chain gamers of the world unite!

[Seusomon]

Person writes a true sentence about themself. Next person does the same, using one of the words from the previous sentence.

Example:

I love spinach lasagna.

I grow spinach in my back yard.

I want to be a doctor when I grow up.

...


I'll start with:

Even though it's October, I still keep my windows open at night.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

Some stupid kid shot one of our windows with his beebee gun, so the glass man came yesterday to repair it.

[Cuilanië]

My windows face a blind wall, and are directly over the courtyard.

[Seusomon]

One of my aunts was blind, as a result of a car accident.

[gwensmom]

My friend Kathleen is an accident-prone lawyer

[nymphette]

my uncle's bit*h wife left him for some kid on the internet, but his new 'wife' kathleen is a very nice lady!!

[bluecrayon]

Some kid inside my restless heart popped out last night with my infatuation guy and we had a war of words and now we are not speaking them anymore... :(

[hainlam]

I am not speaking to my brother, because his wife-to-be kicked me out of their wedding.. (because I make her uncomfortable)

[nymphette]

i am the only person in our family who has planned her own wedding, beginning to end, and done everything herself!!!

[hainlam]

The end of my last relationship, was really ugly, and included a court proceeding.

[medeous]

i was in court last week as a witness for my ex-husband, who's current wife was seeking a restraining order against him :blink:

[hainlam]

I am currently seeking funds from family members to cover the $205.17 overdrawn amount in my checking account.. (I am having a really bad day :( )

[medeous]

i was overdrawn last month due to having my purse stolen :angry:

[hainlam]

And to top it off my car payment is due next week.

[Cuilanië]

My paycheck is two weeks overdue, meaning that I am badly overdrawn right now. :(

[nymphette]

my cousin has a new boyfriend and she knows that he is the one-they have been together for three weeks!!! (she is the third in our family to KNOW that soon.. and me.. and my mom (with my stepdad)

[Seusomon]

I haven't seen any of my cousins in more than 10 years.

[mokistar]

I have more hobbies than I do fingers and toes combined.

[Cuilanië]

My first and second fingers on each hand are a bit twisted.

[Seusomon]

My first job was at a solar observatory.

[mokistar]

The first time I kissed a boy was in kindergarten

[Cuilanië]

My parents took me to the observatory every month when I was a kid.

[Seusomon]

My parents were divorced when I was 10.

The first time I kissed a girl I was 18.

[Cuilanië]

I like kisses.

[Sirius]

didn't give me a lot to work with there...

I've never outgrown eskimo kisses.

[Cuilanië]

sorry...

I've been in a police car once.

[bluecrayon]

Police cars in the rear view mirror make me nervous because I have a tendency to speed (on the road and in my life)...

[siafu]

this morning i unknowingly put my hand right on top of a big black and yellow stinging insect.

*hugs to all us broke people*

[cdonley]

I HATE the color yellow - except when it comes from the sun!

[Katiekat]

I tend to avoid a lot of exposure to the sun (because I burn easily), so I often get teased for being very pale.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

Northern Exposure is one of my favorite television shows.

[Cuilanië]

My favorite place to sit is in a stairwell.

[zer0gee]

The stairwell I use the most in my apartment building sometimes smells like pee. :blink:

Heather

[gwensmom]

I met my husband at work and we used to make out in the stairwell.

[kasey]

the lanlord of my apartment complex's boyfreind sits outside in front of my apartment drinking beer almost everydsay

[zer0gee]

Due to my recent promotion at work, I will be moving to a new apartment by the end of the month.

Heather


edited to give you a two-for-one, oh yeah!

[hainlam]

My apartment lease is almost up, and I am wondering if I should renew it.

[bluecrayon]

My time is almost up for awhile to play these chain games, but I do love them so... :D

[zer0gee]

I have spent way too much time on the computer this afternoon, and I have to go run errands now! Yikes!

Heather

[hainlam]

I have been planning a Tiger Cub meeting all afternoon (and playing chain games)

[bluecrayon]

Planning on how to survive under Arnold, my new Governor, has occupied the part of my mind that hasn't been addictively adding my opinion to all these games... :(

[Dalmaney]

Cranium is my favorite board game, and I get to play it tomorrow!

