I'm sorry. *:(

Thanks gals.

I feel really odd right now.

make what?

make what?
Castelles.

Here's a challenge for you:
Find me your favorite picture of Shannon or the picture of her you think is the prettiest. I'll explain later.

She's too good for Castelles, anyway.

Good Goddard. This might take some time...

What's Castelles?

I'll go look for a pic....

I found it! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v165/little_teapot/weghwergh.bmp)* This is the perfect picture!

I found it! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v165/little_teapot/weghwergh.bmp) This is the perfect picture!


LOL! What was that from?

Shhh. Don't say anything about it! I'll tell you all later.

I found it! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v165/little_teapot/weghwergh.bmp)* This is the perfect picture!
I said Shannon not Maggie.* I'm printing out 4815162342 LOST pictures for my room.* I think I shall save that picture though simply because I have braces.

Star, a drill team thing.

I don't care--it's still the perfect picture. It raises my self-esteem a bit.

I don't care--it's still the perfect picture.* It raises my self-esteem a bit.
It does the same for me, but I still want you to find me a Shannon picture.

Looking....Looking.....

This will take forever. *You may have to wait until tomorrow.

Just so long as I get a few.

I saw that movie! It's from Murder in Greenwich. Maggie was so good in that. It made me happy because she had braces, and she still looked amazing.

These are all really good pics. I can't choose just one.

That's my favorite Shannon pictures. I think you have to be registered at that site to view it though, so I don't know if you'll be able to see it. I just like it, because her hair is pulled back, and I love that, and she looks so etheral by the fire!

I've been registered there for a while. I'd like to say that great minds think alike, I already printed out that picture. :)

Chica, thank you! I just adore those pictures.

Nicholee sorry about the drill team. I'm still looking for a picture.

Thanks, but I'm just not caring anymore really. *shrugs*

I was reading through some of my posts from a few weeks ago and something interesting happened. It was in a thread where the poster(who I know from various fandoms and tend not to get a long with) didn't use any punctuation at all. So I said something like "No offense intended because I don't mean to be rude, but punctuation is your friend." Said poster made it into a huge deal and said I was "jumping down" her throat. It basically turned into a "Let's bash Nicholee because she asked me to use punctuation" thread.

I made you something! ;D

I can't wait to see it!

Hope you like it, Nicholee. *:)

Nicholee, I have a solution! I'll make it my avie on my LJ and you can just save it from there.* ;D

Edited: Nevermind...it was too big. :(

aww.

try uploading it to imageshack.us

Mmk, I'm very disturbed by some of the most popular ones but I loaded the avie. Here ya go!

http://img251.echo.cx/img251/1660/shannonavatar9oy.gif

:) I love it. The only thing though, how come you used pictures of Maggie out of character and put "Shannon" on the side? Anyways when I'm not being lazy I'm going to go set it as my avie. Thank you so much! *hugs*

You're welcome! I put pics of Maggie with Shannon on the side because I wanted to. lol Two of those pics were new so I wanted to use those. I don't know why but I didn't like how 'Maggie' looked on the side. Weird...I know. I don't how to explain it.

:lol2: OK. :)

It's probably a good thing I didn't make Castelles.

1)Like my cousin said when I told her months ago that I was going to tryout, I don't fit in with those girls. That's not the type of girl I am.
2)It would cutdown on my Fuse time.
3)I would end up missing episodes of LOST.

What kind of girls are they?

It would really suck to miss Lost. :P

Girls I wouldn't fit in with. Girls who act fake. Girls who have even lower selfesteem than I do and as a result makefun of other people. Castelles is their life. Girls who are not me. Also, the way I act offline is the exact same way I act on-line so I think you can tell what kind of girl I am.

Fake girls are stupid. lol You're not fake and that's good!

Fake girls are stupid. lol* You're not fake and that's good!
Yes they are and no I'm not. If I don't like someone I won't pretend to be their friend and then turn around and talk about them behind their back. I'll just straight up tell them I don't like them or whatever it is about them I don't like.

Maybe it is a good thing that you didn't make it, but I'm sure it still feels like crap. I hate when you put your all into something, and you end up getting nothing out of it. But missing episodes of Lost! I couldn't deal with that! ;D So I was looking at the Lost calender, and I found something that scared me. The season finale is a day before we leave to go to Scotland. If Lost came on on Thursdays, I wouldn't have got to watch it. It made me sad. But thank God it's the day before.

Maybe it is a good thing that you didn't make it, but I'm sure it still feels like crap.
No, not really. *shrugs*

Speaking of the LOST finale, that's my last day of school. Also, originally we were going to leave for Reno that day but my brother was in that car wreck so we aren't going anymore. It's odd though, when I found out the finale was May 25th I kept saying to my mom "Please don't tell me that's when we're going!" and now we're not. :-\

Nicholee, I'n so sorry hon that you didn't make Castelles.

