Three random facts:

[Larrissa]

there are a couple things messing up my chain game addiction.

one: it seems useless and inconsequential while conversing with J.

two: there is an adventure going on and *They read in here, when they get a chance .... and i feel strange talking about people that we know when they arent around.

THUS: not many Q&Q posts. though i am still up there with a 42 post a day average :huh:

^_^ ^_^ ^_^

[Cuilanië]

I'm thinking if I don't get a job soon I may have to face mom or dad's spare bedroom, or auntie's couch. This is so less than ideal, though.

I'm noticing how experience can link us to this or that person around here...

I want to read, know, study so many things it's not funny.

[Cuilanië]

I had a noticeable drop in chain game posting after the first few months.

Mostly because I got distracted.

I think my record was slightly over 170 posts in one night, the night I broke into the top ten poster list... ^_^

[Larrissa]

i am number 7 on the top ten

it embarrasses me in an odd way

i know nothing

[Cuilanië]

I think I got all the way up to #2 before I got distracted by my life.

I haven't opened the curtains yet and my desk lamp is turned on. I'm sitting in a reddish-yellow glow.

It's a fact that I can't let my roommate see the state the kitchen is in when he comes home from Barcelona...

[Larrissa]

ooooh yeah, i found out what the question room is. damn them :lol:

i am going to back to bed and avoid life a couple more hours.

i am thinking i am going to have to apply some creativity and gusto to making money, post haste.

[Helquin]

I'm lovin' that James Fenton poem that Cuilanië posted ("Favorite Lines" thread). B)

I forgot I left my oven on. It's been on for almost 8 hours! :lol:

So, what... that's like 3000 more posts I need to catch up with LaRrissa & Cuilanië? :huh:

[Helquin]

oh damn.

more like 3500-4000.

:lol:

i hit the send button before my mind could tell me "no!"

brave acts take bravery and i am going to have to collect some of both.

[Helquin]

;) no problem: just surprised me.

Hope things improve for you, L... I'll keep a good thought for you. Be brave! :D

I'm outta here for now, too... It's showtime. :rock:

[thunderstorm_19]

1 the cat decided i should get up at 8:20 this morning

2 i'm really enjoying my muffin and coffee breakfast

3 i'll be on my own all afternoon... :(

[ibiddy_boo]

Goodmorning y'all :)

Awwww....did Lerrissa leave already? (snickering because i am fully well aware of the incorrect spelling of her name)

i have been awake since 5:00 am

[ibiddy_boo]

i have a cat.

i am allergic to cats.

i pet my cat, then unthinkingly rubbed my eyes. Care to guess what happened? <_<

[zanna]

well ..i took a break from posting here ..a 2 and a 1/2 year break. :o

but when i had joined the end of 2001, they're was hardly anyone here along with me.

the boards weren't active, and i maybe posted like 5 times, but there really was nothing going on here. it was really dead, so i basically just joined and left because it took like 2 days to get a reply from someone else.

i come back though about march this year and realize the boards aren't like they used to be. what i had been missing out on for the past year or so! but i'm glad i'm here now. :)

[Lilac]

I've been up since 7 this morning, working out in the barn. I'm a terrible mess and coughing like a fiend from all the dust and hay!

Skipped church again. What a sinner I am.

Going to Cruizapalooza with my Mom later. (It's a small town thing...kind of embarrassing to even admit what it is!)

There was a chipmunk swiming in our pool.

We think he fell in.

We got him out with a pool net.

Oh, it's not just a lot! It's the whole downtown Main street! They close it off just for this event!

We're taking my Step father's car. Mine would get laughed out, too!

Not looking forward to this, but my Mom loves it, so what the heck!

[Astabeth]

I've been curious about Hammerquill - I have been for a while, I think it was because of something he posted - maybe a reference to Sutton Hoo...

I went to his website. I really like his stuff - think it's awesome!

:hug: :hug: to Helquin.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has this problem!

Were the :drool: and the :naughty: ones always there or have they been recently added? Surely I haven't missed them for this long!

This guy -> http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/v56/astabeth/angry-smiley-014.gif looks like he's leering. Maybe he's saying "this paper means I get to have sex with you or you're fired" or something like that.

[Lilac]

Well, I need to get going and get some stuff done.

I'm kind of embarrassed by the amount of posting I've been doing here, but I shouldnt be because I'm having fun!

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

[Lilac]

Ah Heck...I'm just not in the mood to do any more work today...

Someone give me some incentive to get off this darn computer and get my butt moving!

I'm so lazy!

[Curlita]

I'm planning on having a fried egg sandwich and coffee for breakfast.

I didn't sleep well last night, overwhelmed by a long list of stressors.

I have to work later today, which just increases my grump factor.

[tanagee]

I did a yahoo search for Cruizapalooza and all it came up with is riverboats and rockbands, and since lilac and helquin were talking about cars I don't think it has anything to do with boats.

Long day at the race track yesterday, traumatized my kid by waking her up from her carseat slumber and making her take a bath when we got home...

She was so upset she pee'd on the floor. :(

[amylyn]

My kids are actually cleaning their room, I had to threaten them with loss of limb or playstation, but they are doing it.


It is my mom's 54th birthday, and she looks gorgeous.

I can't get enough nonfat doubleshot iced mochas to prepare me for work today.

Give credit where it is due: hammerquill introduced me to Fenton. Actually, to most of the English poetry I know, poor French Canadian girl that I am, who had no proper English classes since junior high...

Yeah, that poem keeps me going when I feel like calling myself names.

I did this on April 16...while the brown IS a little lighter it still hasn't washed out.

It said 30 shampoos...while I do only wash my hair every other day (in a good week) I think the blonde should have been back by now.

I'm not complaining mind you I am happy not to have noticable roots.

Probably the same thing that happens to me when I neglect to wash my hands after petting a cat. Let's see: rash along the jawline, burning itchy teary eyes, clogged throat, stuffed nose... Did I forget something?

A hug for Granny Cindy, that's what.

I want cake. Someone bring me cake. :lol:

[bluecrayon]

I am driving out of the city today to meet some relatives I've never met even though for 20 years they have lived only a few hours away... such was the nature of deceit on my father's part

Death brings out so many truths and my father was enmeshed in enigma and a need to be invisible, I guess...

I hope to die with a clear conscience and no secrets...

[bluecrayon]

I am also voicing my agreement that Hammerquill's work is, indeed, awesome. Having been lucky enough to see some of it "live" I can say that with all honesty... :)

I have been loving Helquin's contributions to the Favorite Lines thread...

