I think Hershey's milk chocolate tastes weird no matter where in the universe it's produced. And well taste buds and national pride don't always go together for me

[Bookworm]

Well imported chocolate like from Europe and stuff is the best anyway

I don't have any idea what Hershey's chocolate is like never heard of it before so can't make any comparisons. But I love Central European chocolate. Maybe even too much My favorite brands are Guylian and Lindt. Especially the really dark chocolates or the confections.
T'Poptarts what brands do you get imported from Europe?

[CX]

I like both Hershey's and Mars, and politics doesn't effect that.

[evcake]

Mrs. See's double-dipped chocolate covered raisins. Toblerone bars. Milky Way Dark. Almond Snickers.

[JadziaKathryn]

My favorite brands are Guylian and Lindt.

We have Lindt over here and it's fantastic. I'm a big fan. The hazelnut truffles are scrumptious.

[evcake]

Yes. Also Lindt with chopped hazelnuts!
Not familar with Guylian.

The regime of Communist China is actively blocking a lot of websites from being accessed inside China. I found a website that allows you to test and see if a specific website is blocked or not --> http://www.greatfirewallofchina.org/test/

I turns out this board is blocked, as is my website and the website for my newspaper (despite the fact that few Chinese could read Swedish)!

In fact most sites seems to be blocked. At least I haven't tested and found one that isn't blocked of the ones I use regularly.

Frakking commies!

Commies! I hate those guys.

I still dont get why the US bothers to embargo that rat hole island Cuba, an yet we still continue to deal with the bigger criminal nation, Rights abusin Commie China. By dealin with the bastards, were only makin ourselves more Lazy, fraked, an Helpin to feed that Communist beast. Were the ones keepin that system alive, fer cryin outloud.

And now to yet another sleep deprivation rant:

Previously on T'Poptarts's Sleep Deprivation Rants:
Alarm Clock Lady's alarm goes off at like 4am. Wakes no one but T'Poptarts. T'Poptarts is like totally pissed.

And tonight on a whole new episode of T'Poptarts's Sleep Deprivation Rants:
Meet the other roommates:
1. A bag lady who's like 100 years old or something, AKA 100y/o Bag Lady
2. Terry, AKA Boom-Shake-Shake-Shake-the-Room

ACT I:

INT ROOM 4am
Alarm Clock Lady's alarm goes off again like every frelling other night. And again wakes no one but T'Poptarts. After a while of waiting for the alarm clock's rightful owner to wake up and shut the thing T'Poptarts gets up and shut it herself. Goes back to bed and tries to fall asleep again.

ACT II:

INT ROOM 5am
T'Poptarts is still trying to fall asleep after shutting the alarm clock. Cue 100y/o Bag Lady. Wakes up to get ready for work. Makes noise with crisp plastic and paper bags. Turns light on. Wakes no one else. For some twisted reason. Finishes getting ready and goes to work.

ACT III:

INT ROOM 6am
T'Poptarts is still trying to fall asleep. Boom-Shake-Shake-Shake-the-Room jumps down from top bunk and crashes her heavy bones to the floor at like 7 Richter Scale or something. Makes T'Poptarts jump. Looks at time in alarm clock. Climbs back to her bed and goes to sleep.

INT ROOM 6:30am
T'Poptarts is still trying to fall asleep. Boom-Shake-Shake-Shake-the-Room jumps down from top bunk again. Uses her superpower of Aggressive Mannerism (TM) to stomp around the room. While superpowerless beings would simply walk. Shakes room with every stomp. Literally. Gets dressed and goes outside to smoke. Slams door.

ACT IV:

INT ROOM 7am
T'Poptarts is still trying to fall asleep. Boom-Shake-Shake-Shake-the-Room comes back. Slams door. Stomps room. Goes to bathroom. Slams shower door hard against the wall. Shakes room. Comes out of the bathroom. Stomps room. T'Poptarts puts a pillow over her head. Boom-Shake-Shake-Shake-the-Room finishes getting ready and goes to work. Slams door.

