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

I know the movie you mean. I havent seen the third one yet. I'm waiting to find out if things work out between Will and Elizabeth. How was the resturant? I dont generally like seafood as a rule.

I read an article about Rowan Atkinson today I didnt learn very much about him, but enjoyed it none the less. It was a nice way to pass the time during lunch.

I'll check my email, but you may be right. But now that I'm back its not as terribly important.

I did get your offline message. I'm doing quite well. Today was rather dull, but thats alright. At least that means it wasnt terrible. Tomorrow is going to be busy and Thursday is going to be a long trial.

How are things going for you? Anything new? Are you getting ready for school this September?

>>know the movie you mean. I havent seen the third one yet. I'm waiting to find out if things work out between Will and Elizabeth.>>

Ooh so no spoilers from me then?

We didn't go to that resturant in the end...to be honest we couldn't tell what a few things on the menu were, and it seemed like we'd have to really dress smartly- which was a bit more formal then we were intending. Anyway we decided to go out next month for mum's birthday instead.

I'm glad wednesday was alright, if dull. What is/was going to make today such a trial?

Things with me are good. No school plans yet, (I know! Another year and none.) but I've volunteered at the local cat shelter and went down today and did some cleaning. Glamorous eh?

But it was ok. The reason I wanted to do it was that I'd have to turn up somewhere on time and do a specific job- whether I felt like it or not. Y'know a commitment, but not as daunting as joining up to a year of school or a propper job. Went as I expected it to; did the chores with no real problems, saw some sweet cats (and kittens), barely said a word to the people that worked there and felt utterly out of place...but then a year ago just setting foot in the doorway would have made me freeze up with fear. So, yah, not bad.

Peace

No. No spoilers for you... but maybe a few for me? If you dont mind?

I loathe fancy resturants. The fancier they are the less I like them. I prefer an informal setting. I find I like the food better and it makes me less uncomfortable. I hate being waited on, and the fact that they say thank you when they take my plate drives me nuts.

On Thursday nights I work at the market. It wasnt really that bad. I like it when my boss isnt there. She gets really really stressed out and being somewhat empathic I can really feel it. I know it sounds silly to say I'm empathic, but somehow I think I am. It makes things very difficult sometimes.

Don't worry about not having school plans. You'll go when you're ready for it. And when you do go I'll be here for you, for what its worth. I dont know about you but I always find it really helps to have a sympathetic listner who can occasionally give advise when you ask for it. Even if they cant really do anything, somehow just telling someone about it helps.

Good for your volunteering at a cat shelter! What a worthy cause. I dont think it matters what you do, someone would have to do that job to make the place work. I think volunteering is a wonderful idea. It will get you out at a certain time like you said, and theres somehow less pressure involved. I'm so proud of you! Amazing progress to think that you couldnt have done it a year ago Good for you

Don't worry about the people too much yet. I'm sure as you go on you'll get to know them and maybe even make friends I find it very difficult to be outgoing the first day I find. I'm already so nervous that adding one thing, like the worry of making friends, is just too much for me.

They say slow and steady wins the race. I dont know if thats true for a race, but I think its a good analogy for life. I think sometimes I take on too much, try to go too fast, or work too hard. It kills me. I know I should slow down. I think thats one of the things that appeals to me about buddhism. Live in the moment, meditate, look after yourself. I must try harder, but its hard to break habits... even if they're ones you dont like. I dont realize I'm doing it. My boss says I have to stop living in my head and live in my soul (or heart) place. I think she's right.

Why would you pay the library in chocolate money?

Hope all's well with you
Arisz

>>No. No spoilers for you... but maybe a few for me? If you dont mind?

Spoilers you say? Hmm *rubs hands together* d'you mean spoiler, spoilers that give away the whole plot? Or little bits of information to intrigue you? ...eiter way the film's so good I recomend you catch it when you can.

>>I hate being waited on, and the fact that they say thank you when they take my plate drives me nuts.

I've never had that happen to me...perhaps I don't go to enough fancy resturants! But really shouldn't *you* be thanking *them*?! Or I spose they could be thanking you for your custom and enjoyment of the meal?

