i think youre still cute.
You have always loved ice cream. As a child, you longed for ice cream at every meal. You became defined by the love for this ice cream. You ate lots of it, but dreamt about it even more. Whipped cream, nuts, cherries, sprinkles, the endless varieties of ice cream made your life a sparkly wonderland. Til one day you decide that you don't like ice...

Trust me, as soon as the military allows comfy, cotton, slippers while in uniform, I'm gonna be all over that jazz. Until then, I'm just going to have to take the risk of lacing, and tying my boots every morning.

Hey... I kind of figured out you meant rockfish... rocks, aside from being too crunchy, are not that tasty... Anyway, I don't know about your area, but you can buy rockfish (whole, or fillets) in grocery stores around here. Or you can go fishing... they're not usually that hard to catch. Although they're a bit dangerous... covered with spikes and so on:
It wasn't an especially green day here... but my ancestors were Scottish, not Irish, so I guess that's okay. How about you? Any green beer?
Edited to add: Personally, I'm quite happy wearing utilitarian underwear all the time, but would be very happy to see the ones you posted on you...

recently, my car orgasms when it reaches 65 to 70 mph. it shivers, sputters and shakes, sometimes it even thunderously rattles. this scares me, so i usually stay at a safe 55 to 60 mph on the highway (which is a ridiculously snail-like pace 'round here). i am confined to the left-most (the slow granny) lane because if i don't the drivers in other vehicles...

I've never heard of any method of detoxifying anemones... but then, I've never looked, either.... if I come across something, I'll let you know... but don't hold your breath!!

Well, I was lucky enough to find a ticket online and whatnot. So GO ME! 
went to st.george, utah for the weekend. vegas is just a little over an hour away, so we drove to LAS airport (instead of flying out of SGU) but ended up stuck in mind-bogglingly slooooow traffic because of the dumb nascar event. (we almost missed the flight. anyways, we ended up getting there in time, and went through security surprisingly fast...but we were bumped twice...

It's wildflower season here, which only comes once a year for a month or so, so the branching out is on hold for now. Can't let those orchids escape unphotographed! One of my all-time favourite photos is of a Calypso orchid... I got this one more or less by accident (I was still new to photography, and was just playing with the camera's features), so I'm hoping to get an even better one this year.
But I'll be trying other stuff as well...

I knew this is somewhat tardy, but I couldn't resist jumping in here.
One of the guys I work with and I got into a discussion recently about how a sport should be defined (in fact the discussion started with his declaration that NASCAR and stock car racing shouldn't be classed as a sport). Now, I'm no nascar freak (hardly even a fan), though I will partake in a race once in a while. In any event, the conclusion we came to was that a sport should be defined as any activity that involves objective, direct competition (as opposed to, say American Idol, where contest standings are based on subjective opinion), and entials some form of physical exertion _or_ a measure of physical skill.
Under those definitions, NASCAR is definitely a sport: It requires physical exertion, and results are not subject to opinion. In fact golf qualifies as a sport as well, in that there is a measure of physical skill involved, and again, results are not subject to opinion.
For comparison purposes, chess wouldn't qualify, in that while the results of any one match aren't subject to opinion, there are absolutely no physical skills needed to play the game (if there were, a computer wouldn't be able to play it without the aid of some robotic appendages or some-such).
In any event, I just thought I'd throw my $0.02 in.

religion is about as significant as hair color.
no matter what non-sense you believe, there is one essential truth: give 'em love, and they'll love you too. i dated a nazarene guy, a jewish guy, an atheist, a catholic, an agnostic, a presbyterian and now i'm with a great feller who happens to be mormon. and bill o'reilly is a jehovah's witness (apparently, there is...

I wonder what it would be like if people got to choose their skin color?
There can be many benefits to a spiritual practice, regardless of whether it takes the form of religion or not. People who have a spiritual practice have been shown to live longer and have fewer health problems. I think people are entitled to practice the faith of their choice as long as it brings peace and wisdom to them. It should improve quality of life, not oppress those who think differently.
I'm really happy that I live in a place where I can be an agnostic buddhist and not be persecuted.
Of course, I could worship a potato if I placed enough faith in it. Cynicism doesn't keep me warm at night...

If I could choose my skil color it would be a sort of brown, maybe like Halle Berry. Of course, this would only be if racism didn't exist. Racism makes me like my lily-white pinky-grey skin, because I get to avoid discrimination. But in a world without hate, I'd go for Halle Berry skin. Or I'd just go for Halle Berry, with or without discrimination (if some bigot came up to me and said he/she didn't like race mixing, I coul say back "Fuck you, I'm dating Halle Berry. HALLE BERRY!!!").
Anyway.
Anyway.

Golden Girls sucks.
Babies are cute enough, sure. It's funny and even endearing when they burp, fart, and salivate. They giggle and it makes me giggle. They laugh, then I laugh. They smile, I smile. They cry, and I cry, oh boy do I cry. They scream, and I must restrain my scream...There are so many people in my life who are all having babies now - one...

I worked as a chimneysweep in Chicago. They said all of us were insured, as we walked around on 3-story icy rooftops in Chicago. Turned out they were lying.
tadzi:
well, even if someone isnt stuck in that stupid mindset, i just dont see how it can work...even a mature 18 year old has a completely different way of thinking that a 26 year old. and that view will change many times in the next few years. her life hasnt even started yet. it would be doomed to be short term.

Anyway, details of specific scenes aside, I think it's a great book. Hope you agree, now or later or both...
