After reading that, I feel like my IQ had just dropped to Anna Nicole levels. In other words, I'm clinically retarded.

I don't even know where to start with making fun of that, so all I'll offer you are my condolences, MFL!

Thank you god! Someone sympathizes with me. She is ne of the most annoying, dim witted people alive and the principal of the school I'm trying to get into (high school) told her she was bright! Make fun of it as much as you want. At least I will ahev some laughter in my life.

You should tell her that if she's not sending you a text message, there's no excuse for the cell phone talk (i.e. "wich", "tru", "ur", etc.). And girl uses "like" more times than Ashlee Simpson!

Galixygirl123 [10:11 P.M.]: ya well ur just a whore and a slut wanna-be
Galixygirl123 [10:11 P.M.]: (good one huh?)

Yeah. GOOD one. Is it possible to be a whore AND a slut wannabe? That's redundant and contradictory all at the same time? That's like saying you're just a murderer and a killer wannabe! Fool.

If my sister were here to read that, MFL, I know exactly what she would say. "That hurts my heart."

Fair Lady, I am so sorry you are subjected to that. You're far to bright to have to listen to such crap and kill your brain cells.

Tiff, did you really quit?

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 11/20/04 at 10:38pm

Well, not so much quit as not have an opportunity to bum a smoke off someone, but that's just semantics.

[Delphine]

Posted: 11/20/04 at 10:43pm

Tiff, invasive question: how old were you when you started smoking?

[insomniak]

Posted: 11/20/04 at 10:44pm

So are you really not doing it? That didn't make sense to me.

I have not had a cigarette in my mouth for over a week.

Delph - Waaay too young. Like, grade 9. (That's what, 14 years old?) But that was just "social smoking". I didn't "smoke-smoke" until I was around grades 11-12, because I spent a lot of time on film sets and that's what "you do". Now I just smoke when I'm stressed. I just happened to be stressed a lot.

I'm proud of you, Tiff. Try to keep it up.

I've never smoked. Part of me is curious, but I know better.

My grandmother died due to complications from her smoking. Ever since her death I've been very wary of cigareettes and have absolutely no interest in trying one.

Good job, Tiff. Keep it up! [/sappiness]

Yeah, my parents had a heart-to-heart with me in grade 9 before they found out I smoked, and my dad said his biggest regret in life was starting to smoke (at that time, he'd quit for a few years after 20+ years of smoking). Then he caught me smoking a week later, and made me donate $1000 of my after school job money to the Canadian Lung Association.

Wowie.

Me too, Delph. Both my grandfathers died of it. One of them was on an oxygen tank for years before he passed away.

ewwwwww how can you smok thats discusting ewwwwwwww

If it makes anyone feel any better, it's not an addiction per se. If I'm not upset or stressed about something, I don't feel a need to smoke. Like I said a while ago, everyone has their one self-destructive vice when they're angry at themselves. Some people binge eat, some people cut themselves, some people stay in bed for a month. For me, I smoke a quick ciggie and move on.

[Delphine]

Posted: 11/20/04 at 10:58pm

That does make me feel better, Tiff. Just don't let it get out of control.

[insomniak]

Posted: 11/20/04 at 10:59pm

There are junkies who say that too. I'm not trying to pick on you, but you know...

Just take care of yourself, chica. We want you to be around when we're all old and gray in nursing homes, still pounding away at our keyboards on bww.

What is sad about that is that I can actually see myself at the age of eighty, sitting with my fifty cats, posting on these boards.

[insomniak]

Posted: 11/20/04 at 11:12pm

Only fifty?

And yeah. I have never posted consistently or spent as much time on any other board. bww is the record by a mile.

Did I tell you I had a presentation a few weeks ago for my "gender in the legal profession" class and I had to address whether or not I plan to have a romantic relationship while I'm a lawyer. I, without thinking, opened up my speech saying, "As for whether I plan to have a personal life during my practice, let's just say, if things keep going the way they are now, I'll be old and decrepid, living alone with my 20 cats who'll eat away at my dead body. So let's just say NO."

[insomniak]

Posted: 11/20/04 at 11:19pm

OUCH.

I think I want forty-seven cats.

That wasn't as bad as my presentation at work about a human rights issue that was going. I was discussing my defense of a neo-Nazi who wants to gain refugee status in Canada, and I meant to say that he lacked "public favor", which would likely prevent him from entering. Unfortuately, I misread and mispronounced, and I said (in front of a LOT of very important immigration officials and lawyers) that "Mr. Zundel's application may be hindered by the fact that he currently lacks pubic flavor, and will likely be the reason he is denied asylum into Canada."

Oh.

That sucks. Did it hurt your chances of getting the job?

Ooooooooooh. Not good.

Posted: 11/20/04 at 11:31pm

Oh, Tiff, that's pretty funny. Did your coworkers giggle? (I sure would have.)
