Sandyc | Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:20 pm  THE LIVING ROOM Moondance Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 08:36 pm Roger...Because I like you two so much but I have to remeber it is a game Zeb..GREAT job on the lyrics... left you a post in that thread! ---------------------------- Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 08:41 pm LOL! Well, I can understand now how nominations must have been for the BB houseguests. I'm not sure who Robert is...maybe she meant Roger. Yes, I do believe being here gets better as The Game goes on. Unfortunately, I can't be here most of the day, but I contribute all I can. All we can do is all we can do. ---------------------------- Moondance Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:13 pm Zeb... it's quality not quanity. I think you have that covered! I like it when you are around! I see how Jamie wanted to resort to the dice and how stressful it was on them all! ------------------------- Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:23 pm Yes, Zeb has quality covered---I have quantity covered!! LOL Zeb, no dishonor in giving it the best you can do! Moon, don't you think the uniqueness of the "getting alond well with each other" and having to nominate on a reular frequency is what makes this game stand out from all others??? This is no place for a wuss. I saw a little joke awhile back that suggested that in sport competition events, the winner got to kill and eat the loser!! I LMAO --------------------------- Moondance Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:31 pm LOL Roger Yes...The Game ... looks easy but definitely not for wusses! Do we know when you are going out for the 'emmys'? ------------------------ Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:34 pm Well, I just made a visit to the RR. This whole thing has been a lot more fun than anticipated. ------------------------- Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:36 pm I posted that in the reward challenge thread---7:00 pm board time. For you and me, 7:00 also! In the mesages from the host thread, I was given a site to get a map of the game discussion area. I asked the Host of you guys can look at it, however it seems that if they had wanted just me to have it, she would have sent it by email like she did to ask what time I wanted to do this?? I can't print either---only read text. Some things on the map are suff we already know--like our threads. A few areas look promising for information.... Where the heck is everyone tonight?? -------------------------- Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:37 pm How is that Zeb?? --------------------------- Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:44 pm Gee Zeb, have you been having fun because I haven't been here to ride your ass about your potential abusive tendencies? Did you happen to leave any important details out of your "I am heart-broken...I am a victim...feel sorry for me " post? Come on, I not judgmental or anything, you can tell me if you made her life a living hell... --------------------------- Luke Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:49 pm Hey guys! OMG! I got a banner! Hehehe! How's everyone doing? Roger--I'm looking at that BB site that gives you a roadmap... did you see the titles of some of those discussions? Wow! ------------------------ Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:52 pm Luke!!! I wanted to aplogize for nominations. I wanted to nominate you, but the reason I included was mean. I had done my nominations right after the live chat and I was in a pissy mood. I hope you weren't offended or anything. Roger! Where is this map? --------------------------- Luke Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:57 pm Hey Xenia... Hey, you know what, that's all part of the game... I didn't even give my reasons for nominating you... It was mostly cuz it seems you're unhappy here... no hard feelings at all, but thank you for explaining ----------------------------- Moondance Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:58 pm Hey Luke... Hey Xenia! --------------------------- Luke Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:59 pm Xenia... take a look... go to Message Board and then Messages from the host, and then click on the link on the last post... Moon! How are you this evening? Man, i'm glad i'm here tonite... i have so much to talk about... I'm gonna fight my sleepiness, even for at least an hour... I've been dying to get back in here... |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:28 pm  BANKRUPTCY ZEBSCUSSION Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:17 pm Not much to add to what's already been said. High interest rates on plastic, the movement to charge a heck of a lot more than what was done just 10 years ago, and an increase in materialism. btw, does it seem weird that cards are typically sent to college students these days?? What, is the idea to get them hooked early in life?? It seemed like that not all that long ago most households has two things that were being paid for on time...the house and the car. ------------------------- Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:05 pm College students are prime targets for credit cards because they are at a point in their lives when they need to establish credit and they have no credit history. Usually by the time they get out of college, their credit history is screwed...for the majority. Credit card companies only care about one entity...themselves. Good luck trying to talk around their "fine print" when you talk to a customer service representative. Everyone should have one credit card, and really only for emergencies or to rent cars and hotel rooms. A debit card is great too. Any more than 2 cards and maybe one gas card is asking for trouble...in my observant opinion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THEME SONG DISCUSSION Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 08:44 pm The T-Shirt idea would be awesome! Thanks Moon, thanks Roger. Does anyone else have any suggestions on this version? ------------------------ Vykin Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 08:46 pm can someone tell me why my one small verse was rejected? ----------------------- Arreal Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 08:48 pm Awesome Zeb---hats off to the parody man. I think it's great. Thanks for the organization and thought you put into it, along with everyone else. It gets my vote for the finished product. WTG everyone. ---------------------------- Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:51 pm Vyk, I just grabbed the lyrics off the website and ran with it. Your lyrics were in the second set of archived messages and I missed it. I'm sure we can place them in there. In fact I'll put them in there now and repost. My only concern was matching the same number of syllables as much as possible to the original song. I'll post it up and see what we can do with it. --------------------------- Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:57 pm Ok, another version with Vykin's lyrics added. Sorry about that Vyk! ______________________ Well, you can tell by the way we write our posts, That we're special guests, not tryin' to boast.

You have a remarkable talent and it's cool that we had the opportunity to access to it and bear witness to it. Thanks Zeb. Since I know I can't come up with anything better, I say we go with it. Great job, Zeb. |

LOL Can everyone make it that wants to hear what I see? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE INTERNET CAMERA Vykin Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 06:51 pm Gee Arreal, its weird that your computer at 14,400K is so sporadic since it seems you can post sometimes and yet not other times. I myself have a laptop at 14,400K on standby in case my main puter crashes and had my son check how it works on the site and he had absolutely no problem getting to the tvclubhouse chatroom. He couldn't post anything because its on the same ISP for my puter. So I thought I'd let you know. I'm glad to see you were able to get in and do your nominations at least. ------------------------- Arreal Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 08:14 pm but Vyk, did you also know that it was a 7 year old Packard Bell that creaks and groans and makes noises so loud you can hear it upstairs? I can always get on, but sometimes it takes my puter 15 minutes to show a post that I posted. That is what is frustrating. What's an ISP? I never did say I couldn't get to the ClubHouse. I did my nominations yesterday when I knew that I could get them in. I didn't want to get p*ssed at someone and nominate based on emotions rather than logic. You got out of the nominations unscathed, right? I must also add that ADMIN didn't post all of my RR nomination explainations in here and that would have said a whole bunch more. I decided in the past week that winning would be cool. With computer problems like mine, would never hurt to have a burner. (Not that I know what one does, but hey.) I want the T-shirt bad. Why do I feel like I have to defend myself??? --------------------------- Vykin Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 08:52 pm Arreal, I have to sign off for a bit, but any of us can share of redroom posts in here if we choose. Perhaps we can do a folder that says: Sharing RedRooms. I don't know why you are feeling like you have to be defensive. I was just sharing info with you. My Laptop too is 7 years old 33mhz 8rams of memory. But I will say, come now, arreal, on your nominations without emotion. You nominated Tali last week, and this week you nominated me. Do you seriously think I believe, you didn't nominate with emotions? ------------------------- Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:35 pm Arreal: a CD burner will not help the performance of your computer. A CD burner is like a tape recorder, you take blank CDs and you "burn" or "record" things on the CD. For example, you can put music files on a CD then you take the CD and listen to it in your stereo. If you have files you want to save you can burn them to a CD too. You can put way more files on a CD than you could on a floppy disc. You need a CD burner to put stuff on blank CDs. Do you understand? Giblets: I want you to know I did my nominations before our rapport shifted. I would have still nominated you but I wouldn't have included the insult. ------------------------ Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 09:50 pm Also, Giblets, Arreal had said she couldn't get into chat because her "computer" does allow Java. I would assume it's not her computer, but that she is using an old version of her browser that does not support Java (the chat is in Java). Arreal: ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. Those are the people you pay so you can use the Internet. AOL, for example, is an ISP. -------------------------- Arreal Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:15 pm Thanks Xenia...I'm so ignorant when it comes to computers. So, AOL..is ISP...by George I thinkI got that. Vyk, Why then did I nominate Roger and Luke? I didn't nominate based on emotion. I explained why I nominated you and the other two. -------------------------- Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:25 pm Arreal, I guess I'm around, so I can hear you. No problem with what you had to say about mine. Your explanation is a damn good defense in my book explanation within the nomination I mean |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:57 pm  DISCUSSION TOPIC ON DEATH Luke Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:42 pm Hey everyone... It's Wednesday night, and I just got back from a vigil for the brother of one of my closest friends. As an organist, I attend a lot of funerals (to play music, of course)... but this is the first funeral in a long, long time where someone I know was deeply affected... The whole thing lasted about 2 hours, and this is only the vigil (the funeral is tomorrow morning). A bunch of us got together and formed a choir. There were some eulogies--one given by the deceased's brother-in-law, and another by some other relative. At the end, the minister called up the immediate family to the casket and asked them to pray over the body. At that point, I played a song on the piano and the choir sang... the song is a popular Filipino song, "Hindi Kita Malilimutan"... it means "I Will Not Forget You." At that point, everyone lost it. I lost it. My friends lost it. The entire choir lost it. I could barely see the piano keys, my eyes were so flooded with tears... I didn't even know this person--but to see my friend standing next to her brother's coffin... I couldn't hold back. But then something dawned on me. When I was done with the piece, I wiped my eyes, and then something came over me... kind of like that crisp cool breeze after a harsh rainstorm... It was a sense of relief, and a sense of calm... Like I had just let out soooo much emotion, and then the waters settled down... and I felt peace... I guess that's what funerals and vigils and viewings are for... For all of us who are left behind... There was some serious emotion being felt in that room... some really serious tears being shed. A lot of people feeling a huge, huge loss... But I'll bet anyone that after this is over, and after the funeral is over tomorrow, and the body is burried... there will be such a sense of peace that will overcome the family... The minister said tonite, "It's at times like these when we start questioning ourselves about the meaning of life." He was 100% correct... And we gotta do that from time to time... Shit... I know I got to! Hmmm I went into this evening feeling a bit down and a little nervous, not knowing what to expect at seeing a close friend of mine grieving so much... But now, I see how everyone who was there tonite will be at peace knowing that an inevitable part of life has taken place, and we've all had our chance to grieve. I can totally see the calm after the storm already start to settle in. ----------------------- Moondance Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:45 pm That was beautiful Luke ... thank you for sharing and I am glad you have a feeling of serenity now... Love to you & your friend. ---------------------- Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:46 pm Great comments Luke!! From out of turmoil comes a new look at things. Personal growth....doesn't it feel great!!! |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 11:09 pm  THE LIVING ROOM Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:04 pm I want to vent for a second... It pisses me off that people on the outside think I am backstabbing in the RR. God damn it, I pride myself on being an honest person and I know I been just as insulting and crass in here as in my visits. "Backstabbing" insinuates that I am being nice to everyone here and saying mean things in the RR. PLEASE!!! I'm being just as much of a b-tch here as I am in my visits. I resent that... Now, let me do my best Zeb impression and stomp my feet and pout. Hey Moon... I say we let you have the floor tonight Luke. ------------------------ Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:09 pm Thanks Xenia. I pretty much expected that from you. Like I really care. No, I didn't make her life a living hell. However, I'm sure you're willing to teach me that skill. --------------------------- here...

