Wait...

what is a Poetry Slam anyway? I didn't assume any kind of competitive-ness involved...

[Fooly-muffin]

My girlfriend is sweet =)

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Yahoo! Widgets is really helpful and cool.....

[goofipinay]

Poetry Slams are like...when a buncha people and poets are together in a group and the poets read their poems

[kate]

who judges?

[goofipinay]

well the ones I go to, no one really judges
it's usually like an Open Mic kinda Poetry Slam

so I dunno if that's how they all are..there are probably some with judges and little prizes

• A new study found that male monkeys will give up their juice rewards in order to ogle pictures of female monkey's bottoms.

• 45% of any dollar bill you have ever owned has been in a stripper's G-string

• Every year, 100 men are diagnosed with breast cancer

[Coffee]

• Every year, 100 men are diagnosed with breast cancer

Whereas around 8 to 9 thousand are diagnosed with testicular cancer, and 230 thousand with prostate cancer.

And where is the funding, I ask you? WHERE?!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

•45% of any dollar bill you have ever owned has been in a stripper's G-string

Uhhh.... EW! I will no longer execpt dollar bills. Only quarters.

It seems as though people on the forums are becoming too relient on everybody else for idea. Everyday there is a few thread on what they should do with the stuff they have. DIY is supposed to be on what you what it to be. They should use Threadbanger as inspiration, not a strict guide. If they use it as a strict guide they do-it-yourself will be taken out of DIY.

[suburbanjungle]

@saintlike: There are a lot more threads asking for ideas, but sometimes ideas are hard to come by when you're sopped of inspiration. XD It usually seems like when they do make something though, it's a little different than what someone suggested. There's a ton of ideas floating around on here, there's bound to be repetition...but yeah, you've got a strong point.


I finally sewed most of my hoodie together! Now for the zipper and the hood - gosh, I hope I have enough fabric! o_o The unicorns say hello to everyone. :rolleyes:
I get to see my sister in two days! Yay! I haven't seen her since August, so I'm pretty excited. I should go make cookies...

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Yea that is what I'm saying. You should use it as inspiration, not wait until everybody tells you what to do.

Congrats on the hoodie and seeing your sister. I was in the middle of making my hoodie. Yet, my sewing machine was acting stubborn. Don't worry though, Kate came to the rescue with her thread on what to do when your sewing machine isn't happy.

[pygmypuff]

Disney is so much funnier when you grow up. Especially High School Musical/ stuffz like that.

I wish my little (half)brother didn't bring with him Zelda Phantom Hourglass on his vacation with his mom, I only got to play it this weekend, seriously wanna play more of that game. I got the cannon and got to the ghost ship, like. That game rocks.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I remeber when kid channels were like all cartoons. Now they are just teen shows.

[kate]

Saintlike - glad my thread helped!

[Fooly-muffin]

I shuld do some homework right now....*sigh*

*slowly dragging self' away from forums*

[xrawrxxrawrx]

ima gonna turn the TV on now.

[yes_my_name_is_envy_XP]

i am bored. and my bedroom smells funny lol.

[callmespecial]

Wait...

what is a Poetry Slam anyway? I didn't assume any kind of competitive-ness involved...

Well, there are some non-competitive ones, but this was an inter-scholastic competition. The poetry teams from a bunch of different high schools came to compete. It's not really a competitive atmosphere though... Everyone was really encouraging to the other teams. There were 5 or so judges from Youth Speaks, which is a slam poetry organization.

Yeah. It was super fun. Sorry for the late reply, It's 1:00 in the afternoon and I just woke up. I was at the poetry slam last night until about midnight.

[goofipinay]

I have a b&w photography project
and all the film my teacher gave me was exposed
NOOOO :(

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING IS A RANT!
My teacher surprises us with a project one day in class. Then like next day he is like, "Surprise! Your project is do in a half hour" then he laughs. Then next day in class he goes' "Now, you have two days to organize a informational brochure on ______ theater and create a skit about it and assign roles and make lines then memorize lines then make costumes about your time period and be ready to present."
Then he hits us with, "Your group all gets the same grade and if one person does bad you all get the bad grade"
Normally this wouldn't be to bad, if it hadn't been that the boy that I always work with hadn't picked the worst person in the class. Its not even that she is a bad actor, she is just lazy and refuses to work when she doesn't like the project.
Rant over!

[callmespecial]

Ugh... I hate teachers like that. My science teacher is kind of like that. He'll give us a really complicated test, and then about a minute later, he'll say, "Okay, turn it in," when, obviously nobody's done. When someone asks for more time he says, "Nope, and it's too late for you to turn it in. Too bad."

[ladyjanewriter]

I'm awake and I shouldn't be. La la la dooby doo. I should've done some sewing today, but I took a nap instead. At least I went to the drugstore and picked up stuff, and did the dishes like I said I was gonna.

