I wanted to see the Netherlands game! crying

I did see Paraguay and Italy. Kinda ehhhh. 1-1. I wanted Paraguay to win. They had more possession of the ball for the first half and Italy in the last.

That's a great cover on the Post, too. XDD  

[Hey Pasta]

In a four hour shift I answered the phone more times than I think I probably ever have...and nearly all of the calls were "do you have the iPhone 4G in-stock? When can I preorder it?" x.x

edit: I am ridiculously behind on this but omg Hetalia is adorable. <3


edit2: *spaz spaz spaz spaz* His parents bought a house and he's hinting that they could rent it out "or, you know, have people they LIKE live there..." and he wants me to come over and look at it. Oh geeze oh geeze, will not get excited or get my hopes up that they want us to live there. Will not will not too late. x.x

So...yeah...I finally got my hacked account back.

See if I ever offer any of those ******** a free Fremere again. I spent my 6th Gaiaversary locked out of my profile.

AND they got my mule too.

AND they tried to make my main account some sort of RIG item hideaway.

...

...

So how was your week?  

[Sevi Rais]

Spent three days sitting on a query letter and sent it in right now. I just want to crrrrrrrrrrrry. crying


But that Swiss and Spain game looked awesome. Crazy upset! Wish I saw it. ):

Jeezy creezy, that sucks. Good you've got it back, though.  

[Jahoclave]

Hey, on the plus side, France managed not to defeat themselves.

And yes, the Swiss: that was one ******** up goal. I kind of felt sorry for the Spanish dude who got his face stomped on.

And I've never seen a goalie get red carded before. So that was neat. I kind of wanted to see them not be able to replace him just to see what kind of crazy s**t they'd try to score on and what crazed ideas they'd do to try and defend the goal.

*snugs*

It sucks that they got both of your accounts. ;o; At least you've been recovered..

I'd have a serious meltdown if my accounts got compromised. Dx

And I just read your journal, I had no idea it happened after you posted in SCAS about your giveaway. There have been a ton of hackings in there. Makes me nervous, too. -o-; Oh well. I have complex passwords on both my email and my Gaia account. And I don't think anyone knows me well enough to answer my security questions. I guess that doesn't make me impervious, especially since I'm sure you didn't have simple passwords either, but nothing's happened to me yet. *knocks on wood*

That totally blows. I completely forgot about my Gaiaversary until I read this post. Too late, now. I guess it's not that exciting to me, ********. Why is my internet being so slow? It's running worse than a 56k.

Bah... quoting yourself doesn't work towards achievements. I wish they were retroactive - I'm not feeling very talkative, lately.

I know the feeling. I had to haunt the chatterbox for a little while with a couple people to get the quote and 50 posts one. Now, I see there's one that is "have a thread you created reach 500 replies" and I'm just like feh, I'm not that dedicated, seriously. And nobody wants to chat with me that much, since I use IRC and stuff to talk to most people.

You had to work for the 50 post one? I thought that it counted your previous post count for that, but you had to post once to "activate" it.

Hmm... 500 replies. I wonder how my booty grab bump thread is doing. Of course, that achievement isn't even unlocked, yet. Why can't quoting in guilds work? gonk

Why can't doing things in guilds work? Or count? If achievements are here to convince people to participate fully in the community, well, guilds are part of that. They're a way for people to make the overwhelming size of Gaia manageable. As such, they're no less "community," no less participatory, than posting in a regular part of the forums is.  

[Lady Pyre]

All good points, kermi. I think they just can't be bothered to update guild coding so it can function with the rest of the site. I mean... it's pretty much stayed the same since guilds came out ('04?). Still, you'd think there would have at least been an achievement for joining a guild. Although I'm kinda glad there isn't, so I don't have to look for one to join only to quit it a few days later.

I want to do something with the alchemy hat. *fiddles with inventory*  

[kerminatrix]

Yes. I wish they'd bring them in line with the rest of the site. Not an especially original thought, but still and all.
