This is the thread where I say ... Part VIII

Drive up the coast + new zoom-y car + loud music = classic.
75 degree weather in 'winter' = also classic.
Champagne with good friends is wonderful and makes me giggly.
For all the drama it brings, I'd much rather lead a life of passion than be locked in a little room existing only to sleep, waste the day and sleep again.

Con't from: This Is The Thread Where I Say.......Part Seven!

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 12 January 2004 06:47 (twenty-two years ago)

i agree luna, those are my favorite things also. PCH with the windows down; champagne and chocolate with good friends.....hoo-ray!

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 12 January 2004 06:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I lost it somehow in Oxnard 'cause of a detour, but ended up having a really good dinner anyway, and stopping at the $3 theatre on the way back, so I didn't mind.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 12 January 2004 06:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd reckon most of us would rather not be locked in a little room! (Who are you typifying with that?)

Someone I used to know who called me today out of nowhere and regaled me with stories of fading away into nothingness and it made me feel a little sad, and a little like knocking the walls of his house down so he'd get a little sunlight in.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 12 January 2004 06:59 (twenty-two years ago)

i love opening my door an smelling the salt air. it really is a joy. sometimes late at night, 3, 4am i can hear the waves, a block away and i love it. i'm really glad to be here, a block away because the places closer are built on sand and not rock and that is not good in a CA earthquake. i'm on the rock. i don't know why i am blithering but i am. because i can't sleep i guess.

i hope everyone is having a good night, and enjoying the small things that make life happy.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 12 January 2004 07:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh my God, you've got one'a dem new Jettas now don'tcha? Oh my god those are the best driving-for-driving's-sake vehicles evar. Sunroof open, windows down, music cranked, yellow slashes in middle of road whizzing by...heaven.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 12 January 2004 07:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I got a letter from my estate agent on friday telling me that our ppl want an extra £12.5k if we still want their house. So after everything we've been through with this house they now have the cheek to raise their asking price after all this time. So basically we are going to tell them to stick their house! So that's the end of our house buying escapades. :-(

I miss Kate & Sarah.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 12 January 2004 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Aw Pinky, that sucks. However, if you're going to tell them to stick it, please please please do so in the most vitriolic, insulting, offensive manner you can. Motherfuckers like that make me sick.

And then post what you said to this thread :)

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Yep, it sure does. It's ok, we know where they live! *rubs hands together in an evil manner*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 12 January 2004 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Nickalicious = OTFM. Wanna go for a ride??

Pink, I'm sorry to hear this - what fuckers. Want me to come round and help you kick the crap out of them?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 12 January 2004 17:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Pink, these people deserve the very worst in life, honey. And if I had the resources at this time, I'd definitely volunteer my efforts to ensure that actually happened.

I've just come home from work, FYI. I have a nice and leisurely 2 1/2 hour break between that and school every Monday and Wednesday this semester, which is a blessing, let me tell you. So I'm going to be rushing downstairs to get some stew-y thing Mom's fixed up for me for a late lunch, and then I think I'll try to take a short nap and straighten some things out in my bedroom before heading on out again.

Luna, Orbit, you people are lucky. You guys get to see breathtaking sights while you drive. I'm starting to get into one of my little mental ruts, where I sorta tire of looking at my surroundings. I do live in a hillier part of town, so it's not like I only see flatland, but I'd like to see something other than seas of concrete and grassy plains. Oh well, it'll pass. ;)

― Tenacious Dee (Dee the Lurker), Monday, 12 January 2004 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

You can drive a couple hours Dee and see some pretty cool shit. I have to drive for a full day in order to even see a frickin' hill. Thankfully I'll be in San Francisco in less than 3 weeks. Boo-yah bitches!

― oops (Oops), Monday, 12 January 2004 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Dee, I'll come get you!

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 12 January 2004 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be in San Francisco in less than 3 weeks

Nothing but fog...

...actually the weather is great right now.

