Fucking football fans under my fucking window at fucking three in the fuckng morning fucking singing "The Hearts are havin' a partyyyyy," and YOU DON'T SAY, I TOTALLY HAD NOT NOTICED THAT! SHUT UP! *headpillow* And then I overslept, and gaaaaah. My icon has never been more applicable.

[ETA] In case anyone thinks I'm exaggerating:

The Hearts Are Havin' A Party .. What happens when one's local football team wins the Scottish cup: SIEGE!

That's right up the street from me, just a minute's walk or so. And that was Sunday (late) morning; when they did the triumph parade-ette on Saturday, imagine that with people crowding in behind the bus as well. Yeah. [/ETA]

I want this. Badly.

Realisation: I won't be able to do the semi-traditional European Song Festival chat-in this year, as my dad will be here for it. Bah, I say. :(

oh my god. melle, i want you to have that. that is so fucking cool.

I don't even have a gardento put it in, but I covet it like a coveting thing! Like, in an almost sexual way!

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

oh, but. um. oh! you must have windows. you have an icon with windows! it could totally be attached to the side of your building. (i'm sure there would be no building code violations for GIANT THINGS OF AWESOMENES.)

That would work even better than buckets of cold water to scare off the loud neds at night, muahahaha!

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

I was just thinking that you could scare the crap out of the footie fans with one of those. You NEED it!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I so do, man. Possibly combined with a recording of Darth Vader saying something about the Hand of God or something. Yes. Totally.

Also, alskjdlaksjdkj icon guh.

Hee! That's one of the footie fans that could make as much noise as he wanted under my window.


because...yeah.

a;skldal;skd yesplease?

To be fair, i'm not the quietest of football fans, either, anmd I don't usually have much trouble with the fans, but this weekend was insane. Also, the regular chants of "Whoa, the Hibees are gay" set my teeth on edge, for obvious reason. (Not to mention, you didn't even fucking ,em>play the Hobs, you fucking twits. Gah.)

Ewww...people...ick.

Good luck with the escape! The weather is fairly mince so they might all die of hypothermia shortly.

Thankfully, by sevenish last night the crowd had mostly dispersed, save for a few (loud!) stragglers. But my god, with the scary on Saturday.

Ohhhhhhh. *stares* Melle, I...I think I'm in love. That is so cool. I want one! I wonder how much power it uses for, say, a minute of fun stuff.

It's all shiny and badass and *goes starry-eyed*

Tesla coils are quite easy to build.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I suspect the raw material would cost me, though. :(

[wibbble]

You can make /much/ smaller ones.

I've been spending a lot of time reading 'maker' sites and things - I'm sure I've seen a guide to building a tesla coil. Want a link if I find it again?

Made out of junk components!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

... Dude! *in awe*

[wibbble]

I get all this stuff from 'Make': http://www.makezine.com/blog/

I've noticed a few interesting knitting projects there, too...

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Oooooh! *adds syndicated account to friends*

[wibbble]

I actually haven't done that, just because it gets updated a lot and I don't want to drown my friends page.

It's awesome, though, and makes me want to set up a workbench and get back into electronics - and back into SecondLife.

... sorry, was I too loud again?
