TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

Don't worry: a day of random chatter will cause all of last night to recede into the center of the thread, never to be found again.

yes that is what i am hoping. KEEP TALKING, PEOPLE!

lol tza

;_;

Hey guys, did you hear about tehresa's booty call? Discuss.

ok see that's not funny.

I'm sorry.

i had to ride my bike to a female coworker's house yesterday to pick up some work stuff. she lives at the top of a big hill, and when i got there, i was totally out of breath and drenched in sweat.

should i be embarrassed?

also, this is the first time i've been around to see a hott night on ITR wither in the stark light of the following day. i kind of feel like i should be waking up on a floor with a hangover.

more talking

i need to go out to get an a/c, but i just can't bring myself to step outside into the nasty heat.

I have to proctor this afternoon. Yay lording it over OTHER students taking finals!

Then afterward we are going out for my son's birthday (he is TEN today!). In-laws are still here. I imagine that I'll be up late with my MIL, knitting.

I just went out and bought drapes and a curtain rod. at any moment i expect my testicles will shrivel and drop off.

fortunately your neighbors will not have to witness the terrible event, because your windows will be covered.

^^^excelsiored for posterity, before it slips into the black void of mollilingfybert

Too true.

Earlier:

i was totally out of breath and drenched in sweat.

Because you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

I have to buy 3 sets of blackout blinds and curtains. It worries me that this is seen as unmanly :( I am also mad keen on lamps and Art Deco yet I consider myself a man. In fact:

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

Basically Kipling is saying that it's okay to like lamps and things because I am the shit.

The End.

JERGINS –– the ballet was awesome (espesh the third act) –- THX. We called you late, but we wanted to buy you a beer.

Oh right and the fondness for blinds make me gay? The hell with this, when ballet leads to manly beers I am obviously totally out of the macho loop :(

remy! ha i didn't even know one of the tickets was for you. glad you guys had a good time. yeah, 'the concert' is just hilarious and great.

smith tomorrow?

x-x-post: yeah, I was about to say. What's this about manly ballet beer?

i would drink a beer with the ballet. with all of the remarkably perfect ballet asses, oh baby.

yeah, def smith tomorrow.

guys can i put a window unit in my wall a/c hole? they are so much cheaper. i ended up not buying a/c at all bc the dude was trying to make me spend $499 on the wall units and i simply can not do that.

tehresa, I'm no use with questions like this.

But I want some ballet, beer, and some curtains with rods, plz.

so hot and humid

It's warm/hot, very humid, and threatening storms here (and has been for the past x number of days). The sad part is that I literally have to wear a sweater to proctor exams; the concert hall where the tests are given is always weirdly chilly.

Humidity. This is why I live near a desert. (I'm really not kidding -- the one thing about my trip out East I'm secretly dreading is a humid heat wave.)

I completely get the appeal of that, since walking outside feels kind of like walking into a wet blanket.

Okay, I'm going to sleep because even though I got 10 hours of sleep last night, I'm exhausted. PATHETIC

Good night all.

Okay, whoever locked the lxy & jergins thread should be banned from ilx and someone should dookie on their mother's doorstep. That thread was the gift that kept regifting itself.

What thread is that?

Huh, it's locked now?

In laws have gone to a conference and won't be back until Thursday. Yay, I might have time to put some stuff away and get a nap now!

Okay, the kids are outside. J. is obsessed with a dead worm she is calling her "pet."

Is it too early in the summer to lock them in the backyard? It's fenced, so they couldn't really go anyplace...

Time to go proctor and stop wasting time in my house.... yay?!

just arrived back east after a beautiful, beautiful wknd. it's only 95 degrees here. oooohhh...

ruby, you will like oakland lots, i'm thinking. yes, there are decidedly rugged parts of the city, but i forgot how paradisical(sp?) it can seem what with the sunshine and foliage and the lack of abrasiveness and chaos that sometimes seems to characterize parts of sf. in any case, if you grow weary, truly mind-staggering beauty is just a short drive away

also, i forgot the degree to which people smile and seem happy there, in contrast to east coast cities where people look angry all the time

GodDAMMIT that dream about doing the dishes did not actually happen. This is BULLSHIT.

I have had a very glamorous but down-to-earth evening. Go figure.

Proctoring done for the year, yay! Next stop: late night treadmill workout.

Still alive, showered and on to laundry.

Annnnnd talking to myself on the computer! TYPICAL!

DRRRRRRRRRRRRunk

awesome. maybe. wait?

yes awesome

i should probably talk to someone wise about the limitation of my clever enjambent as caused by the removal of spaces on nuilx. bah.

also. i have terrible, earthshaking news that concerns this thread what make me O_o and ;_; and many other forms of mournful pre-regret

also a little t (._. t)

._. mostly though

crushed. defeated. the news is staggering, and painful to us all.

do not kill the messenger

plz to rip off band-aid now
