Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
@CK: ...Ah...massive life stress. :( I see. Mmm...*hugs for Koorly* Well, I'm sure things aren't as bad as they seem...holiday stress can pile up pretty quickly. Just do your best. And don't be afraid to tell people that you need some rest if that's what you really need...I admit that I don't know your family all that well, but if you need some support from them, you should be able to ask for their support.

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
Eeeeeh. I bounce back pretty quickly. Some is just holiday stress, but some isn't and it's the 'isn'ts' that are the most worrying.
But there's nothing t'be done about it, so why bother.
Hey, SansNom, how much d'you think it would cost to send a pachage to Londinium?

*Huggles teh Koorly.*
Good that you bounce back well though. And not bothering with things you can't do anything about is a sensible approach of which I approve (Split infinitive - averted. Bonus points to me), since it's what I try to do.
Right. Now, holidays, free time, etc. Today I sort out everything I can sort without leaving the house. Tomorrow I sort out everything that requires me to leave the house. After that I can spend time writing/arranging/reading.
This is a fairly solid plan, as long as I actually do it."'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
No worries. The internet provides all!
£3.25 isn't a bad price. That's next day delivery and I think overestimating the weight of the package.
Well, guess I'll wrap it up and post it on the morrow. Truthfully I was expecting it to be more.
I also find it sad that I'm only sending two presents to friends. Others just get cards.
And for the record: GRANDPARENTS ARE HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, EVIL PEOPLE TO BUY FOR.
Except Grandad. He adores Inspector Morse. And guess what? The complete novels of Inspector Morse for £9.99.
Really, the other two are just going to get chocolates, biscuits or something upsettingly non-personal that all but screams "Last minute gift bought for the difficult and obstreperous relative." Those two have always been the worst ones to buy for.
And for the last couple of years I've been buying toys and presents for toddlers. What does that say when it's still bleddy hard to buy presents for people I've known literally all my life when I'm buying sweet and personalised gifts for infants I've met all of once or twice?
Bathatar!

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
No, no, grandparents are truly hard people to gift.
Because they're at a point in their life where they don't need, or want to accumulate a bunch of more stuff (or shouldn't). So you can't give them items that will just clutter up their life, unless they've expressed that they need something which is probably too expensive for a grandchild to buy them anyways, and at the same time, yes, the easy gifts like chocolates or cookies are so impersonal.
My grandmother seems to appreciate something like a handmade card with a nice message in it the most, that and spending time with her. Maybe others' grandparents aren't that way though.Last edited by Kneenibble; 2009-12-14 at 01:49 PM. Reason: Once again I use the word 'really' 47,000 times per sentence. Refined.

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
Well I'm buying extravagantly for some reason this year.
Female Parental Unit's Present: £15.99
Male Parental Unit's Present: £9.99
Elder Youngest Brother's Present: £9.99
Little Sister's Present: £14.95
Granddad's Present: £9.99
Littlest Brother's Estimate For Present: £12.00
Grandpa's Present: pegging for £7
Gran's Present: roughly £7
And considering this (plus my own present) comes out of £80. Twenty pounds from each of us. And we're -£7 already.
Any deficit comes out of my own pocket.
Also: my Mum bought Dad H2G2 Books 1-4. I just went in with my loyalty card and physically bought it.

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
It says that you've already been there for those people for a very, very long time, that likely you have already gotten them things they enjoy, and now must find something you or someone else hasn't already gotten them so that they won't be disappointed. Meanwhile, infants hardly have anything and don't really care if they accidentally get two of something.
ION: I got my paper back from the teacher...with a huge list of complaints and a deadline for revision. I guess I should be happy because he's actually now extended my final deadline to a full week after when it was due, but I can't help but feel like I'm now saddled with a lot more work than before. ^^;

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
All this talk about gift-giving makes me appreciate how simply my family does it. My dad just tells me specifically that he wants a certain thing, and I do the same for him. It's easy, and simplifies the whole process.

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
I think I'd rather lodge an arrowhead up my left nostril than see it, myself.
Oh, lah-dee-dah, those eeeevil militaristic humans and their science. Why can't they be more like us super shiny special blue people, with our humble ways and our connection to nature? Truly, it is they that are the monsters!
Them and technology, of course. God damn technology. What has that ever done for society, huh?Last edited by Rutskarn; 2009-12-14 at 03:21 PM.

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
I largely agree with the implied opinion of Rusty there. Yes, it looks like it will be a very shiny movie, but at the same time it looks like it will be a very played-out plot with little-to-nothing that will truly surprise us.

Yeah, Avatar looks like your basic "Technology bad, natives good," anvilicious bullsquid. I'm all for some new sci-fi, but something like D-9, which had at the very least a little originality.

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
I've already gotten some Hannukah gifts. A little bit of cash, some clothing, and Metroid Prime Trilogy is a pretty nice haul so far.
Step 1: Get workers to make goods for you.
Step 2: Sell the goods for a higher amount than what you pay the workers.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!
Thanks to Mortugg for my current avatar, and for this steampunk version:

Sometimes I think it'd be easier to replace me with a robot that dispenses facts, powered by They Might Be Giants songs. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Now, on a scale of 12 to 506, how strange is it that I am seriously considering building this robot?BANG → !
