Hmm? Nah. The girl I was with last night is the girl I was calling Mary in the RWA Thread. She's the one I'd be roadtripping with. She kind of has a boyfriend and I'm her best friend, apparently, so that wouldn't really be wise nor am I interested. The other girl is the girl I was calling Julie from the RWA Thread, so yeah, the cutie. I honestly have no idea how that's going to go. But I'm going down the Bukowski route for now. In that:

Somebody at one of these places asked me: "What do you do? How do you write, create?" You don't, I told them. You "don't try". That's very important: not to try, either for Cadillacs, creation or immortality. You wait, and if nothing happens, you wait some more. It's like a bug high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or if you like it's looks, you make a pet out of it.
My goal is to coast through senior year without developing feeling for anyone, because it's bound to end soon one way or another. Probably won't be so lucky, but eh.

Hmm, yes, shipping isn't exactly going to be cheap. It'll roughly chime in on 200:- with some package optimisation. Surmountable, and it's not like it's actually going to hurt, but still. I'd need to find a cardbord roll with an inner diametre of 8cm or more, but that shouldn't be all too hard if I put some effort into it, really...
After a few discarded attempts at visualising the scene, my mind settled on an image of a budgie and a bottle sitting at the opposite sides of a dollhouse table, having a romantic dinner with a miniature candles (the ones you'd put in the Christmas tree if you weren't afraid of burning your house down) providing the atmosphere. Afterwards, the budgie would offer to take that top off the bottle... and I think my brain just short-circuited itself with potential innuendo. :smallwink:
(There actually is a reason for why it just was this image, but writing it all in size 1 would be silly.)

Yeah, that sounds like an idea. I relatively quickly found most of the information I'd need, so thanks.
Another good idea would've been checking our own postal service's webpage to start with. :smallwink:

Yeah, I can tell. I had this sudden realisation about how much the Internet accessability debate here in Sweden actually has led to. I mean, I can find exactly what I need in less than ten clicks while having to make close to no tab-branches throughout the process. And when I do branch, it's because two or more alternatives seem equaly applicable, not because there seem to be none.

Well, I was talking about the roadtrip anyway... I think... Anyhoo, sounds like you're in perfect double-date territory if it comes to that then, unless the other guy (potentially?) going isn't Mary's beau.

That's all well and good, but sometimes if you see an iceberg looming it's better to get the smashing out of the way early, might even have some fun out of the mess. Just food for thought rather than a serious persuasive attempt, haha. I'm rubbish at those anyway. :smalltongue:

Oh. I suppose so. And the other dude is not Mary's beau, and if that dude does come, his GF will probably come, assuming she can get permission. So yeah.

Wuff, so that could definitely lead to the two of you being the odd ones out of a couple's stew.
Risky, risky. :smallamused: If this weren't teenagers in real life that we were talking about I'd even wonder if this was an attempt at a deliberate setup, haha.

Potentially. Although Mary does have a beau, so it'd be me and Julie that were the odd ones out.

Yeah, well. The original idea to go on a roadtrip was Mary's (although at the time she didn't have a boyfriend). Issac, the dude, was there at the time but he thought it was a joke. But we could probably talk him into going. And if he did go, he'd bring his girlfriend (if she could get permission). We still need to talk to Julie, but I'm sure she'd be up for it and be able to get permission.

You become an adult when you:
Know who you are
Know what you want
Take responsibility
Stop caring about becoming an adult. (C.S. Lewis said something similar to this one)

figuring out which one to grab was a headache though. I decided to go by one I hadn't tried before because why not.
It's like they use words and labeling as an ink defense against you buying what you're supposed to buy.

When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
If so, it's one of my favorite quotes ever.

Indeed that would likely be the case. But alas... I have never attended a costume party. I also don't drink and am incredibly boring at parties.

Well, fortunately you don't ever have to play it again. And in time, the memories will fade.
After all, it's not like the creators of the game would do something so terrible as to force people to play it using hypnosis.
I mean... That would be illegal.

Well, had they put leveling, achievements and alternative endings in it, the effect would more or less be identical to hypnosis. Probably even more efficient, actually. :smallwink:

You could always try and follow the bright spots on the dance floor (no one would notice anything out of the ordinary anyway). Or perhaps read in the light of the strobe. Time your words per minute frequency correctly and you'll get to read the book twice: one for the odd numbered words and one for the even. :smallwink:

As much as I love peanut butter, that would be TERRIBLE. I mean, I've been known to just eat peanut butter with a spoon, my mouth would NOT feel clean after brushing with peanut butter toothpaste.

Okay, so no school for me tomorrow. YEAH, INCLEMENT WEATHER!!! Although, to be honest, I have no idea why they're cancelling classes. (I should probably look at the forecast.)
ION: My RL D&D group finally got together for another session. We spent an hour or so (a really long time for this group, trust me) on a riddle the DM thought was easy, until he just gave up (DM sigh = VICTORY!). Oh, and we leveled up.

At least with prom they've usually got enough foresight in planning them to have clean, well-lit bathrooms with plenty of extra stalls in addition to the suitably darkened so that the chaperones don't have to pay attention to everything dance floor and table area.

We've got most of the standard American candies and chocolate. Mints, chocolate bars, cadbury creme eggs, twizzlers, nibs, things like that. Those are the things I like!
