i was just showing some aussies around my city this week. they're from tasmania
(tuqueboy has been in a medically -induced coma since, Sat 11 Jul 2009, 6:33, archived)

Oh yeah? Tassie is kinda the butt of all jokes here.
Tassie is further south then I am, but I'm about as far south as you get before swimming to Tas!
Whereabout in Tasmania are they from?

Nice.
I've always wanted to go to Canadadialand. I hear they have real proper thick snow up there in winter.
/has never seen snow.

it was a shit winter this year. far too much snow. two feet in one day, and when the wind blew it around, the drifts were four feet high.
(tuqueboy has been in a medically -induced coma since, Sat 11 Jul 2009, 6:39, archived)

four feet high?
holy crap. that's like...shoulder height on me!
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 11 Jul 2009, 6:41, archived)

not usually...
toronto's not usually that snowy in wintertime. it's a pain in the ass to shovel.

Tug, send some this way.
Norwich needs more snow...

i'm shocked
what kind of cheap slut does he take me for?

how...
are you feeling, by the way? you were laid-up for a while, no?
(tuqueboy has been in a medically -induced coma since, Sat 11 Jul 2009, 6:48, archived)

I'm okay.
My back is almost better after tearing a muscle in it two weeks ago (finally have a near full range of movement!), and am just starting to get over my wisdom teeth being yanked out on Tuesday. These two weeks break have been crap! /laughs
And you - how are you?
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 11 Jul 2009, 6:54, archived)

doing alright.
still at the office at the moment. wisdom teeth are lots of fun to get out, aren't they? i looked like a bloated chipmunk who'd been orally raped.
(tuqueboy has been in a medically -induced coma since, Sat 11 Jul 2009, 6:55, archived)

aha yeah they're a scream.
I was looking very Sigrid Thornton-slash-chipmunk for a few days. Now I'm just back to chipmunk. It's very noticeable because my face is fairly angular normally, and I'm all puffy.

What're you doing in the office? sticking googly eyes to everything?
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 11 Jul 2009, 6:57, archived)

heh, no.
that'd be fun. actually still working.
(tuqueboy has been in a medically -induced coma since, Sat 11 Jul 2009, 6:58, archived)

working? as in actual work?
WTF man - you're on b3ta! Procrastinate! that's what it's for!

can do both, believe it or not...
waiting for a few stories to come in, then have to edit and slap into the paper.

are you a journo then?

(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 11 Jul 2009, 7:02, archived)

bingo...
i work in the sports department.
(tuqueboy has been in a medically -induced coma since, Sat 11 Jul 2009, 7:03, archived)

Nice.
I'd like to be a journo but at the same time I wouldn't. I love writing but not for deadlines. And so much of the news seems to be about pain and misery and suffering. If I'm going to write I want to write something happy!
Is it a major paper you work for?
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 11 Jul 2009, 7:05, archived)

deadline writing...
is a skill that not everyone has. i've seen brilliant writers who churn out drivel when they're forced to work quickly.
(tuqueboy has been in a medically -induced coma since, Sat 11 Jul 2009, 7:14, archived)

See I can do it, I can do it really really well,
I just hate it. Give me thirty minutes and a opinion topic or a topic with basic info and I can churn out about 800 words. I do this really well for exams in school - I just really dislike it - and don't see the point in writing like that when it takes all the pleasure out.
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 11 Jul 2009, 7:19, archived)

I'm in a travelodge
not too bad really, but the location is fucking naff. Right next to the main road.

But I am near the GCHQ. yay