― That famous guy who won a prize (nordicskilla), Monday, 12 January 2004 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

How frustrating, Pink, after all of this time and effort. What total fucking assholes. In the event that you do write them and tell them that they're inhuman inconsiderate motherfucking cocksucking rat-bastard assholes, then it would be lovely if you shared said letter.

Oops, I was completely disdainful of the general flatness of the Chicago area when I moved here. But then I was in high school cross country and they of course found the only very steep hills in the western suburbs and made us sprint up them over and over. However, these burbs are damn ugly...glad you have the chance to get away!

San Fran sounds great! That's such a cool city.

I keep going through phases where I feel like posting less and less on this board. I think I'm just too moody lately. I'm going to go find something to make me laugh...

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 12 January 2004 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

*really reminds self never to get on Divine Miss J's bad side*

Oh yes, and hi there!

― Tenacious Dee (Dee the Lurker), Monday, 12 January 2004 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

You can drive a couple hours Dee and see some pretty cool shit.

Er, well, point taken. If I wanted to see the coast I could drive out to the TX Gulf Coast and it'd take maybe a total of three hours for me, if I was driving constantly at the speed limit or something. But I don't do major journeys every day or indeed every week or month.

Dee, I'll come get you!

*smile* WELL, m'dear, if you're willing to do that, THANK YOU!

I keep going through phases where I feel like posting less and less on this board.

― Tenacious Dee (Dee the Lurker), Monday, 12 January 2004 22:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm a nice person (though far from divine), I just like to go on cussing sprees to express distaste with things I find particularly annoying.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 12 January 2004 23:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Pink, add a few more cusses to your post, THEN email it to them. Bastards. You're better off without such aggro.

Dee: We've been playing AIM tag for the last few weeks. Hope this mood won't last for you.

Luna: tell your friend that life's too short to waste in hiding, though tis a good first step to confide in you.

Hola Julia and Mark!

(and to any other warm bods I missed)

My weekend was pretty lazy: spent most of it in bed by myself. (More's the pity.) Still....(drumroll)....another week

Is this the thread where I say that while I was washing my hands a minute ago, the liquid soap slid completely off my palm barely leaving a trail of soapy residue I mean I don't masturbate that much?

― Leee Majors (Leee), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris, you're beautiful, etc...

No really sug, I'm proud of you - stick it to the man!

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 00:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Adam: No, no I don't. But I have some savings and a stellar support system and I'd really rather not have a nervous breakdown, you know?

Leee: Wha?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

No, no I don't. But I have some savings and a stellar support system and I'd really rather not have a nervous breakdown, you know?

I have been in this exact position, so yes, I do know. Best get out of there then. Good luck!

― That famous guy who won a prize (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 00:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I have no idea, Chris.

Julia, sweetie, was just joshing with you.

Nichole, I hope to resume regular chattage ASAP!

Chris, I second the "good luck" wishes. Hope this turns out to your benefit.

Marky Cat, ew.

Hugs and warm hellos to everybody.

Thanks guys, much appreciate the offers of violence! Luna, the add is .....haha.

This is my letter:-

Dear Fuxors,

You are c#nts!

Yours sincerely

Ms Panther.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 12:30 (twenty-two years ago)

You misspelled "cunts" there hon.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

gee thanks petal!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Seriously though, things arent too bad. We are both very upset about everything we've been through with this house & are out if pocket because of it. However, we are gonna give it a couple of months & try again. Time to regroup, lick our wounds (so to speak - stop that Mark!) & sort some things out. At least we can try again, I am v thankful for that. At least we still have a roof over our head. Oh & I've got sparkly nails, which always cheers me up!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 12:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay. I'm going to apply sparkle myself tonight. My dad gave me the most enormous amount of make-up for Xmas, oddly since I never wear it. But tonight I might make like a tweenager and try it all out in the privacy of my bedroom. And eat fishfingers and chips. And generally lollop around in my pyjamas. Thanks for the email PP. *Hugs*

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 13:27 (twenty-two years ago)

That sounds like a great idea, I'll be doing the same (apart from the fishfingers, eurgh,) so enjoy & have fun with the make up lady! ;-) *big hugs* (or 'huges' as randy would say)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 13:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi all. Chris, hopefully your Petrified Forest cd goes in the mail today, had to get stamps. Like a dork I posted an ad looking for new bandmates online, and have already had two respondents, both of which look like good possibilities. When exploring last night, Sarah and I found a bakery/cafe with delicious pastries which is a 2-minute walk from our house. It was so good.

