100 Comments Party (Edit: now 500 comments party!)
Okay, here we go, kicking off the hundred-comments party. The aim is as follows:
Fill this post with 100 comments before the comic goes live around 12:01a CST Monday, January 14th.
There are three prizes:
1st place, 100th comment: A t-shirt of any style, with either the red or pink version of the Ten Speeds shirt design, from the CafePress store. You can pick out the style and color you want when the winner is determined; I’ll pay for it and have it shipped out to you.
2nd place, 101st comment: A mug from the CafePress store with either the red or pink version of the Ten Speeds design. Something a little less embarrassing than the shirt. Again, when the winner is determined, you pick out the style and color and I’ll pay for it and ship it out.
3rd place, 102nd comment: Little pin-on buttons with the designs on them. Do I need to explain about picking and me paying and shipping again?
I’ll post a link to the store after the contest is over, as I’m still fixing and re-uploading the designs. Here’s an overly-wordy version of the rules/things to try to avoid so we keep this to sane levels while still being fun:
- Try to post something that actually has meaning, even if it’s not particularly substantial or thought-provoking. I’ll even take “I like pie” over “ljosjkljslkdfjslfdslj =)” or “OMG EPIC LULZ”. No just posting smilies or spamming meaningless crap to raise the post count. I’d prefer for your post to at least have a subject, object, and verb, and either throw a new topic into the mix (doesn’t have to be anything serious) or else respond to a comment someone else made. Have dialogue. Talk to each other. Have fun. Don’t make me shiv anyone. (…I will make an exception if anyone wants to follow the grand tradition of internet ‘tardia and post “FIRST!”)
- Basically anything that comes from a person counts as a post; pingbacks from other blogs or sites don’t. I’ll allow the pingbacks to go through, but they’ll be subtracted from the overall post count - so if there are any there, it might be post number 104 or 109 or whatever that wins just because some of the posts won’t be counted in the overall tally.
- I don’t care about language, about possibly vulgar topics, etc., even if I may refrain from joining in in kind (because you can be damned sure I’m going to be right in the thick of this hoe-down). With that said, don’t post something disgusting just for the sake of being disgusting (no, Hikaru; just no - and you know what I’m talking about). Other than that, anything goes. Laugh, play, get in arguments, start flame wars (though if you do it on any other post, there will be much wrath). Just this once, you can take your adult hats off and have a free-for-all. Hell, you can chase each other with spoons if you want to. (…there’s an old in-joke that I doubt anyone else remembers…)
- Posting links does not count as a post unless you actually say something and it’s not just linkspam.
- Same with pictures.
- Do not reply to different people in multiple posts all at once just to increase the post count. If you have something to say to multiple people at a time, do it in one post rather than in several.
- If you have multiple topics to bring up, don’t post them in multiple comments all at once; keep them to one comment. Basically, just post one comment at a time and you’ll be fine. Give someone else a chance to respond before you dive right back in.
- Unfortunately Akismet is still screwed to hell and back, which is going to put a bit of a damper on this - but I’ll do my best to keep an eye on it when I’m conscious and catch anything that comes through as quickly as possible. If you see others’ new posts showing up and yours isn’t, that means you were spamming gibberish or multiple posts and I deleted it. Or…it just didn’t go through properly.
- Both Kaine and Hikaru are disqualified from winning, just to be fair - Kaine because he won the last contest, Hikaru because he won the first and because he’s a bastard. That doesn’t mean you can’t participate and join in whatever madness ensues, though. If either of you post the 100th or 101st comments, then the prizes will go to the next people to comment.
I know that looks like a lot, but it’s pretty simple. Basically just post as you normally would and you’ll be fine. Er…to get you started, let me give you a topic: a peanut is neither a pea nor a nut. Talk amongst yourselves.
…
Okay, I’m kidding. No getting veklempt here, or however you spell it. Topic…topic…hmm. How do you feel about the gay community’s apparent need to have separate events/hangouts/possessions labeled as specifically gay (such as gay cruises, gay cafes, gay etc…)? Do you think it provides a welcome retreat for those of like minds to seek each other out and share things in safety, or do you think it’s unnecessary elitism and isolationism - or does it just not matter? (I give that one ten comments max before the whole thing derails and goes swerving into madness.)
Knock yourselves out. Let’s see if we can get this biatch to 100 before Monday.
Update, 6:49p CST: 100 Comments Winners, 500 Comments Prize
Holy crap, people. Less than 24 hours and you’re already over 100 comments? I thought it would take all bloody weekend! Guys, we broke the effin’ post template! Well, in Firefox anyway; I’m not opening IE to check, but in Firefox the three-digit comment numbers are overlapping the border area. Anyway…the winners are:
1st place: Sam, for the 100th comment. Once the store is live (give me a couple more hours, still tweaking things) you’ll be able to pick one shirt of your choice from the Apparel section.
2nd place: Lessa, for the 101st comment. There are three styles of mug in four different designs (well, one design, variations on color and with or without text); you’ll be able to pick one mug in the style and design of your choice.
3rd place: JM, for the 102nd comment. You’ll get two 3.5″ buttons, in your choice of four designs. (Edit: Actually, you can choose between 3.5″, 2.25″, mini-buttons, and rectangular magnets - one each of two different ones, or two each of one; still updating all the store stuff and it’s up to you which you want.)
3rd place runner-up: Indikaze, for the…um…110th comment, but the first one since 100 that isn’t Sam, Lessa, JM, or me. I wasn’t going to do a runner-up, but figured it wouldn’t be fair for two out of three prizes to go to 451 Press writers - but neither would it be fair to deny those writers when they contributed to the overall insanity of the contest. So Indikaze, you’ll also get two buttons/magnets in your choice of four designs.
Now, just for the hell of it…
There is one mega prize pack available if we hit 500 comments before Monday.
That’s one hell of a challenge, but what the hell, we just might make it. I thought the 100 would be a flop, and you guys proved me wrong.
There’s only one winner (because this is getting kinda expensive, and coming out of my pocket) - but no one’s barred from winning, since this is kind of an unpredicted bonus round. Hikaru, Kaine, Sam, Lessa, JM, Indikaze - you can all win, but you’ll still be competing with everyone else who comes to the site. The prize pack will include:
- One white T-shirt with either the red/blue or blue/pink Ten Speeds deisgn on it;
- One teddy bear with one of the four design variations on its shirt;
- Your choice of either a mouse pad or a wall clock with one of the design variations on it.
Think we can make it?

Whoo first
Have fun with the contest guys 
January 11th, 2008 at 1:06 am
Regarding “gay events” I don’t think there’s a problem unless said events try and be exclusionary.
Segregation happens in society naturally, whether it is to gay nightclubs, library clubs, or any place associated with a particular activity. It’s not bad (in fact, it contributes to diversity) unless you lose your ability to deal with the rest of the world.
January 11th, 2008 at 1:10 am
Oi! You promised the other day that if I won I’d get the t-shirt AND a kiss. If I’m 100th, do I at least still get the kiss? And I’m a bastard? I should record you and play it back so you can hear yourself…
I really don’t think that it’s elitism or anything bad, just a way to let people know “gays are here.” I mean, there are singles cruises and elderly cruises and booze cruises, just to let people know “you’re welcome here”. Maybe sometimes an organizer means it as “gay only”, but I know my straight friends are welcome in (and enjoy going to) gay bars all the time.
As far as disgusting for the sake of disgusting, you know that my “cup” runneth over…
January 11th, 2008 at 1:15 am
Emily: o.o Hello, new person. Will you be sticking around for the contest?
Indikaze: There are some events that try to be exclusionary, but I was mostly referring to the generic ones. Oh, who am I kidding, I was fishing for a pretend-serious topic.
Hikaru: You’ll just have to earn that kiss a different way, won’t you? Now behave yourself, or I’m blocking your number.
On a more serious note, though, that “gays are here” thing is a good point - a variation on “we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it” thing, only rather than shouting that we’re just doing our own thing in view of the public eye. Of course, there are some things involving cups that should never be done in view of the public….
January 11th, 2008 at 1:21 am
Most likely I’ll stay quiet on my side and just laugh hysterically at what happens if that’s alright with you.
January 11th, 2008 at 1:22 am
Although reading you’re comment a second time, I’m very curious about this cup issue. o.o
January 11th, 2008 at 1:32 am
I’m open to suggestions; any ideas on what I need to do to earn my keep? Also, blocking my number doesn’t help…when we’re already on the phone.
Well, I do get one right, once in a while. Taking my fair share of booze cruises, though, didn’t hurt.
And, Emily: he gets pissy about the double-post thing (it’s one of the rules of the 100-post contest). Also…don’t ask about the cup. It’s horrifying and terrible and…*shudders*, I know not to randomly click links on websites.
January 11th, 2008 at 1:37 am
…Well, it’s certainly not helping my state of mind not knowing, as instead it’s going through every single possibility. A bad image is only a bad image, whereas a bad ambiguous image brings to mind all the bad images of your lifetime. Or something.
January 11th, 2008 at 1:41 am
Indikaze: No, trust me, anything you can imagine is nothing close to the horror. Neither you nor Emily want to know.
Hikaru: ~growls~ Pissy? Don’t make me hang up on you. Arse. Yeah, you’re fishing real hard for that kiss, huh? ~sniffs~ Clean my apartment, then I’ll think about it.
January 11th, 2008 at 1:47 am
Adri: Well, it is your turn to hang up first tonight, anyway…and yours is probably cleaner than mine, anyway. Besides, those pictures were all right after the cleaning lady left.
Indikaze: This…even the worst possible thing you can imagine cannot even begin to describe how utterly terrible this video is. I…I threw up a little in my mouth.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:00 am
Dude - someone is cleaning apartments? How about a house - filled with three kids and one sexy mama? Or well, me. But there’s plenty of cleaning! And i give up kisses willingly!
Of course, there may be other issues there, and I do live in the most closeted town in the frozen north, and the whole i’m female thing. But you know - technicalities! I wanna maid!!! Sigh.
Oh - and the gay only thing. Being Bi, I often feel like I don’t belong at those events sometimes (not that we have them HERE, but I’ve been to them in OTHER places…) but all in all, I think its a little bit of both - we’re here, we’re queer, and we need a safe place for a little while.
Of course, my husband used to pitch a fit about ‘women only” clubs, because when its ‘men only’ the women demand entrance, yet they want to have a place where it’s only themselves too - so it’s a bit of a double standard no matter what the restricted parties are…
January 11th, 2008 at 2:02 am
Oh, and the cup thing. *shudders* Nasty. Don’t ask. Random links are BAD. BAD, I say!
Whoops, double posted! Of course, if folks are needing to spread some more comment love, I guest posted over at Lez Keep It Real for Lyndsey today. Feel free to love on me there too. (grin)
January 11th, 2008 at 2:03 am
~raises a brow~ Look, Hikaru, she’s bartering for kisses now. By the way, Lessa, he actually leans a little towards bi…
~wonders if he should be jealous…naaaah~ Oh, by the way, Lessa? If you bribe him with chocolate, he’ll dress up like a cabana boy and clean for you.
On the subject of bisexuality at those events…Lyndsey actually has a great post over at Lez Keep It Real about the elitism towards bisexuals and how nasty we tend to be to you guys. I’m…er…too lazy to look it up.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:07 am
DOES he? *arches brow* Well then, I should probably mention the whole back of chocolate kisses I have sitting on my desk then…. I always wanted a cabana boy!
And yeah, I vaguely remember that post, but that was back when I was still being shy and reclusive so I never commented there on it. Adri, you’re a bad influence. (grin)
January 11th, 2008 at 2:07 am
I think gay cruises, gay cafes, etc. fall under the great American tradition of niche marketing..like sporty cars or Thai restaurants.
We’ll have made real progress when there’s a chain of Gay Mexican restaurants in the food court of the local shopping mall.
Hmmm…now if we could only come up with a name for our franchise….
T.G.I.G.L.B.T.’s is a little cumbersome…
January 11th, 2008 at 2:12 am
Lessa: Well, he may be a raging ass, but Adri’s the only one who can make me wear my cabana boy costume. I think there may be a French maid costume somewhere in the closet, though…*rummages*
Mark: I’m going to pass on the obvious joke about gay men and eating mexican food on a date…doesn’t lead to a happy evening.
Adri: *bites him* Meanie. Now I’m not going to speak to you. Hmph.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:14 am
…Thanks a lot, you two. Now instead if thinking of viable possibilities, my brain is just coming up with random combinations that could potentially qualify as “worse than you can possibly imagine.” If I break myself again tonight, I’m blaming you.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:14 am
Ow! Bastard, I told you no biting me! And yes, yes you are going to speak to me. You’re speaking to me right now. And giggling like a little schoolgirl. Are you going to wear that costume for Lessa, too? As I can promise, I’m not helping you shave your legs for either that or the French maid outfit.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:15 am
Ooooooooooh. I’d settle for the French Maid’s outfit if necessary. I’m easy…
…just never, EVER, cheap.
(and he BITES too? *SWOON*)
Food Courts? Malls? Gosh. Nearest one of those is a 3 hour drive away through a windy mountain pass. AK never gets the cool stuff. Harumph.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:17 am
Indikaze: Don’t worry! If you break, I have duct tape…
…what? I’m Alaskan! Duct tape fixes everything!
January 11th, 2008 at 2:23 am
Lessa: I bite, and scratch, and…other things *smiles*.
Adri: *pout* I am not giggling, I’m responding with a deep, manly laugh. And you promised to help me shave my legs! Besides…*nibbles Adri’s ear*…I do have my uses.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:28 am
Lessa: …yeah, and before he does any of those other things, you’d better make sure he’s had his shots.
Hikaru: ~shoves him~ Gah! I told you no biting! Nibbling counts as biting! Now no pouting, either. You know what that gets you. ~mutters~ Giggly wretch.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:32 am
WHOO! OTHER things too. Raaaaaaawr!
(wonders how long until Adri just shakes his head and wonders who invited the Lessa. *L*)
Ps - Biting has always gotten me good things, how ’bout you Hikaru… (Grin)
January 11th, 2008 at 2:40 am
Lessa: Careful, Adri’s getting jealous. *eyes him* I dunno, he’s getting all…passive-agressive and asking if he should leave us alone. And nibbling his ear always seems to get me exactly what I want…
Adri: *pouts* Ow. And, yes: I know exactly what pouting gets me. Why do you think I do it? And, Sugar Plum…you know you love it.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:43 am
~raises a brow~ Actually, I think you heard me incorrectly; you should really check your phone. What I actually suggested was shoving you at her and letting her have her way with you. If you want to interpret wholehearted endorsement as jealousy…
Then again, you do seem to interpret things rather loosely, quite often. Last I checked, nibbling my ears just got you slapped and/or shoved. And if you ever call me Sugar Plum again, you and The Worrier will suddenly be bidding each other abrupt and not-so-fond farewells.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:47 am
Boys, boys, boys. There is plenty of Lessa to go around! (and then some) No jealousy needed!
…what, that’s not what you meant? (innocent look)
Though, I must ask… The Warrior? (unabashedly curious)
January 11th, 2008 at 2:50 am
Oi! Pidgin does have a chat log, you know. I can post some of it…show what nibbling really does to you…on the ear, on the neck, etc…
And if I never suspected this would be how I got you to say “Oh God” over and over again for the first time…and I didn’t even need the Worrier’s help!
And Lessa, that…that’s personal. (And actually, it’s the Worrier. He spelled it wrong before I pointed out the mistake and he fixed it).
January 11th, 2008 at 2:52 am
Hey, you mention it in public, it’s open for question! But personal just lets my imagination run away with it, so that’s all good too. (wiggles brows)
January 11th, 2008 at 2:54 am
I–you–dammit–goddammit stop repeating everything we say on the phone over here! And I did not–you did not–don’t get me started on you and your weaknesses. ~growls~
~mutters~ Silliness aside…I’m heading to bed. Due to the Akismet problem, you guys might see more of a delay in your posts showing up. Don’t let that stop you from having fun; it’ll just be…um…slightly delayed fun? I’m a restless sleeper anyway and will probably wake up to catch them at least once an hour.
…especially since Hikaru kicks.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:58 am
*cracks up* Sweet dreams, Adri!
January 11th, 2008 at 2:58 am
Nya? *feels tiny in front of all of hte adults*
Lynn scawed ;-;
*hides behind Adri’s legs*
I gravitate towards those with strength…and he’s awshum :3 *is still hiding*
January 11th, 2008 at 3:07 am
(L) No need to be scared of me, Lynn. I don’t bite, and on MY side of the eyes, I’m not a day over 15. (grin)
January 11th, 2008 at 3:12 am
I do not kick, you dork. *grumbles about asses who toss and turn all night*
And, um, I paraphrased a cheesy romance novel when…referring to parts of my anatomy with Adri…something about feeling “the warrior in me coming to you” and me being an incessant, nail-biting worrier. It’s also why I tell him he tastes like my next Tuesdays.
And shoo, Lynn. I need to herd him to bed or he gets bitchy. Real bitchy. *flees*
January 11th, 2008 at 3:15 am
*snuggles Lessa’s leg* yay!! :3
but that would make me older than you lol
I’m turning 17 this coming 23rd
i should SOOO go to bed…but i gotta get up early so I have time to find someone to help do my homework that is due tomorrow and also I gotta find time to memorize my lines >.
January 11th, 2008 at 3:22 am
*L* Well if it makes you feel better Lynn, I’m old enough to be your mum. My son, my oldest, will be 16 in March. *chuckles*
Lines? Do tell!
January 11th, 2008 at 3:24 am
And Hikaru… (cracking UP) well. That’s ALMOST as good as what my imagination cooked up. (leer)
I know, double posted! I missed his the first time. I’ll do better, honest.
January 11th, 2008 at 3:26 am
Oh, and Lessa, Adri sent this to me so I can post it. Here is that romance novel he told me about:
“Shh…” He traced his sizzling tongue around her earlobe. “Stop talking and listen, Adeeann. Listen to this surging, flowing thing between us.” His actions mirrored his breathless words as his shaft glided against and into her.
“Listen to it pounding in our blood, our hearts.” Strong fingers entwined tightly with her own. She could feel the pulse of his blood rushing against her hands.
“Listen to the power in me awaken for you.” Without warning, he sent her a surge of incredible power inside where they joined.
“Oh, God…Lorgin…”
His breath grew ragged as he stroked into her again and again, still pinning her to the bed. Deana moaned with each thrust, catching his wildness, his sheer eroticism. His quickening.
“Can you hear it? Can you hear this savage warrior in me, coming to you?”
“Yes!” she gasped.
He released her hands, clutching her tight around the waist, bringing her even closer to him as he burie dhis head between her shoulderblades.
“Can you feel this powerful magic in my heart entwine around you?” he whispered against her.
She clutched the sheet beneath her, whimpering. “Yes, yes, yes…”
“Now you taste of my passion, Adeeann.“
January 11th, 2008 at 3:39 am
LMAO
That was funny!
That sounded ridiculous I’m sorry 
and yay!! second mum!
You are now my mum/nee-chan/…lady online!
*points at Hikaru* and you are now the neighbor who won’t stop trying to get invited to our parties
we’re a sitcom! w00t! :3
January 11th, 2008 at 3:41 am
So long as I’m not Kramer, we’re good. But…why can’t I come to the party? Is it a gay party? I promise, I’ll stop liking girls if I can come to the gay party!
January 11th, 2008 at 3:42 am
*blink*
*Covers Lynn’s eyes*
*rereads*
*chuckles*
Gotta love romance novels. They’re a widowed gal’s best friend. Well, that and things with 10 speeds and a pulse option.
Look at that, a TOTALLY LEGIT way to work in the Prizes without begging for one. HOW AWESOME AM I?
(don’t answer that - unless it includes words of affirmation. I’m a delicate and fragile flower, don’tcha know..)(man, I couldn’t even type that with a straight face. haha!)
January 11th, 2008 at 3:44 am
WAIT! You can’t stop liking girls until my kitchen is clean! DAMMIT! I’ll letcha come to the party, no matter what the orientation, PROMISE! Just.. wear those heels I like…
And yay! Another adopted kiddo! I have a collection of them around here. The kids tell everyone I’m the “Cool mom” because I act like them. And in a good way, not an embarrassing way. Too often. Or something. (grin)
January 11th, 2008 at 3:48 am
*does a dance and parades around my collection of romance novels* nyaaa! I
January 11th, 2008 at 3:52 am
You know, lil missy, as your newly adopted internet Mum type person, I can confiscate those… (grins)
January 11th, 2008 at 3:55 am
evil text thingy cut off my whole message!! ;-;
*sniffles* i invited Hikaru to all da partay’s
as long as i get to watch him and my homo friend make out and let me take pictures >D
and and and…I
January 11th, 2008 at 4:00 am
He’s going to take it out on me if you keep up with the double posts, Lessa. Not that it would necessarily be a bad thing, but I have a feeling it’ll be pretty painful…
And I’m not changing just yet…I have to make out with Lynn’s friend first, but then I’ll be up to clean the kitchen!
January 11th, 2008 at 4:05 am
*hangs head* I know. I’m a bad girl. If he has some nice lady friends into older ladies on the.. er. extra-curvy. side - they can take it out on me instead, so you needn’t suffer… and all. (grin)
and I’m not doing it to pad post numbers, I’m just a dork. *L*
WHOO! I do love a boy who’ll clean my kitchen! I promise to cook for you even! Then, then you can clean it AGAIN!
January 11th, 2008 at 4:07 am
neeee….I has to go ;-;
and I can’t comment from the computers at school T.T so I’ll be losing a lot of hours thanks to school D:
I’ll be back by 4:30 central time!!
*snugglepoofs everyone* see yous all! :3
and I’ll talke more about the lines thing later
Basically I’ve got a play in about two weeks that I REALLY need to be prepared for, it’s gonna be a REALLY big deal o.o
*snugglepoofs again and smiles* see yash :3
January 11th, 2008 at 4:09 am
Lessa: It’ll have to wait, though; he’s calling me to bed. Such a demading little…and I’m going to stop before the Worrier is in danger again.
January 11th, 2008 at 4:09 am
I hate you.
January 11th, 2008 at 4:14 am
Congrats on the play! I was a drama club groupie in highschool back in the day, too. I know, shock huh? since I’m so shy and all. (actually, I am shy in person, but whatever. *L*)
And I’m heading off to bed too. Not WITH you boys, of course. In case anyone doubted it, and all. (Ha!)
And we love you anyway, Adri.
Night ya’ll! Be good - aw hell. Look who I’m talking too. Just be good AT it. (wiggles brows) and don’t get caught. Heh.
January 11th, 2008 at 4:16 am
also Lessa, I like older girls(women) though I know it’s never actually legal
January 11th, 2008 at 4:19 am
stupid cut off…that sounded less like a come on that it does right there >.
January 11th, 2008 at 4:22 am
G’day! Y’all know I simply can’t resist a party.
I just have to say that through all the abuse and crap in my life, gay guys have always been a huge support and comfort in my life. All those silly people who discriminate against people they don’t even know can just bugger off.
Hrmph.
Now where’s my cocktail, darling?
January 11th, 2008 at 4:29 am
Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve been awake for nearly twenty-three hours, but this has been an absolutely hilarious read.
January 11th, 2008 at 6:33 am
Goodness, I seem to have missed quite the party!
*Sigh* I suppose that’s what I get for going out and being sociable then sleeping late this morning…. Missed my chance to sink my teeth into people and everything! I don’t bite nearly often enough.
As for the gay-only niches… Sometimes it provides the GLT crowd with somewhere they feel safe in a city that may not otherwise have any very tolerant venues. And sometimes it’s just being rampantly elitist twats. As one of the B in GBLT, I don’t tend to find the nights very interesting, and feel as if I’m getting some odd looks for speaking to both sexes with equal interest. (Of course, some of the dirty looks could just be because I don’t get up and dance when some absolute *flamer* decides that everyone in his vicinity should get up and dance to this awful piece of Euro-techno-trash)
January 11th, 2008 at 7:43 am
Adri, you stole my “I like pie.” It was rude. I think the most interesting thing so far is all the flirting. =)
January 11th, 2008 at 7:52 am
Well, at least now I have something to keep me from stabbing all the idiot guests and coworkers I have to deal with on this morning shift.
I hate morning shift. HATE.
January 11th, 2008 at 8:23 am
I can’t believe I just read all of this… And that in a little over 12 hours you’ve gotten more than half the posts required already =P
There are some preeeeetty crazy people on this blog, but I love you all =P
January 11th, 2008 at 8:33 am
MORNING!!!! 3 and a half hours sleep!!! I do NOT want to attend school this morn!! Someone SAVE ME PLEASEEEE!!!! D:
*sniffles* ;-; just so i can sleep a few more hours…? T.T
*calls someone so JM can get their cocktail*

Romance novel = Fabio porn
January 11th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Wow, where was that “call me” tee when I was single? My best friends and I used to joke about it all of the time.
January 11th, 2008 at 10:39 am
JM, Darling! *passes a delicious concoction of a cocktail, your way* Welcome to the madhouse!
And Simon, glad we could entertain a fellow insomniac. *tips hat*
January 11th, 2008 at 10:52 am
I would have to agree with Simon. Sleep deprivation is definitely awesome when reading such comments full of insight, cups and random *dies*
In response to ‘ze question o doom
(aka the entry) I think it’s shouldn’t matter.
“Straight” events should allow gays and otherwise. The labelling of events serves as as sort of unnecessary warning to “straight” people, kind of like a “GAY EVENT. SAME SEX. ENTER IF YOU DARE” kind of thing. Those who enter prove that they are capable of tolerance and are willing to learn about new things. I think just because something is labelled as “straight” or “gay” shouldn’t deter people from attending or participating.
On the flip side, those who are intolerant and attend such events and other just to bash and act foolishly are in serious need of a punch…
…and a good ass kicking ^^

P.S. It’s spelled “verklempt”.

55. Darn I was hoping to be 100. Oh well 55. is good.
January 11th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Del: You’ve not missed TOO much - and you’re simply Fashionably late. And all biters are invited to sit next to me. (wiggles brows)
And Lynn: Go to school, there’s a good girl.
And me: Naptime! (thud)
January 11th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
~yawns and rubs his eyes~ So much for me waking up every hour to approve things; I died. And apparently missed a lot of comments. Bleh. I blame Hikaru for keeping me up hours after I said I was going to bed. Sorry it took me so long to fish everyone out of the filter.
Amanda: You’re damn right I stole your pie. And it was yummy.
Mark: Romance novel = the funniest “literature” ever. I keep a stash of them just because they give me the giggles.
Sihaya: It actually only took four hours.
Anji: I can’t say what I want to say to you without getting smacked upside the head for being a racist bastard, even if I’m not. So I’ll go flick you over on LJ instead.
Shelly: You’re actually #65, as I hadn’t been conscious to approve the comments before yours. That’s at least closer to 100?
January 11th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Does it have anything to do with my ancestry, I’m guessing? XD
January 11th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
That and the fact that you probably glow under blacklight. ~runs~
January 11th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Wow, I just came in here to see what was going on. I’m a little frightened.
I was going to respond to whatever question you posed back in your post, but honestly, I don’t remember what the heck it was.
January 11th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Haha. 69, dude!
-runs after you- You might have a foot on me in height, but I have a kitchen’s worth of stabby-making knives on you!
January 11th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
My gosh, how did i miss so much? *blames confusing time differences*. Somehow I think they be more than 100 comments here by Monday.
Romance novels scare me. And I really like pie
January 11th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
well, just because you asked so nicely - here is a comment.
not sure what is going on but - “~wonders if he should be jealous…naaaah~ Oh, by the way, Lessa? If you bribe him with chocolate, he’ll dress up like a cabana boy and clean for you.”
Don’t give LESSA the cabana boy - give ‘im to her mama (moi!) I have been promised a cabana boy in the past and it has never happened - soooooooo - c’mere lover boy!
yes, I am out of the loop. No, I have no clue, but here you go - a comment! Whooot!
January 11th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
My one comment after waiting and before heading off to work (I don’t wanna go!).
I don’t read romance novels. That was hilarious. His “quickening?” It sounds like Highlander slash. oy.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Yes. I’m number 75. If only I showed up 25 comments later. Anyways, here is the comment I’m posting just to reach that 100 mark that you are so eager to get.
If you got some time, visit watchingfamilyguy.com, I’d appreciate it.
January 11th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Hate romance novels. Love pie. A pie in a romance novel might interest me enough to read it. Preferably chococlate cream, a round bed, lots of candles, and… well, you get the picture.
January 11th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Oi! It was your turn to hang up, bastard. Not my fault you so easily fell for my manipulation techniques to keep you awake.
Yay! 77!
January 11th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
…says the twit who can’t hang up the phone if I say “Awww” and sound pouty enough. Who’s manipulating whom, here?
78, now. And…how much of that is our fault?
(…blame it on Lessa. That’ll make it easy.)
By the way, I think you missed it up there…Barbara apparently wants to up the ante and steal you from Lessa. You’re popular, blondie.
January 11th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
I’ll give you guys a good rate on a hotel room if you’ll take the mushy crap there instead.
January 11th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Hey, wait! Why’s everyone blaming things one ME? Who’s calling me easy? er….never mind. (grin)
And oh no - mah MAMA can’t have ya! Might let her borrow ya for a little, though…
I’m gonna hug ya and squeeze ya and call ya George…
January 11th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Good morning!
…Crap, it’s 4:00 pm. Screw you.
January 11th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Hey I was 55 when I posted that I must have gotten spammed and then thrown a life raft to get out. I am now 79, I think?
January 11th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
I thought about asking Barbara and Lessa to hand over the cabana boy when they were done, but that would make it sloppy thirds. That’s what I get coming late into the party.
January 11th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
Sandra - That’s true, but you know, you could come to my house while we have said Cabana boy - and the three of us can have him serve us something fruity and delicious (and alcoholic for me, ya’ll can pick your own poison. *L*) while we watch him clean my kitchen… We’ll make a regular party out of it!
January 11th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Oi! When did I become the village bicycle? *is somewhat flattered*
See, Adri? Keep treating me like this and I’ll walk. Got ‘em lined up round the block with my sexy body…*dies*
Can’t believe I typed that with a straight face. Don’t worry, Adri, I still love you best.
January 11th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
~flat look~ I’ll pack your things, Mr. Schwinn. I’m sure Lessa won’t mind having a live-in cabana boy.
Anji: …mush? This is mushy? ~just dies~
January 11th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
B-but…but…if I’m a bike, I have at least 10 speeds. Plus, you don’t need batteries!
*pout* Meanie.
January 11th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Who’s being Mushy? Where? (grin)
How do you like the cold, Mr. Schwinn? It’s still snowing here…
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2344/2183887553_43956bbcc5_o.jpg
And the car refuses to start - so we might have to walk if we ever leave the house… so bundle up!
And don’t worry, Adri - I love you best too. But you aren’t the one offering to clean my kitchen. A girl has to have priorities!
January 11th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Lessa, I’m on my way. A cabana boy in a maid suit cleaning the kitchen?! A once in a life time opportunity. Perhaps a little less tiring on Hakuru’s sexy body also.
January 11th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Snow? What’s that? Is that the mythical Stuff of Cold that appears in Christmas Dramas?
(disclaimer: I live in Pennsylvania. *cry*)
January 11th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Whatever you girls make him do, make sure to take videotape and hand it over. I guess I’ll be the next queer to blackmail a Republican to make my fortune.
Oh, look, only nine comments to go.
January 11th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
No worries there! I’ve a video camera! And choice clips will be hitting YouTube, of course. To wet the appetite (grin).
8…..7…..6….
January 11th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
*screeches to a halt* nya!!!! home!! Stupid bus was late!! I would have been here thirty minutes ago but i the bus was late for some reason picking us up from school!! D:
My friends and I played Smack The Ass Game today :3 like we do every day x3
January 11th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Heya, Lynn! Welcome home. How’re those lines comin? (I know, I can be SUCH a mom. *L*)
January 11th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
Lynn: There’s a Smack the Ass game???
January 11th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
*giggles* I memorized them! And tomorrow I’ve gotta go to the old Central middle school, find the auditorium and learn a dance finale with all the other actors and actresses from different schools in the district :O
we’re coming along GREAT tho
I’ll be sure to take pics :3
If you’d like, of course ^^
January 11th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Lessa, honey, you are too good to me. I love cocktails. Mmmm.
And good morning from those of us down under.
January 11th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Uh oh, I dunno about this anymore. What happens if one day I want to run for Senate or, God forbid, the presidency? Beyond the fact that we’d all be screwed, I don’t know if my campaign could survive leaked tapes of me cleaning Lessa’s kitchen in a speedo or a maid’s outfit. And damn, Adri…this 100 comments thing went way too fast. Maybe 500 would have been better?
January 11th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Good for you, Lynn! And yes, pictures, of course! Always glad to support a fellow drama geek!
Morning JM!
And Hikaru, you turning chicken on us? I might CRY!
Don’t give Adri any ideas - I’m feeling LUCKY! *crosses fingers, hits submit*
January 11th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Um, can anyine tell me where the ask Adri button is, please?
January 11th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
SO CLOSE! (Come on 101!)
Adri Rocks!
January 11th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Adri is a button? He has a button?
I should visit here more often.
January 11th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Good morning Lessa!
Kujo - How about a speedo AND a maid’s outfit?
January 11th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
I don’t know. I was hoping so. I’m computer retarded >
January 11th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Sam: under the “about” section, there’s a contact button that will take you to an email form. You can use that to ‘Ask Adri’ (smile)
And Adri has lots of buttons - just gotta be careful to hit the right ones, JM! (grin)
January 11th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Thank you.
