I really love Footloose, it was on TV a few days ago and I watched the whole thing and loved every single second.

On another note- how annoying is it when you go to reply to something and realise that someone else hasn't logged themselves out on the computer you're using.

Fuck, gotta stop falling asleep at my desk. I just woke up to realise I'd summarised an article about fish-farming as "John is forced to go into a haunted house by a drug dealer". I have no idea where that came from.

For the past two days I have been finding it very funny to talk like God just Raptured my arse, and now I will value my life so very much, because I drove off a cliff. I laugh like fuck whenever I say this, because what really happened was the back wheel of the car came off the road while my girlfriend was making a three-point-turn.

It must have been about 5ft above a field, and no one else finds it funny.

I find it a little funny. Very dramatic.

I would like to cast the final white chocolate vote, if I may. I love it, but its got to be thin- the little thin milkybars, or even the buttons, but not so much the big chunks. Ruins the delicacy. But thats definately a yes vote. MmmmmM.

The other day I was told, by my supervisor, to get a code for a jumper, even if it meant phoning other stores. Today I did that, and called about 5 before I got it.
After I did, my supervisor told me to stop calling other stores.
For. Fuck. Sake.

And my man has decided his heads a bit screwed up just now, which seems to make him think that its a really good idea to fuck me about, and ignore me, and not tell me whats going on.

So all this put me in a bad mood.
So I went and got with my exgf instead.

Originally posted by, er, me: I learnt to dance from the pictures in comic books, which blah blah blah

Goddammit, argghh. Shit! Fuck! Etc. In a classic, ‘what I should have said is...’ moment, I now realise, only 24 hours too late, that ‘the curt swan’ is a) actually, a fab name for a dance move, and b) also a pretty good description of my dancing ‘style’. What a missed opportunity. I am officially confirmed as Barbelith’s dimmest. And the worst dancer here, duh.

I’m actually sitting here in white socks tonight, 80's style. I’d like to claim it’s an homage to Kevin Bacon’s twinkle toes, but of course it’s just boring old laundrette-fatigue.

And I cannot believe a majority is in favour of white chocolate, as a concept. The world’s gone mad.

I jsut want the wating over. I want to move back to Southampton/home/away again. I'm in my room listening to Weezer, like I'm fucking 15 again or something.

When was the last time you ate white chocolate, bedhead?
Its not technically chocolate, because it doesnt contain cocoa solids, but whatever the fuck it is- its tasty. Likewise, I thought I hated pizza and mince pies for a looong time, but alas, both were tried and liked, and now im a fatty.

I did a see-how-long-you'll-live test. Apparently I'll live to 91. Christ, I hope someone mows me down before then, I dont think I could take it. 91 years- thats more than five of me put together. AAAAAAh!

I dunno, chief, I can't dance without biting my lower lip and looking like a goof.

Hey, I can't even dance if I do bite my lower lip and look like a goof.

21:19 / 03.01.04

Gaahggh. Anybody up for some lateshifting? I’ve got a really nasty cold. My throat’s so raw it feels like I’ve been gargling bleach. Bleach with some drawing pins mixed in with it. I’ve completely lost the power of speech so I’m sitting in front of a computer feeling sorry for myself. Let’s talk about chocolate and superheroes and booze and the last film I watched was and la la la la.

Mazarine

21:22 / 03.01.04

Hi Bedhead. I'm up and around, just ate the last of the oreos. Whatcha doin' this evening?

Bed Head

21:42 / 03.01.04

Hello Maz, happy new year! Er, bedhead’s evening so far: read a bit, played some records, listlessly scribbled in a sketchbook. There’s something I should be getting finished for next week which I haven’t even started yet, but I get ill so very rarely that this nasty cough is really ticking me off. The outrage of it!

I suppose I should have wrapped up and braved the elements and gone out to buy some gloopy cough medicine, but it’s been horribly rainy and cold out today and I just couldn’t do it. So I’ve been mainly wrapped up in a blanket in front of the fire all day, listening to match after match of football on the radio.

What are Oreos, anyway? They’re always getting mentioned in comics. Are they like biscuits? I mean, cookies?

Mazarine

21:48 / 03.01.04

An oreo is two black colored chocolate cookie wafers with vanilla cream in the middle.

bitchiekittie

21:49 / 03.01.04

ooh, they're terrific. they're two crisp chocolate cookies with creme smooshed in between. you can also buy "double stuft" with twice as much creme in between, or chocolate creme in the center. especially doubly nice when dipped in milk...mmmm

Shrug

21:52 / 03.01.04

I've heard reference to Panda's being camouflaged in an oreo factory which leads me to believe they are black and white too.

