23:42:34 Lisa: hello dmitry 23:42:39 Dmitry: good evening. 23:43:05 Lisa: I added someond on msn, but i think it was the wrong person 23:43:09 Lisa: and they were weird 23:43:13 Lisa: so i blocked them :) 23:43:22 Dmitry: good choice. 23:43:34 Dmitry: kate added me, but she doesn't seem to be social. 23:43:52 Lisa: she doesnt shut up when near me haha 23:44:07 Dmitry: oh, dear 23:44:27 Dmitry: so, tell me, what do you study at college? 23:45:07 Lisa: both AS and A2 physics [with modular astrophysics] chemistry and maths :) 23:45:09 Lisa: you? 23:46:23 Dmitry: interesting. english language, computing, mathematics, and physics. 23:46:31 Lisa: cool :) 23:47:17 Dmitry: you see, i'm a little lost for words, as it's quite a rarity to see someone studying such subjects. 23:47:28 Lisa: why is that then? 23:47:55 Dmitry: simply because the majority go for the "easy" subjects, not understanding how acquiring knowledge changes their lives. 23:48:22 Dmitry: there are also other trends, which i won't mention at this moment. 23:48:38 Lisa: no feel free to mention :) if you want to 23:49:46 Dmitry: not yet. believe me, being lost for words means the words that i do say are carefully thought about. 23:50:00 Lisa: oh okay then, does this not happen often? 23:50:22 Dmitry: that depends what you mean by often. 23:50:30 Lisa: erm... 23:50:36 Dmitry: not once in a lifetime, but not every day. 23:50:49 Lisa: thats what often usually means 23:52:32 Dmitry: indeed, but often is an opinion, so two people may not always agree on whether something occurs often. 23:52:42 Lisa: erm...okay then :) 23:54:23 Dmitry: did you study at a regular school before college? 23:54:35 Lisa: i did yes, but i did my GCSEs at 14 23:55:00 Dmitry: so have you been studying at college since 14? 23:55:11 Lisa: no i turned 15 just before i got my results 23:56:05 Lisa: so i've been at college since 15 23:56:12 Dmitry: are you sixteen now? 23:56:20 Lisa: yep 23:56:33 Dmitry: i see. since this month, i am a year older. 23:56:40 Lisa: and how old are you? 23:56:58 Dmitry: well, uh, seventeen.. 23:57:10 Lisa: aww, when was your b'day? 23:57:28 Dmitry: the third of december. 23:57:58 Dmitry: i'm guessing yours is in july sometime. 23:58:03 Lisa: nope august 23:58:18 Dmitry: ah, i see. 23:58:26 Dmitry: what were you studying last year? 23:58:38 Lisa: only physics and chemistry 23:58:45 Lisa: i took two extra gcses 23:59:45 Dmitry: are physics and chemistry those two gcses, or did you take two gcses in addition to those subjects (and perhaps are retaking them this year)? 23:59:59 Lisa: no, they were A levels 00:01:30 Dmitry: unbelievable. i struggle to understand how you were able to do that. 00:03:01 Dmitry: i was led to believe that those who took gcses earlier and studied the more "difficult" subjects went to some secret colleges. y'see, my school didn't consist of good students. 00:03:16 Lisa: haha, 'secret colleges' 00:03:27 Lisa: no i went to a crappy little sixth form near where i live 00:03:46 Dmitry: where do you live (if you don't mind me asking)? 00:03:55 Lisa: near southampton 00:04:19 Dmitry: i see. 00:04:25 Lisa: you? 00:04:36 Dmitry: christchurch. 00:04:54 Dmitry: far away, as you said. 00:05:01 Lisa: did i? 00:05:13 Lisa: haha, you have a far better memory than me then 00:05:51 Dmitry: yeah, some time ago. i think it was on thursday, and possibly three/four weeks ago. 00:06:01 Lisa: thats very precice 00:06:08 Dmitry: i tend to remember some unnecessary details. 00:06:15 Dmitry: but my short term memory isn't as good. 00:06:24 Lisa: oh right 00:06:54 Dmitry: what are your plans after college? 