I'm flattered, I actually thought it was a crappy comparison.

I feel like your signature is a vague reference to something...I just can't quite put my finger on it.

It kind of reminds me of the one in Penumbra, but that's "For it is better to have seen a story through to it's end, then to have it of never started", or something along those lines.

My computer can play all heroes games

I have Skype!

Add me Spur! doughboy_1 ... shut up

Yay, i have a friend on skype

There sure was a lot of nonsense in the olympics. Especially Shin A-Lam's loss. That was just retarded.

I don`t care about the olympics. i never care about sports unless i`m playing myself.

I'm trying to decide if I want to take the long train ride north today for my favourite macarons, or just walk the five minutes to a closer patisserie for okay macarons... (@￣ρ￣@)

...Or I could actually make my own macarons. Though I've never been successful at making them in the summer due to the humidity.

What is a macaron?

Macaroons maybe? I dunno, I'm lost.

No, not coconut macaroons. I don't like those. French macarons. They are almond meringue cookies.

NEver seen anything like them.

They are my favourite sweets ever~ ♡

If you haven't tried one yet, you should!

They're melty in your mouth when made well if I recall correctly

They don`t exist in finland

It depends. For me, I am very picky about macarons. Some places make them melty (MoRoCo Chocolat in Toronto) - where the texture is soft and consistent throughout the whole bite. But that's like eating a whoopie pie... Those ones are probably fresh out of the oven.

Places like Ladurée (Paris and NYC, I'm so jealousssss) however, have their macarons age for a day before selling them. So the outside shell should be crispy and the inside cake-y, then the filling's texture would depend on whatever they decide to go with.

There was one day that I went nuts and bought macarons from four different shops just to compare... LOL

And these are the ones I made back in April for my roller derby friend's first game of the season:

I was pretty proud of myself! *___*

But I can't make them myself in the summer. They go flat and gooey from the humidity...

'they look like burgers

I've tasted them once. They were ok.

i`m jealous.

They seem like they'd be pretty nice but they look crazy sugary though, maybe overly so

Perhaps.
Where have you been all day?

It depends on which flavours you get. I like the fruity ones with jam filling. The tartness of the jam usually cuts the sweetness of the cookies for me.
