I never grew up with Catholic guilt, so I may as well take on the liberal guilt.

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 16:24 (twenty years ago)

nothing kills a thread like guilt.

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 16:51 (twenty years ago)

I have Lower-Middle-Class-Lapsed-Seventh-Day-Adventist-Gay-German-Mexican-American guilt. Which is pretty manageable after a couple of beers.

Is it the 7th day folks that don't eat vinegar?

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 16:58 (twenty years ago)

Hell no. We ate vinegar like crazy. Mostly apple cider vinegar. We didn't eat pork (or other non-hoofed animals) or shellfish or fish without scales or other unclean foods. In retrospect it is interesting that I grew up with the word "unclean" as a not uncommon part of household language. It seems so exotic and biblical now.

foods/animals with some kind of barrier are okay? does that mean that bananas are good but apples aren't?

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 17:11 (twenty years ago)

Bananas are gross and apples are good. Thus saith the Lord, our God.

Food laws: think kosher, but less strict. Preparation does not matter, only source.

Amanda? I love Amanda. I neeeeed Amanda. Hug and Kiss, that is.
You mean ME? I didn't even know that you liked me, much less LOVED me! Are you talking about me? I'm going to pretend that you mean me. I enjoy kissing, hugging and being loved and needed.

Also; I'm still up for hanging out tomorrow night, if anyone else is? I was thinking Moody's, maybe around 8? They have free peanuts and cheap pitchers...

i didn't know people were hanging out tomorrow .. .. .. is it for laura's birthday?

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 17:48 (twenty years ago)

The snow, she is very pretty.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 17:53 (twenty years ago)

it is nice, isn't it? i was going to run a 5K today (once i finish with this physiology), but now I want to go to a movie. or drink hot chocolate.

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 17:57 (twenty years ago)

i didn't know people were hanging out tomorrow .. .. .. is it for laura's birthday?
Nah, she's in Cleveland with her fam, but I thought that since I have a free evening and I hadn't met Chris yet, maybe it would be an ok hangout night. So far the headcount is: me.

Another nice thing about Moody's in the winter: two fireplaces.
On the other hand, you leave reeking of french fry, but that's not a big deal.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:01 (twenty years ago)

what time?

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:06 (twenty years ago)

Does that mean that you're in? Yaaaay! How about 8?

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:09 (twenty years ago)

It means, "it depends" more than "i'm in" at this point. i'd like to meet chris . . . i'd like to get out of my house . . . but there are other stress factors. like moving NEXT WEEK. i'm moving NEXT WEEK!! argh! that said, i can probably swing by for a short time if nothing else.

sorry to whine so much.

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:12 (twenty years ago)

I can't believe there's this much Chicago thread activity on a Sunday morning, kee-rist.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:14 (twenty years ago)

Don't worry - I don't want to stay out late or anything, since I get up at 5 on Mondays and will be coming from class, where my brain explodes on a weekly basis. No pressure -- although if I'm the only one going, there's no need to go at all.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:17 (twenty years ago)

John, I'm calling you! Check your messages!

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:21 (twenty years ago)

he's on the phone right now . . . with me!

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:21 (twenty years ago)

My favorite hat just came to a sad end. I left it on top of the radiator, then turned the radiator on this morning, then smelled burning hair... egh. So now my room smells like charred animal remains, and my favorite hat has orange scorch marks on one side.

Fuck burning a hat.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:22 (twenty years ago)

he's on the phone right now . . . with me!

well, that's ok, I guess. I'll allow it.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:24 (twenty years ago)

And Nick just called me as well. Anyway, I'm going to my friend Brian's (a/k/a "jaymc's film-critic friend") Oscar party tonight. I might try to see Good Night, and Good Luck beforehand.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:28 (twenty years ago)

Bah. Away with you.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:30 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to Old Orchard to take my computer into the apple store. I'M FINISHED WITH MY PHYSIOLOGY TEST!!!!

