[Mililalil XXIV]

Does anybody out there ever get sick and tired of getting sick and tired in specifically that order?

Actually, I find you don't get sick without getting tired first for the most part.

[Ryduce]

Todays random thought:Les Miserables is the thickest book in the history of the world.I mean seriously,It's friggin huge.

Yeh I said it.

[samercury]

Random thought- a lion is an overgrown cat

[Ryduce]

Samercury makes an intriguing point.

[Pensive]

Scher is found. I thought that evil penguins would have kidnapped her but I am glad to find out that Scher defeated them all or perhaps she did not encounter them?

[smilingtearz]

Random Thought.. Why don't evil penguins choose to kidnap me instead!.. i wouldn't retaliate.. and atleast i don't have to give my exams!

[Pensive]

Evil penguins are evil so they want us to give exams and be in tention of exams so they will not kidnap us. We, poor kids, what a pity?

[emily655321]

Dad: I don't like centrifugal force. There's no reason for it to exist.

[Stanislaw]

[Nightshade]

Sort of.....

[Stanislaw]

don't fight it...sometimes treading the storm is half the fun...and then ye turn into me! :D

ahhh, I am sure those words have helped you. :D

[adilyoussef]

Sometimes we sought change to project our view of the world.

[emily655321]

Yay—I took the storm window up today! Warrrmmm...th.

[Stanislaw]

Time stolen from the company is the sweetest! http://www.freewebs.com/smbnb/Goomba.gif

[tn2743]

I hate deadlines. It is in moments like these that I cannot understand how I ever chose not to sleep when I had the option. Why would anyone? But of course I know that as soon as I hand in the work tomorrow, the bed will be the last thing I want to see. I'm a wierd creature.

[Nightshade]

Isnt anyon going to attempt to rescue me from the cluthches of the e*beeeeeeep censoring* Genourous and magnificiant Penguins ?
Ahhh they are even censoring my thoughts now :eek2:

[smilingtearz]

evil penguins seem to love litnet people!.. and always kidnap the good ones!

[Themis]

Is it possible to do something equally stupid to studying for five hours and merely coming up with the knowledge that you needn't have done that because you already know the whole book well enough?

[samercury]

Is it possible to do something equally stupid to studying for five hours and merely coming up with the knowledge that you needn't have done that because you already know the whole book well enough?
very possible :smash:

[Themis]

And would you know what that might be? :D
:wave:

[adilyoussef]

The whole day I spent it home
Sitting in my room alone
Not knowing what to do and I wonder
Why sometimes things are so harder
To be handeled alone with no help
To be saught and not bailing for help
Things seem so dull with no one roaming by
Posting in a thread or even say hi
Why should I be alone in this world
With no lover to whom I can say a word
"Alone" is a title of a book
I wrote for a life that was hooked
Nowhere in this univers and here
I'm still handling the pain I could not bear

[Pensive]

Hi adil, it is a nice poem...

I should! I should but no time...

[papayahed]

People should read emails before they send them out. Nothing like getting a snotty email from a coworker to motivate me to go the extra mile for them.

[papayahed]

I'm an owl!!! I went to a seminar today and I learned their are for different types of workers, I'm an owl. I'm analytical and like charts and graphs.







Did anybody not know that?

[Themis]

That you're an owl? Me! I didn't know that.

[Stanislaw]

People should read emails before they send them out. Nothing like getting a snotty email from a coworker to motivate me to go the extra mile for them.

oh yeah...like te extra mile to make sure they get the poisoned donut, or the extra mile to make sure they don't have a parachute at the coorperate skydive team building exercise, or possibly the extra mile to shove them infront of a bus...or the extra mile to come in early enough to work, to photocopy you butt, and stapling it to there face as they walk in the door!

Snotty coworkers always motivate me! :D

[ElizabethSewall]

Never study didactic, NEVER!!!
Whyyyyyyyyyyyy? :bawling:
Because it is compulsory of course... ~sighs~

Back to work (and it's 03:59, just depressing). :sick:

[Nightshade]

:eek2: You can use equasion skills without an equasion err I think where do I find a sum to try it with though?

