Hangout Thread

What's on Sunday?

My new computer.

Awesome.

I can't wait.

That suppressed smile worries me.

Muahahahaha, I'm so evil.

Anyone still here? If so how is everyone?

Still killing threads.

Apparently.

Otherwise, I'm good.

I'm still here. I'm doing alright. How about you?

Just figuring out how I'm going to get through parts of my life, you know since I'm starting college in late August. I always figure something out...I just wish I didn't have to go through the motions of stress before getting a solution...I'm not a very nice person when I'm stressful and I hate myself for it.

I remember that.

I'm very sorry about that.

Where are you staying? In a dorm or on your own?

Spending the first term at home, but moving into a dorm the next because 1. It was cheaper and the time and 2. I missed the deadline anyway. I'm very fortunate and thankful I'm getting some kind of assistance while I still figure out and get accustomed to the schedule.

Ah. Well I've already done the whole college/university thing and I lived by myself for half of it, so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

I actually have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to college.

I appreciate the offer and will consider it when and if necessary. In the end I always figure out something that works for me.

So in other news, does anyone have a good story to share?

Well, I made a friend recently.

Yeah, just do what works best for you.

Stories, you say? Hmmm, maybe I do. Funny ones or sad ones or tales of derring do? Or maybe the tale of 'Kirkhill Two'...

We had a call a couple of nights ago to an industrial building. The keyholder had made himself as scarce as fish tits, so we had to cut the padlock on the gate to get in.\\ After that we couldn't find a way into the building itself until yours truly dragged his weary arse- in fire gear and a BA set in the middle of a night so warm he'd been sleeping naked on top of the duvet and it had still been stuck to him when he jumped out of bed- away round to the far side of the building and found a door whose swipe-card lock had popped open, this being an automatic feature in modern security doors when a fire alarm is activated. So I prop it open with traffic cone I found in the yard and in go the bold heroes all, wandering around in this huge workshop space.\\ No fire was anywhere to be found, so the boss and one other guy go to the building's reception area to reset the alarm while I go back to the pump to take my set off.
It was only when the wailing of the alarm stopped and there came a series of loud 'clunks' from inside that we all remembered the card-activated security doors.
We watched the two guys inside struggling with various doors for about ten minutes before beginning a discussion about whether we should go and get some matches and set an alarm off again or whether we should just inform control that we were mobile and available with a revised crew of four and go home.
Eventually it was decided that the potential embarrassment to the service dictated that we retrieve them before the staff turned up in the morning. This suggestion was greeted with shouts of both 'nah, fuck 'em!' and 'free the Kirkhill Two!' (Kirkhill being the area where the industrial estate is located).
Eventually I went in with the number two guy and searched for a means of extraction. Eventually we were forced to use the green break-glass point emergency door release.

And that was, tragically, the most eventful call I've been to all week.

Wow, no one posted while I was away except you?

I am disappoint.

Uh...thanks?

I just expected more activity. :/

You've gone green.

Indeed I have.

I figured I might as well use one of the lantern avatars Dhana gave me before he used them all.
