Yesterday Thesme foolishly sent a text from Forn Parts to boast she could read lj comments to her journal on her phone. So I decided to test this and also find out just how long a comment could go - all in the name of science, you understand. It took me 2 goes (hit submit instead of preview the first time) but I got there - 4300 characters is the limit.
4300 characters of pure rambling drivel. Well, 8000 ish really, since it took 2 tries. Which she ran out of phone credit trying to read.
Meaning me = TEH WIN. hah!
It's amazing what you can find entertaining when you have nothing else to do ;p

Then I spent some time ordering lovely treats for myself from Lush and checking the progress of the Amazon order.

The question now is, what do I do to amuse myself today?

Please to give links to these comments.

Also you do realise that she will enact retribution? I hope you're prepared...

um.... well, here (http://thesme-01.livejournal.com/244295.html), but serious, they're not worth reading. At all.

Which makes it all the funnier that she had to PAY to read it ;p

It was these two gems that made me realise that the weeks of sitting around being fed Tea and Cakes has finally made her lose her mind.

I'm quite jealous. I'd love to laze about the house today, reading comics. Instead I'm being bored in an office, with only the GL for company meaning no small talk at all to make the time pass. Pah!

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
ooh comics! that's what i can buy today, more comics! hurrah!

Poor you tho, stuck with that evil crone all day, hopefully the afternoon will pass quickly!

[identity profile] fragglechick.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm currently reading It's a Bird by Steven Seagle in graphic form. It's really really good, if you're looking for something a little different...

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I think i might get a couple more volumes of Preacher, which is excellent. Some more lucifer too. Tho I'll look out for that one too, anything different is good to try ;)

Hahahahahahaha! Go hellison!

I'm still trying to see what facebook's all about. I've searched for people with my surname - there's quite a lot! And they're all in Norway! I wonder how many people on facebook share your surname, eh?!

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, A Great Many I'd imagine ;p I wonder how many of them there are in Norway tho...

Careful tho, last time we talked about surnames, we ended up with Wingnut!

[identity profile] lazy-hoor.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh god, yeah...

I think facebook has no point exactly - it's just a chatting place I guess with the walls and things - they call it a "social utility" and we have used it to set up things which people can say they are going to and things by creating a group.

It's quite fun and if you join networks you can do things like advertise things for sale, arrange meet ups etc.

Any hoo enough rambling about face book!

Hellison - Simpsons porn is the way forward for amusement today - if not closely follow it by learning to play blades of grass - A life long talent that I guarantee will get you out of a jam one day!

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah it does seem like it'd be handy for organising stuff and keeping in up with folk - a bit like LJ without all the actual blogging ;)
Looks like theres still plenty of fun stuff to explore on it too, so it'll keep me amused for a while longer!

Simpsons porn you say? Sick woman.

You can syndicate your LJ so it appears in the notes field. Apparently.

it's amazing what you can find on the internet!

I think facebook has no point exactly

I always thought that "stalking cute boys to find pictures of them" was the point?

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Well now THAT is a point I can get behind!

*goes a-stalking*

[identity profile] shambelina.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
too much effort - just get your office to employ 4 sandwich year students in 2 weeks - that works I think 2 of them are cute - ones a bit toffy and the other needs to move out of his mums!

[identity profile] caramel-betty.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
See, that would be great but:

- my group used to have a bunch of geeks on the same floor as us, who got occasional cute summmer / sandwich year students
- someone thought it would be a good idea to move them upstairs, and put accounts and the IT guys on the same floor as us - they never get cute summer / sandwich year students.

*sob*

Send me your cute men. Ta.

It's accounts these are in - you're obviously doing something wrong!!!!- you prefer Oliver or Michael?

MIchael is young and impressionable and a little wild looking

Ollie is on facebook - he's not a student per se but he's maternity cover and someat nice to look at

Oliver Pilgrim - he's nice and also hilarious!

[identity profile] caramel-betty.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, from the thumbnail he has potential. Send close-up photos. Ta.

Accounts, accounts... we have a quite cute contractor in accounts, in a butch rugby player sort of way. He doesn't quite grab my attention though. Possibly because he's an accountant. Were he a geek then... hmm...

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe we could set up some sort of cute guy exchange scheme?

Tho I think all the ones at our place got transferred away elsehwere. They might have some new ones in now tho!

[identity profile] caramel-betty.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps your cute people are now working in [livejournal.com profile] shambelina's office. And she is hoarding them all for herself.

Mean. :-(

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-07-05 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You could be right, I wouldn't put it past her!
