Hello peeps
How goes it?
Edit: love you all, thanks for the welcomes! Have a photo of the cat that comes to visit me sometimes, most recently a few days ago!
You're back! Fucking grouse man! This is such a tight little group, you know some people miss you when you're not here. I had to look at trains because you weren't here. I mean, I look at them anyway, but I thought of you and wondered if you were also train enjoying. Well, were you?
Edit; had alcoholic ginger beer at a park near a train station, sorry for effusive language. I'm ok.
Ay thanks!
Actually, no, not really. I caught a train home on Halloween (after a bit of a tiki tour around on the trams), but that's about it
Oh well, plenty of time yet!
I'm heading off on vacay next week, so I'll have plenty of time to catch trains then
Even plotting a trip to the railway museum, if they decide to be open
Be sure to post some pics!
Always! Remindns me, a few days after taking my break from here, I went down to Willys prom (one of the few places I hadn't been). Saw the cutest baby emus. So cute! I almost want one
BABI:
So cute! Did you camp down there?
Becomes one with the emus
No camping from me, unfortunately I don't even know how to, but it was still a cool trip. On top of the cute emus, there was also a cute parrot (?) with zero fear response trying to steal my chips. It kept landing on the table and walking up to my chippies, and every time I tried to shoo it away, it would hop back a step then just stand at me like "what're you gonna do? Hit me??"
The criminal wannabe chip thief in question:
welcome back!!! Want some tips? Super duper easy to get started. and legit one of the most amazing ways to de stress.
Hi Baku welcome back! ๐ค
Hellooo ~~(Frank Walker from national tiles)~~ forcey! How goes it?
Good to see you back. You missed strawberry day, but are just in time for golden syrup pudding ๐ฎ
THERE'S A STRAWBERRY DAY AND I MISSED IT??!?!?!?
(Maybe for the best. I forgot that I garden, and let my strawberries die, and went from a dense forest planter box of dozens down to 2 green sprouts I'm not entirely sure aren't weeds. I'm a fraud)
It's great to see you back here. It must mean things are going well again
Cheers Tom! Things are going better, I've been seeing a psych regularly, and am moving out next month. A little spooky, but it'll be nice to be like... A proper tenant with rights and all that fun stuff. The only downside is power companies are confusing, and I'll have bills
That's good to hear. There are told or there to help you compare prices because utilities are so ridiculous now, and there are no incentives to reward loyalty, so you can get the best deals by jumping around and changing company all the time
Yeah. At the moment I don't have much choice because I'm still under 18, apparently origin let me sign up with the assistance of an adult. They're exactly at the default offer, which I don't think is good because there were plenty of places that were under it. In any case, I've just got a little under 4 months to go, so that's like 1 and a bit bills
Once I turn 18, electricity, gas, and internet are probably all being changed every time I find somebody cheaper
BAKU โฅ๏ธ
JONESYโฅ๏ธ
I was worried about you, mate. Iโm so glad to see you pop back up
Thanks Jones, much appreciated!
ee the baku back!
G'day!
Heya
Yay Baku's back, alright!
Good! Well a bit stressy but good. How are you friend?
Do I need to prescribe an hour's off peak train travel? Trains fix everything :)
(Unless the trains are broken or otherwise turned into buses)
Haha my train home was delayed by 20 mins tonight in fact. But sitting in the sun waiting was also nice.๐
Welcome back!!!! How are you going?
GDAAAAAYYYYYYY
I'm alright! Keeping busy-ish, you know how it is
Hey Baku. Good to hear from you! I'm good thank you. Yourself?
Great to hear/see (read?) you CEO! I'm doing better these days :)
WE LOVE YOU BAKU ๐
Today is the day of the hearts
๐ฉท
Welcome back!
Thanks TW!
Hey Baku.
Welcome back!
I hope youโve been well!
Baku ๐ฎ, is that really you?
Maybe ๐ถ
What's happening in the land of the llabsy?
Welcome back! โจ
Just the usual: hanging out in DDT with the DDT fam, whinging about the weather and trying not to be lazy.
How about you? What have you been up to? Been on any trips?
Cheers llabs, not many trips from me, although I did head down to Willy's prom last month, and am heading to Adelaide next month
hey Baku. Nice seeing you. ๐
Hope you are doing well. ๐ค
Goonsy! Thanks! You as well!
I'm also BakuToo now, I'm not sure if I'll switch back to AZ yet, or stay on my SJW account, but just know I'm a real Baku, too!
Confirmed, this is me
Yay!!!! Nice to see you back, a bright light in a difficult week (for me anyway)
Aw thanks JK, that means a lot
Baku!! Howโs things?
G'day springsy! Things are well, thanks!
How are your things?
Not going too badly, thanks
