Three random facts:

[nymphette]

1: i knew it would just be a matter of time before jesus was here... ;)

2: we'll likely scare him away..... <_<

3: ah, well... then there'll be more room for elvis when he finally shows up!!!!

[Jesus the Almighty]

~ It's funny you should mention Elvis, I was talking to him just the other day and he mentioned he'd been feeling "artsy"

~ Most angels actually SUCK at playing the harp. Sad but true.

~ Trying to play skee-ball against anyone is really hard unless I disguise myself. Lucifer is the only one willing to give it a real go, but he's a pansy and can't touch my score!

[kittymao]

Oo. Jesus is talkin' shit. Go Jesus Go!

Uhm. Salami sandwch instead. And for those dirty folks, I mean for lunch, not fr extracurricular activities.

Uhm, and Jesus can pretend I didn't say that. :o

[Jesus the Almighty]

Kittymao, Jesus heard nothing. Just this once. <_<

Jesus talks quite a bit of shit, mostly because he can back it all up.

Jesus doesn't like talking in the third person.

[siafu]

jebus needs a lawyer. that's something.

jebus, i was just writing about you. could you talk about your position on human suffering for a second?

i'm thirsty.

[Cuilanië]

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: <wipes tear>

- Thanks for the encouragement zanna!

- I wasn't very productive today... sigh.

- I had a good dinner, but I'm still hungry. :rolleyes:

[kittymao]

wo. An interactive Jesus. Thsi is cool, but creepy. Kind of like that Subservient Chicken.

Dear jesus I want a pony. and a million dollars. amen.

I have this insane urge to paint cherry blossoms. But have no paint. Maybe tonight.

[kittymao]

as an afterthought, Jesus should go play Fight Club.

[Jesus the Almighty]

Siafu, I will PM you re: human suffering. It's officially on my to-do list, right after putting super glue on GWB's toilet seat.

Kittymao, please direct all requests to the lord through PM. Paper trail required, see signature for details.

Speaking of requests, I actually have some free time today, anyone else.... send away!

RE: FightClub: Jesus was notified of this strange anomaly and this is precisely what I am here to deal with. The two miscreants that started that thread (a certain mpurr and namelessgirl, I believe?) will certainly be dealt with, as well as some of the more "lewd" players thus far. All in good time, my children, all in good time. I've got to get warmed up before I do any serious smiting. Don't want to rip a rotater cuff like last time.

[Larrissa]

oh no! ive gotta hide ... :ph34r: ( i didnt mean thos enasty things! they know that!)

jesus, you are one smile inducing weirdo

:rofl: ahh i love it here

[siafu]

thanks, jebus. 'ppreciate your ministry, Mr. Brother, sir.

the poverty law clinic could be a go.

i just have to check with the bar about how sliding scale fees work.

[zanna]

i just got back from taking my friend up to get their new 5th-wheel.

it looks so fancy and new.

i can't wait to go with them this summer to try it out ..i've never been camping before. :)

[Lilac]

I just got home from work about a half hour ago...been at the site since 7:00 am and I'm exhausted.

I stopped at the grocery store and bought a rotisserie chicken for dinner because I'm just too damn tired to cook.

I miss playing chain games!

[tanagee]

I never realized Jesus was so funny, you'd think with being the son of God and everything that he'd be really serious.

Jesus looks a lot like Jason Lee with a beard. :D

While we have your attention J, could you talk to Allah and have him clarify whether or not he really does want us all to die?

[Jesus the Almighty]

I'll have to get back to you on that Tanagee. I'm not going to be seeing Allah again until this Friday, we're playing racquet ball and then going clubbin'.

I'm actually a pretty funny guy, but mostly it's a defense mechanism that I use to cope with the stress of my position.

I'm trying to get a comedy club built up in heaven, but no one else is really going for it. Or the skee-ball arcade for that matter. <_<

[zanna]

yeh! just pasted 1000 posts this evening! :thewave:

that's the first time i've used those waving smilies.

they're kind of freaking me out :blink:

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i just talked, for an hour and a half, with someone i haven't spoken with in a year

2 there was no fight, we just stopped talking

3 i think it was more my fault than hers, but we're talking now, so i'm sure its good

[medeous]

i talked to my doctor today and was referred to a specialist

i've contacted someone i haven't spoken to in years, in order to tie up some legal loose ends

i sincerely thank god when i go outside in the sun and the sky is a heartbreaking clear blue

[Lilac]

Ok...it's 11:30 EST and there's nobody here playing. There's never anyone here playing anymore when I'm around!

I'm going to petulantly stomp off and pout :angry:

*Lilac stomps away and pouts in the corner.....

[medeous]

is she gone yet? yay, now i can play!

got some new black flip flops tonight

i haven't gotten my tax refund yet...i wonder if i'm going to be audited.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

meh.

we have no phone so we have people hollering at the window to reach us.

everyone is selfish and i'm starting to get really sick of it because NO ONE is really honest.

okay! I'll use flares to get your attention when I drive to bc to see you guys! :D

I have a tumor on my neck but I feel surprisingly sanguine about it...

It will be what it will be and anyway, Jesus is in the house and can heal me!

[medeous]

gak. i'd forgotten what a charming scoundrel he is.

but scoundrel he is and i shall endeavor to remember that.

i want blue to be okay.

[Jesus the Almighty]

*sends healing vibes to cb* love your quote by the way!! Augustine was a cool cat!


I've decided that to really show off my new sandals, I should paint my toenails. I can't decide on color though. Cindy suggested metallic purple, but I think it screams "Pimp" and I'm trying to be low-key. Any other suggestions?


Can the Lord get some AC here?? Dang it's hot!

[Sirius]

It might just be the hethen in me, but Jesus winking, thumbing up and posting is er, unsettling.

my mother's mother day present is not complete, and it is only 4 days away....

it is a more daunting project than i anticipated...

[medeous]

he said that i've changed, i used to be more cordial.

no one uses cordial.

i thought i was being witty and carefree...didn't realize i was coming across snippy and bitter.

[siafu]

cordial could be code for, easy to push over, no?

still thirsty.

time to go cook.

I've been known to drink the occasional cordial.

I've had the feeling for quite some time that 1905 was a crucial year in modern history; now that I see that's when Jesus was born (according to His forum profile), it's pretty well confirmed.

I want to know what book siafu is writing (though probably I've just missed the description).

[Jesus the Almighty]

Silly profile editor would only go as low as 1905 in years, sorry for the inaccuracy.

Honey mustard chicken for dinner is yummy.

Did you know even Jesus sleeps? (with one eye open).
Good night!

[medeous]

nothing like being told you're cranky to make you cranky

i bought 45 baby bottle pops for 14 cents each at target

i can't resist a bargain

It's useful to know Jesus has something in common with dragons.

I have a Bible that has a long appendix describing the biblical 'proofs' that the Second Coming is likely to occur in 1914.

I should really clean my apartment.

[siafu]

no, i hadn't really explained it much. it's about human suffering within the context of tenebrae, which is an observation of Jesus' death. tenebrae is a lot like a funeral for Jesus. the book follows the extinguishing of the candles in the church as a metaphor of faith dimming or being restrained. one of the questions the book is about is what role suffering serves in human life.

i'm writing it in the first person because that's what i'm best at.

i've also been writing about oregon's gay marriage, but i feel the need to wait for a decision to come down from the oregon supreme court and the legislature.

3: i think i hear a cock crowing....

word <_<

I don't want to be awake right now but I can't seem to relax

I miss the early stage of our relationship when the excitement was electric and the optimism blinding.

