*puts on his discussion hat (at a jaunty angle)*

[Finnaz]

Good night (or early morning)

I'm Finnaz, or Finlay if you want my real name, or Fair Warrior if I want to pretend I'm actually some kind of Celt. I'm vegetarian. I try to oppose things like consumerism and such without sounding pretentious. Which is nigh on impossible so I give up and just tell sick jokes. I like hats (currently wearing a beret on top of a dreadsack). I would probably go more for some conspiracy theories if their main proposers weren't clearly insane (search Dr Deagle on youtube for more info, and lulz).

I tend to be a bit lazy when it comes to any sorta work. I'm rather un-confrontational. I'm generally prefer meeting new people to meeting old for some reason. I think it's because I can usually start a nice clean slate (I have a habit of making akward comments when drunk/stoned, so don't take anything I say personally if I do insult you)

Go ahead, ask away, if anyone's really that interested, which they aren't *pauses The Smiths for a second*

[Naoki_ninja]

I think you're perfectly spiffy. Want to skip along merrily down some random road for no reason with me? :D

[Peace-Phoenix]

Welcome to the forums http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif I joined this site when I was 16 and just getting into all things hippy. I consider myself less of a hippy these days, but I'm still hanging around. What got you into the hippyish way of life?

[lithium]

Hello and welcome along, nice to see another new face:) Do you think the people you talk of propose/believe conspiracy theories *because* they are insane?

[Finnaz]

^^^Most certainly Sir! To nowhereinparticular and beyond! *grabs jacket and empties a 20 deck into his mouth*

^^My Veggie-ness and commie-ness were what originally had me down that way. I've always been a pacifist (in any situation where it is viable obviously, I doubt the Castro bros/Che would have got very far with Ghandi-stylee marches. I've always kinda hated the system we live in, just recently I've started becoming a bit more conscious about it. Also, I've only realised recently how much our freedom is under threat from ridiculous 'anti-terror laws' yup, anti terror laws that stop peace protesters from going within 1km of Parliament, nice one.

Yeah so essentially, it's been a slow incline into hippieness. Yourself?


^Hmmm, tricky one that, I wouldn't say neccassarily no, I'd say it's more (with a lot of them anyway) to promote some alterior motive (a conspiracy inside a conspiracy so to speak) that Deagle guy for example, spends a lot of time mentioning how he sells some great medicines that can combat the evil mind powers of the space lizards that run the world.

I personally believe that, at the very least, the U.K and U.S governments have overhyped the threat of terror to enforce restrictive and oppressive laws. I probably would be more inclined to believe it (9/11 / 11/9) was an inside job if they'd just stick to a relatively sane explanation, rather than "there was no plane", "mini nukes were used" and my personal favourite "it was all a hologram".

Loads of the others seem to either use the standing they get among people to promote their own agendas, some are really antisemetic, some want a bit of money out of it, and some want fame. There's probably some semblance of truth in what they're saying, it just gets detracted from by all the nonsense.

[nerthus]

officially hello mister, how are you this fine evening?

you're name sounds so incredibly neo-nazi, fair warrior. :D but i love it, it's a very cool name. do you have any celtic roots then?

a hologram eh? :) excellent.. what a world we live in where the media has everyone questioning whether they did actually see a massive plane fly into two of the tallest buildings in broad daylight. i'd like to ask you a really abstract question like 'what is truth?' but i won't, it's too late in the evening for abstract ponderings.

can you tell us a sick joke? :)

:daisy:

[nynysuts]

You say you like hats! What's your favourite hat? I tend to wear hats a lot cos I crochet them, they rock!
Ermm, if you had to support one cause (animal rights, nukes, climate change etc.) and no other for the rest of your life, which would you support?

[Finnaz]

Ooh sick jokes first methinks, then on to morals. This one's a goodun, (so long as you aren't a royalist anyway)

How'd they know Princess Diana had dandruff?

They found her head and shoulders on the dashboard.

or

I heard Princess Di's been on the radio...

... and the steering wheel , and the windscreen.

I'd go further into the depths of depravity of some of them. (Maddie jokes, child abuse jokes in general, domestic violence jokes. I'd also like to point out that I find them funny mainly due to the levels of sickness, rather than me actually finding any of the subjects funny...except child abuse, that's a great laugh *jokes*)

Anyway, now to redeem myself hopefully.

Favourite hat would probably be the dreadsack my mum brought me back from Tanzania, nice and comfy! Then it's a tossup between my jester's hat and my beret.

I wish I was even half decent at anything that involves physical skill such as sewing and that malarky.

My name does sound a bit shockingly Aryan I know lol. My Mum was born and raised in the outer hebrides. But I haven't got any real gaelic blood or anything. Just a mixup of Aussie, Welsh and English really. Mongrel that I am.

If I had to support a cause and only that cause...hmmmm, tricky one that, I spooooose it'd have to be animal rights. Seeing as getting rid of the meat industry would help out the climate change cause inadvertently. Then I'd leave nukes though, damn, it's tricky that yeah. Yeah, definitely the animal rights one. VOTES FOR CHAFFINCHES NOW!

