Three random facts:

[hammerquill]

I'm around.

Principally, I'm here to donate this smiley to gwensmom and the rest of the local math geeks (among whom I proudly count myself): http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/crazy/1088.gif

I had dinner with bluecrayon this evening. :)

[Lilac]

Well, I'm back again. I can' sleep. I've had too much adrenaline flowing through my veins all day.

I just lay in bed and toss and turn.

I tried reading, but I couldnt get into the book...too clinical...so I decided to get up and see who was hanging out in here.


Hello?????

[Larrissa]

helllooooooooo

[hammerquill]

I thought Lilac had gone to bed rather early...

And Eve's up astonishingly early.

I was about to get stuff done, too. Really I was.

[Lilac]

:D

[Cuilanië]

Hello!

I don't get why I keep waking up around 8am of late.

It doesn't stop me from staying up too late in the evening.

The next step would be coffee and breakfast, but I'm still too sleep-chilled to move.

[kamoke]

It seems Im slipping into an early morning addiction. I always tend to go to sleep when the sun is coming up

who decides to start cleaning at 3am?

blah blah I still haven't found my house key ;)

Those who haven't an excuse to start baking then.

Whatever else they may put in the Nervousness water, they certainly seem to have spiked it with caffeine.

Speaking of the Nness water, it occurred to me yesterday that it is often said that three of the most difficult things to get through as a couple are having kids, buying a house, and doing serious remodeling. Poor Curlita!

One of my favorite authors has two new books out in hardback. Dangerous. Dangerous.

[Larrissa]

i mustnt be so careless

i could mess it up

and then it wouldnt be there anymore

[Lilac]

and what exactly would you be messing up me wonders.

Yes precious, me wonders....

[Larrissa]

ahaha i dont want THIS hanging around later :D

[Gingersmack]

Me want the precious... oh yes, me does.

Listening to Willy Wonka sndtrk.

Help me, pleeeease.

[Lilac]

Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do
I have a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me
What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?
Eating as much as an elephant eats
What are you at getting terribly fat?
What do you think will come of that?

I don't like the look of it

[Gingersmack]

That really isn't helping all that much, now, is it??!

You don't have hairy toe knuckles, I admire that!

I do wonder whether you crave a tempting orange Oompa Loompa though... ;)

[Lilac]

Nah...I'll pass on that Oopma Loompa offer, thanks.

Just not in the mood for Oompa Loompa love tonight.

I could go for an Everlasting Gobstopper, though! :lol:

[Cuilanië]

I have successfully ventured Outside My Room. I'm eating breakfast.

I'm the queen of typos this morning, but my eyes have cleared so I'm catching most of them before I post.

I sometimes wonder whether I use English punctuation correctly or not...

[Cuilanië]

I see Theresa. Hello! :wave: How's it going?

I'm going to have to reheat my coffee. I miss the mug-warmer pad I had in my student days...

It irks me that the European and North American electrical systems aren't compatible. Then it makes me laugh, because it's a rather ridiculous thing to get irked about. ;)

[Larrissa]

irk! i love this word

it irks me that i dont use it in actual conversation more often

what really irks me is ... hmm ... i cant think of a damn thing that really irks me right now.

[Larrissa]

okay im irked.

all this post crashing and i dont feel obstinate enough to reinsert my questions

im going to go now

:angry: :P :rolleyes:

[bluecrayon]

ha! I knew it.

I am feeling my oats tonight...

and people are running! :lol:

[Gingersmack]

Larissa's irked.

Me, running, no.

Not planning too.

[Larrissa]

can a person laugh too much?

can you be the source of your own laughter too often?

can i ever get over me?

[bluecrayon]

me is all I'll ever really spend my life with...

I guess I can never get over me

what would I do if I did?

[Larrissa]

i have no idea

no clue

nothing else to say

[bluecrayon]

see that?

bluecrayon zaps around the boxes

and can't figure out how to get from here to There... :(

[Larrissa]

nahh really, im going now

"have a wondrous super floaty dream filled evening" i say to you

i may have posted every day since i joined :huh:

[Gingersmack]

Yep!

What boxes?

Start at point A and work your way to point B - Z.

[Lilac]

I'm going too. It's four Oclock here!

I havent stayed up this late since I was in labor with my son!

You guys are a bad influence on me! :lol:

Goodnight all!

[Gingersmack]

Just after 1 here.

No bad influences here.

Nighters, sweets!

I'll say.

Lilac seems to be turning all Gollumy up there. Can't be good.

Nor would she be a logical casting choice when choosing Gollums, IMHO.

Speaking of which, I can't seem to get away from the cursed Peter Jackson LotR paraphernalia - today my bank had life-size standees of Ian McKellen as Gandalf and that Bloom thing as Legolas standing around obtruding their presences in the lobby. grrr.

[Gingersmack]

I say BOO!

Sorry to see Lilac go nighters...

What next?

[siafu]

:wub: the bloom thing :wub:

*eta, ok, not really bloom himself...the elf <3

only one more section in this third: torts

stupid test

[Gingersmack]

What's blooming?

What elf?

Torts?

[siafu]

talking about orlando bloom, calling him the bloom thing. he played the elf legolas in peter jackson's lord of the rings trilogy. he's so pretty as an elf :)

torts is the branch of law for harms that people do to each other, sometimes intentional, sometimes not. stuff like battery, invasion of privacy, defamation, trespass to land.

i'm studying for the oregon bar exam at the end of this month. i better hurry.

[kamoke]

I think I'll walk to work on this beautiful morning

I had french toast for breakfast

Apparently I am to make a song about four am messages ;)

Yeah, two out of three in one summer. :blink:

We did remodeling two years ago, and it was extremely stressful, but we survived.

