The EOFF Christmas Party

Okay this is going to be a social event kinda like a party whereas you have to ask a member to come to the party with you and they have to agree to come. Will you just ask right out? Will they accept? Will you hold out and see if anyone asks you? What if you wait too long and noone asks and then there's noone available? After the couple gets together you have to decide what dish of food you will bring. Lets say you have to have your answers in by Midnight Sunday. The party will be Monday. Asking has to be in thread but food can be PM'd if you want it to be a surprise!

Lets see... Let's see... Who do I want to bring? I don't know! What if I ask and they turn me down? Everyone will laugh at me! I think I'll wait a few days and see if anyone will ask me. If noone does hopefully I'll still be able to find someone still available I want to go with.

Hey, theundeadhero, lets get freaky. naughty... super freaky, on Monday! :wink:

P.S. It's pirate ghosts!

Ohmanohmanohmanohmanohman. I remember old EoFF parties. They kicked. Too bad they stopped allowing them. Maybe we'll get some leeway this time.

Get down with your funky self.

edit: waitaminute. This resembles more of the old EoFF proms than the parties I assumed. Proms didn't work out too well after the first one. Maybe since it's forum based it'll work out better, though.

i have enough trouble with this in real life :'(

I never get asked and it's to hard to find someone

So this would be the perfect opportunity to get to know someone on the forums you have never talked too before. Hmmmm, who to ask, who to ask....

just so you all know that was a big joke. I just realized it might have seemed a little to real. I face the same dilemma....who to ask?

We had a forum prom awhile back. It was a pretty smashing success, mostly because I was involved in it. :smash:

Does your partner have to be a person of the opposite sex?

Nopers

Psychotic, will you marry me go to the Christmas Party with me? ^_^ <3

No, he's going with me! *Pushes Denmark aside*

wow psy.... look at you go. how many lines did you drop into the sea exactly?

I don't know Spritz. I don't know you very well. I'll have to get back to you. ( I'm kinda hoping to get asked by a girl too. )

i have noticed that there seems to be far more boys around than girls. It may just be the threads that i'm seeing but there aren't many girls posting....wierd?

I'm gonna go just to se if bond turns up again

OmG. Waaah. Chickens.

Psy's probably going with me. :}

chaos: Psy's mine! :mad2:

Rubedo: On second though... who wants to go to the Christmas party with me?

I'm gonna ask lots of people in the hope that i will come with more than one date. Then i will be the pimp of the party....YAY!!!!!

chaos: Yeesh, barely any females online.

Rubedo: No sign of Psy either ;)

Hoorah, I'ma goin' with the Giggles. :D

i still can't think of who to ask. This gets frustrating.

chaos: I feel so lonely :( *Really, really really really really cute sad face*

The soap opera starts...

Dude. WHAT are you guys talking about..? Who wants Psy, anyway? Not I. (hehee that rhymes...) Cos' he STINKS.

And btw.... there's plenty of me to go around ;] I can handle like 300 of you ;-)

wow trumpet.....you're as big a suck up as me. even cuter face...with puppy dog eyes.

Not if I were in that crowd of 300 people. Because I am the biggest object in the entire universe.

Trowa: *Is the hottest one*

Trowa 1

Trowa 2

EDIT: chaos: Goes with Jojo and her crowd :love:

Ok I'll reduce it down to 287 if you come along :tongue:

Rubedo: I still need a date :(

no you don't jojo. There's only enough room for one pimp at this party. Everyone go with me!!!!

Yes but, eternal-honey-poo, if you come with me, everyone would be going with both of us ;)

chaos: Jojo > Eternal Essence

i see your point.... i'll have to consult my boss and i'm not sure about that poo remark. :D

Aw don't be judgemental ^^

Although I am better than everyone....

I'm sure Eternal Essence is great too. ;)

And I do not have an ego.

Edit: Would it be better if I changed poo to duck? n_n

i'm sure you don't ( isee right through you)

Rubedo: Gah, you two can do your thing... lucky Trowa has kikimm.

i'm sure you don't ( isee right through you)

:-[ that sounds embarassing.

trowa may have kikimm but he will never be the psychadelic pimp like me. MWAHAHAHAHAAA

chaos: Lucky bastard. Gimme all the details ;)

now jojo. that's just childinsh.

