Three random facts:

[cindi1023]

1. I'm getting confused by the number of new avatars people are now sporting.... it's very disconcerting.

2. If you couldn't tell before, I'm not big on change... :P

3. The uninterrupted power supply under my desk just started beeping like crazy.... What the hell? It's too early in the morning to be messing with this!

[bluecrayon]

1. Back to work I go today.

2. It is so cold in my house at 6am that I am wearing gloves and a cap

3. I have missed the kids I work with so I am excited to be reentering my real world...

1) it may have been that way for the past few days... I've been busy moving (rooms, not houses)... but somehow I don't think we've created 4 pages of new chaingames in that amount of time. also, there seem to be some threads I don't recall seeing. Perhaps there have always been 8 pages of chaingames and my computer chose to only show me four?
1. You are right Insipid, there are now 8 pages of chain games. I think some of the older games that hadn't been posted in in a while were moved by the BoD to the archives, or whatever you want to call it, but now they are all back in the regular Q&Q section, so they must have been un-archived! And there have been a lot of chain games created lately too, so a combination of the two led to 8 pages of Q&Q...wow....we are some Q&Q freaks here :lol:

2. I have 6 pages of posts to catch up on. That's what I get for not logging into N'ness ALL weekend.

3. I love LOTS & LOTS of Nervousness stuff that I am catching up on. I hate when I am late with N'ness projects. <_<

[sarahkate]

Ooops...double post...

n'ness must be all screwy- because it didn't look like my post went through..so I posted it again..but...ah...oh well..

[stargal1998]

1. I dusted my desk at work.

2. I just realized I need to buy the 2004 Get Fuzzy desk calendar, as I am calendar-less.

3. I did a lot of art this weekend, and it bodes well for the new year...

[sarahkate]

ooops...triple post! (ignore this!!)

[thunderstorm_19]

1. stargal just made *me* want a get fuzzy calendar!

2. that is true, even though i already have a calendar for this year.

3. it snowed last night. just like it was supposed to.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. we had a toilet leak! Gah! water started dripping off the light on our porch (toilet is directly above said porch).

2. i have to majorly clear out/clean up down here, and in my room.

3. i'd love to have my very own special avatar.

[stargal1998]

1. I think I see Thunderstorm's avatar as a thunder storm/bolt and then the number 19... It would be animated, and really cool.

2. I found 11 cents in my desk drawer today--woo HOO!

3. One of our clients is being really demanding, and they sent up a list of things we need to do for their website. Most of the things require them to do things, which we've asked them to do but that they haven't done. I actually caught my boss getting really mad at them, and then he calmed down. He's normally a really calm person, but he said he was tired of them pulling this kind of thing... :-)

[Seusomon]

1. I'm back to work today

2. I didn't fall asleep until after 2 am last night, and it was difficult waking up

3. I think it's going to be an interesting year

[littlest-bee]

1. I ate a middle eastern pastry with my afternoon tea (honey and pistachios and flaky pastry - oh my!) and it was yummy!

2. I'm being antisocial at work - I work in an office with just 3 other people and I've put my headphones in so I have an excuse to not talk to anyone or answer the phone - I know they hate it when I do this but they also know it helps me concentrate so they don't complain.

3. I somehow managed to lose weight over Christmas despite the fact I ate exactly what I wanted and didn't go to the gym once!

[stargal1998]

1. I am envious of littlest-bee.

2. I've been watching Profiler on DVD while I work out.

3. Sam chewed through his leash last night, cleanly. So, because he has a bridle-like harness that doesn't let him pull (thank you Petsmart), I'm able to walk him on the cat's leash.

[cindi1023]

1. I (along with my 5 extra holiday pounds) are also envious of littlest-bee....

2. I can't seem to get motivated to do much of anything at work today...

3. The Monday blahs are taking over....

[freckledcutie]

1. I haven't been around much because of the computer caused me pain

2. I think I still need some time off

3. I do love this site but I also need to heal

bonus

4. I hope if I still slack a bit then ya'll won't forget about me

[Seusomon]

1. Good to see you again, freckledcutie - no, don't think we'll forget

2. Since I'm back at work, it seems like the "rest of the gang" ought to have returned to the boards today. I miss them.

3. I've been saving my stamps, so I get a free sub at Subway today!

[littlest-bee]

- I'm feeling like a big show off for saying I lost weight over Christmas - eep! Please don't think I was trying to make you all feel bad. :o

- I think Freckledcutie is adorable and hope she feels better soon

- I have a new daily dairy to fill out tonight with all my addresses and birthdays and other important details - this makes me sillyly happy!

[nymphette]

1: i hae never eaten at subway... everyone tells me they are good but i am a california sub gal... !!!

2: i am trying to find a protein free icing and protein free cake recipe for harrison's birthday cake for next weekend... though i admit, i am playing more chain games than doing any REAL searching for them.... ;)

3: chris forgot to bring in a water bottle two nights ago when we filled our water cooler bottles... now we have a broken water bottle- the bottom actually exploded off of it!!! it's been minus 48 with windchill the past couple days....

4 <bonus> i decided to 'go on a diet'..... not sure what that means this time around, but hopefully it'll go okay... i gained a whopping 2 pounds over christmas so i am not concerned about that... i just think i need to be healthier.... hm

[Dalmaney]

1. I have just completed my first day of school of the term and now have to decide if I'm revamping my schedule or not.

2. My profs actually seem decent... so far. One is brand new to the uni, and therefore a wildcard. She gets one bonus point from me for being female... the only female prof I'm likely to have this semester. I bet she's a grad student.

3. I forgot to stop at the post office, and I'm not going back outside. I'll mail tomorrow.

[stargal1998]

1. I really hope the mail comes pretty soon. I am still waiting on a few ebay and other things...

2. I miss watching 'The A-Team.'

3. I have a sinking feeling that I may be going to a funeral soon... My boyfriend's sister's fiancee has had another stroke, now he's paralyzed below the neck and they moved him fulltime into hospice. Nick said they gave him 5 days yesterday.

[nymphette]

1: hugs to stargal... what t thing for all of you to be going through... :(

2: i am making pea soup for lunch and have no desire to eat any... hm

[thunderstorm_19]

1. NO MAIL for me today, but mail for everyone else who lives in this house!!!

2. Bad Cat.

3. want a Pita. With extra feta, honey mustard, tzatziki sauce, tomato, onion, lettuce, salt and pepper, alphalpha sprouts, and bacon.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i want to be on the top posters list today.

2. I got up at 11:30 pm last night to come down here, turn the comp back on, and renew library books which i had forgotten to renew, and thought they were due back yesterday, and would therefore start accumulating fines today. Found out when I did that that they weren't due until the 7th.

3. sharpies. i love sharpies.

[stargal1998]

1. I don't think I've ever had pea soup.

2. I have terrible fines at the library, but am planning to pay them all on payday.

3. I bought a silver sharpie last week... I love it...

[stargal1998]

1. Someone has posted over 70 posts today. And they seem to frequent this board, so I wonder who it could be... :P

2. I've only just broken the 20 post mark. I am such a slacker.

3. I started writing again last night, and it felt awesome...

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i think i'll send some postcards to some friends for universal letter writing week... just before the rates go up... hehehhe...

2. my cat (well, one of two) wants to go out, but i opened the door a while ago for him, when i got the mail, and he bolted upstairs because he didn't like the cold and snow!

3. papier mache's fun!

[stargal1998]

1. I forgot about Universal Letter Writing week, and I first posted about it!

2. I have some serious nness stuff to do tonight.

3. I love the Hokey Pokey.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. I just became aware of a slight 'lapping' noise, below me, and looked down the find the same cat as mentioned before drinking the dregs of the soup I had for lunch (i put the bowl down there out of my way b/c there's a lot of other junk on this desk).

2. I'm going to try to make him go out.

3. i still have a slight cough from when i was sick over xmas. i keep wondering it i should take something, opening my bottle of buckley's, reminding myself how awful it tastes, and refusing to take it.

[cindi1023]

1. I'm feeling very guilty.... I owe thunderstorm_19 a seriously overdue exchange..... I have no excuse other than complete disorganization....