So far we are operating as a finely tuned cooperative unit and haven't been taking the stress out on each other. Well, not too much. ;)

[Larrissa]

i see sara and say HELLO, ya hippie

morning is cool, i am sunburnt

i go home today, i do so hope i have mail waitin

[Curlita]

Today is Heritage Day in Issaquah, where we set all the kids up with hands-on activities to do. Kids seem to particularly love using the old-fashioned wringer for some reason.

I wish Theresa good luck with her torts.

I'm glad that the only torts I need to concern myself with are tortes.

[namelessgirl]

I've only been up ten minutes, and I'm already pestering Larrissa

But she's a good sport about it :P

But I just said something that she might disown me for :o

[Larrissa]

i cant take credit for wanting to kick him in the balls.

but i will if i ever shall meet him

what an ass

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i'm going to spend the afternoon at my sister's

2 i got up, had breakfast, cried, and went back to sleep for a half hour this morning

3 i'm going to take the b-vitamin suggestion and buy some

[Larrissa]

i am chewing on the lid to my water bottle, MUST FIDGET

[namelessgirl]

Curlita, you can come make tortes at my house ANY time!!!! :D


Larrissa, why are you so fidgety? Maybe it's all the caffeine!


I am dreading getting up from the computer and having to actually do things today.

[Larrissa]

"spiffalicious" she says, just because i want to share

the iguana is evil, i put lettuce on his head and he sits there with it for hours

my camera has been working with me, took almost 20 pictures, lots of which i will share with you folks

[Larrissa]

i could almost ignore my tupos before, but now they YELL AT ME "LOOK AT ME YOU CNAT TYPE!"

im not fixing that

deasl with it

[Larrissa]

bleh i say, BLEH!

[namelessgirl]

I'm proud of myself: I've been working in the garage for over an hour.

The garbage bin is now FULL!

It's hot as hell out there though and time for a drink.

Bonus #4: Larrissa is being stingy and refuses to drive down and help me clean! :angry: You have no idea what a fun time you are missing out on!!! :D

[Larrissa]

i have work to do here! like loaf away on the internet and record cds and mess with photoshop and wonder why the fuck people willpay so much for it and why cant it work all easy like paint shop pro and where the holy hell is the browse function

i should shower when i get home, i dont smell too good

and CONGRATULATIONS on the geerage! still raining?

[zanna]

going out to do a few geocaches ..

that is if my stomache will let me.

:ill: bleh.

[namelessgirl]

No, the rain has let up for now. But it is humid as all hell here.

I am multitasking and doing laundry at the same time.

Go me. B)

[Larrissa]

i have a wisdom tooth coming in on the right side, its attention-taking

radiohead ... simply ... rocks.

[Joan Nice Girl Rivers]

Dear, I do have an agenda to manage, so I won't be able to out-post you, but I'll post a time or two....

I have to keep fresh in the memories of the producers of the phrennies, so they'll have me back again next year. It's all about the contacts for the contracts.

:wub: :wub: :wub:

[Larrissa]

oh yeah, 5000 happened, i dont know when. :huh:

it looks like it might storm most wonderfully :D

the cdrecording program daddy-o has BLOWS. :angry:

[Sirius]

George Michael's Faith is on the radio. I haven't heard this song, since, well, since it was popular. It's a fun little song.

hm. hope no one sees me bopping around to it.

where's that little dancing smilie when I need him....

[Larrissa]

my sister thinks she can call me a "ho"??

we are going to eat at olive garden in an hour

shes going to take me home too

[Dalmaney]

I am so very tired we are threatening to roll back curfew for the kiddies.

I am officially postponing the pontoon boat cruise due to crappy weather.

I have two days off coming soon, and I need them. Bad.

1. I'm 78 pages behind on 3RF! :o I just read nymphette's message and she wrote it on June 18. Oops!

2. 3 weeks left, Robyn! But the baby might decide to say hi early because he dropped 3 weeks ago!

3. Mmmm, chicken cacciatore!

[Sirius]

Eek! Babies! I held a baby Friday and his mother said it looked good on me. I have no place to file that information.

I mentioned to Brian this morning another reason for us not to have kids. The cat woke me up several times last night, and if I keep getting awakened, I might as well not try to sleep, the end result is the same.

Some one said "Well, aren't you all spiffy today." I looked down and I am wearing a t-shirt and jeans. I pointed this out. Per them, the t-shirt having sparklies in the shape of a firework, and the heels qualify as spiffy.

[Larrissa]

she has to "wake up" still.

i am going to go burn more music

down with the RIAA! :yell:

[namelessgirl]

i am jealous of all the pregnant ladies

i hope larrissa burned me a cool cd

had a nice phone call with a friend from my days in new mexico.

[Larrissa]

i feel this cd will not be well recieved by him, but hes a picky shit. oh well :D

its been a bit strange in here lately, has anyone else noticed?

here being more than just the collection of not-so-random random facts ...

[bluecrayon]

I have noticed no strangeness, just spins and cycles like always...

It is another of those holidays and I have the blues big time

It is hard doing the "family" thing, when the heart is elsewhere... :(

I see Julie, too! Hi Julie! How is the baby doing? Do you have a name picked out yet?
1. Now only 75 pages behind on 3RF... <_<

2. The baby is doing fine! And he's getting big too! My doctor said that he should be at least 8 pounds.

3. His name is going to be Justin (unless I change my mind at the last minute). I like it but I couldn't find other names that I liked more and my boyfriend loves it, so Justin it is. Why is it that I can't find one single boy's name that I love?

[Larrissa]

please forgive me, miss spy for filling all the pages of 3rf's i have surely filled

i wish you luck in your reading :)

i named my mix cds "S" and "J", i like them both alot and am making additional copies of both.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i just read 2 pages of 3 random fictions thinking i was in the 3 random facts thread, and people were saying mean things, and i couldn't be sure if it was jokes or not...

2 i am much relieved to have noticed my own error there.

3 it is raining, finally. it has been very humid and heavy all day, we need a good long rain.

[hammerquill]

I just got a beautiful book from Alpaca.

I should be working on one for her.

