Oh, OF COURSE, Miss D.! Lord, what do you think I think of you? I have no doubt that there would be scores, if not outright HORDES of men at your doorstep would you give them even the slightest indication that you were available... But I also know that you are dedicated to your man, and I respect and admire you for that even as I offer you chocolate and zucchinis

Sometimes I need to thrash myself against a wall for being so devout. Please excuse me while I do that now... Thanks...

While I will not deny your right as a citizen of these United States to thrash yourself against the wall if you want to, you know you really shouldn't -- it's bad for the

Heh....
Dude... Wait... you might have read this in my Fan Club... but I think this is funny....
A Co-worker has a neice who studied in England this fall and loved it... yee hah.... I have another co_worker, about 25, who is engaged to some Mormon chick who is doing mission work in England. I think this is soooo funny:
"Why don't you go to college in England!??" I asked.
"Too much of a temptation. I have a girlfriend there."
"***A*** girlfriend!?? .... you have other ones!??"
"Well, I mean... my girlfriend...."
"Ok then. That's better."
"My fiancee, actually."
"Yep."
"Blah blah blah and we even sign our letters 'husband' and 'wife'"
(I attempt not to gag) "Isn't that a bit pre-emptive!??"
"YEAH", the lady with the neice in the UK demands.
"Well, it just shows how possessive she is," he explains.
The woman advises him to drop her right away.
Well, I thought it was funny., dammit...!!! :P He's so silly about this girl... for a long time he wasn't admitting that they were going out. Too much of a temptation.... Christ...
...and a former co-worker was in the store today and she gave me a hug, I asked her what was new and she pointed to her stomach. She THEN introduced me to her BOYFRIEND, who was not at all polite or conversive. Yuck!??? Yuck.... See, the BOYFRIEND thing is a big deal to me, because they were supposed to get married... in the fall, I think... weird people... very weird...
The weirdest bit is that this pregnant girly was taking care of her cousin's four year old daughter. About ten minutes earlier, a former co-worker from my former job said, "Hey Sexy," scaring the hell out of me until I turned around and recognised her. And she proceeded to tell me she had moved out and was.... staying... with.... a roomate... who has... a four year old daughter!!! AND YES!!! This is the other girl's cousin's child!!! WOW... That was weird.

Whoa, dude, that's some freaky sh**! It sounds like one of those wierd stories christians tell you to try to convince you that there is a god -- or rather, that THEIR god is THE god... It is an interesting story, but it does very little to support their side of the issue...
Hmmmm, that may not have made any sense, but hell, it's a Monday and I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee, so I guess it's not too bad.
Soooooooo... How are you today, Miss D.?

Dragonfly. "A poet can survive everything but a misprint"-- Oscar Wilde Posted Dec 17, 2001
I'm doing well... I am trying to find the cheapest flight to England... I'm upset that they are all ending up in England at ten am, when the earliest Ian can get me is four... pm!!! And I can not get a hold of him.... 
If there's stuff to do at Gatwick, I wouldn't mind being stuck there for six hours... or would I!?? He's been there... I need his opinion.... 
I just might end up buying the darn tickets.... ebookers and expedia and AOL travel have the closest prices, so far... and they are cheaper than cheaptickets dotty commie...
Ironic, isn't it!?? TRavelocity is the worst... now you know...

You know, it's the darndest thing... I've thought about that for about two days now, and I just cannot think of anything to say in reply, so I'm going to take the easy way out and say
OK? OK!

Dragonfly. "A poet can survive everything but a misprint"-- Oscar Wilde Posted Dec 19, 2001
Well, the ten am arrival is ok.... Ian has a break midday on Wednesdays, so he can be at the airport by around a quarter to noon... so if the flight is late an hour, it will still be ok... YAY!!!
My tickets came in the mail today. THAT was superfast...
My tuition fee notice also arrived in the mail.