I have been loving hanging here this past week -- it has almost made up for all the distances in my life and the missing of Him.

well... almost. :(

:( Ah, miss crayon, as I have been told, we're insane... but I say in a good way. :)

My hair is getting long enough that I have to use a comb on it. 'Just my fingers' is no longer sufficient to discipline the wayward curls.

And my skin thinks it's teenaged again. Sigh.

[thunderstorm_19]

- i can't find my watercolours

- yet again, the one thing i currently want, is hiding

- well i guess i'll do something else first

[siafu]

i am going to see fleetwood mac on july fifth. we are riding the rock and roll bus to the amphitheater. :lol: then we are sitting in the 2 for 1 lawn seats we got and listening hard.

we went to the grossery store last night. i got cracklin oat bran and bananas. i don't buy that cereal much cos it costs a lot, considering it's cereal, but i got up in time to enjoy it today.

today, i am writing essays like nobody's bidness. http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/alles_moegliche/mixed-smiley-033.gif

I did that for Halloween a few years ago - no wait, about a decade ago? When Sandman was big, I went as Death for Halloween and couldn't find any black spray-on hair color, so I bought the kind that (supposedly) washes out in 8 shampoos. It had to grow out. :(

Hopefully, yours will wash out eventually. If you want it to.

I think today should be dubbed Hammerquill Appreciation Day in 3RF! :D

[Skilyne]

I am having some sort of emotional breakdown today. I don't know exactly why...but I can think of several factors that are playing into it...Him being one of them. But even Him aside, I still am having a breakdown.

I woke up ok, but then just curled up on the floor and dissolved into tears.

Now I am just laying here in a pool of self-pity and a mess of tears all dried on my face.

[siafu]

Skilyne, i'm so sorry you feel sad today.

i am rooting for you!

i hope you feel better soon.

:hug:

[Skilyne]

My last post was fairly negative...and I don't mean to be that way. But...

I think that yes-Helquin appreciation day is a wonderful idea.

I haven't posted much these last few days, because I've been feeling so sad...hence the apparent breakdown today. What is wrong with me?

[Lilac]

Plenty of hugs to Skilyne.

If I were there, I'd wrap you in big sisterly arms and let you cry your little heart out.

I'm hoping everything turns out okay!

[Skilyne]

If I were there, I'd wrap you in big sisterly arms and let you cry your little heart out. Thank you Lilac...my big sister. :)
i am rooting for you! Thank you Siafu!!! Much appreciated! :)

I am going to maybe take a nap and then do some art...this might make me feel better.

If anyone should want something sent to them, PM me and I will make you some art this afternoon.

[Lilac]

I, too, adore Helquin! :wub:

[Astabeth]

:hug: :hug: to Skilyne!

There is no caffeine in the house :(

I hate it when I send off my contribution to an LMAO and never know if it arrived!

[Larrissa]

i have alot to do today.

after pretending the world didnt exist for a few hours of sleep, i wake up and come straight to the computer

damn monitor has braincontrol waves emanating out of its evil plastic, i know it.

[Curlita]

We have an ant infestation in our kitchen. Argh!

We put out the kinds of little traps where the ants are supposed to go in, munch down on poision, and then take it back to the nest and kill everyone there.

How it works: I watch the ants stop at the edge of the trap, examine it, and then walk around it. Then I squish them with my thumb.

[Curlita]

I've been thinking about putting a temporary rinse on my hair. I've noticed A LOT of grey appearing in the last couple months.

I've informed the dog that any toys he does not play with in the next two weeks will be thrown away.

It's hard to get motivated to pack when you don't know where you are moving to.

[bluecrayon]

p.s. -- I love Helquin, too!!! :wub:

[Larrissa]

we didnt start the fire by billy joel is a song i rocked to alot when VERY young. and the pink floyd song with the kids not getting dessert until they eat their meat.

apparently "rock out" has a different definition up north.

i just wanna communicate with J. whenever im online but hes impossible to expect to be around <_< damn him.

[Larrissa]

hmmm, love. i have it for a few on here.

i should get up now.

actually i should make a list of the LMAOs that are all due on june 30th, i put them all off until the very last minute, i guess kinda like my job situation.

(i have not been using these enough :D :lol: :) silly me)

except that the idiot who put in the new alternator (right before we bought it...) didn't attach a bolt right and some pulley or something came loose and the alternator fell and ratched the belt.... the belt- for the power steering, air conditioning, everything........ :(

so now not only do we have to replace the belt, which luckily is cheap, but we have to get rid of hte brand new alternator and get anotehr new one, at our expense.... because it stripped some bolt threads and can't be reattached.... :(

and if chris' brother can't get it done tomorrow morning, i dont' get my respite this week!!!! :'(

<sigh> i was just gettting used to having a bit of freedom and now who knows!!! depends on how much it will cost to replace the freaking alternator..... :( ah well... such is life, right???? keep on slogging....

i am very jealous of BOTH of these facts!!!!!!!

i love fleetwood mac and nobody here enjoys them so if they ever came here, which is very doubtful, nobody would want to go with me.... except maybe indigo's hubby.... i think he likes fleetwood mac, but i dont' think he'd want to spend an evening alone with me... :o :P :D i think i still scare him, i terrorized him and my sister in high school, so.... <_<

and cracklin oat bran is sooo yummy... not as yummy as cracklin' bran, which i haven't seen in about 20 years, but.... you cant' get either here anymore... :( :'( cn you still ge tcracklin' bran in the states?????

[hammerquill]

I'm wondering what Astabeth is curious about.

I had been wondering whether people would start to get Helquin and me confused (two of the still-few-and-far-between guys here, and both HQs). Now I see it's happened.

One thing I like about the 3RF thread is that, not being a chain game, I can take as long as I feel like coming up with these facts.

[Cuilanië]

The kitchen is clean. Well, except for the floor, but I was fed up.

My back muscles are all tightand achey-like...

I should see my doctor this week. Need a prescription renewed. I think I've said this before...

[Larrissa]

cleaned pages 190 - 166.

[mcdonalds <_< damn.]

maybe one day i wll be caught up and just edit away everything once a week.

what a strange thing to put effort into.

[Larrissa]

i should caaaaaaaaaaaaaaall again.

i hafta go in twelve minutes, again.

what did i do today? not much, but actually alot when i think about it in the right way .... perspective isnt useless.

[Lilac]

I just came back from Cruizapalooza, after getting into a public argument with an asshole I've never met before!

Part of me wants to get a butcher knife and go back in there, find him and....well...you know.

****fuming**** Hoping playing chain games will calm me down.

[Skilyne]

Sorry to hear that Lilac! Hope playing online helps you calm down...but he probably would deserve whatever you wanted to give him with that butcher knife. Someone messing with my sister???!!!

