[freckledcutie]

That does sound cute, Sarah...take a picture.

1. school is out

2. I have to stay until 7:15

3. I wanna be home checking my mail because I'm expecting a shipment of 100 vintage postcards any day now

[Dalmaney]

1. Today is the second day in a row that my mailbox was totally empty.

2. I wrote my other paper this afternoon, and it is also a page too short.

3. I can't believe that after twenty-one years in Canada I have never been in a heated seat car, while you crazy Americans seem to have them all over the place. Weird.

[Meika]

I have the urge to paint our dressers wild random colors but my husband frowned at me when I suggested it.

I love looking at peoples interiors on the DIGS boards.

I never manage to type and entry without going back to edit at least once.

[medeous]

1. i got my hair cut tonight.
2. he cut off enough to make 2 small dogs.

I get to wear jeans to work tomorrow...yeah...that means I can sleep later.

[medeous]

1. i get to wear jeans tomorrow
2. but i decided to call in sick, so i can wear whatever the hell i want, anyway
3. tomorrow is the only friday our school is in session this november

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I would have been moritified to see my teacher in the bathroom when I was a kid.1. When I was in high school, one of the stalls in the bathroom had no door. My math teacher would come in an use THAT stall all the time. AND she would talk to me while she was going potty in full view. After this happened several times, I stopped using that bathroom.

2. I'm getting ready to eat french fries for the second time today.

3. I want to go grocery shopping. :huh:

[bluecrayon]

Nymphette is wonderful and I'm happy she got such a nice present from us!

I WANT one of her ATCs -- I do, I do, I do!!!

I finished my grant and I am giddy and will probably chain game all night!

[Sirius]

1. I can't find the Celebrity Crushes thread. I looked in "Topics that don't fit" and "Quizes and Questions" I must be blind again.

2. People's Sexiest Man 2003 (http://extratv.warnerbros.com/dailynews/extra/11_03/11_19b.html) I thought that thread would be the best place to post that.

3. Looks like I have to make room for another Magazine Cover......

[medeous]

<swoon> he's dreamy! :wub: :rolleyes: :wub:

1. johnny depp was the topic of lunchroom conversation today.
2. there must be a tipped over trash can somewhere in my house..this evening i've said: "we don't eat styrofoam!" "we don't chew lightbulbs!" and "we don't shred toilet paper!" to my dog.
2. we may not do those things, but apparentlly she does.

[Ashley]

I have a small, white, brick-shaped cat with a 4 inch tail. she is named Minnie Pearl the Punk Rock Girl
Ooh, The Dead Milkmen I heart them. That's such a good use of a song for a name.
I'm afraid I may have more than 3 facts, oh no!
1. I've been away for a day or so, it feels rather odd. It was awesome though, on Tuesday night my friend Dorian asked if I wanted to go to the coast with him and spend the night at his friends house. So, I dropped everything and drove to the coast and spent 2 nights there and skipped 5 classes. I'm bad.
2. I'm so sad. Rupert just got voted off Survivor. Ok, now you can all laugh, I'm used to it.
3. I got an A on my Indian Art History midterm!!! It was awesome, before my teacher handed out the tests she said it was a much harder test and scores were much lower than the last midterm and then I got mine and it was like 3 points away from a perfect score and said great work on it. Sorry, that sounds so little kidish, but I haven't gotten a "great work" on any paper since High School.
4. I went to the hot springs this weekend at 2:00 AM. It was awesome. I'd never gone to a natural hotspring or skinny dipped with friends. So much fun!
5. Thanksgiving is next week! It'll be my first one since being a vegetarian. I think it will go well. I'm also happy cause my friend won't be able to make it home for Thanksgiving so he's going to come to my house. I've never brought a friend to Thanksgiving. I feel like I'm in the movie "Son in Law".

[Sirius]

1. I can't think of The Dead Milkmen without the phrase "bitchin' camaro" going through my head. Drive to the Bahamas. BIG LIZARD IN MY BACKYARD is their only cd I own. Now I can't remeber who sung/sang Elvis is Everywhere.

2. Brian is looking at "funny stuff" on his computer and I have to keep getting up to see what he is laughing about.

3. The Holiday Craft Show is Saturday.


8 more

[hammerquill]

1. I unloaded a quarter of a ton of brass from a truck today.

2. The cart overbalanced as we were moving the brass to storage and its handle just missed cracking me in the face, which might have lost me teeth, or worse.

3. The ensuing moment of useless rage at this inanimate object got me near to completing the gamut of all possible emotions today. But not quite.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. I got my paycheck, which reflects my promotion and raise. The raise was 6%, and I didn't know if the net amount would also be 6%, but it is! Hooray! An extra $80 per month I can save. Or try to save. Or spend on yarn and postage.

2. Damnit! I keep forgetting to mail Rustell's check and stamps for WHO ARE YOU?

3. I made a budget yesterday for the rest of November & December, and left out a huge expense, inadvertently: Gasoline. And I was thinking my finances were in good shape before I realized that...

[stargal1998]

1. I fell halfway normal this morning, which is strange.

2. My novel for NaNoWriMo is actually going places.

3. I think the lady i work with is leaving for vacation next week, which is really cool because she hasn't said a word to me all week since I've been sick. Of course, I only asked if I could borrow a graphics cd through email... But I think that's hideous. If you worked with someone who was sick, wouldn't you try to be nice to her or something? Especially if that person is one of the main people that tries to talk to you and bring you into work related discussions??? What a brat!

2. Damnit! I keep forgetting to mail Rustell's check and stamps for WHO ARE YOU?


1. You're not the only one, I kept forgetting to do that too! I said I was going to mail it on Tuesday night - and I even went to the post office that night but I completely forgot to bring the envelope for Rustell with me! I finally got it in the mail last night though.

2. I sent cash in the envelope. I hope that was ok! I am always afraid to send cash - but it was only a few dollars, so I will just hope it arrives safely!

3. I am so mad at myself. I have ATCs due for an LMAO on Monday. I have had since I think the middle of October to work on themm & I waited until this week to start doing them & they just aren't coming out great. Agh. I probably won't get them out in the mail until tomorrow morning so I doubt they will get to their destination by Monday. I am really dissapointed in myself, I procrastinate all of the time and it feels like there is just nothing I can do to change. :(

[littlest-bee]

1. I have uber cold feet. I am always cold at work, especially in the mornings and I wondered if it was because I go to the gym before work so I'm always a bit tired and hungry til lunchtime and being tired and hungry makes me cold. Today I ate a massive lunch (seriously, I'm actually contemplating un-doing my trousers a button!) and now I'm sitting here feeling uncomfortably full, vaguely sick and cold. Bugger.

2. I bought seven balls of wool at lunch time in anticipation of a scarf knitting frenzy over the next few days.

3. I used to read at least half a dozen online diaries and blogs everyday but slowly I've cut back to just one which is only updated 3 or 4 times a week but is regularly so funny I laugh outloud.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. On Fridays, most people in my office order lunch. Today I am having pizza. Mushroom & Pepperoni. YUM.

2. The last time I had Mushroom & Pepperoni Pizza I was hanging out with Siafu.

3. Chris bought salt for margaritas and it comes in a little Mexican hat. I love it!

[Sirius]

1. None of you ever come to visit me.

2. I have budget worksheets, and expense worksheets and all of those things to make sure you don't forget things like gasoline. I could probably pull them out and share. Since, you know, I did that type of stuff for a living.

3. I spent an hour taping signs to the ground so everyone could find their spots for tomorrows craft show.


Bonus Fact for GwensMom, while I usually do have my Christmas cards done by now, I am working the day after Thanksgiving and am going to spend that day doing my cards. It has been hard to refrain, so yes, I've already started.


7 more

[sarahkate]

1. I am wondering why Rustell has turned into a giraffe.

2. I liked Rustell & the liquored Santa!

3. I should change my avatar, but I don't have anything good to change it to.

[kittymao]

I need to run errands today. Fill a prescription, get some food and write like a whirling dervish. So that means I have to leave the house AND pull out money from the bank. But hey. Stuff needs to get done- no matter HOW i do it.

I really want to get my nano novel done, but I am afraid I won't. I can maybe use my BF's computer, but I still would need an internet connection to do it to update. Ah. Well, I'll do it. I will. Just you see.

Uhm. what was i goign to say? Oh. had terrible heartburn last night. Should probably buy some Tums, just to have around.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. This post will tie me with medeous in the Top 10 posters. But I am sure she will be ahead again before long!

2. Today I discovered that I can use my campus card in the Coke machine in the library. Wow! No more fumbling for coins, or worse, gettting my change eaten!

