Three random facts:

[Sirius]

1. I know I've said it before, but the bouncy guy in my signature mesmorizes me.... boing, boing, boing, boing....

2. I should go to sleep soon.

3. "I'll cut out cake, just for your sake, baby, come on , knock me a kiss..." "I love jam and no flim-flam, knock that off my list...." Lyrics can be amusing some times...

[siafu]

i am amazed that rustell can stretch and squeeze a peep without eating it. i could probably do that AFTER the first one.

i should be cooking.

the benadryl kicked in. i am stupefied.

[hammerquill]

1. Okay, so I have never actually tasted a Peep.

2. They look like styrofoam, how good can they taste?

Almost that good...

1. I just watched Naqoyqatsi.

2. It's not as good as Koyaanisqatsi. But I have to see it in a theatre to judge it properly.

3. I should be writing a cover letter for a cool part-time job application, but I don't want to.

:poke:




- I've never tasted a Peep, and from the comments I've seen around here, don't think I want to.

- My grandmother used to make candied apples on a stick. The candy was great but too hard for my little teeth...

- I need to go have breakfast. Now.

[kittymao]

candied apples rock my socks. However, I don't like the green kind of apples, so I only eat the outside. If they're red apples, it's all over. yummie.

I read... like 12 pages of TRF. ak. Y'all need to not be so posty.

Uhm- School is being a major stresser- and not becuase of classes. Which is weird. I've been pondering bringing it up, but fear that it'll be so blahbby, and bore everyone.

[Cuilanië]

- I wonder if the university I applied to will send its answer this week. It might even already be in my mailbox, but I doubt it.

- I've just looked at my finances and set aside money for the next three months' rent. I should be OK until if I'm careful.

- Of course, I expect to have found a job by then. Speaking of which...

[zanna]

the most wonderful person called to wake me up from my slumber this morning.

i think i would have gotten angry at anyone else for waking me up.

i've got about 20 minutes before i have to leave for school.

[freckledcutie]

Well, I'm feeling okay today

My team teacher is depressed...she suffers from severe depression and started new meds a couple of weeks ago

I'm worried about her because I just asked her a question and she started to cry

[Lilac]

My son is a whirling dervish! He is like the Tasmanian Devil! You can tell where this kid been by a trail of stuff strewn on the floor, broken objects, spilled food and drinks. Arrgghh! Yesterday he (accidentally) smashed the lighbulb in the basement, knocked over the open container of Tide, tripped over the clean laundry (thus spilling it into the liquid tide) and knocked over a shelf of canned goods.

My dog vomited up a used tampon. This is really, really disgusting.

I have work to do, so I should probably stop playing chain games and get a move on! (although I'll probably stay here for a good 10-15 minutes more before i can tear myself away!)

[adrienne]

i want to be a private investigator - i may go back to school (anyone do this?)

i'm reading the diary of anne frank

i found some cool stuff in my craft room and i'm going to alter an altoid tin today for the fist time - woot! :)

[thunderstorm_19]

1 so, the power went off for about 10-15 minutes this morning... oh the joy of powercuts

2 it's not even sunny (it's grey and raining) so the house seemed very dark

3 candid camera is so mean sometimse

[Dalmaney]

1. I am leaving for school in 15 minutes because I need to study and home has too many distractions.

2. I still need to write three and a half pages on my paper before Thursday afternoon.

3. I can't wait until none of my 3RF involve school.

[sarahkate]

1. For the first time I just listened to the weekly radio show that girl-who-loves-sharks & kismet09 do, but Heather wasn't doing the show this week so I still didn't get to hear her voice! :( Ah well, there is always next week.

2. I'm thirsty. I think I will go get some cherry coke. I keep telling myself that I'm going to stop drinking soda, but I really lack self control.

3. My cubicle is so boring. I have nothing on my cubicle walls except for two work related papers and 4 magnets.

[gwensmom]

Tell us how to listen to the radio show! I wanna hear it too.

I am leaving work early today to get my hair cut and then go to another funeral.

I am still decluttering my house but it is getting harder and harder to get rid of stuff. I will persevere because I like the big open space that has appeared in the middle of my junk room. Now I have to work on the perimeter.

[tanagee]

I finished reading Pride and Prejudice late last night. I was so pleasantly surprised at the ending. From what Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) said in You've Got Mail I didn't think it had the ending we all hope it would have.

I told myself I wasn't going to get on the computer AT ALL until Megan was taking a nap because I am a BAD MOMMY and let her watch TV in the other room whilst I am on here...and here I am and before I have had any breakfast.

Although, the TV is not on and she is sitting on the floor in here with me playing with all my pens and a calculator. Atleast she has stopped eating the the paper out of the paper shredder like she did whan she was a baby. :)

[Cuilanië]

- I'm cheering on everyone who is sitting exams at the moment.

- It might be my turn next year.

- Absent Roomie will be home next week because his boyfriend will be on a business trip. We're kicking it off with dinner at the local Chinese restaurant, in hopes everything goes smoothly. I've barely seen him since late February.

[Cuilanië]

- The bouncing green guy in Siriustell's signature is kind of mesmerising...

- I'd promised myself a short turn here, until 7pm. I should now boot myself out.

- I'm drinking a rare second c0ffee. There was a time when that was rather the norm and one was the exception.

[beautyredefined]

- I lifted weights today, and I'm sore.

- I got accepted into Phi Beta Kappa!

- My 21st birthday is one month from today!

[zanna]

i'm sitting at school in the graphics room..

..skipping my girl's weights class to play on the internet..

..and hoping i won't get caught.

[joliejoliebobolie]

- I didn't get the job ... I'm still trying to process that

- I get about 15 emails a day with viruses attached - I wish the world could run a virus check at the exact same moment

- I had one of the new Diet Cokes with Lime yesterday...not bad but I probably won't get it again

[zanna]

i'm wearing a shirt that says 'i'm a cox kid'.

it makes me feel like i'm a whore.

but, i'm not.

[timeittook]

-yesterday a stupid girl caused krystal's car to be destroyed. she says her brakes went out(i think she punched the gas) and hit another car(pushed it 30 feet with the brakes smoking) who hit us destroying the trunk which then forced krystal's hood under a SUV. the suv then tapped another car. the car is totaled.
-we were on our way back from buying new fishes (Desdemona and Othello) but they weren't injured. just a little shaken up. and krystal's fine and my back hurts a little.
-i feel like dancing for some odd reason.

[Larrissa]

dragged myself out of bed directly to the computer. i still couldnt open my eyes all the way to the brightness of the screen when i started reading the new posts.

1. Go to http://wmbc.umbc.edu/ - then choose either hi-fi or lo-fi. I couldn't get the file to open in Windows Media Player, so I had to use Sonique. That problem might have been just with my computer though. I think Heather & Kate do their hour long show every Tuesday at 11:00. Heather said she should be back on the air next week. Yay!

2. I didn't have Cherry Coke afterall. Instead I went home at lunch and filled up a bottle of green tea, which I love even more than Cherry Coke. :)

3. I am glad Joe & Krystal and their new fishies weren't hurt in the accident. That must have been scary.

[OHPossum]

i am back at work after a weeks vacation

i had 4 pages of TRF to get through

I was thinkng that I would way rather sit through exams than be at work. At least with exams, it is over at some point. work just goes on and on and on. Like the junk in my sinuses.

[zanna]

my friend is scaring me sitting on the computer next to me

she keeps blurting out obsenities

and i think she may be delusional.

[nymphette]

1: this thread is busy busy busy again!!! :thewave:

2: i have pages to read through before i get to post anything, and i love it!!! much better than having one post from the last time i was one till when i get on in the afternoon- 12 hours later!!! ;)

3: i hope everyone is happy and healthy this week!!!

[nymphette]

1: i see heather!!! hello shark girl!! we miss you!!!

