Another on of those weekends.....

23:01 / 20.04.02

After posting last night, I went to go continue reading and instead passed right the fuck out with my face in my book. My roommate found me on the couch and asked, "What page are you on?"

"A hundred and something."

"A hundred and what?"

"Something!"

"What something?"

This continued until this morning because I refused to tell him that I'd effectively been asleep for the last ten pages.

But I did read for five hours today, thereby somewhat refuting the "no one gets any work done after posting in this thread" theory.

Now, I go drink with a bunch of strangers. If I never come back, you know who to question.

23:11 / 20.04.02

i think it's more fun to pick random strangers to drink with, myself.

23:15 / 20.04.02

Going out drinking? Well be sure to come back and regale us with stories of your drunken exploits.

23:48 / 20.04.02

i never really noticed how dead 'lith is on weekends. there were maybe three posts in the magick forum today, about the same in comics...guess that's why this thread exists.

23:51 / 20.04.02

Yeah it really is too bad. It starts on Friday afternoons though. You get all this interest in a thread you start and then bam! No more replies.

23:55 / 20.04.02

indeed! but if i take even a few days off i return to unknown territory. i'll stick to mindlessly 'lithing on the weekends, thank you.

23:57 / 20.04.02

So will I. It seems like if I miss a single day, something important happens. I like being one of those people who is "in the know".

23:58 / 20.04.02

yeah! i worked too damn hard to be "in the know" to give it up! for what?! a life outside of the computer screen?!

00:00 / 21.04.02

I wish I had a life outside of the computer screen, but I'm too young too drink, a bit too shy to have a significant other, horrible at obtaining work, and well....its kind of boring around here. Ooooh look! Cows! Moo!

00:02 / 21.04.02

i hear that. well, some of it. come over to the east coast, we'll show ya what not having a life's all about!

00:07 / 21.04.02

I think the closest I've gotten to the east coast was Philidelphia back in '92. Lacking a social life is really depressing. If only they had places that catered to young people who can't drink. Dammit, all we've got are bars and strip clubs.

00:10 / 21.04.02

well that's basically philly too, except the really seedy strip joints are in my home state of jersey, natch!

00:12 / 21.04.02

I suppose I could go to a frat party, but I've noticed that around here they're simply excuses to get girls drunk and naked. Not exactly what I'd call fun.

00:17 / 21.04.02

ummm, do you hear the echo? i think we're the only two here. my last three posts were in response to yours...

Helllooooooo...IIIsssss therrrrre annyyyyonnne ouuuut therrrrre?

seriously, if you are here, now, post. just let us know we're not alone. please.

00:19 / 21.04.02

Everybody is probably either sleeping or out.

00:31 / 21.04.02

i think i may be one or the other soon. sorry to leave ya defending the fort by yerself. this is amazing, we are having two completely different conversations at once, using two different threads. who sez the internet breeds unproductivity?

00:34 / 21.04.02

this i sthe electronic eqivalent of johnny the zenarchist's empty city.

00:36 / 21.04.02

I'll probably be off to get some studying and research done in awhile soon, so it looks like Barbelith will soon be a "ghost town" at least for a couple hours.

00:37 / 21.04.02

true. i'm off now, i think. until the morrow...

00:41 / 21.04.02

Helloo....oooo.....oooo....

Is there anybody in there?

Zoom.

00:44 / 21.04.02

I was just sitting here on Zoom's lap, enjoying the fact that I'm not the only one who has weekends like this and thought I'd post.

Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anything to say.

Sorry guys, it's back to the echo.

Reason, son, son, son.

00:45 / 21.04.02

No! Come back! This whole studying thing is boring! So what if you can't think of anything to say, type in the first thing you think of even if its something silly like the phrase "ice cream cow cones".

00:51 / 21.04.02

no! shit, i leave the room for five minutes, come back, find out there are others (sinisterly: others, hee hee), and well, i'm back. sigh.

06:52 / 21.04.02

Ok, so we're way past this, but when I was 16 and took my first stripping job (and one of my only)- the first song I ever danced to was Bad Touch by The Bloodhound Gang. Followed was some kook shit called "My Vagina."

Like Zoom like, just nod if you can hear me? Oh, Floyd Fuckery!

My weekend ruled. Nah nah nah.

15:06 / 21.04.02

Hey you lot. Here's a couple of fairly strange things my friend Ian in Japan sent to me. Enjoy.

Zoom.

15:13 / 21.04.02

Cool. Go Panda Dog go! Get the beer(?)!

15:24 / 21.04.02

oh god...that was so cool...i don't even understand what was happening!

15:48 / 21.04.02

Apparently it's an advertising promotion for a cold tea beverage. The little Panda guy is an actual robot that's the big thing there. That one where he's spinning around on the platform, and the hands come out and clap when you press the "!!" button, what the fuck is that all about? At least the little game seemed to have a purpose. Did you guys end up falling through the floor on that one, or was it just me?

Quiet here today. Too quiet. I feel like there's someone behind me.

Zoom.

15:51 / 21.04.02

I fell through twice, then figured out that you shouldn't walk in big open areas.

The magnifying glass game was pretty weird, with little panda things all up on the big panda thing.

Shazam!

16:06 / 21.04.02

advertising works. not only do i want that tea, but i'm moving to japan. it just seems more fun there. i need pop unreality in a big way right now. japan seems right.

16:07 / 21.04.02

The wonders of Japan. You can buy porn out of vending machines there. You do know you'll stand out like a sore thumb, right?

16:10 / 21.04.02

oh, i'm not really going. i've too many commitments here. but porn out of a vending machine, you say??? i think japan is now on my when i'm rich or destitute enough to travel the world list.

16:14 / 21.04.02

Yeah, its kind of like those live bait machines I saw up in Ohio, only with porn.

16:17 / 21.04.02

live bait out of a vending machine, you say??? i think ohio is now on my when i'm rich or destitute enough to travel the country list.

16:19 / 21.04.02

Yeah, live bait. You got a choice I think. You stuck 2.00 or something into the machine and it'd give you creepy crawly things to stick on your hook.

Ohio is a strange and wonderous place.