3. I am so full of pizza that I feel like I am going to pop.

Group IB

When silver reaches melting point, it ceases momentarily to glow the unearthly orange it has assumed as it heated up. The surface expands, changes to liquid, but the metal holds its shape. It is for that moment liquid metal, but unlike normal, bright-glowing molten metal - more like mercury, flowing, alive, quicksilver indeed, but as when it's cool, a more beautiful color far than mercury.

Most alloys melt at a lower temperature than either of their constituent metals. It's one reason alloys are used. When you melt silver or gold onto copper, the metals fuse, and alloy, and the temperature around them makes the whole melt suddenly, and blazed holes appear where you had placed the precious metals.

Gold prefers to keep to itself, and will as it melts form a ball, standing alone on a point, barely touching the surface, and thus losing heat slowly; it remains a fascinating glowing ball longer than you might expect. Then either you let it cool on its own, in which case it becomes a nearly perfect gold sphere, which is a wonder in its own right, or bring the other metals up to match it at eutectic point so they can fuse.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

eutetic
:blink:

[hammerquill]

No, Eutectic. The lowest possible temperature at which two given metals fuse. Also, an alloy made so that it melts at a lower temperature than any other ratio of those given metals.

I'm here on the forums in the middle of the day because I was waiting for the plumber.

He just got here and was able to fix the problem quickly because it had happened before.

Now I get to wash the tub... then I get to take a shower, finally.

[stargal1998]

1. I did some stories in a foundry once for the tv station in college (it was part of a class), and I loved talking to the foundry people because they were so cool.

2. Said stories screwed up one of my digital tapes and my lens so bad, I went through 2 cleaning tapes before the thing would work correctly.

3. I lost my palm pilot earlier this year, and I'm dying to find it so I can read e-books and keep in contact with old friends...

4. I found my keys--they were right where nick said they were a little over a month ago, so I had to admit Nick had been RIGHT for once... Darnit...

[freckledcutie]

I'm going to alter some daily planners tonight for Christmas gifts.

I had 94 postcards in the mail today...from some lots I bought, so I didn't like all of them.

I plan to start and finish a scrapbook this weekend...assuming I can find the motivation.


bonus:
I'd rather be working in my art journal all weekend, but oh well...such is life.

[Dalmaney]

1. I understand the term "eutectic point", but have only worked with it in ferrous alloys. Mostly just steel.

2. I just walked 40 minutes home in -15*C. I misjudged the busses and it just seemed easier.

3. I have way too much homework to do this weekend, and I already don't think I'll get it done. I have a six hour leaders retreat tomorrow, am going wall climbing tomorrow night, and get to see my friend Clay on Sunday. It should be fun, if not productive.

[gwensmom]

1. I just checked my e-mail and almost fainted because i had 28 messages.

2. The reason for most of them was that somehow i accidently subscribed to this thread.

3. i am unsubscribed now.

[Sirius]

1. My Santa picture kept mysteriously disappearing only to be replaced by a little red X. So I went to the stable Giraffe. Now I cannot find my posts.

2. I received a very cooly packaged CD for my drive by cds today. Oh.......Brian just fixed my cd player -- I know because music just came on from downstair. Must go tell him I love him.....

3. Going to tell him now....

[Ashley]

2. Today I discovered that I can use my campus card in the Coke machine in the library. Wow! No more fumbling for coins, or worse, gettting my change eaten!

Yeah, isn't campus cash great? I just figured out how to put money on my card and now I'm getting all kinds of food and drink I don't need. It's just so easy..
1. My friend's having a pie party tonight. I think that's rather odd, but I can't wait to eat a whole bunch of different pies. Yum!
2. I think I have to study all weekend, but I could be wrong. I probably won't...
3. I can feel myself getting another f**cking cold. I always have them, why won't they leave me alone? I think I'll go make myself some fresh, ginger tea. That may help.

[Cuilanië]

- It's past 5 am here. I have to go to sleep, even though I don't want to.

- That sounded childish, but it's not. I really don't want to go sleep.

- I'm off to sleep anyway, now - nothing like a bit of willpower. :rolleyes:

Bonus fact - I'm making too many typos, anyway... G'night, everyone! :)

[Meika]

I am already tired of Christmas shopping.

I suck at wrapping gifts. How do those gift wrap gals at Macys get everything so perfect? :blink:

I need to get crackin on my homemade gifts or they will never be done in time.

[Dalmaney]

1. The only Christmas gifts I have so far are for my sister and brother in law in Australia.

2. I love Christmas, but I never have time for it until after finals. This year, I will probably do almost all my shopping in one go on December 18th.

3. We are (jokingly) considering naming our group "Ish", because we have such a huge problem nailing down a definition that might exclude people that should be included.

[mejaka]

Since I already have in my head two random facts that feature my husband, I'm going to go for a round three.

1. Our popcorn popper broke (this has been the Month of Broken or Breaking-Down Appliances--including also the vacuum and the mixer). For this reason, Brett has been making popcorn on the stove. We didn't buy a popper today, so I guess he'll make stove popcorn again tomorrow (Sunday tradition). We had an air popper for health reasons, but I think we'll be getting an oil popper now, having been spoiled by the real thing. And may I just say...bugitha, another weird parallel universe thing for you and me, hey?

2. Brett is not a particularly imaginative guy, but since leaving Guard he's been focused on being more spontaneous. I am totally delighted by this bit of evidence: He has been giving all postage-paid return envelopes from junk mail to three-year-old Anna, who fills them with drawings. He then mails them for her. Today he even let her fill one that required a stamp. It tickles me to think of total strangers in low-paid tedious jobs opening these envelopes and finding her pictures of birds with baby birds pictured in see-through eggs...

3. (Thinking...) The other day I noticed that his beard, which he sometimes lets grow during breaks from work (but always shaves on Sunday morning), is about a third grey. I remember when I could count three grey hairs over his ears...This last year has silvered him up a lot. The thought of us growing old together (which we are clearly on the verge of doing) is just incredibly sweet to me.

[bluecrayon]

1. I received the most beautiful hand made book in the mail today == the person who made this book is extremely talented and wonderful.

2. I am aware that distance and time are working against my heart, but I am glad for having opened certain doors anyway.

3. I have completed 8 lmaos today and am feeling content about it...

[Bugitha]

. When I was in high school, one of the stalls in the bathroom had no door. My math teacher would come in an use THAT stall all the time. AND she would talk to me while she was going potty in full view. After this happened several times, I stopped using that bathroom.



OK, that's just weird that someone would actually use that stall.

I have a recurring dream that I'm in a busy public building that has bathrooms with no doors on the stalls and I there is no other choice but to use them. More of a nightmare really.

1. I have been a sewing demon all day. I've been working on some projects to spruce up my place before thanksgiving guests arrive.

2. I have yet to start my Christmas shopping, write out my Christmas cards, or start to string my popcorn garland for the tree. Yeah, I know its not even Thanksgiving yet but I usually have a jump on these things by now.

[kittymao]

working like a monster trying to get my NaNo done. I'm at almost forty eight thousand ( <--- sign of NaNo, written numbers!) words, and am struggling to get the last two thousand in before I have to leave for work.
I will do it. I WILL.

I am so intent I'm goign to finish this today, I haven't even showered yet. Got up at 8 and just started typing. So I'm confident.

Sorry all of today's facts are on NaNo- I'm almost done and all this week it's the only thing on my mind. What will I do for the rest of my year! Ag!

[Dalmaney]

1. I am, once again, completely unmotivated to work on my calculus. Or anything else. Only eight class days left of this semester. Eight days. Two airphotos labs, one Civil lab, two civil assignments, one or two stats labs, and a few chapters of misc. mathematical scientific mumbo jumbo.

2. The upside of yesterday's mondo-meeting was two free meals and leaving with a bunch of mandarin oranges, a couple of bananas, some good bread, ham, cheese, and tomato slices. Will work for food, that's me.

3. I always find it odd to realize my speech patterns have been influenced by what I'm reading, but everything I read the Otherland series, my slang and structure get totally corrupted by the way some of the characters talk.

[medeous]

1. i've had a lovely weekend
2. i listened to a radio show comparing scottish and irish folk music to traditional appalachian folk music
3. i wore my hat and mittens today.

[starryeyed]

3 things:
1. there is a brown spot in my otherwise blue eyes (left only)
2. i've been listening to the same mix tape for 10 weeks
3. i have never been in an airplane

[medeous]

1. i did not win the lottery
2. i have read The Lottery by shirly jackson
3. my house could use a good burning-to-the-ground...i'm afraid it will never be tidy otherwise.

[Seusomon]

1. I've just arrived home from my trip to Paris, 22 hours travel, door to door.

2. It was a multi-dimensional experience.

3. Yes, I saw Eve Isabelle...

[Seusomon]

1. She looks just like her photos, but she is more beautiful than I could have imagined.

2. She thinks just like she posts, but I didn't imagine her voice would be so gentle and rich with the music of her thoughts.

