Three random facts:

When I try to picture Helquin as a Marine recruiter.... he's in full dress uniform and breaking it down to KC and the Sunshine Band. "Play that funky music white boy" :lol:

OK library is kicking me off. Time to check out!

Happy tofu turkey day all you vegetarians! :D

[Helquin]

Do a little dance.

Make a little love.

Get down tonite!

:lol:

"In the Navy, you can sail the seven seas. In the Navy, Helquin can read your beads."

LOL I am goofy today

we had tornadoes this morning after I had left for work...I wonder if I have a house to go home to.

I've been asked not to do that any more. :lol:

We are having a freakish flash of sunshine after a dreary rainy day.

Snow. Agh! It's in our forecast for tomorrow morning. That ought to make the drive to Dry Bone loads of fun... <_<

The first snow always makes people drive like idiots. Well, other people. :lol:

[velma]

Howdy y'all. If any of youse guys is innerested in publicity for your work, go here: velma's new zine (http://nervousness.org/lmao/index.cgi?id=15895).

it's raining; there's a fire going; i have christmas lights up

all i need is a glass of eggnog

[ebandit]

I will trade tornadoes for snow any day

sorry Helquin, I was looking for a rhyme..and that was as close as I got!

I wonder what velma is writing (okay so she finished before I did!)

[siafu]

law

cotton

hammer

[Helquin]

I didn't know Alabama had a lot of tornado activity.

The Randi Rhodes radio show is a hoot. Her producer is such a flamer! :lol:

I spent this morning reading about forecasts of financial "armegeddon." Yikes. I thought we were re-enacting 1938, but it may in fact be 1929.

People who study such things say: reduce or eliminate debt; invest in gold; arm yourself.

:blink:

[velma]

make art
make love
make chocolate chip cookies

[Larrissa]

quit your bitching

quit your job

quit your worrying

[Helquin]

Yes, ma'am! :lol:

[velma]

I like to bitch!
I never worry.
And I already quit my job! :P

[gwensmom]

My mother came over and helped me pull up the impatiens and plant iris and daffodil bulbs for spring and pansies for winter color now.

She brought me a turkey sandwich too!

I had a list of 4 things to do today and I have only done 1.

[Lorrell]

It really doesn't seem like any holiday here at all. The weather won't even get cold enough. I'm still sweating and feel like I should be in a swimsuit at the beach.


I have a letter for V. and should probably take it over to her. Nothing else in the mail


Hope everyone made it though those tornado's OK. El nino is promising some strange weather this winter.

[velma]

It really doesn't seem like any holiday here at all. The weather won't even get cold enough. I'm still sweating and feel like I should be in a swimsuit at the beach.

go ahead--rub it in!!

[Lilac]

I've been having flashes of nervous hysteria over this whole "meet the parents" thing tomorrow.

Everytime I feel as if I'm going to have a panic attack, I log in here.

You guys are my security blanket! :wub:

[velma]

a warm and fuzzy blanket, right?

so, i'm out of the loop---whose family are you meeting tomorrow? and why are you so nervous?

3 questions instead of 3 facts, but what the hell...

[Lilac]

Meeting my current beau's parents.

Thanksgiving with the extended family in Hoboken, NJ.

I need a valium!

[Helquin]

I once had a memorable thanksgiving in Hoboken. Or was it Hackensack? :huh:

I was introduced to jalapeno peppers stuffed with peanut butter.

My other memory of that girl is that she caught a scarf on fire in her dorm room.

Now she would have had a valium to share! :lol:

But not me.

[velma]

Jeez, if I'd known earlier, I coulda sent you something!

But, how could they not love you??

I've been in a very similar position, though, so I know from whence cometh your anguish!

[hammerquill]

We did make it in to San Francisco this time - Thursday afternoon and evening.

I took Eve out for ice cream at Ghirardelli Square...

I was going to post a picture of her at the ice cream parlor, but she's threatened dire consequences if I do.

[velma]

it's still raining
my computer just got hijacked by aliens
i fought them hard, and wrested it away

[ebandit]

Mmmmm ice cream at Ghirardelli Square..sounds like chocolate heaven

I am tired

I am eady to go home!

[bluecrayon]

He's off with the other part of the triangle meeting HER parents...

I HAVE met his brothers -- does that count?

I will meet siafu and Heidi tomorrow -- and that's sweet!!! :)

(and it was sweet, even if I posted Ms Heidi's name wrong! :) )

[bluecrayon]

So Eve finally makes it across the bridge to my city and I am not there because I am "There"

sigh.

I seem always to be missing the bright colors.

[Larrissa]

whooo! im happy that other nnessers are getting together :)

and um, i quit my job. sara was so furious she wouldnt speak to me there for awhile :mellow:

i vaccuumed, her mom and brother will be here soon.

[velma]

i want to meet some nessers!
i'm going south in jan or feb, then again in april.
i'm ready

[bluecrayon]

My time on this library computer is just about up.

I am off to volunteer at a soup kitchen.

Happy Thanksgiving all you wonderful nervous people! :)

[Zhenechka]

The Economist is not a good source for pictures.

My anti-Bush ATCs are kind of ghetto.

I would bead them to kick them up a notch, but seed beads and Bush don't seem like a good match.

[tanagee]

I have not eaten all day because my mommy came by this morning to help me clean house and I didn't want to look like a slacker.

My kitchen is spotless...how do I convince the hubby we have to eat out so it doesn't get dirty until tomorrow??

I saw my OB/GYN yesterday, he said we have to wait a couple months before trying to plant another seed. But my self-imposed window is closing...I am gonna be 35 in 10 months!

Bonus: we are having perfect Thanksgiving weather...in the high 60's during the day, 40's overnight.

I'm doing my grocery shopping tomorrow instead of on Saturday.

There is no ballet tonight so I am going to the movies with my momma.

My mother keeps some gardening gloves, shears, and a few small gardening tools in her car at all times in case she needs them while she's out.

I wonder if Lilac has worked herself into a nervous lather by now?

[soliloquy]

1. i cannot buy cds that aren't under $14 or let anyone buy me cds that aren't under $14.
2. my birthday is tomorrow and i hate that it is on thanksgiving because i'm a vegetarian.
3. my brother wants to get online and i refuse!

No, Lilac has consumed three glasses of wine and is feeling just *hic* fine! :lol:

Wondering why Larrissa quit her job...knowing I won't find out until Monday.

