I noticed she hasn't posted since 11/24. I assume she's ok, since I've seen her on AIM a couple times, but I just don't know. But this post will bump the thread to the top, so it's not a total loss....

Yeah, right, Mr. Advanced Reader. I can't even feign sympathy for you.

Can we just turn this into a party thread until she posts? (The purpose being to keep it up. Of course.) *looks unreliable*

I danced with 4 somebodies today (Dance final...I'm popular )

I danced with my 8-month-old. So did my husband. It's one of the few things that calms her when she's fussy.
Have to watch out for that vomit, though.

Oh, I'll tell you something, I think you'll understand. When I'll say that something I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand.
Oh please, say to me You'll let me be your man And please, say to me You'll let me hold your hand. Now let me hold your hand, I want to hold your hand.
And when I touch you I'll feel happy inside. It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.
Yeah, you've got that something, I think you'll understand. When I'll say that something I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand.
And when I touch you I feel happy inside. It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.

Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :
Dances around, then takes the mic and sings :
"Haven't we met You're some kind of beautiful stranger You could be good for me I've had the taste for danger
If I'm smart then I'll run away But I'm not so I guess I'll stay Heaven forbid I'll take my chance on a beautiful stranger
I looked into your eyes And my world came tumbling down You're the devil in disguise That's why I'm singing this song
To know you is to love you You're everywhere I go And everybody knows
To love you is to be part of you I've paid for you with tears And swallowed all my pride
Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum Beautiful stranger Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum Beautiful stranger
If I'm smart then I'll run away But I'm not so I guess I'll stay Haven't you heard I fell in love with a beautiful stranger
I looked into your face My heart was dancing all over the place I'd like to change my point of view If I could just forget about you
I looked into your eyes And my world came tumbling down You're the devil in disguise That's why I'm singing this song to you
I've paid for you with tears And swallowed all my pride"

Down, down, down, down gravity
Helpin' wash the dishes And I drop a cup. Why does everything fall down Instead of up? Ridin' up a hill I spill And hit the ground. Wish I could fall up instead of always falling down.
Down, de-down, down, down.
I'm a victim of gravity. Everything keeps fallin' down on me. No matter where I go That force is there I know, Just pullin' me down, down, down, down, down. It's all around town now, It's like a magnet deep inside the ground. When I lift something up, I can feel it pulling down.
It pulls me in the pool, It pulls rain down on me. I'm a victim of Down, down, down, down, gravity, yeah.
Galileo, Galileo, Galilei - He did experiments with a force he couldn't see. (Could not see, yeah.) He found that all things fall to earth at the very same speed (Very same speed, yeah.)
He didn't know it yet, but htat was due to gravity. The moon goes 'round the earth And shines its silver light. The earth goes 'round the earth And shines its silver light. The earth goes 'round the sun And makes the seasons right. It isn't love that makes the world go 'round, you see, It's the power of gravity, But please don't tell Mary Jean. Down, de-down, down, down.
Without earth's gravity To keep us in our place, We'd have no weight at all, We'd be in outer space. The sea would float away, And so would fields and towns, Nothin' pullin' us down, down, down, down, down, yeah.
Isaac Newton underneath the apple tree. (Apple tree, yeah) One hit him on the head, He said, "That must be gravity."
Newton's law of gravity says that every object in the universe pulls on every other object. The bigger the object, the stronger the pull. But the greater the distance between the objects, the weaker the pull becomes.
Come back, Mary Jean!
Don't call me clumsy, Don't call me a fool. When things fall down on me, I'm following the rule; The rule that says that what goes up, comes down, like me, I'm a victim of down, down, down, down gravity.
Shoo-be doo, down, down, down.

*takes mic* But seriously folks, I had a great time in highschool. Had a great school. We had a good football team, too. What made it even better was the fact that I was CAPTAIN of the football team. Of course, I was in homeschool during high school, so I was also captain of the cheerleading squad. I'll tell ya, we had some REAL schizophrenic pep rallys.

I'll read for you (grin)
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
*sings*
Who knows how long I've loved you? You know I love you still; Will I wait a lonely lifetime? If you want me to, I will.
And if I ever saw you, I didn't catch your name, But it never really mattered I will always feel the same.
Love you forever and forever Love you with all my heart; Love you whenever we're together Love you when we're apart.
And when at last I find you Your song will fill the air. Sing it loud so I can hear you. Make it easy to be near you For (and) the things you do endear you to me, Ah, you know I will.
I wiiiiiiiiiiill.

"Advance reading" makes me think of Dr. Seuss's On Beyond Zebra! -- that one with all the "other" letters of the alphabet -- you know, reading for more adventurous folks Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :

You have all been great to keep this party going!!!
The thing I really need to know is Cochick's real name -- it's for the acknowledgements of Shadow of the Giant. If anybody is absolutely sure they know it, email me Just use the OSC Help Desk button -- it will get to me. Thanks, Kristine Card
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
Bob, I suspect you get asked to do that if you're particularly helpful on the "OSC Need Help On . . ." threads, and not simply as a measure of your Hatrack coolness. At least, that's what I tell my jealous self.
I wonder if one of those threads will ever appear during the summer . . .

Incidentally, Kristine (if you're reading this ) both myself and my fiance read Lovelock for the first time the last week and really enjoyed it.
Now we want the sequel....
Maybe you could pass on the fandom for us.