There's a nasty chemical smell, like plasticky glue, in my bathroom, presumably coming up from the garage below.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i might go play in the rain

2 only 4 days till the big birthday (my gran's)

3 i would drink V8 or similar tomato juice combination if we had any... but i don't think we do...

[velma]

I hate fourth of July

I like crows (there's one talking outside my window--probably complaining about July 4 noise, too)

I want to return to the south and live in a small shack by the water. (I hate Worcester! oops--that's 4 facts!) :huh:

[Larrissa]

about to bitch, skip over if you dont want to hear it ...

:lol:

its hot.

im hungry.

i am listening to the S. mix cd and it is found that i recorded a song i didnt want on it, and i have already recorded four of them.

ARGH! :yell:

if this freaking cd recording program was more eloquent i could just go and make another, but nooooo, its an excruciating process, i might have to go to the hospital after attempting another cd so soon.

I am spinning with some kind of amorphous discontent today...

maybe the fact that he forgot to tell me he wasn't going to be around today after we made plans talk? hmm.. too much logic for me.

[Lilac]

I had to come back from the family BBQ to let the dogs out. I'll be going back in a bit to watch the fireworks display. I'm not too thrilled about it...but my son wants to watch them...and we sure as heck can't see them from way out here!

The day hasnt been too bad...actually, I've been having a good time..but I'm just ready to settle in for the evening. I'm not all that crazy about the 4'th of July, either.

My son's frog did not win in the frog jumping contest. It came in 3'rd from last.


Hi Larrissa, Blue, Hammerquill, Siafu and everyone!

[kamoke]

I had a lot of fun at work today.. singing and dancing! :D

The sun is sinking below the horizon now! magnificent!

You are beautiful!

There is a power plant less than a mile from my house on fire. Big ugly smell and big ugly black clouds are coming by. The cloud is so menacing I thought it was already dark outside.

There are two wildfires burning elsewhere in the state.

I have insomnia again, so I am up being productive.

My mother in law is driving me crazy. She wants me to talk to my mom and sis about changing the date of my baby shower so it doesn't conflict with her plans for a big bridge game. I'm sorry, how did this become my problem? <_<

[Larrissa]

i am so drunk i cant recogfnze my sisetr

I cant sleep, either, Curlita. My dreams are haunted of an ex love, making me melancholy.

My present love just does not take the place of the one missing.

I've never admitted this to anyone, but it's true. And painful.

[Larrissa]

1. I'm only 56 pages behind on 3RF now. I'm determined to catch up!

2. Curlita, consider yourself lucky because no one organized a baby shower for me! :'( So we've had to buy everything and I don't even want to remember how much we've spent so far... :o

3. I hope breastfeeding goes well...

[AlienSpy]

Oops! Double post...

[Curlita]

Julie, you are right. I am very lucky to have family who want to plan a shower for me. Thank you for reminding me before I get all caught up in my drama!

I had a lot of anxiety dreams about breast-feeding a few months ago. I recommend the Sears & Sears breastfeeding book - it's really thorought. I also checked out a BF video, and that helped a lot (it's easier to see how it works). Another woman I know said that taking a breastfeeding class was the best thing she did to prepare. I hope it goes well too!

Today is our dog's third birthday. We told him that in honor of his birthday, all the banks would be closed and the federal government would shut down. Because he is a dog, he believes us.

[Curlita]

Lilac, we must have just missed each other. I'm sorry you were alone with your melancholy.

There is an Azerbejani (sp?) belief that we all have a vampire in our lives, someone we fell in love with and were so consumed with that we never really get over. We carry the heartbreak with us forever, to some extent.

It's not a particularly cheery theory, but I know who my vampire was.

[namelessgirl]

It's not a particularly cheery theory, but I know who my vampire was.

Ditto on that Curlita!

So Ms Larrissa was *supposed* to call me last night and I was all bummed because she didn't.

But in fairness, she may have tried but was too drunk to press the right numbers!!! :P Did you misdial and talk to anyone interesting?

[Sirius]

Across the street from where I live is a large undeveloped area, it is county land, basically my street is the dividing line between incorporated land and county land. This power station is in that large undeveloped area. At first I thought someone had been playing with fireworks that shouldn't have. It is still buring this morning....

The Arizona Republic
Jul. 5, 2004 12:00 AM

Picture here (http://www.azcentral.com/12news/news/articles/0705transformer05-CP.html)

Firefighters watched in frustration Sunday as four electric transformers near Sun City burned into the night.

Officials feared that the fire could spread to a dozen or so other transformers, and they had not figured out how to extinguish the blaze late Sunday.

"We're letting it burn right now and sizing up the situation," said Jim Heger, the fire marshal in Sun City West.

"It hasn't injured anyone, and that's the way we want to keep it."

The fire started about 7 p.m. in the Westwing substation near Loop 303 and Happy Valley Road. Arizona Public Service spokesman Damon Gross said no customers had lost power, but they may have to curtail their power usage in the future.

Gross said he did not know what caused the fire.

Towering black plumes of smoke could be seen from as far as downtown Phoenix. Gross said the smoke was a byproduct of the mineral oil used to cool the transformers.

An APS environmental team, Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the state Department of Health Services were on scene late Sunday.

Heger said officials could not determine how bad the air quality was because the monitoring devices were tied up in Arizona wild- fires.

At least 50 vehicles stopped near the substation to watch the two 500,000-volt transformers burn as orange and yellow flames licked the huge metal towers.

Nine fire units responded to the scene, including a hazardous materials crew from the Glendale Fire Department.

Gross said while the fire was unfortunate, the timing of the incident worked in customers' favor.

"The demand for energy is less on a Sunday night than during work days," he said. "People don't use as much air-conditioning at night than during the day. So if these transformers had to be down, this was definitely the best time for it to happen."

[Dalmaney]

One of my high-school classmates mom's met the Boy last week at his job at camp. I love the smalltown grapevine.

It's my day off.

I'm going for a run. Really. Soon. I will get off this chair and get my butt in gear.

Yes...he was definately my vampire. I'm feeling better today, though. It was 4'th of July memories that brought it all back to me last night.

Oh, and guess what? Today is my dog's 4'th birthday! I'll have to tell him what you told your dog. I'm sure he'll believe me! :lol:

[Curlita]

Have you ever posted pictures of your pup here, Lilac?

I am procrastinating with my packing and cleaning.... I should not be. I only have four weekend days before we start showing the house.

I will not allow myself to come back here until I have crossed at least one item off my list.

[siafu]

i'm all pissed off about things that are not improved with my being pissed off.

one is that my nifty new tank top is too huge. and i did not pick it out because if i had and i knew that HUGE was the only size left, i wouldn''t have bought it. see? i'm no good. all crabby.

i dreamed that there was a zombie invasion, and i was having trouble but killing them ok. then one of the zombies injected me with zombie germs in a zombie shot. but even though i was turning, a little, i was still killing zombies.

[gwensmom]

Gwen kept me up all night! I slept this morning but woke up with a killer headache and shoulder tension. It's under control now after a hot shower, a shoulder massage by Gwensdad and copious amounts of caffeine.

I found out I totally forgot to go to a Fourth of July party we were invited to! I feel awful because the host is a very nice person and there were some other fun people there. It's not like we get invited a lot of places either!

Tonight when my eBay auctions end I will make at least $14.99 on old cross stitch patterns. Yay- extra money for stamps! eBay is a good way to clean the junk out of your house and fund your Nervous habit at the same time.

Those zombies don't stand a chance against our Theresa!

[Curlita]

Theresa, do you thinking washing in hot and drying with help? THe tank top, that is, not you. You are fine your current size.

I'm trying to find paperwork so we can go sign our loan papers tomorrow. Wouldn't you know it, my paperwork is the stuff I can't find! I'm supposed to be the organized one!

I'm just getting angrier and angrier at my m-i-law as the day goes on. :angry: Somehow telling myself that stress is not good for the baby doesn't seem to help.

[Dalmaney]

I am doing my laundry.

I will make rhubarb cake after Pete buys the groceries.

I might just take another nap later on... I have nothing better to do, and sleep is my friend.

[gwensmom]

I can't swallow huge pills, so my mother brought me some liquid vitamins. Gwensdad said it smells like "the stuff we used to give the cows". LOL!

My MIL just sent over a yummy chocolate cake.

I am not happy that there is no mail today :'(

[kamoke]

ugh, apparently I'm starting to dream about work now..

I walked around for about 5 hours today.. it was so nice out!

Im making macaronie! yum

[Cuilanië]

:( Aww Theresa, sorry you're in such a mood...

I went to the first of a two-week-long series of conferences. Today was photojournalism, it was refreshing but subtly disappointing...

My roommate's been listening to the same Madonna album on random/repeat since I got back. Yesterday it was Keren Ann. It's loud enough that I can't play my own CDs.

I'm a bit sleepy, but I'm also in a mood for a drink. Hmm.

[Curlita]

I would like to trade my MIL for Sarah's.

It's almost time ot get in the shower to get ready for our meeting and I still haven't been able to cross one single item off my list. I've just made incremental progress on all of them.

I am thawing out a chocolate-dipped chocolate chip cookie to eat on the sly before Jonny gets home.

[siafu]

thanks, Eve. i am feeling better by bits.

i would dry my tank top but we don't have a dryer.

some stuff has improved slightly.

tomorrow is my big meeting at the firm.

[Larrissa]

i should explain.

i was being drove home the 100 miles by my sister asnd shes trying to make partying plans for the evening on the phone and we decide i should go too

so i went, and drank alot.

and the computer had an always on broadband connection and a couple times i went over to say hello to all of you.

i slept for an hour while IN a tree. five feet from the ground. asleep.

my sister knows some cool people.

the host dudes name was Moe, hes 22

i *gasp* danced with this beeeeautiful woman

i was social and friendly and when we were leaving, at 3 in the morning, moe all asked for a hug. he was so great.

i ramble dont i?

it was super fun.

[zanna]

watching 'friends'.

about to eat ice cream.

really a pathetic sight.

[Larrissa]

i woke up this morning at my sisters, and hse doesnt have the internet :blink: i had withdrawls

ummm, i ate a giant chipotle burrito

the aforementioned sister is the older one - 21 years old

[bluecrayon]

If you have ice cream I want to come over and be pathetic with you!

I think I will finally catch up on my sleep tomorrow! I can sleep while Gwen is in school and then my mom is coming over in the afternoon so I can sleep some more or get some things done.

I went back to my ballet class after not having been there for 2 weeks. It felt like I had never been to class in my life!

[Lilac]

I crashed my bike on the road and almost got hit by a car in the process.

Stupid me.

too reckless...

i dreamed that there was a zombie invasion, and i was having trouble but killing them ok. then one of the zombies injected me with zombie germs in a zombie shot. but even though i was turning, a little, i was still killing zombies.

tomorrow is my big meeting at the firm.

Rarely have I seen so good a case for dream interpretation.

The zombies are lawyers, the ones everyone loves to hate. You're one of those people who want to become lawyers but don't want to turn into 'that' kind of lawyer. The one injecting you with zombie juice is someone pulling you into a law firm where you don't run your own life, so the zombies might take you over, make you one of them. But you continue fighting the good fight.

That one's so good it might almost have been invented for a novel.

went to the beach today... wasnt' very hot out and it was cloudy.. perfect day for me.... got a pretty bad burn though.... harrison sat at the edge of the shore- bum in water- and played himself out.... :) he got a red face too... bad bad BAD mommy!!!!

gong again on the weekend- we bought the boys 'fishing nets'.... we spent a lot of the time in the water (my nephew and me, julian really just played...) trying to catch the fishes!!! ;)

no takers.... as usual.... sigh

ah well... i like junior caramels anyhow, guess i'll have to suffer and eat them... :D

[zanna]

i guess i'm heading on to bed.

i've played for about 40 minutes straight.

time for a cool-down period and a session with my pillow ..

