from oh-sweet-pea :
did i forget to pop in earlier? i guess so! nice to have you back and get caught up in all your adventures again.
from neko-carre :
Maybe you guys should make a trip down to Washington State to attend a fabulously fun & schnazzy cocktail party on May 17th! Eh? Eh?
from n-poledancer :
Yeah I noticed. Welcome back! And yes we are worth every penny and more.
from neko-carre :
Well, hello there! It was wonderful to see your name in red in my Buddy List! Welcome back! Keep on going!
from grlscout :
Hey you - I just did an entry about your wedding - I figured the online ladies needed to know dammit!!!! 3 weeks! Augghhhh! Can you believe it?
from n-poledancer :
Hey you! Awwwwwwwww thanks so much! That is sooo nice to hear. Where are you anyway? I miss you blogging.

It would be great to have you on Dland regularly; I hope all is well.
from absolutheart :

from n-poledancer :
Hey you - are you around? I have a question for you...
from n-poledancer :
I am pretty much going to do whatever I can to distract myself and move on. I probably will move at some point but I dont know where yet. Hopefully sooner than later.
from n-poledancer :
Hi Shanny. I dont know whats going on myself, I am very confused and insecure. Whatever it is its pretty hard to go through. Your wishes mean a lot and thanks for that.
from absolutheart :
the young contractor can have my phone number... hahhaha. ;) sorry to hear about your friend, i can't imagine how traumatised i'd be to see a note like that. hi shanny!!! XXO
from nuclearlieut :
I can't wait to hear about Scout's weddin'... those earrings sound great!
from absolutheart :
missy, check out www.dpreview.com for cameras - they'll give reviews and also let you know how much they cost. :)
from absolutheart :
OF course i still read. :) those shoes sound a lot like earth shoes that are supposed to help people who are on their feet a lot regain good posture and balance. are they cute?? hehehe... i want to see photos of you and your fiance! i don't think i ever have..
from n-poledancer :
Hey you - I wish I could ask mom and dad for a chocolate egg but me and dad are not on speaking terms once again and my mom is here with me in L.A. also craving chocolate eggs like me wayyy after easter!
from nudeplatypus :
I love, love, love the layout. It's magical.

from absolutheart :
i bought the necklace from : www.overstock.com. have a great weekend!
from absolutheart :
i have had two sessions at the dentist already.. one more to go! EEEK! this is nyquilgirl.. new location.. ♥
from oh-sweet-pea :
well you might be consoled to know that dentists have the highest suicide rate. i can't believe how much you've had to pay dentist-wise. i went to the dentist this year & had one cavity and it all was done on the cheap. phew!
from nyquilgirl :
I am not looking forward to work either. :(
from nyquilgirl :
I am the EXACT same way with styrofoam. Just thinking about it is giving me the chills!!!
from nuclearlieut :
The sounds of furniture being dragged across carpet makes my teeth hurt and my brain shrink. Who knows why? I feel your pain.
from rdhdprincess :
Oh my goodness! You're enganged!! Congratulations sweetie, and Merry Christmas!
from nyquilgirl :
I missed it! But congratulations! That is such awesome news. I wish the both of you happiness eternal - xxo!
from nuclearlieut :
Definitely a bride-to-be GTG is in order! Yup, August 12, 2006!!
from k-cowboy :
Congratulations Shanny!! What a Merry Christmas indeed!!
from nuclearlieut :
Congrats, honey!!! I'm so glad you're happy... what a great xmas prezzie!!! Ave xo
from onebluegreen :
Congratulations! Your ring sounds lovely.
from lizbot :
AAAAAAH! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you guys! xoxo
from demoderby :
thank you shanny! i really appreciate the support -- especially from someone as completely awesome as yourself. and there will definitely be gingerbread pictures posted!
from oh-sweet-pea :
you don't need a gold membership to host photos! just use flickr!
from nyquilgirl :
That is so sweet that you bought the painting. I want to see a picture!
from nyquilgirl :
I need to learn how to knit. How come all of my favourite craftmistresses are in Canadia..? Is it a sign? Should I expat? ;)
from chillier :
Thanks for the tip with the beans. The problem that I face with grinding is that the coffee maker grinds them first, then brews the coffee, so I don't know how to control the grinding feature. But this morning I tried cleaning the machine (I know, imagine that) and the coffee tasted better. Thanks again for the comment chock full of all the Canadian flavour.
from neko-carre :
That blouse I'm wearing was from Old Navy. Very cheap! I think around $18.
from nyquilgirl :
i envy your vivacity and approach to life.. lately i've been feeling so low that i can't motivate myself to think that i will actually get OUT of this rut... this note should be filed under [waa waa waaa]
from nuclearlieut :
Shanny, I don't get sick days, vacation time, health benefits, casual Fridays, Pizza Wednesdays, shares, stocks, or any of that crap, either! I feel for ya!
from lizbot :
psst! i got a new job! call me later!
from novel-t :
i still get acne and i'm balding.
from nuclearlieut :
Did everyone decide it was going to be a black top/blue jeans kinda night? You girls are so cute, you even match unintentionally!!
from lizbot :
here ya go dollface: http://flickr.com/photos/lizbot/sets/1299206/
from k-cowboy :
Happy belated birthday!
from grlscout :
Does Liz have a new blog?
from rdhdprincess :
Happy (belated) Birthday babydoll! I'm glad you had such a nice time!
from nuclearlieut :
Happy birthday gurly gurl... Ave xo
from nyquilgirl :
happy birthday lovelie.. xxoxxoxxo!
from lizbot :
indeed we should, don't worry about it. i can't believe it's november already! thursday or friday would probably be best. call me. oh, angryeyebrows.
from nuclearlieut :
Ok, girl... if YOU lock your journal again, please give me the password!! This is the only socializing I've had lately!!! Ok, so its not technically socializing, but at least I can socialize vicariously... Ave xo
from novel-t :
you're a mountain lion?
from lizbot :
ah corporate shitbags! i hope you find something a million times better. i'm starting to look for a new job too since i'll probably be on strike forever.
from nuclearlieut :
Sorry to hear about losing your job (or rather, kudos on your sucky job losing YOU). I'm glad everything's good on the homefront, tho'. Ave xo
from nyquilgirl :
good thoughts for all of us.. take care of yourself and C. (((shanny)))
from nyquilgirl :
sounds like things are on the up and up and that makes me very happy for you. :D xoxo
from novel-t :
waht's with your eye auntie shanny....i mean goobie
from novel-t :
haha....auntie goobie
from novel-t :
hmmm...that's strange. well, here's the webpage i was trying to send you: http://www.casadelpopolo.com/
from lizbot :
hey have you peered into your mailbox lately?!
from nuclearlieut :
Holy moly, must be luv... Kudos! - Ave xo
from lizbot :
awwwwwwwww
from k-cowboy :
Hi Sweetie, thanks for the note. I appreciate it.
from nuclearlieut :
That's exactly why I haven't had a dinner party in AGES, and I adore them. Did anyone even bring the hostess a gift? If the dork husband is who I think it is, it kind of makes me chuckle, though. If its the same person... I had him over for dinner once and I asked if he could chop some tomatoes, and his retort was, "you ARE a tomato!" I was kind of taken aback at its inappropriateness, but I think he was already drunk when he said it...
from lizbot :
i can totally look after your little ones over the weekend. i used to always take care of my neighbour's cats when they were away. give me a call.
from novel-t :
It's time to start killing...I mean loving the ladies...
from novel-t :
you're not much different then most ladies I know....you're all weird...
from novel-t :
haha...good job Shanny..
from nuclearlieut :
Kudos on your daring kitty rescue! Ave xo
from lizbot :
yay!
from chillier :
That's so great!!!! I knew he'd come back but I also know the dreadful panicked helplessness of missing a pet. I'm so happy you're all back together again.
from lizbot :
i hope you find your kitty soon! *hugs*
from nuclearlieut :
Oh no! I hope you find your cat soon!!