2: i was searching the 'net for a link to (yeah right, as if, but i was hoping) pictures of my little town and i found this link: http://www3.sk.sympatico.ca/aarong/ that's my neighbor down the street!! i dont' know if i should cheer or be afraid..... <_<

3: still havent' found any pictures of my town.... and i dont' have any empty rolls of film, they're all filled with, you guessed it, the boys... ;)

well, it WAS easter you know....

Hi Robyn! I miss you too! Where is my Harrison's scrapbook page?? :( I know you sent it -- why is it taking so long?

Zanna, does your friend have Tourette's Syndrome? That can be very disconcerting.

I cannot stop coughing.

[nymphette]

1: there is also a dog breeder- manchester terriers- in copper sands... http://www.petlane.net/breeders/dogs.html

2: and some weird chick who only talks about her kids... i mean, come on, how cute can they be???? <_<

3: ahem... um... i cut an inch off my hair this morning... it needed a trim, and needed it now because i am obsessive compulsive and therefore obviously couldnt' wait to get someone else to do it, especially the back..... :blink:

[zanna]

school will be over in about 20 minutes.

after school i've got to go to soccer practice for an hour and half.

then i'm off to babysit for my friend while she goes to play a church softball game.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am rewarding myself with a half hour lunch after two and a half hours of studying.

2. It's going ok... although there's one section that's pretty fuzzy. (Solving differential equations using series, to be precise.) I'm not sure I'll get it, even with more work.

3. I'd ask the Boy to help me, 'cause he might actually know it, but I'm not sure I'm capable of concentrating on math whilst he is present.

[sarahkate]

1. I wish there were more non-chain game threads to post in on the forums. I love chain games just as much as the rest of you, but it's even more fun when people post links to new art techniques/websites/whatever that everyone gets excited about and then it sometimes evolves into an LMAO.

2. Oh and the controversial heated debates are always extra fun too. Not that I like to argue, but debating is a good stimulator of the brain. :)

3. I can't stop eating chocolate. My mom gave me a huge easter basket full of it on Sunday.

[OHPossum]

i personally can do without conflict these days. I get enough of it evrywhere else

I hope my harrison love-pages made it to regina sass

I always say Sass for Saskatchewan becasue I think it would be cool to be from a place with Sass

[nymphette]

1: we are going to walk to the boxes to get the mail today, but we arent' going to waste our time by going before 3 pm... <_< we've done that twice already, in the hopes that the mail would be there just ONCE before supper....

2: i wonder if i cna have our mailman fired...... we used to get great service out here, but since this new guy started, i'm missing mail and it's always late....

3: i guess i should suck it up.... it isn't his fault he can't read... or whatever it is that makes him take 8 hours from when he gets the mail a minute's drive from here to getit in the boxes........ :ph34r:

1. Yeah, I know what you mean. It's not the conflict part I like so much, I guess I just like the fact that people act so passionate in threads like that, and it's interesting to see what people REALLY think. Though, sometimes those threads cause anger and hurt feelings which definitely is no good.

2. Maybe we need some fun debates - like Tan M&Ms - should they really have been replaced by blue?. :P

3. I personally really liked the tan M&Ms. After all of these years I still think the blue M&Ms look out of place.

[kittymao]

Nymphie- you should TOTALLY complain. There's a change in your service directly related to your mailman and SOMETHING needs to be said. arr.

school issues abound- too many things going on there for me to really focus on my studies, and in some part of my brain, becuase of these issues, it makes me not want to work. *shrugs* I guess I should just keep chugging- I'm going to graduate so maybe it won't affect me. *crosses fingers*

i want pancakes with boysenberry syrup.

[OHPossum]

after sucking on them all day, i am completely grossed out by Ricola

it's sunny here, but in the 30's. it makes me cranky

i just found a book I can't wait to read by an author I have had my eye on for awhile. it makes me happy

[siafu]

i think understanding is the best gift i can give someone or that can be given to me. nervousness pals show a lot of understanding.

this is another bad allergy day. i wonder wtf is in the air.

i just ate a bag of mnms.

[OHPossum]

i try to be understanding, but mostly I admit I am pretty self absorbed

have i mentioned my head cold yet (hee hee)

i have to mail teresa her tea today, and also a finding nemo coloring book for my mom to give to her godchild. i have lots more to mail, but it isn't going to happen today.

[siafu]

i think I'm more self-absorbed than you, OP. :lol: just kiddin. we can be the same.

i'm looking forward to my tea.

i have to work tomorrow.

[tanagee]

I. I am eating deviled eggs left over from Easter. Watch out...http://nervousness.org/forums/style_images/1/icon8.gif don't breathe.

II. When I worked we had 2 kick ass mail people who always delivered and picked up our mail around lunch, the subs were always late and I once had to point out the outgoing mail tray to a sub (which was on the corner of my desk and said 'outgoing mail' on it). After one gave me someone's bundled outgoing mail, I stopped giving them important outgoing mail for fear that they would lose it or give it to someone else.

III. Last night, across the table at dinner, my hubby asked me "are you doing something different to your hair?" I said "yeah, I got it cut like 3 weeks ago" to which he replied "yeah, I knew that. It's just looking really greasy lately." (Gee thanks!)

bonus: I have to admit that it is looking dirtier because my roots are dark and longer than I usually let them grow out before getting it highlighted. I am trying to decide whether to do highlights as usual or just dye it to close to my natural color.

:o i gasped when i read that!

[1] i ran out of adhesive for my sticker machine today - the closest place to buy it is about 40 miles away

[2] i won a contest in grade school for an essay i wrote on the constitution. i don't remember what i won.

[3] i dropped a very hot cup of c.offee on the kitchen floor this morning and the mug shattered....scalding and scratching my foot.

[nymphette]

1: hugs to theresa for allergies...

2: hugs to possum for cranky weather...

3: hugs to tana for hearing something bad from her hubby!!! blah on men!!!

3.5: hugs to adrienne for her owie c0ffee accident!!!

[nymphette]

1: kittymao, i think i WILL complain... otherwise i'll end up with theis mailman forever and things will always be left up in the air, as to what's made it or not, who's gotten my mail (we get mail for people who aren't even from copper sands, but are from white city, and aren't even a close address!!! like 56 emerald park drive!!!) i would think it's a LITTLE difficult to mix those two up...... <_<

2: sarahkate- i liked the tan ones.. and smarties used to have tan ones too.... and all of a sudden (okay, maybe it was like years between the time i had the tan ones and then when they were gone- i dont' usually buy smarties... ;)) they were gone!!! and yes, replaced by blue.... blech....

3: i dont' eat the dark brown, blue, or red ones- i can taste all the food coloring in them and it grosses me out!!! the tan, yellow, orange, pink and light green ones are fine though....

4: mmmmmm.... chocolate...............

[Cuilanië]

- Eep! I almost didn't recognise sarahkate in her new avatar... kinda cute, though. :)

Woo hoo-congratulations! I'm impressed.

I have THREE travelling LMAO's in my possession at once and it is making me nervous. One is ready to go but no one will answer their q's to tell me if they are ready. The other ones i just got. Still, I don't like all those heads on my page!

I was very very good today. I went to a yarn store that was having 15% off the enire stock and didn't buy a thing.

I went to a sad funeral today and I am sick of funerals and hope I don't have to go to any more for a long long time. :'(

[nymphette]

1: hugs to gwensmom.... funerals are always sad and depressing- play chain games and maybe it'll perk you up for a bit... :)

2: does SK have a new avatar??? i see her old one still.... it's been changing size though, getting littler and skinnier, and back to normal.... what's warong with my computer???!!?? :o

- Hugs for gwensmom... Funerals always make me cry.

- I'd like to have a bag of m&m's, but since I didn't go to the grocery store after all, I've had no opportunity to stock up... :( :P

[Cuilanië]

- I finished my tic-tacs.

- I should stop eating so much sugar, the doctor will be angry with me...

- I should go to bed.

[Cuilanië]

- What I 'should' do and what I want to do are vastly different things.

- If I had my way, these days I would never sleep.

