Three random facts:

[Dalmaney]

1. I found out last night I am not going to Africa for the summer.
2. The guy they are sending is, honestly, probably a better choice than me, so I am not feeling that bad about it.
3. I am now back to my backup plan of going back to geek camp for the summer. I hate thinking about summer jobs at Christmas.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. Rustell! I, too, had green shag carpeting in my house, from ages 1-4. (1974-1978). My brother, who is two years younger, only remembers the carpet, not the rest of the house, and he calls it "the green house." (But it was brick.)

2. Bugitha! My poem is in B.A.P. 2003, so you should be able to find it in any bookstore for your reading pleasure. And it's really short, so it won't take long to digest it.

3. katiekat! I am so glad you had fun with yummy man. ;)

1. I'm slowly being driven crazy

2. I have a particular student that makes me want to scream

3. She has no impulse control and requires my constant supervision

bonus

4. she should hate me because I always "get onto" her and get frustrated with her, but she still sends me "I love you" letters everyday
Aw. You're probably the only person who pays attention to her.
That's sad, Kelly!

[Seusomon]

1. It's lunchtime and I have no desire to eat

2. I have no desire to do anything, really

3. I have a church committee meeting tonight; I wish I didn't

[Katiekat]

1. Seusomon: Was I terribly out of the loop? I didn't know you were in the midst of a breakup... I'm sorry for any ickiness -- and I so understand the need for physical niceness. I was there, and since i am such a tactile, huggy person, that was really the worst part of my break up for me. I wish you well, and take care of yourself. If I can help with anything (i'm a heck of a good listener), just let me know.

2. Yesterday, my parents and I were in the car, and we were stopped at a red light. A woman on a bicycle rode past and stopped alongside our lane, about a car ahead. She was wearing high heels, hose, and a very short skirt -- which we all found perplexing as it was like 35 degrees and windy out, and she was on a major street at a very busy intersection. Traffic started moving again, and as we passed her, my mom and I glanced over at her the same time that she glanced over at us. Our eyes bugged out and we burst into giggles -- SHE was really a HE, and HE was badly in need of a shave! The 5 o'clock shadow did not match her look very well, and the whole thing was so surreal -- a fabulous interruption to a grey, boring day.

3. Rustell: I like random thoughts, so go ahead and share yours anytime you want to. And yes, I smell a little bit like cookies. And now, so does Littlest-Bee!

Thank you so much, KatieKat.

[Christine_0701]

1. My printer died mid-print job
2. I was printing out my portfolio...the equivalent of a final exam
3. I can't find my print card, so now i have to pay 3 bucks for one, AGAIN

[Katiekat]

Thank you so much, KatieKat.
You're welcome, Tom. I'm sorry that cyberhugs don't feel quite the same as the real things, but here's some for you anyway: {{{tom}}} Feel better soon.


1. Most of my muscles are sore.

2. I have drank (have drunk? have drunken?) a whole lot of orange juice today.

3. I miss being in a relationship. Being single and doing as you please is kinda fun, but I'd much rather be attached.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- The sucky winter weather begins tonight in Baltimore and I am not happy about it. It's going to be "wintry mix" which sounds way prettier than what it actually is: snow, freezing rain, and sleet, all at once. Blech.

-2- One year ago tomorrow, we had our first "snow day" of the year and they closed campus. Will history repeat itself? That would be nicer than having to drive in it, I guess.

-3- The birthday countdown continues: I am 29 for only 8 more days and some change!

[Dalmaney]

1. I have not had a snow day since starting Uni. It would take an extreme amount of snow to make that happen (I would guess at least eight inches overnight with alot of wind to drift it) and it's been a dry few winters around here.

2. I have thirty more pages of notes to review to meet my goal of studying the latter half of the theory for my Material Science final. That leaves just the first half, and all of the calculation problems. Oi. This final is a doozie; good thing I almost like this stuff.

3. I need to go to the grocery store, but I don't want to leave my house.

[Cuilanië]

Three random facts for Tom:

- (((((Tom)))))

- :wub:

- My thoughts are with you -_-

[Seusomon]

Eve is back! :)

1. A good night's sleep may help a lot.

2. I have classes to lead at church this weekend.

3. I need to meditate.

[Cuilanië]

:)

- I have had a hectic day of work.

- I worked until 10:30 pm (not kidding) on a presentation.

- This would not have happened if my boss had given me the file, say, two days ago when she made the appointment... <_<

Bonus - I'm still in my office, and should be heading home now. Good night everyone!

[bluecrayon]

I have been here dancing around Tom for hours now, feeling he needed some company (I think I needed company, too.)




I am feeling tree branches touching against my fantasy of infatuation guy -- at any minute they might scratch my surface and he will cease to exist in the light...

I love him, but I don't know what that means exactly...

I am tired and hitting all kinds of emotional walls...



(nothing like nervousness therapy! )

[Seusomon]

bon nuit, ma amie

[cindi1023]

1. I said some things today that needed to be said, but may potentialy lead to the end of a friendship.

2. I'm feeling very blue.

3. I wish my hubby would get home.... I need a hug.

[Seusomon]

1. {{{{Cindi}}}}

2. {{{{Bluecrayon}}}}

3. {{{{Cuilanië}}}}

[medeous]

ahem. <looks pitiful> :(

[Sirius]

1. I think the holiday blues are going around. Every time my dad calls he sounds miserable. He mentioned not liking that he doesn't have a someone to share Christmas with.

2. Sending happy thoughts to everyone. Scrunching forehead with concentration to make sure happy thoughts travel around the world. They should reach NeeNee first, I think he is closest.

3. Um, I bought Copper Sharpies today, so I am happy.

[Seusomon]

{{{{medeous}}}}

:)

overcoming sock puppet fear :huh:

[cindi1023]

1. My hubby came home with hugs -- and more cold medicine!

2. Day 4 of Cindi's Collosal Cold-from-hell has added a new symptom -- Fever. Yesterday it gave me a beautiful hacking cough. This is on top of the runny nose & sore throat from the previous 2 days. What's in store for tomorrow? My guess -- an overdue trip to the doctor's office.

3. The right half of my right index finger has been numb for over 3 hours now. I don't know if I should be concerned or not....


(Whew! I'm just a barrell of sunshine today, huh? :rolleyes: )

[bluecrayon]

[Sirius]

1. :D :D :D


2. :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:


3. Now, if that doesn't cheer you up, how about.... :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

[freckledcutie]

1. I feel bad to admit that I'm very happy right now...I'm happy most of the time

2. I'm drinking vanilla coffee with vanilla cream and marshmellows

3. I'm trying to lose weight and I just blew it...again...and again...haha

[Seusomon]

my, what pointy elbows you have!

kinda sexy, though ;)

[medeous]

i wasn't really sad, i just wanted to grope neeneenomper :lol:

[medeous]

1. my pup has a purple stuffed squeaky teddy bear
2. my pup was an egyptian priest in another life
3. my pup has chewed her teddy's nose off and pulled all of the stuffing out of his head, through the nasal cavity.

[Sirius]

1. On Thanksgiving I went to the home next to my in-laws and visited with about 30 cats, atleast 14 kittens, one who climbs up and sits on your shoulder.

2. The fact the medeous used the name Neeneenomper warmed the cockles of my heart.

3. That was my first time using the phrase "warmed the cockles of my heart."

[Seusomon]

1. I fear the "Neeneenomper" thing may never die down.

2. It's late, and the forums are lonely.

3. In France, a new day is dawning on Eve. I wish I were the Sun.

[Sirius]

1. If it would cheer Seusomon up, I'd stop calling him NeeNee.

2. Calling him NeeNee makes me happy, so if stopping isn't going to make him happy, then it is bringing more positive into the world by continuing.

3. NeeNee needs a box of chocolates.

[Christine_0701]

1. I am curious as to what the Neeneenomper is all about
2. I fixeded my printer :D
3. It's 9:30 and i'm starving

[bluecrayon]

If anyone could cheer me up I would love it.

I would also like to cheer up Tom

I am very fond of loopy discourse and crazy ATCs

[Sirius]

1. NeeNee mentioned Top Five Nicknames he has been called. That's my most direct clue as to where you can find information on the NeeNee thing. Who came up with it and why they called him that I do not know. I like it though.

