Three random facts:

[cheshire-cat]

1. I dyed my hair a couple of days ago and now I think it smells like flea shampoo. I don't want to make people smell my hair to confirm my suspicions but I know that I will anyway...

2. I'm addicted to frozen yogurt. I'm having it for breakfast and my bloodsugar level must be waaaaay up there.

3. My wisdom teeth are coming in and the only thing keeping me from going insane is Motrin and I'm running out of it.

[Dalmaney]

1. I wrecked my keyboard and had to buy a new one.

2. I would still like to get some rubbing alcohol and q-tips and try to revive Bluey's old keyboard. This one doesn't control my music, and it's big and ugly.

3. I missed you all yesterday! :wave:

[medeous]

i have decided that the absolutely worst show on network television has got to be The Help. it's not even low brow humor. it lacks humor all together. a curse on my television for being on that channel yesterday in another room, forcing my lazy self to hear the absolute nothingness of this.

i've lived in this house longer than i've lived anywhere in my adult life...i feel the need to be gone. however, i've promised nan that i will stay here until she graduates from 8th grade unless i win the lottery, get married, or fired.

my dog jumped out of bed for a baby she dropped this morning. i heard her. i heard her whine to get back up. i pretended i didn't. the whine progressed to barking. i ignored it and pretended to be asleep. she JUMPED BACK UP! this may not be amazing to you, but to me, this is astounding. my bed is very high: the top of the mattress is just short of a yard from the floor. my dog has very short legs: 3 inches tops, and that's probably stretching it.

[Dalmaney]

1. Today is a day in which I must learn much about the mechanics of materials.

2. As of Monday, I will finish exams and can start seriously seeking a place to live for May and a car to drive for June.

3. I hate that I'm caving in and buying a car instead of spending my money on travelling like I should.

[Larrissa]

it bothers me when i like a person in person and they are all friendly and talkative and such, but once i am alone and think about the encounter i realize they could have been manipulative bastards and i was dragged along

i missed my visit yesterday :( my motherinlaw had an emergency like she does so often

you dont like paperclips huh? maybe some pending members will :P

[nymphette]

1: my sister-in-law just called and i had no idea who i was talking to for the first five minutes of the conversation.... she said 'it's sharon calling' but i was like 'sharon who? :o'

2: i was very confused because i looked at the area code and it was 604, BC, and for some reason, it registered immediately as saskatchewan, and i thought it was a saskatoon number... that has ot be the epitome of how flakey i am lately!!!!!!

3: i didn't let on that i didn't know who she was because i was hoping i'd either figure it out, or at least fake my way through and she'd never know.... <_<

[siafu]

i am putting limewire on heidi's computer b/c i want to burn a mix.

i hope to burn said mix and take the limewire off before she wakes up.

otherwise, my booty is toast.

[nymphette]

1: i braided my hair all over last night and now i look like a caveman, it's all over the place!!! i love it like this!!!

2: i could hav eprobably saved time and frustration (making tiny braids!!) but just crimping it i guess.... but what would be the fun in that???

3: we have to go out to a party tonight... wish us luck that we win on eof the three prizes!!!

[siafu]

good luck, nymphette!!!

i think i'm growing my hair out again.

then i can be uber creative and wear it up all the time. should i grow out my bangs?

[nymphette]

1: yes, grow out your bangs theresa!!!

2: i haven't had bangs for... twelve years... and they were super short short, a la janeane garafolo in reality bites... :)

3: julian is my love. :wub:

[thunderstorm_19]

1. so far, i've raised $150 with reasonably little effort

2. now i'm headed out to try to raise more, the door to door way

3. shy people like me shouldn't sign up for things where they have to fundraise, so i get all fidgety and kinda nervous/awkward... gaah

[Dalmaney]

1. I have identified my two weakest chapters that I should spend today shoring up.

2. It snowed last night. Ick.

3. I split a bottle of wine with my friend last night and we watched "Dirty Dancing". Half a bottle (a _small_ bottle) of wine consumed in an hour makes me pleasantly drunk.

[thunderstorm_19]

1... almost there...

2... up to $220 now...

3... $30 more to reach my goal...

[hammerquill]

1. I baked French almond tea cakes for the MoveOn bake sale.

2. I dropped them off, walked around the corner to get c0ffee, came back to get something from the sale to go with the c0ffee, and half the large pile of tea cakes was already gone.

3. :)

Edited to get rid of those stupid c0ffee icons :angry:

[hammerquill]

1. I forgot to take pictures of the sale. sigh.

2. While I was there, I went across the street to the farmer's market and bought half a flat of strawberries.

3. I have to decide if I should make strawberry icecream, buy vanilla icecream and make strawberry shakes, or make something else with them.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am actually progessing with my studying, and it feels good.

2. I may take a short walk in a bit to buy the paper... also possible rubbing alcohol and q-tips. My old keyboard is taunting me.

3. I will be done exams and free of all commitments for almost a week starting at noon on Monday.

[nymphette]

1: my old friend from calgary called me and all my pals out there (organized by her, my ex and one of my other best friends) are having a fund raising night at the bar two of them are co-owners of!!!!! :wub:

2: it is awesome to know all my old friends still love me!!!!! they are having a band, and another friend is bartending and donating her wages... 50/50 tickets, raffles....

3: BEST OF ALL:

I GET TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is on may 7th, and i was so excited and touched that they did this that i told beth to tell clint and ian that if there is any way on god's green earth, i will be there!!!!

[Dalmaney]

1. I am doing my laundry.

2. I am in the process of baking foccacia... but my over broiler element is burned out, so it could be sketchy.

3. I should be learning about shear and moment diagrams. I will... in a minute.

[gwensmom]

A whole weekend? AWESOME! :yay:

Turns out our MoveOn bakesale won't be held until May 15th. I'm pouting because I wanted to do it when everyone else was.

I made some cookies anyway because I was in baking mode. It is taking forever because I only have one cookie sheet and now I am so sick of those cookies that I don't want to eat them!

[Curlita]

1. Shout out to Theresa - I'm thinking on growing my hair out again too. Like you, so I can put it up. When I had long hair, every other day I put it up and got to skip the whole washing/styling routine.

2. Shout-out to Tana - Tomorrow I'm going to Lowe's to buy painting supplies and a new oven for the kitchen. Yeee ha! Anyone want to come help me paint the kitchen?

3. I had a massage yesterday and all the ouchy muscles in my back and butt feel sooooooo much better. I'm going to try and wangle a referral to a massage therapist out of my midwife next week when I see her.

[Curlita]

4. I got a card from Veronica and one from Robin re: babies! I love getting mail from nervous people. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

5. Am I weird for being kind of excited about painting the kitchen? Last time I painted, it made me grumpy...

6. I get to go home in 30 minutes. There is leftover birthday cake and ice cream at home.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i am watching a program about whales getting caught in fishing nets. very very sad.

2 so hungry.

3 meeting a friend for dinner on tuesday.

