<font color="plum"><H2>Cloudy's Cafe</H2></font>

Come in, be welcome, be comfortable, be yourself

Welcome to Cloudy's Cafe, a place to have a cup of coffee or a good
darjeeling and the finest in conversation and camaraderie.

The proprietor asks that you follow a few simple guidelines:

<H2>this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone</H2>

[i]* no flaming; if you disagree with a viewpoint expressed by any patron, please do so in a civil manner
* any topic is fair game, but keep posts to the standards that Ziroc has set for the entire forum, please (ie: foul language is not appropriate and things should be suitable for all audiences)
-a side note from Cloudy: I see this as a place for those short
conversations about a new baby or the latest soccer fiasco, not for things that are big enough to warrant their own threads, by all means give those things the space they need and post separately!
* Please, no one word or smiley posts (Ziroc has declared them 'real spam' and the proprietor doesn't want the reputuation of "good spam" to suffer!)
* do feel free to be serious or silly and enjoy the company of others while you are here. By all means POST if you have something to say, even to start another topic , we can handle multiple chats, we're a CAFE!!! But be courteous and don't disrupt a conversation just to disrupt it.[i]

Come on in! The bar is stocked with coffees, teas, juices and waters from around the world. And purple napkins, of course!

<font color="pink">The lighting is low, the golden oak counters and tables glow with inviting warmth. Near the window, the lighting is brighter, as comfy, plush leather armchairs wait for those who'd like to read a book while relaxing to music or just lazily watch the world go by.</font>

Cloudy,
your hostess [img]graemlins/ladyhearts.gif[/img]

Hey Cloud Lady, howse it goin?

AHA! I finally get to this thread before its 6 pages long.....now what? hmmmm irish coffee please ;)

Hi Caleb! Have some cookies too!

Hey Downunda! I'm doing fine! In fact.. [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] was up all night talking to my beau. ;) :D sigh.... His work schedule is a rough one and with our two hour time difference it's been 'fun' trying to find time to talk. He phoned up before dinner a bit then we hooked up later. I miss him...*pout*. But at least we're planning his move out this way and it's only 6 wks from now. [img]graemlins/1luvu.gif[/img] :D

I know what you're saying 'bout the time differences, Glorf is the closest to me with 3 hours, UK is 12 hours behind and the States are 19 hours. [img]smile.gif[/img]
The fact that I'm online 16 hours a day makes up for this though ;) I'm a fool! :D

Nacht and I have a 2 hr time difference.. it's later for me.

I remember trying to multiplay with someone from CA (3 hrs behind me) and England (five ahead)...now that was fun to co-ordinate!

Just thought I'd say it's good to see you so happy Cloudy, Makes me happy too [img]smile.gif[/img] I love it when life goes the way that it's meant to.
Might see ya later, I gotta go do some stuff.

<font color=Orange>Hi everyone! Didya miss me over the weekend? I was at my Grandma's and according to one of my younger cousins, I'm the bestes cousin. And I found a cat skull.</font>

<font color="pink">Missed ya, my pwecious protector! :D

Hiya Sir G! Nice to have you back.... but uh..leave your souvenir skull outside, please! :D

Downunda, thanks.. I feel terrific, if tired! Well, I just love talking to Jim, of course, but we had such a nice talk and I AM getting excited about his move as it's getting closer! [img]graemlins/1luvu.gif[/img] LOL so um... sorry if I gush and float about a bit... love is a pretty nifty thing, though :D

Gush and float all you want. I remember feeling that way once, and it truely is the best feeling in the world, nothing can get you down.

*giggle* I know.. it's amazing.. and it's about the third or fourth time this mood has just overwhelmed me in the last year. [img]smile.gif[/img] Of course I expect other moods to kick in in about 6 weeks. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] ;) [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] *giggle*

LOL I do feel a bit silly and giddy.. but heh.. we could blame lack of sleep for some of it!

Aww.. Downunda, hope you feel silly, gushy and wonderful again soon! I kinda like it.. :D

I am going to be leaving for basic training soon maybe within this month. I will let you guys know.

Yes, that's what I thought. It must be spring in the northern hemisphere. [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

@caleb: all the coffee beans are sorted alphabetically, the grinder is over there, and the brewer is next to that. feel free to help yourself! [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

Hey guys and girls, what's the haps?

Just gone midnite here and i'm still feeling wide eyed and bushy tailed.
My bike got stolen from outside my brothers work today so am a bit pissed off about that, but I've been letting my bro borrow it since he started working there about a month ago so was prolly just a matter of time before it happened.

Hey Downunda, once again this place is nearly empty. If only the rest of the world could keep up with us Aussies and Kiwis!

My bike got stolen once. Still gets on my nerves just thinking about it. How could someone just.........aaaaaggghhhhhh (smashes keyboard).

OK, I'm OK now! How are things? I've just finished watching Sleepy Hollow and am considering going to bed. (just considering :D )

Aviendha.

Oooooohhhhh!!!!!! I'm an Avatar now!!!!! That's right, don't mess with Aviendha the Avatar. She's a nasty bitch! :D

Once? - I must have had at least 5 bicycles stolen from me. And trust me - repeating the expirience doesn't make it feel any better. :mad:
+
Yor're a bitch, Aviendha? - Who could have guessed. ;) :D

500 posts in 2 months [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] That's an achievement girl [img]smile.gif[/img] You'll be caught up with Cloudy in no time :D

What'd you think of Sleepy Hollow? I'm not a fan of Depp, so the movie got blacklisted straight off.

Why can't people respect other peoples property? I was watching this TV show earlier tonite about car thieves and they did an interview with one, he claimed that he didn't know what was so wrong with what he did, he didn't feel sorry for the people he ripped off because he was just doin his job, same as we work in offices and stuff he works stealing cars.

I couldn't believe the guy!

Actually I've seen it before, which should tell you that I like it. Really it's atmosphere and imagery over plot and intelligence, but I'm fairly easily pleased by those things. Any movie by Tim Burton will get my attention (but Planet of the Apes was woeful)

Anyway, I think it's good, but not great!

And I like Johnny Depp! He picks different movies. He's not your standard Hollywood actor.

Aviendha.

PS : I will never catch up to Cloudy! She is far too powerful! (and online as we speak) :D

*Yawn* Nite all [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

Good, everyone should be this happy! :D

Gotta get some work done, but I'll be back later!

Cloudy

Hi guys long time!!!

We went to the province over the weekend... yeah it was kinda tragic since my girlfriends well... weren't really friends err they were just girls... it sucks but then anyways,

We were three guys, and fate was smiling upon us all. We went up there, just us three (with my mom and her bf who stayed at a hotel) to the house, managed to survive! We cooked, and boy was our cook great!!! We ate like grilled salmon belly under the stars for two nights!!! And the last night, were burgers... to think there were no salt and just pepper was amazing... we swam and got ourselves a tan.. and we watched Episode II too!!! Yeah!!! Rolling down the hill.. no wonder thee grass was sooo green!!! (get? get? :D )

HELLO??? *listens to the echo* [img]tongue.gif[/img] What pretell is everybody doing right now anyway? Nothing of interest is happening down here as usual. Unless you count the 8 hour power outage yesterday. Whee! That was fun! :rolleyes: 17 days before graduation! Yay! [img]smile.gif[/img]

*pops head in*
Hello everyone... how are things?? [img]smile.gif[/img] *sees an elated floating cloud* Hmm, I wonder what that could mean? :D
Now.. where's the mint tea?

Rolling down the hill rolling down the hill... the force is strong with that one bwahahahaha!!! :D :D :D

Hey Bahamut! Sounds like a pretty nice little vacation you had!

8 hrs without power, RBF? How did you survive without going bonkers! LOL

Talthy...*teehee* yes, well, floating works for me at the moment...sigh... [img]graemlins/1luvu.gif[/img] :D
