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

Hiya! How are you? At least I've found you. Byt the way, if you are to change your name, do it quickly before people get to know you.

But anyway ,tongueout> welcome to the delights of hootoo. Hope you get as addicted as I am!

Hi! I'm doing good. And not tired at all. How're you?

I think I'm going to keep this name, it ain't so bad. Just the first thing I could think of.

The h2g2 sort of reminds me of this thing ---> http://www.everything2.com . Hü-II has more conversation and less article linking. But it's just as fascinating.

Did you read that article I mentioned in that last txtmsg btw? The 'tap' sounds kinda funny. I tried it on myself and it didn't work. Just a boring pressing sensation. Maybe I was doing a prod or a poke by mistake.

This house is freezing cold. And my legs have gone dead because I'm squatting with my knees in my armpits. I dare not stand up in fear of the terrible pins and needles!

I can't think of anything else to say right now.

Well, see you soon,

Steve

Oh dear! Nice to see you even slightly addicted. Knew you'd like it. As for me, I'll probably get kicked out of here in a couple of minutes so I can't talk long. hope you regain the feeling in your feet!

s, es, Smooch>es, etc,

(ah .. a face graphic .. how did you do those other ones?)

Mmm .. maybe you could hide under the desks or in the ceiling tiles or something ..

Or drill a hole in the wall and pop a cable through so you can sit just outside and use your laptop.

Just kidding. Best get some sleep.

Bye!

Just don't tempt me... I spend too much time here as it is.

Aye .. Was going on hü-II the first thing you did when you got back, like?

You know, I think I'm starting to get hooked on this thing. I have half an hour in which to write this project stuff I was rambling about this morning and here I am eating up time with h2g2. So addictive.

haha, you will never escape now, we have you on our folds...

Good, stuff, n'est pas? And yes, going on hootoo was the first thing I did. No, actually, I did go to my room, drop off my coat, and then head off to the computers. Oh dear...

Ah! I'm here at last! took bloody long enough and I'll get kicked out in half an hour

Hey hey .. good

It seems wierd having potentially thousands of people reading this conversation. Yet it feels sort of private too.

Yeah, deceptively so. It feels safe, but there are people who subscribe to a conversation without ever posting to it. There are a lot of lurkers on *that* conversation with Ben/Master B. You forget they're there. But hey, that's the way it goes.

Ha, yeah. I was lurking there a bit.

Made me feel like a stalker so I stopped. It seems so much like prying, when I could just ask you whatever instead!

True. I don't mind, you aren't the only one! Plus then I don't have to bother telling you or you asking, coz you know already. But do whatever you like.

What you doing after you're evicted from the room of computers?

Wow, pretty square. And I'm pleased with the apology. Very eloquent. I ought to do some counterpoint, but hopefull that shouldn't take toooooo long. why?

Now you confuse me once more. What is this 'counterpoint' of which you speak?

Sorry, music composition-type stuff. I'll show you if you want.

That'd be nice.

I haven't attempted it yet. It has to be in tomorrow. I'm tired, and there is whiskey waiting for me in my room. This does not sound promising. However, I do have a full stomach. Which is a novelty.

You could be a rebel and not hand it in at all. Pros: you get sleep and relaxation. Cons: none.

I can't- I have twi lectures with the same guy on the same day tomorrow. But I'm going to skip italian on Wed and sleep all day. I think I need it. Until them, sod sleep. I know I'm not going to function anyway.