Jojojojojo, I'd offer to go with you, but I'm probably going to be too preoccupied with my girlfriend the entire day to even bother signing on, so it'd be a wasted invitation ;]

you to trumpet. (my powers are my own to discuss with who i wan't)

chaos: Yeah, Jojo, make your choice. Who do you wanna go with? ;)

tick tock tick tock. Sorry what was that? my watch is malfunctioning (wow...what a corny joke. I STILL GOT IT) :D

What... I have to make a choice? ;) I choose everyone!

Rubedo: Dates so far: Rusty, anime_angel, Jojo (maybe), ...

I'll keep her busy for you. ;)

you big pimp you ( or pimpette....i dunno)

I am both.

Do people with partners get special priveledges, since we're special?

it dosn't matter if i get a date or not. I'll just be questioning bond on some of his morals and hanging around the snack bar real sneaky like.

I go with no one....:)

Unless... someone asks me ;)

Do I look manly to you? :joey: And do these pants make me look lactose intolerant?

<3

Edit: *asks Del Moomba*

Edit: *gives some legal crap about not being mutually exclusive*

righto then *backs away real slowly*

chaos: What a coincidence, Del Moomba!

Rubedo: You can be my date ;)

Just as a disclaimer, if you're his date, you're also my date, cos' he's going with me ^_-

This is gonna be a big orgy. :\

chaos: Works either way! *worships Jojo* :D

ewwwww. EYES ON FF PROUDLY PRESENTS......THE CHRISTMAS ORGY

Haha... you guys are such distractions. I have to study. *runs off* ^_^

Rubedo: Meh, not too many of my choices online yet... :(

EDIT: *Is going to choose later*

so is jojo and del moomba the only couple so far.

chaos: Well, me and Jojo are paired up too, but I wan't someone else as well :D

i'm at the point where i'm picking random members of the list and seeing if there females. I make me sick.

Trowa: *blows the crap out of that smilie* *is hotter*

Trowa: *Is still hotter*

Hey!... how is a newbie going to go looking around for a date? :( any suggestions?

i'm gonna cry soon if no one tells me... hmmph..

chaos: Find another newbie perhaps? Or not mention you're a newbie? :D

look on the member list. or be a big suck up, like me and trumpet.....pulls another cute face.

Trowa: *a cute sad face...* *Girls rush over*

I'm not even sure if I'll be in town Monday, but if I am, I'll see if I can get a date of some sort xD

Anyone wanna "go" with me?

*feels extremely stupid doing this*

*changes into a Cutesy Dressphere* there! all set
(runs around town looking for newbies to hug)


on a casual note: how do you guys reply so fast anyone? its scarcely a few minutes since my last reply and you replied to it :P

*pulls even cuter sadder face and girls run away from trumpet and rush over to me* *pulls face at trumpet*

*makes face, Everyone Dies* oops...

*thingo kills all the moombas* :rock: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA

*takes thingo back and puts him on the ground* You use it by never touching him again.

*winks at KB* Hey thar, sexy man... ^_^ *hops back to studying*

Hey!! look! Trumpet thief's already got a date!! :( we should put our differences aside and steal his date away with our charm.. right?

hmmm, no, lets kick him instead. no wait....i have a better idea. its thingo!!! :rock:

Aww man.....

We can't go single, can we? Is that not an option? :grinpink:

Thats what i was going to do if i didn't get asked or find someone.

Anyone want a lift home? Please?

This is funny. HA HA. -_-

is it? i would say it's cruel and unusual. But thats just me.

Hmmmm. I'll invite Kiuru or LunarYuna. And I'm not afraid, I'll ask them right out! If I come, can I bring some party hats made out of clingfilm?

you do that. I on the other hand am still looking at the member list. but i have asked jojo.

who is this giggles?