2. Someone else I know does not like to be called Snuffleupagus, which I think is a fine and complimentary nickname.

3. Why the h*#% aren't my "good cheer" vibes getting to the love sick? I sent them out hours ago. I'm going to file a complaint.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. It's a Snow Day, all right. <_< No work for Heather.

2. Now I can spend all day working on LMAOs and knitting!

3. I despise snow with all of my being. Especially when it's covered with freezing rain.

[stargal1998]

1. Since it is snowing so bad, my parent's will most likely not be coming up to my function at work, which means they will most likely not be picking up the kitten unless we bring it down to them.

2. I'm thinking of drafting a contract, full of dos and don'ts so I know this kitten will be taken care of: No being outside, must get shots, no loud noises/ yelling at it, carrying it very carefully, etc...

3. The kitten purrs whenever I walk into the bathroom (we're keeping it there for the time being) and runs over to me if we are in another room.

And now, for the obvious:
4. I feel like I am falling in love with this kitten, and we really can't afford another cat.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. Jaime wants everybody to be happy too....she sends lots of good vibes and (((((hugs))))) and typeseverythingtogetherwithnospacesandgetsupanddancesabit

2. The new kitty, Lobster, has finally made a friend. He and Ziggy have been running up and down the hallway (up and down...thudthudthud) now if he would only stop hissing at the other 3 kitty-kitties.

3. Today I have to help my friends decorate and prepare for one of my best friend's bridal shower tea party. I'm nervous!!! I have NO self esteem. I haven't seen any of them in over a month. I've been hiding in my house, sick, taking steroids, quitting smoking, and getting chubby becaue of all the reasons above. They all smoke too...It's going to be really hard :( Not to mention that I'm a big cranky head. I'm irritable as all hell when I crave a ciggy!

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- Sending Jaime good vibes so she can get through her friend's bridal shower/tea party without smoking OR chomping someone's head off!

-2- I generally wait until every single item of clothing is dirty before I do any laundry. That day is today.

-3- My cat isn't allowed in our bedroom, but sometimes when Chris is at work and I am at home and still sleepy, I let her get into bed with me. She loves it, and purrs madly. :wub:

[gwensmom]

1. This bit of dancing has cheered me up even though I didn't really need cheering up today because Gwen woke up happy, smiling and vocalizing loudly.

2. These lovesick people need some mail.

3. A church lady is bringing me a casserole tonight! She is a good cook too. Dana Carvey gave church ladies a bad reputation, but I <3 them.

[cindi1023]

1. I must have gotten the good vibes from Rustell, because today is much better than yesterday.

2. The feeling finally came back into my finger, so no need to worry about that either... ;)

3. Like Heather, I don't do laundry until there's nothing left to wear... my day will be tomorrow.

[Sirius]

1. I used to do that laundry thing back in the laundrymat days. Then I'd go use 9 double load washers. Then I'd buy new clothes instead of doing laundry. Now I just periodically throw a load in and never have the big "ordeal" of laundry.

2. Sending out a second wave of good vibes incase some of the first ones were intercepted.

3. Must get ready for work.

[Katiekat]

1. I am so hungry for lunch!! And it doesn't help that all the foody smells from the lounge filter down directly into our office. *tummy rumbles*

2. I am slightly confused/aggravated. (This might not make sense to all of you, but there might be a few people who follow it) I shagged Yummy Man. My Crush and Yummy Man are friends, which now means Crush almost definitively knows about the shagging. What he does not know is that I still like him better than Yummy Man, and would, if given the chance, prefer to date Crush. But now I'm worried that since I was with Yummy Man, Crush will see me as forever off limits.
interpersonal relationships are so damn complicated! and i don't do well with that.

3. I was trying really hard to come up with something non-lunch-related, but food is all i can think about. I am craving really good chinese. Unfortunately, such does not exist in Wyandotte County. 9 minutes and counting 'til lunch....

[atomic_cocktail]

1. Today is going much too slowly.... argh I want to go home already

2. I'm starving and there is no food at my house when I do get home... pb&j for dinner bleh

3. I am almost caught up on my Nness stuff... and maybe after christmas I could actually sign up for something new *gasp* I havn't signed up for anything in like a month!

[stargal1998]

1. I am depressed because of my craziness (http://nervousness.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7070&st=0&#entry112280) post in member matters.

2. I am also conflicted about my feelings about 1, because well, I really don't want to talk about it.

3. We're keeping the kitten and my parents got another kitten. Now, I have to name my kitten.

[Christine_0701]

1. my alarm didn't go off this morning, and i was almost late for my final
2. i am never takign another course by the teacher of said final
3. the stupid ferries may be going on strike, so i'm going to have to sit around in the greyhound bus depot for 7 hours until i leave!!! kelly....wanna come visit me at the bus depot? :P

*note...i don't really think they're stupid*

1. from this clue and a mention of the peanut some million posts earlier, i have deduced that katiekat is from KC.

2. i could've checked her address i suppose and not bothered with sleuthing.

3. aha, i'm right, ME = SPY.

4. i immediately started to try figuring out who her yummy and crushy guys were, till i had a sudden attack of reality: i only know two people in KC, one's not a guy and the guy is not available for yummy, crushy shagging.

to paraphrase: katiekat = kc, me = spy. B)

[Dalmaney]

1. My brain has deserted me. It doesn't like me pushing all this crazy knowledge into it.
2. The most frustrating part of spending a whole day doing calculus is the knowledge that in six months, there will not be a shred of it left.
3. I want someone to come and distract me from my obligations.

[Christine_0701]

1. i just realized i'll be in the bus depot for 10.5 hours. yippee!!! not
2. paganfrog suggested doing nervous-themed found art while i'm there, so i'll do that :D
3. i don't know what else i'll do

[medeous]

1. i called the phone company to get rid of three way calling, call forwarding and call waiting, none of which i've used, none of which i even know how to use.

2. the wiley customer servive rep not only talked me out of stopping those services, she got me to agree to a cell phone contract.

3. my screen name should've been "easy mark"

[Curlita]

1. Christine, this sounds like a situation for a really good book. Let me know if you want some recommendations (The Girl With the Pearl Earring occupied me for a 4 hour train ride).

2. My fat polydactyl tabby Frieda is on my lap, trying to rest her head on my typing hand.

3. There are Christmas cookies downstairs calling my name...

[Meika]

Despite strenuous addressing, my Christmas card list doesn't seem to be getting any smaller. :(

I still have more shopping to do. :huh:

I haven't had dinner yet or lunch for that matter.

[hammerquill]

1. I love well-fitting gloves.

2. My dinner tonight is primarily composed of curry bread and wine.

3. I think we should call medeous "Mark" (for short) from now on.

[Meika]

I stumbled across THIS (http://www.northpole.com/Kitchen/Cookbook/) and now I have the urge to bake like a madwoman. it has so many yummy recipes. :)

I only have about 15 cards left to address and mail.

Nothing in the kitchen looks good. I think I'll order pizza.

[Curlita]

I have not yet started thinking about Christmas cards. Ugh.

I ate too many Christmas cookies and now I have heartburn. When, when will I learn moderation???

I have to go to Corvallis OR to do the holiday thing with my in-laws this weekend. I like them okay, but would rather stay home and read....

1. i don't want to take a library book with me
2. i don't think i can evensign it out for long enough
3. i wonder if i'll make it into one of my waitlisted courses over the holidays?

[Sirius]

1. Mark kept refering to herself as ME, maybe it was transposed and supposed to be E.M. hmmmmm


2. I just finished a game of Warcraft III.

3. I have to go to work tomorrow. All I have to do is scrapbook all day, but still, I have to go to work tomorrow.

1. Medeous is a heck of a good spy...I am indeed from KC.

2. I am having the sneezy sniffles today -- it might be from all the dust in my less-than-clean room that I'm trying to tidy up.

3. Tonight, I'm going to hang out with friends at the bar, drinking, eating fried bar food, and watching college football.

4. I've discovered I'm attracted to older men. All the guys I think are very attractive are about 35-ish. hmm....

[gwensmom]

1. I just received some of Dunglas's handmade soap as part of an exchange and am beside myself with glee. It all smells so good!

