Random Thoughts...

[klc1168]

i should be working on the science project thats due tomorrow and since i missed school today to do it but... i'm here

My clincal was canceled today and I should be cleaning my house, studying for a test on Wednesday, and working on a care plan. But here I am as well.

[jsedai_77]

I found more stuff to do!!
I sorted thru the box of baby clothes from when my lilest ds was a baby...and pulled out all the unisex small stuff...we're set...and I washed it...
I also reconned a blue and white short sleved pleated style floor length size 10 lil girls dress into a Dorathy Gale costume (over all style dress with gathered skirt) next it's on to the yarn wig

[Coffee]

I watched The Rocker, and I keep seeing IKEA products...

[bzarrr]

is that like the sixth sense and seeing dead people, but more swedish?

[Coffee]

Yes.

I also ordered some new jewellery!

And an awesome tshirt!
And I got 10% off!

[Tampopo]

My local fabric store is closing down really soon :( I went in there today & it was barren....but it's all on sale, at least.


I can't find blue hair anywhere. I looked in three stores today for it. >.> I need it for my costume. Ok, I don't NEED it, but it would add to the effect.






My ankle hurts because I fell of of a curb in a really dumb way. I know I looked hot doing it though (not), so it's all good.







& Ikea is everywhere.

[PinkPK]

Random thoughts... Well, Austin asked me to go with him to his Orchestra tonight, and I got there, paid for the tivcket, and sat in the first open pew I could find, and before his section even got started, my mom forced me to leave, twenty minutes after I got there. Why? She didn't want to pick me up. I would have given my life to see him play his viola...

CONCLUSION: I dislike my mother, and would have KILLED to stay.

[goofipinay]

Worried about my AP Art History Test tomorrow
Just spent time writing a proto-type of my 20 min essay
But haven't figured out what to even start writing for the 5 min or 10 min essays

Dunno what to study....Except for everything
Since last test was 90% review and 10% what we were actually testing on
Probably should look at Greeks & Romans since that was the last test...


PS.
Orchestra concerts suck
I have one tomorrow....overview of my day tomorrow:
7:30 - 8:30 - Zero Bell (Orchestra before school)
8:45 - 3:38 - Real school starts and ends
3:45 - 5:30 - Urban Dance
HOME
6:45 - 9:00 - Orchestra Concert

Oh freakin joy! I get to be at school for almost 13 hours!

[lurkstoomuch]

I have to take a road trip with my father. Someone shoot me now.

My mother has crappy communication skills. I think I inherited them.

My eye is definitely infected. I need to see a friggin opthamologist. That sucks. I had one I liked, and he even had soft, warm hands, and then we had to go and move out of the danged state he's in. GRRRRRR.

[The Angry Hippie]

Yes.

I also ordered some new jewellery!

And an awesome tshirt!
And I got 10% off!
OOoo 10%.

[megziewoodles]

THAT IS SOOOOOO FREAKIN COOL!!!! i want!!!!! wheres hydrogen tho?

(sorry for my nerd-y ness, im studying chemistry at uni so im allowed :D )Hydrogen is in the top left hand corner.

Francium and Radium were sacrificed for the greater good.

[The Angry Hippie]

http://www.lutanho.net/play/magiceyetetris.html

[Coffee]

OOoo 10%.

Yeah, Body Art Forms. I'm waiting now to see how it works out. If it goes well, I'll order again in a while.

[The Angry Hippie]

ya i happened across you a couple months ago while searching info on frenulum(sp?) piercing... small world ey

[Coffee]

Odd how that happens.

I'm much more of a hard ass when I talk piercings :P

[The Angry Hippie]

yup, noticed.

think u'll slowly migrate from here to there? or just maintaine this crazy double internet life forever?

[Coffee]

I have different communities for different interests.

[The Angry Hippie]

why are you here again? XP

[Coffee]

This is where I come for crafting, sewing, knitting, and general conversation.

Except, you know, I'm also on Punk_Rock_Knitters for knitting conversation sometimes.

[The Angry Hippie]

well then... whats on your needles?
and why don't u post projects.

[Coffee]

I don't make a lot of projects, and I can't be bothered taking pictures and that.

I'm working on a blanket right now.

[The Angry Hippie]

Shut up with that i can't be bothered BS. i wanna see it.

[Coffee]

Well, maybe I'll post about it in a couple of days when it's finished.

[The Angry Hippie]

very well.

[Coffee]

I'm working it with 4 balls of yarn, on my gigantic needles. Won't have my camera for another week or so, loaned it out, though.

[The Angry Hippie]

MMmmhmmm... Thasts the best friggin way to make a knit blanket...i love a really heavy blankey

[Coffee]

It's mainly polyester, though, so not too heavy.

[The Angry Hippie]

i made a 3x3 blankey with 6 strands of cheep crap yarn it weighs a friggin ton (for being a kid blanket).....

i hated twards the end when the whole blanket be on one side of the needles and it be a pain to maneuver. i thought i was gunna get carpel tunnel.

[Coffee]

It's 45 stitches wide. But my needles are a little over an inch in diameter, so it's quite a good size for what I have planned.

