Will any of my online friends know if something's happened to me?

these thoughts are inspired by this thread..

will any of the ethereal Net friends I've made..
know if something awful has happened to me?
that is, will they know if I'm unable to post / IM on it?
I'm sure that if they don't see me on in a while..
they MIGHT ask other people, but probably not..

of course, if they don't ever see me again..
and nobody knows what's happened to me..
then they're free to assume the absolute worst..
(knowing SOME people, they'll do it long before then..
and some other people would just forget about me!)

not that I foresee things happening to me..
but you just never know about life's vagaries..
certain MBs I'm on are interconnected..
but then there's one that has no links..
so even IF something were to happen..
they wouldn't know, and I'd want them to!

eh, this is all pointless rambling from me..
but at least this isn't my "life shopping list" ;)

Spoz says I don't need my brain...

Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
no.. you don't need your brain.
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
really.. it just gets in the way..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
(especially on weekends..)
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
keep the brain during office hours..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
but.. relinquish your grasp on it... after then..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
really, it sorta gets in the way..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
dude.. I'm eating pizza! :P but thanks for the advice (Y)
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
(Y)
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
I mean.. brain is good..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
it is VERY good..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
trust me..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
I've had fun with it..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
I like people to believe.. I'm a low intelligent goofball.
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
whilst.. hiding my REAL intellect.. and pulling surprises on 'em..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
but..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
really..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
when it comes to some (a lot) of situations...
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
too much brain, is damaging..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
brain works best in leisure.. on a casual consultancy basis...
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
or.. during actual proper work...
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
instincts are highly underrated.
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
they'll do well.. in a LOT of situations..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
and yes... I AM kinda drunk ;)
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
(about 8 beers.. I think..)
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
so.. my brain ain't workin'..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
if it wuz..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
it'd agree..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
(it likes to take a holiday once in a while..)
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
while I've got your attention.. just how exactly is my blog a "shopping list" of my life?
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
hahhahahahaha
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
you asked that last night..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
before my net connection blew up..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
yeah, but you never answered!
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
um..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
it IS..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
ah, that explains it
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
coz..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
basically.
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
lemme just give you a basic strategy for blogs..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
well.. at least, wot I've seen has worked..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
the blog.. is not a minutia on your life..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
it's not..

