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

Well, I've just finished my final exam for High School ever (hopefully) and now I am free. Well, free to step up the job hunting, clean up a room that is burried under a year's worth of study, lose weight put on during the exam stress, and organise my OS trip.

Can you remember when you were actually bored by the end of holidays? Doesn't that seem inconcievable now?

Why can't anything ever be simple?

Which bit of Oz are you from? My girlfriends out there and really struggling to get a decent job, I'd hate for anyone else to be struggling too. Best of luck with exam results (from somebody who is now stuck at uni and wondering if it wouldn't have been better to fail)

I'm in Melbourne, Victoria.... nearly in the country, which doesn't help

Aha - best of luck getting a job. My girlfriend's leaving Melbourne next Wednesday. She was renting a flat in St Kilda, I think. I haven't really paid that much attention. How come you put on weight during the exams? Stress normally stops me from eating as much as normal. Am I just wierd? I'm paranoid now. I would be flirtatious and say that you look as lovely as ever, except that I've never seen you in my life and it would therefore be a wierd thing to say. Of course typing that I would have said it is just another way of saying it and ruins the whole point of not saying it. I think, I'm not sure. One of the perils of student life is being permanently drunk or hungover, so that confusing sentences and ideas seem like a good idea and you make an idiot of yourself sharing them. To avoid further embarrasment I think that I'll shut up now.

Well, during exams, I don't get out enough to get rid of the nomal excess wieght (not that I do that much anyway). Plus to keep calm and stay awake a lot of chocolate and coke is consumed....

Coke? As in form of pure carbon used extensively in blast furnaces? Just how does your metabolism work? Oh, and have a fish:

errrrr, cola actually

Oh, my mistake. Coke would be kinda cool. If you were Errol. Oops, forum cross over here. Did you like the fish?

Very nice. I showed him to the fish on my skirt and tehy were jumping off the material with excitement

What colour are the fish on the skirt? And what type? And do they have names? If not then we could start a H2G2 wide name suggestion competition. That would of course be far too silly for a mature person like me. Giggle....

hmmm, well, it's a big bit of material, say 2x1m and there are fishies all over it....

What? Actually fish? Are they, like, nailed to it or something? (to be read in a stupid american accent) Actually that'd make a really cool item of clothing. Might piss off the no fur brigade though. I think I'll wear one to the next fox hunt I attend..... I don't actually fox hunt, before anybody has a big go at me. It's a bit hard when you live in a town. I would but my garden's tiny and my horse would only land in next door's pond. Although it would no longer kill the fish if I did so if I were wearing them. Hmm, problems solved all round...

Don't worry (as if you would!) I'm still talking to you, but won't be able to until January. Don't have a pc at home, y'see. Have a good chrimbo and a drunken new year (more easily acheivable than a happy one, and they approximate to the same thing). I'd send a card but I don't actually know you...

tis okay bent - thanx for the sentiment....

Hope your Xmas/New Year period isn't too disappointing (so as not to get your hopes up) ;P

Christmas was brilliant, actually. Everyone got flu so we spent the entire of xmas day staring at a turkey that nobody really wanted to eat, but we were all too impolite to say. Having said that the whole point of turkey is so that for the next six weeks you have turkey leftovers in every meal, so we've just taken a noble tradition to further extremes. I thought my sister was showing off a bit by getting pneumonia though.
