I rather like road-trips, actually. So long as I'm not the one driving I suppose. Just hours of piece and relaxation with a favorite book, game, movie, or music. A small, familiar space with a constantly changing scenery. Long car rides are something I used to dread, but now that my family no longer does them I find myself sorely missing them. How typical.

:shock: I actually forgot about that! :lol: Been pretty busy myself lately...
Is there a way to turn off your sig without deleting it? because it takes forever to go in, take it down, then go back in, and put it back up again. Oh wait, there's an option down there! I never saw that... Still learning! 8-}

Because... The second week of June is the approximate one-year anniversary of my obsession with Transformers! I thought it would be really cool if I submitted my app that week, in celebration.

Well, you could always spend the first week of June getting your app ironed out (it's not always the speediest process) and celebrate during the second week by (hopefully) making your first in-character post.

No pressure either way, whatever you decide to do. Just something to ponder.

Not the speediest process? Strange, usually takes me an hour or two to come up with an app. *shrug*

Wait. You mean you can actually pin down the start of your Trasformers obsession to the week? Jeez, I just go by how long it's been since 2007.

Actually, I'm not sure. It's either the second week or the third week. All I know is that it was the same week as my cousin's first communion. One of the gifts he got was War for Cybertron, and watching him play got me hooked.

Second thing was the two Bay movies out at the time. Third, and the thing that transformed the relationship from interest to obsession was Trasnsformers Animated. That was the one that got me 'cause it showed me Transformers was so much cooler than the Bay movies let on.
I mean, the special effects were amazing, Peter Cullen was awesome, and every one in a while there was a good one liner, (IE "Super high tech robots. They must be Japanese.") however it was lacking in overall charm and plot.

And now I paraphrase Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged- "You really need to lay off the spray on tan. You look like that woman from the Transformers movies" "You mean Shia LaBeuf?" "That's the one."

I don't care if I spelled his name wrong.

Get FE Bumblebee. I know, it's another bee, but you WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED. I paid 26 for mine, and have not regretted it. He blows all the other prime bumblebees out of the water. I'm tellin ya, it'll make you question why you ever bought the rid one in the first place.