2. I also got a very mysterious postcard from Hawaii. I think it may be from someone who recently went on "an adventure". I was given a code and the date of Jan 8, 2004 which I believe is Elvis's birthday. I don't know if that is of any significance. This postcard was numbered 2/7 so who else got one?

3. I bought myself a Readymade magazine while Christmas shopping today.

[medeous]

1. i am going christmas shopping today.
2. i predict i will buy stuff for myself and something to eat.
3. i'm sure i could be a tidy person if someone would just give me a jumpstart by cleaning my house.

[Seusomon]

1. Yesterday was a good day.

2. I received some unexpected understanding.

3. I gave some unexpected understanding.

[Seusomon]

1. I ate way too much for lunch

2. I slept way too little last night

3. 1 + 2 = BLAAHHHH

[Cuilanië]

- I didn't sleep much last night.

- I didn't eat much today.

- Despite this, I'm feeling OK.

[Cuilanië]

- I've managed to cram my feet once more into my old pointe shoes, which are about half a size too small.

- This means I can stand on about one square inch for each foot. I'm having fun.

- My ankles and toes are going to hate me when I take these things off.

[gwensmom]

1. I just went and put on my old pointe shoes and mine are also too small.

2. I stood on pointe for two seconds :o :o :o Ouch!

3. The last time I took a serious class in them was 25 years ago

[Ashley]

1. I've been studying for the past 2 days, all day. Studying this hard makes my brain swim and sometimes hurt, hmm... I guess it doesn't like all the information I'm trying to cram into it.
2. It was funny yesterday. I'd been studying for 6 or 7 hours without a break so I decided to come down stairs and take a break. My friend started to talk to me but I really couldn's put words together. I don't know why my mind can focus on so much school but then not be able to have a normal conversation. It was really funny when I realized I kept almost speaking in Italian.
3. Aghh! I have 3 finals on Monday. Actually only 2, but I have to turn in a project. It's so ridiculous, my Astronomy classes final is worth 75 % of my grade and my project in that class is worth the other 25%. That scares me.

[Dalmaney]

1. I have too much to do, and not enough time or ambition to do it all.
2. Despite whatever doesn't get done, it will be over on the 17th at 5 pm.
3. I like eggnog, but I should have bought the full-fat stuff. This light stuff is kind of creepy and not as yummy.

[hammerquill]

It's raining hard enough now that I'm worried about my garage being flooded - it has happened in the past in this building, though not since I've been here.

I keep thinking it's a lot later at night than it is. Partly due to lack of sleep.

I picked up three fallen leaves today and have them on the computer table in front of me.

[bluecrayon]

1. I am smiling because of Hammerquill's 3 leaves -- I want to see them!

2. I like this rain that he and I are sharing here in the Bay Area -- I plan to walk in it soon and feel the cold down into my bones... that always shoots creativity back into me.

3. I sang a song today on the street with a homeless person named Gus and it was fun.
I got to see the smile behind the smile and I felt lucky...

[Cuilanië]

- I miss the rain and thunderstorms of my hometown... and the awesome winds.

- Fallen leaves always remind me of my childhood, jumping off a low branch into the huge pile we'd collected at the tree's foot...

- I should sleep soon. It's late here. G'night! :)

[medeous]

1. i managed to buy a dog sweater, but all my other christmas shopping was just for me.

2. i cuddled all the kittens and puppies at the rescue-adoption thingy outside the store.

3. i backed into a display rack and caught my pocket on a hook which ripped the seat of my pants, curtailing my shopping expedition.

[Christine_0701]

1. i learnt that the ferry workers planned strike action is just closing the gift shop and the cafeteria, and no overtime hours
2. despite this fact, i'd rather sit in the bus depot for 10.5 hours and be bored out my skull than have them change their minds, and not be able to make it over
3. i have everything packed, except for necessities i'll need in the morning...and my pj's

[Seusomon]

1. Cuilanië and Gwensmom en pointe - Nervousness Photo Op!

2. I'm not at my best, and I'm not at my worst - I'm just me today.

3. I'm thankful I'm a witch.

[Sirius]

1. Have an image of a bratz doll running through a store holding the seat of her "trousers" to her bum.

2. I have a lot of loose change I need to roll and take to the bank.

3. My step-father was in a car accident today.

[Seusomon]

1. Rustell's sig is scary

2. Eve is beautiful

3. Slap self for embarrassing Eve

[Sirius]

1. NeeNee is making me pout...the name calling, the love concept, the loyalty or the impatience. Which is scary?

2. Brad came over and tried on the Santa suit. He agreed to be Santa for us this year.

3. Brian accidentally broke one of my ornaments.

[Seusomon]

1. The NTS, silly - who cares about the philosophy?

2. I care about philosophy

3. I'm wondering if there anyone wants to read a cacophonous novel Are you there, bluecrayon?

[medeous]

1. this song cigarettes will kill you by ben lee (courtesy of gwendy's "in her car" mix) is making me chair dance.

2. i'm really glad no one can see me :ph34r:

3. i am pining for my big-ol'-house/small-business-owning-dilettante fantasy life.

[Sirius]

1. I sacrificed my sig for someone else. How noble, eh?


2. Music is a great motivator.


3. I am not a fan of potlucks.

[medeous]

1. i carved a stamp based on my avatar.

2. oops! that was supposed to be my secret anonymous signature for secret anonymous mail.

3. i think it wouldn't have been much of a mystery anyway.

[Sirius]

1. I have never carved a stamp.

2. That should be on the I never page, but I like three random facts better so I posted it here.

3. This is going to be a very, very busy week. I should clean my house tomorrow, since I won't have time all week.

[Seusomon]

1. Medeous's new stamp is bound to be scary

2. I've carved hundreds of stamps

3. I wish I weren't alone tonight

[Bugitha]

1. I often grow very fond of things that repulse me on first impression. This applies to clothes, furniture, even people. Today it applied to a Christmas decoration--"Its ugly! . . . I hate it. . . but there's something about it . . . I don't know if I really like it, but I must have it! . . .Oh my god, I love it!!!"

2. I love Christmas shopping, but not when I save it all up to do in December. It's exhausting.

3. This weekend is for decorating. Next weekend is for baking.

[atomic_cocktail]

1. I like cookies

2. I like cookies with sprinkles better than cookies without.

3. I like cookies with sprinkles and fun christmas shapes above all other cookies...well maybe not better than double chocolate cookies...

[medeous]

1. whoever is knocking at my door better just quit. :angry:
2. i am not a very social person. :ph34r:
3. i'm not going to work tomorrow. -_-

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. New kitty has made friends with everyone now :) Makes me happy. It's been a madhouse around here- kitties running up and down the hallway all day (thudthudthudthud.) It's terribly noisy and terribly cute :) It's nice to see everyone getting along and playing with each other.

2. Today is "our" 6 month wedding anniversary. We're a little bummed because we're too broke to do anything extra today. We were at the very least wanting to get a bottle of champagne. I think we're going to have mac and cheese and just spend the rest of the day cleaning. :P

3. I'm feeling like poop today. I just wanna lay around in bed. I keep getting sick! It's so frustrating!

[Dalmaney]

1. I think I am almost ready for my final tomorrow.
2. I have 50 calenders to attempt to sell for fifteen bucks each. I need to go convince some shops to let me leave a display.
3. I am so stressed I'm becoming dissociated from my life and am starting to just not care.

[Seusomon]

1. I'm eating couscous with a yummy canellini bean and tomato concoction I made the other day.

2. I'm going to try to get some nervousness things done for tomorrow's mail

3. I could use 2 weeks in Hawaii

[atomic_cocktail]

I got paid quite a bit of money today so Christmas + bills + everyday bullshit + mailings... might all be possible!

I hate money but love when it makes my life easier

I would prefer to get lots of really wacky fun gifts this year instead of normal boring ones!!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I haven't even begun to think about what to give for xmas. I'm terrible at this holiday stuff :P

2. I'm developing a rather large pile of stuff that needs mailed. I'm starting to worry. I have no money and no stamps! This happens far too often. I really need to get my sh#t together. I'm sick of being broke :angry:

3. Tomorrow is going to be a productive day. I don't care how sick I am...there's too much stuff for me to do. I have to get this place cleaned up. I need to finish up some nness stuffs. I also need to make an appointment to have someone come out and look at our furnace. It's been broken for months now. It's getting much too cold to be without it! Well...there's more money I need to spend that I don't have.