TODAY - I did blah blah blah.. then blah blah blah...
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
a lot of life.. is meaningless.. bollocks..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
wot people like to read..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
are the weird moments..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
the unique moments..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
the personality moments..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
they don't care if you went shopping.. and bought 16 pens, a roll of stickey tape.. and some birthday cards..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
they do care.. if you have an opinion on how stupid it all is..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
it's about unique moments you wanna share..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
not.. y'know.. EVERYTHING in your life..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
basically.. I only try and write about.. unique and quirky moments..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
things people will find of interest..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
guess.. you might have a different strategy..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
perhaps.. you just want an exacting record of your life..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
all the details..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
I dunno..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
for me , it's both details and interest.. go look now.. yesterday, I included no "boring rundown of life" :P
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
did you get the MTV Music Awards last night?
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
heard about it..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
about the whole Madonna / Britney thing ;)
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
but..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
well..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
I don't have cable tv..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
(they probably showed it on that..)
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
on normal "free-to-air" tv..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
they'll likely be slack bastards..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
and show it 6 months down the track..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
yeah, I didn't watch it myself (and I DO have cable :P ).. but a friend of mine said that Madonna gets grosser and grosser with each passing year..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
and on the "free-to air" TV, they might censor that scene too.. you never know
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
no... they wont..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
they're really loose about censorship here now..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
you can sprinkle the "F" word happily after 8:30PM..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
you could use the "C" word happily after 9:30PM..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
ha, well.. they didn't censor The Osbournes here.. then again, that aired at 10 PM.. and you can see (almost?) everything on TV here now if you choose to..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
well.. see, there ya go..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
plus.. I'm thinkin.. when they DO finally show the awards on tv..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
the whole "Madonna" thing will be the selling point..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
I mean... fuckit.. if they can show Homer Simpson.. accidently being kissed by a gay guy on tv.. at 8PM..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
they can show anything...
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
and that's why I like tv now.
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
take the breaks off..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
no commercials, eh?
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
no..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
NOT THOSE BREAKS :P
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
as in.. metaphoric car breaks..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
car breaks? what the heck are those..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
ok..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
as in "take the breaks off"..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
no idiot 50's value restrictions on tv..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
I mean.. I don't want idiot lowest common denominator tv..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
I want quality tv..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
but.. I don't want any "breaks".. limiting my tv..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
I wont my tv without compromise..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
ah, you don't want barriers and limitations :P
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
I get it now :P using slightly different terminology, of course..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
yeah.....
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
now your brain is finally catchin' up..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
sheesh...
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
I've had 8-9 beers..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
and YOU'RE SLOWER?
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
hey, when I hear "breaks" in a TV context.. I think "commercial breaks".. so sue me :P
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
OK.. I WILL..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
(hahahhahaa.. no, just j/k..)
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
(I got a potential lawyer..)
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
(but.. she's nowhere near her bar exam yet..)
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
ah, I see..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
besides, I got up barely an hour ago.. so gimme a break ( :P ) ;)
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
HAHAHHAHAHHAA
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
I think you may have to watch out in the next week or so.. ;)
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
wuh?
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
:|
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
you'll be seeing a lot more of me on ICQ..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
errr....
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
(mental note: shift her into my "ignore list".. HAHAHAHAHHHHHA.. j/k...)
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
you know what? we need rain!
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
have some of ours!
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
(been having 100s of fires over here..)
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
we don't need it!
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
okay.. how are we going to transport all the rain, then?
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
um..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
it all involves..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
um..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
pack donkeys...
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
yeah..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
that'd work...
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
and...
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
um..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
windmills..
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
powered by cooking oil...
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
yup...
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
that's a solid plan...
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
hmm.. eh, why not..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
hey, have you ever heard of Text Twist?
Spoz (smashing my head up against the wall, world ruled by chimps only 3ft tall) says:
no..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
it's this cool game..
I don't need my brain.. do I? says:
(and I know why I was getting confused earlier.. you misspelled the word "brake" :P)

MSN Upgrades... can't do them, service staff!

note to .NET Messenger Service Staff:

I don't NEED a message from you whenever I sign in..
especially not one saying I need to upgrade!
yes, there are security issues with my MSN version..
however, I've already tried going to the link provided..
and after what seems like endless hours spent waiting..
it turns out I can't do any upgrades at all..
(it seems I don't have the required components..
which is frankly not a very huge surprise to me)
so please take that into account; if I could, I would..
(man, I'm SO glad I'll be at Jon's for the next 10 days..
I'll probably get those messages when I return, though..
not too much to do about it, unless it'll let me upgrade!)


Here are some quizzes:


Hey... uhh, you're Ross Gellar. You love being intellectual, and working at the museum. Maybe someday, things will work out with you and Rachel. Until then, keep digging.


Which Friends Character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

HA! I guessed right on the last question! Go, me! :D



You're Patrick!


Which Spongebob character?
brought to you by Quizilla

This is what that says:

What's that on your shirt? Woop! Okay, so maybe you're not THAT dumb to fall for that trick, especially when you're not even wearing a shirt. But, let's face it: you are pretty slow and some of the things you say can be considered "out there," but that's what keeps your friends close by. Everyone has a stupid side, yours is just more dominant. =D

Yay for small unreadable fonts.... not. :P


You are Daria... laid back in black... smart and sarcastic.

Spam email from celebrities

note to Jennifer Lopez, Harry Potter, et al.:

STOP SENDING ME EMAIL, DAMMIT!
(or at least, get your people to stop it)
I'm not that great a fan of the Harry Potter series..
and do I *care* about J. Lo's engagement ring? NO!
(especially if it's the one Ben Affleck gave her)

there.. I've registered my vehement protest..
those spam emails should stop right now!