Are they like kimberely biscuits?

kimberley biscuit

oreo cookie. they're best when hand dipped with chocolate. mmm

Bed Head

22:08 / 03.01.04

They do actually sound good. Hmmmmm, I wonder if anywhere over here sells them? I’ll have to have a look now.

The only slight drawback might be the American version of chocolate, which I have to admit I’m not a big fan of. When I went to New York, the very first thing I bought was a Hershey Bar, and it was, like, devastatingly un-chocolatey, I thought.

Not that I'm an expert, no way. You've sold them to me, BK!

22:42 / 03.01.04

Christ, chocolate. There is a tradition at my new(ish) job of bringing in chocolates, particularly when one has come back from abroad but also just generally. It got utterly ridiculous in the run-up to Christmas, and I was feeling like an indigenous people having their first run-in with syphillis: no defence mechanism at all. It is all rather unpleasant, really. I intend to shun the stuff his year, along with cigarettes. Unfortunately, I understand that forgoing chocolate and fags simultaneously is rather tricky...

Bed Head

22:49 / 03.01.04

How’s that going Haus? The shunning-of-booze-and-fags thing, I mean. It’s technically the 4th already, have you managed to hold out?

ONLY NICE THINGS

22:55 / 03.01.04

Not brilliantly...I had a coupel of pints with Mordant and Lurid and others yesterday, and also two cigarettes. Still, if I can keep it down to two cigarettes a week that will be a v. good start. I may have to give up on having much of a social life for a while, though.

Ha well. How you?

Cat Chant

23:04 / 03.01.04

I just watched eight episodes of Friends** and now I'm looking at post-apocalyptic boyband photomanips. That should qualify me for the lateshift, right?

**which I paid to get out of the video shop and all of which it turns out I'd seen before

Bed Head

23:10 / 03.01.04

post-apocalyptic boyband photomanips

Wha-huh? Going to point us in the right direction? Or post some in the thread for us to supply comedy captions? Or just describe what you’re looking at? Sounds great

Earth has been ravaged by a deadly virus, leaving only N'Sync alive?

Cat Chant

23:24 / 03.01.04

Sorry, Bed Head, I was about to post the link but there's stuff there that I might not should be showing around here. Yes, though, Earth has been ravaged by a deadly virus, leaving only *NSYNC alive, and one of them (No, I don't know which one! He is called "JC", so he can't be Justin Timberlake, presumably) is wearing a pink scarf because the artist couldn't photomanip him into a dress.

Incidentally I told the author/artist that I'd been spreading her fame around recently, Haus, and she says to tell everyone who was at the meet that it's all true except for the bit where they repopulate the earth.

ONLY NICE THINGS

23:27 / 03.01.04

Ah, but at least they try, bless their tiny hearts.

I'm getting the symbolism. JC = Jesus Christ. Justin Timberlake is Adam and Joey is Eve. There's always one called Joey...

Cat Chant

23:31 / 03.01.04

Oh, God, now I'm reading random livejournals. At least this little gem:

Oh. My. God. I have about half a can of C-Free Diet Pepsi sitting here. I've been drinking from it for the last 15-ish minutes... But I thought it was Diet Sprite. When I drink it now I can totally tell it's not, and I even remember opening the Pepsi box, but... Weird.

has persuaded me that it is time to go to bed. Past time to go to bed.

The more I hear about this tale of NSYNC's desperate repopulation attempt the more I need to read it.

Cat Chant

23:53 / 03.01.04

The apopalypse (described as "Like The Stand meets Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, only with *NSYNC") is at her lj, and it's friendlocked, so alas, it cannot be seen by mere mortals.

Jesus, it's nearly 2. I'm going to bed. Honest.

Bed Head

00:10 / 04.01.04

it cannot be seen by mere mortals

Curses, foiled again, etc. I started having trouble telling boy bands apart after Take That though, to be honest. N*SYNC and the Backstreet Boys and whoever that other lot were, they might not represent the deepest of gene pools. Give it a few generations and the world would be full of grotesque superpowered mutants, all with doe eyes and ginormous cheekbones.

Vaguely and intermittently only, I fear - am in the other room trying to impose a bit of order before my flatmate gets back tomorrow...
