veow- am a fence sitter too. i dont understand how anyone can have very strong opinions about anything.

i've never done the finger in the butt. i told my husband about the poll and he said that the men must be latent homosexuals. he must not realize the prostate is a sexual organ.

i dont think he would have a good reaction- but he likes his butt sqeezed. i wouldnt do the finger in fear of what he would do- and how my finger would smell. my husband lasts only about 10 minutes max in bed so i dont want to give him an extra reason to get off sooner.

happy b-day katiekat!

i don't like kids. reason- i dont know anyone with kids. i held a baby for the first time a month ago and it cried. i think kids are very self centered little shits. i dont mind hearing about the cute things they do, though.

i don't like PDA's. they make me uncomfortable. when i see a couple making out on the street my first thought is they must not know each other very long.

i'm not a bush fan. i think he is riding this whole terror thing and its the best thing that could ever have happened to him. my father was at an anti war rally in NYC last week and was quoted by the village voice as saying the bush is an "idiot". i'm proud of my dad.

i am also a nudist. the second i walk in the door after work- suddenly my cloths feel very uncomfortable. i take them off immediatly. i'm always paranois people can see me through the blinds. i hate bras. i have to wear them but they are the first to come off.

i dont have the "no one really likes me" thing as much as i have the "noone should like me because i am (pick a reason) thing. i am a bad friend. i dont call anyone. i dont ask to hang out with anyone. i stopped writing everyone.

i can't say that i have ever had a bf turn gay because i married my first bf. only have had sex with one man.

i, too, have kissed a girl. i bit more then that too. i felt bad afterwards. i was drunk (the all purpose excuse) but i wanted it to happen just to close the curiosity in my head. my husband is very affeminate. that is my happy medium.

1. i often think i am not pretty enough and therefor invalid as a peron. much of this could be attributed to popular culture. have you ever noticed most every talented female singer could also be a model? most every talented actress could also be a model? makes me think that average looking people like myselfare somehow incapible of being smart/ talented/ and such because my DNA is not good enough to have made me photogenic. i know its all bullshit. sex sells records. sex sells movies. it;s hard to get the public interested unless they feel attracted to their icon. its easier for male icons. we are soo much more forgiving to them.

i like the smell of a man's sweat. i ahte cologne.

3. i belong to no religious sect. i know a lot of pagans and i myself had a pagan influenced ceremony. the preistess was uniterian. i choose her to throw my lutheran mother- in law a bone. i believe there has to be a creator because we are here and you cannot make something out of nothing. it defy's science. therefor there must be something that is spiritual. i do not believe anything anyone tells me about god. what do humans know about the nature of god anyway? i feel very detached from the christian god because from what i can tell- - god stopped talking to us 2000 years ago. i have felt this way since i was 5. and with our scientific world we live in- i think maybe we cannot hear god if god is talking. i dont believe god can be found in a church- but rather in a state of mind. maybe god is our conscious. i dont know. i feel i would be a hpacrite to ever say "god thinks this...." . so with this view that god cannot be known but perhalps felt- i feel its possible inappropriate to preach. you might think "well- you can preach what we do know about the bible" but i think the bible can be lost in interpretation. i also feel that you cant use the bible as the word of god because the christian god is the same god that the hindu's believe in, the muslims, and everyone else who feels it. knowing that- and knowing the interpretation changes- i cannot commit to one sect or another. it just feels wrong to me.

how's that for fence sitting?

happy birthday, my katie girl.http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. i refer to bush as "president" bush (when i'm speaking, i make quotation marks with my fingers), because al gore is my president.. and lover.http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

2. my nickname in high school was "flirt."

3. i've never done drugs, and never plan to do drugs.

Thank you eenie & flea for birfday wishes... and a huge thank you to GUINEABABY!! I just got my card in the mail tonight -- you are too sweet. That really made my day! http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. I'm right in the middle of re-arranging/redecorating my room. 3 walls have paint, and now I have to move all the crap around again so I can get to the last wall.

2. I've also only had sex with one man, my guy Chris. My opinion (since I was like 15) has always been that you don't have to be married to have sex, but you do need to be in a committed, trusting relationship with someone you love & respect. When I met Chris, I knew he was *the one.*

3. I've done 3 illegal drugs in my life -- pot, lsd, and x. The pot still happens occasionally (but hasn't for awhile), the lsd was during high school when I thought i didn't have anything better to do (i admit, though -- it was fun), and the x was from being badly influenced (see last post about druggie friends). I did have a bad reaction to whatever bullshit was in it, and I hate to admit to myself that I could've died because of drugs. *gives thanks to guardian angel*

1.) I'm addicted to coffee, Marlboro lights & Excedrin Migraine....I need at least 2 of each before being able to function in the mornings....

i feel exactly the same. i've only had sex (::sigh:: *consensual* sex) with one man, shane, of course. i knew that he was the one i'd be with for the rest of my life. i never intended on keeping my virginity until i was married, but i did intend on keeping it until i was *sure*

1. i can be insecure walking into a room full of people. to combat this, i usually pull out my cell phone and pretend to be dialing a number. i know it's stupid, but it's how i am.

2. sometimes i think i'm pretty and other times i think i'm ugly. i wish i could see how i looked through other's eyes.

3. i love children. i can't wait to have children. i think it is the most beautiful, fascinating process.

1. Some clothes make me uncomfortable too, but I'm not a nudist--I'm a pajama-ist. I have almost as many jammies, lounge pants, etc, as I do street clothes and wear them pretty much all the time when I'm at home. (Ah, the joys of living alone!). Very embarrassing when the doorbell rings at 4 pm and I'm in my p.j.s though. Usually try to do a quick change before answering the door. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif And I never ever wear shoes around the house. Thats just crazy talk.

2. I got three pieces of nervous mail today and NO bills! A very very good mail day.

3.My downstairs neighbor started feeding stray cats and they are multiplying rapidly. It's starting to become a problem. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

1. despite my nude tendencies, i live with my parents, so i'm covered up most of the time.. as a result, i'm a pajama fiend too. i have so many pairs of cutesy pajamas. i don't know what i'll do with them all when i move out, because i much prefer sleeping naked.

2. i love to slow dance, but i hate fast dancing. i'm terrible at it.. white girls just cannot dance.http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

3. i would never get plastic surgery, but i do wish my breasts were bigger.

Three more things. And I've read every post too. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

cieart
1. I know why Drakkar is so eighth grade. Its because that is about the same time guys started wearing cologne. I admitI ask every guy I think about going out with two things: do they/could they wear boxers and would they be adverse to wearing drakkar. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

flea
2. I am a Unitarian. I really love the whole thing about loving everyone and everyone can be saved. This also means that the sermons tend to have a very left politcal bent - or at least against bush and his axis of evil. Why doesn't he think the chinese are evil for what they do to Falun Gong members?

eenie
3. I used to be a nudist (at least while I was alone or with an SO), but I live with my mom and my nephews so have to wear clothes. My mother doesn't even like me to wear a towel around while i am gathering up what I am going to wear for the day out of three or four different places. Since the house is so small my hang up clothes are in my mothers closet, in the dirty clothes basket with the clean clothes, in the washing machine room or my very own one drawer in the dresser that my nephews keep their clothes in. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

10-15-2002, 07:35 PM

Some more http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

1. The thumb rear end thing: I have done this before but am convinced that that particular ex is really gay. My ex-husband is bi; another ex entered the army after a weird thing happened with a male shop teacher; and the most effeminate thing a guy has ever done in my presence is that hair flipping thing. Now, while I like effeminate guys, that was just too much.