4. (bonus) I'm in a poopy mood, but I'm fighting it! I need to go find a kitty to love on. That makes everything better. :rolleyes:

[Ashley]

1. This is my 3rd day in a row of studying all day. I think my brain might actually pop :lol:
2. I just finished my astronomy project, that makes me very happy. Never taking astronomy again...
3. A lot of people are moving out of my house, that makes me very sad :( I will miss them.
4. Extra fact: I turn 20 on December 11th, I'm excited.

[kittymao]

Spent sat night in the City, but bummers cause it was in a hospital room.

Not me- my BF's bro had back surgery friday. he's such a strong guy- he's at home already!

Uhm. I slept so much today- for about twenty seconds I stressed about it being Mono. But I don't feel all that bad. So don't think it is.

[atomic_cocktail]

1. I dreamed of chain games last night :blink:

2. I am eating cereal without milk for breakfast

3. #2 because I am too lazy to go to the store before I eat something

[sarahkate]

1. I hate being back at work after a four day weekend.

2. It snowed here all weekend and now we are buried underneath at least a foot or more of snow.

3. I hurt my back from shoveling snow. :(

[stargal1998]

1. My heart goes out to all those Nness members who are stressed. Whether it's finals, family, the mail or even something like the computer--I've been there and I know you'll get through it.

2. I am getting myself some things for Christmas. An early present was a digital camera, and it honestly made me feel a little better. I won a bid for a making memories tool kit with a cutting board and eyelets. I wouldn't pay the $30-$35 I've seen it for at Michael's but am totally comfortable with paying under $27 for the entire thing, with shipping!

3. I doubt I will be able to keep the box it comes in wrapped and under the tree.

4. We haven't named the kitten. In fact, we KNOW it is a girl, but just don't know what to call her. This is her (http://www.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=9852083/PictureID=198304461/t_=7798793); she's the one with a lot of hair.

[Seusomon]

1. I'm finishing up a bunch of slams to send out tomorrow

2. It rained last night, and it's raining lightly on and off this morning

3. I need to exercise more

[Cuilanië]

- Today was a cold but gloriously sunny day.

- I'm wearing the same woollen vest as in my profile pic - I hadn't worn it in quite a while, and that picture made me remember it. :)

- I took some pictures of the scenes of my daily life during my lunch break.

[typo...]

[siafu]

-i am doing computer tutorials for my test
-my feet are cold
-i just want to eat beans and rice, even though i had it yesterdaY

1. It's time for me to take pictures of my daily life again - a lot has changed since I did it last

2. It's time for me to start writing some fiction again.

3. It's time to get a snack from the vending machine.

[Cuilanië]

- It's time to go, now...

- I am going to buy a very long USB cable.

- Maybe tonight my own computer will be connected, and I will be free of my roommate's computer! :D

[atomic_cocktail]

1. I am eating mac n cheese for lunch.... mmm straight from the box... just like mom used to make :D

2. my daughter is experiencing graham crackers for the first time

3. She is teaching me that they can be used to paint the world a lovely shade of brown

[sarahkate]

1. I went to a concert on Wednesday night & managed to survive standing on the outskirts of a mosh pit! I only got elbowed in the head once. :P

2. At that concert I saw one of my teenage cousins who lives about 45 minutes away from where the concert was being held. I had no clue I would see her there.

3. I also ran into someone from my past there! Towards the end of the concert I looked to my left & who was standing next to me? A kid named Brian that I went to elementary, middle & high school with. I used to have a crush on him in middle school. What was I thinking? He is pretty dorky! I talked to him for a few minutes after the concert. It was so weird to see someone I haven't seen in over 5 years, he didn't look or act much different than he did in high school though.

[Cuilanië]

- IT WORKS!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :D B) :ph34r:
Where's that cartwheel emoticon?

- I'm in business! My computer is now connected to the internet. No more stealing time on Roommie's computer! :D :D :D

- The sales clerk must've thought I was an easy mark - he tried to sell me an Ethernet card I don't need - I'm still laughing over the look on his face when he realised I knew what he was talking about and knew exactly what I wanted, besides... ;)

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. I have done more work at work today than I have since I fully enmeshed myself in Nervousness, back in August. Yikes!

2. Last night, Chris and I saw a Classical Music concert. The group was called Aulos Ensemble and they played Baroque music on Baroque instruments.

3. I finished my first-ever knitting project! It's a scarf for my mom, it's beautiful, and I will take photos tonight and post them tomorrow.

[cindi1023]

1. Another office sent our office a thank-you lunch today. It was a nice surprise, but I ate too much!

2. Got a phone call today -- my favorite jeans and sweatshirt that I left in a friend's condo in Florida have made their way home. Whoopie! :P

3. Last night my hubby got a phone call from an ex-girlfriend. I don't know how I feel about it....

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. If Chris got a phone call from an ex-girlfriend, I would freak out completely.

2. One of Chris's ex-girlfriends was stalking me during the first year we were together, and I mean EVERYWHERE. The scariest: she was tailgating me in traffic and waving her arms around, ranting and raving. She was alone in the car. :blink:

3. Chris definitely broke up with that girlfriend before we started going out or even kissed, but we definitely fell in love before they broke up.

[stargal1998]

1. I am getting angry, because my at work connection is monitored by Websense and Websense is blocking my personal site because it says it cannot display websites with sex content... The problem is that I have no sex content on my site! WTH???

2. I love spelling out phrases like that on the computer rather than saying them, like these:
LMAOROTF
WTH?

etc...


3. I keep thinking I hear the kitten at work, which I can't possibly be hearing... I never knew such loud noises could come from such a small thing...

[nymphette]

1: i dubbed this day 'nothing but chain games and a nap on the couch' day... it's 3:19 and i haven't napped and only popped on to bump... :(

2: i just saw cuilainie's profile picture and she's beautiful!!! :) i like it better than the blue hair pic!!!

3: "2. One of Chris's ex-girlfriends was stalking me during the first year we were together, and I mean EVERYWHERE. The scariest: she was tailgating me in traffic and waving her arms around, ranting and raving. She was alone in the car" -GWLS... yeah.. must be the name... one of chris's ex girlfriends used to call our house twenty times a day asking for him or hanging up on me when i answered... she stalked him at work and would sit on the bench outside of the computer store where he was working at the time and just stare at him... she almost got him fired... she called ME when she found out that i was pregnant and was trying to be all buddy buddy with me and trying to get me to talk about the coming baby with her, like we were old school chums... we eventually tried to get a restraining order against her (we had call trace on her phone calls too) but she finally gave up... or did she???????? she could be plotting....... she's crazy, like mentally insane type of crazy, not whimsy crazy..................disturbed...........

[Cuilanië]

- Despite Breanna's advice, I think I will go back out for sushi. (Mmmmm) :D

- The internet connection died on me for no good reason - I just got it back.

- Good night everyone! Bonne nuit! Gute Nacht! :)

Edited because Robyn's post wasn't there when I posted mine - Thank you! Y'all gotta stop that, now, I could fry an egg on my face... :wub:

[nymphette]

1: i'm giggling at eve right now....
2: my cat was in here eating but ran out when i started to laugh.. she's scared of me and really, i dont' know why.... really.....
3: i get to stay at a hotel for 2 weeks, courtesy of our insurance company, when they re do our floors.... i'm looking at it like that (GET TO) instead of like i was before (we're kicked out of our house and HAVE to) because we get to pick the hotel- so chris wants one with a pool, so me and the kids (well, julian) have something to do during the day... i want one with a kitchenette and separate bedroom so i dont' lose my sanity.... it's going to be fine..as long as i can get chris to load up the computer and bring it!!!!!!!! not that i get to be on it lots during hte day, but i'd go insane without my five minute checks, three or four times a day!!!! :)

[Seusomon]

1. Eve is more beautiful than her picture.

2. Don't mind me, I just want to eat that egg.

3. My ex and I had a crazy woman threatening us at one time. I got a restraining order, but it didn't help much. Police don't enforce them, they just report that the order has been violated.

:ph34r: now who's the evil twin? :ph34r:

[gwensmom]

1. Gwensdad's ex-girlfriend did some wierd stuff too. She came to where we worked and called the receptionist and told her to have me come into the parking lot because she had accidently hit my car. Gwensdad dealt with it.