[bluecrayon]

My cranium seems filled to overflowing with trivial thoughts.

[medeous]

i thought i'd go to the workman's comp doctor today, to have my knee xrayed, but when i finally found it, it was in a scary neighborhood, so i just drove on....i guess i'll just limp painfully until someone shoots me. :(

(should be something for you to work with in that terrible run-on sentence)

[bluecrayon]

Whenever that boy shoots me his smile, I become painfully shy and limp away in my heart as if his vision was an x-ray exploring every one of my feelings. :D

[siafu]

medeous, don't worry-- i will go with you to the doctor, or i will make icepacks for your knee.

my knee hurts sometimes too.

[medeous]

The Curious Tarot has inspired me to make some rather creepy little collages...ever so much fun. :)

[bluecrayon]

My college roommate used to do tarot readings for spending money.

[medeous]

i've been spending too much money on items i could do without...like my new brown shoes! :wub:

[hammerquill]

My apartment has white carpets (or it did when I moved in) so I take off my shoes when I walk in the door.

[bluecrayon]

I just bought a pair of blue shoes and I always take my shoes off when I come home...I like bare feet feelings.

[medeous]

i've been looking for a pair of blue shoes, but i can't seem to find just the right ones...sometimes shoes are all i wear. ;)

[bluecrayon]

Hmm, only shoes?? That's a fairly provocative statement with boys around!!! :D

[hainlam]

the boys at tiger cubs last night were loud an obnoxious

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

I smirked when I heard that the white tiger attacked Roy, even though that's not very nice of me.

[siafu]

i don't even want to go to my stupid internship. i feel like crap.

:angry:

///on that note...she goes off to get ready\\\

[hainlam]

I need to pack my things for a trip I am taking directly after work.

[bluecrayon]

I have not been on a trip anywhere outside my state for at least 2 years.

[nymphette]

my son is playing outside and i know he is in the dirt... <sigh> the sidewalk is usually overed, from his dumptrucks!!!

[AlienSpy]

The US states that I've been to are Maine, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts.

Julie

[hainlam]

My grandmother is from Maine.

[alisoun]

My maternal grandmother passed on when I was a teenager, and I have two things of hers that I treasure: her watch and her sewing machine.

alisoun

[hainlam]

I have always wanted to hunt for buried treasure.

[bluecrayon]

I grew up in New York City -- I miss all the color and noise and the neverending human parade.

[hainlam]

Once in high school I was in the Labor Day parade.

[AlienSpy]

I went to 2 gay pride parades. One in Montreal and one in Ottawa.

Julie

[hainlam]

I have never been to Ontario

[luckythirteenxxx]

I visited Inniskillin Winery in Ontario and pilfered a Vidal grapeleaf.

[hainlam]

I went to a Halloween party once.. and a man was onlly wearing a grapeleaf.. (sad, but true)

[bluecrayon]

It's a good thing our friend who has only worn shoes wasn't there at the same time as that grapeleaf guy!!

[medeous]

at the time, i was probably shoe shopping :lol:

[hainlam]

Since I have no money, window shopping is my only option.

[Sirius]

The windows in my house were supposed to be double pane but are actually only single pane.

[bluecrayon]

Single girl on a Friday night, I am, wondering where to go???

[Sirius]

Friday night at home, that's the lives of us married folk. Oh, maybe dinner with the in-laws....

[bluecrayon]

Being married is a concept I cannot get my mind around on a Friday night when the streets are full of men!

(Hi, Rustell! You left two sentences. I managed to copy one of your crayon pics!)

[nymphette]

there are less men and boys in our family than women and girls- and that has always been the way for some reason, as long as *I* can remember!!!!!

[bluecrayon]

Girls are few in my own family since I am the only one!

[siafu]

i own a car i do not have because bill stole it away.

[bluecrayon]

When I was a kid, there was an old lady who lived on my street who would walk her dog wearing a mink stole.

[Sirius]

A dog, we would have, if only our cat would allow it.




(Hi, Rustell! You left two sentences. I managed to copy one of your crayon pics!)
Hi back atcha! I know, I was hoping no one would notice, but you're always watching out, aren't ya? Yippie! Hope it works well for your blue crayon future!

