haha Paris Hilton's album is considered a failure selling only 75,000 copies (as opposed to say, Xtina selling 320,000 copies in its first week)

and the best comment ever: The only way I would ever listen to a Paris Hilton song is if I was poisoned and the ingredients to the antidote were hidden in her lyrics.

reaf reafOG 2002 ·

THANK GOODNESS!!! I was SO hoping she would not sell I hope its enough for her to stop making "music"

PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE HAS A LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION BY ELVIS PRESLEY IN MP3? I HAVE IT ON ITUNES BUT I TOTALLY FORGOT I CAN NOT USE THAT FOR WHAT I NEED IT FOR. ANYONE?

So why on earth is that couple getting recognition for taken a photo of the wifes pregnancy, every 2 or 3 days, PLEASE, so many people do that. I want to do a video diary every day or other day i hope i get recognition like that. I will have to post it all over the internet. haha.

So, Tyler wants to learn how to play the guitar, and we totally want to let him. What is a good guitar to start a 7-year old out on?

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder ·

depends. Electric is easier to play, because the strings are easy to press to the neck, but you need to buy an amp, and you may be driven crazy until he actually knows what he's doing.

Accoustics are good, but you can't really buy a "good" and "cheap" one.

My first electric guitar was (is--I love it to peices, it's amazing, yet cheap) the Ibanez Iceman 120.

Here's a review: http://www.musicgearreview.com/review-display/5885.html
Here's a picture: http://www.ibanezguitars.co.uk/acatalog/ICX_120.html
It should be around $250, but they don't make them anymore, I think, so you'll have to look at local stores--call around. Or keep searching the net.

Awwww you guys are such awesome parents! I was trying to learn for a while a friend said they would teach me but never made good on it *cough BUM cough *

If anyone wants a nice couch with a pullout bed and a queen size mattress with box spring at a discount price, let me know. I can't fit them in my apartment and it's not worth it to pay for storage for them. I'll even deliver them to your house.
Message me if interested.

Don't you hate when you have a friend who really needs you, and you SO want to be there and give them a hug, but they live across the country and can't afford a last minute flight out? I hate that. I wish I could fly her out here. :(

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

oh yeah def....esp when its your best friend. omg i've been in that situation SO many times....UGH. i'm so sorry :(

specialk specialkOG 2003 ·

It's so tough because she lives in Florida, and doesn't have a great relationship with her parents, and her boyfriend and his family were basically her family, and they were pretty much all she had. Well, he's a stupid-head and broke up with her last week, and she's devastated, and with the hurricane coming literally RIGHT into her part of town, she's freaking out. She wants to come out here so bad, and I found a flight here tomorrow, but, I don't know if she'll take it, because of money concerns. I wish I had billions of dollards to fly my friends and family anywhere they wanted when they needed it. Hahahah.

If I got paid through paypal and I see it in my paypal account, is it safe to ship to the person? Or should I wait till it's actually transferred to my banking account?

magnum magnumOG 2001 ·

no, way till its in your bank account

iwz iwz ·

They can still take the money back even if you've transferred it to your bank account. Paypal will just take it right back out if there's not enough in your account.

I just ship when I see the money in Paypal...

magnum magnumOG 2001 ·

thats why as soon as it clears you transfer it to another non touchable paypal account like a savings... They will and can take your money and not refund it, seller beware

yay yayOG 2004 ·

Hmm I guess maybe ill wait until I at least see it in my checkings then withdraw it or something, im not sure what to do really :\

magnum magnumOG 2001 ·

well it also depends how well you trust the seller? is it just some random ebay purchase? can someone vouch for the buyer, is it a large sum of money?

yay yayOG 2004 ·

Well they didn't respond quickly at first, they are about at 75%, and it's a 200 dollar item. Sooo yeah that's kinda why I'm even asking, if it was 100%, I would have sent already

New Super Mario Brothers is awesome, if they don't already have that.

Star Fox is the big new DS release this week and looks like a lot of fun.

And Madden NFL 07 came out last week, and it looks AWESOME

what do they like?

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001 ·

Kyle is going into 8th grade and is 13. He's the nerdy one, into video games, cartoons, dinasours and science stuff. So I want to encourage his intelligent side, but not encourage him to be totally introverted.

