Lol "gymrabbit", peace and goodwill to all men as usual.

Just back from Collins' county. Have had a good Christmas so far, though I've an assignment or two to do over the Christmas holidays.

Just thrown on a fire in my parents house. Nicccccccccce.

If you've lost the receipt I can understand them being difficult about this but I reckon you chance going back and trying to talk to someone a bit more reasonable. Also name and shame the gits.

No I have the receipt, so it's not that. And I know it wasn;t their fault I picked the wrong book, but I have my suspicions that seventy euro college physics books might be hard to shift. Oh an it was in Hodges and Figgis (and if I get in trouble for naming them it's only because you said to heh!) Another thing is physics is really not even a major part of my course! However since it looks rather impressive on my bookshelf, things arent all bad.

Collins' country?

I'm back from the land of Tom Crean (who, apparently, I'm related to). Civilisation and public transport ftw; noise, pollution and concrete ftl. Dunno if I can be arsed calling out to Meath, though.

I just blew loads of 21st birthday cash in Dundrum. Oh, Virgin Megastores, you are an evil black hole of spending. Oh, and Bank of Ireland Credit Card Services are a bunch of lying, cocksucking, motherfucking cuntruffles, and I hope someone ejaculates into their eyes as soon as possible.

Maybe I'm more pleasant looking than you because H&F always change things for me.

Roro, what did you buy? And what did you think of Velvet Underground?

I can't sleep. As usual. Where's Pet? We could set up a support group for people who can't sleep normal hours :rolleyes:

John

Can I join? I went to bed last night and spent 2 hours wide awake. Then, just as I was falling asleep, the gales last night knocked over our bin. I would have ignored it only it was put out for the bin collection today and it was lying across the road so up I got and put it back. I went back to bed, started falling asleep again and it happened again. On my third attempt at sleep I heard the bin fall over again so I jump up, put on my shoes and grab my coat and head outside to find that it wasn't our bin this time! At this point I was wide awake and spent another hour playing various versions of solitaire with a pack of dinosaur playing cards that the wonderfully handsome John Guiney (is watching you) gave me.

Sorry, I was awake when you posted that though.

I couldn't sleep either, my shoulder/neck is really, really sore - dunno wtf happened, but it feels like tendonitis, and it's driving me round the twist. Grr!

John: I bought lots of DVDs and CDs (can't even remember half). Didn't get around to listening to anything yet, cos I'm still unpacking and all that, but I'll let you know when I do. Thanks again, btw.

oooooooh, use the cream. Ooooh my sinuses. You just need the skullcap ronan!

Re: the sleep thing: "it's the weather" as me granny used to say, and probably still does from the home. I spend the long nights perusing all manner of vintage razors on ebay, which is starting to make me feel like an anorak or a murderer and I'm not sure which. I'll have to step away from the brink and make a move to railway locomotives or something less odd but equally nerdy, possibly celebrity spotting (think about it, one man's class 121 locomotive is another man's paris lohan spice richie spears) although that'd be a bit, y'know, funny.

Pet

Hey, I'm pretty sure I got that injury by headbutting someone in the face. Yeah, I know, I'm double-hard; so don't call me Mort Goldman, bitch.

Other stuff: I'm currently not getting any work done as my obsession with the Simple Life continues unabated, thanks to YouTube. It's sheer comedy gold. Nicole Richie is a legend.

Do you love it?

Where abouts: Superquinn.

Well up today when I went to the doctors to be told that I had tracheal bronchitis and should not be in work. Its quite interesting actually, I keep wondering if I'm going to actually manage to cough up one of my lungs.

Apart from that its making me sore and tired and cranky and bitter and bitchy and sarky, demanding, anti-social, unable to sleep and poor company even for people who stalk the internet in the small hours.

And I think that this Christmas was the most ****ing stressful ever. I mean it was just so weird and tense and idfficult, that and I feel asleep at 7.30 at the table due to over tiredness and then there was the crying and the leaving and the blah de blah, though i was asleep for all of it but mmh..Bring on Hilary term.

Troglodyte

First time on Boards in ages now, and it seems a bit dead. You can kind of hear the wind whistling through the TCD forum like some sort of ghost town.

I love exaggeration....

John

And exaggeration loves you back

Crash

I shouldnt be allowed talk to people. which is weird for someone who spends most of their time avoiding college and doing social activities JUST to talk to people, but really. I suck at it, i get flustered, I act like an idiot, and two seconds later I want to make it better but I can't.

