Pass this by... you don't care.

[Monte314]

Sometimes I think that we might be getting a little one-sided, what with all our in-depth analysis and philosophical posturing. It could be time to plumb the other end of the spectrum.

To this end, I have started this thread to give us an opportunity to post our least interesting mirco-stories. One paragraph tops... and nothing that anyone would care about.

I'll start:

My Journey
by Monte

I went to the store, and picked up some... whatever. Prices were about the same as usual. Then I came home.

--The End

[TheLastMohican]

By the time I finished the chapter, I was very hungry, so I ate. It turns out I had forgotten to eat breakfast, so I ate breakfast for lunch and lunch for dinner. Dinner would have been too late, so I went to bed.

[ssrprotege]

I woke up, sit in front of my computer, played games, surfed the Net, doodled some on my notebook; then I felt immense boredom, so I slept.

Edit~ I edited my story because of faulty parallelism.

Edit~ I edited my story because of faulty parallelism.

Yeah! The "parallelism edit" is a provocative innovation I have not observed elsewhere. Freudian? Certainly. Existential? Perhaps.

INTERESTING?? Without a doubt.

[azelismia]

hmm are my toenails too long? (testing scratch against other foot) can kind of feel it. does it matter if they're a little long? I suppose there are some edges. I might damage some socks if I don't cut them but, that would mean going up stairs and finding the toenail clippers and it's so hot here. I'll just try and remember to do it later.

[notoppings]

It's 10:30 and I have to get up at 3:00 AM, I still can't sleep. Oh well I guess I'll be tired tomorrow.

[ssrprotege]

I don't know much about existential/Freudian business, but it is certain that I failed it...it's not "least interesting" :(

[tp6626]

Woke up this morning, felt knackered and slightly ill. Decided that if there was no change for the bus on my bed side table, I wasn't going to work. There wasn't any. Laid in till 11, got up, contemplated not being at work and my future. Spoke with a financial advisor about mortgages, and then went for a nice walk round the shops in town. I have effectively time travelled, I now have 3 hours left before my normal routine recommences!

[Neuro]

I wanted to prevent the room from getting warm so I turned the fan on the floor on. I set it to the medium setting because I didn't want it to be too loud. For some reason I didn't test how loud the high setting actually was (not my fan, you see), and when I realized this I tried it out and was pleasantly surprised how quiet it was.

[rewhu]

I once had a cat that I named Franklin. I thought the cat was male but it turned out to be female. I never changed the name.

[IgnoranceIsKind]

I've been feeling guilty alot for the past few days, mainly because I haven't been getting work done. Instead, I'm wasting time playing lousy computer games. I have dreams for my life ahead, but my every action now which plays a big part in securing my future doesn't exactly reflect anymore than an average job in an average office, earning an average wage, with an average wife. I do not wish for this. I must harden my will against laziness. I will be indefatiguable.

I woke up to the sounds of my Korean neighbour shouting about how his pet spider monkey Zolulu won't learn to cook his daily oatmeal or nightly porridge.

Did I do it right?

This isn't my thread but I'd vote no. A monkey learning to cook? That sounds way too interesting.

My Journey
by Monte

I went to the store, and picked up some... whatever. Prices were about the same as usual. Then I came home.

--The End

The 'whatever' is a bit interesting. I would have suggested 'Twizzlers'. But that's just a nitpick. Overall an excellent starting example. So don't blame yourself for some of these stories!

By the time I finished the chapter, I was very hungry, so I ate. It turns out I had forgotten to eat breakfast, so I ate breakfast for lunch and lunch for dinner. Dinner would have been too late, so I went to bed.

Love the repetition. Very mundane!

I woke up, sit in front of my computer, played games, surfed the Net, doodled some on my notebook; then I felt immense boredom, so I slept.

Edit~ I edited my story because of faulty parallelism.

Poor story structure and weird spelling/grammar. Remember it's supposed to be boring, not annoying. The edit note completely spoiled the rest.

hmm are my toenails too long? (testing scratch against other foot) can kind of feel it. does it matter if they're a little long? I suppose there are some edges. I might damage some socks if I don't cut them but, that would mean going up stairs and finding the toenail clippers and it's so hot here. I'll just try and remember to do it later.

