how do you spell it?! I've been living a lie?!

I have a half sister somewhere, but I've never met her.. i think she's my sisters age

It isn't actually that hard to pitch a tent in the dark

[kamoke]

my Internet was down all yesterday, just adding to the horrible mood I fell into

now I've got school in a half an hour and I don't think this would be acceptable clothing ;)

so whats the news around here today?!

[artymac]

Working for a living is getting in the way of my art.

So many projects, so little time...

Is it Friday yet?

[kamoke]

shoot! no, it's wednesday, and there was a newspaper meeting at lunch. But i don't have school in the morning

uh oh, 20 minutes

i have to at least eat something

showers are for showoffs :lol:

[stale_laughter]

i'm playing hookie from school today...

i really shouldn't let my laundry pile up like i do

i'm hosting my first lmao, but no one's signed up yet :mellow:

[Larrissa]

morning morning, how i love thee morning

i slept like a sunwarmed rock despite my addiction

i should get away from this MACHINE and get something REAL done

I spelt it touque.

Which is right? I can't remember.

And I'm not mysterious..... unless someone has some sort of unexplained canadian post-marked mail, in which case. I could be mysterious.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

Here's that monkey tattoo I kept bragging about.

It's not DONE but it's still bloody cool.

Jaime this pic's for YOU!

[kittymao]

das' a crazy looken munky.

My boyfriend called in sick today just to hang out with me, who didn't have to go to work. He's still asleep.

I too wiggle my foot when I'm ready for bed. it's more of a slow wobble, however- my feet are always cold and they need to be warm for me to sleep.

[Skilyne]

My feet are always cold too. Well actually, my whole body is cold a good portion of the time. I get cold so easily and it is hard to warm up.

I have to go to work tommorow. Despite feeling like absolute crap right now, I DO miss being there in a way.

Probably because I like the human contact with those guys...as opposed to laying here completely alone.

[Cuilanië]

Now that home is on a plane to California, I feel like a tourist in this city again.

My stuff is leaving a week before I do.

I'm wondering if I could ship my computer... probably not a good idea, but still. :rolleyes:

[Larrissa]

oh my :yay: shes moving and somehow i find that super!

i made spaghetti for breakfast

mustnt forget to register to vote, mustnt forget, i should go do that now

[kamoke]

I got kicked out of class. I'd just like to note that nobody should ever get kicked out of thisenglish class for reasons I haveyet to state.

oh well, it's funny and I'm hungry

so theres this guy in my art class that I sit with. Anyway, he will write a book from prison in 15 years writting a book on how he killed a 100 people. ANd he was talking about shooting up the school and stuff. He's really weird, but he's smart and school is boring, and he's name is Winston. He's pretty nice though

[Cuilanië]

Yes, well. It's not to where I'd prefer to be moving, but it's a step in the right direction.

Montréal, here I come.

I think the next six weeks are going to be just insane.

[Larrissa]

damn! i thought it was to where that dude is :lol:

must get up must get away from computer must get things done must must

two weeks, golly golly. thats not very long. my boss is going to very disappointed, i have to decide what to tell her. im certainly not going to say "yeah, i only got this job to save up money to move away, sorry"

[Skilyne]

I'm feeling so sad for some reason...like right on the verge of crying, but not actually there yet. Just...so...sad.

It almost feels like the kind of sadness that accompanies a loss...or old memories of something you miss.

I keep trying to get my mind on something else...anything else that might make me happier. But I can't...I just feel alone and sad.

[kamoke]

Try my laughter therapy, it works like a charm

And I'll laugh at the lack speed mail has

Theresa has such a huge crush on me

[Christine_0701]

hi tom! :wave:

haven't seen you in a loong while

I really need to flesh out my story some more :( I hate doing that lol

[Larrissa]

i like me for my stupidity

what i get in the mail is 75% of the time permanently connected to the person i got it from. not literally, ya jerk.

i wish i knew what was up, but i dont. and it blows!

[nymphette]

hurrah for eve, moving back over here!!! :D

last i had heard, eve had no shower because it was being worked on!!!

i hate being out of the loop!!!

[nymphette]

i dont' think i've heard of reed referred to as 'that dude' before!!! :D

has he been around here lately??? i haven't seen any hammerquill posts for a while... not that i am here much... or often....

and did i see christine waving to tom????? :o

[Larrissa]

the dude hasnt been around lately ... :mellow:

im here too often ... :mellow:

people shouldnt have to work ... :mellow:

[Larrissa]

actually despite those smilies, im doing fine :lol:

i need a middle fact still

assboy: no no no. not a chance im lending you my CD player. do not ask again. thanks. :)

[Death_Or_Aldona]

there are kitties here :) not all...but some of them

it's almost feeling like a home

there's too much to do today and i want no part of it...but i'm not stressed...it feels odd not to be stressed...

[nymphette]

i am craving peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches!!!!

i am eating mango/peach applesauce... much better for me i guess....

and i am dying for a glass of water, but we ran out and chris has to bring some home tonight!!!! i will NOT drink the tap water in this town!!!! :huh:

[Larrissa]

im invisble

and going to get food

see you later!

[siafu]

volunteering was so boring todayZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZ

i need to go eat enchiladas

and put something in the crock pot

[Skilyne]

I'm still feeling so sad.

I still feel sick.

I suspect the 2 might be related in some way, but I also suspect my saddness has other causes as well.

[Skilyne]

I know I'm complaining...sorry.

I'll post something good...um...my brother is coming home Saturday.

I am the one he asked to pick him up from the airport.

[Insomniac_Lullabye]

Nymphette's craving kinda put me off my food :P

I had to train 2 new people today.

I am lighting a candle for skilyne and sending happy thoughts. .... the ones I can spare. :)

[kamoke]

I think I bought a magazine about religion, but I haven't actually read much of it yet, maybe because I know what it's trying to do.. Nice photos though

I don't understand why it costs so much to fax things :(

There needs to be a copy shop here, where prices would be low low low

[kamoke]

I need to get to Halifax, and get into school.. or get out of here at least.
I mean, it shocked me today when this kid told me he didn't do art outside of class.

And mom is making me realize how ugly old age actually is.. talking about this and that

..It must be funny for you older people to read what us younger ones write. I'm guessing you probably had some of the same feelings, and I guess it's just a part of growing up.. It just seems so weird

[Lilac]

I'm in a strange, brooding/bad/sad/pissy mood tonight...have been all day. Related to my job, of course, but flowing into all other aspects of my life like a dark poisonous brew.

It's actually quite intriging.

And I'm listening to the Smiths to intensify it.

[Lilac]

Plus, I havent eaten all day...I think I'm going slightly wacko...

[hammerquill]

Inevitably someday the word will get about that Paris is quite a romantic place to be with your beloved.

I won't tell anyone, though, because then the place would be crowded with tourists.

No one seems to have cleaned my apartment while I was gone.

[Skilyne]

I am going back to work tommorow...both feeling good and bad about that.

I'm still feeling sad though...and just strange in general.

I need to make some signs to hang up for my brother's homecoming.

[Lilac]

Hi Gwensmom!!!!

Always happy to see Sarah!

Even if she only pops in and out! :D

[gwensmom]

Hey lilac :wave:

Gwen is really sick. She has bronchitis and fever. She will have to stay home from school tomorrow and maybe Friday.

