Three random facts:

[Bugitha]

Well, since were talking about the foolishness of our childhoods. . .

1. When I was about 8, my brother and I agreed to play dodge ball with rocks in the parking lot of the restaurant/bar where we met my father everyday after work. Of course I got beaned right in the forhead and went running into the bar with blood running down my face and screaming for my mother. I still have a scar.

2. When I was nine, I climbed a tree in high heels, fell out of it, and dislocated my elbow which unfortunately required an operation and a hospital stay.

3. When I was eleven, I accidentally shot myself in the foot with a pellet gun. The pellet lodged between two bones . . .another operation, another 3 day hospital stay.

. . . but I wouldn't say I was accident prone. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Willow_starr]

Ouch Bugitha!

1. I have yet to seriously injure myself.

2. I twice caused my little sister to lose a nail. Once was running a sliding closet door over toe, the second time I open a bathroom stall door on her finger. Both times we were playing hide and seek.

3. Today my fiance and I went to put a deposit on our reception hall and catering. Eeek!

[littlebird]

I am glad that so many people share my love of mst3k!

1. my mother bought me this (http://store6.yimg.com/I/engrish-store_1720_330069) for christmas. It makes me very happy! (ironically)

2. Currently, I am getting drunk phone calls every minute from my friend about tomorrow night's festivities. I'm pretty excited because there are four parties I'm expected to go to. I feel kind of hip. Anything will be better than last year. i just hope I get kissed.....

3. i was in a theatre troupe in highschool and we were improv-ing in front of a bunch of middle schoolers. i got really into the scene, which required falling down a lot (i'm usually very good at prat falls) but the floor we were on was very slippery and I fell too hard and gave myself a concussion in front of nearly 200 middle schoolers. how is that for embarassing.

[Fiona Blackwolf]

1. I woke up late this morning but made it to work on time

2. However, I realized when I got here that I left my purse at home *sigh* (home is 45 min away so I cant go get it or have it dropped off)

3. I am grateful for the fact that I actually broght my lunch (since my money would be in the purse) and that I get off work at 3 today.

Great end to the year,eh?

[Maya11]

1. I was in a Wondra Hand Lotion commercial.
2. My Buddhist teacher is also, one of Richard Gere's teachers.
3. I walked on 12 feet of hot coals during a "firewalk".

[Dalmaney]

1. I think I'm a bit of a Peter Pan. I'm never going to grow up. I spent last night playing Sardines, drinking Slurpees, and playing this game where everyone lies in a circle and crosses hands and then the hand tapping gets passed around the circle. I see no advantage to ever growing up (hmm... maybe the pension plan. but that's it).

2. I have a whole list of things to do and no desire to do them, so I'm mucking around the internet, drinking coffee, and contemplating getting up enough energy to go shower and dress and face the day. It should be a very fun, very long day http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

3. I'm making a homemade Chai tea mix, so I need to go buy some loose black tea at the shop on Broadway. That's half a city away, and I have no car, and it's cold, so I need to plot the bus schedules out and figure out the best way to get there. If it turns out well, I might make it an exchange because I'm not sure how much I actually want it. I just really want to make it.

Hooray for Engrish.com that site has given me many laughs. I love the badly translated signs.

1. My New Year's plans are going out for dinner with the in-laws.

2. I talked to my friend who is cat sitting. Poor Mystee is depressed. I would have brought her with me but my mom-in-law is allergic. Poor thing! Luckily my friends have been going over to watch Daria episodes on my computer and pet her. I feel so guilty!

3. I want to watch Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail.

My parents gave me that on dvd for Christmas (along with the Matrix)!  I haven't watched it for years, and I am looking forward to it!

1. I am house/dog/cat-sitting for friends for another 4 nights. They also have chickens and geese - it's hard work and I am pretty tired. I cannot wait to get back to my own bed, and some lay-ins in the mornings!

2. I was just thinking that I'd have to get a new calendar, when I remembered that I have a 'nervous made' calendar for 2003 from a collection LMAO - I've hung it up and it looks great!

3. Nervousness leads me and my efforts to avoid procrastination astray!

[Dalmaney]

1. Furthering my Peter Pan tendencies, my friends and I went tobogganing at 2 AM last night. Well, tubing techinically speaking. It was great; no wind, no one else on the hill, and lots of people to pile on top of and hurl down a slope. Great fun.

2. I'm not sure if the brownies I'm eating are breakfast or lunch, as it's 2 PM now.

3. At the moment, I have a Chinese symbol for peace on my left forearm, and fortune on my right.

[BreezyK]

1. I am breaking off a friendship of 15 years (best friend for many of those years. Well, not actively breaking it off... I am just not going to make any further effort to mantain it because it's too much work for nothing in return, and it's really begun to mess with me emotionally. If she decides to start being a friend, I'll welcome her with open arms... I just don't expect that to happen. It was a very tough decision, but sometimes you just have to move on. I hope that someday she'll grow up and realize how much she's losing because of her self-centeredness. </enough>

2. My cat, Mazzy, snores like a human being.

3. I can see the Golden Gate Bridge from this window.

[Dalmaney]

Ack! BreezyK, I just decided more or less the same thing last night. My former best friend of over a decade hasn't answered my emails since March (she's in Egypt now, so the whole friendship's been on long distance for a couple years already), so last night I said goodbye. Even though it's the best thing for me to do, it's hard. Maybe I'm not so much deciding as accepting her decision... ok, to be honest, I'm still a bit messed up over the whole issue. But new year's are for new starts.

1. I am currently rereading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Yes, I have seen the movie. Good, but doesn't compare.

2. I must pay my Big Sister's dues and hand in my year end review thingy, as right now I'm not insured and that's bad.

3. My driver's license is currently expired, but only since today. I should fix that tomorrow.

[Bugitha]

Highlights and lowlights from my New Years Eve:

Highlights:

1. Fireworks
2. Champagne
3. Kisses

Lowlights:

1. Being crushed by mobs of people
2. Having my good coat sprayed with Champagne and not really having money for drycleaning at the moment
3. Waiting over an hour for some people I was supposed to drive home to come back to our meeting place (apparently they had forgotten where we were supposed to meet up and wound up taking the bus home).

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!

[mejaka]

I have a friend who rarely attempts to contact me. Almost ever writes...almost never emails, always very short...never calls. However, I continue to write, call, and email, because I know I mean a lot to her...she just isnt' as good at sociability as I am. :^ )

1. I wrote a little note to go with a gift for my mother-in-law that made her cry.

2. I took my brother and sister, their spouses and kids to see my father-in-law's kids (goat variety). How did my siblings become such city slickers? I felt like we lived on different planets.

3. I want to paint a table-and-chairs set for Miss Anna's birthday, but can't find a good, solidly built set to paint at a price I can afford.

Bugitha--I read your note about Hello Dollies while showing my Mom what Nness was during a visit to her house. LOL...We really ought to meet sometime.

[littlebird]

Kerri, if it makes you feel any better, I had to write my best friend off for the selfish, boyfriend-centric, immature way she was acting back in about october. We spent November not talking and when it really set in for her that we were not friend's anymore, she came back to me, and has made amends several times over. She goes above and beyond the effort. And I um, accidentally, ran into her new year's resolutions, and one of them is to be a better friend. I thought that was pretty cool. Sometimes you do just lose friends entirely and that's always sad, but if she was a friend worth keeping, she'll find her way back to you. Wow, that was sappy.

1. I have nothing to do at work. Plum nothing. I work at the KU computer lab. I babysit computers and keep people from looking at porn. But there's no one in here. And I had to get up at 7 am. I'm pissed.

2. I'm thinking about taking a year off school. So many girls here are hoping to get married straight out of school and start pumping out kids. They don't care about seeing the world or having a career. I need to get away from this mentality for a while.

