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

Mmm... I would make some more, but we have too many desserts in the house at the moment. I'm getting sick of sweets after eating all of that cake frosting.

*It would be quite ridiculous to see. But what would you do with slaw afterwards? I think I may have. I think so. **rollseyes* A human consists of a mind and a body. Mind over body, yes, but no one has absolute of their body. I suppose, though it would be rather boring.* No, but I was going to. *DID NOT! Neither do I. (Apparently not or you wouldn't have told me I was being excessive.) *Bah. You do try your hardest to ruin my fun. *You are a poor, sick duck, know that? *It doesn't matter. Same thing. * We even quote each other quite well. *Probably. I can find something else to make. ******** (Haha, I think Sherman would start crying and trying to get me to pet him. She's very aloof, isn't she? (WHAT?! (Ach, fingernails. (Nope, not in general. There are exceptions to every guideline... *sigh* You do manage to mangle my points until I can't remember what they are. ((Pshaw.) I probably should. Mmm... (*narrowseyes* (*shakeshead* My poor, poor dear. I like straight up and down. (What is dangerous? <puppyface&gt))))))))

I'm glad I told you, too. It's the way it is, and I love it, so it's perfect.

Yes, but you never say things that I can use in context so I'll have to take yours out.

Ah well, you can manage without for a while, can't you?

*You could probably throw a huge cole slaw party. That would mean a voice convo's coming up. I'll be home late tonight, but maybe then. Mmmmmmm... *Not absolute, but there's a difference between absolute control and enough control to avoid punching someone. *Ah. Fortunately you didn't. *Did TOO! Then we'll keep it. (It worked for a while, then you went excessive.) *Is granting you a victory and general 'rightness' the same as ruining your fun? *Oh bah, just bah! *Not really. Macho men try to appear psychologically strong by being so physically, but a lot of them break down under pressure. *Yes. It's weird. *That's higly likely. I had better go get some breakfast. ******** (Oh, she doesn't do that, for some reason. Not really aloof, no. She looks that way some times, but she's far from intelligent enough to be considered aloof. (You heard me! You did, and it can be proven, if you can be bothered with reading backlog. (What's wrong? (Guidelines, not principles, then. Hehe, I think it does us both some good. (Mmmmm indeed. (*looks around bewildered* (Why so? They're much more fun to put up when they aren't straight. It's more alive and energetic. (Being somewhere between joking and being serious. No need for that, I won't upset you, dear.))))))))

Yes, it is. I'm sorry I can't be there physically, but we may be able to remedy that pretty soon...

Taking it out of context is cheating and distorting the truth.

Yes, I think I can. I had some sort of attack this week and am guzzling water like crazy. I've gone through almost a gallon today.

*Make buckets of the stuff and do nothing but eat cole slaw. I'll have to have lots of cole slaw if I decide to have another party for my birthday. I don't think it'll be quite the same without the guys, though. Mmmmmmm, do you realize we haven't had a chance to say it to each other yet? *I don't know. Sometimes it takes everything I have to keep from punching people. *I don't remember what I didn't do and can't be buggered into looking. *Did NOT! I could have told you that about fifteen posts ago. (Bah, excess is relative.) *Only when you admit that you could have been being soft. *I'm going to go back and read the backlog to find out what I said to get you that wound up now... *It was a joke and you're silly. *Well, look at you. *Breakfast at noon. Shiskabob, boy, you're sick. ********** (Haha, Sherman is pretty dumb, but he still manages to be aloof at times. (If I don't go back and read the backlog, I will be completely ignorant to the fact that I might have dropped a train. If I am completely ignorant of it, then you can't possibly convince me, which mean that I win. (Oh, they were too long. I clip them every two days because I hate fingernails. (Maybe so, but it's interesting. (Mmmmmmity mmmmm... (You do try. (But doesn't it make you queasy to twist about trying to figure out which way the picture goes? I like straight pictures because they hang so nicely. (How so? Ha, you can't avoid it, darling, but I don't think you'd do it intentionally.)))))))))

