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

putting on makeup in the dark isn't easy...silly light bulb, shorted out the whole house and there aren't any spares

woohoo, school, first four periods off and I'm gonna try and woop coes ass at circuit breakers...he's a baby though, won't even attempt smackdown because he knows I'll beat him up

Whereas I'm just awful at putting on make up

I'm good with the little makeup I wear

boo
E

Boo to you too

ok

*comes in humming Bohemian Rapsidy...*

Hey Justin

how's everyone this fine starry evening?

*...I'm just a poor boy, from a poor family!...*

I'm fine thanks, but it's cloudy not starry outside

You?

I'm feeling okay, still a little frazzeled by the email - or lack there of - but no point miserating over it

Cloudy here too. Mind you, even if it wasn't I'd hardly be able to see the s... city lights, 'n' all that.

I love watching the stars and as I don't have a curtain on one of my windows I get a perfect view of them when I'm going to sleep

That's one of the things I love about getting away from the city (on the rare occasions that I do), beautiful clear skies at night. That and clean air, *much* less noise from traffic, more wildlife...

I just love them, love meteors and all that...and night when I can't sleep I can sit in the early hours and watch the bats

I think if I move to the city - which I am most likely to do...

*watches spider drop from her ceiling to her desk*

um...oh, if I move to the city the stars would be the one thing I'd truly miss.

You lucky so-and-so. Don't think I've ever seen a bat. One of the places I used to go to with one of the bands I used to play for, has loads of HouseMartins nesting under the eaves. I could watch them just coming and going for ages... not good when I was meant to be rehearsing though!

*finishes cutting her fringe*

Well I'm in the countryside so bats are just kinda there, there's this place in the west coast of Scotland called Caradale, when I was little my family (all of us, sisters, parents, grandparents, my uncle...the lot) anyway we used to go to the same house every summer, which we rented and there were woods and cliffs looking over to Ireland and stuff, but I always remember that it's the only place I've seen proper dragonflies and they were amazing.

I loved it there, could just sit on the beach - even in the cold and wet - and just stare out at Ireland, Eires rock (I think).

Sounds lovely! I think it was yesterday I saw a dragonfly, for the first time in ages, as I was walking through the woods at uni before coming home.

Can't find an Eires rock... if it's Ayres Rock, I think it's in Australia, allbeit renamed now...

well actually you look out to eire and there's a big rock so we just called it that it's probably got a proper name but I canny mind what they were at this time of night, I've been running on autopilot since about half past nine this morning

Fair do's

So were you *not* running on auto before 9:30 this morning?
