Any of you freaks awake?

[bicentennial_baby]

:P

It's 4:20 am EST...are you all schweeping soundly? It's 10:20 am here...my illness seems to have abated over night, for the most part. I think sleeping with BBC World on all night helped...I always sleep with a news channel on when I'm sick for some reason, I guess the monotone voices help me sleep... :shrug:

anyhoo, i'm going to a bunch of places today, and after today, only 4 more days! i'm gonna chill and do/see what I can, and then fly home to my beloved Massachusetts and my beloved Massholes!

I miss you all, and love most of you, hehe :loveya:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

4. I'm trying to sleep. I'm going to try in a few minutes.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. Ok, I'll be quiet then...shhhhh

:P

[Ptah]

3. It's 1:27 am

I envy your time in Paris.

:hi:

I'm just glad you are NOT an ugly american.

[bicentennial_baby]

8. No, I'm sooooo not!

They're very nice to me here, for the most part! I've won over the Starbucks guy, the cig store guy, and the internet cafe guys! w00t! :bounce:

12. If I had the chance to be in Paris I would try to find

the craftsmen that did the Statue of Liberty.

When it was refurbished recently, many French ironworkers
(blacksmiths) were brought to New York because we (USA)
didn't have the skill to do it right.

So, if you could post a picture of an ironmonger's shop,
I would be eternally in your debt.

If not, that's cool too.


:shrug:

[bicentennial_baby]

14. I'll see what I can do, homie

:) You never know...

[Ptah]

20. However your last few days in France are,

I wish you happy trails, and thanks for sharing
your experiences from
'across the pond.'

:yourock:

[MrScorpio]

5. I'm up

Now in more ways than one

[bicentennial_baby]

6. Papi!!! Yay!!

Comment ca va? I miss you, mon cher papa, and I hope you are doing well!! :D

A big kiss for you: MWAH! :loveya:

[MrScorpio]

9. I'm doing great

Thinking about ma cherie so far away from home

:hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

10. So soon, I'll be home! Yay!

I love Paris, but this trip has been challenging for me, to say the least. It's hard to do all this alone, for the first time. But, I'm surviving, and it's been quite the educational experience, most def. It will be nice to get home though, to silence and clean air, and my doggie...I really miss my doggie :)

and 24 hour stores...i miss those too :P
and my car
and my annoying brother
and weed :D

[MrScorpio]

11. Are you coming to DC?

[bicentennial_baby]

13. eh, i dunno

I've got 6 classes this semester, and I would have to find a ride down...my car's not reliable enought for me to chance that trip. I'd like to, but I'm just not sure yet. But, if you're gonna be there, I might have to make a more determined effort to get down there, papi :D

[MrScorpio]

15. I'll be there

All of us should get together for something this important

[bicentennial_baby]

19. Well then, I will try, promise

hopefully, my ridiculous amount of classes will allow me :)

Queer Lit
American Gov't
Intercultural Communication
French 2
French Film
Art History 2

23. Hey, are you on the Left Bank?

You can do what I did, and hike all the way to the top of Mount Martre. It'll take you 2 hours either way, so carry a crepe jambon et fromage, or some fruit & bottled water. When you get to the top, you can go to la Mere Catherine and get a panache. That's 1/2 lemonade & 1/2 beer- really refreshing after a hike. You can pop into le chat noir.

Have you tried snails yet? I tried them on a dare, with 2 glasses white wine in me, and I really liked them.

[NMMNG]

16. Yeah, I'm awake

What can I say?

[cleofus1]

17. not only am i awake

but i am discussing the intellectual ramifications of innacurate translations of "la bamba"...this is serious stuff sailorman!

[bicentennial_baby]

18. soooo important

I wish you the best of luck in your deeply intellectual undertaking...i don't know that i would have the intestinal fortitude (i looove that phrase!) for such things :P

[cleofus1]

22. i need to get a life....

oh wait i have one....somewhere...

if you would like to participate go to the la bamba thread...but only if you're serious...we don't need anyone with a lackadaisical attitude mucking up the works...

[Sugar Smack]

21. Hey, baby!

Well, thank god your illness has gone. Guess what- the same thing happened here. 2 days of painful percocet withdrawals from an appendectomy and cramps on top, and now it's ok, not having taken painkillers.

Hehe- my very best friend is sleeping on the couch over there. We're going to have some coffee when the sun comes up, and she has a bunch of peaches she gathered from a peach tree in her back yard. We're baking peach pies.

What will you see tomorrow, sweetheart? You make me want to pull out those sketches again.

We love you, too.

[Wetzelbill]

24. for you always

I have no Neruda, but I just finished writing something thirty seconds ago. I'll post it in a few.

I really miss you. :)

[Jamastiene]

25. I'm a freak who is awake since 2:00 this morning. est.

I feel kinda rough still but being on DU always makes me feel better. I love you people.