Sandyc | Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 11:11 pm  Sorry for double post. Computer is acting up. Neil must be playing around. |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 11:22 pm  THE LIVING ROOM ZEBULON Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:11 pm By the way everyone, I posted another version of the song with Vykin's lyrics added. Feel free to look it all over. ----------------------- Luke Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:11 pm Hey Xenia... Well I don't know about you, but now I'm really curious as to what they're saying in those discussion boards. I guess just like in BB, when the house guests didn't think that people would really know them, or knew exactly everything that was going on inside the house... i guess this first peek at what's going on in the discussion boards surprised me too... what do you think? Moon? did you see that link that the host gave us? --------------------------- Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:16 pm Zeb: Denial is such an unhealthy mind set to be in. I feel so sorry for you. Luke: The thing that I find most fascinating how interpretations can someone turn into fact (I saw a lot of that happen with BB discussions). Observers feel like they really know what is going on when they may not. --------------------------- Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:18 pm Ssssssssssssssss -------------------------- Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:22 pm Well, it looks like a few people have looked at the map already. Any areas you guys want me to target???? Luke, I've been listening to "Living Years" tonight in your (and your friends) honor. glad you are back. Zeb and everyone--great job on the song!! Xenia--for the what it's worth department, I believe you are a striaght up person with us--and most anyone else! Sorry, I've been posting discussion topics. Who all is here now?? Everyone--good nominations---I saw some good honest thoughts. I respect all of you for what you had to say. ------------------------ Luke Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:22 pm That's true, Xenia... they are basing all their posts on what they've read through our discussions and our redroom confessions... I mean, I know I've shared a lot about myself inside this house, and I certainly intend to continue sharing a lot until I get outta here... but i know that everyone out there that's looking on us inside have but a limited view of who I am... I don't think that I could put my entire self and express every aspect of my personality in this virtual house and in such a short period of time (1 month)... How do you think you will react once you are able to read all those threads that they're posting about us? -------------------------- Luke Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:24 pm A very good evening to you, Roger... i feel invigorated tonite. I'm posting tonite's experience in the Death. thread if anyone is interested. So did we finish the song? I've been reading through the posts, and for some reason, it doesn't seem clear to me if we're ready to post it or not... ------------------------ Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:24 pm "Ssssssssssssssss"??? Let me guess, this is your secret cue to your little pal Gail so that she knows it's time to change the polls to make sure you are not banished? I wouldn't put it passed her, or you. ------------------------ Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:26 pm Hey Luke....What's up? ----------------------- Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:28 pm You are so right, Luke. With the only mode of express being text, even if you wanted to completely express who you were, you couldn't. The one thing I will find the hardest is trying not to take people's comments personally. I worry about that. Of course, with you, you do not have to worry about being writing offensive things about you. Everyone loves you. How was your day, by the way? ------------------------- Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:28 pm Luke, I'll be reading your post! It sounds like you are doing ok. Xenia, can I ask that question I had last night from something you said to Moon? ------------------------- Luke Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:30 pm Hello Zeb... just getting settled in for the evening... good job with all the work you've been doing on the song! ---------------------- Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:33 pm You really want to hit me right now, don't you Zeb? I have to say, I admire your self-control... ----------------------- Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:35 pm Roger: Shoot! -------------------- Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:36 pm Xenia, Yes, Gail just sent me an ESP message. She said pulling such large thoughts out of your ass is so self damaging. -------------------------- Luke Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:37 pm I totally hear you, Xenia, about it being difficult not to take personally... which is why I'm really curious, too, as to what is being said in some of those threads... But as far as being loved by everyone...hehehe, I'm sure some of my fellow co-workers would beg to differ with you! We gay guys can have our "Super-ßitch" moments as well, that's for sure...! ----------------------- Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:38 pm You said that you wouldn't want to say if you wanted to stay because you would be admitting defeat. (I believe I got that right--correct me if not). Why would wanting to stay be defeat to you?? ------------------------ Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:39 pm Thanks Luke. I really didn't spend a whole lot of time on it, but hopefully it'll do. ------------------------ Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:40 pm Zeb: Damaging and a waste of time considering she'd much rather be experiencing whatever comes out of your ass. I still despise you for the way you judged Himay. And then I read your little "poor me" post above and I have to snicker. Here a woman chooses a new life and her independence over you--dumped you--and here you are taking it out on a woman you don't even know on a discussion board. Classic. ------------------------ Luke Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:45 pm Actually, Zeb, I've noticed that some of the best creative stuff that I've done has been a totally spur-of-the-moment improv kinda thing... so that's really cool! You still there, Moon? How was your day? I'm still catching up on some posts... are you going to be up much longer? Ugh- Roger... I think I'm gonna be busy tomorrow during your 10 minutes of freedom... I'll definitely talk with you more, though... that link that the host gave has really gotten me thinking... ------------------------ Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:46 pm "Why would wanting to stay be defeat to you??" Imagine this scenario: You tell me going on a rollercoaster would be a lot of fun. I argue that it wouldn't be fun; it would be scary and make me nauseous. I absolutely refuse to believe it could be fun. Somehow you get me on a rollercoaster (and I complain about it every second.) We take our turn and when it's over, you ask me how it was. If I said, I was right and went on and on spewing about how much it sucked, that would be redundant. If I said you were right, I would be admitting I was wrong. People who like to be right (most of the time) and who like to precise, feel that admitting they're wrong is like admitting defeat. Get it? ----------------------- Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:51 pm Yes, I get what you are saying. I offer this for your consideration--do with as you wish. Admittimg you are wrong is nothing more than saying you are taking reponsibility for learning something new. There is honor in learning something new. Just MHO Personally, I hope you have changed your mind and want to stay. You have one heck of a lot to offer----both to yourself and to us. Again, IMHO ------------------------- Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:55 pm Xenia, I'm flattered. I don't care how you feel about a valid conversation I had with HiMay that ended last week. Nobody dumped anybody. I challenge you to post something personal about yourself. Preferably not what brand of feminine pads you use...or did you include that in your bio? The list was so long. ------------------------ Moondance Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 11:00 pm HI Luke ... sorry I got wrapped up in your Death folder post... It was beautiful ... it is so important to mourn and It sounds like you have serenity now... It brought up some emotions in me so I took a few minutes to let it really touch me ... thank you for sharing it. Now, I am off to bed, I'm pooped.... I was late to work today as I got caught up in my interview last night I think Xenia needs to do X Magazine on Luke! Sweet dreams everyone... I will talk to ya tomorrow. ----------------------- Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 11:02 pm Seeya Moon! ------------------------- Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 11:04 pm Good night Moon! ------------------------- Luke Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 11:04 pm thanks Moon... sweet dreams... ------------------------ Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 11:09 pm Zeb: If you were here longer than five minutes a day, you'd see that I have posted a lot of personal info within these threads. I use Always Ultra Maxi Pads with wings, by the way. Ironically, I am using one right now. I've never used tampons and probably never will. I was thinking about using washable sanitary napkins as I have heard that if you wash them after use you can then take the blood and water and feed it to house plants. Apparently, it is very good for them. They are also more environmentally-friendly. Of course, if you could stop being self-absorbed for two seconds, you can ask me anything. |

I am trying to follow the Hosts responses on no outside contact. Though the Host said, they can't stop it. Considering the events of the past week. I have ceased and deceased on anything regarding this Game, that includes my friends. I'm not gonna get played for a fool again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THEME SONG CHALLENGE Xenia Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:11 pm Alright, I'll put my "hateful" opinion of Zeb aside for this post to congratulate Zeb on an awesome job. You have a remarkable talent and it's cool that we had the opportunity to access to it and bear witness to it. Thanks Zeb. Since I know I can't come up with anything better, I say we go with it. Great job, Zeb. ------------------------- Zebulon Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 10:43 pm Thanks! <he says in shock> ------------------------ Vykin Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 11:30 pm Zeb, I had to do a disappearing act for a while tonite because "My People" were on tv tonite. Meaning West Wing, Also had a meeting at my sons school about grad preparations. Couldn't put them aside. (Especially West Wing). Thanx for including my measly verse. I understand ur explanation, and didn't want the outsiders to think I didn't at least suggest something. thanx buddy (ED: that's it for me today. See you on Sunday.) |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 07:03 am  Wed. Oct. 18 - Thurs. Oct. 19 11:30 PM - 1:50 AM General Discussions: Death 10:42 pm Luke I just got back from a vigil for the brother of one of my closest friends. This is only the vigil, the funeral is tomorrow. A bunch of us got together and formed a choir. There were some eulogies . . . the minister called the immediate family to the casket and asked them to pray. I played a song on the piano and the choir sang a popular Filipino song, "Hindi Kita Malilimutan". It means "I Will Not Forget You." At that point, everyone lost it, my eyes were flooded with tears. Then something dawned on me. . . . It was a sense of relief and calm. I had let out so much emotion. I guess that's what funerals and vigils are for. For all of us who are left behind. There was some serious emotion. A lot of people feeling a huge loss. But I'll bet after the funeral is over tomorrow and the body is burried there will be such a sense of peace that will overcome the family. The minister said, "It's at times like these when we start questioning ourselves about the meaning of life." He was 100% correct. We gotta do that from time to time. Shit... I know I got to! Hmmm I went into this evening not knowing what to expect at seeing a close friend of mine grieving so much. Now I see how everyone who was there will be at peace knowing that an inevitable part of life has taken place and we've all had our chance to grieve. I can totally see the calm after the storm already start to settle in. 10:45 pm Moondance That was beautiful Luke ... thank you for sharing. I am glad you have a feeling of serenity now. Love to you & your friend. 10:46 pm Roger_Ramjet Great comments Luke!! From out of turmoil comes a new look at things. Personal growth... doesn't it feel great!!! The Virtual House Church 11:31 pm Roger_Ramjet Vyk, I'm leaving this story here for you. I found it, and thought that this was the most appropriate place for it. I hope you enjoy it: A poor, but kind hearted woman, found a letter in her mail box:Dear Ruth, To be in your neighborhood Saturday afternoon and I would like to visit. Love Always, Jesus Ruth wonders why the Lord is coming to her because she is nobody special and she has nothing to offer. The thought reminds her that she has hardly any food to offer her guest. She takes her last little bit of money and goes to the store. On the way home she meets a homeless man and his wife who say they are cold and hungry and ask if she would help them. At first Ruth says no but when they sadly turn to go, Ruth gives them the food she bought and her coat to the woman. Ruth was chilled and worried on the way home, without her coat and with nothing to serve her guest. At the door she finds another letter in her mail-box:Dear Ruth: It was so good to see you again. Thank you for the lovely meal. And thank you, too, for the beautiful coat. Love Always, Jesus The Improv Thurs Oct 19 - 12:07 am Vykin: CANADIAN CONTENT: A Canadian Classic: After the North American Beer Festival, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer. The guy from Corona orders "the world's best beer, a Corona." The guy from Budweiser orders "the best beer in the world, the King Of Beers, a Budweiser." The guy from Coors says, "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." The guy from Molson sits down and says, "Give me a Coke." The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask, "Why aren't you drinking a Molson?" The Molson president replies, "I figured if you guys aren't drinking real beer, neither would I. For I AM CANADIAN (For u Americans who don't get it, Molsons Beer in Canada has a huge, popular advertising campaign which now carries the catch prahase: "I Am Canadian". All hell you guys probably still don't get it, I'm gonna copy and paste and email it to Neil, he's Canadian, he'll get it.) Topic: Bankruptcy Rate Surpasses 1929 Crash Thurs. Oct. 19 - 12:17 am Vykin: Zeb, you said: Do you mean in your actual savings account or the savings portion you got back when you cancelled your policy? Answer: WHAT SAVINGS PORTION? I GOT SQUAT! I took the monthly premium that was going nowhere and started putting it into a separate savings account for my son. He has a savings account. But I was so angry with the insurance company. This way if my son needs extra cash while in university I can give it to him when he needs, it not when I'm dead and my wallet is empty. General Discussions: If... Thurs Oct 19 - 12:49 am Vykin 1. If you were granted one wish, what would it be? --To die before my son 2.