I made some lovely art...

I am feeling a little better than I was before.

Yeah Skilyne...someone was messin' with your sister....but I took care of it! ;)

[Lilac]

The adrenaline rush from the argument must be leaving my body. Suddenly I'm feeling very, very tired and rundown.

At least I'm calm...I'm just sitting here watching these two crows outside my window. They are pecking the ground real hard, almost digging. I'm sure they're bringing up some sort of insect, but I'm too far away to see. And I'm too lazy to go upstairs and get my binoculars.

They are quite amusing, though.

[Larrissa]

margaret cho has balls, shes fucking hilarious.

it rained.

my phone card ran out.

[Curlita]

What is Larrissa cleaning from the files, I wonder? Hmmm.

I'm getting ready to start a non-n-ness year-long journal project. I'm a little intimidated, but I'm looking forward to it.

My feet are enormous. I'm trying to figure out what I ate that is making them swell.

[kamoke]

It's official, I need to quit the aerosol. I have some minor shakes, the inners are aching, and my brain is on much mode

I must be PMSing today <_<

one of my posters got removed... :(

:lol: I wondered if anyone noticed that a couple pages back! And I, too, have been wondering how long it would take for the two "H-Q" males to become conflated in the others' minds... ;)

Good news: my family member is recovering well from congestive heart failure and could be released from hospital as early as tomorrow afternoon.

I'm feelin' love for Janis Joplin right now... but how about that scrappy Lilac, huh?! You can dress her up in a moustache but ya can't take her out! :lol:

Lilac: seems to me you were right in the spirit of the event! At least that's what our local "Cruisefest" is like! :P

:blush: bashful thanks to Skilyne, Lilac, Blue, any others I may have missed.

OK, I'm gonna chain for ONE HOUR... :wacko:

[Skilyne]

I am VERY tired. So what am I doing online? Oh...the obsession-as always.

I am hoping that this week at work goes well. I have off Friday...so it is only 4 days. I can handle 4 days-right? RIGHT! That's right Erica...you can do 4 days like nothing! (a little self-motivation right there)

I am sending out some mail tommorow...and I am excited about that. I always get excited when I send stuff out.

Glad to hear that your family member is recovering!!!!

Glad to see you online...unfortunatly, I'll be getting off soon. Back to work tomorrow. :(

[gwensmom]

I was supposed to take a bunch of photos today and I never touched the camera.

But I did dye my hair, made postcards envies an ATC and a CD mailer, knit 6 more rows on a cap, return a video to the store, post about a book I'm reading for an online book discussion (and read another chapter), and balance my checkbook.

I have put myself on yarn restriction. I can't buy any more until I substantially reduce my stash. But there is a sale on Cotton Tots at Michaels and I feel myself weakening.

Since the school year ended (and I have been home with Gwen so much) I have gained back the weight I lost. :angry: Mostly because of too many cokes and tortilla chips.

My mom refused to go see Farhenheit 9/11. I guess what you don't know can't hurt you :blink: So tomorrow I'm taking her to see Supersize Me and I've already seen it!

If you came to my house you would never know that I have been decluttering since early spring. :(

Every time I walk into my kitchen and see my new table and chairs I get happy.

[kamoke]

i am blah

there are two voices I would love to listen to right now. but they are not available for my use.

I think I'm a little confused right now. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by the thought of my future.. I am also feeling.. just, overloaded.. with what I'm not sure

[zanna]

i'm hungry,

yet tired,

and in need of more time.

[Helquin]

My one hour of chaining turned into two... but now it's time to go. ;)

Two funny memories came up while online tonight:

(1) When Mountain Dew was marketed as a "hillbilly" drink (anyone else remember "Yahoo! -- Mountain Dew" :lol: ?)

(2) When almost everyone around here assumed I was female (before I put the pic in my profile, obviously :D )

It's been fun tonight. :) Big day tomorrow...

i don't like this picture so much, but it'll do.

more comfortable hair when it isn't poking me in my eye :poke:

[hammerquill]

I think the picture's cute.

I'm looking forward to more entries in Theresa's blog. I mean, it's not as if she has anything more important to do, right? :lol:

Gwensmomsmom should be old enough to know that what you don't know can hurt you.

[siafu]

blue! how was the foray?

heh. i was thinking i could at least write short entries.

and thanks for the thumbs up on the picture.

[bluecrayon]

siafu is one cute sprite!

I missed all the action here tonight, shucks. (two hours of Helquin... :'( )


families are odd pockets of genetic similarity and personality chasms...

[tanagee]

back to SP tana avatar...

This (http://nhra.com/2004/news/june/062701.html) happened this afternoon and it has my hubby very sad. and me being the morbid person I am I keep watching ESPN to see the crash.

I just realized that I never replaced the sheets on the bed after Megan & the lotion 'happened' on my bed, and my hubby went to bed an hour ago.

[Obsidian_Cat]

I am reveling in the fact that pointy-toed shoes are coming back.

I didn't get to do anything fun this weekend... too much work and too many animals to take care of for other people. :'(

I'll probably get over it if I whine about it long enough! :P

[Larrissa]

i am speechless.

damn.

good morning though

[Larrissa]

well im going to back to bed.

life avoidance for a few more hours.

as i have to go sacrifice my morals in search of money.

[Obsidian_Cat]

I wish I could go back to bed.

But I can't, I have to meet with my supervisor at 10am and catch her up on "what I've been doing."

Do you think if I say "goofing on the internet" she might be upset?

[Larrissa]

**quote this

[Larrissa]

why havent i left yet?

why wont my ear pop and make me un-dizzy?

why did i drink so much caffiene last night i couldnt stop pacing around?

[thunderstorm_19]

- more Nness work to do today...

- must vote!

- stupid cat didnt' go out before bedtime for a while, so he decided he needed to go out and pee at 5:40 this morning. (he doesn't use the litter box).

[Lilac]

I love the new haircut, Siafu! How adorable!!!

Yep, I can definately see you in a courtroom, intimidating the heck out of all the male lawyers!!

Go, Go, Go, Siafu!!!!!

[Curlita]

Another thumb's up on Theresa's cut... although now I've lost my hair-gorwing partner!

There are ants infesting our kitchen. I don't know if I've already used this as a random fact, but everyday the soul of the infestation moves to a new part of the house and horrifies me anew.

I also have shinsplints, which are threatening my newly re-established walking routine. :(

[Lilac]

:angry: Yuck! Shinsplints!!! I used to get them all the time when I ran track in HIgh School!

