my most current notebook is finished, i just have to remember to buy a new one - i keep forgetting. maybe i should write myself a note to remind myself .

how silly is it that i'm sitting here, touched that you think i'm cute? i'm not woodsy owl... it's a little early for me to be getting ridiculous already... i was talking with my brother about woodsy, and he said "woodsy is soooo gay. 'give a hoot, be a fruit!'" ok, like, whatever . i'd like to see my brother spin his head a full 360 degrees and hunt his prey in total darkness. besides, compared to smokey, owls are soooo much cooler than bears. we spend way too much time thinking about them laying tirds.

yeah, i think if i started eating peanut butter again i'd probably eat pb & j for 3 meals a day and snacks all over again. and out of the jar really was sooooo good. it's just one of those things, like pringles - once you pop, you (or i, in this case, with peanut butter) can't stop .

bummer about ernest !!! great entertainer - he. but they do still make tab; they sell it at the supermarket by my work (which is in richyville, l.a.). it was marked sketchy back in the day due to the whole "saccharin" thing, when said sugar substitute was linked to cancer in lab rats. y'all may recall the gilda radner sketch in which she and a couple of early 80s style doo wop girls sang a little song about it, rhyming "akron" (as in ohio) to "saccharin." (sad twist, that gilda died of cancer.) anyway, i think it may not have been actually banned just because the risk isn't that high or something... that's just a guess, because i was sure that it had been proven.

naaawwwww. george clooney is not so great to look at, seriously. i don't know who keeps spreading rumors that he gets mad play, 'cause he's just an overgrown, hairy version of pacey from dawson's creek, except that pacey has way more sex appeal . word.

this one is really trite, i know, but it's because it's true. and although it comes way too easily for me (not fun ), some people can't do it to flush things out every once in a while. so here it is: cry. tune in tomorrow.

i am so pissed at the cp search engine. i have never been able to find something i've searched for, even if i knew the title of the thread, or an exact sentence that was written therein. bastards !!!!!!! i wrote about this before, big part of my life . anyway, the summer that i gave it up, i was eating peanut butter and jelly as well as peanut butter on rice cakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. i was also eating peanut butter out of the jar whenever i passed the kitchen or whenever my dad wasn't looking. mind you, i wasn't overweight, my dad just liked to harrass me about it - but he was right; there i was, thinking that i was getting all this protein and yadda yadda yadda, when i never looked at the fat content . and for someone who was really eating as much peanut butter as i was eating, yuck... well, whatever. forget about the statistics. my real point (i know i'm being redundant) is that it was all i was eating that summer. because i was always in a rush to have fun and was on my way out, was really hungry and needed something right away, had the munchies... and i couldn't cook (still can't, really). so i had to give it up cold turkey. and i love the stuff, so i let myself have things that "don't count," like reese's pieces (those are better than the peanut butter cups) every once in a while, and i'm still not even cheating. but i won't go near a peanut butter cookie, 'cause those have real peanut butter in them. lucky for me, though, i never liked those . nine years, this month ...

it's actually the three "r"s : reduce, reuse, and recycle. but you're so right - smokey got much more airtime than woodsy! what's up with that? ok, we're having some serious trouble with forest fires right now, and smokey is in charge of educating the country about them, but in general, forest fires aren't nearly as bad of a global and everyday problem as pollution, rapidly decreasing landfill space (and not recycling!), dumping, etc. woodsy covers it all, yo, while smokey just talks about the flames. i say that woodsy should've been more high profile. i think that smokey just got all the attention because bears have more of a presence, are a more common icon to kids, and are more huggable.

wow ! shrinky-dinks are still around!!! i'd bet that you can't get them in toy stores anymore, though; they are pretty old skool. y'know, coloring on plastic and putting it in the toaster oven. do the kids even have toaster ovens anymore ? colorforms were little playsets that consisted of a cardboard scene with a glossy surface and little restickable vinyl people/objects/animals/whathaveyou that you could rearrange to make different scenarios - all the while talking to yourself, the way only kids can get away with . after a while there wasn't much left you could do that made sense, so you'd put the car on top of the person's head, or make snoopy make out with woodstock, thus creating more hours of merriment from what otherwise would have been the end of a plaything. and i'm pretty sure that play-doh is still around. it'll never go away, like mr. potato head. how could they get rid of that stuff? i still remember the smell - those were the days ...

i think he was up till 6:28, 'cause nobody's that when they wake up; that's "stay up all night talk." * all of this is not to doubt your onehotsexymuthafucka status, joey, it's just to say that your story sounds like a bit of a tall tale ...

i know just what you mean, vic; it makes total sense and is a great way to go about things sometimes , especially when situations aren't too specific . it's funny - those are often the ones that matter the most or harder to make and start off with, i find - the ones that aren't so specific. (i.e. "should i go to school now or take a year off?" v. "should i go to upenn or pennstate?" )

hmmm. well, if you could see me now, you'd probably expect me to throw out something involving the u s of a; i'm wearing the loudest red, white, and blue 70s dress you could ever find, a star necklace, and a red, white and blue bracelet (also with a star) that looks like it could have been from my raver days, but i think i've had it so long - i'm not sure - that i might have made it in day camp as a kid. i also have little holographic stars stuck by my right eye. but no, can't think of anything particularly "american" to say. anyhoodle... here's the column for today: writing things down is more beneficial than one might realize; it is so easy to forget things that it's also easy to not notice that you've forgotten them . so, write things down whenever possible, even if you don't have the perfect notebook in which to write them. an old envelope or receipt will do, as will a hand or thigh . tune in tomorrow.