This is not a story and is therefore disqualified.

It's 10:30 and I have to get up at 3:00 AM, I still can't sleep. Oh well I guess I'll be tired tomorrow.

Also not a story. Lose.

Woke up this morning, felt knackered and slightly ill. Decided that if there was no change for the bus on my bed side table, I wasn't going to work. There wasn't any. Laid in till 11, got up, contemplated not being at work and my future. Spoke with a financial advisor about mortgages, and then went for a nice walk round the shops in town. I have effectively time travelled, I now have 3 hours left before my normal routine recommences!

Started off good but there are some pretty big things in here all in one day. Maybe you're a high powered lawyer or something and this seems mundane to you. Satisfactory though!

I wanted to prevent the room from getting warm so I turned the fan on the floor on. I set it to the medium setting because I didn't want it to be too loud. For some reason I didn't test how loud the high setting actually was (not my fan, you see), and when I realized this I tried it out and was pleasantly surprised how quiet it was.

Perfect!

I once had a cat that I named Franklin. I thought the cat was male but it turned out to be female. I never changed the name.

Too funny and interesting. See, you just wrote it in a boring way, but this would normally inspire a good conversation or yeah, at least get a good laugh normally.

I've been feeling guilty alot for the past few days, mainly because I haven't been getting work done. Instead, I'm wasting time playing lousy computer games. I have dreams for my life ahead, but my every action now which plays a big part in securing my future doesn't exactly reflect anymore than an average job in an average office, earning an average wage, with an average wife. I do not wish for this. I must harden my will against laziness. I will be indefatiguable.

Dreams? Direction in life? Existential crisis? GET BORING FRIEND!

You're kidding.

Creative but totally pathetic and unsatisfying. Good job!

OK but you lose points for repeating le Duc's basic post in a less creative way.

9:09 pm in a quiet Irish flat, Azrael sat in discomfort. He farts. Relieved and contented he tell his tale.

You were beautiful until that last sentence, man. You can't tease people like that. I'm interested to know the story. Could be a good fart story!

This Evening
by TPH

I lay on the bed, wireless keyboard in hand, surfing... whatever, on the web. Some time later, my mug of tea is cold and my back hurts. Just a minor tingling, but it makes me ponder how long I've been here. All of a sudden...

I'm starting college in a few weeks. I need to buy textbooks. I feel bad for people who buy textbooks at the sticker price. That's a lot of money.

[notoppings]

Me no follow instruction.

An optimist buys a new hunting dog which could actually walk on water, pleased with his purchase he decides to take his pessimist friend hunting to hear his reaction.

They fire a duck falls the dog runs out to retrieve it the dog walks on water only getting his paws wet, this happens several times. The pessimist watches this without saying a word.

On the drive home the optimist unable to stifle his curiosity turns to his friend and asks, notice anything unusual about my new dog?

The pessimist responds, I sure did, your dog can't swim.

Sorry Neuro, your response just made me think of this, enjoy.

[Infidel]

2200 hrs - Wrestling is on TV. God I hate it. Too lazy to change the channel so I mute it, mentally . I listen to my Husband snore instead. Wonder aloud why I have hair on my toes.

[ElstonGunn]

The other day, about a week ago... it must have been Friday. Or was it Thursday? No, it couldn't have been Thursday because I had to get up early the next day. Wait. I had to get up early on Saturday, too. What for? I know I had to do something, but I can't remember what it was. ...Anyways, the other day, I thought of something, but it didn't make a whole lot of sense, and I forgot what it was anyways, so I guess it's not important.

[Evalind]

My husband just walked out to the living room to let me know he's going to take a shower. I guess he has to work this morning.

This time I did think of something to post. I thought of it on my way to work this morning. But this is the extent of it. The end.

That's deep, man. So existential. 'Cause it's like... aren't we all just people turning away from the dirty dishes in the kitchen that is our lives? And it's like, yeah, maybe we'll do something about it tomorrow, but you know, like, tomorrow never really comes, man.

dirty dishes, part 2

i needed a bowl for my breakfast.... so i loaded the dishwasher.... tomorrow has now come...

