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

You say that only because you believe I should have scored higher

Just hide all pointed objects Hmmm, I wonder if it's possible to create a Mafia within the rules of Monopoly Would certainly make the game more interesting...

And what brought this revelation?

It's not a belief- it's a truth. There are many other, far subtler, indications of geekness which the test didn't take into account.

Lol, the whole point of the Mafia is that they work outside of the rules anyway....

I was playing with Cindy, and I beat her every time.

TK[1]

I'll take that as a compliment

I've a funny feeling other players might not be too happy about you starting up a monopoly mafia, though... ["give me the money or the top hat gets it..."]

Is that an achievement?

You do that, babe

That's soprt of the whole point of the mafia, as well...

Welll... she's the same age as you, but not typically 17... she goes off in another direction to you, though.

TK[1]

Best thing to do, I'd say

Yeah, but some poeple just don't thave a sense of fun. I once attempted to start a world war in a geography game at school. It didn't work out very well.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Do you realise next month is this conversation's 2nd birthday?

It's always a compliment, and you know it.

I got told off for cheating in a geography lesson when we were playing a scenario in Sim City to demonstrate how difficult balancing money was in terms of police, fire and other such things, and I completed the scenario. Geography was certainly a humourless place.

Depends on your point of view...

Awww... means I've known you two years... is that all? Seems like a lifetime, at the same time as feeling like I only met you yesterday...

TK[1]

You're very complimentary. Like a pair of black trousers.

Thre certainly is plenty of love lost in geography lessons. They need to lighten up. My geography teacher denied global warming existed, which was worrying

What would the best point of view be, in that case?

I suddenly feel old...! Certainly doesn't seem possible. Gawd, I was only 15. Technicaly, I've known of you for longer, because of Em, it was just the first time we spoke mano a mano, so to speak

I'm sure....

I say (to a friend) "I'm not going to use this [free revision] session to revise plate tectonics because we've done it to death in Chemistry. There's plenty more I haven't got sorted, I'll look at [X] instead."
Geography teacher screeches at me from across the classroom "What do you mean you don't need to revise? It's people like you that will fail everything blah blah scream scream rant moan rant"

Yout position is best. I find her rather... immature. Seems to believe that you can solve problems the way they do in films, and thinsg like that.

We didn't so much speak, as bang (our heads).
I suppose I've known you longer then, though only as a link in a friends list, though I wouldn't say that counts

TK[1]

Now that's just silly. Very silly. I hope you told him to get his blood pressure checked.

Wouldn't say it was the best approach to take, but I'm sure it's something that'll be grown out of...


Well, we'd no doubt shared conversation space before

Her... [Now, that explains it all...]

Hopefully.

But nothing which had actually involved direct and explicit conversation between ourselves. The "I like this person" button hadn't yet been pressed...

TK[1]

Her... it shouldn't, but suddenly it makes more sense In which case, what way my Geography teacher's excuse?

Hopefully indeed. Reality will hit soon enough. Was just thinking the other day, actually, is she going to be venturing off out to uni?


2 years yesterday We should have had a miniature celebration for the birth of this conversation

Who knows... what is /any/ teacher's excuse...?

I doubt it. She's capable, I have no doubt, but she's not being all that sensible with her A-levels.

[allthosesmileystoo]

Happy Two Years, babe

TK[1]

I don't know, but I'm thinking that soon I might be able to ask you that You better research it

Oh dear Not that sensible, how, might I ask?

It's been a hellova ride...

lol, hey, I won't be your bog-standard teacher

Just doesn't seem to know what she's doing, and wants it all handed on a plate.

Not yet, it hasn't....

TK[1]

I must admit, I can't help but envisage you as a guitar-slinging maths teacher.... The kind that all the little year 7s pretend not to have a crush on

Gah... Have you tried talking sense into her?

*rolls eyes* trust you

lol, well hormones can do the oddest things to growing kids.

She's 17 years old...... (present company excepted). If I happen to mention that I think she's possibly not going about things quite the right way, or if I question her however slightly at all, I'm in league with her parents and therefore hate her and want her to die horribly in a gutter somewhere.

Heeyyy! It's true! Despite what certain interested parties may have decided.

TK[1]

Awwwh...

Well obviously, I mean, who isn't out to destroy the life of your average 17 year old girl? ~shrugs~ I'm sure she'll grow out of it, and hopefully without too many scars

Fair enough

Hopefully. She's a decent enough kid, but she /is/ a kid and has funny ideas about what being an adult means, and if she's not careful she'll get herself stabbed.



TK[1]

I'm noticing a correlation to me laughing and you showing your indignance

Stabbed? Isn't that a little, erm, extreme?

Not really. For example, she's decided she wants to get a cigarette lighter in the shape of a gun so that she can threaten people with it if they attempt to mug her/ bully her.
