Welcome
Hi, welcome to How to Train Your Dragon Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the File:Hiccup-jay-baruchel-how-to-train-your-dragon.jpg page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Station7 (Talk) 13:21, September 22, 2012

Nice to see another adult httyd fan. Like you, I really admire Hiccup and identify with him. I had no idea that other people around my age had that same feeling. With how much you seem to like the movie, I hope you will help us make this a high quality wiki. I think the reason I liked the movie so much is because I can so easily identify with its main character. Really cool to hear someone else say that. Glad to have you on our wiki.Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 14:08, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

The images you uploaded are really nice quality. I can't take hd screenshots because I am using a macintosh computer. It has no bluray player so I am stuck with the dvd. It's a real shame that the tv show is not playing in Germany. I am American, so I can access it pretty easily. I wonder if you could get it through iTunes. Over here you can buy a season pass.

Funny to see httyd in German. Hicks is an interesting name....Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 23:06, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

Transcript editing
Thanks! I've can sure work on the transcripts, but transcripts aren't my thing so I'll work on it when I can. It'll be hard because I'll have to review Gift of the Night Fury in detail, but I'll sure do it.

hey, I saw you have a program where you can take pics of movies/shows, can you get better images for some dragons on Book Of Dragons? (notabily the Snaptrapper). And if i misunderstood then tell the person who does have it to plz

Program for taking pics from movies
Hi there,

I just use the VLC-player. You can stop the video and take a snapshot by right clicking -> video -> take snapshot.

@Salience72: Thanks :•) I think, it's pretty detailed as it is. Only very few changes are required.

Greetings!

AddyD (talk) 04:49, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

Wow. Great images
The Hd images you have uploaded are a great contribution! I have a program that can take screenshots, but I use a mac and it does not allow Blu Ray or HD dvd's to be used. I love some of these pics and I will be replacing my standard definition ones with your far supeior hd ones. Thanks very much for posting them! Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 00:56, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Thaks also for the download advice. It is much appreciated. I currently have over 480 httyd images. Whether they are official wall papers or screenshots from the series and movie, they are all really nice to have. Your images are great because, as you said, they are ideal for wallpapers or slideshows. Thanks again. If you ever want to take more, I have some moments that I really like, and they would be great to have HD shots of. I might could post an standard definition screenshot, and then you could easily find that moment in the movie. Just an idea. If it is any trouble then don't worry about it.Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 01:39, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Generally, it's no Problem. But as soon as there is a lot of movement, the screenshots become blurry. We could give it a try anyway. Maybe you could post the time-position in the movie too, so that I don't have to search for it that long.

Greetings, AddyD (talk) 10:17, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Ok. I only have one in mind at the moment and it is pretty close to one of yours. here it is. It is at 31:27 aproximately in the film. I like it slightly more than the moment you posted close to it. This is mostly due to the fact that Hiccup is looking more cheerful and Toothless is leaning in closer to him. As I said, if it is a problem, don't bother yourself.Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 14:43, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Here we go :)

Greetings, AddyD (talk) 21:54, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I love that part. I am using it as my wallpaper now. If there is ever a favor you would like, I would be happy to try and help. Thanks again.Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 22:52, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome :)

Well... I'm really curious about your "custom leather book of dragons journal" which you recently mentioned. How about sharing some pictures of it?

Greetings, AddyD (talk) 05:25, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment on the journal. I like your sheep. They are actually really unique to the httyd world, and I like their personallity. I haven't drawn many though. Might do that for fun sometime. I will post more images from my journal if you want to see them.Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 21:30, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

Can't wait for more images to come!

I'm currently working on decyphering the runic script in your journal ;)


 * edit: Do you want me to hint you to some little spelling mistakes? ;)

Greetings, AddyD (talk) 21:34, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

About the mistakes: Sure. Fire away. Having it in Runic script does help keep most people from noticing them! About the link to your page, I really appreciate it, but I can't get on that site. My filter blocks it. Someday I may get an account, and then I will be sure to look it up. I got the image so you can remove the link.Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 23:43, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

Alright... Took me a while to write them all down, but this journal is worth contributing some hours of work from me too ;)

Just follow the link (expires in 24h, so you should copy it)

Greetings, AddyD (talk) 22:09, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. It is much appreciated. I must apologize though, because I cannot open the link. Once agin my internet filter blocks it. I am thnkful to have a strong filter, and this is just one of those things that happens. If you could perhapse get it in a different form or put it on this site. It is blocking that site for unknown reasons, and I would really like to improve the journal with your suggestions. Sorry. I am sure it is a pain. Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 23:12, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

Alright... for me, such a filter would really drive me crazy, as I don't like to be restricted in any way. Maybe that's because I'm studying computer science...

Well... another suggestion: You still have the picture with the runic url? Just take the last 13 characters and append "@gmx.de". I hope you are at least allowed to send and receive emails ;)

Just write a short mail and I'll respond in no time :)

Greetings, AddyD (talk) 05:52, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks I sent it. Also please do not use any bad language (even if it is mild). I don't want to offend, and I don't want to boss, but it does bother me. Also, it is probably not great for our younger wiki community (or even us) to use any sort of bad language. I hope you will understand and agree. Thanks again for the help! Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 03:14, November 8, 2012 (UTC)

You're right again ;)

Normally, I don't use bad language at all, but I really dislike such filters you seem to be bound to. As long as you are aware of possible risks and care about what you do in the internet, there is no need for such a thing. I mean... It even blocks facebook. Why is this? Over one billion pepole worldwide use fb and I see absolutely no reason, why this should be blocked. Okay... I'm getting steamed up about it again...

Meanwhile, you should have received the file with the changes. I'm happy seeing that working and to have a common "secret language". Reading your journal is a pleasure and although I'm neither native to english language nor to runic script, I can read it like an ordinary newspaper by now ;)

To improve the quality of your pictures, you should try to use far more light. I don't know if you have anything other to take photos than your iPhone, but if i had the choice between a camera (which is built as a camera) or a cell phone-camera (which is build as an additional feature to a cell phone) I'd chose the camera in any case. Yeah... Again I have to admit, that I'm kind of pampered with my Nikon DSLR-camera. I don't expect you to deliver quality equal to this, but some parts of your journal were really, really hard to read.

Don't get me wrong. I really apreciate your work and I'm thankful for every picture. It's only a suggestion.

