Etdlahq Memorial Bar - your shelter from forum crashes

Glad to hear you were able to get some things off of your chest. Always happy to hear someone else's feeling better.

And... yeah, okay, I can admit maybe I share a little too much. :wink: But sometimes you gotta let things out, you know?

Speaking of, I wish I had more time to write about the issues swirling around me, but alas. 'Tis not meant to be today.

I'm at my GF's house, and after having a 3+ hour nap I'm wide awake, and she's not at all. ...Wait, do I need to have my trousers on to be in the bar?
:surprise:
:spy:
:point:
:rolf:
Um, I'll be back when I'm decent...
 
Hehe, don't mind me. You know I'm just kidding. :) I enjoy reading your walls of text. :D

Is that a Death's Web in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?
 
or a cracked cap?

Har.

Ok. Due to mominem's decision to have a dinner that I can't eat (for the third time in the last 7 days, are they hinting at something? too bad), I'm off to the pub. Yep. ~6 pints and a big salad= teh YUM!

So keep a Long Hammer on ice for me! I'll be back in 5 or 6 hours for it. :D

Cheers! :guiness:

Edit: Jeez! 5 hours and nobody else in the bar?!?!?!1!? Ok. I'll help myself to a Long Hammer, thanks.

Had a nice chat in the pub with a young fellow about Hegel. . . random. His understanding of Hegel was just fine (as far as I understand Hegel), but he kept saying he didn't understand Hegel (which goes to show something about the education system in the United States). Good times. Perhaps he had/has a professor who has a specific interpretation of Hegel, or perhaps his and my personal and group-led readings were somehow lacking. Oh well. Still: Good times had by all, I'm sure.

Now it's off to either watch the telly or play some more with the GwE dr00d. Probably tele-watching and beer drinking, with the occasional chainsmoke break and some review of previous tournaments and final work on my own idea, and perhaps a thread-starting re my tourney idea.

But I'll probably just pound beer and stare blankly at the tele.

Cheers, empty bar! :guiness:

I enjoy reading the WoTs here. Someday I may make my own :P

I don't think you need to wear trousers in the Bar, I think that was proved in one of the 1359 pages (according to my forum settings), but don't ask me for a reference!

I had an amazing birthday. Thank you to all who sent their regards. I cried three times, once at the card my gf got me, once over a present she got me, and once after I'd spoken to my gran on the phone. I'm very emotional at the minute, though a lot of it is because I'm so happy. At the same time I'm scared I won't meet my college deadlines in time.
 
Yay! My birthday is tomorrow! And on wednesday I'm going to see a doctor about having my tonsils removed. Happy birthday Pijus :)

Took a quick look at my clock just now, and in my time zone it is allready my birthday (as of 6 minutes ago)
 
Happy Birthday, Pijus! And enjoy the tonsil removal :wink:

Ok. I'll have. . . um. . . a Long Hammer. Yum.

Momma's out with her friends for "craft night", and stepdad is out with some colleagues, so I've got the place to myself. Big honking chef salad? Yep, coming right up. 3 or 4 beers? Youbetcha. Staring Blankly at the Tele? Yep. Mahaps starting up a Charge Boltress? Um, who knows. Off to bed fairly early so I can get up early and be bright and shining for my interview? For sure.
 
It's a little too early to order beer, so give me a screwdriver!

45 hours to go, then the plane takes off and I'm heading to Madrid! I'm considering travelling naked, because it seems there's over +35C there. Phew, that's hot for me. The whole trip is going to be awesome. Actually, I kind of think that the trip starts today, because the friend who I'm travelling with, is coming to town today and we propably go to the bars tonight too :)

How are everyone? Screwdrivers are on me.
 
Hey, awesome! I know you've been looking forward to your trip for a long while now, so it's gotta be exciting knowing it's just around the corner. I hope you have a great time! Take lots of photos so when you get back we can live vicariously through you!

@JayGun: You may not see it before you head out, but good luck with your interview today! We're all rooting for you!

As for me, I've got my pants on again so no need to be uncomfortable. I won't get anything confused with a swizzle stick as I mix Neks' drink. I LOL'ed at Pijus' response. Heh, trouser titan. ...Where's kanonfuter to appreciate that joke?

<'Driver for Neks'>

Coffee, please. Four hours of work to go. I'm friggin' sick of everything going on here. Correction: I'm sick of everything that's been going on here for months. Depending on how the next couple weeks work out, I may not have to worry too much longer anyway...
 
Have fun in Madrid, Neksja! I, for one, am far too accustomed to bit more chilly climates. Going any southern than South France is painful for me. I even find the +22C here a bit too hot. :p

On that note, an ice cold frappé would be nice.
 
Pretty sure that drink will have warmed up now, Low Key. Best of luck jamiesixgun. It's a lousy time to be an interviewee.

I'm hiding from the Trade Profiles at the moment. After a while I don't SEE stuff and just make mistakes, so .. break time! I know they're useful but ... that's a DULL thing to update. I prefer a bit more creativity.

So I've got some strawberries and I think I will munch those while selling some CoX recipies that are cluttering up a character. Then go back to the profiles.

I'll have a tea please for now and a VERY large vodka for profile time. :D
 
Thyiad's at the Bar, and she wants to get drunk? Awesome...

So another 'day two of not drinking' has resulted in the impulse purchase of alcohol, for the third time in a row... :-( WTF is wrong with me?

Been invited to a dinner party this evening, so I'll take some along to that, as last time I was at the host's house I emptied their fridge of beer along with her boyfriend. Maybe we'll watch another sub-par 80s horror film? Fingers crossed.

Yet another reason to hate my house - Found out it may have a large amount of water damage around the entire foundations, an initial plumber has recommended hiring an industrial humidifier to run 24/7 for two weeks. I hope it's not noisy, I need my beauty sleep!

Played a bit of MP with Pijus. Would have liked to have played more but couldn't due to time constraints.
 
Thanks for the good luck wishes Thy, and it is indeed a lousy time to be an interviewee. And I've got a bottle of Sky on ice for you when it comes trade profile time! :wine:

On a good note, I didn't eff it up, so I should get a second interview in the coming weeks.

On a slightly less good note, I had prepared for 1) the job description and 2) the company and its apparent business. However, on arriving I found out that the company I prepared for is not really the company I am applying for, so I got a bit flustered. I had loads of questions all ready for them, but my questions were completely irrelevant. So I had a couple of moments where I struggled to respond and I sort of flubbed a couple of questions. I'd answer them better now, and have formulated some other, more relevant questions, but I'm now back at mominem's place. Oh well, that's what the second interview is for, yes? (I hope.)

Fingers crossed.

I'd love a beer or 37, but it's only 10:30 am here, and if I start drinking before the stepdad I'll get the old hairy eyeball from momma, so I guess I'll have an iced tea to tide me over until 2 or 3pm.
 
I'm sort of changing my attitude toward alcohol. I'm starting to think that you can drink, just don't get drunk everyday.

But I'm not starting :D
 
I've lost the will to live with the trade profiles.

No alcohol in the house, so I'll settle for the virtual stuff. Least I have chocky. :cloud9:
 
Haha - great bit of spamming. I'm sorry to hear about the enthralling work of updating trader profiles, Thy. :( Have a few drinks when time (and alcohol) permits.

Just about finished The Belgariad in rememberance of Mr. Eddings. A great series that I enjoyed as much on the second time through.
