U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 115

I like chocolate. And steak, but I'm with Elphie. Who wants to eat raw flesh? Like, ew. PLUS I saw on TV that sometimes there are little parasite eggs that aren't killed when steak is cooked rare, and they showed this man who had a 20 foot tapeworm pulled out of his intestine. 'Twas gross.

But, I mean, there's a difference between eating gray meat and medium/slightly pink meat. I get grossed out when it's so soft that it looks nearly raw and there's blood all over the plate, though.

Thanks for the offer, #1. Wait until the day I crack from Atkins, and you'll be getting a merry PM from me. Do you find things to be cheaper in NZ because of their currency?

*sigh* Our food differences are a long story. A long, and (I'm going out on a limb here) boring story! Not really worth recounting here.

You're preaching to the choir, honey! I lived w/ a fruitarian. She actually believed the carrots had feelings and were being killed, having their little souls quenched out when they were forcibly ripped from the ground. She would only eat fruit (this only lasted 4 days mind you, but STILL) because it had fallen freely, of its own will, when it was ready to leave its home in the tree and give itself to be eaten. Ummmm, yeah, I'm sure the fruit at the NYC bodega lovingly collected their fruit only after it had freely fallen off the tree. I'm sure that apple was forcibly ripped from the brances by some sharp clawed machine or roughly plucked off by workers. Give me a break!

*looks around*...Poodlebear...*points to self* Oh, me? Good friggin LORD!!! Tiff, my love, I just don't think it's in me to pay $50 for a steak. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a fun divey place. We'd have more fun being loud and obnoxious there anyway!

If I was going to have an oven in my kitchenette, I'd offer to make a steak. I can only do so much w/ my George Foreman. Steak really isn't it's specialty.

Yeah, the fruitarian thing was super crazy! The funniest part of it was the fact that she bought a sweatshirt from the book store during fruitarian week. I wouldn't give it a rest that she seemed to care more about potatos than the children that slaved away for 10 cents a day in a sweat-shop to make that sweatshirt!....and then I ate some carrots in front of her. I'm kind of evil that way.

---

Oooooh, I totally made "don't eat me!!!! Ahhhhh!!!" type pleas in a little carrot-y voice! I'm tres mean!

OMG, I don't know what I would have done w/o Georgie! It'd be a living hell! I'll definitely have a little kitchenette. I've got to bring my microwave (and George of course...and find a good place to hide him) and a 2 burner stove-top and a fridge. I'm not sure if the room I've got has a mini dorm fridge or a regular fridge w/ a freezer. I guess I'll find out soon enough. Move in is Sept. 5th.

Hooray for broadening your food horizons, and for unloading your essay, Elphie! I used to be a lot pickier before I went to school, but then it started to become too much of a hassle and I toned it down a little. Though I do still have my moments!

And yeah, I don't get fruitarians/vegans/whatever other crazy thing your can come up w/. I can understand not wanting to consume animal biproducts (to an extent) because of the mistreatment of animals, being cooped up in crampt quarters, etc. While that's not going to stop me from enjoying an omlette or having a slice of cheese, I can at least see that as a progression from vegetarianism...BUT, to think that it's wrong to take milk from cows, honey from bees, etc, because it's not ours to take??? That seems like a bit of a stretch. If the chicken's gonna lay the eggs anyway, why can't someone eat it?!?!?

Anyway, I'm off for the night. It's getting kind of late, and I have to drag my ass out of bed at 7am for work. Booo!!! But at least it'll be Friday! And it's Napoleon's b'day (as well as his last day at the office) so that should provide some good laughs!

Night ladies!!

"#1, how long is each September?"
Sorry, I don't know what that means. Should I?

And the Vermontian has a girlfriend, so there's no hope there. We're buddies, though. He's gone a lot because he skis. We're all wondering how he manages to keep up w/ school because he's gone from Wednesday-Sunday skiing. Right now he's been gone for 9 days skiing (he has races or something). So it's like I hardly ever see him!
I've met a couple of cute Kiwi guys, but nothing to report on yet. I'll keep y'all updated.
And yes, we all have no lives.

"#1, how long is each September?"
Sorry, I don't know what that means. Should I?
Yeah, WTF?!?!? What does that mean, Tiff? Some wacky Canadian saying??

Yeah, I can't believe we spent so much time on here chatting last night!! Though, with the (glaring) exception of groupie, it was the first time in ages we've had everyone on here in one day! Even Jez, for goodness sake!

Vermont is gone from Wed-Sun?!? Every week?!?!? That's kind of crazy! Is he on some sort of team w/ the university? Must be nice!

OK, I'm tempted to go on a lengthy rant because I'm bored at work (and it's only quarter past 10!) but I'll spare you! Though, I will say that I'm significantly worried about my Stones tix, because after seeing the setup for Fenway it's one friggin monstrosity!!! I wonder if they'll change the setup for arenas, since even though this seems to be a primarily stadium tour, there are several arenas. I'm actually more worried about getting stuck w/ that extra ticket. No on will want to buy it if the show's got such a dodgy setup. Should have just bought a single! I think they play another arena before MSG, so we shall see how that's set up, I suppose...Oh, and still no opener for MSG. I'm getting a little freaked though, because for every Wilco/Pearl Jam/Beck, there's a Maroon 5/Jason Mraz/Los Lonley Boys (ugh! They were just announced for Chicago!) I checked schedules and Pearl Jam's in Ottawa the night of MSG, and I even checked Green Day (just for kicks) but they're in Ohio. Booo!!! With the announcement of LLB, I'm nervous that JoJo's going to be on the bill! Ooooh, though I could pull a "hey, we're totally related! Remember the cuz's graduation?!?!? Get me backstage!...MICK!!!!"

ETA:

BLAST!!! Someone was giving away free tix to see Neil Diamond at MSG and no one would go w/ me. Come on, how hilarious would that be?!?!? Bedazzled shirts, talk-singing, and screaming along to "Sweet Caroline"!!! I went through 5 people! *sigh* I could have gone for a good mindless evening of bad, yet catchy, music!

Awww, Elphie!!! We could have had such fun. I love how he doesn't sing anymore, he just kind talks through all his songs. "We're coming to America...Today." Hopefully there'll be all kinds of fun (free) stuff for us to do in the spring!

We have Blackboard at PU. Not many profs use it though. It's kind of convenient though. It's nice when they put up notes, etc. And that's kind of nice that they don't care if/when you go to class. They're really anal about it at PU (I think mainly because the classes are already pretty small, so if we weren't "required" to go to all classes, they'd get tired of teaching to a class of 5 people). I always kind of felt like if you can get away w/ just doing the readings, etc more power to you. I like miss class as little as possible, because if I'm paying such crazy prices for tuition, I might as well get the most out of it! Most of my classes and profs are decent...even though the general business side blows.

How long is each essay? Maybe. I don't know what else she could have meant. I'm glad no one else knows what she was talking about; it means I'm not crazy.
Mabs was mentioned on Cribs! We have a celebrity in our midst! So is JoHo's 'crib' nice?
I usually don't like to miss classes, either. I've only missed 2 here, because I accidentally slept through them.
I should go practice guitar now, but I can't make myself get up. Ug.

It's 11:30am on Saturday morning.
I'm pretty bad at guitar, which is why I have to practice. I think the class that I'm in is too advanced for me, but it's the level they placed me in, so I gotta try and keep up. I don't practice enough. We're playing some good songs, though, like Memory.

ETA: Okay, I'm going now, bye all!
