Well, we had this thread, until that <immature thing> deleted all of his posts and replaced them with a gif. But anyway it's still sort of legible.

Austin, Texas.

flag, that's a brilliant thread from November 8, 2012....so like 1.5 years ago. Good find. Amazingly the post has 228 comments. Not all of them are locations, but a good number.

maus5, reborn as ando, because I remember that shit. As for bfx's correction, well, my personal opinions at the time weren't favorable.

How do you like Austin - or do I remember that you don't?

I adore it.

OK, because it's one place I've been thinking about seriously visiting - there are two really good MFA programs in Austin, and I hear it's a cute liberal mecca. Not like the rest of Texas, necessarily. I'm glad to hear you like it!

Southwestern have an MFA? Or St. Ed's? I mean I suppose UT probably does, don't know if it's any good.

Austin is WONDERFUL. To take a random example, an AMA made it to the front page today from a bored Austin food truck owner who exclusively cooks artisan grilled cheeses. Because that was his dream.

Hahaha, the Michener Center for Writers (in Austin) is run by UT and if it's not in the top 10 MFA programs for poetry it's certainly in the top 25; it's a fully funded program. So it's very, very good. UT at Austin also has a program (yes they're 2 different programs even if by same university?) that is also very good. One is a 3 year program and the other is 2, I know it sounds crazy but yes, there really are two of them.

One of the reasons I ditched that identity. Really annoying when a famous person you haven't heard of uses a name similar to yours and people keep connecting non-existent dots.

Idiot might be a bit harsh, but immature would work. Might have to compile those with this thread.

Yeah, what happened there anyways? I mean I like Persona 3 as much as the next guy, but...

Oh wow, even the tab says P3.

He explained that the gif represented him killing that account (his persona). He later replaced the explanation with the gif, but for what it's worth here's the thread it was in.

True. Unfortunately it's just an adjective, but I made do.
