Three random facts:

[medeous]

1. nan gets the computer when she's finished with her homework

2. she got sims: making magic today

3. i bought a dvd player

[medeous]

1. she got a new game because her report card was really good

2. i got the dvd player because i found my state income tax return check under a couch cushion

3. that's god rewarding me for cleaning

[kittymao]

I'm making a cake! The cake isn't from scratch, but I'm going all out- I even pulled out the mixer, I seperated Eggwhites for the cake so it'll be SUPA-white and fluffy, and-and- From-scratch rasberry topping! I totally plan on making it a two-layer cake too. Even though I haven't done it. But there's a first time for everything!

Yeay, gwensmom! I'm so excited about the book for our exchange! I bet it's gorgeous! * le sigh*

The Need For Speed game is really getting to me. I REALLY WANT TO PLAY.

[medeous]

1. i'm going to work on ATCs tomorrow at work during my break.

[cindi1023]

1. I think we have a new 3 random facts addict (Hi, Tanagee!)

2. My earlier rage has subsided, so I'm not feeling very creative.

2. Evan is Jordan's best friend. We talked about things a little, and around things alot.

3. I should eat some leftovers and call it "supper".

[cindi1023]

1. Maybe if I can work up some anger about something, I can get some nness projects finished....

2. Like Kittymao, sometimes I feel like I complain too much.... but I don't think I do it in the whaaa-why-does-everything-bad-always-happen-to-me way.... I'd like to think that it's in a more humerous way (except for today's earlier rant-post....)

3. Hubs is home, so I better look busy.... :P

[jonnynobody]

I think President Bush looks like a monkey

> I don't think we should insult the monkey like that...

> I want to start a newbie LMAO, but I haven't finished getting my PIF's out yet.

> My side hurts. I don't know why...

[jonnynobody]

> The thing popped out and I must admit...I was amused.

> I'm pathetic. -_-

I hope we can vote he-who-resembles-a-monkey out of office this year

1 - I love the movie A Mighty Wind

2 - I dislike folk music

3 - So does Christopher Guest and Gang.... which makes A Mighty Wind even better

1. I wonder what tanagee has against monkeys, especially since I finally heard the BNL monkey song...

2. Monkeys are way cuter than george bush, IMHO.

3. Monkeys fling stuff that is way smarter the George bush, IMHO...

[bluecrayon]

1. I'm never around here when jonnynobody is -- shucks.

2. I keep missing Suesomon, too...

3. And medeous and Hammerquill's parties always end by the time my clock goes off...

ah, well. :(

[Bugitha]

1. Three random facts is the one thread I have read every post on.

2. After being off line for one stinking day, I was surprised to come back to 13 pages of random facts to catch up on! :o

3. When it comes to random facts, the more the merrier.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I feel the need to bump up some chain games before bed

2. I'm watching star trek while I do laundry :P

3. well...my hubs is the one who's actually doing the laundry, but I'm being very supportive of him as he takes on this task ;)

[tanagee]

1. I have nothing against monkeys.

2. I am taking my daughter to the zoo tomorrow so she can yell "MOOOONKEEEYYYYSSS" when she see's them.

3. My old boss LOVED monkeys, almost too much.

[kittymao]

Cake turned out okay. Topping was nice. Did two layers, but as it was a topping and not frosting, I fear it may go soggy before anyone eats it.

*looks at watch* Rudy is supposed to have CALLED already.

Am majorly stressed about registration fees, but hopefully it will be cleared up by tomorrow. I hope. I just keep thinking the worst.

[bluecrayon]

1.Just got home from my bass violin lesson -- dissonance dancing down my fingers.

2. He wants to know so much about me -- what is a "me" -- do they sell "me" things at franchise stores???

3. I like underground and mystery and secrets and never recognizing my shadows...

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. we found laundry detergent that isn't made by proctor and gamble, and has a pleasant scent that my hubs can tolerate

2. he is in the process of e-mailing the detergent company to tell them how much he loves their product

3. i find this very amusing. i love his obsessive personality sometimes...

hey, that might get you some free laundry detergent ;)

[Seusomon]

1. I've been a bushorchimp.com fan since the early days

2. It is demeaning to monkeys.

3. But there is pleasure in the free association sequence Bush - monkey - France

[Seusomon]

I'm using "fast reply"

It's so FAST

But I can't do bold or italic, so I have to just type FAST in caps

[Seusomon]

There's no flood control on FAST REPLY

I don't think the implications of this have been completely explored yet

I can't wait until "report" appears, so I can report myself for being FAST

[Seusomon]

Ohmigod, Report is here

I'm afraid to touch it

I wonder if someone will report me for being afraid to report myself

[Seusomon]

This is fun

But these facts are not random

They are like ticker tape

[Christine_0701]

you can't type in the tags and make it work?

i find that very odd

maybe i'll have to try it out ;)

[Christine_0701]

testing bold

testing italics

testing underline

[Seusomon]

I'm worried about bluecrayon

I think she should post FASTER

It would keep her scribbly

[Seusomon]

Yeah, I can type in the tags

But that would slow me down

I want FAST

[Seusomon]

Bluecrayon is here

She's not as FAST as I am

But I love her anyway

[Seusomon]

I think Christine should not be allowed to use FAST REPLY

If she does, I may REPORT her

Even though she's really pretty, and I have a flirtatious reputation here

[Seusomon]

Oh no, Christine is here

I fear she will be too FAST for me

Whatever will I do?

[Christine_0701]

and why shouldn't i be allowed to use it?

it's not like i'm in the lead :P

....

[Seusomon]

I really should go to bed

Just when I'm starting to have fun

Woe is me

[Christine_0701]

you'll probably just get way ahead

i'll keep doing my posts legitimately

because i don't want the forums to crash from too many ppl posting too much

[Seusomon]

That's not a fact

I'm going to REPORT you

I am going to bed

[Christine_0701]

fast reply actually does have the flood control

it's just faster if you're a slow typer

for me, if i use it, i get the flood control anyways, so i'll just wait and use the regular add reply button

[bluecrayon]

1. I am fending off sleep and thinking...noisy gods of conscience stay away from me!

2. I like him and that might be even more tingly than loving him is...

3. Sometimes I close my eyes and let my fingers make art just by feeling texture -- I think it might be more honest than what I do with my eyes...

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- Ohhhh, I am in awe of the "report" feature too.

-2- Which reminds me: Neto hasn't been here in a long time. Gosh darn it. ;)

-3- Last night, I bought Lily a blue dress with multicolored ladybugs on it for her first birthday.

[medeous]

1. i've never seen any of bluecrayons art

2. i'm happy she's happy and tingly in like again

3. i dislike having to do things in the evenings, like ferrying my daughter to guitar lessons, attending DARE graduation, PTA meetings, etc.

[medeous]

1. i've noticed that i'm pretty crabby lately about stuff but not to people

2. that's a slight improvement

3. in lieu of a new mattress, i got one of those foamy egg carton things for my bed and now it's too comfy and i oversleep quite often

[medeous]

1. since cindi posted about her slowly creeping and twisting sock, my own left sock has developed the same tendency

2. i dreamed about three girl snakes nicely quarreling over one boy snake

3. really only two of them were involved, the other was just an extra

[medeous]

1. so anyway, the two snakes that wanted the boy snake were the skinny young pretty one and the slightly older, pudgier and funny one.