We're doing fine for now, but I will definitely be looking forward to being able to touch you.

I'm a cheater. A horrible one. But then, so are you. Together, we are both cheaters.

Ah, yes, I've had that too. My record is 5.5l of water.

*Sounds like a good party to me. Just don't make me do the dishes, I've got a 12h shift today. Yes, I've thought about that. I miss your voice, too. Will you be able to do this through Keith's computer or do you have to wait for the new power supply? *I cannot really understand that problem, but then again, I haven't met those people. *Whatever it was, you didn't do it, fortunately. *Did TOO! And I warned you before that, actually. (Yes, in this case, it's natural to see it in relation to the other exclamation marks in the same thread. It was excessive) *I do not know what I was, I find it highly likely that I wasn't soft, but I cannot rule out any possible options. *And what did you find? *I know it was a joke, and I know I'm being silly, dear. *What about me? *Yep, but that's quite alright. ******** (Hmmm... wait. Yes, she does manage to be aloof some times, but it's rare. (No, you cannot win without a proper moral victiry, I'm just as stubborn as you are, and you know it. You'll need to face me with proper facts. (I clip mine quite often too. I see no reason in growing them. (Interesting and good for us. How can it get better? (Mmmmmmm this is such a conversation killer... (Thank you. (Nope. You could even hang them on your wall in a not so straight manner (provided you don't use a frame.. (Well, if you don't know what you intend to say properly, and wether you are serious or not, then it shouldn't be said. Being half-serious yet half-joking often means hurting or insulting people. That is true, I will try and limit it, though.)))))))

Not too long now, if all goes well.

Yes, well, I do not take things out of context.

I have never measured. I do like water. And orange juice. I'm not allowed to drink orange juice anymore; and, as of yesterday, I am not allowed to eat albacore.

*I like cole slaw. Whoops, I just answered about your twelve-hour shift in an email thread because I thought I dropped it. I'm trying to consolidate time by answering email and threads at the same time. I do miss yours, too. I thought of the most hysterical thing last night. I'm going to have to teach you how to drawl. Hahahahahaha... Nah, I won't be able to do voice convo's through Keith's computer because he's got this horrid surround-sound setup and a microphone that reverberates through the speakers before routing through to the computer. Don't ask me how, he set it up. * And may neither of us ever have to. *I'm quite relieved for that. *DID NOT! Did you? I can't recall. (Lalalalalalala...) **shakeshandsatsky* Ruining my fun, ruining my fun... *I didn't. I couldn't stand digging through the mountains of backlog. *You know you're being silly? How cute. *You are strange. *I don't think I can say much. I had the breakfast of champions: cake, cold pizza, and a frigid can of pop.********* (Haha, so cute. I do like her coloring too. (Who needs morals? I'm going to tell myself I win so many times that you won't ever be able to change my mind. (They get dirty, they tear, they flip up, they rip off, they get dirty, they help spread disease long. (Mmmmmmmmmm, but such a lovely one. (Quite welcome, I'm sure, if I could remember what you're thanking me for. (I do use a level to figure out if my pictures hang straight... (I like frames...a lot. (Well, I knew how I wanted to say it, but testy sarcasm fails to accurately transcribe itself through text. Yes, well, I tend to hurt a lot of people and it has proved itself useful. I, too, will try terribly hard to avoid upsetting you unnecessarily.))))))))

Shh, don't get either of our hopes up. Think negatively, and we will not be disappointed but insanely happy.

Doesn't make you any less of a cheater, just a different brand.

You were wondering where our long-winded conversations got to? I think this qualifies as gargantuan.

I don't usually bother with it either, but when you're not at home, and have to buy water on bottles, then you know which amount you get. Why aren't you allowed to drink orange juice? And what on earth is albacore?

