Lady Macaiodh

...getting into the topic late (as always, it seems)... i wrote the damn book on this subject. a lot of my friends call me carrie, from the stephen king book, b/c my parents are fanatically overprotective like carrie's mom. but that's not the point i'm trying to make. i'm not saying it's my parents' fault, but my brothers & i are all completely rebellious. i think if we had had more liberties when we were growing up, we wouldn't have gone so wild when we had the chance. to this day we all have huge problems w/ authority & being told what to do. anyway, we didn't really care about my parents' rules too much. we just did whatever we wanted anyway. thank god i had a first-floor window, lol. ignore me, i can be such a bad influence at times. :)

i've seen some actual celebrities in real life. the undertaker hhh stone cold kane lita the hardys shawn michaels d'angelo goes to my parents' church sometimes. i also know the guys in gwar & have smoked weed w/ the wailers (bob marley's band).

once i was sleepwalking & i wandered into the living room. my parents were in there watching tv. i opened the closet door & went inside. when my mom opened the door to see what i was doing, i was pulling my pants down getting ready to pee b/c i thought i was in the bathroom. my mom was like, "this isn't the bathroom, deb." so i got up & went to the bathroom. my mom said i stayed in there so long that she opened the door to check on me & i was asleep on the toilet. don't ask me the reason behind all that.

probably gonna get flamed for this, but i think having a king & queen would be kind of cool. i mean, it would suck if they were all "off with their heads!" every five minutes, but the british monarchy doesn't even have any authority. as long as the people get to choose who their rulers are (& i have no idea how they do it in the UK, i'm speaking of the US here) i really don't see the harm in it. it's just a tradition, part of history. or maybe i'm still harboring some fantasies of being a princess. ;)

:rotflmao at piro!: yeah, his was black but it had grown out so it was half black & half blonde. it was really sweet. :sad sigh: he got me to listen to my first punk song ever: "god save the queen" by the sex pistols.

this is pretty easy to answer. what makes a word bad is the stigma that society attaches to it. for example: i heard that when "free willy" came out in the UK, they had to change willy's name b/c in the UK willy means penis (i don't know if this story is true or not, but you see my point). but in america, no one thinks twice if you use the word willy. it's the same the other way around. to us f*g is a derogatory word for gay, but in the UK it just means a cigarette. if nobody thought "damn" or whatever was bad, it wouldn't be, even if it meant the exact same thing. the whole thing is very stupid.

the way i know if a serious relationship is going to last is i ask myself: "is this the person that will be all i need for the rest of my life?" or something of that nature. i haven't been able to say yes yet. well, there's a maybe, but i'm not sure yet. anyway, most of you are too young to be thinking about this kind of stuff. enjoy the dating thing while you can. i really agree w/ james... & i will never make the mistake of getting married too quickly. a few of my girl friends got married too young & they regret it now. actually, i'm the only girl i know of my friends who isn't married (though some of them do have really good marriages) & i'm in no hurry, either. i'm praying that getting married is something i'll only have to do once. :)

i'm having a pretty sucky day. i'm dead broke, i have no cigarettes, i lost my wallet, & to top it all off, some guys stoped to hit on me while i was waiting for the bus & after they left the cops came & questioned me for like fifteen minutes even though i had no idea who they were. >_< jeez, they see a white girl talking to black guys & they assume i'm buying drugs. yeesh. they even searched me but since i had absolutely no drugs, it was a waste of everybody's time.

there was this one thing... i used to be really shy around guys, & when i was fifteen, there was this guy i adored from afar for 2 years, until i was sixteen. he was good friends w/ my brother, & he had this big mohawk... a devillock, actually. i'd never met anyone like him, i'd only seen good boys before. i knew he liked me, but i was too shy to do anything about it. one day we were in my house alone in the hallway & he told me he wanted to kiss me, but i said no, b/c i was scared. i'd never kissed a boy before. then he moved away like 2 weeks later & all i could think about for a whole year was how i wished i'd said yes. i finally tracked him down, but when i met up w/ him again, he had a fiancee. i wonder what would have happened if i would have kissed him, if we would have gotten together. well, at least he showed me the beauty of punk. :)