2. I wish I had a smaller stomach. I don't really care about the rest of my size 24 body. I just want my stomach the way it was when I actually had a six pack!

3. I have heard that if you shave before a date, that means that you want to get some. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

erin, i don't know who made you think you're a horrible friend, but whoever it was, kick his/her ass for me! you are a wonderful friend!!!!

drat. three more, eh?

does anyone else feel like we're at a big slumber party, only without the cheese puffs?

1. you who have said so aren't the only ones to have kissed a girl. or more. long time ago, when i was a hippie and thought genitalia were immaterial to love (and in some ways, that's true, but i meant sexual love then).

2. the strangest drug i ever did was opium. smoked some lovely stuff and later just sort of faded out of consciousness while having sex. faded back in hours later, still having sex, different position, different room. same person. if it had been readily available and cheap, i'd have died in a slough of my own excrement, only moving to bring the pipe to my lips and back. very scary. (boy, am i glad those days are way long gone! most of y'all weren't even a gleam in your fathers' eyes then)

3. i got two magazines (expressions and rosie), a catalog (scottish lion) nervous mail (soap from eenie, two birthday cards, and an lmao) in the mail today and i failed to make the PO run AGAIN due to work.

eenie, you've only had sex with one man. what you had at the hands of the fiend wasn't sex. it was violence.

1. i think rapists should be castrated. slowly. with a very dull, notched utility knife and tons of rubbing alcohol. and then skinned, in one inch squares with kosher salt rubbed in for good measure. and then pilloried in the town square (on the internet?). and maybe more after that.

2. i'm not actually violent, but i think i could really do the above to the bastard who hurt eenie.

3. i have no boobs. i don't mean i'm flat-chested - i'm not. i just have no boobs because they were both removed a year and nine months ago due to pre-cancerous conditions in both. implants don't sag. and finally getting the nipples reconstructed last october made me feel like a mammal again.

Su, I'd have been right there with you squabbling over the opium pipe... gods, what wonderful stuff.

1. I once had a friend who's brother mailed him opium in a box full of Pink Floyd CDs. He was at my house when he opened his mail. I was in another room, at the far side of the house. I smelled the opium. I also virtually teleported into the room where it was.

2. I once had a rabbit who screwed a bassett hound. I'm not kidding, and sadly, didn't get video. However, there were several witnesses, not all of them on opium. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

3. I definitely have the capability to be extremely violent if the circumstances call for it. I once made every effort to kill an attempted rapist -- but all the blood shed that day was his, not mine. I did have to burn my clothes though. I suppose in a way I'm perversely proud of that fact.

i wish you could see how much i'm crying right now (Thankful tears).. i would pay a million dollars just to give you a hug for that.

I can't resist adding again...

1. I HATE being home alone, especially after dark. I'm 20 and it still bothers me.

2. I don't like Ovaltine in warm drink form, but I do like it in cold milk, and I LOOOOVE eating Ovaltine powder straight from the tin with a spoon.

3. I eat limes like most people eat oranges. I don't usually do this with lemons.

1. I am delaying doing work, again, as usual. I have two assignments due by friday.

2. I am obsessed with the movie Drop Dead Fred. It's playing now (one of my housemates is watching it).

3. My background is mostly English, with some Scottish, French and Spanish. I have red hair, which came from my father's side, but the Scots is on my mom's side. I have the Scottish colouring, but I have dark brown (Spanish) eyes.

oops, i think we cheated, wombat.: ) ::hurriedly posts three facts before anyone notices::

1. i am a pack rat. i'm afraid to throw stuff away.

3. the weight i am right now is the most i've ever weighed.

1. I have a livejournal. http://www.livejournal.com/users/mystic_orca/

2. My highschool (meaning the one i went to) is the Regional Art School in the area. I was a Visual Art Major.

3. I flunked grade 11 advanced math twice. yes, twice.

10-15-2002, 08:55 PM

Wombat, Burt's Bees is a brand of bath products made with a generous helping of beeswax and other bee by-products, and you now owe three facts!!!

1. I love Abba, John Denver, and all the songs by Starland Vocal Band *except* "Afternoon Delight," which is stupid.
2. I'm descended from the sister of the man who shot President Garfield. His trial is in legal textbooks, being the first time American courts were faced with a defense of hereditary insanity. My sister discovered this ancestor when she was looking for evidence that she was eligible to be a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. She needed the evidence because a very good friend of hers asked her to sing at a function, but in order to sing she had to be eligible for membership. Both my sister and I find it far more interesting that we are descended from the family of the assassin who claimed hereditary insanity, than that we are eligible to be DUPs.
3. I love bell peppers, especially yellow and orange ones. I eat them out of hand like an apple.

10-15-2002, 09:02 PM

Eenie, thanks for the link to burts bees - I'll check it out.

Sorry about missing the three new posts - guess I have to do six now! Let's see...

1. I flunked grade 11 physics twice.

2. I love ballroom dancing.

3. When it comes to politics, ethics, etc, I usually have an opinion, though I always try to see all sides of an issue before coming to a decision.

4. I work for a non-profit organisation because I couldn't live with myself if I worked for a large, multinational company.

5. I have had a lifelong love of reading and books. Consequently, I haven't done any book altering LMAOs because I'd feel as if I were doing something terrible.

6. I have been learning Italian for several years and hope to be fluent one day.

Thanks Mejaka!

1. When I was a kid, my siblings and I would give Abba concerts to our dad and grandparents. We knew all their songs.

2. My grandfather used to tell us he was a sea monster from Tasmania and if you pressed his belly button, he would revert to his monster self.

3. As a teenager, Kiss was my favourite band. I was really disappointed when Peter Chris announced his departure from the band before they came to Australia.

I'm learning a lot about other people here in the forums and about life in general. I'm glad. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1) This (http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/pubimage.asp?id_=845371) is what my hair currently looks like. About an 1.5 hours ago it was three colors because the woman who did my hair today had never done a bleach job before. I've (apparently) fixed it. And I like it dammit.

2) I'm addicted to my digital camera. I love taking pictures with it, mostly of urban nature and stuff.

3) My (new) doctor finally realized The Pill wasn't helping to alleviate my pain, so now I'm on The Patch. It's weird. It's... a patch. After this month is over, I'll mention how it's working. I'm definitely not going on Depo, though. That stuff scares me after that other thread...

Dammit I accidentally posted before responding to a few things.

Flea - You rock. Your posts kick a s s. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif (I like reading what everyone else says, too, but I always get a kick out of reading what Flea has to say http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif But yes, I like you all.)

Eenie - You're not a terrible friend and I agree with JustSu on the fact that you've only had sex with one man. :: nods ::

JustSu - While I absolutely hate rapists and other sexual predators, I don't know about castrating them. I mean, their urge and their desire to harm people in one of the cruelest fashions would still be there. I think it's something in their mind, not their body. I'm not sure exactly what their punishment should be, but it should be even more severe than what they did. Just not castration. Maybe a forced lobotomy or something. On a lighter note, I feel like this is a big, epic slumber party, too. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Melbernai - I went into a sex shop with my friend Alex and was looking at whips (not to actually use, mind you, but because I like whips). The girl behind the counter suggested I try it on Alex, so I did. Or at least I tried to - I somehow managed to smack myself in the forehead with it! I was SO embarassed!

