I have no idea what the kids are calling it. No doubt something like "Tinky Winky"? Serioussly dude, the bloody yoof of today speak freakin' Gobbledegook, innit. My friend's baby can't even string a sentence together.

What's your dissertation on then Falconator? If you are about, and feel like saying.

(And I'm not offering to proof-read it)

Christ, Princess' post a wee bit up has given me a need for cheddar and houmous. I may put them on a digestive biscuit to mix things up a bit though.

Then I think I'll return to drawing and then bed. Working from 11 till 11 tomorrow. What's known in the biz as a bastard of a shift.

See you all later.

Keggers, I heard some of these new hoodies turns the kids into terrorists.
 
 
Blake Head
23:44 / 21.08.06
I thought kids in hoodies were terrorists.
 
 
paranoidwriter waves hello
23:44 / 21.08.06
And drugs and football and music. They screw up the kids too. Have you heard that new hiphip record, "Terrace Terrorist"? It's kicking and banging, apparently. (groan)

Oh yeah, I wrote a really bad text based interweb joke earlier, want to read it?

Great minds, eh? That's not the crap joke (still trying to find where I put it), but for now....

Keggers, that your site? Consider it bookmarked.
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:59 / 21.08.06
not my site.
 
 
paranoidwriter waves hello
00:10 / 22.08.06
Ah, sorry, Keggers. I hadn't even looked at it. Just blindly copied and pasted. Hmm...Interesting...

Oh, and I know y'all didn't ask for this, but I'm off to lurk and maybe sleep now; so here's my REALLY bad joke as a well meant parting gift for the much loved Shift:

Poster X: I heard you use YouTube?
Poster Y: Yeah, I love MyTube.
Poster X: You mean MySpace?
Poster Y: Or mine.
Poster X: *gate slams shut*
Poster Y: I was only joking...

It's right and wrong on many levels.. well, in my head, anyway.

N-night...

Apparently:

"the intention was the industrialization of the countries protecting their national industries from the competence".

Typo or genius.

Iamus ye damn fool! I miss you.

How are y'all? I am here, glass of wine in hand. Relaxing.
 
 
Blake Head
00:24 / 22.08.06
Not bad Suedey, but distracted by the evil internet when I should be working, so heading off. G'night.

Hey Suedey, how's things?

00:31 / 22.08.06
My dissertation's actually prospectively titled 'Identity Construction in Virtual Communities', and so obviously reading Barbelith constitutes legwork. Which I've done an awful lot of to produce 1,600 deeply uninspiring words thus far.

I once was a female elf named Ylinth in World of Warcraft.

Sleep!? Who am I kidding?... My body-clock's in another hemisphere, or something.

Falconator, can I read that one day? Seriously. Sounds right up my alley, and oddly resonant at the mo' (for me). Indeed, I may go back to my two 'game' related projects now, and see what they read like since I left them to stew for a little while...

Keggers, I once used the tag "Logan" in my yoof. Yeah, I know. But I have no fear of shame, and I heal remarkably quick. *Snikt!*

Might be back in a bit...

Hello all.

Care to elaborate on your approach to the diss, Falconator? I'd love to hear how you're approaching the topic.

I had a neopet once! I felt like an online parent.

I'm pretty good, enthused you might say, like some sort of crazed chimp. Ye?
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:56 / 22.08.06
Neopet? Is that a pocket-sized Keanu Reeves? Whoa.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
00:58 / 22.08.06
I wish I had a tiny Keanu. I love Keanu, you know. I really do.

Hey Suedey. Nice to hear you're happy and clappy. How's the art coming along? Anything new I can add to my screensaver? You know, to give me even more reason to leave my beast alone, and get back into my guitar practice? Also, have you had some RL warmth recently as well? Or is it just the wine you saucy, meaty devil you...

By the way, I'd have a tiny Chris Morris, or a Philip K. Dick... or a Tony Blair cyber Voodoo pet. I could crush countries.

Everyone's being weird tonight. Am I the only one not drinking?
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
01:09 / 22.08.06
Ooooh, the art's coming along alright ta. I've been quite productive and the like, although now I'm wondering if any of it has actually been good... but you know, keeping on keeping on. Just working on my comic and a few bits.

RL warmth, you say? What is this warmth you speak of? It doesn't sound like anything a cold lonely Suedey knows anything of.

Hows your good self?
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:10 / 22.08.06
Fine. Fine. Alright. I'll go get a glass of wine. But only for you Stoatie... just to put things right.

01:13 / 22.08.06
Ah, Keggers WASN'T drinking. That'll be what had me so confusled!
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
01:13 / 22.08.06
I only had one glass...
 
 
paranoidwriter waves hello
01:19 / 22.08.06
Aw, see? In the Silver Age everyone was polite and put themselves out for others. Stoat, he's gone to get you one too, I think.

RL warmth, you say? What is this warmth you speak of? It doesn't sound like anything a cold lonely Suedey knows anything of.

Yeah, sorry for the excessive sexual undertone, (ahem); I'm not showing off, honest, but I had great casual sex last night with an ex occasional sparing partner. For a change, when we got up today neither of us heard the sound of the bell and got confused, stressed, or hurt. Ze left and there was100% No Bad Vibes, which is what we'd always struggled but usually failed to achieve. So it turned out nice, really. Gave me me hope.

I spent most of the rest of my day, on and off, thinking about how best not to ban 33, and then, as if by magic, 33 said sorry online and "the hope" seemed to come full circle. Everything is in flux, I know, but still...

Everyone's being weird tonight. Am I the only one not drinking?

I know what you mean, Stoat. It's been like "this" for a few days, for me at least, anyway.
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:37 / 22.08.06
Ok, Stoat I got your glass... how do I pour it over the net?
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:31 / 22.08.06
It got reeeeeally quiet.
 
 
paranoidwriter waves hello
02:36 / 22.08.06
It's everyone's text and filters. I meant what I said to Staot just. I reckon lately it's a little confusing around here and really funny at times as well, but mighty powerful at the mo'. The text seems to be able to be read in more pliable ways than usual, non? e.g. try different emotional registers for each face.

Or is it just me?... Can't be, right?