00:07:28 Lisa: i want to go to uni, not sure what i want to do there, then join the RAF and be a weapons technician 00:08:10 Dmitry: you keep surprising me more and more. 00:08:15 Lisa: haha 00:08:23 Dmitry: are you serious? 00:08:34 Lisa: yes very 00:10:10 Dmitry: this is one example of when old usage of language is useless -- shock cannot be expressed with words. 00:10:26 Lisa: lol why is this shocking? 00:11:18 Dmitry: weapons technician in RAF after you study physics, maths, & chemistry is just something that i wouldn't guess you'd do. 00:11:56 Dmitry: perhaps physicist, computer programmer, but just, for some reason, nothing with the weapons. 00:12:11 Lisa: lol, i've always been interested in the military 00:12:18 Lisa: im an air cadet too lol 00:12:41 Lisa: am going for a gliding scholarship, and can fly a low winged monoplane 00:12:42 Lisa: :) 00:12:44 Dmitry: maybe i should become a veterinarian. cats are just lovely. 00:12:53 Lisa: i have two cats :) 00:13:11 Dmitry: reduce that number by two and that's how many i have, unfortunately. 00:13:17 Dmitry: i used to have a cat. 00:13:46 Dmitry: but then it was stolen by Hussein's affiliates. 00:13:55 Lisa: oh 00:14:51 Dmitry: well, i expected some form of, "orly", but i guess i'll just say the facts. 00:15:11 Dmitry: when my mother and i moved to england three and a half years ago, the cat was left in uzbekistan. 00:15:37 Dmitry: to my father, who apparently gave it to someone else a few months later. 00:15:54 Lisa: oh right 00:17:12 Dmitry: how ready are you for the exams? 00:17:18 Lisa: not very ready at all 00:18:00 Dmitry: ah. why is that? 00:18:11 Lisa: ive been really busy working 00:18:27 Dmitry: where do you work? 00:18:34 Lisa: TESCOs :) 00:19:09 Dmitry: that capitalisation of yours triggers me to investigate how the name originated. 00:19:22 Lisa: um...okay 00:20:10 Dmitry: i have interest in some useless things, unfortunately. 00:20:23 Lisa: oh right 00:20:59 Lisa: erm...all i know is that tescos is a jewish firm, and i work there :) 00:21:15 Dmitry: The Tesco brand first appeared in 1924. The name came about after Jack Cohen bought a shipment of tea from T.E. Stockwell. He made new labels using the first three letters of the supplier's name (TES), and the first two letters of his surname (CO), forming the word "TESCO". 00:21:32 Lisa: right 00:22:58 Dmitry: "TESCo" would be technically correct, but since it became so widespread to drop the capitals, i guess "Tesco" is fine. 00:23:03 Dmitry: see, i'm quite anal about writing. 00:23:15 Dmitry: and surprisingly, my english is better than my russian. 00:23:24 Lisa: wow, my english is poor (Y):) 00:24:15 Dmitry: i beg to differ. 00:24:21 Dmitry: much better than that of the aforementioned majority. 00:24:50 Dmitry: on a sidenote, ignore the seriousness that's attached to my writing style. 00:25:00 Dmitry: it's not meant, and i'm not really this formal. 00:25:46 Lisa: use some chatspeak :) i was merely writing in sentances cos i ddnt know wether you were okay with chatspeak, i dont mean that offensively though 00:25:56 Dmitry: on an unrelated note, i don't think a shot of cherry brandy had any effect on me. shame. 00:26:10 Lisa: haha, i wouldnt have thought you were a drinker 00:27:03 Dmitry: ah, i'm a huge fan of the chatspeak (usually mocking its excessiveness), and my sentences usually lack punctuation, capitalisation, and are full of acronyms and abbreviations. 00:27:16 Dmitry: i'm not fond of "u", "r", etc (unlike kate). 00:27:49 Dmitry: although i accept their usage, providing the person that uses them has shown that they have the ability to use their "correct cousins". 