- I still need to clear my desk, or I'll never get any art done.

[freckledcutie]

Here's my after work "To Do" list:
work on Pat's circle journal, work on MC's circle journal, vacuum house, clean kitchen, clean living room, go to bank (money for orthodontist and daughter's passport), complete passport application, get passport photo, write stargal a letter, start "floral" theme dominoes

So far, I have completed the vacuuming, cleaning kitchen, cleaning living room

Kendra is just out of the shower and is getting ready to go have her pic made and then we will leave and do the pic and the bank...I'm signing off now to complete the application and when I return home, I will work on the 2 circle journals in my possession


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cuilanië]

- My keyboard is lying on top of a heap of papers, making it slightly unstable.

- This post puts me past D_o_A on the top ten posters list.

[Cuilanië]

- freckedcutie sounds a little frazzled... you should consider the benefits of a hot bath after all that!

- Former boss called Friday. She wanted me to come work on her bids this weekend, offering to pay me in cash. I said no, not on the weekend. Some nerve she has.

- I'd like to find myself a good book in French to read. It's been a long time since I've read something new in French. My shelves are stuffed, but I no longer know what's in there...

I really want to participate in more art projects, but I'm so insecure!!!

I see all you guys doing such wonderful things, and I'm terribly intimidated!

I suck. :(

[zanna]

i've just tryed to dye my hair and i think that for the first time i've really messed it up.

i'm afraid to go wash it out because i don't want to see how terrible i've made it.

no, i suck. :(

[siafu]

Lilac doesn't suck. It sounds like the equivalent of artistic shyness. Put a litttle toe in the big water if you feel like it.

Zanna doesn't suck either. Hang in with your hair.

I wrote thank you notes and paid bills today.

it's getting time to go face the music.

i'm just stalling with wasting time on here.

i'll give myself 10 more minutes, maybe a miracle will happen in that time.

*giving Zanna a big hug and hoping her miracle happened*

[zanna]

eh, i guess it wasn't that bad

i'll probably go buy the store and buy some more stuff tomorrow to try to fix it just right, but if i had to describe it, it would be called burnt marshmellow. haha.

*hugs back to lilac* :)

[nymphette]

1: my brother and i used to be very close but we arent' now and i have nothing in common with him, other than a mother....

2: i just talked to him on the phone, my mom is visiting him and his family, and when we said goodbye, it was like the end of a telemarketing phone call....

3: i don't understand his religious fervor and hippocrisy and it makes me sad....

[nymphette]

1: my brother recently, on another forum's discussion board, put out a challenge that he could, with the power of prayer and god on his side, get anyone healed if you just tell him who and what.... and that he would leave the forums if he failed, because he believes in god so much... "I ISSUE A CHALLENGE HERE TO ANYONE WHO IS SICK TO SHARE YOUR SICKNESS WITH ME, AND AT OUR YOUTH CHURCH, WE WILL HAVE ALL OF OUR YOUTH PRAY TOGETHER AND AGREE FOR GOD TO HEAL YOU. IF GOD DOES NOT HEAL YOU, THEN I AM A LIAR, AND GOD IS NOT WHO I SAID HE IS, AND I WILL WALK AWAY FROM *these forums* NEVER TO RETURN AGAIN. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE HEALED BY THE POWER OF GOD, THEN I WILL CHALLENGE YOU TO GIVE GLORY TO THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY FOR YOUR HEALING, AND GIVE YOUR LIFE TO HIM!


2: needless to say, several people set him to a challenge... and the one man's son, who has aspberger's, was the same after the healing prayer....

3: my brohter said it was his fault that the healing didn't take place, not god's.... "Please don't blame God or get angry at him - put the blame on me. Call it presumption on my part, lack of faith, whatever, but please don't blame God. "

if he would have been healed, or any of the other's who he prayed for it would have been HALLELUJAH!!!!!! PRAISE GOD BECUASE HE IS HTE ALMIGHTY HEALER AND PROTECTOR!!!!!!

sigh

[zanna]

oh that's a funny story about your brother nymphette

i can understand why you aren't very close [at least from my perspective]

if i had a brother like that, i'm not sure what i would do

[nymphette]

1: he also said that the way to get your prayers answered is:
"1. Ask in the name of Jesus
2. Believe that you will receive
3. Continue asking (persevering in prayer) until you receive
4. Walk in forgiveness & holiness
5. Fast (for difficult situations) "

meaning that if your prayers arent' answered, it is YOUR fault becuase you didn't believe, or after seven years of praying every night for your son's autism to be healed and you gave up and stopped, that you should have prayed every night for seven years and a day because you didn't continue until you recieved, and that OBVIOUSLY, it is all OUR fault that we have problems.....

2: he also told my sister that *I* told him that even harrison's doctor's said that he was a miracle... and he hadded that god healed him and saved his life....

3: i told her to tell him that the doctors said he was a miracle, yes, but being scientists, and not theologists, that they meant a MEDICAL MIRACLE, and not a divine one..... him being properly diagnosed and treated by his DOCTOR saved his life, not the praying that they all did for him for hte first month of his life when he was sick and comatose and near death..... if prayer worked, he would have snapped out of it.... and not continued languishing until he got the proper medication and treatments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4: and i am pissed off right now, sorry... should put this int he rant section i guess.... there was just this condescending tone in his voice when i talked to him tonight that set me off about it all.... i dont' give god credit for harrison living... i give his doctor full credit for that.... and that he's stayed so healthy??? well, his momma is somewhat knowlegable about his disorder now (knowing more about it than any doctor in this province... i should get some kind of honorary metabolic doctorate i think.... anyone with a child with special needs, or any kind of illness, IS a specialist!!!!!!!) and very vigilant about his reactions and symptoms and any signs of impending hyperammonemia, and takes real good care of him.... without asking god for help... he's a little too busy healing the REAL CHRISTIANS to pay attention to us with shaken faith....

1: we used to be very close, that is what bothers me...

3: when he found god, he 'became' happy....


and i didnt' even know He was lost........... :ph34r:

[tanagee]

You're telling me no one has been here since I last left?

Where are my peeps? (not the marshmallows)

Sleepy ty-ty nite nite

[Cuilanië]

- The guilt-tripping is one of the things I hate most about my Catholic upbringing, and it's damn hard to get rid of.

- The hypocrisy is what finally got my eyes open and made me turn away from the Church...

- I've always found the idea of God hard to reconcile with my scientific education, and the way they present things as 'mysteries' and 'dogma' just makes me want to howl. PUH-LEEZ!!!

[Cuilanië]

- OK, that was my religious rant-of-the-season...

- I should get back to job-hunting.

- It's cold in here. It's probably colder outside, and humid to boot.

[Cuilanië]

- I don't bear grudges.

- I hear the sound of airplane propellers outside...

- I'm hungry.

[OHPossum]

1) I kind of like not having all of the answers

2)Nymphette's brother sounds, um, annoying.

3) My brother and I used to be very close too when we were really little, but now we are so different in every way that sometimes it just feels fake even though he is a great brother. he calls a lot and supports me, but we don;t really "share" ugh, i hate that word like I do with other people in my family.

[Lilac]

Okay...well it's almost 9:30 AM and I've got to go to out on site for awhile. Don't know when I'll be back.

I hate going on site on days like today. It's rainy, cold and yucky.

I think I'll stop for Middle Eastern food for lunch! Yummy!

[gwensmom]

Maybe I should get Robyn's brother to "heal" Gwen.

After 7 1/2 years, a few people are still praying for "a miracle" for her.

The thing is, Gwen is brain damaged but fine otherwise. It's Gwensdad and I that need the miracles!

2: does SK have a new avatar??? i see her old one still.... it's been changing size though, getting littler and skinnier, and back to normal.... what's warong with my computer???!!?? :o
- I just checked... she does indeed have a new avatar, after playing with the size of the old one for a while. Try reloading the page. :)
[/b][/quote]
1. When you see my avatar it SHOULD look like zzeezz the bedbug (http://www.parasitepals.com/zzeezz.html).