from lizbot :
congrats on the new band sweetie. i can't wait to see you singin'. i'm gonna be MIA for the next couple weekends but hopefully i'll see ya soon. xox.
from novel-t :
I got pick-pocketed at Bambo... What a fuckin' dirt bag.
from chillier :
Stupid internet nazis. They don't give you enough work to do but they expect you to sit there looking busy. Such bullshit.
from nuclearlieut :
Luck!
from mrs-roboto :
Thank you so much. Is it possible I can have your passwaor? abesund@yahoo.com
from nuclearlieut :
I think I missed something... i don't read D-Land for a couple days and suddenly you're part some sort of Cuban organization...
from novel-t :
I ate some korean goat stew once.....it was spicy as hell
from k-cowboy :
Goats? I'm sorry, I read that and thought it was a bit much, being a smelly goat man myself.
from chillier :
I'm interested in the patches that you're talking about. Where can you find them? Also, the tea sounds interesting too. Birthdays are like New Years for me and I like to try to make changing. Purging toxins sounds like a great start.
from n-poledancer :
No no no - dont even worry about it. I wrote this thing and its seriously biased and partly untrue. The problem is both the fact that when I vent on my diary its a very narrow point of view. Ive had this blog for almost 3 years now and Ive always loved the communal aspect of it, having blog buddies and exchanging words of encouragement, some points, advice etc. FW and I met via internet and he found my blog and had been reading it for a while when we started dating. He loves reading mine and many others but its a dilemma for me because when Im mad at him I cant write about it because I will hurt his feelings. We are going through what I hope is just growing pains. Im trying to assert myself and take back my blog but at the same time I dont want to hurt his feelings. Ya know? But PLEASE dont censor yourself in your notes, I love getting them.
from chillier :
Who is DHJ - is he a household name? Could I Google Alyssa Milano and find out who he is? You know a lot of people.
from novel-t :
I know whatchya' sayin' sista...
from chillier :
Don't worry, you'll get used to that soul-sucking feeling in no time! It only took me three years. Seriously, go out and have fun. Who cares if you're hung over at work - it's not fun but that's not your real life - home and friends are your real life. Hangovers are just a handy way of carrying your social life to work with you.
from chillier :
There is absolutely nothing worse than the work hangover. There is no way to avoid it, no way to cure it, and it makes the day last ten times longer. Every single time I do that to myself, which is fairly often, I am convinced I will never drink again. Luckily the hangover ends right about the time I get home so I can start all over again. Hope you're feeling better soon.
from k-cowboy :
I haven't seen that movie, but I have worked with the kid who played the "husband". Does that count?
from nyquilgirl :
congratulations! hope the festival goes well.. :) best wishes
from red-wine :
Okay I know I just signed you book, but here's another thought--I just reread some of your later entries, and maybe he's "at a different place" in life because you're doing suddenly well (new jobs, apartment, maturity, etc.) and he's ... not. So good for you and boo for him.
from novel-t :
Ok, I know where that spa is. I pass by it every day on my walk home from work. I move to a house in Bridgeland at the end of this month so I'm kind of a Mission traitor. I love Mission, but I want to live in a house really bad.
from k-cowboy :
Thanks for the encouragement. You're a doll. Gald to hear your new place rocks. Enjoy!
from nuclearlieut :
Dudette! If you're thinking of having a sweet garage sale, er, apartment sale, lemme know! I covet your stuff.
from novel-t :
Meth... I'm smoking meth these days.
from novel-t :
I sorry to unload that all onto you. I just haven't been talking about it at all and it's really one of the worst things I've ever had to go through. I can't imagine how she must feel.
from novel-t :
I am now a sole witness to a sexual assault that happened just this weekend. Sounds like she's going to press charges... sucks because we're all or used to be friends. But man what a creep. What's with some dudes?!
from novel-t :
Nice to see you last night. I didn't make out with any ladies last night... Just some nice slow dancing.
from seastreet :
That first week is the worst kind of hell. You feel awful, and then feel awful for even being tempted to not feel awful anymore. Oh, and also? Arvo Part is SO Estonian and not German! And I'm fucking tickled that you like him.
from k-cowboy :
I don't want to get the boy hooked on anything, but I've heard that if he takes an antihistamine an hour or so before he comes over, it goes a long way in avoiding symptoms. Good luck in the job searches.
from grlscout :
Hey Kid, sorry about all the shite. That completely sucks about the job - and as for jackass #2, I'd say a polite no (re: $400, and remind him of what he said at the time - screw paying him $400, like you can afford that right now). I don't know about the painting - is it the big one? I guess that one was on loan(ish), so whatever, but if it is one of the turd's then again - screw that!! You paid for that one in blood sister!! Ag Club CD release on Friday night - wanna come?
from k-cowboy :
Just throwing in my best wishes and good lucks for the interview.
from nyquilgirl :
i hope the interview went well..
from novel-t :
yeah, I realized that a little too late. But if you read the bottom I let you all know that I'm straight. I just don't get asked that question very much because I'm so damn manly.
from snideblonde :
Ooops! Sorry about that, novel-T! I don't always give the best advice when I'm all Drunkey!
from novel-t :
It's all about confidence and making out in bars... Right Shanny?
from lizbot :
shanny! did you get the email i sent you? i'll be at broken city tonight so hopefully i'll see ya there. xo
from nyquilgirl :
uh oh! what can't you read? i cannot tell if my diary is readable in all browsers. is the yellow font too light? i will change it... :)
from nuclearlieut :
I just read your dirrrty entries, you krazy girl. Good on ya'...
from nuclearlieut :
Bridg... I wish I could've been at the Merc with you, sounded like quite the gong show (too bad its so far away from my apartment). Er. Anyways, I'm sending good job/apartment vibes your way and hopefully I'll run into you someday soon! What do you look like again...? Ave xo
from k-cowboy :
Boy, are we ever in the same boat. All the best to you in all your lookin'.
from k-cowboy :
Love ya. Hang in there.
from dutch-girl :
I'm not able to get in on your password anymore. Did you change it? Jo
from k-cowboy :
Hey Doll. Thinking of you. I hoep you can continue with the job. I hope that things can continue. Maybe it's opportunity....
from nyquilgirl :
[hugs] thinking good thoughts for you.
from k-cowboy :
Just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year and send you a big hug. Take care.
from k-cowboy :
I am so sorry to hear about your boss. Hugs to you.
from seastreet :
Copious sex is indeed the key to Christmas cheer. Good for you. Have a merry day, and a happy New Year.
from k-cowboy :
Yeah you rule! The parlour thing works very well too. All in all, a very good approach.
from nyquilgirl :
ack ack ack!! i have lost your password. this troubles me. i will email you right away!
from grlscout :
Hey Kid, can I pick you up at the crack of dawn tomorrow am (like, uh, 7:45?) I know, I know, it's too damn early! Let me know if you're still into it & gimmie a call tonight. xox L
from nuclearlieut :
Shock! Locked out! May I have the password please? PS. I'm trying to thing of a really good time to get together... but soon, I promise!!
from dutch-girl :
Ummm ... again, I can't get in with Scout's password. Did you change it? Am I a dummy? What's going on??
from dutch-girl :
Scout's password doesn't work. :-( Can you email me with how to get in? Or call?
from grlscout :
Hey SB! Unfortunately I am carless this evening, so shopping after school is out. Perhaps Thursday? My grade elevens would diediedie if you came in and did a speech from Macbeth. Would you cold you? Two of them are actors in the summerstock production and they would be so inspired, I think. I have them twice and sometimes three times a week, always mornings (8:30 - 11:15)so any time in there. I can give you some cab fare or pick you up on the way to school - whatever works. I'll cll you tonight!!!! Re: creepy V - wtf? I don't get that guy's draw. There must be a disproportion of females to males in this town or something. I think I'd go mail-order-groom from Inuvik before I gave that dude a call.
