“‘You worry too much about tigers that are not there, I think,’ he...”

Anyone know what I should use to create an online...
I was going to use Mixwit, but turns out they’re ‘closed down’. Sigh.
The IT Crowd makes me happy.
Michael: But whyyy? I don't understand! I thought it was going so well! Is it something I did?
Jen: No, no, it's hard to explain.
Michael: Tell me, Jen, for gods sake. You owe me that much.
Jen: *pauses*
Jen: You.. look like a magician, Michael. Alright? I'm sorry, but you do. I didn't notice it at first but then someone mentioned it and now I can't get it out of my head, it's driving me mad.
Michael: But I'm not a magician.
Jen: I know, that's why it's not good that you look like one.
Michael: Well, what is it, exactly, about me?
Jen: It's.. everything! There's nothing about you that doesn't look like a magician! It's everything! Don't you see it? Don't you wake up every morning and look in the mirror and think, "Jesus CHRIST I look like a magician!"
Michael: No..
Jen: Well you should! I would! If i was a weirdy beardy magician-ey man. I'm just trying to help you, Michael.
Michael: So it's over, because of that?
Jen: I don't see anyway past it. It's weird. It's weird for me. I'm sorry.
Michael: No, wait. Maybe, we can think of something.
Jen: *thinks*
Michael: What if I actually learn some magic tricks?
Jen: What do you mean?
Michael: Well, perhaps if I learnt some tricks, it wouldn't feel so strange! That I .. look like a magician.
Jen: You'd have to learn a lot of tricks. I mean, you'd basically have to become a magician. Do you really want to make that kind of commitment?

Kim: *Imitates crane*

Me: Dubai!
Griff: Yeah.
Kim: Wow. Why are they all there?
Me: Cos of all the building.
Kim: Ohhhh. I thought we were talking about bird crane.
Anyone in Adelaide want chocolate?
I have 11 boxes of Snickers to get rid of. Seriously. I don’t want them. They’re best before date *is* the 22nd of this month, this year. But it’s chocolate. Give me a shout out if you would like some and I will deliver to you!
topherchris:
Stop bitching about going back to work today. Imagine how hard it’s going to be for me by next Monday. So selfish.
There will be bitching from me next Monday, rest assured.
Bike riding with us involves:

not to mention,
- breaking and entering into my own home
- gelati
- walking halfway across town in a state unfit for walking
- riding into poles
- being stuck behind traffic and watching ash slowly ride away!!!
ahhhh, good times, and how i love the fact griff went down the chasm.
and feeding horses.
Bike riding with us involves:
My bike chain falling off twice.
Tricking Griff into driving into the chasm.
Somehow looking my right footing and my grip on my right hand SIMULTANEOUSLY and narrowly missing hitting my shoulder on the handlebars and careering off to the side of the road in the middle of the city.
Fish and chips on the beach.
Tangents.
Playgrounds.
Fun.
Don't be shy!
I *think* I’ve finished narrowing down all my favourite Aussie bands into a smallish playlist.
Anyone want a copy?

Won’t see me knocking on...”

kevinsean:
i hate you for stealing my swag!
but i love you for letting me go to your party!

That swag was the most amazing thing ever. And I still can’t believe you swapped sides with me so you would be the one almost in the bushes. Or that you even let me stay in your swag at all, after all the threats of kicking me out.
I hate you for sleeping so soundly and...

Why are tumblr crushes so much more intense?
stupidinboston:
I think it is because tumblr’s tend to reveal more of ourselves on this medium. You reach that level of intimacy that sometimes only comes after years of knowing a person, if at all. Doubts and fears, hopes and dreams, likes and dislikes — they all get released into the ether that is Tumblr, and everyone else ingests them. Shyness and social awkwardness does not get in the way of...

I was walking from my car to the front door, at 10.30pm on Christmas Eve, looking up at the stars as I walked and marvelling at how wonderful life is after spending a wonderful evening with a small number of my extended family at my sisters house. I felt so happy, so glad to be alive and enjoying life.
And then I walked through what felt like the biggest fucking spiderweb ever, and ran around in...
