I swear I say the least of anyone...and yet I'm quoted the most? How the h-e-l-l is that possible? >;-)
---Will on my recent quote update
Oh, and today? I'm going to a tupperware party because I have nothing better to do with my life. AAARGH.
---Anya
Your heart is on your sleeve, Kerika.
---Allie
ROTFLOL ... yes, no one's pissy at all around here. Not you. Not me. No
one. We're just FINE. *cough* ;)
---Julie
Keith: Here’s Keith. Giving out gift ideas.
Keri: Here’s Keith. Thinks he’s actually going to GET a gift in the first place.
---Keith and I about Christmas
why is a memory so real and so far away. i'm sorry, but a good memory doesn't leave me with as real a happiness as a sad memory leaves me with a real aching.
---mons
I hate your work and I hate my work and GRR! I'M SO CHRISTMAS-Y! Can't you just tell? *cough*
---Julie
What would you like to have in 2005 that you lacked in 2004?
Sex. And money. (Would you pay to have sex with me?)
---Becker
Just say no to anything in the -quil family!
---Allie about my loopiness on Day/Nyquil
Unlike my knitting-obsessed sister, I cannot get beyond a simple scarf. She has not only done scarves, but hats, purses and this week, made a pair of gloves! Arrgh. And she says she's not creative. Bah.
---Karen
Gah! This whistling is really creepy! They were just whistling "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and you KNOW I'm going to be dreaming about someone whisting that song when they kill me or something. And the saws that they're using aren't helping either!! GAH! I'm going to have nightmares tonight! ...I am in no way freaking out.... *cough* ... *hides*
---Julie about the men working around her apartment
Dinner last night (prime rib) was terrific. I know Martha could not have done better! (Okay, granted, since she's in jail her resources are limited, and that helped TREMENDOUSLY!)
---Anya
*cries* Why am I the oldest!? I got 29 which is OLDER than me!
---Julie about the “What Age are you Really” quiz
The quiz told me that I am 27! HA HA HA!
I assume the quiz didn't put me in my 30s because I'm not in a relationship. Well BAH to you, quiz, because I'm 709 years old!
---Allie about the Age quiz
Bah. I am not taking this quiz, so therefore I shall die painfully. :-) You may be evil, but so am I.
---Karen
I assured Kyle that our parents really do love him less than Alyssa, who got more presents than him. I am a super older sister.
---Kristen
Keri: Man, you need to read this book. I’d recommend it to you, if only you were a lesbian.
Julie: Now I feel left out because I’m not a lesbian. Can non-lesbians read it?
---Julie and Keri on the phone while discussing important lesbian literature, ie “Curious Wine”
It does sound a little like he's using you. See, he makes time to see you when it's convenient for *him*. They're all pigs. Let's just sum it up at that. By the way, I highly advocate avoiding him for a little while. Let him wonder where you went... after all, why should you go out of your way to spend time with him when he doesn't do the same for you?
---Karen on a “men are pigs” streak when I was upset at Josh back in the day, hee! [Yes, I was reading old emails. Sue me. :-p]
I await the day I see something of yours published. All of your poems are just too beautiful and touching, they deserve to be shared with the world. And especially because they all speak from the heart and are about stuff we all go through.
---Queenie
Us Oregonians that get drenched with the rain 9mo. of the year, look forward to others that live in sunny states and who can bottle up that sunshine and send out through emails and correspondence. You've done that quite nicely.
---Stacey
God, we really are quite a pair, aren't we? A pair of bright fluffy cheer. Hooray. How anyone can be in retail and still enjoy the holidays is beyond me.
---Julie
yeah, see, i'm still getting it, and in this last part, you are so in my head that i feel i should put up a firewall or something. ;)
---mons about a poem of mine called “Words Left Unsaid”
Cause no one is perfect... A person has to see the beauty in their partner or the relationship will never work... The flaws are to be forgiven and over looked and the beauty concentrated on...
---Dillon
So, once again, we had a lovely indulgent Christmas and everyone received something that made them go "oooh!". The Fat-Man in the Red Suit (or his subcontracted deal with my mother) was yet again a success. (You don't say there is no Santa to my mother. Oh no. Not pretty. Don't go there.)
---Anya
But I love my Keri Bearie!! *hugs* *hugs* Know what I need right now? You to watch Queer as Folk with all day. Seriously, that's all we'd do - veg and watch TV and maybe have some Chick-Fil-A for lunch, and life would be good *grin*
---Julie
Oww, my cheeks. Not my butt cheeks.
---Keri
You know, your addiction to that song scares me greatly.
---Karen to me about listening to BoA’s “Duvet” way too much
"Falling and Rising" sounds kind of like someone who has trouble maintaining an erection. But seriously.
---W i l l about my novel, lol
You know, it's really too bad that you don't like Claire at all. ;-) Kidding!
---Allie
Yes! We both have off work tomorrow! :) :) TOTALLY! We need to call each other and talk and run and jump and play and oh dear god, the caffeine has kicked in. TOO BAD I'M NOT AT WORK! *cough* ;)
---Julie
I did dance at a lesbian bar once (and asked the DJ to play "The Bad Touch" by The Bloddhoundgang. OK, that was before I knew it was a lesbian bar. Not surprisingly, they didn't have the song. hehehe
---Becker
You’d think they’d be so proud! But really, they’re just ashamed.
---Keri (to Julie) about how Anya, Karen, and Queenie must feel about our rise of evilness ;)
Someone who isn't scared of the edge is not brave if one chooses it.
---Kristen
See how hard it is to be your friend?
---Julie to me as I make things difficult for myself and think too much
As you walk the path of God's purpose for your life, remember:
There is a destiny that makes us family;
No one walks life's road alone.
All that we send into the lives of others
Comes back into our own.
You are such an effervescent personality! Your enthusiam for life is contagious.
---Rick
My back? She be VERY sore right now. She and I are going to try the hot-bath solution for some comfort. Because, if she doesn't smarten up, I'm divorcing her.
---Anya
I'm very impressed with your writing and am esp. amazed at how you are able to write at the level that youth identify with your writing style in your novel. That is a rare and needed skill. Many writers write "childrens'" books or those aimed at youth, but forget how to relate to them through their own language and thought processes.
---Stacey about “Falling and Rising”
*nods* She's just so helpful! Fluffy bunny helpful! So helpful you're
going to push her off a cliff helpful!
---Julie
"And there went that stomach flip again" - Sheesh. Her stomach sure flips a lot. Maybe Kendra has acid reflux or something. There are drugs for that, you know.
---W i l l about my novel
I SO need to be put away. Hermit was a much better lifestyle. :-p
---Keri to Julie
that was funny, cause i was in the middle of telling you something--nothing important of course, more sleepy time nonsense--and then slam.... i felt SOOO rejected! *lol* i was like "what did i say! she must have been very tired.... i hope......" and then after a while i finally signed off. ha ha ha ha ha ha..... *ahem*
---monsie when my net connection made AIM close down
You know, I used to complain all the time that I had no life - now with the job, I still have no life. How does that figure? *cough*
---Julie
"Shit!" - Ooh, Keri cussed!
---W i l l
Today, Anya was very proactive and busy! Busy, busy, busy! (And she's now in the 3rd person 'cause she's in a mooooooood!)
---Anya
The other one...Merry was all excited about her name, lol...forgot it when we were talking while working, but checked it on our break. The girl's name is Scarlet. Isn't that the coolest name? :) LOL, next you know I'm going off to Merry about how I'm probably going to become obsessed with her name. Hi Scarlet. How are you doing Scarlet? Do you need some help with that, Scarlet? Let me show you how to work that, Scarlet. Scarlet? Oh nothing, I just wanted to say your name again. LOL, she's going to want to quit after a week! ;) I'm just kidding, I really wouldn't do that, but I love her name. Scarlet. LOL. Now if she has red hair, ooooooh. LOL. I'll shut up, really. :-p
---Keri’s obsession with the name Scarlet, lol
It's funny that you describe yourself as long-winded, because I often find myself apologizing to friends, family, and the overworked gentleman at the post office for my highly detailed stories. Somehow though every detail has a purpose and adds breath to the story. Without descriptions I find things become trite and quickly dismissed of their significance.
---Stacey
Last thing: When are Kendra and Bree gonna get it on already? Come on.
---W i l l wanting action in my novel, lol
I would be so up for it! Besides all of us finally being able to get together and meet, I'll take any excuse to visit Florida (and namely the beaches). Will sleeping in the bathtub, huh? I'll remember to bring my camera. =)
---Queenie in response to Julie and my idea for all of us friends to meet up in Florida once and for all
Julie: KERI IS A LESBIAN!!
Keri: Yeah well, you're a tosser!! Don't make me throw you in the bathroom with Will!! ;)
---Julie and Keri on my LJ
I so do not want to know about Will in the bathtub. I don't think it's a very uh.. pleasant.. picture in my head.
---Karen
Um, the only thing I can say about the Will thing, is that it's in regards to sleeping arrangements. If we say anymore, he might not come.
---Julie
OK, so I thought you told me that you were now a lesbian back when I first learned of this because the man parts just weren't doing it for you. See, you did admit to it, but you forgot. hehehe
---Becker
You know you're a Livejournal addict when...
Yesterday was terrible. TERRIBLE! No LJ since Friday night... a dog who was in a mood (and based on the whine I just now received hasn't left it behind yet)... and did I mention no LJ?
---Anya about when LJ was down for a couple of days
An announcement:
Keri is fab!
---Nathan ... hee hee! I'm fab! Hee! *all goofy*
NO!!! MERCURY NEEDS TO STAY OUT OF RETROGRADE!!! FOREVER!!! THIS SUCKS!
*cough* No issues *cough*
---Julie upon my news that Mercury was going into retrograde on August 9th :-p
Keri: I already got W i l l in the bag with Jessica... now let's get ya'll reeled in with Bradley.
W i l l: I'd like to be in the bag with her. >;-)
---W i l l and I as I tried to convince people to watch Jack and Bobby
I know you're sick when you're drinking ginger ale.
---Allie ... (Ahh, the knowledge of a best bud.)
I refuse to let work rule my life anymore. It's just not worth it.
---Karen ... AMEN.
GRR! I am so *cough* mad right *cough* now *sniffle*
You know what? DILLON GOT ME SICK! JULIE SMASH! *wheeze*
Sore throat? Check.
Stuffy nose? Check.
Fever? Check.
AWAKEN AT 5:15am? Check *sob*
---Julie
I do what I can to waste my time, and the time of others.
---Anya
#*&$@*&#$? That's more symbols than for "ass." I have to wonder what the west nile virus can kiss.
---W i l l
Keri: It was HUGE. And red. I don't believe I've seen a red mosquito before. Brown, black, but not red. Eww. But it's now squished and in the acid of my dog's stomach! Mwahahaha!
Queenie: Acid of your dog's stomach? You fed it to your dog????!!! Ewwwwwwww........
Glad to see the RT is still around, even if she has decided to take it out on mosquitoes instead.
---Queenie and I on my LJ about my mosquito kill and my Resident Terrorist-like actions ;)
If everyone expressed their gratitude everyday - and it was genuine - the world would be a happier place.
---Allie
ROTFLOL!! Sweet! You're using that icon! *cough* She's quite ... endowed. I think I may be a breast girl *cough*
*dies* Now WHY did I just say that!? *smacks self*
---Julie about my “caution boobs” icon
It's like you're a ho trying to get money from her pimp.