1. Please eat before Tuesday! You don't want to feel hungry for three whole days!

2. :rofl:

3. Sometimes simply amusing oneself is enough.

[siafu]

curlita, you rock!

hammerquill, i was just extolling your baking talents. goodonya!

i'm full. hey. what diseases make you have a metallic taste in your mouth?

[HelloMokona]

Blegh! A metallic taste is by far the worst taste. It's just icky.
Gastritis, heartburn, or acid reflux can cause it, but so can a tooth abscess or lead poisoning... How long have you (or whomever) had it?


3 facts:

Three months ago my pet count was up to 4 cats, 2 gerbils, a dwarf hamster, a teddy bear hamster, lots 'o fish, and 3 ferrets. Now all I have is the 4 cats. And sometimes it still seems like a lot. And it is a small rented home.

I am in my second year of Japanese.


I have an unhealthy collection of pens. I love pens. Even the most "regular" of pens.

[hammerquill]

Turns out our MoveOn bakesale won't be held until May 15th. I'm pouting because I wanted to do it when everyone else was.

Only one bakesale in Memphis? 'course, you could have organized your own for today, in all your free time. :rolleyes: Berkeley, of course, seems from the website to have one on every other street corner.


hammerquill, i was just extolling your baking talents. goodonya!

:huh: Uh, thanks... You sneak over to Oakland and pick some up or something?

Hmm...

1. I should have gotten a massage at the farmer's market, but I had reasons to get home, and not much money...

2. I'm currently in the state of having done all the stuff I keep thinking about having to do this weekend. I feel at loose ends. But of course I have tons of other stuff I should be doing, once I notice it...

3. I'd rather play Civilization.



4. I shouldn't even have thought that. DANGER! DANGER! :o

[Sirius]

[bluecrayon]

I am home after another journey to where my heart is...

It is always sad to come home...

I don't know what I'm doing.

[chunkymonkey]

it's a small world after all

I just watched an episode of good times.

I forgot how much I liked that show. dy no mite :P

[Sirius]

I'm so proud of myself because I have lost Medeous's ATCs.


I am trying to be a recovering neat-freak, so I have allowed my desk to become such a pile that I can lose things on it. Yeah!


Oh, but now that I have lost Medeous' ATCs I have an excuse to clean my desk because I must find them! Yeah!

[Sirius]

I found them.

Guess it wasn't messy enough.

Will try again.

[Dalmaney]

1. My old keyboard is definitely dead. I just tried to clean it for like an hour and there is no change.

2. I'll miss that keyboard... the music volume keys don't work on this one.

3. Now I should make something with the keys... or offer them for exchange... but I can't do anymore exchanges til I get my new address sorted out... sigh.

[qu1dd1ty]

this is quite fun!

1. I have a deep and abiding love of cereal.

2. I mismatch my sox on the principle that it far too long to fol dand then unfold them to put them on. and all my sox are fun colors. Also, on a side note, I prefer the spelling "sox" to "socks."

3. BBB is on TV, which is lovely. I love getting late night BBC in the dorm room on a warm Saturday Night. Yeah PBS.

[medeous]

i am wondering which ATCs rustell lost and recovered.
i am hoping they're the ones that she had been waiting for.
i am not counting on it, though.

[Sirius]

i DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE, MAYBE OKEEFE AND VANGOGH RIP OFFS, BUT I CAN'T TELL....


eek caps lock


oh, before anyone accuses me of being mean of Medeous, she made a note in her ATCs indicating she hoped I would be able to know which was which....

[Lilac]

I took my son fly fishing today and had a terrible time because he kept getting his line caught in branches and stuff.

Came home and took the horses out for a wonderful looonnnngggg ride through the woods and up back in the hills.

I'm really tired, but kind of feel like I need company...and you guys are all I have!

[Dalmaney]

1. I want to go do something somewhere.

2. The Boy is still studying... I think.

3. I think I'll just crash and watch part of a video until he decides to stop working.

[medeous]

sirius is the queen of tough lub
i spent the entire day in jammies
i am unrepentant of the fact that i have no third fact.

[Christine_0701]

1. This is the first time I've posted in Q&Q since I moved

2. Zoe, my little 4 year old niece is afraid of me.

well, no, but i figure butter+powdered sugar=yummy. that's the tastebud tantalizer.

i just got back from Kill Bill 2.

i watched every single second of the credits, as is my custom. i was rewarded with an outtake at the very end.

[Larrissa]

hell yeah! women with shaved heads rock!

i made a mistake to someone, i am so embarrassed

confidence shaken, rightly so probably

[tanagee]

1. Spent all day out @ the race track with Hubby and his 'girlfriend'. He was doing really awesome and then the axle broke.

2. A guy he races with crashed really bad when we were in Vegas and he caught on fire. He is in the hospital in Vegas recovering from skin grafts.

3. The local racing association he races with is having lots of fundraisers to help with his medical bills and the fact he won't be able to go back to work for at least 9 weeks.


BONUS
I am wearing 1 of my 2 my new sweatshirts I bought and holding my 4 raffle tickets! $35 more to help out!

[tanagee]

It rained today which does not make for a good day of drag racing.

I scored a really cool second carseat (http://www.simpsonraceproducts.com/catalog/racefan/childseat.asp) for Megan to put in Hubby's truck from some friends, who have lots of money and like to buy all the cool stuff, because their daughter has grown out of it.

However since my car was packed with all the junk from the racetrack, we did not take it home so Hubby may or may not actually accept it.

[bluecrayon]

Life happens in all the spaces between our expectations and our realities...

The light that shines through our fingers when we look at the sun is not always the color we wish it to be...

but we need only lace up our shoes and ride into the night to understand why...

[Monamo]

OK, first of all (and not one of my three random facts) - I think this thread rocks... I've been reading it from the first post and had to stop after two hours, so I could be sure I'd remember to put my own entry in before I call it a night (starting to get drowsy in the wee hours).

So here goes...

1. I live like a hermit (I rarely allow anyone in my home, and even less frequently venture out into the real world other than to travel to/from work). This allows for a LOT of time to sit and think (and reminiscing about the events of my life before becoming a hermit). Which kinda leads to my next random fact...

2. I'm a sentimental packrat, so I keep everything of nostalgic value - Which is kinda how I stumbled into the world of nness. I became interested in art because my ex-wife was an art major. The thing is, I didn't develop the interest in making my own until years later when I stumbled across some old slides and pictures of her. That led to me rifling through my boxes and bins of all my glorious stuff and found some envelopes we had made together of interesting pictures in magazines. I hit a search engine to find out what art category/label that fell under and found this site.

3. I'm learning to speak Russian through self-study (language programs on CD). I chose Russian because I wanted to pick one that isn't typically listed when someone says they speak a second language (in the U.S. at least).

... ok, so the hermit thing leaves me a little "wordy" whenever it comes to interacting with others (even interacting in this sense).

[Sirius]

1. googlebot is checking out the Nervous Gallery

2. I should go to sleep

3. Have lots to do tomorrow....

[Dalmaney]

1. I also should go to sleep.

2. I also have lots to do tomorrow.

3. But Monday... oooh, Monday. Monday afternoon is going to be the most glorious afternoon ever. And Monday evening may be too good for words...

