from apsco1 :
Wow! Where did you get "Shapes for Patients" from? That was incredible. Was this an excerpt of something from somewhere, if so, where did you get it.......it's really cool. Let me know.....adam [email protected]
from candora :
'because...' reminded me of Stephen King's Dark Tower books, maybe because I am reading the fifth... hmmmm...
from ghanima :
That is the funniest plug I have ever read. Thanks--I may have to quote it somewhere.
from pezdispenser :
also, who cares? the ship's doctor was hot. haha
from pezdispenser :
Amaranthine. remember when i never answered you because in the back of my head i was sure i already had but when your notes section was checked it was observed that i hadn't and so the note that was previously thought to have been left was therefore late and irrelevant in the end?
from pezdispenser :
handmade envelopes or handmade cards?
from pezdispenser :
broccoli, preferably in mongolian barbecue.
from espiritu :
indeed! i still dont expect that i'll be updating that much, but i haven't abandoned the poor diary completely =)
from ghanima :
Donuts. Hmmm.
from pezdispenser :
bored or stressed out?
from pezdispenser :
john, absolutely. no contest.
from pezdispenser :
speed graphic. blues or blue grass?
from pezdispenser :
hmm. i second that.
from ghanima :
Everyone seems to be getting plenty disillusioned with Diaryland--or is it just the two of us? I shudder to think that I simply repeat recognizable encores...
from glass-arcade :
I see by your entry that you are still up at this strange hour before dawn, is everything alright with you? I tried emailing you but it says your not accepting mail, this puzzles me.
from pezdispenser :
i think you need a vacation. or else a hug.
from pezdispenser :
why didn't you tell me college was so great?
from pezdispenser :
by the way, i left you a note at the exact same moment you updated. crazy, no? also, that's a pretty desperate entry. what is it about?
from pezdispenser :
yes, but do you hate them as much as my neurotic mother?
from pezdispenser :
wow. i am so behind in telling you the goings on of my life that my head just popped. don't you hate it when you've marinated too long and now you have no flavor?
from ghanima :
Please go look at what I wrote in my livejournal (http://www.livejournal.com/users/yuki_onna) All this happened because of you, in an odd way.
from ghanima :
Young Jedi, the Emperor encourages participation in diaryrings...I find your lack of faith disturbing.
from pezdispenser :
your mom is a noxious economic slump. but really, she's not. at least, i imagine she's not. wish her a happy mother's day if you haven't gotten around to it yet. :)
from pezdispenser :
what makes it a smart pill? i'm very well, but in no financial position to be spending my afternoon painting. oops. in fact, i'm quite poor. and cold, actually. but other than that, i'm swell. and, i have a joke for you. what did the fish say when it ran into the wall? dam.
from pezdispenser :
hey, are you okay? oh, look, i rhyme.
from ghanima :
sublime.
from pezdispenser :
aw geez. that's the worst news ever! especially today, as it's ridiculously nice outside. i curse your medication.
from pezdispenser :
screaming the lyrics of your favorite song, or doing so while driving with all the windows down? (there's only one right answer, i promise)
from pezdispenser :
moore for his movie (i don't like country music actually), but both get props for their war sentiments.
from pezdispenser :
i'm hesitant to believe you, almost as hesitant as you are to update.
from pezdispenser :
but to strangle me and my family would mean to strangle the pastor and his family, and that might prove tomfoolery.
from pezdispenser :
when i was little (meaning i still do this), i would think about the end of the day and wonder how much knowledge i would have gained by then. unfortunately, it was usually a pretty small amount.
from pezdispenser :
this is my project. are you ready? i want to write an analysis on Mary Had A Little Lamb and its correlation with the separation of church and state. what do you think?
from pezdispenser :
i wish i had something interesting to say about my father and his puns, but i'm without. instead, i will take this time to recommend you listen to The Royal Tenenbuams soundtrack. it's a scary perfection.
from arvensis :
burdened with Heavy Reading in the School Library, arvensis chose instead to acknowledge The Internet as a possible source of Diversion. without A Moment's Hesitation, she checked her Email, only to discover that she had a Note at Diaryland. Sitting Alone at the Terminal- er, Monitor- she felt waves of [-um, crap, no, not crap... how 'bout...contentment. No, Joy. no, something less than joy but more than contentment. like relief, except that she that implies that stress preceded it...] as she read the Note left for her by a Friend. fie, back to work.
from autumnal :
lovingly
from pezdispenser :
daniel, if you were to go only where you knew people, you'd still be wearing a placenta. and that's gross.
from pezdispenser :
no way! i can't believe mollie beat me on the analogy quiz. i'm actively deflated.
