it's FRIDAY!!! YIPEEE!!!

any big plans for the weekend?

Ack! hard luck mate... my jobs alrite,,, not that many people around that i have to talk to.... that sounds really anti-social but they we all in there mid 20's to early/mid 30's when i was born.....

Anyway, i love that guitar... hehe
I play as much stuff as i like, currently a shed load of Muse, simply coz i've been dying to play it on a real electric instead of my electro-acoustic, so I'm messing about with that sorta of thing at the mo

You play guitar?

WOW, that sounds like a lot of fun!!! 2 weeks paid in London!! Can I come too?!?! you don't like speaking in front of that many people? or you just don't like speaking in front of people at all?

no pimms today, we ate at this really cute sandwich place. i'm not sure anyone here knows what pimms are.

goodness, i hope the woman that you are speaking about isn't the one you had the baby oil on your sheets issue with...that my friend would not be subtle!! i am the last one that should be giving any kind of advice about relationships. i hope she is able to get the hint without you having to break her heart too terribly.

i would feel awful if you bought a laptop just to chit chat with me, although extremely flattered how much longer are you going to have to be away for most of the week?

i am off to dinner with friends tonight. should be fun. they are from England!! I love your accents! someplace 1.5 hours north of London, North Hampstead, could that be right? I am an idiot when it comes to geography!

Have fun tonight!!! i miss talking to you.

how did the rest of your weekend go? you leaving town again tomorrow?

you have the best stories!! can't wait to read the piercing story...and on my birthday, what a fantastic present! Story time with The Happy Pig!! And, of course, you must post a pic of new hair cut. Catie likes pics of the Pig

btw, how did you come up with that name?

I hope you are having a great time out tonight!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am laughing my ass off!!!!! Thank you for sharing the story. I needed to laugh today. You are the best. And I am looking forward to a "bad hair" pic

Hey, I just saw your thread. How did the Valentine's Day thing work out? Hope you are doing well.

What's up with the job thing? I thought it was going well. My job situation isn't going well either...but that is my own fault and completely self inflicted (wait was that redundant?)

When are you going to have more work done on your arm? Is it healing nicely? Scabs gone? I've never had anything that big done, does it take longer to heal...are these silly questions? I don't feel as if my mind is functioning properly today...Yeah! for being an extra in a movie. What movie?

Yes, you must get a laptop, or make your work put you up in nicer hotels that have computer centers for guest use. I miss you when you're gone

Any big plans for the weekend?

don't apologize, i asked, you can rant to me any time!! sorry your dinner turned out to be a head case. Chicks can be that way sometimes, unfortunately. And whats up with your friends?

I'm doing okay. A little in the dumps lately but nothing major. Feeling as if life is passing me by and I'm not making the most of it. I need a job. I would feel so much better with a job. This weekend, no big plans. If the weather works out, I might work in the garden a bit. That usually helps clear my head.

re: Things has been peaceful for me.

Obviously I don't know what's the matter, but I hope things clear up for you soon. <3 *kisses*

badger's arse=OUCH!

Miller High Life=

My puppy=anatolian shephard (official dog of Turkey! )

Like the way I'm not using complete sentences tonight!?!

How does your arm feel today? Healing nicely?

travel safely and return quickly...i'll miss ya while you're gone

and you're right about Anatolians, they are used to guard flocks of sheep. They are very loyal and territorial. My guy is just a big 'ol teddy bear!

glad you are feeling better

i can't wait to see the finished product. you mentioned the rest of your tattoos have true significance, what else do you have and what do they mean to you? I guess I am the one being nosey now

i was just thinking about you and wondering how the tattoo looks! Can't wait to see it!!!

you expressed yourself perfectly. i understand completely!

do tell, what is so shameful about a celtic knot? is there a shameful story behind it?! the wave is going to look so amazing when it is done. Can't wait for pics! and oh my, your nipple is pierced *swoon*

what type of creature is Leonard? Is he a Gecko? Excuse my ignorance, I don't mean to offend Leonard.

still laughing about your first tattoo experience story! good stuff!!

ahhh, you ask about Katydids (you are neither dumb nor nosey)
sweet little creatures and you are correct, they are related to grasshoppers


I posted this to my page once, seemed to fit the way I often feel:

Katydids get their name from the way their songs sound. Some katydids have been called long-horned grasshoppers because of their long and slender shape. However, all katydids are more similar and related to crickets than grasshoppers. One of the things that makes them different from their relatives is their antennae which may be two or three times the length of their body. These antennae are covered with sensory receptors that allow katydids to find their way around in the dark, when most of them are active.
Being discovered often means death for insects. Katydids are eagerly sought by sharp-eyed and hungry predators, from bats and birds to snakes and shrews. To avoid becoming another creature's meal, katydids have had to evolve cunning and devious ways to hide. Few other groups in the insect world have as wide a range of survival tactics as katydids. Katydids do everything from posing as remarkably life-like leaves to mimicking other insects in their attempts to make it through the day without being eaten.

I love their song and they seem to pop up where you'd least expect to see them. Not sure why I became so fascinated by the little creatures, but that is how I got my name Catiedid, a play on my name and my love of the sweet little creatures.



And that ends my lesson on the Katydids!

i do love my dogs, even as i watch them destroy my house. the big dog is just turning 1 so i figure 2 more years and my house will be safe from destruction and I can start repairing and replacing!

naughty in braces...really...you think?!

i hope you have another great weekend!!
