This thread is for the following purposes:

• Vacation Notices
  

• Announcing your absence due to vacation or other reasons ahead of time.
  
  
• Landmark Posts
  For instance, "I just got 1,000 posts;" any post dealing with a post milestone (hundreds, generally).
  
  
• "I'm back" Posts
  Announcing your return to the forums after a long (a few days at least) absence.
  
  
• Birthdays
  Announcing that it is your birthday, or congratulating someone on theirs.
  
  
• Name Changes
  Announcing that your name has been changed.
  
  
• Personal Events
  Announcing important moments in your personal life.

This is NOT a spam topic. Any posts consisting of one word (i.e. "Hey" or "Cool") or anything of that nature, will be deleted. No flaming will be tolerated either. If you must settle something by fighting, do it outside of ZU. In addition, this is not a chat topic; that is, don't get into stupid and short discussions with no purpose.

And of course, as always, the ZU forum rules still apply.

Also, if you see that your topic is on this list, post it in here, rather than giving it its own topic. Any topics that are supposed to be in the CT will be merged.

And finally, a word to staff: when merging topics with the CT, if there is a poll in the thread, do not merge the threads. The CT will then have an un-deletable poll. If the topic has a poll, lock it and tell the author to post the info in here instead.

Well I am the first person to post (hooray), I guess I can annouce that my birthday is August 21 which is really close from now, and I just started school yesterday, and I am a freshman in 9th grade.

Happy (very) early birthday lord Ganon! I am a freshman as well. It is makes me very nervous.

Three words jabronies-

I started high school two days ago.

Mirren, first congratulations for the big 5000. You finally made it, but you aren't leaving, are you? >.>
Please don't... Also, you suck for going to school late. I have to go back on August 15th for University and I am a Junior.

And, it's Final's Dream Birthday!! ^^
So happy birthday my friend!

As the announcement was clouded with the merging and deletion of the previous community thread, I shall state it again.

Holy crap! I've been here for over two years, and I didn't really notice!

Well, after the first year Link of the Hylians died......then so must Xeranos.

THE LAST POST BY XERANOS!

(funny how I've made two posts since saying that the first time)

Sucks to see that your going Xeranos. Well seeya around. Great for you Mirren. The big 5-0...00.. Yeah.

Oh no no. I'm here to stay. Xeranos is just going to die. He'll be replaced by a new name, with new stuff.

See, I change each year, my personality and whatnot. Why then shouldn't my online persona, the very reflection of who I am (at that time), change with me?

I'm here to stay (for a while at least). But Xeranos is gonna die.


-sigh-

Try this one more time... THE LAST POST BY XERANOS! BUT FOR REAL THIS TIME!

Congrats on 5000, Mirren. I'll be there soon. Or not.

I go back to school the 24th of this month. Of course, I get out mid-May, so I'm not complaining.

my birthday is the 29th, yea, i will be 16

What? No graphics? Darn lazy people.

I suppose I'm back, semi-ish, because it seems that when I leave for a few days the forum goes up in flames and the place needs one active admin doing stuff.

I'd still like to put off things like the BA and such until later, but I guess I could get around to it instead of relaxing. Me and my lazy self >_>...

Wow....I'm gone for two weeks and there's already a new Community Thread? Creepy....Anyway,I was off in Montana. At first,the final destination was Glacier National Park. We had to stay at some random places overnight,but we just hapenned to be going through South Dakota,and saw Mt. Rushmore and later,we saw Yellowstone. We then went through Wyoming for a reason I do not know. Once we got to Glacier,we stayed in a KOA. It was pretty nice,for a Kamping Kabin. I was kind of bummed that you have to walk such a dang long way to go to the bathroom! I mean for God's Sake,why couldn't they have an outhouse,orlet you go in the woods?!?! Bah whatever. I missed ZU and TT and video games A LOT.(And I'm sure other's would,too) Later,we took a hike,yadda yadda yadda,we came to a motel in apgar village,we had a TV that had four stupid channels,yadda yadda yadda,we go to a different KOA in East Glacier. Then we take a 4-mile hike,all up-hill,then a 7-Mile hike that was all uphill,then the hardest one ever....a FIFTEEN MILE HIKE,that was nearly mountain climbing at the beginning(you go around a mountain holding onto a string)And then after about 5-Miles we come to a bunch of boulders and have "lunch" there. Then we run uphill a couple miles,and Horse Flies and Bull Flies are swarming me. I ran up the moutain,all the way to the top,and then I was exahsted...I had made it to the chaley,and that helped to it's minimum. I waited for my family,and we had all the food we had left. That,was ONLY the beginning. When we went down,it was all uphill,and we were going DOWN the mountain. Then we came to steep ridges on the side of a moutain again,this time,without even the string.....We went down,and all were exahsted,especially me. Then it was all flat,and the path kept getting smaller,pretty soon,it was out of sight. Then we saw it. We did that until we found a moose,and two Grizzly Bears. They were on the path before,and there were huckleberries,EVERYWHERE. We then walked for miles and miles until we came to a man going the opposite way as us. He said it's one-hour to the end. At that moment,I thought I was about to die. I was beyong exahstion,there were bear sightings,we had to catch the shuttle,oh god.......then it went like that for another lot of miles,and we came to a lake. I dunked myself in it,and got my walking stick wet,because it would cool me down after my body was dry. Then we went on,found a few bridges,and other than that,nothing interesting hapenned,really. Then we finally found a sign that said where we had to go,we were almost there! I ran as fast as I could to the end(which wasn't all that fast,really)and fell back when we came to the end. And belive me,that trail is worse when you do it. After that all we did,really was hang out,and crap like that. When you get past the hardships,it was pretty cool. I'm just glad to be back,though.

And how could I forget this? Happy Birthday to me!(It was on the 27th,but....)

Note to Everyone: I will be going away for two weeks, starting Friday; I'm leaving for P.E.I., then New Brunswick(For all you Americanians, those are provinces in Canadia).

New Community thread huh? Cool .

YAY!!! 450 posts, thats a big number. And I don't post very often.

Yes, congrats on 5,000 posts, Mirren. Hope I get that many someday. (Though I seriously doubt it) Anyway, congrats.

Oh I'm so skied for tomorrow (well, maybe not to much)! It's my birthday and Madden 06 might come out tomorrow instead of Tues.

Meanwhile I went to a wedding yesterday. First one as well. It wasn't as boring as I thought it would be as well I guess.

Please pay close attention to the rules of this thread. I know that in the past there have been times when they weren't enforced; however, I fully intend to follow through on them this time.

Well, I would like to say that I am back from my trip to the Big Apple. It was so much fun! I went with my Grandma and my sister. We went to the United Nation HQ first, since that was only about four blocks from the hotel that we were staying at. I learned a lot of stuff there. Then we saw The Phantom of the Opera. On Broadway. It was awesome! Although the music was nothing like the original recording (it never is, is it?). The next day, my Grandma surprised my sister and me by taking us to see another musical- Avenue Q. My sister and I have wanted to see that musical for the longest time. That musical is hilarious! Even if it did use some...."colorful" language. And here's the part where I will show you picture of New York City:

...Oh yeah, I forgot a camera...but here's the playbill covers of Avenue Q and The Phantom of the Opera:

Avenue Q

That about wraps up what I did.