3. More random: ok, a couple of years ago, I had a long dangly pair of silvery disco earrings. I wore them all the time and when one finally and irreparably broke in half, I cried for two days. I did the same thing when my beautiful polynesian shell necklace busted apart. It still makes me sad to think about.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i sound like a frog; again. at least i dont' sound like a dying mouse like i did yesterday.

2. i am going to see "Mama Mia" tonight.

3. It's my dad's birthday today.

4. It was my mom's birthday on New Years Day.

5. I DID get a kiss at midnight when it became 2003. First time that's ever happened.

6. My New Year's Eve was LOADS of fun. hung out with a few friends in my basement, beginning late afternoon, and we ended up crashing down there, finally falling asleep in front of the TV at somewhere between 4 and 4:30 in the morning. They didn't go home until lunchtime-ish New Years Day.

ooh, I'm jealous. I just got the London Cast recording as a belated Christmas gift.

1. I'm eating strawberry-peach yogurt for breakfast. New flavor. I haven't decided if I like it.

2. I've fallen behind in reading for my Nervousness bookcrossing reading ring. I really must try to finish reading *The Eight* this weekend.

3. My apartment is still in disorder even though I took down my Christmas tree a week ago (which is when everything got mixed up and moved around).

[JetFuel]

Three things about me, hmm? Lessee....

1- I'm old enough, and mature enough to have children....but the thought of a child of my own scares the living daylights out of me. It's not the pregnancy or the birth process that scares me, it's the fact that another little me could be running around! That and I havent found a man with whom I can agree on childrearing philosophies.  I can barely keep my own head screwed on, never mind looking after a little one.

2- I don't drink coffee. Gives me upset tummy.

3- I collect hundreds upon hundreds of writing tools. Pens, pencils, markers, fountain pens, crayons..etc. I entertain this fantasy that ONE of those pens will contain the inspiration and just the right chemical mix in the ink that the words of some life-changing expose will flow from it. Like Shakespeare's works, or maybe some dark goth series like Anne Rice's works or maybe even the inspiring words of Maya Angelou.... Of course everyone knows these things arent hidden in the ink mix of a pen, theyre in your soul...but one day those words will flow from me.

and a bonus 3 things!

4 - I learned yesterday that the word DREAMT is the only word in the english language that ends in MT

5- My beloved kitty Peso has been gone for a year, today. (I hope you have a soft bed in heaven, little girl... I miss you so)

6- I have never tasted lobster, shrimp, crab, prawns or any other fish. (the smell turns my stomach)

Yeah, littlebird. Sappy yes, but those are my thoughts exactly. Glad to hear your friend came back to you, and I have a feeling that mine will too eventually. Unlike Mejaka's friend, I don't think that our friendship does mean anything to her right now. This is the chic who I drove six hours to see in her first starring role in a play in LA and left me with her roommate so she could go to a party. Her priorities are *1. Making sure every male in the vicinity is interested in and fascinated with her and *2. Surrounding herself with people who make her look cooler. (I'm not one of those people. We're 26 for God's sake...shouldn't she be over this?). When I called her up over Christmas (the only time we're ever in the same town) to get together, she basically told me, "okay, but let me check with everyone else I know in town first, and if all those plans fall through, we can get together." Forget that! No grudges, but there are better people for me to spend my energy on right now. I think someday she'll grow up, but it's gonna be a while.

1. I believe that if Shakespeare were alive today, he would have been writing episodes for Three's Company.

2. My company just reinstated the $3/day reimbursement payments for carpooling. Hooray! Not only that, two of my co-workers just moved next door, so now we carpool as 3, which means... free bridge toll! Double hooray.

3. It's nearly impossible to beat my boy at Scrabble (I've only done it once)... and I'm a pretty bright gal.

[Willow_starr]

1. I'M HOME!!!

2. My cat ripped some of my wallpaper off the wall while I was gone.

3. My house is a pigsty.

[queenfisher]

on friends - i like it when i get a new one who's already married or has a partner, because the single ones who then becomes attached mostly just dissappear. oh well.

JetFuel - wow. i can't imagine not eating seafood. but i can understand not wanting to eat something because of the smell. you haven't tried eating them raw, have you? kidding ;-)

1 - i just had chili prawns with wholemeal bread.
2 - realised now my last headache was on the 15th of december - wow, a long time ago. not that i miss it of course but just amazed. hope i haven't jinxed it by mentioning this fact.
3 - i got something amazing in the mail today - don't know whether to laugh or cry. huh. need. to. email.

;-)

This topic has been fascinating to read.  I've only read a fraction of the posts, but I feel as if I almost know some of the frequent posters.

Three somewhat involved facts about me:

1 - Even though I am Bipolar and can't manage to get up enough guts to go apply for a job, at my last job, when I worked as a sort of receptionist for one of the buildings on my college campus, I evacuated the whole building after a major earthquake and managed to keep over two hundred people from panicking until security officers showed up.  Of course, the earthquake was in Washington state where no one is used to them and I grew up in California...

2 - I can only sleep in a non-dark and noisy room.  The best sleep I've ever had was when I lived in Boston for 3 months, right next to a major hospital.  Becuase it was August and the ancient building had no ventilation, we had to have the windows open.  I now live in a very quiet, nearly rural neighborhood and I feel terribly nostalgic for sirens  ;}

3 - Despite an escalating allergy to wheat, those who know me revere me as the best cookie maker in the universe.  I can't actually cook, only bake, so I find this all madly frustrating.

And three less involved things:

1 - When I am manic I compulsively bid and buy things off of eBay.  I've found myself with some odd stuff, such as two Indian saris, 4 vintage metal lunchboxes, and several pins and scarves.

2 - When I had my wisdom teeth out at age 19, the moment they put me under general anesthesia I started to sing.  I sang throughout the whole operation, beginning with the Star-spangled Banner.  

3 - I used to build theatrical props and work as stage crew in college.  Even though I've never acted in a play, I had to wear costumes for most of them because I had to go onstage.

And finally three quick facts:

1 - I'm a total Anglophile.

2 - I once worked for Greenpeace, but only for a week.

3 - I suffer from chronic insomnia, and have cluster headaches.

That was fun!  Everyone has so many interesting things to say, I am looking forward to reading the rest of the posts.

[Dalmaney]

1. I need to get back on a diurnal (is that the word?) schedule by monday, as I've been running the much more fun nocturnal one since getting back to the city.

2. My mom has three house cats, the oldest and wisest of which is Eddie. She's a girl, but we named her "Screaming Eddie"(from an episode of Inspector Gadget with the crazy birds) because she was the runt and was always howling at the top of her lungs. She's now the oldest cat on the farm and loves to fight. If she hears tom cats fighting, she runs over to fight too. I love that cat.

3. When I was a kid, I was so flexible I could wrap my leg around the back of my neck. I used to give myself bleeding noses in gymnastics because I'd hit my face on my thighs or the floor. I'm still more flexible than average, but not to that extent.

[littlebird]

I am so very bored here at work and I have had too much coffee, so ya'll are getting a double post.

1. If I was a boy, my parents would have named me Milo, which I think is cruel and unusual. It's after a character in some movie, I can't think of which. While I was in utero, before they knew if I was a boy or girl, they called me cletus the fetus. Classy people, my parents.

2. My amazon.com wishlist is 100+. I LOVE buying books. It's an obsession.

3. My secret ambition is to learn to play the Ukele (sp?). I love the way it sounds and i'm a very small girl, I think I would look cute playing it. And I think that I secretly want Squirrel Nut Zippers to ask me to play with them so that I can hang out with Kathryn Whalen. I bet none of you know who I'm talking about.

4. I met John Waters at a book signing/ speech thing my school did a few months ago. I asked him to write something dirty in my book and he wrote "eat one." It was so cool. I love him.

