Good morning sunbeams
It's Thursday today. The start of the weekend. What does your day/night have in store?

Alt: if your 16 year old self could see you now, would he/she be happy? Or would he/she kill themselves instantly rather than turn into that middle aged twat? What advice would you give the young you?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 7 Nov 2013, 8:04, 103 replies, latest was 11 years ago)

Today will be focused on work matters, together with planning what I will do with micro this weekend.
I will tell the 16 me not to smoke, to spend less money on cars, booze & clothes and more on property.

Shalom Bitches.
Today I am at work. Tonight I'm going to go to sleep.
Alt: I wouldn't give me much advice, other than get a haircut (cos chicks dig me with short hair). I'd just say keep doing what you're doing, you turn out to be a fucking awesome d00d. Maybe *try* a bit more education wise, and don't stay in that fucking job for ten years, resting on your laurels, it turns out to be a huge waste of time and you get proper mugged off in the end.

Dinner with Ladypigs dad. He's a twat. It will be shit.

Working til about 7, then heading home to watch TV and do fuck all
That's the intention anyway, what's more likely to happen is that I'll get bored at 6, and go to the pub.

Alt: He'd be disappointed that I'm in a relationship without cheating, as he was a bellened.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 7 Nov 2013, 8:53, Reply)

I would tell my 16yo self that I'm awesome, but to pay a lot less attention to chasing girls, as that will come in time, and more to my education, as that won't.
I'd like to think that a 16yo me would listen, as I wouldn't think I was quite that much of a dick.

Alt: FREE PIZZA!

because I spent so much money on them, they made me start doing things like walking home, which is about 6 miles. I don't care if it's psychological!

"engrossed" being employed in the same sentence as "new Bridget Jones (book)"

Doesn't make it "worthwhile"
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 7 Nov 2013, 9:47, Reply)

depends how you define "worthwhile"
if people enjoy it/it makes them laugh/it makes a lot of money.... those are all good reasons to do something.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 7 Nov 2013, 9:48, Reply)

something making a lot of money alone
is not ever a "good" reason to so something.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 7 Nov 2013, 9:49, Reply)

i disagree with this, if nobody is harmed by it, blah blah
it was her job. fair play to her for writing it and doing well. and it made a lot of money for her agent/publisher/all the people who worked on the films... lots of employment there, so lots of people benefiting from it...

of course, it doesn't work as a sole motivation for everything.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 7 Nov 2013, 9:52, Reply)

You can't make money without harming someone else.
because - here's the clever thing - there's only a finite amount of money. So you aren't making it, what you are doing is taking it off someone else. And taking money off people to perpetuate Bridget Jones is basically a criminal atrocity.

just because I am a prick

( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 7 Nov 2013, 9:43, Reply)

me too
i mean, she didn't sell any copies at all, so therefore made them no money. and money isn't the point of publishing at all, because it isn't a business like any other business.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 7 Nov 2013, 9:43, Reply)

I mean that they generally publish literary fiction rather than chicktion

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 7 Nov 2013, 9:46, Reply)

i know
so imagine this, right, you get this popular column, and the possibility of publishing it in book form, and it's clearly going to be a best seller and make a lot of money, but it's just not quite right genre. so you'll let penguin have this one, eh?
