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

Argh, I did another blimmin double post!!!

I don't know how I managed it. It's one of those strange things that will sit there and nag you until you figure it out...



*I sit straight nicely, thank you. I have exquisite posture. *sniff* *I'm a good girl. *Probably a week to two. *shrug* Oh, well. *But I never directly stated that I knew what was going on. Besides, how can you tell me that I'm wrong when YOU don't know? *A chat...ha. *Only if you didn't put enough. When your eyes are burning you screw them shut, right? ********* (Bah.)

I love Debussy. So you said. Sounds absolutely lovely.

A nice song? *raiseseyebrows*

Probably. So, what's your opinion?

Yes, I know exactly how that is. I can't remember when I last did it, but I think I do those things rather frequently.

What's your preference, then?

*I'm not saying anything about your posture, but I've registered your general inability to sit still. *But isn't it boring? *Ah. Not too long to way, then. *You implied that you did, and lied when you said that 'it was about...'. I have a certain idea about what we've discussed. * *At first, yes. But after that, they open them again, and start crying. ********

Debussy's great, though I'll never be able to listen to Bolero in the same way again...

Yes? It's hard to tell how good it is by reading the lyrics, dear, so I moderate.

On mental illness?

I think I do, too. Probably some weird form of obsessive compulsive disorder. I did it this morning about a spider, actually.

Between BETA and VHS?

*Yes, okay. I can sit still sometimes. Just rarely sometimes. I was the person you always saw in church getting slapped because I couldn't stop fidgeting. *Oh, yeah. Which is why I am now covered in glorious glue. *Nope. Then report cards come home. *shudder* *But you assumed that I was saying I knew what we were talking about. What, then? And don't you dare read the backlog even if you already have. *Sort of fun, isn't it? *Then you dump more spices in.********** (Oooh, he gave up the side note.)

Hahaha, I really love Bolero, too. I can now say I like porn groove. Baaaahbahdadadadadotdadadaaaa...

It's fabulous. I'll see if I can't play it for you when the distortion isn't so terrible.

Yes.

I wouldn't say disorder, since I seem to have it. What did you do to the spider?

Yes.

*Well, there you have it. *I see... You really are incredible, you know that, right? *Oh dear. Do not remind me of those horrors. *You indirectly claimed you were, you lied nonetheless. Bathrobes. Huh, backlog? Me? *Well, it's all about finding the original problems... *Nope. One look is enough to stop me. ******* (I overlooked it, but I assume the 'bah' means I win)

Haven't you always liked porn groove?

Yes, that would be good.

Well, what about it?

Posh, then it's *definitely* a disorder! Found it?

Er...BETA has a certain nostalgia about it. They don't make machines that can fly out of an attic and hit a cement floor twenty feet below and not be damaged anymore. VHS is just...more convenient. I don't think I really have a preference because I'd buy everything on BETA if I could.

*Indeed, you do. *Why, because I can completely cover myself with glue in moments? *Haha, I shall. *Nope, you assumed that I was. Nope, lying would be a direct misrepresentation of the truth. (That's a good definition, Stacy-girl...) Sure, you know you can't keep what's in all of the asterisks in order. Then again, you probably can because you always know when I drop one. *I'm going to question what this one is about. I read backlog and tried to figure out where this one came from. Is this a direct attempt to confuzzle me? *raiseseyebrows* *So take their eyes out and then pour in spices.********** (Nope.)

Oh, daaahling.

Fun, fun.

Your opinion?

Well, you've got it too. Hmm, nothing worse?

I see. Cotton or wool?

*Hmmm... And what to say now, eh? *Yes. I find it not only impressive, but an incredible source of entertainment. *Damn. *No, you said that it was about something it wasn't about, so you lied. Yes, I can keep order, if I wish to. *It was about customer services, dear. *I'm not Uma Thurman, you know? ******* (Actually, I don't assume, I know.)

Hmmm... Now, _that_ sounds creepy.

Now, to figure out that firewall. How are you today, then?

I think I need a more specific problem. Mental illness is quite a wide subject.

Yes, but I'm not afraid to admit it. Nope, didn't even touch it.

Cotton all the way. You?

*I dunno. It's your turn to think of something. *That's what I'm for! *I got it today, actually. *shudder* *No, I didn't. If he wishes to. I don't think you realize how fun you are to poke at. *Ooooh, I understand. *No, you have more going for you than a skeleton.********* (Why?)