From what you've said on here though, I don't think you would have got on very well with the other girls though - you're too soft hearted.

I know it hurts though when you don't make something you have worked hard for.

{{{{hugs}}}} :-*

Thanks Nic. *hugs*

So I had a field trip today and in true Shannon style I had on my fab Louis Vuitton sunglasses and this really cool hat. On the bus a bunch of people told me they liked my hat and sunglasses and then at the park(we also went there) someone told me they liked my sunglasses and my friend Nicole was joking around and say "Yea, they're Louis Vuitton. Something you'll never be able to afford". The girl took her seriously though. :-\

Thanks Nic.* *hugs*

Was the "offended" girl one of your friends? Cause if she is then it wouldn't be a big deal. But if it wasn't.... I would kinda be offended too.

I would have taken it seriously.* Whether she meant it flippantly or not, it's still a really mean thing to say.* I feel bad for you if you were embarrassed.

No, but it was obvious that Nicole was joking by her tone of voice and she even said she was joking. *:-\

Bus rides suck.

Malee, I actually was kind of embarrassed because I had already told her not to say anything at all like that. I also hate it when people mention things about my sunglasses being something that's all expensive when I only paid $13 for them, I also told that girl that. I yelled at my friend. I really think I need new friends. My group of friends is basically falling apart. :'(

My group of friends is basically falling apart.* :'(


Ugh, me too. Some people that used to be really good friends of mine are people who I don't really like anymore. Like my one friend, she's extremely racist but denies it and she always ignores me. And my other friend that I've known forever is having a party next weekend that I wasn't invited to and wasn't even supposed to know about. Obviously she doesn't care too much to be my friend.

You definitely need new friends, Nicholee.

*hugs* I'm sorry, hun. :'(

Malee, yes I do. Of my original group of close friends from the beginning of the year it appears that only myself and Nicole are left. First Rebecca stabbed me in the back. Then Kayla well, I don't know. She just stopped liking me for no reason. Now it appears that Beverlee(my cousin) has chosen Kayla over myself and Nicole even though we never even put her in a position to take sides seeing as how she is the one who decided she was going to stop talking to Kayla. Last week she told her to never even look at her again and then today she was hiding with her from myself and Nicole. Oh and Nicole is supposed to be her bestfriend. *le sigh* Too much stupid drama.

Wow, that's lame. I love the girls at my school. They're all such sweethearts. I don't think they could do a mean thing if they wanted to because they're all just so sweet.

That sucks. Teen drama sucks. *hugs* back.

Well, we'll always be here fro ya!

The girls at my school are total b****es. *A lot of them do really slutty things and then call me a slut. *Even though I've never even made out with a guy and they are no longer virgins.

They're the reason why there will always be a glass ceiling (Please, don't ask me what I mean by "glass ceiling" if you're a female because I'll just be reminded of how sad our generation is...).

Just try to ignore them. They suck.

Then again, who am I to give advice? ::)

I'm not good at the whole ignoring thing. I'm guessing that's why I get into so many fights.

Glass ceiling, glass house.

Friends come and go. It sucks but it happens. I'm just very grateful to have my friends. I've been friends with one of them (Misha) for about 12 years. I've been friends with Gigi for 7 years. Them two, my other friends, Rebecca and Shana, all hung out during high school. After graduation, Shana and Rebecca kinda went off on their own and haven't talked to the other two in a while. I'm still real good friends with all of them, though.

The girls at my former school were pretty cool. I never had any drama with them so that's good. Everyone got along.

Nicholee sadly I think what you're going through happens to most girls. I had 2 girlfriends in high school who totally screwed me over. One of them had sex w/ my boyfriend at the time (because I wouldn't have sex w/ him) and another one just freaked out on me one day and said she hated me, and I did nothing to her, I always defended her against everyone who hated her. Then of course there were other friends of mine who would stab each other in the back, etc. Luckily though I'm out of that High School drama, and I have my friends who I know will be my friends forever and most of them are guys. But my best girlfriend and I have been friends since we were kids and my best friend is a guy who I've been friends with since the age of 3.

I've never even had a best friend. I don't get along with girls too well. I never have. Since I was little most of my friends have been guys.

I've never gotten along well with guys.* I always treat them in a very condescending manner--like we're an old married couple.

Mal, a group of hungry vegans just ate my Grass Buddy and now I have no crack to feed my cat! What do I do!?!?! :o

* I always treat them in a very condescending manner--like we're an old married couple.
That's how I get on with some guys.