*So you do. Yes, you did. I must say I think you worry yourself uneccesarily over me, but I suppose that's all part of the deal. Mmmm. Hahahahaha, "and she seeks her revenge for horrible Norwegian lessons"... This is going to be fun. It could probably be fixed in a jiffy, but I don't suppose it's worth the bother, really. *Perhaps we won't. *As am I. *DID TOO! Yes, I did. (I win.) *Oh, yes, excuse me for feeling the way I do. *Awwsies. We have got a lot of posts. *Yes, but I can't help it. *And? *Hehe, you should've seen my lunch yesterday. Scrambled eggs, bread, chocolate and lemon mousse... I didn't eat it all at once, but still... (Yes, I chose it to avoid the whole 'lassie'-rush. (Well, they come in handy when interacting with other people. You know you can't avoid caring, in the end. (True, that. Urgh, can we change the subject? (You SKIPPED one yet again, time for me to repost: 'Interesting and good for us. How can it get better?' (Very much so, dear. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm... (You were giving me credit for trying. That's what I'm thanking you for. (I've never bothered with that, but some of them should be straight... statistically. (What about albums? (Yes, I suppose so. *sigh* You are indeed forgiven. Mmmmmmmmmmm... Hurting people is a defence, but is it neccesary, in the end? Not too hard, now. Honesty is more important than to avoid things.))))))))

True, but I can't think too negatively, and I've never needed to either. I've found a way of not getting disappointed without thinking negatively. There's a difference between hoping and expecting, and I use it to the fullest. I've just made my calculations for the weekend, and I've earned just enough to cover the plane ticket, both ways. Once more, and I've got a LOT more.

A very honest cheater...

Ah, didn't think of that. The acid makes me break out. Albacore is a type of tuna.

*Oh, bah, I'm a worry wart, admittedly. It shall be amusing. The concept of stretching a one-syllable word into four. It can probably be fixed quite easily, but I would probably get thrown off of the computer. I'm trying to preserve my internet fix. *I shall try my hardest. *Right. *Did NOT!! As if I care. (You do NOT win!) *Hmph. I'm not sure I can. *That's a mild understatement. *You don't need to. *Well, shucks, mister. *Feeling ill, yet? AAAGH! You forgot the closing tail of asterisks! *********** (Understandably. (Posh. Agh. (Hahaha... (I so did not skip that one! I remember commenting on it. (We should probably drop this. Mmmmmmmmmmm... (Ah, right. Congratulations. (Statistics are not accurate compilations of the truth. You have a one in a million chance of having a picture hanging straight if you just throw them up on the wall. (I'm an obsessive scrapbooker. Actually, I've kind of petered that out. (I know, I know, I know.))))))))

*squeal* What a dear!

A cheater, nevertheless.

Awww. I love most fruit juices. Mango juice is heavenly. Hmmm... what on earth is wrong with eating tuna, I wonder...

*Well, it's nice to know you care, that's for certain. Very amusing, at that. Yes, internet without voice convos is better than no internet at all. *I won't but there's always hoping. *Err... left? *Did TOO!!! That doesn't matter as much to me as the facts. (Oh, I'm quite certain I did, and it's even more convincing when you go denying it like that.) *It was sarcasm, dear. *I suppose so. *No, I suppose not. Mmmmmmm. *Not a loss to me, since I can't be bothered with finding out what we're talking about. *Feeling perfectly fine, darling. Oh, damn. ******** (Damned annoying, really. It's wrecked up the entire breed. Once again, I don't know why I'm ranting about this to you, but I can't help it. (Posh? You know I'm right about this. (Only, I was eating while reading it... (Well, what did you say? (Why bother? Mmmmmmmmmmmm... (That's a bit too much, but still. (And one in a million chances crop up right nine times out of ten... (Shame, perhaps you should recover it. (Oh my, I must be extremely predictable to you by now... <warmsmile&gt)))))))

Well, the calculations are very encouraging. Mmmmmmmmmmm...

So we're both cheaters, but I'm a slightly more fair one...