2. when i left them, they were comparing their invisible feet in an effort to decide who deserved the boy snake more.

3. apparently, the pudgier snake had some hereditary weirdness with her invisible feet which included a very high, star shaped instep...and this was a good thing.

[medeous]

1. i identified more with the older pudgier snake

2. i didn't dislike the skinnier younger snake, she was quite amiable

3. i didn't think the boy snake was the brightest crayon in the box, but he too was nice and some sort of high muckety-muck in snake politics

[medeous]

1. my feet are not invisible

2. my instep is not star shaped

3. i remember this bit of dialogue:

skinny girl snake: you'll be coming with me
boy snake: why's that?
skinny girl snake: i prefer that you obey (said with a snakey smile)

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I think an animation studio is pitching its new feature through Medeous's dreams.

-2- I would see that movie.

-3- I always liked that snake in The Jungle Book. What was his name? Kaa?

[sarahkate]

--3- I always liked that snake in The Jungle Book. What was his name? Kaa?
1. Yup, that's right! I just did a search on The Jungle Book to double check.

2. I'm back at work after being "sick" for 2 days. I'm not so happy about it <_<

3. It's currently -12° F here. Brrrrrrr.

[stargal1998]

1. I want some Funky Monkey (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=817&ncid=757&e=10&u=/ap/20040114/ap_on_fe_st/singapore_funky_monkey_underwear) underpants.

2. I just had an Otis Spunkmeyer chocolate chocolate chip muffin (twice the chocolate, so the calories cancel each other out).

3. I think Otis Spunkmeyer puts some chemical in their muffins, so that you have to eat at least one a week (I know people who eat one a day).

1. Now I want Funky Monkey underpants too! (Do you think cyph0r could get them for us?)

2. I was pretty sure that the Thai deli I used to frequent put some kind of addictive drugs in their Pad Thai because I would wake up every morning craving their food. I would actually skip class just to eat there.

3. I want to go back to Missoula and eat. I miss lots of food from there: anything from the aforementioned Thai deli, chicken strips and fries from Flippers, and the ricotta, sun dried tomato, and spinach pizza from The Bridge. Drool-worthy.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. goodygoodygosh. several pages to read since i went out at 7pm last night...

2. craft supply shopping today...

3. one month to valentine's day...

[thunderstorm_19]

1. hate valentine's day.

2. matt also hates it.

3. need shower. (yes, coffee and nervousness come first. then i shower).

[thunderstorm_19]

1. flood control now says "wait 20 seconds".

2. it used to say "wait 30 seconds".

3. the cat kicked me out of bed this morning.

[chunkymonkey]

1. I can't seem to get any good ideas for these dada inspired atcs I have to do, and it's really starting to bug me.

2. I need to come up with $249 by monday. :unsure:

3. on a brighter note, I had a long deep night's sleep peppered with very interesting dreams. ;)

[Christine_0701]

1. funky monkey underwear look very cool ;)

2. again i had very weird dreams....not as weird as my ear coming off, though

3. i also didn't sleep that good this morning because I was worried about my alarm not going off

[stargal1998]

1. I just found out I am right on target for my job.

2. If I plan this right, I can wow everyone with a presentation and make everyone realize how awesome I am...

3. Too bad my annual review was on monday...

[Seusomon]

1. I've finished reviewing my page proofs. I have a lot fewer changes than my coauthor does.

2. I would like to obey a young skinny female snake

3. I wonder if Medeous's dream is connected with bluecrayon's post about climbing onto Sam and hissing.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I am trying to do my 'get organized' thread but it's very hard not to just play chain games instead. Still, I must be strong.

-2- I am very hungry, but may be having lunch with kismet09, so I am waiting to hear from her before I eat.

-3- I haven't seen much of possum or yardenxanthe around the forums lately and it makes me sad.

[Cuilanië]

- I seem to be under the radar without having realised I was.

- Wonder if someone will report me for posting from under the radar. ;) :P

- I shouldn't be posting anyway - I've some work to finish before heading home.

[cindi1023]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

1. I would definatly buy monkey underpants.

2. I'm glad I'm not the only one to have left-foot-allergic-to-my-socks problems.

3. My coworkers are still being sucky.... I've resorted to throwing things instead of yelling.... :unsure:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. We slept in for the first time in a looong time. It was nice.

2. my boy skipped class today so he could spend the morning with me....in case I go away and won't have a morning w/ him in a while

3. he just got a call and set up a job interview with a place he really wants to work at.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. as anxious as I feel...it's still been a good day so far

2. I'm feeling a bit more hopeful

3. I have to go bump up some chain games

[Cuilanië]

- I love the Fast Reply button

- I'm disturbed by the Report button

- I should leave my office and go home, now...

[kittymao]

I'm goin' to the city today! I'm also going to take some stuff to mail, as my Australian friend Jan says that the Macy's in Union Square has a post office in the basement.

But not just that- I have to go register for classes. It's really late of me to do so, but I just got the cash for it last night. I may have put my motehr in some hurt by doing so, but if I don't register for that ONE STUPID CLASS as soon as possible, I may as well just not GRADUATE.

So' I'm trussed up and ready to go, just wanted to get some addys and post a bit. Then I'll scat.

[Cuilanië]

- I have an appointment with my chiropractor in an hour. I have to go now.

- One of my co-workers has about a zillion phone calls to make this evening... I pity her. :(

- I'm leaving now. Honest. :lol:

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

1 I had my first Chiropractic appointment one monday

2 I had no idea it had a whole lot more to it than just making my back and neck feel better

3 I am more hopeful today than yesterday

[freckledcutie]

1. I was out of work the past 2 days because my daughter was sick

2. Today is her birthday

3. She said it was the worst birthday ever

[nymphette]

1: i dont 'like fast reply.. i just spent ALL my computer time trying to catch up.... JUST on the 3 random facts thread!!!!!!

2: i hope cindi is feeling less pi$$ed off today.... or was that today she was posting about??? too many posts... can't keep track.....

3: i feel like big brother is watching me with the report button.... and i am strangely tempted to report myself on a previous post...... wonder what would happen??????

It's hard to find anything that ISN'T A Proctor and Gamble product these days and I hate them!!! Evil company errr!

[nymphette]

1: i made a new LMAO, my first since last april

2: i hope more forumers join up!!!!

3: i guess i hve a project to do now.... can't just be making random stuff to clutter up my table till it's sent.. i have a purpose in life again.... ;)

[cindi1023]

1. I :wub: the Fast Reply! So much better than that damn flood control message!

2. I am less pissed off today, but my coworkers are still jerks!

3. I'm trying to be more optimistic and positive... but it's hard when you're used to being a curmudgeon (sp?)

[Christine_0701]

1. you can still get flood control with the fast reply, if you type fast enough ;) which is my problem lol

2. if you hit the report button, it sends a message to a moderater or member of the BOD....i'm not sure if you get to say why you think the msg is innappropriate, or not, though

3. I learnt this last night ;)

[thunderstorm_19]

1. oh so THAT's what the fast reply thing is...

2. the report button (which i have accidentally clicked on 3 times today) DOES give you a window to type in why you are reporting a message.

