not hot, it's almost perfect weather

[Heidi]

I love nights like that.

Some of my best evening were spent sitting on the tailgate of my friend's truck, listening to Leonard Cohen and drinking Dairy Queen Limade. :hug:

[Wapsie B]

37. That does sound nice.

Sounds like great memories. Never had DQ limeade though.

[Heidi]

39. Treat yourself to a DQ limeade sometime.

And if you can find someone with a big ol' cornfield and a truck with a decent stereo, it'll taste even better. :hug:

[Wapsie B]

40. I will.

I just need to make memories like that for me.

[In_The_Wind]

27. I'll join in the hug-o-rama before going to bed.

I got way too caught up in the GD drama today, and spent far too much time dwelling on it.

[Heidi]

29. Hey, Pithlet!

Put GD out of your mind right now and have a hug!

[Pithlet]

41. ill take some

just another boring day waiting for classes to start.

[Heidi]

42. Well, hi there, LK!

Have a hug! :hug:

Is it at least a little bit of fun to be back on campus?

[LastKnight]

43. its ok i guess.

i keep running into my ex at the most inopprotune times, so it brings me back to a better time - one that i wouldnt care to remember, honestly

other than that i went to a party last night but it started with somone throwing a mug at my head (and hitting it) and ended with a few friends getting in a fight... coulda been better but we went back to campus and talked for about 3 hours with our new neighbors and that was cool. one of em is basically me, with a different name.

oh and $400 for books. thats nice.

[madrchsod]

Incidentally, I see you're at 4,998 posts.

[Heidi]

98. Unsurprisngly, I hadn't even noticed.

Unsurprisingly, because I'm a dork. ;)

I guess I should start one of those "I have very nearly 5,000 posts" threads, huh?

[alarcojon]

92. Evening, Heidi

:hug:

[Heidi]

96. Alarcojon!

I've missed you, friend!

Here, have a biggo hug!

[alarcojon]

100. Yes, I've been travelling

and my classes start on Tuesday, so I might not be nighthawking for a while. I'll still check in when I can, of course.

A little eyeworm from Eduardo Kingman:

[Heidi]

101. That's beautiful.

The painting reminds me of my mother-in-law's hands. She's a sculptor, and her hands hold so many stories, so much character.

I'll be happy to see you whenever time brings you to us. :hug:

[alarcojon]

102. Likewise, Heidi

The Koch snowflake, fifth iteration:

[Heidi]

103. And here's one for you.

"Axioms and Axiom Schemata" by John F. Nash, Jr. (I think it's art, but most of my friends disagree.)

[billyskank]

104. You're still at it?

Here, have a hug yourself: :hug:

[Heidi]

105. Thanks, hon!

There's a lot of weariness in the Lounge right now; maybe hugs help a little.

Thank you, billy. :loveya:

[billyskank]

109. Yes, it's very hard to stay chipper in here right now

We need all the rays of sunshine we can get. :grouphug:
