Texas, Anyone?

[littlefishie]

Anyone from Texas? There's got to be a lot of Jay fans in our wonderful Lone Star State :sweat:

I live in Plano (near Dallas). Where does everyone else live?

[fungi]

hahaha, as u know, i went to san juan, rio grande for my spring break. i think texas is beautiful! and the one thing that totally amazed me was the number of state flags in texas!!! as we were driving down dallas-san antonio-corpus christi i saw a texas flag like every few minutes!! and oh its so cool! there are palm trees in southern most texas!! :D went to the beach at south padre island. nice beach, but looks like the hang out place for old and retired people!! :tongue:

[twink0star]

I live in Houston ...yes hahha lots of flags...PROUD TO BE TEXANS lol

[littlefishie]

Proud, yes... Kinda... Although the Texas pledge of allegiance is utterly retarded... Yeesh...

fungi, come visit me next time. Or you can drop by Boston! :wink2:

[jayx8318x]

lol now that u mention it yeah Texas DOES have a lot of state flags.
I never really thought about it...
How many states out there hang their flags at grocery stores? :glug: I guess only us.

*doesn't know the Texas pledge*

[klarence]

hi fishie, fungi, and karen!

hey fishie, i've been to your city before! I was thinking of the name, and then i read that you said "Plano". It's a really nice city. The houses are so big (and i heard relatively cheap too). My aunt used to live there, in a brick house. lol. I also visited this ranch or something that used to be the setting of a tv show (i think).

Are there lots of asians there? or hispanics?

[littlefishie]

In case anyone wanted to know the Texas pledge...

Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible.

:sweat: They make us say it in school...

Hehe, klarence, Plano is a very nice place, although it's considered a rich town as compared to the cities around it like Richardson and Garland. Hehe, there are a whole lot of Asians and Hispanics. Texas, in general, has a lot of hispanics, and I swear at least half of my school is Asian...

[junnleenfaah]

TEXAS PEOPLE!! aaaggghhhh FINALLY i found some fellow texans (:

twink0star, i'm from houston too!! which area are you in? i'm in the memorial area.. like, five minutes away from memorial city mall. with all the spoiled white kids =/

[allenlikewo]

Hello!

I am from Dallas and i know Plano verry well. However, I have lived in Atlanta for the last year and a half. I am actually back in Dallas right now but will be relocating to Seattle in the next 2 weeks (I CAN'T WAIT!!!).

Now, to give my $0.02 on Dallas....
Dallas has always been known for a very large asian and hispanic population. but no questions asked the hispanics dominate a very very large chunk of our pop.

The most concentrated areas of asian businesses has always been in the suburb of Richardson, however they can be found all over. The Royal & Harry Hinds area is commonly refferred to as K-Town and there are a very large number of korean businesses there. I believe the Beltine & Josey intersection of S. Carrollton is currently in the proccess of turning in to a Little Siagon (if you havent been over there recently, the amount of Viet busienesses has multiplied).

BUT! Despite the number of asian businesses in the area, over the last couple of years Plano has become the hands-down largest area of newly aquired asian residence. Probably due to the value of purchasing propertey in the area and the quilty of the Plano school system (vs. dallas). Specifically Chinese, just about every chinese person I know lives in Plano. And every asian that I know that has moved or purcahsed a house chooses plano.

Oh yea... and in IMHO, Plano is a rich city ( me from the hood )

I do like Houston, probably more than Dallas. If I moved back to Texas to stay I would most likeley move to Houston.

About or flag, people in Texas are pretty crazy about it. Probably due to our history. As many non-Texans do not know, Texas is the only state that is allowed to fly our flag the same height as the US flag. There are also a bunch of nuts here in texas that believe that one day Texas will be it's own republic again.
(If anyone isnt familiar with TX history we have been ruled under 6 diffrent flags (Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, Confederate States of America, United States of America) it is actually quite interesting. I appologize for pointing out he obvious, but if you live near a Six Flags amusement park. that is where they got their name. they started in the Dallas area (six flags over texas, in arlington texas) and then bought like every large park, everywhere)

Any way....
enough blabbing

[junnleenfaah]

allen, you like houston!? there's like.. nothing to do here )= only a few good places to eat at chinatown and galleria is the only good mall [despite what everyone says that memorial city is good too.. its only pretty to look at, lol]

[allenlikewo]

There isnt much to do in Dallas either and just about everything you can do in dallas can be done in houston too. Frankly, there is only so much to do in any city.

At least Houston actually has a Chinatown, Dallas doesnt. Technically Houston has 2. The orginal Chinatown downtown where Kim Son is (mmm....kim son...:drool:) and the more newly developed chinatown on Bellaire Blvd.

But one thing really stands out for me about houston over dallas, the beach is only an hour away. On top of that you are closer to Texas' other cities and to New Orleans.

IMO, I will agree that the weather and traffic in Houston are much worse than dallas, but if you can put up with that then I think Houston is a more entertaining city.

Oh yea...the underground thing downtown is ingenious and AWSOME! and so is the aquirium resturant (cant think of its name) where you are basically sitting underwater.

[junnleenfaah]

the aquarium [sp?] in downtown. yeah.. its been up for a good few years now and i STILL havent been, lol. well the original chinatown is practically non-existant now.. except for a bunch of viet places. and like, the only place i dont mind going to in the now chinatown is star snow ice for boba :9

but the beach.. pft! its ugly water! BROWN! :crazy: i'd definitely prefer a cali beach instead.. haha

[allenlikewo]

I agree about the beach being nasty and anyone in their right mind would prefer a Cali beach. But I have still always enjoyed ocean even if wouldnt consider getting in it.

I actually lived with a viet family for like 4.5 years and the last few times i have went to houston was with them. So naturally, every where we went was viet...so now that I think about it you are right.

Honestly, I am just really sick of Dallas but as I stated earlier I will be in Seattle very soon and I cant wait.

[junnleenfaah]

haha well have fun in seattle (: probably a lot more to do there, i'm guessing [i've never been to dallas, lol]. man.. i wish one day i could move to cali. that would be bliss.

[allenlikewo]

If i could afford to live in Cali right now I would. I left dallas almost 2 years ago and tried to move to Cali but didnt bring enough money. I had no idea that Cali was so damn expensive. Once I started running low on money I called my best friend in Atlanta and moved out there instead.

Though ATL was cool....wasnt really for me, so I am headed back west!

I think Seattle will be cool, plus it isnt far from Vancouver. I understand you can ride the train there pretty easy.
Ultimatly I would like to spend some time in China but for now the west coast will work. If China starts looking too far out of the picture I may start applying for jobs in Cali agian.

[XxSwtDreamerxX]

I work in Plano. Interesting that there is someone so close to where I am.

[junnleenfaah]

awwhh that sucks allen.. well good luck in seattle!! i'm sure there's a lot of opportunity to do more there and hopefully that'll get you to cali or wherever you wanna head to, so best wishes to you for that (:

[gimm3som3cok3]

ooo i'm from houston...so who's from houston here?

[junnleenfaah]

OMG FINALLY.

I'M FROM FREAKING HOUSTON!!

lol, i've been in dire want of finding someone here at jcnet who's a jay fan and lives in houston. what part of our humid city are you in?

[gimm3som3cok3]

[junnleenfaah]

[gimm3som3cok3]

lolz i didn't go 2 bellaire cuz itz soo competitive over there.

[junnleenfaah]

hahaha, smart move =P

memorial's REALLY competitive. it sucks. my friend taht goes to alief taylor is making c's and d's and she's still top 7%. i made like two c's last year and i'm nothing even CLOSE to top quarter.

*grumbles*

[gimm3som3cok3]

[gimm3som3cok3]

[junnleenfaah]

i'm staying too.. i'm pretty scared though. i'm really worried for my sugarland friends cuz i heard it's not as elevated compared to other areas so its more likely to flood

BE SAFE!

[jayx8318x]

I hope you guys will be safe. Some of my relatives left at midnight (!!) and they're still not in Dallas yet, and it's almost 9pm. They're only in Conroe which is normally only an hour drive from where they're at. It's insane

I hear people are just getting outta their cars and PUSHING it to save gas, bc there's no gas left at all.

[junnleenfaah]

yeahh, a whole bunch of cars are stalling and running out of gas. its like massive chaos on the highways. my brother's friend left friendswood [southeast-ish of houston] at 9pm last night and called my brother around 2pm today saying how they were only at mason road which is on i-10, still west of houston. it's freaking crazyyyy

[gimm3som3cok3]

lol evrythin is koool now nuthin realli bad actually happened cus the hurricane moved eastward.

[xiaoting]

oh...wow...hahaha, i never knew there was a texas thread.

W00T! long live texas ^^

i hope no one had to drive 30 hours on the road =3

oh yeah, anyone hear about six flags closing in houston?

[gimm3som3cok3]

[gimm3som3cok3]

[xiaoting]

errr hahah, i know the names!

sigh, yes, houston is already boring as it is. but chinatown's somewhat improving, yeah?

gah! what else is there to do in houston?!

[gimm3som3cok3]

[_mxsh]

Hello! I'm new and I live in Texas. Dallas area, more specifically Coppell. I'm a rather lazy person so I won't commit the effort of searching for any 'Coppell-ians' as it were. But anyways...

I've been a Jay fan for about half a year (my friend Stephen introduced me after watching the movie 'Hidden Track' from HK) and stumbled across this site while searching for Chou's discography. I hope to be a good member of this forum.

Okay... I go to R. L. Turner High School, which isn't as ghetto as everyone makes it out to be. I'm a senior.

Oh yeah, I'm a guy. Just to make that clear.

To all the Juniors that posted a page earlier, yeah, work hard through that year. After that, it's smooooooooooth sailing, hehe.

[junnleenfaah]

welcome to jcnet, _mxsh :wave: senior year is easier? really? all my senior friends are telling me its just as hard..

my school is really really competitive, maybe that's why. bleh.

[_mxsh]

welcome to jcnet, _mxsh :wave: senior year is easier? really? all my senior friends are telling me its just as hard..

Well, I mean, it's always hard to adjust to a new year, but after a while, you get used to it.

Especially if you've worked yourself over for the past 3 years.

For example, this semester I have 2 real classes out of 7.

Next semester... 4. :D

[junnleenfaah]

can you guys believe the semester is almost over already?

3 semesters until graduation for me.. scaryyy

sugar land people! i hear you get only a 1 1/2 weeks for winter break? haha that suuuucks. but at least you get that weekend to study/take a break. for me.. it's final after final after final..

bleh.

but at least i get to go to cali for a week of break :D

[xiaoting]

it IS scary! can you believe that we're actually juniors?!?! and then next year, omg...we'll be seniors!!!! >O i still feel like a fish!

hahah, yeah. here in fort bend isd, we gotta split our finals! dang it. it stinks cuz the whole weekend, you're worried about monday and tuesday's tests! wait a minute....you get two weeks off?!?!?!?!?

[junnleenfaah]

bwahahaha, why yes i do, tiffany (= i was talking with some of my friends who go to clements and s.f austin and they were telling me how they only get 1 1/2 weeks. sucks for yall!! but then again, you guys started school a week later than i did, so i guess it all works out.

did you guys have to do hurricane make up days? we didnt! :D

i tooootally feel ya though, i definitely still feel like as if it was only yesterday when i was a fish. it's so weird.. its hard for me to believe that i'm an upperclassman.

hey btw, do you like going to FBCC? i'm thinking about church hopping for awhile.. fbcc worth visiting?

[sweet_baybee_angiela]

p-town all the way is jay going to have a concert here ANYTIME soon pleaseeee?

[junnleenfaah]

p-town all the way is jay going to have a concert here ANYTIME soon pleaseeee?

p-town as in pearland?

everyone calls their city/town *insert first letter of city*-town.. and it makes it difficult. -_-

but anyway, jay's probably never going to have a concert down south. not enough fans. let alone, not enough asians. at least compared to cali =P but he usually does come here once every two years [or at least that's what he's donw within the past four years]. he already came last year, so he's not coming for 2005, but there may be a chance he'll come in 2006! there's no news or conformation yet, so no one knows. we only cross our fingers that it'll happen (= and IF he does come back to the states, it'll most likely be in cali or vegas and then somewhere on the east coast.

[junnleenfaah]

if who wan jay wall paper or pic u can go http://photobucket.com/albums/c101/roger_cheah/

i dont really know why you're posting that in here.. but a more appropriate place to post your link would be in the jay picture gallery. but most of your pictures are most likely already posted, so you wont really need to bother.


[[edit_010406]]

WOOHOO!! [UT TEXAS LONGHORNS NATIONAL CHAMPS!! 41-38!

[xiaoting]

hey btw, do you like going to FBCC? i'm thinking about church hopping for awhile.. fbcc worth visiting?

haha sureeee...if you really want to =P i dunno if you know anyone there though.

[junnleenfaah]

mm i know some people that went there, but i dunno if they still go. besides, i'm not church hopping to meet new people =P i'm thinking about switching churches, but not sure what church i would like better.

[houyping]

I'm from Dallas, Tx. Too bad there aren't enough fans here asin California or NY to have him stage a concert.:-x

[junnleenfaah]

welcome, houyping! yeah, it's sad that we dont have as many fans down here in texas due to the lack of asian population compared to CA and NY. i blame the heat. stupid heat keeps everybody away. haha jk =P

[dizhotbabiguh]

im from HOUSTON also!! haha mayb we houstonians should think bout having a lil get together one day.

[junnleenfaah]

^too bad there's not enough of us houstonians in here -_- btw, you should really do something about your xanga. when i try to log into it, it always goes to the sign in page. kind of annoying =P

btw, welcome to jcnet!

[dizhotbabiguh]

haha theirs nothing wrong wit my xanga. it's just that you gotta sign in to see my xanga. like if you dont have a xanga account or ddint sign in theen you cant see my xanga. it's protection from stalkers!! anonymous ppl kept goin to my xanga so i put that code in and have a tracker to see who went to my xanga. so i blocked all those anonymous ppl!! hehe

[junnleenfaah]

no, even when i do sign in, when i go back to your page, it directs me to that sign in page.

[dizhotbabiguh]

haha my xanga is retarded. whats your xanga sn? imma visit it!

[junnleenfaah]

you can just click on my username [on the side of my posts] and click "visit junnleenfaah's homepage". but to make it easier, my username is misstila_nguyen. dont ask why i used to tila nguyen's name.. its a long story thats not worth telling. and no, i'm not trying to be a poser =P

[mrfri3drice]

haha im from san antonio. Theres no asians here

[junnleenfaah]

SA is pretty boring, isnt it? i've gone a couple times.. but everytime after the first, it was beyond boring =P once you see the alamo, that's pretty much there is to it [at least for me, haha]. anything else somewhat exciting over there?

i loooove the weather we're having in houston right now (=

[jaychoulover]

YES. Jay Chou fan from Texas. (; born in Taiwan. haha.
I live in Houston.

junnleenfaah, you got FBCC? I go to MSF. (;

[junnleenfaah]

hey jaychoulover, welcome to JCNET! nah, i dont go to FBCC. i go to chinese baptist church =P well.. i'm sorta on a hiatus from there right now. i'm thinking about church hopping for awhile. what's MSF? i dont think i've heard of it before.

what school do you go to? i'm at memorial h.s )=

yeah btw, weather sucks now. so sad.

can you guys believe all the crazyness in houston right now cuz of the all star game!? my mom and i tried going to galleria today but the traffic was SO congested and most of the parking lots were full.. my mom and i just gave up and decided to go home. i wonder if everybody was there in hopes of seeing famous people? cuz remember all the madness when the superbowl was here?

[jaychoulover]

[junnleenfaah]

Yeah. MSF is at FBCC.
Yeah. Christina Yee goes to Dulles. I think I went to your xanga, and saw a picture of you and her. She's my friend's sister. =)

haha yeah, the picture you probably saw is the one of us at BJ's.

[xiaoting]

Aiyah, I haven't been to this thread in a while. Sorry Texans!

Haha, who's this person?! What a small world. I GO TO FBCC! yay! MSF...middle school fellowship. a middle schooler...heh. I'm pretty sure that I'll see or have seen you around jaychoulover.

[junnleenfaah]

haha thanks for finally reviving the texas thread, tiffany. it's so dead in here =P

school's about to end and i'm sssooo eexxccciitteedddd (= but AP exams are next week and then finals.. that, i'm not too excited about. but a week after school is out, i'm leaving for africa for a mission trip! so i definitely have something to look forward to. aaaand i got asked to prom which is next week [strake jesuit prom- the all boys school in chinatown (right next to diho square where star snow ice is), for those houstonians], so i'm really stoked about that too (:

[xiaoting]

haha yeah, prom was last night! it was okay.. it was sorta ehhh because the music sorta sucked. but *shrugs*, it was still pretty cool.

no, CBC's not going to kenya. i think they're going to hong kong again. that's so awesome that your church is going to kenya though! that sounds like TONS of fun. i'll be in the country of zambia [above south africa], but i'm not going with my church. i'm going with this mission organization called "family legacy missions international".

APs were this past week and it suuuucked ): i also had my AP U.S history final exam on thursday too ): this week was pretty bad.. i ALSO got into a car wreck. lol yeah.. bad week.

[ColaPoP]

omg, car crash? Jen you ok? When are you going to Zambia?! *random*

I'm mosey-ing about the site. I'm not Texan in anyway... but I do like things big. Mmmmm ... big things.

Hey XiaoTing! :waves:

[junnleenfaah]

i'm sure you do like things big, pei (; but only us texans can handle big things.. if you know what i mean. (= and yes, car crash. but i'm fine (= the only thing i'm not fine about is that i hafta pay well over $2grand for my car damages.. *sigh* time to start working. and i'm leaving for zambia in a week! i'm stooooked.

[disbkoonsta]

just felt like voicing that i'm a huge jay fan from carrollton, texas. that is all...

[junnleenfaah]

carrollton? how very.. random. but awesome (= welcome! so what's in carrollton? isn't that in like northern texas?

[ColaPoP]

^ $2k in car damages. Mother ^^%3$%. I got a job after car damages too... but nowhere near the amount you're paying. Will u just write the vehicle off?

[junnleenfaah]

yeahh.. $2k.. it sucks. loads. yeah, i'm just writing it off.

zambia to host a camp for orphan kids with AIDS.. feed them, give them new clothes and shoes and then teach them about God. i'm excited to the max (:

[ColaPoP]

That sounds like an amazing experience. If I don't catch ur reply before you go, hope you have a fantastic trip and looking forward to hearing all about it when you get back. Safe journey~

[junnleenfaah]

for those in houston..

okay seriously. WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH ALL THIS RAIN?

i hate it )= humidity. ew. mosquitoes. ew.

just.. EW EW EW EW EW. houston weather totally sucks.

[xLiFEerasedx]

Hey all you Texans! :wave:

I noticed that a lot of you are from Plano.. :excited: I live in Richardson, but I'm pretty familiar with Plano too. We travel around north Texas all the time. :happy:

A lot of you are from Houston too! We've been down there a lot. I swear my daddy knows his way around the little Chinatown areas there by memory. :D

Hey junnleenfaah, you should be happy about the rain you're getting.. up here, we have a drought going on.. :oops:

[junnleenfaah]

Hey junnleenfaah, you should be happy about the rain you're getting.. up here, we have a drought going on.. :oops:

oh trust me, if you were living in houston with all this rain, you'd be complaining along with me, lol. the mosquitoes.. ksjfdlskjsj. it's horrible. luckily, we havent had as much rain lately. it's been a very rainy summer this summer, for some reason.

Sorry for the late reply, I couldn't post for the last few days for some reason.. :?

Okay, never mind then.. I don't much like mosquitoes.. :wacko:

We just had a tiny bit of rain a few days ago.. we still have to conserve water like crazy [exxageration] though. x___x;

[junnleenfaah]

xlifeerasedx- so you're in richardson? hmm.. i've probably heard of it, but had forgotten the name >.< haha, plano.. where all those ridiculously amazing music programs in the schools are.. oh jealous-ness. those suckers take all our all state spots! haha jk, i could never make it into all state anyway =P

Haha, yeah Richardson's pretty small compared to Plano so.. :whistle:

Really?! :excited: I hadn't noticed that Plano students were that good.. well at least not up until senior high anyway. THEN lots of people get to state. :D But of course, there's always people like me [I go to school in the Plano school district].. who are.. well let's just say I'm not very good. xDD Just looking at the regionals music for this year makes me depressed.. x___x;

[junnleenfaah]

region is taking over my life right now. and college apps. BOO ):

[jayndytx]

Yay for Texas Jay Chou fans! I didn't know they existed--with the exception of me and my friend. Anyway, I'm also a Texan (hence the "tx") from the Abilene area. So...nice to meet all of you! ^.^

[junnleenfaah]

yayyy, jay fans all around texas (=

xlifeerasedx- actually no.. i'm pretty bad at violin. but i try. hehe.

jayndytx- how's it up there in abilene?

[xLiFEerasedx]

xlifeerasedx- actually no.. i'm pretty bad at violin. but i try. hehe.

[xLiFEerasedx]

Ehh cool!.. what's wrong with not living in a huge city? :oops:

I'd prefer living in a suburban area myself.. less pollution, usually less crime & violence, etc.. more peace & quiet. :happy: So I like Richardson.

[some1atemyco0kiex_X]

Texas...I'd like to go there someday, instead of being stuck in New Jersey all the time =.= I've never really even been off of the east coast...just to go to Canada and stuff x.x;; But yeah. My dad's been there on business a lot though...

Well I'd like to go to the East Coast U.S. someday :happy:.. we had an east Canada road trip once, but it's just not the same. My daddy's done business in NY, but I've never actually gone up there.. it should be way cooler up in New England than down here in Texas. Well the part I live in anyway. >_>; Not much to do at all.. :oops:

[junnleenfaah]

ahh, i've been so inactive in here.

okay so, it's like mid-fall. november. and it's still 70 degrees outside. i mean, dont get me wrong, i'm LOVING the weather right now because it's gorgeous & breezy & sunny. but seriously.. oh houston. your winters amaze me. haha.

how's weather around the other parts of texas?

Woops. I've been neglecting this thread too.. :oops:

Well up here we've been having a couple of 50-ish days, which I loveloveloveee.<3 :D But otherwise it's a bit chillier in the morning, but still goes up to like 70 in the afternoon.. >__>;

I want a REAL fall though. :dry:

Oh & I went down to Austin like 2 days ago to visit the UT campus [like it lots by the way], & the weather there was nice too. :happy:

[junnleenfaah]

austin is always gorgeous. you're only a sophomore and you're already visiting colleges? wow. now i feel like such a slacker, hahaha.

UT is amazing, huh?

aaaahhhhhh I WANT TO GO THERE SO BADLY. *crosses fingers*

but i dont mind doing the CAP program (:

[sushii]

weather in carrollton sucks..its seems that its like hot one day and freezing cold the next..i hate it..

[SHANGHAi]

I'm from Houston, but I live in Austin now due to college (UT student majoring in photography ;) )

[xLiFEerasedx]

Haha. Well it's Thanksgiving Break & I had nothing to do so I thought.. might as well. xD

Yeah me too.. *crosses fingers for like the next 2 years haha* I wouldn't really mind doing the CAP program either. =b SHANGHAi you're so lucky. :happy: *envies*

@ sushii; Haha I know what you mean.. I don't live TOO far from Carrollton so we've been getting pretty much the same weather. >_<;

[junnleenfaah]

shanghai- what part of houston are you from? ahh how lucky you are to be at UT.. doing photography! i love photography, too bad i suck at it. make me envy you (: haha

[sushii]

xLiFEerasedx: oh! where do you live? how far is it from carrollton?..did you get snow/sleet over there last week? crazy texas weather huh..now its all sunny

[xLiFEerasedx]

xLiFEerasedx: oh! where do you live? how far is it from carrollton?..did you get snow/sleet over there last week? crazy texas weather huh..now its all sunny
Mm do you know where Plano is? That's where I live. :happy: Not TOO far from Carrollton.. but then again, depends on how slow you drive. xDD

Oh yeah, the below-0 weather was nice. :happy: But it's all gone now.. :dry:

[sushii]

plano isn't far at all. my sister works in plano..the willowbend mall..yeah..the nice cold weather is gone..but its coming back..or its like already here..just not cold enough

[xLiFEerasedx]

plano isn't far at all. my sister works in plano..the willowbend mall..yeah..the nice cold weather is gone..but its coming back..or its like already here..just not cold enough
Oh really? :excited: I love that mall.. so pretty. :D But I don't go there very often~ >_<;

Haha, yeah, the temperature varies from day to day.. but I was still a bit disappointed when we didn't have snow for Christmas yesterday. :oops: I got a bit too hopeful I guess. xD

[xiaoting]

sooo then....who's hating the weather we're having right now?

it was so hot yesterday...now it's freezing cold! gah! i was just sweating the other day too!

[junnleenfaah]

tiffany- omg yeah, i dont understand houston weather at all. it's so flipping bipolar. i've liked the weather we've had recently. and i'm definitely not looking forward to the sleet/snow/whatever it is that we're getting ):

rodeo season is coming soon. yeehaw :cowboy:

oh btw, i've lived here all my life.
and i've never been to the rodeo.
i admit that i'm guilty. hahahaha.

[lonely_boy]

Me a Texas resident! I do agree that Texas climate is strange. One day is in the oven and another is within a freezer.

Speaking of Texas, I was at a Region Band tryout today and I made 4th chair. :(

[xLiFEerasedx]

^lonely_boy - I still think 4th chair is REALLY GOOD.. :rolleyes:

Haven't been here in a while.. >__<;

I can't wait for the weather we're supposed to get soon. Maybe it'll get bad enough that I'll get to miss a day or two of school. *hopeful* :happy:

Oh, is the Houston weather really weird now? I was down there for a few days over my winter break & the weather was really good then.. :D

[lonely_boy]

So much for the snow. It's just rain that is blazing cold!

[xLiFEerasedx]

So much for the snow. It's just rain that is blazing cold!
No luck with any snow today.. just 25-degree temperature, no rain.

No snow = school as usual. :dry:

Maybe I'll have luck tomorrow though! :D

[lonely_boy]

I really really hope that it's freezing cold tomoroow so there won't be any school!

[junnleenfaah]

houston weather sucks once again with its bipolar weather. and this whole dropping to 30 degrees at night thing really doesnt appeal to me. i wish spring would come sooner.

and i'm always talking about the weather in here. gosh. there's nothing else better to talk about. ever. texas is boring. hahaha

[sushii]

junnleenfaah
houstons weather is just as bad as carrollton's weather..friday was like 16 degress..so flipping cold..and today its warm..i don't get it..texas, you love it but you hate it too.lol yeah and texas is pretty boring..the only thing we have that is remotely fun is six flags..

[XxfearlessxX]

I'm a proud Texan!
Howdy! How ya'll doing?
Actually, that just pushed it off the edge, but it was just show how proud I am of my state! :excited:

[xiaoting]

sweet! another texan!
texas is my kind of state =) just look at jay chou to the left. he's wearing a texas jersey! i love i love i love!

hahaha, just wondering...who says "ya'll" here? i do =P but i know some people who think i'm weird just because i say it - especially my cousins in canada.

[xLiFEerasedx]

^Hahaha. XD

I admit that I say it sometimes. :oops: It used to be so unnatural when I first moved here, but after a while I just picked it up I guess.. like the 'eh' thing they say in Canada that everyone's so obsessed about for some reason. >>"

Even though I don't recall saying 'eh' once the whole 7.5 years I lived in Canada.. :rolleyes: But maybe it's just me~

[sushii]

i say yall all the time..my cousins in california think i'm weird for saying it... lol xLiFEerasedx you location says texas.usa then ^__^ <lol you don't like texas? i admit its pretty boring

[xLiFEerasedx]

Yes, Texas is indeed pretty boring. :rolleyes: Notice how everyone only really talks about the weather in this thread. X'D

Well, at least I don't live in like, ...Kansas or something. :worry: *ducks and hides before I get shot :crazy:*

[sushii]

lol *finds a place for you to cover* haha you can call me leann.
yeah the only thing thats interesting here is the weather..and even that just makes people mad. what do you do for fun in texas?

[ichi157]

Shot some cans or burn stuffs like firecrackers, rockets etc

It's pretty boring here

[xLiFEerasedx]

:wave: Hi Leann! I'm Cathee. ^^;

*hopes people from Kansas don't come into this thread randomly :whistle:*

Shot some cans or burn stuffs like firecrackers, rockets etc
Hahaa~ uhm isn't that illegal..? ><" Guess not..

I don't really think anything here is fun - except for possibly Six Flags? I just go shopping at my local malls when I have nothing else to do, but lately I don't even have enough time to do that.. :oops:

[sushii]

Cathee *waves*
lol you said you were from plano right? (waaaay earlier post) what mall do you go to?

[xLiFEerasedx]

Well I used to go to Collin Creek all the time.. sometimes Stonebriar in Frisco even though it's a long drive from where I live. And I used to go to Willow Bend a couple of times a year for the sales, haha~ such a shame, that mall is so pretty but it's so far away from me. :dry:

[sushii]

oOoOoO collin creek is a good mall..and stonebriar..but it is a bit far...i always go to willowbend or vista ridge..i want to go to grapevine..but its waaay too far

[xLiFEerasedx]

Haha, yeah I like Collin Creek because it's smaller and it feels more intimate to me since I'm so familiar with it. But everyone always complains about how ugly/old it is~ :oops:

Hmm is Vista Ridge good? I've never heard of it before..

Grapevine Mills is pretty too, but since it's so far I've only been there like twice. >>"

Oh I forgot Firewheel [in Garland, a cute outdoor center] and Allen Premium Outlets [which I've been once & didn't really like]. And Valley View [where I've never been] and the Galleria in downtown. And of course, all those expensive places that I've never been to..

Wow, I never knew I could talk so much about just malls. :sweat: I'm such a girl.

[sushii]

lol...i love the galleria mall!!! soooo big.but far. valley view is somewhat close to the galleria. vista ridge..is like the typical mall nothing fancy about it.. so do you go to plane high school?

[xLiFEerasedx]

Yeah, I've passed by Valley View every time I've gone downtown, but never actually gone inside it. And the Galleria is HUGE. Well, not compared to, for example, the Galleria in Houston, but still. It's big compared to the other malls around here~

Yep. I live on the East side. Right now I go to Williams HS & next year I'll be at Plano East Senior High. :D Can't wait to get out of Williams! Maybe you've heard about it..? It kind of has a reputation [of sorts] for being 'ghetto' if you know what I mean.. :oops:

[sushii]

williams high school? nope i've never heard of it..does that mean you're a junior?
i'm a senior at creekview. creekview is good academically..but it also has bad people..i don't know if you remember or heard the story of the teacher and a student love at the park..but that was from our school..she was a junior when i was a freshman..>.< and last year..someone from our school got shot..and a lot of things happen at our school..i don't know if you've heard of it or not..creekview is in carrollton very boring city btw..i wished i lived in plano..so much better than carrollton.

[xLiFEerasedx]

Ehheh, nope, I'm a sophomore. ^^; We have 9/10 at Williams, then 11/12 at PESH.

:glug: Oh really? I think I heard that story.. hmm. And someone got shot last year? Back in middle school we were under the impression that there was a fight at Williams every day, but that was just a huge exxageration. -__- However, there WAS one week last semester where all the 'gangs' were acting up & we had like 5 fights in one day. And there was a rumor going around that the Mexicans were going to shoot all the white people. Like they apparently had a 'list'? :crazy: And extra security & dogs had to be at school and everything. But nothing happened in the end.. :rolleyes:

Hmm, I have a friend that lives/goes to school in Carroltton I'm pretty sure. Should ask him about that someday~

Plano really isn't that interesting.. :sweat: But I believe our district is one of the top in the state? Probably just because of the rich people in West, even though Frisco's richer. Or the fact that we have the IB program [my senior high gives out the most IB diplomas in the state I think].

One of my friends goes around calling the district the 'Plano Nazis'.. XD

[sushii]

lol Plano Nazis?!?! woah... oh so you're a sophmore..yeah thats right plano senior high has both juniors and seniors. woah are you serious five fights in one day? thats soo extreme..the fight at my school are super lame..they fight over nothing at all..and when they fight all they do is push each other..no fun for the audience..and there so stupid to fight out in the open..they fight in the cafe and the principles office is like right about it..-_-

[xLiFEerasedx]

Haha. Yeah usually the fights are over nothing at all.. once this girl got in a fight with another girl over her ex-boyfriend?! She just needed to get over him. :dry: And the fight was boring too.. just hair-pulling & cussing.