[tanagee]

I hate Shaq...maybe hate is too strong. He annoys the hell out of me.

I wish I could be more poetic and scintillating.

One of my favorite verses from a punk song is:
America stands for freedom
But if you think you're free
Try walkin into a deli
And urinating on the cheese
-The Vandals Anarchy Burger

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i love muesli cereal

2 i hate soggy cereal

3 sir gulliver the cat wants me to finish my cereal and give him the dish so he can lick the milk from it

Once when I was bored I read a few random pages of this thread from way back- before I even came here. It WAS interesting.

Christine you are something else! I would be way too chicken to do what you did. Bok bok.

What are people saying about it? Has anyone asked you if you are taking chemo or anything?

[emtmeghan]

1. I'm at work.
2. I work for an ambulance service.
3. I'm underpaid.

- Shouldn't be online at all.

- It's four thirty and I'm still in pyjamas. :o

[Lilac]

I skipped church again today and am feeling the fires of Hell burning the bottoms of my feet!

I'm going to go out to the barn in a bit and see if I can fix the damn lawn tractor.

I think I'm probably going to be a grouchy heathen all day.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 reading about the illegal trade in endangered species/body parts/pelts is depressing.

2 trying to catch up on my earth month dailies today.

3 coffee works magic

[thunderstorm_19]

1 ohmygosh. i typed coffee. and i didn't get the icon. crazy. so wierd.

2 it's been raining all morning thus far

3 thunder and lightning too, and really dark

bonus... :coffee

[zanna]

i'm watching 'runaway jury' right now.

i just finished eating some eggs.

i wish i could stop worrying and pondering about him and that my emotions could just stop on cue.

[Bugitha]

1. I finally got me a shiny new job. :D

2. I wish they sold the sherbert they put in Push-Up popsicles by the pint or half-gallon.

3. I just spent a small forturne on bookbinding supplies.

[Dalmaney]

1. Today is the last day I have to study for my finals.

2. It is already late and I am moving slowly.

3. I also skipped church... but I'll go in the evening with the Boy, so I really don't feel badly about it at all.

[Curlita]

I'm putting off starting the kitchen painting project. I need to go downstairs, but it seems so overwhelming.

Lucy is sitting on my lap and slurping on my arm and gripping it with her little needle claws. Why do both of my cats have obsessive oral fixations???

I need to buy a new oven today too. Our old one died and could not be revived. We keep forgetting and then plan dinners that involve the oven. Result: head-smiting.

Bonus: I baked Jonny's birthday cake in the crock pot. It actually turned out okay.

[Dalmaney]

1. My oven needs a new broiler element, but I keep forgetting to complain to the building manager. I'm moving anyway...

2. I have finished my coffee (yay... coffee coffee coffee) and should go shower and face my mechanical materials.

3. I'm going to review the concept question materials, do one on torsion, and one on plane stress transformations, and one nasty statically indeterminant one, and one with shear stress in a section and... what? I don't make sense? I make perfect sense! School has just warped my thought process and my vocabulary.

[/b][/quote]
Only the first 150 posts (not counting all of the subsequent posts since my first set of facts)... I've got a long way to go.

Ok, so now three more... um,

1. I woke up to find red wine splashed across the room. I must have thrashed out in my sleep and kicked over the glass near where I was sleeping.

2. I woke up to the sound of sirens. I realized that I'm so used to the sound that I'd probably just sleep through it if my building was burning. I don't live in a "bad" area, my apartment is just next to a key route that the fire trucks take.

3. My nick is "moo man" with the letters rearranged.

Moo!

[Dalmaney]

1. I am excited that my one-at-a-time recruiting strategy seems to be a reasonable one that does help to keep people interested in my project when they actually get it.

2. This makes me optimistic that I may actually get a travelling journal through five or six or (gasp!) ten people before I recall it.

3. It also means I can recall it whenever I want without offending anyone that would normally be later on the list.

[bluecrayon]

I am wishing Kittymao a happy birthday

I am wondering how Freckledcutie is doing

I'm saying hi to gwensmom...

[Dalmaney]

1. I just realized it works better than I thought: in ONE month, the letter journal has gone from my house to having the third person ready to send it on. And it took me a couple days to write my letter and get it moving in the first place.

2. That's right: one month. One mail time from Canada to the States and two domestic trips. This implies much about what is possible.

3. Although it is a very "easy" lmao that doesn't require much/any artistic inspiration. So that probably helps... plus the excellent people that have signed up for it... ok, I'm just really happy right now that something seems to be going well and I'm rambling. :D

[Sirius]

1. i'm happy to be one of those contributors making anna happy.

2. although i wonder if i broke some sort of rule, everyone else filled two sides of one age, and i filled two sides of two....got carried away....

3. waiting to find out who to send it to now...

[Sirius]

being that you can read all the posts w/o signing on to the forums i find it odd that there are so many people who have signed up and have zero posts


i'm not making a lot of progress today.


brian on the other hand has installed a new electrical socket and added a second entry (complete with frame) to the attic....way to make me feel like a low achiever....

[Dalmaney]

1. There are no rules for letter writing. You write until you're done.

2. I have finished my "conceptual" sections review.

3. I am compulsively checking to see if anyone has signed up yet... I am so bad for that when I start LMAO's.

[zanna]

i'm about to go over to my friend's house.

I am going to try to shut this down in me and not let it control me today...


ps. -- Zanna! I am thinking of you...

[Dalmaney]

1. I can stop compulsively checking signups now.

2. I have one of my feet wrapped in plastic wrap with olive oil on the inside in an experiment in moisturization.

3. I am sick of studying, but I am not done yet.

[Curlita]

Kitchen status: I have cleared the counters and taken down all the light and electrical plates. My god, is that all??? Crap.

Now I'm on my way out to get paint and all the other things I will need.

When I get home I'll need to wipe down the walls, which are dusty and disgusting. What pigs live in this sty anyway? Oh yeah, me and Jonny.

[Larrissa]

the first lmao i made it filled up in 24 hours, now the second one is sooo empty, i guess its simplicity isnt good enough for some :P. i had to make another lmao, i couldnt resist, so i made it an easy one. so there

Three random jokes from Prairie Home Companion joke show:

1. Did you hear that Victoria's Secret is having a Janet Jackson sale? All bras are half off.

2. Did you hear that the cops pulled Janet Jackson over? Her right headlight was out.

3. What is big and grey and doesn't matter? An irrelephant!

2. I am studying... slowly... while popping in here pretty often.

3. Eventually, I will have to get dressed. I'm in "stay in the house" clothes at the moment.

[Cuilanië]

- I'm glad to see cb back... we've missed you!

- I've spent most of my day doing things other than what I'd planned. That's what happens when a surprise is waiting for you when you finally drag yourself out of bed. :)

- I like my hair today. It's a nice length (although I should maybe say it's a nice shortth) and just starting to curl...