>>I know it sounds silly to say I'm empathic, but somehow I think I am. It makes things very difficult sometimes.

Oh boy do I know what you mean! Have we talked about this before on here? I've had several occasions where someone I'm around has been stressed about something (something that I'm not aware of)...but I've picked that up unconsciously, and inexplicably become uptight too. It's only through talking afterwards that we've worked out who was uptight to begin with! Bad description, but that what you mean?

>>And when you do go I'll be here for you, for what its worth. I dont know about you but I always find it really helps to have a sympathetic listner who can occasionally give advise when you ask for it. Even if they cant really do anything, somehow just telling someone about it helps.

Thanks! And you're right a sympathetic ear can work wonders.

As for the cat shelter thing...thanks for the good vibes.I guess you're right- it does take time to get to know people. But I did come away feeling like the aquaintance who's tagged along with a bunch of friends- except I wasn't even aquainted with anyone! Still they were polite and friendly...just didn't have much in common with them.(Was the only one under 20 there.)Percevirance, I guess. But it is an uncomfortable feeling.

>>They say slow and steady wins the race. I dont know if thats true for a race, but I think its a good analogy for life.

How true. But for some reason that made me chuckkle!

>>I think sometimes I take on too much, try to go too fast, or work too hard... I think thats one of the things that appeals to me about buddhism. Live in the moment, meditate, look after yourself. I must try harder, but its hard to break habits... even if they're ones you dont like. I dont realize I'm doing it. My boss says I have to stop living in my head and live in my soul (or heart) place. I think she's right.

Yes. That's something I aim for also. And it can be very hard at times...tis so easy to get carried away with life and stuff. Personally I think it can be even harder since so much of modern lifestyle and culture is about rushing and getting everything instantaniously. I'm hoping the human race will mellow with age, and learn the value of sitting still as well as running. In the mean time we can do what we can to find a balance.

And, finally, the chocolate money. I was in the library with sister, we were gathering our money together to get a dvd out and I commented that the pound coin looked like a chocolate coin, at which she looked at me and said."I am not paying the library in chocolate money!" That's the story. *Shrug*

Untill the next post.
Peace

"Spoilers you say? Hmm *rubs hands together* d'you mean spoiler, spoilers that give away the whole plot? Or little bits of information to intrigue you? ...eiter way the film's so good I recomend you catch it when you can."
Well... I dont know. Everyone tells me its so good but I really dont want to invest any more time and energy into it until I found out how it turns out

"I've never had that happen to me...perhaps I don't go to enough fancy resturants! But really shouldn't *you* be thanking *them*?! Or I spose they could be thanking you for your custom and enjoyment of the meal?"
If you've never had it happen to you I consider you to be extremely lucky. I know they're just trying to provide exemplary customer service or whatever... But it annoys me. I cant imagine that they're really glad to take my plate...

"Oh boy do I know what you mean! Have we talked about this before on here?"
I think we may well have. Its hard to remember, and even if I have I always feel that people arent going to beleive me.

"I've had several occasions where someone I'm around has been stressed about something (something that I'm not aware of)...but I've picked that up unconsciously, and inexplicably become uptight too. It's only through talking afterwards that we've worked out who was uptight to begin with! Bad description, but that what you mean?"
I know exactly what you mean. Its so hard. Someone was getting angry at me the other day at work, and they were really stressed. I could feel it washing over me, sort of taking over... Until I realized it wasnt my emotion and then I tried to imagine putting up my mental sheilds like they always talk about in star trek.

"Thanks! And you're right a sympathetic ear can work wonders."
It truely can. And I really mean it, I dont care how silly or small it sounds either. Its funny, but sometimes I think that small things annoy/hurt me the most. You know? And then I only feel worse because I think its such a small thing it shouldnt bother me.

"As for the cat shelter thing...thanks for the good vibes. I guess you're right- it does take time to get to know people. But I did come away feeling like the aquaintance who's tagged along with a bunch of friends- except I wasn't even aquainted with anyone!