[Lilac]

I'm off to bed, I think.

My scraped knee is burning like mad.

I hope I can sleep!

Goodnight!!!!

[moonweaver]

Everybody's gone and there's nobody to play with. :(

That's a hint that I should go to bed myself.

But I won't, probably for at least another hour.

[siafu]

stevie nicks has the most shawls of any woman under the age of 90 in the world.

lindsay buckingham is so cool.

[Cuilanië]

Here"s a hug for all those feeling blue or out of sorts... **hug**

And best of luck to siafu for the big meeting!

I do not have enough coffee for a full pot, because the last time I went to the store I had a nearly new bag. And I'm out of cereal. I'll just have to skip breakfast...

[Obsidian_Cat]

I have a weird nervous feeling in the pit of my stomache, and I can't figure out why...

Probably too much caffeine and no food.

I'm wishing my fairy god mother would pop in and clean up my office, cause I don't want to face the piles!

[siafu]

i missed my bus.

this is really serious because i have that meeting.

zoinks!

:blink: :unsure: <_<

[Larrissa]

ahhhh good morning again.

i have pictures from my weekend, the part before the alcohol

it seems to be a didnt have a speck of PMS symptoms this month and i havent a clue why

[Larrissa]

the bus! aacckk! i missed a bus and was 35 minutes late meeting my dad at the station ... he spent the time to work on his car.

i am in love with another cd, its awesome that i have so many cds that i can feel this way about

i have decided letters are unacceptable, and i have to build little books to write people in.

[bluecrayon]

siafu!!!! I'm rooting for you!

all my fingers and toes are crossed!

we just need you so much in the legal profession, I'm not even gonna imagine any other outcome than a positive one for you. ;)

[Larrissa]

i like being batman, though i feel like im cheating because i didnt make it myself

oooh i should upload ze pictures!

my feet are asleep when i wake up

[sarahkate]

~ What a crazy weekend. Full of ups :) & downs :( .

~ I watched fireworks from the hill of my old high school on Sunday. It was nice.

~ I registered for a few of my classes online for the fall semester. I got the LAST spot for Accounting I. Phew! I would have been mad if I had to wait all the way until the following semester to take it, as it would have thrown my whole schedule off.

[Larrissa]

Looks like I'm going to have to go through my 70's and 80's pics when I get home tonite.

I used to own orange bell bottoms and brown suede clogs with cork heels!

Larrissa is referring to my mental age though...

[Larrissa]

hehehe i think you rock kitty cat :yay:

anyone else know about the faeries? im trying to find a way to get to canananada :blink:

I love Halifax...

but she does

[Curlita]

I have gotten very little actual work done at work today.

I HAVE made a number of calls regarding the new house, ordered some exciting baby supplies, and contacted a doula.

I manage stress by slacking on the work I get paid to do in order to do personal things on company time. Does this make me a bad person?

BONUS: Just got an e-mail from a semi-estranged friend. Not sure if I should get back to him. Not sure our friendship is appropriate. :huh:

[Larrissa]

i have 15 minutes left out of my three hours for the day. :'(

EMPLOYMENT :angry:

actually i just need the money, you know.

i am accepting donations, my dad has paypal ... anyone anyone??

i kid, mostly.

[kittymao]

LaRRiSSa is totally throwing me off with tha Batman- I associate it with Jono, so I was so weirded out thinking Jono was being all postysaurus.

Uhm. Work sucks. Hugely. Uncool-ly. Sobbingly.

I want a tamale. and I want to swim.

[Cuilanië]

I'd just figured out where I'd seen that Batman head before too. Yeah, it's weird seeing it on Larrissa.

Wonder if siafu made it to her meeting...

I wish my hair would just grow longer and start behaving again. It's annoyingly thick and curly.

I'm tired and don't really know what my life is supposed to be doing today.

[bluecrayon]

Hmm. I must have hit that old reply button too soon because my brain is INSIDE my pocket

and now I can't call up my box to edit it

but all I wanted to say was that pockets are where all my life lives... I must have about 2 thousand words and 40 colors and a million numbers and lots of love stuff jingling around when I walk...

[Obsidian_Cat]

I always wish I had more pockets...

For some reason I've left the house today without a single pocket!

My brain is probably in a pocket at home in my closet...

[Cuilanië]

Having a soup kinda snack.

After that I'm going to take a nap and come back around midnight.

I was outside my apartment all afternoon. I need to get out more...

[Curlita]

I, too, would like more pockets.

My favorite nightgown ever was red madras plaid and had pockets.

Theresa should have reported back by now. A long interview is a good sign.

[Cuilanië]

Loud neighbour on the phone in front of open window.

Smelly grease-in-not-cleaned-oven, burning.

But the soup's good. :)

[sarahkate]

~ My mom drives me crazy. She waits until the last minute to do everything (gee, that must be where I get it from!) - she is moving to a new apartment on Saturday and just finally called TODAY about getting the utilities turned on in the new place and her old ones turned off. Oy! And we just rented a U-haul today too.

~ I could live happily ever after if I never had to type "U-haul" again. I have been emailing my bf back and forth, and talking to my mom on the phone about that blasted moving company all damn day! <_<

~ Mmm.... cranky.

[siafu]

i'm back. it took a long time mostly because i had to wait for my return ride. a long time. i don't think it's a go, but i do have evil plans to steal one of their partners.

whatever.

why do people meet with you only to tell you things they could have told you over the effing phone? see, the phone does have one good use. saving wear and tear on tires.

how come i can't call my law firm, "best ever law firm and associates"? (i think there's serious lawyerly rules against stuff like that.)

Change your name to "Best" and get a partner called "Ever" and they can't say anything about it.

