Three random facts:

[Bugitha]

1. I called in sick to work today because I was feeling good, creative, energetic and didn't want work to squash that. I spent the morning writing and working on nness stuff. (Here comes the rationalization . . .) I figure it all balances out because I have gone to work sick plenty of times. Once I went to work straight from the hospital having been diagnosed with pluerisy. I figure, when I'm miserable, I may as well be at work! (Yes, yes, I know this means I should find a different line of work.)

2. I almost always use sick days as "mental health days"--to keep me from going out of my mind.

2. I will probably work voluntary overtime tomorrow and the next day so my paycheck won't be too short.

[katrinasolo]

1. i just got back from a two and a half hour long honors convocation, where I was recognized for an award i recieved 3 months ago

2. I could have gone to wennie roast instead

3. I'm moving to Hawaii in exactly 2 months!

[Ashley]

1. So, I'm moving this weekend, kind of weird feeling but I'll be back in 3 months.
2. I had no idea I have so many clothes, I've already filled 2 large boxes and have a long ways to go. Where did all of these clothes? It's kind of funny cause I wear the same batch of clothes most of the time, and the rest are just there if I feel in the mood one day. I guess since all of my clothes come from thrift stores I buy a whole lot cause they don't cost as much and it's not that big of a loss if I don't wear them a lot.
3. I have to find a job and I don't want to, darn. I really don't know what kind of job I can find since it's only for the summer and I'll be gone half of July. And since being in college all I've studied is art, hmm...

[nymphette]

one more family thought, then onto... hm....

1: my grandmother (mom's mom) married my grandfather (obviously... http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif ) and her two sisters (who look remarkably lik eher) married his two brothers (who, again, look a lot like him!!!) i always thought that was pretty neat, the 3 sisters and 3 brothers... not much of an extended family though..

2: i am burnt from my fingertips to my hairline to the middle of my chest, and mid thigh down... you'd think by (almost) 30 you'd learn to put sunscreen on your fair, red headed skin... sigh... out hostessing (??) a garage sale all day...

3: i have had my kids' names, for a boy and a girl, picked out for the past 19 years!!! i did get to use 'julian christopher chase' for my boy, but no girls... my second son is 'harrison liam kiefer'... NO LAUGHING!!!! and he is NOT named after even ONE movie star (though julian is very named after julian lennon...) we didnt' even realize all three were somewhat 'famous' until i wrote the name down together... we didnt' care though, we loved them together like that!!!!

1 - On Children: While I was visiting my father and stepmother this past weekend they kept asking me when I was going to give them some grandchildren. Since I don't even know ANY men socially, after three days of this I told them that if they could find me a husband I'd adopt some grandchildren for them. A very strange and unsettling light came into their eyes when I said this. I'd be worried but I live two states away. You see, they're Mormon and want big family quite badly. My mother. on the other hand, has long thought that my having responsibility for children might be a bad idea. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

2 - I don't know if I want children. I wouldn't have my own because of the health problems I have and the ones that I could pass on, but sometimes I think that I'd be a decent parent.

3 - My great-grandmother claimed that we're related to William the Conquerer and Mark Twain, but she's not the most reliable source and I've yet to see any proof of this.

Bonus:
4 - I somehow have got a black eye, but I don't know how it happened.

[stargal1998]

1-- Andrew Jackson is a relative of mine. My mom's mother's mother was a jackson...

2-- My great uncle on my father's side once managed Josephine Baker in Europe (too cool).

3-- Since I've practically raised my little half-brothers, I will probably never want to have kids. I've always been more of a cat mommy than anything else.

<and because I sympathise with nymphette> 4--I had a garage sale over the weekend (forsaking a day at work) and made a grand total of $30... Did I mention I really don't like people who try to haggle over the price of something worth a dollar or two, but marked a quarter?

[mejaka]

1. I have a canvas floor-to-ceiling banner, about a foot wide, on which I measure my children's height periodically. My mother did the same thing on a door frame and when they moved they had to paint over twenty-five years of measurements of children, grandchildren, and friends. It was heartbreaking. (Personally, I'd have pulled the board and rebuild the doorframe).

2. I'm going to have to give up my cellphone for financial reasons...sigh.

3. My husband has 11 siblings. His mother and eldest sister were pregnant at the same time, twice, so there are aunt/niece and uncle/nephew relationships that celebrate the same birthdays in the same years and are good buddies. There's now another generation, which means Brett's youngest brother Lance (along with all the rest) is a great-uncle to his good friend and nephew David's daughter--and Lance is 19. Monica, too, at 21, is about to become a great-aunt to her friend and niece's child...

[/b][/quote]

Recently, at a friends house, I penciled in the height of her children on the back door frame without even asking permission from my friend! What is this compulsion to measure children? Or adults, for that matter. The one semester I lived in a dorm, my roommates and I took the measurement of every friend and aquaintance who came through our door, and wrote their names next to it. Since I left that college after one semester, I have often wondered if my roommates were penalized for the "graffiti" when their room was inspected at the end of the year.

1. Because I must mail out Nervousness stuff today, I am debating whether to go to the closest post office with the grumpiest workers or the friendliest post office which is a bit out of my way, but not by much.

2. I am resisting the urge to go to the craft store "just to look" because I know I'd wind up buying. However, there is a good craft store in the very same shopping center as the friendly post office and if I did go to that p.o. it would be a shame not to just stop in the store for a minute or two . . .

3. Hairdressers often comment that i have an "interesting hairline." It doesn't really seem out of the ordinary to me which does make me wonder why people feel they must comment on it. But then I don't go around inspecting other peoples hairlines (as a general rule http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif ).

[kasey]

Littlebird, I hope you have a fun Birthday tomorrow. Cheap wine lots of friends could be an unbeatable combination!

1. I am sick and running a fever at work roday with no sick days left. My design work doesn't look very good today.

2. I had a dream last night that me and Catie Curtis (a kick ass folk musician) were playing guitar together in a hotel room with my dad. What a geeky yet fun dream.

3. I am wearing two different color shoes to work today. oops. I have pretty impotant meeting too. . .

[insomnolicious]

1. this is my first participation in this thread

2. My slippers - lime green with blue hippos on them - have huge holes in their bottoms. I only paid 5 bucks for them, but I expected them to last longer than they have.

3. my pencils are always dull when I can't find my pencil sharpener.

[nymphette]

1: i made up my own recipe for veggie burgers and they are kick ass!!! i have wrecked a food processor making it though...

2: when i was 2 or 3, i used to bite my arm or my brother's (if he didn't get out of my way quick enough) if my mother didn't buy raisins when we got groceries... i don't really like them anymore...

3: the first time i got drunk was on jack daniels and old stock beer... i was 13 years old (ah the joys of small town living) and sick for two days... yes, it taught me to never drink- jd's and old stock anyhow... everything else was still fair game... heh

2. i learned about the birds and the bees when i was about 5 and my friend trish told me at a big picnic that her parents were throwing. i remember marching up to my parents in front of everyone and asking them very loudly if it was true in fact, that babies came from having sex. i also remember everyone laughing very hard.

3. when i went snorkeling when i was on vacation in hawaii in hanauma bay last week, i saw parrotfish, sea urchins, cuttlefish, and a sea turtle. very cool.

[ninerfan_11]

1. I'm eating spice drops that I bought for $1 at Wal-Mart right now, as I type this.

2. I'm the oldest of four kids, but I think I'm going to be the shortest here really soon.

3. I need to buy some new shoes... most likely Skechers.

[solarpluvia]

1 - My mom has told my best friend that I used to lick sidewalks when I was very little, but it isn't true.