[The Angry Hippie]

wholy crap... where do you find needles that big?.... i've been searching for GIANT circulars but no one makes em :(... and all the bigger needles top out at 14-17 inches it really limits how big u can make things. i wanna make a queen/king sized blanket but i hate peicing togeather things it always ends badly for me.

[Coffee]

Well, mine are 27mm, which is a little over an inch.

They're about 3 feet long.


They're called Extreme Knitting Needles, I got them at a textile fair.

[The Angry Hippie]

I found them OMG those things are monsters... how on earth do knit with them... do you stand the whole time? those are friggin expensive....maybe i can get on DH about getting his shop cleared out so i can use the lathe.

[The Angry Hippie]

they'd be perfect for vampire slaying maybe thats why their so expensive, duel purpose

[Coffee]

they cost me £22 because I bought them in person. They're quite easy to use sitting, as long as you have support.

Just had to make a running repair to one, the dowels came loose... I'm hoping superglue can hold them.

[The Angry Hippie]

well your very large... that prolly helps

[Coffee]

I've seen a lot of people use them, and I've been the largest so far.

[The Angry Hippie]

hehe

[Coffee]

I'll need to put the knitting on hold until my repairs dry.

Got a couple of studded belts to harvest, might as well make a start.

[jsedai_77]

all this blanket talk....makes me sleepy
also my kids are skinking adorable in their halloween costumes..I should post some pics...when I find my usb cord for my cam.....stupid moving and unpacking I loose the weirdest things

[angelstrangeeyes]

Hydrogen is in the top left hand corner.

Francium and Radium were sacrificed for the greater good.

ah ok, think i mustve missed it. if i was gonna get technical you should have had it seperate to everythin else, but i wont. :D

ah who needs francium and radium anyways lol

ive decided i either want a princess cake or a periodic table cake for my bday :)

[goofipinay]

I saw some dress forms
And boy were they expensive =[

I can't do a handstand anymore
Not good, because of urban dance
Which got cancelled today..which means I have an extra hour today =D

[The Angry Hippie]

all this blanket talk....makes me sleepy

[jsedai_77]

I just made an enitre funnel hat out of duct tape

[The Angry Hippie]

Sweet....with a brim?

[jsedai_77]

no it's in the shape of a funnel for my dh's tin man costume

[ladyjanewriter]

I'm so tired. I hate this stupid job.

[jsedai_77]

well folks it don't get more random than this.....
I had braces cause when I was a kid I had all but one adult bicuspid...I had the baby tooth for it, but no adult replacement...this means that it was surrounded by adult size molary teeth and thus a week place on my jaw...had I had some sort of injury (and I"m prone to random broken bones due to clutzy ness) my jaw would prolly have broken at the part where the baby tooth was...so the solution to this was to take it out..and the matching tooth above then with braces slide all the back molars foward to fill the gaps....thus giving me plenty of room for my wisdom teeth.. it turned out to actually be less expensive in the long run cause I would otherwise have needed a bridge or a flapper or something that requires regular maintance/replacement...plus no crowding....also I had straight teeth before...during and after...the only bummer is that (and ppl only notice this when I point it out) my teeth are now SLIGHTLY off center to the left but like just barely like an eigth of an inch or less

also I just found out that my friend is a furry

[jsedai_77]

O so u failed...i see.

?? no stinking adorable is my way of saying REALLY FREAKING CUTE

[The Angry Hippie]

Ur just all sorts a weird jess...omg a furry

I'm pretty cool with most "alternative preferences" but that's is one that I just don't understand. Until I saw an episode of CSI with Furries on it, I had no idea that such a thing existed. It was too weird for me to even believe.

[goofipinay]

is it possible for me to have carpool tunnel?
=[

[The Angry Hippie]

totally...
i knew this really kick ass guitar player and he had to stop after a few songs cuz he had carpel tunnel... he was 18 at the time.

[goofipinay]

argg
but how?
why?
what do I dooo?

and I dunno for sure
but I know i'm really stressing my wrists and everything
cause of dance, violin, and all this other crap
I hope it's just stress-related >.<

[Tampopo]

For my drama class we had to right some kind of political satire skit in regards to the Presidential candidates.


I wrote a rap on Obama.


It was pretty much great :)

Hey, here's a video that might help. =] It's aimed towards video gamers, but, the tips will help with anyone trying to prevent carpel tunnel.

[The Angry Hippie]

[ladyjanewriter]

Happy Felting, Angry Hippie!

This clip of kid's rock band singing "sparkle town" makes me stupid happy. It seems that Portland has a School of Rock:

[suburbanjungle]

I just had a really epic dream/nap.

I seemed to be part of a cult that was a mixture of my film class and my friends foods class...we all liked to hang around outside on large patches of mulch, and when we'd go inside, there'd be TONS of miscellaneous groups/cults (mainly composed of children with matching outfits) going up/down an enormous maze of blue stairs. We never got lost, though...
There was a group of boy scouts, in full uniform, singing Thriller, too... Me and my friend were talking, decided we didn't like the stairs anymore despite loudly declaring that they WERE shiny and rather blue, decided to take The Slide down.
We screamed gleefully the whole way, yelling at unsuspecting children to get the hmmpf out of the way. We ended up at the bottom dogpiled, but in two pieces, but we realized we had obliterated a number of children along the way and brought them down with us. We shrugged, high fived, and went off to the labs.