2. For the record, I have begun a new system for 2004 for keeping up with projects/deadlines.

3. and I'm working on getting all those late things out.... slowly but surely.....

[stargal1998]

1. I've started using index cards to keep track of my projects.

2. I think I have serious mail issues. I really want some mail.

3. I miss being a kid.

[nymphette]

1: i usually LOVE pea soup... <shrug> just for some reason dont' feel like it today... hm.

2: i am having a salad with lettuce, green onions, tomatoes, red peppers, bean sprouts and a tiny bit of ham... with ranch dressing of course......

3: this should be in what's on the menu...

[Dalmaney]

1. I just turned my philosophy class into a gender studies class... so I will have two women prof's this semester. I also switched a lab section so I'm in the second week and turned my 830 math class into a 1230 math class so I can sleep in and have the same prof as last semester.

2. I also just lied to someone and said I was done at one tomorrow, instead of a more likely five.

3. I tried to switch lab sections to fix that... but I couldn't. I'll call him back in a couple hours and explain that I only lie by accident. And I'd much rather hang out with him that have a problem lab on the second day of school. Ick Ick Ick.

[stargal1998]

1. I didn't like my philosophy class. I think it was too abstract for me. Plus, our prof. jumped around conflict of opinion rather than try to have an intellectual discussion about it.

2. Said prof. was reallly nice, though.

3. Looking back, college was pretty okay sometimes.

[thunderstorm_19]

3. My desk looks pretty empty.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

2. In a couple weeks I may be gone for a while. This means I may have to drop off of some lmaos. It makes me sad.

3. I don't like today very much. I hope this day gets better real soon.

[stargal1998]

1. I hope everything is going to be okay for you, Death or Aldona. :-)

2. My head hurts.

3. I didn't get what I was expecting in the mail, but i did get some very cool atcs for my ATC trade LMAO...

[nymphette]

1: three years ago, walmart's mail-out to kodak photo service LOST three out of four of our christmas pictures... :( they were very important because they were julian's first christmas pictures and that is why we had them sent out- we wanted them done properly, not by the fifteen year old kids they had working at the in-store one hour thing.... and they lost them... they said, after much work by me of trying to trace them, and calling long distance to the differents places and numbers they said 'may' be able to help, 'the best we can do is giv eyou three free rolls of film to replace the ones we lost'.... i told the manager to shove his film up his a$$ because there is no way to replace the pictures on the film they lost!!!!!!!! all four rolls were sent together... how could the lost three out of four??? hm

2: this year, the roll of film i had in my camera got half exposed- i went to finish the roll two days ago so we could develop all our christmas pics, and the camera was back to 's' (meaning beginning of the roll) and partially opened.... :( so i rewound the film and chris took it in with the other... there were only 8 pictures salvaged...

3: i wish i had a digital camera.................

4: anyone have one they want to sell????

[Seusomon]

[Seusomon]

1. I topped 5000 posts without even noticing.

2. It was 8 degrees Fahrenheit when I left home this morning.

3. I don't seem to own a red ball-point pen.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I'm sure everything will be fine. I tend to freak out easily. It's just been a weird day...I'm in a weird mood...It'll pass. If I end up having to take another break from nness it will only be for a week or so. It's nothing serious really. Just some stressful pooh that confuses and weirds me out. :P

2. I'm on top of nness things right now. I'm finally all caught up with everything. I even found a little bit of inspiration the other day. It was sooo nice to spend a day getting sucked into atcs and the like.

3. Oh #3 how you taunt me. I never no what to say for the 3rd fact. I don't think 3 is my lucky number

[gwensmom]

1. I am so pumped because I got a very cool retro lamp at a thrift store today for $10.00. My father-in-law will fix the plug and we will need a new shade. But the thing is so perfect for my house!

2. My sister send me a few yards of gorgeous woven chenille today. The chenille is a coppery color with some thin threads of green, purple and red woven in. I can make some people some really excellent Christmas gifts next year. Hats, scarves, purses- woo hoo!

3. Gwensdad is looking at digital cameras and scanners :)

<3 to D_O_A and Stargal

[Seusomon]

1. Driving home today, I was treated to the most vibrant, sensual sunset I've seen in months. I love this world.

2. Logged on just now and saw that bluecrayon had posted to the picture thread - false alarm. :( :angry: :lol:

3. I'm really not sure I'll be ready to go to Russia in 2 weeks.

[cerwinrhiannon]

1. I'm going to Russia too! (this summer)

2. I hate my job.

3. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

[jonnynobody]

1. I'm going to Russia too! (this summer)'

1 > I wanna go to Russia. My grandparents on my mom's side are there.

2 > I got two new playstation 2 games: Grand Theft Auto 3 & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.

3 > Today we went off break back to school. When I got my class list, I found out I have B-2 (tomorrow, cuz today was A-day) with the girl who tore my heart out on our 2 year anniversary. :(

[bluecrayon]

1. My major curiosity now is whether or not Tom will send me a postcard from Russia! :D

2. I am making brownies which I will not eat but force everyone around me to eat!

3. I am waiting with sighs and a certain anxiety for February and a visit.... yikes.

[Seusomon]

1. Do they have monkey postcards in Russia? :D

2. There are random sesame seeds on the table near my computer and I don't know why, although logic says I must be responsible. :unsure:

3. I figured out what to do for the full moon - but not sure it's a good idea. :unsure: :unsure:

1. There's no magic recipe for dealing with that. Never has been, never will. One day at a time.

2. I took two more silly photos of myself with my digital camera tonight. Are they avatar material? Only Photoshop knows....

3. My prescription for bluecrayon: 12,713 deep breaths before February.

[Sirius]

1. Rustell is all monkey obsessed
Thinks cheese is a photo-op best
But she is through and through
The cute kangaroo
We'll soon put her patience to test

- I am pondering this.

2. I received a checkbook today, with my name on it, from my bank, but with account numbers that do not match my accounts. I am suddenly paranoid that someone has opened an account in my name. Wonder if they deposited lots of money?

3. My call is very important to them. I should continue to hold for the next available representative.

[Ishba]

1) mmm... my parents are buying me a computer (I'm still pondering where the money is coming from :blink: ), and my brother picked it out for me (he's a professional 'puter-picker-outer assistant :lol: ), which means it's going to be really nice. I'll finally have a fully functioning CD burner... look out music PIF threads, here I come!

2) I should not have napped during the day today. Now I'll never get to sleep on time

3) Hopefully I can catch up on trades/ PIFs this weekend now that the moving thing is settled down a bit. still so much to do though <_<

[medeous]

1. i see bare desk on each side of my keyboard, and this is surely a sign of the apocalypse.

2. nan is wearing scuba gear in the tub; for this reason i don't care that she is up an hour past her bedtime.

3. i could use a snow day.

[bluecrayon]

1. I would like to tell him I am ready to find my keys and maps...

2. I would like to be 12 years back in time...

3. I would like to be less blue, more pink....

[Cuilanië]

- I got up very early today - 4:30 am. This is because I fell asleep during the afternoon yesterday and didn't bother to get up when I woke at 11 pm.

- Maybe this will help me deal with jetlag better - I'm hoping...

- It's still very strange to be up before the sun... Feels more like late night.


Bonus - the keyboard shift is driving me crazy again... :rolleyes:

[nymphette]

1: i finished my artistic survivor questions tonight.... if you knew how many times i had to rewrite just THAT sentence there ^ you would wonder, as i am, why i didn't wait until i was rested!!!!

2: i am baking bread as we speak... because obsessive compulsions don't have a bedtime....

3: i have a sore in my cheek at the back and i keep biting it!!! ouch!!! so it is swollen from being bitten and getting bitten because it is swollen.... <_<

[nymphette]

!: and i am still awake.. and still sitting here playing chain games.... i wish i had time like this during the day when there were more people here.. it's just me and chunkmonkey right now!!!!

2: i am going to be very tired tomorrow..........

3: i think i need some tea... and then i can go to bed....