2 - I did however like to throw glass objects onto our concrete patio. Especially light bulbs. They make cool sounds.

3 - I am giddy over the joys of my new broadband internet connection. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

1. after travelling through 5 states in one day, i am finally home after being away for a month. i'm not very happy about it.

2. but, i had a lot of mail to open when i got home!!! ..including a wonderful package from a very generous person in the UK. this person left no return address or name or any hint of who they might be and it is just killing me. who are you and where can i send you kisses!!!!

2. I love exploring parts of the city I haven't been to before.

3. Today we walked around Little Lake, collect a bunch of goose feather and checked out a gorgeous cemetary with lots of old and pretty gravestones.

Bonus:
4. I love cemetaries but don't want to buried in one. I want to cremated in a old style funeral pyre with part of the ashes buries under a tree and rest scattered in a bunch of places near to my heart.

[hadaka]

1. My grandma is in the hospital
2. I am so broke I can't pay attention
3. I have a new username

[satyavati.dd]

1. the state is in for their annual survey of our building. This is day #3 which will be the last day. They mentioned they are planning leaving around noon, which means, we are planning on leaving around five minutes after that. i'm exhausted.

2. yesterday our building got hit by lightning again. It blew the fire alarm system and the secure care (wander guard) system, but instantly reset itself, which has never happened before.

3. a girl i work with had a TIA (transient ischemic attack="mini-stroke") yesterday at lunchtime. She's only 28 years old. She was in the dining room assisting the residents to eat lunch. They never missed a bite. She'll be OK, but it was pretty scary there for a few minutes til we got things under control and 911 on the way.

1. I'm going to the zoo tomorrow! (a good one with the thumbs up from an independant animal welfare group = ZooCheck)

2. My cat is a wonderful suck but has problems controlling her claws and often scratches me when we're cuddling. I'm thinking of cutting them. Any suggestions?

3. My first word was "toes"

Sorry willow star, I really know nothing about cats.

1. I am deathly allergic to cats and rabbits. Most things with fur, actually...but some dogs i'm ok with.

2. I click at http://www.thechildhealthsite.com every day.

3. I am truly seriously addicted to the internet.

[Bugitha]

1. I made my very first ATCs today and now I'm wondering what in the world took me so long to try 'em.

2. I went to the craft store and an art supply store today and walked out of both without spending a dime. Life is good when you can surprise yourself.

3. My apartment is clean and (almost) in order, which is good. You can always tell my state of mind by looking around my place.

Good old memories:

1. At 16: Sitting at the back of a crowded hall with my boyfriend during a variety show in which the emcee was struggling to keep the space filled between acts, and hearing, "I understand the Mauldin children are in the audience, and I've run out of jokes here...Could you guys come up and sing?" Going up with my sister and brother and doing "Poor Boy" and a couple others in close harmony, spur of the moment, audience of hundreds. :^ )

2. At 20: Being called to the information desk at college, where I was handed a dozen red roses and a note from my Dad, who had driven me to school but forgot it was my birthday until I was already in class.

3. Sleeping out with my brother and sisters during the summer, talking and watching for falling stars and satellites until we fell asleep midsentence.

[AlienSpy]

I haven't posted in this thread in a while...

1) I'm suffering from really bad allergies right now. We just got a new kitty today so now there are 2 X more animals than human beings living in the house (2 dogs, 2 cats, my boyfriend & I).

2) I had an amazing summer class called "creativity" and now that it's over I wish it lasted longer!

3) I can't wait for university to start again in September because I'm fed up with my summer job.

[reddirtrose]

good old memories

2) When I was born I had three thumbs (one was removed when I was around four)

2. I just got back from seeing The Black Pirate, a Douglas Fairbanks Sr. silent film, with live Wurlitzer accompaniment in one of the greatest movie palaces left in the US: the Paramount Oakland.

3. My back has been committing slow murder upon me since last night. Near the end of work today, I thought it had about accomplished its purpose. I think I'll go sign off and stop sitting in this chair now.

Today's 3 random facts:

1. I have remembered to eat breakfast every day for 2 weeks.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i'm amazed this thread is still going.

2. i got a sliver in my right middle finger yesterday (it's out now, but i have a little pinprick wound, it was in deep).

3. something (raccoon? cat?) dug up part of the patch where my radishes are growing. No major damage done to the radishes, replanted the uprooted ones, patch smelled like pee.

4. I got garden dirt in my finger wound. then I washed it out several minutes later.

5. I hate it when people twist things I say into complete BS(if you're on my LJ friendslist, you can read the entry I refer to).

6. I went garage sale-ing again yesterday, and spent a grand total of 80 cents.

[Lorrell]

1. I'm afraid to drive a car in the rain but don't mind sailing a boat in bad weather.

I love this thread!

1) I am getting a new Tattoo for my birthday, which is rapidly approaching.

2) I know what I want for said tattoo, but can't decide how to execute it. Nor have I found the right artist to do it. It will also be my most ambitious tattoo to date!

3) This tattoo will cover an existing one, I hope, that I think is stinky but most other people seem to think is great. It's hard for me to not be a perfectionist when this is going to be on my body forever.

So does my boyfriend. He's willing to drive 14 miles to get gas at sheets when we have two gas stations at the end of our road and a major truck stop less than a mile to the south of us... Go figure!


1. I read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix this weekend (won't spoil it). I am a little disappointed that I finished it, especially after realizing that Rowling probably won't put the next one to press in the next year. And when I went to pick it up Friday night at Borders I realized that while I am a fan, there are some Potter fanatics out there that kinda scare me... :-)

2. I went to Six Flags Worlds of Adventure with my family and boyfriend on Saturday and we went to see the batman water stunt show--I never realized batman had a beer belly, a beard and very slow reflexes.

3. My boyfriend really wants me to go to a Renaissance fair with him this summer. I've never really been to one, and I am really not wanting to go. And I doubt he'll just go without me because he hates not going places with me... http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

[ninerfan_11]

[B]1. I went white water rafting for the first time last summer, and it was, by far, the scariest thing I've ever done. (see fact 3 and that'll explain why).

2. I'm a music addict. I just love listening to it. Really loud too. (So I'll probably be deaf by age 40).

3. I can't swim.

[Katiekat]

1. Sleeping turned into quite the chaotic affair for me last night: I went to bed, then heard the cat banging on the garage door -- seems someone let her out & forgot to let her in. I got out of bed, went to let her in, and realized that the garage door was up, and she'd been out prowling around for about 4 hours (she's an indoor cat only). I went back to bed, and woke up with a spider crawling on me. I only freaked out a little, and tried to ignore it. Woke up time #2, with Spider #2 crawling on me. Freaked out a little more, and decided to sleep on the living room couch. Moved furniture in the dark to allow me to sleep on couch, and tossed & turned until 4:30 am. Tried the floor, and decided it wasn't much better. Then I had to pee, and decided since i was up, I'd try my bed again. Went to bed, tossed & turned, finally fell asleep, only for my cell phone alarm to go off an hour early @ 6:22. Turned it off, slept til real alarm went off @ 7:22.

I'm very tired.

2. My whole goal over the weekend was to clean my room. I spent all Sunday afternoon working on it, and only managed to clean off half my desk. *tsk*

3. I cannot stand the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard.

1. i am obsessed with doritios. i don't know how it started because when i was a kid, i hated them, now i want them all the time.
2. i recently got a puppy. he's supposed to be a cockapoo but after a trip to the vet for some shots, he told us that our dog had no poodle in him.
3. in about a month it'll be my first wedding anniversary. i still can't believe i'm married (i mean that in a good way).

