The movie “Sissi” (about Empress Elisabeth of Austria) is considered a Christmas movie in Europe because she was born on Christmas Eve. Honestly, that’s kind of a stretch since there is no Christmas celebration in the movie (that I recall). Then again, I guess there weren’t that many Christmas movies in 1950s Europe.
 
I really don't understand fruitcake's negative reputation...the stuff tastes fine to me!

not sure if you can download it anymore. but if you had a computer running windows xp today, i think you would be limited to what you can do with it since it's so outdated.
 
Lol I was responsible for updating our computers to a new system at my last job like four years ago. Most of the computers were still running Windows 7 but we had a few still running XP! I was shocked. So I had to update every computer to Windows 10 (which was a massive undertaking because the company owner DID NOT want to spend any money and I had to explain over and over the new system WOULD NOT WORK unless we updated).

Then the day of I had to clock in super early and make sure the new system downloaded to the computers and everything was operable since no one else at the company knew how to do anything other than send an email. I mean, I had to teach my boss how to attach a pic to an email. Lol I'm no computer genius which is what made it worse knowing I was the one responsible for us being up and running on time that morning across both locations.

I was basically constantly fixing stuff for my coworkers "My printer isn't printing!" The company owner had me fix his watch one time when the time changed "Hey... you're good with computers right?" "Um..." "Great! Can you fix my watch?" *Removes watch and hands it to me* Another time the owner called me to his office all secretive just to ask me to download some pictures from a thumb drive to his computer.
 
Last night I remembered Kasey the Kinderbot, and it got me thinking…I had a cute toy laptop that helped me learn letters? I thought it was called Alpha-Bot, and I clearly remember it having big eyes and black stuff on a gray screen, as well as little pictures on each key of the keyboard. One time it got on low battery and its voice got so deep and slow it scared me lol.

But, lo and behold, it was called Alpha-BERT and I found someone selling it online! I was like, “See, I KNEW that was real!”

Holy crap! I hadn't thought about it in years. I had a similar toy. I had one of these:

A YouTuber I watched just said he was going to make a video ranking every Futurama episode (he’s done this for a lot of shows like South Park, The Simpsons, SpongeBob, etc), and that made me realize… I’m still on season 7 lol. 😭 To be fair, it doesn’t have that many seasons, the issue is just that I haven’t watched the show since July. Same with The Simpsons, I’ve been on the 9th season since then. I really need to catch up.
 
I sent a picture of Dick Cheney when he was younger to my sister and told her to guess who it was she couldn't guess who so I just gave her the answer. Then she asked me what Dick Cheney did, and then I started telling her a little bit about him. I even asked her if she thought young Dick Cheney was hot lol! 😏🤭
 
I moved back to my old town last year and I've noticed it's much more diverse than it used to be. When I first moved here it was 88% white according to the census, but I don't think that's the case anymore. When I visited Portland a few weeks ago it was more diverse than when I lived there too. It's nice to see since I know a lot of people who move to Oregon from other states say online it's not as diverse as where they're from.
 
I know Capcom doesn’t really give a **** about Mega Man anymore, but when is Mega Man X9 going to come out? X8 came out in two decades ago so I feel like there should be a new numbered installment.
 
I always liked knights.

If I'm playing any sort of RPG with customization, there's a 99% chance I'm creating a knight. Ever since I was a child I was fond of knights.

So I guess my username does hold some sort of meaning ^^
