  1. This farking jackdonkey is on another forum that I frequent. You know, the one who wrote an entire article about my psychological problems? Yea, that one. Along with his girlfriend, the stalker. She's following my friend from forum to forum, joining after he does than accusing him of stalking her. I stopped believing he was stalking her the minute she initiated conversation with me, believing that I was him under another username. She changes her name but doesn't change her sig and icon. So Jackdonkey comes over, and starts arguments and fights, posting as a guest under the name "p". He doesn't even have the courage to register, or let anyone know who he is. The admin of the forum won't ban either of them, because she doesn't like to do that, but I can't stand them anymore; they should consider themselves banned from my forum, if they ever try to join it. The worst part is, people are actually defending these two. So here they are, playing the innocent victim, somehow getting at least one supporter. Jackdonkey want's to be martyred. Fine. Crucify his name. I go upstairs to take a nice shower, maybe calm down a bit and compose some poetry while I've got some time to myself. Yea. No farking hot water. When I've got half of me clean, mom shuts off the water without warning, because it is pouring out of the bottom of the heater. Oh, joy. There goes the rest of mom's savings; I'm trying very hard to keep as much of my savings as I can, even though I'll have to pay to fix two cars; I have plans for this summer and I'll need it. Mom has to pay to fix her truck, because it broke down, and now needs a new rocker panel to pass inspection. Maybe this is a kind of push to do something with my life besides my current job. Maybe it's a push to find some other way to make money, something I enjoy, like my artwork or writing. Just maybe.
  2. Thanks!! It does feel weird wearing it in front of the knuckle though. LOL I keep thinking it's going to fall off. Gotta watch when I was my hands that it doesn't slip off. I wonder if that's part of the reason why fashion would change?
  3. yea but...a size 2 ring is like...well that *might* fit a pencil LOL. I don't think anyone's hands are that small, especially not a full grown adult, even if they WERE smaller. But then, my mom exhadgerates quite a bit so "size 2" might actually be "size 4 or 5"
  4. My mom just shared an interesting bit of info with me; my newest piece of alexandrite jewelery got here today, and it's too small for any finger I'd want to wear it on, but I slipped it on my middle finger as far as it would go (just above the middle knuckle) and decided it looked pretty cool that way. My mom chirped up with "you know, that's how the Romans wore their rings; that's why the ones they find are such small sizes" (size 2 and 3 apparently). Is this true? Or is it just parental gibberish? It'd make sense if it were true, as my friend showed me a picture of a Roman archer's ring, which was apparently used to help aim the bow, and it would make alot more sense if it were worn mid-finger instead of where we normally wear rings today.
  5. Thanks for the info! I knew it was a reference to the Bible, but that's all I knew because I'm not familiar with the Bible.
  6. Someone asked this on a Pagan forum of which I'm a member, and I didn't know the answer, but thought it was an interesting question: It seems silly to me to force a person to go miles and miles every so many years just for recordkeeping; for one thing, during the few months before and after the Census, everything would be chaos, and for another thing, more than likely no one would bother to show up.
  7. Awesome!! I use Pixia because I can't afford the "good" stuff, lol.
  8. Wow, that's really good! Wish I could draw figures like that! One thing I notice is that his pudgio looks a little strange, I think it should be more to the side, instead of in front like it is. Is this digital?
  9. Well now THAT I can understand. I was just thinking that there was a tax on how many times you went to the bathroom or something.
  10. "The Wolfman"? Never seen it, never heard of it. LOL that sort of thing really doesn't interest me.
  11. I'm so glad my comment inspired you but which comment? LOL
  12. A wolfgirl? Huh? lol I don't get it.
  13. Happy Christmahanukwanzanalia! This message brought to you by the Council for a Politically Correct Holiday Season. LOL!! Joyful tidings everyone! Happy Saturnalia! So how is everyone celebrating? Lots of wine, I presume? By the way, how in the heck did you get that to post precisely at midnight?

