i think i upset my friend, by giving my point of view. and while i'm sorry it upset them, i still stand by my thoughts. but it'd be sad to lose a friend over something as silly as that.

I've been shredding paper all day. i'm one of those people paranoid about throwing my bank statements in the trash. so i never did. then a couple years ago our shredder broke. so i just kept the papers until we bought a new one. then i got lazy and stopped shredding. so it was funny to see some of the stuff from a couple years back. i'm almost done too.

Rant, Moan and Rave - 2010 edition
Darn you Lonneheart for stealing the 700th post! And darn you for insulting my way of movement! (and I am not that fat and I've been outside playing tag with people my age on a playground all day)
Darn!!!
ow… never thought I'd feel like I just shot someone in the back with a double barrelled shotgun…. at point blank range.
I've heard that song before. My brother made fun of it when we heard it. However, the song (or what I can remember of it) was a dirty parody with reference to private "happy time" if you know what I mean…
Halfway through the workweek grind. Sometimes all I want to do is take a vacation. I may just do that this summer just to go see the old man and the new house he bought. I hope he checked out the place first. He did say it's a bit of a "fixer upper", but I'm just going to assume the worst anyway.
Wait… toilet tossing as a sport??? I guess I've been watching that Outrageous Behavior show too much and am starting to think that's how mainland U.S. is like… O_O
To HippieVan: …really? Why? In the middle of the street? Umm…well…*facepalm*
Really?
Well I see the metaphor now but still…it just sounds outrageously stupid to me.
Anyone wanna help me with my new comic "Sticks and Thicks". I know this isn't really the page but just asking. I may not end up needing it but recently I don't feel like drawing…reminds me of the Traveling Assist page I should be finishing…
Need some good quotes from communists, socialist, and all around jerks in politics too if you would rather help me there. Sorry that I just advertised.
(I do not believe in these ways but it is the basis of this story)
CAKE is all I've been listening to lately and it's beginning to have an effect on me, I'm becoming really weird. But I love em.
I force choke you at point blank!!! :D
…
*fries the 1337's nuts with the power of the Schwartz!*
Ah… so many old songs that I remember listening to. Some of them were so weird (and not trying to be). In fact sometimes….
o/` I always feel like... somebody's watching me! (and I have no privacy)... o/`
Maybe when Ozone's store opens I'll go visit… I'm sure he's going to have all these items in stock when it finally opens! hehehe….
Well, time to get some rest and play with my dolls again and make sure my door is locked. :)
Yeah.. there are FOUR Youtube links in there… :)
I don't know why, but all of a sudden it feels like somebody just landed a hell of a right hook under my left eye, and my tooth feels all loose. But all I've done today is sit at my desk. I got up to walk down the hall and that's it.
And for the life of me, I cannot figure out what's going on with uploading files. Every time I'm going to upload an image for an item I'm planning on selling ( Unrelated to DD store. Haven't really tried that one yet. ) it refuses telling me I need to fill out the info that's very clearly already been filled out.

Lol, are we having separate conversations or something? I'm fairly certain it's just a song about a guy reminiscing about his childhood days, and his house…in the middle of the street. No metaphor…

Hrm, haven't been able to shake a bad mood the last little while. I think I'm stressed out with the new semester and everything else that's been going on. :(
Maybe when Ozone's store opens I'll go visit… I'm sure he's going to have all these items in stock when it finally opens! hehehe….Exactly what we'll have! O_O
But the print area on the T-shirts isn't that big :(

lba and Hippie re-bad moods/weird feelings-
UGH! Today I woke up with a complete brain fog! I still haven't shaken it, my fingers are all uncoordinated in their tying and I feel all spacey and a little disconnected. I've had some coffee and some sugary jellybeans to kickstart my brain but it's not helping. >_<
I think it's something to do with going back to sleep again after I woke up at 5.30am and then having my alarm shock me awake at 8am- it must have caught me in a deep sleep/dream cycle and I still haven't recovered from that.
I think a lot of crap feelings/moods that afflict you throughout the day or whatever that you don't know the origins of probably have some origin in your sleeping time.
I think it's something to do with going back to sleep again after I woke up at 5.30am and then having my alarm shock me awake at 8am- it must have caught me in a deep sleep/dream cycle and I still haven't recovered from that.It's better to wake up when you're dreaming, though! People who can control their waking time generally wake during the REM sleep occurring most closely with the time they intend to wake. Those who wake at that time have higher spatial skills and alertness upon waking, probably because it's the stage of sleeping in which the brain is most alert.
Also, you're highly likely to remember your dream that way, which is neat. Unless, like me, you dream about work half the time and all those dreams are bad o_o;;
It's better to wake up when you're dreaming, though!Then whichever is the worst part of the cycle, that's the one I must have awakened from. Because I have the opposite of the "higher spatial skills and alertness". :(
Good to know there's a scientific basis to it :)
Dreaming about work is C R A P P Y. -_-
Dreaming about school is CRAPPIER… especially if it's a dream where three different schools you went to blend together to form a nearly nightmarish labyrinth.

