So, I went out to dinner with my friends tonight and we played the 'Porn Star Name Game'. You know the game, where you figure out what your name would be if you were a porn star. You take the name of the first pet you ever had followed by the name of the street you grew up on.

And it totally works! My ex...

So, I put up a 'wishlist'. If any of you creepy internet perverts ( wink confused ) want to buy me anything, thats your prerogative (hey delusion, remember when we ignored class and tried to figure out how the hell to spell that word?). BUT, mostly I put up the wishlist for you guys, because the shite is cool shite, and my friends make it, and...

When I was 9 my mother died, suddenly and unexpectedly, in the middle of the night. (Well, maybe not so unexpectedly, but thats another story altogether). In the middle of the night, I lost everything and my entire world changed. In the middle of the night.

Years later, as a pre teen, I began to develope a fear of the night. Of the dark and...

Were dinosaurs primarily warm blooded or cold blooded? That is the only thing I think right now, as I have been reading it for 9 HOURS STRAIGHT!!!

mqx:
Primarily is the key. I don't think any of the current experts think it was an all or nothing thing.

Some of the carnivores (dromeosaurs especially) would have almost had to have been warm blooded to keep up the activity level. The predator/prey ratios suggest warm blooded.

Some of the larger types (like the sauropods) may have had some kind of mass homeothermy going on... warm themselves up in the sun, then it takes hours and hours to cool down... a kind of fake warm bloodedness.

Comparing them to reptiles is a little misleading. Linnaean systeming isn't that accurate, and they were classified in the 19th century based on a scattering of bones.

Using Cladograms, we can set them in a group that lay eggs or give birth on land, then narrow that so that they are on a path with reptiles, then branch off to Sauria (crocs, pterosaurs, dinosaurs, and birds), then dinosauria (common ancestors to dinos and birds), etc.

But you prolly already know all this, so I ain't helping too much, am I? biggrin
mqx:
Actually, I'm all kinds of nerd... smile

Short answer is, back in the mid 80s or so I read a book called Riddle of the Dinosaur (John Wilford) on the train to Disneyland 'cause I was bored. It described deinonychus as hopping around on one foot, holding onto prey while kicking the crap out of it; and all the childhood dinosaur love that little boys have, was reopened. One of my email addresses is dnnychus, actually, speaking of nerds.

That lead to Horner, Bakker, etc., and now I read dino books and Stephen Jay Gould as a... hobby, I guess. I've heard Jack Horner lecture twice (tyrannosaur as scavenger, which rules by the way) and got him to autograph a copy of Dinosaur Lives for me.

Hey Knockout... thanks for the e-props on the make up thread... I didn't even notice if it was for girls or you know, THE girls. I feel stupid now! I guess I just got so excited at how beautiful people are when they aren't building atmosphere with makeup and hair and lighting and stuff (not that I don't appreciate that, cuz I do). I think you are so drop dead gorgeous, and the fact that you use colour in ways other than makeup is like the best icing on the cutest cake.

that sounds soooo cute. i think i will look like a homely little troll next to you but i am all for that idea. we are a dynamic duo indeed. also, big things went down today. call me.

i failed my class. i lost my acceptance to ucsb. i lost the scholarship. i lost my comfortable place of denial mostly. i am seriously depressed and i think that i have been trying not to feel anything and i now i feel too much. girls like me don't have two boys that say i love you or two boys who cry when i threaten to leave. i dont know what the fuck to do with this but i know that people who have two usually end up with none. i dont want eric to leave but i cant expect him to stay. i dont want to go back to the boy but i cant pretend that i dont stand in the shower and cry everyday. i cry for the wedding that i dreamed about, i cry for four years of memories that are fading. i cry because i saw forever in his eyes. i cry because i believe when he says im sorry and i believe when he says that he understands my value and would spend his entire life working to afford me. i want to run back to the place where i was a 4.0 student and my parents called everyday. here i am happy and i have a huge penis and i can get naked on the internet and be me and be free but my parents are ashamed and im a failure. my friends dont understand, i dont know what i want and i know i am going to break a heart or two before its said and done. this fucking sucks. lets get naked. fuck the camera. i mean, um....yeah, dynamic duos...lets do it.

We were walking the dogs. I told him "I feel like we have so little in common." And that, subsequently, we have very little to talk about. "We are just such different people."

He said the sky looked 'gross', pointing at the smog hanging over the ocean. We walked the rest of the way in silence, a good twenty five minutes home. I made us...

Having been in the same relationship 20 years now, all I can say is that there are cycles of distance and closeness. Its natural- like tidal ebbs and flows or maybe more like seasons. Or maybe equalibrium and disequalibrium. The main difficulty is the unpredictability of the cycles. You do have to talk though. Being the quiet one, I've finally learned that. Best wishes to you. smile