Not sure how to say this right... but Such an X-2 girl... would you be with me? we could be the only sane couple against the world! haha :D

*waits patiently for a reply*

where you talking to KB?

You can go alone if you want. Maybe pick up a date there. Don't forget to decide what your wering but you can't tell anyone until Monday at the party.

sorry Ang. I got confused. My bad.

I was looking around and i have decided to ask someone in the same eizon nation than me. Would you like to go to party with me Faris?

Let's go back to page 1 where people were fighting for me. I liked that!

I asked Faris to go with me too. I wonder who she'll pick? Maybe neither of us!

don't let it get you down. Your 25 or so fishing lines may lie dormant at the moment but i'm sure they will be whizzing freshly within time.

did you really? sorry...i didn't know.

It makes it better, like real life. I'm glad you did! Probably hard on her choosing though. I made it like this on purpose to form some kinda... drama thingy.

(Use the edit button instead of double posting. They yell for stuff like that here!)

i sometimes get away with the double post thing when the things i say are completely unrelated.

EDIT: Can you tel your date what you're wearing so you can co-ordinate? What if one of you turned up wearing a moogle costume and the other a moomba, you'de both look quite the idiots.

You can coordinate with PM's. I have a date. YAY! Now to think about what to wear and what food to bring. <====Don't forget the food part.

No, it's not for real.

=Angelus=? Can we have co-ordinating avatars for the day? I'll make them? What's your favourite colour? I'm having shades of pink :D

Ask Kiro! I'm sure he'd love to go with you cuz Kiro once told me that you're sexy.
Here's our AIM conversation:
ChunkinBigTime: so, what do you think about that new Dixie chick from EoFF?
KiroBigTime: aw man i think shes supahfly
ChunkinBigTime: seriously? you don't like her at all?
KiroBigTime: no man i think shes dead SEXY
ChunkinBigTime: wooo me too!
KiroBigTime: she's so hot.... kinda like cookies whent heyve just been baked. i love cookies and how hot they are.
KiroBigTime: Dixie's pretty hot and by pretty hot, i mean extremely sexy

Whoa people talking about me when I'm not here :o

FIRST: To you all who think Psy "IS YOURS"...He's my husband. So back off <3

Secondly: KB, you can come with my date and I. I don't mind! But it's up to you. We can get kind of insane.

tralala~

Ha! Psy wants to go with me. In your faces! *pfftsssqw*

Wow!! i have a date that can make Cute avatars?! this has gotta be the best christmas present!! Ever!! *hushes anyone else who disagreees*

Hee.. well.. i'm not much of a colourful person, but i guess the Brighter shades of Blue would be nice for me (OoooOo.. i'm starting to feel like a couple)

yay! can't wait to see them

Psy is my HUSBAND. Just ask him! We had a double (triple?) wedding, and we made out and everything. He's all mine, Ki Ki! You'll just have to accept it.

Sure!

It seems we need some drunks to crash the party... :D What says party better than crazy antics from a smashed, raving mind?

NOOO. The HORROR! THE HORROR!!!1132!!

Psy you evil two-timing door knob!!! How could you?? ;___;

*gloat* n_n

...but I'll let you go with him if you want. We have an open relationship!

chaos: Yay, we all have dates now ^__^

Rubedo: Now for what we need to bring...

Seeing as I know no-one on here outside of casual chats, I'll go as a swinging bachaelor. Then I'll have my pick of all the fine unchaperoned ladies. :p

Now to see if I have everything...spiffy tux, check...stylish hair, check...motel key, check....Roofies, check... :)

It doesn't matter who gets Psy, cuz we'll just end up going to some secluded area to give eachother lap dances. :eek: Oh, uh.... We'll just drink soda together.

Does this mean I have a date or not? :greenie:

I think we should hold the partay at Habbo Hotel, for old time's sake.

I agree!

If I knew what it was I might consider it. Provide a link?

Quote:

Me too. BUT DO I HAVE A DATE YET? :cool:

Ask Kiki! If she decided she won't go for a married man, then you can come with Rowell and I, and we can make sweet sweet love.