I remember this one that happened in 6th grade though.. a guy got thrown onto a table in the cafeteria & his nose started bleeding. Yep I think that's the most interesting fight I've seen. I tend to miss all of them.. >>"

Whenever a fight happens though, it takes a while to stop 'cause you know how everyone starts crowding around to look? Well, our school is pretty crowded so if there's something going on the teachers can't get to it really quick since everyone's in the way. Once this girl like got run over almost. 0_o And they've actually had to pull us out of class to tell us not to stop & watch whenever there's an 'incident' in the hallway. -__-"

[sushii]

lol.i think all fights are lame... in middle school..somehting happened between the afrian americans and the mexicans..and the african americans went up on stage and was like "welcome to the alamo" or something like that to anger the mexicans..i thought something big was going ot blow up between the two.but nothing happened..eck! the girl got run over? i hope shes okay..and i what i hate the most is like one person cheers in the cafe..everyone else all of a sudden has to cheer too...that has got to be the most interesting that has ever happened throughout my life here in texas...

[xLiFEerasedx]

Yeah, it's either something about race or jealousy over relationships. >__>;

Hah I know! Like when people randomly say 'BOOOO' for no reason, everybody says 'BOOOO' too & they don't even know what they're saying it for. Or, if not booing, then random clapping..

Teenagers are just weird I guess? XD

[sushii]

yeah..those darn teenagers..ahaha but it gets soo annoying..i'm glad i don't have to go to the cafe for lunch anymore..maybe its the bipolar weather of texas thats making those kids act up? haha i dunno..but speaking of bipolar. i'm going to terral (sp?) state mental hospital on the 5 for a field trip.nooo..i'm not checking in >.< anyone know where that is?

[xLiFEerasedx]

:glug: You're going to a mental hospital for a field trip?? What for if you don't mind me asking?

I have no idea where it is though. :oops:

Haha, bipolar weather. I have a bipolar chemistry teacher..? XD Or maybe she's just weird too. :sweat:


Ahaa I like how we're the only ones posting in this thread? ><"

[sushii]

i'm going for a psychology field trip! will be exciting! lol i had a bipolar english teacher last year..>.< crazy woman indeed. lol its become a cathee and leann discussion thread now..lol noo more people come in and talk about texas!!!
ahh its getting warmer now..but i'll miss the cold when i gets super hot..

[xiaoting]

well, ya'll. it's hot and humid now in the houston area.

bring on the heatwaves. i'm ready for summer.

[sushii]

gaaah.. it starting to get cold...it was freezing this morning on the way to school..stupid bipolar texas weather

[junnleenfaah]

ccchhyeeaahhhh no kidding, down here we've been having gorgeous spring-like weather and all of the sudden another cold front is suppose to come -_- WHY CAN'T SPRING JUST COME ALREADY!

spring weather makes me want to go frolic in my front yard. hahahaha jk. sorta =P

[sushii]

junnleenfaah
yeah..i hate texas weather..its bipolarness is getting on my nerves
i wish we woul have days where is sunny outside..but has cool breeze..but we barely (well.thats an understatement) get it here in carrollton

[xLiFEerasedx]

Leann - ooo, psychology. Sounds fun! :happy: Have a nice trip!!

Hey we actually did have one of those days today though.. sunny with a bit of a breeze [50ish degrees outside].. :happy: Well we did where I live anyway. Even though the weather shouldn't be TOO different from where you live..

Erghh yeah. Bipolarity = ew. Whether it applies to teachers, or the weather. ><"

Hopefully we'll have nice spring weather by the time spring officially begins?

[sushii]

lol Cathee yeah it shouldn't..i remember one of those days.. today acutally looks like a good day, i haven't stepped outside yet so i'm not sure.lol

[xLiFEerasedx]

Yay it's spring break for me! No homework at ALL! :D I've SO been looking forward to this~

Today looks like a good day for me. It's pretty nice outside. Should probably go cycling or something, but then again, I'm too lazy to bother. :oops: I'm turning into a typical lazy American.. x__x"

[sushii]

lol..NOOOO DON'T FOLLOW THE AMERICAN LAZY WAYS!!!! lol..lucky you already have spring break..i don't have it til next week.but COLORADO FOR SKIING YEAAAH!!!what what..holla.lol NO BORING TEXAS FOR A WEEK!of course i shall bring along my laptop..if they let me so i can chat with you people! =D

[xLiFEerasedx]

Okay well today I went to the library & checked out a gazillion books for pleasure reading!! How anti-typical-American is that?!? XD

Oh cool, Colorado!! I need to go skiing one day before I die. My parents went skiing ages ago back in Canada & it looks so fun from the pictures - especially since my dad had this scared look on his face in all the pictures XDD.

Everyone left the thread again.. >>" Maybe they'll come back if we talk about the weather? :sweat:

It's been warming up these past couple of days! Arghh I can totally wait for summer to come! *turns on AC*

[sushii]

lol yeah maybe! it was cold this morning though!!!!! yeah skiing will be the high light of my trips..hopefully there will be internet so i can chat!hehe ihave fun reading all those books

[xLiFEerasedx]

Ehheh, haven't been out today so I have no clue. ><"

Hey make sure to tell us all about it when you get back okay? If you don't get to chat here during your trip that is.. hopefully you'll be able to though. :D

Ahaa, I'm such a bookworm, I finished 3 of my books already as my brother was hogging the computer all day today. >>"

[sushii]

Oh gosh, 14 hours?!? :crazy: I feel your pain.. >>"

[xLiFEerasedx]

Oh.. so like there's so much snow & it's so cold that even if the sun shines on it, none of it will melt? And instead it'll get even hotter? Cool! :happy:

Hmm I'm hoping to get into UT Austin when the time comes. But Rice is my dream university. ^^;


Blehh where is everyone..?? :worry:

[sushii]

Cathee- woah rice!?!? wow..good luck..i could neve get into rice..or utAustin. OMG IT WAS SOOO MUCH FUN!! but..going there..it was such a small town..madde me want to go back home to texas at times..such a small town with nothing to do..but skiing was loads of fun..i'll make a detailed version of my story in random thread..so look out for it.

[junnleenfaah]

Rice is gggooorrrgeeeouuussss! i used to go there for summer school, and the campus is just amazing. it's small but it's SO pretty (= and there's stuff to do around there too. actually, sometimes i just wanna go to rice and take artsy fartsy pictures there with my friends, hahaha.

...because there's nothing else better to do in houston.

LOL jk.