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. Bah! It's snowing like crazy! :P

2. I'm working on mix cds :) I wish I was better at making mix cds...very few people seem to like them :P

3. If my hubs ever makes a sci-fi cartoon or show I get to be the voice of the computer :D

[cindi1023]

1. <---------This is my 1000th post! *does a little dance* I've only been a member since October, so I'm catching up on all you old-timers.... watch your backs! :ph34r:

2. I'm oddly obsessed with my ranking in the postings. It's like I'm having my own little private competition that no one else knows about, except now I've just told you all!

3. I'm feeling a little loopy this morning.... time for some coffee.

heh heh!!! but who's Kittymao???? ;)

[stargal1998]

1. It snowed and iced over a LOT last night.

2. I've officially been working at my job for a year today.

3. I'm debating on climbing under my desk and napping.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I feel completely overwhelmed and it's all my fault.

-2- I barely did any nervousness stuff over break even though that was supposed to be my goal.

-3- I miss everyone, but I still need to do a lot of work at work. :(

[sarahkate]

1. We have missed you lots too, Heather! :) I'm very glad to see you back!

2. I think I am going to create my own "keeping track" thread for the forums finally. I need a place to keep myself organized. I am always worried that I am going to forget to do something Nervousness-related.

3. My whole life needs a lot of organizing. I am not one for New Year's resolutions, but I am making an exception this year...... so hopefully I will be a much more organized person by the end of 2004.

Same here, absolutely. Actually, I didn't do much with LMAOs over break, but I did make a huge dent in organizing my nervousness stuff. Since I took back my 100+ library books, I had room on my bookshelf.

Shelf 1: LMAOs in my possession.
Shelf 2: Art supplies (this is still in total disarray and needs more management).
Shelf 3: Packing supplies.

I think I am going to make a keeping track thread, too, sk. I am just embarrassed about how much stuff will have to go on there!

[stargal1998]

1. I didn't make a resolution this year, I'm just going along with my life and finding things I need to work on and making an honest effort.

2. After tearing it apart twice, I think I finally found a suitable scarf pattern and am following through with it for my aunt.

3. I got another sewing machine from Nick's grandma, and it looks like this one might be pre 1940s.

[Christine_0701]

1. It's a snow day today
2. That also means I have to wait till tomorrow to get groceries
3. ^^^ Means I have ritz cheese sandwich snack packs and porridge to eat till tomorrow.

[stargal1998]

1. I think I am going to run to the grocery store to pick up something for lunch.
2. I'm going to call singer and ask them how old the sewing machine I got from Nick's grandma is.
3. Is it too early to call it a day??? :-P

[Seusomon]

1. My computer keyboard at work is really old and dirty.

2. I get vaccinated in about a half hour. :o

3. I put up my 2004 We'Moon calendar at work this morning.

[hainlam]

1. the windchill is negative 15 degrees
2. my feet did not thaw out until 10:30am
3. I hate cold weather.. curses..

edited to say.. vaccinated for what??

[stargal1998]

1. I got one of those book club catalogs yesterday, and it featured four or five books on nekkid women and guns, tanks and other combat-related items. I guess they're trying to corner the market on what to get for the person who has everything...

2. I love otterpops.

3. Until I was 9, I never knew that Nestle Quik came in a sweetened flavor, I'd always had sugar-free.

[Cuilanië]

- Sharky and Christine are back!! :D :wub:

- I need to go eat dinner, but I don't know what I'm really interested in eating. Guess it'll be either pasta or soup... :lol: :rolleyes:

- I go back to work tomorrow. :( :huh: My boss actually called to make sure I was coming back... <_< :o

[cindi1023]

1. My eyes are achy and bleary from staring at my computer screen so intently lately.

2. About a month ago, I was bitching about my job making me stuipd (I do a lot of brainless tasks on a day-to-day basis).... I finally talked to my boss about it. Now we're re-evaluating everyone's workload & reassigning duties. Will this mean less time for chain games! OH NO! :unsure:

3. Seems like I'm having a hard time coming up with 3 bits of randomness lately. Is 2004 going to be less random than 2003 for me? :P

[Cuilanië]

- I'm wondering if I can make 3000 posts tonight. :rolleyes: :blink:

- I shouldn't, I'm supposed to be working on some stuff... ^_^ But I can't post from work at all anymore... :( Not even one tiny little post.

- I have received a completely unexpected gift today. :wub: :wub: :wub:

[nymphette]

1 i am rather tired today... cn't imagine why...

2 julian is running aorund, pretending to weild a dword (it's really a dowel he stole from his mom's craft supplies.. :angry: ) and yelling 'where are you poppet??!!!' i'm no t the one who let him watch it......

3 i am going out for a drink or two with my best friend, whom i haven't seen for two months, as soon as chris gets home from work.... and sushi... :)

[hainlam]

1.. I think it is quite possible that Cuilanie can reach 3000 posts by tonight..
2.. I need to buy somemore felt for some projects.. but it is soo very cold..
3.. I am looking foward to the heat wave tomorrow.. the high is 30.. yippeee!!!

[Cuilanië]

- Thanks Aimee for the support! :)

- If it could be done instantly, I would send you some felt I have left over from a project... ;)

- Enjoy your sushi, Robyn!! :D

[gwensmom]

1. I got my hair cut and styled and I almost look hip.

2. Almost because I (at age 41 :huh: ) have a zit right on the end of my nose.

3. Gwensdad's dog hurt his leg last night and is limping very pitifully. :( Gwensdad came home early to take him to the vet.

[Seusomon]

1. Vaccinated for: hepatitis booster, tetanus - for my trip to Russia

2. The nurse was really good. It didn't hurt at all :)

3. I think there should be a universal labor code guaranteeing access to chain games - they're good for morale, no?

[Cuilanië]

- It's strange not to wear my winter coat or my boots to go out, and not to have to worry about ice on the sidewalk...

- The weather here is so mild, my Montréal-bred weather sense tells me it ought to be April already...

- April is still three months away. That is not a comforting thought.

[nymphette]

1: i was puttiing my hair in rollers and plucking my eyebrows and julian was watching.. he said 'what doin' mommy???' and i said 'i am making myself pretty' and he gave me a funnylook and said 'mommy, ARE pretty'.... :wub: i love kids... the difference between your babies and your hubby- hubby may love you but he wont' call you 'pretty' when you're plucking, exfoliating, shaving, waxing, or any other thing we do do conform our bodies and their parts!!!!

2: i really just want to have a nap right now but if i do then nothing will get done (<snort> like anything's getting done while i sit here??? ;)) and then i won't be able to go out tonight with a clear conscience....

3: i'll go out without a clear conscience if that is the case... makes no never mind to me...

[hainlam]

1.. I have never been to Russia
2.. Seems like an interesting place to go
3.. I will probably never see Russia

[Cuilanië]

- It's been years and years since I listened to ...And Justice For All. Not one track under 5 minutes...

- Russia is a country I would like to visit, but they need to straighten out their politics first... <_<

- My roommate will be home soon. My goal of 3000 posts seems far away suddenly.

[Dalmaney]

1. I had my first lab of the semester today.
2. I am officially scared again. Not a bad way to be if you're me.
3. I am waiting for Jordan to pick me up. Also not a bad way to be if you're me.

1. I've always told women they were beautiful at times like that (because they are!) - but it's more often met with bewilderment than appreciation. :huh:

2. I've spent weeks helping to plan an event I won't be able to attend.

3. I still haven't done my laundry.

[Christine_0701]

I went and picked up my packages today, and was wonderfully surprised

I ate some jelly beans

My roommate went out and said she'd pick up some food stuffs for me, until I can go grocery shopping tomorrow

[hainlam]

1... I feel over-worked and under-appreciated.. very fitting for the Forbes article.. something like.. I do the work of 3 people and only got a 3% raise
2.. am seriously considering taking a course in medical coding.. and working at home on nights and weekends in addition to this job
3.. I have done my laundry.. but haven't folded it..

[nymphette]

1: laundry?? woops!!! i better get that done before i go...