Wishing everyone a glorious Thanksgiving.

Yes - even you guys up in Canada!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

stuff must done

going to try to leave town in 4 hours. hmmm...i don't really see that happening

i'm paralysed with stress. i hope family will avoid the drama this year. it's not likely :P

[siafu]

she says we have no pie pan

how the eff can that be?

someone is going to get a crustless pie

[Zhenechka]

All this talk of pies makes me want one.

The stray didn't come by for food. I wonder where he is.

Everyone changed their avatars last evening. Schnazzy!

[Lorrell]

A huge thunderstorm rolled in last night, and it rained and rained


I like the sound of the rain when I'm reading a great book in bed.


NO turkey cooking going on here, just resting and peace.

[ebandit]

I missed the avatar change..

I must change my avatar!

Today is American Thanksgiving. (We wish a good day to the Canadians also.and everyone else too!

[Lorrell]

I'm thankful I'm still alive and have J & V.


I'm thankful I don't have to cook some poor turkey or make some mess in the kitchen


I'm thankful I don't have to meet or greet anyone's relatives, including my own.

[gwensmom]

I am thankful that I am about to go take a nap.

I am thankful for a day of rest.

I didn't have to buy many groceries today because people have given us food.

[Helquin]

Happy [U.S.] Thanksgiving to all! :)

I'm thankful for you. Yes, YOU! :lol: Ya big cutie.

You've got to be more fun than my family. :rolleyes:

Big day today... Oy!

[Zhenechka]

As I approached the Cinematheque Ontario box office today, the cute dweeby guy who is always there was noting that both screenings of The Battle for Algiers were now sold out.

I was kind of counting on that film to push me out of my November blahs.

I'm taking recommendations.

[Larrissa]

"one can never get out of hand unless they set that limit for themselves. and wheres the fun in limits." ack! :unsure:

we are all sitting around knitting together

i still have three postcards sitting here on the desk, and the senders havent been thanked yet

I finished the last of that casserole that turned out badly. The dog helped me.

I wonder how Lilac is doing about now.

[siafu]

we have no turkey roaster. we are going to the store to buy one.

the pie looks good.

i want cool whip but said want is being pooh poohed.

[Lorrell]

Went out to brunch with J. He's thinking of taking his vacation time during Christmas. Nine days he gets, he should reconsider.


I told him not to even think about doing anything for my birthday. I'll be going to see "The Phantom of the Opera" with V. She showed me the tickets last night.


I just got finished watching the National Dog Show which reminded me how I couldn't ever have a dog because of that human bitch.

[Larrissa]

cool whip deserves respect! RESPECT! i love cool whip.

i baked a chocolate cake and made frosting and am going to make stuffing too.

ummmm, yeeeea.

[Larrissa]

such blunt honesty: hard to breathe

it was just an email

:blink: :blink: :blink:

[siafu]

uh oh. breathe, yo!

someone took cans and bottles back to be able to buy me cool whip :wub:

i should repaint my nailsl

[Helquin]

I'm thankful for Lee Morgan. "Sidewinder." Yes. B)

Turkey Day was a relatively painless ritual.

Date Guy wants to watch Survivor together. <_<

Is one obligated to get dolled up when the interest just ain't there?

Ha! :lol: Keep off of my yard! :yell:

[Larrissa]

helquins thing with his yard makes me laugh folks.

i should go do stuff

i knitted and crossstitched alot today

[Lorrell]

I wouldn't blame Helquin at all about the yard. Since the freaking orchid thief was here, I will run out with a shovel and attack any stranger in my yard

I'm thinking of putting up a web cam in my greenhouse.


Extra security by carniverous pit bulls and instead of all those cutsey lil "Welcome Signs" stuff that stays "Keep Out or Die!" and "No Trespassing AssHats!"

[Helquin]

"No Trespassing AssHats!"
:lol:

I'll take 2: one for the front door, one for the back.

[Larrissa]

:ph34r:

[Helquin]

oooh... mysterious edits! :ph34r:

Vanuatu. I just love that word! :D

Yeah: I'm a TV junkie. Sneer, you cultural elitists! :lol:

[namelessgirl]

She edited it away at my request.... too embarassing.

We survived Thanksgiving. Food was good. Company was great. Mess was minimal. Now it's time for movies and knitting. I don't want to go back to work tomorrow.

I am still all manner of confused, depressed, and hopeful... all at the same freaking time.

[Larrissa]

grawr. <_<

i <3 zigzag stitch

banana bread

[Christine_0701]

I got sweet_little_bullet's zine today, and it was inspiring

I s'pose now I must make a zine, to send her one, as promised :P

where to start?

[Zhenechka]

You should probably come up with a topic first.

The neighbor's cat licked the foamed milk knife clean.

She only likes milk if it's foamed.

My parents had Thanksgiving dinner at my brother's new house yesterday.

I'm homesick.

[Helquin]

Oh man: there's frost on the punkin today! It is COLD!

My mom's on the way to Chillicothe... we're going out for a late breakfast.

My computer mocks me. It's a long story... but now the screen displays a picture of a naked man at startup & shutdown and I can't figure out how to delete the darned thing. :rolleyes:

[namelessgirl]

Helquin, as long as the naked man doesn't start talking to you, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

My little hippie morals have been snapped in two. 80 cents a yard for flannel though!!! I actually spent no money today but let my mom buy me a few gifts. She was complaining about not having anything under the tree for me. I got fabric for my quilt, new scissors, and two pairs of pants. And a taquito from Whataburger :P

I drove by and they were there, and it made me sad. 4 streets of awkwardness. I wonder if my phone will ring today.

[Christine_0701]

a topic...I kind of know what's going in the zine, does that count? It's not really topiced, tho :huh:

I had a good sleep last night, finally

I got a 5 (out of 10) on my second article, and started to freak out, until I found out a 5 is a B- *phew*

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i'm still soooo tired. driving, too much driving with no sleep yesterday.

all went well. of course there had to be a bit of drama, but none of it directly involved me.

my mom loaded my car down with crap. she drove 4 hours with her car stuffed full of junk to pass on to me. i don't even know what all is in there. too tired to bother with it. i do know she gave us her christmas tree. it was too big for my little car, so the boy rode the 3 1/2 hours home with his feet on the dashboard. well, looks like we're gonna have a christmas tree this year. gotta start getting excited about that....

