Well I figured I drank a small glass jar of Kenco last night. We're talking 20 - 30 cups, drink that stuff like water. I suppose the sugar didn't help at all... whoooooops. I threw up shortly after that post (bet you all wanted to know that!), after I had a smoke. I didn't mind, I just felt sorry for my poor dog who got in the way... >_< And hello Lilt, I'ma back! Hopefully to stick around....

Does anyone know how many cups of black coffee (three sugars) are needed to effectively A) Give you a slight caff' overdose or high, B) Make you sick or, C) Kill you? I'm really not feeling too well now after a 24 article writing coffee marathon, guys =(.

Very nice. (You're doing BA Creative Writing? Ditto.) I enjoyed the use of language the most. For any short piece I normally feel they're undeveloped and flow too fast - but that's my overall opinion of short pieces. They're not my favourite in terms of writing (and I write [i]****[/i] short pieces by the way =D). Just to name a few of my favourite phrases throughout: [B]"How could they let this guy paint the kitchen with me?"[/B] [B]"I could hear a shriek through the walls, rising and falling in octaves."[/B] [B]"I screamed, expletives streaming out of my mouth like gasoline. I wanted to run, but my feet were anchored to the ground by my confusion."[/B] Only to name a few. The entire piece is pretty much composed of selective little bits of excellent word play and quite a masterful use of the English Language. I like to see that, because you don't actually see it often anymore (even in published work). The words look, sound and read beautifully. I enjoyed the first few paragraphs with the train scene and the last few moments in the kitchen, not to say the rest wasn't interesting. The only thing I can say but cannot offer any advice is characters. Charlie, at some points, didn't seem real to me (well he probably wasn't but I'm sure you'll get my drift). I couldn't imagine that kind of action from a real person, or certain phrases. This is a difficult one for me to explain (let me tell you I'm certainly no critic either) and I've struggled with this throughout my own degree course. If I read some of Charlie's lines out loud then they don't seem real to me. This is only my opinion and, like I said, I've struggled with this throughout my writing. I've got an absolutely terrible habit of giving my characters crap realism. Just curious to know - have you ever tried Morning Pages? It's basically getting up at stupid o'clock (7am, 6am, whenever) and picking up pen and paper immediately. You write whatever comes into your head. It's normally nonsense but, when you have a good command of the English Language, you come up with a piece of amazing and creative word play (it may not make sense as a developed story of any kind though). Nevertheless, loved the piece, would like to see more =).

[quote name='Lady Shy' date='19 October 2010 - 12:58 PM' timestamp='1287489501' post='701151'] When did [b]this[/b] happen, and why am I not invited? [/quote] About three months ago, on holiday times =). Of course you're invited - you can do our photography ;D. I will, when they're older of course, let my children steal the 'don't f*** with my gay parents!' line from this video if they want. Yes, I'm do want kiddies; I can't wait for the gay video about that one....

[quote name='chibi-master' date='18 October 2010 - 02:40 AM' timestamp='1287366016' post='701116'] I got to the ninth person in the video and closed the window. Why would anyone think this would be helpful at all? This is not the way I want the gay mariage message to be spread. As a [b]homosexual[/b], I believe there are more effective and certainly more civilized ways to try and open peoples' minds. [/quote] =O. When did this happen? I don't agree with videos like this. I'm getting married next August (Civil Partnership, whatever). I don't ask for 'support my gay cause!' or an army of gays to defend me against the homophobes - I'm not the victim of abuse, poverty or drugs. I'm gay - cheers for fighting for me, but really, there's no need. This is an opinion I've had for a long time. It's a never ending battle but, really, society as a whole (or at least half of mine) accepts homosexuality. Videos and constant updates of 'support gay marriage on this random day for all the gay people out there' or 'wear ginger shoes today to support gay men walking around holding hands' are pointless. Just do as you do - videos like this divert from the fact a gay lifestyle is supported in general. I hate this kind of stuff. Same sex marriage is a little part of the equation that isn't really accepted. It doesn't hurt me and I won't make a case of it - marriage as such is religious to me. Even if there was no way for me to be in a civil partnership, I love my girlfriend and I'll still be with her. No worries - I'm happy. I'm as equal as I say I am. Things like this really make me feel less 'normal' and make me think I'm constantly fighting to be 'gay'. I'm not. And if I was, then I wouldn't put the message across as such like this video. Get a grip and stop wearing that horrible shade of pink....

Apparently Allamorph's been talking about me. I thought I'd come and see what's going down wit' yo' clowns....