3. lunch yummy.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- It's supposed to snow tonight. Super-Rats!

-2- Speaking of rats, Miss Marley is the proud owner of a rat filled with catnip, and she carries it around in her mouth, periodically plopping down to "groom" it. The shell is like windbreaker material, so it makes a loud scrapey sound when she licks it. Cracks me up!

-3- I understand that the Professor = Pride, Maryann = Envy, Ginger = Vanity, The Howells = Greed, the Skipper = Gluttony and Anger, but what is Gilligan? Sloth is left, yet Gilligan worked pretty hard. So I am puzzled.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. weather crappy. snow yucky. weather cold. skin dry.

2. shoes wet.

3. am using fast reply button first time ever. too cool.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. oh how i love lewiscraft being so close (same plaza) as loomis art store.

2. went in both stores. spent under $30 total. Am proud of self for such restraint.

3. supposed to meet friend in 3.25 hours ish. Is horrible outside. Might re-schedule.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. neeeeeeeeeeed used postage. lots. especially with images of paintings/artworks.

2. received the anti-idling window decals today. post was quick for once. (course, it was only local).

3. slight headache. think i'm thirsty.

[nymphette]

1: i hate using hte telephone...

2: i have been on the phone pretty well all morning... this has really put a damper on me playing chain games... :P on top of the time spent catching up form a less than 24 hour absence!!!

3: i've decided to skip town, hide out witha computer and spend the rest of my life doing nothing but chain gaming... i haven't hammered out all the details as to HOW yet, but...

[Dalmaney]

1. The next 4 days are "Spectrum", an engineering fair thingy, so I only have one more class this week.

2. I am volunteering 5 hours for Spectrum, mostly out of guilt.

3. I'm still feeling curiously detatched from my life. Usually a bad sign, that.

[Seusomon]

I got done one of the things I was afraid I wouldn't get done

I'll probably complete another tonight after Anne-Marie is in bed

I had Chinese food for lunch

[Seusomon]

They had a new dish there that was really good - shiitake mushrooms, baby bok choy, water chestnuts, baby corn...

When I cook Chinese at home I never make sauces all goopy like they do at the restaurants

I like crisper flavors and textures

[cindi1023]

1. I like nymphette's idea of hiding out.... I may implement a similar plan, but mine will include the occasional shower! :blink:

2. My husband sent me to work with a banana for a snack today... He's sweet for thinking about me, but he put the banana directly in my purse, and now everything smells like banana!

3. I'd rather him send M&M's! :P



**edited to fix horrible grammatical mistakes!**

[Seusomon]

There's definitely no flood control on FAST REPLY

I could get used to this

I see Cindi is here

[Seusomon]

I like the hiding out idea

I think we all need a hideout

Like a treehouse or something

[Seusomon]

Gilligan might be sloth - he worked a lot, but I don't think it was because he had initiative. I think it was because Skipper made him do stuff

60s comedies were very violent

So were the dramas -

[cindi1023]

*waves* Hi, Seusomon!

1. I really don't have much to say... just wanted to wave back to Seusomon!

2. Another reason the people in my office are jerks is that they're always stealing stuff off my desk.... That's part of the reason why I chew on my pens... they think it's gross, and it ensures that they won't take my pens.

3. Because they often steal things, I printed labels for the major things at our copy table (tape dispenser, stapeler, envelope licking machine, etc.) that say "DO NOT REMOVE UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH". I'm not messing around anymore! :P

[Christine_0701]

how can you say there's no flood control?

your posts are a minute apart

so :P lol

[cindi1023]

1. I've also licked everything on my desk while one of them was looking to deter the theft of any other items!

2. They think I'm weird! :blink:

3. I don't understand why!

[Seusomon]

Like on those original Star Trek shows - here they are on an interstellar space ship, but can only deal with aliens by having weekly fist fights.

I have a meeting in half an hour

Otherwise, it is a slow afternoon

[Seusomon]

I think what happens is that regular reply doesn't let you start a post until 30 seconds have passed, but fast reply doesn't let you actually post it until 30 seconds have passed. So you can start typing 15 seconds after your last post, finish typing 30 seconds later, and get in a lot quicker that way

That's my theory anyway

However it works, it seems to be favoring me over Christine :D

[Seusomon]

I wonder if Cindi also licks bedposts

And if her executions involve any kind of formal process, or if she just spontaneously beheads coworkers

My office is a little more harmonious

[Christine_0701]

"Where it has been enabled, there will be a fast reply button on each topic. Clicking this will open up a posting box on the topic view screen, cutting down on the time required to load the main posting screen."

therefore, it's only faster because it doesn't take as long to load

it's only favouring you because you type slower than me :P i quit using it, because I was getting mad at typing my reply, hitting "add reply" and still getting the flood control message

[thunderstorm_19]

- dad just read my mind

- i was going to offer to make tea, he beat me to it

- i'll be back when i've changed into my painting shirt (i've got a nice red shirt on right now, would CRY if i got paint on it)

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i hate being talked into things

2. going out again (for 6:30)

3. gahh... yucky weather

[nymphette]

1: i think the difference is that when you post- post and not fast reply -post, you cant' even hit reply or it says to wait 30 seconds... if you post on fast reply and enter before 30 seconds, youll get the same thing- the board error- as you do when you try to post before your 30 seconds is up ona regular post button.... as opposed to the fast reply...

2: i am not sure if that makes sense to anyone.... oh well, it makes sense to me...

3: it doesnt' matter to me anyhow becuse i'm not in a posting contest... :P (i've only gotten to post like 5 times all day because i've been busy... what would be the point????) :o

[nymphette]

i just checked.. i typed a word on fast reply and got the board error for flood control

so i typed again and it did it again...

then i tried normal reply and got it becuse it stillhadn't been 30 seconds...

or 20...
whatever it is....

[tanagee]

=I just back from the zoo

=Megan loved the monkeys

=The Gibbons were very vocal

[stargal1998]

1. Nick will be back in a few hours...

2. He told me we're going out to dinner...

3. I want to go take a nice long bath, but I think I will be better served by just finishing up cleaning around the house. Yeah, my room and art table will still be a mess but everything else will be nice...

[nymphette]

1: leeza gibbons is very vocal

2: my cousin megan loves a monkey...

3: i am wiating for modpodge to dry to finish a piece for the zeitgeist exhibit... i am sadly behind...

[stargal1998]

1. I'm not too keen on fast reply.

2. I'm wearing my glasses and I keep bumping into things because it's like I have no depth perception in my spectacles.

3. I'm thinking starting a scarf making business might be kinda cool, just for some cash on the side.

[stargal1998]

1. I want some modge podge.

2. I've never used it.

3. I wonder what nick is bringing me home... I love coming back presents more than any other kind of presents...

[nymphette]

1: i have never gotten a coming back present... :P i wonder if it is as good as make-up sex?? :P

2: i have lost seven pounds since monday.... this is alarming because i haven't been trying to lose weight and i think it is just sped up metabolism hyper stressful crap weight loss... though i guess it doesn't matter either way, 7 pounds is 7 pounds, no matter how ya lose it!!!! hm.

3: mod podge is great therapy;).... but hard to get out from under your fingernails when you muck around with it extensively... up to the elbows...