[Larrissa]

my heart hurts, and i blame me for it all the way.

i have a bite on my shoulder, yesterday it was purple, today its grey and red. its icky.

im cleaning my room so i can make more art.

[siafu]

bluecrayon came over and we had a good time.

she's super nice.

i'm glad she came over.

[Larrissa]

:D thats awesome. im so smiling at siafu and blue hanging out together

[velma]

I got off easy yesterday. Even though I did the cooking, my family had to sit in the parking lot that was the Mass Pike yesterday for nearly 3 hours. AND they cleaned up!

Eric & I will be eating turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, olives and pie till Monday.

I took formal portraits of everyone yesterday.

[Larrissa]

mmmm olives.

cranberries: i remember my dad took us to the side of a highway when i was little, to loot a semi truck that had fallen over and spilled bags of fresh cranberries, in a sweeping pile. he made wine with them.

cranberry orange relish: rocks my world. less than mister d, but we wont go into that.

[velma]

my grandfather had a cranberry bog

we used to step on the berries left by the harvester

they made a nice POP! sound under our feet

[Death_Or_Aldona]

gonna get some STUFF done today.

need to clean and package up some exchanges. i'm in need of a nap as well.

it was nice to see my grandma. she's having another surgery soon. i'm hoping we can make it in to spend some more time with her. it's taken me a long time to notice what a neat lady she is.

[Zhenechka]

I made my own cranberry vodka once.

I should really go fetch these books.

I've got a postcard to lose too.

[Larrissa]

i love it when a ho treats me like im stupid, rather than silly. it makes me smile. i can call her a ho if i want to! you should see her icon. shes teasing mister d in my space and damn if im gonna take it.

:rofl: oh my god.

lost it again

[Cellissimo]

One cat is sleeping, and the other one is eating.

I am inactive today.

I need to return my library books.

[nymphette]

hope everybody had a great thanksgiving!!!

nothing to say today... chris is home again today because he had his <snip> appointment yesterday.... so he's been laying around and whining about his pain and suffering... :P

i figure at 4 days of rest (2 off work and the weekend.. <_< ) for a ten minute in and out procedure, my c-section should qualify me for at least a 2 month vacation....


shyeah... in a perfect world i'll get 2 DAYS of rest..... and that isn't even likely!!!

[nymphette]

the ladies at admitting made my morning yesterday though... when we got there for chris to register, they asked 'where are you going today?' and he said 'i don't even know...' and they looked at each other and said 'dr. tse?'..... chris said 'uh.. yeah'.... they said 'yeah, we know that look.. we can always tell'.....
i was :rofl: kiling myself laughing!!!

chris said 'i didn't think i had any look on my face'.... i said every guy that came into that place today had LOOK on their face.... you'd think it was major surgery the way you all sat with your legs crossed waiting!!!!

anyhow, he's good for a chuckle.... :D :lol:

[Zhenechka]

I have an hour before I get to go home.

I read an incredibly useless article on Romantic drama in Bohemia.

I'd really like ice cream and brownies for dinner.

"Super nice"?????

shucks. Why can't I be super edgy. Super bluecrayonish. Super cool????

Oh well. siafu is "super" nice, too. But maybe just super -- everything! :)

[Zhenechka]

Being super nice is nothing to be scoffed at.

As Super Nice (dun dun DUN) you'll be the last super hero standing.

Because everyone turns on super edgy and super cool at the end the decade, but super nice is always in.

[ebandit]

I am feeling sympathy for Nymphette's CHRIS, poor fellow.

I wonder if Larrissa is going to need medical attention for that sholder bite-who bit her?

No major crisis this year for Thanksgiving. I am relieved that it is over. (no it isn't usually too bad..but ya never know!)

[Larrissa]

i suspect a tick of biting me.

i need a new dancing cat thing

im boring myself and being impatient

[tanagee]

I have been sitting here since 10ish working on my websites, and since they are not ready to go live, I have nothing to show for it.

A friend of ours registered a web address and wants me to design his site... I have never done one from scratch. All the ones I am doing now were designed by someone else and I am just doing the updates and stuff.

I have Dreamweaver MX, so it's not like I have to do EVERYTHING myself. :rolleyes:

********************************************************************

I had a fairly good Turkey Day.

I bought some Midori Sour tasting coolers to give me a little buzz and take my edge off. I am pretty high-strung, but only got a little edgy when I was trying to finish up the carving and setting the food out and almost everyone was in my kitchen. :wacko:

After saving a medium sized storage container of Stuffing I THREW AWAY the rest of the pan because there is only so many times you can eat suffing. I also threw away the rest of the green bean casserole because even though I like it, but my mom used the 'regular' green beans and I only like the French cut so I didn't eat it in the first place, plus no one else wanted to take it home.

I was going to throw away the rest of the apple pie (because it wasn't that good), and the rest of the cheesecake (because no one in this house needs to eat any of it) but I think my hubby took it to the shop to offer to the neighbors.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

My sink or dishwasher (I don't know which one) kinda backed up last night while cleaning up because my pipes sometimes don't drain so good. (I also think the really tiny cesspool (yuck) needs pumping.)

Normally if it does that it makes the toilets bubble to get air into the lines or into one of the tubs and it will drain away slowly, but last night since our one toilet is not on the sewage pipe it flooded the bathroom we JUST tore the floor out of AND since it got the dish towel we had plugging the pipe (to keep the stinky gases out) wet, the towel went down in to the pipe :o . Luckily my hubby was able to retrieve it otherwise we would be SCREWED!

So I couldn't run the dishwasher again, and today I have been washing like one or 2 things at a time over the course of the day to give the water the chance to soak in to what ever it soaks into.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Megan is supposed to be having her first sleepover guest, but I have not heard whether or not it is still happening.

Our friends have a 1 year-old daughter and the mom needs a night away from the baby so the dad is coming over and he and Ravyn are spending the night.

I didn't feel like serial posting so I just put them all in one post :P

[Lorrell]

I'm doing some more work on the crochet projects this evening.

I wonder about Larrissa's bite, I hope that it's not a spider. Beware of ticks and redbugs, they love to fall out of the oaks and Spanish Moss.