January 11th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
…I wonder if Sam even noticed that she just won with the 100th comment.
~laughs~ And Lessa got the mug without having to trade anything in! Though is it fair that both the 2nd and 3rd place winners are 451 Press writers? ~may give out a 4th-place prize, too~
Hell, if you guys keep going to 500 over the weekend, I may just have to send a whole prize pack to someone. Teddy bears and all. (Yes, there’s a teddy bear in the shop. I’m working on everything right now; it’s time-consuming.)
January 11th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
A TEDDYBEAR? There’s a TEDDYBEAR now thrown in? Oh hell yeah! 500 or bust!
Congrats to Sam for winning the 100th comment!
AND I GOT THE MUG! *dances!* (I know, it’s so easy to make me happy. Grin.)
January 11th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Teddy bear?! Oooooo. *jumps up and down*
January 11th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
*sigh* Serves me right for going out for a shower, I guess. Also for letting myself be devoured alive by TVtropes.
To 500!
January 11th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Course, getting to 500, I may never get any work done. Not that I’m gonna let that stop me. I’ve a feeling Adri will be good and sick of me by the end of this. (L) He will regret telling me to come out of lurkdom yet.
January 11th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
I suppose I can’t win a teddy bear, now that I’ve won buttons…
*kicks at dirt*
Mind you, I love buttons.
I also love teddy bears.
January 11th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Work? Since when do we need to get work done? I think you need another cocktail, Lessa.
January 11th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
See, I’ve been busy working and this has all been going on with out me.
There are teddy bears now?
January 11th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
~snrks~ There are teddy bears. Refresh the post and check out the update. The contest is apparently continuing, but the goal just shot really damned high. One winner only will get a teddy bear, a white t-shirt with one of the designs, and their choice of a wall clock or a mouse pad in the color combo of their choice.
January 11th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Wow, you guys sure don’t waste any time, do you?
I would’ve been here earlier, but I haven’t slept properly in four days, and I pretty much died after school. Oh well. I’m here now - and there are TEDDY BEARS!
(Cuz I totally need yet another reason for my friends to call me a flaming queen. -.o; )
January 11th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
YAY! TEDDYBEARS!
And yes, JM, i most Certainly need another cocktail. one can’t expect my kind of Reality Trash TV Type brilliance without alcohol.
Kaine - Sleep? what is this thing you speak of?!
January 11th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Lessa - I’m brilliant only with vast amounts of Kahlua.
Teddybears!
I reckon we can do this. Y’all have comment time while I’m sleeping and I have comment time while y’all are sleeping.
500? Pfft. I laugh in the face of 500.
January 11th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Alcohol makes everything happier! Except breakups.
See also: VodkaIsLove (I don’t think this exists yet though)
January 11th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Lessa: Well, see, it’s something I like to do every so often, especially before school, but it seems the universe is conspiring against me…
Which sucks, because I’ve had all kinds of tests and quizzes to deal with (end of the semester and all), plus a Shakespeare Competition to get ready for. *twitch*
January 11th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
oooooooh a Shakespeare Competition… sounds delightful… So tell me, Keith - does a rose by any other name smell as sweet?
And is this a dagger I see before me?
(and that brings us almost to the end of my Shakespeare knowledge. hahaha.)
Vodka IS love, except when mixed with Tequilia. Then, not so much. *shudders*
January 11th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
…Delightful. Yes. That was the word I was looking for.
Honestly, I do love Shakespeare, and the monologue I recited at the school level was…interesting (Aaron from Titus Andronicus has always been my favourite of Shakespeare’s characters), but I have no acting experience, and the very idea of performing in front of people is terrifying to me. I have no idea how I won - especially considering the kids I was up against.
Maybe it’s the fact that mine was the only monologue to have to do with rape. Maybe I’m just a convincing big evil moor - ya know, for a small white dude. *shrug*
(And now I have to go and perform more stuff in front of larger crowds - twice! *dies*)
January 11th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Phew. ~falls over~ Finally got all the crap in the store done:
http://www.cafepress.com/darksiderainbow
Sam, you’ll be picking your prize from here:
http://www.cafepress.com/darksiderainbow/4548971
Anything in there - pick one, and it’s yours.
Lessa, yours is in here somewhere:
http://www.cafepress.com/darksiderainbow/4548983
The mugs are all the way down at the bottom. Pick the one you want.
JM and Indikaze, your stuff is in the same place ( http://www.cafepress.com/darksiderainbow/4548983 ), just at the very top in the buttons and magnets. Either pick two of one or one of two. You can swap out a sticker if you want to, but figured you wouldn’t since those aren’t movable/reusable.
All of you can just give me links to what you want; you can post them here to push the post count (what? It’s legit) or you can e-mail them to me at adrien-luc.sanders@451press.net. Once I have everyone’s options, I’ll e-mail you privately to find out where you want me to have CafePress ship everything and will put in the orders some time this weekend. Ignore the price tags on everything, of course, as I’m paying for it. The price stuff is just for regular shoppers.
You guys can also see the stuff that makes up the 500-comment prize package, sprinkled around in there. And a bunch of other weird crap. (…is it bad that I really want the throw pillow with the giant red and blue version?)
January 11th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
YAY!
http://www.cafepress.com/darksiderainbow.212816406
That’s the one I want! YAY!
and of course it’s not bad that you want a throw pillow - in fact, it’d be FABULOUS. I can see it making an appearance in the backgrounds of NoStyle even. Hahahha!
January 11th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Thank god, a few hours and they’ve forgotten me. *wipes brow* I really didn’t want to have to put in the gym time to look good in my speedo.
January 11th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Kaine: I have HORRIBLE stage fright, so I feel ya, big time. I still don’t know how I managed to act in plays in high school - now I’ll do anything to avoid being in front of a group of people. I tend to faint. There’s REASONS I hide behind the safety of a screen, for heavens sake! I’m sure you’ll do fabulously!
Adri - check your ‘contact me’ mail. (grin) special lil somethin’ somethin’ in there for you.
No, I’m not bribing him!(Not yet, anyway!) (starts plying JM with Kalaua)
And am I the only one freaked out by the ads for the videochats down there? What are those girls, 12? GOSH. And they keep LOOKING at me…
January 11th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Hikaru: ~pouts~ Does that mean I won’t get to see your six-pack on our coffee date?
Lessa: I blame you for the fact that my t-shirt now smells faintly of Smirnoff Ice, after reading that e-mail.
The girls are unnerving me a bit, too. At least they’re eye-candy for the lesbian and bisexual readers? I’d say they’re inappropriate, but…um… ~scrolls up to the main post and flushes~ …nevermind.
January 11th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Dude. That bright green shirt? That’s. Perfect.
I’ma have to get me one of those. (That is to say, I’ma have to get my brother to get me one of those. :3)
I think that might be my new favourite colour. ^-^
January 11th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
“My friends and I played Smack The Ass Game today :3 like we do every day x3″
oh, my! Blushing Lessa’s Mama. Hey! Where’s my cabana boy? I could use a good cuddle about now (laughing at LESSA blushing about now - hahahaha)
January 11th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Oh -and teddy bear?????
bats mama-eyelashes at Adri
I’ve got a collection of stuffed moose - I’ll trade you one for a teddy (bear, of course - I meant to say teddy BEAR!)
heh - just trying extra hard to make that Lessa blush some more - not that **I** could make her blush - most likely she would make ME blush (and does so quite well)
January 11th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Yes, they are eye candy indeed. Cept, you know, they’re like TWELVE or something. (I’m so OLD. (sigh) when’d I get so OLD?) I’ll just have to believe their legal. And yeah, inappropriate? Naaaaaaaaaah. Just.. disconcerting. Cuz they are still LOOKING at me!
And Adri, I take full blame. (grin) This time.
I am not blushing, Mama! Everyone deserves a good Cabana Boy Cuddle!
January 11th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
You reap what you sow, Adri. =P
Oddly enough, stickers tend to last longer for me than pins, because I tend to be pretty harsh on my stuff. Dunno what to get though.
January 11th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
Lessa: Yyyyeah. I don’t even remember speaking. Apparently I was pretty scary, though. I guess I get frightening when I’m scared.
Good to know. :D;
(Whee. Teddy Bears.
January 11th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Kaine: At least you didn’t throw up - I get ill. And start to shake. And well - its just not pretty at all. There’s usually tears involved.
And Adri - see? my double posting comes natural! Hit the button, realize ya forgot to say something, add more! (Grin)
January 11th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
~laughs~ I’m ignoring the double-posting thing now, because it’s pretty much happening only when people 1. forget something, or 2. miss comments that showed up while they were finishing their own comments. No one’s abusing it to inflate the post count, so it’s fine.
Soooo…it’s after nine…I’m already digging into the Smirnoff, but is anyone else breaking out the liquor besides Lessa and JM? This is a party, after all. And I’m a trained bartender; I know over 250 shooters and at least 100 other mixed drinks. Bar’s open; what’ll it be?
January 11th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
*raises brow* I’ll go back and work on the six pack if you promise to do body shots off of me, Adri.
And Grandma is over…there will be no drinking and carousing in my house tonight. Well, maybe after Stargate…
January 11th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
oooooooooooh! You’re a bartender TOO? How’s your margarita making skills? blended, extra salt, heavy on the quervo. Jose, he is a friend of mine…
January 11th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
…I dunno, Hikaru, I think the girls already have first claim on body shots off the hot cabana boy.
Now, after Grandma goes to bed…then we’ll talk.
~laughs~ One Jose coming up, Lessa. ~digs out the salt~
January 11th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
And ps - Hikaru? I have forgotten NOTHING. I could never forget ya. (grin)
January 11th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Ya know, I could go for a B-52…
I wonder if the bottled ones in the fridge are any good. >.>
January 11th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
~just stares at Kaine in horror~ …a…a bottled B-52? Oh, hell no. Where’d I stash the Bailey’s…
January 11th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Uhm, ya know you are underage Kaine, don’t think because you get a virtual one from Adri means you can go get a real one from your fridge
January 11th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
I got some lame message that I’m posting too quickly and to slow down on wordpress?! Meanwhile I’m missing body shots and cuddles with the cabana boy.
January 11th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Did someone say B-52s? (grabs mic) It’s the LOOOOOOOVE shack, it’s a lil ole place where we can GET TO GETHEEEEEEEEEER… love shack ba-ay-be… (love shack baby!)
….what?
January 11th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
Oh, now I’ve gotta do it.
…~looks around sneakily~
TIIIIIIIIIIIIN ROOF! …rusted.
Ahem. Yes. Well. ~seats himself primly~ I’m done.
January 11th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
XD ‘Sup, Mizuki?
And, ya know, I actually can. It’s my mother’s fault I like them. She got one just so I could taste it. :3
Oh. Dear.
January 11th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
The whole shack SHIMMIES!
(laughs) Nice, Adri!
Sandra - I got that one once too. it behaves after a minute or two. (grin)
January 11th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Dammit, Adri. What, are you my pimp now? $10 for a ride on the bike?
I guess if you sell tickets, it’ll help you move to Chicago faster. Then you’re all mine.
January 11th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
~raises a brow~ Am I, now? Funny, I don’t recall agreeing to be leashed.
January 11th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Only 10 bucks? Sheesh thats cheap! I was gonna pay more, AND cook dinner too… I guess you’ll just have to get spoiled when ya visit MY house, Hikaru… (grin) I take good care of my cabana boys.
January 11th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
Who said anything about you agreeing?
January 11th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Ah, right, I forgot…you like the biting and scratching. I suppose I’d best get back to sharpening my nails.
January 11th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
Hmmm…well, Lessa is looking to be a more hospitable host for my man whoring. *runs away to Lessa’s house*
January 11th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
WHOO! margaritas, win, cabana boy, win, new mug, TOTALLY WIN.
It’s a good night for Lessa’s! (grin)
Off to play mom taxi for the kids, back in a bit. Don’t miss me too much!
January 11th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
OK so I was surfing your website and looking at the web comics and I read that you liked Gravitation and I was like oh thats cool and then you said that you like knew Japanese and thats when I decided that if I was gay, and uhm a guy, then I would so want you in bed ^.^ (Kaine is telling me not to sound creepy so yeah no details :-p)
January 11th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Uh-oh, Hikaru; Lessa’s gone. Who’s going to keep you safe now?
~pauses, blinking at Mizuki~ …oh. Um. Oh. That’s…ah…flattering?
January 11th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
*cries uncontrollably*
I’m gone for 5 minutes *snif* and you find someone to replace me? You curr!
*breaks down into sobs*
January 11th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Of course anytime ^.^ (once again not to sound creepy at the off chance of Kaine killing me)
Also the ad underneath me scares me, shes uhm, talking to me…. and offering sweettarts, must accept candy from strangers >.>
January 11th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
…
-_-;;
~just picks Hikaru up by the scruff of the neck and dumps him on Mizuki~
January 11th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
Oi…I’m a man of discerning tastes. I don’t just jump anyone whom I come across.
*glares* You can stop laughing at me, Adri…
January 11th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
…moi? I’d never laugh at you, Mr. Schwinn.
January 11th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
Yeah, yeah…*listens to the laughter on AIM*
Dick.
January 11th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
~smirks~ That’s why you love me.
January 11th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
….
That’s it, Mizuki. No handbasket for you.
…Why did I tell you to come on here, again?
-.-;
January 11th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Hmmm…good point, Mr. Sanders…
*glomps him*
January 11th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
ACK! ~screeches and flails~ Get it off me, get it off me!
January 11th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
*pouts* Fine. I’m not cuddling with you on cold nights anymore…
January 11th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
*grabs the camera-phone*
Uh, I mean, don’t worry, I’ll save you!
…Or something.
January 11th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
You won’t, Hikaru? I suppose I’ll have to start sleeping in the nude, then. It’s a proven way to conserve body heat inside insulating layers of blankets, of course.
…quick, hide, it’s the paparazzi! Indirazzi? Yes, I know that was lame.
January 11th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
Oi, I told you that last night, but nooooo…you had to go and get dressed again.
January 11th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
Don’t let him whore you off so cheap….and since Lessa screwed off in the taxi, I’ll watch over the cabana boy because there’s more shots to be poured on his body yet. I hope that maid outfit isn’t too sullied.
January 11th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
Sheesh, I go away for 10 minutes (…give or take an hour…) and all hell breaks loose. There’s glomping and screaming and nekid boys and… and… and…
…wait, why am I complaining, again? *Grabs video camera* Carry on!
January 12th, 2008 at 12:02 am
…um. ~blushes, squeaks, and hides behind Hikaru~
January 12th, 2008 at 12:06 am
Okay, so now he needs me. *holds him close* There there, Sugar Plum, it’s all right. Hikaru’s here to save you.
January 12th, 2008 at 12:07 am
(points) he SQUEAKS! Omg, how adorable is that? (zooms in closer)
and I wasn’t screwing off IN a taxi (…though lord knows that’d be more action then this old broad’s seen in a long time…) I WAS the taxi. I used to roll my eyes at my mom when she said she was taxi driving me and my friends everywhere… till I had kids that discovered social lives.
One’s babysitting with her BFF, one’s spending the night with his friend, and the other’s here - though somehow I gained my nephew in the duration… not sure how that happened. Probably his blue eyes, begging. Harumph.
January 12th, 2008 at 12:08 am
…Hikaru was warned that he’d no longer have a sword to wield in battle if he ever called me Sugar Plum again. ~growls~
January 12th, 2008 at 12:11 am
NOT THE WORRIER!
*clutches his crotch and runs screaming from Adri*
January 12th, 2008 at 12:17 am
(cracking up) oh this video is GOLD. We gonna be RICH baybee…
January 12th, 2008 at 12:18 am
Gold, you say? Adri did mention something about me dancing in a gold g-string earlier…don’t think I can quite fill it out if he comes after the worrier.
Then again, he won’t need that $50 in singles, anymore.
January 12th, 2008 at 12:21 am
~surveys his nails~ Well, if you’re out of commission, I can always spend the money on that laptop bag I was eying.
…Lessa, you’d better share the profits.
January 12th, 2008 at 12:24 am
Of course! I’m all about sharing! (grin)
….make of that what you will. (L)
January 12th, 2008 at 12:31 am
Lessa, yes of course you were the taxi…sorry about that but it did sound good.
I have teens also but chased them out in a hurry with bus fare hoping to get some action. Since you’re back, I’ll just head over there since you did mention sharing.
Dancing in a gold g-string you say? Adri, leave his sword/worrier alone!
January 12th, 2008 at 12:42 am
Oi, do I get some of the profits from my body? A boy’s got to eat, after all. And pay the rent. And get bikini waxes to look good in the g-string. And go tanning. Damn, this sounds like a lot of work. *gets the Tostitos and some salsa and sits to watch “Who’s Line”*
January 12th, 2008 at 12:46 am
No buses round here - tiny town and all. But soon my son will be 16 (chokesob) and once he gets his license and his bug unburied from the mound of snow and fixed, HE can play taxi!
