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

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.

lol

oh you SO funny

but that is probably a fairly accurate description

umm... i meant 'lol' in a nice way.

cant break magic thread title bump

T/S burt stanton vs burt_stanton vs bart stanberg

vs hari kari

vs. Tuomas

vs. The Easter Bunny

btw, Mark C - I still have no email from you, BUT I also have no email from anyone since 3:54 a.m. last night, which means once AGAIN it is not functioning properly. SO AGGRAVATED BY THAT

dear tom,

i went through three cell phones before i ended up with the samsung 737, which you suggested upthread. it is head and shoulders above any of the others. i should have listened to you at first.

my apologies,

r.

Urgh - Sara, here's the gist of what I said. go to http://www.google.com/talk and download the software. Open it, sign in with your regular gmail details - it's totally straightforward - go to the "Add+" button in the bottom left, and add me - c4s4r0✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧ (change the numbers to letters!) and if I'm there, say hi (and I am there right now) :)

lol

c4s4r0tt0 is my address (substituting letters for the numbers), and gmail's com suffix is my provider.

Is there an ITR wdyll thread?

Man I have just over half a bottle of a lovely Primitivo at home, mlb.tv premium, friday night TV and an empty house. I love weekends. One hour till hometime...

Is there an ITR wdyll thread?

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO there isn't

^ this

thx Mark - I will get over to it as soon as I can. I need to eat some lunch and then someone is coming by this afternoon.

I am totally envying your anticipated relaxing weekend. I have about 500 pages of reading to do, class all day Sunday and class again Monday night and a test out on IV piggybacks to prepare for on Thursday night.

If someone could reminde me why I wanted to do this, I would appreciate hearing about it.

xpost

Also ITR WDYLL thread would be totally awesome; potentially hilarious.

(I have a new picture of a mannequin that looks Just Like Dan. Well, in my fevered imagination it does, anyway.)

No worries Sara - if you do happen to do it late afternoon your time I'll almost certainly be online. Hope it works! It also functions as a free phone system to anyone else with a microphone, which is handy.

KILL IT, KILL THE MANNEQUIN

I will see if I can find time to try it, Mark!

Dan, I'll have you know that I took good care of that mannequin last night.