[nymphette]

1: i break the 'weigh yourself once a week only' rule of dieting.. almost daily.. :P

2: i stuck to my sort of new years resolution for about a week.... though i do admit i have pulled up my socks when it comes to eating healthier.....

3: i almost said pulled up my pants.....

neither makes sense

[nymphette]

1: i just got a phone call for mr. or mrs. rackow.... agian.... they used tohave this same number a couple of years ago.... and never told anyone it's been changed..... her gynecologist has called 3 times, each time i've told her their number has changed and this is MY number now...

2: chris went to school with fred, the mr. rackow.... very strange coincidence...........

3: she, rebecca, has the same ob-gyn as me.... another strange coincidence......

[tanagee]

* I have been "on a diet" since I was 14...yet I weigh 70 pounds more than I did then. Hmm...

* I weighed 10 pounds less AFTER having my baby than I did when I got pregnant.

* Except for my Hubby I have always weighed more than my boyfriends

I think Robyn and I are saying the same thing.

I think it was dumb of me to just eat a bag of doritos and a bag of M&Ns when I wasn't hungry.

I think Robyn's perception of Free Will and Fate is similar to my own.

[nymphette]

1: i am surprised that i didnt' confuse tom with my post about posting on regular post versus fast reply post getting the board error with each type of posting...

2: i am surprised that i didnt' confuse tom with my free will vs fate reply... they must have free will in the united states...

3: it's pretty bad when i laugh at my own posts.... even badder when nobody else is going to... i'm in my own private world here...... ;)

[gwensmom]

1. Ya'll cut out this serial posting or I will have to drop this thread too for lack of time to read it! And it is my favorite.

2. I'm moving things out - 3 pkgs yesterday and 2 more tomorrow. Maybe three if an exchange gets approved in time.

3. I am going to let one of Gwen's babysitters go as soon as I find a replacement for her. I have never fired anyone in my life!

* My Father-in-Law's birthday is December 7th, and was IN Pearl Harbor that day

- my teddy (teddy bear) is not a bear. it's a dog. he's been called a bear, a dog, a rat, and a kangaroo.

- he's very well worn and loved.

- i've had him since i turned 3. in that time mom has made at least 2 outfits for him.

[nymphette]

1: i have a very much loved (30 years old) pink elephant named pinky that my mom's best friend gave me when i was born...

[Christine_0701]

I have soooo much reading to do for next wednesday

I need some feedback on my story (http://www.geocities.com/christine_fun_0701/graduation.html)

I need some feedback on my poem (http://www.geocities.com/christine_fun_0701/glowing.html)

[kittymao]

Proof of Paranoia- I got so freaked out about posting where I was going and then what I was wearing that I changed my outfit and took the Odd route so i could shake stalkers, in case there were some. But I also had the really odd image of running into BlueCrayon at the post office out there - I don't know what she looks like, but She had a blue scarf and cat eye glasses. At least what I imagined.

Uhm. Things are almost well with school. The advisor (which wasn't my usual one, mind you) had me absolutely believing that I'd have to take FIVE classes- for about five minutes I pondered donating my eggs to make tuition. And then she came back and told me all was well. *whew*
Though I do have one class I NEED whose day and time is still up in the air.

And- I also discovered that there are a lot of things I own which I am willing to part with- this includes a decent collection of in-the-box comicbook toys which could go for about $ 5-10 each. Technically that comes to about $60, which isn't enough for my tuition- and then came the egg idea.

Gods, I was desperate.

[nymphette]

1: i swear that there is something seriously worng happening with nervousness!!! (or i am losing my mind entirely....:o) when i came back on here just now, after supper, i swear that there was a topic called 'princess bride' and i clicked on it and it took me to an ATC topic... so i refreshed and then went back to the main page and it was gone.. so i spent ten minutes or so searching all the topics close to where i saw (thought i saw) the princess bride posted and sstill nothing.... so i gave up

2: also earlier i went to update my lmao and it wsn't there!!!!! i thought gosh, there must have been a lot of lmao's put on after to scroll it off the page... so i went down down down... and into familiar teritory of lmao's i had seen posted days earlier... and still it was not there!!! so i shut down my browser and opened a new window and tried agin... and gone... so i thought, oh, i am having an insanity moment and i really DIDN'T post an lmao today i just thought i did... but right there in the comments column was a comment, under alter an altoids tin lmao.... so i clicked on it and it was there... but still not on the list!!!!

3: it's there now... i feel reality slipping loosely through my grasp....... :ph34r:

[Bugitha]

1. As much as I love it, I may have to give up on keeping up with this thread. :( I only have about an hour a day to spend on-line and too much of it is reading random facts.

2. My boss has the best meetings. She always has them at noon and buys us all a yummy lunch.

3. In two weeks, my boss will no longer be my boss. I will be unemployed. Again. :(

[jonnynobody]

> I have a stuffed animal. From when I was little, it was from my dad, and it's the only thing I have that he gave me before my parents divorced.

> It's a elephant. Because I always loved elephants for some reason.

> His name is Erwin, because it's German, meaning "friend".

[Christine_0701]

I have LOTS of stuffed animals

One of my faves is a biggish brown teddy, named Cheerio

Another is a blue Russel-type teddy, whose name is Zeddy. I got him from Debbie (the other person in my profile pic ;))

[nymphette]

1: i had an hour or so of catching up to do today.... i wasn't on all day yesterday except for a couple of posts and missed oodles!!!!!!!

2: i got modpodge in my hari this afternoon and didn't notice... :o good thing i didnt' go out anywhere.>!!!

3: i am craving curry noodles.......

[Dalmaney]

1. I have started two job application packages for this summer.

2. Jordan and I are still going to try to get jobs in Pinawa together.

3. I should do my Gender Studies readings. I don't like them. They're far too propaganda-ish.

[kflorathorne]

This is such a collection of random oddness that I might as well spill myself over:

1.) I secretly admired by current significant other from afar for an entire year and had no intentions of revealing myself when we met by complete coincedence on a website that I was about to delete off my favorite's list. I used to smell his hair, and follow him compulsively without ever knowing he was doing the exact same thing to me. To this day we debate over who would have worked up the courage to slip an anonymous confession into who's locker.

2.) Certain smells can make me forget where I am and completely disorientate me.

3.) I collect scraps of wax from used candles and melt them down into larger hunks of wax and store them in glass mason jars but never turn them into candles as I lack the drive to go to a craft store and purchase more wick.

I haven't even told this stuff to my therapist. Huh. Thanx for the oppurtunity.

~Krystal

I need to go to bed

[Christine_0701]

1. I hate editing my stories

2. I hate trying to justify why my story is the way it is

3. If i hate this, why the hell am I majoring in creative writing?

[thunderstorm_19]

1. venturing outdoors tonight was COMPLETE MADNESS.

2. anyone who has never experienced a Canadian winter should get their butt up here.

3. it's less frigidly cold than it has been the last couple days (which doesn't mean to say it's not still frigid).

[thunderstorm_19]

1. it snowed ALL DAY, and it is still snowing.

2. the driveway has been done 3 times.

3. I don't suck at pool as much as i thought. I won one game, we tied to other.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. guinness is good.