2: i am excited to be going out tonight.. no kids, no hubby, just me and my best friend (for 17 years or so... :)) like old times.. except she's married.. and i am married with children.. and neither of us really drink anymore..... we used to get into such trouble!!! her (then)boyfriend and chris used to threaten to tail us when we went 'out for a few' because we'd always get into trouble and tell them about it after... heh

3: seusomon is sweet to say that unready/getting ready women are pretty... my husband says i am 'all the time', but he has to because he sleeps in my bed... heh heh... *I* am always appreciative of compliments, though sometimes i don't accept them well i admit... hm

[Seusomon]

1. It is so much fun to have everyone playing here again! :wub: :wub: :wub:

2. I like doing dishes more than I like doing laundry

3. That might be different if I didn't have to do it at a laundromat.

[hainlam]

1.. I have a friend like that too.. we go out for 2 drinks every once in a while.. we say 2.. because we only count the first and the last

2. I am ready to go home.. only 30 more minutes

3.. My favorite cosmetic is an eye lash curler.. even though that isn't really a cosmetic

[Cuilanië]

- I almost never wear makeup.

- When I do, it's usually just outlining my eyes with a pencil and a bit of mascara, both dark brown.

- I'm really out of things to post when I start talking about the colour of my hypothetical makeup...

^_^

2. Hainlam needs to be sure she has two rubber bands at home

3. I am going to win the HGTV dream house this year

LOLOLOLOL!!!!! :lol:

- I must face it - I won't make it to 3000 tonight. I'm completely out of shape.

- I was supposed to finish a couple of projects tonight. Not even close.

- It's strange to be listening to Metallica tonight, and strangely familiar. My life is full of strangeness... Must be the monkeys.

[Ishba]

1) methinks I failed my Psych test today <_<

2) It's snowing again <_< <_<

3) I think I put something in my mailbox thismorning without an address on it. Hopefully the PO will utilize the return address <_< <_< <_<

1. I don't have to say it, do I?

2. I'm going to go home early tonight - maybe do laundry?

3. It's dismal going to the laundromat in the evening, when it gets dark so early.

[kittymao]

I had a ravaging headache last night coupled with the sneezies and a sore throat, so I took some tylenol PM's cause I was going to go to bed anyway. The problem was that the PM part works too well, but they Tylenol part works terribly. I went to bed at midnight and awoke at 2 pm, and I still had a headache.

after a small serving of chocolate peanut butter ice cream, my headache has subsided. I desire more sugar snacks- a bacth of orange cinnamon rolls beckon me to bake them.

I think I'm starting to like this cooking thing. I assisted in making spaghetti last night- it's like doing crafty stuff, except you get to eat it. yummers.

1. I was taking a big sip of water when I read this, and spit it all over my computer screen.

2. Then I heard a big crash coming from outside the room.

3. Upon investigation of the major rooms in the house, I couldn't find anything amis, only 3 very guilty looking kitties. On my way back to the computer, I found the source of the crash in our guest bathroom.... "Someone" pulled down the shower curtain and rod. I just walked out of the room and left it for the cats' "daddy" to handle when he gets home from work....

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i was up on the top posters list today for a little bit... 21 posts... but i've been taken over...

2. guinness is good for me. no really, it has iron in it!

3. dinner's ready!

[cindi1023]

1. "Daddy" came home and dealt with the above-mentioned kitty badness... by locking the culprit in the coat closet briefly (totally accidentally, of course!)

2. We've decided what probably happened is that our baby cat is anxious to run away and join the circus, so she's trying to perfect her high-wire act before packing up and leaving us.

3. I think I need some sleep..... :P

[Sirius]

I'll use my little bit o NNESS time to consume Random Fact space.

1. I wear a bit of eyeliner, because other wise when I see my reflection I think I look sleepy. Then I get sleepy. Then I want to sleep.

2. I wear lipstick, when really chapstick would do. I just don't like the dry lip feeling.

3. I had a whole thing typed about moist lips but it sounded in appropriate.

[Ishba]

1) I agree wholeheartedly... I actually just got a Guinness postcard calendar for over half off because the year already started :rolleyes:

2) My brother's girlfriend has been known to make fun of me for having mostly black clothing, which is really mainly because a) I couldn't match colours if my life depended on it and B) I'm just a messy person, and stains make me belligerent

3) She also asks to borrow said black clothing on a regular basis when she goes to "the goth club". Apparently the new "thing" is for preppy rich girls to dress up "gothy" and act depressed :huh:

bonus fact: seeing as she's quite a few sizes bigger than me, she either whines/laughs at me when I offer her something that won't fit her, or, alternatively, I get said items back, stretched beyond repair, 2 years later when my brother is moving back in and is nice enough to bring them with him. (yes... this has happened before <_< )

[Sirius]

1. I bought an extremely obnoxious monkey today.

2. He is white, with red lip prints on his face, and he has velcro hands so he can hang from things.

3. He sings "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that Swing" while his legs dance around.

[Sirius]

1. I am actually wearing all black today.

2. I wore all black throughout sophmore-senior year of high school.

3. I still have a lot of black clothes in my closet.

[cindi1023]

1. I have perpetually rosy cheeks (and not the cute type.... the kind that look like I've been out in the freezing cold for too long...), so I've had to start wearing more makeup... Thank goodness for the people who started selling this green gel/lotion/creme stuff to even out "rosy" complexions.... I almost look normal now! :P But then I have to wear foundation, and if I'm going to all that trouble, I might as well wear eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, & lipstick.... but just a little of each!

2. I just realized that I haven't changed the calendar over in this room yet.... in fact, it hasn't been changed since August!

3. I'm feeling totally apathetic about putting away my Christmas decorations. As of this moment, I only have one box packed away.... Maybe I'll just leave them up all year.... Who'll notice? No one ever comes and visits us, because everyone we know is allergic to our kitties....

[cindi1023]

1. I wonder where Sirius found such an obnoxious monkey (mainly because I'd like to have one! :P)

2. I really need to log off and get some work done before the television starts calling to me.....

3. Well.... TV isn't calling, hubby is.... so I'm logging off.... really.... I won't be back tonight..... really.... :rolleyes: I swear! (**I don't believe me, either!)**)

[Sirius]

1. Walmart had the obnoxious monkeys.

2. I think I saw something similar at Kay-bee as well, but I didn't have the opportunity to stop.

3. Obnoxious monkey was only about $10.00.

[bluecrayon]

I went out and walked at midnight last night because I couldn't sleep...

I am tired today because of that walk... I get up at 5:30am every morning.

Fatigue makes me loopier than I already am and I kind of want to sit on someone's lap for awhile.... hmmm.

1. I used to have some in purple to even out sallow complexions

2. Gwensdad's poor old dog has a bad case of arthritis in his front leg. :( It is hard for him to hobble around because he already has it in one of his hind legs.

3. My boss ( and good friend) is having a birthday tomorrow and I am sitting here without a gift. I can't even think up anything to make real quick. Eek!

[Seusomon]

1. Anne-Marie and I searched the Santa Fe Walmart for a monkey for the cheese project, and found nothing, obnoxious or otherwise. :(

2. I posted on "Nervousness News"/"Protection" tonight. I'm sad, frustrated, and upset.

3. I still haven't done laundry, but there are chain games here!

[cindi1023]

1. I lied.... I'm back.... but only for a bit.... I promise! :rolleyes:

2. I read Seusomon's post(s) on Protection -- very elequently put. Here, here!

3. I'm gathering my thoughts for an "I agree with Seusomon" post.... they're scattered (my thoughts) tonight, so it may be tomorrow.... but it's coming! **HUGS to Seusomon**

[cindi1023]

1. I'm not allowed to shop at Walmart (I work in a Union benefit office, and since Walmart is adamantly anti-union, we're not allowed to go... I even have "Stop Walmart" buttons around here somewhere....)

2. However, I can't stop hubby from going there, so maybe he'll be sent on a monkey-hunt tomorrow evening....

3. I wonder if he'll play along?!?!

[Seusomon]

1. When I was in college, I had a whole routine going with my best friend about Wal-Mart, how they are evil incarnate, how the greeters are "flesh golems" (we were big D&Ders at the time)...