00:27:58 Lisa: okay then 00:28:21 Dmitry: also, i'm not a drinker as such. when there's something to drink, i'll drink it. that applies to alcohol mainly. 00:28:29 Lisa: haha :) 00:28:34 Lisa: good old alcohol 00:29:36 Dmitry: i second that. one day, i'll begin getting a healthy amount of it. 00:29:39 Dmitry: and possibly some drugs. 00:30:03 Lisa: nah, i would never do drugs 00:30:16 Dmitry: why is that? 00:31:00 Lisa: because all of them are bad for you, even like weed which everyone says is alright, prolonged use can cause psychosis and schizophrenia 00:32:11 Dmitry: give an example of prolonged use. 00:32:39 Lisa: it really depends on the person, it can cause those effects after using it once 00:32:43 Lisa: it varies 00:33:23 Dmitry: i see. well, as i prepare for trying, i will do the research. 00:33:33 Lisa: why do you want to try them? 00:33:45 Dmitry: to think differently for a short while. 00:34:12 Dmitry: a different view on world could lead me in finding some strong motivation for myself. 00:34:23 Lisa: or it could lead to an addiction 00:34:27 Lisa: or depression 00:34:30 Lisa: or self harm 00:34:32 Lisa: all sorts 00:34:33 Dmitry: true story. 00:34:43 Dmitry: there will be someone with me, i hope. 00:35:14 Lisa: why not, just, do something unusual tht isnt bad for you? 00:35:19 Dmitry: i wonder at what time i'll no longer be able to help myself as much as i "can" now. 00:35:35 Dmitry: what do you mean by unusual? 00:35:50 Dmitry: the likelihood is that i would probably do those things before i tried drugs. 00:36:54 Dmitry: looking at nature (as surprising as that may seem) would be one of the unusual things i plan to do. it will expand my imagination, which is something that needs to be done in order for me to see more possibilities for something. 00:37:11 Lisa: lol my imagination is fab 00:37:13 Lisa: ill teach you 00:37:34 Dmitry: and it would definitely be something that would improve my writing (not grammar, but poetry and essays) 00:37:39 Dmitry: sounds like a plan 00:37:44 Lisa: haha :) 00:37:45 Lisa: cool 00:37:59 Lisa: thinking outside of the box is what i do best 00:38:29 Dmitry: what one will never achieve is thinking outside the sphere. 00:38:38 Lisa: erm...okay then 00:38:48 Dmitry: think, think. why sphere? why is that impossible? 00:38:58 Lisa: um...i dont know 00:39:02 Dmitry: aww 00:39:22 Dmitry: also, in my opinion, facts become themselves if they are given enough belief. 00:39:38 Lisa: erm...yeah you lots me there 00:40:07 Dmitry: i tend to lose myself. that's a problem with leading myself through what i experience. 00:40:15 Dmitry: and getting help from others is something i very rarely do. 00:40:56 Dmitry: if that wasn't true, i'd probably be writing some letter to abelardo at 3 am in the morning, since that is when the true ideas come into my head. 00:40:56 Lisa: you need to let your hair down methinks 00:40:57 Lisa: go mad for a bit 00:41:09 Dmitry: ah, one day. 00:41:12 Lisa: lol 00:41:22 Dmitry: maybe if i don't go mad for a long while, i'll enjoy it most when i do it. 00:41:34 Dmitry: going "mad" will probably happen in university. 00:41:37 Dmitry: according to what i have heard. 00:41:42 Lisa: nahh i go mad all the time 00:41:44 Dmitry: but hell, it could happen this morning. 00:41:55 Dmitry: why? 00:42:03 Lisa: because im a pretty fun person 00:42:15 Lisa: i like to just go out and see mates for no reason 00:42:17 Lisa: and party 00:42:43 Dmitry: mm, i see. 00:42:53 Dmitry: positivity is a crucial thing. 00:42:59 Lisa: im always positive 00:43:11 Dmitry: as i gathered from the smiles you used today. 