'Phelia, do you wish to join N.A.I.L.S.?

You mean the National Association of Illegal Llamas Society? Swweeeet!

Llamas are evil.

You know what's sad? I own a bunch of skirts but I never wear them because I hate my legs.

Llamas ate my cat. >:(

I'm scared of llamas.

Shannon once ate Llama in a Paris cafe...she thought it was snail

I wondered when someone outside of N.A.I.L.S. would post in here. Ophelia is special as she is the first to do so.

"Tina you fat piece of lard...come get some ham!" <-- My favorite quote directed toward a llama.

On the topic of having best friends as guys, I just seem to get along better with guys. My best friend since I moved here is a guy called Brandon. He's African American, and a football player who does Drama. We met through Theatre, and have been duet partners. I love him to death. He knows things about me, that most guys wouldn't want to know. We're like brother and sister. But we live in Texas, and I'm sad to say that some people shoot us dirty looks, or whisper as we walk arm and arm (he's like my escort...teehee!) down the halls. Racism sucks!

I hate racism.

Being fluffy isn't very Shannon-y. :-\

Racism sucks!


That it does. My friend is racist and every time she says something bad or rude about African Americans, (or more commonly, Latinos) I just want to SCREAM at her. Like I said before, she's not really a great friend of mine anymore.

My grandma doesn't realize that she's Hispanic. :-\

My grandma watches Lost. How cool is that? Grandparents who watch Lost. I can not get over the greatness of this.

My grandma's political beliefs clash with mine.* Yucky, icky, and gross!

My grandma watches Lost. How cool is that? Grandparents who watch Lost. I can not get over the greatness of this.
So does mine.

Malee, same here.

Lost hasn't reached Scotland yet, but I'm making my Gran watch it in August!

I wish I had Shannon for a shopping buddy.

Racism DOES suck. I'm glad I don't know anyone like that, though.

I love Josh Groban.

I listen to the song, "You Raise Me Up," almost everyday. It's so good! I love him! (Even though he looks like a hobbit.)

I just converted my on line buddy to the ways of Josh.

My mom would love you, Nicholee. She loves Josh, too. So does her friend and my aunt.

;D

Josh is going to have my babies.

Ophelia posted!!!!!!! :o

Sweet! Where? I want to read it! She is like so awesome, you know, and so smart. She is highly educated in the ways of the llama, ya know. She even knows llama karate, a rare and highly objective form of the martial arts... 8)

I know, I know

Shes like, "Joowatcha! Wakananna doo!"
Its wicked sweet... ;D

They would be beautiful babies!

If I had babies with Josh Holloway, I'd die before childbirth because I just did it with Josh Holloway! Go me!

:lol2:

ahem... What does N.A.I.L.S. stand for???

Not Ashamed I Like Shannon.

We have a group in the LOST group section, but we come to chit chat here and talk about Shannon in the group thread.

I've been very busy and not very Shannon-y recently.

Just to add to the previous conversation, I don't usually get along with girls as well as guys. I don't deal well with drama or fake-ness, and I usually just walk away.

I have been making more female friends though with time.

Don't get me wrong, I love hanging out with my girls. But sometimes they are just so dramatic. I have one friend who is totally pre crash Shannon. She makes me so angry sometimes. So sometimes, guys are just the easy choice. Walking away is a very good idea WS....I need to do that. I usually become the middle (wo)man in my friend's fights.

I need to learn to do that.* I always end up yelling at everybody or slapping them etc.

:-* I missed you.

Let's face it, all girls can be bossy. Oh wait, I was referring to my 6 year old. hehe!! No, seriously, some girls can be terrible to hang with. Guys are all laid back and don't care. hehe!! It's great!!

I <3 my guy friends, but I <3 my few girlfriends too, I just think girls are backstabbers most of the time, that's why you have to be picky about who you choose as friends

It's so true too. It's odd.

naborG is awesome (http://www.thefuselage.com/threaded/index.php?topic=14960.0)

Edited because I'm an idiot.

Could you guys let me know if you play the help/hurt games?

I found my Shannon-y earrings! I'm so happy.

I can't find my black skirt. :(

I see the character boards are split into sections now, one board for the actor, one for things in support of the character and one for where people can share what they don't like about a character. It looks pretty nice to me.

I love that! I guess it was because the bashers and supporters kept getting into fights and stuff..... So now they each have their own section! It's also great because often times people post stuff about the actor in the character board and it just gets a little cluttered. It's much more organized now. :)

I found my black skirt. :)

I'm going dress shopping today.

Ok, so about your dress....


Is it like for a dance, or a wedding, or just cause you want one....?

