Wombat's Whimsical Wonderland of Random Banter #188 (now with more puns!)

[DraPrime]

Very jealous. That sounds like it amounting to be an exciting trip. Are you there for business? Pleasure?

Pleasure. Since I've been in Europe to visit my family, I thought I'd swing by Rome. I have several friends studying at the Pontifical North American College here, and I wanted to visit them. Besides, we seminarians tend to like the things that Rome has to offer.

There is a joke i could make here that is in incredibly poor taste. But I will instead ask, "what the heck does THAT mean?"

Well unless I'm mistaken, priests and stuff worship, and thus please, God. And, in turn, gain pleasure from it.

So yha, just a little joke on my part

[DraPrime]

Technically, lack of pleasure is my business.

[LaZodiac]

I've explained my point above.

I prefer LaLa's explanation, because it creates far more awkward images in my mind.

ION: Stayed up 'til 4, woke up at 6:45, went to work at 8, chugged a Rockstar as I inhaled a sandwich around 12:30, left work and went to a workout at 1, got home around 3:30.
I'm basically awake because I won't be sleepy 'til later. And I'm going to a gaming session at 6 or 7 (the game rarely starts before 7... actually, I don't think it ever has).
tl;dr I don't know what I'm doing but I think I'm doing it right.

High five for no sleep and a session today! (not that I'm in your gaming group, unless I really don't know my friends very well).

Although, I can't say I normally get 3 hours of sleep; I average around twice that.

I usually go for 6 hours, but last night was just kind of... not a good night for me sleeping, really. It happens sometimes; I'll just kind of look at my bed, think "I should sleep", and then realize that's really unappealing and go back to what I was doing. Also, it was more like two and a half hours of sleep :B
And unless you're in New England, you're not in the group. If you are, it's still unlikely but it's possible.

-highfive-

I finally found enough peace of mind to crawl away into a remote corner and read my new Mouse Guard book. And... Well, I think my words are failing me. I once said that the first book is one of my most treasured possessions. I hereby add the second book to the collection as well.

Just finished reading Through a Narrow Gate, t'was fun.

So, it's Thursday. I went to sleep for today 16 hours and 14 minutes ago. I woke up, went to school, and spent the entire first period grinning like a dead person out of total mental meltdown. Second period, which I ended up having abandoned the homework of last night/morning was basically be bablbign about anime to two classmates who turned out to be anime nerds. By lunchtime, I hadn't eaten in sixteen hours. Lunch was spent in the room with the teacher running the "Visit France and Spain over spring break!" group planning the trip, which I'm going on this year. Third period, well...

We finished the movie of MAAN, then listened to him babbling aobut the presentation we will be giving for another half hour. Then he gave us the MAAN test, with one hour to do it. I finished in fifteen, the next kid to complete fifteen minutes after that. I spent the rest of class dodoling away in either backwards cursive, or quoting poems about death with the Discworld Death interjecting at points to complain. Turned in my what ultimately became a seven-page book summary and wandered out the door.

After that, on Thurdays, I take Honours Ancient History, so the next half hour was the teacher and I debating about Machiavelli, details of Aesop fables, and completely alienating the others. Woo.

When I got home, I spent the entire time cleaning up the house for Dad, who was returning from Prague after spending ten extra days with my grandmother there. He brought me so much chocolate.

This is the firs time I've relaxed since I woke up, if you count my fitful five hours of sleep relaxing. And I'm oging to Mock Trial in five minutes.

Also, I've made ymself sick by staying up so lat,e I've got a bad sore thorat.

BUT I ONLY HAVE TWO CLASSES OF HOMEWORK DUE TOMORROW!

Where in France/Spain are you going?

What's MAAN?

Alienating people is not as easy as it seems. Also, The Prince is satire (although you probably knew that).

Chocolate is always good.

I commend your work ethic and condemn your lack of proper rest. Especially if you're making yourself sick from it.

ION: Killed a bunch of orcs, although our warlock died (and I was running the char because she had to work, so I feel a little guilty (not much, though, because it was during an ambush, and she didn't have time to act) about it).

[Drakeburn]

Today was a rather interesting day.

I discovered that I DO have Photoshop, but it is an older version, and in an older computer that doesn't have internet access for some strange reason.

So in time, I might make my own avatars in time.