"Such is the nature of the searcher, When you've had it up to here, and you don't wish to hurt'ya And I've got a big list of blame, And I will call out names, And I will fuel the shame that may Set upon society shows for generations to come, Comfortably numb from the barrel of the gun Before we have to break this world, Before we have to shake this world, What will it take to wake this world, And hear the silent sigh, the silent cry (Alone, alone, alone, not alone at all) If you've got no kind words to say, you should say nothing more at all." The Maccabees feat. Roots Manuva. Would recommend people watch the video. Very good. And: "In restless dreams I walked along Narrow streets of cobblestone Beneath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collor to the cold and damp Where my eyes were stabbed By the flash of the neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence." Oh, and of course, one of my favourite lines of the century: "Let's have some fun this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick." *goes off to get back to work instead of skivving*

Not bad, going to Uni in September. Have an NVQ Level 3 in Business Administration from work... going to study English & Creative writing, do a few courses in marketing, e-commerce, web design... hopefully [i]do[/i] somet' with it. It's not called Soccer it's called football anyway =p. 'Cause you kick a ball with your foot. And it's the World Cup so I'm allowed to be a goon about it.

You go away for like a year and everything changes. Except Allamorph. Why are you and your cats still here?!

[quote name='chibi-master']*SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!* Congrats! I remember taking my dog home he threw up on my sister's jacket. She's hated him ever since... Looks like a Jack Russel, maybe?[/QUOTE] [size=1]Everyone guesses that right! Yep she's a Jack Russell, and a really clever one at that. Unfortunately with a short attention span - when she goes to do her business and you take her outside just in time, she seems to forget what she was doing...[/size]

[size=1]I has new baby! She's 8 weeks old and called Pixie after Pixie Lott. She threw up on my girlfriend on the way home, does a wee only outside like a good girl but thinks she's allowed to poo everywhere else. We also have to take her everywhere (literally everywhere!) with us because she cries even when you're just in the kitchen and she can't get to you. Also she looks quite big but she's as small as an apple!

[size=1]I can't cook lol. Try this: Get some chicken, right, and smother it in honey. Like, LOADS. And cook it obviously. Then you make some rice. And you put honey in there. Not as much as the chicken, mind you, but you cook it with rice and a fat lump of butter. Then you go in the fridge, realise your girlfriend is moving next week and therefore has no food and stop to think for a minute. Return to the cupboard and get out some tomatos, chopped. Microwaved them for a bit... then run back to stop the microwave 'cause they were left in the tin. Further realise this is not enough food for a chef girlfriend who has said she must have more than three things on her plate. Make toast. Chop up the chicken and put it with the rice... and then add some more honey 'cause you really can't get enough of that. The effect of this meal: My girlfriend will never let me cook again. RESULT.[/size]

[size=1]I has new house wid gf =D. (We can't actually afford it until we both start our jobs properly mid September so we jumped on the benefits bandwagon lol)[/size]

[size=1]I'm off to Wales this weekend =). I don't know what the **** I'm going to do there.[/size]

[size=1]I have no problem sleeping away from home, comfy bed or not. A few places I've crashed: Bath (happens a lot at parties) Dog basket Table Corner Skip I haven't slept a full night outside though, ha.[/size]

[size=1]Long time. From the aid of drugs (I didn't say illegal, but... =p) or just by myself. I do have a very odd sleeping pattern. If I do sleep, I sleep for a long time and wake up through the night mostly. Generally I'm a lazy person so I won't even do much when I'm awake, but I can stay up for a very long time. Not that I'm proud of it, I go to sleep when I'm bored, not tired.[/size]

[size=1]Children should probably avert the eyes. [img]http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/pokemon-anus.gif[/img] I knew the game was full of dirty innuendos.[/size]

[size=1]The good thing about Lickatung, beside the obvious, is all it can say is either "Liccccckkkkiiiii" or "tuuuuuuuuung". Imagine that. Women need to be obscene and not heard.[/size]

[size=1]Lickatung is my fantasy ;).[/size]

[size=1]Nah Sandslash is gay. No other Pokemon holds its hands like that and tries to ***** slap people with its long nails.[/size]

[size=1]Haha I just realised Slowpoke and Snorlax must be the stoner Pokemon...[/size]

[size=1]I just think it's rather sad that people always pull the racism card. I wish I could do that.[/size]

[size=1]Syk and Roxie, you two both look quite awesome. I should attend a convention or something one day... hmm... And yes Raiha you do look nice too. You reminded me of a teacher in the second one haha. Anyways, me and the cockney girlfriend. You can't see her hair in this picture but it's quite awesome to say the least.

[size=1]Just tracking back a bit... I said that boys do talk about bowel movements ie my brother, Alla said because he's family. Well I just found out he goes on Facebook on the toliet and tells people =/. Apparently '[his] friend Matt does it as well'. Mental scaring.[/size]