well, party people, i now have my first avatar ever as of last night. yes, that's woodsy owl . he looks different from how i remembered him, though... does anyone else remember him differently, too? maybe i can find out some more info if i dig further. anyway, the powers that be have changed his motto from "give a hoot, don't pollute!" to "lend a hand, care for the land!" hmmm. i really liked the old one better. maybe it is partly because i'm hardcore into keeping certain old tradtions (i never use self-adhesive stamps and think it's a shame that they have very few that are engraved anymore. how gorgeous those were.), but the old one was clever, too. i mean, c'mon! woodsy wanting us to "hoot" with him is so much better than his just wanting us to do stuff in general and not make owl noises while we do it. whadda y'all think?

well, about the thongs, we can agree to disagree . but i wasn't comparing her natural tan to fake tans. the look itself is unhealthy to me, and makes me think that whoever sports it is no brighter than the light in her compact. i don't understand some people - have they been holding their ears for the last twenty years? skin cancer is very real. why do people intentionally court it? my roommate's uncle had to have his ear removed due to skin cancer, and not because he was a beach bum; it was just his driver's side (left) ear, and he lives in l.a. my left arm is tanner than my right because of driving here in l.a., and i don't even drive that much. i've started wearing sunscreen because i want to stay healthy and still look young while i still am. whoever this model is will look old for her age very soon, just due to her penchant for looking like the color of dirt.

i didn't get to do much at all when there, actually. i was just visiting evergreen state college and i stayed in the dorm there overnight while i checked the place out. the school was pretty cool, too, except for more students being hippies than not - really a very staggering majority.

on the heels of the "how old?" thread... i keep meaning to ask marcid21 how tall she is, as she is a self-proclaimed "pint-sized pip squeak." but how tall are y'all, and how tall do you claim to be on your driver's license (people be lyin' on those shits) ? i'm 5'9 and 3/4", and i told the dmv that i'm 5'10" (supposed to round up. yep.).

how about shrinky dinks and colorforms? well, i'll admit that colorforms weren't all that. maybe i'm just feeling nostalgiac about them. but shrinky-dinks were the shit.

sorry we're doin' the sweet thang to ya, vic, but you know ya love it ... and the peanut butter thing comes up for me, ya know... even though i gave up the real stuff in '93, i still let myself have some phony peanut butter things - if they're phony enough to not really count as peanut butter. for instance, reese's peanut butter cups are ok. but a friend of mine brought some fudge his mom made to a party in 2000, and i reached for a flavor that was tan, thinking it'd be vanilla. i took a bite, though, and although i liked it, i was very disturbed by the fact that i couldn't identify the flavor; it seemed like something was very wrong with the picture somehow. i then realized it was peanut butter and spit it out . and nourishment, i wish i could do the cherry stem thing, too. maybe i'll get a jar of maraschinos for my next day off .

thanks, vic! and gmc, when i was in seventh grade i used to practice on my knee .

thanks so much, gmc; i'll miss ya over the holiday! i have to work and all that whatnot . and woodstock is as patriotic a place as any to be for the fourth. as joni mitchell said, by the time we got to woodstock we were half a million strong and everywhere there was song and celebration and i dreamed i saw the bombers riding shotgun in the sky and they were turning into butterflies above our nation...

hmmm. i'm trying to figure out if you were up till 6:28 or if you woke up at 6:28 ...

late again - technical difficulties... many humble apologies. when you seek out advice from your own inner sage and he/she keeps giving you the same words of wisdom on a particular situation, it is generally not a coincidence. learning to listen to this more objectively observant and emotionally removed (and therefore less easily blinded) part of you will help you make better decisions. tune in tomorrow.

i give the first girl a 5, which is a very generous rating from me, considering that i find women with fake breasts repulsive without exception . and i wouldn't want to give her a grade that would hurt her already seriously low self-esteem as it is. i'm sure she must've had nice breasts before, though. *the only case in which i excuse plastic surgery in this region is for reconstructive surgery after a mascectomy or other disfiguring incident, or if women need breast reductions due to back pain or other health problems, etc., etc.

funny - i'm listening to brazilian music right now ! anycrap, i think thongs are really gross. at first i used to just be grossed out by the thought of giving oneself an intentional wedgie for a whole day - which i still don't understand. but after seeing pics of girls in thongs from behind, i think they look really nasty, too. bare asses look much better. and the later pics in this thread of this girl show her with thong tan lines . if you're gonna pose naked, try to stay the same color throughout, otherwise you look kinda dumb, in my opinion.

malanee, i've been to olympia and it is gorgeous. lush and green... i saw a rainbow when i was there, and i was only there for 2 days . did someone say l.a. ?