5. The thought of pregnancy is truly repulsive to me. I liken it to parasitism. I have lost a friend for this belief.

6. My new year's resolution is to have moved away from kansas by this time next year.

1. I have never been put under and the idea scares the crap out me.

2. My eyes are burning because of cooking onions.

3. My new favorite song is "two Ladies" from Cabaret. So silly, I downloaded it today.

Thanks! Well, I've heard that people do all sorts of strange things under anesthesia.  All I remember about the incident is waking up singing "Sex Machine" by James Brown and nurses giggling.

1 - My cats are named Pookie and Pumpkin.  Not because I like the names but because those are the only names I could get them to answer to.

2 - I met my best friend seven years ago taking English 101 in junior college.  She's now an English teacher and I am a frustrated writer.

3 - When we moved into our new house, I splattered red and yellow paint all over my bedroom walls.  I sprained both wrists and had to wear braces on them while we moved. (I repainted a nice purple-pink 3 months later.)

[queenfisher]

solarpluvia - welcome to the forums. interesting stuff ;-)

now for my mundane ones...

1 - yup, woke up with a headache this morning and wasted almost the whole day. grrr.
2 - i cut my sister's hair earlier in the afternoon to shoulder length - didn't manage to convince her to let me cut it shorter.
3 - i could possibly meet a nervous person for the first time this coming weekend. maybe.

1. I have just found out that the friends I am housesitting for are staying an extra night in Paris, France. . . .and I am trying not to feel jealous - and trying not to hate the idea of ANOTHER early morning feeding all their animals!

2. I should really be cleaning my attic rooms (my 'pad' at the top of the house) but I'm getting sidetracked here. . .

3. I just ate a whole load of chocolate and I'm feeling kind of sick.

[Bugitha]

JetFuel--we have much in common--the childrearing thing, the writing instruments, the seafood. And "dreamt"--good to know. I was actually never sure if that was a real word because the ending was so odd. Of course, I was always to lazy to look it up. Thanks for clearing that up for me. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Ah, the trouble with friends . . .

1. So the friend that dumped me because we disagreed over a book (of all the silly things) and then came crawling back months later dropped by unannounced, pronounced me her "best friend" and in the course of conversation proceeded to list all the things I'd done to make her mad in the last year or so. Some were understandable, some were downright ridiculous. She also dredged up all kinds of stuff I thought we were over, but apparently she has not let go of. Then she said she didn't call me for four months because if I had done poorly in school, I would have blamed her. (Say What? ? ? ? ?)
So I really think I'm done with her. The problem is she is having a lot of personal problems right now and I think she needs someone. She's alienated every one else, too. So I don't know what to do. I hate to kick someone when they are down. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

2. I'm going to Barnes and Noble today . . . just to look. I swear!

3. I have read every post on this thread.

[mejaka]

Sistasmell found me a table! Table and two chairs from IKEA, 29 bucks! There's no IKEA here so I had to order them and pay 39 bucks in S&H but hey--that's still like $50 cheaper than the least expensive unfinished wooden table I had come across (and that one was ugly--the IKEA one is so cute!)

Okay...whew...three random facts.

1. While in a Bass outlet store with my sister-in-law, I was approached by a stranger who said, "What do you think--this pair or this one?" (I guess she had seen me giving Lisa my opinions on shoes). Stranger and I got talking a bit and then Lisa walked up...then stranger's friend, stranger #2, who had been on a radio selling a horse since the two came into the store. Well, Lisa has a horse ranch, so I joked about that as part of the conversation, and stranger #2 said, "Oh, I just sold my horse, she was too wild for my kids so now I need another one..." Lisa promptly said, "I may have one for you!" and before it was over here's what we learned about Strangers #1 and #2. First, #2: wants a horse and took Lisa's number; wants goats (our father-in-law is swimming in them) and took Dad H's number; just moved to the little town where Lisa and Dad H both live; belongs to our church; knows two families Lisa grew up with. Okay--stranger #1: grew up in the same town I did, 130 miles away from the store we were in; is related to a woman who was a church leader when my sister and I were young women, and as we grew up became a good friend of my sister; went to school with my cousin Ryan and had just returned from a class reunion where she had learned where he is living now--not Boise as I last heard, but Arizona.

2. When my mother told me I'd be sorry I didn't stay with piano...she was right. I was quite sorry today, in fact.

3. I found an old claddaugh ring in my things today, and wore it to church.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. it's too early

2. class at 9

3. must figure out where i'm going to live next year and with whom... ergh...

[thunderstorm_19]

1. buckley's is DIS-GUST-ING!!!!! it tastes like menthol and horse pee

2. i think i'm still hungry

3. finally getting my voice back slowly

[Dalmaney]

1. My iron count is currently 1 point too low to donate blood. I'm sorta dissappointed by that (and we don't get paid in Canada!), as a friend and I made a point to go together... but she was low too. Bring on the red meat, baybee!(Well, maybe I'll just start taking my vitamins.)

2. My math prof this semester reminds me of the Count from Sesame Street... One! One derivative! Two! Two linear approximations! That's going to keep me interested through another math class. I think he's Russian, but he could be from Czech or Polland or Ukraine, too. Who knows for sure...I go to such a good school. Sometimes I even get profs I can understand. (Actually, so far this semester, I'm 2 for 2.)

3. When my bottom two front teeth came in, they came in behind my baby teeth, and I had to have my baby teeth pulled. They are perfectly aligned now; I had a dental hygenist ask if I had had braces.

[Bugitha]

1. I have spent most of the day being bored and a little bit sad and inexplicably angry today.

2. Today an old friend was describing how when we first met, she thought I was the shyest person she'd ever encountered. Sheesh. I knew I was bad, but not that bad!

3. I think I'm much less shy now, but I'll have to ask around since clearly I have no reliable way to gauge this!

[mejaka]

1. Today I went to an open house/goodbye gathering for Suzy Toronto, who is moving to Florida, and ended up coming home with some of Suzy's personal things that are not making the trip. It was a major reminder of how unconventional I used to be (for my subculture) and also how conventional-by-default I have become since college. All of the coolest stuff (passed over by the conservative women in attendance) was exactly the type of thing I used to wear all the time. I came home with a snake ring (I lost mine years ago), 2" lizard earrings, big coppery hoops, flat disk dangles, all kinds of cool stuff--and nobody else wanted any of it. (Several people did take some similar pieces because they reminded them so of Suzy--she being the only one among the church circle who would wear anything like them--heh--except me...again...)

2. When Miss Anna opened her little red velvet (after-Christmas-on-sale) outfit for her birthday this evening, she said, "Oh, CLOTHES! My most favorite kind I've ever SEEN!" I tell you if I hadn't carried that child I'd never believe she was mine.

3. I walked this morning for the first time in a month. I can feel the effects in the muscles located in the arches of my feet.

[miss_jen]

Random factoids for tuesday morning:

1. I recieved THREE christmas cards this morning - two posted in New Zealand on the 9th of december and the other one posted in London just yesterday! But all 3 are from New Zealanders!!!

2. The outside temperature and the weather forcast say snow - but it is sunny. . .and damn cold.

3. I have taken 2 hours off of work. . .and I chose to spend it updating here! What is it with the nervousness vortex that it sucks me in and spits me out hours later!!!

Back to work I guess. . . .
Jx

[Willow_starr]

1. My toes are cold. They are usually cold from December to March. I'm not a big fan of winter after the novelity of snow wears off.

2.I think I had food poisoning Sunday night. I think it was caused by dried Turkish figs. Whatever it was I was puking Sunday night and sleeping all yesterday. Bleck!

3. I currently procrastinating, I should be doing several very important things right now- maybe I'll start when my toes warm up.

1. I just had to turn down a Skate Canada ticket because I have classes this afternoon. Sometimes I hate being responsible, predictable, and boring.

2. I should be even more boring and responsible and go to school early to work on calculus. Ugh.

3. The only redeeming fact about this boring, responsible day is that tonight I'm going to see LOTR: Two Towers with one of my friends that hasn't seen it yet.

[miss_jen]

1. I have not been to see LOTR: two towers yet - I'm waiting for my movie buddy (16 year old that I used to babysit back in the day) to return from his skiing holiday.

