That One Thread About Nothing
 
So I still haven't bought my plants to start the garden. Then again it's already spring break so it will be a perfect time to start it. No excuses to be lazy.

What's going on with your lives?

Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.

HumanePain 03-16-2009 04:14 PM

What's new is bad. My charity committee has died: the three remaining members (other than myself, the 4th) have quit including the chair of the committee, so I have until April 1st to recruit 3 new members and appoint myself as new chairperson, or the surrounding charities lose our branch of the foundation and lose ten grand a year in donations. One retired and two are too busy with their jobs to devote the needed time to our fund raising activities. Sucks that the poor will suffer because of it.

Guh. My Youth Subcultures class used that movie as an example of a subculture (breakdancing, obviously) early in the semester. My professor really enjoys saying the name of it.

What do the committee members have to do anyways? Also is it a requirement that you have to live in the same state as the foundation?

I murdered most of my Sims today just to add more gravestones to my awesome goffik abode.

Yeah...

Moved to a new house, got a decent flat for fuck all and I'm trying out new methods/foods to cook with.

When are you going to New York, Jillian?

Saya 03-16-2009 07:21 PM

I drank pepsi today at work for the first time in forever and now my stomach is so bloated it hurts. My own fault I guess.

On the other hand, I made toutons! Yay!

Hahaha so do I.
I've been saying it constantly.

Geh. It's Paddy's Day now.
I shall be conspicuous in my avoidance of anyone who even looks at me in a false Irish accent at work, and shall head straight home afterwards for a sensible dinner and a night in.
I am not getting into all that Shamrock bullshit.
It would be far, far too easy for a red haired, green eyed, Irish-passport-wielding lass like myself to get far, far too many free drinks from the over enthusiastic English.
And the bloody accent everyone puts on....
ah well. 2.36am. Sleep time. G'night, G'net.

Ironic, I just set up a flat account with my friend who doesnt happen to have any Irish ancestry and he was ridiculously drunk sheerly because he had a 'reason' to get shitfaced.

Who gives a fuck if it's Paddy's day. If you need to organise something, don't get ludicrously wasted and then wear out everyone else's patience when you can't understand a damn thing we are saying.

G'nite to you.

emeraldlonewoulf 03-17-2009 07:48 AM

life is good. Just recently got dependable internet access back ( YAY!!), hence my renewed ability to lurk in the forums. Trying out a combination of square foot and container gardening this year, just planted broccoli, spinach,lettuce, etc. Gonna try the whole growing tomatoes upside down thing too. Still driving taxi.

Hello all.

CrimsonPythonidae 03-17-2009 08:00 AM

*sigh* I am worried I'm going to lose my job because I'm a f#*kwit lately. But things could always be a lot worse so I can't be too stressed out about it. At least I have a job and the option to stop being a dickhead which is a lot more than blah blah blah the usual . . I'm actually kind of tired.
Nu'night

Underwater Ophelia 03-17-2009 08:26 AM

Putting off cleaning my room in preparation for a lady companion.

Necrophagist 03-17-2009 11:16 AM

I made a new song.

Underwater Ophelia 03-17-2009 11:36 AM

Completely cleaned my room, and she isn't coming.
Women blow.

Duane 03-17-2009 11:46 AM

I'm working on a cover of Hey Sandy, the adventures of Pete and Pete opening song.

Delkaetre 03-17-2009 04:35 PM

I ended up out at the pub.
I think I now have a switch female to enjoy and take to clubs, and a submissive male to play with in general.
And no one tried to put the Shamrock/ Guinness comedy hat on me again after I took the damn thing and hid it.

Aww, poor Ophelia! C'mon over to England, we'll entertain you. We promise not to back out and leave your charms to waste.

Godslayer Jillian 03-17-2009 05:56 PM

Tell me if you guys think this is ok.
I asked for an application at Cinnabon. I've applied to many places and I'm desperate for a job.
So to get a small edge above the rest, besides my application, I'm gonna give them a note saying and if my application does not convince you that I would love working here, maybe the Furious Little Cinnamon Roll will
And then I draw the Furious Little Cinnamon saying "HE REALLY LOVES ME"

Could they consider me because it's cute?

they might think your being rude/sarcastic.
but its worth a shot right?

LaBelleDameSansMerci 03-17-2009 07:22 PM

I'm really tired, and should be summarizing notes in preparation for a slide test that I have tomorrow, but I really can't concentrate.

$haDe 03-18-2009 08:21 AM

I did it with 15-years old boy.


Wait... ,he did me.