2. when dad picked me up, he stopped on the road (there are parking spots along the side but they were all full), so i had to step off the curb into the snow accumulated between 2 parked cars, and promtly lost my footing, and went from being shin-deep in snow, to being *in the snow* (yah, i fell forward into the snow).

3. anyone with a brain would have put dry pants on by now.

[Dalmaney]

1. Tomorrow the weather man has promised me a day around freezing temperature. This is super warm and will make me happy, yet muddy.

2. I have to dress "business casual" to go to school tomorrow.

3. Tomorrow I am going to a banquet for Spectrum, and I get to hear one of the founders of Engineers Without Borders speak there, and I personally know the MC, so I can try to schmooze people if I'm ambitious enough.

[kmfdmchick]

i just finished my period :)

im constantly lookin to see art journals online

i love industrial music..but i dont know anyone else who does. :(

[bluecrayon]

My server crashed and was down for about 5 hours today and I felt estranged from the world

I have soooo much reading to do for next wednesday

I need some feedback on my story (http://www.geocities.com/christine_fun_0701/graduation.html)

I need some feedback on my poem (http://www.geocities.com/christine_fun_0701/glowing.html)
1. I like the story a lot. I started to note some potential improvements, then got to the end and realized they weren't pertinent. You do the dialog perfectly, and that is what the story needs to work. There's a tension between the superficiality of the conversation and the supposed profundity of the event, which all comes together in the end. And because it is short, it holds interest easily - even for a 42-year-old guy with very different things on his mind. This is an A.

2. The poem needs a different approach to work for me. When I get to the final line, I don't really believe it, because I haven't seen this part of the viewpoint character yet - only her annoyance and disconnect. The lines, individually, are right on - important things, said clearly and with words that have motion. I might break it into stanzas and end each one with a line that foreshadows the final line. B-.

General - when I was young, I loved the "twist" at the end of a story or poem. I was wowed when I read them, and wowed at myself when I wrote them. (And, gosh, I still lapse into that a lot.) But even in a very short piece, a strong ending works better if there is a strong thought-provoker or two in the middle. Not only does it keep the reader excited and engaged on first reading, but it means the piece will be remembered for more than one thing.

A good pattern for profundity in a short piece (0 being least profound, 10 most) is

2 - 7 - 5 - 10.

3. I'm not a competent professional. Get another opinion. :lol:

[Seusomon]

1. I'm worried that when I go to quote someone's post, I'll accidentally hit REPORT, and they'll be banned from Nervousness in disgrace.

2. I'm worried than when I go to edit my own post, I'll accidentally hit REPORT, and I'll be banned from Nervousness in disgrace.

3. The original Apple computer had the RESET button right next to the RETURN key. Bad idea.

[Seusomon]

1. I finished editing my page proofs, and sent comments to my coauthor.

2. I think that means I've finished two of the things I thought I might not finish this week.

3. Someone who means a lot to me is upset with me, and I'm not sure why yet.

[Seusomon]

1. Christine is a really good writer.

2. I feel weird and ambivalent about drilling my kid on her multiplication table. She's doing problem-solving (and doing it darn well), but the job is about rote memorization. I know that mindless memorization will allow her to solve bigger problems a couple years from now, but it hurts to see her camouflage her inner calculations to conform with the expectation of automatic knowledge.

3. I remember my dad drilling me on my multiplication table.

[iamlina]

1. i'm working on a book about growing up
2. i'm addicted to this site
3. i like strawberry ice cream mixed in with twix on an cookies and cream cone from Maggie Moo's

[iamlina]

1. i need a cigarette
2. i have to find one of each biblical, mythology, and random painting and write a poem about them by tomarrow for my AP lit. class
3. i still haven't done them

[Seusomon]

1. I'm not using FAST REPLY tonight.

2. It wouldn't make any difference.

3. I'm feeling contemplative.

1. Boticelli's Birth of Venus. I've done the hard part. Now pontificate!

2. It may snow tomorrow.

3. My weekend starts this Friday, and doesn't end until Wednesday.

[Seusomon]

1. Oh, one of each. Yikes. I've given mythological. Biblical would be Michelangelo's God & Adam, random would be "American Gothic".

2. It's almost midnight.

3. I need to wake up before 7:00 tomorrow.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. so all in all i'd guesstimate we got about 2 feet/60cms/24" of snow yesterday.

2. i hate the word guesstimate.

3. i'm gonna take a picture of the pile of snow that accumulated on top of the patio table.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. dad went out at 8 this morning, may be back briefly at lunch timeish, but will otherwise be out all day.

2. i was hearing that Canada could end up with an electricity supply shortage within two years. (by 2006)

3. as a result, the proverbial "they" are recommending we in Ontario keep our coal fired generating stations open longer than 2007 (the 5 Ontario plants are all slated to be closed by 2007 currently). They don't think the stations should be closed until other forms of power can be found/harnessed to compensate for the amount of power 'lost' by closing these plants.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. digital cameras are apparently now outselling 35mm film cameras in the US.

2. I like my dad's (my) 35mm SLR Olympus camera. It's slightly older than I am.

3. clover (female cat) is yowling and scratching the stairs. She's hyper.

[stargal1998]

1. Nick and I kinda had a fight last night.

2. I like it when he's gone because I have so much time to myself.

3. I am not yet good at just switching to people mode when all I've been around is animals.

[stargal1998]

1. I put all my pants in the dirty clothes/washing machine and dryer last night. So when I tried to grab some jeans this morning, I realized they were wet.

2. Wet jeans didn't phase me. I simply tried using a hair dryer to dry them.

3. Luckily, I didn't freeze from getting out of the truck to the door of work. I drove because I didn't want to get pneumonia.

[stargal1998]

1. So, fast reply can be kind of cool.

2. I am going to stop posting for the time being, as I don't think anyone else is on this board/topic at this time.

3. I think I'm finally going to watch League of X. Gentlemen tonight.

[sarahkate]

1. I have a meeting to go to in about 2 minutes.

2. I am sure it will be pointless and boring and last about 5 minutes.

3. That's how our monthly meeting usually go.

<_<

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. I have cataloged 6 books today, and I am working on the seventh, which is called My Lesbian Husband.

2. My big boss brought chocolates back from her trip to San Diego and I put 5 of them in my desk because I am greedy and love chocolate.

3. Chris's Aunt Sherry forgot to give me two of my Christmas presents, so I just got them on Tuesday. They were both boxes of chocolates. I am glad people know what I like. (In fact, the gifts she gave me on Christmas were also boxes of chocolates.)

[littlest-bee]

1. I organised all my art supplies last night - everything is neatly boxed and stacked! Its looks super!

2. I can't wait until I get my own place so that I can have a proper storage area for all the above supplies. Oohh! Shelving!

3. I have been allowed to use the franking machine at work today - I love it because I can pretend that I work in a post office.

** Bonus fact: when I was little I got a toy Post Office for Christmas one year. I loved it **

[sarahkate]

1. The meeting was longer than I though. 30 minutes!

2. It was just as pointless and boring as I suspected.

3. G-w-l-s comments about chocolate made me want some. Hmm...I might have to take a trip to the vending machine in the very near future ;)

hehe how about we just quit sending our electricity to the states?

i think that might save the problem alot better

Hudson's Hope BC makes almost all the electricity used by BC...some of it sent to the US, and some to other parts of canada

1: we export electricity?? hm... how do we charge for it???