****. **** **** **** **** ****.

PS, its not as bad as that, but i feel like a completely socially retarded eejit right now, so meh.

Don't worry crash, most of the memories will be gone tomorrow morning....

that only works if I'm drunk. whereas I'm sober and still managed to do something that even a five year old would look at someone and go "man, he has no social skills" - ffs.

well i'm curious, what u say and to who?

I think she means me. If it's any consolation, I'm not the best company either.

Crash - bang your head off a (plasterboard!) wall. It helps. Especially if you do it in front of whoever you said something stupid too. They'll think you're a bit weird, but that's better than them thinking you're an idiot with no social skills.

Ha, that doesn't even merit the time spent worrying about it, unless it was at a job interview/funeral. Pick it up man!

No that was written before I spoke to you. It was in reference to internet weirdos who IM me and then expect sex, and usually I tell them to shag off very nicely, but now I just yell at them.

And Crash look at where you are, look again at your social skills, or lack there of. A sense of clarity should descend.

Lyme disease is ****ing scary ****. God I hate ticks.

Nietzschean

quote off dilbert newsletter...
One of my co-workers (who is originally from Arkansas, just FYI) told me one day that he knew for a fact that sex feels better for women than it does for men. I asked, "How do you figure that?" His reply was (and I am not making this up!), "Because when you put your finger in your ear and wiggle it around, it feels better to your ear than it does to your finger."

I've only seen ticks a couple of times. There's something very unsettling about them.

gymrabbit

man they're scary little yokes. and you can't just yank them out when they're inside you, you have to be clever/evil about it.

John

Burn them out

They were around in Kerry when i went out hillwalking. Ugh. Vile, disgusting, disease-ridden bastards.

Hey, it's not that bad. There's not much in the way of facilities or things to do outside the pub, but it's good for swimming/hiking/surfing/snorkelling and such, that's why I like to spend summer there. Although I guess my family is there, so free food/accommodation/lifts everywhere, etc..

ApeXaviour

To answer pet's question in the woohoo thread (but I was gonna post it here anyway). I stopped doing my report about 4 hours ago yet I'm still up because of all the coffee and cigarettes I had :mad:

Pet

Hahaha. I'm up because this is my sleeping pattern for the past week. But in a hilarious twist of events, I have to get up in about 5 hours for practice with John and the band. Oh joy. (The getting up that is, I have no beef with practice.)

8thor2nd?

The days seem to be really disappearing with regards to holiday time and back in college time. My brother has a couple of weeks to go, stargal seems to have a month left. And I'm wasting it away on the internet. /me cries.

Pet

Ah for ****'s sake. I have to be up in five hours to play drums, and I'm tiiiiiired.

Curse this sleeping pattern, and curse the internet.

8thor2nd?

Yeah I'm going to sleep now. Screw you PET!

He made it up in time and gave a sterling performance, hats off to our Roro!

Pet

I only made it up in time because of the ****ing FIRE ALARM THAT WOULDN'T SHUT UP. But thanks.

So, who wants to buy my SE K750i? The joystick is ****ed, but aside from that completely integral part of the phone, it's in great condition..

John

How many texts does it hold?

That's the thing about sony ericssons. They're fantastic BUT if they have a joystick it inevitably goes to the dogs unreasonably quickly. It's a major major major flaw of them and put me off putting it on the aul christmas list.

Santa Cockburn went ahead and bought me one anyway :rolleyes:

Luckily for me though the w300i has one of those circle buttons instead of a joystick

A few days ago my 750i completely froze up and now refuses to start up. I'd buy yours if it weren't for the joystick, which btw was not far from ****ed on my one also.

A BMW 750i? God, I wish....

Easy mistake to make though.

Edwardius

If only a BMW dealer made that mistake.

Edit: Does that make sense? I want a BMW 750i is what I'm trying to say and I don't want to pay for it. However ownership should be legitimate and the fooling of a BMW dealer must also occur. Anyone know any of those brain tricks in which you get people to pay you and convince them they've been paid? No? Ok. I wanna get rich fast.

Troglodyte

Unlikely he ever will though. And that's the thing about life, isn't it? Really lovely mistakes like that never, ever seem to happen, while the screw-ups that you really don't want do. Like the way that illnesses seem to afflict the nicest people, and the rotten s**ts that you'd wish plague and pestilence upon seem to sail through everything unaffected.

Edwardius

Yeah, Poor saddam!