Pens as penis / Spoz convos: I am NOT a "journal spammer"..

this could be a sign that I should go to bed..
I just misread "pens" as "penis"..
(damn you, John! :P thinking it's priceless..)
no, I do NOT have a dirty mind at all..
I'm not responsible for my random thoughts..
(if I were, that would be very scary!)
the discussion was about certain things, anyhow ;)
(not sure I'd elaborate if asked, mmmkay?)
at any rate, I'm most definitely sleeping now!

Buying up office supplies and such...

I went out just now to clear my own head..
and when I go out, I invariably spend money..
(it's bad, I know.. but there IS a link between the two)
bought highlighters, pens, root beer, whiteout..
clear tape (I like it better than invisible tape), and BBT..
definitely was worth it even if it did cost a lot of cash..


so what exactly did I buy? (like you care, hehehe)

20 Avery highlighters (with four to be given to the kids.. I don't like yellow highlighters for some reason, go figure)
36 PaperMate pens (with a medium point and blue ink)
24 bottles of whiteout (with 2 bonus whiteout pens to be given to the kids.. I don't like those things, either)
25 boxes of clear tape (8 were the wrong dimension for me, which I didn't find out till I got home.. those will be for the kids; I'm picky, so go figure THAT one out if you can ;) )
one can of Barq's root beer
a green milk tea BBT


even though I don't use the office supplies for school..
I still use them at home.. y'know what I mean? ;)
heck, I even say they're for school use when I buy 'em..
it saves me some tax money, and that's good ;)

for those of you wondering why I don't return some stuff..
(especially when I'm just going to give it away to the kids)
the whiteout pens were included as a bonus with the bottles..
I'm too lazy to do a return on the 8 boxes of tape..
(I figure the kids will always find a use for it, anyhow)
and there were no highlighter 4-packs without a yellow pen..
(though they included a muted red bonus sparkly highlighter..
to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of Avery Highlighters)

at least I'm sorta cheered up now..
so go on and try your worst!
(or buzz me, I should be in good humor)

Blogspot being down, and a bad mood

okay, this officially sucks big-time..
Blogspot is down, so I can't read any blogs..
(heck, not even my own.. now that's pretty bad!)
a connection to the server can't be established.. damn!
Blogger seems to be running slow today, too..
at least I'll triumph over its pissiness by posting ;)

my mood isn't exactly the best today, either..
I know I can be annoying and a bother to people..
and I could be considered inferior intellectually..
but don't you dare call me a liar, even in fun..
because I will not take it in a humorous light... got it?
who knows, maybe I'm just having a bad day now..
not that I want to feel superior all the time, but still..
ah well, maybe I'll take a break from my own head ;)

in addition to all of that, the Internet's being slow..
as in, it's slower than is usual for this old thing..
no, I don't think I've been hit with any viruses..
although I will definitely turn this off when I leave later..
besides, how can you tell if you've been hit with one?
(yes, I am a complete and utter ignoramus.. kill me now)

I'd better be cheered up later on by somebody / something!
or else you are ALL going to pay the ultimate price..
BLAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! fear me now! :P

Eric H. and boring family dinners

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELAINE.. I hope you have a good one today! :) It's been great knowing you for all these years, Bet. ;)

just finished talking to Eric H. on MSN..
I think we can discuss a bunch of things..
it helps that we actually know each other ;)
our convos can be funny and serious..
turns out he was at a boring family dinner last night..
says he should have told me earlier, but it's OK..
it's not like I'd defenestrate him while being facinorous ;)
we had fun figuring out ways to shorten those dinners ;)
(most involving a pointed reference to time and tiredness)

when he read about the fortune-telling card game..
he said that he WANTED to play.. oh my..
probably next time we all get together, we will..
we have to get people who haven't played, after all..
increases the evil fun factor by quite a bit ;)

My Top 5 High-Rotation CDs

My Top 5 High-Rotation CDs

(idea stolen from both Spoz and Stuckey.. hahaha!)