Matty just turned 11 and is going into 5th grade. He's not as brainy; he's much more into sports and outdoor stuff, and is more imaginative. So I'd love to get him all kinds of art stuff but I'm not sure what kind of sporty thing I can get him that'll fit in a package in the mail.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

so i saw this little band called Unwritten Law on sat night for free. Although i've always liked them, they wouldn't be a band like say, social d, where i would NEED to see the show. BUT they happened to be giving a free concert at one of our fav places in downtown fullerton called slidebar (owned by one of the popoff bros from LIT) so we were pretty stoked and i must say they were pretty awesome live.

iwz iwz ·

I love unwritten law. nice!

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

they were REALLLLY good....now i'd def pay to see them. it was so awesome tho cause we just hit up slidebar just for dinner and drinks and we saw the stage set up for a concert so we asked the bartender what was up (cause a few weeks ago lit gave a mini concert) and they told us it was just an impromptu concert.

magnum magnumOG 2001 ·

u just like them cause blink 182 mentioned them!

reaf reafOG 2002 ·

haha that is a funny obersvation! I was so excited ot get it cut before cuase it took me a year to convince brandon to let me cut it so i guess thats why i have a super smile on, and then after it was cut i was like OH MAN what is brandon gunna say, so maybe thats why its a less smile. haha

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 ·

the short hair frames your face, and also somehow makes you look more tan

reaf reafOG 2002 ·

HA HA that is so funny just yesterday i was like DANG i look so tan but i have not been to the beach in a while to lay out how could this be.

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 ·

I was thinking that too. But is it really the haircut, or just the lighting difference? Either way it looks good.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

i like the short hair...it gives you a style w/o even trying. Im SO tempted to cut my hair too.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

I will beat you! Don't do it!! I almost did this weekend, but I'm in a wedding in December so I had to fight the urge.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

HEEHEEHEE i've sat in the chair a few times ready to get it then when they put it in a ponytail to cut i freak and say "NO NO NO, maybe next time, just gimme a trim" LOL

how long is it now??

beachbum beachbumOG 2002 ·

hahaha i know exactly how you feel. i finally got up the nerve to cut my hair a couple of weeks ago. when she made the first cut and held it up I was like 'noooooo, what did i dooooo' but it was too late then hahahaha. but i like it.

steph, i like your cut, too. how do the bangs feel? do they get in your face alot?

reaf reafOG 2002 ·

my bangs have always been like that so i am use to it, i usually put them behind my ear or clip them back when i need them out of my face. Brandon wants me to grow them out. I do to, I wanted my bangs to be longer then the back.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

that's how i was going to cut my hair this weekend!

reaf reafOG 2002 ·

it's funny though cause long hair i could just leave wet and not do anything with it but put product in and go, short hair i pretty much have to do every morning if i plan on going out. So that part stinks, haha. I hate doing my hair especially since i suck at it.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

i basically never do my hair and no one ever knows the difference. i used to hate having curly hair, but i'm so over that phase!

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

shoulder length. it's kind of weird and 70's looking. i haven't had it cut since february.

magnum magnumOG 2001 ·

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

way to go. short hair is underrated. looks good on you.

reaf reafOG 2002 ·

it took a YEAR to convince brandon to cut it, and suprisingly he likes it. That was shocking to me, he still wants me to grow it out but he likes it how it is now.

Okay so I'm not technically supposed to laugh but, I was waiting for this sister so I could accopany her to her study this afternoon. When we got there I had to turn around twice cause I didn't see her waiting on the sidewalk. So when I saw her, pulled over, rolled down my window she said it was raining to hard to make the call... So I was willing to drive her over to the call...as she was trying to get into the car she punched me in the eye with her sombrilla (yes OUCH) and then her literature bag fell down between the car and the curb into a gushing stream.

When she picked up her bag and literally had to dump like a bucket of water out of her bag. I know, I know, it's not technically funny 'cause all her literature + bible and song book EVERYthing was soaked but, the simple sight of seeing her dump the water from her purse hilarious =)

And once again OUCH, my eye =P

Just got back from a fun evening at my sister-in-law's house. Adam's parents are spending the night at a resort as a gift from all of us, for their 35th anniversary, and all the younger friends out here had plans, so Adam and Tyler and I went over to his sister and her husband's house, and his other sister was there. We just did the casual "order pizza and play games" evening, but it was fun nonetheless. We're having a big fancy dinner tomorrow over there, for the anniversary, so it's gonna be good times.
That's one thing I really like about being here....Adam's family is really big on family time, and being close, and so if we have nothing to do at any given time, we ALWAYS have the option of spending time with all the fam. It's really nice, because my family was never close like that. I like that what I lack from my own family, I get from his. It's a nice trade-off.

