Three random facts:

[hainlam]

Ugh, I was reading things people say that annoy you.. and I have a few to add, so here are my three:

1. The girl who sits across from me does not know that idea and ideal are 2 completely different words.. and says, "I really have no ideal".. all the time.. I have pointed it out to her on several occassions, but she doesn't seem to get it!

2. I have a friend and her cell phone voice message says.. "hello.. (pause).. hello... (another pause).. sorry, I can't get to the phone, leave a message".. she thinks it is very clever.

3. My boss calls me Amelia.. sometime she calls me Amelia Bedelia.. My name is Aimee, not Amelia.. she apparently thinks it is cute, and she is the boss, so I can't say much..
I also don't like it when people call me "Aims" or "Aimers".. or any variation of Aimee (which you wouldn't actually think there were variations of Aimee, but oh well)

[sarahkate]

1. I am having yet again a not-so-healthy eating day....so far I have had 2 graham crackers.....a small bag of peanut M&M's ....and some coke...and some water.

2. I was very sad that the vending machine was sold out of Cherry coke. :(

3. There are pipes in my cubicle that keep banging soooo loud. It's driving me crazy. Sounds like they are going to explode. This happens ever year when the heat is on in our office.

[sarahkate]

oh look...me...posting AGAIN! Anyway...

1. I am the most unhealthy person on N'ness. For "breakfast" today I just had 6 UH-OH Oreos (you know - the inside out kind) and some coke. This has to stop! Must - eat - oatmeal!

2. I am totally in love with Rustell's Where do you live? (http://nervousness.org/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=15&t=6203&st=) thread. This is my 2nd favorite thread on the boards.

3. My most favorite thread is the Picture Thread (http://nervousness.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1280) :) I love to see what you all really look like.

[Dalmaney]

1. I just checked my Stats web page, looking for next weeks assignment, and instead found out class is cancelled. I have the biggest grin on my face. :D

2. I'm going to be late for my first class, because I want to finish my coffee properly, and I don't care.

3. I love Rupert on Survivor. He reminds me so much of Hagrid it's not funny.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I have never seen Survivor.

-2- I ordered a cheesesteak for lunch, because I made myself crave one after posting it as one of my Top 5 Meals.

-3- I will have a Cherry Coke for you, Sarahkate. (Unless my vending machine is also out, in which case, regular Coke for me.)

[Sirius]

1. I had a snickers for breakfast, so I am right there with you sarahkate, and I have to bring my own Pepsi One with me, because I haven't met a machine that has Pepsi One.

2. I am going to see Tim Conway and Harvey Korman tonight, and am very excited about it. We got our tickets in April, 3rd row. They crack us up. Am also thinking we may be the youngest people there.

3. Brian watches Survivor, and I usually spend that hour working on my scrapbook, last night I floated around on Nervousness while waiting for pictures to print. He did get me to watch CSI though, and I have to admit that I rather enjoyed it.




Hm....I think that's more than 3 facts.

[hainlam]

1. I love CSI.. so much in fact, that I am taking classes in forensic science next year. My current degree is in Biology, so I am brushing up on a few things before I take the state exams.

2. I am actively seeking a new job.. I applied for a higher position at the place I currently work, and if I don't get it, I have decided this is not the place for me.. (although, I already know this isn't the place for me)

3. Our vending machine has all the flavors of Pepsi.. regular, diet, caffeine free, One, vanilla, and cherry.. but I don't like Pepsi products.. so it is a complete waste for me..

[Seusomon]

1. I lost my debit card in Wyoming.

2. It seems to be the middle of October already.

3. Regarding #1, this is the conversation that transpired when I called the number to report a lost card:
"To report a lost card, press 2."
(Tom presses 2)
"Hello. Please give me your 16 digit account number"
Tom: "I don't have it - I lost my card"
"OK, let me have your social security number instead."
(Tom gives social security number)
"I'm bringing up your account now . . . So how may I help you?"
Tom: "I lost my card on Wednesday."
"OK. For security reasons, I need to ask you to give me your social security number."
(Tom gives SSN again)
"When did you lose your card?"
...

[hainlam]

funny you should mention that.. I have conversations like that all the time

conversations of the day.. strange but true..

1. I had a customer service call today that ended up having to be turned over to the police.. the man wanted to know if this lad banked here.. and he didn't want me to be mad.. but he went to her house and found a dead body on the couch.. (yes.. that freaked me out a little)

2. When I got back from lunch.. I had a voice mail that simply stated (in an old lady voice).. "damn you, sons of bitches"

3. My coworker was just telling me about how her grandma came over yesterday and was in her bedroom helping hang wall paper.. and she is hoping she didn't see the "nympho- cream" on the dresser..

[nymphette]

lol at the telephone convos!!! heh

1: my sister listened in on a call at work on wednesday (she's training- she works for the government in some financial aid type program):
caller: i have porphyromonas, what are you people going to do about it???
employee: well, the dental coverge only covers children, so you will have to see a dentist yourself...
C: i can't afford a dentist!!! when i die, my wife is going to sue the govt of saskatchewan for murder!!! what, people turn 18 in the shitty province and then you let them die???
E: most people are covered under their work, or you could pay for blue cross or GMS coverage... (knowing said caller likely was not working but collecting some kind of other govt assistance)
C: that's it, i'm suing you people now!!! i'm not letting you kill me!! my wife will sue you when i die, she'll get $30 million from the saskatchewan govt!!! you people wont' get away with this!!!

after which he started in with racial slurs about who WOULD get his life saving dental services... and they hung up on him.... <sigh> i could never field a call like that!!! i would just tell him GET A JOB AND PAY FOR COVERAGE OR A DENTIST!!! knowing that it is still very expensive anyhow, and we can't afford it, even though chris works, at least.. but hey, my kids are covered!!! ;)

2: my pickles are ready and they turned out wonderfully!!! yay for fall!!!

3: my baby is crying and he's only been asleep for half an hour... he thinks he doens't need a two hour nap every four hours while he's on his feeding pump... i disagree!!! ;)

robyn

[Sirius]

1. I bought a wig for Halloween today.

2. It's the first time I've ever put a wig on -- and being that my natural hair is pretty long it was a pain to get it pinned out of the way.

3. Thinking I might try to dye my hair the color of the wig..if only i could find the right dye.

[Meika]

1. I am so lacking in motivation it's shameful. :(

2. It looks like it might rain.

3. I wish I could afford a trip to somewhere tropical right now.

[hammerquill]

1. I just got the first ATC back from the first LMAO I started
2. I can't stand perfume normally, on people, in deodorants,in soap, in candles, on paper products, etc., but if anyone ever bottles the scent of the florets of the shrub Osmanthus fragrans I wouldn't mind if everyone wore it...
3. Though I don't intend ever to get pierced (or help pierce anyone else, for that matter), I have been looking through online catalogues of body jewelry suppliers, and figuring out when I can go to a local piercing shop, checking wholesale prices of curved and circular surgical steel barbell thingies for a new metal wall hanging idea. Checking into prices for quantities over 200(!).

[Cuilanië]

- I want to get a haircut this week.

- I plan on being all caught up by Monday, so that I can concentrate on a few longer projects.

- My new avatar is a picture taken 5 years ago when I first dyed my hair blue.

Edited to add a bonus : I was born on a Wednesday, and my birthday is also a Wednesday this year. I'm off to find out which years this has happened before. This is very typical of me... :D

[Sirius]

- i love the blue hair, it looks fantastic. There was this guy who had navy blue hair once, it looked black from a distance and navy up close. We were both in relationships at the time, but he had a thing for my eyes, which I discovered when he walked up to me, grabbed my chin moved my head back and forth and said, "Whoa, you have got the coolest eyes, are those contacts?", so we'd just walk by eachother and say "Nice eyes" "Nice hair" all the time. Weird fact.

-My in-laws are on their way here to go through my costume collection to decide what to be for Halloween, my father also has an "appointment" to do the same this afternoon.

-I have my Thanksgiving cards ready to go and am just waiting for November to send them.

[gwensmom]

Wheeeeeeeee! My mom just gave me a whole sheet of random facts!! Here are 3

1. (For Heather) A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.

2. On a Candian $2 bill, the flag flying over the parliament building is an American flag. (All you Canadians check your bills and let us know if this is true)

3. Butterflies taste with their feet.

[AlienSpy]

No more 2$ bills for us! A few years ago they were replaced by coins. Ugh. <_<
Maybe someone who kept a bill as a souvenir could tell us about the flag?