And Bring on the g-string! (waves dollah bills!)
January 12th, 2008 at 12:50 am
*giggles* I’m enjoying this post more than I probably should!
Lessa: Ah, the wonders of double entendres!
Peace, love and choclate chip cookie dough!
January 12th, 2008 at 12:51 am
~eyes them all~ Just make sure that lil’ bit of gold frill stays in place, eh? Nae be flashin’ yer danglies out when there’s wee ones about.
…children, I mean. Not wee danglies. Let’s not get into that discussion.
January 12th, 2008 at 12:56 am
This bus doesn’t stop in Full-Frontal Town…g-string stays on. Unless Adri wants to head to the Champagne room with me? *winks*
January 12th, 2008 at 12:56 am
We don’t have dollar bills in Canada and I don’t think he could stuff too many loonies or toonies (dollar and two dollar coins) in his g-string.
Waving five dollar bills at the pale and hairy cabana boy.
January 12th, 2008 at 12:58 am
…but there’s no sex in the Champagne Room.
~cracks up laughing at Sandra~ Now I’m picturing him tinkling and clinking with every step from all the coins in his g-string. Which happens to be tangled in the hair he didn’t wax off.
January 12th, 2008 at 1:03 am
*purrs, stumbling in under a leopard print blanky* …How the hell…damn!!
*plops down and just realized she’s eye level with Hikaru’s crotch* …shiny… *very sleep deprived*
January 12th, 2008 at 1:04 am
Never in my life has my crotch been so scrutinized by complete strangers. I wonder if it means I have a future in the world of porn?
January 12th, 2008 at 1:05 am
now THERE’S a visual. (LMAO) Thanks Adri!
January 12th, 2008 at 1:08 am
I didn’t see Lynn’s comment when I posted, but…damn, that was sweet timing.
And, hold a tick…you were going to sex me up, Adri? We don’t necessarily need the Champagne room. We can find a nice broom closet, or you could wait for the end of my shift…
January 12th, 2008 at 1:10 am
Broom closet? ~snorts~ That’s romantic. Where next, the back seat of a 1984 Camaro?
January 12th, 2008 at 1:11 am
Only if it’s your’s, ‘cuz this hot stripper is driving nothing but sexy German automobiles. *eyes his Dodge and laughs* Oi, it’s made by Daimler…sorta.
January 12th, 2008 at 1:15 am
Ooooooh the backseat of an 1984 Camaro… that brings back memories….
…only it was a Horizon and the front seat at the dive thru and wait - is my mom still reading this? (clears throat, and adjusts halo)
Never mind!
January 12th, 2008 at 1:18 am
~snrks~ Cue Barbara popping out of the woodwork while Lessa blushes and flees for the hills.
…there’s a different girl down there now…the candy heart girl is gone and this other girl is throwing things at me and yelling silently? Creepy. I think they have pills for that…
January 12th, 2008 at 1:20 am
*moves towards Lessa where she feels safer and plops down, my head popping out of my leopard print caccoon* never have sex with a girl who doesn’t even know her last boyfriends medical history…your mother will cry later…:o Stupid friend -.- I curse her!!!
*wants to watch Adri and Hikaru the rest of hte night* Random comments in between, and some that make sense…like…Sex in a car might be a little uncomfortable? I never saw the attraction..
January 12th, 2008 at 1:22 am
*LOL* Nah - Mom learned a long time ago, that I don’t blush quite THAT easily. Most of the time. (Grin)
But I’d never Flee. I’m far too stubborn!
January 12th, 2008 at 1:24 am
Do I get a kiss for being 200, Adri?
January 12th, 2008 at 1:25 am
…I don’t think so. ~eyes Lynn, Lessa - and Lala too, don’t think I don’t see you lurking over there~ They’re watching.
Christ, 200 posts in 24 hours and 25 minutes…we’re insane. All of us.
January 12th, 2008 at 1:28 am
(Sighs) It’s always up to me, ain’t it! (grabs Hikaru and…. kisses his forehead.) Congrats on being 200!
I can’t believe that THIS - helping make 200 posts - is the one thing I’ve accomplished today. (L)
January 12th, 2008 at 1:29 am
*smiles at Lessa* Thanks. Adri kissed me in private, though, so I’m good. *purrs contentedly*
January 12th, 2008 at 1:30 am
i accomplished finishing my homework for one of my classes for once…does that count as an accomplishment? *passes out chicken-salad sandwiches* I’m eating dinner at midnight…
DONT STOPP! D: *wants to watch, has binoculars ready in case you get too far away and I”m too lazy to get up*
January 12th, 2008 at 1:30 am
…~groans~ Hikaru, do you have to tell them everything?
January 12th, 2008 at 1:31 am
Yay! Over 200 posts. I’m very proud.
And there’s nothing wrong with being a voyeur.
January 12th, 2008 at 1:32 am
Oh Sure. I see how it is. I’m not good enough for you! After I was chaste and EVERYTHING.
(Sob!)
January 12th, 2008 at 1:33 am
Yup, Adri, every sordid detail. You should read my LJ…there be chat logs galore!
*flees, in case Adri thinks I’m serious*
January 12th, 2008 at 1:35 am
~smiles sweetly~ That’s okay, I have every phone conversation recorded and uploaded. Should I give everyone the link? Since you want to share every sordid detail.
You’d like that, wouldn’t you, girls?
January 12th, 2008 at 1:36 am
WHOO! Yup! Link away! I adore sordid details!
January 12th, 2008 at 1:37 am
*nods, smiling* yesh! :3
Sordid details are fun!
January 12th, 2008 at 1:43 am
That’s not the smilie I wanted to come out!
:-D 
:-D 
:-D 
:-D 
:-D 
:-D 
:-D 
:-D 
:-D 
:-D 
:-D
There!
January 12th, 2008 at 1:48 am
Nodding like a crazy hyena with her tongue hanging out. I need to get some sleep. Thanks for the laughs
January 12th, 2008 at 1:50 am
Night Sandra! Sleep well!
And Lynn, I think your smilies are broked!
January 12th, 2008 at 1:50 am
Sordid details, please, with a side of vodka and purple fuzzy slippers.
January 12th, 2008 at 1:51 am
NEVER! He’s all mine, ladies, no sharing. *hits Adri for attempting to share the phone calls*
January 12th, 2008 at 1:52 am
Ow! That’s domestic abuse, you bastard! ~growls and goes for the katanas~
January 12th, 2008 at 1:53 am
But I named Adri the grumpy grandpa…
Just kidding! ^^
And yesh, I think they are brokeded! ;-;
January 12th, 2008 at 1:55 am
oooooooooh! KATANAS now! (fires up the camera again)
January 12th, 2008 at 1:58 am
And all your biting and scratching and clawing is just “playful banter”…oh, wait…
January 12th, 2008 at 2:00 am
…that’s just foreplay. ~eyes him~ This, on the other hand, is likely going to end in vivisection.
January 12th, 2008 at 2:01 am
Does anyone know how to fix a water damaged PS2? My stupid brother an his friends knocked over a glass of water and the PS2 was flooded -.- Now it won’t work D-:
*snuggles my guitar hero guitar* I was playing Hard mode too ;-;
January 12th, 2008 at 2:03 am
And Adri whips out the five dollar words too!
January 12th, 2008 at 2:05 am
Can we vivisect the neighbor’s cat? It’s been in heat and meowing at the top of it’s lungs out in their back yard at 4-5 am almost each night for the past week. You just missed it yesterday, it made it hard to sleep after we were done.
January 12th, 2008 at 2:06 am
Hn…Lynn, with electronics, sometimes you can take them apart and set them out in a safe place to air-dry, or turn them on their side to let the water run out. Wait until it’s completely bone dry, not a single drop of water, and it might work again - but don’t plug it in before that (or if you have, don’t do it again). It’s generally not the water itself that damages it. It’s the rogue electrical current transmitted through the water to components that shouldn’t be receiving a direct charge.
…Hikaru, leave the kitty alone. ~pointedly ignores the other part of it~
January 12th, 2008 at 2:08 am
Well, Sandra seems to have ensured I have a nice stack of fivers here. Should we bribe Adri to flaunt that sexy vocabulary of his, Lessa?
January 12th, 2008 at 2:10 am
Oooh….okies!! *goes to make sure James doesn’t go near the machines* We’ve gone through about 7 PS2’s, most of them his, I was gonna kill him if he ruined mine too! >.
January 12th, 2008 at 2:13 am
Hikaru: Sounds like a plan to me! I do love it when boys talk geek, even if i’m blond and rarely understand them. (L)
January 12th, 2008 at 2:17 am
…yes, because I’m sure everyone would love to hear me spout off a minor metric ton of pedantic drivel. ~mutters dryly~
Wait, isn’t that what 451 pays me for?
…wait. Lynn, how the hell has he managed to kill seven PS2s? I’m only on my second in about five years!
January 12th, 2008 at 2:18 am
it cut my message again…*sighs cause she forgot what she wrote*I should really sleep…I’m gonna have rehearsal tomorrow(today) and I gotta walk there! It’s close by, but still!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=pF5WiGpGvhA
That’s a video of my last performance, it was a short skit, and we performed before all the other classes cause we rock like that ^^ There’s a second part to that video too.
January 12th, 2008 at 2:20 am
Oh! Um, because he’s a douche bag and doesn’t take care of his things. I’ve stil got Gameboy Color games and the last GBA he got he colored the screen with green marker and just treated it like crap. He rides skateboards now so I hope he gets hit by a truck heading to walmart delivering video games…it would be an interesting revenge considering he lost my Pokemon Red Version -.- MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! >D
January 12th, 2008 at 2:21 am
That’s why we come here everyday, Adri! Gosh! (grin)
Dang. I must be a mean mom. My kids are still on their first PS2 they got just 2 years ago. (L)
January 12th, 2008 at 2:33 am
…you’re such a loving sister, Lynn. Really. And the premise behind that play seemed interesting.
Okay, everyone…I’m off to shave, get dressed, and head out to the store now, so your comments won’t be showing up near-instantaneously anymore - but I’ll catch any that showed up in my absence shortly. I suppose it’s a good thing; it’ll keep you from molesting Hikaru when I’m not around. Mine.
Later. This has been hilariously fun…and we’re almost to the halfway point already.
January 12th, 2008 at 2:38 am
Well if you know him, Adri, you’d agree -.- He learned everything he knows from TELEVISION! Do you have any idea how annoying it is to have an 8th grader continuously quote things from KND!?!?! DO YOU!?!?
*twitch twitch*
I’ve got other siblings though, half siblings, I’ve only met two though..but they’re cool ^^
January 12th, 2008 at 2:50 am
Ah, sibling rivalry! Drives me nuts between my kids - but I’m the good daughter, just don’t ask my sister. hahah!
And isn’t it late for a store run? I thought I was the only person who liked to hit the store after midnight. (L)
And I’ll molest whomever I please. HARUMPH.
January 12th, 2008 at 2:54 am
My friends molested me today! They grabbed my breasts during class and just held them… It was very awkward but one of them was a gay guy so it was okay lol
The other was a lesbian friend of mine who graduates this year. I’mma miss her ;-;
January 12th, 2008 at 3:07 am
*hides behind Adri* Protect me, oh knight in shiny pick glasses! Hold me close to your strong chest and tell me of your conquests. *swoon* Oh yes, I can hear the warrior within you coming for me…*gags*
Sorry, Lessa, he’s getting all possessive. I can’t help but choose him when he gets all dominant like that…
January 12th, 2008 at 3:15 am
I’m bored, and I have MSN, AIM, and yahoo…anyone want to add me? Sorry if this is spam, I’m just really bored..
AIM-Dragonmaster566
MSN and yahoo-vegnasinx4491@sbcglobal.net
January 12th, 2008 at 3:20 am
~pauses on his way out the door~ Hikaru, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I hate you.
January 12th, 2008 at 3:23 am
Heehee…I like it here ^^
January 12th, 2008 at 3:26 am
(cracks up) I understand Hikaru. They’re cute when they get all possessive aren’t they? My late hubby was that way sometimes too. I’d just pat him on the shoulder and give a ‘there, there’, buy him beer and invite the boys over to the Man Space for poker. Cheered him right up, every time… and distracted him just enough so that I could do whatever it was I wanted. (Grin)
January 12th, 2008 at 4:10 am
*mewls* I’m gonna go to bed now, it’s late and I have to be up at 8 or 9 to get ready and walk to the place I gotta go for rehearsal
*snugglepoofs everyone* I’ll see you all later! I’ll be back by 2 ^^
January 12th, 2008 at 4:17 am
*has a very hard time believing Adri*
January 12th, 2008 at 4:21 am
*scampers warily out of the lurk-bushes*
…
*whistles* wow…thats a long crazy train. Is it too late to catch a ride? And..and…
TEDDYBEARS and no COOKIES? What kind of place is this?
…
But it is a cute teddy :3 Ok, forget the cookes.
(hope that helps the post count)
January 12th, 2008 at 4:40 am
Alright darlings, I think it’s about time for me to call it a night. I’ve people to do and things to see at early hours of the morning. And by early, I mean before noon, which is my preferred wake-up time. Sigh. A mama’s work is never done.
I expect to find MANY MANY comments when i return home tomorrow! You have your mission. This message will self destruct in 5…4…3…2…zzzzzzzzz
January 12th, 2008 at 4:42 am
…I dunno about the many comments thing. It’s hard to keep things going when I’m not conscious to approve comments so people can hold an actual dialogue, and as soon as I finish my sandwich and call Hikaru to say goodnight, I’m crashing out until at least noon CST (it’s almost bloody 4a here, oi!). But maybe we can get things into swing again tomorrow night. We’re already almost halfway there.
‘night, Lessa. And everyone.
January 12th, 2008 at 4:44 am
*looks around* She’s gone, Adri. Can we start the real fun now? I’ll go grab the baby oil and you get the slip ‘n slide and we’ll meet out front of your place in about 20 minutes. Sound good?
January 12th, 2008 at 4:49 am
Only if I can bring the machete.
January 12th, 2008 at 4:57 am
*pout* Takes all my fun away…
January 12th, 2008 at 5:20 am
That’s what I’m here for.
Ne, call me, you dink, then go to bed.
January 12th, 2008 at 10:06 am
Morning!! I’m on my way to rehearsal now! Or going to be…wish me luck :3
*gives everyone cookies* ^^
January 12th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Geez. Looks like I missed a lot of fun last night. *sighs* Me and my insistence on sleeping, eh? (Or trying to, anyway.)
Oh, NOW the creepy ads show up. And I was just thanking my lucky stars that I had no idea what you guys were talking about last night.
January 12th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Good morning, everyone!
erm, Lessa . . .
“Ooooooh the backseat of an 1984 Camaro… that brings back memories….
…only it was a Horizon and the front seat at the dive thru and wait - is my mom still reading this? (clears throat, and adjusts halo)”
a “dive thru”? Honey, gal - at least WE did it in a drive in (movie, that is!) Heh.
oh, and sorry about the double post earlier, Adri - ‘puter timed out and when I came back it had posted at its original time - I just type too darned quick - y’all be good now!
January 12th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
It’s very cold here. Really. I’m completely frozen and have borrowed a big velvet jacket to prevent freezing.
Also, I’m amazed at just how much this whole thing’s progressed since yesterday!
January 12th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Woot, Go Lynn!
*happily munches on long awaited cookie*
Hm…I’ve never seen the creepy ad either, and hopefully I never will!
January 12th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Morning, ya’ll!
and Hikaru, I’m HURT that you wanted the real fun WITHOUT me. *Sob!* Just for that I’m going into town and NOT COMING BACK….for a few hours. (grin)
And MAMA! *GASP!* Not my fault ya’ll moved me to a place without drive in movies. (grin)
Now I’m off, well before I should even be outa bed. Harumph.
January 12th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Del: Really?
Here it’s actually really nice. A lot like early spring time - cool but pleasant, maybe in the low sixties.
Of course, tomorrow we’re supposed to have a snow storm, 8-12 inches.
I love New England.
January 12th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
*yawns* Morning all!
January 12th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
*comes in on a wheel chair* Dance rehearsal…my feet HURT T.T but it was fun!!
we made lots of progress ^^
January 12th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
~finally drags out of bed, yawning~ …did I miss anything?
January 12th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Just $5 lap dances, Adri. Too late…*grins*
January 12th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Uhm. There were cookies.
I think that’s about it. :3
January 12th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
I’m back - albeit for only a short time - I’ve been out to breakfast with hubby, coffee with the gal pals knitting gurus - yarn shopping at TWO stores - and now home for a short time. Whatchall doing?
January 12th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Hikaru: Eh, I’m not worried; I can get them for free any time I want.
Kaine: Cookies are the be-all and end-all of existence.
Barbara: I think it’s a little slow around here what with it being midday on a Saturday and me being dead unconscious and not around to approve comments in a timely fashion.
…and I’m going to be slow on it even now, as I need to get an early start on Monday’s comic as it requires a lot more drawing than normal.