[TBtheG]

If Jesus were a pizza topping, what would it taste like?

[ElizabethSewall]

Itsu demo soba ni ite

[Nightshade]

Blah bla blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bla blah blahbl;aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aa

[smilingtearz]

yeah what are you singing?

[smilingtearz]

random thought:
Gibberish can also make sense sometimes...
depends on how you percieve it... :)

[adilyoussef]

Sometimes when I'm feeling lonely I sought company, not knowing that in my loneliness there is peace. And it is too late as useal to beg pardon, for our souls we harm each time we commit a sin.

[Outlander]

Wow Adil....Sometimes I think that the only way to understand what your saying is to stop reading the words......Ahhhhh.

- The perception of Smiling tears is correct :)

[adilyoussef]

Wow Adil....Sometimes I think that the only way to understand what your saying is to stop reading the words......Ahhhhh.

- The perception of Smiling tears is correct :)
Am I not clear in what I'm writing? To be honest, sometimes I don't even understand myself. :D

[Taliesin]

This forum is going too fast. Too fast even for us and we are seventeen. Now where's the logic in that?

[rachel]

darling Tal,
whenever I look at the pictures of you in that wild beautiful wood I feel as if time stands still and even the faeries are sitting on logs and in the trees enjoying watching you play and the wonder of you.
so you teach everyone how to slow down and I am positive magically it will happen
better yet teach us in Estonian and that alone will make people take their time to just understand what you are saying. You really are wise and gentle.

[Nightshade]

Maybe sining iff your happy and you know it stamp your feet is not a good idea when driving :goof:

[rachel]

hahahahahahahaha. if you get any funnier little girl I am going to have to move the computer into the bathroom!

[Taliesin]

There was that poem in my german book. It doesn't lose much in translation, so we'll translate:


1944 1945
war war
war war
war war
war war
war may
war

[ElizabethSewall]

Why do poeple have to eat? Cooking for oneself alone is so boring... :( ;)

[smilingtearz]

Can i join you?

[ElizabethSewall]

Please do, I'd be delighted! :nod:

[woeful painter]

Good! Both o' ya cook and I'll wait 'till it's done LOL :D

[ElizabethSewall]

[smilingtearz]

[woeful painter]

Err...tough choice...any will be fine ....

[Nightshade]

It is not what we find that defines us but rather how we find it.
:nod:

[Bongitybongbong]

running is fun

[Ryduce]

my face hurts..........

[woeful painter]

It really pays to be a stubborn hard-headed fool.....painfully....*sigh*

[Bongitybongbong]

i would rather run tomorrow than even go to school

[smilingtearz]

The Human brain is the most outstanding object in nature... it works 24 hours... 365 days. It functions right from the time we're born and stops only when...


We enter the exam hall....

[AimusSage]

My brain has a very important function that never stops, not even in the exam hall. Some people say it isn't even the brain that does that kind of thinking, they might just be on to something. :)

[smilingtearz]

shut up Eva!

[papayahed]

So a friend didn't something slightly uncool yesterday. Later that evening I went running on my usual path. I saw 2 snakes where I hadn't previously seen any, ever. Coincidence? I think not.

[ShoutGrace]

I've been up for 25 hours and I have to work another 12 hour shift in 2 hours . . .uuuugh. Caffiene, where art thou? I hope I make it :(

[ElizabethSewall]

Don't play with candles, no matter how beautiful they look. Ouch... :rolleyes:

[Bongitybongbong]

i got yelled at for playing air guitar in geometry today

[ElizabethSewall]

i got yelled at for playing air guitar in geometry today :lol: :lol: :lol:
Wonderful! Which tune?

[Bongitybongbong]

i was playing Heart of a Dragon, it wasn't like i was singing the tune or even standing or that we were taking notes/test/something important. we were screwing around today and then i get yelled at :p most annoying thing ever

[ElizabethSewall]

Ok... Funny story. Yelling is what most of teachers do...

