GABIT attendees thread

[EH-T]

hehe. I'm afraid I have photographic evidence, Aunty EH-T, which is hard to argue with. It'd be fun to see you try though. You could blame it on a temporary madness, I suppose... I've heard it's infectious.

D'oh, realised after that I should have blamed it on a head injury!

It's possible that thread might have been funny enough to get me all the way through tonight's family birthday party and all the hijinks likely to ensue. Also, thanks for the reminder... I'm going to blame any embarrassing stories they tell about me on an unremembered head injury.

Excellent. Now all I have to do is figure out how to do video on my camera, download it to the computer and send it to someone.

This is me. Technologically savvy I am not. I can do video on the camera and get it onto the computer. However, converting and sending is a whole other thing. lol

Omg. I love shiny gadgets and prolly spend way too much on them. If either of you need help with anything just let me know and I'll be around somewhere to help!

I have a friend who calls me up regularly to walk her through the 'basics' of tech questions. The other day I helped her learn how to drag and drop music from her iTunes library to her iTouch. Heh. I was amused but she was ecstatic that she actually learned something new.


Ooh, and Welcome!

if you need help to convert the files, just tell me!

Oh so that was you!
I kept getting accused of being the culprit (but not sharing the shots at the ball...I tend to do non-alcoholic versions there)

Isn't the black cherry more of a deep purpley colour though? Hmmm ... definitely need to do some taste-testing *ahem* market research on this one!

Who was accusing you? I know the Gabit folk were well aware it was me. Black cherry is a very dark red. Couldn't find cherry schapps north of the border though, so ended up with cherry vodka. They were a wee bit strong.

You totally should have! I think anything weird that went on at AT6 came right down to multiple head injuries. Of course... there were a lot of weird things happening so we would have been a great experiment for science.

I actually vaguely remember what happened now. We were all relaxing near the sofa area on Sunday night and you were trying to convince me to go back to my room but I was feeling very lazy 'cause you needed something from yours (can't remember what, though) and eventually you were just like - "here, go" and you stuck your keycard down my top. It was all very exciting.

[NZNeep]

It was all very exciting.

Snerk.

Good grief.

1. But you are pretty ( as well as unique)

2. THAT'S QUITE ENOUGH OF THAT!

1. I think I had to grow into my looks. BUT, my mom was an incredible beauty, and I believe she always resented that people saw that and tended to forget that she was extraordinarily intelligent too. She wanted me to grow up not being a slave to what I looked like.

2. I just got badged! First time! *dances*

Black cherry. Tis why I brought black cherry flavored shots to TSE.

Spoiler:

During my chat with AT, MW and DK, I asked about the jello. All three of them responded black cherry. Mainly due to the dark red color.

Aha! Who knew? (Not a big jello eater here)

Me thinks it won't be your last either.

Did you know that Jell-O is made of gelatin (from the collagen in cow or pig bones, hooves, and connective tissues), water, sugar or artificial sweetener and artificial flavors, and food coloring.

Makes you want to not eat it any more?

[Chelle DB]

I reackon if you knew half of what went into our foods we eat, we'd all be very hungry or be growing our own vegetables & meat. You know what goes into a Spotted Dick right?
Gives the term "food for thought" a new meaning.

Oh btw, ames, I got some blue jelly today but they're out of stock of the other two blue flavours so Berry Blue it is. For now.

Not the Gabit folk - other attendees. For some inexplicable reason, I'm associated with jello-based activities. *observe tongue planted firmly in cheek during previous statement* Including one that happened at an event I sadly was unable to attend, which I think is pretty darned talented of me

I did, and yet bluey goodness remains a(n admittedly infrequent) pleasure. Of course, part of the reason I love bluey goodness is the flavour ('blue raspberry' has been a fav of mine since I was a wee kidlet), and the (larger) part is the fact that it stains my tongue blue

Jello also works quite well as a hair dye, if your hair is light enough to begin with ... although it does make your head itchy if you leave it on too long I turned a few heads when I went pink during my blonde phase (Yes, I was blonde for the last half of my senior year in high school. No really, blonde blonde. As in very blonde. Yes there is pictoral evidence, if you ask nicely/look hard enough. I'm actually semi-contemplating doing the blonde again for next November... we'll see.)

Oh, there a few dishes that I try to not think about what's in them, and just enjoy them instead. Haggis pops immediately to mind!
Oooooooooooh yay! So you have 3 different blues? I must do a taste-test comparison! LOL *huge hugs* Thanks hon! *bounces*

I've heard all the horror stories. I try to balance those out with the flip side which certainly helps the jello slide down a bit easier.

Yes, it can be healthy, too!
