Open Bar MMXIV^2: Solace of Quantum

[The Johnny]

So I just had an awful thought.

You know those weirdos that still talk on usenet?

We're basically them.

I'm comfortable with that.  I'd have hung around usenet if the bots hadn't taken over when they stopped maintaining it.

Basically, I'm a Luddite.  I'm not so sure about fucking ZIPPERS, and You People want to talk to me about social networking?

*Like*

I come here to engage in conversations that involve more than a sentence...

Idk, but even in Facebook i only tend to post things on my wall that are specifically oriented to a person or a group of persons i know, and sometimes i leave it on while i work to see who shows up and keep up on their daily happenings and actually have a conversation with them.

You guys are the only "strangers" i engage in the Internet... I dont go on flamewars on youtube, i dont add a thousand "friends" on facebook unless im actually engaging them, and if that doesnt happen i delete them, im running on about 30-40 people...

My point is, as a question actually: What type of interaction do we have in common with others in the Internet?

[LMNO]

Dok, zippers are totally be devil. Buttonfly or GTFO.

also, the knitting/walking thing is insanely kickass.

I went for about a six and a half mile walk with my friend E through the Swan Island Industrial District. It was AWESOME.

Now that would be cool to do.

I am so so into the industrial district! It's really hard to describe how awesome it is. Pretty much impossible, in fact. There's a beach.

That is a REALLY good question.

They argue over who is the most enlightened Pagan of them all.

The bar is called Mysticwicks.

It's been a while since I've been there.

It's down.  Has been for months.  Mol is extorting his followers for money, to "get the server working".  Mysteriously, no matter how much money is given, the server still isn't doing anything.

They aren't asking for money anymore. Or even talking to people. No one has heard from Mol or GEBS since January, I think, not even on the FB page/group.
Now the people who were left without an MW are trying to figure out if it's worth it to try and make a new forum for everyone.

I cleaned the kitchen, found out my housemate has a history of domestic violence and abusive behaviour from his partner and I'm now having a strawberry daiquiri at 4 in the afternoon.

it's going to be a long year.

The Jazz Age Lawn Party is coming up again in NYC. This year, I am forcing my cousin and her husband to dress up with us. 

We went to Governor's Island last year for bike riding and found this massive group of people dancing the Charleston and looking dashing, to which I immediately said, without thinking, 'WE ARE DOING THIS NEXT YEAR."

And my boyfriend facepalmed.

I don't know why, he just needs a damn straw boater and a bowtie.

You may have misconstrued what I meant by "awful". We're on the same page, here.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning for 3 days of camping on the Olympic Peninsula. So unless the weather gets so bad that I decide to camp in the casino I'll see you spags on Friday.

[Freeky]

Have fun, spag.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

Enjoy, ECH.

That sounds goddamn awesome. Have fun!

[Left]

Have  a good time camping, meester.

Meanwhile, I'm off to replace a tire on the car, I hit a pothole at speed and the sidewall's got a goose-egg on it.

But I get to go stay at the girlfriendo's tomorrow night.
