Three random facts:

[thunderstorm_19]

1. of course, i would rather be his friend than nothing (we're really close, i would never want to lose that)

2. i really should go get dressed (am in jammies)

3. yah, ok i'll go do that... and then come back... :)

[freckledcutie]

I accomplished 2 more things on my 'to do' list last night

I have to mail a package to Croatia tomorrow

Well, mailing the package is on my 'to do' list

[freckledcutie]

1. I am not currently in a 'relationship'

2. I am not currently 'in love'

3. I'm not seeking nor opposed to either

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I am very much in love.

-2- Chris was being super-extra-sweet last night.

-3- I was sad to leave him this morning, because I won't see him again until Monday evening.

[freckledcutie]

1. I think I just made someone really mad but I don't care

2. This one teacher send kids late to my math class about 3 times a week...not just a few minutes late, but 20 or 25 minutes late

3. He just sent and assistant down to ask me if it was okay if he sent his kids late and I said no and that he needed to learn to manage his time better

[freckledcutie]

1. that was a really crappy thing for me to say

2. He's been teaching so much longer than me...he could retire

3. He used to be a principal

[thunderstorm_19]

1. cutie, if the TEACHER can't manage his time, that's not your fault, and you're perfectly justified in telling him to make sure the kids get to your class on time. If the teacher can't manage his time, how can he expect the kids to learn to manage their time?

2. food's looking really good right now.

3. i have to fold laundry, clean bathrooms (didn't do it yesterday), and make the potato part of the shepherd's pie for dinner...

[freckledcutie]

1. They came 25 minutes late anyway

2. I have flames coming out of my head

3. I feel so insignificant

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i think you should complain about that other teacher to the principle

2. i just ate a piece of leftover lasagne (it's 11am) and a fig

3. i once met mike bullard, when I worked at Black's Photography, but only realised it was him (KNEW i knew the face from somewhere) after he was gone

[timeittook]

1.i know how to write legibly with both my right and left hands.
2.i am addicted to those little runt fruit candies,
3.i strive to become fluent in a bunch of languages but don't do it because i know i'll forget them quickly.

[cindi1023]

1. Maybe we should put Medeous and freckledcutie's coworkers in a cage and let them battle it out.

2. Maybe throw a couple of my coworkers in for good measure....

3. I'm tired of being grumpy, but I can't seem to shake it.... :unsure:



**edited for clairty**

[stargal1998]

1. I almost chocked on runts candies once.

2. By the time I was 8, I had almost drowned 4 times. But I still love the water.

3. My eyes are burning.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I've never eaten a fig that wasn't in Newton form

2. I'm not a big fan of Fig Newtons

3. My hubs has a job interview today!!! It's a good job... working with computers. He'll be happy if he gets it...he's obsessed with 'puters.

1. Yes, a cage around a mud pit!

2. I recovered a ton of used 34-cent used postage while cleaning out some old files at work.

3. Yay- a three day weekend is coming up and Gwensdad is off too! He can take Gwen for half of Monday and I really will get some free time!

[Christine_0701]

1. In Fort St John, they never close the schools....i've gone to school when it was -42ºC without the windchill!

2. The schools never close because some parents drive their kids to school, and their vehicles will run anyways

3. I was at school on a day like that...there was maybe a total of 30 kids in school. So the teachers let us play Mission Impossible :D

[freckledcutie]

1. I am a very honest person

2. I recently recovered a stamp from an envelope because it had been overlooked and not cancelled when it was mailed

3. I put it on something to mail and then I went to the post office and told them I got it off of an already mailed letter but since they didn't cancel it I decided to use it....silly me...she was very nice about it but she didn't let me use it :lol:

[nymphette]

1: i wonder what the americans think about us windchill obsessed canadians!!!!

2: i remember walking to school when i was in grade ten or so and it was minus 75 with windchill... meaning exposed skin will freeze in seconds...

3: they NEVER closed rouleau school because of weather... i guess they though sinc eyou're only walking a mile from across town (there were farm kids who got bussed, because they were farm kids, who lived closer to school than me!!!!!) it doesn't matter if it is zero visibility in a blizzard and sixty below!!!!!

yes, i am bitter... kids these days- my niece and nephew complained to me the other day 'they made us go out for recess and it was almost snowing!!!!!!' boohoo... i gave them the you think that's bad?? when i was young, we lived in a cardboard box... a box?? you were lucky... :P

[cindi1023]

1. In Georgia, if there's ice on any of the back roads and there's a question that a school bus might not get through, they'll close all the schools in that county...

2. But it rarely gets that cold here...

3. I wish we'd get some snow here.... It's been about 10 years since we had a really good snow!

[freckledcutie]

1. I want snow, too

2. I want it to be good snow, though and not that bone chilling can't be outside in it kind of snow

3. A day off of school would be nice, too

[Sirius]

1. Sometimes you wake up and realize, it is no longer my birthday. All that good cheer, do whatever you want, everyone smiling at you with big idiotic grins, people humming happy birthday, gifts and cards and cakes. It's over already.

2. Birthdays should last atleast a week. That would be Birthweek celebrations. I think I can talk Hallmark into it, anyone else on board?

3. I think it is odd that when I was younger, I didn't want anyone to know it was my birthday, and was excited when at first they started giving us MLK day off on MLK's actual birthday (1/15) instead of observing on a Monday, because that meant I didn't have to go to school on my birthday and be subjected to everyone telling my happy birthday. I think all that goes back to the fact that I used to be "painfully shy." I gave that up junior year of high school. Oh, going back to the "I think it is odd" I find it odd because it is usually as people get older that they shy away from their birthdays, and I have found the reverse.

[Sirius]

1. It is amusing that one of my most dominating birthday memories is from my 23rd birthday. They had a party for me at work that day as well. I remember the cake having those number candles of a 2 and a 3...and someone saying I really wish those were the numbers on my cake. And then Fran said, "Hell, I'd be happy to have the reverse on mine!" Fran always made me laugh.

2. I also remember that my mom always forgot to take pictures of the cake until it was cut...so we have pictures of the cakes with pieces missing.

3. Mmmm..cake...there's still a couple of slices of ice cream cake in the freezer.

[nymphette]

1: i have two birthday cakes to make tomorrow... i am stocked up on cake mixes (becuse i can't make a decent fluffy moist cake from scratch... so i use a mix and pretty well always have... ssshhh.. my sister does NOT need to know that... she thinks i am martha stewart....), icing sugar, food dye, white chocolate (fat free!!! it's delicious!!!) pudding and a whole lotta nothing else, like what KIND of cake to make.....

2: one is for a 1 year old, the other a 51 year old... i am having a surprise party for my mom at harrison's big family party on sunday... it's at her house anyways, i so i thought it'd be a good hostess present... :P

3: i don't think she'd appreciate my usual ladybug or teddy bear cake... any suggestions??? i also need to find some new ways to cut cakes to shape them!!! i always use 'normal' cakes and turn them into theme cakes instead of shelling out a fortune buying or renting the shaped pans... anyone know of a website with suggestions???