2. I have 2 sisters. I recently found out that my mum kept all of our lists for father Christmas from when we were little children - I read through them and was astounded to see that she got us everything we wanted.

3. I have a really good memory of my childhood - I can remember things from before I was 17 months old onwards. I have a friend who cannot remember anything from before she was 8 years old. We freak each other out.

1. I just bought a calendar half-price today. It occurs to me that I've spent $35 on 2003 calendars for my house this year. Thats just crazy.

2. I've never had cable television.

3. I made a Valentine for one of the Val. day lmaos I signed up for. Its terribly gaudy--lots of hot pink and yellow flowers--but that's kind of what I had in mind when I started it I guess. :-)

[beja]

1) I found nervousness a couple months after I dropped out of high school. It kept/keeps me from going any crazier.

2) After waking up at 4:30 pm, I had pancakes for dinner.

3) I always wear my jacket with the hood up when I am online. I just can't stay warm otherwise.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. I saw LOTR Two Towers last night. It's awesome, and Gollum kicks ass. Gimley's soo funny.

2. I just got out of bed... yep, out of bed and straight to the computer.

3. It just won't stop snowing. It's not snowing alot at a time, just constant flurrying... even though i doubt flurrying is a real word!

[solarpluvia]

1 - After not being able to sleep from Monday through Wednesday, I spent yesterday sleeping, and I think I am now uncharacteristically diurnal today. I hope it lasts.

2 - I broke my insomnia by watching CNN for hours on end, a habit I got into after the last presidential election. (Damn Florida! I hate the government there, but they have Kennedy Space Center.)

3 - I am desperately afraid that the US is about to be really REALLY stupid and go to war (possibly on two fronts!) for the worst reasons. Spent my last year of college learning about media and government, putting this together with my previous study of history makes me way too conscious about these things. This is not going to end well for anyone.

I agree. And it makes me sad and angry.

1. I couldn't sleep the other night so I got up and made my first homemade envelopes from old maps and magazine covers. I was so pleased with myself that I told a friend (who really doesn't get this whole nervousness thing). She thought I was making my own envelopes because I was to broke to buy some from the store and offered to lend me some money. LOL! This totally cracks me up. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

2. I still have (and use) the tiny tot stapler I've had since I was eleven. I just bought a full-size stapler this year.

3.Today I'm trying to get together a bunch of nervousness related mail to send out on Monday. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[thunderstorm_19]

1. got a box of lindor chocolates today, which was usually $8.49 or $8.99 or something like that, and was on sale for $2.25 all because it was a box of christmas bell shaped ones.

2. mailed out my contribution to a LMAO I should have sent for AGES ago today... the "i want penpals and swappers" lmao i signed up for... so i finally sent out my letter.

3. i am listening to vivaldi's Four Seasons. I love it.

4. I want tea, so I shall have to pause the CD in a few to go make some.

5. I will NOT stay up as late tonight as I did last night... it was about quarter to 6 in the morning before I went to bed.

6. i am craving a Guinness.

7. I picked up a used copy of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness yesterday, and just affixed a BC label and happened to read this quote on the first page... :

"Art itself may be defined as a single-minded attempt to render the highest kind of justice to the visible universe, by bringing to light the truth..." - Joseph Conrad

I love that.

[queenfisher]

1 - missed a big chance to meet up with a fellow nervous person this morning because i didn't hear my phone ring - i could've made it to the airport within 10 minutes. i at least was left with a voice message though. so sorry den tan.

2 - i've booked tickets to see an indonesian movie with a few of my younger cousins, yay!

3 - i dreamt i was at a nervousness gathering where people were distributing their atcs.

what nervous things have you dreamt about lately?

:-P

/shafina

[BklvrInVA]

1. I have 3 guinea pigs, 3 rabbits, 1 rat & 1 gerbil.

2. I collect Wizard of Oz stuff.

3. I love to read romance novels.

[j0llyr0ger]

After reading thunderstorm19's mention of "The Heart of Darkness", I am inspired to join this thread.

1.) Joseph Conrad is one of my favorite authors

2.) Conrad became my favorite author in college when I spent pleasant afternoons hanging out with my buddy Neil, listening to Jefferson Airplane and reading his copy of "Lord Jim" instead of doing my schoolwork.

3.) Neil lives in Arizona and we are still good friends about 12 years later.

[oneminute]

1. i've been wanting to read 'heart of darkness' for the longest time, but everytime i get to a bookstore i always end up seeing 500 other books i wnt first and never get my hands on it.

2. i just finished reading 'ignorance' by milan kundera. so good. so wonderful. read it.

3. 'white teeh' by zadie smith is not over-rated despite what people say and what i thought when i heard about it. it's so good.

Hey thunderstorm_19, I don't know what your release plans for the book are, but I'd love to read it if you want to send it here when your done! I could send you a BC book in exchange if you want. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. I tend to cook the same ten meals over and over. Tonight is Taco night, yee haw!

2. I spent the whole day working on different versions of my resume.

3. My mailbox was full of nervousness today. I love it when that happens.

[BklvrInVA]

1. I just finished watching the AMA awards show.

2. I am reading the book "Hero of Flight 93, Mark Bingham".

3. My daughter's birthday is today. She is 19.  http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[mejaka]

1. My son's birthday is today. He is 7.

2. I spend a lot of the time during the day lately just longing for the time when the kids are all in bed and I can settle in with Brett...Life's exhausting lately. If it goes on much longer like this I'm going to need counseling.

3. I'm wearing a topcoat on my French manicure called "Sunflash." It has sparkles. :^ )

Happy Birthday!

1. I need to go to bed.

2. I'm so behind both in schoolwork and extracurricular stuff.

3. I now have all 13 episodes of MTV's Undergrads downloaded. I'm such a geek!

[Dalmaney]

1. Tuesday is my new favorite day, as I don't have class until 1 pm and I'm done at 4.

2. I'm being sucked into the "have as much fun as possible" crowd that's mostly in their last semester of university. This could be bad, as I'm a lowly first year with a long road ahead of me.

3. It's -30 C and I spent the weekend in a hot tub. The most valuable thing to remember when in a hot tub when it's this cold is to keep moving when you get out, or your feet will freeze to the ground.

[BreezyK]

1. This is the worst bloody day at work I've had in months and months! I feel like crying!

2. The imrpov registrar goofed up and enrolled me in the beginning class. Now the class I wanted to be in is full. Now I can't have class until the end of February. Wah!

3. <thinkofapositivefact. thinkofapositivefact. thinkofapositivefact.> Cheese is good. <that's all I can think of right now>

Please, Lord, let it be tommorrow!

[thunderstorm_19]

1. it's minus 20 celicius out today.

2. i got an ecard from the nervous elf! lucky me!!

3. i'm hungry-ish, but not very, and i haven't had dinner properly (some grapefruit juice and a pecan butter tart isnt' exactly dinner), so i think i'm gonna go make some minestrone soup.

[BklvrInVA]

1. I got lost today looking for a bookcrossing meetup. I ended up finally going to my favorite bookstore.

2. It's 29 degrees here.

3. I just finished reading the book "The Mulberry Tree" by Jude Deveraux.

it's probably going to be one I keep for quite some while. however, once i've read it, even if i want to keep it, i'd be willing to lend it to you.

1. i'm soooo glad my cold is gone and i have my voice back.

2. i borrowed my friend matt's sweater tonight, it smelled good.

3. stir fryed veggies (carrots, green pepper, onion, portobello mushroom, and garlic) and reheated (tossed into pan with veggies) brown rice for dinner, along with minestrone soup. reallly yummy.

[Bugitha]

1. I don't eat many eggs--I usually buy those sad little 6-packs that cost almost as much as a dozen and then wind up throwing some of them away when they get just too old.

