Wo ist der Strudelhausen, Englander?

[davidn]

Here's another enthralling MSN conversation.

I should add that it took him a full minute and a half of mental effort to come up with the second line he typed. It's odd, because in his email to me he seemed vaguely coherent.

Still, anyway, however, though, but and meanwhile, I have had this on my hard drive since the beginning of Freshers Week and haven't ever got around to uploading it: http://www.angelfire.com/alt/wong/irclog3.txt As you can see, the address is the same as usual, but with a 3 on the end instead of a 2. Clever, that.

You'll notice that it's very short, and I'm afraid it'll probably stay that way... despite numerous people asking me, I've failed to tell people why I've decided not to go in to the chatroom this year. I actually had precisely what I was going to say worked out in my head, but when it came to typing it up it seemed like too much of an attack on one person - something that I think is a childish thing to put on an LJ, and also something which my conscience doesn't allow me to post anywhere, regardless of my feelings about anyone. Basically, I've been thinking about the less great aspects of the last two years and trying to correct them. So now instead of a clear explanation, you've got this confusing and frustratingly cryptic entry, in the style of the very kind of entry that I find so annoying myself. Who knows, I may well crack at some point and decide I can't live without it, probably when the project's deadline is near.

I apologise for the above mess. Normal service will be resumed in the next entry.

Nahh, keep going this way! That's a hilarious entry, and an even better MSN convo!

Is it because all the people with whom you first #thesinner-ed are no longer there, and because of the domination of nastiness/immaturity that goes on in it?

You really do get the weirdest and wonderfulest of people on IM - what's your secret??

Why would he email you if he didn't know you? I don't understand.

Because I wrote this: http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/unrealed.txt (Copy and paste the link, GameFAQs will block external references.)

You've explained it far better than I ever realised it could be explained!

As for IM, the secret is to be known in as many communities as possible... I'm surprised you and "Greenbo" didn't get the same on The Ville.

but if it wasn't for cryptic entries, my LJ would be empty.