---Will about my travel agent commission problems
LOL! Ah, nothing I like seeing better than porn accusations being thrown at Keri. ;)
---Becker
The happy days better get here friggin SOON!!!
---Julie
Satan and distractions go hand in hand rotfl. I am not a Christian but I do understand this! ;) :-D
---Kate
We both just got gang-banged by Mercury in retrograde!
---Julie about our respective arguments
I would PAY big money to see Alex in a Catwoman costume. *nod* Yes, I would! ;)
---Anya
W i l l: So, looks like I'd come as myself....
Keri: Beware though... if you're a psycho clown, there's a good chance I could steal the knife from Karen and chase you down. ;)
*shudder* I hate clowns. ;)
---W i l l and I on my LJ about a Halloween quiz that said he was a psycho clown
(Hold up gold pocket watch and starts swinging it back and forth in front of you) You are feeling up to it. You want to go out. You want to have a good time. You want to see cute chicks with guitars. ;)
---Becker trying to convince me to go out ;)
Something happened this morning that only you could appreciate - I'm going to and from the dumpster to get rid of ALL THE BOXES I have around here. Nothing strange with that. But you see, this apartment complex is going through some renovations so there's a lot of Mexican workers around. So I'm going back and forth, keep passing the Mexican workers and all of a sudden, I feel eyes on me and turn around.
They're all checking me out! *dies* And they catcalled me! *DIES* They were saying stuff like, "Woohoo! Lookin' good!" *DIES AGAIN*
---Julie ... (lol, it’s all about the curves m’dear. The curves get the catcalls. :-p)
It's good that you're proud of being 30 now, because you will be 30 again, and you'll probably feel old and lame then. :D
--Kristen on how I got 30% on her “how much do you know about me” quiz...brat :-p
Doesn't work just totally suck, especially if you're in retail? You should gripe to Anya. Heh. Since she used to work in retail, in the candy & toy depts. Try working *there* at Christmas!
---Karen
Pre-conceived notions, self-fulfilling prophecies... It's dangerous. If you (the general generic "you") look for something, it will be there. If you think someone is being sarcastic, you 'hear' or 'read' that person in that tone, even if he/she is being sincere, because you are in that mindset.
---Allie
Heh. See, yeah. Satan hasn't counted on how stubborn zee Keri Bearie Wearie is *grins*
---Julie on my poem, “The Deceiver”
It's a ploy designed by therapists to keep psychologists and psychiatrists in business.
Get drunk. The pain will recede.
---Anya about my parents talking about when they had sex
Queenie: Hmm... I'm not usually that type of person, but I think I would like to see what W i l l looks like those undies.
W i l l: Why does everyone want to see me in my underwear?
Keri: Because you look so sexy in flowers. ;)
---Queenie, W i l l, and I on my LJ about Will’s flower-y undies
It's all drawn out cause I keep squeeing and pausing and giggling - so yes, when you finally get it, watch the extras!
And OMG, DAN IS SO CUTE!! EEE!
Man ... I'm so not going to sleep anytime soon *cough*
---Julie on the Harry Potter 3 DVD
Sounds like you are struggling a bit with some things. At the same time, it seems as if you are trying to stay grounded and centered on who God is and who you are. I like the last line "I'm NOT going to break". It is resolute and definitive! There is an internal power that is displayed in those words. Even when life gets difficult - and it WILL get difficult - you still have a choice. That is the amazing gift God gave us and only us - the power of free will. We can choose to be faithful. We can choose to have a positive attitude. We can choose to persevere. We can choose to stay focused.
I'm not sure what you have been through in recent days, but I do know that GOD is faithful and he will give you the strength and grace to make it through!
---Stacie about a poem of mine
I'm a little wary about replying to this post because what if I say something and you're all like, "I said I just wanted someone to listen to me, not give me @#$% advice and @#$% solutions!"
"But I was just saying...."
"I could give two @#$%s what YOU were saying! I need someone to listen to MEEE!"
---W i l l about my post about wanting someone to listen and not give advice
I can see, touch, smell, speak and hear. I can dance, sing, laugh, talk, and move. I can think, communicate, imagine, create and observe. I can be a part of something. I am a part of something. I can be impatient with the speed of life, but I wouldn't wish it to go any faster. I am grateful to be alive. I am thankful for what I have. I am happy to be who I am.
---Allie on Thanksgiving
You're looking back on it and you're just all, I can't believe that's how I was. And that's the key -- was. I keep on being awestruck on how much you've changed Keri. How far you've come on your road to self-discovery and fulfillment. *hugs you* I love you so very much :)
---Julie
If you eat enough sweet relish, it starts to taste like soap. (for the curious)
---Kristen
Keri: *laughs* Yes it would be-- I was always very embarrassed by my pens. ;)
Julie: *chokes* *dies* ... *dies again* I misread pens as penis! I'm going, well .. Keri's embarassed by her penis. Makes sense ...... WHAT!!???? *cough* *dies even more*
Keri: LOL!!! Makes sense?!?!?! NOW I HAVE A PENIS?!?!?
Julie: *dies*
Julie: I'm sorry! That's just how I read it!
Julie: Well after I thought the makes sense part, I realized, Umm ... she said PENS!! Not penis! Pens!
Keri: LOL but the fact that it would MAKE SENSE is what bothers me! I do not have a penis!!! LOL
Julie: I'm going, well if I had a penis, I'd sure be embarrased about it too! That's why I thought it made sense!!
Julie: I'm going, my Keri is random tonight :-)
Keri: LOL you're the one who's random apparently!
Julie: Now on top of everything else, Keri's always embarassed by her penis!
---Julie and I in an AIM convo about chewed up pen caps
Breathe... Breath is life.
---Keri when laughing too hard
OH MY GOD! The penis quote! I should just bury myself in the backyard right NOW. That'll compete with the Clark Sperm quote! *hits head*
---Julie upon hearing that I was quoting the “penis” quote
THEY'RE DEMISING MEL AND LINDS!?!!!??!!!
---Julie on Queer as Folk
I then preceded to check Livejournal, email, and in the nature of work... processed three cheques that arrives. (Big monies. BIG. Just shy of $100,000. If ONLY I could deposit that into MY account...)
---Anya
LOL!! YES! THE INFLATABLES ARE DEFLATING! Heee!!! *cough* What? I find this very amusing. Yes I do.
---Julie about my breasts :-p
Well, you see, the thing about inflatables, self inflated, not store/doctor inflated, is that they have a lot to do with the old body fat thingy and when that goes down, so do they, and vice versa (or the opposite). Now, there are two other ways of deflation, neither you have done, to the best of our knowledge, which are doctor deflating and the Jennifer Connelly method. She claims hers deflated after she had her kid. The moral of the story is, if you meet someone and fall in love and decide to have kids - A) adopt, or B) have her have them. While genuine inflatables are not exactly an endangered species, they should, however, be preserved and cherished. It's the American way, by golly.
---Becker’s speech on boobies, lol
It's just ... this past year, I've seen you struggle to turn yourself around. And you really have. But the thing is, you don't stop trying to make yourself better/happier. You keep on striving and damn if that doesn't take some guts and courage. The fact that you refuse to stagnate, refuse to settle for anything less than what you could be, for anything less than what will make you happy and fulfilled, is what makes me proud of you *glomps you*
---Julie
I AM NOT NOSY! I just like keeping informed.
---Julie
When you said "98 degrees," I suddenly realized what a poor decision it was of the band 98 Degrees to not pick a higher degree. Wouldn't you want your name to suggest "you're gonna catch this fever, baby," not "we're gonna make you feel like you're at room temperature, baby"?
---Kristen
Gay sex makes me think of Keri!
---Julie explaining why she paused Queer as Folk during a sex scene to call me because she thought of me ;)
You get called a phone sex operator, and I get called a seagull. How sad is that?
---Keri in response to Julie saying she sounded like a seagull on the phone ;)
There really are no words for how proud I am of you -- just when I think I couldn't be prouder, you go and surprise me again *grins*
---Julie
Keri: Aren't you ALWAYS a naughty Julie Bulie? I thought that just kinda came along with the package that is you. Sex operator voice and all. LOL. ;)
Julie: AND WOULD YOU JUST BE QUIET ABOUT THE SEX OPERATOR THING!! People could HEAR! ;)
Keri: *smirk* Apparently enough people have already heard.
*ducks* ;)
Julie: ...I hate you.
---Julie and Keri on Keri’s LJ
What's funny is people who have never been DVD diving at Wal-Mart think it's silly and a waste of time. When you talk about it, they roll their eyes. They say yeesh. They blow air through their teeth. But get 'em over to a Wal-Mart. Get 'em to that discount DVD bin. Then you'll see.
"Oh man, there's an America's Sweethearts at the bottom! I love John Cusack--even when he's in crap! Help me dig!"
---W i l l
Keri, I can practice at being a lesbian...
---Julie trying to convince me to be in a relationship with her
Heee!!!
"Keri what did you do today?"
"I looked at a book called Pleasures With Your Tongue."
"...."
ROTFLOL .. I love it when you have to do something with the sex books! Heee ;)
---Julie about my workday at Borders in the Sex section, lol
Patience is a virtue. Or so they say. Who are they anyway? hehehe
---Becker
Mercury, please hurry up and get out of retrograde.
---Julie
Julie to me: *fluffs you*
Becker: Hmm, I thought a fluffer was person who, um, fluffs, a body part that Keri doesn't have?
I'm being bad today. hehehe
Julie: ROTFLOL!
Um, yes. That's what a fluffer does in the PORN industry.
We, however, use it as a term like um ... like you would fluff up a pillow or um fluff up a cat. WE ARE NOT IN THE PORN INDUSTRY. Well, I'm not. You can never be sure about Keri.
Becker: Keri in the porn industry? Hmm. That redifines Travel Agent a bit, doesn't it. ;) And what section of a Borders should she really be in?
Julie: *nods* Yeah, Keri's a kinky one. *COUGH* LOL!! I swear, you are BAD! ;) She really works in the "blue" section of Borders if you know what I mean ;)
Becker: Keri's just gonna love this conversation. hehehe And yes, I know what you mean. :)
Keri finally sees the conversation: I AM NOT A FLUFFER!!
Er...
*cough*
Although at least I know what a fluffer is. I did not need to be informed by anyone for once, lol.
Hehehe, but it really would redefine the term "travel agent" wouldn't it? "Oh I travel alright." :-p
I'm not in porn!!
Or at least that's what I want you to think.... *smirk* ;)
Julie: LOL! I KNEW IT!!!!
ROTFLOL! "Travel Agent Keri: Volumes 1 and 2: See *just* how far Keri will go to get the sale!"
*dies*
Keri: LOL, you figured out my secret... darn. ;)
ROTFLOL!! Oh good Lord! "That will be an extra service fee, please"... good Lord... LOL
*watches the vultures circle Julie Bulie in her decomposing state*
*ducks* ;)
---Becker, Julie, and I on my LJ about the term "fluff"
You laid your heart on the line. That's not an easy thing to do, by any
means. You took a huge risk Keri. But I'm proud that you could do it.
That you could lay it all out there. Not everyone can.
---Julie
I am retaining water like there's no tomorrow. Like the universe decided to drain all the oceans and lakes and put all the water INSIDE MY BODY *cough*
---Julie
I've decided that if this was the wrong choice... big whoop. I'll just change that.