[ScurvyRose]

Well I slept late this morning, and my kids had nothing in the house to use for making lunch today! I haven't gone shopping since I returned from vacation because I stared re-landscaping the back yard again, and I am building a new entertainment center.

Must go shopping today after work, and I still don't want to!

Baby crying, lays baby down, removes dirty diaper. Replaces with clean diaper, picks baby up, baby stops crying.

What do you have against grammatical subject nouns? It's kind of interesting. And if Baby was doing that all to Babyself, that would be a really interesting story.

[Monte314]

What do you have against grammatical subject nouns? It's kind of interesting. And if Baby was doing that all to Babyself, that would be a really interesting story.

This is a common female speech pattern. My wife refers to it as "noun loss."

Have you ever noticed that when two women are working together in a kitchen or garage sale or the like, one will say something like: "Put that one over there by the other"... and, magically, the other woman will know *exactly* what "that one" is, where "over there" is, and to what "the other" refers? I refer to this eerie power as "estro-telepathy". *ducks fearfully*

[*whispering* and they use it to cheat at charades!]

Then she tries this voodoo on her husband who is completely baffled by this nounless-but-relative-pronoun-rich lingo, and gets mad at him for "not listening to her". Sheesh!

So, I find deepdelver's story *incredibly* interesting.

I think this may stem more from the aspect of being equally experienced in the kitchen. Experience is in play here!

Bowls nest together, glasses go in the same area, the ingredients go next to the preparation space, etc.

[SevenOfSpades]

I woke up, yawned, got out of bed, sat at a desk and stared at a computer screen, occasionally got up to get some food and visit the lavatory, but not at the same time because it would be grossly unhygienic (and maybe impossible? author's alertness will return tomorrow after sleep). Hours passed and I found myself growing tired as the sky darkened, so I left my desk and fell asleep on a bed.

[TheLastMohican]

Neuro if my she-male cat is potentially too interesting, how about this:

[PortInStorm]

Woke up this morning, felt knackered and slightly ill. Decided that if there was no change for the bus on my bed side table, I wasn't going to work. There wasn't any. Laid in till 11, got up, contemplated not being at work and my future. Spoke with a financial advisor about mortgages, and then went for a nice walk round the shops in town. I have effectively time travelled, I now have 3 hours left before my normal routine recommences!
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Exclamation marks? Come now, they smack of excitement.

Here's how it's done. Watch and learn.

"I'm sitting here at the computer with my robe on, it's red by the way which happens to be the colour that most people attribute to my family, and also something I got for Christmas a year ago, or was it two, I'm not sure but I do know what store it came from because I was in that same store and saw a robe that was just like it except in another colour. Anyways.... oh, wait, I should remember to wash this puppy soon because I really like fresh robes when I get out of the shower because of obvious reasons, I mean who wants to get out of a shower when what they're putting on isn't so fresh, which reminds me that I have to replace the towels in the bathroom and google mildew because I think I left a few towels in the washers too long one time, was that a few months or years ago? Not sure, but boy those towels sometimes smell not so fresh. Anyways.... "

I was going to eat cereal for breakfast, but the box was empty, so I didn't.

My breakfast today was a slice of leftover pizza that somehow found its way into the refrigerator. I put it in the microwave for too long and the cheese melted to the plate. I had to pick it off, and now my hands are all greasy.

Then suddenly I realized my figernail on my left hand, third one over, was too long,....so I made the decision of leaving it like that, to see if I could grow any farther without breaking off. I needed to leave the house, for my usual run, and I found my keys exactly where I left them

I fell asleep in front of my computer;when I woke up, I had a line on my face from the edge of my desk. I then proceeded to sip coffee that was too old. I wanted to eat Honey Bunches of Oats for breakfast, but my milk had expired, so I walked 6 blocks to a gas station to buy milk in the early morning, I don't remember when. Walked back, half asleep with a gallon of milk in my left hand, and was set upon by a dog. I kicked at it and it ran away. Then I made my cereal, and got on the internet.

I do not wish for this. I must harden my will against laziness. I will be indefatiguable.

