"Do you know where I'll be this weekend? The Lane family reunion. Dozens of Lanes from all over the country converging in one Midwestern split level to remind themselves why they scattered in the first place." -Jane LaneToday while sitting on the bus, waiting for it to leave, there was this couple right in front of my window. He was on his bike and clearly about to leave, but he was putting it off for as long as possible to smooch his girlfriend over and over, in between talking. Not I'm-swallowing-your-tongue type of kissing, something in the middle, just over and over again in a playful way. And at one point he kissed her hand (awwww) . . . as you can see by the awwww, for once it did not affect me the way that it always does, with nausea. Nooo, instead I felt the ol' envy bubblin' up. That I want to be able to do that, just kiss a guy on campus between classes playfully, go around holding hands (like another couple I saw), etc. Many people did that in high school. Many do it in college. I have never done that. Sure, I've had my involvements, but except for a short period of time, never with someone I was in school with (and when we were in school together we were not doing that). Hell, I haven't even held hands with a guy since Hawaii (I know, what a surprise- when I find where I put my Hawaii stuff I'll explain that). I have never had the experience that so many others have had, and I strongly suspect that I never will. Can't I have the simple enjoyment of the school boyfriend (or any non-jerkoff boyfriend)? Why not?
Megan's leaving today early too!!!! Yay!!! They're all out of my hair!!! I don't know about K and K, but they have a happy thanksgiving sign on their door, my guess is that they'd be gone too. I've got the place back all to myself again, before they moved in and the "fun" started (ah, remember those days?).
A week ago now I was hanging around with Remington. And now I'm sitting here trying to figure out the newsgroup response of his.

Mornington Crescent!!!!
Huh??? I completely don't get it, unless he's making up more nonsense. But I don't want to put back, "Uh, what? I don't get it." Doesn't work to do that in a game.
I put "Whangdoodle" back, wonder if anyone'll figure THAT one out.
(later update: another girl added in "farfegnugen.")
In the continuing chat with Matt, I am rather puzzled by two things:
#1: I couldn't get the ucd irc to work from his instructions. I think I was in some made-up room or something, 'cause no one was in it.
#2 is from the e-mail:
-And the difference between hassling in e-mail and in irc is?...
Call it a stupid personal bias, but hassling in irc is less intrusive in my opinion :) Emailing crap like "Are you mad at me?" is like spam almost! (especially being I don't know him well enough!)..
Okay, now let's remember how our e-mail conversation began. He e-mailed me to ask if I was mad at him. HELLO???????? He didn't know me half as well as a guy he doesn't know well enough . . .
Wait, let's reread that last sentence: He didn't know me half as well as a guy he doesn't know well enough . . .
Hmmmm, is that a sign of interest there? He can get up the nerve if it's a girl? Hmmm.
Right now I've developed a new hobby: downloading Daria stuff. I came up with the brilliant idea to take a Daria and alter her to look like me (hey, I said we looked alike). I don't have a scanner, but basically, this is what I look like:
"Tonight I was watching Ally McBeal (yes I do like the show...a lot). The beginning of the episode was all about Ally being thankful about things that I could completely relate to. She gritted her teeth and said she was thankful for having a full life, for having somebody to love, for not wanting a man or needing one, for all the millions and millions of awful men that she didn't need or want, for not having her back tickled in so long that I can't remember what it feels like, and thankful for Thanksgiving and knowing that Christmas comes next."While I am not feeling that negative, I am a little mopey over the man thing. But I am surprisingly not that bad. When my Spotfans post for tomorrow goes up, you'll see why. Look, me being positive, what a shock!
Sometimes nothing seems more tragic than the thought that two people
who madly, passionately love each other just cannot so much as
speak to each other or be friends. That is just so tragically sad
to me.
Yes, I saw Buffy. Whyever did you ask?
Wow, what a gut-wrenching episode (and I don't just mean Cordelia getting impaled either).
* Spike getting dumped by Drusilla- yay! I hate her, what a nucking
futcase. And wow, didn't he go bonkers in sympathy.
* Willow doing a "delusting spell"- I can't tell you HOW much I've always
wanted one of these! Every crush of mine needed this!!! And she didn't
even get to complete it!!! Aaargh!
* And wow, that clinch. They were HOT this episode. But poor Cordelia
and Oz.
* Especially poor Cordelia getting IMPALED . . . ugh! I was sooo scared
she was going to die, with that whole "I can't see you"/cut to the
funeral bit. Thanks for scaring us, Joss!
* And Buffy and Angel not being even friends . . . how heartbreaking.
Felicity: That falling in love again is MY THEME SONG, I swear. I must find it, I must buy it, IMMEDIATELY.
STEAMY clinches! Yay! Hot hot hot, plus a breakup! Nice of them to not make Hannah a villian . . . but they're incompatible 'cause she bought a PC? God, you Mac people are obsessed. I'll use either one but own PC 'cause that's what Dad pays for.
Well, it's hard to imagine that it's my last update here for a few days. Doubt I'll get to it this weekend. Ah, getting away from the bimbos for days on end, eating real food, and having the odors of it mingle with the smell of Granddaddy's BO across the table . . . don't you just love Thanksgiving with my family?
Those who choose to e-mail best do so pretty soon, as I'm splitting Wed. night.
