That you do dear. Do you still have the night-gown? You could go as Sadako/Samara for one of the Discos.....

one of the RAs last year told Aisling (whose second name i can't remember) that her pretty, kind-of 1940s, not at all revealing or slutty dress was inappropriate. mad, i know.

Yeah, but I'm going to try and find a better one. I'ma hide somewhre dark and jump out at people And it's Sadako, dammit!

Piste

But the Japanese girl doesn't say ''Seven Days'' in English now does she? And you do, so until you learn Japanese you are Samara!

JenLorigan

Very well. I think my brother knows Japanese.

Chowburger

Shichi nichi!
...
I think.
Should know, I'm taking the bloody subject for my Leaving Cert...

JenLorigan

Might be harder to make that sound creepy... I'll work on it.

Spent today searching for a suitable nightdress/huge Tshirt to no avail...

Chowburger

Yeah, come to think of it, hissing that at people would probably cause peals of laughter as opposed to squeals of terror...

Piste

Nono, she can make it aound creepy

Undergod

Or even better, do the grudge. The clicky noise is easy to make, but it may difficult to bend your elbows the wrong way.

JenLorigan

Haven't seen The Grudge. Either version. And I do Sadako damn well, though I say it myself.

Tadaa!

Chowburger

But the Grudge was, well, utter crap.

...Says she who couldn't sleep for two days after watching it...

But still,The Ring was at least a thousand times scarier.

JenLorigan

I haven't actually seen The Ring. Only Ringu.

doonothing

but JU-ON was *screams girlishly* very very scary...

Hugh Hefner

Maybe you could go as Cousin It, from The Addams Family. It's basically the same.

JenLorigan

Don't wanna. Though a suitable dress thing is difficult to come across.

jono087

there's always the DIY approach..... very authentic looking with a bit of thought!

doonothing

trois jours..

Piste

Nono, It's Wednesday today so that's 4 days till ctyi...

My sister has also suggested I live in a well for a week.

How did this discussion start again?

doonothing wrote:

anyone remember the thread from last year, i think it was called "its oh so close"... it was started a good few weeks before ctyi, and everyone (myself included) were insanely excited and used that thread to vent said excitement.

why does no one seem all that excited for this year? last year we rambled incessantly for weeks, nay, months in advance, session 1 has already started, whats with the lack of enthusiasm? are people just bored with ctyi? has it lost its magic? or was last year just really not that great?

With this apparently...

jono087

I don't think she wanted the actual post which originated this convo.....


and by the by, i suggest asking dermo for some tips on living rough, what with him being the most hobotastic hobo that ever roamed the streets of DCU campus.......

Undergod

Grudge as in japanese grudge. not scary, and even in bits stupid as hell, but the actual ghost-thingy is kinda cool.

God! You're all makeing me feel even more depressed than I am already. It's all over for me until next summer! I miss everything so much already and I've only been gone for a couple of hours.

*Goes of into a corner to cry*

Piste

I went shopping today with mi padre and bought stuff for ctyi: Razor, shower gel, toothbrush (manual, not electric), toothpaste, hair mousse, pop tarts (POP TARTS!), cranberry juice. I've started packing too. I spent most of yesterday washing and ironing clothes and I made a list (God, I love lists) of everything I'll need for ctyi.

In a way I don't want sunday to come around, it's almost as if I feel the excitement and build up to ctyi will lead to a dissappointment, like I've glorified ctyi in my head over the last year...but then again, in another, more accurate way, I can't wait!


I also need to get Jaffa Cakes....

Hugh Hefner

You've only started packing? I was finished yesterday! For shame!

JenLorigan

I'll probably pack tomorrow, or Sunday

It wasn't me!

Piste

lol couldn't be arsed writing out something proper

Raphael

Went shopping today, Instant noodles, mini muffins and cola, with chocolate for RA bribing.

Will pack my clothes bag tomorrow.

Chowburger

I went shopping for clothes to pack earlier. CTYI always highlights the fact that I own barely anything that even comes close to resembling clothing...

Food shopping tomorrow - infinitely more fun! My shopping list consists of: POP TARTS!

It wasn't me!

*Thwacks Aonghus* Pop Tarts you fool! The national currency of the Republic of CTYI!

PurpleFistMixer

I've been shopping for clothes all week. Shall probably do food tomorrow. Much instant noodles required. And fruit. And then packing/realising stuff needs to be washed/found, then freaking out.
Ah, the joys of packing.

mentalimplosion

gosh, all my packing clothes are all over my room, i'll probably never fit everything into some kind of transportable bag. don't be surprised if i turn up on sunday wearing 8 pairs of jeans, 7 tops and three jumpers.
the only food i'm planning on bringing are green tea bags. completely addicted. and vitamins, to avoid the disgusting colds i get every year.

It wasn't me!

YOU HAD LEFTOVER POP TARTS YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME?!



There'll be words about this buddy....

Piste

I ate half my poptarts today:(.....They'd better sell them at Eurospar...'cos if they don't....*shakes fist*

Lady penelopy

the foodstuff of which i have the most copious amounts is crunchy nut feast. not regular crunchy nut, nono, crunchy nut feast. sooo good, got me through my jc. ill be buying at least 4boxes...must remember a bowl, too...

Chowburger

Mmm, Crunchy Nut... If I could, I'd buy six boxes of the Nutty stuff to bring with me, simply in order to eat the little caramel-peanut yokes.

I brought a load of fresh fruit with me last year too, you dont get much fresh fruit in the canteen. Fruit for teh win!

Hugh Hefner

I'm bringing bags of Prawn Crackers. Straight from Thailand. They're not like the ones you get in restaurants (the proper ones) they're like Nik-Naks only not as made-of-feces (I like Nik-Naks).

Undergod

Muffins and caramel chocolate squares.

gigglingrat

Lemon ice-tea powder (yellow lemony sugar) and pretzels.

And I'll share the packets of them I bought today

I think I may have gone ever so slightly overboard on the food-buying earlier...


Add those two crates to the two bags I have, and I'll be easily recognisable tomorrow 'cause I'll be the one with the broken back!

Aoibheann

heh, again, snap.

I have....a large suitcase, a small bag, a guitar, havent packed up my food so either a couple of boxes/bags of food....I need another bag for my cds, books and the like...



ouch. I'm dead. Oh well.