Have fun Nicholee!

Ok, so about your dress....


Is it like for a dance, or a wedding, or just cause you want one....?
A dance.

All of you lovely ladies should help give me some ideas for my dress and shoes.* :)

Thanks Star, I will.

ETA- The dress is a for a formal dance and it has to have straps. :(

A dance.

All of you lovely ladies should help give me some ideas for my dress and shoes.* :)

Thanks Star, I will.


Um, well I don't know what looks good on you but I, personally like halter dresses... or something with straps. I don't really like long-sleeved dresses (and since it's April in New Mexico you probably wouldn't want one of those anyways) but something with small sleeves or straps would be cute. Just my opinion. :)

I hate long sleeves in general.

I had a dress, but it was strapless. So I have to take it back. :( It was perfect too. I'm probably going to end up buying another black dress.

Well I don't know how formal is formal at this dance, but....

I'd go with spaghetti straps...I don't know if you want a long or short dress.....but I love black and maybe get something with a small amount of beadwork and maybe have a small open back.

What about black with pink trim? :o You could have like a black dress with a little pink on it, and then maybe accessorize with pink jewelry and shoes.

Sorry, I'm getting a little too into this.

Black would make you look too thin. Go with red or black with a pale pink trim.

Black is my favorite.....

I am to understand that Nicholee has a petite frame.* Black is slimming, and I don't think she wants to look like a stick.

I guess it's sort of semi-formal. *Not sure really. *

I'll probably get a dress that has a spaghetti straps or that is a halter dress thing. *I don't like long dresses. *Either short or medium length.

The guidelines for the attire:
-Long or short dresses are appropriate (not too short)
-Spaghetti straps and thin straps are acceptable as long as proper foundations are worn. (no bra straps showing)
-No low necklines
-No backless dresses*
-Pantsuits and skort outfits are acceptable
-No shorts
-No jeans
-No jogging suits
-No capri pants
-No strapless dresses

*-My teachers said that it can have a small open back to it as long as it's not too low.

Malee, that's a really good suggestion.

;D

I try to help out where I can.

Which is why you are loved.

Should I get a tiered dress?

Ok, you are a very attractive girl, so you need something simple and elegant, so that the attention is wehre it should be - your face - anthing too bright or fancy will draw the attention away and look like you are trying harder than you need to.

I see you in something with thin straps, knee length, slim fitting, in black which you accessorise with silver strappy stilletoes, a thick silver bangle, some long thin dangly silver earrings that just touch your shoulders, and a slim clutch purse in silver.

Or is it just that I would like to see myself with somewhere to go that I could wear that to?

Mal is right though, with your colouring you can wear Black or red and look fantastic! Red would work too, but I just see the accessories as having to be silver. Nothing fancy or ornate, just plain polished silver...

I like the idea of black with a light pink trim, that would be pretty. As Uk_girl said.....something simple because you are attractive and the attention should be on you not just your dress.

Nic, that sounds perfect. Which is what I want it to be. I have a little over a month until the dance, but like I said, I want it to be perfect so I'm preparing in advance. I'm going to try and find a dress that has a silver trim so that it will match the silver accessories. If I can't find anything like that I'll go for a black dress with light pink trim. If I do that I already have the perfect shoes to go with the dress.

Thank you all so much for your help! :-*

I wonder if I'll have a date for the dance.

Of course you'll get a date silly.....a guy would be crazy not to ask you out!

I think it's dumb that you're not allowed to wear anything that's strapless. I mean, wearing a tube top is one thing, but wearing a strapless formal dress that has been tailored is something else entirely.

You should flip through some dress websites for ideas. I like to look in expensive stores for ideas, and then go to smaller stores to find what I want.

Strapless dresses lead to corruption, dontcha know. I swear to Goddard, people are such fascists. You can't show your shoulders! It's indecent!

Yea I think that rule is stupid. *I remember in our school we couldn't wear tank tops that were less than 3 fingers wide because some guy might get turned on by our shoulder and rape us ::). *I wore a strapless prom dress when we weren't supposed to but it's not like I got in trouble or couldn't come in. *It was tasteful and I got a lot of compliments from the teachers who made the rules haha.

I don't wear strapless dresses because, I, uh, have boobs and I hate the squished look--it makes me look like I have backfat.

But I don't think strapless dresses are inherently evil. Such annoyance!

It's like they're trying to teach girls to be more self-conscious, like they need such a thing. Don't wear strapless dresses, or you will tempt the uncontrollable and unruly boys!

I have boobs too....which made me a little uncomfortable during Prom but my dress was super tight so nothing was going to fall out. Luckily though after cornation we changed out of our dresses because we went to an all night party lock-in thing.