[gwensmom]

Momma don't allow no guitar playin' in here

[Sirius]

Momma wants grandchildren, but I'm not looking to fullfill that wish.


(Hi Gwen's Mom! Hi! Hi! Hi! How's your t-shirt holding up?)

[gwensmom]

I wish I would quit playing chain games and go to bed!

[Hey Rustell. One shirt already has a food stain on it and I haven't worn the other two yet. I love them and because I have new ones I can get rid of three old yucky ones! :) ]

[bluecrayon]

On a Friday night I never go to bed before 2am -- too much life to be squeezed into the weekend! :)

[Sirius]

The weekends go by way too fast for us, regardless of how little we sleep.

[venus28976]

i can't seem to get enough sleep no matter when I go to bed.

[medeous]

tonight i will sleep in my childhood bedroom since i am visiting my parents.

[bluecrayon]

Childhood lives so deeply inside me I wonder if I will ever grow up...

[medeous]

i wonder if everyone not colorblind sees colors the same way...and how would we know?

[bluecrayon]

Colors are like my fingerprints, blue here, red there, yellow everywhere...

[Sirius]

I've had my fingerprints "taken" probably 30 times, although I have never been arrested.

[bluecrayon]

I was arrested once for blocking a sidewalk in a protest --Yes, Rustell, I've always had a bangy knee! :D

[Sirius]

I protested once at my high school.

[Cuilanië]

Once, I was stopped for speeding but did not receive a ticket.

[gwensmom]

I was stopped for speeding two weeks ago and did receive a ticket which cost me $24.

[bluecrayon]

I like to receive lmaos in the mail, especially when the envelope is covered with stamps! :)

[gwensmom]

My side of the bedroom is covered with books, papers and clothes.

[VeronicasLovebug]

I don't really have a bedroom...it's a dining room with a bed in it...no doors...no privacy. <_<

[Sirius]

My bedroom is currently "under construction" so I am temporarily residing in what we blandly call "bedroom 2."

[bluecrayon]

Two rats live in my house and crawl up my legs while I work on the computer!

(they're my pets!) :D

[nymphette]

i have several male relatives in the "computer industry", but none of the women are!!!!

[Cuilanië]

I see my relatives only once or twice a year.

[littlest-bee]

I'm going to be seeing a lot more of my auntie & uncle because next weekend I am moving in with them whilst I look for my own house.

[bluecrayon]

I am going to see someone I really want to see in May and I am already packing my bag! :)

[nymphette]

my sister is 'hostessing' thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, so i am packing up things she needs, but doesn't have-like flour for gravy, ingredients for stuffing, serving platters and large pots!!!

(we should have had it at my house!!!)

[bluecrayon]

Thanksgiving is not tomorrow and it seems your family is jumping into the gravy boat a bit prematurely!???? :D

[medeous]

my sister's daughter was born prematurely -- at 20 weeks -- she is in first grade this year.

[bluecrayon]

The Blue Angels are flying over my house right this minute and I am excited right down to my socks!!

[gwensmom]

Blue is my favorite color and all my clothes are blue.

[medeous]

my favorite cookies are oatmeal raisin.

[bluecrayon]

Cookies are what I used to leave on a plate for Santa when I was a kid.

[kittymao]

I actually don't like cookies much. Not unless they're Keebler E.L. Fudge

[bluecrayon]

I like guys who ride on skateboards...

[medeous]

i like the original version of your post...with the dark eyed, goofy guys :)

[bluecrayon]

Aw, I thought no one saw my original yearning -- yes, I like goofy dark eyed boys! :D

[medeous]

i also like dark eyed boys, dark hair and keen wit..skateboarding i can take or leave...computer literate is a definite plus.

[hainlam]

I have thankfully outgrown my liking of guys who are into skateboarding.

[bluecrayon]

Guys and skateboards, what I really like is for them to be smart, that's what really rocks my socks... along with those dark eyes! :D

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

Smart people are sexiest, says Heather.

[hainlam]

My calendar says today is Thanksgiving in Canada.

[bluecrayon]

Off to the gravy boat, then, Canada -- in San Francisico it is Indigenous Peoples Day. :)

[siafu]

in fifth grade, i had a crush on this kid named francisco.

