Jibar's Random Banter #137: Return of the Cat-Muffin

[cycoris]

@Cyssys Missy: You look very pretty, but I really don't like the hair, you still look nice; but I preferred you with longer hair. However, don't take this to heart as Curly is affirmed as loving long hair on anyone, no matter the gender.

Well, it's now a bit past my shoulders, and I'm growing it out. Does this make the Koorly happy?

And I am not the slender man. Gender bender week hasn't started yet, remember?

[Dr. Bath]

I know how you feel.

Hey everyone, it's been a while, and I doubt anyone remembers me, but I need to redress the balance of my life: more internet, less real world.

Hiii Edge. I remember you. How is wherever you are? Uni? I don't even know.

@Kneenibble: I'm... not sure what to make of your comment there. Not quite sure. I'm not one to look a gift bird in the hand, not when it's worth two in the lap of the gods. aka the rum was a present, I had no choice but to imbibe.

[Edge]

Yep, I'm at uni, specifically Bangor University. Even more specifically, I'm doing English with Creative Writing.

It's been great so far, hall mates are all pleasant people.

Something I cannot seem to get over, though: we are looking for a house.

I am involved in house hunting.

Sure, it's only to rent, but it still feels weird...

[Kobold-Bard]

....Social...Life? This concept confuses me. Please explain.

You have a good time, Koorly! Trust me...there is no way you could possibly more socially awkward than me. <.<;

Lets not have an awkwardness competition between people on the internet. There's just no way to really win

OH GAWD HOUSE HUNTING. I did not enjoy that. I'm putting my deposit down on wednesday, but it's already been secured with a couple of my friends' checks. Woo. Not sure I like writing checks though...

Halls are pretty ok. Mine is a little on the ...odd side. What with being (apparently) the last all male hall in England (maybe Britain?) also we wear gowns to dinner. Crazy crazy times.

I know you probably mean academic gowns, but I'm going to choose to assume it's a hall of crossdressers. It's more fun in my head.

[Dr. Bath]

Humph. They're not really academic, just strange. And they are over-clothing gowns, like a cape!

[Player_Zero]

It's more fun in my head.

Never a truer statement. Out of context or no.

[Edge]

@Bath: Well, at least you can probably understand the cleaning staff.

Seriously, we've been speaking to the woman who cleans the kitchen weekly pretty much since the first term started, and we still don't know her name. Her accent it ridiculously thick.

Also, shouldn't someone make a new thread?

[Dallas-Dakota]

Oh farewell, Jibar's RB, wherin I played Jibar the almighty catmuffin himself.

Can't make a new RB for another says dozen RB's yet. Drattit.

Also I recently received a book called ''Native English for Nederlanders''
(Nederlanders = dutch people)

I heart it so hard. It's a fantastic book. *goes off to read more*

[randman22222]

I would create one, but I'm on a non-creating-random-banters streak. One hundred thirty seven and counting!

Also: We once discussed the longest word you can type with just your left hand. We found it, actually. But I've forgotten it... Anyone remember?

[Quincunx]

Looks like you, cycoris, me, and. . .that may be the end of the valid posters--on this page anyhow.

I visualized guys slobbing around in bathrobes, but that's sometimes what things are like here on the weekends. Works heaps better than towels.

[CurlyKitGirl]

I know how you feel.

Hey everyone, it's been a while, and I doubt anyone remembers me, but I need to redress the balance of my life: more internet, less real world.

Edge! Dude! I remember you! How's univmaversity?
Quick: recap your uni life, now! It was for . . . English? Oop North somewhere?
How's it been?

....Social...Life? This concept confuses me. Please explain.

As far as I can gather it involves meeting people and going out for fun or just because. It involves talking and things. It is all very confusing.

You have a good time, Koorly! Trust me...there is no way you could possibly more socially awkward than me. <.<;

Ach, I'll probably have a good time, even if I've yet to last half an hour standing up in my posh shoes.
And I think social awkwardness is a trait common to most Playgrounders.

Well, it's now a bit past my shoulders, and I'm growing it out. Does this make the Koorly happy?

Yes, yes it makes the Koorly one very happy.

