Em, don't feel badly! I just wasn't sure what to say or do. I hope everything works out for you.

Hi Amanda! Nice to see a new face on the thread. I actually think his voice is better now than it was years ago. :)

Hi Amanda2, you just happened to pop in at a stressful moment here. I'm sorry everyone, and hope you're all feeling better.

I just spent a nice afternoon with Camerangel, who's visiting NYC. She's just as bubbly and funny in person as she is online.

Welcome, Amanda. Sorry you joined us on such a down day.

To lighten things up, here's a totally frivolous complaint. I just got a new cell phone and the instruction booklet is 150 pages long. If my old one were working a little better I'd just forget the whole thing.

I read a really great article in the New Yorker a few weeks ago that was making fun of the fact that you can't buy "just a phone" anymore. It was a fake instruction manual that was like "to operate in pancake maker mode, do this. To operate in personal robot mode, do this. To operate in weather forecaster mode, do this. If phone does this, leave area immediately and seek shelter." I'll see if I can find it in my dorm. It was REALLY funny.

I think that after fifteen pages, it stops being a "let" and becomes an actual book. After fifty, it's a manual. After a hundered, it's ridiculous and at one-fifty, it can be labeled by a word that will be censored on this board.

That's great! And so true. I'm sorry I don't subscribe to it anymore. My favorite New Yorker cartoon is the one about our limited brain capacity - read one fax machine manual and out goes all of our knowledge of French Impressionism.

Emcee, that's hysterical. You have to find that article. Would it be online?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 11:43pm

I'm not sure if they put them online. I MAY still have it in print, if I do, it's short enough that I can type it up for you, but if I have it's in my dorm, not here.

[luvtheEmcee]

They have a website, but I can't seem to find the article.

[insomniak]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 11:53pm

Do you remember the title? I'll try to help.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/30/05 at 11:56pm

No, that's the problem. I searched "cell phone" and "manual," but I think it had some really oddball title.

ello all ... I have been in a funk lately too so I forced myself to go to the movies tonight with some friends ... We saw the Jennifer Aniston movie and while it was no Rent, it was worth the insane ticket price. It felt good to laugh and not have to think for awhile!!!

Catching up, man you guys post a lot…

DancNdaMoonlite- Thanks, I have always really loved your avatar too!

Wickedrentq- I didn’t go to chatterbox, my choir teacher got him to talk to us when we visited NYC, he talked about his life and his work, and then taught us “The Gods Love Nubia” from Aida, and then Heather Headley came in and sang it with us. Then she talked with us for a few minutes. It was really amazing.

I’m so sorry to hear about everyone’s problems with their moms. My mom and I have a great relationship, but my dad and I… well, let’s just say I know how it is to do something/love something/be something that goes against everything a parent believes in, and it hurts a lot. It’s so great to have a support system- even in message boards and such, because sometimes you just need to take your mind away from it all and obsess like a fangirl over something completely unimportant in comparison to your ‘real’ life.

Okay, and now I am gonna vent, because I can and I know you guys will listen: Whose bright idea was it to invent dentists? I had my wisdom teeth out (all 4 of them, all impacted) and it really sucks. It’s been like two weeks and I am in more pain now then I was the first day. ARRRGGG. I am high on pain killers and in pain (which is so not fair). *listens to Rent for soothing frazzled nerves*
[/end vent]

Okay, back to the reason for this thread: ADAM. I love Adam, he rocks. Show me one whole page of this thread that is ALL about Adam, lol.

Okay friggin weird symptoms...I go from being extremely nauseous to napping for a bit and wake up w/ just a little headache and am hungry. Of course a person w/ common sense wouldn't eat but of course I have none so I stuff myself. Oh well, going to sleep soon, *really* hope I'm okay tomorrow.

Em and everyone, don't worry about 'bringing us down." If it had that bad an effect, we wouldn't read or try to help. Maybe sometimes we start looking at negatives and such but it's necessary to do that sometimes, helps us get **** off our chests, or in my case, I was getting sick anyway.

Besides I wanna be a psychologist...I'm doomed if I can't handle my own mood when listening and trying to help others deal w/ bad stuff. Em, now that I was able to read what I missed w/o getting awfully dizzy...I think you're going about this the wrong way. The strongest friendships are the hardest to ruin, but at the same time one bad fight can mean more harm and take longer to get over. Just have faith. Time will pass and strong friendships are not as easy to end as they seem during fights.

Hi Amanda! Boy, this could get confusing...

ugh, wisdom teeth! Mine are coming in, but my parents don't want me to have them removed.

"because sometimes you just need to take your mind away from it all and obsess like a fangirl over something completely unimportant in comparison to your ‘real’ life. "

Hmm I have mixed feelings about this statement. I do see what you're saying and it makes perfect sense...but...I don't like to call my obsessions completely unimportant in comparison to my real life. I mean, sure there are things that happen in life much more important...but I feel now that bway is a part of my life...maybe not the most important, but a part. I mean there's a reason I love a certain show or certain performer and I refuse to think that wow this is unimportant (I know that's not at all what you were trying to say, I do understand, just some thinking I do). I mean, seriously my bway experience this past year has been like my college experience...NYC feels like my campus and you guys seem like my dorm friends who I talk to all the time and at any moment, plus I had more friends at the bway flea market then in my entire community college!

Hi Amanda!

I wish I could do something more to help you all. I hate reading that and not being able to DO anything. I now have two options for tomorrow night (family tradition or friends with a birthday and more) and at this point people are going to be mad/hurt/upset with me no matter which one I choose. I wish I could send a double. (o, Alias)

...yay for happier thoughts.

[Amanda3]

Wow, very friendly over here. Thanks for the welcome!! haha that manual thing sounds hilarious. It is so true though! Speaking of movies anyone see that King Kong movie yet? I havn't but it's supposed to be good!

Emcee, they HAVE to come out. My friend put off getting hers out and they caused her throat to swell. She was having trouble breathing a few days before her operation.

Shiksa, I'm sorry. *hug*

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 12/31/05 at 12:15am

Yaay some advice I feel equipped to give lol...Alix, I've been in your situation quite a few times, sometimes i've chosen different options, but...I would always say go w/ the family. The one year I slept over my friend's house I ended up calling home and hearing about the games they played and missing it. I mean, since NY seems like such a family tradition for you, you don't wanna miss something that happens once a year--you can always find another day to have fun w/ friends. Just what I'd do and have done in your shoes, but do what makes you happy.

I HATE dentists. I had 10 cavities when I was 4 and I was in there for hours, I've hated the feeling of my cheeks falling asleep ever since.

My parents don't believe in surgery unless it's life-or-death. My dentist says he thinks only one will likely be a problem, and that the other three MIGHT be. My mom says we'll get a surgeon's opinion, but she'll try to talk me out of it.

[insomniak]

Posted: 12/31/05 at 12:16am

Alix, I'd go with the friends. You'll feel left out afterwards if they talk about it and you weren't there.