[nerthus]

lol niiice...
can't imagine there are too many royalists on here, to be honest.

mongrel is good :)

what's the largest number of hats you've worn at the same time?

i noticed you said on your profile thingy that you'd be vegan as soon as you'd got some recipes going. can i suggest that this is the only book you'll need? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vegan-Cupcakes-Take-Over-World/dp/1569242739/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=IY8YDX1568FVU&colid=ZAJW09PO63EE
i'm not vegan (fully omnivorous) but this book looks awesome. i want a vegan to buy it and make some yummy things :daisy:

if you could choose one 'house band' to play regularly in your bedroom, what band would it be?

[Finnaz]

Ooh, nice looking book. I am love teh cupcakes.

Most hats, I had a hat-off with a mate once, I managed 7, two woolly hats, a bobble hat, flat cap, beret, and three caps. He beat me though...top hat = auto-win.

If I could get a house band, hmmmm, do they have to still be around? I doubt I would ever get bored if I had the Bonzos playing every night in my room.

[nerthus]

yaay :) favourite cupcake? i think blueberry wins hands down..

seven is impressive, would've thought the bobble hat would unbalance it a little bit... not a great choice for a hat-off.
who would've won in a top hat-off, dya think? that'd be an incredible sight. :D

no they don't have to be alive, don't be silly. hmm, never heard of the bonzos, can you sum them up in four words for me?

are you having a nice evening?

hehe..lots of questions..

[Finnaz]

Do butterfly cupcakes count? Nothing beats butter icing. Otherwise I'd second your blueberry. The bobble hat wonkified things slightly I admit. A tophat-off would be brilliant, I need to invest in one really.

Bonzos, short for Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonzo_Dog_Doo-Dah_Band) rather marvelouslu trippy jazz rocky stuff from the 60s. Such lines as "I'm the urban spaceman baby, I've got speed, I've got everything I need" and "There's a woman coming this way with a rather marvelous baby ...kangaroo...excuse me miss...are you pro-shirts?"

Truly insane stuff, always cheers me up.

I'm having a rather nice evening, fed my nicotine addiction and am now about to cosy up to a bit of Jonothan Ross with a cuppa hopefully. Yourself?

[nerthus]

mmm buttter icing. that counts,and that is a fair point :)
hehe you'd need more than one tophat for a tophat off. it would involve an amazing balancing act.

i seee.. they sound good! cheering up is good.

don't think jonathon ross is on...sport relief night or something. unless you have him in your room,and you were just considering snuggling up to him. hmm. many uncomfortable questions there. i won't ask them.

what star sign are you?

[Finnaz]

I'd imagine a Ross cuddle would be quite lovely. I did realise that the usual scheduling was interrupted, but he did end up turning up anyway and I confess I did enjoy seeing the Top Gear chappies wreck Steve Redgrave's garden.

Star sign-wise, I'm a libra. Year of the ram too, which, weirdly enough, makes me likely to be a veggie. What star sign/year do you fall into?

[nynysuts]

Hmm, year of the ram, same as me that. Didn't know about the veggie connection!

What's your favourite smell?
Do you like guavas?
Did you know I'm getting strong deja vu here?

[Quoth the Raven]

Year of the Dragon here, get me ;)
Are you planning on going to uni? If so, whereabouts?
What are your thoughts on Marxism/socialism as a political ideology?
Should all drugs be legalised? If not, should any?

[Finnaz]

Hehe, so many qvestions! Smell, either brownies after you pull em out the oven (made myself hungry now) or tobacco, though that's probably just my nicotine craving receptor's favourite smell to be honest.

Guavas, never managed to have one on it's own, plenty of smoothies with Guava in, seems lovely enough. I remembered knowing you had deja vu there.

Uni'll probs be somewhere I can do something like Media Studies and Performance arts, maybe Bristol if I magically do well enough when it comes to As.

Marxism/Socialism, they're rather brilliant. They can be twisted for people's insane agendas, but then again, what can't? I'd prefer anarchy, (of the peaceful variety) but Castro-esque communism would be my 2nd choice (though admittedly preferably with a little more free speech).

I do believe all drugs should be legalised, government monitored and be kept to specialised cafes. There should be no advertising allowed for any drug (including alcohol) and there should be truthful government warnings about the dangers of each drug. That way, the users become less of a risk to themselves and others. The prices would plummet, meaning crime to pay for drugs would plummet. Violent crime associated with the drugs trade would plummet and police could focus on more important things, like better gun and other dangerous weapon control. Also, with the money raised from inevitable taxation of previously illegal drugs and the money saved from stopping the war on drugs. Then the NHS could be improved greatly.

[nerthus]

capricorn, and year of the snake :)

brownies ^_^ yay. gonna make some *special* brownies for shambala probably, if anyone fancies.. well i fancy so i will regardless, but we can make more.

*how do you feel about the green party?
*where's your favourite place in the world, so far?

[Finnaz]

*oops double posted*

[Finnaz]

My p'rents are going away for a few days at the beginning of the hols so much in the way of *brownies* shall be made. Just gotta find some way of hiding a lot of them till shambala. You reckon you could make brownies on a gas stove? I think the cannabutter would work, but not so sure about baking them.

