I do not mind being the fool as long as I gain something from it. Quick googling provides me with no quick answers and I am watching the Republican Debate at the same time. So if you would please beat some information into this fool's head.

Mocking aside, I don't know why you are surprised at how ignorant I am about the military. I know a total of two guys joining the military, one I never talk to. Previous posts with MRD have shown that I have close to zero knowledge about how military life is or what programs the military has. ROTC until I wiki'd it just now, was just a bunch of letters to me. Never knew anyone in it.

Well...... at least you have your answer. I have mentioned ROTC more than a few times.

Your recent posts page only went back to 35 posts ago and i saw nothing. I should have put in the time to just ctrl-f your name on frontroom threads.

EDIT: I am a bad stalker. Never took the time to constantly watch and read the myspace profiles of girls I had a crush on either.

So you play club Rugby... Are you going to follow any of the Rugby World Cup this year?

Disregard all of mine and Cent's previous posts, we shared facebooks and now know everything about each other.

Let me clear this up. Using absolutely nothing besides forum posts I discovered who ACIN was in RL.

The FBI needs me.

This is a lie. He lurked my twitter and my many, many twitter followers in order to find out who I am.

It took ten minutes. tops.

and if many means as many fingers and toes you have? then yes i suppose

Kiwis are New Zealanders and it is the nick name for he Rugby League team... The union team is The All Blacks

I don't know the rugby scene internationally that well. By kiwi i simply meant new zealander i just thought that was a common moniker for residents of the country itself.

To Hax:

Congrats on moving out.

You and your friend will likely hate each other in about 6 weeks.

The big reason will be food and cleaning the kitchen. But maybe you will work it out.

Do you plan on going home often, so your mom can do your laundry?

I am sure this will be a great learning experience.

Good luck Hax! Try not to get too homesick! :)

It is, but the funny thing it's also used for the Rugby League team... not the Rugby Union Team who are known as the All Blacks... and I hope they win... they've choked in the World Cup more then well the rating on this thread isn't high enough for that description.

PS I'm a West Islander ie a person with dual Australian/New Zealand citizenship.

[Fisherking]

Does anyone remember their first room mate?

Did you;

a) move out

b) dump a corps in the river

c) burn the place down

d) get him/her to move out or committed to the loony bin.

[Peasant Phill]

You forgot

e) had a shameful night of passion with after a night of to much Tequila after wich the both of you couldn't be in the same room without ackward sexual tension

My roommate's a girl though. Wouldn't be that bad. Still, the guilt of cheating on my girlfriend would probably kill me, so yeah.

Actually, I want to get my own washing machine so I can do my own laundry. My roommate's house is not that far away, so she'll probably be going home more often.

That, and I'll probably be spending as much time as possible at my girlfriend's place in Maastricht.


In other news, I don't think I've ever posted any thread that attracted that much attention. I guess I owe it all to the ever-nagging married couple ACIN and Centurion.

Actually I was speaking from experience (and it was a girl). It starts to get awkward when she starts to get playful and clearly targets certain body parts without uhm permission.

ACIN, what Cent is talking about is a deal with the army you can make that by doing ROTC and pledging army service you can get a full scholarship to that college. Thats the deal he is doing now at his university. Of course you also can serve first then go to college on the GI Bill but Cent's option is also open.

Anyhow, my parents are making me move out of the house after I get back from my gap year. Well, they said I need to find a job first that can pay for an apartment. Which makes me happy because frankly Im tired of their BS.

Kiwis over there will be insanely hard to beat, the whole country will be doing the Haka. Unfortunately they are hot favourites, but knowing us we tend to lift for one game every world cup and it's normally against the Kiwis. Also I got tickets to the Aus v USA game , hopefully I'll load up some photos come closer to the date.

EDIT: Also, congratulations Hax! Personally I am bleeding out staying at home as long as possible . Free food and no bills (except vehicle and phone)! I'll ride my luck as long as possible!

[Tellos Athenaios]

wait hahaha i just looked at the link leiden is so itty bitty. That's a city?

So it is. But then again, in the Netherlands the distinction between city, town and village is all a bit blurred. For instance, The Hague, is not a city in the traditional sense of having city rights, it is in the sense that it is relatively large settlement; then again in Dutch there is no true distinction in size anyway: something is a hamlet, village or a city. Conversely, what in the USA typically passes for “town” based on size would here be called a village.

[Tellos Athenaios]

So, you guys got any advice on how to survive in the big city, without mommy or daddy being able to help out when you're in trouble?

Yes. Do not lose your ability to speak proper Dutch.

[Hax]

Yes. Do not lose your ability to speak proper Dutch.

Hah! I speak with a light Gooisch accent, I think I'll survive Leiden.

[Peasant Phill]

... in the Netherlands the distinction between city, town and village is all a bit blurred...

It's actually historical. A village or village has to be given the right to call itself a city. It has nothing to do with size though most historical cities are the larger 'towns' today. I know there is a city in Belgium that has less than 500 inhabitants.

Congrats, boy.

Remember best mates are almost never the best flat/homemates -most times they turn out to be nemesis.

And that all the fuss generally stems from a wide array of bulldaisies ranging from cleaning/washing the dishes to absurd trifles such as some occasional negligence of flushing the toilet.

One needs to learn how to housekeep and that's the best way before getting married (if you ever do, that is).

Thumbrule: It's not your parents' home anymore. If you are picky, move out already. Remember that keeping your cool against problems and tolerating initial several mistakes of your room/home/flat/skyscrapermate and warning calmly if need be leads to a peaceful partnership. This is not to say let them have sex on you while you're planking. You're a smart one, you may decide the balance yourself.

Enjoy the scenery of forgotten tissues around the PC and the grin of your mate.

If utilities and such bills aren't included in the rent make a written agreement as to how they shall be shared and paid for. Saves a lot of misunderstandings when it's written down and signed by all parties. Be aware that whoever's name is on the utility bill is the one on the hook for failure to pay. Living on your own for the first time is a great learning experience. Congrats Hax.
