[06:23] <BelleReveOnABender> not any
[06:23] <InSoMnIaC> that sucks
[06:24] <InSoMnIaC> well you've got us I guess, even though you don't know us that well
[06:26] <BelleReveOnABender> yes...I've got you =)
[06:28] <InSoMnIaC> what time is it where you are?
[06:28] <BelleReveOnABender> 8:30am
[06:29] <BelleReveOnABender> I tried sleeping
[06:29] <InSoMnIaC> it sucks when you can't sleep
[06:29] <BelleReveOnABender> I think I was unconscious for a few hours...the clock jumped, but I didn't feel a thing
[06:29] <InSoMnIaC> i always used to have hot mik when I couldn't sleep
[06:30] <InSoMnIaC> *mik
[06:30] <InSoMnIaC> *milk
[06:30] <InSoMnIaC> my sister used to say it smells of cuddles
[06:31] <BelleReveOnABender> ugh, milk...not the way I feel =o~~~~
[06:32] <InSoMnIaC> yeah, not the best thing if you're hungover
[06:32] <InSoMnIaC> frsh orange juice
[06:32] <InSoMnIaC> I normally have tomato juice, but I know that it's an aquired taste
[06:33] <BelleReveOnABender> I wasn't exactly planning this
[06:33] <BelleReveOnABender> back in college I'd get a bottle of Gatorade and keep it by the bed
[06:34] <BelleReveOnABender> enough about my misery...how are you?
[06:35] <InSoMnIaC> still reeling after my girfriend told me that she was no longer in love with me
[06:36] <InSoMnIaC> i mean, she must've gone insane Wink

[06:38] <BelleReveOnABender> wow, I'm so sorry =(
[06:39] <InSoMnIaC> i'll get over it, just a bit strange at the minute
[06:39] <InSoMnIaC> Smile

[06:39] * InSoMnIaC thinks of raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens
[06:39] <BelleReveOnABender> I'm a bad example at handling dissapointment
[06:40] * BelleReveOnABender is now known as BelleReve
[06:42] <BelleReve> you'll be better off without someone who can hurt you like that
[06:43] <InSoMnIaC> hmmm, it's not her fault
[06:43] <InSoMnIaC> she can't help how she feels
[06:43] <InSoMnIaC> and we're still friends, although I'm not sure how that ones gonna work out
[06:44] <BelleReve> yeah, that can get complicated
[06:45] <InSoMnIaC> thing is we were friends for a couple of years b4 we got together so it's extra strange
[06:45] <InSoMnIaC> all our friends are the same friends
[06:45] <InSoMnIaC> apart from work colleagues
[06:49] <BelleReve> Well, give her some time, and give yourself some time too
[06:51] <InSoMnIaC> yeah, anyway. you been drinking for any particular reason or just cos you felt like it?
[06:51] <BelleReve> it's poor advice, I know...but each day it's supposed to get better
[06:52] <BelleReve> like I said ... I'm a bad example for dealing with problems
[06:54] <BelleReve> I had an argument I couldn't win
[06:55] <InSoMnIaC> an argument... with someone or with yourself?
[06:56] <BelleReve> its complicated
[06:56] <BelleReve> I made a promise
[06:56] <BelleReve> without realizing the consequences
[06:57] <InSoMnIaC> talking about it might help
[06:57] * InSoMnIaC is good at listening
[06:58] <BelleReve> =X
[06:58] <BelleReve> I've already said too much...
[06:59] <InSoMnIaC> ok, no problem#
[06:59] <BelleReve> listen
[06:59] <BelleReve> you've all been such good friends
[06:59] <BelleReve> help me...help me find Josh
[07:00] <InSoMnIaC> ok... you know we will
[07:01] <BelleReve> I...I'm going to lay back down
[07:01] <InSoMnIaC> yeah, get some sleep
[07:01] <BelleReve> maybe when I wake up, this nightmare will be over.
[07:01] <BelleReve> you take care of yourself -- don't be like me
[07:01] <InSoMnIaC> maybe not today, but i can assure you it will be over soon
[07:02] <BelleReve> don't....don't give up
[07:02] * BelleReve has left #dreams

Then, she came back a few hours later.

