I'm Back!

[Sindhu]

Hi Everybody,
Just to announce I'm back after all my perambulations including moving to India, travelling around, my father falling ill (he's fine now thank goodness) and my computer conking out on top of everything! What ahectic way to end the year! Anyway, I got a brand new computer as a new year gift- so it wasn't a total flop!
installed only today, so I haven't had time to catch up on forum messages or to check any PMs- sorry anyone who's PM'd me! I'll catch up in a couple of days and then BEWARE_ I'll be regularly posting again!
Oh, I DID miss this place and it's GREAT to be back!
Have a SUPER 2004, everyone!
Sindhu.:)

So glad to have you back!

Been missing you.
Gladyour fathers feeling better- I hope the new year will be a lot better for you.

SINDHUUU!
What a surprise! :)
Nice to see you again, don't post too much otherwise it'll take me hours everytime to follow everything ;) ;) ;)
Have a great new year!!!

[sloegin]

Welcome back, or something just as trite.

[fayefaye]

GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!! I missed you! Hope you have a great new year too. :) I was wondering where you'd gotten to.

[sloegin]

Hey faye, what's with the new title? Did I 'poop on your head'? lol.

[sloegin]

I was not aiming for you.

[fayefaye]

gee thanks. But I don't think I have any poop on my head. Besides, I washed my hair today. :D

[sloegin]

I guess we have different definitions of 'crap'. Oh well.

[fayefaye]

variation of the word 'spectacular' as in, I'm not really spectacular. More of an idiot. Actually, I should just change it to 'idiot' *thinking of new titles*

[sloegin]

Do I get to suggest something? (oh this is gonna be fun)

[fayefaye]

fine. shoot. Nothing that makes me feel like I'm about to throw up. I repeat: Nothing that makes me feel like I'm about to throw up.

[sloegin]

How about, 'empty toilet paper roll'.

[fayefaye]

:confused: I'm best described as an 'empty toilet paper roll' :mad: I'm not sure I want to hear your other suggestions....

[sloegin]

It's a joke. It's desperation, when you've used up that last sheet, and still need more. You're looking at the little pieces of paper stuck on the roll. Things are bad, real f*cking bad. Then as you continue to stare at the empty roll--inspiration hits, time to get creative--there is more under the sink, I can use a towel it can be washed, there are tissues on the back of the toilet. And all turns out okay in the end, pun intended. It really is quite beautiful, if you think about it. lmao.

[fayefaye]

LOL. Sparking desperation and inspiration. That's quite good.

[sloegin]

I've got another toilet one, if you want. I can come up with something else...point me north, captian.

[fayefaye]

You're just going to keep coming up with toilet ideas, aren't you?

[sloegin]

I've only got one more.

The book I'm reading at present is full of it, and I thought my mind was stuck in the bathroom.

[fayefaye]

ok. Let's hear it. What are you reading, btw?

[sloegin]

DeLillo's Underworld.

'sanitary toilet-seat cover'

[fayefaye]

explain.

[sloegin]

This one isn't as funny.

You want to protect yourself, to live a long and healthy life. Trying to protect yourself in the most common of acts with a little piece of paper; with hopes of living to continue a unique existance. Living in fear; that everyone else has a sinister/subtle plot to destroy you. Yet you don't want to be alone, wanting someone to share your life with.

I haven't articulated this very well. Most of all, I think they are just plain silly.

[fayefaye]

I like 'empty toilet roll' better. 'sanitary toilet seat cover' makes you think of disgusting public toilets where you're scared to touch anything in case you contract a disease. Maybe that's the point? maybe people are too scared and paranoid. then again, some public toilets are reeeeaaaaaally disgusting.

[sloegin]

Have you ever seen, 'Train Spotting'?

[fayefaye]

no..... why?

[sloegin]

It has a 'great' toilet scene and a 'great' poop scene.

[fayefaye]

ewwww.. then I probably don't want to see it.

[sloegin]

It's a love story, with a twist.

[fayefaye]

is it good?

[sloegin]

Yes, I thought so. Oh yeah, there is a funny dog scene too.

[fayefaye]

<doesn't want to know and not going to ask>

[sloegin]

It isn't really sexual, but I suppose if you are a sadist, it could get you off.

[fayefaye]

didn't ask.

[sloegin]

Just rent it, and get it over with.

[Sindhu]

fayefaye and sloegin- NOW, I REALLY KNOW I'm back!:D

[Koa]

Faye and sloe, there's the Trainspotting book too! I don't think the toilet scene is in the book, but the other one definitely is... (yes i did read the book and watched the film, can't say the movie impressed me though...)

*waves at sindhu* :D

[sloegin]

Who wrote the book? When was it published? I cannot find it.

I hear Trainspotting is Irvine Welsh's first novel, didn't read it though. You can take a look at the edtion posted by Amazon, where you can actually read some of the content:

Yeah Irwine Welsh... Not sure of the year, something like 1995 or 1993 maybe...too lazy to look for my copy (if I still have it) and check :D

*waves at sindhu* :D [/B]
Waves Back!:D :) :D
Sindhu.

For those who were interested: Trainspotting (book) was first published in 1993, but some bits of it were published in magazines since 1991 or so. Yes I looked it up, hopefully I remember correctly