[Bongitybongbong]

i also got yelled at for being dumb, which means i put someone on my shoulders as she came in to the class

[mono]

Greetings, friends, and also to the many people who arrived during my absence!
Life has come to a steady simmer the past months, and hopefully I will soon enough have much more time to show my ID in this beloved forum I have missed. I remain a mere 5 weeks away from graduation from nursing school, requiring extensive diligence, and I just completed my preceptorship (much like an internship) at a local intensive care unit, where, also, I may get hired after getting licensed.
Despite the hectic months I feel to have experienced, you will all feel happy that I have not, however, neglected reading and writing (the third play in progress, and poetry always flowing from my pen). I expect some good upcoming discussions, because I have much to compensate for my time gone. :)

[rachel]

hullo dear Mono,
what an honor to see you on this site once more, it somehow feels richer just seeing your avy again.Congratulations on all your accomplishments, I am very proud of you.

[Regit]

Just did my first exam :D Feeling confident. Five more to go... must stay awake... must watch NBA playoffs :p ...no, must stay awake to study...

[smilingtearz]

best of luck regit :)

[chef]

I want a PB and J mmm... food!!!!

[smilingtearz]

what's PB & J?

[chef]

Just the best sandwich ever known, PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY!!!!!!!!!!

[smilingtearz]

oh... i never thought they were initials for penut butter and jelly..

[chef]

yea it's that great they gave it initials

[smilingtearz]

Random thought: conclusion
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are awesome and are nicknamed PB & J.. :D

[chef]

you said it there jaja

[smilingtearz]

hmm... another random thought..

Jaja can make a nice expression!

[chef]

what you mean running a little slow here....

[smilingtearz]

running slow... ?

scher would kill me if i hijack another thread with general chat!!
i've been doing that a lot lately

[AimusSage]

Indeed, I'm a witness to many of these hijacks. :)

[smilingtearz]

Look who's here! :banana:

[Bongitybongbong]

ultimate frisbee is the funnest sport ever

[Regit]

best of luck regit :)
Thank you smilingstearz ...ur so nice. :nod:

[rachel]

sweet Regit,
you will do very well, you know you will. And to all the above hullo and don't you think hijacking is ever so much fun. It is like being really little and pulling up someone's carrots and running like mad, only to be met by the very person who has somehow outrun you and is standing at the end of the block with a stick. fun while it lasts though.
love and hugs and bags of treats to you all.

[Regit]

sweet Regit,
you will do very well, you know you will.
Thanks Rachel. I feel even more confident now that you're also confident in me :D. Though I am very tired. Just spent 14 hours reading history; anyone wants to have a nice conversation about the formation of the English common law? So, it all started in 1066,... :p Why are they teaching me this stuff? - ignore that, dumb question. What am I talking about? I think revision is making me crazy. :sick:

[ShoutGrace]

Well you wouldn't know it from your post! (sarcasm?)

How are you today sir?

[Regit]

Hehe. I am very well thank you kind sir/ma'am. 30 minutes from my exam, just waiting for the coffee to... boil(?) Have a good day.

[ShoutGrace]

Back at ya! Good luck!

[smilingtearz]

Random thought: Your brain tells your fingers not to work when it's tired...

[AimusSage]

My brain never tells my fingers to work, they operate independently. This is sometimes confusing, as I find my fingers doing things they ought to not be doing. At that point I am forced to intervene and reprimand them. :)

And now for the random thought: WOOHOO! :D

[Nightshade]

OOHOOW


:p

[Taliesin]

Jesus saves - and takes half damage!

[WhimsySA]

I don't want to go to school tomorrow!!!!!

no he takes none because of improved evasion

being in love is the saddest part of my reality..........
sincerity takes me nowhere.......

[ElizabethSewall]

[Nightshade]

[Regit]

Exams all done. *sign* Time to do some interesting reading.

[rachel]

hullo sweet Regit,
here, I am sending a new set of golf clubs, suitably autographed by Tiger and a first edition of your most longed for to read book.
have a happy day.
today is the day I flippin finish that faerie story and stop procrastinating. It is the most complex one I have ever written and I...am .........tired.......from it.............

[Nightshade]

Ive finally decided what my dream career is.... I want to own a travel company specialising in tailor made holidays to egypt :nod:

[smilingtearz]

it's more sensible to sleep than wait...??????