I've just spent three hours out back repairing a portion of the fence! I don't know what I'm going to do if Zinny breaks through anymore! And my son was no help because he kept screaming about Bees, Bees, Bees!!!! All I wanted him to do was hold things in place and hand me nails and stuff, but he kept running off everytime a bee or wasp came around!! He has a terrible phobia about wasps and bees and I don't know how to help him get over it! Any ideas?

I havent even TRIED to fix the damn lawn tractor. There's just so much around this place that needs fixing - ALWAYS! It's a never ending battle!

I'm going to just take the kid and the dogs and go to the lake and forget about this problem house!

[Sirius]

dalmaney- someone did sign up for the next spot, it is all posted, stamped and out for mail pick up tomorrow....

hi!

I give up. I am cleaning now.

[Cuilanië]

- I'm happy. Ridiculously, deliriously happy.

- I need to eat something. At this hour, it's going to be pasta again.

- And maybe strawberries and cream for dessert. :)

yay for Eve!!!

but I always worry about the other end of this feeling...

coming down in a swirly reflection can shatter against the euphoria.

[Curlita]

Back from Lowe's with all kinds of supplies and a new oven arriving on Saturday. My feet hurt. Dreading the return to the kitchen.

I also just bought plane tickets to CA. We're going to see Jonny's hometown in June.

I saw a license plate that said BIGRMA on the way to the hardware store. Couldn't figure it out. Bigger Ma? Bigger Massacusetts? Big RMA? Bisexual Grandma?

[gwensmom]

One of the iris in my back yard finally bloomed!

It is purple and there are also pink and white.

I need to go get some plant stakes for them because they are really tall.

3. Yesterday I found a yellow LEGO scimitar on the ground.

[Larrissa]

recently the computer was upgraded, so now whenever i look at it while doing something else, pass by the hallway and see it looking at me, i can just turn it on and come to nervousness within a minute. this isnt good for my list of chores ...

today was the first day in quite awhile that i visited another few websites. the whole of the internet but here couldve ceased to exist and i wouldnt have known

i probably need an intervention :P

*edit because i have dyslexic typing

[medeous]

i slept until 3:30 this afternoon.

i don't think 13 hours of sleep is overdoing it.

no, i'm not ill.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i got some cute lil' sea-life charms in a garage sale yesterday

2 that is what i was trying to remember to say earlier

3 i got a hot pepper for the hot pepper spray, and that is now steeping and will be used over the next few days

[Lilac]

Well, I got the lawn tractor fixed. I actually got a lot accomplished around here today and am pretty proud of myself.

However, I wonder how I'll be able to take care of this place when I'm old and decrepit. I hate to sell because I know that when (and if) I do, they'll just turn all this land into housing developments.

I hate all the developments going up around me! They are building these 500,000 dollar houses down the road...and here I am in this little old farm house.

[Larrissa]

whenever i see a field turning into buildings i feel a helpless anger

i wont be here in texas to laugh at the grackles in fall when they molt their tails and look all silly

it oftens disappoints when i find out the words to a song i love are different than the way i heard them (exception: radiohead. cant understand what they hell his wonderful self is singing with or with out lyrics. i just sing along in a nonexistent language)

[Lilac]

Me, too. I HATE developers and I HATE people moving out into the country, destoying fields, woodland and beautiful old farmland. It's happening everywhere around here and it just depresses the hell out of me.

I think I'll let my farm get really decrepit, kind of like the one on Green Acres, and see how those people in the 500,000 dollar house like having me as a neighbor. (Well, not really a neighbor, but too close for comfort.)

I HATE THEM!

[Larrissa]

i love it when someone is all rebellious with thier property, i have a relativeinlaw with refridgerators all over his yard

i have a pimple in the crook of my elbow that never goes away and i scratch it and think of people shooting terrible things into thier bodies

once read that closed eyes to a cat is friendly and staring is aggressive, so when i see them i alwyas lazily blink at them, they love me

We might get a new refrigerator soon and if we do I will send my old one to Lilac so she can put it in her yard.

Old tractor tires painted white with plastic flowers "planted" in them are also nice lawn decorations.

Lilac would look good sitting in her front yard with these things and wearing her hilbilly teeth.

1. I am done studying now.

2. Tomorrow I will face the consequences of being done studying now.

3. I have plans to start house-hunting, and to go for wings later. I will be free! Wild and crazy and free. I think the Boy wants to get me drunk.

[Larrissa]

lately i have felt the urge to get drunk, but i just cant get that nasty stuff down the tube. my body involuntarily will not accept it. unless its fruity. maybe tommorrow i will get some juice. or possibly get some pot from sisterinlaws hubby, i quit then started smoking meekly again.

its gonna cost half of what i paid for my ticket to take the kitty on the plane, but he gets to be in his cage in the cabin with me!

this day started out tough and sad, but a few *unwasted* hours in the forums has made me feel superb. thanks guys.

[Curlita]

I would be happy to send my non-functioning stove to Lilac for her yard detritus collection.

I grew up in rural Maryland and I know exactly what you mean. Last time I went home, there was only one dairy farm left, and it had just been sold to create a subdivision.

I didn't actually break the seal on the paint cans today. I'm still prepping. I have to finish spackling and sanding and then paint. Our walls are lumpy and bumpy with sloppy prior putty jobs. I want to track down the fool who applied the putty and kick their butt.

coming from copper sands to lilac- one unworking, broke- assed washing machine!!! that'll keep the neighbors from developing too close!!! ;)

1: enjoyed our night out last night... though we didn't win the big screen tv prize, or the hot tub prize or the computer prize.... that was sucky....

2: free beer!!! and chris doesnt' drink beer, so that meant FOUR free beer for l'il ole me... i was pretending it was summer, so they'd taste better....

3: my cousin and her boyfriend were there, so we ended up sharing a table and going out to bart's for karaoke!!! we sang 'we didnt' start the fire' together, and the 'time warp'... chris even got up and sang (turn the page- metallica)... i wouldn't go up alone though.... :o i'm a chicken.. bawk bawk puckawk!!!

[tanagee]

I may replace my toilet soon so I will send that on to lilac as well, they look really cool with flowers planted in the bowl.

I am a neighbor of someone who stacks their detrius in their driveway and then ever so often move it to the side of the road for others to pick-up and take home should they so choose. (the psycho cat lady)

Sometimes her hubby puts things out on the curb and she goes out and rescues it and visa versa.

Bonus fact
I often wonder what my neighbors on the other side think about having to look out their dining room window at my 68 Camaro on a trailer. Good thing they can't see all the transmissions under tarps on the other side of the house.

[Larrissa]

three members active in the last ten minutes. where are the night posters!?

insomnia caused by caffiene

had to watch crappy tv until the man went to be and stopped playin his video game

[chunkymonkey]

It's going to be hot today.

I'm trying to decide if I should put the ac in my window.