2. That is very odd that Nymphette is still seeing my old avatar. I changed it on Monday, I think. And I didn't even change the size or colors of my old avatar at all before changing my new one. Strange. Maybe after the next time you restart your computer you will be able to see the new one? :unsure:

3. I put the finishing touches on my finger puppets last night. They are ugly, but cute little bunnies. :P I will have to remember to scan pics of them tonight before I mail them out.

[Lilac]

I'm adding Gwen, Gwensmom and Gwendad to my prayers, too. :hug:

I ended up NOT having to go out on site after all. We're going to wait to see if the rain clears up and go out later this afternoon.

That means I have to sit in this office and ... what... look over calculations.... argue with GS about the wetland designation of theStutgaart project... yeay.

[gwensmom]

:wub: Thanks Lilac.

Sarahkate your avatar has been changing around on me too. It got really skinny and then it was a blue bug and today it is the old pic in regular size again.

I am delivering Meals on Wheels again today. It is a crime to see the conditions in which some of our seniors must live. I will not have anyone to take care of me when I am old.

[Dalmaney]

1. Rants against overzealous Christians/the Church make me tired because I want to say things... but know that nothing I can say can change people's personal experiences.

2. I would say _I'm_ not a hypocrite, but I'm alive, so I'd be lying.

3. I know that everything is not _actually_ about me... but sometimes I like to pretend it is for a minute.

1. Hmmm.... strange. Very strange. I just deleted my avatar & and then added it again so maybe that will solve the problem?

2. Brrrr... it's freezing in here today. Cold air is blowing out of the vents right onto me. My hair is still wet from my shower this morning so that is making me extra cold.

3. :( Maybe we should start up a Nervousness retirement community to ensure that all of our wonderful N'ness people are very well taken care of when they get old.

[Lilac]

I just read back to Nymphette's posting about her brother. Wow! *shaking head* No wonder Nymphette isn't close! My Grandmother is a little like that. A LITTLE! Not so much a zealot, but more a dooms sayer. She's always saying I'm going to Hell for this and going to Hell for that. This has been going on since my childhood! I think this is one of the reasons I'm not too happy about attending church (although I do...mostly out of guilt, I think.) I really want to believe that there is a "Higher Power" out there...it's hard sometimes, though.

Last Sunday morning, the preacher was preaching about how Christ was risen from the tomb after his crusifixion...about how Mary Magdelen and virgin Mary had gone to the tomb to annoint the body with oil only to find the tomb empty and Jesus's clothes folded and laying on the slab. He raised his hands and shouted out "There's the proof - Jesus was risen!!!" This was the first time ever that I thought to myself "well...what if somebody just stole the body...how does folded clothing prove that Jesus was resurrected?" And then i felt guilty for even thinking that. I felt that God would "strike me down" or do something to punish me for having such blasphemous thoughts!

Maybe I just need a new church. I don't know.

[freckledcutie]

I accomplished almost everything on my to do list last night

The 3 things I didn't complete were stargal's letter and the 2 cj's

I did start working on both of the cj's, though, but Kendra wanted to chat and I needed to scan and print some photos onto transparencies and make some definition transparencies, and Kendra really wanted to stay on the computer so I went into the living room and watched Notting Hill

Tonight, I may not let her have the computer until I do what I want to do

[freckledcutie]

My brain feels fried due to a defiant student this morning during first period that required all of my attention to keep him even partly on the right track

Now, my 2nd period is doing make up work because I can't think straight

I haven't had a day like this with a student that caused this much stress in a very long time

[zanna]

i'm eating some maruchan instant lunch noodles.

i've got to go to my government class in about 10 minutes.

i really don't want to because i heard we have an essay test which i have no idea what it's over.

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- I am not a snail.

-2- I am not a propeller.

-3- I am not Keith Richards. (Sorry, chunkymonkey.)

[sarahkate]

1. I'm a snail. Or so I have been told. -_-

2. A couple of nights ago I started reading The Sky is Falling by Sidney Sheldon. I bought a used copy of it online a couple of years ago and I just finally got around to reading it. I don't know if it's really my type of book, but I will keep reading it anyway.

3. I really should read more often. I love books.

[Dalmaney]

1. "Read for fun" is on my mental "To do in May" list.

2. I need to make my mental list an actual list so I can feel all accomplished when I cross things off.

3. I write a very scary math exam this afternoon.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am having lunch with an old friend I haven't seen in a few months.

2. I've missed him. He's a sweetie, and I can't wait to talk to him, even if we only have an hour.

3. I wonder if I can con him into helping me move...

[chunkymonkey]

3- I am not Keith Richards. (Sorry, chunkymonkey.)

I love that I come to mind when you think of keith richards.

I'm feeling drained from a long relationship conversation that lasted till 4 int he morning.

my vibrator died and I can't afford a new one for a few weeks. :blink:

[sarahkate]

1. On no - quick - someone send Veronica a RAoST! (Random Act of Sex Toy) :lol:

2. Sometimes I crack myself up.

3. I just joined Netflix. Woohoo. Movie heaven.


*edited because I'm a dorkus & I wrote ROAST instead of RAOST!! Though, ROAST does sound better.

[OHPossum]

1-I am truly worried for my friend Veronica-- no sex toy and long realtionship phone calls Is there no mercy!?

2-tonight my friend's daughters, aged 10 and 12 ager having a sleepover at our house because my friend has to deal with her sick mother in CA.

3-They said they want to "eat pizza and making trading cards." I love these kids!

[zanna]

i wish i got to spend more time with him.

i guess i'm happy with how things are.

i want to go see him right now, but since i know that's not appropriate, i'll just have to settle for the possiblity that he'll call.

[freckledcutie]

I see Tom lurking!

Hi Tom!

I'm not on the forums much anymore due to being super busy, but I'm glad that I see you here!

[freckledcutie]

1. Some weeks ago, I stopped feeling a connection with Nervousness.

2. I don't really know why.

3. In fact, the whole internet world seems to have faded into a little shadowy corner of my life.
Me too! I was just telling someone yesterday that I could almost get rid of my computer and never miss it! I'm just so busy with life and creating.

I couldn't say that a few months ago

I do a lot of shopping online, though, and don't think I could live without that

[tanagee]

I am very annoyed. NHRA said that the registration for the US Nationals in Indy would start at 5:30 ET, it is 5:47 (2:47 PT) and when I go to the site to register my hubby they say they are updating the database...Uh couldn't they have done that last night or earlier today?

If I don't get my hubby signed up for this race he is going to be very sad as it is both a special race because it is the 50th anniversary of the event, and he used to go to the event as a teenager and it has always been his dream to run there.

I have better things to do than sit here and wait!!! :angry:

[siafu]

i need a quick break.

i'm taking it here.

i'm getting better at job interviews.
:thewave:

[Cuilanië]

- My church-related comments were directed at the Roman Catholic Church as an establishment, not at specific people.

- The specific hypocrisy which turned me away in the end was the annullment of my parents' marriage. Declaring a marriage never existed after 27 years and three kids... and letting my mother remarry in Church, that shocked the hell out of me.

- I guess I'm still angry with my mother over that.

[Cuilanië]

- I'm no stranger to very scary math exams. Best of luck, Dalmaney!

- After a few days of eating almost normally, I'm back to unhealthy habits. I had too much sugar for dinner.

- I also had green tea in hopes of killing my headache, but my headache's killing me, instead.

Addition to my "I should" list: I should kick that caffeine addiction. But I like c0ffee and tea too much.

[Cuilanië]

- I'm glad for Theresa's improving interview skills!

- I need to dust off my own...

- 9000 kilometers is almost a quarter of the circumference of Earth.

[siafu]

i had another interview today at a state court. it is a .75 time job but it would leave me somewhat free.

my morning was crappy. i'm writing about it in my livejournal (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sotoalboroto/) which i am now happy to be playing with.

i'm all listless. but i did just apply for another state court job.

