Yep. Or 3000, as I'm nearly at. But as they say, it's quality, not quantity.

True. I can think of a few people that have well over 1,000 posts, but I can guarantee you that almost none of their posts have over 50 words, or contains proper grammar and punctuation.

But about my 1,000th post, how should I make it special? I'm not going to do what waffles did, he sort of wasted his complaining in the WGYG thread. :lol:
 
Heyyyyy now :P

Got used to my wheel (sort of), hooray! I can now adequately drive the 787B around the 'Ring and only screw up every once in a while.

Finding something to do so I'm not as depressed. Cleaning my room thoroughly really helps. I found a survival knife I had forgotten about because I had to hide it from my mom because my dad got it for me.

:lol: I clean my room, but it ends up messy about a week later, then I have to clean it again, then 3 days later I get angry because I can't find something then mess up my room trying to find it again. Then I clean it again and the cycle repeats.
 
:lol: I find the Mazda 787B and Peugeot 908 easier to drive than the GTR. :irked:

Also I was just annoyed with the clutter so I cleaned it. I also needed some more space for my models.
 
I've got enough credits to graduate, and I might be going to the Pikes Peak hill climb which is on the same day as my birthday, I just need to figure out where to get tickets.
 
What Oils my gears? On another forum I post on, there is the debate on Scottish independence. I viewed the 6 pages or so yesterday afternoon to find a lot of anti Scotland comments posted by English users. I made a simple post stating I was disgusted at the attitude of the forum members causing a mass wave of harassment and negative stereotype comments aimed at me.

Initially, I argued back against it, but it just kept coming, so I decided to take the moral high ground and back out of the conversation. In fact, I didn't visit the forum again until now and found that on my profile, there were numerous messages of support left on my profile page from people from all over the world (and a few fellow Scots too).

Someone had reported the other users to the mods and a few of them have bans now. Just goes to show that there are some nice people on the net outside gtp. 👍

Quality, not quantity. :p Anyway, once you get to a certain point (where I am now) you just stop caring.

Well, after being lectured by the folks over at the Gibson forum for saying I would never sell my favourite guitar no matter the circumstances and after just being appalled in general by the GTA forums and the codemasters forums, it's not looking likely.

I had some of the most elegant, creamy, milky, soft, sweet chocolate the other day. It took me into a special world, full of brown, soothing rivers and caramelised trees.

Drooling over random cars on the internet and wondering if I might ever own one oils my gears. Dunno why, it just does.