All the best greetings from Meißen, Germany AddyD (talk) 07:39, November 8, 2012 (UTC)

Haha... It's been 4 months and 4 days now! Who ever reads this and wondered, why this conversation ended here that apruptly: We switched to using emails only. Well... Those more than 850 mails, that we've been sending each other wouldn't have fitted here anyway ;)

Thanks Toothless the Nightfury for being such a great friend!

Can't wait to meet you this summer :D

Dragonific greetings from berkish Dresden (-3.5°C, snowy), your viking friend Addy the polar bear

HD Pics
Hey thanks for making my pics in HD! :) but how do you do it though edditing? Mastermiine (talk)

You're welcome :)

How I do this? Well... I open the picture, select "Upload newer version", then go to the exact same spot in the movie, take a snapshot, select it as new version and upload it ;)

Easy peasy lemon squeezy (As Cressida Cowell wrote it in the books repeatedly.) ;)

AddyD (talk) 00:56, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Where do you get to watch Riders of Berk in HD quality? I get to see it, but it is not HD. --Anna312 (talk) 17:29, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

You could either check iTunes or Amazon, if you're from the U.S.

Otherwise... Well... I waited for them to appear on youtube or similar sites, where pepole uploaded them, because RoB episodes are not available in germany at all.

AddyD (talk) 17:33, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

Droginific greetings :)
Hey, not that I could not have mailed you, but I was already on the wiki! The short story is complet! Feel free to read the final chapter! I hope you like how it ends. It was pretty tricky to think it all out, but I really like it! Thanks for your nice comment also, and feel free to leave more. Who knows, maybe if I cleaned up the grammar really good the grapevine might even show it (not that the grapevine is better than our wiki!)Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 03:33, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

The end of your short story is as awesome as the previous 7 chapters :)

Good job! I bet, the Grapeviners will really appreciate the story. They have given credit to other fan-fiction before and so I think, you're on a good way to get there. Well... I wouldn't call the grapevine better or worse than our wiki. It's just completely different, isn't it? I mean, the wiki is driven by a community, which is contributing and the Grapevine is run by two or three pepole and the only chance for others to contribute is writing a comment. It's just a different approach.

Well... I'll copy the short story on my PC and start looking for mistakes in the train to university (more than 1 hour).

Okay then... I'll drop you a few more lines commenting the story and an email later today :)

Droginific greetings back to you! (Oh...Wait...Droginific? Hmmm... Well... Dragonific would work too :D )

Your viking friend AddyD (talk) 06:42, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Video
You have to see this. By the way you seem really cool. Electric Skrill (talk)

Thanks for the compliment! To be honest, this video didn't really met my taste of music. I rather like Soundtracks. Have you noticed the video, I uploaded? It's in my comment on Toothless' blogpost. I created it myself.

AddyD (talk) 22:47, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

I loved it. You made it yourself? You must be an artist I guess. I loved the music! It took a load off my mind right now. I am freaking out if North Korea is going to bomb us. The video was so calming, relaxing, and bring me a happy mood. I love music like that. I also love classical music like o fortuna or Vivaldi 4 seasons. My dad loves rap, rock, and heavy metal so it rubbed off on me. I look up to my dad and he is so cool! He also served in the Marines out in Iraq, Also I was thinking about how you and toothless send each other gifts and i felt like sending you guys presents too but I don't have money. Every where I go won't except 14 year olds and people try to rip you off when you do yard work for them. I can make you guys gifs though. By the way, whats Toothless's real name anyway, I feel weird reffering to him as Toothless. Electric Skrill (talk) 23:04, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

Well until we know you better, I think it would be best if my name remained Toothless! I do not get any snow where I live either (to answer a question you asked earlier on my talk page). Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 23:08, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

Haha... I was just writing exactly the same, when I got a notice, that Toothless answered here :D

[This is, what I've already typed: Just go with using "Toothless". As long as we both know who we're refering to, it's fine.]

I'm just busy answering your long comment on Toothless' wall. It might have come to your attention, that my english language is not the worst out there, but it's still not my native language, so it takes a little longer to write such replies. About army and stuff... Honestly I refused to go to the armed forces, even though my physical examination revealed me to be extraordinary eligible. I went to university instead and now I'm studying computer science in the 6th of 8 semesters. (So your assumption, that I would be an artist is disproved) ;) Never mind...

Nice to hear, that you appreciate my video. I'm really glad to hear, that it served to help you through those tough times. Over here we're also following the latest news pretty eagerly. I bet, it's really hard to live that near to the area of conflict. Anyway I don't think, you're in really big danger, where you live. The US-Army is obviously well prepared and really present there.

This present-sending-thing between me and Toothless should remain unparalleled. Our friendship is really A LOT more than "just" HTTYD. It's cool to read, that you're willing to spend your few money to make some other pepole happy. This is a huge sacrifice and I really appreciate it. Unfortunately for you, I won't share my free time with anyone else but Toothless. We're writing mails to each other on a daily basis and we're only 10 more mails away from the 1000th. (I'm serious!)

Oh... Just for you to know: The music I used in the movie is from "Michael W. Smith" from his album "Freedom". I really recommend to buy it. By the way: He's also a christian songwriter, so maybe that's why his music has such a calming, relaxing and happy-mood-making effect on you. This is, what christian music can do best.

Well... Back to Toothless' talk page. :D

(I should go to sleep... It's already past 1:30 AM)

AddyD (talk) 23:35, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

Oh ya that's right, you live in Germany, Its 5:30 pm where I live.

thanks
thank you for the message.

I am up to date on all of the animated HTTYD franchise and maybe one day the book series God-King of Ice Cerberus WereGarurumon (talk) You're welcome. :)

AddyD (talk) 18:36, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

hey addyD i want to ask you about something, itry to add some photos to toothless but to no avail Spark the night fury (talk) 22:35, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

Just let me know what pictures you want there. I have a collection of about 800 Full-HD snapshots from the movie, so feel free to suggest anything. (My internet connection is the fastest available in germany, so I would be done in no time.)