1. Tonight I'm going to a buffet with my boyfriend and my sister. We're going to eat crab legs, yummy!

2. I'm still in my pyjamas and it's almost 4pm. I need to take a shower!

3. Last night some kids threw eggs at our kitchen window. Don't they have better stuff to do, like play with their Nintendo?! :blink:

Julie

[hammerquill]

1. I just got one of the new US $20 bills. And we thought the previous incarnation looked like play money - Jeez! The part that really bothers me is that, perhaps in keeping with the "What's good for GM is good for America" mentality, the bill is next year's model, not this year's: it says on it "Series 2004"...

2. I'm in serious need of a haircut.

3. I'm about to go meet some other local NaNoWriters to start getting psyched for the great marathon next month.

[Bugitha]

1. Today, in the bank parking lot, my car wouldn't start. Of course I tried starting it several times before calling a tow truck. I waited about 20 minutes for the truck and when the driver tried it, the car started up just fine. They still charged me $35 for a service call though.

2. I will be paranoid every time I try to start it until I can get it to the shop

3. Part of me longs for the days when I relied soley on public transportation to get around.

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. Today someone broke into my poor car(shattering the drivers side window and breaking the door handle)

2. They tore up my dash board and stole my cd player...and almost completely ripped the cover off my glove box :(

3. On a happier note...I did find $20 on the ground as i was walking back inside....i'm on my way to payin for the window! <_<

[Meika]

1. I'm working on ATC's today.

2. I reached into the drawer for a pen just a minte ago and didn't notice that I left the drawer open a little bit.

3. I somehow managed to get my breast on the drawer and as I leaned forward, the drawer closed and pinched the ever loving crap out of my nipple.

Two bonus facts

4. I don't think I have ever yelled profanities so loud in my life and now my nipple is turning purple.

5. I know I am accident prone but that was unreal. I am not happy. :( *sniff sniff* :(

[Cuilanië]

OOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!! {{{{{Meika}}}}}
Ugnhgaaaack! I feel for you.

In sympathy with Meika :
- I am also a member of the "must wear a bra" community.
- I was once hit squarely on the breast with a fencing foil. Even with the padding, IT HURTS.
- I am also accident-prone - I tend to drop, knock over, bump into, or otherwise adversely affect lots of things.

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. My mom took me out to dinner tonight which was a nice surprise

2. I've almost gotten 20 feedback points on the member page...1 more and i'm there! lol

3. today i got an acceptance letter for one of the community colleges here...my mom was pretty excited about it...i didn't think it was such a big deal lol :blink:

[Sirius]

1. I saw Kill Bill tonight.

2. I had a mozzerella stick appetizer with dinner. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cheese.

3. My eyes are burning a bunch -- because I am tired or because I spent the evening with a smoker, I don't know....

[medeous]

1. i think i'm allergic to whatever sulphur based preservative is used in dried apricots and apples...whenever i eat them, i cough and feel a bit gaspy.

2. knowing that, i eat them anyway.

3. i can't find my driver's license.

[hammerquill]

1. I think I'm slightly allergic to apples themselves: when I eat a whole raw apple, and nothing else (that is, don't eat it as part of a meal), I usually feel slightly sick to my stomach later on.

2. There's a large spider living inside one of the faucet handles in my shower. It's a really stupid place for a spider to live - poor thing gets drenched, gets its pitiful attempts at a web destroyed every morning - but it can hide right inside so I can't get at it to take it outside where it would be happier.

3. As long as the one fish I caught and threw back survived, I've never personally killed anything in my own superphylum (Chordata). Closest relatives I've killed would be molluscs and arthropods and nematodes (oh my!).

[gwensmom]

Raw apples by themselves make me sick too.

I eat apple slices with peanut butter or cheese so I won't get sick.

I don't think its an allergy, but a fiber overload or something.

**looks around suspiciously for any dangerous molluscs and arthropods and nematodes that might be lurking nearby**

[medeous]

1. i don't know what a nematode is.
2. i like the way nematode sounds.
3. i like the letter N, and long vowel sounds, as well as the numbers 1,5, and 8 and a lovely dark blue that is inky but not quite navy. they all go together quite nicely.

[Sirius]

1. I tried the fast-food counter at Bashas today and it was pretty good.

2. I finally got all of the pictures from my trip printed.

3. I went for a walk after dinner. Two miles this time.

[Cuilanië]

- I'm mildly allergic to apples and hazelnuts. Well, more to hazelnuts (and not to any other kind of nut... <_< But I'm cautious anyway), but eating apples raw makes the inside of my mouth and throat tingle and swell a bit. The only varieties that escape this are Macintosh and Granny Smith.

- I got up late this morning but managed to get to work less than 5 minutes late.

- I tried my hand at making a little bookie this weekend. I'm rather proud of myself. :)

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I got the evil "cold" that has been going around. It feels more like the flu, except, thankfully, without vomiting.

-2- I came to work anyway, because I knew my boss took today off, and I couldn't resist.

-3- I saw a classical music concert at Johns Hopkins last night.

[Cuilanië]

:) - I had sushi for lunch. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... :)
:) :) - After lunch I went to the craft store right next to my office building and got some transparent orange beads for the sushi lunch LMAO. :) :)
:) :) :) - I found some specially treated wooden sheets that are supposed to be printer-safe. I'm going to try them out tonight. :) :) :) Great ATC idea in the offing!!
:) :) :) :) - Bonus to celebrate this - I think I know what I want to do to Hammerquill's metal ATC blanks. I have to test the idea first, but it's a good one. :) :) :) :)
- Another bonus, because I feel like it - I can't seem to find acrylic gel medium. I want some to do transfers!!!

[Seusomon]

Next weekend, we get to

:rolleyes: try out three new card games
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: have a pumpkin carving party
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: make pumpkin pie from scratch

[Sirius]

1. I am hungry and it is only 9:49am...how early can I eat lunch? :( :angry: :) :P :unsure: :blink: :blink: :blink:

2. Have two Halloween parties the 24th and 25th, but nothing for Haloween. :rolleyes: :blink: :huh: <_< <_< :lol: :D

3. Need to find a volunteer to be Santa for the Christmas party, and the first person I asked refused because "You can't do those things these days, someone will sue me for picking up their kid wrong." <_< :blink: :blink: :blink:

[Cuilanië]

- I have a nicely crazy boss. I like her. :blink: :wacko: :rolleyes: :)

- Have I mentioned that my three favorite art & craft stores are within walking distance of my new job? One is a block away, the second one is a 5-10 minute walk away, and my favorite is about a quarter of an hour away. :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

- I had my theatre class tonight. B) ;) B) :lol:

:blink: :rolleyes: :ph34r: :blink: :wub: :rolleyes: :wacko: :blink:

[kittymao]

have also fallen victim to that dastardly cold. My ears keep doing that popping thign everythime I even swallow, so taht sucks.

At least tehre's some pizza in the frige. FOOD! yaay!

Somehow, I discovere di was too sick to go to work or school, but not sick enough to cause people to freak over my staying over at their homes the ENTIRE weekend.
I love my BF's family. *sigh*

[janeboston]

1.
i used to be amish.

2.
i don't like to capitalize.

3.
it's been while since i've gotten mail.

[hainlam]

you used to be amish, that is so incredibly interesting.

1. I have already spoken to my grandmother, my mother, and my father.. and it is not even 10am.. and I am at work..

2. I have to speed clean my house when I get off work.. because my air conditioning won't turn off.. and I don't want the apartment workers to know how messy I am

3. My house is a chilly 60 degrees.. I had the wonderful opportunity to snuggle underneath my warm down comforter a little earlier this year..

[Seusomon]

1. I REALLY need to clean my office

2. I just ate a breakfast burrito with lots of red chile

3. I feel happy today

[sarahkate]

1. Everytime I tell someone I disagree with them I feel guilty. Even when I know I shouldn't. I think it's a curse.

2. It's very sunny right now...but it's raining. Weird.

3. When I am at work I always feel crafty...and want to work on some N'ness projects...but by the time I get home at the end of the day I don't feel so crafty anymore :( I think it has something to do with the sun..it makes me feel more awake & creative.

[gwensmom]

Three more random facts from a list my mom gave me:

~Al Capone's business card said that he was a used furniture dealer
~Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance
~Leonardo DaVinci invented scissors

[nymphette]

1: i was looking under my info and found that this is my 1000th post!!! yay!!

2: i am going to be 30 in less than a month and it doesn't bother me at all!!! sadly, 25 was a bad year.. quarter of a century, you know... ;)

3: i told all my family i want gift certificates to michael's for my birthday- i want to buy a stamp carving tool set!!! (if anyone has tips of their own for carving, please tell me all about them... just not in the search-the-internet-or-the-forums-for-the- information-mood... ;)

[Bugitha]

- I'm mildly allergic to apples and hazelnuts. Well, more to hazelnuts (and not to any other kind of nut... But I'm cautious anyway), but eating apples raw makes the inside of my mouth and throat tingle and swell a bit.