[The Angry Hippie]

i was right it was too big.:( felted up really nicely tho.

[klc1168]

It is 12:40 am I have to be up at 5 am and I just finished my care plan. It is really bad. I'm lacking half the information that I need and I only used 2 resources and I was supposed to use 5. It is a good thing my grade is pretty solid in that class.

I hate written assignments.

Good night all and happy Halloween!!!!

[Muffy_Stopheles]

Only 7 days until my maid of honor that I've never met in real life comes down from Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jsedai_77]

so I woke up hot...went outside to cool off expecting it to be fridgid...and it's like 60....normally this would be good....but I'm abut to climb into my fridge....dang hormones

[Tampopo]

Is it horrible that I'm dissapointed at getting 3rd place in my school's costume contest?


Ok, so the people who were ahead of me had interesting costumes.


But the thing is I hand make nearly everything. the only things I didn't make were my shoes & tights. But I still only got third. The second place winner actually made most of his stuff too, so I respect that, but the first place winner was mostly thrift store finds. & she's my friend, so I feel bad that I feel bad for not beating her...

I don't wish ill on them, but I'm like COME ON. I made nearly my whole outfit.

I made spats, a skirt, a vest, a shirt, goggles, a hat, & a necklace using patterns that I made myself.


I feel like a majorly lame sore loser.....but I'm still a little dissapointed.


Oh well. At least I looked amazing.

[Tampopo]

So why haven't you met her? Family member of your guy?

inthernet friendship?

I've been best friends with the girl for the past 5 years. We've chatted on the phone/via email/messenger, and shared webcam. Now we finally get to meet! :D

Holy CRAP.

There's a gas station here with gas for $2.08 a gallon

it's ok to feel dissapointed as long as you didn't like call names or throw a tantrum...you worked hard and felt your work was worth winning....

No that is normal. I felt the same way a million years ago when I was in the ninth grade. I managed to be THE first chair flute player and I beat out 3 girls who had private lessons. I could never afford lesson, I just practiced a lot. During the spring concert when they were handing out awards, I did not get chosen as "most improved" which I thought I deserved since I wasn't even in the first section the year before. I was devastated. My mother thought I was being awfully self centered.

Long story short: When you work really hard on something and you don't get the recognition you think you deserve, it hurts. Just take away the fact that you did a very good job (feel proud) and that sometimes things like that are popularity contests and not necessarily judged solely on merit.

[Coffee]

It's really tough when you know you've worked hard and improved, but you can't prove it.

That's really tough.

[The Angry Hippie]

were you chong today? or did u wuss out?

[Coffee]

I figured that having to explain to everyone would be dull.

Also, I just couldn't be bothered generally.

[The Angry Hippie]

wuss. XP

for looking how you do your surprisingly placid...
are you depressed or something?
you seem rather spunkless lately.

[Coffee]

I could be depressed, that does happen to me.

Other than that, no idea. All I do is work all the time, so I haven't really had the time to be outraged recently.

[The Angry Hippie]

*hug* well there's an imaginary hug for u... Mmmm nothing like text hugs to give ya the warm and fuzzies.

[Coffee]

Also, I don't rock the boat at work, I mean, it's only work...

And they wouldn't get it, anyway.

[The Angry Hippie]

why is it about them.

[Coffee]

Cheech and Chong just aren't as well known here as they are in the US and elsewhere. It's like... Monty Python, I guess.

[The Angry Hippie]

well you could have just said "i'm a dirty hippie" to those who were clueless
but for the few who reconized you it would have been cool...
you bought the stuff to be chong, it's kinda sad.

[Coffee]

I didn't really buy anything :P I wear that kind of thing normally.

[The Angry Hippie]

Other that that, my day was fine.

I got a nice denim shirt that actually gives me 90% of a decent Tommy Chong costume if I can't be bothered being non-risque this Halloween, since I'll be working...

And I got a really nice pair of canvas sneaker style shoes, but suede leather for a really good price, and since I just killed a pair of canvases (£6 in February) I don't mind shelling out £18 for a pair that should do me through the winter. I hear suede can get waterstained, but they're already black, and y'know... What the heck. It's like they say with white sneakers; only two kind of people buy them - people who want to show how clean they can keep them, and people who want to show how dirty they can get them. I'm definitely in the latter category.

Also, I had dinner out with some good friends, and then we had chocolate banana brownies.
damn you! call me a liar...make me search...

[Coffee]

Yeah, I bought a denim shirt. But I actually quite like denim shirts at the right time/place... Except that it turned out to be more of a jacket. it's still pretty nice, and only cost me £3.50.

Just went to 5mm! Yay for enlarged super secret piercings!

[Coffee]

faaaaaaaail

[The Angry Hippie]

damn u imma figure it out...
u and your friggin super secret links.

[The Angry Hippie]

damnit i give up!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I knitted 1/20 of a scarf today! Woo! 'Cept I'll never finish it cause it was my first time learning and I left it elsewhere, plus have no needles to finish it with. Nor yarn. I gotta get me some of those.

