I enjoy the butternut squash. I usually add cumin or ginger or nutmeg to it.

Amanda! You should henna!

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 20:18 (twenty years ago)

xpost - I like them - good and light. I should put that on the kitchen confessions thread. I buy and enjoy boxed soups.

Unfortch, you can't henna over regular hair dye. Your hair will turn green.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 20:18 (twenty years ago)

Rather, my hair will turn green.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 20:19 (twenty years ago)

poop. really? green?

i think you'll look gorgeous with luscious brown hair.

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 20:19 (twenty years ago)

How about that? You're right. I took this from hennaforhair.com

"Compound henna does NOT play nice with commercial hair dye and other chemical residue in hair.

People who have itching, blisters, or serious allergic reactions to para-phenylenediamine hair dyes often want to change over to henna hair dyes.

Compound henna often reacts badly with synthetic hair dyes and other chemical hair products! If you use compound henna soon after you have done your hair with para-phenylenediamine dyes, your hair may be brittle, trashed, and may turn frog butt green or offshore sewage outlet black. Compound hennas have metallic salts which react disasterously with the ammonia in synthetic hair dye. Problem is ... many pre-mixed henna powders do NOT have these ingredients listed!"

Thank you! It's time for a change. I'm ready. I know a girl who that happened to and the results were tragic. She had pretty hair too.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 20:21 (twenty years ago)

sounds cool. dying your hair is fun, and dark brown is of course hott.

― Juulia (julesbdules), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 20:49 (twenty years ago)

I am irrationally excited about the hair dyeing adventure I am about to undertake. I might even do it tonight, unless I decide to do homework instead. (Note: I should really do homework...I have a take-home exam that is staring at me with the most evil set of eyes.)

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 21:50 (twenty years ago)

Oh my dear sweet baby jesus this is making me laugh. Possibly NSFW (profanity)...

Choose Your Own Adventure (SomethingAwful style)

I guess it kind of helps that I read a lot of those books growing up.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 21:55 (twenty years ago)

I think my favorite was "Holy Shit Where Am I?"

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 22:04 (twenty years ago)

"Of Course they Gave the Black Kid a Knife" made me lose my shit.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 22:08 (twenty years ago)

I liked the Mircale Worker cover.

If you want to go back to sleep, turn to page 36.

If you want to make coffee and watch Star Trek TNG dvds, read on.

Why does everyone have smudges on their foreheads today????

― Jeff. (Jeff), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 23:14 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha. Ash Wednesday often comes as a surprise to me. But not today. Today is the beginning of a profitable time in the seafood industry. My Fridays especially!

― jesseOooo, Wednesday, 1 March 2006 23:18 (twenty years ago)

Let the record show that Trader Joe's Triple Ginger cookies are fucking awesome.

THE RECORD WILL SO FUCKING REFLECT.

I need some Trader Joe's ginger cookies, STAT.

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 23:42 (twenty years ago)

Why does everyone have smudges on their foreheads today????

There was a fire. A big, big fire.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 23:44 (twenty years ago)

When does the Jaynasta show happen? Hm? Who will be there? I will! Who else?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 23:50 (twenty years ago)

OH MY GOD The book that is now "Buttfucked by Gayzilla" and was originally "Revenge of the Rainbow Dragons" was seriously my favorite CYOA book. Ever. EVAR.

Especially the part with all the buttfucking. By gayzilla.

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 23:50 (twenty years ago)

Not me, alas. I got insufficient sleep last night, and I'm going to yoga where I will likely fall off my mat, a lot, and then I'm going to go home and die.

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 23:53 (twenty years ago)

A good ending to a good life, I suppose.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 00:45 (twenty years ago)

JENNY NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 00:56 (twenty years ago)

But Jenny! You've got an appointment on Sunday! You can't die!

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 2 March 2006 00:59 (twenty years ago)

I've never known anything about ash wednesday. I thought it was all just a big joke people were playing on me.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Thursday, 2 March 2006 01:05 (twenty years ago)

No, it's a big joke the Catholic Church plays on Catholics.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Thursday, 2 March 2006 01:42 (twenty years ago)

So I guess I am going to this show alone? Ah well.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 01:53 (twenty years ago)

Hey, I would go with you but I live WAY UP NORTH and I have loads of hair dye on my head.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 02:22 (twenty years ago)

Meaning: I am going to have a new head of hairs shortly. I'm excited!

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 02:23 (twenty years ago)

I wish I had a religion where I could draw on people's faces.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Thursday, 2 March 2006 02:42 (twenty years ago)

Look out world: I have a whole new head, and if I do say so, it looks remarkably good. At least right this minute it does. Yay! New hair!

It's not green, it didn't fall out. A success. You'll see it soon.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 03:09 (twenty years ago)

xpost You could invent one. A friend and I once invented a religion called "urinism," one of whose major tenants is that you must always urinate facing north. The holy text is called the Book of Stu. Stu was quite a guy, it seems.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Thursday, 2 March 2006 03:12 (twenty years ago)

Yay Amanda! New hair is very exciting.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Thursday, 2 March 2006 03:12 (twenty years ago)

I don't care how north you live, Amanda, you are still required to meet up with me at some point.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 07:45 (twenty years ago)

All right, who's the joker who left the ILX-related graffiti in the backstage bathroom at the Empty Bottle in Chicago?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 07:47 (twenty years ago)

Also, for jaymc's benefit: We ended up walking the whole way home from the club. It was a nice walk. In Portland, we walk places.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 07:47 (twenty years ago)

xpost!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 07:47 (twenty years ago)

Good for you!

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 07:47 (twenty years ago)

You should have walked with us.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 07:48 (twenty years ago)

I'm much further north. Plus, I had a car. Which, now that I realize it, means I probably should've offered you a ride. But I still had to schmooze a bit.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 07:50 (twenty years ago)

You are someone who it does not pay to be subtle with, I suppose.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 07:52 (twenty years ago)

Aw man.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 07:56 (twenty years ago)

It's totally cool, it was a nice walk, A. and I got to talk about assorted things. But, you know, I will try to be more direct in the future. It is not my strong suit.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 2 March 2006 07:57 (twenty years ago)

I'm not dead. I just slept as if I were.

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 2 March 2006 14:11 (twenty years ago)

Yaaay, Jenny's not dead. I have brown hair. Chris, how long will you be here?

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 14:16 (twenty years ago)

PICTURES, AMANDA!!!

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Thursday, 2 March 2006 14:51 (twenty years ago)

I wish I had some -- I can't get photos to download from my camera to our new computer but maybe I can figure that out tonight. So far no one at work has even noticed. What's up with that?

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 14:54 (twenty years ago)

I was exceptionally tired this morning, dispite getting ample sleep . . . maybe all of america suffers from the same?

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Thursday, 2 March 2006 15:12 (twenty years ago)

That must be why no one has noticed my new head. Too tired.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 15:14 (twenty years ago)