I wonder if I'll have a date for the dance.


You will! Some super-hot boy is gonna ask you and then when he sees you in your dress, he's gonna drop dead. *:lol2:

(That didn't sound as nice as it was supposed to.... But you know what I mean.)

We have very strict rules concerning the dress code at my school. *Some teachers think it's ridiculous and some are Nazis about it.

At my school we have to wear uniforms but every once and a while we have "dress down days" where we can wear "normal" clothes and for our tank tops we have a four finger rule. *pouts*

If we wear strapless dresses we will get thrown out of the dance.

Chica, *:lol2:

I have had a really shitty day at work today...the topping on a really shitty week to be honest. *:(

Does anyone fancy letting me talk about it for a while and get some advice?

We have very strict rules concerning the dress code at my school. *Some teachers think it's ridiculous and some are Nazis about it.


High Schools seem like they are run by the Nazi's. I swear it is a prison until you are let out at the end of the day.

Of course, Nic. Talk away.

We didn't have a dress code in my high school. I wore whatever I wanted.

Talk away, sometimes I'm good with advice depending on the subject.....all the other girls here are as well.

Go ahead Nic and talk away. We're all here to listen, and give advice!

I had a crap week too by the way...I am so looking forward to the weekend.

Thanks WS

Some of you will maybe remember that I told you I was having problems with a guy in my office. *He was generally harrassing me and refusing to leave me alone, constant texts etc. *Well it got so bad that eventually I told my boss about it, and he told me to send this guy a text, telling him to leave me alone, not to text me anymore, and that I wanted to keep our relationship strictly professional. *he also asked me if i wanted him to pull this guy in for a telling off. *I said no, as I was new and didn't want to be seen to be causing waves. *I sent the text though and for a couple of days this guy blatantly ignored me totally.

After the ignoring wore off though, he has been making really catty, nasty sarcastic remarks constantly, both to me and to my other collegues about me, but making it obvious that he is talking about me if you know what I mean. *This has been going on for a few weeks now. *During this week, my boss asked me how it was going, and I told him how things were at this time. *Again he asked me if i would let him pull this guy in to tell him off, and I said no, as I felt bad about getting him into trouble and also that the other guys might think I was making trouble. *Today I just had as much as I could take from him though and ended up in tears. *I feel really angry that I let him destroy me so badly that I cried, and I feel that all the fun I was getting out of the job has been taken away from me by this guys constant nastiness.

I finally told someone else in the office as he came down to see if I was ok, and I obviously wasn't as I was crying and shaking. *They want me to tell my boss to pull him in, but i still cant help feeling that I would be hated by the othre guys if I did that, for 'breaking the code' or whatever, as I am 100% certain this guy will make damn sure that everyone knows that I got him into trouble. *He will most likely say he has only been joking, which he hasn't. *The things he has said have been meant to hurt and they do. *It's just stuff about me and my ability to do my job, calling me useless in not so many words etc. *Saying things like if I became teamn leader that everyone would leave...stuff like that.

How do you think I should deal with it. *I can't stand the thought of being hated by the other guys for causing trouble, but i cant stand the thought of going into work and crying again because of his bitchiness. *:'(

I'd talk to your boss and let him do whatever he has to do. If you tell the other guys that it's not your fault and that he was harassing you then maybe they will understand. You are there to do your job and if this guy can't accept you and treat you decently because you didn't want a relationship with him then too bad for him. He needs to grow up and stop being so immature, and if he has to get introuble by your boss then so be it...let him live and learn a little from his immaturity and mistakes. I'm sure if he gets in trouble the other guys won't say anything in fear they might get in trouble if they do. I'm sure if you talk to them and show them you are a nice person, etc. they would get along with you fine...

If it mean that you can stop this harrasment, and you being upset, then I would have the boss talk to him. This isn't going to stop, unless this guy knows that you are the one in control. The more that you let him get away with it, the more he is going to keep doing it.

I am so sorry this had to happen to you Nic!

Tell the boss. Let the boss take care of it.

I take the fact that one of the guys came down to check on you as a good sign. Sometimes three can be rough patches, but, over time, I'm sure the others will see that this guy was just being a jerk. Of course, if he's being such a jerk to you, I doubt it's the first or the last time he's acted like this. I wouldn't be surprised if your other coworkers didn't already know about it.

You should not let yourself be victimized. This is not your fault. Your boss should have already taken care of it. This is his responsibility. By asking you, he's putting you on the spot, which is not right. Of course you don't want to rock the boat.

Thanks to those of you who gave advice. It really has been getting me down so badly.