2. When he helped me repair my car once, he remarked that sometimes you just have to buy a part, not because it really matters, but because Satan requires the sacrifice.

3. We went to Wal-Mart to get some kind of metal thing or other, and I wrote on the memo line of the check "Satanic sacrifice". The poor checker turned white, and her jaw dropped. We didn't explain, just mumbled "it's OK - handle it like other checks"

[medeous]

1. i got new tires
2. i like carpenters
3. i always sit by ed at lunch and trade him my rice crispie treat for his chili cheese fritos

[hammerquill]

1. I finally got my brake drums turned and put new brake pads on my car today.
2. True to Murphy's Law, it actually started to rain as I was returning with the brake drums, but I glared at it, and it stopped.
3. I have a possible lead on a source for this plastic material I've been looking for for months... I really look forward to doing more with it.

[Christine_0701]

1. i have to get up early tomorrow...probably only to find campus closed again
2. i hope it's not, because then i can go get food
3. my roommate picked up a few things for me when she went out, so i have some food

[Seusomon]

1. The very first LP I ever bought was The Carpenters ("When I was young I listened to the radio...") I loved Karen's voice.

2. I'm exuberant, authentic, salacious, silly, and addicted to you all. I hope I've never offended with my peculiar brand of honesty.

3. I don't date women who wear makeup. I don't like the taste. :P :P :o :P :P :D

[medeous]

1. i want to gather my friends in my hand, untangle their knots and weave them together into a blanket to keep me warm.

2. i found out today that two more of my acquaintances are pregnant and i am being good about not thinking mean, jealous thoughts.

3. i'm a pretty nice person for the most part and i think my flashes of spite and hatefulness are mostly caused by jealousy, which is a rather difficult thing to accept about myself. i'd like to be above that.

[Dalmaney]

1. The boy I like likes me too.
2. I have never ever had a boy I like like me too.

Aw!!!! :)

[nymphette]

1: i think dalmaney's evening with jordan must have went well... ;)

2: my evening was very fun... and i found the monkey to beat all monkeys... alas, i was short one camera and some cheese... luckily, krystal, my best friend, thinks monkey and cheese are quite amusing together, so now we have a mission for next week....

3: i had an incredible bento box for supper.... it was wonderful!!! krystal and i bitched allthrough our meal about our men and their eating habits.... and promisd we'd go out for sushi at least once a month together!!!

[Dalmaney]

1. I am going to have to make it through today on smiles and caffiene, cause sleep was not my friend last night.
2. I am five hours and three classes away from having a "what the heck are we doing with us" conversation. Why do I question my ability to concentrate on school?
3. I am still grinning like an idiot.

[Christine_0701]

1. I woke up early only to find out campus and facilities are closed
2. This means another day without going grocery shopping
3. That means I get to eat english muffins, a pack of noodles, and jelly bellys

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i received a traveling LMAO today

2. the person before me posted that it was sent back in october

3. if that's accurate, i wonder what adventures this object's been on between leaving her in october and reaching me now

[medeous]

1. courts have forced MoDoT to allow the ku klux klan to "adopt a highway" for cleaning and have their name on the sign.

2. one of third graders asked me today if the klan was coming back to kill people and how could he be safe from them and would they wear robes so he could recognize them and would they try to burn his house.

3. there are times when i feel very thankful yet guilty about growing up safe and privileged...this was one of those times.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. medeous's post made my heart sink

2. I don't think it will ever stop snowing

3. our pipes are frozen and we don't know what to do

[thunderstorm_19]

1. medeous' post is so sad.

2. i love sending mail.

3. i love getting mail.

[Seusomon]

1. Dalmaney: :D

3. I'm attracted to small shiny objects.

3. I've been trying to talk myself out of taking a nap

[hainlam]

1.. the trying to be productive today.. isn't really working as planned
2.. am wondering what kind of dog is in Medeous' avatar.. ?
3. I wish I had a dog..

[Christine_0701]

1. i've decided that when i have my own place, i want a dog instead of a cat
2. i've always wanted to get a cat
3. i wonder why i've just all of a sudden changed my mind

[hainlam]

1.. cats are too stuck up for my liking..
2... I have had 4 cats and loved them all
3.. I have had 3 dogs.. and they have all been in love with me..

(i think that is the difference between dogs and cats.. cats love you.. and dogs are in love with you)

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- Catching up on my RAOK club duties made me breathe a sigh of relief just now.

-2- Today is Lily's first birthday! Happy Birthday baby Lily! (My best friend's daughter.)

-3- I like dogs and cats equally well, but Chris hates/fears dogs, so I will never have a dog.

[cindi1023]

1. I am a cat person. Dogs are too needy for my taste.... I like the independence of cats. They have their own bathroom, they bathe themselves, etc....

2. I think the above-statement goes along with my not wanting to have kids, either. I'm not a nurturer.... I mean, I love my cats, but for the most part they take care of themselves! Kids, like dogs, need you to do something other than just feed and love them! :P

3. I didn't have my first cup of coffee today until after lunch, and now I'm nursing a lack-of-caffiene headache....

[shelleym]

1. I have two cats. Both are named Buford. (They never come when you call them anyway so who cares what their names are.)

2. I received some startlingly ugly flowers for my birthday this week.

3. I'm still grateful to get them even though I put them way up high where I wouldn't have to see them. :lol:

[Sirius]

1. I heard the story about the KKK adopt a highway a long time ago...as I understood it, in "retaliation" the DOT renamed the highway after Rosa Parks.

2. I also heard that the KKK lost the adopt a highway priveledge because they were not keeping it clean as required by the program.

3. I wonder is medeous's story is about something different than what I heard.

[Sirius]

1. I created a website. I used front page which made it easier, but I am still happy about it.

2. I start back to school on Jan 17th...i'm taking 11 credits while working full-time...you may not see me as much as you are used to...

3. I am on the verge of becoming negative-feedback queen as I have a lot that needs to be given out and I am thinking it's time I break down and do it...

[Dalmaney]

1. I indeed was not interested at all in school today, but I still went to all my classes. Fear is the best motivator. ;)

2. I am eating my lunch and then catching the bus again.

3. :D

[Ishba]

1) I have a sore throat

2) I have had an excrutiatingly painful callus/blister on my foot for several months

3) I arranged an appointment with my nurse practitioner tomorrow, but they're probably going to have to do something painful to remedy it... like poking it with sharp objects <_<

1. Oh no. I am cowering. Sirius owes me some bad feedback for still not having sent my Driving Tunes CDs.

2. I wonder if Sirius ever got a cheese monkey book in the mail.

3. I can't wait to be a good egg again. I am working my a$$ off! I swear I am.

[hainlam]

1. I think I am chickening out of the monkey cheese project.. I have not attempted to do it.

2. I am kind of running behind on projects, but luckily I am not signed up for many.. if I get my a$$ in gear when I get home, I should be able to finish them up

3. I just remembered a dental appointment this month.. and feel the need to be extra meticulous when cleaning my teeth..

[thunderstorm_19]

1. Dogs have owners, cats have staff.

2. I think my environmental rants/posts are going to drive some people nuts eventually.

3. Driving people nuts is the idea. If they want me to shut up, they'll have to get up and DO SOMETHING about the problems I complain about. ;)

[nymphette]

1: i am a devilled egg

2: harrison's birthday is in two days... yes i am excited!!! :)

3: i can't wait until my hair is two inches longer and it is taking forever!!! but i promised i won't chop it off until i have enough to donate.... though every day i stare longingly at my scissors and fight the urge.... i dont' think i like me with long hair, but i like being able to put it up... hm

[Cuilanië]

- I need a haircut.

- I was complimented on my haircut today... what are those people, blind? I need a haircut!!!

- No, it doesn't look nice. It looks curly in all the wrong ways, like up and away from my head. And big, too. I need a haircut.

[Cuilanië]

- I don't think I could wait until my hair os two inches longer, unless I had a good cause - or good incentive - to make me tough it out.

- I miss having long hair sometimes, it's the in-between lengths I can't stand. Like now.