If you were going to initiate a new charity, what would be its mission and who would it benefit? --Substance Abuse: Mission would be to legally charge individuals who contribute to the abuse of the individual who is addicted.

(sorry... my other discussions got too serious) Thurs Oct 19 - 01:48 am Xenia: Some place for Zeb to lick up what his Master missed during his last bathroom visit. |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 08:06 am  Wed. Oct. 18 - Thurs. Oct. 19 11:20 PM - 1:15 AM The Virtual House Living Room Roger: Xenia, you up for another question? Luke: Hey everyone... exhaustion has gotten the better of me... it's been a draining day... roger...xen...zeb... anyone else who is in here... I'll catch up with you folks tomorrow... Peace! Roger: 11:38 pm Good night Luke! See you tomorrow. Have a peaceful sleep. Xenia, If you had you choice of getting any 35 mm SLR camera you could have, which would you pick for yourself? Xenia: 11:54 pm I want to do photo-journalism type photography. I am told the absolute best camera company is Nikon. The problem is, because of my lack of vision I need to have an autofocus camera. I don't have a problem seeing my subject, but focusing on it accurately is a huge problem. I've always used Minolta cameras and stuck with them. I narrowed my search to the Minolts XTSI. It only takes 2 shots per second (a good photojournalism camera takes 3-5 shots per second) but I'm told the XTSI has a fast autofocus. The camera I got on eBay is an XTSI. New it costs $600 (Canadian price) which is reasonable. I'll work with it for a year then invest in one of Minolta's higher-end models that will be better but still won't be as good as a Nikon. Why do you ask? Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19 - 12:03 am Photography is the only form of creativity I've ever found in myself. I was interested in your choice of SLR cameras. I took it as an art class in college because I am pretty much analytical in nature--in return for being better than average in that aspect, I lack just about anything in the other areas. I found a posible spark in photogpraphy, and got into it. A grueling class actually. I bought a Canon F-1 and feel in love with having to do everything manually. Sports work was tough though!! I had to sell it because I was not employeed for a year after getting out of school. I see advantages and disadvantages to the automatic cameras--just looking for a good informed opinion--and saw you as someone who could provide one. Xenia: Oh my God... I just read Julie London died! How incredibly sad. DO you remember her Roger? SHe played the nurse "Dixie" on the show "Emergency!" I love that show! Roger: Yes, I remember her and the show! She isn't that old is she? Zebulon: 12:08 am I've got to be going, but before I do... Thanks for that information Xenia. As for me not being here more than 5 minutes, it's because I'm posting elsewhere. Finishing up challenges you don't even participate in. No wonder your ass is getting booted out. Practice what you preach honey. Later Roger... everyone Roger: Zeb, I'll see you tomorrow. If there is something you are specifically interested in me looking at tomorrow, post it in the #6 challenge section. Xenia: [to Roger] Julie London was 74. Wow... I never would have guessed that. She was so pretty in her day! As for photography, the thing I like about it is the contrast between the old and the new. It's no wonder you were drawn to it-- it is a very logical task. It's like you can read a book written about photography 20 years ago and the information is still current. The advancements with digital photography are also stunning. Have you thought about getting a digital camera? Roger: I haven't thought about a digital camera or any other at this time. If I got back into anything, it would probably be home brewing. I would do photography if I wasn't working. I would want to devote a decent amount of time to it. Do you have a pretty substantial portfolio of your work? Xenia: Roger, I have to vent to you about Zeb's little outburst. He is such a moron. He makes the comment about me getting booted, yet two of us have to leave at the end of the week and he's going to be the other one leaving. No one will vote for you, Roger. I think people would vote for Zeb before they would vote for Luke. But I do feel bad about not participating in these challenges. One: I suck at group activity and do much better on my own. Two: just when I start getting ideas, someone else has dominated the discussion and solved it. It's his passive/aggressive behavior. I swear to God, I believe he abuses women. Ok, I'm done venting. Roger: No problem venting. If you want to vent some more you are welcome to. If you got it out of your system, that is great too! Xenia: I do but I don't. Thanks for letting me vent. If I were to go on, I would just be repeating myself. Zebulon: <plays a fiddle for Xenia's sob story then exits> Oh, and I do not abuse women. Thanks for the thought, psycho. Xenia: Go f-ck yourself, Zeb or get some help regarding your abuse problem... you need it. Roger: [to Xenia] On the issue of challenges, I thought you have participated pretty well. If we had 3 songs in a row to do, I'd be buying pizza and beer a lot. I am not any good at that, and certainly not fast enough for our time frames. You certainly contributed to the puzzles. Xenia: You give me too much credit about the challenges. With the last puzzle, I couldn't be here for the final hours. I have tried with the previous ones though. I got into photography seven years ago after I read the book Bridges Of Madison County. When I was done, I wanted to be a photographer. I was working for an urban weekly as a writer and I asked my editor in January if I he'd publish my photos-- he said he would if they were good. By June I was shooting covers for the magazine. The only stuff I have in my portfolio is stuff that was published. I'm thinking of starting some Web e-zine to give myself a place to put photos and interviews. The only problem is there are so many e-zines out there already. Beer brewing? I know it's a hugely popular hobby. I'm not familiar with it. Generations of my family made wine instead. Why beer? Roger: 12:28 am I like the flavor of beer--good beer. I can brew beer and make any type I want--from the lightest to the darkest beer. That's pretty great that you had covers so quickly. It would seem you have a natural gift for it. That is neat. Do you like large format cameras?? I've never used one, although I've seen some pretty nice units! Xenia: I would be a bit nervous using a large format camera. But they do create amazing results, don't they? I do have a confession though. When I read the title of that thread about me backstabbing I tried to think of what I said in RR visits that I never said here. I referred to you as a "pansy-ass" because you're always so nice. But after our chat, I realized you're not a "pansy-ass", but someone who is level-headed. Roger: If pansy ass is the worst thing you can think of for me, I'm doing pretty damn good! I can live with that. In here I probably do look like that. I don't think my intensity comes out here as much as it does in person-- plus I keep a lot of it inside. Xenia: That makes sense about the beer. I can't totally empathize because I don't drink, but I can see why it would be a cool challenge to get the exact flavor you want. What do you do during your time off? Just rest and rejuvinate? Roger: If you do get annoyed at me, that's ok. If it happens it will be due to something the real me did. I can handle that! LOL You are welcome, btw, and thanks for your nice thoughts. Xenia: Damn it. Men like Zeb have always bothered me. They're the ones who always get in your face with the "I don't have a problem -- YOU DO." attitude. I look at his responses about violence against women and his lack of sympathy and I wonder if he is hurting someone right now. I should let that go... Roger: No major issues for me to get too worked up about. Much like BB, the outside world is a lot tougher. (at least for me) Xenia: 12:36 am By the way, Roger, did you enjoy working in the darkroom? Some people approach developing as though it were an art form, but it is a very technical task. Roger: Drak room was great! Spent lots of extra hours because I wanted to learn lots-- seemed for me to do so, had to get my hands into it. There is so much to it! Years wouldn't be enough! Xenia: I've never used a darkroom before! I have tons of equipment, but it just seemed easier to go to a photo place (even with black and whites) and make alterations after I scanned them. Roger: I bet you'd be good in a dark room! That natural talent would come out quicly in your work, I bet! Roger: Are you spending as much time in your padded room as you did at first? I see Vyk is bringing you OJ. I consider that nice of him. Xenia: It was nice of Giblets. I'll make a few more padded cell visits before I have to leave on Friday. This whole thing is funny to me. I don't care if I win because, one, I never wear t-shirts that have any kind of lettering or print on them and two I already have a CD burner that I love. So, when I get booted it won't matter to me. You know Roger, you are our "Cassandra". I have yet to become annoyed by you. After this all ends, I'll get the chance to analyze it all. I know I will have learned something from the way you conducted yourself. And I thank you for that. Roger: I have a simple life-- pretty much work and sleep. Once in awhile a beer, or a bottle of wine with dave--a guy that likes great wines as much as I do. Big steak to go with the wine, and a flick like Matrix or a Bond movie. Xenia: The psychology major in me wants to say you are probably avoiding soemthing in your life and that's why you work so much. Are you avoiding something and does work fill a void? Roger: My divorce was my reason for doing extra work, along with my kid moving out because he was old enough and wanted to get out on his own--very independent that guy. So all this energy I had given to the other stuff had to go someplace. I love the work, and just splitting meant I wasn't into any relationship-- need to move on before that could happen again. The work just kept going, as my enjoyment for it increased, and since I wasn't lonely, and I don't seek out relationships, I just kept going on as was. Xenia: Are you nervous about getting into dating again? Roger: Nervous about dating?? No, not at all. If someone seems to matach up to what is important, no problem dating at all. Not much makes me nervous-- probably not knowng something does it the easiest! LOL Xenia: Check out a few photos I saw at a Web site recently and tell me what you think. Hang on. You have to check out these and tell me what you think: This is what I mean about colors and patterns: http://www.photographyreview.com/project/gallery/files/07.asp [ed. she lists several pages from the same site with different photos] Judging from all of those, I think I like simple images that really speak to the imagination. Roger: The first two are really neat--- doing things I'd never think of--- I just capture what is already there. The last 3 look like what I take. To me very "mathmatical"--if that makes any sense. Xenia: I know what you mean. The first two were more artisitc and the last three were more about angles and depth of field and more technical. Xenia: You once mentioned you don't have many material possessions. Is that a conscious choice you made? Roger: Material things---I don't need many to get by. I have that one chair, although sit on the floor most of the time and use it for a rest! LOL. Just a "spartan" kind of guy in that respect. Didn't set out to be that way or not be that way--if that makes any sense. Do you surround yourself with a lot of things? Xenia: I surround myself with a lot of books and symbolic things that mean something to me. I have crappy furniture and not a huge wardrobe. That stuff isn't important to me. When it comes down to it, I'd rather spend money on books or technology --productive things -- rather than aesthetic things. I made a cross-country move a few months ago and it was so liberating to get rid of so much accumulated stuff. Ideally, I would like to keep my possessions at a minimum. That's why I asked about your motivation. I wondered where it came from. Xenia: Were is everyone tonight? Arreal must miss these chats with you. Roger: I don't know if Arreal does or not. She has said on a couple of posts that she gets into something, then all of a suden she just looses interest and goes to the next thing--she said no reasoning behind it. I can go with that. I hope you try it sometime, if you want to, that is! Who would you like to talk to more? Xenia: Who do I wish I could talk to more? Maybe Luke? I liked him right from the beginning and I wish I could have gotten to kow him better. Also, I'd like to know more about Himay. Roger: How you feeling after nominations? Xenia: Re: Nominations: The results didn't come as a big surprise to me (in regard to me being nominated and the amount of times). I was initially surprised to see you nominated, but it does make sense as people see you as being competition. At this point, I really don't care about it all. I'm neutral. How are you feeling about nominations? Were you surprised? Roger: I'm feeling good about nominations. I am comfortable with competitive people. Many voted bcause they wanted to win and went for who they thought was competition. I respect that -- it is a game! I agree about geting to know May more. I like her from the interactions so far! Luke is great-- n opposite of me-- very art/right brained is seems. I'm left brained-- numbers and chemical formuals take up my brain most of the time! |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:14 am  Thurs. Oct. 19 1:10 AM - 2:12 AM The Virtual House Living Room Vykin: 1:10 am I got held up in the IF folder. Roger, I read posts yesterday about one of your sons. Tonite, I finally saw the post, which I had previously read in the Death Folder, don't know how I missed the part about your son having had spinal meningitis. They say it is such an ugly thing to happen. Death most often is so quick and sudden. I am glad your son survived. I was concerned about meningitis when it seemed to hit a number of young kids my area a few years ago. Scarey thing to occur. On another note. I really meant to come in here and chat longer tonite. Tomorrow, when I have more free time, I'll let u know about my trip