Wombat - I didn't know about Burt's Bees either.

thunderstorm_19 - Are you bored? http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif Oh, I use Raw Color (http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?W=2132&LS=0&M=1623093988&ITEM=119540&RN=192) for the "oddball" colors I dye my hair. And it's going over bleached hair, so it's bound to come out more vibrantly than usual. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Bugitha, et al - I'm a PJ freak, too. This in addition to my aforementioned obsession with buying undies. Also, there's a big reason I don't have a webcam: I tend to air dry after baths and, well, I don't want any of that on camera and, knowing me, I'd forget to turn it off. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Flea - I hate seeing/hearing about animals being tortured, too. I agree - it's worse than when a person is tortured. :: sigh :: When I was about 8, I kicked the neighborhood bully's ass because he was torturing a baby bird with a broken wing. I just lost it. I screamed at him when he was hurting a cat a few years later. I honestly think that ####### is going to grow up to be a violent criminal. Other than torturing small animals, he's had other warning signs. Oh, and I like men in fishnets, makeup, (long) skirts, tall boots, etc. too. Mmmm... :: thinks about Brian Molko from Placebo ::

[on politics] - I don't affiliate myself with any party. I'm liberal on issues of marriage, sex, and sexuality. I'm against the current state of welfare in Virginia (loooong story). I'm with Wombat on part of this: I have my opinions (many of them unpopular at the moment), but I do try to see all sides of the issue.

[on kids] - Debbie doesn't do kids. In fact, my aversion to kids almost borders on fear. As long as they're not near me, I'm okay. Otherwise... well... :: shudders ::

...I'm getting tired of typing now, so here's my next three facts...

1) Since I moved to VA when I was 2 years old, I haven't been off the east cost of the US.

2) My hair smells like grape Dimetap in the front. Why is it that purple ALWAYS smells like grape?

3) I sincerely doubt that I will ever be at a point in my life where I will be able to support a child mentally or emotionally. Hence, I'm choosing to be childfree. It's my choice, I have to live with it.

Drop Dead Fred. Drop Dead Fred. Drop Dead Fred. . . I haven't thought of that movie in years. I'll have to rent it.

1. I grew up with a fear of defacing books. But then when I started a college a million years ago (well, 12 years ago), I got sick of carrying those heavy literature anthologies on the subway so I started tearing out the stories or chapters I planned to read. Once the ripping began there was no stopping me--I tear, write, doodle, color, fold, spindle and mutilate with reckless abandon and with any kind of book now. Many of my books are just covers with stray pages tucked inside them. Its no way to live really, but this is how I interact with books now. I blame college.

2. I will probably be addicted to this thread long after everyone else has dropped out and I'm replying only to myself http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

3. I have a terrible craving for oatmeal raisen cookies right now.

1. i recently discovered that my great great grandfather was a romani gypsy, and when he arrived in england, changed his name to west (i'm first generation australian)
2. i shaved my head for about 7 years on clipper number 1.

I, too, think boxer briefs are better on a guy than any other underwear.

1. We might be related to President Arthur, my mom's dad's name. My mom is in the process of researching that. My mom's Mom comes from Ireland and her last name is Antrim and there is a County Antrim. Aside from that, Dawn likes to think we're related to someone who worked or who was on the Titanic.

2. I've got a drawer full of underwear, but they're not anything special, just from ShopKo and Costco. Can't afford to have any pretties. I want more bras, but it's really hard to find my size around here because most people who live here are small (they're of Mexcian and Philipino decent) so I end up shopping in Redding when I visit my grandparents. I have a lot of cute pj bottoms, though. ^_^ I don't have a lot of different tops because I just wear my tank tops to bed since I don't like having anything on my arms, but my middle has to be covered by something other than the blanket.

3. I just got my English final back and I got a 78. I never do that bad. I've always been good in English. What's even worse is Dawn got a 90, which, of course, makes me feel like the stupid twin because everyone always asks "Which one's smarter?" I've cried, but I don't know how to cry anymore since I hold it back all the time. I need a really good cry. One day something is going to set me off and nothing will be able to stop me! I'm going to cry again so I'll just post this...

GuineaBaby - Don't feel too badly about the 78. We all have our off days. The test day was probably one of yours. :: hug :: You'll do fine on the rest. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Also, hit Victoria's Secret during their semiannual sale. Seriously, they have some awesome deals. After discounts and everything, I got one $40 bra for $15 (not including tax and the rest of my purchases, of course http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif)

Bugitha - I'll be on this thread with you. We can just keep replying to each other. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

roastparsnip - That's awesome that you have a Romani gypsy in your family tree.

[on boxers/briefs/boxer briefs] - I like boxers... both on my boyfriend and on me. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif I'm a diehard fan of them, especially for lounging around. Soooo comfortable...

Now for more facts...

1) On my mom's side, we have Italian gypsies; on my dad's, we have Irish Druids. Of course, you have to go back a few generations.

2) My paternal grandmother ran guns for the IRA during the early years of the Irish Rebellion. Then she was sent here to the US. The rest of the family gradually moved to Canada and England... :: sigh ::

3) I recently found out from a cousin that we have a branch of my paternal family in Australia. According to the relation she found, they've been there since the days that Australia was a penal colony. Dammit, now I've got to go email my cousin to find out what the name was... I don't know if it was the same or different than my surname.

1. I'm going to have a mug of hot chocolate before going to bed.

2. "Drugs" I've experienced: alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, cannabis, LSD, shrooms, ecstacy, cocaine, opium, and a variety of prescription meds., inc. Dexedrine, valium, xanax, and more.

3. Of all those listed above, I do nicotine, caffeine, and cannabis on a daily basis. I think the nicotine is the worst thing for me. And of all those listed above (other than nicotine), only the ecstacy became problematic for me.

1. My dad broke my nose when I was seven years old -- he was mad because I was cheating on a Rubik's Cube.

2. I have a half-sister who is six and a half years younger than me.

3. I have a half-brother who is nine years younger than me to the day. (Anyone else have their birthday swept away by a younger sibling?)

jadestar-It's worse than I made it sound. It was take home and I had three weeks to do it with the teacher intercepting at one point for a rough draft. I'm sure I'll get over it. I just have to sulk for a while.

1. I'm going to have hot chocolate because everyone keeps mentioning it and now i'm craving it (plus i'm freezing!).

2. I just got a nasty reply from someone on eBay. I wrote and asked if they could reduce shipping (cause you know, some peeps will) because it was a 2003 ELijah Wood calendar and shipping was $5 and I got this big ol' long rant and in the end he said "I hate to give negatives for non paying bidders but I will, don't bid if you don't intend on paying in the first place". I was like sheesh! I didn't even bid and I was just asking a generic question. I told him he lost my business because of the high shipping and the rude way he dealt with me. Too bad you can't turn people in for being rude. It would serve him right. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

10-15-2002, 11:12 PM

veow, jadestar and Bugitha - I'll reply as long as ya'll do, too! The facts would most definately get more interesting.

1. I like the fact I share a birthday because it diverts part of the attention. I hate to be the center and would open gifts in private if I could (or not get them at all). I'm not as expressive as I should be (I get told this by my mother every year). It takes me a while to figure out how really cool or whatever it really is.

2. **edit**

3. I hate class presentations. I get shake like two hours before and two hours after, my face gets really red and hot, my voice shakes, and I have to stop myself from crying. And I've got an English one coming up in a couple weeks too! http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

1. I've been having very vivid, usually upsetting dreams just recently -- I've heard it could be the Zoloft I'm on. Any ideas, anyone?

2. I dropped out of high school... twice.

3. I've dropped out of college... severaL times.

1) I am sick of the BS going on at my university. Later today we'll find out what dept's and prof's are going to be cut to reduce spending (as mandated by the governor of this wonderful state). At least the cuts aren't as much as they *could* be...