I have a lot of respect for you, Ker, you're trying to do exactly what you want, and I don't think one can really do anything more.
---Kristen
But now I'm here with Keri and eeeee!!! I'm so happy and excited. And apparently, I'm easy *glares at Keri* ;)
---Julie about visiting me in CA
What if Keri wanted me to zoom in on her chest?
---Julie
Kristen: She's too hot for you :P
W i l l: I'll wear oven mitts.
Kristen: Pussy. She needs a real man. Men don't wear oven mitts.
W i l l: MEN'S HEALTH RECOMMENDS OVEN MITTS AS A "RECIPE FOR ROMANCE" AND TO "IMPRESS YOUR DATE"
I guess the "Kiss the Cook" apron is probably out of the question then.
---Kristen and W i l l as Will was trying to hit on Kristen's friend
She kicked my ass in skee ball and in air hockey ... but I still had fun :) I was laughing at my badness!
---Julie about our day at Santa Monica Pier
I miss Keri Bearie Wearie so so much :) I got used to the babe! I was trying to think of a way I could combine her, my apartment, and Dillon into one really cool .... thing ..... and I'd be so happy! My favorite things all in one place! But it was pointed out to me (rightfully so) that this scenario doesn't sound as innocent as I thought it would be. So that idea got nixed :(
---Julie upon returning from visiting me
I’m boiling. Not with an egg (not that I would get boiled with an egg- my foot alone barely fits in a pot), but more like with an angry intensity.
---Kristen
Spent! Because Keri has a penis!
---Julie after rereading the penis quote
I would like to publicly announce that Anya's the poppyseed of evil!
---Julie
Keri and Julie You're both grounded. And you both know why.
---Anya after our “Anya is a mini-me evil” spree in her LJ
So Anya is now the Queen of the Poppyseeds???
Okay.... not gonna go there. So not gonna go there.
---Karen
I can't believe Keri is campaigning for lesbian sex on Angel!
That's my job!
Or Alex's.
---Will
Now, here's how to get out that pent up anger!:
Step One- grab a pillow with your arm. Not that you'd grab a pillow with your leg.
Step Two- extend the pillow into the air.
Step Three- Now you may a) throw it at your door, or b) smack it on your bed as hard as you can- continuously!-until you've wasted your energy and you are too tired to be thinking of anger, only sleeping. Well, now that the pillow is a pile of feathers, you must understand that you would need a 'spare.' Heh heh!... heh... ahem.
Step Four- watch a) Innocence, b) Passion, c) I Only Have Eyes For You, or d) Becoming- Parts 1 & 2 (or all of them!)- you'll realize that you have it better than other... imaginary people. Or, to lighten the mood, pop The Puppet Show or Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered into that good old VCR of yours.
Step Five- Your anger is gone. You are happy- or, in other words, in short-term denial, until you are then reminded the next day of what angered you. Still- weren't you happier? Did you sleep well? :)
I should write a book.
---Kristen
I think it's like the phone equivalent of cuddles. Sometimes you just need to hear the reassurances vocally, while if you were in person, cuddles could just very well take that conversation's place.
---Julie
You know, you were a nice clean-minded girl before you realized that you liked women more than men. Not that I mind, one less woman competing with me for the men makes the field THAT much wider. *smirk* But, still... could you quit slobbering so much about Eliza? Honestly. I had to wipe my screen down it was just so... damp.
---Anya to me
It's been Winter for so long I couldn't even remember what it was like to not wear a bazillion layers of clothing.
---Queenie
Um Keri ..why is your "Rushed" icon doing naughty things to the clock?
---Julie on my bear icon jumping up and down behind the clock on my LJ
Note to Self:
a) Find new nickname for the duo that is Karen and Queenie
b) Apply old nickname to the duo that is Julie and Keri
c) Hex the Troublesome Twosome with bad grades and poor attention spans.
d) Just in case they know a Voudoun priest/ess that can help them, speak to Grifter at the ATF about arranging some harassing investigations on the doings of the Troublesome Twosome
*nod* That should do.
---Anya
that's quite possibly the most homoerotic image of harry potter i have ever seen... besides the shit i've done.. yeah, ahem maybe i shouldn't speak up on that.
---Alex on the cover for the new Harry Potter book
(Ow. Get that toothpick away from me, Ker. I’m warning you.)
---Kristen
I'm terrified about the emails that Keri has saved. Absolutely terrified.
---Julie
And I've updated the links page. Gave up and made an entire column devoted to LiveJournals... the lazy people's answer to updating websites.
---Karen
I'm all cute today. No, seriously, I am, and I'll get the digital camera and get a picture as evidence later.
---Anya
Hee! I've ruined you from using the teddy bear humping icon! GOOD! A good girl like you shouldn't be usin' an icon like that ...people might get IDEAS.
---Julie
I live in a very special corner of Hell. It's not always nice here.
---Anya
Okay, now we know it's gone too far. 'War' is more popular than 'sex' on internet search engines...
---Will
Welcome to the land of rants and raves. Fun, isn't it? Now you know how/why I was sitting here for two straight hours typing an entry the other day! Aah!
---Allie on my Livejournal posts
It's a disease. Just keep telling yourself that and you'll feel better. Really.
---Anya to Karen about the LJs
Blarg! It can't be! I was ... wrong? Le sigh ..how will I ever get over this disappointment?
---Julie
i'm serious it's like he's in a gay bathhouse...
okay i'm done
---Alex continuing on about the Harry Potter cover
How could I find the ONLY guy on the FREAKING planet that actually does mean, 'Well, we could still be friends, right? Let's hang out as friends' Oh yeah, because I drown puppies for fun too.
---Anya
Hee! The Keri/Julie quotes! I just *can't* bring myself to take them down, although I no longer update them. The last update was AT LEAST a year and half ago, if not more. *reads quotes* Huh. No WONDER Dillon gets jealous when we're on the phone together! LOL! And it's only gotten worse! ;)
---Julie
I'm getting visions of coding an icon or mood feature into the MB. Someone stop me before I end up not going to bed until after midnight because I'm coding like a madman.
---Queenie
Ker... you're growing. Much maturity. The month may have uncertainty to it right now, but by the end, it'll hold much conviction and determination in your heart and soul.
---Anya
Dammit, now I'm not going to get to make my "Hairy Keri" joke!
---W i l l upon finding out that I was taking a shower in my away message
We've managed to drive Anya even more insane than the quoting! GO US! I feel
so proud! My dear partner in crime, this is a momentous occasion!
---Julie to me
The large keening wail echoing through my residence that preceded this message is NOT an emergency siren for impending terrorist attacks
I don't WANTA get dressed.
I don't WANTA go to work.
I don't WANTA put up with the idiots.
I want to stay right here in my fuzzy robe with my very sad looking bunny slippers and continue to sip cups of tea all bloody day long. Is that so wrong?
*whimper*
---Anya
Grieving is hard. There's no two ways about it. It's painful to be 'left behind,' because then when you have a good day, or you find yourself laughing or smiling, or you do something special, then you start feeling guilty because the person who is gone can't be there, can't laugh, can't share that time with you. It's hard. It's ongoing.
---Allie
And if you EVER post an epistle like that first post of yours again... you know, the kind that makes War & Peace look like a light read... I'm gonna fly down to California and shake you.
---Anya on my LJ
Anya you know you love Keri and I. Admitting it will probably not save you a lot of future turmoil.
---Julie
This poem shows a new and emerging side of you. It is a recognition that life is sometimes hard and rarely fair. It shows a resolution to boldly face what life has to bring with the confidence that comes from knowing that God's comforting presence is with you through joy, sorrow, peace, chaos. It is a revelation that hiding from the difficulties in life will only result in confusion, and endless spinning in circles. The only way out is through!
---Stacie on my poem “Our First Conversation...Again”
how do i get a live journal?? is this like some cult thing i have to do? whose shoes do i have to lick here? (like i wouldn't do it anyways, omina homina!)
---Alex/KiN
It's not about having what you want but wanting what you have.
---Allie
Good GOD woman!
I read all that before my first cup of tea. I must be insane.
---Anya on my LJ
Well, that's an hour of my life I can't get back.
---Julie on an Angel episode
Two years ago I would've laughed in the face of the loser that had the nerve to be saddened by the fact that they missed almost half a season of episodes from their favorite show. But I see. Yes. I understand now. It's all so clear- so vivid...
---Kristen about Buffy
Hey, Keri, the Vampire Salivator, I don't know when this issue hits newsstands--I just got my copy in the mail--but the latest FHM has "The Girls of BUFFY" in it.
Oh yeah, the guys might be interested too. Heh.
---Will
Lemme guess, you get FHM for the articles, right? *smirk*
---Queenie to Will
Well. Apparently hiring someone IS doing yardwork. Oh, and they paid someone to shovel their driveway with each snow. $125/fall. Ya-huh.
I always joked that "I want a husband that can keep me in the style and luxury to which I wish to be accustomed to". By that, I meant 'buy me a snowblower so I don't have to manually shovel'. Apparently, I could set significantly higher standards.
I am SUCH a peasant.
---Anya
It takes two people to make a relationship work. Two people. Two minds. Two hearts. Two people to compromise. Two people to make sacrifices. It's not right for it all to be on you. It's also not right for it all to be on Sara.
---Julie
You almost sound more excited than I was. That's scary.
---Will about my reaction to an Eliza article/pics in FHM
What, are you in denial or something?
It's OVER.
OVER.
Done.
Gone.
History... let it go. The Bronze is DEAD.
Go home. It's over.
Yeah.
*smirk* Funny, Karen!
---Anya about Karen’s Buffy Bronze replica on the MB
Now all we need is for someone to kill h y p h e m a again, and all will be completely nostalgic.
---Queenie on Will’s alter-ego from the Bronze
Anya: Hee!!!
I'm on a Julie spree.
Julie: There's a name for it now!??
---Anya and Julie on buying things
Queenie: As for me, I've joined in the Julie spree.
Julie: What is this Julie spree crap!?
*ahem* I am not the only one in this group who likes and enjoys buying things!
---Queenie and Julie on the MB
Dammit! Shut up about this Julie spree thing!
*kicks Anya*
---Julie
Did you try kicking me, there JULIE?. That's a guaranteed way to get the phrase "Julie Spree" to NEVER die.
How I went on my Julie Spree Yesterday
---Anya before going off on the things she recently bought
I'm going to say what I always say, and what you've said to me before:
If something is worth fighting for, if you want to fight for something, then fight for it.
---Allie to me
What is the number of your sluttiest friend so that some of your single friends can get some action?
555-DO-KERI
---Julie, LOL
I'm only keeping the issue for its collectible-ness really. Okay, who am I kidding, like I'm likely to ever let these pictures out of my hands.
---Will about FHM
I've always been a card carrying member of retail therapy. It's just, usually, I help OTHER people spend their money.
---Anya to Julie
It was soo wrong! As soon as I saw Sean, I let out this high pitched giggle. I'm so ashamed.
---Julie on watching the special features of Harry Potter 2 and seeing “Oliver Wood”
Ack, and now Alex wants an LJ too? What has this world become? Sigh.
---Karen about livejournals
You can't appreciate the one who stays if you hadn't suffered through the one who abandoned you.
---Allie
.....and I've never heard of Boyz N Girlz United either. I wish I could go on with the rest of my life saying that, but alas. I've been ruined.