- I forgot to call to make an appointment for that today. Must remember to book it tomorrow.

[Cuilanië]

- Yes, I'm annoyed with my hair - does it show?

- I'm having soup for dinner, despite having gone grocery shopping tonight.

- I'm lazy - it's too damn late to start cooking.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. Click here (http://www.villagephotos.com/viewpubimage.asp?id_=7519133) to see the haircut I want when my brother's wedding is over. Grr. Stupid Village Photos just crashed. Well, I hope it comes up soon...
2. I plan to wear my hair up for the wedding, so that's why I am not getting it cut sooner.

3. The only reason I want to wear it up is so that I can go to the bagel and champagne brunch at the salon before the wedding.

[sarahkate]

the link doesn't work Heather!! :(

[hainlam]

.. I just remembered I volunteered to walk dogs this evening.. it seemed like a good idea at the time.. but everytime we leave my child begs for hours on end for one of the dogs at the shelter.. oh well..

.. I also just remembered that I have an Expense Reduction Task Force meeting in an hour.. blah.. those suck..

.. this is what happens when the company I work for is too cheap to buy us calendars.. (not my suggestion)

Try again. It should work now.

[Cuilanië]

- I've decided to be present in my ten-year-old stepsister's life, despite being so far away.

- Soup wasn't enough - I'm still hungry.

- I really need to stop losing weight, now. I've been told today that I've lost some more, despite the holiday season just ending. I'm a bit worried about that.

[Cuilanië]

bonus fact - I like that haircut you're planning on getting, Sharky!

[Christine_0701]

1. eve's post about appointments reminded me i need to call vancouver about doc's appointments in april (yes, i have to finalize my dates NOW) and booking a room at easter seal house for said appointments

2. i need to lose some weight....lots of weight, actually

3. i hope school is open tomorrow....not for the fact that i want to go to class, but for the fact that i want to get some FOOD

[nymphette]

1: while i wish;) i had cuilainie's problem with losing weight, sometimes it is a bad thing to lose too much too quick for unknown reasons... i think cuilainie should see a doctor so that i dont' worry about her...

2: i dont' have the patience to wait for it to grow another couple inches, but going six or seven months (after harrison being born) without thinking twice about my hair/looks it snuck up to being long... just not long enough to donate and i can't bear to chop all this red salad off and waste it!!! ;) so i am having patience for a good cause...

3: i love :wub: heather's hairstyle choice, i can't wait to see it on her!!! :) that is what i like about short hair, the versatility for styling- i can see that style pulled over witha cute clip, or a little more curled, or tousled, or grown a bit in the back for flip....

4: i am declaring a moratorium on short hair discussion today... :ph34r: or i'll end up hacking mine off tonight... <_<

5: nah, post MORE pictures so i can decide how short i want to go...

6: another good thing about short hair, is the whole anility to dye/redye without a lot of damage, since you get it cut more often!!!!! (though i don't think i'd go platinum again... wasn't my best look ever.. but i have the pics to prove i did it- my brother didn't believe i bleached my hair!!!) :)

2 three facts for the price of 1

1. I need to lose weight. A few years ago I lost about 20 pounds in about 4 months, without any real difficulty. I've gained it all back, plus an extra 10 or so. :o

2. It will be impossible to lose weight in Russia

3. I'll be thinking about Eve's hair for a week now. *sigh*

[Christine_0701]

1. i can't find my other doctor's phone number
2. my sister is attempting to help me find it
3. there are lots of people with the last name Lyons in vancouver

[kittymao]

lately my cat has been sleeping with me on my bed and... well becuase he's sixteen pounds of cat, he takes up a lot of space. My back is whimpering.

I'm making chicken again tonight. And it's thawing ATM so i can strip the skin and have some REALLY good chicken. Yar.

Huhm. I still need to do the cheese and monkey thing. I just need to find either a camera, or a block of cheese.

[nymphette]

1: julian's taking-off-his-pj's-in-bed-and-sleeping-in-his-tighty-whity's thing has turned into a i-like-to-run-around-without-clothes thing...

2: i dont' mind but when company comes i think they think i am a bad mother because he likes to be naked.... he has no hang ups about the human body and i think that is good- i have a nephew who for five years now won't go barefoot (even wears socks and shoes to run through the sprinkler!!!) or change in front of ANYONE.... hm

3: i have to drink more water... i realized i drink more coffee than water per day and have resolved ot ONLY have a cup of coffee after i drink a glass of water... this will either a: cut down on my coffee consumption while increasing my water intake... or b: make me slosh around the house from dawn to dusk....

[Seusomon]

1. Robyn - if your company can't tell you're a good mom, they're obviously missing something; not your problem.

2. I really need to decompress before full moon ritual tonight. My body feels yuck.

3. I wonder if if might be possible to blame Canada for cancer, heart disease, and the common cold. ;)

oh sure. Blame Canada. *cries*

1. someone called Bill called at 11pm the other night (sunday).

2. it was a wrong number.

3. he told me he was visiting from New York.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. music, and 'suspense', and things like that on documentary nature programs, forensics programs, and shows like "most haunted" that go on ghost-observing trips ( ghost-hunting seems like the wrong word) annoys the bloody hell outta me.

2. SPAM (email) annoys me.

3. When I'm cooking a meal, STAY OUTTA MY KITCHEN.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. this is cool here (http://www.earthday.ca/EDy2k/YearRnd/YearRndfrm1.html)

2. spaghetti's yummy.

3. so.bored.

[Sirius]

2. I wonder if Sirius ever got a cheese monkey book in the mail.

1. So, the mystery is solved. Thank you. I posted somewhere in here asking about it, but no one ever confessed. I've not only received, but have read the book.

2. I'm supposed to be packing.

3. I've packed the tolietries...it's packing WARM clothes that I am struggling with...such a foreign concept.

[Dalmaney]

1. We just had our first official "date".
2. Jordan declared that yesterday couldn't be our official first date because it was his sister's birthday, so it can't be our anniversary. I think that's looking pretty far ahead... but not in a bad way.
3. This means for our first date (and really, my first real date pretty much ever) we had hot chocolate at his house, wandered the mall for a bit, and saw "Radio" before coming back to my place for a bit. Oh... and we washed Carie's car with Carie because she was giving me a ride to school. But that would be where other people entered in, so I don't think it counts.

[cindi1023]

1. I'm grinning imagining Dalmaney & her boy playfully arguing over the date of their actual first date many, many months from now... been there many moons ago.

2. If Smachel were here, I'd throw some more trash talk her way! :P

3. Hubby went to Wal-mart tonight, with a quest to look for the previously mentioned obnoxious monkey doll. He either had no luck or is fibbing to me because he couldn't bring himself to look for such silliness... :rolleyes:

[cindi1023]

1. Robyn's post immediatly made me think of a Dana Carvey stand up special from years ago with him talking about his kids running around naked. According to him, they were so obsessed with being disrobed, that he and his wife had to set aside 1 hour each night (from 7 to 8) to be "naked time" for the kids. They would stand around just before 7:00 quaking with anticipation.... as soon as the clock struck 7, clothes went a-flying! :P

2. My younger sister went through a streaking phase around the time she was 3 or 4. As soon as mom pulled her out of the tub, she'd wriggle free and go streaking through the house, giggling. My grandfather was a frequent visitor, and it really embarassed him (he was one of 5 brothers, and he and my grandmother only had sons....). I can still remember him saying "Don't show me that!" as she ran through the living room... Ah, memories!

3. To round out my post about nudity... a though paraphrased from Lewis Grizzard. Do you know the difference between naked and neked? Naked is being without clothes. Neked is being without clothes, and up to something! :P


** edited for clarity**

[Sirius]

1. I still haven't packed. And I leave in 36 hours.

2. I've asked Brian to be packed atleast 12 hours before we leave. I can't expect much more than that.

3.Packing in the summer is much easier than packing in the winter. Too much stuff.

[cindi1023]

1. In order to pack appropriatly for cold weather, you need SPACE BAGS.... Oops! another post meant for another thread... namely the annoying commercial thread.