from n-poledancer :
Huh I just checked the entry after you left the note and I just realized how confusing it is. Will fix later but glad I could make you laugh :)
from k-cowboy :
That may be. But I still hate those dragons... Talk to you tomorrow.
from novel-t :
Sorry I missed the birthday...I'll buy you a cocktail.
from k-cowboy :
When you coming out here? Hope we can get together for a pop. Decaf pop, perhaps? Hope your'e feeling better. H.B. again.
from nuclearlieut :
Erg... sorry, girl. I did really try my best to be there, but it sounds as if you had fun regardless of my absence. Happy Birthday...
from k-cowboy :
Happy Birthday!! I'll be there in spirit. My sched is prety much wide open when you comoe out here. Do you have my phone number? I can email it to you.
from seastreet :
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! But if we're getting married you're really going to have to cut down on the flirting.
from withkerth :
i will most certainly be there! Happy birthday!
from nuclearlieut :
I'll do my best to do my best to make it to your birthday... xo
from novel-t :
I'll be there....what time?
from lizbot :
yesssss of course i'll be there! how could i possibly miss it? <3
from snideblonde :
Helloooo beauty! Are you coming out tonight? Will you celebrate with me? I'm going to Vancouver from the 10th to the 15th! We'll have to hook up there!
from lizbot :
hey missy. when are you going to be in vancouver? i'm there the 13th-15th. also, i think you called my old apartment last week. remind me to give you my new # tonight! xox
from seastreet :
Ashamed? ASHAMED?!? YOU do not need to be ashamed. We Americans are collectively responsible for the quality of our leadership. I can only beg your forgiveness in advance.
from k-cowboy :
Happy Advance Birthday!! Give me a call if you come to town. We can finally have that Ice Cream I owe you. Or perhaps a beer.....
from withkerth :
dudester. you're one of the top 5 cutest girls in town, you're super nice, obviously very smart, and totally crafty. chin up, lady!
from k-cowboy :
Thanks, sweetheart. That's the plan. Love and trust. Not fear and doubt. That's where we've been coming from all along, and that's what I liked the most and want to continue. And everything you said right back at ya!!
from k-cowboy :
Sounds like a fun night!! I don't know what's gonna happen with the gal. I just know I like her and like being around her. If nothing happens, I know I got something out of it all. And I don't just mean physically......
from seastreet :
You totally owe me a record deal for your cruelty, Ms. Snide.
from k-cowboy :
Oh the people you meet when you don't have your shotgun, hey?
from k-cowboy :
Yeah, you rock!!!
from k-cowboy :
Have a good trip!! I think I missed some exposition, but whose is the cd? And you're working for a record company now? I thought it was the film fest... I'm so confused.
from seastreet :
You know, I appreciate exactly the same things about yours. Huzzah la vie quotidienne!
from laura-jane :
Hmm, I know what you mean. I think because we are these silent observers, it's a definite feeling of, 'Who am I to comment on this?' But with apples and the weather, it's safe.
from k-cowboy :
Thanks for the encouragement. Right back at ya! Want a scary movie? Go see Shaun of the Dead. Brilliant!!
from onebluegreen :
Thanks. I appreicate it.
from dutch-girl :
I blame my Dad, so I guess, indirectly you can balme him too. Actually, it's a vicious circle, because it was your tale of perfume shopping at HR that put the idea into my head. Let's face it, we're both just enablers. So, how come you have to lock up?
from nuclearlieut :
I would like the password pleeeeze. And thanky.
from k-cowboy :
Hey Sugar. Sorry I missed you while I was in town. As you can imagine I was was run ragged. I had hoped to meet you at the Auburn though. Next time!
from nyquilgirl :
tom waits.. so good
from nyquilgirl :
yay! i'm glad you'll be updating more.. :) xo
from novel-t :
Ha...that's funny.
from rdhdprincess :
Bastard! Thank God he's not YOUR husband! Or mine for that fact. Ugh. Men! You deserve the moon, darling. Nothing less.
from withkerth :
uggghhhh! what an effing nightmare.
from nuclearlieut :
Umm... I guess this means you and Leah won't be attending my birthday party at Mortal Coil on Saturday Oct 2nd?? DOH!! Maybe you guys can stop by after the show? Please? I need more girls!!!!
from grlscout :
Heyrecord-label girl! Just wanted to thank you for getting Kenna & I the go ahead touseBill's CD. We're going to interview him on Saturday methinks. Just bought Big Sandy tickets for Tina and I for October 2nd - you should come too! Tickets are at Megatunes and they're $25 (pricey, I know, but well worth it). Yaaaaaaay, the weekend is coming!
from nuclearlieut :
I covet your spree...
from nuclearlieut :
I knit, too! Although my last *major* project was a giant baby blanket for my nephew (he just turned six). Er. If you and Twyla start some kind of knitting-bee, I want in. Yes, I just invited myself.
from novel-t :
thanks for the shot of Jag... I like you ladies a lot...
from novel-t :
your knits smell really nice....man, i'm so weird...
from withkerth :
we should for sure get together for a craft/joint night! awesome! but - will you teach us how to knit? we've been wanting to learn for years...
from withkerth :
I am with you all the way on #2! I always feel like a crazy person, but I'm pretty sure I'm not!
from nuclearlieut :
AJ was my grey area friend... Redford better pay for that movie AND get the Milk Duds...
from withkerth :
I SMOKED A JOINT ALONE LAST NIGHT TOO! we're pretty awesome, hey?
from rdhdprincess :
You sound so cute, honey. I bet the hair is just adorable on you! Hope you're feeling better! Damn winter weather!
from nuclearlieut :
I'm baaaa-aaack! Sounds like you've been going through a fresh new hell with this Redford. I'm trying to finesse my way into the Flashlight guestlist tonight, because I promised Rob I would by him a drink for the cd he gave me for my supposed birthday that never was. I'm probably not going if I can't get in for free, however... I'm a cheap fickle fawn that way.
from neko-carre :
Shanny & Scout - You have probably figured this out, but just in case you haven't, Snideblonde's diary is not locked. The reason you get that "locked" message is because Grlscout's diary is locked and that's where Snideblonde's images are hosted. It's the images that are locked, not the diary. All Scout has to do is move the images (or Shanny, you can host them someplace else. Photobucket.com is a great, free image hosting site.)
from grlscout :
crap. Can you send me (email) your password? I'll try to get in there and fix stuff. Sorry bout that.
from nuclearlieut :
Don't worry about Flashlight... it was kind of a dud night, anyway. Rob was nice though; he gave me a free cd because he thought it was my birthday for some reason (?). Weird.
from rdhdprincess :
I'm glad to see you are happy dear! It's good when life is good!
from nuclearlieut :
Ok, Flashlight this friday. It will be Night#1 of my vacation. Me, Hottie, You, Grlscout perhaps? Its been too long. Sigh.
from nuclearlieut :
""It suddenly becomes, " Holy shit! Why does this gorgeous creature like me?! I'm a loser freak! What can they possibly see in Me?" I'm sure you know the drill. "" Dear! This is EXACTLY how I felt when I first started dating Hottie! You deserve it, and men should be lining up outside your apartment door bearing gifts on a regular basis just in the hopes of getting a chance to date you!! Go vixen, go vixen...
from nuclearlieut :
Yes... hang out... yes, yes. This dog is taking up all my spare time. I'm done with dog-sitting on Sunday night, so maybe next week I can slip back into my 'ol social butterfly self again. Heavy sigh.
from nuclearlieut :
Wow! Sounds like you had a good nekkid weekend!! Good on ya!
from lizbot :
last night was totally naked night! i went skinny dipping with 3 boys! haha
from nuclearlieut :
Dammit! I missed you singing AND an awesome dress? I feel so out of the loop!
from withkerth :
i saw you sing last night, and thought you were fantastic. i only knew it was you because my boyfriend said so, but yes. it was fantastic! and your dress! so pretty!
from k-cowboy :
Don't know if I will be able to make it in time tonight, but I'll be cheering for you from here. Knock 'em dead!!