---Julie
Don't give up if your heart is telling you to not give up. Don't let go unless you know there is no chance left. Always have hope. Even if she says she wants out, there is always a chance she will change her mind or come back.
You'll know if this is it, if it will finally ever be okay, or not. You'll just know. And if you realize that this isn't the one, then, and only then, should you give in and let go.
---W i l l
Anyway, things I noticed as I bladed:
a) Kids make it look so damn easy.
b) I am definitely 31.
c) Puddles... not my friend. Not my blades friend either.
d) There are groups of muscles in the ass that are used at no other time than Rollerblading. You can work out regularly, squat, lunge, lift. Push. Poke. Prod whatever and you STILL won't encounter said muscle groups until you're rollerblading. Or more precisely, until after you've STOPPED blading and sat down for a wee bit.
---Anya on her rollerblading escapade
i understand what you are feeling...still wanting to be loved like your grandma loved you....yearning for it. i have that feeling sometimes about my dad. needing a fatherly figure or a dominate male figure. i know that no one will ever ever ever replace him and that he is always in my heart. but i also know that it is a natural normal feeling to want a non-boyfriend male figure in my life. not that you go out looking for that person but if they make themselves known, its for a reason. they always say the teacher will appear when the student is ready! it sounds like you are ready. and your grandma knows that....that's why she is guiding you in that direction :)
---Dustie to me
I'm having such a girl moment. There's a roach in my bathroom. Alive. I'm freaked of bugs. This is not good. I'm not a happy Julie.
It's also 6:08 in the morning. I called Dillon at 5:30. He suggested doing bug bombs. We're not allowed to do bug bombs here. GAH!
Now .. do I chance going in the bathroom, shoe handy to kill it? No. I can't. I opened the door just a little bit to see if he was right there so I could stomp on him, but he wasn't. He could be anywhere now.
THIS SUCKS! I am not equipped to handle this.
DAMMIT. HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE APARTMENT OFFICE OPENS UP!? .. 11? Dear Jesus!
I cannot bring myself to go back in my bathroom and deal with the roach myself. Who knows where it is now? It could have gone in my shower .. or under the carpet .. or IN MY CLOSET! Or under the sink. OR IN MY MEDICINE CABINENT!!!
I can't do this. I want to die.
The roach has taken my apartment and me hostage.
Julie
.....soon to be roach food.
---Julie
I just realized I probably can't call the office and request maintence. They'd probably tell me to go buy some bug spray! THIS JUST TOTALLY SUCKS!
"Um hi. Can you get one of the maintence guys to come over here? There's a roach in my bathroom."
"... Are you kidding?"
"No, there's really a roach in my bathroom."
"Um, can't you kill it?"
"*cries of desperation* NO!! There's a ROACH! In my bathroom! ALIVE!!!"
"Um, why don't you just buy some roach killer."
"NO! That means I'd HAVE TO GO IN THERE!!!"
"Um .. okay. We'll send someone up."
*knock knock* "Maintence!"
"Hi, there's a roach in my bathroom."
"*blank look*"
"Can you kill it?"
"*feels all manly and tries not to laugh at the stupid person who called him to kill a roach then smiles* Sure!"
*walking to the bathroom*
*takes a look around*
*turns back around to me and says* "Um, there's no roach in here."
"BUT HE COULD BE ANYWHERE!!! He's in the closet. He's a gay roach in the closet! JUST PLEASE KILL IT!!!"
*looks at me weird and just sprays some ant and roach killer* "Well there you go!!"
"*defeated* Thanks."
*smiles importantly* "Glad I could help." *leaves* *gets downstairs and laughs hysterically*
I cry.
So it looks like I'm just going to wait until WalMart opens so I can buy some ant and roach killer and bug spray my bathroom until the little bitch can't breathe. If I have to move out in the process, I'll do it.
His little cockroach ass is mine.
*whimper*
----Julie continuing on her roach post kick, lol
So I emptied about a half can of Raid in the bathroom. My whole apartment smells like it and I'm covered in it. It won't kill me if I've inhaled some of it .. and quite possibly, some of it got on my tongue. That won't kill me, right? I brushed my teeth and tongue so now some of the numbing has gone away.
Bad thing is that I've had to open my bathroom door to do this and I didn't see the bitch roach ANYWHERE. Which means it's hiding somewhere. That bitch better die with all the bug killer I sprayed!
---Julie still about the roach
I see pretty colors.
---Julie after tasting and inhaling Raid
And now, I'm going to go copy this roach story and send it off to some people that I know need an hysterical laugh. I'll kindly ensure your name isn't mentioned.
---Anya
I’m not that evil, am I? I just had an evil thought.
---Kristen
Gee...
Thanks Anya.
As if my pain and suffering aren't enough, you have go to spread it around!
You should be shamed! I'll tell that cockroach where to find you.
---Julie
THERE'S A ROACH. IN MY BATHROOM. ALIVE. AND *DILLON* ISN'T HERE! *plots a whole lot of deaths*
---Julie
Oh dear. Have I never explained my concept of guilt? I should. If there's something that I *could* do that I'd feel guilty about, then I wouldn't do it. I think guilt is a redundant emotion. I go forth committing acts of cruelty and whatnot without an iota of shame or regret.
Because, I'm just not capable of remorseful guilt. Tried. Got a F. *grin*
---Anya to Julie
I'm pleased to have delighted everyone with my mortal peril. I'm happy to know that when I'm down, my most loving friends will LAUGH AT ME!!
*grins* Yes yes, I know. I'm full of countless amounts of entertainment.
---Julie
Steps on avoiding that freaking bitch of a roach (the bastard):
1) Wear shoes. Everywhere. Even to bed.
1a) If, for whatever reason, the shoes happen to come off, have a pair ready to stand by to be put on at a moment's notice.
2) Turn on all the lights. Make sure there is no darkness anywhere.
2a) Should it be dark, immediately turn on a light, so you can see what (if anything) are on the walls and what you could be stepping on (remember the shoes?)
3) Avoid the bathroom like the plauge.
3a) Should you have to go into the bathroom, first, remember the shoes? Wear them. Remember the lights? Turn them on. Then venture in the doorway. Look around. Look on walls, the celing, the floor. Also check the shower, behind the door, and under the toilet seat. Then leave as soon as you can.
4) When going into your bedroom, scan the walls, the floor, the celing, behind the door. Make sure to do a quick scan in the closet. Shake out the bedsheets and pillow cases. Do it again. And again. But bed back together. Check the walls and celing again. If going to sleep, cocoon yourself in the blankets and keep a spare shoe handy. Also, wear headphones so nothing can get in your ear.
And if you do all that, you will still be paranoid you will run into that little bastard and his bastard friends.
Be glad you're moving out soon.
---Julie
I gotta hand it to you- you certainly did give me a little 'sumthin' sumthin''. How could I have doubted you before? Divid and all? ;)
---Kristen
Also, Keri? Shut. Up. Or I'll tell the bees where to find you *smirk* ;)
---Julie because of me laughing at her pain, lol
Ah, Jules...
You do realize that you're letting a little tiny cockroach, technically smaller than 1/100th of your size, win... right?
Just checking.
---Anya
Ok, Keri.. I am so proud of the above...
---Lauren about my guilty listening pleasure being Linkin Park
*cough* If you're scared of one regular sized roach, then I suppose you wouldn't want to live here. See roach, squish roach and move on. Unless it's one of those icky disgusting water beetles.
---Karen to Julie
I'm seriously wondering who's more of a fuddy-duddy old fart, my grandfather who is 81 or me.
---Anya
I am not *letting* the damn thing win! I'm petrified of them! If it can wait 3 months, it can have the damn apartment! I don't care! Just don't let me see them!! *cough*
---Julie to Anya
FAVOURITE MAGAZINE? Don't ask me why but somehow those ones with half-naked girls on the cover catch the eye. Interestingly enough, Keri said the exact same thing!
---Will
I have some research to do, anyway, for my revenge on the Troublesome Twosome that are so driving my comments sections INSANE. I hate scrollage, dearies. Hate it.
---Anya
keri, know in time and with healing that peace will come. you just have to stay patient and also accept the fact that everything may not have an immediate explanation. the reasoning for things is often not revealed until much further down the road. and god does it that way on purpose. i know you know all this but sometimes when you are directly in the situation it is not easy to remember it :)
---Dustie
SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? She doesn't like to be called that. Trust me.
---Will
But dammit you know ... all four of us have ALL the SAME personality traits.
I mean seriously Keri. I do *not* know anyone else who's lives parallel like
ours do. For a long time, I've tried to deny this but now I really believe
there's truth to it. When something bad or a fight happens to one couple,
the other couple is soon to follow with a fight. What the!? *kicks karma*
---Julie about us and our sig others
Oh, and as for the Evil factor... I'll bide my time. Revenge will be mine.
---Anya
She made me a scarf! But I haven't seen it yet. So now I'm wondering if
it was all a figment of my imagination.
---Karen about Anya
*sigh* I'm pathetic, aren't I? :)
---Kristen
Keri: *laughs* Why of course. That's the only thing that could have come out of my mouth. ;)
W i l l: Of course. Because you, Keri (as if you don't know your own name), are inn-o-cent (with a capital I).
W i l l: Boy my sarcasm is really heavy tonight. :)
Keri: *laughs* I'm so not innocent. People are finally starting to accept this.
Keri: I'm not so innocent in many ways anymore- my mouth needs soap sometimes, I'm a little wiser in the way of the physical land, and I've gotten a dirty mind, lol.
W i l l: Tell me about it. I mean if people were still not sure of your non-innocence, that link to that porn site on your site should have been the final clue!
W i l l: Just FYI: the way of the physical land sounds so non-sexual. Please, please, don't say that again. ;)
---W i l l and I after I implied I was saying "sh*t" and Will said I must have meant "stars"
You have your insightful paper, I have my image manipulation of horrible demons with blood on their mouths, and we're both happy.
---Allie to me on our accomplishments for the day
You were nice. I wouldn't have been.
---Julie to me
Gee... and my toes and fingernails are that flamboyant bright red too.
Only, rollers NEVER go into my hair! Too reminiscent of my Grandmother!
---Anya on my bday ecard to her
GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL? I don't know but what the hell's that floating in it!?!? If you think I'm drinking that @#$%, forget it.
---Will
I actually miss the Keri graphic novels... the MB just isn't the same without
them. =)
---Queenie
There is no other way Hermione can be paired but with Ron. It's meant to be. I said so.
— Anya
Anya? Just ew. That's all I'm sayin'.
---Julie
Gretchen: other than that i'm tired from my road trip. i didn't get a lot of sleep last night. i ended up staying at the college with one of my bro's friends
Keri: How much sleep did you get?
Gretchen: maybe like 4 hours? a big trash truck came to get the garbage around 2 am
Gretchen: they said he usually comes at 5
Gretchen: crazy. it has been a while since i was in a dorm
Gretchen: i think i'm getting old *smirk*
Keri: *has to laugh* Nah, you're not getting old...you're just getting more "experienced" ;)
---Gretchen and I in an AIM convo (and yes, she's a new friend :))
Sun is shining, but holy crow did we can a snow flurry for awhile. It was Awful. It's March 31st, Goddamnit! We've had the first day of Spring. There should be none of this below freezing snowfall shit!
(I have issues, can you tell?)
---Anya
FAVOURITE SPORT TO WATCH? Whipped cream wrestling's not technically a sport is it?
