Daisy | 1803 comments Oh good, I'm not alone.


message 452: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments oh definitely not alone. i'm going to the store to buy supplies and popsicles.


message 453: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) I hate biting popsicles, I even hate other people biting them. Gives me shivers, not good shivers. Bad shivers. Same with icecream. Suck and lick, don't bite. It's wrong. (Ice creams and popsicles Henry and Paul.)


message 454: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments i tend to suck and lick until it starts to fall apart then you kind of have to take it all in your mouth and if its too big you can't help but biting it.

i just had a big stick, this was definitely the case.

again, popsicles, not something else. (andy)


message 455: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) Well, then it's okay, it's when they open it and just bite down. **Shivers** The thought just makes me cringe. Kurt does it just to bug me. He bites icecream too, really big bites. Once he pissed me off so much doing that (I was a tad irritable) that I shoved the whole cone up his nose and all over his face.

Then he kissed me and rubbed it all over my face and in my hair and I was angrier because he made me laugh. Ain't love grand?


message 456: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments love is awesome. ok so i bought these dora explorer popsicles cause they were on sale. yeah i couldn't suck them have to bite them. the one i grabbed was crecent moon shaped, there is no comfortable way to suck that it just feels weird. sorry renee.


message 457: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments the wae shaped popsicles fit nicely in your mouth they dont require biting.

yes i have had three popsicles now, they are my dinner and only 130 calories for all three. don't judge me its hot.


message 458: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments thanks henry... or should i say my long distance latin lover.
i kid.


message 459: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) What is a 'tittle'? Dare I ask?

Daisy | 1803 comments lol Henry I need meds and a coke

but Henry I highly doubt you need meds quite as much as I do. Without them I tend to lack in impulse control, and if it's a really bad day I'll spin and walk around in circles until my friends sit me somewhere and then I start babbling and like sit there shaking

i'm glad that in indefinite article (a) coke was there, i got nervous for a second, and then i was going to say that explains the incessant spinning.


message 462: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) You're supposed to balance those things? I just hide mine in a drawer and pretend it doesn't exist.


message 463: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments so i haven't written anything today but i did do my reading assignment for english 1, now i have to write a three page essay for that class, woohoo, and do my other reading assignments.

totally unrelated to school, i went on lulu and published population control the screenplay that i had up in my writing on here, i deleted everything after the first 9 chapters, so that people can come and get a better feel for the book then the 7 page sample they give on lulu. thank you to everyone who read it and gave me feedback, i definitely used your notes and they should be reflected in the book/screenplay. i did not however dive deeper into the internal life of the characters as some people suggested because then it starts to become more of a poorly formatted novel then a screenplay, atleast in my opinion.

so yeah, i guess that's it. haven't written much but went and published myself. totally random.


message 464: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments OK I die right now... i just searched for my book on amazon to make sure i did it right, yeah my books not on there but you can buy my episode of yo mamma on mtv, and one of my jokes is in the preview clip of my episode, and whats funny to me is that, yeah they got the cities backward, i was from the el segundo crew and they labeled me as the northridge crew, whatever its kind of hilarious. here's the link.

message 465: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) That's awesome Lauren, a dirty q-tip, love it.


message 466: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments thanks honey.


message 467: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments ok off to school then, singing maybe?, then subway bring home lunch for the hubby, back to school, then home for a photo shoot, then to the dance studio to teach two classes.


message 468: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments So we have to write a poem about how we see ourselves, or how the world sees us or how we would like to be seen for my creative writing class, so i wrote a haiku, a sonnet and a free verse poem for the single poem assignment, i think i am just going to end up turning them all in. oh well. whatever. maybe that should be my poem about the evolution of a poem. anyway 340 words for the three poems.


message 469: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) I haven't written a darn thing today, had to wait until everything settled here and the babies left. Well, I got about twenty minutes of quiet and then people started calling and kids were fighting and where was Daddy? Where was the man who said 'I'll watch them, you go ahead and spend the next three hours writing or whatever.' (that's what he said, I'm going to do 'whatever' next time) Well, he was sleeping!! Sleeping. A hurricane tossing him around and dropping him in the ocean wouldn't wake up this man. So, I am just settling in now and I'm so tired. Maybe I'll go to bed, and get up early to write.