I'm usually a pretty strong person on the outside and don't let people see when they have hurt me. I usually put a smile on and act like it's ok, but this has really been depressing me. I'm still learning my job and I feel that I cant ask for help any more because if I do he will make a smart mouth comment like telling one of the other guys that "at least you're not the most stupid person in the office any more" - implying that I am now. Today when he upset me and I was fighting back tears, one of the other guys in the office said "hey don't get upset in the office, it's not allowed" to try and cheer me up. This guy who has been horrible just walked past me and said "well I shouldn't laugh in the office but I do" and just smirked at me.

Just before we left work today, he said to the guy that I have just changed desks near to, "you'd better watch what you say or you'll get into trouble". I know thatdoesn't sound like much but it really is one comment after another. When either my boss or the team leader is in earshot, he can't be nice enough to me, but as soon as there is nobody around, he starts with the digs and the comments to other people about me.

I feel that this morning was his last chance because he knew he upset me really badly, and the next comment he makes I am going to go straight to my boss and say I have had enough and I want him to talk to him. The thing I just don't get is that he has a girlfriend, and I have no idea why he was harrassing me in the first place.

He is a bully though as he makes unkind comments to the others too, but not anything near as many as he makes to me. The really crazy thing is that he himself was a victim of this sort of nastiness when he first started there by another guy in the office doing the same thing to him, so he knows how bad it feels. My boss had to sort it out for him. All I know is that I cant keep on allowing him to make me feel like crap and like I am worse than useless. I find myself apologising all the time, and being absolutely petrified of making a mistake and giving him even more ammunition.

I would tell your boss to talk to him, even though that guy will probably end up denying everything.

Wow, that guys is really immature.

Well, I am really not a good advice-giver but I'm going to go with the rest of these ladies and say that you should tell your boss. I think that would be the best thing to do. And if that doesn't help and it only gets worse....I'm thinking maybe, just maybe you should get a new job, where you can at least be happy.

I would tell your boss to talk to him, even though that guy will probably end up denying everything.


Oh, I am sure that he will. *He will probably claim victimisation from me to all the other guys in the office, sort of a "she doesn't like me" *type thing. (It's true, I don't like him, I hate the sight of him now, but only because of all the crap he's been putting me through one way or another since I started there). *Which is another thing that has been putting me off letting my boss talk to him as well. *However, I didn't go from having him practically stalking me only to put up with this!

I may even pull him out of the office next time he does it to me, and ask him what the hell his problem is, and then tell him that if it doesn't stop there and then that I will be telling our boss.

I would try that first. Definitely.

Wow, my allergies are killing me.

My allergies are really bad too. What are you taking? I'm on neoclarityn, and three different homeopathic remedies, Euphrasia, Silicea and Sodium Chloride and something.

My allergies manifest themselves by constant sneezing, I mean constant too, sometimes over 100 times a day, always over 50 times. Blocked up nose yet still runny enough to fill a bath, and frequently I get itchy eyes too.

I am allergic to dust, my cat, and have perennial hay fever. Perfume and aftershave sets it off, as do furniture polish, air fresheners etc, and the fruit and veg section in supermarkets :-\

Lurky McLurker, please come out!

I haven't taken anything for my allergies yet. I'll probably take some Claritin. My throat is sore, my nose is runny and itchy, my eyes are itchy, and I can't stop sneezing!

I can't stop drinking Crystal Light iced tea, either. There must be something addictive in it.

I don't usually get allergies. But I woke up this morning, and my throat was red raw. I think I may just be getting the flu though.

Has anyone see the movie, "Rules of Attraction." Is it any good?

*hugs Nic*
I'm sorry hun. I would do as they said and tell your boss.

Grrrr...I hate allergies. It's been real windy here and that makes it worse. Claritin is my friend.

Is it May yet?

Nope...8 more days. OH YEAH! I forgot. lol My birthday is coming up.

When's your birthday?

I think I know who I might go to the dance with.

I wish we had a school Dance coming up. But they're all in the past now.

Who are you going with?

Hopefully I'll go with this boy Xavier. He would probaby be the perfect guy for me to go with.* We get along really well, he's good looking, nice, funny, etc etc.* I get the feeling that if I asked him to go with me he would say yes.* We have this flirty history together, he's kissed me in the past, and he's admitted to liking me before.

ETA- He is also one of the only people who can eat more pizza than I can.

*sigh* School dances. I haven't been to one since homecoming my freshman year (I'm a senior). Actually, I've been to the band dances, but those don't really count. I'm going to prom this year, though, with a group because no guys asked me. It's rather sad, really.

How do you know that someone isn't going to ask you?