Green partywise, I support every policy of theirs pretty much. Hopefully once people get more concerned about climate change they'll stand a greater chance of election. They'd certainly do a much better job than any of the main political parties.

Favourite places: The Hebrides (when it's sunny, or hammering it down, the inbetween is a bit bad though) or Tazmania, really beautiful. Don't think much of Tazmanian Devils though, horrible little violent things. Spend half of their time fighting and inbreeding, and the other half inbreeding and fighting.

[nynysuts]

If you lived in world war 2 would you conscientously object? Would you so something like drive an ambulance?

Whats your favourite incense?

[Finnaz]

I spose if I'd lived in WW2, I wouldn't've known about the atrocities...so I'd have driven an ambulance or something similar.

Incense, I had some jasmine ones a while back, but I got high and crushed em up into a joint. Tasted foul. Never tried them since. Any reccomendations?

[nynysuts]

Patchouli and Jasmine are my faves by far.

I found out about the smoking thing, Cept i just sat and inhaled a Lilac one. Could taste it all bloody night haha.

[Finnaz]

Haha, might need to get me some of them. and stick em in my pockets while I smoke. Keep the smell off.

[Quoth the Raven]

Haha, might need to get me some of them. and stick em in my pockets while I smoke. Keep the smell off.
Patchouli wards off "unwanted" smells, yeah ;) (I admit I've patchouli'd in lieu of showering sometimes).
On that note, are you a shower-every-day person, or a "dirty hippie" ;) or somewhere in between?

Do you think abortion should be legal? If so, up until what time?

[Finnaz]

I usually shower when my hair gets greasy, which is once every 3/4 days. So that probably counts as somewhere in between.

I reckon abortion should be legal. But only until the brain has developed pain receptors (can't remember exactly what time that is, something like 2 months) after then, I think it's a little too harsh. Plus I think it also allows for enough time to realise you're pregnant, and also choose.

You?

[Quoth the Raven]

Me, I think it should be legal at any point (as long as it's medically feasible), under any circumstances whatsoever. In my view the rights of the woman take precedence.. it's contrary to popular morality but an adult contributes more to society than a child.

[nynysuts]

That is such a male viewpoint!

what do you doodle?
whats your favourite popcorn?

[Finnaz]

Which one is lol?

Doodle, I doodle some wierd shit. It's usually either combinations of animals/objects, deformed figures, manga versions of people (that aren't that great before you go asking for one hehe) or just bizarre stuff. (I have a picture with me at all times of a massive chocolate digestive destroying a city.

Popcorn, I'd say toffee (in small quantities), but large quantities it'd have to be sugar. Damn, I want some now and all I have to consume in my room is a can of white star :(

[nynysuts]

More than me then, I have one pistachio nut and a lot of empty wrappers!

[Finnaz]

Ooh, while we're on the subject, (even though you lot are meant to ask me questions) anyone ever eaten a wrapper? I always eat paper ones, and occasionally foil. Never eaten plastic though.

[Quoth the Raven]

Yeah I've eaten paper wrappers, especially the ones that go on muffins, theyre awesome!

[nynysuts]

I have eaten sugar paper, but I've never eaten a wrapper haha. I've eaten foil by accident too, made me gag. Not a huge fan of warappers, funny texture!

[Finnaz]

Yeah, muffin papers are a must. Oh, and, muffinwise, I only really like the non-chocolate ones, or small chocolate ones. The huge ones are a little rich.

[Quoth the Raven]

Hmm, chocolate is nice but I'm allergic to the stuff.. bloody sucks.
On that topic, are you allergic to anything (that you know of)? Professional interest here now..

[Finnaz]

Chocolate allergy, ouch. Is that all chocolate, or just dark/milk/white? I'm allergic to cats, rabbits and some dogs (which is a bitch tbh, not allergic to my one though so yay)

[Quoth the Raven]

All chocolate, although I react less to white...
Whats your favourite animal?

[green-hair-blue-eyes]

mmm pistacio.

do you you fancy popin oer to ip chat for a hip chat?

[Finnaz]

Milky bars and anti histamines mmmmhmmmm

favourite animal, galapogos tortoises, due to their general chilledness.

I shall happilly oblige your chat request, tomrrow though. I am drifting slowly into unconciousnage.

[Quoth the Raven]

Haha, antihistamines do sod-all cause it's not a histamine reaction ;)

Paisley or tie-dye?

[Finnaz]

Eek, so no way of keeping it at bay then? Anti-histamines are bit shit anyhow, they just knock you out half the time.

Tie-dye all the way, much cheerier.

[nerthus]

to quoth - dude allergic to chocolate? that must suck...

how many galapagos tortoises are there left now?

avez-vous un myspace? msn? bebo?
let's all be as connected as possible. :P

what's been played the most on your cdplayer/mp3/computer recently?

[Finnaz]

There's different sorts if I remember that Life in Cold Blood program correctly. There's one that, because they were so easy to hunt and keep without food and water. They were all slaughtered for meat, except one called Lonesome George. Poor little/big thing.