from novel-t :
If you're working with Mike I feel terrible for you.....he's ridiculous most of the time.
from nuclearlieut :
Hiya. Rain sucks. I wanna chain smoke and i haven't had a ciggy in sooOOooo long. Mostly because I have none and I don't smoke around Mike. Guess what? I get to see Cirque de Soleil for FREE this weekend because I'm good friends with the brother of a girl who performs in it. Cool, eh? I've never been before. Hope your week is going well...
from k-cowboy :
Hey Sugar, Same old same old here. Waiting for the gravy train, y'know? The readthrough of my script went really well, and the literary guy at the agency is interested in another one I wrote. That would be good. I do like writing. I don't have to dress up....
from nuclearlieut :
ARGH!! I give up!! Everytime I try to leave an entry I can't get on. Its embarressing; people who read my diary must think I've died. Oh wait... who reads my diary?
from k-cowboy :
Sounds like Mr Vancouver kinda turned into a pumpkin.
from nuclearlieut :
Sorry about last night... we didn't end up gong to the Gallery out of sheer laziness. We also blew a ton of cash on a sushi craving, then had a nap, went for gelato/sorbetto and bought some books. Very low-key. I hope your evening went well! Someday d-land will allow me to update, but until then I'll just leave super-long notes scattered about in other people's diaries. The End.
from novel-t :
Thanks, I'm better now. Don't worry about the dvd, i'm going to the shushwaps tonight so i'll talk to ya when I get back. I just bought Paul Fiegs book: Kick Me...pretty funny shit. I'll have to lend it to you.
from nuclearlieut :
OHMIGOSH!! Where have I been?! Sorry its been awhile, Shanny... I've been working like a fiend and starting tomorrow I have FOUR DAYS OFF!!!! I'm so going to Flashlight on Friday, so hopefully you'll be there. Pleez?
from k-cowboy :
Q: Why did the Man cross the road? A: I don't know. Why do men do anything...
from k-cowboy :
Sorry to hear about the "denial". I wonder what he was asking about then.....
from nyquilgirl :
so good to hear you're happy! xo
from k-cowboy :
Why else would he ask such a question?
from lizbot :
awesome thanks!
from novel-t :
I'll call you on the phone tomorrow..."S'OK?" "S'AWRIGHT"
from lizbot :
hey lady, which temp agency do you work for? i need to do some temping asap.
from novel-t :
I'm gonna be painting like crazy tomorrow night and probably on the weekend....I started a bit last night.... Gimme my FREAKS AND GEEKS!!
from novel-t :
I was just kidding....ever seen old school? I guess I should have put it in quotes...sorry
from novel-t :
Man, you're crazy....I like you, but you're crazy...
from k-cowboy :
Thinkin about you in your dilemma. All my best. They say Love Never Ends. While that might not seem like a good thing right now, some day, it will. Your heart is a good heart. That's what you should be hearing in all of this. Peace, babe. Love ya.
from novel-t :
Well I still hope to see you at the NG.... I think it should be interesting.
from oobie-doobie :
...so, get on the phone to Vancouverman before you go to this gig - just so you have extra sassified attitude before you see him. Look good and feel good. If he's gonna see you, make sure you're shining.
from lizbot :
word lady. if you don't wanna go to the ng come to broken city instead. there's a show there too.
from neko-carre :
Well, it was weird cuz it said you updated, but it was previous entry. But then just now it showed up. Okay, I'll download MSN. I actually *just* had it last week even though I didn't download it, so I removed it. Stay tuned, I'll text you when I'm hoooked up.
from neko-carre :
I'm on AOL IM. QKDTucker. But I can probably set up another messenger too. Which one are you on?
from nuclearlieut :
How romantic! I've had 2 people send me tickets in the past... its wonderful, and it makes you feel so special, doesn't it? Yay! Sorry I missed the G.D. day at your place... I went shopping (well, 2 hours of going "uuumm...no") and then out with Mr. Mike.
from nuclearlieut :
Does everyone else dress up for this gay divorcee-thing? What fun.
from novel-t :
I know..I was just trying to make you feel better about things... everything will work out I bet.
from novel-t :
Oh come on....It's a beautiful day!
from grlscout :
Oh shit. I'm sorry you didn't get that job Shanny, that sucks. There's a job out there for you though, I know it. There has to be, you're so talented & smart.
from nuclearlieut :
HHhhmm... I'm not 100% sure, but I think its still illegal to sell pussy on the street. OOOH! Zing! Look at me and my potty mouth!
from nuclearlieut :
Yeah... I've been waiting for my plants to roll across the floor into the kitchen and get their own damn water. Who am I? The Little Prince? Look out for Number 1... that's what I say...
from neko-carre :
Well, I'll need to get with him, but I'm definitely going there to see you too! I'm not sure I can do this yet (time, money) - but let's tentatively plan and if I can't do it, well then at least you've saved up for a good time for yourself and your Northwest pals.
from neko-carre :
Okay.... I'm thinking the weekend of July 31st? (The friend I need to see while over there has a MEGA busy schedule and that's one of the only weekends he's available.) I'm not sure I can do this quite yet, but if you determine that you absolutely can, I will make it happen too. Let me know! We can play it by ear as it gets closer too.
from nuclearlieut :
And you know how I feel about all of this! You're the bomb, Shanny... ok, that sounded weak... you're fantabulous! Trust, I'll think of something better...
from neko-carre :
Okay! What about the weekend of the 10th?
from rdhdprincess :
Aw, who would't like you, let alone be your enemy? You ARE nice dear, and I'm sure a wonderful, loyal friend. We would have so much fun if we were closer! Whoever it is, is crazy. You're fabulous!
from nuclearlieut :
What's this debate thing at the Gallery? This is the first I've heard of it.
from grlscout :
I'm going to go to that debate at the Night Gallery too. I can't resist a good political debate (yeah right! but I'm still going, because I hear there are bands playing, wahoo!) What did you think of the L.F video? Wierd huh? I heart Corby Lund too. He is the dreamiest cowboy this side of cow-town, to be sure. Hey - where did you find the kitty hat pattern? I want to get one to my mom (so she can make a hat for me - though she'd look pretty hot in one too I think).
from novel-t :
Oh, come on...! I would make the best Norseman.
from novel-t :
I'm goning to the Gallery next Tuesday for the debate and Von Zippers....Man, I wish they still had Hot Doggers.
from novel-t :
Who do I remind you of.....? Bill?
from novel-t :
i could see that, but I think Bob's got a lot more of a goofy side to him.
from neko-carre :
Yes! That'd be great! And my b-day is July 20! Okay - I'm going to double-check with my friend DC to see what weekends would be good for him. Then I'll see if that works for you and... OHMYGOD we could actually be PARTYING IN SEATTLE TOGETHER in just a few weeks!!!
from neko-carre :
Oooh-wee, somebody liiikes youuuuu! Kee hee! How sweet! You know, I was thinking - I really, really need to get over to the Seattle area sometime this summer. I gotta get with my friend who's getting married whose wedding I won't be attending. Plus I need to see my family before NYC because I won't be able to get there after NYC. So... LET'S DO IT. Sometime in July. Throw some dates at me!
from nuclearlieut :
I HAVE my job, and I have nice muscles AND drink like a fish. You can't win. Kudos to you regarding your Spring Fling!
from k-cowboy :
Hey Sweetie. Glad you liked the CD. When are you planning to come out here? I might be going back to Cgy for an audition in July. But it would be fun to huck some rocks at the bladers (or the reeally loud motorbikes...) That is, if you're not too involved in yer fling (wink wink). Keep me posted. B
from novel-t :
Oh man, thanks....sorry I didn't return your call last night. I was out at my ma's and for some reason my phone doesn’t work out there...I think it has to do with the power lines.
from neko-carre :
Hrm, I'm limited as to three-dayers because I'm saving all my vacay for NYC. I could probably do a regular two-day weekend, but it would be trying. I'm pretty much open for any weekend before the end of August, although July 4 would really be ideal. Damn, I should've thought of this earlier!