[kasey]

1. I find this thread to be a great reason to slack off of work sometimes

1. I now reside in a little resort town called Pinawa, Manitoba. I'll be here for 8 weeks.

[solarpluvia]

1 - I had the cable man here today for 3 hours trying to figure out why the box in my bedroom haxd gone out twice. He then blew out two more boxes before another guy showed up with a third box and the two of them plus a lady on their talkies figured out that it was a problem with the codes that were being sent to the box. But it was worth it because...

2 - I finally got to tape "I Was A Male War Bride," one of my favorite Cary Grant movies when it was on tonight. TCM doesn't play it very often, so I've been lucky that they've shown it twice in the past few weeks.

3 - I took a nap, which is really strange for me. I didn't even take naps as a child. Always resented having to lie down and be still while everyone else slept. I'd rather have been reading. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. I hope mejaka has accolades in multiples of three for starting this thread.

2. 'Another One Bites the Dust' is playing as I type this.


3 Tem Tin's
Article about the Tim Tam and Dick Smith's variation thereon (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/04/17/1050172707606.html) were cheaper than Tim tams at the supermarket.

[PenguinGurl]

1) Yesterday while driving around with my Mum and aunt, I saw a VR postbox! Not too amazing except that just a few days before Mum heard an American guy on the radio say there was only one left in the country, and that it was in Buxton (this one wasn't!).
2) My mother is a photographer, and one of the things she takes photos of is old/unusual postboxes; needless to say she was ecstatic
3) The VR box is just a street away from my new house http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

PenguinGurl http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[mejaka]

1. I don't know what a VR postbox is but I want to see the photograph now!

2. I don't know what Tim Tams are, either, but after reading just a couple paragraphs of that article, I am going to ask my neice if she can possibly send me some.

3. When my sister's son did his Flat Stanley report, his teacher asked my sister in astonishment, "Wow, does your sister live like this EVERY WEEK?" Leslie said I did, and she's right--other than taking F. Stanley along to the stuff we wanted to go to, we changed nothing about our daily lives...Now I feel like I live such an exciting life, which is funny since said sister is a performing opera singer, runs an opera outreach, is head of the charter-school support movement in her area, etc. etc. Kind of always thought I was the boring one...Best thing--Leslie video'd the report! So I get to see it Sunday when I'm in Boise for my birthday and the 4th of July.

[ninerfan_11]

1. I just ate a balogna and cheese sandwich.

2. I'm a frequent visitor of www.homestarrunner.com. (It's so funny).

3. My favorite TV shows, are: Friends, Home Improvement, and ER.

[Seusomon]

1. US citizenship notwithstanding, I know that "VR" is "Victoria Regina", and so those are historic postboxes!

2. My mom and sister sent me flowers today as a housewarming gift. So sweet.

3. I think I'll print out some ATC labels with my new address on them, and then go to sleep.

1. I could never take naps or sleep during the day either. Even when I was very sick. My mother finally gave up on making me take a nap as a child. She finally gave me the option of either napping or reading/playing quietly in my room (so she could nap!). But in my late twenties that all changed. First with very short naps--10 or twenty minutes. They got progressively longer and now I could sleep everyday for an hour or two in the afternoon (if I wasn't working!)

2. Since I had the day off, I *did* sleep for an hour this afternoon. When I woke up, both cats were passed out on the bed with me. A real "cat nap" http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

3. I love the way sliced watermelon looks but I don't really care to eat it.

[Janey22au]

Oooo this looks like fun..Ok so three random facts...let me see

1. I have a tattoo somewhere on my person! (I take it everywhere)

2. I am a part of the defence force, as a reserve

3. I need a kitchen table because we don't have one. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[solarpluvia]

1 - I know it is summer and all that, but it really is unpleasantly hot here. I'm all activated and can't sleep, but neither can I do anything useful.

2 - I went looking for a new bed yesterday, but didn't find anything. Instead I took the mattresses from both futons and stacked them. I haven't slept so well in weeks and we can deal with the lack of a guest bed when we ever have guests.

3 - Even though I don't cook, I love to read big, complex cookbooks with picutes. I think of it almost as food porn!

Hi!

1 - i eat my toast (or sandwiches) crust first, middle last.

2 - can only swim on my back.

3 - love walking barefoot in the grass.

[Lorrell]

1. I trained the Blue Jays in my backyard to eat peanuts out of my hand.

2. I love to play piano when no one is listening but me

3. I have a suitcase filled with nothing but swimsuits.

[Dalmaney]

1. I have been pillaging art supplies from every available source. Right now in my purse, I have some birch bark scraps and some leaves to press.

2. I now live a 5 minute walk from the beach, but haven't gone swimming yet.

3. Today I put the spare bed in my res room into my spare closet. Said room now seems much larger.

[Seusomon]

1. I invent languages.

2. Life seems baffling, but is still stranger than it seems.

3. It's bed time.

I guess I do that, too, but didn't even realize it until I was eating lunch with someone at work who pointed it out one day. How could I not know that about myself? http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

1. I'm tired and grumpy today. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif So there.

2. I used to work in a neighborhood mall that had a group in to square dance every Sunday afternoon. There was rarely an audience. One day the dancers were all wearing paper rabbit ears given to them by the mall easter bunny. Watching a bunch of people twirl around in square-dance costumes and bunny ears, listening to the tape recorded dance calls echoing through an almost empty mall is one of the strangest, most surreal things I have seen.

3. I once bought a picture from a place in Pennsylvania because it was a combination fish and chips stand /gothic art store. How could I pass that up?

[Ashley]

1. Bugitha reminded me of this funny memory. A few months ago my neighbors (who I didn't speak to yet) had a huge party in our houses backyard. It was the funniest thing I've seen in quite a while cause I didn't know what they were doing so my friends and I just kept coming up with ideas as to what they were doing. Anyway, this is what was going on. There were at least 50 people crammed into this little yard dressed in tuxes and prom dresses mainly. But a few people were in full costumes, like bunny suits and Jesus outfit. Then there was a person in a bride outfit in the front that everyone was looking at and a guy next to her on a cross ( you know like a crucifix but without the nails.) They were singing hymnal songs and wedding songs and drinking cheap 40 oz's( for those that use the metric system that's I think 2 and a half beers in one bottle, very cheap beer). We could not figure out what the hell they were doing, especially when they drove their car through the yard and pulled out a fire extenguisher and were spraying it everywhere. We later found out it was just a drunk, college party pretending to have a funny wedding.
2. I'm taking 2 summer classes online, Writing 122 and World Civilization. I'm pissed though, cause the World Civilization is only about the white hemisphere of the world. I thought world would imply all of the world, not just Europe and North America, guess not.
3. I'm making ice tea right now, the perfect summer drink.

[littlest-bee]

1. This week I have cried at least once a day because I'm so stressed out at work. I've had a really horrible, stressful few days and I need a break.

2. As a result of this week I have decided that I definitely need to find a new job. I used to love my job but not anymore: so I'm looking for a change.

3. I started to lose my voice on Tuesday (a sure sign I'm tired), today (Friday) I can barely croak out a word but I still have to present to a group of students in 20 minutes time.

Sorry this is such a negative, work-related group of three, it just reflects where my head is right now.