[mono]

I can hardly wait for today.
Usually a few times during the spring and summer, a friend and I visit a small island near Portland, Oregon (where I live) called Sauvie Island on our bicycles. The challenge: we circumvent a large section of the island, stretching about 16 miles (almost 26 kilometers). We always have a wonderful time, but my legs ache for days afterwards, and the scenery appears absolutely stunning! Only few roads connect on Sauvie Island, as it mostly consists of immense gardens, forests, riverborders, lakes, farms, and several trails for hiking and bicycling.
Wish me luck! ;)

[Nightshade]

Good luck but Mono


:D

[rachel]

yes dear Mono,
have a beautiful wonderful time.
Night can I be the first to sign up for the tailor made holiday? sounds heavenly. :banana:

[adilyoussef]

Of course, good luck Mono.

[mono]

Ugh, as a following for my last post in this thread, as expected, my legs ache, when I walk, I feel like I waddle, and I slept heavily last night out of exhaustion.
The scenery looked beautiful as always - beautiful weather (something rare in Oregon, one of the most rainy states of the U.S.), flowers everywhere, some wildlife, and nearly empty roads and trails.
Hopefully, if I go again soon, I will get some pictures and post them, though I do not know why I did not this time. :p

[ElizabethSewall]

Letting hints everywhere is so funny. :p

[chef]

EL Rey de Constantinopla se queria Descontantinopolisar, aquel que lo Desconstantinopolisare sera un gran Desconstantinopolisador!! jaja it's a tongue twister in spanish jiji

[papayahed]

If you tell someone to clean up there mess and they don't, who's fault is it?

[ShoutGrace]

Letting hints everywhere is so funny. :p

And so rewarding for the viewers! :D

[AimusSage]

I suddenly started too feel cold, as if a presence came by and plugged in the refrigerator I was sitting in.

[Mariam]

I suddenly started too feel cold, as if a presence came by and plugged in the refrigerator I was sitting in.
Ha! :confused:

....Why can't I do better in my studies??
I know I can do better, my family knows that, and even my profs., I'm sure there is something wrong!(that's me) :confused:

[Isagel]

Must go to bed, must not check more posts, must not go and read the discussion on Poem of the week again, must go to bed.
But first just one more look.

[adilyoussef]

How I'd like to think but I'm impotant to do so
For thoughts flew away from me a long ago
I stay hopeless and with trepidation too
Gazing to my own destruction and fearing to show
My weekness and hopelessness in front of you
I'm struggling to win my life though

[mono]

Of all of the mindful poisons, none seems as wonderfully exhilirating nor as fulfillingly torturous as infatuation.

*sigh

[ElizabethSewall]

Of all of the mindful poisons, none seems as wonderfully exhilirating nor as fulfillingly torturous as infatuation.Agreed...

And... ~sighs as well~

[chef]

So i have a test tomorrow in History - me and history don't get along - and it's over 6 chapters, at least the teacher is leting us use notes, i hope i do good on it!

[Mililalil XXIV]

If every day you think you are having a bad hair day, could be you're not stepping back to get a proper perspective. Could it be a bad hair life? This idea, about horrible, natural hair growth patterns was a funny thing to hear at work on the radio.

[papayahed]

Of all of the mindful poisons, none seems as wonderfully exhilirating nor as fulfillingly torturous as infatuation.

Mono and some girl sitting in a tree......... :D

[Nightshade]

Ilove Old rereuns and I love T.com but mostly I love IMDB horrah!
:D:D:D::D:D:D:D

[Isagel]

T.com, IMDB?
What is this?
I feel old now.
The young ones speak a strange language.