I need these training wheels to evaporate

I'm trying to get rid of mine, too...

and I don't know where I am, let alone him...

[chunkymonkey]

I'm giving it my best shot. :) thanks.

I'm more effected right now which is lonely.

If I don't wave my arms frantically important things slip by.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I love jebus.

No need for flares, I am just going to re-activate my cell phone.

I can't wait to move.

[kittymao]

Ak! Jesus! He's so cool. And Wonky's got a quote from the Captain. I miss the capatin. Sigh- The forum rocks.

I should take one of those Tylenol PM's already. Blarg.

Just a report and portfolio work to do and the I officially graduate from College. Skeery.

[siafu]

i'm so utterly pissed off. i'm going to go eat BY MYSELF and then lie down.

why do i cook if people aren't going to eat it?

*&%#$^

[kittymao]

Siafu! I'm starving! I'd gladly eat whatever you cooked! It could be bean curd for all I care. Feed me, Seymour!

haa. Silly new Music thread, Now I'm all thinkign in song.

I still havent taken my pills. mrrow.

[hammerquill]

I'll gladly invite myself over to siafu's for dinner, too!

I'd bring dessert, but it'll take a day or so to make, and dinner would probably be cold by then.

I think there's a Great West Coast Nervous Tour beginning to shape up here... Wonky's moving to BC, and on the way there's Zeitgeist and others in that area, a stop in Seattle, and then up across the border. Of course, I've still only met one of the local Nnessers so far.

[siafu]

i made chicken curry and brown rice. and i've been informed that next time i should make white.

i have huckleberry ice cream.

i'd love to come visit you guys down there too. sometimes i play with copper foil and pretend i'm a metal worker but i know it's not the same thing. :P

[kittymao]

This kitty won't be much local for longer.

I don't know. I liek the idea of meeting folks, but at teh same time, I'm so insanely paranoid, I fear something might happen anyway. And what if you hate me? What if you think I'm ugly? What if you're only meeting me just so you say you did it? what if you like me? What if I hate you? What if you stalk me? What if I stalk you? What if you steal my fashion sense? What if I insult you? AAK!

Sob. want to sleep.

Yeah! come down to the studio; we'll make a metalworker of you! :D

I've never tasted huckleberry ice cream.

I'm pretty sure I've eaten huckleberries, but it was a long time ago.

Now I'm thinking of mace cake with fresh berries and sour cream topping. MMMmmmmm..... a little early for really good berries, though.

[chunkymonkey]

what color is huckleberry ice cream?

I imagine it to be a plum color.

Obviously I have no idea what huckleberries look like. :P

The operative word in all that is "insanely"... ;)

I knew we should have arranged a dim sum party or something in SF for all the local Nnessers while Eve was here.

Laurasia was talking about arranging such a thing a while back. I wonder what's become of that. Come to think of it, I haven't seen her around in a while.

[hammerquill]

I didn't know kittymao was leaving the area.

I hope it's because she's moving to be with her bf.

I probably just missed this information through overly cursory forum-browsing.

[Larrissa]

i have downloaded winmx and am stealing music. dont tell jesus :ph34r:

building pads on the sides of my hips, this is okay so long as it doesnt get padded as my mommas

got the cat carrier, but the cat that isnt flying has been sleeping in it

[Larrissa]

*an edit to blank

[thunderstorm_19]

1 pack - jammies, toothbrush, deodorant, clothes for tomorrow, stir fry recipe (in case robs wants me to cook it for dinner), a book, pills

2 must clean bathrooms, water carrots, pick up paint stuff from floor, make bed and turn off comp, plus take out trash/recycling, before leaving

3 going to ikea and michael's while i'm gone

[zanna]

i'm eating a yummy egg and cheese buscuit.

I'm right in the blanket of dawn even as I write this -- thick fingers of morning are reaching right through the window to greet me...

June seems forever away and I am wanting to see him tomorrow! :(

[littlest-bee]

I just ate an entire jam doughnut without licking my lips.

I am knitting baby blanket squares today.

It's been too long since I posted in TRF.

[Cuilanië]

- The hearing in the judge's chambers took about 10 minutes. Straightforward.

- I browsed five different bookstores today.

- I ran the errands I'd been meaning to since Tuesday.

[Cuilanië]

- The date for the second hearing is already set, which is a huge relief. And it's going to be a whole month earlier than I thought it would be.

- A West Coast Nervous Tour sounds good. Can I join? ;)

- I hope cb's tumor is benign! I had one of those six years ago...

[medeous]

i stayed up way too late.
i got up way too early.
i'm suffering from residual crankiness.

[Cuilanië]

- If being told you're cranky makes you cranky, does being told you're not cranky help? ;)

- In a way, it's sad that the hearing only took 10 minutes... We'd built nothing, so there is nothing much to undo...

- I'm listening to my mix CD.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 must clean bathrooms, water carrots, pick up paint stuff from floor, make bed and turn off comp, plus take out trash/recycling, before leaving... the grey stuff is done

2 now i've done the dirty stuff, going to shower!

3 then will eat! (leftover spaghetti)

[Sirius]

I am making my mother a Scrabble board for Mother's Day. I've made and painted the board, and painted in all of the point squares. All of the "empty" squares are being filled in with 2cm X 2cm pictures of her children.

Now that I have gotten into the huge task of filling nearly 200 squares with little pictures it is feeling very egocentric as my mother only has two children, so it is about 100 pictures of my brother and a 100 of me.

Nothing to make you feel self-conscious like 100 different tiny pictures of you staring back at you....

[Cuilanië]

- Hugs from me to cb and Veronica...

- Three songs have been alternating in my head today.

- My mix CD's ending now... Think I'll put on some R.E.M.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 eeeeewwww..... there's a really nasty looking spider in the bathroom

2 i got two pieces of mail today

3 i need to go into that bathroom before leaving, to get stuff, but i don't wanna

[Cuilanië]

- Spiders... IckIckIckIckIckIckIck!!!

- I think Sirius' Mother's Day present is cool. Mothers tend to like that kind of thing.

- I need to decide what I want for dinner. Maybe the Indian food I didn't order yesterday...

3: hey jesus, cure saskatchewan of its crappy weather would ya????

[Jesus the Almighty]

larrissa, jesus supports free downloading, so fear not. just don't be one of those stingy f$%&ers who downloads but doesn't share!

nymphette, i'm sorry about the weather there. if it's any consolation, know that your bad weather has resulted in GREAT weather somewhere else in the world. talk to siafu for more info on my take on human suffering.

with all this martha stewart and michael jackson stuff, it looks like the US is going to have to open a Celebrity Jail. fun times.

this is awesome! I am totally amazed by this idea!

daughter seems to have fractured her arm when her scooter decided to visit the outside of a building, so I wait in voice mail hell for a human to answer the pediatric clinic phone...

1. jesus is funny! :lol: I wonder what kind of music jesus likes to listen to. I'm guessing he is into the raunchy tunes of Lil' Kim... or maybe Barbara Streisand. I probably spelled Bab's name wrong, but I don't care. I don't like her anyway.

2. I am having junk food for lunch.

3. Tonigh I have to rush home after work, eat dinner quickly, and then jump back in the car and drive about 30 miles to go see my bf's little sister's final high school band concert. She is graduating next month. I have a feeling it's going to be pretty boring, and we might have to see Cory's crazy annoying aunt. Agh.

