Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Heh, here I'm sitting in pyjamas as well and try to determine in which ways my life beat yours, and in which ways it's the other way around. Also, wasn't your alcohol tolerance way up in the sky, Curly? You might want to take it easy on your liver...
Yeah, I should go to sleep. Exam in the early morning and my headache seems to be completely oblivious to the concept of painkillers. Oh joy.
ION:
Now it's official, I'm going to be a lab assistent for the freshment the coming two half-semesters. I'm getting to help people with stuff I'm good at and I'm going to get paid for it as well. Jay!
Oh well, off to bed with me. Good night, everyone!Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

I want to sleep.
I'm at work. I've been up for 30 hours, on shift for ten. Switched from my usual evening to an opening shift. I was told to wait just a moment, then I could go. An hour ago. In getting paid to sit here and not sleep. If I sleep, I don't get paid. It's hell.
But hey, it's interesting banter!Last edited by SiuiS; 2012-10-17 at 04:27 PM.

In the past few days I think I've made a friend
Along with my growing list of acquaintances (no fewer than several of whom could become friends) I've almost got more of a social life here after about 5 weeks than I did after 12 years in Cambs

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
I can understand the fanfiction, not everyone's into it, and frankly, I'm the reigning queen of fanfiction around here, so stuff.
I think I can understand not enjoying the eye candy. Maybe. Possibly. I concede that it might be possible not to enjoy watching videos of pretty people (of any sex, gender, orientation, real or fictional). Personally, I think everyone has some kind of eye candy they enjoy, so enjoy whatever makes you happy.
I am however intrigued by 'never really tried booze'. Was there a reason for never trying it, or you just never got around to trying it? If the latter I highly recommend martini and lemonade simply because I think it's a nice starter drink for making one's initial ventures into alcohol. It's not overpowering, but the presence is certainly there so you're actually aware of imbibing alcohol, and it tastes very nice.
Eh. We'll just have to throw an alcohol free pity party with extra films, chocolate and ice cream to make up for it. How's that?
Also, and it may be the ice cream talking, but when I eventually get to Canada, meetup?
But I do think you're on the wrong side of the other country compared to Kneen, Gwyn and so on yes? Oh who cares, in this sugar fuelled fantasy you're at this meetup even if you live in a scientific outpost at the magnetic north pole. So, at this hypothetical meetup we shall go drinking you and I, and we shall sup on the varied brews of the icy stretches of Canada, and taste the fruity ciders of warmer climes, and imbibe the tinglingly tangy taste of the common mixer until we find the drink that calls to you; a veritable siren to your tastebuds.
I just found and drank about a third of a pints worth of straight martini over the course of an hour, occasionally mixing with fruit juice.
My liver is fine.
My stomach though is saying that seeing as dinner was essentially a bust (on a related note, I only realised half an hour ago I sliced a fair chunk of my thumb off while doing the spuds - not a reason for the suckiness of the dinner before you ask - they were entirely blood and flesh free) it only contains 500ml of ice cream and roughly a litre and a half of acoholic mixers. Oh, and a packet of cheesy doritos. So I might be in for a tummy ache later.
And don't worry, still haven't gotten drunk yet. Am contemplating going on a proper bender once I find some real life friends again though. For curiosity's sake if nothing else.
Oh, and considering the news below, your life is definitely better than mine in the job/education/friends angle.
No alcohol for you then. This is most definitely a non-alcoholic pity party then.
Congratulations!
Full of self pity, yes, but interesting nontheless.
You in for the non-alcoholic party? We have quesedillas. I had them once in Oxford with two of my best friends. Good God they were yummy and scrummy.
High fives!
And how's uni at Exeter going for you Devmaar? You're in a Humanities related subject right?
You have online friends though.
Granted it's not precisely the same, but it's something.
ION:
Yeah, I need to get my nails done, I just scratched three bloody holes in my left leg.
Am now in search of plasters.
And then I anticipate tomorrow's pain as I've not done my legs in a while and taking plasters off hair canes like a female dog.
To plasters. yaaay~.
Bathatar!