[freckledcutie]

1. Kendra wouldn't let me have a piece of her leftover cake last night

2. She's usually not selfish at all

3. She just wanted to be difficult

[medeous]

1. i'm feeling disgustingly perky at the moment

2. my kids followed directions and actually had fun and made something i'm not ashamed to hang in the hallway

3. and they sort of cleaned up after themselves!

warning: this may be a sign of the impending apocalypse...nice knowing you all. ;)

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

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

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.

1 Thanks guys :)
Those actually aren't cool glasses they were drawn on for a site called nerdishleanings and I don't know if it's still up or not

2 I actually do have glasses that look pretty much like that now and suddenly I'm reminded I don't know where they are...... that's not good but typical

3 Those people crammed in the photobooth with me are my brother and sister.... all you can see is my brothers mouth though teehee

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. hmmm...if it's almost apocalypse time I had better take a shower

2. one of my fears it that i'm going to die when I'm stinky

3. Or get into a car crash and have to go to the hospital when I'm stinky

[Dalmaney]

1. I know two Kendra's. They all know the same people, so they are distinguished as K1 and K2.

2. I may get to go Value Village shopping this afternoon, which makes me happy.

3. Although my "relationship" issues bubble away at the back of my brain, they aren't really affecting my life, which makes me happy too.

[Dalmaney]

1. I need to do a bunch of homework this weeked in calculus, fluid dynamics, and mechanics.

2. I want to do a bunch of sleeping this weekend to make up for crazy life this past while.

3. I drew a disturbingly accurate parallel between the Boy and my Timex Indiglo travel alarm (that I lost) the night after he freaked out: life is good with it. it's fun and makes life easier and is just plain pretty cool. but when it's gone, you miss it for a while and you get over it. just because it's not necessarily coming back doesn't mean i regret having it. Ok, actually, in the long run, not having the travel alarm will probably have a more adverse impact on my life. I can't properly nap at school anymore.

[Dalmaney]

1. I got free pizza for lunch because I am a volunteer.
2. I should really meet with my new Big Sister's caseworker and come clean that I haven't been living up to my Big Sister role lately. It's mostly a transportation (and lack thereof) issue... but it's still less than good.
3. I'm all excited about the idea of living sustainably and encouraging responsible development again. I heart Engineers Without Borders.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. eyes bugging out.

2. got one piece of mail today, a contribution for one of my ATC lmaos. :)

3. am sick of certain someone meddling, she should eff off.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. would like to tell certain someone to eff off.

2. no, certain someone is not a nervouser, don't worry.

3. another certain someone should stop telling certain someone things she has no business asking.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am very good at just letting things lie conversationally. If you don't want to tell me, I don't want to know.

2. I am not very good at subtlety.

3. I have a tendency to oversimplify that is getting worse with my time as an engineer. It's going to get me in trouble in my Women and Gender Studies class, as that's all about language and binaries and other non-concrete stuff like that.

[Dalmaney]

1. It's time for me to go man (woman? I hate language!) the EWB booth.
2. This will require faking enough knowledge to teach people stuff.
3. I like teaching people that want to learn.

[cindi1023]

1. I really ready for this long weekend to begin!

2. I'm going to scrapbook all day tomorrow with "the girls."

3. I'm glad I finally found a good group of women who love to scrapbook as much as I do! We always have a good time.

[Christine_0701]

1. someday i'm going to do some scrapbooking

2. my sister used to take scrapbooking classes, maybe she can teach me some

3. or i can sign up for my own classes and learn that way...

[cindi1023]

1. I'm going to have to depissify before tomorrow's scrapbook day.

2. I don't think they'd appreciate my grumpiness.

3. Maybe a bottle of wine and a good long bubble bath tonight would help. And a foot rub. Wonder if I can talk hubs into that? ;)

When I go to Chicago they always talk about wind chill and heat indexes

1. They only close schools in Southern California because of earthquakes or recently...fires.

2. When we get a few inches of rain the evening news channels give it names like "storm watch 2004" and act like we are getting a typhoon or hurricane.

3. It is in the high 60's low 70's today...no windchill or heat index. (I'm sending warm thoughts to all of you)

[cindi1023]

1. I found the scrapbooking class I took to be a waste of time. They didn't really teach anything... they just showed you the adhesives and talked about what acid-free means, then just let us loose. You could ask questions, but it wasn't really helpful.

2. DO NOT buy one of the scrapbooking magazines when you're first starting out. They are very intimidating.

3. Start out small. Don't try to organize all your photos first or anything. Choose one event (like a birthday party) and pick 4 or 5 pictures that best show what that event was all about. Then think about what you'd tell someone about the photos if you were standing over their shoulder while they were looking at them. Put that info on the page. Then embellish! That's the basics, and I saved you the money for a class! :D

hehe thanks

what i'd probably do, is go to the scrapbooking store in vernon and get a membership

it lasts for a year, and i get discounts on all the stuff, and free use of their scrapbooking room

i can use die cuts, and shaped scissors, and paper punches and stuff in their scrapbooking room, and go in there and ask for help, etc.

[cindi1023]

1. That sounds like a good plan, Christine! Buying the supplies for yourself can get expensive! :)

2. I've found lots of good scrapbooking stuff at various $1 stores. I've bought shaped hole punches, fancy scissors & gel pens there before. I :wub: gel pens!

3. I also find lots of good stuff in the clearance section of scrapbook stores or craft stores (like Michael's).

[Christine_0701]

I like dollar stores

I can get gel pens 3 for a buck at the dollar store

I can get a whole scrapbooking kit for 6 bucks at the dollar store

[nymphette]

1: i wish cindi and christine would come here for a scrapbooking bee.....

2: i'd never scrapbooked before i made julian's baby album.... technically though, a lot of it waas computer printed out images on cardstock, pictures/embellishments added....

3: now i'm all about the paper... ;)

[kittymao]

Hm- I'm trying to think of three random facts I haven't posted but can't come up with much. This means I've been on the computer too much and not done enough living. Bad me.

Hopefully this weekend will be eventful. A bike show, followed by a baby shower. Which means Uber coolness followed by utter weirdness. Billy Lane's supposed to be there, he makes the most AMAZING bikes. I'm also hoping Chica, but we'll see.

I don't even really LIKE the girl who's getting the Baby Shower, but it's my BF brother's lady, and Bro's super whipped. So if we don't go, She'll holdit over us and make sure we'll NEVER SEE THE KID. I'm convinced she moved to get the kid away from us.

*ps. her name is Hannah, and she's due in February, I think.*

[freckledcutie]

1. I love to scrapbook

2. I entered the Chatterbox $10,000 contest

3. One of my very good friends was a finalist in the contest and placed in the top 3

[freckledcutie]

1. I want to go to a scrapbooking bee, too :D

2. I flew to Chicago just to scrapbook all weekend with my friend

3. She had the most amazing scraproom

[thunderstorm_19]

1. it's so funny how many products have the names of endangered animals in their names (example: raleigh Ocelot bicycle)

2. i'm hungry

3. off i go

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- In one hour I will be embarking on my drive to New Jersey.

-2- There was a hair in the sandwich I ordered for lunch. Not my own hair. :(

-3- I am beyond exhausted. I am always wiped out by Friday.

