Brief intro here…

In my life now:
The Filth, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen II, 100%, & James Kochalka comics; Mary Poppins soundtrack; Middle Pillar ritual; tramping around the city looking for a new place to live; Kaufmann’s “Nietzsche: Philospher, Psychologist, Antichrist” and “Portable Nietzsche”; a fridge that needs cleaning.

Am happy to be all registered up!
Hello!

“’Tween pavement and stars…”

19:19 / 13.08.02

So what do you for kicks, dove?

19:27 / 13.08.02

Staring contests with Abysses, maybe?

Welcome to the Nazi snobtroll collective that is Barbelith...

19:27 / 13.08.02

Yikes.
I'm afraid that the above stuff *is* what I do for er...kicks...at the moment...
A little bit sad. Yes.
(The unclean fridge is not for kicks. I do not get pleasure from looking at the fridge and thinking about how it needs to be cleaned. No.)

Hi, grant!

19:29 / 13.08.02

Hi Ganesh.
When you gaze into the abyss... the little light at the back comes on, and that yoghurt there seems to *move*.

19:29 / 13.08.02

(psst--Dove--he's not that Grant. Don't be scared.)

19:37 / 13.08.02

If I thought he was *that* Grant I'd get v.cross with him.
*That* Grant infected me with male pattern baldness thru *The Invisibles*.
Is true! I have proof!

No, I don't have proof.
Dammit.

Hiya, Jack.

So...um...what's the weather like in Dublin right now? And should I try to find someone to take my work shift for me tonight?

20:05 / 13.08.02

Hello Johnny.

The weather's all mixed up here at the moment. Warm and bright one moment, overcast and raining the next. Most days I get all sticky and sweaty in a shirt; but a couple of days ago I had to wear a *jacket* when I went out.
"The scientists" say it's going to be like this *all the time*, now!
I blame those solar flares.

Um...why should you have to find someone to take your night shift?

Hello Dove. Are you like Dot Allison but smaller?

Tuna Ghost: Pratt knot hero

20:26 / 13.08.02

I go to work at six pm. It's now five twenty-five, and work is twenty minutes away. I'm currently sitting at the computer in my bathrobe. Getting ready will be a rush, and I'll probably be late. And since I'm hosting tonight, I won't get any tips, and I need gas money. So it's either A) find money around house with an unheard of quickness, take shower, get dressed on the way and go make money, or B) finding someone to cover my shift, and do "A" tommorow before work, which I will have to do anyway.

Fuck it, I'll just go to work. Stupid responsibilities...stupid goddam restaurant in which no one seems to notice that our pasta sucks ass, and given that it's an Italian restaurant, we could all easily be labled as "tools"...stupid bathrobe, always coming untied when I go smoke outside...

20:39 / 13.08.02

Johnny, if it's any help, I've found over the past week that singing songs from "Mary Poppins" in my head can make time go quicker when doing dull stuff.

Hiya Smile. Nope, I had to google to get the Dot Allison reference. "li'l dove" is just a play on my "real" name.
Are you a Space-Migrating-Intelligence-Increasing-Life-Extending kinda person?

20:53 / 13.08.02

hello dove, from a fellow islander. I'm from belfast

21:01 / 13.08.02

Hi Sean,
I've never been to Belfast, would you believe...
Later on in the month, though, I'm heading up there to visit my aunt. Looking forward to it. What should I go see/do when I'm there?

21:17 / 13.08.02

So we got another Irish person. If this keeps up we might have enough people to do a meet some time.

Hi Dove, hope you have fun round these parts.

Graeme McMillan

21:18 / 13.08.02

"Are you a Space-Migrating-Intelligence-Increasing-Life-Extending kinda person?"

Only on weekends.

21:26 / 13.08.02

let me see, if you want you should check out city hall or stormont castle, theres bound to be tours of the buildings and queens university too, they're amazing buildings , really old and spectacular. the queens area is where most of the clubs/cool stuff is situated. you might want to check out shine at the queens students union on a saturday night for techno/lots of beats type milarkey or if you want a quiet pint in the daytime i like the botanic Inn or witherspoons. if you're looking for 'culture' the lyric theatre is nearby and a museum i can't quite remember the name of. You might want to take a look round the shankill/falls if things are quiet there, the graffiti is interesting if nothing else. I think they do tours now of those areas? these are only a few suggestions and you might hate these places but to be honest belfast is such a small city that most of the spots i mentioned and alot more besides are within short walking distance. get to a tourist office and you'll be sorted. Grey area, care to help me out? by the way good to see another barbelite from my side of the water has joined our ranks, we are so few, hoorah!

21:35 / 13.08.02

Hello.

Hi there dove. So... you a ninja or a pirate?

21:53 / 13.08.02

Dove is clearly a Pirate. Aren't you, Dove?

uncle retrospective

22:32 / 13.08.02

Leave Dove out of your petty squabbles.

uncle retrospective

22:33 / 13.08.02

Dove is obviously Ninja.

01:09 / 14.08.02

a pirate. Without a doubt.

Just a pirate who walks very quietly, doesn't belch too loud, and is incomunicado a little more than usual.

They're just personality quirks.

Honest.

Dove obviously isn't a spy, spreding disent and low self esteem in the grand pirate rank (is it ever...) and file.

um...

yeah.
and I'm a pirate too.

01:11 / 14.08.02

and a squabbler. ~hides in shame~

03:55 / 14.08.02

I wanna hear Dove answer for his/herself.
Pirate or Ninja????

09:20 / 14.08.02

a pirate. Without a doubt.

Just a pirate who walks very quietly, doesn't belch too loud, and is incomunicado a little more than usual.

suspicious if you ask me .. sounds a bit too much like the "romantic lead" pirate who doesn't really do any pirate stuff and speaks in an American accent and is secretly working for the British Navy! And that surely calls for at least one flogging..

09:28 / 14.08.02

Hi ya Li'l Dove!

If you have absolutely no idea what they are talking about, do not fear! I somehow (possibly deliberately) managed to miss the whole prirate vs. ninjas deal.

Welcome nonetheless! I potter around mostly reading, moderating the Gathering forum on the odd occasion that it needs it and generally meeting up in real life!

Enjoy the ride!

09:28 / 14.08.02

More importantly than this whole Ninja-v-Pirate pettiness, though, dove:

what's your favourite slash pairing?

10:01 / 14.08.02

Stop wasting Dove's time with such unimportant questions!!

Dove, the first thing we need to know is your favourite Morrissey lyric ...

10:05 / 14.08.02

And what kind of shower gel do you use?

10:11 / 14.08.02

And what about the lizards?

10:11 / 14.08.02

Wot? They make 2 kinds now?

10:18 / 14.08.02

er ... that's shower gel, not lizards.

(or is it?)

10:54 / 14.08.02

Give my regards to Running Bear, Lil Dove.

And if your ficsuit is based on your real name, does that mean...

My ancient nemesis "Old Evil" - how did you find me here?!

11:09 / 14.08.02

Willkommen, Bienvenu, We-e-elcome...
Fremde, Étranger, Stra-a-anger...
Glücklich zu sehen, Je suis enchanté,
Happy to see you...
Bleibe, reste, stay...

I do not often sing a welcome song, Li'l Dove, but you are after all only a small bird, and from Eire yet. If you had a Z in your name I would now go and do a little dance too but, sadly, that is not to be.