I've got the movie. It's very weird in places. Ian looks hotter than hell though and the bed scene with Ian in his boxers is great *drool*

I'm sitting here, it's around 6:30 in the morning, I have half of my hair in a French braid, and my allergies are a mess.

I haven't been to a dance since the middle of seventh grade. I don't like our school dances.

I used school dances in high school as an excuse to hang out . . . but not at the dance. I shouldn't be giving you guys ideas though . . .

I liked the formal dances. It was just the music in the cafeteria ones that bored me.

::) Yes, because we'd never think to use that excuse.

I'm going shopping Sunday. Yes.

I used school dances in high school as an excuse to hang out


I've been to all but two of the dances at my school and that's all I've ever done. Well except this one time.

School dances are fun, but murder on the feet! I love heels as much as the next person, but not dancing around in them.

I watched "Rules of Attraction" last night. You are so right Nic...weird in places, but Ian was so adorable. Especially when he was in the snow. I just wanted to take him home with me.

Look what I made:

Those avies = greatness

Those are so lovely Nicholee! You're really good with Photoshop

You are so amazing Nicholee. I think you should have your own Photoshop Shrine. Those avies are brill.

Hello ladies! How are we all today?



Nicholee, I have never in my life come across someone who possesses the avatar-making talent that you have. :)

How do you know that someone isn't going to ask you?


Tuchè (or however you spell that word). It's a little less than a month to the prom. I asked a guy last week, but he's not even going, so I guess that kind of killed my spirits. Come to think of it, my freshman year homecoming, when I went with a date, I didn't even get asked until the week before. So, I suppose you're right, Nicholee. There's still hope in there somewhere.

I'm always right. ;D

I hope I get asked to the social.

I need a life. I am sitting at home eating Ramen noodles and watching...get this...Power Rangers. le sigh...I need a man in my life.

^ :lol2: I think that is the funniest post I've ever read.....Power Ranges, wow those were the days.

sorry to invade your little village here but i saw power rangers and i had to respond ;) i loved that show... the original... very funny stuff... we used to watch that in first period when i was in high school... not DURING class mind you, but up until the announcements... good times

Are you spying on us? ;)

I used to watch Power Ranges in like 3rd grade I guess? I'm not ashamed to admit that. I used to pretend I was the Pink Ranger as well...nifty.

Solidstealth is always spying on us, he can't get enough of our estrogen :lol2:

yeah, it's the pheremones and the aura of feminine wiles that draws me ;) i can't help it, it's like a dog whistle hehe

Locke's dog whistle works better on pregnant Aussies than dogs.

yeah, it's the pheremones and the aura of feminine wiles that draws me* ;)* i can't help it, it's like a dog whistle hehe


I know, men are all the same....

:ermm: i could say the same about women

solidstealth- I love your icon! I just stared at it for the past 5 minutes. It made me happy.

Have any of you guys seen Closer? If so, how is it?

thanks, i'm alternating between icons... i think you would've gotten a kick out of the other one, that is if you hadn't seen it already... it was Carlton Banks from fresh prince doing his patented Tom Jones dance ;D

YES! I watched that one for quite a while too. Carlton...what a character. He was the best. Fresh Prince rocked!

:ermm: i could say the same about women


But I wouldn't recommend it.* You ARE surrounded by women right now, you know. ::) ;D

Yes! Women with very nice nails...that are long and good for poking!

hehe, see!! why is it that women want to be mean to me and poke me with their long nails ;) :)

Well, I think there's this tiny little chance that you bring it upon yourself...(please see your other post regarding women).* ;)

ahem, that was in reply to a post about men ::) :lol2:

Guys are cute so they can be forgiven.

That I can agree with.* Besides, we really do love you, solidstealth, so I suppose we can spare you from the pokage. ;) ;D

I'm a General American!

That I can agree with.* Besides, we really do love you, solidstealth, so I suppose we can spare you from the pokage.* ;) ;D


hehe, thanks ;) and solid loves the n.a.i.l.s. too! ;D

Solid should join N.A.I.LS.

I think Shannon would like to go to one of my mother's parties.

The sex toy parties?

Yes, I think she's enjoy them.* They're really not as outrageous as they seem.

What exactly goes on at one of these parties?

I'll update my LJ about what goes on at them.* This is a "family" board.

I updated my LJ today with 72ish icons. :)

Solid should join N.A.I.LS.


i would, but i never post in there so that'd be unfair as far as membership :-\ i wouldn't mind being a welcome visitor from time to time though :)

I'll update my LJ about what goes on at them.* This is a "family" board.
Hurry up!

Solid should join N.A.I.L.S. and get a pretty polish color.

Well, I'm probably going to go to sleep shortly.* Maybe tomorrow?

