Hiya!

Awwww.... How cute! "We've got a wee computer geek on our hands here guys!" Just kidding.

Right... I'll do it after I've replied to this...

Well, I've checked. It finishes on the 23rd of June... May is definately very hopeful... I'll ask my mother about plans for the summer, so we can decide on a time... I think we're quite flexible, though...

Perhaps... They can be sometimes... Try going on road trips with younger siblings... It's a bloody nightmare..

Well, maybe. I'm not accusing you in the first place, I've never said it's your fault, because I don't think it is...

Rightoes...

hi!

gosh 4 weeks since we've been on this thread eh? gosh...:0

what were we talking about... oh yeah the computer... ooooh still excited!lol... my mother was telling me this morning about how the government wants all households in Britain to have a computer(by 2005 i think) therefore they are allowing anyone who works to get discounts on computer equipment. My mother's been talking about flatscreens(?) ever since!... basically i
might end up with a totally new computer being bought for me this summer.

road trips with younger siblings? Oh god i can imagine... but i can only imagine thankfully.
There's only so many times a sane human being can play "I Spy".

Hiya!

Rather a lot, isn't it? Have you got ANY idea how many emails I've now got in my inbox from you? I've just checked, we're on 318...

Yeah, it'll be fabulous... This means I'll get to show you loads of tricks to do with a computer, right? A wholly new computer? Well, as long as it's not better than mine... Naw, really, that'd be great! I'm not a huge fan of flatscreens, though. They don't respond all too well to high framerates... Oh, and flatscreens are generally computer screens that aren't too huge, they've got just as big a screen, but they're not all that long, and don't take up as much space, plus they look kinda futuristic. Here's an image of a lovely overkill flatscreen: http://www.geekstuff.no/items.php?groupid=2&itemid=33.

Which explains, at least partly, why I'm not a sane person...

Øyvind

hi!

well i must have about the same amount of e-mails from you!lol... plus i can't sort them or anything, they take aaaages to go through.

we're on 318 e-mails? ? Dear god...:0

Yes of course! What else would i expect a "geek" to teach me?

aaaah i doubt it'll be better than yours to be honest...! Aaaaah i see... i didn't know that about flatscreens... my mother is just attracted to the look of it i think. She hates anything which takes up too much room... dear me...

Thankies you.

yeah but what are the other multitude of reasons for your zanyness?!

hi!

i shall speak to you later... have to go to my grandads just now.

Hiya!

You're joking? You can't sort them... OMG... perhaps you should delete some of the old ones...

Yup, 318... I checked...<biggrin

A lot of things, geeks may know a lot about games, movies, music and mathematics...

Well, if it is, I'll just have to upgrade mine to keep my pride... Nah, I can't be bothered with that, my computer works, which is all that matters to me... Well, it's not common knowledge, but most gaming freaks know... Hehe, well, then she wouldn't like the ones I sent you. It was an overkill thingie, which means I SOOOO want one...

You're welcome.

That's not something I will disclose online... Naw, the reasons are many, but most of it is just my personality... Which could be traced to that horoscope of mine...

Øyvind

Heisann!

Nope, i can't sort them... you can store or delete them but that's it. You can't sort them into "folders" or anything like that.

Games, movies, music... yeah i can do all that... but maths? Sheesh, no that's all yours sweatie!

Yeah i mean we couldn't have that could we?! tee hee... nah i know, i think the same... as long as i can surf the web, send e-mails, get onto this forum and use MSN im quite happy.

an overkill thingie... how do you mean?

Oh deffo... see you, you barmy Capricorn! tee hee... oh on friday at college i was sitting around with some folk(friends of friends of friends etc...) and we all started talking about star signs... the girl who was leading the conversation(a Leo, no surprise) said matter-of-fact "Capricorns are such high achievers, i mean they're never poor!"... lol... it was funny because she seemed so genuinely shocked by her own statement!! She also added that Cancerians are "the ones who pretend they're introverts when they are actually pretty wild"... I should add she didn't know i was Cancerian by this point...

Hullo!

Sheesh... but doesn't it put the new emails on top or anything???

Hehe... I can understand that... I like it, though, the logics, and how you can use them to create "perfect" objects and reactions... Ahhh...

Definately not! True, that...

I mean that three 19" flatscreens is perhaps overdoing it a tad... It costs bloody £4000...

