...so, seeing as we were all without TZ for a while last night... how did everyone manage?

me... I worked from 12:30 - 9:30 (don't ask), played Final Fantasy X for about 2 hours (mainly playing blitzball), did some random surfing (occaisionally checking back to TZ after midnight to see if it was back yet)... and then slept...

...how exciting

Damn blitzball...I can't stand that mini-game. I played tribes 2 and then watched SNL. Jack Black was hilarious. I loved the happy-birthday song. Thats about it.

I simply finally got around to updating things that really needed it(finally re-organized my fav. places).
E-mailed those who I had to, then went out really late...ahh....then got up for church this morning!

I hit refresh every 2 minutes from midnight till 5am, then I gave up and went to bed.

I completely forgot TZ was going down. I had a date, so I was away all night anyhow.

But, I also watched the SNL with Jack Black. I left in the middle to go out for ice cream, but what I saw was funny. I love The D.

Aaahhh, it's great to be back!

I spent most of it surfing the web, then I went to sleep.

What a time I had......

Worked on something for class for a couple of hours, then got bored of that and worked on a t-shirt design for a friend. Whoohoo! :rolleyes:

I sat and cried at the error messages my browser kept showing every time I tried to get to TZ. ;)

Ah Toon Zone... *sigh* She's a cruel, cruel mistress. :p

I got those error messages, too, but after reading them a few dozen times, I was hooked! Now I can't get thru the day without them! I love it! And now that I'm on a crappy local ISP, and using IE to boot, I can read them all I want!

Actually, TBW and I managed to find a few things to do last night...

But this is a family-friendly website... :eek:

I played the Sims for a long time...thought about studying for my exams...went online and surfed for a while, and then stared sadly at the blank screen when I tried to get onto Toonzone...oh what an exciting life I lead... :p

I was at work all night, so I didn't miss a thing. Well, I did find some PMs and a chat room invitation when I came home, none that were on line by the time I saw them. So to the person who IMed me Saturday night and to the person who sent me the invitation, I wasn't ignoring you!

I spent on lot of time on the internet, mostly looking at Marvel's dotcomics. At the same time, I half-watched the Pats game, which they somehow managed to win. I checked TZ a few times also, especially after midnight, then went to bed.

Fun, no? :rolleyes:

Posted some messages at Usenet, read some fanfics at Fanfiction.net, then went to bed.

Spent time cursing my server before I realized that there was an outage announced earlier. Worked. Wrote some notes for a new fic. Printed out a fic I'm supposed to beta-read. Shopped online, bugged Bird Boy for a new avatar :) Slept.

A slow night, all in all.

I was playing my PSONE all night. Mostly Grand Theft Auto 2. I tried to play Smackdown!2, but my redneck neighbors scratched the game up. I like Jack Black but I hate rednecks....

I hate rednecks!

I didn't find out about the whole server thing till after 6PM (still up at about 6:12...), and did my internet rounds. I went too sleep mega early for a Saturday (10:30) woke up late (9:30AM!).

I'm nocturnal...and my hormones are screwed up....so....i went to sleep at 4 and woke up at 1. I'm a legend among the owls around here. They call me 'McHoot' the missing link between Raptor and man.

I was out on a crime spree and causing mayhem of all sorts. Apparently TZF is the only thing keeping me off the streets. :p

Actually, I watched the end of the football game, then I played my guitar for most of the rest of the night.

Glad I'm not the only one who can't get the hang of *$#@?! blitzball.

I spent my time having an absolutely stupendous date with a gal who is not only generally stupendous, but a comic/cartoon fan to boot. How cool is that?

I watched B5 LotR...then went to bed.

After that, I went to work...and managed to be the 1st person back on TZ!!

I chatted on AIM for a few minutes because my darn boarders were here to pick me up to bring me to their darn house because my darn parents went on a darn trip to Israel to visit my darn sister!

*cough*

Many people can attest to that chat. I'm not sure if they'd want to, after that rant.....{shrugs}

I pretty much avoid them, ever since I got beat up by their cousin Austin Nichols.

Kraft Dinner....that's Canadian for Macaroni & Cheese....
I learned that from Barenaked Ladies! =D

I've heard of beer chili (thanks to Drew Carey), but that's ridiculous!

I don't know, I couldn't really taste it. Then again, we were having "dinner" at 4 am in the morning.

Ok, so I guess they cooked it in with the mac&cheese? Which isnt so bad then. I thought u meant they cooked it, then poured a whole bunch of JD on it afterwards. Now that *shudders* would be nasty.

Ah yeah, I should have said that. Come to think about it, most of the alcohol would have probably boiled off. Eh. *shrugs* Either way, it's New Year's, in a big house full of teenagers- what do you expect? :D

Well, does my mom count? She makes it kinda like a casserole and it is awesome. Kraft or Velveeta don't have thing on that stuff.

When I worked at a restaurant we would make it from scratch for the kiddies precooked noodles, milk and cheddar cheese, and microwave. Really easy and really tasty.
