Three random facts:

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i got neat pressies, there isn't a single thing i got that i don't like.

2. except, that is, for the flu. yup, i got that too. thanks dad.

3. I got NO art supplies. But I did get $65. So I can buy some stuff with that.

bonuses

4. I might not bother buying art supplies with that money. We'll see. There are other things I want more badly.

5. I NEED to go serious clothes shopping. (shoes, bras, socks, pants... all things I need).

[thunderstorm_19]

1. my sister's boyfriend gave her a gorgeous white gold promise ring, with a little square diamond in it.

2. I just put much needed coffee on to brew.

3. I got Vicks Vaporub out of the cupboard this morning. It expired in November 1997.

[sarahkate]

1. This is going to be one boring day. I am at work. I have around 30 coworkers, only about 8 or 9 of us are here today. I am quite sure I will have almost no work to do all day. More Nervousness time for me though. :)

2. I got the coolest craft cabinet for Christmas. Now I have a place to stash all of my Nervousness supplies since they have taken over my "dining room." I love my mom - she always gets me the best presents :)

3. I had lasagna for Christmas dinner. Another reason I love my mom :)

[Sirius]

1. hammerquill's knot it not there, was it only a Christmas treat.

2. everyone was well-behaved yesterday

3. I don't think I've mentioned it in a while, so "I'm hungry."

[thunderstorm_19]

1. we're watching the LOTR Two Towers DVD.

2. dad cranked the volume way more than needed.

3. coughing fits suck.

[Seusomon]

1. I have a new dresser

2. I have four new shirts

3. I'm wondering if it's a good time to go to the grocery store and post office, but I don't want to get dressed

[bluecrayon]

1. Hammerquill's knot is about 3 pages away from here and it is still beautiful!

2. Love can be cranky sometimes.

3. I am going to Pescadero for a few days and I hope love comes back into the sunlight while I'm gone....

[Curlita]

1. My husband shocked me with the most gorgeous, sexy victoria's secret nightgown for Christmas. The added bonus was that it actually looks good on me instead of emphasizing all my, um, padded places.

2. I am also at work. It is very quiet here today, but it's a nice chance to get caught up. And, um, play here.

3. I'm trying to decide where I will walk my dog tonight, since it's my turn to walk him...

[nymphette]

1: my hummus is tasty!!! (thanks for the recipe tom!!!) i put extra garlic in it, of course...

2: i am working on atc's today- i owe six from the pif's and some for an exchange... who knew i'd get hooked on these little tiny canvases too!! oh, wait... i did...

3: my family thinks i am crazy because my sister had a gift she said 'i dont know if you will like it or think i'm a dork for getting it for you... but i think you'll like it.. even if it is a little silly'.... as i started to open it i yelled out 'oh my god, did you get me a sock monkey??!!?!??' the room went silent. it wasn't a sock monkey. my sister's definition of silly and mine are a little different i've recently found. hm. yeah.

[bluecrayon]

1. I LOVE nymphette's new avatar!!!!!

2. I am taking forever to get out the door and I wonder what that means....


3. I am spinning beyond my usual loopiness -- yikes!

[siafu]

1. i bought the socks and pattern for a sock monkey. i can rebuild...
2. i can't take my sewing machine to oregon. i guess i am sewing by hand. i have to take clothes and stuff.
3. i am moving somewhere cool because i want to. i haven't done that in a long time.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I'm sick again! :angry: I don't think that I'm ever going to feel "normal" again.

2. Xmas went ok. My back aches from helping with dinner. I think I'm going to plan to be out of town for xmas next year...someplace warm where there is no family.

3. Yesterday I got to listen to my brother talk about guns. He loves guns. <_< I don't get it. I'm nothing like my family, especially my brother. You'd think that since we grew up in the same house we'd have something in common. I spent all of yesterday biting my tongue...

[Curlita]

1. Maybe I will have Christmas with DOA next year. :)
2. Christmas was actually not bad, but no matter where you put them, my family is dysfunctional.
3. I started laughing hysterically when my mother asked my husband if he'd read Flyboys, a book about a group of soldiers in WWII (I think) who basically all die expect one - George Bush, Sr. I don't know why it struck me funny. I think because my husband and I are not the kind of people who find it heroic and wondrous that he survived, while my mother is.

bonus 4: Picturing nymphette opening a present and shreiking about sock monkeys struck my as very funny...

[nymphette]

;)


1: i went to michael's to spend my gift certificate.. because i have no will power to save it for later and no restraint to postpone shopping until after boxing day..... if i would have had 5 more minutes, i could have had it all spent.... alas, i have to spend my remaining $8.91 when they open again..... ;)

2: i like the film and actor game.... it's very nice indeed....

3: i bought chris a monty python daily calendar... he loves me more than ever now.... :)

1. heehee...me too. It's one of the few chain games I'm actually good at ;)

2. I need to get over my phobia of singing in front of people. It drives my hubs crazy because he plays guitar. I was a good girl and sang with him recently :)

3. My best friend wants to make music with us. I have promised myself that I will practice singing every day (as soon as I'm done being sick.)

[siafu]

oh.

my stepson has arrived.:wub:

he brought an electric guitar and amp <_<

the upside is, if he is a rock star in the future, he can pay for my rocket powered conveyances. B)

[Seusomon]

1. I bought myself presents at Hastings today, art books...

2. Two of them are anatomy books, so I can draw people better. One is full of philosophy and beautiful photos of naked people. I love naked people, and wish there were more of them. The other has lots of proportions and practical stuff, which will probably help more in the long run.

3. Book #3 is about Celtic designs - I can do some basic knot things, but Hammerquill has inspired me to plunge forward.

[hammerquill]

1. I'm glad people like my snowflake knot.

1.25 I have made a lot of snowflake knots, all, of course, unique, though I've been known to use photocopies and scans of the nicer ones.

1.5 I put them on Christmas cards.

1.75 I didn't send any Christmas cards this year, so I used one of my old ones here on this thread.

2. I first learned knotwork by studying Iain Bain's Celtic Knotwork, which is still in print from Dover.

2.25 It's better in its way than other books which teach you more programmatically. Others might be clearer, easier for beginners, but I think they lead you to too uniform a system.

2.5 People are often worried about making it 'work right,' and think that's the hard part; but there are really only two or three rules you have to follow in knotwork, and it all works out on its own, leaving you free to play with larger design elements.

2.75 That goes for other styles of interlace design, too - I'm working on training my mind to the Islamic styles, slowly.

3. I developed my own style of knots early, which looks more modern than medieval most of the time.

3.25 I wish I were better at making knotwork that actually resembles Celtic and Anglo-Saxon designs.

3.5 I also wish I were better at Celtic spirals and key and maze patterns, not to mention figural/representational knotwork (featuring lions and birds and people and such).

3.75 I've only done one really successful Celtic spiral design. On an ATC.

4. This makes it a baker's dozen of random facts for the price of four.

[Ishba]

1) methinks one of my rats has a tumor :(

2) luckily it's the mean one that steals food from her own children

3) if I thought À Tes Souhaits had a tumor I'd be sobbing my eyes out

[Seusomon]

1. It's not the first time I've been referred to Ian Bain.

2. Nobody really understands about the velvet dress.

3. Tomorrow is a day without an agenda. :)

[Bugitha]

1. I have spent the last three hours surfing the internet and catching up on my reviews for my bookcrossing page. I haven't had this much time to spend on-line in ages.

2. My head cold is morphing into a chest cold. :(

3. I am looking forward to a new year.

[siafu]

1. i wish bugitha luck with kicking that cold.
2. i have packed one bag. i have one more and a carryon to go. but i do have thw piles of stuff set. i just have to pack and zip.
3. i applied for another job in portland

[thunderstorm_19]

1. I'm congested.

2. I have about 1/2 my normal sense of taste, due to said congestion.

3. I've taken, in the past 3 days (not in any particular order): advil, buckley's, robitussin, contac, cepacol lozenges, ricola lozenges, liquid exchinacea, benylin (sp?) first defense... interspersed with alcoholic drinks, namely red wine, and ribena with scotch. And coffee.

4. I'm trying to be good and avoid chocolate and dairy until i'm not stuffed up.

5. #3 reminds me I haven't had coffee yet this morning (it's 9:26AM).

6. My throat is at that horrid dry itchy stage. I wish I could fix it.

7. I don't have plans for New Years Eve yet.

8. New Year's day is my mom's birthday. I don't know if we're actually going to do anything.

9. GTG. Dad tells me coffee's ready.

[Katiekat]

1. I stayed up way too late last night -- i went to bed about 4 and had to get up at 7:30 to go to work. That was a very short 3.5 hours.

