Very little work has been done by me this day.

Definately not good. Latin must be translated, languages must be transcribed, and essays must be written.

Wait... I'm thinking using Latin grammar rules

Is this a good thing or not?

 

Well, I was throwing one my my photos of Auckland Harbour onto member photos for the "Find me a Picture" thread, and I decided to put up a bunch of photos of myself from my more recent travels.

The scary thing about the photo in St Petersburg is that I was so drunk that I don't remember anyone taking it and, even more scary, I don't remember ever wearing the silly looking hat. God only knows what else I don't remember about that evening. Too much Vodka.

 

@DHB, that made me laugh almost as much as the Simpsons did earlier tonight!

Well, it looks like I'm going to be dirt poor for another two weeks. I got paid today and $238 of my $300 check is already gone towards paying back the post-dated check loan I had to take so I could pay the bills durring thr last two weeks. Can one survive on $68 for two weeks? I wonder if they'll let me take out another $200 loan...hell even a $50 loan would help. I hate being poor!

 

*hugs Kitrax*

Lai, nothjing wrong with Latin... except that it's evil

 

I wonder what the world would be like without the hugs from Ara...

The worst fate.

/me shudders

 

(from ancient Sumerian ideograms translates as Chev's lunch)

Time to go to uni for two boring lectures and a couple of breaks, spanning over 3 hours and 20 minutes. After that, a ride home and then, after some time, back to uni for a 1.5 hour class. Talk about inconvenient schedule.

I'd better take a fantasy book with me or I'll die of boredom.

 

My next to last day at me job...Ahhhh! I can't wait to start my new gig!!!!!!

 

Go Bel!

am thinking of hitting 50K during this wake cycle; should be entirely possible, even igf the quality of my work might drop drastically....

 

Wow, my replacement hard drive just arrived. Next day delivery at 7:50 AM - I must admit, I am impressed.

 

12 hours to go for my flight back to India...

And I can't wait!!

I might not be around for a couple of days once I leave...gotta find me a computer there...ah well, a few days without SP won't kill me...I think...

 

Today, I've read an opinion that "if you kiss someone, doesn't mean you have to date them exclusively". So much meaning in one phrase.

Surely one kiss doesn't make a relationship, but what the hell is dating non-exclusively? Frenching a different person each day? Is that done in turns or at random?

 

@Chev...If this includes Butt Kissing I have a few people in some of my classes that will never be exclusive.

 

Still no email from the director of the play about who got what part.

Will someone please kill me so that the waiting doesn't?

 

Gladly.

*kills Laiwethel in a disturbingly artistic way*

I'm bored again - I want to do something *exciting*, but I've no idea what.

Hehehehe....I just made a custom Ankeg for ToB that when you see the antennae of the little bastard, you had better have your mages and other weaker party members run for the hills, and get you tanks ready for the fight of their lives! Beside giving him a few innate spells...like stoneskin, horrid wilting, and spell trap...he now has two attacks with his claws each round, that do 2D10 +5, +3 acid! Oh yeah, he also goes after the weakest party member in sight.

The sad thing is, I should have been sleeping while I was making him. Oh well, that's why there is Mt. Dew!

 

GO Kitrax! Unleash the ankegs on Lai! That should get the job done! And if not, then I know a psychopathic girl with a katana who might want to help...

Boy, I've been away too long (about a week), now I'm behind. Lots 'o readin' ter do, or maybe not. I'm too lazy, I'll catch up on the weekend, I've things to do... well, almost

I'll try to catch up but no guarantees.

 

That's not good enough. We need guarantees!

 

If I had just one wish, it would be that life would have background music. That'd be so cool.

Oh, and that it would be music people would like. I don't want that whole "Family Guy" scenario...

 

@ Harbourboy - FINE! Saturday will be catch up day, such a chore

@ Kam - Life doesn't have background music? I thought it did, or is it only me

*sings* Over the hills and far away!
She prays he will return one day,
Far from the mountains and the seas,
A prisoner's life for him there'll be...

Good song, I don't know why but I love it. A pitty its not the background music often enough.
