Penguins don't need gimmicks

[davidn]

I've just realised that today is 30/04/03, and (30 - 4 - 3) is that number 23 again. Which proves... something, maybe.

Anyway, now that the style's done - although it'll probably be changed hundreds of times as I experiment with it and work out how to use the Style Override - I've got to decide what style to actually write it in. Most of my Friends' journals have a specific gimmick, or something significant about them. So, apart from my particular brand of insanity, what can I do with this one?

mercuryanna, for example, has song lyrics as the titles of the entries... well, I started that anyway below. I can't hope to match the comedy genius of sleigh82, or the insincere 1337speak featured by raphx.

One thing I could do is a Quote of the Day - however, gr33bo has beaten me to it. The fact that I've been putting a Quote of the Day in my e-mails since some time in the year 2000 probably wouldn't deter him from claiming that he got there first, or indeed winning the inevitable argument over it.

There's another log that I keep, and that's highlights from the Sinner chatroom - the humour value of that place matches even Richard Whiteley on good days. Putting quotes from it up would encourage people to come up with memorable quotes, though... but still, I have 58.8kb of them so far and I don't want all of them to go to waste. And because I'm not always going to write this at the end of the day, it'll have to be...


[niall] power to the 1337
[RaphX] niall is only 1336
[niall] :P
[colacube] 1337 sucks
[Prophet_Tenebrae] no, 1336 sucks.
[colacube] it all sucks
[RaphX] you suck
[colacube] yes i do
[colacube] :P
[RaphX] oh, ok :D
[Prophet_Tenebrae] generally, that insult is more offensive to straight guys.
[Prophet_Tenebrae] therefore, the logical thing to say to a girl is "you lick".
[RaphX] no point in trying to insult you then, richard :X


...Well, it'll get better. And the title will have to be abbreviated a bit, but I'm working on it.

Anyway, what happened today? I just went up to accommodation services to hand my contract in - first time I'd been up there, it's a maze reminiscent of an Escher painting. Also, I got the computing practical for the week out of the way, which wasn't anywhere near as hellish as usual.

After that, Richard beat me at Starcraft after Paulette left, even though I should really have won... well, if I wasn't so hopeless at RTS I might have. And we'll be going to see The Two Towers tonight, followed by watching the May Dip. With any luck I might even get some sleep as well.

You didn't deserve to win the second game tonight - considering i was about 3 seconds away from destroying you... :P The first game, yeah you definitely had the upperhand in that... i mean, if you'd used those siege tanks to start laying into me then i'd have been in a lot of trouble.