[mono]

Mono and some girl sitting in a tree......... :D
Very funny (though I wish). :lol:

*sighs again like a smitten teenager. :D



By the way, Isagel, I think everyone refers to IMDB as the Internet Movie Database - a handy little site you can find here (http://www.imdb.com/). ;)

[AimusSage]

I'd hardly call it little, it's huge! :D

Just like this one particular mobile phone I saw the other day, it was walking by with a human attached, the human was alright, nothing special, but the phone, it was huge, could have been the hindenburg, it was so big. :D

[Nightshade]

Its TV.Com ( http://www.tv.com/)
its simialar to IMDB but only television series.
I was just that I found Cries of silance, a film I was looking for in referance for Ferral and abused children for my psychology course last year via an oldd episode of ER whch led me to Tv.com so I found out the actress was Ellen Crawford and that led me to IMDB and eurika!
I found the film:D
Now if I could just do the same for that film I saw when I was little with the swords and the big dresses I would be happy :D :lol:

[Shannanigan]

Why am I still here? Oh yeah...love.

*sigh*

[Mariam]

"It's much better to say passed away" He said in a low voice.
"Why is that?" I replyed in almost a shout.
"More polite....you don't want to hurt her feelings!"
"So you are making death sound nicer....to hill....we are all going to die and it dosen't have to be suger coated...It's death...people die...It sounds much better...uhh...you wont understand." I said while i was walking out of the room.

What was that??
I don't know!!

[papayahed]

On another website I saw the word "Curlmunity" and mistook it for "Curlmutiney" and got all excited that they were pirates too. Perhaps I need to turn the computer off for a few hours..

[Regit]

4 more years! He's staying for 4 more years! Never doubt Thierry.

[rachel]

huh? Hullo darling Regit, how goes the nine and or eighteen holes these days? How is your swing. My son Clayton last year was asked to enter a competition for one of the businesses he works for and the golf tourney was to be televised. He had not had time to play golf the whole season before so , while I was busy going thru the shops to find a really great leather glove for a lefthander, he went to a practise place and bought about four hours worth of time and balls and practised. That night we had to go to pharmacy for allsorts of creams and bandages, he had literally no skin on the palm of that hand.He was in agony. But the trooper he was, he went the next day and well.....he was awesome. birdied all over the place. What a guy.
And the fam sends our love to you.....you are wonderful.

[chmpman]

I'm thinking I need to install a breathalizer in my computer.

[ktd222]

Is this what I want to say?

[AimusSage]

American Football has to be one of the most boring sports invented by man.

[WhimsySA]

:bawling: Thing went away!!!!!!!!! :bawling:

[Themis]

It's no wonder I never reach anybody when I always try to call Spain instead of (a mobile phone in) Austria.

[chmpman]

American Football has to be one of the most boring sports invented by man.

Dear God no!! Football to every other country of the world is what I consider boring.

[Scheherazade]

American Football has to be one of the most boring sports invented by man.I take it you haven't watched cricket yet! :p

[AimusSage]

Well, that is your right, but I happen to disagree :)

The thing is, the premise of the game is pretty nice, and it has it's moments, but it gets stopped every other second when they go for 1st down they have a play and stop, 2nd down, a play and stop again. There are a gazzillion breaks etc from the game. It's nice to watch on TV, but last saterday I had the chance to see a game of the Amsterdam Admirals live. At least I now know the purpose of the cheerleaders. An hour of actual play spread out over three hours. They have a lot of entertaining to do.

If you don't know the Amsterdam Admirals, they're the best team in Europe :D Nothing compared to the NFL ofcourse.

[chmpman]

I would say the continual breaks create tension and expectation in the viewer. Anyway, from my impression, going to live games is supposed to be an opportunity to get drunk and yell a lot, rather than actually watch the game. Were you at least able to do this?

Also, I've never heard of the Admirals, and am not familiar at all with the European game of American football.

[AimusSage]

The atmosphere in the stadium was great, true, but really, with Football, the other kind, the game actually matters to the spectators, so I guess I was just expecting to much. It's a different culture all together. :)

[Jay]

My random thought of the day is WHY? and Why AGAIN? (http://live82.ihwc.net/english/) :brickwall

SO glad I don't have a TV here and wasn't able to watch it...

[AimusSage]

Little Miss Vermin feeling a little dissapointed? :p
I think the best team won!

[Jay]

Nah, not disappointed, just feeling down a bit ;)
Congrats to the Swedish guys :) ... we'll kick your butts next time! :D

[Nightshade]

What is this a sports thread??

