You lot certainly know how to throw a diverting New Year's party, don't you? It wasn't quite on the scale of, say, fireworks above the London Eye, but it was extremely...well...diverting. Didn't expect to see her, so I suppose it was actually more than just run-of-the-mill diverting. Diverting with...the element of surprise thrown in, perhaps.

Is that what they were...? A-Ah, I don't think...you should eat the fish...

[voice] and_not_ginger January 4 2009, 05:20:26 UTC

Oh, yes! ...Wait. Is that what what were?

Neither do I. Certainly not. Wouldn't be right to eat the defenseless little thing. I have no intention of having it as a post-Christmas, post-New Year's meal.

The...Christmas Cracker...things..

What will you do with it then?

[voice] and_not_ginger January 4 2009, 07:55:07 UTC

Oh, right, yes. Amusing things, Christmas crackers. Quite popular in certain regions of Earth.

I'll just have to...keep it, I suppose. Look after it a bit. After all, it's not its fault that it was given as a Christmas gift, so it deserves that much. Unless I can find a safe place to let it go free, of course, although most of the water here doesn't look particularly clean, so that might be rather difficult.

I named mine Blob.

and_not_ginger January 4 2009, 05:23:51 UTC

Blob? Really? Oh, I quite like that! Blob. A very fitting name. Very appropriate. Eponymous, even.

beatsupboys January 4 2009, 05:25:05 UTC

Thanks! River gave me the idea.

and_not_ginger January 4 2009, 05:35:01 UTC

You're quite welcome. Who's River, then? Don't believe I've met anyone called River, yet. Well, not here, anyway. Sounds like she has quite the talent for naming, though!

You definately like to use the word 'diverting' a lot. Regardless, I found the new years... gifts a little tasteless and troublesome.

and_not_ginger January 4 2009, 05:31:55 UTC

Oh, I like using quite a lot of words a lot. Diverting just so happens to be the most applicable one for this particular situation!

And, well, yes. I suppose tasteless would be one of the more applicable words to describe the goings-on of New Year's. As well as troublesome. Extremely troublesome.

madwashu January 4 2009, 05:37:24 UTC

Agreed. I was chased around my apartment for what seemed like forever by a failed experiment. Not how I wanted to spend my New Years.

and_not_ginger January 4 2009, 06:01:38 UTC

Those visions were certainly quite good at dredging up painful experiences from the past, weren't they? Not exactly how I wanted to spend mine, either. Not how anyone would want to spend theirs, I imagine.

...That mention of an experiment, though. Sounds a bit fascinating. Are you some sort of scientist, then?

I'm not sure it would be an effective diversion if it weren't surprising.

and_not_ginger January 4 2009, 06:09:02 UTC

Well, depends on your use of the word diverting, doesn't it? Words are wonderfully complex little things, and this one is quite the interesting word, actually. Something can be entertaining, or just plain fascinating, without actually having to shock or surprise you. If you're using it to mean an actual diversion or distraction, on the other hand, then yes, I suppose you have a very good point! It would be a rather rubbish diversion without the element of surprise.

angelic_lawyer January 4 2009, 06:24:57 UTC

Ah. I suppose that's true. I was going by the latter definition, though.

Sorry, the Doctor is obsessed with words. ^^; and_not_ginger January 4 2009, 07:24:41 UTC

Well, then, you certainly have a very good point. That's what's so tricky about language, though, isn't it? Particularly Earth languages. Particularly the English language. Nearly every word has half a dozen different definitions. Well. Maybe not that many. But that's what makes it such a remarkable language to study, I think!

Which side of a chicken has the most feathers?!

and_not_ginger January 4 2009, 06:14:25 UTC

What? Oh, I see! This is going to be a frighteningly, charmingly bad joke, isn't it?

In that case - no idea. I completely give up, Yotsuba. Which side?

Yotsuba = way too amused shamrockchan January 4 2009, 06:18:10 UTC

THE OUTSIDE!

The Doctor = feigning amusement and_not_ginger January 4 2009, 06:28:23 UTC

Of course, the outside! How very...clever. Well. When I say clever I mean...droll. Well. When I say droll I mean...amusing. Mildly amusing. Charmingly mildly amusing. Yes, a very...charming joke, that.
