That's very nice! What exactly did you base it on?

Hell yeah! Usually I'll have a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk or something else like chips or crackers.

I'm in the process of RP-ing with a friend.

I've currently got this Sparta remix stuck in my head.

Man, am I the only one who's got a remotely positive outlook for the future? DAESH will be defeated no later than 2020. Remnants of DAESH will persist for a while longer, but will be unable to regroup and retake territory and will go the way of FARC. Cuba and the U.S. will strengthen their trade and diplomatic relations. Nicolas Maduro will be booted out of office during the next Venezuelan election. Putin will fall from power in Russia as its economy continues to worsen due to the effects of sanctions and depressed oil prices. With Russian support in doubt, Assad will be forced to make peace with the Syrian opposition and a U.N. Transitional government will be established in Syria. The war in the Donbass will end in a Ukrainian victory. Ukraine will be forced to recognize Russian control of the Crimea, but aside from some harsh words, relations between the two states will remain peaceful. Libya will successfully drive DAESH from its territory and finally begin make good on the promise of the Libyan revolution. Tunisia will continue to successfully experiment with Democracy. Kim Jong-Un will be booted out of power in a Chinese-backed coup. Trump will lose the 2016 election in a landslide to a Clinton-Warren ticket. The Republican Party will either start to move towards the center or will go the way of the Whig Party and collapse. Due to health issues, President Clinton will resign after her first term and Vice President Warren will go on to win two terms. Healthcare reform will continue, with the U.S. eventually adopting the Bismarck model in the mid-2020's. China's economy will stagnate, much as Japan's has. India, meanwhile, will take China's place as the world's fastest growing economy. The U.S. will stop unconditionally supporting Israel (it's already started to happen under Obama) and will press for a peaceful solution to the Palestinian conflict through the use of economic sanctions. Saudi Arabia will begin diversifying its economy and will make "token" reforms in order to avoid the fate of Libya, Syria or Yemen. Steps will continue to be taken by the nations of the world to combat climate change. People in this thread will tell me I'm delusional and that I should stop viewing the world through rose-tinted glasses. I don't think Putin's regime will last beyond the next five years or so: it's already showing signs of rot after barely two years of economic sanctions. Likewise, DAESH will not outlast this decade, nor will it take over the Middle East. It doesn't have the resources to do so. North Korea is probably the only issue I agree with you on, but even there, I think Kim Jong-Un will be ousted in a palace coup before he can do anything too stupid.

I like different aspects of both. There are things I like about the country that you can't get in the city and there are things I like about the city that you can't get in the country. It isn't so much a city-country divide for me as it is a "places I wanna live-places I don't wanna live" divide. I loved living in Rochester, but I absolutely despised living in Tampa. I think it was the heat and the sprawl (as well as the fact Tampa was the first place I've ever lived where I was accused of being an illegal alien) that made Tampa a less enjoyable place for me to live than here or Rochester.

My personal favorite dessert happens to be Flan. It has to be good Flan, mind you - no air bubbles or burnt caramel allowed!

I've been officially diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I'm pretty much a live-action, genderswapped version of Twilight Sparkle.

Argh. I saw that skit a while back. Not one of CollegeHumor's finest, that's for sure.
