Yes, it may be distressing for you to think of seeing him....but imagine how he would feel to see some girl staring at him from across the street while he is taking a dump. Or worse still if your b/f happened to be looking out the window and he saw him staring at him.

but he probably dosnt realise he can be seen so many people forget when you live in buildings.
:D
Is that a kind of euphemism or American way of saying something??Quote:

"No Sir., I've ridden before, but never were the seats so full."
"They're beautiful when they're full, the aroma is intoxicating.
Do be careful where your walking;
never, step on smurfs in odd numbers.
Remember, equilibrium is all important when finding a seat."
The petrified frog continued it's rotation as the bus moved foward.

I can't figure out what that's supposed to mean, but it sounds creepy!
Scher — No, I didn't mean it to be a euphemism. I was just trying to think of anything that would be more pleasant to watch than a bathroom! :D
EDIT: I meant this kind of petting:

One in 10 young people would drop out of education for a shot at TV fame, a survey suggests. And 16% believe they will actually become famous, according to the Learning and Skills Council survey of 777 16-19 year olds in England.
But many young people also said they would prefer to emulate well-known figures such as Prime Minister Tony Blair and cricketer Andrew Flintoff.
The LSC says education should be seen as the most reliable route to success.
'I would drop out'
Many young people do not understand that the odds of being selected for a reality TV show such as Big Brother - and continuing to be famous afterwards - are very slim, the LSC says.
Almost one in ten said they thought celebrity was a great way to earn money without skills or qualifications.
Ruth Bullen, LSC spokeswoman, said research showed that young people without five good GCSEs or the equivalent were more likely to earn low pay in later life.

"If making money is the reason a young person wants to become famous, then by staying on in education or training they can significantly increase their future earning power by gaining these essential qualifications," she said.
More than half of teenagers who said they wanted to become famous cited money and success as the principal reason.
James Pollock, 15, from Unity City Academy Middlesbrough, said: "Although I plan to make something with my life by working hard and going to college, an offer like Big Brother would be too tempting to resist.
"It's the fastest route to fame, and I'd drop out of school or college to have that chance."
Forgotten
Previous research it had undertaken suggested that pupils who stay on at school after their GCSEs could earn up to £4,000 more per year than those without good GCSEs - adding up to £185,000 over their careers.
It says students who gain A-levels or other advanced qualifications can expect to earn an average yearly salary of £20,692.
But those who leave school without obtaining five GCSE passes at grades A*-C or the equivalent can expect an average salary of £16,739.
And it is urging those young people who are banking on a moment of fame to draw in the cash to remember those former Big Brother contestants who have long since been forgotten.
:cold: scary.......
I was wondering why I dreamed of wolves last night.
Yeah, Yeah...it's most likely in the wrong place..I know, I need more coffee.
----
Some friends and I found a house, you know the kind; run down and barely holding itself up. Nobody wants to go in but it draws you like a train wreck.
Once we were in, and had seen enough to satisfy our curiousity. I heard a thunder from the hill behind. Wrongfully amused, I ran to the window.
At least a dozen beasts came over the hill, they were aiming strait for the house. Wolves! they were larger than any I'd ever seen. Their fur was far too thick around the neck, and as if the weight were a burden, they held their heads low to the ground like hyenias.
Fear had me unable to run, and pounding of my pulse was soon as loud as the thundering paws. I turned the lock on the window, and noticed no glass.
-Strange, the odd things our protective instincts will make us do in times of painc. - I locked a glassless window against a pack of wolves.
Things moved too quickly to tell you of it all, But, I can tell you; they found themselves quite a feast.
Those of us, who I thought to be lucky; were taken by the throat.
The unfortunate ones, I among them, learned that the harshest pain did not come from the teeth piercing the flesh, but rather, as they shook you to tear off the mouthfull. One would get it's bite and begin the shaking, another would take hold, and tear in competition. I could hear no screams, the shock of all blessedly left me deaf, or was that from blood loss? Sweet Erin, with her strawberry blonde hair, was only a few feet from me. They had torn open her stomach, and one of the things had it's head inside her, under the ribs.
She turned her eyes towards me, and the room went dark.
Penguins are sooo cool
shouldn't I be studying!!
Lost in trying to make up my mind
Lost in trying to looke at your eyes
Lost in trying to divulge my love
Lost in trying to be myself
I'm lost in my thoughts
Outlander, that's such a vivid dream. Very scary.
I do enjoy a good lucid dream, but when they go in that direction........Quote:

Unfortunately, Emily...
I've also learned what my mind thinks would happen in vacuum of space.
I assure you, it's quite pointless to try to hold your eyes in, or anything with an "exit" for that matter. Although horribly inverted, upon full extension the digestive system is rather impressive.
* Never eat a large meal before walking in space.
This reminds me of highschool science, and the disection that I performed, almost no one in the class wanted to participate, but once one actually starts unravelling the intestine (I was working on a pig mind you) it is ammazing how long it actually is, I was quite suprised, we had to use a tape measue to measure the intestine length because the rulers provided were to small, and the eyeball thing also brings back interesting memories...dissecting the cow eye, that was a cool year. Dissecting the eye was difficult though, the scapels they had provided us with were not very sharp to begin with, and after the pig disection, they were even more dull, it was a pain in the butt.