How average are wives? A wife at all might mean this paragraph is too interesting for this thread. :)

Dear Admissions Board:

I am writing on behalf of Dante Failing.. um sorry that would be "Falling"... Ms. Falling was a student in my class entitled Chaucer's demented Choices (English 499) and Shakespeare's Tragedies at the University of the netherworld. Her writing exhibited a unique ability to strike at the core of the thematic concepts and to weave a tapestry of ideas into a cohesive and insightful framework. I recall her paper on the moral importance of thought versus action as depicted in the interim periods going from Hamlet to Macbeth. Her analysis across significant bodies of work was unique in its ability to relate dispare concepts and to explain Shakespeare vision and themetic core.

In terms of class partciaption, Ms. Falling was keenly aware and very insightful. She seemed able to say in three words what other students would take novellas to relate. I think Ms. Falling would do extraordinarly well in your academic program and would be a credit to the academic and/or discipline community after she graduates.

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me. Oh... By the way... she was never actually convicted of the incident with the Knife, the clown and a bottle of vodka.

I had to blow my nose. It was gross. Then I threw away my tissue.

[DanteFalling]

Dear Admissions Board:

I am writing on behalf of Dante Failing.. um sorry that would be "Falling"... Ms. Falling was a student in my class entitled Chaucer's demented Choices (English 499) and Shakespeare's Tragedies at the University of the netherworld. Her writing exhibited a unique ability to strike at the core of the thematic concepts and to weave a tapestry of ideas into a cohesive and insightful framework. I recall her paper on the moral importance of thought versus action as depicted in the interim periods going from Hamlet to Macbeth. Her analysis across significant bodies of work was unique in its ability to relate dispare concepts and to explain Shakespeare vision and themetic core.

In terms of class partciaption, Ms. Falling was keenly aware and very insightful. She seemed able to say in three words what other students would take novellas to relate. I think Ms. Falling would do extraordinarly well in your academic program and would be a credit to the academic and/or discipline community after she graduates.

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me. Oh... By the way... she was never actually convicted of the incident with the Knife, the clown and a bottle of vodka.

Today I recvd a ltr from the finaid office.They can't give me money for the fall, but would I please contact them when I am officially admitted as a full time student to my program?My roommates (and Brion) have begun to enact desperate measures. One is letting me cut and shave his armpit hair if I write the two letters this weekend. I don't understand it, but I am intrigued!

[runoverazebra]

I sent an e-mail to my former roommate to tell her that I mailed her a check.

[music221]

I ate some peanut butter & strawberry m&m's. They were good, mmmmm.

[Synchronicity]

My sister just told me she was taking her dog to the park. I said "ok".

[Quite8the8bell]

He said he would drop the books by 12:30 to 1:00 now all I have to do is wait...

Vanquishing Hunger
An epic tale of valor and might from earlier today by Shorgenfunkel

I was hungry, so I went down to the kitchen. I took out some bread, toasted it, buttered it, and put roast beef on it. After eating it, I wasn't hungry.

THE END





Shorgenfunkel added to this post, 1 minutes and 30 seconds later...

EPILOGUE

A few hours later, I got hungry again. I contemplated doing the same thing as before...

THE END?

[runoverazebra]

My sister was supposed to get off work an hour ago. She didn't. Now I have to wait another hour to leave my house.

[lostandfound]

I wanted to post here to get the last word, but I didn't.

[reb]

the first two tables, only 100 points. we perservered, and wound up in first place with 5,120, the old Marine and i. never quit if you want to win, whatever winning is....

[DanteFalling]

I have an allergy-induced hive on my stomach three inches above my belly button, but I don't know what' it's from. Stupid idiopathic insanity. Itchy!

[rewhu]

Yesterday I saw a guy. I also saw a dog. They were together. I think.

[phej]

In the middle of the night, I woke up, looked at the clock, and went back to sleep again.

[Rudy]

I made a taco. It was delicious.

[phej]

!Iulius Caesar:I came. I saw. I didn't conquer.

[rahdam]

What the fuck is this shit? Is this like Twitter for INTJf? Fuck, I HATE Twitter!

[DanteFalling]

rahdam hated twitter

[Shorgenfunkel]

!Iulius Caesar:I came. I saw. I didn't conquer.
Better: "I came, I saw, I went."

[runoverazebra]

I stayed up really late last night, so I just took a nap. Now I feel refreshed.

[rahdam]

I stayed up really late last night, so I just took a nap. Now I feel refreshed.

How was the sis date?

[runoverazebra]

How was the sis date?

It was fun, though it started off strangely. I think I might post an entry in my blog about it, though it's sure to be dull.

[reb]

twitter hated rahdam; he came, it saw, he went. twitter cries in misery for lost love.

[Charly]

I saw the girl from number three in the stairwell last night. She asked me why I wasn't watching the game, I said that I didn't care for sports. I was wearing a light blue jumper at the time.

[Caedus]

I was watching TV, lost interest in what I was watching, so I turned off the TV.

[Rudy]

I spent five minutes fixing a bug in the code at work.

[rahdam]

I saw Harry Potter and the half blood prince. It sucked.

[Rudy]

I was unsurprised at hearing from rahdam that the Harry Potter movie sucked, given how bad the 6th book was.

[Caedus]

in hindsight, it was a really bad idea to go see Harry Potter at 12 am.

[MikeAZ]

mike, mike, Mike, Mike, MIIIIIIKE!!!! are you all right? aauuuuuuhh. What happened? Help me up… never mind I’m be fine.

[reb]

i bought a new daisy bb gun...the chickens who like to roost on my porch don't like it.

[Quite8the8bell]

I went to clean a school, minus the water fight with Alexander and the over-powering social activity that seems to kill, it was fun.

[MikeAZ]

All the chairs were full. I went into the other room and sat alone. I like being alone, but then some friends spotted me and decided I needed some company. It was also nice to sit with friends, I made a joke no one got.

[Synchronicity]

I just watched The Time Machine again. It was every bit as bad as I remembered.

[MikeAZ]

[I hate the powdery books thing.]

used a power sander to exfoliate my heals. Wife thought I was crazy, then I asked her to help and she did. She decided later it was not a bad idea.

[Quite8the8bell]

I sat and watched them have fun.. again.

[Synchronicity]

I think I had a dream last night, but I don't remember what it was.

[Stratego]

I scraped my knuckled on the hard edge of a shelf. Hurt for sec.

[MikeAZ]

came home from work and chilled out playing games or the game thread

[delilah]

I woke up this morning, again.

[Bioplasmoid]

1800 hrs - The news is on tv, I'd better go watch it. I NEED my news fix. I have gone all day without food once again, the faster thinking is great but the mild discomfort of my hunger pains doesn't assist concentration. I've realised that INTJforum has become a weightloss tool, but I dont want to end up 'underweight' again. Im craving junkfood, but might just settle for toast.

[lostandfound]

I'm so tired of her leaving messages. She really is selfish and consitently tries to control me. It gets very old...

[MrWho100]

A friend of mine said she was less wise all of a sudden on Facebook. I said that wasn't true and that she has plenty of wisdom. She then told me her wisdom teeth had been taken out. I said "oh".

[phej]

It was 5:30, so I walked out the building and drove home. --fin--

[Quite8the8bell]

I talked to him until 3:XX then ate Mexican food.

[coffeeholic]

i worked out, got irritated a person today....also i got ready for my doctors appointment.

I think I hate neon colors.....most of the time

[reb]

too early for this...

[music221]

Woke up late this morning, grabbed coffee, and made my way out the door.

[SelfMadeBum]

I'm drinking tea. I don't add as much sugar as I used to.

[coffeeholic]

i wish i was still asleep

[music221]

1/2 Mocha alert cappuccino + 1/2 100% Colombian coffee = yummy.

[delilah]

Everytime I think about him being anywhere but in access to me, it's like this becomes the last night in my body. Time's got a grip on my throat, and I'm floating somewhere between life, and living. Nothing is certain, but the idea of uncertainty itself. I just love, and love, and love.

[Stratego]

I threw my purse onto the passenger seat and then thought, oh, I think I need a tissue, so I had to dig sideways to get one, and everything feels weird sideways.