I can't stay on long, in fact I'm a bit nervous (heh heh) being on right now because I have a lot of work to be doing and my boss keeps popping in my office, damn him! :ph34r:

I have metal melting coffee breath!

[bluecrayon]

I was up at 630am this morning even though I'm on vacation.

My mind just can't stay asleep and gets restless

I went for a walk instead and watched the sun tease the horizon.

[sarahkate]

~ On Friday morning as I was about to leave for work I realized that one of my cats was missing. I am guessing that he escaped when I let the dog out to do her business on Thursday night before I went to bed, at around 11:00 PM. I called in to work & told them I wouldn't be coming in. I was in a panic. Jasper is about 3 or 4 years old, and he has been an indoor cat since we found him as a stray when he was still really young. I was having horrible visions of him being squished on the road or tortured by the moronic boys in the neighborhood. It seriously was one of the saddest days of my life. My boyfriend & I put up a ton of flyers around the neighborhood & I called animal shelters.

~ At around 8:30 PM on Friday night I went outside to call Jasper one more time because it was getting dark. I really didn't expect anything... but a minute or two after I called him I heard a little *MEOW* I couldn't believe it! Then I looked up and there he was running towards me across our backyard!!!! :D :wub: So now he is home... safe & sound. I'm just curious about where he was all of that time.

~ I feel like I haven't been on N'ness forever, but it has only been since Thursday afternoon. There were so many 3RFs to catch up on though! Geez, you all went on a posting frenzy.

I keep tryng to tell her this!

Two thumbs up for the new Siafu do!

Poor Gwen is sick today and we had to stay home from school and work. She has a virus which is kind of a relief. After having no seizures for 2.5 years she was doing some very minor twitching yesterday. But we know that viruses cause this so there's no worry. She is resting and listening to a Bedtime Bach for Babies CD.

All you Canadians go vote today! Elect some people with some sense to make up for what is going on to the south of you.

[sarahkate]

~ On Saturday I went to my boyfriend's youngest sister's high school graduation. It was crazy seeing her get her diploma. I have known their family since she was about 5 or 6 years old, and now she is all "grown up" - unbelievable!

~ In the middle of the graduation ceremony we heard a loud *CRACK* *BOOM* - a folding chair that a woman was sitting on broke and she fell to the floor. This woman was very large too. I felt bad! :(

~ I dyed my hair a lighter shade of blonde last week. It looks ok I guess but the hair near my roots just seems a little bit too bright. I can't get used to it.

[kamoke]

ayah! voting today!
The radio says that mr Rex Barnes will give me a ride to the polling station if we have no transportation.

my stomach is begging me for some substance right now

'sooth' says the music

[thunderstorm_19]

1 so photos of the house are being taken tomorrow at 1 (25 hours from now)

2 i hope that doesn't mean i am supposed to be here to let the people in (dad's usually out at that time on tuesdays, and presumably someone has to be here)

3 i'm going to make a point of being out.

[Curlita]

Sarah, I'm so glad your kitty came home!! It always makes me sad when I see missing kitty posters.

The housepainters have all our windows covered with plastic. I feel like I'm living in a plague house. Either that or a boil-in-bag.

Trying to rally from my crummy day yesterday.

[Cuilanië]

Today was Embassy-visiting Day for me. I asked directions of a policeman guarding the USAmerican embassy, and he ogled my boobs. :angry:

I can't vote today because, get this, Canadians living abroad - except for certain categories of people like diplomatic personnel and armed forces - can only register to vote if they intend to resume residence in Canada. Which I don't. So no vote. :(

I bought a pineapple today.

*typo

[Cuilanië]

:yay: Theresa, nice haircut!

Whenever I see Frida Kahlo paintings, they always make me think of Theresa... although T doesn't frown nearly as much, I think.

My passport application is nearly filled out... I went and plagued the lady at the Canadian consular services with questions, and now I know all about what to do. :)

[Cuilanië]

There's a big annoying fly in my room. I'll go help it out the window...

I almost collided with a wasp as I was going into the Métro station this afternoon. It flew at me out of nowhere.

Strawberries. I got balsamic vinegar just for that. Well, I expect I'll be using it on salads a lot, too. :)

[Larrissa]

mmmmm foood

i dont wannnnnna go out

i haaaaaaave to

[Cuilanië]

The strawberries were good, thank you. ^_^

Legal texts are causing my brain to melt. I don't know how law students survive this. Much admiration of Theresa!

I am currently wondering about dinner...

~ Strawberries and balsamic vinegar taste good together?!?! Who woulda thunk! :blink: I might have to try that sometime.

~ Last night I had fruit salad with Cool Whip. It was good. I wish I could have some more right now.

~ I found out the only financial aid I will be getting for college is a government loan for $2600 for the whole 2004-2005 school year. I was hoping for more. I'm not sure how I will be able to go back to school now because my credit is so horrible that I'm not sure I will be approved for a college loan from a bank. :(

[siafu]

hey sarahkate :hug: good seein ya. sign up for fastweb and all the other scholarship information sites.

aw gwen. here's good vibes hopin you feel better.

i got most of one essay done yesterday. but i was feeling kind of icky. i need to do two more before lunch, regardless.

I'm also interested in this... what sites? :)

<whump!> that was my head against the wall. A student visa is out of the question -- I won't be able to prove I don't plan on immigrating... There goes that bright idea.

[Cuilanië]

Heyya cb, Theresa, SK!!!

Beautiful day today, after a whole week - and two weekends - of mostly crappy weather.

Why isn't there an immigrant category called 'I wanna immigrate to the US because I love it so much'???

Why borders, anyway...

[zanna]

my sarahkate! :kiss:

did i scare ya yet?

~ Funny you mention that because I had signed up at FastWeb a long time ago, but I was lazy and didn't actually follow through with any of the scholarship applications. The other day I decided to check it out again since I knew I would need all the financial help I could get. There is actually a scholarship specifically for people with lots of credit card debt. Can you believe it?! That one is right up my alley.

~ Aww ...my little sister zanna! :kiss: right back at ya babe. :wub:

~ I am chewing strawberry gum. The flavor "ran out" so now it seems like I am chewing on rubber. Bleck. I wonder what type of chewing gum holds its flavor the longest.

i saw your reflection in the window of a store

and then i found you and we went for lunch.

[Zorro]

im zorro

you arent

i dont like to be bored

[sarahkate]

~ I don't like to be bored either zorro. Does anyone like being bored?

~ I wonder who zorro really is. :confused: :unsure:

~ I almost killed myself yesterday. Well, not exactly, I'm just being over dramatic. See, I had a pair of open scissors in my right hand. I dropped something on the floor and reached over with my left hand to pick it up, and in doing so the scissors made a long nasty cut along my inner left elbow. Lovely.