2: i have a hundred things to do today to get ready for mr. harrison's big first birthday bash on sunday... things that can't be done tomorrow because this is chris' saturday to work.....

3: i told chris i would take julian in with me tonight if he gets home before 6:45.. (he's off at 6 and it's a 20 minute drive... for some reason, he can't make it in under an hour) i'll be going in alone, 100% guaranteed...

[freckledcutie]

1. I wish I knew all the unspoken rules of NNess

2. I emailed someone that I was disappointed and frustrated last night because they weren't keeping up with their end of a project

3. I'm worried that someone here will hate me forever for being honest

Bonus
4. I've never seen them in quizzes and questions, so I'm not posting this as a cryptic message to them

[nymphette]

1: i just went to the objects page and my LMAO is gone again!!!!

2: i wonder why it keeps appearing and disappearing!!!???!!??

3: maybe i should have a nap....

[freckledcutie]

1. Kendra's birthday turned out good after all

2. We celebrated Sunday but we wouldn't let her blow out candles because she was sick...awww...this made her cry...she's 15

3. I bought one of those 3 dollar cakes for 2 people at Walmart and lit it while she was in the shower last night...she was so happy to be blowing out candles

bonus.
4. I also bought her 3 cheapo presents from Walmart and I made her a domino necklace so she would have something to open on her birtday

[Dalmaney]

nymphette: is your object full? it was there last night, and it was almost full.

1. I stayed up far too late last night chatting on MSN.
2. I am cleaning out my MP3 collection a bit because it is absurdly large and corrupted by other people using my computer.
3. I don't want to go to school or do my work or leave the house. I want to curl up with my coffee and my fiction book and just hide under the covers all day.

[cindi1023]

1. I don't see Nymphette's LMAO in the objects list, either -- but perhaps that's because 30 people signed up & it's full! :D

2. I've got a bizzillion things I need to get done at work today....

3. #2 is going to cut into my chain-game time! :P

[Serenity]

1) I'm in the libaray waiting for Melissa (my cousin) to finish whatever so we can go to the food court.

2) My brother is here too, trying to see if he can work a flash key (usb port memory card or something!)

3) I have some volunteer work to do today!

Hugs,
Danielle

[nymphette]

1: i went to the LMAO from my 'your page' page... and it IS full!!! wow... 30 people.... but lemur hasn't signed on yet and i think rottifan must be a pre member too??? my head has just developed a terrible headache!!! just <bang> like that!!!

2: going to take a handful of tylenol, hope it helps... really strange to come on that fast!!!

3: if it gets better i will be coming back... and maybe i should find my glasses... time for another appt i guess.... they haven't really been helping but i guess it's better than just NOT wearing them...

4: <bonus of a sort> i will open it for more if anyone else wants on....

[gwensmom]

Something totally unexpected and awesome happened to me last night.

I dont' feel like <_< :angry: :ph34r: any more

3. There is a poem brewing in my head.

[gwensmom]

1. Today is my 10th wedding anniversary

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i just remembered it's thursday

2. thursday is bathroom cleaning day

3. sodding cats. one just gave the other the bum's rush. i'll end up putting them both out for a pee break soon.

[Seusomon]

1. It's snowing

2. Freckledcutie, I think everyone has a different list of "unwritten rules" for Nervousness - that's what makes it quirky.

3. I enjoyed the naked-at-the-party story. :P

[chunkymonkey]

1. one hour photo should mean one hour photo!

2. recently watched "one hour photo" and was very creeped out.

3. I have a first line and a last line:
F- the gentle hunger of morning
L- I promise the ache of forever trust

working out the rest :)

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-3- As I have mentioned before: I hate exercising.

[Seusomon]

1. I'm feeling mellow.

2. I've been reminiscing about how life has changed in the past 5 years.

3. I'm drinking coffee from Brazil.

[cindi1023]

1. There is one pump at the gas station closest to my house that will not accept my Check Card. They can offer no explanation as to why.

2. I just realized I forgot my lunch... guess I gotta go out and pick up something very bad for me!

3. Hubs just called and told me that I've been locked out of the house.... he couldn't get the garage door to go down this morning, so he manually closed it and locked it. I don't have a key to that lock, nor do I have a key (with me) to any of the other exterior doors.... luckily I think my neighbor has a key...

[Seusomon]

1. At work, we get these statements showing our long-distance phone usage. We have to sign off that they were all legitimate business calls. My most recent statement lists a total of 3 cents worth of long distance. The cost of sending this form around, including the time of everyone involved in the process, is probably at least $50.

2. I'm thinking about leaving the UU church.

3. My Altoid Trio Tin has attracted the attention of a coworker.

alison was complaining about her weather- 1. it is MINUS 16 DEGREES CELCIUS in my back yard

i am REPORTING her... that's not cold.. come to saskatchewan.. :P

i am glad gwensmom went from <_< :angry: :ph34r: to :o :P :lol:

i am still undecided about the velvet vulvas...

[thunderstorm_19]

1. ok, so this list of environmental websites i'm compiling for myself is taking shape... but it's also taking a long time...

2. the only mail i got today was a bank statement

3. i was just going to write "i hate fridays with no good mail" but it's not friday

bonus - i keep going to type "frienday" instead of friday

[nymphette]

1: it's not friday??????????? crap

2: i based my entire day today so far, and my plans for tonight and tomorrow, on the (incorrect i guess) fact that is was friday today!!!

3: i hate it when i have to relive a day... thursday already sucked this week, i didn't want it again!!!!

4: <bonus> this thursday, the real thursday, today's thursday, has been much better... except for the headache... i've got my geeky glasses on though so that should help... :)

[stargal1998]

1. 2 boxes of Girl Scout cookies are on my desk.

2. I ate a few thin mints, the samoas are to remain untouched until I start working out again.

3. I just realized that Girl Scouts do not, most likely, make these cookies...

oh sure they do... it's an assembly line of 10 year olds... hehe...

- me want tea

- cold.

- will go off comp and paint for a bit.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i just needed to check that it was in fact thursday

2 it is

3 i knew it was - saw matt tuesday night, matt had class last night (as always on wednesdays), thereby making it thursday today

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i hate it when people whose first language is english don't pronounce the "H" at the beginning of words like Human

2 it doesn't bother me when someone with an accent/for whom english is not a first language does it

3 the tea is begging to be made

1. Samoas are my FAVORITE type of G.S. Cookies, followed by the peanut butter patties. Yum!

2. Samoa's ice cream (http://www.edys.com/brand/Grand/flavor.asp?b=134&f=1644) made by Edy's is THE BEST. I highly recommend it. If you don't like it.... you're a loon! :P

3. According to this site (http://www.girlscoutcookiesabc.com/atc/index.htm), Samoas are called "Caramel Delites." I think Samoas sound much more appetizing.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- For Stargal: "The national Girl Scout organization, Girl Scouts of the USA, approves and licenses the bakers of Girl Scout cookies®. At the bakeries, the cookies are produced by American labor union members from American-grown agricultural products and wrapped in American-made packaging materials.
The approved bakers work directly with local Girl Scout councils. Each one of our 315 councils selects which baker it will work with and sets the price per box in its area."

