Stranger than Fiction

A list! (goody!)

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 07:19:34 +0200

Right so I've woken up much sooner than I'd like once again, and have decided to disclose the things I feel we need more of to make the world a better place:

Cycle paths
People who assume good faith
Songs about lesbians
Trains
Time to do the things we need
Time to do nothing at all
Answerable questions
Compassion
Episodes of Scrubs
Bonsai Trees
Panda Bears
Freedom to make our own mistakes
Communication
Tolerance for other people's opinions
People who are not afraid of being wrong
Places to go where no one else can find you
Privacy
Humour
Demonstrations of kindness
Cookies

So if everybody picks just one thing and makes more of them, we'll soon make this world a decent place to live

A small insight into the male psyche

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 21:15:33 +0200

First some back story: I'm on MSN minding my own business when some Welsh dude starts to talk to me... Basically this guy thinks I'm woman because I had my (now ex-) girlfriend as my display picture once ages ago and he wants pictures to enhance a certain experience. I'm slightly drunk and have decided to play along, until he pisses me off so much I just have to ask this question... I apologise for the spelling errors, I just copied-and-pasted. I'd put "[sic]" infront of them all but you'd get [sic] of the sight of them... hahahaha! Ahem! the "(sn)" is an emoticon, incase you didn't know...

You have no idea how to treat a woman

I. Snail (sn)But you're just a dream pumping through broken hearts says:
I mean have you seriously ever got any girl to ever do anything with you over MSN?

Well that was a long wait

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 12:05:44 +0200

I hope you're still there, I'm still here! Wasn't hit by a bus or anything. Just got sidetracked. Hmmm, what to say?

When I left you I was going into town. It's pretty dull but I have nothing better to talk about. I was going there to get a new mouse as the one I was using's left button had died. So I got a Labtec 3-button optical mouse for £9.99, mice seem very expensive for what boils down to 3 buttons and a motion sensor. £9.99 seems reasonable but you have to remember that these things have a habit of breaking within a year, and this was the cheapest I could find. Most were around £30, an extra £20 for 1-or-2 more buttons and an unnoticeable smoother scrolling. Ridiculous if you ask me!

Anyways, mouse in hand I leave Staples and decide to visit Vision Games. They buy and sell second hand games and often you can pick up some nice games for next to nothing. I got Final Fantasy X-2 (that's 10, 2.. Not 12) because I quite enjoyed Final Fantasy 10. Must say I haven't been overly impressed so far but It's perfectly playable.

On my way back across town I came across some people hitting upturned bins with sticks, no it wasn't the local hoodie troupe but a celebration of High Wycombe's adoption of their "bags for life" project. As I understand it they're 100% recyclable jute bags that you can buy for £1, the profit from which will go towards other green projects in Wycombe. Sounds good, except Tesco, Mark's & Spencer's and Sainsbury's all have the exact same bag for just 10p. Who is going to pay £1 when they could get 10 for that? It feels like another example of jumping too fast at something "green" and not really thinking it through. Jute also isn't very strong when wet and since we failed to build a roof that doesn't leak that will be a problem.

Well I'm sure you're all sufficiently bored now. I'll leave you to do something productive.

Right, for those of you who have joined me:

This will become about me, my life and feelings and shit, because it's apparently good to talk about stuff. But first I'm going to go into town, see you all soon!

041. Most popular?: David Cordingly, everyone seemed to be his friend.

064. How many people have you kissed?: 1 (Get around, don't I?)
065. Have you ever kissed someone of the same sex?: Nope
066. How many people have you dated?: 2 (One is not one of the 2 from 2 and 3 questions back... If that makes sense)
067. What do you look for in a guy/girl?: Erm, never really looked in girls very much. I guess the standard reply. (i.e. makes me laugh, great personality etc.)
068. What's the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?: What a stupid question! I'll notice whatever is most noticeable about them (usually). If the are very fat I'll notice that, if they have humongous boobs I'll probably notice it then try to pretend I didn't. If they have a table leg sticking out of their forehead it's a safe bet I'll notice that first.

076. Do you remember your first love?: I'd be in trouble if I didn't
077. Who is the first person you kissed?: Lydia
078. Do you believe in fate?: Hard to tell really, sometimes things seem to just "work" in a way that seems too right to be merely chance, and other times they don't.
079. Do you believe in soul mates?: Not sure, I don't think it's as simple as 1. meet right person 2. live happily ever after... These things take work, though some people take considerably less work than others.
080. If so, do you believe you'll ever find yours?: It's easy to get something right then call it fate.

~Family Stuff~

Music Stuff~

121. What song do you swear was written about you or your life?: 'Can't Finish What You Started' by Motion City Soundtrack sums me up pretty well (but hopefully not this quiz)
122. What's the most embarrasing cd you own?: I think I have a 50 Cent CD Martin gave me somewhere.. No idea why =/
123. What's the best cd you own?: That I actually own and hasn't been burnt? France Ellul's 'Spirits of the Sea' (It's Celtic harp music and highly recommended)

272. Virgins: Fuck 'em =P... Seriously am I supposed to have an opinion? what they have (or haven't) done is their business.
273. God: I want to know if God believes in me
274. The Osbournes: The TV show? Dire, Black Sabbath were good though
275. Reality TV: Isn't real
276. J.Lo: Don't read the Cosmopolitan so I wouldn't know what she's upto.
277. Religion: Whatever helps you sleep at night, provided you respect my beliefs.
278. Emo music: Very little "real" Emo music is heard. (Fall Out Boy, Emo? What the Hell) Matchbook Romance were good though.
279. Valentine's Day: Healthy profit for chocolate sellers, florists, Clinton's and those bars where singles go to forget Valentine's Day.
280. Christina Aguilera's comeback: She came back?
281. Homosexuals: Whoever helps you sleep at night, just don't get in everyone's face about it
282. Abortion: A topic with too much in it to answer here.
283. Inter-racial relationships: Whoever helps you sleep at night
284. Murder: A sad fact of life, it'll never go away
285. Death: Another sad fact of life, but if no one died no one new could be born.
286. Obesity: Either live with it or get some exercise. Don't complain and do nothing about it.
287. Pre-marital sex: As long as you're responsible about it I don't see why not.
288. Terrorism: "Terrorist" is a phrase thrown around too much these days. Perhaps if we all got into a room and talked about things like adults we wouldn't need to resort to schoolyard bully tactics.
289. Pornography: As long as there's a market for it, it will exist.
290. Fortune tellers: As long as people "pass their palms with silver" they'll keep spouting vague fortunes that could be applied to anything that might happen.

Hello

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 16:52:54 +0200

Hello, my name is Jonathan Englefield and I trawl the internet under the pseudonym of Imposing Snail. I've created a little blog here so that when I feel the need to say something I can say it!
I'm not sure what, precisely, I'm going to say but I will try to make it entertaining and readable. Afterall you're taking the time to read this. You may wish to know a bit about me, but I think I'll leave that for another blog, as I wish to keep this relatively short. I guess the best way to do that would be to stop typing (Or, at least, start typing in a new post) So that's just what I'm going to do!
