Three random facts:

[Curlita]

I have not taken the time to read about any new CD making protocol, but I have a feeling it would make me cranky.

I just finished giving a tour for 15 pre-schoolers.

Now I have the rest of the day to take care of mindless, piddly tasks.

[MelangeArtiste]

I'm glad Zanna is OK.

Writing marketing materials is more rewarding than managing a room full of detail minded people who don't understand that I don't do details.

"Whatever" is a perfectly valid answer to a yes or no question.

[Skilyne]

I agree that "whatever" is a valid answer.

I recieved the first batch of ATC's for my NYC exchange today, and it made me happy!

I feel sick to my stomach, but I have no idea why.

[chiquitaban]

woot.
lets see.

1) I like the smell of gasoline. not like concentrated on. like the gas station.

2) I'm an aspiring journalist but i cant write.

3) I love to lay outside in the rain

[zanna]

it's been an exhausting day. i just got home 5 minutes ago and already i've got all the insurance companies crawling up my ass. my dad was sure he had me on full-coverage, but wouldn't you know it ..nope. i've got liability only. oh joyous day.

but things must carry on even though i feel like i just want to crawl in a whole. tomorrow's my last day of high school.

tonight is senior awards/dinner night so i've got a crap load to do before i have to head over there at 6:30 to receive whatever it is i've done nothing to receive.



oh and thanks alot guys for your concern and such ..i love you all :)

[Cuilanië]

- Hugs zanna, I'm glad you weren't hurt! Accidents are scary.

- I'm curious about SK's super-secret plan.

- I've been told liquorice Altoids are supposed to come out in June.

[Cuilanië]

- I have hope of someday being able to buy Altoids in France.

- Until very very recently, I couldn't find the shampoo I use in France either and had to buy several bottles whenever I went to Canada. But I saw it in a store this week.

- I have a grand total of seven Altoids left. And I'm not talking tins here.

[Cuilanië]

- Sun-dried clothes smell so good... :)

- My roommate's not coming home tonight, he's staying at his parent's.

- I have a Greek 1 euro coin with an owl on it. B)

~ Hmm...well now that I have been thinking about this some more I think I will spill the beans... SHHHH! IT'S A SECRET! See....I'm thinking because of all of this new ban on cd trades & mixes I could start a *secret* mix cd society. But of course this would all have to be done through snail mail, which would be fun :) There are a few ways it could work.. I could randomly send a mixed cd out to someone here at N'ness with a note saying that they should in turn send a mixed cd of their own to someone else and soon we will have a big network of people sharing music. Or through mail we could arrange some sort of group and every month we could make a mix cd for the other people. There are many options, lots to think about it. But I should stop yacking about this before I am banned from N'ness forever. :ph34r:

~ I don't think I would like licorice altoids. I would like to try the ginger flavor though. I saw them just recently at a store in a town about 2 hours away from here. I noticed them after I paid and I was on my way out of the store. I am kicking myself for not getting back in line to buy some.

~ The boy next door asked me if I wanted to sleep over at his house last night. He's is about 8 or 9 years old. :P

[Cuilanië]

Sounds cool! :) (And that kid... cute! :lol: )

- Ginger Altoids are yummy. I'm actually considering mail-ordering Altoids from their website, but I'm waiting until they release the liquorice ones -- so I don't have to order twice. :rolleyes:

- Liquorice Altoids have spawned a bit of an obsession in me... :wacko:

- I haven't eaten dinner yet. And I'm hungry.

[Skilyne]

I still feel sick to my stomach...and I still have no idea why.

I am so glad that tommorow is Friday!

I have become addicted to Nervousness.

[siafu]

heidi made it fine and the interview went well. :crossed:

the bar association made me fill out like ten pages about my physical condition, plus, i sent a neurological report. today, they called asking what accomodations i requested. <_<

sometimes the days go by fast.

[zanna]

oh my god. i didn't realize what had happend involving the trade of cd's and such until i just now went to the home page.

i am flabbergasted. at least i've become addicted to the chain games here and the people ..because the only thing i used to come to the forums for was to trade cd's.

i know everyone says and thinks it's the right thing to do, but i'm, i don't know, in a state of shock. it almost makes me want to cry some more today.

[Astabeth]

My favorite flavor of Altoids is Spearmint.

My favorite kind of chocolate is dark - very dark.

Now I need a snack...

[Cuilanië]

- I just snacked on an avocado and a handful of cherry tomatoes. Good Eve.

- I'm cutting ATC blanks. Again, Good Eve.

- I'm typing this with my left thumb and the fingers of my right hand, because the rest of my left hand is balancing the keyboard...


:lol:

[Larrissa]

zanna? :hug:

i found a rollie glitter thing in the garage and have coated my arms in glitter for two days. i am probably too old to have glittery arms.

glad heidi made it :)

[chunkymonkey]

:hug: for zanna. Thank goodness you weren't hurt.

I have strange bumps on the back of my tongue.

doctor's freak me out in the worst way. I panic and start trembling whenever I eveb think about having to go. I haven't been to an actual doctor in years. I wait till whatever it is gets super painful and then I go to the emergency room.

I feel like utter crap all the time so I know I've got some sort of infection. cripes! <_<

[Larrissa]

hey mr. or mrs. Guest, quit spying!!

rocking out

espresso stringing me out, everyday

[Larrissa]

empty empty nervousness, oh where has everyone gone?
my sister will be home soon to claim the computer

got the box boxed, full of things i spent a few hours on total. it was much fun.

the mailbox here is a little thing stuck on the front wall, i check it five times a day on average :D

[Skilyne]

I am hungry and there is nothing left in my house to eat except Oreos.

Oreos are good, but they can't make a meal!

So...I am going to order a pizza.

[Curlita]

I am tired and I have a headache.

I've been feeling moderately depressed all week.

I'm trying to decide if it is chemical and I need more meds or actual and I need to Work Something Out. :huh:

[siafu]

sorry you're not feeling so well, curlita. :hug:

studying. [criminal law today]

the thing i like about buying in bulk is reduced packaging. and it's even cheaper. nice.

[bluecrayon]

hugs to Curlita -- I remember pregnancy just zapping me sometimes.

I am feeling goofy and content right now -- maybe because I had his voice in my head this afternoon while I was laying in a sunspot and he laughed all over me.

I am off soon to play my bass in a concert.

[Skilyne]

I have been working on my Korean (Anyoung haseo?)

I am feeling so sleepy, but I don't want to go to bed just yet!

My stomach is feeling much better...which makes me happy!

[zanna]

you little schemer! ;)

i go to other sites to trade music, and they haven't banned the trade of cds and mixes yet. i don't know if they will, but i know not everywhere will cave to the pressures of copyright infringment threats and such.

i bet we could find a 'secret' little place to congregate on the net somewhere ..i have a few ideas ..

[btw : i'm just a burning cd little freak ..it's a disease! :D]

[Lilac]

I'm so sorry to hear about you accident Zanna, but believe me - everything will be okay. I've had a few myself (when I was younger) that I thought were just the ending to my world, but life goes on. :hug:

I'm a disgusting sweat ball.

I need a shower badly, but had to get my Nervousness fix first!

[Lilac]

Okay...where ARE all you guys???

I'm going to beat on everyone's door to come out and play! :spank:

I know...you all are avoiding me because I haven't showered yet!!!

[zanna]

thanks for all ya'lls words of encouragement! :hug: back!

your right lilac ..the shower thing is whats doing it ;)

i'd love to stay and play, but i've got a big busy day tomorrow, and i think i'm ready for a bedtime snack and to hit the hay right after. night all!

