Posted October 25, 2009 Shorty, I checked that and showed the Ine. We are both shocked and appalled that such a creation was created. Yuck.I'd love to know how many have sold though. Who would use that?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm tempted to get it as a Christmas present for her, but act all serious and pretend it is the only thing she'll be getting. Also, when he said Scum, didn't he just mean that all the bastards get the hotties? And that, in order to receive love from de hotties, we ourselves need to be bastards? Or, Scum?

Posted October 25, 2009 So far, shoddy. Didn't find out the clocks went back until after I'd got up for work at 7am and gone in the shower (so I actually got up at 6am), some little scroat hijacked my rapidshare account so had to get my password reset, I forgot my work pass so I had to run home, then the metros were off so I was gonna be late (in spite of getting up an hour early) so I had to ring my mum and get a lift into town, which made me feel about 15 again when I'm pushing 30. Oh, and tryign to read a weeks worth of emails was made incredibly difficult by Outlook "Trying to connect to the exchange server" for about 15 seconds every time I clicked on an email.

Posted October 25, 2009 I don't see how scum floating at the top of a barrel = "the best". Because... We're not ugly, we're not idiots, we're not failures at life (well, maybe I am) so we're not the bottom of the barrel. If the bottom of the barrel is the worst then the top of the barrel is the best. And scum floats and is therefore at the top of the barrel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2009 I think, as Moogle said, he just meant the scum at the top of the pool of water, as in the best, the cream of the crop. We just have to convince OURSELVES that we're great and not so bad and then it'll be easy to convince other people of that. Positive self image (although not arrogance) being an attractive thing and all that. The whole scum thing was just an unfortunate choice of word/analogy I think.

I'm sorry but that still doesn't make sense You may as well say "if the top of the Earth is cold then the bottom is hot" The bottom of the barrel is worst... but that doesn't make the top the best. That's why we use scum as a negative description of a person in the first place. The bottom has sediment that sinks because it's heavier than water and the top has a layer of impurities that float because they're lighter... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 25, 2009 Gah, I'm trying to like this house, truly, I am, but when I come home and I'm greeted by 10 flies in the kitchen, I can't say I can like the house and the people who reside in it much longer. Sigh, who leaves food open in the bin rotting away and the recycling, WHO DOESN'T CLEAN IT BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN THE BIN/BOX/BAG? I mean come on... Its almost soul destorying (yes, yes emofied I get it), I cleaned it now, so hopefully it'll be abit better. Apart from the house and trying to get along with it, I've been pretty good. Went home, saw the parents, dad got me some nice yellow paint so my room can be re-painted, yay! Apprently it's been since I was like 13 since its been painted, it seems like yesterday I was after lime green wall paint! Found a flat to move into for next year, going to ask one of my uni friends whos not decided about next year if they want to move in, its only a two bed flat so it'll be a damn sight easy to live in. So I hope anyway, but its looking like the contract is shared, pester landlord time! So yeah, the house is abit cack, but everything else is going rather well!

Posted October 25, 2009 I've just got back from the LGBTQ Soc brunch at Univ College. I just love. I met this couple, Rory and Alex, who, while neither actually being that attractive, are both my favourite people ever. I'm just loling at the memory of them. The fact that everything said was comedy gold, and they just give off the ambiance that they are having loads of fun. The president of the society is a lesbian called Amy, and apparently a lot of people hate her (she seems really nice to me though...), and everyone just sits about bitching about her. Rory was texting on his phone, and we were like "that's a bit rude..." and he was like "I'm just texting James. "Amy Bellamy must die. She is a ugly witch troll."". It was just the funniest thing I've ever heard said, because he said it in such seriousness. And then later on we were browsing the library, and I picked up a book, called "Frisk", and was presently told to put it down because it was just a porno in novel form. Alex read a paragraph aloud, and I actually thought he was making it up as a joke, but it turns out it was a quote from the book - I won't even repeat it, because it was so disgusting. And then Rory looked over the two lesbians who run the library, and said really audibly "Filthy Lesbians.". I just laughed so much. The fact that it was male homosexual erotica, and he was blaming the probably-aloof female librarians. And I love the word filthy. It's just so evocative in my mind of hilarious things. Now I must work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 25, 2009 Personally, anything less than 40 minutes away by foot (about 2ish miles) is walkable. Drivers are just lazy (hang on it must be more than 2 miles, a nearby shopping centre is apparently (according to google maps) three miles away and that takes me half an hour) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 25, 2009 No. A move was necessary. But we has no monies. Besides I have now moved to Aberystwyth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) But you has monies for car? Ergo get a caravan. Combining the fun of living with the chore of driving! And I think Wales is a downgrade anyway To keep this mildly on topic. My friend who has periodically text me in the last four months saying "we need to meet up" and then failed to constantly because she's inseparable from her new rapist boyfriend has moved into the next town over and says I should swing by later when she's more sorted. We'll see if she texts me. Might go eat. Nobody knows what times they're going to be back and I'm bored. So food and Pushing Daisies it may be. Although I'll only end up wanting pie. Scratch that she text ! Off I go! Edited October 25, 2009 by Ashley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2009 Moved my xbox into my roooom! Yush! I can now have all-night sessions of whatever, without feeling like I'm hogging the TV - though the shift hasn't come without problems. - The other housemate's xbox doesn't have a HDD (wtf) so they kinda don't have any room on their memory card to make any new save files. I guess I'll have to move my profile off my memory card and lend them that if they need it. - No LIVE!!! Need to get me a wireless card thingum for the 'box after paidai.