Ok, I'm done rambling. :)

B

It's an old victorian home split up into 3 apartments. I have the second floor apt. The neighborhood seems nice too. The beauty of it also, is that it is a month to month lease. So if I want to upgrade to something else, I don't have to wait for the year to be up on the lease.
The old couple lives in Florida. They are just up here for the summer.
At least it'll be in my name now. LOL!

We just got a new receptionist here at work and she's CONSTANTLY asking me questions about what she should do in different scenarios. Now, this is weird because: 1. The old receptionist still works here, she's just doing something else now; 2. There's at least 3 other people who cover for her when she's out to lunch who are all still working here, and I'm not one of them; and the most important: 3. I've never really been friendly to her. I mean, I smile when I walk by and I introduced myself when she started, and I'm not impolite, but I haven't gone out of my way or ever said 'Let me know if you have any questions' because I don't think I'd have any answers.

For example: There's a beta fish in one of those tanks with a plant in the top by the reception area, and she buzzed me about it:

Nancy: I was just wondering what happens to the fish over the weekend.
Diana: I don't know anything about the fish.
Nancy: Because I gave him 5 pellets this morning, but I'm not sure if that's all he needs. Should I give him more?
Diana: Really, I don't know anything about the fish. You'll have to ask someone else.
Nancy: Oh, ok.

I have no idea. Just sudsy water all over the place. Oh and the fun stuff that got washed from under the washer and dryer.. ughhh...

So I now have to look for another apartment prospect. The one in Independence fell through. On to plan H, hehe... I called a guy in Allamuchy. Hopefully I'll get to look at that place tomorrow.
Moral of the story, don't get married unless you know without a doubt that person won't screw you over down the road. That persons credit gets linked to your own. Ah, the joys of divorce!

Riddle me this, Ezabel....if this move to AZ was supposed to be for good reasons, and we were doing it for the right reasons, and it was supposed to be a GOOD thing, then WHYWHYWHY.......WHY is Tyler having such a rough time adjusting, WHY am I feeling depressed, WHY do Adam and I still have no jobs, and WHYWHYWHY, in addition to the scorpion, spider/scorpion thingy, AND the baby tarantula I have found outside my house, did I find a King Snake in my bedroom tonight as we were getting ready to leave for the meeting? Yeah, that's right, a SNAKE!! IN MY HOUSE!!!! Doesn't that only happen in like, India?

I am angry/sad today.

You'll get used to it. That's a big adjustment. The critters on the other hand....I think anyone would freak out unless you're an Apache or Navajo. I understand your frustration in general though. I'm going through a bit of my own lately.

you can't expect to magically adjust to a foreign area overnight. i had to pray often for Jehovah to remind me or help me focus on the real reasons why we moved and remember why it was so good. there are going to be problems and challenges no matter where you go-doesn't mean it wasn't the best overall choice. homesickness stinks, but it subsides as you draw closer to the friends in the hall and get into the swing of things. time is the best (and sometimes only)healer.

as for the snake-WHOA. aren't king snakes poisonous? how did you get it out?

specialk specialkOG 2003 ·

The general snake rule here is "black on yellow, he's a mellow fellow", and "Black on red, you're dead."

This one was black on yellow. I think there are some around here that are, but from the website I looked on last night, the only ones that are common are the coral snakes and the rattlesnakes. I'll be able to spot both of those a mile away, hahaha.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 ·

it'll be okay! And think of it as a biology lesson. I think i just read up on Arizona king snakes and they are not poisonous? I mean sure it's a little messed up to have a snake in your house, I get freaked out when I see an ant. But .. hey you'll have cool stories to tell.

Arizona doesn't mess around!

When I lived in florida, we were always inundated with lizards, frogs and of course, alligators. You adjust.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

My boyfriend has a king snake..for a pet. Yep..cool stuff.

Don't worry K! Just pray a lot and make friends in the congregation and..like buy a sword to kill the next snake that dares enters your house.

How did you get rid of it from your bedroom?

specialk specialkOG 2003 ·

I threw a shoe box over it, slid a thin book underneath, carried it outside, and tossed it into our backyard. I have a theory of how it got in now....which means it may have been my fault.
Our "laundry room" is in our garage, and a few times I have left clean clothes in the basket, by the dryer. I'm thinking the snake got in the garage, and thought it might be nice to snuggle up inside some warm clothes, and found it's way into the basket. When we saw it in the bedroom, it was right next to one of the laundry baskets I had recently brought in. So....that was good times.

specialk specialkOG 2003 ·