I get the same reaction from eating kiwi fruit or macadamia nuts (also pistachios, though less severe). My mouth and throat tingle and swell up a little, but my lips and the area around them also itch. Really unpleasant.

Too bad, because I love kiwi, pistachios, and macadamias. :(

1.The crafty items I am most lusting after these days: an alphabet stamp set with smallish letters, new gel pens, scrapbook with black pages, xyron510 machine. But alas, new crafty items are low on the priority list what with cars to be fixed and dentists to be called, and Christmas to be paid for.

2. I'm cooking for my stray friends who can not be with their families for Thanksgiving this year. I'm actually pretty excited about it. But that's because I haven't hosted Thanksgiving dinner in about 10 years. I was hoping to get away with just a turkey breast but a friend of mine has her heart set on dark meat, so I guess it will be the whole dang bird!

3. My facts are a little long winded today.

3.

[Sirius]

1. I'm a little distracted today.

2. Brian just came in and looked at me and shook his head and said, "You could atleast have said Thank You."

3. I start following him around the house "what?" Then I notice on the kitchen table, in a vase are two dozen beautiful roses...that I have been walking past for the past four hours and hadn't noticed. Whew, am I out of it or what?

[Ashley]

Oh it's been a long time since I've been able to visit this thread. I've missed you thread.
1. I'm afraid my co-op is going to get rather dramatic in the next couple of days. I dated a housemate for a week or two but then decided it was a bad idea to date someone in the house, then he spent a night with another housemate's girlfriend, and I flirted with another housemate this weekend while very drunk. Oh, I can see this all ending badly or we could all just be adults and decide dating each other is a really bad idea. Sorry, rather long #1 without too much point other than to ramble.
2. I found $5 on the ground last weekend, I haven't found money on the ground forever.
3. One of my favorite bands is coming this week to Eugene and I'm going to go see them!!! I'm a little nervous because I'm forcing myself to go to it alone to build character. I've never gone to a concert alone. Hmm... I hope it turns out well and I meet some neat people.

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. It's 7:40 AM...this is the earliest that i have been up in a REALLY long time.

2. The only reason i am awake is because i woke up w/ really bad heartburn...had some of that acid reflux stuff goin on...it's no good...my throat is still burning from it and i'm tryin to get rid of it(without any luck) <_<

3. I stayed the night at my older sisters place last night...normally i wouldn't, but she's complaining that it seems like no one likes her since we never visit(ahh the things you must do to keep the family happy <_<)

[sarahkate]

1. The forums are a bit slow today. Makes me sad ... see ---> :(

2. I own a crockpot that I have never used.

3. Crockpots are also known as slow cookers. Yeah..you probably already knew that, but I couldn't think of anything else to write. :P

[Sirius]

1. I've been around but haven't really been inspirid to post much today. Don't want to make people sick or anything (sorry I tried, but I couldn't resist).

2. I am decorating a ball room for Halloween, and then coming to the computer to rest for a bit.

3. I have taken it upon myself to decorate when no one else is around, which means that I don't have to compromise on how, where and why decorations should go, but which also means I am setting up tables and chairs for 100 people by myself.

[Cuilanië]

*admirative of Rustell's courage*

- I just had a long phone conversation with my grandmother.

- I've just come home from my chiropractor's appointment. A 20-minute massage and my vertebre place... heaven.

- I'm having chinese food take-out for dinner, because I couldn't be bothered to cook.

[bluecrayon]

1. I had a weepy night of self pity last night

2. I miss him like crazy.

3. I feel better this morning!


(how's that for courage, Cuilanie!! :) )

[Sirius]

1. I think I've missed the post where BlueCrayon explains her current misery, and am perplexed by the random hints at sadness I keep running across in her posts.

2. I still think that Blue Crayon should have a Blue Crayon avatar.

3. I wonder if "I think" counts as random facts, and I think it might not.

[Cuilanië]

I think it takes lots of courage, bluecrayon. You're holding up wonderfully!


- As long as it's a fact that you do think, Rustell, your post qualifies. ;)

- I've finished eating. Eating in front of a computer while posting feverishly, in a very cold room, is not conducive to a peaceful and hot meal.

- My boss allowed me to come in late this morning, and I took shameless advantage of that.

- Last month, getting up at nine meant I'd be an hour late to work, at least. Now it only means fifteen minutes, if that. I love my new job!

[Seusomon]

1. I read the last few posts in reverse order, and thought that Cuilanie was congratulation bluecrayon on her courage for holding out against getting a blue crayon avatar.

2. I know a dog named Muji.

3. I was astounded at the things sarahkate has never done.

[Philosophical postscript: It can be argued that statements about what you think or feel are the only facts, because you know them to be true directly - everything else requires some inference]

[AlienSpy]

1. I'm learning to drive (and I'm almost 24!)...

2. I think that I'm going to take a break from university.

3. I'm looking for a full-time job (that will allow me to spend time on Nervousness!! haha yeah that's bad I know :P).

Julie

[Sirius]

1. Although I struggle with the "Not Applying Myself" problem, I too love my new (Since May) job, and starting at 9am instead of 6:30am is supercool.

2. Seusmon and Alienspy both gave me a laugh with their three facts.

3. I think I ate a bad tootsie roll. stomach is rolling.

[bluecrayon]

1. It is test time at the school I teach at so I have had lots of time to wander over here and play...

2. I will miss all this action during the day next week when I am back to teaching...


3. He just lives somewhere else -- nothing more heavy than that.

[Sirius]

1. I'm feeling guilty posting in chain games giving Seusomon opportunities to respond and rack up posts so that he can outpost our French friend. Contemplating the fact that Seusomon and I never seem to interact directly, but around.

2. Noticing that Gwensmom is lurking but not posting. Hm...

3. Someone just called me honey.

[bluecrayon]

1. Honey is good on toast.

2. Honey is not a name I like being called (except by my mom)

3. Wild honey conjures strong images in my imagination.

(okay, how many more of these do I have to post to be in the running with Tom, Rustell and Cuilanie???)

[Sirius]

1. It's not just us:
Name Posts
Penster 1,689
mysundown15 1,466
mpurr 1,358
Seusomon 1,325
Cuilanië 1,325

kittymao 944
bluecrayon 915
Alpaca 871
FearfulPenguin 828
hammerquill 779
Ashley 768
TrinityHackMatrix 712

2. So, about 150 posts BlueCrayon

3. but, by then Seusomon and Cui will be in the 3,000 range

[Seusomon]

1. It seems possible that we are approaching the next phase in chain game evolution, where they all merge into one, all the rules being available all the time.

2. I do interact with Rust directly! Really I do!

3. Not to worry, I will pass Cui this afternoon, but by tomorrow morning she'll be on top again. (Wait, that's not how I meant it to sound...)

[gwensmom]

1. Just saw that Seusomon and Cuilanie are tied at 1325 posts

2. Gwens teacher sent home this assignment "Glue magazine pictures depicting fall on a piece of paper" Woooo we had fun doing art together!

3. To find out why I'm too pooped to post much, see my recent entry in What would you do if!

[bluecrayon]

1. I will never reach the heights with Tom and Cuilanie, I fear.

2. I am wearing my new blue sneakers today.

3. I am leaving to go home in about 20 minutes.

[medeous]

3. i own muffin tins and an electric skillet that are for melting crayons.

4. bonus fact: ironing your clothes with the crayony iron is a bad idea.

1. Nymphette often posts chain game responses I don't understand.

3. OK, one more pass through the Q&Q board.

[Sirius]

3. Not to worry, I will pass Cui this afternoon, but by tomorrow morning she'll be on top again. (Wait, that's not how I meant it to sound...)

1. I think that is exactly how Seusomon meant it to sound.

2. I own a coffeepot that was bought to brew coffee to use to dye dancing shoes with. That is the only time it has been used.

3. I often cut and paste Cuilanië's name from other posts because I can't remember the code to get my computer to make the e with the double dots.

Last night, my dinner consisted of cake and beer.

Tonight, my dinner was way too much spinach gnocchi. (ooh, full tummy! *groan*)

3|
I think I have a crush on a guy named Ed. (Cuz I'm pretty sure when you think about a guy all day long, you can't wait to hang out with him again, and you'd really like to kiss him, that means you have a crush.) :wub: *tee hee!*

[Sirius]

1. I know too many people named Mike.

2. I know four people named Dean.

3. I only know one person named Alice.

I will never reach the heights with Tom and Cuilanie, I fear.

No, they're bringing each other to new heights daily... :rolleyes:

1. My dinner tonight was onion and olive focaccia and pretty good, very cheap Italian wine.

2. I have to get a recommendation for a good chiropractor, since all else has failed.

3. I have a mirror-finish doodad like a Rubik's cube, only it's two blocks by two, and it makes a cylinder, not a cube. Right now I have it configured to look like a stylized sort of cyberpunk-cartoon panther's face. It can also make an even more stylized bulldog bust.