[papayahed]

What is this a sports thread??


Hey how about those Detroit Pistons huh?

[Mililalil XXIV]

Yeah, sports, sports, sports!

I was so going for the Cavs in that game papaya.

[ShoutGrace]

But isn't it only proper to root for the underdog?

Cavs lost?!?! Now the funs out of it.

Reasons I hate cleaning:
1) its icky.
2) The more you clean the more the dirt shows up the more you need to clean the more dirt there suddenly appears the more you need to clean the more the tiles look dull or are watre splattere the more you clean and on and on and on its a visious circle.

Having ignored the critical condition of my favorite, and very old, sweater, perhaps the Freudian coping mechanism of denial, recently I finally realized the poor shape of my dark blue sweater - its tattered holes, ravaged color, but its continuous warmth.
Very sadly and with much hesitancy, I compelled myself to retire my poor sweater to its grave in the dumpster of my apartment complex. Rest in peace, my dearest sweater; no other sweater will ever compare to your warmth. :(




(though I loved the sweater, please, everyone, notice my sarcasm :D)

Should we arrange a vigil?

[Scheherazade]

Anyway, from my impression, going to live games is supposed to be an opportunity to get drunk and yell a lot, rather than actually watch the game. This reminds of an article of Steve Mirsky's in Scientific American, in which he was questioning the mentality of a +300 lbs man watching the game while devouring hotdogs and guzzling beer while shouting at college kids to run faster and tackle swifter.

:lol:sounds about right. and :eek: Scher reads Scientific American?

While everyone is talking sports, :bawling: Spurs lost tonight. Game seven. same old story.

[chmpman]

I was going for the Mavs.

I wasn't too serious in my response to Aimus. I only meant that when people go to live games they typically are so far separated from the action on the field (especially to us with bad eyesight) that one must create his/her own action in unison with the crowd around one. But being from Montana we don't have much for professional sports, other than bullriding which I refuse to get into, and so I'm only speculating.

The Pistons were underdogs, once.... a couple years ago.


HaHa my friends and I go to baseball games to sit and catch up with each other.

Oh, you have 5000 post, such a nice round number, Congrats on posting one beyond 4999. :D

[mono]

Wow, I hardly noticed . . . now up to 5,000-something with this post. Yes, one can have long-since declared me as a forum-addict.
This calls for a dancing banana: :banana:

:D

[ElizabethSewall]

:banana: Oh, wow!! Congratulations, dear, Mono!! :banana:


I think I need a coffin as well. I can furnish the candles and black clothes but my beloved dying fountain pen is desperately in need for a beautiful place to rest in peace. Something worthy of it...

I shall never have a better one! :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

[AimusSage]

Just consider the pen lucky, having had someone who cares about it as much as you did. :)

Oh how I have fond memories of the only fountain pen I ever had! Ink stains everywhere :D

[ElizabethSewall]

We are so sentimental. :)
And the compliment is more than returned for I do think your pen is elated to be held by such a hand!

I cannot buy a new one, it would kill me...

[AimusSage]

I doubt that, he used to spit ink everywhere, I think he did it out of spite. :nod:


I cannot buy a new one, it would kill me...

Yes it would, but you would be reborn again, with your new pen at your side, it'll put your thoughts on paper, just as it was with your old pen, and his loving memory will live on in the new pen. :D

That's what happened when my old dog died, a long time ago. :nod:

[ElizabethSewall]

Oooh... You are so nice, Aimus! Thank you.
I will consider the thought of a new pen! ;)

And I am sure yours used to spit ink only to be unique, thus being worthy of you. :D

[AimusSage]

You're too kind, and might just be on to something, he was probably mimicking me. It's amazing how pens take on the personality of their masters. :)

Well, I cannot tell about mine, it would not be objective.

[AimusSage]

I'm sure it's the loveliest pen in all of France. :)

Oh, no! Papayahed, I cannot apologize enough to hear of your unfortunate news! Obviously they do not realize the great loss of your disappearance; they will notice, surely. If you need any consolation, you know you have many friends here! ;)

Oh wait! I didn't get canned, my job just got a lot harder. I will have to deal with a person that can't stop telling you how good a job he does, Who's sneaky, and who generally looks to blame others when things go wrong.