I only watch the wrestling PPVs... nothing else. [/B][/QUOTE] **bashes tn over the head w/ a text book** whatever, you have no sense of humor! but i agree that margaret cho's show was hilarious. anyway, back to the topic, i doubt this split will last. nothing major like this ever does. & the ownership of the wwf is always chaging. someone else will take over & put it all back the way it was.

drew carey lewis black paula poundstone dana carvey bobcat goldthwait chris rock denis leary margaret cho is usually pretty good, too.

hey, babygirl & queen asuka, are we still doing the angels? i can't wait til we've been together long enough to start a thread like this. :)

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by ssjsupreme [/i] [B] are you gay?serious [/B][/QUOTE] rotflmao! dbzchika is 100% straight, have you [i]heard[/i] her go on about piro & voodoo? lol back to the subject, whenever i watch the south park movie, it literally takes me about 6 hours to get through it b/c i keep rewinding the funny parts over & over. i'll listen to "uncle f*cka" & "kyle's mom's a b*tch" like 10 times. i know both those sonegs by hear. & south park is probably the funniest show i've ever seen, other than seinfeld.

thanks for the compliments, everybody. you all have a lot of really good insights. this is why i love coming here... b/c i have friends like you. sometimes, you guys are the only people i can really talk to.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by DeathKnight [/i] [B] [color=crimson]But the problem is i've been taught for most of my life I am nothing. Heh. So that really just bounces off all the curses and yelling my parents did at me as a kid, making me feel so imperfect that I wanted to be someone else so bad I roleplayed all the time [b]In real life[/b]. I guess what i'm trying to say is, that this is great advice but my attitude really cant accept it. Too far gone I suppose. o.o I dunno what i'm tryin to say. Confused. Coughs.... I should shut up ;)[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] this really upsets me, b/c you've been fed a load of crap. but so was i. you're still young, when i was your age i thought the same as you do. give it time, & think about what i said. you're better than those people. & if you let them do this to you, they win, you lose. i know you're a very strong person--use the strength you have & you'll be fine. i'll be thinking of you, you've always worried the hell outta me. :nervous:

i hate to admit it... but i was a cheerleader for seven years. >_< what's worse, i looooooved it. never lose your smile. keep your wrists straight--no bent wrists. make every move like a punch---tight & fast as possible. to do the split, try one of these: sit in a split position for as long as you can until you've reached the floor (don't bounce, you could tear muscles)--that's how i first learned how to do it, i sat in the split position while watching tv (distraction from the pain) for a whole hour until i was on the floor. the other thing you can do is put one foot on a chair & rest your opposite leg on the ground, knee to foot, & press down. this stretches the muscles further than just sitting on the floor does. if you do this often enough, a split won't be the least bit uncomfortable. one more thing--excersize your legs. you need strong legs for the jumps. you might want to go to a 3 or 4 day cheerleading workshop. gymnastics academies have them all the time. i improved a huge amount in just 3 days after i went to one.

the only reason i started watching freakazoid is b/c it's the only thing on at 5:30 a.m. besides infomercials.

dbzchika, i am totally w/ you about the science thing. when i think about mixing chemicals in the lab... it makes my mouth water. music & writing have always been my main passions. i've been playing guitar & writing (anything--poetry, short stories... i'm even working on 2 novels right now) since i was old enough to hold a guitar or a pen. i wasn't able to play guitar for over 2 weeks recently (see my thread to find out why) & i nearly went insane. singing goes along w/ that, too. i have to sing when i play. i have a new passion though-- my boyfriend michael. we just moved in together & i've never been happier & more fulfilled in my life. we're getting married, but we're going to wait a good while since we haven't been together very long. but seriously, i have never felt such passion as when we're together. when he kisses me &... other stuff. :naughty: :naughty: :naughty:

i know "what's this life for" was released as a single right after "my own prison." go to sam goody or tower & they'll tell you what cd it's from. for the more obscure stuff, you need to find some sort of underground music store, some place that specializes in rock music. that's what i did when i wanted to find obscure nirvana songs. there are tons of imports out there that never get released to mainstream record stores. i can't tell you the name of one to go to, b/c they're different in every city, but i'm positive there's one near you since you live in a major metropolis. just ask the show-goers, they'll be sure to know. i'll go to my underground store & see if i can find out what cds for you. & if you can't find them where you live... i can always send them to you. it wouldn't be any trouble.