I got a myspace ages ago, forgot what my login details were though. MSN would be finnrokz@hotmail.com

Most played music, top three would probably be Voodoo Child by Hendrix (reminds me of watching Withnail and I) , What Difference does it Make by the Smiths (nice and cheery) and that new Elbow song Grounds for Divorce. Which is quality.

[nynysuts]

If you had the choice of being deaf or blind, what would you choose?
Peanut butter, nuttella or jam?

[Finnaz]

Ooh I love contemplating that question. I think last time I though about it I decided deaf. Because the world generally looks a lot more beautiful than it sounds.

MARMITE! I defy the boundaries of your questions!

[nynysuts]

Oh yuck, marmite!!! I like twiglets though... I rediscovered peanut butter yesterday haha.

Do you believe in the new age in 2012?

[Finnaz]

I'm hurt by your yucking of marmite. I do love a bit of peanut butter on ricecakes though. Oh and apricot jam in quassonts (sp much?) .

You mean the Mayan thingy. Hmmm, sure would be cool, cynical side of me doubts it'll be true though. Mayans were pretty clever though. So hmmm, I shall have to wait and see, make my decision whilst on the brink of oblivion or whatever.

[nynysuts]

Don't take it personally haha!

[Finnaz]

*sniff* okay

[nynysuts]

Awwww, here, have a tissue.

Have you heard any grateful dead ever? Levellers?

[Quoth the Raven]

Following on from that, give us a list of your fave bands ;)

[Finnaz]

*dries eyes*

haha I'm listening to the Dead at the moment. Also luff the Levellers.

[nynysuts]

yaheyyyy! Think hipforums will have to do beautiful days next year!

[Finnaz]

Ooh yeah, bloody hell I need to get a job.

Fave bands/artists would have to be:

Hendrix
Dylan
Grateful Dead
Pistols
Clash
Simon+Garfunkle
Kasabian
Beatles (and Lennon's solo stuff)
Levellers
Nekromantix (psychobilly band)
Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band
Young Knives
Pink Floyd

Yeah that's all I can think of as of this minute.

[nerthus]

if you like levs you fit in here :) seems to be the official UK hipforums' band.

what book changed your life? if any. if you haven't encountered any life changing books then what's your favourite?

[Finnaz]

Hungry Caterpillar!

Thinking about it, I'd hardly say life changing, but Bill Bryson's travel books make me wanna up and go on a random journey somewhere. 1984 also hardened my resolve against fascism and that. Made me contemplate what I'd do in that situation.

Oh, and the hungry caterpillar, because it taught me that overeating makes you metamorphosise.

[nynysuts]

Bill Bryson? Christ you really do fit in here...
What's your favourite Bill Bryson book?
Would you ever have a piercing? If so, what?

[Finnaz]

Haha, loved The Lost Continent and Notes from a Big Country, Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid also kept me giggling on holiday last year. Currently trying to hunt down the copy of Notes From a Small Island, mainly due to me being a bit of a Little Englander at heart and I like hearing people compliment it.

Always wanted to have one of those pirate style top of the ear piercings, couple of rings, I'd probably only end up getting it when stoned numb. Tunnels are the yuck though. Always wanted a tattoo as well. Yourself?

[nynysuts]

Notes on a small island is my favouritest!
Personally I want top of my ear (next week), nose (birthday), tragus (bit of cartilage next to your head) and any other random place I can be bothered to get.

Erm, have you had an easter egg yet this year?

[Finnaz]

Damn, need to double my searching. Next to your head? Wait a sec, just wikapedia'd it. Never realised the top ear one took up to a year to heal. Bloody hell I'm getting me a lot of skunk before I attempt that. I have a shite pain threshold.


Easter Egg, nope :( . I'll probs end up buying myself one at some point.

[nynysuts]

It stops hurting after a day! Just kinda weeps a bit for 6 months from what I've heard, only people with like no healing power take up to a year. I shall be on sugary drinks next week so I don't faint haha.

If fish flops and pish plops what does an antidisestablishmentarianismist do?

[Finnaz]

ArguesagainsttheremovaloftheChurchofEnglandasthest atechurchinBritainlops?

[Quoth the Raven]

Indeed.. well done! :hurray:

How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?

[Finnaz]

Depends if u has any:

[Quoth the Raven]

HAHAHA lolcats are hilarious..

Whats your opinion of PETA? How about Greenpeace?

[nerthus]

:D i just looked at that about an hour ago! yay for lolcats.

what do you have against metamorphosising?

what colour is your hair?

what are you studying at the moment?

[Finnaz]

I have wasted many a lesson trawling through lolcats images.

Hmmm, PETA, they never do anything over here do they? From what I can see though, they do some good work bringing things to people's attentions. Though they do come across a little bit loud and annoying on some of their stuff. They do make some pretty interesting points. But they generally get drowned out in the things they do like "I'd rather go naked than wear fur", which, as nice as it is. Doesn't do a lot to save animals in fur factories. As much as I know I'll probably end up on some government list for saying this. I prefer direct action (as in freeing and rehoming factory farmed animals, not the kidnapping/intimidation) groups, they get the point across (most of the time) and generally end up doing a lot more than alienate people by screaming murderer at them.