[sharkgirl]

I| love this stuff, so do a lot of us, my gosh there are so many replies! : )

Mine:

1-I moved from Washington DC to West Sussex, England about 8 months ago and I really love it here.
2-I was bitten by a baby sandbar shark on my ankle when I was about 13 because I stepped on his tail.
3-I have many ridiculous human tricks like tieing a cherry stem with my tongue and flipping my eyelids, but the best one is that I can make my pupils dialate just by concentrating on doing it<-freaky stuff!

3. The only thing thats keeping me from eating a cookie is the fact that I've already flossed my teeth and am too lazy to do it again.

[nymphette]

bugitha: i had an ingrown toenail and would have had to wait two months to get in for surgery (to have the toenail removed, or to have part of the 'root' removed) so i took it off myself... and had to with the other one too... it hurt... but it wasnt' that bad and i just didnt' want to wait that long... my mom freaked on my head for doing it!!! and then asked how i could stand the pain... <shrug>

and since i am here again...

1: i make the best homemade iced tea ever too.... http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

2: i get strep throat, tonsillitis or bronchitis at least four times a year... luckily, i haven't been sick other than a cold since we had harrison... (he will be hospitalized if he gets even a flu, chicken pox, etc... he's had a couple of colds, be he's been okay, thank god!!!)

3: i am going to be homeschooling my son julian when he's of school age... because of the likelihood of him bringing home something like chicken pox, measles, what have you... unless harrison has his liver transplant before then...

[Dalmaney]

1. My first three high school kids arrive today, making my supervisory job alot more interesting.

2. I'm thinking about introducing some of them to the wonderful world of ATC's if I get some artsy science geeks.

3. I love living in a small town. I love the friendly people, the quirky little stores, the deer roaming the streets, the unwatched children, the library that lends me books on the merit of my word alone. I love the small town mentality.

[xoVIVAleROCK]

1. i've lived on the same street in the same little city all my life, but i've never really felt like i'm at home.

2. i have a crush on jeff goldblum.

3. when i was a little kid, i used to eat ants.

[satyavati.dd]

1. i've had weird cravings all week. This week i have actually broke down and bought some ODoul's (non-alcoholic beer, if you don't live in the US). i was just craving beer in the worst way. This is odd for me-i officially 'quit drinking' on Feb. 19, 1990, and i don't generally get cravings. i do sometimes have some olfactory hallucinations (where i'll just be sitting around and suddenly smelling Southern Comfort with sweet tea, out of nowhere). At the moment some pierogis are thawing in the kitchen because i just HAD to have some.

2. i'm really tired. My whole body has been giving me grief this week-cramps, charleyhorses, spasms, etc. Just random pain.

3. i love languages. The other day i translated our 'abuse and neglect' policy into Spanish for the benefit of some of our staff who don't speak or read English very well. (It's now the 'insultos, abandono y maltratar' page.) i was real proud of myself for having very few errors on it. i don't speak any languages besides English (and i don't speak English very well either) but i can read and write almost proficiently in Spanish, and somewhat in several other languages. Seems like all my real proficiency is in reading/writing, no matter what language it is-even English is a struggle sometimes for me to speak.

4. Just for the hoo rah of it, here's a bonus fact: hemispheric dominance (speaking of brains) is generally the opposite to your dominant hand-ie, a left handed person is right-brain dominant. However, i am both right-handed and right-brained. (There is a pretty easy test to discover the dominant hemisphere of your brain.) i understand that a lot of people with ADHD are right-brain dominant regardless of which hand is dominant. It probably accounts for some of my generalised confusion and also my LD in math.

[Bugitha]

1. I was just sitting here singing to myself, realized how strange it seemed, tried to rationalize it by thinking I was actually singing to the cats, realized it was still pretty weird, gave up thinking about it and went back to singing.

2. The song is "Close to You" by the Carpenters and I have no idea how it got into my head.

3. "On the day that you were born the angels got together . . ."

2. I made 52 ATCs today, trying to catch up.

3. Today, I bought all the stuff to make my own sushi. mmmmm

[philosofialogos]

1. I graduated from my university in 3 years instead of 4 because I studied during the summer when housing was free.

2. My minor was originally going to be French, but I changed it to Modern Hebrew so that I could go on a summer class that toured the southwest with a guy I had a crush on and then be in his Hebrew class for the next summer session. He was the first person I ever fell in love with. The second was my husband!

3. I got Lasik last month and now have 20/10 vision. What amazing luck!

[peacechik55]

1) i have a gold telephone... (spraypaint is magical, i say)
2)my toenails are blue.
and 3)i recently found 1/2 a two dollar bill in a basket of basketballs at walmart. it had the names Rudy Montani on the back and Rocco with the date 6/21/88 on the front. If this half two dollar bill may belong to you, please inquire.

[beja]

1. yesterday, i purchased a $10 french fashion magazine solely because it had beautiful images to make into envelopes. (but none of actual fashion models)

2. i went to a bluegrass concert in a very small town in new jersey today. it made me want to start playing the violin (er, fiddle) again.

3. a friend and i wanted to eat dinner at our favorite indian place. we discussed what we were going to get before we even got there. samosas, veg. pakora, onion paratha, and channa masala. we were sooooooooo hungry. as we walked to the door, something felt weird. different.

Jeff Goldblum, sigh... I have so many weird crushes on celebrities it isn't funny... I'm scared because Philip Seymor Hoffman is growing on me... :-(

1. My boyfriend may be getting a '98 Ranger tonight after work... if so, he will have to get up every morning an hour earlier and work an hour earlier so he can afford it without denting his regular paycheck.

2. I got fanmail this week on my livejournal, which is significant to me because I just read Why Girls are Weird by Pamela Ribon... Great book!

3. I'm wearing a glittery knit abergine shirt right now... woo HOO!

[Katiekat]

1. I leave for Seattle in about 56 hours, and I feel like I am so not ready. I still have to do laundry, pack, go to the bank, finish cleaning my house ('cause who wants to come back to a messy house?), and send out some Lmao's. What makes me the most mad is that I'm sitting at work, unable to get any of those things done.

2. I want some indian food now. Mmm, chicken mumtali....*drools*

3. I'm re-reading the first 4 Harry Potter books before I read #5 -- I wanted to refresh my memory. I've read 1, 2, and 3 in the space of about a week.

philosofialogos - az at yoda'at ivrit then? Interesting...

1. a hellicopter is flying over the neighbourhood right now - a low, noisy flight. Quite annoying but one has to get used to it, especially since one chose to live not too far from the parliament building and the official houses of the prime minister and the president.

2. the music wars continues. The mediocre next-door neighbours  now play dumb war songs/ Jerusalem praise songs every afternoon. What a great opportunity to play The Misfits and Battalion of Saints http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

3. I really, really miss the States. Smells and sounds constantly remind me of my travels there. Can't believe it's been 4 years since my last trip and 7 since the big, meaningful, fun one.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am apparantly slightly left-brained and veer toward the visual, as opposed to auditory. My left/right split was only 54/46%, though, confirming to me that I am a bizarre mix of artsy and scientific.

2. I get bored reading books other people love, and anything that can be considered "classic". I'm currently plowing through The Bourne Identity because I thought it would be better than the movie. In this case, I don't think it is at all.

3. I just went for a 40 minute run/walk and now I can't shower because the plumber is here to fix things in our res wing. So I smell bad, violating our hygiene policy established last night. Bad supervisor, me!

1-i am in the middle of writing a final for international law. it's very long, so i take breaks sometimes. plus, i have to think, and when i'm thinking about something else, my brain relaxes LOL yeah whatever. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

2-i want a big bowl of macaroni and cheese

3-my feet are swollen.