You seem to have a bit of a knack for finding flaky women. I promise if I ever get the chance to visit your room then I wouldn't think of standing you up.

I don't mean to be an asshole, but I know for a fact that where I work (which is Pacsun, so a similar sort of business), we'd laugh at it, but then put it in the pile of applications we'd never consider.

You're better off going in and chatting up a manager (provided they aren't really busy), and then saying, almost as an afterthought, that you have an application to hand in. Be polite, but stupid-cheery, and definitely talkative about DUMB shit. Like clothes or other desserts you like. I know it's ridiculous, but the service business wants to hire people who people want to buy from. People want to buy from cheery morons.

Glue a fluorescent dildo to it to grab their attention.

LaBelleDameSansMerci 03-18-2009 03:53 PM

Someone applied to McDonald's and filled the fields out with things like "Vice President" for job looked for, or "20 million per year" for desired salary. Apparently they hired him cuz they thought it was so funny.

Moaaaaa... I think the thread title of this is inappropriate as well. There are many threads about nothing on this board.

Pyre 03-18-2009 03:55 PM

I think trolls are breeding.

Solumina 03-18-2009 05:10 PM

Nah new memberships were halted for a bit so the trolls just circled like sharks waiting for their opportunity to strike and now they have their chance

Catch 03-18-2009 05:14 PM

So anyone think QTip is looking for attention? :)

Saya 03-18-2009 07:50 PM

Buh bye for a while. Ye all know me msn.

G'nite to you.

I have hoisted a beer or an Irish whiskey or two to celebrate my Gaelic ancestry on St. Patrick's day.

But I've never used the day as an excuse to get rip roaring drunk. That's what New Year's Day is for!

I think the ultimate irony is thinking of the good folks of Ireland looking across the ocean at all us crazy Americans ... where we make a much bigger deal about the day that the actual citizens of Ireland do. And he didn't drive any snakes out of our land!!!

Of course, it's been said that the Irish don't need to work that hard to find an excuse to go drinking.

"What did you say, Paddy? It's Tuesday? Well, I guess I'll better nip off to the pub for a pint or two."

Now I'm probably in trouble for perpetuating stereotypes! Oh well ... just call me impetuous.

Ben Lahnger 03-20-2009 12:10 AM

Whenever someone starts a statement off with, "I don't mean to be an asshole, but ..." you know thought pops into my head?

Yes, you do.

Guess what? This place, as well as most places on the interweb, is primarily full of people looking for attention.

But y'all know who you are.

I had to spend all day in a chilly warehouse :( . I went outside on my breaks though. Really bright and warm. Perfect for a coffee and a cigarette .

Pyre 03-20-2009 01:14 PM

I really want some pickles, but I don't have a car, and no one is around to spend 40 minutes driving back and forth and then waiting for me to get pickles. :( Maybe next weekend, or maybe in two weeks when I can convince others to buy them for my birthday. (I am that easy to please.)

Guess I'll watch Aladdin for the second time in 3 or 4 days.

Solumina 03-20-2009 09:56 PM

I now own blue leopard print pants, I know that they are kind of tacky but I adore them, pictures will be posted at some point

Mir 03-20-2009 10:03 PM

Switching over to the night shift is so awesome. I am all alone in the building, I'm drunk, and playing music at full blast. Weeee!

Solumina 03-20-2009 10:03 PM

Where do you work?

Technical Services Analyst. That basically means I'm responsible for all our external clients in terms of I.T. requests/issues. All internal I.T./EDP issues/requests.

Pineapple_Juice 03-20-2009 10:06 PM

I've been three days without a cigarette and I'm going nuts. I've been eating and eating and I think I've gained at least ten pounds, which sucks because I had finally made it to the 130-something range, which I haven't been at since Junior High. Watched old vampire movies, updated song information for my ipod (i.e which albums everything belongs to) because I steal most of my music, and got rainchecked for a night out with the BF.
Poop poop poop.

Mir 03-20-2009 10:07 PM

Hang in there. When you look back at this whole situation, you'll realize that giving up cigarettes was the best possible thing you could ever have done.

Try chewing gum instead of eating when you feel the urge.

Solumina 03-20-2009 10:30 PM

Try eating celery sticks or carrots, the crunch seems to help people and they wont make you put on weight, in fact celery takes more energy to break down than you get out of it so it has a negative caloric value.

Pineapple_Juice 03-20-2009 10:36 PM

Yeah, I've been chowing down on the carrots, but I'm fresh out of celery. Maybe I should just start eating more ice.