Today in the doctors office I thought I was going to lose it. Gwen was crying and they thought she was having a reaction to a shot. They came running in with an oxygen tank. She was ok, just feeling like shit.

This happened after I went to pick her up at school and thought that a house fire near the school was really the school on fire!

Too many heart attacks in one day is not a good thing. Hoping that tomorrow is much much better. :crossed:

[Lilac]

Here's hoping Gwensom has an awesome day tomorrow to make up for today's crappy one.

And hoping that little Gwen is feeling better, poor dear.

Hang in there, Sarah! (((hugs)))

[Skilyne]

MANY MANY hugs to Sarah and Gwen!!!

I am heading to bed now.

My keyboard is acting up on this site again...sticking and not registering certain letters. But it only happens on this site...

[Lilac]

I'm heading to bed too.

goodnight.

I'm tiredddddddddddddddd....very very tired...

[kamoke]

oh how I enjoy thy acrylics

haha nine lives couldn't live without me! no one can live with the great one! :evil:

Come on latenight! :canada:

[Lilac]

Awww, Hammerquill...those pictures are gorgeous, and at the same time express a kind of lonliness and yearning that I'm sure you're feeling right now. I hope you and Eve can be together again very soon.

Me, I'm working from home today, thankfully. It's 6:30 am...I've already been out to the barn and put the horses out. It's definately autumn here in Western PA. It's chilly, damp and there is a thin fog covering the pasture. I could see the horses' breath , and my own, for that matter.

My son will get to sleep in till 7:30 this morning because I don't have to rush off to work, which is nice.

Anyhow, I'm going to go and try to get this report written up and maybe have some free time for myself this afternoon while he's still in school,

[oreogrl1]

I wish I got to sleep in untill 7:30
Lilac, your son is going to die when he starts high school.
I spent the first 2 years barely staying awake.

[summerthyme]

* I'm in Advanced Business Studies (independent computer study, basically) at my high school

* I'm Senior Editor of our newspaper

* I'm horrible at printing photographs

[kamoke]

Practice makes perfect my friend

I get to sleep in every day, thank goodness too!

I lost my schedual so I have no idea what classes I have this afternoon, but god help me if I have that damn english class..

[siafu]

i

am

exhausted

[Larrissa]

i am awake

and my eyes are teary because a sneeze wont happen

the physical side effects of life bother me

[Cuilanië]

Why is Theresa exhausted, I wonder...

And why am I such a scatterbrain?

I had to sharpen my sketching pencil twice. The first time, the lead broke off just as I was finished sharpening it.

[Larrissa]

i may have lost a postcard for that jam :mellow:

its pouring rain outside

9:30 AM and dark

[Christine_0701]

lol eve! I have this one pencil that it's hopeless to sharpen b/c the lead is always breaking off!!!

I found a nifty alternative: sand paper

Same thing we did in drafting class :P

[siafu]

I VOLUNTEER in the mornings

and work for minimum wage in the afternoons

boy am i getting smart about immigration. that's an up side.

:hug: :wave: for E

[Cuilanië]

Hello, T! :wave: I just thought it was pretty early in your day to be exhausted... :hug:

I'm cleaning up my Yahoo! inbox, prior to having to use it once more as my main email.

I've also been changing my password all over. To one both security-correct and rememberable by me, which isn't all that obvious an endeavour...

[Christine_0701]

I have multiple e-mail accounts

and I used to have multiple passwords but now they're all the same

and if I happened to suffer from amnesia, my password is on my person at all times :P

[hammerquill]

I was going to wave to Robyn on my flight, but on my flight out I was too far South, and on my return too far North.

Both times I was too far East to wave to Curlita or to siafu, and too far West to wave to FearfulPenguin - where's she got to, I wonder?

I had a very smooth flight; I did knotwork, and even inked it. My new avatar was made over northern Saskatchewan and Alberta. I made a bigger piece of round knotwork, too, which took me from Edmonton to something like the Napa Valley.

[Cuilanië]

It's got steadily colder over the past few weeks. Last night was cold enough in my room to turn the heater on.

So's tonight, but I prefer wearing a sweater.

I like that new avatar. :wub:

[Cuilanië]

Good god, when did it start getting so dark at seven thirty?

I'm going to eat leftovers tonight. Gotta start reheating them...

Liquorice Altoids. mm.

[kamoke]

I ordered shoes about 2 months ago and I still haven't received them yet ;)

I'm thinking I should get outside today, other then for school

Winston actually said the words "I'll shoot you" :blink:

Hi summerthyme :wave: . I was editor of my high school paper too. But it was forever ago when we didn't have pc's and did it all on paper!

Gwen is much much better today. Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

A dog came up to my house and is now in my back yard. I did not want to find a dog because I don't want anything else to take care of!! She's a cutie, though. Blue-eyed husky.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

is it wrong to wake up at 2pm?

do the neighbors have to be hammering things right now?

today is the big unpacking day...yeah...i'll be starting on that right away...

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I thought that I could maybe move in to the new place today. No such luck. Tomorrow is it. October 1st 2204 MOVING MOVING MOVING!!!!
I be so happy.

JAIME go look at that monkey tattoo I posted a few pages back... you'll be so happily jealous. (jaime understands my joy, she too was kinda living a hobo life and now it's over weeeeeee!!!! - I wanna be seeing you in spring!)

Ze cats are not so happy. They are being kept inside today, there is no way I am going to be rounding them up from the great outdoors first thing tomorrow morning then shoving them in to carriers and drugging them. 1/4 tab of gravol on hour beofre departure each is supposed to be enough to make them sleep for the ride (i hope i hope i hope!!!) Which means I need ONE GRAVOL pill - my mother hasn't picked this up for me, I don't think she understands the consquences of fully alert cats on a 2 1/2 hour car ride.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

This chair I'm sitting in stinks like a smoker.... i know my mom is reponsible, but if I say - mom listen we all know you smoke, you aren't fooling anyone and you haven't been fooling anyone for years she'd deny it "I don't know what you are talking about". I don't know HOW to talk to this woman.

She goes to the "grocery store" several times a night and takes forever, come back stinking like cigarettes, I swear she must smoke like 7 smokes at a time SMOKE ON THE PORCH LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!!!! NO ONE CARES!!!!

It is NOT WRONG to wake up at 2pm.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

curses! still trying to find that tattoo pic...i've been wanting to see it for so long...i'll find it...

spring is the time for canadian travels... it has been decided...so it shall be...now and forever!

not that i usually drink coffee, but man it sounds good so i'm gonna have some...i'll be bouncing off the walls soon, i'm sure....now where's that darn tattoo....

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i got a coupon from a pet store in the mail today...buy one fish get one free....do i need fish?

i'm being pressured into making a plan for the day

3rd facts are for people with complete thoughts....

[velma]

I'm thinking it's time to get another pet rat. Eric isn't as enthused about it, but he'll come round.

It was so freakin cold in here this morning I had to light a fire.

I can't focus on anything today; I keep fidgeting & going from one room to the next...

[Skilyne]

I had an ok day at work today...but I'm still feeling kinda sad.

My throat is KILLING ME!!! I do not like this...

I feel like going shopping, but have nothing I need to buy.