to the doctor. Sorry Xenia looks like I'll survive a little longer. May have enough time to throw a few darts at you, jury is still out. Roger I spotted those links Xenia has posted all i can advise is: Be careful-- you may go where no man has gone before. -- Nite all. Xenia: That Giblets! ALways expecting the worst of me! Roger: 1:14 am Vyk--thanks for your comments--we cn talk more on it when you are feeling better--take care friend. See you tomorrow! Vyk, I left you something in the church. Xenia: I missed reading about your son, Roger! How do you work your way through something like that? This is why I am freaked about having children. Is the suffering worth the experience? Roger: Suffering worth the experience?? For me, yes! Like I've said in here before, the greatest rewards take the greatest risks--especially in terms of people. The thing with my son was pretty easy for some reason. Just took me by surprise. Of course something is wrong to have to acll the ambulance, although they thought it was an eallergic reaction or something--spots on him and not responding. I'm sitting there, the doctor walks in with the hospital priest, and says my some has a 50% chance of passing right away, and of the 50% for life, 50% of that he'd be a veg. I have 1 minute... Xenia: OH MY GOD! I can't believe you were faced with having to make that decision! OH MAN! It had to have changed your relationship with your son. What happened after he got out of the hospital? I can't even imagine what that would have been like! What did you do? Roger: Made a choice in less than 1 minute. Had to consider that whatever choice I made, I had to live with it for the rest of my life. I also considered how Aaron is in life-- determined, stong, bull headed, confident. So, taking all of that into consideration, 10 seconds later I told the doctor to do everything he could. Ended up being a no-brainer to me! Roger: It sounds like you have a good handle of where you want to take yourself -- just not sure if you should go there? Am I correct on that one? Xenia: I have a lot of ideas and a lot of knowledge and enough common sense to set a goal and achieve it. My greatest downfall is that I procrastinate... Roger: Procrastinate -- or are you unsure of yourself -- don't want to try so that you can't fail-- having to admit you were wrong? Xenia: Re: Procrastination: No, I don't think it's a fear of failing. I wish it was then I could figure out a way to deal with it. Everything that I have tried, I have had a degree of success at so I do have confidence. I just have this bad habit of putting things off and waiting until the last minute when i am forced to make a critical decision. It's the stress of being forced to make a decision that fuels me to take risks. No stress=no action for me. I have to change that. Xenia: Now back to you: So let's say you met a chick and you guys started dating, would you work less to accomodate the relationship? Roger: Yes to the time question. A way to switch my energy to a situation I'd be enjoying. I think it's neat that you keep the things important to you close by. Shows you are in touch with youreslf! Well, it seems so anyway. Do you think you are? Xenia: Good and timely question! Because I don't spend a ton of time with people, I always thought I knew myself pretty well because I spent so much time examining myself. I recently moved to Montreal-- a prodominently French city. I don't speak French -- and I realized, I am have been alone a lot before, but I had many, many distractions that kept me from getting to the core of who I am. Here, I don't have those distractions. For example, I used to spend a ton of time at the library. Here, 80 percent of the books in Montreal libraries are in French, so I am being forced to face myself. It's proven to be difficult because I don't always like what I see coming out of me. And what about you? With all of your experiences have you come to a place of deeper acceptance and understanding? Roger: I came to total acceptance during the ages 13-15. The experiences came after! I had a realization young in life of the importance of going through this painful process. I have comtinued all my life, although I got through the acceptance and understanding by 15. Arreal and I have talked of this. She had a few questions about herself doing this, as she seems to be going through it--as are you! The question I get asked is it worth all the pain-- and there is defintely pain! It's the key to everything you can think of. It doesn't prevent one from making mistakes, although, it's what allows you to deal with anything . . . becuase you've already faced the toughest thing you will ever face-- yourself. Xenia: Excellent point. I would also add that if you don't take those risks and don't accept that pain is part of the process, then you're really not living. Roger: Everything changed with him. He went in a very responsible person. Brains out of his ears, cared about people, loved sports, loved to excel, loved to work hard at whatever he did. After healing, he turned to drugs and quit being an active participant in life. Everything was about him and just having fun. He experienced believing that nothiung really mattered-- that life was to enjoy and responsibility did nothing for you. As you can imagine, that is not my approach to things. We agreed to disagree (with very intense talks until he turned 18-- a year.) He took off for Oregon and I didn't hear from him for about a year and a half. So, you like to make choices under pressure?? Hey, if it works for you... Xenia: 1:45 am I have to go to bed soon. It's almost 5 AM here. Before I go, tell me how you're feeling about going to "the other side" tomorrow. Roger: Other side--- no real feelings. I see it as a task--- look for whatever anyone says they want to know about-- if they don't, I'll pick things. Read fast, remember a lot, and bring it back for you guys! A simple step activity... does that bother you I look at it as such? Xenia: 1:55 am Hey! I was the one who initially campaigned for you to go! I have total faith in the way you would approach the task. Hopefully your son will come full-circle and find balance. That takes time but, at least he's know able to be better empathic now that he was experienced "both sides of life and death". I say, continue to have patience with him. Thank God, he has you, an open and understand parent to come back to when his life does take another change. I am off to bed. It has been fun! Everyone enjoys talking to you Roger! And I am glad I got to have my turn. Final thoughts before I go? Roger: 1:58 am My son has come through that circle for the most part... he sees where he wants to go and tries to do as much as he can. He ask for help only when he really needs it. He talks to me when he needs to, other than that, he wants to try it himself. He knows I am there and don't turn him away. He has said that all the things I told him, he knows as being true and right. He will do good because he wants to do it himself. He reminds me of someone I know... he is me.(except I never went the other route first.) Good night Xenia-- feel free to provide any final thoughts you have before going!! I have enjoyed to night and hope we can do it again. Xenia: 2:00 am Have a good night. Roger: 2:01 am sleep well......... zzzzz Roger: 2:12 am <Sitting here in LR by myself now---talking to self> It was really great talking to Xenia... much great conversation. Vyk--- I hope he is ok-- I hope the best for his test results. It looks like I will turn in really tonight--- only 2:00ish No one around-- a nomination night. Game is going great-- will turn to 6, and people will get even tighter with each other... last nominations will be tough for some... easier for others. The game is great--- it gets into your blood. I look forward to the rest of the game... no matter what happens. <leave LR to get into bed---it's been a day> |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:40 am  Xenia's Padded Cell ***KEEP OUT...OR ELSE*** Xenia: Thurs Oct 19, 2000 - 2:53 am So, it has come down to this: Write something or lose your mind. *** *** *** Tepid blood is drizzling down the tip of my left index finger and flowing toward the palm of my hand. Like my quest for intense passion, I fiercely clutch the white handle of a paring knife and I realize for the first time where my loyalties lie. I would never bleed for anyone. My childhood bed had once been as soft as a cloud of baby powder. Tonight I felt how the endlessness of disappointment had turned it into a slab of stone. A man I barely know is sleeping on it now. Earlier tonight I was drawn to the brashness of his hunter's scent. His hungry whispers evoked my savage touches. At first I scraped at the shield that protects his heart as I moaned while fire jetted through my arched back. Then I dug my fingernails into his back muscles wanting to steal any love his soul may be concealing. I discovered quickly there was nothing for me to take. And now I stand barefoot in my kitchen, a room constructed of stainless-steel logic, and I find solace in the orange rectangle of cheddar cheese standing at attention on the cutting board in front of me. The chill from the refrigerated brick lingers upward and cools my chest. Positioned like a spotlight, a full moon gleams through the exposed window pane. I can see the gentle curves of the solid mass I count on to make me feel better. The pieces I had cut before the knife sliced my finger are obediently waiting to please me. Heavy with comfort and memories, I know they will bring me the rapture I am yearning for. I would never bleed for anyone, but I would for cheddar cheese. Vykin: Thurs Oct 19 - 6:20 am (quietly I slip a note underneath the door of the padded cell) Xenia: No food for you today, you were a bad, bad girl yesterday. Vykin needs psychiatric confinement, couldn't take the stress of your nomination. Turned into a werewolf and howled all nite long. Internet Camera Xenia: Thursday, October 19 - 5:08 am 2 more days... General Discussions: If... Himay10ns Thurs Oct 19 - 8:01 am 1. If you were granted one wish, what would it be? [she didn't answer] 2. If you could, in retrospect, change one thing about your childhood, what would it be? I would like for parents to have argued in front of my sister and I. They always kept their disagreements to themselves. So I grew up believing that in a perfect relationship, you don't fight. When I have problems in a relationship, I just assume it's over because I never learned that you can fight and still be loved. 3. If you could have chosen your first name, other than your current one, what would it be? My real name is Lucy and I have to admit I hated it as a child and was teased unmercifully. But now I love it because it's a name you don't hear very often. 6. If you could foresee a single day of your future in its entirety, what date would you select? I'd like to see my own wedding day. 7. If you had to be someone's body part, what would you be, and on whose body? I'd like to be Nicole Kidman's vagina. 9. If you had to eliminate one odor from the earth, which one would you get rid of? The smell of necrosing wounds. 11. If you had to recall the worst date you've ever been on, which one was it? I once had a guy ask me to dinner. When we got to the restaurant, he asked for a basket of crackers, a bowl of ranch dressing and some jalepeno peppers. He unwrapped all the crackers, and dipped them in ranch dressing and topped them with a pepper. He called it the "poor man's appetizer". 12. If you had to sacrifice your own life for one thing, what would it be? It would be to save the life of a family member. 14. If you could eliminate one habit you have, what would you stop doing? Smoking. 15. If you had to name the dumbest purchase you've ever made, which would it be? It would have to be the car I'm driving now. I went through a bit of a midlife crisis 4 years ago and purchased an expensive sports car. I absolutely hate it now and wish I was driving something more sensible. |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 12:45 pm  Thursday, October 19 New Banner: ANGELS LOVE YOU MOONIE! http://moondance-fans.50megs.com/ The Internet Camera 10:56 am Moondance: Good Morning!!! Thank you so much for the new banner! A great way to start the day! That was so much work, I can't thank you enough. Oh & thanks for including the Hamster dance. I love the discussions happening lately. Having some regrets on some of my noms. It was hard! Hope to get back after work Arreal: 12:06 pm Ahhh Vyk. How subtle you are. Feel free to share what my IM's said to you. I do believe they asked why you were being so 'pissy' about me nominating you. Which is exactly what I have asked you about in here, but you don't wish to answer. I do, however, wish to thank you for trying so hard to try to make me look bad in here. I am certain it is working. Kisses hon. To my friends of the Outer World--- Hi all Things are going well for me lately. I'm staying happy, happy, happy. I speculated earlier about what Zeb would do if he got hit in the face with cherry pie filling. I think he noticed, but his reaction was less than hoped. I loved the way that he worked so hard on the recent musical challenge. He put together some good stuff. "Typin the jive" lol (GAIL-you gave up a good one) Anyway, I was impressed. I also want you all to know that I'm NOT stressed or down. I'm looking forward to tomorrow and hoping I get my other puter back. If not, I have gotten used to this one and it's dysfunctions. I want to assure you all that I do NOT need a break. I miss my buddies out there and hope all is going well for you. (((Group hug))) Katie, Whit, Laf, Nor, Gail, Gloria and all the others. Thanks. Have a sunshiney day. General Discussions: If... Roger_Ramjet 10:08 am May--what is your car? And should I ask about that mid-life crisis? Himay10ns 10:34 am Roger, I drive a champagne Nissan 240SX Coupe, loaded! It wasn't really a true mid life crisis. I was driving a paid for Honda Accord at the time and I felt like it was a "family" car. I was getting depressed about not being married, so I impulsively bought my little sports car. It's the most impractical thing I own! I can't even fit my groceries in the trunk. And don't even think about putting someone in the backseat! LOL Roger_Ramjet 10:57 am LOL! I can fit groceries in the trunk pretty well. The backseat--I know what you mean by that! hahahahaaa I didn't even bother to put down what I bought brand new last year!