Guess what...between the hours of 9am and 3pm...there is no one here but me and my dogs. (and the cat and the ferret.) Isn't that awesome? I'm not answering the phone or the door. Nope. Don't care who it is. Not answering. I may nap even. I may crank up the 80s music and dance around the house. I may just sit at my computer and write and edit.


message 470: by Lauren (last edited Sep 02, 2009 07:05PM) (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments i don't know why i got an image of tom cruise in a white button down with white briefs and white tube socks gliding in your kitchen, while you are at your computer and you pop up like angela landsbury in murder she wrote, whenever she realizes somethings amiss, and you slowly turn your head and cock it to the side as he pulls you from the computer and you start dancing.


message 471: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) I frigging wish. He may be too short for me, but rumor has it he digs tall chicks with freakishly long necks. So, he would totally be into me.

Maybe I'll do something like that tomorrow, not Tom Cruise, but the Risky Business reenactment. Sadly, I do not think the shirt exists that is long enough to cover me. I also have a freakishly long torso to match my neck.


message 472: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments ok so i have a story for you, when i was working on war of the worlds, he grabbed my butt.

dakota kept staring at me it was creepy, and then like a year later she was a guest at an improv birthday party that i was working. it was very random, she was on stage with us pretending to be a bell, and i was entertaining her. i told her she was a very good bell, i don't think she was expecting that response.

oh, we always start the shows out by getting the kids ready to make suggestions, and we start by asking simple questions like what is your favorite color, what's your favorite movie, etc, etc.

and all these kids kept saying, charlotte's web and after the second kid said that, i asked if it was the cartoon or the one with dakota fanning, and the kid said, the one with dakota fanning, yeah the kid i asked was dakota fanning... i love that she was a guest at this party but had everyone trained to promote her new movie, this dates when this party was.

ok full on rambling, back to homework.


message 473: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) I am so jealous. Tom Cruise grabbed your butt. Some day, Clive Owen is going to grab my butt. Or at the very least, look at it, or walk by it. It's a dream I have.


message 474: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments trust me way less creepy if clive did it.

i was just standing there and he wanted to pass me so he moved me, by my ass.


message 475: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) Hmmm...interesting. Clive could move me by whatever part he wanted. I would put up a token struggle, just so he wouldn't think I was easy. Wait, I want him to think that. Honestly I'd probably pass out. Maybe he knows CPR.


message 476: by Wendy (new)

Wendy (wendyswore) Lauren, I think there are some girls who would never wash their jeans again because... flutter flutter.. TOM touched them! Squeeeeeel!!

And CLive Owen- who is that? what is he in?


message 477: by Paul (new)

Paul Sin City and King Arthur to name two.


message 478: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) Who is Clive Owen? Oh my I'm nearly in fits here. You are missing out Wendy. He is fine, and you know how I like accents. Some day I'm going to marry him, or just whatever. It's okay, Kurt is fine with it. We have an understanding.


message 479: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0654110/

here wendy that's his imdb page.

yeah, i think it would be different if he was say looking at me or talking to me and we had some semblance of an exchange rather than he just put his hand on my butt and moved me. that was awkward.

not as awkward and the 6'4" 300 lb black guy who scooped me up on the stairs of the port-a-poties on the set of a music video because and i quote, "i was too bootyful to have to walk." i just told him to put me down and went on my way.... awkward.


message 480: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) Oh Lauren I'm all a flutter with my unreliable stomach and nasty headache. That just made me feel a tiny bit better today. I haven't seen Shoot Em Up or whatever the title is, I didn't pay much attention to anything but Clive. I plan to, kurt's been picking movies lately though.


message 481: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments um. shoot em up is so good, we own it.

he kills people 7 different ways with a carrot
i think thats the number we counted once.

not really kid friendly, but definitely mother approved. well, mother f... er.


message 482: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) With a carrot? I love it. I'm so renting it. Maybe this weekend, after the kids are in bed.


message 483: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments yeah, its brilliant, oh and he hates rude people, he steals a guys car because he parks in a handicapped space.


message 484: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) A man after my own heart. I actually told a man off this weekend for parking in a 'maternal' spot. It's meant for pregnant women and new moms. That's why it's closer to the building. So that women ready to drop a baby aren't traipsing a mile across the parking lot, and mom's with babies aren't carring them too far in bad weather.

