This post ends on a vaguely disgusting simile

Unfortunately, most of my friends blame unsteady hands and get monthly memberships to nail salons instead of doing the job themselves-- so their nails always end up looking better than mine, but it also means that they are not very useful to geek out about polish with. Which is why I am extra excited when we talk about it on LJ! So here is a

ok no other comment i think.

GAV DO YOU REALLY NOT HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT HAVING TO FLY TO AFRICA FOR AN IPHONE APP

[cobweb_diamond]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT THING IS

LIKE

AT FIRST I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS ONE OF THOSE GAMES WHERE YOU LITERALLY HAD TO GO TO THE LOCATION FOR IT TO WORK. but that can't be right, can it? like those treasure hunts where hipsters have to go to Scary Places like south london and stand under a lamp post waiting to get signal so they can capture an imaginary elf or whatever?

[weatherfront]

BUT HOW DO YOU METAPHORICALLY GO TO AFRICA

fldjlf;jek;r that sounds like an awesome treasure hunt, though, I won't lie, I would like to go on it

[cobweb_diamond]

they have those treasure hunts everywhere! mainly with foursquare i think. idk. it is an alien world to me since i don't have a smart phone.

DON'T YOU -- BUILD YOUR OWN AFRICA IN THE DREAM GAME OR SOMETHING? i have no idea.

BUILD YOUR OWN AFRICA

Oh godddd I don't even know how that would-- but it sounds hilarious-- you can't, though ;___; I think it literally wants you to be somewhere in Africa, which on the other hand must be really good for people who live on the African continent, they have a SHINY DREAM that no one else does, despite the fact that it sounds exactly like all the other dreams and NONE OF THE DREAMS DO ANYTHING

[cobweb_diamond]

look, i don't know about games. MAYBE YOU LIKE BUILD PLACES OR WHATEVER IN THE GAME. i don't understand the point of games in general because i don't care about winning things, but this one sounds particularly odd because YOU DON'T APPEAR TO BE DERIVING ANY ENJOYMENT FROM IT AND ALSO DON'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS.

[weatherfront]

It is particularly odd, seeing as how it... isn't actually a game... I am not sure what it is, Gav, I think it is an ~EXPERIENCE~ more than anything, but wow that experience got old really quickly

"i don't care about winning things"

...Gav who are you.

[cobweb_diamond]

i think if you paid money for it it is a scam, ifrit. there are definitely better things you could be doing.

idk, man! i mean. i LIKE winning and everything but if the other people want to win more then i'm chill with losing if that makes them happy. IT'S JUST A GAME. basically i fail at competativeness. the only games i play are drinking games. ;DD

[weatherfront]

Thankfully it was free, but somehow I still feel like I was scammed.

SO BASICALLY ONLY GAMES THAT YOU PLAY TO LOSE AT ANYWAY. ♥

[cobweb_diamond]

ifrit i was about to comment with a terrible recent drinking game anecdote. but then i realised it was perpetuating stereotypes of scottish people as alcoholics. so instead i will tell you that i am a very sensible person who makes friends with sensible people and you will believe me.

Dear Gav you are one of the most frequently sober people I know*

*this is no longer even remotely true, but pretend that I am saying it to you in soothing tones as I hold your hair back out of the way

[cobweb_diamond]

:(((((((

well i am glad that delires is in inception fandom now because she drunk-comments all over the place as well. i realise that this is not EXCUSE, per se, but two is company? or something? of course, she is british as well so really we are not doing much, collectively, to hold the side up.

[weatherfront]

It is really all right, Gav, I'm sure that if the rest of us were in the UK we would also be drinking at any given time

[cobweb_diamond]

lies, all lies. everyone in america either lives in Smallville, which is dull as ditchwater because superheroes don't actually exist, or in New York, where everyone gets murdered on the other hand. london, on the other hand, is a sparkling jewel of wondrousness, where the streets are paved with gold. gold, chewing gum, and concert fliers.

[weatherfront]

I SNORTED (London sounds a lot like Washington DC)

Way to snub the entirety of the West Coast ;___; ...not that anybody who is not on the West Coast cares... actually, not that the West Coast cares, they don't care much about much of anything, so... GAV ARE YOU WRITING YET.