[delilah]

All of life's lesseons can be learns from a rain drop. Is what the wind whispered, after he left.

New lovers exchange long wreck-ed goodbyes, like solomon tearing apart a babe. Lovers, who truly love, when faced with the task. Are silent, save for well wishes, see you soon, and I love you.

[phej]

I read delilah's post and thought, "Wow, that's a long post for this thread."

[SelfMadeBum]

I just got home; I'm tired.

[phej]

I noticed that the handlebar tape on my bike needed replacing, so I replaced it.

[reb]

what, i thought, do i need? schnapps! i'm almost out of schnapps!

[delilah]

I'm tired of being this emotional.

[athenian200]

One day, I woke up, walked to the refrigerator, and got a Diet Coke. I walked back to my computer, and drank it as I sat on the couch, comfortably scrolling down webpages on the large computer monitor in front of me with my toe on the arrow keys, getting myself over to the keyboard to post if I saw something interesting. Then, I sat the empty cola can down on the table next to me. An hour later, I went to the bathroom and returned. I repeated this series of actions several more times that day, until the table was full of cola cans. Eventually, my mother saw how many there were, and took them to the trash can. About this time, I fell asleep.

[Towiel]

I hear frogs. Everyday for the last few months I hear frogs. Mostly at night, but sometimes in the day, and usually when it rains. It is always the same specie of frog. I have learned to imitate the sound somewhat. I have tried talking to them, but I apparently do not know the language or have offended them. Still they make their sounds day and night day and night day and night whether or not I am listening.

[MikeAZ]

Presentation was well received, audience was too big to gauge by participation. Leader said it was great, but he is the kind who would have said that either way. Checked the box moving on.

[delilah]

When I was younger, the lights were brighter.

[Towiel]

I bought her a bicycle with training wheels. She saw her cousins riding without training wheels. I took the training wheels off. Next day she wants the training wheels on. Awhile later she wants the wheels off. She rides. Awhile later she wants the training wheels on. The next day she wants them off.

[Bluesea]

Sitting here reading these at 2.11am and remembering that the interpretation gods at Myers Briggs say that INTJ's will decide against following rules they disagree with ... so I find myself questioning ... has the rule become outdated ... too difficult to adhere to as INTJ's find so many things interesting ... what was the rule again ... better scroll back...

[music221]

Jamming at the bar last night was fun. The place was packed for a Monday. I could only have four beers because my wife had drank a lot of vodka.

[reb]

i'm going to wring his neck, and eat him. attacking goosegoose was the last straw.

[Quite8the8bell]

We made a deal, I came across an article that made me question everything.

[coffeeholic]

im eating chocolate...i think its making me happier

[Doppelbock]

I was reading this thread on INTJf. I realized it read just like Twitter. Then I got up to go get me a Dr. Pepper. I think I have a meeting in a while, too.

[coffeeholic]

grass is not very green this time of year,....is it? no, its rather a poop brown color

[Charly]

I am chewing on an cinnamon stick. It is not very cinnamon-ey.

[Quite8the8bell]

I practiced and did a terrible job... jeeesh.

[SelfMadeBum]

I'm chewing on this bottle because all of the water is gone and I seem to feel very oral right now.

[coffeeholic]

i just got back from going to the eye doctor. I dont like going,...but its better than the dental office

[Towiel]

Who'da thunk it. Raw cashews (I mean right off the tree raw) have a similar toxin to poison ivy. They need to be boiled or steamed to get rid of the stuff or else one gets a rash like I seem to have on my wrists. So the 'raw' cashews in the store are not really raw. The cashew tree looks nothing like poison ivy or poison oak, but it sure does act the same.

[SelfMadeBum]

My urine is colourless... go figure.

[Quite8the8bell]

I went to see the doctor today...Another infection: damn.

[ranwayslo]

I got up...still sick...worked out anyway...feel like excrement...sat here typing assuming my opinions were solicited on various topics because I find some kind of validation in that...going to bed soon...oh yeah having serious issues with semi-soft mucus formations developing in my nasal passages...boogers...yeah I said it.