from ghanima :
yes. Yokosuka. i'll probably teach there, too. My fiance is in the navy...hence the move.
from pezdispenser :
i don't think i like your logic. :) thanks, though.
from pezdispenser :
i know!! what kind of person threatens someone with karma?
from autumnal :
thanks for adding me (interesting caption)
from pezdispenser :
you fail. it's my cat. sigh..... :)
from pezdispenser :
dag nab. i suck. you're just a huge question mark, apparently! ok, here's one for you: what pet of mine has a keen resemblance to satan?
from pezdispenser :
daniel, daniel, daniel. that is true. i believe i'll take your perilous quiz now. also, you are a turkey. not really, but wouldn't THAT make an interesting story?
from ghanima :
Ha! He didn't opt out, I wrestled him for you and won! *beats chest yawp a warlike yawp* I swear I'm getting to it. Soon. Patience, young jedi.
from autumnal :
found you through ghanima ;)
from pezdispenser :
no, not sad at all. :)
from ghanima :
It made my night to learn it made your night to learn...oh, whatever. Nice yoga, pretzel-man. I'm reviewing you for MA, you don't mind not getting your request, do you?
from pezdispenser :
my my my. you've been busy! seems i haven't talked to you in ages. how are you?
from ghanima :
Oh! You listed me under your favourite authors! She writhes, she shivers, she claps her hands with delight! Oh, you...you...darling! You made my night.
from meenabell :
Aah, thank you for the much-too kind words. I have been a fan for a while and even linked one of your entries, but I'm quite the airhead at times, too. Hence, late late late.
from ghanima :
mmm, savoring the "dunes" poem. I love it...warms me at night when I sit down to write with frozen fingers.
from ghanima :
On the trees beyond the Ganges where the watermelons chant. Or you could just come and talk with me, which is all I meant. I blush and grin with the light of your compliments.
from ghanima :
You're welcome, I am glad. Poetry is the blood-jet, as Sylvia said. Come and have ethereal tea with me, and talk. I'll bring the biscuits.
from pezdispenser :
cd or live music? did i already ask this one?
from pezdispenser :
ah, interesting. hypnotism, i guess. i don't know though... the credibility of such is so suspect.
from meenabell :
I find your entries intelligent and very readable, a refreshing twist from the usual crap that is every prolific in Dland. Thank you for writing and letting me fill out your survey. I'll be sure to bookmark your diary for future enjoyment.
from pezdispenser :
ok, and this is important: learning facts about bats from your friend's learned uncle or standing in the breeze after having been hot all day? (the reason it's important is that i did both simultaneously). did i spell that right? oh well.
from pezdispenser :
unsweetened ice tea. jeans that fit. time or newsweek?
from pezdispenser :
i realized just now that i said i was scared of elevators, but i was mistaken in my word choice. instead, i'm a wee bit scared of escalators. end amendment.
from arvensis :
old jeans that are too big, or new jeans that fit?
from pezdispenser :
glass elevators for two reasons: 1) i'm a wee bit scared of elevators. when she was little, my sister's shoelaces were caught in the stair and there was much trauma. 2) glass elevators are absolutely essential to vacation fun. or maybe that's only when you're eleven and you'd give anything to have a pool at the accursed hotel, but there's only a glass elevator. so you ride up and down until the people in the lobby give you wary eyes.
from arvensis :
congratulations! you're right, john henry is better. ginger. not for the taste, for the attitude. and possibly the smell. although garlic has its merits.
from pezdispenser :
grass stains, or those little prickly burr things that get stuck to the cuff of your pants?
from pezdispenser :
well, now sir, that also depends on something. is it nice tickling or fierce, malicious tickling? acutally, in either case i'd take the foot. ew, sick. mental images crashing through my head...
from pezdispenser :
being late for work or wearing damp work clothes (something i'm faced with at this very moment)?
from pezdispenser :
well, see, that's difficult. there's saint george and the dragon, which is my favorite icon. however, there are the unicorn tapestries in the cloistures in new york city. i suppose i'll go with unicorns.
from pezdispenser :
talking christian existentialism with a long lost relative over potato salad, or talking christian existentialism with a long lost relative over macaroni salad?
from pezdispenser :
so, secretly, i don't know the difference between a wet and a dry sauna. though, on a whim, i'd say dry. did you know that the word "moist" is the most disgusting word in the english language?
from arvensis :
moonlight, although it bears no resemblance to moonlight at all. john henry or flood?
from arvensis :
toilet paper is softer, cheaper, and i generally don't feel as guilty ruining it. not that i am particularly sensitive to the feelings of paper products, or anything else, for that matter. the planets... (Holst's Planets)... mars or jupiter?