Good, I'm glad they seem nice. I try to ignore age. Where I work everyone is tons older than me. Not just the residents of the place but the people I work with are pretty much all retirement age and above. Really you know, no matter how old people really are they all seem to feel young at heart. I dont usually feel left out because of their age, if I am left out its because I'm not the head of any sort of department or because I'm not an old friend they've worked with for years.

>>They say slow and steady wins the race. I dont know if thats true for a race, but I think its a good analogy for life.
"How true. But for some reason that made me chuckkle!"
Good! Theres nothing better than a good laugh! ...Or a good chuckkle for that matter

"Yes. That's something I aim for also. And it can be very hard at times...tis so easy to get carried away with life and stuff.

I'm with you Peace. Our lifestyles all seem so terribly out of balance. It almost seems that there is no value seen in things that we really need: rest, relaxation, expressing our artistic side...
It also bothers me that it all seems set up in such a way that really you're just not allowed to get sick. You really cant take time off of somethings, and the things you can take time off of... Well I feel like I'm being lazy or something if I do. I always ask mysself is it /really/ bad enough to warrant staying home? I'll probably be dying and asking myself the same thing.

"And, finally, the chocolate money.

That's the story. *Shrug*"
And a nice story it is too. I've never seen a pound coin. Read about them alot in books, but never seen one.
Have you noticed that chocolate coins seem to be made of some kind of inferior chocolate and arent erally all that tasty?

Talk to you soon
Arisz

>>Everyone tells me its so good but I really dont want to invest any more time and energy into it until I found out how it turns out.<<
~~Well Elizabeth and Will get together. It's very sweet- at the end Will does have to leave for a while, but we know he's coming back. Strangely there is also a kid in the credits identified as Will and Elizebeth's son. But there's nothing in the film about that so I think it's just a hint.
~~Jack didn't die, and for a time contemplates the idea of becoming the captain of the Dutchman and thus becomeing immortal, then ditches the idea to save Will and drink rum.
~~Will saves his father.
~~Barbossa beomes a good guy, then a bad guy, then a good guy then a...you get the idea.
~~Oh! And Elizabeth becomes the Pirate king!

That enough spoilers for ya?

Oh! By the way have you heared about the tea party hootoo's having for the Italics? It's starting tomorrow 8 or 10:00 GMT but they say it might go on for ages. Just thought I'd tell you, I should have said before if I was going to mention it at all really...

Aww well I for one believe you!

I know it's so silly. I always hate having to make descitions like that because I just become so indescisive.

>>Have you noticed that chocolate coins seem to be made of some kind of inferior chocolate and arent erally all that tasty?<<
Hm yes I jave noticed they taste differnt, although I quite like them. I think it's because we always used to get them at Christmas in our stockings - so to me they taste Christmassy!

You've never seem a pound coin? Well they look something like this...http://www.wolaver.org/Vacation/England/Pound.gif
http://www.therundown.co.uk/images/a/a1114864338.jpg
But then I've never seen a Canadian Dollar so...*winces* (I do have the right currency don't I?)

Take care
Peace

Peace, you are an absolute gem! All of those spoilers are exactly what I needed to hear. I will now rush to see the movie at the earliest possible time. No one else would believe me, so thank you for helping out

I didnt hear about the tea party! Thank you for letting me know. I think I'm much much too late now though. I took a look and it didnt seem to be a big hit with the itallics. I found that really dissapointing. I only saw one that showed up and then she only posted about 3 times. I mean there are quite a few itallics aren't there?

>>I'm with you Peace. Our lifestyles all seem so terribly out of balance. It almost seems that there is no value seen in things that we really need: rest, relaxation, expressing our artistic side...

"I know it's so silly. I always hate having to make descitions like that because I just become so indescisive."
I know I just want someone to say to me Arisz you cannot go to work today you are far too ill. It never happens though. Well thats not totally true. On my last few days of work I had a terrible cold and one morning I got up and was getting ready for work and feeling miserable and my mom told me I was to call my dad. He very kindly told me that I really shouldnt go to work and that I needed to just call in sick. I mean the ball was still in my court really, but it took alot of the weight off my shoulders.