1. The googlebots secretly excite me!

1. FunkyChunky is me :D That's my blog! (not sure if you knew that or not Rustell)

2. I wonder why my site appeared as a result of Rustell googling her name. I don't usually mention Nervousness at all in my blog. And I am almost positive I have never mentioned Rustell's name in there (now I think I should though! ;))

3. I am thinking of making a separate blog where I can track all of my Nervousness work. I have scanned most of the objects I have created.... so I suppose I should have a place to post them.

[nymphette]

i didn't get to sleep until 3:30 a.m. and have been awake since 5:00... at least i don't have to drive to saskatoon today, becuase my mom is coming to meet dr. greenberg, finally!!!!

i want to curl up in my warm bed and sleep... but if i go into my bedroom, harrison will wake all the way up, instead of being sleepy-fussy....

i have a leg-ache, like growing pains leg ache type.... bad too... i haven't had this feeling since i was ten!!!

robyn

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- Today I have a job interview for a higher-up position in the department where I work already.

-2- Drinking coffee is probably not going to help me to be less nervous, yet I keep drinking it.

-3- I am very sad about Elliott Smith committing suicide.

[nymphette]

~ i hope shark-girl gets her job and doesn't stress too much at her interview!!! i hate job interviews, almost nothing else makes me feel as insecure!!!! almost....

~ i think i need a coffee.... have to deal with the insurance guy today, gotta be awake for that i guess....

~ i would also like a cornbread muffin with my coffee... but i used them all up from the freezer for stuffing on thanksgiving!!

[Cuilanië]

- It's past 3 pm and I still haven't had lunch.
- I wish our Sharky girl the best of luck with her interview!
- I've no idea who Elliot Smith is. Am I hopelessly ignorant?

[sarahkate]

1. Good luck Heather!!!

2. I am *secretly* hoping that if Heather gets this new job it won't keep her away from Nervousness!!! I would be sad if I logged on to N'ness everymorning and didn't see girl-who-loves-sharks in the active members list :(

3. I think I am going to make some maple & brown sugar oatmeal!

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- Canadian Thanksgiving keeps confusing me because U.S. Thanksgiving is still a month away. (When Robyn mentioned Thanksgiving my first thought was, "She hasn't made new corn muffins since last November?")

-2- I am well aware of my United States-centric point-of-view and I am ashamed of it.

-3- Although I was often fewer than five miles from the Canadian border during the six years I lived in Montana, I have never been to Canada.

-4- Bonus, for sarahkate: in fact, I think I would be MORE able to spend time on Nervousness if I got the new job. Can you imagine?

[Cuilanië]

- Nymphette is currently helping me crank up my posting totals. Yay! ^_^

- I'm currently fighting off a bug that's gone through several of my new colleagues already.

- I've a feeling I won't be able to post much tonight, so my lead won't last.

[nymphette]

1: i just looked at the posting rating page... i am in the top ten daily and overall.. when did THAT happen??? obviously, the top ten daily happened today, but...

2: i have to check the stats on people here more often!!

3: i have to go and have a bath... was going to have a shower, but i am feeling lazy for a hot soak!!! yay bubbles!!!

robyn

[Seusomon]

1. My landlady is out of town and the person who is supposed to care for her cat isn't doing a very good job - cat came around last night very hungry, and all I had to give him was an egg and some water.

2. I'm buying some cat food today.

3. Here's another clue for you all: The Walrus was Paul.

[sarahkate]

1. I am leaving work 2 hours early today (hopefully!). I should be going home at 3:00 PM instead of 5:00 PM because I have almost 2 hours overtime this week & they don't like paying o.t. ....and I would rather leave early today anyway.

2. I think when I get home I am going to clean my house....it desperately needs a good cleaning.

3. Or maybe I will take my doggy for a walk.

[Sirius]

1. I have a busy day at work today, and am having a hard time even keeping up with READING the posts that you guys went post-happy with while I was sleeping.

2. I fear looking at the post rankings because I am pretty sure nymphette has passed me up.

3. I made jello as part of my job today. I am still adapting to the oodities of this type of job...a far cry from the past seven years of placing stock trades....

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I have no idea if the job interview went well or not, but if past experience is an indicator, that means I will probably get the job. :D

-2- Whenever I think I did really well on a job interview, someone else gets the job.

-3- I am having something called "Riblets" (made by Gardenburger) for dinner and I am a bit wary.

[Cuilanië]

- I have quite a few things to post in Today's First

- I'm back at the office because when I got home, I realized I'd left my keys on my desk... This is good, because I can have an uninterrupted posting session without annoying the hell out of my roommate! :)

- I'm still worried about my health, but a certain niggling little doubt has been put to rest.

[Seusomon]

1. The girls-and-unicorns thing goes back long before Harry Potter. Traditionally, only a virgin could tame a unicorn. (Which always made we wonder about the horn thing)

2. Most talk of world domination plots just serves to direct attention away from the actual plot.

3. My weekend starts in three hours!

[Katiekat]

1. I'm very excited about upcoming events. Saturday, I'm going to a wedding reception which should prove to be very interesting (and a boy I just might like will be there.) Monday, I'm going to see live music ("Raising Grey" and my friend's band "2 Years Later") and the object of my crush might be there, and Tuesday is Open Mic night at the Peanut (and my crush will definitely be there.)

2. I miss kissing.

3. I need to get my ass back on a treadmill.

[bluecrayon]

1. I miss kissing, too.

2. He lives too far away.

3. I like seeing Katiekat smiling again...

[Cuilanië]

- add me to the "I miss kissing" club!

- I just ducked out of "Chain Game Overkill", blushing bright red...
it's going to take me some nerve to spin off that one! :lol::blink::wub::blink::lol:

- I wish I had a crush-boy, but my sights are sadly empty...

[Seusomon]

1. The letters made me do it

2. "Flood control" doesn't have to do with how busy nervousness is, but how long you wait between two of your own posts

3. I would volunteer to provide kisses all around, but I think I might find myself spread a little thin...

[bluecrayon]

1. Cuilanie -- I did it for you!!!

2. I blushed too!

3. hooboy, I need to open some windows... :D

[Cuilanië]

Thanks bluecrayon!!!

- I'm going to head home soon.
- I'm much cheered up - thanks to everyone who's been playing tonight!
- I did not know that flood control had to do with the interval between my posts.

[Ashley]

Wow, I had no idea how out of control these chain games had gotten ;)
1. I'm really excited because one of my favorite bands is coming to Eugene and I'm going to go see them. (Already put this but I'm still very excited)
2. Tonight my house is having borshct (spelling ?) I've never had this... I actually have no idea what it is hmm.. I hope it's good, I feel very hungry.
3. Italian is kicking my butt. I've never had to study 2 hours a day for a class, everyday. I must be really bad at learning languages. Darn.

[medeous]

1. i am absolutely awful at just calling to chat....i feel awkward and intrusive.
2. awkward looks funny...is that really how it's spelled?
3. when i wear a turtleneck, i tend to pull the neck up over my nose. i don't know why.

[Sirius]

1. I'm happy, and I know it, yet I don't want to clap my hands.

2. I can dance if I want to, I can leave my friends behind, but even if my friends don't dance, they are still friends of mine.

3. Even though I think Every Breath You take is about a stalker, I still think it is a kick a** song....

[medeous]

1. i've inflicted my musical tastes on my daughter and stuff her teenybopper head full of 80s music trivia
2. we both sing along whenever we hear in a big country
3. i never liked the rolled up overalls with bare feet thing dexy's midnight runners did

[kittymao]

I totally effing swear I posted on this thing this morning. And yet you guys went, well, for lack of a better term; APESHIT ( okay, maybe there is a better term I could use but have always had an affinity for THAT term) and I can't find the darn thign anywhere.

Er, or maybe that was the I HAVE thread. I don't know. All these chain games are very fun and yet insanely distracting. Brain meld, all facts becoming ONE!

the saying "Dumb as a Post" has singlehandedly gotten into my vocabulary because of ONE person.

[Sirius]

1. Ever time one of you types Brain I read it as Brian and have to reread.

2. We have a personalized towel that reads Brain because the company we ordered from messed up.

3. It was, embarrasingly, a couple of months before either of us noticed.

[kittymao]

Speaking of Brain, my younger brother ( who just returned to duty in Bremerton Wa) just got a tattoo of a BRAIN on his bicep. This means that there is yet ANOTHER idiot who has gotten at tattoo before ME!

He also just got a cellphone. After running up an $800 charge on his first one.

He is NOT the idiot that ushered in "Dumb as a Post." But he might as well be.

