Cut/Paste

In my line of work, if you can call it that, I do a lot of apple-c/apple-v if you know what I mean. As in, cutting/pasting. So I think it would be a ballsout experiment for you to all hit apple-v (or control-v) and see what comes up and then talk about it. Here is mine:

why don’t you just shoot me then because right now you are killing me slowly.

i have a headache. look at what you’ve done to me. i’m a shell of a person. i used to laugh.

Hahahahahah that’s awesome!!!!!!! OK, that is from an email I just sent to my coworkers. OH well, now it is here. I was cross because no one pays attention to the schedule except me. It’s as if a schedule is really a suggestion to them. Like oh hello, you can take it or leave it, this is just merely an idea or a construct that may not make sense to you. PLEASE the last thing I want to do is to apply my deeply personal, completely subjective rules of TIME unto YOU. Why I even bother MAKING a schedule is a complete mystery. Anyway I cut it because I thought it was too dickish but then I was like wtf am I talking about, it’s all totally true, and put it back in, so there you go.

OK your turn.

Also: Homies. I’m behind and I’m sorry.

    la graine et le mullet

  2. Renato:

    (go figure)

  3. hez:

    no fair. it is morning here and i have only just logged on, hence nothing on my clipboard. of course i could try this later today, but perhaps i would cheat and make sure i have cut and pasted something profoundly witty and fascinating which impresses you all. i have no integrity.

  4. Alex:

    “pretty vadgey”

    I’m not even sure why I copied that to the clipboard; it was at least an hour ago. But there it is.

  5. Aaron:

    Plug: “’Things I overheard While Talking To Myself’ is in stores now, and it’s a huge thrill for me whenever you stop by. We’re giant fans. Alan Alda, everybody. We’ll be right back with Dinosaur Jr.”

  6. Ramon:

    “online@curbside.on.ca”

    I was emailing those bastards about my sweet bike cuz they have been delayed like 3 times already! They had the nerve to tell me that they tried to call me but my line was busy. Last time I checked my iphone could handle 2 calls at once. Oh, and FWIW, on my macbook air I can paste by tapping two fingers simultaneously and tapping paste. I realize that takes exactly double the amount of steps it takes just to hit apple-v, but I also realize that 90% of people can’t do it! I’m sorry, I just realized I am a dick…:(

  7. FLY:

    (mine turned out to be confidential work information, so, i can’t paste it here!)

  8. Pedro:

    It is not fair Annie, some of us are architects, so I cannot paste a jpg, some CAD lines or a whole InDesign file. So your comments blog doesn’t allow me to paste anything I have.

    If I would have done it this morning it would have been cooking ingredients for the receiptsI’ll do for my Saturday party

  9. annie:

    Renato: That means go figure?

    Hez: try it later today!

    Alex: Hhahaha that’s AWESOME. Everythign seems pretty vadgey to me if you ask me.

    Aaron B. Nice. I can’t believe Dinosaur Jr. is actually alive.

    Ramon: The tap tap paste thing is cool but I never use touchpads cuz i use a regular keyboard for my laptop. And have a mouse. I need ike a mouse nside my eyeballs that would be awesome.

    Fly: Ah, try it again later.

    Pedro: You can like SEND me the jpg and I’ll put it up and you can link to it here if you want. It’d be cool. I dunno if it’d be confidential or anything, but it’d be cool anwyay.

  10. Renato:

    No. It’s the title of a French movie I was writing about. Graine is grain and mullet is some cerela. I later discovered it’s spelled mulet. I have a serious problem with double consonants.

  11. annie:

    Renato: Mullet is like that awesome haircut with the business in front and party in the back. And it’s also a kind of fish egg, right? Are you thinking of millet? That’s a grain too. Double consonants suck. Why have two when you only need one. Efficiency. Dude that has a double too. Lame.

  12. Tracyene:

    Check for map in pocket.

    I have to type that over and over…my job sucks.

  13. Alex:

    A mullet is definitely a haircut. The one I had in high school RULED. OK, not really. But it is also a kind of fish — the whole fish, not just the egg. Millet is a grain, though if it were in French I guess it would be pronounced “mee-yay” or something.

    I am now recalling that my pasted phrase was part of a paragraph I was composing that briefly referenced the music of John Mayer. So I guess I must have been moving that phrase to the right place. But the final version ultimately read, “really, really vadgey.”

  14. Renato:

    A “mulet” is a kind of fish in French. Or some other kind of sea creature.

  15. annie:

    Tracyene: Haha what do you do for a living? Make map pockets?

    Alex: John Mayer is as vadgey as it gets.

    Renato: It’d be funnier if the movie was about the haircut.

  16. annie:

    This is Pedro’s cut/paste:

  17. Doretta:

    Hahahaha, I’m a Internet forum loser.

  18. Doretta:

    (My pasted thing was the code for blockquoting.)

  19. FLY:

    (tried, and it’s still confidential! hahaha…i’m writing procedures for the government at the moment…yes, it’s a crap task for an architect)

  20. FLY:

    aaaiykkk…?…what’s wrong with the formatting of the comments in this blog? :/

  21. FLY:

    pedro…i think your jpeg posting thingy has totally stuffed up annietown.

  22. annie:

    Fly: do you still see something funky? It looks good to me. I’m using Firefox….Pedro’s thing shows up fine.

    Doretta: Are you just trying out html tags or did you actually block quote something and it didnt’ come out?

  23. Doretta:

    Haha, my pasted thing was the html for blockquote–because I was blockquoting something on some forum. I’m a dork.

  24. squee:

    apple-c is copy. apple-x is cut.