---Will
Quote me on that if you'd like. I'm giddy. I grant permission when I'm giddy. You aren't getting a key to the house or a million dollars, so don't ask for those, though. Tra la. It's my half-birthday, and I have tomorrow off, so a big :-p to work right now.
---Allie's cute when she's giddy!
I know what it's like, as you well know, not to be accepted by parents.
It's odd, though; they were relatively okay when I told them I was into women
as well as men, but they still thought I was a total weirdo otherwise. How's
that for contrast? :p I guess we all have our crosses to bear where parents
are involved; we're never the people they think we will be, and we're not
supposed to be, by any means. We're supposed to grow into our own souls. And sure, technically everyone knows this, our parents know, but the feelings get in the way; they just don't want to let go of their little babe that once rocked in
the cradle at the beginning of life. But in the long run, they've got no
choice BUT to accept things as they change; you can't fit into diapers and all
those toddler suits anymore, and that's that! You're a woman in your own right,
and you have not hurt anyone, you just have become. They may feel hurt, but
it's nothing you did, it's all about their issues.
---Kate to me
... *cough* Meow .. at your response ;) I really can't blame you there. I'd be pissed off as well .. but damn! You can so go off! ;) (Is it weird that I find this cute and giggle?)
---Julie at me being pissed off
This update of sheer boredom and frustration is brought to you Mondays-From-Hell. Everyone gets them, and there is no relief. Mondays-From-Hell just to raise YOUR personal stress to going-postal levels.
---Anya
Hey, did you ever watch that program on that hooker ranch? Me either. I just uhh heard about it.
---W i l l
Score! Keri gets to play with the mashed potatoes after all! *dances*
I don't think the mashed potato thing will *ever* get old. I went to the store and when I got to the mashed potato section, I was all grinning and laughing. Thank God I was *alone* on that isle, otherwise, people would be wondering why I was laughing at a box of mashed potatoes!
---Julie
it wasn't very good. she was no American Idol
---Queenie on Erica Kane's singing voice from All My Children
M&M do melt in my hands and not in my mouth! (can i sue for false advertising?)
---Alex about it being scorching hot
*sigh* You know what? I sometimes get the feeling I'm dating you and Sara as
well. I mean, I'm quite emotionally invested in your relationship.
---Julie
W i l l: You always had a dirty mind. At least as long as I've known you.
And don't say I corrupted you!
Keri: *laughs* You did! You and Julie!
Keri: Innocently though.
Keri: Then Sara came along and I was GONE.
W i l l: It was all Julie. I was a Mormon when I met her.
Keri: LOL, she can corrupt anyone, huh?
W i l l: I think you were always a naughty one. It just took a few people to come along and encourage that part of you out.
W i l l: And that sounded so wrong somehow.
Keri: Amen. Sara realized this. She thought SHE was gonna be the bad one out of the two of us and that I was gonna be this pure pure thing. Then I came outta my shell maybe like 9 months into the relationship and now I'm worse than her, lol
W i l l: Worse than her? Say, if this thing doesn't work out, what's say you come on back to guys.
Keri: LOL! So NOW you want me, I see how it is. ;)
W i l l: Yeah, you were too pure for me back then. If I would have known it was going to be "Keri's Gone Wild", I would probably have been on that like a bee on honey (bad, bad analogy).
Keri: LOL, I see how it is, a Wild Keri is much more appealing, lol. ;)
W i l l: Come on, who wouldn't be put off by a super-religious-seeming young chick? :) I didn't need to be told what I did wrong, why, and what page of the Bible it's on! j/k.
Keri: LOL but now you could do that to me, lol, just turn to the page on homosexuality of course. ;)
W i l l: I could do what to you? Oh, that. I thought you were coming onto me there for a second.
---W i l l and I in an AIM convo
It SNOWED last night! Real SNOW not some nice euphanism for cocaine or whatnot.
Goddamit! My new shiny car was covered with the bloody stuff. The roads, slick. The drivers, stupid and the temperature? Bloody cold.
If this was an April Fools Gag, it's not very funny.
---Anya having issues again
Nah, I'm not cute. I possess childlike features, perhaps. ;)
---Allie
By the way, I have your page saved and bookmarked as "Keri's Love and @#$%." >;-)

Karen: I got an IM from this person and I don't know who he is. And yet somehow I'm on his buddylist. He says his name is Moses....
Alex: moses is this guy that found the ten commandments,
and led the jews out of egypt. you're talking
to a boner-fide prophet, you should feel so proud.
---Karen and Alex on the MB
Just for shits and giggles...
I read the last line:
Tonight will be interesting nonetheless. And hopefully? It will be freeing
However, I saw freezing, not freeing and my weary mind stumbled. "Why on EARTH would she want to freeze her ass off during and after this? Honestly! She should be hoping and expecting the best!"
Then I reread slowly (because at 6:47am, anything done fast is clearly being done wrong), and realized that no... it was freeing not freezing
---Anya about my post on my dinner with Keith and Missy to tell them about my relationship with Sara
Oh, btw, I just looked at the Claire pictures .... Oh honey. Tick. Tick.
Tick. *kicks biological clock* I can so understand now. Just looking at the
pictures was ... Yeaaah. I can't imagine holding her in person. Your clock
must have been screaming!
She is so so cute. So cute. And the picture with you and her while she was
sleeping on your chest? My heart *melted* .. Just melted!
---Julie about my baby cousin Claire
Frankly, since I don't like flushing money, I'd stick with them until expiration and just be an unholy terror.
Call. Bitch. Nasty.

No, Keri doesn't have any Windows issues at all. Nope. *cough*
---Julie
Gretchen: i identify with your fix it nature.
Gretchen: i think we have had similar roles in some ways.....
Keri: I think you're right...I'm SO the problem solver. It's weird to just be...sitting here. Doing nothing. Even now, I still feel like I should be doing SOMETHING.
Gretchen: yah, try being unemployed.....smirk
---Gretchen and I in an AIM convo
I *love* the SARS virus. Everyone in Toronto (with it's entire 250 cases, 160 of which have been released, and 21 deaths), is paranoid about SARS. If you have a sniffle - stay home, sore throat - don't move, aches & pains - seal the house up. In a city of millions, this is amusing.
Anyway, I woke up all disgruntled and dismayed to realize it was Monday. My throat IS sore, but that's from shouting, and my body does ache, but that's from sleeping weird. So, what did I do? Called in sick. They're very happy to have me stay home today and possibly tomorrow.
*smirk* Goodness, I do love a paranoid uneducated society!
---Anya
And am I the only one who felt like watching The Wizard of Oz after reading Keri's installment? *smirk*
---Kristen about B:WP
man, the way she bites her lip, what a cutie. ladies. bite your lips,
it's so adorable.
---Alex
Don't you just love my long rambling stories?
---Queenie
Oddly enough, the constant want to strangle my brother isn't so much a story as the self-expression of how hard it is to resist the urge of serial killing.
---Anya
Also kind of interesting was being an only child this past weekend while Queenie was in Buffalo. It's more fun to have siblings I think because you get bored less easily. But she's back and she didn't even bring me a present. The nerve of her.
---Karen
Hopefully by the time you read this, you and her will have made up and be all "Oh baby. Kiss. Kiss."
---Julie about me and Sara
Oh. Dear. GOD! Girlfriends You bought that pathetic little magazine? AAARGH. *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*. Of all the magazines on this planet... WHY THAT ONE?! WHY WHY WHY?
The publisher drives me INSANE. In-Fucking-SANE! And by buying a copy... you may have kept them in business! AAAARGH.
Must.Go.Drown.My.Head.
---Anya upon finding out I had purchased a magazine called Girlfriends with Tara, Buffy, and Willow on the cover ;)
A relationship is TWO people, dammit. Both people are responsible for what happens in it. If one person was the cause of everything, why would we ever need another person? We could just have a relationship with ourselves. Uhh....

When I was sweeping the kitchen Saturday morning, a really big cockroach crept out from a corner. So what did I do? I screamed and whacked it with my broom over and over again. And it still wouldn't die. After about 5 minutes I think it finally stopped moving. I went to scoop it into the dustpan and it smeared what looked like black ink all over the floor. Can we say eww? I shudder at the memory of it all. Queenie (who overheard me in the bathroom) decided it was so funny she retold the story to my parents at dinner and they just couldn't stop laughing. Evil. I think only Julie could appreciate a story like this.
---Karen
Now, I'm debating nicknaming her Chipmunk Cheeks because she's all swollen. We'll see if I do or not...
---Queenie about her friend who got her wisdom teeth taken out
The only thing that still fit was my favorite flannel shirt from 1995 -- when the grunge movement from Seattle was the rage.
*slowly repeats to herself* I am not Clark. I shall not wear flannel. I am not Clark. I am not obsessed with flannel.
*sadly throws shirt away*
---Julie while cleaning things out for her and Dillon’s move
W i l l: Enjoy your lunch, honey bunch.
W i l l: Did I just call you honey bunch?
Keri: *laughs* Okay I will, lol and yes you did. ;) Enjoy your lunch too. :)
W i l l: What, no cutesy woosty sweety names for me? :-P
---W i l l and I in an AIM convo
It's okay. Crisis adverted in a big bowl of hot-fudge sundae goodness. *whew*
---Anya after the Girlfriends trauma
I hate being sick while I'm on vacation. It never fails. Sigh.
---Karen
My biggest regret in life is that I can't make those cool gun noises that little boys can. All I can do is stick out my thumb, point my index finger, and say "boom boom! boom boom!" It's quite a shame.
---Kristen
I had a dream this morning involving me, a pogo stick, and Michael Rosenbaum. Don't ask.
---Julie's obsession with pogo sticks continues
Wanted: A kindly friend with a gun to blow my brains out so I can really get the sleep my body is crying for.
---Anya
Ooh, a "Valentine's Day sucks" theme would be perfect!
---Queenie very much wanting anti-love on the MB, lol
My first thought of seeing a guy carrying flowers is (a) how romantic, followed by (b) how disgustingly nauseating it is.
---Karen about Valentine's Day
It is okay to be complicated. In fact, it is a good thing. It is better than
being one-note or two-dimensional. It is better than being predictable to a
fault. Anyhow, everyone gets conflicted and complicated at times. It's how
the human brain works.
---Allie
*sigh* I've been up almost 2 hours, and I'm still sitting in my robe with a towel around my head. I've GOT to get moving. And this little voice in the back of my head keeps chiming: 'I don'wanna!' every time I mutter those five words.
"I've GOT to get moving."
'I don'wanna!'
See? This could become a problem.
---Anya
I have never known you to NOT babble on and on, good or bad. Hence the name Keri Post. Let it out, DAMMIT.
---W i l l
I'm drinking orange juice! And now all I can think about is Clark's sperm!
---Julie
You're evil, but since I too can appreciate a good quote...
I'll let this one slide.
---Karen upon hearing I was making this quote update
Julie's hormones must be crazy. She would probably flirt with a log. Heh.
---W i l l
You didn't get much from me! HA! HA! HA! I'm a low-calorie quote this month!
---Anya
You can nag. You can always nag. Doesn't seem to change much, but yep, you can most certainly nag.
---Anya about Karen's nagging to get the long overdue next part of Buff1f:WP
I've decided to not nag but blackmail. Which would be better to display? Your
baby pictures (yep, more than one), or your high school yearbook picture? I'm
staring at all of them, and it's so hard to decide...
