If there was a button I could click to give you Cookies, I would be clicking it so hard right now.

No, most people here get it for the sports, although i do know someone who doesn't follow sports and he got Foxtel and the operator was shocked he didn't want it.
city trip on Saturday with a group, and already a quarter has dropped or is at the border of dropping out of it 
. Including the organizer (not that of a problem, since a plan has been made). Including the person, who I haven't seen longest (pisses me really off ).But can't really be angry, all due to not self inflicted reasons.

That sounds like a good idea, but I'd go crazy and want to build Warwolf or something full-sized. And I've really been craving a good, powerful medieval crossbow or composite bow. The composites are allowed at the range but are still pricey.

...I'm almost 99% sure after today that saying "She doesn't deserve you" is one of the generic responses to someone dealing with a breakup. Seriously. Three times in an hour or so this morning. I wasn't really amused.
You have an archery range? Gah... lucky you.
I have to do it in my backyard, which means every time I miss a 10 minute hunt in my neighbor's yard ensues.

My OpenOffice keeps telling me that I wrote counterintuitive wrong. I've checked several times and typed it again letter by letter.
I hate it when I'm writing in a foreign language and spell check thinks a word I just typed doesn't exist. It feeds off my insecurity and wastes my time.

An icecream company was running a competition where they were hiding a 1,000 cheque in the freezer of a shop each day around the country and giving clues to where it was on a radio station. I had been listening and said if it comes to my town I will go looking for it.
I was off yesterday afternoon and lo and behold the first clue pointed to my town so I went out looking.
I checked a lot of freezers maybe about 15 before the read out the second clue - which pointed to the second shop I had been in. It took me ten minutes to get across town and it had already been found by then.
The cheque had been hidden under the magnums - if I rummaged in the icecreams I would have found it!
Oh well.

Well that was a disturbing dream. It was a news report of an avian influenza outbreak. But it was as inexplicable as it was unsettling. Why would influenza make someone's limbs fall off? Why would a news network show that?

People can be so annoying. Yesterday, two formulas were given to find something. The first was well-known; the second, while new, was extremely simple and almost the same as the first. Ten minutes later, we were told to apply those formulas. I used the newer one, and provided my answer.
"No, no, you didn't do it this [the first] way."
"But I already found the answer using the second formula."
"But it isn't with the other formula. I'm not sure that it's the correct answer. I'll find the answer my way."
"It doesn't matter. I already found the answer. Check it, and you'll see it's right."
"That can't be the way it's done. *starts using first formula*"
*groan*
"Okay, here is the answer. What's yours?"
"*repeats answer for third time*"
"Wow, that second way worked."
Today, we were given another problem: "Show a circle who's area is four times the area of a circle described with radius as a diameter." (Or something like that. Either way, the instructions were fairly straight forward.)
"Do you know how that would look? I'm not sure."
"It says that the radius of the larger circle is the diameter of the smaller circle, so it will be drawn like this: [Picture]."
"No, it's saying the diameter of the smaller one is a quarter of the size of the larger's radius."
"No. I know that it means it looks like this [picture]."
"I don't think so. *works on different ideas*"
"It WILL look like this. Check the answer. I know it's correct."
"[After working on different ideas for five minutes before giving up...] Hmm, so the radius of the larger is equal to the diameter of the smaller."
*stares in silent triumph at the answer*
"Well it wasn't clear! How did you know the answer?"
*Gives explanation, pointing out the meaning of 'described'*
"Well how was I supposed to know what described means?! They never said it before!"
"It's been used in the book before."
"Where!? Find it!"
"*flips through a few of the 200+ pages* I know it's in there, but I'm not going to search through over 200 pages just to find a word. I know it's in there, because that's where I learned it."
"Well you couldn't find it, so it must not be in there!"
"

"No, no, you didn't do it this [the first] way."

That's a really dumb question. If you have two circles and one has twice the radius of the other, it will have four times the the area by definition.