3. I'm glad I got sent to Paris.

Bonus fact, for those who are not sure how to sum 1+2+3:

4. :wub:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I've been a very good girl and have cut WAY down on smoking. I'm hoping to completely stop by the end of this week :)

2. I have to hang out with me mum tomorrow :( She's insane- and not in a fun way.

3. I've been going through a big bag of toys from my childhood. I have like 30 My Little Ponies! I can't wait to get them cleaned up and play with them again :rolleyes: Hmmm...maybe I should offer a couple of them up for exchange.

[littlest-bee]

|one| I went to 2 birthday celebrations this weekend, the combined age of the two gentlemen is 142! (one was 82 and one was 60)

|two| I went to see Love Actually on Saturday and it was so warm and fuzzy and Christmassy I loved it!

|three| I was accused of being too cheerful by the man at the supermarket today

[stargal1998]

1. I am only at 16,000 words for Nano right now, all because I was sick... da&(*t!

2. I have to finish this, I can do it... I'm a master at getting things done at the last minute (quietly thanks news degree for that).

3. Once I wrote a term paper on the political ramifications of the Falkland Islands war in five hours before the class, and I ended up with a B, so it was worth it.

[Seusomon]

1. I feel much less jet-lagged than I thought I might.

2. It's good to be home

3. The wooden gate at the entrance to my house broke in two while I was gone - there must have been a very strong wind.

[Christine_0701]

1. i slept till 11 yesterday :ph34r:
2. 14 more days :D
3. i have to read 20 pages of poems by 1

[sarahkate]

1. I tried painting Christmas themed ATCs recently for an LMAO I joined. I was very surprised at my painting ability. It's not GREAT - but A LOT better than I expected. I haven't really painted freehand in years, probably since 8th grade!

2. There is a small crawl space/attic above my bedroom that my boyfriend & I have never seen. We have owned the house for I think 3 years now & we still have never taken a ladder & poked our heads up there. The lady who owned the house before us told us she had never looked in either! I am afraid there are dead bodies up there waiting for me :P

3. I really must apply for college, financial aid, and student loans SOON so that I can take classes next semester. I keep procrastinating though. I think it's fear that is stopping me.

[cindi1023]

1. I have not posted anything in the chain games since Thursday (because....)

2. My 12-year old nephew stayed with us this weekend.

3. If I hear one more word about Pokemon, I will have to blow my brains out.

[Cuilanië]

- Yes, I saw Tom this weekend.

- He looks just like his pictures, too, but they don't do justice to his warmth.

- I am amazed by his wisdom and courage...

:wub:

[bluecrayon]

1. giggle

2. sigh

3. tingle!

[Dalmaney]

1. I just found out that they're only expecting around five applications for the international volunteer position I applied for.

2. Now I'm all scared and nervous that they might actually pick me, and then I would have to seriously think about spending four months far away all by myself doing something crazy and wonderful and meaningful. And the fact that now I feel like I'll probably have to do an interview.

3. I am thinking that if they pick me, I will go. I don't know how I'll pay for next year if I make no money all summer... but at the same time, I know it would work out. I'd be more in debt, but so? Someday I'll make a truckload of money, and by "someday", I mean hopefully on my internship in a year and a half.

[Katiekat]

1. it irritates me to no end when people pronounce "wolf" as "woof."

2. i am craving Thai food, sex, and a massage. Not necessarily in that order.

3. i am so excited for AlienSpy and her bitty new AlienFetus! :D

3. I am going to send a bad e-mail to cindi1023

[cindi1023]

3. I am going to send a bad e-mail to cindi1023

1. I have not received said "bad e-mail" from gwensmom.

2. I wish I had worded my previous post "I'll blow the brains out of the next person who mentions Pokemon"

3. I really need to get busy on my nness projects.....

[gwensmom]

1. I sent the bad e-mail but since you didn't get it - here it what it said:

Woo hoo! POKEMON, baby!
http://www.gameonweb.co.uk/education/graphics/unit1/pokemon.jpg

2. You would have to have a big gun to blow my brains out from Georgia because I'm in Memphis.

3. AAaaaaah! INCOMING! **BOOM**

[mejaka]

1. Brett and Anna were sick on Sunday, and had to stay home from church.

2. I'm glad...

3. ...because someone was home to intervene when a roaming German Shepherd found our rabbit hutches.

(Our white buck, Unicorn, named by and belonging to 11-year-old Braden, got a good feel for the inside of a dog's mouth and was very, VERY scared for several hours, but he's not badly injured and he's doing much better today.)

[Bugitha]

because someone was home to intervene when a roaming German Shepherd found our rabbit hutches.



Oh mejaka, that's so scary. We used to raise rabbits and dogs got to them more than once. :( Lucky someone was home to chase them off.

1. One of the saddest days of my life was when I was 11 years old and my friend Sarah went outside to feed our bunnies because I was still getting ready for school, and she came in saying my rabbit Butterscotch's hutch was empty and there was only an ear on the ground.

2. I'm craving chocolate but since I already brushed and flossed I won't have any.

3. I got very good mail today: letters, and gift cards.

[Meika]

I sat down in my office chair and the leg broke off.

Even though I know it's due to lots of chair abuse I still feel like a whale now.

The chair fell over and almost beheaded my kitty! :blink: :o

Bonus fact: I brought a different chair in here but everytime I move a little my kitty spins around and looks at me with a look of absolute terror. Poor kitty. I think I've scarred him for life.

[medeous]

1. i want one of those plastic chairs with the huge inflateable ball seats.
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-11/493661/ergochairswo_model_web.jpg
2. i'm afraid it would pop after i bounced on it a time too many.
3. nevertheless, i still want one.

[Christine_0701]

1. i've never heard of those chairs
2. they sound very cool
3. i finished all my homework :D Now, as far as I know, I have no more homework for the rest of the term

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. I am having dinner with my friends from high school tonight.
2. I am having dinner with my best friend tomorrow night, because she is in town visiting her mom for Thanksgiving.
3. Last night Chris sprung this surprise on me: we have to have his family over for dinner on Saturday night. There goes my peaceful long weekend. :(

[Seusomon]

1. My daughter and I are going to my mom's house for Thanksgiving, leaving tomorrow morning.

2. I passed on "Describe the prettiest woman you've ever seen" on the "Describe It" thread, because there was no way to do it without creating enormous embarrassment.

3. When we get home from Thanksgiving, we'll be taking down my harvest decorations and putting up some Yule decorations.

[emmica]

1. I've got more English written in my French notebook than both Swedish and French together.

2. Even though I suck at math, I often think me + you = wow, or me/3 = confusion.

3. I buy too much manga for my personal economy to hold together.

[cindi1023]

1. We celebrated Thanksgiving with my in-laws this past Sunday. My mother-in-law hates to share our appetites with other families, so the past several years we've celebrated with them the weekend before Thanksgiving...

2. One of my coworkers is always asking me questions that I do not know the answer to. What's worse is they're usually questions that are better posed to someone else in the office. For example, he just asked me a question about whether I knew if our office manager had ordered something, instead of asking her. Why? Why? Why???? How hard is it to walk 20 extra feet to her office??? He does this at least 4 times a day.

3. I have a new desk decoration courtesy of ibitty_boo... a neat little bobble-head art doll. He's definatly helping the atmosphere... I make his head bobble around and I quit stressing over #2! :D

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. I feel worse than the last time I posted here.

2. I am starting to think that going out to dinner with my friends is not going to happen. :(

3. No, gwensmom, I am definitely not pregnant.

[stargal1998]

1. I hope G-W-L-S gets better soon... :-)
2. I, too, am (thankfully) not preggers. Sending all that positive baby energy to AlienSpy I guess really helped.
3. Nothing interesting in the mail today, guess I was spoiled by the ATCs, zines and graphics cd I got yesterday.
4. I have 33 ATCs in my binder at home, 2 are mine that are totally ugly, so If I redo them or even make more I can open up my ATC gallery on my site and make them look all pretty... Yay!

[sarahkate]

1. I hope Heather gets well SOON too! Being sick is the pits :(

2. I am going to make iced pumpkin cookies tomorrow night!

3. I can't wait to eat mashed potatoes & butternut squash with brown sugar on Thursday.

[sarahkate]

1. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! (that's the sound of me squealing with delight!) I just found out one of my most favorite bands (THE USED) will be playing at a small-ish concert venue near me on December 29th. The tickets are only $17!!