I have a mountain of clothing to pack.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

didn't get much stuff done. grrrrr

had a nice nap though :) not very refreshing...still quite sleepy. i can't believe how much yesterday took out of me.

i missed a phone call from my matty again. i always seem to miss his calls....

[Larrissa]

i ate at my old work, grilled stuffed burritos=goooood!

momma sent money

ummmmm i said "weirded out," he said "surprised"

[yerxa]

I tend to be an underacheaver

I can't spell underacheaver

don't feel too sorry for him.. he feels sorry enough for himself, believe me... <_<

i love him but i don't like him when he's sick or otherwise 'indisposed'........

i have 3 babies to take care of until he gets his butt back to work on monday... and i'm not liking it a bit....

(julian and i have a cold, sore throat, bad headaches... harrison's still hanging in with whatever is going on with him- diarrhea and not sleeping, cranky as all get out.... his tacro level was over 3x the normal amoutn on monday and we didn't find out until wed..... <_< so we had to take him in on thursday morning to get another set of bloodwork done... it explains the diarrhea (thtat should have cleared up after the antibiotic) and insomnia and i ams ure the headache would be making him irritable.... :( )

[nymphette]

oh yeah, and did i mention that i have a splittin gheadache, bordering on migraine??? yeah, *I* am feeling sorry for myself....... i get tired of taking care of everyone else first when i feel like total shit.... <sigh>

oh well.. i'm over it....

though i am hiding in the computer room for a few minutes to try to defuse myself....... i just can't handle all the whining going on out in the living room right now!!!!!!

[nymphette]

thanks for posting hte auntieemu article, sarah!!!! :)

anyone heard from hollis lately??? there's so many people MIA around here!!!

i'm tired of being pregnant.... this usually only happens the last month of my pregnancies..... i am hoping against hope that i am really a few weeks further along than my dates say and that my obgyn says....... it would make life a lot easier... <_< i don't think any of us will make it through if i have another month and a half PLUS to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

oh dear. a very old friend just tried to sell me on jesus in my live journal comments section. i don't think that was appropriate at all. is it time for a new journal? i don't want to hurt his feelings and un-friend him.

ok, so I'M worried about hurting his feelings, but he has no qualms about discussion my beliefs out in the open like that? what is my problem? we have nothing in common anymore. he came to my wedding last year. that was the first time i had seen him in years, and i haven't seen him since. he voted for bush and when i asked him why (in a polite way) he said he would tell me later and never did.

now i'm paranoid that he'll somehow find this and get mad at me. um, why is it that i care? shouldn't i be mad at him? grrr...people.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i really wish he would have just emailed me or something.

i'm moving on and forgetting about it now. i'm probably making too big a deal out of it.

i wish the boy wasn't working. i really miss him tonight. we had a good trip together. ...

[Lorrell]

I just heard the most fantastic story of seduction


All it took was a loveseat and three glasses of wine


I advised my friend that this is the stuff holidays are made of and too beware of the rebound.

[Larrissa]

sorry for intruding if you find it inappropriate you have the Power of Deletion ....

i spilled wine on the carpet, it turned blue. then i out down vinegar to take it out, and it turned back to pink. weird chemical reactions freaking me out.

damn the internet hug! damn it to hell! i want to give REAL hugs! ARGH!

[Larrissa]

its not fair. it hurts. i knew it was going to happen.

[Lorrell]

Oh! my...no try a towel with cold water and ice and rub it ...but it's probably too late if you used the vinegar.


I have so much to do next week because of this stupid holiday.



People that would participate in allowing themselves to be intimately searched by other nimrods for the cause of "homeland security" make me want to hurl.

[Sirius]

B is playing Halo.

Think he isn't doing so well.

I just heard the CPU voice say "100% Casulaties" and Larrissa type words come from B

[Helquin]

Curses. I didn't plan well and now I'm out of cigs.

And it is COLD outside. Like, crunchy grass cold.

Addiction. It ain't pretty.

End of public service announcement. I'll probably be back in a while...

[Sirius]

Hey, sounds like a good time to see if you can go a night without.


I'm an evil person who likes to taunt people with addictions.


I can admit it.

[Larrissa]

angry.
very angry.
and i know theres no way for me to insert my will into the situation
and i just have to deal with it.
she told everyone i said no to the memorial
but in reality, i was never asked.
it was my right to know what was and is going on.
im so upset.
she hung up on me repeatedly.

[siafu]

i made these waffles: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/getrecipe.zsp?id=67930

i wished them as a blessing on ptichka. eeps. i hope i spelled that right.

they are awesome, and the waffles are very tender and fragrant.

[Lorrell]

Fortitude is an exquisite virtue, one that is so very overlooked in these modern times of instant gratification. Until I really had to study it, in order to aquire any credits as an artist, I suffered from a kind of self imposed delusion that it wasn't important.


Some would tell me that knowing how to dress is more important



Now I am ready for the life of crime, I see a black fedora with a rose just waiting for me.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

larrissa, your intrusion made me smile. i'm sorry she is being a snot

the boy is cleaning the litter box. he's stirring up all kinds of foul smells

i don't like the idea of taking a loan out for our rent. i don't know what else to do....those cash advance places are such a rip-off.

[Helquin]

Weird weather. It's warmer out now than it was at 4 this afternoon. :huh:

Mock my addictions! :lol: See if I care!

Forgot to mention earlier: the crafts were crappy today. The bottom may have fallen out of this whole country kitsch fad.

The only interesting thing I saw were walking sticks carved to represent strangely (but, I'm almost certain, unintentionally) phallic morel mushrooms.

[Larrissa]

i can be a terrible person, maybe it runs in the family

words cannot be taken back

<im sorry>

[Lorrell]

I am so pleased by J's reactions to my holiday decos


He"s impressed by small tokens of neatness amidst mindless chaos.


I have suggested he make himself known to the world, perhaps by taking long walks. Ha!

[Larrissa]

i wish i could have been more witty in my intrusion, but damn that was the best i could do right then. humor for me is spontaneous

upstairs with my lazy slacker self!

the teevee is on, hanks kid is being teased by chris rock

[Meika]

I'm itchy.

Marshmallow cream with banana is yummy

I want to make tamales for Christmas this year instead of the usual meat dish

meika, that would be pretty cool :) do you mean the mexican kind?

i just made apple baRs sweetened mostly with fruit juice and a tiny bit of honey.

i've just been trying to eat well so my ulcer doesn't hurt. so far i've lost about ten pounds. no candy or soda for me. heh. i guess the side effects are acceptable.