[stargal1998]

1. Sarahkate rocks.

2. I think I may find out a surprise type thing tomorrow at work (it's a good thing).

3. I miss spending hours on here during working hours...

[stargal1998]

1. Please note that a lot of other people on this site rock, I just had to single Sarahkate out just this once.

2. I have a lot of three random facts to catch up on.

3. Good thing I have a long weekend coming up, LOL.

[sarahkate]

~ I see Stargal! Holy smokes! I haven't seen my personality twin around in here in quite a while! Howdy! :wave:

~ I'm not usually here this late, and I would stay and play but I am sleepy so I should probably get to sleep too.

~ Just wanted to make it clear I'm not leaving because of Lilac not showering, that doesn't offend me one bit. :P

Goodnight! See you in the morning.


*Had to edit to say: Stargal types faster than me..... she rocks too! I miss you!!! :wub:

[Lilac]

Thanks, SarahKate! I'm just sitting here marinating in old sweat.

What a disgusting thing to say.

I AM going to get that shower, I promise. I'm just too tired to get up. I've incorporated some pretty extreme mountain biking in my work-out routine and every muscle in my body is protesting!

[tanagee]

Just checking in

I used to 'do'weight watchers last year and was involved in a forum for online support.

One of the women was battling breast cancer and she passed away on Tuesday.

[medeous]

created three new "inspired by" objects.

Hundertwasser, the Fauves and Ringgold with zero FB required.

elimidate is on.

- I haven't slept.

- I spent the night reading instead.

- The breeze is cold this morning, but the sky is clear...

[bluecrayon]

home from my concert and I'm buzzing under my skin...

wondering where Jesus and Superman are --

I think I'm about to go on a bumping frenzy! :lol:

[Astabeth]

Got Lorelei & Joe asleep so I can work but I'm in here at the computer. I rationalize it by saying I have to wait for the gel medium to dry.

I can't believe the amount of crap we are sleeping with. It used to be Joe and me and up to four cats. I just took inventory and it's Joe and Lorelei and me and talking Stitch and tie-dye Bedtime Bear and the alligator that crinkles and rattles and The Runaway Bunny board book and the I Like It When board book and a t-shirt and a onesie and Lorelei's tub of skin cream and some other board book...it's ridiculous! And some nights there's more!

Unfortunately, the cats can't sleep with us anymore. Lorelei is allergic so they have been banished to the pottery studio and tiny courtyard out back. :'(

[littlest-bee]

Today I look like a zombie. I'm pale and tired-looking with enormous dark bags under my eyes. Not pretty.

I slept badly. I kept waking up feeling hot and uncomfortable. Then at about 5am I woke up because I was just about to fall out of bed, my darling boyf had rolled right over and was sleeping with his head on my pillow. He woke up too, looked at what was happening, grinned cutely and rolled over back to his side!

All this not sleeping and paleness is most likely pmt. Boo.

[medeous]

my hair is wet and wrapped in a towel...it's a sign of impending sirius-ness.

i think i could put up crown molding by myself, maybe.

my ankles are swollen and sore, i feel like the michelin man.

[zanna]

i've started my last day of high school!

it's gonna be a busy busy day, not to mention the busy week until graduation on the 29th.

tonight is our soccer awards and banquet night. afterwards all the players are going to have a campout with tents and such. we're going to have smores and fire! muwahaha :evil:


[it shall hopefully be fun fun fun!]

[thunderstorm_19]

it's supposed to be pretty much rainy all weekend here, but at least reasonably warm

there are 2, no 3, and will be 4 DVDs i want that i don't have, though i suspect that dad will buy 2 of them... the return of the king and the 3rd harry potter when that is out on dvd eventually...
the ones i want myself are bend it like beckham, and pirates of the caribbean...

i wonder if i might actually get some nness project work done today...

[thunderstorm_19]

i got RAK'd by astabeth yesterday!!!

it was the only mail i got yesterday, which made it even nicer. :)

i am going to a friend's birthday party tomorrow

I wish I could wake up with my him, too. :(

I know, how can you be mad at that?

When do you next see your "him"?

I'm not really managing today well.

[Curlita]

I'm feeling better today, and appreciate the hugs.

I'm still not sure I have the energy to give tours to two groups of 2nd graders.

I love that only days after the mix-CD ban, nefarious nervousers are plotting and planning to find a new outlet.

Bonus: I think the baby is practicing kick-boxing. I've been feeling little pings all morning.

[gwensmom]

Yay for Zanna's last day of high school! :yay: Now you are really on your way.

I wish Robyn would post. :unsure:

Yesterday, Gwen's teacher played a CD of Buddhist monks chanting. Gwen liked it so much that she started chanting too. So I guess Gwen is Buddhist and I had better get her one of those CD's!

[Larrissa]

thats wonderful gwensmom :D

i should really get over to the post office and send these things, i should apply for a few jobs, i should take a bus up to the foothills, i should consume less caffeine. i should stop shoulding. right now.

read a whole bunch of livinglovingandlearning from tanagee in a PIF and cried my little eyeballs out. it was good.

[tanagee]

I found out last week that the author of the book I sent Larrissa passed away a few years ago...does that make his books worth more?

I am officially f#*king freaked out. I recieved a PM Wednesday from a guy who said he was moving to my town and what could I tell him? I sent him a few messages and my hubby flipped out because he could be a psycho...

So today I clicked on the guys profile, NO INFO, NO POSTS AND HE JUST JOINED ON WEDNESDAY!!

Should I be freaked out? What should I do? I didn't tell him anything personal or specific but there are pictures of my house in the 'beautful day in the neighborhood' thread...which is where he said he "saw" where I was from; so I am going to remove the pictures right now.

That thread was like more than a few pages in so it was something you had to look for.

[Larrissa]

oooh i hate the paranoid feelings i get sometimes about being so open and the possibility of psychos seeing it. but this also teaches me to deal with myself and have a bit more trust.

my confidence has improved, my ability to connect with people, hope has increased, ability to have sympathy (i had a hard time with this awhile ago, none for anybody!!) and i find out all sorts of stuff about me from playing and talking with so many wonderful people.

im glad the musical desicion has been made, even though its sad. it would totally blow if we had to be shut down because of some RIAA BALLSUCKER. ave i mentioned lately i love you all?

[sarahkate]

~ Tana - maybe he found this site by searching for the name of your town on Google or Yahoo or some other search engine which brought him to your post on that thread. So, maybe that is why he joined because he was specifically looking for info on your town. Still it's pretty creepy, but don't worry too much. He probably didn't really realize what this community was, so that's why he joined and sent you a PM once he realized you were from that town and then left after finding out that this is an art community. Maybe....perhaps! Is your address private on the main page? If not maybe you should make it confidential so that there is no way of him seeing it, just in case.

~ I have a major problem with writing and speaking. I just can't seem to be blunt and to the point, instead I ramble on and on and I can't stop.

~ The past 3 nights in a row I had Boca Burgers for dinner. I think I will end that streak tonight by having pasta instead.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i ate too much

2 i dropped off a roll of film for processing

3 i want some tea

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i had pizza hut buffet for lunch, followed by mcdonald's caramel sundae

2 need to go tend to my carrot patch

3 i bought some envies of the size i need to send some things out (because they are things i have no desire to fold)

[credo]

1) I adore fun socks especially those with animals on them - particularly cats

2) I have a Pekingnese dog named Tasha who is like my baby ^_^ I love her very much

3) I also want a cup of tea :P

[medeous]

eck, these pants are tight.

i had the in school suspension kids in the library during our school carnival.

nothing like a bunch of cranky, picked-on whiny kids in a freezing room with a good view of the fun stuff outside

[Larrissa]

all i want to do is sit here and rock out

i MUST get over this fear of going out by myself. just when was the moment i started turning into a wuss?? damn

its sirius's fault. i loved this guy :huh: before but now involuntarily make that face whenever i see it. i feel silly.

[sarahkate]

~ I see stargal again! Craziness! :lol:

~ I am super hyper right now. I get into one of these crazy moods every so often. I feel all loopy and bouncy and weird. It's fun.

~ Friday! Yay Yay Yay.