Is it wrong that I'm happy about my bf working on Thanksgiving, so I can sew while he's out? If so, too bad. *g*

I mean, it's a bit of a bummer, but ALL THAT FREE TIME! :):):):):)

I wish I could be alone more often. I was pretty lonely as a kid, but I like being alone and working on projects and blanking out the world.

[kate]

omg, my friend came over and we watched tv and we drank soooo much wine and I'm all loopy and happy... I love being an adult...

[kate]

holy crap, it's past 1am, I need to get to bed. The boys wake up at 7am which is so soon...

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Oh yea.... Rub it in!

[miss.green.tea]

uwah im so glad i almost have all my friend's presentsss figured out so i can start them in the next few days~~~ YUSH

i hope i'll finish x____x

except i don't have any cloth that matches for some of them...
i wish i could just find some nice fabric lying around the house... even if it's just half- or quarter-yards........

maybe i should just go and make a hat or something and not stress about it just yet:rolleyes:

[glass__onion]

i like cheese. heh.

[miss.green.tea]

i sick >____>

and i'm getting a flu shot today (or was it tomorrow???) they say you're supposed to be in good health when you get any kind of vaccine shot like that...

but i always get sick right before getting one??? eh?

ooooooo weeeeeell i think i'm getting better anyway~~

[Rainshadow]

I really have to pee.

[pinoyblaze]

I really have to pee.

::points to corner::

Sorry the bathrooms are being redone. :rolleyes:

[kate]

Oh Pino, at least hand out a bucket...

[Rainshadow]

Meh.

[callmespecial]

Oh Pino, at least hand out a bucket...

lol. I went camping in minnesota boundary waters (on a canoe trip over the summer). The "latrines" were quite unpleasant. I won't go into detail.

[Maiflowers]

You have to pee? what are pants for?

Once when I was little I was walking home and I had to go really bad and I couldn't hold it in so I peed in my pants and covered it up with my coat untill I got home and rushed upstares and changed. I don't think anyone saw. I think I was like 7 but I still remember it.

ohh popcorn

[Kiira-chan]

@miss.green.tea - Unless you have flu symptoms, its ok to get the flu shot. My dad is a doctor and thats what he told me when I had a cold and an appointment to get mine.


I have a really icky test in 14 hours that I haven't really studied for. And I am so tired of my friends abandoning and only coming back when they need a ride or food. I just want to go home and be with my boyfriend. I miss him too much.

[pinoyblaze]

Oh Pino, at least hand out a bucket...

but... i don't own a bucket. n if i did, i don't want pee in it! :D

aah, yea i figured it out~ they had this notice on the door that said that minor cold/fever wont screw it up sooo.. i'm fine!

except my arm hurts now >>

BUT on the bright side i went out and bought some GORGEOUS fabric for purses (to make my friends for the holidays) for 50% off the normal price!!! a;ldkf yes!!!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I just read something that I thought was hilarous. Okay I'm quoting here. ".... and preps don't wear clothing just because it is expensive or the logo, they buy clothes from brands they trust and know they will last; like the brands above." The brands above were Aeropostale, A&F, Hollister. I just thought it was funny.

Oh, smurf crap! My friend bough a ton of shirts from those kinds of stores that fell apart immediately. My mom mended them for her, but said that the construction was terrible and they'd just fall apart again.

[callmespecial]

Yesterday I went into this shop that made skirts, bags, muu muus, etc from recycled materials. I tryed on this skirt that fit really well, and looked really nice. But when I looked at the price tag, I was like, HOLY SMURF! It was something I could have made easily, but was $90!

I left the store pretty quickly after that.

[Coffee]

Well, at least it might get people with disposable income recycling.

Smurfs.

[miss.green.tea]

i really want to go give my mom a hug...

<333

[Coffee]

I don't think I'm destined for great things. Just odd things.

Whenever I think about work, I can't help myself from thinking, y'know... I should be out there doing something... Weird.

I knitted scarves for some of the girls at work. They asked for them. They're pretty good. The Keyhole Scarf I've shown before was one of them, the other one was in the same vein, slightly different size and colours. Everybody was impressed. I'm charging them two pints each to cover the cost of yarn.

I also have the urge to travel. I'd like to try living in the states.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Wait Coffee, you don't live in the states? Oh, well just find a good part. There is few, but some are okay.

[Coffee]

Actually, I live very close to the original Houston, in Scotland. It's so-named because the Houston family owned the whole town. It was one of their sons who went to the US and founded the city in Texas.

I dunno. I'm attracted to New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

But I suppose Washington state wouldn't be too different from here.


I have never eaten a Twinkie.


Ironically, I was on the American Football team at University. This wasn't hard, as we didn't have enough players for a full team anyway.

[kate]

I've never eaten a Twinkie either - I doubt we're missing much!

[Coffee]

It's also why I spell Colour with a U.

But, y'know, a chance'd be nice. I used to live down the street from an American Deli, which is where I got my KILLER Chile Con Carne recipe. But I'm generally... Very confusing, or very confused. I apparently sound variously Irish, American, Canadian, and Kiwi. I've been mistaken for a Maori on two separate occasions.