>>Have you noticed that chocolate coins seem to be made of some kind of inferior chocolate and arent erally all that tasty?<<
"Hm yes I jave noticed they taste differnt, although I quite like them. I think it's because we always used to get them at Christmas in our stockings - so to me they taste Christmassy!"
Ah, I understand completely! I've never really been given chocolate coins... But I'm sure there is some other terrible candy that I eat because of the memories. I just cant think of one right now.

Thanks for the picture of the pound coin. You were right, we have the Canadian dollar. I wish ours had a fancy name, it would be more interesting. Our one dollar coin is called a loonie and theres a picture of it here. Its the one on the bottom. The only picture I could find that had both sides was this one. The coin on the top is the toonie and its worth two dollars.
http://www.globalclassroom.org/2004/spicer/loonie_toonie2013.jpg

Speaking of money... The canadian dollar is doing very well in comparison with the US. Its very exciting, it hasnt been like this... as long as I can remember. Which means I can order things of amason.com. amazon.ca is good... but its only books, movies and music. No posters or T-Shirts, and .com has a wider selection.

Well off to have a shower. I'm freezing! I dont know why its so cold in my room!

Ah! Just found you post...must have gotten hidden under the humongous pile of backlog I've collected. A few months ago I had a spree of subscribing to things and I still haven't felt like unsubbing from anything just yet- not that I read most of it!

"Peace, you are an absolute gem! All of those spoilers are exactly what I needed to hear. I will now rush to see the movie at the earliest possible time. No one else would believe me, so thank you for helping out"

Why thank you!I'm glad I could help. What wouldn't they believe?

Now the tea party...I attended briefly, and then dissapeared- as I am wont to do- since I didn't have an awful lot to say for myself. Two Italics dropped by in the end - Antelia and Derek. I'm not sure how many Italics there are,(isn't it about four or five? I got confused after Jimster left.)but I think they can get busy...so *shrug*. Well,it was a good idea, and it was nice to see something arranged representing the community of hootoo, spreading a bit of community spirit and all that...

I think there were a few peple who heard about it vaguely, but forgot about it soon afterwards, or else never got around to signing the join up thread, and so felt even less incilned to bust in once things had started. Shame really. The only reason I knew about it at all was though reading an editorial in the post which mentioned it.

"I know I just want someone to say to me Arisz you cannot go to work today you are far too ill. It never happens though. Well thats not totally true. On my last few days of work I had a terrible cold and one morning I got up and was getting ready for work and feeling miserable and my mom told me I was to call my dad. He very kindly told me that I really shouldnt go to work and that I needed to just call in sick. I mean the ball was still in my court really, but it took alot of the weight off my shoulders."

I know. Sometimes you just need confermation... as if, somehow, you might be mistaken about how ill you feel...or how your quality of work will be affected by it.

Just being told that; Yes, you probably are as ill as you think you are, and Yes; taking the day off would be appropriate... can be an amazing relief. Although, it can get frustrating someone can't get the hang of that particular quirk of human nature. Whenever I get ill and I tell my mum I don't know what to do about it she always gets highly irritated...she does make suggestions to try and help, but at the same time treats me as if I'm being really silly and wasting her time...and whenever I start to arrive at a desicion she will point out all the negative points of that scenario. It would seem that this has to do with the fact that she's an pretty descisive person and I am most definately not.

"You were right, we have the Canadian dollar. I wish ours had a fancy name, it would be more interesting. Our one dollar coin is called a loonie and theres a picture of it here. Its the one on the bottom. The only picture I could find that had both sides was this one. The coin on the top is the toonie and its worth two dollars."

Huh, they're actually pretty similar to the pound coins. Aside from the fact that the loonie has straight edges, and obvioulsy different markings...And the toonie is not that different to a two pound coin; http://www.theinvincibles.org/images/coins/twopound.jpg
Although I suupose they do both have the Queen on, which helps in the similarity department.
What do you mean by a fancy name?