[Larrissa]

more facts from me? why yes. do you have a complaint? i want to hear it.

1. listened to one disc on repeat for 4 awake hours and 8 sleeping hours. there is only one song that sounded the same each time it came up. the rest were new every time. i dont understand this at all. maybe ive lost it :D

2. made a wonderful necklace for theresa ^_^

3. honey sticks rock. hyper hyper HYPER. love it :yay:

[littlest-bee]

Gin is good.

Gin makes things fuzzy.

This is my first slightly drunk post on Nness.

(no typos!!)

[sarahkate]

~ Yay for hyper. I think if someone put Larrissa and I in a room together right now craziness would ensue. It would be craziness beyond belief. Ooooh yeah...crazy..hyper...craziness. :blink:

~ Oh I have a complaint, people in this damn city seem to think it's ok to turn left on a red arrow, but not turn right on red. Ugh. Pisses me off. Is that the kind of complaint you wanted to hear?

~ So far today I only eaten 4 Snackwell's cookies and a little bag of stinky Doritos. No wonder I'm all loopy and weird today.

[Dalmaney]

1. I took a trip to Regina yesterday and the day before.

2. I'm tired of road trips and plan to stay home for a while.

3. I have had a fabulous time with Nervous mail lately.

[medeous]

this (http://www.historicferguson.org/hometour.cfm?location=west&tourorder=24) is my next door neighbor's house.

his name is mike.

he goes to work really really early.

[medeous]

my house is not on that site...probably because it is much less impressive.

there was a house almost identical to mike's house on my lot, but it burned down sometime after 1898.

it was the Phil E. Green home.

[medeous]

i don't know who Phil E. Green was, but he built another house over on Hord.

my house is brick, to withstand fire, i'd imagine.

i'm trying to figure out in what architectural style it was designed.

[medeous]

my street used to be Florence, now it's Tiffin.

i want to talk to someone knowledgeable in historic architecture.

i have a brick 1&1/2 (originally 1 story) house with stained glass windows, square columns on the porch and an arched doorway from the foyer to the front room. i'm pretty sure the dining and living rooms used to be two seperate areas, but the wall has been removed. the tile on the bathroom floor is that honeycomb black and white style. somebody tell me what kinda house i have.

[siafu]

heidi got the job! :thewave:

i've been studying for a while. it's so something.

heidi got the job!

[siafu]

you have a pretty house, medeous.

couldn't it be like revamped victorian/craftsman?

something is burning.

[sarahkate]

~ I love learning about architecture. When I was a kid one of my most favorite things to do was draw floor plans. Maybe this site (http://architecture.about.com/library/bl-styles_index.htm) will be of some help to medeous.

~ A few years ago I said to my boyfriend "I want to be an architect, but I hate measuring stuff." Yes, another pearl of wisdom brought to you by sarahkate. :rolleyes:

~ Yay for Heidi! Will you tell her I said "Congratulations!" ? :)

[Cuilanië]

:thewave: Yay Heidi! :D :thewave:

I actually ate dinner tonight (as opposed to just snacking).

I've actually done the dishes too. I must be getting old. :lol:

[Larrissa]

oh oh you know i say CONGRATULATIONS too :D (are you not going to be the poor people anymore?)

the post office here is waaaaay far away ... there is a "postal station" a block away, but international mailing that isnt printed material less than one once isnt allowed :'(

I MUST LEARN TO DRIVE.

[siafu]

yeah, i think we are not the poor people much longer. woo!

i should get back to studying.

i'm also going to make a protein "shake" in a short while. one tablespoon of cocoa has 3 measly carbs. chocolate here i come. :lol:

Gwen needs a bath and her hair washed and I am here procrastinating!

I checked the online catalog and found that our library has plenty of Buddhist chant cd's available.

There is no school for Gwen next week so we will home. There will be massive decluttering going on.

fact 4: I can hear Gwen in the other room and I think she is chanting again!

[Larrissa]

yes, come on over. its the tan brick house on the right :)

i love buddhist chanting, i should get a cd of it.

there i go with the shoulding again!

[Skilyne]

Congrats to Heidi!

I am SO GLAD it is Friday...and that I was not asked to work tommorow!

I am planning on taking a nice long bubble bath tonight.

[Curlita]

I'd like to leave work early and avoid the traffic.

Tonight I need to pack for my weekend train trip.

I wish I had some chocolate.

[Lilac]

Every muscle in my body aches!!!!

But I am determined to tone to the point of buff.

I'm very obsessive-conpulsive....


*Congratulations Zanna! Last day of school! Look out world - here comes our Zanna!!!!!!

[Skilyne]

I remember how excited I was on my last day of school! (congrats Zanna)

I am craving Double-Stuff Oreos...again.

I got my tickets for the trip to NYC!

[Larrissa]

oh jeez. i got all worked up about my little sister smoking. am resisting the urge to go RANT about it. i knew before but she went out in the yard with her little friend and came back stinky and guilty. we yelled for thirty minutes. accomplished nothing. she says i "suck at life" and am not anything close to a role model

maybe i should shut up or go rant

need to hook up the shiesta for my digital camera and show off this jewelry box with fingers coming out of the top ...

[Lilac]

It's Friday night.
I'm bored to death.
I don't feel like reading.
I don't want to watch TV.
I don't want to do any housework.
I'm hoping that "he" doesnt call to chat .
I don't want to do anything because I'm tired and achey.

I know that there are more than three random facts here, but...I'M BORED!

And nobody is playing.

As usual. :(

[Skilyne]

I agree with EVERYTHING Lilac just said.
I am bored.
I don't feel like doing anything, but I want something to do.
I'm resisting the urge to call him.
I'm going to scream...AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[Larrissa]

ARRGH i am all screamed out

my arch rival just walked thru the room, he is a white cat ...

i printed a bunch of atc starters for later

[Skilyne]

I can understand Larrissa's desire to rant...my younger brother smokes, and I HATE it!

I love the people on Nervousness!

I am a pathetic 22-year old...home on a Friday! :P Oh well...I am not a big party person anyhow.

[Larrissa]

oh yeah? i m a pathetic 23 year old who cant drive, has zero real friends and lives in my mommas garage. damn :D :D :D

i love these woodcut animals in this dover book

i put my art in the public domain. i had a website full of it, its gone. i will have to do that again. i dont like copyrights, but you probably know that.

[Skilyne]

I am happy to hear someone else is as pathetic as I am (even if that is kind of a sick thing to be happy about) ;)

I am happy I am a dork, because at least I am my own person...which most people don't seem to be anymore.

I have the TV on, but I'm not watching it.

[Lilac]

I'm a pathetic, unmarried 37 year old woman sitting home on a friday night listening to her kid chant: "nausea, heartburn, upset stomach, indegestion, diarreah...YEAY PEPTO BISMOL" over and over, for like an hour now. :spank:

I like this little smiley------> :spank:

I was looking forward to staying up late tonight and doing....I don't know...SOMETHING...but now I'll be happy when i'm tired enough to go to bed.

[Skilyne]

I wonder how old Lilac's kid is (because I am nosy)

I am also looking forward to going to bed, but I am enjoying posting.

I did a beautiful collage on New York City.

[Lilac]

Lilac's kid is 10.

Lilac's kid is going to be very unhappy in a very short time.

Lilac's kid is going to bed.


YEAY!!!!!!

I'm sitting home alone, too -- I'm not gonna call myself pathetic, though.

I have to have some allusions!

I just forgot to read the fine print when I signed on to this long distance love thing...

[Larrissa]

the goodnight post:

art night ahead

i probably rely too much on luck

and i have a favor to ask. please use "THE" or "AND" in your posts alot. im serious. aol is very controlling and wont open my assistant, and i cant determine what criteria it uses to tell which posts are new or not. so i search todays posts, for "the" "and" .... thank you for understanding. any better ideas?

