Losing it in London!!!!! The weather's mank, the people are mank, this computer is mank, the smell in this room is mank, and I've just had a manky history lesson which made no sense. One of those days when you just wish for that portal to Middle Earth to open up in front of you and transport you to the Shire. Even a scrap with Sauron would be more fun than school at the moment.

Cr@p. So how did mum react, precisely?

Lizra · 11-19-2002, 03:07 PM

Wow! First Sween....I can't believe you did that (made the film over her "Little Women") I'm afraid you are living up to your title! There's not much you can do now! Did she give it back? or erase it? You sure don't want little Sweeno seeing anything like that, or polaroids either! Might want to do an inventory, and destroy any unecessary stuff, and whatever you keep, "Keep it secret, keep it safe!"

Anduril, I wish I could stroke your hair and tell you it will be all right!

Your face will calm down, (course it will probably peel first!)

If you can't just avoid the hot babe at work, then BE COOL! (Yeah my face is burnt, happens all the time when I run.....no biggie, maybe a little smile reeking of "boyish charm") Why does your car keep overheating? Need a new radiator? Any way you can trade it in for a newer model? I hate it when cars begin to get "chronic" problems, the repair bills can be outrageous. Study the situation carefully and decide if repairs or new vehical is the way to go. Check your car fluids all the time! Hope you get your FoTR soon!

I'm sure you both don't "need" this advice, I'm just doing my "Motherly" thing!

Probably best to tell your lass that your mum has seen the tape before they meet again

Vent:Bleedin' keyboard is almost broken...........have to slam the return key to get it so function.......poor thing has spent too much sufference time while playing Wolfenstien.

Apart from that little annoyance..........life is

(so far

)

Lizra · 11-19-2002, 04:00 PM

My son's playing has removed some letters from our keyboard. He played star wars games forever, now it's World War Two army games, and "Plastic Army Men"

We do computer games with him so he doesn't get Nintendo addicted. Computer games are addictive too, but I thing Nintendo and stuff is even more addictive, With the computer games, there's always the envitable lock ups and system blow outs to slow it down. I'm trying to save Nintendo type stuff for a few more years! (he will be 7 in April)

I'm waaaay too self-conscious for that. But it's okay, she'll be gone at the end of the month.

Oh, and "boyish charm"? Hah!

There's a leak somewhere -- probably the radiator. And the temperature gauge isn't reliable. And I drive like a madman on.......gummyberry juice?

More:
Need a new radiator?

Perhaps. I just replaced it about six months ago, though....

Quote:

More:

Nope. It's worth about R15000 (translated to about $1500), and I'm planning on picking up a Corolla RunX in April (about $12000 -- dada works for Toyota, so I can purchase at cost). It'll go to my brother, when I'm done with it.

Well, this time I didn't melt the engine, so the only problem is the water-leakage situation, but that's being checked out now. A new car is definitely the way to go. Nobody wants to drive an '88 Corolla hatch.

I do, every day.

Thanks mama.

But now, let's get back to the hand stroking hair business.

The Lay of Lizra (and Anduril). Okay, forget the brackets: The Lay of Lizra and Anduril.

Lizra wished she could stroke Anduril's hair, and tell him he'd be alright.

So she...

Lizra · 11-19-2002, 04:18 PM

The Lay of L and A, oh, that is REALLY funny! ( Bad thoughts!) I drive a Toyota too! (98 Camry LX sigh!) I've had four now. I really like them! Come on, being cool is so easy! JUST DO IT!

that would be me. Her reaction was a mixture of shock and digust. She was really peaved off that i had taped over her favorite movie and she didnt need to see that image (in fairness i walked in on them the other week i didnt need to see that either)

Vita was with me when she confrounted us about it she went the worst shade of red every (she could not have a go at me it was her idea in the first place)

All is forgiven now i have found her a replacment copy of little women on the net tonight so all is forgiven if not yet forgotten

You had them too? I knew it!

Hmmmm....I cannot determine an obvious addition to the Lay of Lizra and Anduril, so I'm just going to have to pick and choose...

Lizra wished she could stroke Anduril's hair, and tell him he'd be alright.

So she...

...had bad thoughts, and demanded insanely, "JUST DO IT!"

So Anduril.....

Andúril · 11-19-2002, 05:14 PM

Sween, did mum keep the tape, or did she give it back to you? If you got it back from her, did you have to ask her for it?

If she still has it, will she watch it in the future?

Is there no end to me blasphemousness....ness?

Coney · 11-19-2002, 05:21 PM

Anduril, I can't look at your avatar without thinking of your sunburnt face..............could the sunburn be the revenge of the smileys on you?

Silverstripe · 11-19-2002, 05:33 PM

I started something non ME related on another website and now the website isn't working! Grrrrrrrrrr! We hates it for ever!

well she threw it at me so i did retrive it

BeardofPants · 11-20-2002, 01:36 AM

Oh man, that sucks when you walk in on your parents... I'm still scarred from the time when --- yeah.

Sween: haahahahaa! (Sorry, I have this awful pix in my head of the expression on your mother's face when to her shock and horror, instead of watching Beth et al, she sees your pimply white ass!) So how x-rated was it? (nosey kiwi

)

Good. The other hypothetical scenarios would have taken awkwardness to a new extreme...

BoP:

I second this question, although I'm not really a nosey kiwi.

Why isn't anyone continuing The Lay of Lizra and Anduril? This story, legend I should say, looks promising. At the moment, Lizra has just demanded that I "DO IT", whatever that entails. So we need to continue from there.

<Bad thoughts>

Alright. I've held off for as long as I could:
The Lord of the Rings is NOT a trilogy!

Thank you for indulging my inanity.

BeardofPants · 11-20-2002, 05:46 AM

Room for a third party in that Lay?

Not really a vent, but I was catching the bus back home after a night out, and there was this really nice alcoholic on there. It was so sad, because he was serenading us with a bad rendered version of Strawberry Fields, and riding the bus around all night, looking for places to busk/beg. I can't imagine what it must be like for him; riding the link bus every night, busking, drinking... Why are humans such fools?

I know what you mean! How can they possibly think it is a triology when there are six parts??