[freckledcutie]

1. My own hair in something doesn't bother me

2. There was a hair in my toothbrush this moring

3. It was my daughter's and it was long and curly and all wrapped around the bristles...how did this happen? ugh...she's messy

[nymphette]

1: i need to work on my CD today for survivor!!!! i dont' have a black cd so ia m going to use one of chris's dance music cd's.... i wonder wht he'll do when he notices it's gone.... <_<

2: i need to get started on the mural for julian's room.... he wants underwater themed... i think he's thinking finding nemo... and i'm thinking john roger..... <_<

3: i still haven't figures out what to do for a cake.. though sharky gave me a good example..... :lol:

[nymphette]

1: here we go!!! i found one!!!! this is it!!! http://www.storkbabygiftbaskets.com/1st_cake_ideas.htm the last cake at the bottom.... perfect, then all i need to make is "ONE" cake, a page for my mom and one for harrison!!!!!!! yeeeeehaaaaah!!!

2: yes, it doesn't take much to excite me....

3: :P

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i'm done typing in my list of enviro-sites (6 pages worth), apart from now typing in what each website is.

2. then i get to start on the agriculture info from the royal winter fair back in november.

3. but i'm taking a break to do some other stuff now.

[cindi1023]

1. Two of my kitties fight every morning over who gets to sit on the bathroom counter and look at themself in the mirror while I'm getting ready for work... hmmm... feline vanity! <_<

2. I'd love to come scrap with nymphette!

3. Although, hubs would have to stay home. First of all, because we'd be scrapbooking. Secondly, he hates Canada. Nothing against Canadians per-se, but his ex-wife has poisoned him against the entire country. She was that big a bitch! :blink:

[nymphette]

1: that's pretty bad cindi!!! did you ever have the pleasure of meeting her??? heh

2: i've dated several americans... not one poisoned me against the u.s.!!!! (they were all hockey players... :P

3: no men allowed at a scrapping bee...... esp my husband..... he doesn't understand my need for 827 different kinds of papers.....

[cindi1023]

1. Nope -- never met her. Never will.... she died last year. Aneurism.

2. I've heard LOTS of stories, though. She was not a nice person.

3. I feel bad that he holds an entire country accountable for her, though... :huh:

[nymphette]

1: i see bluecrayon sitting quietly in the forums....

2: i should be busy with a project or two today but i got so much done yesterday (seriously!!!) that i feel like being a slacker today... :P

3: julian needs to get up from his nap now... he's feeling much better tody... (though he was up whining about what-he-did-not-know about seven times last night....)

[bluecrayon]

bluecrayon is only quiet because she is doing other stuff (like lmaos) and just popping over here every now and then to see what's up ;)

I am off to teach my bi monthly art class...

Am I the only one here who is flabbergasted by the number of views this thread has received???? Yikes....


don't do anything really colorful until I get back, okay? I don't want to miss anything. :D

[nymphette]

1: i am feeling a bit dizzy....

2: i hope it is from too much caffeine... i ws eating coffe flavored candies (because i need to alter the tin... :P) and didn't realize they are 'caffeine' candies!!! washing them down with coffee and pepsi.... hmm.....

3: maybe it' because i am hungry..... (microwave popcorn sounds good... ;))

[kittymao]

I'm hoping I can convince my boyfriend to get hoagiesteaks for dinner before we depart to Sacramento. I don't know what it is, cheesesteak and cheese on hoagie rolls just tastes like HEAVEN. Good thing I don't eat them often. Otherwise I could write GOODYEAR on my side and see the superbowl for free.

My hair is wrapped in a towel. It's the last thing that comes off after a shower- not until the last year have I begun to use a hairdryer so the towel on my head for extended periods is a winter habit. Hee- I think I have a picture of me with a towel on my head- somewhere.

Gwensmom's book arrived today- I adored the inscription and can't wait to show my Boyfriend. I don't know what he'll think of it, but I'm bubbling over with the giggles over it.

[Curlita]

1. We are 99% sure that my husband has a new job. YAY! He has been in the restaurant industry since we met. Now he will actually have a job where he only needs to work 40 hours a week instead of 55, and he actually gets home before midnight every night. AND he gets holidays, and the insurance will kick ass. I'm just waiting for that final percentage point to come in before I totally lose it and start capering madly about.

2. I need to go walk my dog (who, speaking of hairs in things, manages to get his in almost everything I eat).

3. This is the first full week I've worked in over a month (holidays!). Today I left for a 2:00 meeting; when the meeting got cancelled, I decided to come home instead of going back to work. Bad, bad Erica!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. my hubs didn't get the job that he was interviewed for today

2. he didn't get it because they were not hiring

3. why would you call someone in for an interview if you had no jobs to give them????

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I don't like it when my hubs leaves the toilet seat up. I ask him to try to put it down when he's "done"

2. He says that I should start puting the seat back up when I'm "done"

3. I don't like his logic...

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. someone needs to come play chain games with me

2. I'm really bored :blink:

3. *sigh*

[cryptaesia]

1
i had a 'double' mohawk when i was 19

2
i have an endless knowledge of alternative music

3
i am currently listening to hockey online

[Dalmaney]

1. I am being antisocial tonight and I don't know why.
2. I think I may call my sister in Australia, being as I'm finally home on a Friday night.
3. Right now, my plans hinge around watching "Joan of Arcadia", some herbal tea, some reading, and a whole crapload of sleep.

[thunderstorm_19]

1... who does that crazy *%R*# think she is?

2... why does he still talk to her? he knows she's nuts, he's said so himself.

3... how do i deal with this one?

OK so since those aren't facts, these are:

1. she's practically certifiable

2. he's being manipulated by her

3. <_< :angry: :unsure: :blink: :( :ph34r:

[Christine_0701]

ooooh, me too!!!

i loooooove that show :D

i missed all the eps in december :(

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I really don't know sometimes......

I can't write letters on demand like I thought I could, not that anyone but me is demanding.

There is a cat hanging in my face saying hello pet me.

[Christine_0701]

i passed a scrapbooking store today

i went to the beach today and got some shells

next weekend, me and charlene are going back, and i'm bringing a bag...i'm going to make a bunch of candles with them ;)

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

**looks over shoulders** I think I might having someone following me

There is someone in the hall, I don't know who. They are still there but I can't see them.

It was somone who was grocery shopping.

[Dalmaney]

1. I tried to go shopping at Winners, but everything sucked. Either the size was wrong, or the color was wrong, or the fabric was wrong. Bleh.

2. I did watch "Joan of Arcadia". Sympathized with the romantic subplot which centered around a "we're not ready for this" theme.

3. My sister had the nerve to not be home. I should try her again before I go to sleep.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I've spent toooo much time online today :P

2. I don't feel much like doing anything else...

3. except maybe watching Amelie.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I want to watch Amelie too.

I want a garden gnome.

No actually I'd like to BE a garden gnome

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I too would like to have a garden gnome

2. I want a whole village of them

3. I could be like the guy in The Full Monty

[Sirius]

1. Someone told me I looked very metro today. I wasn't positive what that meant until later someone said something else about looking New Yorkerish. I wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing.

2. School. 9am. on a Saturday. until 4:30pm. Followed by School 9am on Sunday. until 4:30pm. Follwed by work all week. Repeat for five weeks. Ech.

3. Going to finish my thank you cards now.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

OOOOOOOH gnome village!!! Wow what a vision.

