Did somebody actually count the ridges?

Wish we had more of those. Maybe the kids wouldn't be so cranky.

And yet, it seems so much longer

Too bad. My favorite color is purple

Interesting

I guess no one went over in barrels that winter.

Don't forget 'radar'. You know that loveable charater from MASH

Unless of course, you're BearFan, where a lot of words end in them. I love when you make up your own words BearFan (i.e. stapparoni - I think that is my favorite)

Wow, that was great BearFan. There is another thread here that Higher Desire (I think) started just recently about useless information. You should put this information there :)

I wish I can/could sleep for three years !!

I've read a lot of those before. But on the 2nd one, I've heard it was 32 muscles in each hair.

Why don't you post these in the useless information thread I started for things like that?


H-D :suave:

Wow that was long but interesting

no betty rubble in the flintstone vitamans well ill be damned

I just saw my school's theatre department's performance of Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry. And MAN. That play is weird!


H-D :suave:

Hey Everyone!

How are ya?
I'm in a crapy mood today! I stayed home from church today cus we didn't get home till late last night and my brother took his password out of the internet server that doesn't get all of the popups and its faster to, so I am on the one that gets a buttload of pop ups and is slow I'm pretty sure he did it cuz I stayed home to :mad:
I am ticked!!!
Plus its that time of the month, so I am even more mad!
But yesterday we went to this camp where a family from our church was staying,I didn't even really want to go in the first place cuz it was raining, but someone said that it wasn't supposed to rain that much longer. Boy Where They Wrong!!!! It ended up raining all dang day So we decide to go for a walk cuz it had stopped for a little bit, but we didn't get far and then it starts pouring, so we get soaked! I was NOT a happy camper! Cuz for several hours yesterday I was sitting in cold wet clothes!
I would have rather came here and chatted with you guys ;)

Hey Julie! :hugs: Sorry you are feeling crappy, it will be better tomorrow. :cool:

Ohhh. :( That sucks, get a hot water bottle and eat some chocolate icecream. Well, that always helps me. ;)

Nooo! I hope you don't get sick! :eek:

Shadow, you're too damn funny!
geez, now that i know someone's paying attention to my words, i'll have to live up to my prior creativiciousness

Crea.....tv....csn......WOH!

And Julie:
CHOCOLATE
And lost of it girl!

And keep everyone the hell away from U. Thats what I try and do. Or I might smack em out, hehe!!!!!

Yes julie i know girl you sound like A lot of my days. girl, Haley Chocolate Ice Cream Really :) i will have to try it next time i turn in to mega bi%*&$ch

Thanks guys :D

I'm gonna go to the gym :)

about to go to lunch...

which I hate going to....

....b/c I have NO ONE to even talk to......


lucky me .....

Awww. :hugs: I know exactly how you feel. I'd go with you if we lived closer together.


H-D :glasses:

yea...


I f***ing hate it .....


I wish that lunch was an option...

like...if you didnt want to go ...you just stayed in the class room doing.....what ever...

I worked out at the gym for an hour today :)

I go physco at almost everything anyone says to me :o :eek:
And yes, chocolate icecream puts me in a better mood...but it has to be real, real rich chocolate icream, and a whole container of it...:laugh: J/k. But it does work for me, taking a bath just makes me madder :rolleyes: It's just something that I love, so you find something that you love and you'll be happy. :D

school starts too early....why does it have to start early ...in the morning ...???!!!
:mad1: :mad1: :mad: :mad:

I had a dream last night that I saw the first Alter Bridge video. And then Mark had a baby girl and guess who was taking care of her - Michael, of course :)

I'm going to the gym soon :D

i'm not sure. it makes no sense how they set it up. younger kids, who go to bed earlier and need less sleep than high schoolers, still start school later (at least in my school disctrict back home), allowing them to get a good 10-11 hours of sleep if their parents make 'em go to bed at the proper time... then you've got high schoolers who go to bed later at night, but have to get up so much earlier. it makes no sense at all. that's what i love about college: next semester my earliest class starts at 9 am, and that meets once a week and it's a PE lecture, so i won't even have to go. rest of the week, it's 10:00!

The high school kids in my neighborhood get on the bus at 6:50 every morning. I think that is extremely early - but they are home by 2:00. The smaller kids get on the bus at 8:40 and don't get home until 3:45.

yeah, Shadow, that sounds about like when i had to ride the bus in high school (fr and soph years). it was a bitch. granted, for marching band, we had rehearsal beginning @ 6:35 every morning from the 2nd day of school all the way through about early november, so i sometimes ended up getting up as early as 5:30... thank god those days are over. in my district, i think the elementary schools get out around 3 or 3:15 (high school was out @ 2:30).

I know, I am defenitly NOT a morning person, and when I have to get up at 6:50am every morning, well. :mad1: Nah just kidding, i'm not bitchy when I get up but I just hate mornings when you have to get up early.

My school starts at 8:40am every morning, and finishes at 3:15pm every afternoon, I get home at about 4:00pm. School sucks, such a waste of a day :laugh:

tsk tsk school is fun!

Good News: I got my tax refund in the mail today. 62 whole dollars! Woo!

Bad News: My left nut hurts.


H-D :dorky:

Yeah because I get to see my friends, but apart from that school stinks. :laugh: Oh well I only have to wait until the end of this year then i'm leaving. :thumbsup: Nah school isn't that bad really, I just think it's getting boring, I want to do my course.

Holy hell, what happened? :eek:

That sucks. It's almost like during that certian week people seem to annoy me the most!!! :rolleyes: If it's possible, I just try to get away from people, read a book, or something so I don't gripe at them as much. And then, sometimes it's kinda fun to gripe at them, just when they make ya mad, then it takes the pressure off your mind, then I feel better!

Hey girls
 

we need to start a thread like today I stared my period and remind each other of when we start and finsh :D And call it I LOVE MY PERIOD THREAD!!! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: And bitch all about to each other :D what do you think

Don't mess with me, I have cramps ;)

:mad1: they suck and those pad things you put on your tummy dont work :mad1: i like a warm hair dryer on mine awww comfey :)

I don't know. I think I sat wrong or something.


H-D :)

wow creedsis... that might be one thread guys on here might never go on

Uhh. No. Please don't. :wtf:

Yeah. I really didn't need to know that.

That's what we call TOO MUCH INFORMATION!


H-D :)

What pad things that you put on your tummy? :confused:
I LOVE a hot water bottle, it works for me if I leave it there all day. :D

Really? Your balls must be (forgive me) Huge then :eek: How can you sit wrong and then get a sore ball? I'm so glad I'm not a guy.

You think talking about cramps is bad? Wait until you move in with a woman, be prepared to protect yourself every month.

Hahaha your right girl but a least we only get like that one time a month, Guys suffer From it !2 months a year HAHAHAHA

:confused: I don't get it....2 months a year? :help: I'm dumb :laugh:

Once a month, yeah at least we don't have it all the time, but the time goes so fast :eek:

;) Sometimes they bang against each other or get squashed between your legs if you're not careful. They're actually kind of inconvenient.

Yeah. I think I'm quite a long ways from there.


H-D :suave:

Why did God give women yeast infections? So they know what it's like to live w/ an annoying cunt every once in a while!
