Have you ever reconnected with long-lost friends over the Internet? Overall, have the relationships you've rekindled been more meaningful or superficial? Are there any people you wish you hadn't run into again online?

Yeah! First was Chris (Not Sex Pest Chris, the other one) who, well, he knew Lucie's friend and Lucie was introduced to him and mentioned him to me and it all sounded a little bit familiar, so she brought her friend into an msn conversation with me, and then her friend brought Chris into it. And it was good for a while.

And then in it's usual fashion, things went bad. In their case, it's been superficial. Just rekindling a friendship for the sake of rekindling a friendship from his childhood. Well, more my childhood cos he was 10 when I was 5 and he was 15 when I was 10 and left the GS.

And the there's Sarah. We were good friends in Range, so we're friends via facebook and we message each other every now and again. It's cool.

And I pretty much try and avoid everyone else from Range, the GS and Formby. The GS because, apart from Barry, I've only had bad luck when I've re-met people from there. And Range and Formby because, well, I was pretty much an outcast. The majority didn't give me the time of day back then so I see no point in giving them the time of day now.

From this point onwards, post a different icon for every entry until you go through ALL of your icons. You can NOT repeat any, even if they are relevant to the topic of your entry, day of the week, way you are feeling or current event.
If you add any icons after starting, they must be used too.

You CAN go out of order
You CAN work your way through them by a selected process
You CAN use more than one version of the same Icon if they have an obvious difference. (I.E, the difference is the color or has text on top, but not if the difference is the font type used or hue/contrast)
You CAN NOT, SHOULD NOT, MUST NOT repeat ANY of the same ICONS.
You MUST post this first entry with your default icon.
If someone asks you about your icon, you MUST explain it’s origins.

If you Repeat an icon and have to start again, you have to use this and your default icon as an indicator that you LOST (Ha ha!) and are starting again.


I saw it on a random LJ and thought it was cool.

Now for the rant:

I HATE WRITER'S BLOCK. IT FILE-SYSTEM-CHECKING SUCKS!
I don't think i'm ever gonna finish Circles :(

If you could choose a $1,000 gift certificate for one online store, which would it be and what would you get? Would you share the love with your friends?


View 351 Answers



It would be play.com. I'd get a load of CDs i've still yet to get on my catch up list; just for the purpose of using play.com, i'd also buy a blackberry from there, and then i'd share the rest amongst my parents, nana and friends.

If any of you are Sorkin fans at all, you will Love this article:

http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/09/06/aaron-sorkin-west-wing/

It talks about how Sports Night and Sorkin's style and how important it was in the 90s. Also mentions West Wing and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. And that, sadly, Sorkin seems to have moved on from TV series. Which is a shame cos he's practically the god of Comedy Dramas. And the Pedeconferencing used in House, ER, CSI and many other shows was Thomas Schlamme's cash cow technique.

...Even though we had it in The Bill all those years ago, first. But he made it famous in America. And he used it in Sport's Night.

Then he used it as a gag-reference used in a few episodes, where characters will be waking-and-talking through the corridors, stop and ask each other where they're walking to, or why didn't they stop before when they went past the cafe or that another person has to keep up if they wanna get out what they want to say before the corridor-meeting finishes. <3

I believe a similar thing was used in House when House and Wilson walk around in a square and House goes back into his office and Wilson "Didn't we just leave your office?" and House says, "I like to walk".

Even though Thomas Schlamme and Aaron Sorkin have never worked on House, Bryan Singer Loves the technique!

Lucie came today to have some dorky fun before she leaves for University again tomorrow.



This pretty much sums up what we did. Pringles, Jaffa Cakes, Fun with Photobooth on mac and Music.

Good times!

Edit

This is MAD. It takes 4 hours and 21 minutes to get from LONDON to GLASGOW when it used to take me 5 hours to get from LIVERPOOL to Northampton and reverse.

Now they've changed the journey route and times so that it's only 3 hours.

Even madder is that I want to go on an even longer train journey from London to Anywhere, as long as it takes over 5 hours. Cos 5 hours can pass in a blink!

What is the worst piece of advice you've ever received?


View 512 Answers



"Wait it out for things to get better."

Things hardly ever get better if you don't try and fix things. That piece of advice was the equivalent of telling me to bury my head in the sand, which was the opposite of helpful.

If you could travel back in time, what advice would you give to your younger self?


View 552 Answers



I feel like Arnold Rimmer.

From age ten and onwards, start standing up for yourself. Trying to fit in won't work and will upset you even more. You're different in every possible way, revel in it instead. Stick to Laura, cos she actually likes you and you don't have to try. If you ever find yourself arguing in the canteen with a crazy brunnette girl, either walk away and talk to someone or slap her first before she slaps you.

And when you have an argument later on in your teens with someone you think is your best friend, don't be afraid to go crazy and say everything you wanted to say. It'll make the argument better and you'll feel better for saying it, because otherwise you'll hate yourself for not saying it. And don't give them any second chances.

Remember, stick with Laura. Don't let anyone's jealousy become a problem and make it clear that you Hate the nickname "Squid".

When things go wonky, which they unfortunately will, don't bottle up and cover yourself under lies. Actually admit that somethings wrong.

And one more thing. For the love of god, don't run out of room 7. You'll know what I mean when the time comes. Don't do or say anything, just sit there and smile. Play it cool like the Chibi you are. You'll find out what Chibi means when you're 13.

And you also might wanna lay off the Back to the Future, Ghostbusters and Dracula: Dead and Loving it quotes in year 7. No one in your year, until year 10, gets them because none of them like good films. Until year 10 when a really cool band sing a song about BttF, that is.
Same goes for Demolitian Man. Specifically, don't ask "What's your boggle?" to William or Mike. It's not worth the hassle. You'll know who they are once you start Range.
