Faute de Mieux
"Travel, trouble, music, art,
A kiss, a frock, a rhyme.
I never said they feed my heart,
But still they pass my time"
[Dorothy Parker]
Did someone mention procrastination? *wink* Anyway, today I have to thank Arch for helping me to lose my blogger virginity - how on earth have I managed to use the internet for the past eight years without wandering into one of these? One of those mysteries of the universe I guess... Enough rambling for now though - hopefully some actual coherent thoughts will wend their way in here soon.
*peers around at the company she's keeping and starts to have doubts...*
Random Quotables
"A bloke keeps ringing me and singing 'Stand And Deliver' down the line. I keep telling him he's got the wrong number, but he's adamant."
"'Machina improba! Vel mihi ede potum vel mihi redde nummos meos' is Latin for 'You stupid machine! Give me my soda or give me my money back!'"
"Only 60% of people in internet chat rooms actually laugh out loud when they type LOL. Significantly fewer roll on the floor laughing, approximately 12%, though its hard to measure as they generally fall out of view of the web cams used to gather the information. But, by far the most disturbing trend is the 5% to 6% of the Internet Chat Room Populace that have begun to laugh their asses off. ER rooms in America & A&E in Britain have reported a 4 fold increase in the amount of Internet Related Ass Prosthesis (IRAP). The problem is compounded by huge numbers of people falsely claiming to LMAO & causing a misdirection of essential ass saving resouces. So the next time you read a pithy comment on an internet chat room/bulletin board - THINK before you TYPE. "
Thank you to HedgeWytch and the good people of IWOOT.com for sharing those.
