Because when I get bored, bad things happen.

12. I've still got 3 1/2 hours, give or take...
12:25.

Blech.

I hate when it's like this because later it won't be and then I'm gonna have to kick it in from a dead stop.

*sigh*

Subway and coffee. I'm resisting the pop tarts and the Reese's.

31. Heh...I'm more worried about me sucking Them in...
But it's the Reese's that are the biggest threat right now. Compared to chocolate, those pop tarts are looking pretty harmless.

7. Very, VERY bad things...
I might actually start to Clean something. It's either that, or eat, or...well...

*gasp*

get in trouble.

Yes, I know. How could a sweet, thoughtful, intelligent, caring girl like me get into trouble?




:hide:


With remarkable ease, it seems.

17. Any number of bad things happen...
The gremlins commune with the dust bunnies and without the proper protective equipment...well...they scare me. Which tempts me to clean them up. And that scares Them.

Scared gremlins and dust bunnies are a force to be reckoned with, which forces to beat them into submission. And if I'm gonna start beating things into submission, there Are better options...

:evilgrin:

My name?

That also came from boredom. My name is in there somewhere, though.

And...eleven.

Oh. Wait...nemmind.

20. People drive on parkways and park in driveways just to be contrary...
But...you ever driven on a parkway at about 5:15 on a weekday afternoon?

Parkway's appropriate. And there's rarely much in the way of traffic on a driveway. Probably move faster there than you did on the parkway...

Unless, of course, we're talking about my driveway....

:D

Now...teflon, as a matter of fact, is the topmost of three layers and is affixed to the pan with a primer coat that's applied directly against the surface of the cookware.

:hi:

28. Be afraid....be very afraid...
But...seeing as how you've got that covered...unplug the phone, tell your parents you're doing homework, turn off the radio if the voices are getting to you and I expect a full transcript in my PM box this time tomorrow.

You think I'm bored Now?

Just wait...

36. But you don't understand!
The voices...are ON the telephone! Like someone talking, except it's a recording! And the reason they're calling...is because I signed a thing online. And the reason I signed it...was because one of you internet-people on this website told me to, and because I signed the damn thing, they assume I want to know every stupid update, and they called on the telephone and played a prerecorded message! I picked it up, but if they call again and one of my parents picked up, they'll accuse me of Dabbling with Crackpots on the Internet who Want to Get you Involved in Bullshit(tm). NOW do you understand?

Oh, is that humpty dumpty? Have you ever noticed how, in the rhyme, they never actually state that he is an EGG? So how do we know that he is? Maybe he was just some guy who fell from favor(had a great fall) for being so indecisive (sitting on a wall) and none of the people who worked for the King could make him popular again.

42. But it's not my phone!
If I unplug it my mom'll get pissed off! They already told me that I was paranoid when I tried to tell them about the secret jails, and if they pick up their phone and hear a recording of a guy talking about resisting the illegal war, they'll be all like, "WHAT THE FUCK?!?!? STOP TALKING WITH INTERNET CRACKPOTS!!!" And by internet crackpots they mean you guys! :cry:

Oh, and from now on, can we call Lieberman Humpty Dumpty? Please? C'mon! We'll start a lingo revolution! Send his new name out across the lounge, and finally into the greater waters of GD!

44. What...
You mean your parents are strange and unreasonable creatures who live in fear of the perils of cyber-space?

Who'da thunk it?

Just disavow any knowledge of the phone calls ('disavow' has just become the word of the night...challenge: See how many different posts you can use it in before people start telling you to quiddit) and tell 'em you've got reading to do.

Parents rarely question reading.

33. Please explain the Grand Unification Theory
Dr Kaku says it should explain existence in a one inch
equasion. I've gone through his research, applied his
mathematical reasoning and blown two hard drives trying
to figure it out.

Where did I err? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