I've applied for math here in France. A Bachelor's degree in the US might turn out to be a different major, though. Thank you for the links! :)

This Canadian cannot vote and is miffed about it. <_< <_< <_< I've said that already.

Hair mood: wild loose curls. It's more than twice as long as it was after my last haircut.

[zanna]

blah

xx

tinkle.

[Cuilanië]

Sometimes I feel like I live in 3RFacts.

It's not going to be as difficult as I thought. I had a horrible moment of believing it might take a year or two...

*hugs* SK for that cut. That must hurt...

[zanna]

i'm going to go see the cure on july 30th! :yay: :yay:

i'm still peeling from my sunburn.

just ate some mac & cheese.

[Curlita]

My sympathies to SarahKate and Eve they wend their way through red tape on the way to a goal.

The things that we want badly should not be made so difficult to get by arbitrary bureaucratic processes.

I was lazy and bought a salad for lunch at the salad bar. We have spinach and tomato and lives at home - but not blue cheese and sunflower seeds!

:huh: :o Lives??? :blink: I should hope so, unless you'd like us to believe your entire household is undead... But in a salad? :eek:

But thank you for the sympathy (even if you do eat lives...)! ^_^

OK, I'll stop being evil now. :ph34r: :evil:

[sarahkate]

~ Yeah, I really don't understand why the government makes it so hard for me to go to a damn community college!! :( Although, I suppose the credit card debt is my own fault. <_<

~ This story (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=8&u=/ap/20040628/ap_on_re_us/lincoln_park_apes) makes me smile. Good for those apes! B)

~ I want to go to an aquarium. The last time I was at one was probably about 10 years ago, in Boston.

[sarahkate]

~ :lol: Oh no! Curlita the Cannibal! :o

~ I prefer my salad completely dead.

~ Ok, now I have to stop being evil too.

[Skilyne]

Hugs to Bluecrayon, Gwensmom and Gwen, and anyone else who might be needing them! :hug: :hug: :hug:

I love the haircut Theresa...very cute!

I have been having a very strange day today. I can't say it has been a BAD day, but I am feeling generally conflicted and uncertain of many things.

[kamoke]

Im sweaty, but I love it!

the sun came out today and I loved that too!

I want mom to go out so I can clean the house.

[kamoke]

my palm and forearm are killing me

I am off work until thursday. And even then the store is closed and I am unloading a truck! which all translates to good fun

peanut butter and crackers! :D

[bluecrayon]

I'm not good at this email waiting thing -- how hard is it to email a response even when you're at work???

My day revolves around this conversation with him -- and I am tearing my hair out!

I think I need to go out and ride my bike into a brick wall.

:D :'( :angry: :wub: :ph34r:

[siafu]

aw. that might hurt.

i hope you feel better soon.

i hope you get a good surprise.

[Curlita]

OLIVES! Not lives, but OLIVES! Damn typos! ;)

I'm back from looking at a house that I liked a lot. Only issue: freeway noise.

I think I can live with freeway noise if my husband can. Cross your fingers for me.

[Zorro]

so today i sat under a tree

and doodled in my notebook

i have named this journal "super"

Tuna fish salad with apple chunks is good too.

I like Theresa's haircut. I wish I had the nerve to cut mine short. It's curly, and the last time I had it cut short it looked like I was attempting an afro.

Lorelei is teething and has whined and not napped for two days now. The constant whining makes my blood pressure shoot sky high. I know she's miserable, but I snapped at her today. I FINALLY got her to sleep a little while ago. I hope she's better by her birthday on the fourth.

[Skilyne]

Awww Bluecrayon...hang in there! Don't go riding your bike into any brick walls.

I'm wondering why he didn't call me...he said he would.

I'm getting together with him tommorow. Maybe. One never does know...

[Larrissa]

i have an appointment at an employment agency/devil hole tomorrow

i have this fat envelope of stuff and no idea who its from.

not knowing is like an itch and i cant scratch and i HAVE TO KNOW HWO SENT IT!

if my camera loved me it would let me take pictures, but NO, shes a bitch and is still pouting. i havent a clue why.

[Larrissa]

theres a picture of some grown man at a computer and a little note with handwriting i SHOULD recognize with a cute little rendition of this :ph34r: icon

and a letter from 1987 addressed to beth

i told myself i wasnt going to use this like a journal anymore but its a habit

I hope Lorelei stays asleep for a while.

If you ever go south, check out Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN. I liked it better than any I've ever been to. And you can get a big discount if you get the Ripley's package - Believe It or Not museum, thrill ride, and Haunted Mansion thingy.

I need to go get something to eat while she's asleep - my fruit loops wore off a long time ago.

I'm having fun in here today!

Make up your mind! :P

I'm really going to eat now...

[siafu]

astabeth, i told the haircutter that if he wasn't easy on my hair it would poof out sideways and i wouldn't like it.

he took little snips with his scissors.

i know what you mean, though.

[Larrissa]

**sorry

[Cuilanië]

Dinner was as follows: take slice of fresh-baked bread (bought at the bakery yesterday). Coat with honey. Add a slice of cold ham (yesyes, trust me). Eat with sharpish firm cheese and apple slices. Good good good. ^_^

I have this feeling apples will go with a lot of things... ^_^

I've breathed too many noxious fumes in the past hour... my throat is still recovering. And I'm not talking about intoxicants of any kind... <_< I'll spare you all the description.

[Cuilanië]

And hugs to bluecrayon. I've had to deal with a work situation that would not allow me to email at all... :(

When I get a haircut, it's usually so short 'poofing out' is not an option... ^_^

Right now though, I think I'll just let it do its thing... I've reached an odd kind of truce with it lately. :)

*typo

[Lilac]

I just got back from the pediatrician. My son has strep throat.

He also has a fungal infection on his hand.

Life is good. <_<

[Cuilanië]

I can't get those stinks out of my nose. Damn.

Tomorrow I will do laundry. And finally clean the kitchen floor.

I want to munch on something... But I resisted the temptation to buy munchy-stuff at the grocery store. So now I have the craving, and no munchies. I'm hopeless.

[Cuilanië]

Fungal infections are a pain to deal with. At least hands are easier to care for than feet...

::yawn::

I'm all tired all of a sudden. Might have to do with the fact that it's 1:30am.

[Curlita]

I like apples or pears cut up on salads with swiss cheese. It's even better if you have green olives, too (olives again, spelled right this time). The sweet and juicy flavor of the apples goes well with the salty, salty bitter flavor of the olives.