2. I think a very old friend of mine is maybe realizing he digs me, in a more-than-friends kind of way. But, since I've pretty much had a crush on him since i was 15, it's okay by me.

3. I wish, so badly, that I had taken the day off.

[Katiekat]

1. I am trying so hard to stay awake... anyone seen the Mr. Bean sketch where he's in church and he keeps nodding off, so he holds his eyes open with his fingers? That's what I feel like.

2. i bought myself a new pair of Gap cargo pants for work -- they are awesome! so comfy!

3. im craving indian food. chicken korma, maybe? mmm, korma...*drool*

[Cuilanië]

- I've seen "The Return of the King" yesterday. I could do a scene-by-scene appreciation, but that would be pointless. :angry:

- I'll just put it this way: I refuse to call it "The Lord of the Rings". That way I can't ~really~ get angry. ( :angry: )

- Considered on its own, all references aside (as much as I could make myself ignore the lip-service references to Tolkien), it wasn't even a good movie. <_<

[Katiekat]

1. I've never read any Tolkien, so I'm going to try to read The Hobbit in a week or so. I'm starting the "Librarian's Read Challenge" on the 1st, and I already have 2 stacks of books that I really want to read but I've been saving them for the challenge.

(1.5 Did that make any sense? I am so goddammed tired.)

1.75 All I can think about is sleeping. Cuddling up in my bed, wrapped up in my down comforter, mmmmmmmmzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

2. I'm supposed to go to The Foundation tonight with Eric. The Foundation (http://www.umkc.edu/labor-ed/kclh/10.htm) is a jazz club/bar that's been here since the early 1900's -- pretty much any jazz musician that's been in Kansas City (Charlie Parker, etc) has played there. But, it's an after-hours type place, which means shit doesn't start happening there til midnight at the absolute earliest, and the jam sessions go til 6 am. Anyway, I've never been, and Eric wants to jam, so we're s'posed to go tonight...looks like another late night for me!

3. I am rambling and my eyes won't properly focus. Okay, okay -- no more sleepy talk. Uh, .... uhm, okay. Got one! I just finished reading The Time-Traveler's Wife and I thought it was really, really good. A very well-written and interesting concept.

4. My tummy's full.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i hope they make a "the hobbit" movie, now that they've done the LOTR. I liked the movies. I have read the Hobbit, and enjoyed it.

2. the similarities between harry potter and LOTR are quite a few.

3. i need more contac.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. oh no. I have to plan a bachelorette party tonight...and I have to attend it :P Everyone in this town is sick. None of us have done a damn thing so far. I feel so bad for the poor bride to be...

2. I have less than 4 hours to get myself ready, run errands, and put it all together. Oh no.

3. I have been in and out of bed all day. There's no energy in me to spare. I don't even feel like taking a shower, and that's the easy part :P Oh no.

[Seusomon]

1. I cleaned my house this morning, which helped me get over the lethargy of lounging around over the holiday break.

2. I'm still working on Nervousness stuff, and it looks like I may actually get caught up soon!

3. Eve and I disagree about the Lord of the Rings movies, although I would probably agree with every grievance she could list. :ph34r:

[Bugitha]

1. I am doing something I do every few years: I listen to every gosh darn tape and CD I own in order to weed out stuff I will never listen to again and to rediscover old favorites. For reasons I can not explain, I am still hanging on to my collection of Lionel Richie tapes. :P

2. My taste in music is hopelessly uncool.

3. I need to weed out my VHS tapes, too. When will I ever watch The Crying Game again?

[Seusomon]

1. That's an excellent idea, Bugitha!

2. I wonder if my tunnel vision and narcissism are inescapable consequences of my solipsism.

3. I folded all my T-shirts this morning and put them in my new dresser. It's nice to have a dresser.

[medeous]

1. i just took my daughter to visit her grandmother...my ex-mother-in-law.
2. i took the wrong highway out of town and got lost on the way.
3. she was surprised, they were happy, i'm the good one, blah blah blah.

[Seusomon]

1. Despite the "bad rap" surrounding mothers-in-law, by ex and I still get along splendidly with each others' moms.

2. I'm really enjoying my eggnog tonight. :D

3. My house is really wonderful. I've been here 7 months and it still moves me.

[Ishba]

1) my step mother told me to take all of my (art) stuff out of 'her' dining room, while I was (quite obviously) in the middle of a project, so that she could sit on the floor in front of the woodstove (all of my stuff I was working on was on the table) <_<

2) thismorning at 8 or so I awoke to my dad crashing through my room (stepping on and breaking several things, I later found out. luckily he didn't break anything I was sending to nervousers) and then proceeded to watch him dig everything out from underneath my bed in search of one of my step-mother's cats, because it had puked. When I pointed out that scaring the life out of the poor cat wasn't going to make it stop vomiting, he called me a pissant. at the very least, it's the most creative thing he's called me in the past 16 years =/

3) I'm having a crummy day :(

[Seusomon]

1. Hugs, Isipid - tomorrow will be better.

2. I've always thought the expression "pissant" was hysterical - are they ants that piss copiously, or ants that are attracted to piss - either possibility makes me want to roll on the floor laughing. I'm glad I've never been insulted that way - my reaction might seem quite bizarre.

3. I'm feeling my attempts to simplify my life coming to fruition. The house is clean, the backlog of responsibilities is looking sensible again, and I've had a clear and happy day.

[Ishba]

1) *looks around for Isipid*

2) it is hysterical, just not on four hours of sleep. That, and I've found that laughing at my father when he's trying to insult me is generally a bad idea

3) If anyone lives near chicago and feels like transporting THIS (http://www.petfinder.org/pet.cgi?action=2&pet=2143009&adTarget=468petsgeneral&SessionID=3fee6c212cd47704-app2&display=&preview=1&row=0&tmpl=) adorable albino hedgehog to my house, I'll love you forever :P

[Seusomon]

1. I think I have a mental block when it comes to "Insipid" - difficult to refer to a fellow human being with that word.

2. I think that 14 hours with all of you is more than twice as long as half of you deserve, and half as long as I should like.

3. Bonne nuit

[Katiekat]

1. As much as I love children, there are some here right now that are driving me flippin crazy!

2. I think I may have rediscovered an old friend today. I tried 2 different ways to contact him, so we'll see if either of them work.

3. All I want for Christmas is true love. Am I too late?

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. Wow. I went a bit overboard last night :P I'm paying for it now. I keep runing over the night in my head. I'm fairly sure I didn't do anything too embarrassing...

2. I just found out that the wedding is on New Year's Eve, not New Year's Day. <_<

3. My car is far away. I feel stuck. I sometimes miss living downtown. It was so nice to be able to walk home after that kind of night.

4. It's a gorgeous day! It's so pretty outside :) What a nice change.

[jonnynobody]

1. I bought me a doggy. It's a girl and a mini-something. She's brown and black. I named her Suki.

2. I can't get my stupid copier to work. I was going to make flyers for my band's show Jan. 7th.

3. I almost broke my brother Jacob's nose. We were wrestling, and a year older, although I'm bigger (he's a stick.) And I popped him in the nose on "accident". It was bleeding.

[Seusomon]

1. I went to the hot tubs today and the air was so cold that my hair froze. It feels really strange to have frozen hair.

2. I have a pile of Nervousness stuff to mail tomorrow. :)

3. Chain gaming has scrambled my brains - I broke the rules on one of the PIF threads without realizing it. I was going to explain it using words like "random", "loops", and "sighs", but decided against it.

[cieart]

1. My work contract ends on 31December2003 but will be extended until 31January2004.

2. I'll be eating umu tonight :P

3. My fingers are wrinkled but the rest of my hands are smooth.

[Bugitha]

1. I want to start a humor themed valentine lmao called "My Funny Valentine," but since I'm already running a valentine LMAO so I probably won't.

2. My cat's paw is bleeding and I don't know why. She messed up the white cusion on my bench. Poor kitty. Poor bench.

3. I'm dying to read Dracula.

[Seusomon]

Maybe she's just sympathizing with your taste in fiction.


1. The only thing I don't like about my house is that it is not in the middle of a forest.

2. I'm glad Medeous didn't ask me to carve a sock monkey stamp. I have my standards.

3. Life does begin at 40. :D

[Bugitha]

Maybe she's just sympathizing with your taste in fiction.




Ha, that's funny. I did think It was sort of a strange couple of facts to put together.

Now I have to think of three more facts.