  15. Well the rest of today got better. I did find out who owns the car, and I don't know what she is going to do, but I did know her previously, we are "friendly aquaintences" so to speak. The estimate on MY car is nearly 700$, I'm going to get another estimate LOL. I've got a reference to some place better than a dealership, and also I hear my grandad knows some place too. My mom gave me a beautiful pentagram bracelet for Solstice/Saturnalia. It's made from silver.

    Yesterday a drive off, day before, a possible write-up. And now this. I knew before I even went to bed last night that I was going to be tested somehow today. I knew something was going to happen, but I couldn't sit around worrying about it. I had stuff to do. So if yesterday wasn't enough, I hit someone's car at work. I don't think the damage is bad, at least, not too bad. I don't know who owns the car so I left a note on the windshield with my name and phone number. When I came out of work a semi was parked behind my car. I cut the wheel sharp, fearing backing into the big rig. I forgot that when the back end goes left, the front end goes right. And right next to me was parked a nice, red, Monte Carlo. Yea, I made a stupid mistake. I guess I should be thankful no one was hurt, and no more damage was done. My bumper and quarter panel will probably need painted. Thier quarter panel will need painted as well. I just really, really, don't need this. And I've got five more days before I get a day off.
  17. I can't believe that! I just can't. There has to be at least one, somewhere!
  18. In order to do this properly we would have to know which of these things were actually true, and which were wild speculation or politically motivated rumors. Still, my vote goes to Caligula. Nero has a few redeeming qualities at least.
  19. One day down, seven more to go! LOL Actually, I usually have fun at work. But some days, alot of days, are spent swearing under my breath and wanting to throw things and trying very hard to control myself.
  20. Isn't it possible to find belladonna either in the wild or in a garden, and process it yourself? Sea-hare?? Is that better, or worse, than the various frogs?
  21. I know what you mean (hey, why isn't there any "nostalgic" crying-smiley?)
  22. I feel like I have some room to breath. The past few months since I started work I really haven't felt like myself, but I'm starting to have more "me" time and am actually beginning to feel like I'm getting something done again. I started The Eagle's Conquest and am really enjoying it. I'm also feeling more inspired with my writing, and I think I should start writing more poetry again (I haven't written any in...gods, months! I just hate feeling stressed and uninspired!). I'm working on something called The Seven Gates which I posted in my blog: It's far from complete, actually, I believe that bit of writing is complete but the self work that it's based on is far from complete. Besides that I may make it into a story of some sort. I've just won an Ebay auction for yet another piece of alexandrite jewelery (first the necklace, and now a ring to. This will be my second alexandrite ring). Lab grown alexandrite really isn't all that expensive, which is very good. My jewelery addiction is almost as bad as my Roman addiction! I'm enjoying this whole weekend off, but I will have to work eight days before my next chance to have some time off (that's right folks; I'm working Christmas!). That is going to be a real bear, but luckily all but one day is the shift I can actually tolerate (notice I said "tolerate". This job is definitely not where I can see myself in a few months, or even where I would like to see myself in five minutes. I have fun, but it's turning into one of those "soul crushing" jobs. Plus, they are really tightening down on the already semi-tight regulations. I swear, I seem to be wearing "bullsh*t attractant" or something. They want us working *constantly* for eight hours, with no breaks! Gah! and they've installed closed-circuit camaras to make SURE we don't take a minute to catch our breath. I'll stay, hopefully, through the winter and then come summer, if my plans work out or not, I'm looking for a new situation. Luckily right after Christmas they will be cutting back hours, I won't get any less than four days a week, but the extra time off is just what I need to keep feeling OK. ) So I'm taking a deep breath, and enjoying tomorrow off. Then its "back to the grind" so, if you don't see too much of me until after Christmas you'll know why. I will perservere; and I won't forget about UNRV, I promise!
  23. How does one know that pelicans are hallucinating? What about pufferfish? Was it known in Rome? (it's supposedly great to eat, but one slip of the knife and it's deadly)
  24. Perhaps...I think the idea of a Roman-themed forum game is really cool, but I don't know how much I'd get involved.
