Bursting, fruiting lateshift!

Am I...

Am I infected....

Am I infected with internet bees?

"Infected" is a bit strong, as words go. "Loved" seems better. "Housing." "Bonded with?"

20:16 / 15.09.07

If you're looking for a boost, you're beautiful when you're angry.

20:30 / 15.09.07

Oh, it seems like someone is jumping from the Barbelship.
Goodbye them.

20:34 / 15.09.07

Would it be cruel to bump other threads so that the drama dissapeared?

20:37 / 15.09.07

I often feel the need to do that when oddly cyclical angerfests sprout, so no. Bump away. Bump those thread-rumps.

20:58 / 15.09.07

Holy shit!
I just worked out how to get flash working on my computer.
The entire world of online pornography just opened for me!

Mysterious Transfer Student

21:05 / 15.09.07

The scripts!
I'd forgoten how awfully stilted the dialogue in pornography is.

Hooray!

21:13 / 15.09.07

"The plot is ludicrous!"

22:46 / 15.09.07

I can't see that picture, Jagger.

Also, even giving and receiving unconditional love is nothing compared to the joy I'm feeling from watching a goodbye thread get zero replies. I AM A HORRIBLE PERSON.

22:51 / 15.09.07

I don't entirely understand the point of the Goodbye threads...if I'm not feeling up to interacting with the Lith, I refrain from posting for a while.

22:58 / 15.09.07

I don't think I'd be able to post a spectacular "goodbye" without at least coming back the next day to see if anyone had missed me, which would kind of defeat the object...

Hi, Lateshift! (...did you miss me?)

22:59 / 15.09.07

...and who's jumping? Did I miss something?

23:00 / 15.09.07

But..

But?

How do you make an entrance if you haven't made an exit?

23:00 / 15.09.07

Oh, I see. Sorry. Not been up to speed in Convo today- the Policy's been kickin' again the last couple of days, which makes me happy.

23:01 / 15.09.07

AND NO WE DIDN'T MISS YOU!

23:01 / 15.09.07

How do you make an entrance if you haven't made an exit?

Depends entirely on whether your explosives are stashed inside or outside the building.

23:02 / 15.09.07

You didn't post a goodbye thread!

23:02 / 15.09.07

AND NO WE DIDN'T MISS YOU!

GOOD.

Erm.

No.

BAD.

Erm...

can someone teach me how to flounce, please? I appear to be shit at it.

This Sunday

23:03 / 15.09.07

I'd get too self-conscious to do an 'I'm going... back at the chime of X' and if it was supposed to be forever, well, what if I really wanted to post later?

But I don't feel I'm being horribly missed when I don't post for a handful of days, either. It's not like it's a contract gig.

23:04 / 15.09.07

You didn't post a goodbye thread!

STRONG TRUTH. A MAN MAY HAVE NO NEED OF A GOODBYE THREAD IF A MAN LEAVES NOT, BUT MERELY TARRIES AWHILE WITH HIS MAGICAL BOX OF 360 "X"ES..

23:05 / 15.09.07

I admit I liked the "Leaving briefly, coming back" thread when it was kicking for a while and everybody was posting when they went to the bathroom or the pub or whatever.

Policy has been busy. Which is exciting, because it's not all bitter flamewars and banhammer threads.

This Sunday

23:06 / 15.09.07

I missed ya, Stoatie, even if I thought you'd never left. But, you can't fold ruffly? Can't lie on clothes in an interesting mess or gird hips well?

Mysterious Transfer Student

23:15 / 15.09.07

I just don't DO folding, dear.

Well, except Origami. But I'm shit at that.

Although someone did find me a .pdf of how to make an origami mudkip, which I reckon needs to be tried at some point.

23:18 / 15.09.07

I can't see that picture, Jagger.

It's Maud Lebowski critiquing pr0n... probably my favourite line from a truly great film. It seemed apropos, yet I've been punished by the internet gods for stealing bandwidth.

01:22 / 16.09.07

OMF, and indeed G, there's an actual discussion about the evils of Libertarianism on...

...fucking 4CHAN!!!

Jesus.

This Sunday

02:02 / 16.09.07

Libertarianism
fucking
4CHAN
Jesus

I've unknowingly been waiting all my life for those words to appear together in one post.

02:28 / 16.09.07

YOWZA.

02:31 / 16.09.07

Incidentally, the world hadn't gone all wrong, really. It was just a minor glitch. Scant minutes after posting that, the "actually sensible" 4Chan thread had become the usual homophobic, racist, misogynistic bullshit.

Seriously, I only go there for the LOLcats and the comedy macros. That's where they ALL come from. I have to go to the source.

WHAT?

WHAT???

Why are you looking at me like that?

I do, really.

19:19 / 16.09.07

As long as you don't touch yourself down there while you look at it, Stoat.

Feverfew

19:27 / 16.09.07

This essay will not kill me.

Incidentally, hello.

19:36 / 16.09.07

My article, it nears completion.
Come, Feverfew, join me in the circle of smug near completedness.

It's so nice up here, away from the terrifying face of essays that refuse to submit. But I suppose you just have to be *that kind of person* to get here.

You know, a better kind of person.

19:37 / 16.09.07

I'm at home! And it's raining out, I have music, and hours to fill with writing! That's my project today. I'm even at my writing table.
