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

Hey!

Well... Guess what... I just noticed we didn't actually have any conversations running on the h2g2... Hm... Rather unusual... Well, OK, things have changed a bit since we were both in 4 or 5 forums... But still... I thought it wouldn't be too bad to have at least one forum going...

Hope you don't mind...

(Hm... Silly remark, wasn't it? )

There was something I wanted to tell you, as I'm likely to forget it otherwise...

I got ICQ2000a!!!

Well... Not that it's very important... It hasn't changed much, really, but you know that... It dropped half the people from my contact list and I spent half an hour recovering them... The look is a bit different... But that's about all that I can say from just looking at it waiting for... Well... You know what...

Anyway... I wonder if the chat's changed much... Well, naturally, there's absolutely no one online right now, now that I'd need them... I bet they'll all come and distract me once you're here...

Anyway... I wonder how long it will take you to notice this forum... I won't tell you it's here... Not for the first 2 or 3 days, anyway... *evil grin* We'll see...

Hm... Just another one-sided conversation, at least for now, I guess...

Well... The good thing is that we don't have to be online at the same time...

And *please* don't ask how this is better than email...

Well... I suppose I shall leave you for now...

Well... Not really... Just finish this post... If I don't, it'd be hard for you to reply once you come...

See you then...

PP

...Oops... I think I overdid with the smileys... The post looks a little yellow, doesn't it?

Hm... It's beginning to work out... Talking on the h2g2, I mean...

A short time after I started this thread, DD posted to the 10th weekly update... And if I know your NRS well enough, that'll be the second forum in which we'll talk...

Hm... You don't seem to have got the SMSs I sent you... I wonder if/when you'll come today...

Hm... I wonder just how often I can reply to myself...

I'm sure you could keep it up all day...

I should think so, too...

Only it's much more fun when you reply...

Anyway, I'm amazed that you spotted the forum at once... Who knows how long it would have taken *me*...

Oh well... You have the chance to practice these things more often...

Anyway...

Er...

I wish I hadn't forgotten what I wanted to say...

I'm sure I'll remember... Sooner or later...

I think I only noticed after you'd pointed out that DD had replied to WU #10... I thought you meant this...

I'd noticed WU#10 long before you mentioned it...I just had to wait for it too load...

Ah... Well, you were bound to notice it come up, after all... It's a good thing new forums appear on the top of the list...

And, BTW, if you're wondering how I'm posting at this time of day, I'm at school right now... Yes... With a *lot* of people standing all around me who try to figure out what h2g2 actually means and what the site is all about...

Hm... I wonder if there will be many typos... In fact, I'm trying to hide what I've typed up to now by shrinking the browser window so they can't read it... The problem is that I can't read it as well...

Oh well... You'll have to put up with me...

I don't have too much time, in fact... But I suppose you could guess that...

Well... See you...

Yes...you said in your mail that you'd been here & posted whilst in school...and I'd read that first so i knew this was here before I even saw it...

Hello, hope neither of you mind if i just butt in... well, Vicki doesn't... (that's the impression I got )
(It's Carol, if you were wondering.)
I'm just trying out this, leaving a trace of myself... there may be other traces. I don't know.

I'd never mind...there's nowhere you can't butt into here...

and of course i know it's you...

have you thought about giveing yourself a nickname...or were you just planning on staying as R124402 for now...?

Hm... Well, there was DE who kept his R-some-number-or-other nick for quite some time...

But I don't suppose you'll be doing this...

Sure we don't mind you butting in... As Vicki said, you can post to any forum around here, and no one will mind...

Well, so how are the two of you today?

...had to turn up for the year photo today...only it wasn't on...it's been postponed...

Hm... I wonder if that's good or bad... Well, you haven't had to have it done, but you still have to do it...

Ah...well...lucky us get's to have the photo taken at the leavers ball instead...

So we still have to get it...& it'll be pretty hard to avoid...

Oh well... I agree it'll be hard to avoid... But then again... I'm not sure it would be good to try to avoid it... After all, it's your last photo as a class...

Anyway...

I just realised my one & only guide entry has been approved!!!

Hm... OK, so it has been for 4 days, but I hadn't noticed...

Hm... Well, well, well... A rate of 100% of approved entries isn't too bad...

Congratulations!
I will go & read that now...
As for our year photo, I doubt that it will ever happen... It didn't at the leaver's ball, anyway. Not that that would have been a very good photo...

I think I read the guide entry about 5 days after it'd been written...I think that was as soon as I noticed it actually... So...if anythings been changed since then I wouldn't know...perhaps I should check...?

The year photo...yes...I doubt it'l happen now...

It would have been pretty bad...yes...worse than that...

Hmm...some people had, had a bit too much...to the extent of not being able to understand when they try & take my drink off me & insist that it's theirs...

Oh well...

Aww... You've read it?

Well, OK, so I shouldn't be too surprised at that, as I've read all of your entries, as well...

Well, in fact I did change something...

Joolsee had left a post complaining that I had spelt "cartesian" as "carthesian"... Well, I'm sure I've seen both versions... But I changed it for his sake... At least in the non-approved entry... I can't change the approved one, as I'm not it's editor...

Now that I think of it, there are some changes made... Mainly to the layout, though... The content's exactly the same, only a little abridged at the beginning... Nothing *really* worth to be looked at...

Hm... Most of the people were drunk, you say?

(Yes... I know you didn't say that... I'm just putting what you said in clear words... )

Is this bad? I mean, there was a saying in Ancient Rome... "In Vino Veritas"... "In the wine is the truth"... I suppose it would have just showed their "real" personalities on the photo...

Well... Perhaps not...

But it would have been funny...

Ah yes...I saw that post too...

And the drunkeness was alright...it was just a little scary trying to persuade her that it was *my* drink...not hers... She pushed me afterwards when she walked away too...grr... Well...at least I kept her off my drink...