2. She also threatened to kill his dog. And you DON'T mess with Gwendad's dog! He went home and put the dog inside and then called the girl's mother and told her to get the girl to a doctor or he would call the cops.

3. She didn't know my name and could not find out where I lived because I was unlisted, but she worked less than a mile from my apartment and I was paranoid that she would see me or my car and come after me.

The happy ending was that her mother got her taken care of and we did not have any more trouble. Now she is in the paper all the time because she runs the local "Miss Rodeo" beauty pageant. :)

[medeous]

1. i have never participated in, nor even attended a Miss Rodeo beauty pageant. :huh:

2. i have swiped my daughter's new stretchy headband and am currently wearing it ala Rambo...much to her pre-teen embarassment. :P

3. the person who kept knocking on my door yesterday, giving my dog fits and scaring the bejeezus outta me, left a note saying the wanted to buy all the cut wood in the back of my yard. thank god...i'm sure there are sorts of rats and snakes and spiders breeding back there. :blink:

[kittymao]

Cuilanie is beautiful. I'm so envious. Although it does kind of look like a mug shot-but by golly! It's a nice mug shot! hee. Mine looks like a lunatic.

I should be cleaning my room. And I will. And I need to do other thigns too- but I'm not really fretting cause I have all day and tomorrow too. It coudl also be that Winter Break mood is kicking in two weeks early.

Am kind of saddened by my delay in sending out LMAO's - ten sushi ( three are international!) and 6 cd's. I'm kind of... sad. gaak!

[Dalmaney]

1. Everything I touch tonight turns to crap. I set out to do two things: deliver a suprise and buy contact paper.
2. I forgot the suprise.
3. I bought the wrong contact paper, and I can't return it because I cut it.
:angry: Blah.

1. your grin makes me...something between a smirk and a snort...snirk?...anyway, it's a happy noise. :D
2. your mad-eye mooney look makes me go "heh heh" in a good way. :blink:

and now for something completely different:

3. i gave into whiney pre-teen pressure and decorated the outside of my house today. it looks hannukah-y, but a holiday's a holiday. ;)

[medeous]

1. i found the december 5 page from a small mary engelbreit calendar flying around on a parking lot today.

2. on the back it says:
"P.O.
FedX
3-5x8 frames
<picture of a rectangle>
1-wood frame
2 cat gifts"

3. i put it in my pocket.

[gwensmom]

medeous, submit that calendar page to found magazine (http://http://www.foundmagazine.com/)!

[medeous]

1. i got a hand massage at the mall today.
2. i hate the mall.
3. i like massages.

[Sirius]

1. I've been reading your jealous ex girlfriend stories, and am happy to report Brian doesn't have any ex-girlfriends (he claims to have been waiting for me all along).

2. Only two stalkers in my past.

3. One restraining order, which was not one of the stalkers.

rustell, you promised you wouldn't tell! i've been good!

[cindi1023]

1. I told hubby last night that I was going to call ex-girlfriend and ensure that she would not be calling him any more.

2. He got that "am I going to have to bail you out of jail?" look on his face.

3. The answer to #2 is probably not.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

she called ME when she found out that i was pregnant and was trying to be all buddy buddy with me and trying to get me to talk about the coming baby with her, like we were old school chums...
1. My grandmother had this same problem when she was pregnant with my mom. And then when my mom was born, the ex-gf called and asked my grandfather, "Did the baby's nose stop growing yet?" (Everyone in my family has a large nose. Well, not the adopted ones, but everyone else.)

2. I am starting to feel like I am in the Christmas spirit. I sing Christmas carols while washing dishes.

3. Today I is my first meeting as a member of the search committee who will hire someone for my old position in acquisitions. I feel powerful.

1. Whenever someone posts something like this, it gives me permission to say she's even more beautiful in person.

2. #1 can make her embarrassed, or blush, or both.

3. I kind of like #2.

[Seusomon]

1. We had a beautiful snowfall last night - enough to be pretty, not enough to make the drive to work dangerous or impossible.

2. I watched the full moon setting as I drove to work this morning. She was magnificent.

3. I have an important meeting at work this morning.

1. I would get a restraining order too if I were being stalked by a sock monkey. :o scary!

2. I lost a few pounds somehow. Maybe because I have been too busy to eat much.

3. I got a new bellydance workout tape for the hips, buns and thighs. It was easy to do but was I ever sore the next day!

[Sirius]

1. My father sweats to the oldies with Richard Simmons every morning.

2. This makes me chuckle.

3. So far in the past few months my dad has lost over 20 pounds "Sweatin' to the Oldies" so it must work.

[freckledcutie]

1.Ooooh, hard to admit but I've had a weird crush on Richard Simmons since I was a little girl

2.I'm wondering if that makes me crazy

3. I also had a mad crush on Kojak

[Sirius]

1. I beleive Freckled Cutie has "Interesting" taste in men.

3. i should not have had a glazed doughnut and a coke for breakfast.

- I am posting from my own computer, at home - I have actually managed to be home at 7 pm TWICE in a row. An exploit in itself... :P


btw, Robyn, Tom... I SAW THAT!!! :lol: kittymao too...

[Katiekat]

1. I went to a 311 concert last night with Yummy Man. It was fun -- 311 puts on a heck of a show. And, it had been quite awhile since my last concert, so it was nice to go have my eardrums wailed on. *buzzy ears*

1 1/2. Yummy Man is still one of the best kissers.

2. I'm going to eat leftover chinese for the 3rd time. I love it when 1 meal can feed you several times.

3. work is very quiet due to yucky, rainy weather. I wish i could've stayed home, too.

4. tonight is a Peanut night. I get to see lots of good friends, several cute men, and my favorite bartender (i love walking into a bar and having the bartender know you by name - and it's even better when he greets you, then picks up a glass and says "You want one of these?" and precedes to pour your favorite drink).

5. No, I'm not a lush.

Did you name your son after him? :lol:
I think he's cute. He does look like John, after all. The girl from The Wonder Years went out with him and I was jealous.

[nymphette]

oh yes indeey i did name julian after him!!! i had my 'boy' name picked out for ... 16 years before i had a boy baby to name....

1: on the same line- harrison is NOT named after harrison ford.. it was just a very uncommon name that both chris and i liked... :)

2: and we eached picked out a second name for harrison and (dont' laugh) chris's was kiefer and mine was liam... harrison liam kiefer larter.... <sigh> it was NOT planned that he has all movie star names!!! honestly, i swear we didn't even notice it until my sister pointed it out!!!! yikes!!! but we liked how strong the names were together so we didnt' change our minds....


3: i will never get to use my girl's names.... which lately has made me infinitely sad... the other day at the mall, there were a million moms with baby girls and i was in tears..... for the record, my girl's names are: jelannah skye and bronwyn elan.........

4: my mom keeps telling me we can adopt...... yeah.. we dont' have money for gas and she thinks we can adopt a baby????? she's pretty funny that mom o'mine....

robyn

[stargal1998]

1. The kitten still has no name, one week later...

2. I think I am going to give my BF's sister a call tonight, make sure she's okay. She doesn't have to take exams until after January (the school is letting her stop classes for the time being too), so I am glad she can have time to devote to Mike.

3. I learned how to purl last night... after not picking up the needles in frustration for a little over a week. Go Me!

4. Julian L. is so much cooler than the other son... Sean, I think? I knew a girl who went to a concert where he was opening, and he was in a space suit and he was talking about the next song, "And this song is about flying...in outer space..." And for the next two years whenever we wanted someone to laugh at something we said "it's about flying...in outer space..." Yeah, I am evil.

[nymphette]

LOL.... yeah, not a fan of sean.. he's too much his mother's son.....

1: i have to get off the comuter because i am neglecting julian.... well, HE seems to think i am... okay, yeah, i've been on here more than i've played with him today.. though i DID watch that stupid air bud movie with him!!!!!

2: it's cold in here and my arthritis is acting up.. i think that is affecting my decision to get off the computer more than julian's pitiful 'come mommy... play lego mommy'..... especially since i hate lego........

3: i need a big tim.....take that comment however you want..... ;) :lol: <_<

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. Wow. I know Nymphette well enough now to know that she means Tim Horton's coffee. To think, I had never even heard of that a month ago!

