Creepy, creaky houses have never bothered me.

oh god i just love scary stuff...

*story time lol*

one time when i was about 13 i went to a somewhat haunted church that was freaking huge... had 3stories and 2 below ground rooms... this thing went deep... So as i was walking around this Church with my friends that was suposed to be haunted, we fuond something that scared the crap out of us... we found a room with falling things in there... and then someone said "who touched me?" he was by the door and the closest person near him was 30 feat away... well we didnt leave after that so we all went into the attic and we found a hella lot of bats... oh my god that scared the crap out of me because one of them damn bats bit me... well personally i like bats so i didnt hit it off my neck (yes it bit my neck) i just tried to pry open its mouth... well because we got really scared after that we went back home after i went to the doctors because i got bit... (testing for rabies) well i didnt have any but that mark felt funny for years and it still does... i wonder if that what makes me crave blood every once and a while lol...

ok story over. i found $5 in that church.. but the testing cost a little more than $5 bucks.

I used to live in a creepy house that still haunts my dreams from time to time as a symbol of foreboding, though the house itself was knocked down for a bypass (well.. highway expansion ;) ).

Creepy works for me for as long as I can stand it. ;) Otherwise, I just like old buildings. I like to touch the walls and imagine what had happened there long before, when the building was still active.

Are you guys familiar with http://www.opacity.us/ ? Urban exploration site, if you like creepy old places, you'll find thousands of photos to stir your imagination. :)

Which one? The old or the new one?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 15 Feb 2007 Posts: 4668

I was refering to the new one but I think it applies to both.

Rank: Mr. Fabulous Joined: 08 Mar 2008 Posts: 367

I was a bit scared about the new movie 'cause I watched the old one (I think it was produced by the BBC) and read the book. Fortunately the new version was a lot better than I expected, especially the Planet Factory Smile

(and the creature that slapped everyone who had an idea was just hilarious XD )

I've only seen the new movie and read the books. Unlike other book-to-movies, it doesn't actually matter much to me that the movie strays away from the book. It stands on its own.

I still don't really want to make a new thread just for myself, although I guess the title is getting a bit old now, heh! I come and go pretty often due to my hectic work schedule but it has been a while since I've had much to say.

This time, though, I'm actually on vacation (well, almost.. unpaid time off due to a company shutdown...), so like my character often did, I've hopped across the pond and visited Europe. I spent three outstanding days in Paris (since BonBon wasn't available in RL Wink

), and I'm spending the last few just outside Zurich.

I've never been to Paris before, and it was awesome. I dunno to bore you gentlefurs with the details, which already got one "TL:DR", but if you'd like to see you can hit my blog from the link below and check the last two entries. Only thing that might have made it better would have been a lady to share it with. Wink

Pictures coming when I get a chance to sort and format them... probably this weekend.

"company shutdown"... does that mean your out of a job now Sad

i believe i want to paris when i was younger(or maybe it was london, it was so long ago and i was so young that i cant recall...)
ah well, neither vacation can top the trip i made to egypt Cool

I have always longed for a trip into Europe. Unfortunately, all my travel has been land-locked within the U.S.

A tempting offer, but it would be too hard to arrange, not to mention costly. I appreciate the offer, though.

Jeez, Henk, must you insist on soliciting every member of the forum in here?

I suppose I shouldn't be scolding you for being yourself, but still...

Paris and Zurich? Sounds like you're having fun on your mandatory vacation, at least. Always wanted to try seeing Spain myself. Hablo espanol y me gusta la historia de Espana. Muy interesante. Razz

I'd actually want to visit a lot of places, being an avid student of history and a bit of architecture. Italy and it's capital probably tops my list, of course.

Of the places I want to travel, Italy probably tops the chart.

Seeing the grand coliseum in Rome has been a dream of mine for some time.

Hehe.. no worries, Henk, no worries. I'm home now, finally, rested, and I get a whole two days before I (metaphorically) set sail again, back to California.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 06 Feb 2007 Posts: 648

Still on the road of course.. always nice to be missed a bit, especially by one as sweet as Mystic Wink

Still.. it makes it tough to keep up. I saw another reference to the Zone animation, are we paying for that yet?

Otherwise.. another week in California, get to go home for a week, then work has a second forced week-long shutdown, during which I'll be off to the Mother Country of Canada Wink

After that... I /think/ I get to stay home a bit. Wink