Today needs to go just right or I am f**ked. :blink:

[Larrissa]

wishing you luck, and hoping you like what i did to your duds

in third grade the school had this huge tree that would drop mountains of leaves in fall, and our little group (ack) would collect them to be rowdy in. i cant imagine now what kind of chemicals we exposed ourselves to

last spring i kidnapped a killdeer from a starbucks parking lot. i thought the little guy was without a nest and going to be hit by a car. after 10 phone calls to wildlife rehabilitators, turns out kill deers dont have nests, and the babies just run around following mom or dad since the first day the can stand. at night the parents sleep with them tucked under a wing. we drove the baby back and the mama and papa were screaming bloody murder from the corner of starfucks. left the little guy on the corner and waited for the sweet reunion. i was so sorry for tramatizing this bird. whew that was a long fact

[Cuilanië]

- Now I've got 'We Didn't Start the Fire' stuck in my head. Thanks Robyn! :D :lol: I hadn't remembered that song in years...

- I got up at one today. Not bad, considering that I only went to sleep around 8 am...

- Think I'll download the song... lol

[Cuilanië]

- I still like my hair today.

- I should go out. It's beautifully bright and sunny, after a rainy start...

- I feel like crocheting in the sun. I wanted to finish that piece in time for Robyn's sale... and I didn't. :(

[Lilac]

Wow...with all these stoves, washing machines, refrideraters and toilets coming in from all you Nervousers...I just MAY be safe from developers coming in too close! :lol:

I'll just collect all these items, spread them randomly through my front yard, put in my hillbillt teeth, get old billy goat Gruff out front and I'll be all set!

Oh...plus I won't cut my grass or trim my hedges...leave the tractor in the front yard to rust...and I'll get all you Nervousers to vivit and we'll put on a big loud "shindig!"

Any more ideas to keep the devolpers from getting too close?

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i think i should lay off the coffee

2 i wonder who - if anyone - is going to do the Climb with me... my sis' BF can't, cuz he has to work... must talk to my two friends who said they might

3 i'm only $30 short of my fundraising goal, promised another $10 from richard who i am hanging out with on tuesday (tomorrow), providing i don't forget...

[Dalmaney]

1. I write my last exam starting in forty minutes.

2. I am planning my 24 hour movie marathon after my exam. Tentatively scheduled for Wednesday-Thursday from 2 pm to 2 pm. You're all invited, but if you want to see anything specific, now is the time to tell me.

3. Tonight I'm going out for wings with the Boy. I think I will have the *two* Schmirnoff Ice it takes to make me nicely tipsy.

A clothesline (in the front yard) with raggedy underwear blowing in the breeze. A tilting run-down trailer or SUV. Plenty of weeds, a couple of mangy dogs, and a smattering of rusty malt liquor cans tastefully distributed about the yard.

random things I want:

1. I want to watch movies with Dalmaney.

2. I want to bike riding at night with bluecrayon

3. I want to go sit in lilac's yard wearing hilbilly teeth.

4. I want to hold Ben's baby

5. I want to go on vacation with Meika

6. I want one of hammerquill's wall pieces for my house

7. I want to visit Robyn and Harrison and Julian

I know it's more than three!

[Curlita]

1. My cat somehow thinks that I'm so gullible as to believe that she climbs up into my lap and starts purring madly simply because she LOVES me and not because I am eating yogurt.

2. I had a dream about my baby last night.

3. Off to prenatal yoga and then.... Erica versus The Kitchen.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i ordered my mum's mother's day gift today

2 it's a desktop air purifier for her to use at work, she works in an office, but there's also a manufacturing plant out back, and the air quality in the office is affected, and she's always complaining about the bad air, so i hope it will help

3 it's supposed to arrive in 2-5 working days

[thunderstorm_19]

1 my sister and i are giving her that together, plus we'll get some chocolate or something to add

2 the card i got her is adorable - its a blank inside one, with a newborn kitten on the front

3 ok it's only 11:40 but i am going to go get some lunch (leftover turkey pie!!)

[sarahkate]

1. It's supposed to reach 80 degrees here today! Yahooo! This is the first time this year that I am wearing capri pants and sandals.

2. I thought I would get a bunch done in my yard this weekend, well, despite the beautiful weather I didn't do any yardwork :(

3. Usually I don't go out at lunch, but today I have to go to the PO to drop my Netflix movie returns in the mail, and I think I will go to the grocery store and grab something for lunch, probably some frozen food crapola - but better than no lunch at all I guess!

[Larrissa]

ack! mission of the day remembered, i dont want to! whos gonna make me!? oh yeah, i am.

when i was quite young (4? my mom was still around) the video to that song, we didnt start the fire, would haunt me for days after seeing it. and the pink floyd song about the teachers and the meat and leave those kids alone would play in my head all scary-like for days as well.

when i was five my parents had a hillbilly bonfire in our giant backyard, and decided to add my favorite stuffed animal to it. it was some bear thing that his nose glowed when you gave his belly a squeeze, but his nose was falling out of his face. so i had to watch him burn on top of this stupid garbage pile. i am still pissed about this. whydid they do that?! i loved that stuffed animal!!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 the weather is odd today... dull, but warm, not hot, very humid...

2 chattin with my sis...

3 going to check for mail...

[thunderstorm_19]

1... holy mail batman!

2... 8 pieces of mail, looks like 6 are Nness...

3... am going to see a movie with drew in a little while

[Larrissa]

MAIL! i stopped myself from thinking of it because it was sunday ...

good mail is worth going to the mailbox in pajamas

cat in the window, they cant go outside until tuesday

[stargal1998]

1. Tonight I'm going to try and catch up on Forums and Nness stuff.

2. I have a craft show this weekend, so I have to make about 4 scarves, some altered books and tins... woo HOO!

3. I'm writing this from a new dell laptop, I'm going to try and make more of an effort to be online after work. I set up the wireless network by myself...


Anyway, my lunch hour is almost over so I have to get going... :-)

[sarahkate]

Hi Nicole!! :wave: I'm glad to see you back - I have missed you!!!


1. Phew! It's HOT outside. I can't remember the last time it was this warm, probably sometime last August or September.

2. I joined Netflix last week & my first 3 movies came on Saturday. One of them was the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was scary!!!!!! I think what really scared me was just all of the chase scenes. The thought of someone chasing me just makes me panic. So when I watch movies like that I imagine if I were in that situation what it would be like, and then I'm scared for days after that. :P

3. My boyfriend thinks it's funny to chase me upstairs. I make it about halfway up the stairs and then I freeze and I can't move, even though I know it's just him.

[zanna]

my friend keeps talking about wanting to write an erotic literature story.

she's going around the room and asking people what their sexual fantasies are.

more power to her ..good luck rachel!

[littlest-bee]

. my boy is making me roast chicken for dinner.

.. On my to-do list for tomorrow is: bake a cake. I can't decide what to make exactly though, I just keep reading the recipe book and drooling at all the yummy sounding cakes.

... I have to get my hair cut this week - it looks wild. I'm thinking about having a fringe cut in.