[nymphette]

harrison's first therapy since his tx, with his regular therapist anyhow.... she's rather impressed... :D

the social worker at the rehab centre came by to say 'hi' and spread the word that we were there- so everyone had to pop by and see harrison... :P

his dietician had a lot of info for me.... :( the cases of his formula are even more than i heard they were- he'll need about 6-7 cases a month, and each case costs ..

.. get ready ..

.. $137.50!!!!!!!!!

at a grand total of 800+ a month- almost $1000!!!!!!

needless to say, i will be keeping on with the homemade formula........ even though she doesnt' 'approve' of homemade formula.... <sigh> even if we qualify for a co-pay (which i didn't know they could do with this, but luckily they can...) we still ahve to pay $100...........

she suggested that we 'try' the other formula again to see if he 'really' has a milk allergy, or if it was just a protein processing problem, due to his body and post tx health.... well, he had a can of the other stuff ($30 a case... ) for his 1 pm feed... and 3/4 of the way through, he started to scratch his head... i turned him off immediately, and gave him a dose of reactine syrup... but it was too late.... :( he broke out full force in hives and threw up basically all the feed... he is just NOW settling down.......... good to knwo i guess......... :unsure:

that was more htan 3 facts.. and they weren't very random...... <_<

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

my sister has a fish named howie, he's a beta that doesn't do very much at all.

nymphette!! AHHH! That is a lot of money, if I had any at all I would help but $1000 is pretty well my monthly income. I can't imagine how to deal with such high costs, and just for formula! eek!

WOOOO!!!! SPRING!! We be looking so forward to spring!

[nymphette]

nah, we dont' need help with the formula.... i REFUSE to pay that much per month for something he wont' even TASTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIKES!!! there is no way i will spend that kind of money on his formula when i can improvise and mke it...

his dietician doesn't like people making it because of chance of bacterial growth... i told her i made ALL my baby food with julian and you just have ot use common sense and make sure things are at lest CLEAN if not sterile..... duh.... :wacko: there's no way i'll pay for that stuff like that!!!!

so if i make it all, IF he's on a night feed (well, he still is several times a week... i still have to get a good schedule for fees going..) THEN i use the formula- i dont' want 'food' hanging in a pump set all night, becuse then there IS a chance of food poisoning.... so i use the formula over night....

yup... can you believe the price??? i am STILL shaking my head......

[tanagee]

I am very sad for ebandits family.

I have become the type of mom I didn't want to be...I put my old little TV and our VCR in Megans room so she can watch a movie till she falls asleep.

We have done some creative accounting to cover our health insurance checks...he wrote a check from his business account for $550.00 to put in the household account and then charged 2 of our credit cards for $250 each on his machine at the shop which will be deposited into his business account. Cheaper than a cash advance and not illegal as far as I know ;)

Not to mention the fact that if you are as scrupulous as most people usually are in the preparation of what they eat, his gastric fluids should kill whatever gets past you... :rolleyes: Specialists...

Mint and liquorice infusion. Yum. :)

Sorting five year's worth of papers and accumulated, intermingled junk sucks big time. Take it from me. :wacko:

[Cuilanië]

One of my best friends did something of the sort once... Drew a money advance from her (bank-issued) Visa card into her bank account so she could pay... wait for it... her Visa bill. :lol:

Said friend has a high rent to pay - first floor of a house, plus basement - a car to pay for, student loans she's determined to have paid off by the age of 30, and a few other home-related debts.

She says she envies me my freedom from most of that and my living abroad... But she's an engineer with a good salary, and I have no degree and no job. For now. It's all about choices and opportunities...

My, aren't we philosophical tonight. ;)

[Larrissa]

the guy i trained last night stole 10 dollars and im being blamed, which BLOWS.

PMS has taken over a couple hours of today with its deep pain for no reason

the caffiene helps :)

[gwensmom]

I am stunned by ebandit's terrible sad news.

The lost dog is now found and is no longer in my back yard. The owner was out looking and saw her through my fence. :yay:

I wish I had time to take a class. My brain is starting to atrophy.

[Larrissa]

i need jesus

or something as good

and soon

[kamoke]

I'm actually afriad that I might find jesus..

I'm going to Gio's soon to hangout with a chap and drink hot coco

Current Newfoundland time is 9:00pm

[Larrissa]

im getting a bit stressed about moving

talking to my sister in IMs

drinking hawiian punch

[oreogrl1]

I Am watching the bush vs. kerry debate.
I like Bush.
So stone me.

[Larrissa]

oh gee, i cant believe you just said that in public :lol:

today was so hard

i need something but i dont know what and i better find it before this thing inside gets big enough to where i cant handle it anymore.

:rolleyes: its so frustrating to be me.

[oreogrl1]

eh, I'm used to critism.
Thankfully I have my sarcasm to defend me.
I really could care less who people vote for, as long as they have a reason.

[Larrissa]

:blink:

:blink:

i have to learn to calm the fuck down.

[kamoke]

we threw snowballs and played hack with my sock

it was snow from the zamboni

I'm not that much of a hockey fan

[hammerquill]

My reason for voting against Bush is to make the US and the world safe for democracy.

I spent most of this evening paying bills and balancing checkbooks and the like.

I have made my last payment and will now be a lifetime member of the UC Berkeley Alumni Association - with library privileges.

[hammerquill]

Sometime soon I have to check out The Punisher (now that it's on DVD) to see our wallpiece.

We're told it's used twice - hanging in John Travolta's office, and rearranged (it's four separate sections) somewhere else.

That's about the only thing that could get me to watch the movie, but I'm still looking forward to it.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i just watched the day after tomorrow...oh man...i um...well, you know...i prolly would have wasted those 2 hours of my life anyway...

i didn't get much unpacking done at all, but i don't feel guilty about it

my deck of uno cards was packed in a box with a bunch of spilled catnip...kitties just won't leave them alone. it would be fun to try and play a game of uno just to see how hard they would make it on us :)

[siafu]

now i have an extra reason to watch punisher

i <3 the comic

the small bus semi stranded me today. made me late for work.

[siafu]

i made graffiti on a wall today

i was pissed off and had to visit snide revenge on a building

it is very small. i hope it is not the catalyst for the decline of humankind.

[gwensmom]

I can't decide whether or not Gwen should go to school today. she seems much better but is yelling. I am a nervous wreck from all the yelling so she might be safer at school!

Erica's baby is here and it's a boy!!! :yay:

It amazes me that Bush can stand there and say that he has made America safer. Does he really believe that or is he just saying it because he had to in order to be re-elected?

[Cuilanië]

Glad to know Erica's baby is safe! I needed some good news just now. :mellow:

My opinion of the French administration has just gone down several notches. Quite an exploit, I assure you.

I will just have to do without that snarky document, and that's the way it is. I REFUSE to put up with their crap and obstructionism.

[kamoke]

wow, it only took me two hours to get out of bed

I don't know if it's worth going to school or not - Ray snow will most likely kick me out of class, and economics just doesn't seem to satisfy me

yikes.. this will be my last full weekend working at wal mart

[Cuilanië]

All this has turned my incipient headache into full-blown migraine.

I think I will now do the dishes and head out.

Coffee and ice cream, I think.

[hammerquill]

I woke up even earlier this morning than yesterday.

