Yay, Thursday is OVAH

Back and forth and back and forth. I'll have to check, but I think that I walk about two miles every day what with the going to class and going to work and stuff. OH MY POOR POOR FEET

Fortunately tomorrow I only have one long walk, that being from work to the bus to go HOME. Yay.

At work today Steve decided that the reason I spent a week at John's is because John and I are, in fact, not friends, but FRIENDS. You know, "friends". This amused me ever so. YES, WE DID ALL SORTS OF NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY THINGS... LIKE... REWRITE CHINESE TV TO BE ABOUT GIANT TURNIPS

Two of my classes have weekly lab things in a Mac lab. This annoys me. Not only can I not visit SocialMUX while in lab (unless x.n ssh page works, I'll have to check), but the mice are... well... weird Mac mice. Entire top of mouse is one giant button. ENTIRE TOP. Guess who has a VERY heavy mouse hand and tends to lean her hand on the mouse? Oy. MISCLICKS AHOY POKEY

Also, I bought volumes 2 and 3 of Chobits manga at bookstore today. BAD Jenny. Now I owe mom even more money! But at least I now own every volume of Chobits that's currently available in this country, at least until volume 4 hits the street next week.

Toes.

Poor TOES. I feel for them.

Macs are good! Are they running OS X? (You can tell by the extra-lickable candy buttons, which are shiny and blue.) If so, go to /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and presto! You're in UNIX-land, where telnet abounds, and the toes roam free.

As for the mice, any USB mouse will do, if you have them lying around. Plus that way you get shinies like wheelmousing and the right mouse button instead of ctrl-clicking everything.

Naughty giant turnips.

*wink*

Uh, I didn't notice any candy buttons. The power button lit up blue when it was on...

Also, I really don't see them looking too kindly on my disconnecting and reconnecting mice every time I'm in there, sadly.

Shh... that was supposed to stay secret!

[identity profile] wing-zero-ew.livejournal.com 2003-02-06 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Naughty giant turnips never stay secret for long. I mean, there's all that gossip about whose giant turnip it is, where it came from, and then there's the rampant speculation and rumor-mongering and eventually you have people trying to compute the growing season, accounting for local rainfall last year and hoping against hope that it isn't somehow their responsibility. Really just best to get it out in the open now.

IT IS OUR LOVE TURNIP!!!

IGNORE THE MECHA, PEOPLE, HE IS JUST BABBLING NONSENSE

Do not deny our turnip! It loves you!

[identity profile] napoleonherself.livejournal.com 2003-02-06 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It might be yours, I wouldn't know what YOU'VE been doing, but I do know that it is NOT mine! Do not cast such aspersions on me, you stupid, stupid mecha!

[identity profile] wing-zero-ew.livejournal.com 2003-02-06 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
IT NEEDS YOU

I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WATERING AND WEEDING IT ALL BY MYSELF!

Awww... come on. Just look at its cute little leaves, and that shiny turnip skin. It's the cutest vegetable on the face of the earth. Yes it is, yes it is...

AND IT NEEDS A MATERNAL FIGURE IN ITS LIFE

[identity profile] napoleonherself.livejournal.com 2003-02-06 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I AM NOT GOING TO HELP YOU RAISE A TURNIP, NO MATTER HOW CUTE IT IS

[identity profile] wing-zero-ew.livejournal.com 2003-02-06 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
DON'T MAKE ME TAKE THIS TO VEGETABLE FAMILY COURT. THINK OF HOW THE POOR TURNIP WILL FEEL!

[identity profile] napoleonherself.livejournal.com 2003-02-06 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Seeing as it is NOT my turnip, I don't particularly care. STOP MAKING THESE CLAIMS ABOUT WHAT WENT ON DURING MY STAY IN YOUR APARTMENT GOOD SIR

[identity profile] wing-zero-ew.livejournal.com 2003-02-06 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
*sniffle*

FINE

I hope you'll at least visit from time to time. I'll try to speak well of you to the turnip, although it may have questions about the JENNY THAT RAN OUT ON IT WHEN IT WAS STILL A LITTLE BULB.

Big meanie.

Dare I mention that turnips neither speak nor comprehend English?

[identity profile] wing-zero-ew.livejournal.com 2003-02-06 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Interestingly enough, Giant Turnips can learn a variety of languages.

They seem to have a genetic memory for chinese as well, but only in the form of stilted, melodramatic soap opera dialogue.

Thus, you sometimes have to translate their moods a bit. "I am doomed! Doomed! DOOMED!" might indicate that the sun has gone behind a cloud and the turnip is unhappy about such.

Generally, it's like dealing with a teenager. They grow out of it eventually.

I shall teach little Mecha Junior the finer points of Latin. It will help us while away the long, cold nights WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING AROUND ON YOUR OWN, ABANDONING YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES.

WE HAVE NOT HAD A TURNIP TOGETHER. IT IS A HALLUCINATION. PLEASE REALIZE THIS BEFORE I HAVE TO GO AND BUY SOME MORE GOOD YU-GI-OH CARDS WITH WHICH TO TAUNT YOU.

Ignore him! They're lies, all lies!

She is the liar! She's denying the past!

AND OUR TURNIP IS CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE

POOR LITTLE TURNIP!

This has nothing to do with turnips.

Hurry hurry, click on this link today! (Unless you're a paid Modern Tales member...) Actually, it might work all this week.

EAT TURNIP

[identity profile] napoleonherself.livejournal.com 2003-02-07 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I approve highly.

[identity profile] napoleonherself.livejournal.com 2003-02-07 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA

[identity profile] wing-zero-ew.livejournal.com 2003-02-07 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
WHAT A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE THING TO SAY TO YOUR TURNIP

[identity profile] wing-zero-ew.livejournal.com 2003-02-07 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
You approve of all sorts of things though. This means remarkably little.

[identity profile] napoleonherself.livejournal.com 2003-02-07 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
THAT IS NOT MY TURNIP

[identity profile] napoleonherself.livejournal.com 2003-02-07 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I DISAPPROVE OF YOU

STUPID MECHA

Funny, I actually have zero guilt over this.

*sniffle*

FINE

Be that way. Leave us out in the cold. SEE IF WE CARE

Someday, when the turnip is big and strong and greeny-leafed, you will want to have a relationship, and it will be TOO LATE. TOO LATE FOR YOU.

BUT WE WILL BE JUST FINE TOGETHER, ON OUR OWN

GOOD FOR YOU