[Larrissa]

whats is this "woot"? i never heard it before being here but its such a great expression, woot!

motherinlaw has a mockingbird that only makes one sound. over and over again. i suppose its deaf or obsessed or highly uncreative.

gotta gotta go gotta lotta chores to do, dont make me!

[Curlita]

1. Playing with the Sims does not help get the kitchen painted.

2. I am getting hungry.

3. I can't think of a third thing, which is odd, because usually I can think of too many.

[Lilac]

People in my office as so annoying! I just want to bring my super soaker in here one day and go ballistic! (heh heh) Especially on the secretary with the big '80's hair!

I wish the boss would turn the air conditioner on! It smells like B.O. and coffee breath in this God awful place!

And I must admit that I'm contributing to this B.O. problem because I was in such a rush to get to work this moringin, I forgot to use deodorant.

When you see them snooping around the neighborhood walk around your front yard in one of those biohazzard jumpsuits and a geiger counter.

a ratty velveteen couch and some of those old school aluminum and webbing lawn chairs on the front porch would be a nice touch as well.

Spread a rumor about yourself in town alluding to weird satanic rituals.

- Larrissa: when I was a little kid, maybe three or four, I had a clown with a music mechanism; you turned the nose to wind it up.It was checkered in blue and autumn colours, and it was beautiful... I loved that clown. And one night, my father grabbed it by the feet to kill a cricket, and broke it. My parents bought me another one, but it was never the same... I feel your pain.

- I once had bangs cut in when I had long hair, but I never learned to manage them properly.

I have so much to do before our tax appointment next week and I don't even know if what I am doing is the right thing.

I am tired of asking Megan if she wants to sit on her potty and I haven't even really officially started potty training yet.

2 i think i have movie plans on friday too

3 dinner plans tonight... mustn't forget

[Lilac]

I watched Kill Bill with my son last night and some of the scenes were incredibly uncomfortable. For those of you who have seen it, I'm sure you know what I mean. (The hospital scene involving Buck and his lowlife friend and the animated scene of O-ren getting revenge on her parent's assasin)

I really shouldnt have let him watch it.

Oh well. Sometimes I really suck as a mother.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i have added more plans to my busy week - laura, coffee, tomorrow

2: we worked from 1-10 on saturday, are working today from 11-3, working wednesday from 7 pm to ?? and again on friday from 6 till???.... hopefully we can get a LOT more accomplished!!!

3: it will be nice to create something again for someone else, and not just to sell....

4: i know there will be a half million LMAO's arriving all at the same time, sometime soon!! :o s'allright though, after saturday, i am back to my regular (NO)life...

[nymphette]

1: because of the film and actor thread, i just looked up my old neighbor on imdb.com to see what else he's been in!!! he was such a sweet kid... i just read that he had a starring role (!!!) in a movie!!! not a well known one, but still.... it's called 'shapeshifter'... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202586/

2: he was in a few other movies, not all listed on imdb though...

3: yeah. :) oh, and there was a movie filmed in rouleau a few (lots of fews) years ago called guitar man.... it was pretty darn cheesy, but when it's on tv i still watch it!!! ;) "A guitar playing stranger saves a small towns crops from swarms of locusts.

I should have gone outside to eat because it's so beautiful out there right now...but I'm adddicted to you guys!

I wish I were home. I would love to lay out on my son's trampoline and take a nap while the spring breeze blows through my hair.

lost 5.5 lbs in the last week

brought a salad for lunch, but ending up eating ravioli from the cafeteria

i was on the last line of a job application and i erased the whole fat thing.

i'm disgusted.

1. I woke up before noon and am going to check out another apartment soon.

2. I am going to need a nap badly this afternoon.

3. Tomorrow is the 24 hour movie marathon!

feeling disgusted is better then feeling digusting

"cards" is a typo of carbs

I watched Kill Bill with my son last night and some of the scenes were incredibly uncomfortable.

I really shouldnt have let him watch it.

Oh well. Sometimes I really suck as a mother.


I took my 9 year old son with me to see "The Ring"

I felt the same way as Lilac...

not knowing the lines between realities shakes me to my core sometimes...

[Bugitha]

1. I am considering ordering a canoli kit from Mikes Pastry (http://www.mikespastry.com) 3000 miles away. Yes, I am that desperate for good canoli.

2. I like pine forests for the smell of them.

3. Sometimes the things I want take so long to get I dont want them anymore by the time I get them.

[kittymao]

I just read twenty pages of TRF.

I finally figured out how to do screenshots, and now have me as an SP character and me as one of them punky avatars. hang on a sec, I'll show them...

yeay, coo.

uhm. Have some work to do so will go and dooo eet!

[Lilac]

I go home in 45 minutes!!!! :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:

I ahve to stop at Toys R Us to buy a birthday present for my nephew.

This is an extremely boring post

[Larrissa]

kittymao, i love your south park character!

i made myself sick a few days ago by looking at bloody pictures of human spaghetti. it fascinates me that we can be so disconnected from our body-machine.

maybe i should ask the man to hide the power cable to this machine so i can get some work done ...

[siafu]

kitty, those are awesome. goodonya!

i need to get my wife one of those anonymous credit cards. when she takes my atm card, i feel unprepared for any eventuality.

my hair looks bad today, and i actually am indifferent. this is something like sirius recovering from her neatfreakaholicness.

hey kitty, did you have a good birthday?

[kittymao]

my birthday spanned the weekend- as I was worried Sunday would suck.
Friday I wanted steak, so we went to Outback and while we waited fortyfive minutes for a table we griped about the "atmosphere" restauraunts while I read a Quentin Tarantino article. I ended up getting pretty drunk.

Saturday I went with my Inspirational Art class to the Pixar Studios ( my teacher works there.) I was hoping it'd be awe inspiring- but... it wasn't. It was just- okay.
Then my BF picked me up and we went on a bike ride. Then we had pizza for dinner.

Sunday we went to Casa de fruta and sampled all manners of fruits and nuts and sweets. We bought a lb. of pistachios ( half reg/ half garlic flavored) and a lb of mixed nuts (avoided the fruits cause it's not spring yet). We devoured them then I came home.

So it was a nice weekend. It could have been better but... well, it was My Time so any sense of romanticism was killed. Nevertheless. Thanks for asking. :wub:

[OHPossum]

I missed hangin out here lately.

luckily it is a slow day at work

when I give my wife my ATM card it's becasue I spent too much and I scare myself.

[nymphette]

1: my atm card wont' give me money so i dont' have to worry about that... ;)

2: it also won't let me pay by interac... how rude...

3: i am sure the teller's wouldnt' give me any money either if i showed them my atm card.... i'd have to use a gun and a note to get money from them!!!

:lol:

I am missing him and wondering why I'm here.
Ditto...

It's getting late, but I'm not tired...

I miss being in school...

[Dalmaney]

1. I missed my naptime and should try to make it through to bedtime instead.

2. I don't think I will see the Boy today... for the first time in weeks... but I hope to be asleep before he gets off work.

3. We have acquired all our movies except "Office Space", and I have to walk to a friend's to get "Top Gun" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". In all, we are showing 15 movies, from "Amelie" to "Emporer's New Groove" to "Mask of Zorro". It's solid.