1. Matthew Good Band -- The Audio of Being
2. New Order -- The Best of New Order
3. the Clash -- Clash on Broadway (3-CD box set)
4. Collective Soul -- Collective Soul
5. Radiohead -- OK Computer

they bring back memories, and are fun to rock out to..
they help me cope with certain emotions..
I usually spin these in my PC at least once a week..
heck, what is there not to like about this list? ;)


hey, there are repeating numbers in my post time!
I think I really like the "2:34:34" thing that's going on..
just as long as it isn't all made up of the number 4 ;)

My whole family doesn't live here!

Nathan, Adela, Jon, Eunice, and Eddie showed up..
we had lots of fun discussing various topics:
cutting chicken; pizza; our Safeway meal; poo..
ordering poo on pizza, weird food combinations..
cheese, knowingly stepping in poo-filled shoes..
whether Americans had ketchup-flavored chips..
(apparently not, but they're good.. NOT disgusting!)
my pooping pig, weird books, and habanero chips..
what we did today and were doing on the weekend..
funny stories.. (Uncle Peter isn't a pastor, Adela!)
Adela thinking that my whole family lived here.. (no!)
Eddie trying to check his mail coz his comp crashed..
(he couldn't, since my computer performed illegal operations when he tried to access Hotmail; oh well..)
Jon trying to check the baseball scores on the Net..
my Net connection being slow in general..

we played Eunice's fortune-telling card game..
convinced Jon to play because he HAD to..
got Eddie and Adela to play, as well..
most of us ended up with the people we disliked..
except Nathan (Zhang Ziyi) and Adela (Clement)..
that was a very fun time had by all..

Adela's unique question was, "Who will stay with me even if I lose an arm and two legs?"
Jon had all these musical questions, and dismissed the real questions as "Nathan questions"..
(although his were typical wacky humor, such as "Who will put up with my chest chops, even if they're girls?")

they even helped me clean up afterwards..
instead of leaving me to do all the dishes..
Nathan is truly a "gwei jie".. ("good boy")
hey, more people than last time is a good thing..
but certain people never come to my get-togethers!

I just got emails about my party from Anita and Irene..
(right after everyone left my place, too.. cheh! ;) )
Irene says she just realized tonight was the party night..
she's sorry she didn't reply earlier.. (yes, very atrocious)
she hopes that we had a good time.. (we certainly did!)
also thanked me for the invite.. (well, she better ;) )
Anita said she wouldn't be able to make it..
I'd think that much was pretty obvious by now..
she also thanked me for the invite and hopes we had fun..
eh well.. what can you do with the people who won't come?
nothing much, I suppose.. but at least WE had fun ;)

Weird near-typos mean it's time to sleep!

nothing much is really going on today..
I have people coming over later tonight..
but I also feel sleepy and in need of a nap..
(almost managed to spell "sleepy" in a weird way..
when I have weird [near-] typos, it's time to sleep!)
my brain's not working too well right now, either..
eh, maybe I'll sleep a little bit and hopefully be awake..
and I'll actually turn the phone ON, too ;)

Spoz convos: Name suggestions..

there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
okay, I've freaked out both my brother and my sister with this name.. any suggestions?
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
um...
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
"mmmmm.. my amputated arm tastes like bacon!"
there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
haha.. got any more?
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
um..
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
"yay! stillborn pig foetus!!"
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
"does this look infected to you?"
there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
ew, no.. sounds too much like what'll be in the paper tomorrow..
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
"I ate my siamese twin.. burp..."
there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
nice reference to some band's album with the "does this look infected to you?" bit.. and eating your siamese twin could work..
there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
BUT if you actually did that, you could die as well..
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
no idea about the album title reference..
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
not necessarily..
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
if it wuzn't sharing too many vital organs..
there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
true, true.. I know that..
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
yeah.. YOU SHOULD!!!
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
coz.. y'know.. twin freak ;)
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
"squirrels ate my genitals.. mistook them for nuts"...
there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
hey, I *did* say that you COULD die.. meaning you wouldn't necessarily :P
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
meh...
there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
that only works if you're a guy :P
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
not necessarily..
there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
okay.. I'll take your word on that one..
there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
by the way, that album title reference I caught? it was to Sum 41's album of the same title (ie. Does This Look Infected?)
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
aaah.. yeah, it did seem oddly familiar..
there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
I thought it was Sum 41 (them being Canadian and all ;) ), but had to make sure..
there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
it's the detail maniac in me, y'know ;)
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
believe me.. I KNOW :P
there's no party like an underwear party ;) says:
okay.. I'm off to change my name.. should be back though