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 14:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Yum, fresh pastries in the morning.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I just joined a band last night! The name of the band is Lights Like Windows. The music is really pretty k-droney music, sorta Sigur Ros/GYBE-ish. I play keyboards. Another dude plays guitar and loops and drums. Another dude plays guitar & laptop and makes noises like the ghosts of whales flying over stormy oceans and shit. Then there's a very tiny elfin man who sings pretty. I'm so excited. And I just can't hide it.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you about to lose control?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 14:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Your band name needs to be less comprehensible. Something like "Erwehn Holmn" or some bullshit like that.

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

ha ha yeah, or something spelled backwards, like Eitoob Ruoy Ekahs.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Also: I saw a couple of the dudes from My Morning Jacket at the pub last night, and we decided that an episode of Queer Eye ft. them would be totally the shit.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the name Lights Like Windows. Yay nickaliscious.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 15:10 (twenty-two years ago)

For some reason the idea of a tiny elfin lead singer made me laugh. I think I was imaginging a prettily-singing leprechaun.

I was wondering about the one singer from MMJ's Kermitlike singing and so I found a pitchfork article talking about his "sexy-Kermit vocals". I guess I don't equate Kermit with sexy, but I like their music anyway.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Lights Lick Windows, would be cool, it would give you a playfully dirty edge.

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Did the writer mean "vocals that sound like Kermit trying to be sexy"?

I just got really fucking dizzy and it won't go away. The antibiotics I'm on say they 'may cause dizziness' but I've been taking them for about 5 years and it';s never happened before.

Clearly I need to be taken out into the pasture and dealt with.

man, i get really dizzy several times a day. one of the side effects of mood stablizers. i've learned to treat it as a mini-high or something.

Ok! I'd better just stick to this thread as I seem to be killing any others I'm posting to. Yay for me! Anyway, the funeral was weird and made me feel like an asshole. A couple of my cousins gave a bit of a secondary eulogy and I said nothing (I hadn't been close with my grandmother since I was maybe 8 or 9) so that made me feel crap. A whole bunch of my family members were zipped on Ativan and seemed just plain crazy so it was tricky to find someone to talk to. Grossest thing about the funeral: my grandma was in a Salvation Army nursing home and the service was conducted by the Captain from the home, this woman Sherri. She had goth makeup on and was kinda hott and I found myself thinking about that instead of my grandma. I should be executed Chinese style (bullet to the brain stem). Anyway, not much left of my grandma now just as there wasn't much left of her before she died, just a bunch of ashes and pulverized bone.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 19 February 2004 15:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh Bryan, don't be too hard on yourself.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 19 February 2004 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not! I'm mostly just being silly. And that last sentence didn't quite sound right in my previous post. My grandma had wasted away to nothing before she died. They think she probably weighed about 65 lbs (she was about 5'2"). Anyway, 3 grandparents down one to go and she'll probably make it a few months at least. OK! No more being a downer! Is it too early for me to get a Coke (9:41 AM)?

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 19 February 2004 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

i drink coke (or dp) for breakfast.

cept today. sick.

i'm doing very badly. how often do i do very badly. how often do i feel bad? way way too often. last night i was lucky i didn't own a gun.

it is my off period now and i'm thinking of leaving and checking myself into the hosptial. or maybe i should just find a gun. i'm so sick of this rollercoaster i want off.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 19 February 2004 16:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Hm, the only funeral of any grandparent I went to was the actual interring of my dad's mom, the last of my grandparents to pass. Since the funeral ceremony itself had occurred two months previous -- I was unable to attend then -- I wanted to be there for when the ashes were laid to rest. It was just me, my dad, the priest (a friend of my grandmother's, an older female Episcopalian priest) and the gravedigger -- small, private and felt just right.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 19 February 2004 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Sam, I think a hospital would be the best choice of action at this point. we're all pulling for you.

