Confessions of a 20-something mother

[Claire]

Tomorrow, I finish undergrad. I am scared out of my mind.

[Mich]

Tomorrow, I finish undergrad. I am scared out of my mind.

Hey hey hey, welcome to the party boat. I got aboard on Friday.

Good luck...

[locke]

Tomorrow, I finish undergrad. I am scared out of my mind.

tonight you should dress in something fun that can get wet, get a bunch of your friends together and run around the entire campus and jump in every fountain.

just saying.

[Confessions]

I can't wait until I can be on the receiving end of a mother's day present.

[neo-dragon]

No need to be embarrassed about wanting to be a mom, Confessions.

...Unless you're a guy, in which case I can see why it would be awkward.

[Gravity Defier]

just saying.

I'm sorry...I hate this. I don't know where it came from or why it's so popular but I can't stand this.

[Rei]

I've never heard of it. But then, I don't think my university had any fountains or waterways of any sort.

[Edit] Or did you mean the "just sayin'" part?

[Gravity Defier]

The "just sayin'" part.

[locke]

I was confused. what better time to jump in the fountains you've wanted to jump in for the last four years than the last night before graduation?

glad you clarified.

[Syphon the Sun]

tonight you should dress in something fun that can get wet, get a bunch of your friends together and run around the entire campus and jump in every fountain.

Or the Mississippi...

[jotabe]

The "just sayin'" part.

I think zeroguy had a great idea when he changed it into:

just saiyan

[Mommy Brontosaurus]

I totally registered this name because there was a newbie who chose the moniker "Deinonychus", which is a great name. But brontosauruses are still the best.

[Mich]

Confession: I nearly cried when we watched Dear Zachary tonight. I almost had to leave the room. That was the most powerful documentary I've ever seen, the best made one, and a surprisingly uplifting one.

But damn, it sure hit close to home.

[Confessions]

People manage to overcome all kinds of relationship handicaps in the world. But fat, ugly, and boring? Give up now.

[locke]

confession: I got a girl's number saturday and I think I'll contact her tonight or tomorrow. I was very enthusiastic saturday, today, less so, so probably a good idea to wait til tomorrow.

[Gravity Defier]

Confession: The recent AIM update (or maybe I was behind and it's not all that recent) kind of kicked me in the ass and when I try to explain why to myself, given how small this is in the scheme of things and how small the changes were, I feel stupid.

[locke]

I'm on 7.2.6.1 and I always deny its ability to update until they force me to update. in general updates make the program more intrusive and less functional while applying a skin that is much more annoying than the one before it.

[Mich]

Confession: I have begun developing tabletop RPG rules for Team Fortress 2. I have reached nerd Nirvana.

[zeroguy]

Confession: I still cannot fathom that people use the official AIM client.

[Eaquae Legit]

I still have AIM 5.5.3598 on my laptop. It's never forced an update that I can remember, and since I use pidgin now, I hardly even log in.

[megxers]

Confession: I am perversely pleased by the fact now that he's openly professed his love to her, he talks to me more frequently. Is it because now he isn't hiding anything or is it because if I were to snap my fingers and move to California, he'd pick me? Whatever.

[Gravity Defier]

RE: AIM. I can't remember exactly what the little message said but there was at least something about "this version is no longer supported." It could be me making it up after the fact but I'm pretty sure it wasn't an option to opt out of upgrading. Maybe I'm confusing that with stupid FB..."Interested in these things still? Either join the public page or you can't tell anyone." Blegh.

[zeroguy]

Confession: I actually looked up how to triforce.

(on the plus side, I can triforce!)

[starlooker]

Confession: I can never seem to understand the little diagrams on gas pumps that tell you which way is the correct way for the credit card to face. I always end up putting it in backwards when I try to follow the instructions on unfamiliar pumps (and, occasionally, on familiar ones).

[neo-dragon]

I'm like that too with anything that involves swiping a card. I just end up trying every possible combination of facing up/down, and swipe left-to-right/right-to-left until I get some indication that it worked. Then I won't even be sure which one worked so it's the same thing all over again next time.

[Jayelle]

That's why the new chipped cards are the best, all you have to do is stick it in.






(that's what she said)

[Jebus]

Confession: I really want to eat a McGangBang.

You're a bastard. I've been fantasising about this ever since you posted it. My drunk self couldn't help himself tonight.

I'm now having trouble breathing. Probably should at least have not ordered fries as well.

[Jebus]

On the upside..... it was delcious.

[Jebus]

Confession: I have begun developing tabletop RPG rules for Team Fortress 2. I have reached nerd Nirvana.

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

[starlooker]

I do not ever take care of my fingernails, other than occasionally trimming them when required. However, occasionally, I spend money on nail-care items feeling that I would like to resolve this.

Because of this, I have discovered that cutical sticks are the perfect implement for scratching off lottery tickets. Particularly the crossword one that my fiance and I get pretty often. (Not that often. I still remember the lessons of my 7-11 days.) The crossword scratchoff tickets requires a lot more precision than most of them, and a coin just won't do. I used to have a nifty little free scratch off thinger that worked okay, it was metal, and it worked okay, but then it got lost. Tweezers were adequate, but awkward. This is easily the most efficient and best feeling scratch-off implement ever. This discovery probably makes me way too happy.

Also, relatedly, I scratch off the letters at the bottom of the crossword puzzle two at a time. I always end up laughing to myself when the letter combo I scrach off is BM or BO. My inner preteen gets the giggles really, really easily sometimes. This happens with enough frequency that I sometimes imagine a bored lottery employee is doing it on purpose.

[Mommy Brontosaurus]

Confession: I know it's a migraine when it makes me silly and afraid of being alone all at once.

I guess it's not really a confession.

Real Confession: I have a migraine now, and I've lost the will to censor the silly.

[daPyr0x]

Confession: It's Friday night and I'm sitting on the computer trying to organize/understand my finances.

Confession: I've not done this properly in the last 4 years. I've been coasting with absolutely no idea where I stood incoming vs. outgoing money.

Confession: It has always been my goal to live a life where the individual dollars and cents wouldn't cause me to require such an action...

[Young Val]

Confession: I'm a pretty s***** mini-mod. The book club was resurrected and I had no idea.

[Gravity Defier]

If it's not entirely (or at all, I hope) condescending to say, I've been pretty happy thanks to your signing in more often and posting a bit more.

That's not really related to the book club, I just thought I'd share.





Plus I'm hoping you get to a magic number so you can do that landmark.

[Rei]

Psh, I'm thinking most people had no idea. I just wanted to get things going again so I thought I'd give it a boot.
