starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003 ·

i am the big 4-6. if u look at my profile u will see the fam and I.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ·

yo i clicked your picture, and somebody stole your kids! unless, you gave birth to a rock. in which case, science is better than i thought.

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003 ·

no no u got to click on the websight link to see em. giving birth to a human is proabaly harder then giving birth to a rock! OW! there are 3 photo albums i forgot which has the kids.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

I hate those videos where they show women giving birth. Why do I ever want to see that? I they trying to start a drop in the population by scaring people into not giving birth?

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003 ·

i think theyre beautiful, once YOU experience it you will to!

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 ·

i agree that it's pretty darn disgusting..yet another reason never to have kids.

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003 ·

btw, you'll get there soon enuff. (old age that is)

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 ·

i plan never to reach old age. old is what you make of it.

malibu malibuOG 2001 ·

wasn't there a baby boom after that?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

kind of. nine months later the local hospitals were flooded with women giving birth!

malibu malibuOG 2001 ·

yup i knew it!!

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003 ·

yea there WAS!!!! nothing else to do....

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

I was at the beach..and didn't know it was going on. ahahaha the sun was still shining!

deanh77 deanh77Founder ·

I was in Mexico. which is great, cause I work in NYC. so I probably would have had to sleep on the street or something.

malibu malibuOG 2001 ·

i was turning my skin to a deep golden brown at the beach before i had to go back to a sandy campsite and watch rachel and nicole make dinner and not help them.

malibu malibuOG 2001 ·

this journal title sadly reminds me of the song "the night chicago died." there is some line in there about the lights going out.

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

i was in massachusettes...and we had power!!!! HAHA!