[10:29] * BelleReve has joined #dreams
[10:30] <BelleReve> =)
[10:30] <BelleReve> hey, I just wanted to apologize for earlier
[10:30] <Corla> Hi
[10:31] <BelleReve> hi corla
[10:31] <BelleReve> I was a real butthead earlier
[10:31] <BelleReve> so I took a nap, and now I'm better
[10:31] <schap|afk> glad to hear you're better now
[10:31] <schap|afk> headache?
[10:32] <BelleReve> i've got some excedrin working on that
[10:32] <BelleReve> it's the constant feeling like someone's tipping the room that's bothering me now =O
[10:39] <BelleReve> whoaaaaaaaa, whoooooooooooooo, wheeeeeeeeeeee
[10:42] * InSoMnIaC likes that feeling
[10:42] <InSoMnIaC> we call it the "whirly pit"
[10:43] <BelleReve> it's like that ride at the carnival
[10:43] <BelleReve> the viking ship
[10:44] <BelleReve> it swings one waaaaaaay, then it swings the oooooooooother way
[10:46] <BelleReve> wheeee
[10:47] <schap|afk> oh I hate that thing
[10:47] <schap|afk> I can handle rollercoasters and all that
[10:47] <schap|afk> but the ship... brr
[10:48] <BelleReve> I hate heights
[10:48] <BelleReve> I could never do those rollercoasters that go fast
[10:48] <BelleReve> but the ship is nice and slow
[10:49] <Corla> I hate almost all the rides
[10:49] <BelleReve> once, a guy talked me into going on the ferris wheel with him
[10:49] <BelleReve> we got to the top, and it stopped
[10:49] <BelleReve> and I puked all over him!
[10:50] <BelleReve> no...I definitely don't like heights
[10:50] <schap|afk> haha
[10:50] <schap|afk> Very Happy

[10:50] <schap|afk> must've been a great date
[10:50] <schap|afk> what's the ferris wheel though?
[10:51] <InSoMnIaC> :-O
[10:51] <BelleReve> umm
[10:51] <BelleReve> big wheel, with these cage box thingies at the spokes
[10:51] <BelleReve> goes up really high
[10:51] <Corla> The wheel that has the chairs around the edges and goes round and round and round
[10:51] <BelleReve> yeah, what corla said =)
[10:51] <Corla> Slowly
[10:51] * InSoMnIaC stares at schap in disbelief
[10:52] * schap|afk is Dutch..
[10:52] <BelleReve> ummm
[10:52] <schap|afk> don't speak your language! so I'm allowed to not know
[10:52] <Corla> Yeah, how do you not know what a ferris wheel is?
[10:52] <BelleReve> google to the rescue!
[10:52] <schap|afk> too lazy to google, I got you guys to drop me the info Wink

[10:52] * InSoMnIaC will let schap off this once Wink

[10:53] <BelleReve> like this:
[10:53] <BelleReve> http://www.laphotos.com/pomona_ferris_wheel.jpg
[10:53] <schap|afk> ohhh
[10:53] <schap|afk> we call that a Reuzenrad
[10:54] <schap|afk> or eh.. a Giantwheel
[10:54] <schap|afk> see, not that weird I didn't know it Wink

