Apologies if this was already started and I can't find it...

Halloween weekend has been a blast. Now it's Sunday and things are winding down a bit. I'm about to work more on my novel. Nick is taking a bath in the other room (the bathroom!).

Soon we'll be hitting a coffee shop.

At the party last night, some of our friends seemed truly upset that we'll be leaving. I felt really touched.

(Luna, I hope you don't mind me starting this one!)

part which? :(

bah why can’t i be properly ill or properly well? this vague sub-weather wan-ness (= getting old?) has lasted for TOO LONG!!?

I took apart the bed frame yesterday as part of the gradual ongoing getting ready to move process. Now the box spring and mattress are just on the floor. My poor cat is so confused now that she can't hide under the bed. She just tried to squeeze between the box spring and the wall but she's too fat.

hee hee. get pictures!

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Sunday, 2 November 2003 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Part Five, of course!
Sarah and Nick, I hope the move goes smoothly for you two. Good luck in your new environment and with every other future event for the two of you.
Mark S., I hope you heal up rather soon-ish, so you can at least claim complete good health and then go about your merry way.
I have numerous activities to do today, which I really need to start getting ready for. It's All Souls' Day today, which means a trip to the cemetery is called for. I don't mind it, really.
Oh yes, and please check out my little journal thingy now -- I made it look more presentable! :)

*sends out good vibes to all*

Blimey, part 5 already! It's sunday afternoon & having just watched fulham get defeated 2.1 by Liverpool I am sitting infront of the screen with a hair dye on. I have got such a busy day tomorrow at work, i am so not looking forward to it.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Sunday, 2 November 2003 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh & martin, good on ya! (sam i think i am just too innocent!)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Sunday, 2 November 2003 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't understand these threads.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 2 November 2003 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

You're just not trying!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Sunday, 2 November 2003 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

They don't make any sense! Everyone says weird things about cats that don't follow on from one another?

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 2 November 2003 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

It's just one of those things Nick, I think people get alot out of these threads. Ya know like talking about this and that, they primarily strengthen the group and friendships. It's one of those community things.

It's more like a little mini blog thing I suppose. That or I really do have add and can't concentrate on anything for more than.... ooooh, a shiny penny!

Of course I don't mind, Sarah - you rock.

I was off housesitting last week, and it was great. Time flew by, though I was there for quite a while. There was fun stuff to do there and a friend nearby who'd stop in with pizza and massive quantities of donuts and cookies.

But now I'm home and far away from those friends and time seems to be moving veeery slowly. And I have a really fucking bad headache. But I do have lots of leftover cookies.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 3 November 2003 00:17 (twenty-one years ago)

J.Girl, I'm glad you had a good time at that place. But of course you would already know that. :)

Nick Southall, you think too much. This isn't that hard to understand. Understand it as a coffee social transformed to the Internet and populated with quirky types.

Or Luna's explanation can be good. "Mini-blog" -- yes, yes, I've posted some things to other TITTWIS threads that I think I should've [also?] posted to my little journal thingy. :)

Also bumping this thread up, btw. Shame it was nearing the bottom of the page!

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Monday, 3 November 2003 13:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Nevah!

Hey Dee, hope you had a good w/e sweetie.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 3 November 2003 13:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I am sad for a friend of mine as her kitty is in hospital & it looks like they will have to put him down. My friend is very upset. She likes cats more that Sarah!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 3 November 2003 13:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Nick Southall, you're a fuckstrel.

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Stop spreading such lies, Pink! :)

I am sorry to hear about the kitty though.

Unsurprisingly, there is a cat (or two) in my NaNoWriMo novel. But, no, they do not talk. Maybe next time.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:15 (twenty-one years ago)

What lies am I supposed to be spreading?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm just kidding, PP - that your friend likes cats more than me. :)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh i see! She is very sad. :-(

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Saturday night I played a little thing at a coffee house around here. My dad came to watch and I played "Father & Son", I've wanted to do it for years with him present and I did. He got teary eyed and it made me teary eyed while playing it. My voice cracked and it sounded funny. But I got a good cheer afterwards. I miss my dad sometimes....

