What are you doing today? (non-Zonino-centric)

So, those of you who aren't going to Zonino today, what are you doing that's waaaaay more exciting, yeah? I'm packing boxes.



  • Chronologically organising

    my CD collection. I'm daftly excited about it

    • EPIC

      • I know

        Thanks!

        • i rock the "by genre" system

          chronological ordering is something i hope to do at some point

          • I've always wanted to do it

            and now suddenly have all my CDs in random boxes and a brand new rack.

            I think now is the time.

            (I am quite a dork)

            • you've come to the right place

  • !

    • I don't understand.

      How are you, atbay? What's that guy \/ really like?

  • Oh, it's already "today" and I've not gone to sleep yet :(

    • Heyyyyyyyy, have you sent my letter?

      I cannot wait to send you a reply. Already.

      • Not yet...

        But I wrote it this very night! I'll probably be posting it tomorrow. Exciting time, ur whet!?

        • ...What?

          What's "whet"? It sounds like you're asking me something inappropriate.

          • I was trying to do my cool way of saying "or what?"

            Once again, I suck :(

            • Nahhhh.

              Ok, yeah, very exciting! Ohhhh, I can't wait to see it!

  • Turning hay

    and running later.

    • I always find your mentions of farming sort of surreal.

      ^ city girl

      • The internet was not designed for agricultural talk :(

        • a sheep!

          Haha, I'm not *that* bad. Anyway, you'd have to never have payed attention in preschool to not know what a sheep is.

          Is that yours? What's its name? It's cute.

          • When my mum used to teach kids in inner city Birmingham

            they went on a trip to North Wales and were persuaded that the reason that sheep walking on mountains can stay up on a steep slope is that the legs on one side of their body are longer than on the other side. When they asked how they got up and down the slope they were told that they had to walk up and down the mountain in a spiral to compensate, something that they apparently believed.

            Not a slur on you being a city girl, mind. I just thought it was amusing.

          • It was

            That photo's from a few years ago... if I remember my camera tomorrow I'll snap the lamb I have to bottlefeed! It's very cute :)

            • and by tomorrow I mean today

            • Does it have a name?

              If not, can we name it, please? I love naming things.

              • can we call it 'chop'?

                • No!

                  • have you ever seen neighbours?

                    one of the families had a pet lamb called Cassie (short for casserole) in that, that was pretty funny

                    what about 'Stu'?

                    • i have no idea if lamb stew is something people eat

                      it sounds wrong for some reason

                    • No!

                      We should really see it before we name it. But I'm thinking this French name that I can't pronounce or spell properly, but it's a good one. It's something like a combination of "Field-ya-no" and "Feld-uh-noo", but nothing at all like that. Yeah?

                      • what about

                        cĂ´telette

                        i have no idea what word youre going for there, is it just a name or an actual word?

                        • No!

                          Yeah, it's an actual name. I've only ever met one person with it, though.

                          • i wanna write a book where the main character is called Mr G Raffe

                            do you think is should

                            none of my experiments with the suggested pronounciations are working with google, hmmm

                            • His name should be Gavin Raffia.

                              (Or however you spell that word.) You don't want to make it too obvious.

                              Yeah, I tried that and also tried looking up "French baby names" and couldn't find it.

                              • seems like it should be feldeneaux or something, huh?

                                "foldenauer" is the closest i got...

                                true, can you think of any other cool names for characters in my book?

                                • Nah, I'm going to bed.

                                  I should be packing, but hey. I'm doing it all day tomorrow anyway; if I can't get it done in that time---well, then I'm screwed!

                                  Or I'm not going to bed? I can't really decide. I'm tired enough, but I should probably make some effort to stay up and pack. Plus I have an essay due Monday that I haven't finished all the reading for, so it would be good to have more time tomorrow for that. Hmmm.

              • My sister may have already named it

                but they're my sheep so her opinion is void.
                Yes you may name it, but no you may not it Chop!

                • hi cowcow

                  • howdy

                    how are you? i was tired ten minutes ago but now I'm not. oh dear

                    • hi

                      i'm okay, i'm a wee bit drunk but not very, hence my awakeness and coherence. do you think girls will like me if i stop drinking and start collecting stamps or comics?

                      • Totally

                        More girls should get hot over a stamp book imo

  • Band practice

    and eating sandwiches

    • Gotta eat them sandwiches

      • ^ this

        full field report to be published as usual

  • Ripping a load of cds I've found lying about at home,

    that didn't get taken to university for some reason. Apart from that I'm going to an open studios thing at Banks Mill (local art & design place run by the university), finishing taking pictures for the DiSposable camera challlenge and taking lots of proper photos now my camera is fixed. Oh and probably listening to Slanted and Enchanted for about the 20th time this week.

    • Ahh, I'm doing that tomorrow too, the camera thing.

      Because I'm moving and my new neighborhood is ugly compared to my old one, and I don't know any good scenes yet, and I want to take some nice scenery shots. So Sophia, if you're reading this (unlikely), I'm starting my photo-taking early, so that you'll get some decent photos.

  • I'm planning to play Civilzation IV all day

    \m/

    • We actually have this.

      My sister and I tried playing each other at it once, but we got too bored waiting turns and stuff and plus we suck. Favorite empire?

      • I like playing as America on the giant world map, actually

        It's so easy to set up a massive North/South America mega-empire and rule everyone.

        But the German's are my favourite.

        • Civ IV just reminds me of proslo

          I miss proslo. Hope he's enjoying himself down there.

          • I saw him on here the other day, I swear.

            But obviously it was just a brief thing. I thought of proslo earlier today, as it happens, because I was listening to Islands and I imagine Nick's voice as being very, very similar to what he sounds like. Not on purpose, just as it happens. Weirdness, especially as I can't hear his voice now without thinking of proslo.

  • maybe going to Manchester

    to see pops, get my laptop fixed, and buy some CDs which someone else didn't want

    • We're meeting in Manchester?