2. Now my boyfriend knows what to get me for Xmas! ;)

3. I'm so happy! :D :lol: :P :D


*BONUS*

4. Whenever I go to concerts I feel so old. Is it bad for a 23 year old girl to go to punk, rock, and harcore type concerts? My boyfriend & I usually snicker at the "old people" when we go to concerts...but everytime we go I feel older & older! I feel like 16 year olds are looking at me saying "what's that old dork doing here?!" I guess I'm just paranoid...but that would never stop me from going to see my favorite bands!

[cindi1023]

1. Also sending get-well-soon wishes to G-W-L-S. Maybe my CD's for the Mix CD LMAO will show up today, and track #10 will cause her to laugh away her illness... :D

2. I'm starting to feel a little woozily, myself...

3. I'm worried that I offended someone....

3. After that I will be off work until Monday!

1. I tend to be quite a worry-wart, but I'm much relieved now, thank you! :D

2. I have to work part of the day tomorrow. Our boss usually lets us off several hours early before a holiday. Yippee!

3. Because we already celebrated Thanksgiving with my in-laws, I have pumpkin pie leftovers waiting at home for me. WooHoo! :P

[Cuilanië]

- I had a very busy day at work today.

- I've been away from the forums too long... I had a LOT of catching up to do.

- Somehow, I have a feeling I should be blushing...

Bonus fact - I stayed late after work to post a bit without running into computer restrictions, but it's now 10:30 pm. I have to go. Good night, everyone! :)

1. I can't wait to see my daughter tonight.

2. I'm taking laundry to my mom's house for the first time in over 20 years.

3. I didn't sleep well last night.

[Christine_0701]

1. two more days of classes
2. i feel weird
3. i yawn alot lol

[Katiekat]

1. A boy sent me flowers today!
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-12/72942/SUVJR-flowers.jpg

2. Getting flowers left me speechless.
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-12/72942/ROQRL-flowers3.jpg

3. I can't even come up with a third fact. :blink:

[Christine_0701]

1. awww, that's cute KatieKat
2. i saw a bee today (yes, a bee!!!!)
3. maybe it was a hornet?

[Ishba]

1) bees like to die on me. yes. die on me. I'll be sitting outside and a poor decrepit bee will crawl across the ground and use the last of its strength to alight on my shoulder or knee before it dies. It must be because I wear soft clothing or something :blink:

2) old/sick bees have black and grey stripes instead of black and yellow

3) I hit somebody once, for stepping on a bee :blink:

[Ishba]

1) I think I'm gonna be sad

2) He's got a ticket to ride

3) a week and a half seems like a very long time all of the sudden :(

[gwensmom]

Katiekat, WHICH BOY?

[Sirius]

1. I almost have my Christmas cards done even though I said I wouldn't do them until the day after Thanksgiving.

2. I smell like Chocolate Chip Cookies.

3. Yesterday I smelled like Vanila.

[Christine_0701]

1. I broke up with my boyfriend today
2. I'm not sure how I feel about that...or I feel about it at all
3. almost down to 12 days

[Dalmaney]

1. Tomorrow I am going to mail my mid-breakup friend a cheer package. It has chocolate, tea, play-doh, and a book.

2. The book, One For The Money, is one of my favorite books. It has no literary value, but it makes me laugh.

3. I had a nap this afternoon, and now I'm not tired at all.

[medeous]

1. in response to any movie-related question i may ask of my dear, he replies, "uh, i think that was money train."

2. in spite of this, he's not dead yet.

3. on top my desk there are 2 large knives, 2 bottles of nail polish, 5 gel pens, a chapstick, and official american idol karaoke microphone, 2 photos of my nephew, one of my daughter, an empty coke bottle, a LOTR trading card featuring legolas, and a bottle of aleve. i need never get up again.

[Sirius]

1. I saw the Money Train on a first date. Later, after we became FRIENDS, the date asked if I thought maybe that was our first and last date because of the movie.

2. I often use Eeyore-e in place of eeire because when Brian and I were first dating my Eeyore collection was in my bathroom, he came out one day and asked, "Do you ever get the Eeyore-e feeling somethings watching you?"

3. I still married him.

[Sirius]

1. Flood control is enabled on this board, please wait 30 seconds before replying or posting a new topic This statement could lead to road rage like symptoms.

2. I had a 42 minute conversation about dogs with somone I don't really know today.

3. People I don't know talk to me so frequently that I often ask friends if I have "Tell Me About It" tattooed on my forehead.

[Sirius]

1. No one else seems to be posting at the moment, so I suddenly feel like I am talking to myself (maybe I should start responding to my own posts in the chain games).

2. I'm tired and more than a little slap-happy.

3. I'm SUPPOSED to get my CD player back tomorrow.

[bluecrayon]

I am swerving back to reality after dancing on the phone for hours.

I miss him.

I wonder what I'm doing at least a dozen times a day.

[Sirius]

1. I am currently stalking BlueCrayon following her around in her posts because she is giving me something to respond to.

2. i fear if I stop typing my fingers will permantly stiffen from cold.

3. i also have a silly fear of throwing stuff in the dumpster. my parents always thought it was an excuse not to take out the trash growing up, but I fear someone will be in the dumpster.


Bonus fact: Dumpster is actually a proper name and therefore is supposed to be capitalized.

I did not know that Insipid, you clever thing!

1. Insipid's avatar scares me a little bit.
2. My MP3 player is on random and I think it loves Prince because it tries to play it to me about a million times a day.
3. I'm going for a swim in 9 minutes

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

Enjoy your swim, Rosie-- although, I guess you are already submerged by the time I am writing this.

1. I am feeling 88% better than I did yesterday, but I still didn't go to work.

2. I am sure I am feeling better because so many of you posted that you hoped I would feel better. :wub: Thanks!

3. I ripped out the scarf I am knitting twice and started again, but this third time seems like a charm. *crosses fingers*

1. I disagree Dalmany, its literary value lies in the fact it can make you laugh, which is a good thing. I have all of Janet Evanovich's books (save 2, but I've read both of them), and I want to BE Steph Plum when I grow up, LoL.

2. My boyfriend's aunt and uncle secured some type of permit this week, so instead of eating thansgiving dinner here at work (we'd open up the place for our own soiree), we're going to be eating at their new house.

3. I'd never been to the house at this location, even though nick and I have been dating for over 1 and 1/2 years. It burned down shortly after I started seeing him and the contractors have been stalling ever since...

[Sirius]

1. It's the red eyes, isn't it littlest bee.

2. Glad you are feeling better sharkgirl, sorry i wasn't here to pist a get well.

3. Stop ripping up your scarf. Perfection isn't always the best course of action.

Exactly. Is it a rat or a mouse?

one:

G-w-l-s, I agree with Rustell, stop ripping up the scarf! Mine's 1 metre long now and growing all the time! My tip would be to get really chunky textured wool because it hides a lot of imperfections. But I think those "imperfections" add to the charm, a handmade scarf should look handmade or else you may as well go and buy one! And that defeats the point really doesn't it?!

twoooo:

I had a lovely swim but now I have eyes like Insipid's avatar thanks to the chemicals in the water!

threeeeeeee:

My favourite part of London is Westminster and then along the Thames to the Tate Modern.

[Christine_0701]

1. I'm so flummoxed!!!!
2. my back hurts from being in bed too long :(
3. it's sunny today (or will be when the sun finally gets up ;))

1. I have to agree with Stargal.... I also want to be Steffanie (I could use a little Morelli or Ranger in my life! ;))

2. My shoes are hurting my feet.

3. It's a good thing I listened to my "test burn" CD for Rustell's Holiday mix CD LMAO today -- my CD burner has been really flaky, and 2 of the tracks are all skippy and staticy...

[Sirius]

1. I broke down and turned on the heat.

2. This should be in the firsts thread, but first time I literally forgot to pay a bill. My Discover card bill. I got my statement and it has last months and this months balance together. I called to ask what was up. They said, well we never received your payment. Oh. I researched. I never paid it. Eek. I am supposed to be responsible. It's because I started paying online, so I don't have that physical check to remind me to send it off.

3. It's a rat.

[Sirius]

1. I am uploading all of my Christmas cds to my CPU so I can put my Holiday disk together.

2. Wondering why Christine is confused....is she in some sort of quagmire?

3. I am breaking my self-promise not to spend all day here.

2. my boss just arrived (he wasn't supposed to be here today)... There goes that blood-pressure again....

3. Whew.... I feel a little light-headed! ;)

[Sirius]

1. Does Cindi's boss make her light headed?

2. I'm thinking I'll put up my tree today, all this Christmas music has put me in the mood.

3. Or, maybe I'll work on Parachute's Luau cd and totally change the mood....

[mejaka]

1. I designed a calligraphy snowflake for my Christmas cards. It uses the words "merry" in uncial and "joy" in a modified Italic. It's good work; I'm proud. The plan was to have it made into a rubber stamp.