Greetings AddyD (talk) 22:43, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

toothless the night fury is now an admin i hope you'll be one Spark the night fury (talk) 22:45, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

Yep, he is :)

Thanks for seeing me as an admin too. I really appreciate it. Maybe... One day... But I would not mind if I'd stay a normal user forever. Becoming an admin would be really cool, but trust me... I know how hard it can be to be (or feel) responsible for a bunch of pepole. I was part of a leader team of a music-project for a long time and you can bet, that this was quite a challenge some times. I'll never forget being responsible for those almost 40 young pepole between 15 and 24 for four weeks somewhere in Kenya. Looking back, it was an awesome time, but for me it was also sort of stressful. (Just imagine running through Nairobi with 9000€ [almost 12.000$] in bank notes in your pocket, that needed to be changed into their currency!!!!!) I would consider myself being well suited to be an admin, but as I pointed out above, I wouldn't put it up as my first goal. Still... If I am offered an admin, I'd take it gladly and I'd also prove myself worthy of that title then.

Now I'm just happy for my friend Toothless :)

Greetings from Dresden, Germany AddyD (talk) 22:59, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

here they are Spark the night fury (talk) 23:28, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

Alright... I just replaced them with high quality ones. AddyD (talk) 23:39, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

Danke für die Tapeten, http://howtotrainyourdragon.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Toothless # Wallpaper.

Do you like my German. I took a few lessons last year until things got pricy. Now I know what you mean when you said writing in a different language is longer than your normal  language. That thank you took me 3 minutes! Sorry if my German is kind of bad. Electric Skrill (talk) 01:04, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

Haha :D You're welcome!

Obwohl "Tapete" die richtige Übersetzung für "wallpaper" ist, würde hier niemand zu einem Desktophintergrund "Tapete" sagen. "Wallpaper" ist völlig ausreichend. ("Tapete" ist wirklich nur das Zeug, mit dem man seine Wände dekoriert) Ein Deutsch-Student aus Kenia beschrieb das Lernen der Deutschen Sprache folgendermaßen: "Anfangs ist es wirklich sehr hart, weil man viel Vokabular und Grammatik braucht, aber sobald man diese Dinge einigermaßen kann, wird es einfacher. Die Lernkurve ist nur am Anfang steil."Ich kann das nicht beurteilen, da ich in Deutschland geboren wurde. Egal... Ich finde es wirklich gut, dass du den Versuch unternimmst, meine Sprache zu lernen. Wenn du erfolgreich bist... nunja... wer weis... Vielleicht bekommst du eines Tages die Gelegenheit hier her zu kommen um hier zu arbeiten oder zu studieren... Nebenbei ist es auch ein wenig wie Hiccup: Wie wir von den Büchern wissen, konnte er auch mehrere Sprachen. Das half ihm in vielen Situationen.

(And here my point in english) ;)

Actually even though "Tapete" is the correct translation for "wallpaper", no one would say "Tapete" for a desktop-background image. We're fine with "wallpaper" too. ("Tapete" is really only that stuff you're decorating your walls with) A german-student from Kenya once described learning german as follows: "It's really hard in the beginning, because you have to learn so many grammar and vocabulary, but once you stocked up on it, it becomes pretty easy. The learning curve is only steep in the beginning." I can't judge this, because I was born a german. Anyway... I really like your approach to learn my language. If you succeed... Well... Who knows... Maybe one day you'll get the chance to come over here, live here to work or to study... By the way: This is also pretty hiccupish: As we know from the books, he knew several languages and this knowledge helped him in many situations.

Greetings from Dresden, Germany AddyD (talk) 10:46, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

Vielen Dank AddyD. Ich werde versuchen, mehr auf meiner deutschen üben. Auch las ich einige frühere Zeug und Sie sagten, Sie waren in Kenia. Whats it like? Ich wollte schon immer dorthin gehen and um die Bullenhaie sehen? Electric Skrill (talk) 15:13, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

Please stop addressing me with the german polite form "Sie". Use "Du" instead. In english, there's no difference (Everything's "you") but in german you only address pepole of higher rank or adults if you're much younger and they didn't offer you to address them using "Du". [Man... What an odd bunch of strange sentences :D]

Well, yep, I was in Kenya. But unfortunately nowhere on the coast. How it is? I'd call it "very different from all I know". Kenya is both cool and strange.

If you'd like to continue writing me in german language (which is really funny for my taste), I'd shift all our conversation to a new blog post to prevent my talk page from getting too long. On such a blog post, you (and others) could ask me anything about german language and I'd be happy to answer it. (But please don't ask me how to pronounce the german "Ü", as there is no explanation for that) :D  --> Just say a word.

Good night and greetings from Dresden, Germany AddyD (talk) 20:53, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

Ok. I thik I am going to stop writing in German until I know it a bit better. Thank you for the German polite tip :). Also for the bull sharks, I mentioned them because they can swim in lakes and rivers ;D. Electric Skrill (talk) 05:51, April 16, 2013 (UTC)

Wiki
Hi AddyD! My wiki is going great! What do you think? If you don't like it, tell me the flaws and be BRUTALLY HONEST! Electric Skrill (talk) 07:30, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Uhm... Are you really sure you want me to be brutally honest? Well... You said so... I assume, you were serious... But don't blame me for discouraging you!

Just look at it yourself: How should I enjoy THIS?

Well... That's it so far. It was your choice. You asked me about being brutally honest, but I'll certainly have positive things to tell as well ;) I think I may check back in some months to see your progress. You'll have a lot of work left to do until you can even think of holding a candle to this wiki.
 * The Background image almost disappears on larger screens (1920 x 1200 Pixels in my case, 25.5")
 * This bluish image looks ridiculously childish. (Same for Hiccup with that speech balloon) A wiki needs to appear a little more serious
 * All your picture uploads are extremely small, so that it's hard to see what's on them
 * Those pictures, that aren't that small, are stolen taken from the grapevine without being sourced
 * Not that I would mind, but giving bureaucrat rights to almost anyone is something I wouldn't dare doing. It shows, that you're trusting those pepole, what is a good thing after all, but we've seen on the grapevine, what could happen if there is a disagreement coming up and several pepole are actually be able to even delete everything and kick you out of your own wiki... Station7 recently mentioned, that he had such an incident before. I wouldn't want you to experience this kind of stuff...
 * Even though Toothless don't mind that you take content from this wiki, you should source it at least
 * I like the way, you put effort in this project of yours.
 * You seemingly enjoy running it
 * Pretty cool idea with those achievement-badges

Sorry for all this concentrated honesty, but like I said above: It was your choice. I hope you don't mind, that I'll not take part in improving your wiki. I simply don't have time to say "yes" to everything.

