... for my sociolinguistics project. ;)

I need to do an experiment (harmless, I promise) for a class. All I need is to get you guys together. Maybe ask a few questions, but probably not. Just observing :D

So? London-area people? Available on the weekend of October 21/22/23?
We can go bowling, see a movie, whatever. I just need you all to be together :P

Let me know if you're available/willing. Perhaps I'll even be kind enough to provide food....

I'd appreciate it, but having just one girl in a sea of guys would kind of mess up the experiment. Thanks though.

Attention wh0re :P


Typical female--wants all zee men to herself. :roll:




:mrgreen:


EDIT:

If one chick messes up the results, why not bring along a few more? Would that bugger up the results?

Well, the thing I'm studying is you guys in particular. I have certain variables I'm looking for (which I won't mention for fear of skewing results). And the criteria of the base population I need to look at fits just you guys. In particular Paul, Gray, Jon, Nate, Mike, Nik, Jason, and Bob (if possible). At least, thats what I had in mind.....








Also, I'm an Attention whore and want all you guys to myself ;)

Ah h3ll, it's a study on how mid-twenty-year-old-virgin-computer-geeks-with-numerous-collectibles speak. I'll save ya some time.





Go rent the 40 Year Old Virgin. ;)

So how does everyone feel about going to see the Doom movie that weekend?

We all want to on some level and it would give us some conversational topics as well as the opportunity to do so.

THen Ashley can study us and we get to hang out.

Everybody wins!

If I'm in town, I'm in. I have the perfect driving song for this outing. I just downloaded the 80 minute version of Haddaway's "What Is Love?"


EDIT:

I'm 10 minutes in..............still bobbing my head...........to the song, you homosexual pervert :P


EDIT2:
I'm 20 minutes in...............mild annoyance has begun to sink in.


EDIT3:
I'm 30 minutes in............I honestly don't know why I haven't stopped the song yet.


EDIT4:
I'm 40 minutes in............I've entered an almost zen-like state.........truly this is what the Buddha experienced.


EDIT5:
I'm 50 minutes in.........I'm awakened from my dinner plate eye trance by the yells of the neighbors. Their calls are something akin to "If you want your balls to remain connected to your body, turn the g*****n music off..........NOW!!!"


EDIT6:
I'm 60 minutes in..........I'm f..in..ding.........it........d...iff...icu...lt.....to......ty...pe


EDIT7:
I'm 70 minutes in...............my beard grown long, I'm the living embodiment of Rip Van Winkle.


EDIT8:
I'm 80 minutes in.............a deafening silence fills the air.....the song is over.

























EDIT9:
It's on repeat.

I could watch DOOM - but apparently I'm not interesting enough to study. Maybe I should go buy some transformers or start playing WOW fourteen hours a day.
