[QUOTE=dj_venom]Well, I have a solution. Stick with me here.

He said the medicine is at his fingertips right? So how about we cut his fingertips off - yes, I know it would be painful, but think of the greater good - and then hide his fingertips, that way he doesn't have the medicine.

So, all in favour say aye.

AYE! :p [/QUOTE]

That seems a little.... er.. radical... don't you think? :speech:

I've been alternating between Neo-Citran and very strong, black tea for the last two days. There are times where I forget what I am.

And I'm in southern Ontariariario.

[QUOTE=Aramant]Dopamine! Well, that's a neurotransmitter... but some synthetic form of it, then.[/QUOTE]

More than likely I have access to it, but CE is probably far more capable of procuring samples. :) We need permission to have any drugs sent up to the lab.

He's an Easterner, dear. If he's from London I'll laugh like crazy.

I get like that, but that is just on account of the fact Brock University's History department does not allot time for me to sleep. Apparently we write more amusing essays in the lucid state after thrity-six waking hours... :o

[QUOTE=Aegis]If I recall correctly, I believe Amarant is attending the same university as myself. Though, my memory is fuzzy on this matter... :o [/QUOTE]

That would be bizarre, usually people in SYM are not *that* close to one another :eek:
Or maybe, since I'm stuck at the end of the country, I'm just not used to it.. :rolleyes:

Well, when you do the math, BC does fail to add up in many ways :o :D

OS barely lives across downtown. In fact, it would not be out of either of our ways to meet in Chinook Mall.

Yeah, I'm a Badger. I just finished my last exams today. I've never been in the Ian D. Beddis gym before. It's huge!

[QUOTE=Hill-Shatar]@ Aegis: 40% Lumberjacks, 70% Hippies?[/QUOTE]Well, more or less :D

I see someone else is familar with Will Ferguason :o

@Aramant: Poor sod. I had my last one in Davis last Saturday. Something about writing an exam on Canadian history at eight in the morning...

I am still trying to figure out why they rearranged all the gym names and exam locations. Though, the I. Beddis one makes sense, because of the capacity.

You forget, I have some roots in Ontario myself. I wouldn't necessarily dispute that statement :o :D

I think it is true actually. Some of my best work has been written when I can barely see straight. Even better if the tiredness is accompanied by a migraine... :rolleyes:
It would not actually surprise me if being in that kind of state allows us to access something deep in the brain :p

Unfortunately I'm allergic to strong black tea so I'm stuck with the herbal stuff :rolleyes: It doesn't have quite the same effect, sadly.

Yeah, going from Gym 1 and 2 to full names threw me. I was waiting in line for the wrong gym last week. And I've had an exam at the last day and time every year so far. Something about English and CPCF courses, I guess.

DW, it's radical, but necessary. :D

I'm guessing none others saw the option for change, perhaps Hill might like to take a look at the page back :p .

I find I can't write unless I'm under pressure of deadlines. Or in an altered state of consciousness. Usually from excessive caffeine consumption. My last paper, I was so jittered that afterwards I assumed it to receive a failing mark. I got an A.

I have a sudden urge to post this.... :p

A LUMBERJACK!

(piano vamp)

Leaping from tree to tree! As they float down the mighty rivers of
British Columbia! With my best girl by my side!
The Larch!
The Pine!
The Giant Redwood tree!
The Sequoia!
The Little Whopping Rule Tree!
We'd sing! Sing! Sing!


Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.

CHORUS: He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays 'e goes shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea.

CHORUS

I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing,
And hang around in bars.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around.... In bars???????

CHORUS

I chop down trees, I wear high heels,
Suspendies and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspendies?? and a .... a Bra????
(spoken, raggedly) What's this? Wants to be a *girlie*? Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!

CHORUS

All: He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaaaayyy..... (BONG)

Me neither, I'm a big fan of last minute assignments. It's easy enough when simply writing an essay to hand in the next morning, but one late night, I had to write two speeches and learn them both... I was proud of that :D .

Nice song, is that real or simply lyrics someone wrote?

That sounds *far* too familiar :o
Once I actually tried to give myself two weeks to write a 30 page paper. I found I couldn't even think about it until three days before it was due :rolleyes:

It is a wonderful dose of British humour, which is quite similar to the humour Canadians have developed. Humour which DW, myself and Hill are trying to impart upon SYM. Most of it is stuck somewhere between profound and idiotic, but we love it.

@Aramant: I believe coffee is the life blood of the student, while beer is definitly the water... :o

I find I'm too distracted by other things until it gets into crisis time. Usually video games. I didn't start even reading my philosophy textbooks until six hours before my exam today.