Oops! So much for trying to understand everything after I just completed my undergraduate thesis for nursing school.
Well, papaya, thanks for relieving me of worry for you! :lol: I suppose your situation sounds much better than getting 'canned.' Silly me. :D

[rachel]

PAPAYA, NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD FIRE YOU. YOU WILL ALWAYS MAKE IT.Ireally believe that.
Congratulations Mono, that is very impressive.
Poor darling Elizabeth, I know how you feel. I have an angel it is frosted glass and sparkles and I got nervous and bumped him and he fell and now part of the wing is shredded and missing and he is very dreadful looking. I meant to put that part of the wing up higher, someone I fear has tossed it into the bin. My poor angel, I can't cry anymore over him. I let him down and he gave me so much happiness.Every thing I do, every decision I have made lately has been so wrong. I have had it with me. dunce dunce dunce. :bawling:

It happened once, it could happen again.

[rachel]

I believe, by the very nature of the type of person you are Papaya that you will always come up on top. that was then, this is now. You are GOOD at what you do, the bottom line is always to increase profit for the corporation. I am confident in your ability to meet the tests. And besides..................I know a guy...............(call me)

[adilyoussef]

Once I had a thought and shaped it in a real figure, than it personalized and becam true; I drew a picture and spell life on it and it became alive; but then I've realized it was just a dream.

[Dirt McKert]

that was almost poetic :)
and poetry make me happy

it also reminds me of this:


I’m looking at her
Straight into her eyes
And how pretty she is
Sitting by my side.

The look she sends
Touching my soul
Looking through
With those serious eyes.

Pretty as all
And ever can be
Seeing my heart
Grow larger than thee.

We move slowly
For the moment
But then I see
There is no movement;
She
Is
Not
There.

[rachel]

darling Adil,
I MISS YOU , and that was poetic and gorgeous. Dirt, go to his posts and read some of them, he is an awesome poet and I collect his writing.
Dirt, I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL YOU POST YOU KNOW WHAT.YYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYY

[Dirt McKert]

well, rach, it's done :D
hope you're happy ;)

[mono]

Yes, indeed, I have completed my undergraduate thesis! My fingers and wrists still ache from all of the typing, having completed so much in one day (yesterday). Also having completed my internship (with a job interview on Monday for a position I greatly desire in the intensive care unit), it looks like 'smooth sailing' for a few weeks, until graduation. :banana:

[Dirt McKert]

so long and farewell

Behold the horrors that beset upon me earlier today. I was lucky to get away with my life!

[Riesa]

Those bovine do look particularly frightening!

[AimusSage]

Especially the one in the front, do you see it? It's hiding behind the shrubbery! :eek: Managed to jump right at me, catching me and the dog by surprise, we made a run for it though, and got back home before any harm could befall us.

[imthefoolonthehill]

why do i dream of klaedoscopic talking cats?

its not so cool once you understand they are trying to kill you... and can cloak like that predator guy.

[Themis]

I do wonder why in every book I have to read nowadays the author cannot write more than one sentence without using a phrase in latin and always has to use a foreign word that I have never heard of before. Not that I don't use such words myself but these people really overdo it!

[Nightshade]

Hey fool on the hill is back when did that happen??

:wave:

Ahh life can sometimes be a pain but we couldnt live with out it!:D

[imthefoolonthehill]

:-) yeah i'm back... My life finally calmed down and I've gotten the chance to take a deep breath, read some books and get on the literature network.

I took a break from the literature network for my first year of college. :-)

Thank God finals are over.

This poem was nominated poem of 2005 for the best
poem, written by an African kid...

When I born, I Black,
When I grow up, I Black,
When I go in Sun, I Black,
When I scared, I Black,
When I sick, I Black,
And when I die, I still black..
And you White fella,
When you born, you Pink,
When you grow up, you White,
When you go in Sun, you Red,
When you cold, you Blue,
When you scared, you Yellow,
When you sick, you Green,
And when you die, you Gray..
And you calling me Colored ??

