I LIVED ON A FUCKING SUPERVOLCANO

OH YEAH? I LIVED IN A SHARE HOUSE ON DUKE STREET AND I LIVED IN KINGS CROSS! AND NOT THE YUPPIE PART, EITHER!

Oh yeah? Well I lived close enough to Detroit that a stray bullet could take me down at any minute!

Yeah? Well I am currently in East Cleveland. If I am out walking too late at night I will get shot. Hell, people have been robbed at gunpoint right outside my dorm.

heh - That reminds me of my security training way back when. They were testing us, randomly attacking us, with any technique that we were either taught to counter, or for those of us with any other training, they'd mix it up and get a little interesting.

So, they're testing people, a Clavicle poke here and a right hook there, and one of the instructors walks up to me. I find this a little suspicious, since I'm chilling off to one side, and my suspicions are confirmed when he Yells incoherently and pulls a (Permanently disabled, but still "Real") Gun - And In the process of taking it off him, I accidentally broke his fingers.

I LIVED IN A SMALL TOWN ON A RANCH AND BEFORE THAT IN A QUIET SUBURB! I'M EXTREEEEEME!!!!!!

Wait, what were we talking about?

I think you should go visit the Berlin Wall, because that's cool.

Well, I live in my head! It's roomy in here.

Though my imagination is frightening at times...

Question is, was he happy or sad that you "passed the test"?

Hmmm, I think Aeridus might win that little bout, only because I'm sure that his head contains glories that the real world can only hope to achieve

Oh, you'd like to move in with me Lulu?

There's plenty of available space; I have a nice lot overlooking a herd of wild tentacle monsters and a pretty view of an alien sunset.

It's deal Aeridus. I'll bring the mojito's and we can lie back in our gold-spun hammock and watch the ruby-coloured sunset as herds of clockwork-driven wilder beast majestically thunder across the sweeping plains

Oh, quite happy I passed the test, but rather irritated about his broken fingers.

Serves him right for having fingers in the first place.

Sounds like a plan!

MistressMaggie is coming to you live from Fira, Santorini, Greece!

This is the single greatest vacation I have ever been on in my life. I spent the day on a ferry through the Greek Islands. This place is AMAZING!

Aeridus · Post by **Aeridus** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 10:31 pm

Glad to hear you're having fun!

I visited Korfu and Kos when I was over there in the earelier 90's. I met some irish tourists and we hit it off just fine. When they got drunk they started dancing on the tables <chuckle>. Later on we got intimite in some of the greek ruins we found late that night.

...funny you should say that...

Today, I was convinced I went through the looking glass.

My friend and I were hiking in the next town, and these two stray dogs followed us for an hour and a half, we couldn't get rid of them. we went to a bakery and sat there until they fell asleep then tried to leave, but they followed us everywhere. eventually we get to this gas station and the guy who owns it comes out and I ask him and his (very hot) son how to get rid of them. They try getting rid of them but they won't leave. So we start walking again and the gas station owner pulls up in his car and offers us a ride to the next town to get away from the dogs. we agree, and he takes us back to the gas station where his son translates for us and tells us that his father wants to invite us to christmas dinner. we try to refuse, and he says it's ok, but then he just takes us back to his house. We're thinking that we should just start hiking from there, but then his wife comes out and tells us we must come in and dine with them, so we go in. The smokin hot son arrives shortly after that, and we have some santorini wine and cheese, then sit down for dinner with the parents, steamy son, his friend who doesn't speak english, some other female relative, and a family friend who apparently has 7 kids and a pregnant wife at home. After dinner, which was amazingly fun, the son tells us he's going to take us on a tour of the island, so we pile into his jeep with him and his friend and they take us on a tour of the island to take photos, then we go to a cafe to watch the sunset over the volcano, then we had a glass of wine in his apartment and he dropped us off at our hostel. we're meeting him in half an hour to go to a nightclub.

did I mention he's really really hot?

Meh, if you pull a gun on someone close enough to them such that they can disarm you, you deserve to get your damn fingers broken.

But what of the poor boy in Canada?

Also, I confess I thought the two dogs you were referring to were two very ugly old men who had the hots for you and were stalking you.