1. My car is in the shop and I feel lost without it. Which is ridiculous when I think about it logically. I've always claimed no emotional attatchment to my car, but I guess I was wrong.

2. My car needs lots and lots of work.

3. By the time my car is finished, my bank account will be finished, as well.

[Curlita]

1. I too just got done paying for car repairs. Yuck.

2. I needed to get new tires because yesterday on my way to work one of my tires blew out. Since I am a cell-phone holdout, I needed to walk around until I found a payphone and call one of the few people's phone number who I have memorized to come get me.

3. Right now I am supposed to be editing my NaNoWriMo project, but I can't seem to make myself...

[kittymao]

just got back tonight after about five days away- went to Hollister for Christmas eve, and Sacramento for christmas day. Then a couple of days in castro valley- alltogether a really excellent weekend to kick of my winter intercession.

I do really feel like crafting- maybe more ATC's or some Decos. All I know is I am DYING to do something artsy, and I need to do it soon or I'm gonna 'splode. Maybe I'll ink that werewolf Rudy. Oo. ya.

Uhm- *shrugs* I like cheese alot.

[nymphette]

1: i thought cieart was hving emu tonight, not umu... i reread and feel fine now... ;)

2: i have some monkey atc's ready to go out... not sure who to send them to though.... though i guess there are some obvious persons... of the monkeyish nature......

3: i still havent' sent out my brother's fmaily's christmas presents...... bad robyn.... on the same note, my gifts, my sister's family's, and my mom's gifts are all sitting in his living room... not ready to go.... so i dont' feel bad......

I am missing Sirius.... where is she???

[Death_Or_Aldona]

2. I can't sleep :P Sleep has always been an issue with me.

3. In 3 hours I have to start my busy day. Sleep! Where are you???

3. I can't wait to have a replica of said meal for lunch today...albeit smaller...

4. I got my art table for Xmas!!! Yay!

[Sirius]

Three Random Facts. THREE not EIGHT NOT Six! Rebels! Aaarrrrggghhhh!


1. Saturday I went to the Grand Canyon. I left at 5:45am and got back at 8pm. Sunday I went to Sedona. I left at 6AM and got back at 7pm. I took strangers with me, thus I got paid to make both of those trips.

2. There are five pages of threads with posts since my last visit. Since I only have a couple of minutes, I will not get a chance to read them all. Anyone want to recap?

3. I drove 30 miles on ice and had my stomache in knots because I had ten strangers with me, saw three cars in ditches at the side of the road, and had to hide my fear because it was the first time I have driven on ice, and they sure didn't need to know that. I've driven in snow before, but not just sheer glide across the road ice.

[Seusomon]

1. Today seems cheerful, somehow. Maybe the combination of cold air and bright sunshine.

2. Tomorrow, I'm seeing a dear friend who moved to California this summer and is back for the holidays. It'll be nice to catch up.

3. I'm starting to get hungry. I think I'll make that falafel in an hour or so.

[Ashley]

1. It snowed today!!!! Ok, that may not mean anything to you guys, but in the Willamette Valley in Oregon that's a big deal. The last time it snowed and stuck was 2 years ago.
2. I think my mom may buy me an iBook!
3. I'm taking Aikido next term, I hope that turns out well.

[nymphette]

1: it's been snowing off and on since saturday morning- and we've gotten (last time i heard) about 20 cm snow in total.... the drifts in our back yard are five feet tall and hte turnoff from our road to the highway to get into regina had three foot drifts on it yesterday- i had to drive on the wrong side of the road, almost in the ditch to get through!!!. it's stopped snowing like it was but we're going to get another cm in the next 24 hours.... i hate snow....

2: i pulled out the leftover hummus and guacamole and put it on the table with some pita chips.... i came in here to chain game for fifteen minutes.... the guacamole is all gone and julian has snarfed about half the bowl of hummus... little brat!!!! guess he was hungry though, he only had a piece of toast for breakfast....

3: chris and i are going on a date tonight.... dinner and a movie... if my patience lasts past dinner, that is.... i may not be up for sitting in a loud theatre with a bunch of kids talking and horsing around through the movie... not to mention not being able to pause when i have to pee!!!! ;) we may just rent and come home.... $9.00 for a movie, and i have to put up with chit chat through it??? i think not....

yes i am a grumpy old lady....

[hainlam]

1. I haven't been on a date in over a month.. :angry:

2. I never go to the movies.. I think it is way overpriced.. I prefer to pause when needed and lounge comfortably on the couch..

3. I am starving and just realized I left my lunch at home.

[nymphette]

1: my husband and i haven't been out for dinner and a movie since our anniversary last year (april)... nobody was confortable enough with harrison to take him for longer than an hour or two.... (so, supper out and then back home asap.. )

2: i don't enjoy movie theatres because of the noise, the crowd, the uncomfortable seats, how cold it is (and i never remeber to bring a sweater!!!) the expensive drinks/popcorn, the price of tickets...... on and on i could complain... bottom line- at home, after renting a movie for between 99 cents and $4.99, i can pop my popcorn, grab a drink out of the fridge, pause when i have to pee, rewind if i miss something becuase of someone talking, and ther eis never people behind me (yes i am paranoid)......

3: my husnband doesn't really understand why i don't like seeing movies out but he'll humor me about it becuse he doens't like my mood when we are finished at a theatre.... heh

[gwensmom]

1. The last two times we have planned to go to a movie the babysitter didn't show up.

2. I had a long list of things to do today and I have only done 1 so far.

3. There are a lot of people still missing from chain games and I will be glad when they come back.

1. Yes, I agree gwensmom. It's very quiet here without most of the "regulars" and I miss all of them! They are off having fun without us <_< ;)

2. On the other hand, in the past week or so there have been quite a few people who have started playing the chain games that didn't previously play them which makes me happy! Yay! :D I predict they will be addicted to chain gaming soon if they aren't already.

3. I was supposed to go see one of my most favorite bands in concert tonight, but I decided not to. I have realized that I am getting old.... now paying bills, getting up early to go to work tomorrow morning, and the safety of my ears have become priority over spending all of my extra money to go to a loud concert to see one of my favorite bands and have my ears ring & buzz for days afterwards. Ah, the joys of being a "grown up." -_-

[stargal1998]

1. I am stoked.

2. I have not been "stoked" for a very long time, if ever.

3. Am I "stoked" because I was watching Dracula 2000 when I was sick and wanted to watch "Bram Stoker's Dracula"? Or is it because I am, quite honestly, "stoked"?

[kittymao]

haa. Stoked.

I got a new beanie for christmas. A nice emily beanie with cats on it. It's a great gift cause I'd never buy it for myself, though I did want it. I already stuck a stellabella button on it. Rock.

Made ATC's last night- I even sewed one. Didn't go to bed until 1. I now need to find more things to do to whittle my day away. Probably clean my room.

My little brother comes home today. Anyone remember how I felt the last time? I'm avoiding it this time by NOT BEING HOME. bu wa ha ha.

[bluecrayon]

Everyone who plays the chain games is a regular in my book

I practically live here (and he lives too far away)


silliness is better than sadness ...

[stargal1998]

1. I am eating M&M's right now, and could not figure out which would be more pleasing to eat--the greens or the blues.

2. I usually seperate all my M&Ms by color, but didn't this package and it's driving me mad.

3. This is a quote from a cartoon, and I will be giving 1,000,000,000 cool points to the first person to identify what cartoon and character said this:
"Laundry Day is a very dangerous Day."

[hainlam]

1. I believe that was Rocko

2. I ate lunch, but still have a yucky tummy :(

3. I am thinking about a chihuahua

[stargal1998]

1. Hainlam is correct, and the recipient of oh so many cool points. You're now way cooler than I am, and I am the cool point giver...

2. I love the comic strips "Foxtrot" and "Get Fuzzy."

3. I went to the book outlet over the weekend and got the Nick Bantock book "The Gryphon." I put it on my art table, hoping to get some inspiration.

[cieart]

one/I didn't enjoy the umu last night as I had thought I would
two/Got my blue shoes on today
three/I wear my jade pendant everyday

[Bugitha]

i don't enjoy movie theatres because of the noise, the crowd, the uncomfortable seats, how cold it is (and i never remeber to bring a sweater!!!) the expensive drinks/popcorn, the price of tickets...... on and on i could complain... bottom line- at home, after renting a movie for between 99 cents and $4.99, i can pop my popcorn, grab a drink out of the fridge, pause when i have to pee, rewind if i miss something becuase of someone talking, and ther eis never people behind me (yes i am paranoid)......