[Larrissa]

im like reactive metal cookware: only i over-react

damn im angsty

sorry about all that anger about my sister

i feel like such an ass for so many reasons

[Helquin]

I'm really having too much fun. :ph34r: I hope they don't lock me away.

Kentucky today. Wahoo.

I'm avoiding the invading cousins. Enough is enough for one holiday.

The only interesting thing I saw were walking sticks carved to represent strangely (but, I'm almost certain, unintentionally) phallic morel mushrooms.

Smoking UGH! Such a NASTY habit... give a hoot..dont pollute (this teasing brought to you by..an ex-smoker-if I can quit so can you )

I can see how the morel mushroom walking sticks would just have to look phallic! Did you buy one? <hehehehehee>

I painted one of my "partial faces" last night from a picture I took of a girl at work..it came out AWESOME!

[Larrissa]

"not silly" ahhhhh! damn it all. ALL. :D :D

i kinda went the route of superstress last night. but it never lasts. i figure doing it all at once like that is better somehow.

acrylic medium sticks to hands in a way not much else does. ewww.

im abusing marquees, youre lucky i dont know how to do it in BBCode.

[Sirius]

larrissa's questions are big, slimey, pink and walk

see sig line

so about latin america

[namelessgirl]

I'm really really mad at someone that I've never even met. "Didn't want to go" MY ASS. gah. Honestly. gah.

The work printer has somehow been magickally disconnected since I was here last night and I have been reconnecting wires to no avail.

Three things that MUST be done today: that special thing for you know who, the political atcs, and the altered nail pouch.

[Sirius]

Pardon me, but I need new posts to respond to or else I cannot avoid my proper responsibilities.....


and then I will type to you about the Panama Canal....

and the Spanish-American War....

[tanagee]

Megan's little friend did not spend the night, but they did come over and make my lack of baby-proofing glaringly obvious.

Our friend gave us a copy of the new Green Day.

MUST.WORK.ON.WEB.SITE.MORE. TODAY!

[Zhenechka]

Ptichka will be flattered that someone made waffles in her honour.

We ogled the waffle irons at Williams-Sonoma but couldn't bring ourselves to buy one with our gift certificate because damn they're over-priced!

I'm currently at the library because I know that one can have too much of a good thing.

[velma]

i need to get out more; i'm falling into a serious rut

it's not even december and i spend a good amount of time trying to stay warm. i hope we don't have sub-zero temps like last winter!

somebody talk to me

[Lorrell]

I have the black fedora


I could not get the suit I wanted.


Shopping leaves me frustrated and miserable

[Larrissa]

if you can handle the green face mask picture as the first sight of me, you can handle anything :huh:

i dont know where the disk is with half my pics on it :mellow:

uuuuuum, im anxious

[Zhenechka]

I'm still at the library.

I've taken a nap and read some fun stuff.

I need to go get some books from the stacks.

[velma]

i had a nap; i feel better (the joys of insomnia--you appreciate the little things)
i have to seriously clear the decks
i'm going to put my rock tumbler and brand-new, bought-in-a-manic-frenzy PMC Kit up on eBay (ah--the fallout of mania...)

[Larrissa]

agh! i have zero patience. i worry about what does not matter.

im lazy and tired today

the rain stopped

[velma]

i, too, am lazy & tired
i'm reclined on the bed with my laptop--it's the most comfortable place in the house
i've been very antisocial in "real" life

[Larrissa]

its the bite on my shoulder, i have a horrible disease, im waiting to die.

:lol: naw, im just impatient about people not spending all damned day online like i do and taking more than an hour to respond to emails

im gonna nap. get over it world.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i'm so sick of being sick. every now and then i get a couple days where i'm feeling ok, then i go right back to chest yuck, nose yuck, sinus yuck and tummy yuck.

need energy...

i got some yummy asian candy in the mail. need to go figure out what it is. it's fruity and spicy and super good. what was that? ginger? must learn things about candy thing thing things thing things

335317Oooh do it! One year my sister and my cousin were whining about having the same old food at holiday dinners (none of which was cooked by them of course) so my mom made seafood gumbo and it was fabulous.

Gwensdad and I went out on a lunch date again today! We can't go next Saturday, though, because I have to work. :(

We are going to give his parents a live tree for Christmas and we get to go to the tree nursery to pick it out. I love going there.

I am so not on top of the other Christmas gifts- yikes!

I'm pigging out on Turkey Day leftovers. :)

Tryptophan buzz may knock me into Naptown any minute now... -_-

[gwensmom]

One of Gwens babysitters called today and wanted us to co-sign on a car loan. :o Like we really have any money after we pay all these babysitters!

Velma and Helquin, y'all come on down here. It's not very cold at all.

I read in the paper today that cokes bottled in Mexico are much better than our cokes because they use cane sugar instead of corn syrup. Now I am wondering where I can get a Mexican coke.

[Zhenechka]

I'm finding it more interesting to work on my thesis than to work on stuff for nervousness.

This relieves me.

I'm going to go have som JD to celebrate!

[bluecrayon]

melancholy is a funny color

I am sending an understanding hug to namelessgirl who seems to be wrapped in the same color as me...

my time is up at the library and now I head back into my quandary.

[namelessgirl]

thanks to cb. i hope things turn out alright for you.


i have so many things i should be doing right now but i'm frozen and can't seem to get off of here.

luckily larrissa is good about fixing that for me :)

[Larrissa]

yeah bitch, my turn

i watched spongebob

i have nothing for number threee so bite it

[Helquin]

Man, I'm getting mucho giggles this week. :D Must be this freaky full moon.

I've been wrestling an ethical dilemma all day.

I was bad -- & probably have wrought all kinds of irksome consequences. I don't think Civilization is in danger, though. Just peace in the family.... <_<

catlingmex lives in Mexico, she could probably get you one too.

[Lorrell]

I discovered a nice little Italian cafe this afternoon that has homemade pizza and panino sandwiches.


I'll be so happy when Monday comes and I can pal around with J and maybe take him to this place for lunch.


They have "spinach" listed as a pizza topping, so I know "Popeye" will love THAT!

We have to do Thanksgiving tomorrow at my in-laws.