Alright. I'm going to go watch movies soon anyways. I'm just really curious.

Which movies did you see? I just saw Rules of Attraction.

I watched that last night Aurora!

I just watched "Closer" tonight. Which was a little strange, but good none the less.

lol That's awesome!

Closer....I LOVE that movie. It's great. ;D

It was soo good. A little confusing at times, but good. It wasn't as naughty as I thought it would be.

I still haven't watched any movies...

I need to buy Closer. What part was confusing to you?

I own closer, it is a great flick!

I thought Closer was ok. The end kinda disturbed me.

I haven't seen Closer.* I'm not much of a movie person.* I mean, there are tons of movies that I'd love to see but I never get around to seeing them.

That's how I was until I joined Blockbuster.com. Now I'm getting caught up on all sorts of movies, as well as season 1 of Alias.

My friend works as Blockbuster, but when you can't drive...* :-\

If I could drive this wouldn't be a problem.

Err, no. Blockbuster.com is like Netflix. I don't actually have to go anywhere. The movies just show up in my mailbox. It's amazing.

You do need a credit card though.

Sorry, my allergies are getting to me.

I don't like getting anything off of the internet. I like to get it right as I see it.

But movies are pretty standardized.

I don't like to buy clothes over the internet.

I won't even buy a DVD boxset over the internet, even though it's much cheaper.* I have to go to the store and feel it in my grasp.

Today is going to be a no good, very bad day.

Why is today going to be so bad?

I'm going away again this week.

I just have a feeling that it's going to be a bad day.

Then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

WS, I have just worked through the first season of Alias and am nearly finished the second season.

Great series!

I am going shopping today, lovely NAILSers!* Envy me!

:-*

I do envy you Malee! I want to go shopping, but I'm all congested. But I did get a new TV Guide with a Lost poster. And it has the best pictures on it. So envy me!

Good morning everyone (or afternoon, evening, take your pick.)



I am going shopping today, lovely NAILSers! Envy me!

:-*


I do envy you! Shopping is like, my favorite thing ever! ;) Have fun!

I pick morning.

I want to go shopping. How much do you want to bet I'll end up going to the movies with my mom today?

I want to go shopping.* How much do you want to bet I'll end up going to the movies with my mom today?


Hey, movies are cool. What movie do you think you'll probably end up seeing?

No clue. My mom wants to see Beauty Shop.

I loved Beauty Shop. It was so funny!

Don't envy me, I have a lot of school work to do today >:(

I still haven't seen Sin City.* *pouts*

I just did my nails while watching Alias. Fun!

I still need to go get a re-base.

Sin City roooocks. *You must go see it ASAP

Nicholee, did you make my Boone avi yet? Just wondering....take your time. :)

I watched "Spellbound" this weekend. It is a documentary about teenagers in the national spelling bee. It oddly drew me in.

None of these kids were very Shannon-y. That was unfortunate. There's no rule against being smart and prissy, but that's the way it seems to work.

No sorry. *I procrastinate too much to even do that!

No sorry. I procrastinate too much to even do that!



That's ok. You don't even have to make me one if you don't want to. I'm just getting kinda bored of this one (which is also awesome by the way!)

I want to though. I'm just lazy. I forgot what you want it to look like.

Ok. Actually there's a specific picture I would like you to use but I have to go now so I'll look for it later, ok?

My allergies and cramps killed me.* I only got a few things today.* I'm too ill for school tomorrow.

My allergies and cramps killed me.


Thank Goddard for modern science.

Thank Goddard indeed!

I must say, Alavert is very tasty before it goes all mushy.

I know it's just a TV show, but I'd love to see Shannon (or any of the other women, but Shannon especially) say that she doesn't feel like doing something because she has cramps.

Same here. I was just thinking about that today. They really need to get the girls together a little more on the show, IMHO.

Esecially since all the women should be in sync by now. ::)

If I was stranded on Mystery Frickin' Craphole Island, I'd probably be dead by now.

If I were there, I'd have organized everyone by now.

I can only imagine my mother on MFCI* ::) .

Ha. MFCI. :)

Too much pain for such long words.

Someone is lurking!* *:o

There is no one lurking now. I think you scared him/her away.

It says this at the top for me:* theG and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.

It says 0 and 0 for me. (I'm not even up there.) I wonder if it's broken.

Anyway, guests are good. Didn't you just go on a tirade about how people should lurk before joining? I lurked for months before posting.

I didn't say the lurker should post--I merely mentioned the presence of he/she.

If you refresh the window, it should show the details.

I'm not coherent right now.

Now it says you and 0 guests. I refreshed and it said me and 0 guests. *shrug*
