*trips on stairs and falls flat on face.... mumbles something about being fashionable late*

By the way, just out of curiosity, what time zone is everyone in?

I'm in Seattle (Pacific time)

Teheee, Minibrutus, you show up and no one else is around! (I'm only on to check mah mailz).  I'm sorry.

I'm east coast time.  Oh woe, woe, woe!!!!

BTW, I have a weird question that may need advicing if I can't get a hold of a few people today.  It involves old menz.

Le thankz.

Ooh, interested to hear anyway!

Eesh, yeah.... that's kind of sketchy. Even if this person is who your friend says he his, just because he own his own business doesn't mean that he's a trustworthy person anyway. I guess if I were you I would pose some of my questions in another email to him, and if you do decide to actually meet with him you should make sure it's in a busy restaurant and consider asking if it's all right for you to bring your friend with you...

What kind of job are you looking for right now?

Over a sparkly lollipop?  XD You are amazing.

Maybe she can be holding a sparkly lollipop.  Or maybe her skirt can be made of sparkly lollipops.  Or maybe her apron has a lollipop on it.

SO I guess we're the lollipop guild?  Or Ada, shall we continue thinking?

Isn't there already a skirt made of lollipops at Nines?   
Lol, maybe it's just me, but that one skirt, I don't know what it's called, designer or something, looks like a triangle with pink, white and tan bubble things all over it.  It could be lollipops.  Who knows?

Aw, well good luck Nemaine. It's so hard for grads to find jobs in anything right now! Just keep following what you want to do, and hopefully you'll find a job you love soon!

I'm off to work right now... waiting tables. Yuck. I hate going to bed with my hair smelling like fried wontons...

I'm home, bimbos! Work was good and I got my hands on some Epoisses, aged by Herve Mons. I might pass out it's so stinky and amazing.

Nemaine, that does sound a little weird. Can you have a friend accompany you and sit elsewhere with a book or a laptop? Then you can have a signal (if you dip your spoon in your water glass) for this person to call you and give you an excuse to leave. I've done that on dates, and during my days as an artists' model (lotta pervs in photography).

I thinks we needs to have an official 'introduction'.

I am Ada. I am going to be 27 this fall and I live in SoCal. I was born in Virginia and grew up in Florida. My MySpace is here if you wanna see it.

My favorite foods (I'll just be random about it because I can't rank them) are jajangmyun, osso bucco, and anything with garlic in it.

I am married to a really cool guy named Kyle. (Everyone calls him Ky, though. That's 'ky' as in rhymes with 'high', does not sound like 'KY Jelly'. I call him KyMao, but that's a silly story I'll save for another day.) We've been together since spring of 05, but only married since fall 07.

I have no pets, but I want one. I write and read voraciously and play PC games like a mofo. I am estranged from my family and had a horrific childhood that I don't share much about because it seems to make other people much more uncomfortable than it makes me.

I'm pretty healthy. I do have a minor genetic abnormality, though. I have two extra bones in my body (not visible) and received two sets of wisdom teeth. (None of which fit in my face, I might add. They all had to be yanked. Try going through that twice in six months.) I have long wondered if I had a vanishing twin.

I listen to a lot of strange music. Bjork, Portishead, The Books, Sage Francis, and Koop are a smattering of what's in my playlist right now.

I am not religious. Like, really not religious. As in, if I receive a dollar bill as change that has a prayer or a cross drawn on it, I spend it as fast as possible because it annoys me.

Oh, I almost forgot. I'm writing a novel. Well, it started out as plans to be one story about a year ago, but I think it's going to end up being a trilogy, as it's getting a bit long for a single volume. It's a nerdy fantasy novel.

I can't think of anything else.

Knowledge, bring me, gogogogo.

Lol, real names and so on and so forth?  Well I like you guys so here goes!
:3  knowledge, I has, I luvs the intro, ada, and so I shall deliver!

Name's Katie, but I seriously hate that name, so let's pretend it doesn't exist on this forum.  22, job hunting, seriously sad about it, East Coast chick through and through.  Currently live in DC and want to stay here forever.  Or at least until I'm brave enough to go elsewhere, I don't know.