1. I love seeing movies at the theater--the dark dark theater, the big screen, previews--yes, I love the previews--the sense of expectation in the theater. I love when something unexpected or fabulous happens and people clap and cheer, or jump from fright, I love people watching before the lights go out, I love the snacks when I can afford them, and the fun of sneaking stuff in when I can't.

2. Still, noisy kids/adults, idiots who not only answer, but then hold a conversation on their cell phones in the theater, and the outrageous cost going to the movies can bum me out.

3. I once seriously considered going to film school.

[kittymao]

I saw lord of the rings saturday. Snuck in food. Way too much for tickets, but alas! The end of an era, and the clapping and cheering amused me. And of course, my BF and I throwing one liners at each other the whole time.

I need to go get some food. Seems like cereal is on the menu- despite it being one thirty in the afternoon. *shrugs* take what you can get, yes?

It's uhm... the twentyninth. Meester mailman, please bring me some Nervous goodies and my paycheck!

[stargal1998]

1. I miss going to theatres and clapping after the movies...

2. I love movie theatres, and sometimes go to movies by myself.

3. I am, according to my friends, the movie goddess...

[jonnynobody]

1> Update on my new doggy: Suki decided she was gonna chew up my guitar strap, and now I will be forced to steal *cough* borrow my brother Jacob's strap to practice with my band tonight.


2> I went to a flea market with my step-sister. She spent about $70 on clothes, shoes, and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. stuff. I spent $7 on some pins (I got one that says "Cheer up Emo Kid" :D ) and some anime notebooks.

3> I have to cook. My mom left for Tennessee today to see my dad (they're divorced) about a family problem, and took my older brother James with her. So I had to cook for my brother Jacob and my step-sister Jasmine. (Her dad was married to my mom, too, but he left the family, and my mom got custody of her.) I decided to order pizza and tell Mom I cooked.

[Ashley]

1. I feel like such a little girl. My aunt and I painted my new, bigger, co-op room pink and purple. Everyone who came in to see what we were doing was very surprised to see me choose those colors.
2. I can't decide what to do for New Year's Eve. Half of my friends drink and the other half don't and neither really like to be around the other group because of this. So, I have to decide between friends and I hate doing that.
3. I'm sad. My once purple hair is turning pink :unsure:

[Sirius]

1. Brian went and saw Return of the King without me.
2. Argh. Hmph.
3. He told me in a way that implied that he didn't think I wanted to see it. I think he just thinks I should wait for DVD because I got annoyed having to miss parts of one and two for trips to the ladies room.

[Sirius]

1. I'm going to send my Valentines out through Valentine NE or Loving NM. USPS link (http://www.usps.com/communications/news/press/2003/pr03_010.pdf)

2. I need to work on my Valentines.

3. Brian has reported that I have more crazy mail with monkeys on it. :D I won't get to see my mail for another two hours. :angry:

2. Christine will never go home for Christmas again.

3. Geez, I leave for two days and bluecrayon is a thousand posts a head of me suddenly. What have you to been doing? Trying to crash the system?

[bluecrayon]

1. Yikes -- this actually embarrasses me!!! It's all these crazy games and having a boyfriend who lives too far away and not wanting to work on serious work and being housebound with flu victims and..... and just being addicted to these crazy games!!!!


2. Is it possible to sit on my hands for a month???


3. Did Tom and Sirius really think my infatuation guy could be a software designer????


hmm.. one more post! :o

[Sirius]

1. You never know with you. I figured number one was the lie, but since the others were right out there not taken I grabbed one.

2. The HIGH at the Grand Canyon was 30F on Saturday. Brrrrrr.

3. We got a new filing cabinet at work today. I was almost depressed that I got excited about it. We've been trying to cram "one more piece" of paper into our current filing cabinet for about two months.

[kittymao]

Good to see- uhm... rustirius back on the forums. She was gone sooo long.

Uhm- I am making chicken for my family tonight. Gaak. Oh well. I try, right? If It's crap I don't cook again. woohoo! Or not. Depends.

Updated my elfwood galleries. So today wasn't a total waste.

[cieart]

one/i just came back from downstairs from Hari Krishna, bought myself an ice-cream and i've just discovered that i can't lick in public!
two/i love indian sweets
three/ for work we printed a 2004 pocket calendar...someone rang us, after we had distributed it, informing us that the dates are wrong!

[Sirius]

1. The first thing I ever cooked for my family I was twelve and I baked a cake. I chose a bowl that was too small to pick in, and instead of transfering it to a larger bowl I just tried to mix very carefully to try not to knock any over the sides. So, um, it wasn't a very well mixed cake. The man who was on his way to becoming Daddy #2 aka my step-dad ate it anyway. The things people will do to let you know they care.

2. I once got in trouble for leaving the house with him before my parents were married. Apparently I was confused on what a stranger was.

3. I wonder if my mother remembers that.

[nymphette]

1: where did kicky kangaroo go??? i guess that isn't a fact...
er... kicky kangaroo is no more....

2: http://groups.msn.com/worshippersofcheese/...cheesecult.msnw (http://groups.msn.com/worshippersofcheese/welcometothecheesecult.msnw) those of you know who you are...

3: when i went to tim horton's to buy a coffee last night, in drive-thru, i asked for an 'extra large, triple-triple...' 'that's a dollar fifty' sez the window boy, 'drive thru'... so i do and get up to the window and he pushes all these bottle of orange juice at me and says 'that's $16.29'... 'uh, no, the coffee'... 'oh... that's $17.79 then....' 'uh, no, JUST the coffee'... 'you said 16 orange juices'... 'no, i said a coffee' (disgusted look from little 15 year old window boy) 'i can't take these off the till'... 'i can just drive away'... 'well, these headphones are really garbled'... 'yeah, and when i ordered, you said 'THAT'S A DOLLAR FIFTY'... 'oh, well.. there's two of us on the headphones'... 'and here's a buck fifty for my coffee...' (gathering up 16 orange juices) 'i'll just get rid of these'.... as i start to drive away 'sorry about the mix up'......

we thought he was kidding at first... [I]'i can't take these off the till'... can you believe that?????

[Seusomon]

1. I'm thinking about restarting my "Living Eros" LMAO

2. I saw scented massage oils in a shop a block from my house the other day. I've been thinking of rubbing them into a particular body ever since.

3. I have no idea what to do for the next full moon.

1) you should take a road trip to Alex Grey's studio/home (http://www.sacredmirrors.org/)

2) everybody should, actually

3) I should get my blurdy license <_<

[stargal1998]

1. Today is my last day of work this week.

2. Since only 5 days of work will be on this next paycheck, I will be getting 1/2 of my normal pay, and that scares me. I mean, I never realized that grown up obligations (Bills) don't care how much you get paid, only that you pay them.

3. 2004 is going to be totally different. I've got a lot of organizing to do and such, but it will be worth it.

1. Oh that's too funny! Who would order 16 orange juices at a drive-through anyway?

2. A helicopter has been circling the neighborhood since last night :ph34r: It's loud and distracting. Have I done something wrong? Do they want to take me away? Maybe my mother sent them to spy on me.

3. My mother is insane. She called at least 10 times yesterday AND stopped by because she was "worried about us." She actually just wanted to stop by, wake us up and make us feel guilty and bitch at us for any reason she could think of. I don't know how this happened. She calls an average of 3 times a day. I used to be able to go weeks without talking to her. How do I get the distance back? She's making me crazy!

[cindi1023]

1. I'm back!

2. I'm so glad the holiday crazyness is over. All I have left to do Christmas-wise is take down my decorations, but I'm in no hurry to do that!

3. It took me almost 2 hours to read through the 14 pages of Three Random Facts I've missed since my last post here....

[hainlam]

1. I am taking my decorations down tonight.. if I get around to it.

2. Last year I didn't get around to taking my decorations down until almost February.. and I don't want that to happen again.

3. I am really not as lazy as #2 makes me out to be

[cindi1023]

1. I don't want to break the "three fact" rule, so I'll break my posts up.... I've got lots of randomness to catch up on.

2. Amid all the holiday hubbub, I ended up spending 2 days at the doctor's office... adding one more bizarre neurogical disorder to my list of medical oddities. And the drugs they use to treat my particular medical weirdness scare the bejezus out of me. I can't decide whether to endure the symptoms or take the drugs...

3. I received 2 wonderfully random surprises in the mail just before Christmas, both of which came at exactly the right time to boost my spirits.

[cindi1023]

1. My dad is horribly superstitus, and insists that Christmas decorations be down my 12:01 A.M. January 1st. I usually lie and tell him mine are put away, even though I usually don't get around to repacking everything until around the middle of January. I have A LOT of decorations....