I like LaRRissa's idea about writing books to people instead of letters. Here (http://www.azcentral.com/home/crafty/articles/1122craftyideas22.html) is one idea for a way to do it.

And here (http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=6883.0) is another one.

[Curlita]

I get to leave in an hour.

My garbage can is very full.

Now I want to make little booklets out of greeting cards... but wouldn't your finger/thumb get sore pushing the needle through?

Start by putting a strip of clear packing tape on the inside of the card on the fold. If you don't, the bulk of the pages might make it tear. then get a a straight pin and make the holes before you start sewing. The needle will be easy to push through.

I saw that idea on last year's "Christmas gift idea" thread.

I got a really nice postcard from Indigo today. where has she been?

[hammerquill]

That's what thimbles are for.

Making pamphlet books is so easy, and easy to do really nicely... I will have to get together better instructions to send to people sometime.

I've seen some pretty good instructions online, but they don't give you all the tricks to make them really nice.

Everyone should know this stuff.

she's back at work as of yesterday, but not lovin' it..... :( though she's still slogging along.....

[indigo]

Yeah I was away all last week (how nice was that? even WITH the horrific gall bladder attacks!).

I am back to work but it is our absolutely BUSIEST time of the year! It is so unbelievably busy. I am going out of my mind! I barely have time to check in here and see what's happening and I truly don't have time to reply to anything really. (Have I mentioned lately how much I hate my job?)

I started replying to this message at oh... 5:07 and it is now 5:55 and I am about to hit POST... do you think I can do it before the phone rings???

...no such luck... four minutes later... time to hit POST!

I just got the magazine from my college sorority and once again read about how wonderful and accomplished all the other alumnae are while I sit here changing diapers and slinging pureed food. I know this is a bad attitude but dammit, it bothers me!

Raising a kid would have to be one of the toughest things to take on!

[namelessgirl]

I am feeling happy for the first time in over six weeks.

Because of that, I don't need facts #2 and 3 :P

[velma]

I'm glad namelessgirl is feeling happy

I know what it's like to go for a long time feeling crappy

The woods behind my house are filled with fireflies

[kamoke]

Apparently I'll be watching backyard wrestling tomorrow :unsure:

Work was very funny tonight, I had a good time

I'm enjoying my time I think

[Lilac]

I told my boss today that I will be quitting in a month to start my own company. He didnt take it very well. I don't want to elaborate.

I left work at three O'clock today...in a pretty weird mood and took the sailboat out. I didnt get home till around 9.

I'm all sunburtn and feeling crappy and guilty and just strange.

[hammerquill]

I received a random act of haute cuisine from gwensmom today... ;)

I should be reading a couple of hundred pages of quotations.

But right now, I should be making dinner.

[Dalmaney]

I'm feeling very writey today, but have mostly just shuttled it into my livejournal.

My days off are over and I have to wake up tomorrow morning and "work".

I love my work... mostly. The kids are awesomes.

[kittymao]

Hey. Uhm. Hollister Rocked. Who likes bikers? I think It runs in my blood. I saw my brother there- on his gsx-r and his hotwheels helmet. Rockasaurus. I forgot to mention that my weekend was awesome. But you know how it goes, once Monday rolls around all of that exquisite time off getting sloshed and hanging out feels like it gets drained from your memory banks and flushed with the havoc you first cup of coffee wreaks upon your empty stomach.

oo ya. I'm a WRITA.

Rudy's asleep. I've been so pushy about going swimming. I'm starting to wonder if he just doesn't like the wayter, or his gut or WHAT. I WANNA SWIM! ag.

[tanagee]

What I did on my holiday (http://forums.nervousness.org/index.php?act=ST&f=15&t=10483&st=0#entry261146) Me thinks, however, that my story of our trip thru the bay area will be lost on those those who do not know the complexities of the 580/80 split :)

Neither Meika or my bestest friend were the winning bidders on my sock guy.

I did something unknown to my thumb and it hurts really really bad.

went geocaching today.

came home with a nice yucky tick.

i guess its about that time for me to say "CHEERIO LADS!"

I am not addicted to chain games.

Sometimes a laugh is a random fact.

I was 24 before I saw a firefly. At first I was baffled, I remember them being in story books when I was a child, but I never realized they were REAL. Then I was amazed, intrigued, and otherwise enthralled.

I had something interesting to post, but got distracted by my memories of fireflies.

hmph

[nymphette]

i've never and probably will never see a firefly.... i am pretty sure that they couldn't thrive in saskatchewan....

i do, however, have millions of beetles, maplebugs, grasshoppers, and our provincial bird, the mosquito, to look at daily... <_<

how can cindy stand the spiders and scorpions??????? :o

[nymphette]

i just posted in 3RF... and it isn't showing up....

the post isn't, that is... it says i have the last post....

i guess i am getting the same problem everyone else has had lately then???

[Curlita]

Robyn, you are not alone with the posting quirk. Don't know what's up, but it's not you.

I miss fireflies! We don't have them on this coast.

I miss the songs of the cicadas, too.

[Sirius]

Oh, yeah, my something interesting.....


There was a SHOVEL in my mailbox today.

A shovel. Sure, it was a yellow "beach" shovel, but a shovel in the mailbox still seems ominous.

Thanks for freaking out the postal carrier Dunglas! :rolleyes: :D

I was up phone dancing til 330am this morning and up at 8am

I guess I'm tired! :D

sliding in my pink feet down the stairs to bed and dreams.

wishing everyone well, and all the babies to come sweet moments you will recognize later in your life... ;)

[Cuilanië]

I can easily imagine the look on the postal workers' faces if they ever had to deal with naked mail... :rolleyes:

They'd probably claim some kind of psychological shock and go on medical leave for two weeks.

OK, I'm probably exaggerating. One week. :evil:

[Cuilanië]

I'm sort of awake now. I had breakfast. The next step is coffee.

It's raining hard outside, but it's a cold rain again. I miss warm summer rains. And real thunderstorms.