I was just canning pictures of my dad when he was in the French army. He looks very young and handsome in his uniform.

There is something going not quite right with him right now and I am terrified that he is developing Alzheimer's.

[Astabeth]

I got upstairs and turned the oven on to preheat and then she woke up. Half-frozen pizza rolls, anyone?

So I go to put Fantasia in the DVD player, and it's like the image has been split into its component colors and skewed at a 45 degree angle and is rolling / flickering. :angry: :( <_<

At least she's not whining. Yet.

[tanagee]

I am assuming Curlita is scanning pictures of her dad and not putting them up for the winter :P

I make a pasta salad with granny smith apples, mozzarella and black olives...very yummy. I got the idea from my hubby putting apples on his green salads w/ oil and vinegar.

I might meet up with the local LA 'nessers this weekend. Slight anxiety...hope the hubby does go out of town so I can go meet 'em with out any hassles and him thinking I am meeting up with "my boyfriend" (yes, he's still on that kick.)

they come to atlanta in like october or thereabouts, but tickets are already sold out! :'(

i'm so sad about it. my friend went and got herself one but within the first few days they were sold out and i'm left with her boasts and brags and how she's got a ticket and i don't. sniff.

i did my three essays and sent them off to my friend who is going to take a look at them.

i have to study something else tonight.

Good day for Helquin: got my family member discharged from hospital, sent surprise guerilla mail, and spent the early evening taking pictures in the park until sunset. :)

Siafu, your haircut looks great! Kick @ss with those essays!

Gwensmom & Lilac: sorry to hear about your kids' illnesses. :( Sending good (anti-viral/anti-fungal) thoughts your way...

Blue, hope you didn't run that bicycle into a brick wall! Thanks for you-know-what. ;)

[kamoke]

I just remembered that I came into the kitchen for a reason. Quarters for the laundry. instead I'm here

i ditched my friends off to clean tonight

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ps. painted the bathroom

[gwensmom]

I'm sorry about your son Lilac! :( I hope you don't have the same thing. Gwen was swabbed this morning but didn't have strep.

I helped my mom proof the parents' handbook for the kindergarten where she teaches. Now I know all the rules. You are not allowed to have keychains on your bookbag.

My sister sent me some really hard sample SAT math questions today and my brain is fried from doing them. But I liked it because I am a math nerd.

Who knows the formula for the volume of a cone without googling?

I'm a math nerd too! Or at least I used to be... I changed my major from mathematics to something else in the middle of Cal II.

Is it 1/3 of the height times pi times the radius squared?

I have to go eat now - a (almost) real meal! With biscuits!

[GraceGal]

1. My big boy cat, Guinness, found a new place to sit near me while I'm on the PC.

2. I tried a new Sesame Chicken recipe tonight from the Paula Deen show - YUM! From her Shower episode.

3. I MUST MUST MUST get a hair cut/style -- it's just plain long and pulled back.

[Lilac]

Well, I'm back on for a bit longer. Rabbit in pen, kid in bed.

Eating a peanut butter sandwich as a late night snack.

Carbs are my friends!

It is.

I learned that when I was little because my mother liked to point out the shapes of shampoo bottles: cheap shampoo in cylindrical bottles, overpriced name-brand shampoo in tapered bottles.

Before it died, we went to the local Berkeley chain of Co-op grocery stores. A true Berkeley institution. I still remember our Co-op number, though I wasn't old enough to do my own shopping before they went under.

When I read this I thought it said panties :naughty:

Megan is sleeping in her sleeping bag in her crib...at least she went to bed that way, I don't forsee that lasting long in this heat. :huh:

While Megan was taking a bath I pulled one of the kitchen chairs into the bathroom and sat with my feet in the tub reading the AAA magazine while she washed my feet. :wub:

When my mom was in labor with me she made my aunt wash her feet so she wouldn't have dirty feet, she also washed and set her hair before leaving for the hospital. :wacko:

4:56am.

I'm hungry.

I need to get up sorta early to finish the bathroom before mom gets home.


goodnight

I am signing off to get "ready"

I am wrapped inside these "things" :lol:

Canadians living abroad - except for certain categories of people like diplomatic personnel and armed forces - can only register to vote if they intend to resume residence in Canada.
um..actually, this sounds reasonable to me
Actually, it's not all that obvious. French citizens living abroad have the right to vote no matter what. There is a Council representing them, and the equivalent of an MP; they can vote for the President.

I'm not sure of the rules regarding USAmericans living abroad.

I need coffee. If I'm going to be discussing laws and regulations and procedures, I need coffee. It's too early. :rolleyes:

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

I also had to figure out the volume of a pyramid wth a square base and a pyramid with a hexagonal base given only r and h. It was a stretch to dredge up everything I needed to know about triangles from the dark recesses of my mind for that hexagon!

Gwen is sleeping and I should be too! My gut tells me to keep her home from school again today, which means she gets to go to the office with me for a while.

Gwensdad is a very loud sleeper. He does ok at first but if I wake up after 2 am (which i often do) I am lucky to get back to sleep! This morning I broke down and put in some earplugs about 3:30.

[zanna]

well anit i special.

i like striking matches.

and i love my two secret friends. :)

[Obsidian_Cat]

I can't believe it's only Tuesday.

I forgot to bring my lunch with me - d'oh.

I have to table at an outside event tonite, hope it doesn't rain!

:crossed:

[Sirius]

on a happy note...it is POTR birthday today!

on an unpleasant note...dehydration is so not fun...hoping to being able to compensate with all this water and not have to go do the iv thing again today...

i drink more water than anyone i know, why am i the one always dehydrating?!?!?!?!

[siafu]

i need some earplugs. there is someone who makes random comments about what she is doing on the internet while i am trying to study.

i should have bought groceries yesterday http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/traurig/sad-smiley-028.gif

last night i did all the easy constitutional law questions and part of the easy contracts questions in my practice questions book. today, i have to finish the easy contracts Qs and do something else.

[Cuilanië]

I think that to prevent dehydration, just drinking water is not enough...

I wouldn't know what to do about it though.

I did my laundry today.

WHAT IS THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE UNTIED STATES?
Now that's what I call an interesting typo. I found it in an official USCIS document. :lol:

July will begin in two days. I can hardly believe it.

~ I am a carb maniac! I had a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast. For lunch I had pasta salad and two pieces of italian bread with butter. For dinner I will probably have some sort of pasta again or grilled cheese. Mmmm.... carbs.

~ I had black cherry soda last night. I had forgotten how good it was.