[xLiFEerasedx]

Hahaha, like I said, probably not gonna happen.. unless I get MAJOR financial aid that is~ :tongue:

Leann - shall look for your thread! ^^;

Gah, I want it to stay like this forever. Not too hot, but not too cold.. I can go outside in a t-shirt & whatever. :D

Not so fond of the huge mosquitoes that always fly around during this time of the year though. >>"

Wow, 14 hours turned to 18 hours.. that was one massive trip.. x__x;

Yep yep, the weather's been pretty nice. :D

[sushii]

[xLiFEerasedx]

Hmm, I wonder if Lake Lavon is all full yet. XD :tongue: Yeah I remember that day too~

Eeeep you almost got in a wreck because of the rain? :crazy: Good thing nothing bad happened though. ^^

Do you remember at about what time every year when those huge mosquitoes all go off & die or something? I SO can't wait to get rid of them. :dry:

[sushii]

omg me too!! i just got home from brookhaven..and i saw like three migrating outside my door...>.< my step mom was about to open the door to but i started screaming hahah..today was actually a good day..nice weather.

[xLiFEerasedx]

It's raining right now. Thunder, lighting, the works. There's even tornado warnings or something on TV.. o-o

On the bright side: No mosquitoes when it's raining!! Fill up, Lake Lavon, fill up! :D No more drought for us!!! XD

[sushii]

[xLiFEerasedx]

^Yeah, I heard that too.

It snowed this morning. o__o Where I live, anyway. For about a minute, and really lightly.. but still~

And it was 37 degrees outside! Weird.. it should've been less than 32 for it to be snowing right?

[sushii]

but this morning was OMG COLD!!..i was freezing...i wanted to take a walk this morning with my friend too.but stupid texas weather didn't allow.omg did you hear the thunder on friday?..there was even a tornado warning.

[xLiFEerasedx]

Haha, yeah. It was REALLY light.. if you didn't look closely you wouldn't have noticed it.. where I live anyway. :oops:

Yesterday was really cold for me. >__> So much for being able to deal with colder weather just because I'm Canadian.. :rolleyes:

I was going to watch the school play on Friday, but the weather wasn't cooperating. >< Apparently a tornado tore the roof off some church somewhere 30 minutes from where I live or something.. o_o" And my friend 10 minutes away got the tornado sirens. :worry:

myspace.com/ghettosushi713

everybodys really rude here =/
and really really asinine =.="

[xLiFEerasedx]

Okay, well maybe it's polluted & stuff, but it's still cool! And besides, *all* big cities are polluted ahaha~ :rolleyes:

And y'all still have the Galleria! XD <3

Well um, people up here aren't really nice either.. :worry: can't find many places in the world where people are still super nice any more.. unless it's in Canada, where people are slightly more polite in my opinion~ ^^"

Oh, but of course, most teenagers everywhere are rude & whatnot. :whistle: Even though it obviously depends on the person..

[sushii]

lol cathee have you been at the galleria? they have more levels now. ^^ or they renovated.but last time i went it was like three. i love that place. so huge ^^ and i love the ice rink. yaaah angie no place is nice..there will always be rude people esp on the roads!! darn people who cut. -_-
the weather is good today

[xLiFEerasedx]

Oh really? I went to the Galleria in Houston for Christmas '06. Don't really remember how many levels it had; just that it was super big. :sweat:

Yeah, they have a nice rink, especially during the holidays with the super huge tree in the middle & the cool decor. :happy:

[xiaoting]

wow, you make houston sound like some kind of paradise...WHICH it is NOT!

the mosquitoes are coming out already in this humidity. sigh, thank god i'm leaving for college next year in austin - barely any mosquitoes there.

anyways, it seems that ya'll really like the galleria. honestly, it's a bit too expensive for me. anyone been to the first colony mall in Sugar Land? it's a lot smaller, but it's coming out with some brand-name stores! anthropology! i can't wait!

wow, ghettosushi, you live in chinatown?! you get to eat all the good food. =/ has anyone been to tofu village, the restaurant? it's SO good!!

[sushii]

the colony mall!?! you live near the dallas fort-worth..plano areas? basically north texas? ^^ i live in carrollton!!!
yeah the galleria is really nice.but i become broke after just one day of going there..i prefer willowbend better..sigh..its getting hotter..i don't like that..i was sweat like a pig today even when i had my fan on..i thought i was going to die

edit..lol i'm really blur..i just realised you live in houston haha

[ghettosushi713]

ayyy i live in like alief but im moving to sugarland soon =D
first colony mall chyea!

yeah galleria is getting bigger and bigger seems like....

anyways houston people have ALWAYS been rude and will always BE rude
and its not helping that we have a bunch of poser rappers running around everyday either =.="

[sushii]

ahhh...texas weather is getting hotter and hotter by the day, i'm getting so sick of it..i swear, i drench buckets and buckets of sweat each day. only good thing, is that school is over in a week!!(exam week ^^) what about you guys?

[xLiFEerasedx]

Ahhh, yeah I can SO wait for summer. :wacko: *sweats buckets just THINKING about the heat..*

Exam week starts this Monday for me. This week was our 'dead week'.. blehh, I hate reviewing for final exams.. :crazy:

This thread kind of died.. XD Oops~ ><'

[junnleenfaah]

aahhh the activity in here died! haha oops :X
okay so is anybody else experiencing this RIDICULOUS texas weather like i am? it's been raining like crazy for the past week. in fact, it's been raining a lot this entire summer. humidity is at its highest and it's driving me nuts!

AP scores come out soon.. eek!

[jbalibean]

Yes, I absolutely hated all of that rain!!!! I just went outside for literally 3 minutes and I was already sweating! :sweat: Someone was taking a picture of me, and there was lines of sweat on my shirt :oops: I'm from Dallas btw :)

[DulceMexicana]

Probab;y knows this city but El Paso yeah near at the border of Juarez central lol

[xiaoting]

hello texans. i am no longer in houston anymore (thank god, the weather was horrible). i've moved to austin for college.

who here feels disappointed with jay chou's new song? it's a disgrace to country music. FOR REAL.

i'm also going to the concert in LA...i hope his theme isn't a cowboy theme. jay chou needs to stay away from country.

[OutCaster]

I work in austin, tx and went to the Jay Chou concert in LA! Recently graduated from UT Austin.

Hello Houston, nice to be on this awesome forum. Hope to make more friends. Later.

[alisadorsey@yahoo.co]

I am from Houston also. Texas has so many flags because it used to be a country. I like it here because of the weather and I can find lots of great Asian restaurants, which I love. Nice to know there are some Houstonians here who like Jay Chou.

[xiao|mei]

who knew jay had so many fans in tx
what are the chances he'd ever come to dallas??
ha
tx has so many flags not just because it used to be it's own county, but because it's been a part of so many countries
tx under spain, tx under france, tx under mexico, tx under the confederacy, tx under the usa, and tx state flag
our state capitol is actually one of a kind and most unique in the usa just cause tx used to be a county.
hook 'em horns!

Hello thy Godfather. What a name. Really cool, Wow! Well I am in Houston near the galleria mall. It is quite hot right now, and everyone is just low key staying at home especially on the weekends. How do I know? Blockbusters is really packed when I go. So what do you recommend is a great way to beat the Summer?

[kirasuran]

HELLO

im going to houston in........pretty much exactly a year's time. i have many relatives there!

well ive been a couple of times before. i know this is a longshot, but anybody heard of the 'sweetwater golf club' or something like that? aaaaaaaaanybody? i probably got the name wrong hahaha

Sorry, but I have not heard of this country club. But there are so many, cannot say that this one does not exist. Well have fun while you are here. San Antonio is a great place to visit, if you have not gone there. It is only 2 and half hours away from Houston. Also, there is Kemah Boardwalk. It is nice to visit. Well anyways have fun while you are visiting. Maybe the basketball season will bein and you can see Yao Ming. The games are usually hyped and fun. Seriously packed with people.

Mmmmm Houston has the best asian restraunts in Tx :]. Sucks that everytime I go to Houston I go to car shows/meets and never have time to go eat cause it gets late :[.

Anyone from San Antonio?
Nothing beats riding a scooter in the Tx heat :].

Sorry about your unfortunate plight to going to our car shows here. There are a lot of them, and they do end late. Everything closes pretty early here, except for downtown. Well San Antonio is my favorite place to visit in Texas. Well, I am sure there will be some San Antonians in this forum. Yeah gas is pretty steep. I wish I had a scooter. Well welcome to the Jay-Chou.net newbie.

[pho sho]

Haha it's alright though, the shows are worth it. You like visiting SA? SA is so boring compared to Houston haha. What do you do in SA? Haha yeah, I have a car...but I found an awesome scooter that doesn't look cheap, so I bought it to modify :D. Saves on gas too lol, spend about 4.20ish on fill up with 100+mpg.

SA is not boring to me. I do the River Walk. I go to Seaworld, Fiesta texas, and there is this Ice Creamery off of 35. I also check out the concerts at the River walk and at the Square in Downtown. Maybe you are bored because you live there. Like I live in Houston, and here can be boring since they closed down Astroworld. So the only attraction to me is the Houston Dynamo-Soccer and Houston Rockets-basketball. Other than that I am not sure what you acn do here. Bayou Landing is pretty nice since it does have authentic restaurants in Downtown, and concerts in the park. Hey a scooter sounds like heaven right now with the gas issue. I bought gas this morning and it went down to 3.79. That was good compared to some other areas. They are 4.05.

[pho sho]

Awww true that. Riverwalk is really fun at night, especially when no ones there :]. Mmm ice cream sounds good! Yalls downtown is so much nicer and looks cleaner haha. And yeah, yalls restraunts are a lot better too. Haha, sucks when we have to say 3.79 is good. But it's a lot better than most places in US.

:yawn:

Everyone die or what? It's quite in here lol.

Yes,
It gets kind of quiet in some forums. I get bored also, because some of the things are repetitive. So I guess no-one really have anything else new to say. I am a talker, so I will try to keep hope alive here. I agree with you about our restaurants. They are really good. I try not to eat out too much and do a lot of cooking at home. I am semi-veggan, meaning sometimes I eat like a vegetarian. I eat some chicken, but not a lot. But mostly fish. No red meat for me. I am not an animal rights person though. Meat is for eating. But that is why I prefer Asian dishes, because they have a variety of veggie dishes with flavor that I can choose from. If you come to houston, there is a restaurant off of Buffalo Speedway and Holcombe in a shopping center called "China Stix". The food there is totally gerat. I had a spicy soup that I ordered and it was Octopus. So I was shocked when I found out, but it was to die for. So is all the food there. You should go there when you come back to Houston. Hey by the way, gas is like 3.55 now. Whoohoo!

[pho sho]

Aww that's cool! I used to eat like that but I kept getting sick :[. I wish I could cook, what do you cook? Actually I think I've passed by there once when I was picking up my friend. Maybe I'll go next time I'm in Houston. Should be going there soon to get some new clothes and Nikes before fall semester starts up. Octopus :[. Octopus balls are good though :D! Dang, getting cheaper! I should see what it is down the street from me.

Dang, getting cheaper! I should see what it is down the street from me.

I usually cook baked Tilapia with fried bananas and yellow rice. Baked chicken with yellow rice and steamed Broccoli and green beans. Sometimes Spaghetti with wheat pasta and spicy sauce. Just simple stuff. I can cook other special dishes, but only for my family in Florida. They get the special stuff.I am an island girl so I have to make sure I have some spicy foods. I will have to try the Octupus balls when I go back to the restaurant. Thanks!

You know that off of 290 West Northwest Freeway, they just opened up a new outlet for shopping. I heard that they have some nice stores out there. Maybe you can pick something up there when you come. Yes, check out the hole in the walls down the street. They have the best food.

[pho sho]

Aww man that sounds good xD. I just woke up and you're making me want to get some food lol.

Didn't know that. Might have to check it out since I'll be there anyway. Holes in the walls are the best places to eat :].

I live in Austin! Hey my fellow Texans..

Welcome to Jay's place Austinite. I am from Houston near the Galleria and Medical Center. Austin is very pretty with its hills. Welcome to the Texas forum. Were you affected at all by Edoaurdo the hurricane? I had to work through it. Wish I were at home.

[pho sho]

Welcome myden :D. Austin, nice! I visit there quite a bit. Where you located in Austin?

Drizzling over here, but no real rain :[. We need it here.

Wondering if everyone in Houston/surrounding areas doing fine.

No one posts in here anymore, but just checking.

[twink0star]

well. Houston is on the way to being normal. there are still traffic lights messed up, tons of fences down. tons of trees down. for the most part. lots of people lost power/ water for at least 3-4 days. but slowly everyone is getting power/water back. gas stations are still pretty packed and certain food cant be found anywhere haha but most schools are starting back up this week. i start school again tomrorow.

i think Ike is the worst hurricane recently. completely screwed up everyone's life. but houston is hanging there. anyone know about galveston ?

[pho sho]

^Well good to hear things are getting back to normal :]. If yall need something and can't find it in Houston, I can look around San Antonio for yall and ship it or something if it's shippable. How high is gas there? :[

[twink0star]

hahaha thanks! but i think we will manage (: umm. the cheapest ive seen so far..is 3.39 for teh regular...3.79 is the highest so far.
