Actually, typing way too fast as my parents were badgering me to 'get off that bloody computer and cook some dinner'.
I'll try again. I quite like any system that tends to chaos, if only to watch the confused faces of people who can't understand how anything so simple can get so complicated so quickly.

Schizm is a non-violent puzzle-solving computer game. Not that I have any objection to violent ones, just that I tend to get shot/maimed/otherwise destroyed before the end of level one and that's terribley disheartening.
Full of lots of puzzles, actually. With an astounding number in base 12 math. Not your average Sonic.
Also, I like maths. It's coursework I hate...

There's a hole in my creativity bucket and it's all leaked out.
OK, I won't tell the binary numbers joke... but here's one you should not be ashamed if you don't get:
What is the contour integral around western europe?
Zero. There are no poles in western europe.... actually there are some poles in west europe, but they're removable.
rob, it really is a quite funny joke. honestly.

That statement is either so deep it would take a lifetime to fully comprehend every particle of its meaning, or it is a load of absolute tosh. Which is it, I wonder?

Sarah B: ooooh! I've been looking for a decent puzzle solving game for *ages* - we play one every christmas, and have run out. I'll definitely suggest it to the folks (if I remember a little closer to the Yule season)
I drink to drown my sorrows. Unfortunately they've learnt how to swim.
That's a deeply obscure joke, though, you've got to admit. I wouldn't have a clue what you were talking about if I hadn't done a course in complex analysis.
Hmm, favourite thing is probably chicken breast, stuffed with pesto and grilled for a little while before wrapping it in bacon strips and grilling until the bacon is crispy. This way the chicken is always properly cooked but not burnt, and the bacon is divine. Serve on a bed of rocket and lollo rosso, with new potatoes.
Absolutely perfect.
I also love making quick sauces to serve with pasta and homemade bread. It's amazing how quickly something can be made - for example while the pasta is cooking, dice some gammon and fry with spring onions and some herbs, and then melt creme fraiche over the top. Really easy, really tasty.

Grim when you start, but when you're up there with the best of them you can pretty much write your own script... forget the cheffing - cheffery - um cooking... Just write your own script anyway - you'd be great!

If the English language made any sense, a catastrophe would be an apostrophe with fur.
You could always practice on us - we're not proud! But nearly seriously, you sound to me (on a week's aquaintance, so what do I know?) as if something to so with writing/science would suit you best but see above...