~ Last night I wanted some brownies, but I didn't want to make them so I tried singing a song about brownies to inspire my boyfriend to make some for me. It didn't work, but I think he liked the song. :P

[gwensmom]

:yay: I actually got to take a nap! I put a pallet on the floor next to Gwen's bed and she didn't wake up until 10:30. I might have gotten as much as 2.5 hours of sleep!

The school nurse called and said that 2 other kids in her class are out sick. So that explains that.

My first Christmas gift of the year is officially finished. On to the second

[medeous]

the guy who's going to redo my bathroom said it will be 2 weeks before he can get started.

the A/C guy says i need a new motor and hose and he'll call me with an estimate this afternoon.

rustell needs some pedialyte.

[siafu]

i have an interview next week to join a practice.

i'm supposed to fax my resume.

i'm sweating.

[Sirius]

I cannot cross my fingers for week, but i will cross them next week for siafu.

Once, when I worked for Bank One, they sent a letter to the Untied Way, by way of my typo. I didn't notice it until about a week after I sent it out. No one there ever wanted to 'be a pal' and proof read outgoing letters for eachother.

Siafu and Larrissa both have Scrabble words to play. I wonder if they realize this....

[siafu]

i played.

i'm still nervous.

:breathing:

[medeous]

i want to make something, but i'm uninspired

nan is napping because i made her get up early and help me clean before the handyman guys got here

when she wakes up we'll go to the post office.

[Cuilanië]

I'm a carb-fiend too. My two meals every day typically consist of a fresh-banana-topped bowl of muesli with milk for breakfast, and pasta for dinner. Lately, I've been eating lots of fruit too.

:yay: for naps!

:crossed: for siafu, and concern about Rustell being dehydrated...

[Larrissa]

scrabble? i had so forgotten. i will have to send me a reminder email when i get around to it. i have so much to remember lately, and most of it is so meaningless. what are the fuck are priorities and where can i get some?

i had just woke up and james was making no sense but i figured it was me just being asleep so i said nothing about it. he can be such a stinker.

i haveta go to the temp agency place in thirty minutes for the application thing. i hope they dont drug test right then, the way its worked before for the ex-man was they made an appt to do it later ... and just what is wrong with smoking pot anyway???

[Cuilanië]

Someone in an apartment with an open window overlooking the courtyard is hawking and spitting in a totally disgusting fashion. This has been happening almost every day for the last month or so, it's gross, and I'm trying to eat, damn it!! <_< :angry:

There's an Anonymous User!!! I always wonder who the person is when that happens.

Still gathering information, so I know what questions to ask Friday morning. Hammerquill found me a site (www.nolo.com (http://www.nolo.com)) with very clear, plain English explanations, and that's a big relief. :wub:

*tippo

[Larrissa]

my hair is still wet, i may go blowdry it.

i am sending three LMAO's tomorrow, the day they are due.

i still have no monkey adventure.

Nolo is great for explaining law in understandable terms. They are so good that they got sued in Texas because attorneys didn't want people to manage their own legal affairs.

Photobucket isn't working and Walagata isn't free today. I need a free web hosting site fast- any suggestions?

The mail hasn't come yet :( It is usually here by noon.



edited to say: nevermind- photobucket is back. And the mail came with nothing exciting in it.

[medeous]

my mail was junk, mostly addressed to my ex-father-in-law (who has never lived with me and is currently dead).

i found 8 flip-flops hidden in a little pile of shredded paper and chewed up socks under my desk...i think they're my pup's babies.

i made oatmeal raisin cookies.

[Dalmaney]

I made half our internet computers work.

The other two are being completely killed, then brought back with Windows 98 instead of 95. We are cutting edge.

I am covered in potentially West Nile infected mosquito bites. Bring it on, I say.

[siafu]

ok, i faxed the firm of kiltwearer, spice, and awesomeburro my resume.

i hope they like it.

i found out some stuff about spice that's [potentially] not so flattering. how much should i worry?

[Sirius]

Last time I found out some potentially unflattering information about a potential employer, I blew it off, and then regretted the decision. I should have followed my gut.

Sometimes my honest answers are not the most encouraging, eh, siafu?

I've consumed 112 ounces of water and it isn't even 2pm. Oddly enough I am still very thirsty. And my leg hurts. And I want a nap. And I am now a whiner.








Done whining. Back to happy Sirius.

[Sirius]

Is Foster a Scottish name?

[siafu]

you can whine. you're very judicious in the use of your whining powers.

yeah, the thing is i don't know if it's a bad thing or not. he wasn't disciplined for it. it's just like a blank span of years in one's resume. the question is what.

ok, seriously back to contracts now.

[siafu]

foster sounds english.

[Sirius]

The world's most common surname is Chang or Zhang. There are approximately 100 million Zhangs. The name is roughly 4,700 years old. In all of Mainland China, there are only 438 last names. Chinese surnames were originally based on geography.

Here are the top five last names in the United States, according to the 1990 data from the U.S. Census Bureau: Smith, Johnson, Williams, Jones, and Brown. There are around 3 million Smiths in the U.S., and they've held the top spot for the last 13 years. Zhang ranks pretty low on the list of American surnames -- 2292nd.

That's pretty random.

the triangle sat on my heart last night...

I am poking my skin today to see if I am still human...

all kinds of moral ground that I have never walked on before...

(and I don't know what to do... :( )

sigh.

but here I am ready to chain it all away!

[zanna]

i went out for the first time today and used my gps tracker for the most fun!

i've had it since christmas, and have been meaning to read-up on geocashing because it sounded like something i'd be into.

well i went out today and i found my first cashe ..it was so exciting and made me so happy. yay for me! looks like i've got a new hobby!

I wouldn't know what to do about it though.

I think that Eve is right, and that it is an electrolyte issue (potassium, magnesium, and other stuff). There is stuff called Smart Water that has all the electrolytes added, but no dye or sugar (like Gatorade). Maybe that would help?

I'm trying to drink a lot of water today too. My feet are scarily swollen, probably from eating both feta and blue cheese yesterday. <_<

Tonight Jonny and I are going to see a house for a second time. If we both like it, then we might put in a bid! I'm trying not to get too excited.

[Larrissa]

i went to the appt.

and now i wait.

i must remember to tell these people i got their mail ...

[Obsidian_Cat]

I did the dishes!

I'm now going to practice my couch potato position.

This will happen as soon as I turn the computer off... Is there such a thing as a computer potato?

[siafu]

Is there such a thing as a computer potato?


:lol: that was a super cute question.

hey blue, you're it!

and for rustell, homemade electrolyte replacer:

4 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup boiling water
1/4 cup orange juice (not concentrate) or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
3-3/4 cups cold water
1. In the bottom of a pitcher, dissolve the sugar and salt in the hot water.
2. Add the juice and the remaining water; chill.
Yield: 1 quart

I mean -- they're worlds!!!