[coffeeholic]

I think im about to go get some honey bunches of oats.....im not hungry, they just taste good. I like fud.....a lot.

I really ought to do the laundry, but I don't have enough darks or lights for a full load. I'm out of underwear, though, so I guess I'll just put them both in cold water. This keeps happening to me...

[reb]

i thought about this. i care, but i can't explain it fully. i feel bogged down, full of passion, but incapable of communication. words fail me....damned words.

[SelfMadeBum]

The puppy just ran into the table leg.

He has a lump now.

[Josephine1012]

I went to work, watched our resident INTJ blush about our info sec guy's incompetence.

Then I went to lunch, and made a point of pissing of the HR guy (he is a dweeb)

Then I came home and I think I should wash some dishes.

[Reganon]

I put off doing the laundry for too long, so I had to wear an outfit I don't like.

[Hamburglar]

My fish tank is loud. The remedy? Add more water, but I am to lazy.

[SelfMadeBum]

I need to pee but I don't want to leave my bed.

We're having a thunderstorm. :)

[reb]

i need to pee, but....uh, never mind. i don't wanna dig another post hole today.

[SelfMadeBum]

^ Hee!

I'm currently having a caramel lollipop... YUM.

[papkan]

I stared at the wall. That got boring so I stared at the ceiling. That got boring so I stared out my window. That got boring so I stared at myself in the mirror. That got boring so now I'm typing this.

[runoverazebra]

I paid my electric bill, and then I drank a glass of water.

[SelfMadeBum]

I stared at the wall. That got boring so I stared at the ceiling. That got boring so I stared out my window. That got boring so I stared at myself in the mirror. That got boring so now I'm typing this.Sorry; that's fascinating and therefore doesn't qualify.

[Synchronicity]

I just had a cup of frozen lemonade. It was tasty.

[papkan]

Sorry; that's fascinating and therefore doesn't qualify.

Ok, so how about: I blew my nose in a tissue and I trew it away.

[ptrout]

I was day dreaming that I was sleeping,

[ClydeB]

I was trying to squeeze the two teabags in my cup of English Breakfast at the same time just now. I succeeded in doing it with just the thumb, index, and middle finger of my left hand. Didn't burn myself too badly doing it. I do admit that I enjoy the feeling of the plastic sachet as opposed to the paper ones. Has a more silky feel. The two teabags were not actually in the tea mind you. I was holding them above the liquid surface with my right hand.

[Synchronicity]

I drank a beer. It was good.

[SelfMadeBum]

Ok, so how about: I blew my nose in a tissue and I trew it away.Again, I was captivated.

Are you sure you know how to use this thread?

[papkan]

Again, I was captivated.

Are you sure you know how to use this thread?

Apparently not. Please enlighten me.





papkan added to this post, 1 minutes and 11 seconds later...

ok last try:
Im sitting

[SelfMadeBum]

Now, see, if you had put an apostrophe in there... maybe...

[SelfMadeBum]

I just stir fried tuna and okra with garlic and spices.

I'm now eating it with bread.

It's good.

[CatalystAK]

Today I picked up a piece of firewood. It was very wood-like. I threw it in the pile and that was it.

[nowt]

And this is a screenshot, I will not take.

[Blse]

Took a nap at around 4, woke up rather refreshed though a wee bit drowsy for the first few minutes thereafter.

[runoverazebra]

I was sore, so I stretched.

[Synchronicity]

My throat felt a little dry. I drank some water, and it feels better.

[Athene]

I walked the dogs, or more along the lines of 'pooped' the dogs. My favorite one grabbed a big branch and ran with it. It was cute. I think this counts as twittering. Tweeting. Twitting.





Athene added to this post, 840 minutes and 30 seconds later...

It's Saturday and I'm working. Sort of. It will be really busy later, but right now it's not.

[Rudy]

I had a sandwich. It was pretty tasty, though I've had better.

[SelfMadeBum]

I just scratched my shoulder under the bra strap.

[realJim]

I was thirsty so I drank a glass of water.

The end.

[Athene]

My work day is just about over so I'm going home, where I hope to have some time... 2 hours? by myself. To enjoy after I clean up the house and eat dinner.