Greenpeace, they do some decent stuff. My view on Nuclear Power is quite in the middle. On the one hand, I know that it's a more useful non-fossil fuel method than most (so long as you ignore the fact that it takes fossil fuels to mine Uranium. But on the other hand, it has quite a bit of risk involved with it, and waste. Anyone willing to sway my view either way? Unlike the PETA one however, I feel that (whaling wise), both Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd do good work towards combating whaling.

[nynysuts]

You missed Holly's questions!

[nerthus]

:O i feel thoroughly ignored...

[Finnaz]

Damn, must've appeared during my typing!

Metamorphosising is the work of the DEVIIIL!!!

My hairs a bit of an random mix of brown and blonde. In certain lights it looks a bit ginger, actually, why don't I just treat you to a mugshot (taken today during graphics, of the unkempt side of my face, staring into the middle distance:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v603/finnaz/DSCF1453.jpg

Studying: Maths, 3Sciences, English Lit + Lang , I.T (half course), Drama, French, R.S+ Graphic Design.

Next year I'm thinking:
Politics, French, Drama and English/Physics.

[nynysuts]

Hmm, you remind me of someone I know... Well your hair isn't ginger anyway, not that there's anything wrong with ginger hair!

[nerthus]

apology accepted.

you look very pensive. :) what were you thinking, may i ask?

and nice mixture! go for english, tis good.

and refering back to nuclear power and stuff, i found some interesting articles on that subject on workers' liberty today. it wont sway you either way, it sits on the fence a lot like you do. which i think is a little silly really. can't have a revolutionary group being all indecisive like that. but it does give food for thought.
http://www.workersliberty.org/story/2006/01/29/time-reconsider-nuclear
if i could i'd sway you to the anti-nuclear side, so be warned. ;)

[nynysuts]

Me too, so watch out!

[Finnaz]

Hehe, article makes some interesting points. I'm obviously far more in favour of using a lot less energy than using nuclear. It's just most renewable energies are a bit moot. Most Wind turbines use more energy to create than they will ever make back, Tidal barriers cause massive species disruption and damage, same with a number of hydroelectric power stations. If we could get nuclear fusion going that'd be nice, actually it'd probably be even riskier. If we could all learn to live of solar power alone that'd be nice, pretty bloody useless with the weather at the moment though.

[Quoth the Raven]

If you had a million quid, what would you spend it on?

[Finnaz]

Probably sounds a bit like banging on the same annoying drum this lol, but I'd probably buy a small wood, then populate it with freed battery chickens.

Either that or use it to fund my amazing plan to start a commune/dope growing operation on a Hebridean island.

[nynysuts]

Like a chicken commune? Should have a hipforums commune!

[Finnaz]

That would be ultimate!

Always wanted to live here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulva

Only had a population of 16 back in 2001 so I reckon you could eeaasily get away with a drugs farm there. Check out some of the pics at the bottom. I could happily sit there for days, so damn tranquil.

[Quoth the Raven]

Ooh, that looks like a damn nice place.. bit cold for weed to grow quickly though.. you'd be OK with indoor hydroponics but otherwise it'd have to be greenhouses..

[Finnaz]

I was thinking massive greenhouses. I figure the amount of policing on the island is null so I wouldn't have to hide it or anything hehe. Plus, it's got a pretty good linkup to the mainland, so we could sell any excess in Glasgee every so often.

[nynysuts]

Looks awesome!!!

[Quoth the Raven]

How about St Kilda ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Kilda%2C_Scotland

Westernmost of the outer hebrides, furthest from the mainland haha.

[Finnaz]

Woooah, that'd be cool to live there, freezing and wet, but pretty cool.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pabbay%2C_Harris%2C_Scotland

That's as far West of the Hebrides as I've been, google it for a proper map based idea. It's in the south-west of them.

[nynysuts]

Do you like pomegranates?
Would you rather eat a toads leg or kiss a snake (with tongues)?
yay? or nay?

[Finnaz]

I've tried pomegranates, liked em, but hardly worth the effort it takes to get like the single gram of fruit out the thing.

Kiss a snake probs (so long as it's not poisonous anyhow), toad might miss it's leg hehe.

YAY!

[nerthus]

do you realise your karma post has overtaken mine in posts now? :D damn you.

[Finnaz]

Muhuwaha, I shall go ask you a question then.

[Quoth the Raven]

Got a bit to go before you overtake mine haha..

[nynysuts]

And mine!

[Finnaz]

That a wager eh? Well in which case, I'd like to profess my hatred of coffee in the hope I might trigger several pages of response.

[nynysuts]

How d'you know about our love of coffee???

[Finnaz]

I've been stalking everyone on the forums, by which I mean it was the first thing that I dislike that came to my head.

[nynysuts]

Haha, Chris is a caffeine addict...

[Finnaz]

I am, just tea only, milk and one sugar thankyouverymuch. None of that italian nonsense *grumble grumble price of bread grumble good enough for grumble grumble*

[nynysuts]

I don't like tea, but I have coffee with half a pint of milk and 3 sugars.... Hot choglette is nice too!