[10:55] <BelleReve> well, if it's any consolation
[10:56] <BelleReve> if someone told me they were on the "Reuzengrad", I'd be all like, WTF?
[10:56] <schap|afk> there ya go
[10:57] <InSoMnIaC> no I'd know
[10:57] <schap|afk> google?
[10:57] * BelleReve PFffffffts at Insomniac
[10:57] <InSoMnIaC> heh
[11:03] <BelleReve> ooh, did you tell them, Schapin?
[11:03] <schap|afk> tell who what?
[11:03] <schap|afk> the vagrants stuff?
[11:03] <BelleReve> the freaky old man is gone
[11:03] <schap|afk> yesh
[11:04] <schap|afk> so did you go there today?
[11:04] <BelleReve> ugh, not today
[11:04] <BelleReve> yesterday I drove by the area
[11:04] <BelleReve> there was a lot of...activity?
[11:04] <BelleReve> I didn't stop to ask
[11:05] <schap|afk> hmm
[11:05] <schap|afk> what kind of activity?
[11:07] <BelleReve> they were just kind of gathering around
[11:07] <BelleReve> they looked like they were saying something, but they were pretty far from the road
[11:08] <schap|afk> saying like chanting, or just speaking to each other
[11:08] <schap|afk> ?
[11:08] <BelleReve> :/
[11:08] <BelleReve> it looked like ... almost like a political rally or something
[11:09] <BelleReve> one of them would stand on something, and talk for a moment, and everyone would cheer
[11:09] <BelleReve> then they would get down, and another would do the same
[11:09] <schap|afk> hmm.. that kind of sounds like an odd thing to do for vagrants..
[11:09] <schap|afk> oh! AA-meeting maybe?
[11:11] <BelleReve> lol
[11:11] <BelleReve> maybe I should have gotten out and joined them then =p
[11:12] <schap|afk> you should, next time Wink

[11:12] <schap|afk> I wonder what they were doing there
[11:14] <BelleReve> wow...it's snowing ... again
[11:15] <schap|afk> nice Smile

[11:15] <schap|afk> well not for the people at the beach..

[11:21] * J-sleep has joined #dreams
[11:21] <Midnight> Jules Smile

[11:21] <J-sleep> heya
[11:22] * J-sleep is now known as Jules
[11:22] * Jules is making meatballs!
[11:22] <Jules> v. exciting

[11:22] <BelleReve> hello, Jules?
[11:22] <BelleReve> nice to meet you!
[11:22] <Jules> hello pretty dream?
[11:22] <Midnight> Jules is a good friend of mine Smile

[11:22] * BelleReve blushes
[11:23] <Jules> parlez-vous francais?
[11:23] <BelleReve> no =(
[11:23] <Jules> meh, i don't think you're missing out Smile

[11:24] <Jules> half of our country speaks french, we're like canada, only tiny
[11:24] <Jules> so what's up?
[11:24] * BelleReve points at schapin
[11:24] <BelleReve> it was her idea =p
[11:24] <Jules> heh Smile

[11:24] <BelleReve> well, I'm recovering from a hangover, and it's snowing outside
[11:24] <schap|afk> oh yah, blame it on me why don't ya!
[11:24] <schap|afk> Wink

[11:24] * schap|afk is now known as schap|dinner
[11:25] <Jules> ouch, do you have a good hangover cure?
[11:25] <Jules> cause that raw egg thing? really doesn't work Smile

[11:25] <BelleReve> I just got up from a nap ... it was a lot worse before
[11:25] <BelleReve> took a couple asprin, they're doing their job
[11:26] <BelleReve> we just talked about what kind of carnival ride I might be on now
[11:26] <Jules> you're in a carnival?
[11:26] <BelleReve> I said it feels like one of those big viking ships, that slowly swings up and down
[11:26] <BelleReve> only in my head =p
[11:26] <Jules> oh i hate those :/
[11:26] <Jules> can't it be a really fast ride with lots of unexpected turns and bumps and a freefall at the end?
[11:26] <BelleReve> yeah, noone seems to like those =(
[11:27] <Jules> those are cool!
[11:27] <Midnight> A rollercoaster?
[11:27] <BelleReve> meep, I don't like fast rides, or high rides...or god forbid, fast rides that go really high
[11:27] <Jules> lol
[11:27] <Midnight> Don't really like the freefall tho
[11:27] <Jules> how about the rotating cups then Wink

