So what is it like being in DU limbo?

[yvr girl]

Banned but not bad - waiting for the mercy of the mods to open the doors again.

1. Is it like some acid trip ?

[Huckebein the Raven]

2. Like waiting at the DMV is my guess

:P

[progmom]

3. very very sad

x(

Dark. Dreary. Desolate.

I came *this close* to accomplishing something.

[yvr girl]

4. Thank GAWD that didn't happen

Do you feel closer to Will Pitt now?

[progmom]

5. bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

What was that?
Did you say something?

:evilgrin:

[yvr girl]

7. I had nothing to do with getting YOU banned!

You don't need to ignore me.

[progmom]

9. I was just feeling close to Will Pitt

Will you poop on me now?


:P

[yvr girl]

10. I have never pooped on Pitt

or anyone else for that matter.

(It's possible I pooped on someone when I was a baby, but not since then.)

Sweetie, I would never poop on you.

[progmom]

11. oh dear. I think you missed his thread last night

Taken out of context, what I wrote is deeply disturbing, isn't it?

:wtf:

[yvr girl]

12. I was having casserole with the folks

So how do I get out of dinner with my parents without telling them I'm going to Boston?

[progmom]

13. tell them you have spinal meningitis?

here is the pitt thread, btw:

[yvr girl]

14. Spinal Meningitis won't work

They would expect me to be in the hospital, and would want to visit. I need something a bit more low key.

That thread is funny. He seems to be able to start flamewars at the drop of the hat.

[progmom]

15. ok. um...

tell them...
that you're filled with angst and ennui and just can't leave your home, and certainly not for turnips and meat fat? fat meat? what is it your parents feed you?

[yvr girl]

16. You SO don't get me parents

I mentioned at a Monday night dinner that I hadn't done my dishes in a few days. They took that to mean that I was depressed or something. They showed up on my door the next day with a dish pan, J-cloth, tea towels and soap. (I have all the supplies needed to wash my dishes.) This was when I wouldn't let them in my house.

I need to come up with a story that doesn't cause any worry.

[progmom]

17. oh - my parents would be the same way

...which is why i thought it would be a funny scenario to propose.

Ok. Tell them Gowan, Great Big Sea, The Guess Who, Loverboy, Gordon Lightfoot, and The Tragically Hip are going a big show at the GM Place and you have front row seats!

[yvr girl]

18. Gowan - you are digging deep

That would work on my dad, but my mom is a bit more hip to pop culture and local events.

I might go with something vague like dinner with friends or a birthday party or something. I'd rather not lie though.

[progmom]

19. I wanted to impress you with my knowledge of Canadian pop stars

Did it work?

[yvr girl]

20. I was very impressed

I have a feeling we're going to have many parent stories to share.

[progmom]

21. btw

why don't you want to tell your parents you're going to boston???

[yvr girl]

22. Too many questions

You're going across the continent for a party?

Do you know these people?

From the Internet?

Do you feel this is responsible?

...you get the idea. The baby NEVER stops being the baby. And I'm the youngest of my generation on BOTH sides of the family.

[progmom]

23. oh.

i see.
yes, that would suck.
sometimes it is better to just avoid.

[yvr girl]

24. You'd think I was barely out of my teens

Funny thing is - I really didn't hide anything when I was a teenager. "What did you do tonight?" "We went to a bar, and I didn't get ID'd."

[Anarcho-Socialist]

6. How long were you in limbo for? n/t

[progmom]

8. maybe 20 minutes

but it was a looooooooooooong 20 minutes.

Thank goodness JimmyJazz was chatting with me, or I would have lost it! :scared:
