no boys allowed in the room!!!!

Oh. Many drug-addled years have past since my junior high band days so my memory is hazy, but I think they smelled like some kind of industrial, rubbery, chemical somethingorther of the sort that probably resulted in a high percentage of former majorettes developing various cancers later in life.

kinda like those black welcome mats?

I don't know what those smell like, but that seems like it would be an apt comparison.

they have a weird faux-rubber kinda chemical smell that smells a bit like some highly-artificial snack food that I can't identify because it's the kind of thing I'd see in the stores and think it looks really gross.

oh geez http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/31/books/31babysitters.html

Editors at Scholastic updated some of the references to technology and outdated fashions in the reissued books. So a “cassette player” has become “headphones” and a “perm” has become “an expensive hairstyle.”

I hate when they do this. ( Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret, I am looking at you.)

you pieces of shit iirc

nowadays if i see anything to do with james franco this thread springs to mind and i say to myself fondly, those blimmin girls.

James Franco has still not accepted my friend request on facebook. Mad at him now.

that's terrible, he accepted mine with alacrity.

Hmpf.

that was my first lie for 2010, i'm not even on facebook.

Yeah for some reason I didn't think you were.

uh, leave him alone imo

haw :D

Yes, I notice that you two are facebook engaged. Is he aware of this fact? Hmmm?

enbb, if you knew i wasn't on facebook that means you falsely hmpfed me.

The hmpf was not intended to be taken seriously. However if I thought that you were on FB and had not friended me then you some serious hmpfing might be directed your way.

i would friend you, and all the other rotten francophiles.

:D

he had to approve it iirc

simmer down, ladies!

I for one am now completely confused.

lol

being confused can be fun!

i found my old muppet movie lunchbox while cleaning the kitchen today. Did anyone else have lunchboxes as kids, what kind of lunchboxes. I think I had a Lassie one, and also a Pigs in Space one.

i had one, that i still have, that was a legend of zelda/super mario bros. hybrid, with slightly more zleda/link motifs than mario ones. it was royal blue: my favorite color then and now.

i also had a neon orange nkotb one

i never used the thermoses on any of them.

yeah i always maintained an attitude of "fuq 1 thermos", until my "drinking years*", this was unrelated to luncheoning

*1997-present

when i was in second grade, my friends were "bad girls" and they'd steal lunchboxes during lunch time, but they didn't really steal them, they just hid them in the bushes around the corner, and they tried to get me to steal someone's lunchbox, but i ended up just taking the crayons from the boy I had a crush on who sat in front of me, thinking that would mean he'd have to borrow my crayons.

cute tbh

i don't think he did end up borrowing my crayons though. he was quiet and shy. i gave up on having crushes on quiet, shy boys after him.

the next boy i had a crush on was ryan - and he wasn't quiet and shy, this was 4th grade - but he flirted with everyone, so i was kinda mean to him, and then he started dating my bf sabr1na, and i followed them around and took notes like in Harriet the Spy. Okay, I'm drunmk and gonna go to sleep.

my favourite boy when i was eight wasn't shy but he was eccentric, at the end of the year we were supposed to take all our artwork home and he couldn't fit the last couple of his paintings in his bag so he ate them while i cried my eyes out with laughter.

omg that's adorable!

isn't it<3

oh my gosh

crying my eyes out with laughter and <3 aT!m

whatever happened to him? jason - the 2nd grade crush - ended up moving away in high school, though we were in the same gifted classes for years, he had really good taste in music, but i think that was because he had a cool older sister.

we both liked adam & the ants in 2nd grade - that goody two shoes song they played on the radio

we moved up north not long after that so i never saw him again.

what ashame

this thread needs lxy, she always has darling stories along these lines.

it would be good if you still had your ryan and sabr1na notes.

i don't even remember what those notes consisted of!

bitter musings and sardonic observations.

cuties, all

xp - i think it was just observations on behavior - i was really into spy type stuff at that age.

im SURE you and bryce have discussed this???