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
I wasn't around in that era and I was never in AMEN, but I still recognise quite a few of those people.
Ditto. Yay Good Omens.
...and now I might have to add that to the list of things I'm going to re-read, after Nation (I've been on a Pratchett kick since watching the televisation of Going Postal a little over a month ago) and Pride and Prejudice (I want to go back to the original having been enjoying the Lizzie Bennet Diaries on youtube).
Well, because the character is kind of a drug-addicted slut and a terrible person, whereas you're you. Those do not match up very well in my head.
That would be one. Then there's your temper. The facility with which you dream up horror stories off the top of your head. The levels of scorn you can bring to bear on things you feel are deserving of it. The fact that you're an eldritch abomination.
An addendum to this is to realise that the internet people you're meeting are probably just as nervous as you are, or at least were just as nervous the first time they went to a meetup. Even if they don't appear so (I had no idea Curly was that nervous at her first meetup, for example).
Wait, that's you?
Huh.
I'm a twenty-four and a half year old jobless male living in a bedroom too small to really do anything in, sitting in the dining room wasting my life away on the internet every night as a general rule and even failing to many of the things I want to do for myself.
OK, you win this pity party. I do have nearby friends. And while I would happily do all of those things with you I lack the means to visit Cornwall on whim.
Neither do I. I think a lot of people just make it up as they go along. Though admittedly I imagine having a pre-existing social circle kinda helps in that regard.
For a face-to-face conversation, would Skype be sufficient? Because I could do that. I'm always willing to talk to you.
As far as the acquisition of lives goes, again, I don't really know. I kind of stumbled into mine via old school friends and the choir friends and internet and G&S.
Whingeception. Serp does it as well.
You were right, at some point. Not any more, for quite a while.
What? Who doesn't like eye-candy?
Come visit me and Newcastle and go on a bender up here! We're supposed to be like the best city in England for drinking or something.
(Yeah, I'm still really curious to see what happens if you get actually drunk. Also note that if you do, I will be drinking much less than you, lest you have to carry me home)"'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Okay, hopefully this doesn't stretch the page by a metre.
*hugs* Thank you for your kind words and your interesting stories.
Last month's National Geographic had an article about the favelas in Rio de Janero, which authorities are trying to tame in time for the 2016 Olympics to be held there: they sound dangerous. Your mother and sister must be tough.
Why do you have a bias against French? ;____;
In that case, I would travel out of my native environs and meet you elsewhere: so that you would not repatriate with barbarous tales. So that Canada would leave you with a sweet mapley taste in your mouth.
I like this name, "silky oak." It has a pleasant mouthfeel.
Please do upload your Grandma's orchid! Orchids are gorgeous [last year there was a NG article with photographs of incredible wild specimens], although I've never had the chance to cultivate one. The fanciest I get indoors is amaryllis.
Oh... Okay... It probably feels strange the first time a bird attacks your eyebrows though...
But I am used to cats pretend biting...
I should like that both of these ideas become art. I'm imagining a cartoonish style half horrible, half cute.
I will brew you a tea of dried poppy pods. Your pain will dissolve like a hot spoonful of syrup.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Oh, its setched by a bit more than a meter.
National Geographicac? in CANADA? The name, it lies! Especially if one 99999th of its articals are actually about America, mot of those being yellowstone/Alaska!
Knee, look at your sentence. now back to me. Now back to your setence. Sadly, it makes no sense. French is the language of the seductor devil after he got drunk and slurred his Spanish.
... Yeah, i got innuendo too.
Uhhh, I think she wants your brains.

*dizzy* But have you ever felt French in your mouth? Its elegant contours, its lilting rhythm, its consonants like buttered water chestnuts? Spanish is all dancing red flame; French is a glassy ribbon of water spread across a granite boulder.

Oh, dear. I've missed a lot in the few hours I was gone.
Everyone's posting incredibly long lists...
Too much to respond to/blithely ignore...
Maybe I'll actually respond to some of it!
Edit: And responses! (one at a time)
Bah! French is a wonderful language; it can be made just as smooth or harsh as you need it to be (as long as you don't plan on yelling all day; then you're better off with German or Russian (although neither of those are "romance" languages)). Kneenibble describes French perfectly.
Also, I think you mean two hundred years ago (not to knock France's involvement in WWI, but Napoleon's era was far more impressive). The phrase lingua franca didn't just appear out of thin air, you know.
Schweet!

