When the oceans rise - General Chat Thread

I just went about a week of not being online at all, it was different, I was on vacation in the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee and had fun shopping, playing arcades, walking around, theme park type rides, sight seeing,even ice skating which is something I never do. And a week of not being online made my IM typing turn to shit. Oh well I'm back.

The reason Americans don't have a more standard name for their people as a whole is that their country is made up of smaller states which formed a union. Ergo, United States. If you want to know the national name for an American, ask him what state he's from. Maybe he'll be a Dakotan, or a Virginian, or even Hawaiian.

And America isn't a continent. It's TWO continents.

^Hence why Tennessee is in my location and not USA.

Nice, welcome back! The Smoky Mountains are really nice, maybe I'll go someday .

^It's fun, the mountains actually look a lot like the Ulver-Bergtatt cover, with trees all over them and there's a lot of smoke surrounding them in the morning right when the sun comes up.

 

[Defiance]

Yeah, there are some mountains here that are "similar" , Braulio Carrillo for example:

Nice...we have lovely Rainforesty stuff too, in Queensland (tropical) and Tasmania (more Northern-hemisphere type)

 

[Defiance]

^ I can imagine, but well it'd be better if you post some pics .

 

[lordcthulhu]

Boo! Those are in different states! I can't be arsed finding 5+ y.o. happy snaps of family trips there, so googling "Daintree rainforest" for Queensland and Huon pine forest for Tasmania, and you'll get a good picture

Btw, my room has an OK forest view, I'll take a pic when it's nice and sunny.

 

[Defiance]

Wow it's just like CR, very nice .

 

[Doomtroll]

WIN
I went to Bloodstock Open Air (just this minute got back)
There was a guy camping near me wearing a Borknagar t-shirt so I went to speak to him.
He asked "Are you Caitlin? Asgeir's friend?". Apparently I am well known thanks to my band member stalking.

 

[Defiance]

^ Har har .

So, how was it? Pics pics!

 

[Rivfadír]

Hehe, my god Cait. You're an E-celeb!

 

[Doomtroll]

It's funny because it's true. I'm having trouble attending concerts or festivals without someone recognising me.
I had a good 4 people ask me if I was Caitlin during this festival, and overall I just kept bumping into people and getting a fuck load of hellos and free drinks.



I bought myself an Ihsahn jacket and Ulver t-shirt from Plastichead's store finally! So glad they had one there.
The Ihsahn' jacket is soooooooo soft and comfortable, just a shame it ripped on the day I bought it, ha!


Also not got many photos, my camera has broken and I've lost everything I took.

 

[Defiance]

^ Ahh buuu that's too bad .

 

[~Derek~]

At Cait: What Borknagar t-shirt was the man wearing?
And what Ulver t-shirt and Ihsahn jacket did you get? I'd like to get an Ulver t-shirt with the old black metal logo but those are usually old/used/hard to find.

 

[Doomtroll]

He was wearing a Quintessence shirt.
I bought a red Blood Inside t-shirt
and an Ihsahn - AngL jacket, the one that has Maria's design on it.



I saw at least 2 other people with Borknagar t-shirts, and 3 others with Solefald (including my lovely Robbie <3 )

 

[Azzor1911]

One of the new Solefald shirts, or the extremely old one with The Linear Scaffold artwork?
When I once wore mine at a Mayhem concert, a guy was willing to pay 100 euros for it Since then I've kept it safe in my closet, for my and its own safety, hehe.

 

[Doomtroll]

Red for Fire and Black for death.
We all had different ones too, it was amusing.

I had the girly red for fire tee.
Robbie had the male red for fire.
Some guy had a red for fire longsleeve
and then some sound tech guy had a black for death hoody

^ "Solefald Geek Club" Official Meeting or something huh?
