You guys must all be busy out there having lives. Which leaves me and the poor unloved internet to comfort each other in our loneliness.

My mum sent me towels. They're ugly but they seem soft!

Tesco has been ever so helpful. They informed me, on the packaging of their roasted pistachios in shells, that this product contains pistachios. Great allergy advice, very very important *sage nod of approval*. It also cautioned me that I should remove them from shells before consumption.

Why "consumption", anyway? Why not "eating"? Why does Stratford station tell people that "surfaces may have become slippery due to the adverse weather conditions" instead of "it's been raining, the floor may be wet and slippery"? I know I have said this before, but despite all those "plain English" movements that pop up here and there, the situation is not getting any better.

However! The other day in a meeting at a London Borough, I was told that they now have to use day-to-day English that everyone else uses. So, "framework" becomes "partnership", "stakeholders" becomes "affected residents and businesses", etc. I was delighted. There is hope yet...?

I think we're living in a world of political correctness gone mad -- somebody somewhere is probably offended by the word 'rain'. Maybe it's now an offense to call rain 'rain', and instead we have to say that it's sunshine-challenged or something.

Sort of like "fail" vs "deferred success"?

[identity profile] potter.livejournal.com 2008-01-25 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
YES. Just like that. "Deferred sunshine" is what they'll call rain, eventually.

But there is more than one type of weather! "Cloudy" and "snow" would get upset and sue for discrimination! Those damn weatherists! We demand compensation for hurt feelings and loss of earnings!!1

And the day "wet" becomes "deferred dryness" is the day I will stop reading porn. :(

(edit: I can spell, really)

OMG! In that case, cloudy can be "deferred brightness" and snow can be "deferred warmth"! And thunder can be "deferred mildness"! Windy can be "deferred calm"! Nobody need sue, there's a politically correct definition for all weather types! ;)

Hahah, a porn fic with "deferred dryness" would be hilarious. For, um, five minutes.

You always have me to post crazy shit and terrifying comments. ♥

I will NEVER get a life.

My sincere apologies, your use of language appears to be too uncomplicated and I must request that you make use of more words so that I may fully comprehend what you are attempting to convey. &organ-which-pumps-blood-around;

So sorry, what I meant to say was:

Do not experience undue feelings of anxiety and distress, because I will always be omnipresent to supply you with your requisite daily amount of vulgarity and inanity.

Ah, I comprehend now. What you have said above is much clearer than it was previously! My gratitude to your contribution towards the interestingness of the World Wide Web.

No, you're not alone. I still have no life, was just sleeping off an amesuta.

Hi. Should I give Sanada tits today? *curious*

Yukimura: You're hanging out the bottom of your shorts, Sanada. Put it away. You're scaring Akaya...

Eheh.

After reading the previous comments, I don't feel my english is up to those standards.

But Reposoir has just made me smile.

And for the record, I'd rather be sharing loneliness with the internet that dealing with having a life, thank you very much.

(And commenting has just pop up some worm alert in the antivirus, careful!!)

It'd be bad if people start to all speak like that. XD

Hahahaha, this life thing, it's such a mystery.

There is a buttload more C&A up :) Just refresh the link or go to the same one I gave you before.

I re-compressed Tasogare in a .rar instead of a .zip and am reuling it, plus Red Hill is not done yet, but everything else should be golden.

A lot of them are from CHN forums or eMule so they were originally .rared with chinese filenames, so if you have trouble extracting anything lemme know and I will re-archive and reupload them.

The single mp3 you will find also is my favorite song of theirs :) I FINALLY FOUND A COPY.

♥!!!! I'll be downloading them! Yeah maybe the work comp had some troubles, but I think the home comp should deal with it fine. :D ♥
