To all the Christians on the board, I'd like to say Happy Easter, even though it seems a bit late. I dunno, I get the feeling no one announced it before in fear of offending someone. I, of course, do not fear offending anyone

I went to church, had dinner with the extended family(a delicious ham dinner, mind you) and got an Easter basket for some reason. How was everyone else's Easter?

I worked on an archetype (whatever the hell you spell it) for my Design class, drank beer, ate a ham & cheese sandwhich, drank beer, and drank a little more beer. Not surprisingly, I got an "A" on the assignment (which was due today).

Also not surprisingly, I was late for class. ::shrug::

My Mom & Dad went to my grandmother's home in Scranton. My sis couldn't get away from her school, and I couldn't afford to miss class today, so I opted out. Don't really care for the whole part about going to church (not as if I'd have an option with Grand'ma), but it woulda been nice to see the cousins.

I had dinner with my close family(mom, dad, sister) and then we watched lots of TV.

I, unfortunately, missed church due to my new sleeping pills working TOO well and causing me to sleep through my alarm. However, I still made the most of the day, and randomly I ended up taking a trip to Seattle..... just an evening thing.... *grin* 15 hours, round trip... it was the most fun I've had in FOREVER

You had school today? Don't you have holidays over Easter (end of term holidays or something)?

Actually, since both Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays here in the UK, there wouldn't be any school even if their wasn't a holiday. All the working types get a 4 day weekend though, which is nice.

Stiill, I'd love to meet someone who would be offended by someone saying "Happy Easter".

Last year, my father died due to rotten egg poisoning. He had eaten an egg that hadn't been found for three years. I am offend. Greatly.

No, Spring Break was a few weeks ago. Kinda stupid to have Spring Break three weeks before class gets out, donchaknow.

Posted by MC Infinity (Member # 531) on :

Are you serious? That is so sad, I can't beleive something like that could happen on a holiday.

What? Having school the next day? It's not that big of a thing. 'sides, as I'm so fond of pointing out ... I don't worship, so no loss

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

True. Well, over here, the Easter holidays are two weeks, and are between the Spring and Summer terms. The kids don't break up for summer until July.

Now, for us lucky uni students, I've got another two weeks off. Then I go back for one week of lectures, two weeks of exams, and then three weeks before I get kicked out of halls, where I shall get very, very, very, very drunk. Possibly drunk enough to actually join in a game of football. We'll have to see.

Why can't you guys call it "soccer" like the rest of the civilized world ... ?

Posted by MC Infinity (Member # 531) on :

I'm gonna let you go on that one, because there is a chance you could be joking, but if you weren't please remind me to flame you.

Joey Ramone died on Easter. Most of us are still waiting for him to come back.

Fuck Easter. I've finals in two weeks, and like a genius I went home on Holy Thursday - came back yesterday without having done a stroke of study.

Ah. Back in da hood.

Yes, Infinity, I was joking. Although for a moment I always catch myself picturing a bunch of Brits tossing the ole' "pig-skin" about and tackling each other.

Frankly, I've never understood why our football was called football. It rarely comes in contact with the foot. It should be Beat the shit out of each other ball.

So you imagine rugby then?

Which makes as little sense, since there are no rugs involved. (Yes, I know it's a city and a school.)

We need a new name for it, so everyone can call it the same thing. I vote for "silly-billy-wickle-wag-ball".
