I heard those crazy kids at Youtube decided to turn everything upside down for a portion of the day... nuts!
Facebook quizzes taken from Natalie and Gretchen:
Leslie completed the quiz "What Muppet Are You?" with the result Rowlf. You are a calm and quiet person, but this does not mean you are overlooked. You are easygoing and a fan of the finer things in life. Your artistic flair leads you to appreciate the arts, especially music! People are drawn to you, and enjoy your sense of style. Your hospitality is flawless, as you love entertaining friends. ("The finer things in life," eh? Reminds me of what Raymond put on that card, haha.)
Leslie completed the quiz "Which Grease Character Are You?" with the result Didi Conn-Frenchy. You are a well-loved person who is always willing to have a laugh. You have the best fashion sense out of all your friends, and don't care what people think. You will knuckle down and do your work, but you will pass from one job to the next. You have the best laugh and have the looks of a little girl. You always smile and have many friends. You don't hide away in the corner, and are not afraid to be yourself. You have many talents such as piercing ears or smoking a cigarette in a special way. You are very supportive and a shoulder to cry on. All your family and friends think you are a WOMBABLUBA AWOMBAMBOO.
Leslie completed the quiz "Which Shakespearean Character Would You Be?" with the result Hamlet. You are Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, of whom was said, "Madness in great ones must not unwatch'd go." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intelligent, educated, and prone to over-thinking, you are torn by your own conflicting philosophies and fears. Given a questionable task, you question every aspect of your quest. Should you just play a part or direct the action? Whom should you believe? Whom can you trust? Is it even worth it? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shakespearean kindred spirits: Richard II, Marcus Brutus, Jaques, Prospero, Paulina, Lear, Hal.
Leslie completed the quiz "Which Sesame Street character are you?" with the result Oscar. You are usually grouchy and you don't like to leave home. But when it comes to your pet, you'd do anything for them. (... Oscar the Grouch?! YIKES. I say the questions on the quiz were way too limiting! :P)
Vanessa H. just invited me to the Buck and Ear on Saturday for drinks. Now I have to figure out where it IS (12111 3rd Avenue; at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Moncton), although she says it's somewhere in Steveston, and I can take the 401 there. I may or may not go, depending on how tired I am after Awana!
Rice update: I decided to make the entire bag of Uncle Ben's Natural Selections rice, and the finished product fits into a large soup bowl, which is nice to know for when I buy that again. Corey and I were also discussing Final Fantasy II.
[15:11:45] Flami: learning about martyrs: have you ever heard of a Final Fantasy character named Cloud Strife?
[15:11:53] *** "Corey" signed off at Wed Apr 01 15:11:53 2009.
[15:11:54] *** "Corey" signed on at Wed Apr 01 15:11:54 2009.
[15:12:55] Corey: did you just send a message? I heard it from the other room, then logged in on the computer I'm actually on. if it wasn't you, I have to get up and go look at it! :P
[15:11:45] Flami: *paste of earlier message*
[15:16:59] Corey: why, yes, I have!
[15:23:25] Flami: why?
[15:23:42] Corey: why have I heard of Cloud?
[15:25:10] Corey: he's the main character of Final Fantasy VII
[15:25:45] Corey: which is about the most popular game in the series.. it was the first one on the Playstation. I liked the Super Nintendo ones better myself...
[15:26:58] Flami: I think I almost finished Final Fantasy II, but that was about it for me.
[15:28:32] Corey: III was really good
[15:28:54] Corey: also, II and III are called IV and VI now :P
[15:28:57] Flami: (hang on... inspecting burbling rice)
[15:29:36] Flami: but why?!
[15:35:08] Corey: Final Fantasy 1, we got
Final Fantasy 2, we didn't get (NES game)
same for FF3
FF4 was the first Super Nintendo game, and since we didn't get 2 or 3, they renamed it to Final Fantasy II here
[15:35:28] Corey: we didn't get Final Fantasy 5 either, so Final Fantasy 6 came out here as Final Fantasy III
[15:36:21] Corey: then Final Fantasy VII came out on the Playstation and they kept the real numbering, and almost all of them (except FF III - Japan) came out as remakes on the Playstation with the proper numbering
[15:37:09] Corey: FF III was never released in English anywhere, except on the Nintendo DS recently, but totally redone in 3D and stuff. there's fan translations of II, III, and V though.
[15:38:11] Corey: Final Fantasy V was one of the first complete fan translations, done since it was obvious we'd never get it over here... then several years later, they started releasing them on the Playstation and Square themselves released it in English... and did a lousy job compared to the fan version that was already out :P
[15:39:07] Corey: maybe you remember all the item names being short and not making much sense in FF II.. that's because there were only like 8 characters available for the names, so everything had to be abbreviated...
[15:40:29] Corey: the amateur translation hacked things up to allow for more room, so all the names are complete and nice looking, and they hacked in extra space to have enough room for the full script instead of having to condense it like the official translation did... (Japanese takes up fewer characters than English, and the games have a finite amount of space)
[15:41:09] Corey: Square should have just paid the guys that did that to use theirs instead of making their own, because the kids with spare time on their hands did a much better job...
[15:47:43] Flami: man, the numbering is a bit confusing, but I guess it's understandable
[15:48:13] Flami: I do remember the item names being kinda nonsensical... hackers!
[15:51:51] Flami: hey, Google has a drop-down menu now!
[15:54:26] Corey: and an AI cyborg thing that's going to take over the world
[15:55:57] Corey: and apparently Youtube was upside down or something.. it's not now, but recent comments keep talking about everything being upside down
[15:56:18] Corey: and I don't see any drop-down menu
[15:59:02] Flami: I heard about the Youtube thing
[15:59:09] Flami: go search for something in Google...
[16:00:02] Corey: yeah? same as ever...
[16:08:13] Flami: you don't get a drop-down menu with result numbers?
[16:11:00] Corey: that's always been there
[16:13:53] Flami: so how is it that I only noticed it today?!
[16:18:49] Corey: I don't know, but that's been there for quire a while now
[16:19:02] Corey: I never use that though, I use the Firefox search bar thing