00:43:21 Lisa: i use them all the time 00:43:41 Dmitry: i rarely see people smile (in chat) 00:43:58 Lisa: here :):):):):):):) theres a few to mke up for it 00:44:05 Dmitry: i thank you. 00:44:13 Lisa: cool (Y) 00:44:26 Dmitry: now time to find the marking scheme for the june '05 physics paper 00:44:37 Lisa: oh how fun 00:44:55 Dmitry: the fun you're missing out on. 00:44:58 Dmitry: you should love physics. 00:45:02 Dmitry: you could love physics. 00:45:19 Lisa: i like physics, or else i wouldnt be taking it 00:45:48 Lisa: but i dont love it 00:46:11 Dmitry: then it's something you will do, i hope. 00:46:13 Lisa: thts too strong a word in my opinion 00:47:08 Dmitry: (not directly related to what's being discussed: we reveal so much by just talking. the words we use say so much about our lives.) 00:47:26 Lisa: erm...yep 00:47:29 Lisa: talkings good like that 00:47:38 Dmitry: do you understand what is taught in physics? 00:47:43 Dmitry: what has been taught, i mean. 00:48:01 Lisa: depends, i understand what ive been taught.... 00:48:11 Lisa: i dont really think to philosophically 00:49:07 Dmitry: about physics, that would be hard to do at our level. 00:49:31 Lisa: to be fair, im in the year above 00:49:34 Dmitry: have you done any of the papers we were given? 00:49:37 Lisa: and i dont need to know 00:49:43 Dmitry: at A2 level, in that case. 00:49:47 Lisa: lol 00:49:51 Lisa: nope havnt done any 00:49:55 Dmitry: why not? 00:50:09 Lisa: because ive worked nearly everyday 00:51:52 Dmitry: why do you work? 00:52:20 Lisa: for money 00:52:23 Dmitry: the obvious answer is to have money, which makes the question, "why do you need the money?" 00:52:44 Lisa: shoes :) to pay my mum, to buy usual stuff 00:53:11 Dmitry: if i may ask, what do you pay your mum for? 00:53:33 Lisa: travel, she takes me to lots of places i need to go 00:53:42 Dmitry: i see. 00:54:33 Dmitry: and one day, we'll be parents. i doubt it's possible to imagine what it's really like. 00:54:50 Lisa: i dont like children 00:54:58 Dmitry: why is that? 00:55:21 Lisa: i havnt done since i was younger, i feel uncomfortable around them 00:55:36 Dmitry: maybe being a mother will solve that. 00:55:41 Dmitry: do you plan on having children? 00:55:47 Lisa: no i dont 00:56:30 Dmitry: [converse of "music to my ears",] white noise to my ears. 00:56:43 Dmitry: i can only hope your views will change. 00:56:53 Lisa: meh, who knows 00:57:10 Dmitry: :) 00:57:29 Dmitry: first time i used a smiley in this conversation, i think. 00:57:33 Lisa: yep 00:57:35 Lisa: think so 00:58:08 Dmitry: how do you think you'll do in your as physics exam? 00:58:22 Lisa: erm...i hope ill do ok, but i dont think i will 00:58:51 Dmitry: is there any way in which i can help? 00:59:09 Lisa: no its okay, my pal chris is going to study with me when we go back 00:59:12 Lisa: thanks all the same 01:00:07 Dmitry: there won't be much time, eh, considering you have other subjects. 01:00:20 Lisa: no i know, ill find a way though 01:00:51 Dmitry: four days until we return, why not use them a little? 01:01:08 Dmitry: even though alex did say that this module can be "crammed", it's best to have unerstanding. 01:01:10 Lisa: i will do, i intend to use all of tues and weds 01:01:22 Dmitry: are you working tomorrow? 01:01:27 Lisa: nope 01:01:36 Lisa: family party 01:02:32 Dmitry: celebrating new year? 01:02:37 Lisa: yeah 01:02:46 Dmitry: did you celebrate christmas? 01:02:52 Lisa: yes 01:02:54 Dmitry: religious? 01:02:58 Lisa: nope 01:03:10 Dmitry: time for elaboration. 01:03:21 Lisa: im not religious? 