Falling apart in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I think sometimes tears, as well as headaches and sniffly noses, can be a good thing. They show you in embarrassingly obvious physical form what you've been suspecting for quite some time now: you're in need of a break. I'm in need of a break. Looking back and looking forward are two intensely tiring activities for me at the moment. Looking back I

i feel like i'm only going to be repeating what others have already said but hey... 1/ prostitution ? i had to re-read the question; whether it was "do you think these should be legal" is very different to whether i as an individual approve or disapprove. prostitution for example -- or most of these things on the list i don't have a problem with them being legal (as long as there are restrictions on them), even though i don't approve of them

good thing i know how to spin straw into gold -- is that the same story? and i'm not guessing, this is way funner. now say more inflammatory things so i can abuse you again, since we are still separated by the luxury of at least partial anonymity

i think i know who you are already, it came to me just after i wrote that reply i think but so as not to kill the fun early, i'll play along (plus it would be horribly embarrassing if i were wrong). as for the lesbians on playschool comment, thanks for being honest.

dharma -- a phone cosy? that sounds like the coolest thing i have EVER heard of!!!!! shades -- thanks for the compliment, and i liked the story about your friends unneeded accessories (yes, a car is an accessory). maybe you should give your phone a hooker name -- "honey" or "cinnamon bunny" or something trina -- of course, my bad, jack was definitely first. although eddie and portia were both named in the post-welly inanimate-object

morty is a great name, it has that essential nerdular facet that every phone name should posess. and suz, treat your phone with respect, or it might turn around and bite you with carcinogenic radiation!

your phone needs a cool, worldly name yet with feminine undertones wellington was so named because his first cover had kiwi fruit on it, plus i thought it was a cool name. every phone's name needs to have just the tiniest hint of nerdularity. claudius' name was suggested by my mum as an off the cuff comment but as soon as i heard it i knew it was right. names for you little sheila of a phone could be... well, sheila? maybe rita, mari

ah, mugzie, how much you have to learn every phone deserves a name. admittedly phone-naming was not a practice initiated by me, but rather my good friend matthew, but you have ot admit, anything that your going to spend that much time with, spill some of your deepest secrets and late night conversations into, and is going to be such a catalyst for your relationships with other people deserves to be personified. in fact i would go so far to say

ah, a kindred spirit! i have a bit of a thing for forming emotional attachments to inanimate objects (although wouldn't welly, may he rest in peace, be cross if he heard me refer to him as that). i don't know if i should mention the time i cried when mum threw out my favourite toothbrush for fear of being branded "LOSER" all over again (i didn't even get a chance to say goodbye!). hey, i was a little kid! but yes, welly was special. *eyes gli

hi again misanthropic, you're a bit of an enigma to me.... you seem to hang around on the site but don't have a blog. how are we meant to learn anything about you apart from what we glean from your comments? nah, no jewish guys. nothing against the jews, i think they're great people and i've learned a lot from many of them. don't forget Jesus was a jew! but when something -- or someone -- is the most important thing in your life, all you live

I'm both sad and excited at the same time. A big thing happened to me today and I'm all a fluster of emotions at the moment so please bear with me. Today I had to say goodbye to someone who's been a very important part of my life for a number of years. It's ok, I knew it was coming and he'd been sick for quite some time and I knew it was better to let him go. It's be

Am I sad enough to admit that I love Australian Idol? in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I greet you all tonight with a sheepish grin and some self-conscious sideways glances. I can't say I'm proud, but at least I admit it. I love Australian Idol. It's like those days at school when you would whisper furtively to your best friend behind the toilet blocks the name of the boy you secretly had a crush on. Of course she would "cross her heart, hope

cs, i think your idea is fantastic and i would be a willing publicist and speechwriter for you if you needed me. as for you being too young to run for president, i think you're looking at this situation the wrong way -- this is your time for laying the groundwork. start your media infiltration and propaganda campaign now, make the masses love you, and the day you come of age they won't even bother holding an election, they'll just fast track you to the

or if we could condense our sleeping time somehow -- like go into ubersleep, where an hour and a half of sleep would be like a night's worth. of course in many ways it would only work if the rest of the world operated like that too -- or at least as far as the sort of things i do are concerned, where i have to be communicating with people almost constantly. anyway, it's another one for the To Invent list <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif" border=0 AL

Hey you lot, Well, nearly two weeks since I blogged but I'm here again now so who cares?

i don't know if you really can say "what politician hasn't cheated on his wife" but i definitely agree you have a point. australia should get over it. by all means, vote for who you want to vote for, but from what i have seen mark latham has presented himself as a 'traditional aussie bloke' and if you've really got to go back ten years to a bucks night to dig up dirt, then maybe you're needing to look too hard. i'm not saying it's admirable behaviour b