[Christine_0701]

ewww! spinach? on a pizza? the only time i eat spinach is in spinach dip (the kind that comes in the big round bread bowl...yummy)

occassionally in lasagna/spaghetti

i had forgotten that I don't like spinach :lol:

[ebandit]

Christine I would bet you would love a spinach alfredo pizza. (I would like it better if it had the tomato sauce on it in addition to the alfredo.

I had a great casserole a few nites ago...spinach and artichoke hearts.

I don't like spinach as a solo dish..but I loved that one!

[Cellissimo]

I have continuously procrastinated on my paper.

I am, in fact, procrastinating right now.

I am a procrastinator.

i do not like to feel helpless and unpresent when someone far away needs a hug. computer hugs are a despicable substitute. hmm. :mellow:

20 cards down...not counting how many to go...

still looks like I have a big enough supply that handmade holiday cards are still a couple of years away...

i took stocking up seriously

[Christine_0701]

I dunno about alfredo pizza...I'm not even that big a fan of alfredo stuff :lol:

teriyaki chicken pizza, sure. taco pizza, sure. even cheeseburger pizza, sure

but put spinach or anchovies on it, and I won't eat it :lol: or olives

[gwensmom]

I don't eat pizza without olives either.

I am making three pots of chili tomorrow morning. The meat is cooked, the peppers and onions are chopped and the chicken broth is thawing. All I have to do is sautee the veggies, add all the ingredients and simmer for an hour or two.

I have cleaned out the fridge to made room for it all as well.

I watched Men in Black and Men in Black II tonight. I wish they would do Men in Black III.

[Larrissa]

:blush: well.

its one of those things.

i love it.

[Christine_0701]

ooh creepy! I just went to look something up in a book (a HP book) and opened it RIGHT to the exact page I wanted

i have room in my fridge if you need to store some!!!! i never make chili anymore... chris won't eat it so it isn't really worth it to make if it's just for me... course, julian does like it.. so i guess it'd be okay for lunches......

i love chili!!!

i have a bag of seafood in my freezer waiting to make seafood chowder tomorrow.. and i think homemade buns too... that'll take my mind off of chili!!! maybe... :unsure:

That is correct!

As with so many MS products, its preferred m.o. is the Death of a Thousand Cuts. No big bang, just a lot of rude little snaps.

Yes I will get lots done today.

Even though it's Sunday.

I'm gonna do it.

Really.

[zanna]

I just read an announcement in a Methodist church bulletin that there would be a baby shower for the mother of a yet-to-be-born baby girl whose name will be Zanna.


wowzers. that sure is a neat name, lucky kid. ;)

i'm heading back to atalnta today.

yesterday i went to the flea market and set up a table to sell at. i pocketed over $100 for stuff i just had laying around my house.

~ Oh, I had a dream last night about Zanna! It was so strange and felt so REAL. Even thinking back on it now, it seems like it's an actual memory, not just remembering a dream. :unsure: In the dream I was in Zanna's dorm which looked like a huge fancy old victorian house. She was in her bedroom with the door open and I ran past in the hallway. I heard a voice shout "SarahKate!" so I peaked into her doorway and I knew it was her. I flopped down on her bed because I was tired and asked "how did you know it was me?" "Because of your black hair. I knew it had to be you." "But I don't have black hair," I thought but didn't say out loud. Then I walked around the streets of some city with her and some strange girls. Very odd indeed.


haha! that's some dream, girl.

i don't believe i've ever had a dream feat. any nervous people. i'm sad.

at the flea market yesterday i found a vendor selling all cd's for a dollar. i bought 8 for $8.

[gwensmom]

Three pots of chili are simmering and the kitchen is cleaned up.

Now I have to pack Gwen's paraphanalia (sp?) so we can go to the boondocks for a late Thanksgiving dinner.

Gwensdad woke me up at 2:30 snoring. He says he doesn't snore.

I had one in Ensenada, and the roach coach that used to come to my work sold them. To me they taste flatter, not enough fizz. But I think all bottled soda/pop tastes flatter. I'm a fan of fountian Cokes more.

It is in the high 40's at 8:30AM & super windy today and will reach the 30's overnight. <brrr>

I am cooking the turkey giblets for my Lucky Luciano. He got in so much trouble last night because he wouldn't listen.

My hubby got up at 5AM to go to the car swap meet... :crossed: keep your fingers crossed that he sells stuff.

[Christine_0701]

I haven't had any nervous-people dreams either

I did have another really weird realistic dream last night, though

And in it, I was dreaming, and waking up and I just now realized that was IN my dream, and not in real life :lol:

[Helquin]

If talk about Mexican coke doesn't bring the FBI to this board, I don't know what will... :lol:

I can't figure out Blue's new routine. Is there a time zone shift between SF and Portland?

Here's the great excuse I've come up with for not being productive so far today: it's COLD.

November is such a relentlessly dreary month around these parts... :mellow:

[Christine_0701]

Wasting time, avoiding doing homework

I think I wrote another prose poem...

1 poem down, 4 to go

[velma]

November is such a relentlessly dreary month around these parts.

here too. all i want to do lately is crawl under an electric blanket with a good book. or zone out with some mind-altering substance. or both.

today it's pouring. yay.

we're going out later for dinner--just to get out of the house. this place called "Brew City". they have dozens of beers and really good food. i think i'll have their yummy fish&chips, but minus the chips. a salad instead. and my favorite beer--Smithwick's Irish Ale.

[siafu]

blue doesn't have a computer with her, so she posts catch-as-can.

hopefully she'll be posting from my house today.

i should shower and call her.

[namelessgirl]

Today is strange for lots of reasons, none of which I can really talk about. But if you want to think good thoughts for me & namelessboy that would be nice and appreciated and all. Thanks :)

Tomorrow starts the new diet and working out and stuff. Mhmm.

Nice weather we're having today. It's a good change.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i shall be thinking good thoughts for you :)

just heard that wonky and crypt might be back online by the end of december...yay!

my mom keeps calling and calling. i'm sorry, but i can't make plans a month in advance. if i keep getting pressured into something, i generally just forget the whole thing. so, lay off woman!

