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

So, I've ordered myself my christmas present (), which is a Maxtor DV5000 120GB 7200rpm firewire (and also usb2) external harddrive. .. so I can actually back things up, both off my laptop, other peoples' laptops, and off my desktop. It also means that I can fileshare, and that I'll have a colossal amount of space for files. ()

I'm going to Southampton tomorrow (today, technically), to pick up all of the stuff from my room and cart it back to my parents house (most notably, my books, which are NOT going to be fun to pick up and carry out to the car. )

You need to invest in some kind of wheely device...

for njan

Well, I have a suitcase with wheels which fits all of the books I have in Southampton.

The only problem is that I can barely lift it.

Incidentally, since the topic of what I looked like came up the other day, you're having a URL pasted somewhere where you might see it.. I'm randomly surfing my own website (because I'm going to redesign my website some time soon)..

The website is at http://www.njan.co.uk/njan (but you may not be able to access the whole thing, since you don't use a proper web browser.. still.. try it if you want).

Or just don't click on any of it. .. if you do, be warned.. those two pictures are both at /least/ a year old, and I've lost a fair amount of weight, grown, and ceased to shave regularly since they were taken.

Have you not got anyone to help you? Maybe you should leave some books behind at home this time then...I *know* that's a shocking concept, but if it saves all the hassle when you go home, then sobeit.

Is Uni far from your parents house?

Well, I have a car and a driver. .. but still. .. *shocked expression*.. leave books behind? Soldier, I NEVER leave a book behind!

It's an hour or so's drive.. an hour and a half in average traffic, an hour if it's good.



*points at the post you ignored*

Simulpost. Didn't notice.

*looks really intently at the links*

I'll give it a go.

I have just been made really f**king angry by the newest conversation on askh2g2...

*F**KING FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!*

No...they don't work

I am not happy tonight. Not feeling loved. Not good. I want to be somewhere else but here tonight...

whoa.. , honey, .. what's the problem?

*checks askhootoo*

I am catatonic
and
it sucks to be me.

eep.. more simulposting..

.. I'm sorry. ..

Well, I'm sure that I don't have to tell you that there are many people who don't think that the fact that you're around (and you're who you are) doesn't suck.. do I?

As ever, if you want to talk, you know where I am. And if you really want to, you're welcome to e-mail &c..

I didn't say that!

I'm fine online. But RL is getting me down...and down...and down...

It's so dull trying to finish the book. And everyone else is speeding on in life...in Uni...and I'm stuck here. Ho hum. Feeling like a failure. It's all exterior pressure though. Not my fault, and I know it's probably not true. But ...

To cheer me up, aid my struggle to get my article edited. Go! A879645 ! Comment! It's been in PR too long now...

..

Sometimes, I find, it's nice to have little things that sparkle like little shiny things in rl when I'm feeling down. Every now and then I text message random people and start obscure conversations, and that kinda keeps me earthed or something. I get messages about 4 hours after I decided I'd text message a whole bunch of random people replying, and it's so out-of-the-blue that it somehow makes me snap out of whatever strange mood I happen to be in.. .. yeah, I'll shut up now.

.. If it's any consolation, I'd rather NOT be at uni, but I pretty much know that I have to be. Go visit someone you know at uni and see what it's like. Lectures are easy enough to sneak into. hell, you can even come and kip on my floor for a few days and go to some philosophy lectures if you want.

ok!.. I will.. but not now, because I'm about to go to bed.. (or, will in a bit, and I'm gradually falling asleep), and.. not tomorrow daytime, because I'm in Southampton.. I'll try and do it tomorrow evening. *nods sagely*



?

Yeh. I have no cash on my phone . So maybe I should call my favorite person, and talk to him about stuff. I have an email heading my way tomorrow too

I don't really want to talk to people though. Just want a RL .

Oh so

Might get on with my next article tonight.

talk to him. ..

well.. if you came to meet in january, I'm sure you'd be innundated with them, not least from me.

Wish I could help. *sigh*

Ah the number one phrase most said to me....*ding ding ding*...congratulations njan, you win a brand new set of steak knives!!!!

It's Ok. I'm always OK. Just not looking forward to much. I wouldn't mind going to the meet, just to see Bob again. Not to mention meeting you & Nyssa & everyone else But I can't. Because my life is non-functioning...and we are back at the beginning.

ack.. I clichéd.. *thwaps self*.. although a set of Sabatier knives /are/ on my christmas list.

hmm..

If anything, you'd benefit from the s. Not to mention the being around unique people-ness.

Financial concerns aside, why can't you go?

Kurt Cobain's diary is on mine.

*thinking*

There isn't any other reason I guess. I just don't trust other people right now. I mean, you read what happened to me in Manchester. I've got no mode of transport - and I hate asking for help - and I have no cash for drinks and stuff - and I would only briefly know someone. Just stupid little stuff that bothers me more than the big stuff. Which is stupid. And I'm not that great in person...

.. I honestly have no idea what people're going to buy me. I think that all my relatives have consigned theirselves to not knowing very much about me, and as such just buy things that they feel represent what they think I should be like. .. one of my grandparents has a habit of buying me books about cars, for example.

But that aside, our family's odd..

.. yeah, that sucked muchly. ().. people really can be extremely cruel. (Don't I just know it..). Do you think you'd cope with the next meet better if you'd met more h2g2 people individually?

And I don't believe that for a moment.

Christmas is always crap for me. I haven't seen my little brother in 3 years now But that's aside from the point.

I am definitely going to the summer meet...well depending on the people going of course. My life is a bit hectic right now. I'm still trying to get a hold of what I need to do, and work out some of the things my poor excuse for parents should have told me years back. It's just not practical really. I shall hopefully have a grip on it all by my next birthday. It's hard doing everything on your own though...



Should really go and make something to eat...
