Everything Else / Re: Has "this" ever happened to you?
« on: September 17, 2003, 07:46:36 PM »
I think my "0" beats his record of 1.
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

Hey! As I said, I wasn't afraid of it at all. It just hurt the day after.

I get you, Gemm. For the very same reason, I hate the "Jason" in "adjacent". Triginomatry lessons get old very fast - especially since I'm paranoid and thik everybody's always talking about me anyway.

I hate any Trite, patronising baby talk words, such as "Yummy" "Mummy" or anything else that adds a "Y" on the end for no reason. I also despise people using words that aren't really words, unless they're being witty. Finally, and most importantly, I can't stand any Bull words used in advertising or propaganda,none of which I can think of at the moment. Oh, and thanks to an ad on TV right now, my number one hated word is "Mouthpaste."

I'll have to get myself a copy when it comes out. Anyway, congratulations. It's pretty hard to even finish writing a book, letalone getting it published. Or at least I think it is, but that's cos I'm lazy, and if I decided to write a short story it takes me three years to get a first draft. Unless, of course, I'm pressured by school deadlines.

Ow. They neglected to mention that the day after receiving it, it would feel like someone punched me in the arm. Really really hard. Ok it's just a bruise, but it hurt more than the actual needle. Which is backward I think - if someone is going to stab me with a sharp implement, I want to feel the pain then and there, not the next day.
Still, I didn't throw up like some people did.

Well that didn't hurt at all. I was expecting it to be a tiny needle, but it was even smaller. Had I not known it was going in, I wouldn't have noticed it. I did watch it go in, but then looked away - mostly out of boredom.

Bad pun of the day
I think we should hunt down all of these so called predators. It would be a "Shrewed" idea. (Boom -tish)

Back to the needles, I get to have one today. The australian government is providing all year 12 students with a free meningacocal (sp?) vaccine, since we're the biggest group to get the disease. No, I'm not afraid, just irritated by the fact that I'm going to be stabbed. Those things hurt a bit.

I find it amusing that at level eight you are still dealing in camel poo, whereas at level four, which is an entire half of your level, I am presentable. A peasant, yes, but presentable anyhow.