I do try.

Yes, the firewall. I'm pretty good. Being hopelessly lazy, however.

Yes, and now I don't even feel like discussing it.

As am I, so I claim it's not a disorder. Well, that sounds reasonable to me...

Cotton is better, because it doesn't make the skin itch, but I think we should use wool over here, since cotton has to be imported from really far-away places, and is therefore not very friendly to the environment.

*But I'm so tired. I'm trying to make myself revise for my exam, but I can't. *Indeed you are, or perhaps that's just an excuse? *How did it go? Did you pass? *Yes you did. Well, if It's fun, then why stop? *They're on holiday, damn them. *Thank god for that. ******* (You know, I think I stand a better chance of sealing this if I don't tell you. Read the backlog, dear.)

And you do succeed.

Damn that blasted thing! Good is good.

Well, what _do_ you feel like discussing?

I'll claim along with you then. It was a very pretty spider.

Wool doesn't really make my skin itch, but cotton's lighter. How is cotton not friendly to the environment if it's imported? We have hundreds of thousands of acres around here that are all cotton. This year, because of the drought and decrease in prices, they've cut the number of fields (thank god) and planted rejuvination crops. Cotton growing is absolutely detrimental to the ecosystem, but I do love it.

*Aww, my poor baboo. It's Thursday, right? *Ah, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. *I made an 80/100. *Did not. I'm not, of course. It's an ongoing-poking process. *They shall return, never fear. **titters********** (I'm not listening to you.)

Thank you!

Fireworks...

Hmmm, maybe...sausage!

Good! What sort of a spider was it?

Well, cotton that's transported halfway across the globe is quite unfriendly to the environment when there's perfectly good wool in Norway. Also, cottong growing is too singular, and wrecks the ecosystem.

*Thursday, yes. Well, after that, I'm done with the wretchedness, at least. *Now I've got that song running too... *hums* *Is that bad? It doesn't sound too bad *Did too. And quite amusing at that. *Yes... * ******* (fine, fine. I still win.)



It's always a possibility...

I often refer to that as left-over meat in natural intestines. Some people go 'eew' when I say that, which kinda amuses me.

Mmm, that's what I'm trying to figure out. It was black and red and shaped like a black widow, but the red markings didn't coincide with a black widow's.

But to the environment? The economy, maybe; but, if you're not growing it, it can't harm the environment. Yes, like what I said above. It strips the soil, and the pesticides and fertilizers are hell on everything else.

*When's school out? After that exam? *I've got zydeco. I'll have to play some of that for you, too, when the distortion settles its butt down. *It's too close to a C for me. It's not a good grade for me because I consider Cs failing. *Did not. Indeed. *Deviants, we are. *Sorry...*********** (DO NOT!)

It...can't....dieeeeeee.....

Reminds me of ant hills.

Yes, I can see how it would be amusing. That's what it is, so I don't see why it should. Sort of like pepperpot in that respect, methinks. Depends on where you get it, really. I had some cousins that were butchers and they ground up good cuts of meat to make sausage and it was heavenly. *drools*

How interesting. Perhaps you should look it up...

Very harmful for two reasons: 1)It's just as harmful to grow no matter where you grow it. I do not limit my environmental concern to one country and 2)All means of transportation used today bases itself, somewhere along the line, mainly on the burning of fossil fuels. This leads to the release of loads of unfortunate gases, such as NOx, COx and SOx compounds. I need not say that these compounds are _very_ harmful to the ozone layer, not to mention the way they affect global warming.

*It's out mid-june some time, but there's no work to be done after the exam... *Oh, yay! Finally something nice and enjoyable from Stacy's end of the line. *Ah, but you passed, at least. *Read the backlog, dear. *Yes, but it's so much fun. *What are you apologizing for? ******* (You said you weren't listening.)

Then keep it alive, damnit!

Why???

I think that if you can't face the truth of what you're eating, then you shouldn't eat it. Oh, that sounds great. Reminds me of that lovely Hungarian salami... *salivates*

I did. I think it's just a black widow with markings that are off.

Okay, you were looking at the entire stretch of things. NOx? Nitrous oxide, I'm guessing?

