Hehe :) Whatever people say about this thread, seems we're the only ones having a nice time at the moment

(like a red rag to a Jess?)

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 21:15 (twenty-two years ago)

well this is the only thread I've read so far today. which ones should I avoid?

It sounds like all of them. I was posting on the christmas kitten thread, that seems perfectly supertwee and okay. I haven't looked at much else given what people are saying about the hostility/drama.

Though I'm morbidly curious. Somehow you always want to know what's going on and who hates who and who's having a tantrum. But doing the reading to find out is depressing.

I've gotten in the habit of telling my dad I love him. He may never respond to that and may think I'm an oversensitive idiot (hm, not entirely wrong there). But so the fuck what. It really did scare the shit out of me when, just for a few minutes, I thought something had gone wrong with his surgery (hospital misinformation).

I've been listening to an Elizabeth George book on tape. It's pretty good, I like what I've read of her mysteries. I have another suspense/mystery thing (an airport-novel type book) but the writing or the expression or something just seems too crude to me.

My mom had picked up a novel for me a few weeks ago that turned out being a really really bad romance novel, and it was just hilarious. The sex scenes were just priceless--they were trying to be all sexy but not too detailed. Implied sex in books is fine. Explicit sex is fine too (quite). But writing that attempts to be in between can be really comical sometimes. Bad writing can be really comical anyway, I suppose, especially when it's describing sex. I don't write all that well myself but I am nonetheless a snob.

I need to come up with library ideas. If anyone has suggestions for authors who write compelling stuff that is kind to those with a limited attention span but which is decently written so as not to inspire disgust... email me (hotmail username j_bdules) or whatever. Taste is a variable thing of course, but suggestions help.

I frequently have a hard time finding books I like anymore. I am a concentration-limited grump.

Anyway, hi all! NA, "yams" sounds cool.

Shit that was long, sorry. I'm either kinda quiet or verbose somteimes.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 22:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Have you read P.G. Wodehouse? That's what I often read when I want something easy to read and terrific.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 22:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I am getting a bit melancholy looking at the threads that are great and readible -- like the Finnish proverb thread. Or that Gareth revived my airport postcard thread because he wanted to send me one. And a few others. And it's frustrating because, you know, the drama threads are poisoning so many other threads, or drowning so many out, and I'm starting to feel all hippie and whatever thinking, you know, is this really what we want to put all our effort into? Snapping at each other? But at the same time, of course, this is what happens, this is all part of group dynamics. So, oh well.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 23:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I'm feelin' the love too, Chris!

Shall I do a cartwheel? / *whee!* /0\ *whee!* /

(Hope you didnae see me knickers then)

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 18 December 2003 02:54 (twenty-two years ago)

fuckit why does that never work! bleddy html

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 18 December 2003 02:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Only a day and a half of work to go this year! WHOOT!

― robster (robster), Thursday, 18 December 2003 11:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I am so fucking tired and I don't understand how I can be so busy at work when I'm only working here 4 more days. Shouldn't they be phasing me out or something? But hey, only 4 more days.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 18 December 2003 13:33 (twenty-two years ago)

You call those knickers, Trayce? They're barely pieces of string!

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 18 December 2003 13:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I finished my instructions booklet yesterday. I injected it with lots of humor and a little letter to the new person in the form on an INTRO. Hopefully, my boss will be too lazy to actually edit it and I can be done with it for good.

Today I finish going through everything on my desk.

How is everyone this morning? I am cold and Sleeeeeeeepy.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 18 December 2003 14:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel physically sick to the stomach, violated, betrayed, lied too and generally freaked out. I really wish that I didn't feel like this.

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Thursday, 18 December 2003 14:14 (twenty-two years ago)

For you, Kate:

(How come when I googled for an image of honey, I got a pic of a breast with honey dripping off of it?!)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 18 December 2003 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Urgh. My eyes feel like burning.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 18 December 2003 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

i woke up with massive congestion. bleargh.

congrats to sarah and nick on almost being done for the year!

since the 3 broken windows in my classroom are still broken, I had my kids all pick up their desks and move down the hall to an empty room. ahh warmth. :)

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 18 December 2003 14:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Smart thinkin'! By the way, my mom says Hi. I was telling her how someone actually took your school tote bag from your car. She said she never believed her students that said their siblings and dogs ate their homework until she had kids and saw my sister and our dog eat homework.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 18 December 2003 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

your sister ate your homework?! bizarre. . .

yeah i'm still pondering over some of the questions your mom put in my head. she's a cool lady.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 18 December 2003 14:43 (twenty-two years ago)

It was actually my youngest sister who chewed on the other sister's homework. She was very very little at the time, but yeah, basically.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 18 December 2003 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm in a smart-ass, funny mood today. Which for me is a definite improvment.

But I think I've pissed Dan Perry off. eep.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 18 December 2003 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I got my homework stolen when I came back from Italy. Left my bags in the front room and went over to my gf's. Got a phone call the next morning from my dad telling me all my stuff had been nicked - including the essays in Italian I'd slaved over :(

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 18 December 2003 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm hung over. I got mega-flirted with last night. By girls. Young, 20 yr-old girls. They were cute.
But after avoiding three other Christmas parties, I think I might the right choice in going to that one. Because there were theses 20 yr-old girls there who worshipped me.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 18 December 2003 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm doing end-of-term grades now and my playful mood has just come to a halt.

One of my students was killed in a car crash about three weeks ago. I didn't know her very well despite having her in my class two years in a row. She was a notorious truant and probably didn't come to school even a dozen times. Nonethless seeing her name just now in my gradebook made me feel kind of sick. :(

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 18 December 2003 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not posting this to the moderator thread b/c I'm afraid of further pissing of his royal Dan-ness. . but Sarah I'm sorry I accidently left you off my "Ilxors met" list! (oh and Maura too, but I knew her pre-ilx so I guess that doesn't count) Yr special though since I met some of your family. :) And got one of yr Grandma's yardsticks. heh.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 18 December 2003 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Goddamn, I'm in a realy good mood. I just have to share that since it is a very rare occurance for me. I'm not full of anxiety or annoyance at the moment and am actually looking forward to the next couple of days for no particular reason at all. wow.

That might all change when my 6th period devil spawn arrive in 20 minutes. . .

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 18 December 2003 15:58 (twenty-two years ago)

good for you!

― El Santo Claus (Kingfish), Thursday, 18 December 2003 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm feeling better.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 18 December 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Pain in the head...

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:20 (twenty-two years ago)

what wrong?

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Not enough sleep + jackhammer at 6 am + a roomful of screaming 6 year olds first thing this morning + not gettin' any = pain in the head.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:23 (twenty-two years ago)

So, nothing really, I'm just sleepy, and mind-numbingly bored at work.

I need to be entertained, people!

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:24 (twenty-two years ago)

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

That'll work, I'm easy.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:30 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe should be ME talk like tarzan now, me so confused !

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Is that Tarzan or Bizarro-Superman?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Does it matter, really?

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Depends on whether you want a swinger or a meathead, really.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Sugarpop, I'm not entirely certain I can afford to be picky.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

luna needs a link to a "Tarzan, Frankenstien & Tonto" video, STAT!

― El Santo Claus (Kingfish), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:41 (twenty-two years ago)

See - when I'm not around, Tittytwister gets like a room full of Seinfeld!

"And I dreamt of a house haunted by all you tweakers with your hands out."

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Bizarro no talk like not-this.

Tarzan talk this like.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I await your Bizarro-Tarzan translational grammar.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 18 December 2003 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'm just going to listen to this song a few hundred more times until lunch time.