January 12th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Meh. Perhaps. But only when people agree to make them without eggs, which doesn’t happen very often. As a result, it’s been a very long time since I’ve had a proper cookie. Especially since I don’t think I can be trusted to make them. =/
January 12th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
No problem, Adri. Draw on. I have a feeling that CERTAIN people around here can party on with or without you. But, I have to run and do some stuff, too. You know, those CHORES we all hate to do (washing, etc.)
Have a loverly weekend. I hope you hit your 500 - and remember, I have MOOSE to trade for teddy bears. hahahahhahaha
January 12th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
~laughs~ Well, Hikaru’s out right now, so I don’t know what the girls will do without their cabana boy.
The drawing’s going more quickly than I expected; I’ve already finished all the rough sketches and I’ve started retracing. I just keep getting distracted by tearing around the apartment howling and dancing around to some old B-52s tracks that I dug out.
That? Entirely Lessa’s fault.
January 12th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
*giggles, amazed by the stories adults talk about* Wow…. I’m…so fascinated o.o
January 12th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Whoa I missed a lot while I was at school didn’t I?
Incidentally, how do you (’you’ as in ‘those of an american persuasion or similar’) pronounce Des Moines? I was wondering about it a while ago and just remembered.
January 12th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Lynn: I…uh…really don’t think we’re stellar examples of typical adult conversation. ~coughs~ Anyway…how are your feet feeling?
Shirvona: Don’t quote me on this, but it’s kind of…”Deh MOYN-uh”.
January 12th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
*shrugs* You’re more entertaining
I’m friends with some of my teachers at school and a few authors and I trade e-mails online with them so I’m familiar with the childish adult ^^
January 12th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
…weird. Like a kinda cross between french and american-ese?
January 12th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Lynn: All adults are childish underneath. It’s a matter of whether we relax and enjoy it, or if we get all stiff and stodgy and try to deny it…until we throw a tantrum.
Shirvona: …kind of. American English is just screwy, and it’s different all over the country. Dialects are different all over the country, different words have different meanings and pronunciations, and various areas have heavier influences from other languages in the local dialect. Hell, Southern U.S. English confuses the hell out of me sometimes, and I grew up down here. Don’t get me started on New England English.
January 12th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Iiiiiiii’mmmmm baaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaack!
And i’m not just childish underneath. I’m outright childish all the time. (grin) That’s why the teens call me the ‘cool mom’!
I’m very much in touch with my inner teenager. (grin)
January 12th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
I less than 3 dialects, it’s fun trying to figure out what words mean what ^^
January 12th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Hey, careful Adri. Don’t you be insultin’ my people, now.
January 12th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Oh, crap; Lessa’s back. Hide the cabana boys and the body oil!
Lynn: Sometimes MidWestern just…throws me. I have a few friends from out there and sometimes the things they say leave me blinking dumbly and wondering what in hell it meant. (Or it’s funny as hell, like when a certain someone says “Lordy-loo”.)
Kaine: B-but…i can’t help it! …mainly because New England food scares me. Except clam chowder. I do love me some clam chowder.
…holy hell, this comment has been sitting unfinished for almost an hour while I tried to finish a rather difficult e-mail. Bah. Right, I’m supposed to be working on the comic…
January 12th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
*sulks* You take away all my fun, Adri!
and them New Englanders ain’t got nothing on fresh dug, cleaned, made clam chowder right on the beaches here in Alaska.
Or so they say. I hate clams. (L)
January 12th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
*gags* I hate seafood. I LOATHE and DESPISE seafood (much to the dismay of my New England friends and my Portuguese family).
You’re right, though. Our English is pretty messed up (And I’ve spent ages trying to rid myself of the vaguely Bostonian accent of my area). I think I know why, though - we seem to still be the closest to British English in our pronunciation, only we do it with a more American style that makes it sound kind of whiny and frankly, rather stupid. We just don’t speak with the same elegance that they Brits do. *sigh*
January 12th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
o.O;; Note to self: never try to feed either Lessa or Kaine any of your homemade seafood gumbo. Especially if it involves clams.
January 12th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Well, I’d be good and TASTE it, at least. But I’m not a seafood fan, nope. I do love Halibut (FRESH halibut, from the boat to the cleaning table to the oven to the eating table!) in a couple of different ways (Hellllloooooo beer-batter-dipped and fried goodness..), and the occasional salmon isn’t bad. But on the whole, I’d rather have a steak.
But as a rule, I don’t turn down free food. Figures like this take TIME and DEDICATION, you know. (I have the perfect hourglass figure - it just holds 3.5 hours!)
January 12th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Oh, there’s a lot of things I won’t eat! ^-^;
…And this is why I really need to learn to properly cook. I’m the only vegetarian/near-vegan and easily the pickiest eater in my family. >:|
January 12th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
…wow and holy crap. You came a long way since…4 this morning. I think I peed a little reading it all. I wonder how much more will there be when i get back from dinner?
And cookies kick ass. Especially if they have chocolate chips. Or are snickerdoodles.
January 12th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
ewwww fish…blech me no likey fish! I speak in the tongue of teenagers! I say the word F*CK and SH*T in every other sentence!!
But only with other teenagers or adults who can’t seem to find other words to describe things. And I use some spanish slang, such as chong, fresa, etc.
Once when we went to New York, in Manhattan, the doorman at the hotel said we had an accent and guessed we were hispanic and I was thinking, “I have an accent..?”
January 12th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Man - it’s awfully quiet in here! We gotta step it up with only 24 hours to go before that comic Adri’s slaving over goes live. Someone break out the booze and baby oil! Where’s Hikaru?
(and if olive oil is made from olives… what’s baby oil made of?)
January 12th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
I forgot. About…a hundred + comments up someones were talking about a video? I can practically guarantee I’ve seen worse. Can link to worse. Except then Adri would shiv my face off. And then I wouldn’t have a face. Which would be sad.
January 12th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Amanda: no face would indeed be sad. Please avoid all possible things that would end up with shiv’ing to the face. (grin)
January 12th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Lynn: Of course you have an accent. Everyone has an accent. You just don’t hear it when it’s your own. :3
I have that issue too, though. When my friend came up from North Carolina, he said we talk funny, and my first instinct was to tell him, “Nu-uh, YOU do!” It’s all a matter of perspective, I suppose. ^-^
Amanda: Yes, please don’t. I think we’d all much prefer you with your face on. ^-^;
January 12th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Sorry, guys, I wandered AFK to work out for a bit. Managed to get myself in a bit of a snarly mood and had to go work off some aggression, and kind of forgot about approving comments. (…and now I stink and need to go shower…)
Amanda: White chocolate macadamia nut cookies are the best ever. And yes, I would shiv your face off. We’ve been bad enough here (I know, I know, I started it, picture worth a thousand words and all) but let’s not get any worse. This is kinda sorta my job.
Lynn: Am I the only person here who loves fish? Every time I cook, it’s something involving seafood.
You know, around here people tell me I have an accent because I don’t sound Southern. I think they have an accent because they do sound Southern. To people from England, we all have an accent. Flat, drawling, and absolutely hilarious to someone who speaks the mother tongue.
Lessa: We need to average about nine comments an hour from here on out in order to hit 500. Think that’s possible?
As far as booze…am I going to have to play bartender again? Hikaru may be around soon - not sure. Like I said, he’s out right now (although he’s badgering me via SMS now and then).
(Baby oil is made from the collagenase and gelatinase enzymes taken from the epidermal layers of human infants, of course. Or…it could just be a liquid petrolatum byproduct.)
January 12th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Hell, I could post 9 comments an hour of innane quality on my own. I just don’t promise they’d be entertaining so other folks have to join in. It’s certianly doable!
(and so am I, but that’s another story…
…mom’s still reading, isn’t she? HAHAHA!)
Speaking of mom, i DID get a phone call today… “DRIVE THRU? Lessa…” and I feigned innocence. Yup. (polishes halo)
And oooooooooh them big words is SEXAY. But you do need a shower. (grin)
January 12th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
“Talk nerdy to me, baby?” ~snrks~ And I’ll go shower in a minute! I’m finishing my weights in between comments. >.> I finished drawing the comic, took one look at the way I drew my arms, and thought, “…they don’t look like that anymore. I need to get back to work on that.” ~is apparently more vain than he thought~
Your mother is adorable. Seriously. And your back-and-forth with her is hilarious.
Hikaru says he’ll be home after midnight CST, by the way. So in about three hours.
January 12th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
I like fish. Just so Adri isn’t the only one that doesn’t. Salmon is wonderful smoked.
Adri: I wouldn’t have actually posted it here. Possibly in lj just to traumatize my flist for fun, but not here, no worries.
January 12th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
Of course! Assuming that you don’t mind decoding when I get that patented blond ‘…..huh?’ look. (grin)
And ooooooh weights. I should do that. Not gonna, but should. (ha!)
Yeah, me mum’s pretty cute, she is. Good thing, since I look just like her! (g)
And what’s this - Hikaru has a social life? bah. He should be shut in at home with us. We’ll flog him when he returns. Or we would, if he didn’t like it so bloody much. Harumph.
January 12th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Erk. Note to self: do not read LJ tonight. Or tomorrow. Or until Amanda forgets about this.
Aw, Lessa, so if I start talking about keratinocytes and melanocytes, you won’t know what I’m talking about? What about thermophilic extremophiles and genetic aberrations among cephalopods?
Hikaru? Social life? ~snorts~ I’ll leave it up to him to tell you where he’s been when he gets back. In the meantime…my stinky bum’s going to go shower, so for about thirty minutes, there won’t be any comments showing up. Don’t let that stop you, but still. Y’know. Need a few minutes away.
…we are so not doing this again until the Akismet problem is fixed. Kee-rist, having to approve everything is a pain in the bumcheeks.
January 12th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
(blinks, grabs dictionary.com and starts looking things up) The only words there that I recognized was genetic aberrations - and I’ve heard cephalopods before, but can’t quite place it in mah blond peabrain. So, uh, that’d be a ‘….huh?’ (L) Well, thermophilic - that’d have something to do with heat, and extremophiles? is that like extremities? Gah. I’m an dork. Thank god for Google.
Enjoy the shower! (grin)
Haha! And of course it won’t stop me! NOTHING WILL STOP ME! MUHAHAHHA! (ahem)
January 12th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Cephalopods are squid and related creatures.
An extremophile is a microorganism that thrives in extreme conditions, such as bacteria and fungi that grow in sulphur-rich, superheated waters near the ocean floor at submarine ridge emission points. Thermophilic extremophiles thrive in situations of extreme heat, such as near the mouths of volcanoes.
…and you’re a little scary, hon. Let me know when you plan to take over the world so I can hide in the bunker.
January 12th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Aw, I’m not scary! More… fluffy and cuddly. Cept I don’t like to cuddle.
Anyway. I will letcha know. My henchmen (because everyone taking over the world needs henchmen!) will even escort you to the bunker. I’ll make sure they’re easy on the eyes, even.
January 12th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
PS - I shall be sure to bring up that bit of trivia at some point to make myself look “smarticle” (as my daughter says)! I’m a hit at parties, I’ll tell ya!
…if by ‘hit’ you mean hiding in the back, not talking to anyone, and doing her best wallflower impression.
January 12th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
OMG I knew what cephalopods were!! I are smartt! :3
I feel so tiny…i’m the youngest one here, arne’t I? T.T
January 12th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
300! Only 200 more to go! WHOO!
And I vaguely remembered the cephalopods from my college biology class, most likely, but man. That was a LONG TIME AGO. In my defense and all. (L)
January 12th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
199 comments and 25.5 hours.
January 12th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
…Whoops. Got a bit sidetracked there, didn’t I? I was just so busy braiding my hair and reading some of K.L. Gaffney’s shiny Zaubercorp backstory…
*ahem* Anyway.
Lynn: You might be the youngest, but not by much. I only turned 17 in September. :3
January 12th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Oy. I’m clearly the oldest one here, then. I better go call Mama and tell her to get back in here and remedy that situation. (L)
January 12th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
*giggles and tries to pick someone to cling to* who do I like more…? *follows everyone, switching at regular intervals* wheeee!!
and yay! I’m not da youngest :3
January 12th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
YIKES. My son just saw the ad down there - i had to fight him away from my computer, again! Harumph.
(Not that I mind he saw it, just the fact that I had to fight to get my keyboard back!)
Teenage boys are SUCH a pain.
January 12th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
Lynn: Really? I thought you were only 16. o.o
*promptly gets distracted again by the shininess that is the drakthae* *-*
January 12th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
i am 16, but i turn 17 in about a week and a half
so I count that in an just round off my age from 16 to 17 ^^
Lessa: What ad?
January 12th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
Sorry, was on the phone with Hikaru. What did I miss?
Also, he says, “I love you all, and you’re all welcome to my striptease on the pole.” (Paraphrasing, I was only half-listening.)
He then vehemently protested when he heard me typing, and swore he was going to deny everything later. Just so y’know, if he does, he’s lying.
January 13th, 2008 at 12:00 am
(cracks up) Well, usually those of the male species ARE lying, so we’ll just factor that in. (grin)
Lynn: the one with the girl that throws the pillow for the vid chat thing. He was using the magnify function on my mouse to try and look down her shirt. heh.
January 13th, 2008 at 12:01 am
Ah. I see. Then I still win. By a couple of months, at least. *sticks out his tongue*
January 13th, 2008 at 12:07 am
So, in being welcome to his striptease on the pole - are we welcome to film it, to participate in it, to watch it, to throw things at him while he does it….
I think we need clarification. Yup.
January 13th, 2008 at 12:08 am
I’m sure he’ll be happy to clarify when he gets home. After he finishes killing me. ~snrks~
…waaaaait a second. Hey! What was that about lying? We are not! We do not!
…well, no, there was this guy I dated once…
January 13th, 2008 at 12:10 am
*gets sucked in with a loud shwomphPLOP* ….Umm…. Hi.
I seem to have been… forcefully transported here to take part in some strange comment-alistic ritual of some sort. o.o
*pretends like he knows what’s going on*
…o.o;;
January 13th, 2008 at 12:12 am
(LOL) I’m sure he will.
Have a friend who’s bored and gonna say hello shortly. To help us in our Ultimate Comment Quest - she lives in HOLLYWOOD! I saw the Hollywood sign from her balcony! It was AWESOME.
She’s famous. To me. (g)
And is this one of those stories, Adri, that by ‘this guy’ you mean yourself? Like we used to tell our parents “my FRIEND has this problem…”?
January 13th, 2008 at 12:14 am
*whimpers and pouts, running to Lessa* I’m not THAT young right? ;-;
January 13th, 2008 at 12:14 am
Hello, Arkie. I suggest you smack the person who dragged you into this madhouse. You’ll never escape now.
No, Lessa, I mean “this guy”. We dated, he lied a lot, he cheated on me.
January 13th, 2008 at 12:17 am
Hi Arkie! Welcome to the madhouse. (grin)
And well then ‘that guy’ is an ass. Want I should beat him up for you?
January 13th, 2008 at 12:19 am
No, that’s okay. I ran half his belongings through a wood chipper and then sent him home to his Mommy. ~smiles brightly~
January 13th, 2008 at 12:19 am
ok. so I began this with the most incredible wisdom in my brain to comment not only to add to the numbers–but to have my voice heard. Meanwhile, its been a little while, there have been a few glasses of wine, and I have found myself lost in each comment and have no recollection on my main purpose or idea.
Meanwhile, I truly feel that shouldn’t matter, since this is technically a commment on how scattered my brain is and how fast I can forget the actual point I was going to make. Let’s also remember I only know one person here so be the time I got to comment, I had no clue who was who and what they were talking about. lol
Meanwhile, I live in Hollywood, and my best friends are homosexual. I love them all and whatever the original post was, which obviously I somehow remembered it being about homosexuality…just know I support one thing.
BE WHO YOU ARE AND BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE.
no matter what it is regrding.
Theres my 1 cent, since I forgot my other cent.
January 13th, 2008 at 12:19 am
NICE! That’s creative AND effective. I approve.
January 13th, 2008 at 12:20 am
Wheeee! Arkie! Yer here! *glomps!*
Don’t listen to Adri; it’s perfectly safe here! And fun, besides. You’ll like it, I promise.
January 13th, 2008 at 12:21 am
…Erica’s obviously been drinking the good shit. I think she needs to share.
If I find your other cent, can I keep it as a lucky penny?
January 13th, 2008 at 12:24 am
hahaha. That’s my Erica, my dramamama. She’s always drinking the good shit. (grin)
January 13th, 2008 at 12:28 am
*wishes she could drink the good shit* ;-;
January 13th, 2008 at 12:32 am
This is awesome.
I should totally be sleeping now.
BUT!
The best part is, every minute I suffer from lack of sleep, Kaine’s going to join me. Hee.
January 13th, 2008 at 12:36 am
Sleep is for the weak!