-2- Samoas: mmmmmmmm. Those are excellent cookies.

-3- I hated selling cookies, and it's really the only thing that prevents me from volunteering to be a Girl Scout leader. The rest of it would be fun, but those cookies sales would really irritate me.

And it's so weird, because I was actually thinking, just now, "I wish there was ice cream with chunks of GS cookies in it. That would be excellent." Hurrah!

Hey! Those peanut butter ones were called Tagalongs. What happened? And the shortbread were Trefoils.

[gwensmom]

1. I went to the bank because there was a charge to my debit card I could not identify. It read "13 Memphis TN". It was the POST OFFICE at 13. S. Prescott :lol:

2. After that I went to said post office and bought some totally cute candy heart stamps. There are two candy hearts, one yellow and one pink that say " I *heart* you" on a lighter yellow background.

3. I got a really cool handmade postcard from Pandagirl today.

[nymphette]

1: julian just threw up....

2: he is c/o a headache but wanted just to go to bed instead of having a tylenol (he doesn't get THAT from me, that's for sure... <afterpopping6xstrengthtylenolsforownheadacheearlier>

3: he has a fever of 99.1...

so now of course i am panicking and running around with my purell gel and rubbing everything he touched today down.... and hoping that harrison isn't already infected with whatever julian has... his headache must have come down as quick as mine... he was fine ten minutes before he threw up...

i hope *I* don't throw up... :(

[stargal1998]

1. They have the thin mint and other brands of ice cream.

2. I was a girl scout, and then I quit for some reason...oh yeah, we MOVED 3,000 miles away! (can you tell I am still a little angry about that? :P )

3. I hope Robyn's son gets better, and that Harrison doesn't get sick... And that all three men in her house decide to let her have infinite amounts of computer and art time... ;-)

[kittymao]

sometimes it scares people when I tell them that I was a girl scout. I can read a compass, tie a knot and sharpen a knife.

It scares people more that I went to Baptist Church Camp for Five years of my life, during the summer. From 4th to 8th grade- became disillusioned with them when I realized they weren't going to sponsor me for the AIDS walk because "Gay People Have AIDS."

The last time I consider myself anythign was probably Methodist, though Very much sliding toward the Catholic aspect.

[nymphette]

1: i am done my altered tin.. but i need to fill and get postage before i can send it out!!! :o


2: i am this close | | to being done my 'year of the monkey' piece for the zeitgesit show....

3: i am done my n.e.raok package for cindi and pif for greyraven... and a few sneaky sneaky's i have to send out... ;)

[nymphette]

1: i want to get a harrison bear made.... http://www.charitybear.com/

2: i have 'link' and a pink 'sky' bear, in memory of an angel baby...

3: i want 'hope' (the cancer research version) because she's so pretty, not that i have a person to buy her in honor of.... well, my neice and nephew's grandmother had breast cancer, and so far she's beat it... that counts!!!!

[freckledcutie]

I want some Samoas?

The girl that always sold to me in now in high school

Wahhhh...that really makes me sad, but I guess I have to hit the GS table outside of Walmart

[nymphette]

1: harrison is amused by me when i put socks on his hands when he goes to bed (becauase he still scratches, by habit, even though his eczema is cleared up...) i throw them in the air and yell 'hucky tucky - sock!!!' and then fly them down to his hands... he kills himself giggling...

2: he is also amused by me when i fake sneeze at him... if he's fussing and whiny all i have to do is fake a good sneeze and he starts to laugh...

3: for some reason, he is NOT amused by chris doing this... he tries (because i always say 'do this, it works for me'...) and does exactly what i do but harrison is NOT amused by it... just the opposite in fact.... i aske dhim if he felt like cary elwes's character in 'liar liar' when he does 'the claw' to the little boy.... he just about peed himself laughing because he says that's EXACTLY how he feels!!! :P

In canada, the cookies are made by Mr. Christie

You know, the Chips Ahoy Company?

Yeah, they're very good. I'm going to buy some this year.

[Seusomon]

1. I believe I would be much more amused by watching Robyn fake a sneeze than by watching Chris fake a sneeze.

2. I believe Girl Scout cookies are made in an isolated Canadian village by a small group of nocturnal hominids that have survived essentially unchanged since the last Ice Age.

3. I'm ready for my weekend to begin.

[Dalmaney]

1. I have never purchased Girl Scout cookies.
2. This is only because no one's ever tried to sell them to me. I have a great burden of guilt carried forward from high school and junior high and elementary where I sold so many freaking raffle tickets and such to people, that now I feel like I owe the world a few bucks for field trips when people ask me.
3. This has been the weirdest week ever.

[Christine_0701]

I have 1.5 hours of class left till my weekend

Tomorrow I get to go grocery shopping

I'll also buy a needle, so I can work on my hat....and maybe a CD too.

[tanagee]

I used to kick butt selling GS cookies. My dad was a construction forman so all the guys from all the differnt crews would buy them, my mom worked for a pediatritan so not only did the Dr buy some but all the moms of kids who did not have little GS's of their own. AND a lady on my block ran an in home day care so she would buy CASES of them from me.

Samoa's rock!!

Thin Mints are awesome frozen (as are most things consisting of chocolate!)

[Dalmaney]

1. I need to buy some respectable black shoes or boots.
2. I need to buy a respectable work shirt of some kind.
3. I need to turn into someone respectable some day.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am bored.
2. That's probably something only I can deal with.
3. I am tired of the dark. It's always dark.

[Cuilanië]

- I have finally won tonight's pitched battle with my internet connection. Unfortunately, it took me until past 2 am. :(

- I had to go back to the chiro's office tonight. Something that had been resisting treatment gave way yesterday, and the residual pain was high. All gone now, mostly.

- I picked up two packages at the post office tonight. :D :D :D

[Cuilanië]

- Everything I see... Looks like a Tootsie Roll to me! :lol: Well, except for one thing that was in the other package. :)

- ALTOIDS!!! <rubs hands>

- When I opened the package, the scent of mint was overwhelming... :D

THANK YOU SARAH!!!!!!

[Cuilanië]

The contents of the other package made my hands tremble

I am completely bowled over

I'm in love

[freckledcutie]

1. Yeah, Sarah, that was so cool!

2. I'm finally getting organized!

3. I sent 4 things out today that I decided to send on a whim last night and it's unlike me to get things done that fast...plus, I finished something else major that was on my to do list...yay!

[Christine_0701]

1. I just got in touch with a friend I haven't talked to in months!!

2. Mel and Kevin might not be getting married :S

3. I'm thinking of saving up all my money this summer, as much as possible, in hopes of having an extra trip home next school year.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I've been playing a lot of old nintendo and super nintendo games

2. I've eaten too much easy cheese

3. my head is full of garbled weirdness :blink:

[kittymao]

geez, trying to find an apartment for less than a thousand dollars a month in california is REALLY hard.

I made tater tots and instead of salt I used garlic and herb seasoning. just as good and no Oversalting!

This weekend I'm supposed to go to a motorcycle show. Rock! I'm so excited.

[medeous]

1. i just wrested a Twix from the jaws of my ferocious doxie-wawa

2. my daughter coined the term "doxie-wawa"

3. so far, i've been 100% succesful in my new year's resolutions to get the trash out for every trash day instead of just dumping a mountain out there once a month and i have not had any soda since 2003...yay me!