I am laughing

Because I am so silly, I am really. I swear

[Christine_0701]

gnome villages are cool

i have a friend who used to paint garden gnomes

and she strategically placed them in her house and garden. she even had some turtles and rabbits and a deer ;)

[Dalmaney]

1. I believe "metro" is like "met", which is short for "metrosexual"... but maybe that's only for guys. Basically, it means looking good, but kind of high maintainance... I think. Slang eludes me much of the time.

2. I am hungry and should eat something.

3. My friend Evan has a garden gnome with a motion sensor in it. It will play "soothing" noises when it senses you are around.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1.wha- wow...I learned something new

2. your friend Evan sounds pretty freakin' cool

3. I have a yard sculpture of 2 frogs stacked on top of each other. It looks like they're being naughty ;)

[Dalmaney]

1. After a moment of internet research, "metrosexual" seems to mean a straight guy with some "gay" characteristics like dressing well. So if that's what they meant, Sirius, they were as bad at slang as I am.

2. Evan is one of the coolest guys I know. He knows everything. Like how to hang a car from a bridge in a safe yet effective way. The walls of his house have a "Things We Hate" poster, "Things We Love" poster, and a giant sheet tacked to the wall that you have to sign the first time you visit.

3. Evan also bought the Special Edition DVD of "Batman". Original Batman. I watched it with him on Tuesday when I was diverting my attention from the reality of my life.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. Back when I had roommates we had a whole wall covered in coloring book pages

2. when someone would come over we made them color a picture and hang it on the wall

3. sometimes I really miss living in that place...

[Christine_0701]

that sounds like a cool idea jaime!!!

i'll do something like that in my own house

hmmm....thinks of an equally cool idea to do

[cryptaesia]

I ummm am lost

ever feel like you aren't yourself?

I like pasta

[Dalmaney]

1. I feel not like myself too much of the time.
2. I think myself is changing all the time.
3. The only way to get to know me is to spend time with me again.

[cryptaesia]

blixa and squee

[nymphette]

1: i want to know what sirius was wearing today to be called metro and new yorkish!!!! new yorkerish??? hm

2: i bought chili garlic sauce today.... i am making sushi rolls tomorrow for julian and my lunch...

3: i have to go measure formula tonight... and make up several baggies so i have an extra five minutes each other night of the week, even if it means i lose twenty tonight!!!!

[nymphette]

1: i always wonder what the police or dea would say if they raided my house and found the gram scale and beakers and baggie of white powder stashed in my cupboards and drawers full of syringes and urine cups!!!! :P...

2: i wondered that when i came home with harrison from winnipeg- because i was flying with all this dubious looking paraphenelia in a suitcase... plus all kinds of medications and syringes in my carryon.... ;)

3: okay, i've procrastinated enough.. off to make formula.....

[Christine_0701]

my mom got stopped by the cops once, and they saw her baggie of coffee creamer

they confiscated it :o

after that, she made sure she had an actual container for it ;)

[bluecrayon]

He is here with me now and I dance over here in between responses.

I was arrested once for blocking the entrance to a military base --

I had those plastic handcuffs strapped around my wrists and the officer was surly...

[tanagee]

When my Megan talks:

Finger sounds like f@#ker

Shirt sounds like s*%t

Fork sounds like f@#k

[thunderstorm_19]

- mom's taking me to the movies to see "girl with a pearl earring" after dinner tonight

- i'm halfway done my coffee

- i slept soundly, but not very comfortably last night

[thunderstorm_19]

- i'm seriously wanting to start a community garden close by

- i can't think of a good spot to do it, let alone muster up the guts to call the city and ask about permission, and so on and so forth

- i'm not good at sharing my ideas, i fear that other people will think they are stupid

[thunderstorm_19]

- i'm now done my coffee

- my goal today is to get 2 or 3 things that are late or close to due done (eek)

- i always get inspired to do new things when i'm in the middle of other things (this is true of my art, schoolwork, and many other things)

[reddirtrose]

I went to the folk art museum when I was in Santa Fe yesterday

I can't wait to take my grandkids there

I am going to go make breakfast any minute now....

[thunderstorm_19]

- i'm now having a second coffee (which i don't usually do)

- i need to get some slightly-larger than usual envies

- i'm glad i didn't buy pageflags the other day, i found 5 things of them in my drawer yesterday

[nymphette]

1: my cakes are ready to be iced and decorated... i bought fruit roll ups to use as scrapbooking paper... and starburst for photo corners- i'll cut them in half diagonally... i just have to find a picture of my mom that she wont' kill me to use on her birthday cake... :o

2: harrison won't care which pictures i use on his page... unless of course i use a naked picture.. and make sur ei take cake pictures and put them in his baby book for future blackmail and my own personal amusement when he beings a girlfriend home... :P

3: i confiscated all of my mom's pictures that showed me in compromisng and embarrassing situations.... ;)

[Christine_0701]

1. I think your idea bout a community garden is good!!!

2. If we had a community garden somewhere where I gerw up, my parents would totally have done it

3. one place we lived, we had a garden....it was fun. we also had an apple tree....lots of apple pie mmmmmm

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. It's snowing- AGAIN

2. I really need to get the furnace fixed :P

3. The bedroom is the only place that gets really cold. The stove and oven keep the rest of the place quite toasty

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. At least our gas bill has been really low :)

2. I need to do laundry :P

3. meow.

[Dalmaney]

1. We had a hardcore garden on our family farm. Well, have, I guess. It's slowly turning into a monster potato patch, but we also grow: peas, corn, brocolli, cauliflower, beans, squash, pumpkins, zucchinni, carrots, onions, garlic, dill, cucumbers, kohlrabi, swiss chard, lettuce, raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries... pretty much everything that will grow in our soil in our season.

2. I never much liked gardening, mostly because of the freaking huge scale we did it on. We also had our own chickens for eggs and meat, pigs for meat, cows for milk and cream and meat... we're about sugar and coffee and flour away from being pretty much self sufficient.

3. Someday I want a garden again, but I never want to raise chickens or pigs. I might be able to tolerate a cow, but I could never milk it every day. Plants you can abandon for a week or two. Animals don't tolerate that well.

[nymphette]

1: mmmmmmmmmm.... gooseberries..........

2: my birthday present to my mom is still not finished and her party is tomorrow.... hm... this is hte birthday gift that would have been a christmas gift if i had gotten in gear before then....

3: it's an altered calendar, so i guess i can't put it away and give it to ehr next year!!!!! though it only has seven pages to do becuse hte months are two to a page....

4: damn chain games...

5: damn no will power...

6: okay... going to finish various projects now.. really....

[Dalmaney]

1. I am trying to work on my school stuff, but it is hard.
2. I don't like doing things that are hard.
3. I hate shallow people.

[cryptaesia]

i am working right now, gettin things done

really i am

no really...(singing)everybody was kung fu fighting

[gwensmom]

I grew kohlrabi once

It looks like something that would grow in an alternate reality. Or on mars.

Go look at some kohlrabi (http://www.mariquita.com/images/photogallery/kohlrabi-young.jpg)

[Dalmaney]

1. I don't know why we bother to grow kohlrabi. Even when successful, all you get is kohlrabi. It's really not good.

2. Same with zucchinni. The only way anyone eats it is diguised as something else.

3. I hate homework.

[nymphette]

1: mmmmmmmmm.... kohlrabi!!!!