ACT V:

INT ROOM 8am
T'Poptarts is still trying to fall asleep. But now she has to get up. Too frelling bad. Better luck tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the way does anyone know what happens to a PA driver's license if you put it in a commercial washing machine (and maybe a dryer too)?

[evcake]

Put the clock in the washer too
Nah, you'd be the first suspect. Darn. Put the batteries in the washer?

[TPoptarts]

Well actually I talked to Alarm Clock Lady today and asked her not to set the alarm if she doesn't need to get up because I'm the only one who wakes up and it takes me really long to fall asleep again, and I just can't with all the interruptions and she said she sets it for 100y/o Bag Lady who has to get up early but I told her no one wakes up but me. So now she sets it for like 8am when she needs to get up, well it'll probably go off like earlier but that's still a sane hour. Even if she (probably) keeps sleeping through it.

But yeah I've just been getting so little sleep since the introduction of the alarm clock and Boom, now I'm like totally brain dead even my reading slowed down to like 5 pages a day, and that's with typing it into the computer (because of my stupid dyslexia) that's almost as bad as without typing, well I mean in like "optimal conditions" where I actually get sleep because right now I just can't read at all without typing like I can't even think and I'm already dyslexic and I think I'm going like totally ADD I can't focus like at all and I have lines I was supposed to memorize for tomorrow but I just couldn't do it for the life of me my brain just isn't functioning. So now I had to cancel my audition because of that

Like is it me? Am I the one who doesn't know how to live in a shared space? Since the others obviously aren't complaining about anything? Is it wrong to get my clothes all ready the night before when I have to get up at some crazy hour? Is it wrong to turn the bathroom light on like after the door is closed so it won't light up the room as well? Is it wrong to not turn a light on at all if I'm perfectly capable of seeing in the dark? Is it wrong to close a door quietly? I mean why do I even bother to be like respectful and stuff if it really doesn't bother anyone? I don't know and I can't go to the manager about anything because everything is always my fault. Well I guess it is

Oh and I didn't actually put the driver's license in the washer... well let's just say Boom dumped her dirty sheets on the floor like 2 days ago instead of taking them to the laundry, then she dumped her purse on top of it and today I just got pissed that the dirty sheets were there (like right next to my bed), I took them to the laundry myself and the poor homeless driver's license just looked so cozy in there I wouldn't dream of separating it from its new home but if anyone asks I never even saw it. Well though the manager probably found it before she put the sheets in the washer and took it out. But let's hope she didn't. And let's hope it's not like water/dryer proof or something. Too bad Boom doesn't have a car because I kinda wish she'd get arrested for driving without a license and spend the night in jail with her noise like far away from here. Maybe I'd finally get some sleep. Oh and I was like totally sure she was like in her mid-late 50's or something because she really looks like that I guess because she's such a heavy smoker, but actually she's exactly a month younger than Connor Trinneer (I'm too brain dead to do math and I just know y'all know how old Connor is).

[Distracted]

Isn't it just downright scary how much smoking and hard living can age a person? I went to the carnival with my kids the other day and there was this carnie woman who I swear looked 30 from the neck down and sixty from the neck up standing out there in the hot sun puffing on her cigarette with her leathery face exposed to all those UV rays. The sad thing is that I'm sure the body was the true age and the face was prematurely wrinkled and not the other way around.

[TPoptarts]

Yikes!! That's one scary picture to imagine smoking does age people a lot, I've seen so many smokers like in their 30's and stuff who look like older than my parents and they're like 50, 50 something that's actually kinda sad too. Because it's so unhealthy. And it like totally stinks

Damn Boom. I really hate her. For some reason she just has to stand on my shoes every time she reaches for her stuff. And my poor little shoes aren't even like in the way or something, they're in the corner, but what the frell like how frelling disrespectful is that?? I mean do I step on her stuff or her shoes or something?? Or anyone's for that matter?? Did I give her permission to stand on my shoes?? WHAT THE FRELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE????

And then, of course, it can kill you earlier through any number of respiratory problems.