Dragonific greetings from Dresden, Germany AddyD (talk) 15:26, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Thank You AddyD :D. I will try to improve and cite things. Also I didn't know the backround did that on bigger screens. On my computer, it looked so cool. Oh well, I changed it back to the original. Thank you for being brutally honest like I said! Also, you never discouraged me, the more you told me the critism. the more I got happier and looked at on what I can Improve. SirSkrill came up with almost everything on the homepage and I actually liked them and kept it. Well good bye. Thank you so much for the honesty AddyD :)! Electric Skrill (talk) 20:56, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Transcripts
Hey, amazing job on the transcripts! We really needed to work on that. Are these from the grapevine? I know I wrote one of them, but I am not sure where you got the others from. If it is directly from the grapevine we should give them some credit, but if they have been edited enough (like passed through a program you wrote or something), then they are clearly your own work. Just a thought. This really adds a lot to the wiki! Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 22:24, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Toothless :) I was just about to answer your last email :D Well... Those transcript are "sort of" from the grapevine. I copied their whole webpages and extracted those transcripts in countless hours of work from the source code of those downloaded webpages. [They have had a script built in that prevented pepole from directly copying stuff from the normal web page.] I then erased every descriptive line [Such as: "Toothless is shooting a plasma-blast at the target"], so that only the dialoges remained. Then I also replaced some spelling errors and finally put it in a form, that would fit the wiki. (Character names bold). Counting all this together, the main work was done by me. Even if we'd like to give them credit: These transcripts are no longer available on the grapevine anyway, so I think it's fine. If you disagree, I wouldn't mind to put a link to their main page... Dragonific greetings from Dresden AddyD (talk) 22:38, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

No. I think what you have done is great! I just wanted to be sure that it was not a direct copy, but obviously you have put lots of work into it. I thought you would! Man, they look great! (especially twinsanity, but I can't imagine why ;) )Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 22:42, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Haha! Thanks ;) Yep... I hope there will be some more transcripts like "twinsanity" soon ;)

Oh... The first half of "Alvin & the Outcasts" was missing on the grapevine page too, so I added it myself.

I'd really like to get a complete set of transcripts. Without them it's almost impossible to create a movie like the one I made for you. It might have come to your attention, that this video doesn't contain pieces from the last few episodes at all. Now you know, why ;) Hm... it's almost 1 AM over here, so I hope you don't mind to get my reply to your most recent email tomorrow instead of today... Have a good night! Dragonific greetings from your viking friend Addy the polar bear from Dresden, Germany

RE: Your message
This isn't personal, but I don't immediality make everyone rollback, admin or bureaucrat. User:Toothless the Nightfury deserved, because this user really worked hard on this site. Especially I don't make people rollback, admin or bureaucrat who are asking for it.

It's not a game, it's a website. I know you make here edits and I know you aren't making bad edits, but it's to fast and I have to rush in giving you a status. That's not how I work. Please don't this personal, but it's to fast. --Station7 (talk) 18:55, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

Not a problem. I told you, it's your choice in the first place. I respect your decision and the last thing I would do is to take it personally. Never mind. I just thought I could improve the wiki some with higher rights. Greetings from Dresden, Germany AddyD (talk) 19:10, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hello
Hello AddyD :D.Electric Skrill (talk) 04:42, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Addy, I heard that you will meet Toothless this summer. By the way I wish you have a good time together. Spark the night fury (talk) 22:37, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

Hello Electric Skrill and Spark :) Yes, that's right. Thank you! We have a good time already, while writing emails, wiki-edits and communicate using skype. Our encounter this summer will be awesome! 89 days left. Can't wait!  :) I bet, you've read this at our blog ;) Greetings from Dresden, Germany AddyD (talk) 05:58, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

yes you're right,my friend.nice blog Spark the night fury (talk) 13:24, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

I decided what I want to do. When I turn 17, I'm joining the military! Alright Goodbye. Semper Fi!!!! Electric Skrill (talk) 01:27, April 26, 2013 (UTC)

If it makes you happy, proud and whatsoever... Why not? Good luck! Before you think otherwise: I still don't hate you :D It's just, that I don't really care... I mean... We don't know each other good enough that it would interest me even remotely. Please don't feel bugged, offended, insulted, mad, angry or discouraged [Insert here any other sort of bad feeling]. It's just again me being brutally honest ;) Usually this wiki is not intended to be a social network. A little interaction between users concerning HTTYD-related things is a neat thing, but private stuff, like you deciding to join the armed forces or me attending a wedding in a few hours is just something that other pepole don't really care about. Something like that belongs on ones own profile-page and not on several pepoles talk pages. Well... I bet you are sort of angry at me now, but believe me: In a few more years, you'll most likely see my point. Again: Good luck!

What would you say if I started a wiki called "Fullmetal Dragonist!" Electric Skrill (talk) 05:57, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Well... You're free to do this, but I have no clue, what I would like to look for on a wiki with this name. What is your intention with it? Maybe you should consider to create a blog instead. Greetings from Dresden, Germany AddyD (talk) 20:17, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Ya your right, I should make it into a blog. Electric Skrill (talk) 20:23, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Drawings
How do you draw Toothless so good? Electric Skrill (talk) 20:45, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Wow... Thanks for that note! Well... I just adhered this piece of paper on my screen and started drawing the basic lines of it. Afterwards I took it off and continued drawing the details. It's not even too hard and the results are pretty cool. Alright... Have to sleep. My last few days have been really heavily exhausting.

Greetings from Dresden, Germany AddyD (talk) 20:48, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Thank You AddyD! Maybe I can try that on a Book of Dragons I am making. Ok Good Bye. Electric Skrill (talk) 20:52, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

hey addy.have you what that idiot wikia contributor has written i told toothless about it i think he deserve to be banned.Spark the night fury (talk) 20:17, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Well... Yes... As I've responded on Toothless's talk page, I've already taken action. Anyway... There is only one person in charge to decide about a ban: Station7. AddyD (talk) 20:20, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Someone said a bad word? I want to see! What word was it? Electric Skrill (talk) 23:03, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, someone did. Anyway... I wouldn't repeat it. AddyD (talk) 23:09, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

I see it. I am mad and laughing at same time!!!!! I guess I'm still a little immature! Well anyway, I'm glad that guy got blocked. I don't like aninymous users. BTW, I was thinking, I had an idea, if I survive the armed forces, I should study and work in Dresden some day. I googled it, and Dresden looks AMAZING! I still can't believe you went to Kenya.