from pezdispenser :
how the heck is it possible that you've had neither?? were you never eight? Catholic is a denomination of Christianity. catholic means "universal." in the episcopal church we say the Nicene Creed which is a declaration of our beliefs. there's a line that says "we believe in one holy and catholic church," and sometimes people say "we're not Catholic!" and it's ignorant. this was farrrrr more interesting in my head. =)
from pezdispenser :
strawberry shortcake or the magic shell stuff? hm, i've had both within 24 hours. ah, gluttonny.
from pezdispenser :
abysmal, but only because i like to give y the chance to be a vowel as many times as possible.
from arvensis :
ganymede, because wouldn't you rather be the largest of jupiter's moons than the second-largest? a slight drizzle, or rain that drenches you through your very soul?
from arvensis :
glee. cnidarians or gastropods?
from pezdispenser :
i cannot believe you had to ask me. attack of the clones made me want to weep it was so freaking heinous. but spiderman was great. i saw it again last night. the only unfortunate part was the ridiculously awful villain.
from pezdispenser :
pool (as in billiards) or pool (as in marco polo)?
from pezdispenser :
cheese by itself, but in between grapes. ahhh. that actually makes me think of crackers, summer sausage, and sparkling cider. i'm classically conditioned to do so, as that is what we have for dinner every christmas eve. peanut butter does nothing but render one thirsty for milk (unless it is accompanied by green apples or celery).
from arvensis :
removing glass from one's foot- it isn't supposed to be there, and unlike a tetanus shot, should probably be done more than every ten years, if one is in the habit of wandering barefoot, as i am. self-adhesive stamps or lickable ones?
from arvensis :
to be termed "poser" or "wannabe"?
from pezdispenser :
bagels or toast?
from pezdispenser :
the breeze, though it would have to be a regulated degree of steep...ness. i don't like the feeling roller coasters give me. when i was little i was bribed to go on a log ride and i cried the rest of the day.
from pezdispenser :
finding a 5 in your pocket or getting a two sodas instead of one out of the machine?
from pezdispenser :
green because it is the color of grass. purple because it's the color of grapes. but my favorite color is red.
from pezdispenser :
Piaget, because his name is less treacherous.
from pezdispenser :
prom or miniature golf?
from pezdispenser :
ridiculous, because that means there's a greater chance of having a laugh at it in the end. so, i used to always spell it rediculous. blast.
from guildenstern :
Hardly! From what I've read here, I have more of the wild-goose in one of my (half)wits than you have in all your five. Less cryptically, brilliant stuff- I'm thoroughly glad to have discovered it! ('Discovered' in a very loose and quite possibly inaccurate sense, of course.)
from pezdispenser :
used book stores or your grandmother's attic?
from pezdispenser :
puns. though sarcasm has a greater chance of eliciting laughter, it is also more likely to be offensive and harmful to the subject of said sarcasm. puns are my father's specialty.
from espiritu :
tuna. unless its salmon my grandma made. but that hasn't happened since 1998. you can open a can of tuna, but not a can of salmon. i had chicken ziti salad yesterday while reading equus. cars or subways?
from arvensis :
piaget and floss. after all, dentists don't say "brush and pick!" hahaha wouldn't that be funny?
from pezdispenser :
ben folds when it's sunshiny or ben folds when it's rainy?
from pezdispenser :
next year i'm moving to colorado to live with my sister. LALALALALALA
from pezdispenser :
making pill bugs roll up. i don't like hurting.... things. once i cried when i sucked a spider up with the vacuum. i was eight, but it made an impression. (of course, i'm FINE with eating hamburgers)
from espiritu :
i haven't had either dream in a while. but the falling one is much worse to me. the naked-ness one doesn't give me as much anxiety, because nobody seems to notice that i am naked but myself. so its kind of like a secret from the world. hippos or rhinos?
from pezdispenser :
you make me laugh. :)
from pezdispenser :
ice cream at denny's. humming "i know an old lady who swallowed a fly" (i'm citing mollie) or finding old elementary school compositions under your bed?
from pezdispenser :
don't you hatehatehate it when you MEAN to sign your friend daniel's notes and instead sign your own? me too.
from espiritu :
deliberately stepping out of the time with the person walking next to me. ever since i saw dead poets society... talking over hot chocolate at starbucks or over ice ream at dennys?
from pezdispenser :
assiduously stepping on every dry leaf in your path in order to produce a satisfying crackle. i went for a walk in the woods the other day, and did exactly that. i also saw two turtles.