[Finnaz]

Mmmm Nesquick, even if it is made by Nestle I can't resist it.

[nynysuts]

Mmmmm, Yummy!

Describe your lighter
What is your favourite food of all time ever?

[Finnaz]

Lighter? I have a number of them, most out of fuel though. Got a blue one with a UV light, got a pink regular one. And a wierd (though quite good) red cylindrical one. Oh and some tiny one I with a shuriken shaped flint that I have to use my fingers to light with.

Favourite food, Fajitas! With refried beans, onions, red pepper, quorn nuggets, salsa and sour cream. mmmMmmmMMMMmmmm damn all this food conversation, I've had no lunch and I'm starving.

[nerthus]

mmm fajitas.

so, what's your favourite religion? :)

[Finnaz]

Hehe the old rebound eh? Taoism and Janism, generally the unobtrusive, peaceful ones, Buddha's the only religious figure I admire in any way too (yeah I know Janism is a hindu branch but meh)

[nerthus]

hehe yep. lack of originality tonight.

what's the best live gig you've ever been to?

[Finnaz]

Give it A Name last year was pretty damn good (emo bitch aren't I?), got me into Motion City Soundtrack and Kids in Glass Houses. They had krispy kremes there too, mmmmm.

[nynysuts]

Whats your favourite essential oil?
Where in the Uk would you most like to visit?

[nynysuts]

Oh and have you discovered the wonderful 'your posts' page?

[The manticore]

wat do you think is wrong with the world

[Finnaz]

Essential oils, never really used them, any you'd reccomend? I am a bit red blooded in some aspects to do with any sort of -atherepy type things I have to admit.

Where in the U.K, hmmm, still never been to Northern (or Southern, but that isn't in the U.K) Ireland, love to go there. Yourself?

I have discovered the wonderful your posts page, tis rather useful, though I use the "Your active threads" panel more generally. Currently arguing with gun nuts so it helps to get in quickly before they accuse me of ignoring them.

I'd say the biggest thing that's wrong with the world is the love of money, not entirely sure of the best course of action for solving it though.

[nynysuts]

I'd love to go to Ireland, and Scotland too. And the Channel Isles.

I like the smell of them combined, but I use tea tree oil a lot, its a good zit buster!

[Finnaz]

Oh yeah Tea Tree oil, forgot that was one hehe, I use a Tea Tree oil shampoo. only when I've run out of Natural Source though, what with it smelling a little funny and all.

[nerthus]

do you know any palindromes?

[Finnaz]

*thinks for a while*
U.F.O. tofu is the only one that springs to mind hehe, got anything better?

[nerthus]

ufo tofu, hehe, excellent. not an easy one to slip into conversation that.

my favourite one is this one by demetri martin. hard to believe it reads the same backwards as forwards.

Dammit I'm mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I'm in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level "Mad Dog".
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I'm a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I'm it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I'd assign it a name.
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
"Sir, I deliver. I'm a dog"
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I'm mad.

although to be honest, that's pretty hard to slip into conversation too.

[Finnaz]

Woah, hard to slip into a conversation, but a good way to plead insanity.

[nynysuts]

What's your biggest fear?
When are you happiest?
Do you own a pair of straighteners?

[Finnaz]

Biggest fear, hmm, I'm a complete hysterical pansy when it comes to roller coasters and speed+heights in general. One of the reasons I avoid theme parks like the plague.

Happiest, when I'm having a funny conversation with someone. That always cheers me up.

Straighteners? Nah, hair's straight enough as is. Not overly vain (or, to avoid causing offence to anyone with straighteners, I'm lazy) either. Got a couple of mates who use em, they have to spend about 20 minutes a day on them burning their hair off. Seems a bit of a waste of time imo.

[nynysuts]

Wow, i'm so happy, someone else who doesn't own straighteners!!!! My sister spends half an hour everyday frazzling her hair, s'rubbish.

Do you like rainbows?
Sun or moon?

[Finnaz]

Hooray for non hair melting!!

Rainbows, yeaaaaaahhhh! Only problem is whenever I see one it makes me wanna run off and keep going after it even though I know you can't reach the end. Which is annoying, because I'm invariably in class/a car when I see one.

Moon, you can stare at it for ages without going blind, and it's invariably out when the stars are, and stars are better than clouds to stare at. Also, around here, night time is actually the most chav-free time to hang out. Because they mostly live in near by places, and are year 9s (in my defence, there are about 30 of them). Night's the time when all the emos/stoners come out where I live, which is quality, 'cause I love meeting new people.

[nynysuts]

It's chavland round here in the dark, sucks big time. But Hitchin's the place to go for emos and stoners :) Shame i work Fruday nights now, else I'd have gone up there. Know what you mean about rainbows, they're awesome!

[Quoth the Raven]

Hmm, dunno if this has been asked, but favourite author? Favourite book?

[Finnaz]

Already been the life changing book question, but that's kinda different so...

Favourite Author, would say probably Douglas Adams, makes me rofl when I read. Shame he died before he could write more.

Favourite book? I'm gonna be a nerd and say the V for Vendetta comics. Really well made, thought out and still very valid today with all the infringements of rights and worries of war.

