Sullen? Most of the people I've known who work there have been the exact opposite. Might just have been the people I know though.
Yeah, I'm recalling near 10 year old memories here, so I have no real clue.

I don't know how well known this is, but I just happened to notice it on both Oliver and company and Fantasia now. If you have the volume turned part of the way up to where things are audible that usually aren't, it gets really interesting if a tape is fully rewound. I swore I heard something and rewound on one, sure enough there's a telephone sound if you pay good enough attention :lol:

The telephone noise is the slave machine in the duplication room starting.

Looked into volunteering today, and there's this NGO about supporting women who have been the victims of violence (either domestic abuse or rape ect.).

Apparently I need a degree in social issues to volunteer....

No my dear NGO, you aren't looking for volunteers you are looking for someone to work without getting paid....which yes, is volunteering, but you get what I mean :lol: .

You don't upload what is basically a job ad in a volunteer database :P

Ok i've got to admit the original One Piece theme, is so amazing still....(and i mean the Japanese version not the stupid 4kids version). Utada is also still good too don't know why I haven't listened to any of her stuff lately....Just hate that she's on hiatus but at least she's still writing stuff :D

Is that place still a dying mall or did it finally die yet? I used to live across the street from the mall, well I was across the street from Lane Bryant but that's just right down the street not even a hundred yards.

Normally I'd have a joke about living across the street from a Lane Bryant but I'm coming up blank right now.

Southpoint is the biggest mall in the Durham area. You're probably thinking of South Square, which died years ago (RIP Tilt Arcade, loved that place). South Square now exists as a shopping center anchored by a Target and other retailers.