2. Actually, I like Sean Lennon too. And (gasp!) I can't bring myself to hate Yoko. She makes me laugh.

3. Tonight I meet my friend's twin 18-month old sons, Joel and Jason.

[stargal1998]

1. I've never met my two friends' children.

2. Wendy had a daughter almost a year ago, and I've never seen her, despite the fact we live about 1 & 1/2 hours away. I don't think the baby's daddy likes me... :rolleyes: Okay so I did bate him into a discussion about Napster and then laughed as he made a fool of himself, but still! B)

3. Rachel (my best friend) is in the US Air Force, stationed in Germany. She had Nicholas in October, but I've only seen one picture of him..

[nymphette]

1: yay!!! i'm glad someone knows me enough to think along the lines of coffee when i say i want a big tim!!! heh heh!!! i didnt' get it but i am having a great big cappucino cup full of nutcracker sweet tea... out of my last box... going on the great hunt after chris gets paid.... ;)

2: i am sad that nicole has never met her friends' kids... :( hopefully she can make a small roadtrip soon and meet up with wendy and her little girl!!!

3: i just made a huge batch of satsuma scented sugar body scrub... mmmm... and i don't want to give it away for christmas now!!! ;) i am making coconut, vanilla, and sweet almond as well.... and thinking this might be a good thing for the craft sale this spring!!! sugar is cheap.... and it makes your sin feel soooooooo good.... and DAMN, someone around here smells awesome!! oh... yeah.. it's me!!!

[Dalmaney]

1. I was msn'ing one of my camp girls last night, and she told me she's made over $100 selling hemp necklaces and bracelets that I taught her how to make! And her friends ask her to make them for them. I feel all warm and fuzzy that I gave an unconfident teenager something to be good at!

2. It's day like yesterday that make me want to go back next summer, with or without Jordan, and sucky pay be darned.

3. I am waaaay more zen about my finals than most people in my classes. I think I'm done studying for GeoEng and will move on to Calculus now.

[Ashley]

Yay! This week has been so good. Well, not because of finals and studying everyday and the guy I was dating moving, but so many other good things have balanced it out.
1. My Aunt Patsy surprised us a week ago by flying from South Carolina to Oregon! ( she's in the middle of a very ugly divorce where her ex-husband has tried to kill her and other bad things) So, I'm so happy she's away from scary evil man!
2. My birthday is on Thursday, but I'm going to have a party tomorrow because my last final is tomorrow. And, my mom is going to drive with Aunt Patsy and my best friend to see me, bring me dessert and take me out to lunch! And my crush is going to come to my birthday party!
3. 2 old friends are going to come and stay at my co-op for part of the time during Christmas break! I never get to see them cause they live in cities far away from mine. (Ok only 2 hours away, but I still never get to see them).

[Cuilanië]

- I'm feeling mischievous. Listening to The Nutcracker always does this to me.

- The internet connection keeps crashing, and I can't figure out why. I think it doesn't like my computer...

- I had bread for dinner. Just that, bread from the bakery just outside my Métro station. Mmm.

[Seusomon]

1. I'm a bit apprehensive about dinner with my ex tonight, considering my emotional and physical exhaustion right now.

2. I think I'll stop chain gaming for awhile and work on a slam.

3. Nah, just one more time through the board...

[medeous]

1. i got a new phone
2. i had to call tech support to find out how to turn it on
3. i'm too embarassed to call back to find out how to turn it off

[Katiekat]

:( I didn't get to go to the Peanut tonight after all. We're getting a hell of an icing here -- it was rainy all day, and at about 6 pm it turned to icy-slush. So now the roads are all "trecherous" (so say all the newscasters), and I figured I ought not to go driving about town.

:o This is the first Tuesday night in literally 3 months that I haven't been to the Peanut.

:blink: I find it amusing that after seeing a Pepsi commercial, it made me thirsty, so I went and got a Coke. Not quite the outcome the Pepsi people were going for, i think.

[atomic_cocktail]

1. I am wondering what the Peanut is and why Katiekat goes there so much

2. I call my daughter peanut

3. I used to have a Peanuts desktop.

[Sirius]

1. I sat outside of a Cold Stone Creamery and had ice cream tonight even though my hand was shaken I was so cold.

2. I spent the evening with a smoker, so I am now confused -- are my eyes burning because I am sleepy or because of the smoke.

3. Brian bought me a space heater today.

[Sirius]

1. This sounds like I should be at an AA meeting, but I realized tonight that it has been over a year since I have had any alcohol. Remember the Santa picture? That was taken December 7, 2002 in New Orleans. That was the last time I was with Andi, and the last time I had alcohol.

2. Andi is in town.

3. Andi lives in Dallas, Texas.

[medeous]

1. in the past month or so, i've sent someone the equivalent of an entire roll of packing tape....packages and envies are swathed in it, mummified...i'm not sure why i feel the need to do this.

2. phrases are flitting through my head, making it difficult to think. for instance, i distinctly heard/thought "sexual relationship", closely followed by "the money you save". i suppose a good sexual relationship could save you money if you stayed home and had sex instead of shopping or going to the movies. or maybe my head is haunted.

3. after i finish (i haven't started yet) my lung pillows, i plan on making my first ever sock monkey.

aha! there goes another one: "installation fees" :blink:

[hammerquill]

1. Remarkable new things become possible with pigments in patinas, though they're going to be hard to get used to. One piece today came out in colors out of Monet's Water Lilies.

2. I have been wishing my camera had auto-focus lately. I don't usually wish this.

3. I will go either to Europe or to Mongolia next year.

[Katiekat]

The Peanut is a very cool little neighborhood bar that has Open Mic night every Tuesday. A long-time friend and his band use it as a practice night, and he invited me out 3 months ago. Since then, I've been every Tuesday night, and we've gotten quite a good group of people that show up every time (including Crush and Yummy Guy). The bartender is awesome, and the night usually lasts until way late. Peanut night is my favorite night of the week!

1. I could have used this evening at home to be very productive, but instead I pretty much did nothing. It's been that kind of week.

2. I'm craving something to eat, but I don't know what. Something salty, maybe?

3. I broke a nail at work today. :angry:

[stargal1998]

1. I just found out a little-sister-like girl I met in college may not return to the school. I am returning to campus tomorrow night and helping throw a going away party for her.

2. Today is Human Rights Day, at least that is what my get fuzzy calendar says.

3. My Life's Little Instruction Book calendar says it too, so it must be official.

[Dalmaney]

1. I want to make a gingerbread house, just because I finally know how to make one without it collapsing. The secret: use white chocolate instead of icing. It's perfectly brilliant.

2. I write my second of five finals in 45 minutes.

3. I think I might not go to Toronto for the conference I was planning on, because it's WAY more expensive than I'd been led to believe.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. I knew a little girl named Peanut. Her mom was a heroin addict. When Peanut was two, she ate an eighth-ounce of 'shrooms she found in the car, and her mom just thought it was hilarious that she had to stay up all night while the toddler tripped. Sad!

2. I knew a little girl named Destiny who had fetal alcohol syndrome. Also very sad.

3. I met a girl who was 6 month pregnant and made her living by selling LSD at Phish shows. I don't even want to know how that child's life has turned out. :(

[Seusomon]

1. Dinner with the ex and her family was more comfortable than I expected.

2. I seem to have entered a thoughtful phase about my current breakup.

3. I haven't done one iota of Christmas shopping.

[Seusomon]

2. phrases are flitting through my head, making it difficult to think. for instance, i distinctly heard/thought "sexual relationship", closely followed by "the money you save". i suppose a good sexual relationship could save you money if you stayed home and had sex instead of shopping or going to the movies. or maybe my head is haunted.

aha! there goes another one: "installation fees" [blink.gif]

2. Actually, Medeous, this makes perfect sense to me. The fees for installing a new sexual relationship can sometimes be prohibitive.

3. I wish I had gotten more sleep last night.

[bluecrayon]

Heh heh -- there are spies everywhere in these boxes and I have been busted twice now!!! ;)

[medeous]

1. blue has an avatar!
2. it's her hand!
3. i like it!

[nymphette]

1: i made cabbage rolls for christmas last night... my freezer is now full of three roasters of food half my family won't eat... this makes me happy because then i get to have the leftovers, and give my aunt a batch (because she won't be here for christmas dinner) and take a batch to the soup kitchen....

