lemming Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 I think some people have got to get over themselves. People who think they're the only ones making a difference tend to disregard others who do. And sometimes seem to make sure others can't help. sigh. Quote
Kara Zor-El Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 There's nothing better than your child crawling into your lap, snuggling in, smiling sweetly at you and saying "I love you, Mama." Quote

Mightybec Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 Why is it that the best way to score with a girl, is to act like you don't want to get her in the sack? Quote

Rachel Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 Nobody gets into Christmas like Kara. The house is decorated to the Nth degree. There's constantly either a Christmas movie or show on TV, or Christmas music playing on the stereo. Kara is baking and cooking like crazy, laughing at the "help" she's getting from Katie and Kim, even though it makes the clean up harder. She's got the kids excited to an insane degree. Everything she wears this time of year has a Christmas theme. She can't walk by anyone without wishing them happy holidays and she can't pass by a Salvation Army bell ringer without dropping something in their kettles. She's even humming Christmas songs in her sleep. Quote
Enforcer84 Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 I talk in my sleep. Sometimes I open my eyes too. Once I told my wife (before we were engaged) that she looked much better in real life than in the cartoon. I may never know where taht one came from. Quote

zornwil Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 I'm almost never visibly (even to myself) nervous before shows. But I know I suppress and it comes out in other ways, and the more interesting thing is that I can see it in others who say they're not nervous but they're interactions with others' changes noticably, even if it's subtle (more talkative, less talkative, joking, serious, whatever). And people do some silly things before shows as part of this manifestation of underlying nervousness. I can kind of see why traveling rock bands trash hotels and do stupid stuff. Not justifying it whatsoever (one can still control oneself) but I can see where the mind reacts oddly to pressures of performing in front of others, and can well imagine how exaggerated that is when that process becomes ongoing, especially in young people (typical rock bands) who aren't so self-aware.

Catacomb Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 The man that owns our movie theatre has to come out before every major opening, and talk to the audience for 20 minutes. It kills me, and in turn I want to kill him. First though I want to get an organ grinder and put a monkey hat on him and tell him to dance...dance monkey boy, dance. Ah well, it'll never happen and I'm looking forward to seeing him Wednsday morning at 12:01 in the AM as I prepare to watch ROTK...I have many rubber bands in my jacket... PREPARE TO FEEL MY WRATH!!!

austenandrews Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 I've got pinkeye right now. Talk about being a pariah. I'm embarrassed even to go out to the store. I pray for a sunny day, so I can wear sunglasses everywhere I go. Of course when I wore them to a nighttime showing of The Last Samurai, I still got stared at like I was a freak. Maybe I am a freak. -AA Quote
tkdguy Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 It seems I'm always showing off my middle finger during the Christmas holiday. Quote
zornwil Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 The show went okay. Not great, not poorly, but okay. The first set was a bit tentative, we just couldn't kick into full gear. I think we were being too serious. As we've noted, the couple times including this we've performed in front of an audience, we don't seem to reach the same insane complex and dense sounds as when playing just for ourselves. But it's also fairly difficult music to play well. The second set went better, kicked in with more energy and sustained much of the time. Overall had a pretty good time, and people's applause seemed reasonably spirited and not forced, so that's a good sign. Quote
Agent X Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Modifying the Isle of Dread for 2nd Edition play and changing the setting from a tropical setting to a temperate forested setting was much easier than I thought it would be. Quote
Hermit Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 I stayed up till four in the morning, hooked on the Jedi Academy game, then crashed and got to sleep in... late. I come back to life only to learn that while I was away, Saddam has been confirmed as captured. It's amazing how the farthest away things, that don't directly affect you, can uplift your spirits sometime. Christmas is not my favorite holiday, and I was suffering severally from a funk about it, but oddly, This, THIS gives me hope. Perhaps now, I can sing and wish for Peace on Earth, good will towards men... without thinking to myself "Yeah right". Sure, it's still likely never going to happen... but the dream feels more alive now. Weird Quote
Rachel Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 For such a non-violent, non-confrontational person, Kara is a surprisingly rabid football fan. With the Rams winning the NFC West by beating Seattle today, Kara is in a great mood, excitement just emanating from her. Of course, this is infecting the girls, even though Faith is the only other football fan. The twins are like miniature Kara clones, though, so they're pretty hyper to begin with, so they're picking up on the excitement, too. Erin is oblivious, thankfully. lol Kara's still glued to the TV set, though. There are still NFL games being televised. lol Quote
Rachel Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 You know, there are times I just reflect on my life, and I just found myself doing it a few minutes ago. I don't know why. I've decided I'm a lucky woman. I'm healthy. I have a beautiful (in every way) wife who loves me dearly, as I do her, and four adorable little girls (I'm biased. ). I'm doing well in my career (youngest person to make VP in my corporation, a week before my 30th birthday.) Kara and I both adore the others' parents and relatives, who get along with each other. We have good friends, online and off. All in all, I can say that even though I'm by no means wealthy, I am one very rich woman in all the ways that count. Sorry for the touchy feely. I know it's more Kara's forte than mine. lol Quote
