    If I was out and had an erection I'd be ****ed :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    Nah I always have loads of tea at home. Variety is so important!

    I can't say I drink tea for the caffeine tbh. I sometimes use peppermint tea as my everyday tea. I normally use coffee for caffeine.

    I never thought you'd eat at this time of the day!
    Oops...what was meant to be food and a short nap turned into food and a 4 hour nap :p Totally didnt mean that:eek:

    Either way, you like variety in things! Never had peppermint tea before, I bet it's nice.

    Oh I would eat at any time of the day, prefer to eat when hungry than at set times ^_^

    She's good with guesstimates...and showed me exactly where it happened, both her foot position and the strike point :)

    I just had the weird realisation that I know your mum's voice, but I don't actually know her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    What made you realise that?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭anothernight


    I don't know. I had a random memory of her voice when I read your post mentioning her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    Well you have heard her voice once, possibly twice so I should safely assume that's why the memory came back! Sure you may meet her someday too, in the same way I may meet yours ^_^

    How are you tonight? hopefully relaxed and doing whatever feels good!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭anothernight


    I'm in a really great, very happy mood. ^_^

    I've had a few naps but I'm not tired at all! In fact I'm very hyper (no caffeine in my system).

    My current activity is: trying to think of what art supplies I want, as my amazing boyfriend apparently tried to buy some art stuff for me without asking, before realising that he really needs me to pick what I want. I don't know how many presents I'm getting from him anymore.. He's only getting a book (which I got for free! Though it's a very cool book :p) so I should probably be hitting the shops again :o (and steal money from my mum's purse, maybe haha)


    How's Darrykins?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    I have lots of energy too (not from caffeine either) because of my extended nap but no outlet, and I'm not going outside at this time so watching a movie on the laptop :) Feeling happy though, so no complaints from me.

    That's really cool of him to get you more stuff ya know, and you really dont know how much he has got you for xmas so that'll be a nice surprise when you find out. If you have plans to hit town tomorrow, give me a shout as cabin fever is killing me and I need to get out for a while lol.

    It sounds like he'll really enjoy it though, and I'm sure he won't say no to any more presents ^_^


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭anothernight


    Movie sounds like such a good idea!

    He's the best to pick out gifts. Seriously, the best. So at least I know that they'll all be very well thought out things. I know a few of the things anyway because we've talked about them before.

    But... he's the worst person ever when it comes to giving him something! It's unbelievably hard to come up with something that he will like and that he hasn't got already. It's basically a matter of coming up with something that he's never realised he wanted. And that is incredibly hard.



    I'm so happy!!! ^__^



    I'm not going out today, sorry. It's Christmas Eve in a few hours after all, and it's only my mum, my sister and myself so it wouldn't be a good idea to go out and run the risk of getting stranded in town. Are the shops even open?

    Cabin fever is annoying alright. The snow is mad thick outside, from what I can see. It's apparently -9ºC atm.

    Aye I felt like watching something nerdy, with lasers and robots...so a Star Wars film :p

    Like I said before, you're both lucky to have each other ^_^ Having someone so thoughtful must be a really good feeling! It seems I know two of his gifts then, if art supplies are one, thoughtful and completely different to the other:pac: You'll find something else I'm sure he'll love...just think that little bit more outside the box.

    Yeah the shops are open until around 4, buses should run until around 7-8 but sure, we should meet sometime over the holidays eh!

    Oh yeah the weather gadget on my desktop says it's -9 out too...fairly chilly but not snowing anymore!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭anothernight


    Old or new? Hayden Christensen looked pretty hot at the time, I must say. Other than that, I have absolutely no memory of any of the Star Wars movies, which, tbh, doesn't surprise me at all (my memory is very bad when it comes to films. I only ever remember specific scenes from most things I've seen).

    You know two of the gifts? What? I'm confused!


    I was gonna say that getting to the shops before 4pm meant waking up early, until I noticed the time. I can't believe it's 6am already. We should definitely meet up! The only thing is that my sister is going to Spain the day after Christmas so I'd be slightly concerned about leaving my mum all by herself for too long (even if she is the most independent woman I know!). She says it's not a problem but meh...


    Can't wait to have 2 kids and 20 cats (and a rabbit!) so that I can put up a maaaassive Christmas tree. I generally don't like Christmas but my house is so depressing at this time of the year. I guess I should've put up some decorations myself.


    And omg 1444! That's SUCH a cool number!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    Oh the newest one, so the last one where he is oldest and probably best looking (if I was attracted to men I would probably agree with you anyway). Don't worry about being confused, it can happen ^_^

    Yeah it's very early/late and I'll probably be up until 9/9:30 myself. Didnt realise the time either, but that's been the case the last few nights and have you realised that in the last two days we've spent more time chatting on boards than we have in AAAAGES!!?

    You've said that about your mam the last two nights, I fully believe it at this stage! She'll be alright but sure it's only nature to look out for your loved ones. And you've loads of time to put up some stuff yourself...do it later:D

    You wont be a crazy cat lady anyway, because you'll have children to throw at people before them, and a rabbit:pac: Oh why 1,444?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭anothernight


    Seriously, I'm confused. What's the other gift that you know of that I apparently don't? >_<

    That's not true, unless you mean only boards. We do text! The holidays, the way my facebook chat is permanently off because I can't stand it, and the way I haven't opened Adium in about a million years (well, around a week) are probably contributing factors towards boards spamming.

    I forget what I've already said! She seems to be a little weaker lately, and I'm starting to worry a lot about it :( It's stupid because she's a strong woman and all, and she's not even old or anything, but meh. I worry about my family a lot.

    I can't put up decorations. We don't even own any afaik. Haven't celebrated Christmas in so many years.


    I'm not gonna be throwing cats at people!!! Or children! You sick, sick man! :mad: I need to give a rabbit the best rabbit life possible, to redeem myself for lovingly hugging/asphyxiating a rabbit when I was 3 :( Also they're cute as hell.

    1444 posts. It just looks like a cool number. 1445 isn't half as cool. But 1606 is better.


    :):):) (to counteract the sad and angry faces, ofc)


    I still have lemon curd! And caramel and other stuff and shortbread ^_^ Happy happy happy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    But you do know it, you told me...and I can't post about it in here...now stop being confused :p

    Yeah I meant only boards, since college started this is the longest time we've spammed this place with chat hehe...and I dunno what Adium is, so can't comment on that.

    You did say though, she's strong and well yeah...I do worry about my family at times too, sure I can't help it and neither can you!

    For some reason my family loooooove it, always putting up loads of decorations and stuff, I dont normally celebrate it but I like how it can bring families together:)

    Oh I only meant that in a jokey type manner, you would have too much love for them to throw them anywhere ^_^ Sucks to hear that's the reason you want a rabbit:(

    I had 7,777 earlier today lol, that seems cool! Aaaaaand you've got yummy food still, much nicer than my toast I just had so have some for me while you're at it:D

    Random:D:D smile:Dy fa:D:Dces :D

    I'm gonna sleep soon, yawning here and feeling cold/lonely (only reason I'm still awake is to chat to you) so maybe I'll sleep and talk again later, before xmas hits us :)

    Good night/morning to you, have a great day and we'll chat again soon!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭anothernight


    But you were staying up till 9!

    And.. I'm still confused....... You're gonna have to text it. I actually didn't know I was getting something that couldn't be publicly said. :o

    Night night

    Well at least now you know, and I still stayed up until 7:45! Hope you had a good sleep.

    I just spent 20 mins reading random pages in this forum back as far as my last birthday lol, so many good times this year...it was really awesome, one of my best years ever!:D:D

    Dude, it's Christmas morning! Or Christmas Eve/night. What are you doing here?

    (I'm allowed because I don't celebrate... also I'm doing bits of research and drawing)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    Hypocritical of me to celebrate due to my lack of religion:D Just chilling online, I'm allowed too:p Not tired either, so gonna stay a while until I am.

    You find/draw anything interesting?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭anothernight


    Nah I gave up trying to do some proper work, and just drew for a bit. Fashion type illustrations, because I was bored, and it's just an easy option really. I didn't want to start anything too intricate because then I obsess and don't sleep until it's finished.... not a good idea. It's also why I haven't started reading a book at all lately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    Fashion type illustrations, for the lady that's not into fashion :D Boredom is easy to come by, but not as easy to get rid of sadly...glad to see you got rid of it without too much effort. I'm sorta too tired to give a proper response, but have you planned on reading any books lately...like what would be your first one?

    I'm in girliness overdrive apparently. And fashion illustrations are just very fun to draw, and also very quick and undemanding =]

    I was meant to have started Mort a long time ago, but I can't find it anywhere. I think I lost it in my room. It's somewhere in my house anyway, and I'm not reading another Discworld book until I find that one and finish it. I bought it before I went interrailing >_>

    I was re-reading Dune, but since I seem to have given it away/lent it to some guy (I still don't know which :confused: I just sorta offered it or something...) I think I'm gonna finish some book that I've already started some other time. There's bound to be an unfinished book somewhere in the house! And if I can't find any, then it's time to steal them from my sister muahaha (taking special care to avoid all those Twilight series books, and other assorted crap).


    I'm trying to convince myself of not dying bits of my hair pink. The only problem is that the last time I tried to talk myself out of something like that, the next day I was blonde... :o


    I wouldn't think you're still up. In fact, I hope you're not. You need your beauty sleep!!!

    Girliness overdrive...could be the happiness factor of present recieving/giving that's the current FOTM!

    I've not heard of Mort, and never read Dune...but have seen Dune and it's a HUGE book you could potentially kill someone with (oh I've seen the movie, supposed to be faithful to the book). It would be nice to find a book to read, I've got one to finish here too...and would definitely stay away from those Twilight type ones like you will, waste of trees and energy they are:( She wont mind, she wont be here hahaha!

    Oh you dont know this, but if I was to suggest a colour for a girl to put coloured tips in her hair, it would be pink right? I love it soooooooo much!

    I was up until 7am lol! But I needs no beauty sleep, looking good already :p
    happpy present day!
    Happy Newtonmas to you too! :D Watch it all hehe.

    Nah I think the girliness is my body's attempt to offset all the male influence I'm having atm. It seems like suddenly all my day-to-day friends are guys. I mean, ALL of them. My girl friends, I rarely get to see them these days because we're all busy in different ways, though we do go shopping sometimes hehe. And that's when the girliness is most obvious.... >_<


    Dune isn't a big book :confused:
    The film is meant to be absolute shít, so I've never seen it. The dune universe has way too many layers for it to be converted into something decent on screen anyway. I doubt it'll ever be done properly. You SO should read the book. I know you like sci fi! If it turns out that I just lent out the book, when (if?) I get it back it must be read by you, definitely.


    I didn't know that. I'm probably going proper blonde again, so I think I might get some pink in my hair as well. It'll have to be all soft and girly though, because it seems like all my current winter clothes are very lady-like and stuff (I'm in the process of trying to wear less dark colours, and less stripes. Nearly my whole wardrobe was stripy, or black/gray/dark), and I don't like teenagers and their crazy hair lol So yeah, girly pink, not crazy looking pink, definitely.
    Wait... I was trying to talk myself out of it!!! Damn you!!!!
    I might not do it. Depends on boredom levels. If I do do it, it'll probably be in a few months.


    The Big Bang Theory is probably the one of biggest ever distractions to study. My sister and her boyfriend like to watch it when I'm doing college work... and then I find myself laughing and it's like "oh no!!! I'm not working! Argh!!!"

    It's really different when your friends split up and you don't see them as much as you'd want to:( I'm sure the shopping outings whenever you can meet would make up for some of it though right! ^_^

    Maybe the book I seen was not Dune? I am almost positive it was a big book when I seen it though:confused: Anyhoo, I'll try read it someday since you suggested it, and I do like sci-fi so it should appeal one way or another.

    Yeah that's true too, and although I really should be helping you to resist temptation...you know those cartoons where there's an angel and a devil on the character's shoulder suggesting you what you should do? Well I'm both of those at the same time:p I'm now wondering what you would look like blonde, esp with pink mixed in...maybe this? It would look good on ya, and it would look really cool in the winter months, but sure I can wait until you do it :pac: You do seem to like stripes...that's not a bad thing though.

    Major distraction for me too...but a great one, fair play to your sis! I've got 5 seasons of it on my hard drive lol and it never fails to make me laugh. It's just so nerdy & geeky you can't escape the humour:D

    Maybe you saw some edition with all the works put together? I've only read the first book, which I love, but never went on to read the other ones because apparently it goes downhill from there, and I'm not really interested in science fiction anyway.

    Not like Avril Lavigne ugh. I hate hate hate that girl/stupid teenagey woman. :mad: Someone who releases a song about not liking someone's girlfriend (with a ridiculous video for it) deserves no respect. Especially with lyrics* like "I'm a mother****ing princess". Seriously... :rolleyes:

    /rant


    To counteract the song that got stuck in my head...




    *I only know the lyrics because stupid girls in my school would sing that song every fúcking day. As if it wasn't one of the most annoying songs ever invented. Give me a collaboration with Justin Bieber with Lil Chris any day over that shít.

    EDIT: Omg you should totally dye your hair some cool colour!!! Hmmm what goes with a red beard? (I love red beards ^_^ )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    Oh jeez...I've managed to somehow bring out the rage:eek:Don't thump me! Only meant the hairstyle as in blonde with pink streaks, nothing else to do with her or her songs!

    Good choice of band that, I now like them. What do you think of these guys?

    But it's still Avril Lavigne. Her hairstyle looked pretty ridiculous imo. I wouldn't do it that way.

    Hmmm wonder how angry Tar will be if he sees my last post!

    Re the video: Never been into them. I can't say I like or dislike them tbh. They could possibly be growers, but I've never given them a chance. I have a friend who's trying to make me like them though!
