You'd think she could at least warn you!

Yes. If she had warned me, I would've been able to convince her to drive the 10 minutes to her boyfriend's house to make them.

[AtlanteanTroll]

There's nothing wrong with being 15... I was 15 once... And I'd have a different list of accomplishments in the post 12 years ago... (My first games...) I'm just not.

It's OK, I was 15 about 2 weeks ago.

[Pyrian]

Yes. If she had warned me, I would've been able to convince her to drive the 10 minutes to her boyfriend's house to make them.

*facepalm* Which is, presumably, exactly why she didn't warn you.

[Thajocoth]

My brother made chocolate chip cookies. I've had trouble staying angry for any real length of time since near the end of 3rd grade... I'm getting over it. I just needed to vent.

[CynicalAvocado]

venting is good.

[Thufir]

She also owes me about $19,000 which I'm not charging any sort of interest on...

Seriously, you should never have to lend out that kind of money. Unless you're a bank.
And... gah. I have no words.

Were, not we're.

I'm sure I remember a time, not long ago, when we were correcting your grammar (Though I might be thinking of a different young poster). They can be taught!

She's good for it. She's always paid me back in the past, and has been slowly taking my rent from that total, so part of it's kinda like pre-paid rent.

I'm sure you were. What's your point?

His point is that you've learned well. *sniff* They grow up so fast

Aw, don't get all sentimental on us now. You always leave a mess of empty ice cream containers when you do, and I always have to clean it up.

[Gullara]

I can't help it, I'm just so proud.

[KerfuffleMach2]

I can't help it, I'm just so proud.

That doesn't excuse it! You clean your own mess next time!

[Gullara]

That doesn't excuse it! You clean your own mess next time!

*looks at pile of empty ice cream containers*

...

Whatever do you mean?

[KerfuffleMach2]

*points at mess*

Nope! No excuses! No weaseling out! You clean it this time!

[Gullara]

Nope! No excuses! No weaseling out! You clean it this time!

You'll never catch me *throws smoke bomb and flees from Random Banter*

So what do you guys think of the latest xkcd?

Warning: image-heavy if there's ever been such a thing as image-heavy.

I think Farmville is upsettingly big. I have lost all faith in humanity.

It's OK, Farmville will eventually pass.

No Mafia Wars alongside farmville?
Not that I'm complaining, or anything, I despise them both, but I at least thought it was still big enough to get a mention.

I've got a sneakin' hunch that the "Farmville" area would be more appropriately named "Zynga".

[CurlyKitGirl]

Ah. So, basically all the things every uni student has to do, except the ones who live in the area, like me. And these 'Collections'. And you go to Fresher's Fair again?

Heck yeah! That way I can get the pizza vouchers again. And sign up to new stuff.
Collections = mini-exams.

They're watching you...

Yes. Yes they are.

*awaits*

. . .

I have 2 lectures per week, 1 for each module. Part of the assessment is attendance, though, so I'm definitely going to all of them.

Only two lectures a week? So no going to stuff that you find interesting? Can't believe they make you take attendance for a grading though, c'est tres etrange.

I can see this inspiring a horror story from a certain Curly very soon...
In the same way that those Gargoyles can see you!
No, don't look back; they know you're watching.

A la "Blink" and House of Leaves? Nah. I do have a nice one in the works about the demonic and monkly gargoyles though. The Green Man is the arbitrator.

They were so young, and now they're all grown up.

ION:
Last night the Uni Husband came down and I helped him move in. His room is about three times larger than mine (my room is about 9'x10') if not bigger!
This makes two times I've helped someone unpack. This is a good thing.

The bad thing was that about three o'clock I started developing a headache. By six o'clock it felt like someone was compressing the base of my skull and squeezing my brain up and out the crown. My eyes were being pierced by a rusted thick iron nail and making me want to vomit every time I blinked. My throat was as if someone had grabbed hold of it and was crushing it.
My hands were shaky. The thought of eating made me queasy.
By nine o'clock I couldn't stand any form of light, my vision was as wobbly as my hands were, and I didn't dare contemplate eating.

