I can't remember the last time I bought something off of e-bay.

I think it was Starship Troopers minis...

...'course, Mongoose drove that game into the ground like a tent peg.

Great, Ego, now you've got me growling too...

I dreamt about a carnivorous plant last night. It was eating all the mice.

Better than it eating you, right?
I once had a very strange dream, in which I was sitting in math class when suddenly a wolf popped up holding a shotgun and shot and killed the whole class, me included.

I don't often dream because I'm usually rather tired when I go to bed and don't pause to think about it in the morning.

Also, are there any playgrounders in the Warwick area that I should know about? Why? Because I'm going to Warwick! Woo!

People don't get hurt in their dreams? Is that even possible?

Nearly all of my dreams end up with an injury, or death, or some such problem.

I had one a few nights ago, for instance, where I was wandering with some army in an icey place, the army vanished except for a school fiend friend. Walked into a building, got told that this was the resting place of an evil warlock, looked into the well, and got killed by a Might and Magic spell (Toxic Cloud ).

Although it wasn't normal...it was the "Thief" death, where you can still see people walking around you. Hear them also. It was almost like I'd fainted rather than died...

Eh. I don't look into dreams much for meaning. They're amusing to think about in the morning, but otherwise don't do much for me other than make sleep an interesting experience.

@^ England, I presume.

Ok, now I'm confused. Is Warwick a place, a school, or both? And if it's both, why are you implying that in this case, it's the latter?
Aaaaugh! So confused!

Warwick is a place in the UK and it also refers to the University of Warwick.

I would point you to my location below my avatar, but apparently I'm in "tackleford".

Yes. England. It is a university most known for its mathematics and is one of the foremost in the UK. It is also the only one of two universities which require STEP exams for admissions.

Not only does getting into it save me a whole lot of trouble on account of it being the only university I visited, it is also very neat.

This calls for a celebratory sentence!

And there we have it! Hurrah!

Ah, I see. I thought that it's possible that Warwick is over here in New England since tons of towns over here have English names (hence the name New England).

America steals place names the way English steal vocabulary. Cornwall is a town somewhere in the Northern States of the US. Even though it's a county here.

And I am very happy today. I even bought (and gave) Best Friend her b-day pressie. And it was part celebratory considering the epic grades she got. Ironically though, the one where she got straight As in her units is the one she's dropping next year.


Oh, her b-day pressie was Good Omens. She's been wanting it for months.

I've had some dreams where I've been either chatting on IM or posting in HALO recently as well, but I don't think I've ever had any general GitP dreams (it would be neat to see the town which Dallas mentioned a while back, though).

Good Omens is fantastic. I only read it recently (yesterday) I'd never read it before. I don't know why. I may have to read some of Mr. Gaiman's books now.

We don't steal the names Curly. It's the British who came here 300 years ago that gave New England all its town names.

QI told me that the naming conditions for places on Mars are a bit odd. Something like them having to be towns with under 50,000 people in them.

Also, I seem to recall a dream in which I was meeting YPU's friends who apparently like One Piece.

...Too much AIM chat...

AIM chat would be a much duller place if it wasn't for your zaniness, Zero.

Also, I'm not surpirsed about the whole Mars thing. Imagine there being a place called London, Manchester or New York on Mars?

On the subject of dreams, I remembered mine from last night... Weird how I forgot it up until now!

Anywho, I think I was crawling through some 8-bit sewer looking for Sweeney Todd, for whatever reason (maybe the You thread and Mister Saturnine :P). I spent the whole time hiding and crawling away from these sprite-like spiders and rats.

I then heard someone walking down (yes, walking... The ceiling was too low for me to even crouch!) the sewer laughing. So naturally, I saved the dream as if it were a video game. Just as a shadow crept around the corner, I woke up.

I had a dream.

It involved a post-disaster London (unspecified) in which gangs roamed the streets and everything had pretty much reverted to steam power, or was running on the scarce remaining oil. Some gangs were trying to control the railways/tube system so had these massive trains with crains on the back to steal other trains and pneumatic legs so they could transfer from one track to the other. And all the major train station (King's Cross, Waterloo, etc.) Had been taken over and turned into bases with anti train cannons and manufacturing lines and stuff. And all sorts of other stuff. And it was a cool setting for something, like a story or comic if I could write at all or get off my lazy arse long enough to find a fitting style to draw it with.

Love that film so much I have two avvies based on it. And I know all the songs off by heart. And most of the dialogue.
And want some Nightmare Before Christmas goodies for Christmas - perhaps they'll get the hint this time.