"Speaking of money... The canadian dollar is doing very well in comparison with the US[...]Which means I can order things of amason.com. amazon.ca is good... but its only books, movies and music. No posters or T-Shirts, and .com has a wider selection."

Ah that is good, it's alays frustrating when you know there's something out there that you want to get, but can't get it because you're in the wrong place. What's it like to get stuff from Amazon anyway? I've never tried since I'm a little skittish about ordering stuff over the net.

Hope you're room's warmer today- it's boiling here!

Peace

“Ah! Just found you post...must have gotten hidden under the humongous pile of backlog I've collected. A few months ago I had a spree of subscribing to things and I still haven't felt like unsubbing from anything just yet- not that I read most of it!”
I understand completely. I have a tendency to do things in spurts. One minute I’m totally into something, subscribing to all kinds of posts, and then for no reason it seems I suddenly stop

"Peace, you are an absolute gem! All of those spoilers are exactly what I needed to hear. I will now rush to see the movie at the earliest possible time. No one else would believe me, so thank you for helping out"
“Why thank you!? I'm glad I could help.? What wouldn't they believe?”
They wouldn’t believe that I wouldn’t go watch the movie until someone told me what happened.

“Now the tea party...I attended briefly, and then disappeared- as I am wont to do- since I didn't have an awful lot to say for myself. Two Italics dropped by in the end - Antelia and Derek.”
Still seems rather disappointingly few. Honestly though I don't know how many there are... I feel like there's a lot of them somehow; I don't know why I think that. But you’re probably right. Maybe only four or five.

“I got confused after Jimster left.”
I didn't know that! When did that happen!

I totally forgot that we had a president.

“I think there were a few people who heard about it vaguely, but forgot about it soon afterwards, or else never got around to signing the join up thread, and so felt even less inclined to bust in once things had started. Shame really.”
Yes, it is. I understand though. I’m always reluctant to jump into a conversation that seems to be already underway.

“The only reason I knew about it at all was though reading an editorial in the post which mentioned it.”
I always mean to read the post and I never do. I should though. Of course I also mean to read the new articles on the front page, I never do that either though. Although today I did save a link to the one about vampires.

“I know. Sometimes you just need confermation... as if, somehow, you might be mistaken about how ill you feel...or how your quality of work will be affected by it.”
Thats it exactly! As if /you/ would be mistaken about how ill /you/ feel! Somehow though having someone acknowledge it brings it into reality or something. Like maybe it was all in your head before

“Whenever I get ill and I tell my mum I don't know what to do about it she always gets highly irritated...she does make suggestions to try and help, but at the same time treats me as if I'm being really silly and wasting her time”
It seems like I almost have the opposite problem. If I tell my mom I’m sick she immediately becomes very concerned and wants to know all my symptoms in great detail and then tries to convince me to go to the doctor. Really all I want is sympathy, somehow when I’m ill the last thing I want is to go over it in great detail.


“...and whenever I start to arrive at a decision she will point out all the negative points of that scenario.”
Isn't that annoying!! Parents have a tendency to be like that. You can always come to me, I’ll be honest, but I’ll try not to be too negative.

“It would seem that this has to do with the fact that she's an pretty decisive person and I am most definitely not.”
I think thats ok. It takes all kinds to make a world.
They say he who hesitates is lost, but they also say look before you leap. I suppose we really should have some sort of balance, but the more I try it the more I find balance impossible to achieve!

“Huh, they're actually pretty similar to the pound coins. Aside from the fact that the loonie has straight edges, and obviously different markings...And the toonie is not that different to a two pound coin; http://www.theinvincibles.org/images/coins/twopound.jpg
Although I suppose they do both have the Queen on, which helps in the similarity department.”
They actually are supprisingly similar.

“What do you mean by a fancy name?”
Well you dont have the dollar, you have the pound. There are so many countries that have the dollar (well the dollar of their country, but still). Its so common and boring.