[Muffy_Stopheles]

Nice! That's really neat :)

I think so :)


*throws cookie in your face!*
Don't give me your cheep cookies!

You wan't? Want not? *laughs*

[goofipinay]

Bummed, Sad, Kinda mad

My mom won't take me to VA Beach...so I can get my $40 dress form
Grrrrawr! She's making up excuses too
Like, starting stuff early, my grandparents getting mad, blahblahblah
They're all lies for her not to take me

AND
I'm had my license for 4 months....
STILL won't let me drive alone, because she wants me to get a car
WHICH I CAN'T because I have to pay for a $5000 trip to Europe (and a $500 trip to Boston and a $100 trip to DC for Orchestra, because we're "so good")
Which I won't get if I don't get this dressform (because I won't be able to make a bajillion things efficiently w/o it)

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

So apparently Marilyn Manson's "Mutilation is the most sincere form of flattery" is about MCR and how he thinks My Chemical Romance are pitiful and sad. I do happen to agree.
Then the MCR fans are like "F*** you Marilyn! MCR is 100% sincere and awesome! I love them!!! You suck!"

XD! I love MM even more now.

Article about it:

Gotta love MM.

[Coffee]

To be perfectly honest...

I think he has a point.

on the other hand, I think he's not much better for having written and recorded a song about it.

[The Angry Hippie]

I love Marilyn Manson and i'm glad he wrote it.:p

[The Angry Hippie]

To be perfectly honest...

on the other hand, I think he's not much better for having written and recorded a song about it.
Music is his medium in which he express himself. How do you suppose he should have made his point?

[Coffee]

Music is his medium in which he express himself. How do you suppose he should have made his point?

It's fine, so long as I don't have to listen to it.

[The Angry Hippie]

why speak.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

True, he didn't have to write it.

But I really like that he did.

Plus, someone has to piss the MCR fans off.

[Coffee]

why speak.

If I liked Marylin Manson or MCR, I would have said so.

I posted to say I like the sentiment, without liking anyone involved.

Went to Blacksburg VA today with my friend Marcie and her 2 kids and my 7 year old. The purpose of the trip was to go to the "world" market and pick up some "exotic" food. Basically it was a good excuse to get together and go someplace different. I found the most of the things I was looking for, mainly ingredients for Japanese cooking that I can't find in WV. The trip was a success even though I took a really bad road on the way there. I had a good time but we are leaving the kids home next time.

[Coffee]

last time I went to an exotic food store, I bought a 3 Musketeers.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Apparently, there was a top secret nuclear bunker in a hotel in the USA that was kept secret for 30 something years in order to hide the US Senate and Congress in case of nuclear bombs.

That kinda pissed me off. Like, government is like a game of chess. As long as the player's life is protected, our lives are disposable. They get to play and control our lives, but if they make a bad or selfish choice, we pay for it and they walk away protected.

I may have not been born during the Cold War, but I'm pretty sure that the people did not asked to be thrown into a state of constant danger, but the first priority is protecting the people who got them into the situation in the first place.

I just don't think that their lives should hold a higher position over everyone else.

I know it would be impossible to protect everyone, but IDK, maybe I'm just angry for no good reason.

[The Angry Hippie]

If I liked Marylin Manson or MCR, I would have said so.

:confused:...what...

[Tampopo]

I'm having one of those 'I'm dissapointed with the entire human race' moments....

[throbbingheartsic_kio176]

those are fun fun fun.

[Tampopo]

Except Kanno Youko.


She rules. I'm never dissapointed with her. Ever.


No kidding, go listen to her stuff. Even just the iTunes samples are good enough to make you in awe.


I mean, just because of her, I legitimately want a melty kiss.


(http://songza.com/z/z285y4)





& I'm really excited right now. I've been doing a partial media fast for the last forty days. Today is my last day. I'm glad to be back in the swing of things entartainment wise, but it was actually really nice avoiding most media for the last month & some change. I had a lot of time. But on the other hand, now I get to know what ahppened in a crap load of series.

[suburbanjungle]

Here I go again..off into uncharted territory...I have a sense of where I'd like to go, but starting out is the oddest thing.

I finished reading Alice In Wonderland today..it seems really short. Working on Through the Looking Glass...which is curious, because I've always toyed with the idea of reflections being otherworldly in a way. Rather childish, but...XD

[Tampopo]

It's list time.


-menstration is a good thing.

-peeling tape produces x rays.

-I have a crap load of homework to do tomarrow.

-halloween was good. I went trick o' treating. I think that some of the people that I got candy from were younger than me >_>

-I'm chemistry challenged

-I freaking love spats.

-I'm still mad at my friend for running away. Not she can't even vote because she's registered here & not there. But no, she won't come back because she wants to be lame. Well, I'd like to see her live out her idealistic plan of getting a well paying job & renting an apartment with one of her flighty risk buddies, all without a high school diploma. Really. I'd like to see it. (again with the lack of sympathy.)

-I still want a melty kiss.

-I've been thinking about how much I like boys, but also how much I dislike humans in general. It really hasn't been the best combination of tastes for me. This is why I don't have a boyfriend.

-This week is going to be amazing. I get to go camping with some of my favorite people.

-Bush is president. I just thought I'd say it while it's still true.