[nynysuts]

Do you beat around the bush or come straight out with it?
Whats teh strangest thing you've ever done to your physical appearance?

[Finnaz]

I'll usually beat around the bush for fear of causing offence, though I do blurt it out without thinking on occasion.

I'd say the strangest thing I've done was probably either until I started growing my hair, I had a number 2 cut. *shudder*. Either that or when I accidentally shaved half my eyebrow off, that was a bit of a balls up.

[nynysuts]

Ooo, shaved eyebrow, nasty.

Have we had favourite food yet?

[Finnaz]

I think so yeah, but what the hell. Fajitas! Avec red pepper, onions, refried beans, salsa, quorn pieces and sour cream. Mmmm. Oh, I just ate a Linda Mcartney mozzarella and spring onion pastie thing too, that was scrumptious.

[nynysuts]

Making me hungry!!! I haven't ahd dinner, all I had was some cauliflower cheese burger in the staff canteen, which wasn't so pleasant.

[Quoth the Raven]

Gah, I'm jealous.. destitute student here, I'm living off veggie sausage rolls and toast!

[Finnaz]

Now I feel guilty, and I'm starting to make the brownies for monday too lol. *shares a round of e-sandwiches with everyone*

[nynysuts]

*peers into snadwich* Not rainbow lace ones are they? Ah what the heck.

[Finnaz]

Oh yeah, gonna have to buy them tomorrow, a long with a lot of fags, I've got about 16 at the moment, but there is no way in hell that'll last me several hours in the potential cold.

[nynysuts]

Hmm, a flask of hot chocolate and another of coffee may be in order. And I might have to wear my poncho hehe.

[Finnaz]

I shall fetch additional supplies tomorrow. Mmmhmmmm, brownie cooking smell!

[nynysuts]

I might have an easter egg to donate, and some non-chocolate stuff for chris.

[Finnaz]

Oh yeah balls I forgot about that, Chris, do you reckon you can handle brownies? It's dark chocolate, but I won't put any chunks in.

[Quoth the Raven]

Well, dark chocolate is the worst cause I'm allergic to cocoa.. go ahead and make them, it's fine honest. maybe I'll have a nibble ;)

[Finnaz]

Oops lol, ah well, you can have some good ol' homemade rainbow lace sandwiches.

[nynysuts]

have you made the sandwiches?
Are ye coming into chat?

[Finnaz]

Sandwiches, nay unfortunately, no shops open today. I shall grab some wotsits in the morn' though. Supplies stand at:

8x Brownie-snaps
Few bags of wotsits
2 White Star
6 Superking Menthols
7 Royals
Some bread

ooh and yeah, *heads tae chaht"

[nynysuts]

I have:
16 biccies
A smarties easter egg
Some cereal
and whatever else I can drum up in the morning!

[Finnaz]

Ooh yeah hehe, I'll add small sandwich bag of shredded wheat to that hopefully (only non-chocolaty cereal in my house.)

[IlUvMuSIc]

I sure am confused... Oh well...

Why do you smoke? i mean... Why did you start? And why haven't you stopped?

[Finnaz]

I enjoy it, I know it's bad for me, but I'm not overly bothered. It does get demonised to the point where people assume it does nothing, but it does relieve stress. Probably a side effect of the nicotine addiction, but meh.

Not particularly worth all the health problems, so don't go starting, but I enjoy it so I'll probably keep smoking till my mid thirties when I'll have an epiphany of some sort.

I only smoke weekends anyway, a lot at weekends, but weekends all the same.

[nynysuts]

And what do YOU want to be when you grow up fin? (said in a very condescending tone)
Haha, and thanks for phoning me today, I rang out of credit cos I dropped the phone when my dad phoned me!

[Finnaz]

Dope smuggler :D I wish I'd put that on my A level entry form now actually, beats jobbing actor at any rate.

Nae problem on the ringing, I missed 5 from my parents apparently hehe.

[nynysuts]

I had about 20 phone calls, my ringtone is playing in my head, I had to change it!!!

[Finnaz]

Haha, mine's pretty appalling at the moment. Some Carnival music I think.

[nynysuts]

I had worried about ray!!!!

[nerthus]

are you a fan of sport? if so, any in particular?

i'm not sure if that's been asked already actually..

what does the last text in your inbox say?

[Finnaz]

Tiddlywinks! That or the ultimate sport, Buzkashi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzkashi)


My phone is largely unused, so my last text currently is
"Thanx 4 topping up with O2

And xtra 10% has been added on to ur top up."

[nerthus]

hahahahaha

"Buzkashi is often compared to polo. Both games are played between people on horseback, both involve propelling an object toward a goal, and both get fairly rough. However, polo is played with a ball, while Buzkashi is played with a dead animal."

that's quite a big distinction really. be a bit of a bummer to enter a game thinking you were playing polo and then see a goats carcass flying towards you at speed.

that's awesome though, in a grotesque way.

aww, 02 loves you.

on a more serious topic, what's your opinion on blood sports? that includes fox and deer hunting, for sake of argument, that thing with bulls in that hot country (my brain just turned off sorry), uh..bear baiting etc. etc.