― Kingfish Beatbox (Kingfish), Thursday, 19 February 2004 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

*good thoughts for Sam*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 19 February 2004 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

We're interring the ashes sometime in the summer. Not sure if I'll make it out there for that part unless they do it on a weekend or when I'm on vacation.

Do what you need to do to keep yourself safe, Sam.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 19 February 2004 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm just laying my head down on my desk to sleep and pray for sweet sweet death to visit me.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 19 February 2004 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Yup, time to go check in.

Seriously. Grab your books and your music and go.

― Kingfish Beatbox (Kingfish), Thursday, 19 February 2004 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey everybody!

Oh the stories I could tell about funerals. The creepy southern born again dude who did a hellfire and brimstone eulogy at my first grandmother's funeral (she was united, and very moderate, but my aunt, who's also wealthy, wealthy, wealthy, was then involved in some weirdo snake oil church that basically said you had buy your way into heaven, or at least that's the idea I got from what little I heard about it, I mean, I wasn't exactly looking to hang out with my crazy religiaunt, esp after the christmas card I got from her that had a coot little baby footprint in silver on the front and read "on this day he was born..." and then on the inside there was a silver handprint with a big red splotch in the middle and the caption "...to DIE for your SINS! Merry Christmas!"). Or being on mushrooms at my other grandma's funeral. Psychedelic drugs and Roman Catholic Church, not a good mix. I was fucking stupid and 20. Fuck was I stupid. And then my grandpa's funeral last June, where--it was actually the reception after the interment--this kid walked in off the street and asked me to help him fix his watch. And every single person who ever knew anyone in my family brought a meat tray. It was insane.
I think there's something wrong with you if you DON'T find funerals a little weird.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 February 2004 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Sam, please go check yourself in. Don't do anything stupid, like I said before there is ALWAYS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. No matter how bad it seems, life will take its course and things will be OK! Please....for us.

On a side note, I was out at Target for lunch buying a RF Modulator and I felt a cool breeze on my ass. I reached back and realized I had a huge rip in the ass of my cords. I am one stitch away from one ass cheek busting out. Thank god I have a shirt that I can untuck.

thank you guys, i feel somewhat better. tylenol helped the fever. took my crazy pills. i would say its the placebo effect except i'm not sure if they help my mood and it kinda pisses me off when they work.

who wants to rely on pills to keep from offing yourself?

i can't go to the hospital just yet. still owe them money and one of the reasons i feel so fucked now is b/c of the pay i got docked for the last time i was there. that has caused a tidal wave of problems for me.

and i have classes to teach. today subject/verb agreement and rosa parks.

4 more classes.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 19 February 2004 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

if it makes you feel any better (but it will probably make you feel worse) my ass cheek has slipped out.

― Chris V (Chris V), Thursday, 19 February 2004 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Rosa Parks wasn't one to worry about subject/verb agreement -- sometimes she was just tired and wanted to get to the end of the sentence in peace, you know?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 19 February 2004 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Guys, is my comment on the "what are you thinking about" thread racist? I meant it in a purely factual way, but America seems to be really sensitive about this kind of thing.

chris, i was waiting for someone to make some sort of joke like that. you put a smile on my face, thank you.

i wanted to read auto. of malcom x for black history month but there's no money to buy books. so old rosa it is. gonna play outkast for them too and discuss her lawsuit.

we've been doing s/v agreement all year. i swear fiddy could do a whole album on it and they still wouldn't get it.

Nope, as far as I know, "Hispanic" isn't offensive. Is that what you're referring to?