2) This past summer, a certain high-priced coffeeshop in a mall denied me a job on the basis that my hair was blonde in the front, brown in the back. (I had recently had my roots done, too, and it wasn't THAT "weird" looking.) A few days later, I was hired as a mall security dispatcher. I got joked about my hair from time to time, but they didn't care that it was two colors. Heh. And yeah, I could have raised h e l l over the denial of the job, but it was only a summer job and not really worth the effort. Besides, I still love their products.

3) I'm going to work in security dispatch again this holiday season, but I may also try to work at Hot Topic (http://www.hottopic.com) or House of Usher (http://www.house-of-usher.com) a couple of days per week. (the latter is the one I'm considering offering website services for... if I can ever learn more about encryption, etc)

1. My bf and I share a king-size bed, and now that it's cooler weather, all four of our cats sleep in bed with us throughout the night. It's nice for me when I wake up and look around and am surrounded by all this warm, fuzzy love.

2. I am continually surprised by the fact that I'm still alive at age 29 (I never expected to make it past 18, then 21, then 25, and now I'm pretty sure I'll be dead by age 35.)

3. I've been in and out of hospital always. Accident-prone, foolish, victimized, or depressed, from getting stitches in my head because of my mean old dad to nearly dying from eating a poisonous mushroom to a tubal pregnancy, and more and more. And I'd be happiest if I never had to set foot in another freakin hospital -- I hate it.

I know I shouldn't, but I'm so disappointed with the education system I just want out.

1. I just sprayed a THCIK line of ants going into my garbage for something non-existant because I've been very good at not sticking anything in there that would attract them. The line developed while I was at school for three hours. I will now feel like ants are crawling over me until tomorrow.

2. My guinea pigs have a new happy home in Dawn's room until it clears up because they always show up near their cage and I"m afraid they might get sick from the fumes.

hey thanks jadestar for the compliment on my posts.

1. my fish is dead. i'm not supprised because he did stop eating and slowly lost color. i'm bad- because i'm thinking "yay- one less thing i have to do everyday (feed him). i guess i'm just not a fish person.

2. drug use? 2 most common plus a bit of a fungus. i am the kind of geek that refuses pot all the time. usually i'm the only one in the room who does. it makes me sleepy. as for the paper drug- i like it but i think i'm done with it because you just cant trust people these days. you never know what they are mixing in. back in college after 24 hours of being awake off it- i would find that my husband has drifted off to sleep and there i was- soo tired but unable to sleep- crying because i have a pencil holder but the pencils are strewn all over the house. my revelations about my failure to be neat and orgazized would hit me- and i could see every speck of dirt. i would then scrub the bathtub and clean and i was so sad because that was the only time i had a ton energy and felt sane. yes- felt sane.

3. i have never been raped but i have to admit i have a rape fantasy. it's actually very common in women. problem is- its a totally null and void thing because it has consentual stipulations. it couldnt be a nasty guy. it couldnt be too violent. and, of course, i would have to look different. i find sexual tension to be- well- very sexual. in reality, though, rape is not appealing. it's downright repulsive. i think the fantasy has somthing to do with a loss of control... but in a good way.

1) I had a betta fish "commit suicide" once. I barely left the lid on its tank open and, well, he jumped out. I felt really bad. I still do.

2) I'm addicted to caffeine and chocolate. I'm seriously considering driving to Harris Teeter to get some ice cream even though it's 2:30 AM.

3) I'm frustrated with most of humanity. I mean, humans can think of some of the sickest, most deranged things to do to each other. :: sigh :: It's pathetic. (of course, the argument could be made that the Earth *is* overpopulated, but still...)

mel: thanks for inquiring. today is day # 10 without a fag. i won't say "yay" b/c being a non-smoker is so fuckin boring!

three random human nature facts:

1. i've had sex with so many men i couldn't possibly count them. when i'm single i only have one-night stands or screw with my male buddies. and i've wound up in bed with so many homosexual men, i couldn't count them either. but the best sex i have is when i'm in a relationship and we've gotten to know each other's bods and reactions.

2. i've been an anal sex fanatic since i was a teenager. vaginal sex is simply cute foreplay in my book.

Oh d a m n ... was I supposed to start my real life? http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I knew I forgot something!

I'm amazed at the number of people who don't like fresh tomatoes. I totally agree with whoever said that those waxy red things at the supermarket don't count: ya gotta have the real deal, right out of the dirt in someone's garden. Fresh tomatoes are one of my favorite things about Summer.

While I usually wear boxer-briefs during the day, boxers are best for just loungin' around the house. Don't think I've ever tried Drakkar Noir (I'm an Acqua di Gio man), but I'm gonna have to check it out after all the comments.

1. I have a weird (& embarrassing!) fascination with Pamela Anderson -- but VIP Pam, not Baywatch Pam.

2. I've been wanting to get a cat lately, but after 6 years of pet-free living I'm reluctant to share my home again with something that sheds.

3. I'm currently reading May Sarton's [I]Journal of a Solitude (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0393309282/)[I] and I am just blown away by it. I never thought I'd like reading a memoir, but this book has captivated me so far.

I hated tomatoes...HATED them. I hated the smell of them, the texture, the taste, even the way they look. About 2 years ago the creepy insane lady (who also happened to be a fanatic christian) gave me and my roomates 2 plastic shopping bags full of toms from her garden. I watched in horror as my friend gobbled them down. We were sooo broke. The toms were the only food in the house...so...i ate and i loved! Now i'm hooked. There is such a huge difference in garden and store bought tomatoes. Mmmm...wish I had some now http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
geesh...it's late and i'm very blabbery...sorry http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

as if THAT wasn't enough...here are 3 more things about boring, pathetic 'ole me:
1)As far as sex is concerned, I'm down with whatever. I like it all. I would like to play with bondage a little more. I'm always the one being tied down. omg did i just say that (keep going don't look back, it will all be fine, its late...they'll understand...)

2) so um...yeah...I'm going to decorate my porch for Halloween today...well, after I sleep...if I sleep (sleep is for the weak!)

3) There are few drugs I haven't tried...there are a few more I would like to try http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif my studies in this area are nearly complete. I enjoy not feeling "normal" sometimes. I don't really like myself, so It's nice to take a break every now and again.

1. I like sex shops. A friend of mine was in Japan for a year and never went to any of the sex shops!!! That would have been one of the first things I did! The whole sex industry thing is endlessly puzzling/fascinating to me.

2. I used to have a count of how many men I've slept with, but then I started forgetting people and losing track, so screw it. I've slept with a lot of men. Like kittie_naughty, tho, I find the best sex comes from being with someone over time and learning about their responses, and your own, etc.

3. If something went wrong in my relationship and I was suddenly single again, I don't think I'd have sex with anyone for a very long time. If there were an interested (and interesting) party, I would make them woo and court me quite a while. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Just woke up and had to check the boards again. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. I LOVE tomatoes! For me they are an absolute staple. I must have some in the house at all times. If push comes to shove, I'll even get those red things from the supermarket though they certaintly can't hold a cabdle to fresh out of the garden. I eat em like apples, on sandwiches, or chopped up and put on just about anything.

2. I guess my tastes haven't matured much because I only like alchohol if it 1.) tastes like a slurpee--daquaries, pina coladas, frozen mudslides etc, 2.) tastes like juice--dequila sunrise, sex on the beach, etc or 3.) is champagne. I'm *not* a big drinker which is probably a good thing since alchoholism runs in my family. I have a bottle of Khalua in my cupboard I got two years ago as a Christmas present. Its still half full. Does that stuff go bad? should I toss it?