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 3 November 2003 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Aww chris that is lovely, i got a bit choked up jst reading it.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 3 November 2003 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I tells ya it was pretty hard to get through the very end of that song without breaking down. the damn "all the times that I cried...keeping all the things I knew inside" kills me.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 3 November 2003 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

That's sweet, Chris V. I'm glad you didn't dedicate that Cat's in the Cradle and the Silver Spoon... song! :)

Sorry I f-ed up the thread by not putting Part FIVE in the title, guys. B-but it was my first time starting a This is the Thread where I say...! And I started it in italics and everything!

― Sarah MCLusky (coco), Monday, 3 November 2003 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I suppose luna is busy NaNoWriMoing?

My old boss just came up to my desk to try to recruit me again. Out of nowhere, she said, "So, are you fed up with your job yet?"

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 3 November 2003 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

And you said?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 3 November 2003 19:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I just smiled and kept my mouth shut. That's my response to basically everything at work.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, this morning, old boss and her hubbie (also a realtor) were standing at my door staring at me, but I was too busy ILXing and sending out letters to look up. So, her husband said, "Wow, look, M****, she's so hard at work that she isn't distracted by us standing at her door!"

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm feeling progressively worse as the day goes by. scratchy throat, cough and a fever ithink. argh.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I am SO gonna get this new job.
And then you'll all miss me, when I have interesting and fulfilling work.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Before I go back to nanowriming, I had to come to the thread to note that I just bought nicotine gum and hence am officially quitting smoking (or at least trying very hard to). Get in me.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Good work! Is it tasty, Tep?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:17 (twenty-one years ago)

It's ... I don't know. My taste buds are off cause of having a cold, but it's gum that you chew until it tingles, then lodge into your cheek until it doesn't tingle, then chew again, and so on, for half an hour. That's a lot of attention for gum.

It tastes kind of like burning.

They had it in orange flavor, and I think I'm glad I didn't try that. They need a whole line of flavors like Camel has now, with the Mandarin Mint and the Water Buffalo Melon Surprise and the Hai Karate and whatnot.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Good luck, Tep.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I was just looking at a website that used the phrase "Hai Karate". It was the name of the DJ at this Calgary club the night we'll be there (in Calgary, not necessarily at the club). Weird.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Dude, use it - have one of your characters be quitting smoking.

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't look behind you for a few seconds, Chris.

...

Yeah, that is weird!

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

woo hoo, Tep. Been two weeks today for me. TWO FUCKING WEEKS.
Sometimes I want to strangle everyone I can reach, but mostly it's all right. The worst part is the anticipation I think. Drink lots of water.
I say this in all serious, though it may sound goofy, the key to quitting smoking is to NOT SMOKE.
If you think, "damn, I would love a sweet sweet cigarette with this coffee as I soak in the tub with the latest issue of Vibe" just think to yourself, "oh yeah, I don't smoke. It would be ridiculous for me to have a cigarette."
And think about how much money you're saving.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Have you been using gum or patch or anything? I've quit before, which obviously means I didn't really quit, so ... I figured this time I would try it this way. Fingers crossed.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

(That said, if after six months you "accidentally" have a ciggy, the general advice is to realize that that doesn't make you a full-time smoker again, and it doesn't permit you to have more. But this is not advice for the first few months.)

