h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...but we talked quite a bit during the summer of 2002. My name is aonemantidalwave and we were talking before I went to Sri Lanka to be a journalist. If you don't remember me it doesn't matter but I wanted to say Hi!

Of course I remember you. It's been a while, that's for sure! It's good to have you back. Hell, it's great to have it back! How are you, enjoy your time in Sri Lanka?

Man, it was a blast!
Got into many a scrape, upset the minister of defence! Met the President and the Prime minister. Danced naked on a beach! Now I'm home (have been for the best psrt of a year) and am working on a TV pilot with my best mate. All is well.
And how are you my dear?!

Stick around.

Crikey, you've done it all, pretty much. What could I possibly say in response, apart from 'you lucky f*ck'... It's great to have you back.

I'm fine. Probably sunburnt, but apart from that, I'm pretty damn great (which makes a change)

I'm not disappearing really, just giving up on certain people here. I'm supposed to be spending every hour working, but I've always been good at procrastinating, so why stop now? Anyway, I now have a reason to stay on g2...

...and what reason is that my dear?

I'm at work at the mo, bored pooless!
If you are about, give me a shout!

You of course! It certainly isn't because I'm held in high regard around here...

Wasn't around when you asked. I was busy having the worst day of my life... well, the worst I've had in a while anyway.

Well my dear, i hold you in high regard thats for sure!
And don't worry about these H2 snobs, most of them don't have much time for me either.

...so why was your day so shit?
Are you ever around in the days or are you always at school/college/work?

Oh-and by the way, I like the Nine Inch Nails quote you have for your ident. I used to love the Nails!!!

Me again!

What does the R the G and the W stand for in your ident?

Natalie,
Boo-Hoo!
We obviously don't share the same H2G2 hours!
Fear not, we can still communicate via monologue!
I had a look at your website earlier, now I know what you look like!

Crikey, looks like I have a lot of replying to do...

Reply no 1: My day was terrible because I was forced to sew up a ripped skirt in the toilets, whilst listening to a bulimic making herself sick in the cubicle next to me. I was then nearly run over. Terrific.
I'm never around much during the day, and I rarely stick around for too long on g2 anyway, I log on, reply, then log off. Pretty simple, but I find it effective.

Reply no 2: You like NIN? Now I shall have to marry you!
Ah, how I love Mister Reznor, although I may be his only female fan who doesn't wish to rip his clothes off. 'hem. Anyway. I like Johnny Cash, and the cover he did of Hurt was mindblowing, dare I say it, better than Reznor's...

Reply no 3: Ah, RGW. Well, when I first arrived on g2 I was alarmed to discover that I would need to come up with a name for myself. I thought I would sound tremendously witty when I came up with the name Researcher Gone Wrong. Later I realised it just made me sound like I'd been dropped on the head as a child. I shortened it to the initials. At some point I was 'formerly Eric from Swindon' which led to wide spread confusion, and several offers of dates from someone called Beryl. (Actually, I made the last part up... she only asked once)

Reply no 4: Ha ha! Normally I look nothing like that (at least I don't think I do). I tend not to smile as much. Plus I rarely have Hannibal Lecter looming over my shoulder (But I'd be a happier person if I did.) I seem to change in every photo that's taken. Hm, is that site still working? I thought they would have closed it down due to inactivity...

Helloooooooooo Nurse!
Thank you for your in depth replys!
Sorry, it sounds like I'm part of the Spanish Inquistion!
Yeah, I used to love NIN, still like them (LOVE Johnny Cash, his Hurt is better than the Nails'), saw them live in '94 on the Downward Spiral tour, bloody marvellous!
My day yesterday was a real turdburger, hopefully today will be better.
Anyway honey, I will write somethign else when it pops into my dome.

Erk, my posting was moderated. Don't worry, I didn't say anything terrible, it would appear that something I said came out the wrong way. Ah dear, I hope you didn't report it. Twould be rather embarassing. Alas alack alan.

In summary, I resent you for having seen NIN live aaand my weekend was dull.

Noticed you've been absent from g2, hope all's well.

Ciao,

Natalie