2. It would look perfect embossed in silver on a dark blue card, except it would cost a lot more and I'm not that keen on blue and silver in general for Christmas.

3. I'll probably just have it copied onto cardstock and then add "Christmas" in uncial with red ink to each card...

1. Yes, but not in a good way! ;) He's really good looking until he opens his mouth. And he delights in making me upset!


2. Most of the time I know he's intentionally pushing my buttons, but I can't help it.... he makes me SO mad!


3. I really need to learn how to let it all go.... maybe a good massage would help... or at the very least, a 4-day weekend!

[Sirius]

1. I have had several people recommend going to one of the local massage schools for a massage. It's $30 for half an hour, which beats the price of Elizabeth Arden's Red Door massage...but most of the massage schools look unsavory.

2. Okay, now I sound like a massage snob.

3. I haven't had a professional massage all year.

[Ashley]

Rustell, you should come to my house. It's so awesome, we have a licensed massous (sp ?) in my house. He gives the best massages. A couple weeks ago he massaged my back for an hour, it was so wonderful. Sorry...
1. I'm bringing 2 friends to my mom's Thanksgiving this year, I've never done that.
2. My mom's boyfriends family is coming to our Thanksgiving, I've never met them. I hope this whole Thanksgiving isn't amazingly uncomfortable with so many people coming that haven't met. Maybe it will be wonderful.
3. I'm so excited, I'm going to go to my best-friends house when I get to my home town later today and we're going to make 5 pies and then have a Survivor party. It'll be great.

[Dalmaney]

1. I wish I had a long weekend... that would be soo sweet. But I don't.
2. Instead of a long weekend, I need to finish writing a 5 page paper. Ugh. I hate writing papers that aren't tech reports. I stopped thinking critically three years ago and I don't plan on starting now.
3. Tomorrow we are doing one of my favorite social events at my c&c group: the dessert extravaganza. We're randomly divided into carloads of people, pool two (or possibly 3) bucks each, buy ingredients, create a dessert, and return to judge them on taste, presentation, and creativity.
3 1/2. I need to think up some frugal but brilliant ideas.

[Sirius]

!. Oregon isn't that far away....

!!. I am cold, huddled in a blanket, eating ice cream.

!!!. I finally have my cd player back!

[gwensmom]

1. We knew there was a world domination plot by evil french monkeys

2. But we did NOT know that there is also an evil sock monkey conspiracy

3. All is revealed: http://www.angelfire.com/mo2/evilsockmonkey (http://)

[Dalmaney]

1. I'm pretty sure that all monkeys are evil (including, but not limited to, French, Indian, and Sock.)
2. Monkeys may be frightened away by the hanging of lifelike rubber snakes in your fruit trees. I think it would work in other places, too, as long as the wind can wiggle them around a bit.
3. I have seen troops (?) of wild monkeys. They're kinda freaky.

[littlest-bee]

1 The Christmas lights are being switched on where I live tonight. I think its too early.

22 I'm getting a pin board next to my desk at work. This is making me unreasonably happy.

333 I sometimes wish I lived right at the top of a really tall tower block, I reckon the views would be excellent.

[Dalmaney]

1) I have an interview on Saturday morning at 8:15 am for Operation 21. This would send me somewhere overseas for four months this summer with Engineers Without Borders.

2) I just took a ninety minute nap... again. I should go somewhere where they are seriously dedicated to the siesta.

3) I discovered today that my uni bookstore sells speedball carving blocks and carving tools. Now I want!!!

[nymphette]

1: the first seven 'last posts' in this thread are by non- americans... everybody is eating turkey, no???

2: i want a sock monkey now... i'll feel safer when the monkeys take over the world because i can pretend i am an ally because i am harboring one of their own!!!! that and harrison LOVES puppets!!! ;)

3: i was too lazy to take the kids across 'town' to get the mail and now i have to wait until chris gets home and i am very impatient!!!

robyn

[cindi1023]

1. In order to make one of my cousins more tolerable this Thanksgiving, we decided to stock up on wine. I had a little too much, and therefore was sort-of drunk in front of my parents for the first time.

2. On the upside, this cousin was more tolerable.

3. It's been more than 7 hours since we ate, and I still feel stuffed....

[Bugitha]

Today was the first time in ten years that I hosted thanksgiving dinner. I'm planning to do it again . . . in another ten years.

I only bought one bottle of wine since few of my guests drink. My sister-in-law-to-be drank the entire bottle before dinner even started.

It was a good day. :)

[BleedingGirl]

+ my friend Robert just told me a secret, a good one, lol..
+ i actually had a thanksgiving that didn't involve babysitting and frozen pizza
+ i haven't updated my diary in a few days and i've been on the internet for 2 hours, those two hours were on Nness, lol

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I'm really bored...I feel kinda low. Not that I care about Thanksgiving...It's just weird not to have done anything special. This is the first time I've had a family and hassle free Thanksgiving. I never though I'd say this, but I kinda miss the hassle and irritation of it all. We did have pie today! That's special...right?

2. For dinner we ate various vegetable side dishes and some strawberry pie from Eat'N Park which we got for free using "smiley bucks." Yes, Eat'N Park's the place for smiles...or something...

3. We're getting a new cat on sunday. We're taking him in for a friend because we really need another cat ;) Well...ok...her landlord won't let her keep him and another kitty won't make much of a difference. I haven't met him yet, but I hear he's very sweet. He's all black and his name is Lobster.

[littlest-bee]

1. Its so quiet in here today, I can hear my keyboard echoing throughout the forums...

2. I am meeting my boyfriend's best friend tonight for the first time. I have been warned that he is scared of girls (he went to an all boys school, has no sisters and when he went to University he aparently only made one friend who was a male!). I have been told to be on my best behaviour and not ask embarassing questions or be too rude or cheeky because he'll blush and stop talking. The meanie girl inside me wants to discuss my period loudly at the dinner table and ask him if he likes my new bra *lifts t-shirt up to demonstrate*!!

(ha! I just flashed in the forums but cos y'all are still eating turkey you missed it!)

3. I am on an eternal search for the perfect black fine liner pen for my journal.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- My family exclaimed about how nice I looked last night, making me think that I must look like crap most of the time.

-2- My uncle did not say a single racist thing last night, at least not while I was in earshot. Hooray!

-3- I am going to Delaware with my mom and my aunt today, because my mom needs a non-frumpy mother-of-the-groom dress and she found a store that may have them.

[Cuilanië]

- I had to take a cold shower this morning. My roommate used up all the hot water. This on a cold November morning. <_<

- I received some ROCKING evil monkeybots from kittymao. THANK YOU!!! :D

- I have to work tomorrow. :(


Bonus fact - I sincerely hope someone answers Sharky's question in Describe It! before Seusomon feels compelled to...


Another bonus - 84% of my posts are in the Quizzes and Questions board. Am I addicted, or what? :lol: :lol: :blink: :lol: :D *wipes a tear of laughter*

[Typo. I think my fingers are starting to practice for three weeks from now, when I am in Montréal and stuck with a QWERTY keyboard... :D ]

[Dalmaney]

1. My friend and source of much internal conflict Jordan is coming to town tonight.
2. I have to wake up early early early to be at school tomorrow by 7:45am, and I probably will have to bike because the bus doesn't run on the weekend.
3. Jordan being in town usually makes for a very very late night, and I won't be doing that because it would be beyond dumb. But it will be hard to walk away from.

[Sirius]

1. I am getting the flood control message AFTER I post with a notice that my post may not have gone through.

2. I visited with my nieces today.

3. The cold weather is making everything dry out.

[Ishba]

01) "It visited with my nieces today." sounds very ominous

02) my 19 year old boyfriend only just got his driving permit today

03) I'll probably be 19 before I bother to get my permit either

[Sirius]

1. I'll correct my post so no one will know what insipid is talking about.

2. I just wrote a bunch of letters from Santa Claus, I am sending them to Fairbanks Alaska where they will postmark them from "The North Pole" and send them back out.

3. I've been saying I'm going to do that for years, and now I finally have. Now let's see if I send my Valentines from the city of Love....

[Christine_0701]

1. I'm 19, and dont' have my drivers license (i have an expired learners, tho)
2. I find that very odd, Rustell...here, you get a letter from teh post office (like, the post office makes them), and it must be done by actual people, though, because it mentions a few things from your letter in teh reply, but they're all basically a form letter
3. it rained and rained and rained and then rained some more today

[glitterfly]

1. I feel fat. I ate way too much over the last 2 days.
2. I went digging thru junk in my garage earlier.
3. I found ever crappy game ever known to man in my garage EXCEPT the one i was looking for.

4. The game i was looking for was "The 7th Guest"

Does anyone have it?!?!

