Curly's Rambunctious and Erudite Random Banter #140

[Ranna]

I used to swap ink all the time it made my writing interesting colours that would graduate through the notes, I thought it was quirky.

[Quincunx]

Why did blue ink even develop in the first place? I know the lack of contrast between blue ink and paper, and thus the inability of faxes and scanners to read it properly, is contributing to its demise.

I have been broken of colored inks, though. I used to use 'archival quality' scrapbooker's pens, .03 fiber tip. The problem was the brown pen, or what wrote in brown eight years ago; its ink is now a barely legible tan. This was a pen meant to record for the ages and its ink hasn't lasted a decade. The purple seems to have withstood time with better grace, being six years old and only seen to have faded when compared with the pen cap, but it's from the same manufacturer and thus I have no hope. Copied what I could still read with a plain ballpoint pen, in black.

HNGH.
I haven't slept until my normal wake-up time since... Saturday, I think? Either that or some time the week before last. I've been pretty consistently tired, though, because my mom keeps waking me up so I can "do school".
I don't see how waking someone up earlier than they normally get up and forcing them out of bed could possibly help them do school work. If anything, I've been getting less schoolwork done. But she persists in screwing with my sleep.
I'm going to be angry if she wakes me up on Tuesday.
Goddammit, why do I have 4 days a week that I have to wake up before noon?

Go to Woolw- oh wait. I'm pretty sure I've seen blue cartridges in WHSmith though.

I don't really give a doodle though as I have a bobbing ghost clown following my mouse looking happy. It doesn't get better than that.

Man, that still makes me sad.
Woolsworth was the centre of my town, and now it's a Poundland which has just made the high street feel really scuzzy.

Because Woolworths was so high class. They sold sweets and garden stuff.

Woolworths > Poundland

At the very least, Woolsworth had diginity and gave my sister a job for like four years.

[Quincunx]

Did they also, eventually, give her the back pay she was owed at the time Woolworth's closed?

Yes, actually. Which was very important at the time because she was at Uni. It was awful nice of them actually to pay her when she was going months between shifts.

Also, new thread anybody? It's Page 50.

I'd claim dibs, but if someone else wants it then by all means.

Hm. I've never done one. Could be cool.

Can I can I please?

[Kobold-Bard]

Me neither. If no-one objects then set it up I guess.

[Deth Muncher]

Yoinks and away!

[Deth Muncher]

Bam.