Oh, how I love tomatoes! Do you all have those vine-ripened ones in your supermarkets? They even smell like real tomatoes. I am just a teensy bit sick of them at the moment- my garden produced way too many this year. I ate them every day.

1. I had a really enourmous black goldfish once, and he committed suicide by jumping out of his tank. We had people over and I saw this fish, about the size of a man's fist, just go flying through the air and land behind the couch. He was covered in dustbunnies when I finally fished him out. He lived only a few days after that. Dogs are so much easier to keep alive than fish. I am a convert to mammal-keeping.
2. I have a fully stocked bar (18 bottles) in my office. I'm not a big drinker, but I like to drink and LOVE the accoutrements. The bar contains 4 sets of glasses, 3 cocktail shakers, and a load of other stuff, yet I can't remember the last time I made a drink.
3. I can count the guys I've slept with, but not on one hand.

3. I got in trouble in third grade for writing mean notes about my teacher in tiny upside-down letters across the bottom of my papers. My second-grade teacher never acknowledged them in any way, and I loved her as often as not. But my third-grade teacher...she told my parents. And after taking a close look at my papers--math papers with elaborate drawings of dragons and half the problems unfinished--my Dad was *really* mad...

1.) growing up 3/4 of our rather large yard was a beautiful well-tended garden - with many tomato plants - and i still hate them - all kinds! i do like some sauces and ketchup though!

2.) i rescued my fish, miles, from the dead. i came home one afternoon to find him on the floor. dan had been painting right next to him and heard him hit the floor, but couldn't figure out what the noise was, so just kept on painting. i suspect it was the other fish that chased him out of the tank - they always tended to pick on him. miles had been out of the water for really long time. i picked him up, cupped him in the water, and massaged him for quite a while. finally he came to and started breathing on his own. it took about a day for him to fully recover. that was in '97. he's still kicking today - LONG after all his brothers and sister have died!

3.) i'm addicted to rice balls made with shiso. they're so good and so pretty! i just made some for lunch - yummy!

I would love to grow heirloom tomatoes but can't keep plants alive for long. With the exception of a Basil plant that's been going strong for SIX MONTHS now on my kitchen windowsil.

Also, on the topic of PDAs.... you must all hate me. I'm very sickeningly lovey with my special babe. Always huggling and kissing and generally being gross and pathetic. Honestly, not to annoy people. It's just how we are and we tend not to change too much when we're in public. Although there's (slightly) less groping and dirty talk. Heh.

We've been together almost four years.

Now, should I just go back and bung numbers 1, 2, 3 in that? Nah, it's fun thinking of more!

1. I subscribe to mslexia magazine (for women who write) but I just can't seem to write anything anymore. I used to write a lot (had 3 poems published) but the words just don't come anymore...

2. I love to eat those jelly diamonds cake decorations. They taste like nothing else in the world - weirdy weirdy artificial flavours, but oddly moreish.

3. I miss computer games that you could obsess over. Like Quake I - I played it right the way through on all 4 skill settings, found all the secrets, killed all the beasties, and carried on playing! And Magic Pockets on the Atari - same there, found all the secrets, found out how to warp, all the cool little hidden features... never finished it though - I always died a few inches from the final exit. Seriously, inches.... Although I have started to get a little obsessive with The Sims. I'm one of those dreaded people who has each of the million or so add-on packs. For anyone who's not bored to death yet, right now I am also playing Unreal Tournament 2003 and Silent Hill 2.

1. I just tried on like 20 outfits trying to decide what to wear tonight, and I finally settled on one...but it was really hard, seeing as i have no idea where we're going or what we're doing.

2. I am thirsty right now, but I don't know what for.

3. I hope wherever we go tonight has champagne, cuz that sounds good.

1. I take or leave tomatoes. When they're there, I eat them, when they're not, I don't. My guinea pigs love them, though. It's hiliarous when genovia eats them cause she has the longest fur and it clumps and looks like a little beard.

2. I got a bra fitting about a year ago. The lady kept refering to my boobs as "flesh" and poked and prodded me. I'm still convinced she was either gay or bi. I think she fondled them way more than she had to. It was very devestating for me and my mom didn't realize how much it would effect me like that.

3. **edit**

10-16-2002, 02:44 PM

Ha! Paperdream, they can be annoyed by me, too. I love being cuddly and touchy with my guy, and being in public doesn't stop me either. Just this morning, we were in the car, stopped at a red light, and we were kissing and tickling each other, crackin up like crazy, and i imagined the person in the car behind us rolling their eyes and saying "oh good god..."

1. That said, i am a very tactile person. I like to touch things when I'm shopping -- clothes, food, stationary, everything.

2. I still need to shave my legs and go to Osco before 5 pm.

3. I love surprises -- i never sneakily opened Christmas presents early, I never snooped when i knew where birthday presents were...i'd rather be genuinely wow'ed.

mejaka

10-16-2002, 02:52 PM

1. I love good French baguette bread with the crackly surface and the chewy inside...mmmmmm...

2. I got no-reason-at-all mail today from lobster-girl--the first Nness mail in a while and WO! It was two Helen Oxenbury prints, one of which was SIGNED! Jek, baby, you ROCK!

3. When we had been married less than a month, Brett took me by complete surprise one evening by grabbing my boobs from behind as we were crossing the Gart Sports parking lot. The store faced one of the main roads in town, so I suspect he shocked a few other people. I KNOW he shocked the wife in the elderly couple walking along the sidewalk. She stared, totally stunned, and then cracked up...and I suspect she had a hard time telling her husband what she was laughing about. (Brett is normally the background type, not prone to shocking behavior...and he looked completely blank years later when his own grandfather suggested that eggs were good for the libido. Through the laughter of various family members, Grandpa told Brett to ask *me* later what it meant...)

4. I don't like to see other people groping or making out in public, but I love seeing people walking hand in hand, hugging each other, and even kissing if it's a kiss that says, "I'd do anything for you," and not one that says, "I'd do anything WITH you and the sooner the better."

I like that distinction http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

We probably do a fair bit of both... I'm trying to be a little less tactile in front of his grandparents, but... when you're comfortable in a situation I think you start behaving in a different, much less guarded way. Or something.

1. I keep getting really inspired and having wonderful creative semi-ideas... and then not being able to carry them off. Part of the problem is extremes in confidence - to start with I'm excited and planning wonderful things... and then I feel like it's implausible and I'd only ruin it and I'd better stop before I make myself really miserable by failing in what I try to do.

2. It's way past bedtime. I so should not be here.

3. I'm going to bed.

1) I have pins and needles in both my feet right now but it's going away.

2) I am 4 degrees removed from Abe Lincoln: my dad's ex-coworker interviewed a Civil War vet back in the '50s who knew my old buddy Abe. That makes you all 5 degrees away!

3) I think my dad just dropped something upstairs in the kitchen and it made a loud RACKET. Hmmmm.. He's doing the dishes.

10-16-2002, 05:03 PM

1. My husband's brother's wife's father is descended from Abraham Lincoln...so her kids told my kids...I've never checked up.
2. paperdream--two years ago I conceived of an idea and just grabbed that baby and didn't let go until I'd done it. I painted my daughter's nursery *exactly* as I wanted--oil paint, wall murals, no modifications for time or cost. It was the first time in forever that I had seen a project through to the end without changing it into a weak shadow of itself before I got done. When I put my signature on the wall (in oil paint pen) it felt SO GREAT! (Then we moved...)
3. I bought three new bras this year...the first bras that have fit me in 15 years. (I read that the average woman buys three bras *every* year! Could that be true?) I have never spent so much on bras, but I'm hard to fit, and for once I knew that no pregnancy/baby/nursing was going to come along to ruin things...so I just went out and tried them on until I found one that fit, then bought three of it and hang the price. (Oh...want to know how many it took? 54 bras. FIFTY FOUR. And three separate shopping trips.)