01:03:47 Dmitry: not quite. you see, christmas is a religious holiday, but since you aren't religious, why do you celebrate it? 01:03:58 Lisa: presents 01:04:07 Dmitry: lisa, lisa. 01:04:23 Dmitry: should've probably used an ellipsis to show intonation. 01:04:30 Dmitry: but let's hope that was enough. 01:05:06 Lisa: lol 01:05:44 Dmitry: i'm guessing you like indie music. 01:05:48 Lisa: i do indeed 01:05:54 Dmitry: any other types? 01:05:55 Lisa: the msn name? 01:05:59 Dmitry: correct. 01:06:13 Lisa: erm..rock...80s [lol] um...some metal... 01:06:48 Dmitry: i see. what do you think i listen to? 01:06:55 Lisa: i have no idea to be honest 01:06:57 Lisa: so tell me :) 01:07:17 Dmitry: you'll have to guess first. 01:07:23 Lisa: similar? 01:07:25 Dmitry: second smiley -- :D 01:07:27 Lisa: haha country 01:07:28 Dmitry: guess, guess. 01:07:30 Dmitry: wrong. 01:07:37 Lisa: i dont know 01:07:45 Dmitry: old school rap and hip hop. 01:07:52 Lisa: really? 01:08:05 Dmitry: NWA -- If It Ain't Ruff is currently playing 01:08:06 Dmitry: indeed. 01:08:16 Dmitry: however, i also listen to some russian rock, and colin hay. 01:08:24 Lisa: oh right 01:08:29 Dmitry: not on a regular basis, though. 01:08:52 Dmitry: rap is the only genre i've been really interested in. 01:09:29 Dmitry: and colin hay because his songs have meaning, they are calm, and they were on scrubs. 01:10:13 Lisa: i see 01:10:37 Dmitry: by that response, i gather you either don't watch scrubs or don't like it. 01:10:51 Lisa: no i do watch it, and i do like it 01:11:02 Dmitry: bugger. i'm deteriorating. 01:11:12 Dmitry: or perhaps you are very unique. 01:11:24 Lisa: perhaps 01:11:33 Dmitry: which is probably the more correct answer, and a more positive answer. 01:11:43 Lisa: yep 01:12:15 Dmitry: here's a random question -- are you scared of ghosts? 01:12:21 Lisa: nope 01:12:36 Dmitry: if you were, for example, in a "haunted mansion" and there were some "spooky noises", would you be scared? 01:13:00 Lisa: not really 01:13:32 Dmitry: good. 01:14:06 Dmitry: although if the answer was opposite, i would've pasted you something i wrote down a couple of days ago regarding this. 01:14:20 Lisa: paste it anyway 01:14:38 Dmitry: it is interesting how some think that "ghosts", intangible forms of life, can cause physical events to occur. 01:14:58 Lisa: is that it? 01:15:11 Dmitry: it is indeed. i haven't written essays for a while now. 01:15:46 Dmitry: that are not for school or college, that is. 01:15:52 Lisa: oh right 01:15:57 Dmitry: haven't had enough time, or used that excuse not to do it. 01:16:01 Lisa: i dont write them...well ever :) 01:16:10 Dmitry: then you should do it once 01:16:13 Lisa: nahh 01:16:16 Dmitry: :( 01:16:16 Lisa: too much effort 01:16:40 Dmitry: effort is that which will bring you closer to the right path 01:17:02 Dmitry: and also, the sentence above the one pasted about ghosts: if the meaning of life was worth knowing, we would all know it. 01:18:57 Lisa: i see 01:19:39 Dmitry: just finished marking the physics paper. 48/50. 01:19:46 Lisa: well done 01:19:55 Dmitry: let's hope i get full marks in the second one. it's the ultimate aim. 01:20:02 Dmitry: thank you. 01:20:43 Dmitry: how do you find your other subjects? 01:23:19 Dmitry: problems with the internet connection? 01:23:25 Lisa: yeah 01:23:30 Lisa: it plays up a lot 01:23:37 Dmitry: who's your provider? 01:23:45 Lisa: i have no idea 01:23:48 Lisa: aol maybe? 01:24:11 Dmitry: well, that is interesting. 01:24:16 Lisa: why? 01:24:25 Dmitry: i expected you to know. :P 01:24:30 Lisa: erm 01:24:33 Lisa: nope i dont 01:24:37 Dmitry: thats ok :) 01:25:19 Dmitry: ah, btw, i have "emoticons" turned off... but i still appreciate the widespread ones, such as :). 