[Lilac]

sitting home on a friday night listening to her kid chant: "nausea, heartburn, upset stomach, indegestion, diarreah...YEAY PEPTO BISMOL" over and over, for like an hour now.

Ahhhh, the things I have to look forward to.

* :yay: Yay, Heidi! :yay:

* I love honey straws too, especially the sour raspberry ones. When I have them, there's always one hanging out of my mouth.

* I didn't make the boca burgers - the gas tank on the grill ran out of gas.

How old is Gwen's daughter?

[bluecrayon]

It slides in unexpectedly, the lonliness

maybe it's hearing a party in the neighborhood, people together on my street, doing the weekend dance with each other...

whatever sent it into me, I am all kinds of blue and no one around to chain game with and no scrabble games to play and nothing to do but deal with it...

[chunkymonkey]

hi

I'm sick with a funky virus

holding my head up is now this strange chore but I can't stand to be in my bed for a second longer

[tanagee]

There was a story on the news about the ceramics teacher at a high school near me that was caught videotaping the female students changing their clothes in the bathroom next to his classroom.

When they showed his picture and I saw he was young (maybe in his 20's) my first thought was "at least he's not a dirty old man".

Not that what he did was ok...it's just not as creepy.

[tanagee]

I'm sick with a funky virus
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/26/26_9_19.gif
This is how I picture chunky's virus looking.

[chunkymonkey]

lol probably. these little b**ches are coming to get me.

my mommy made me lemon water ice cubes. :kiss:

Yes I turn into a little kid when I'm sick, I'm not afraid to admit it.

[littlest-bee]

It's morning!

Last night I watched the penultimate episode of Friends (yeah, we're a bit behind America). The last show is next week.

I can hear seagulls again.

[Cuilanië]

- I fell asleep around midnight last night and slept until six am, then stayed in bed drifting in and out of sleep until one pm... I needed the rest.

- The sun is playing hide-and-seek with the clouds, the air is cold but the sunlight warm...

- I need to go outside, not sit here all afternoon.

[zanna]

we had our soccer awards banquet last night and then a campout followed ..

we ate smores and walked to a near-by cemetary where all the girls proceeded to get scared and freak each other out. i couldn't deal with all their screeches and their paranoia ..i'm sorry, i just don't get scared by stuff like that so they just started to annoy me sinceless ..

we sat around until 3am talking by the campfire and as girls started falling asleep, the bugs increased their attack apon me. i snuck on up to the house with a few of the girls still awake and we all grabbed a couch and crashed. you can see how much of an outdoors man i am ..haha. ^_^

[Lilac]

I have been up since 7:00 AM working around this place...and I still feel as if I havent accomplished anything!

My push mower went kaput this morning. I spent over an hour taking it apart, calling my Dad to explain what to do...trying to fix it...and finally just freaked and hauled the heap down to to the road for the dumpster divers to pick up.

I now have to go buy a new one...and I'm pissed.


*Holy shit....my boss just called! I have to FREAKING go to A F*CKING site NOW!!!!!!!! I am beyond pissed!!!!

[Larrissa]

playing monkeyball, no make that SUPERmonkeyball with my sister, the smoker. shes 15 in a few days

june sure did come up fast

got lots of nness projects due soon

[Cuilanië]

- It's sad that Larrissa's sister became a smoker so young.When she comes to her senses, she'll be too addicted to stop easily.

- Even if I was never more than a social smoker (in the way one would say 'social drinker'), I realise how strong the addiction can be, because I sometimes get a craving... Not, thank goodness, too often or too strong to resist. But it's there, a reminder of stupid carelessness.

- I hope the sun's shining in Lilac's part of the world, so that she doesn't have to work in the rain on top of having to work on a Saturday... :hug:

[AlienSpy]

1. It's been a while since I posted here... I needed to catch up first and I think I read about 100 pages of TRF over the last week!

2. I've been kind of depressed all day but I don't know why. Maybe because of the weather... My boyfriend will be back from work soon and then we're going to a BBQ at some friends' place but I don't feel like going. But I know that if I stay here I'm going to be depressed all night long. If I go there I'll probably enjoy myself, but I'd still rather stay here. Contradictory I know... I'm not usually this confused!

3. In 2 months I'll officially be a mommy! :wub:

[gwensmom]

Woo hoo! I just got Gwen's summer school assignment letter and she is placed in a school three miles from the house!!!!!! For the past two summers I have had to drive her to a school that is nowhere near my house or my job. This will save so much time, not to mention gas money!

Astabeth, Gwen (http://img20.photobucket.com/albums/v59/sarahmct/DSCN0079a.jpg) is 7 and will be 8 in November.

I'm gong to the movies tonight!

[bluecrayon]

I took my son's skateboard out today and dreamed my way down the street...

I found a doll's face on my walk this morning and cleaned it up and now it is on my counter with lots of other stuff I've found...

I just bumped everything in sight and hope to see some new names when I return later tonight... :D

[siafu]

i forgot to call the small bus for tomorrow.

duh.

i'm strangely unperturbed about it.

[Larrissa]

my family has a new kitten. she is white and sweet and tiny. i am so full of love lately i just make myself sick sometimes :lol:

thought i wold lose a little weight being here be being more active. but the way dinner is served i doubt this will happen. doesnt matter much really, my jeans are stretchy :D

i think right now i will sit and do a list of to do things that DOESNT include any nness projects :rolleyes:

[Bugitha]

I am a huge fan of casseroles and one dish meals.

We only have farmers markets in the summer where I live. The first one is in two weeks. Woo hoo! Fresh, ripe fruits and veggies for a change.

The fact that I'm waiting for dinner to cook may explain my food-centered random facts . . . I'm so hungry.

[Larrissa]

did that

watching gone in 60 seconds because it on .. while the sister was checking her crap online .. shes grounded from the internet but im nice. we would both be killed if either parent found out

phone??? i am such a wuss :D

Thanks for the hugs, Culanie :)

I didnt have to stay at the site long...2 hours. It wasnt so bad. I'm just not used to being called in on a weekend and usually when that DOES happen, it means a BIG problem that will take lots of time. In today's case, though...no big deal!

I bought a new push mower and mowed all the slopes and trim that I couldnt get with the riding mower. My yard looks pretty nice, now!

[Larrissa]

good job on the lawn!

the little kitten, i was holding her, tummy up, and my wrist gets warm, i look more closely and shes peeing. i have her contained in a way where the pee is collecting, and my damn sister is laughing so hard she doesnt get me a towel as i am yelling at her to do, so the cat continues peeing, and i swear, the little guy peed out half its body wieght, all over kris's bed. it was freaking hilarious. i like having my sister around :)

my to do list was a pee pee casaulty. :yell: i finally get it done and its peed on

What's the new kitty's name?

[Larrissa]

fat mike

or
milo

or
sir weasel

or
gepetto

it hasnt been decided yet, we are going to all write the names on a chunk of paper and toss them near the kitty, whichever one she chooses is the name ... :rolleyes:

[Lilac]

That's an original method!

I would guess that Fat Mike was your contribution?

Or did you choose Sir Weasel?

[Larrissa]

yep it was fat mike

i just called miss siafu and said goodnight.

i am such a wuss

[gwensmom]

I feel almost normal. Gwensdad and I saw a movie and went out for a drink afterwards.

It took us forever to figure out where to go for the drink because we have not done that in such a long time.

I had forgotten how much I like a gin and tonic.

[AlienSpy]

1. I don't feel depressed anymore.

2. We just got back from our friends' house and had a lot of fun. I laughed all night long and went to the bathroom about 10 times.

3. I'm in love with our friends' dog. He's so cute and tiny! I want another dog! Yep, a third one! :lol: :rolleyes:

[Lilac]

I see you lurking around, Siafu!

[siafu]

yeah, i was being accused of losing the lottery ticket. i didn't. furthermore, it's a loser anyway.

sometimes i feel like this B) fine. sometimes i feel like this :'( not fine.

right now i feel like this :angry: and i will shake my soft muppet fists of fury at anyone who bugs me.