Tomato=so so for me, ok in salads or on a burger sliced super thin please. My daughter once woke up before me when she was 2 & had them strewn all over the kitchen with one or two bites taken out of each one.

I've also read every post on this thread.

1. Whenever I get home after a shopping trip I always yell out "Momma's home!" so my puppy ChiChi & cat Salem will come running to greet me. They're my babies!

2. I call my daughters ShitZu, Shelby, my "grandpuppy girl" and puppysit when she goes out of town. I even send e-mails to her & ask her if she wants to come visit her "granny".

3. My nickname used to be "Blondie" when I had blonde hair & later it was "Hot Stuff" ( hence the tat mentioned in an earlier post). These days it's "The Witch".

10-16-2002, 06:45 PM

I'm procrastinating again--this thread is just great for that.

I've read all the posts, too!

When I come home, my little cat is always at the door to greet me. I call her silly names and pick her up to give her a little hug and I swear she rolls her eyes! But she puts up with it--I think she likes this little ritual, too. (cat-haters feel free to gag here).

So now I will tell you. . .

1. As if my cat's name weren't silly enough (its June Bug), one of the silly names I call her is Bugitha~which I guess stuck in my head when I needed a screen name.

2. I once spent $8 for a half-pound box of turkish delight simply because that's what the White Witch fed Edmund in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe to keep him in Narnia. Curiosity often gets the better of me and my money. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

3. I'm gonna go write a proposal for a class project now. No really, I am. I swear. Yup. Here I go. Really.

1. i tend to mail out all of my pen pal letters at once, and then get frustrated when everyone writes back en masse.http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif today i mailed out 7 letters. if we write to each other, expect one.http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Melbernai

10-16-2002, 08:40 PM

I'm gonna post more then 3 things cuz i just like to break rules and don't feel like making multiple posts.

1) Once a guy I was hanging out with asked me to put a finger up his butt, and he liked it a lil too much I think. He asked for more, and I just kinda bugged out and stopped.

2) I've had sex with 10 people. All you one-person-sexers kinda make me feel liek a mega-slut.

3) I usually shave before i go on a "date" so i guess that means i'm usually looking to get some.

4) I have only smoked pot a few times, but strangely enough I usually either didn't feel the effects or ended up hallucinating. One time I hallucinated that there were black cats all over my apartment, climbing on my head, on the ceiling, on the walls, and yet, i don't eevn have one cat.

5) I think the perfect male for me is 6'3," stocky, dirty blonde hair, and is a computer geek by day, but knows how to fix my shitty car by night.

6) I am french, spanish, polish, russian, german, irish and czech. All of those go back to my great grandparents. My grandparents and parents were all born in America.

7) There is a 20 year age difference between the sibs in my family. My brother is 34 and my sister is 14.

8) One time I was moving my fish from the tank to the container I was bringing them to college in, and I dropped my zebra danio on the desk lamp, and he kinda sizzled on the lightbulb. I had a hard time getting him off cuz it was so hot, but when I put him back in the water he went back to swimming. He lived for about 4 years after that.

9) I really wanna get a kitty.

10) I am a chronic note-passer. It started probably when I was about in 2nd grade and it carried on through highschool and college. I was even passing notes at the faculty meeting on tuesday.

11) Last time I had sex was 3 months ago. I'm feeling deprived.

I've read every post too!

1.) I kneel a lot...at the table, at the computer desk, everywhere. I don't even notice, it's just comfortable. My husband will say, 'why don't you just use a chair?!?' I even scoot across the room on my knees sometimes.

2.) There is no limit on the number of dogs you can own in my area. I have a neighbor who has 11 dogs. Right now they are all barking. It's loud. It happens a lot - we live near (practically in) an old apple orchard, so a lot of little critters come through here and stir the dogs up.

3.) I get caught dancing. The little radio in my head never shuts off, so often times I'll unconsciously be doing little jiggly jigs. People will stop in the middle of their sentence and say things like, 'Just what you doing there?'. I got caught in a critique once - the instructor saw me, smiled and joined me in my little dance, soon everyone was laughing at me.

woo hoo! i am now the proud owner of a $675 dollar statue of a nude bather!

1. i guess i am one rewmoved from abe lincoln because i've been in his house before and live in the town he grew up in. i am not impressed by this fact. i am so sick of lincoln.

2. i don't think anyone is a slut who has slept with more then one person. i have this feeling i will die only have having sex with just one person. sometimes i think i should have gotten more experience in while i had a chance- but then again i dont see the point. i'm not a social person and having sex with multiple people would mean i would have to be social.

3. i almost had sex with a 26 year old when i was 15. i got drunk at a party and i had only a glimpse of this guy before he led me into a dark bedroom. from the glimpse- i didn't find him attractive in the least. he made me touch his member (which was tiny) and i refued the sex part. we pasesed out and then i made him take me home. my breasts were black and blue. i refused to see him after that. he started dating a friend of my sisters. she got pissed at him once and jammed a hair chopstick up his dick. 2 weeks ago i found out he's getting married now. after all that i became very cautious about men.

4. my sisters highschool boyfriend and her had an open relationship. he was constantly trying to screw me. i would go over to his parents house with my sister and they would have sex in the room i was in while i was playing nintendo. on one such occasion his mother walked in. after my sister dumped him- he started to date my best friend for 5 years. it took me a total of about 10 years to get him out of my life.

Melbernai - your poor little fishie! oh, my!

1.) There's a 18 year difference in age between my parents and a 14 year difference between my oldest and youngest siblings.

2.) I've never done any illegal drugs - very much to the amazement of my acquaintances, apparently... One day a bunch of my college classmates got together - a kind of conference of sorts - and then approached me with their 'analysis'. They said, 'We've decided that if you ever want to try drugs, that you should just start out with heroin, because, man, nothin' else is gonna even touch you.'

3.) My husband loves peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. This totally freaks me out. I tried it once, just to see - ick... I don't know how he does it...then again, I like lots of stuff that he doesn't like...

3. I'm absurdly excited about the fact that there is a women's lunch tomorrow. (It's a casual thing, started aeons ago by a couple of friends, grew to a group, kept on going, now any time someone is sociality-deprived they call five or six people and say, "Lunch, 11:30, my house, spread the word"--and 30 women show up with food.)

veow - the blah bug has got me too. I keep looking at my LMAOs and wondering when the due dates are when I know they aren't for a couple of weeks yet.

that said, I DID send out 4 things today. And received one gorgeous Dalai Lama LMAO. Maybe it will get me back into the swing of things.

Katiekat - tighty whitys. argh A guy friend recently wrote me that he was writing me my email in his underwear. And said it was kinky. I wrote him back asking what was so kinky about WHITE fruit of the looms?!?

