I don't think I want to wander into an Ikea now...

*blinks* That doesn't even make /sense/ to the ad. The designer just threw his/her opinions in there with no logical context at all. :/


In brighter news, I'm gathering from your "Current Music" that the laptop does in fact work? :)

***nods*** It's such a lame attempt at being funny, it falls flat on its face considering just how many folks of any cultural or sub-cultural persuasion are bad influences....

It does. John has snes9x on it. He seems delighted. He even took it along to use in the car on the way to the ADF ritual Saturday.

*giggles* Fabulous.

Yay! I'm so glad you're able to get use out of it! :)

I'm curious to hear about how things went at ADF, too, when we next get a chance to chat some.

I dunno... this strikes me, more than anything, like a poor translation. I guess it's easy for me to say this since I've never been a goth.

I can see how it sounds like one. Though as a got myself, I find the sentiment offensive.

[coderlemming.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can totally see why you're upset. Even if I'm right, it's not like a poor translation is an acceptable excuse and should make you not feel bad.

Sort of puzzles me why people want to go there anyway.

My trips to Ikea have usually been pretty awful experiences, the store always seems to be full of loud horrid people with louder more horrid kids who are charging around the place completely out of control, climbing on all the furniture and jumping on the chairs/suites etc & lets face it, the stuff isnt really of a standard where it will stand up to too much of that sort of abuse.

I thought I left a comment on here?