Stickers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KEVIN.. I hope you have a good one today! :) It's been cool getting to know you.

stickers are so cheerfully distracting..
I just went to the mall and bought $26 worth..
a few of the packages are intended as gifts..
most of them are for my personal use..
but I might still give them to kids if they ask! ;)

I've always liked stickers for their variety of designs..
they're so colorful, and there are always new types..
I remember once buying 15,000 mini-stickers..
told someone to guess how many I'd bought..
he said "50,000 + 1" was "CLOSE ENOUGH! :P"
I'm still not done with those mini-stickers yet..
(despite mailing some of them off to my Stateside friends..)
but it's all good.. I'm not surprised they lasted this long..

(by the way, I also had a Strawberry Cheesequake..
it's one of those Dairy Queen Blizzards.. very good stuff!)

Thoughts inside my head..

Disclaimer: This is not meant to be a "comment on everything I write, and only say nice things to me.. or ELSE!" entry. These are just my thoughts, no matter how unfounded they may prove to be once I'm distracted enough.

Damn. I'm tired, sore, and perhaps a little cranky. No idea why, but maybe I still need more sleep despite getting up an hour ago.

Maybe I've been thinking too much about certain people who never seem to talk to me anymore. ("anymore" meaning in the last few months) I message them when they're on, and they don't answer me back) Probably it's best just to let them go, and perform a massive purge. I can't help but think of them sometimes, though.

Eh, perhaps I am annoying in a way. Heck, why else would people not befriend me back / comment on what I write? (not just in LJ, yo!) I'd like to think I'm fairly easy to get along with, and have good qualities. In my more rational times, I know people are busy / have other things on the go / whatever reason that makes sense. Ah well.. I just exist as a faceless screen name to most people online. Sometimes I like it that way; other times, I don't. (in case you can't tell, this is one of the ambiguous times)

My mantra for these times should be "The Internet is a drama-free zone," as per Spoz. Of course, it's not necessarily this way.. to name only one thing, there ARE those Internet relationships (in every sense of the word) that crop up! I'm not putting those down; not the romantic ones, and certainly not the platonic ones.. I don't have any of the former, and a scant few of the latter. I'm just feeling a little irritated today.

Hmm.. maybe I'll go find what Spoz wrote about the Net being a drama-free zone, just to remind myself of it. Then perhaps I'll clean up and go shopping.. something I need to do anyways, to prepare for tomorrow night. Those will probably cheer me up at least temporarily. (to be honest, the shopping will have more a chance of doing that than the cleaning shall.... eh well)

Spoz Convos: I need geography lessons :P

Miss Mystique says:
you're not by any chance on the east coast, are you?
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
no..
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
more.. in the middle..
Miss Mystique says:
all right.. heard they had fires, and now storms
Miss Mystique says:
so what's up?
Miss Mystique says:
did you hear about the woman who woke up to strange noises and found a man taking a bubble bath in her bathroom?
Miss Mystique says:
you have a CD of your live gig at the Barron Townhouse?! (been reading Stuckey's blog.. yes, again :P)
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
wot's up?
busy organising gigs..
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
so.. brb..
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
but yes.. recorded it..
Spoz (supreme being of da head tweakin' sound science) says:
(hectic around here at the moment.. eeeee!)
Miss Mystique says:
ah, I see.. no prob then..

Cordia isn't Citrus' COUSIN!

okay, here they are..
you've been waiting for them..
lucky I actually made a record this week ;)


HILARIOUS QUOTES OF THE WEEK (2)

"D and D? They'll all think of Dungeons and Dragons!" -- Lily, trying to figure out a catchy name for an upcoming Fellowship program to get people to come out on Fridays. (Tuesday, Aug. 19) [we decided that "D and D" would stand for "Dessert and Discussion," since food always draws people in]

"SEVEN times a WEEK?" -- my mom, mishearing Jon's remark to me and Steph that he'd teach Erin guitar at a set time each week. (Wednesday, Aug. 20) [um, no.. that would be quite intensive, to say the least :P]


church was quite good today..
Danielle told me that she was hungry after service..
(she'd had a very small breakfast this morning)
I then told Citrus to get her some food..
everyone then went to the 7-11..
later, I told Danielle about Nathan's gaffe last summer..
"bad Nathan" is just about right!