[Dalmaney]

1. I have survived my math exam. I walked out with 45 minutes to go because whatever time it was, I was finished with that class.

2. I should finish my stupid paper that's due tomorrow. I can't waste tonight until I'm done it.

3. So if I'm smart, I'll finish it early and then I can find people later to distract me... hmmm... friend in town that wants to meet the Boy... could possible arrange that... mumble mumble... *wanders off mumbling incoherently*...

[tanagee]

Finally got through to the registration site at 3. My hubby is a happy person

I was going to borrow my mom's sewing machine to do the Creepy Cute fundraiser, but I decided to I am going to do 'double duty' instead and go to my grandma's to use hers and take Megan to spend time with her while I'm there. (good girl)

I am aprehensive about making a stuffed toy, but I can't really screw it up if it is supposed to be kinda ugly can I?

[zanna]

i just got back from my soccer game.

we won 2-1 against a rival highschool in our town.

i scored the second goal and now we're most definatley assured a spot in the state play-offs! yeah for me! yeah for my team!

[medeous]

i've set a goal for myself.
the reward if i reach my goal will be wonderful and scary.
i cannot be specific lest i jinx myself.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 my cat was just sitting on the desk, in front of me, in front of the keyboard/screen.

2 i went to type this post and he went to bite me. (failed)

3 i told him off and he jumped down.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i got my coat! it's as purdy as it was when i bought it (recall i had the sleeves shortened).

2 now the cat's on the floor waiting for me to go to bed.

3 tomorrow i must do the usual thursday bathroom cleaning job, and rake the lawn (remove dead grass), and go knocking on doors for Climb sponsorships.

[Dalmaney]

1. Time to write paper. Two pages or so to go.

2. Just passing through to allow time for my brain to reboot and agree to do it's share of the work.

3. I made a deal with my brain that if I flooded it with endorphins for an hour it would finish paper tonight. It got what I promised. Time to deliver on the writing, brain.

[Lilac]

I just love Gwensmom...and she knows why! :wub:

I bought a big, sturdy walnut dining set today. God...the way I've been spending money lately, you'd have thought I'd won the lottery. (which I didnt.)

I need to do some major home repairs...maybe I should just buy a new house!!!!!

[hammerquill]

1. I see we passed 200,000 posts on the forum a day or two ago.

2. I just had a nasty computer crash - sounded like the hard drive dying. But eventually I got it started up again and it seems okay... <whew>

3. Today I finally put up a page displaying the few candlesticks we still make at the studio; actually, one of them was out of production for years, but was requested again by one of our favorite shops.

[medeous]

i love felt.
my trash was not picked up friday OR tuesday...i'm sure i've paid my bill.
i don't quite have enough sick days to take every remaining monday off, but i might try anyway.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am done the rough draft of my paper. I estimated two hours writing time and one hour editing.

2. It took a hour and forty-five minutes to write the last bit and interject enough stuff to pretend I had enough sources.

3. I still need to edit... I think I'll call Leah and see how she's doing with hers.

[Sirius]

- Sometimes I wish I had some of Rustell's organisational skills.

Sometimes I wished I'd actually use all my organizational skills.

Then other days, I look at the color-coded spreadsheet I made for Word Bingo, or the checksheets for the ATC LMAOs (complete with colored highlighters, and envelopes I am addressing as people sign up) and wonder when I should start therapy.

Sometimes I look at organization as planned slacking, for a sick example, when putting the dishes in the dishwasher, there are four compartments for silverware....why NOT put all the forks in one, spoons in one, knives in one...some people would say that is anal-retentive -- I say it makes it easier for me to take things out and put away, which I don't enjoy doing...

[medeous]

work seriously cuts into my free time.
i skipped out on a meeting today because the sun was shining.
i bought some nighttime tooth whitening stuff but i've only used it once because the peroxide-y taste made me gag and my mouth felt all foamy.

[Dalmaney]

1. It is 11:20 pm, I have worked for almost two and a half hours, but I am pretty much done.

2. I'll reread it tomorrow morning and then print it off :crossed: if I have ink.

3. If anyone cares to hear more than you ever wanted to hear about racism in America from a little white Canadian, have I got the paper for you.

[siafu]

i am proud of myself because i put the silverware in the dishwasher like rustell does.

my hip feels like a piece of crap from the crap factory.

i need to go make cornbread.

I do that AND it was in a list of "helpful hints" in a magazine.

I am listening to the 10 o'clock news on Fox and they had two stories in a row where someone has driven a car into someones house, and just the other night TWO cars drove into a lady's house. WTF? It's not like the house pulls out in front of you...

I still haven't done my taxes and I have no idea if our CPA has filed our extention :unsure:

[Larrissa]

1. i dont have time to read all the new posts. this sucks. the man has a video game he has to play post haste. i was gone all day with the motherinlaw, her husband is divorcing her, ouch. she cant drive because shes so morphined up, or shouldnt be driving anyway. i spent six hours when i got home getting everything ready for the big P.O. day tommorrow. i took on too much but will not give out!

2. i told a loud lady on a cellphone to take it into the hallway. nearly gave me a heart attack, she went in the hall and sat on the floor and pouted like a young bratty child. oh people sometimes.

3. telling you folks about these things somehow makes me feel better. i hope no one hates me.

[nymphette]

1: anniversary, uneventful. just as i planned... or not planned as the case may be....

2: i have to go out on saturday night to some radio station contest party and i think one night out a week (hm.. this year i should say) is enough.... so i wanted to just come home and relax tonight...

3: we watched matchstick men.... it was pretty good..... nic cage all tic-y and obsessive compulsive..... :P

[nymphette]

1: where's cindi1023 been lately??? i miss her on the forums!!!

2: nobody's playing tonight.... must be too late.... :P

3: i should be in bed anyhow... i know harrison's going to be up soon... <sigh> one game of mahjong before i go.... ;)

[hammerquill]

1. I just found out the great Alloy Orchestra is going to be accompanying the silent films The General and Dans La Nuit next week in SF. Way cool.

2. The forum just told me I had "-1 new messages" ... :huh:

3. I just found out about The Owl Cam (http://www.theowlcam.com/). I love owls...

4. I should be asleep. I may be coming down with a cold.

[Cuilanië]

- I've been up for over an hour and have had neither breakfast nor even c0ffee yet.

- I've been feeding another addiction. ;) :D

- I should make c0ffee before the big bad withdrawal headache sets in...

[Cuilanië]

- If I let the headache get me, it's going to last all day.

- I want this week to end.

- I haven't checked the mail yet either.

[OHPossum]

last night we had a sleepover here with our friend's two daughters.

it was fun

i am exhausted, the house is a disaster and I am in awe of mothers

[OHPossum]

it annoys me to NO END when I have a lot to say and this board flood controls me.

laundry, dinner, homework supervision, breakfast, lunchboxes, beds made, trips to gymnastics, violin lessons and dance team

that is all one random fact about motherhood

[Serenity]

I should be studying spanish right now

I'm in the Queen E II library on campus

I'm going home in 8 days!!

[Lilac]

I love Serenity's tiny little finger monkey avatar!

I'm wearing my glasses today and they are giving me a wicked headache!

I'm supposed to do something today, but I can't remember what it is......

[adrienne]

the only time i wear socks is when i have shoes on. as soon as the shoes come off, so do the socks.

i took piano lessons for 8 years. i sat down at the piano on easter, after not touching it for about 5, and couldn't remember a thing.

i haven't seen or heard from my sister in 7 months. i worry about her and have wake-up-crying-nightmares about her constantly.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 poor mummy has a cold

2 chores, yard work during the nicest bit of the weather today, bumming around indoors this afternoon, door to door this evening

3 the mail was fairly boring yesterday, except i did get one nice postcard, from someone on postcardx - the picture was a diamondback rattlesnake. v cool.

[zanna]

for our soccer win yesterday night the school provided all the players with a free chicken biscuit at break today.

i'm a vegetarian.

so of course, i didn't enjoy our treat.