from novel-t :
I glad you've enjoyed Freaks and Geeks... I think next I'll buy the first season of Northern Exposure. Friday was fun.
from neko-carre :
We wanna hear about the Vancouver romance! Come on!
from nuclearlieut :
MMMmmmMmmm... box o' wine. You should get a four-pack of Strongbow. Yes.
from novel-t :
What...?! You don't like Hochtaler?
from novel-t :
Ok..Ok....I'll get the first box...
from nuclearlieut :
Yes, You-Me-Earspitter-Hottie-Booze... the four hipsters of the apocalypse...
from nuclearlieut :
Yes, You-Me-Earspitter-Hottie-Booze... the four hipsters of the apocalypse...
from nuclearlieut :
I would love to party-party witcha. I get off work at 6pm on Friday, and then I'll have to get some dinner, possibly with Hottie. So perhaps we can meet you guys at Broken City (will it be open??) and then off to the Gallery of Night.
from neko-carre :
I really liked PSH in "State & Main." He can be so cute and vulnerable.
from k-cowboy :
Hello Sweetie. Did that Cd of mine ever show up there?
from novel-t :
Well, it will have to be your place because I don't have my TV or DVD player at the new place yet and I'm thinking Broken City if it's open tomorrow night...But just for the beginning of the night and then Flashlight(I need to dance to some B-52's)...or maybe we'll just do what everyone else is doing...I don't know
from novel-t :
OK...Tomorrow we can do the wine/freaks and geeks thing, then the bar thing. Oh man, what fun!
from novel-t :
Glad you're back with booze...I told you he's a good guy...His conversations can be a little too intoxicating, so it's good you thought about taking a break from him...And when he's hanging with drugs he becomes such an asshole.
from nuclearlieut :
What's this?! I turn my back and you've broken up with BOOZE?? Now its all awkward; I mean, I like you, but I also like booze... I don't know whose side to be on because I'm friends with both...so. I hope you don't mind if I see booze behind your back. He's been making eyes at me... wall-eyes, mind you.
from novel-t :
I'll have to lend you my Freaks and Geeks DVDs.... It's easy to stay home and not drink when you have something as entertaining as that show to look forward too. Or maybe we can get a couple bottles of the good stuff and have a freaks and geeks party. I'm not making this easy am I...
from demoderby :
no problem! i have to go to the post office later so i'll mail it today.
from k-cowboy :
Hey there. I tried to send an email but it came back. I need your new email address. I had to reboot my computer and I think I lost it. I am not doing much these days and would love a little bout of e-tag. You're it!!
from k-cowboy :
How are things on the Avenue tonight? Must be pretty sad. I think the Flames should get a parade though.
from k-cowboy :
Thanks for the Birthday Wishes!! Odd about the cd. It should have been there last week. Maybe they opened it and are listening to it..... Let me know when it somes. GO FLAMES!!!
from nuclearlieut :
Fuck reading journals.... your notes section is much more interesting ;)
from lizbot :
no, apparently they had too many leather workers so they didn't have room for me. although i don't make a damn thing out of leather. oh well! i've also come down with a nasty throat infection so it was probably for the best.
from nuclearlieut :
When were you going to Flashlight? Huh? Perhaps I should just call you, eh? Wha? Hey?
from neko-carre :
But did you see my point (i.e., the reason I messed up your gbook)? NINE HOURS! That's a three-day weekend visit right there!
from neko-carre :
Aw shit, sorry! Didn't mean to screw up your guestbook!
from bolashley :
Thank you for your note sweetie! I wish I had the guts to "let him have it" one time. Oooh, and smashing good job on the audition! Good luck!!
from nuclearlieut :
Yay Lightning! Yay! OOPS... that makes me sound like a Tampa fan...
from novel-t :
sounds promising
from novel-t :
I'd love to go watch the game with you, but I'll be kind of stranded at my Mom's as I have no car right now. I also need to get my piles of close sorted out and finally get rid of over half of it....man that's hard. I've already done it once and only had one garbage bag full of cloths to get rid of...I'm a little to sentimental I think. Hopefully by the end of this weekend I’ll be in the new place.
from nuclearlieut :
Zak is as Zak does. Nice grumpy pants... did you get them at Purr?
from nuclearlieut :
PS. I would've met you at the Ship but I am broke and I'm at my parents place. Blah.
from nuclearlieut :
That audition sounds funky. Is that on par with pretending to be bacon frying in a frying pan?? I HATE DATA ENTRY!! I did it for Alberta Ballet for a couple weeks years ago and wanted to strangle myself with my pantyhose two day into it. Would this be a bad time to send you a copy of a really great email Hottie sent me that I probably shouldn't share, even though I'll burst at the seams if I don't?? Rubbing it in? Ok, nevermind.
from nuclearlieut :
I feel your blahs. If money comes through this week wanna go to Flashlight and stick out our tongues at boys?
from novel-t :
Hurry up and update..! I'm bored
from novel-t :
testimonial done... it's kinda blah...
from novel-t :
Sad and strange...I guess some people never grow up...
from novel-t :
D sounds a bit on the insecure side...a bit weird also. And referring to him as a boy is quite fitting because I don't know any men that act like that...But I don't know him so who am I to really say anything.
from k-cowboy :
Hey Sugar. Your CD is in the mail. 2-4 days for delivery. Hope you like it. Go Flames!!
from nuclearlieut :
Kick 'em in the nutz. Oh, wait.... are you at work? Nevermind.
from novel-t :
Yeah sure...that sounds good. I need to see you jumping on the Auburn tables or maybe Zak will have something at the bar. I also think I get my bundles of money tomorrow...Yeeehhaaaaa...Go Flames
from novel-t :
Honestly...! I was on the phone with him when he was writing it...I was also getting very angry.
from zakcula :
No. Sorry.
from neko-carre :
Right on! You're putting out the "I'm confident and happy" vibe & people are attracted to that like bees to honey. Yay for Shanny! ~ Oh, and something funny: my friend DC pulled a "Shanny email" yesterday. He said in his email, "I talked to my fiancee about what you & I had, and everything is alright now." I'm like, "HUH? WHAT did he & I HAVE? That's the first I've heard of it!" And then I realized that he meant "I talked to my fiancee about what you & I had TALKED ABOUT." Shew! That was weird for a sec! Hahahaha! A total Shanny moment!
from zakcula :
I wanted to say that I think that's funny that you thought the Ship guy was nervous. I am flattered for sure, but I don't think the Ship has anything to worry about.... YET!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!
from zakcula :
Thanks!
from novel-t :
maybe I'll spit in your ear.
from novel-t :
Man, you don't need to go to that flashlight thingy....just dance the night away at Broken City...I'm sure that's what I'll be doing.
from the-pala :
Dear Snideblonde, You are worthy of all the best melons Canada's produce market has to offer. And big, sloppy kisses too. *big hug AND kiss*
from snideblonde :
Dear Snideblonde; You are the most fascinating, beautiful, talented, funny, warm-hearted woman in the entire universe. I love you and wish you were my girlfriend! Please send me kisses and love...
from k-cowboy :
Thanks for the note of encouragement. It was greatly appreciated. I can send a copy of the cd, but I will need to get your address. Do you have my email address you could send it to? I tried the one I have for you but it didn't make it.
from novel-t :
I'm not too sure when I'll be there...I need to move a few things from the old place to my Mom's and then probably have diner with her... I'd like to make it down before nine, but we'll just have to see.
from novel-t :
..No problem...the northeast is my old hood...Rundle yo Rundle
from nuclearlieut :
OOOoooOOOoo! Harem! Ok, don't make it too inviting, otherwise your chill pad will transform itself into a lay pad. Kidding. But just think of all those pillows...
from nuclearlieut :
HA! Fag. He called me sweet? Now I feel bad. Fag. Nope, still funny...