[Larrissa]

went to sleep at 7:30 this morning

decided the garage sale will be a bag sale: 3.00 for whatever you can shove in a grocery bag

i am having a bit of a situation with integrating this me with this other online me. it really weirded me out last night

[Jesus the Almighty]

Jesus likes all sorts of music. Lil Kim is one hot little number, I'll give her that! A bit of a potty mouth but I'm willing to make an exception now and again.

I also like some good oldies, like Barry the Tambourine Man (especially his first album, Hard Knock Wife, circa 1500). Hard to find recordings anymore though.....

I certainly am glad you all got that "disco craze" out of your systems fairly quickly though. The BGs gave me the heeby-jeebies.

[bluecrayon]

I wonder if Jesus liked that old Doobie Brother's song: "Jesus is just all right with me!"

and what does he think about all these pretty boy actors playing him in the movies?

and where the heck is God?

[gwensmom]

I am glad Cuilanie's divorce hearings seem to be going smoothly and ahead of schedule.

I hope Bluecrayon's tumor is nothing serious.

I want to stalk Kittymao and steal her fashion sense. I need some.

Edited to add: Jesus's website is the Vatican, so he must be Catholic. Damn- all those years wasted as a Presbyterian!

[Jesus the Almighty]

cb, God has pretty much "retired". luckily i decided to carry on the family business.

the Doobie Brothers are a slice of alright with me too!

those pretty boys bug me a lot. i may paint my toenails, but i certainly don't moisturize, style my hair, or use mascara. my beard is au naturale!!

Edit: gwensmom: sorry ;) it's never too late to switch, ya know.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 stupid stupid stupid boy. he just called. details in rant thread.

2 i'm seriously behind in getting ready to go.

3 i'm scared to go in the bathroom. that spider was UUUHHHGGGLY.

[Lilac]

Hoping Bluecrayon is all right!

Sending positive vibes to Bluecrayon

Going straight over Jesus' head and asking GOD to take good care of Bluecrayon





*edited because of crappy spelling. :angry:

[chunkymonkey]

what lilac said :)

the word break was thrown around 4 am.

I threw it.

[littlest-bee]

I joined bookcrossing today. I'm el-bee on there and very excited about the whole thing.

I have been scared to come on Nness the last couple of days. I'm slipping away and I'm worried.

The funniest thing I saw today was a dog on television who was having a bath.

[Larrissa]

no matter what else goes on, i have to have my nervous fix.

i heard ibbidy tried to bribe jesus! thats so funny :rofl:

had a dream last night that i was driving around with kmfdmchick, the car was full of all sorts of stuff, and she had hair

[Jesus the Almighty]

ibiddy tried her best, i'll give her that. she's one crafty granny! :P

no dice with bribing me though, sorry.

how long til "lucifer" shows up and we can throw down?? :lol:

[Lilac]

I'll be spending all my free time the next couple days building a chicken coop because of the newest addition to the menagerie:

http://img49.photobucket.com/albums/v150/TamShad/silky_chicken.jpg

I'm getting stranger and stranger every day.

[Larrissa]

CHICKENS!! SO PRETTY!!

i want a farm. hard work and lack of people sounds wonderful.

its good to be strange, more interesting for jesus and all his divine brothers and sisters. i wouldnt want my creations to just stay the same, would you?

[Larrissa]

hot weather, i will destroy the sun! i get all woozy from running around on caffiene and have to sit down, and where do i sit down? at the computer of course. which leads to more posts. i cant stay away

hmmm.

i really like those chickens, their furry feet are excellent

[Jesus the Almighty]

Larrissa, please don't destroy the sun. I put it there for a reason.

Anyone feel like spoofing as Lucifer, Allah, or Mohammed? Ghandi could be fun too. We can all duke it out in the forums!

Lilac, looks like you got some good egg-makers there!

[Jesus the Almighty]

Well Lilac, I learned a little trick from a Voudoun down in Louisiana.... to ensure the productivity of your chickens, you must run around their coop, naked, 7 times, while clucking and waving your arms.

Let me know if it works!

[kittymao]

I would, Jesus, But I'm tired and busy- the Satan part would just wear me out.

I've taken most of teh stuff off my wall in my preparation for The move.
Hammerquill- I am moving with the BF, to Gilroy. This time next week, I'll be there. Ak!

I still have nervous work to do before I leave. Better get crackin!

[zanna]

my stalker has taken up to calling me again on the phone.

i hadn't received a call since sometime before christmas ..but i was awoken last night at 12:30 by the shrill ringing of my cell phone.

oh the things they said ..why do i always have the bad luck?

[chunkymonkey]

stalker... creepy :unsure:

fried rice... cheating <_<

facial nair... stinky :blink:

Cool!

I'm happy for kittymao.

She can still make it up from Gilroy to meet us Bay Area types sometime, if she wants.

I just made a silly little cockscomb out of brass - patinaed brown - for a furniture mock-up a woodworker friend is making. He calls it a "cloud."

[tanagee]

I am thoroughly annoyed...I bought a new universal remote since ours apparently died and it controls everything (DVD, TV, VCR, Receiver) EXCEPT the DirecTV, and THATS the one that is the hardest to work without the remote! ARG!!! :angry:

I wonder if there is something wrong with the DSS box itself...Double Arg!! :angry: :angry:

M&M's or Ice Cream...that is the question.

[jackiethestamper2]

Acoording to some:

Jesus was a prophet

Muhammed was a prophet

I think allah is up there with God

So what's the difference who we make fun of, its all f%$#@!@# chinese to me anyway?

[Larrissa]

its lovely when you forget something wonderful and find it still exists later ...

my mom has a huge sound system she used to use for karoke (!!!) i am so looking forward to jamming to all this new music

it seems to me that this whole "god" thing would be omnipresent and nothing else.

[siafu]

good, larrissa. am i invited over for a friday night dance in my footed pajamas party?

i just had a meeting with my pastor.

i am nervous talking to her, but it went fine. i didn't say anything too stupid. i did say damn once, but she didn't tackle me with a bar of soap or anything.

[Larrissa]

certainly siafu! :D

if i dont say damn in 30 minutes or more, i must be dead.

"poop sheet: a concise compilation of facts or data about a particular subject" shows how mature i am laughing at this.

[siafu]

now i am laughing about it too.

what should i make for dinner?

i'm going to clean the house at six ferkin oclock. it must be love.

[Larrissa]

noodles!

i have lots of food to give to the postman for the food drive

the man is home and WANTS THE COMPUTER oooooo, so i am going now. maybe there will be some people awake around 3am when i come back :)

[chunkymonkey]

ooooh noooooodles.

I can't believe it is 8:30 already. I've been sitting near a window for hours and I missed seeing the day change into night.

It's going to be days before she emails and I suppose I deserve that.

[chunkymonkey]

maybe there will be some people awake around 3am when i come back

:wave:

I don't want to be awake then but I can see I'm headed for a long aimless night.

I still haven't changed my calendar from april to may.

[siafu]

that is a cute little waver, chunky.

sorry about your days-away email.

noodles are a good idea.

[kittymao]

heey, two day old pizza's a good idea too. *scarfs down some more.*

I'm a little over halfway on my report. This one's on Sonny Barger.
Yeah, Go ahead. Ask me who Sonny Barger is.
I dare you. :evil:

Uhm. I should get back to cleaning-er... packing my room.

who's Sonny Barger???

(I already know though)

Where's Jesus???

[medeous]

i'm feeling ambivalent.

things i send are making their way very slowly or not at all through the USPS lately.

i don't want to be a better money-manager, i want someone else to take care of that stuff for me.