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I was on the patch for six weeks last year. I was angry all the time and I kept making these deals with myself, like it doesn't count if I smoke when I'm drinking, or if I'm with other people who smoke or if it's between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. or if I'm at work.
Needless to say, it was a disaster.
This time, I was on the patch for about 3 or 4 days. And then I just said fuck it cuz it was really doing a number on my gastrointestinal functions (#2) and it irritated my skin.
I'm a very skinny and so I've kind just said, hey, better to stuff my face with crappy junkfood and whatever than with poison (cuz even though it tastes sooo good, cigarettes are poison). So that's been the key. THe first night I ate a box of cookies. Now, I'm doing okay, not bingeing, not craving that much. Though I must admit, I'm having a hard time dealing with the absence of ritual in my daily life. Smoking becomes punctuation for your life, and sometimes I feel like I haven't really left work since I haven't had that celebratory afterwork smoke, etc.
I think the biggest thing for me though is that at some level, my mind is ready for this. I don't understand, and I'm a little surprised at how well I'm handling it in general. But I'm doing it for no other reason than because I think it's time for me to quit smoking and other times I've quit have been largely to appease some romantic faction, which only lead to resentment and sneak smoking.

And hey! Typing is a great way to keep your hands busy.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait, you're saying ILX hasn't replaced smoking as your punctuation?

If not, get on AIM.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Sean Carruthers is going to get me fired. "The Pootening"!!!!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

ILX has yet to give the same self-destructive, visceral BLADOW! that smoking used to.
Smoking, by the way, is shitty. And I have noticed that I smell a million times better since I quit. And I have more energy. And money. A pack of cigarettes is $10+ in Saskatchewan.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:56 (twenty-one years ago)

If we both manage it, Horace, let's buy each other friendship bracelets this time next year with the money we saved!

... or something that doesn't suck. WHORES. Want a whore? I could totally hook you up. Or maybe an Aero. Maybe you could buy me an Aero. I'll buy you a whore.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 3 November 2003 21:08 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe an aerowhore?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 3 November 2003 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

If I could afford an aerowhore, I'd just buy new lungs!

I kiss none of you, because Indiana is having like a flu-and-explodey-lung epidemic or some damn thing, and I'd infect all of you, cause I'm probably Typhoid Tep[*]. But I kiss you in spirit, like that X-Files episode.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Mark, I know it doesn't seem fair. I've faced that problem before. They must think they can't afford you or that you would leave them for something better as soon as it came up. Keep on truckin'!

Did I ever tell you guys the preggo assistant down the hall was eventually let go? I didn't even know it had happened because she's usually chained to her desk back there, but today when I told my old boss I'm leaving, she announced they're running an ad in the paper this weekend too. MUST NOT INTEND ON EVER HAVING CHILDREN. ha ha

I'm starving.

Nick's supposed to get back Saturday now because he changed his ticket! So that's tomorrow, probably around 4pm!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

woo hoo!

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

free sandwiches today! any friday is better with the application of sandwich!

I can't compete with that.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i had chipotle spread on a steak and cheese. i am fat.

― Chris B. Sure (Chris V), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Now I'm hungry.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm getting to be really fat too. Not sure if I even want to do anything about it. I look truly enormous in that pic where I'm rockin' with the Minor Thirds. Maybe I'll become the new D Boon.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

That's it. I'm going to get a sandwhich. Just try and stop me.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

xposts--hi.

The preggo assistant getting fired is just ridiculous.

I just somehow deleted this whole thing I'd typed out and I have no idea how. I'm not computer-stupid, even. Really. Sigh. It's morning. It's...uh...8 minutes til noon, so it's technically morning. That's my excuse.

I went down my hall to see the Christmas decorations they'd put up last night, and got tired so I ended up laying on the floor in front of the elevator, staring up at the Christmas tree. It was kind of cool--reminded me of being a little kid and doing the same thing. And it was 2 AM so there was no one around to make a big deal of my tendency to lay on the floor.

*mwah* to all of you.

The job market seems so ridiculous for so many people right now--I have a friend interviewing for things on the East Coast so that she can hopefully have a chance to live with her new husband. These employers need to get their heads out of their asses and hire the right people, dammit.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 5 December 2003 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Mark, maybe you should tailor the CV you give to certain employers. If it seems like a job you're over-qualified for, just leave some stuff out.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 5 December 2003 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

if it makes you feel any better, most jobs don't come by doing the formal application process. get out and socialize with people; you might "fall in" to a job faster than you think. my two best jobs ever were like that, and they came when i thought there was no hope at all.