[solarpluvia]

1 - I just spent something like an hour and a half watching video over on homerstarrunner (http://www.homestarrunner.com). Too funny!

2 - I don't have, and have never had, a strong circadian rhythm. When I don't have a concrete schedule my sleep time travels around the clock. I do get more done in a day when I wake up in the morning, though.

3 - I have the feeling that the new speakers I had to order for my computer will come to the house when I am sleeping or out and I will miss the delivery person. For an explanation of why I had to get a new set of speakers identical to my old ones, see my livejournal. Why didn't I just have them delivered to the mailbox? I wasn't thinking rationally at the time.

[Bugitha]

1. Methinks I should spend less time nosing around the forums and more time actually working on LMAOs.

2. While checking out allrecipes.com earlier, I came across a recipe for a breaded, deep fried, 'grilled' cheese sandwich and am having trouble even wrapping my mind around the concept.

3. I've just discovered my one good dress has lots of little pulls in the fabric. Darn cat must have climbed it. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

[solarpluvia]

1 - I don't own a single dress or skirt. I think that they make me look shorter and rounder than I already am.

2 - Damn birds have decided to nest in the eaves on the other side of the wall of my bedroom. And they cheep ALL DAMN DAY! Anyone have any ideas how I can get rid of them?

3 - I hate birds and they seem to know this. I've never hunted my own food, but I may have to go after these birds. I do believe that if one kills an animal, one should eat it. However, I don't think it applies to insects.

[littlebird]

1. As of today, I am an ordained minister, legal to perform weddings, baptisms, absolutions of guilt, everything but circumcisions. God bless the internet.

2. Today I bought a really cute dressy dress, which is exciting because although i wear lots of skirts, i wear them how most people wear jeans, very casual, dressed down. it's a black frilly cocktail dress with tiny white polka dots. i also got some long dangly silver earrings. now i am waiting for a good occasion to dress up. maybe the next time i officiate a wedding?

3. Another today fact- I have begun to move home, which is the next step in my adventure to move to chicago and persue my dreams. it makes my heart happy.

[siafu]

1-i need a cat sitter

2-i have lost my elmers glue.

3-i want a tinted chapstick but i can't find one.

[fiore_957]

1) I'm terrified of zombies. I don't know why.
2) I defy my eye doctor by wearing my glasses all the time even though I don't have to and really shouldn't.
3) I know it's impossible, but I really think I could drink a whole gallon of sweet tea in one go.

1. Such a hectic week, to add to it my childhood friend is staying for the week, so not only do I have to do 3 weeks of homework this week, I have to entertain her and drive her around.

Perhaps because they are rotting corpses that walk around and attack people. Seems reason enough.

1. I made my first sushi on Sunday. The first roll was a disaster. The second was not bad.

2. I'm going to make tabouli tonight (again a first, but should be easier than the sushi).

3. My weekend starts tonight. Yay!

[kasey]

1. I am heading to Austin for a roadtrip on thurday in my brand new car. YAY! Sorry . . . I am a little excited

2. I drank a little too much last night at a meeting and am a little rough for work today, but it was worth it.

3. I talk to myself way too much.

[sivatonight]

1) My husband and I, when our lease at our current apartment is up on July 31st, are dreaming of moving into a loft apartment.

2) I eat chicken ramen noodles for breakfast almost every day.

3) My cat work me up at four AM today by biting my feet very hard. Needless to say, I am very angry with her.

[dorsia]

- I am petrified of tidal waves
- I was born in Oklahoma but grew up in Southern California (quite a change)
- I think men in suits are sexy

[satyavati.dd]

1. It's 125AM. i have to be at work at 2AM for a nurses meeting. i don't like doing this. i could write fifteen pages on work ethic and work practices tonight, but i will spare you. Let's just say that in most places, the nurses who work 11-7 (and i was always an 11-7 nurse) had their meetings at 7AM.

2. i wish i could just be a housewife. Not that i don't enjoy work (my current job circumstances excepted) but i am more tired of feeling like i ought to be apologising or guilty because my priority is my home life and my husband. i am tired of working with women who put in 60 hours a week simply because they don't want to go home to whatever rotten situation they have there. And expect me to put in 60 hours a week, too. i am tired of being picked on because i get googly over my husband and we've been married eleven years. i am tired of feeling like there's something wrong with me because he's my first priority, and sick of hearing women meow at me because i'm not some dominating She Ra who runs the household.

3. i'm really glad i don't have to work on Friday, but we will be very busy with the Monster House around here. It will be very nice when it's done and we can do something on a weekend besides build, clean, rearrange and paint.

[stargal1998]

3. I lit a sparkler decorated like a flower last night and danced around.
4. My boyfriend bought General Tso's Chicken and Burbon chicken home last night... oooh, lunch is already calling to me.

1. i just signed up for classes at the community college today. i'm taking english, algebra (bleh!), french, and world religions. i'm pretty excited!! i was worried i'd have problems, being a high school dropout and under 18..but everything went fine. hooray! now i'm just worried about being able to handle school. again.

2. my 16 year-old brother just left for a prayer vigil for a friend of his that was killed in a drunk driving accident. i didn't know him, but i'm just thinking..about how horrible it would be if someone i knew died..  i really don't appreciate life enough sometimes..

3. a couple friends kidnapped me last night, and we walked all around town for 4 hours. it was really nice..random and unexpected.

1. I am currently using an ancient computer with a 16 color monitor. I had forgotton how crappy things were five or six years ago.

3. Buying food for 20 teenagers and 2 of us is a daily job, frequently requiring the temporary theft of a shopping cart. Or two.

[satyavati.dd]

1. i have some vague, nameless anxiety tonight that is preventing me from sleeping. It's job-related. i decided to go back on some medication for a while to see if that helps it.

2. Since we(i) redid the floor in the new bedroom to lino tile, the dog is having a hard time jumping on the bed. She has a steel pin in one of her hind legs (when we got her, the leg was broken and she needed the pin to repair it) and so, even though it doesn't give her any trouble, it's 2" shorter than the other, and i feel sorry for her, so i've been lifting her up to put her on the bed. We really have to get an area rug so she can do it herself.

3. i recently found my favourite cartoon of all time on DVD. The Japanese original is called Gatchaman, and in its first release in the US it was a pretty heavily edited (for violence) version called Battle of the Planets. It was eventually pulled and later re-released in a new, edited-and-sanitised-to-the-point-of-non-recognition version called G Force. The nice thing about these DVDs is that they have all three versions of the same episodes, so you can see how heavily they were cut. Who says we don't have censorship here?

[nymphette]

satyavati.dd:
i am freaking out here- nobody (except me and my brother) in the world (well, MY world) has EVER heard of g-force/battle of the planets!!!!!!!!!!!!! we used to watch it every day after school!!! so cool that someone else has heard of it, makes me think i may NOT be crazy... jason, mark, tiny, princess and .... hm... kee-ops??? i was actually just searching for a vhs copy of ANYTHING g-force last month- my brother's birthday was today and wanted it for him...http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

and since i am here:

1: my baby fingers are crooked to the point of both looking like they had been broken and set improperly....

2: my favorite (alcoholic) drink is southern comfort with grapefruit juice and grenadine....

3: i never studied in high school and still made the honor roll... i wish i had though i could have gotten a scholarship... oh well, i guess if i had become an english/art teacher, i wouldnt' have had my two wonderful children, so it's all good!!!!