[Christine_0701]

1. I have a Sharon, Lois, and Bram song stuck in my head (You Can't Make a Turtle Come Out)
2. I'm trying a new bookbinding technique, and so far it's working :D
3. I read HP 1 today, and it was great! Onto numero 2 tomorrow (or sunday)

[Sirius]

1. There is a patina of dust covering everything in my bedroom from the construction that Brian is doing.

2. Instead of green rust, many of the old abandoned buildings at Alcatraz are covered with a patina of flowing vines.

3. Patina was the word of the day.

[Sirius]

1. I haven't researched to see what happens to letters the post office receives that are to "Santa" I assume nothing. So, I set up a program where children could drop their letters to Santa off at the community center. I answered them, put the letters in envelopes addressed to them, stamped each individual envelope, then put them all in a big envelope to send to Fairbanks "North Pole Christmas Cancellation." The complete information is on the USPS.com website. Search for North Pole.

2. I had a dream last night that involved maps and swimming.

3. It is already November 29th.

[siafu]

1. i am in billings, montana. who wants a postcard?

2. i will have some lip balm today, or heads will roll. B)

3. it's a pretty small town but i actually dig it. (bonus: the only thing i'm scared of is december/january weather, which threatens to kick my booty.)

[bluecrayon]

1. I spent some time in Billings once. I would love a postcard!

2. I am still in Santa Barbara, but I felt the need to nervous a bit.

3. I went star swimming last night and part of the sky fell across my face.

[Sirius]

1. sPEAKING OF WAYS TO WASTE YOUR LIFE. i THINK i HAVE every receipt I've been given since 1994. I am going through boxes of envelopes (which are carefully labelled "April 1995" "June 2000" and throwing out trashcans full of receipts I'll never need. I want to just throw it all away, but....

2. Receipts for large items like our television, wedding rings, etc. are in there.

3. It is quite a trip down memory lane -- our first trip together, receipts for the places we stayed, the things we saw. But....it also includes, every tank of gas, every trip to Panda Express, every bottle of water bought at Circle K..... pack rat....

[Sirius]

1. I wonder if anyone would have a use for thousands of old receipts for some sort of project?

2. My desk has worked itself (I do not take responsibility) into such a state that I am referring to today as an "Excavation" project.

3. Yes, I let myself get sidetracked by the Receipt Project.

[Dalmaney]

1. In Canada, if you write to Santa, he'll write back. Santa Claus, North Pole, H0H 0H0 Canada. I never did it, but I think my little brother did.

2. I think my interview went well, and I'll hear on Monday whether I get the position or not.

3. I hate my stats prof. Every class I go to is an aneurism waiting to happen. There are only two classes left, and one of them will contain the class evaluation. I have much input to put on that form, and I will be in both of those two painful classes to be sure to get my say.

[Ishba]

01) AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

02) It's SNOWING

03) I REALLY hate snow

[freckledcutie]

1. I'm bummed because I wanted it to snow here, and it didn't.

2. I've been so, so busy for the past week working on a project.

3. I have to have my project finished by 11:59 tomorrow in order to enter it into a contest but my heart is just not into it.

[Cuilanië]

- I worked until nearly five o'clock this afternoon. Not a fun way to spend a Saturday.

- I am listening to Beethoven at the moment.

- I haven't had dinner yet.

I found a scrap of sheet music on the sidewalk today. Wondering what it's from has me thinking again of the search engines of the future, where you'll be able to play a scrap of melody on the music keyboard attached to your computer, and ask GoogleTunes to find that song.

I fell asleep last night with two tapes in the deck, not noticing they were playing, because one has a whole blank side. So, with long gaps, I had a strange set of music playing to me in my sleep - the stereo's plugged into my clockradio. I awoke to the end of one tape this morning and let myself wake up listening to the other (Counting Crows).

Now I'm copying onto that blank side the tape that was originally supposed to be there, but which I've never gotten around to putting there. It's a demo, so it's too short for the side; I'll have to find some more to put there.

[cindi1023]

1. I realized today that I forgot to post something on "Today's Firsts" on Thursday -- It was the first time my hubby and I made it through a Thanksgiving dinner without someone asking "So, when are you two going to have kids?" Could they possibly have gotten the hint after last year, when I responded "The day after Hell freezes over"????


2. I decorated our Christmas Tree #2 yesterday. We have one in our living room, which is on the back of our house & can't be seen from the street, but we also just got tree #2 to put in our Bedroom window, on the front of the house. Yippee!


3. All environmentalists on the board will be happy to know that both tree #1 and tree #2 are artificial (and tree #2 is prelit, so less stress for me! :D).

[AlienSpy]

1. It's snowing in Quebec too! Quite a lot actually...

2. In less than 2 weeks I'll turn 24, but since I learned that I'm pregnant the thought of my birthday hasn't even crossed my mind!

3. The holiday season will be magical next year when my baby will be a few months old!

Julie

[Cuilanië]

Say, Julie, do you think the snow will hold this early? It's been a long time since snow fallen before December stayed on the ground... at least in Montréal.

- I ate slightly undercooked pasta, because I dumped the water before I remembered to check them.

- In exactly 23 days, I will be sitting in a plane just landed at Mirabel International Airport. :D (Plane lands at 22:30. If there's too much snow, all bets are off, though.)

- It's time I looked into registration for a university course I want to take next year. Being a foreigner here still, I have more hurdles to pass.

[Dalmaney]

1. I just slept from two til four for at least the third time this week.
2. Today I made a necklace! I'm mostly proud because it's my very own design, as opposed to the last few I've made which were the same. It's got three bigger black geodesic shiny black beads and two smaller ones in wrapped wire cages, spaced with wrapped wire balls, and then ending in two linked straight pieces on each side. If I remember, I should take it to school and scan it.
3. I still haven't done any stats, and I'm not thinking it's likely for today. I'll do it tomorrow... or something.

[Sirius]

1. I just bonded with Cindi and she doesn't even know it. I beleive last year, I made my eyes real big and said, "You want us to have one of THOSE" as a six year old was kicking someone's shins.

2. Why doesn't everyone understand the "I have to make a bigger mess to clean up a mess" concept?

3. 4 X 4 = 16

[cindi1023]

1. I'm bonding right back with Rustell -- I thought I was the only one who understood the "I have to make a bigger mess to clean up a mess" concept, too!!!! My mother certainly never understood! :D


2. I feel like I am so behind on my nness projects! I've been falling asleep on the sofa every night this week, so I didn't get ANYTHING finished! Now I'm scrambling to get everything with a 12/1 deadline ready to send out first thing Monday morning...


3. I really hate waiting until the last mintue on nness projects (which totally contradicts my procrastination-genes in every other area of my life!)

[Katiekat]

Ooh, Rustell and Cindi, I'm bonding, too. I always end up completely destructing something whilst cleaning. Or i start another project while I'm already mid-project-#1.

1. I am feeling very impatient and bitchy and PMS-y all of a sudden. It's not "that time of the month" or anything, so I'm not sure what my problem is.

2. My new favorite sweater is the limey-green Gap sweater that I got on sale. It's cottony and stretchy and oh-so-comfy.

3. My beauty-ful kitty (the one on my avatar) is stretched out, asleep, across the usable workspace of my desk. She looks so cute and kissable -- she's making me feel much less bitchy.

4. I bought a crazy-big belt buckle on ebay the other day, and even though it was probably originally "country," I think I can pull of a retro, funky, weird look that is all me. I dig it.

5. I want more belt buckles.

6. Pizza is coming over to be my dinner.

[BleedingGirl]

+1+ I just had an interesting convo on webcam with Robert & his friend Jesy. I told Jesy he looked like his brother and he quit talking to me, lol...me and my sister look alike. Kinda. I'm a big girl, and she's skinny. Ya know the deal.

+2+ I want to dye my hair black. I'm thinking about it. Even though my skin is almost white. But I think that will look cool.

+3+ I am getting into the hang of LMAO on the member page. Now I just need a job so I can get postage for more!

[Cuilanië]

- It's a three-way bonding, then. I have to spread everything out and SEE it all before I can organize it. Mess --> Huge mess --> Tidyness. Simple! :D

- I'm having chocolate and cognac for dessert. Yes, at 1:30 in the morning.

- :D

[cindi1023]

1. Katiekat's post made me smile.... because Chinese food is coming over to be my dinner!


2. I've been more productive on nness stuff today than I have in a long time...


3. My desk is a complete disaster. I just can't make myself clean it up yet!

[Sirius]

So many things to quote....

1. 1. I am feeling very impatient and bitchy I read this as "1. I am feeling very important and bitchy" Interesting concept, then I reread.

