the thread that can't be derailed....

I'm wondering why I get up an hour before my 8:00 class. Probably so I can drink coffee and look at what happened on the Internet when I slept. I've been having so much "screen time" lately, it's a bit sad. But will I stop?

Susan's Place is addictive just like coffee, they go together in the morning! 

[hazelspikes]

Truth. Well, good morning all! And I can't (well shouldn't) skip because my first class is important to my major. And I need to look good.

Serendipity...

The four corner words make a nice koan--

Masturbate Meanwhile Matrimonial:
Meditate

No coincidence my male name was also on those pages, meaning 'dim, non-reflective'

Reminds me of a poem I'm about to write:

I would like Ponies but they bite me when I'm near.
Is it my carrot nose or my cauliflower ear?
Whoa now nellie that's not an apple its my belly!
Bad bad Pony Bad bad.

There's a story behind this...

Back when I was planning to leave the Buddhist retreat centre I'd been living in for 6 years, and was wondering what to do next, my Portuguese friend (who'd lived there too) jokingly said Why not come over to Portugal?

So I bought this Portuguese-English dictionary, and the very first time I opened it at random, I hit this page, and the ultimate dilemma: masturbate-meditate.

It's a running joke between us now, I write Escolhas, Escolhas (choices, choices...) - and no, I never learned Portuguese, and never went there.

[Kevin Peña]

Well, I saw ponies, Buddhist retreat centers, and auto-erotic behavior all on one page.... Weird.

Anywho, I just ate the first piece of junk food since I was 11. Coffee cake after years of super-strict health eating wasn't that big of a deal. Pastries taste like sugar on crack, so I'll stay away from them.

I'm guessing Matt.

As for matt, I prefer it to gloss. If I wanted my walls to shine I would have smeared them with oil.

Ummm... eggshell...

Halloween at the end of the month is the most traditional.
But any campfire setting, sleep overs with friends, especially when young, is very traditional.
It's half the fun of doing those things.
When I was little, it was aliens as much as ghosts.

but the teachers scaring their students?
best thing is, we tell of our own and our relatives or friends' personal experiences. so no aliens

Since everyone where I live is already dead, we tell "living" stories to scare the children. Mwuahahaha!

*shudders* yeah, the living are much scarier than the dead

My cat used my boob as a pillow last night =3

Contemplating the hilarity of the current UK system, in which a piece of paper turns you legally from (for example) a man into a woman, but then suddenly makes marriage to a woman impossible and marriage to a man possible, instead of the exact opposite, makes my head explode.

[ativan]

I hate when that happens.

Fall is the best season.

I think trousers are weird, actually, and wonder about the quirk of history that assigned them to men.  (From horse riding, I've heard.)  There is no designated place for the equipment to go, it just sort of gets squished in place or awkwardly to one side.

[Taka]

must be the horse-riding, since non-riding soldiers in other cultures could do war in kilts/skirts/whatevertheymaycallit. i've long wondered why trousers are so popular when men look so much sexier in skirt-like clothing

cheeseburger bed is best idea evrar

I'd be just a bit nervous     if I were sleeping on something that resembled a Jumbo Jack w/cheese

I'm with VM. I have no aspirations to become a condiment.

[V M]

Then again, it would somewhat depend on who wanted to eat me 

[hazelspikes]

What if it was a waterbed shaped like a cheeseburger? Then, it'd be one of those high school cafeteria lunchs. Seriously, my friends and I tested this multiple times throughout public school. The hamburgers and hotdogs bounced.   

[Padma]

We could take turns being the pickle...