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:31 (twenty years ago)

DUDERZ: Last-minute impromptu Oscar-watching get-together at our place 2nite, around 6 or 6:30ish. You are all invited. We will make some kind of appetizers, but if you want beer or other alcohol, please BYO (sorry). Please don't come actually expecting to pay attention to the Oscars, except for when Jon Stewart is speaking. If you don't know where we live, email me or get my number from someone. If you don't know where we love, be prepared for a surprise.

― n/a (Nick A.), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:33 (twenty years ago)

I called people for whom I had numbers. Kelsey, the number I have for you is disconnected.

― n/a (Nick A.), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:34 (twenty years ago)

If you don't know where we love, be prepared for a surprise.

Dude! Not in front of the children!

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:35 (twenty years ago)

Please don't come actually expecting to pay attention to the Oscars, except for when Jon Stewart is speaking.

I think I made the right decision.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:35 (twenty years ago)

my number: 733.DAMN.

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:37 (twenty years ago)

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:37 (twenty years ago)

xxpost Oh, we'll find out who wins and everything.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:37 (twenty years ago)

meh . . . i'm going to be offline for the rest of today. call me later, taters!

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:40 (twenty years ago)

Yay Kelsey! I haven't seen Kelsey in, like, a coon's age.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:41 (twenty years ago)

OMG I AM HI FOR THE 1ST TIME IN A COONS AGE

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:43 (twenty years ago)

If you don't know where we love, be prepared for a surprise.

Maybe it's just me, but this is still making me laugh. Best typo ever.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:43 (twenty years ago)

i just got a yellow card on the noise board, btw, for admitting i had a dream about killy last night.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:45 (twenty years ago)

That wasn't a typo, it was a weird joke. Intentional.

― n/a (Nick A.), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:47 (twenty years ago)

This is a lame waffle, but unless I'm forgetting about something else I have to do tomorrow night, I'm up for Moody's.

― Eazy (Eazy), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:47 (twenty years ago)

(But I'll double-check and know for sure, so that Manda is not left sitting alone in The Grotto next to The Fireplace eating The Fries on her own.)

― Eazy (Eazy), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:51 (twenty years ago)

Hey, I would go to your Oscar party if I weren't already blowing off another Oscar party I was invited to in order to complete my take-home Thai exam, which is really hard and is due tomorrow and has already made my head blow up.

We can revisit the Moody's plan tomorrow if anyone decides to change his/her mind and join me in The Grotto of Moody.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:55 (twenty years ago)

There's some funny wind action outside my window that is making the snow fall up, like the bubbles in a Guinness. Pretty cool.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:58 (twenty years ago)

I went to Tweet.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Sunday, 5 March 2006 19:02 (twenty years ago)

Hi! Come over to Nick's tonite to watch the Oscars with Nick and Sarah and Me and Kelsey.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 19:04 (twenty years ago)

Oh, and bring Jenny. She's alright for a girl.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 19:04 (twenty years ago)

I don't know, maybe. Sundays are for sulking for me, and I hate to do that around other people. We'll see!

― Jeff. (Jeff), Sunday, 5 March 2006 19:08 (twenty years ago)

You still have several hours left to sulk. If you get on that now, you will be tired of it by 6 o'clock.

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 19:10 (twenty years ago)

DEAR JAYMC SORRY I MISSED YOUR IM I WAS DOWNSTAIRS MAKING GRILLED CHEESE I WAS NOT HATIN ON YOU!

― tehresa (tehresa), Sunday, 5 March 2006 19:46 (twenty years ago)

OKAY I AM NOT OFFENDED, I HOPE YOUR GRILLED CHEESE WAS SOYTASTIC

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 5 March 2006 19:54 (twenty years ago)

Ooh, my new tea kettle sounds like a melodica when it whistles!

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 5 March 2006 20:13 (twenty years ago)

Oh nice. I need me a teakettle. I have an electric water-boiling thing which is cool because I can stick it in my bag and take it to work, but it's not exactly "homey."

― Shiny Maroon (kenan), Sunday, 5 March 2006 20:15 (twenty years ago)