[11:27] <Midnight> but it has to splash through water at some point Smile

[11:27] <BelleReve> ooh, I can do cups
[11:27] <BelleReve> =)
[11:28] <Jules> so why are you slowly swinging up and down?
[11:28] <Jules> is it a metaphore or are you actually a viking?
[11:28] <BelleReve> I only *feel* like I'm swinging
[11:29] <Midnight> So at what part of the swing are you now?
[11:29] <Midnight> Going up or going down? Or comfily in the center?
[11:29] <BelleReve> ooh, I think I'm still leaning to the left a bit
[11:29] <Jules> i've been told you should always sit right in the middle of the swinging boat
[11:29] <Jules> so sit a little more to the right
[11:30] <BelleReve> hehe
[11:30] <BelleReve> I think this is going to be the last snowfall of the year
[11:30] <Jules> i bloody well hope so :/
[11:31] <Midnight> It was snowing here... I think our snow has drifted over to you
[11:31] <Midnight> It's melting here now
[11:31] <BelleReve> to think I almost missed it :\
[11:31] <BelleReve> I like watching the show =)
[11:31] <Jules> well i'm missing the sun now and i'll be cursing it in a few more months
[11:32] <Midnight> As long as you're inside, watching the snow, it's okay Smile

[11:32] <Midnight> It only gets bad when you have to go outside...
[11:33] <Jules> i've heard of this outside
[11:33] <Jules> highly overrated
[11:34] <Jules> although i think you can get library books there Smile

[11:34] <Midnight> you can get those online Razz

[11:34] <BelleReve> and DVDs too
[11:35] <BelleReve> though I usually go out to the store to get my newspaper
[11:35] <BelleReve> last time I tried to have it delivered, they threw it up on my roof for two weeks straight!
[11:35] <Jules> lol
[11:35] <Midnight> Nasty paperboy. I hope you filed a complaint?
[11:36] <BelleReve> naah...I got the message. besides, I don't mind the walk
[11:36] <BelleReve> gives me an excuse to get up in the morning...gotta go out and get the paper
[11:37] <Jules> i need an excuse like that
[11:38] <BelleReve> early, before it gets too busy out there
[11:39] <Jules> what time do you get up then?
[11:40] <BelleReve> I'm usually up around 5:45am
[11:40] <BelleReve> hmm
[11:40] <BelleReve> EST
[11:40] <Midnight> yikes... I sometimes go to bed at that time Wink

[11:41] <BelleReve> hehehe. I was always a morning person
[11:41] <BelleReve> even if I go to bed a 4am, I wake up at 6
[11:42] <BelleReve> I'm just used to it now...and believe me it's not always fun =)
[11:43] <Jules> then why do it?
[11:43] <Jules> what's there to do at 6am Smile

[11:44] <BelleReve> get the paper!
[11:44] <Midnight> heh, are you the only one up that early, usually?
[11:44] <Midnight> Or do you still have to walk past doom-teller vagrants? Wink

[11:45] <BelleReve> he's gone!
[11:45] <BelleReve> =o
[11:46] <BelleReve> or at least, he wasn't around yesterday
[11:46] <Midnight> really? just him, or all the vagrants?
[11:46] <BelleReve> ...I didn't go out this morning =( ...
[11:46] <Midnight> no paper?
[11:46] <BelleReve> no...the bunch out on Shoreline are still there
[11:46] <BelleReve> nope ... no paper
[11:47] <Midnight> I'd tell you to check the local newssite, but you run the local newssite Wink

[11:47] <BelleReve> nothing happens around here worth putting on the internet
[11:47] <Midnight> must be hard finding subjects for the newsletter then
[11:48] <BelleReve> I think it's just busywork...they're looking for a reason to keep me, or fir eme
[11:48] <BelleReve> if I don't quit first
[11:49] <Jules> why would you quit? getting paid to do a newsletter seems pretty cool
[11:49] <BelleReve> it's a headache...I'm not a reporter =(
[11:49] <Midnight> Jules: She runs the Appleharbor site: http://home.earthlink.net/~appleharborweb/index.html
[11:49] <Midnight> Smile