2. One of my friends is desparetly tring to fix my little sister up with one of her friends. I'm not sure how I feel about all this. He's a nice guy and all, but
a. my friend doesn't know my sister very well
b. why the sudden interest in hooking them up?
c. I've kind of thought for a while that my friend (who's married) was sort of interested in her friend.... maybe this is a way to relieve the temptation?

3. I have been so tired lately. I'm tired of being tired. I wish someone would fix it. Maybe I should ask the good genie? :P

[stargal1998]

1. I made basalmic vinagrette dressing Sunday night when people came over, and I cannot wait to have some on a salad when I get home... :-)

2. I'm not normally a basalmic person, but was recently converted by a Panera (http://www.panera.com) run.

3. I think I am also going to have some chicken with Knorr Aromat...yummy!

[nymphette]

1: i am glad you are one of us now stargal!!! (i am a vingear fiend!!!!! especially balsamic...)

2: i love foccacia dipped in balsamic and olive oil- the reason i like to go to poverino's!!!

3: i dont' have another fact....

oh yeah, i gotta get harrison ready for bed..... i guess that's a fact....

[Bugitha]

1. I was going to take my Christmas decorations down but they are so pretty this year that I decided to keep 'em up till New Years.

2. They've got to be down before January 11th because that's the last day to recycle trees around here.

3. The cat's will probably take a few more ornaments down before then.

[nymphette]

1: julian just came into the kitchen and pulled the bench out from the table at the kitchen nook and squatted down to look under the table... then he said 'HMM... julian's cheese on floor... mousie come, eat julian's cheese... all gone'...... then he turned around and stomped his foot and said 'DANG' and opened the fridge, grabbed the brick of cheese (which may or may not have been photographed witha monkey) and held it out to me.. picture this with his tighty whitey's with the superfriends on the bum.. all 34 pounds of him.- very indignantly.... so after i stopped laughing my ass off i said 'dang is NOT a nice word'... and gave him cheese... what else could i do???? :D

2: my husband is not going ot be home tonight and has our dvd player with him so i can't watch the movie we rented last night... it is going to be a get-lots-of-art-done type of night i think... this is a good thing after my get-nothing-done-but-chain-games-and-a-little-nap-on-the-couch day......

3: we are having vermicelli with olive oil, red wine vinegar and tomatoes tossed in it for supper..... oh.. and did i mention cheese???? ;)

[cindi1023]

How did 3 random facts end up halfway down page 2???

1. Today was Trash Pickup Day in my subdivision. I came home this evening to find that one of my oh-so-considerate neighbors had put a large cardboard box full of styrofoam peanuts (unsealed, mind you) out with their garbage. It was terribly windy today, and said box blew into our front yard, and it's contents scattered at least 3 houses down. My front yard is now, quite literally, covered in a few hundred white foam peanuts. It almost looks like it's snowed in several places.... :angry:

2. It's just too damn cold out tonight to get out there and pick all that mess up! I ought to track down that neighbor and make them clean up their garbage...

3. Who am I kidding? I'd NEVER confront one of my neighbors like that... I'd be afraid of my tires getting slashed, or at the very least, the air let out of them.... :unsure:

[cindi1023]

1. I wish I was eating dinner with nymphette and her kids. I think we're having sandwiches for dinner, since tonight is grocery-store-trip night for hubby (and he does all the cooking!)

2. on a lighter note from my previous post: For Christmas, Santa brought our cats some new kitty toys, one of which is a toy mouse on a bungee cord, that's attached to a bracket that clamps to the top of a door. Unfortunatly, the bracket is too wide to put on a door that actually closes (!?!?!), so we attached it to our laundry-room/kitty-potty-room door, which is always open. The one kitty who constantly plays with the toy frequently bounces the bungee with such force that the mouse gets lodged over the top of the door, and she comes crying for one of us to get it back down for her. Last night, I heard a big comotion coming from the vicinity of the laundry room, so I went to investigate. Apparently, Sammie figured out that if she jumped on top of her litter box and onto the washing machine, she could then jump on top of the open door and retrieve her mouse. Unfortunatly, after the mouse retrieval was completed, she couldn't figure out how to get down without hurting herself. I'm not tall enough to reach up and grab her, and she won't jump down into my arms, so I have to hunt through the house for the step ladder (which, of course, was not in the closet where it was supposed to be!) to get her down...

3. I realized today that hubby and I have now officially made it through FOUR family holiday get-togethers without ANYONE asking when we're having kids. Have they finally figured out that it's just not going to happen? I think a more likely answer is that they've all be abducted by aliens and replaced with non-grandchild-wanting clones....

[Seusomon]

1. Julian understands life. He will write the next great self-help bestseller. :D

2. I still have crackers. The goat cheese is gone. There is still gouda and la vache qui rit - which I insist on translating as "the cow who laughs", not "laughing cow" - it seems so much more poetic, profound, and emotive my way. :D

3. It helps to get through a bottle of bloody mary mix if you have orange juice to make screwdrivers with.

[Sirius]

1. I have finished reading The Cheese Monkey. It was, er, uh, interesting.

2. I feel like I have been crying although I have not. I have the burning eyes and "crying headache." Hm...seems odd.

3. It is 12/30/03 and I have recieved quite a few New Year's Eve invitations today. Non-planning irks me. "Uh, well, I already have plans, maybe next time."

[Seusomon]

1. There is no Monkey but Siriustell, and Cuilanië is Her Prophet.

2. Thou shalt have no Monkeys before Me.

3. By their cheeses ye shall know them.

[Sirius]

1. Cleaning my desk always turns into playing on Nervousness.

2. My desk has been a wreck since I started playing here.

3. I have tomorrow and Thrusday off -- I can clean my desk then.

[Seusomon]

1. The really weird thing about the Kicky Kangaroo photo is what that child is doing with her hands.

2. I had leftover falafel for dinner, straight out of the plastic storage container. :)

3. I can't seem to find any flights between Fiji and Albuquerque on Travelocity.com

[cieart]

one/ i'm huge fan of google. To show you how much check out flights from Fiji to Albuquerque (http://www.google.com.fj/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=Fiji+Albuquerque+flights&spell=1)
two/just got a wedding present...after being married for over three months
three/i want to watch Lord of the Rings during the day and not at night

[Seusomon]

1. Gosh, they're all expensive, just to make tamales for a married woman.

2. But the offer stands.

3. When I was very young, I wrote - "you only live once, at most." Still seems true.

[Sirius]

1. currently the my avatar is just a little red x for me, so i can't remember the hands....oh, the kangoroo pose.....you should see the tail piece they made me wear.

2. You may or may not be able to witness the torture, based on the mood of village photos....but here....http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-9/389388/villageroo.jpg


3. Village photos annoys me regularly.

[kittymao]

1.
today I got paid 7.09 an hour for six hours to babysit goats. Yep. that means- a slow day at work.

2.
I found $5 in my jeans! That means I can mail something! woohoo!

3.
My brother is here. He's not as smelly or irritative as last time.

4. (bonus!)
I leave for a new years part tomorrow- won't get back until say... sunday? Yep.

[Sirius]

1. Another way to see the pictures (http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=491669)

2. My desk is becoming visible.

3. I think I have gotten as many Christmas cards after christmas as I did before.

[Seusomon]

1. I like the photo album.

2. I wonder if the man in the Santa suit can really be trusted.

3. I'm disappointed that Kicky Kangaroo is not actually kicking, publicly at least.

[cieart]

one/Tom, if you spend US$1943 to come to Fiji to make me tamales, I'll make you a lovo feast fit for a King, let you sleep on my Queen size bed, make you dance under the stars with the occassional planes flying by so i can feel like a princess, ride like a prince on Fiji's ever dumpy pot hole roads in the open air bus and many more, all just for tamales
two/I have views to the outside world from three different windows in the office.
1. Mountains in a distance
2. Ratu Sukuna building
3. Mango tree tops
three/i wear glasses

[cieart]

three/i'm the first to see the sun in the forums :lol:
two/and the first to see whose birthday is comig up...
one/i won't come back to the forums :o ...until 2004 :P


So you all have a memorable last day for 2003 and welcome 2004 with joy :wub:

[nymphette]

1: rustell is very pretty/sexy as the punisher.. it's the curls i think.....

2: i napped for another half an hour on the couch... my back hurts and i am still tired... i think i must be coming down with something... hm....

3: chris will be home later than he thought so i will get lots done tonight to catch up on n'ness stuff.... if i don't fall asleep on the couch.....