---Karen in reply to Anya, heh heh
Don't listen to naysayers and liars - only listen to your heart and the truth.
---Allie to me
so blah blah blah blah blah. i'm here. whats the plans? do i have to do
everything around here?? you know... i have a busy schedule. my video
games await. theres a world out there that needs to be saved from
lightening shooting gargoyles, ogres, and posssessed packs of wolves... my
crew and i are on a mission here.
---Becky
What? You came to Texas and you wait until the very last second, when you are
on the way out the door, to send an e-mail to let me know? Terrific job.;)
---Will to me
Buff1f: Boxers or Briefs? Depends.
---Anya's title for the new B:WP part where Keri is in Depends, lol
drink a glass of water and get over it... i'm not done with you. ;)
---mons when I said I was going to bed 'cause I was sleepy and lightheaded, lol
Keri, per usual, you are able to capture those moments and feelings that can't
even be described sometimes.
---Julie about a poem of mine
i don't know why i am so surprised to see a long email... you've always done it
and probably always will... haha
---Lauren to me
...after having produced a Buff1f part (as demanded, howled, complained, bitched
about, etc) I'll get peeved if the board gets dead-quiet.
And we don't want that, now do we?
Hmm?
(FYI, the obvious answer here is, "No, Ma'am. We don't want that." Just
incase you weren't sure...)
---Anya
Pinky, Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
I think so Brain, but I don't know why Fanfic Goddesses demand amusement all the
time from her servants.
---Karen
DAMN, I can't believe you used the d-word!
Shame shame, I know your name.
---Will about “Lost and Found” where I used "damn", lol
Keri: FUN FUN!
I love Granny Me.
I think it's the funniest thing ever.
Anya: Get help. Now.
Keri: *laughs* Hey, I gotta get my kicks somehow over here ya know. I have no one to entertain me at the house.
Anya: *sigh* Yup. You need help. Next time, you're crapping your diapers and pleading with Kin to change them.
Keri: *giggles even more* That would be hilarious!
Anya: You were a difficult child when growing up, weren't you?!
---Anya and I in an AIM convo about B:WP
returning to antisocial state until then... must stay low... those man
eating butterflies have good ears.
---Becky
Oh! We have a new addition to the Bear Family. I think this one will probably be
a cousin to you. Dillon got me a "huge ass freaking teddy bear" HAFTB for short
..I decided to name him Mr. Bearie Bear ;) *cough*
---Julie to me
Julie: Yo peeps. What up?
Alex: a dime piece like no other, jules.
whas' poppin' my boo? how things r going, nah'm saying nah a mean? it's all good
up in here, i just wanna know if ya be splizzin up there with yer papi.
---Alex/KiN and Julie on the MB
Is it me, or did anyone else feel the need to find a linguistics expert after
reading Alex's post?
---Karen
When you said you were using the d-word, I thought to myself: "Oh dear lord, I
hope she doesn't mean dagnabit!"
At least you didn't say shoot, blast it, nuts, or phooey. Those are REALLY bad
words!!!
---Will still about “Lost and Found”
dinnertime is better for me... i culture yeast during the day.
---Becky
Mons: darn all these boys are cuties, too bad they're not older... *snaps fingers*
Keri: *laughs* They're both single too. ;)
Mons: aaawwww, how cute. and what a surprise. kids now-a-days start
smilfdilhabpen....
Mons: hold on, my dentures fell out......
Mons: kids now-a-days start dating soooo young.
---mons and I in an AIM convo while she was looking at Keith and Missy’s wedding pictures with Missy’s brothers
Karen: The ceiling is up.
Julie: I'm very glad the ceiling is up. Otherwise it would be the floor.
---Karen and Julie on the MB
There's no thought of the Day/Week/Month/Year.
This disturbs me. I may have to stop thinking altogether now. How tragic.
---Anya on the thought of the day not being at the top of the MB anymore
I'm sorry, but I'm short and not a stick.
---Queenie on super-tight pants nowadays
For two days the kitchen sink was stopped up. It was a drain.
Get it? A drain?;)
---Will
Gotta love being an online packrat sometimes. :-)
---Karen
Don't say I don't respond to whines, pleas, begs or temper tantrums.
---Anya after she posted the next part of B:WP
know i thought of you.... everytime i opened aol up for that matter! ha.
"you've got mail" .... i know , i know... keri is STILL gone. ;)
---mons after I was away for 2 weeks
Yesterday, Queenie and I spent the day with the great and evil Anya. Lots of
fun, interesting conversations, and unfortunately, no bloodshed. Oh well, you
can't have everything, I suppose.
---Karen
You really didn't think I was an angel of a child, now did you? I'm just far
more slick, subtle and mature in my way of being difficult, intractable and
prematurely aging my parents.
---Anya
Kin wrote something that was too violent. Oh, color ME surprised!
---Anya after Alex saying his website took down his violent comic
I remain the insane kitty . . .
---Allie/Little Will
Just because I'm not in the Western hemisphere doesn't mean I don't lurk.
---Karen while away on vacation in Hong Kong
I'm just so damned GOOD at being ME!
---Anya
Julie: OH MY GOD.
Keri I have no words!
Keri: LOL! I know! It's THAT good that it even shuts you up! *ducks very quickly* ;)
---Julie and I over the Granny’s Boobs Hang Low page
Keri: *giggles* Anya's cute.
~hides before she dies
Karen: There's no use hiding, you know. Anya will find you. Hehe. :-)
---Karen and I on the MB
His Imperial Majest, my Father, will be SO pleased...
---Anya after finding out from a quiz that’s she’s an Imperial Princess
Princess?? But I'm a QUEEN...
I'll chalk up the inaccuracy to the fact that this quiz is below me. *smirk*
---Queenie after being dubbed a Spoiled Princess
(and if you can notice on the top half there are fingers where a menacing anya
was to appear but i cut her out for something better in the future, which i'm
sure now admitting it will have anya get me the most royally shit kicked out of)
---Alex/KiN after showing us a Buff1f:WP drawing he made
Damn. Makes me want to get back into drawing... just a wee bit. Not too much
though. :-)
---Karen to Alex
Anya: Lively place you got happening here.
How DO you keep the noise down?
Alex: (*plugging fingers in ears*)
WHAAAAA?! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!!!!!!!
---Anya and Alex when the MB was super quiet
And yes, this board is dead again. It's always dead. I'm beginning to think no
one loves the board anymore. *sniff* Hmm. Though, if that's the case, that means
I can move it again.. Heh.
---Karen
I still love the board. But my life is boring. I have nothing to say, as the
people who have been unfortunate enough to have been reading my website these
past months know. My life has gotten so boring, I just rambled on my site about
going to the dentist and finding another ob/gyn. And you know what? Things are
so bad and boring that I just don't care that I rambled about finding a new gyn!
---Julie in reply to Karen
Shhhhhhhhh........
Be vewy, vewy quiet.... We're hunting wabbit!
---Queenie
i just realized why the hell do i keep putting the buff1f characters around a
fireplace? like if that's all they did on the show?
next up. Nude quidditch match and UFAT: NEAR FIREPLACES!!!!!!!!!!!
----Alex on his drawings
And Will -- where did your site go?
---Karen about Will’s site which only said “Bye.” and that’s it
Okay, analysis time. I'm turning 23 in a little over a month... that doesn't
give me much time to get married, unless I end up eloping. And that ain't
happening. And I'm a little concerned about having already met my future husband
because I definitely haven't met the man of my dreams yet. So, as with all
spiritual things, I take it with a grain of salt. But it would be a very scary
thought... me being married in a little over a year. *shudder*
---Queenie’s analysis of her palm being read, her being married at 23 and having already met her future husband
i was actually entertaining the idea a while back of drawing **ahem** hilarious
images of NQM with strategically placed brooms covering naughty bits. but then i
realized the sheer creepiness i would feel drawing nekkid underaged males...
uh, yeah.
---Alex/KiN
Yeesh. Men and their fragile sexuality-based egos.
---Anya after Alex’s protest against NQM drawings
Anya: What's so creepy about underaged nekkid males?
Eventually, they'll be of-age nekkid males, after all. Kinda like... Oliver
Wood. Right ladies?
Queenie: *cough*cradlerobber*cough*
Anya: Your point?
---Anya and Queenie on the MB
Momentous event: Keri has acknowledged that I, Julie, am right. ;)
---Julie
man, today was the best, i was checking out the walking ambrosia, the juicy
femmes of the city.
and i noticed this girl from behind (of course to look at the namebrand of jeans
on the backpocket of course) and i could see the very tight outlining of a
wrapped condom.
man, i just knew she was my type of chick.
(or she had a really horrible secret)
---Alex/KiN
Anya: Betcha that 'girl' was a hot transvestite. Betcha 'she' was packing more inside those jeans than ya know about, and that condom was for personal application.
Ya know. That's just the way Murphy's Twisted Laws of Hellish Pain roll out.
But, then again... I'm a pessimist.
Alex: there was no horrible secret,
i found out.
:-P
uhehehehehehheheheh
---Anya and Alex about Alex’s hot chick with a condom
keri, you be heavensent.
---Alex/KiN
*hits Keri*
Get a grip! No more Kelly! It's one thing for you to subject me to this madness,
but it's quite another to subject the whole board!
*cough* Kelly's actually quite good. Keri's just way too obsessed for it
to be healthy. Do not engage in IM chats with her when she is like this.
---Julie when I raved about Kelly Clarkson from American Idol on the MB ;)
Kelly Whoson?
So, I guess now would be a bad time to mention I don't know what the heck y'all
are babbling about.
American Idol? What, is Billy making a comeback and no one mentioned it to me?
And who's Kelly? Is this a Married with Children? And dare I ask what it is
she's good at that requires MP3's?
---Anya, not in the know about Kelly Clarkson
Breathe, chica.
---Allie to me after all my bouncing around on the MB
man oh man do i wish i lived in the MTV'S UNDRESSED universe.
---Alex/KiN
Bless me Goddess, for I have Sinned. I have succumbed to the peer pressure of
society and Keri and watched American Idol tonight. I tried to resist Goddess
but the television lineup was against me tonight. So I did it. And I rather
liked it. I'm so ashamed. And that Simon's rather cute. In an impish and
sarcastic way. Please help me back on my righteous path Goddess.
P.S. Keri - You're right. Kelly is definitely the best. Though I did think
Justin did a good job. But Nikki is the weakest link. Goodbye.
---Julie, hehehehe
Thy transgression most notable.
The sin deemed not unforgivable.
And so thus, here is your act of repentantence:
No talking to Keri about the American Idol schtuff.
If she starts... change the topic. Talk about the things you two are good at
talking about... sex, drugs, Sara, etc.
So spake:
The Goddess
---Anya in reply to Julie’s confession, hehehehe
Jury duty was the single most boring experience of my life.
---Queenie
i was passed by eliza on the street once and was told later who it was, fork,
did my eyes hate me for missing that gold.
---Alex/KiN about Eliza Dushku
You have to ask who MY favorite 'American Idol' is? It's the girl from Texas. Okay, so there were two from Texas. Well, it's the one without pink-bomb hair. Still lost? Okay, okay. It's Kelly Axton. I mean Clarkson!