2. Last time I was at the store I bought a carton of 18 eggs because they were on sale for only 3 cents more than the six pack. What was I thinking? ? ? ? ?

3. . . .I guess I'll make a quiche this week.

I guess I'm running out of random facts because eggs were absolutely the only thing I could think to write about. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[miss_jen]

1. I have 3 shelves on the wall above my computer. I changed everything around so that all my very favourite books are just a glance away. It's good for my creative soul.

2. I have written about 7 different facts for this number two, but deleted them because they all sounded dumb. This one made it though. . .

3. I watched Moby on a British TV show last night - and he made me laugh. He talked about something that happened to him in one of my (american) friends home town.

Jx

[sistasmell]

Aw, poor Moby. I feel so bad that some mean men in my town hit him and broke his glasses. I like his geeky ways.

1. I am making lasagne right now. It has taken 1.5 hours already and it's not even in the oven yet. It had better be good. I bet it will be since it has a bechamel sauce in it, plus 3 kinds of meat!
2. It is so cold here that just taking my hand out of my glove for the few seconds it takes to scoop the dog's poop makes me feel like I have frostbite.
3. One good thing about the husband being sofa-ridden is that we don't have to go anywhere in this cold, practically ever.
Bonus since I haven't done this in ages:
4. I taught myself to spin yarn and it is the most fun ever! The yarn is gorgeous.

[lobster-girl]

i haven't poste in forever either...

1. cut my hair and dyed it red red red. i look liek a flapper and it makes me giggle!

2. started painting my bedroom (finally!) and would recommend to everyone that it would go a lot smoother if you EMPTIED the room first. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

3. went to PEARL art supply yesterday and spent $20 on origami paper...they had at least a dozen packs of prints i had never seen before! aaack!

yer spinning yarn now sistasmell? wow! cool!

[Willow_starr]

1. I'm having an internal crisis. Should I run for student government next year (again) or have a life...

2. Stayed up uch too late last night, but a friend needed a shoulder to cry on. We watched ridiculous movies and Shadow of the Vampire which was great!

3. I'm altering part of a sex manual for a LMAO today. It should be lots of fun!

The story that he told was about when he played in Lawrence, KS (where my friend Princess Shelly lives) - apparently, he was standing close to the edge of the stage and a woman grabbed him and bit his penis!!! Poor guy - he doesn't deserve it!

random fandom:

1. I went shopping in the sales this afternoon - I like to do my clothes shopping when it is all at least half price, that way the shops can't make so much profit out of me!!! I found a great pair of brown trousers for £10 and a black top for £7. I was happy with my bargains.

2. My star sign is Virgo.

3. I have a Harry Potter case for my mobile phone.

Oh my. I missed that bit of news. That poor guy can't catch a break! Broken glasses, broken penis.

1. I have completed 4 skeins of yarn and am working on a 2 ply skein for socks. I am doing this spinning with a drop spindle, which is an ancient tool that works great! I've already run out and spent $60 on a ton of fluff to spin. I have become a pretty hardcore knitter, which cracks me up when I think about it. My mother is excited that I'm following in her crafty footsteps. I think she would much prefer that to my punk rock art school artsiness.
2. I have several sock knitting patterns memorized, which means I can grab a ball of yarn and some needles and have something fun to do on the T(subway).
3. I love South Park.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i had stir fry for dinner, which I had made myself.

2. it was really good, though not as good as mom's.

3. the leftovers are tomorrow's lunch.

4. i would love some ice cream, but i'll have to settle for chocolate.

[Dalmaney]

1. Yesterday I taught myself to make duct tape wallets. So far I have made 2; one for me and one for an exchange. I want to make one for my friend Carie as a thank you for allowing me to borrow her car.

2. Tonight I am being antisocial and not going out, even though almost everyone else is. Meh.

3. I am in the process of making a HUGE batch of black bean salad. I've never made anything with black beans before and had no idea how big they'd swell as I soak them. I think I'll freeze some so I'm not eating it for a week. The recipe looked really yummy, so I really hope it is.

[Bugitha]

1.Today I found out that the part I need to fix my vacuum cleaner costs $72. Sheesh. I only paid $120 for the whole machine when I bought it new. I'm debating about whether to buy the part or just get a cheapie $50 vacuum I saw on sale.

2. I was disappointed to discover it only takes 4 eggs to make a quiche.

3. This weekend I'm planning a valentine-making-athon to finish up my V-day lmaos.

Sad, I'm currently in Lawrence, KS. We get a little, errr, excited when stars get out here. Kinda in the boonies.
And, PS, Bugitha, I was just thinking the same damn thing yesterday! I have nearly 18 eggs in my fridge! I was considering making a second quiche and giving it to someone, but who do you give a quiche to???

1. When I got to my 8:30 am class this morning, there was a sign on the door telling everyone in the class to come back at ten. It's a three hour drawing class and I would bet money that my teacher put it there last night so that she could sleep in. That really pisses me off. I would have appreciated an e-mail.

2. I have a class called Myth, Legend, and Folk Lore of East Asia today with the same teacher my mom took it from when she went here. Apparently, he is the coolest man that ever lived.

3. More random- I have always had an obsession with twins. Maybe because I'm a gemini? But I always wanted a twin, and I'm constantly doodling little twin children, or even more so, siamese and parasytic twins. I really need to stop being so obsessed with sideshow freaks.

[Willow_starr]

1. Nervousness is bad, I should be doing laundry.

2. I just found out that my two ex-boyfriends from highschool are living together, and working at the same place in Toronto. Damn, that's weird, I wonder if they talk about me ever (still friends with both of them).

3. I was thinking of asking one of them to DJ my wedding reception. Would that be too weird? He's invited already.

-woohoo! first one on page 67!-

[Bugitha]

1. I burned my fingers twice today while using the hot glue gun. Ouch!

2. I'm supposed to be in a family chat room right now, but I appear to be the only member of the family online tonight.

3. It's been downright balmy around here lately. Where did winter go?

[wundergirl]

1. I have gone to college four four years and a term in four different installments and have nothing to show for it- except a lot of textbooks.
2. I own Spice World, the Spice Girls Movie.
3. I am an sca snob

[miss_jen]

1. I was born in the year of the rat.

2. I have a headache - which I think is because I was up late on the computer playing solitaire.

3. I am a chocoholic.

i haven't done this in a while and i'm bored and feel the urge to.
1. i'm pretty obsessed with my boobs. i can't help it. they are definitly my favorite part of the body. however, i haven't yet named them. when i do that, i'll be beyond help.

2. I'm taking a year off school to move to chicago and take some (non-college) classes there. like second city classes. i love improv and i think i might be good enough to make a go at it. but the thought of moving still scares me.

3. it's such beautiful weather here. really gorgeous. all day i have been thinking about playing hide and go seek with people in the park or having a big grill out or something. But i'm stuck inside working. sigh.

I was reading through a bunch of the posts here and one of KatieKat's also applies to me (#1):

1. I love coffee, and I love ice cream, but I hate coffee-flavored ice cream (and cold coffee, strange, huh?).

2. My thesis title is 16 words long.

3. I am jealous of all the people that are posting from down-under because it is currently 14°F here but feels like -2°F with the wind chill.

Okay, let's hear it. I wrote an undergrad thesis last semester and I'm curious. My title was 14 words long (Including A, And and The).

1. I just finished reading _Cold Mountain_ by Charles Frazer. It was good but I pretty much guessed the ending long before I got there.

2. After making my Valentines for a handmade Valentine lmao, I'm suddenly obsessed with making cards. I have 3 friends with birthdays next month so guess what I'll be doing soon.

3. Yesterday my brother and I were talking and laughing about our elementary school gong show and how our mother was one of the judges. Our acts were so terrible she gonged us both. I swear I felt the spirit of my mother with us as we talked.

Wow! I really haven't much of an idea about what all that involves but it sounds fascinating. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif My thesis traced the causes of the some little known riots in 1917 (I was a history major) and was called "A Lesson to Learn: The Failure of the Gary Schools in New York City." I actually hated my title. It was supposed to be a working title only but then I never came up with anything better, so there it is.