I'm having the unemployment blahs today. There's a kitchen full of dirty dishes, but I can't make myself do them. I was going to go out and have an adventure today, because it's supposed to be like 45 degrees, but I can't make myself do that either. I'm just lazy and useless. I'm afraid to get excited about the job that I interviewed for because I probably won't get it. I tried to make an interesting post on the Mel Gibson's Christ Movie thread to get conversation starting again, but no one really replied to it. Mwah mwah mwah, poor me.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 19 February 2004 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)

OH, Hi Nick.

You guys are lovely and I miss you. I say "you guys" too much, don't I?

Yeah, Jemima J. is a good book. I was avoiding Jane Green before, but I can't remember why... hmm...

na every dish i have is dirty too. i feel you. it's supposed to be 80 today but i can't wear short sleeved shirts to school anymore cause of my elliott tat. :(

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 19 February 2004 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)

thank god i have a dishwasher....

― Chris V (Chris V), Thursday, 19 February 2004 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay, explain this to me.

1 calroie is the unit of energy needed to heat a gram of water by 1 degree C. Therefore, to heat 200 grams of water by 20 degrees C, you should need 4000 calories.

However, this is bascially what happens when you drink a medium-sized glass of water - you ingest it and it goes from room temperature (or colder) to body temperature.

So how come we don't lose massive amounts of weight simply by drinking shitloads of water? Obviously we absorb a lot of it, but if we drink like a litre an hour we should be slim as fuck after a couple of weeks.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 19 February 2004 18:03 (twenty-two years ago)

haha, i do too chris.

something about depression, it makes you slovenly.

my room is already a wreck and some kid knocked over a flowerpot last period so now i have dirt everywhere.

i offered an A to anyone who would come after school and clean my desk. think i'd get in trouble for offering the same for my apartment?

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 19 February 2004 18:05 (twenty-two years ago)

doing dishes is one of lifes things i hate most. when we lived in boston for 5 years i think i did dishes twice. my wife did them all the time. but she always would pile up the garbage and never take the bag out and tie it. maybe once in 5 years. why the aversion to trash ladies?

― Chris V (Chris V), Thursday, 19 February 2004 18:09 (twenty-two years ago)

if i had the money and no dishwasher i would just throw the dishes off my deck and buy new ones everyday. or just eat off paper plates.

I just wrote a long response and got kicked off the internet. BOO HOO! MY LIFE IS SO HARD!

Hey Sam & Luna, I've been really dizzy the past few days, which is actually unusual for me. Wanna have a dizzy party?

Chris, I hate trash too, but so does Nick. We both hate trash and dirty dishes which makes us SO IN LOVE, but also makes us slobs.

Mark, if you're using water to prevent your body from overheating, why would your body have to expend energy on all of its other methods of preventing you from overheating (like sweat)?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 19 February 2004 18:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Um, I don't quite understand. All I'm talking about is the simple transference of heat from my body to the water in my body, which I then urinate out..

you can buy "Chinette". Which is a paper plate that looks like china.

Well, I'm no scientist, but I'm just not sure it works like that. When you drink a glass of water, it lowers your body temperature, I think -- you don't raise its temperature. But since you are so much bigger than that glass of water, the overall effect with your body temperature is negligable.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 19 February 2004 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Especially if you're wearing a negligee.

Tart.

Anyways, you'd expend the calories warming yourself back up, if you had to.

I just conferred with someone who knows more about this than I, and you do burn calories when you drink colder liquids, but not enough to make a difference in your waist. But he doesn't remember why.

I know this has moved on, but to answer Mark a bit: You are talking 4 kilocalories, which is insignificant - we consume a few thousand kilocalories a day. But more importantly, our bodies are struggling to maintain the right temperature all the time, and the ambient air is a far bigger factor than some glasses of water. We lose heat through excretion, through warming the air we breathe, but especially to the air around us. Maintaining our temperature is one of the main things we burn calories for - the effects of drinking more water are nothing in comparison to even a small amount of exercise. And drinking too much water will bloat you anyway!