from nuclearlieut :
ALSO! Mike's friend lives in that older apartment building on fourth with the balconies and she's invited us over for a couple drinks, but if YOU'RE having a chill-pad then we will most definitely have a chillaxin' session there. I don't even know what tolerable skimpy means. I need to do laundry.
from nuclearlieut :
EEEEEEK! Weird!! Didn't we have a conversation about pheramones(sp?) or ovulating and how it attracts men from the past all in one go?? NO? Well... I sure was thinking it. Did AJ mention anything me-related? I don't think he knows we know eachother, though. I'm hoping he'll just fade, fade away....
from novel-t :
Oh man, it would be perfect for a Lilac party, but I'm afraid I might not be totally moved in yet....and I’ll be doing a drastic overhaul on the place before I want anyone to see it...it really looks horrible right now.
from novel-t :
I'll make sure to spit in your ear at the opening. I can't stay too long because I’m moving and need to get up early Saturday...so only a little spittle.
from zakcula :
I only give free commment.s I'm like the great oracle. But THIS IS YOUR PERSONAL INVITE>. That's it. It didn't need to be personal. I said everyone was invited. Free food. I can't give everyone free booze. Booze is costly. There's a cost to it. Food and entertainment, and support even if it is from a very far distance- that's all for free.
from nuclearlieut :
Is he opening this weekend??? Let's do both. I'm looking forward to all the free alcohol Zack will be giving us, for sure. That's because he's the sweetest thing on Earth that owns a bar and he knows we know lots of cool people and will tell all of our cool friends to patronize his bar on a regular basis. Right?!
from nuclearlieut :
OH, Shannon.... I wish I could give you a big hug. I know things feel shitty right now, I've been there so many times they should call it "getting the Averys"... it sounded as though the Boy (despite his illness and the phone cutting out) was glad to talk to you! As far your ex's new fling, you should pity the two of them... she has to deal with <I>that</I>, and she doesn't sound like the best catch, either. At least he's occupied and won't be bothering YOU. For some reason, everyone always enjoys telling me that my Ex has been spotted on a date with, or picking up some girl somewhere, like this would be info that would make my world a better place. Think of how much stronger you are now, than when he was around sucking the life outta ya. Turd. And I think you're the coolest thing around, so THERE!!
from nuclearlieut :
I totally need to update. Lately, I've been answering more notes than actually writing entries. Contrary to popular belief, I actually put some thought into some of them, so it takes me awhile. Either that, or I end up accidentally deleting them. I've written down your number... I'll give you a call later!
from n-poledancer :
I absolutely agree with your last post. You should never settle for a bad relationship. Ive always chased the unavailable too but now Im in a relationship that is amazingly easy, neither of us is insecure about the other and we're happy. I didnt even think it was possible before this but it is and its great.
from novel-t :
I actually like the rain today with my hockey hangover....it feels somewhat cleansing, but I’m also not sick...please get better
from nuclearlieut :
Ugh... will you be well enough to go??? Maybe we should all converge at your place and have a chicken soup pahr-tay. Don't let the virus win!!!
from nuclearlieut :
No Flashlight, eh? Moustache Rock is still good... yes, I still want to go. I think Hottie is leaving for BC (family reunion) on Friday, so I think I'll be left to my own devices. aheltay@hotmail.com
from nuclearlieut :
Dammit, no one in my family sews (I can darn pointe shoes and socks, that's about it). I wish someone were sending me organza skirts through the mail...PS hope you're feeling better...
from nuclearlieut :
Yes, yes, yes... the stars are aligning for us, honey. It was so great running into you yesterday at the Ship! I have my dancing shoes all lined up for Flashlight... lets hope all goes well and we can get together for drinks beforehand, ok?
from zakcula :
I don't think what I said was particularly mean. Just honest. You asked for advice on it.
from nuclearlieut :
OH! And I forgot to mention; congrats on the long-distance boy-call, the school play, and did you cut your hair or was it always that short?! Either way, it looked cool in the Flashlight pics...
from nuclearlieut :
Yes, gawdammit... we should hang. One of these days I was planning on hitching a ride with Scout to the flea market, but I really only get one full day off, so something always ends up taking priority (ie. laundry). We'll think of something...
from grlscout :
Hmph. I think there are lots of way cooler boys out there that would love to go for a drink with you (like those awesome guys we were hanging with on Friday night for instance). I wouldn't lose a single minute of my day worrying about one silly one if I were you. Come have beers with me on my back deck!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can watch the game;)
from nuclearlieut :
OOoooOOOoo... what's this going on?! Your notes are more interesting than the "OC". I've never watched the "OC", but I hear its the new "Melrose Place", which I never watched, but I heard it was full of bitch-slaps and one-liners.
from zakcula :
I have advice. When someone says that they're busy and that they just want to spend some time with their friends don't try to force them to come hang out with you by phoning back five minutes later and saying "I'm bored, let's go for a drink". When people seem like they want space you must give it to them or they will feel a little creeped out.
from nuclearlieut :
HA! Just read your last entry... that's something I would've done, if I haven't done it already. I'm racing around, I'm uncharacteristically (HUH?! IS THAT EVEN A REAL WORD?!) busy at the mo', what with work and hottie-lovin'. We're going out for din din tonight (no Ming), I hope you get to meet him soon!! I have yet to call back AJ (its been 3 days)... I'm cowardly, but I see your point that I have nothing to feel guilty about. Hey, perhaps YOU could call him for me? Aw, crap.
from k-cowboy :
Hey Sugar, thanks for the note. Congrats on the new hairstyle! Glad to hear about your creative writing binge too. Keep it up!
from the-pala :
well, thanks for adding me on as a marble :) i don't get the whole f-ster thing either but yet i followed. *big hug* p.s. damn, you're a knockout!
from nuclearlieut :
Yes, yes. Like a good melon. You know after a little squeeze. They have to smell right, too. ; )
from faux-pas :
I have no idea when you left this note (and sorry if my update was boring, as I suspect it was)... but yeah, no one hardly ever updates on my buddylist anymore either. I think lots of people have abandoned dear old diaryland. It sucks.
from floodtide :
I'm sorry you're sad. Thought about you this weekend doing "Fuddy Meers." Think of you often, in fact. Here's hoping you find some joy and healing soon. Love, flood
from neko-carre :
Doh? Scout says he came over?? SPILL, GIRL!
from k-cowboy :
Hey Doll, thanks for your note. Hope everything works out for ya. xoxo B
from zakcula :
Indeed.
from zakcula :
haha. so true. Please don't associate me with what I write though- it's mostly bs.
from rdhdprincess :
Oh honey, you really should have at least set her straight on the eyeliner issue! Ha! Have a great weekend, tell Dutch Girl that I said hello!
from neko-carre :
Damn! I was getting used to frequent updates from ya!
from rdhdprincess :
Yay! Good for you! I can't wait to hear all about it. I always knew your were fabulous.
from floodtide :
(Of course, I'm WAY too young for the part....)
from floodtide :
Thought you'd be tickled to know I'm playing Hitchcock in a staged reading of "Hitchcock Blonde" in two weeks! Yahoo! I'll be thinking of you, of course, with love. FT
from rdhdprincess :
Ha! Mary sounds dangerous. I would stay away from her until she gets some sex! Helping out strangers, that's our Shanny! Mwah!
from n-poledancer :
I finally got some time to read, very nice. Sorry about your asshole landlord or manager, sounds like a bad deal. I would be careful around him :(
from n-poledancer :
Oh thanks much, I look forward to reading yours soon when I have time.
from habbit :
wow, youre cool! funny too. nice read.
from onebluegreen :
Thanks for the link to carmel cookie recipe. Those look great. Being single can be lonely and I don't want to be this way forever and ever but once I settle into being me and not worrying about being Single (with a capital S and all the dread) then I find I really enjoy myself and find I am more likely to do things I am interested in. Whereas when I am dating I get distracted or a little sidetracked.
from rdhdprincess :
Well now that you say it that way, yes. But, they're BOOTS!
