    Default Long, long ago

    I've just been trekking through the memberlist, usernoting people who will never see the things. I'm not sure why I did it, maybe I thought messaging former staff would help me in the CK contest but that's just crazy.

    Which brings me to the topic - what time consuming things have you done that were entirely pointless?

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I do that a lot. But, I think it's interesting, so it's not entirely pointless I guess?

    I was making integrals earlier and solving them.
    I guess it's not pointless because they are good practice, but I don't foresee using trig substitution much in the future.

    I was going to say various EoFF statistics, but that would be too obvious a joke because EoFF statistics are the most important things to mankind's existence.

    Being alive.
    The messenger is standing at the gate
    Ready to let go
    Ready for the crush
    Too late for whispers
    Too late for the blush
    The past is mercy
    When the future is aglow

    <a href="http://forums.eyesonff.com/final-fantasy-iv/125448-oasis-village.html">Pixels</a>. Only <i>some</i> of them (<i>most</i> of them) are pointless, though.

    Fighting Lenneth in Star Ocean 3. About fifteen minutes in she decided to unload three Nibilung Valesti into my ass. Everyone died.

    Went back to my other file going through Mosel Ruins. Fighting the Ameba Giant, after getting lost and getting some money and xp, he kills us by punching everybody again and again and again. I don't wanna play that game anymore.

    Made LOTS of tiny airplanes when I was younger. Each of these planes hat one attribute each but they were all from various groups. There were dinosaur themed planes, elemental themed planes, final fantasy attack themed planes and they all were either good or bad (depending on if they had blue or red tinted windows) :3.

    I'm sure most of you are familiar with l0lcats, right? Whoever did the l0lcats version of the bible would beat the hell out of everyone here.

    P.S. When I say "l0lcats" I mean lolcats (lawlcats)
