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

After having struggled for a few weeks I decided that I will take a timeout from hootoo. There are so many people and threads I’m fond of that it’s costing me too much time to reply to everyone and everything. I feel incapable of selecting a few threads while ignoring others. Not being able to reply properly is not only impolite but also makes me feel bad. So I decided to take a timeout.

I’m all busy with my studies, writing up my thesis. It’s taking me much longer than expected, and the stupid scribble refuses to take shape.
Then of course I spent too much time in the garden throughout the last week… I finally planted my seedlings (mainly mallows and cosmos) and now it’s becoming cold again and I’m afraid that they’ll all freeze to death!

I’ve already had to impose a ban on learning French and doing arts, and now it’s hitting hootoo! Not to mention that I didn’t even read a single book so far this year I really wanted to read. Only books for my studies… Oh, now all I’ve left is my telly (who refuses to show me terrestrial TV by the way – I’m afraid it’s kind of breaking down).

Well, all there’s left to say is that I’m going to miss you all so much!!! Oh, I nearly forgot to give you the emergency hotline: [email protected] . Only use it in emergencies, like when you need a , or there turns up a new in your garden I should know about! No, really I’d be happy to receive the one or other mail, I don’t want to lose contact with you guys!

Anything else? Don’t think so…

Have a nice day / week / month… !

Thursday was so sad when he heard that I won't be around in the next few weeks that I felt the need to cheer him up with and ad!

This should read "an" instead of "and"!

You mean A1145477 ?

After all, The Language Thing is at A1145477 isn't it

Ooooo! Simulpost!

A1145477 you say?? Could be could be

Well I went to A1145477 and it was there, so I can only presume that The Language Thing on h2g2 is at A1145477

Hurry back because the place won't be the same without you
We will miss you Goodluck with your thesis and I am sure it will be great.

hi katkodl

Sorry for my whining about you leaving on the thirstbar thread. Hope all goes well with your studies and other RL stuff. It's good that you are looking after yourself!

When you return your good friend friend red will be there and ready to welcome you.

and

Thank you all for the good wishes!
See you soon!

We haven't spoken for a while, and it sounds as if it is just as well, if you are that busy. I have made a note of your emergency hotline and may drop you a line sometime.

Take care, with your thesis, and I look forward to resuming our chats when you have some free time again.

I hope you have sufficient willpower to stay away - I don't

I hope I am not too late with this message and you haven't already away from HooToo.

Good luck with the thesis... and you're a better person than I to impose such a ban on yourself! (I should be doing homework now... but the allure is too great.) I hope you can come back eventually - we'll all be here waiting for you.

I'll miss you, Katkodl, and hope you have a productive time out, and achieve all you wish to do...

Thanks for your advertisements!

It’s quite a while ago that I last posted on h2g2, and all I can say is that time is passing by all too quickly! I’ve been lurking now and then throughout the last few weeks , and the other day I spotted a message on my PS left by Websailor , so I thought maybe it’s time to stop by and say “hello” to everyone.

How’s everyone doing?

I’m still very busy with real life. I’m finally moving out of my apartment and things aren’t working out too well. I hate moving! Well, meanwhile things are sorted more or less, but all the moving stress distracted me a lot from studying… Also, I’m not quite sure whether it’s a good idea to move back to my parents at the age of 24. But I don’t have much of a choice: I’m still working on my thesis, I have no income, and I don’t receive child support any longer. My parents don’t mind having me back at home, so here I go…

As indicated above, writing my thesis is not going too well. I underestimated the effort of writing my thesis A LOT. I wasted too much time with worrying throughout the last few months, that way I got distracted from doing things properly. Weird enough I’ve calmed down a little now that my life is all mixed up more than ever.

It’s almost three months ago that my laptop broke down, and I still haven’t got a new one. That is, last week my new one finally arrived, but! they delivered the wrong one. So I’m back in waiting mode.

A note on the weather: this year’s summer is even weirder than the summer we experienced last year. As you may have heard Austria is drowning in water once more, while the Iberian Peninsula has to fight against the forest fires. No idea whether fire or water is preferable… I (now) live in the east of Austria, and we are not as much affected by the rain as the western regions are. We do have a lot of rain here too, but neither floods nor mudflows. All in all we had an estimated five hot days this summer. It’s pouring again today, but I really don’t mind the bad weather, and the snails seem to like it.


Well, that’s all for the moment. I’ll check back as soon as I’m done with moving! Hope everyone’s doing fine! Would be nice to hear from you!

Have a nice day!

yay kadkodl's back (for a while!!)

Ah, now look at me! I already seem to get stuck here again!

Hello BL! Did you have a nice vacation?

Hi,

Glad you are OK. I did wonder. You are right about the weather - it is crazy.

Hope the move goes smoothly. My son came back for a year, and he was much older than you. It gave him a breathing space after a relationship break up, and it wasn't too traumatic

Apart from the fact that he was used to doing as he liked, and so were we, it worked out reasonably well. It is hard to go back to parents, but it might do you good for a while. Perhaps you will be able to concentrate better.

If my memory serves me right you weren't too happy in your apartment anyway, so perhaps this will be a whole new beginning.

to you, and to your parents also Lots of adjustments to be made You are lucky, some parents would not have their offspring back at any price

Take care,
Websailor