[Sirius]

1. I think the man in the Santa Suit can be trusted. He has been Brian's friend since he was a child. He was in our wedding.

2. The Punisher was a very...hm...popular outfit. I still have it but fear what it would look like if I put it on. And for the curl -- lots of mouse, lots of squishing.

3. My desk is oak, who would've known. Oh, yea, me pre-nervousness.

[Seusomon]

1. A trip to Fiji is under consideration.

2. A second trip to France would probably damage me for life, even if there were no monkeys involved.

3. A trip to Arizona seems oddly practical, especially if San Franciso folk can come too...

[medeous]

1. i'm feeling rather secretive
2. i don't feel like divulging odd bits and facts
3. that's all the info you're getting out of me at the moment

[kittymao]

1. *poke poke poke* Out with it Medeous- I must know what you're hiding!

2. I'm at the moment housebound with the doors locked- and our neighborhood is blocked off. I can also hear the helicopters searching. They're looking for someone. IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. Gods, I want to get out.

3. I want to go to Arizona. Way things are looking, I might within the next year.

[hammerquill]

I don't think medeous could reveal anything more shocking than she already did, when she showed us she wasn't a sock monkey.

My apartment is severely overheated right now.

There is a bullet fitted perfectly inside a thimble on the table in front of me. Must be art.

[bluecrayon]

It is 9:30pm and I never got dressed today.

I am oddly feeling like medeous and not wanting to divulge much more....

I am ready to go on this road trip to Arizona...


bonus fact: I want to see that bullet, Hammerquill!

[Seusomon]

1. I'm so sorry about Hammerquill's flood

2. I think Medeous's sock monkey is totally revealing, and that it is bizarre for her to imagine there could be anything left to conceal.

3. Tomorrow night, I'm with Eve in spirit.

[Sirius]

1. I did get rid of the guest bed, but I have a futon, two sofas, two love seats, a recliner and plenty of sleeping-bag ready floor space available for the Arizona Slumber Party.

2. Give me some notice before you knock on the door so I can warm Brian up to the idea. "THE CHEESY MONKEY PEOPLE ARE COMING?!?!?!?"

3. I am quite experienced in Arizona road trips so we could take in the sites.

[Seusomon]

1. I'm thinking February - anyone want to pick a week?

2. I need to take my outdoor Christmas lights down.

3. I have lots of happy sleeping spaces here too, but geography favors Rustell and Brian.

1. When I'm away from nness, I can think of literally dozens of odd and random things I'd like to post in this thread. But when I get here, they all fly out of my head. Why is that? Perhaps reading everyone else's randomness allows those random thoughts in my head time to sneak out when I'm not paying attention....

2. The most thoughtful Christmas gift I received this year: I found out that hubby actually pays attention to some of my endless chatter about nervousness projects! One of my gifts from him was 1100 archival-quality ATC sleeves. God only knows what I'll ever do with that many of them, but I've got 'em if I need 'em! :P

3. I love Rustell's kicky kangaroo photos.... I have some similar picture of my own I need to dig out.... of 6-year-old me as a tap-dancing skunk! :D

[Sirius]

1. I will, I will (pick a week that is) -- the third one.

2. A tap-dancing skunk. Who thinks these things up? Someone with a Pepe Le Pew fetish?

3. Brian asked if I liked dangly earings today. He said, "I know I've never seen you wear them, but you did go the first couple of years we were dating never wearing earrings, and the last three years you haven't gone a day with out them and...." I perplex him.

[Sirius]

1. Oddly enough, Brian was the second person to ask me about earrings I'd wear today.

2. I can't wear normal off the rack earrings, they make my ears itch and cause little ear bumps. I have to pay for the overpriced stuff in the glass case, or risk going over the edge and ripping my ear off.

3. Sometimes I wonder when my train left the normal station and allowed me to wonder on to the weirdest topics. <_<

[Ishba]

1) Monday I cleaned my room out while wearing ant antennae that I made with wire and paper mache.

2) yesterday/today I painted my room-to-be with my boyfriend and father from 4 in the afternoon to 12:30 in the morning.

3) this evening I'm probably going to go out, even though I'd rather stay home and eat sushi at my parents' new years party

[medeous]

1. i don't like sushi
2. i've never eaten sushi
3. i know i wouldn't like sushi even if i tried it

[Sirius]

1. i don't like sushi
2. i've never eaten sushi
3. i know i wouldn't like sushi even if i tried it


No need for original thought when the post is perfect. In other words, ditto that Medeous.

[hammerquill]

I was slightly surprised to find I do like sushi - some at least.

I must find out more about sushi.

I'll need to find a guide to sushi appreciation.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I'm stupid. I forgot to close this window before I left the house today. I'm surprised the cats didn't post anything. They sometimes instant message people with gibberish. Or at least It appears to be gibberish :ph34r:

2. I'm stressed about this wedding that's happening tomorrow. I still haven't found anything to wear :P

3. I wish I lived in Arizona. We've been talking about moving there. It's so far away though. Moving would be expensive. If things work out as planned, hopefully we'll be there in a year or two :)

[chunkymonkey]

1. last night I scanned practically every part of my body. It was interesting. :ph34r:

2. I'm tired of the abundance of space in one area of my life and the puacity of space in another. Why is balance so hard to find?

3. everytime I write or say paucity I can't help but think "sat word." I feel phony for even using it...lol which is just silly.

[gwensmom]

1. There are a lot of nervous birthdays in January

2. I made some birthday RAOK's yesterday

3. Somebody is going to be LT(heir)AO when they get it.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. there are also alot of january/capricorn birthdays in my family. Dec 28, Dec 29, Jan 1st, Jan 3rd, 2 on Jan 7...

2. I posted this after only writing one thing. (oyh)

3. there are certain types of shopping that I hate. I'm going on one such expedition this afternoon.

4. I don't have plans tonight as of yet.

[Sirius]

1. My brother's birthday is Sunday.
2. My mother's birthday is Monday.
3. My nephew's birthday is January 27th.

[Seusomon]

1. I didn't expect to like sushi before I tried it - now I'm addicted.

2. I should get off the computer and work on some LMAOs

3. I will after working my way up to the top of this board. :D

[Sirius]

i'm paying bills. Pay one, post one, I negotiated with me.

it's kind of chilly.

i can still see my desk. :D

[sarahkate]

1. I miss that girl...you know..the one who loves sharks. I also miss Cuilanië .... and Christine ..... and all of those people who are usually here keeping the forums bustling!

2. I am not doing anything for New Year's Eve. Just sitting at home, watching movies probably, which is perfectly fine with me because I feel a bit like poo today.

3. I hope 2004 is a better year for everyone than 2003 was.

[gwensmom]

1. I just gave my first negative feedback

2. It was not fun :(

3. I hope I get to change it to neutral

[Sirius]

1. I have left two negative feedback points.

2. I should have left about 15 by now, but I decided to only leave negative if they dissapear with my LMAO, not if they just fall off of their contribution and don't respond to emails and hold up the process, or if they keep my LMAO for over a month when it had a clearly defined 14 day parameter that they knew about when they signed up.

3. Hm...I have some feedback points setting around...maybe I should rethink the standard and not be so forgiving.


Bonus fact: I think Seusomon is still waiting for me to type the word forgiving since that was the only word he was missing in Bingo. The wait is over

[cindi1023]

1. I just finished packing up all of the office Christmas decorations all by myself! Sometimes the people I work with are just jackasses....

2. Tonight, for the first time in YEARS hubby and I are going to a New Year's party. Nothing fancy, just a big group of friends, lots of drinking, and party games!

3. We already have an invite to crash on the sofa if necessary. Always good to have a back-up plan! :P

[cindi1023]

1. I'm wondering - has the fast reply option always been on the Quizes & Questions thread, or did I just never notice it before???

2. I've been trying the bargaining with myself method of getting work done.... but I cheat! :P

3. Despite all the junk & sweets I've been eating non stop during the holidays, I weighed this morning, and only gained 5 pounds... given what I've been eating (read - a diet consisting almost totally of chocolate), this is not bad at all!

[sarahkate]

1. Ha! I was wondering the same thing earlier cindi! I really thought I had just been ignoring it all of this time & just happened to notice it today, but since you just noticed it today too I am leaning towards the idea that it's a new feature. :P

2. If someone told me that I could eat ONLY foods that start with the letters "P" and "C" I would be perfectly content, even if it was only the "P" foods. I love food that starts with "P" .... potatoes (they don't call me "Old Lady Taters" for nothin' ;)), pasta, pineapple, peanuts, pistachios, pickles.....I could keep going...but I will stop there.