-I wish I had a cute asian boyfriend. I don't have enough cute asains in my life....

I hope my friend can take me almost an hr away so I can get my cheap dress form
I have to pay him gas money
If he had a small car instead of a huge truck, maybe I wouldn't have to pay >:O

My boyfriend went to a college fair
My mom told me too late that I could go
Now I'm stuck here, hoping he picks me some brochures from GMU or the Art Institute of Washington..

i love boys, hate humans. but we all are. so i figure that we might as well just accept the fact and look beyond it. everyone makes mistakes. i mean, if you hate humans, who else are you gonna spend your life with and have melty kisses with? your dog. lol. ew. i'm pretty sure that's illegal. but yeah, you get my point.

School House Rock is a bad educational movie for children, it is very inaccurate.

"The Great American Melting Pot" suggests everyone came to the US on their own will and were welcomed with open arms. I'm not suggesting give them the gruesome details of the treatments of all different kinds of people who came here in search of hope, but don't lead them on to believe were a perfect country with no problems.

I guess I just don't support sugarcoating education. It takes a lot to suddenly make the transition from thinking the US has always been great and wonderful, to realizing how many different races have been subjected to cruelty and such. So don't lie to them in the first place, maybe it'll be easier.

It's just funny how that movie makes everything look like a joyous occasion, even the "workers" picking the cotton who happened to have really curly hair were grinning away like they've secured the greatest job ever.

Though School House Rock isn't all bad. The songs about parts of speech are good.

I prefer Conspiracy Theory Rock.

Here the "Great American Melting Pot" that is wrong in so many ways
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWJ4udW41Ns&feature=related

Here the "Great American Slaughterhouse" that tells it a little more accurately.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbIvPhZ3IsQ&feature=related



That being said, race doesn't matter IMO, and I hold no prejudices, but history should be told accurately and not sugarcoated. Even to little children.

School House Rock should not be taken in as a legitimate source of information...I suppose it's a teaching tool though (or was).

My head hurts. Again.

Is it wrong to be extremely upset when my boyfriend decides to hang out with his friends instead of me?
When he promised this weekend for us
Then decides that Friday was "his day alone"
Yesterday was "basketball day"
And today is time for his friends?

Yes, we have a 4 day weekend
But, he knows I don't have time tomorrow or Tuesday

It shouldn't be taken as a legitimate source of information, but it still is. Teachers still play that for their teachers, cause students would rather watch videos instead of read, even if the info isn't accurate.

Really? The only time I ever saw School House Rock in school was for the song "I'm Just a Bill"...

You reminded me of another "trend" (a human act, true, not fashion, but, still) is this weird stigma that reading is bad or weird.

I couldn't count the amount of times when I was in high school and someone would ask what I was reading... and then why. I would say, "Because I want to." and they would act all weird... "It's not for school?! Why read it then?"

Or

"You've read that book before, why are you reading it again? You already know how it ends..."
To which I would respond, "You watch the same movies more than once, don't you? You know how those end."
They would say, "Oh, but that's different!" .... Right.

I find that most people are lazy idiots who are surprised when you aren't one too.
For example, people freak out because I read books that aren't only 3 1/2 pages long. It pisses me off, whenever a teacher gives a book report, you her everybody either doing a book they've already read, or a book thats like a 100 pages. C'mon, we are in high school, books that short should not be allowed.
I find that reading takes you to a whole new world where TV and movies can't. A show is limited by a budget and availability of special effects, but their no limit on how creative an author can be.

Like me and my friend kept up with the Harry Potter series since they first came out(when we were in elementary school) and now that they are over, we know what happens. We were discussing it and someone comes up and is like "How do you guys know how it ended?! That movie hasn't came out yet!" And were like cause we actually read it instead of being lazy, then they are like they'd rather just wait until it comes out in theaters. Then they ask us to fill them in so they aren't lost...

Apparently, there was a top secret nuclear bunker in a hotel in the USA that was kept secret for 30 something years in order to hide the US Senate and Congress in case of nuclear bombs.

That kinda pissed me off. Like, government is like a game of chess. As long as the player's life is protected, our lives are disposable. They get to play and control our lives, but if they make a bad or selfish choice, we pay for it and they walk away protected.

I may have not been born during the Cold War, but I'm pretty sure that the people did not asked to be thrown into a state of constant danger, but the first priority is protecting the people who got them into the situation in the first place.

I just don't think that their lives should hold a higher position over everyone else.



I know it would be impossible to protect everyone, but IDK, maybe I'm just angry for no good reason.

That bunker is literally about a mile from my house. It really wasn't such a secret. I knew that it existed 20 years ago. The guy that they interviewed on the blurb on yahoo has worked at the Greenbrier hotel forever but I can garantee that he knew that the bunker was there shortly after his first day of work, everyone did.

I also know for a fact that if a nuclear war had ever happened while the bunker was supposedly such a secret, no one not even the hotel guests or staff, would have been allowed into it. Gotta love our government at work. I've lived in this area most of my life and I've never taken a tour of the bunker.

Bla haha.


One of my myspace friends has one of those obnoxious truth box apps & they've been posting a bulletin about it every five minutes trying to get people to truth them up.