Anyway, Kurt walked away like he didn't know me. I was like "Excuse me sir, when are you due?"
He told me to &^%$ off. I asked him how he planned to improve that language when the baby arrived.

He told me to mind my own business and of course I had to reply. I said, "It kind of is my business because due to people like you taking the parking spots, one of only five at this store, reserved for pregnant women, I had to walk from the other side of the lot to get to the store. My back ached, my bladder nearly burst and I saw some arrogant prick with no wife, no kids even, pulling out of the spot that should have been mine." THen I went in and told the store guy that a man had taken a reserved spot. And that he told me to &^%$ off. I didn't tell him the rest. Then an announcement came over the PA later saying "Would the owner of the (car make here) licence plate #....please move your vehicle or it will be towed."
Kurt made me leave. he was worried the guy would come looking for us. Chicken shit.


message 485: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments thats kind of awesome.


message 486: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) You should see me when someone takes a handicap spot, it ain't pretty. That's worse in my opinion, and I'd be happy to provide them with a reason to use the spot.


message 487: by Wendy (new)

Wendy (wendyswore) the only one of those movies I've seen was the Bourne Identity and he didn't hardly talk in it- so that would explain it. :)


And you rock Renee!


message 488: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) Thank you, thank you very much. I do what I can. Kurt is always mad at me for a bit, but then he sees the funny side. There's always a funny side, and he warns me that should it get physical, I'm on my own. I say no problem honey, I'd do better without your help anyway. I got my own back.

You really should see the other movies, Clive is amazing. Even if he just stood there staring at the camera, I'd watch a whole two hours of that.


message 489: by Wendy (new)

Wendy (wendyswore) okay so, which of the clive movies is the coolest? Which one is he the best in and makes your heart go pitter patter?


message 490: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments for all the wrong reasons for me, shoot em' up, he and paul giamatti, it's messed up and brilliant. it's campy and smart and makes fun of itself, which i always appreciate.


message 491: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments oh technically i wrote it today since it was after midnight. 750 words on my paper about my family.


message 492: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) I liked Sin City and the one with Jennifer Aniston, what was that called. The first one I saw that made me want to see more was Arthur.


message 493: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments i just entered a scholarship competition where you had to write three short essay responses to questions, no more than 500 words, so i guess i just wrote 1000 words between the three questions i didnt save them because it was depressing.


message 494: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments ok so mercury goes retrograde in two days, but i always get screwed before it turns. i got home, got in my pjs was going over our budget, and went to reach for my wallet, and its missing. i search my backpack, search my house, search my car and realize I must have left it at work, 33 miles away in LA. so i have drive to la, find my wallet and drive home. i just ate a popsicle and my hubby just walked through the door, and puked so that's exciting. yeah, i hate retrograde.


message 495: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) So it's Mercury's fault that I'm sick? Dirty bugger.


message 496: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments yeah, its lame. not going to lie.


message 497: by Renee (new)

Renee (rjmiller) Stupid Mercury and it's need to go into retrograde. Needs to stay put if you ask me. Making everyone sick and wierd, just rude.

I cut the grass and now I think I'm going to die. Seriously, really not good. Stupid me not leaving things alone. It was so long though, really long. I had to go over it twice.


message 498: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments 659 words for the on fiction thingy. i don't know why everything i write is either 500-1000 words or 90 pages.


message 499: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments i would just like to say that i hate middle english... that's all, this homework is taking way too long. i have to finish analyzing two characters from the prologue, read the wife of bath's story and write a paragraph about how she views men. then i have to get to kevin starr's book and read, analyze and absorb that. his chapters are 30+ pages, talk about long winded, and they tend to be very redundant.

can i go back to sleep please and wake up yesterday so i could have gotten more done. jeff is at the beach with a good friend of ours that i haven't seen in months while im stuck at home doing homework and ranting on here.


message 500: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stone (laurenreads) | 502 comments i got my submission up to 1000 words exactly so 1000-659= 341 words and an edit. ok now i need to have other people read it to see if they get it, jeff didn't get it the first time around, but then again i made him wake up to read it. oh well. yeah, first completed draft of my submission done, not bad considering the ridiculous amount of homework i did this weekend. still have two chapters to read but they aren't due til friday so i'm still good.
hope everyone has a good night and or day. i'm passing out.
