You sure it's not about this computer game? :D

Oh, and I forgot: Congrats tLD. Though with the grades you claim to have, I'm sure it didn't come as a great surprise ;)

"Faculty of Letters" is kind of a strange name, that's what I thought when I first heard of it too... but then again, it has certain charm: it's name is a figure of speech (metonymy) while all the others faculties have bland names like "Academy of Economical Studies" or "Faculty of Law" :-D

(using "s" instead of "ş" is a thing most Romanians do when writing with a keyboard, unfortunately; "ş" is pronounced like English "sh")

AFS?! I think you ate part of an E.

And "Faculty of Letters" sounds better in Romanian. Even if it's named after a maghyar.

I'm back from a short week-end trip to my family in Vestby. Now, don't give me any of that "we didn't even notice you were gone" or "daem, now that we were having so much fun" crap - you can't get by without me and we all know it. ;)

Most likely. At least this time her absence doesn't coincide with the occurrence of a tornado to her home state...

well, i am taking a few days off from work, so i will be a little quiet on the forums for a bit (will pop in from time to time to see that i don't get sniped too often on the million GP auction - looking at you Kalah)

which is probably just as well since i have been going a little crazy on here for the past month or so

back at work on the 9th, in case you miss me

:D

I'm back as well, but just for a little bit. It's hard to stay away, even with finals looming over my shoudlers. Just a good community to be a part of.

Give Courage my regards. :devil:


I don't know if i'll be able to get my bro away from the laptop tommorow (not without a few broken bones for sure), so here it is:

I'll be gone for about a week to take a swim or two in a certain darkly coloured sea. Maybe you guy's will get lucky and i'll drown. Not that i won't come back as a Lich, mind you.
