The Hangout: Providing insubstantial escapism for the unwashed masses!

[Evans]

I don't think I'm quite at a strangle-able level yet. But I'm getting there. ; I know it doesn't really matter, but it's just habit at this point. I don't see mess and get stressed out, but I just feel obliged to clean.

Exactly how I was. Nowadays, I just look passed it, but every now and then I get the urge to clean everything up. It can be quite scary, really. I just get into a strange state of zombified mind where I'll tune everything out, even my own thoughts, and start scrubbing away. Gotta admit, much like any form of work, it feels good to turn around when I'm done to contemplate what I have done.

But the kitchen is different. That HAS to be clean. Always.

[Evans]

Unfortunately it'd be permenantly sold out as long as Ray remained a member here...

Let's wait until he's done buying himself a bigger post count.

But, then, there isn't a limit anymore, is there?

Oh yeah, double click and I install to desktop in a jiffy.

You cannot disable my toolbar, though.

Figured. And that sounds hort.

Aiya, yeah, it's nice to sit down in a completely clean house. Plus I find cleaning kind of relaxing, anyway. It doesn't require a great deal of mental exertion, and most tasks will, like you say, just lull you into this strange zombie sort of state with their repetitive motions. I kind of like doing stuff like that when I'm not in a very good mood.

And yeah, I'm a bit picky about that too. My brother's kitchen in Japan was...frightening. I tried to ignore it, but within about an hour of being there I was cleaning. I don't think he minded, at least, but it was still a bit weird.

Oh, yeah, I guess there isn't.

And yeah, I noticed he was buying more posts. Any particular purpose?

[Elin]

nah, im quicker on the clicker.

i seriously have a scroll-wheel callous on my middle finger.

I have callouses on all my fingertips from piano. And a brace of Street Fighter thumbs from many years back...

HA! Interesting point. Ever since I have taken out of my life lying, manipulative sacks of crap, my mood has been better. House cleanliness, though, has taken a turn for the worse.

I used to do that.

Unsatisfied with his e-penis, I suppose.

see, i need to hang out with more europeaners. nobody in america uses "brace" in casual conversation anymore, unless its in reference to an orthopedic device.

i belive the majority wouldnt even know it's got more than the one meaning.

[Elin]

*shakes head disdainfully*

Besides, motions like that are far too vigorous. There's no relaxation in that.

...

And don't you dare say 'There is for me'. ;

Or more edumacated Americans.