It was really bugging me so I was decided to 'give in' & posted in their happy little truth box "You post too many bulletins. It's annoying."

& it's not like that little occurance is all that funny. It's more the fact that apparently after they read that they deleted all of the bulleints they had posted that made me laugh really hard.

Ah, silly humans.


That's pretty much it for now.

I find I agree with you completely. :)

Books are amazing, end of story. I've had people tell me they hate reading, and it always flabbergasts me (heehee flabbergast). Like, my future sister-in-law's boyfriend saw my bookcase (FULL) and said something to the effect of "Wow, have one of you read all of those?" I replied that I had, and had read all of them at least 4 times. He was shocked. And then went on to say he never reads. *facepalm*

One Christmas, my boy spent nearly $100 on books for me. :o

I think the post wasn't unnecessarily long. You had a reason. :)

[klc1168]

Hey I agree with both of you. I learned to read at age 4 and never stopped. My children are also voracious readers. Since I have gone back to school, I don't have time to read for pleasure and it is killing me.

I've had to scale down my books a few times. I have developed a system that I cannot allow my books to overflow the bookcase so I will sell them at yard sales or ebay this allows me to buy new books. That way, I purge the books that I'm not likely to reread, I save space and I get new books without having to shell out a lot of money. I hate to part with any book but if I don't, I'll be up to my eyeballs and there would be no room to walk. Speaking of....my birthday is coming up soon and I know exactly the gift that I'm buying myself. Sergie Ludenyenko "Twilight Watch". I'll have Thanksgiving break to read it.

I'm so proud of my youngest daughter she wrote out her Chistmas list and one of the things on it was "a lot of GOOD books"

[Coffee]

I love to read, but I have two problems...

I read books too quickly, and forget that I've read them, and also, I hate to read books more than once, generally.

So it's quite annoying because I can start a book I don't remember reading, and then I realise that I have read it before, and I lose interest.

[goofipinay]

Ahh, I love Harry Potter books
Much better than the movies
Probably the only SERIES that long that I'd read
(I'd read other long books, but maybe not a series that long)
Oh! Have you read Kite Runner? I love the book! I haven't seen the movie yet =[


No school today or tomorrow
I plan on sewing, hopefully getting that cheap dress form!

[The Angry Hippie]

Us: 9
size 9's should be 4-5 stitches (depending on yarn) per inch... so decide how wide you want it and multiply inches by stitches and there you have it:).

what kinda yarn are you working with?

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I have no idea! I'm new to this and when I went to Walmart, I was overwelmed by the multitude of colors and such. So naturally I picked a pick thing of black yarn. It says "WORSTED - MEDIUM" Then there is a picture of a roll of yarn with a 4 on the package. It's 364 yds and 198 g.

I know you probable didn't need all that, but I didn't know what you meant by "whay kinda yarn are you working with?"

[The Angry Hippie]

is it acrylic? and whats the brand?

[The Angry Hippie]

and what stitch are you doing? like are you knitting every line or are you pearling too?

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

It says 100% acrylic. The brand is RED HEART |SUPER SAVER|.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Knitting every line, I have no knowledge of pearling, yet.

[The Angry Hippie]

thats good. that means you don't have to worry about your edges rolling up or blocking (which really can't be done well with acrylic)

If they yarn calls for size 4 needles and your going with 9s it might be pretty loosed, it's not a problem but if you want that tight garter stitch look you could double your yarn and knit 2 strands at once.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I think it calls for size 8 needles, cause on the bottom it has little squares and a picture of knitting needles then under that it says 8 US and 5mm.

[The Angry Hippie]

well then sweet.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

K. LOL. I just got started. I'm knitting a scarf for someone. If it turns out good, for me, if it turns out okay, for my sister, and if it turns out horrible, I'm going to scrap it and re-use the yarn.

[Coffee]

US size 9 needles are kinda small, right?

Hmmm... Give it a few rows and see how wide it looks. It also depends on how wide a scarf she likes, and how much yarn you have.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Yea, their pretty tiny. I probally shouldn't have gotten this size, but once again, I was overwhelmed and didn't know what I needed. It's lucky I picked a yarn and needle that went together.
Yea, its a good width I guess.

[Coffee]

Give it a few more rows. Once you've got enough length that it hangs off the needle, that gives you the natural width of the thing.

But other times, it's just a matter of trial and error. I think I'll manage a bit more knitting tonight. The giant needles are tiring, but the progress is quite fast.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Yea, its hanging off, its wide enough. If she unhappy, I'll keep it and knit her one in colors shhe wants.

[Coffee]

The bad part about gifting knitted things is that non-knitters don't always understand the time and effort that goes into it.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

It is hard. I kept getting the first part wrong, so I kept starting over. The first part is always too loose and then curls at just one end.

[Coffee]

That can happen with certain cast ons.

I use a slingshot cast on, and have to use a size larger needles because it's very tight.


I'm cookin' Chile! Unfortunately, I prefer ground beef, but we only had cubed. I also wasn't able to get red onions. But y'know, you improvise. I did manage to get some San Miguel really cheap, so it's in the pot now. Another couple hours and it'll be ready!