Ki Ki is your date, but, like we always do, we're gonna sneak off into a different room to spend some quality time together. :)

Psy is a two-timer. I shall not go out with thee. >:{ And a hiss to you. ):<

Oh that's good, it frees me up to go with Meat Puppet.

Meat Puppet is dead.





Don't look at me. I didn't kill him. It wasn't ME.

Awwww! Someone has a crush on my Psydog! n_n <3Ki Ki

If I let you have the wallet I stole from his corpse, will you go to the Christmas party with me?

It's true. ;-;

You should go to the Christmas Party together! It'd be so cute. And then maybe he could use you and lead you on and things!

I'm going to murder him with a chicken.
And steal his eyebrows 'cause he doesn't deserve those....yea.

Threads with plots to murder me are usually the coolest ones.

And I bet you pride yourself in being a part of it, don't you? >=O

Hmm...I'm thinkin` single's the best way to go. Or I can try to leech off other's dates, when the time comes.....:D


:D

Oh, and Undeadhero, the link is http://www.habbohotel.com.

That's what I thought it was. Works for me as long as it's okay with everyone. How does 7 pm Central time sound?

This Monday, right? Why not on Christmas Eve? Or on the 23rd?

I figured people would be spending time with thier real families or be away from home and stuff. I wanted the most participation out of it.

Meh, that's true... Bump it up to 8?

This is a tough one. I think I'll leave Psy to go with Denmark, otherwise old peanut gums would be depressed and lonely. Or anybody else, I am just using this as an excuse to use Psy's name in my post.

So I have two more choices.

I think I will ask Meat Puppet to go with me. Meat Puppet, do you accept?

Yes. Yes, I do.

Are you talking to yourself, Bigboy? That's so CUTE.

Well, just to prove that meat_puppet_ISN'T_gay, I whole heartedly accept your offer.

8 it is for now unless someone can't make it and can find a reasonable time change.

What the crap do we do for this thing anyway?

DITTO! Actuallly.... *ponders*

Anywho, Habbo doesnt like me....

What in Martha's name is Habbo?

Meat Puppet, you're dead stupid.

Undereducated. That's what questions are for. :spin:

Dead questions!

I tried doing Habbo Hotel but it would never work. Oh well. :)

:( I can't install stuff 'cause this isn't my computer...

I could understand this thing taking place in a cheap motel.

Somebody please explain junk to me. I'm stupid.

By junk, I mean the topic at hand.

It's a dating thread in disguise. As Santa Claus!

I know you love me.

Yes and Yes...

and what?

Somebody planned to kill me once, they promised they would, I said
"Ok then, a good way to get rid of a body is to dip it in acid"

=Angelus=, calm down, I'm a useless sig maker and the party isn't really really real!

*sells condoms for $4.99*

I tried doing Habbo Hotel but it would never work. ;-;

Great that you accepted Star! ^^ ...shame neither of us can use habbo ;-;

Maybe we should hold it in a more popular chat program?

I WANNA GO WITH thatfreakingweirdo CZECHY POO! :love:

LET'S DANCE! *hides mace*

oh, to all the people who said Psy was going with them: I asked first :'(

The party can still be here of course and the ones that can use hotel, the more the better.

I'm registering at habbo hotel for some reason XD what should my mission be?

edit: nm I made it...XD it looks funny.

Ask me and secure a place in heaven :)

Habbo Hotel is better than a chat program as everyone is represented by little people and you can dance and eat babies on it!

*nods* Little people are good. Cos' if it were in a chat program, it would just be a chat ^_-

and chats are REALLY confusing when there are a lot of people talking at once. although I may forget to attend this Christmas Party thing, I may remember! If I forget, and Psy is in HH alone, he belongs to...whoever gets him first! ^_^

AIM= evil anyway!

I just joined habbo hotel but I noticed it has american english and canadian versions.. will this matter?

Nah, we'd just go on habbohotel.com

Dude. I just noticed your sig, Psy. -bangs on his box- OH! That's so perverted if ya put it in THAT context.

This upcoming Monday right? -pose- Who's taking me!?!?!?!