― Orbit (Orbit), Friday, 5 December 2003 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, guys. Only 2 hours of work left today!

Our representative from the newspaper just called and was full of rage because I put in the ad for my position online instead of emailing it to her directly. I thought she only handled the real estate ads, not the employment ads. Then she proceeded to tell me that Chicago is not the city for me. WHAT?! I've never even met her before. What a beowtch (that's how Pepper would say it & I do believe she says that sometimes).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 5 December 2003 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

ignore the hataz, sarah.

also, take care of yrself. With your grandmother passing and the move, you've got a lot going on. Stress has a way of stacking up and then wreaking havoc when you least expect it.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Friday, 5 December 2003 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Then she proceeded to tell me that Chicago is not the city for me. WHAT?! I've never even met her before.

What a condescending jerk. She's probably just angry that you're getting out while she has to stay put.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 5 December 2003 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I know it's horrible, but I'm totally ready for Nick to take care of me when he gets home tomorrow. Maybe he could just carry my tea from one room to another or something. :)

I know what you're talking about, Sam. I feel like I haven't had a chance to breathe since she passed away, and before that I did way too much fretting about work for my own good. Now I'm worrying too much about packing everything. Anyone want some free stuff?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 5 December 2003 20:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I REALLY. FUCKING. HATE. PEOPLE. WHO. ARE. UNPREPARED.WHEN. THERE. ARE. DEADLINES. THEY. KNEW. ABOUT. YESTERDAY.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 5 December 2003 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

None of them are falling for my wily 'come close and let me kick your head off' trap.. which is disguised as "I need someone to sign this for Laurie, will you do it?'

This makes me angry.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 5 December 2003 21:37 (twenty-one years ago)

My sympathy to Mark, and especially to Sam. Apart from the fact that my email isn't working at the moment (back at midnight my time, 5pm yours if Texas is on Rocky Mountain time (6pm if it's Midwest)), you know how to find me if you ever want to talk, any time.

Tep, everytime I read that caption I laugh a lil bit harder.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 5 December 2003 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I just got a phone call from my child who said "daddy won't give me anything to eat...." and then when I asked why he was upset and almost in tears, said "because daddy slapped me in the face".

I understand that sometimes people feel compelled to spank children. I've certainly smacked him on the butt a couple times. But never, NEVER is it ok to slap him in the face. Never. And not feeding him? He's a fucking growing kid - he doesn't know about eating because he's bored, if he says he's hungry, then he's fucking hungry and you feed him.

I'm so mad I can't see straight. I want to tear his motherfucking head off.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 6 December 2003 01:14 (twenty-one years ago)

What the goddamned hell. :-( This is awful!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 6 December 2003 01:18 (twenty-one years ago)

OMG!!! What is wrong with that man?!!? Jesus. Tearing off his head would be too kind.

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 6 December 2003 01:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm sorry, luna. When do you see either of them again?

I'm posting from home on a Friday night. I feel weird - I've got a sore throat like out of nowhere and I ate fat free sorbet before my microwaved healthy choice dinner. Blah.

In other news, you guys get to hang out with me tonight! On ILX!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Saturday, 6 December 2003 01:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh I'm going home to get him in 20 minutes...

and yay Sarah!

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 6 December 2003 01:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay Sarah! I might be seeing that grandiose man Chaki tonight -- he's playing with one of his bands down in Costa Mesa and he's all up for Taco Mesa. Hopefully we can time it right!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 6 December 2003 01:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Jesus, Aimee. I'm glad you're going to get him. Hope he's all right. (In the long run, he is, kids are resilient, but you know what I mean.)