[bluecrayon]

I missed jonnynobody again...

I am here and Suesomon is not....

but I do see Hammerquill lurking... all is not lost! :)

[kittymao]

I'm very wiggly cause this place is moving so fast. I'm not used to it in the least- I should come on line at this time more often.

I finally participated in the Film and Actor Chain Game. Thanks to Christian Slater and Cowboys. Yeehaw.

Uhm. I don't have a third fact, I'm just on a posting frenzy.

[bluecrayon]

I have a crazy long distance relationship which pummels me all over the place

but tonight I am feeling pretty happy about it...

I wish I could paint all this chaos into something....

[medeous]

1. i have noticed that blue seems to be stalking johnny
2. somebody at work is still talking about me and i'm gonna sock her in her smart mouth if she doesn't stop
3. everyone has baggage and everyone has had a completely craptacular childhood and that gives no one the right to be shitty to or about me

1. I haven't stuck to any of my resolutions. This is why I usually don't make them...

2. I'm fiending for my jammies

3. I want to start a 'two random facts' thread for those of us who can never think of a third fact....of course then I prolly wouldn't be able to think of a second random fact...then I could start a 'one random fact' thread. But then I prolly wouldn't be able to think of a single fact and prolly would never post there at all...

[Christine_0701]

my back keeps cracking little cracks

it doesn't make it feel any better

but it doesn't make it feel any worse ;)

[kittymao]

Oo- It's a student's dream, a teacher getting into a fist fight! I feel bad for ya, medeous. I'd smack her for you. I really would.

Cause, you know. People need to get over that crap. Dwelling on it doesn't make it go away. Gah.

Uh. My mother is going out to get dinner, and it will be a SURPRISE!
i worry it may be crappy. I'm hoping for Wendy's.

[medeous]

1. my parents, their cat and my nephew are coming to visit this weekend

2. this means my dad will either take apart the toilet, the dishwasher, a ceiling fan or the doorbell for some dad-only-apparent reason

3. i sure hope it's not the toilet again, cause i only have one and the last time he did that it took hours we had to make a trip to the grocery store so everyone could go potty

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I put my jammies on :rolleyes:

2. Now I feel all snuggly

3. there's a snuggly cat on my lap....he's pretending not to have bones so he doesn't get tossed onto the floor...

[medeous]

1. i broke my left thumb nail back beyond the quick today while trying to make a sharp left turn and eat ice cream at the same time

2. i did not let it deter me from my ice cream eating

3. it wasn't really ice cream, it was chocolate frozen custard with raspberries from Whistle Stop

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. there's a half packed suitcase in the middle of the livingroom floor

2. I wish I knew if I need to finish packing or if I need to unpack...

3. I really hate the way ketchup smells :unsure:

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

1 I wish I was a source of hope and good for people

2 I wish people would join my exchange so I make my best friend happy

3 I'm just as socially inept online as I am in person

[medeous]

1. i like wonky walking shoe's avatar and wonder who those people are

2. when i tried to say "wonky walking shoe" just now, it came out as "willy wonka shoes"

3. i *heart* johnny depp, but just in theory

[Ishba]

1) My school has had 3 two hour delays in the past two weeks (one last monday, one this monday, one today) because it's been too cold/the roads have been too bad

2) School is cancelled for tomorrow because it's supposed to be negative 13 degrees in the morning

3) Monday is MLK day... meaning 4 day weekend

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I like wonkywalkingshoe's avatar too...she looks familiar...it's comforting...

2. I wish I had cool glasses. My glasses were pretty cool before they broke.

3. I haven't worn my glasses in almost four years....my eyes are getting a little worse now. I sometimes forget that I ever had glasses.

[Bugitha]

1. I have been watching the "reality" show, The Apprentice and am positive I would be terrible at big business. My mind doesn't move that way.

2. A former coworker once seriously suggested looking for a husband among the local prisoner population, because, after all, it worked for her daughter. :o

3. Urban sprawl is becoming a problem around here, and yet the announcement of a new Pottery Barn and an In and Out Burger was met with great fanfare. :angry:

[Cuilanië]

- I'm getting the flood control message

- I have to go eat some breakfast

- I have to get dressed for work...

[medeous]

1. i am overcome by the need to alter altoids tins

2. i have never altered an altoids tin

3. i would like people who have successfully altered altoids tins to tell me everything they know/recommend about doing so. seriously. so if this is you, please email me with copies of your brain. thank you. neptune@anet-stl.com

1. assuming insipid is speaking in degrees F... that's -25 Celcius...

2. yesterday was -19 C here, or -2 F.

3. with the windchill it was -31 C, or -24 F.

**bonus** - 40 is one of the points on the scales where Celcius and Farenheit meet... IOW -40 C is the same as -40 F.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I, too, am among the legion fans of WonkyWalkingShoe's avatar. Reminds me of my friend Jon Ross and me, and how we got the nickname "The Warhols" because we looked like art school students.

-2- I would join WWS's exchange for her best friend, and Nymphette's altered tin LMAO, but I banned myself for signing up for new things because I am so far behind. (Sorry Robyn and Holly.)

-3- I hate my horoscope for today: The Archer has a problem. Your aim might be true, but your arrows fly in slow motion. Unless you're practicing Zen or pursuing the sport's pure aesthetics, it will be hard to hit a moving target. And the things of your world are in motion. In addition, your internal landscape is enormous, distorting your perception of what's real. Even the most expressive people can't articulate what's going on in their imagination. But you don't have to justify yourself to anyone. You're happy to wander in your dream world, navigating by logic that makes perfect sense to you. I do like the last two sentences, though, because they remind me of BlueCrayon.

[Dalmaney]

1. I wish I lived in a place where -25*C was reason to cancel school. It always had to be at least -40* before the bus would consider not running. Usually it did anyways.

2. At -25*C, they're still kicking elementary school kids outside for at least half an hour of lunch.

3. It's only -14*C (high of -8) here today, but I still would rather skip out on my commitments and sleep another few hours. I won't, but I would rather.

[bluecrayon]

I wish we had inclement weather here so sometimes I didn't have to go in to teach!! but we never do... alas.

Friday I'm in love (which is just me saying I like Friday!)

I don't know what to wear today -- I'm going over to that goofy thread to get some ideas! :D

[Dalmaney]

1. I talked to the Boy on the phone for an hour last night, and not about "us" but about stuff instead.

2. I talked to the Boy for an hour on MSN on Tuesday.

3. So far, not being together and being together look exactly the same. I'm a bit confused about that, but I'm happy, so I choose not to point it out to him.

[bluecrayon]

It seems Dalmaney and I have something in common now...

The long distance dance can lead a heart all over the map...

It only gets hard when I open my eyes and he's not here...

[freckledcutie]

1. I always wish I could post outfits like bluecrayone does in the "I'm wearing" thread

2. I used to dress so cool (well, to me)

3. Now that I've gained weight I dress blah

1. oh gawd i sympathize

2. so silly boy here who this time last week was like "we haven't really given us a fair chance have we?" (no not yet), was yesterday saying "do you want to go back to being 'just friends' instead of being where we are now", (not not really)

3. gahhhh men. (*sings Pink song "you make me sick" to self*)