several nights ago, i couldn't sleep for about 4 hours b/c i was thinking about this. i'm sure most of you have heard the song "crawling in the dark" by hoob-something-or-other (can't remember). there's this one lyric that really got to me: "is there something more than what i've been handed?" obviously, he's talking about the circumstances of his life (he's dissatisfied). at first, i thought the answer to that question must be yes. of course there's more to life than what we have--there's always something better. but then i realized the true meaning of this. [i]all we have to work with is what we've been handed.[/i] people are born into circumstances, with certain talents & intelligence & family situations, etc. & some people are more fortunate than others in that respect. but what i realized is that it doesn't really matter what we've been handed. what matters is how we use it. for example, someone could be born into poverty, apply themselves in school, get a scholarship, & become a famous nobel prize-winning scientist. but another person could inherit a million dollars & blow it all on drugs. these are just 2 examples, there are tons of others & different ways to look at it. another would be that a person is born w/ moderate means & lives a mediocre life--not an unhappy life, but not a terribly successful or important one either. the reason i am posting this is b/c i always thought i'd gotten a pretty raw deal. i felt that my intellect was my only real asset. i've had more problems than most people my age. but you know what? i'd rather it be this way, b/c i wouldn't be who i am, & i know i'm a stronger person b/c of it, & once i [i]am[/i] successful, i will appreciate it a lot more. [b]i was thinking about all this in jail. yes, i just got out of jail for something very stupid that i did, which is why i haven't been around in a few weeks.[/b] i was in a really miserable, self-pitying state, kept asking myself why. but then i realized i had taken something good i'd been handed & squandered it. it was my own fault, & i paid for it. i'm putting this really badly. but the main thing i want to say is: [b]take what you've been given & run with it. take the leap, maybe you'll fly. no one controls your future but you. we all have the potential for greatness.[/b]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink] In fact, thanks for reminding me, I don't have a research paper to do, but rather a 5-7 page analysis on [b]The Grapes of Wrath[/b]...I should perhaps start that seeing as how it is due Monday...[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] i'm sorry, but.. reading that book is like sliding down a razor blade w/ a lit match in your hand into a pool of gasoline. i've done several research papers over the years but my favorites were "the dangers of conformity & self-suppression" & "alotropes of sulfur" (mostly b/c to write that one i got to light lots of fires, heheh).

i didn't read this whole thread, but the answer is.. hell no! my mom is [I]in[/I] the media & she's told me about the kind of stuff that gets twisted or covered up. i even saw it first-hand when i worked for PBS. also, my mom was told to make the stories she writes as much like hard copy as possible. [i]hard copy!!!!!!![/i]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by DBZChikaGhan [/i] [B] [COLOR=purple]O.o Only if it's with TN, Safer, Rico, or Voodoo... and if you agree to let me, Baby Girl, Queen Asuka, Anna and LM watch and take a bajillion pictures... [/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE] hmmm. i'm in! esp. watching safer... :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: there are a few things i'd like to clear up though. 1) i think the reason females fall for gays is b/c a) they want what they can't have, & b)gays tend to be more sensitive, less macho, & you can go shopping w/ them, lol. hell, i'm in love w/ a gay guy right now (but in this case for his personality), even though i have a boyfriend! 2) i have this quote: Bubba: "I'll tell you a secret, Mike. Girls want to have sex exactly as much as guys do. They just don't want to have to pay for it later. That's why the ladies love me so much. I let them know w/ me, everything's going to be okay." Honestly, i think girls would have a lot more sex if they weren't afraid to be seen as sluts. the fact that girls are sluts but guys are stud when they have sex [i]pisses me off!!![/i] hell, i guess i'm a slut then, i don't freakin' care.

i keep going back & forth on this one. i understand how a vendor wouldn't want to supprt anyone who is pro-terrorism. it's their decision. on the other hand, i don't think an entire community should be disrupted by two thick-headed people. all i know for sure is, i want us to get on w/ our lives. i still get really upset when i think about it, so i try not to. i'm sick of talking about it. i just want to forget all the stuff i saw that day.

rotflmao at the title of this thread! i always talk to the guy on the phone for awhile before deciding if he's worth dating. that's what i would do. maybe you asked them out too fast, before you were comfortable together.