from neko-carre :
P.S. Do you have my passwords right? They are "diamonds" and "frink." P.S.S. I liked that getcrafy site! P.S.S.S. Wow, you've updated, like, four times in two days! This makes me happy! You need to keep this job.
from faux-pas :
Password? I didn't lock my diary, I just didn't have the time or inclination to write in it for a while... but I'm doing so again. PS. I was just about to go read your journal. Are you psychic or something? EEEK!
from rdhdprincess :
Wow, what a lunatic! Glad she is gone and you can now be at peace. I'm glad things are going well, good to hear from you!
from nyquilgirl :
hello hello.. i tried sending you a password before. is your email still : snideblonde@hotmail.com? if it's changed, please let me know and i will send you an email. :) glad you're back.
from nyquilgirl :
I did miss you dear.. I'm happy to you're updating again. Your apartment sounds like it's filled with loveliness. I hope you're happy and healthy! ♥s
from neko-carre :
What a lovely life! Sounds like things are just grand. I knew you could do it. :) So good to hear from you.
from nyquilgirl :
Hi Love, hope you had a good holiday and best wishes for the new year.
from nyquilgirl :
ahh, i still want the pattern for leg warmers. :)
from neko-carre :
Ugh! Welcome to the workforce. The SSSS is there for you. Consider it the Sassy Secretaries AND Box Office Babe's Secret Society. :)
from neko-carre :
Yaaaaaaay! Congrats on the job! Things sound like they're looking UP! Glad to hear from ya. Luv, Neko
from neko-carre :
Yaaaaaaay! Congrats on the job! Things sound like they're looking UP! Glad to hear from ya. Luv, Neko
from nyquilgirl :
I ♥ SNIDEBLONDE. You rock, really. Thank you for the note, it made me feel so good.. I've been needing encouragement lately. I'm so glad you're there for me.
from nyquilgirl :
I WANT THE PATTERN!! I left a note here before asking for it.. but I don't know how to knit. Can I buy some off of you?? I want some so bad!! You know, this is going to sound weird but I had a dream you called me. I swear, I don't dream about Diarylanders, but I dreamt you called me to tell me everything's going to be okay, and it meant so much to me.. Aww.. Well Shanny.. I definitely would like the legwarmers pattern!
from onebluegreen :
I think your leg warmer pattern sounds very cool. Usually I would be the first to ask but I am way behind on my own knitting projects. Plus I am trying to clean my space in preparation for a probable move which means every day I throw away a bag of papers. Congrats on the novella!
from neko-carre :
How the HECK did I miss your birthday??!! Well, here's to you, gorgeous! And a fabulous new year! Happy Birthday, my friend!
from jetbot :
i dunno if this worked in yer guestbook so i'm putting it here too: hey thanks for the password -- i've missed reading yer entries. pom-poms are super duper easy. i got this technique from an old knitting book i have: *********************************************Wind yarn over fingers as given below, required number of times. Remove from fingers. Tie tightly in centre. Cut through each side of loops thus formed. Trim to smooth round shape. Sew in postition.*************************************************** Large size - Wind yarn over 4 fingers 75 times. Medium size - Wind yarn over 3 fingers 60 times. Small size - Wind yarn over 3 fingers 50 times. Smallest size - Wind yarn over 3 fingers 40 times.
from red-wine :
Ack, I know! What is going on with the mens these days? Now that we're finally learning to stay relaxed and date with impunity, which they've been screaming for all along, they go and get all clingy. And I think it's completely within our rights, fresh out of a relationship or not. Not much help to you dear, but at least I can sympathize.
from red-wine :
I've still been reading...I, um, actually caught the password on Neko's notes. Guess I should have mentioned that. Have fun tonight, Spygirl!
from onebluegreen :
Happy Halloween.
from faux-pas :
dang, another place I ain't gots no keys to. *knock knock*
from onebluegreen :
Thanks. I am interested and have been bummed I couldn't read your new updates.
from rdhdprincess :
Hope you're okay honey! I would like the password, too. cjonelson@msn.com
from bathtubmary :
i put in my request, too. hope you're well. xoxo,d
from floodtide :
Now YOU're locked, too! If you are sharing passwords, may I please be so bold as to request one? I need my fix. Love, flood
from grlscout :
Hey! Mee too! I wanna get in too!! Hey, check your email, I sent you something.
from neko-carre :
Hi! You locked? May I have your password?
from dutch-girl :
So, are you going to give us the username and password? :-)
from neko-carre :
Doh?? Username "diamonds" password "frink"? Let me know if it's still not working.
from red-wine :
*gulp* Oh. Fuck. Just keep your head up, and for the love of women everywhere, don't let him see you lose your composure. Which I'm sure you didn't!
from neko-carre :
What a prick. That screams of obviousness. The fucker. I'm sorry, Shanny. My solution? Move. The Pacific NW USA is very nice. :-)
from nyquilgirl :
Hello Lovely, I tried to sign the guestbook, but stupid guestbooks won't let people sign more than one within one minute or something so I will leave a note here hoping you will find it!! I just wanted to say good luck with the play and I'm thinking the best thoughts for you!! [♥]
from bolashley :
Dang G-Books suck ass! Anyways, was tryyying to say: Meeeow!!!! You're gonna be fabulous! And glad that things are slowly getting better.
from neko-carre :
You got a kitten?! Oh, how precious! It's exactly what you need! And name? Just watch his personality - a name will come from that. I thought of all these cool names I wanted to name my little black kitten and in the end, we named her the first name we said when we saw her: "Those whiskers make her look like Groucho Marx." Hence, Groucho.

All I can say is, "Me, too." Me, too, looking for jobs like waiting tables at breakfast; me, too, sick of it all; me, too, how can my life get this rotten all at one time? Local folks found my diary via a Google search and the cast of "Footloose" (which I trashed) all read it. All of 'em. My teaching gig ended on a horrible note; someone who had it in for me told the admin I was putting the moves on a student (it was movement class; you touch them there); I didn't get the Horatio I was sure I would get. And today we're due to leave for three days on Mackinac Island and I wake up in the middle of the night with a bad sinus infection that hit all at once. In other words, I'm feeling your pain. Actually, I'm feeling my pain, but I'm feeling it with you. Love, flood. PS: The diary will be unlocked again soon.
from onebluegreen :
Working some job you hate for cash when you want to be making a living from your art sucks. I am struggling with the same thing. I understand completely about the breakfast gig. A couple of years ago I worked in a coffee shop. Being at work by 5:30 a.m. was exhausting and unnatural for me. I can see going to bed at that time but work? C'mon now. It just ain't right. *Hugs*
from k-cowboy :
Hey Doll Just stopping for a quick cuppa sympathy for ya. Chin up. Who knows what is and what is not meant to be? Just know that you ROCK!! Hugs, B
from neko-carre :
Awesome. It's so cool that you have a friend like Jo. See? You ARE blessed after all. :)
from faux-pas :
Damn that signmyguestbook - it won't let me sign yours because I just signed someone else's... anyway, just lettin' ya know, if I win the lotto tonight, I send ya a big fat cheque! Here's hopin'!!!!
from faux-pas :
I moved back to Faux-Pas.... yes, I know. I'm loonie ;0)
from neko-carre :
Did you get it yet? Did you get it? Huh huh huh?
from dutch-girl :
Stupid GB. I'll just put this here then. Hey Beautiful Girl - You're right, I so want to be like Francis McDormand in Laurel Canyon. Nice toothpaste on your chin. Hugs ;-)
from neko-carre :
(All gbooks hate me today.) Wasn't Elvis THE BOMB!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE his music!
from floodtide :
Oh. My. God. Oh, my God! I am so sorry. PLEASE get to the doctor, and get to the police, though not necessarily in that order. I'm glad you weren't hurt worse than you were, both of you; I'm glad you're (relatively) okay. I will be thinking of you. Love, flood
from rdhdprincess :
That's it. Your guest book hates me! I'm sure you are not an asshole sweetie. You will triumph soon, I know it! Congrats for hanging in there!