(course, it’s only 8:35pm here…)
January 13th, 2008 at 12:37 am
Sleep? Who needs sleep?
Don’t MAKE me start singing.
…Jeebus, did that girl just ATTACK the camera?! o.o;;
(Wow. Midnight thirty already, and I still haven’t had supper. Meh. *should fix that*)
January 13th, 2008 at 12:38 am
It’s 11:37p here. And…I’m…going to try to stay awake until midnight tomorrow. Stupid Akismet. Bleh. I have work to do anyway to fill the time. ~is working on a Flash color personality quiz for his other job…very very slowly~
So is that your revenge on Kaine for dragging you over here, Arkie? Or are you planning something more hideous and possibly involving bamboo slivers?
..wait…did someone mention singing? ~breaks out the Pink albums~
January 13th, 2008 at 12:40 am
Flash Color personality quiz - sounds interesting… (my inner designer just perked up) man. i never did manage to master flash. I tried a couple times.
And that’s the program, of course. Flashing random strangers, that I can do. hahah.
January 13th, 2008 at 12:43 am
Well, in my case, I consider sleep to be for the tired. Or the narcoleptic, whichever.
Jus’ got back from hellish day at work, physically sore. So I’m jus’ making it a point to wake Kaine up at the same ungodly hour I’m going to wake up, whether he’s gotten to sleep by that time or not. 
….and now I have that silly song in my head. …I’mma play DJ Max now.
January 13th, 2008 at 12:43 am
I can make AMV’s…I know it’s not flash but it’s media, isn’t it? *whimpers cause she’s poor and can’t afford a real camera or software to make real movies* T.T
January 13th, 2008 at 12:44 am
Lessa, I had a few classes on animating and scripting in Flash in animation school, but most of what I know now I’ve taught myself atop that foundation. I actually teach Flash over at About.com to pay my rent, by breaking down all the silly little widgets I make and showing how to make them. I have all kinds of goofy stuff over there; a Halloween trivia quiz, a Halloween dress-up doll, Christmas and New Year’s eCards that you can customize and send to your friends, a Christmas tree with drag-and-drop ornaments and animated falling snow, a Flash-based skinnable oekaki program with all kinds of painting options…and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Been building up lessons, tips, and articles over there for about three years now; it’s a fun job. Pays the rent, at least.
Lynn, what program do you use to make your AMVs? ~learned digital video editing in Premiere and used to have to make AMVs for class assignments~
January 13th, 2008 at 12:48 am
Nice! I’ll have to take a look and maybe give it a try again one of these days. There’s so many people who look at me like I’m nuts when I refuse to design websites in flash 1. because I can’t and 2. because I hate them. (L) Clean and simple, that’s me! Course, if i DID learn flash I’d up my prices, and the same people would be all pissed because of that too. Never satisfied, people aren’t.
January 13th, 2008 at 12:50 am
Uhm, Adri, why are you giving him ideas?
(And I was thinking more along the lines of the Barenaked Ladies, but Pink works too. Oh, and I was curious if you listened to Nine Inch Nails, because…well, nevermind why. Just curious.)
Well, Arkie, that’s all well and good, but, see, I don’t have to drive for two hours after waking up. Worse comes to worst, I can sleep in the back seat. :3
January 13th, 2008 at 12:53 am
Kaine: …because I’m a bastard like that?
And now I have “One Week” stuck in my head. Brings back fond memories of university. A friend and I used to make each other laugh like hell by doing a full runthrough of that song together.
I do like some NIN; why?
…oh look, now I’m double-posting.
January 13th, 2008 at 12:57 am
Yeah, I dabble. I haven’t done too much lately, just updating past clients, and a new site coming up. My son likes it because most of those clients are bellydancers (L) he has this ability to appear whenever I’m working on their pictures!
And… I’d show you mine? But I feel horribly little and untalented next to you so. um. Yeah. (grin) My BFF drug me to AiO and I even have a bachelor’s degree with a 3.9 gpa, and STILL second guess myself. Go figure. *L*
January 13th, 2008 at 12:59 am
I use Windows Movie Maker, you can see my amv’s on youtube under the s/n crossfiregundam
My favorite amv, and in my opinion, the best one, is an AMV to Kill You by Eminem
Some are just slide show kinda things with pics and stuff, so yea..
January 13th, 2008 at 1:00 am
~snorts~ Please, there’s no reason to feel untalented. The only designs I ever do that I like are the ones I do for myself, and even those are hokey. For paid clients…ech. I could send you some URLs that would make you claw your eyes out, but whatever the customer wants…
…now I want to see the belly-dancing! ~loves belly-dancing, has a few instruction videos, but can’t seem to find a class in Houston that will allow men~
Lynn, I’ll check out your AMVs later; I have a serious aversion to YouTube. No idea why. Just makes me start hissing.
January 13th, 2008 at 1:02 am
Now, see, you COULD do that… but that just leaves you vulnerable.
But then again, I suppose the one that’s really going to get the punishment is going to be Dravy, once you pounce on her in your sleep-deprived state. 
January 13th, 2008 at 1:02 am
Mm. I noticed. Thanks for that. :3
Great, now I do, too. I’m not sure if that’s better or worse than “Who Needs Sleep?” Either way, it’s certainly better than the random Powerman 5000 that was on mental repeat before.
Er…it would totally reveal my utter dorkiness if I were to say. Something to do with the fact then whenever I hear any mention of New Orleans, I immediately think of Trent’s old house there. It was a nice place, too. *is NOT a creepy stalker. Not at all*
*gasp* How could you?!
January 13th, 2008 at 1:05 am
Ok, ok, I’ll show ya. But no laughing! *L*
http://lessasdesign.com
I know, original name. *L* bellydancer wise - dancemastersofbellydance.com
dalloua.com
desertdance.com
the gal who runs the first one is the PR for the other two, and a lot of others, so she pulls a lot of random business my way, and she’s constantly redesigning her site, which is good for me, too. *L* I don’t know of anyone in your area, but I’ll ask the girls, Angel might know of someone.
I love bellydancing too. But well - no one wants to see THIS belly do anything of the sort. *L*
January 13th, 2008 at 1:08 am
I do, however, have my smug design moments, when my BFF - the same one who drug me off to school - has to ask ME how to do something. (Smirk) that ALWAYS makes a day better.
course, he’s one of those over achieving types like you - he’s a fantastic artist (by HAND even, pen and inks, pencil, and on computer in adobe pixelpickin) Me - Im a master manipulator. In photoshop, I mean. *g*
January 13th, 2008 at 1:09 am
Aww, poor Dravy. She’ll deal with it. >:3 (Good point, though. I must remember to be more cautious. >.>)
And Adri, belly-dancing? I might pay to see that. Hells, I’d totally pay to see that!
January 13th, 2008 at 1:11 am
Whoa, wait, what?! Hikaru’s the one who puts on the shows here, not me!
Lessa, that’s a really nice design; I like the way the colors blend. And meh, your friend makes me a little jealous. I’m a mediocre artist, though I admit No Style isn’t my best work. I don’t put a lot of effort into it. I have a small portfolio of a few pieces on my personal blog, things I put more work into, but I haven’t updated it in ages and there are a few new pieces that need to go in there. I tend to do my best work in a mixture of hand-drawn and Photoshop art.
January 13th, 2008 at 1:12 am
Adri belly-dancing would be cam-corder worthy, and at his funeral or 50th b-day party we shall play it in front of everyone and gauge their reaction. ^^
January 13th, 2008 at 1:14 am
No! No we most certainly should not!
January 13th, 2008 at 1:16 am
Thanks (blush)
And he makes me jealous all the time. *L* Good thing I love him like I do. I can’t toss out his portfolio in public - i’ll send it to you private though. (grin) check your email in a few, after I locate it again. (L) It hasn’t been updated in some time, as he’s without a home connection (and has been for three. years. now. How does he LIVE?!)
I’ve seen ya stuff. Your still much better then me. I wish I could get what my mind SEES down on paper using my OWN hands. Alas…
January 13th, 2008 at 1:17 am
Y’know, somehow, that mental song virus of Barenaked Ladies has transmutated in it’s journey, and now I have the really goofy AMV of Weird Al’s version of the song put to Sailor Moon stuck in my head.
*twitch*
January 13th, 2008 at 1:17 am
Well, Hikaru’s not here. Besides, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind taking a break if it meant you took his place for a while. :3
Good idea, Lynn. Lessa, you’re the one with the video camera, aren’t you?
January 13th, 2008 at 1:20 am
…Weird Al has a version of that song? Is that just some horrible repressed childhood memory or something? *shudders*

And I can do editing and with my mic do commentary
*in monotonous narrator voice from animal planet* the elusive Adrius Sanderus has just begun his mating dance…the only thing is..he’s by himself in front of his mirror…obviously he is confused…what has this beautiful creature been smoking…?
JUST KIDDING x3
January 13th, 2008 at 1:23 am
Why yes, yes I am, kaine! it’s a lil one, but it’ll do the job!
January 13th, 2008 at 1:33 am
~flat look~ So which one of you wants to be the first to lose a finger?
(…by the way, Lessa, your friend’s site is nice. It killed my browser, but it’s nice.)
January 13th, 2008 at 1:38 am
(L) Yeah. I want to go in and fix everything for him? But well. That’d be 1. overstepping and 2. impossible since he has all his files, I don’t.
One day though.. I’m gonna at least go and fix that annoying resize window thing. GOD I HATE THAT. I WANT my windows to say the EXACT SIZE I HAVE THEM. (L)
January 13th, 2008 at 1:40 am
The only time I’ve had the misfortune of experiencing that particular mash-up was on that AMV. It’s the Jerry Springer song he did. To the tune of “One Week”. It’s a cute AMV, though… at least, if you’re a Sailor Moon fan. Which those things, I’ve been told, are called “Moonies”. A perfectly ridiculous thing to label one’s self.
…’smaybe why I am one.
January 13th, 2008 at 1:40 am
*clings to Adris’ leg and snuggles* but i
January 13th, 2008 at 1:41 am
Sweet, Lessa!
Er…Adri, was that a rhetorical question?
*hides behind Arkie, aka The Tree, just in case*
January 13th, 2008 at 1:44 am
*suddenly remembers that song and video*
Damnit, I was just fine NOT remembering! Much like with the Pinion video. *twitch…twitchtwich*
January 13th, 2008 at 1:48 am
*glares at cut off* i gave you a fish cookie Adri!!! :3 you likie fishies?
January 13th, 2008 at 1:51 am
-_-;; I like fish. I like cookies. Fish cookies, however, make me feel like a badly-animated bear named Boog, voiced by a washed-up has-been comic actor.
January 13th, 2008 at 1:54 am
ooh….sowwii…*gives you fish and cookies seperately* How about now?
January 13th, 2008 at 2:03 am
*munches his late-night Chinese food* ‘Sup.
Oooo…*waits for the latest edition of “Adri Gone Wild: Bellydance Edition” to come out online*
January 13th, 2008 at 2:05 am
Oh, now you show up?! Where were you twenty minutes ago?! ~just shoves Hikaru at the girls (well, and guys) and bolts while they’re distracted~
January 13th, 2008 at 2:05 am
maaaaaan. why am I stuck watching ANTM marathons?! I like trash tv, but there’s only so much TYRA a gal can take!
(Hello randomness, thy name is Lessa..)
January 13th, 2008 at 2:06 am
Ai, dei, somniculusus sum. Quero…quero…sucum cupido.
Nihil habeo. *triste*
Ooo, how to tell if I have borderline personality disorder…shiny.
January 13th, 2008 at 2:06 am
(catches!)
Hiya Hikaru! and just where have YOU been all night?
January 13th, 2008 at 2:08 am
“Your mother is adorable. Seriously. And your back-and-forth with her is hilarious.”
awwwwww - blush - thank ye, suh!
and I ACTUALLY commented on the fact (during the phone call with Lessa) that she had typed DIVE thru (not drive thru) I was just wondering which DIVE she was making out in . . . ’cause wondering (wandering?) minds and all that. Heh
peeks upwards - heyyyyyyyyy we’re getting close, aren’t we? (like that possessive “we” do ya?) heh
January 13th, 2008 at 2:12 am
Heya Mama!
Oooooooooh. I was driving and on the phone and your cell cuts out sometimes - I just decided to play innocent. (grin)
Though.. with the amount of dives around here, there’s plenty to choose from, huh?
And yup - getting there! I think we’ll make it!
January 13th, 2008 at 2:14 am
Sorry, Lessa, family birthday party. Bowling and rampant alcoholism. And cake fights.
*realizes he gets the show at home, doesn’t need to wait for the DVD release*
January 13th, 2008 at 2:17 am
~narrows his eyes with a growl~ Hikaru…
(…by the way, Kaine, why have you randomly switched to Latin?)
January 13th, 2008 at 2:17 am
Ah, well I guess that’s ok, Hikaru. If you brought me some cake. you did bring me some cake right? (bats lashes)
January 13th, 2008 at 2:19 am
Last I saw, my uncle was wearing it…all of it. *pouts because he didn’t get any cake*
Oh, Adri…you know what it does to me when you growl.
January 13th, 2008 at 2:20 am
that’s mah gorlie - all innocent and GIRLY and such - Mama madly cackles and closes window to pretend she is working on a project.
HEY!!! Where’s my cabana boy? I need the palm fronds over here - getting a bit of a matronly heat wave going on over here (’course - the cabana boy might make THAT worse - hahahahah)
January 13th, 2008 at 2:23 am
…Actually, Latin with a bit of portuguese. And because I felt like it (and, next to English, it’s probably the language I’m most fluent in. Followed by portuguese, a bit of Japanese, and some Gaelic. And then all the other bits and pieces. I told you - language geek. Speaking of which…*pokes*)
January 13th, 2008 at 2:24 am
I AM NOT GIRLY! (harumph) Watch it, Mama, or I’ll send the loud one down to live with YOU! Now, SHE’S girly!
HAHAH! You’e forgiven, Hikaru - for the mental picture of your family gathering is amusing.
OH! growling. (swoon!)
January 13th, 2008 at 2:29 am
Am I crazy for wanting 10 kids?
January 13th, 2008 at 2:30 am
cake? Uncles WEARING cake? Now THAT’s a PARTAY!
(not that I would know anything about that!)
January 13th, 2008 at 2:31 am
Lynn, YES.
(Grin)
January 13th, 2008 at 2:32 am
Lynn? Yes. Very, very yes.
But that might just be me. I would sooner eat a small child than babysit one.
January 13th, 2008 at 2:34 am
Er, thank you, Lessa? Well, at least the amusing ones were there. The angry, bitter ones are either in Florida, or from Dad’s family. And 95% of the people there were my uncle’s friends.
And I’d offer you the opportunity to lick the bits of cake splatter off of me, but I have to give Adri first crack…
January 13th, 2008 at 2:35 am
……
HAHAHAHHAHAH.
Ahem. Understandable, of course.
January 13th, 2008 at 2:39 am
Lynn . . . oh, my! 10 kids??? Yes, sweetie, you are slightly cracked! If you REALLY think you want 10 (Lord help us all) first go and rent yourself 10 kids of assorted ages - make sure at LEAST 3 of them are still in various stages of diaperhood/breast milk/soft food eating - rent them for at LEAST a week. If you make it out alive after the SECOND day, dahling, you are MORE than ready for TEN kids.
My best to you - and let me know when the happy events begin - I knit a mean baby sock.
January 13th, 2008 at 2:53 am
*giggles* yay! Slight support!
But seriously, me lovey da baybay’s ^^
I’m naming them all after angel’s! staring with Uriel, The Fire of God~!
January 13th, 2008 at 2:54 am
Well, he’s distracted now. If the frosting starts to go nasty, I’ll let you have it, Lessa. No sense in letting it go to waste…
January 13th, 2008 at 2:56 am
You’re too good to me, Hikaru. (L)
January 13th, 2008 at 2:59 am
Thank the gods I never plan on having kids. Not only do I lack patience, but I can only imagine the names I’d come up with for them. >:3
January 13th, 2008 at 3:03 am
C’mon people, we can hit 400 before I go to bed. Just a few more!
January 13th, 2008 at 3:05 am
rawr!!! :3
January 13th, 2008 at 3:08 am
Sleep is for the weak! (she says again, hiding a yawn)
(distracts self by chasing a bit of icing off Hikaru’s bicep)
January 13th, 2008 at 3:10 am
Bad Lessa…that’s Adri’s bicep icing.
January 13th, 2008 at 3:10 am
Hey!!
Anyone here seen Juno? I saw it, and I thought it was AWESOME!!!
And speaking of movies, has anyone here read the books Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse?
THEY”RE TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!
January 13th, 2008 at 3:14 am
hey, you said he got first CRACK. and trust me, anything near there, he can have. (Grins)
Lynn - haven’t seen Juno yet, have to wait for DVD - but it’s definitely high on my to see list!
January 13th, 2008 at 3:15 am
~peeks out of his safe refuge in Flash~ …I don’t want anything to do with Hikaru’s crack.
