I like this thread, and I don't want to see it die, just because it's huge. I don't have anywhere else to go and say random things. In my world, everything I say has to mean something. This is extremely cathartic. Melanie

Besides if it gets to forty pages it may cause hatrack to burst...as it won't fit on the listing page.

I just peeked over at the other forum--the one about all things OSC, and the biggest thread I saw there was 67 pages, and nothing exploded, so I think we're all safe.
So, if you could all stop worrying about the fate of the internet and get back to being random, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Melanie

Compared with some of the spam threads I've seen on certain anime boards this thread is doing rather poorly. Forward, then!

Of all the birds up in the sky I'd rather be a duck. So I could fly along the beach and watch the people... play volleyball.

The longest thread I remember from my fanfic forum days was one where we all posted parts of a lengthy poem, with lines that ended in "-ain" or some soundalike equivalent. (In those days, it was one of those fora that let you post a new title with each and every post.) I don't remember how many lines we had, but it went on for months and months---there are a lot of "-ain" words.

My neighbors set off firecrackers on the Fourth...it was easy to deal with this year, 'cause right now I get up before the sun goes down (alas!) and am up and out while it's going on.
Harder to take are his raucous New Year's parties...I've got a rare day off, and am trying to sleep at night for a refreshing change...they're yelling "Happy New Year!" at midnight and then singing on karaoke machines until four or five.

Dilbert invented a machine to turn pocket lint into a valuable parsley substitute. He could probably help.

I mowed the lawn this morning and helped install a new dishwasher this afternoon. This ate up all my free time today and I didn't get any writing done. (Laundry, either---the water was off most of the time.)

I am going to have company for the next week, so gear up for lots of random comments from me. I'll be needing to let some pressure off so I don't explode...and I can't make the comments on facebook, for obvious reasons.

Yea I quit taking those damn anti cooko pills a week ago. Most of it is leaving my system thank the Gods.
You know being in a nut house is like being trapped in the movie One Flew Over The Cooko’s Nest. I was like god old Jack, I was the most sane one there. of cores that was a month ago. Man how time flies when one is chemically Lobotomized.

I really want to read the withholding vs. telling section of open discussions, but with all my company I don't have time! My dad really just needs a phone with internet access, because he wants to spend his whole day on my computer.

I do that all the time...they call it "ego-searching," I think. Apparently I've left more footprints in the sands of time than I realized.

Speaking of egos and searching...I just spent a little time trying to track down whether one Douglas Elmendorf, in the news lately as head of the Congressional Budget Office, is the Doug Elmendorf I went to school with lo! those many years ago.
Tentative maybe. I can't find age or date of birth yet (they must be around somewhere)...if the picture is any guide, it does look like the kid I remember.
Still searching for a definite maybe.
Vaguely pleased that somebody I went to school with became kinda prominent...kinda testy that it wasn't me.

LOL Robert. Do you really want everyone watching you all the time and scrutinizing your every move? I am happy to live the undiscovered life. It's also another reason I would rather be an author than a movie star. Authors don't get nearly the sight recognition that actors do. I bet even OSC could go to the mall anywhere in the US and most people, even OSC fans, wouldn't recognize him. Would you really want such a prominent position?

I start appearing on page 7 of Google results for "aspirit" but... sheesh, on the first page if I use a form of my real name. Interesting.

I have decided that there has to be another form of SAD(seasonal affective disorder) but I don't know what it should be called. It's when people (like me) who like short winter days and any kind of cloudy day get depressed by hot, sunny days.
Any suggestions? Maybe SSAD (summer seasonal affective disorder)?
I am feeling quite depressed by all the heat and sunshine we're having lately (guess there's no way I could live in Australia).

I KNOW THAT FEELING!! When I was in Southern California, every time I saw I cloud I busted out my camera and started snapping pictures. And when it rained, I did a happy dance, then went hiking. :-)

I'm the same way. I noticed because I have a friend who gets super depressed in the winter, and we passed in the spring--I was going down and she was going up. It's pretty mild though. If you figure out what it's called, let me know.

Winter is my faverit time of the year for many reasons, its cold, there is snow, means breeding season is around the corner, and the Full Moon is always more beauteful in the winter.
then ther is spring with all the pretty colors and pups are born in the spring and also pray is abundent and easer to catch.
then there is fall when the leaves are turning and the pups are old egnough to hunt.
the only seson i realy dont like is summer because its too damn hot. and i hate the heat. especialy here in WSMR NM.

Well, I was hoping to at least be a professionally published writer by now...I'd settle for that level of notoriety, even now. (By the way, I'm ninety-nine percent sure it is the Doug Elmendorf I knew way back when...I haven't tracked it down, but my father tells me he spotted a place-of-birth, his-and-my-hometown, which clinches it for me.)
In a way, it's very depressing. Here he made something of his life, and now moves among and talks with the powerful and the rich and the intelligent...last night at work I got stuck with a partner who can't handle a simple job but yet can thoroughly disrupt my handling of my job.
(Actually, Doug Elmendorf was one smart cookie even back when I knew him. I'm not surprised he went on to the Ivy League and the Congressional Budget Office. And I don't think I could have done that if I'd'a gone to Harvard.)
Corky and others, it's often called summer-onset SAD, compared to winter-onset SAD. I thought I had it, before realizing the irritability and lethargy I feel in summer also occurs in other seasons if my body temperature is too high.

Well, aspirit, my body temperature, at least on the outside, is certainly high enough. I have to keep washing my face because the sweat dripping into my eyes stings like crazy.
Anyway, it certainly is heat related. I don't want to do anything. I want to quit my job and everything else I'm supposed to be doing. I just want to curl up in the darkest part of my basement and hide. Yuck!
