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

going to class now. have a good night, guys!!

ok my last sentence is a good example of why i shouldn't type while a kid is asking me questions about wah pedals while his friend plays sepultura at earcrushing volume

liquor usually has to have it's own space in MN, but even just a wall seems like it works okay.

I look forward to shopping at John and Dan's Twin Cities Den of Inequity.

Hmmmm, maybe you'll need a nurse on hand to help people recover from their hangovers or whatever happens in your burlesque show.

Have fun at class, tehresa - I'm going off, too!

Stay warm and drive safe - everyone, but especially those in the T.C. area. Dammit, we should really be beyond this weather.

well, that will make my guitars/bar/guns/club/firing range/dirt bike track concept easier to get past the city council probably xpost

You forgot "carney midway".

CORRECT

Hey Sara, I know you've gone but I'm going to webmail you re messenger stuff - let me know if your webmail doesn't actually get to you! With a gmail account you basically have a chat function built in, and I'm sure a lot of the people you'd choose to chat to are gmail users to. Anyway, I'll email :)

OMG IT'S OFFICIAL I JUST BOOKED MY TICKETS FOR REALZ!

AND my mum has offered to pony up all her airpoints, not just for my connecting flight, but also my trip home to visit family AND the extra trip to auckland i have to make for the visa interview/orientation thingy. flight to US is still a fucking expensive $2511.50.

BUT YAY! OMG I'M REALLY GOING

hey john are you still doing the spoeknd words

this is wonderful news, ruby. congratulations

Rubes that's fab :)

yes RR come to our wonderful country and become another member of the El Tomboto salary fund team

yes i will spokend them this weekend i think mr tomboto

RR! Acers!

i'm not sure what this salary fund of tombot's is, but sure, i'll participate.

thanks for the good wishes, itr! i'm really quite awestruck that this is really happening - buying the ticket has really cemented everything and it just feels more real than it ever has (in a good way!).

rr I work for the govt

was oblique joke re: dire need of this country to increase tax base via immigration because we are by no means pumping out babies fast enough to pay down the war debt

"joke" used rather loosely here

of course! sorry, i totally didn't get it, but i'm completely distracted today.

now that i know i'm leaving for sure, i'm really tempted to be totally ass-y to anyone who gives me shit at my job.

I'm so happy for you RR. I know how sucky long distance international relationships can be. You're going to be so happy!

thanks, enbb :)

YAY RR, SO HAPPY THAT YOU ARE COMING TO THE U.S.!!!!

Mark, I will check my email when I get downstairs (after I eat something... STARVING NOW!)

I got home safe and alive, btw, so yay! Roads weren't toooo bad; visibility wasn't so great. I'm staying put tomorrow if this continues!

Congrats Rubes!

I will now watch a delicious Grey Gardens sandwich, with 30 Rock as the bread.

I fear the snow may have caused my satellite dish to get all wonky, and thus no 30 Rock was recorded. ;_;

Mark C - I didn't see an email from you, BUT my ISP is super crappy/unreliable lately. (Thus the planned slow transition to gmail).

Let me know if you need a more direct address than however ILX has this set up.

bumping this thread for continuity reasons

leaving one shitty job to head off to another bump

Hope it goes okay... or at least not too badly!

ruby, i am very happy for you<3<3<3

and i promise never to call you 'rubes'

Hey now, pluralizing the first syllable of one's name as a term of endearment is a time-honored tradition among we "Amerikaners".

sup knickers?

wilts

lol my nickname at school was walts.

i obv didn't like it.

Oh nuffin wiltz, just hangin out with my neck pillow, listenin to some records, you know how it goes.

xpost

I never had a nickname. I think this has a lot to do with, y'know, Nick. Names.

You see.

My nickname at school: "Q." There are still people who call me this. I am okay with it.

I'm finally going to bed - good night all. <3 <3 <3

My ongoing nickname is "mash" which I've come to terms with I guess.

Hey Sara, when you're up let me know if you got my webmail - as I was typing it (it was quite long!) I was wondering if I should have saved it somewhere, but of course I didn't...

I don't have any real nicknames. Apart from Barry, and Felicity is the only person who's used that in living memory. Oh, and the pinefox calls me the kaiser.

i just got home and i scared my roommate who was getting up to go to work. he thought i was a burglar coming in!

Did he try and attack you? I thought there was a burglar last night and as I lay there straining my ears, I realised I'd been woken by my stomach growling.

no he was just in the kitchen by our door and was a bit rattled when he heard sounds at the door before i unlocked and came in.

On Sunday I am going to a drag queen's cinema club to see Grey Gardens.

the aussie way of nicknaming ppl seems to be to add 'zza' or 'zzy' to an abbreviation of the person's name. hence, the italian-aussies i work with call me 'juzzy' and have always done so.

'rubes' is fine by me :)

rube
–noun Informal.
an unsophisticated person from a rural area; hick.