But still, not being in the States hasn't stopped me from drinking Mad Dog! Whoooooooooooooooooooo that's good Paint Stripper!

[Aurora199]

Well of course colour has a U in it....

For more differences in spellings check out this page:
http://www3.telus.net/linguisticsissues/BritishCanadianAmerican.htm

[goofipinay]

haha yea
tis America that changed the spelling
my class actually had a test about it
and how slang words came to be (like "okay")

I think...why New York? I wanna go there...but my orchestra teacher's like...stingy about picking who gets to go play at Carnegie Hall... GRR!

ugh man
it started last year when I was first chair, and he hated me...to the Zero Bell (which is the bell that's gonig to Carnegie Hall)....and not letting me IN it...to the "I'm gonna pick extra people out of Zero Bell to go, too"....but the "No, Sophomores aren't as good as Juniors" (LIE!)
and this year, I'm not even first STAND cause he has favorites...he denies me of my skills xD (okay, maybe not. but it's not right)

top orchestras in our school in order are:
Zero Bell (Symphony)
Sophomore Bell (Chamber)
Freshman Bell A (Gold Orchestra)
Junior/Senior Bell (Concert Orchestra)
Freshmen Bell B (Blue Orchestra)

[pinoyblaze]

I dunno. I'm attracted to New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Come to Cali and save me from the monotony!!!! :p I need a reason to visit San Francisco anyway. Also I think you'll fit right in. Odd is everything in San Francisco. I once was walking down the street there with two friends and these two guys, one on a skateboard and one on a bike giving each other high fives and yelling, "SKANK SKANK SKANK YEAAAAAH!"

Ah, I love San Francisco :D

[miss.green.tea]

omg eeew i'm going to santa barbara tomorrow and we're staying until sunday and i still have a load of stuff to do before monday and i REALLY NEED TO STOP PROCRASTINATING!!!

but anyways,that must suck

how do you guys get tested for chairs?
do you go into a room with him facing the opposite direction so he won't know who it is?
or is it the way we got tested in jr. high; at your current seat for all to see

haha,it's cool have an orch bud here
haha

[goofipinay]

oh. hah! I think it's cause our school's getting to be known cause of the orchestra...that's why we have so many...

and it sucks cause he loves certain people
I want it to be like a blind audition or something, but noooooo
we only do those for our exams

I want to visit Lou Reed's New York, you know? The Ramones' New York. Blondie. Talking Heads.

I want to visit The Bowery.


I'm odd. I'm very highly-strung, but quite laid back. I worry the West Coast might be too laid back.

[crystalzemoose]

no,i hadn't seen that but pop(you know what i mean by pop) songs aren't really hard to arrange. no offense or anything. that's pretty cool though.

i live in the valley (an area really close to mex) so not many people appreciate orch. but we have been told our director and orch is the best south of houston. we've tackled pieces colleges and symphonies have been too scared to play.
you guys should play the fourth movement of the walton sonata for strings. it's crazy. haha
we should have a video of it up soon.

where are you guys? like is orch more popular there?
i live in a football town so band is the center of music in everyone's hearts here.

haha well the guy who arranged it is getting so many calls, he's earning a lot of extra cash by selling it to other orchestras
I dunno, I really think my orch teacher likes putting me in crappy orchestras
but I like what we're playing...Concertino in G (Sammartini), Sonata da Chiesa 11 (Corelli), and Canon in D
too bad "concertmistress" SUCKS...so she can't lead.

[glass__onion]

so are the girls
they're pretty

I got fabric =D not exactly what I wanted, but hey! now I can make my Christmas present =]

oh yea...I think my teacher threw out Canon, though...he said maybe us violins could just form quartets and stuff xD

[crystalzemoose]

cool,ensembles are always fun. i make sure i'm in a quintet so i can play with one of my best friends. she's a bassist. :D

[goofipinay]

I always end up being in a duet
I dunno why, but I guess it works =]

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I have to bring in a odd prop for theatre class and I have no idea what to bring...
Plus he made us put our props in his unlocked, unwatched closet. Somebody's psp got stolen. Hey, but who would bring there psp to school as a "odd prop".

[glass__onion]

congrats saintlike_ontheoutside for becoming a DIY Superstar!

for the odd props, you should have brought in nothing.

hey, a prop that is nothing is pretty odd...

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Yay somebody noticed! I feel loved!

LOL, that is clever, but he wouldn't think so. He's rude, during our group's performance he made fun of us out loud while we were performing. It's hard to get out there and act infront of your whole class, including many uperclassmen; but even harder when everybody is laughing.

I'm thinking of bringing in empty spraypaint cans, they aren't odd, but I they fit his guidelines.

[klc1168]

I have to go back to work and I don't wanna. If night shift sucks as much as day shift did I'll be wasting my time. I'll be loopy by this time next month. Working 2 jobs is cutting into my "me" time.

that really sucks. if you get a chance to create your own play, you should write one about a rude drama teacher whose students get revenge. though he will probably get really pissed.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Can x-acto blades cut fabric. It would seem so much easier if they could... I'm gonna try it.