1. In a weird way, I sorta miss those old rotary dial phones we had growing up.

2. I am way too fond of reality T.V.

3. lilacs are my favorite flower.

I haven't been here in a while! My three facts:

2. SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW! It's so beautiful...took my walk in it today and it was awesome.

3. I prep big pots of dry beans periodically, and then freeze them in two-cup freezer-jam containers (look in the canning section at the grocery, near the pectins and stuff). Then I have softened, cooked beans to throw in soups or whatever.

[djf1968]

What a great thread! Here's my contribution...

1. According to my mother, my first crush was Mr. Rogers. "I love[d] the man who talks to me".

2. If money were no object, I'd go back to school at the age of 35 and learn to be a chef.

3. There are times when I think email and cellular phones are more trouble than they're worth. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

and one extra...

4. I'm addicted to sushi

[solarpluvia]

Such fun, so one more time:

1 - I had two imaginary friends while growing up, one was named John Brown and the other was a rooster named Big Shot. They were both dead.

2 - If I could afford it, I'd go back to school and go for a master's in either sociology or communications.

3 - If I could start over from any point in my life it would be from my freshman year in high school. And I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[Bugitha]

1. In Jr. high school, my friends and I would hang out at the mall all the time, but we never really looked in the music stores or looked at clothes or played with the cosmetic samples in the department stores. Instead we headed straight for the furniture departments and picked out the things we wanted for our eventual homes. That seems so weird to me now.

2. I'm caught up on all my nervousness stuff--just waiting on traveling lmaos that haven't arrived yet--so I'm bored! But due to lack of funds, I'm holding off on signing up for a bunch of new stuff to work on. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

1.the thought of getting buried alive lurks around my brain constantly

2.i cannot talk about science or philosiphies to do with the meaning of life at night...it actualy scares me more than The Smurfs!It makes me stay up all the time!

3.I'm half Lebanese,quarter Japanese & quarter english.

[mejaka]

More synchronicity with Bugitha:

1. I don't give a hoot about the Super Bowl either.

And two more facts:

2. Yesterday as a very good friend and I were discussing our (considerable) life stresses and promising each other that when one of us got rich she'd take the other to Jamaica for a month, it suddenly became clear that she was not fantasizing. She is going to receive a very large settlement... The thing is--she'd rather have her husband back, and I don't really want to go to Jamaica. I just fantasize about hot lazy vacations when I'm really stressed...

3. Recently I obtained two James C. Christiansen Christmas tree ornaments at half price. Since I will never own an actual Christiansen, or even a print, I am very pleased to have them!

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i have pms and i'm being super-bitchy

3. I'm going to Canada with my mom in the spring to work on our family tree. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

3. Tomorrow I have a clown gig, making balloon animals for a birthday party.

[dogfogg]

1. I'm not in love with my husband the way I should be. I really love, and have since he was a senior in high school, Spencer. He's 5 years my junior and he's 27 now.

2. Today the sun is shinning and the thin layers of ice look like silver.

3. I'm afraid of being old.

1.  I found the tape of the final episode of 90210 last night and I was way too excited.  (It's a moment in history, you know!)

I completely agree! I like soymilk, chocolate syrup and frozen banana shakes for breakfast! Yum!

1. I am currently playing "Civilization: The Board Game", my friends are a snack run. It is going to be a long night!

2. My piece colour is purple.

3. I want to be an organic farmer and artisan when I "grow up".

[mejaka]

1. I once had the following answering-machine message: "You have reached the Mauldin Heiner Institute for the Destruction of Mental Health. We are currently unable to answer the phone. Please leave a message and we will call you back..."

2. I also used the sig line "Janna Mauldin Heiner, Director, Mauldin Heiner Institute for the Destruction of Mental Health," and got some very serious challenges about it.

3. At the time I had recently added a third child to my family, which maybe explains it all. (I now have four children. The destruction is complete...<G>)

1. If the houses behind my house were pulled down I'd have a pretty good view of the cathedral. I'll bet the owners won't go for it though. . .how selfish of them!

2. After three years of neglect, my two attic rooms are tidy beyond my wildest dreams - I have sacred space!

3. Because there were only front row seats available for LOTR last night, I ended up seeing 'about schmidt' with my movie buddy (almost half my age, but twice my intelligence! http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif )
I told him that if nothing else it would serve as a warning for him to not be like that when he was older. But he won't be - because he is a damn cool kid!

hehe how fun

1. I am only 5 foot tall
2. Music is everything to me
3. I am married http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[amylyn]

1) I spanged my ankle dancing last night.
2) I am craving enchiladas and gravy.
3) I am home alone. My daughter went to a dance, my middle son went to hayward, and my littlest went to a birthday party.
I am RELAXING! I think I will soak my ankle.

[littlebird]

1. Last night I walked in on my roommate having sex. You know when you stare at a light for too long and it burns the shape on your retinas? Yeah, I have their image burnt onto my eyes.

2. I think I'm getting flowers for valentine's day, but it's from a boy I'm not even mildly interested in.

3. Also last night, I told one of my biggest secrets to someone when I was drunk and now I'm very worried that he will tell my conservative best friend, who would be horrified.

[miss_jen]

1. My nose is blocked and my sinuses hurt - I also twisted my neck this morning and it aches. Happy Sunday.

2. I live five miles away from the water side village where King Kanute tried to stop the tide (Bosham, West Sussex, England). His daughter is buried in the church there.

3. I have booked flights to France in September - it cost just £45 for return tickets! It costs £20 to get to London by train. . .but just £45 to FLY to the Alps - go figure!

[Dalmaney]

1. It's too cold. I spend all day lately crawling into and out of the multiple layers I require to survive the -35C chill. I'm ready for a nice balmy -15 again.

2. I ran out of milk, so it's time to go grocery shopping. That is my grocery gauge. When I'm drinking my coffee black, it's time for a trip to Superstore. I think I may want to make buns in the near future, so I need to make sure I have the ingredients.

3. On Valentine's I think I'll be participating in a murder mystery evening. I've always wanted to do that. Plus, it'll be a good thing to do to be with my friends and distract all of us from our (very insistant) singlehood. It's been tricky to get off the ground because we need 4 girls and 4 guys, and it's hard to figure out who's into Let's Pretend. It's also hard to invite people that sort of come in groups. But it's not really my idea so I'm looking forward to it alot. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Bugitha]

1. Last night I was offered a free ticket last minute to a Big Bad Voodoo Daddy concert. I was already in my pj's and had to get ready in 20 minutes. Yikes! But I'm so glad I did because it was SUCH a fun show.

2. I called my brother this morning to wish him a Happy Super Bowl. (He really does think its a holiday!)

3. Since I haven't been working and therefore have not had to stick to a schedule, I find that I prefer to eat twice a day--I get hungry around 10am and about 4pm.

[whalesong]

1. People take one look at my long fingers and ask if I play the piano (I do, but not seriously).

2. I am currently $853.64 in debt to my parents for my lovely, beautiful, magnificent iBook.

3. I love to listen to Irish music, especially the Chieftans (this is part of why I downloaded music from "Gangs of New York")

[Herbwoman]

This is really interesting! I really enjoy reading about other people...a lot!
Dalmaney, I have participated in three murder mysteries and had a great time...if you think of it, will you let me know how it goes?
Whalesong, the Chieftans are great! I have had the pleasure of attending two concerts with my now 18 1/2 year old daughter. She does Irish flute music...among other musical past-times...

My three facts...
1) I really enjoy learning about herbs/"weeds" - all aspects of them
2) I have three tattoos...all acquired at what would be considered an "older" age...
3) One of my cats (Dusty) is crazy...she will try to sit on my
lap no matter where I am sitting in the house! http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

[whalesong]

My dad took me to see the Chieftans many, many years ago (I think I was about 6 years old and now I'm 16-1/2!). I don't remember it very well, except that it was very fancy-shmancy.