[gwensmom]

My fifth grade math teacher was worse than an evil french monkey.

[VeronicasLovebug]

My favorite teacher was my 11th grade life skills teacher. :D

[bluecrayon]

Life skills, I could use some of those as I skate into those dark eyed goofy boys! :D

[medeous]

it's getting awfully dark in my house...someone should replace a few of those burnt out light bulbs.

[AlienSpy]

I had to thoroughly clean my house before the week-end because we had a guest from Belgium staying for a few days!

Julie

[hammerquill]

I spent about three hours in Belgium, travelling through on the train and waiting at the docks, and the view out the window left no question in my mind it was the real setting of Tintin.

[medeous]

i wonder how old tintin is supposed to be...he looks pretty young, but acts fairly mature...must be the knickers. snowy rocks.

[bluecrayon]

When I was in high school in the mid west, we had to wear knicker like things for gym class with our names stenciled across the waist band...

[medeous]

the first band i ever saw live was called resonance...the drummer was dating the older sister of a guy i had a crush on at the time.

[kittymao]

sometimes, when my BF and I are bored, we go into the bathroom and make resonace- the note that can bounce off of the walls at the proper speed to Amplify it to deafening levels.

We're music geeks. :blink:

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

The walls of my bedroom are painted a deep lilac color that makes me crave grape soda.

[bluecrayon]

I've never liked soda, but I sure do like champagne, which I guess is soda for grownups!

[medeous]

one new year's eve, i accidentally spilled some champagne on my daughter's head...she thought it was some obscure family tradition and now insists that i pour it on her every year.

[gwensmom]

My a/r husband insists that the silverware be put in the dishwasher a certain way.

[nymphette]

my husband washes the silverware himself, by hand, because he's complained one too many times about how they turn out!!!! (sighs)

[bluecrayon]

Hubands are popping up all over these threads today -- I don't have one.

[siafu]

today i met my favorite weatherman...and he held the door for me! i had enough presence to say *gasp* you're my favorite! LOL he said, thank you very much. i'm glad i held the door for you.

[venus28976]

The weatherman called for rain and we got sun instead but I'm not complaining.

[bluecrayon]

Instead of sitting around the house complaining, I am going to my bass violin lesson where I am going to make some really screechy noise! :)

[venus28976]

There's a horrible screechy noise coming from the living room that I need to go investigate.

[BleedingGirl]

There's a bunny named Prey on the loose in my messy living room...oh dear.

[bluecrayon]

My messy heart beckons me again, off I go into the night.

[medeous]

my heart has been bumped and bruised, but never really broken...and hopefully never will.

[plastikvodka]

I've bruised my arm - it's such a (painful) shame.

[Lilac]

My dog bruised my arm by biting me!

[Sirius]

We still don't have a dog, just the ultra-moody cat.

[Nimenriel]

My cat bites my nose in the middle of the night - ouch!

[hainlam]

my nose has been runny all day, i hope i am not getting a cold

[Sirius]

it's been really cold at work lately...even though it is still quite warm here...i keep discovering that the air conditioner is turned down to 70 degrees.


(Run on sentences are allowed, right?)

[nymphette]

the cold has finally come for good here- i just heard on the weather update that there is a 'chance of flurries'....

(what the hell do they bother saying CHANCE OF????? it's SASKATCHEWAN!!!! if anyone even THINKS of snow, we're doomed for a blizzard!!!)

[venus28976]

The cold has arrived in Seattle in the form of that rain we are famous for....man I miss summer.

[BleedingGirl]

I told Matt that we should go out whenever it rains, and dance to techno music, naked, of course.

[hainlam]

I should be doing my work rather than roaming through chain games.

[medeous]

i get off work in 90 minutes, yay!

[hainlam]

I have been wondering all day if I remembered to turn my iron off..

[bluecrayon]

I remembered him and that has tingled me through my long day.

[medeous]

my orange juice kind of tingled when i drank it, so i dumped it out.

[bluecrayon]

I kind of wanted to keep my tingle, though. :)

[hammerquill]

The owner of one of the best craft shops in the world has the surname "Tingle".