2: i told myself no chain games today, that i had to be at least somehwat productiv eiwth my christmas stuff.... i dont' listen well....

i am getting yet another, new and different, strain of cold..... :( this is my third cold since i got one two months ago and our whole family seems to keep passing it around!!! i have REinstated the hand washing and using antibacterial gel before touching my kids rule.... which was very strict when harrison came home from the hospital, but i relaxed it.... but i am tired of the three of us being sick!!!!! so now i am putting a bottle by my back door and when people neter my house they WILL be germ free!!!!!!! <i am the germ nazi now> <i miss seinfeld>

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- My friend's babies, Joel and Jason, are really cute and funny little guys.

-2- Jason liked me, and told me "Baaa" when he pointed to a sheep.

-3- Joel was afraid of me because he had just woken from his nap, and he cried the whole time I was there. :(

[Seusomon]

1. I got all the slams for the Fat Slam round robin finished. Need to put them all in some super-sized package and send them on.

2. I think bluecrayon and I would fit together very nicely. I'm 5'11" :D

3. I think I'll be chaingaming a lot today. :D :D :D

[stargal1998]

1. I wish I could hear the song "Where are you Christmas?" off of the grinch soundtrack... I had a copy of that song on my old computer, but it didn't make the move :-(

2. I don't want it to be christmas. It's not the right time.

3. I need to buy green olives at the store tonight; green olives make me happy.

[Katiekat]

1. We haven't put up our christmas tree yet, and i'm worried about that. christmas has come way too fast this year, and i just don't feel ready.

2. weirdly enough, though, i really want to make my christmas cards. in fact, i wish i had my stuff to do them right now. (but i'm at work, and that's probably not too kosher.)

3. Burt's Bees is the best stuff in the world. My favorite products are the Avacado Hair Treatment, Dr. Burt's Res-Q Ointment, and the Beeswax lip balm. If you've never tried any of their stuff, I urge you to ask for something for the holidays so you can try it.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. Stargal, Katiekat: deep breaths. It's not Christmas yet, don't worry! Christmas Eve is two weeks away. A lot can happen in two weeks. It never comes before it's supposed to, I promise.

2. Sarahkate is making me giggle. We have secret fun in our PMs.

3. I wonder who else has secret PM fun.

[sarahkate]

1. I stayed up until almost 2:00 AM this morning. Usually I toss and turn all night, waking up frequently. I'm a pretty light sleeper. I woke up at around 7:30 this morning, my boyfriend had already got up, got ready for work and left & I didn't even know it, I don't even remember the alarm going off for him and I know it was set for 5:30 AM! It was very odd. Maybe going to bed that late is a good thing for me.

2. I was at the post office today and some dingbat behind me in line kept bumping into me which his pile of packages that he was balancing in his arms. Granted he had a lot of them and they were probably heavy but why stand so close to me? Everytime I moved up a step he would step closer and the post office lobby wasn't even that crowded <_<

3. I am feeling guilty & stressed out about some Nervousness stuff. Even though I don't have a lot due at the moment there are a few LMAOs & swaps that I have had technical difficulties with that I haven't had a chance to work on yet, there are some exchanges, RAoKs and other things I wanted to mail out that I keep forgetting to bring with me to the post office or I keep forgetting to work on. It's so frustrating to sit here all day at work, bored out of my mind most of the time, and I could be using this time to work on N'ness projects but I don't think my boss would be too happy if I set up a little art/craft area in my cubicle! :unsure: :(

[Cuilanië]

- My roommate pulled the internet plug on me with no warning last night when he got home. I am still smarting over this.

- I was in the midle of posting something and lost it, and now it's gone forever.

- I like bluecrayon's avatar. :)

[sarahkate]

Weee...look at me...posting again!

1. We haven't put up our christmas tree yet, and i'm worried about that. christmas has come way too fast this year, and i just don't feel ready.

1. Don't feel too bad Katiekat - I don't have a christmas tree yet either! I am really hoping we can get one this weekend. Come to think of it, I barely have any christmas decorations to put on a tree once we get one!


2. weirdly enough, though, i really want to make my christmas cards. in fact, i wish i had my stuff to do them right now. (but i'm at work, and that's probably not too kosher.)

2. I was thinking about hand making some Christmas cards too. I just don't know though - would people rather have cute store bought cards or sloppy sarahkate hand painted/collaged/whatever cards???


2. Sarahkate is making me giggle. We have secret fun in our PMs.

3. Likewise, Heather is cracking me up ....and...umm...grossing me out a bit too! (you know what I'm talking about!!!) I don't think we can call it "secret" fun anymore though :P

BONUS FACT:

4. I like secrets! (as long as I am in on them ;))

Alrighty then, I will give it a go! :)

I have never made my own Xmas cards before, well, except when I was a little girl, and I made them as gifts for my parents.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. Some stupid jerk keeps calling my supervisor, who's on another campus at a meeting today, and then hanging up when I answer.

2. Phones are very annoying.

3. I like peanut M & Ms.

[stargal1998]

1. I hate peanut butter, but I buy a package of reese's peanut butter cups and eat 7 out of 8 once a year... And they have to be frozen...

2. My cat has a name. I went home on my break, hoping I could find a small name (she's a small kitty)... Nick thinks she's evil, and I said "eve" and she looked up at me and meowed differently than with other names. So I said "Evie" and I got the same sound. Then I said "Eve" one more time and she came over to me... So the kitty's name is Eve (Evie)...I'm not sure if she even deserves a middle name after giving me such a hassle over this one!

3. I told Nick that if we were decorating for Xmas, it was all up to him...And he's decorated (a tree and some lights in the window). I hate looking at it... It seems out of place...

[Sirius]

1. I too am a connoisseur of the delectable delights of peanut M&Ms.

2. My neck hurts.

3. Three random facts is my favorite NNESS spot.

[Cuilanië]

- Stargal's kitty's middle name ought to be "whimsy" ;) Meow!

- I like cats, but I am somewhat allergic to them.

- Despite this, they seem to love me...

[Cuilanië]

Bonus fact - I've been in a neck-rub giving mood today, I could give a neck rub to Rustell if she were just a bit closer to here... :)

[Seusomon]

ahem :)

[Sirius]

1. I believe Seusomon is trying to encroch on my neck rub. :(

2. Back off, I could really use it, as my neck has popped the last three times I tried to look to the right. :angry:

3. the good thing about being alone in a 7,ooo sq ft building is you can get in a good feeling cat stretch without worrying about anyone walking in on you... <_<

[Cuilanië]

Does your neck hurt? :P OK, who else wants a neck rub? There's enough to go around... :D

- I am impatient to jump on a plane.

- I am looking forward to seeing snow.

- The moon was playing hide-and-seek with the clouds tonight.

[Katiekat]

Can i have one too? My shoulder's been killing me for the longest time... there's a knot in there that just won't come out.

1. I am in love with my outfit today! I'm wearing charcoal grey slacks, a button-down striped shirt (white, green, grey, blue, orange, & silver), and my chartreuse sweater that matches the green stripe in the shirt perfectly. I feel very pulled together and I like it! (ps - the shirt may sound hideous, but it's really not.)

2. December is just not condusive to getting anything done. I've managed to look busy without actually working today.

3. I have a friend who bites people when she's drunk. She'll even bite someone she doesn't know.

[Cuilanië]

- I like giving neck rubs. KatieKat, you're welcome to one too. :)

- We've had sunny weather three days in a row now. Hope it doesn't spell a rainy weekend.

- I have to be going soon. I'd rather not deal with being rudely disconnected again tonight.

[Seusomon]

1. I think Eve better buy a new appointment book

2. I'm eating peanut M&Ms. Thanks guys.

3. I'm vying with Christine for #1 again.

[Sirius]

1. 5462 miles separate me from a neck rub.
2. 8791 kilometers separate me from a neck rub.
3. :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

[Cuilanië]

- Happy thoughts for Rustell: :D :D :D :blink: :rolleyes: :blink: :D :D :D :ph34r:

- Er - I forgot to post two more facts. Guess there's one right there. :P

- I wonder where Rustell got such accurate distance measurements.

[Sirius]

:huh: With Christine gone for a month Seusomon should be able to take over the lead.