1. The first time I ever went to Disneyland it was a surprise. My dad had to go down to LA on buisness and brought me along. I had NO idea what was going on!

2. I was recommended Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone way before it became popular. The second book wasn't even out!

3. I've always loved the name Flora because it was the name of Babar's daughter.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i nearly had a cow just now when i saw "whalesong"'s post... why? because whalesong17 is one of the 3 screen names i use, and it's my primary email address, and it's what my friend zack calls me (he routinely drops the "17" so i just become "whalesong", since i'm not 17 anymore.

2. i had my first Tazo tea from starbucks today. very good.

3. i went to chapters and DIDN'T buy anything!

[whalesong]

Sorry Thunderstorm!!! I have absolutely no intention of stealing peoples' SNs. I just wanted a break from my usual ones. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif I've loved whales for years (I adopted one once...) and just like the way "whalesong" sounds. You have good taste. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. When I wear my boots with 3" heels I'm just about 6ft tall.
2. I think that washers found while walking along are good luck.
3. My high score on "Snake" (the game on Nokia cell phones) is 950. I was very, very bored that day.

[Bugitha]

1. I had a job interview today with quite possibly the nicest person in the world. However, I have a feeling she's not going to hire me. She said she'd let me know by tomorrow.

2. The surprise check I mentioned in another thread is mine to keep! Yippeeeee! The university made a mistake in not giving me the full amount of financial aid in my last semester and have just now reimbursed me almost $1000! Shame on me, though, for not realizing they shorted me 4 months ago.

3. It has sprinkled all day--I wish the skies would open up for a good hard rain.

1. Right now there is the BIGGEST spider on the wall behind the computer. Except the spider is up near the top of the wall, right in the corner of my vision, so I can't get it out of my head. Needless to say the spider is scaring the bejeezus out of me.

2. I'm not normally scared of spiders.

3. The URL in my signature is for the blog where I keep track of the things I'm (getting) involved in through the Nness forums.

1 - I now have an account on livejournal, but I'm not sure what to do with it.

[sistasmell]

My mom-in-law used to hang with the Chieftains back in the day before she got married and had 5 kids. She was a singer and sang with all kinds of cool people. She still belts out a big tune any chance she gets.

1. I'm not sure how to spell it but one of our friends called us "bourgie" (as in bourgeois) yesterday as I was handing him Rainforest Nut coffee and a plate of biscotti. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif I mean, I know I haven't really been punk rock since college, since I clean the house and cook and do laundry and all, but bourgie? It made me sad. He, however, is still very punk rock. He shut his trap when he tasted my potato pancakes, though. Heh.

2. I prefer to think of myself as "Crazy Hillbilly Spinning and Knitting Lady" who just happens to live in the city and dress all stylie and has cute spikey hair.

3. My husband got a walking cast yesterday! He can't walk yet, but it is a start! I also got my first look at his leg. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

1) unlike the rest of the local anarchists/ punks/ activists/ however they call themselves these days I not only knows Chomsky's political theories but have been struggling with his full-of-holes generative grammar crap for the past 3 semesters. Half-way through my degree, I know one thing for sure: he's not MY hero.

2) a local emo band (whose members DO admire Chomsky) is named as a homage to the man's Syntactic theory. Back in the days Chomsky proved that a sentence can be syntactically correct without bearing any semantic meaning. The sentence is Colorless green ideas sleep furiousLY. Cute, eh? So the band is called Sleep Furious. It's a rather dumb mistake. I love it when people who try to act intellectual make fool out of themselves....

3) The Odyssey kicks The Illiad's ass!

sistasmell, this is ever so much more interesting than punk rock.

1. I'm not sure what all the keys on my computer keyboard are for.

2. I bought a huge vat of oatmeal just 'cause it was on sale. My problem is, I don't like hot cereal. I see a lot of cookies and granola bars and oatmeal pie crusts in my future (the only things I know to make with oatmeal.) Or I may take it over to my brothers house--land of the hot cereal eaters.

3. The evil mail lady left me my mail without picking up my outgoing nervousness mail yesterday. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif I swear she does that deliberately.

[mejaka]

1. I had four hours of unexpected meetings yesterday and still managed to pull together a decent Pack Meeting.

2. One of those meetings involved smashing a pot and then gluing it back together. It was harder than we expected and now more than ever I feel this is a very bad object lesson to be using...but I'm not in charge and she who is still loves it.

3. I got a massage Monday. I want another today.

Holy Sh*t! I can't believe how long this thread has gotten! I haven't posted here in a few months (I think http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif) So here's some more stuff about silly ole me...

1) There has been a new addition to the family...A female Betta http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif She's lovely. Her name is My Little Pony (I didn't name her http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif)

2) I am getting married on June 7th...wow. It's still weird to say that outload!

3) and...hmmm...I am totally addicted to Star Trek. I never thought It would happen. I made fun of my boyfriend (er..fiance?) for so long about his Star Trek addiction...karma I guess http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i have concluded that, as a general rule, men suck. see my livejournal.

2. i only had 1 hour of class today. I have 7 tomorrow, but will probably only attend 5.

3. i ate half a 500mL tub of Haagen Das chocolate chip cookie cough ice cream tonight.

[mejaka]

bugitha, I want to hear an update on your interview when there is one.

Death_or_Aldona...I'm boring too. The massage only cost $30 for a full hour...It was so worth it. My last was a gift from my sister the week of my wedding--16 YEARS AGO.

Hey, in honor of your engagement--three wedding facts! :^ )

1. I won the Z-103 Wedding Giveaway. It was an annual contest I'd been hearing on the radio every June for years, and a little old man who sold us a diamond convinced me to sign up--"Honey, you really should, nobody is entering this year, I bet you win!" I wish I had sent him a thank-you card. My winnings included free photography, cake, tuxes, invitations, and more things than I can recall.

2. I was married in the Boise Idaho LDS Temple, with only members of my family and Brett's attending.

3. I used untraditional wording when ordering my invitation (with Brett and I announcing our own marriage) and this upset my mother so badly that I called and had it changed to the traditional, paternalistic. demeaning "Mr. and Mrs. so and so announce the marriage of their daughter, Janna..." I regretted it for a long time, but I'm grown-up enough now to know it really just doesn't matter.

[Willow_starr]

Three wedding facts:

1. Date: May 31, 2003

2. We're keeping it smallish and unconventional.

3. My great friend (queenlydia here) is making our clothes!

[nuKKe]

ok, since today is our 5th month anniversary I'll give some wedding facts of my own:
1. We flew to Cyprus and got married in a small town near Larnaca. Cyprus is like a very laid-back Israel so there were no romantic/ exotic motive for choosing the location; it's just that there are no civil marriages in Israel.

2. We were 10 people there (us, his family, my family), 4 cameras and 1 video camera. They were so busy documenting for the friends and relatives that they weren't into experiencing and sharing it with us.

3. My dress is store-bought. After adding a custom-made undergarment(??) to it it cost 888nis. (185$) and it's mine to keep. It is a really comfy dress, not too elegant and suited to the weather just fine. My custom-made red sandals cost 400 or 500 nis (that is less than 100$ but about half the price of the dress)

[Bugitha]

mejaka--just as I suspected the other day, I was not offered the job I interviewed for. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif I'm sure something else will come up soon.

1. We may have record-breaking high temperatures today. It's supposed to get up to about 65 degrees. Feels like springtime.

2. I need a nap.

3. I'm trying to read _Atlas Shrugged_ but I'm having a hard time getting into it.

[thunderstorm_19]

1... drew's coming to visit me!

2... i am eating a stale cinnamon bun and great coffee for breakfast, at 10 to 11 a.m.

3... i have been up since 9:30... must leave at 12:30 for a 1pm class.

[BreezyK]

I haven't done this in forever!