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Mm, Spirit Week is making me happy. I skipped Pajama Day, Twin Day, and Superhero Day, but I'm doing GenderBender Day tomorrow, and I'mquite pleased with the results. I'll have to get p a bit earlier in order to apply the make-up, but I have seven fake mustaches, boxers, a nice 'boy' t-shirt, and a pair of pants that currently ride incredibly low.
Now that I'm wearing them right now. After all the clothes-changing, I whimsically decided to put myself in a full suit+bow tie.
Since I was taking off the make-up anyway, I also had fun being in malemclothes, male make-up, and then adding bright, bright red lipstick.
All in all, it's not too shabby considering I only got started at four this afternoon and first did a test an hour ago. ^.^
Pictures tomorrow! I'll make an effort to put the most masculine picture next to another picture of me wearing a dress and doing whatever ridiculous things I'll have to do in order to be 'presentable' for homecoming.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Yeah, got some fun times with the utilities and paychecks so I'm without water for, like, 3 days.
At least I'm a guy and not married to indoor plumbing, is all I can say. It just wouldn't work if I was having to singlehandedly haul water in buckets for three people to be able to use the plumbing.
As for the haul...Spoiler
Got some shelves. An oldschool pushmower that seems to be in working order. Couple of mirrors, a nice dresser, enough miscellaneous frozen food that my freezer is now completely full. I filled a... I think 5 gallon bucket full of all of the ice packs that were otherwise just going to get thrown out.
There was also a working type writer and a box full of vintage Easy Rider magazines that I'm not sure what we're going to do with them, but my flatmate insisted that I grab for her.
Couple of bookshelves, and a rug. A soldering iron that should work, one of those ladies' swivel mirrors that you put on a dresser and sit and use to apply makeup.
A granite or possibly marble slab that's big enough, if I sanitize it, to be used for such things as need such a thing in the kitchen, a bunch of gardening mesh, a sickle, some sheers, a backup snow shovel, a shovel, several lawnchairs. Couple of buckets. Bunch of blankets and towels and rugs/doormats/bathmats. I think some placemats which I don't know if I'll be able to put to any use, but they were bundled in with the rest, and I can use them for scrap fabric, I think, if no one is interested and I can't come up with a better use or save them for when/if I get to the point in my life where placemats are something relevant to me.
Kind of annoyed that I got there when I did, because they'd already dumped a nice table and a perfectly good twin bed, frame, box springs, mattress, and sheets into the dumpster before i got there, and while there wasn't anything on it and I could have gotten it out, it would have been a 2-3 person job to do so without hurting either myself or the swag.
I thought someone had set aside the television and television center as well, but it turns out they were just saving tossing that in the dumpster for last, so that was a rather horrible noise.
Other than that it was mostly knicknacks and some of the utility shelving and such that got tossed. Like, 4 boxes of just nothing but mugs went out there.
I don't know how they managed to get the fully functional antique freezer out of the basement though. If I'd have been able to and had some friends I'd have taken that thing in a heartbeat, because it was beautifully retro and pretty darn good at keeping cold.
I didn't find out till today what was what, the neighbors that were helping her had to set aside a bunch of stuff in order to help her pay her end of hiring the guys to clear out the house are a 77 year old woman and a nurse who works 10-12 hour shifts and so was only able to really deal with it at night.
I spent several hours just getting the stuff I wanted out of there. x.x

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
There's something wrong with this graf, but I can't quite place my finger on it.
I must admit though, I had thought low-rise pants were a female fashion that had jumped the gender gap to men's pants.
And I don't think that's quite the term for when pants have an inseam that affords room for a pair of socks.
I've forgotten all about those, haha. x,x

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
<grumbles> I meant the make-up I need to make my face more masculine. Y'know, turning my eyebrows into hedges, adding a light dusting of 'stubble'. Not everything will be achieved by the fake mustaches.
Girls don't either. They spend /days/.
Actually, afterwards, when I was fooling around, I did switch into a regular button-down shirt of mine that happens to be meant for dudes, then added a blazer with matching suit pants. And a bow tie. ^.^ It worked, altohugh the numbers of layers freaked me right out. (I'm still bad at wearing double layered clothes. I used to just use sweatshirts as normal shirts on really cold days to avoid wearing double-layers.)
Yeah. I love my school. In the middle of sixth period today a batman-voice impersonator told everyone over the intercom that whoever was dressed as a superhero to go meet up at 'headquarters'. I ran into Doctor Horrible in the first five minutes before school, who reported that they were going to take over the band-room piano and play 'My Eyes' during class. Twin Day (where everyone participating was attempting to be identical with a partner) had one kid come in holding a potted plant labeled '[His] Twin' while wearing a gillie suit.
My school rocks.
You get pictures. Do you also want the picture of me wearing lipstick and otherwise trying to look like a guy? They're quite entertaining.
Actually, they pants, even when totally low-riding, are completely covered by the t-shirt. <grumbles> It's quite annoying, as the boxers were a nice touch, IMO.
I didn't know that. I don't recall ever seeing that...
What term? I didn't even mention the pants, IIRC.Last edited by MoonCat; 2012-10-17 at 10:59 PM.