1. It's hot here. Damn bloody hot. It's not even 10 a.m and I'm sweating to death.

2. Today, at 6 p.m, I have a dentist appointment. My bad tooth became sensitive again. I really, really hope that the dental clinic is not dirty, messy and unfriendly like the main health-care prog. medical center (and this city in general, for that matter).

3. I don't feel like reading books these days. It's bad. Really bad. I'm a comparative literature major and I have essays and seminars to write. About books.

2. I bought a dozen beeswax votive candles yesterday.

[Bugitha]

1. My computer desk is a $15 thrift store find I painted a glorious shade of marigold with black trim.

2. As a child I thought the best job in the world had to belong to the person who got to think up creative names for crayon and yarn colors.

3. I've been studying for the GRE and all its done for me is rekindle my aversion to standardized tests. I've never tested well and such exams have never been indicative of how well I've done in school--not that I believe much in letter-grading systems either, but I'll spare you that rant for now. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

2. I go see the other doctor on Thursday.

3. I hate being crippled, and hopefully I don't have to have surgery on my knee.!!!!!!

1. I just got "Gattica" and "Life is Beautiful" vids out from the library because I love them both and have the power to subject... um, expose my science campers to them.

2. It's all cold and cloudy, defeating the whole purpose of moving to the beach for the summer.

3. This town is full of absurdly tame whitetail deer. It's on the edge of a park, so it's a no hunting area. The deer mow lawns with impunity! (Is that a word? Hmmm...)

[mejaka]

1. We chanced getting into the nest boxes and counted the kits today (born just before or during our 4th of July holiday trip). Godiva had five, three surviving. Cadbury (Divey's mother) had eight--EIGHT. That doubles her usual litter. One was dead, and two were very weak, so she has five healthy kits. We buried the dead ones in the rough area of the yard. (Divey and Caddie are rabbits, if you're wondering).

2. MY PANTS CAME HOME! (A Nness project that has taken a year but worth it, and this topic was born as an exercise for the participants of that LMAO). They look great! Even better, this week's monthly women's meeting for my church is on art (with many of us displaying), and I have the GREATEST pair of pants to wear to it.

3. I took third for my age category in the Independence Day 2-mile run. :^ ) (They call it the Melba QRU Fun Run...but it really isn't that fun to run two miles on 37-year-old knees in the summer with no shade anywhere).

[stargal1998]

1. I might be getting a new home 'puter soon. I'll be replacing a 300 megahertz Pentium II with a Pentium III 800 or 900 megahertz system. Eventually, I can get a flat panel monitor and use my other machine for Unix or as server space...
2. We're getting this machine from my boyfriend's uncle who bought it, used it for a month, then went to a Pentium IV, and he's only asking $100.
3. It has a built in burner (I currently have an Iomega external Zip CD) which means that I can read CDs once I have burned them! And it has a floppy drive that works (mine burned out almost 2 years ago)
(and, because I am so excited here is one more thrown in)
4. I'll be able to start my computer and begin using it within 5 minutes (no blue screen to screw me up or restarts)!!! I'll be able to work on my website, and edit pictures and video from my mini-DV camera (Eventually, I have to get firewire). I'll be able to play games that I have bought and not been able to use, like Tropico, Survivor and the Sims Online. I'll be able to finally let myself buy CSI:The Game and play it as much as I want! And all of the software I currently have will work on the new machine... WOO HOO!!!!

5. If you couldn't tell, I am really excited.. and I don't know when we're getting it, I just know that we're giving him the money tomorrow!

[littlebird]

1. Right now, I'm eating a cold soup- potato and cucumber dill, and a salad of shredded carrots, sprouts, tomatoes, cottage cheese and honey dijon dressing. It sounds a little weird, but it's damn good.

2. When I was little, there were two years when i would only eat bananas and sweet potatoes. My sister had a year where she would only eat toast fingers.

3. When I lived in the dorm, we liked the food at the cafeteria, but hated eating there because it was smelly and uncomfortable. We devised an ingenious system of smuggling very large amounts of food out and then we would take them back up to our dorm room and throw "banquets" for everyone on our hall. Good times.

[naiviv]

I. i hang out at the forums waaay too seldom...

II. i can't sleep with the underside of my wrists facing up. it's too fragile, it creeps me out.

III. i've never been in love. yet.

[unknown_to_the_world]

This is fun...

1. I have a scar over my left eye because when I was in the seventh grade, my pen cap flew off, I bent down to pick it up from my desk and hit my head on the corner of the desk next to mine. You can see it when I get upset.

2. I once had a cat named John the Baptist. Though I wanted to name it oreo, my mother thought it wouldn be a good idea since it ate grasshoppers as a kitten.

3. I got a reputation at school for being a tough girl because my best friend called me Woolf. The ironic thing is that I am a very quiet, introverted person... I was given the nickname after my favorite poet- Virginia Woolf.

[chunkymonkey]

I. I'm bored...a lot.

II. I'm bisexual.

III. I have read ever single rolling stone book that my library owns.

blah, boring mood=boring answers. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[naiviv]

because chunkymonkey used roman numbers too:

I. i am never ever bored [honestly] - for which i am very grateful.

II. i'm also bisexual.

III. i sometimes wonder if i am insane. but then i think that insane people surely never wonder about such things, so i feel safe. besides, i don't think it would be so bad to be my type of insane...

[Dalmaney]

1. I tried rowing for the first time on Sunday, and it was really fun. Even though I am uncoordinated and out of shape.

2. I have broken my coffee addiction for the summer, in the hopes that by fall caffiene will have more of an effect on me again.

3. I just watched "Gattica" with my kids. "My kids". I say that all the time... that's right, at the moment, I have 19 teenage kids. You should see the grocery bill.

[Meadow]

Mmmm - thinking hard!!

1. It was my best friends birthday today and I shouted her a massage

2. I'm reading Harry Potter - book 5

3. My desk is so messy - you can't even see it. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

How do you shout a massage? Sounds interesting.

1. I went to the Farmer's market this morning. Bought an apple turnover for breakfast, spinach for salad tonight, and oyster mushrooms I still need to plot a suitable fate for.

2. I'm bisexual, but with a definite preference for women.

3. I've lived at 17 different addresses in my life

[MEGabyte857]

1. The ends of my pants are soaking becuase I was stupid enough to walk in the rain.
2. I'm watching Maury right now because I have nothing better to do.
3. I'm really thirsty right now and could go for some red gatorade. yummm

[Bugitha]

1. I have 10 pairs of shoes but only wear 3 of them with any regularity. Most girls I know have more shoes than me. Most boys I know, don't.

2. Yesterday I had a major reorganizing session and spent 4 hours going through old files, weeding out the useless stuff, refiling and relabeling the important stuff and putting my paper shredder to good use.

3. I don't normally wear make up and so when I do (like today) I spent the whole day touching my face or rubbing my eyes, forgetting the make-up until I see it rubbed off on my fingers. How elegant.

[nymphette]

hmm...

1: i haven't cleaned my kitchen sink for a month... and it's blinding me in the sunlight- i bleached it, comet-ed it, windexed it and used pledge (yes, pledge on stainless steel) on it a month ago and just dry it after i wash dishes... it's beautiful...

2: yes, i get excited over housework and helpful housework hints... heloise is my hero... http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif (i need to get out more...)

3: i just found an envie i was supposed to send to hammerquill about a month ago-i thought my husband had sent it... i'm not a bad nervouser, just have a hubby who doesnt' think it is as important as it is... i need a new mailer!!!

