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

Where has Jade been?

Jade has been doing many things, but mostly said things consist of seeing Pirates of the Carribean eight times (And thus very slowly making my transition into my newly chosen "Pirating" major... ha.) and working. A lot.

Interesting things have been happening though, to be sure.

I spent three days in Torrington, Wyoming, for example. That was a deffinate adventure. I was without coffee for a whole three days, and therefore not too pleasant, I'd assume. I'm not taking complete blame for that though, because it en't my fault that they don't believe in leaving the coffee shop opened on Sundays in podunk Wyoming towns. (Damn their eyes...)

Directly before the Wyoming trip I triped and sprained my ankle at work. That sucked pretty bad. I had apparently forgotten how much work it was hobbling about on crutches, and it made hiking up Scott's Bluff (In Scottsbluff, Nebraska,) a bit painful, but Supposedly it's better now, and If nothing else I am definately wearing my five-inch platform boots, so /yes/, that's all right then.

Recently at work (For those of you who either don't remember or don't know, I work at a water park appropriately named "Water World.") it was interesting, both because of my sprained ankle and because we had a very large conglomeration of homosexuals in the park. Some bar in downtown Denver decided to sponsor a "Gay Day" and bought about six hundred someodd consignment tickets. It was a great day. Men in purple speedos, and general merriment. The only setback was that some christian groups that were in the park that day were a little testy about it, and complained. It was for this reason I told some uppity lady exactly where she could hang herself with our crappy toilet paper in the west restrooms. (Needless to say I got into a bit of trouble for that, but my boss laughed, so it was all sorts of kosher.)

That's all for now, as I have class. Oh yes, school has started again, so I ought to be on with more frequency, but I'm not going to promise anything. At least not yet.

Take what ye can, mates, and give nothin' back,

You sure have an interesting time with things, don't you?

"Water World"... Hmm I'd have never thought of that one

Good to hear from you again anyway ...


Hows the new quest going Mystrunner?

Well, it's not, really. Haven't got time for it, yet. Maybe later...?

...All I can say about that is interesting times make for interesting stories.

Incadentally, did you know that "May you live in interesting times" is a very /very/ seriously searing Japanese insult?

(Ye learn something new every day...)

-Jadie

Oh yes, I heard about that through another route. Terry Pratchett.

It's because, the Japanese way of life used to be so regimented that to live in interesting times was the worst fate that could befall one, as it would totally disrupt routine.

*nods* Yup yup yup.

Indeedy.

-Jade

Though some disruption now and then's quite nice, I find..:-

I agree wholeheartedly.