---Will
I lurk. I web hop. And I have friends who'll force me to listen to stuff, even
if I don't want to hear it. *cough* And Keri does that to me too *cough*
Kelly Clarkson ;)
---Julie to Alex about how she knows about not-as-known artists
Keri, forgive me but I do not see you as Sara's woman but more like a long time family member. It's great huh? We love you both & will always be here for ya'll.
---Sara’s aunt Anita
First we're shown a video about jury duty, which was very reminiscent of high
school government class. It was also intended to wipe away our non-desire to
perform jury duty. It didn't work.
---Queenie about her jury duty experience
stupified by EMINEM's jackass-edness
mortified by Guns n Roses shittiness (just axel)
overly tittilated by christina aguilera's sluttiness.
---Alex’s review of the MTV Video Music Awards
Keri: Will-a-dee!
W i l l: . o O (Oh no...)
Keri: *POUNCE*
Keri: Gimme hugs!
W i l l: I knew I couldn't escape you forever.
---Will and I in an AIM convo
My friends think I'm a bad ass now. Not because of my illegal behavior, of course, but because of the gall I had to skip out on a Buffy premiere. I'm bad to the bone.
---Kristen
Karen: Anya: I feel I should share this with you. I had a dream with Michael Vartan in it. And no, it wasn't about baseball. I wish I could remember what it was about, but I don't. I do know it involved a conversation with him.
Anya: That's nice, dear. As long as you don't have naughty dreams about Ben Affleck causing my "dream"-bf to cheat on me, it's all fine.
---Karen and Anya on the MB
I'm pondering where the hell my summer went! I haven't even done anything!
---Julie
W i l l: No, I think it is a good career if it is something you want to do. Besides, you might get to wear your hair in a bun and wear a snappy navy blazer to boot.
Keri: *laughs* Oh shut up, I hate buns. :-p ER, not THOSE kinda buns, hehehehe. ;)
W i l l: Hamburger buns?? Yeah, I like those too. Especially the ones with the sesame seeds.
Keri: *laughs* No no, BUNS, as in bootays. ;)
W i l l: See, you are corrupting me. I am a deeply, deeply religious boy. I have never seen or heard such words.
Keri: Ohhhh... poor Will... corrupted by Keri.
W i l l: Bu--- I can't even bring myself to say the word. It is such dirty language. My mom will be mad.
---W i l l and I in an AIM convo about me being a travel agent
See, you being on Texas time means you need to come back...now...no seriously, right now. No, for real. :-p
---Sara on me not being able to adapt back to CA time, hehehe
Anya’s first post: I did Legolas. But, I've always at Elvish affections.
Anya’s 2nd post: Dig. Not did. If I had *done* Orlando Bloom, you'd all know about it.
REALLY.
---Anya about the Lord of the Rings
For the ladies in the house... and any of the guys who want to be a Buffy chick. *smirk*
I was... Anya. Which sounded so hilarious and ironic when I said it aloud.
---Queenie on a Buffy chick quiz
See, in Texas we have Chick Fil A's everywhere...yet ANOTHER reason. ;) LOL, I'll stop really.
---Sara about my current obsession with Chick Fil A
W i l l: Well, who says bottoms?? I mean besides the English.
Keri: My mother. *smirk*
W i l l: Oops!
Keri: *laughs*
W i l l: Okay, but WHO says buttocks!? And if you say your mom...well...uh...I would like to be cremated.
Keri: LOL, I don't know actually...my grandmother?
W i l l: Yes, I can just see it: "Mmm-huh, oh yeah, that Brad Pitt... (gum
gum)...he shore does have nice buttocks."
---W i l l and I continuing on about "buns" ;)
I'm paranoid. I'm totally superstitious, and I have BAD ENOUGH luck never to jeopardize myself as below. *shudder* So, please, just forgive me forwarding this to whatever email addresses I could drag out of my mailbox who hadn't already been sent this... and just send it out to anyone you'd love to traumatize... other than the incredibly superstitious moi.
---Anya on the “sex” chain letter she sent on to the rest of us ;)
I'm taking fashionably late to new levels of tactlessness.
---Anya after making belated birthday wishes
Actor/celebrity that tempts you enough to consider changing your
sexual orientation, if just for one night:
Angelina Jolie. I mean, have you *seen* her lips?
---Julie
it's like quoting nietzche (sp?) with anger issues
---Alex/KiN on quoting Anya
The world is a vampire, some say, but I say it's all cyclical.
---Allie
Wheeeeee!
Alias is on in 16 minutes. Not that I'm counting, of course, 'cause that would
indicate obsessive fascination with the show. And I'm not obsessed. Really.
---Anya
You seriously made Queenie's day. It's so funny. :-)
---Karen to Will about Ian McKellen replacing Richard Harris as Dumbledore in Harry Potter
OH! We saw The Two Towers today ...OMG ...it's three hours long!! I almost died!
Three hours! I start squirming around after a half hour! Every time I thought
the movie was going to end, it just kept going! (Um if you can't tell, I'm not a
fan of long movies)
---Julie
There is no such thing as a non-Jewelry clause. There IS, however, a
non-Junk-Jewelry clause. Demand only the very best.
---Anya
Just wanted to let you all know I'm planning on jumping off my balcony. Would
you like to know why?
Windows XP home is KILLING me! I hate this OS! I hate it! Damn it to hell!!!
---Julie
XP = Xceedingly Painful. :-)
---Karen to Julie
KiN: that Anya quote t-shirt thing is friggin' genius.
FRIGGIN' GENIUS!!
it'll blow those blase' emily shirts to hell
Anya: WHAT?!
Who posted that?
NO ANYA QUOTE T-SHIRTS. Unless, it's quotes from BtVS Anyanka.
No. No. No.
Or, I'll hex you all.
Boils, sores, warts, elongated noses, missing "part", anyone?
---KiN and Anya on the MB
Strip Me Bare? Hey, what the hell? I didn't sign up for no porn e-mail!
---Will about one of my poem’s titles, lol
And this is why Anya thinks I torture her whenever she gets a gift from us.
---Karen on her gift wrapping frenzies
Tummy is being obnoxious tonight. We ate, had a lovely whole-wheat pasta and
tomato sauce with veggies. IT thinks we're still hungry and I know we're not. IT
wants chocolate. I know we don't need it.
Vocal little bitca, my tummy. It's getting water and that's IT. Because, it's
bloody COLD out there and I am NOT going to the corner store for chocolate.
---Anya
You made her wait 3-4 weeks for her Christmas gift!? And she didn't open it?
Sara deserves to be sainted for that one :-)
---Julie about when my Christmas gift for Sara arrived way earlier than I thought it would
Little Willow: Please don't encourage Karen. PUHLEEZE. I don't think I can take
it if I break 400 quotes.
Karen: I haven't broken 400 yet, right?
---Anya
I see y'all (except Anya of course) are really into this. We have a board of
intrepid entrepreneurs, don't we?
---Karen about Anya Quote T-shirts
Keri- research papers? You're actually supposed to turn those things in? On
time?
---Kristen
My heart pounds. My skin gets flushed and my eyes start to dilate. Little
tremors begin to weave themselves all though out my body and I tense in
anticipation. The only things I can hear are the rushing of my blood and the
hammering of my heart.
My brain clicks off. The only words it can think are excitement, trembling, and
desire. This is an obsession for me. An obsession I willingly obey. How can I
not? Passion makes equals of us all.
I smile. I can feel it almost beginning. 8:55. My toes begin to curl. 8:57. My
thighs clench uncontrollably and it's almost here. Just a little more ... 8:59.
I can feel my body vibrating, pulsating. 9:00.
It's here. The tension snaps. The shivering stops. Smallville's on and now I
just coast until the aftershocks hit me.
---Julie ... [LOL, she’s such a freak with this one, I had to quote the whole entire thing, there’s no way around it. It had to be done. Make everybody raise their eyebrows when they read this, heh heh heh. ;)]
But, hey, the claws look real purty again. Dark, glittery burgundy wine colour.
Verra Sexy. All to impress... utterly no one except myself. Sad. They'd look
great raking down a nice strong naked male back. Or chest. Or thigh. Or...
shutting up.
---Anya
we're so deadmeat now.
---Karen after us wanting to expand the Anya t-shirts to mugs and mousepads
Now, with no further adieu, my grossly overtired body and I are going to the gym
for reasons I'm not to sure about. I'm sure they're good, though. The reasons.
---Anya
People come and go. I've learned that. It's important instead to focus on
the people who STAY. :)
---Allie
i once dislocated my jaw in highschool when i punched myself in the face, just
to test my strength.
---Alex/KiN
Okay let me first say that although I was shocked at how explicit it was
(and yay! I'm all for that, TRUST me!) and even though I was blushing
and squeaking (as demeaning as that sounds! I still CAN be shocked!), it
was all HOT as hell! Good lord! I needed to turn my air on ;) So it's
not that I didn't like it or anything ...more like ..hot damn! *squeak*
---Julie about the first episode of Queer as Folk, heh heh
Once this is all done, I shall collapse quietly. Maybe with some gushy romantic
video. But, quietly all the same. I will have order out of the chaotic mess that
is currently my small apartment. How DO I let things spin out of such control?!
---Anya about her messy apartment
A new year, a new design? I hope you weren't expecting less of me.
---Karen about her site
I shall now go to bed blushing and more than likely, squeaking!
---Julie after watching Queer as Folk
No. Snow is NOT cute. It isn't fluffy little piles of white joy. It's freakin' a
pain in the ass. It's cold. It's wet. It makes driving not fun. It means I have
to shovel the driveway, and it means salt stains everywhere.
Snow is Evil.
---Anya
Oh, and apparently, Anya's Quidditch fic has gotten extremely popular lately.
Word has spread and now one of her favorite published authors has stumbled upon
it. So that part of my website has gotten many hits in the past week or so. Very
interesting. I've been lurking over at those forums reading the comments lately,
and just think how evil it is when we get first crack at the upcoming parts.
Mwahahaha.
---Karen
right after you left, i text messaged two of my friends and told them that i had
made a girlfriend. it's very rare that i am able to hit it off with a girl.
most of my friends are guys, and i was just so stoked to have met such a cool
chick who actually put up with me on an entire plane ride from dallas to
ontario.
---Lexie ... the chick I met on the plane ride back from Texas :)
LOL ..wait a minute. This can't be Keri ...Old Keri would be talking me out of
this and blushing and being all "Julie!!" New Keri is giggling as evily as I am!
Yet another of the reasons I love you :-) Hehe ... Yet why don't others know
you're evil?
---Julie
I wallow in pessimism most of the time, and sometimes it's rewarded. Other times
the universe slaps me in the head and says "Jeezus! Could you be a LITTLE more
hopeful?!"
---Anya
The MySQL manual because I deleted my quotes database. (This is Queenie's fault
because she messed up the uploading and now she's refusing to fix it and she's
in a bad mood.)
---Karen about what she’s reading
Keri: *grins* Chris is trying to pass the torch onto you.
Kristen: Hmmm- there's a torch factor. That's bad. There are already a lot of factors- school factors, family factors, scary life factors- the new story
factor might cause torch droppage, and then maybe a fire.
---Kristen and I in an AIM convo about Ultra Fantasy Action Theater
Don't you dare start saying that you have wasted years. You haven't. You are
living, you have lived, you will live. Time is irrelevant. Every person has his
or her own timeline, own career, own clock. You rock. So hush.
