So have you done something special this summer?

I've been to Italy for two weeks. The first impression I got was that no one cared about the trafic rules, they parked everywhere where they shouldn't and they drove like mad.
Though I never really been to any "big" cities in my life so I don't know if it's the same in other contries :)

The girls all looked like they had anorexia and I bet fashion was the only thing on their mind, though there's girls who doesn't know what to value everywhere but I never seen this many at the same time! No offense to the girls, I had a really good time.

When I was to Rome I were at the Colloseum and I pretty much like history so I really liked being there and seeing everything. And the feeling I got when I walked over an over 3000 year old bridge was really cool. I also went to fontana di trevi and threw a coin over my left shoulder, there were really nice sculptures and other things there. The last thing I visited there was the Vatican State (spelling?) and walked into the St. Peters Church (I think that's the right name) and it was also really nice.

So I had a really nice summer, this was my first trip to another country (Finland Norway or Denmark doesn't count! :P) so this was a mighty experiance I got. I'm probably going there again, we lived at riva del sole who lies 20 miles from Rome and we only were in Rome one day and you probably need 1 week to be able to see everything.

I also visited the Island of Elba.

I was mostly lying on the beach sunbathing and enjoying life to the max.

Oh, and the food was great, especially the pasta!


After being there I wanted to stay there forever haha, I don't wanna live in this hole anymore =P

As some of your already know I went on my Eurotrip with a friend for 25 days. Rome was one stop on the trip, we stayed there for 4 days and yes the traffic is crazy and I can assure you it's nothing like any other European country I've seen. I saw 2 scooter accidents during my stay there, lucky no one got hurt. They parked their cars in the middle of the crossings and they double park everywhere. Crazy country. Me and my friend ended up in a hostel run by nuns, we had a crusifix hanging on the wall which was quite scary since we are from a not that religious country. We still stayed all nights at this hostel and found some really nice people at another hostel downstairs heh, Rome was FILLED with Americans and Canadians.

We didn't see that much in Rome, sure we went to the Colloseum (10 minute walk from the hostel) but other than that we just saw some fountains and stuff. It's funny though because they have a monument, a fountain or a statue at every street. And when you are walking home in the middle of the night from a pubcrawl the whole town is lit up with spotlights and it's all very beautiful.

Rome was definitely one of my favourite destinations on this trip. Prague and Vienna was also very very nice.

I went out with the girl of my dreams, thought she doesn't think she's anything special.
Women are still very complex, we shall NEVAR understand them!
A cat is fine, too.

Speak for yourself. If you're smart, you'll realize a lot of women (especially in America) have unhealthy self-images. I mean, it is the subject of many a joke, pickup line, and psychology study.

A good way to make her smile is to get her to see how you see her. It is flattery, but it also communicates how different the outside view of her is compared to what she sees. I guarantee she'll like it, and probably like you more.

(also, a great source of fallacy in trying to figure out women is comparing them to men. It's like apples and eggs. They are driven by TOTALLY different things. For instance, do you realize most women don't think about sex more than once a day on average? Think about how women interact with each other, and how men interact with each other. That should also reveal a lot.)

Yes, I've known that.
I emphasize that, too.
She is also very different from standard members of the opposite sex, but I love her anyway.
And Frika, I was trying to make a joke, you know? If you can understand women, you're lying.

Cost me 350 USD. Have to be 18 in Illinois, so my dad bought it, but it's going into my possession next year. A 3 day waiting period, which was nothing since the gun took about that long to ship.
It's great, I suggest buying one yourself.

I assume its semiauto... dunno if you can purchase a full without going through a lot of paperwork.

Nice looking AK-47.

And I have a question for someone who knows: are silencers legal in the U.S.?

hmmmm probably not

Romanian I do believe.

Silencers are usually illegal unless you have a Class III permit, which is a huge hassle. Of course, if you like paying taxes, you won't have a problem.