[The Angry Hippie]

9s are 5.5mm... i actually consider them some of my larger needles... most of the crap i do is on 4-7s

Ya i totally agree with coffee people really don't understand how much time/work knitted things can take... a person that doesn't knit just does't get it. that's why when i'm done i like to count my rows and add up total stitched XP... the baby blankey for a friend i knitted in size 4's with sock wool took over 37,000 stitches.

so your doing a scarf 20 stitches wide... and it takes 7 rows to knit an inch... lets say you make it 4 feet long thats 6,660 stitches for that scarf.

[Coffee]

in the UK, our old needle scale was inverted, i.e. an 8mm needle was size 0, so I assumed a size 9 was quite small...

5.5 isn't too bad, but I don't stray that far down usually. I prefer to work from around 6 or 7mm upwards.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

That's ALOT of stitches!
Maybe I'll get done in a year, if I don't start over again!

[The Angry Hippie]

It is hard. I kept getting the first part wrong, so I kept starting over. The first part is always too loose and then curls at just one end.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Aww! I'm watching a show where a young guy invites a friend over for dinner with his family. The girls ends up being pregnant and the family freaks out and instantly blames the boy. Turns out that he didn't impregnante her, and is just her friend. So later on in the story, it is revealed that the girl was not sexually active, but was raped on her way home from school by a guy who was never caught. Then later on, it is also revealed that she wasn't the victim of a random rape, but instead raped by her step-dad.

I don't care what you may think of it, but you gotta see how sad this is and support abbortion for rape/incest victims.

i hate you safety glass.

I have an essay to do tonight. I also have to read some chapters out of a book and then summarize it. Then I was hoping to have some time to study Chemistry, cause I'm completely lost. I also have math HW, and Spanish. I also need to re-organize my binder, cause it looks like crap.

But I'm the computer. I thought it was a good use of my time.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I really hate the show "What not to wear"
*shock* A gay guy doesn't like a show on TLC! Espcially one about fashion?!

Anyway, their like saying only one style is right and it is horribly wrong to be an individual. I mean, some of those people's looks are horrible, but theres not only one style that looks nice.

I have to defend What not to Wear here. They usauly help out people who have no fashion seance as it is and they are usually helping them become more professional.

If you have your own style that's rad and wear it when you can but when it gets in the way of your professional career you ether need to change career or you need to change the way you look.

I agree.....MOST of what they teach is about body shape and what sorts of shapes look good on that body...I have learned A LOT from them..but still make my things original or whatever....I just keep basic shapes in mind now when I do...I've found that I don't get the "what is she wearing" look quite as often as I used to..now I usually get the "I'd never have thought to put that together...but it doesn't look half bad" look....

hows your scarf coming?

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

If your talking to me, I saw a new pattern for a scarf where you purl 4 then stitch 4, but I got alittle discouraged when I couldn't purl right. So I started over on my old one. But it's better then the first one, cause I kept droping and gaining stitches making it sloppy.

Knitting like anything else worth doing right takes practice. I've frogged many an item several time before I got it right. In fact the baby blanket that I'm currently working on had to be torn apart twice and it is a super easy pattern but I lost count smurfed it up. I'm still not certain that I have enough yarn since I'm using stuff from my stash.

I love Clarke & Dawe (http://www.youtube.com/user/beanisacarrot), they make me giggle!

Now I have the "Happy Halloween" song in my head.

Oh, and it just hit me today. The President-Elect lives about a mile from me (but not for long, yo).

I survived my hospice rotation and it wasn't as bad as I had feared. In fact I had a really good day. I still don't want to become a hospice nurse but I now know that I could do it if I had to and it would be really rewarding.

Why is Veggietales so freaking funny?

My computer is officially FUBARed now. Tried to reinstall Windows to resolve every other problem it has, but it comes up saying the installation was incomplete. Unfortunately, I did it through the included system restore rather than from a boot disk... I don't have a boot disk, installation disk, or anything fancy like that.

I think I'll have to get it taken care of by the pros.

[Tampopo]

Woooo back from camping :)


This week was bomb.

[megziewoodles]

Vegemite on crumpets is the best idea ever.

[Coffee]

Never had Vegemite... Had Marmite before.


I used to like Bovril. Bootiful.

[Muffy_Stopheles]

Poor Coffee :( I hope your computer gets fixed soon!


... I love Cheerwine! It's so tasty. ...if you don't live in the southeast, you probably don't know what it is.

[Tampopo]

I love me a good california burrito, & if you don't live in cali, you probably don't know what that it.

In fact, you might even be a california native & not know what that is.


**props to anyone who does ^_^

[Muffy_Stopheles]

I'm intrigued... whassa California burrito?


(( Cheerwine is a cherry soda btw ))

[Penguen]

My favorite is Texas's version of French Dip - I will not eat baloney to this day.

Poor Coffee I feel your pain. My computer is not quite to FUBAR status but is getting close. I think I have gremlins in my CPU.

Hope you can get yours fixed. I may be taking mine to the exorcist soon.

see, it started when Norton wouldn't update. So I tried to install another antivirus, Kaspersky. But that wouldn't install, and uninstalled Norton. Then, I couldn't install any antivirus... So then I tried drastic measures.