Profile layout
Hello AddyD! Can you do me a favor? Can you give me your honest opinion of my profile when you get the time. I have trying to make it cool as yours and Toothess's. Thank You AddyD. Electric Skrill (talk) 22:18, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

Well... Time is just something I don't have that much of right now... I'm with my family these days, leaving less time for such things. Maybe later. Greetings AddyD (talk) 22:23, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

Ok :]. Electric Skrill (talk) 22:27, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

Well... I would suggest to format it better and get rid of unneccessary stuff. I'd further suggest that you put every single image, gif and video into a slider, just the way I did on my profile page. Then you start reading over your texts. Don't hesitate to delete unneccessary information. Your profile page should only introduce you to other wiki-users briefly by commiting to those points: That's it about the content. Now some other basic things: I hope I was able to help you a bit on how to make a good-looking and helpful profile page. (And that you don't blame me for my honesty) If you need assistance in - let's say creating those slideshow-galleries - just let me know. Greetings AddyD (talk) 23:03, May 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Who are you (Of course not your full real name, address or personal information that would reveal your real identity) - Maybe write your age, what country you're from, that you're a male, what your hobbies are, why you like Skrills that much...
 * How you're connected with the movie (What you like most about it, how often you've seen it, what your first experience was with it and stuff like that...)
 * Miscellaneous (Other stuff you like on the wiki, your gifs, pictures, videos, credits to other users...)
 * In everything you do: Be continuous. By now, all the videos, pictures and gifs on your page are varying in size and position... That's simply not looking good.
 * Stop being goofy, childish and immature. Try to catch a sense of seriousity. Upside down-, fancy- or other strange formatted text will only make pepole avoid you and your page. (As Station7 already clarified.) Those long character-drawn things are more fluous than water: Superfluous. Same about your Christmas Carrol song. Just think a few seconds: Who would want to know that? Your profile page is not supposed to contain everything you consider funny. You could start a blog for that sort of things.
 * Avoid too many exclamation marks. Most of the time one is more than sufficient. Emphatising stuff could also be done by formating the text bold underlined, italic or linked. Oh well... Same for the use of uppercase.
 * Take good care of your spelling and grammar. No one expects you to be perfect. In fact: No one really is. But pepole will notice, when you're at least trying.
 * Notice: Less is sometimes a lot more. Try to get straight to the point in a decent way.

Electric Skrill (talk) 08:06, May 5, 2013 (UTC)

Well... Do you want me to answer that in a gentle or in a honest way? AddyD (talk) 10:31, May 5, 2013 (UTC)

why on earth do you want to leave this wiki don't feel bad you're really a very good user, just don't do it again and it's fine toothless gave you a chance so don't be sad Electric Skrill. Spark the night fury (talk) 11:44, May 7, 2013 (UTC)

Well then. Not much left to comment for me. I can understand the awful circumstances, you are facing, Electric Skrill, but even this should not influence your behavior on this wiki. This is just like another world. This wiki is a place, where you can (and should) leave behind everything you are in real life. No one around here has a psychological education, so how should we deal with your personal stuff? I can't make you feel better about all that with a nice comment. When I was your age, I lived in a city, where we moved to, when I was 10. My school was 20 kilometers away, so I had absolutely no one in this city to play with. I spent countless hours in front of computer screens... I started playing an online-game and it was like an addiction. I played day and night. You can bet, my grades weren't getting better... One day, I joined this music project and I dedicated all of me to this project. All the time I spent before for this online game, I focused on this music project. Suddenly I was feeling important and needed. I was part of a project, where I had a position no one else could fill. I managed the sound-engineering, sang in the choir and supported them with everything that required the use of a computer. I grew tremendously in self-confidence. After one year, I changed the school. In the same process, I deleted my account on this online game. (By this time, I was under the best 200 of 5000 players...). Anyway. I learned, that commiting myself in real life things was BY FAR more beneficial than to sit at home playing something no one ever would show any interest in. My next three years of school were awesome. I ROCKED not only my class but the whole school! In those three years, all my six certificates consisted of nothing but the grade 1 (In your system, that's an A). I got scholarships, special certificates (two for english language, by the way), broke the school record in math-olympics and was the class representative for all the three years along with a really good friend. This whole story of success started with one single decision: To go out and DO something with other pepole instead of just sitting, mourning and complaining. Now what can you do? You should look out for pepole, that are doing something. It can be music-stuff, a sport club, a gym, a church, a place where pepole go and just meet to play games... Anything is better than just drown in self-pity and suck other pepole in it by expressing all those things here and there. I offer you the chance to start over. I forgive your misconduct and would really like to have you around still. Nevertheless would I recommend, that you try to find satisfaction in real life, with real pepole. Neither Toothless nor SirSkrill nor I could be a substitute for pepole you can see and face daily. In the process of growing up and gaining a new level of maturity, as Toothless put it, you'll always face both difficult situations and joyful things. I always focus on the last-mentioned. That's a recommendation too.

Well then. I hope this was at least a bit helpful. Dragonific greetings from Dresden, Germany - Your friend AddyD (talk) 13:09, May 7, 2013 (UTC)

Those are.... the most..... coolest gloves I ever seen! Also, what was that online game you used to play called? Was it really that addicting? What other things did you do when you were my age? Electric Skrill (talk) 03:45, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

Well... Yep. You obviously found my Google+ profile. Not too hard to find, if you get to our blog :D Those gloves are noctilucent. That's pretty cool, because it's highly unusual. (Like a ton of other things I have) Well... Yeah... I really like unusual stuff. Have you ever seen toe-shoes or a sleepingbag with arms and legs? What about a credit card shaped knife made from surgical steel or a usb-drive made of plane aluminium that is absolutely indestructible, waterproof and both fast and large (storage capacity) at the same time? I could endlessly continue this list of cool stuff... ;) Well... before I mention this online-game I want to make sure, that you don't ask for that to try it yourself. It really IS extremely addictive. Well... At least it was some years ago... When I was your age, there was not much I did besides school and playing video games a ton. One more word about your military future: As a computer scientist I can just smile at infantery. There is more damage someone can do with some keystrokes than a whole army of foot-soldiers. This is a lot less dangerous too. Of course, sometimes a trigger must be pulled somewhere (quote from the movie "Skyfall"), but yeah... You obviously made up your mind. I don't intend to discourage you, but it's just, that foot-soldiers are a bit dated. Here in germany, the government stopped conscripting pepole for basic military service at all... Well... Now I seriously have to leave (Holiday with the youth-group of our church) :D

Dragonific greetings from Dresden, Germany - Your friend AddyD (talk) 07:19, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

You have the coolest things! You should post pictures of them :]! What other unusual things do you have! And I promise I won't play that online game. I'm taking your advice. I resarted my Wild Skies progress because I was Really addicted to it. I even tossed Shadow The Hedgehog in the garage.Right now I am making sling shots until I find something to join like you did! I am just curious on what the game was called. Ok...well....Have fun in the youth-group!.