(a bunch of us were at Hannah's farewell party..
we were looking at Citrus' family vacation photo album..
Nathan asked him: "Isn't Cordia your cousin?!"
everyone laughed at that, since she's his sister..
Erin said: "Even *I* know my people better than you!"
and she'd been away for three years at school, too..)

talked to a bunch of my good friends, as usual..
seems that people will all be dropping by later on Tuesday..
Lauren's computer got hit with that virus that's going around..
Cindy and Dianne say 7-11 Taquitos are pretty good and spicy..
(I'm going to have to try those sometime.. tomorrow, maybe?)
we all said goodbye to Clement and Becky..
everyone hugged Dennis goodbye, too..
(he's off to New Brunswick for his master's degree..
won't see him for a couple of years, except maybe holidays)
I spent time with the babies and little kids, as well..
apparently, Hien only wants Excel lemon ice gum..
she'll have to be happy with Clorets and other Excel flavors..

I also decided to call Yazmine from church to ask her stuff..
it turns out she was waiting at another gate altogether..
she claimed not to remember that I told her "the main gate"..
yes, even though I had called her earlier that morning to tell her..
oh well, at least she says she's not mad at me or anything..
but Eric and I are more dedicated to waiting around ;)
(she waited only 15 minutes for us; we waited 1.5 hours for her)

No real bollocks yet?!

hmm, no real bollocks yet.. (I *am* surprised!)
of course, stuff could happen later on..
I certainly hope not, though!
word is my brother will be joining us for lunch..
that'll perhaps be a good distraction..
next Sunday morning will be with the parents, too..
their flight to the Maritimes doesn't leave till 4 PM..
hopefully, they get down to the airport early..
even if they do go to church and all of that jazz ;)

Indoctrinating Spoz with tests, hahaha / More Spoz talk (on ICQ, even).. woohoo!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CARLTON.. I hope you have an awesome one today! :) Being around you was always interesting.

I'm getting someone to try various tests..
always a good thing to indoctrinate people ;)
I'll have to be in the car alone with my parents tomorrow..
hope I can survive it relatively intact..
if not, there'll always be distraction.. and clean-up time ;)
oh yes, and I did find the link for Hollow by myself :P


Hamsterette (11:44 PM) :
nevermind, I found the link ;)
Spoz (11:44 PM) :
wuh?
Spoz (11:44 PM) :
I get this message.. out've nowhere..

"nevermind, I found the link ;)"
Spoz (11:44 PM) :
wot's up with that!!??
(did ya send it to the wrong person.. ;) )
Hamsterette (11:45 PM) :
uh.. didn't you get that message I sent you at 1:37 PM?
Spoz (11:46 PM) :
the last message I got.. wuz about a "bubble tea" website.. you sent the address.. and that wuz back on the 17th of August..
Hamsterette (11:46 PM) :
oh, you didn't get that other one? very odd..
Hamsterette (11:47 PM) :
I was asking about the link to that "new" song of yours: Hollow
Spoz (11:47 PM) :
that would probably help to explain the message fragment out've nowhere..
Spoz (11:47 PM) :
although. you're rather famous.. for half hangin' message fragments.. :-P
Hamsterette (11:48 PM) :
yes, it would.. but I did find it eventually this afternoon.. and I am SO not! ;)
Spoz (11:48 PM) :
but you do it all the time :-P
Hamsterette (11:49 PM) :
that's what YOU think :P
Spoz (11:49 PM) :
it IS!
Hamsterette (11:50 PM) :
yes, I know it is.. and you know it is.. now we've figured that out, what next?
Spoz (11:50 PM) :
um.. fuck knows?
Hamsterette (11:51 PM) :
me neither.. did I tell you about those funky quizzes I found last weekend? (not the bubble tea quiz)
Spoz (11:53 PM) :
um.. dunno..
Hamsterette (11:53 PM) :
hmm.. let me hunt them up, then..
Hamsterette (0:00 AM) :
hmm.. best bet would be to look at this
Spoz (0:00 AM) :
(hahahahha.. you and your journal promotions.. ;) )
Hamsterette (0:01 AM) :
the last time I mentioned that to you was in October :P
Spoz (0:02 AM) :
hehehehehe ----> "You're an ANNOYING AIM-ER! Shut up already!"
(sounds about accurate.. BLAHAHAHHAHAHA)
Hamsterette (0:03 AM) :
um.. thanks.....
Spoz (0:03 AM) :
yer welcome..
Hamsterette (0:03 AM) :
see what it says about you.. substitute ICQ / MSN for AIM..
Spoz (0:03 AM) :
and.. how could you be "lazy" and listening to "Subwoofer - Screaming Dementia"..