Noslonna | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 03:30 pm  Thursday, October 19 - 1:25 PM - 3:00 PM The Hot Tub Luke: 1:25 pm Eewww... how yucky a hot tub can get when nobody has used it for two days! What is this stuff? Looks like coagulated... um... Yuck! anyone want to join me in here? Moondance: 1:32 pm I will!!!! Hey you! Luke: 1:36 pm Moon! Wow! A fan website! You're going to be handing out autographs pretty soon, I tell ya! How is your day going? I just got back from lunch... am really stuffed and am feeling like a nap! Moondance: 1:42 pm Naps are great after a good meal! Sounds like you are at a good place with everything... very cool. That site is pretty cool... a lot of work was put into it... I thank them so much! I liked your banner yesterday. loverboy! Luke: 1:45 pm Loverboy! hehehe... I wish... I'm still getting used to the fact that I'm single again! The memorial service was this morning but I took the whole day off. I figured I could use it... and so I thought I'd do something I usually don't have time to do when I'm working--and that's sleep. Moondance: 1:51 pm I didn't take dance class because I am not feeling too hot ... sore throat so I thought I would take it easy too. Did you get some sleep? Taking care of 'you' is so important especially during stressful times. I get flashes sometimes and it just came to me that you are going to meet someone in December so work on closure fast! I know I am weird but I am usually right on. Xenia: 2:03 pm Hey Luke! Hey Moon! Sorry for interrupting. I'm only here for a minute then I have to go. I was just really curious about two things Moon. Yes, more questions... When I went to your fan site and looked at your photos, it seemed to me you look considerably different in the b & w ones than you do in the one where you are sitting in front of a monitor. I understand the lighting and make-up were totally different for the black & whites, but I also wondered, were those taken recently or in the past? Then I realized when you mention your age you always refer to yourself as a "thirty-something" woman (that I have seen). How come you don't ever state your precise age? I'm just curious... Moondance: 2:12 pm I am 38... the b&w were taken 2 years ago ... professionally done makes a difference. The one in front of my computer ... recently. I have no idea why my hair looks red because it isn't! I am about 12 lbs heavier now because of all the surgeries and treatments. Do I look that different? Now I am depressed! Xenia: 2:20 pm I knew that in the black and whites you were "glammed" up and I know how insufficient normal lighting can be. But you look great in all of them! There's just a contrast I wondered about. And thanks for spilling your age! Ok, I'm outta here again. We will catch up to each other and talk about photography. I'd love to hear about your experiences. Catch you later... Moondance: 2:22 pm Luke are you still there? [ed. no answers] General Discussions: If... Moondance: 2:31 pm Finished the rest of my list: 1. If you were granted one wish, what would it be? ---My family and I would have good health always. 2. If you could, in retrospect, change one thing about your childhood, what would it be? ---Bring my Dad back or maybe I could have convinced him to stop smoking. 3. If you could have chosen your first name, other than your current one, what would it be? ---I love my name and my Native American name. 6. If you could foresee a single day of your future in its entirety, what date would you select? ---That special moment when I have met the 'one' 7. If you had to be someone's body part, what would you be, and on whose body? ---Lucile Ball's Brain 8. If you had to name your single worst fear, what would it be? ---Abandonment 10. If you could be on the cover of any magazine next month, which magazine would you want it to be, and what would the caption say? ---Esquire Magazine ... How She Conquered Hollywood 12. If you had to sacrifice your own life for one thing, what would it be? ---My loved ones! 13. If you were given a yacht today, what would you name it? --Sage 15. If you had to name the dumbest purchase you've ever made, which would it be? ---??? 16. If you were cremated, where would you want your ashes scattered? ---The Appalachian Mountains ...

Noslonna | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 03:45 pm  Thursday, October 19 -- 3:15 PM The Internet Camera Vykin: [to Arreal] Arreal you said: "I do believe they asked why you were being so 'pissy' about me nominating you. Which is exactly what I have asked you about in here, but you don't wish to answer." Response: read my last post, The Last Line Should Explain it. If you don't understand I can't help you any further. You crossed the line with me on this issue, when you created the suspicions in Rogers, Lukes and others minds about me, and you IMd me with a threat: "Remember Vykin - Cut & Paste" You also said: "I do, however, wish to thank you for trying so hard to try to make me look bad in here. I am certain it is working." Response: You brought it all on yourself. You could have taken the high road, and revealed Tali's alleged role in a better way. But you chose to cast suspicion and doubt onto my credibility to the other game players. You deliberately set out to attack another player in the game with one purpose in mind: To make Tali/Gail whatever her name is look like an ass to the outside viewers and the inside viewers. You called me a liar. I don't lie. You also disgraced and publically humiliated the Host of this game. You used me because you knew I was an unknown player. You couldn't trust me when I said my motives in playing this game are honest. As far as your comment: "I'm certain it is working", I don't care if "it" is working or not, I know whether I get banished or whether I anm lucky enough to win this game, that I will have played it with integrity, and I can walk out of here with my head held high. And If You Still Don't Get It: I find it a vile act in my real life, and in the "virtual world", when I see someone deliberately and succinctly "executed" by other people. I, personally will stick up for the victim, if I to the bitter end. That is my "benchmark" toward any human being I come in contact with. Arreal: [response to Vykin] Vyk, My last post to you. I believe it was you who said the Tali, you and Neil issue was behind us and you would discuss it no more. Well? Since you bring it up, may I remind you that Gail and I did make up and public expressed our desire to get to know each other on the outside. I trust that since she is out there and has knowledge to everything, including our RR reports, that she still feels the same way. Vindictive behavior is something I don't engage in. As I explained in numerous other posts, my INTENT was NEVER to harm you Gail or Neil. I also apologized for making poor decisions and for hurting you three in the process. Back then when I referred to "cut and paste" that you spoke of, I wish you would not take things out of context. I was telling you, in my sarcastic way... which I often use... to feel free to cut and paste anything I say to attemp to use it against me. I know I have said NOTHING to put you, Gail or Neil down. I am ashamed of nothing I have said in private or otherwise. I have ALWAYS told the truth and you are still free to cut and paste anything and everything I have said. It was not a threat. I do have one more question for you to ask yourself... Who is the 'victim' you are fighting for now? |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 06:34 pm  Thursday, October 19 The Internet Camera Zebulon: 3:25 pm Hello Camera. I didn't think it would happen, but I honestly found someone I couldn't care any less about. Yesterday, I made a post and Xenia quickly twisted it into something that she wanted it to be. She did the same thing about the challenge today. I can't stand people who post tabloid thoughts and lies. That's fine, though. This Game will be the highest point in her pathetic life. It's best she gets her anger out now instead of her emotionally exploding when she's a frail Old Maid. Vykin: [response to Arreal] 5:06 pm Arreal: you wear me out but in answer to taking things out of context and to your last question. Its easy to say I am taking something out of context when you know that nobody can see what you Im'd me. Further, I know who the victim is in all this and it sure wasnt you and it certainly isn't me. Now lets go back to playing the game! We can have a discussion about everything after we are out of here, I am willing to commit to that. |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 07:05 pm  Thursday, October 19 The Virtual House: Living Room Roger: 3:52 pm Hello all! Who's around right now? Vykin: 4:10 pm Roger I just got here, give me a few minutes I just finished catching up on conversationin this room. I have a bunch of things I want to say to you. Roger: 4:13 pm Hi Vyk--I'll be around--still working, although checking in freqently--is everything ok?? Vykin: 4:20 pm I got your message in the church. I enjoyed your's and Xenia's discussion about photography. I too Love taking pictures. But I hate the High End cameras, with all the different lens attachments, etc. It seems to me by the time I changed a lens or attach a filter, add a zoom, the moment had passed. So I went to a camera dealer and asked him for the best camera I could get with all my needs in a compact form. I was advised to buy a Nikkon Zoom Touch 500. I bought it for $500.00 in 1990 and have never regretted my choice. Regarding the turn your son took after his illness. Just recently I heard, studies have found people who have suffered with meningitis have had the types of changes occur as you described with your son. I never realized it can leave psychological ramifications. In '94 was in a car accident. A 4x4 with a winch kissed my car. My neck was damaged, but seemed to heal. Later I began having crucial pain. X-rays showed a slight fracture. Neck Brace seemed to solve it. Last year began having excrutiating pains. Put it off (I hate doctors). Now it seems, the very doctors who thought I had a slight fracture, think they may have miscalculated, perhaps it wasn't so slight. Thus, yesterday, more tests, more theories. One being, gee perhaps there is an old growth in the area. So go figure. Catscan was fun though. Oh of course, I won't know what the final theory is until 10 days. The concern is to ensure my neck isn't in a position to be broken at some future date. (Though in here one could easily find themselves hanging with a noose around our necks) lol. Anyways painkillers have subsided the pain, which includes migraine like headaches. Roger: 4:48 pm Well, that pretty much sucks---did they take away driving from you?? Vykin: 4:50 pm Roger you live in Washington state, you've probably heard about Robert Yates, the serial killer in Spokane. I'm gonna set up a folder, on serial killers. Would be interested in your opinions and whether you have followed the unfolding events of Yates Roger: 4:53 pm I haven't nearly as much as Arreal has. She lives in Spokane!!! I just can't figure humans out... I do have opinions though. Moondance: 5:09 pm Vy... sorry to hear about your neck ... so you have to wait 10 days to find out anything? That stinks ... nothing like the 'unknown.' Did they take any blood tests etc...? Headaches ...uurrghh ... it makes ya feel like doing nothing at all because you just can't get comfortable. Roger: 5:12 pm Hi Moon! How are things going for you today? Moondance: 5:15 pm Hi Roger... fine thanks... things getting better at work? Hey did you see your fansites?... the links are on my new fanpage... the banner flew this morning... your sites are great! Roger: 5:18 pm <Plugging in sarcasm amp> Oh, much better! Things seem to be improving! haha New Banner: ROGER, MY ARE ON YOUR ASS, BUT I WON'T LICK YOUR TEETH! www.angelfire.com/weird/goramjet Moondance: 5:23 pm Hey did you just see your Banner it just flew ... go look I am sorry things aren't better at work... go check your sites!!! I am so excited for you! Roger: 5:44 pm Hey, where did everyone go?? Damn, it's that pesky BO again, isn't it?? (smelling armpits-- wow doggy, man, it is!-- LOL) Moondance: 6:04 pm you never answered me!!!! Roger: 6:10 pm Oh, sorry--No, I didn't go look at the other sites on your site--just looked at your site! I looked at my site from the banner. Pretty cool. They included the Roger Ramjet cartoon information-- that was cute. Ok, so now everyone knows that Lance is on Roger's cartoon. Lance Crossfire, ace test pilot. Boy, I hope you were asking about your above question on the sites??? If not, I'm an idiot right now-- LMAO Less than an hour to go before you guys get to hear some information from "the other side"... are you excitied at all about knowing information?? Moondance: 6:36 pm Good Luck tonight! I am glad you saw your sites... they were great... looks like Jana did mine and she worked so hard on it... I guess I owe her a t-shirt Roger: 6:39 pm Those T-shirts--hot commodity! Will you be around shorty after 7:00?? This place is a ghost town right now! Arreal: 6:45 pm Hey Roger, Have fun out in the real world, and red fast. You going to post what you saw in here, the living room? Roger: 6:48 pm Arreal, yes, planned on coming back, here in the LR. Moondance: 6:55 pm Hi Arreal ... we will wait here for you Roger! Roger: 6:57 pm Thanks-- see everyone in a little while. |
