Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104

[CurlyKitGirl]

@Spiceboy: well, twenty five hours of homework a week; plus wider reading. You get to do that once you start A2.

I only do that for French. Or literally minutes before she comes into the room. It's actually quite funny to watch because everyone who hasn't done it copies off those who have while making just enough changes/mistakes to make her think we've all done it on our own.
I do do it on my own more often than not.
And it's not every week where you get three essays all due in the end of the week. And all set that week too.

@Edge: There's a penny under your desk because the demi - faery of Desks dropped his weekly pay. Leave it there so he can feed his family for a month. Trust me on this.

[Jibar]

<Adm. Akbar>IT'S A TRAP!</Adm. Akbar> They want to use you to fill up their less popular courses. The Lit+Phil course at Ploughman's Academy is undersubscribed; what does this tell you about the course?

(lemme guess: required grades EE, or point equiv.)

I know...

If Bangor says no then...
I don't know what...

"Awesome requires no explanation." -- Jibar McHabdabson

Heh, I'd forgotten about that one.

Can't be. My room is lined with cold iron. No fae could possibly enter.

[Dr. Bath]

Aaaaah. I remember when... The constant feeling that you were juggling 100 things at once, and that people were throwing ever more at you. Working nights until your eyes swam and you were writing on automatic. Chunking set texts on your breaks at work. Revising on the bus. Polishing essays during assembly. And the sheer wonder of being able to deliver it all on the required deadline dates. Felt like Hermes half the time, and Sisyphus the rest. Great days.

Yes...handing it in... that's what happens.... yeeess...

...

>_>

<_<

I ain't even sent off the form yet, even though everything's done (even the reference. Finishing up with 5 A grades? Uhm. That's gonna happen.). I need to be interviewed by the headmaster (he was on the news y'know) before I can send it, and he's away this week.... ¬_¬

UCAS?
Meh. I'm a special case, you don't need to until December, but the earlier the better.
Speaking of; Canterbury Christ replied thanking me for applying today. Three to go now.
Anywho. I've not seen my refeence so I'm just taking it as read that they were nice to me. Still, I know you can get five As so don't be derogatory to yourself; that's a very silly thing to do.
And why was he on the news? And why'd you have to see him anyway?

@Edge: demi - faery. He's part fae so he's resistant to cold iron. I'm surprised Hist Stigness doesn't eat them thoughl

[Uncle Festy]

Those short lists remind me of the elements song.

Ah, that is an awesome video. Introduced me to Tom Lehrer, that did.
Great man, great songs.
*starts humming "it makes a fellow proud to be a soldier"*

[Eldpollard]

Ah Tom Lehrer is fantastic. I was brought up listening to him because of my dad. I could recite poisoning pigeons in the park by the time I was 9.

That is a disturbing song. For some reason I've always stayed clear of his music. It just never held much appeal for me.

[mercurymaline]

Files corrupted...Save game lost...I'm back in Tribal Stage! WTF?!? I played for like, 2 days, and it's all gone. Curse you, Spore! Curse yoouuuuu!

[Eldpollard]

Oh certainly it's a disturbing song. But it seems to me it would be so much worse if he'd said kittens instead of "pigeons."

I'm sorry to hear about your spore woes MorbidWombat.

Nooooo! Spore! Why!??!

[dish]

I just shut my thumb in the window. It hurts like crazy. I don't think it's broken or anything, so I'll probably just have a huge bruise under my nail that'll last for months. (If it swells up to twice normal size or anything I'll go and get it checked out.)

So, that was
a) stupid (if you find this usage of 'stupid' offensive, please replace with 'ridiculously clumsy' or 'unbelievably absent-minded') and
b) incredibly painful.

[Vizen]

YES! Another week down! 14 more school days to go!

Oh gods, Dish. You'll be fine though!

In the great scheme of things, this is but an infinitesimal blip. It just happens to be hurting quite a lot right this now.

How long a holiday will you be getting?

[mercurymaline]

Nooooo! Spore! Why!??!