[Lorrell]

Oh such a breathtaking beautiful day here, I went for a three-mile hike along the ridge and did some sketches of the flowers and collected some seeds from the old experimental gardens we planted last spring before the hurricanes. Some of the marigold varieties actually survived and went to seed. :)


When I got home I found a snake in my garage, I have to go out there and get a better look and ID it. It's welcome to stay as long as it's non-poisonous. They eat spiders, mice, rats, squirrels. If I hear any "rattling noises" NO WAY!! eekks!


Which reminds me, I haven't seen the little squirrel that was sneaking in the garage lately and pilfering the bird seed.

BTW I am making some Chili with Deer Meat. It's ground coarse. I have to freeze some for the Hunter whose wife has some sort of phobia about cooking Deermeat.

just finished revising one of my stories (well, until I get more feedback on it from people :lol:)

do you want to read it and give me feedback? hehe

break time again

[Lorrell]

I'm in a story reading mood.


I checked the snake, all I could see was the tip of it's tale. NO rattles! It appears to be a red rat snake.


On the bottom of their belly it looks like black and white bathroom tile. On top they have a pretty red diamond pattern.

i dont think i understand it at all, and im not really going to try to either, as it could crush what i need to be around.

:D :D yeah. im making tea jello and chocolate chip cookies

i do still get embarrassed - and that itself i find embarrassing

[ebandit]

I got to read a story by one of our Nness writers....someday I will KNOW a famous author!!!

I have been doing laundry and painting.

You have to wash your hands between the two activities or you get a mess!

[ebandit]

What exactly is "tea jello"?

I think I would like it.

Can you make coffee jello?

[Christine_0701]

heh. thanks Gene!!

I think I'm going to submit it to the school publication....if It gets published, I get a free copy...and, I can put it on my CV as published, and I can send it to other magazines as UNpublished :D

I want corn on the cob

[Larrissa]

tea jello is me being so incredibly lazy i dont hit the comma key :D

its lime, and after thats set, putting orange jello on top. i love my layered jello.

excuse me whilst i rock out.

[zanna]

i'm about to start my short paper on 'run lola run' which i've put off all week long.

at least i get to write a paper on a cool film though, eh?

my fish looks sad.

[ebandit]

Darn..I was all set for a recipe for tea-flavored jello. Then I was gonna make coffee-jello too!

I have painted, done laundry and cleaned the cat box.

I need to work on "The Artist Way" but I want to be lazy!

[siafu]

COFFEE JELLO

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups coffee
2 tbsp gelatin powder
2 tbsp sugar
whipped cream for topping
PREPARATION:

Mix gelatin powder and 4 tbsp of water in a small cup. Mix coffee, sugar, and the gelatin in a pan and stir well over low heat. Strain the mixture and pour into small cups. Put the cups in the fridge. Put some whipped cream on top of the jello before serving.

[ebandit]

Is this a real recipe or am I being had?
Is gelatin powder like Knox unflavored gelatin? Or what is it and where do I get it?
It sounds good to me..thanks siafu

[siafu]

yeah, go for the Knox. though you may need a bit more than that amount. the package should give proportions.

Iced Tea Gelatin

1st step: Dissolve one package of lemon Jell-O in 1 1/4 cups very strong black tea.

2nd step: Add 3/4 cup fresh orange juice and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. Refrigerate until semi-firm. A little grated ginger is good in this, too; stir it in once the dessert is partially jelled, and then let it finish firming.

yup. they're both for real recipes. and i won't talk about the meat milkshake recipe i came across during my search.

[Sirius]

I have an inner candy shell coating. I've eaten a few m&ms today.

Why do I think personal notes in holiday cards are important. I am tired of talking about me.

Oh look there are still some m&ms left

[gwensmom]

If I ever make it to FL again I will go have a pizza with Lorrell. Then I will go knit with the girlz in the commune.

On the way home I will visit all the nervous people in Georgia and Alabama too.

I think I figured out how to pay for those new tires I had to have on the van. Next I have to find a way to pay some property taxes that are due in February.

That just is not one of my favorite coffees.

I love peaberry coffee.

Coffee is great first thing in the morning..a receptionist to screen my calls wouldn't be bad either!

[Zhenechka]

I'm up!

I'm waiting for the shower.

I have books to return to the library.

[Serenity]

Didn't sleep last night... causing a severe case of the mental blahs (which sucks... I have a french intreview today)

I can not find my damn keys (I think my brother misplaced them. Must be him... always him! Never me ;) )

I've finally gathered enough courage to get braces... sigh. Want to hear the damage? I have to get eight teeth pulled (aka dental surgery) including four wisdom teeth :( I'm freaked out. Super freaked out!!! *sob* On a funny (or slightly amusing) story-- I got the x-rays done on Friday and I asked the dental assistant: " So are my wisdom teeth down?" He replies "Well they're laying down." What does this mean? Well my bottom wisdoms grew side ways. FREAK OUT!

[Zhenechka]

Ahh...wisdom teeth. Try to get a general anasthetic instead of a local one.

Complications...blah blah blah...it's better to suddenly pass out and then wake up without the teeth.

Breakfast time!

[zanna]

good morning everyone.

for some odd reason i had a yearning this morning to listen to hanson's christmas album back from 1997.

so i am listening to it now, and remembering back to 6th grade when i was in love with taylor hanson. ah ..

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i stayed in bed all night but did little sleeping. lots of tossing and turning

too freaking hot in here...my eyes are puffy and sore. i'm sure there will be much napping today.

i don't return phone calls from 800 numbers, even if you claim not to be a telemarketer. tell me who you are and what you want and why i should bother....

poot.

[siafu]

let's see if i can post

[sarahkate]

~ You CAN post. :D I see you Theresa :wave:

~ Catching up on everyones' Thanksgiving posts is making me hungry for butternut squash and mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce again.

~ We spent my boyfriend's 26th birthday (on Saturday) driving 2.5 hours to IKEA in New Haven, Connecticut. I spent way too much money but I got some nifty stuff.

[sarahkate]

~ I wonder if chunkymonkey is on her way to Florida right now?

~ I wish I could be as brave as Serenity and go to the dentist. My teeth are in horrible shape. My lower left wisdom tooth is killing me today. :(

~ I made lasagna and salad yesterday. I can't wait to have leftovers for dinner tonight.

[Larrissa]

im worried about chunkymonkey, its been days since i heard from her ...

someone else will be on his way to florida, holy crap, thats what i said, i will not elaborate. not any time soon, dont worry.

^_^ good morning.

