I know that feel, man. There is still tomorrow to do something, since you have it off. You know, enough time to grab a few brews, kick back, watch some Mad Men before the premiere this sunday, you know.

No alcohol...okay now I really empathize. I'm down to only two or three beers and I have no scotch or wine.

I wasn't going to bring it up until we started measuring, but I'm abundantly stocked with Hennessey. Had quite a few already, on my fewth. And I'm dabbling in that greenery as well. Spring break at home  :hat

I'm talking on FB to my incredibly hot female friend  whom I've had a thing for for literally going on 10 years now. She's making feel a bit better.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Oh yea. Long story short... she is the girl I feel the most comfortable with. Like... even over my (whatever Panda is to me at the moment)... This girl... she was my ex's best friend in high school and later on. I always had a huge crush on her and my ex knew it and used it to her advantage. Fun times were had. There was a moment when my relationship wasn't going well when she and I could have became a thing. It never happened but to this day I still wonder about what could have been. After my ex and I broke up for good I kinda tried going after this girl. At that time though she was living in Bakersfield (a good couple hour drive from me) and soon moved to PA and then CO, which is where she is now. Living with her... fiance.  Oh well.

True. But in this case, and I have actually fucking discussed it with her, Its almost better to have her as a friend than possibly fuck up our relationship with anything more.

True, sometimes once you lose that friendship it's worse than having lost her as a girlfriend.

I kinda wish I had that mentality in high school. My ex that I speak of was my best best best friend for 2 years. After dating for 4 years and breaking up... I found that the hole left from not having her friendship was even bigger and deeper than the hole left from the romantic aspect of it.

Good morning.

Jay, the theme will be turned off at some point today.  I can't give you a more exact time because I don't have anything to do with the technical side of things.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I feel like when using this theme I should be waiting for my ICQ to go off, or maybe my AIM messenger.

I had some regular 16x16 custom smileys that I used all the time. They were hilarious.

Anything bigger than that or animated -

Anyway - speaking of things that aren't dry shaven raw cojones .....


Why are there no pain killers in the jungle ?

Because the PARROTS EAT 'EM ALL ! :neverusethis:

So are Aspirin & Paracetamol known by that worldwide ?

I know in the US they use Tylenol. Is that a brand name ?

Tylenol is a brand name for acetaminaphin.

I miss my custom emoticons so much. I used to have a workaround to use the larger icon size for non animated emoticons too. Then Microsoft forced everyone over to Skype, which is nowhere near as good for instant messaging as MSN was, sadly. I'm hoping one day they'll bring back the custom emoticons, because when I'm chatting with people I used to chat to on msn, we still type out the old emoticon triggers. Good times.

^ Pretty much my thoughts verbatim.

Skype is terrible for Instant Messaging. the day they introduce custom icons is the day I bring back all my saved MSN smileys.