from rdhdprincess :
Damn guest books! Erased my entire message, and I'm sure it was oh, so witty! You're in my thoughts!
from ginja-puds :
Not to belittle your situation... but if I were you, I'd put some cyann pepper in all of his underwear before I packed up and dumped his crap off. payphone -grrrrr! *hugs*
from neko-carre :
Hooray for healthy little ones! What a great Wish List. Thank you, my friend.
from floodtide :
First: Thank you - THANK YOU - for your terrific, sweet note. Second, and far more important: I am praying for Alex, and will be. Love, flood.
from ginja-puds :
heh, Shanny, you crack me up. we should yak it up online sometime - do you have an online yak program? PS, dunno if this message might appear in your guestbook too, cuz I wrote it their first and then signmyguestbook when all insane on me.
from floodtide :
YOU ROCK! Thank you! Hope you won't mind the subterfuge/extra step, but: E-mail me, please, at floodtide@diaryland.com, and send me YOUR e-mail, and I'll send you my "real" (i.e., home) e-mail. I don't like posting my regular e-mail address in diaryland, since it has my real name in it. Thanks. I go to Cleveland tomorrow for Friday's auditions, so cross your toes for me. Love, flood.
from neko-carre :
Mmmm, thank you sweetie. That makes me feel great when others believe in me. I'm going to read back on your note when I start to doubt. Someone once told me that I should say I'm a writer anyway. When people ask, "What do you do?" I don't have to say, "I'm a receptionist." I should say, "I'm a writer and I'm supporting that by temporarily working at H&W Inc" or something like that. You already got it down. You ARE an actor with a temp job. I love that.
from ginja-puds :
you didn't miss anything, I just decided to move
from floodtide :
In one way, the fact that it went so well is what matters - all that matter. The job, if it happens, is just icing. And if it doesn't happen, there's something better waiting. Congrats on having had the exquisite pleasure of doing well and KNOWING you've done well - I'm so thrilled for you, really. Reading this entry before going to bed sends me there happy instead of melancholy at the end of an otherwise sad day. So thanks. Much love, Flood.
from floodtide :
ALL you have to do is breathe, and remember to take your TIME in the audition. If the director didn't want you to read, he wouldn't have sent you the stuff, so your chances are at least as good as anyone else there. First of all, if they cast based solely on age it's out of your hands anyway; the audition won't matter much. And if talent matters, and if you're the only one in your age group, that's a plus, not a minus: The rest of them will all blend together; you'll already have a reason to be memorable. You KNOW you bring all the life experience you need to this, so let that be there and let them think "Jesus! She's 32 and she can play this with such depth? At the AUDITION? Let's grab her...." This is not hyperbole; it's the facts of the busines and you know it. Don't let the pressure lead you into a reading that is about trying to please; you're already falling into the trap of trying to figure out what it is they want. Play your ACTION in pursuit of your OBJECTIVE with focus and simplicity and truth. This is Acting 101, but I know that I always need to be reminded of it; however, it is the only thing that matters. Break your pretty legs; I'll be pulling for you. And fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. Love, Flood.
from mrs-roboto :
Sorry about the cold and the uterus issues. Hope you feel better soon.
from grlscout :
HB, you've gotta read Argyle Socks story about auditioning for C@nadian Idol - it's great. I love the part about the celebrity judge threatening to beat him up like Prince's dad in Purple Rain. http://argyle-socks.diaryland.com/030507_36.html
from rdhdprincess :
You wanna play?! You would definitely fit right in! I have been wanting to send you a chia-something anyways! Send me your address, babe!
from faux-pas :
dland now puts up some default page if'n you delete a page in your journal and then don't go back in an make a new entry... well, I was fiddlin' around with my layout, deleted somethin' and at the same time, my net connection died. I had been cut off because I hadn't paid my damned interent bill in a couple months. erg... all is fixed, as you can see. and so, I am reading a bazillion diaries right now - woo!
from neko-carre :
Okay, you are officially my idol! That is SO going in the SSSS! (With your permission, of course.) And yes, whine all you want in the SSSS. That's what it's there for! The Rant Forum will be up and running soon (I hope).
from faux-pas :
I always forget about this notes feature... and it's sent! YAY.
from neko-carre :
ARGH, I so could've written that! By the end of the day, my forehead is bright red from banging my head repeatedly on the desk. In fact, I DID write a similar entry. Go here http://neko-carre.diaryland.com/phoneetique.html. Oh, and men with white pants hitting on you??! HAHAHAHAHAHA! At least it's not furnace repairmen and building maintenance guys. Er, wait - is THAT who you're talking about? Hee. And I don't know what's worse - having dry, bitter women commenting on your fashionable style or watching your fellow female coworkers come back from lunch with bags from Nordstrom and Banana Republic every other day. Oh, just shove it, Barbie!
from asteroidbelt :
ooops. sorry i forgot to say thank you too. i was doing something else while i was signing. duh.
from neko-carre :
Bitchily answering the phone? Huh! I wrote THAT country song. ;) I love reading someone's diary who has the same rants I do! I can't tell you the number of "innocent" coworkers I've snarled at today. "I'm not gonna hold your fricking hand! Can't you see I'm busy?!" Then I just keep telling myself, "This isn't me, this isn't me, this isn't me" until I can go home, turn on some Lounge, and sip glass after glass of Shiraz. Ahhhhh.... Someday....
from floodtide :
Oh, my God! An actress who loves "Dangerous Liaisons" and "Tom Waits" and "Betty Blue" and Fiona Apple... We would get along like a house afire. Thanks for your terrific, generous note. So thrilled to know that there's actually another working actor out there in d-land? Candian? Where do you work? I'm planning a trip to Stratford in August. I, too, act for a living, though I'm making all my money directing at the moment. Have been in the company at Utah Shakes and at The Shakespeare Theatre in D.C., among others. Will be teaching acting this summer at Interlochen, possibly again at North Carolina School of the Arts in the fall (keep your fingers crossed). Thanks again for your note. Love, Flood.
from boxingnun :
haha..whoops....sorry....but ever since 'scout told me that you were the mother in rat race i have been watching movies thinking that every blonde woman between the age of 20 and 45 is you or at least could be you....hope the auditions work out for you.....cheers...
from boxingnun :
hey....are you the mayor in big eden?
from sirilyan :
If anyone had said to me "At least it's a dry heat" today, I would have pounded them to death with a baseball bat.
from boxingnun :
holy crap! you're famous.... i just read a note that grlscout left me saying that YOU were in rat race....that's crazy.....
from boxingnun :
i read your diary....er um journal...or whatever you call it....i think your dream means that you're hungry for seafood....
from ladyvelveeta :
I just read your guestbook note and can I tell you how warm and fuzzy it made me feel? Seriously, it feels good to hear that shit and that reassurance. It does help to write and work through it, you're right. Anyway, you're a sweetie--thank you!! Oh yeah, and I love your Prague plan. I've had friends that have went there and fell in love with it. It's nice to have a goal to work towards; it gets you through the crappiest of days.
from boxingnun :
hey got yr note....i would like to say in my shithead defense that i read your diary every damn day although not until the evenings....as far as my objective opinion goes, i don't really know if my advice will be ofuse to you....i'm a bit of a relationship dullard, but i would say the space knob strategy sounds good.....space is always good....at least for me it is....perhaps you can see how you feel after the tour and re-evaluate then.....i don't really know.....
from boxingnun :
i think YOU were hitting on HER.....
from oedalis :
eeekkk! i didn't realize i'd left sooo many repeats last time. -sighs- its my trigger finger.
from oedalis :
yes, yes she was hitting on you. what are you going to do about it? -G-
from oedalis :
ironic that you ask because i just left a message in grlscout's guestbook, oh, a little over two hours ago regarding my interest in the creative writing project she is undertaking. is that the same thing? btw, thanks for the note. its so nice meeting people i can relate with ;)