3. I wish a paperclip donation box would magically appear outside of my cubicle. I have billions of paperclips and no use for all of them! Oy! (Hey...paperclip...another "p" word!)

[cindi1023]

1. I think I could survive on "P" and "C" foods, too... although how many different types of sushi start with those letters? I guess I could make my own and call them all "Cindi Rolls" and be set! :P

2. I get to leave work in 25 minutes.... WOOHOO! Just hope traffic getting home isn't too bad tonight! I've got partying to do! *<=) (in case you're wondering, that's supposed to be a smilie with a party hat on!)

3. If I don't get a chance to post again.... I'm wishing every a fun-filled & safe New Year's!

[Ishba]

1) I think working in the paint fumes for 8 hours without drinking any water yesterday got to me... thismorning when I got up my knees were like jello that hadn't set up yet and my hands were shaking. I had to lean on things to walk. I had to drink 3 glasses of water, a cup of tea, and have some breakfast before I could stand up on my own

2) regardless, my new room looks pretty bad a$$

3) I'll have to borrow my boyfriend's digital camera and get some pictures of it

[Katiekat]

1. i bought new glasses frames today, even though i was pretty set on staying with my old frames. I hope they're as cute as i think they are!

2. to all the people who say they hate sushi and won't even try it: you're missing out! it's soooo delicious! *tummy growls* I want tempura rolls!

3. I'm thinking of going to a Curves workout center. Anyone ever been to one?

[medeous]

1. if i never eat sushi, that will leave lots more for those of you who like it
2. i'm thinking of joining the Y
3. i'm feeling a bit wobbly and lightheaded

[kittymao]

1. I need to get to the post office. I can't wait. It's so fun to work on the projects, but such a stresser to get them out of my house! Gaa.

2. In an hour I'm going out to hollister. I love that little biker town. I plan on getting plastered, and maybe eating too much. Whee!

3. Things are quiet now. A bit too quiet, personally, but what's a girl to do?

[Sirius]

1. I'm thinking of working "natch" into my vocabulary. Why? Because I think it would be cool, natch.

2. Severl years ago I worked "You dig?" into my vocabulary. It lasted about six months.

3. Brian laughs at me, because I cannot watch British movies without picking up a British accent that lasts a few hours.

[Seusomon]

1. I seem to have a solid 700-post lead over the nearest contender (waves at bluecrayon from far out to sea) - that's a lot of posts!

2. I've been thinking of Eve's friendship all day today, and feeling very deeply moved.

3. The Moët is chilling.

[bluecrayon]

1. New Year's Eve and I am sitting here alone and that's kind of alright with me -- the person I want to be with is far away and I will call him at midnite... so I ramble around and come over here and, of course, you guys are all out partying.... sigh.

2. I am listening to Broadway show tunes and drinking champagne and feeling bluecrayonish...

3. I will go out for a bike ride after I talk to him and let 2004 tingle across my face....

[Seusomon]

1. Sitting here alone too, and happier even than bluecrayon, I think.

2. I don't remember last New Year's Eve at all - I think I was busy finishing writing my tarot book and didn't even notice!

3. I finally finished the "Day in the Life" art journal that bluecrayon sent on to me months ago. I like my New Year's Eve entry. :)

[bluecrayon]

1. I am HAPPY to see Tom meandering around here tonight also!!!

2. I am also surprised to learn he is slow to do lmaos, too!!!

3. New Year's Eves all blur into a black and white photo from 50 years ago in my memory...

[Seusomon]

1. I used to be very prompt with LMAOs - then life sent me for a loop this summer and I never quite caught my breath or my balance again until now.

2. I'm very nearly caught up.

3. I just went outside a looked at the first quarter Moon; had somehow missed seeing her all this week. She's beautiful.

Bonus fact: it is 2004 in Montréal.

[Sirius]

1. Maybe we should find the 500 numbers thread and try to countdown to zero by midnight (40 minutes, with 30 second flood control intervals =...can we?)

2. I am ready for 2004.

3. Bye-Bye 2003.

Mmmm... sushi.... (really, I'd have thought someone would've told me to shut up by now... ;) ) I'll volunteer!!!

- I had sushi tonight for my birthday/New Year's meal, thanks to my aunt Nicole. I've decided it's one of the most sensual pleasures I know. 4 senses out of five... :D

- My aunt is interested about Nervousness. I think that's so cool... :)

- My 29th year is beginning... May 2004 bring you all what you need to be happy. :wub:

[bluecrayon]

1. Happy Birthday, Eve!!!! I'm in my 35th year -- yikes!!!

2. I love sushi -- but vegetarian sushi... I love wasabi

3. Don't you dare race through my beloved numbers numbers thread unless we agree
to start it up all over again! :D

[Seusomon]

1. Happy New Year!

2. Hello Eve - surprised to see you here right now, but happy. I'm drinking champagne, toasting you and wishing wonders for you ahead!

3. I'm feeling very happy tonight.

[Seusomon]

PS - this champagne is wonderful!

[Sirius]

1. It is 2004. Yippie. Hooray!

2. Did I mention that 2003 is gone now?

3. I've already changed my calendars....

[Seusomon]

1. With Rustellian impatience, I changed all my calendars around noon today.

2. I will make sushi for Cuilanië, bluecrayon, or whoever else lands on my doorstep.

3. I'm guessing "sound" is the sense that Eve finds wanting in sushi - she must not have conversations with it as I do. :P

[Sirius]

1. I can imagine a very squishy sound to go along with Sushi.

2. See, I don't like fish, why would I like it raw?

3. I have been deep sea fishing however, oh, I should have saved that for truth/lie.

[Seusomon]

1. Most people who refuse to try sushi believe the word means "raw fish", but sushi is actually specially prepared rice, lovingly combined with many different ingredients, sometimes raw fish, but also vegetables or fish or seafood that has been cooked or smoked.

2. Raw fish is called "sashimi".

3. cucumber rolls, anyone?

:D

[Sirius]

1. I have tried California Rolls. I did not like them.

2. Sushi is generally wrapped in Seaweed, something I avoid when in the sea.

3. And, almost always it is topped with some sort of seafood - cooked fish, raw fish....I don't like lobster or shrimp or any other Little Mermaid creature.

[Sirius]

1. I had a friend who worked at a "Sushi bar" for a couple of years. He spoke of it's appeal quite often.

2. Brian looks sleepy.

3. Widget is sleeping.

[hammerquill]

1. I forgot to return a DVD to the video store today. Guess I'll just have to watch it again...

2. When it's kept wound, my grandfather's pocketwatch seems to keep perfect time.

3. If Siriustell usually gets her Christmas shopping done by Halloween, I figured surely she'd have changed her calendars by Thanksgiving... :P

4. Happy 2004, happy Possibilities, everyone.

[Seusomon]

1. I'm drinking a mimosa

2. There are some old calendar pictures I might like to hang on the wall, but 12 x 12 frames are rather hard to find.

3. I have four wall calendars plus a datebook.

[Ishba]

1) nice frames are easy enough to make

2) I wonder if there's mail today

3) I could always go out and check :rolleyes:

[Seusomon]

1. Nice frames are easy for Insipid to make; Tom is frightened of anything more substantial than 80# card stock.

2. Despite being tired, I took a long walk in snow-covered mountains today. Now I'm more tired, but in a colder, whiter, sort of way.

3. I did two of the things I said I would do today. Not bad.

[Bugitha]

1. It snowed furiously for 7 hours today, great fat wet white flakes that blew every which way like the city was trapped under a snow globe. Oddly enough, the snow didn't stick at all.

2. I saw Cold Mountain today and was impressed by how closely the movie version stuck to the book. Even though I disliked the ending of the book, I would have disliked the movie more had they given it a happy sappy hollywood ending.

3. Ah . . . the new year. I need new wall calendar.

[bluecrayon]

I already felt a splinter heading into the new year...

love is not enough sometimes...

I am examining my motives....

[Seusomon]

~ She said, "love is only half the answer". I said "Love is half the answer".

~ Bluecrayon needs Tom's special portabella mushroom and carrot sushi roll, soon.

~ My friend, who is studying to become a minister, thinks that people who are studying to become ministers are serious disturbed. There is hope for her. :D

[bluecrayon]

johnnynobody intrigues me...

I am worried about Amylyn

I miss him....

