Got Anything Random To Say

Post Reply New Topic

The other day, I was on Sefton station waiting for my train (for AGES) and I became so engrossed in what I was doing on my phone, my train came into the station, sat and then drove off. I didn't even realize it had come until it was heading out of the station. ("SH!T - I missed my train")

Sometimes, hyperfocus is not a good thing!

But I'm not sorry I have that ability. Most of the time, (especially when writing TCP/IP programs for UNIX), that level of concentration is magic! I've programmed straight for 20 hours, not stopping for bathroom/drink/food breaks. TOTALLY LOST in hyperfocus!

Dry Gin is good stuff. Smells sweet. Tastes...dryish but with the juniper aftertaste.

Mixed with the usual tonic water and you have a pretty damn good drink.

Quite bitter and bland, though. So, I can see why it's not for everyone. My mother thinks it's disgusting.

I can't do a french braid. I suck

Why is it that some people marry people old enough to be their parents? I'm sorry, but I find it unsettling.

The Copycat AIPA beer tastes like liquid molasses.

Not too bad.

A few weeks ago my closest friend told me I'd make a great father one day. I'm not sure how I feel about that

hmm...

I accidentally set my steam vegies bag to cook for 23 minutes in the microwave (it was only supposed to be 2 mins 30 sec). Oh well at least I have more bags.

the darker the sin!

Think the problem is that net curtains aren't really in fashion anymore.

No body has them. everyone seems to have blinds.

There doesn't seem to be adequate provisions in the way of hanging tools especially as modern window frames are upvc.

Sepp Blatter is an idiot.

Always nice when you dream of your ex and it brings back the feelz.

I haven't slept for about 17 hours. I already feel kind of strange. Hopefully I can get some sleep later today.

i just waked up me.

a rather difficult early evening i have had.
i have been plagued in a curiously almost comical way by complex considerations of my simple automatic thoughts.

it started when i went to the takeaway shop to get dinner. i wanted a 1/4 roast chicken (wing and stuffing) and chips.

a man walked into the shop who looked about 40, and he looked rather flea bitten in a way. he was wearing a beanie, and he was thin and he had some sort of hive condition on his face. his nose was red and he had what looked like many different sized itchy bites on his face. he was frowning and looked like he was not having fun.

i am rather paranoid about catching diseases from people and i always try to back away from people i suspect of being infected with something, but i was walking to the cashier to order when he intercepted my path and i glared at him and thought "back off germ bag!!" and i sidestepped him and i then reflected on what i had just thought and found it funny.

i looked at him quickly to see if he noticed anything bad, and he just looked flea bitten and my mind was taken to a vision of a dog snapping at flies that are bothering it all afternoon, and despite the size of the dog, the flies have worn it down, and i looked at the expression on his face and i then snorted in an attempt to prevent a laughter burst, but i was not successful and i chuckled in the most restrained way i could manage, and then i settled down a bit, but i was intrigued to see if he had reacted negatively if he knew it was about him.

i wondered what i would say if he got annoyed and asked me what i was laughing about.
i thought about it.
i surveyed all the caesar salads and greek cheese salads and other stuff they had in their display case, and i thought to say "i was just looking at all that food. it'll all be brown and in the toilet by tomorrow or the day after", and that tripped me into another bout of laughter, and i had to strain my torso muscles in order to brace myself as well i could whilst my order was being cooked.
i went outside to wait and i did calm down, but i was thinking of funny things all the way home, and i became mildly worried that i could not be serious. it is a strange feeling.