[medeous]

1. i also read brain as brian .
2. if i get cough drops that taste like candy, i eat them like candy. i get them anyway.
3.i'm in love with the paper doll i made for pequad and i'm afraid it's not good enough or what she wanted.

[AlienSpy]

1. My feet are so cold that I can hardly move them.

2. One of my dogs (Capsule - the Golden Retriever) is sleeping next to me and she's making weird sounds. She's probably dreaming! :)

3. My nails are getting too long but I hate cutting them. When I type they make this "click click" sound!

Julie

[Bugitha]

1. I feel hopelessly out of the loop as far as the chain games (bleeding into 3 Random Facts) go. I just don't have enough time to play here as much as I'd like to. :(

2. My brother in-law is IM-ing me even as we speak. I don't really want to chat, but since its family and all . . .

. . .it amazes me how cheery I sound when chatting with him and how that is the complete opposite of how I feel tonight.

3. It annoys me to no end that my brother-in-law is twice as likely to make the effort to talk to me as my own sister.

[Sirius]

1. There is a member with an avatar that just...for lack of a better word annoys me.

2. Said member seems cool and I think it is silly that the image makes me want to roll my eyes whenever I see it, so I try to ignore it.

3. Still whenever it pops up I think "I wish she'd change that."

[Cuilanië]

- Personally, I prefer the term 'batshit', but that's OK. You can call me a monkey, kittymao. I can take it.

- I find it harder and harder to remember where exactly I've posted bits of information...

- I had to look up 'awkward' a few weeks ago after having had exactly the same doubts as medeous.

[medeous]

1. i changed my avatar because i was pretty sure it annoyed someone.
2. it was starting to annoy me.
3. this one is not much better.

[Sirius]

1. Medeous is my new friend, rather she wants to be or not. ;)
2. Posting over 120 times in a 24 hour period would make me loose track as well. :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:
3. Seusomon used Mouse Potato in a chain game which is pretty cool. :P

[sarahkate]

1. I'm wondering what Rustell decided to dress up as for Halloween...all I know is that she has a wig. :unsure:

2. I think I might go see Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Halloween night!

3. girl-who-loves-sharks' names thread has reminded me how much I want a baby!

[Sirius]

1. Tonight I am going to be Lucy as in I Love Lucy really because I found this cool 50's style black and white polka dot dress that I fell in love with, and it was the best excuse I could find to use it in a costume.

2. Tomorrow I am going to do the bobby-soxer poodle-skirt and saddle shoes chick, mainly because I am going to be doing a lot of running around and it is one of the few costumes I could come up with that didn't require heels or boots....

3. I thought about being Trinity and bringing the vinyl back out, but it's still very hot here....

[Sirius]

I had more to say, so Three More Random Facts

1. Medeous has the highest average daily posts even though she and Cuilanie are very close.

2. I still don't have a desire to have a baby, maybe that is why I haven't posted in girl-who-loves-names new thread.

3. I am listening to "Never make a pretty woman your wife" another song that makes me smile but Brian wouldn't let me put it on the playlist of our reception. I thought it would be funny.

[sarahkate]

1. I hope Rustell posts some pics of herself in her costumes!

2. I am kind of sad I am not dressing up for Halloween...all of this talk of Halloween costumes around here makes me want to!

3. I think the last time I dressed up I, too, was a 50's girl with poodle skirt & saddle shoes.

[hammerquill]

1. I just found a huge stack of useful-size scraps of bright red bookcloth which were being discarded.

2. I'm drinking red wine.

3. I don't think I possess any items of clothing that are red at the moment - a few dark burgundy reds (one of my favorite colors), but no real reds (not among of my favorites).

[insomnolicious]

I'm drinking an Oktoberfest beer right now.

I've been to Germany, though not to Munich.

October is my favourite month.

[Sirius]

1. I was hoping to post the picture for Sarah kate, but just downloaded 102 pictures from the party and I wasn't in ONE of them.

2. My nephew came as Edward Scissorhands (supercool), my nieces as the headless horseman, mrs. munster and my sister-in-law as bride of frankenstien, my mother as a joker, my step-father as an alien, my dad as a doctor....they all had kick-ass costumes...and even though the guests did the judging I still felt guilty that my family won all the prizes...but they were awesome.

3. I'll try to post pictures.

[Cuilanië]

- I have a ten-year-old stepsister

- I have a wicked and dark sense of humour, but I'm lousy at telling jokes

- I'm wearing a pair of dark red velvet pants

[Cuilanië]

I've more to say too, before I forget what I wanted to post...

- I'm thinking of wearing my Renaissance costume to work on Friday.

- A friend of mine has a picture of me in that costume, I'm trying to get a copy.

- I've only had coffee so far today... and it's 4 pm here already!

[medeous]

1. i took my daughter to a thrift store to get a costume for a party she's going to tonight.
2. she wanted to go to a costume shop and was not happy about going to the thrift store.
3. she has now changed her mind, loves thrift stores and has a kickass costume including fishnet tights, opera length black gloves, a lace mantilla and a magenta satin froufrou flouncy dress...homemade castanets complete the picture.

[bluecrayon]

I got something in the mail yesterday that knocked my socks off!!

I danced last night and it was shivery...

googlebot is definitely on my wave length...

[janeboston]

1_i'm listening to nick cave right now.

2_tonight i will go out to eat at a steak house even though i don't care for steak.

3_i'm hungry for spaghetti.

[bluecrayon]

1. I love spaghetti especially after shivery dancing...

2. friend from Memphis coming for 5 days today

3. House is a mess and I am too distracted by infatuation to find my way around it!

[medeous]

1. i don't like to dance
2. i don't really like swimming
3. i really don't like parties, especially those that involve dancing or swimming.

[Bugitha]

1. I brought home my little kitty from the vet (she got spayed yesterday) and she was so scared it took two people to rip her from the cage she was in. :( I felt so sorry for her, I let her sleep on my head (her favorite spot) this afternoon even though I was trying to read.

2. I had hot pizza for lunch and cold pizza for dinner and tomorrow I'm going back on my diet (hmm . . . where have I heard that before?)

3. I feel like writing letters. I need more penpals.

[hammerquill]

1. I got a haircut today.
2. I found a pile of commercial bookbinding papers being thrown away today... rolls and rolls of the stuff.
3. The wine I was intending to have with dinner was corked. Yuck.
4. I'm supposed to go to the NaNoWriMo kick-off party tomorrow... don't know if I'll feel like it.

[bluecrayon]

1. I want to see hammerquill's new haircut


2. I am taking my class to Point Reyes for an over nite next week.


3. I am alone on a Saturday night and feeling lonely... sigh.

4. Hammerquill cheated and snuck another random fact in (and that's a fact!)

[cindi1023]

1. I just got adopted by voodoolily. THANKS SO MUCH!!! **little happy dance**

2. Came home yesterday from a 4 day trip to the beach, and, if it's possible, I think I'm paler now than I was when I left!

3. **Edit - removed 3rd fact from cyberspace because I don't want it to come back and bite me in the ass later**

Sorry for the rant..... had to get it off my chest! :rolleyes:

[medeous]

1. i want to know where hammerquill finds all this nifty stuff...he sounds like a dumpster diver extraordinaire!
2. i'm cold.
3. i wish dairy queen hadn't changed the name of their frozen drinks from misty to pow'r slush. it always made me want to sing, before:
Once a boy named Mister Me bemoaned a great regret
I've floundered in the misty sea, but can't abide its mystery
I wound up sad, you bet

[Cuilanië]

- After years of trying to get it right, I have finally managed to correctly hit the opening note for the alto part of 'O Fortuna', from Carmina Burana, while singing to the accompanying music. I've blocked on this for ages... I'm happy. :)

- Can you guess? I'm listening to Carmina Burana, and singing along. I even pulled the choral score out of my closet.

- I'm having dinner with friends tonight.

[hammerquill]

1. i want to know where hammerquill finds all this nifty stuff...he sounds like a dumpster diver extraordinaire!
Not really, though I don't mind pulling stuff out of the dumpsters when it's really good: got an early education in that when my father found a gigantic pile of Legos being thrown away in one one day. Where I've found this stuff? A factory that makes office binding machines, for doing semi-professional-looking bindings for corporate reports, and such, happens to be right next to where I work. They throw away long, thin strips of binding materials all the time, but this is the first time I've seen larger stuff.

I was going to put this one under today's first, but I'm here, so...

1. I have been pierced by infinity. Early this morning I was rooting through a box of random stuff and something lanced into my right ringfinger, drawing blood. It turned out to be a thin steel letter Aleph I found somewhere, with sharp points on it. (Aleph is used as a symbol for certain infinities in math.)