I rented that recently...I'll have to say that the end took me by total surprise....although, my mom says she figured it out from the beginning. Hmmm...and I thought, Wow, I haven't had a twister in a long time that I didn't see coming.

[Lilac]

I've been having fun playing with Zanna this morning...but I have to go now. Off to the construction site!

It's beautiful outside, yeay!

I love it when I know I have to go out on site because I get to wear jeans to the office! Wooo-Hoooo!

1. I miss her too! I few days ago I sent her a Q on the main page about an LMAO of her's that I was a part of & I mentioned that I missed her. She said that she has been very busy lately trying to catch up on stuff and I think she mentioned in a Q&A to someone else that she doesn't have internet access at home. So, she hasn't really had time to play on the forums but she hopes she will be able to come back soon.

2. I just ate a crap-load of Jelly Belly jelly beans. Ugh. My tummy hurts. :(

3. One of my coworkers told me this morning that I have to go over to the security building to get a new security badge because ours expired. I don't want to walk over there all alone, but I will probably have to.

[nymphette]

1: possum- exhausting, but exhilerating!!!! you'll love it when it's your turn, it's so much more fun when they're YOURS!!! :D

2: freckled- i thought i had it figured out, but i only had part figured out, and it took me by surprise too!!! :)

3: SK- a jelly belly ache is always worth it!!! especially if you get the honey graham cracker ones..... mmmmmmmmmmmm

[nymphette]

1: i just left more negative feedback.... :( i hate it but.... when you have been wiating since december (or OCTOBER!!) for a return, and have been told you will get it, or worse, had NO communication, then it is time to give it out i guess....

2: even if the member has a zillion positives.... :(

3: <sigh>

[thunderstorm_19]

1 animals dig exactly where you don't want them to

2 like the carrot patch

3 i received earth day brochures i'd asked for today

[thunderstorm_19]

1 double posted!

2 edited!

3 this one's boring!

[Dalmaney]

1. My lip is split again, despite my compulsive use of Blistex.

2. Last time my lip split and people asked my why, I said my imaginary boyfriend beat me. Probably not appropriate humor, even then.

3. Less appropriate now... being as imaginary boyfriend isn't imaginary anymore. Must come up with new snappy comeback for stupid question...

[Dalmaney]

1. My paper, for better or worse, it printed.

2. I have my hair in twin french braids again. I've been having weird hair compulsions lately.

3. I really need to get moving... lazy... so lazy.

[OHPossum]

i am so tired i want to sleep right here

but it's a happy cozy tired, I love those girls

today was Hawaii day at their school (wishful thinking in wisconsin!) and I made them special hawaiian lunches, including pineapple, coconut, and I made them hibiscus cars and thew in hibiscus napkins. kathryn thinks i'm nuts but she complained that I didn't put hibiscuses in her lunch bag!

1. I have never seen a graham cracker JB! Weird. Though, the package I have does have a few flavors that I have never seen before, like caramel popcorn! Yum! And french vanilla, which is a little bit too sweet.

2. My sinuses are killing me today. I would take some medicine but it would probably make me pass out.

3. I am having more problems than I planned for putting together a slam LMAO that I started. I have never made my own slam, though I have seen a couple of them. I guess I'm just trying to make mine look not so boring, and that's not as easy as I had expected. So, I'm going to work on it some more tonight & hopefully it will finally be ready to mail out by this weekend.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i'm going camping in june, with my sis, mom and sis' BF... :) :) :):) :):):)

2 yes i am excited about that

3 back to my stuff to do!

[OHPossum]

1-I hope sarahkate dosen't get the sinus infection we had going around our office!
2-Lupe our mailman at work brought fresh homemade tamales to sell at lunch time.
3-I just finished my 6th one. I am not kidding. I do disgust myself.

[siafu]

a yes to tamales is a good yes :)

i made some last christmas. you wanna see?

today is a deathmetal day.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am officially taking today off from studying.

2. I went and handed in my essay, then ended up sitting in the park for a while working on Sirius' Top 10 Slam.

3. I think I will make something deliciously chocolatey for dessert tonight. It's cake with built-in chocolate sauce and is the yummiest thing ever.

[sarahkate]

1. Hey! Where is Curlita? She hasn't posted since April 10th! I hope she is ok! :unsure:

2. I went to the security office with a coworker. She was lazy and wanted to drive even though we were only going to the next building which is probably 1/10th of a mile. Oy! What a lazy bum she is. And the guy at the security office who gave us our new id badges was rude. <_<

3. Almost time to go home. Whoopie. I get to pig out on broccoli & cheese perogies with butter for dinner and I don't have to share because Cory is away for work again.

[sarahkate]

1. I hope not either. I didn't even know sinus infections were contagious! Eeek.

2. What exactly are tamales anyway? Peppers right?

3. Hmm....fact #3. Oh yeah, I thought of something. A 30 year old local cop was killed on Sunday when he slammed his police car into a telephone pole on Broadway. I take B'way to work everyday and I have to pass the telephone pole. Each time I pass it (at least twice per day) there are more things attached to the pole (letters, teddy bears, flags, crosses, bows, ect.) Sad stuff :(

TAMALES

http://primates.ximian.com/~federico/news-photos/2003-04-29-8033-salt-tamales.jpg

these are like the ones i made. but i usually use tin foil instead of leaves. i think the leaves are kind of an acquired taste.

this is the other kind i know as mexican.

when i made them, my pops told me to use the whole bag of dough. it made like a billion of them.

[OHPossum]

1 Si!
Los tamales que comi hace un ratito se parecio a los tamales en el foto arriba. La pasta era de mais, y la hoja es "el corn husk." Este mantiene el moisture adentro.

2. I was latina in a former life.

3. A latina cowgirl riding the range en Argentina o en mi canoa en los rios de Mexico.

I was wondering this myself. Hope everything is okay with the bean.

I was using an ancient x-acto blade to cut out words for meika's junk words LMAO and it was sucking...I changed the blade...wow, 'dem tings cut guud wen yoo use a fresh blade. DUH!!

I called Frito-Lay to complain about a stale bag of Cool Ranch Doritos I bought on Friday and I NEVER do stuff like that.

I :wub: tamales. When I went to Ensenada in '84 there was this little shack down the road that sold the best tamales. They had some that were just sweet corn masa and were sooo good with some sugar and cinnamon on them for breakfast.

[tanagee]

:yay: :yay: Megan went pee-pee in her potty :yay: :yay:
:thewave:

When I got on the computer earlier and had 10 e-mails and was pleasantly surprised. But they were from Amazon.com telling me my marketplace listings have all expired. What a downer.

I have had a bagel in my toaster all morning.

[Sirius]

1. hey look it's medeous

2. i'm forgetting something

3. hm...arrrr...mmmm

[medeous]

hey, it's me.

i'm now a fact.

i'm wearing pants that fit today because people complained about yesterday's clown pants.

[Sirius]

wonder what it was medeous didn't want to share

still wondering about what i am forgetting


oh...crap...i needed to renew my library books....

[thunderstorm_19]

1 a stupid sales call just woke me from a nice little nap

2 apparently, i'm tired

3 gully is out, hasn't come in wanting dinner yet (probably caught his own, knowing that cat. naughty kitty)

[medeous]

i feel like shopping.

if i take nan, she'll want to shop at teenybopper stores and complain anytime we're in a store that sells things that fit people who've actually eaten before.

if i don't go, it's clown pants again tomorrow.

[zanna]

i just got a package of cd's in the mail today from a trade.

it included the chicago soundtrack.

i realize how much i absolutley love the movie's soundtrack ..it's so amazing!

1. I'm here! I'm okay! I've ben taking a hiatus from the on-line world. There seems to be so much going on at work and at home that I haven't had time to spend QT with my n-ness peeps (the flesh and blood variety, not the marshmallow and sugar variety).