My grandmother is English, my grandfather was mostly American Indian, and the other side of my family is pure hick (teehee).  I love my extended family to death, but my immediate family has enough issues that my friends literally do their best to keep me from going home.  These issues have resulted in a lot of problems for me, and I'm upset because I am being forced to get out of student housing and I don't have a cash inflow that will allow me to live on my own.  I'm not brave enough to go live in a car or under a tree or something either.

Interests include, in no particular order, tea, drawing, comic books, strategy and RPG games (mostly on the nintendo but I have a weird fascination with Makai Kingdom)--particularly Fire Emblem.  Also like going to museums, shopping, stupid shoes I can't wear and pretty dresses, platform flip flops (don't ask why), baking and cooking (k-duh), reading and writing, though I've fallen out of that habit lately.  I knit scarves and crochet bunnies, spend too much time on the 'net, and like to eat chinese food, biscuits, NY strip steak, yorkshire puddins, miso soup , good bread, and fresh veggies and fruits with nothing on them.  I hope to one day own my own business and until then I want to work with brands and/or product development.

I look very young for my age, but because of how I act I've had estimates everywhere from 14 to "professor" (I've also been called "sir" on a couple occasions, and I HAVE NO IDEA WHY--I HAVE BOOBS PEOPLE, BOOBS!).  I've been told I'm "intimidating" and "cute" in the same breath; which to my guy I guess means I'm a "tsundere" type?

Currently dating said sweet guy who is kind of nerdy and shy.  Love him to bits.  he is my bestest friend and the one person who can calm me down and make me think logically if something has gone wrong.  He's not very romantic though, and does like to be babied.  Plays H-games when I'm not around (thus the "tsundere") and likes to discuss the plots with me.  Is a great cuddler.

Huge humanist; I try my best to make the people around me happy because I really think that's one of the best things we can do in life.  Big feminist, though I try not to stir up too much trouble online (and IRL I kind of shy away from any person who isn't a feminist!).  I'm hoping I can get in with some pro-choice groups once I get a job & go to DC rallies... but who knows at this rate.

I have toe thumbs.

But I DO have toe thumbs ;-;

Wow, you guys are good at that. I am absolutely horrid at writing about myself..

I'll keep trying, but I can't guarantee anything will come of it.. Except my name is Ashley, too! Isn't it fun having on of the most common names in America?

I live in.. Well, California. I am nerdily excited about the new animal crossing game as well! Maybe if we both get the little microphone thingie we can play it together.

I used to be really good at, and love, video games, but my brother somehow tore that out of me. He would take away all games I loved and then I just became horrible at them from lack of practice.

I'm kind of stuck in a weird place, mentally and emotionally, and have been for almost two years now. I sort of became a shell of who I was and now I'm not sure about anything, which makes it even harder to write about than it used to! Baha.

Yes, it's absolutely awesome having the most common name ever. Wait. No, it isn't. There are 3 other Ashleys at my job! rarrrrg! But you must know

Yes. Animal crossing. We will play. It will be grand.

I hope you find something for yourself soon. I can say that I went through a period that I guess I would have described the same way you describe yourself now.... I don't know if I can relate or not, but I know that it took me making a lot of big changes in my life to get myself out of that funk. Anyway, I hope everything works itself out for you. Weird limbo zones are lame.   

PS- I finally got to level 13. I'd already be 14, but my boyfriend won't break up with me. The jerk. And I'm closing in on 700 challenge wins... wheeeee!

Hi! I had to search my own name to find this, haha.

Thank you, Minitwiny and Nemaine.. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. I think a lot of it has to do with lack of friends.. Last time I've seen someone other than my doctors and family was Halloween. Also, I've been in an odd relationship with Mr. British and sometimes it doesn't go too well. He's been the source of a lot of my problems, but it isn't exactly his fault (Complete and total Aspie). I have been having issues with panic attacks as well, Nemaine! Icky things.

How has your day been, missies?
