oh yes, and another thing: work is dull. Please be entertaining at me, either on this entry, or on your own journal. Here are some ideas:

- tell me jokes.
- debate interesting philosophical issues.
- which are better, badgers or sheepies?
- Fish. Bicycles. Why not?
- anecdotes from university
- silliest goth quote/outfit/lyric you've ever seen/heard
- What's wrong with owning Kylie's Greatest Hits on CD?

- What's wrong with owning Kylie's Greatest Hits on CD?

If you don't know, then truly you have been turned to the cheesypop side, and must be pitied by all and sundry!
May passers by in the street know your pain and pity you for it.
Just.....*shudder*....NO!

Got this from an Aussie friend on a music discussion list:
The ground war in Afghanistan heated up yesterday when the Allies revealed
plans to airdrop a platoon of crack French existentialist philosophers into
the country to destroy the morale of Taliban zealots by proving the
non-existence of God. Elements from the feared Jean-Paul Sartre Brigade, or
'Black Berets', will be parachuted into the combat zones to spread doubt,
despondency and existential anomie among the enemy.
Hardened by numerous intellectual battles fought during their long
occupation of Paris's Left Bank, their first action will be to establish a
number of pavement cafes at strategic points near the front lines.
There they will drink coffee and talk animatedly about the absurd nature of
life and man's lonely isolation in the universe. They will be accompanied
by a number of heartbreakingly beautiful girlfriends who will further
spread dismay by sticking their tongues in the philosophers' ears every
five minutes and looking remote and unattainable to everyone else.
Their leader, Colonel Marc-Ange Belmondo, spoke yesterday of his confidence
in the success of their mission. Sorbonne graduate Belmondo, a very intense
and unshaven young man in a black pullover, gesticulated wildly and said,
"The Taliban are caught in a logical fallacy of the most ridiculous. There
is no God and I can prove it. Take your tongue out of my ear, Juliet, I am
talking."
Marc-Ange plans to deliver an impassioned thesis on man's nauseating
freedom of action with special reference to the work of Foucault and the
films of Alfred Hitchcock. However, humanitarian agencies have been quick
to condemn the operation as inhumane, pointing out that the effects of
passive smoking from the Frenchmens' endless Gitanes could wreak a terrible
toll on civilians in the area.
Speculation was mounting last night that Britain may also contribute to the
effort by dropping Professor Stephen Hawking into Afghanistan to propagate
his non-deistic theory of the creation of the universe.

Badgers!

[gnimmel.livejournal.com]

Badgers. Absolutely. Badgers snuffle, have stripey heads and burrow in the earth. Sheepies stand in fields looking spaced.

There are a number of fish which live in the Cam, the bottom of which is more-or-less bicycle-lined. Therefore I conclude that actually there are some fish which have a use for a bicycle; they live in it (rather like using men as tables, or something...).

Do fluffy bunny slippers as part of a full goth outfit count?

Absolutely nothing is wrong with owning Kylie's greatest hits on CD, and huzzah for bouncy pop.

Considering that the Cam is England's most radioactive river (or at least was a couple of years ago), it wouldn't surprise me if the fish mutated enough to be able to ride bicycles... ;o)

Crumbs, you learn something new every day. :)
I'm surprised, though: I would have thought rivers in areas with lots of granite/radon gas problems etc. (Devon and Cornwall primarily) would have been more radioactive.

Best goth quote ever: "I remember when all this was Fields of the Nephilim."

i own all but three of kylie's non-compilation studio albums, so i'm definitely in the nothing wrong with owning a kylie cd camp. :-)

Sheep are better, cos they can be turned into cuddly jumpers and delicious meals.

As for anecedotes from uni - hmm, well there's the first time I got so drunk I threw up, and then there's that really weird night in the Zodiac, but nothing too exciting really......

Forgive me for going all old and boring here but shouldn't you be in the "not reading LJ" camp if you are at work? With full time jobs its not a great idea (as I have found out in the past and other people have commented relatively recently) but when you are temping and are thus removable from the job with virtually zero notice I would suggest that if you are bored you do not go on LJ but find ways to amuse yourself otherwise. Just think about stuff, plan stories, work out what your RP characters are up to, plan your weekend... Anything that isn't generally considered to be a sackable offence really...

Sorry to be big and scary but I thought this before when you have posted from work and I feel it is something I should say.

I may have missed it and it may be that you have big periods of no work but even if that is the case they generally are not happy with people clearly dossing.

Yours