[siafu]

i got an email saying that my assignment to the phone job has been terminated b/c my production was too low. i never got a bad review while there. i got the highest dials per hour a couple of times. i stayed on the phone even after other people in my training group left. i'm pretty mad b/c i think it was a copout to say my production was too low. i want someone to explain. /rant

i vacuumed the dining room.

i need to tidy the living room and decide what to fix.

Haven't you read His forum profile? (Or any other standard Christian doctrine...) He's Everywhere.

Today I'm wearing a Frankenstein band-aid on my left thumb:

http://www.davidmbowman.com/RCB/Photos/frankenstein.jpg

It's a fabric band-aid, but it seems to be the end of one sheet stitched to the beginning of the next. Kinda dramatises that little cut on my knuckle. Could be a marketing opportunity there.

my shoulders ache

i'm tired but i don't want to go to bed

[chunkymonkey]

sorry about your days-away email.

thanks :)

was going to watch cries and whispers but having second thoughts. No sense in making myself feel worse.

on the other hand miser does love company.

scrabble anyone?

[nymphette]

1: my fingernails are painted, along with my toenails (a kind of burgundy/coppery color) and i gave myself a facial....

2: i am packed and ready to go.... no kids or hubby for 3 days!!!!! :o

3: whatever shall i do with myself????

[nymphette]

1: YAY!!!!!!!

2: i won't be able to sleep tonight... but i ahve to becuse i'll be driving alone for about 8 hours....

3: hm... 6 hours?? the speed limit finally went up to 110 on the trans canada highway in sask.... so i guess i can push it a bit....

oh yeah.. i'm a little bit excited!!! though i'll miss everyone here!!! if my friend beth, who i am s taying with, has a computer i may pop on to see what's up in my real life... :P

[chunkymonkey]

110? :blink:

Have fun on your trip nymphette!!

I would give anything for a bowl of ripe strawberries

[chunkymonkey]

I'm taking crappy internet quizes

do people actually pay $10 to see the 30 page reports?

If I had that sort of disposable income I'd probably try it once. :ph34r:

[hammerquill]

I assume that's 110kph.

Strawberries. There's an idea.

I need to decide what chocolate-bearing thing to make for my mother for mother's day.

[Chaetognatha]

I wish I could eat some good chocolate
I wish I could eat some good chocolate
I wanna CHOCOLATE (good chocolate)

[siafu]

here's a link to my self portrait (http://www.geocities.com/tisoto/siafu.html).

i'm bummed about the glare on the closeup.

i need to go draw.

[Larrissa]

love the selfportrait! i can forgive you for the glare :D

i was laying watching adult swim and next thing i know, my eyes open and its 7:00 in the morning. :yell: i took away my own night by sleeping through it!

tommorrow is my first garage sale. any suggestions? are you gonna show up?

- You're going to enjoy yourself, that's what... ;) (And yes, that would be 110kph... still too damn slow if you ask me. The T-Can's flat and straight for the most part, the speed limit ought to be up to 130kph, like it is in France.)

- Theresa rocks.

[Cuilanië]

- I'd show up for Larrissa's sale if I could. It would take me several thousand miles in the right direction...

- I haven't had coffee yet because I haven't summoned the will to clean the coffee pot yesterday, and now I have to do it before I can make more coffee.

- I need my coffee.

[Cuilanië]

- I wore heels all days yesterday and today my feet and back hurt. Damn sciatic.

- Last night I dreamt that I was in ballet class and suddenly I could do the split and stretch effortlessly over my legs like I never used to...

- I also dreamed I was secretly the leader of a resistance movement and a widely respected writer at the same time, and spending time in a secret hideout...

[Cuilanië]

- My dreams are getting more and more vivid. I remember them more, too.

- In the resistance-leader dream, I didn't look like myself. I looked rather like an Egyptian or something.

- I made only a half-pot of coffee because I'm all out... :( Actually, I have more on hand, but it's not the same blend and probably crap...

[zanna]

congrats cuilanië !! :)

we had another bomb threat at school today ..this time it was quite a big deal. all the high schools here in our city are under heavy gaurd today because of threats made for some students to bring guns to school and start shooting. :o

i wasn't even suppose to go to school today, but when i heard that everyone was being forced out of the school, i came anyway with my video camera in hand. we're now back in the school and it's 3rd period so i decided to come post about all the excitement.

bonus : also this morning this kid from our school was arrested for having 2 loaded shotguns while being pulled over for speeding on the way to school. talk about paranoia running high around here! :unsure:

[sarahkate]

1. Hurray for Eve! Congratulations! :D

2. I might go to the Tulip Festival (http://www.albanyevents.org/tulip_festival/index.cfm) in Albany tomorrow, but it depends on the weather and other things.

3. I got to work early today so now this day feels like it's going so slow. I hate that work makes me wish for time to fly by. It's not good when you wish for hours of your life to disappear quickly.

[sarahkate]

1. Yikes - that's scary! I'm glad you are ok Zanna! You remind me of Chloe on the show Smallville, bringing your video camera to school to catch all of the action on tape! :P

2. The biggest crisis I can recall when I attended my tiny school was when they would bring drug sniffing dogs in to search students' lockers. And of course there were occasional fights, but never anyone bringing weapons of any sort to school as far as I know.

3. I think there were only about 120 students in my graduating class.

[zanna]

wow. i graduate in 3 weeks and we've got something like 340 students in my graduating class.

yeah ..i'm never anywhere without my video camera ..you never know when it will come in handy.

the office and whole school is packed with parents trying to get their kids and take them home ..i swear, everyone's so paranoid. they've just made an announcement saying that no one is allowed to go to the office to call home or get an early dismissal. well that's just great.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 glad zanna's ok...

2 back from my sister's place...

3 had a TV marathon last night... :)

[moonandlion]

- zanna´s post makes me wish we had more control about who owns weapons . and for what reason - and less paranoia ... so to stop owning weapons. good luck zanna, glad you are ok.

- i really really loved "bowling for columbine"

- things i ate since 2.30 pm: half salmon sandwich - half tuna sandwich - one pack pims raspberrry/chocolate cookies - half pack chocolate-covered sticks - half a plate of mushroom ravioli with tomato sauce - one strawberry - in that order

[Larrissa]

i cried heartily at bowling for columbine

i dont understand where we are headed

...

[kittymao]

gots ta go to the post office to mail some goodies. yeayer.

Ha- I remember Columbine. I remember the day after, when I walked down the hall and PEOPLE MOVED for me and avoided eye contact. All us alternative kids were so CONFUSED by the sitaution, we all spent lunch together hoping no one would lash out at us.

On a seperate note, we did have several bomb scares, but nothing real- though there was the one tiem a Hairspray can exploded in a locker, that was pretty nuts.
We were more scared of gangs and shootings than anything.

[kittymao]

uhm- I'm way more packed than I originally expected. I don't have much left now- mostly art stuff. And that will go on the last day cause I'm still in school. Which reminds me, I need to do some ATC's and stuff.

Uhm. There was a string quartet in the train station and they were playing so beautifully, they made me cry. Well... that and I wish I could still play with other people. Anyone need a Trumpet player for an ensemble? I can read sheet music.

Gwark. Thus ends me.

[zanna]

thanks guys :)

i finally got my early dismissal for my doctors appt at 1:45 ..it was like pulling teeth trying to fight my way around in the office through the swarms of irate parents and 'sick' kids.

well, it's been an ..interesting day. mostly weird. kinda strange. but it shall be memorable. although ..it's not actually over yet ..who knows what's in store ..i'm off to see.