coz.. that's one SCARY combination there..
Hamsterette (0:05 AM) :
heh.. well, what would be a better one?
Spoz (0:08 AM) :
well.. Narcolepsy would work for a lazy mood..
Spoz (0:08 AM) :
Screaming Dementia..
is just a tad too nutty.. ;)
Spoz (0:09 AM) :
ok.. here's me ---> "You're an INDIFFERENT AIM-ER. Meh."
Hamsterette (0:09 AM) :
that's what I was thinking.. but I wasn't listening to Narcolepsy at the time..
Hamsterette (0:09 AM) :
indifferent.. hmm.. eh, sounds about right ;)
Spoz (0:10 AM) :
YUP!
Spoz (0:10 AM) :
THATS ME :)
Hamsterette (0:11 AM) :
you'll probably get a kick out of the name generators.. especially the Smurf one..
Spoz (0:12 AM) :
trying the personality test thingy..
Spoz (0:13 AM) :
wot the fuck?
"Aesthete"
Spoz (0:13 AM) :
(then again.. the test wuz too oriented towards females.. so, it wuz a little skewed..)
Hamsterette (0:14 AM) :
yeah, that much is true.. I got the same thing.. dunno what that says..
Hamsterette (0:14 AM) :
read blog now.. gotta keep updated on stuff ;)
Spoz (0:15 AM) :
SEE.. I TOLD YA!!
YOU ADVERTISE YA JOURNAL STUFF AAAALL THE TIME :-P
Spoz (0:16 AM) :
hmmm.. deepest secret.. (hehehhe) ---> "YOU LIVE IN A WALMART BAG!!!"
Hamsterette (0:17 AM) :
JOURNAL STUFF IS NOT BLOG.. :P
Hamsterette (0:17 AM) :
don't know if you'd fit in one, though ;)
Spoz (0:18 AM) :
IT IS!! it's a "web log".. hence.. JOURNAL :-P
Spoz (0:18 AM) :
hmmm.. and apparently, my drink is a "black velvet".. hmmmmm
Hamsterette (0:19 AM) :
never had one meself..
Spoz (0:20 AM) :
me neither.. it wuz me quiz answer..
Hamsterette (0:21 AM) :
yeah, I knew THAT much :P
Spoz (0:27 AM) :
hmmm.. my super power "breathing under water"..
not the most conclusive answer.. considering the vague questions..
Hamsterette (0:28 AM) :
yeah, those questions were really vague..
Hamsterette (0:37 AM) :
all right, out of here.. must sleep.. (went to bed at 4:30 AM yesterday..)
Spoz (0:38 AM) :
heheheeheeh
Spoz (0:38 AM) :
L8rzzzzzzzzz
Hamsterette (0:38 AM) :
NOT my usual bedtime, as I'm sure you know ;)
Hamsterette (0:38 AM) :
see ya

Always cool talking to that dude. :) Maybe it'll cheer me up sufficiently for tomorrow.. being alone in the car with my parents for the first week of many. Aiya.. it almost scares me just thinking about it.
