Be patient. It ends when it has to end; neither a second earlier nor a second later.Quote:

It's not too bad though, because it was WAY worse when I was waitressing. When I was bartending in Edmonton while I was at the U of A it wasn't half as bad, it's just this isolated little town and it's horny rednecks.
I have the best boyfriend ever! :D
Done with finals; now break!
I realized someone I was looking for had already found me, and was secretly talking to me while pretending to be someone else. I am completely perplexed.
I have a friend who worked as a cashier in northern BC and had exactly the same experience you describe. The rig-workers were practically humping her leg all day every day. She said she'd not wear make up, would avoid eye-contact and still it made no difference.Quote:

Maybe here too. I don't know. Could be anyone. This person created a false identity outside of the internet, though. Possibly several. I'm not upset, just confused and curious to learn what the motivation has been.Quote:

Storm's cleared (but excellent while it lasted - there was one bolt right next door and the thunderclap was deafening)
I actually don't have many weird associations. I do receive weird attention, however. The person I'm speaking of was a friend in the real world for over ten years. We also dated. Aside from being the smartest mega genius I ever knew, he wasn't strange. He had an artful way of speaking. At some point he seemed to develop an alcohol problem and I kind of withdrew from the friendship. I tried to find him later to see if he had recovered, to see if he was still living.Quote:

The online version of him made friends with a girl I was very close friends with in the real world. We had several mutual acquaintances. He moved around in the states. He flew to visit here and there with people I genuinely knew, and he was doing it as different people. I don't think he's scary. I think this has been a very elaborate Andy Kaufman type of joke. Made possible by him being a rich, bored genius.
Lightning storms can be cool. We just had a big snow storm here. I went out in it last night for fun.
right now?
why is the doc so clever?
ROAR!
Are any of his alternate personas
1) Rich?
2) Bored?
3) Genius?
Maybe they don't want to be perceived in these pigeonholing categories for stultification purposes, and found online a new identity (or twenty) serves their freedom better, even if some people get confuddled in the process?
Perhaps have a look at a movie called The Ruling Class if you're looking for answers to behavioral problems amongst the upper echelons.
Well it rained all night and my towels are now soaked through, which is a bloody nuisance, so I'm off to buy more :)
Rich, bored, and genius they all are, but one is rich from inheritance, one from gambling wins, one from a successful psychology practice. I now have no idea what his actual job was, but he certainly had the means to inhabit multiple residences, afford at least two cellular phones and two computers, and travel frequently in planes.Quote:

I think that Varenne is under a situation that might awaken my detective side. Gotta nail this cheeky culprit! http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/yes2.gif :p
That's how I felt, Max! He wove quite a tapestry.
You seem to have been a center of attention, which is often interesting and at times it may also feel as a caress, but be careful anyway.
Good advice, Max. I wish him well and, as for me, I'm secure. :)Quote:

They complain when one spends the day at the computer doing one's stuff, but when one browses the web for a considerable time searching for some of their stuff they just love it. Conclusion: the value of what I do is directly proportional to someone else's interests.
Ah Varenne - so you may never have known the real person? This is strange to the power of um lots.
I must remember to buy new towels every Christmas!
It's hard to say what I knew. Some things I'm certain of. He was very well read. He was an atheist. His knowledge of history and global politics were the best I have encountered. His sense of humor was sharp and always on. He seemed genuinely giddy with happiness around me. He once told me he wrote a little story about me. It was written by Harlan Ellison, but I pretended I didn't know because he seemed so pleased with himself. It's hard to describe, but he was a funny funny person. I really liked being his friend. I'm content to not be his friend now, but it was an enriching experience.Quote:

My fridge has just died on me and I don't have the tools to repair it, and I don't trust repairmen, and I'll only buy another as a last resort - which will then leave me with a bunch of useless fridge repair tools, hassle hassle hassle...
Pearl Harbour sucked, and I miss you.
I think somebody needs a new fridge!
Kim Jong Il died.

right now?
that the general chatters need to buckle up because the best is yet to come from the doc...
ROAR!
I'm not thinking at all. I'm just posting on the Literature Forum.
right now?
if it keep on rainin', the levee gonna break...
ROAR!
It should be entirely illegal to have your credit info stored in your Nook. I swear I just spent like $40 in a matter of minutes because it's as simple as clicking buy and then confirm. No tangible books means it's very easy to over spend :)
I exam today- they said if this does't work it's bifocals. BIFOCALS!?!?!?!
I'm really enjoying playing on my brother's XBox 360. I've never played on one before...
I'm thinking I need a bigger suitcase for my trip to Melbourne on Boxing Day!
I'm watching Eyes Wide Shut by Kubrick and thinking it's defo a masterpiece and why the hell was it slated when it came out?
He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue,
So thin and graceful the sun shines through.
This little bird who lives on the wind,
This little bird that somebody sends.
He flies so high up in the sky
Out of reach of human eye.
And the only time that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird dies.
Some ten verses! http://smiles.kolobok.us/personal/hi.gifQuote:
