Since someone very kindly made me my own thread, I thought some other people might like to have theirs too. Feel free to indulge in some self promotion or just tell us something that you think we might be interested in, or might not... who cares? It's your thread.

I hate it when ppl use big words...even the big 4 letter words!

don't you mean you hate it when there is no e-speak abbreviation .. make sure you grab the right S.A.T. test when you step up to the table

Didn't Andrew tell you ? He's applied to Ohio State

*bangs head against monitor* I am dumb… I should know better than to check my work e-mail this late @ nite. I AM DUMB

Cat .. shorten DUMB to DUM .. andrew just got done telling you long words annoy him

Oops… my bad!

What.. no sly witticisms or jaunty repartee is to be bantered about here anymore.. because.. its obvious that Cat has possitively lost her marbles in checking her E-Mail.

Now, if someone would be so kind as translate what I just said into "E-speak". It would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks.. Buh-bye. :oP

Translation .. WTF OMG .. no josh n jolly tok xchng w/e .. coz NYC chick's mail is whack, yo

I find this 'e-speak' an annoyance. If you don't know the meaning of the word look it up.

fo shizzle, muh nizzle.

ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @Keith ......yo Keith, is that the expert translation or a rough translation ?

LMAO @ keith... that was THE best... LOL

No never! I'd never apply to such a hideous school!

Only if I was majoring in Corn Field...but i'm not...cause i'm not from ohio.

Turned ya down, eh Andrew ? It was your essay, wasn't it ? Fess up

It was :( I thought a corn story would get me in...maybe they just got offende...CAUSE THEY KNEW IT WAS TRUE!!! :)

It was too corny…

No one wants to use this thread for self promotion?? Come on, this is your opportunity for five minutes of fame, people!

I want my 15 not 5 minutes of fame
if you can make a thread that'll do that...then maybe i'll share more of my pointless feelings :P

I'm modest… and shy…

*adjusts timer to allow 15 minutes*

Ok so today I was supposed to do this presentation but the ppl before me took up the entire time so i get to go tomorrow...umm...YAY umm...no

i get to teach the class in that thing so umm...yea interesting

umm...yay :D 15 minutes of fame...i never thought it was possible.

when I was a freshman in highschool I had to give a speech on .. (*drum roll*) .. "how to tie your shoes" .. prior to being called up, I asked this girl I used to be "involved" with to serve as my 'display' and tie her shoe as I instucted the class in the proper procedure

trouble insued when we found out halfway through that she tied her shoes differently than I did .. It was later proven that my method was correct .. =) .. I always knew that girl was whack

By "later"... you mean you confronted her with undeniable evidence at your school reunion, don't you?

yes .. but I 'showed' her .. and the one other person at the reunion that was also in my English 101 class shot their fist skyward .. and yelled "heck yeah" !!! ..

It was a very liberal school

Ok self-indulgence huh...
I am a dork and proud. I read books...especially books without pictures.
I like Lisa Loeb and Melissa Etheridge and Tracy Chapman...I also love classic rock.
I love hot dogs with mustard only.
I don't eat candy often...I don't really like it.
I hate Barney but am still addicted to Sesame Street.
I want to be a race car driver when I grow up.
I am a cat person...cats rule, dogs drool.
I was a serious debate dork who never missed a tournament in HS.
I like purple and green and buttercup yellow.
Naked is good.
Naked with a good microbrew is even better.

More self-indulgence to come later.

Silly...so sill you are Jenn! So, so silly...a hot dog w/ONLY mustard is like saying...i LOVE Ohio...now now, ketchup is the answer ;P

Ketchup is the anti-christ!!!!! YUCK!!!! Hot dogs are best dressed in mustard. Especially those yummy Costco hot dogs...ok, I admit sometimes I add a big spoonful of kraut to my dogs and mustard...think of it as accessorizing well.



...Lauren, you may want to read this, and when you do, remember your mantra...Godiva, Godiva, Godiva:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060524/hl_nm/chocolate_power_dc

>>>Andrew...I have a bottle of mustard with your name on it right here...bring it on man!!! Just bring it!!!

;-D

Seriously...I love mustard. There are cat people and dog people...I am a cat person...there are also mustard people and ketchup people and I am a mustard person...besides ketchup people tend to be dog people...at least in my experiences. So again I say...cats rule, dogs drool.

*sobs* but I like dark chocolate better !

Lessee .....I don't like ANY condiments ....at all....I don't like mustard, ketchup, mayo ....none of that gunk. When I make tuna or egg salad I put enough mayo in to hold it together & then I add milk to moisten it ....

SILLY!!!!!!!!!!! ppl...

ketchup is the bestest

dogs are the bestest

and i understand everyone likes certain things...but mustard!?

Nope.....no mustard ...yuck-o !

i kno...i was talking to jenn :P

the ketchup part was for you too though :)

• I have 3 1/2 sisters (we adopted the partial one… she didn't have much of a choice)
• I adore being amused

*learned*

oh… and I was once thrown off a boardwalk in California for shooting a cop in the back of the head w/the water gun I won playing skeeball. Wait… if I shot him in the BACK of the head you say… how did I get busted?

Answer: I was the only person not cracking up on the bench I was sitting on. Friggin idiots.

Ummm... you squirted a policemen, and *they* are the idiots?? Interesting logic...

I was 15 & stupid! I'm allowed! and lemme tell ya… NY cops laugh that stuff off… CA cops have NO sense of humor!

and no… the idiots were my friends on the bench who couldn't keep a straight face until after the danger of getting busted had passed *sigh*

I'd say they were idiots for not pointing and yelling "She did it!!! That one right there!! Get her officer, take her away!!!!"

NY cops laugh that off .. coz they're all on the take

a cupie doll, a hard won teddy bear, .. and they'll look the other way

California Cops understand that the only way for you to learn .. is to pay a harsh price ... (the harsh price being if you didn't figure out you could come back once they moved on .. you be stooooopid)

lol… well… we were by the exit cuz we were already leaving anyways… so I only had to wait in the parking lot for 10 min while the rest of the group gathered up.

and um… they threatened to arrest me for trespassing if I went back on the boardwalk… dat was a lie? *begins plotting revenge*

*I studied to be a chef...until I was told to boil a live Lobster...at that point all my wolfgang Puck dreams of feeding (and hobnobbing) with celebrities ended. Needless to say, I am not a chef...however, I have yet to poison anyone with my cooking.
*I love, love, LOVE southern cooking...bring on the fried okra, mac n cheese (ooey gooey style) and chicken and waffles!!!! I will stop whatever I am doing for some good southern food.
*I worship at the alter of SPAM (philc knows that all too well)
*I know how to triple park without being ticketed (but then most who've lived in SFO do, so I guess that's not so special).
*For milestone birthdays I treat family and friends to piercings and/or tattooes...and once my treatments are done my mom and sis will join me in marking this milestone/accomplishment with a tattoo...but my mom will try to chicken out.
*I don't drink sodas, but am madly addicted to Limeade.
*I am a mutt...but mostly an Italian/German mutt with all kinds of other things thrown in to help balance my sense of guilt
*JLo ain't got NUTHIN on my backside...I am the queen of booty...even at my most stick figure-ish (pre-kids) I had booty and boobs...why do you think my husband asked me out???
*I hate Disneyland and other amusement parks, but adore zoo's and aquariums
*I love B-Movies...LOVE
*when it comes to the 1980's...I am the queen...I still have ALL my Duran Duran posters and memorabilia
*Barry Manilow is God, I have seen him 3 times and refuse to die until he has called me on stage to duet with him...and yes, I daily practice singing "Can't Smile Without You" in the event that that moment happens. Although, when it does, I am pretty sure I'll piss all over myself as I get onto the stage...all while giggling in a scary stalker manner.


***More to come, but I am tired...goodnight
