Hello,
I was randomly reading user spaces and noticed your journal. That being said, I just had to ask...What would unbore you?

I do seem to recall having some fun with the text adventure game that it took me a year to solve.

Raar, Shagbark.

Fun, it was. Insulting, as is the game's design (Douglas is recorded as saying so himself) but fun.

I've heard that practice makes perfect...
It would stand to reason that by now there would be a lot of things at which I should be perfect. Sadly, that isn't the case.

anyone who has seen me play chess would know that practice does not make perfect

Well there you are! Practice /does/ make perfect - you're just very good at losing.

Evangeline Posted Jul 30, 2003
Apparently, I'm trying to be perfect at a lot of things. I just wish one of them was winning large lottery jackpots...

That's good .
When I'm bored I tend to hang around the campsite or ask h2g2 threads.

Sometimes I'm too bored to be bothered to type though, which is a problem in that case.

Evangeline Posted Aug 3, 2003
I'd suggest voice typing except Dragon Naturally Speaking hasn't quite gotten my accent worked out yet
. I have to enter almost every other word into the "dictionary".