[littlest-bee]

We're decorating today. I'm not actually being very helpful (that's why I'm in the forums rather than helping!) because it's all dull prep work (sanding, filling, scraping...) and all I want to do is slap paint on the walls.

I'm getting back into poetry at the moment. I find the best place to read it is in the bath.

I really should go and help with the decorating.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i really need to (/want to) know when each of the nness mommies to be are due

2 i think i asked this somewhere before but i can't remember

3 spectacular thunder and lightning last night... i love storms

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i had 3 drinks at my friend's party last night

2 i had a couple really odd dreams last night!

3 i really like shortbread

[Lilac]

My hip joints are hurting really bad and I don't know why!

I'm contemplating skipping church again, but if I do my Grandmother will call and give me Hell.

Isnt it pathetic that a woman my age is afraid of pissing off her Grandmother? (well, actually, I'm not AFRAID...it's more like I hate to disapoint her.)

*How the heck do you spell DISAPOINT? I'm having one of those moments where, for some reason, my brain is not processing easy, everyday spelling!

[Lilac]

I've been online way too long. I need to get off the computer, get my butt outside and get some stuff done!

I'm feeling strangely lethargic today.

I think I ate too much bran.

siafu, i got your botero ATC yesterday and i think it's great! :wub:

[zanna]

i'm going to try to be productive with my day.

perhaps i'll get to finish my door in which i'm collaging and maybe even get my room cleaned up.

knowing me though, i'll probably just end up sitting in front of my computer making a mix cd or something .. i guess we'll see.

[bluecrayon]

phone dancing until 430am --

I really like him... :wub:

planting some basil and tomatoes in my garden today...

[Cuilanië]

The weather's turning towards rain and my right knee hurts...

When siafu say 'my soft muppet fists of fury', I imagined hand-muppets, in the shape of Nanimal...

My desk is hopelessly cluttered, and I will have to clear it once again...

[Astabeth]

I had an epiphany a little while ago but now I can't remember what it was.

My memory doesn't work right. I can't remember what I did the day before (like, ALL DAY, when friends had come over and we'd gone out to eat and unloaded the kiln and lots of fun stuff) or whether or not I just refilled my drink or lots of things.

Maybe something's wrong with my brain. :angry:

[medeous]

you have a baby, that's an automatic dispensation from remembering stuff.

there are things i should do: clean my house, find my insurance card, buy food.

there are things i'll probably do instead: go shopping, watch a movie, read a book.

[zanna]

my friend rachel is over.

i haven't been very productive yet.

there's still time for hope ..

[tanagee]

I was checking my hubbys e-mail for him and this was the lead news story on Yahoo...http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...ance_airport_dc (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=578&ncid=578&e=4&u=/nm/20040523/ts_nm/france_airport_dc).

I cleaned my kitchen this morning and the whole time I was doing it Megan kept asking me "what you doing mommy?"

I guess since I am a lazy bum she had never seen me clean :).

[Cuilanië]

- Shock has me after reading that news story... I've been in that terminal. I was impressed by it -- such a feat of engineering! Guess not... Kee-rist.

- That's all I have to say for now.

[Cuilanië]

- Just put on the news. First story, football... (soccer)

- The collapse was the second story. It didn't say much more than what's in the story Tana posted, except that the usual witchhunt has begun. Who's to blame? And the politicians are starting to capitalise.

- Sometimes living in France is wearying beyond belief...

[siafu]

when i saw that story, i knew eve was safe because i'd indexed its appearance against her chaingaming. at least there was some kind of loose association in my mind...like, oh, she didn't go there b/c she's playing chain games.

my brother's wife is pregnant. for the fourth time. i have a lot of feelings about this, especially since my brother only makes $9 an hour. i feel some envy though, as i would like a baby too.

i'm blinky tired.

[hammerquill]

- For once I am actually glad Eve didn't suddenly decide to fly over here unexpectedly...

- I'm happy for medeous, for that letter and good sentence.

- I'm waiting for the chocolate glaze to cool enough to spread the crumb coat.

[gwensmom]

Chocolate glaze? Crumb coat? YUM- now I might fly over there unexpectedly!

Between a funeral and family reunion this weekend I have gotten nothing done and have a ton of housework staring me in the face.

I forgot to send my ultimate naked mail on Saturday and it is still sitting here staring at me in all its naked glory.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i made (following a recipe) spring rolls for dinner

2 fireworks tonight providing it remains not raining long enough

3 i'm going to eat chocolate(!)

[Lilac]

I'm exhausted...I can barely lift my fingers to type.

Busy day.

This exhaustion hit just now, like a brick wall.

[Larrissa]

spent the day in the mountains!! it was superb! with my daddy-o whom i havent seen in four years. i think hes great.

my ankles got a workout on the way down, we ignored the trails. the plants were cursing us. i heard it.

snow, wind, WIND, muffled quiet, elk, music, honey sticks, four unidentified birds, his oldass corvette, haircut needed, honeyroasted peanuts ....

it was a goooooood day.

[Lilac]

Yeay for Larrissa!

I'm jealous! That sounded like a fabulous time!

I want some honey roasted peanuts!!!!!

[medeous]

apparently my pup likes sunflower seeds. very much.

i sat in the car in my driveway so that i could hear the end of the "spook science" segment on today's This American Life.

rustell was in my dream and we were in a class together and i was supposed to be drawing someone and she knew i was drawing her and she said "no way, my hair's been curly ever since my boob job"

[siafu]

what a super funny dream.

i probably need to go listen to the radio.

i've got professor epstein's voice stuck in my head.

[zanna]

i think i enjoyed today because it wasn't like anyother day, although i didn't get very productive in the cleaning-up department. :(

there wasn't too much random facting-it today, was there?

i so know i'm not going to be able to go to sleep until at least 4am, make that 5 ..oh i wonder if perhaps there still is a chance i can be productive ..?

[Larrissa]

tommorrow i will:

1.get a learners permit to drive
2.go to the library and get some plant books so i can identify the colorado plants
3.berne the seedees four nervous eye hav ben putin oph. thee grande mothr hass thee berner annd shee isint n-ice.
and a 4.start the monkey logo

[zanna]

bluecrayon ..i was curious about something. i know your love calls you late at night and that's why your up until the wee hours of the morn, but about what time does he call and why is it that ya'll must talk so late? is there no other time in both schedules that allow it? i had just been wondering .. :)

i haven't heard from my guy in two days now. :(

yep. i can tell it now. i'm up until the sun rises. argh.

[Sirius]

rustell was in my dream and we were in a class together and i was supposed to be drawing someone and she knew i was drawing her and she said "no way, my hair's been curly ever since my boob job"

-oddly I cannot think of a proper response to that...
-I suppose if I ever take a boob job into consideration, I'll have to weigh in the curly hair factor...
-I thought of Medeous while awake today. I cleared off my bulletion board and only left the Kewl picture she made me and my frustration chart (which is currently at none thank you very much)

[zanna]

ah ..2am late sunday night and no one here to play ..what is it with ya'll? it's like ya'll have jobs and stuff ..hmm.

now that i'm out of school [well not offically until after graduation on saturday] but since i don't have to go back to school, i think my sleep patterns can morph back into the freaky tangled web of 6am days and sleeping in til 2pm. haha. don't know how many of these days i'll be able to live though this summer ..

i've been working on my door for the past hour and haven't made much process ..i'm too obsessive compulsive about it. perhaps i'll get my digital camera and post a picture of my work in progress ..i've taken all the test strips i've ever done in photography class [and a few other people's] and am collaging them all together into a wonder piece of, um, something. i suppose it's art, and that's almost scary, because i didn't know that's what it was when i started. i suppose that's because i don't make art very much ..yep.