[moonandlion]

I have twnty more minutes until I finish work and go home

I´ll have a shower and dinner with my boy and then we´ll be off to a concert by Swedish DISFEAR

I hope we come back home early, I have a long day tomorrow and a lot of things to say to him

[tanagee]

Boomtown Rats "I don't Like Mondays" was on the radio this afternoon...very eerie coincidence with zanna's post today. (The song was on the "All Request Flashback Lunch" and if zanna was in L.A. and not Georgia I would have thought it wasn't a coincidence.)

I went to high school in the late 80's, I think times were still slightly more innocent then.

The biggest things to happen at my school were when there was a huge drug bust involving jr high kids, some adults and a bunch of kids at my school; and when a drunk old lady took out the sides of all the buses waiting outside the school.

[zanna]

well i do wish i was in l.a. not ga, does that count? that was funny ..the drunk old lady taking out the sides of the buses. haha.

man, the whole city's under heavy paranoia ..oh the rumors and gossip!

it's friday! tomorrow i've got to work at this jazz/blues concert fundraiser for my school. my teacher told me i was going to be stage manager for the duration of the night (5-11:30). i hope i can pull it off!
:unsure:

[bluecrayon]

Home from work, untying my laces and untying my spirit...

I'm going to go see the original uncut Godzilla tonight -- by myself.

Which is not so bad -- I always know where I am with myself... ;)

[chunkymonkey]

I can't wait to post scans formt he picasso atc lmao. They are amazing.

I like to go to the movies alone, especially mid day mid week.

friday!! weeeee!!!

[Curlita]

I'm grumpy and don't want to be at work today. I'm not in a good place for customer service.

We went out for breakfast this morning and I had a yummy scramble, sausage, and corn cakes. Yum!

I think my boobs are still getting bigger. I'm afraid.

2 i went to michael's today, and also to 'the paper boutique'.

3 lately, it's been colder than usual in my basement. grh

[Larrissa]

i have spent all day sorting and copying all these darned computer files ive collected for years. argh! the cd burner program freezes the computer 1 out of every three attempts

my momma called me last night at midnight, she had an epidural shot for her chronic pain, was feeling mighty peachy, and did so much stuff on wednesday that she said it felt like a car had run over her repeatedly for hours.

jesus, are you listening? why must you put people through so much pain?

[medeous]

someone attempted to abduct a child from my daughter's school today.

she usually walks to her godmother's house and stays there until i pick her up about an hour later, but today they got out early and her teacher drove her home because she was scared.

she called me at work, crying...i got someone to cover my class and brought her back to work with me.

bonus: this is not going to help her seperation issues.

[Sirius]

eek. (my official response to medeous's post)

is medeous going to play her scrabble word?

i cleaned stuff today. yeah!

[medeous]

medeous didn't know she was in a game

medeous is going out of town for the weekend

medeous is speaking in third person

[chunkymonkey]

The whole neighborhood is grilling up a storm

day 2

I recieved a non-invitation to a wedding today

[chunkymonkey]

scrabble is equally fun and frustrating

whatever money I make tonorrow I'm spending on some new clothes

now that I am in a better mood I know that what I said 3 days ago was not just me having a bad day.

[siafu]

i have decided that, yes, guacamole doritos are good.

i'm about to make a naked woman atc: think botero or botticelli

i'm making tuna sandwiches for dinner.

What is a 'non-invitation'? We're getting married but we don't want you to come?

1. Going out for pedicures and drinks with a group of moms from my mom's group.

2. I used to ask my hubby to 'baby-sit' or 'watch' Megan, but I realized she's HIS kid too so I now say..."Can you he home so I can go out?"

3. My social anxiety is flaring up...I am trepidacious about this evening.

[gwensmom]

EEK! medeous!

EEK! zanna!

I hope Nyphette is having an awesome time on her "vacation"

[chunkymonkey]

What is a 'non-invitation'? We're getting married but we don't want you to come?

oh it's my aunt being the baby that she is. We aren't talking, but for no particular reason. She's crazy ass stubborn. I didn't come back to her house 2 christmas's ago when I said I would. Oh look out... a pox on my house. Anyway she invites my mom. My mom thought it was strange that I didn't say anything about an invitation so she asks me about it today. I didn't get one. So she gets upset for me (and honestly I could care less) and calls my aunt to ask why I was invited. My aunt gives her this long sob story ending in, "I would have invited her but I know she won't come. Carol, it's really important to me that she (meaning me) be at my wedding." click. This is all so my aunt can hold it over my head for the rest of her life, and whine about it to all her followers, that I refused to go to her wedding. WASN'T INVITED!

And that's what I call a non invitation. Well a nonvitation... sounds better. :rolleyes:



my family is full of drama queens.

I wonder where christine is.

Thinking about her because I'm thinking of shaving my head. :rock:

[MelangeArtiste]

I adore white lilacs.

My barcode scanner finally arrived yesterday and I am starting to catalog my library the easy way.

Hey, SK--I haven't been to the Tulip Festival in Albany since I was two years old, and I don't remember anything about it except that there is a photo of me being dismayed that tulips don't smell like real flowers.

Going to set up a yahoo group and have never done it before.

Today at work I held an event for 12 elderly women and 15 fifth graders. They wore me OUT! :blink:

[joliejoliebobolie]

I'm helping at the Strawberry Festival parade tomorrow by walking alongside a trailer that's carrying the wrecked car of a young woman who was killed by a drunk driver. Her parents are hugely involved in drunk driving issues.

I wonder what everyone's doing for Mothers Day...

In one of my dreams the other night, a boy was throwing wadded up paper at the back of another boy in front of him - while the teachers back was turned - I totally fronted him out & yelled that he'd better stop that RIGHT NOW and STOP BULLYING him! I woke myself up...I've got bullying on the brain these days.

[hammerquill]

This evening, I washed my car.

It needed it.

Also this evening, while making dinner, I managed to knock a full wineglass and a full (open) winebottle onto the floor.

[hammerquill]

The glass broke. Now I need another wineglass; I only had two.

The bottle didn't break (whew!) and only spilled a little.

The smash of the glass was so energetic, though, that the whole kitchen was splashed with wine, and until I cleaned it, it looked disturbingly like a Hollywood crime scene.

[zanna]

it's really cold in my house.

i just got done writing in my journal the day's events ..

i suppose i'm off to bed for the night.

[Sirius]

Now that hammerquill has cleaned his car, he has to clean his floor. Always something to clean.

My anti-virus program is scanning my computer. Thus everything is running in slow motion.

I was productive today, but not near as productive as I had intended to be.

[hammerquill]

I have decided that McAfee AntiVirus is as bad as having a virus on my computer, in most respects. I finally had to uninstall the damn thing.

I have had a bit of a sore throat since last night, but no other cold/flu-like symptoms.

I had intended to go shopping this evening for ingrediments for something for my mother for mother's day, but I haven't fully settled what that something'll be.

[Sirius]

i had to uninstall the mcafee firewall for the same reason HQ...

i got so excited about my mother's day gift that I gave it to her today...

she liked it, but didn't realize it was a functional scrabble board that she could actually play on. :huh:

She popped in for a moment earlier this evening.

She also, in true Christine form, posted an answer to a thread between the time I looked at it (when she wasn't even listed on the board) and the time I clicked "post reply". Fastest keyboard in the West.

I have been listening to David McCullough's Truman at work, and T. C. Boyle's The Tortilla Curtain at home (while cleaning or doing dishes) and reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius on paper.

[tanagee]

Back from my Mom's Night Out.