I did wait a while before I got up.

Eventually, the same soundbites from the debate last night, repeated over and over, prompted me to remove myself from the vicinity of the clockradio.

[Larrissa]

i watched about a minute of the debate last night, it made me sick. and i still get queasy when i think about it now.

my mom told me this morning that i was to be sure i could always come back if needed. plans are made for a bigger house, an extra room will be mine.

two days off, im going to attempt to avoid that feeling tomorrow night of "damn! its over and gone already!"

[hammerquill]

I saw a great bumpersticker this morning:

Fermez la http://www.forumplanet.com/iconcommon/planetdukeforums/sets/customavatar/168170-icon.gif!

I think I saw those in '92, but that was the first one I saw this year.

Us French-speaking, latte-swilling Liberals gotta stick together.

[Christine_0701]

lol, that sticker is funny

today i go grocery shopping

only a week till thanksgiving :D

[kamoke]

I'm pretty sure I wasted about 45 minutes looking at comics.. but they were pretty funny.see (http://www.whiteninjacomics.com/)

oh man, you have to read this note we found last night. but warning, it may cause folks some disgust.see (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v178/brownley/note.jpg)

The sun is really trying to shine today, without much luck though. Those clouds are such bullies. The wind is also hanging around. It's so obvious nobody likes the wind. It's like that kid, you know. see? (http://abclocal.go.com/wls/news/strange/092404_ap_they.html)

[Larrissa]

oh my :o fried day

must do stuff

must not freak out

[Helquin]

Kamoke is so link-a-licious today! :lol: I'm especially hip to the white ninja referral -- Thanks!

Otherwise: things to make me go Hmm.... I've got suspicions about that letter!

... And They's motivation, since the announcement morphs into an ad for his latest image-making frippery. <_<

Woohoo! The debate was a hoot! :lol: Kerry easily outclassed the competition.

suspicions eh..

I've gotta get out of here, I think i'm sweaty

flood control can't control me! never!!

nevarrr

avast :lol:

[Cuilanië]

Great bumper sticker! ^_^

Got a postcard from Larrissa today. Thanks!! :)

I need all the smiles I can get today.

[Cuilanië]

The coffee was not good.

They had nothing chocolate to go with it. :o :blink::blink::blink: :o

But I have ice cream in the freezer, and a chocolate pastry from the bakery for later...

[Lilac]

I'm sincerely tired of my job.

There has to be more to life than this.

I just want to run away and live in the wild.

[Skilyne]

***Hugs for Eve***

UGH...sucky day for me today. They made me cry at work...long story.

I'm out early and trying to decide if I ought to go to the DR's for this horrid sore throat and trouble breathing.

[hammerquill]

Kamoke! Send it to Found Magazine (http://www.foundmagazine.com/)!! They'll love it (that's a fact).

My father's got their house looking very housey; the walls are mostly textured and painted.

He's digging a ditch in the back yard, but after that's done, the kitchen's the next step, because we've got a guest for Thanksgiving this year.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i'm boring today

still wearing pajamas...only been awake since 2pm...again

i don't even know anything

[zanna]

rocky horror is playing tonight at midnight ..i haven't decided if i want to go yet.

dave is on his way up here.

last night the party i was at got busted up by some ca's and they called the cops because they're was so much underage drinking. me and two other girls managed to sneak out without getting caught, but unfortunatly my roomate and her boyfriend got caught up in the crowd and got charged with being in the presence of open alcohol. they may now get kicked out of the dorms. :( they were really mad at me for seizing my opportunity and leaving, but hell, i hadn't even had anything to drink! neither had they, but the ca's said that it didn't matter as long as you were in the room, you still would get charged. that's some bogus shit.

[Cuilanië]

'Charged with being in the presence of open alcohol'??? Egad, that's ridiculous, zanna. Hope it all turns out ok for them.

And hugs to Lilac and Skilyne. I'd say go to the Dr's, Erica...

I'm going to have chicken for dinner, then make chicken broth. My roommate's at his parents' tonight, and this weekend he moves out.

[Lilac]

Thanks Eve! I hope everthing goes well for your move!

I can't even imagine a move like that! I was stressed just moving from Maine to PA....moving form continent to continent would overwhelm me!

Wondering if Eve is the Thanksgiving guest Reed was referring to in another post....

[Larrissa]

hey! i get drunk really easily and am getting more drunk as i type this/ it was an impulse decision to imbibe the sprits.

chocolate chip pankcakes ... gooooodness yummy.

i need to do at least one thing from the List today damn it. im going. again. you know i will be back.

[Larrissa]

tamara im sending your thing today, watch out.

oh my. i think i just had a moment of peace.

after multiple attempts, my third fact will be this: [ ... ]

Thank you. It's my second international move (the first one was five years ago when I moved here... ;) ), and much better organised than the first. When I do get stuff organised. :rolleyes:

I am, indeed, the Thanksgiving guest. ^_^ :wub: I already have that plane ticket. :)

Heh. I just had ice cream, and on impulse poured some Bailey's over it. I have the excuse of being stressed, though. ;) :P :lol:

[tanagee]

Tuesday, I called the DMV to find out where my Drivers License was since it had been a month since I sent in the check and it hadn't been cashed yet...

the girl said that it has been issued but I am technically driving illegally so she was sending me a temporary until the actual license arrives...

They BOTH came today :lol:

[gwensmom]

I went to the Mid-South Fair again today with two co-workers. My supervisor and I have legitimate business there. The third person came along to do "sociological research". Really we asked her because we like her.

I had bite of a fried candy bar. It wasn't as bad as it looked. But still, gross!

My brain is absolutely fried. Gwen has worn me out this week.

[tanagee]

I am doing some 'nesting' type cleaning today.

Megan is in her room watching one of the video tapes of our wedding.

Which reminds me I REALLY need to edit the 2 together on a DVD or at least 1 tape.

[Larrissa]

i am going to the DMV today despite not wanting to, blah blah register to vote at the last minute and get an ID

my shirt is positively absurd

i keep forgetting to post the pictures i took of the inside of subway, i guess now is a good time.

*aCHOO!* bless me.

i sent out the letter i wrote to you while i was in edmonton over the weekend.... <_< it's old news, but hey, it's an actual handwritten letter, so i couldnt' just throw it out becuase i packed it up in a bag and forgot to mail it!!!! :o hopefully it makes it there though- i realized when i got your package that i replaces the "8" in your address with a "5"!!!! :wacko: i can't be trusted to get ANYTHING right!!!

[nymphette]

$15 at value village today- to make both my boys into pirates for halloween!!! striped pants, a black vest, pirate hat, eyepatch, hook hand and sword for julian, and a baby costume and red bandanna for harrison.... :D i am so excited!!!

haven't decided if i am going to dress up.... i went as myself, circa 1988 for halloween last year.... :P it was fun!!!

and i made a haunted porch for handing out candy....

i love halloween!!!!! :wub:

[Lilac]

Hi Blue! I see you down there!

I have a busy weekend planned...nothing fun, just busy.

I've been so tired lately. I think I should go to the doctor to find out if something is wrong. I'm not usually like this.

Oh well....everyone have a great weekend.

I'm pretty sure mine will suck.

[Lilac]

I had a dreama bout Siafu last night!