Two paracetamol and a preposterously early bedtime later I was moderately comfortable. I think I passed out within half an hour.
One in the morning came and I woke up. Headache had almost receded - meaning that it was only a bad headache rather than an ancapacitating one.
Another paracetamol and a couple of hours later I was dead to the world again.
I woke up at ten thirty, barely cognitive of anything, and was iut able to let the cleaning lady empty the bin. Passing out again I woke up an hour and a half ago with a simple low-grade headache.

I haven't really eaten since half-past ten Monday night. Iust a handful of grapes and a couple pieces of chocolate. And the work I was planning on doing yesterday? Undone.
Being ill sucks.

[Thufir]

His room is about three times larger than mine (my room is about 9'x10') if not bigger!

Oh, that reminds me:

Try about 24 cubic feet. I've slept in it.

I thought about the dimensions required for that space and... that's not a room. That's a cupboard.

This makes two times I've helped someone unpack. This is a good thing.

I'm curious as to why. Do you enioy having control over the arrangement of other people's possessions?

Also, I iust realised I didn't actually read most of that post before quoting it.

ION: I'm slightly amused. Secretary of other G&S society got my address slightly wrong when sending me my welcome letter. I corrected her on Sunday and she sent me another one, which arrived yesterday. The original one, mistake presumably having been figured out, arrived today.

Oh, and first night of Ruddigore went well. People in the audience mentioned my bits among their favourite parts of the show. My ego is sated. For now.

[KuReshtin]

Well, that's your problem right there. Should've eaten something before helping someone moving in and unpacking.
takes a whole lot of energy to do that, and if you haven't had anything to eat, then a headache is very possible.


ION: I've got the end credits song from portal stuck in my head now.
Mostly cause I can't stop replaying it on YouTube, but also becuase it's so damn catchy and upbeat while also being so sinister in it's undertones.

I mean with a line like:

I've experiments to run
There's research to be done
On the people who are
Still Alive.

How can you not love it?

[Thufir]

That there is a weird coincidence, because Tasroth iust put it on on the main computer on the other side of the room to me. It finished right before I read this post.

Edit: OK, not a coincidence, he put it on after reading that post.

[Dogmantra]

How can you not love it?

I love it because it introduced me to JoCo.

[CurlyKitGirl]

I don't know. I iust like helping people unpack. I've been told (by Uni Husband and his Little Brother (aka: jebob)) that when I pack I'm scarily efficient, so I like being able to help people unpack so they can get the onerous duty out of the way.

*Huggles*
Also, I iust realised I didn't actually read most of that post before quoting it.

I'm better now, so everything's fine. Heck, I'm even making a sandwich in a minute.

Congratulations. I hope there'll be cast photos later on, and that every night goes as well, or better than the first.

Uni Husband came down at lunchtime. The grapes were my breakfast (how on earth did I use an entire loaf of bread in three days?!) and the chocolate was effectively lunch.
It's probably why I got the headache, but when you get a headache that bad eating flies right out the window.

I don't know why, but this amuses me so much.

ION:
There are now people moving in and unpacking right across the street from me. I can see into their rooms.
Should I wave?

you would be amazed how paranoid you can make people!

Hey, don't invalidate my reasons for hugging you.

Congratulations. I hope there'll be cast photos later on, and that every night goes as well, or better than the first.

Photos will all be on facebook (I think my portrait will be my new profile picture), and some in the You thread, once the show is finished.
If anyone wants to see my magnificent costume before then, they have to come to/be in Newcastle. Well, Monkseaton to be precise. Near Newcastle.

(how on earth did I use an entire loaf of bread in three days?!)

Skill and perseverance? Honestly I have no idea how that could happen with only one person eating it.

It's probably why I got the headache, but when you get a headache that bad eating flies right out the window.

Now imagining Eating as some sort of winged creature.
*glingleglingleglingle*
Damn.

Well I know what I'm listening to now as I eat lunch.

Everyone loves GLaDOS.
