*hoarse voice* Oh god, I just woke up. I think I'm getting sick. It hurts when I swallow (and that's never been a problem in any medium for me before), I feel groggy and headache-y and nauseous. Oh god. Ugh....

Tiff, I wish I had a comment for you...

I'm down with that Alix

awwww, might i recommend chicken soup? it really does make you feel better, at least temporarily. although, i know that' probably not immediately available to you so maybe three minute soup or something like that? tea w/ honey helps for a throat that hurts when you swallow.
feel better!

Tiff, maybe that rash/conjunctivitis that is plaguing your face spread to the throat. I would get that checked out...

You just wanted an excuse to use the word "conjunctivitis".

hmm...nobody seemed to really reply on th looonnnngg thread I wrote on page 286 (I think)...someone made an attempt to and I thank them but...how about the rest of ya'll?

And whoever asked the question of who was on Tiff's icon- Thank you oh-so very much. I was gonna ask the same question but I just couldn't possibly say it nicely and I didn't want to say she was ugly just in the tiny case it was Tiff...so, now my question has been answered. I mean, if that was picture of you...well, ummm...ok- acceptance is important...so I would accept you I suppose. Although now I am wondering what some of you REALLY do look like? Are any of you green? Anybody have webbed toes or finger? Anybody missing a limb? Anyone missing an ear (I know someone who was.) Any body wear those huge 1950's glasses? Hey- it's not a problem....we all have our "differences" and thats what makes each of us special and unique.

Anywayz- who was talking about breaking up with their bf? Hey honey- I am *thinks about it* 20 years old and not once have I had a boyfriend, nor have wanted one. I mean, I think these days I am started to look but my standards are wayyyyy too high. What guy am I gonna find that doesn't drink, doesn't do any drugs, never smokes, and is still a virgin and wants to be a virgin till marriage? Ya- well, I'm a prude...I know, but find me a guy out there that is all of those things plus a true, honest loving person. **And I don't want one from the nut house or anything like that**
Hmmm...alone for my whole life it seems...

Honestly- I don't really care about how handsome and sexy he is... his commitment, friendship, and personality are what counts most. Beauty is on the inside.

But anyway- back to the person who had this break up. My old roomate had a saying "cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it" And thats what it comes down too....ya can't hang on to someone who isn't there for you. I'm sure there were many great times, but you've realized he's betrayed you so as my friend does ~~Take a box, put all the stuff he has given you in it. Put all the cards and love letters in it. Then write a letter a letter about how you are feeling and put the date on it. Wrap the box in newpapaer or whatever....put it somewhere that you will never look until you move out of the place you are living and have to get all the stuff out. When you find that box (10 years later or whatever), unwrap it, read the letter you wrote about how much he's hurt you. Take a look at what he's given to you and think of how much he was trying to buy your love and then comes to the computer smiling and tell me thanks ~~

~Be happy for what you have and what you own, for their are people who are smiling because a quarter was dropped in their hat~ (obvious reference to Avenue Q)~


And now, for my next 'lecture' *if you will* Food, glorious food. Food and sleep are both over-rated....First off, "what with the freshman 15?" I think it's come to mean something else these days. Seriously, I am in college and I live in an apartment....I have only "real restaurants" to get food in and they cost a lot. So, basically-- every meal is on me. Such as a day like today....I got up at 8:00- left the house at 8:30, drove to college eating 1 very small granola bar. Went to class from 9-10:45, Library from 11- 12, class from 12-1. CLE from 1:30- 4ish. 4-5, grab something to eat...or rather like today, I just drank an iced tea. Then class from 6-9:30 (one 6 minute break- and don't even think about going past the '6' minutes!) then leave at 9:30...*No earlier, G-d forbid!* Then come back to apartment, take a shower, go online till like 2-3am...3-6:30 do homework and study...and then guess what? The next day begins. Hey- no doubt my body is tired and hungry but seriously, if ya just don't have time, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. If you pass-out...well, then you've realized you went a bit too much without nutrition and sleep.

Anyway- I take meds for my paranoia, OCD, anxiety, and depression...and my meds have been chaging so thats partly to do with my weight but in the last 3 months...I think I lost over 30 pounds...oh- and thats even after going on a cruise for 10 days!
But, I wasn't "fat" to begin with but I did need to lose a bit because the other medicine I was on made me gain like 50 pounds!! and before that I was REALLY skinny! Uh- stupid problems, stupid medicine but life must go on...