P.S.: I converted to Christianity ;D. Electric Skrill (talk) 01:32, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

I really trust you and now I'm gonna tell you my real name: Andy. Spark the night fury (talk) 21:08, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

wow, Dresden is a very beautiful place. I just saw it on Google Maps. I think I'm going to visit Dresden someday. Spark the night fury (talk) 08:00, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for those nice replies! Well... A complete list of my cool stuff would certainly double this talk page in length :D (And I don't want to appear in a gloating way)

@Electric Skrill: Another thing I did, when I was your age was to collect stamps. Pretty unusual for young pepole, but this way, I leaned A LOT about different countries, cultures, languages, currencies and so on without even being to those places. I even attended a club of stamp collectors that was organized nationwide and together we went to several exhibitions, sharing events and so on. When I felt like having not enough time for this hobby anymore, I stored my collection of almost 30 stamp-albums in our attic.

Another thing I would have done is to attend a group of boy-scouts. Unfortunately there was no such group around in our city. Lately I was invited to join the boyscout-group of our church in Dresden, so I'm going to catch up with this :D This is going to be soooo good :D

The game is called OGame. No kidding: This game is really highly addictive... And it's absolutely no replacement for any satisfaction you could get with real life things... All the progress in the game is worth nothing. When I stopped playing it, I just asked myself: What would your progress mean to you in some years? Would anyone be interested in it? No? So why on earth am I playing it at all? --> Ask yourself the same question for everything you do.

About your decision to becom a Christian: If you're serious about that, this might be your best decision in your whole lifetime. If you need advice, Toothless and I would be glad to help. (Toothless is even better in explaining those things).

@Spark a.k.a. Andy: It's really cool of you to show your trust letting me know your real name! Thanks for that. As you noticed, Dresden is a neat place to be :D You are welcome to visit Dresden any time. (Just as everyone else!) I'd be glad to get visitors from all over the world, especially when they're as interested in HTTYD as I am.

Well then. It's getting late. I have to get up early tomorrow. Don't want to miss my lecture on computer-architecture ;)

Dragonific greetings to all of you from Dresden! Your friend AddyD (talk) 20:39, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

It's great to have you back :]! We missed you! Electric Skrill (talk) 20:41, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! On one hand I also missed you guys, but on the other hand it was also a nice relief to be away for a few days. Greetings AddyD (talk) 20:45, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

You liked learing about cultures too? I do that as my hobby. I have 2 globes and 5 atlases. I got into geography when I became fascinated by marine life, and now I am almost like an expert at it! When I started talking to you, you got me so interested in German culture and language. Ogame looks fun, but I'm not going to play it. Well.. Good Night  and good luck on Computer -architecture.

P.S. My name is Anthony!

you were in kenya, wow. man at last I found your facebook account Spark the night fury (talk) 18:24, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Well... Not a big deal... When you're my age, who knows where you went until then... ;) Thanks for your trust. I really appreciate it. Cultures are really interesting. In Kenya I found out, how strange it is to leave the own culture and get to know something completely different. Nevertheless it was a great time. Has anyone of you been snowboarding? :D If you found my facebook-profile, feel free to send me a friend request, but please don't spread the link anywhere. My Google+ account is linked from the blog, but I don't want to have my facebook-profile linked anywhere out of my control. Greetings AddyD (talk) 03:38, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

You went snow boarding? I never really saw real snow in my life. Just.... Dirt :[. Electric Skrill (talk) 03:41, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Snow is pretty cool (In every meaning of the word). I've been snowboarding several times. Back in 2007, I won a snowboard at a computer-exhibition. (Funny story... It was in the middle of summer and I walked through Berlin with a snowboard. You should have seen pepoles faces :D ). Anyway... Austria is great for snowboarding. Oh and sometimes, snow becomes a real pest over here. Especially the public transport gets late almost every day, when there is snow... At times, I didn't even reach my destination due to snow-buried rails. I consieder it fun to ride my bike in knee-deep snow anyway (Pepole call me crazy for that attitude). Well... Your life is laying before you. If I were you, I'd ask my parents to make a trip to the rocky mountains in winter season. There MUST be snow. If you never ask, you'll never get the chance to get out. Greetings AddyD (talk) 03:53, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

I do ask. Almost amilion times a day. I have six little sibling(I'm the oldest) so imagine how hard that would would be :[.

Ich bin ein Berliner-Electric Skrill (talk) 03:56, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

AddyD, did you join the Boy-Scouts? Electric Skrill (talk) 03:08, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Off topic
Hello AddyD. I created this new section because the previous conversation was nothing related to those cool gloves. What other cool things do you have?I have  a few questions. Where did you learn english at? How come your english is better than some people(even mine.) Does Toothless know German? Germany sounds so fun. I wish I was full German(I'm only part German). Electric Skrill (talk) 04:50, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