Noslonna | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 12:21 am  Living Room 7 PM - 9:20 PM Arreal 7:01 pm Hey Moon beam, how you doing today? (((Moon))) Arreal 7:14 pm I like taking pictures also... got my Rebel and I went out and bought a nifty zoom lens for it. The zoom lens comes in handy. It is definitly needed for taking fast action shot of things far away. I often take pictures of my daughter ArReal in her gymnastics meets. 1000 speed film and a zoom. I got a beautiful black and white of her doing a full split leap on the balance beam. Timed it perfectly. She was about 3 feet off the beam and in full split. She also landed the leap perfectly. It was great how the picture captured something so fast and amazing...something the human eye couldn't even fully appreciate. Roger 7:15 pm Hold on while I start my computer up-- I'm on someone else's-- mine locked up while in there, and I had this one ready as a backup Moondance 7:19 pm Arreal... I love B&W ... sounds like you have a great camera! Oh Roger is back... That was FAST! Roger 7:28 pm Well, 10 minutes went so fast!! Of course my computer locked up (it was acting funny) so I had another ready. Well, it is interesting over there. A number of folks want the challenges to move faster... not give us as long to pick people for rewards etc. They came up with an idea to vote someone into the house.... some for, some against. A lot of discussion on that one I couldn't look at. Some folks thought the game was way worse than BB... some like it really well. All over the borad on that one!! There were comments on how slow it can be, on how people that use (((hugs))) are... well... lame, so to speak. I didn't go into any thread about a specific person with only 10 minutes. There was number of issues with making it better next time--- so at least people are looking at it and thinking in a constructive way. Many thought there were too many posts by us to follow when they are looking only once in awhile (I'd agree!) cont... F*uck Nuts!! I had a big ass post about the rest and my machine locked up as I hit the button to post. I'll go in smaller chunks-- my machine is being weird tonight. Here we go again... Ok, the folks liked the RR posts-- or so it would seem. They wanted them posted faster so they were available to look at. I didn't go into anyone's RR posts-- I promise! There was discussion on the people they thought if voted out would ruin the game-- this is because of traits. Soome wanted the high energy folks in, others thought they were a distraction. Lots of posts about sugestions for challenges, so it would seem they follow those along pretty well-- although didn't read enough posts to know for sure-- just lots of ideas. I think those are usually born out of interest in that portion of the game. cont.. Ok, this is working better... They root for their favorites like in BB... saying what they like about one person, what they don't like about another... they get on each other about the opinions.. or at least it seemed that way as I skimmed quickly. Want to see more or less of--- that is all over from one extreme to the other, just as what is best and worst over all. Mushy posts are hated by some, loved by others. Nice people are seen as anywhere from boring to great. I saw a number of comments about no moderators in future games... I couldn't work through the threads to see how much others wanted to have that.. Think of how we all posted about BB.. the likes the dislikes... that's pretty much how it is with us.. and they jump on each other just like everyone did with BB... LOL Wec all have fans and we all have folks who would rather not see our posts.. again just like BB There were comments about rooters that I noticed in passing... just like we picked at each other for thinking someone was great or someone was bad-- it seems similar there too. Breath Roger... I get the feeling of a lot of energy from some of the folks... using caps as I skimmed, using the clipart...that is only an opinion, as I could really tell from specific words.. take that with a grain of salt. I saw some frustration with Host/Admin, although some were quick to the defense, as it is something new with bugs to work out!! With the sheer number of posts and the number of topics, it seems clear there are some that have worked through all the aspects of the game and us pretty damn well!! I think it helps that they know us, at least to some degree--- there were a few topics about who we were, and I didn't go int those.. figured by now they know, so whatever discussion they had was of less value for me to look at than other things-- just to let you know it was a point for them to go over though!! Are we liked?? Yes and no-- as all the other HGs in BB. Just as I would have figured-- no one can be loved by all! LOL! Questions?? Roger_Ramjet 8:06 pm I'm back-- need to hear what you have to say to see if my brain is jogged for anyhing else. Oh, one I saw that most of the posts I skimmed was the idea of having a part of the house where 2 people could talk, and no one else was supposed to be able to hear... Arreal--wasn't that your first "we need a..."?? Too many posts to tell if there were folks that didn't like it. Also, many seemed to think the house had too many rooms!!! Too many places for them to go trapsing through!! LOL--we had the same thing to say!!! That was great! I just couldn't tell you if we thought of it first or they did (I didn't look at dates) Some liked the discussions we came up with-- some liked some of them--- didn't see anyone say they didn't like any of them, although again, didn't have the time to look at all posts on the threads about that. Oh, for reference time wise, I looked mostly at what was more current-- didn't go back a lot into archives because of time contraints. So, if there was some major thing at the begginning of any topic, I missed it folks. Roger: 8:15 pm -Any one here??? Moondance 8:34 pm You did a great job Roger! Sounds like a rush... over all what do you think they want the most from us ... the least? Roger 8:41 pm That one was really hard to tell specifically. So many different views--- I think to be entertained... although it is hard for us to do without putting on a show??? The least was even harder to tell--- there were lots of differrent things they didn't like... yet for everything not liked, there were folks who liked what they didn't. Does that make sense?? Xenia 8:55 pm Who had the most fan mail??? Just kidding. Roger it's like you have a photogenic mind. I knew you'd succeed at this. You absorbed a ton of info and reported it objectively. Thank you for putting so much passion into it. Roger 9:02 pm Xenia, thanks for your comments-- having so little time to read so much makes it hard to get specific, although forces one to just go for the "flavor" of things.. maybe we are better off for just knowing that! lol It would appear that I posted to close to an empty house?? I picked a bad time??? Maybe there wasn't that much interest in what is on the outside?? That could be!! Zebulon 9:10 pm That's photographic mind, moron... unless you take pictures of people's heads, Xenia. WTG Roger! Anything specific about me? Moondance 9:11 pm Roger... made sense what you were saying to my question ... over all could you tell if we should be doing anything different to make the game better? Or are we on the right track? Roger 9:13 pm Not that many will hear it-- I just wanted to say that I don't know what Host did as far as hiding how voting is going or if she didn't hide it at all. I intentionally did not go into the threads called voting polls and voting ???? (the ? means I don't remember what the word(s) was. I didn't want to take a chance on seeing that information. Zebulon 9:14 pm I apologize all for my attitude and I know it's hostile towards Xenia, but I DO NOT abuse women like she suggests. That's the exact thing that is pissing me off. Zebulon 9:17 pm That and her lies about the song not being up for discussion and me taking it over and blah blah blah. Roger_Ramjet 9:19 pm Boy, that is a judgement call... depends on how you or any of them defines "better". I get the impression that however we change it, we'd have those that liked the changes and those that wouldn't. Like the mole issue-- some hated it, some the opposite. I believe over all they feel we are playing ok. It's hard to play any "better" if you are trying to be true to your charcter/self. One factor is that there is no visual, no sound, or no movement. It's all written, so few senses get used by those watching. I didn't see a post that put in terms like that... don't know if there was one or wasn't-- just something I thought of in terms of what people like to "see" (experience) |
Noslonna | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 12:57 am  Zebulon Thursday, October 19 - 1:24 pm By the way, did you all see that we could get more time outside or something for the song? Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:24 pm Zeb--threads with all of our names on them. I didn't go into those..they were multi-posts, and one for each of us...I decided to go for "bigger picture" stuff...my responsibility not looking for individual stuff. I know that the entertainment factor--specifically the posts like you and Zenia exchange, the ones betweewn Tali and Arreal--some think those are the life of the game, others feel they are a "distraction" to enjoying the game...so in terms of that alone we all have likers/detractors!! lol Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:27 pm Yep, saw we can basically ask for our own reward. That is pretty cool. Moondance Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:29 pm Don't know where everyone is.... strange I didn't mean for 'us' to change to make it better... you just mentioned that they wanted us to react to the challenge more etc... what I meant was... if there was an overwhelming suggestion over all... not to us but to the game you did sooo good Roger! Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19 - 09:34 pm Oh, ok...no one overwhelming suggestion....lots of little ones, although there could have been ones early on since I didn't get into archives----most did agree to making the house with fewer rooms. I'm not sure if that was overwhelming---didn't count up how many---it was the most consistently agreed with that I saw. Thanks Moon. Are you around awhile tonight to talk photography with Zenia?? Zebulon Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:40 pm Oh, I have no doubt that most exchanges with Xenia are a distraction. They're a distraction to me. I would much rather have a normal conversation, but that is way beyond Xenia's capability when I'm in the room because she's all scarred about my minor confrontation with HiMay last week. Xenia is a "grudge queen". I pity her but I just move on... Moondance I am not feeling too hot... i think I am getting the flu?!... So I may turn in early tonight. I will try to stay up as late as I can. I liked reading about your convo with X last nite... I too enjoy photography ... I love the dark room... I understand you do too. Moondance :43 pm Hi Zeb... Hi Xenia... I wonder where Arreal went? I miss talking with her Zebulon Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:44 pm Hi Moon. What's going on tonight? Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:44 pm Hey Moon, I looked at the pictures on your fan site---as much as it might piss you off with having those professionally done photos, I liked the last picture of you best of all--the one at the bottom, kind of curled up with the cat. It struck me as a very expressive picture of you. The most attractive too--maybe because of the perceived expression within the photo?? Just MHO Xenia Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:46 pm Right now, you're fantasizing about beating me up, aren't you Zeb? You punish women who make mistakes and who anger you, don't you? Men like you make me sick. You need help before you hurt anyone else. Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:48 pm Ok, two of you! Where did Xenia go--that would make 4 total---(ducking from Moon reading my opinion about her photos) Zeb, I saw your posts about rewards. That lyrics on T-shirt idae may have been the best thing I've come up with since being here...I thing it would really be cool! Other rewards would be nice that were more inclusive of all--hard to pick which is best! lol Xenia Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:50 pm Hey Moon and Roger!!! I'm not going to stick around while Zeb is here. It's a matter of principle for me. I don't want to associate with someone who hates women as much as he apparently does. Moon! If you're not feeling well, you should get some sleep! I'll check back in a bit. If Zeb is gone and you guys are still here, we'll talk photography! But in the mean time, here's a question to mull over: What makes a good photo? The photographer or the technology the photographer is using? Later... Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:50 pm Xenia--that makes 4. I'm not going to get into the arguement, although would enjoy talking about most anything tonight.....anyone??? Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:52 pm Xenia---for whenever you come back, I have an answer for you about what makes a good photo.... Zebulon Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:54 pm Xenia? Men like me? I seriously doubt you've had a man like me in your life. You're too used to the ones that beat you into psychotic babble. (sorry for the egotistical comment all) Zebulon Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 09:55 pm LOL! I don't hate women, Xenia. I just don't like you and your slander. Zebulon Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:00 pm Yes, that was a good idea Roger. Maybe T-Shirts with the song on it will be made available for purchase by the HGs that get booted. Just an idea. Moondance Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:03 pm Hi guys... No, Roger... I like that photo too... one of my favorites. That is my kitty Shilo. Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:07 pm I'd like to see if Neil could get it done so it's reasonable price for many. I'd pay a pretty penny myself for one--many can't afford extra though. Hey, Moon--you have connections with anyone that knows the BeeGee's?? Maybe they would donate a demo, and we could get copies for TVCH folks!! LOL! (and I fly) Immunity some how?? An extra 2 weeks of the game (I hit the floor, expecting artillary fire from HOST) Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:15 pm done by frinds or by yourself as a self-portrait?? Zeb, shirts around! There would be a set up price to do the lyrics, so the more made, the cheaper per shirt. I'd pitch in for some of the set up price as well as buy a couple three myself! (looking to see if HOST is watching, thinking she may not have heard the comment about 2 more weeks) Zebulon Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:20 pm I just want one for myself. Personalized shirts would be even better. Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:23 pm By set up costs, I meant to have the lyrics added. Sorry for the confusion. If you meant just a t-shirt with no lyrics, sorry for that confusion as well. Moondance Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:25 pm Hey Zeb... it's real easy to do an iron from a printer... I know mine does it. Roger... were you talking to me about the pix? Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:26 pm Yes--sorry Moon--didn't specify--knew it in my mind, just can't thought project yet! lol Zebulon Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:29 pm I need to make a RR visit. Sorry everyone... Moondance Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:41 pm The B&W were professional for my agents...commercial, theatrical and for dance auditions ... the one with me at my desk (the first one) is funny because it makes me look like I have red hair and I don't ... it also doesn't really look like me ... but it was done with a self timer and I ran to get the pix... it looks like I sat on something and it scared me! lol... the one with Shilo was taken by a friend because everyone thinks its funny how much this kitty loves me! Xenia Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:45 pm Hey guys... I need to make a double-post to ensure Zeb sees my gratitude. Sorry for interrupting. Zeb: Thank you. I appreciate that you can take a step back from your rage to consider my feelings and respect my boundaries. You truly do frighten me and when you attack me I feel vulnerable and unsafe (even if it is just on the Web). I hope one day you can embrace you anger and your pain and come to terms with it. I have a feeling there's a loving person deep inside of you. But the monster who hates women and wants them all to suffer keeps the loving Zeb at bay. Please get help. PLEASE. Roger_Ramjet Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:48 pm Moon----I could tell the B&W were work pictures. Do you like the professional ones that attempt to bring out your best fetures or set specific "mood" (not sure if that is the right term for you), or do you like photos that are "just you"---no contrived product in mind?? Just curious. I did a self-portrait for photo class---I was sitting in the shower on a chair, naked, reading a book with the shower pouring water down upon me. My strange sense of humor surfacing just a little. Do you take many pitures of other actors?? Hey, anyone else joining in?? |

Noslonna | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 11:33 am  Thursday 19 - Friday 20 Living Room Zebulon: 10:55 pm Hi Everyone again. I need to make a double-post as well in response to Xenia: Xenia, Suzanne and I still keep in touch. I doubt that would happen if I was the person you said I was. Get help yourself. I'm so over you. Luke: 11:02 pm Back for the evening. Before I say anything: ROGER --- THANK YOU AND CONGRATS ON DOING A KICKASS JOB! Moondance: 11:04 pm Luke, have you seen your Fan Sites yet? They are great! Luke: 11:06 pm How are you feeling Moon? Better? Taking any medicine? You should be getting some rest! Zebulon: 11:06 pm Hi Luke! Welcome to the party. LOL! Luke: 11:07 pm WHAT? I have fansites? Where? I've been away from a computer all day long. I had access for about 1/2 hour, and then I crashed (bang!) asleep for like 3 hours. It's been nonstop all day. Been trying to update myself on Roger's posts for the past 10 minutes. He did an awesome job I knew he would! Just reading everything has gotten me so psyched. I'm glad I took a nap today. I'll be awake for at least 2 or 3 more hours, so i'll be here chatting for sure! Zebulon: 11:10 pm How do we know if we have fansites? Where are they posted? Oh, you mean the banners. Moondance: 11:16 pm Luke, your fansites are links on my webpage. It came on a banner this afternoon. Go check it out. Just look under links on the site. Roger: 11:17 pm Sorry for being gone a couple of posts-- still doing work. Luke, glad you joined in. Thanks for your comments. Computer problems during slowed me up a bit. Zeb, you tired, or are you doing ok? Moon, are you getting your butt licked by the bug? Luke, it sounds like you have some energy going on big time! lol Luke: 11:20 pm Hehehe. That's my personal website. Vykin: 11:21 pm Zeb, if you can't find your fansite I'll share mine with you: http://hometown.aol.com/vykinfanclub/ What are everyone's thoughts on choosing our own reward any ideas? Zebulon: 11:26 pm I'm fine. Nobody's spoiling my party anymore. Roger_Ramjet: 11:27 pm I'm still thinking on it-- between something for all or something for a couple-- leaning toward the something for all thing. Moondance: 11:27 pm Ya know, I don't care how old I get, when I get sick, I want my MOM! She would bring me Ginger ale and everything would be better Roger: 11:31 pm Vyk, how are you feeling? Moon is getting sick, and you are hurting from other things. Anyone else experiencing anything? Moondance: 11:32 pm I am heading off to bed... Night Prez. Hang in there Zeb... I love ya. Roger always a pleasure. Luke my friend. Xenia, good night. Give my love to Arreal if ya see her! Vykin, you feel better, rest your neck! [Zeb, Luke and Roger say good-night to Moon.] Zebulon: 11:39 pm It's 1:30 AM here. I've got to get some sleep. I'll hopefully get to talk to everyone tomorrow before chat time. See ya. Roger: 11:44 pm Zeb, have a good rest, and we'll be talkng tomorrow at chat/banishment. Vyk, you and the neck up for some chat? Are they having you wear a neck brace? Vykin: 11:54 pm Roger the something for all seems more appropriate. Tylenol 3 kicked in. Yeah, they want me to wear neckbrace, but I had to do a presentation to 100 people today, and my ego forced me to leave it at home. I just came back from Red Room, glad to see the 'Gator back, I didn't trust the person who took over. (LOL) Also created a few more folders, (its gonna be a long road to Oct 30, if any of us get there) I have made a commitment to get to bed before 12:30 am tonite. In fact I better stop by the Church and make the promise there, maybe I'll keep it. Did Luke go to bed? Roger: 11:59 pm No, he said he'd be up, although haven't heard from him for awhile. Zeb gave up the ghost, as did Moon. Luke, you still kicking? Luke: 11:59 pm Still here, catching up. Missing a few hours in here is missing a lot! I'll be here for tomorrow's chat... wouldn't miss it! Kinda nervous, though, about the banishment thing. Roger: 12:01 am Yes, at times that sure is the case! lol Luke: 12:09 am Hey Roger-- good thinking about having a backup computer for tonite's 10 minute thing. I have a question for you. What were you most surprised with out of what you saw on the outside boards? Roger: 12:16 am I was most surprised by the number of new names on the board! After that, how much support the game has (although not everyone is super impressed). As I mentioned in reporting back, we lack a lot of things that made BB work for us. They can't see or hear us. Considering it's just reading from a few threads with names, it sounds like it's going ok. I think if we were on the tube, with all the senses being able to be stimulated, I figure we could be more popular with our folks out there. The overall slant is about what I was guessing--- same folks (with additions) so a great variety in what is thought--- that one didn't surprise me at all. Any thoughts from what you read? Luke: 12:21 am I guess one thing about BBFC, was that opinions vary as to whether people like the volatile personalities or the calm personalities. I compare more BB stuff (and I guess, this game as well) with BB in Europe. It seemed everyone always voted to banish those who had more abrasive personalities and rooted for the more easier-going houseguests. I guess in this country, we have just as many people who want to see heated conflict as those who want to see a happy family. Do you think of these two opinions either was more prevalent in the outside discussion boards? Roger: 