Em: I also went swimming with a dolphin! Well, it was more like I was in the water on a platform and it swam around me. I had my underwater camera, so I had pictures. And I got to feed and kiss it. And...I've ridden a horse multiple times, just not on a beach, which I think would be terrific.

You should check out http://www.thelonelyisland.com for some GREAT Andy Samberg pre-SNL stuff. The other two guys from the site were hired as writers for SNL around the same time Andy was cast. They're brilliant.

Swimming with dolphins sounds awesome. *is jealous*

I've done it twice, in two different places. The first time I was only like 9 and the second time was more recently -- I think it was my sophomore year in high school. I have pictures, but not underwater ones. Both times it was really structured -- you know, they did tricks and things. Some day, I want to just get on a boat and hop in the ocean and literally just swim WITH them instead of poking them.

I rode horses *all* the time when I was younger, but I've always wanted to do it on a beach. And in Central Park.

Does anyone remember Eureka's Castle? I used to be obsessed with that show, I remeber meeting Magellean the dragon at the mall and I was so happy. I had won a tee shirt with him on it and then I lost it in some store, it ruin my day....

I used to watch Barbar all the time, it was definately one of my favorite shows.

My brother worshiped the Power Rangers, I think he may have had ever single type of power ranger memorabilia possible.

I've been swimming with dolphins. It was fun, although they asked us if we wanted to feed them, which required putting a dead fish in your mouth and hanging it over the dolphin. I politely said no way.

I have rode a horse, um once and i hated it. I don't have much interaction with animals, which sometimes saddens me. I would love to swim with dolphins, they are my favorite animal!

And i didn't get to meet Jed Resnick at the meet and greet, it was three swings, but I heard he talks at the stage door a lot, so maybe I will get to meet my 2nd favorite Mark ever!

I missed the Barney, Bananas in Pajamas, and Barney convo...

Posted: 2/8/06 at 5:21pm

eek. Why can't you feed it with your hand?!

I spent two summers working with whales and dolphins, and the dead fish scared me.

I used to do a lot of really interactive stuff with animals, and I miss it. I need to get back on that, since I don't have pets.

The beach and Central Park would be amazing...

I feed it with my hand (the dolphin). I did get bitten on the hand by my cousin's horse. That was horrible...

My other water experience was snorkeling (That doesn't seem like it's spelled right...). It was amazing swimming with fish and taking pictures of the coral and the fish (and a big steel/brass wheel thing...). What was kind of scary though was that I swam right over a barracuda (it was at the bottom...a couple feet or meters down. I really didn't know). And I have a picture from right above it.

I love riding horses, and I’d love to do it on a beach.

Once I went swimming with sharks. That was not the best experience, considering I’m terrified of sharks, and my snorkel wasn’t working properly.

Posted: 2/8/06 at 5:23pm

I think I'll go in Central Park this spring, if I can find someone who wants to come with me.

I've been snorkeling a few times in "coral reefs" with pretty fish and stuff, but both times they were artificial environments. :-/

I DEFINITELY remember Eureka's Castle. haha.

Sorry really off topic but my computer was just making the weidest noise ever

I thought it was going to eat me

[luvtheEmcee]

*pets baby elephant*

Before my PC had its tragic, untimely death, he used to make noises as though he were an airplane, about to take off.

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 2/8/06 at 5:24pm

I went snorkeling on the same trip when I went swimming with the dolphins. I think I was around 9, and snorkeling just scared the crap out of me. But, that's not saying much - I was a pretty wimpy child.

When Lulu doesn't go into hibernation, she makes very airplane reminiscent noises.

I don't think I liked Eureka's Castle. Was there an annoying dracula man?

So was I.

I was scared of the amorphous martians. As you all well know. (While we're on childhood tv.)

Ok sorry to threadjack, but I just tracked the Amazon order with my book...and it is supposed to be here either tomorrow or Friday!!! I am so excited! (especially since B&N didn't have it, I was going to buy it while waiting, then give it to someone).

I cannot wait to read it, especially after reading about how beautiful everyone says it is!

I was a really wimpy child. I still am, actually. Heights are my biggest fear.

Greg's pissing me off. Note: Greg is the name of my computer.

Is there anything that's truly constituted as a threadjack around here anymore? I mean, elephants? Anthony? heh.

My new computer doesn't have a name. Roger is now out of commission.

First off, I remember when I was in Thailand (half of my family lives there) I rode an elephant when I was eight. It was really cool.

Second, Power Rangers? I used to like them. I remember when I was little, I wanted to be the first girl red ranger, ha ha. And also when I was six or seven , I thought that having girls never be anything but pink or yellow was sexist. I was very interesting when I was little.

Now, today I had kind of a bad day. In seventh period at the end of the day, I was reading Anthony's book and a girl whom I don't really like asked to look at my binder because it has pictures of the characters in RENT. She showed it to her friend, then turned around and asked me "Who are the fags?" Of course, I was a bit offended and didn't answer. But she asked again and put more emphasis on "fag" so I told her. When she gave my binder back, she said "That's disgusting" I asked "What?" And she said "Gay people. They're gross". She used Anthony as an example of how "gay people are gross" because a few days ago, she heard me talk about him with a friend of mine whose a fellow RENT fan. Then I started yelling at her for being insensitive. And she and her three other friends who thought the way she did were yelling at me back. One of my friends, Nathan supported me and it went on for about two minutes. Then the bell rang to go home. She always talks like that, and that's the reason why I don't like her.

I hope Greg starts being nicer to you! I never named my computer because I felt weird....

[RachLaura]

Posted: 2/8/06 at 5:31pm

He? Did your computer have a name? I named my old dial-up computer Fred, because I don't like the name Fred (sorry if anyone has that name) and the name was more than appropriate for my computer. I haven't named my new pretty computer, probably because if I did I wouldn't stop referring to it by it's name, and I wouldn't want to explain to people over and over again that I named my computer..so yea, my computer reamins nameless

Reading that over I realize how pointless that story was...it makes me laugh

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 2/8/06 at 5:31pm

I rode a camel once. But they're hardly as cool as elephants.

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 2/8/06 at 5:33pm

I rode a camel too. I feel like it was at Disneyworld or some place equally as random.