[11:49] <BelleReve> I have to find people to submit stories...then I have to argue about the content
[11:50] <Jules> sounds like fun!
[11:50] <BelleReve> every other submission is about UFOs or some other nonsense. I think people are just looking for attention, or want to make my life difficult
[11:50] <BelleReve> they all think it's a joke
[11:50] <BelleReve> but they're paying me, so I'll do it
[11:52] <Jules> it's the way of the world Smile

[11:52] <Midnight> better keep your eye on the job-openings. I'm sure you'll be able to find something you like doing Smile

[11:53] <BelleReve> if I quit my job, I'll probably move away from Apple Harbor
[11:53] <Jules> is that bad?
[11:53] <BelleReve> well, yes and no
[11:53] <BelleReve> no, because there's noone here that I'll miss.
[11:53] <Jules> you could move to a more happenning place
[11:54] <InSoMnIaC> with shops
[11:54] <BelleReve> yes, because I'm...comfortable...
[11:54] * schap|dinner is now known as schapin
[11:54] <BelleReve> happening place? you mean, like with people around?
[11:54] <BelleReve> I'm not really into crowds anymore
[11:55] <Jules> same
[11:55] <Jules> oh my boyfriend wants the laptop, bbiab!
[11:55] * Jules has quit IRC (Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com)
[11:56] <Midnight> same for me too. I'd love to live somewhere more quiet
[11:56] <Midnight> with more nature around Smile

[11:56] <BelleReve> aww
[11:57] <BelleReve> yeah, more nature sounds good
[11:57] <BelleReve> A cabin in the woods...with cable TV, an Internet connection, and a Japanese restaraunt that delivers
[11:57] <Midnight> sounds nice. Can I come and stay over? Wink

[12:00] * Jules has joined #dreams
[12:00] <Jules> re
[12:00] <Midnight> welcome back jules Smile

[12:01] <Jules> BF seized the laptop on account of sickness
[12:01] <Midnight> he's staying in bed?
[12:02] <Jules> yup, enjoying one of the advantages of small apartments
[12:02] <Jules> wireless everywhere Smile

[12:02] <Jules> this means I can play WoW in a bit
[12:02] <Midnight> yay you!
[12:03] <Midnight> aww... poor Stan tho. Tell him to get better soon Smile

[12:03] <Jules> he will, but first he'll whine about it for ages Smile

[12:03] * BelleReve has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[12:03] <Jules> as is the way of the sick
[12:03] <Midnight> hmm...
[12:04] <Midnight> Belle timed out?
[12:05] * BelleReve has joined #dreams
[12:05] <BelleReve> grrr

[12:05] <BelleReve> thanks!
[12:05] <Midnight> internet connection giving you trouble?
[12:05] <BelleReve> I can't live without my radio

[12:07] <BelleReve> wow, so wrong =p
[12:07] <BelleReve> depends on my mood, but right now ....
[12:08] <BelleReve> "99.9 The Electric Front"
[12:08] <Jules> what's emberassing about that?
[12:08] <BelleReve> it's not really what I would listen to...in public
[12:08] <Jules> i mean it sounds awful but not emberassing Wink

[12:09] <BelleReve> I just felt in the mood for something a little less...pop
[12:09] <BelleReve> ever since Raging Sellout announced he wasn't going to play the local scene anymore
[12:10] <Jules> what raging sellout was that?
[12:10] <BelleReve> I've tried listening to other stuff
[12:10] <Midnight> ah, raging riff?
[12:10] <Midnight> I read about that in your newsletter Smile

[12:11] <BelleReve> the rat bastard =(
[12:11] <BelleReve> his studio stuff doesn't compare to the live show
[12:12] <Jules> it hardly ever does Smile

[12:15] <BelleReve> yeah, I know =(
[12:15] <Jules> i found out sick people get even sicker if you feed them fries, meatballs and cheese sause!
[12:15] <BelleReve> I like when he plays Accoustic...sounds more like John Mayer than John Mayer =O
[12:15] * schapin is now known as schapbusy
[12:15] * BelleReve 's stomach starts turning
[12:15] <Midnight> Jules, stop messing up your boyfriend Razz