[runoverazebra]

My feet were cold, so I put on some socks. It didn't really help.

[Synchronicity]

I've only got one bagel left, but I have only one slice of turkey left too, so it works out.

[Athene]

It's been raining for about six weeks. I need sunshine.

[Hjordis]

My socks don't match.

[runoverazebra]

I'm waiting for my UPS package to arrive.

[Athene]

The sun has been out for 20 minutes... in a row. I'm going to go stand in it.

[Synapse]

I choked on yet another glass of water today. Perhaps I should mow the lawn so I don't have a legitimate excuse to talk to someone while getting exercise.

[SelfMadeBum]

I just yawned.

It made my eyes water.

[runoverazebra]

I'm sitting in an uncomfortable chair.

[Aristarce]

I saw a spider in the shower today.
I was a little concerned and thought I might check the data on brown recluses but then the shampoo got in my eyes.
It was painful.
When I finished whining and looked around the spider was gone.

[ReasoningMind]

As usual, I had something to drink with an old friend today. He is just like everybody else. Told me I'm the same, which is true I suppose. Not sure.

[Aristarce]

I had two bananas today. I never do that and now I'm really concerned it might be the sign of a serious underlying condition.

[Yardy]

my copies of the first and fourth rammstein CD's need to be replaced. They're chipped, peeling and otherwise over-used.

[SelfMadeBum]

This top is itchy.

I'm throwing it out when I get home.

[NoStoneUnturned]

I saw a pretty girl that worked at a coffee shop. She made me my drink. I thought about asking her out. I did not.

The End.

[Nemesis]

This evening I had a bath to try and unwind. There is a problem with our water heater. The water was cold when I got in. I am now in bed feeling dirty and angry.

[SelfMadeBum]

:laugh:

It would be sad if it were anyone but you, Nemesis.

[runoverazebra]

My friend's dog got dog hair all over my shirt, so I changed it.

[Caedus]

I cracked my iPod Touch screen. I just bought it yesterday.

[Synchronicity]

I am out of yogurt.

[cannotseethe]

I've spent the last three days trying to decide which statistical test to use in an analysis I'm doing. I'm still puzzled that someone pays me to do stuff like this.

[Jonathan Brewer]

It's absolutely amazing how much lint can accumulate in a belly button. It reminds me of the buildup in the grease trap under the sink.

[SelfMadeBum]

I'm bored.

I'm eating Skittles.

[paperclip]

I stayed up all night working on my thesis presentation. The department chair didn't bother to show up. Nice.

[cannotseethe]

I'm drinking a cup of coffee and a glass of water. It's getting dark. It's cloudy. There's a pencil on my desk. I don't know how it got there; I never use pencils.

[MakingIn]

I spent 3 hours trying to figure out the normal force acting on a slope only to have someone show me today how to solve the problem in 3 seconds.

[ClydeB]

I just got a free 4 dollar drink for 5 minutes worth of computer work. Just realized that I underbilled myself. It all works out. I like this place.

[SelfMadeBum]

This position is uncomfortable.

I should move.

[ClydeB]

Did I do the math correctly? Is an iron based self sustaining fusion reaction doable? Must make a note to try that in the lab.

[Scenery]

I am really sleepy and am thinking about going to bed, but I think that I'm going to have a bottle of water and half a piece of grilled chicken first.

[stacyr201]

I procrastinated, now I am staying up until my homework is done.

[Synchronicity]

I'm tired of mashed potatoes. I think I'll change my shopping list a little this week.

[athenian200]

I just opened another Diet Coke, and finished typing up a list of the US and Japanese release dates of every known Nintendo console released for some random person on the Internet who requested it.

[gwilendiel]

I'm breathing. First I inhale. Then I exhale. And then I inhale again.

And some times I blink my eyes while I do that, too.

[Synchronicity]

I made some mashed potatoes. I blew on them to cool them down, which blew steam into my eyes and fogged my glasses :blank:

[Cooper]

I sat here and tried to think of something to write. This is what I came up with.

[coffeeholic]

i believe i might be getting tired. *yaaawn* i wish i was running or playing frisbee right now.i need chocolate......that was one too many 'i's