[Cuilanië]

- Going to bed now. I've stayed here much longer than I intended. (hi cb!!)

- The days are warming up, but the nights are still cold.

- I miss the middle seasons in Québec. All I've seen since 1999 are summer and winter... and fall's my favourite. Sigh.

[bluecrayon]

Goodbye, Eve! I spun a little looser outside of myself today, and that felt good...

Home is something I just don't feel I understand the meaning of...

It's almost a word that forces me to rebel -- because it implies I have to stand still, and I'm not ready to do that yet...

yikes.

[zanna]

i just got back from another soccer game.

we won 3-1.

i scored the first and last goals! :D

[Curlita]

Day Three and the kitchen is still not completely painted. Every muscle in my arms, legs, and back is sore. I am beginning to despair.

I'm awarding myself with a half hour Sims break as a reward for painting for an hour and a half straight.

I have a packet of M&Ms in my purse for later.

[medeous]

i bought some sassy new shoes.

i like kittymao's punky avatar -- i want to make one, too!

my sister called to talk to me about the day we drove though oklahoma city and heard the explosion and sirens.

[Lilac]

I've had one heck of a day. It's after 11:00 PM and I havent even eaten dinner yet.

And yet, here I am...online...the last place I should be.

I guess it just calms my nerves.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am eating some white rice with chili sauce. It's the closest to "real food" I've come all day.

2. That probably has contributed to me feeling a bit crappy all day.

3. I should get my act together and go fetch another three movies.

[Larrissa]

thats looks like a mutant grasshopper/crab in lilacs new avatar. what is it?

if i had $1000 i would buy lots of ninjatunes

i dont feel it necessary to clean paint off my hands unless its toxic or itchy or wet.

[siafu]

i mostly loaded the dishwasher.

i'm listening to some crap on vh1. i don't mind it too much.

in a couple few minutes i'm going to go cook.

[Lilac]

That's a cute little crayfish in my avatar.

I still havent eaten dinner. I had two Hershey's Swoops. My Mom brought over a container of those blasted things today. I'll never lose weight!!!!

My mail was soooo boring today. An application for a credit card and Newsweek magazine. Blah.

[tanagee]

I am watching 4 Weddings and a Funeral and every time I see it I say to myself "God! I love John Hannah!"

I ended up not babysitting today.

I am a creep...just ask Megan.

[Sirius]

I wonder how you capture the screen shots to make your southpark character your avatar....


i wonder if one of you will tell me....

i wonder if i could give up my star picture for it....

[namelessgirl]

i believe if sirius hits "Shift + PrtScn" she might be pleasantly surprised.

i wish the kitchen would figure out how to clean itself.

i hope my husband calls tonite.

[chunkymonkey]

I can't find that post with the chicken that does stuff you tell it to do. :angry:

I showed my mom the chicken earlier. Her reaction: you can see people from that thing?!?!?! :rolleyes:

My mom still thinks it's the 80's.

[namelessgirl]

chicken for chunkymonkey! (http://nervousness.org/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=56&t=9304)

i should be in bed!

my kitties are cute!

[zanna]

about to go to school.

just got up and read the newspaper article online about yesterday's game and really want to do something bad to that reporter who wrote it.

he wrote one short paragraph about the girl's game and a whole article for the guys. what a whore!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 the cat was curled up on the bed, in the bend of my knees, preventing much movement, but looking very cute

2 don't go to bars/pubs on the nights of playoff games unless you're a hockey fan

3 $20 short of fundraising goal... a friend from uni said she'd sponsor me, waiting for her cheque to arrive... she wouldn't tell me how much she'd pledged (it's a surprise she says)... hmm...

2. i love that movie.

3. i think hugh grant is sexy.

[zanna]

i took some allergy medicine this morning and i'm feeling so very drowsy.

it always has the same effect on me, no matter which brand i take. this morning i took the 'non-drowsy' kind. yeah ..whatever.

i wish i could find some that works and doesn't make me take a nap during the middle of the day.

[Lilac]

Just got word...off to the site I go! Yeay!

See you all sometime tonight!

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

1: i don't. and i am not sure why!

2: ALL the women in my family (minus me of course) think he's soooo sexy!

3: i have just recently discovered that i like him (no, i LOVE him) as an actor! he's sarcastic, funny, witty and clever... and british!

but not sexy... ;)

[nymphette]

1: it's quiet.... TOO quiet.... :suspiciouslook:

2: hello sarahkate!!! :wave:

3: my SIL was supposed to come by today with her mom and her youngest baby (my church-y brother's wife) but she isn't going to now. no notice. supposed to be here at 9. still not here, and i just heard from my brother that they aren't coming. i'll turn the coffe off, and thank my mom for rushing over last night to bring a bunch of shit they wanted to pick up. :angry:

[sarahkate]

1. Howdy Robyn! :wave:

2. I don't think Hugh Grant is sexy either. Yucky.

3. I don't think I posted in 3RF at all yesteray! :o

[Larrissa]

okay i am admitting i have a serious addiction here. but its not hurting anyone, is it? over 1000 posts seems a little much.

have a small pile of books and booklets ive made in the past few days, i f someone wanted to lend me a japanese screwpunch for 2 weeks, i would be quite grateful. its just an expensive little toy and i want to try it before saving up to buy one.

has anyone read buddhas little finger? it is such an awesome book. translated from russian though, so maybe the original wording was even better.

[owen]

art school sucks and can not teach you art

currently i am addicted to teesha moore's website and 45's of 80's songs


hugh grant....well uhm what can i say, i have no love for the guy

[siafu]

wow. teesha moore is amazing.

i hate being the object of morning grumpiness.

my professor is happy i got married. :)

[nymphette]

three happy random facts

1: i have the baby slam in my possession and it is filled out, word wise.. i am going to work on my pictures of my l'il guys right now!!!

2: i have an altered book here as well!!! it will be my first altered book ever to work on.... i am so excited!!! (but yet, like i NEED another addiction... <_< ) :P

3: um. yeah. two random thoughts...

oh yeah.... 3 days till THE SALE!!!!

[chunkymonkey]

2 don't go to bars/pubs on the nights of playoff games unless you're a hockey fan

good tip. Am I the only one scared that there won't be a hockey season next year?

I think I'll clean the house today.

yes I just got up. :o

[nymphette]

i would LOVE to say that... just ONCE.... <sigh wistfully>

;)

1: julian made soup today (with a bit of help from his momma)... beef with barley, lasagna noodles (hey, he picked 'em.. i broke 'em up though... ;)), cauliflower (of course.... <_< ), corn and tomatoes.... he makes pretty good soup....

2: the :wub: icon has his eyes closed right now on my clickable smilies menu... he looks silly!!!

3: er. i had a pot of coffee to myself already today... i made it to share, but my company didn't show up.... and while i am pissed that they didn't call to say a) that they would be late or B) that they were ending up not coming, i guess it's good that i don't have to listen to how everyone is praying that god will heal harrison and make him whole.... :ph34r:

[nymphette]

1: i was wondering what the sunglasses smilie is doing in my post... i tried to write b_) (without the underscore...)

