I think we should try to cheer up, but more than just "I've had a good day", let's go for a full scale happy OT!

Realistically, we were just bandying words round the office, and someone asked me this question, I just though it would be interesting to get other people's too.
Still, I'll go kick a child so I can get back into the OT mindset *smack*
Cunt!
Much better :D

It was the phrasing that tickled me and made me think you were 12

It took me about 10 minutes, and I still couldn't think of a better way to put it!
Any suggestions will be happily considered!

I think THAT was my favourite time ever. Either I have short -term amnesia, or I'm very easily pleased, or I have a natural joie de vivre, or all of the above.
So last night was my favourite day ever.
Anything involving shitty little fariground rides are also my favourite day ever. Dance-offs with strangers too.
I'm off again...
EDIT:
and when you wake up with dried club-mud on your arm and you have bruises.

I know that much.
I'd been acquaintances with a girl for years, we'd never got on that well, but I got on with her friends, and vice versa.
Then, over about 6 months of texting, phoning and emailing we developed rather deep feelings for each other. She lived in Southport, while I lived in Congleton, it wasn't easy. It was nothing official, but still felt like it.
I had a week booked off work, where I would be travelling up to see my old friends, and would be only a bus ride away from Southport, so I decided to make plans to see her. She sounded as excited as I was, and so we agreed on a date.
More than a little bit nervous, I got on the bus, and travelled to see a girl I hadn't seen in the flesh for over a year. When I got to her house, I was directed to the top floor, where I found her sat on her bed, gently dozing. I lay next to her, and kissed her gently on the cheek, waking her up. That was at 10am.
We didn't leave that bed until 8pm. We spent a few hours having the sort of fun you'd expect, but the rest of the time we just lay cuddled into one another, feeling the others skin pressed up against us.
I ended up staying the night, and we did the same.
When I left the next day, I promised I'd see her again in a month or so, as we began to make arrangements to go away for a weekend together. That was the last time I saw her.
About 2 weeks later, a girl I lived near (who I'd been chatting to for a while) admitted she fancied me, and asked if I liked her back. I admitted I did, and she proceeded to ask me out.
Blah blah, long story short, I called off everything with the girl from Southport. I have no regrets for choosing the congleton girl, I had two wonderful years with her. But I still feel like a bit of a tool when I think about how I let Southport girl down.
But I still look back on that day with happiness, and always will.
I'd apologise for length, but neither of them seemed to mind.

( , Thu 11 Jun 2009, 11:59, Reply)

then arranging to go away for the weekend with her then cancelling it all in a couple of weeks and going off with someone else makes you a dick.
Even if you have no regrets.
( , Thu 11 Jun 2009, 12:04, Reply)

It does make me a complete and utter dick.
I have no regrets for the relationship, not for letting the other girl down, that is something I still feel guilty about.
( , Thu 11 Jun 2009, 12:07, Reply)

we've all done it.
Maybe she went off the idea after that day too. Maybe it was just a nice isolated thing.

Brings back memories of bus-trips to Southport with my first proper love. I was seventeen. *wavy lines*

Whereabouts are you from?

and I didn't think of the 'chewin a brick' part until I actually typed "Are you talking to me?"
It's made me giggle.
( , Thu 11 Jun 2009, 12:09, Reply)

I'd have been non-the-wiser but I'd have thought you were 'a bit posh like'. And inbred.

One thing always amused me about the Skem/Ormskirk divide.
Everyone from Ormskirk though that Skem was full of scum, and was dangerous (pretty true)
Everyone from Skem thought that Ormskirk was full of poncey tossers who were just as scummy (also pretty true)
Yet the only time I ever got jumped, was while walking down the poshest road in Ormskirk. Was funny watching the posh arseholes trying to explain that away.

I also went to school in Crosby, with kids as far as Southport one way, and Aigburth the other.
Strangely, there was no class divide. Even in a private school.
Never quite got that...

Neither, thank god for Assisted places, haha!

I've heard St. Mary's is a right rip-off.
I used to pass Merchants and sigh wistfully thinking "I bet there are boys in cricket whites in there right now".
Again. I was 17. I'm sensing a theme for today.
( , Thu 11 Jun 2009, 12:27, Reply)

I was there between 1997-2000.
Might you have been trying to perve on me? Haha.
St Marys was always full of tossers, so I never really regarded it!

Isn't he the one who supposedly raped that girl in Barbados?
( , Thu 11 Jun 2009, 13:01, Reply)

but in 1997 none of that had happened and I had a crush on him. And I was too old for him. But he was legal so it's ok.

I was talking to you while chewing a brick
*chomps brick in a manly fashion*

that fell out of a crack in my bedroom wall. I was 17 then as well. Must've been when it all went wrong. It was nice. I only nibbled at it. I love chalky crunchy things

I think the first Aussies were all scousers anyway. You know, convict ships and other stereotypes
EDIT:
I could edit it to say 'ladylike', as I'd intended. But I'm more like an Aldi than a lady anyway...

That was a brilliant drama about scousers going to oz.

And it's probably line-broken to hell!
EDIT: Ah well, it'll be tl;dr'd anyway :D
Although that morning it had been pouring down with rain, the only sign of this was the large umbrella she had been made to carry with her. The sky had cleared and the grass they sat on was warm. It was a rather large umbrella, which was quite inconvenient, but for the time being it lay amidst the food they had brought with them. The temperature – hadn’t they had a conversation about the temperature a few weeks before? – was ideal, crisp and cool, not quite autumnal but certainly not like August, or July. There had been fewer presents this year, but she didn’t mind. She hadn’t asked for much; she had felt she didn’t deserve the kindness of others. Of course she wanted them, but wouldn’t that have been selfish? There had been money, there had been jewellery. Those black shoes she had wanted, she had those. Yes, a size too big, but nothing an extra pair of socks wouldn’t fix. The best (or the most meaningful) was the poncho. Made from heavy blue thread of different shades, she had drawn comments from the teenagers sitting in the park. Can I borrow your picnic rug? Where’s the camel? It didn’t matter that ponchos had become severely unfashionable quite a while ago. It didn’t matter that she was unlikely to wear it again. It was hot, but that didn’t matter either. It was cooler in the shade, sitting under the trees in her poncho. All that seemed to matter was the person who had given it to her – the black-haired boy who had walked the wrong way up the train platform that morning.

I don't even know what happened that day. Possibly I got a bill in the post and ran out of bread. Some mundane shit like that. I do know that in comparison to 2nd July 2008 there were rainbows and bluebirds and motherfucking sunshine because it was the last truly great day: 24 hours later, Off Topic appeared.