2. Mess --> Huge mess --> Tidyness. Exactly. You can't just clean off the desk. You have to takeeverything off the desk, out of the draws, pull everything that has fallen behind the desk, pull everything pinned to the bulletion board, put it all on the floor, sort and clean out and make a to do list and then put it all back nicely.

3. Or i start another project while I'm already mid-project-#1. and then a third project in the middle of project one and two. projects beget projects.

[Bugitha]

1. I stopped into the craft store today to buy a bucks worth of eyelets and overheard the cashier saying that everything in the store was 25% off this weekend. So I walked out with the xyron machine I've been wanting for over a year.

2. I would not have bought the xyron had I not received my long lost inheritence check last week.

3. I'm trying not to go too crazy with the money until I know if I will be hired on as a permanent employee at the company I temp at after the holidays.

[gwensmom]

OOoooo Bugitha, a xyron machine! What fun!

1. Nimenriel got the purse I made her for yardenxanthe's "make a purse" lmao and liked it! Whew - I was a little nervous about whether she would or not.

2. Gwen and I finished her pages in two decos for the Kids Deco Round Robin. The themes were "Guinea Pigs" and "Zorro" and they were made by Mermaid's kids. It took me forever to decide what to do, but they turned out kind of cute.

3. I got my copy of Helquin's last zine today and am very sad that he is gone. :(

[cindi1023]

1. I love my xyron create a sticker machine!!!! I've asked my hubby for the big version for Christmas.

2. I feel very lazy today. Not good since I have four-hundred-thousand things I need to get done today.

3. Fact #2 is not at all exaggerated!

[littlest-bee]

I was in a fabulous mood but I've been spending time with someone who's grumpy and its rubbed off on me.

I started my Christmas shopping today.

I ate a chocolate brownie for my breakfast today!

[Sirius]

1. Unlike Cindi I only have 398, 277 things to do today.

2. I do not have a Xyrom machine, although everyone I know who does thinks they are the best things ever.

3. Why do bad moods seem to be the dominant over good moods. It's much easier for a bad mood to rub off than a good.

[cindi1023]

1. I ate a fortune cookie for breakfast this morning.

2. My fortune read "Love is around the corner."

3. Got me wondering, since my hubby was sitting on the sofa next to me when I read it... :blink:

[cindi1023]

1. I just walked into my kitchen to find a double-decker example of feline laziness.... One kitty was asleep on top of my breakfast-room table, and another is asleep in the chair directly below her.

2. When I ran to get my camera to document this phenomonen, the table-top napper awoke and ran off.

3. I've really got to find a quieter camera!

[kittymao]

stellabella rocks my socks. Not only has she become an awesome chick for hosting an LMAO that turned my art into buttons, my BF dug it too! He took four of the twenty five! He took some good ones, but he's my BF, and I'm hoping some day I'll see them.

I finished my NaNoWriMo last Tuesday. I didn't finihs it that sunday. gaak. But I did it!

Utah is weird. Coming from CA, them folks stare lots and are way too nice. My BF and I only spent 15 minutes in teh mall, we were just TOO weirded out.

[medeous]

1. discontent is oozing through my veins like a treacle

2. i need more sunlight

3. i have no enthusiasm for my job this time of year

[Cuilanië]

- (((medeous)))

- I've decided today is a day for wearing "Angel" and heels :D

- I'll be 28 in a month

[Seusomon]

1. I'm not sleeping well

2. I'm not dealing with losing my lover as well as I hoped

3. I'm tired

[Cuilanië]

- I might be seeing a lawyer this evening.

[Christine_0701]

1. i was sleeping better but now i'm not
2. i woke up this morning with my neck as a crik (as opposed to a crik in the neck lol)
3. i'm going to go see about getting myhair cut today...for free :D

[stargal1998]

1. Nick came home with a 99 Ford Ranger extended cab this weekend. He told me he traded in the station wagon because he needed 4 wheel drive... I know he got a truck because it's the 'cool thing' to drive... :rolleyes:

2. I finished NanoWriMo yesterday, having written about 31,000 words (yes, when I put my mind to it I can do anything) in about 15 hours. I never want to write again.

3. I called my Papa in CA this weekend, and he said not to get them anything for Xmas, that I should save my money when I come out at easter..

[Dalmaney]

1. I have not yet heard back from my interview on Saturday and am compulsively checking my email.
2. I am skipping my stats class and math lab. Perhaps a stupid thing to do so close to the end of semester, but going to stats makes me homicidal. I come out SO angry and tense. I'm too happy today to put myself through that.
3. I am in the process of designing appropriate packaging for my superhero mix cd. I want to have the Superman logo with "Supermix" beneath in the 3-D Superman style. I think it could be pretty hot if I pull if off right. Hopefully I can use it as a couple of Christmas gifts.

[freckledcutie]

1. this thread has reminded me that I haven't had a lover in over 4 years

2. I've been too busy being a single mom of a teenager to think about it for awhile

3. I decided last week that I was ready to meet someone and fall in love again

bonus
4. I've been divorced for 12 years

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- Chris ignored me all weekend in favor of his stupid broken computer. :(

-2- I cleaned out the end-table where I have shoved all kinds of things since joining nervousness, and recycled an entire grocery bag full of mail. (Not art or anything-- mostly envelopes that couldn't be reused.)

-3- I was really anxious and upset about returning to work after being sick and then having a 4-day weekend, but it hasn't been too bad.

[cindi1023]

-1- Chris ignored me all weekend in favor of his stupid broken computer.


1. I can totally relate to you.... my hubby spent the majority of the weekend fussing with his computer instead of helping me clean & decorate the house.

2. I just found out that I have 2 unscheduled vacation days left this year, instead of just one.... woohoo! :D

3. I'm afraid I'm getting sick.... I woke up with a sore throat this morning, and it's not getting any better...

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- Cindi, if you didn't live two-days-by-post away from me, I would mail you a packet of Emergen-C to take, pronto! Don't get sick!

-2- I want a cheeseburger.

-3- Something was wrong with the water at work, and I didn't find out until I made a pot of coffee and drank 2 cups. :blink:

[Seusomon]

1. I find I'm thinking about the top of Cuilanië's back.

2. My daughter is trying out for drill team at school today.

3. I'm making pizza for dinner.

[AlienSpy]

1. I just realized that this is my favorite thread.

2. I'm eating fondue tonight, yum!

3. Today my mom turns 57!

Julie

[Sirius]

1. I haven't wanted a cheesburger in the long time. The last time I did was 8 months after I stopped eating red meat. Clearly long enough for my body to adapt to not having red meat becuase -- whew...did I get sick.

2. Brian refers to himself as a computer widow because i spend too much time here.

3. Still, none of you have visited me.

[cindi1023]

1. As I chain-game tonight, I'm listening to the Holiday music CD I got from Rustell today... yippee! :D

2. The above-stated CD came with the first Christmas card I've received this year... (and the funniest I've ever seen! ;))

3. I'm taking Wednesday off work to go Christmas shopping.... just hope I'm not too sick by then! :rolleyes:

[medeous]

1. i bought a soda and a bag of cheetos to see me through the faculty meeting this afternoon. :D

2. my dear friend and colleague sat down, ate the whole bag of cheetos and drank half the soda, then gave me a dollar in small change and said thanks. <_< :

3. i hadn't bought it for her, but i think she really needed it. :huh:

[atomic_cocktail]

I am back from a long chain game vacation!!!

I failed at NaNoWriMo... but 41,000+ words isn't a failure to me

I am actually working on a Nness project tonight!!

[bluecrayon]

1. I daydreamed through my life today and nobody noticed.

2. I wrote a new story today, nobody noticed that either.

3. I think he and I really had a disagreement today and I AM noticing that over the miles and the telephone wire curled around my finger... sigh.

[Seusomon]

1. I noticed both.

2. My beautiful daughter is asleep in the next room.

3. I think it is time for me to start writing.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. The new kitty hates everybody. He continuously growls; even at inanimate objects :P I hate watching cats "adjust"

2. While I know It's entirely normal, it still makes me sad every time my Ziggy tries to be friendly and get swatted and hissed at.

3. I want a ciggy. I hate to admit it...but it's getting hard tonight....I really want one. But I'm tough! I just need to keep my fingers, mouth, and mind busy.

[littlest-bee]

~ I feel totally out of the loop ~

~ Over the last few days I've realised that I'm not what I thought I was ~

~ I'm trying hard not to care about facts one and two ~

[Cuilanië]

- I'm seeing a lawyer tonight.

- I have very mixed feelings about this.

- I wish I could go home to prepare for it.

Oh, that is very cryptic. I am curious, Rosie, if you feel like sharing!

[cindi1023]

1. That flood-control message makes me feel VERY postal....


2. Today, I feel that the best invention ever is Kleenex with Lotion.


3. Not only am I in full-blown snot-faucet mode today, I'm also feeling quite pissy...

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I like Cindi very much, and I am sad that she is sick.

