The only problem about being a brony; I wish that would happen with my parents :( . Which episode you showed them?

The Return of Harmony Part 2 (I would have played part 1 but I think all he wanted to know was "Is my son watching something absolutely diabolical?" :lol:) And I thought that the entire episode was very funny and creative. Which would show how good the show is. He noted that it was different to what it used to be (what every brony refers to as G1, 2 or 3 :lol:). He couldn't help but laugh at the Buffalo Ballerinas and Big Mac digging out of the ground and licking Twilight like a dog. He left the room explaining to my mum, "it's made in a way so that a little kid could watch and think it was cute and silly. But an adult could watch and catch the smart humour and references that the child wouldn't see." Those were his words roughly.

Honestly I'm surprised as to how he took it even at first. He was a little confused but I told him that it was redone by the creator of Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, which he eventually remembered and stated that he thought that it was a really good show.

I find that whole brony thing awkward but that's just me.

Yeah, I was the one saying that once. :sly: Then I tried it.

Big Mac has a crush on Twilight I see.. :P.
 
I know this is of topic but I can't go to the Porsche show because it's going to ****ing rain. :grumpy: It's apparently to much to ask to be able to go and do something I've been looking forward to for months.

Awww... that's a shame.

Is the event still happening? Or has it actually rained and cancelled?

Not even sure. It says it's gonna rain in a few hours and it takes about two hours to drive to where it is. So I guess we're just not going.

Sorry to hear that vaffles. Having a Dr. Pepper at 10am oils my gears.

I always feel really sick with any fizzy drinks in the morning. I can't really drink any soda until past 12ish.

First world problems. Sucks to be me.
 
Seeing my first SLR McLaren!

Even though I didn't get to go to the Porsche show, (:grumpy:) I did see a couple of cool cars. Two E92 M3s, two Austin Minis, an ISF, and my first Audi R8. :D I have a few pictures I'll upload to Flickr if anybody's interested. None of the R8 though. :(
 
My dad told me that we're most likely going to the Monterey Historic Races this year. :D I can post pics from the last time we went if anyone wants to see some.

Awesome! I have only seen this car once. It was actually out in the wild and not in a showroom. Possibly best day of my life lol.

Also what oils my gears is I just made a facebook page for Team Shmo and I have just announced it to people maybe 2min ago and already have 1 like. Wooo lol
 
Saw a Series 3 E-Type Convertible earlier. Also, my parents have just bought a BMW 120d Convertible, which my mum's picking up on Thursday hopefully.
 
Managed to get my Bugatti up to 300.0mph exactly on the speed test in GT5. Used no drafting or tuning help at all. It's a considerable feat for me since I really don't have a clue about tuning. :D

At first I read that as 300km/h and wondered if you were actually serious. :D

Haha.
 
Did my exam yesterday and need only 4/40 to pass the class. Yes I did all the math to figure out my mark lol. I'm pretty sure I will pass and am excited to finally done.

👍 :D

Always remember though: Confidence makes you careless.

lolo totally agree. I went in feeling it's impossible to fail and it was so much harder than I thought. However I could just go in and guess without even reading anything and have a good chance at getting at least 4 right. So I am still pretty confident.

Yep. Logic waits for no one. It's unsympathetic and mean.

Exams are very deceptive things. With my little experience had with them it's usually the stuff your not confident with that you are better with.
Although math is hard it is always fair, unlike geography or English.

Math sucks. English is easy. :sly:

Here in the states, I find all of the subjects to be way too easy. Maybe I see why everyone thinks we are stupid. English is a joke in my school. Really everything is. I don't have to study and I have A's in all my classes. If I were in charge, school would be A TON harder.

Now that I think of it, that is kind of nice that I can easily pass, so in a weird way it oils my gears.
 
After waiting for a week, my remote fob for my new car came through the post. Now I can actually drive the damn thing without the hazard lights flashing...

Same with me. I never study and I pass. Just ever since 1st grade or so, I just don't get math. It's hard for me. And it's ridiculous that a D is passing. :rolleyes:
 
Coming home after work and having my favorite meal and then sitting down and playing some World at War. Except when I get I a game with hackers.