---Allie to me ... [must keep this up to constantly remind me, yes yes]
I have and still am. Dillon's here until the 1st so that's basically the bestest
present I could get *grin* Although I may have to institue Karen's no stuffed
animal clause in the boyfriend contract. This is getting ridiculous. I can't
complain much because I love it, but he gave me a huge ass
freaking Christmas bear. I already have a huge ass freaking teddy bear and I
guess he decided that one bear would be just too lonely all by himself. Sigh. I
need a bigger apartment now that I have two of them :)
---Julie
Karen: Oh and Julie, the no Stuffed Animals clause should then next be followed by the no Jewelry clause.
Julie: *gasp* a non jewelry clause!? Are you nuts!?!
---Karen and Julie on the MB
Reviews have been effusive and generous. Most importantly, people laughed until
they snorted carbonated beverages. If I can't make them cry, I want them to burn
their sinuses instead.
---Anya on sharing her Harry Potter spoof fic “Naked Quidditch Match” with fans
Kristen: I'm totally asleep during the day. I'm a total owl.
Keri: I gotcha. lol, for some reason picturing you as a "total owl" makes me laugh.
Kristen: Wow. I just spent a good two minutes trying to perfect an owl noise. That could very well qualify as sad.
---Kristen and I in an AIM convo
SQUEE!!!! I got the Season One DVD of Felicity today and Buffy's Once More, With
Feeling album. Happy Birthday Merry Christmas to me Oh hell. I'm spoiling myself
for no reason at all. Except I wanted to squee. So I did :) I'm very happy right
now ;)
...
I was just reading my horoscope and it said this: While retail therapy is the
typical Libra way of dealing with drama, say no to spending sprees now. Oh how
true. So so true. If only I read that earlier today.
---Julie
I was looking up my sign recently, and sometimes I wonder if I was born under
the wrong one.
---Karen
I have Harry Potter Tickets!
YES!
For tomorrow night. At 6:15pm. Wheeee!
Very happy!
Excited.
Thrilled!
(Little things bring joy. Harry Potter brings Geeker Fan Joy)
---Anya
Trust is a delicate thing. When someone breaks trust, be it family, friend,
romance, whatever - it is always hard. I always say I have many acquaintances
but few true friends.
---Allie
hmmm, i've been rethinking my future endeavors of being a filmmaker/illustrator
... cuz now with a hard dedication of strict dieting, serious work ethics and
rythm training i can be a back up dancer
yes, yes i know. i only made this life altering decision after watching the new
christina aguilera video "dirty"and i believe with all this hard work combined
in 500 years i will be able to bump and grind with the best of them and have my
filthy pathetic ways with all of them, mwahahahhahahahahha
'cept for the guys of course.
ahem.
---KiN/Alex
So heh ...my cold's better. I however, am stressed all to hell! Killing me did
no good as I have "unfinished" business ...grrrrrrrrr. Damn that loophole!
---Julie about when I "killed" her because she had too much homework to do, by her own blessing, of couse ;)
Merry Christmas!
And a Bah Humbug to today in general.
---Karen
So, if I've removed you from MY friend's list, it's not that I don't love you
anymore, it's that you never write, you never call... what good are you?
(Kidding! Really!)
---Anya...lol, is she talking about me? ;)
KiN - I can't believe anyone's cooler than you. You're the coolest! Everyone else is just lukewarm.
---Julie to Alex
Blow off jerks. They're everywhere, and their stupidity can choke your sense of
reason, but just ignore them. They're not worth the powder. (You know, the gun
kind...)
---Kristen
*laughs* You know, I think I'm going to be a very good therapist one day because
of all my practice with you ;-)
---Julie
i walked into a moving car, um, as a child in my ninja costume
(it was halloween, i'm not that bizarre. well..)
i didn't realize the mechanics of the suit, which had a slit on the side,
revealing my tightie whities. yes, i'm sure some pedos got an eyefull that day.
---Alex/KiN
You know it's a crazy day when...
You trip over a bloody air conditioner that's on the floor
---Karen
A bitch-slapping really does need to occur here.
---Julie in regards to a chick hittin’ on my girl :-p
I am... SO BORED.
*sigh* Nothing is entertaining me. And this, fyi, is a big problem.
---Anya
It was so heavenly too... as soon as you step inside, you smell chocolate chip
cookies baking. I swear, I'm in the wrong line of business. I should go and open
a bakery instead. It just seems so much more satisfying: you get to be creative,
play with your food, and I'm sure all that just smelling all those desserts will
fill you.
---Karen
LOL I'm all up for Keri the Travel Agent. I'd use you exclusively. (LOL ...that
sounds bad but you know what I mean) ;-)
---Julie
Anyway, back to the Gay thing. You know how men sometimes say watching two women get it on does it for me. Read a fic someone pointed out to me. Two gay men getting it on. Is it deviant to say that I really enjoyed that fic, or is that a case of the shoe being on the other foot? Particularly liked the mental picture of one of the two men licking his way up the calf of the other.
*nod* Thought so. I desperately need to get laid.
---Anya
I am a sexy bitch.
---Chris
Chris! You've had your sex change! Welcome to the world of sexy-bitches.
*smooch* I was wondering when you'd quit that bastard team and get over here.
You knew you wanted to. Imagine the freedom of no longer having to "aim" when
you urinate? And, the perks, inflatables (breasts) for whenever dumped into
large bodies of water and too tired to tread.
---Anya in response to Chris’s "revelation", hehehe
I'm gonna kick it very very ... gently.
---Allie when her computer wasn't working well
LOL this is just one of the many reasons why I love conversations with you
....you end up saying I'm right a lot ;-)
---Julie
With 3 hours between classes, you could always update your website Jules. I
mean.. you're coming close to setting a record at 2 months now. At this rate,
you may top Keri.
---Karen
So, NQM has been posted at Gryffindor Tower. This has been an amusing process.
First, these people are OBSESSED with Ginny/Harry. It's hilarious. I got an
email today asking if I was EVER gonna say whether or not Ginny & Harry snogged.
*snicker*
---Anya about “Naked Quidditch Match”
I think that's perfect ..time's gone fast but at the same time, it's going slow.
Like now is going fast but the future seems to be taking forever.
---Julie
And I'm required to schmooze. I don't schmooze.
Ever.
---Anya on a work schindig
Anya: I like the efferevescent "banner" on this board. Just like Alka-selzor, it's soothing.
Karen: It does look nice, doesn't it? Though, maybe it should have fish swimming around as well. Heh.
---Anya and Karen on the MB
As usual, love our talks. To recap:
-I'm smart
-You can handle the work required in a psych major
-It really is sadistics!
-You and Sara are just plain cute!
-Keri spoilage is always good
-Men need to remember anniversaries
-Or they will die
-Take seeing our SOs when we can :-)
-Thinking about the future sucks! So don't ..or not too often :-)
---Julie in a recap of our whole conversation
Anyways, you guys!!!!! I'm so embarrassed now about everything I used to talk about!
---Sagie as she has now entered the college world
When did we get old? Are we old? And, does this make Keri and Jules old when little Sagey comes back to You GUYS us.
---Anya
Who isn't squeeing at all ....nope. SQUEE!!!!!!!!!!
---Julie on herself
I know none of ya'll probably watch Smallville but I've just gotta do this ...
SQUEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best f**king episode EVER!!!!!!
I swear I was going to have a heart attack because of the heart palpitations
...and it was really hard to breathe ..and I was majorly shrieking and
squeeing!!
Oh dear lord ...I could die now and be totally freakin' happy!!!
---Julie loves her shows
SHOULD I BE WORRIED?
The digital temperature gauge in my room reads: 66.6.
---W i l l
I love sore muscles. They make my world go round. Well. Actually, they rather
make my personal world come to a grinding halt, but, whatever.
---Anya
Hehe :) You do indeed get the title of Bestest Girlfriend Ever ;) I'm
sure Sara'll back me up on that *grins* I actually went to go look at
the pictures again and I really couldn't help the "aww" reaction ..it's
just so sweet, and well, perfect <3
---Julie on my anniversary gift, hehehe, I love getting praised, lol
You scare me. ‘Nuff said.
---Anya about Queenie being research girl
Julie: Ooohh Research Girl .... Where does dust come from?
Queenie: "70% of household dust is made up of discarded skin cells"
If you're grossed out, it's not my fault. I'm just the research girl. =P
---Julie and Queenie ... [can anybody else say ewww??]
I am in a Mood. One not condusive to putting up with the morons and fools in my
world.
---Anya
He got mad at me. Yep.... He. Got. Mad. ... At. Me. And hung up.
I'm really starting to think women would be much easier to date.
---Julie
I am ALWAYS innocent until it can be proven otherwise. And we require empirical data for that proof.
---Anya
Oh man ... I am going to hell!
So this is a first for me ...A couple of REALLY cute Mormon guys came to my door to talk to me about Jesus. And I was having impure thoughts about the blonde the whole time!
I am officially going. to. hell.
---Julie
Just remember, the cute blonde may have 50 wives already. That'd be a complete turn-off, right?
---Karen to Julie
After what seems like ages, I finally got all of parts I think I need to build a new computer. In the end, I felt like I had to give blood, or my first-born, in order to get the rest of the parts at a decent price.
---Queenie
Dear Buffy Writing Staff,
Please make Buffy shut up.
Those speeches have got to go.
Thank you.
Julie
---Julie after a Buffy episode
You, our former RT have always posed with an aspect of innocense. For as long as I could recall, you posed to be "Sweet Innocent Keri". To which I say: HA! And this test proves that still waters run deep.
---Anya
Julie: Thank you Anya. There should be more women in the world like you.
Anya: My Mama would SO disagree. She thinks one of me is one too many for this poor planet. And she WONDERS why no man will reproduce with me. Yeesh.
---Julie and Anya on the MB
If the goddess says it's wrong, I suppose it is. However, the goddess CAN be wrong at times. :-)
---Karen about Anya
I whimpered as I saw my bed. All the fluffy pillows and the cuddly duvet...I literally whimpered. The small cry did tear from my throat and my forehead did furrow. I had to run away.
It's not that I'm tired, because I'm not, but it looked so damn inviting. I can still hear the pillow's crying for me...
---Anya
I think I'm growing fangs. I've bitten myself inside my mouth in at least three places--more than once--of late. Maybe, as people say, I really am a vampire...
---W i l l
Dear Buffy Writers,
Please have the First Evil, like, do something becides talking. people. to. death.
Thank you.
Julie
---Julie after a Buffy episode
I've always maintained women need a 12 step program to becoming gay. It might help our sanity if we could haul out a threat to our men. "I can switch teams, you know, and THEN where will you be?"
---Anya
Allie: Remember you can sing backup or a duet or whatever you want
Allie: when i have my first album
Keri: Woo hoo! ;)
Allie: I'm serious! :) You do!
---Allie and I in an AIM convo about our music
I am deeply offended that you think all I think about as sex! I keep telling you that you are sooo worse than I am when it comes to that, now you will totally have to believe me :)
I was all ...how can anyone think of sex when they look at this picture? It's a frog dammit! Or a bug. Or a dragonfly. I saw pelvises a lot though ...usually right in the middle. And then they'd ask you to describe the person or what the person is feeling ..and I'm all ..there is no person in that inkblot! It's a freaking frog!
---Julie to me after the Inkblot Test said I’m driven by sexuality and she’s driven by resistance, hehehe
My apartment is so clean, I'm almost traumatized by it.
---Anya