Toes are pretty pink, got a manicure too...

Out of 6 mom's, who do you think had an allergic reaction to the lotion and now has hives covering her arm from wrist to elbow?
Yes...ME!!

[tanagee]

went out for dinner and drinks afterwards at a local bar that has a live jazz trio.

Had a lemon drop martini named The Ella Fitzgerald...yummy!

Have a little buzz going...WHEEE!!

[nuKKe]

Amazon UK sucks badly when you try to order anything a little more obscure than LOTR. Been waiting for 'The Man Without Past's soundtrack for over a month and it is still yet to be shipped.

1 this news i posted yesterday, occurred between the times my sister and i were driving down that road when she dropped me at home after i'd spent the night at her place, and the time she drove back along that road to go to work

2 the real estate agent. is coming. here. on monday morning. this doesn't feel good.

3 i had a good cry about that late last night/early this morning.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 clover stood in her litter box, with her butt stuck outward, and peed on the floor.

2 i did not see this happen, but i have seen my mother cleaning the aftermath.

3 i haven't moved since i was 3 - except when i "moved" when i was away at uni... but then, i had this place to come back to...

[zanna]

i've never moved my entire life ..i've always lived in the same house, on the same street, in the same town. :(

so i've pretty nervous about the upcoming fall when i'll have to move away for the first time to go to college.

i slept in til 11:30 am today. yeh! :)

[Cuilanië]

- I've never stayed under the same roof for more than five years. My father got transferred around a lot.

- Hugs to Ali - it's not easy to see your home vanish. Not even after you've left it.

- I've been doing crochet all afternoon. :)

[thunderstorm_19]

1 almost everything has been taken off the fridge (not that it was overloaded with stuff before, it certainly wasnt!), and one of the garbage bins is gone from the kitchen. (the one in the cupboard under the sink remains)

2 i am eating a 1/2 pint of blackberries

3 i just had a total emotional/stress breakdown, crying on the kitchen floor and fighting with dad (side effect), and dug my nails into my palms, now they hurt

[bluecrayon]

I just spent 45 minutes or so bumping up everything in sight...

I am feeling optimism today

I am going to visit hammerquill later...

- I just ran to the Asian supermarket to get stuff I forgot yesterday.

- Today's was cold and wet... I'm thinking of those poor elderly veterans, outside for the commemoration ceremonies in such weather.

- I feel like drinking beer today. It's not the weather, it's just... well, something has to distinguish the weekend from the other days... :P

[tanagee]

Toaster burnt my bagel again...

Ate 2 chunks of frozen chocolate chip cookie dough instead.

Thinking of taking Megan to the beach...except I am afraid Greenpeace will show up and try to roll me back in to the water.

1 i love my sister and how rational she can be/is being...

2 agent coming at 8:99 am monday... 8 am... hope i'm not supposed to be up.

3 i love blackberries

[bluecrayon]

I think a giant slumber party woud be so much fun!

Maybe we could have a virtual one and just keep posting facts to each other all night long!

[Cuilanië]

- heheh I like that idea, cb...

- I'm a complete and utter dork. I practically tore the skin off the palm of my hand try to twist off a bottle cap (it wasn't the twist-off kind...).

- On top of it all, the beer's not cold enough yet. :rolleyes:

[Bugitha]

1. I miss checking in here every day.

2. My new job is directly next door to a scrap booking shop . . . and I have a whole hour to fill at lunch . . . and the lady at the scrap store told me to feel free to bring my lunch over and hang out in the work shop area and read magazines off their rack or whatever . . . oh dear, this could be expensive.

3. BTW, I don't really scrap, but I love to shop at those stores for card and handmade book supplies. Well, I don't scrap yet.

[Cuilanië]

- I used to work not very far from a store with a reasonable arts & crafts section. yah.

- I suspect that I'm slightly off my rocker.

- You'd all agree with me if you ever heard me meowing along to Offenbach's most spoofed melody ever (I forget the title...)

[siafu]

i got a box from my best friend for my birthday. we've been friends since i was eleven and she was 12. my mother told her to take good care of me when we went to school camp, and she took that job seriously all this time. she doesn't understand how i can move away from my parents or know that i am gay, but she loves me all the same. she sent me an andrea bocelli cd (which is perfect) and a lovely shirt. these are the perfect presents that only someone who loves you can send. so i'm sitting here listening to andrea and thinking about that odd and deep friendship.

:big hugs to alison: it will be better soon.

:big hugs to amylyn: do you need any help we can provide?

zanna! goodonya!

[Larrissa]

headaches are rare, but i have one.

garage sale: lots of people, they took lots of stuff, i made 50 bucks, in three hours. not so bad

the nephew spilled plain milk and chocolate milk in four different places.

[hammerquill]

Mangoes are messy.

My icecream maker is making chocolate icecream.

My next-door neighbors have put up a hummingbird feeder where I can see it out my kitchen window.

[bluecrayon]

Life is messy, not just those mangoes...

headaches are not rare for me, but they are manageable...

I AM getting ready to go see hammerquill -- I'm just moving in slow motion.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i have consumed nearly a whole bottle of guinness

2 i have 6 blackberries left

3 i bought printer inks, rubber cement, and earth tones Sharpies - - i couldn't quite bring myself to buy the $15 set of sharpies that had 10 or 12 or 15 or however many it was in it... though i will cave eventually. this pack of 5 was $5.50ish. purdy.

[chunkymonkey]

I love sharpies

I just exfoliated so my skin is super smooth

day 3

- I have a confession.

- The Evil French Monkey is actually my ex.

- He's the one who got me into the habit of doing the monkey act whenever I'm gloating over something...

1. I have come to school for the sole purpose of playing on the internet for a little bit.

2. School is only a five minute bike ride from home, but it still takes more effort that having the internet in my living room.

3. I am FREEEEEEE! (That is, school is over and I am in my "planned unemployment" phase until June.)

[gwensmom]

I am a decluttering MACHINE!

Today I emptied a very huge box of papers and spent the afternoon shredding old bank and credit card statements, medical info and other stuff from the 80's and early 90's. The oldest thing I found was a tax return from 1979.

I found three checks I had written to my dad (who is deceased). I kept them so I could look at where he endorsed it on the back. I also have some golf score cards he kept when he was teaching me to play golf. My dad was the best ever! :wub:

[gwensmom]

I found the bill from when Gwen was born.

I found my acceptance letter and grades from graduate school.

I found the acceptance letter from the one and only magazine in which I was published.

1. I should go home and eat supper.

2. The Boy should be back from staff training in an hour or so.

3. It'll be our two-month next week.

The oldest thing I found was a tax return from 1979.

I have the bank statements from my mom opening the account when I was born in 1974.

Worse yet, if you stopped by I could get them for you in under 2 minutes because i know precisely where they are filed.

I thought about throwing them away last year, then I had the incredibly stupid {for those who do not like "stupid" used so loosely, please chose a more appropriate word of your choice} thought of "Hm, I've had them for thirty years it seems wrong to throw it away now..."

[Sirius]

In all of my years of schooling (elementary, secondary, undergraduate, special certifications, now graduate school) I am currently in a group with the worst group participant I have ever had to share time with.

I was rude to her today, and I thought I'd feel bad, but I didn't. It felt good to verbalize her lack of contribution to the group.

It isn't only that she doesn't contribute, it is that she doesn't pay any attention and then calls to ask "What are we going to do about X?" When we had all, in a group already discussed and agreed to a decision. And, she literally interrupted an on topic dicussion to ask a participant about his car. Just started talking over the on topic stuff. I have a whole list of reasons she makes me want to scream.