[siafu]

i was lonely until i read these last few pages.

thanks, guys

i'm going to go eat and loaf

[oreogrl1]

:hug: lilac
I am so tired.
I have to figure out how to tell people to do something without being bossy.
Otherwise the shit is gonna hit the fan.

[Larrissa]

[Christine_0701]

That post was brought to you by Quotemaster 3000*

This is old news, but anyway, I had a great time in the shower this afternoon. There was a big dance number, load singing, splashing, and just general fun. I thought about sending invitations to the show, but realized things might be a little uncomfortable

yeah, I'm still happy with my decision.. the people at work seem so sad

other emplyees = <_< :( :angry:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i'm watching serial mom

i only get to watch it when he's not home...he hates most of the movies i like...

he wouldn't watch the breakfast club with me yesterday...what kind of person hates the breakfast club????

[kamoke]

I'd love to join a breakfast club
delicious

I really love hot dogs

It's fun being foolish, ya dig?

[hammerquill]

I keep wondering whether "kamoke" rhymes with "the bloke" or with "the hokey" (as in the hokey pokey, which is what it's all about).

I also wonder if "Helquin" is pronounced "Hell Kwinn" or if the qu is finessed.

I also wonder why Larrissa has that extra R.

[gwensmom]

:yay: Robyn's package made it to her! I originally sent it to the Ronald McDonald house about 4 days before I heard y'all were coming home.

I took an early evening nap. I hate it when I do that because I don't sleep well the rest of the night.

I think I have Gwen's sore throat :'( I am too tired to be sick as well!

I showed my mother some naked mail I have received and she thought it was hilarious.

I dreamed I went to California and went to Hammerquills parents house looking for him. I never found him but there was a great party going on.

[Helquin]

This is getting to be like reading a chat room transcript! :lol: 3 pages since I was here this afternoon!

I say "kamoke" to rhyme with "the hokey" and I thought Larrissa's extra R was some kinda nod to the name "Larry" -- but really I don't know. :huh:

[kamoke]

Crazy kids and there hokey kamoke :rolleyes:

I drew a picture when I was in the tub. it was excellent. seriously. punctuation

*big fat sighhh* :lol: I'm so happy this is my last weekend. Mark these words though, because surly money does equal into happiness, and when I'm looking for pennies in the streets, you'll surely be the first to hear my complaints :P

[kamoke]

I'd love to have my own website but that would probably take a bit of skill and a bit of money. I can invision it now... *invisions it*

I think my sister is trying to coax me into being a clown. Yes, she was telling me that this business was looking for a clown to hire.. I seriously think that would be an awesome job, only because you could seriously say you are a professional clown. But I think the job might actually suck :lol:

yeap, I'm outta here! salutations my friends! :birthday:
B)

[siafu]

just for the record: i don't like being tickled

also for the record: :yell:

:spank:

[Cuilanië]

Aww, Theresa... :hug::hug:

I need to get my behind in gear and get things done. And here I sit...

I actually managed to get myself out of bed at 9am. Amazing.

[kamoke]

ugh, 45 minutes to get out of bed. And overall, last night was one of the weirdest nights for sleeping..

I would like one motorcycle please, so I may go on many an adventure

Hi. hot dogs for breakfast - I think so!

[Cuilanië]

I'm sorting papers out of a huge suitcase.

But just now I'm taking a break to bone the chicken, start the broth I had no courage for yesterday, and check to see if I won the lottery.

Not even close... :rolleyes:

[Cuilanië]

There, now. The broth is simmering.

I have plenty of shredded chicken in the fridge now.

Guess what dinner will be? ;)

[Larrissa]

english muffins are incredibly delicious

my momma tells me she had heard of marissas and clarissas and all that shit and decided to name me a name she had previously never heard

i read the names on the credit card reciepts at work when handing them back to the person, and the last time i worked (holy god! two days off in a row is like a week!) there was a lady named larissa.

whoo. :lol:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

the landlady is coming to the house to fix the porch today

i dunno if she plans on stopping by here

i think i shall pretend to be asleep all day today....quiet as a mouse

[Larrissa]

okay okay i must get back to sleep now. its simply ANNOYING to have to run by a schedule that is neither consistent or thought up by me

i had a dream filled evening, two guest stars were ibiddyboo and meika

heard a song last night on the radio, it was william shatner and ben folds covering that common people song i wanna do what average people do it was weird and i have it stuck in my head. im thinking it was a guy with the same name and not that other guy. the dj dude seemed to find the whole thing really funny but its a college station and the djs often sound drunk or stoned or plain zoned out

[Death_Or_Aldona]

my head is blank

not exactly blank...but my thoughts are too fractured...i've got a bad case of the stares

my parents never made me take piano lessons. i wish they had...

[Larrissa]

they made me take violin lessons, i was HORRID at it but no one said so.

three of my homes when i was a child were backed by a feild connected to a school

i was a very unhappy kid

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i got alot of lectures about the proper ways in which barbie and ken should interact

it's not my fault barbie was promiscuous

parents just don't understand

[Larrissa]

:lol:

i had my ceiling in ninth grade covered in strange hanging things, alot of them decorated barbie heads.

i once had a dream this guy from school broke into my room and i stabbed him with a butterknife, he turned into a bottle of syrup.

i would get into trouble throughout school for reading untextbooks during class

[Helquin]

My first grade teacher had taught both my father & my grandfather.

School districts are tearing down a lot of those old schools now, because it's more cost-efficient to destroy the building than to pay for maintenance.

They're beautiful in a clunky kind of way. They communicate the idea "school" from a mile away, in a language of bricks & arches.

[Cuilanië]

Haha, I'm with you on the Barbie thing.

'Course, I played a lot more with my brothers' Legos and Tonkas...

I sometimes wonder what it's like to have a sister.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i used to want a sister

then i started hanging out with my cousins who were sisters

they used to get into actual fist fights, i mean black eyes and eveything...it kinda soured me on the whole idea...

I went to the same High School as my Grandma and my Mom, and chances are Megan probably will too.

I am heading to the little local shopping district for Oktoberfest. You have seen said little district in such movies as The Wedding Singer (the bar and the bakery). It has that small town feel.

[Cuilanië]

I tasted the broth, nearly inhaled a droplet from the first sip, and burned my lip on the second one.

I should go out, get a carrot and an onion, plus some other veggy-things.

This probably means a stop at the bakery, too. :P

[gwensmom]

Well $%&*@ I caught whatever Gwen had and feel pretty bad. But I had some meds left over from last time so I'm set until Mon or Tues.

The good news is that the babysitter will be here until 4 so I can rest.

The casserole of the week is Chicken Divan. I will be making the recipe x 5 tomorrow.

:'( I need on the main site! I need some addresses!

[Cuilanië]

Having spent the day sorting and cooking, I hadn't even noticed the main site bug. :P

I have a MOSQUITO in my room! I failed to slap it dead, too. grrr... :angry:

I did go to the bakery after the veggie & fruit market. sigh. :rolleyes:

[Cuilanië]

I should now go strain the broth and cook dinner.

I happen to be hungry, and actually have the energy for it, too.

I have this premonition that a pastry is about to waylay me, though... ;) :lol:

[summerthyme]

This thread is making me hungry.

I had some really good apple pie today.

My boyfriend made it, as I can't cook to save myself.