from arvensis :
legislative, because of the opportunity for influence by interest groups. judicial is fine and good, but interest groups are the experts on their respective causes and the legislature is directly responsible to its constituents, while the judicial branch is responsible to the legislature. that was a shortened version. cognitive or humanistic therapy for psychological disorders?
from pezdispenser :
bagels. and lemonade. but not lemonade bagels, because that would be weird. jumping in puddles or looking under rocks?
from espiritu :
lemonade. bagels or donuts?
from pezdispenser :
you like Rhapsody in Blue, and for this you rock.
from arvensis :
gummy bears, without hesitation. secrets or no secrets? run with this one. it's something i've been thinking about. i need extensive opinion.
from espiritu :
ragtime. because you can dance to it, and it doesn't get old. baroque, on the other hand... there is only so much dancing one can do to bach's fugues and vivaldi's continuous redundant lines. baroque is my least favorite period. i am one of those people who like debussy. namely, his nocturnes. now... that said... gershwin or copland?
from pezdispenser :
moulin rouge for the music. shakespeare in love for the shakespeare. but secretly, i wish they had been putting on twelvth night instead.
from pezdispenser :
ha, yeah. it's for a psych project. mollie's my partner. diaryland is a handy storage center. by the way, what did you say in japanese?
from pezdispenser :
hi. you seem.... weary.
from pezdispenser :
i am in no way an advocate of conventional wisdom. and off i go to the opera.
from pezdispenser :
colored chalk. it doesn't stick to your fingers, and if it DOES, it's far more charming than sticky fingers.
from pezdispenser :
steadfastness. though flexibility is important in that the absense of it renders one an impossibility of a human, steadfastness is the basis of relationships. you need to be yourself always, not just when you think the other person will be amused or appeased by you being so. does that make as little sense as i think it does?
from pezdispenser :
honesty or kindness?
from arvensis :
renaissance or romantic period?
from arvensis :
the bathwater, and this is why: it's possible to convince yourself that the person was exceedingly clean and moreover, he only bathed the fingernail of his right pinky, in twenty gallons of water... the grease, however, has no hope.
from arvensis :
take a bath with a man-eating shark, or wrestle a lion alone in the dark?
from arvensis :
actually, i must correct you. seesaws are much worse, unless you completely trust the other person with your heart, soul, mind, body, and everything in general. because if not, he will jump off when he's at the bottom, and you will fall crashing to the ground. which is not to say that if you trust the person, this will not happen, but that if it does happen, it's ok, because it's part of the bargain. even worse, you could drop the other person, sending him crashing to the ground. no one deserves to be dropped, sometimes it just happens. at least on the swings, if you fall out, it's your own (and indisputable) fault.
from arvensis :
wow, speaking of misinterpretation... um, i knew you didn't mean that literally, i was only teasing. sorry. it was excellent humour, very creative use of imagery. secondly, i know for sure that you are a good person, or else i wouldn't have made light of, or questioned your er... goodness. friends?
from pezdispenser :
nah, it's all good. except for the fact that you must use regular sprite. diet sprite is against god's plan i think. have a nice day today.
from pezdispenser :
yes, i will give a better answer. it's like this: when you sip cranberry juice with orange juice (and sometimes sprite) it's like being hugged all day.
from espiritu :
yes, cranberry juice. its good, and soothes the soul. best with orange juice, (and on special occassions, sprite as well) is it the juice of the gods. decadent, really. ask liz. but dont ask cary. liz will give a better answer. =)
from espiritu :
we are out of cranberry juice.
from espiritu :
confusion. apathy or stressed?
from pezdispenser :
illlllhenen. that's the sound of indecision. ummmmmmm.....
from pezdispenser :
and that is daaaaaangerous ground you tread, sir!
from pezdispenser :
haha, i didn't mean to misspell that. :)
from pezdispenser :
i've never had sushi. but today i ate some random chinese food that had seaweed in it. it made me want to retch. it tasted like the smell of an aquarium. oh yeah, i've never had dim dum either.
from arvensis :
clear blue skies. because it's too windy for clouds at the beach. also, clouds mean rain and rain means cold. and cold is dumb. spiral notebooks or composition books?
from espiritu :
jaywalking. because that means that i am mostly likely in downtown annapolis or baltimoer or DC with one (or more) of my favorite people at my side. speeding usually just means that i am late. tire swings or see-saws?
from arvensis :
dim sum. clean or... comfortable? ok, maybe that's biased...
from espiritu :
simple. drums. or, more specifically, the steering wheel. which is indeed a percussive instrument. 3 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon?
from pezdispenser :
ben folds or ben folds five? [i know this is uncommonly hard]
from pezdispenser :
flavor. but texture is important. it's the reason i can't stomach water chestnuts.
