5 wanks?! Too much to handle.
handle/wanks/5
lots of jokes in there
yeah, but my tired mind can't summon enough energy...
...to work them out. So we'll just stick with the cheap 'wank furiously into my belly button' laugh.

so not every night
Err
Wash face.

lol
I don't know what 'It' is, but this ones got 'It'.

brush teeth
wee
take off makeup
take off clothes
get into bed

all this 'listening to music' malarkey, that just stops you from sleeping! doofuses.
amen
Only Night Jockeys and Rapists listen to music to get to sleep. And with the latter, it's usually a home made recording of 'Sleepy Gene' there listening to to.
They may even go outside and whip daffodils with a belt.
It depends what you listen to really...
Stars of the Lid are good if I can't get to sleep (not a comment on the quality of their music, they're just relaxing lyk).
^ this
i listened to Johnny Foreigner last night when lying in bed. i couldn't get to sleep for another hour after the music stopped, because i was, leik, lying down dancing and mouthing along in the dark, silence: you're life is a song BUT NOT THIS ONE!
aye
i listen to music BEFORE bed (i'm listen to Why? right now, it's gr8!) but not when i get in. Bed is for sleeping. Plus if i have the computer on i'll just get tempted to go on the internet :)
During term time
Stumble in
Eat cheese toastie
Have a cigarette in the back garden
Accidently wake my parents up
Fall asleep in the spare room
I actually just collapse
where I am, the worst is when I haven't planned anything at all for the next day and just go 'oh, I'll just lie back for a second'
mp3 player on of course....
errrm
it varies.
smoke.
teeth.
undress.
sex (with myself or others).
tv/music.
pass out.
repeat 7 days a week.
my routine is:
take dried out contacts out of my eyes
put on glasses
brush teeth
take off clothes
get into bed
read a wee bit of something, like a comic
lie down in the dark for a while
think about awesome stuff that i've made up during the day
shut my eyes and experience that weird sensation i get where it feels like the ceiling is expanding and the walls and the whole room is becoming like a hanging, but i'm not being shrunk or anything, and am, in fact, become more giantesque to fill out the room even though i'm really not
fall asleep
"hanging", god that's morbid
i meant "hanger". like an aeroplane hanger.
- Kiss hair of beautiful woman lying next to me
- Sleep.
show off
She probably doesn't know he's therw
so it's more of a confession.
i'm not sure
but this evening it involves being concerned about the enormous spider that was in my room and now I don't know where it is and OH MY GOD IT COULD CRAWL OVER ME IN MY SLEEP.
I mean seriously, this was fucking man-sized.
MTFU
Get a cup, and a piece of card.
i don't know where it is!
somewhere under my bed most likely, and I hope it stays there forever.
When I first saw it yesterday evening I got a cup but forgot the card, so it just crawled out and escaped, and hasn't been seen since.
Horrific.
Spiders usually follow a daily path, so chances are it hasn't included your bed in its route plan.
You should be perfectly fine. Should. Rather you than me.
i knew this girl from New Zealand, right
and she told me this AWFUL story of how there was a nest of giant spiders under her house and one night one of them got in the house and crawled over her.
omg, i was just sick in my mouth.
aren't spiders common in the UK?
ever seen the film arachnophobia? remember those massive hairy spiders in it? they're called 'avondale' spiders. They're from NZ... named after a little place called avondale.. in which they were EVERYWHERE. i lived there. suffice to say i woke up with spiders the size of my fist crawling across my duvet, on more than one occasion. But it's kind of expected.
SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP
SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP
:(
you're not in NZ.
you're going to be OK.
and breathe...... (although not too wide incase a spider crawls in)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
i dont think i could ever live anywhere
where there were spiders like that.
There are a lot of spiders in the uk, but any smaller than a key on a keyboard i can deal with, and most of them are ickle ones. Massive house spiders are HORRIBLE, but luckily living in a second floor flat helps with that.
common avondales:

oh god they're horrible
they're all pink and fleshy, that's gross dude
kinda like those things in the aliens films..
that jump onto your face and kill you.
although these ones are harmless. totally not poisonous. just scary looking. my cats used to like to eat them though. they made great play-toys. I used to find spider legs and body parts allover my house. pleasant.
i really need a cat.
one that'll eat up all the spider legs though...
:(:(:(
when my mum was staying in kenya she went outside one night and there was a spider the size of a dinner plate on the side of their tent.
She decided not to tell my dad, who has severe arachnophobia...
i won't be able to go to bed now
all i will see with my eyes shut is spiders the size of teeangers, smoking and saying "wanna see a dead body?"
a girl i used fancy told me that if you dream that you're eating, you're actually eating a spider. i had a dream i was eating two weeks ago.
:((((
APPARENTLY
there aren't poisonous spiders in the UK. Apparently. So I might make it through the night.
I'm starting to feel a bit like PocketMouse here.
there are, actually
BUT they're pretty rare, and they don't look much like house spiders. They're called 'false widows' but they're still poisonous enough to hospitalise an adult man.
sleep tight vikram! :D
x
oh fantastic
thanks for letting me know!
*involuntary shudder*
just keeping you informed!
;)
only one person has ever been bitten by one, if it helps.
and he didn't die.
yay!
yes, but no bites and no potential deaths
is better than getting a bite and living.
well
They only live in the south of england so far, the climate is too cold further north, so us two are safe so far.
having fun down there in oxford vikram?
^ 5
thank god for bitterly cold scottish weather!
well
I think the odd night of terror is a decent trade for actually having something approaching a summer :D
:P
i had bare legs today! AND i didn't get frostbite! how d'ya like them apples?
WHY
did I just use Google Images? WHY?
:Di just did that
to search 'massive spider'
hint: don't do it :(
:(
({)
good GOD

*resisting the urge to click on that*
no.
just no.
i think i'll leave this thread now.
OMG WHY DID I JUST CLICK ON THAT
:''''''''(
alley was very wrong with this comment
http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/3287098#r3287102
this thread is, in fact, the very opposite
i love that people have
an inherent compulsion to click on any link you put in front of them, especially when they know it's not going to be something nice. It should be called Lemonparty Syndrome or something.
i haven't clicked it
and i won't ever click it.
to make sure i never click it, i'll never click ANY LINKS EVER AGAIN!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHABOOHOOHOOHOOHOO!
...
http://www.bestpornever.com/youwillactuallydieifyoudontseethispicture.jpg
hahahahahahahaha
no.
i couldn't help it
even though i knew what it was going to be and that it would make me dream about pink fleshy spiders on my face all night, but I COULDN'T HELP IT.
Now i know what it is. I faced the fear. YEAH!
right
i'm going to bed. Very tentatively. Making sure to shake out all my bedsheets.
oh god
this sounds like the kind of thing that could happily walk the couple of hundred metres or so to where i live. if you can't see it, it must be on its way here. or already here. i can't see a spider in my room, so it must be under the pile of laundry that i've just dumped in the middle of my floor. OH GOD.
i too, am off to bed... good call.
wishing everyone not too many nightmares! or dreams of eating food. because that would be bad.
:(
once i didn't get to sleep till 5am cause a spider ran across my floor, and i could HEAR its FEET tapping across the floor and it went UNDER my BED
:''''''(
OMG that happened to me one time!!!!
it was bloody huge too! i thought it was leik an escaped tarantula *shudder*
i kept forgetting how big it was too, until it would run out from a different hiding space when i was sitting on the floor, playing guitar. then i'd jump up and run away and the guitar would go: "KKRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAANGAAAAANNNNNGGGGGGG!"
but then i saw it on the wall, above my door and the hoover was in the hall, so i sucked the fucker up.
TAKE THAT
Once there was one on the sink that was about twice as big as the plughole,
and i was about to get some water, and it ran ontop of a glass on the draining board like it was saying 'no water for you, bitch' so then i ran upstairs and then there was ANOTHER MASSIVE SPIDER IN MY ROOM :(
I made my mum and dad take apart my bed because i saw a spider in it, thn they couldn't get it back together (it was one of those 'cabin beds') so i had to buy a new bed.
spiders are scary.
they are
i heard that if the earth's gravity was a per cent lighter (or maybe heavier?) all the spiders in the world would die. but i dunno if this is true. i hope it is and i hope some nice scientist rectifies it immediately.
i remember my sister was once trapped downstairs and i was trapped upstairs because i spider was commandeering the staircase. i had to phone my friend to come and "hang out", just so he could get rid of it on the way up the stairs.
fail. :(
I could just imagine it
waving a little flag.
haha
that's so much worse than my spider-related lameness. You couldn't jump over it or something?
please, don't remind me
although, it could've probably tripped me up 'twas that big.
for that, my friend
you need banister sliding skills. All the things you get told off for when you were young pay off someday (Y)
my banisters are totally pants
you can't slide on them or anything.
pft
you only can't slide on them if you're totally pants.
all your trousers are the wrong grain, clearly. poppers ftw, they slide on anything, even shark skin.