My cool stuff... Well... Where to start? I'm a big fan of big audio systems, so I got myself a pile of 4 considerably large speakers, a mixer, microphone, high quality cables and so on. Mentioning my technic stuff, I could continue with my special line filter power distribution unit. Plugged in there are two monitors (25.5" respectively 19") and two laptops. My PC is actually borrowed by a friend. Special things about my main laptop: I stocked up on memory: 8 GB, then I have a solid state drive with 240 GB and even a BluRay-drive. The other laptop I got from work. Also 8 GB memory, a quad-core-CPU, fingerprint reader and so on... Attached to my whole computer setup, there are several nice things: Three mice, two keyboards, a gamepad, a 7.1 surround-sound headset, a HD-webcam (Everything Logitech G series to this point), several hard drives, some network storage systems, network printer, USB-scanner... My network is gigabit ethernet only and the internet speed is the fastest possible (I need only 90 seconds to download 1 GB). I'm also pretty interested in photography. Therefor I got myself a Nikon D5000 (you can google it) and loads of stuff attachable to it (Flashlight, lenses, filters, additional power supply, tripod, 16 and 32 GB Class 10 SDHC memory cards...). I replaced every single battery with rechargables. Of course not the cheap ones, but the best available... So far about my technical stuff... Another big part of my lifestyle is my bike. It's worth approximately 1000€. It has hydraulic disk brakes, extremely big tires, 27 gears, reflectors on every spoke and a super bright lamp. To lock it, I have a pretty big bike lock. Hm... Now some clothes: Like I already mentioned, I love to wear my toe-shoes. Each toe is separate. I love to see pepoles faces when wearing them. My favorite shirt is one I got in england last year. It has a footprint on it, that is somehow embossed. I keep telling everyone, that this is Chuck Norris' footprint, when we fought and he roundhouse-kicked me. (And I survived :D ). You've already noticed my gloves. They are really cool. I have another set of special gloves. Those are made of rubber and have rubber between the pre-shaped spreaded fingers, just like a frog. I use them when I go swim. This way I can go a lot faster and again I love the hilarious looks of other pepoles faces :D Other than that I own tons of functional clothes (Most of them for the really cold winter seasons). Well... Some useful tools I have: A keyring-tool that looks like a key, but if opened it reveals a knife, a saw, a bottle-opener and several screwdrivers. I have a similar tool in my wallet. It's credit-card-shaped. Another credit card shaped tool I have in my wallet is a super light knife made of surgery steel. Other neat things: I have an electric fly zapper, which is a lot more powerful than any other electric zapper I've ever seen elsewhere. Flies really explode in a big beam of lightning when hit :D Then of course my sleeping bag with arms and legs, a cubic shaped watch, that is very hard to describe. Just imagine one corner of it to turn in three slices... Pepole who visit me usually love it. For university, I bought a really, really good calculator. It has a touchscreen and can display graphs in three dimensions. Next to my bed, there is my whole HTTYD-collection (you can check it out elsewhere on this wiki). Most special item of this collection is the mug from the arena spectacular, Toothless sent me. But even my usual stuff is unusual: Where other pepole use normal white note papers, I have a pile of floppy-disc-shaped and designed note papers. My wristwatch is also really special: It can store up to 30 telephone numbers, and can do everything a watch could possibly hope to do. Someday I found a pretty big binoculars in a shop for a rediculous small amount of money. Then I have tons of custom things. For example a cracker shaped pillow, my mom crafted for me. I already mentioned my snowboard. It's also really unique. I mean... It's really highly unlikely to meet anyone with a "Fujitsu Siemens Computers"-snowboard, isn't it? Along with this snowboard, I've bought a whole set of protectors. Snowboarding can be pretty dangerous and I've seen pepole after riding snowboards without those protectors attached. Well... I can say, they're worth every single penny... Hm... what else... Oh... I have a massage-chair, electric tooth brush, remotely controled power sockets and my room is lit by five LED light bulbs (I just ordered them two days ago and they arrived today). Right behind me decorating my wardrobe is an ancient-looking map of africa, that I got on a local market in Nairobi. There I also got a bunch of tiny jewel cases. They're looking nice in my bookshelf... Oh... When I just looked around for more interesting stuff, I saw my isolation headphones next to my old drumsticks. Yes... I've played drums some time ago and therefor I needed isolation headphones. If you put them on, I could scream at you right next to your ear, but you wouldn't hear anything at all (Well... At least not much, that wouldn't come to the audio cable). If I have to burn a CD or DVD, I'm not satisfied by normal raw CD's, no - I use LightScribe-discs only. They look a lot nicer than usual burned CDs/DVDs... In terms of memory, I just thought about my USB-drive: 32 GB, made of plane-aluminium, USB 3.0, water, shock and anything-else-resistant... (Corsair survivor)

Well... This list is far from complete, but now you just got a slight clue about what I consider nice to have.

Next question: Where did I learn english? Well... Over here, you start having english lessons in school from the 3rd grade. Since my parents knew some befriended english-speaking pepole, they asked them to teach me and my sister some english even before we went to school, so I got in contact with this language really, really early. In my vocational school, I got the chance to make a certificate. Well... I took this chance twice, so I have a pretty high ranked certificate, that allowed me to omit english lectures in university. I got my mark instantly after showing my certificate.

Well... If you want to know if Toothless can speak english, wyh don't you ask him yourself? :D But how likely would that be? To cut it short: He can't, but no one can blame him for that.

So you're partly german? Well... Being fully german has some disadvantages too. The first thing that comes to pepoles mind usually when germany is mentioned are the two world wars, especially WW2. That was a dark chapter in history and pepole keep blaming us germans, even though my generation and even the generation of my parents were born way past those horrible times... That's kind of a burden... Anyway...

Man... This message took some time to be typed. Now what's up with you? Do you have special hobbies or things you enjoy doing? Some neat things, that I don't already have in my list? :D (I'm always looking for creative and unusual stuff, that is also useful).

Greetings from Dresden AddyD (talk) 12:19, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

I am so jealous. I don't think I have anything great. All I have is a collection of biology books, Electric guitar, xbox 360, ps2, xbox, PSP, freeze dried ice cream sandwich labeled as "Astronaut Food", and a glass thing with with a dinosaur made of dots in it. I also have a pocket knife with many tools and even an LED light on it and a lighter I got from my dad and it has a flashlight on it. I feel bad people keep thinking about WW2  when it comes to Germany. And yes, I am part German. My Nana is German. You have so many cool things. I am lost for words. I don't know what to say. Do you live at the University or do you have your own house? Also your Mom sounds nice. I can't believe she made a cracker shaped pillow :D. I want to go to Germany so bad. I also want to live in Australia. Electric Skrill (talk) 02:23, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

Well... I've never had a console, but I'm not bothered about that in any way. There is nothing, that a console could do better than my PC. So you play electric guitar? That's pretty nice. Have you been to music school or is it just this "Guitar Hero"-game? If you're enjoying it, you could look out for pepole in your class or elsewhere to make a band :) This astronaut food sounds interesting. How does it taste? Mentioning laser... I have a pen with a LED-flashlight and a laser built in. Plus if I'm presenting some slides, I use my presenter, that has a laser built in too. Neither of those places. My flat is located in a local church. Oh and my mom is the best mom in the world (Just as my dad is the best dad possible) :D

have to go. Greetings AddyD (talk) 05:46, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

Hello AddyD. I got my guitar for Christmas(a real one, not Guitar Hero!) but I never had lessons for it. We don't really have the money for lesson anyway. And for the Astronaut food, it was really good. It was powdery sorta and it melted on my toungue almost like cotton candy! The pen sounds cool!

