Wait our alliance as in you and trouble OR our alliance as in you and me? Because I have a lot of flavor thank you very much. Wait...No. Tough as steak. You're right. No flavor. 

Status updates? As in "we are doing xyz?" updates. Why did they discontinue it?

Ah yes, a massacre in every episode is never good.
You didn't like season 2? Was it Azula *Evil laugh*
Not big on Anime??? Noooooooooo. Oh well. :lol

Excellent example. Got to keep my mysterious act up. If people read my mind I would lose it all. I am after all a Ninja. :brow
But yeah - reading people's minds. You never know what goes on. I actually heard a radio drama once on that. A kid got the ability to point a pin at people and here their thoughts (it was in a machine of course) and found out that even when people don't mean to, there are just some thoughts that should not be known. Or something like that. But yeah...Reading thoughts - no bueno.

No worries there. Though I did have a good spot on time with some cousins were over. I used it on the same cousin several times. He would come into the room, look and then leave and I would get out and sit on the couch like I had been there the whole time. That was awesome! Poor kid. Must have blown his mind. :lol