Apple juice, mango juice, and cranberry juice are my favorites, I think. Not sure. I've been eating it since I was tiny and decided to have an anaphylactic reaction. I have had only one of those and it was caused by penicillin.

*I don't, I'm just lying to you. Well, the power supply should be arriving shortly. * *Izquierda? *Did NOT! Hmph. (AAAGH!!) *Bah, I know that. **snort* *I just got really confused in this trail of asterisks. *Hmm, well, I'm quite lost. *I am quite glad for that. Mmmmmmmm... ******** (Well, I started it in that email. I did very well, and you are entitled. (Which is why I'm poshing you. (Oh, one of those? (I just said I remembered commenting on it, just not what I said. (You're right. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.... (What is? I don't even know why I congratulated you anymore. (*narrowseyes* (I don't know. Mine never look very good, and I prefer just to stick everything in there with no frills. (Entirely, although you do expound on your repetoir on occasion.)))))))))

Reread that statement.

Nope, you won't tell me what tactics you're contemplating.

Mmmmm to that. I've never had cranberry juice, but they've just started selling blueberry juice over here. Mmmmmmmmmm. How extremely odd. I do feel sorry for you.

*That's what you always say, and I've never believed it. You know you wish to reciprocate, and that means you care. Yay for that. *Very much so. *Atdetvar??? *Did TOO! Hah! (*doesstrangehoppydancewithwawesandlookslikeacompleteidiot*) *Yet you were being literal. Hmmmmm... *What? *Try again, dear. *Yes, it's tricky to keep track of them all, isn't it? *What about you, then? Mmmmmmmmm... ******** (True, that. More rambling will get repetitive, though. (Why? (Not really, but it was an exceptional situation. (Well, it's not written anywhere, so I can't really know what you've said, can I? (And you just gave it to me like that. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... (It had something to do with giving me credit for trying something or other, but never mind, dear. (Oh, that's right, you don't like Pratchett... (Well, alright. I like reading scrapbooks, but I'm not one for making them. I would've figured you loved the glueing. (And I could say the same for you. What fun.))))))))

Erm... whoops?

Oooh, look who's quoting out of context. I've revealed most of my rhetorical tactics to you, but I will not reveal my wrestling techniques.

Mmmmm to that. I've never had cranberry juice, but they've just started selling blueberry juice over here. Mmmmmmmmmm. How extremely odd. I do feel sorry for you.

*That's what you always say, and I've never believed it. You know you wish to reciprocate, and that means you care. Yay for that. *Very much so. *Atdetvar??? *Did TOO! Hah!

Erm... whoops?

Oooh, look who's quoting out of context. I've revealed most of my rhetorical tactics to you, but I will not reveal my wrestling techniques.

Oh, I forgot to comment on your post about gargantuan conversations. You're right, this one's huge. I think I've figured out that we still have the same long conversations, only that they're rather interrupted by 'Mmmmmmmm' than by long rounds of 'bah' and 'never mind'.

Mmmmm, I do like blueberries, but blueberry juice is kind of...granular. You should, you should.

*So I'm not reciprocating, am I? *raiseseyebrows* I will be very happy to have my computer back. *How strange. *Ekky? *Did NOT!!! Brat. (Awww, yay! *doeshoppydancewith*) *Probably. *I honestly haven't a clue. *About being lost? Or is that the next? *I completely lost them all, I'm afraid. *What about me? Mmmmmmmmm...******** (We tend to reargue the same things over and over, if you haven't noticed, but I agree. (Er... (Alright. I can deal with that. (I'm sure you can figure it out... (Completely selfish, I assure you. Mmmmmmmmmm... (I shall pay it no mind, then. (Not very much. (But you see, I don't glue picture in scrapbooks. That ruins the pictures. I stick them under clear plastic on those rubber pages. (I think so.)))))))))))

*titters* I guess you could say that.

Which is cheating.

We haven't had much 'bah' and 'nevermind' recently. It's just that lovely conversation killer mmmmmmmmm... Speaking of which, mmmmmmm....