[squirrel818]

a girl I work with has recently been making and selling crafts.

[medeous]

i don't want to go to work, i feel terrible. :(

[hainlam]

I am glad I don't have to work this weekend

[Seusomon]

My weekend begins tonight, with a couple hours in the hot tub!

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

This weekend I have to go to Philadelphia for the bridal shower for my brother's fiancee.

[hainlam]

My brothers fiance is a real bitch.

[bluecrayon]

I think real love can be found in the most unlikely corners of one's heart. :)

[Seusomon]

It's hard to sweep in the corners of a room.

[hainlam]

My storage space has absolutely no more room

[bluecrayon]

People used to call me "space cadet" when I was in highschool.

[hainlam]

some of the people i work with are very annoying

[Seusomon]

why work, when there are chain games to be played?

[bluecrayon]

...and art to be done! -- Tom, these games are making me loopy! :)

[hainlam]

I have gotten little work done, due to playing chain games all day..

[medeous]

i was supposed to do some work today, but instead i made my first ATCs...i'm experiencing some trepidation about sending them out into the cold cruel world. :unsure:

[OHPossum]

nothing is more cruel than a cold bed

[medeous]

a cold bed of nails might be a bit worse

[OHPossum]

Nails down my back is better

[hainlam]

I will feel much better in one hour and thirty minutes

[Seusomon]

I don't have any nails in my office.

[bluecrayon]

In the drawer below the toolbox, you will find the nails along with my putty knife...

[hainlam]

I find that I have been a chain game whore.. all afternoon.

[Seusomon]

I've invented several role-playing games.

[hainlam]

several people have pissed me off today

[bluecrayon]

"Piss off" is something I've always wanted to say to someone when I am, indeed, pissed off!

[Seusomon]

I'm heading for the hot tubs after work today, with a special someone. :)

[hainlam]

heading home in 20 minutes.. woo-hoo!!

[Seusomon]

I love my home - it's the best place I've ever lived!

[hainlam]

i have lived in Mexico

[Seusomon]

Ciudad Juarez is the only part of Mexico I have seen.

[AlienSpy]

I went to Mexico in January 1999 with my ex-boyfriend!

Julie

[Cuilanië]

My ex and I have almost the same birthday, we were born two days apart.

[bluecrayon]

Cuilanie, I like your glamorous new avatar much indeed! :)

[Cuilanië]

Why thank you bluecrayon! I have to say I'm quite happy with it, too. :)

[bluecrayon]

I think bluecrayon needs a glamorous avatar, too. :)

[Cuilanië]

Bluecrayon could mail me a picture ; I would then scan it, playing with the tonal settings like I did with mine, and she would have a glamorous new avatar! :D

[VeronicasLovebug]

My avatar isn't as glamorous as others...but he sure knows how to dance! :P

[bluecrayon]

I like to dance with guys who are reckless and smart and artistic, my weakness.

(yes, Cuilanie, I could send you a picture...hmmm)

[medeous]

smart men rock my happy little toe-socked world.

[hammerquill]

"World" comes from a Germanic word meaning "age of men," in the "humans" sense.

[bluecrayon]

Germanic boys in shorts, well, I still wouldn't mind seeing some! :D

[gwensmom]

I like to watch World Cup Soccer to see all those guys with great legs running around in shorts.

[bluecrayon]

Heh-heh, World Cup Soccer, I see you and I think alike, Gwensmom! :D

[siafu]

i can't wait to see marrakesh.

[gwensmom]

Heh-heh, World Cup Soccer, I see you and I think alike, Gwensmom! Isn't the next one three years away? :(

I can't wait to see next Saturday because I have next week off!

[bluecrayon]

Saturday is my favorite night/day dance of the week -- shorts or no shorts, guys or no guys, rain or sunshine crazy -- I live for Saturday!! :)

[medeous]

friday night is like a bud, full of promise...saturday is the rose in all her glory...and sunday, poor sad, soon-to-be-over sunday sheds her petals like tears for all that might have been.

can you tell i don't like to go back to work on mondays? :P )

[Sirius]

Roses used to grow over an arch in my backyard until the novelty of watering them faded away.