2: good to know...

3: i want to wste my afternoon playing mahjong, but i have too much to finish for the sale!!!!

[sarahkate]

1. I am wondering why there might not be a hockey season next year. I don't pay attention to sports at all. I do like hockey, but only if I am watching it in person. I don't watch it on tv.

2. I think I'm going to buy some new shoes (probably sandals) tonight. New shoes make my feet happy. :)

3. I feel so bad I never got a chance to make anything for Robyn for the sale. I tried and tried to think of things that someone might actually want to buy, but I couldn't come up with anything. I am slowly learning how to do more crafty things, so I am hoping by the next time Robyn is ready to do another sale I will have bundles of fun things for her to sell!

[chunkymonkey]

1. I am wondering why there might not be a hockey season next year.

There are massive rumors of a lock out. :'(


1. riding in buses makes me uncomfortable. Everyone is so uptight.

2. I haven't been able to stop thinking about burning man since it was mentioned in the nervousness cruise thread.

3. seriously now, going to clean the house.

Heheh - It took me just six weeks to crank up 1500 posts... That got me into the top ten posters... :rolleyes: Ah, chain games. ^_^

- I am making good progress on the crochet thing, but I guess it'll have to wait until the next sale... :(

[Cuilanië]

- I've been completely out of touch with the hockey world since moving to France... and I haven't missed it much.

- That's rather surprising given how much I once liked it...

- My brother has the CBC 'Hockey Night in Canada' theme on his cell phone as one of his special rings... :lol:

[Cuilanië]

- I shouldn't be online. I only stopped by to answer PMs... :rolleyes:

- I'm going to have to curtail my online presence. I've used up more than 80% of my time for the month, and there's still 15 days to go. :'(

- Well, I can always go back to using my roommate's high-speed thing, which crashes all the time... <_< Bleh.

[kittymao]

ak! I'm in the city with no food and only bart fare and a package I was supposed to mail but spent it on food instead, and I'll be here another hour! I wanna go hooooome! :'(

On the upperhand, At least I've got this stupid school interview bullysheet out of the way. Ak, what a stresser. I wanna get out of here already.

I got my Bunny back! I'm so happy! He gets to come home and live in the new place with me and Rudy! Yaay!

[Curlita]

My feet are swelling! They don't hurt, but its hard to get them in my shoes and they look funny.

I have to go home and paint after work. We are in Day 4 of the paintathon and we are determined to finish tonight. We only have trim left.

I had a conference yesterday, so my week is already going quickly!

[zanna]

i just got back from taking a horrible practice ap government test.

i'm watching american idol and i'm sad i missed last nights show.

i like reality tv ..oh i'm so ashamed! :blink:

[kittymao]

Yaay! I'm home now. Not only did I get food that me mum bought me, I got to mail my package for WAY cheaper than I originally thought! It just sucks that I feel like I wasted my day.

On teh otehr hand, teh meeting with the Career Counselor was a real uplifting thing. She said I had a great looking resume. Now it's just to get the porfolio and reel off the ground, ta!

Uhm. I think Laurasia takes great pictures.

[Lilac]

My son is walking the thin line here and is about to push me right OVER THE FREAKING EDGE!!!!!!

My grandmother called me tonight and told me that my son's Sunday School teacher will be visting this Saturday, Damn it. I won't be home.

I am in a very FOUL F*CKING MOOD!

[siafu]

aw lilac :hug:

of course raisinets, diet coke, and quesadillas is a good meal.

someone did me a big favor on short notice today. i'm praising them.

i need a nap and to finish cleaning, but i've been in a lot of pain lately. i think this is slowing down the cleaning process.

[Lilac]

Aww, thanks Siafu! :hug:

[kittymao]

I'd clean for you, but My idea of cleaning is usually making a clear path from the bedroom to the bathroom by pushing the crap in the way to one side like a snowplow.

However, I have been getting better. I wash my own clotehs and hang them. I even have a organization system!

when I use it anyway. I haven't really cleaned in teh past month, but that's only cause I'm home very little to do so. You'd think the place would STAY clean.

[chunkymonkey]

I'm angry at tv tonight.

Michael Jackson was indicted. I don't even care anymore.

too bad I can't drink on this diet.

[gwensmom]

I took a yoga class tonight. I have only taken one other one 4 years ago.

My back feels much much better

I have to work tomorrow and I'm supposed to be off :angry:

[siafu]

hey thanks, kitty.

can someone please tell me if they ever catch the creep in lovely bones? i was reading it yesterday, had about half an inch left, and now i can't find it. evidently all i care about is whether the creep is caught.

i put almost everything on the coffee table in a garbage bag. now i gotta go through the bag.

maybe i'll make a new cornbread for dinner. i keep wanting to make regular bread but i have no flour.

[Larrissa]

if you use cornbread mix, always add sugar and salt! it just makes it so much better.

had a fried chicken picnic in the park this afternoon

my new pants are a tad too small and push my bellyfat up all uncomfortably

[Lilac]

It's past my bedtime...so Goodnight all!

Busy day tomorrow. Blah

Have fun tonight!

[Sirius]

I'm not a southparkian, but i made a little person anyway...

I wasn't going to visit nervousness tonight...

[siafu]

rustell, she's super cute.

i'm going to go pick more stuff up. what should my prize be when the living room is picked up?

i think i just want to get this apartment under subjection.

I PM'ed you :) so not to ruin it for anyone else.


I am very conflicted about whether or not to remove myself from a LMAO. I REALLY want to do it, but the host has done something that I feel is SO UNCOOL.

I am so inmotivated to do ANYTHING...even checking my e-mail is taxing :)

In the time it took me to write this siafu already replied to my PM :)

[Sirius]

"So Uncool" you know we are just the type of nosy people to look at all of the objects you signed up for, check out all of the creators, and then research their recent activities....


maybe not "nosy" maybe obsessive....


or time wasters....

1. that was my exact plan.

2. i'm still going to do it.

3. tomorrow is take your daughter to work day...unless she's lying just to get out of school...hmmm.....

[chunkymonkey]

I'm paranoid that it is me. :unsure:

1. I'm waiting for my boo to email me and open up another wonderous topic for discussion.

2. I fancy a game of tennis right now.

3. If I don't get to drive my car within the next two weeks I'm going to pull my hair out.

[siafu]

i already found what i think is a reasonable answer to the tana mystery.

i got the living room all clean.

tomorrow it's my art desk. i need googone for it though. :huh:

It's not you don't worry :).

The situation that has come up was brought to the attention of all the participants via e-mail by another participant.

The 'idea' behind the situation isn't uncool as it is her choice to run it that way, it was her treatment of said participant.

The slighted participant did not want to start negative feelings towards the host only make us aware of the situation, so maybe I should have not even mentioned it in the first place. Bad Tana!! :spank:

**I would go back and edit it out but i
