Yawn...
bored, so I just made flapjacks.

Will my hip expansion never cease?
( thealternativefact, Sun 13 Jul 2008, 19:07, Reply)

oooooo Flapjacks!
I'll contribute syrup.

Anyone have butter?

Edit: I call it "Maintaining my girlish figure" rather than hip expansion.

How are you, Flirt? Have you had a good weekend?
( thealternativefact, Sun 13 Jul 2008, 19:17, Reply)

@ Cle
My normal quiet weekend has been altered by a sick kid. But she is well enough today to terrorize her sister so all is now well in Flirty-world.

@ Ms. A
How do you make your syrup? I do 3c sugar, 1c water, maple flavor and boil.
And building a shelf among all that? You are making me feel lazy. I should really build a shelf or something.

Ah, I forgot the sign.
For I am a total newbie.

Thanks for the lovely comments in my post too :D

edit: @ancrenne - I have my book, my knitting (my one concession to girlishness), my DS and my ipod. I've also made sure to charge my phone and make sure all my clothes are lying out and ironed.

So I don't have too much stress tomorrow (other than Edinburgh's bloody roadworks diverting the buses...)

I'm jolly good thanks. I take it from my skim-reading of the last few chats that Brighton was good.

@Storm - I take it you aren't in favour of the Edinburgh trams then? I have yet to speak to someone who is. Stupid waste of money, IMO.

@Storm
No, a bit further north - Dundee area. But I do enough travelling to see the chaos round the capital at the moment. Why they didn't just build a rail link from the airport is beyond me. The railway line runs past the end of the runway, and there's that old MoD site which is being demolished that would make an ideal station location. A couple of million quid on a station and shuttle buses and it would be sorted. With minimal disruption.

Except the powers that be decided on trams. Which are just buses that can't get out of the way.

RE: BGB's cleaning: you are da man
@ Ms. A: your version of syrup sounds yummy! That is funny that it takes you so long to build a shelf. I don't build often but I do tend to re-finish furniature. I have several pieces that I've been putting off for a couple of years now.

@ Stormy One: I've only played a Mario car racing game on the DS but I was absolutely hooked! My kids have some friends that are a couple of years older than them. Whenever the friends are to come over to play, I always tell them "Don't forget to bring your DS..."
Right now I'm hooked on this game that I got off /links:
www.onemorelevel.com/game/hedgehog_launch

So, to sum up, as it is only 2pm here, I have now ordered a pizza and put the kids in the bath. I think I have now been productive enough to deserve a break.

I worked in the games industry for about a year, and during our lunch breaks we used to have DS tournaments. :D

@Everyone else - all this talk of baking is making me hungry!

Thank you Ms A, I think I shall.
Has anyone tried this new Coke with Lime? Yes I know it has been around for a bit, but it takes me longer than others to try anything new. This stuff is really good.

Edit: @ Stormy: That is cool. I think DS tournaments may be a bit advanced for me. I'm still trying to find a version of mahjong that I like enough to download. The last one I liked was from far too many years ago in computer-land and had tiles that were made for little kids so it made spotting matches really easy.

aren't healthy, Kaol. They just pretend to be, as they're full of oats. But in reality they're held together with sugar and fat.

And they're much nicer than American chocolate, which tastes vaguely of sick.

tis college accomodation so my computer should still be good to go on it. At least until September, might be a problem after that, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Meh, and I start full time at work tomorrow... oh the infinite and inexpressable joy I'm feeling right now.

Yeah she'd gone to work at 9am and hadn't called home or answered her phone when her mum called. Shes 26. So her mum turned up at mine and made me call her, and then took the phone and bollocked her. Then invited me for dinner.

Odd night all in all.

@Z
Sounds like you had a fun but exhausting weekend.

Yay to moving out your house of wankers but boo to no Internet access.

@ancrenne:
Very well...

* changes subject *

If our friendly knife expert does cut us up into our individual bodyparts, instead of putting us back together as ourselves afterwards, perhaps we could be put together as one single b3ta mega-person.

What
the hell is this B3ta marry shag kill thing that rswipe brought up? Although I'm so tired I almost wrote sharry mag till

EDIT @Ancrenne, yeah, her mother loves me. Everytime I've been around she's insisted on feeding me or cooking food... I got a very apologetic and embarrassed call from the girl the next day. Then she called me today saying she misses me and wants to meet for a coffee. Hmm.

Body parts? Beds?
Too many variables.

Size? Type?

For example...
If you take the entire abdominal contents of 5 average-sized men, you can put them in a bed in a roughly man-size pile, put a sheet over, position a scalp at the top, and then wait for a someone to get a mighty surprise.

Not sure
She said she'd call me on tuesday or wednesday. But given she's already turned me down I don't know whats going on... she probably just wants to be friends. Think I may play it cool and go along but only for half an hour or so.

