Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII (177)

[Perenelle]

Are you inviting me to watch you in your swimsuit? *is smacked*

That's nice. And wait, what? There were people who left?



It's, like, 11:11 PM at the latest!

*sticks tongue out at* nice try.

Well, maybe it just seems that way since there's so many new people.

Exactly! And now it's 11:27! You're making me break my bedtime!
I have no self control when it comes to getting off the Playground.

...that last bit is the reason I sometimes have to quit GitP in order to pass classes. =P


...in thinking on it, a beach meetup would probably be the only way I actually ever met you. Or at least more ideal for me, what with my beach house being roughly halfway between us. =P

[Elemental]

Someone was saying that I'm not DARKNESS IN EQUINE FORM?

And yes, sandcastles are great.

[Grue Bait]

There, there, they didn't mean it, Ele.

I haven't made, or even seen, a sand castle in years. Not enough beaches, too many mountains, I guess.

[Elemental]

I know they didn't mean it...
But what do I expect? I had a palomino avatar on over night. Someone was bound to comment.


Also, on the subject of coastlines, I'm not too far from the sea where I am.
A half hour drive at most and I'm at Redcliffe. There are plenty of beaches there.
However, when we do go there, we usually just look at the ocean for a bit because we're just passing through.

I live roughly 10 minutes' walk from the beach. I go to the beach maybe twice a year. Not a huge fan of all that wind and sand and stuff either.

The sunsets sure are nice, though.

I myself haven't been to the beach in years.
But the last time I looked at the ocean was pretty cool. We were getting a lot of wind and surf, so the sea was pretty wild.

Also, physically impossible for a sunset over the ocean where I live. I could go see a sunrise if I could be bothered getting up early enough.

[Feytalist]

Heh. I'm sure sunrises are pretty too, they happen just way too early for me to care.

I can actually see the ocean if I climb up onto my roof, which is something we sometimes do. Or go to the cocktail bar near the beach that allows you to see far out over the sea. Which is also pretty. Plus, you know, cocktails.

What I like is the mist coming off the water and onto the beach sometimes during certain parts of the year. Looks all spooky and ghostly and stuff.

[Elemental]

No ocean views where I live unfortunately.
But if sea levels rise by about a metre, then where I am will be almost waterfront real estate.

[Feytalist]

So I just spent roughly 2 hours in my boss' office talking about my work.

So... that was fun.

At least it's nice to know you matter.

Payrise imminent?


Overheard;
Girl 1: "Trains should have stop buttons so the driver knows whether he should stop or not"
Girl 2: "Yeah, but what if the train is full and you can't reach the button?"
Girl 1: "Oh that's a good point"
Boy: "The train stops at every stop because there are people at the stations who want to get on the train"
Girl 2: "That's just silly"

[Feytalist]

Payrise imminent?

Heh. I don't think I matter quite that much

One can but hope.


There's a coupla websites called "Overheard in <wherever>", is that where you got that quote? Or is that actually what you overheard?

Clearly they don't recognise talent?

There's a coupla websites called "Overheard in <wherever>", is that where you got that quote? Or is that actually what you overheard?

It's from a free newspaper that circulates around the Melbourne CBD; ostensibly people send in snippets of what they've overheard, but I'm unsure whether people are actually that stupid or mX (the newspaper) make some up for the lulz.

Equality and logic!

You are in high school are you not? My bed time is 11 as long as I don't have something to do for school, but I keep my laptop in my room so I've been up to 2 AM for most of the school year.

[Rawhide]

Equality and logic!

As much as I would like things to be equal, the sad fact is... society.

[Heliomance]

Its funy cuz you think you have to tell someone to watch Gargoyles.

I've never seen it.

That good sir is clearly photshop-ed.

Pretty certain it isn't. Cats can all swim, and some of them even enjoy it. The vast majority of mammals instinctively know how to swim, to a greater or lesser extent. Even human babies can do it.

Heh. I'm sure sunrises are pretty too, they happen just way too early for me to care.

Sunrises are way better than sunsets. The world's so fresh and clean.

[HalfTangible]

As much as I would like things to be equal, the sad fact is... society.

Society that only exists the way the members of that society decides it does.

So basically, people are stupid.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Bedtime?
*scoff*

Hey Perry. You'll be in Year 2 IB next year. When you get the chance to go to bed at Midnight, you will CRY in RELIEF.

My usual bedtime the last year has been 1, or 2.

[LaZodiac]

So, I saw the Avengers movie.

Perfect.

I have been hearing this from far too many people. It's always either perfect or meh. There is no such thing as perfect. (Which means it must be meh. )

Quadrapedality has its advantages.

Ok, let me elaborate.

It did everything it had to do to live up to the hype it spent 5 movies generating, in my personal opinion.

[cycoris]

Anyone have suggestions as to what colour lipstick I should wear with a plain bright red dress? My options are:

• bright red (close enough to be a match)
• coral/pinkish red
• maroon
• champagne
• brown
• glittery lip gloss
• no lipstick

I'm in Uni and I go to bed at around 11 to 12 (granted I actually plan for it and have to make concessions for that to happen). High School had me up to 3 A.M. on certain days.

All my lipstick answers begin and end with one word: Black. : ) / : (
But seeing as that is mostly fitting for painting rogueish moustaches on your face, I would go with .. the bright red? Maybe the brown. I don't know a thing about lipsticks or colour theory, but I imagine those two. Or maroon. Because it's on your mouth, I would think that it needs to be darker than the dress so as not to take focus away from your eyes. Of course, it also depends on the colour of your skin. And how bright a bright red dress is.
Oh, I know nothing, I just have a lot of opinions.

What's the occassion?