It was my best friend's birthday yesterday, and we talked on the phone for a good two hours.

[trinitypowers]

1. I have five tattoos.
2. They consist of two small dragons, a tribal art on my ankle, a small moon & stars on my foot above my pinky-toe, and the kanji symbol for "Truth" on the back of my neck.
3. It's amazing how many people pre-judge you when you have tattoos, especially on the back of your neck. They form opinions about me from my tattoos before they even get to know me! I tell them that my tattoos are like my battle scars in life, but they don't encompass all of who I am. I'm me.

[Larrissa]

the time is currently 5:45 am

smell of cat doodie woke me, sometimes he doesnt cover his poo

i think i was on the phone for over two hours, but i didnt count

[Obsidian_Cat]

It's 8:55 am, and I haven't had my cup of tea yet...

My camera is never in the right place at the right time.

I got cool art in the mail yesterday - yippee!!

[Obsidian_Cat]

I have to say I really like the name "Trinity Powers," but I keep having weird flashes of Mike Meyers as Neo...

I can't seem to stop giggling this morning!

I really need to go get a cup of chai... now.

[Lilac]

I woke up this morning with a cankor sore from being nervous about putting in my month's notice yesterday. I really thought that when I came in the office today, I'd have a pink slip sitting on my desk. This company doesnt take kindly to "deserters."

However, I am in shock now. I just got back from a meeting with my boss and my boss's boss...and am just speechless because not only did they not fire me, they offered me a pretty substantial raise and the title of senoir geo environmental engineer.

I don't know what to do. I have to let this all sink in.

[kamoke]

whilst in bed, I was thinking that if someone stole my art, I would be pretty pleased. in grade nine someone stole my stain glass project.. I didn't really mind.

I just woke up, and I tend to babble a lot anyway, so it's even worse right now

I have emmense energy to finish my room project, so Im off to do that

goodmorning yall

[Curlita]

Wow, Lilac, what a compliment! At least now you know how valuable you are to them!

We spent 3.5 hours at the inspection of our new house last night. We keep going to these realtor meetings and loan officer meetings and I expect them to take maybe an hour, and next thing you know we are eating dinner at 9 PM and the dog is looking accusingly at us because he didn't get a walk again.

Time to hit the floor running. Hope everyone has a good day!

[Sirius]

AH, Curilta, the joys of buying a home. It's great that you got a home inspector though, a lot of people skip that crucial step. Especially if they are buying a new home (by new I mean, you get to see the dirt and then watch it go up from scratch)...and with ours, when the builder was done, we discovered via home inspector that ducts in the attic were not attached, their were spaces on the rough with no roofing material or tiles, and more.

Has anyone heard how Siafu's meeting went yesterday?

TrinityPowers -- the tattoo image is an interesting thing. I've had my one tattoo for 8 years now, and it amazing how shocked people are to discover I have a tattoo, because I am "not the type" something I have never fully comprehended. Yet, when I am trying to explain to people who drastically different my brother and I am, and I cannot articulate it clearly, I give up and say, he has a tattoo that covers his entire right arm and across his neck. (technically i suppose it is several tattoos with a Las Vegas theme, but he had it all done at once and there isn't any blank space, so I call it one huge tattoo).

I remember being offered to match the offer of a new employer once when I gave my notice at a job, but the biggest "compliment" I ever received was when I told an employer I was quitting, he softly said "no" and then started beating his head on his desk. I set there for a full minute before I had to walk out, I was completely baffled as to how to respond to that.

I will be going elsewhere soon.

Have a two mile long to-do list.

[Lilac]

Okay, I need to get going now.

goodbye

have fun

[namelessgirl]

sleeping in is nice!!!

i don't want to write my philosophy paper today :'(

also, the cats have fleas so i get to scrub the house from top to bottom.... not fun.

[Larrissa]

assboy has loud music playing

its hard to think when music i dont like is on

i am so damn picky

[Larrissa]

today, its a day, a day i dont have planned, i never have my days planned.

the dog smells so bad, really. i would take her to the vet were it up to me, this smell. bleh.

11:13 am, i should check my parental controls to save some time for mr. pissy.

~ My co-workers are annoying. Apparently one of them is so impatient that the SECOND after the microwave beeps to signal that someone's food is done they take that person's (not their own) food out of the microwave and place it on top of the microwave so they can cook their own rather than waiting a half of a minute for said person to come retrieve their food. <_<

~ Girl-who-loves-sharks kitty, Miss Marley, passed away. I feel very said for her and her kitty. :'(

~ I feel bad grumbling about my co-workers/food in one fact and then mentioning something much more real and much more sad in the next. I don't want to make it appear as if fact #2 is less important to me than fact #1 because, in fact, it's quite the opposite.

[Obsidian_Cat]

Instead of fighting over the microwave today, we went out for afternoon tea.

We didn't invite the rest of our co-workers along, they wouldn't appreciate it.

I love lemon curd... even though it's sooooo bad for you.

[Skilyne]

Hello Everyone!!! I miss you guys!!!

I am at an internet cafe here in Times Square to check my e-mail and I thought I'd come on here to say hello to everyone.

I am having a BLAST...be back Sunday!!!

[bluecrayon]

SKILYNE!!!! Hi, you!!!

I miss you, too.

I hope everything is wonderful! :)

[Skilyne]

I went to the fireworks on the 4th here in NYC...oh my gosh!!! That was really a neat experience. I have never been to anything like that before. It was mad crowded, but everyone was really nice about things...and for the most part there were no problems.

I am looking for jobs and apartments...I really want to move here and I am interested in seeing what is around.

Yesterday, I took the Q to Coney Island and spent some time at the NY Aquarium and then went down to the beach. That was a good time. I have such a hard time getting any color at all, but I have turned a nice golden brown. :)

[namelessgirl]

I love giving people random presents.

I think the best present for me right now would be a Maid Service.

