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

Yep, Oxford's down south. Actually on the Thames (except they call it the Isis, for reasons best known to themselves).

If you timed it to be there at a meet-up, that'd be great, as long as you could cope with a mad Glaswegian taking photos of you in the gents' toilets. I know it's still pie in the sky, though, so I won't go on about it.

Well, if I were there (as opposed to 'me' ) I'm a bit harder to get into the men's room... 'I' am much more portable than me...

(I think ignoring what was in the parentheses was a good idea... I put way too much stuff on your shoulders anyway, considering how little we know each other... that's why I sent the long whiny email to 2legs, as we're fairly close... If you're at all curious about it, I could have him forward it to you, as I didn't save it...)

Well, I've got to go... Time for the gym

Enjoy your workout. Failing that, meet someone and spend the whole time chatting.

*checks what was in the parentheses*

Oh, that. I didn't know what to say, so for some reason I ended up posting without saying anything.

I *did* get my workout done Saturday... It just took awhile... And then I didn't go home right away... Actually, I may have done more weights than usual, because I kept losing count and starting over... (I can listen and count, but it's hard to talk and count...)

And the inside-the-parenthesis stuff... Well, I don't know what to say either, except that I know I'm being stupid about it...

Well, I'm sure you'll be relieved to hear that I've learned I was being paranoid about it... (If for no other reason than I'll stop whining to you about it)

*waves*

How long has it been since I gave you a mufflewhump? Far too long, I'm sure... *leaves a mufflewhump*

*unburying thread*

Sorry, I'd have got to this thread sooner or later. I'm a bit behind at the moment. Thanks for the mufflewhump.

So, you believe Amy the Ant likes you now, then?

Well, we did exchange emails on the subject of her calling me this weekend... So I was wrong, OK? I admit it... If I ever do something like this again, remind me? Unless, of course, there's actual evidence...

Anyway, thanks for listening (again)...

So how are you doing? Figured out the commitee thing?

That's okay. A very Sherlockian request you have there; if Watson ever thought Holmes was being too conceited in his powers he was to whisper "Norbury" to him. In your case, I suppose the word is "Ant".

I don't know about the committee, all I know is that I should have voted yesterday, but failed. Trouble is nobody told me they wanted to be on any of the committees, so I didn't know who to vote for.

Well, it's not my conceit I want to be reminded of, it's my paranoia about friendships, and that I'm not a good people-reader...

So will you find out if you got voted in?

Yes, I know. I suppose it wasn't that good an analogy then.

Erm, probably. If they don't tell me then it's not my fault if I don't turn up to meetings, is it?

Oops, I knew I was forgetting something last week... I meant to tell you, since I'd dumped my anxieties upon you, that Amy and I had a nice talk last Saturday...

How're you doing?

Okay, I thought you must have.

I'm doing okay. Just wondering how many different fora you're going to manage to talk to me in.

You think this is bad, you should see some days between Ottox and I...

Want to add a phone call to the list of how we're talking tonight? You could wish Tom a belated happy birthday, and be the first h2g2er to speak on the phone to him (I mean other than me, of course... And other than passing hellos through me...)

Am I making any sense? I'm pretty sure I could handle verbal communication at this point, though... I think I'm tired enough to babble, so I might actually speak

Tink and I once managed it all over the place and on ICQ as well.

Didn't I phone last time? That makes it your turn. You might not get me tonight, though; it's the International students' dinner & dance. Tomorrow's the IVCF Christmas party, on Sunday, the Cahplain's having a dinner and on Monday the outdoor club are holding a pot-luck supper.

It's a hard life.

Aw, poor Baggy... Free food for four nights in a row

Actually, I don't work today... But I do have company, and maybe it'd be rude... At least with the computer in a central location like it is, I can talk with them while posting (now that I'm awake...) I could ask if they'd mind, but I know that Thomas (Tom's dad) wanted to go to the library (if it's open today) and use my card to check some stuff out... I doubt he could convince the librarian that he's Amy Pawloski

But if I do get a chance to call, when would be a good time (your time)? You wouldn't get to talk to Tom, though, probably, because he's at work, and won't be back until around 6...