2. Have I missed it? Where are Sirius and her hubby off to?

3. I've been kicking around an idea for an additional post/suggestion for the Protection thread, but I'm just not quite sure about it yet. Perhaps I should sleep on it...

[Sirius]

1. I've missed the Protection thread. Are we talking about THAT type of protection?

2. Just a road trip. Four days. Ghost towns, caverns, gold mine tours, the western side of the Grand Canyon, scenic train rides, this weird town overrun by burros, a dam, the london bridge (it's in arizona ya' know). I'm sneaking in a monkey incase we run into cheese.

3. i'm going to go pack now....

[bluecrayon]

1. I have a curiosity about Brian and wonder what he looks like

2. I am hoping sirius has fun on her trip....

3. I am going nowhere but to bed.... :(

[medeous]

1. i have a picture of siriustell and brian in bed! together!
2. siriustell sent her part of my LMAO a month early!
3. hainlam: sylvia's mama is a miniature dachshund and her daddy is a chihuahua.

[kittymao]

I made pollo asado chicken tonight. But this time i stripped all the skin off of them. That means I stripped 12 drumsticks. Yack. I don't think it was too fun, but to get both the flavor and shed the fat, so be it. Ya?

i Love fontifier. It rocks so much. a NEW obsession?

We just got some christmas pictures back, I'll need to hut down one of me for the pictures thread.

[Sirius]

1. i'm sure there is a picture of brian out here somewhere...the christmas picture, didn't i post that?

2. Yes, med-monkey-girl does have a picture of b+r in bed together.

3. I am confident siriustell will have fun on her trip. even if it is cold.

[bluecrayon]

1. Kittymao makes me nervous....

2. I am wondering what my mysterious postcard from Hawaii is all about...

3. I am waiting for SOMEONE to bump up rubbish, chaingame overkill, speaking of and chaingamers united so I can play a bit before I have to go to bed!!!!

[stargal1998]

1. I think I am back... I've cried and been angry... most importantly, I am there for everyone that needs me... Thanks for the pep posts, people...

2. I talked to my ex-boyfriend tonight on IM. It was different talking to him. I'm finally over him and it's almost like we're just people.

3. When I was talking to nick tonight after the IM conversation, I told him I really loved him and appreciated him. That I was glad I had him in my life, but that he needed to act more like when we first started going out-- letting me pick the movies, doing free or cheap stuff like taking walks and watch the stars and just talk...

[Christine_0701]

1. my mom sent out my main christmas present today. she forgot it before
2. the eye doctor's office is stupid, and won't let me make an appointment without being referred, even though he told me last april to come see him in a years time
3. my sister is equally stupid, because she didn't understand when i said it's not that big a deal if i dont get to see the eye doctor, because he said it's not necessary, but if i'm in town to make an appt.

[Seusomon]

1. When I was about 5, I had a habit of running naked into the living room after bath time, shouting "all clean!" Mom thought is was adorable. It's still a family legend about the time my teenage sister had her boyfriend over to the house for the first time...

2. I'm probably not going to bump to many threads for bluecrayon tonight.

3. It's bed time.

(impractical for saskatchewan winters tho'....)

1: julian running around naked yelling 'where are you poppet' cracked me up big time this afternoon!!!! i even let him watch the movie again because he amused me so much!!! :D

2: i still haven't watched the movie myself, though it has been on about eight times since christmas day...

3: i need to send my sister's dvd home with her................. hm

[bluecrayon]

1. I rode my bike wearing a mini skirt and tights today....

2. I had a wonderful morning with someone wonderful....

3. I am stalling for time while I think of something witty to respond to Hammerquill!

[Christine_0701]

1. i'm getting even closer
2. only 1400 more posts to go
3. if tomorrow is another snow day, i'm going to get actual stuff done

[hammerquill]

1. My name on my birth certificate is Reid. My grandmother still spells it that way.
2. I changed it when I was five, because about 98% of people said "oh, is that R-E-E-D?" and I was tired of it all. The other thing they always said was "Oh, that must be because you read a lot!"
3. Most dictionaries will tell you this comes from Anglo-Saxon read, meaning "red" or "red-haired." While this is possible, it strikes me as unlikely, because one of the common second elements in many Anglo-Saxon names is ræd (also simply spelled red, and pronounced either "rad" or "red"). This word still exists, in the rare word "rede" meaning lore, (good) counsel, plan, story, explanation. Perhaps I'm biased, but that's the version I like to think my name comes from.

[Dalmaney]

1. The date of our actual first date is much more complicated than yesterday or the day before. See my previous ramblings over "was that a date or wasn't it" from November.

2. I love to talk to my friend Jill because she can make me feel optimistic about dating someone 600km away.

3. I've never been this freaking annoyingly happy before... at least not that I can remember right now.

[Serenity]

1. I'm killing time--waiting for the cafetaria to open *gag*

2. I had my first class of the semester not 20 minutes ago

3. I have to buy only novels for school books this term-- I have all the others from the last time :) Hehe :)

3. it's cold.

[Christine_0701]

1. woohoo!!! campus is open today
2. :( that means i have classes :( but i get food :D
3. I need to make a list of all the other stuff I want to buy too

[sarahkate]

1. According to Jane Magazine "Falling coconuts kill more people than sharks do- roughly 150 versus 10 each year." Shocking!

2. I am ALMOST caught up with a few of my past due LMAOs! Yay!

3. I had spaghetti for dinner last night. I wish I could have some more right now.

Brilliant! i've heard that before too... and you don't hear of campaigns to cut down all the coconut trees do you? No. But you have surely heard of people killing sharks because they are a threat to us.

1. 10% of the people struck by lightning each year in the USA are GOLFING at the time.

2. The most common way to get struck by lightning while indoors is through the telephone.

3. Lightning can be 5 times the temperature of the surface of the sun.

1. so did I!

2. i get more for lunch today.

3. I bought a nailpolish yesterday that is very close in colour (vibrant orange, yellow shimmers) to the colours of my bedroom.

[stargal1998]

1. I am listening to Launch at work, just because I needed a variety of music.

2. They have really annoying commercials, but one is about a boy who is shopping with his father, pestering him for things... One of the things he wants is a battle monkey action figure.

3. I think a few people here (including me) would appreciate a battle monkey action figure...

[Christine_0701]

1. a few minutes ago half a dozen seagulls started circling around just outside my window
2. at first, i just caught a glimpse of their undersides and thought they were doves
3. my student account doesn't work...it wont let me log in :(

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I think the seagulls in Finding Nemo squawking "mine mine mine" was a brilliant move.

-2- This is just too much lunch for me. It's bowtie pasta. Yummy, but too filling.

-3- They are calling for "light snow" tomorrow. Groan. I hate snow!

[nymphette]

1: i was going to have a salad for lunch, but all this talk about pasta has me craving the leftover vermicelli with peanut sauce....... mmmmmmmm..... julian loved it- peanut butter and honey on 'sketti'??? what could be better than that!!! :) he helped me make the sauce... forget the other ingredients, mom made sketti and peebah and hunny!!!!

2: i love these two boys more every day.... :wub: you all must think (know??) i dont have a life to be talking about them so much.....

3: harrison is going to be one year old at 8:40 tomorow morning!!!!!! <snoopy happy dance> :P

[sarahkate]

1. I like hearing you talk about your boys, Nymphette! :) I don't think it means you have "no life" - I am actually very jealous! I wish I had two cutie kids to spend my day with :)

2. I have lots of lines/wrinkles under my eyes. Especially when I smile. Is it normal for a 23 year old girl to have wrinkles under her eyes? I think it's because I should wear glasses - but I don't - so I squint a lot. I don't even notice I'm squinting but my mom always gets mad at me when she sees me watch tv because apparantly I squint A LOT. I guess I should just suck it up & go to the eye doctor.

3. I should suck it up & go to the dentist too..... but I'm scared :unsure:

[gwensmom]

1. Today is Elvis's birthday

2. I created an exchange for an Elvis postcard and 7 people signed up.

3a. On New Year's Day our mayor declared that God put him here and gave him (and nobody else) a vision for the city.