“Ah that is good, it's alays frustrating when you know there's something out there that you want to get, but can't get it because you're in the wrong place. What's it like to get stuff from Amazon anyway? I've never tried since I'm a little skittish about ordering stuff over the net.”
Well I’ve never had any problems with amazon, I would happily recomend it. Its alot of fun to do, theres such a wide selection and I find theres a lot of things that I wouldnt be able to find in stores. I think I probably have peculiar tastes or something.

I’m going to order my birthday presents off amazon.com. Its so much easer to shop that way. I dont even have to leave the house, and this way I get what I want for my birthday rather than what my Mum thinks I want.

My house is freezing today. My dad turns the furnace off because its still suppose to be summer, or so he thinks. I suppose he’s trying to save money... But its so cold!
I hope your good weather lasts!

>>“I got confused after Jimster left.”
I didn't know that! When did that happen!<<
Ummm I think it was last december-ish......yep december 2006.

>>I totally forgot that we had a president.<<
Wouldn't it be odd if you could say the same for politicians.

>>I always mean to read the post and I never do. I should though. Of course I also mean to read the new articles on the front page, I never do that either though. Although today I did save a link to the one about vampires.<<
To be honest I rarely read all of the post at the moment, just bits here and there when the latest one comes out. I try to read at least one of the articles on the front page whenever I come on the internet...mind I can aford to seeing as I'm not doing a great deal else with my time atm. Plus it feeds my brain to read something other than posts on inetrnet role-playing sites. I still want to contrubute *something* to hootoo, be it to the post or to the guide...but something always gets in the way- lack of time... inspiration... confidence...

>>Thats it exactly! As if /you/ would be mistaken about how ill /you/ feel! Somehow though having someone acknowledge it brings it into reality or something. Like maybe it was all in your head before.<<
Y'know people always laugh when I tell them that, but I swear they'd rather you were insecure about taking time out due to illness, rather than descisive. It's a conspiracy I tell you!

>>“...and whenever I start to arrive at a decision she will point out all the negative points of that scenario.”

Alas, the sky is grey today.

Hope things are well with you.

“Ummm I think it was last december-ish...? ...yep december 2006.”
Wow. Suddenly everything seems so strange....

? >>I totally forgot that we had a president.<<
“? Wouldn't it be odd if you could say the same for politicians.”
It would be so strange, and everyone would think you were really stupid or something. Although really, I have to admit I don’t think much about the Prime Minister.

“To be honest I rarely read all of the post at the moment, just bits here and there when the latest one comes out.”
Which parts do you read?

“I still want to contrubute *something* to hootoo, be it to the post or to the guide...but something always gets in the way- lack of time... inspiration... confidence...”
Well I’m not the best person to talk to about that really. As they say, I got burned once and I learned my lesson. Although I have to say most people seem to do it most successfully. Though I do sometimes think that I should give it another go.

“Y'know people always laugh when I tell them that, but I swear they'd rather you were insecure about taking time out due to illness, rather than descisive. It's a conspiracy I tell you!”
It is a conspiracy!!! I have a word of advise, don’t go to work, trying to show how contientious you are, and then tell them you don’t feel well expecting them to tell you that if you’re ill you should go home. It doesn’t work at all! The only thing that you get is people avoiding your because they know you’re sick.

>>Isn't that annoying!! Parents have a tendency to be like that. You can always come to me, I’ll be honest, but I’ll try not to be too negative. <<
“Awww thanks, and the same to you!”
Thank you

“Hm, I think the word is eclectic.”
Yes, I think that describes my tastes rather well. I like that word

Have you ever listened to “Just a Minute” on BBC Radio 4? I discovered it completely by accident. I had downloaded Eddie Izzard things, as I think he is hilarious and love to listen to him. It turns out one of the things I had downloaded was Eddie Izzard on Just a Minute and it was hilarious! I’m so happy I can listen to it on the internet. Makes life worth living. My english class was cancelled this afternoon so no discussion of the Bible for me today. So when I saw it was cancelled I decided to come post on hootoo and listen to just a minute. I thin people think I’m crazy. Sitting here smiling away to myself. Really sometimes its quite difficult not to laugh!!!

Take care,
Arisz
