Remember this? Anybody?

Green Hand Guy · 05-09-2002 5:33pm #1

Okay, I realise nobody here currently remembers me so in my never ending quest for recognition I've come up with a solution to this problem. Nearly everybody in Session 1 saw me one day. I went to every classroom giving out flyers for the art exhibition (and filled in a survey form for some DCU student along the way). Somebody here HAS to remember me now.

By the way, you better all have been at that exhibition. It took me ages to find your classes and I have no idea where discrete maths went to (they really were discrete). I would have waited at the exhibition to see who turned up but my friends dragged me off to the disco (Stupid friends! I'd made plans to give a guided tour!).

purplepolkadot · 08-09-2002 10:33pm

sesh 1 this year?
if so, then what is your name. i seem to have remembered everyone's name so i probably know you.

ll=llannah · 09-09-2002 1:50pm

hey! as to where discrete maths went- us Irish writers were the only ones who knew (with the exception of pple who hung out with some of the discrete maths kids...me being one of them....but only because of a certain unit-er-i digress) ANYWAY, the reason the irish writers knew is because they disappeared into the...(drumroll) Business building! (gasps of shock and horror)
the irish writers class was isolated in the business building until the maths pple showed up. we wanted to be in the henry gratton building so badly...sniffsniff. haha.
well- that's where the discrete maths pple disappeared to, in case u Really really wanted to know.

Answer 1: I'm Conor (the commuter one who wasn't evil).

Answer 2: I couldn't find them in the business block. I remember the Irish writers class though. I was at the show that they put on with WFL earlier that day. It was cool but the accents were slightly scary. It was like they had become possessed by the ghosts of english people.

ll=llannah · 10-09-2002 7:52pm

1) Hello Conor

2) they were on the second floor in this classroom that was completely isolated and not-find-able

3) did u come into our class and tell us about the art show? (can't remember, dammit)

4) i unfortunately wasn 't there for the WFL thing and our little show (THe importance of being earnest is so hilarious. their accents were scary (mine was just as scary if not more) but i'm glad to hear it was funny) i went into town to have a tour of trinity with two other americans (Rory the RA took us)

5) why don't i number my thoughts more often? hmmm.....

Green Hand Guy · 11-09-2002 6:22pm

You probably weren't there when I cam in about the art exhibition. It was about 10 minutes after the show thing (Bread used as cake? What were they thinking?).

ll=llannah · 11-09-2002 6:59pm

hey- well i'd probably recognize you if i saw u. bread as cake? what are u talking about? *perplexed*

lordsippa · 11-09-2002 7:15pm

Hang on...

Is this connor... the socialist youth connor of psychology 01?

Cause if so... erm... hi.

<said the sven>

Green Hand Guy · 11-09-2002 9:24pm

No, that's one of the evil Conors.

And the bread as cake thing is in reference to the WFL/Irish Writers show. Before "The Importance of Being Earnest" they apologised that they had to use a piece of bread as a prop instead of cake which nobody really would have noticed anyway.

I just thought of something that might help people remember who I am. Whenever I used the vending machine I put on an Australian accent, hid behind the nearby plants and did a Crocodile Hunter style dive towards it before screaming "Aaagh!! Me Arm!!!". Also on the second last day I walked around with a can of Lilt in my hand and talked in a Jamaican accent.

ll=llannah · 11-09-2002 9:30pm

ah- well- better bread than nothing at all, i guess.

Green Hand Guy · 12-09-2002 6:13pm

Well it seems clear that nobody remembers mefrom this year. How about last year? I did WFL in Session 1 '01. I also was meant to be in some kind of Jerry Springer sketch thing involving oranges for the talent show but went bowling instead (I don't think they went ahead with the sketch anyway) and I could name all four turtles at the "table" quiz (which didn't even involve tables).

lordsippa · 12-09-2002 7:01pm

What?!

Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael?

Easy? God! Bet people forgot Splinter and Shredder and Krang and Beebop and Rocksteady and all!

<footsoldiers shmut soldiers>

purplepolkadot · 12-09-2002 8:21pm

nope, don't think i remember you. although i do remember someone jumpin around the vending machines alot. although that was in the henry grattan building. and it could have just been me...

what did you look like/ did you wear the same clothes for the entire time?

ll=llannah · 12-09-2002 11:57pm

impressive memory, Sven. I don't think my brain reaches back to the days of rushing home to watch the turtles. haha. but weren't there more than four?

Green Hand Guy · 13-09-2002 7:14pm

They added in a fifth turtle in the live action series but I forget her name because that series sucked.

Anyway, as for a description of me. Brown hair, blue eyes, about 5'9, new clothes about every two days. Also I hung around with a really small guy ,a guy who always wore the same meatloaf t-shirt and Phil from Writing for Life (I can't think of a way to describe him. He arrived a week late). And for the last week my right hand was a strange shade of green.

purplepolkadot · 14-09-2002 9:24pm

kay, nope i don't remember you. which mean i didn't meet you because i remember everybody. that other guy that arrived a week late sounds stoned though.

i did psych and wore a pink visor named the visor of wisdom alot with my hair in pigtail-plaits alot too and i was very loud and giggly and strangely happy. and i'm about 5'5 with dark brown hair. and i'm loud. you may not have seen me but you most definitely heard me.

Green Hand Guy · 16-09-2002 6:11pm

Hmmm...... Sounds vaguely familiar. You're right, I proably did hear you at some stage.

Okay, here's some more recognisable things about me: I was in the orange passing contest as an honourary member of an RA group since there weren't enough commuters left to form our own group. I also pretended to die of food poisoning in the cafetorium™ but very few people were around to see it. I conducted the "Free muffin. No strings attached" experiment outside the res and at discussion I made a speech where I basically ran america's anti-communist policy into the ground (with mixed reaction).

ll=llannah · 16-09-2002 7:00pm

AH! You are the Conor of the free muffins!!!!! Now, why didn't you say so in the first place?!

Green Hand Guy · 17-09-2002 5:28pm

I presume you aren't the one who eventually took the muffin since he was a tall guy from Clare and he didn't even eat it (I don't blame him though. I did drop it in the dirt at one stage. By accident of course).

purplepolkadot · 17-09-2002 5:35pm

i heard about the muffin man alright.
the tall guy from clare was david tierney.
see, i know my peoples. i know my peoples good.

Mystic Fibrosis · 17-09-2002 6:28pm

I walked past you, and THOUGHT about stopping, but I had just had 5 muffins, so any more and I would have severe bowel problems.

ll=llannah · 17-09-2002 9:36pm

you must've had more than five. you were really addicted. when someone said they didn't like them, you looked utterly shocked. 'twas quite funny.

Green Hand Guy · 18-09-2002 6:42pm

Well dukman, you're not going to be happy to hear this but the muffin we used was destroyed in an act of cruelty. Dave's friend threw it down the stairs and splattered it all over the place. It was a terrible day for muffins everywhere.

ll=llannah · 18-09-2002 6:55pm

*pulls black veil over face*

in the background, voice mumbles: "we are gathered here today to mourn the loss of muffin#5678,#4985, and #234987..."
<weeping in the background.>

Mystic Fibrosis · 18-09-2002 9:23pm

*screams out loud*

"YOU WILL BE AVENGED!!!!"

ll=llannah · 18-09-2002 9:33pm

*mourning muffin families look up at Garog, who is suddenly in a stream of golden sunlight, as he marches out into the world in search for the holy muffin grail and they follow, chanting his name*.......:p

Mystic Fibrosis · 18-09-2002 10:07pm

Bow down.

ll=llannah · 18-09-2002 11:39pm

the muffins?!
how can the muffins bend down?
they don't have an upper body. or a lower for that matter. or legs. which means they can't walk, or follow you . . .

*realizes that in trying to prove your insanity, i proved my own instead. dammit. well i knew i was insane before...*

why were we talking about MUFFINS again?

Green Hand Guy · 19-09-2002 5:05pm

they don't have an upper body. or a lower for that matter. or legs

We can soon fix that. To the genetic engineering ranch!

ll=llannah · 19-09-2002 5:59pm

i like yer thinking, conor!

alaskagirl · 20-09-2002 4:24am

yeah, you know, I was at both of those sessions with you and I'm sure i would recognise you, but i just cant place the name. I think my roommate and i had our own names for everyovdy ( spike, smirty flurf, shirley, "'the brain,"mr. macintosh...) . Yeah, i find it hard to believe we knew anybody's name. I think we called spike by that name to his face and he got really confused because he didnt know who we were....yeah. smirty flurf never knew about her name, i dont think. well, anyways, i just thought i would tell you that i used to dress up as a different turtle every year when i was little for halloween. i would just change my headband colour. i really liked that costume. and then i proceeded to be peter pan, robin hood, and tinker bell. I think i really liked the colour green. and i also dont think it really registered that most of these characters were male.

ll=llannah · 20-09-2002 5:38pm

hey! Clare, right?
i think i talked to you the first day- we talked to these guys who weren't in ctyi but were just hanging out....if my memory doesn't fail me...were you wearing your ID sweater? erm- jumper. black with yellow writing? i remember being totally suprised there was actually an irish dancer from the US besides me!

purplepolkadot · 20-09-2002 9:09pm

yes alaskagirl, who are you?
i thought you were jessica but then i read your name so i assume you're not from new jersey. tcha.

Green Hand Guy · 21-09-2002 9:20pm

Let's unmask her to find out who she really is. Oh my God! It's Mr.Spooky the carnival owner.

And I woulda got away with it two if it weren't for you meddling kids!

ll=llannah · 21-09-2002 10:33pm

wait- conor- i'm trying to reach back into my ctyi memory- how old are u?
i thnk i'm confuzzling myself. oh dear.

oq4v3ht0u76kf2 · 21-09-2002 10:42pm

Conor is a sex God...

And how dare you not know Clare of the Two Clares... I am shocked and apalled. I say.

ll=llannah · 21-09-2002 10:49pm

*cowers in a corner* "don't hurt me! pleeease!"

Aah! Aah! Mr Intelligent Conor has made a simple mistake! Everybody point and laugh! Point and laugh!

A shiny new penny to all those who point and laugh.

And that "Conor is a sex god" remark makes me wonder if you two ever spent some quality time behind the sheds in school.

oq4v3ht0u76kf2 · 21-09-2002 11:06pm

Yes... we went behind the sheds that are full of the nicotine addicted scumbags who also happen to be completely homophobic and engaged in ramapant homosexual lovemaking. And then they "beat the gay out of us", being gay is apparently a disease now that is cured via a good kicking.

Barry Aldwell · 21-09-2002 11:20pm

I see that the effects of mixed ability 4th year classes are getting to you. I think that homophobia should be a disease that is cured by a good kicking. But then we'd have to beat up most of our school, along with the entire catholic church.

article6 · 22-09-2002 5:02pm

I hate to point out intolerant, badly-judged remarks, but

the entire catholic church.

intolerant, badly-judged remark. To prove this, imagine a similar comment being made about the Jews. That wouldn't be acceptable to a liberal psyche at all.

Now recall that the same teachings about homosexuality are present in both.

In other news, muffins?

purplepolkadot · 22-09-2002 5:57pm

is that conor the manwhore that was in the manwhore RA group who wore a browny velvet/cord (can't remember) coat and had a t-shirt with a bush cartoon on it that he knew off-by-heart who some people called sexy conor? *exhales* god i really should punctuate things.

Green Hand Guy · 23-09-2002 5:07pm

wait- conor- i'm trying to reach back into my ctyi memory- how old are u?

I turned 16 just a week before CTYI started and because of my annoyingly close to CTYI birthday I may not be able to get back in next year.

And no, I'm not the manwhore. I'm a friend of two of the manwhore's friends but that's all.

ll=llannah · 23-09-2002 6:45pm

ah. now i get it.

Remember this? Anybody?