[kate]

I would imagine there would be lots of pulling and drag if you cut fabric with an x-acto blade. But they make rotary cutters for cutting fabric which make cutting a dream. Since it rolls over the fabric it doesn't pull it.

[disisshuey]

i always wanted to post on this, but i always felt i should read though everything b4 posting...not going to happen, so...life...i need 1!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Nah! The topics are inconsistent on this thread. So reading through it all wouldn't make much sense.

Wow, I think I'm going to get one of those, because my fabric always has raggedy edges.

I can never find a shampoo that helps my hair stay straight but doesn't leave it greasy because its REALLY greasy. I use volumizer because of the grease reason but it takes longer in the morning to do my hair. *le sigh* I hate my life (not really)

Me too, goofipinay. Even if I don't have any [good] advice...lol.


I'm having a freakout moment! My g-ma gave me a Learn How Book for crocheting, knitting, embroidery, & tatting - whatever that is. The real kicker is that it cost 10 cents. The copyright date is 1941! The pictures are absolutely hilarious. I'll probably post pics once I can find my camera cable...XD
Other reason for freakout - THE FOO FIGHTERS ARE COMING TO WHERE I LIVE! *dancing in glee* My friends mom has some hookups or something, so she's going to get us tickets. I'M SO EXCITED! XD

[pinoyblaze]

d:D ...yup

[goofipinay]

I'm okay
We talked and I just gotta get over some stuff..you know like the past and all..realize that sometimes things aren't done on purpose

I'm almost done with his present, though ;D
I wanna stuff the bag, though...but what..hmmm

^^^^ Yay!

I'm all paranoid and cranky at work. I think I'm seriously beginning to drive my supervisors nuts. We're rolling out a new web-page hosting platform, and I know outsourcing this is going to seriously smurf things up.

This makes me feel better, tho:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGBmE_QPdxw&feature=related

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

OMG!!!!!!!!
I was sewing and the thread kept popping out and hitting me. It not the fact that it was hitting me, more than the fact that after like every 10 stitches I had to re-thread it. I changed the thread to the good stuff. First it cuts better and doesn't fray. Two it stopped poping and now my stitches are tight. All that time all I had to do was put in a different spool. Now I now not to buy that cheap kind.

[ladyjanewriter]

Yeah, it's mind-boggling how BAD the cheapo thread is! It's just so so so so so sooo baaad.

[KellesBelles]

Yea....thread is one of the few things you don't want to buy the cheapo brand. I think most have learned that the hard way though....

Today has been a good day for me. I figured out how to make my sewing machine go smoothly. I've had the house to myself. Now, I successfully pinch and pinned one of this 3xl shirts into something I could actually walk in.

[ladyjanewriter]

Yay, saintlike! Wooooo!

[goofipinay]

something bad just happened
and I dunno everything that happened
or how to feel

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

What happened?!!? Huh! Huh! The suspense is killing me. I mean..., you don't have to tell me.

[goofipinay]

I dunno exactly
I know it's bad...and I know it has to deal with my niece =[

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Sorry to hear... Hope everything is o.k.

[goofipinay]

I hope so, too..
No one answered when I called my sister

the thing is...my sister's a nurse..so when she freaks out, it means something IS wrong >.<

[suburbanjungle]

Oh..dear. :[

So I finally got around to getting pictures of that 1941 How-To book...I posted links because I'm too lazy to resize them and they're HUGE. :)

partial table of contents. and sheesh, those projects are smokin'!

[cutestoneofall090]

this guy told me to send him a pic of me, so i did. to make super long story short...he want me to send him a pic of me topless. then i got mad and he said sorry, so i forgave him. i think i might like him, and this scares me because he's kind of perverted

[kate]

ew, topless? That's a little... weird. I mean, not weird that a guy wants to see a topless girl, but weird to ask for it. Be careful! Red flag!

[Coffee]

Aren't you, like, 15, though?

That's kinda... Illegal.

[MamaSasss]

I have to agree with Coffee and Kate, cutestoneofall090.

BIG RED FLAG!

[MamaSasss]

HUGS to you!
I hope everything turns out all right.
XOXO

And yes red flag red flag red flag! I hate creepy men. I am seriously tempted to find him and kick him in the smurfs.

***Edit:

suburbanjungle, that's a great book!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Yea, he seems like the type of guy who only wants one thing. Also @ Coffee, it is not illegal as long as they are either both underage or overage. But it is still creepy and very wrong, especially if he just met you.

[goofipinay]

Tis okay, now
she (my niece) is coming over to visit me
I wanna give her a BIG hug and now I wanna make her something special so she knows I love her =]

yea I hate creepy guys too
I got stalked at Michael's yesterday o.O

[Coffee]

Well, any kind of sexual relationship's legality would be generally considered to be subjective rather than objective, depending on the relative ages. Statutory rape is the general verdict on all underage relationship, except where covered by a Romeo & Juliet law. That's the case as to a physical sexual relationship, there's generally no such exemption granted where images are considered; they're all considered child pornography, regardless of the initial recipient.