Anyway- that was today's lecture...lol. But anyway- moral of the lecture is...you gotta live life day by day...nobody likes change, but if change weren't to happen....life would be pretty damn boring...

As a matter of fact...right above my computer is a poster with a butterfly on it and it says "Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become."

And with that, my friends...I announce the lecture to be over.


*MUTTERS TO SELF- Your good at giving advice; now take some of your own!!*

i'm sorry raggy q but at the moment so much writing seems so daunting and overwhelming when i have so much hw to do. isn't that pathetic? but i skimmed!

i think the only posts that long i have the patience to read are anthony's. other than that, i tend to have an issue w/ very long texts on the computer when it's in one post or article. i usually print out articles.

someone want to give me the clifs notes on that post that is attempting to rival war and peace in length??

[Raggy Q poo]

Posted: 1/20/05 at 12:47am

Tiff- Really, it isn't that long...if you think thats long- well, your in for some big surprises when I got more time. I mean, I like to write but that last post was nothin! I had to write a paper in my class last semester and he said it should be 10-12 pages...when mine ended up being 23- it was rejected.... When I do extra work it's not good and when I don't do it, its not good. So, I'm stuck between a rock and a hardplace....
Moving on...


Camerangel- was that in responce to my post? I'm not sure I understood urs? I was trying to create serenity, peacefullness and calmness...

*whines*
This was the longest day EVER. I'm going to sleep now so I can get up early to finish the work that I didn't do tonight. But then, at 12:30 tomorrow afternoon, it is *officially* the weekend.

Goodnight, my darlings.

ok raggy's first post abridged

Hi, ive posted a few and ive got some questions. Age/sex/location...job/school? Bf/gf...how long?

Me- well, I am 20/ female (straight). I live in Philadelphia but I go to college in FL...don't ask- long story.
I like to act crazy and I am obsessed with B-way, especially Avenue Q. I was a psychology major until I realized that I needed major help myself. Then I was/sorta am a special education major...*specializing in sign language hopefully* I love to help people because I have a learning disability myself and well, I've been through a lot of s*** and I just wanna be able to find my "purpose" and help somebody.
But now I wanna switch my major to theater but with every person I tell that too I just get laughed in the face at...sure ain't boosting my confidence. We'll just see how life plans out...

by the way...I LOVE to write so don't expect my posts to be short...

Posted: 1/20/05 at 12:56am

Rebecca~ all I was meaning is that wow it's long and I'm not up for reading it.. My brain is fried after 3 1/2 hours of munchkin songs in the Wizard of oz.. I asked some oen to give methe clifs notes or readers digest version.

Night my Sweet Em!!

Thanks Mistress.. (needed the abridged version)

Post 2 part 1 of 3

someone made an attempt to respond earlier and I thank them but...how about the rest of ya'll?

whoever asked the question of who was on Tiff's icon- Thank you very much.

ok- acceptance is important. I am wondering what some of you REALLY do look like? Are any of you green? Anybody have webbed toes or finger? Anybody missing a limb?

Posted: 1/20/05 at 1:02am

haha- no worries camerangel but the one that was "cliff-noted" was the post from before, before...not on this page but on page 286... The post on this page has not been "cliff noted" yet...lol

And I'm not sure why they need to be...I say everything I do for a reason...I just don't sit here and type random things. I like to write, but I try not to and don't think I really do write unessasariy things. I know people don't have time to read the whole thing but honestly, I prefer if it was totally skipped than either skimmed or given a "cliff notes" version to because as I said I do write each thing for a reason.


Anywayz- ya- so ummm....I wasn't mad at u or anything...I Ruv everyone...well, except the people I don't...

musical mjk- As much as I love cliff notes...I politely ask you to stop only because of well, I won't type it again but just take a look at my last post. Basically, I write what I write for a reason and I think that if someone is going to read it, it should not be broken down into any other forms. Thanks and I Ruv you!!

raggy- just a word of survival advice- don't try to tell other people what to post/what not to post. just as nobody is telling you not to write novels on the board because it's your business, if someone wants to reply to your post, that's their business.