January 13th, 2008 at 3:17 am
Fatuus, trepidus vaskattar.
Sadly, I haven’t the patience for most movies. However, I have only recently seen Pan’s Labyrinth, Spirited Away and Sweeney Todd (all FANTASTIC by the way). But yeah. Never even heard of Juno. O.o
January 13th, 2008 at 3:19 am
Juno actually looks pretty good. The comedy is of a type I tend to enjoy. Is it a theater movie, though? No. But, I’d rent it in a heartbeat.
*wants to see Sweeny Todd, but is too busy running from people obsessed with his crack*
January 13th, 2008 at 3:21 am
(Cracks (hahahah) up!) Poor hikaru!
And man, I wanna see Sweeny Todd too! Johnny Depp. raaaaaaaaaawr!
January 13th, 2008 at 3:22 am
Oh, man, Sweeney is AWESOME. NOT for the squeamish (Who knew Tim Burton could do something so graphic?), but awesome nonethless.
…Ai. I just keep getting so distracted by all of Kami’s stories…when I should be working on my Ciceronian style speech. I’m still not sure what to argue, actually. Preferably something that’s not purely opinion, and that wouldn’t get me too riled up…Any suggestions? :3
(Gay marriage and abortion are already taken. I was thinking the Patriot Act, but I’m not sure yet…)
January 13th, 2008 at 3:25 am
Lessa: Punny, real punny missy. Get that one off a cereal box? xD
Kaine: How about the fact that hot dogs come in packs of 10 but buns come in packs of 12?
January 13th, 2008 at 3:29 am
Oh, and…400! *waits for Adri’s kiss*
January 13th, 2008 at 3:31 am
Thank you, Hikaru. I will…certainly take that into consideration. :3;
January 13th, 2008 at 3:33 am
woofness to the hizzle
January 13th, 2008 at 3:34 am
Way to sneak in number 400 there, Hikaru. (L)
January 13th, 2008 at 3:36 am
*brushes himself off* Mkay. I’m done tearing apart my PSP, and before I follow any urges to tear it apart further… I should get two, maybe three hours of sleep to prepare for the morrow.
Kaine? Srsly? I’ll see you soon. Though my body will most likely object violently to the idea, I’ll be there.
G’night everyone, an’ good luck gettin’ there! Already over 400. O.o
January 13th, 2008 at 3:41 am
~kisses Hikaru more for saving him the headache of trying to work and approve comments at the same time than for hitting 400~
…I…have completely missed the conversation thread, haven’t I? ~has no idea why Lynn is talking about…wait, no, I don’t want to know, but that does border on spam…~
January 13th, 2008 at 3:42 am
…I think Arkie might have the right idea. Looks like no work is being done on this speech, after all. Which sucks, cuz I have to deliver it Wednesday. ^-^;
Anyway, g’night, folks. I’ll probably be around at some point tomorrow, procrastinating and praying for a snow day. See you then. :3
January 13th, 2008 at 3:46 am
noooo it got cut off D:
I commented on the Juno movie but it didn’t come out! I’m sorry…
January 13th, 2008 at 3:47 am
Awwwww, he got his kiss. Took him 400 comments, but he got it. (pleased, for some reason (L))
And that’s ok, Adri - I lost the conversation HOURS ago. (grin)
Night Arkie!
January 13th, 2008 at 4:22 am
Gee, I get feeling that kiss distracted ya’ll.
(Sings) Aaalllll byyyyy myyyyyyyy seeeeeeelf…
January 13th, 2008 at 4:25 am
…sorry, we’re on the phone. I’m kind of in a down mood and Hikaru called to cheer me up, so we’re a bit distracted…just not the way you’re thinking.
January 13th, 2008 at 4:25 am
*giggles* aww ^^
I’m sorry Lessa-chan! But i have to go…i’m really sleepy ;-;
but i have my AIM, MSN, and Yahoo somewhere around here if you wanna IM another time or something
*snugglepoofs* sweet dreams and mucho
January 13th, 2008 at 4:27 am
How do you know I wasn’t thinking about a phone call? (adjusts halo)
S’all good. Think it’s just us three - so! you two go talk, because Adri cheered up is a good thing. And I am going to sleep - and you two don’t miss me too much. I’ll be back in the afternoon to help rock the last 90 comments out!
Night! (mwah!)
January 13th, 2008 at 5:23 am
*blushes* What, in front of everyone? *didn’t expect a public kiss*
Night, all!
January 13th, 2008 at 6:46 am
Of course it’s just the weekend that I’m hardly ever on my laptop that there’s 400+ comments T_T
There’s been some serious spamming going on here, maybe I’ll read it all someday =P
Congratulations to all the winners!
January 13th, 2008 at 6:54 am
Good God, have you people been up all night?
also, I never expected asking about pronounciation would start up a while conversation about fish.
Although I am rather fond of fish.
January 13th, 2008 at 7:49 am
Holy crap, everytime I come back there’s a new hundred some odd comments. I wonder how many there will be when I get home from work tonight? ~is sad she always misses the conversations and 00 marks~
January 13th, 2008 at 8:11 am
Wheeee, I’m awake!
…Wait, why in the hells am I awake? *mutters all the way back to bed*
(I, too, am fond of fish. I like looking at them, feeding them, letting them swim around my legs…but I think the fondness stops somewhere before having them for dinner. =/)
January 13th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Good morning group!!!! Just peeking in to see how many before the magic number. I am off until this afternoon - by which time I will likely be # 545 or some such!
Too much fun and CONGRATULATIONS, Adri!!!
January 13th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
I am not so fond of letting fish swim around my legs. It feels weird and I worry they might bite me. I do however like eating them, although I draw the line at kippers. And ling. Ling is a waste of good cooking talents, whatever you do to it it still tastes of nothing. It also has really really freaky eyes. You would definatly not want ling swimming round your legs, in case they touched you with their freaky eyes which are all bulbous and such. Eugh.
January 13th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
…there’s a mental image I needed to wake up to. Bulbous eyes swimming around my legs.
Also, Sihaya, it’s only spam if it’s useless. This has actually been a surprisingly fun, if entirely crackheaded, ongoing conversation. I think I may know far more about my readers than I ever needed or wanted to know, but it’s been enjoyable.
January 13th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Sorry. I can see how waking up to that would be unpleasant.
January 13th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
If I have nightmares, I’m blaming you - and then retaliating by detailing some of my most horrific nightmares just to share the love.
And my subconscious is one fucked-up place.
January 13th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Ah, but is your subconscious more fucked up than mine?
Feel free to share nightmare details, I like dreams. Mine are bizarre. Especially the one involving portacabins and large rucksacks and a dead donkey on a staircase.
January 13th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
…you know, oddly enough, I think I’ve had that one about the dead donkey and the staircase…
Most of my actual waking-up-in-a-cold-sweat nightmares involve a childhood fear that I concocted around age three: The Skinless Ones. My own imagination used to terrify me bloody silly when I was a child, and while as an adult such things are banished with the light of day and it’s been decades since I had trouble going to sleep within sight of an open and unlit doorway, sometimes my dreams like to bring The Skinless Ones to life and send them howling after me through the corridors of my mind.
Of course, usually when I wake up panting and chilled, I fall back asleep within five minutes and dream of roly-poly clown puppies with boinky noses.
…those dreams usually scare me so badly I can’t sleep for days. (I’m kidding.)
January 13th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
*blinks sleepily* Morning, darlings. I miss anything?
…aside from Skinless Ones and Puppies?
January 13th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
O.o;
Riiiight. So.
I totally wouldn’t mind bulbous eyes swimmin’ around mah legs. I mean, preferably, they would be attached to the rest of the fish, but really, it doesn’t matter to me overmuch.
As far as dreams…The only childhood nightmare I ever had was one where my family and I were playing mini-golf in my backyard, and then a mini train comes along the half-wall out back and runs over my beloved teddy bear, Goldie (whom I’ve had since I was two), and leaves in its wake a fuzzy, brown milkshake. I would wake up sobbing from that one every couple of weeks or so as a tiny child.
But yeah, I may be completely paranoid, but I rarely have nightmares. Disturbing dreams, perhaps, but those are more interesting than frightening. :3
Regardless, I totally can’t sleep in a room with the door open. Which makes my room really cold at night, but I deal. >.>;
January 13th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
I’m here again but more than likely I am in the spam bin. But, I’m here that’s all that matters, right?
January 13th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
You’ve had the dream with a dead donkey on a staricase? Did it also involve long corridors with frescoes of angels on the walls and rooms with coloured plasctic hanging from the ceilings?
My nightmare thing isn’t even a thing, it’s sort of a texture. Which I see. And feel. In my sleep. And it’s absoltuly terrifying, and I don’t know why.
When I was little the scariest dream thing was a snake that could bounce. It bounced around on tables a lot.
January 13th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Man, I think I am very glad that i don’t dream. Or - more correctly according the ‘experts’ - I never (or very, very rarely) ‘remember’ dreaming. Nightmares are few and far between and never last in memory long enough for me to put words to the vagueness remembered.
Course, that means I can write about really horrible things like bulbous eyes and puppies to give my readers nightmares and never be affected myself. (g)
January 13th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
The Skinless Ones come only in the darkest moments of night - night so deep and black that the darkness strands you alone in a crowded room, floating in an empty nothing with neither ground nor sky, wall nor warm body to root you in the midst of the terrifying void. Only your breaths, haggard and thin and erratic, and the rough clutch of the blanket in your fingers, textures too sharp, coarse as sandpaper. The stink of your own fear, the roar of the silence in your ears, waiting, straining for any sound, staring into that black emptiness where you know there’s a door, know there are walls blocking things from your sight, things horrific and terrifying, things that may well at that very moment be lurking, waiting to reach their cold, thin fingers through the blackness to trace over the sweat-prickled skin of your cheek…
Don’t blink - even when your eyes are dry and burning from staring, for in that moment of inattention, that’s when they come. Surging up out of the darkness, churning towards you like a locomotive, that dark light at the end of the tunnel growing closer and closer until their twisting limbs, their gleaming and rolling eyes, their wild and gibbering mouths become your world. Slick flesh, devoid of skin, ropey muscles writhing and twisting in inhuman contortions, over-long proportions to an all-too-human body. Men - these were once men, before some horrific nightmare consigned them to this wretched existence, this howling and ravenous state. Perhaps they were once like you, until other Skinless Ones came for them, touched them, ran their hot and lolling tongues over their skin.
Swift as knives they are, moving like puppets, jerky and eerily jointed - puppets brought to sick and unreal life. Their screams gurgle like blood in the throat, mad and gleeful and echoing around the inner walls of the skull, crowding against the brain and tormenting until you’re screaming, too, your voice joining theirs and nearly drowning them out. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to hear when they first start to laugh…laugh and shriek and cackle and babble, some unintelligible tongue of the damned that crawls and chitters in your ears like a living thing as they writhe closer, looming, towering things ringing the bed and blocking all avenue of escape…
It’s always coldest just before you feel their touch.
January 13th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
I’M going to get nightmares about these bulbous eyes if this keeps up, which I suppose is a classic case of being hoisted on my own petard.
Curse my obsessive need to use strange words.
January 13th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
The first time he described the Skinless Ones to me, I thought I was going to get nightmares…
January 13th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayum….. You have a way with words, Adri, m’dear.
now i AM glad I don’t get nightmares!
January 13th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Oh my god I’m definatly going to get nightmares. That’s horrible. You dreamed stuff like that when you were three?
January 13th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
And THAT’S why you’re a writer, Adri. :3
They sound…like tortured little things that I would try to adopt; you wouldn’t believe the things I think are cute (or just so disturbing and creepy that I just want to cuddle it better). ^-^;
Hrm…*takes out sketch pad*
January 13th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
…I don’t think I’d like to cuddle those better. I also have to go to bed now. I don’t want to.
January 13th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
While I don’t like to cuddle freaky things better, I do have a fondness for the scary. Probably from reading classic Steven King before bedtime for years and years. (L)
(He lost his edge after the accident. Sadly.)
January 13th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Cuddle…freaky things…better?
*is a little scared*
January 13th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
*whimpers with my high school blanky* ;-; scawey stowies! D:
January 13th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
hikaru - I could make some lame joke about cuddling adri, but well. That’d be mean! (grin) So I won’t. Though I kinda just did. But um.
Neeeeeeeeever miiiiiiiiiind. There’s noooooooothing to see here! Move along!
January 13th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
I did, Lessa, right before he left to take a nap…
January 13th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Good on ya, Hkaru. And glad he went to take a nap. Naps are good things. I’m much nicer when I’ve had mine, for sure!
ooooooh, only 58 more to go!
January 13th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
I have nightmares almost every night. I wake up 2 or 3 times a night, but I’ve gotten somewhat used to it. Some of them would make excellent stories, some are just of bunch of things my subconsious threw together… I wrote some stuff down for a forum thread somewhere… Let’s see if I can find it…
I’m a child. There’s magic in my blood. An evil mage has caught me because he needs my blood to open a book that will attack the one who opens it, or at least, the one whose blood is used in the sacrifice that opens it.
He and his helper perform the ritual, and the scorpion on the front cover comes to live and grows to be four, maybe five feet long. The mage leaves, laughing, and shuts the door, leaving me and his helper inside.
The scorpion lashes out at me, hitting my left hand. I scream and run for the other end of the room, the mage’s assistant at my heels. There’s a very heavy door here, and while the scorpion starts attacking him, I manage to get it open just wide enough for me to squeeze through. The scorpion jumps and I close the door again.
I hear the scorpion tear the assistant apart while I’m clutching my hand, and I can see the bones, the torn skin and muscle, the sinews, the tendons, and all the while I hear him screaming.
This one is reoccuring:
I live in a town next to a volcano. We have an underground shelter with advanced shields to protect us.
Something goes wrong and the volcano goes off without warning.
Frantically I rally to get everyone inside, but everything goes up in flames around us and only about a fourth of the people make it to the shelters.
While I’m guiding in the last group, I see part of the installation getting overflown, and something short circuits. I know the shields will fail.
Everyone went into the same shelter and it’s overcrowded. I sit right next to one of the shields. I cover a child with my body.
I watch the shield until it’s completely covered in lava, kind of like those aquarium walls. I turn my back to it and close my eyes, holding the child and waiting, until finally, the shields give out.
My nation is at war. I’m a man, I’m the personal bodyguard of the Princess and I’m in love with her but she doesn’t know. We stand on the castle wall and we watch.
Tomorrow, an ambassador of our enemy will come to negotiate peace, or at least a truce. We are afraid.
As soon as the ambassador’s party arrives, things start to go wrong. Unseen assassins run through our halls, killing our men and the ambassador’s men. We investigate frantically, but the treaty is going to blow up in our faces.
Finally, the princess is kidnapped. Her father is heartbroken and we double our efforts.
We find her in the castle’s basement. It’s the ambassador who has betrayed us. He and his men have a nuclear bomb stashed there, and they have somehow tunneled their way up to the throne room, so that the King will see it all happen.
We duel, and I manage to kill him and I rush upward with the princess, hoping beyond hope that we will get far away enough for the bomb not to harm us. We barely make it to the throne room, to her father, when the ambassador orders his men with his last breath.
I throw her to the grouns, shield her with my body, and the bomb goes off and I feel the flesh sear off my bones.
I’m part of a guerilla war.
The country we fight for is one of the last there are. The rest of the world was devoured by a super-nation.
My brother (not one of my real ones) is the best fighter we have, and I’m not half bad myself. I’m a very good spy. Still I get caught, and tortured. My face is cut up and they tear small triangles of my skin away. They beat me up, carve into my lips, pierce my tongue. It’s not fun.
My people manage to extract me, and they find me a safe house. I’m to meet the guy manning it in a giant store, at the comic books. It turns out to be Aranox, my RL boyfriend. I’ve never met him before. I ask him how I look, or at least, I try to, with my lips and tongue ruined. He opens my mouth, smiles and says: “at least they didn’t put an ugly piercing through your tongue.” He puts his arm around me and we walk off.
You can imagine how many times I run to the mirror right after I wake up. I often have ghost pain for a day, sometimes longer.
January 13th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Already down to the last 56. Home stretch, here we come!
*takes illicit pictures of Adri as he sleeps*
January 13th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Wow Sihaya…o.o
I had a dream once, more a night mare..It was very stange, like horror film/John Water’s film
January 13th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Daaaaang, ya’ll have some messed up sleep. (L)
And Hikaru, you WILL be sharing those, yes? (peek)
January 13th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
o.O Holy shit… The Skinless Ones thing is creepy as all hells…
I was sick and missed most of this.
And I had been looking forward to it too…
I get crazy nightmares. But I’m not all that good at describing them. I guess I’ve had them so many times that it’s one of those “Oh yeah and then what always happens happens…”
I remember most if not all of my dreams. The fewest dreams that I have ever remembered in a night is 5, the most is 20.