The b3ta mega-person Transformer
I was trying to think about what vehicle it would Transform into, but then realised that if it contained all of us, there wouldn't be a need to go anywhere, so a vehicle seems a bit pointless. Perhaps it could Transform into something else.

@Z
Sounds like her mother has too much of a grip on her.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 0:27, Reply)

Yeah
She hates it a lot of the time, she tries to be as independent as possible but her mum is a tough lady. I think she just worries about her, because she's quite touchingly vulnerable in many ways.

@ancrenne:
Yeah, I know!!!

I'm just wondering if there's a cure for this.

@Z: Maybe she's just feeling bad about turning you down. Or maybe she wants to do the 'friends with benefits' thing (although my money's on the first option). Either way, you'll have a new friend, or at the least, fill the coffee-void that's in your stomach.

As far as her mum goes, perhaps she should just tell her mum directly that she's old enough and independent and that she can run her own life. This probably seems naive, but that's my answer to everything in life.

Meh
god knows. Have to see. I think its more the friends thing. Personally not going to rule out anything more, but the ball is in her court.

I wish the ball was in her court.

*Sniggers*

Yeah she has screaming arguments with her mum then crashes round mine bitching about it or calls me up in a fury. I think her mum is just v protective of her, especially after her dad died.

Cut off the sepals? It won't last long, you're right.
Kind of the flower version of skinning leading to exsanguination.

@Ancrenne
Yup, she's had a hard time recently. Really miss hanging out with her... and if something develops, then thats great, but the prognosis isn't great. And if we're just friends, then I can live with that, just need some time to get over her.

The site with marry shag kill has some very strange music on...

@Zapiola
I see just what you mean about needing some time to get over her. But if she saw you as just a friend before you were turned down, she may not see your need for wanting to be apart for a while.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 0:52, Reply)

Well
she kind of knows all about it... because we got drunk a while ago and ended up kissing, and then talking... meh. I dunno. I want to be her friend, but I'm also kind of in love with her and more would be good... but I also enjoy spending time with her as a friend.

Its complicated.

Anyway, first full day of work tomorrow, so I'd better be going to bed. Especially since tomorrow night I have to scrub this place clean before leaving.

Oh the fun.

G'night Zapiola
Once you get over being in love, the friendship will still linger on if you keep it up. This has happened to me a few times.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 0:59, Reply)

I dunno about that...
If I was in love with someone (Not that I'm sure that could actually happen...) and they just wanted to be friends, then surely it'd be a position to abuse accidently with your underlying feelings?

"What do you think about my new boyfriend?"

"He's rubbish. I saw him jerking it to kiddie porn."

"That monster!" *cries*

"It's ok... Come here..." *offers shoulder*

For the record, I'm just assuming this could happen. I don't know for fact.
( Cawl, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 1:07, Reply)

@Kaol
If you have the self-control, you woudn't let your underlying feelings get in the way. And besides, she could probably see through you badmouthing her new BF.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 1:16, Reply)

Self control?
*shrugs*

My self-control is limited to not calling idiots at work, family members, morons in shops and the police, "cunts". Beyond that, I pretty much function on whims.

Like I said, that was a hypothetical situation, anyhow.

@ancrenne
"I think that unrequited love is a weird one. One that requires the lover to behave very well, to respect the feelings of the beloved and not expect them to feel the same or fall into the trap that Kaol suggests."

I'm with you on that.

"If this is hard, I think it's fair for the lover to remove themselves from the beloved"

True that, but if the beloved wants to do the "let's just be friends" thing and the lover removes themselves, the beloved may just think that the lover is only after one thing or doesn't want them as a friend.

"it's not the beloveds fault the lover feels the way they do and they have no duty to deal with those feelings"

But they could at least respect the other person's feelings if they don't want to reciprocate. The best way IMO is to let them know you're taking them seriously and you understand the way they feel. I admit, it is very tough for the beloved. They have to turn the lover down in a way that causes as little pain as possible. They're in a no-win situation because no matter what they do, they'll hurt them the short-term.

"But then I think love is a very strange concept."

Sometimes, I think love has similarities with some mental disorders (especially the mood-swings part).

G'night A & K
Just thought I'd tiredly answer before I go to bed.

"1) Only if the person behaves in a way which commands respect."

I agree wholeheartedly with that one!

2)They could, yes, but they do not have to. Through the actions of another person, they have been put into a situation that they did not ask for or want. No-one has the right to expect anything of anyone else in those or any/many other circumstances.

Truth, but if they did follow point 1, then if the beloved speaks their mind, that may be enough. It is inevitable that during the course of life, people will be put into situations they did not ask for or want. Being on the recieving end of unrequited love is just one such situation.

Anyway, I'm also too tired to be sensible anymore, but in the meantime, some of the how-to-dump-someone advice mentioned in this post can also be useful for when you're turning someone down.

Right, that's me off to ZZZ land now. G'night.