[chunkymonkey]

I. I finally finished deco'ing two notebooks for lmao's.

II. I have the windows open for the first time in about 2 weeks. The fresh air is just lovely.

III. I am making vegetarian stuffed peppers for dinner.

*edited for massive typos.

[Bugitha]

1. Rats. My birthday plans for tomorrow just fell through.

2. I once shot myself in the foot (with a pellet gun).

3. Although I tried very hard, I never quite mastered the art of juggling.

[solarpluvia]

1 - I am so behind on all of my nness projects. This has been the worst summer, symptomatically speaking, that I have ever had and it had sucked all creative urge and ability out of me. It is terrible that artmaking, which used to be so pleasurable for me, has become onerous and stressful.

2 - I had a really good day today though. Saw the new Charlie's Angels movie and did some fun shopping. Apparantly it was my day, because I found a Microsoft Natural Keyboard marked down from 35 to 21 dollars and two Polaroid cameras in great working order - a 600 and a Spectra!

3 - Each day last weekend we watched a season (6 episodes) of BBC's As Time Goes By (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006AUHA/qid=1057918173/sr=2-4/ref=sr_2_4/002-7292149-7525610). We are halfway into season 3 now. I love British comedies, so much funnier than US stuff. Less contrived, more quirky.

[chunkymonkey]

I. eating a big plate of lo mein noodles for lunch right now. yummy.

II. recieved 12 packages in the mail today. Bout time!! http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

III. smoked my first cigarette in months last night. tisk tisk.

[stargal1998]

1. I received no mail today, except for an ad to self magazine and a dating service application addressed to "current single resident." Since I am not single, I wonder if I should fill it out for my cat...

2. I need to watch Aeon Flux tonight... I love that show.

3. My boyfriend left for a business trip yesterday and I have the house to myself for an entire week.. aaaggghhH!

[Dalmaney]

1. Today I taught my coworker to make rice crispie squares.
2. I love my "work". This weekend, work consists of playing some Ultimate, having a BBQ, making some hemp necklaces, and going on a pontoon cruise. And some enforcement work, but hey, it's worth it.
3. I want mail sooo badly. And as such, I'm doing more around here than I have in a long time.

[naiviv]

I. today i made someone laugh and that made me happy. i think i do this every day, but this particular time it pleased me more than usual.

II. and i wrote to my best friend and told her that i miss her and she wrote back and said she missed me too and we've arranged to meet in the city the 15th. this also makes me happy.

III. someone put me on her list of people who make her happy and wrote that i was unique. this also made me happy...

good times, good times...

[jade]

a. I worked 35 hours total in 4 days. That's big for me since I only work 20 hours in a week because of uni.

b. I'm dead tired. I slept from 8 pm to 6 pm this morning.

c. It's Saturday morning and I want to go to work again. Workaholic?!! I hope not.

[hammerquill]

1. My car decided I would take most of today off from work to fix its brakes. Oh joy. {Turned out a part made of thick steel, with no stress on it whatsoever, that has, in short, no excuse for breaking in the next century, had broken. Typical weirdness from this car. I was able to fix it well enough to see me through till I can find a proper replacement. How do people who don't have metalworking shops ever work on their own cars?}

2. Normally I'd make up the time I lost at work on the weekend, but this weekend I'm going to be spending (almost in its entirety) at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival.

3. My back was not up to working on the car (though it turned out not to be that bad a job) and will not be up to sitting in a theatre all that time either. Not that this'll stop me from going, mind you.

[chunkymonkey]

I. sitting here wondering how many times a day I can post three facts. lol

II. my girlfriend just sent me this instant message: "i have an ice bag on my leg...and to hold it on...i tied a bra around it lol"

III. I like to dress up in weird hats and sunglasses I have found at thrifts when I am bored. I look like elton john right now. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[mejaka]

1. Just returned from Stephen D'Arc's memorial service, where the following comment by the Bishop John Stott struck me: "Finding a new Sunday School teacher will be easy. The difficult thing is to find a new friend." He's lying about the Sunday School teacher. Well, half-lying. The process is simple. But nobody can adequately replace Bro. D'Arc--a brilliant mind, well-read, broadly educated (formally and informally), culturally and historically aware, a scientist and artist (woodturning, painting, calligraphy, photography, metalwork and jewelry, among other things), an incredible wit, and an intense fascination with it all. There was no casket, as Steven offered himself first to surgical miracles and second to scientific inquiry. Typical.

2. Learned at the funeral that a good friend is moving to Seattle (well, Bothell)--leaves for a trip to Italy Wednesday, home Aug 2, and will be moving Aug 3 as her husband starts work there Aug 4. At least it's not overseas--we were afraid that's what it would come to...

3. I love lemon freezes.

[chunkymonkey]

http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif   have to go to work in an hour

http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif  its the weekend and although I promised myself i would get pen pal letters and other things like that done. Really done. I probably won't. Lol. I will use the other two random facts as excuses.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am more tan this summer than I've been in years.
2. I hate that I like my tan. My head knows that it's not healthy to tan... and I still love it. It's a total contradiction.
3. I'm going to go make rhubarb crisp, because I love it and my ravenous horde will devour anything I make.

[Alma]

This is fun http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. I used to be a university professor.
2. I used to sing with a friend in a coffee shop.
3. I am making soap right this minute. lol.

three things?

1. I dont remember ever not being able to read

2. Although I don't care for country music I love Pam Tillis

3. I love dipping my Mcdonalds french fries in my choclate milkshake.

[unknown_to_the_world]

http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I also like dipping my french fries into my chocolate shake.

http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif I once won a new car through reader's digest, but couldn't keep it because I was only twelve.

http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif I learned to play mental chess at the age of eight. (fun stuff for a geek like me!)

[ericsbehbeh999]

Hey this is cool! Hope ya like mine, here goes!

1. I just got back from sneaking out of the house to eat some Taco Bell with my boyfriend, it was quite thrilling http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif .

2. I am wearing shorts right now, which I usually never wear. They bother me so very much.

3. I have a bunny rabbit named Peter, and he is a Dutch rabbit. Very cool.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">1. I dont remember ever not being able to read

[/b][/quote]
1. I remember very well being unable to read and desperately wanting to learn. I begged my mother to teach me but she refused because she didn't want to teach me the "wrong way" and cause problems for me when I started school. One of my favorite games was pretending to read--I'd line up my stuffed animals, open a book, and make up a story to "read" to them. Finally, my brother started kindergarten (I was a year younger than him) and he would come home and teach me the alphabet and show me how to write and things which satisfied me until I could start school.

2. Houses with no books in them somehow seem very sad to me.

3. I had to call in sick to work today because although I feel better than I have in days, today is the day I lost my voice--and since I work in a call center, that, um, won't really work.

[unknown_to_the_world]

Uno: I've had seven last names in my life.

Dos: watermelon makes me pee like a racehorse.

Tres: I have a weird fedish for hot wax on my fingertips.

Darn im bored so yeah here goes.....

1. Unfortunatly, I had to clean up puke at work today in the men's restroom....

2. I have naturally curly hair.

3. When you pick up my cat, no matter what, she makes a very low pitched growling sound the whole time that you hold her, and it gets louder and louder untill you put her down.

[peacechik55]

1- i went on a road trip this week to carlsbad caverns, AZ, among other places

1. Houses with no books in them scare me to death. It now occurs to me, someone once said a room without books is like a body without a soul; just think of the implications, based on stories about people without souls...

