Awww *big hug*
It is sweet to think of it like that :D

Truth is more like this: Someone donates games for the CG and every name is a seperate message and every code another message. Since not everyone seems to know about starting a new line by shift+enter :P
I think the record of message notifications I saw was 31. Turned out in the end it were only messages by 4-5 persons, but seeing that first was a bit of a shock o.O

People sometimes get irritated with me for not doing that, but I can't help it. I type as I think, I don't plan it all out ahead of time. Bad habit, I know, but it's either that or I lose my train of thought and start musing about the universe and this grand, cosmic riddle we know as life, with its effervescent pieces which all fit together in smooth, flush strokes despite the jagged cuts, leading us all together to a symphonic, vast orchestra playing a humoresque tune for humanity, a parody in and of itself while maintaining a strangely haunting yet hopeful rhythm of the endless tunes of love and war, which push back and forth in the struggle for dominance of the soul, as the mysteries are both internal, external, eternal, and pulsate throughout the-
*slaps self*

Ah yeah :) there are those games too... For some reason your story brings to mind Discworld. Probably never got halfway in that game - maybe I was just stupid, or maybe the logic of the game was, or both - I guess I'll never know ;)

Wadjet Eye games haven't been like that, fortunately. Or at least I can say that about Gemini Rue, Resonance and Technobabylon. There have been times when I've felt quite lost, but there has been always some small clue to get me back on track.
By the way - they are releasing Shardlight this Spring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_ciFhL-KnQ

*waves at thread*

Good afternoon everyone *big tired hugs and waves* :)

*big belated return hug* :)
*re wave also offers a big hug* ^^
Hey. How are you?

*huge hug* How are you? Are you having a good weekend?

I'm all right, just finishing up the last few things I need to do before the surgery tomorrow. Printing essays and packing my bag and such.

*waves back*
*hugs the air where ElT is now, and as a result, hugs ElT*

G'fternoon.

Ooh, that is some sophisticated waving. Not sure I can match that. ;) How are you doing today, Agent? Feeling any better?

*big return hug*
I'm somewhat tired. Just returned from Kiel. My sister was celebrating her birthday yesterday...which means i didn't sleep that much but otherwise i'm fine.

I see. Are you going to have some time to rest when you're done with the "few things"?

Hey Agent *big return hug*
How are you?

Did you have fun at the party? Good luck catching up on that sleep. :P Do you have to start early tomorrow?

Err ... eventually? I just need to finish up some more stuff for my thesis supervisor after this. :P I've been working ridiculously hard to get everything done this week, but at least I won't have to worry about much after the surgery.

*declares self the Champion of Waving™* B-|
Yeah, a little bit better today, thanks. Not shaking anymore, which is definitely a win, and makes me a bit less concerned.
Are you super-excited for tomorrow? :-)
A little better than the last few days (see above), plus I'm in a pretty decent mood. So don't pluck it up, eh? >:-|
;-p

I always try to be totally exhausted when I go for surgery. (seriously)
They lay me down, I fall asleep and next thing I know it's over. :-)

Hi Agent and ElT.

Definitely. Certainly helped that i already know some of the guests :)
Thanks...i guess i'll add it to my quite long "reclaim-missing-hours-of-sleep"-list :P
Well i don't have any classes but i have to work for the Copenhagen field trip..both for my group and my job :)

Oh my...the rest after the surgery is more than deserved then :)

That's good to hear - hopefully it'll get even better the next days :)
Hi Endre. How are you doing today?

Oooooh, Owl should make you a badge for that. ;)

Good to hear that. Do take care of yourself, all right? ;) Hopefully things will continue to get better.

Yeah, I'm kinda nervous ... :P And I'm guessing I'm going to be rather hungry as I'm not allowed to eat much (I get to eat a biscuit before 7 A.M. Woohoo!)

Hey Endre, how are you doing?

Oh yeah, that's a good strategy. But I'll likely be given some kind of sleeping pill/calming stuff before the surgery as well, so I should at least be sleepy by the time I get to the operating table. I didn't specifically want to have one but the anesthesist suggested that it might make things easier so I went along with it. Kind of seems like a good idea now. According to him, the people who refuse the pill "tend to be the ones who need it most". He had a face as if there had been a few people for whom he'd have liked to shove that pill right down their throats.

Lots of friendly faces is always a good thing, it tends to make parties more enjoyable. :) Oh yes, when is your field trip exactly? Are you excited for it?

Yeah ... I probably won't be able to get much sleep due to the stuffed nose at first, but I intend to just lie in bed for the next week and watch tv series. ;)

Doing OK here other than feeling my aches and pains, sadly that's normal. :-)