1. I trip over my own feet at least once a day. (Allready did it before 9 am today).

2. I bought a Francis!Francis! espresso machine through ebay last week and can't wait to get it. It's so purrrrty! S'posed to be delivered Saturday.

3. My performance review is today. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[BadKitty13]

Ok, here goes. This is amazing that this is 69-now 70 pages long!! Whew! I want to read them all, but oh! I'm a slow reader!

1.) I have a rose tattoo to remind me that beauty is inherent to the person, not just the facade. A reminder I need living here in L.A.

2.) My cat, whom I rescued off the street not even knowing that I like'd cats, is my first true love. Strange but true.

3.) I am afraid of needles despite the fact that I sport several tattoo's, and tend to hyper-ventilate whenever I have to give blood or otherwise get injected with medicine. At least I'll never have to worry about being a junkie!

Hiya folks! A friend just introduced me to nervousness.org, and I think it looks like a pretty good idea http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif but its a pity that sign ups are closed (though I can understand why from reading around the site etc). Anyway, I thought I'd make this my first participation as its pretty cool http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. I think ankles are gorgeous

2. I once tried to make a rubber chicken fly using many many helium balloons

3. I know almost all of Monty Python and the Holy Grail off by heart (o_@)

Monty Python is so cool!

1. one of favourite movie quotes is from 'Life of Brian' - "He's not the Messiah ... he is a very naughty boy".

2. I am a FlyLady wannabe but I just can't seem to get the hang of it - too disorganised, I guess  http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

3. I am a ChemoAngel

[Dalmaney]

I still quote bits of The Holy Grail... unfortunately usually around people who have no idea what I'm talking about. "She turned me into a newt!" "A newt?" "I got better..."

1. It is 3:30AM and I just got back from my shift of volunteer duty. Engineering is hosting a conference for Grade 8 girls. 80 of them. In a hotel...I pity the other guests. Most of the girls are now asleep, but not all of them. All I'm doing for the conference is that, so I got off pretty easy.

2. I don't care if Grade 8 girls think I'm mean. (And no one needs ice at 2AM. So if they ask me, no one gets it.)

3. My cynicism over the grading schemes at school is reaching such epic proportions that I'm having serious motivational issues. And yet I must do a killer assignment tomorrow and study for midterms. In the end, power is right, with or without reason.

[solarpluvia]

"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!" An ex of mine has the whole script for Holy Grail taped to his bedroom wall. And since I had nothing better to do whilst he was cheating on me with my best friend... not that I'm still bitter.

1 - I know all of the words to the songs in Paint Your Wagon and Oliver! and Sound of Music

2 - My shower badly needs scrubbing.

3 - I wear glasses to drive.

[pooshouse]

This sounds like a good way to get to know people....

"A shrubbery?"

1. I'm a FlyBaby

2. I don't like bowling

3. I have a real Christmas tree in my living room still, because I don't want the frost to get its new shoots (it's in a pot)

[miss_jen]

1. I'm wearing a pair of my favourite pyjamas - but they are so worn out that they indecent!

2. It rained this morning and all the snow that was still around vanished. Even up on the hill.

3. I love chocolate cake. It's a fact.

1... i have to track down a package today.

2... at 4pm yesterday i started doing henna on my hands, and got annoyed when i washed it off because it hadn't stained much, though it had been on for an hour by that point. The stain has since gotten much darker (9:36 the next morning).

3... because of the henna, my hands stink.

4... i should do some work today, but that package has been waiting since last friday (not yesterday) to get picked up, and I want to know what it is.

5... it's time for a coffee

6... i will most likely go to the pub tonight and have a very lovely Guinness.

[Bugitha]

1. I just found out about the shuttle explosion. God. This is awful. I feel awful.

2. My right ankle is almost an inch bigger around than my left ankle due (I think) to scar tissue from two sprains and a dislocation.

3. I'm supposed to go to Pinoccios for lunch today. I don't really feel like going.

[whalesong]

1. I wish that I had kept dancing ballet when I was younger.

2. The city I live in is trying to shut down the public library that I've been going to since I moved here in December '99. I know all the librarians, have volunteered there, and there's this lovely little window seat that I love to lie on to read. But they're going to close it down!

3. My grades suck because I'm lazy. It drives my parents through the roof.

1. I'm a forums newbie and a nervousness pre-newbie.

oh whalesong... wow it's so wierd calling someone else that... you and i seem to have a fair bit in common!

1. i'm exhausted. just got back from a friend's house. She made us stir fry for dinner, yummy chocolatey dessert, and we played a lot of comedic music/CDs. We got there about 5pm, and got in a few minutes ago (1am).

2. my friends i went with are a bit pissed at me, i think. we took cabs there and back. $5.50 and $4.75 costs, between 3 of us. I paid $2 each way. One has no cash. whilst it isn't much money, I don't want to feel expected to absorb that person's share of the fare as well as my share. If I offer, that's one thing, to be expected to is another. Maybe I don't see it the same way they do, but I got annoyed, and so did they.

3. nights like this make me wanna say "screw university" and go home. but that would not be smart.

1 - I have an LMAO to mix and pack up, but I am here instead.

1) I love old country music, old metal, old punk and hardcore, Isreaeli new-wave which is old too...

2) The film "The Decline of Western Civilization" kept me alive in my 18th birthday. A pathetic reason but hey, the film rocks!

3) my nick (pronounced nook-keh) means "doll" in Finnish. It's also a song title by Kaaos, an old Finnish punk band.

[miss_jen]

1. I am procrastinating - I should really be making some supper or having a shower.

2. I'm going to a 'Wonderstuff' concert in London tomorrow - it will be fantastic to see them playing live again.

3. I have the most biggest secret - and although I'm on the verge of being desperate, I cannot tell. . .
. . .funnily enough just typing that has made it a little better!

1. I have been thinking lately about how incredibly difficult Bush's life must be right now, and being a bit amazed at his ability to hold it together as well as he does (even though I don't think war is necessary).

2. I like graham crackers with peanut butter.

3. I bought a small pot of tulips and one of sweet little irises today. :^ )

OK, since both nuKKe and luckeye are both here and I can't post in the random kindness topic without screwing up the rhythm, I'm going to say this here--luckeye, you slipped in just before me and ended up between me and nuKKe, and I'm just as tickled to get a letter or postie from you! :^ )

I like graham crackers with lemon yogurt--tastes like cheesecake!

1. I'm afraid to do my taxes because I think this might be the first time ever that I actually owe money.

2. My friend was telling me how she got up at 5:30am on Sunday and studied straight through until 4pm. Suddenly I'm not missing school so much.

3. I wish I were allowed to paint the walls of my apartment something other than white.

[solarpluvia]

And after I finished the "who are you thread"!

1 - my dreams happen as movies, usually action or horror films, complete with an all star cast.

2 - I get horrible headaches that last for weeks.

3 - I have been in the forums here for almost 3 hours!

oh no, i hope you don't get them often. the longest i've ever had lasted about 4 days.

i actually don't have much idea what facts i'm going to post here. think, think...

1 - well i have to remind myself not to cook chicken again, or i'll never have the stomach to eat the stuff even if it's cooked by others. i was so hungry though i had no choice but to finish the whole dish, uhh.

2 - i get hungry so fast even if i've had a huge meal a couple of hours earlier. a friend of mine used to call me in swedish 'den alltid hungrig lilla flicka' - the always hungry little girl. that's me.

3 - i'm going to toast 2 slices of bread spread with condensed milk. yummy. i can't possibly follow the no food before bedtime rule.

;-)

1. I'm finally back and I have TONS of pages to catch up on! Yipes! I think we were only on page 50 something the last time I was on here!

2. I'm hating my uncle. Grandma left everything to him and he's cleaned out his fire place, so he's burning anything and everything he can that doesn't mean something to him (he has the mind of a 10 year old so that's pretty much everything) and I don't see how he could do
