Reply to Where to begin in Life Journals Stardock Forums

I think I feel much better just getting all that junk off my chest. You're right, people change, you grow up, and you realize that most of your little dreams/fantasies were exactly that. I think I'm mostly freaking out because in the last three months my life has been flipped upside down. I got the new job in April, then new house in May and the new husband in June. It all changed so fast that I've lost myself in the newness of it all. Plus, I was g

Not gone but possibly forgotten in Misc JoeUser Forums

Hello All! I realize I haven't been seen in these parts in a long while, but I finally remembered my old login information and thought I'd stop by and see how everyone is! I've really missed blogging about my life and about the many random things I think of and I've really really missed reading about my old friends! In the spirit of reunion, here are some things that have happened since my last visit... <font style="line-height: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Arial" size=

anytime you convrse with someone via IM, it is an open door. Does this mean I would have to be in contact with the hacker? Sorry to be so obtuse, I'm just curious. Our IT guy tried to deny me access to programs I needed for my job that my supervisor wanted on my computer. He just doesn't like

What's new with Sugar High Elf in Misc JoeUser Forums

I've been gone for a while -- not out of anger or punishment, but from being very busy. So, here's a quick re-cap of what you've missed of my life (because I know you care so much*): 1. School -- I love school. I was fairly nervous before classes started. I was afraid graduate school would be too hard for me, or that I would be woefully behind the others.

I read the computer policy at my school (I work for a university) and there are no rules against using instant messenger. There is a program provided by the school, but it must be downloaded. My IT guy doesn't want things downloaded (because he's afraid -- even if the program is from the university website or required for my job, for that matter), so my coworkers and I were using web-based chatting. I was not breaking any rules -- I thought I was co

Yesterday, my boss looked over my shoulder and saw that I was chatting with a coworker in another building about a situation that had just happened and that I would soon deal with. I was also had an IM screen open with another coworker in another room, and had asked her some questions about a travel claim I was doing. My boss freaked out on me -- not because

I didn't say you were saying that, I was merely pointing out that some Right Wing Conservatives have this idea that they speak for me... which is what Obama was pointing out -- that the Evangelicals do not speak for all Christians. Second off, you and I can quote the Bible all day long at each other... but that doesn't mean you should legislate your morality or mine. Government should not be imposing Christian ideals on people -- which is exactly what anti-gay marriage is doing. If yo

Be very careful with flea and tick meds on such a young kitty, SHE! (i know it's too late now but if you didn't poison her consider it a serious stroke of luck.) I'm sure we didn't poison her. Our neighbor Jessica has the meds and, as she just got rid of her last kitten, the knowledge of how much to give them. She even has the tiny syringe looking things that you give them the medicine with. We used the kitten amounts of everything. <div c

Actually, I like what he's saying here. He's basically saying that Christians get a bad rap because of a few vocal extremists, and that those few have no right to speak for the majority. Besides, perhaps his version of the Bible says, "'Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?' Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neig

She's asleep in my lap right now... and she hasn't stopped purring. Oh, and that's John holding her in his shirt, and then our neighbor Jessica is holding her in the second picture. Jessica had flea and tick shampoo and gave her her first bath. She was one grubby kitty. The water was nasty. And, since she ran up into John's car after her bath, she's pretty grubby again. John loves this little cat. I know he does, because he wouldn't let her go, even after he got hives.

SHE's new cat in Cats JoeUser Forums

As I was walking home from Walgreens today, I saw my friend John sitting outside his apartment. I stopped to chat, and he told me that there was a kitten around his house. We thought we had seen one a few nights ago, but then we thought it was a neighbor cat. Turns out, it was a kitten and she was, at that moment hiding in a tree. I heard her meow, and saw a ball

Running in the rain in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I went running by myself tonight. It had been raining on and off all day, but the sky looked fairly clear when I left my apartment, and I really wanted to get outside. So, I went, sans umbrella or parka. It didn't start raining until my last run back. At first, I thought I would be annoyed, but then I realized how much I liked running in the rain. I felt like a l

Nice looking place. Thanks! Hmmm does the toilet paper have "county property" stamped on it? Where do you see toilet paper? I like the teddy bear on the bed. Yeah, I've had him since I was 2, and I still sleep with him. I should stop because he's getting worn out, but I plan to continue until I have something else to snuggle. <div class="Articl

I said I wasn't "on the hunt", which I was and am not. I got on the online dating scene to meet people (preferably local) but met Bobo instead. I'm getting away form the online scene because of the aforementioned reasons. This was my second try, but I didn't like it much better than the first. Oh well. I'm not terribly worried about it. Adult life isn't BETTER than college, just different. Like I said, as long as there are new games... And

If you find him at all attractive then I wouldn't be so quick to scratch him off the list. At least see how he responds when you break up with your next partner. It's not so much that I don't find him attractive -- but he's not my type, and I am not his. We make good friends, but I think we'd kill each other if we tried to date. And, he's not in college anymore, and I'm in grad school, so I really hope the rules have changed by now. College wa

Let me guess "Never meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup" right? That's the quote on my MySpace page, actually. I love it. If there's a website for that pattern, could you share? I'd love it, and I can cross-stitch it myself. My mom taught me how.

Yeah, they call me "Hero" so often that I can see why. Well, they don't call me that yet. I'm still getting laughed at... they call me goofy looking, even after I save their lives. Stupid village people. Makes me want to chop their heads off, but then I'm pretty sure that would make me evil.

Ok, I should add "no creeps, murderers, rapists, drug addicts, alcoholics, or guys who list 'brainiacs and sarcasm' as a turn offs" And yes, I have been winked at by guys who have brainiacs and sarcasm listed as turn offs. Seriously, did these guys even read my profile?!? Sheesh John just finished Fable last night... so maybe I'll get to play more now. Or not, he just started a new one, plus he's in the middle of Oblivion. *sigh* I need a better computer...
