I'm a bit apprehensive about going to sleep now. There was a big bang and the power went off a minute ago. I lifted up the circuit breaker and 'bang!' off it goes again. Turns out it was coming from underneath the sink. I've unplugged the washing machine and dish washer. I'll have to check it out tomorrow. :/

I think I will give an update on this even though none of you really cared anyway. lol

I got an electrician out who said there was nothing wrong with the wiring. He reckons it is the dishwasher. Maybe some water has got on to the wiring inside. That is probably what has happened as I haven't had a problem since I unplugged it.

I woke up this morning to a new little friend in my window:

Spoiler

Its as big as my hand and I don't know how to get it out of the window D:

In nicer news, I made a cake!

Sometimes it's like this

But most times it's like this

:O

20 pounds of TNT. It's all you can do shan!

And I want some of that cake.

There appears to be too much deliciousness there for just one family.

 

[shanshan310]

Cake is cookies and cream cheesecake Boyfriend just turned 21, so we are going to eat it and play dark heresy.

I feel like I should watch more of this show.

Perhaps it's a good thing that image didn't show up. Partly because of how revolting it is and partly because it would have took up most of the fucking page. lol

Still... it might actually be quite tasty. You never know. :/

Whenever something strange like that happens, just blame wizards. It's always wizards

So when I watched The Wire a couple years back, I burst out laughing at that scene.
I was like, "So, that's where it's from!"

Lol, I watched the Wire a couple of months ago and had the exact same reaction as you.

Beautiful cake, looks delicious.

Ah, Australia, when aren't deadly animals crawling around in every corner of your living spaces? At least you guys can potentially have pet koalas *( .,. )*

Oh god I don't want a pet koala. Those things are the devil. They screech and everything D:

 

[Rom1944]

Oh my god that spider seems ready to jump in any minute, i hate spiders so much because of my job i have to wander in tall grass and wilderness and most of the time i get a spider hooked or worst a tick, arachnid in general are a big no for me.

Beat me to it, I don't think I could live there. Too many animals that want me dead.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Where's that Australian creatures comic when you need it?

...found it!

Huntsmans are big babies.

To be fair, North America has its fair share of crazy animals. Cougars, wolves, bears, scorpions etc.

Yeah. It seems they have vowed to not rest until all dishwashers have been destroyed. They're dishwasher hating wizards. :/

Forgive me for not wanting to cradle it in my arms and make 'coochy coo' noises.

I kind of like the fact we have nothing that wants to kill us. I can quite happily walk into a bush to get a ball without something sinking its fangs into me.

Chavs?

Yeah, yeah. Unfortunately that creature is plentiful in these lands. :/

Hey, Real-GAF!

In like a week, I'll be running a Real-GAF Secret Santa. Now you can use all the personal information you have been quietly and secretly gathering about your fellow community members for good!

Haven't decided the details yet (whether it will be here or IRC, price limits, how I'll be taking participants (though PMs seem likely)), but feel free to throw out ideas. Match-ups will be decided via random number generator, so unless you have a REALLY GOOD AND SPECIFIC REASON for needing someone in particular like "I am going to propose to this person through Secret Santa and the ring is going to be really awkward and expensive if I give it to someone else" specific, it is going to be random.

I'll also write up a guide for how to buy for international people. If you live somewhere without Amazon or something and don't want your Santa to have to be burdened with trying to figure out how to get you gifts, maybe don't sign up? But I suppose that's up to you!

Anyway, I'll figure out details soon.

lots of rattle snakes in SoCal, oh and mountain lions and bears.

Chavs.

Way more dangerous than any of that Australian stuff.

I laughed a little harder than I should have.

Excellent idea. I'd participate.

 

[Professor Beef]

Hmmm. I have always wanted to send someone something for Beefmas...hopefully I have enough money for it.

 

[lazybones18]

Even with it being open book, the exam I just finished taking was still a pain thanks to one question in particular

 

[shanshan310]

Secret Santa sounds fun. Might work out pretty expensive for me to participate though, so I'm not sure yet.

D:
and earthquakes!

 

[Emitan]

I'm terrified of Secret Santa because I'm terrible at picking gifts. Don't think I should.

 

[leadbelly]

Is it bad that I'm not entirely sure how Secret Santa works?

I think I need to understand the details of the game before I know whether I actually want to join in.

Isn't it, everyone pulls a name out of a hat, and you have to buy a present for whoever it is?

 

[Professor Beef]

- People join the group
- Everyone is randomly assigned one person from the group to get a gift for
- Send gift by deadline
- Open gift
- Praise/curse out gifter

That's the gist of it, at least.

 

[leadbelly]

Isn't it, everyone pulls a name out of a hat, and you have to buy a present for whoever it is?

Oh. Seems quite simple. I have no qualms about buying someone a present, but it might be a bit of a hassle sending something internationally.

Shouldn't be too expensive. If someone lives in a different country (that has Amazon), you can usually just go to that country's Amazon and order something there without worrying about exorbitant shipping costs.

There's also Steam.

You can just send them an email with a geas in it that compels them to lick the dipstick in their car's engine. Same great taste.

I enjoy my tag not being 'banned'.

With a huge number of posters here using a .gif I rehosted on my webserver, I do actually have the opportunity to spread some image-swapping merriment. Haven't decided to what, though. Nothing so bad as goatse.
