Post a random fact about yourself.

[Majoraa]

Wow it's been a while. Here are some small facts.

- Cola and music are the only things keeping my inner hostility in check.

-I don't do romance. Not now, not ever. Yet when it comes to characters that are in a ship, my own or any other, I tend to fangirl.

-I want a pet snek. Yet I also want a pet duck, so I can name it Goose.

-I nearly drowned once. Never went swimming again after that.

Also what's with the sadness train going on?! Where's the good vibes people, we need them good vibes!!

I can't believe I played Ryan Tannehill in Fantasy Football this week. Sure Miami has had a great start to the year and New England's performance has been dismal. Why the hell should I all of a sudden start doubting Bill Belichick? New England dominated that game as usual and Tannehill gave me 1.00 lousy FF point this week. Meanwhile, Blake Bortles, QB, JAX, sat on my bench and generated 25.32 FF point that serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever! Aargh!
All that aside, I'm actually winning without Bortles because Sony Michel, RB, NE had a stellar day as well as Chicago Bears Defense; Saquon Barkley, RB, NYG and Brandin Cooks, WR, LAR.

I have no clue what's being said. what is fantasy football? is it like real football?

[Luna_Maria]

fact about myself: now i'm afraid of making mistakes in the stock market. whenever I make some money, i'm afraid of giving it all back, and so I don't trade. even though my brain is fresh today and i'm alert

I'm very influenced by things I view as seasonal. Perhaps not what others view, but more what I associate with a season. For example, I associate Pitch Black Mt. Dew with Halloween, and this song with autumn in general.

[HaleyTheRandom]

It makes me mad that stores put out both Halloween and Christmas decorations at the same time. LET ME HAVE MY SPOOKY MONTH!!!

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

You are not the only one, @HaleyTheRandom. The time for the celebration of Christmas does not come until the end of Thanksgiving, at which I find it acceptable to begin decorating and putting out the varied merchandise. That it starts now in October and the two bleed into one another directly, stores in some cases having those mingling isles, is irritating. Let each holiday have its time, especially when Thanksgiving has almost always been overshadowed at this rate.

I agree.

It's a little strange walking through Wal-Mart while growing at costumes and being chocked by the smell of cinnamon from the Christmas decorations in the next isle. Granted there really aren't any decorations for Thanksgiving, but I feel like this is one holiday that gets glossed over to easily.

I learned how to conjugate Dead Latin verbs to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme song:

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

1st Conjugation (A-Stem Verb); Amare (to love) - Try singing a 1st Conjugation Present Tense:

Amo-Amas-Amat-Amamus-Amatis-Amant

2nd Conjugation (E-Stem Verb); Habere (to have) - Now, try singing a 2nd Conjugation Present Tense:

Habeo-Habeos-Habet-Habemus-Habatis-Habebant... et cetera.

It works down the tenses, as well:

1st Conjugation (A-Stem Verb); Amare, (to love) Perfect Tense

Amavi-Amavis-Amavit-Amavimus-Amavitis-Amaverunt

But after a while it needs more tune hacking:

1st Conjugation (A-Stem Verb); Amare, (To love) Pluperfect Tense

Ameram-Amaveras-Amaverat-Amaveramus-Amaveritis-Amaverant

---

& now for a Quick Paradigm Pattern Reference Guide for memorizing the tenses by seeing how they grow on each other:

Present Tense: -o, -as, -at, -amus, -atis, -ant
Imperfect Tense: -abam, -abas, -abat, -abamus, -abatis, -abant
Perfect Tense: -i, -isti, -it, -imus, -istis, -erunt
Pluperfect Tense: -eram, -eras, -erat, eramus, -eratis, -erant

P: -o
I: -abam
Per -i
Pl: -eram

Subjunctive Present Tense: -em, -es, et, -emus, -etis, -ent
Subjective Imperfect Tense: -arem, -ares, aret, -aremus, -aretis, -arent
Subjunctive Perfect Tense: -erim, -eris, -erit, -erimus, -eritis, -erint
Subjunctive Pluperfect Tense: -issem, -isses, -isset, -issemus, -issetis, -issent

Sp: -em
Si: -arem
Sper: -erim
Spl: -issem

Subjunctive Present Tense: aside from the First Person, Present Case with the e replacing the a.
Subjective Imperfect Tense: identical to the Subjunctive Present except -ar is put in front of each ending.
Subjunctive Perfect Tense: aside from the First & Second Person, Perfect Tense with the -er replacing the i.
Subjunctive Pluperfect Tense: Ssuper Pluperfectiss-y.

(Subjunctive) Perfect & (Subjunctive) Pluperfect like the letter v and u.

(Subjunctive) Pluperfect conjugate the same across all of the four (4) conjugations.

I know I wouldn't last long in a bad situation. Prison, the Purge, the apocalypse. If the Hunger Games were real, I'd just step off the pedestal early and off myself.

I got my 6th gen i7 computer during black Friday 2-3 years ago.
800 dollars for i7 6700, 8 gb of ram, 1 tb of hard drive, and a gtx 970.
did I get a good deal? I think so, ha!
I think it may have been 2015 black Friday, but it could have been 2016 black Friday... not sure... probably 2015. now that i think of it, I recall that gtx 10 series were already out, so maybe 2016 black friday

I feel that we are all talking about things that excites us, but we come from so many different backgrounds that no one understands what the other person is talking about.

[Ishikawa]

I'm obsessed about the show Gotham. Help. Please.

I have no clue what's being said. what is fantasy football? is it like real football?

@Luna_Maria

I play in a Fantasy Football league on Yahoo Sports. There are 12 teams in my league. My team is "Boston Eagles". I live in the Boston, MA area and am a fan of New England Patriots. The name Boston Eagles is a play on the Boston College Eagles football team.

Before the season started, we had a live draft where we take turns choosing a Quarterback, three Wide Receivers, two Running Backs, a Tight End, a Kicker, a Defense and six bench players of your choice. During the NFL season you manage your FF team to insure the best player is on the field that week. The last game of the week is played Monday night and the first game is played Thursday night. So, you have from Tuesday morning until Thursday to set your line up for the week. Although, I won that game last week, I could have had 24 more points than I did if I had played Blake Bortles over Ryan Tannehill. It is all based on real NFL players and their performance, but is done for fun, rather than money. There are money leagues, but I would never want to put that sort of pressure on me. I just enjoy doing it for fun.

My team is actually in good shape, but the one thing you can't count on is injured players. They will really upset your team, but you need to be prepared to manage those. I lost Jimmy Garoppolo when he went out from a torn ACL. Joe Mixon is currently on my bench with a knee injury. I'm hoping he will be back this week. He is currently listed as Questionable. But my RB slots are pretty strong with Mixon, Sony Michel and Saquon Barkley.

@Gunther

so there are 12 players in your league? so you named your team "boston eagles", right? so that means there are 11 other teams created by 11 other players?

[Luna_Maria]

nvm, I get it now. I went to yahoo fantasy football website

edit: interesting... I like the pro leagues part. but the problem is I don't watch football. never really gotten into it. which is why I stink in tennis betting as well. I don't watch professional tennis for fun. I think if you want to bet on tennis or football, one key factor to your success is you have to want to watch it for fun...….. ummm

@Luna_Maria

Correct. I enjoy watching football and have been playing this game for 11 years. This is my 12th year.

Since we are on the topic, none of the ball sports ever made any sense to me while all of the combative sports did. I suppose to each's own in the end.

I regularly train and spar in combat sports. Still like watching football, regardless.