[Larrissa]

slept until one, it feels like ive had a week off.

i simply MUST communicate about that

i told my second grade teacher i wanted to be an artist when i grew up

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i have no idea what to do with myself...

maybe nap time is coming up

i just don't know...

[kamoke]

I was an amazing worker today!

So yesterday my I was onthe phone and the missis said I should start my own business, and that I would be a great boss! This is strange because I'm sure I was talking about this a couple days ago. I agree fully. She thinks a framing place would be excellent. I would agree

It's 8:00, and I'm contimplating going out into the night.
oh, and I lost my two favorite hats! I'm rotted! they were custom!
:lol:

[kamoke]

I also cleaned the bathroom last night. It was weird because I never really thought about cleaning it, I just walked in, grabbed the stuff and got right too it. Surprisingly it worked!

I can't wait for latenight feast time tonight! chicken will be delicious!

I think I'll go out, though the air may be brisk.. scarves are fun!

[Larrissa]

where the hell is everyone?

today was "super! thanks for asking!"

"i know what this song is, its the popcorn song" -- my mom

[Death_Or_Aldona]

waking up from a nap...feeling weird...dreams bad.

before i feel asleep i read 3 lil edward gorey books...they managed to slip into my dreams

now my cat is coughing up a hairball...there's nothing i can do...we have no peanut butter

[Larrissa]

hairballs? give your cat olive oil everyday and it will never happen again!

the above line is to be read as an informerrrrrtial might say it

but really, it works.

[Larrissa]

I AM SO BORED

this might be the most bored ive been in awhile

i am useless! USELESS!

[Larrissa]

my sister and i just had a pillow fight and spilled milk all over the desk

GRR... i say ... grrrrr. i will get over it

im being peer pressured to make a certain noise because sister thinks its fun.

[Larrissa]

i walked into the garage earlier and that polygon mix cd was playing and it smelled all nag champa and i so had a cryptaesia moment

someone needs to cut me AND my sister off form caffiene, seriously.

we are currently rocking out to every me and every you by placebo, just so you know.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

olive oil ya say...someone told me to use baby oil once and i had forgotten till just now

coda has too much fur...this happens often

cat cats kitty kitty

[Death_Or_Aldona]

my internet is TOO SLOW

i'm counting the days till thar be dsl

there are 6

[Larrissa]

:blink:

damn me!

my mom tells me i havent been pwned, but shes wrong

[hammerquill]

I'm on my way over to my parents' house for dinner, and to show them pictures from the trip.

But right now I'm at the studio printing out 87 pages of quotes to check; the big printer we inherited over here is better for big documents like this. Faster, but still awfully slow.

Unless it jams. Then, since it's an HP, it's absolute hell.

[Helquin]

Um, yeah, I was kinda wondering about Larrissa & the whole caffeine thing :P

Thanks to the miracle of modern science, I'm listening to some college radio station. Middlebury or Pittsburgh, I forget which.

The format seems to be unchanged since 1984.

[kamoke]

I was a ninja tonight

apparently coffee works backwards on me

i should clean, turn the heat on, and make some grub.. whilst listening to music of course

[kamoke]

"i'm gone for some popcorn now man, giant popcorn would be cool, like 3 giant puffs per bowl."

"its popping, i should go check on that, make sure
sometime the kernals dont always pop, and they pop once there in the bowl causing a shower of popcorn to jumpout of the bowl"

[siafu]

i worked today. i need a different night job.

i test drove an electric scooter this morning. i think i'm going to try to get one.

i'm reading the book, white oleander. tju...ga, tana's town is in it.

[kamoke]

you wouldn't believe how hazardously high my laundry hamper is.. honestly - chest height

but it's past 3 now, and work calls in the morning

shoot, i have to burn that CD for maria :wub:
:lol:

[tanagee]

Just wondering how Curlita is doing with the whole volcano thing along with dealing with a new baby.

Now I am gonna have to go and read White Oleander.

Just heard a really freaky noise outside...

[hammerquill]

My parents' grafted dwarf apple tree is in its crazed everything-ripening-at-once period.

Hence, there is apple pie.

They're not really the right apples for apple pie, but there are way too many falling off the tree just to eat.

[artmaker1000]

This is fun!

1. My house is a pig sty yet at work I am neat and orgainzed.

2. I love creating things.

3. Art is everywhere you just have to open your eyes to it.

[Christine_0701]

When my family had an apple tree we bought an apple-corer-slicer-peeler.....then we used to to peel/core/slice apples, and froze them in bags

then when we wanted them, we'd use them for stuff

Apple Crisp is always a yummy alternative for non-pie apples

[zanna]

i have to go finish watching 'metropolis' soon for my film class.

it's a 1927 black & white, silent movie ..loooong as anything.

then i've got to write a paper on it; i doubt i'll manage anything with content.

[Larrissa]

ummm, sorry about yesterday :o

today today i will go to work and that shall be about all

dealing with people is so complicated

[Cuilanië]

Homemade chicken soup. There are several problems with mine, but it's basically good.

Plus I'll have stuff to eat for the week, while I scramble to get my things in order.

The moving people come Thursday to pack it all, and I have to figure out what I'm keeping with me that will fit into the luggage I've chosen to travel with.

[Cuilanië]

In exactly 10 days from now, my plane will be only an hour out from Mirabel airport.

240 hours doesn't seem like a lot.

I didn't do nearly enough today, but at least the huge suitcase is empty...

[chunkymonkey]

I'm excited for all the moving nessers.

I will do some house cleaning today no matter how much I may pay for it later.

word of advice: when you go looking for something make sure you are preparred to find it.

[Cuilanië]

Cooking is a pretty good procrastination/avoidance device.

I mean, it's just me here, I could just eat ready-in-ten-minutes stuff, right?

:rolleyes:

[siafu]

well yeah, i guess you could, but chicken soup is justifiable! good food is always preferable.

i need to go make coffee.

maybe biscuits too!

[Larrissa]

im kinda glad that dint work out

it will leave more attention for other things

i learned alot about me through the process

[Cuilanië]

Well, I can't be accused of not having ingested enough liquids today.

Coffee, milk in my cereal, ginger lemonade, mint tea, soup... But only a small sip of plain water. lol

Wonder if my roommate will sleep here or at his new apartment tonight. They seem to have made a lot of progress in cleaning the place.

[tanagee]

Today is my 6th Wedding Anniversary...

Having no money and very little food in the house is going to put quite the damper on any festivities. (see the Today thread for confirmation)

I guess I could make; A casserole of Cheerios, Top Ramen, Rice-a-Roni, scalloped potatoes, shredded Mexican cheese, andouille sausage and meatballs. A Diet Coke, Baileys and Champagne Cocktail with sugar free popcicles, and fat free generic coolwhip surprise for desert. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_2_5.gif

Bonus fact: Basically I have TONS of sides but no main dish, and while I can (and have) eat a bowl of cereal or a box of Rice-a-Roni or Scalloped potatoes for dinner, my hubby will not.

[gwensmom]

:wave: Hello artmaker1000! Welcome to 3RF. We will look forward to hearing all the details of your art-making life.

Gwensdad is watching football and yelling at the players.

I cooked all morning but tomorrow I will be $40 richer for it.