Ah, well, I would take that as a compliment if I were you...

Øyvind

hi!

well yeah it puts the newest e-mails first but it doesn't even tell you which e-mails you have read and which you haven't.

hmmmm... *wonders if you can get leopard-print mousemats"

gosh £4000? Nah that's excessive.

yeah twas a compliment i suppose.

Hmmmm sorry but i've not got much to go on here!... plus today wasn't an eventful day... a rather lonely day actually...so i haven't anything muchly exciting to tell you.

Hiya!

Ach... That's horrid... Ah, well, it'll be fixed soon...

You can, but I've got no idea where... Just look for gadget shops, I suppose...

It is... it's an army patent, three huge flatscreens... Very nifty, though... Tempting, but much to expensive...

I should think so...

Ah, well, we all have days like that. I haven't been doing much either... I've got a test tomorrow, though... And I've got a science report to write...

Oh, I got the piccies... most of them are good, I'll be putting together a scrapbook to send you any day now, but unfortunately, I haven't got a single good picture of you (!!!) We're going to have to do something about this...

Øyvind

hi!

eugh just back from the gig,... twas good but im soooo tired... and now worrying about my exam! i thought it was gonna stop me from worrying(for about 3 hours anyway) but well... i found myself standing in the crowd reciting spanish to myself... oh well

okies!... i'll have fun looking for one anyhoo.

*Thing which made me happiest today*: finding out(from Kate) that a girl from college(who i only know through Kate) refers to me as "leopard-print Claire" *big smiles*

good luck with your test!

Oh they're that bad then?!lol... i remember being in 2 pictures(one with you and one with Kristian)... i think they were taken from quite a distance though. Well hey i'll get to grips with a scanner come June hopefully and send you some... although what i should have did was take pictures at the Span gig... silly sausage.

night night!

Hiya!

Ah, well, I'm sure it'll be fine. Good luck with your test today...

I'm sure you will, it should be possible to get online, I think. Ah, yes: http://www.ajunglestore.com/leopardpage14.htm

Hehe... you really are easy to please... That's a nice nickname, though...

Thanks, it went allright...

No, but they were taken after dark, and you can't really see a lot. Oh well, we'll fix it. I've got some gig pictures to send you now too...

Øyvind

hi!

Thanky you, twas fine methinx.

oh good good, i'll check that out when i get online.

Claire

Hiya!

Good...

I think it's even got faux fur...

I see what he means...

Øyvind

hi!

It's got faux fur?!*faints*

You see what he means?!lol... remember this was the guy i had been told "likes the ladies"... i had been expectin a comment.

i meant to comment on the photos... aaaah i know what you mean about it having been dark... yeah twas pretty late on that night. The rest of the epics good then? I'll be using my camera up for the P!nk gig so i'll have my photos fairly soon.

Claire

Hello!

I believe it has, yes...

Well, your hair was rather... Spanish when I last saw you... Ah, well, I wouldn't worry too much about that...

Well, some are good, some are not so good. I scanned them today, I'll try and scrapbook them tomorrow.

Øyvind

hi!

Dear god... it should just have "Pour Claire" written on it in diamante.

ah... hmmmm didn't think it was dark enough then to be Spanish... anywayz! That's cool about the photos, i'm sure they'll be muchly interesting.

So hows your week been then? I've actually got the day off tomorrow because we had "the exam" today, Thought that was rather nice of our teacher. Now i just have to find something producive to do with my day.

Claire

Hi!

The mousepad is just part of a whole leopard print, faux fur department... I believe...

It was when I met you, I think... Ah, well. I should think so. You'll see soon enough.

Week's been fine. I'm giving a concert on Sunday, so I've got practice on Saturday... We're nearing Easter, and everything's getting easier...

Something productive: how about getting a computer at the library and ordering that mousepad, eh?

Anyway, how's everything coming along with the tickets?

Øyvind

heisann!

this sounds great! *realises she's getting excited about a mouse mat* sheesh...

Busy weekend eh? Im glad things are getting easier. I have 2 prelims this week and then a prelim and my final speaking exam for French the week after. But hey it'll be fine methinx!

Have fun at your practice... well your probably already there.

Yep i'll get em online when i go to my aunts to type up 2 essays for French. Oh and also check out the mousemat. 5-12th July it is. Is your mum okay with that?

Claire