[12:15] <Jules> i thought he was going to puke
[12:16] <Jules> boy, you try to cook a loving dinner and this is the thanks you get
[12:16] * BelleReve takes a small sip of water to wash down that burning sensation
[12:16] <Jules> heh Smile

[12:17] <Jules> well i read the website
[12:18] <Midnight> did you sign up for the newsletter? Smile

[12:18] <Jules> and apple harbor does not look like an interesting town to me :�
[12:18] <BelleReve> it's actually quite boring =) which was part of why I moved here
[12:18] <Jules> no i must have missed the signup
[12:18] <Jules> you wanted boring?
[12:19] <Midnight> oh, I dont know. I like the pictures. It's always sunny in those Smile

[12:19] <BelleReve> send an email to appleharborwebSPLATearthlink.net
[12:19] <BelleReve> Yes, I wanted Boring =)
[12:19] <Jules> why would anyone want boring?
[12:20] <BelleReve> I don't like crowds
[12:20] <Jules> why not?
[12:21] <BelleReve> they make me nervous
[12:21] <Jules> what about friendly happy crowds?
[12:22] <BelleReve> I can watch those on TV Wink

[12:23] <BelleReve> The Ratt doesn't usually get too crowded. Even when Riff was playing, it was usually less than a hundred people, and the Ratt's a big place
[12:24] <BelleReve> I liked going there...but that place has nothing but bad memories now
[12:26] <Midnight> are there no places where you still like to go? Appleharbor must have something nice Smile

[12:27] <Jules> i only have nice memories of concert halls, great times of youth etc
[12:27] <BelleReve> home =)
[12:28] <BelleReve> well, Rathskeller's was me and Vic's place
[12:28] <Midnight> yeah... I guessed...
[12:28] <BelleReve> where we used to go, for dinner
[12:28] <Jules> and you broke up?
[12:28] <Midnight> There must be some good memories there too
[12:28] <BelleReve> it's also where that bastard was meeting with his whore, and got himself shot
[12:29] <BelleReve> so no...not many good memories left of that place
[12:31] <Jules> Rathskeller is a pretty weird name
[12:31] <Midnight> hmm.. I guess so. well... on the bright side, maybe a crazy vagrant will decide to burn it down Wink

[12:32] <BelleReve> who knows what they intend to do =p
[12:32] <Jules> i just read they were doign a ritual!
[12:32] <Jules> the sacred summoning of the spirit of the hobo
[12:32] <BelleReve> I don't know what they're doing =(
[12:33] <BelleReve> maybe they're celebraing International Women's Day?
[12:34] <Midnight> Having a sand-castle-building competition Smile

[12:34] <Jules> are they female hobos?
[12:35] <BelleReve> none that I saw
[12:35] <BelleReve> but I didn't stay to hang around
[12:36] <Jules> maybe they just got kicked out of one of the neighbouring towns
[12:36] <BelleReve> that's the weird part
[12:36] <BelleReve> noone knows where they came from
[12:37] <Midnight> Well, how did they arrive? They just walked into town one day?
[12:37] <Jules> not from the neighbouring towns?
[12:37] <BelleReve> and why Apple Harbor? Why Shoreline Drive?
[12:37] <Jules> how can you tell?
[12:37] <BelleReve> because noone was complaining about them before
[12:37] <Midnight> maybe they dont like crowds either Wink

