So tiiiired...
But no chance of sleeeep.
I said I'd stop at the end of the second Coke.
So Thomas bought me a third one. Which I finished. Oops.
Maybe I'll go to bed anyway. The later I go to bed, the earlier I wake up, and it's already eleven o'clock.
In other news, tonight was the talk from some guy at ProgSoc on Open Source or something. He seemed to spend a lot of time saying things to the effect of "So. What do you guys think of PostgreSQL?" and expecting this to be enough. I started zoning out when they got into a deep discussion of various virtualisation technologies - it was all very knowledgable, but not really my interest, and certainly not my field. He also went on a moderately long rant about his dislike of MySQL. And Squiz - it's a shame Rob missed that one, though I have a feeling he wouldn't have contributed much beyond "OHGODSYES" or something along those lines.
SHIVERING!
For dinner, we (Noah, Thomas, Nora, John, Jedd, myself) headed to the Lansdowne. Nora did her best 'turtle' impression when people (primarily Jedd) made jokes that she disliked. And I had three Cokes. Oops. I broke Jedd's brain a little by failing at pop culture; yay for me.
In other other news, I have no idea what I'm doing this weekend.
I might wind up doing something with Chris, but he's supposed to be either babysitting his sister and her boyfriend, or going to Ikea to find furniture. Plus he wants to visit Smash on Saturday and "annoy Rob" (assuming he can actually get a hold of Rob - I get the impression there will be a certain level of 'Running around like a headless chicken' involved on Rob's part). But if the "coming down with something" he was complaining of today continues, my bet is he'll be flat out in bed trying to sleep it off.
So. Any bids?

Norton: What's the rule? Half your age plus seven? ...Hmm. My girlfriend's not quite twenty one. I'm a dirty old man! Yes!
Brinton: Dirty old men get all the fun.
Elmin: Says the toyboy!
Mm: I still have my Tetris cart for the original Game Boy. 'Course, it's my brother's; I'm fairly sure I hadn't been born when that game was released.
Will: Really? You were alive in the eighties, weren't you?
Mm: A very small portion of the eighties...
Will: How old are you?
Mm: ...
Will: I know, I shouldn't be asking a lady's age.
Mm: I was born in 1987.
Will: ...Wait. You're a year younger than me?
Mm: ...Yes?
Will: I thought you were older than me!
Mm: ...Why?
Will: You seemed it.
Mm: What about Chris?
Will: He seems younger than me. Much, much younger.
Mm: He's turning twenty two next month.
Will: What?!?
Geal'K: So, let me get this straight. You attend E.G.G. events, but don't actually play any games. You attend the AGM, but as soon as EGGLAN starts up, you go home?
Will: She's here for the social.
Mm: You had this conversation with Chris; I remember him telling me about it.
Geal'K: Yes! Why do you turn up, and yet never do anything?
Will: Because they have another club to look after, as well as work. *to Mm* ...Sorry, I should let you answer questions that are directed to you.
Mm: You more or less answered how I was going to, anyway. ProgSoc has a room, which I practically live in. I'm secretary.
Geal'K: Do you actually do your job as secretary?
Mm: Mostly?
Geal'K: Then I accept your reason.
And since I wasn't lying about the whole "Having to be at Uni early tomorrow morning" thing, I really should go crash.

PS: I stand corrected. The Game Boy was released in 1989. |

Some of the quotes from the past couple of days (that I'd forgotten to include previously). These are at least some of the ones Thomas wanted, I think, plus some other stuff...
Dedney: What game consoles were they playing in 1986? Like, Atari?
Mm: Can I make him feel old? Can I? Can I please?
Dedney: What?
Mm: I wasn't born in 1986.
Dedney: Dammit, now I do feel old. I'm supposed to make other people feel old, not the other way around...
Nora: So, who's the oldest one here? *Points to DCom* You?
DCom: I'm only twenty four... *Point to Thomas*
Thomas: I WIN!
Dedney: Would Britney Spears make a good Prime Minister?
DCom: I dunno, I mean, look how much care she takes of her child: "Hmm. Can't hold two drinks and a baby. I know! I'll drop the kid!"
Nora: I can't believe two guys instigated a conversation about Britney Spears...
*Dedney is telling Michael Jackson jokes
Mm: Knock knock.
DCom: Is this one of your father's?
Dedney: Who's there?
Mm: Michael.
Dedney: Michael who?
Mm: You're on the jury.
DCom: Definitely a John Colville Joke.
Dedney: I don't know, it just seemed like a standard DadJoke to me.
DCom: Yes, but his jokes are typified by an additional layer of terrible puns and the like.
Dedney: It's like the Bat Signal! "We need a bad joke! Quick, light the DadLight!"
DCom: What would its symbol be?
Dedney: A cat... Beside a sleeping student.
*Mm is playing music from her iPod over some speakers. Thomas is in one corner of the room, studying. Rob is in the other corner, completing an assignment. Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton starts playing.
Thomas (via MSN): What are you trying to do? Put Rob into a sleepy stupor?
Mm: Heh. Fine. I'll change it...
*Mm hits fast forward; track is changed to Fallout Boy's Grand Theft Autumn.
Mm: Better?
Thomas: He's starting to twitch more animatedly already!
*Mm is wearing her Year 12 jersey, which has the words "I'm normal!" embroidered on the front below the school emblem.
William: Margaret, that's a lie...
Mm: ...Oh. You didn't know I had that?
:D.

EDIT:
*Mm is reading one of Shaun's assorted webjournals; the entry in question is a meme.
Shoulder Angel says:FOUR COSTUMES YOU'VE WORN ON HALLOWEEN
1. Nothing
2. Nothing
3. Nothing
4. Nothing ...naked's a halloween tradition in your house? :P
Shaun says: err, sure is
Shaun says: I like to have whole day showers |
