    I'm unhappy that the wondrously uplifting story I've envisioned for years is being ruined by having me as the writer.

    What's the matter, now now? Tell Uncle Guy-guy all about it. Can't ruin something if you don't write it. Let's just take one step at a time.
    j/k :D
    Seriously, what vexes thee?

    Just a silhouette in the road, a greasy slick where the moderators arrived on their hover trolleys.

    I suppose some god-damn moderator stepped down from his trolley and bagged chunks for incineration, but here at the scene there was only a memory in this sweet scent of fresh detergent. A mystery, maybe there was a rebellion in progress, but who could say?

    At least we still had the societal approved comics for our regular rousing entertainment and our exercise. I always enjoyed Mr Chuckles' Wacky Hammer, the show, although I was aware some found his presence grating.

    And who knows maybe one day security might wipe Chuckles’ smile? And we can only dream [ozo v] of the fist in his face.

    But for now it was simply the wackjobs in the furnace and a move along citizen there is nothing to see here.

    Can I be a hover-trolley when I grow up?

    Vodafone have finally managed to work out how to take money from my account. That would be a good thing...except that because of the whole debacle whereby they couldn't get it from me (for reasons unknown) I broke that sim up and threw it away. So now, I'm topping up the old prepay unit, AND being robbed monthly for a service I am no longer receiving!!! So that's 42 euro a month for only 7.5GB of data!!! I already paid them at least 160 euro before I gave up on that set up...yet they claimed they never received any payment from me! :supermad::supermad::supermad:

    This is exactly the kind of shit I can't cope with, which is why I don't do contracts in the first place. I just get really enraged and want to tear someone to pieces, which isn't conducive to maintaining a working relationship. I can't control or conceal my anger, so I just cut them off and walk away. That's what works for me.

    That won't get me the money back though.
    When I went into the store before to try and get to the bottom of why they weren't getting paid, they were useless. They claimed it was an issue with my bank. The bank said there was no problem on their end either.

    A lot of recent news is scaring me. I feel like I'm living in the prologue of a dystopian novel. I don't like where our country is headed.

    Reminds me of a Johnny Cash song. Down, down, down.

    ETA: This is also the song that plays in my mind when I am taking a particularly uncomfortable deuce. Same/same?

    Over worked a muscle in my right thumb yesterday and now it hurts to do pretty much anything. The other fingers are also complaining some and I'm completely exhausted.

    First thing I'm going to do when I get home today is go to bed - sleep a few hours or days.

    Reminds me of the Great Thumb War of '87. Many a carpal was lost that day. Many a trapzium, too.

    That's the thing about fiction. We'd love to read it, but we don't want to live in it. :p

    Like you can enjoy Game of Thrones, but do you actually want to live in Westros?
    You can enjoy Batman, but do you actually wanna be Batman?

    A lot of Harry Potter fans say they really wish they went to Hogwarts, but one guy I knew said he actually wouldn't like to go - look at all the shit that goes down there!

    I'm sure everything will be fine. As a trend, the world is getting better, not worse. We've faced crises before, and come out, if not smelling of roses, at least not extinct.

    When speaking of HP and Hogwarts, and why things could be done by Voldemort, you have
    to consider the scale of which he has to work with. Say he runs the seedy magic underbelly
    strictly in England (Think of it like a gang and it's territory). Kinda small, and since we never
    get a definitive on how fast a broom can go, not to mention the whole teleportation aspect of
    the magic side, and yeah with a good sized group could really be a major threat to the area.
    And in theory would have had enough understanding of how the solar system functions and
    with some degree what is in it. Could have pwned Hogwarts easily, just have one (or two) sleepers
    on the inside, summon an asteroid and it would be all over in a matter of minutes or hours
    depending on how fast accio works.
    So in a way, there is a gross underestimation due to plot that it would be possible to 'nuke'
    an area with basically little to no warning anywhere in the HP universe at anytime.
    We won't dive into the time travel aspect they have, which would be another option, since
    it exists in their universe. Again a plot failure to see potential for a fairly smart villain.

    of reasons I weep for humanity. :p