Hulk smash. Hulk like kids.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 6 December 2003 01:41 (twenty-one years ago)

my dr. has suggested today that i go to the hospital. i really don't want to, and don't see how things will be any different there, except more uncomfortable and strange.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 6 December 2003 02:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i hope you're okay, Orbit.

― possible m (mandinina), Saturday, 6 December 2003 02:35 (twenty-one years ago)

thx mandy. :-)

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 6 December 2003 02:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Me too.

I was just flipping around the channels on tv and saw Clueless the tv show. Do they still make new episodes of that?!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Saturday, 6 December 2003 02:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think so, the girl who played Cher is on Seventh Heaven now as one of the Cosby-cousin-ish replacements-for-the-kids-who-keep-leaving-the-show. (She's the love interest of the priest, or seminary student maybe, who replaced the dad while the dad was recovering from heart surgery. Or something like that. It's weird how much you absorb from commercials.)

Isn't it weird that Stacey Dash has looked the same age for like 15 years now, though? She played a teenager in a Richard Pryor movie, if I remember right, and can still get away with it now. She is possibly undead.

And Orbit, in or out of the hospital, I hope things go well.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 6 December 2003 04:22 (twenty-one years ago)

as if i didn't have enough problems, my mom, senior citizen haze person, has let me fuckup brother move in. he promptly convinces her to co sign for a new car and a cell phone and then disappears in said car, stealing her fucking credit card!

she refuses to call the police, even though he's currently awaiting arriagnment on a *different* grand theft auto charge. if i was not 3,000 miles away i would take a baseball bat to his head.

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 6 December 2003 05:18 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, and thanks Tep!

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 6 December 2003 05:20 (twenty-one years ago)

orbit, if you do go into the hospital be sure you bring a walkman. i was kicking myself for not bringing one.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Saturday, 6 December 2003 09:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Good morning, all. Pepper keeps trying to lay down on my laptop... Now she's somehow curled up in my lap so that she's sitting on my hands.

Nick just called. He says they keep mentioning delays due to ice (on the train tracks), so he doesn't know when he'll get back now. :-(

I am off to be very productive (and then have breakfast and go xmas shopping).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Saturday, 6 December 2003 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Luna, you want me to go over and kick your ex's ass for you? Stupid fucking Neanderthal -- should go and pick on someone his own damn size. Grrr.

Orbit, I hope you take care and that things go well for you in re: both situations.

Good morning Sarah! Major, major bummer that Nick is being delayed, but soon enough you'll see your sweetie and it'll be a rich and rewarding experience! Hurrah!

I really should be departing from the online world so I can get me some breakfast, do a couple of quick errand-type things, and then start in on studies. So here's to fantastic days for all of us!

It's quiet here today. I slept late and missed snow this morning. But there will be plenty of snow soon enough.

Good thoughts to all. Seems like life needs to look up for quite a few of us. Luna, I'd like to get in line to kick your ex's ass. Or tell him off, anyway. What a fucking bastard.

Hope everyone's weekends are going well.

I'm actually having a shitty day but I'm going to go eat cookies and listen to a book on tape and try to ignore that.

I am back. The train trip from Chicago to DC took 24 hours (it's supposed to take about 14 hours).

Good to see you back, Nick!

Welcome back, Nick! Hope the extra ten hours didn't suck too much. (Weather stuff or just regular transit delays?)

I think it was weather stuff. The conducters weren't particularly forthcoming. I am glad to be back.

I feel like Worcester got jipped in this snow shit. 11 inches is extra weak. I wanted 10 feet. Yesterday afternoon I was shoveling the wifes and my car out and talking to the guy who lives on the first floor who was shoveling his cars out as well. When all of the sudden he slips and his leg falls off! He's got a prosthetic leg, I'm not sure from what. But the thing went flying. I rushed over to help him out and he started laughing, which prompted me to laugh as well. So he gets up, straps it on and is all set to go. His wife comes out and starts nagging him about something and he guns a snowball at her. He can be a major pain in the ass, but he's a pretty funny guy.