Just Su - have you ever heard of the Century Project (http://century.conknet.com/)? It is nude photography of women of different ages. Truly inspiring. The reason I mention this to you is many of them have gone through breast cancer and such.

eenie - i just bought a sampling of burt's bees lipstick. I don't know what i am going to do when it runs out!

bugitha - I call my nephew that I watch buja when is good chuga when he is bad. And I don't know why i made them up either. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif And I also like frou frou drinks. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

wombat - did you see the HARRY POTTER LMAO? I can alter random cheap books but I don't know about HP.

guinea - I stopped liking kissing when a boyfriend of mine had chronic haliotosis that was uncurable. I didn't like it again until 2 years after I divorced my husband, we did the ol pretending to get back together thing and kissed. If he kissed then the way he kisses now, maybe him cheating on me wouldn't have been so bad! But maybe he's had extra practice. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

*on sex* - I feel like a slut too. I have slept with 13 guys, although I really can't tell anybody that. I have to say 12 because one of them was a personal friend of the family. As far as rape scenarios, I think as long as they are controlled they are ok. There is a BIG difference between roleplaying and real rape. I am so nervous about sex lately because I don't hang around places that aren't vanilla and i don't know about going out with a vanilla guy and actually finding out that he really IS vanilla.

Three more things eh. ok

1. I went to a taping of From The Top, the "most listened to classical show" in America. Someone gave me the ticket. I went in part because a guy i know was on a semi date with a gal and i was semi jealous. And he did that thing where he saw me and then didn't say anything. And she is the one that ended up telling me hello and beckoning me over there. Although i shouldn't have gone over there. And she doesn't KNOW why i would be jealous. SHE doesn't know I like him. And I wasn't stalking them. And my hands must be tired from typing all of this down.

2. Tomorrow i am going with my brother to go hear the guy that wrote "kiss before dying" speak. I found out that that same girl asked the guy out again to this thing. And their seating is going to be right next to mine. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

3. On a different note, I am wearing that mud stuff on my face and have been for the past hour reading all of the stuff on this board. I need to go wash it off now.

1. there have been so many freaky fish stories in this thread, that i wound up subconsciously doing a piece of tag art with a fish theme last night. i thought that was funny. i also have a freaky fish story (i never realised how common it is!): i won a goldfish at the school fair when i was in the fifth grade. fred, the fish, didn't live that long. one morning he was floating in his little fish bowl, so i scooped him out and flushed him down the toilet. about a day-and-a-half later, i went to the toilet for a pee, opened the lid, and there was fred swimming around in the toilet bowl. my mouth fell open in astonishment, fred gave me a very dirty look and would've tossed me the finger if he had had any, and then he quickly disappeared down the toilet.
i never heard from him again.

2. i've only done cocaine once, and all it did to me was make me have a bowel movement within ten minutes. i went and ordered a beer afterward.

3. i don't get along with women very well at all in real life.

Will I ever run out of just 3 more things?....

1. I'm 6 years older than my present hubby.

2. One time I slashed a guys tires & car seats because he wouldn't pay me & my friend the $400 he owed us. He blamed her & even when I admitted it to him he thought I was covering for her. 20 years later he still thinks she did it & refuses to accept I would do such an evil deed...hehehe.

3. When I was 16 I stole 3 thousand dollars from my moms purse so I could run away to Vegas & be a showgirl. I got as far as the bus stop & purchased my ticket (to the nearest town with a large airport 100 miles away) before she discovered it was missing. If my parents had not decided to purchase prize bull sperm from England that day I would have been on my way to Vegas. Must have been some good shit to cost that much!

1. Heehee! I slashed my grandfather's tires when I was about 5. It was more of a poke, really, with my pocket knife. What a sh-itstorm that created!

2. I once attempted to flush a living, but, we thought, near death goldfish when I was a little kid. It barely had any fins left due to some fin-rot disease. After swimming successfully against the current for 3 or 4 flushes, I put him back in the tank, where he lived happily for quite some time.

3. For summer entertainment, I got the notion to buy my dog a kiddie pool and put a bunch of teeny goldfish (feeders) in it and let him at it. I think it's the most fun he's ever had in his life, but the neighbors thought I was nuts.

vanilla guy. well people say vanilla sex in the BDSM world (which I am not a part of but know some people who are). Vanilla sex is plain missionary, normal. I am not truly kinky but would not like it if a guy i went out with was not kinky at all. aka a vanilla guy. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. I accidentally got up late this morning because my clock had been messed up by my nephews. I actually had to be domestic and drive them to school today. Usually one takes the bus and then I take the other one to day care at a reasonable time.

2. I have to work alone today. Three more weeks until the girl i work with gets off of maternity leave.

3. my mother is currently asleep next to the computer so i am trying to type quietly. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. I find it somewhat disconcerting that I knew the term "vanilla" used in the way it was used above. I only learned it recently and from something I read (I can see it on the page in my memory), and now I can't remember WHAT I would have been reading that would have explained that, but whatever it was it wasn't fit for me to read. This is going to BUG me.

2. I am right now making spicy pepper-cheese bread.

3. I always comment when I think the school is not doing something right--I hate the way they teach typing, for example, and have complained about it to Brett, and discussed with my middle-schooler how to circumvent the poor teaching method so he can be a riptide typist like his mom. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif However, today when my 5th grader said that Dad told him they were teaching viola incorrectly (Brett played the violin), I was rather annoyed and told Braden to just trust the teacher, she must have something she's trying to help them learn. I am really ashamed of myself for this double standard and intend to fix it beginning immediately.

1. I actually made it to class this morning.

2. It's sunny, but freakin' cold! (no, not all canadians like the cold winters!)

3. We (my class) got given an extension on our essays until Wednesday.

4. This coming week is Reading Week, so there are no classes and I'm going home. That means I'll have to MAIL my essay in if I don't finish it by Friday. She said that's ok as long as it's postmarked by Wednesday.

5. I hate it when profs put due dates in the middle of one of your weeks off when most people go home!

6. I'm hungry. Therefore, I am having more homemade chicken casserole for lunch momentarily. Then I'm going up to campus to read.

1. I did a shot of Ouzo last night -- even though I hate black licorice, which is exactly what Ouzo tastes like. Blecch!!

2. I am so very tired. Chris & I stayed up way too late, and when I actually did try to go to sleep, drunken Chris wouldn't stop singing (loudly) to me (but they were love songs, so that's sweet). Earlier in the night, while putting the moves on me, he smacked his head on the headboard. Even though it hurt him, i laughed my ass off. (He's fine.)

3. What I want, right now, is to be at home, wrapped in my down comforter, sleeping.

2. i just finished medox's voodoo bot and am now stitching away (in between typing & reading) sistasmell's bot pillows!

3. i once won a goldfish at a school fair. we named it lucky and it lived for 7 years. even though it flipped out of the bowl twice. a cat got to it once. it fell down the still spinning albeit slowly, garbage disposal and an earthquake knocked it's bowl over...we had a bnch of other fish but lucky ate tehm. our last two remaining fish were put into their own bowl. they were named fric & frac.

i like peanut butter and JELLY, not pickles... http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

ah- ok, gotcha. it's exactly the same in German ("Vanille-Sex"). I didn't think it was that easy. heck, it was eight in the morning when i read it and i was wondering if you were referring to white guys. i wasn't awake! *embarrassed* http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

WitchDust - don't worry - i'm not. i seriously doubt i'll end up in h e l l, and if i do, it won't be because of sweet you! i was just pondering the silliness of fundamentalism in any flavor. (today i'm ill with the terrorists and if i get started on that, will soon degenerate into a foaming-mouth rant) struck me as totally stupid, the notion that christians shouldn't hang around with wiccans. i dunno for sure, but from what i do know, i doubt wiccans promote a similar reciprocal attitude. and when you get to heaven, i'll be there to fluff your wings. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. i'm supposed to be populating a database with deliverables.

2. i'm not.

3. in my art workspace at home, i have 83 pens, mostly gel.

JustSu-You count your pens? I've got TONS of pens around my deskspace. Pens, markers, pencils, highlighters, gelpens... I've even got one of thost packs of 64 different kinds of gel pens at my feet. When I want a regular pen, I have trouble finding them. I need to buy more lol

1. I'm doing a couple exchanges for homemade postcards. I'm worried mine won't be good enough because I've never tried my hand at it until a couple days ago.