Also, I have a question. You and Toothless ship each other gifts through mail right? Well.. how do you send things through mail? I had an idea of sending someone a gift through Amazon by using my credit card, but having it ship to this persons address, but I don't know if it will work. Electric Skrill (talk) 22:45, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

We just packed those packages, went to the post office and shipped it the usual way. Greetings AddyD (talk) 23:32, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

Hi AddyD. I made a new facebook. Here it is.

Electric Skrill (talk) 01:35, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

Shark
Hi AddyD! What's your favorite Shark?

P.S. I found out you can adopt wild animals. I just adopted a great white shark so that means you can adopt a polar bear! Electric Skrill (talk) 00:36, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

Uhm... Honestly I don't know much about sharks at all... They doesn't inhabit the seas, that are bordering germany... I just adopted a polar bear! Not a real one, but I got a canadian 2$-coin with a polar bear on it ;)

AddyD (talk) 05:34, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

Thats cool about the coin. I never knew Canada had a polar bear on their money :). Also, didn't you say you go swimming in the Baltic Sea? 31 of Sharks live in the Baltic Sea including Lamna nasus and Prionace glauca. Here in California, we have over 59 species and recently found out Galeocerdo cuvier lives in Southern California(Where I live.) I am so excited for that ^_^. Also, didn't you say you were in Kenya before? I watched a thing on Nat Geo Wild and said Kenya's lakes and rivers is almost like a gold mine for Carcharhinus leucas. To be honest, I am kind of tired of Carcharodon carcharias. It's a good shark, but almost most of Shark Week is about it. Why don't they feature more about other sharks like Ginglymostoma cirratum? Well... I am sure I'm boring you so bye :]. Electric Skrill (talk) 23:11, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks... alot!
I just want to thank you for introducing me to Kutless :). I think this is my favorite so far: This one.

You have the best taste in things. I think I'm starting to worship you. I look up to your nice personality, computer skills, and how you always have the most interesting things to say. Not to mention introducing me to the German cultre and language. I am strugling with money money because I  Someday can I visit Dresden? Also in the future, I think I want to become a pastor if I'm alive by then.

Also, I saw your Facebook request :). You look kind of like my dad when he was 26 and before he joined USMC. Also, I'm trying to mature like you and Toothless told me, but I am having a hard time. It's like I'm a 5 year old who is trapped in 14 year olds body. The only thing mature is knoledgable about how bad the world is. At age 8 I started to read politics and understood it. I knew about corruption and greed at age 6. I often write songs on my opinions of the world but often rip them and throw them in the trash because I'm scared everyone will think they're garbage. I guess working on my self esteem should be apart of maturing. I have absolutely no faith in myself. People often tell me it's "only human to make mistakes" but I feel they only say that to keep my face away from the pillow but I always feel everything is my fault. Also my old laptop got fixed and my shark stickers are still on it! It has a web cam built in to it! SO I guess I can add that to my neat things list. Also summer is coming soon and I will be off school in a few weeks! The only thing I dread is the heat. While you have snow and maybe grass, we have large dust devils, sand storms, snakes, scorpions, spiders, etc. I can't wait to get out of this desert.

Before I go, may I ask you you opinion on this song? Can you believe it was written by a 14 year old in 5 minutes! Well.. have to go. I have to be in bed by ten or else it gets the laptop taken away. Electric Skrill (talk) 04:45, June 4, 2013 (UTC)

Hi There, You're welcome! Yeah, Kutless is a pretty cool band. If you like their music, you might also enjoy listening to "Relient K", "Crushead", "Skillet", "Switchfoot", "Red", "Tobymac" and "Thousand Foot Krutch".

Oh please don't "worship" me... I feel honored to be kind of a role model to you, but there's only one to be worshipped: Jesus Christ. Right now, Dresden is suffering a pretty serious flooding... The Elbe-river is normally less than two meters deep, but these days, it rised to 7.72 meters. Though the city is pretty good prepared, the effects are not that devastating yet. Predictions say, that the tide will rise to about 9 meters by thursday. Today I even saw the army moving into the city with several light tanks and heavy special vehicles. But yeah... generally, it's a lovely city and you're welcome to come to visit.

Not to your "[...]if I'm alive by then"-note. Why shouldn't you? In my taste it's really disturbing, that a 14-year old is even thinking about dying. When I opened that video, I read the title and closed it again. I don't care who wrote it or how long it took. It's just awful to know that there are pepole out there who would consider suicide to be a title for a song. Beware of such things. I highly recommend to erase such songs from your ming entirely. They might seem harmless, but in fact, they're like poison. The longer you concern yourself with such topics, the more, it'll creep into your brain. I would really hate to see such things happen. I'd rather suggest to focus on happy things. Maturing is a process. You can't decide to be more mature instantly. You can only try to do more mature things step by step. That would include to develop a sense how to appear nicer to other pepole. On my talk page, it's okay, but I don't think much pepole would appreciate the lot of self-pity you're expressing. Self-esteem is a pretty big deal. But even this is a thing that cannot be learned, but only become developed. Crucial to build it up are pepole, who accept you the way you are, pepole who you can trust fully and whose recommendations you'd follow, pepole with some experience in live, pepole wou share common interests with you and encourage you to do new things and who would also accompany you on your way towards that goal: Friends. I've found such a friend in Toothless and I always try to be such a person myself. Sometimes with more and sometimes with less success. If you try to become such a person, who encourages others, this effort will certainly pay off. Invest your time, your creativity, your money, yourself into others without thinking about your advantages in the first place. That's kind of an odd recommendation, but this way you can build friendships pretty good. Those things will cause others to like you, to become friends with you and so on. No one would have to study psychology for that. It's the most basic thing to bond with others. If you carefully watch Hiccup through the whole franchise, you'd notice much of those things.

Well... So far for now. I'll take my camera and my bike and will head towards the elbe river...
