Spring 2010 Choose Your Own Adventure Shebang
I loved the Middle of the Night Shebang Gretchen gave me, so I want to do this one. What's the theme?

Jackie, I apologize now for including not one, but two songs with children's choirs (sorta). Was that you? Someone said they don't like that. I think it was you.
I'm so confused. What's the theme again?
Youndy, your theme shall be "What's the theme again?" :)I'm in. The theme came pretty quickly to me (it's a surprise). I've been tinkering with a playlist for a couple of weeks now.
Welcome to TC Janet. Thanks for jumping in.
Youndy, make your mix whatever you want it to be.
I still play Gretchen's mix quite a bit. A bunch of those songs are on heavy rotation on my iPod.

So, basically, my theme will be "I'm so confused!" :-) Sounds about right.

She often sort of bursts loudly through the door, blurts out something random, walks past you without saying "hi", then proceeds to the kitchen and starts putting away your dishes or takes your kid upstairs and changes her into pajamas. One minute she's not there, the next minute she is and you don't know how you survived without her. I believe it's a method developed to overcome shyness.
(There's your psych eval. for the day, Jannie.)
Everyone, this is Janet. Janet, this is Everyone.
I thought I heard pots and pans rattling in the kitchen.
I think I saw her in the TC bathroom helping Gene fold towels and asking how his mother's doing.
Haha! Gretchen, I wish I could argue with you but that pretty much sums me up. Hello, everyone.
Hello Janet. Can you rustle me up a grilled cheese while you're in the kitchen?
Sure, would you like a grown up one or kid one?
Moderator, are we still on? Moderator? Hello? HELLO?
Yes! I'm in a meeting, let me solidify details later today...thanks for the reminder...
Mod
Pshaw. Careful or I'll delegate this to you, slacker!
Mod
Nah-nayah. I can't be delegated to. I might give birth all over the shebangs.
I was in a meeting earlier, but I was actually teaching when I posted #129. Yay group work!
Anybody know if I was in or out on this one? I can't remember. I'm kinda busy right now, but I honor my commitments. Unless it's due this week. When is it due? I kinda forgot to scroll down to this thread for a long time.
Don't know, Sarah. I think you can be in if you want to, it still seems like we're in the signing up stage. Maybe the moderator could post of list of those in, so we can see how many copies to make. Ahem!I still want to know when the shebangs are due? When, RA, when???
Mod
RA's in Chicago today, so this is a good time to make a power grab, if anyone wants to. :)
Ooh...unless you're gonna step to the plate, Sallers, that's just wrong...I'n sorry, this has been a very busy week...I'm actually writing from a McDonalds parking lot in Chicago before picking someone up in the airport. I'm gonna say May first for the due date...but if someone could compile a list of who's in by reading through the thread, I would be most appreciative, I'd be most appreciative, or else you're going to have to wait until tomorrow for a list. Writing while learning over the front seat is kind of a pain in the ass.
I could compile the list, RA.
Thanks, librarian. I'm now parked outside a bar waiting for my friend Bob.Wireless signals are everywhere.
Spring Shebang participants:1. RA (right? I'm assuming, as moderator that you're in, RA)
2. Gretchen (overachieving early finisher)
3. Jackie
4. Gus (excellent shebanger)
5. Sarah Pi (was in from the beginning)
6. Clark (unconfirmed extremely opinionated music fan)
7. Zen (who is already ready already)
8. Youndyc
9. Heidi (has her playlist ready)
10. Misha
11. Janet
The shebangs are due May 1st. Make ten copies, and send to RA with a self-addressed stamped envelope to return your shebangs back to you in.
Thanks...when you're ready, people, message me for my address...
Mod
As a non-participant I was just observing the constant calls for regulation on this shebanging process. Didn't mean to squish your moderator ego.
Was that supposed to be funny, too? Just keep me posted, Sally...I really don't have a moderator ego here to be squished. No one else stepped so I said I would...no sweat, we've worked it out before over time when we're not sure who's in, etc. This is supposed to be fun, you know? It's quickly becoming less so...I don't want to argue about shebangs...
Mod
I'm really tired, Sally, it's probably not you...
I didn't. But I guess that's because it was directed at me, I felt, on a day when I was tired and was trying to facilitate the shebang because people seem interested and I felt criticized in a snotty, sarcastic way on something that's supposed to be fun and laid-back. And I know we can't hear tone of voice, etc. in these scenarios. And now I feel like I have to defend myself and people are going to pick sides on something that's really fucking stupid and more indicative, probably, of something to do with my exhaustion and Sally's getting ready to give birth. Not fun. I'm pulling out of this shebang...I don't mean to be dramatic, but not fun.
I love both of you. Can't make me pick sides, so there. *tries to hug both Sally and RA at the same time, but can't because Sally's too big right now, hugs one at a time*
I'll help, Jackie. With the hug, I mean.
I volunteer to take over shebang duties. As it stands right now, make nine copies, and send them to me along with a self-addressed prepostaged mailer.I moved recently, so please message me if you are participating, and I'll message back my current address.
When are they due?