Why is it when a pretty girl smiles at me and says "could you..." I automatically say yes bafore hearing the rest of the sentence. I never actually want to help.

[AimusSage]

Awww, doesn't it suck? A universal weakness but you'll get over it, NOT! :p

what kind of society has revolution as just another cliche of pop culture?

what do you do when everything has been tried, and society has failed for them all?

do you join the little clique of revolutionaries or the little clique of anarchists or the little clique of chaos-mongers?

little societies of themselves.

inescapable, this control.

[Nightshade]

Isnt that a micro cosom? or somthing aworld within a world within a world like the destorted reflection in the eyes of a relections eyes.

[ShoutGrace]

A mystery wrapped in an enigma, portayed in a puzzle, boxed in a conundrum, encapsulated in a riddle, engulfed in a paradox, wrapped in a quandry, with a chocolaty coating and a nutty center. hmmmmmm.

i have an answer for that... in a situation as that.. forget revolutions, forget society, forget groups.. forget what's been tried and forget what has to be...

Anybody read Watership Down? A band of rabbits search for a new home after their previous warren is destroyed. A classic retelling of the Hero's tale, only with rabbits.

In one part, the travelers come across another warren filled with large, magnificent rabbits. Only these rabbits seem a bit strange. They are incurious to the point of complacency. They have forgotten the old tales. They have no use for tricks or cunning. And the most curious thing of all: rabbits sometimes disappeared. Whenever that happened, when a rabbit would simply vanish from the warren, the other rabbits were not allowed to ask where that rabbit was or what might have happened to him; they simply acted as though that rabbit had never existed.

Interesting book.

[imthefoolonthehill]

Yeah, I've read that book. I liked it a lot. An easy read, deep as you want to make it.

[adilyoussef]

What to think is a question that I've been thinking of without being aware that that involeves the same process of reflecting on the same question.

"I know a boy of your age that was intent on reading through the whole Spengler. He did. And he went mad." - Writer Banev from "Ugly Swans" by Strugatski.

Some thoughts to ponder (of the average person, of course, and depending on one's learning style - visual, audio, kinesthetic, tactile, etc.):

You learn . . .
10% of what you read,
20% of what you hear,
30% of what you see,
50% of what you see and hear,
70% of what you discuss,
80% of what you experience,
95% of what you teach.

[imthefoolonthehill]

i don't know if the percentages are true, but I do know that I never really understood Algebra and Calculus until I started teaching it.

Come to think of it, I didn't understand Geometry until then...

You'd be talking about something like factoring and they'ed sit there and ask why until you reduced it down to the commutative property or something like that, and then they'd say, "oh."

and then you'd see how it was all built together, almost like taking apart an electric drill.

[AimusSage]

All I know when I take apart an electric drill is that it'll never function properly again :lol:

[Taliesin]

One teacher to another:
"I don't understand how my students can be so stupid. I explain them the subject for the first time - they don't understand. I explain for second time - and they still don't understand. I explain them for third time and i already start to understand it, but they still don't!"

How do I get into these perdicaments? My boss asked if I would consider moving my office. Why, might you ask? Because the newly promoted guy wants it. Do I give it up and keep the peace or keep my office and perhaps be the target of the new guys grudge?

ALGERNON
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.

JACK
Is that clever?

ALGERNON
It is perfectly phrased! and quite as true as any observation in civilised life should be.

JACK
I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays. You can't go anywhere without meeting clever people. The thing has become an absolute public nuisance. I wish to goodness we had a few fools left.

ALGERNON
We have.

JACK
I should extremely like to meet them. What do they talk about?

ALGERNON
The fools? Oh! about the clever people, of course.

JACK
What fools!

well the best advice I can give you is to stop this probel at the source...during lunch or at some time when ye have many witnesses walk up to the n00b and rip his head off with a stapler...and poor salt down his bleeding stump of a neck. Otherwise they will keep asking you to relocate your office at a whim...trust me...and after your third decapitation ye start to get used to the shrieks of horror...thats not horror thats respect and envy! :D