2: here i am again, wasting more time...

3: i felt it ws my duty as a member of this community to come here and update you all on what i have gotten done since the last time i updated....
- artistic survivor altered cd- check
-nope, that's it... gotta do the cake before my sister and her kids get here!!! and i'll let HER do a page on the calendar first...

4: just thought you'd all like to hear about how productive i am (not) being today.........

I didn't like kolhrabi much either

It tasted kind of like broccoli

I think I disguised it by putting it in soup and it was actually pretty good in there.

[cryptaesia]

I guess this is love or it wouldn't bounce around so much.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i just saw "girl with a pearl earring".

2. i loved it.

3. i could use a drink.

[gwensmom]

I listened to "Whaddya Know" this morning on PBS in the car

Part of the show is a quiz where they ask questions to an audience member and a person who calls in

One of the questions today was about funky monkey underwear!

Bonus fact: When I heard this I was driving on the same stretch of road I was on when I first heard the BNL monkey postcard song. Maybe I should go that way more often!

[Christine_0701]

1. I'm watching figure skating....it's the BMO Financial Group Canadian Championships Gala

2. I'm really excited because Elvis Stojko's gonna be skating

3. Last week, Elvis got inducted into the Canadian Figure Skating Hall of Fame

4. The CFSHF doesn't have an official home :(

[Bugitha]

1. I am the very last house on my postman's route so I never get mail until 5pm. :(

2. I was not a girl scout, but I was a campfire girl! We sold candy, not cookies.

3. I did all my candy sales myself. This is probably why I am more than willing to buy cookies/candy/whatever from the little girls set up outside the grocery store, but never buy from parents who bring the sign up sheets to work.

[Christine_0701]

1. elvis just skated

2. it was VERY cool

3. :D

[Dalmaney]

1. I am a pirate, and I am ok with that. Today I have pirated Futurama and The Starting Line. Music, if I like it enough that I feel guilty, I may someday buy.

2. My acquaintance Scott (I was going to say "friend", but that's pushing it) is playing this weekend in Medicine Hat. The band is only planning to ever do this one venue, so they're the One Eyed Only's.

3. I have secured a ride to church tomorrow, which means I don't have to freeze to death and walk. I would... it's not that cold... but it's silly to let my pride keep me from asking for a ride.

[bluecrayon]

I am confused by him

I am far away from him

I am still dancing with him

[Cuilanië]

- I have completely cut myself off from the Internet in the past 48 hours.

- Most of that time was spent sleeping.

- I'm still sleepy.

[Cuilanië]

- I have a letter to finish and some projects to complete, and I don't think I'll be done with everything by tonight...

- I feel completely out of it on the forums these days.

- I sympathise completely with bluecrayon...

[Cuilanië]

- I'm in love

- This makes life both wonderful and a bit crazy...

- My mind is spinning in so many directions at once, I don't know which one to follow.

[thunderstorm_19]

i pissed my dad off.

he pissed me off.

english pancakes for breakfast. :)

[thunderstorm_19]

i've been chatting (messenger) with a guy who would best be described as my ex over the past few days, including last night.

last night he put the voice chat on, so i could hear his voice.

i don't have a microphone on my comp, so he couldn't hear me though.

[thunderstorm_19]

mom and i came in from the movies at 9:30ish last nite.

i went upstrs to bed at 11:30/12ish.

I crashed so completely. I managed to get into my jammies. But I left the light on, didn't brush my teeth, or anything.

[reddirtrose]

The sun is out for the first time in days

I much prefer sunshine to grey days

We need rain or snow or the drought will be terrible

[cindi1023]

1. **kicking myself**

2. I screwed up. I thought the deadline for our answers on US Artistic Survivor was midnight last night. It wasn't -- it was 8:00 p.m.

3. I was the first one booted off the island. :unsure:

[Dalmaney]

1. I am trying to decide if the shirt I'm wearing is too skanky to wear to church.
2. Even if it is, I want to wear it today. It makes me feel sexy, and that's how I feel like feeling.
3. No one at church really cares what I wear. At least no one I know about.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am still cautiously optimistic that someday I will get my "Let Us Pray" journal back.

2. It has been written in by 12 people, which is WAAAY more than anything else that's ever made it home.

3. I created the object on August 31, 2002. That's three months after I joined.

[thunderstorm_19]

i had a dream about a snake last night.

the sort out is almost complete.

i'm amazed, i had duplicates of more things than i thought... now, what to do with that stuff, knowing i won't have the will to toss much of it out...

[cindi1023]

1. I just spoke to my mom on the phone, and can tell she's pissed about something.

2. She won't ever come right out and say what's making her mad, she'll just stew over it for a few weeks, then explode.

3. I don't know what to do with her!

[Dalmaney]

1. I just posted my sixth Graceful Envelope LMAO.
2. They are some of my favorite LMAO's to run because they are usually pretty successful.
3. I think it's because they're so easy to complete, but still so fun to do.

[Bugitha]

1. I had a very disturbing dream last night in which I was putting together "suicide kits for women" for sale on the internet. They contained a noose, razor blades, sleeping pills, and some other stuff. :o

2. In the same dream, we were living under a monarchy.

3. Also in the same dream, I wore a retainer. I haven't done that since I was sixteen.

[marmarg]

1. I can write backward in handwriting [not printing] as fast and as legible as I can forward, so you can read it perfectly in a mirror.

2. I have double-jointed shoulders... gross, I know.

3. I used to eat ketchup sandwiches as a kid... yep, bread and ketchup... hehe

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I just woke up :P Yay for sleeping in!!!!!

2. I have the sniffles :P I think It's a sinus infection...I hope it is...I get them all the time, so at least It'll be something I'm acquainted with

3. I sometimes miss the way new love feels...

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I like cheese

I want to paint today

I have no blank canvas left

[Katiekat]

1. I had a really great time last night! I went to a show last night (Tabla Rasa and The Elders) with friends Eric and Justo, then we went over to new band mate Hannah's house. Altogether, there were 8 people there and we sat around talking, playing cards, drinking, smoking, listening to and playing music, laughing, and bonding. We were having such a good time that no one noticed that it was 5 o'clock in the morning. I made new friends (Amy, Mike, Thaddeus, and Jess) and gave my phone number to a very cute guy (Thaddeus [is that a cool name or what?!]). yay for fun Saturday nights!!

2. I danced with Justo last night, in a sort of romantic way.

3. I'm still in my pajamas and wondering when Thaddeus will call.

[Dalmaney]

1. I already miss the feeling of new love. I almost wish he would have just lied to me for a while... but in the end, it wouldn't have been worth it.

2. I heard the most amazing thing at the art gallery this morning: a 40 person choir singing. Each person had been recorded on an induvidual mike, and then each speaker was playing back one person. Amazing.