. . . Well that answers my question.
ALso: house hunting?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!1!!111!!!3! I don't have to do that. I just enter the ballot.
*does a little jig*

Prolly,
Also: Oxford. Also: Cambridge.


And as of this post, I can also create a new thread.

ION: Just brought my new conditioner.
Vanilla, oranges and strawberries baby. To try it out!

I'll have you know that I at least have the decency to put on pants!

...Relaxation pants, mind you. But still, true pants!

...this would probably have more effect if I had my regular avatar, as opposed to my GBed one.

[Rutskarn]

Also, finally stopped raining over here.

If you'll recall for a minute, I do know where you live, what your name is and what you look like.

P.S. I hate you. But I'm not going to insult you personally, that would make me a monster.

[Dr. Bath]

Prolly,
Also: Oxford. Also: Cambridge.

Even at Oxford and Cambridge they don't wear gowns every day for dinner.

Don't you laugh at houses! Our house is pretty cool. There's a basement, and the bedrooms are big enough to have a sofa and there's a fridge in the garden.

[KuReshtin]

Cycoris. I didn't mean to imply that you are the Slender Man, that was just the first thought that popped into my head when I saw that picture of you.

Also, I like my little sister. We were talking on the phone the other day about a limited edition 'winter flavour' chocolate bar that she sent me before Christmas so I could try it, and while we were talking, we were also both looking at the website of the chocolate company (Mmmmmm.... Marabou) and I found a chocolate bar that I haven't tried in forever.

Today, when I got home, I had a Jiffy-bag waiting for me containing five of those chocolate bars, and an additional of a different kind. Best. Sister. Ever!

[Nameless]

Whee, my application was accepted by Kingston University. I have to make some sort of online portfolio, so it isn't an interview quite yet. *Is still exited* >w<

Good stuff. Congrats.

Oooh!! Congratulations, Nameless! ^w^ Do they have a specific format for you to follow in making your online portfolio? Or can you basically make it in any shape you want?

[Edge]

Congrats, Nameless. Here's hoping it all goes as well, if not better, from here on out.

Also, would people object to Edge's Effluence of Extravagant and Effulgent Random Banter #138?

[Trobby]

As long as you remember to give us a link! :p I'd be fine with it. Unless someone else has claim to the next RB thread?

[Nameless]

@KR: Thatnks. :3

There's a minimum amount, but it doesn't go into any sepcifics like Hertforshire did. I'm assuming they'll want it to relate to the coarse in one way or another though.

Hertfordshire was like in all caps; "NO MANGA, NO ELVES, NO SPACE MARINES, NO ORKS, NO PIRATES, NO ROBOTS, NO NINJAS! BE ORIGINAL!!!!!1111ONEONEELEVENTY." Seriously. O.o
It's a shame though, my main idea was a Manga about a giant war between Space Marines, elves, orks, pirates, ninjas and Robots. .-.

[Edge]

Exactly why I thought I'd ask. I'll give it another five minutes, and then proceed.
And I shall be one step closer to world domination... now, just to purchase a disused satellite and a gigantic magnifying glass...

@Nameless: The obvious answer is to take an extant manga or anime and reimagine it the mundane world. Dragonball Z in a corporate office, maybe?

Oh, and everyone. Five minutes is up.

[Trobby]

@KR: Thanks. :3

...I hope you proofread your portfolio page, sweetie. ;w; *hugs*

D: that's pretty unfortunate, I mean...what if you're a comic book artist who's done stories for one or all of those? I mean, that would be awesome! ^^; But I think you'll be fine whatever you do. Just make sure it works properly, that it looks really nice, and that everything you need is on the site.

It's interesting...I'm actually trying to get into web design as a professional. ^^; I still need to learn some of the most important things though, like how to use the Dreamweaver software, and PhP pages.

What are you going to do for your site, Nameless?

Well, me and a friend are working on a website anyway, but it won't be ready in time. She still has to teach me HTML properly ('-_-) and has a lot going on at the moment, so I don't want to push her too hard.
They did say something like Photobucket would be fine though.

And good luck with that, I hear much money is involved. >:3