Sweeeet ! I'm very happy for you -- it's not every day that someone (especially one as deserving as you) gets the opportunity to visit their love...
Just out of curiousity, how is the tuition up there? I only really ask because my girl goes to Fort Lewis down here, and while she is on scholarship and all that, I was sorta wondering how the tuitions compared...
Official Apology to my lovely Musemother
Dragonfly. "A poet can survive everything but a misprint"-- Oscar Wilde Posted Dec 19, 2001
Metro State is supposed to be the best school for your tuition dollar. It said that on one of the class schedules... I pay about $1500, maybe $1600 a semester for four classes, and that includes textbooks!!! But it doesn't include parking(It's a commuter campus, no dorms) or meals. Or the gas one uses to get down there.
If you want to have your health insurance through the school, that's about $410 more each semester of enrollment.
So 12 credits for $1500-$2000 per semester.
CSU was about $6000 a semester, before considering food and books. But that did consider the courses, I think...
At one point I was about to transfer to CSU, but Mom pointed out that I could either go there for school or travel to New Zealand(a long time dream), but not both. ::phew:: I made the best decision!!! I love Metro!!! YAY!!!
And thank you for all the sweet things you have said about me getting to go to England.
Be sure and check your e-mail, too... virus alert... an actual serious one... I deleted it the first time, and then Ian, who sent it to me originally, asked if I had done what it instructed. All taken care of now!!!

::snort:: Actually, even if it had been real, it probably couldn't have affected my computer, as MacOS doesn't use *.exe files and has considerable difficulty even identifying them, let alone actually executing them, but THANK YOU for the heads up anyway, even if it was a hoax...

Ian sent me the forward, and I deleted it and then on the phone he told me that I should retrieve it and follow the instructions, because his computer whiz friend detected it, and he found it, and my computer could die!!!
And I was confused and scared and told him I didn't understand how I could have gotten the virus...
It was traumatic. He doesn't seem very embarrassed about it... that's the English for you.
I got an e-mail this morning from an old pen pal in Sweden. All she wanted was to know if I could resend the virus warning, because she accidentally deleted it... :;sigh:: Some friend. No contact for two or three years and that's all she writes... argh...

But that's a bit mean!!!
Mean... that's what the bosses have been lately....
"You have to wear a hairnet and have your hair above your collar and no loose ends.... and what's that!??"
(A loose end, herrrmmm.... I don't happen to have bobby pins with me for some odd reason today....)
"YOu will probably have to trim that!!!!"
CAN WE SPELL ANAL!???

Heh heh heh ....
I know the feeling -- all bosses are seeming to be getting all anal recently -- I'm not sure why, though.
At the company that I work for, they hired these "efficiency and corporate restructuring specialists" that are a complete joke as far as I can tell... They're paying this one guy something like $200.00 an HOUR to figure out why we didn't make as much money this year as we did last year -- so far, all he's accomplished is changing my title... not even my job description, just my title. It's weird -- I mean, the dude's been here for like 2 weeks, and I can't see a damn bit of difference... Oh well -- it's their money to waste, I guess.
How was your holiday, Miss D.??? I had a good one -- got 5 days off, installed a tight stereo in my new car and got smashed. That about wraps my Christmas up, but I ain't complainin'!

Oh, Thog, you called Boston a terrible city

Oh, Thog, you called Boston a terrible city .
Well, please don't tell anyone else. We Bostonians
don't like to let our dirty little secret get out. Dragonfly
will be discreet, of course.
Boston Common is very pretty right now, with all the
trees silhouetted with colored lights. Faneuil Hall is
pretty exciting most of the year. The only places you don't
want to stay for too long are the corner of Tremont
and Boylston Streets, and Clarendon Street next
to the Hancock Tower. The bitter winter winds
are powerful in those two spots. The worst wind-tunnel
effect is in the courtyard around the Earth Sciences
Building at MIT, but few tourists would go there.
Dragonfly:
If I was the one travelling to London alone, I would be
delighted to have six glorious hours in which to explore
the city, browsing in shops, sampling the local food,
maybe standing near Buckingham Palace to see the changing
of the guard.
