ThePinkSuperhero invites you to speak about yourself in the third-person.
danf is wondering whether half price tickets to the touring Mamma Mia would be worth it. danf is almost sure that ThePinkSuperHero would have an opinion.
Lauren is 44 going on 20 at times. She regrets, for example, the fact that she missed the mechanical bull on campus yesterday because she would have loved seeing if she could beat the campus record of 50 seconds.
She loves to laugh and loves to talk to people. Frankly, she loves to just talk. A lot. She loves to teach people stuff and learn about everything. She keeps a list of things she'd like to experience/learn/do before she dies. One thing she checked off the list a couple years ago was "experience free fall".
She knows she needs to lose some weight but likes sweets too much. She's never really felt less popular or less desirable because of her weight, which doesn't help her motivate to lose it.
Deadcowdan does not do interviews. No information about deadcowdan is available at this time. Deadcowdan's lawyer has suggested that he not post to this thread, but he is doing it anyway. Deadcowdan is not planning to run for public office at this time.
Sperose is currently very frustrated with her life and feels the need to whine about it constantly, but to no avail because the thing she is looking for and feels would make her life complete doesn't exist. (In theory, of course.)
middleclasstool is currently sleepy and dehydrated after a night of drinking too much. middleclasstool is also currently trying to decide whether he will overcome his laziness and sleepiness long enough to go poop. middleclasstool is disappointed in how unproductive he has been today, and so he has resolved to deal with the situation by napping.
Ambrosia doesn't know quite how to refer to herself in third person. AV needs to settle down and own up to a handle. Amber Rae could tell you that people in her life adopt similarly multimodal approaches to this problem. They are all silly girls.
Stewie would be a much better person if she were able to have a nap right now. The twitching in her left eye, spring allergies and overall stress is creating a synergy of suck. Her office smells of the strawberries on her desk, in a bad way.
rainbaby catches the damn ball when she wants to catch the damn ball. rainbaby also prefers to employ Pluralis Majestatis rather than the third person, but is in an accommodating mood. rainbaby wonders why no spell check feature lately, and in this sentence, sounds like Bigfoot.
Specklet also has allergies and a twitchy left eye, and also pleads with it to stop.
She also wishes her skin was better, but somehow can't bring herself to stop eating cheese. "I love it so much," she says "taking it away from me would be like taking away... wine. Or air."
Mygothlaundry is trapped at the museum front desk right now and it's Free Wednesday, a horrible two hours in which she is inundated with psycho homeschoolers, 32 children from the YWCA afterschool center and more, including toddlers playing in the gift shop. She has a headache and is really looking forward to kicking everyone out in the meanest way possible in 10 minutes and then going home and drinking a beer.
Sil now has two kitchens in her rented house. Her rented house will be a duplex at the end of July, and she will lose 1/2 her living space for $200 off what she is paying now.
Even she is confused by why her landlord thought she should be happy about the second kitchen.
Daniel Charms is drinking tea and is immensely enjoying it. He looks at the clock: it's past midnight, but he doesn't want to go to bed yet. He has too much on his mind.
He pours himself another cup of tea: it's a small Japanese cup, so he has to refill it quite more often than he's used to. He doesn't mind, though. Japanese tea is different from what he normally drinks and these tiny cups emphasize the difference.
The cup is now empty. He puts it down: it was the last one for tonight.
Sabrina is pretty sure her landlady is in the downstairs hallway, in which case she can almost certainly smell smoke coming from the upstairs apartment. Sabrina knows she isn't supposed to smoke in the house, but it has never been stated outright, nor is it in her lease. Also, Sabrina's downstairs neighbor smokes and said he does not mind her smoking. Sabrina does not have an upstairs neighbor, so why should she not smoke in her own home?
Sabrina does not wish to talk to her landlady today, and thus left the month's rent check in drawer under the entryway mirror.
Sabrina feels her landlady is a nice but extremely noisy old woman who talks too much. Sabrina feels she should not have to see this woman every month.
Sabrina is concerned her landlady will stay in the building longer than it takes for Sabrina's pizza to arrive.
Sabrina is wearing white sweatpants on top of blue underwear and doesn't particularly want anyone to spend an extended time viewing her right now.
Big, grand theories filled with pronouncements and indicators, but that eventually dwindle into obviousness and outright whimsy.
Lipstick Thespian had a good theory going about a matching pair of black Labrador Retrievers he saw an hour ago, but then it dissolved into the usual "oh! Doggie!" type of thought.
But right before that, when the theory was fresh and new, Lipstick Thespian knew he was onto something.
Specklet is cold if she takes her sweater off, and is too hot if she put it on. Also, her bra is itchy. These things are very irritating, and she can't wait to get out of work and go cook dinner for her friends.
mudpuppie, perhaps eponysterically, has lots of dirt caked under her nails from two hours' work in the community garden plot. She is soon to go have a beer at the farmers' market, but she is not going to clean her nails beforehand because they, in effect, say HEY YOU! I DID SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE TODAY! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO, HUH??
She might wash her feet and armpits, though, because she thinks they probably say something a little bit different.
Stewbrain (there are lot of family-borne riffs on this nickname) had to work an hour later than she expected and is annoyed. She also may have sunburned her tomato seedlings in a good-faith effort to harden them off.
Sasshat is finally home after a trip full of planes, trains, automobiles, and even a ferry! Sasshat does not want to go to work tomorrow. Sasshat has nothing in the fridge but questionable eggs. Sasshat is eating licorice scottie dogs from Trader Joes instead.
danf is wondering whether half price tickets to the touring Mamma Mia would be worth it. danf is almost sure that ThePinkSuperHero would have an opinion.
ThePinkSuperhero missed this comment, somehow, until Stynxno pointed it out. ThePinkSuperhero believes half-price tickets would be worth it, as she saw a touring production of Mamma Mia several years ago, and it was very fun. ThePinkSuperhero suggests you go for it.
Claudia of San Francisco is only 42, but honestly she acts about 102. Last week she did one of those jigsaw puzzles -- 1000 pieces and every one looking almost the same, just some field of flowers. Oh, and tonight she's watching some Miss Marple BBC crap she Tivo'd -- I mean, what the hell? Honestly, my grandmother is more fun, and she's practically in a coma.
elizard gets to sleep in tomorrow, and so is deciding whether to watch an old Joan Crawford movie or Snatch, which she has seen a couple of times already. She couldn't be arsed to cook dinner, so is eating last night's popcorn, which wasn't that good to start with. She wishes she had some wine.
danf did not get his ass to the box office on 'half price wednesday' and thus did not score said tickets. this had nothing to do with TPS's delayed answer.