I’m glad that my parents weren’t in the house for most of the time that I was reading this, cause they didn’t hear me going “Awwwwwww” and cracking up every few posts.
Um… I don’t know what else to say… Being sick sucks…
Adri S. (really not trying to impersonate Adrien, I’ve got the girl’s version of his first name… Adrienne…)
January 13th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
No, Lessa, those are stocked away in my “Rainy Day Fund” for when I need something to get back at him. No sharing…yet.
January 13th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
I knew it would get cut off!! Here’s my comment that got cut off -.-
Wow Sihaya…o.o
I had a dream once, more a night mare..It was very stange, like horror film/John Water’s film
January 13th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Wow, Lynn - what DO you do to get your comments cut off like that all the time? It’s amusing!
450! WHOO!
January 13th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
omfg…it got cut again! i give up! i’m not gonna try and post it anymore!
January 13th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Hikaru - You’re mean! You should share with the class! Didn’t ya mama teach you to bring enough for the whole class??
(sniffles)
January 13th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
I don’t know what I do!! It just happens!! If I knew what happened I wouldn’t do it!
January 13th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
Maybe it’s one of your little smiley thingys.. or accidental tab/space to submit? I dunno either!
January 13th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
*sigh* whateva…it’s fine..hopefully it won’t happen again
January 13th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Here’s hoping. (grin) though it is kinda funny.
Adri S. - hope you feel better soon!
January 13th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Lessa, I never said I was nice. *evil grin*
And I’ll totally share if he acts like a bastard down the road…
January 13th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
This is true, Hikaru. I doooooo like a good evil grin. (wiggles brows)
Sounds like the perfect plan to keep our Adri in line. (L) You know, I got mad photoshop skillz too. We could insure his behaving for a LONG time…
January 13th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
~folds his arms over his chest, staring at Hikaru flatly~ Oh really? Will you, now?
January 13th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Lessa - thank you. It’s making me act like more of a bitch than usual to feel bad…
My iimoto-chan was trying to be nice to me on AIM and I totally just snapped at her some, for no good reason… Bad self…
Me being bitchy really doesn’t need any added boosts…
Adri S.
January 13th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Meep! *hides behind Lessa*
January 13th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
UH OH! Adri’s awake! (replaces halo, smiles angelically)
Adri S: Unfortunately I don’t have an excuse. I’m always a bitch. (grin)
….and I know everyone’s going to laugh at me, but what the hell’s an iimoto-chan?
January 13th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
~bites his tongue on the “iimoto-chan” thing and just keeps glaring at Hikaru and Lessa~ So you two were going to “keep me in line”, eh?
January 13th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
(hides Hikaru, and smiles in the face of The Glare)
Why, Adri, we thought you was sleeping! Did you have a nice nap?
(bats lashes, innocently, of course!)
January 13th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Er, I have no idea what you’re talking about, Adri. Where do you get these vicious lies and innuendo?
January 13th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
~narrows his eyes at Hikaru~ No more kisses for you. And you– ~scowls at Lessa~ I’m redoing the design for your mug in green and orange before I have them ship it out. ~mutters and stalks off in a diva-ish huff…well, not really, but I do have a comic to finish, y’conspiring bastards…honestly, take a nap for two hours and suddenly everyone turns on me!~
January 13th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Lessa: japanese word for little sister, in this case used metaphorically… And I’m pretty bitchy most of the time anyhow, but that was just uncalled for.
Adri: The strange niknames that one gives to friends in middle school that never rub off… It sounds silly to me now too, but it stuck.
And my internet connection fails.
Adri S.
January 13th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
…You people are incredibly silly. ^-^
Uh-oh. People are tryin’ to drag me away from the compy. For dinner, even. Who needs that?
(Of course, I am at a friend’s house, and it IS her birthday…Eh, I’ll see how long I can hold out.)
January 13th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
*raises brow at Adrien* Um…you just kissed me on AIM…did you mean no more kisses on DR, or…
January 13th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
…Apparently not very long. -.- I’ll be back, I hope.
January 13th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Adri S.: I guess I get a little twitchy about the habits English-speakers have of suddenly randomly peppering their language with mis-used Japanese. I suppose in a way it’s flattering to the culture, but at the same time you don’t see anyone deciding that using random Scandinavian or Laotian words makes them sound cool, so why does everyone want to butcher my language?
At the same time…~shrugs~ Eh. To each their own. So I bite my tongue and overlook it. As long as no one sticks “-chan” on the end of my name, as that’s not only improper, it’s disrespectful and insulting.
Hikaru: …not those kind of kisses.
January 13th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
Ah, thanks for the explanation. And I understand how the butchering gets to you, Adri. (chuckles) for me, its not even a different language, it’s our own! It’s people who put an “r’ in the word Wash. Do you SEE an r there? NO! the word is WASH. not WARSH. GOSH.
And there’s different kindsa kissin going on? WHOOO!
Poor Kaine. Forced to go eat dinner and birthday cake. Tsk.
OH! and I like Green and Orange!
January 13th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
*pout* Fine. I guess I need to get used to the lack of PDA when this contest is over. *sigh* Hold me?
January 13th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Adri: If it helps any, I actually took several years of the language. And it is not the only language that I mix into my speech. French gets mixed into my English (or English into my French) far more often. (Though only about half of that is intentional). And I every now and then drop Mandarin Chinese or Latin words into my conversation too. These are all languages that I have studied. I use a few words of Italian too. So it isn’t just Japanese. And I know what honorifics are appropriate to use when…
Adri S.
January 13th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
What, have you all given up on reaching the Big Goal now that you are so very close?
Adri, I promise that no matter how often I read Japanese comics I will *never* randomly pepper my speech with bits of other languages.
January 13th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Hikaru - least you’re GETTING DAs. (grin) some of us don’t get any, public or otherwise!
January 13th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Lessa: I get a little twitchy about that, too, but at the same time I can’t criticize because sometimes I have problems with “w”, “r”, and “l” sounds just because English isn’t my first language. It’s just my most fluent one, but there are tiny lingering hints of an accent and some days if I get going too much, I sound fresh off the boat. Sad thing, though, is that I speak more clearly than some native speakers, so yeah, I can see where that would drive you up the effin’ wall.
Hikaru: I dunno. You had your shots?
Adri S.: You sound a lot like me. Ask Hikaru how much trouble he has understanding me when I really get going; I think in English, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Cajun French, and smatterings of Russian, Italian, and a few other languages…and if I get going too much then I forget to translate everything into English before it comes out of my mouth.
You probably speak better Japanese than I do, though. It’s been over two decades since I could be considered a native speaker, and that’s one reason I avoid using it too much; I don’t want to screw up.
January 13th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
All of them, Adri, all of them.
January 13th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Del - no way! No giving up here! I’m watching that number climb with GLEE!
Adri - what gets me is my sister is the worst offender! I don’t know WHERE she picked that up?! We had the same parents, grew up in the same place, and the child can’t talk without messing it up. Sigh.
January 13th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Sorry for the double post, but Adri is right, Adri S. He’ll also randomly insult me in other languages. Or, he’ll say he’s insulting me, but I never know…he could be confessing his undying love…*dies of laughter*
January 13th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
I have a feeling I’m gonna miss out on winning again even though I’ll be awake this time T.T
January 13th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Lessa: Sounds a bit like one of my sisters. She’s more fluent in Ebonics than anything else. She can turn it on and off…she just chooses not to.
Hikaru: I’ll consider it. I may even give you a lap dance if you’re good and watch the comments filter again while I go finish the comic.
~pauses and reads the new comment~ …puttana.
January 13th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Haha. I think my sister could turn some of it off if she wanted too, but yeah, she’s never tried. I just bite my tongue until she says ‘warsh’ and she KNOWS that gets me started every. single. TIME.
Dammit. See? Lapdances and everything. No one has affection for the Lessa. Of course, it COULD be that a hundred or so comments back I admitted to hating cuddling. Coincidence? Maybe. (grin)
January 13th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Hikaru: Heh, yeah, that sounds sort of like me swearing in French in front of most Americans and in English in front of most Francophones. I of course run into a bit of trouble with people who are also able to understand both languages…
Adri: And to talk about hard to understand… I have a few mild speech impediments: stutter, lisp (why do they make words like that impossible for the people who have them to say? I say stutter stututer or something to that effect and lisp always comes out lithp.) Of course when I am excited and talking quickly, that is when I have the worst time controlling those as well as the mixing of languages…
Adri S.
January 13th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Wait…isn’t that Italian, Adri? Now we’re on to the Romance languages?
January 13th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
My husband was fluent in what we called ‘double dutch’ - something a teacher had taught his gradeschool class in order to learn the concept of syllables. It’s like… er. I dunno, I can’t describe it - but once you learn it, it’s extremely easy and it confuses everyone who doesn’t know it, because they SOUND like real words, but they aren’t exactly and the mind takes some training to wrap around it. It’s like piglatin on crack.
Anyway - he was in his home town for a visit, and he overheard two girls talking about what a cute ass he had - in double dutch. He walked all the way past them, then turned around, gave an exaggerated bow and tip of his hat and said “Thank you very much, you’re cute too” in double dutch back at them - he said they turned about 12 different shades of red as they blushed and ran away.
January 13th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
I’ve tried to learn japanese, and managed to learn how to ask “where’s the pencil?” but forgot how to do even that. Oh well
January 13th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Lessa: Actually, no dinner for me, and I couldn’t eat cake, even if there were any.
And Adri? I. Love. you.
That may sound creepy, but languages are the most fascinating thing I can think of, and I’ll follow anyone who speaks several around like a puppy if I can. If you weren’t so busy, I’d beg you to teach me. All of them. All the time. ;~;
Yeah. I definitely just speak/write in whatever language comes to me first, which may vary from word to word. I’m not really properly fluent in anything but English, though. ._.;
January 13th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
That’s ok, Lynn - I took two years of French is high school, spent a month IN France, and remember NOTHING. *L*
January 13th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Kaine: you’d have loved my French Teacher then - he was a little old Japanese man, who spoke fluent Japanese, English, French, Spanish, and Italian. He spent many years teaching all of the above. When I first met him it was the oddest thing to see him, and hear French coming out of his mouth. (L) He was by far the toughest teacher I ever had, too - I adored him.
January 13th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
heh, i live in a place where spanish is the mother tongue. Brownsville Texas, one of three cities who have a bridge into Mexico into a city. Ours is Matamoros, so yeaaaa ^^ Me no speakey spanish
January 13th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
oh, my - so very, very close. And, HEY!! I just figured out that there really WAS a purpose to this whole post:
“How do you feel about the gay community’s apparent need to have separate events/hangouts/possessions labeled as specifically gay (such as gay cruises, gay cafes, gay etc…)? Do you think it provides a welcome retreat for those of like minds to seek each other out and share things in safety, or do you think it’s unnecessary elitism and isolationism - or does it just not matter? ”
Hmmmm - well, I’ve seen singles cruises, christian cruises, gay cruises, people wanting to get LAID cruises (I think that might fall under singles cruises), etc.
So, I guess it’s whatever floats your boat (harumph! I is SO punny, I is).
Congrats on being so very close
And, Lessa . . . I never LEARNED double dutch so to speak (again with the puns) BUT, I almost ALWAYS knew what you and your hubby were nattering on about - much to his chagrin - and MY delight.
Carry on.
January 13th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Lessa: *wants* I was gonna have a French teacher who’s German, and I was gonna try to persuade her to teach me that as well, but now there’s a course conflict, and I’m taking Programming II instead. >:|
January 13th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
(L) It was easier to pick up then to speak, Mama, for sure. I learned to understand it far better then to speak it, but I got pretty darn fast at that, too. It was helpful for those ADULT talks and convos that we didn’t want the kids to understand. They STILL haven’t picked it up.
Al.
most.
there.
January 13th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
everyone is waiting for that NEXT person to write - so that THEY can be the #500.
Just remember, Adri - I was the LAST one to be “on topic” (lol) AND . . .
I have mooses to trade for the bear.
erm . . . carry on now - come on - who’s gonna be #500??????
January 13th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Wow! I have never seen anything SO EPIC in my entire life. This has to bee the greatest thing ever!!! Not to mention most amusing conversation made of random!!
French is going to be the language that will kill me one day. It’s pretty yet grammar sucks!
Peace, love and chocolate chip cookie dough!
January 13th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Lala - Amen! The whole concept of words being male and female? and the randomness of the way such things were assigned near KILLED me. It’s probably why I blocked the whole thing out…
Of course, i blocked most of my high school years out… it was the 80s, need I say more? (L)
January 13th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
OMGOMGOMGOMG!!! *prays to the gods that I win* I have no money to buy the bear and shirt myself D-:
January 13th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
MOM! I am NOT waiting! And I am not trying to get post 500. Too hard. Or compulsively refreshing. Or anything. COME ON 500! (grin)
Adri - I’m DYING to know what this did to your page views for the weekend.. (L)
January 13th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
oh, no - Lala brought up FOOD!!!
so, tell us, Lessa, just how MUCH you like BACON???? And, I have a link for you - for bacon ceral - seriously - but not so great on the mouth, I’m thinking - basically it’s a pound of bacon fried up, chopped up and put in a bowl with bleu cheese dressing on top (the bacon is the ceral - the dressing is the milk) and bacos on top instead of sugar. All together now,
RETCH!!!
January 13th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
…I…can’t believe the winning comment involved bacon cereal.
January 13th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
BARBARA WINS!!!
January 13th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
501 at least? ;-; not that I’ll win anything, but it’ll feel nice
January 13th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
YOU! YOU! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
You WON, Mama! I missed it by one AGAIN!!! GAH!
(Can I have the clock? pleaaaaaaaase?)
Bacon cereal? Even I might have to pass on that one - just give me the bacon! *L*
January 13th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
*gives Barbara bacon cereal* not even 501..ah well ^^
January 13th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
XD Congrats, Barbara!
And…I will say nothing on the subject of bacon cereal. kthnx.
January 13th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
anyone want to vote for me? I know it’s off topic, and I’m sorry, but I don’t wanna lose T.T Because it’s obvious I party harder! D:
http://www.myyearbook.com/battles/?battleid=4269353
go there and vote pleasseeee ^^
January 13th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
WOW!!! I took off to answer an email and come back to find that BACON wins! Well, Lessa could tell you that bacon ALWAYS wins in her book. Thank you all!
It was too much fun and I am thrilled. Lessa, we’ll talk about the clock. After all, you have a birthday coming, right? Oh, wait - so do I.
Adri - do you want a little moose or a BIG moose? I have all kinds.
January 13th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Oh, totally, Lynn. No question. *votes* :3
Ai, I’m tired. And sick, now, too.
And I have I ever told you how much I hate Macs?
Yeah. I hate Macs. Jus’ so’s ya know.
January 13th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
Yes indeedy - Bacon ALWAYS wins. (grin)
Congrats mama!
January 13th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
is that you Kaine? on myyearbook?
January 13th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
This weekend 500 comments party was PWNED!! Congratulations!!!!!!
Bacon is yummy I’ll agree…but nothing beats cookie dough…in icecream form or not *drools*
I’m looking forward to the comic Adri!
Peace, love and chocolate chip cookie dough!
January 13th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
~peeks out of Photoshop~ Wha? Moose? Huh?
Seriously? You people are so wonderfully batshit insane. I never thought we’d make 100 in a weekend, let alone 500. That…is god damned amazing, and I had a hell of a lot of fun. Thanks for joining in, everyone. (…I’ll ramble about it more when I post the comic, get all emotional, blah blah…well, maybe not.)
January 13th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
I think we could get another hundred or so if everyone wanted to
January 13th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
~laughs~ Oh, man, no. We’ve already done one bonus prize round; my bank account might start whimpering if we do another.
January 13th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
*heavy sigh* I missed it again. Alas and alack for working twenty hour days. Congrats to Barbara for 500, and to Adri for the same! As a reward, I won’t post horrible video on my lj.
February 19th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
[...] really don’t want to know about the rest of it…trust me. It makes the events during the 100/500 comments contest look tame by [...]

I have found that in this day and age that the days of safe sex in any way shape or form are pretty much over.Nowadays condoms no longer prevent a life threatning situation, still transmitting plenty of scary diseases.Online I can find many options that do not run the same risks as playing the field.Being that there is a wide vareiety of online sites to choose from it is hard to decide which one to go with..I as a man tend to go to the ones with the models that I enjoy.
February 2nd, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Outstanding blog. You have won a brand-new regular reader. Please keep up the great work and I look forward to more of your fascinating updates.

I have a small clip from the Paris Hilton video on my blog. To bad it got leeched onto the internet for everyone to watch. She did not want it to be released as it was her ex boyfriend Rick Salomon that released it.
March 10th, 2010 at 11:28 pm
Pretty proficient post. I stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say your information seems legit. Will keep posted. Thanks.

Hi - It’s good to read such topical writing on the Internet as I have been able to discover here. I agree with much of what is written here and I’ll be returning to this site again. Thanks again for posting such great reading material!!
