Maybe if most of your conversations didn't take place through screams into pillows then they would make more sense.

I wish my sex life was half as interesting as you make it up to be.

Fuck Websense. It blocks the DL at work now.

Websense is evil.

So, last night I linked up with a group of associates for the first night of Alvistide. We were fortunate enough to have not only looks, brains, muscle, a wild card, AND a useless chick, but also an token ethnic guy and out-of-place attractive girl to round out the team. Went on a booze-fueled rampage as was our want and so on.

The thing is, I have no idea how I got home, but when I woke up, I was in bed, fully clothed. Not just shirt and pants clothed, I was wearing shoes, my leather jacket, a scarf (it was blizzarding earlier that day, goddamn it), my hat and my glasses.

Content filter that is notoriously not very good.

So they make pre-designed internet content filters now? *sigh* welp, that's it, we failed it up. Time to let the dogs run the show.

So, I need to know how I can decorate for Christmas without having any money.
My dad's not particularly festive - last Christmas, he... did nothing to decorate. He spends Christmas in Spain with family, so doesn't bother doing the house up, despite not leaving until, like, a week before Christmas.
So I figured, why not do something myself? Bring some Christmas cheer to the house an' all that jazz. Except I have no money. Or art skills. So I need to know what sorta stuff I can get online or make -very- easily. Any suggestions/good places to start?

You can always get some paper to uh, cover books with... "kaft papier" or "cover paper" in Dutch, not sure how that translates...

Anyway, you can get that and cut large squares out of it. Fold it over eight times, cut patterns in it, then unfold it completely, cut it halfway but not completely, so that it's still connected, and then use it to decorate anything you can wind it around! Usually involves staples or uhm, I don't know the word again. It's like a strip of glue-like, transparant paper you use to attach things together.

It's a very silly thing, but Christmas is for silly, right?

~~Alternatively, rob the local stores for Christmas equipment~~.

I think Bardiche is referring to making paper snowflakes. Yeah, that works well, and just requires a white piece of paper.

Another thing you can do is go to Christmas Tree lots, and gather up the branches that fell off trees, then tie them into a wreath.

You can also knock on your neighbour's door, explain your financial situation, and ask if they have second hand Christmas decorations they were no longer using (I know we always had a whole extra box that was just excess and couldn't be placed anywhere). You can promise to return them after Christmas.

Yoshiken · « **Reply #3462 on:** November 29, 2009, 05:36:19 PM »

Ehh, it'd be awkward asking neighbours. Don't know any of them round here...
Paper snowflakes/chains will probably work, as will attempting to make a wreath... I just don't like the house being so bare at Christmas, since I lived with my mum until last year, and she's obsessed with Christmas - there were decorations up all year there, so this is really weird for me!

UuuUuuuuUugh, this makes me shiver. I hate being fully clothed on or in a bed . . . and generally I hate wearing anything "long" in bed because the sheets wrap around you all retarded and shit. Yuuuuuuck. What a horrible night for you! ^_~

... Yes. I feel awful, because I now realise I know the word but I just couldn't remember what it was called.

I fucking hate toilets. The goddamned low water flush ones. Seriously, who the fuck thought they would be a good invention?

I mean, god, you use up so much more fucking water flushing them 60 times! And they clog more often! Fucking hell.

I seriously am going to start shitting at the bush outside my apartment. Saves more water, works as fertilizer.

Fuck.

NotMiki · « **Reply #3469 on:** November 30, 2009, 12:34:21 AM »

Back when the low-flow laws were first enacted there was a healthy black market in smuggling high-flow toilets down from Canada. New innovations in low-flow toilet design has solved the efficiency problems you're talking about, but there are plenty of early, badly-designed toilets still out there.

Apparently, users of a good low-flow toilet can expect to save $90 a year on water bills on average, go fig.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #3470 on:** November 30, 2009, 12:36:42 AM »

I have never seen, in my years of traveling, anything but a low flow toilet. Pittsburgh, Morgantown, the whole of PA...all inefficient pieces of junk! Makes me sad ;_;

Wooooo, awesome weekend. Good food, time with family, reconnected with a bunch old co-workers (including one who told me that I inadvertently converted her to Reconstructionist Judaism), helped an old friend move into his first house (protip: ovens are heavy), got a comfy new desk chair and fixed my computer. Man, Thanksgiving kicks ass.

Nothing like a weekend of doing absolutely nothing but playing FF4 and drinking to recharge the batteries.

OK's problem also amuses the hell out of me and schadenfreude makes my weekend all the better.