-2- Another person I love, totally, is pantiesontherod.

-3- Okay, it's true, you found me out: I am deeply in love with all of you. In a friendly way, of course.

[cindi1023]

1. AWWWWW! I'm feeling much less pissy now! :D


2. However the cold is gripping on harder. I'm finding myself, on the phone at work, having bizarre conversations.... You know when you're in that I'm-fine-How-'bout-you portion of a conversation? I'm answering questions that aren't being asked and saying things like "you, too" when they didn't say have a good day or anything.... I think I'm delirious....


3. Sharky's question about curiosity on Questions, Questions has me thinking about lost love. I'll blame it on the above-mentioned deliriousness.... ;)

[freckledcutie]

1. I'm miserable...it's 30 degrees where I live and there is no heat in my classroom (which used to be part of a gym so the floors are concrete and the ceiling is tall) and I'm freezing.

2. My students are miserable, too

3. I went to a meeting this AM and I came back and the kids are out of control...I'm working on getting them back in gear right now...they have been so rude to my assistant and it makes me want to scream

[stargal1998]

1. I am working until 7 tonight, and will probably do the same for the next two days.

2. We're having the company Xmas party on saturday, and I really don't want to go. I really want to sleep.

3. I've been really lazy ever since nanowrimo, and I hate to use it as an excuse, but I am seriously dead exhausted.

[Seusomon]

1. Fear of loss and rejection made me say hurtful things.

2. I apologized, and let it go.

3. I slept much better last night.

[atomic_cocktail]

1 I am behind on Nness projects

2. I am feeling guilty about number one

3. I watched tv all last night despite my guilt

3. I've been really lazy ever since nanowrimo, and I hate to use it as an excuse, but I am seriously dead exhausted.

the reason I had a tv marathon last night... ahhhh it feels so nice not to think

[nymphette]

1: i should be getting lunch for julian right now.... but he helped himself to a yogurt so i think he'll be fone for a few more minutes...

2: this is the most chain game time i have had in a long while....

3: i have a dance recital to go to tonight- my ten year old niece's first!!!

4: i am making a stamp of their name for each of my nieces and nephews for christmas!!! (jonesing for more erasers now... why do i try new things????? :huh: )

robyn

[Katiekat]

1. I came very close to shagging a very yummy man last night, but I managed to exercise a little bit of self control and called it an evening.

2. I have been thinking of yummy man all damn day and a very large part of me wishes I hadn't exercised that self control.

3. I will see yummy man again tonight, and lord help me...

4. Yummy man kisses sooooo good.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

KatieKat, quit making me hungry. :lol:

[stargal1998]

1. A group of kittens and their momma were found under a dock plate in the factory where I work. If they lift the dock plate, they'll be crushed.

2. I've been feeding their momma off and on for many weeks, in our back yard.

3. I've got one of the kittens in my cubicle right now. I will take it home and give it to my dad for xmas if there are any probs with my dog and kitty @ home...

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

Ohhhh! I wish I had a kitty in my cubicle.
They won't move the dock plate until the cats leave, right?
What's a dock plate?

[stargal1998]

1. I do not think they will move the dock plate with the cats under it.
2. I think the dock plate is one of those metal plates on a dock... but I cannot be sure, as I am not a very dock-inclined person.
3. I took the cat home and locked it safely in the bathroom. But not before it went psycho...

[bluecrayon]

1. I am thinking of time bending around me and bringing me to him.

2. T.S. Eliot still rocks my socks with talk of April and cruelty.

3. I have dreams of conquest oF small things that tingle my nights.

[medeous]

1. i messed with my alarm last night and accidentally woke myself up 2 hours early this morning.

2. when i discovered that i was up early, i reset my alarm and went back to sleep.

3. the next time i woke up, i found that i had screwed it up again and was still up an hour early.

bonus: i decided to just stay up rather than risk getting it wrong again...i'm usually not so challenged by everday life.

[littlest-bee]

(one) Today's extravagance: I forgot to take my shorts to the gym today but I couldn't face the walk home to get them so I popped into the 24 hour supermarket (it was 6.30am!) and bought some new jogging bottoms to wear instead

(two) Today's dizziness: its taken all morning, countless phonecalls and emails and long conversations with a colleague to organise paying for something at work. I HATE money.

(three) Today's lunch: bagel with cream cheese and a satsuma!

[Sirius]

uno: When the alarm went off this morning, I was suddenly AWAKE. I am a three snooze type of girl. Unfortunately, this happens on my day off.

dos: I have a bunch of errands to run today, but do not want to go out in the midst of holiday shoppers. They frighten me, and I have little patience for people who stop their carts mid aisle. I frequently want to "acidentally" run my cart right into them. I have yet to be so mean, but my "Excuse me" is becoming less friendly.

tres: I do not know Spanish.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- On Wednesdays, we get treats (baked goods, donuts) at work. There is a schedule, and everyone has a turn every three months. Steve was supposed to bring the treats today. But he's out sick. I swear, there's always some problem on Steve's day. Usually he just forgets. I think we should take him off the list. He's not even in our department!

-2- I have half a mind. Full stop. But, also, I have half a mind to get me a cafe mocha from the stand in the library lobby.

-3- Just ten shopping days until my thirtieth bday. :) I hope Chris remembers this.

[cindi1023]

1. I took today off of work to go shopping, but I just can't make myself want to go...

2. Even when I do go, I have no plan-for-attack, so I don't have a clue where I need to go.

3. I don't even have a shopping list ready.... Can you tell how de-motivated I am? :blink:

[Cuilanië]

- I think Cindi should just enjoy her day off... ;)

- My hair is starting to seriously curl, and I'm getting annoyed.

- Despite this, I won't get a haircut this week.

[Dalmaney]

1. Today is my last day of classes! Yay!
2. To celebrate, tonight I'm going out to a benefit concert. The uneducated kids of the Phillipines NEED me to go and have some fun.
3. Starting tomorrow, I am a motivated person who will work properly on her studying. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...

[sarahkate]

1. Last night I woke up at 3:30 AM to hear my doggy wimpering and then I realized that an alarm somewhere in the house was beeping every few minutes. So I went downstairs to investigate - thought it was the smoke alarm battery so I took that out & went back upstairs. I got up there & I heard the beeping AGAIN! So Cory & I went back downstairs & realized it was the batteries in the carbon monoxide detector - so he replaced those but we were a bit worried that it was actually detecting carbon monoxide & not just the batteries dying - so Cory stayed up and watched a movie because he wanted to be sure everything was "safe." It took me over an hour to fall back to sleep. Ugh.

2. I'm going to a concert tonight.....for free! Yay! Cory's 25th birthday was on Thanksgiving day and his little sister gave him 2 tickets to see Hoobastank. I love seeing live bands...especially for free :D

3. I have another 4 day weekend this week. I decided to use up the last of my vacation days for the year this week, so I have tomorrow & Friday off. I might not be on N'ness for the next few days - but if I'm not busy I will pop in when I get the chance. I think I will be spending my days off making Christmas presents, car shopping (Cory is looking for a new car), cleaning my messy house, catching up on Nervousness stuff, etc.

****
4. I will miss you guys while I'm gone for 2 - 4 whole days!! :wub:

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I always call the band Sarah is seeing tonight "Hobo-stank," which I think is much funnier. I don't dig their music, incidentally, but I hope you and Cory have fun, Sarah!

-2- I am going to stuff myself ridiculously full of sushi on my birthday.

-3- I have a fan! My friend Phil, who edited the magazine where my poem from Best American Poetry originally appeared, got an email from some random person who wanted more information about me and my poetry. :lol: I am tickled.

[freckledcutie]

1. I consider myself cultured, but I've never tried sushi and I really want to

2. I have had the opportunity to try sushi and haven't...even though I wanted to...hmm

3. I have been at a restaurant in Europe and had a steaming cow's skull delivered to the table and eaten parts of that so I'm not sure why I can't bring myself to try sushi

4. I would never do # 3 again, but sometimes, you just have to do certain things in certain situations so as not to offend someone

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- The first time I wanted sushi, I was 14 and on a family vacation to Hawaii. My parents wouldn't let me try it.

-2- I am feeling very unwelcoming towards a certain someone who doesn't seem to have a clue.

-3- I went to the candy machine and got TWO bags of peanut M&Ms for my 55 cents. Imagine that! I guess vending machines owe me-- I am always getting ripped off.

[nymphette]

1: i am getting alot of n'ness stuff done today!!! hurrah for motivation!!!

2: i dont' know if i have money for postage to send EVERYTHING i have done out...

3: "2- I am feeling very