2. I love Carmina Burana!

3. If I sang (when anyone could hear me), I would probably be classed as a tenor: just because my voice is very high, not for my attitude. ;)

And to tie these themes together, a mathematician's drinking song: {All together now, "Aleph-null bottles of beer on the wall, Aleph-null bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around, Aleph-null bottles of beer on the wall."}

[janeboston]

i'm wearing a skirt right now.

my legs are cold.

i'm listening to the black heart procession.

[Meika]

I blew a big wad of money on clothes and cds the other day.
My test results from the cardiologists came back normal
I got a new kitty :D

[Sirius]

Congratulations on the new kitty Meika!

1. My cat is getting really old.

2. She's not cleaning herself very well and she is starting to stink.

3. Brian has started giving her baths, which is sad, painful and hilarious to watch.

[kittymao]

1. When I'm not at work, I hate work; but when I actually GO, it's not all that bad.

2. I want a bird. But I want a big one. Like, at least as big as a bantam chicken. But Chickens aren't legal in residential areas, and the legal birds of that size are at least $200. :( just can't win.

3. Mummies are scary. Like, weird scary- that someone over 3000 years dead can still exist in a recognizable human condition. Crazy stuff. Really.

4.On the theme of mummies-
I learned the other day the processes of preparing a body for an Open-Casket display. SO not cool to think that the people I've seen have had that happen to them.

[medeous]

1. the grocery workers in my town are on strike.
2. i am a member of the NEA, so i haven't been to the grocery store since the strike started weeks ago.
3. today, i drove to another state because i really wanted some food.

bonus facts:
a. i got lost.
b. i bought all sorts of stuff i wouldn't ordinarily buy because i was overwhelmed by food that was not poptarts or ez mac.
c. i had my receipt out in order to prove that i bought my groceries out of state, in case my neighbor saw me with all those bags.
d. i felt very guilty.

[AlienSpy]

2. My boyfriend is a much better driving teacher than my mom.

3. I love seedless cucumbers with salt and pepper.

3. i like a boy with brown eyes and he likes me, but he's not bluecrayon's brown-eyed boy.

[Sirius]

1. I wasted today.
2. I'm giddy about wasting today.
3. I was very productive yesterday.

[hammerquill]

1. Neither today nor yesterday has been productive, but neither has been wasted.
2. I'm almost completely out of high-denomination stamps, but I have literally hundreds of interesting lower-denomination ones. Need bigger envelopes to use them, though.
3. Recently I've been looking for two things around my apartment: a little book, which could be anywhere, and a big, framed poster, which seems to be hiding a lot better than I would have thought possible.

[bluecrayon]

1. Today was just too darn hot for me, I hid in lots of shadows


2. Hammerquill was maybe 5 or 6 blocks away from me today and I didn't even know it!

3. I have been working on a grant most of the afternoon and it has fried my brain.

[Christine_0701]

1. i got reassesed by student loans, and am getting an extra 530 bucks this month, and an extra 130 bucks in january

2. my eyes change color daily (and i've been told with my moods, too) between blue and green

3. i have lost my stapler, and can't find it ANYWHERE!!!!

LOL!!! This one had me giggling for half an hour... :lol:
Just before my roommate came home and kicked me off the computer again. <_<

Hammerquill : 3. Recently I've been looking for two things around my apartment: a little book, which could be anywhere, and a big, framed poster, which seems to be hiding a lot better than I would have thought possible.

Christine_0701 : 3. i have lost my stapler, and can't find it ANYWHERE!!!!
Hmm. I often lose things, look for them everywhere, creating an even bigger mess in the process, only to find the darn thing a day later, right under my damn nose... I think I have a little invisible evil elf that delights in vanishing my stuff...

- My goal for today : 1500 posts. No sweat - that's 16 to go counting this one! :P ^_^

- I am still in the process or reorganizing my room - it's a nightmare - but I've got my crafting supplies nicely tucked into two drawers and my correspondence/Nervousness mail in another. Problem is, I don't know where to put the stuff that was originally in those drawers! <_< In the meantime, my room is a true disaster area. :( It's beyond bad.

- My posting habits are going to get a new crimp put into them... My roommate will no longer tolerate finding me on the computer past 11 pm. :(

[medeous]

1. i wonder why Cuilanië's roommate has so much power over her.
2. i have cramps.
3. when i lose something, i pray to st. anthony: 'tony tony, look around, something's lost and must be found". ah, the perils of being a catholic in saint louis.

[Cuilanië]

- It's not that my roommate has power over me, precisely, it's a question of the configuration of the appartment (his room is actually the central space - it used to be the living room - and I have to cross it on my way to and from my own room), and the fact that the phone is in his room, hence the internet connection is on his computer, hence he gets annoyed as hell when I'm in his room when he arrives, but it's not like I have a whole lot of a choice, now do I? How am I supposed to live without the Internet now? :(

- Cramps are not good, but I wish I would get some right about now... or better, even, three weeks ago... <_<

- I'm going to my theatre class now (get used to seeing this on Mondays... :P )
Update - it's cancelled. I'm torn between annoyance at this and delight at being able to stay and post! I'm such an addict.

- And a bonus, because the other one is a sort of cheat - my chiropractor is on vacation this week. No massage, and no setting my spine straight this week. Ick.

[kittymao]

1. I am looking forward to animating today. Granted, becuase it's a lip sunch to Monty Python.

2. I need to go to the P.O. and mail things, but the only cash I have is $6 in change. And I like those guys- I don't want to alienate them like that.

3. Halloween is coming. I really want to be more excited, but I don't know how. Maybe the Makeup will be the kicker.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. My belly feels extra-large today and it's making me sick.

2. It feels like I have acquired a long scratch on my chin, but I haven't looked at it the mirror.

3. I am about to pour my fourth cup of coffee of the day.

[Cuilanië]

- There are now 22 chain games.

- I like walking on foggy nights.

- I wish I could learn to speak every language on Earth... but that's too much to ask. For now, I'm settling on learning German properly, and deciding what comes next. (Italian is a good bet, at the moment, or one of the Slavic languages)

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- "Lymph nodes" and "Favorite On-Hold Song" are the only topics in the Q&Q to which I have not contributed at least once.

-2- I wish I could play every musical instrument ever invented.

-3- Yesterday I discovered that I enjoy pruning the hedges.

[Seusomon]

1. We carved 10 pumpkins this weekend.

2. I made pumpkin pie from scratch

3. I finished four sets of cards for my Harry Potter LMAO this weekend!

[kittymao]

I want to carve a pumpkin with my spiffy wood-carving tools so I can do that glowing-skins thing and also get fab details- but taht still means buying and hollowing out a pumpkin...

Maybe if I get a pumpkin, I can plant the seeds in teh Backyard and grow my OWN pumpkins! Ak, I love plants, taht would be so much FUN!
Oh, but it's not seed-planting season, right? *shrugs*

I am getting more excited about Halloween. Finally. But it could also be teh sugatr teeming through my system. Anyway. Gaaaa!

and a bonus- I want to learn how to cook Lobster. * maybe someone can send me directions? :D *

[Bugitha]

1. Today my boss told me that I will be cross-trainig in a department that might actually be able to keep me after the holidays. Yay. I really like this new company.

2. After weeks of no-good-mail, today the postal gods smiled on me and filled up my box with great stuff. :D

3. I think I'm coming down with a cold. Bring on the zinc!

[hammerquill]

1. I would like to conduct an orchestra. Failing that, I would like to learn to play the church organ. Or the wurlitzer organ. Failing that, I'd like to get at least passable at the piano.

2. There's an Indian silent film I'd just love to see again playing nearby, but it's on the first evening of NaNoWriMo, so I should really be writing!

3. I have just made some Ibarra hot chocolate. An odd thing to do on one of our few really balmy nights of the year...

[medeous]

1. i used to play the organ at church when i was sixteen
2. one time, i played a song from the grinch who stole christmas...everybody kind of knew it and hummed along, but no one recognized where it came from ;)
3. yardenxanthe got my ATCs and sent me a PM that really made me feel quite good. yay, heather! :D

[Cuilanië]

- This is my 1600th post. :blink: I can hardly believe it. :blink:

- There is no such thing as the wrong weather for hot chocolate. Or ice cream, for that matter. :P

- I picked the photos I had developed, and I'm disappointed. And why is it so much more expensive to develop pictures here than in, say, Canada???

[bluecrayon]

1. I basically stayed up all night and am feeling none the worse for wear...


2. I talked to infatuation guy for about 6 hours


3. I feel even more loopy than usual -- :D

[sarahkate]

1. I saw the C-SPAN School Bus (http://www.c-span.org/classroom/schoolbus/bushome.asp) rolling through Schenectady this past weekend.

2. The only times I ever had to ride a school bus (other than on field trips) were kindergarten through third grade. Fourth through twelfth grade I walked to school.