[siafu]

that's funny, Sirius.

i think i am not going to the hootenanny.

my partner insists on taking phone calls when we are supposed to be going out the door. :(

[Larrissa]

first night in forever i get the computer all evening, and no ones here to play with

having a chocolate attack, butterfinger almond joy and kitkats. pms is an excellent excuse for candy

took the mp3 player off random play, and lots of songs ive heard only once or twice are coming up

[Curlita]

Tonight my husband fixed vegan veggies in peanut sauce with noodles for dinner. It was yummy.

Afterwards we had homemade chocolate ice cream. It was also yummy.

It's hard to get up off the sofa after having a yummy dinner like that and get enthused about finishing laundry and preparing a breakfast casserole for the next day.

[chunkymonkey]

I'm chomping on ice cubes

I was cleaning my closet out today and discovered that almost half of my clothes have paint on them.

I have a mosquito bite on my finger that is driving me mad.

[tanagee]

Once again I got a sunburn... :evil:

I slathered SPF 45 all over Megan at least once an hour, but did I have enough brains to at least put it on me ONCE? NOOOOO!!!

To top it off, the color is really uneven and I have a completely white spot on my upper arm where Megan was holding on to me while I was holding her. (she had sunblock on her hands from trying to 'help' put it on herself.)

[Larrissa]

need to mention this:
today lots of people came over for the garage sale, and i didnt nearly pass out with anxiety! i blame this lack of social distress on nervousness and all the conversating ive done here. i hadnt talked to someone other than the man for four years.

what the hell am i gonna send lobstergirl for the WTA??

i have a lighter that the code on it is stamped "G0D" (thats a zero in the middle) i like it alot :)

[Larrissa]

last time i was in colorado, my dad and i snuck into the sugar factory. its been closed since the 70's maybe? and its full of pigeons and overgrown plants. it was so much fun sneaking around and trespassing with a grown adult. abandoned buildings are awesome

the cats are causing destruction in the kitchen ...

i should probably go see whats going on

If you are ever at the beach with Brian do not ask him to put sunblock on you.

I had a handprint on me forever ashe had rubbed up with his hand but didn't put any beside it, so i had an extremely clear handprint that was the unburnt area of my skin. Perhaps he was marking his territory.

Wait a minute, why are you at the beach with Brian putting sunblock on you? Stop it.

[hammerquill]

I finally got to meet bluecrayon.

bluecrayon in real life is like bluecrayon online, but more so.

We didn't have much time to play with metal at the studio, but at least got a few ATCs done.

[hammerquill]

I also got a bunch of work done on the coffee table before cb arrived.

I'm actually a bit sanguine about how it'll turn out once again.

Having got home late, I've decreased my level of ambition for Mother's day desserts.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 it is mother's day, and i hope all the moms reading this have a good one!

2 my mom and sister went for a hike early this morning, and i was left in bed... and didn't get up until 20 or so minutes ago (it's 10:07)

3 i know i had a dream, i know it was about graduation, some friends and past friends were in it, it had something to do with rollercoasters, and travelling around the city to see as many people in one night as we could...

[medeous]

happy mother's day!
i'm going to brunch after church.
we're all dressed girly...except my dad, who insisted on being a guy.

[reddirtrose]

this is my first mother's day without my mom :'(

it is a beautiful day


the iris are in full bloom

aw, Mary!

and conversely, my own mother so successfully cut me out of her life, I couldn't call her today even if I wanted to...

and I want to. :(

:hug: aw cb :'(
not sure if I figured out how to use the quote button

I am grateful for my nervousness friends

I look forward to meeting some of you face to face sometime somewhere.....

[bluecrayon]

On my way to meet hammerquill yesterday, I got a flat tire driving across the Bay Bridge and had to drive almost the entire span on my rim -- it was hairy.

and once I got a new tire put on, I realized I had forgotten the directions to his studio and had to wing it into my memory to find him...

but 3 hours late, I DID find him -- he's wonderful, his studio is awesome and Eve is a lucky girl! :)

[bluecrayon]

and reddirtrose -- I'm easy to find in this corner of the coast! ;)

[Curlita]

Hugs to reddirtrose and bluecrayon on mother's day.

When mom's day first started, people wore a pink carnation to honor their mom if she was alive and white to honor their mom if she was gone.

When I woke up I found that my husband had left me a card and flowers in honor of my first mother's day.

[Cuilanië]

Good wishes for Mother's Day to all you mothers! :)

Eve knows she's a lucky one... :wub:

I'm off to call my mother and grandmothers.

[Curlita]

My best friend from college and her husband and four kids are supposed to be coming to see me for brunch. I haven't seen them in 5 years.

They are an hour late and they are supposed to catch a flight back to Arizona at 3:30.

I'm trying hard not to cry, as that would be embarrassing when they did arrive.

Bonus: I'm also very hungry.

[Bugitha]

1. Happy Mother's Day to all you Nervous moms and mom-to-be!

2. My arm has been bruised for the last 6 weeks. I can't decide if its the same bruise or if I keep re-injuring myself in the same place. To my shame, I do have a habit of walking into things. heh.

3. I cleaned like a maniac from 6:30 am until noon so that I can just kick back and enjoy the rest of the day.

[reddirtrose]

I live in an old adobe

I have water rights on the acequia

I'm a lucky girl B)

[Larrissa]

i am upset :angry:

ranted about it because of lack of humans present to talk to :violin:

happy mothers day all you beautifull mommies and moms to be :wub:

[hammerquill]

I want to wish a Happy Mother's Day to cb, Sarah Gwensmom, Sarah sock monkey, Robyn, Erica, Julie, and all other relevant parties.

I keep making the mistake of believing the instructions on my ice cream maker.

I'm about to go over to bring my mother chocolate.

[Sirius]

1.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

2. No, that didn't help.

3. Oh well.

Thank you.


Too tired for any facts today.....

[Skilyne]

I love this idea! Random facts about people are quite interesting...here are mine:

1. I am very picky about what socks I wear. I will only wear "Hanes Her Way" with the pink stripe and grey heel and toe.

2. I love to wear winter scarves...I'll wear them even if it is not cold out.

3. I think that men's hands are one of the most attractive features they have. A man's hands can instantly attract or repel me.

[Larrissa]

i just called my cat "mr. squishy" on accident

been checking back in here between every activity in hopes of seeing some activity, but nope. apparently half of the members died last night

i crack myself up. at least theres that

[kflorathorne]

1.) I am more like all of you then I realized and it makes me feel fuzzy.

2.) The wheel I bought for Hamtaro today doesn't fit even though the box said it was compatible with my cage.

3.) I ran out of Q-Tips this morning and my ears feel very yucky even though they were just cleaned yesterday like everyday when I get out of the shower. Just not having any makes them feel dirty.

[bluecrayon]

feeling the distance between us profoundly suddenly like a glass of light bursting on my skin...

I don't even think I can spin into bluecrayon enough to subdue the sadness...

so I'm just gonna go ride my bike into the path of the sun as it slides down into the there I can't seem to get to...

Yikes!!! I gotta get over there and see what the theme is! I need to send something, too!!!!

I caught a 12 inch trout this weekend.

I got the coop finished.

[Lilac]

Goodnight Larrissa and everyone. I'm off to bed.

Got the air conditioner installed yesterday so my room will be nice and cool.