Too much to do, not enough energy.

[gwensmom]

Oh poor GWLS! :'( I am so sorry to hear that!

Oooooooh Lilac! You rock and they had to admit it! Congratulations on such a major ego boost. It must have been the teeth......

I found out today that I am getting a better-than-average raise for the new fiscal year. More money = more mail!

[kittymao]

Things are tough all over, eh?

Hm. Poor SharkyGirl. She must be miserable. I should send her something.
I shouldIshould.

Uhm. I need to make some books and find a johnny cash picture and clean the bathroom and do laundry and wait fer tha cableguy. For not having much of a job, I'm pretty busy.

[bluecrayon]

Larrissa and Thunderstorms' avatars kind of slide together in my vision.

Hugs to sharkygirl.

It's 130pm here, I wonder if it's time to get dressed????

I have to say I really like the name "Trinity Powers," but I keep having weird flashes of Mike Meyers as Neo...

Now that's funny! You made me laugh out loud with that one, lol.

Believe it or not, Trinity Powers is my real name.

That being said, I just HAD to order checks from my bank that resemble the "Austin Powers" theme, complete with peace symbols and all!

[indigo]

I miss out on so much not having a computer at home. I come here and have like ten pages of catching up to do! :)

I have not yet received anything in the mail from any of the LMAO's I have joined. I am bummed about it, and am starting to wonder if I somehow screwed up my address.

I also have not received anything that was to be forwarded to me for me to work on and then send back. And apparently one person sent stuff out to me twice!!! What the heck is up with that???

:unsure: :blink:

[zanna]

posting on the 999th page.

yeh.

um ..i'm really bored. *whistles*

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i cannot find my eyelets. i had them the other week. and now, they're gone.

2 i need them. now.

3 oh where or where the hell are they.

[tanagee]

I'm hungry...but am too tired and uninspired to eat.

My butt is numb from this stupid $20 Ikea desk chair.

I have a headache...maybe if I satisfy fact #1 it will go away?!?

[thunderstorm_19]

1 they. were. right. under. my. freaking. nose. hiding under some papers.

2 i made a mess looking for them.

3 i'm an obsessive compulsive perfectionist nutcase.

[uzumaki]

^ Don't you hate that, when things just randomly decide to go hide from you like that? That happened me today, I "lost" a black felt pen I was using for a project and went on this whole quest over the entire house looking for it, but alas, I found it under a mass of cuttings right where I had started. Ahhh.

Five minutes ago I found a huge toad sitting in a bucket of water out in my backyard.

Zucchini muffins for dinner! Mmm.

[Curlita]

I am verrrrrry sleeeeepy.

I'm wondering when we will hit page 1,000.

The litterbox in here needs to be cleaned in a big way.

[velma]

I love thunderstorms

I have way too much crafting crap

I'm an Air Force brat

[zanna]

will i be on page 999 or page 1000 ??

the mystery will soon be solved as soon as i hit 'add reply'.

dum dum dum ......

:blink: :unsure: :wacko: :( :o ;) :P :huh: :blush: :eek: :yay: :peace: :crossed:


:rolleyes:

[am i bored or what!]

[tanagee]

My Hubby took Megan to the public pool where they will not let her use her water wings...I wonder how she will take it?

I would have gone with them; both to take pictures of my little daredevil and to see how she does, but I've got taters in the oven for dinner.

I am sure nothing would happen while I was out, as I have put the thanksgiving turkey in the oven and then gone to breakfast, but there is something about leaving the oven on while you're gone that is unsettling.

OOOOH I am the first post on page 1000 :yay:

[tanagee]

I have just experienced the disappearing post phenomenon.

I wonder if it will happen again...

watch and see...

[Obsidian_Cat]

I may have experienced the disappearing post phenomenon, but sometimes I forget if I actually posted what I thought I was going to post, so I'm not sure...

I can't believe I'm watching "Die Hard" again.

I should go to bed, it's been a loooooong day.

[Larrissa]

sigh

hmmm

what??

[Obsidian_Cat]

Larrissa is zoning out....

I wish I had a really cool real name like Trinity Powers...

I think I'll change my name to "Esther"

[Larrissa]

zoning out, damn i wish

i had a day of :blink: wondering wtf??

i suppose the mood now could be called zoned out

[Obsidian_Cat]

I'm voting for zoning out.

If I had a lime I'd break out the Tanqueray....

I suppose a more productive solution would be to do some art. Hmmm... yeah, that' not happening.

[Larrissa]

stupid art, eating hours of my day and taking away the depression. its all the fault of the art.

i have spent all day in the pursuit of excellence and purpose

this post isnt sarcastic. not. at. all.

[zanna]

i think my friend and i are about to go to wal-mart.

you know, up until today i was living under the false assumption that wal-mart was spelled with two l's.

it's like my world is turned up-side down!

[gwensmom]

yay I get to post on page 1000 too!

I'm going to Baskin Robbins for dinner

I saw a totally beautiful knit and felted purse online today and if I want to make one I have to learn a very difficult-looking technique called entrelac. Eek!

[zanna]

and that's pretty sad since my dad even works there.

oh well, we're trying to pass some time so we'll go to the only place in my town that is active after 10pm.

wal-mart is the hangout for teenagers here in warner robins, espically around 12-3am. :)

[Obsidian_Cat]

Mmmmm... ice cream <drool>

Ok, there's frozen fat free yogurt in the fridge.

Bleh, not nearly as interesting.

[Sirius]

1000 pages. whew. that's a lot of rambling.

i made ATCs with our kids craft lass this afternoon. now i have atcs in my collection that have been made by wee little people.

i'm happy.

[trinitypowers]

yummmmmmm, baskin robbins.....

I have the envelope and the ATC's sitting in front of me, and I'm just too darn lazy to put the ATC's in the envelope.

Oh gosh, then I'll actually have to put an address on it, too!!! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Larrissa]

goodnight

bye

see ya