2. The Bean is fine. Still enjoying those Reubens.

3. Now I'm torn between reading through all the random facts I've missed and continuing to be a productive little worker bee...

[siafu]

woohoo Curlita!

i was about to write you an email saying hi hi and hello :D

glad you're fine.

[Cuilanië]

:wave:

- I worked four and a half hours tonight, which means I was gone from home for over six hours.

- I came back incredibly hungry. All that brain work.

- I still need to clear my desk.

[Cuilanië]

- The tamales picture made me even hungrier... Those things look good. :)

- Wonder how stargal's doing? she hasn't been around in a while...

- I wonder if bluecrayon will come back with a smile...


Sigh.

[Cuilanië]

- I speak two languages fluently.

- I need to improve my German to the point where I can actually communicate in that language.

- Now that I have the time for it though, my not having a job mean that I can't afford it.

[Cuilanië]

- The four hours tonight don't count, because that was a one-shot thing.

- I might have to go back on Saturday.

- I still haven't gone to the grocery store, and now I'm running out of cereal on top of having no milk.

[Curlita]

1. It makes me happy that people missed me. It also makes me feel sorta guilty for not letting you know where I was.

2. I just read through about 10 pages of TRFs. Whew. I think I am caught up now.

3. Tomorrow is J's birthday. We're finally cashing in our Christmas Aveda spa certificates and going to get massages. Whoo hoo!

[Cuilanië]

- I've been eating breakfast every day, as if I was on a permanent weekend mode.

- I manage without milk by eating my cereal with yogurt and taking half a piece of sugar in my c0ffee.

- I'm reduced to pasta again, unless I break out the emergency chili con carne...

[Cuilanië]

- Massages... sigh.

- I don't want to eat chili con carne at one in the morning...

- Pasta it is.

[Cuilanië]

- Seventh 3RF post in a row... :blink:

- If I don't eat, I'll be faint with hunger tomorrow morning.

- If I eat, it means I'll be going to bed really late.

[Cuilanië]

- Today, I could almost believe it's spring.

- It's been a balmy day.

- The trees are flowering at last... :)

[Cuilanië]

- I have ideas for LMAOs, but I need to catch up first...

- I want to join some LMAOs, but I need to catch up first...

- Big mailing day planned. Good thing I've got lots of stamps on hand.

[Cuilanië]

- I've visited the objects page for the first time in, oh, ages.

- I'm intensely looking forward to September for more than one reason...

- I'm almost convinced I want to let my hair grow. I've said that many times before.


<off to make pasta...>

[OHPossum]

1-everytime i go to the TRF thread and read, "a new and better experiment, " I ask myself, better than what?

2- nice to have Curlita back.

3-did curlita used to have horns or a viking helmet in her old avatar or am I nuts, wait, don;t answer the 2nd Q, it was rhetorical.

[siafu]

i have this piece of meat i need to cook, but i don't know what it is. it's not a roast. it's like a fat steak.

i wrote a story for an LMAO. it turned out to be ten pages. zoinks.

the cat wants something. probably canned food.

[Dalmaney]

1. I think 3RF came after a bit of tension and such in the forums... it was a light, happy alternative to the seriousness and fighting and whatnot.

2. That was a long time ago... I could be making stuff up.

3. I feel really disconnected from myself right now. Sort of... disengaged from my life and my body and my thoughts.

[OHPossum]

1-dalmaney should call Le Garcon and maybe he can help her mind body connection problem

2-I am obsessed with language and comtemplating using only spanish or only french for a whole day on Nness

3-if I annoy people too much, let them eat gateau.

[thunderstorm_19]

people complained about your pants? that's not very nice...

1 so. sleepy.

2 fundraising has begun!

3 $45 in 3 houses isn't such a bad start!

[Dalmaney]

1. I will see the Boy in a group setting in a couple hours.

2. I ran into him in Superstore a bit ago... but we both had places to be, so it was but a brief moment.

3. I tend to act a bit weird, I think, when I see people where I don't expect to see them. I hope I didn't freak him out with my sorta spaciness...

[OHPossum]

1- when I said only spanish of french I meant my version of both. no es muy bonito. ce n'est pas trop jolie.

2-dalmaney, I bet you seemed mysterious to him

3-why the hell am I fantasizing for Dalmanye?

[Dalmaney]

1. I don't need much help fantasizing lately...

2. I took out my french braids, so now I have sexy curly hair instead.

3. I used to make my hair curly like this in like junior high... man, this takes me back.

- One Viking helmet in Curlita's old avatar, yes...

- But you're nuts. ;) :P :ph34r: <ducks>

- 'Le Garçon' sounds like you're talking about the waiter... :lol:

[Dalmaney]

1. "Le Garcon" has been known to bring me food, sometimes.

2. I think the last thing he made me was the spice-ghetti.

3. I just spilled coffee on my computer table... some got on my keyboard... I hope the caffiene helps with my coordination.

[Cuilanië]

- When I had long hair, braiding it was my favourite way of making it behave.

- Eating pasta.

- I like pasta.

[Dalmaney]

1. I hate this icon: coffee. I forget to sub the 0 for the o though, and there it is.

2. I made steak and pototoes for supper, and my dinner date will be here in a couple minutes.

3. The date is not the Boy, but an old girl friend from back home.

[Cuilanië]

- No c0ffee for me at this late hour...

- I don't need it. I'm wide awake.

- Oy! I think I'm spinning into a loop...

[OHPossum]

1-trying to remember high school francais and a good translation of the spirit of D's use of The Boy

2-Le mec?

3-Le type?

4-Le sexmachine? :rolleyes:

[zanna]

i'm trying to fix my hair from what happened to it night before last.

i ran out of dye the other evening so for two days i had to go around looking kind of scary.

but i've got the dye on it now, and i'm just waiting for 30 more minutes to pass so i can go wash it out and hopefully it shall look a lot better.

[Cuilanië]

- I wish I had a dinner date.

- Paris was a very nice place to be today...

- I'm unwilling for today to end, but the weekend can come anytime, now...

[Dalmaney]

1. The steak is elk steak.

2. I like wild meat.

3. I think it's better than regular meat, because it's hormone-free and drug-free, and more importantly for me... just plain free.

[Dalmaney]

1. I'm not sure how to translate "the Boy" into anything else... but not quite "Le Sexmachine" :blush:

2. I get confused sometimes because my mom calls my little brother "the boy".

3. It really is a term of endearment...

[OHPossum]

1-El Nino
2-el Chico
3-el Amoroso

[Cuilanië]

- Rooting for zanna's hair (yes, that was intentional. shoot me.)

- I have no idea where this sudden burst of ridiculous cheeriness comes from...

- Hm. A common French (from France) term to translate 'the Boy' would be 'mon Jules', but that's kind of... I don't know. Not quite it yet. 'Mon mec' is closer but very familiar, 'le type' means something more like 'that bloke'...

[Dalmaney]

1. All the Spanish I know has been picked up from American tv.

2. All the French I know has been picked up from cereal boxes and classes that ended in Grade Six a long time ago.

3. Sometimes I want to learn one or the other... but not til I'm done my degree.

[Cuilanië]

- I'm coming to the conclusion that 'the Boy' really is the best term for what Dalmaney means.

- I wouldn't use it myself, though.

- Plans for tomorrow include clearing my desk, going to the Canadian embassy and the Québec delegation, and a big trip to the post office to weigh a bunch of things so I know how many stamps to stick on them.

[Cuilanië]

- Sometime I'd like to learn Spanish too, but I want to upgrade my German first.

- If I don't go to bed soon, my to-do list for tomorrow will languish undone.

- I'm not sleepy. I think I've mentioned that already.

[Cuilanië]

- Going on 20 posts tonight, and every single one on 3RF.

- I don't like the terms 'boyfriend' and 'girlfriend'.

- The French equivalents ('copain'/'copine', 'petit(e) ami(e)') are even worse.