3. I didn't like school very much, but I loved going to the school library in elementary grades - we each got to check out a book once per week.


*bonus fact*

4. I haven't checked out a book from the library in a LONG time. I don't know why though....because I love books. Maybe I should get a library card this weekend.

[Seusomon]

1. I forgot my security badge when I came to work this morning - what a rigamarole

2. I'm amazed that something as apparently simplistic as "numbers, numbers" has managed to become so -- bizarre and baroque.

3. I'm starting to catch up on Nervousness stuff!

[Cuilanië]

- I've extended the deadline on the first two objects I created.

- The only times I haven't taken a bus to school were grades 1 through 4.

- I haven't been to a library at all since moving to France, even though there's one less than five minutes from my place. Inconvenient opening hours. :blink:

[bluecrayon]

1. I have felt from the beginning that I LIVE in the Numbers Numbers thread


2. Found out that it's possible to talk through a 120 minute calling card in
about 15 minutes last night. (at least that's what it seemed like)

3. I am way tired and am probably going to be really loopy today so clear me
some space!!

[Seusomon]

1. Nervousness went down exactly when I posted onto "Thumbs up, thumbs down" so the main board shows Euphoria as the most recent poster, but actually it was me

2. The Vietnamese restaurant here is closed for a month because of a "family matter", so I had sushi today instead.

3. I saw the young moon last night.

[Meika]

Congratulations on the new kitty Meika!


Thanks. :)

[hammerquill]

1. Autumn has come with a chilly, active, theatrical, but not very powerful windstorm tonight, putting an end to Indian Summer fire weather.

2. Now, between the temperature, the wind, and the end of Daylight Saving Time, I can believe in the coming of winter (to the extent we have such a thing in these parts). This point in the year is always one of my favorites, for its anticipations, mostly.

3. I have Kurosawa's Ran checked out of the library on DVD. I have to return it tomorrow, so I'm going to watch it tonight instead of doing anything useful.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. I got the new job! I start Monday, and get a 6% raise.

2. I am having my first knitting lesson at lunch today, courtesy of kismet09.

3. My boyfriend, Chris, turns 25 today. He hates his birthday, but I don't understand why.

[sarahkate]

1. I'm so happy for Heather getting the new job!

2. I was going to post that a little while ago...but I thought it would be rude of me to tell everyone she got a new job before she posted it! But now that she has I can say: CONGRATULATIONS HEATHER!!

3. My boyfriend turns 25 this year too! On November 27th (which is Thanksgiving here in the US this year)

[Seusomon]

1. I love this time of year.

2. I have a new ATM card, but my PIN hasn't come yet, which is a huge inconvenience

3. I have a bit of a sore throat today, because my nose was blocked and so I slept with my mouth open.

[Sirius]

1. I don't have a boyfriend, but if I did, him turning 25 would be cool. (Now that's random!)

2. I am going to Sedona on Saturday. Wonder if Voodoolily will be jealous.

3. I'm lunch-hungry and it is 9:32am.


Seusomon- I think today is going to be our first fall like day...and I am almost giddy about it. Of course, I put on long sleeves and long pants in anticipation so it will probably be 105 degrees.

[Cuilanië]

yay Sharky! B)


- I am going to take shameless advantage of the fact that I work for a language school, and get a card which will allow me free access to national museums. *huge grin*

- 30 hours till NaNoWriMo *shiver*

- I have my travel dates for the holidays: I'll be in Montreal between Dec. 22nd and Jan. 4th. And I still think that's way too short, but what can I say... Still, I'm going home! ^_^

[medeous]

1. i have an itchy spot right in the middle of my back that i cannot reach.
2. rich, the guy sitting next to me, claims he has one characteristic in common with pepe le peau...i think he may be underestimating.
3. some evil person put my shool pictures in my mailbox. i had no idea i looked so sock-puppety.

[kittymao]

I have class in two hours, and homework to do for it, but am avoiding it like the plague. I don't really know why.

I know what Hammerquill's talking about with teh weather. I love this season- makes me wanna pull on knee-high socks and shorts, and kick around a soccerball. Yaay fall!

Tonight I leave for my BF's place, where I will prepare for a halloween party, and hopefully get smashed off my bum. I won't be back until sunday, hopefully with the hangover of the century.

[Seusomon]

1. The name "kittymao" immediately suggests another politicized mammalian species, which oddly enough has not yet made an appearance in any chain game.

2. I'm not really hungry (had a big breakfast burrito this morning), but I still might enjoy driving into town, getting some cash out of the bank, and eating lunch.

3. I can't decide whether to do it or not.

[kittymao]

DO IT!
DOWNTOWN DRIVING IN THE FALL!
*sighs*

[Seusomon]

1. I did it - and ate too much Chinese food.

2. The communist cats in China are not as vociferous as the French monkeys - but there are many, many more of them.

3. Tonight I'm going to finish the last touches on several slams I need to send on.

[Bugitha]

- 30 hours till NaNoWriMo *shiver*

Ack! I hadn't thought about it in a matter of hours. OK, let the madness begin!

1. I have characters and a setting for my nano--but no plot. Hmm. This could be a problem.

2. I went to the craft store for one little ol' gel pen (white or light blue) tonight and walked out with 3 gel pens (medium blue, green and silver) and a paint pen (white). I also bought some twine.

3. I lied to someone tonight. :unsure:

[Sirius]

1. Christine has snuck securly into the Top poster position while the attention has been focused on Cuilanie and Seusomon's competition.

2. The slyness can only mean she is part of one of the many world domination plots.

3. We must discover if it is french monkeys, prehistoric guinea pigs or communist cats and successfully stop it.

As hammerquill has so kindly reminded me (I was panicking for this very reason...) here is the NaNoWriMo motto for you :

No Plot? No Problem!

- I have cooked myself a real dinner last night, for the first time in way too long.

- I'm happy today: two people have signed up for Life, Entropy and Paradox, I received a very cool piece of mail this morning, NaNo tonight, and it's Friday. Plus what I mentioned yesterday. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

- I chickened out of wearing a costume to work today. It's not that common in France, and I didn't want to twig my new co-workers onto the fact that I'm a complete loon so fast. *g*

[bluecrayon]

1. I fell off the planet of nness several months ago and I am still trying to catch up which is why I didn't sign up for Life, Entropy and Paradox, which is my good friend Cuilanie's lmao -- no more lmaos for me until everything on my table is gone. :(


2. I missed Hammerquill last night; I spent too many hours again in calling card love zone...


3. Apparently, the time I WAS here I was somewhere else anyway and seem to have gotten lost all over the place. I am using maps today!! :D

[Seusomon]

1. I noticed Christine's meteoric rise last week, but deemed it safer not to draw attention to it.

2. I'm wondering how senator Joseph McCarthy would have fared in a room full of cats.

3. I get to soak in a hot tub tonight!

[Seusomon]

1. I see I'm almost 30 posts up on Cuilanië, and I'm not sure how it happened.

2. It's Halloween.

3. I had a breakfast burrito and grapefruit juice this morning, and I'm not feeling hungry yet.

[Katiekat]

1. I dropped some cds off at my crush's house for him (he's going on a road trip), and I left a note with my phone number. He didn't call me before he left, which now has me wondering all sorts of things (did I leave them at the right house? did he not see them stuck inside the door? did he get them, but decide to call me when he gets back? :blink: ) I'm going slightly nutty with all the what ifs.

2. I've been invited to go to a Halloween party tonight, and honestly, I don't really wanna go. I want to hang out with other people that all seem to be doing other things. But, I just missed *dammit!* a phone call from someone I would like to hang out with, so hopefully I'll talk to him later today.

3. Having a boy play guitar and sing songs to you is a huge turn on.

And one more for the heck of it:

4. I am constantly tickled by midwestern language quirks, such as pronouncing 'washed' as "warshed" and the contraction "like at" (shortened form of "like that"). :lol:

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. Katiekat's crush is making me wish I had a crush. Is that still allowed when you have a boyfriend?

2. Today is my last day in my old position, and I am about as sick of this job as possible!

3. I once had a faculty member who didn't want to stand in line at the library tell me that her time was more valuable than anyone else's in line.

[littlest-bee]

1. I'm viewing Nervousness on my boyfriend's mac - I'm pleased to say that it looks identical to the site viewed on a PC!

2. For the last few days I've had the worst sweet tooth - all I want to eat is biscuits and chocolate!

3. I finally managed to buy some acetone today (for image transfers) its taken me two weeks and visits to several pharmacies get it.

