First of all why the christ would you let a girl pet your head in a group of people, particularly a girl that much younger than you? That would just look totally wrong altogether... And why, when you had let her pet your head and were feeling anxious, did you not just tell her to stop..?

I'm not trying to be patronising or anything but like.. I just don't get why you'd let yourself into a position where you THAT uncomfortable. Presumably the situation only got more uncomfortable after the anxiety attack to boot. You could so easily have used the age thing to get out of it as well if you needed a way out as well.

Two years.

Sorry, didn't check to see how old you were so that makes in not such a viable excuse alright.

The rest of the questions stand though. I used to be a wreck if I was ever in groups of people and that drove me to be a catastrophic misanthrope so I just avoided groups and stuff like that. And if I did get roped in I'd still take leave straight away if I was getting uncomfortable. I'm just curious as to why you let yourself in for it...

I just found the old letter me and Prex sent to Dev and Tracy for the Nice as A Really Nice Thing scrapbook on my external hard drive! Seems an absolute age ago. I suppose 2006 is an age ago at this rate! Speshully on here; only a few of the people involved are still floating around these days...

And the photos are still around and everything! I look about 7 years old in that photo..



Hey Lars, did Monga ever get that thong of yours?

Nostalgia win of the highest order...

Wow...I totally forgot we did this! 2006 is a long time ago. I'm so old! And you're so young! Wish I had more time to do things like this still.

I didnt get that thong. I've had to sniff my own in the meantime. Very dissapointing.

A damn shame. We'll have to whoop Lars into posting you some niceties to make up for the near half-decade of longing.

Wondering if I should put all this shit I have made this past year on a CD and give to Dev on Saturday. Is it "worth" it? Or something. Lulz.

Im somewhere past that misantrophy-stuff. I mean I don't get it anymore. I just want to be around people. And hippies (atleast the ones I was with) didn't expect anything from me. I could just be what I am. And they were nice, and the petting was nice, and everything was just nice. But its so ridiculous I still fall into this strange fear around people even if everything is ok.

And today I am so manic that I am laughing while slicing cheese on my bread.

My neighbour's baby is several days late now. We've tried yelling at it, offering it cake and bacon sandwiches, scaring her etc. I'm wondering if she has a squatter in there.

Hmm...Is the fact that I find out whether I'll keep or lose my job tomorrow upsetting or awesome?

I've hated it for the past 4yrs due to the shit company, staff and miniscule wage, but it (marginally) pays the bills. Maybe it's a worthy end to the daily misery of customer services. Hmmmmmmmmm... :/

What happened?

Eh, business dropped so quickly after the Christmas rush and the new catalogue launch hasn't brought the customers in so they've been dropping the Christmas temps like flies and now they're starting on the permanent staff. We've known it may have been coming, but the fact my boss hates me and has asked for a meeting tomorrow morning indicates the worst.

In readiness I've applied for 5 jobs this evening just in case, all more fulfilling roles than being whined at all day every day. I'll miss the stock guys though if I do end up having to leave.

Ah crap. Really sorry to hear that Steph... Hope you manage to find something new and better if it is bad news, though. Closing doors but opening windows and all that positive jazz.

Yeah right now I don't feel bad about it at all but we'll see what tomorrow brings. Regardless of me being unable to pay my bills and stuff, I'm looking forward to a change regardless of what form it takes. Even a teensy bit tempted to just jack it all and live on a whim.
Edit: that was not a euphemism, Mark. Stop thinking it.

Does anybody here have this hoody?:
(I'm sure many of you do...)
(...or maybe the other hoodie on the O Merch site (the Ziltoid one))



Compared to the Hoodie that came with the special Addicted package, is it better quality in terms of, shape? Cus that hoodie had a big bulge at the front (inb4 erection joke) whether folded over or not, and the hood itself is a bit short and doesn't cover all of my head properly. (I seem to recall Amber mentioning the same things about it when we first got them).

Oh. I am no long a "Tall Latte." Bummer. I have never been referred to as "tall" in my entire life. No way to perpetually be a "tall latte?"

I realise I have no sense of scale for disaster and impending doom. The stuff happening in Japan is awful, and I feel like I should have been like "HOLY CRAP WE ALL HAVE TO GO INTO HERO MODE AND SAVE THE DAY", but instead I was just worried about getting my essay written and playing some guitar. I guess it's because it isn't happening here, and I've never had something as crazy as a tsunami hitting England, so I have no real sense of perspective about it.

Found it kind odd, anyhoo.

Trust me, the "we must save you!" crews are here. Also, you'll feel some patriotic gushiness to know that the British Urban Search and Rescue are among that number. It always trips me out how much easier going the Brits are when they are dealing with tough times than us Americans. "It's been a rough day, innit? Let's get a pint", the look says. "Go away, I'm doing IMPORTANT WORK" our faces say. Well, not mine. Mine says, "HERP!"

I dont have the addicted package hoodie, but I have the one pictured. I can't talk about the bulge, but it seems to be a fitted hoodie. It is short on lenght, and for the head cover too. I usually wear large, and got a large, but I might have been better served with an x-large.

Hmm, I'm not sure then. I was just coming up with ideas for what to put on my "birthday list" that my dear mother wants to me provide.