[Lilac]

I am beat!

I've been out working in the yard so fast and furiously that my muscles are actually shaking.

I don't know why I was rushing... :blink: :wacko:

[Larrissa]

:lol: yep.

i must make offensive art.

namelessgirl is making me learn teleportation. shes hungry while at work.

I always find this thread very educational...

I can't believe I haven't shut this damn machine off yet!

I also can't believe my 12 pound cat is now attempting to climb the window screen... bad kitty!

"more useful everyday"?

"celebrity fashion victims galore"?

"find out what happened to your old friends"?

whew. sometimes ... sometimes.

[Helquin]

I'm so confused I had to check which thread I'm in :lol:

I think I really did break those 3 toes last night... my foot is all swollen & shoes have been a misery today :angry:

I have to clean my house for company this Saturday and I'd almost rather eat my own tongue <_<

I'm really feeling happier than this post makes me sound :lol:

[Lilac]

My son is making me listen to William Hung's "She Bangs" :lol:

I'm going to let him listen to the Ricky Martin version in a minute...

He's never heard the orginal She Bangs...

Jeez, medeous, wasn't it you just a few months ago thinking an airplane was about to land on your house (but it turned out to be the White Album)? Or was that someone else? :lol:

I spent most of the afternoon repairing and adjusting the big one-ton warehouse doors at our studio.

In the sun.

On a ladder.

I'm tired.

OOh! When you get good at it, can you appear here and teach me?

It's Miller Time™ (see previous post). Since I don't like Miller, it's actually Mendocino Brewing Eye of the Hawk Ale time.

I'm eating fougasse like there's no tomorrow.

I should save room for some fruit salad.

[medeous]

i don't own the white album

i wish i had popsicles

my grandma's just come out surgery, they had a no-resuscitate order. they've removed her artificial hip and some bone and she's likely to be in a chair for the remainder of her life now, which brings up the question of where she will live, since her home is not accessible.

[bluecrayon]

I have popsicles that are probably 6 years old in my freezer.

I've never had fougasse.

I have had an emotional day and I have my spinning head on now so watch me loop!

[Gingersmack]

Throw those popsicles out.

I too, do not own the white album.

A nice glass of red wine soothes the soul.

[kamoke]

the bathroom is blue, but I've yet to put everything back on the walls

I figure that Im probably a bad person on the inside

I wouldn't mind a slushie right now

[hammerquill]

Aha. It was Theresa siafu who got attacked by the Beatles. I just searched it.

I knew it was one of the Nervous Women Who Are Good At Making Me Laugh.

I want to go bind books or something but I lack the ambition and energy, especially since doing any such thing would involve quite a bit of cleaning up first.

[Gingersmack]

Listening to Macy Gray.

Just spoke to my MIL.

The Lion King (musical) is coming to Seattle for 5 weeks...

[bluecrayon]

I am spiraling into the triangle at 1am again tonight

I will wear my Spock ears...

I will pretend I'm medeous and use wit to navigate around the landmines...

[namelessgirl]

Larrissa SUCKS at teleportation

i had to eat taco bell instead, and now i'm sick :(

it's all her fault!

[Lilac]

Oh Blue, I'm spiraling right here with you!

When will this insomnia ever end?

At least we have each other! :)

[siafu]

some men were mean to me at starbucks.

i was cheesed because i couldn't decide whether to confront them or ignore them.

if they don't like the way i look, they don't have to look. i hate it when someone doesn't actually care, but they feel the need to give me shit.

[bluecrayon]

siafu, anyone who would hassle you is just an idiot. end of sentence.

I have to watch myself in these situations because I am not afraid to say what I'm thinking...

Lilac, I'm glad you will be here with me spiralling through the loose ends and ambiguities...

[siafu]

thanks for the props, blue. hi tana...i'm getting that lefty sock man if it's the last thing i do ;)

[tanagee]

Thanks to lilac and HQ getting "badgers badgers" stuck in my head. So I tried to get it out by singing "Banana Phone" and now they are both in there. :wacko:

It probably did not help that I sang it in front of Megan and so she was singing "badgers badgers" during her bedtime routine.

Bid Theresa! Bid! :)

[Cuilanië]

What, no post here in the last seven hours??? :blink:

I slept with the light on and woke up grumpy.

Then I got to talk to him, and after that went back to sleep... :)

I haven't had my coffee yet. But I'm on a chain game rampage. ^_^

[sarahkate]

Goodmorning all! :)

~ I must call my school's financial aid office to get this whole mess straightened out.

~ I hate making phone calls.

~ I painted my nails a bright pink color for a graduation I went to on Saturday. Now it's chipping off and my nails look horrid. I miss Tinker Bell polish that I used when I was a kid, it would peel right off in one rubbery little piece.

[Cuilanië]

'Morning SK!

- I still haven't had coffee.

- I'm going to make coffee now.

- I really like this mix CD of mine. :)

[Skilyne]

I've taken off work today, because I am feeling mentally and physically crummy.

I hate feeling this way, but I have been lately. :(

I am going to go lay outside and do some artwork once it warms up a bit more.

[medeous]

the sanrio store sells peel off nail polish

it's not a good idea to sleep with the giant aircraft sized fan blowing right in your face

i want to alter books, but i'm afraid to start

[Larrissa]

hmmm, i dont have the time to reprimand taco bell for sara's discomfort.

wht happened to the pesto in the freezer??

i am still quite confounded, if not more so than before.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i've taken a few photos in the garden again... am about to go take a couple more, then make some lunch

2 i think lunch will be stir fry... :):):)

3 i invited my sister to go to see "supersize me" sometime with me, so we might do that next week

[namelessgirl]

my kitchen was too dirty to think about making pasta

and nothing else in navarre looked good to eat

if you had moved pensacola closer already, there would have been more options!

[Larrissa]

:lol: i am all sorts of silly this morning

i dont know what im going to do in any minute but this one

and this one will be spent here

[siafu]

nameless girl, I went to P. C. C. way back when.

that is not something I would repeat in my life, given the chance.

But I ain't given the chance not to repeat, so it might be an irrelevant position.

[kamoke]

I finished painting the bathroom, and it looks pretty good in my eyes

Today is beautiful! too bad I slept until 1:30 though ;) :D

I wasn't supposed to work but now I am volunteering and I got called into work, but I'm in a good mood so I don't really mind.

smell ya later! :P

[Dalmaney]

I am having a pretty good day thus far.

I am drinking my breakfast coffee with lunch instead.

I love my MP3 player.<
