Erm, hola.

I archived my talk page....George, did I do it right? OreosTalkContribs 15:38, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you did do it perfectly. --GeorgeMoney T·C 18:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)


Sleep

Damn straight! Although, the Sherlock Holmes weekend has been on ITV3 since saturday morning, and I've been getting up at eight, and going to sleep at two, but I'm feeling much better since that good night's sleep on friday! I'm usually up at midnight, which is why I occaisonally just need a good night's sleep. Sergeant Snopake 16:26, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm always up at midnight on Saturday-Sunday nights, except last night. Tonight is when I'll do that as tomorrow is Memorial Day. :) OreosTalkContribs 17:15, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm up at midnight almost every night, which is probably why I'm so short! Please can we continue this conversation tommorow (if I can get on), because my brother is using this (you know how I'm not allowed my own internet connection?) and plans to use it for the rest of the day. I've just got on now, because he's doing a job he has to do (unloading the dishwasher), and as jobs are compulsory, he still got rights to use the laptop. Sorry! I'll speak to you tommorow! :) Sergeant Snopake 18:07, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I'm back! So, do you do anything special for memorial day? Or do you just not have to get up early, which is why you stay up? Sergeant Snopake 10:20, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, this time I slept on the couch, went to bed at 11:30(sadly!) and woke up at 5. At least I think so.
We usually watch the Indy 500 and stuff, but other than that nothing. My friend and I are making a spontaneous video with my mom's digital camera. It'll be really stupid. OreosTalkContribs 10:59, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Sounds fun! BTW, your dog is really cute! Here's a picture of my sister's dog. Oh, my server's been down since it started hailing over here, I tried to tell you but I couldn't save my changes. It's back now, but the connection is very temperamental, and I feel that it's starting to go again, as most pages can't be displayed... Sergeant Snopake 13:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, you could try and cover whatever is causing the problem. When it hailed over here, my internet was fine(we had golfball sized hail too!) and I even went outside. It'll probably come back on when it stops. OreosTalkContribs 13:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Crazyness

It's been rubbed off some people Will (E@) T 13:22, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I ish crazy. See? The ish isn't even English. And I talk to inanimate objects such as: CDs, cameras, pencils, binders, etc. Hey, you're from England/Britian/the U.K./I forget too, right? I wanna move there after California and Italy. Gwen Stefani has a house there somewhere...lucky....(I'm obsessed over GS for some odd reason :P) How come your siggy reads 'Will EAT'? OreosTalkContribs 13:25, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Will, Esperanza, Talk Will (E@) T 13:28, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Still kinda looks like EAT though, even though it stands for your username, Esperanza and your talk page. :P I'm going to go add something to your vandalism sandbox. Heck, Jimbo Wales edited it... OreosTalkContribs 13:30, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Attention All POTD members!

We are running out of images! We only have 2 days left of images! Please contribute to the image pages. Thanks, --GeorgeMoney T·C 01:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

They cannot be fair use. --GeorgeMoney T·C 01:54, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Copyrighted? Like an album cover? OreosTalkContribs 01:56, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Nope. --GeorgeMoney T·C 02:19, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Continuation!

That's okay! Wikipedia really sucks people in, eh? It's kinda like a space vacuum...or something shiny. You know, magpies and all that jazz. I was doing okay with IE until I started getting popups and I got so sick of them that I just tossed IE completely and got Firefox. So anyway...I live in a tiny little town called Cowpens and I'm a Latin major at a liberal arts college in Virginia. What's up with yourself? Amphytrite 01:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm just a weird, ska-obsessed geek who has an iPod and wants a dual-boot Mac Windows compy. :D If I told you how old I was, I would probably be yelled at. (Don't ask.) I have one penpal named Rocky. Erm, yeah. *plays more ska* Hey, do you like Green Day? *pokes WMUWSE userbox* OreosTalkContribs 01:29, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I love my iPod with all my heart! It goes everywhere with me, even when I don't need it, because you never know when you're going to need some good music (aka always). What kind of iPod do you have? I have a 20k fourth generation one. The only thing that bugs me is how easily they scratch! One of my friends and I are currently at penpal status, because she doesn't have internet access and we live far apart, so we keep each other appraised of what's going on by snail mail. Green Day's okay-I'm not a huge fan of theirs, but I definitely respect how much they've influenced punk music and what they bring to the table. What the heck does WMUWSE mean? Amphytrite 03:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I have 4GB iPod mini. I must admit I don't know where it is :P Snail mail is, well, kinda cool- at least you can have the joy of anticipation. :D Green Day's probably in the top five most infuential bands....take zis for example. XD However, I'm not pleased with VH1 on that....hard rock? What the ****? :O I heard No Doubt's making a new album....I'm happy about that. :) Oh, WMUWSE means 'wake me up when september ends'. OreosTalkContribs 12:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, except we aren't on a real schedule, it's more like whenever one of us gets around to writing we write! But that's okay. I really like to not think of VH1 as the all-knowing ministry of music, because looking at that list...it's really objective, because a lot of people don't think The Rolling Stones and Meatloaf (is Meatloaf REALLY on this list? *blinks*) are hard rock, as well as a bunch of other bands. The lists that VH1 pulls out of its hat are weird sometimes, to say the least. Here's to hoping that No Doubt's latest album will be as good as all the rest! Amphytrite 03:19, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi :)