2. A few years ago I was asked by a 20-year-old (or so) young woman "how do you have the patience to read a whole book like that? I could never do that." This floored me, and left me gasping. L'esprit de l'escalier later told me the answer was "It's a question of finding the patience to get through everything else so I can get back to my book."

3. I am currently rereading The Once and Future King for the first time since I was twelve or thereabouts.

1. i bought a skirt from the sale rack today..originally $48..marked down to $4!! it is black with black lace. its very..goth. haha. i love it.

Houses without books are buildings, but they are not homes! And I am also reading "The Once and Future King" only its my first time...

1. I've got the house to myself until thursday, and I can't say I'm sad... I've got lots of time to do all the things I normally don't do.

2. I'm dogsitting my neighbor's neighbor and though this dog is a chocolate lab she is much more rambuncious than our black lab (she's 10 months, ours is 6 months) and I like her, but she jumps too much.

3. I got to spend Sunday with my best friend, whose going back to Germany with her hubby on the 26th. Though we only spent a few days together, I'm going to miss her terribly...It was good to finally talk about all the things I never could talk to her about before, including when I had been sick...

lol, bugitha ~ I do that too, all the time.

1. My vacation to Seattle rocked! I had lots of fun and spent way too much money. The trip was nicknamed "The Succinct Flatulence Tour" which came about after a few nights of drunken rambling conversations.

2. I find old, abandoned barns to be quite regal and beautiful.

3. I am quite happy to discover that Chris and I travel well together. I think that when couples that can travel together without wanting to strangle each other, it really says something about the relationship.

[Dalmaney]

1. I love the word "bunnyhug", and the fact that it is peculiar to the dialect spoken only in Saskatchewan.

2. Today I went and raided a beautiful costume collection for 60's gear to wear in a parade next weekend.

3. I am missing everything I love about my hometown in summer. Especially the Fringe Festival. It seems it's hard to live down a really good summer the next year...

[chunkymonkey]

I. I MISSED the forums so much. I think I check in about 100 times today.

II. I recieved just about the best collage packet ever in the mail today from Misty Nielsen.

III. Finally got my printer/scanner/fax/copier today. I have been a printing machine today. I am almost out of ink already.

[VeronicasLovebug]

lets see here...what to post... :)

1. My place of employment isn't anywhere near as much fun as it's cracked out to be lol...

2. I will be going to new jersey in october to visit a very special lady :D

3. I'm addicted to string cheese! :D

[Seusomon]

2. I'm flying to Toronto on Friday. YAY!

3. The plants I put in my garden last weekend are still doing fine, despite a major heat wave here.

2. My rat Ekhi kept me up till 5am last night with her loud attempts to escape her cage.

3. I can tell by looking at someone's zip code what state they are in.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am currently reading Harry Potter V, but only when my students are at school and I can steal it.

2. My unbaked cookies are way too sticky. Fortunately, people don't seem to mind too much. Still, it's really annoying me that I seem to have lost my touch. It seems not making things for a few years can really dull my ability to do it right.

3. Unbaked cookies seem to have the most names of any food in existance: fiddle-diddles, macaroons, shit cookies, etc. For the record, I'm talking about the things where you boil up sugar and milk, add cocoa and oatmeal and raisins, and plop the stuff on wax paper where it's SUPPOSED to harden. Maybe I need to boil it a bit longer next time... :blink:

[nuKKe]

1. I started reading book of Job today, for a paper I have to write for school.

2. Up until Jr. High I really loved reading the bible, but then I was transfered to a semi-religious Jr. High that managed to turn both me and my brother off anything related to Judaism.

3. My copy of the bible is filled with Bad Religion quotes and circled A's.

*** I really should do some biblical studies and read the book. After all, the bible has had a greater influence on Western culture than the Homeric epics, Don Quixote and the new testament altogether. Shame on me. No, shame on the education system that taught me to hate it.

[FearfulPenguin]

1. kasey's 3 facts just made me laugh loads!!

2. I was reminiscing with friends about our good old school days and it has cheered me up a lot.

3. My dad just looked at my artwork and i think he was quite impressed with some of it, even if he was a little confused by the concept :)

[kasey]

glad to hear I could make you laugh! Sad thing is i really did just notice my fly was down as i was typing. i am all about making good impressions at work.

2- I still have a ways to go to get to where I want to be, which is by no means a supermodel thin. I like a bit of curves on me.

3- I have weird cravings since I started eating healthy like lettuce with honey drizzled on it and salmon with pickles. Could I be pregnant??? Nope, got the cramps that say otherwise...

2. When I was in 7th grade, I knew the properties of all the subatomic particles that were known at that time. (By the time I was studing particle physics in college, I had forgotten most of it.)

3. When I was in 7th grade, the school cafeteria produced milkshakes that were so thick and congealed that you could plop them upside down out of the cup and they would just sit on the table without changing shape.

1. When I was in 6th grade, I went to state with my science project which recieved a purple ribbon (higher than blue).

2. When I was in 8th grade, I recieved a failing grade from my science teacher for just not doing a science project, which had been our entire grade for that period.

3. When I was in 7th grade, I was Becky Thatcher in our school play "Tom Sawyer". I can still sing most of the music to it.

1) When I was four, I wanted to be a cowgirl.
2) From when I was 10 until 17, I wanted to be a teacher.
3) From 17 until now, I have no idea what I want to do. Maybe I should investigate the cowgirl option?

1. I don't recall ever having had a milkshake before this year!
2. A coworker of mine adores all my Nness stuff, and wants me to get her Pucca Stickers and butterfly stickers...
3. The same lady (who has trust issues) said she considers me a friend... Guess that means I'll be making a sanrio run this weekend!

1. I just finished Harry Potter 5, which I borrowed from one of the students who has to work all day. Suckas!

2. I have post-book finishing let down. I'm undriven and without direction, and wish that HP5 had been even longer than the 700 pages it was.

3. I miss my friends. They all turn out to be really sucky emailers.

1. when i was four years old i announced i was going to be an archaeologist. Despite this, i went to school (the first time) for graphic design and then dropped out after eighteen months. It took me five years from then to go back to school, this time for nursing, and then went back a second time to get my RN. Despite all this, if i ever finish out my bachelors' degree, it will be in geology. Maybe i should have just listened to me when i was four.

2. i am getting very anxious waiting to hear about this job interview i went to yesterday.

3. i love things with my name on them.

1. Today Brett and I have been married 16 years.

2. Among the members of Brett's and my immediate families (parents and siblings only), the following languages are spoken: English (all of us), Spanish (three of us), Chinese, Korean, French, Latin, German, and American Sign. In addition, one brother is currently in Brasil, where he will spend a year and a half and come home fluent in Portuguese.

3. I burned the bottoms of my feet putting the canoe on top of the van while it was parked on hot blacktop. Note to self: don't drive to the lake without shoes.

2. I'm addicted to string cheese :) :blink:

3. I need to take a bath...i worked all day in the heat...ohh....and i hate sweating! :) :huh: :blink:

[philosofialogos]

1. My cat just brought me a "sock offering". I'm evidently her goddess, as she does this on a daily basis and alerts me with a loud bleeting meow in the key of C.

2. The back of my legs are sticking to this wooden chair and I will have painful indentions when I stand up.

3. I'm a whimp when it comes to confrontation. I avoided it twice today. Once was that I couldn't tell a professor from another school that was borrowing our facilities (without permission) that he and his students should leave. The other time was when I couldn't bring myself to disagree verbally with my co-worker's statement that the Bible says that people who commit suicide are going to hell.