[OHPossum]

ew, don't wanna call him a bloke

mais je veus practiquer mon francais

serrait mieux ne pas jouer avec les noms du amant de quelqu'un d'autre

holy crap, that was hard. I quit. or, I'll drink du vin, and les mots passerant plus facilement.

holy crap. no, I definitely quit

[Cuilanië]

- The most commonly used terms in Québec for boy/girlfriend are ludicrous: 'mon chum'/'ma blonde' - as if all women were blonde... :rolleyes:

- Sometimes I have a one-track mind. Anyone notice that?

- I'm leaving the dishes for tomorrow.

[siafu]

ma blonde. nice.

i'm playing with photoshop. it's hard when your mouse is crap.

i'm waiting for some tater tots.

[OHPossum]

1-obviously I do too.
2- could it be that is printemps and Mother Nature is calling us to mate?
3-could I be any more crass if I tried?

those last were q's not f's

2-I don't like rules
3-I am avoiding things I don;t want to do.

[Cuilanië]

- I'm sure if you tried... <g,d,r>

- Your word order and choice in French was pretty good.

- Oh-kay, time to knock it off. And I'm not even drinking. :lol:


*Edited for clarity

[OHPossum]

1-what's g, d, r

2-i love your new avatar siafu!

3-uh oh, eve was just encouraging, here I go autre fois, avec le francais dans la tete

[Cuilanië]

- <g,d,r> = grin, duck, run. Thanks to hammerquill for teaching me that one way back when I was a Nervous newbie... :D

- I like siafu's avatar, too.

- I haven't watched South Park in ages.

[Cuilanië]

- It's been fun, but it's getting really late...

- It's been a while since I've been this bouncy online...

- Bonne nuit, tout le monde! Gute Nacht! ¡Buenas noches! Good night!

[siafu]

heidi made that south park theresa for me. she even painted in a cane.

the funny thing is, i look pretty much like that.

here (http://southparkstudios.com/games/create.html) is where you can create your own little south park people.

[OHPossum]

i think i love heidi

i know i love south park theresa

i also know i love scooter my puppy who is having nightmares and twitching

Oh why not? We should all start calling Reed "the boy" :rofl:

Where is Nymphette?

I talked to Auntieemu on the phone tonight and will go see her tomorrow! :yay:

[sarahkate]

1. I feel out of place being on N'ness at this time of night on a Thursday. I'm usually a daytime Nervouser.

2. I'm home alone. I'm bored. I'm not so tired. But I don't feel like doing anything productive, so here I am.

3. Sometimes I feel like crying for no particular reason at all.

[siafu]

i don't want to go cook.

i don't like cooking meat.

i miss bluecrayon too.

[zanna]

i'm tired.

i'm going to skip school tomorrow.

i'm need to come up with a good excuse.

[medeous]

i am an eating machine today, which is not a good thing even though most of the stuff i've eaten has been okay: apples, oranges, salad, chicken breast...and those thin mints. they have thin in their name, they must be diet.

i got a letter from DoA today: she's moving to ohio later this month and hopes to be back online around the beginning of may

i signed a letter of intent today, but it is only binding for the school district and i do not have to honor it if they don't offer me a decent contract.

[sarahkate]

1. I wish I could skip work tomorrow, but I can't because two of my coworkers will be out.

2. I had to stay an hour late at work tonight. :(

3. My animals are acting weird tonight. The cats are chasing each other around and the dog kept grunting and whining for my attention until I let her outside. Oy!

how about El Sancho?

I am a copy cat.

I know enough spanish to order food and beer, and say dirty things.

I was a bad mom again, Megan had pretzels, cheese & crackers and a mini blueberry muffin for dinner.

[sarahkate]

1. Beer = cerveza. Right? Or something like that?

2. Holy smokes! (heehehee - that term cracks me up) ... anyway.. Holy SMOKES! It's after midnight. Must go to bed.

3. I am a little silly when I'm home alone.

Goodnight. :wave:

[Larrissa]

you know, i really did clean up for the nnesser visit, but that was when i thought she was coming on monday, and since then the messes have travelled back all over the place. like chick said, just suck it in, it dont matter

paint effects bible yippee!!

post office took all my money, bastards

[tanagee]

I feel like a poseur copying siafu...

Mi verga es la verga del fuego

I know a lot of little phrases in a lot of different languages...not enough to be useful though. :)

[hammerquill]

better watch out - don't loiter or you might be arrested.

1. Tomorrow I am going to make French Almond Tea Cakes for the MoveOn "Bake Back the White House" bake sale on Saturday.

2. That requires two cups of egg whites and more than three quarters of a pound of powdered sugar.

3. I really wish the Paramount Theatre would get me their schedule flyer in better time. I missed Monty Python and the Holy Grail on Good Friday.

[thekilltoy]

- i'm just going to sit here and do nothing

- yup, it's true

- *does nothing*

[siafu]

i didn't notice you copying me, tana, so it must be public domain.

i put the rest of the 91 ruffino in the stew. if i catch heck for it, i'm going to me mad...as heck. LOL. there was not that much in the bottle, maybe half a glass.

i didn't have beef broth, so i just kind of improvised the juice part. smells pretty good, so it must be ok. ruffino covers a multitude of faults.

[nymphette]

1: too tired to play. even mahjong. even 3RF!

2: in city all day. got a new rice bag, that i am taking to bed. (many hugs to sarah!)

3: i don't care if my husband comes with us.

[nymphette]

1: sarah's scrapbook pages rock!

2: i have got to update my feedbacks and lmao pages!

3: really, i am going to bed. with le riz. un sac of le riz.

okay, so my french wannabe sucks... catch me when i am awake and with it and i can swear with the best of them!!!! and i still know a bit from hich school french classes, though i hear if i ever used what i know anywhere but quebec, i'd be laughed out of town!!!! ;) apparently, it is just a tad different than france french. :P

For using South Park Tana for my avatar, I just thought it was cute.

You can't tell that 'my' tongue is sticking out though.

I wish they would have had brown hair with blonde streaks.

added to add this:
apparently, it is just a tad different than france french.

Yes it is...when I worked at The Gap there was a guy who was from Quebec and he heard some hottie girls speaking French and he went to talk to them...they totally snubbed him because his French was 'inferior' to theirs.

[Larrissa]

everybody around me lately is all religion-y. my sister in law got back from 3 months at a christian bootcamp/brainwash center in CA and shes all about having jesus save you now. i mean no offense to anyone whom might be offended.
jesus isnt the only way <----thats an opinion

mint and ginko tea - yyyuuuummmmm

the cats are on rampage. they cant go outside until tuesday because of elvis's ball operation.

[Sirius]

1. On "the boy" conversation. We call the guys at work "the boys." here are two of them. They are 65 and 67 years old. I don't think they mind being called the boys.

2. On the religion front Larissa, I've been seeing/noticing that a lot to. More people seem to be ending conversations and emails with "God bless." been wondering if I missed a memo somewhere.

3. I got my actually report card today. Wonder if I mailed copies to my parents if I would get prizes. Maybe when you are 30 they don't do that anymore...

[Sirius]

1. GoogleBot Viewing Topic: chunkymonkey's crazy world
2. things like that still amuse me
3. Oh, yea, i forgot I'm supposed to be paying bills right now...Microsoft Money is on in the background, that must count for something...

[Sirius]

1. Dorisa will see the San fransisco Peaks when she travels to Sedona and the grand Canyon.

2. You can see them now... http://img51.photobucket.com/albums/v157/siriusly/RoadTrip_1774.jpg

3. Why are the San Fransisco Peaks not in San Fransisco? They have nothing to do with the city. They were named for the Fransiscan monks who helped settle the area...

[Larrissa]

ive got this paranoid thing about there being some Thing that can just make all the littlerobot humans turn and face this way or that, think this or that

i love the links people put in their signatures

i couldnt resist and made my second LMAO, its a simple one this time

[chunkymonkey]

I'm going through one of those nervousness disconnection things. Whenever I feel behind on projects I tend to back off of the forums.

We've taken it to the next level and it feels good.