(Warning: Amateur avatar artist)

Oh, cool. Photoshop's fun to mess around with.

(I promise you're a better artist than I am, unless not drawing anything for two years has made me significantly better)

[Drakeburn]

(I promise you're a better artist than I am, unless not drawing anything for two years has made me significantly better)

Oh believe me, what I'm going to make is probably the first avatar I ever made.

(I had another artist do my avatar for me. Not exactly what I predicted, but it is still pretty nice)

And so starts the argument of who is worse at making avatars: me or Amidus Drexel (and I'll bet what remains in my bank account that I'm worse. lol)

Oh, I'd take that bet. I'd take it all the way to the bank, because of psychology. You are attempting to draw avatars - this means that you have a desire to draw things, and at least nominal levels of ability. Speedasaurus is NOT attempting to draw avatars, because art either does not interest him, or he is bad enough at it to not even want to try (if it's the latter, he is similar to me in this regard).

As for me, I don't know if you were around when I posted a sample of my handwriting, which is on the same level as my art, so I'll put that picture up again:

That would be one more than me.

I don't take bets unless I know I'm right (I have made some money that way). I'd have to see your art before I took you up on that.

I haven't tried to draw anything (besides stick figures) in about two or three years, and I wasn't very good then. I might give it a shot later, but drawing really isn't something I'm good at. (it's always hands. How the hell do you draw hands right?)

Well, that's not the worst handwriting I've ever read, but it is the second-worst.

Are those psychology notes?

[Mynxae]

You should see Ele's. It's worse than mine, and that's saying something.

ION: It's nearly done, IT'S NEARLY DONE! *dances manically* (Runes of Magic! MMORPG! Took 24hrs to download! A bit over 24rs to patch! So FREAKING EXCITEDDDD!)

I KNOW, RIGHT? HANDS ARE THE WORST.

Well, that's not the worst handwriting I've ever read, but it is the second-worst.

Fun fact: due to the fact that I don't have to write much by hand now, my handwriting has gotten worse since I took those notes two years ago.

Are those psychology notes?

Ironically, yes. I didn't realize that at all before I said I'd take that bet because of psychology, but it dawned on me afterwards.

[Amidus Drexel]

Is yours worse than Dimonite's? (I don't really have any frame of reference but that)

Gah, those and feet, too (although feet can be put into shoes or covered up with scenery pretty easily). The next thing I draw will be a person with their hands and feet cut off.

I still doubt it's worse than this one guy I know. At least I could pick out the words "Sigmund Freud" with only a glance at your paper; I have to spend a few minutes/sentence deciphering this guy's handwriting.

As for my handwriting, it's only good when I expect other people to have to read it (or if I have to read it again later). If I can find my physics notes, I'll show you the difference between the two (the words are illegible, the formulas are very neat).

[Dimonite]

Someday, I plan to invent an index of handwriting quality, with my own handwriting as zero. There may be negatives, but they will be few and far between.

Paris to Barcelona, and I think we're passing through some historical Frenchy places. Fontainbleu, and stuff. 10 day trip.

Much Ado About Nothing

Yeah, when I go on a history spiel I alienate people. Also, that's a theory, and one I think is credible, but you can't state it as a definite truth.

Yeeeep.

I'm not sick, I just have a really really bad headache, sleep bags after one week of school, a sore throat, and I sneezed a bit during opening statements.

Also do your homework!

I will have to submit examples of my own for reference, then. (Note: the illegible scrawls were written while looking at the board, and not at the paper)

Ah, cool.

...TO GOOGLE!!! Ah, okay. Forgive me for not being familiar with that (as I feel I ought to be).

...I feel like one of us is using alienate in a way I'm not familiar with, and I don't think it's me.

Given the circumstances under which it was written, I highly doubt the book was a work of serious advice. That being said, "any well-done satire is indistinguishable from sincere extremism", and vice-versa.

It's an exclamation - "TO <place>!!!", in this case to search for something, and find out what it is.

I find it hard to believe that you can lose friends (or earn disrespute) by talking about history.

Yes, I know, however I have no idea why you need to be going to Google to google something.

Nah, just out of the conversation. ALso, I never said they were friends. And considering the way they roll their eyes when I start asking question, I may actually be earning disrepute come to think of it...
