@catwing We’ll see you when you get back!

@rochellaine I watched Carousel tonight.

@rochellaine

Bye!

@catwing @seekjustice @valtmy I don’t know if anyone’s still here, but I’ll be leaving for now.  I don’t know if I’ll be back later tonight or not.

Bye!

@rochellaine

True. I’ve been learning imperial measurement in math lately and it drives me crazy.

Ah, I see. Usually, we’d say “so and so is five foot nine,” we usually leave off the inches, but still say the feet.

@seekjustice Yes, I know.  But we’re used to it, so we don’t really think about it I guess.

Five foot fourteen

And that’s where we differ. 😛  I see why you have to use it, because you use another form of measurement, but we would very rarely, if ever, say “he’s six foot three inches.”  We’d just say “he’s six three.”

@rochellaine

Numbers are the bane of my life.

You don’t appreciate ten because all your measurements are so random and weird and all over the place. In metric measures, everything is in ten–10 millimetres in a centimetre, 100 centimetres in a metre, 1000 metres in a kilometre. Its very easy to remember 😀

Five foot fourteen 😛

@seekjustice 😛 That’s hilarious.

Ah, numbers again, huh? 😉

What what?  We don’t appreciate the number ten? 😛  Haha, but I’ve mixed up the number of inches in a foot before as well.

Oh, there was a funny scene in a book where the hero was 6’2″.  At one point a kid looked way up at him and said, “how tall are you?” and then another man th…[Read more]

@catwing Sorry, I won’t be going. 🙁

@catwing 😛

@rochellaine

This is where the problem is, my friend. We use imperial measurements for heights because its sounds cooler to say “I’m 5ft 5in”, rather than “I’m 170cm tall”. However, I forgot that a foot is twelve inches, not ten. So while Justice is 5’9”, and Zac is 6’1″ that’s actually a difference much larger than two. 😛

But its not my fault…[Read more]

@catwing

Yeah, sorry. I’d come if I could, truly 😛

@seekjustice Oh, wait.  You probably don’t use feet and inches measurements in Australia, do you?  Whoops. 😛

@seekjustice I would imagine that’s because, like Clint Eastwood, he’s still alive and working today.  Frankie Avalon is 78 years old, but still tours the U.S. giving concerts.  (I got to go to one in February.  It was my Christmas present from my parents. 😀 )

Justice is short?!  That’s a new one. 😛  Even if Zac is 6’2″ (anything taller than…[Read more]

@catwing

Oh yes, I use okeydokey a lot. In fact, I thought it must have been an Australian thing. Seems not. 😀

Okaydokey, that’s fine 😀 I’m happy either way. You can read it even if you don’t want to beta read.

@rochellaine

In most of the pictures I saw on pinterest he was much older than that one that I posted.

Well, I wouldn’t have pictured Clint Eastwood as looking like Justice, but there we go  😛

I don’t really know what I imagine him looking like. He’s appearance has never concreted itself in my mind. 😀 The woes of being a writer, when you…[Read more]

@seekjustice @catwing seems to be the queen of curious expressions.  She says a lot of strange things. 😛 (potato-squash, anyone?)

But…I was wondering the same thing. 😉

@seekjustice I absolutely love Frankie Avalon. 😛  But about the hair, that’s why I said it was hard to find a picture.  His hair was curly and longer when he was younger, but by the time he got into his twenties it was that flat, thick style which wouldn’t work for Quillon.

Justice? Probably similar to a young Clint Eastwood:

What do you t…[Read more]

@catwing

Just curious, did you mean to say “Okaydonkey”? Is that something you say often? It’s a curious expression 😀

@valtmy

Hello to you too :

@catwing ‘Ello!