from pezdispenser :
music or lyrics?
from pezdispenser :
fantasy, except for c.s. lewis' space trilogy
from pezdispenser :
tweedle dee or tweedle dum?
from pezdispenser :
care free. ah, if only you knew how much i am...
from pezdispenser :
hey, how come we stopped this? dizzyingly intelligent or uproariously funny?
from espiritu :
thanks for the note. nobody's ever said it to me like that before... and... thank you.
from pezdispenser :
my man. but i don't know why. :)
from pezdispenser :
trampolines or tire swings?
from pezdispenser :
you picked the right one, and for this i congratulate you. which one would i prefer to watch? probably a root canal. to participate in? hmmmmmmm. that IS a tough one.
from pezdispenser :
i suddenly realized i never answered three of your questions. picard, for the accent and earl grey. teriyaki is delicious, and i've truthfully never eaten sushi, but i would anticipate hating it because i don't like fish. ham is eh but turkey is ick. peanut butter and jelly is better. strawberry or grape? careful, there's only one right answer.
from pezdispenser :
rambunctious makes me think of a polka-dotted girl jumping into a lake of lily pads and frogs.
from pezdispenser :
harry potter was one of the most addicting books i've read (except, of course, for calvin and hobbes). lord of the rings, however, is literature.
from arvensis :
fingerpainting or collaging?
from arvensis :
rambunctious. reminds me of loud kids. who happen to be my favorite people. not abominable. because it reminds me of some cartoon- "the abominable snowman" was the phrase, i believe. it was hideous. and abominable. and i had nightmares. although i think i don't use this word enough. that's abominable.
from espiritu :
havent read either book (i know... i know...) and have only seen harry potter. perhaps lord of the rings will come tomrorow and i can answer you then. perhaps not. alright: crying... 'leave me alone' or 'give me a hug'?
from espiritu :
mosh pit or ballroom?
from espiritu :
orange juice. apples with peanut butter. orange slices. bobbing for apples. really, the two can not be compared. wow... one could almost create a cliched all encompassing statement out of that idea... too bad its already been done.
from arvensis :
you are intelligent.
from pezdispenser :
mischivus
from pezdispenser :
serenity at night, when you're lying on your roof and singing along with a guitar. excitement when you're waltzing to 'bittersweet symphony' in a basement.
from arvensis :
Miss Chee-vee-ous. when i nine i used to tell people that that was my name, and i thought it was the best pun EVER.
from arvensis :
should i, or not? (you don't need details; that's the question.)
from arvensis :
sem-ee-colon or sem-eye-colon?
from espiritu :
celtic folk music. we danced to it today, it was great. shoes, brown or black?
from pezdispenser :
how come rome seems so far away from italy?
from pezdispenser :
ooooh, that is so hard. in ireland they place a chair outside the door so that visitors will know they're welcome. in rome they have.....rome. hmm... mollie taught me how to do a real ellipsis. this is how. . .
from pezdispenser :
nah, umbrellas are meant to be swung about madly while you hum fanfare for the common man (but using nonsensical la la la noises are acceptable as well) in torrents of rain. (and it doesn't matter if the rain is cold; there is no greater joy than jumping in puddles)
from pezdispenser :
you underestimate umbrellas.
from arvensis :
umbrella or raincoat?
from arvensis :
star wars. i don't like tv.
from pezdispenser :
chamomile or hot chocolate? with whipped cream? and sprinkles? chocolate, of course...
from arvensis :
so do i! cats. my cat can swim.
from espiritu :
hot dogs for an after school snack, hamburgers for fourth of july. east coast or west coast? (we're both probably biased on this one...)
from pezdispenser :
snow day or first day of vacation?
from pezdispenser :
i'm so sorry, i have absolutely no clue who either one is. are? blast, i hate not being grammatically confident
from arvensis :
by sea or by sky?
from espiritu :
J.S. of course! Schumann or Schubert?
from arvensis :
i DID do my homework, Mr. Daniel, although i'm not sure the two are mutually exclusive.... but thanks for the exercise, i must admit i second-guessed myself
from espiritu :
since i was ten. making it... seven years.
from pezdispenser :
i really do like jane austen better, if only for mansfield park. but this really is a conversation to be had over tea. and crumpets.
from arvensis :
she likes jane austen better. you are myrmecophagous.
from espiritu :
if only you still played the violin. we could have jammed together when you come in the spring.
from pezdispenser :
i promise to write about jane austen and emily dickinson as soon as i produce a rough copy of a term paper about the effects of sleep deprivation on students.
from pezdispenser :
riiiiight, so would you rather be simon or garfunkle? choose wisely.