[12:37] <BelleReve> lol, maybe that's it
[12:38] <Midnight> do they come into town to beg for money or something? what do they do all day?
[12:39] <BelleReve> that's the strange part
[12:39] <BelleReve> a couple of them would just kind of wander around town, but they never talked to anyone
[12:40] <BelleReve> there was one crazy old one, who was your standard "The End of the World is Neigh" nutcases
[12:40] <BelleReve> but he's gone now =O
[12:40] <Midnight> maybe he's taking a coffee break
[12:42] <BelleReve> he just...never showed up on his usual corner
[12:42] <BelleReve> it's weird...but people had just kind of gotten used to him being there
[12:43] <BelleReve> so when he wasn't, you noticed it
[12:44] <Midnight> Were any of the others in town today? Ah... you wouldn't know, since you stayed inside, of course...
[12:45] <Midnight> Talking of things that are weird and disturbing, did you get the latest weird email? Topic Accessdienied (in capitals, repeated several times)
[12:46] <BelleReve> today? I don't know
[12:46] <Midnight> no, yesterday, I think
[12:46] <BelleReve> I did get an email from Subject again...it was something about access denied, yeah
[12:46] <Midnight> yeah, that's the one
[12:46] <Jules> i have to go now, my duty calls
[12:47] <BelleReve> I liked the Robert Frost reference, but I still really don't understand them
[12:47] <Jules> talk to you guys again soon Smile

[12:47] <Midnight> okay, take care Jules
[12:47] * BelleReve waves to Jules
[12:47] <BelleReve> bubbye, Jules! Nice meeting you!
[12:47] * Jules waves goodye
[12:47] <Jules> er.. well Smile

[12:47] * Jules has quit IRC (Quit: )
[12:48] <Midnight> Hmm.. I've never read much Robert Frost. Maybe I'll look into it now
[12:48] <Midnight> seems as good an excuse as any to start reading poetry Wink

[12:49] <Midnight> I'm more of an Poe person. The raven is one of my favorites.
[12:51] <BelleReve> I had to read that in highschool...I was never really very interested in lit back then though
[12:51] <BelleReve> =(
[12:51] <BelleReve> I was a bad student
[12:52] <BelleReve> well, I was good at Algebra
[12:52] <BelleReve> so I figured that's what I wanted to do
[12:52] <BelleReve> 10=2x+4
[12:52] <BelleReve> 10-4=2x+4-4
[12:52] <BelleReve> 6=2x
[12:52] <BelleReve> 6/2=2x/2
[12:52] <BelleReve> x=3
[12:52] <BelleReve> =)
[12:54] <BelleReve> eeek, sorry
[12:54] <BelleReve> someone started a snowblower across the street...thing sounds like it runs on the souls of the damned!
[12:54] <Midnight> heh, turn up the music Smile

[12:56] <BelleReve> it was loooooud
[12:56] <Midnight> is it gone now?
[12:56] <BelleReve> I don't hear it anymore ... maybe it just does that when it's starting up
[12:56] <Midnight> probably. Maybe it needs some oil
[12:57] * Kender has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[12:57] * Kender has joined #dreams
[12:57] <Midnight> wb Kender
[12:58] <Kender> damn network Sad

[12:58] * schap|sleep has joined #dreams

[12:59] * schapin is now known as schap|afk
[13:00] * schapbusy has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[13:00] <schap|afk> sorry, gonna watch tv
[13:00] * schap|afk waves
[13:01] <Midnight> okay, have fun!
[13:05] <BelleReve> bubbye
[13:06] * Kender_ has joined #dreams
[13:07] * BelleReve checks Kender's hand for a return pass stamp
[13:07] * Kender has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[13:07] <Midnight> Guess, the return pass wasn't valid
[13:07] * Kender_ is now known as Kender
[13:07] <Midnight> ah, you are there Smile

[13:08] <Midnight> are you?
[13:08] * Midnight pokes Kender
[13:08] <BelleReve> hello?
[13:08] <BelleReve> !ping
[13:08] <Kender> I am
[13:08] <BelleReve> stoopid network
[13:08] <Midnight> yay!
[13:08] <Kender> dunno what's going on here Sad

[13:09] <BelleReve> what's going on where?
[13:09] <Kender> here at my network
[13:09] <Kender> stoopid disconnects
[13:10] <BelleReve> me too =(
[13:10] <BelleReve> you don't live in Apple Harbor too, do you/
[13:10] <Kender> no I do not
[13:10] <Kender> I have been helping out from the Netherlands
[13:11] <Midnight> Same as me and Schapin. We're Dutchies Smile

