Fax, surely, sent by one's PA? Texts are a bit too personal IMHO.

I know a certain scientist who believes in nothing that cannot be empirically proven. Except, apparently, in the power of telepathy to solve hir problems for hir. Thus far there have been no empirical data to indicate that this works. For reasons best left undisclosed, this RENDERS A MAN WONDROUS WROTH.

Sorry, wrong thread.

There's water dripping through my bathroom ceiling. The woman in the upstairs flat knows nothing about it.

I just shook the metal frame of the lightshade to see how fast the water was coming, and gave myself an electric shock (I'm not particularly clever today).

I really hope this stops soon. If I have to call the landlord, things could get complicated. I'm not supposed to have a dog here.

Ah well. It seems to be slowing now, at least.

Why, since you ask: No. No, I do not consider "what side they will fight on come Ragnarök" to be an adequate standard by which to judge a person's character, let alone the only standard by which to judge a person's character. May I suggest that you really need to take off the helmet which I suspect you wear when you type on the internets, change your pants, and get out more?

For the past two days I have been Between Projects at work, and I am so bored that it's turning into a kind of low-grade trauma. When you find yourself hitting refresh on the Books forum, you know you've had it.

I love the morning when you wake up and find that the head-cold that's been circling for the last few days finally lands on you and promptly decides to upgrade itself to 'flu. Grand.

Despite wearing thermal socks and a pair of Chuck Taylors my feet have, for some reason, bottomed out to just above freezing point. Yet the rest of me is fine. The fug?

Dear Parents,
you remember when the younger child was diagnosed with Aspergers, and it was a real drain, and you basically ignored your other children for five years? ANd you said that was ok, because "he's got an invisible disability and you wouldn't ask a cripple to do hurdles". And as a result I grew up vastly introverted and disconnected and the youngest child is turning into a drug dealer just to get your attention?

Well, I accept that you didn't really have a choice about that. That's not what's pissing me off right now. What's pissing me of is the way you keep treating me like I'm just being lazy and self indulgent. I'm not. I'm mentally ill. What you might call "an invisible disability". But you still expect me to be the same pliant twat I was when I still lived with you. You never ask the two younger ones to work round the house, becase they would tell you to fuck off. But, because I am a soft touch you'll ask me too.

I know you don't as me to do a lot, and I'm sorry that I'm not managing the tiny amount your asking. But the fact is, apathy and long periods of inaction are a part of my "invisible disability" and you every time you look at me like that or sigh and act like I'm kicking you in the face with my laziness I just fill with rage because I'm trying quite fucking hard and you are applying a double standard just because I'm more quite with my madness than he was.

I'm going to do a shit on the worktop just to highlight my crazy.


...No I'm not. I'm going to do nothing, and we won't talk, and I'll go back to recluse-town having achieved nothing.

Dude, you just totally upped the ante for the "oh dear" thread. Where am I supposed to kvetch about living too far from the girl I am thoroughly totally mad about without feeling trivial and self-indulgent?

19:24 / 29.01.07
Nah. I'm framing it as worse than it is. Please, share your long distance pain with us. If it makes you feel better, my lond distance SexPig being so far away is probably connected to the feelings of wanktitude. And I think that bothers me more than the nutob rents.

So imagine I was complaining about that instead. Then share. Share with us. Give your emotions to the Borgolith.

Well, that was pretty much it, actually. Me likey person, person live too far away to hug. Sad now. That's pretty much the size of it. That, and the actual physical ache that seems to lurk in my bones 24/7 now. Stupid geography.

19:40 / 29.01.07
Much sympathy. I would offer a hug of condolence, but alas, many more stupid geographies.

About an hour and a half ago, I thought of asking barbelith for cookie recipes. I couldn't decide if this was worthy of its own thread or if I should resurrect the gastronomicon thread for it. in the end i decided that my need for cookies was not worthy of barbelith's attention. an hour and a half later, i have just pulled the most craptastic cookies ever made out of the oven. slightly burned.

Pagan Soc seems to be dying a death, and no-one seems to care except the Exec (of which I am one) who have no clue how to fix it! Everyone goes off to play with Medieval Soc every single day and no-one turns up to anything... except the anthropology student who's studying the society.

Last year the exec was a well known clique who had been here forever... they all left and no-one listens to us... we're all just second years.

Despite running the workshops and talks enthusiastically requested, no-one shows up... and despite the rage people had for our ritual site being wrecked, 2 people turned up for the drinks AFTER the 'fix-the-site-session.

I have no desire to run the ritual thursday... and the other 2 people who are planning it are vaguely unstable... prefix their names with 'crazy' and thats how we distinguish them from all the others that share a given name!

Urgle. Mew.

On top of that, I've ranted too much about it here and am quite frankly bored of it! *sighs* Bloody Lampathy.

Start a feud with ChristSoc. That'll get people active, behind the chapel at midnight, bats and chains but no gats or knives. FITE!

The Evangelical Christian Union (Not affiliated with the Students Union because they refuse to allow homosexuals) trashed the ritual site last year, but no feud happened. The majority of Pagan Soc are off honing their skills in battle at Medieval Soc instead.

If they're all Really reincarnations of celtic warrior priests, shouldn't they be jumping at the chance to slaughter a few Christians?

I have that pressing headache cold thing and its sucking me of my will to live, and I have have to go sit through seven hours of work with the public before going to the Accomplice's birthday party despite the urge to crawl back into bed and try to sleep. I'm grumpy.

Well, now I´m angry.

Phone rings.
Me: Hello.
Caller: Good evening. This is blahblah from Munich. Do I talk to Mr M.?.
Me: Thanks, but no.
Seconds after I´ve hung up it rings again and it´s
the same guy: "I only wanted to...".
Me: I don´t want to buy anything.
About two seconds later, he calls again! For years, I´ve been nice to these callers, but enough is enough. I´ve had a very negative experience with these calls recently, and from now I´ll just hang up without a word (although this seems impolite) the moment they start with that infamous first question.

And on the street it´s the same. Two hours ago, I´m walking down the road, when all of a sudden a guy jumps in front of me and is blabbing away about his whatever, holding sheets of paper (probably some sales agreement). His dianetic, newspaper abo and greenpeace friends are lurking a couple of meters away. The streets are crowded enough as it is, without people trying to hustle me. This makes me even more misanthropic as usual.

Dude, same kind of thing happened to me a few weeks back. Phone rings, it's some woman trying to sell me more internets. I tell her I'm not interested and put the phone back down. A few minutes later she calls again: "Yes, I was speaking to you a minute ago, but we got cut off..." No! No we didn't! I hung up on you! I hung up on you because I'm not buying your internets! Now shut up and be hung up on quietly, annoying person.
