Gibberings CLXXXIX - Squirrel Nut Zippers, the Albert Hall and going cookerless

[alasdairm]

Oh and don't worry Alasdair, I'm not questioning the stance on BL... just making some philosophical conversation out of it all.

me too

[Chatative]

It is a bit strange, but I'm getting back into the swing of it... guess I'm forgetting my place without the added responsibilities to iron my poor sense of humour.

Morning EADD,

I've had a grand total of 2 hours sleep & feeling fresh for now but something tells me I'll be hitting a wall at some point. No doubt I'll be back in bed during the day... :D

 

[Erikmen]

Me 2. Haven't slept at all so far..

 

[Chatative]

I take it you are chemically-assisted?

Morning Sir I managed 4 despite the benzos, I think IO may venture into the garage to start work on reviving the the iron horse...once I've had this ludicrously strong cup of coffee

 

[Erikmen]

Not at the moment- sadly no, except for a few mg of relaxants. Bromazepam.
Have quit methadone lately. Not easy..

 

[gardenlane]

The strongest coffee and work for me sadly! But it's a Saturday. Which means.... coming home to get more sleep. How exciting

 

[herbavore]

Hello, EADDers. I'm wandering aimlessly around Bluelight tonight stopping in to rant about about my car woes in Philosophy and Spirituality (with no rhyme or reason), adding my (devalued) two cents here and there in my home territories and just wanted to say an actual hello here. I lurk from time to time as Allein and Shambles know, partially because I like the vibe and partially because the mods are some of my favorite people on BL (past and present mods, I should add). I should probably go outside and take a real walk since it is a glorious big moon night. So, good morning to you all, since it must be about 7 am over there.

 

[Sadie]

I, for once, am off on a Saturday. Still up early like a complete tit though. I have my plans for more sleep however.

Chat, that's well hard going, 2 hours sleep. Get some sleep man!!! Allein, you need more sleep too!!! Ummm, coffee..... sounds lush! My cafetiere was broken sadly. No tasty coffee for me. 8(

I feel your pain Gardenlane. Tis usually me going on about work on a Saturday. Hope your day goes smoothly.

 

[gardenlane]

Thanks, Sadie! Hopefully it'll fly through!

Your always more than welcome

Shame your so far or you could pop to my work shop of iniquity, I'd probably not fix the car but it would almost ertainly loom better spayed matt black ( or indeed army green with random bits of metal welded to it for no particular reason

Garage Allein is a hive of activity this morning, I'm hoping the beast ( no Shambles it is not a fekin moped) will fire into life later today, just off to the petrol station so I can feed the beast

 

[SummerSerenade]

Good (?) morning folks.

Slept for about 20 minutes, had a nightmare, woke up and have been completely unable to doze off again so have been lying awake with my mind racing for 5 hours. Not tired but feel emotionally drained and in need of a hug or someone to talk to but since neither look likely I may just stay in bed and hide under my duvet all day. Got to sleep eventually right? I haven't taken anything so :/

Hope everyone else is having a better start to the weekend.

 

[Shambles]

I have my plans for more sleep however.

Dems plans is good plans, m'dear. I am enjoying an extended weekend breakfast and hope to catch you later for lunch. Yum

Hello, EADDers.

Hello, your good self, Herby. Nice to see you around these parts - and in full Text-O-Vision for a change at that

Good mooning and hope to see you pop in for transatlantic tea more often

... ( no Shambles it is not a fekin moped) ...

Oh. Is it not then?

*whistles innocently*

You know it's only moped-envy on my part - SoviScoot is looking mighty fine on recent pictorial evidence. I can't drive but I still want one

 

[Eveleivibe]

Herby I agree with Allein - you're always welcome here. It's nice seeing you in EASD

Edit: cant fkn sleep either. So much for exercising I feel like death. And im planning on going down to 2 mg subs today instead of 4 mg. Ugh!

^ your message is mixed, evey. you're telling us we should just take comments like this as a joke and lighten up. now you say (essentially) that it's problematic.

i agree with shambles on this. i also like the "Would you say this to the person's face?" rule. the security and relative anonymity of an internet connection seem to make it easier for people to post comments that, at best, lack compassion and are often just thinly-veiled hate.

i hate to paraphrase but some responses seem to be, essentially: "i don't find that distasteful so you shouldn't either" which seems pretty illogical, at best.

alasdair

Comments like what? Someone, chatty I think, was going on about a sense of humour n I agree saying my friend has a sense of humour n it makes thing that seem worrisome, more lighter somehow. What comments exactly?

Morning EADD

Lol you guys took me way too serious yesterday, meanwhile i was just xanaxgibbering
i have never been racist, and i have no problems with any kind of disabilities or and i have a huge amount of respect for people who manage their lives like that. I would tell them that in their faces, nothing is wrong with cos playing, but tho they are too old to understand it so it might seem offensive to this two particulars and that's why i'm saying i'm sorry if you are offended.
I have met people with dwarfism before and they are hella funny and they do joke about their size when you get to know them, you gotta be tuff to make it in this world. I'm just gonna delete the post and never talk about world of warcraft again, cause you people are just way too serious sometimes. Do any of you actually have a job that's working with disabled? So please... you can just pm me if you have problem with me, please enlighten me with how disrespectful i am, basically i dint called them ugly of nasty, the idea from world of warcraft popped in my head and i just shared it in a buzzzzy moment, i don't agree with plenty of posts here, but i don't make the drama out of em. It was about world of warcraft and i thought they would look GREAT AND PRETTY AND VERY COOL!!! but that was my personal opinion taken in a wrong direction, anyway whatever 1000heads 1000opinions, but i chose the wrong forum.

I'm completely out of this discussion and please just buzz off.

And I agree, Night Elfs are also really pretty

Good day y'all.

 

[Septonn]

Good morning you beauties,

Didn't sleep much either but I'm feeling suprisingly rested! Seriously annoyed with my GF for not keeping promises atm but she's out of town for a couple of days, the sun's shining and there'll be plenty of fuckedness tonight so can't complain really

 

[lurching]

I have met people with dwarfism before and they are hella funny

 

[p4nda]

Skipped through some of them posts earlier P4nda and tbh they seemed bad taste and patronising to say they least. It's not about being serious or easily offended its about fair judgements of others etc.

Anyway probably best to forget about it cos I'm sure you're a decent person- we all say stupid things from time to time.

well that's a thing that was taken wrong, they seemed perfectly cute to me and i was just excited about seeing them, my gaming heart overwhelmed me here and it might showed that side of me i never talked about on here yet. You're completly right sir, i'm bits weird sometimes i wouldnt post that in a current state :D

Ahhh that's what they're all going on about. I never saw this post but don't worry about it. You've apologised for whatever you said n hayho you don't make it in EADD until you've had some controversy LOL. Wait until you meet my friend, Raas, if you've a sense of humour you two will prob get on ace.

From what I've seen of you you don't seem like a mean person n have always been lovely here. I've been bullied due to my disability n I've never in any way found you that type of person.

Its probably all be misinterpreted. Can we all just move on yea?!
