alright mistaspakkaman?

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:26, Reply)

Indeed I am.
It's gotten a lot colder round these parts lately, but fortunately, I now have my brand new Hat of Win to keep me warm.

oh noes
How did that happen?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:37, Reply)

the bff moved her ex in, I can't stand him
so, we probably won't be able to exchange gifts until after christmas, and I'm not staying there while he is so on new years I'll not be drinking.

tell me more of your hat
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:41, Reply)

Any particular reason why you can't stand him?
As for the hat, it's a Russian hat that not only looks amazing, but is pretty good at keeping my noggin warm on a cold winter's day.

the very first night I met him he made a nasty remark about me, ignoring that he treated her like shit, he's a loser
I think we need a picture of your fabulous hat
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:00, Reply)

I'll post a pic shortly...

In Soviet Russia, hat wears you!

( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:00, Reply)

It fits so snugly it actually feels like it's wearing me.

( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:04, Reply)

As long as it doesn't try to assimilate you.

( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:16, Reply)

Actually, I like it so much I wouldn't mind being assimilated by my own hat

Wore enough warm clothes to keep me warm on my bikeride home for a change. How's yourself?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:38, Reply)

Not bad
Spent most of the day in town or in the coffee shop. Hot chocolate and black coffee is an odd combo but it works. Now I'm mostly listening to the moldy peaches and drinking beer. Worried that i'm getting slightly obsessed with them!
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:41, Reply)

Hot chocolate and black coffee sounds like Win
but placing mouldy peaches in my beer somehow doesn't seem so appealing.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:47, Reply)

Huh.
I bet you could make beer outta peaches......
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:52, Reply)

I'm not sure what you'd get if you ferment peaches, but I doubt it's beer.

( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:57, Reply)

Well in that case....
Maybe add some peaches secretly to some beer that's brewing? Enough to give it a peachy flavour without turning it into not beer?
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:58, Reply)

You could make peach schnapps
and that is lully.
( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:59, Reply)

Never had peach schnapps...
I've had peach brandy before. That was.... interesting?
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:01, Reply)

Have had Apricot Brandy
but from what I remember, it tasted more like brandy than apricots.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:03, Reply)

It smelt lovely
But mostly tasted of cleaning chemicals. Very much reminded me of when I was tiny and ate strawberry smelling soap to great dissapointment.
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:07, Reply)

But that's cheating
but nevertheless, I'll try some sometime. Did once have some fruity beer in Poland but I don't think it was peach.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:01, Reply)

peach beer is fucking ACE

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:04, Reply)

It... Exists?
:D

If my house wasn't already packed full of booze
I'd buy a whole mess of bottles.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:33, Reply)

It is FUCKING FREEZING in Trashford
and I think one of my toes has frostbite. Tomorrow I have my work thing in Lille and am wondering if, between strikes and snow, we'll get back in one piece. I don't want to be stuck in France all weekend...
( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:50, Reply)

oh la la
why not? I can think of worse situations
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:53, Reply)

Because it's apparently even colder in Lille and I'm a bit broke
so I can't really enjoy it - of course if I'm stranded E* will put me up, along with the rest of the team, but I'd rather like to be curled up in my flat all weekend ;) Lille is better when I have cash!
( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 19:59, Reply)

I hear ya
I got extra cash last week, it broke my heart to spend it :(
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:06, Reply)

I have had an indeterminate sum enter my account this week from my evil grandmother
which will tide me over till the 23rd, when I get paid :)

Greetings Maladelica
Maybe your toes need individual mini Hats Of Win.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:00, Reply)

I have the biggest, fluffiest, bobbliest socks on.
I wish I could wear them outside the flat, they are aces.

My Hat of Win

is here.

( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:28, Reply)

Wahey!
That's a fantastic fucking hat !
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:34, Reply)

Win is the word, sir.
That looks like an exceptionally warm hat. My friend Hannah bought one like that in Prague and refused to be separated from it for some time.
( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:48, Reply)

I want one
but I'd look like a plonker
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:55, Reply)

So would I!
I prefer my little black cap.
( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:56, Reply)

I can sympathise
I want to wear it indoors too!
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:14, Reply)

you'll end up with
sweaty ears!
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 20:56, Reply)

It's mostly for outdoor use
and if the ears do start to become sweaty, I can untie the flaps and let them dangle to let in a cool Arctic breeze.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:15, Reply)

hur hur hur, you said flaps...

Now, if my hat could transform into a laser-firing robot
it would be almost as cool as one that could transform into a helicopter.

my friend
had a cthulu hat made for me. It's awesome, it has tentacles
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:36, Reply)

Do you have a pic?
And can the tentacles be used to tie it?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:41, Reply)

:( i just realised I left it in the ex's house
i have apicture, but its on suckbook and it doesn't show it very well

the tentacles don't tie up, they have wire in them so I can position them for maximum brain destruction

EDIT: here it is

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:44, Reply)

Looks cool
but the tentacles may be better served dangling downwards to keep the ears warm.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:54, Reply)

yeah, although it does mean I will be able to hear nothing
I will have to do a ninja-run on my old house and get it back sometime soon.

You should definatly keep the facial hair, it looks good.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:04, Reply)

I'll keep it for a while yet
but I've decided it's a seasonal thing, so my face will only be in bloom in the Winter.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:16, Reply)

Keeps it warm, I bet.
I sometimes wrap my hair around my throat like a scarf when it's long enough, and I can't imagine why anyone would want short hair when long hair keeps your ears warm so well!
( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:18, Reply)

I like to hold a strand between my lip and nose and pretend I have a moustache

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:25, Reply)

I've found I can twist mine into teeny tiny dreads.
Then I rage because it's not straight any more!
( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:27, Reply)

I sometimes like to shave off everything except my soul-patch
and pretend I've got a miniature mimsy on my chin.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:29, Reply)

In this day and age, that means shaving the lot off.

( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:33, Reply)

But my chin is 70's themed

( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:42, Reply)

It wants you to fix its fridge?

( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:51, Reply)

I doubt you get as much pleasure from rubbing it

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:35, Reply)

It's ornamental only
and is therefore non-functional.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:37, Reply)

I hope you don't keep it on for long

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:41, Reply)

I'm not much of a fan of soul-patches anyway
but if I decide to shave off my beard, I leave the patch on just for a bit to see what it looks like. And I pretend I'm viewing some 70's pr0n.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:45, Reply)

Do you talk in a Barry White voice when shaving?

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:49, Reply)

I'd have longer hair if I had the patience to grow it
but mine tends to turn into an Afro when grown.

But for now, my facial hair makes a good substitute for all my long-hair needs.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:27, Reply)

Do little plaits in it
like a Viking!

You know it makes sense.
( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 21:30, Reply)

Could try that, or make 'em smaller and have dreadlocks
Closest I managed so far was a solitary ponytail.

( Maladicta, Thu 17 Dec 2009, 22:06, Reply)

So I'm thinking
I might shave my beard off shortly - it's my only (visible) grey hair and the double chin it was originally grown to hide is disappearing. The question is, what stages should I go through on the way?

For instance, were I to just shave the area directly below my lips I would have an epic Amos from Emmerdale moustache/sideburn combo, but that rules out shaving the side bits first to get a goatee. Decisions, decisions.
