Also, I'm curious if anyone would like to do a Dungeons & Dragons roleplay because I have a DM manual and a player's handbook and I would like to use them.  But I've never run a game before so I would need a few "guinea pigs" to practice on...I can make a thread for discussing it if a few people show interest.

I might be interested depending on which edition you use. I'm not really up for learning the new rulesets.

I have the 5th Edition books.

You could make chocolate milk from scratch.  Especially if you have some chocolate syrup that can be mixed with milk, but I prefer using cocoa powder and sugar with milk (though that has to be heated to dissolve the sugar).

I went today for a study session outdoors which turned into a bird-watching session, and that was pretty great! :D
I saw a hummingbird bullying an ovenbird mercilessly, flying over it and pecking its head, and it was hilarious. Hummingbirds are evil little things, and I love them.
Also, I saw a little dove who fell of its nest and couldn't get back. It was so little and scared, and the mom dove tried to make it fly back to the nest, without success. I tried to catch the little dove and put it back in the tree, but it ran away from me, and I gave up after a few minutes. Later I asked the janitor to look for it, and apparently it made its way back to a small tree.

That's great!  Do you want to announce it either in the SSSS Tumblr thread or Other Social Media?  I'm afraid the news will get quickly buried here.

We were chatting with Viola yesterday and she randomly asked me "are there any Canadians on the forum you don't know?" because it's actually a bit surprising how many Canadian friends I have. I just replied that I had no idea because in all honesty I have never counted my Canuck collection, but just now I happened to look up and realized what's dangling almost on top of my head whenever I'm at my computer:



ooops. All this time I was using a lure and had no idea, just kept wondering how on earth I managed to friend with Canadians so much when all I do is try to get them to visit Iceland and/or to fight me.

(I'm not taking it down.)

It all makes perfect sense now. I can't believe you were unaware. ;p

Shhh. Maple syrup is delicious and everyone knows Canucks are the natural source of it. What else can I do.

Why would you fight a Canadian? Is it like metaphorical fighting where you try to apologise the most?

I take it "Canuck" is slang for more than just 'a person from Canada' *Mass Effect 2 flashbacks*

What's even stranger is that both Yuuago and I found you on the internet before the forum was even created...  :o

It's because she knows that it'll always end in this:
