Life and Stuff and Things and Junk
Sunday, April 11, 2010 9:29:28 PM
Ha, I said "junk" *giggles*
Ahem. Well, I can't be bothered to divide up my ramble with smileys, so deal with it
.
There's actually nothing particularly noteworthy in events to report, but that's not really new, is it? Gran came to see us on Friday, and that, of course, was fun. I made a batch of chocolate pretzels especially for that visit, and she loved them.
She also made me watch the second Twilight film.
Eh. Now, she loves Twilight very much, so I will sit through the movies and discuss the books. It brings her a lot of happiness. But... I'm glad the movie ended... Eventually
.
Friends. Hm. I've let a few go. Not since my last notifier, so don't worry. But some didn't seem to realise it until recently.
I feel a little bad, sure. But I'm not gonna be guilted into feeling terrible. Who sees and does not see my friends only posts is my jurisdiction, and if I feel uncomfortable with certain people then it's neither my nor their fault. It's just how it is and that's that.
Another friend issue, a lot of them are away. Some seem to be indefinite, others pop in when they can. It's not a problem, but sometimes you have to wonder if they're okay. But we're all adults here (some moreso than others) and that's online life for you. And offline, actually. Their worlds revolve around themselves just as ours revolve around us. *shrugs*
Personal kinda stuff, well, things are... Eventful. We'll leave it at that.
I'm not loving the way kids are elongating words online. In fact, it really annoys me. Stuff like "oh yeahhhh that was reallyyyy funny lol" and variants of. The ones that bug me the most are words ending with e. It goes on forever, like "are you talking to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?"
I mean, come on. You want to seem stoned or something? It'd be more convincing if you tried to eat your fucking keyboard.
I've given up with trying to deter the sad lonely male population of MyOpera. I've tried everything. My about page specifies my relationship status and my contentment within it. I've ranted. And hey, take a look to the right of the page (or the bottom if you're a phonie). That picture was selected for its' silliness in particular. But, no. Not deterring. Still, doesn't take long to click to refuse a request. The persistent ones get blocked. Easy
.
My favourite Spongebob pyjama bottoms have a tiny hole in the leg
.
On that note, I'm almost always in a combination of Spongebob and Hello Kitty attire lately. How Mik can even look at me I don't know
.
Ooh, total food craving of this particular time has got to be cheese-topped soft white bread rolls. Asda sell them, and while they're not the healthiest thing, they're so, so soft and delicious with tomato soup.
We got season 3 of 30 Rock last week. Very funny. One of my favourite tv shows. It's really something you either get or don't get, though, it seems.
Ok, I'm bored now. Whatever's left of my friend list may go about their lives once more.
Whoever's not on it, thanks for reading. (And regulars, you've been officially spotted thanks to my more bored days where I like to correlate random data together.)
Or something. That either made me sound clever or stupid. Possibly both.
Eh. *leaves*

Personally I've been incredibly busy as I've became a head of a research group, and for a while we had the chance to get to Singapore - apparently due to an outer mistake we have to "stay home", but we always have to work on 110% and it usually gives me close to no time to get here. I'll write about its public part when I have time - hopefully by Next Friday i will have more free time.
He can look at you coz he loves you?

I pruned my facebook, and people got really upset. But really, one doesn't want every-one reading everything.

Sorry to hear about your pyjamas. I have the same problem with my favorite slippers. I have to dispose of them and get me some new ones. That is so sad.
FlaRin # Monday, April 12, 2010 5:18:24 AM
I can't be arsed with facebook, to be honest....

Shame about the cancelled Singapore trip, I'll look forward to reading more on your post as head of the group then.
And yes, I know he does. But I'm a grown woman almost constantly in cartoon clothing
Gavin - that is very true. Kids butcher language
I think people always get hurt when they're removed, but sometimes things change. Some of us do not feel comfortable with people we don't know or trust fully seeing stuff, and that's fair. Facebook for me, well, I'm rather lenient. I try not to let my blog be known there, though. And I've banned swearing too, so it can get a bit difficult.
Martin - I've actually read all the books at my Gran's will and I did not approve at all. Never mind the predictability and teenage crap, the strange interpretation of vampires, the books are teaching kids that you need a guy to live. And that's not good at all. To be fair, it shouldn't be read by small kids anyway, but, hey. It just ain't for me.
Sorry about your slippers, too. It really sucks when a favourite piece of clothing gets damaged, especially when it's irreplacable.
Flarin - yes, we have the entirety of it on DVD
Facebook is not a necessity, but I use it to stay in touch with family. Without it, I'd never converse with most of them.
Kitty - I think people get upset with me because I already have them on there, then I am about to make a very personal post and I remove them. I know it isn't fair, so perhaps I should just not make the posts, I don't know. But things change between people too, otherwise I'd keep them on there. I dunno. I've got about 14 people on my list, and the people that tend to get upset are those that just add everybody. You'd think they wouldn't care.
Mart, I wouldn't have expected anything less

Who, except yourself, should have anything to say about your friend list... (I won't put a question mark there since it's not really a question. Or maybe it is, but a rhetorical one?)
I've watched a bit of BBT (funny!), but it's been on hiatus here for a while. I think they have a new season coming up now, when they get back from the North Pole. I don't know which season that is.
Spaggyj # Monday, April 12, 2010 10:42:11 AM
Dog, shut up
Stomyr, that doesn't surprise me at all
Flarin - I would never tell, don't worry
I get what you mean about being able to be a part of someone's more personal life. I know you and I have had an issue or two, I'm still sorry about that and I'm very glad it's resolved
Hiya Rosie
Big Bang Theory is awesome. The season you're referencing is Season 3 - it's not out on dvd here until September, so we've not seen it yet either.

Been very busy for about a month or so, but I am preparing one long and exciting journey at the end of June; hopefully there will be a lot of photos and few posts after it

Do you keep your fingers crossed constantly until the event has come to pass, or are you allowed the occasional uncrossing?
Are you supposed to cross fingers on a schedual, like a ritual and otherwise keep fingers uncrossed?
I mean, even the simplest daily tasks are impossible to complete with crossed fingers. I suppose I could undo my fly with one hand, but next step becomes somwhat of a motorical challenge with crossed fingers, even if I limit the crossing to only the one hand's fingers.
Help me out on this one, please?

Haven't heard of 30 Rock.
Sorry about your pj's.
Did you sew it up?
Spaggyj # Tuesday, April 13, 2010 4:38:29 PM
30 Rock is good, extremely popular from what I gather.
I can't really sew up the hole, it'll pucker the material. It's thin cotton and it'll look very weird. If it gets bigger than pinkie-sized I'll probably patch it.
Dacotah # Tuesday, April 13, 2010 5:55:21 PM
May-be you can patch it before it gets bigger?
Spaggyj # Tuesday, April 13, 2010 6:26:36 PM
It's not worth patching the hole, it's about one millimetre in diameter right now.

We all have lives but some people do seem to assume that it's all about 'them'.

(happy to be wrong, though
Mad Scientistqlue # Thursday, April 15, 2010 4:35:33 AM
'spelled' is also an adjective meaning 'bewitched' or 'cursed'. Although that's more of a slang term from the 1600's and not really a contemporary usage.
Even American grammar differs significantly from English.
For example, the term, "Be real." is a valid sentence in American but doesn't even qualify as a phrase in English!