[Cuilanië]

I'm thinking Sarah should open a restaurant. :)

I transferred my black calligraphy ink from its big, leaky bottle into two smaller, airtight vials, which take up less than 2/3 the space.

I'd been meaning to do that for several months...

[chunkymonkey]

soup is fun to make.

I had a poppyseed bagel for breakfast. It tasted a little like onions and garlic too. I love when my bagel picks up the taste of other bagels.

maybe I will have a tuna bagel and some soup for dinner. :naughty:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

ahhhhhhhhhh!!!

i've wasted so much of the day in bed...i think i'm sick again :P

grrrrrrrrr!!!!!

[chunkymonkey]

'sick' and 'again' make for a depressing sentence. :kiss:

I wish I didn't know some of the depressing songs I know because I'm too weak not to shower myself with them.

ummm... depressing.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

glad to know i'm not the only person who lets sad, sad songs get to them

when i was a goth girl i was sooooo depressed all the time...i'm sure it had nothing to do with the music...

i want coffee...

[Death_Or_Aldona]

the boy will be home any minute now

i wasted most of my alone time sleeping

it's freakin' cold in here today!

[chunkymonkey]

I'm all caught up in thoughts of people I used to know.

I'm not sure if I think about the past too much. I suppose if I have to ask then I am.

sunday's make me happy because they make me sad.

[Christine_0701]

while walking to value village yesterday i stepped in a rabbit hole and really twisted my ankle

i couldn't walk on it for a few mins, but then it was fine, and it stayed fine for the 3 hours i was shopping

then last night it started to hurt again, and it really hurts now :( and i have class tomorrow, which means i have to walk up 50 million stairs pooh!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

yes- today feels very much like a sunday

complete with nostalgia

i wish i felt like DOING something...i get the feeling i'm going to drink tonight...self destructive? no, not me...

[Skilyne]

Um...my sister asked me to come on here and type this out for her. She is REALLY sick with scarlett fever. She just kind of lays there and drifts in and out. I have no clue if she is taking me through this right.

She said to tell you I'm back from Iraq.

It's me Josh...

[Christine_0701]

:wave: hi Josh

tell Skyline I hope she gets well soon!!

umm...third fact....I'm watching a movie called Recipe for Revenge (i think it is, anyhoo :P)

[hammerquill]

Welcome back to the States, Josh. We're all glad you're home safe.

Wow. I've never known anyone with scarlet fever (let alone Scarlett fever, which must be a fainting illness common to southern belles ;)). Hope skilyne gets better soon.

Today on my way to get coffee I saw a cat, a hummingbird, seventeen pigeons, two pseudodogs and three real dogs, several insects (moths, flies, gnats, ants, and a dying bee), a small bird I don't recognize (some sort of flycatcher or pewee or something), and numerous humans.

I also found twenty-two cents on the street (not all in one place).

[Cuilanië]

Hello Josh, happy homecoming! :wave:

Hope Erica gets well soon... I think one or two of my cousins had scarlet fever, but I didn't get to see them up close, on account of their possibly being contagious.

In French, that would be "la scarlatine". Which is a kinda cute name for it. ;)

[kamoke]

Yikes! that sounds like quite the fever :unsure:

HQ, those are interesting facts

I, however, have none to share. exhaust

[Lilac]

I am so fed up with organized religion. I'm so emotional over the whole thing I can't even think straight enough to express my feelings adequately.

Yes, Gwensmom, It has to do with my Grandmother. I love this woman to death but she is a freaking insane religous fanatic...and I'm just sick to death of being told I'm going to hell.

I hate, hate, hate her church for screwing her up so badly.

[Lilac]

and now that that's vented (somewhat)...WELCOME BACK TO THE STATES JOSH!

Tell Skilyne I'm thinking about her and wishing her a quick recovery!

Scarlet fever....wow...that seems like such a Dickensonian disease!

[Christine_0701]

I thought this movie was going to be dumb, but I actually quite like it

The leading actress reminds me of a friend

I'm bored

[hammerquill]

Yes, Gwensmom, It has to do with my Grandmother. I love this woman to death but she is a freaking insane religous fanatic...and I'm just sick to death of being told I'm going to hell.

I hate, hate, hate her church for screwing her up so badly.

Have you told her that? All of it? I always wonder if there's any way to make such people take notice and actually listen and converse. Most of the time it's simply not worth the effort, but if it's someone you care about and who cares about you, it might be worth a try.

I'm very glad that my religious relatives and few friends are not loonies like that.

I bought five books and a DVD yesterday (not The Punisher - I rented that).

The wallpiece fits in very well where they used it; I definitely see why they wanted it. But it's not all that great a view in the movie.

[Cuilanië]

Much sympathy for Lilac. I'm a recovered RC who grew up under the influence of a near-mystic mother - who still believes in saintly intercession in everyday life, in a very real way - even if nowhere near that fanatical, I completely understand the frustration things like that bring... :hug:

Must... resist... more... ice cream...

My roommate has moved out! There's still some stuff to move, but he's spending his first night at his apartment tonight. :)

[Cuilanië]

It's a fact that I don't know any true religious loonies, but my mother is bad enough.

Oh, and some of the things the Roman Catholic Church asks you to believe...

... like the Pope being infallible. That's a really scary concept, or would be if he had more than his current level of moral authority...

[Cuilanië]

Can you imagine a major political leader having themselves proclaimed infallible? (not to name any names, here... <_< ) <shudders>

My skin is still itchy. It's driving me nuts.

I pressed some flower petals between the pages of my copy of Cyrano de Bergerac. The old copy, of course. Maybe I should have pressed a whole flower, but they're getting so fragile...

Oh yes, Hammerquill, I have tried talking to her about it, but she is resolute in her beliefs.

It's quite sad, actually.

[gwensmom]

JOSH! you're home! :yay: Tell Erica we are so sorry she is sick.

Lilac, a relationship with God is not supposed to make you miserable. Forget everything you have seen/heard and start over. And do not worry about going to hell. I mean, could it be any worse than that place you work? :evil:

Opening a restaurant (or any other retail establishment) is the last thing I ever wish for. If I go to hell that is what they will make me do. But Lilac and Hammerquill can come eat there and we will have a good time.

[Cuilanië]

I still have a numb spot on my upper lip where I burned it on boiling liquid yesterday.

This apartment is MINE ALONE... for ten days, anyway.

I am dreading having to call the Préfecture again tomorrow...

You're right, Sarah. How much worse could Hell be, huh? :lol:

I'd be glad to eat at your underworld establishment with Hammerquill, as long as Eve is there, too!!! :D

I'm sure there'd be lots of other intersting characters there as well! :P

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i haven't followed this thread in way too long

2 i haven't had dinner yet (it's 22 minutes to 8 pm)

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i hate double posts

2 i think dinner might be ready

3 i should skim the past few pages of 3rf

Hi Alison! How's life these days?

Wow, it's got late all of a sudden. Sigh.

[Lilac]

Hi Skilyne!

Are you feeling better?

How the heck did you get scarlet fever?????

[thunderstorm_19]

hi eve! :)

1 - where did the past week go? (not a fact)

2 - as of tomorrow, gran's funeral was a week ago already

3 - it still doesn't seem real that she's gone

Eve, since you are Catholic won't you have to spend time in purgatory? If you're going to hell do you go straight there? Or can you go to purgatory first and then to hell if you screw up?