That's the odd thing, this one isn't granular at all. It's been mixed with something else, to make it more drinkable. Yes, but you know I do.

*Yes, you are, but you're often worrying that you're not doing enough. Yes, that's something to look forward to. I've got work tomorrow and friday, so that should about cover the hotel bill... YAY! *Why so? *That's exactly what I wrote, only in Norwegian. *Did TOO!!!! Maybe so, but Mmmmmmmmm... (Hehe, you're going to have to teach me how to dance, dear.) *Role switching here... *But you had reason at the time, right? *Getting confused with this one. the next one's about being lost. *Awwsies. *How do you feel? Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...******** (Yes, I've noticed, but for some reason, this one would be different because we have the same views. (*sweetsigh* I can't believe how you do that, but it's actually quite charming. (I do NOT leave dirty dishes everywhere, darling. I know it's a typical icky male thing to do, but I don't do it. (Sorry, I'm not a mind-reader... (Maybe so, but that doesn't make it any less nice, in my opinion. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... (No worries. Oh, I've got more bee-pictures for you too... (I can understand it. (Ah, well, what do you put in scrapbooks, then? (Well, we do get repetitive, but it's still nice...))))))))



Maybe so, but I need it.

Yes, precisely. Much better, actually. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... indeed.

Now that has potential for loveliness. Ah, but yes.

*Well, I don't think I do. *squeezesself* Oh, so much fun! *It depends on what was strange. *Bah, that sucks. *DID NOOOOOOOT! That's not fair. I now see how you're going to win in wrestling. (Yes.) *We've been doing that quite a bit. Rather amusing. *Precisely. Such a bright boy. *Sure...I'm confused, just so you know. *Confuzzled...confuzzled... *I think Mmmmmmmmmmmm... covers it.********** (How splendid. (Do what? (Good, I am obsessive compulsive about my kitchen. (Stupid males. (Mmmmmmmmmmmm, I'm very happy for that. (Yippee! (Good. (Pictures, I just don't glue them. I also put lots of crap. Like playbills, movie stubs, concert tickets... (Mmmmmmmmmmmm, I agree.)))))))))))

Twit.

Yes, agreed.

We're pathetic. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

It's extremely good. Tara eats blueberries straight off the plants...

*I just don't think you realize how much it means to me that you exist, not to mention all the things you've helped me with. It's not a lot of fun, but what I get out of it afterwards will be quite lovely. *You're getting worse at remembering these threads. *Well, you wrote something else in another (possibly imaginary) language, I just responded. *DID TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! And how is that? (And I'm looking forward to it, too.) *Yes, I think it's quite healthy for the both of us. *Hehe, it doesn't take much, it's one of your standard excuses. *I've noticed... but it's quite cute, at that. *Ah well.. *That's good. Mmmmmmmmmmmm... ******** (Yes. (Say something and then manage to fail in remembering why you said it after a day... (Yes, I kinda guessed that. (Bah... can't argue with that... (Mmmmmmmmmm... just mmmmmmmmmmmm... (Yes. You'll probably have to nag me for them, but I've got them. (God, I'm feling so completely sappish. (Ah, I see. Well, do what you want, I suppose. How does glueing it ruin the picture, though? (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I knew you would. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... again. Isn't this getting a bit excessive?))))))))

Why so?

This'll be so fun...

Absolutely, but it's sooooooo nice. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I can imagine. Yes, good girl! I do, too, especially with figs.

*I don't, but that means a lot to me. No, you're quite right. *Yes, I've noticed that. *Izquierda is left in Spanish. *Did NOT. Hmph. If you start Mmmmmmmmming, I don't think I'll be fighting back very long. (As am I. I think you'll be very good.) * *I was teasing you. *You're going to be overwhelmed by my cuteness, because I am usually confused. *Yes. *Mmmmmmmmmmmmm....********* (Right. (Sometimes less than that. (Kitchens and bathrooms. (Haha, you're just exceptional? (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... (I will attempt to nag you. (Awwsies, poor you. (You have obviously never glued a photograph. (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...hello, my psychic friend....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....)))))))