[bluecrayon]

Novelty and real attraction, those are the tough concepts to separate sometimes...

[gwensmom]

Sometimes I stay up too late playing chain games.

[Cuilanië]

I stay up way too late on a regular basis. :lol:

[Seusomon]

I think I'm going to stay in my present house for a number of years to come.

[bluecrayon]

Come May, I am going on an adventure.

[Seusomon]

I like mental adventures more than the real-life kind.

[bluecrayon]

But real-life adventures always start from the mind, don't they???

[Sirius]

I don't mind an adventure now and then, but I like to stay in my comfort zone as well.

[hainlam]

Stay in bed.. that is what I should have done today.

[bluecrayon]

I should have gone to bed sooner last night because I am definitely feeling like I'm still asleep, and I might be!

[hainlam]

Last night came to late and this morning came to early..

[Seusomon]

I like to read at night, when the house is quiet.

[medeous]

it's very quiet now...quite a relief after the past two hours. who scheduled kindergarten art in the afternoon??!

[Seusomon]

It's hard to find time for art when I'm hardly ever home alone!

[medeous]

i actually do most of my art at school, while the students are working, too.

[Seusomon]

I have fond memories of my student days, but would not want to repeat them

[hainlam]

my great grandmother will repeat the same joke everytime I see her.. and we all laugh like it is the first time we have heard it.

[Seusomon]

I love humor, but have a terrible time remembering jokes.

[Sirius]

I rarely tell my favorite joke because I am not really a swear-er and it requires the F word.

[medeous]

no one, NO ONE , ever ever ever says the F-word in front of my mother...never ever.

[bluecrayon]

It disappoints me about myself, but that colorful F-word is a major word in my college educated vocabulary.

[medeous]

i've found many people i work with have an inadequate vocabulary and they have no idea what i'm talking about when i inform them that they irk or peeve me. (i is edjumacated)

[hammerquill]

Deficient vocabularies irk me, too, and improper usage is one of my pet peeves. (medeous: do they all think "peeves" is a reference to Harry Potter?)

[bluecrayon]

So, hammerquill, would you find it difficult to have a conversation with me knowing I had that deficient F-word in my vocabulary???

[hammerquill]

Lacking the F-word would be an astounding deficiency in this day and age, but most sentences can get along without it; but how can a word in itself be deficient, except perhaps being deficient in syllables, having but one, or in letters, having only those infamous four? (Nor is it hard to find one-syllable, four-letter words among the true stars of the language.)

[bluecrayon]

Well, you're right as always, hammerquill -- the F-word is actually quite compact and full of vim and vigor which is needed sometimes to push the tired language over the hump of someone else's indifference...

[Cuilanië]

Expletives, such as the F-word, are wonderfully effective and versatile ways to express strong emotions. :)

[Seusomon]

As a Scorpio, I'm often alive with strong emotions, although most of them swirl under the surface.

[bluecrayon]

Well, as a Sagittarius, I am all afire with emotions and optimisim and crazy stabs at injustice -- sometimes I just can't keep my knee still! :D

[hainlam]

Also a Sagittarius, I know the feeling.. and sometimes open my spirited little mouth, when it should really remain shut.

[bluecrayon]

Music is too loud in my spirit for me to keep anything shut, let alone my mouth!!! :D

[Seusomon]

I have a large music collection, which I seem to listen to less and less these days.

[gwensmom]

My music collection was stolen by a burglar about 10 years ago, but I did not replace it because I was apalled when I filled out the insurance report and found out how much I had spent on it.

[bluecrayon]

My heart has recently been stolen, but I have no insurance for any damage that might come from this act and I doubt I will report it stolen anyway!!! :D

[gwensmom]

But they should have insurance for broken hearts!

[Seusomon]

The windshield on my car has been broken since about two months after I bought it.

[bluecrayon]

The windshield across my better judgement has been missing since mid September and I have fallen into a sublime loopiness that imperils my serious nature!

[Seusomon]

September passed in a love-drenched reverie.

[bluecrayon]

Love-drenched tongue tangling and day dreaming; that seems to be the neighborhood I am living in these days.

[Seusomon]

My neighborhood is quiet, atmospheric, and pleasant to walk through.