Catholicism can be so complicated!

But some of my favorite theologians and spritual hero/ines are Catholic.

[oreogrl1]

Today, I went to go see my goldfish.
I left them in the park pond near Martin Luther King school.
They are like a foot long! It's incredible!

[Larrissa]

lilac, your signature has made me laugh till tears. i think the surprise element had alot to do with it. maybe im delerious from work.

good wishes to the sick!

stepdad said i smelled like a sandwich when he picked me up, thought it was funny.

[oreogrl1]

I want to talk to someone on aim.
But they're not on.
So, now I'm just being boring... unless someone talks to me.

[Helquin]

Yikes, scarlet fever. Hoping Skilyne is feeling better soon. :(

Lilac: I can sympathize with what you're going through. For better or worse, I just had to sever all connections with the crazier thundermentalists about 10 years ago, including my paternal grandmother.

There's an element of mental illness that finds a welcome refuge in that kind of religious fanaticism. <_<

I spent most of my teens smelling like fried chicken and a long stretch of my mid-20s smelling like pizza. :lol:

Tonight I have given up Coke for some fortified "7-Up Plus." The "Plus" is that it has calcium & vitamin C.

A little bit of a shiney taste. Ick: I just saw why. "Sweetened with Splenda."

[Christine_0701]

I just wrote 2 poems! yeay :D

*ahem* I don't really think they're that good, and there's nobody i'm talking to i can ask for a second oppinion

I almost Can't wait till i'm done with all my creative writing classes

[zanna]

i want a kitty, or a dog, or a hampster ..anything!

i miss my animals back home.

i'm devising a way to harbor a small creature in my dorm without it being discovered. the last time i saw any animal besides a damn pigeon was 2 weeks ago when i drove home. :(

[Christine_0701]

Zanna, would you be able to get away with a fish? That's what my roommate in first year did.

I'm thinking of possibly getting a fish.

I missed the dorm barbeque today

[Death_Or_Aldona]

there's absolutely no reason for me to be unhappy right now

so, why am i so freakin' depressed...

i can't afford to go to an old friend's wedding next week. i still haven't figured out a good way to break the news...i hate rsvp-ing for things. like i have any idea if i'm going to be able to attend a function that's 2 months away....

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i think i just talked the boy into going out to get icecream for me

sometimes i hate when he agrees to run an errand for me...just because i would feel sooooo horrible if he got into a car wreck or something just because i HAD to have icecream...

the other day he ran out to grab my books from the library and it took him a super-long time. i just sat and fretted the whole time...

[Samski]

I feel bad for Death Or Aldona!
If I were rich I'd send a car to transport Death Or Aldona to the wedding.
And pay for a great gift to take.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

awww...thanks :)

everyone's crazy about weddings this year, i dunno what it is...

this is the 4th friend of mine to get married this year...

[Samski]

I was also married this year...after 8 years together and two children we decided we'd better do it. We imagined ourselves sitting there together aged 80 trying to remember what we forgot to do.

[Larrissa]

this cat is made of cheese. dont look at me that way!

i dint make the art i was supposed to last night, i was TIRED and went to bed instead.

oh and i thought alot, had a dream Z and i got together and talked.
you know you need someone real in life to talk to when your dreams consist of conversations with folks you havent even met. :rolleyes:

[siafu]

working a lot

thinking of radical schedule alterations

i drew a baby last night but he looked like a small old guy.

[tanagee]

I Yahooed Scarlet Fever because I couldn't remember what exactly it was:
Scarlet fever was once a very serious childhood disease, but now is easily treatable. The incubation period is short, generally 1-2 days. Illness typically begins with a fever and sore throat. It may be accompanied by chills, vomiting, abdominal pain, and malaise.

The streptococcal bacteria produces a toxin that causes a rash that appears one to two days after the onset of illness. The rash usually first appears on the neck and chest, then spreads over the body. It is described as "sandpapery" in quality. The texture of the rash is more important than the appearance in confirming the diagnosis. The rash can last for over a week. As the rash fades, peeling (desquamation) may occur around the finger tips, toes, and groin area.

I read this As the rash fades, peeling (desquamation) may occur around the finger tips, toes, and groin area and thought OH NO poor Erica! :o

My hubby had $25.00 left from some gas $ a buddy gave him for doing a favor so we bought steaks, potatos, salad and had a nice dinner for our anniversary. :wub:

Awww... :yay:

After seemingly returning to a normal schedule (for me) yesterday, today I woke up early again.

I actually had breakfast. :o And I've just finished my workout. Before coffee. :o :o

It's really strange, this "morning" thing.

[gwensmom]

I am at work trying to avoid actually working and you people are not posting fast enough to keep me entertained.

I went to the thrift store this morning and picked up a few interesting items to naked mail.

This afternoon I have to shop for clothes. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGH! The only things I really like to shop for are food and yarn.

[namelessgirl]

Oh gwensmom, I hear you on the clothes shopping. Bleck. Yarn shopping is grand, as is book and music shopping. Clothes are evil. Which reminds me I must take back some purchases today.

Work in an hour and a half. Where the hell did my morning go??

The cats had a party last night while we were asleep. They dragged my yarn up and down the stairs, finished the leftover pizza, and played with the hubby's medical supplies. Medical gauze *everywhere*!!! grr.

[Skilyne]

It's me. I'm actually able to function for more than a few seconds at a time today...so here I am.

Thanks for the get well wishes! Luckily, in adults, scarlet fever does not always produce much of a rash...if one at all. So I just have a small patch on my stomach. Other than that, I'm just running high fevers, throwing up, lost ALL energy, and the other crummy things that go along with it.

One of my co-worker's little girls had it...maybe he carried it into the shop. With my low immune system, I pick things up so easily.

[Lilac]

Oh, I'm so glad to see Skilyne is feeling well enough to post!

And glad that she won't be suffering desquamation!!!

Get more rest and get better, Erica!

[gwensmom]

yay Skilyne is better! And Josh is home!

Lilac I am dying of curiosity and you must tell me how to corn someones house.

I just volunteered to make brownies for 30 8th and 9th graders. What was I thinking???? Oh well, at least I have a brownie mix coupon.

[Helquin]

Haha: corning a house :lol:

GwensMom, you need dried corn, the stuff they feed livestock.

Good memories :D

[gwensmom]

But what do you do with the corn?

[Helquin]

rub the kernels off the ears -- they come right off

throw the kernels at houses, cars, etc.

works better against glass and/or metal (like a car roof or a utility shed): makes a big [harmless] clatter and scares people :D

oh, supposedly a potential cause of automobile accident if driver sufficiently shaken by the surprise <_< party poopers

[Lilac]

You just throw it at someone's house. That's it. Lots and lots of it, if you have it. I don't know what the point of it is...but that's what the kids around here have been doing for generations, probably! :lol:

Silly stuff.

Obviously Helquin knows about "corning!"

[Death_Or_Aldona]

wow. our dsl modem kit JUST showed up at the door! yay!

too bad the boy is working a double today :P i could probably figure out how to make it work, but i am not confident enough to trust myself not to break anything in the process...

goodbye aol hahahahaha!

[siafu]

oh no oh no. poor erica!