No reason, I'm just poking, dear.

Oh, buddy, yes.

I think we'll be keeping it, then. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Mmmmmmm... Indeed. So cute when she's grazing like that. Mmmmm... figs. We haven't got them here.

*I'll have to tell you more about that some time. Mmmmmmm to that. *What do you suppose causes it? *Ah, 'Høyre', then. *Did TOO! I don't think I'll start Mmmmmmmmmmmming, but you never know. (Not to begin with, but in time.) * *I know, but it's still a standard excuse of yours. *Most likely. How nice, though. *How are you? *Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... ********* (Your turn to save this one. (True, but I didn't want to make it too obvious. (Quite alright with me. (I didn't say any such thing. But you did. (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... indeed. This is getting pathetically excessive. (Do so. (Hehe, well, it's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one who feels like that every now and then. (Nope, but I've got an album where someone's done it. It's worked quite nicely. (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... this is so incredible... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...))))))))

Ah.

And so good and comfy to, probably.

Nothing for it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

She's so careful when she picks them off, isn't she? Just plucking them off with her front teeth. We had a big fig tree at our old house, but we have one that's getting big here. They're absolutely divine. They are soo sweet.

*Mmmmm, you shall. Mmmmmmm... *Probably the Mmmmming. It gets to my head. *That'll do, I suppose. How in the world do you pronounce that, though? *DID NOT! If you start Mmmmmmming, it'll be all over. (I don't know, you have potential. You can count music, so I'll have to break you of that.) *Golly, what saps we are. *Shhh...don't tell the world about that. *Ignorance is bliss. *I'm doing dandy. Had quite a cry last night, and everything is so much funnier at three in the morning. *Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I think we're decompensating.******** (CPR? That'll do, donkey. (Drifty can be good. If you ever do something horrid, most likely my short-term memory will fail me and I won't remember. (I just hate dusting. Dusting and washing windows. (Nah, you are pretty exceptional. I'll grow tired of it sooner or later. (I agree. It is entirely pathetic, but who's going to stop first? Mmmmmmmm... (Remind me, will you? (Bah, who told? (Ugh, how horrifying. I like to be able to move the pictures around eventually. (Mmmmmmmmmhahahaha, we are horrid. Absolutely, positively horrid. Mmmmmmmm...))))))))

Hahahahaha....

Splendid, it'll be.

Well...Mmmmmm...

Yes, she almost licks them off. Yes, they're lovely. Mmmmmmmmmmm...

*Mmmmmmm, I hope you'll be convinced. Mmmmmmmmm... *Yes, it's getting rather excessive. *Maybe so. It's... this'll have to be done through a voice convo. The Øy-sound you already Iknow, I suppose. *DID TOO! All over? Ah, the wrestling. I will try, but I don't know if I'll be able to control it for too long. (Yes, I can count, and I've got rhythm, we shall see.) *Yes, but I need it. *Hehe, you've mocked me for mine. *Maybe so, but I can't see how people can live with it. *Good, but aww. What were you crying about? Hehe, that is true. *Mmmmmmmmmmmmm... Yes, we need this. ******** (Probably, but I'm more in favour of first-aid. (Hehe, that's true, up to a point. It still wouldn't be fair to you if I exploited that. (Washing windows I enjoy, but dusting is not my favourite activity. (I'm sort of praying you won't, at least for a long while yet. (I'm not. I need this. Mmmmmmmmm... (Yes, I will remind you to nag me on MSN about something I can't remember. (You did. (Is _that_ why you think it ruins the pictures? (Mmmmmmmmmmm... yes, just look at the overview of the thread... Mmmmmmmm...))))))))

*bows*

Just the matter of not Mmmmmmmmmming too soon. I'll try and pin you down and let you wriggle for a while before I start it.

Yes? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