01:25:28 Lisa: okay then 01:25:32 Lisa: i wont send any others 01:25:51 Dmitry: please do :P 01:25:53 Dmitry: i just enabled them. 01:25:58 Lisa: haha 01:25:59 Lisa: okayy 01:26:07 Lisa: RAWR i like that one 01:26:18 Dmitry: all i can say is that it's cute. 01:26:31 Lisa: lol it is indeed 01:26:41 Dmitry: i could probably say more, but 'cute' is the shortest form of saying it. :D 01:26:45 Lisa: yep 01:27:04 Dmitry: all these smilies are subconsciously lightening my mood. 01:27:12 Lisa: :} 01:27:24 Dmitry: what the 01:27:47 Dmitry: absence of nose & presence of moustache? 01:28:05 Lisa: no thats a smile 01:28:09 Lisa: not a moustache 01:28:19 Lisa: haha most of my emotes are weird 01:28:24 Dmitry: do share. 01:28:29 Dmitry: weirdness is a good thing. 01:28:57 Lisa: haha you wont like it 01:29:04 Dmitry: i promise you that i'll like it. 01:29:25 Lisa: hahaha 01:29:26 Lisa: ok 01:29:36 Lisa: dildo1dildo2dildo3 hahahaha, lol 01:30:00 Dmitry: well, that tells me how i "came off". 01:30:28 Dmitry: i could be at the computer writing an essay about sex and how we are afraid of it until four in the morning. 01:30:35 Dmitry: but i won't. 01:30:39 Lisa: lol haha you could do 01:30:49 Dmitry: instead, i'll review something i wrote not so long ago and maybe even show. 01:30:54 Lisa: okay 01:31:01 Lisa: [1][2][3] 01:32:31 Dmitry: in a few moments, i will finish altering the text. 01:32:41 Lisa: ok 01:32:48 Dmitry: also, i've no idea who that guy is. 01:32:54 Lisa: my old tutor 01:33:41 Dmitry: breasts, genitalia. the reason for the obsession is not the truth in some people's heads, unfortunately. the desire to be happy is, interestingly, associated with negativity. this desire is a specific one, however. one must realise that natural selfishness is actually evolving to become generosity, but it's still at a beginning stage. we are afraid of what we have; we are afraid of ourselves. 01:34:03 Lisa: rightttt 01:34:16 Dmitry: that's not a good response. :( 01:34:34 Lisa: lol tbh i dont understand things at gone one in the morning 01:35:34 Dmitry: i agree with you. i may not always understand what i say (...) at night, but i appreciate exactly that. 01:35:56 Dmitry: not being able to do something with the mind is only a challenge in front of me. 01:36:27 Dmitry: i usually express myself a little at times like this, and then edit those thoughts slightly the next day. 01:36:51 Dmitry: then read them again in a week or so to see if i still agree and add anything that i think is necessary, but i do that seldom. 01:37:04 Lisa: i see 01:37:25 Dmitry: see, saying anything that's on your mind could help you with some things, when you look at them later. 01:37:54 Dmitry: to simplify that, say exactly what's on your mind, not depending on whether it's inappropriate in any way. 01:38:47 Dmitry: have i lost you? 01:39:08 Lisa: no, im just having troubles with my boyfriend 01:39:14 Lisa: and am a bit upset 01:39:54 Dmitry: why? 01:40:13 Lisa: i dont know 01:42:19 Dmitry: mmm. if i could change things, i would do (let's forget about the positive effects of negative experience for the time being). the good thought should be that tomorrow morning, you'll [hopefully] be feeling better. 01:42:31 Lisa: no i wont be 01:42:45 Dmitry: is there a reason for that? 01:43:03 Lisa: i dont know 01:44:21 Dmitry: and i don't know what to say. 01:46:48 Dmitry: what would help me is expression and doing something i like. it seems best to leave you be, so i hope you feel better, and when you do, let me know. 01:47:09 Lisa: thanks