3. I don't want to do this week. I want to run away and join the circus.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I'm tired of sneezing

2. I hate sneezing...I'll fight off sneezes as long as possible. They make me feel like my head is exploding...

3. I should go play nintendo games...cause I'm a dork...

1. snowing
2. nephew looming over shoulder, wanting computer
3. wore heels today

[Curlita]

* I've spent about THREE HOURS this weekend re-organizing my craft supplies. I keep trying to find a way to arrange them so that they don't become this massive mess that takes over the living room. And so that I know what I have so I can use it.

* I need to make some serious, major crafts before I can rationalize buying more supplies! And I need to start mailing a lot of postcards...

* I also need to get out of my bathrobe, brush my teeth, and convince my husband that it's time to stop working on the car and take the dog for a walk before it gets completely dark.

[thunderstorm_19]

[Dalmaney]

1. Somedays I would kill to have a car and be able to run my own transportation life.
2. Not having a car does make me more humble and more environmentally friendly.
3. I have a deal with myself that I am only allowed to buy a car if I get a summer job out of town.

[thunderstorm_19]

i took a 25 minute nap

i don't think it was a good idea

roast beef for dinner tonight (one of my fave meals)

[thunderstorm_19]

i just caught up on my 'thoughts du jour' (see all other objects - RAOKs) for the last few days

i'm finally lowering the amts of stationery i have kicking around

now, to lower the amts of other things... i'm beginning to think my postage costs this year should be used for exchanging postcards, ATCs, sending RAOKs, birthday and christmas cards, completing currently running objects (of course), and not a whole lot else

I was a Blue Bird (Camp Fire Girl version of Brownies) before I was a Girl Scout. I remember selling the peanut brittle and mint patties. :)

I was the only one in my Blue Bird troop to go to 'sleep-away' camp, so I was the only one who had this cool tree badge on my sash. B)

Because my Leader had heart problems , my troop disbanded right after we 'flew-up' to Camp Fire Girls. :(

[tanagee]

I was only a Blue Bird in 1st grade.

And a Girl Scout only in 6th and 7th grade

Most of my GS troop quit once we were in 8th grade, because it was 'so uncool' to be a Girl Scout.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I was never a girl scout or any kinda scout

2. I did have a girl scout uniform that I would wear for fun

3. I didn't have many friends when I was little...the other kids though I was weird...

2. I wonder if she's had help in dredging these up, like from a cat.

3. I've spent almost the whole day online here; soon I'll be typing like Siriustell.

He is still dancing in my head

My cheeks are blushed past the coldness of the night...

2. Maybe something good will come of it though.

3. My eyes sting from crying off and on for over 5 hours. :(

[sarahkate]

1. Wow. Those last 3 facts were too depressing. Must post something more happy.

2. I had french toast and home fries for breakfast. They were good :)

3. We watched Pirates of the Caribbean this morning. The monkey chirping in the movie woke my dog up and then she stared at the tv and whimpered. She was confused. It was cute :P

[thunderstorm_19]

1. pirates of the caribbean... mmm... (who knew jonny depp would look that good as a pirate?!)

We saw Big Fish

I was looking good with my freckled_cutie domino necklace and my yardenxanthe handbag!

1) I went to the Michael's sale today

2) I snagged the last faux postage holepunch at 25% off and got a bunch of marbles/ magnets for making marble magnets

3) I made a creepy/cute stuffed owl today. it was cute. and creepy. and I haven't hand-sewn anything for quite some time, but it came out well anyways.

1. These are not debate-able facts. Hm...but I usually find everything debatable.

2. the fact that I am so tired that I cannot fathom how to spell debatable is also not available for debate.

3. I have a friend who is fascinated with words, grammer and sentence structure, but cannot fathom anyway to make a living with this fascination. I, on the other hand have noticed that my vocabulary, sentence structure and spelling abilities are dwindling with time. Must challenge self before brain turns to mush. Not wanting to move on to more random facts, so random babble is consuming third fact. will go to sleep now. night.

argh, no really, must sleep NOW

[hammerquill]

1. I will not debate Sirius's statement that she's too tired to spell: her use of the word "grammer" confirms it pretty well.

2. I will not debate that those previous unpronounceable facts are among the most random I've ever seen here.

3. However, there're only two Gs in akjgioeapolkdgmkuiojkljl.

1. I miss Tom too...

2. Today has been a lazy, lazy day.

Okay -- now is when it gets hard, these long distance love affairs...

It is 9:30 in the middle of a 3 day weekend and I am home wearing pajamas and playing chain games... sigh.

I am wrapping myself in self pity -- it is very pink.

2. Ok...so It's not all that recent...

3. I'm listening to "I Want You To Want me" right now, and the boy is hating me....

[bluecrayon]

Having gone to high school in Chicage, Cheap Trick was a big deal...

I kind of like them and kind of don't like them...

I don't know how I really feel about anything...

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i found another like 6 old calendars.

2. i can at least use them to make some oversized envies instead of having to buy oversized envies.

3. now, if only i could find some thin clear tape...

[thunderstorm_19]

1. maybe dad can run me up to the dollar store today.

2. my neck aches.

3. so does my jaw, i think i was grinding my teeth last night.

[Sirius]

her use of the word "grammer" confirms it pretty well

1 - I thought you'd like it.
2 - I pondered editing it to correct it.
3 - Then I became distracted by something shiny or is it shiney. By something bright. I am still tired.

woke up later than expected

gonna eat an orange for breakfest

hollys still asleep

[sarahkate]

1. Nervousness is especially quiet today. I think a lot of people in the U.S. are enjoying a day off because it's Martin Luther King Day. I have to work today despite that fact <_<

2. I am very interested lately in making an art doll. I have never made one before, but they seem so fun. If I make one and it comes out decent I think I will donate it to N'ness to be sold on EBAY.

3. I have also been interested in slams lately. I have never seen one in person.

[thunderstorm_19]

1: harrison's birthday party was good.... he liked mommy's gifts best of all.... i bought him a stuffed tiger in a wonderful shade of orange who looks almost exactly like HOBBES.... like, not the in-calvin's-imagination-real-life-playing-and-breathing- hobbes... but the stuffed hobbes everyone but calvin sees...

2: i polished off a magnum of champagne throughout the party.... i dont' know why i did this, though i was happy while i did.... my sister wanted to cut me off because i was laughing too much.. hm.. you'd think she' prefer that to the real me...

3: not so happy today, big fight with chris....