[nymphette]

i am tired

i have no desire to go to sleep

i wonder how long i can chain game with just bluecrayon!!! :)

[gwensmom]

1. Birthdays, New Year's and any other time that causes me to reflect on my life put me in a bad mood.

2. I spent all morning at a sale in a fabric store yesterday.

3. I don't want to go back to work Monday. Usually by this time I am dying to get out of the house. Could it be that this year I have fun nervous things to do at home? :)

[Serenity]

1) I'm getting back into the nervousness programs

2) I'm starting to feel sick from not writing (make sense?!)

3) I'm anticipating returning to St.John's... right now I'm in churchill Falls, my home town, and getting rather bored out of my bloody wits! Argh! lol :)

Hugs,
Danielle

[Sirius]

1. I have had my 2004 calendars hanging behind the 2033 ones since October. Even though I don't consider myself superstitious every time I try to change the calendar early I hear my mother say"It's bad luck to change a calender early."

2. I went out to buy my Valentine's cards on Wednesday and the two stores I stopped at didn't have them out yet. They had the decorations, but not the cards.

3. I have put up my Valentine's Day decorations....

[Sirius]

1. Travelling LMAOS are like Hot Potatoes for me. I am anxious to get them out of my house. Like overdue library books.

2. I currently have one ready to send on to Siafu, but waiting for her to land from her move. It's burning a hole in my desk.

3. I dyed my hair this morning.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. sirius just reminded me to renew the library books i have out right now (due on the 4th).

2. yesterday was mom's birthday. tomorrow is dad's.

3. i'm still in my jammies.

[Sirius]

1. sunday is my brother's birthday. monday's is my mom's.

2. sometimes i think my signature lines are too long, then i see a post by thunderstorm ;)

3. i have lots of mail to send today.

[nymphette]

1: one week until harrison's first birthday!!! yay!!! i told my mom i wanted to make a big thing out of it for him... okay, for me... but anyhow....

2: julian called 911 at my mom's last night... <sigh> well, actually 91111111 was on the phone when i found him.. we were eating supper and julian was upstairs playing tonka roadway on t he computer... and then he calls downstair 'mommy!!! julian talk to lady!!!!' and i thought 'oh crap, he pressed speed dial and he's talking to my aunt/sister/grandmother/whatever'..... and i went up and saw the numbers on the phone and my heart just dropped into my stomach... and i took the phone from him and apologized and told her i dont' know how he called it (he's 3 and has never been taught the whole 911 thing!! forJUST that reason!!!) and it isn't programmed on the phone... she said 'that's okay, we haven't forwarded the call yet, so it's allright'..... i asked him 'why did you call 911???' and he said 'julian need help, computer game, julian call 911'.............................. apparently, ther is another game (or that one??) that ha a 911 button at the bottom of the game you press when you need help.... logically, he thought that if he called 911, they could help him out.... right..... he wont' be doing that again soon........... YIKES!!!

3: i haven't had anything to eat today.... just have no appetite....

[Ishba]

1) 50% off sale at michaels

2) and I still won't have enough money to get what I want to get

3) I'm going to go do some comparison shopping right now... michaels is pretty expensive

[sarahkate]

1. Julian sounds like one smart cookie! What a cutie ;) That's a good story to tell his girlfriends in the future so you can embarrass him :lol:

2. I am eating mini caramel popcorn cakes. They are good.

3. I wish I had someone to share my popcorn cakes with so I wouldn't eat the whole bag all by myself.

[nymphette]

1: i wish i could share sarahkate's mini caramel popcorn cakes!!! yummy!!!

2: julian is too smart... usually too smart for his own good.. ;)

3: today for lunch, julian asked for ham, a banana and some peanuts... what the heck i said... at least he's asking for meat, he usually doesn't... if it wasnt' for chris, we'd be a vegetarian household.... but if ihave to cook it i may as well eat it i guess.... <shrug> julian and i could live happily without.. and harrison, if he ever starts to eat by mouth, can't have protein, so......

[Seusomon]

1. I seldom flirt with waitresses, but today one caught me blissfully beaming at her as she went about her work and gave me a big bright smile.

2. I should be working on a website today.

3. I'm not, at least not yet.

[sarahkate]

1. I ate them all Robyn! :o Every single last one! Good thing they were fat free ;)

2. Now I am eating WintOgreen Lifesavers. I will probably eat all of those too.

3. I can't wait to go home. It's Friday! YAY!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I played the kevin bacon game for a loooong time this morning. Then, my hubs got into it....we've been playing pretty much non stop today.

2. My mother gave us a cutting board. It's shaped like a slice of bread :lol: It's mighty funny.

3. I think I'm going to take a nap soon. Sleep is good.

[insomnolicious]

1. I tripped down the stairs last night and landed hard on my butt/sciatic nerve and it hurts like a mother.

2. I'm wearing a robe that my friend stole from the hospital for me. I usually paint in it because it's not too heavy, I can move in it, and there are pockets.

3. I'm making postcards in between typing things here.

[medeous]

1. i was sick on new year's eve
2. i spent the morning in an urgent care facility
3. i am the proud owner of a brand new bottle of amoxicillin

[nymphette]

1: i have TWO of those wonderful robes, insomnilicious!!! i always wear one when i am creating- so i can wipe glue off on it, clean my rubber stamps and dry them on it, get paint off my hands on it, etc... :) hurrah for us!!! it just goes right into the wash when it gets too colorful!!!

2: i just remembered that in kindergarten, we used to have to bring an old long sleeved dress shirt of our dad's and put it on backwards when we painted... that was our smock back then for arts and crafts... :)

3: i am wondering why i haven't progressed further than a kindergarten level for sophistication of my choice of clothing when i paint... it bears further examination, i think!!!

:lol:

[nymphette]

1: i hope medeous is feeling better soon.. :(

2: i came into the computer room to get an address from nervousness and not to play chain games.. and i am playing chain games...

3: i forget who's address i was supposed to look up...

4: i am getting lots done today, four more packages are ready to go out!!!

[nymphette]

1: i remembered what i came on the computer for...

2: this: http://www.cheeseracing.org/ isn't it...

3: but it did make me laugh.... out loud... i scared the cat, i dont' think she'll come and use her litter box for quite some time...

[Seusomon]

1. Oh my gosh, Medeous! How miserable. Be well.

2. I'd completely forgotten the backwards dad's shirt thing until Nymphette mentioned it.

3. I was always a very literal child - bewildered at why the shirt had to be my father's and fearing what might happen to the painting if someone's else shirt were used instead.

[AlienSpy]

1. On Christmas Eve, Nicolas and I told his family that we were going to have a baby. We thought that we were going to surprise everyone. Well, it turns out that everyone was equally surprised (including us) because...

2. Out of the 6 women who were at the party, 3 of us were pregnant and we waited until December 24 to tell the others!!! Needless to say that we talked about babies all night long! Next year there will be 3 new babies for Christmas! They'll all be the same age so they'll probably play together in a couple of years!

3. Nicolas' dad did some trick with a needle, and he said that Nicolas and I were going to have a girl, Karine (my boyfriend's younger sister) was going to have another daughter with her "new" boyfriend Yvan, and Carl (my boyfriend's "cousin" - long story) and Marie-Claude were going to have a boy. I wonder if he's right!

[Sirius]

1. i had something to say but cheese racing made me forget it.

2. i had something else to say but cheese racing made me forget it.

3. #(@()@) CHEESE RACING!

[Dalmaney]

1. I was home at my parents for a whole week of overeating, oversleeping, and overlounging.
2. I was in Calgary for 5 days. I love Calgary.
3. Now I am home and it feels pretty good too.

[Seusomon]

1. BABYFEST '04!

2. I wish Hammerquill would help rescue "decisions, decisions"

3. Nymphette has me baffled again, but I think "shooters" refers to marbles, rather than intravenous drug addicts - although I don't have a top 5 either way. :(

[Dalmaney]

I haven't looked at the top 5 thread, but "shooters" could mean drinks, as in shots, like Blueberry Tea.

1. Snowboarding made muscles I never knew I had sore sore sore.
2. Despite that, I would like to go again. I think it's a sport I could not suck at.
3. I have a Wine and Cheese Awards Reception to go to in February. I should scare up at least a friend to go with.

1) Who says you can't make a nice frame out of 80# card stock?

2) My father recently told me some fairly disturbing facts about my family. They do explain a lot though :unsure:

3) I should start getting to bed earlier... school soon <_<

aren't you going to thank me for leaving that one for you, Rustell?


1. I've felt bluecrayonish most of the day.

2. My Anglo-Saxon is surprisingly rusty

3. I'm thinking of an evil French monkey, with pyrotechnics, consuming both wine and cheese. *^* shudder *^*