My son is CRANKYYYYYYYY

[zanna]

wow ..my first post on the boards today ..

i feel quite empty when i don't at least get a few posts in for the day :D

i was out of the house for most of today though and last night i worked at the jazz/blues concert for school, so i've got my excuses..

oooh, me too. Hands are the first thing I notice. Well, practically.


1. I have been feeling not quite up to par for some time now and am wondering if I should go to the doctor or if its just my hypocondriacal tendencies getting the better of me.

2. I made some little books today.

3. I went to the museum today.

[chunkymonkey]

this is going to be a long week, I can just tell

weekend did not go according to plan

I need to go stuff my sorry's in a sack and kick the crap outta them.

[hammerquill]

The coffee table is coming along:

http://www.davidmbowman.com/RCB/Nervousness/table1-18x16scrap.jpg
http://www.davidmbowman.com/RCB/Nervousness/edgeon.jpg

Those will be mounted vertically in large quoins supporting each end of the table.

The top will be glass.

I don't know what color to make the rest of the supports.

[chunkymonkey]

:o that table is looking so cool hammerquill!!

I'm having one of those nights where no matter what project I touch I just can't get the juice flowing.

my head hurts or I'd read.

I wear men's underwear sometimes

[zanna]

blah. i'm at school again.

only 3 more weeks left though..

i'm sitting here forcing myself to do the 6 assignments my government teacher emailed us over the weekend which i did not have time to do :angry:

[thunderstorm_19]

1 my parents and the real estate agent are upstairs

2 clover is behind me, and she was here first, so i am having to sit quite far forward in the chair

3 gully is on my bed

[bluecrayon]

and I got to see these coffeetable pieces of hammerquill's and they are even better in real life...

I seem to have breathed back into myself this morning and found the point of balance on the distance beam...

but I had a long night.

[nymphette]

1: i am home.... i had a good weekend....

2: http://www.canada.com/regina/leaderpost/ne...58-51f4901fbf2a (http://www.canada.com/regina/leaderpost/news/story.html?id=206db8fb-bcc9-46de-ac58-51f4901fbf2a) :o

3: it's mostly factual- they got it closer than the tv guys who did the commercial for the telemiracle..... :)

[medeous]

i am out of town again next weekend, staying here. (http://www.hotelphillips.com)

this is going to fast forward some of my plans, but i am fairly ambivalent about that.

i've never stayed in a hotel this nice...i don't think i'll pack in one of my daughter's old backpacks this time. :)

[nymphette]

1: heh heh!!! i used julian's teletubbies backpack on the weekend for all my bathroom stuff/blowdryer/etc.... :) good to know i'm not as weird as chris thinks i am!!! :D

2: i really wish i had been here for the interview for hte newspaper- it really bugs me when people are misquoted!!!! but still, a better job than the TV spot!!!

3: people have been calling me this morning already saying 'harrison's on the front page of the leaderpost!!!' ... yeah.... and at 7:30 am, i was actually, surprisingly, still ASLEEP!!!! i'm sure the paper will still be there at a more reasonable hour- even at 8:30!!!! <_<

I agree. Completely. Yes. :ph34r:

- I hope Sirius is OK... Not more trouble with that bad classmate?

- I'm looking forward to seeing the completed coffee table. :D

- :yay: :yay: :yay: for Robyn! And SUCH a cute face Harrison has...

[sarahkate]

1. That's great that Harrison's story is on the front page of the paper! He is so adorable. It's so hard to imagine him being sick since he looks so happy and healthy.

2. Speaking of healthy- I am not healthy today. I spent about 4 hours out in the yard on Saturday pulling weeds and raking. I think I am allergic to some of the weeds because I started coughing when I was pulling them out. By the end of the day my throat was really sore and my head was all stuffy and I just felt icky. Yesterday I was sick all day too.

3. I woke up this morning & still felt like crap so I actually called in sick to work. After calling in I checked my work voice mail and found out that one of my coworkers already called in, which meant I had to come in to work because I am the only other person who knows how to do her job. Ugh. So now I have to sit here for 8 hours all sick and miserable. Grr.

[zanna]

i pulled out an old mix cd someone made me from a trade like 3 years ago this morning.

it's refreshing to listen to stuff i had long forgotten about.

the first track caught me totally by surprise ..it's tom waits and allen ginsberg reading his poem 'america'. it was really strange ..i don't remember ever hearing the track when i used to listen to the cd, but just a few weeks ago my friend introduced me to allen ginsberg's work and i absolutely love it. what a very nice surprise. i'll have to let my friend hear it.

[Cuilanië]

- Haven't even had coffee yet. The headache is stalking me.

- I haven't eaten anything much worth mentioning, either.

- Monday blues suck when you don't have a job...

[Sirius]

1. She will be, she is suffering from "Murphy's Law" "When it rains it pours" and all the other euphemisms and cliches for "when one sucky thing happens, several sucky things like to jump on board and attempt to make things as miserable as possible."

2. ...but I am a cheerful optimist....so I know everything will turn out fine, dandy and peachy-keen.

3. I am also impatient so I wish that optimist future would start ten minutes ago...

and they suck when you do! ;)

and they suck when they wrap you up in their claws and keep you from seeing past them...

but having conquered a whole mess of them this weekend, I am blocking those bad blues from my emotional computer...

only good blues need whisper in my head.

[amylyn]

My house is as clean as i can get it.

only because i am procrastinating doing homework.

i am hungry for tamales. (i don't like tamales, but am for some reason craving them?)

[zanna]

did you know you have to have a permit from the city to be able to have a car washing fundraiser?

yeah, i'm trying to organize one for this upcoming saturday and it sucks.

i think i've talked too much within this last hour of my life ..my mouth is feeling, um, pasty.

[siafu]

i'm posting in this thread so it will be bumped and continue as a catalyst for world peace.

:hug: to sarahkate. i hope you feel better soon.

i want to go make a pot of coffee.

[bluecrayon]

I am sitting in the doctor's office again, tooling around on my friend's laptop, waiting -- always waiting for some test, question, hypothesis or result...

I just read the most chimerical letter from siafu! Which made me feel less alone sitting in this room with year old magazines and charts of the throat up on the walls...

I am somewhere between annoyed and frazzled -- with a detour into contentment getting siafu's letter -- wishing for a resolution to the neck riddle. :unsure:

[Larrissa]

i have to say it again, you all rock

its the motherinlaws fault i have these huge scary fake nails and an absurdly relaxed mood after a really long foot massage and pedicure. first time and only time for such pleasantries. its messing up my typing.

fancy fancy, the fancy way of living does not interest me

[zanna]

i am a little sad.

i am a little happy.

i am a whole lota confused.

[nymphette]

1: i think it is something in the air.... i am sooo tired and feeling blue.... hugs to everyone else having an off day..... :(

2: i want to play chain games today but just sitting here and reading a couple of the threads has worn me completely out....

3: i am worried....

[siafu]

would everyone feel better if i stood on the chair and pretended to sing like andrea bocelli at the top of at least one of my lungs?

yay! blue got my letter. :)

coffee's ready.

[Skilyne]

1. I am feeling very tired and sad today...maybe you are right Nymphette...it may be in the air.

2. I have an unexplainable crush on one of my co-workers.

3. One of my favorite bands is "Him."

[nymphette]

1: what is the moon doing tonight??? t hat affects people.... i dont 'THINK it is full though...??...

2: i want to hear siafu singing!!!! :D

3: i'd join in but the only thing i can sing with this sore throat is dreams by the cranberries.... ;) i know this because i sang, alone in my car, all the way home from calgary (7 hour trip.. :P)

:lol:
