Random Randomness / Pancakes!
« on: February 17, 2015, 12:33 »
So as it's Shrove Tuesday, I thought it was probably worth making a topic about pancakes. Talk about recipes, toppings, gluten-free recipes, egg-free recipes, etc...


I'm mostly a lemon and sugar person (though ice cream's cool too) - I always find syrup and chocolate spread too heavy.  In terms of savoury pancakes it's just ham and cheese for me as all the recipes I've found for other stuff seem to involve condiments or creme fraiche that I won't eat.

Random Randomness / The PKMN.NET Dream Diary
« on: January 10, 2015, 19:24 »
as in like sleep dreams and not the mark you aspire to make on the world

pretty much just post any weird/interesting/just normal dreams you have here if you want in any kind of detail. i'll start with my dream last night bc it hecked me up and i thought my brother's girlfriend was dead for a little bit after i woke up. preemptive warning for incoherence to follow:

so i'm sitting in the living room and my brother's texting his girlfriend except like i could see the texts as if they were being sent to my phone and i see that she's died.  cut to loads of shots of everyone trying to get over it and also possibly the most significant one which was of my brother and me having a heart to heart and it ended on a hug which was rlly nice and makes awake-me a lil bit emotional. and then scene change i'm walking down the street with my best friend and she's like 'what are my flaws??' and i'm internally like '*sweating* do i say it all posh or do i just say it normally' and then outloud i deadpan 'you're an airhead.' and she gets all pissed and walks away from me and i'm like 'but you asked me also my sister in law is dead damn i can't win' and i don't remember what happened after that but i remember waking up all sad like 'oh damn.'

Random Randomness / Dealing With Stress
« on: October 28, 2014, 23:45 »
First thing's first, I'm going to put forth the reason I made this topic.

It is twenty-five to midnight, and I am too scared to go to bed because - as the last few weeks - I know exactly what I'm going to think about if I lie down in a dark room with nothing to distract me:  GCSEs.  Sounds pretty dumb, right?  I agree.  Even so, that's what I keep thinking about.  I've spent nights crying myself to sleep because I'm worried I'll disappoint my parents and my teachers by getting bad grades, I've had dreams where I don't get above a C on any of my GCSEs, and I've had nights where I've woken up shivery and nauseous and not been able to think of anything except my exams.  During the day, I am often completely and acutely aware of the fact that I could well be sitting in an exam room wondering why I spent so much time doing dumb stuff like rereading Harry Potter for the 479385794th time, or worrying about what will happen if I'm struck by a migraine halfway through an exam.  I'm a little sick of it, particularly as I've been told by so many people that
GSCEs aren't anything to worry about and also that GCSEs don't matter.  That being the case, I'm going to hand this over to you guys:
  • What makes you stressed?
  • How do you cope with stress?
  • If - like me - you don't cope with stress very well, can you think of any ways to turn that into something productive?

It is a clear evening in early August, and a young man sits at a computer, alone.  It has been a gruelling night of work – mental, too – far removed than the physical labour he is used to.  The Spanish Sun beating down on his back whilst flies make his back a comfortable home is something he can handle, but trying to match up to Richard’s talent is enough to drive him into hysterics.  He breaks up the jargon with the occasional unseemly comment.


He glances up to his wall and cringes. ‘August 7th’ shouts to him from the calendar.  He cringes harder at the 23:59 blinking at him from the alarm clock on the side of his table.  August 8th looms over him like a Gengar out of hiding.


And then comes the inevitable shock to his system. 00:00.


Happy Birthday, Scout.

Random Randomness / Laptop Power Problems
« on: January 03, 2014, 19:17 »
I have a Lenovo G570 Notebook (not a brand I'd recommend if you use the laptop a lot - the hinges are really bad) and a Lavolta 90W AC Adapter.  I have - rather unfortunately - noticed that the laptop won't charge very well (read: at all).  I went to use the bathroom and came back to see the power button flashing.  It was quite disgruntling, but the 'top was charging.  The button doesn't flash when the adapter is out.


Now, it won't charge at all.  The laptop works without an adapter, so I'm fairly certain that the battery is fine.  I'd like to avoid having to replace anything, but I'm taking a trip to PC World tomorrow anyway so it's not a massive deal if I do.

PKMN.NET / Formatting Problems
« on: December 29, 2013, 23:18 »
Recently, I've been finding that if I leave a one line gap between my paragraphs on the site they'll end up double spaced anyway and I'll have to go back and edit the post after posting.


Example.


There was that - do any of you have any idea why this is happening and how I might fix it?

TV and Movies / Frozen
« on: December 29, 2013, 15:45 »
Alas, I cannot line you all up in pairs and march you into the cinema like an angry schoolteacher, so I have to settle for gushing about the film here.  Only, gushing would defeat the purpose of - oh, I don't know.

Frozen, though.  It was great. Well, I thought it was great, anyway. This did have a Song-by-song synopsis, but I thought 1,238 words for a synopsis on an online forum was a bit excessive, so it's lying on a word document, crying about how unloved it is. 

Throw your opinions at me! Love it? Tell me! And tell me why! Hate it? Do the same!

Random Randomness / GCSEs
« on: November 17, 2013, 11:08 »
Yes. 'Tis the time of year whereby we Year Tens have their first controlled assessment, which is 15% of their English Language GCSE. On top of this, we've also got our first 'are you staying in the top set?' Maths Exam soon, which is also a GCSE paper. To add to that, we also have French and Spanish Controlled Assessments coming up and - before you ask - yes, I'm doing both.

So, this is the first influx of GCSE revision I have to do and I know it's not going to slow down from here.

Tips, anyone? How much work should I be doing a night if I want to be securing As and A*s (or, at this point, I'll settle for a B in Maths, but that's it)? Things I'll regret doing? Things I'll regret not doing?
