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

that's very scary! maybe they nicked your name? you should go to their space and leave them a wee note.

Apparently their real name is Kaz, so it would be a bit mean to do that.
Mind you, I have been here longer. *evil laugh*
I dunno, maybe I should just add something to my name, so everyone knows I'm a different Kaz.

well it's still not fair that you'd have to go change your name coz someone else came along with your name.

maybe if you added "the one and only" or something after it?

good idea.

well you'll have to let me know if you get any response.

i hope no-one else has my name. too many people already have my real name. don't really want to get confused with someone else online too.

No. That would just be extra extra confusing!

true. it's so confusing anyway when you're standing in a crowded room and all you hear is someone saying your name. and you can't even figure out who it is or if they're talking to you.

would just get too weird here too.

yeah.

What I find extra strange is when you think you've heard someone say your name and you actually haven't.

i've had that too. esp scary when there's no-one else around.

weird.

Have you been watching that sea of souls thing recently?

i haven't actually. is it good? what's it about?

Its about this research centre that investigates cases in the paranormal. This week they were looking into a case where this teenage girl had been possessed by the poltergeist of a friend of the family. It was weird, but good. Bill Paterson's in it and so is lexie, you know-from monarch of the glen.

I'd like to know who wrote the script cos its v. good. will definetly keep me entertained til waking the dead returns.

lexie's in a paranormal tv show? now that is weird.

sounds interesting though. poltergeists sound scary. there's an old ruined castle a few miles from where i live that's supposed to have a poltergeist in it. not really sure if it's true though.

Oooh, weird!
Do you actually believe in ghosts?

don't really think ghosts are real. think weird stuff does happen that maybe can't be explained, but not too sure on the idea of ghosts. would have to be convinced. what about you?

Dunno really. I've never really had any paranormal type experiences, so I suppose I'd have to see a ghost or something to believe in them absolutely. It would be interesting if they did exist though.

yeah it would be interesting if it was discovered that they were actually real. all the pictures i've seen have a blob that could be anything. tricks of the light, or dust on the lens or anything.

do you think they'll ever be able to prove anything either way?

I dunno. Nine times out of ten its someone's word that holds it all together. If there was another witness to back them up I think things might be different, maybe they would be able to prove that ghosts really did exist. But if its just always one person, then they can just say that it was their imagination all the time.

yeah. strange that ghosts never seem to show up when there's a party going on. then they say they're shy or something. if you're alone your imagination tends to go a bit mad anyway, right?

Yeah. But I suppose on the other hand, ghosts would only appear to those who have a connection with them, like in Truly Madly Deeply.
That is a good film. The only one of Anthony Minghella's I like, really.
Have you seen it?
