  this is starting to get creepy.

  i keep getting things which don't belong to me, and i have to go around returning them.

  in the past 2 months, i was given $120 too much by a bank teller, a loaf of olive rosemary bread was put in my shopping bag at the grocery store (but not charged to me), 2 orders of fries at mcdonald's (again, i was not charged), and then yesterday i bought a dresser at an antiques store, and when it was delivered, the drawers were full of gorgeous antique handbags worth far more than i'd paid for the dresser.

  Crying at the movies

  i have a hard time expressing my emotions in front of others.

  i mean, i'd rather be naked than to let anyone see me cry.

  however, there are a few movies that can, in spite of my best efforts, make me bust out crying like a little girl: .

  i'm taking a chance that you still read this forum.

  remember when your d&d character was named kartol?

  i just graduated from college; our mom and my future hubby were there, but it would have made my day to have you there, as well.

  did anyone watch csi this evening?

  i think i missed something important to the ongoing grissom/sarah plot.

  while they were in the back of sam braun's limo, the station ran a public safety test- screechy noise that obliterated the dialog.

  so, in reply to englishman's topic regarding how the americans on this forum feel about the british, i must ask:.

  what is the general impression the british folks here have of us americans?

  i know, you have every reason to resent us, after all, you gave us john lennon, and we gave you madonna.

  i'm so tired.

  i graduate in one week; my professor keeps giving me assignments, telling me that each one is the honest-to god last one ever.

  and, while in the past he's always given me at least one week to finish a paper, now he gives me 2-3 days.

  i'm planning a small vacation in about 2 month's time.

  i'll be going back to the city where i spent my teens through twenties.

  as you can imagine, this place holds a lot of memories for me-both good and bad.

  the charity fundraiser that honey-bunny and i hold every year for the make-a-wish foundation is done, except for a little bookkeeping.

  usually folks think of fundraisers as a bunch of rich people attending a luncheon at the country club, but we like to target the "other" america: .

  the event was held at a bar, and got a bit rowdy (much drunkenness.

  a couple of days ago, i was running a few errands before a meeting with my professor.

  i was in such a happy mood, chatting with the store clerk about the weather, etc.

  when i turned around to leave, there was the elder's wife, standing in the middle of the store, staring at me with undisguised venom.

  ok, i'm sure this topic has been covered before, but i'm new here, so indulge me.

  what do everyone's screen names mean?

  some are pretty self-explanatory, but a few have me intrigued.