2. Whenever I sneeze, it's never a single sneeze. It's always in twos or threes (or more!)

3. I think the guinea pigs might be permenantly in Dawn's room. I love the space in my room and Dawn loves the company

1. I wish someone would either tickle my back or play with my hair right now.

2. I get to eat Thai food for dinner tonight! Check out my favorite (& birthday dinner destination) restaurant, Thai Place (http://www.kcthaiplace.com). ooh yum.

3. I still really, really, really, want a nap.

4. The ex-boyfriend of mine that realized he was gay pierced his, ahem, t'aint without telling me, and i accidentally discovered it while going down on him. This pissed me off, and added to my lack-of-trust issue.

Wow... interesting posts, guys. It really does grow almost exponentially whenever I don't check it, um, hourly. :: hangs head ::

Veow, I'm concerned about you too, but I'll wait to read the thread you started before saying more. I'll comment over there, by the way.

1) I caught part of the 700 Club this morning (it was on whatever channel my boyfriend was watching last night) and remembered more reasons I dislike certain people in the Virginia Beach area.

2) On my agenda for the week: write a letter of commendation to the univ. pres. and the budget advisory committee, write letters to as many legislators as is possible, finish writing penpal letters and send them out, send out a crapload of postards.

3) I'm hungry and I have to pee.

4) I miss my boyfriend and I wish we could both just effing relax for once and be able to enjoy our Alone Time more. :: sigh ::

5) I'm still fuming about a lot of the idiots who came out to the budget meeting last night. I'll post about it in my LJ later.

6) This weekend I will officially start learning Perl. I'm borrowing a couple of books from my boyfriend and I plan on buying another one (the llama book (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0596001320/qid=1034884265/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-9429627-8684643?v=glance&n=507846)).

7) The jets from, well, one of the bases around here are doing flyovers. I think it's funny when people who are new to the area wince at the noise they make. I've grown up with it and rarely even notice it anymore.

8) I think I'm going to make pasta when I finish adding stuff to this list.

9) By the end of this semester, I plan on writing my own program and having it up on the internet for people to use.

1. I want more of this thread! I am totally addicted and get really excited when a new post is added.

2. My brother once tickled me until i threw up. It freaked him out and I laughed.

3. He also used to "turn me off" with the TV remote. I was about 5, he was 11. He'd push the mute or power button while aiming the remote at me, then ignore me no matter what I did (the only time I could hit, bite, and climb on him w/o repercussions). The situation always ended with me in tears, begging for him to turn me back on. And when he wouldn't, my mom had to make him aim the remote at me & push the on button, then acknowledge my presence.

4. This is the most bored I've ever been while at work. I wish I had some lmao's here to work on.

I love reading everyone's crazy facts! I'm going away for a week tomorrow and I dread to think how many pages of facts there will be when I get back!

La la la...

1. I am currently listening to Ella Fitzgerald's "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered"

2. Today I was talking about my favourite flag at work and we got into a massive debate because people couldn't understand why I like the Japanese flag rather than the good old Union Jack - they were only thinking patriotically not stylistically! I love the simple elegance of the Japanese flag...ramble...ramble...ramble....

3. I was working with glitter last night for an LMAO and I was sleepy so I rubbed my eyes and got them full of glitter - I wish I could say it was cute like being sprinkled with fairy dust but really it was just gritty and annoying!

1. I forgot my rings and bracelets at home. Now my hands feel naked. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

2. My hair feels really soft right now. ^_^

3. I have to stay after class to have the teacher help me to understand something I have no concept of (some audo hertz recording something or other)

1. Kids at school used to mistake my younger brother for my boyfriend. We walked hand in hand, or he'd put his arm around me, and always opened doors and stuff.

2. Kids at school used to mistake my father for my boyfriend. We walked hand in hand or he would put his arm around me, and we laughed a lot and he would sometimes skip with me or other goofy stuff.

3. A few years ago, I had one of Brett's co-workers arrange with her daughter to lure Brett to the parking lot of Denny's ("Brett, Katie's got my car, she's had a fender-bender, she's terrified to drive because of the accident she was in last month, can you take me to get her?") on our anniversary. Katie then claimed to have left her VISA in Denny's by the phone, would Brett go get it--and of course I was waiting inside with his favorite order and all...The funny thing is, when his co-worker asked her daughter to help kidnap him for our 10th anniversary, she said, "They're MARRIED? No WAY! They can't have been married ten years--I thought they were boyfriend and girlfriend!" Her reasoning--we held hands and stuff.......

veow, doonnn't go! I, too, am concerned about you. Any way I can help?

Peanut butter and pickles??? Um, no thanks. I like peanut butter and honey.

1. Speaking of honey, I used to collect the honey bears the stuff comes in. Isn't that just the cutest packaging?

2. I tried to post earlier from the computer lab at school when I was "working on my thesis" yeah. right. But it didn't work.

3. Since eggs, dill pickles, and diet pepsi are the ONLY things in my fridge, I'm thinking its gonna be an interesting night, dinner-wise.

Oh my geez! I didn't begin to tackle this thread until today (at work, mind you), and I've spent 2/3 of my work day reading these posts! Aren't I just a good little workerbee? And I have to confess that I skipped pages 22-30 or so, because it was all just too much! I think I missed a lot of good sex talk, though. Okay, first I need to catch up on some responses. (I took notes- how pathetic is that?!)

Death_or_Aldona: The Jerk is #1 on my list of all time best comedies. Z'anne: Young Frankenstein is #2. "These movies... these are all I need. I don't need anything else. Oh, except for The Commitments. I need the Commitments. Just The Jerk, Young Frankenstein and The Commitments. That's all I need..."
Oh, also I *love* to sneeze! It's almost orgasmic! The anticipation, the buildup, the release! The sun makes me sneeze.

Katie_kat: Ahh! Burt's Bees and Lush! Burt's Bees lipstick is a miracle! First they come out with the best chapstick in the world, then they add it to a lipstick that's smoother than Mac. Lovely! And Lush!!!! Have you ever tried the Butterball bath bomb? Filled w/ little chunks of cocao butter and looks like a fatty sausage frying when it desolves. Leaves a greasy coat on your skin that absorbs right after you dry off & leaves you feeling and smelling amazing! Do I sound like an infomercial yet?

Oh, and veow: I was involved in your Movie Poster LMAO, so of course had to look through your page. Just wanted you to know I think you're beautiful. Hang in there. And don't get down about being down. If it's how you feel, it's okay. We've all been there at times. Take care.

Wow, well that's all I'll respond to for now. I'm not one of you crazies trying to write a novel in a month! So my 1st 3 facts:

1. My beau is 18 years my senior (chronologically only). We've been together for 7 years, living together for 5, and no, we're not engaged. (My choice-- just don't wanna right now). And yes, I was 'legal' the whole time!

2. I passionately enjoy following ant trails, hunting down the colonies and anhilating them. I didn't used to like to kill any little creature, but a month ago they invaded my kitchen en force, and now nothing satisfies me more than wiping them out whenever I can find them. (hehe, I guess you don't wanna get on my bad side. kidding).

3. Back to the finding porn: When I was middleschooler looking for XMas gifts in my parents' bedroom, I found my dad's 'secret' drawer. It contained a Penthouse magazine from **1976** (a year before I was born), and a hand-knit little number that I can only describe as a 'penis sock,' or maybe 'mitten.' What the *&*^?