:o :o I am going to go for a walk and see if abandoning the computer helps my neck, it's worth a try.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I am anxious to go home today.

[Sirius]

1. The internet is my friend.

2. distance from here to there (http://www.wcrl.ars.usda.gov/cec/java/lat-long.htm)

3. so much for that walk

[cindi1023]

1. I took another day off to Christmas shop today & actually got quite a bit done. Now for the wrapping!

2. I have both of my Christmas trees up, but the rest of my decorations are piled in the middle of my living room floor. How did I accumulate so many decorations in 4 years of marriage??? I love the way my house looks decorated, but it's a pain to pack up the every-day stuff to make room for the decorations, only to have to take everything back down in a couple of weeks. And I don't think we're having any company this year, so who else is going to see it? At this point, I'm pretty apathetic about the whole decoration thing...

3. I fully intend to clean up & reorganize my studio tonight. Things have gotten entirely out of control in here during the last couple of weeks, and it's affecting my creativity (not to mention my ability to procrastinate...).

[cindi1023]

Rustell, you sound just like my hubby! Whenever he's really proud of something, he refers to it as his "friend." This goes for the internet, our ISP, his favorite program, this favorite website, the pasta he cooked for dinner last night... I frequently tease him about all of his friends... :P

[Cuilanië]

Thanks Rustell! :)

[Seusomon]

1. The internet is my friend.

2. The stars are my favorite philosophers.

3. The Moon is my lover.

[siafu]

1. i want to get seusomon's last three facts tattooed randomly on my arms and legs
2. i have been trying to get a hold of a guy named fish all day. i wish someone would just admit...oh fish..he's golfing. he's away from his desk. oh yeah, sure. was he ever at it?
3. i don't want fish to see my second fact. are the odds any good?

[Ishba]

1. A 16 year old girl at my school is extremely pregnant

2. She was wearing a nike shirt today that said "just do it"

3. Quite a few of the teachers told her it was in rather bad taste... even though they couldn't stop laughing (that just goes to show what kind of school I go to :huh: )

[cindi1023]

1. When I came home from shopping today, I dumped all of my packages in the living room. My youngest cat scrounged through them, and found the bag from Petsmart, which contained gifts from "Santa" for all three kitties.... Needless to say, all the gifts have been kitty tested and approved.


2. The paper star lantern over my desk just came on by itself. Kind of spooky....



3. I'm really going to get busy cleaning now.... I promise.... really.....

[Seusomon]

1. I passed Christine awhile back.

2. I wish I could have a "Nervousness open house" at my place every Friday.

3. It's strange that you can be fully happy before you have something, but feel awful when you lose it.

[Katiekat]

Awesome! Now if i can find a way to magically traverse the 4528.660 miles that separate me from Cuilanie, I'll be relieved of neck pain. And, btw, Cuilanie (and I don't mean to embarrass you by saying this) -- you are a very attractive woman! *insert construction-worker whistle here* I would even call you a hottie. :lol:

1. There is not a gosh-darned thing for me to do at work tonight. So I'm sitting here, bored, wishing that 9 pm would hurry up and get here so I can go home.

2. Although, I'm not really going home -- friend Shawn is picking me up from work (yay for boys with big trucks! i didn't want to drive my bitty car on ice), and we'll probably chill at his house for awhile.

3. I really want to read a good book, but at the moment, I can't seem to find anything that catches my attention. :(

1. This is almost as much fun as a good drinking game. Eve is beautiful!

2. I got a sweet PM from KatieKat. <hugs>

3. I'm doing an "ending ritual" in a couple hours. I don't know how it will make me feel.

[kittymao]

Oo, for the first time in a couple of weeks, I spent most of my day working on Nervousness stuff. Two ATC albums, six goauche painted ATC's, sent out returns on my Presidential ATC's and the MAIL JUST CAME!

Never mind the fact I still need to do a character turnaround, a thirty second animated piece, sculpt a figure, study for my business exam and try and find out how I'm doing in my Online Class.

Oh, and my room is royally thrashed. But at least I can use my desk again.

[Meika]

My house is thrased but it looks nice and Christmasy. :)

I wish I could pay someone to put the mess away for me.

The tree makes the whole house smell yummy. ;)

[hammerquill]

This year I'm very slow coming around to the realization of how soon Christmas is.

I love accidental art, and some of the best comes from scraps and trimmings of metal that happen to make pleasing forms. One from last Friday was so good, right off the shear, that I mounted and colored it and made it into a freestanding sculpture (http://www.davidmbowman.com/pix/reedredsculpture800tall.jpg) today. Of course, it ought to be 60 ft tall...

My camera is having intermittent problems, but I think I've got them figured out, if not solved.

[mejaka]

1. I CLEANED MY DESK! Yes, I can actually see the top of it now. It was, oh, unbelieveable, you wouldn't believe me if I showed you a picture. Not only my desk, but the shelf and the floor...all right there in the corner of the room into which guests are invited. AND...in cleaning my desk...

2. I finished putting all documents I own into my new filing system. Ask me anything. I can now look it up and retrieve it in like, one minute. Anything. EXCEPT two of my sons' birth certificates. Where the heck ARE they?

3. I stopped at a friend's today and offered myself as a wedding planner to her daughter, who is being married Saturday, is very young, is pregnant, and is completely overwhelmed by the details of a wedding, even a small one for 25 guests. She called me two days ago to ask if I'd arrange the music, since that's one of the things I do in my church, and she just sounded so overwhelmed and at the same time so sweetly concerned that she follow the "rules" for being married in the chapel that I couldn't stop thinking about it. She was so relieved when I walked in and said, "I'm your wedding planner. Get a notebook." We talked for 45 minutes and I made a couple calls. She now has an experienced pianist to provide music, a beautiful decorated arch with ivy, tulle, and twinkle lights, two silk ficus trees, two poinsettia plants, red tablecloths, gold-flecked pine cones, glass bowls of cranberries, and anything else we think might be helpful coming to the church on Saturday morning with three women who are going to help her make the little reception room absolutely beautiful...at zero cost to her and her young fiance. :^ ) It was a great day!

[sarahkate]

1. My stupid computer at work stopped working yesterday afternoon. I couldn't get back on the internet or use any of the databases I need for work, so for about 2 hours I had to just sit here doing nothing for the most part. ugh.

2. When I came back into work today my computer had *magically* fixed itself! Yahoooo!

3. It's raining & dreary here today, and there is still a lot of snow on the ground.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am on a mission to use up all the stupid scrap paper that's all over my desk, phone stand, printer stand, and spare table. By the end of the day, it must all be covered in math and in the recycling.

2. Last night I made the cutest coffee quotes cards like were suggested in the Christmas thread. Now they just need envelopes.

3. I am having my coffee before my shower today, mostly because I can.

[medeous]

1. eh, one of the kids in my class smells like old pee. :blink:

2. they are researching minerals on the internet.

3. in order to make this somewhat art-related, they have to draw their mineral rather than printing a picture of it...hmm, yeah, that makes it all okay. <_<

bonus fact: science is on THE TEST, art is not.

[Seusomon]

1. Some Russian scientists are visiting today.

2. Only 10 days til the solstice.

3. I feel very alive.

[atomic_cocktail]

3. I feel very alive.

1. wonders if seusomon is feeling better?

2. My boss is out of town so I am letting myself be late for work. (I am pure evvvvil)

3. It is raining out and all the snow is turning into very hard to shovel slush!

[edited to add a super duper bonus fact]

Super Duper Bonus Fact! My DSL is annoying slow today!

[medeous]

1. i have a tight dry cough...maybe it's tubercolosis.
2. we have a mandatory TB test every year.
3. my test came back negative, but maybe it's wrong!

[stargal1998]

1. I think I woke up with the beginnings of an ulcer this morning, and last night's dreams were all stressful.

2. It's pay day, but I'm still not convinced I should be happy.

3. Max kitty is getting fixed saturday... He's going to hate me, I just know it...

[Katiekat]

1. right this minute, I'm eating shrimp galanga soup from the Thai Place. My favorite restaurant ever, the best soup ever...*happy place*

2. I don't think Cuilanie has posted since I told her she was a hottie, and now i wonder if i've scared her away. :blink:

3. now alls i need is a thai iced tea with cream, and i'd be fabu
