    What's the point of attacking XBLive? Ruin the fun for everybody? Prove that these guys are so pro? Epen?

    There are much more important things to do rather than shutting down a service people pay for.

    Pff, cunts...

    I always go to my grandmas house for a family thing on Christmas Eve, and then just open gifts and stuff with my immediate family, and then see my girlfriend later that day. So that definitely keeps me busy for a while.

    I'm hoping to get a SSD for my computer, as well as a Blue Yeti mic and a Corsair K70. Also gonna spend a ton of money on Steam....

    Christmas is always a great time and I seriously can't wait to get out of school for a while.

    Got my stepdad a kickass bowie knife. Damascus steel, camel bone handle. Can't wait to give it to him. Got my mother, ever the magpie, this really huge bismuth crystal. This year it's shiny metal things all round :D

    but yeah, arguably this kinife has stolen the show. I want it, but I could never justify buying myself something this awesome. However my stepdad is also a knife enthusiast... who is forever eyeing up beautiful knives but never buys himself one.

    I'm not looking forward to christmas break, really.
    At all.
    New semester in January means all new classes. That means all new rooms. All new teachers. All new lunchgroups.
    I don't like change.

    My brother is a custom knife maker trying to get on his feet. That knife looks a lot like the stuff be builds. Hasn't got the facilities to do Damascus like that but his
    handle work is top notch.

    Yeah, I normally don't like the change of classes either, but next semester is all blow off classes. Plus most of my teachers I have had before and are awesome, so that'll be fun.

    I had all my blow off classes this semester. :|
    I actually only had 1 real class this semester, but it was really hard. AP Human Geography. Currently desperately trying to bring my grade up another .4 points so I'll pass. My other 3 classes were all bullshit. Not a difficulty at all passing.
    Next I have english, algebra, biology, and theatre. None of them are especially hard, from what I've heard, but they certainly aren't blow off classes.
    It's gotta be kinda sad to enter your last semester of high school, though. Is it? I can certainly understand why you would want out of the place, but you're embarking on a whole new period of your life.
    Aaannnd I just remembered I have to do that project for Business. At 11 o'clock. Literally in the middle of typing this post.
    Welp.
    I guess I should get to work.

    I'm EXCITED FOR NEXT FRIKKEN SEMESTER! I move on from geometry and chemestry (preAP so it was a 1 semester course) to something else. Either double english or english and history depending. Also drivers ed. :D
    That was me last year. AP human was meh. I think I ended up with an 78 or something. I'm in danger of failing both my academic classes this semester because I've been absent 1 1/2 months. Might take summer school. :\
    I had a project for career path last night. Was up to like 1:40. Then I had to take a makeup test today 1 hour early. Now I have 1 hour of video to watch and take notes on and a test to study for. And it's already 10:30. :(

    Christmas-wise I'm hoping for a pair of G930s and a new monitor. Mostly a monitor, though the g930s look nice.

    I had to fill out a focus plan of study form and submit it to the website.
    Blew it off.
    What the fuck ever. What are they gonna do about it? Fail me in advisory?
    I don't want to think about that right now, anyway. I mean shit, I'm only halfway through freshman year.

    You can prepare Damascus yourself. Takes some skill with the forge though. Easiest with a large gas burner type forge and a power hammer. Can be done with a coal forge, hammer and anvil but going to take ninja skills to succeed, although that is how it would be been done originally.

    This is the difference between PSN players and Xbox Live players. The PSN ones are smart, and went to hack to actually get profit and steal, well the XBL ones just want to ruin it!

    Also....

    Ummm, I am dead serious, what are lunchgroups? I am Australian, school is a tonne different, eg: cafeteria isn't the same. AUS: You go up to it, buy food, bring it back to school, or you bring a packed lunch. USA: everyone goes there, it gets slapped on a tray, then you are told to move on, for free.


    OT:

    I don't expect to get anything for Christmas. I am going to see if I can sneak out of the house to get my family presents. If I was going to get anything for Christmas, I would want it to be a small build your own combustion engine kit. Not an Xbox.

    What type are you looking at? Brand?
    I had a 16 string Gibson mocking bird, Then I sold it for $800. Used most of that money to buy a stratocaster...

    Dosnt cost that much, $50 for a fender body( squire)
    $60 for high quality bare knuckle pickups -Best on the market in my opinion
    $10 wiring including 3 phase toggle switch and 2x tone and volume controls
    $11 Input jack -Planet waves- High quality
    $20 Light grade nanoweb strings, Same stuff I use on my strat- Great quality
    $4 pack of tuning/machine heads
    $1 graphite or bone neck nut- I use graphite lasts longer.
    $20 rosewood fingerboard neck with pearl inlays
    $1 scratch board
    $16 stainless steel bridge with whammy bar
    Thats about it, It's great fun building your own guitar and you get a understanding of how to fix it if anything were to happen.

    May sound expensive but if you think so you can buy my strat for $4,000(really cheap)