[Larrissa]

how the hell did one o clock come up so fast??

watched vanilla sky again, and most of pumpkin. they both make me cry. my sister said "stop it. youre freaking me out" yep.

she was supposed to be in bed hours ago.

[Cuilanië]

- Coffee, must have coffee...

- First time in weeks I've actually gotten out of bed at nine thirty.

- That cramp that almost kept me awake all night is lurking, lurking...

[zanna]

4:15am here.

haven't gone to bed yet. :(

i'm glad i don't have to do anything too important tomorrow ..

[Cuilanië]

- I just found a very long hair in this old shirt I'm wearing, and I'm wondering where it comes from.

- It could be one of mine, but I bought this shirt after cutting my hair, and I haven't had it that long since.

- It might have stuck there at the laundromat, come to think of it...

[zanna]

may i just say, cuilanië, that i really like your hair from the picture of you in your profile. it's very cute. :)

i'm just writing in my journal now.

hoping i'll be able to go to sleep sometime within the next millennium ..

[Cuilanië]

- Thank you zanna! :blush: That picture is over two years old now, though. My hair's about that long again, but it's not dyed anymore.

- I'm wondering if coffee is a good idea.

- I like living at night, but it's a surprisingly good feeling to have slept on a normal schedule for once.

[Cuilanië]

- Go Larrissa! Driving is fun. B)

- I remember pestering my parents until they agreed to let me take driving lessons (I could legally take them at 16, but I needed my parents' signature while I was a minor...)

- Their reason for making me wait was that they didn't want my youngest brother to get his license at 16 either, on account of his being a bit of a hothead. Irony is, now he's going on 23, and he still doesn't have his license... says he doesn't need it. :rolleyes: :lol:

[zanna]

yeah, i used to have my hair that short some years back, but now it's about an afro's length. :lol:

nights the best, espically during the summer when i can semi-change my schedule to better fit night-time living.

three summers ago when i didn't have a job or hardly anything to worry about doing, the whole summer it was like i was living a different life. i stayed up until around sunrise [about 6-7am] and then went to sleep knowing the sun was out. i slept until at least noon everyday, a lot of times upward to 3pm or more. ah ..fond memories of nothingness. :D

[littlest-bee]

. bills, bills, bills in the post this morning

. I'm going to Spain in 20 days!

. I'm tired already and the week's only just begun.

[Cuilanië]

- I had a summer like that when I had an evening job -- I'd get up around 2pm, go to work by five, work until eleven, come home... sometimes I'd stop and rent a couple of movies, sometimes I'd do other stuff; watch the sun rise, go to bed...

- It's another beautiful day, on the cool side again.

- I like sky blue, but only in the sky...

[Cuilanië]

- I wonder if Rosie's flying to Spain or going the land route?

- I crossed the Channel once on a ferry-boat, it was fun.

- I once took a ferry from Vancouver to Victoria too. I think I like traveling on water.

[littlest-bee]

We're flying to Spain. Once I got a ferry from England to Santander in North Spain and it was one of the worst crossings they'd ever made. The sea was ridiculously rough and nearly everyone, including many of the ferry's staff got seasick. I am an amazingly good traveller though and it simply made me feel very relaxed, like being rocked to sleep all the time!

I love travelling on water but I also love flying. There's a residual glamour to air travel (and sea travel) despite the fact it's normally pretty uncomfortable and crowded on flights!

I used to speak Spanish fairly well but I was thinking about it this morning and realised I can't remember the word for "stamp". (I was thinking I must remember to take my address book so I can send postcards!)

[zanna]

5:54am ..still up :(

la de la de da ..just singing a song, hoping i'll go to sleep before the 2nd coming of christ ..

my friend who was over until 9:30 last night just imed me because she had to get up and go to school. she said "wow, zanna. you'll up earlier than i've ever seen you." and i said "um, well, i haven't really went to bed yet .." oh my. :blink:

[littlest-bee]

Zanna, go to sleep - you'll go loopy!

I just ate an oatcake with my morning coffee.

I hate the residue left in the sink after you wash up. I hate it even more when people don't wipe or rinse it away.

[zanna]

ok.

just a quick note.

i am now, finally, laying down to, hopefully, go to sleep for the night. :)

[bluecrayon]

Life is complicated on my end and I have to wait until my house is asleep before I talk to him...

and sometimes we just talk INTO these early morning hours...

and late at night creeping into the dawn is when our guard comes down and we can dance somewhere other than here...

[medeous]

all three of my morning classes are going on field trips today.

i wasn't aware of this until just now.

i almost peed my pants when i found out. oh joy! :D

[sarahkate]

~ Another weekend bites the dust. Another unproductive weekend. :(

~ I want to go to Spain with Rosie! ¡Deseo ir a España con Rosie!

~ I am sad that chunkymonkey won't be around for a while. I will miss her. Note to self: send many packages of fun things to Veronica to keep her occupied while she is without internet access!

[littlest-bee]

¡Si! ¡Yo quiero ir a España con SarahKate tambien!

I hope my Spanish is okay - I'm a bit rusty!

My Beatles' Revolver cd keeps skipping.

[medeous]

i just bit the head off a chocolate bunny when no one was looking

i'm going to have to do grades soon. bleh

i have chocolate breath.

[zanna]

so i layed down around 7:30am, but unfortunatly the fates would not allow me to get even a few hours of sleep.

i was having a hard time falling asleep [like i hadn't been all night], i had been laying there for like 20 min. and i thought if i gave it another 5 or so, i just might make it to a slumbering rest ..

but nooooo. three people decide to call all within 10 minutes of each other. it was horrible, i finally just accepted that today would be spent without any sleep whatsoever. i got up and went out and met the last person who called, because today is one of those days when i just feel like i need to roll over and die.

[medeous]

i look cute today.
i'm going to bump the what are you wearing thread.
i feel urban and sex-A in these pants.

[zanna]

i'm feeling really really tired today.

but i can't allow myself to fall asleep now because i know a little 'nap' would have me sleeping until 10pm tonight the way i'm feeling!

so my plan is to be productive and wait until the night hours so i can hopefully get to sleep at a normal hour ..down with the insomnia!

[Larrissa]

i have some more shoulds

i was productive with my nness to do's

i am scared and silly

[sarahkate]

~ I watched the movie Love Actually this weekend. It was really good, despite the fact that Hugh Grant stars in it.

~ I wonder if any N'ness members are celebrities using a fake name. That would be odd. Hmmm...

~ I wish I could take a road trip across the United States and Canada. I could stop and meet all of you N'ness people. Oooh what fun.

[Larrissa]

must make 3000 posts before going for a few hours!
(uhmm, 40 posts a day average? my sister is right, i have no "life")

fake nails are all grunged out, my nails grow fast so theres a big gap behind the arcylic and underneath is all gross because i play in the dirt, and acrylic art paint sticks to them, three have broke so far. i probably need to go get them removed somehow, they look gross even though i really like them this way.

spending time avoiding how you are and convincing youself you are a certain way is not the way to be the way you want. as is that made sense. i have lots of personal work to do. dont neglect yourself.

[Nix]

humm ok i'm new to this board and i'm still finding my feet so i figured i'd add some, humm interesting, well random facts and me here!

* I used the words "Alas" "tis" and "twas" too much in everyday conversation

* I should be finishing an art project but as usual i have lost myself in the virtual world again

* In five weeks time i will be in amsterdam on the second day of my five week backpacking around Europe adventure :D :D :D

[Larrissa]

welcome nix!! :wave:

four shots of espresso dont even do anything anymore ...

im a dork, you know.

[Nix]

hey :wave:

Ahhh i'm immune to coffee, i work in a coffee shop tis a good cure!!