[kate]

Coffee's right, ya know. Child pornography is no joke!

Huh????
You have to be right, you used big words. What is the Romeo & Juliet law?

[cutestoneofall090]

I'm not 15, and another creepy thing, whenever i have class with him, the first five minutes of that class, he stares at me. this scares me, a lot

[Coffee]

Huh????
You have to be right, you used big words. What is the Romeo & Juliet law?

Romeo and Juliet Laws are fairly local laws which govern the general legal response to an underage sexual relationship. Whereby, they tend to apply an age difference which they will respect as being healthy in terms of a sexual relationship.

So in some states, it's illegal to have sex under 18, but if you were 17 and had sex with your 18 year old boyfriend, he likely wouldn't be prosecuted for rape for it.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Ohhh Okay.

[suburbanjungle]

...I'm bummed out. I reallllly want to go to this Foo Fighters concert [it's in February...tickets are going on sale Saturday] but everyone who said they'd go just dropped. -_-; My parents say I have to go with at least one other person [which makes sense] so I don't know if I'm going at all...*sniff*

Awesome, MamaSasss! I went to London on a tour with my school group. Trips are definitely funner with friends.

[glass__onion]

my mom just brought a ton of transparency paper from work... now i can make really awesome stencils! hehehee...

[glass__onion]

oh and congrats mamasass! have fun in London.

[everclaire]

threadbanger.com, you keep me up too late at night looking at all your fun and interesting ideas, and then I'm all groggy and messy-haired at work the next morning, and I yawn all day, and then I finally get home after a long day and you keep me up late AGAIN!

for shame!

[glass__onion]

ummmmm i hope your complimenting this site by saying that.

[Miss_Gagarin]

hum...

Next to me at work next there is a plan/poster printer. Should I be evil and use it to print the patterns from burdastyle?

:confused::confused::confused:

[Coffee]

It would be evil NOT to use it to print plans.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I agree with Coffee, but if your not supposed to be cautious.

[goofipinay]

yay craft show's tomorrow :)

there was an ad for it in the newspaper
I was chosen to make it this year, until one of the colleges offered free graphics designers...so they thought they'd be better
poo :( I wanted to make an ad!

come by =D Imma be there selling raffle tickets xD

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

My good friend moved away today all the way from MD to Michigan. It was so sudden, she only told us a few weeks ago. Now she is gone, I am really sad.

[Coffee]

I missed a Glasgow Craft Mafia event last night.

I wanted more yarn, dammit!

[goofipinay]

I've been entering giveaways lately
who doesn't love free stuff?

it's not like I ever win though =[
except for once, I won a book xD

mm oh I hope I get something. it'd be grand :)

[Coffee]

The more you enter, the more you win!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I once won a free trip to a baseball game from my elementary school raffle and dinner.

[goofipinay]

hah man that's big!

I'm trying to win skate decks or shoes for my boyfriend for Christmas
I have his present, and I'm still thinking of stuffing it (I dunno what!!!)
But....I figure, it doesn't hurt to try, anyway! :D

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Our news here in MD has free give-aways like everyday. I called in once and won a free special-edition Napeleon Dynamite. They ask if I was over 18, me not thinking says "No" and they hang-up without even saying "Sorry, you're not eligble". I should have said yes, then handed the phone to my mom.

[goofipinay]

geez that's rude!

I doubt we have anything like that around here...

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Yup. I call there now and I never win. So I am kind-of disappointed. Other than that, I never really win things. So i guess I'v already had my share of luck.

[goofipinay]

Yea...kinda sucks when you have luck when you don't want it or think about it -.-

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Yup, I've been rather unlucky lately. Hence my depressed mood today.

[goofipinay]

aww =[

I've just been tryin to STAY happy..you know?

and my bf keeps asking me what I want
but I don't wanna tell him...cause I wanna be surprised
plus the only thing I want is this BEAUTIFUL necklace...
but you know.. -.-

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Well, my friend moved away today and I feel so unhappy and alone. We weren't even that close. It mabe is because another friend of mine is leaving in a week. They are both moving out of state. Now I guess I'll just feel lonely in my classes.

[goofipinay]

Well it just means you can find new friends!
You can always contact them online somehow
my best best friend moved last summer, and we still talk =]
we don't talk as much, but we still act like we're bff

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I never talked to them out of school, just in school. So I guess I'm just worried about it being ackward, or worse I never see them again. I also feel this way about high school. In a way, I want to graduate today and be in college tommorow. But another part of me wants to stay in high school forever with all my friends.

[CaptinMcCracken]

I'm ashamed of my generation, and proud to be apart of them. I fell nothing for them and there twisted ways and I'm proud to shun them. There ever blinded and I look forward to seeing were there lemming line leads.

[Miss_Gagarin]

I'm gonna do it during lunch hour next week : then I'll be alone in the office...

Evil, sweet evil me!!! :D:D:D

...

evil-ly print patterns from burdastyle at work, that is...