[Bugitha]

1. I wonder why I can see Hammerquills new avatar on my work computer, but not on my home computer.

2. I am thinking about taking a book binding class at the museum.

3. I am thinking about applying for claims rep position. I've never considered the insurance industry, but I really need a job. Or will, in two weeks, when I'm laid off.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. Bah! I'm officially sick again

2. I don't really mind being this kind of sick...

3. My voice is all grumbly and funny, so I keep singing along to songs...It makes me giggle. It makes the boy stare at me with a confused look on his face :blink:

[sarahkate]

1. I'm glad to hear that D_O_A is giggling :)

2. I'm very sleep today & I have no work to do & I can't think of anything to do online (besides Nervousness of course!) & I wish I had a cd burner on my work computer so I could burn cds I need to make for LMAOs/PIFs/ect. but I don't & that makes me mad because I am sitting here all day wasting away & by the time I get home from work tonight I am sure I will be ultra sleepy & I won't feel like going on the computer at home & making cds & that's just ...that. ^_^

3. I have well over 200 sites listed in my Internet Explorer Favorites folder! :o

[medeous]

1. because i watched hours of mindless sitcoms last night, DoA's post about singing with her grumbly voice now reminds me of phoebe and her "sexy phlegm"

2. i attempted to sew something today...looks like i'll need to make a second attempt

3. if i were dressed instead of wearing fuzzy pink hello kitty jammies, i would probably feel like going somewhere. is that a fact?

bonus fact: "is that a fact?!" sounds confrontational and testy to me. testy is a funny word cause it sounds like testes and any mention of dangly bits&pieces just cracks me up today. i've had a lot of kool-aid.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

i am so worried and frustrated with finanical situations that I CANNOT CONTROL I am so sick of not having control and not having money

my landlord told my mom who is paying helf our rent because of these finanical situations we owe the FULL AMOUNT when we already paid THE OTHER HALF IN CASH

I hate hate hate hate hate HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS WHOLE STUPID THING

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. landlords suck

2. If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to buy a huge apartment building and let people live there for free. Wonky is more than welcome to come live there...

3. I'm not going to win the lottery, cause I never play the lottery...I can't afford to play the lottery...stupid lottery....stupid landlords...grrrrr

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

Ok, the landlord made an honest mistake, she has a reciept for us.

I want to do the same thing if I win the lotto

Crypt and I have made man y many plans for our lotto winning day..... *sigh*

[nymphette]

1: i can't get into a better mood.... i hate arguing with chris before he goes to work becuase then i ahve all day to eithe rfeel bad that we argued or get madder because we argued....

2: i wish i could type as fast as i think....

3: my mind is so out of control lately i dont' think it is possible to type that fast... for anyone.....

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I am restless and anry and ummm I dunno I just can't get CALM!!!!!!!

ARGRAHRHRG!!!!! I need to get something done

I don't know what I can do

[nymphette]

1: driving home last night i asked chris to make a note for me while i was thinking of the phone calls i had to make today... i said 'just write what i say........ call liz RE: MMR and MRI IV... call DT RE: MMR in PM... call MRI unit RE: IV at 6 AM...' he was silent for a minute and i said 'did you hear what i said???' and he said 'yeah.. did you??? you sounded like one of those comedy sketches where everyone talks in letters and abbreviations!!!' ... oh...

2: i got all my phone calls done anyhow... ;)

3: i can't find any felt and i had my heart set on making something out of felt today and now i can't... i wonder if i can get inspired to do something else... anything else!!!!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I've been procrastinating alllll day

2. eventually I AM going to have to get dressed and leave the house :P

3. but it's cold out there...and...and I have a cold...and...and...can't someone else do it???

[cindi1023]

1. I finally got all my Christmas decorations taken down today... FINALLY! :ph34r:

2. I still haven't taken my monkey-cheese picutre.... I need to get on that!

3. I'm trying to catch up on nness stuff today since I'm off work... I've actually been getting stuff done today! :P

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i did go out.

2. it was colder than I thought.

3. i got rid of some used books.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i went to the dollar store too.

2. and the post office.

3. i hadn't planned to go to the PO, so the few things that didn't already have postage on them didn't get taken with me, and didn't get mailed (i took the things that had postage on them w/ me and mailed them, because i passed a mailbox on my way to the bus stop)

[kittymao]

The Bike Show rocked. I got to sit on a $20,000 custom chopper. And have pictures! Just need to get them from the camera to the computer. *ps. Updated my Profile pic. Still a goofy gappy smile, but more me in an Un-Me place.*

The baby shpwer wasn't so bad. I mean- it wasn't AWESOME, but it could have been way worse. I think wearing black and having new shoes, and consuming seven layer dip were major comfort factors.

I am staying at my BF's for the week. So I'm not home. But my parents are, so if stuff arrives, know it is safe and I will take care of it when I go back Sunday. I also go back to school that Monday, so know that i will have creativity to complete projects coursing through eveyr cell that constructs my human body.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I really want to learn how to knit

2. I don't know how hard it is to learn...is it something you can learn from a book?

3. Hmmm...I want chocolate...

1. I learn from a book. I'm not that great, because I haven't done it much, but it wasn't that hard.

2. It was a kids' book, and had a story

3. I don't remember what it was called, but it's about mittens, and has a pattern in it to make mittens :D

[gwensmom]

Kittymao's new profile pic is uber-cute!

DoA- lots of people learn knitting from books. It may help to see some animated instructions like these (http://www.dnt-inc.com/barhtmls/knittech.html)

I need to go start a baby blanket for a baby due in March.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. Thanks gwensmon! I bookmarked that page for future reference :)

2. christine...that book sounds super-cute!

3. hmmm...lets all just pretend that I wrote something interesting here...

[Ishba]

1) I'm on a crafty-spree

2) http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/13156/Owl1.jpg

3) What should I name it? (edited to note: it's an owl... sort of)

[Ishba]

1) The "report" button is dangerously close to the "edit" button :o

2) I don't wanna go to school tomorrow :(

3) I don't want to do college... I just want to cook my way across the world and study languages, so I really ought to just take classes I like in highschool and not worry about graduating. <_<

[jonnynobody]

1> Found tons of my sister's old cds and am putting them on my recordnerd list.

2> I don't want to go to school tomorrow either. <_<

3> My dog is sick. I wish she was better. :(

[Ishba]

1) I hope your dog gets better

2) my step-mother's dog is sick too, and is at the vet's for a couple days

3) oi.

[Dalmaney]

1. I just got home from school and now I should do my Gender Studies reading.

2. I got put on the project I wanted for my design project.

3. I know two of the other three people in my design group. One is more of a keener than I am, one is um... well, we may have to carry him a bit, but he works pretty hard. Contestant #3 is an unknown wildcard. Tomorrow will be interesting.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I'm boooored...

2. I'm tired of being sniffy. It makes me not want to do anything, but I'm not content doing nothing.

3. Someone should come play chain games with me...

[jonnynobody]

1> I want to take Suki to the vet, but my mom says it's stupid, she's "only a dog". :o

2> I am not pleased with my mom. <_<

3> Thanks, Insipid. :D

[Ishba]

1) eek! only a dog?!

2) If you're really concerned you can PM me with symptoms and I'll ask my vet about it.

3) I really need to go package stuff up to send out tomorrow <_<

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i'm confused

2. i'm annoyed

3. i'm unsure of the right course of action

4. i'm putting more than 3 facts this time

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i could cry

2. i could scream

3. i could ignore it and convince myself i'm making it up

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I feel bad for thunderstorm_19

2. I wish I knew what to say to make everything better

3. I'm not so good with words.....

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I wore an evening gown to an audition on saturday.

I am a ham.

Not literally.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

Your borglewhacker is in my peant butter! is one of the best things I have ever read.

I made garlic bread tonight

I made good garlic bread

[gwensmom]

I think Jaime IS professionally cute

I am wondering where Hainlam is

I stayed in bed until 11:15 today and have felt like a slug ever since.

[Katiekat]

1. 'huitlecoche' is possibly my favorite word ever.