* another random fact i like ginger nut biscuits yum :D

* i have two tattoos, both involving stars, i have three stars on the back of my neck, and two interwining stars on the inside of my left forearm (humm ok i went into a lot of detailed there :huh: )

*my hair is in a very random mood today and no matter what i do to it, its sticking up all over the place :P

[zanna]

hard at work on my door project ..

i am determined to finish it by graduation this saturday, i've spent the better half of a year with it only half-way done. that shall be no more.

hopefully i'll get to bed at a reasonable hour tonight [seeing as how i didn't even go to sleep last night which ya'll know because of my whining and continuous updates on the lack of sleep i was getting] because tomorrow i think i need to go shopping. ugh. this, i dread.

~ I wonder if any N'ness members are celebrities using a fake name. That would be odd. Hmmm...

1. Well, does it count that I might be a goddess? The proof is in the posting...

a.I just found out that while my mother married my 'father' before I was born, she never added his name to the birth certificate.

b. My mother was obsessed with greek myths when she was preggers with me, and just before. She told me once she wanted to name me a 26 letter greek name. My real name (Nicole) is greek for victory.

c. I'm thinking that really I have no father, except for Zeus, who was known to be a playa' back in the day. And because he was known for his shortie lovin' (my mom is about 5 feet tall), he told my mom to neglect the father space of my birth certificate, hoping one day to restore my birthright...

Now, the only question I have is what is my goddess-super-power type thing??? hmm..

2. As you can tell, I feel a little better despite everything going on. I think I might honestly have smiled once in the last twenty minutes.

3. I'm making chili for dinner, despite the heat. I mean, it just sounds so good right now...

[Dalmaney]

1. I am soooo far behind on the forums that I will never read all the things I have missed.

2. I'll just pick it up in a couple weeks when I'm bored and keep on truckin'.

3. I only have two more weeks with the Boy. This will be followed by eleven (or twelve) weeks without him.

[sarahkate]

~ Ooooh...very interesting. A Nervousness Goddess! :)

~ I took the last sip of green tea from the bottle. So sad. *sigh*

~ We brought my dog over to my bf's parents' house yesterday. She really likes their bunnies, who live in cages outside of the house. She went up and smelled them, and then went under the cages so she could smell their feet. Silly dog.

[gwensmom]

Hey, Nix, where all will you be going on your trip? *need jealous icon!*

Gwen has been whining and complaining all day. I may not have fed her enough. She is most likely bored and summer school doesn't start until a week from tomorrow! :o

I am bored too. someone come over here and entertain me.

[Larrissa]

im going to the dmv after the stepdad gets home, 23 years old and getting a learners permit. i hope no one decides to make fun of me for it :rolleyes:

my cat hasnt been seen for 24 hours, but im sure he will come back. the dogs here scare the poo out of him, but im still his mother

i wonder if that post will actually get bod*mod*erated ....

[sarahkate]

~ I wonder why Larrissa would wonder if her post would be bod*mod*erated. :unsure:

~ My computer is crazy slow today. So frustrating.

~ My bf is building me some raised plant beds tonight so I can finally plant some of my flowers. Yipeeee!

[Larrissa]

go look in the nervousness monkeys thread :lol:

sirius dared me

i cant resist

[sarahkate]

~ Oh I see. :lol:

~ I wonder if I dared Larrissa to mail nekkid pics of herself to random N'ness people, if she would? But I wouldn't dare her to do that because that would just be too crazy. :P

~ Time to go home. I should be staying here for another hour since I arrived at work very late this morning, but I won't.

Bye!

[zanna]

for some reason today feels like it should be a tuesday.

and if i don't think about it very much all of a sudden i just know without a doubt that today is actually sunday.

but i shake my head because i'm all confused. perhaps it's my messed up sleep-schedule, but really. today must be tuesday. the calenders must be wrong ..

:D I feel like my arms and legs are in a very random mood today and they keep tripping over my head whenever I turn around ...

Amsterdam is a place I've always wanted to go... ragged edges of freedom on a frazzled planet

Hi to Nix from me, too. ;)

[Cuilanië]

- I'm here but my head isn't. My head is with my heart, 9000km away.

- The cramp is still lurking, I hope it dies and goes to hell...

- I got up at a normal hour, and I might even go to sleep at a normal hour. Something's wrong with me. :lol:

(Hi Nicole! :wave: )

no, i wouldnt. thank you for offering such a crazy dare though :D

i wear the same clothes for three days in a row, and sleep in them too. im a damned dirty hippie, deal with it! B)

i havent watched or listened to the news for so long, i feel guilty. and thats a rare thing for me, guilt. the news upsets me too much now. used to listen to NPR for 3+hours a day ... <_<

*bonus:attack of the smilies!!
:huh: :o :P :D :lol: B) :rolleyes: <_<
:angry: :unsure: :wacko: :blink: :ph34r: :'( :yay: ^_^

:evil:

[medeous]

i've read 4 books by garth nix
my arms and legs are achey
once again, some kid i trusted stole from me...candy and pencils. dammit, i give them everything they ask for, why do they have to steal?? it pisses me off so much. and it hurts my feelings.

[siafu]

aw medeous. i'm sorry. :( :hug:

just as with other areas of property law, on the multistate, you can forget the minority rules. lucky me.

my mother in law is coming to oregon this weekend. :o

[zanna]

wow. it's absolutely crammed up in here ..

aside from me still knowing how to be sarcastic with enormous sleep deprivation, i think i am finally going to get to go to bed.

after trying really hard many times, sleep was not within my grasp last night, but tonight will not be the same! i will prevail and you shall not hear from me for the duration of the night again and most likely not until i wake up ..sometime 2 weeks from now. cheerio!

[Sirius]

I remember how to get around the 20 smilie rule.

I'll keep it our little secret...but if Seusomon comes back he'll spill the beans.

based on today, it's going to be a long week.....

[medeous]

i replaced the butt-pinching toilet seat!
i feel so empowered.
and really achey and tired.

[Sirius]

sounds like medoueoeoeois is having a fun day

butt, she will be proud of herself every time she **insert Euphemism for going to the bathroom here**

I really couldn't decided on a euphemism, so thought allowing you to choose your favorite would be appropriate...

[medeous]

medoueoeoeois : this sounds like a disease
it sounds like madonna is on will & grace
my dog keeps barking at the TV...i don't think she likes it.

[bluecrayon]

edited down to nothing. which is sometimes the right thing to say. I'm going to bed.

[Larrissa]

will trade homemade delicious cookies for the smilie secret. i make goooood cookies, whatever kind you want. 1 dozen.

will trade my pinky toe on the left foot for more thought organization, enough where i can think things out, rather than just watch something other than me coast through ... "it" is really good at it, but sometimes "it" is frustrating.

will trade my bad memories of seventh grade for your memories of seventh grade, good or bad. perhaps eighth grade if those are more interesting.

[Larrissa]

*i feel weird when someone edits what i just read down to nothing

*outside my immediate view of sight, things move that arent there

*chris rock? :huh: my sister watches such doodie sometimes, i dont understand ....

[zanna]

edited to just sum it up by saying my toe hurts.

so, yeh.

my toe hurts.

[zanna]

bleh.

never got back to sleep.

off to try yet again to fall asleep.

[medeous]

perhaps a spider lives in your shoe
you poked him with your foot
so he bit you on the toe.

[Larrissa]

i must go do some nness art now.

a monkey adventure is not coming to me the way it should.

im worried.

[medeous]

second day in a row that a fifth grader has stolen from me.

wearing cutie-patootie shoes.

our librarian wrote a play that the sixth grade students put on this morning. it was full of mean-spirited parodies of the teachers. i was appalled that this was allowed. it was very offensive. if i had been portrayed the way many of my colleagues were, i'm quite sure that i would've burst into tears. the children, of course, howled with laughter. i'm still a bit in shock, and very sad for my friends that were hurt by this. :(

[thunderstorm_19]

1..... really frustrated and annoyed

2..... really need a fresh start

3..... really need to bust arse on some nness projects but just not inspired right now

[littlest-bee]

This is how work was today: grumble grumble grumble.

I'm being fed pizza because I am so scowly.