[13:11] <Kender> The Undutchables Smile

[13:11] <Midnight> Jules too sortoff... she's Belgian Wink

[13:11] <Midnight> but she used to live here
[13:12] * Midnight is reading Robert Frost
[13:12] <BelleReve> wow, that's a long way away from Apple Harbor :0
[13:12] <Kender> yes it is. Made it quite frustrating to be so far away when things were not OK over there
[13:15] <BelleReve> well, here it feels like you're in the next room over, so =)
[13:17] <Kender> I believe we've never met before have we?
[13:20] <BelleReve> I think you sent me an email once...but you never wrote back =p
[13:20] <BelleReve> nice to finally talk to you =)
[13:20] <Kender> indeed
[13:21] <Kender> sometimes I like to stay behind the screens and just help out my friends here
[13:21] <Kender> when they run into mysterious mysteries
[13:21] <BelleReve> well, it's good to have you on our side then =)
[13:23] <BelleReve> right now I feel like the whole world is a mystery
[13:25] <Midnight> well, at least its not boring Wink

[13:25] <Kender> nope, I'm way busy atm.
[13:27] <BelleReve> I just hope that Subject person is okay =(
[13:29] <Midnight> me too... but to tell you the truth, those mails don't really look very okay Sad

[13:31] * Kender is glad his decoder proxy works Smile

[13:31] <BelleReve> ?=O
[13:32] <BelleReve> whats that?
[13:32] <Midnight> Still didn't get it to work tho Sad

[13:32] <Kender> A little program that you use as a proxy for your browser
[13:32] <Midnight> We made some progress on the SIC site
[13:33] <Kender> then when you browse the SIC pages that are encoded, you will see the decoded version
[13:33] <Kender> Midnight: what's the problem?
[13:33] <BelleReve> what happened at their site?
[13:33] <Midnight> we found a login Smile

[13:33] <Midnight> But everything is coded
[13:34] <Kender> we found two didn't we?
[13:34] <Midnight> yep
[13:34] <BelleReve> woo, a login!
[13:34] <Midnight> Kender: I cant seem to change the proxy settings of my browser. <- feel like a nitwit now
[13:34] <Kender> IE, firefox or something else?
[13:34] <Midnight> IE
[13:35] <Midnight> yeah, a spelling error on the page turned out to be the password
[13:35] <Midnight> Good thing I'm a part-time editor Wink

[13:35] <Midnight> And Corla worked out the rest Smile

[13:35] <BelleReve> cool
[13:35] <Kender> Tools->Internet Options->Connections->LAN Settings->Proxy server
[13:36] <Kender> or for dial-up,choose Setting on your connection on the same last tab
[13:36] <Midnight> yeah, that's the problem. I dont have anything under lan settings. and if I enter the settings you mentioned my connection is gone
[13:36] <Midnight> I'm on a wireless network
[13:37] <Corla> I'm using the SwitchProxy extension on Firefox
[13:38] <Midnight> hmm.. I might try firefox
[13:39] <BelleReve> firefox? Wasn't that a movie, with Clint Eastwood, where steals a plane?
[13:39] <Midnight> if it was, I didn't see it
[13:40] <Corla> http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
[13:40] <Corla> It's a browser
[13:40] <Midnight> downloading it now Smile

[13:41] <Kender> hmm. works fine on IE for me. (although I normally use FF)
[13:42] * Corla rarely uses IE anymore
[13:42] <Midnight> might be a problem with my network
[13:43] <BelleReve> well, I think I'm gonna take a walk while it's still quiet outside
[13:43] <BelleReve> get some fresh air
[13:43] <Kender> dress warm!
[13:44] <BelleReve> ooh, I will!
[13:44] <Midnight> okay, stay away from scary vagrants Smile

[13:44] * Midnight waves at BelleReve
[13:45] <Corla> Bye BelleReve
[13:45] * BelleReve waves
[13:45] * BelleReve has quit IRC (Quit: )
