[Scandanavian War Machine]

something i've been wondering lately:

where did the whole 4:20 thing come from? how did that time become synonomous with smoking weed?

[ackblom12]

[ViolentDove]

Oh man, I just got a H.P. Lovecraft collection I hadn't read before as well, and read most of it last night.

Tentacle high-five!

o~

I don't see the point in smoking cigs.

Let me rephrase that. I can see why you keep smoking them once you have been smoking them. But why even start? I know it gives you a buzz the first times you do it, but what makes a person want to smoke a cigarette? Weed I can see.

It is awesome. It feels great! What you want me to explain it? I can't! I can't explain why I like listening to music apart from "It sounds awesome!" It is a thing some people do! Really, I'm not explaining this well, but smoking is fantastic.

PS I am totally aware smoking damages your health. I am ok with that.

Jens just won the internet, holy shit.

[nobo]

dear blog thread,

i get to see my girlfriend in 4 weeks for the first time since september. we're going to be hanging out in chicago hitting up all our favorite restaurants and shopping for her engagement ring!

by shopping for her engagement ring i mean we'll be going to stores to figure out exactly what it is she wants. right now she has a very particular thing in mind, but now she wants to check out other options to make sure there aren't any other styles that she likes more. i know its supposed to be a surprise, but if i'm dropping a few thousand on a ring i'd want it to be just right. now to think of a good proposal that doesn't involve me jumping out of a cake.

[Emaline]

Yeah, I am pretty sure Jens is made of win.

[Alex C]

Man, I'll acknowledge that ascii as winning the internet the very second it stops looking like a half-assed michelin man.

[Liz]

Oh you are not asleep. Pfft.

Dear Blog Thread,

My weekend of fun starts now! Tomorrow I will bake more cookies. Friday I am doing Dance Marathon. Saturday is Norwegian Baking Day at my cousin's house. Sunday is my choir concert, and the madrigal dinners.

Wheee

Love,
Liz

[Emaline]

It was the attempt itself that made me a happy camper.

[Jace]

The porn will be there tomorrow. Get some rest my Norwegian brother.

[Liz]

Suuuuure you were. We all totally believe you. Completely. No doubt.

[Cernunnos]

Considering the nature of the internet, he may have been doing both.

[Ozymandias]

Also Ozy, that's right! Completely forgot about that. Mostly what I remember about that movie is that the samurai who switched places with them were really into hockey, for some reason...?

Because Casey Jones was the dude who had to take care of them while they were stuck in present-day NYC.

I haven't watched this movie in at least a decade why do I remember this?

[Boro_Bandito]

I thought Casey Jones was a great conductor.

[Blue Kitty]

Good god I need to watch that movie again.  I'm pretty sure my dad still has a VHS copy.

I don't know why it is but I have been wondering recently why most of the playgrounds around my house have replaced their sandboxs with wood chips.  Are wood chips safer some how?  All I can tell is that it discourages going barefoot.

[Dimmukane]

Some of the ones near me have replaced the woodchips with ground Nike.  Probably something about kids getting scrapes/rashes or things in their eyes.  I think wood chips just provide a more even footing and are less prone to cause non-foot related injuries.

Watch your speed there, pal.

I has sand and you don't.. *insert butt wiggles and taunting, accompanied with some raspberries*

Edited to stay on topic and quote fix.

Dear Thread.

I met me a man, of off the World of Warcraft, and it's awesome.
I accept the fact that I'm a nerd. We're a state apart, and I'm moving there in January.
I'm pretty stoked.

[RedLion]

You be careful there.

Anyway I had woodchips in my elementary school playground like 8 years ago. Not a new phenomenon.

[tania]

me and my housemate just split an entire 3 lb pizza and full carton of ice cream

oh my goddddddd what the fuck is wrong with me

(final exams and absolutely no self control are what is wrong with me)

[PizzaSHARK]

Man you know what's great about insomnia?

Yeah neither do I. : \

3 weeks almost straight, man, 3 weeks.

I'm just about there.  Got sick just under two weeks ago for the first time in about eight years and whatever it is just won't fucking die.  Averaging an erratic 2-4 hours per 24.  Oddly enough, this is about the same amount as I was getting after surgery earlier in the year, but I don't seem to be able to pass out from accumulated fatigue like I did back then.  Working overnight doesn't help.  Seems the body wants to sleep when it's dark and be awake when it's light and the last six months of routine be damned.

I just got chinese food home delivered! This is a new level of laziness for me. So AMAZING, though. A little Asian lady brings it to your door in a basket!

[Ozymandias]

Truly, you live in a magical future world.

[Gemmwah]

I just bought myself an Xbox 360.

Merry Christmas to me.

Fuck you, Dad.

Dear blog thread,

My mom wants me to live with her another year.

HAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK THAT

Love,
Me!

We are totally doing this again after I get paid.

[tania]

so i pulled an all-nighter, mostly, studying for this silly final exam and decided somewhere between 4 and 5 am i'd take a quick nap then resume reviewing, and this very curious thing happened where sometime during that 60 minutes my left eye went all completely swollen and bloodshot and red and now i can barely see out of it and am kind of squinting out of it at the computer screen and it's itchy and weeping and also i cannot get out of this exam because it is in like 3 hours. i have been kind of sck all week but this is really completely of the blue.

i don't have any kind of camera but trust me, it's really messed up and not at all cool. what the fuck? what the fuck just happened? what is wrong with my eye? do i have pinkeye? oh my goodness i do not even have the time to be thinking about this WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

[jhocking]

God is punishing you for your sins.

[tania]

man i thought god knew i was only joking about being gay

Syringes probably can't hide as easily in woodchips as they can in sand.

I have had the last two days off and I don't even work til about 4pm tomorrow, so I am in a pretty good mood. I am not sure how long this will last given I am working full shifts both Saturday and Sunday though! At least I am seeing my girlfriend on Saturday night, and her dog will finally return from her two week vacation up the coast (she just recently moved into a new place. Will be joining here there in Jan).

Funny story: Here in America, Chinese food delivery is a pretty routine and unimpressive thing that I suppose we take for granted.

Truly, this is the land of opportunity.

[valley_parade]

Yeah, but in a basket?

[Jace]

Guys, I had the interview yesterday for the Drill Team job downtown at the Sheraton. I think it went really well and they said they'd call me by the end of the week. I'm super excited to start a new job where I get 40 hours and get to work with my friend Chris again.

YEAH!

EDIT: blog thread, turned in my two weeks just one minute ago. Feels good, man. Feels good.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

Yeah, but in a basket?

i get mine delivered in a rickshaw.

speaking of which, does anybody want a couple rickshaws? i have like thirty of them in my yard.

[valley_parade]

You could teach the homeless to bring people around town in them.

Not so practical in the Seinfeld universe, but maybe more so in this one.

[pen]

hi blog thread! 

i've switched buildings in my current job, and hooray! i can access the forums (for now).  I'm waiting for them to catch on and take it away again, but i'm gonna stalk you all again, in the meantime.  woo!

Ok so getting Chinese food (or any kind of food, really) is not that uncommon in Australia. In fact I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say that most restaraunts around here deliver (obviously cafe's and super fancy places don't but you know what I mean), it's just that Lunchy and I live in a pretty out-of-the-way suburb that has very few businesses close by and honestly, the fact that she has found a Chinese place that delivers and is good in this area is staggering. I was under the impression that the only food vendor we had was the woodfired pizza place on the otherside of the highway.

Dear blog,

I am recently unemployed again, and thus find myself with plenty of time to troll the forums once again. I am hoping my interviews with Yale go well, and I can once again be overpaid for easy work. In other news, I snagged myself a girlfriend who has baking and board game dates with me. I just brought her crackers, a get well card and 7-up at work because shes sick. I am a cheeseball. So, hurray upswing.

[jmrz]

Bloggy blog bloggity blog,

I uhm have some kind real life now. It's good. I guess.

I finished uni a couple of weeks ago (for the year) and I think I did pretty well! I never completed first semester, because I sucked at computer science and dropped all my classes before exams. I swapped over to graphic design for second semester and it is awesome! I have handcoded some websites and designed some cool things so far. I got to write a kickass essay on whatever topic I want - I chose video game design! It was fun. I am still waiting for my final marks to come out, but they should be good enough for me to swap degrees for reals.

My mum's secretary resigned, and my awesome job I had lined up with Dell fell through (the boy also had the same awesome job lined up, and he lost it as well because Dell decided not to go ahead), so no we job share at my mum's work and it is pretty awesome. Paying off debt and having more than $20 a week to live off is pretty damn awesome. Also having my boy living with me like, 5 days a week is very nice. We live together well and have not killed each other yet.

I don't go back to uni until March, so I have lots of time off to sit around, play WoW, get better (oh god I hate not knowing what is wrong with me for sure), and work.

Life is good.

[AanAllein]

I want to travel by rickshaw

Dear Bløg Thread,

I keep getting a white precipitate when I try to run S1 nuclease digestions. It's really giving me the shits. What the fuck, enzymes?

Love,

Nick.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

It's really giving me the shits.

this must not mean the same thing everywhere. 

[AanAllein]

It's really giving me the shits.

this must not mean the same thing everywhere. 

I use it in the same way ViolentDove would - what does it mean to you? [/curious]

[ViolentDove]

I guess I could see how in countries other than Australia it could be taken to mean diarrhea?

Here it basically means that something is annoying you.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

yeah, diarrhea basically.

i.e. "all that cheap beer last night gave me the shits." etc.

[De_El]

thread,

I'm fucked! Too many assignments to do, not enough time.  Some of them are already late.  First thing I should do when all this end-of-semester business is over is to seek help with my inability to get anything done. Also: the other issues I have that have been getting in the way of my work. I have all kinds of problems that I've never told anyone about! wahh wahh I am a tortured soul. Well anyway, trying to ignore them hasn't done me any good thus far.

[negative creep]

Dear you,

tonight I did what I've been waiting to do for over 10 years. I dyed my hair the most awful green I could find. If I was still in 6th grade I would go to school tomorrow feeling I'm the coolest guy in the entire school. Alas, I am not, so I'm just going to a Monster Magnet show tomorrow, but that has to count for something, right?

love,

me

[KvP]

You had better get stoned, me.

[Emaline]

["my eyyyyyyyeee!!"*]

Sounds like possibly a really bad eye infection, not necessarily pink eye.  once had a terrible sinus infection that spread to my eye, and I had to get crazy antibiotics to clear it up.

But it could be pink eye too. Go see a doctor!


*This is pretty much an exact quote from my ceramics teacher.




Dear Blog Thread,

So, my job mad me not so angrys with it today. While sitting in the back munching a sandwich on break, our promotions guy popped his head in the room and said "Oh by the way, Emaline, you are on the guest list for the Faint. It's you plus one." So yay! I get to go see the Faint! For free! I am pumped!

Except, I don't have a way all the way to St. Louis, and so far none of my friends want to go. I asked the dude mentioned in my previous post, who I have made up with, if he wanted to go, and he said maybe. My best friend can't go because he has to go to a primer of a movie of a girl he likes(which, on one hand makes me a mopey bastard, because I am being selfish, but on the other hand I am completely ok with, because she asked him first, and dude should totally interact with ladies he likes). I am highly considering posting on craigslist about my dilemma. I mean,posting and telling the tale, and seeing if any random strangers wanted to hang out for a free show. Do you think I should, or is this completely ridiculous?