Edit: My money's just arrived and the first thing I did was order a new monitor. Well, a new USED monitor, can't really afford an absolutely new one.
Come to think of it, I never did get any new monitor or tv. Perhaps our first tv set, but it was a b^w thing bought before I was born so it wasn't really mine, haha.
Our second tv set was this huuuge russian box (something like 25inch now that I think of it, maybe closer to 30inch if you consider the additional size of the whole box) and I believe it was bought broken and our uncle fixed it.
The next one was a much smaller one, perhaps 21 inch, and it was brought in from germany after someone left it out on the street. That was my last tv, which I got rid of in 2001 after it broke. It also served as a screen for my Amiga…
…which I replaced with a proper computer screen a bit later. It was some really ancient thing for Atari or Commodore (not sure) that happily worked with Amiga. That served me well for ocuple of years until I got rid of it about 2 years ago (sold my Amiga already and it was just sitting there and collecting dust).
My first PC monitor is the one I'm using now (the half-dead Yakumo box) and again, my uncle got it for free as it was broken, fixed it, and sold it to me for something like 10$ I think. That got replaced by another used monitor about 1.5year ago, this time Likom, which worked fine EXCEPT it had the stupid habit of needing at least half hour to warm itself up. WEll, it fried few months ago and I had to return to my old one, which isn't very good for art… and it got worse too.
Now I bought a NEC Multisys FE770 17inch, with a 2 year warranty (pretty long warranty for a used screen) and I'm hoping it'll survive at least those two years.
To Hippievan: WHO, I repeat, WHO, has a motherbugging house in the middle of the motherbugging street?! I don't get it, do you know for certain that those are the real lyrics? The metaphor was that "in the middle of the street" meant that he was just very (goodly) neighborly and popular with people. Or some crap like that.
To Lonneheart: But what you didn't realize is that youtube does not work on the 1337 Master's computer so your pointless videos did no damage to his perfect self. Yes, it is true. The 1337 Master is INVINCIBLE!!! Yay…
The worst dreams are the ones you don't have for I don't dream, I wait.
Unless you count those last ten minutes before I wake up where I think about what I'm gonna say on the duck in an hour.
Winter vacation is up and I'm back in school. This sucks…
Oh and I too feel like shit. But it's more of a "I'm sick" rather than pissed off-*hurls*
I happen to be the contact of people's bad news. Everyone I know off this site likes to tell me when they feel like shit and I have to go and calm them down. It's very stressful and I really wish I could help some of them but I don't know how.

"Middle of the street" simply means in the middle of the… Street. "Street" only really means "road" in America though, you see? Elsewhere is can mean road, OR the street that you live on, like "John Street" for example. If there were 300 houses on "John Street", a house in the middle of that street would be 150 or 149 or something.
Yeah… I like Madness.
Now a song like "Welcome to the House of Fun" IS full of metaphor! Seeing as it's all about coming of age and the awkwardness of buying condoms in the local chemist etc.

I think I'm getting a cold, I'm so full of snot. -_-
And not just from being snooty.
Every once in a while, I'll have a dream that's unbelievably vivid. Normally the colours in my dreams are pretty muted, not any more bright than they'd appear in real life, but one or two things will be incredibly bright and it shocks me out of sleep. The most recent one I remember had a girl's elbow swing by in front of my face ( obviously. ) and it had such a brilliant magenta/hot pink tattoo on it that it woke me up. Weird dream, and I have no clue why that tattoo would be so bright in comparison to the rest of the dream.

If there were 300 houses on "John Street", a house in the middle of that street would be 150 or 149 or something.Depends on the circumstance and how you say it. A phrase like "in the middle of the street" usually means literally in the road, but "midway down the street" would just mean somewhere along the street and not in the road. We treat it the same way but we're more likely to refer to something on the side of the street as being on the "block". Like "halfway down my block there's an asshole with a really mean pit bull who lives behind the lot where we play baseball."

I worked with a guy called Suggs. If thats relevant?

Is the whole "street = road" an American thing? It must be…I would refer to my house as being "in the middle of the street," and can't really see how that would confuse anyone.
But yeah, 1337, make sure you've got your facts straight before you make fun of other people for getting things wrong! That's kinda embarrassing. :/
When I was little I watched an episode of Sesame Street where they explained the difference between "in the middle of the street" as Americans say it and as others think of it. It still continued to baffle me for weeks after-
"They think of a 'street' as the same way we think of 'road'???? WTF?!!
But later on when I first heard the Madness song, for a while I did think it meant a house literally in the middle of a road.
Just like our l33t friend. :)
Like I explained, we use street to mean both. But because we have the word "block" to describe a street as well, we use street much more loosely. It's not nearly as strict an interpretation as you guys think. It can mean literally in the road, or midway down the street. It just depends on the context more for us.
huh, didnt realize street and road were so different in other places.

got back form my first fire fighter 1 class. creep tried to take my text book though! im the only girl in class and the only member of my fire station enrolled in the academy right now, so i hate to pull this, but im sure i'll have to prove myself. but hell, it'll probably make me a better fire fighter.
I keep being the bearer of bad news. I just heard that a relative of mine got caught in a fire when his house burned down. He's right now in emergency care with 3rd degree burns on 30% of his body and has heavily damaged lungs and is being kept in a drug induced coma. Doctors have done everything they can for him and crossing their fingers now. It's not know if he'll make it but he's likely to pull through if he survives the week.
In other news, I just went for my doctors appointment and things are looking good. I'm of the anti-inflammatory drugs and they say I'm actually allowed to work up a sweat now but I can't do cardio type exercises for at least a month.