[Ashley]

1. Today is the first time in a long time that I looked on the new posts page and saw a line of my name. It feels good to be back, well at least partially back.
2. My co-op's Halloween party is today!!!! I'm so excited, it's our first party for the year and we're notorious for our parties. In fact 5 years ago one of our parties created one of the Eugene riots. Hee hee hee. Sorry, riots are bad I just think it's funny that my house could do that.
3. I have a crazy memory when it comes to people. Not so much names, but I never or hardly ever forget a person. It kind of weirds people out because I'll remember them from years and years ago. Like yesterday I saw a girl I went to church with 8 years ago and remembered all the games we used to play when we were little, and like all these crazy details about our friendship. I'm really not a stalker, I just don't forget things like that. I wish I could apply it to something better than freaking people out.

[medeous]

1. i made my dog wear a purple witch hat with pink yarn hair when i walked her earlier...she was very embarassed.
2. i am already out of halloween candy and i swear i didn't eat it.
3. someone is knocking at my door.

[Meika]

I bought too much candy

In fact, I bought enough candy for every kid on my block and all of the surrounding blocks too.

I expect to have plenty of candy left over.

[gwensmom]

This is the first Halloween we have lived in this neighborhood which is full of kids.

I bought tons of candy but very few kids are coming by.

I wish I could transport my candy to medeous!

[Sirius]

1. Katiekat's crush is making me wish I had a crush. Is that still allowed when you have a boyfriend? or married? happily married? that crush feeling is nice


1. Not many people were in costume today.

2. I bought two Christmas trees and tons of Christmas decorations for work today. We are so giddy about it we want to start decorating on Monday.

3. I've never been excited about decorating for Christmas on Halloween before.

[littlest-bee]

1. we didn't get any trick or treaters last night, how disappointing.
2. As part of my birthday celebrations, me & my boy are going on a tour of Big Ben! I'm so excited!
3. I'm in a house with no heating so I'm wearing all the clothes available to stop me freezing!

[Cuilanië]

Have you seen the Nightmare Before Christmas?


- The movie mentioned above is one of my all-time favorites. I love the animation, as well.

- I've turned on this computer to read an email and send another. I couldn't resist at least browsing the forums, and then I couldn't resist posting.

- I didn't write much last night. I'll do better today, I'm full of ideas!

[bluecrayon]

1. I was sad this morning to see that my pumpkin, which I spent HOURS carving had been ruthlessly murdered in the night...

2. The art class I do for children turned crazy yesterday and wound up becoming a giant love session -- I realized I love all these kids immensely. Every one of them got a hug!!

3. I got GoofyBot in the mail yesterday and laughed out loud. Kittymao rocks!!!

[medeous]

1. i have a headache right above my left eye.
2. when i have a headache, my first thought is "omigod it's a stroke!"
3. i'm a bit of a hypochondriac/drama queen.

[mejaka]

1. Last fall we threw our pumpkin guts in the compost heap, and after a winter of the usual North Idaho snow and cold, our compost heap produced 20 pumpkins, some in time for Halloween.

2. Today I'm starting a game which will involve the entire neighborhood/church community, involves exponential mathematics and treats, and will last until Thanksgiving. I have played Halloween and Christmas variations of this game, too.

3. I'm immensely proud of the bald eagle costume I made for my three-year-old daughter, and immensely pleased that she came up with "bald eagle" over the many froufrou variations of fairy/princess/ballerina little girls are so prone to.

[Bugitha]

1. i have a headache right above my left eye.

Lol, medeous. I have the same problem, though when I get a head ache I usually go with the possibility of a brain tumor.

1. I spent over an hour trying to balance my checkbook tonight--checking and rechecking my math, and then I realized that I had taken the beginning balance off a statement from two months ago.

2. I went to a friends house for Halloween in hopes of meeting her ghost which my friend claims turns the stereo and ceiling fan off and on and once left a childs rocker in the middle of her narrow hallway.

3. I wrote just over 1/30th of my nanowrimo novel today. I was hoping for more than that, but for the first day I guess its ok. :huh:

[hammerquill]

1. I love words which, though abstract, are still onomatopoetic. Mejaka's use of "froufrou" just now has reminded me of what fun there is in these. Now I want to invent a pair of cartoon characters - absurdly cute, but with sarcastic attitudes about issues of cuteness in cartoons - called Froufrou and Twee. They could guest star on the Animaniacs.

2. I loved The Nightmare Before Christmas the first time I saw it, and though I was enthusiastic to see it again, I couldn't stand it the second time. This happens with a rare few books and movies: I think I'll want to see them again and again, and find them unpalatable on second look.

3. I think I may have overshopped in preparation for the NaNoWriMo marathon.

[Sirius]

1. I couldn't stand it the first time I saw it in the theatres, but loved it the second time I saw it when it came out on VHS. Maybe I should see it again and see what happens.

2. I, in my infinite organizational plan, have multiple "bags" (packpack, briefcase, luggage, whatever) one is just my purse, one is for everyday with stuff like my planner, letters to answer, papers referring to personal calls that I need to make, gift lists, etc., one is for my tour guide job, one is for my insurance job, one is for my teaching job. They have all simaltaneously exploded into unorganized messes and have consequentially been dumped out on the floor behind me.

3. Any ideas what today's project is? (Oh, that's not a fact!) Today I will be cleaning out and reorganizing all of my separate little worlds in addition to my desk which also has exploded into mounds of paper. It baffles me how everything can continue on this path of neat, neat, neat, neat, BOOM - A Mess!

[Sirius]

1. This is post 1415 for me, 536 more and my posts and user number will be the same.

2. Yesterday, I was with someone who told people from Canada that property taxes are really low in Arizona. I pay almost $1700 a year, I don't think that is low.

3. It's 11AM and I haven't taken a shower yet. Usually I do that first thing in the morning, so I am feeling all rebellious. I need to get out more if I think that being awake for 4 hours without showering is rebellion..

[Dalmaney]

1. This weekend is the first weekend in a long time to actually feel like a weekend. I've got out with my friends twice, not gone to bed before two, and slept til noon. It makes it hard to accomplish much, but it feels sooooo good.

2. My friend Daniel has an obsession with inverting stuffed animals. That may not be a fact about me, but it's pretty fun to watch.

3. My crush is coming home to visit next weekend. I really need to move on, but in the meantime... hee hee hee!

[hammerquill]

1. I have just discovered Reed's Ginger Ice Cream. MMMMmmm. MINE, all MINE! heheh.

2. I am not ready for the weekend to be over. Even more unready than usual at this time on a Sunday, that is.

3. I have plans to attend a meeting this Wednesday on how one submits proposals for installation art in local airports and public buildings. It will, no doubt, be utterly stultifying, but even thinking about the possibility of doing that kind of work has me deep in consideration of new directions to take my latest big metalworking idea. Giving yourself permission to think really big is a great thing.

[kittymao]

1. I was a Cael'erethian Dark Elf (http://www.santharia.com/races/elves.htm) for Halloween. I need to find pictures.

2. I didn't get too drunk. Not enough red bull for bull-blasters. I like to shoot too, but my BF was being stingy with the Jager.

3. i really like fall. I got to wear my scarf again.

[Sirius]

1. I am going on a day trip Wednesday, and I am hoping to get far enough north to witness autumn/fall.

2. It is great to occassionally have a day off mid-week.

3. ...but that means I'll be working Saturday teaching a CPR class..

[medeous]

1. being able to leave school during school hours (and NOT be riding on a school bus with a bunch of hollering kids) almost makes me feel grown up.

2. i have friday off so that i may attend a conference if i so desire...i will be conferring with my pillow until noonish, i believe.

3. we have a free store for teachers here called KidSmart,which is a wonderful thing and if you have one in your area, you should support it and if you don't, you should help establish one.

[hammerquill]

1. We have a similar place to that KidSmart, called The Depot (actually The East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse). Not free, but as close to it as they can manage with our area's rents. A very dangerous place for Nervous people, especially ones who don't own pickup trucks to carry it all home in.

2. Not far from there (and near where I work) is another dangerous spot, called Urban Ore, which started as a place that took usable stuff out of the city dump and sold it (cheap). Now for the most part Berkeley people - and even businesses - know about Urban Ore and its imitators, and will donate usable things there, or to The Depot, rather than dumping them. But there are still a lot of unbelievable things being thrown away.

3. Since I was a little ahead on my NaNoWriting today, and since my back hurt and my eyes were melting, I took some time off and actually got halfway through a Nness project I've been putting off. Wonders never cease.

[Seusomon]

1. "Free Association" will soon pass "Three Random Facts"

2. I had a wonderful weekend, even though I did not sleep much.

3. My first cat was named "Elbakinnitskin"

[sarahkate]

1. We only had ONE trick-or-treater at our house on Halloween!! :( Now we have a big bowl of candy that will probably be stale by the time we finish eating it. I think I will have to bring it into work so my coworkers can eat some of it!

2. I ended up not going to see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Ha
