Oh my goodness, YES! I am so glad someone agreees with me. I swear, every time I come to the board, it's a new game. Having one or two going at a time is okay, but I think we have four going right now. I just don't even go in them anymore.

I'm sure there's some hilarious Carollian pun to be made about 'bored' games, but I'm too tired/lazy to do it. Where's Acey? He can do it for me instead.

And yes. I agree. Too many. Most are no fun.

I got a little bored and wanted to test my photoshop skills, and plus, these two pictures were too perfect not to use!

oh, and did you know, that the book "Perfect Match" By Jodi Picoult has 6 different covers!?

Ok, so, I know that this is a strange question...but...I wanted to know if any of you have bred fish? Specifically Bettas. I know that one or two of you said you have them, so I didn't think it was too absurd of a question.

My roommate and I are insanely interested in breeding Bettas, and then selling them for some extra cash. I know that it's difficult to keep the fry alive, and that's proving to be the part that we're most concerned about. So, if anyone knows how to breed them with as little problems and expense possible, that would be FANTASTIC!

I totally wanted to breed betas I read about it and it looks really hard. You have to put them in one of those divided beta cage things and let the male get all horny. Then he makes this bubble nest thing and she gets all fat. Then you pull out the divider and let them go at it. Then you separate them again... and I think you just let the eggs lie. I don't remember the rest, but I do remember that it's supposed to be a VERY tricky thing to do.

Hmm, I've never read about breeding betas.

Thanks Missnikki! thought you'd like it.

*sneeze*

these are just random ones that didn't turn out as good as I wanted them too.

The second-to-last one - the Idina one - was the best. It's not that I'm a rabid Idina fan or anything, it just looks nicest. Is there a picture of her with her head tilted the other way, though? It would contrast better.

Sorry. Just random. That one is pretty, though.

So a conversation I had a few minutes ago prompted me to count how long I'd known a certain online friend of mine. And I realised that I've know him for 4 years. Thinking back on that, that's quite a long time. And we've had fights, and have made up. But through it all we still talk all the time. We're talking right now. I like that.

It makes me think about all of you, and if I'll have friendships (because I do have a real friendship with the afore mentioned party) like that one, with you. I know that I could name a couple of you that I'd like to still be talking to when I'm off to bigger and better things in my life. I know I'd like to still be a frequenter of this board. I'll probably keep coming as long as you all do.


Anyways... I like that I've been friends with him for 4 years. It makes me feel really good.

Yeah... Everyone else has loved it... but I just can't get used to it. Maybe I just need time, but I don't know. I'm not showing anyone right now, especially because my last picture I posted on my myspace, my hair looked so amazing... and now... it just sucks. I can't believe I let myself get talked into it.

Luckily it's only semi-permanent, but it still won't fade back to the way it was before. I'm going to be washing my hair twice a day if I can to get it to fade sooner than later.

This is way, way, way, overdue. But still exciting.

Joshua Winslow Groban's new CD, Awake, will come out on November 7th. The day before I leave for France. What could be better?

Oh! And for all of you with iTunes, the single, "You Are Loved(Don't Give Up)", (which is beautiful, and makes me cry), is avalible now for download.

Hop to it people!!

you know what ELLEN.

I freaking knew that already. I know the difference between subject and object pronouns. as well as the difference between "who" and "whom," and when not to use it.

I also know how to spell "shut up," in Hebrew.

bam.

/end bitchyness.

1) If you were trying to be funny by acting bitchy, it didn't work.

2) If you really were being bitchy, get over yourself, honestly.

2b) And if you knew that, why did I have to correct you?


This isn't a bitchy response. I'd like you all to know that I feel completely emotionless as I type this, and there is no need to start some trivial argument about it.

I don't believe I was fighting, merely responding in a somewhat fed up manner.


Good effort though.

I think Saint A is feeling rather stressed out right now, and so was just being bitchy because stuff was pissing her off and your little correction put her over the edge. I don't think she was mad at you, OTM, I think she was just mad and let it out. But I was going to correct her too. I don't think it was personal.

Of course, I could be completely off the mark, but that's what I think. As a board, we correct other people's mistakes. Molly knows that, and is very good-natured about being corrected (God knows we have to correct her enough ) So, um...Let's all be happy?

Honestly? I don't care if she wasn't mad at me. This is the internet. She knew exactly what she was typing, and I'm sure she had plenty of time to calm down and delete her message before she hit "submit." Things like that piss me off. I hate to use cliches, but the world does not revolve around one person. I don't take my personal problems out on people on this board because I don't have the right to do so. Neither does anyone else. You have a rant? We have a thread for that.

... This trivial argument makes me sad. I didn't take it as bitchy from either of you... However, I would like to point out that everyone makes mistakes. In fact, I most likely made some that I didn't notice in this very post!

I've had a similar experience on these bords...don't let it get to you. I get abused over at CB all the time, but I get over it. But I will probably develop crippling psychological damage, but, that won't be for a while

Thank you

*bursts into tears*

*stops crying*

Crap.

Okay, I'm sorry OTM. I'm sorry, okay?

wow. I just figured out why the majority of the people I talk to hate my guts...
hmm Thanks OTM.

Sorry, just, I don't know what to say. I'm normally not like this...