[Christine_0701]

I'm afraid to go to the dentist too...

I think I'll go to the college dental thing...they do a free cleaning, in the spring, to train the students

I'm mostly afraid to go to the dentist b/c I think might have a cavity (and I've never had one before...)

~ I made lasagna 336461Mmmmm I hope it was extra cheesy.

I forgot my lunch today and now I am very hungry! But when I get home there are all kinds of leftovers waiting for me.

I have done very little at work today but I had a great idea that my boss loved, so it's ok.

It's nice to be back at work. Those holiday weekends drag on forever. Next I have to survive over two weeks of Christmas vacation when Gwen is not in school. :blink:

im in love with damned near everything right now

[zanna]

i want to go visit people.

i've been in a road trippin kinda mood.

although my car might not like me for it.

[nymphette]

c-section scheduled: january 11th, 2005, 8:15 a.m.....

but we're going to be doing everythng in our power to move that date up a bit.... like, around christmas.... :( that's just TOO LONG to wait!!!

i've felt further along all through this pregnancy- i can't believe i have a month and a half to go.. there's no way!!!

i had to stop walking a couple of times today when i was in the mall with the kids, due to contractions!!!!! they are getting a lot harder, though not a lot more frequent.... i don't remember them starting the last two times as early as they did this time!!!!

[nymphette]

i want to waste the afternoon away by sitting here at the comptuer and pretending i am having some social interaction..... <_<

alas, both boys fell asleep on the way home and neither will nap now... which means i can't either... :(

and harrison has this separation anxiety thing going on... if i slip out of the room to pee, he starts to cry.... far too much hospital time for that child, he is always afraid when i leave now... :( whatever will i do?!!??!??

[nymphette]

i am making jello again today.. we've been living of of it for hte past week... <_<

i think i will layer it today too.. the kids will love that....

fighting in the living room.. my four minutes of 'me' time are up i guess

[Larrissa]

this

is

social

interaction

sorta

[namelessgirl]

Ah she left and now I can change the radio station. Sorry folks, but Toby Keith is not who I want to be listening to.

Mac n cheese is good but probably not the best thing for my diet. I need to get all organized and stuff and maybe buy some fresh vegetables :o

I've been here like 20 minutes and I already want to just go home and play with the kitties, make wiseass comments to Slurpissa, and knit. And drink tea.

[Larrissa]

i love your wiseass commments you know.

im hyper yet glued to the computer

that annoys me

[namelessgirl]

i know. i :wub: you too.

extra hour and a half of work = a meal at tijuana flats. hmm. i must ponder this. i should be good.

mhmm.

[Larrissa]

still not allowed to post pictures.

lets try another one:

[sarahkate]

~ Larrissa(Slurpissa :lol:)'s earlier post reminded me of the nifty package o' stuff that Velma sent to me too! She sent such a great bunch of randomness. I can't wait to put it all to use. I'm having visions of collages and altered books.

~ I keep forgetting to PM Velma to thank her.. so I will just do that here.... THANKS VELMA!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub:

~ I "won" a pair of Mary Jane's on Ebay for $1.99 (plus shipping). I hope they fit.

[Larrissa]

fight club was awesome. slurpiss, shamelessgirl, winkywankingdoo, penister. yeah. too bad it DIED.

i really hope no one hears me singing.

im off in a few minutes to do good and arty things.

[nymphette]

happy birthday indigo!!! you old boot you!!!

:birthday:

just made jello... and the kids are eating oranges and graham crackers...

and i still wanna nap!!!!! ah well, get over it!!!!

[Larrissa]

why am i still here?

i dont know.

my neck is itchy, its the string necklace i made being RUDE

[kittymao]

hey. I just caught up on like, 15 pages of 3rf.
So, these might be weird.

I too got a plant stolen- a christmas cactus that was on the verge of flowering! Sob. I loved that plant!

I love dem sprites. I'm about to drop one in my siggy. Bytheby- It felt weird to refresh and know names.
click-charlie.
click-dhalsim.
click-blanka.
click-cammy.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i must have $30 worth of packages stacked up ready to go. something tells me some of them will be sitting here for a while....

oh dear, yes...we got a shut-off notice for the internet/phone stuff. it came in the mail TODAY. we have to pay by TOMORROW. wtf? thanks for the, um...notice. jerks.

if for some bizarre reason it actually gets turned off tomorrow, know that i still love you and will be back in just a few days.

[bluecrayon]

staying warm in the library which has become my place of refuge here

the soon to be ex is threatening all kinds of economic sanctions against my country

time to eat some chocolate and slide across time a bit.

[namelessgirl]

)*@$%)@*#$)@*$)#

he's at the house and i have to get to him

and i'm stuck here at work for four more hours.

[Lilac]

Well, I'm back. Survived thanksgiving, though the sister is a huge ass bitch.

Came home, hermit crab has escaped and is now on the loose.

Need to take the kid out for dinner because there is no quick and easy meal available here to eat.

Will be back in a while!

[namelessgirl]

I'm really glad to see Lilac is back. I was wondering about her trip :wub:

One more hour until I get out of here. My eyelids are getting heavier by the minute. No more staying up until 4 am.

Tomorrow I have two big meetings between classes. Gah!!!

[Helquin]

Life is almost too interesting to bear... An old familiar face suddenly shows up. She makes robots now.

Date Guy returns, newly persistent after a holiday break.

I saw 2 deer. Today hunting season began. No more walking in wild places for a while...

[Christine_0701]

we digressed in class again today (at least we weren't digressing about digressions like last time)

so i spent that time and wrote out 2 new livejournal entries

i should update my site with another poem...the question is, which one? :lol:

[siafu]

i overcooked the broccolliiii.

i'm suddenlly mellanncchoollly.

stuff is on my nerves.

[namelessgirl]

I want to see Ask Jeeves and GoogleBot duke it out, parking lot style!!

Larrissa hasn't been online in a few hours and that freaks me out... quite a bit.

I wonder what's for dinner? :huh:

[velma]

We saw "Finding Neverland" (though I thought we were never going to find the movie!)

I liked it!

The I-like-action-films, short-attention-span crowd probably won't like it. Screw them.

[Christine_0701]

I posted a copy of my story in the polls section

you know, the one that's called Rootbeer Popsicles and Bald Heads?

yeah. just thought I'd let you know
