Thumbing through the book, while eyeing to each side of myself, I don't really notice any socializing at the moment, when suddenly...

"Hello." The words rang through my ears like a musical sort of chime.

Nearly jumping out of my skin, I jerk my head up, showing, hopefully, only a hint of surprise. Standing before me was the young woman of whom whose conversation I was just listening in on. A momentary dread washes over me as the thought of her come to accuse me of such things, when I realize that she wears a delicate smile upon her face, with no hint of scorn.

"Why hello, my dear." I state confidently after a second to regain my composure. Snapping the bacony book shut, with an audible "click", i carefully set it back in the pew ahead of me.

"It's nice to see a pleasant face such as yours in what seems to be my back end of the church here!" I state as I motion towards the empty back row I have been precariously lounging on.

"Might I have the pleasure of your name?" I state with a smile, hiding the fact that I need to name.

I lounged there in the back row, taking in the beauty of the church, combined with that delicious smell. Bacon. I couldn't believe it. The sights and sounds of the church were pleasing to every sense. Determinedly, I made the decision that I would stay here for as long as possible, despite not being an intended guest. Hopefully no one would notice. So far I had evaded notice, and haven't had anyone cast so much as a questioning glance towards me, and no one has approached for conversation. I was basically in the clear. I smirk to myself as I notice more guests arriving, each taking their place, paying no mind to other guests, and knew if things kept going this way, I would be fine.

After a few moments of carefree basking in the church's splendor, I notice a girl a few rows in front of me, firstRainbowRose, close her book with barely a sound, get up, and make her way to the man a few rows in front of me. After reaching him, she attempts to strike up conversation.

Hopefully she's friends with this bloke, and not making random conversation, I remarked to myself. I don't want my charade to be uncovered so quickly.

However, this does provide the exact opportunity I was looking for originally. Uncovering today's purpose. Withdrawing the bible on the pew backing in front of me, which to my surprise was bound in that most glorious of cured meats, I tried to appear nonchalant, as I listen in to the conversation....

I got this game recentley after playing the demo for a couple weeks. Anyone else play it? This game is incredibly sweet. It's basically a zombie apocalypse, with runner zombies like from 28 days/weeks later. The game focuses on cooperative gameplay, there's always 4 survivors (even if some have to be NPCs) and there are various things you have to do that involve teamwork. I recommend getting it for PC as it is an FPS, but it's also on the 360.

My gamer tag for ye olde 360 is (wait for it!) Eerongal.

I don't have any of the games you mentioned, but feel free to add me just in case we sometimes have games in common or something. I plan on getting GoW 2 at some point and time. Also worth noting, other people use my gamer ID to play online too, not just myself, as I'm the only one not cheap enough to NOT pay for a gold membership among some of the people i know.

Zane would be out of his league with an opponent who also has Atium.

honestly, i agree with that fully. It's not that he was unskilled or weak, it's just that he relied on it way too much. He always seemed to make sure he was the only one with atium in any situation, and pretty much burned it non-stop.

I work as a software engineer, and while I love programming in general, but have come to find i HATE office jobs.

Why, you ask?
1) I have to get up early everyday at the same time (6 AM; Waking earlier than 10 is a big no-no to me.)
2) Offices = BORING
3) I work at a small company. As such, we dont have any customer service, so customers call us directly with problems. I hate customers.
4) Rush hour. I hate taking an hour to get somewhere it takes me 20 minutes or so at others times on the way in AND back.

But other than that, i love developing, tweaking, upgrading, and even bug hunting software.

So in short, if work was across the street from my house, needed me in at 10, didn't have customers calling me, and allowed me to watch TV while I work, i would be the proverbial fat and happy.

not to sound racist or anything (i don't mean it in that way at all), but i have a feeling that obama is going to have the highest chance of being assassinated of any president we've had in a long time, because, of course, the fact that he is african-american.

That being said, I didn't really care who won, obama or mccain, no matter who would have won, it would have been better than the current. IMO both candidates were quite intelligent and well spoken, but I think Obama will have more benefits to the common man than Mccain overall, but for the most part life will pretty well remain the same under either.