An independent college is becoming the first in Britain to make Mandarin Chinese a compulsory subject.
The move at Brighton College, in East Sussex, was said to reflect China's position as the fastest-growing economy in the world.
Mandarin Chinese will join French, Spanish and Latin as a core language for 13 to 18-year-old pupils.
New head teacher Richard Cairns said he would join the first classes in September to learn the subject himself.
"One of my key tasks is to make sure pupils at Brighton College are equipped for the realities of the 21st Century," said Mr Cairns.
Native speakers
"This year China replaced Britain as the world's fourth largest economy.
"We in Britain need to face up to this challenge, see it for the trading opportunity that it is, and ensure that our nation's children are well-placed to thrive in this new global reality."
Mr Cairns said around a dozen native Chinese speakers currently attended the college.
"I very much hope they will be able to help our native Sussex boys and girls get to grips with what I imagine to be a rather challenging experience.
"I have also agreed to join the first Mandarin Chinese class.
"I think it is the best way for me to show the pupils how important I regard this new addition to our core curriculum."
:thumbs_up Scheher, you have the most interesting and informative news plus the cutest cartoons!
I remember in Junior high that there were predictions that mandarin was going to replace english as the language of commerce.
Intriguingly it's one of the main languages in the sci-fi show Firefly which is based in the future. They actually curse in Chinese on the show and the movie Serenity. Amusing.
If people would just occasionall indulge in reading somthing they normally wouldnt life would be so much easier.
According to the Times I have the most sttressful job :eek2:
Ikea song
I came across this song while listening to a podcast, and it is rather funny, its about ikea.

You can check out more of this guys stuff here...he has a remix of baby got back that is so funny. :D
Why do thing always happen together and overlap and I can never choose cos any choice brings some good but also some loss?
I'm in the process of applying for a traineeship I've been wanting to do for ages (only now I meet the requirements). And today I got a great job offer from another place, in a field that is not what I would want to do of my life... But still, it's a very good place and even if it's in the commercial field (not my cup of tea), it does seem interesting and with good prospects... I'm going to have an interview and see what happens, but it makes me wonder... if they choose me, I'll have to put all my dreams aside... the crazy things, the adventures, the things I want to do now that I'm still young and I might not care about when I'll be 40... And I'll have to live here, in the same house, in the same city I've been dreaming of leaving for good since I was 13...
It's weird... It would be foolish to give up on such a job opportunity... I'll take it and see if they want me, and I'll leave it if I get a place at that traineeship (I won't know until late March) or, later on, if I find something related to what I really want.
Though I still don't know what I really want... something more literary than the commercial office of a company, but well... that shouldn't suck either, at least for a few months/years.
The upside is that I was offered that job because I studied Russian. Maybe it's a choice that will eventually pay... and maybe one day I will have a great CV and be able to choose among many great possibilities...
Perhaps I should start reading the ... thing ... "Law of Criminal Process". That sounds strange. "Strafprozessrecht" which means exactly the same sounds way easier. At least it isn't so complicated ... for me. I wonder if there actually IS a law of (the?) criminal process in England or America. Though it isn't really a 'law', it's more a description. A very long one but not really a law. Or maybe it is? Because it's a description?
Or perhaps it's not a real description. Not entirely. One would have to define "description" to know that I guess. Or one could stop thinking such nonsense and just start reading the book!
As I was sitting a few moments ago in front of my desk, my attention was caught by a bird by the window. I gazed at it for a moment watching it flying lifely and jumping from side to side. I wondered why could not I be so having a short life worth living. Each second I spend would have a meaning. But still here I sit writing this post.
Quik Quack Queek Quaack Quack Quack.
It's cold outside.
Minus 23 celsius.
The primary school kids at least get frost holidays, and lucky for them. It would seem quite cruel to send a seven-year-old to school with such weather.
We wouldn't say no to cold holidays either.
Life, in a sense, is a protracted diseased existance, and I suppose our life will ony have meaning in our death, and by how we have crawled along in our meaningless existance.
Lifes a b :mad: then you die. :D
You make me heartly laugh Glady. I like your thought.Quote:

:bawling: I'm a bear of very little brain. I got 1/10. :eek2: I knew that the Pooh illustrations were based on "Growler" the teddy bear. :D
I may be stupid when it comes to Pooh, but they still have poor grammar:

Give Thy Thought No Tongue
Give Thy Ears To Every Thought
Note to self: How can I do that? Whenever I brings my ear near to the telephone on which my brother is talking to someone, I nearly gets a slap. I can't even give my ears to the old feeble telephone then how can I give my ears to people's thoughts?
*dropping two tears*
I know nothing about Winnie the Pooh...
anyway the random thought I wanted to post is:
My life is a big IF at the moment... :confused:
:lol:
Random thought: ....scary....
Random thought: It is a lovely cold weather around here. About - 28 degrees Celsius. Plus a nice little wind which means that staying outside without some really good protection from cold means frostbites. Or if it goes a bit colder, one can freeze to death.
We wore double wool hats, double mittens, a good coldproof jacket, a long woolly scarf, a pair of long underwear, woolly boots, dog-wool socks and a protective cream, but still we couldn't be outside for longer than ten minutes.
