Yeah, polls are bad like that.

Posted by

yeah; I was intending you to put it all in one entry, but they don't make the boxes big enough. darn it.

Posted by

well the maximum text box size is 255 characters. sorry :( I should've put more in!

Also: Jacqueline, Iain. Iain, Jacqueline.

oh, and Iain, apparently several chicks at the Calling thought you were hot :)

haha, awesome! there sure were some pretty girls there. :-) gonna be repeated next term, methinks.

Loved your response. Can't say I entirely agree, as I've got a pretty good life, but it still made me smile.

(Sorry for the deletes, H! Stupid perfectionism and lj being temperamental...)

Posted by

oh man. lj deleting and subsequent rearrangement of comments *way* too complicated for currently under-influence-of-alcychol mind! but yay! life kicks ass! like loads! have a good night!

Posted by

Hahaha!

Well, I was hoping I'd deleted in time before anyone replied. Basically, the first delete was because it didn't parse the "lj user=" bit and left the nasty tag in the title. Then when I tried to redo it, I got errors, then the next time I successfully did it, it had remembered what I typed in the body but not the subject, so it made no sense. So I posted *another* time. Sigh.

And I haven't had any alcohol. Perhaps that is the issue.

you reckoned without my ninja reactions*! but it's ok, cos your icons are totally awesome! as is your username. i have been trying to pronounce it for some considerable minutes now. (iss-kee-esk?)

*erm yeah cos all ninjas hang around on the internet at 2330 at night. yup. :-)

woo! :-)

(ahem) and... er... what does it mean? *does best not-linguistically-gifted-cos-i'm-a-science-student look* :-)

I frequently covet

isquiesque's icons. And the username is easier once you twig that it's an adjective ... took me a while.

Iain, have you seen an anime called Spirited Away? Because if not you need to right now.

Posted by

no! and now i don't have high-speed DC to reap the joys of anime! from ahem legal sources yup. managed to get Akira and Ghost in the Shell before i left though, score.

i'll try and get hold of Spirited Away though. plymouth ain't good for much, but it sure has a lot of anime. :-)

You need alcohol FAST, chica.

Although not homemade elderberry liqueur that's so soporific it appears to contain horse tranquillisers. I really should stay away from that stuff. *passes out*

Posted by

Also, hrm. I know most of your stuff lately is friends-locked... could I have libellum vouch for my worthiness and add you as a friend?

And I'll stop spamming your journal with comments now, H....

Posted by

by all means! and then you'll be free to read all two entries i've written since last June! :-) i'm more of an occasional pop-my-head-up-and-say-hi LJ person.

(hi!) :-D

Posted by

you should write more LJ. *nod*

Posted by

no problem! although slightly odd to be called "H" by someone else :) for years its been the sole prerogative of

verte and

z_e_r_o...

Posted by

i put three in! but only one worked. my other two were:

Dragging our fishey asses out of the sea. Dolphins have way more fun, and don't ruin the planet either!

Failing that, any decision where some dude considered him/herself before other people.

Rats, looks like you beat me to it on the HHGTG front :(

HH... what...? all my tired brain can come up with is Heigh-Ho, Got To Go. :-)

tsk, call yourself a geek? *g*

isn't the humans-out-of-the-sea theme Dirk Gentley, not HHGTTG?

Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.

HHGTG, right in the prologue.

I would list up there the mass conversions made by Christian churches that destroyed countless civilizations, and basically any instance of ethnic cleansing/genocide.

My ass isn't fishy. Growl.

but erm, yes, seconded. Although I can think of exceptions to the latter, in that sometimes it's necessary...

Also, "Y'know what? Let's get rid of our foppish court society in which sending a courtesan a dreadfully witty poem is considered the peak of manliness, and replace it with a psychotic martial ethos under which it's considered the peak of manliness to violently kill a friend for the unspeakable dishonour of giving you advice on which move to play in a chess game, and then die from the wounds inflicted in the fight! With any luck, the cultural backwash from this will eventually get us repeatedly nuked!"

Also, "That crackpot's corrupting our wonderful society. Let's kill him so that his otherwise unremarkable wafflings can be enshrined in a gigantic martyr-myth by his acolytes! ...um, when did you say the embassy was getting back from Delos again?"

was that last clause inserted entirely so that people wouldn't think you meant Jesus?

Posted by

It was intended so that people would think I did mean Jesus, and then go 'oh, right'. I was making a funny. Though hardly an original comparison.