2. I saw Big Fish with Thad last night. I liked it very, very much.

3. I have been extremely social this whole weekend:
~ Friday night: party at Hannah's (home at 3:45 am)
~ Saturday night: Tabla Rasa/Elders show; get-together at Hannah's (home at 5:45 am)
~ Sunday night: coffee, dinner, and a movie with Thaddeus, then stayed up talking until 6 am (home at 6:45 am)
~ Monday: watched Eddie Izzard's Dress to Kill and 28 Days Later with Thad.

Don't you love those conversations that last until all hours of the morning?! :lol:

this is the sweetest thing i've read all day

tell me why men are so confusing

:) :o :huh: :( uuuuuugggggggggggggggggghhhhhh :ph34r: ;) :huh: :unsure:

[thunderstorm_19]

his birthday is saturday

maybe i should deliberately go away for the weekend (no, i won't stoop to that)

he hasn't called all week (but then i haven't called him either), but i have emailed, and he hasn't answered my email, even though i know he's been online...

i'm being an obsessive dork.

i just need to talk to him.

[bluecrayon]

Today marks 4 months since I fell off the planet into his voice and words...

Tears and laughter and ticking clocks are all around me...

I don't know what to do....

[cindi1023]

1. I just finished my ATC's for thunderstorm_19's Research an Artist LMAO. Maybe that will make her life better??? :blink: I'm pleased with them, but I don't think they're that life changing! :blink:

2. I saw the cutest thing in a catalogue yesterday -- they were called "Smittens." It's a pair of mittens, plus one 2-person mitten, so you and your snuggle-bunny can each wear a normal mitten, and have the other "smitten" on so you can hold hands without the outside of your hand getting cold. Does that make any sense???

3. If I knew how to knit, I'd like to make that.... but I don't, so I'll never have smittens -- they cost way too much! :P

I must see them... that's ingenious!

[Sirius]

1. Annuit Coeptis

2. Novus Ordo Seclorum

3. E Pluribus Unum

[medeous]

1. i use the word "smitten" to describe my feelings about my boy
2. i use the word "peckish" to describe the level of my hunger
3. i use the word "peevish" to describe my mood

yay!!

tired.

want to snap fingers and have messy desk area cleaned up.

[bluecrayon]

[QUOTE=medeous,Jan 20 2004, 04:18 AM]1. i use the word "smitten" to describe my feelings about my boy


I use the word crazytouch-- because that's what his fingers feel like on my mind.

I am enamored of the color brown....

I am enamored of the color black...

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

no-one understands my humour....ever I'm so good at mock seriousness they actually thing I am SERIOUS

i am not a serious person

i am not a normal person which explains people's confusion with me

[bluecrayon]

Ah, but you don't confuse me because I am in your tribe!

I m unable to bend my body or my mind enough to fit into those pegs over there...


I MISS Tom... I really do.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I never thought I was part of a tribe

That sounds way more exciting than my previous theroy of brain damage due to an overload of joy at birth.

Zippers were invented in Canada

[medeous]

1. i once thought to myself that everyone is born with all knowledge and teaching is nothing but re-awakening or uncovering that knowledge.

2. i came up with this theory by myself at a very young age...i remember thinking about it while walking from the garage, across the backyard, trying not to step on mulberries.

3. i was later told that someone famous thought this up a long, long time ago, so i decided that A i must be the reincarnation of that famous person, or B i really do already know everything.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I want to live in Canada

2. for lots of reasons, not just the zipper thing

3. although the zipper thing does add to my desire

[medeous]

1. i have no real desire to live in any other country than the one i'm in.
2. i have not taken the christmas decorations down from my porch, yet.
3. thinking about math makes me a bit dizzy.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

My body has innate intelligence, I don't have to think about breathing or circulating my blood or even digesting food

There are 7 colours in the rainbow: red, orange yellow, green, blue, indigo (but that is debateable) and violet.

You only need three to make any colour at all Yellow, blue, red because they are primary colour, they are the base for all colour

[hammerquill]

1. I liked it better when medeous's post had B ) translated into B).

2. Lots of things are suggesting Canada as an interesting place to live, though I'd not considered it much before, being much enamored of the Bay Area.

3. I think I have met some normal people before... but I fled at the first hint of normalcy, so I can't be sure.

[bluecrayon]

My tribe is the fun tribe, the tribe with color and panache, the tribe of the survivors...

I must never for a minute feel like I am alone -- that is way too self absorbed....

I wait for him but I wait for myself, too, to rise out of my life and walk somewhere...

[medeous]

1. i don't think there are normal people.
2. my mother approves of nervousness.
3. she say's the whole thing is "emily-dickenson-ish"

edited because hammerquill was picking on poor, tired me. he hurt my feelings and now i feel sad, please send me stuff to make me feel better. :P

[medeous]

1. i am cold
2. my alarm will go off in a little over 5 hours
3. i am going to bed now

[hammerquill]

1. I wonder if, were one to consider for a minute using longer, more flowery and purple sentences, at least on the forums, medeous's approving mother would perhaps consider the whole thing - that is to say, nervousness and its participants - as Charles Dickens-ish, rather than, as she currently does, Emily.

2. I have been reading Plato and Anthony Burgess and Neil Gaiman recently.

3. I have just been reading my Master's Thesis again, for some reason...

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight.

2. I really should sleep, but if I go to bed now there's no way I'll be able to wake up at 6am :P

3. good night medeous....

[bluecrayon]

Okay, 3 random facts about me:

I'm tall

I'm trapped in some kind of Kafka-esque life where every move I make traps me even more...

I am only alive when he is in my head reminding me that I'm human...

[Christine_0701]

I have a headache

It won't go away

At least I'll be going to bed soon....it should be gone by the time I wake up

[nymphette]

1: i would name insipid's crafty-owl "HOO"

2: i :wub: kelli's new picture- she's so cute, even though we can't see her gap anymore!!!

3: i should be in bed but i have glue drying that i have to wait for to give another coat!!!!

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I only want to live the best life I can

I want happy memories to reflect on in my last moments, great triumphs, miracles. Knowing I did everything I wanted to or knowing i really could have.

I fear that I may die tomorrow and that's supposed to be a good way to live except it's my only true fear. Dying tomorrow would leave so much undone, how i've wasted so much time.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I love everything bluecrayon writes

2. She melds words into something beautiful

3. My words are clumsy and-and stupid

[nymphette]

1: what DOA said... :)

2: i wish i had more time to write but i never feel inspired anymore... except when i am just falliing asleep......... and i don't want to interrupt THAT!!! heaven's no!!!! gotta take the sleep where i can get it...

3: i could probably get it if i went to bed...

sleep that is....

:P

[hammerquill]

1. I must take exception to DOA's third 'fact'.

2. I think cb should make a Post-It note with the words "YOU'RE HUMAN" and post it on her monitor. And carry another copy in her pocket, just in case.

3. A similar note - or book cover, of course - with the words "DON'T PANIC" might be a good idea, too.

[medeous]

1. i have a itinerant spot
2. last week it was on the left side of my chin, now the right
3. i blame this blemish on nervousness and the fact that it makes me rest my chin on my hand.

please send me stuff and make me feel better about my poor, spotty self. :P

[medeous]

1. i just backspaced over all three of my facts
2. i would like one of those "current mood" thingies on all posts, which i may or may not have mentioned before
3. current mood: pissy. <_<