*Oh, lucky you. Why even attend school if you have no work to do? *Oh, I was going to play for you some bluegrass and Jim Croce, too. Nasty, Øyvind. *Is 'just passing' good enough for you? *Not a chance. DID NOT. *Indeed it is. Maybe too much fun, at times. *I don't quite remember. *********** (I'm not. I'm politely ignoring you. Is it possible to politely ignore anyone?)

Why?

To get rid of fire-ant beds, we soak them in gasoline/diesel and light them on fire or put fireworks in them.

I don't eat canned ham or vienna sausages because of that. *gags* Oooh, salami. I haven't had good salami in AGES.

Hmmm. Aren't black widows... dangerous?

Yes. NOx = NO(some number), could be NO, NO2, and so on. It's Nitrous Oxide, I suppose.

*Because the government say we have to have this and that many schooldays. Some teachers aren't through with the curriculum, others are. It's a nice way of rounding off the year, if you ask me. *Yay indeed. Well, come on. What have you played for me thus far? Hasn't it all been 'praise and worship'? *Nope, but I think it would be if I wasn't any good at the subject. I was happy to get a pass in Dancing, for instance. *Did too. *It might be dangerous, but I think I'm better off not knowing. *Awww. Well, no need to apoligize, anyway. ******* (I think that it is possible to politely ignore someone, in very rare cases, but you're not ignoring me at all, since you're answering this.)

I assumed you didn't want it to die.

Ah. Fire-ants... yet another exotic creature I'd rather not meet.

What's in canned ham? We get the ordinary one, but it's not particularly interesting.

Well, yes.

Aha, right. Yes, I wasn't sure what the x meant. It is the unknown quantity. I didn't know if you denoted compounds differently than we do.

*Yup, 180 for us. That is nice, you've got a study hall or playtime or naptime in some classes. Sort of like AP this year. Fond memories, fond memories... *I played one song. I'll have a list for you. *I don't do well with barely passing. It doesn't...it just doesn't cope well with me. *Did not. **sigh* *I wish I could remember why I write stuff sometimes. *********** (Must you always point out things with a reasonable mind?)

Well, I didn't really mind if it died, I just didn't want to be the one to kill it.

Ah, fire ants. Nasty little buggers but immense fun to fry with magnifying glasses. I got bitten by a cow killer yesterday. I don't suppose you'd have those?

We don't know what's in canned ham, and we'd rather not know. We have ordinary stuff that doesn't have much taste.

I see. We're not very used to having dangerous creatures in our bedrooms over here...

Ah, I see. Well, I think it's an international system, though I see why you would want to check that.

*Same here, I believe. Well, it's not really like that. Most of the music subjects are highly demanding. Philosophy was good, though. *Two, actually, but yes... Do that. *I understand. But I would guess that you feel you could've done better if you'd prepared yourself more, then? *Did too. *Well, it's very human not to. And rather charming, if I may say so. ******* (Yes.)

Aha. Well, I strongly dislike killing things, so I won't do it either.

Muahahahaha. What's a cow killer?

I see. I can eat that, but the real salami is incredible.

No? What sorts of dangerous creatures do you have in Norway?

I wasn't sure. I still can't name acids.

*I wasn't insinuating that they were easy classes, but that it's nice to get the courses over with. *Did I? *I don't know that I could have better prepared myself, other than studying the correct information, but I should be able to do it without. *Did not. *Charming to be human. Oh, well, I'm a flake and can't help it all that much.********* (Oh, well, I won't hold it against you, since it is useful for my purposes.)

Okay, then it lives temporarily. Grape or strawberry?

Cow killers...hm, large, fuzzy ants.

Indeed it is. I always wanted to go grocery shopping when we lived overseas to get the cheese and salami. My da would always let me order it because I loved it. It's a bit greasy, but absolutely wonderful.

Cow killers. http://www.tommyspest.com/page17.html

Not many. We've got vipers... That's about it. A couple of volwes, but they never kill people anyway.

It doesn't matter. You've passed your exam.

*Indeed it is. *Bluegrass and something else... BBMAC? *But you weren't able to... How far back would you have to go in time in order to get the right chemistry grade? *Did too. *It's not too bad. ******* (In what way would it be useful?)

As do we all. Strawberry (best enjoyed with chocolate). You?

URGH indeed.

Mmmmm. I love it.