This day started wrong and got worse. I woke up in a panic (literally sat up and gasped) because I thought it was Monday...it's Tuesday which isn't much better really but it's still one day closer to that heavenly three day weekend...

[Sirius]

larrissa could go to sarah's class and explain to fifth graders what it is like to go to jail...

wonder why larrissa is worried

wonder about a lot of things

[siafu]

i have an interview at berlitz today.

eeee!

i better go drink coffee before the small bus comes.

[Sirius]

Good luck with the interview.

... i can't help it, "The Small Bus" comments make me giggly.

I like being giggly.

[Larrissa]

giggling and mountains: two of the best things about life

puzzle peices and thesamebutnotquite: lmaos done today

crayon 4x4 cards and stamps for a zine: two things sent today

(i was only in juvenile hall for three days, and only a holding cell for more than a few hours ... :P )

[Larrissa]

rustell: worried about the monkey adventure! could you please maybe give me a few hints about what other people have sent you so far? i cant seem to find the middle between lame and insane ....

i fell all special when i get an email from someone here. its like when you have a friend in class and one day you actually talk outside school. :rolleyes:

so no offers on the cookies for smilie secret? come on ... its a simple secret isnt it? i could figure it out if i tried? well damn, im lazy and should be working on the monkey adventure and packaging the paper clips and asking about the drawings being copied or not. but no. im being a new post vulture and wasting time posting facts!

[Cuilanië]

:crossed: 'Luck, T!!

Bathroom light out, no replacement tubes at store. No light till tomorrow.

Feeling kinda terse...

[Cuilanië]

Don't think cookies would survive all the way to France.

Not sure package would arrive anyway.

Damn La Poste.

[Cuilanië]

Saddened by medeous' school stories...

I remember we did something similar, in a 'year review' video, to our homeroom teacher in seventh/eighth grade (combined class), and he cried. But in fact, we were recalling an incident that happened during the year. And he cried because he was leaving the school, too.

That teacher gave us all a copy of Le Petit Prince, making it my second copy. Now I no longer know where either of those copies are.

[Cuilanië]

That teacher also introduced us to A Midsummer Night's Dream and Cyrano de Bergerac.

He was a bit of an ass, but now I remember him rather fondly...

That was sixteen years ago. Yipe.

[Cuilanië]

I realise I'm talking to myself, here...

The smilie secret is easy, but we found out by accident.

I rather like the French saying that goes: 'Le secret est dans la sauce'. I think that's what they used as the French title for Fried Green Tomatoes.

[Cuilanië]

I could check that last statement of mine, but I'm being lazy.

I still have not found a job. That has to change within the next month, or July will be very difficult.

My mother is coming to visit from June 12th through the 19th.

[Cuilanië]

Seventh 3RF post in a row...

I ought to knock it off and go do something useful. Like art, or cook food, or even do the dishes.

That was probably very grammatically ugly.

[Cuilanië]

There's a loud pigeon in the courtyard.

There's a lady who keeps trying to scare it off.

It's rather ineffectual, but she makes more noise than the pigeon...

[Larrissa]

if i say what i supposed to do here, then i have the motivation of sticking to my word. it helps a little. when the stepdad wakes up from his nap, there will be the dmv/library trip.

its cold and grey today. i left texas while it was summer there, my body does not like to move in the cold when not used to it. (and i want to move to canada, ha!) still got some work done before being hooked in here again

art on command is a little more difficult than i thought. i apparently still have the habit from school of waiting until right before the deadline to do the project. MUST CHANGE THIS.

The secret is in the sauce, oui??

That's actually in the movie. And I think, if you've read the book or seen the movie you realize that title fits... Kinda makes an eerie Shirley Jackson feel out of a sweet Jessica Tandy movie, LOL...

Nick got off work and I caught him jumping in my car. He had his motorcycle exam booklet with him... darnit!

I'm working later than normal, so he better make dinner. I want a hamburger and fries (I bake them in the over) or a potato very badly... With ketchup and pickle and mustard...

[Cuilanië]

I wonder who's here under the radar...

I see Ali -- :wave: -- hope you can sort out what needs to be sorted out...

I've begun to suspect that distance is all about paradoxes.

[Cuilanië]

C'est ça. The secret is in the sauce. (Hi!)

Baked potato... There's an idea. :D

I haven't eaten anything worthwhile today. Unfortunately, the same goes for yesterday, too.

[Cuilanië]

I remember jacket potatoes. Those are good.

It's dusk out there. Blue light and waxing moon due West.

I wish I was due West. Right now.

[Larrissa]

why the hell is it so hard to remove buttocks from chair??

im hungry and in need of a shower (damned dirty hippies!), with work to do!

okay okay im going to try justonce ....

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

**okay so editing in more doesnt work. thats my lame atttempt. maybe i will try something else later.

oh duh. of course theres the fact that i can do this:

i hope that worked

[Cuilanië]

Heh -- the French expression 'Etre à l'ouest' (to be in the West) means to be completely distracted, loopy, elsewhere in spirit...

By that standard, I guess I already am 'due West'.

I wish the physical me would wake up and realise this.

Does that answer your question?

There's some kind of mistake on my tax report, and I have to go to their offices tomorrow. Fortunately, that's no so very far from here.

[Larrissa]

that was easy.

*satisfation dance*

adios and have a nice day and love and all that stuff!

[Cuilanië]

Blech. I must've touched something my roommate accidentally sprayed with his perfume, the taste was on my fingers... (Ick)

Dinner would be a good idea at this point.

Not really hungry. The caffeine-withdrawal symptoms only just passed.

[stargal1998]

oooh, I get it... I'm hiding. I have no idea why. I was on earlier and it wasn't a problem.

Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines... aggh!

I wonder, where is Nymphette?

throw in love and noodles and you've got my heart! :)

some major dissonance this morning but I rode my bike out of it...

I am looking at my willow tree and kind of wanting to climb into it.

[littlest-bee]

We went for a walk this evening just as the dusky light was turning to darkness.

We saw the bridge lit up with hundreds and hundreds of tiny lights.

Whilst we were walking back across we met up with a class of kids, 10 or 11 years old, still young enough to think a bridge lit up in the dark is amazing (you know how some teenagers get too cool for stuff like that?!).

[Cuilanië]

I like watching the Eiffel tower when they start the sparkling lights...

Nymphette has a big case of 'life' and is running around like mad...

I like to climb trees. :)

[Cuilanië]

Yeah, I'm still hanging around.

Think I'll bump some games now, and maybe get to bed early again...

I've discovered that my copy of Word won't open WP documents, but Works will.

[Skilyne]

I had a pretty good day at work...busy, but good.

I bought plane tickets for my NYC trip last night...found them for only $138 roundtrip, so I am HAPPY!

I am re-reading "Animal Farm", because I love that book.

[Cuilanië]

Rattling around all alone...

I don't live on the same schedule as most of the regular chain gamers.

It's almost time for bed.

[Sirius]

i am so amused that Larrissa inadvertedly sent a dog h***er thing to everyone on the MOD and BOD.

it made my day.

i fully accept that I am easily amused.

[Someone]

I recently read a very interesting book about caving.

I wish it wasn't raining right now.

I think I'll bake a batch of brownies.

[Cuilanië]

It's two am here.

Go to bed, Eve.

Good night, everyone!

[siafu]

i am back. the interview was fine. i knew i could do the job and forgot to be nervous.

it is good that i ride the small bus because i am a small person. i'm only 5'2.25.

if i work there, i can take japanese and russian for free. that would be nice.

[bluecrayon]

I'm 5'11" so I'm guessing that small bus would not work for me! :D

My day started out with tears but he came and took me into joy -- yikes.

My story is all over these threads --

[siafu]

i like it when blue is happy.

i had jello for lunch, basically. i made this other thing, but i didn't like it.

i have to think of something clever to do with hamburger.

[Larrissa]

i don