Hi to you to. I added myself to your friends list, so feel free to add yourself to mine. ~Linuxerist A/C/E/P/S/T/Z 02:35, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I know, she knows everyone....anyway, you speak Latin? *mouth hangs open* I don't quite get Latin, or Scots, for that matter. Oh, can I mention you used the wrong 'to'? XDDDDDDDDDDDD :P OreosTalkContribs 12:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I do know everyone. I don't speak scots, but I understand it (I have a lot of Scottish blood). The only Latin I can speak is the last verse of O Come All Ye Faithful, which I learnt when I went carol singing a few years ago. Sergeant Snopake 13:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't speak it, but I have a good undestanding of Swedish, a little German, and a lot of Tagalog and Ilokano. (I'm half Filipino, but I don't look like it) The only Latin I know is 'draco dormiens something something' which is 'never tickle a sleeping dragon' in Latin from Harry Potter...... OreosTalkContribs 14:22, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Latin is pretty fun. Mostly I can read it write now, writing is a bit of a struggle. Scottish and Spanish I can speak quite well. Scottish is a lot of fun! :) ~Linuxerist A/C/E/P/S/T/Z 15:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh, aye. I once had to do a Scottish accent for a play I performed in. I thought it was an awful accent, but quite a lot of people thought I was really Scottish. Sergeant Snopake 16:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Ah, that is quite funny. :) Many people, upon telling them I can speak some Scottish, think it is a mere accent in itself. :( LINUXERIST@ 21:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, but you've got to really speak it to pull it off (which I don't). Sergeant Snopake 17:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Attention All POTD members!

Wikipedia:Random picture of the day (formerly User:GeorgeMoney/potd) has been nominated for deletion by Hetar because he doesn't like a rule that could have just been discussed on the talk page instead of nominating it for deletion. Please vote on the MfD page. Thanks, GeorgeMoney T·C 15:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

A very sad thank you

Thank you for your vote in my recent RFA. At 43/43/14, I decided it was best to withdraw. I will wait until another time for an RFA. Thanks again, ILovePlankton 03:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Evil!

Here is an 6/6/6, aka Evil Day, greeting for you friend. These type of messages promote WikiLove in an unknown way. Spread this evil love to others by making a derivative work of this... Or another evil something that is flowing about. LINUXERIST@ 19:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

It is destiny. --GeorgeMoney T·C 00:32, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

George, did you have too much coffee today...? Or have you just lost it? XD Aloha and good evening. OreosTalkContribs 00:34, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Userpage

Hey, look at this! I guarantee you will be pleasently surprised (I think I just spelt guarantee wrong...and probably a bunch of other words...) Sergeant Snopake 22:43, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

YAY! I desperately need a new userpage...you spelled it right, but 'pleasently' is spelled 'pleasantly', I guess. OreosTalkContribs 22:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, you're right, it is. I'm just so tired... Sergeant Snopake 23:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Oreos, would you like for me to put in a request for a page design there? Thetruthbelow 23:23, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

User Page design

I saw your message on one of our designers pages on the new Design wikiproject. Do you know how to request a design? Thetruthbelow 23:01, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, I obviously do, I just didn't request. I was at the movie watching Nacho Libre, and then I went to the supermarket on account of *we need some more food* and I picked up a tabloid on Gwen Stefani's new baby, and then I realized that the wikiproject is *poof* deleted...*sighs, but looks at magazine and smiles happily at the picture of Gwen* OreosTalkContribs 02:07, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

The Wikiproject is back up if you want to request a page.Thetruthbelow 02:29, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

For me, it's not...Oh, and you can choose between calling me Rachel, Domenica(my alter ego) or Meria. (my other alter ego XP) OreosTalkContribs 02:49, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Its not working on your computer? Thats strange. Thetruthbelow 03:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Probably because my compy is sick of listening to iTunes and Green Day 24/7/365...are you talking about [page]? *kicks head with a tabloid* OreosTalkContribs 03:09, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
No I am talking about this page. That was a bad link that you had there. Thetruthbelow 03:13, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Meep. I put my name on there with a little comment. :) Well, eh, yeah. Hey, can I design a userbox that reads 'WP:UPD designed my userpage' or something? :D I've already made at least 2 userboxes for myself. (The only ones I can think of are the Hollaback Girl one and one about autism...) OreosTalkContribs 03:18, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject

What would you like on your user page? Thetruthbelow 19:31, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Erm....well, the flag of Italy & it's color scheme(#008D46, #FFFFFF & #D2232C), this picture somewhere, and about 2 places for me to put my junk in. :D I'd like it if it resembled Sergeant's a little, but kind of like Bananagirl's. :) OreosTalkContribs 20:17, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Design

Darn, I was too late in coming to design your page. :( You might want to remove the fair use image though. ―Linux|erist 20:29, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Aw. I like that pic....oh well. :P OreosTalkContribs 20:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
You can probably find something that will work on commons. ;) ―Linux|erist 20:49, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Yep- I've already stuck [Image:Gwen-Stefani.jpg this] on a page of mine. The uploader's page said it was pretty much free to use, so, yeah. OreosTalkContribs 20:50, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

definetly not done

but I am close to being done —The preceding unsigned comment was probably by Thetruthbelow (talk • contribs) , but Rachel doesn't know because she hasn't checked the page history yet.

Finished!!!! What do you think? Thetruthbelow 20:49, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
T3h awesome. :D OreosTalkContribs 20:51, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh, one more thing- I recall looking at the about me page with that little show thing with my notes, like where it says 'I am not Eisenhower's sockpuppet' and stuff. Any idea what happened to it? Looking at the page history, I don't see it anymore.... OreosTalkContribs 20:55, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
I love "t3h" :P ―Linux|erist 03:03, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm putting that stuff on another page

Just noticed that, don't worry, I will fix it. Thetruthbelow 20:57, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok. :D I'd appreciate it if you could make a link to it on my subpages page, so I can keep track of it. :) *runs off for a minute to look at the POTD* OreosTalkContribs 20:58, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
I actually made it a new link at the top of the page. It was easier for me to do. Got any questions abou the design that you dont understand? Thetruthbelow 21:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Nope. :D Thanks so much. :) I am really bad at CSS but I'm good at HTML and the Wiki format.... Thanks again. :) Hey, you didn't reply when I asked, but can I make a userbox that reads 'this userpage was designed by the wikiproject userpage design committee'? I love making userboxes. :D OreosTalkContribs 21:07, 17 June 2006 (UTC)


I also did some formatting changes. How do you like my changes? --GeorgeMoney T·C 21:10, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

They're awesome. I've been obsessed over curvy edges the past few days. I'll end up changing the color scheme of them, however... OreosTalkContribs 21:13, 17 June 2006 (UTC) P.S. I can't get the song No Hay Igual out of my head.......
Sure you can go ahead and make a userbox, and I will put it on your userbox show/hide box on your about page. Once you have made it, post it on my talk page and I will put it on the project page if i Like it. Thanks, Thetruthbelow 21:15, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Your sig

Could I please ask you to tone down the size of your signature?Because this:

<FONT COLOR="#800000">[[User:Oreos|O]]</font><FONT COLOR="#000000">[[User:Oreos|r]]</FONT><FONT COLOR="#e6e6e6">[[User:Oreos|e]]</FONT><FONT COLOR="#666666">[[User:Oreos|o]]</FONT><FONT COLOR="#4c1900">[[User:Oreos|s]]</FONT></FONT><sup><font size="1"><Font color="#800000">[[User_Talk:Oreos|Talk]]</font></font></sup><sup><font size="1"><font color="#800000">[[Special:Contributions/Oreos|Contribs]]</font></font></sup>

Is really a lot of unnessecary space your taking up. Please consider WP:SIG. — The King of Kings 21:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm actually in the middle of redesigning it at the moment, but I haven't worked on it all day as I was busy doing something outside. (Riding my bike XP) I'll hurry up and finish it now. Oreos 21:32, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Shorter, but still a little "Ugh":

<FONT FACE="arial"><FONT SIZE=2><FONT COLOR="#00ae00">[[User:Oreos|Øř<FONT COLOR="#e6e6e6">ê]]</FONT></FONT><FONT COLOR="#dc2300">[[User:Oreos|ōş]]</FONT> <SUP><font color="000000">[[User talk:Oreos|Go]]</font> <font color="000000">[[FIFA_World_Cup_2006|Italia!]]</font></SUP></FONT></FONT>

See when the sig reaches over 4 lines to write the sig, thats when it becomes to big. There is 320 (give or take 10 maybe) characters to complete you signature. 200 is considered to be a little much, much less the 300 mark. Try removing the mention to FIFA World Cup 2006, and maybe less font color changes and maybe it will bring it down to a better mark. :P — The King of Kings 21:53, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok. :D Øřêōş Go Italia! 21:55, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Fixed. However, for some reason the link won't work... ØřêōşGo Italia! 21:57, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Still pretty long, but ehh.. I give up :p — The King of Kings 22:55, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Would you mind just making it one colour maybe? I don't object to being original, it just gets somewhat in the way sometimes... :-\ ―Linux|erist 03:01, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree...it's being kind of a bother because I ended up changing the color scheme from George's edits. :P I'll attempt to change it, unless it doesn't work out or something. Currently I have a long sig....I wonder how long Audacity's is.... *pokes his sig with a stick* ØřêōşGo Italia! 13:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

nice Changes

I like what you did. I also like the userbox. Since I am going a way for a while, why don't you show it to Moe Epsilon, who is another founder of the project. Thetruthbelow 22:08, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I will be happy to help as well. :) ―Linux|erist 19:16, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 :D Well, eh, yeah. :) I stuck the userbox at UPDCUserbox. I might adjust it eventually, but I'll think of something. ØřêōşGo Italia! 19:22, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, I just wanted to know if you liked my work for your page. I think what you changed looked great, but I was wondering if you were unhappy with my original design. Thetruthbelow 19:31, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
I think your original design was great! I simply just made changes. I still have a lot to learn from you, anyway. :) ØřêōşGo Italia! 19:39, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

We haven't talked in a while...

No, we haven't. I was meaning to, but I guess I never got round to it. Sorry! I love your new sig, by the way! So, you speak Italian, huh? That's pretty damn cool! Isn't my sister's dog cute? He is so adorable! At least, I think so...maybe I'm biased! Do you ever get the urge to add loads of commas in, everywhere? I do. I've had to go through this comment over and over, removing them. I use commas too much anyway, but I'm a lot worse when I'm tired...for instance, I almost put: So, you speak, Italian, huh? earlier. What's your favourite punctuation mark? Sergeant Snopake 18:00, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Grazie! Io non so molto, sebbene. (Thanks! I don't know a lot, though.) He IS so adorable! The June 2 pic is my dog, taken in our driveway when I was messing with a camera. :D I don't really get the urge to put in 60,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 commas everwhere(XD) but I do often find myself using a lot of parentheses. (I like to write chatty. SEE?! There it goes again.) Therefore, my favorite punctuation mark is the parenthese. (That is the singular word, right?) Bene, sì... (Well, yeah.) ØřêōşGo Italia! 18:22, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, your dog is really, really cute. My dad doesn't allow us to have big(ish) dogs like that because they need too much exercise (apparently). And, lets face it, none of us are up to walking a dog that needs a lot of exercise, we're a pretty lazy family (especially me, but I wouldn't mind having to exercise a big dog). I wish I spoke more languages, the most I know is a few words in Japanese (from watching the Sailor Moon sub). Sergeant Snopake 21:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
My dog isn't really that big. She's about medium-sized, since we buy medium Milk Bones. I wish I knew more Italian, and I just recently learned 'sono' is the word for 'am'. In Japanese, I only know ごめんなさい, or 'gomen nasai', from a Madonna song. I still want to learn Japanese after Italian because...I guess I just do. :D I still can't figure out Inuyasha and most animes though. ØřêōşGo Italia! 21:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

"What You Waiting For?" image

While Image:Gwen stefani whatyouwaitingforscreenshot1.png is a very good image, do you know of the location for others? I was thinking of adding one with Stefani sitting inside the giant house that was first introduced into pop culture with Alice in Wonderland. —Eternal Equinox | talk 23:33, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

No, I don't. (Or really know what you mean by 'location for others' :P) If you mean some uploaded pictures that were deleted, you should probably check the file history of the single's article. :) If there's nothing there, I'll be happy to upload some screens, like her in the house. :) ØřêōşGo Italia! 23:55, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
What I meant to ask was if you knew of a website that had good-quality images of the What You Waiting For? video. —Eternal Equinox | talk 23:59, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure you just can't take images off of a website and stick it on Wikipedia, whether they're owned by the RIAA or whatever. Either way, not really. ØřêōşGo Italia! 00:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
That's fine. —Eternal Equinox | talk 00:21, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I can make another screen if you want. ØřêōşGo Italia! 00:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh? You can make them? Excellent! Could you get one of Stefani in the house and one of Stefani searching for inspiration in writing? —Eternal Equinox | talk 00:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I can only make one tonight, unfortunately- I have to go to sleep soon. I'll get to work on it pronto. ØřêōşGo Italia! 00:32, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello again. While I do enjoy Image:Gwen stefani whatyouwaitingforscreenshot2.PNG, would it be possible if you could overwrite this file with an image of Stefani's entire body in the house? You don't have to do this, but it'd be appreciated. —Eternal Equinox | talk 23:31, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Sadly I cannot today. I had a power outage at my house, and I couldn't use it for very long, so can you wait till tomorrow? ØřêōşGo Italia! 01:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes. —Eternal Equinox | talk 14:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
I think that's all! Thanks for your help! —Eternal Equinox | talk 19:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