12:27 am That one was impossible for me to tell, considering the way I went about looking at the threads and posts. I would have needed to look specifically at those threads and at all the posts within them. I couldn't have looked at those alone in only 10 minutes--- too many. I think there is an appreciation for the effort, unless I misunderstood the basic "feel" of things. When they do the second version I would bet that a large number of people would apply. Don't you think that if 10 people could get out of it the kind of feelings we are getting, they'd take a shot at it? Luke: 12:34 am Definitely. This house is everything I hoped it would be and more. I considered myself really a long shot to getting in here. I do think, though, that the coolest rush will be the one we get when we start going through those outside boards. My eyes are closing already, Roger, but I'm kinda nervous that this might be our last opportunity to have a LNC. [ed. late night chat] Roger: 12:41 am Luke, there will be more opportunities to have a LNC. If it pans out that one or both of us leave this house, I will be posting outside. I'm sure Admin can point us to a place to have LNC. I will still have them--- just need someone sitting across from me-- you are invited to continue out there. For you to decide! There is always a way. Oops, and easy one-- email! haha Let me know what you think of continuing in that respect. Luke: 12:46 am I didn't think of that! that's true. I'm definitely going to continue posting and I think you're the kind of person that I'll probably continue communication with for quite some time. I came into this house at such a weird time and would have loved to have gotten more involved with stuff but with my breakup at the beginning and then this week with the funeral, it's been so busy! Therefore I am a bit unsure about how the viewers will vote. At any rate, I'll be posting all day tomorrow (will be back at my desk with a fast internet connection) and I am definitely not going to leave here (whether tomororrow or at some other point) without posting some more comments on the discussion topics. But my energy is once again gone for tonite. Will see you tomorrow... er... later on today. Roger, hope your night is restful! Roger: 12:51 am I expect we will indeed talk for some time to come. I'll be in meetings during am, and boss' day lunch. Afternoon should allow me to check in and say hi. Have a good night Luke. Roger: 12:58 am <talking to myself, just like always> I want to make a mental note to myself about what is really important in getting us though anything. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. Roger: 1:05 am Xenia, are you around and interested in chatting? . . . It would appear not. Hope you have a good night Xenia -- take care. Xenia: 1:30 am Oh crap -- I missed you Roger. I just finished a RR visit and came and saw your last two posts. Hopefully, we can catch up with each other for a few minutes before I get booted tomorrow. Have a good night. |
Noslonna | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 11:48 am  Thurs Oct 19 - Fri Oct 20 The Internet Camera Moondance 6:52 pm THANK YOU JANA You are an ANGEL. You worked so hard on my fansite. I loved it! I love & miss you! Love to all - Katie - Digilady - Nos - Ocean - Aven - Affin - Flint - BoyToy - Orkro - Everyone! Xenia 8:52 pm WOW! Zeb has really got his shit in a knot today! I personally think he needs to chill out and focus on much more important things. For example, since he's floating around here trying to impress any woman he can (Gail and Moon for starters) probably because he wants to replace what's-her-name--the chick who woke and realized what a twit he was and moved to get away from him. And if he's going to be doing that, then we should be telling about all the RESTRAINING ORDERS past girlfriends have taken out on him. I think women who get involved with Zeb have the right to know. Then again, didn't he say something about living in Texas? How hard would it be to find out his true identity--all his personal info--and do some digging myself? Look how upset and angry he gets. Don't you think this guy is dangerous? I'll start by finding out his ISP and work from there. And an e-mail address wouldn't hurt. All those hours I read about hacking and social engineering are going to pay off. That's the evil of the Internet--you're never truly anonymous. I'll keep everyone updated. Zeb will never hurt another woman again. Zebulon 9:04 pm I can't believe I actually came in to retract some things, but I see they are more true than ever about you, Xenia. Keep preaching, but you're not reaching... Xenia 9:42 pm P.S Zeb: The phrase "Old Maid" refers to women who are older who are not in a committed relationship. You do know that when you use that phrase you are inadvertently referring to ALL women who are older and single. You might want to re-think using that term considering the woman who you want so desperately to like you, Moon, is single and she is older than me. If you want to continue to impress her, you might want to adjust your prejudices. And as a sidenote, Himay is also older than me and single. Zebulon 10:23 pm Nice try at diversion, but the comment was singled at YOU and YOU only. Besides, I don't believe in online relationships because they are too much like long distance relationships. You know --like the story you keep embellishing about me. Again, you know nothing about how I am because you don't take time from your ranting to find out. Vykin 12:11 am Evening, ET Call Home. If anyone is listening, do you know the words to Reba McIntyre's song: Is there life out there? Charitable Foundation Donation Ideas: - Bring back Bruce Springsteen Fund
- Bring back Garth Fund
- Help Save Vegas From Elvis
- Drown Barney and bring back the Cabbage Patch Kids.
I bid u all a good nite. Go Habs! And if you can't do it this year, then Just Go Away. Xenia 1:05 am Giblet's have you lost your mind? Since when has Canada been "your country"? If had been paying attention to any of this, you would have clued in that I am in Canada the day the Thanksgiving banner was flown. Xenia's Padded Cell ***KEEP OUT...OR ELSE*** Zebulon 9:21 pm <throws in a chunk of raw meat> Vykin 9:59 pm ROFLMAO BIG TIME. Can't laugh quietly. Zeb, was it beef or pork? Zebulon 10:09 pm I couldn't tell. It disappeared before it hit the ground. Xenia 10:09 pm Would you guys get the hell out! Go explore each other's bodies in the hot tub or something. Giblets, I thought about you while I was in Canadian Tire today. Zebulon 10:16 pm Really? Were you trying to inflate one with your mouth? Xenia: Zeb, I know how much you want to hit me. I can tell you have an anger problem. I beg of you, please get some help. Please. Your anger could get out of control and you may take someone's life one day. Do something before that day comes. Taking your anger out on me will not solve your problem. I plead with you, get some help. Zebulon 10:17 pm Xenia, don't be such a drama queen. You have no idea who I am. You don't take time from your ranting to find out. Xenia 10:22 pm Zeb, Stop this anger. You're starting to really scare me. Please don't take your rage against me out on an innocent woman. That is what I most fear--that when you're away from your computer you find an unsuspecting woman to hurt. I will call the police, Zeb. If you continue to let this get out of hand, for the safety of all women, I will call the police. Please stop verbally abusing me. Please leave this thread. Zebulon 10:26 pm <the curtain falls as the crowd cheers> oops... no crowd Xenia 10:42 pm Thank you. I appreciate that you can take a step back from your rage to consider my feelings and respect my boundaries. You truly do frighten me and when you attack me I feel vulnerable and unsafe (even if it is just on the Web). I hope one day you can embrace you anger and your pain and come to terms with it. I have a feeling there's a loving person deep inside of you. But the monster who hates women and wants them all to suffer keeps the loving Zeb at bay. Please get help. PLEASE. Zebulon 10:51 pm Xenia, Suzanne and I still keep in touch. I doubt that would happen if I was the person you said I was. Get help yourself. I'm over you. Vykin 11:14 pm (slips another note: Xenia, I knew eventually I would infiltrate your real life! Canadian Tire, the locals in my area call it, Czechoslovakian Tire. p.s. I didn't know you are living in my country - how did you sneak by immigration?) Zebulon 11:24 pm I guess they don't search livestock trucks. Xenia 12:48 am I asked you to please stop verbally abusing me Zeb. Do you always push yourself upon women like you're doing with me? Have you ever been arrested for sexual assault as well? I can imagine how physical abuse and such rage can turn into something even more hostile. I can only just imagine how many lives you have ruined because of your issues. Xenia 1:02 am *** *** *** *** *** Thanks to Zeb and Giblets the sanctity of this room has been broken. Before I shut the door forever, I want to quote from the book "A Course In Miracles": Lesson 293: All fear is past and only love is here. All fear is past, because its source is gone, and all its thoughts gone with it. Love remains the only present state, whose Source is here forever and forever. Can the world seem bright and clear and safe and welcoming, with all my past mistakes oppressing it, and showing me distorted forms of fear? Yet in the present love is obvious, and its effects apparent. All the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and 1 perceive a world forgiven at last. Father, let not Your holy world escape my sight today. Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the world is singing underneath the sounds of fear. There is a real world which the present holds safe from all past mistakes. And I would see only this world before my eyes today. Xenia: The door has now been shut. |
Noslonna | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 11:54 am  Friday Oct 20 Xenia's Padded Cell ***KEEP OUT...OR ELSE*** Vykin 7:10 am Whoa Xenster what do you mean the door is now shut? You finally hit on a subject I'm familiar with. I did the Course in Miracles. Could have filled up our time in lock-up with many quotes. But then again, I'm sure I'll see you here building another padded cell by the time the day is over. Zebulon 9:48 am ** locks the door with Xenia inside ** Whew! ** tosses key in trash ** I've done my good deed for the millennium. |
Noslonna | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 12:16 pm  Church Vykin: Thurs Oct 19 - 11:57 pmHey Big G, I came to make a promise before you eyes: I, Vykin aka Erdyn aka ThePrez aka Optics aka Vykin, (I've come full circle haven't I?), do hereby promise before your eyes, in your house, that I will go to bed before 12:30 am. Heymen Zebulon: Fri Oct 20 - 10:52 am <prays silently> Zeb tells story: One day Mrs. Jones went to talk with the minister at her Church. Mrs. Jones: Reverend, my husband keeps falling asleep during your sermons. What should I do? " Preacher: Take this hat pin. When Mr. Jones is sleeping I will motion to you. When I motion, you give him a good poke with the pin. In church the following Sunday, Mr. Jones dozed off. Preacher: And who made the ultimate sacrifice for you? He said, nodding to Mrs. Jones. She jabbed Mr. Jones in the leg with the hatpin. Mr. Jones: Jesus! Preacher: Yes, you are right Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones nodded off again. Preacher: Who is your redeemer? He said, nodding to Mrs. Jones. She jabbed Mr. Jones in the leg with the hatpin again. Mr. Jones: God! Preacher: Right again, Mr. Jones Before long, Mr. Jones dozed off again. This time the minister didn't notice. As he picked up the tempo of his sermon, he made a few motions that Mrs. Jones mistook as signals to wake her husband again. She was just sticking her husband with the hatpin again when the minister asked: Preacher: And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore him his 99th son? Mr. Jones shrieked: You stick that god damned thing in me one more time and I'll break it off and shove it up your ass! Thus ended the sermon... |
