make sure you go through all the doors you can find on campus. if there is one you have not been through, dub it the door of promise/ the door of the future. then go through it, rejoice and continue on your merry way. it's surprisingly fulfilling.
make sure to be a bitter oldie, muttering about the young generation and their strange, foreign, more increasingly 'normal' ways.
yeah. and stuff. that is all.

I plan on rallying a horde of shirt ninjas to storm the canteen. Should be amusing

the_only_Ali

hmm... I think I may have promised u I'd help u storm the canteen right? Ok sure why not? what else... waterfight!!! who else wants a waterfight??? I haven't had one in years!!! and eating competitions! And yes, hilary I will join u in the canteen on july 16th for the thing we have to do... I'm going to be even more abnormal than last year (if possible), stay in other ppls rooms some nights because I never did that!!!
Ooh some of my non ctyi friends might be coming to visit. Is this against the rules? And if so, does anyone care if I break them? I need to organise them a big reception coz I piss them off so much all year by my non stop praise of ctyi so i figure I owe it to them.

Jesus Christ, the intellectually elite of Ireland. How are you even able to feed yourself...

doonothing

that door thing sounds nice.
i want to stay in another persons room some night (s), cos i had the fear o' god in me last year. and slumber parties are fun. we can stay up all night, and do each others hair!! yay!!...
waterfight!! BUH RILLIANT idea, aint had one in centuries. literally.
have more fun. (this is kinda an experiment, i just want to see if its possible to have more fun than i did last year)
umm....sing songs in the quad. if anyone can play any stuff on the guitar, or maybe a guitar aint needed, we can all sit round singing jeff buckley...
"so we'll march day and night, by the big cooling tower, they have plans, but we have the power.." more singing of that is needed.
umm...a good film at the start of the thingy.
NOT something like eye-spy. ugh...
woah, im kinda going off topic into some sort of "what i want this year is..." list thingy, so im gonna stop talking.

but, yeah, gimme that stuff!

and also, that person isnt even irish. bravo

Peterfing

Yeah, I wanna sneak into other peoples' rooms this year - during the night I mean - I didn't do that last year.
And I wanna hang out in the girls rooms, didn't do that enough, far too panicky legging it down corridors to knock on doors without getting caught to spend any time chillin out down those forbidden passages.
Whats happening on July 16th Alison? What're up to?

Also.. what does everyone think of Oisin's idea to start calling Nevermores 'Ravens'? *ahem*

Raphael

The same thing i think of most of my esteemed brothers ideas

Its stupid, and he should be shot for suggesting it

gigglingrat

We could speak without using the letters 'c,t,y,i', or put an 'c' in front of every first word, t in front of every second word et cetera. Or only speak with the ctyi, or just go ctyictyictyictyi over and over like deranged Pokemon people.

That would get very very annoying very very quickly. Fun.

I like the door idea. There should be certain bricks in the path you can't stand on and if you do you are forced to do the 'i just stood on a brick that i wasn't supposed to' dance, which can be choreographed at a later date.

Oh, and we should play the 'how many boxes of soap can i get into the washing machine' game, followed by a foam fight.

Will there be forgien students across like last year? We should annoy them more.

This is gonna be a good summer!

mentalimplosion

PLASTIC CUP TELEPHONES AND PARTIES IN AISLING-ELAINE'S ROOM ALL THE WAY!

Ooooohhhh count me in!!!

J Campion

Oh god, I'm getting so nostalgic im startin 2 feel sick

Me 2! I luv fire drills; i dint even run out d emergency exit last year!!! Damn them 4 tellinh us it was goin 2 be a drill. Wudnt it b kool 2 ring d fire brigade if day dint tel us it was a drill; hee hee hee. (BTW im not advocatin prankin d emergency services)

waterfight!!! who else wants a waterfight???

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! I luv waterfites with eggs, an flour. Last year i was brinin a water gun 2 d disco an d stupid "made in china" piece o crap leaked all ovr d place!!! I had 2 walk bak 2 my room with a rather wet... wel im sure u get the jist...

the_only_Ali

Emm... July 16th is... something I can't say here coz its a surprise. I'll explain later. And you stole my idea about hanging out in the rooms of people of the opposite sex! Oh well, it has to be done more. As a scientific experiment. It is our duty to mankind, you might even say.
Anyway.
And yeah, plastic cup phones! Or pulley systems! Me and Holly had an interesting little plastic cup apparatus that we used to send notes and very stale crisps up to Aoife and Stephanie who lived above us with.

Ooh I got this gun thingy that shoots all these bubbles and makes crazy beeping noises. I can use it in the waterfight. Not that it'd be an effective weapon but it looks kind of cool. If you're six that is.

what does everyone think of Oisin's idea to start calling Nevermores 'Ravens'?

its... interesting, but I think nevermores will never be replaced

gigglingrat

No one told me that it was a fire drill last year! I was sleep!
I've an idea, how bout we start a tradition of lending me money that I never have to pay back?

I'll buy you a lollipop, I swear!

Awayindahils

edgar allen poe

the raven keeps saying nevermore thats the explanation apperently

Raphael

I always thought it was "Quoth the server 404".....

Zounds

Changing a decade old transatlantic tradation? great idea, up there with inflatable dartboards in my opinion

doonothing

oh...my...god...
my overwhelming sense of "AGH!!! CTYI!!!" had lay dormant for a long long time....
UNTIL TODAY!!
OH MY GOD IM SOOOO EXCITED!!!
i cant breathe...
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!

im REALLY gonna make the most of it this year!!!
my enthusiasm is reaching epic proportions, you're all gonna want to KILL me by the end of it!!!

(oh god, the end of it....lets not think about THAT for a while...)

all together now... C-T-Y-I!!!!

agh!!!

gigglingrat

Aghh! Marc! Don't mention the end, it hasn't even STARTED yet!!!
Now all I can think of is the bitter anti-climax which awaits me at the end of July.
Thanks Sparky, thanks a lot.:(

Oh, and more playing of Lying Cun...Lier is needed!

definately. that game was the best. you bring the cards, i'll bring the, eh, lying equipment

Peterfing

Woo! I was the first person last year to play that, I suggested it...

I just thought I'd point that out

gigglingrat

They were my cards! Throw some credit my way!

J Campion

What d hell is dis game??? Sum1 enlighten me!!! PLEASE!!!

mr. scanger

The game was Cheat/Bullsh1t, ya know the one where ya have to put down a card one up or down from the last one put down and if ya don't have it ya have to lie (or cheat)

gigglingrat

Only to make it more fun you scream obscenities constantly, and if you think someone *may* be cheating (like there are really any rules) you send a couple extra their way.

Twas killed, however, by lack of creativity and constant playing. We must revive it!

Lightning strike
I give you LIFE!!! Mwahahahahaha.....


hem

doonothing

ah lying c*nt....i taught my family how to play it on holidays, i got WHIPPED, my sister acts like she hasnt got a clue how to play, then BAM, kicks our arses...
FOODFIGHT!! in the caf, twould be fun...
i remember someone put their stereo out their window onto the quad, whoever gets a quad-side room must do that...
umm....
sing songs!! sitting in some random field singing lover' you should've come over...
or HEYDAY!
so, yeah, waterfights deffo.
they is fun.
so, not long now....:)
i is excited...
i tend to ramble dont i?
yet you're still reading....
YOU THROBBING FOOL!!
yeah, so fun, thats the staple ingredient, we're gonna have plenty more this year.
does it seem to anyone else that EVERYONE was a nevermore (not "raven"...*shudder*) last year? it feels like no one's coming back...
ooh, i know, a load of crazy "rituals" that we do to confoose the newbies into thinking they're stylish ctyi trends....
MWAHAHA!!
im still talking....
STOP HAND, NOW

gigglingrat

Ok, deep breaths! Phew!:D
Yeah, music is always fun. Esp in the background, cos then its like your life has a soundtrack.
Foodfights, grassfights, waterfights allfights sound fun! (except fist fights. I have suprisingly little upper body strength.)

Peterfing

Woo! Life soundtrack! I tried that last year. We should all pretend we're in a musical like that episode of Buffy...

People get annoyed when you keep imitating canned laughter however...

doonothing

life soundtracks rock!
i love that when you buy a new shiny cd, and then go all out and buy a book too, and then whenever you is read the book you listen to the new cd....and whenever you read the book afterwards, you hear the cd in your head...
the soundtrack for ctyi last year for me was "setlist".
twas a PERFECT soundtrack...
t'will be hard to top this year...
that kinda sums up my fear for this year...
HOW CAN IT TOP LAST YEAR??
*sigh*
we'll all just have to make a big ginormous effort to make it better...
is session two *really* that different to session one?
i dont want it to be... i like my session one....

STEWPID HAND, STOP

I found during my S2s that it featured more rational people. Plenty of nutters too, but all in all it was less arty people, more rational people. Of course, I am making sweeping generalisations here, and am also basing this on a theory put forward to me by that Green Hand Guy fellow, which I am currently too lazy to attempt articulating fully, but which basically said that most courses in S1 are art-type courses, and most in S2 are science-type courses. If you want to shout at anyone over this, shout at Green hand Guy.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! There we go, I've shouted, LOUDLY. My therapist says it's good to get my anger out in non-violent ways, maybe i HAVE been killing too many people lately.............................. mmmmmmmmmmmm

You guys aw cwazy.

Peterfing

Somebody finally said it

gigglingrat

Come on now, we were all thinking it.

It wasn't me!

I thought my pirates thread kinda deserved it. Or at the very least it should have been ignored. And I didn't deserve to be banned. On a side note, how many times have you been banned Aonghus. You make it sound like quite a few. I say we have a competition....

Raphael

once for a week, for constant barry flaming. but neil almost never bans people

J Campion

Is Raphael's picture thingy supposed to be a teenage mutant ninja turtle or what? I think it looks kinda like a robot or sumtin. If it is the first (i forget teh oppostie of latter) I presume his name thingy refers to one of them? Is it?

Crash

I think rapheal was banned 3 times in total. or 2 and threatened copiously for the third.



J Campion - SHUTTHEFUCKUP

gigglingrat

It does look like a turtle. I'd say thats what it is. I wouldn't bet on it tho...

Raphael

I only remember 1 time, and a whole lot of threatening(sp?)

It wasn't me!

Actually that's spelt right. According to you, we're level. According to the one who banned you, I have to get one or two more to draw level. *Goes off to think of banworthy topics*

Barry Aldwell

A thorough search has shown that Jaffer/Raphael/Aonghus has been banned once, threatened with a ban twice, and slagged rather ferociously countless times, culminating in this post. That thread in general is pretty much a good old Aonghus slagging, actually

Raphael

Only twice? it seemed like so much more

*goes and reads the thread barry linked to*

Good Lord. I was really asking for it, wasnt I?

Zounds

He also once got me severly threatened with banning
