Well gosh. I don't think I can possible forgive you for such an offense, you scoundrel.

hello?
*goes to play tetris in another tab*

Hello there, Sailor.

hi :)
How are you today?

Teehee, I'm a scoundrel. n__n

I'm doing alright at the moment. Et tu, Layla?

You so are, Harley. You're quite the dark horse.

It really does sound like a good thing as opposed to a bad thing, even 'dark horse'. It's like being called sassy or frisky, or even a mischief-maker, they don't sound like bad things to me, they just sound.. playful.

How was your dinner last night? :p

I'm doing pretty well :P Really sleepy though; my sleep schedule's out of wack and my alarm clock keeps failing to wake me up properly
Scoundrel hasn't been a true insult for about a hundred years lol. When my little brother wants to insult me he calls me a pedantic curmudgeon--Which doesn't insult me at all ;P

Hello all! :)

What's a curmudgeon? o.O

It's sort of like a crotchety yet fun old person. Very lovable. Think Mark Twain.

Yeah, they are a frisky sort of observations of character ^.^ Dinner was nice. We talked about global warming on a geological vs. biological time scale, London, travel overall, art history, and of course, old family stories. Plus at one point, my mum fell off her chair. A good time was had by all.

Curmudgeon:
n. A bad-tempered, difficult, cantankerous person; an ill-tempered person full of resentment and stubborn notions.
Synonyms:
Grouch, crank, bear, sourpuss, crosspatch
I'm not that bad-tempered. The only time I really get cranky is if you wake me up too early or if you happen to be my little brother or mom. Or if you're an idiot. I can't stand idiots. lol.
Why did your mom fall out of her chair? Was she laughing too hard?

A cantankerous curmudgeon. xD
I don't like being woken up too early either. Or just being woken up.

Well, the majority of the company was pretty far in their cups at that point, and she was pushed out during a miming session...

I am so happy! They finally updated the monocles.

Kaema: It's hard to wake me up but my alarm clock almost worked this morning. Almost. I woke up, told my sister to get up because she has summer school then went back to sleep and didn't get up until about 6 hours later lol. My nephew decided to wake me up yesterday at about 11 by tickling my foot--but my feet aren't ticklish so that didn't really work. I only woke up because I could feel him touching it. If you want me up, you have to get me out of the bed within five seconds or it's just too troublesome for me to get out of bed.
Biggles: What were they miming? And drinking?
Elvilla: They did? It took them long enough.

I had water, the rest of the party had alcoholic libations. I don't recall doing any miming myself, but the gentleman next to my mother was telling a story that involved pushing, and in the process of acting it out, pushed my mother out of her chair...

LMAO. He pushed her out? :D
The only time I've seen anyone fall out of their seat was one of my friends, and it was mine and another friend's fault. The friend who fell out was extremely ticklish and we were alternating poking her in the ribs (and we were at a circular lunch table with those small, round, attached stools); she tried to scoot back too far and fell off the stool--which was, of course, even funnier.

Crimson: I hate to be woken up, but it's hard to actually get up unless someone tells me to. xD Especially during summer... @[email protected]

Oh gosh, school stools. We had some super glossy ones in the science lab that did not agree with my uniform trousers. Many a day I skidded across those in the process of sitting down...

*pops in*

Well ello me lovelies. How's the conversation been in my absence?

Didn't mean for it to be such a lenthy-ish one, but duty calls, as they say.

lol, it's pretty dead :P It picks up for a bit... and then it dies down...
Biggles: I don't think I've ever done that, but the science classes I took didn't have any stools in the room. Well, one did, but that was the teacher's stool, and you don't sit on the teacher's stool...
Does anyone remember their chemistry teacher setting a bubble on fire? We did that, and showed how a coffee can will explode (I was right in front of it too, scariest thing that's ever happened to me)

I think I may have been the one that killed it... o.o
Our physical science teacher made a balloon explode once...it was the only interesting thing that happened all year. xD

how'd he do that? The way you're saying it suggests that it wasn't a needle or a pen :P
the bubble in question was made of a flammable liquid and it nearly scorched the ceiling when it caught on fire because it was about the size of a soccer or volleyball

He filled it with hydrogen and had someone hold a flame under it.
A bubble the size of a soccer/volleyball? O_O A FLAMMABLE bubble the size of a soccer/volleyball?

O.o Hydrogen is dangerous! That's why they don't use it to make blimps fly
A very flammable bubble.
Can you imagine just walking along when this bubble just bursts into flames right in front of you and then there's more? And they just keep coming? It'd be like armageddon :P
I think the girl who volunteered was nuts or had a deathwish or something because who wants to ignite a possibly homicidal flammable bubble when it's coming right at them?
Even if it WAS pretty cool when it caught on fire.