Nice! Don't get caught!

This the first time I've been on a comp since my laptop died a month ago. I am still mourning the loss of all of my pictures. including the one's of my dad's wedding.
It feels like I lost a family album in a fire :(

I also mourn having to go to work in 2 hours.

*Sings very horribly* Today for you, and tomorrow for meeeee!

[kate]

I saw the musical in SF years ago and fell in love with it. I bought the soundtrack and I love that too! I haven't seen the movie - I'm afraid it's not going to live up to the show. Like reading a great book and then watching a horrible movie adaptation of it and then the book kind of gets ruined for you.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Yea, I know what you mean. I've never seen the play, though.

On another topic:
Does anybody know how to link websites with words. Like it will say, "Visit My Website". Then when you click the words, it will take you to there website. I'd search for it on my own, but I don't know what it is called.

[kate]

I do, I'll pm you.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Lets see if I can do it.

The Best Website (http://www.threadbanger.com)

Yay! I did it. That is awesome! Thanxs again, Kate.

[kate]

no problem.

I was born in the 80s.

Think about it.



Also, I just can't stop knitting! Haven't picked out a major project yet. I'll need to pick one soon, though. 'Course, me and a friend are going to make Skull Kilts at the same time, but until then, I'm just knitting around. Made a nice unusual scarf with Banana yarn, BO'ed on it last night. Added a little YO row, and used some K2Ts to decrease it along one side, so it came out assymetrical and funky.
Right now I'm throwing 3 balls of novelty yarn together 5 stitches wide, and it'll probably come out a bit odd. Might throw in YO rows.
Did an interestingly net-like scarf with a skein of black denim yarn and some silver/white yarn I had lying around for colour. Came out quite interesting. Can also be used to trap small animals and fish.

[goofipinay]

I just came back from my school's craft show
it made me feel soooo horrible about how I made stuff...
their things were SO perfectly made...probably better than stores..

I wish I had money...I only got my mom to buy me a glass beret
I wanted the butterfly necklace but... =/

Well anyway....I was a student volunteer...it was fun =] we were selling raffle tickets for a wii, while playing a wii xD

[suburbanjungle]

Your school has a craft show...?! Is it an art school? I remember someone talking about how they went to one, but I can't remember who. :confused:
And a glass beret...? I'm tempted to do something with the beret I got from french camp, but I have no idea what...hmm.

yes...we've been doing it for years...but I just found out about it this year
it's sponsored by the athletic department..

omg they're sooo good
I was upset that not so many people knew about it, but since it IS at a school.......but people were coming from all over to sell their stuff
I wanted EVERYTHING :(

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

My school sucks. As long as the seniors have money for their prom and trips and the athletic teams has money, they don't care. There is no funding for theatre, arts, or anything else. This is why I don't participate in fund-rasing, because they tell you who is getting the money. We had this fund-raiser, were we all put in change in our grade bucket and then after we all put in all our money, thinking we as a grade were going to get something, they tell us the seniors get it for their trips.

[yes_my_name_is_envy_XP]

i like being short. I can lean on my boyfriend and listen to his heart beat. it's fun.:rolleyes:

oh wow
each separate club has to do their own fund raising in my school...
it sucks, though...cause the spanish club organizes a summer trip (not through the school, it's not allowed..so they go to the public library to organize it)
but the french and german club can't go anywhere..like..at all!

[goofipinay]

Yea, It is supposed to be like that. All the other clubs have to earn their own money. The people on the SGA though, chose to do alot of fund-raiser just for sports and seniors. So people in sports and people that are seniors, don't have to raise any money, because the student government doe it for them. Basically the SGA (Student Goverment) raises money, they get to choose how they spend it. Guess who they spend it on???

ooh, hmm..
cause ours is the SCA (Student Campus Representatives..?) well...anyway, that's combining freshmen class president (and all) with the SCHOOL president (and all) - which are seniors
so they get money for everyone I believe

[pinoyblaze]

i like being short. I can lean on my boyfriend and listen to his heart beat. it's fun.:rolleyes:

awww that's soo romantic :D

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Yea, we have freshmen representatives too, but they are all on sports teams. So they agree with them. So basically it like a compromise between the freshmen-junior and the seniors. They all get money for sports and the seniors get money for prom and trips. While the rest of school wallows in misery because they were born late or are not athletic.

[yes_my_name_is_envy_XP]

awww that's soo romantic :D
yeah...everyone says were "so so cute together":p

[Coffee]

I got DomiKNITrix today! It has a different Mohawk Hat to Pretty In Punk, but it's not as cool. Bit more complicated, too. Quite a bit of attitude.

I did all my Xmas shopping too.

And I got a copy of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and a couple of CDs, which was cool, and I got a pair of Converses at 60% off in a store closing sale. From £35 down to £12.80!

I'm so tired. I keep snoring and annoying my bf, and he has to shake me awake to stop my snoring.

***Edit:

My bf's not being a jerk when he wakes me up - I gave him permission to wake me up so I can turn over and stop sounding like a buzz-saw.

[kate]

I kick my husband in the shins when he snores...

I feel like a**. I was up way too late last night hanging with friends and drinking wine. Oof. My belly hurts...

[MamaSasss]

Kate...you rebel. ;)

[kate]

What's rebelling is my STOMACH!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I really don't like immature people, are overly-competitive people. Or worse, immature, overly-competitive people.

[ladyjanewriter]

ow, my shoulder still hurts. I slept on it wrong yesterday.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Help! I'm stuck in front of my computer!!

This place is so busy now. I used to read every post, but now when I get a chance to check out the new posts list, there are like 5 pages. My research is winding down so I'll be able to play here again soon :D

[suburbanjungle]

Haha, TB seems to have a strange magnetic force...

I'm hooked on the song "27 Jennifers" by Mike Doughty. It's absolutely amazing, and I really don't know why...but I like it!
Tomorrow...is going to be boring. I don't know how I live through 6 six hours every day of people talking on and on about boring things..

[Fooly-muffin]

WHy can't I get some extra sleep?!
Always up first 'cus I have singing lessons
while my friends get atleast two or three hours of more sleep
*sigh*

[pinoyblaze]

Pino is Awake

yesssh he is

n hungray!!!!!

*eats virtual cookie*

[Coffee]

I'm hungry, but not in the mood to eat.

And I'm smurfed off about my job. Not because the job is bad, but because I don't see a road out that I'll accept.

I could get a better job by:

a) going back to school (not going to happen, because a; money, and b; inclination)
b) going corporate
c) insert other choice here

I don't know. I don't have a career. And if I had a career, I'd want it to be something I enjoyed, or was good at, or at least that I knew would still be a marketable skill if I needed it to be.

But I'll be damned if I make personal development plans. What the smurf good are they to anybody? Having a plan is only good if you stick to it, and whjat's the use in trying to plan out what kind of skills you'll need? I was sick of education because it was saying one thing but doing the opposite. I was learning that we were supposed to free our minds to learn in our own ways.

And getting homework assignments and group projects and essays to write about how we were going to learn in our own ways!

what's your job?

some places give night classes...everyday or a couple times a week
you could do that....so you're still earning some money while going to school..?

[UnluckyGirlovesDIY]

I'm a checkout monkey.

It's not having money while going to school I'm worried about. I couldn't afford to pay fees. And I'm just sick of formalised education.

[kate]

And I'm just sick of formalised education.

Me too.

[Coffee]

And I could've had a relationship in the works, but it's not moving at all. Which is annoying.

But hey, just gotta keep knitting. Plenty of fish in the sea.

[yes_my_name_is_envy_XP]

it's kind of weird having dating your best friend's boyfriend's brother. but then again we do have alot of fun together......lol

[Aurora199]

Mmmmm..... I'm cooking cabbage rolls....

Too bad I can't eat them 'cause I'm going to freeze them and have them for Christmas Dinner. :(

[Maiflowers]

I riped the crotch of my p.j pants. hhmmm to the sewing matching I go.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

It supposed to snow tomorrow, and I wishing for a SNOW DAY. I seriously doubt it though, we will see or at least 2 hours late.

Yesterday, whilst running to the bus stop in fearing of missing the school transportation system. I ripped my jeans, so I had to run back home. Whilst in a hurry to switch jeans, I ripped them further. Now my favorite pair of jeans have a huge rip going up the leg. I would have sewed them up, but I'm scared it is going to have this huge, awkward, noticeable seam going up one leg.

Maybe you could repair them and then add a patch, appliqué, or beading.

I keep veering between wanting to be healthy and eating right and physically in shape, and not wanting to deal with random men's comments if I do get in shape. I hate it, it's really overwhelming at times. I don't want to keep my b*tchface on at all times, but I might have to. I think this is half the reason women own ipods, sometimes.

***Edit:

AAAAAAAA!!!! Nick and Jeffrey from Project Runway were at my University alma mater. ARRRRRRRRRGH. Why was that school such a piece of crap when I went there?????? I know it was in transition, but DAMN.

And evidently Jay McCarrol stopped by. SonovaSMURF!!!

Yeah, the only thing you can do about it now is knit.

And also, perl.

[kate]

Dang Coffee, you sure love your knitting. Are you on Ravelry?

[ladyjanewriter]

I think dyscalculia and knitting don't mix terribly well. *g*

[Coffee]

Dang Coffee, you sure love your knitting. Are you on Ravelry?

Nah, I'm going to wait for when it's open to the public.

And I'm not really on any knitting-specific communities, yet.
I want a little bit of experience first.

[kate]

You know what I want? A sewing community. I want Ravelry for sewing!!

[suburbanjungle]

And I'm just sick of formalised education.
Me too..and I'm only a sophmore in high school. It's pretty much the school I go to, but there's nowhere else I'd want to go...plus my friends are here, so..yeah. Blargh.

Also, just wondering if anyone's had a need to graph functions - like f(x) and y= square root(1-x)2...etc - other than in a class? My math teacher is really nice, but all she does is talk..and we're never shown a reason/need to actually use these things...grr.

Mama Cake...
Where are you right now?

[kate]

At home...

[kate]

Oh, I get it... No, I mean, Ravelry has a place for your stash, your projects you want in your queue, a library for your books... You know, more of an organizational kind of thing. I LOVE ThreadBanger, you know that!

[MADHACKZ]

yay my mommie is gonna join threadbanger. im making her.:D

Thing is...

You will use them, if you study more about maths. The amount of work you do with ANYTHING you learn is actually minimal.

But what you're learning in school is the basis for more advanced learning in the same subjects.


But I got sick of formal education because my college became too... Touchy-feely without backing it up.
I don't understand why they switched over a perfectly servicable and useful elective module each year in exchange for bland pop-psychology about learning to learn, without any understanding of WHY we learn as we do.

...my house STILL smells like cabbage...

Anyone know how to get rid of the smell? I burned a really strong liquid wax diffuser all afternoon so hopefully that helped.

set boiling water mixed with vinigar in the room, the vinigar will stink for a moment but it's a great deorderizer

Thanks for the tip. I may have to give it a try.

[ladyjanewriter]

Instead of going to the office Christmas party, I'm gonna go home and do chores. I just seriously don't want to go to these thingies anymore, it's stupid. I'm happy hanging out with co-workers, but there's at least one person in upper management that makes my blood boil every time I look at his stupid face. The thought of trying to hang out in the same room with him and act polite just...just curdles my eggnog! There.

[pinoyblaze]

spicegirls came and went. and I MISSED THEM cuz of work... damn it...

[CelluloidPixie]

Hi guys. I'm back for a bit.
What have i missed? 8^)
BTW, cottage cheese is awesome!

[ladyjanewriter]

I donno if you missed much? The latest Friday episode is up, but you saw that.

We had another good-bye party for a co-worker today. He worked here for 17 years!!! And found another gig. So I had some coffee and some baklava. And I made sure to give some coffee cake and coffee to the front desk guy.

I'm serious - it's like 2 people leaving per month. I wonder who turns out the lights at the end of the contract???

[Jelfish]

I'm going to Mexico (specifically the Yucatan) for winter break!! Camping + hiking + jungles + Mayan ruins :D

I don't think that's true regarding mathematics. The real problem is that specialized fields particularly in sciences are being short-changed because they are advertised as being for "smart people" and "nerds who do nothing but science 24/7" or are "boring" and "just too hard." The reality is that being in the science, research, or medical fields is really no different than any other job, except that a lot of your training is done in school rather than all on-site.

At least in the US, through reputation, heavy (artificial) competition, and implicit discouragement, kids today are put on an assembly line ending in a generic cubicle answering phones or in a fast food restaurant -- for the most part, a waste of human potential. The fact that calculus is still taught in high school is a residue of a more ambitious past. That most students don't even know why they are being taught such things is proof of this. Soon, the average high school will only teach the average student just enough to be an obedient cog in some corporation, stuck with no way out because of inevitable credit card debt.. what a shame.


And yeah, pop-psy is icky. Sociology is much more interesting anyway :p

Well I did a lot when I was doing my degree in physics, and I still do now that I'm doing a second degree in civil engineering. And my little sis uses them too, for she did a degree in math and a master in meteorology in order to be meteorologist (she's planning a bit more studies to become a climatologist soon... I'm so proud of her!!!)

but I guess we're freaks!!! (we both love maths)

No, we're not freaks. But if maths won't be directly useful in your adulthood, remember that while you learn them, you brains develops some analysing capacities and those you'll need to succeed in whatever you chose to do. Oh! and science pple don't need to be boring geeks : look at Jelfish and I :)

Man, who knew it'd be so difficult to find a decent kilt...

And expensive! Be glad you won't have to import it. :p

Hmmm.

OK, the PVC Kilt concept is very interesting. And, probably overly warm?

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I have a "D" in gym. I cannot say that I'm surpprised, though. I don't get dressed half the time. It's just because all of the overly-competive, arrogant people who make gym suck. It makes me sick how they single people out for torture, like a hawk preying on food. Yet, the teachers all seem to think, "Boys will be boys". I never understood that, yes we will be boys, because we are boys, but that doesn't give us the excuse to be jerks.


BAM!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I'm so estatic that my name was on this friday video. Wow, I know, I'm such a dork. TeeHeee, I'm happy.

I checked a nice vintage clothing shop today, but they only had really garish travel-rug type ones.

I was looking for something in a black, or at least a dark blue, maybe dark green.

:eek:

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

Have you ever had to listen to someone just trash talk everything you are or believe in, but cannot say anything because they are family and they don't know they are offending you. It makes you not want to tell them that your are, because of all the thing they have said. Take sexuality for an example.

I often wish that, too. Though, I think I'm crazy. I just wish some people would just drop-dead. Sorry, for being so morbid.