It saved everything I made, all my achievements. But not my progress. Again, I must say, WTF? Oh well, at least I got to USE my Birds-of-Prey this time around.

Whoops, sorry, I went somewhere else...

My holidays? Well....If it helps, this is my last year of school. Though in 2010 im planning on going to Uni. Studying to become a teacher.

...Guess I have plenty more years of school to go before retirement, huh? xD

[randman22222]

he also did the New Math song. It took me a loooooong time (and actually writing out what he was saying) to get what he was talking about and that it really DOES make sense.

Oh now that was awesome.
But, err, do they really teach that anywhere?

And now I'll have to look up that poisoning pigeons song. But there's a little voice in my head telling me not to...
Awwe well, screw that voice.

EDIT: Watched it. My mind has just warped a little bit more.

[bosssmiley]

Can't be. My room is lined with cold iron. No fae could possibly enter.

But what if the Fae disguise themselves as ducks? You go to suck the moisture from one, and BAM! pixie inna face.

[Edge]

"Some say that all his knees are hydraulic, and if you wait until after midnight, he's allergic to pixies... all we know is... he's called The Stig."

One of my own invention. You can probably tell.

Ahh, good ol' Tom. He was the epitome of nerd songs...

Until Jonathan Coulton, that is...

I think you need to manually save it. It doesn't auto save progress. It could have just messed up of course.

[Skippy]

I spent all afternoon yesterday playing Portal. Now I'm looking for my gravity, I seem to have lost it somewhere.

[TwoBitWriter]

Greetings, everyone, from my honeymoon in Florida!

I'm on the computer at the hotel right now, and can't cover too many details yet, but so far my honeymoon adventures include two days at Disneyworld, feeding Alligators and Crocodiles, getting into a boxing match with the Atlantic Ocean (I lost...,) and kayaking through a Zoo.

I fly back to Oklahoma tomorrow and will likely post more then, with pictures!

Been there. After a weekend of Portal I spend a Monday morning annoyed that I couldn't just bore POrtals to the places I needed to be in the office (non-open plan, but good sight lines).

"If I zapped the desk here, and then the wall there I could file this lot sooooooo easily. Let gravity do the hard work. Dammit, reality sucks."

Glad you and MrsWriter have been having a good time. See you in a couple of days.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It was so annoying walking all the way to the bus stop when I could just have opened a portal and jumped in...

TwoBitWriter: Have an awesome time, enjoy it and come back here soon!

[Archonic Energy]

"If I zapped the desk here, and then the wall there I could file this lot sooooooo easily. Let gravity do the hard work. Dammit, reality sucks."

more like if i zapped the floor here, and the exterior wall there, and knocked loudly on my bosses door...

instant promotion!

[Dallas-Dakota]

DD demands more Catmuffincon from Jibar.

And he's been listening to songs over and over again on Hyves.nl ...

[Jibar]

So I spend a month working on my drama in the background. I'm fleshing it all out, making all these plans for multimedia, doing my research to make it all correct. I'm trying my best to make this play I don't like the best it can be.
Now, I'm not an assertive fellow or one who has any shred of self confidence, so I'm doing all this in secret. When everybody else is sitting and arguing about where we're going or what we're doing, I'm sitting and writing about some idea in my book or fiddling with the lights to get the perfect hue. So when she looks through all our books, she comes to mine, looks at it and writes inside "These ideas are good. It's obvious you've really been working hard on it. You just have to share these with the group."
So we sit down today, and I go over it all.
And it's a no. From everybody.



Gee, thanks guys. I'm just gonna go back to not saying anything and fiddling with the lights.
See you all in December, when maybe you'll have all agreed on something.
Brilliant addition to an already horrid day.

Ugh.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Jibar, you can come back to them just before the deadline when they still haven't achieved anything.

[Oregano]

I'm like that Jibjab, although I'm weirdly confident was I star talking; I usually figure out everything for myself before sharing it and sometimes gets told I'm wrong and stuff but it doesn't matter, I know my ideas are good.

I like working in groups though, tis fun to mix and match ideas and I'm always arguing with one of my friends.