3b. A few days later, the city coucil rejected 5 of his appointees.

3c. This is the first time this has happened here!

3d. The editorial cartoon in the paper this morning was a picture of the mayor with his foot in his mouth.

[nymphette]

1: happy birthday to the king.. i am listening to elvis on my winamp player- i wondered why i felt compelled to hear his music today!!! :) i came in here, wanting to hear 'maxwell's silver hammer' and instead put on my elvis playlist...

2: my grandma was elvis's biggest fan.. ;)

3: i hve a million things to do today and none of them involve me sitting here playing chain games.... but we'll just ignore that because harrison's sleeping and julian is doing puzzles and all is quiet in the larter household.... ;)

[cindi1023]

1. Sharky's post in Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down about circus peanuts has me remembering my grandfather.... He used to always keep them in the house for me.

2. Every time I think of something to post here, I end up thinking it would be better served in another thread.... What are you wearing?, Today's Firsts, Annoying commercials... etc.

3. I hope Sirius and Brian have a good time on their trip... can I tag along? It sounds like fun!

[Seusomon]

1. Happy birthday, Harrison!

2. It's inexplicably warm in my office today.

3. I got the proofs of my upcoming book in the mail yesterday - it's a frighteningly large package.

[kittymao]

wait. so Harrison and Elvis were born on the same day?! weeird.

1. My stupid cold has hit me full force. My nose continues to clog, my back and knees ache and all I really want to do is zonk out and sleep some more. But that would be a waste of a day, yea? egads I have my mother's illness mentality.

2. I'm pondering, cereal or chicken? I got up less than half an hour ago. I'm thinking cereal cause it's easy... Oh but it's noon. Need to have a LUNCH! pah.

3.

sometimes I feel like a rambling idiot. Mostly cause I'm sure I am.

[freckledcutie]

1. I need a snow day just to get my life back!

2. I've been back at work for a week and can't believe I already am wanting a day off.

3. I kept thinking yesterday was Thursday and I was so excited that today was Friday and then everytime I realized that yesterday was Wednesday, I was bummed out.

[Seusomon]

1. Harrison's birthday is tomorrow. I was being proactive. :P

2. I don't think I've ever licked the glue off a bed.

3. I think the action figures are a great idea. We need giant guinea pigs too, and probably pregnant aliens.

[freckledcutie]

1. If I saw a pregnant alien action figure then I would probably buy it

2. I wouldn't normally buy an action figure for myself

3. I need to get into action and get out of her and go pick up my daughter because she keeps calling me on her cell phone complaining that she's tired of waiting for me to come get her

[Bugitha]

1. It is not like me go more than 15 pages of three random facts without posting, but that's what I've done.

2. It's not like me to bring personal problems to work, but that's what I've done.

3. It's not like me to take lots and lots of OTC medication to fight the flu, but that's what I've done.

[nymphette]

1: my sister called me to ask if i thought she should come over for h's birthday supper tomorrow (party is next weekend) because she's been feeling funny and dind't want him to catch whatever is brewing in her system....

2: after comparing symptoms (becuse i have been feeling 'funny' lately too) we have parallels on the following symptoms, from the past three days:

a: feeling dizzy in the head, but not oh-my-god-i'm-dizzy- dizzy, just a kind of weird dizzy... neither of us could explain it but we both knew wht the other meant....
b: we both have been megasuperduper tired the past three days- i passed mine off to being because i played chain games until 5 am the other night...
c: we both felt short of breath yesterday after drinking a similar-type of beverage- she had a bottle of chocolate milk, i had a mug of hot chocolate with julian... we both felt like we couldnt' get enough O2 withing a few second of drinking our drinks, and it went away within fifteen minutes... we both blamed it on tummies full of liquid that must have been pressing on our diaphragms...
d: i called my mom at work 2x yesterday and no answer, which is strange because she was at work and if she doesn't answer her phone, it rings through to the main line at her office... my sister called me twice today and i didn't answer either time, which was weird because i was here, and she didnt' call me... i didn't call my mom at work either, brainiac here called her HOME number... and my sister called HER home number... not mine....
e: we both woke up with sore throats today
f: we both had swollen legs yesterday and had worries about them popping like a balloon if they got bumped or something... and both thought about what would happen if we actually stuck a fork in them....

okay
so i think there is some alien bacteria that has used us as a host.... not sure where they are going with this.... but it actually left both my sister and me freaked out at the weirness of it all!!!!!!!

3:if someone else had the same symptoms the past three days, i'm going to panic!!! ;)

[nymphette]

1: i am making turkey curry for supper tonight... mostly because chris has been complaining about how we never have meat anymore!!! ;) i think he's expecting roast beef and mashed potatoes though... heh

2: i should be blow drying my hair becuse chris is off and heading home so we can go back into the city to get bloodwork done... (wishing i had a pocketchem ba!!! craft sales this spring will hopefully pop us up the be financially able to get- just the physical part that still worries me!!!! smuggling in black market medical devices may not be the easiest thing to do... ;))

3: it's darn cold out, but i think it is getting warmer.... our door isnt' stuck EVERY time i open it to let the cat in/out... just first thing this am it was...

[nymphette]

1: i cannot translate binary... even with an online translating tool.... it would help if i knew hwat i was doing in the first place!!! ;)

2: turkey curry and suspense are making my ulcer act up.... and ben doesn't seem to care.... :( :D

3: bloodwork tonight... that'll help the ulcer.......

[Curlita]

1. I'm sorry to hear that nymphette has an ulcer - YUCK. I have acid-reflux, which is not as bad, but has some of the same crappy dietary restrictions.

2. After nearly a year on N-ness, I have JUST figured out how to adjust my local time!

3. I am very tired and I really want to be at home working my puzzle. I visited a friend this weekend and we did a puzzle and now I have PUZZLE FEVER.

[Christine_0701]

1. I too am sorry for Robyn's ulcer
2. I hope Robyn can get the pocketchem thinggy soon
3. It sounds like Robyn might have the flu....

[nymphette]

1 we got harrison's bloodwork done tonight... well, chris got it done, i went shopping.... blah..... 41 for an ammonia... which is sort of high, but i'll take it!!!!

2 as i drove up to the hospital, i had to pass the main entrance to go around to emergency and it hit me- it had been exactly one year- even to the time @ 9:00 pm- since i drove up there with the hope filled expectation of having my beautiful baby and taking him home with me.... i had to pull over because i was crying... it has been such a year since then, it really hit me as to the difference of what has happened, and to what our expectations were, before we found out about his disorder.... one year since i felt those labor pains, those anticipation thrills, that imaptience to have that perfect little man in my arms... it actually hit me really hard, since it never even occured to me before that very second when i drove up there....

3 i wonder how i'll feel on the morning of the 11th...... that was when he crashed and was sent to the nicu....

A Trip To Holland
By Emily Perl Kingsley

I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability -- to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this...

When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation trip to Italy. You buy a bunch of guidebooks and make your wonderful plans... the Coliseum, the Sistine Chapel, Gondolas. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It's all very exciting.

After several months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, "Welcome to Holland!" "Holland?" you say. "What do you mean, Holland? I signed up for Italy. I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy." But there's been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay.

The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place full of pestilence, famine, and disease. It's just a different place. So, you must go out and buy new guidebooks. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It's just a different place. It's slower paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around. You begin to notice that Holland has windmills. Holland has tulips. And Holland even has Rembrandts.

But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy, and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life you will say, " Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned." And the pain of that experience will never, ever, ever, go away. The loss of that dream is a very significant loss.

But if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things about Holland.

1. my dog is shredding a roll of paper towels.

2. i'm not stopping her.

3. yes, i know that's bad, but she's having too much fun!

[bluecrayon]

1. I wish I could give that Harrison a big hug on his birthday.... :)

2. I wish I could translate binary code and I wish I didn't feel so stupid because I can't!

3. I think I am curious now about Ben.... !!!!! heh heh.

[nymphette]

1: i just realized i haven't gotten any nervous mail all week... :( i'll be very sad if my mailbox if full
