<div class="IPBDescription">Weee</div> Well I'm back from California. It's really nice out there with all the Million-Dollar cliff-side homes, $2.00 gas prices and stuff. You people who live in California, no comments because it was about 72°F out there, and it was 22°F back home here in Pennsylvania. I will have a pic/movie gallery up for the trip soon so if your interested (which your probably not) you can take a look. It WILL be at <a href='http://69.136.102.3/california04.html' target='_blank'>http://69.136.102.3/california04.html</a>. I love California a lot...especially the San Diego/Anaheim/La Jolla area.

By the way, I went on this trip with the Council Rock High School North marching Band. We had a lot of fun actually.

    I'm in Fresno. Pretty damned cold(and overcast like england for the past frickin 4 months!) and not too much fun. Just to let you know, while people in Cali get payed bigtime, you gotta remember the price of living is much higher(like Gas as mentioned, as well as taxes, and the overall price hike of everything), and even still, its not that fun here. Value wherever you live- I'd rather live in a place with Blizzards every week than here.

    I miss California. Quanaut, you might be hating it now but when you move somewhere else that has absolutely nothing to do (like Kansas <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) you'll be missing it. Thankfully, I'm going back tomorrow for the weekend to visit family and stuff.

    Hey, in Fresno, there is nothing to do. We have a LAN center: The only games it has are anything in Steam, and BF42. They "Have" plenty of others, but they either don't work, or you have to have them at home(like FFXI. Why have a MMO at a LAN center? It defeats most of the purpose!). Other than that, we have 2 water parks in the general area, but whenever they are open, the lines are longer than at Disneyland. And the only non-waterpark places to go, "Boomers!" and "Blackbeard's" are both under-funded pieces of crap that only survive because of the DDR players, and anyone who wants to play some miniature golf, or do Go Karts(of which, the DDR machines have stuck buttons, the miniature golf courses are black with spilt coke and candy, and the Go Karts are so tuned-down that the max speed is 10 mph, that I could go easy on my bike(my average on my bike[mah biek 4evah!] is 25-30). Down in LA is better I'm sure, but here, it sucks. Not even any non-airhead girls around, and those that aren't airheads are too stuck up to care.

    And you'd rather you would be in Pennsylvania, where it's 6?F in the morning and 35?F in the afternoon, and you have winter storms every week? XD

    Yes, houses are very expensive here.


    Stay away from Compton or LA. Unless you wanna get shot.

    Fresno isn't that bad Qua, once you get a little older and you realize that it's actually a pretty nice place. Up until around college, it definitely sucks.

    heh your all complainign bout how bad you weather is.. heh well i gotta say australia weather is brilliant,, well to me it is..

    atm its pouring cats and dogs, has been for 2 days, got a cyclone just 8 hrs from us , so we get all teh rain,, the cyclone wont survive any trip towards us so it stays in the sea and sends all its lovely clouds to us.. hopefully we will be getting a second flood this year <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> oh i LOVE floods.. all our bridges get covered up, then all the bridges which are the main source of entering/exiting our town overflow, so noone can come in or out, and then because it rains so much, flights are cancelled..

    this only happens once a yr where i am, so it rains for 2-3 mths, then all yr round dry weather.. so our wet season is blissful!. absolutely love it.. even though houses get flooded etc.. its still brilliant!. hell nothing more fun than to go swimming down the flooded river tides (just gotta watch out for underwater gum trees rofl <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

    of course in the mid year season our temps are always 32-44 degrees celcius. but hey i dont really care. and the winter season, well usually its 8 degrees until 11 am, then its up to 30 degrees.. but meh, the winter nights, damn! 2 degrees usually! ..

    now this aint a sarcastic post,, instead of complaining about the weather here, im honestly saying, i love the weather here. all year round.. hell if it ever hails or snows here itll be like heaven!.. but i highly doubt that cus we are like,, in the middle of nowhere in a mid/desert place. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    You want crazy weather, try living in Ohio. It will be freezing one day, spring like weather the next, and then freezing again. Old saying about Ohio weather, if you don't like it, wait around awhile, it will change...

    Not only that, I live in Columbus, so I have to wear a helmet when I drive on 270 because of that damn sniper!

    edit* Ok, I just found <a href='http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/news/1076495549160490.xml' target='_blank'>this</a> which seriously making me consider moving out of this state.

    Oh damn that's gotta suck. Well here in the Seoul, the weather is actually getting better, it went from freezing cold to just plain cold. I think spring will be arriving early this yea, which is great I love spring and summer, absolutely love it. Only dangers about Seoul is the anti-american protesters who throw rocks, molotov cocktails, eggs, etc over the gates and at the korean riot police. It's funny though, the whole time the protesters have a korean parody of "Surfing USA" which is called "F**king USA"

    In pittsburgh, when the sun finally comes out people walk around in a daze. Last year we didn't see the sun for 3 months straight. Every day it was either raining or snowing or otherwise had a flat grey sky.