[Finnaz]

I love that paragraph too, there's the odd video of it being played on youtube, it's basically just a huge fight.

Definitely not a fan of any sort of blood sport, gonna hopefully see if I can get involved with some Hunt Saboteuring during the summer. Same with any sorta exploitation of animals for sport really.

[nynysuts]

Would you take part in that tomato fight in spain?
If soemone dared you to dance in a clowns suit behind a news reporter on the BBC, would you do it?

[Finnaz]

It's a little wasteful of tomatoes, but I don't like em too much so YEAH, when is it actually? We could get a hipforums team down there hehe.

Definitely yeah, it'd be nice to know that my existence as a bit of a tit was permanently stored in an archive somewhere.

[nerthus]

Definitely not a fan of any sort of blood sport, gonna hopefully see if I can get involved with some Hunt Saboteuring during the summer. Same with any sorta exploitation of animals for sport really.what does that involve? do you lay trails? there are hardly any protesters left anymore at the actual hunt meets. they got a bit confused by the ban.

[Finnaz]

Yeah, the worst bit about the law is the fact that the police in the areas have no intention of enforcing it, because half of them are pro-fox hunting or scared of the power the awfully nice fellows on horses have. So they instead prosecute saboteurs for trespassing and other ridiculous things.

I think what it involves is either confronting the hunt, blocking them off, or making a lot of noise to scare the fox off/confuse the dogs.

[nynysuts]

How tall are you?
Do you like jaffa cakes?
Would you rather have a carrot or an apple?

[Finnaz]

Heightness, not entirely sure, bout mid height, 5'8 or 9ish I think.

I do love the Jaffa cake me, bit of info, it's a cake due to spongey bottom syndrome (throwing that out there to see if anyone gets the reference)

Carrot I think, less of a nuisance than the apple, (either having to cut it up or fiddling with my retainers for half an hour)

[nynysuts]

Ooo, you have the same apple trouble as me! Well apart from the fact that I still have wiry horrible braces which don't seem to be doing anything at the moment now the gaps in my teeth have closed up. Ah well, orthodontist monday, it's been 15 months now.

Moths or butterflies?
What is your opinion on gardener's world?

[Finnaz]

15 months? Ouch, I had mine for a year, now I got these retainers on the backs for 5 months. Not as bad as the braces most of the time, but if something gets caught in them, it won't EVER come out.


Moths, dunno why they get so much stick, they're out at night, plus, does any butterfly have a caterpillar like this?:

http://www.whatsthiscaterpillar.co.uk/Caterpillars%20submitted/pussmoth.jpg
(Pussmoth FTW, it has the cutest name of anything EVER, and it lives in the UK) Not to mention the fact that Hummingbird Moths are mad-pretty.


I've been known to occassionally dabble in gardening. I usually get interested after seeing those sorta programs and getting interested, then giving up after a few minutes.

[nynysuts]

Bloody hell that caterpillar's scary! but in a cugly way ;)

[Finnaz]

Haha, I've found one once, they're cuter when not staring at you, and you have to admit, it's impossible to say Pussmoth (as in pussycat, not puss filled wound) without smiling.

[nynysuts]

Hahaha, have to agree with you there! Just had a funny look off my dad cos I'm on his laptop in the livingroom..

[sandal-man]

ive got a pretty cool window garden been going since october i think. got some weed plants (one male starting to flower, one female debudded AWW man), some phalaris grass (DMT included), palm tree, two pine trees (hemlock and ?) morning glorys (heavenly blue tripping balls kind havent bloomed yet), amaryllis but its done blooming for now, trying to get some tithonia and some chamomile, a primrose, a shitload of impatiens one red one pink and the rest havent flowered yet, i did have some nemophilia (i know it sounds like dead sex (necrophilia haha)), i didnt plant the phalaris grass though, ive had it for years but always cut it before it had a chance to get too big. oh and a pretty orange cactus that hasnt shown any sign of life since i bought it.

[Finnaz]

Ooh you lucky bastard! I would happily put the effort into a psychedelic garden, were it not for the fact that my Mum knows nearly every plant and it's properties (and a book of the ones she doesn't know)

[nynysuts]

I'm growing (well attempting to grow) vegetroubles this year, but I've only got a 10 by 2 strip of garden! Couldn't grow anything funny though, community suppoort officer round here is REALLY overzealous, walks into gardens!

[Finnaz]

Serious? What a loon, the one round here'll do a lookout (just glance to see if you're out of it, not a search) for booze if you're hanging around at night, but 'side from that no trouble.

I (with my massive garden) have a load of veg space, but that's usually used by my Dad to grow more potatoes than it is humanly possible to ever eat.

[sandal-man]

ive got nobody that checks on me, its in full view of everything and my mom walks by it at least twice a day. been a good winter growing season and noones noticed yet.

[Quoth the Raven]

Erm, dude... why the hell are you growing a MALE cannabis? You DO know that only the females have THC in them right?

[nynysuts]

In case anyone was wondering where Finnaz buggered off to I think he was scared I was going to stalk him or something. So that's why he doesn't post anymore.