Unfortunately, that didn't pan out.

well you could always kick the thing...prolly won't fix it but it'll make you feel better!!

[Coffee]

Nah, I can't afford to buy a new computer. In fact, I can't afford to fix my other computer, which was the one with the fancy processor and video card, that just wouldn't connect to the internet at all. At least, it was before I gutted it for parts.

On a loaner just now, probably hang back until next week if I can.

[broadwaybohemia]

Did anyone play with barbie not turn her into a total whore?

My barbies were ALWAYS naked. And I put her clothes on Ken.

No, really, I'm serious.

My naked barbies were always making out, too.

And my mother was surprised when I told her I was a lesbian.

And more surprised when she found out my BFF is a drag queen.

Who does Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[Penguen]

Anyone watch the new Viropop - "Drill, Baby, Drill". Man that still makes me laugh.

[ladyjanewriter]

I wonder what kinda puppy the Obamas will get?

I can't wait until this stupid issue posts online so I can GO HOME. Jeest. stupid internetz.

just made one of those things where you cut a circle out of a slice of bread and then put it in a pan and fry an egg on the hole in the bread.
i don't get it, whats so great about it?

I donno - the egg doesn't break? I think anything with bacon is better. :D

Gosh. I didn't realize the press was across from where I work! That was pretty quiet.

Sorry to be "all Obama all the time," but his kids go to school in my neighborhood, too. I don't think all the photographers and the TV cameras will let up very soon... :( I'm not sure how I feel about that!!!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Aw! Poor children, having to give up their privacy.

[ladyjanewriter]

Aw! Poor children, having to give up their privacy.

I know, it's weird. :( They're good kids. Uh, should I mention I'm wearing a "First Family" t-shirt? :o What?

and YAY Once I run these stupid scripts I can go home for the weekend yaaay! :D

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Lol. They seem like very good kids, but they do have very good parents.
Like for the Baracks to have alot of money, his kids did not grow up spoiled.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

This girl is such a whore!

*Kinda graphic description*

She has pics on FaceBook with just her and her sister in underwear, and it looks like they were like peeling off their underwear. Boys are like flocking to her page and telling her they wanna ... her and that they should hang out some time. Then she's pregant and her boyfriend left her.


Did I mention she's 14?! She's freaking overdeveloped. I don't know her, but my Facebook says I might know her. But it's just ridiculous, the type of pictures she has on the internet for everyone to see since her page isn't private. Pictures with just her with a really small coat on. That's unzipped and she's squeezing it together.

[Coffee]

What I find weird are the spam MySpace pages with one thumbnail picture of a girl in her underwear, and the link to a website...

And yet guys still comment on the picture of the girl!

[The Angry Hippie]

anyone have a bread maker?

[Coffee]

Israel Hands is the best Pirate name ever.

[The Angry Hippie]

why?

[bzarrr]

well? they dont.

[Coffee]

Well, it was the guy's real name, and it was before the nation of Israel was founded.

Also, Blackbeard shot him in the leg once.




I'm watching QI.

[klc1168]

anyone have a bread maker?

I do and I actually use it. I don't normally bake the bread in the bread maker cuz I don't like the shape of the pan or the way it tastes. I use it to make dough and then bake it in the oven. I got mine at Goodwill for 5 bucks and I've had it for almost a year.

[bzarrr]

are we watching the same episode?

Um dude? Overdelevoped girls are way more common than you'd think.

Like how I had visible breasts at the tender age of 7. I am SO not kidding. I had to wear an A cup bra at 7.

Maybe you don't notice cuz you're gay and don't look at irls boobs anyway. :P

we call that "egg in a nest" my kids love them....I don't actually cut a hole in the bread tho...I just make a little rip...then push the top and bottom edges to make the whole big enough..and slip in the egg....we spread home made jam on them and they gobble them up...
never thought of adding bacon.....humm....how do you get the bacon in there with the egg??

[jsedai_77]

anyone have a bread maker?

I used to...it makes WAY to small a loaf for my fam...and it's a weird shape...
and it takes for EVER to make a loaf of bread
I switched to a Bosh (I think) mixer it's designed for bread makers...I can do enough dough in one time to make 6 loaves of bread...then I let it rise..like twice...divide into the loaves..let it rise again...and bake...all in all it takes about 20 min to have the dough..and depending on how warm it is like an hour before I'm ready to bake it...then it's just a matter of rotating the bread around like when you do laundry...each one doesn't take all that much time/effort on my part but it takes all dang day long cause you spend most of the time waiting.....I usually do bread and laundry on the same day....then I just walk back and forth between the laundry room and kitchen...but when I'm done the house smells all clean and bready..mmmmmm bread

Honestly, everyone knows that their are young girls out there who start sleeping around with guys at an incredibly young age. But I mean, it just shocked the hell out of me. I know she's far from being the only girl who does it, but I mean, she's 14 and her parents let her wear shirts that say, "I hate nice t*ts, don't I?"

Is making bread cheaper than buying it?
Or does it just taste better.

[broadwaybohemia]

Haha I beat you Saintlike! By a few seconds!

[broadwaybohemia]

OMG I just saw the link in your siggy to thinkB4youspeak!

That gave me a lot of really good comebacks for the "that's so gay" offenders!
