Saline and cat hair do not mix

Catseye! The cup full of clear liquid on my desk is NOT water for you to drink! It's pH-balanced saline solution that needs to be kept in a state of static electrolysis for my contacts. If you insist on drinking from it while the little wires are there, not only will it give you one hell of a shock, but you'll also ruin the solution and I'll have to run the salinization cycle all over again.

And if you could return my #8 Torx driver, I'd really appreciate it. Yes, I know it's shiny, but I *need* it for my work, okay?

Dude, chill out. Can you not tell I'm teasing you here? You know, funny hah hah. Or should I stick smiley faces and little sparkley stars on everything I say?

Yeah, I'll reinstall my sense of humor when Angie's not being crazy, okay?

Uhhuh. Dude, being stressed about your girlfriend does not give you the right to be a raging asshole.

Fuck, even with my nil empathy for anything besides myself, I know that.

What the hell?

Jubilee? Asking you not to screw up the stereo and telling you how many systems we have isn't being a raging asshole!

Then maybe I mistook the tone but the whole big coloured buttons crack was pretty fucking condescending. And then it just went downhill from there.

It's not like I got shit marks in Computer science, Dude. I do know how to work electronics, even if from time to time I find it funny to make jokes about it.

Which is what that was, a joke.

*sighs*

Ladies, ladies. If you can't play nice and share your toys, I'm going to have to take them away from you.

Besides, if you want to see a REAL sound system sometime, wait until I can get Kyle and his sensitive little ears out of the room for a demonstration of what "Far Beyond Driven" can do cranked up to eleven.

I know you love your little speakers, but have you looked at this setup down here?

Hell, maybe you should. I can't make heads or tails of half this stuff. Wires every-goddamn-where.

Dude. I spend how many hours outside and you can't find one hour to manage to get some girl in your room to show her your "stereo".

Weak, weak, weak.

Kyle, my name is Jubilee. Not 'Some girl' Haven't we talked about this before?

Hey, I meant -any- girl. Not just you.

Like I make myself familiar with your schedule when you're out marking trees or whatever.

Climbing. CLIMBING. I use the -toilet- like everybody else. Christ. Feral doesn't mean I'm gonna go take a dump in the woods, okay?

Yes, we all heard about you and your "climbing" with that hot tutor lady that Mr. Dayspring brought for you.

What? We chased squirrels. She's like, twice my age. I have no chance in -hell-.

I mean, I'm not saying I wouldn't if I did have the chance, but she's like -twice my age-.. Hot. Crazy hot. But it ain't happening.

To quote some ancient-ass song: You've got it bad, got it bad, got it bad, you're hot for teacher.

"Chased squirrels"?

Re: ...

[identity profile] x-wildchild.livejournal.com 2004-12-01 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Squirrels. You know, those little fuzzy things with the tails?

Wait, no. Hang on. I'll go get one so you can see for yourself.

Re: ...

[identity profile] x-forge.livejournal.com 2004-12-01 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
You bring a squirrel into this suite and I swear to GOD, Gibney, I'll put Ex-lax into your kibble.

Once we isolate your room from the rest of the Mansion, I have some Deicide that would sound _lovely_ turned up to 11.

Sure, the bass will probably liquefy your remaining organs and limbs, but you'll go out with a smile.

Jubilee? If I wanted to be condescending? You'd know.

"See the pretty buttons? The big white one turns on the TV. The red one is to watch the TV. The blue one is to watch movies on the TV."

Or something like that. I'm not really in the mood to demonstrate it effectivly.

[identity profile] x-jubilee.livejournal.com 2004-12-01 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Whatever. Fact is, I'm perfectly capable of running the Stereo without blasting people to Kingdom Come. Try actually getting to know what I can and can't do before simply deciding for yourself what that is.

For the love of ... Jubilee, _I_ have trouble with the stereo. Stereos. Something like that.

The console you see is ... about a tenth of the stuff going on in there. I don't know enough about audio systems to program it right and it likes to be loud. Very, very loud.

Sometimes I think Dr. McCoy put an AI in there just to drive me nuts. Except that hardware's about a decade old and I was just starting to play with C++ and Pascal ten years ago, so there's no way he'd have known.

*nods* Okay. *sighs* Sorry, I'm highly caffeinated right now and I'm swinging between hyper and tetchy. Just gettin' kinda tired of being called stupid lately. Not that you were but others have and while recent actions probably prove the statement. Well, it's fucking galling anyway.

Re: ...

[identity profile] x-cypher.livejournal.com 2004-12-01 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not in the best mental place myself. Angie's -still- out in the boathouse, and I don't know what's going on with her.

Peace offering? Mario Kart?

*grins* My kind of peace offering. Mario Kart it is.
