Journal bellus quies's Journal: *or* maybe I should write about 19

Journal by bellus quies

I want to write something in my blog today, but I haven't figured out a topic yet. I could talk about my painting my room (2 more coats of blue needed) *or* I could expound on a topic a friend and I were chatting about yesterday *or* I could talk about something that is becoming of growing interest (but something's will remain mine alone) *or* about my upcoming trip to UT for a cousins wedding *or* how highlighters are my new best friend *or* how I finally put up the new wall calendar in my cube at work (I went from last year's Harley Davidson calendar to ~1800's oil paintings of fairies, not too much of a change :) *or* I could talk about the guy at the gym this morning who kept staring at me *or* my attempt at embarrassing the grocery store check out guy *or* maybe about the tree I say "good morning" to on my way to work *or* maybe about how I throw automobile raves while stuck in traffic *or* possibly about my love of day after not quite hip hugger jeans *or* about my plans for finally getting internet at home *or* maybe how odd the squirrel-kitten hybrid at home acts now that she's in heat and removing her womb will be scheduled ASAP *or* I could talk about how susceptible I am to tickling *or* my quest in finding out what types of alcohol I like (beer isn't one of them) and my ever changing opinion of it's influences *or* how my tastes in clothing are changing *or* how I like to walk around my apartment as I brush my teeth and never stay in the bathroom *or* the way the garden smells as I walk from my front door to my car *or* well...ok it seems like this just wrote itself. buhbye for now.

    It's cold here. Bring warm clothes.
  • how I finally put up the new wall calendar in my cube at work

    I've been getting weirder looks than usual because of my choice of 2003 calendars. What's wrong with Gargoyles? (The stone features, not the Saturday Morning Cartoon.) Some are silly, some are ugly, but they're all cute to me! ;)

      Calenders in the office allways seem to be a good conversational starter. Yuu walk by someone's cube, you mention thier calender, instant conversation. My friend has a Powerpuff Girls (PPG) themed cube at work, so the guys send her PPG pictures, PPG pez dispensers, PPG imitation fruit drink.

      And, yes gargoyles are fun :) and you get the added benefit of keeping bad spirits at bay (does that include bosses?)
  • I'ld say that your best bet would be to write about how hard it is to come up with journal topics. ;->

    On the other hand, I'ld prefer to think of the JE above as an ode to some positive sides of ADD.

      Please elaborate. Your view of what is positive might be different than mine.

      And I never turn down an opportunity to have others expound on my good aspects ~_~ I welcome any and all compliments. [and in my reading last night, I found that ADDers tend to interperet lack of good praise as that something is being done wrong (and yes, I did recognize this behavior in myself more often than not), it's part of the hypersensitive thing. Yet another facet to be aware of and temper my responses to the outside world]

  • So I'm not alone in this world.
    Any touch along just about anywhere on my skin is extremely prone to feeling ticklish. I quiver like a bowl full of jelly on top of a paint mixer. It's hard, the last time I was in close intimitate quarters with a real live human being she kept on pulling back because she couldn't understand what was going on with me.
    • The odd thing with me is that the highest level of laughter is silent, where I'm laughing so hard that nothing is coming out. Previous to that are the eye watering and serious giggles phases.
      • hmmm... so where does the laugh so hard you piss yourself phase fit in there ermm... fortunately people don't intentionslly tickle me that hard because i will if they tickle me too hard --;;;
        usually the wild involuntary thashing phase is enough to make them stop...
        • I've never gotten to the soiling yourself stage of tickling/laughing fits. The ground rule I've always had is that when the ticklee says stop, the tickler does so. This rule seems to keep tickling as an enjoyable thing by everyone involved, so the negative range of the laughing categorization rarely gets breached.
          • well I haven't either, partly because I'm kinda a big baby about being tickled. It hurts me after a point. I guess it would be different if I trusted them to tickle me so I felt good and not bad because of it. Most of my memories of being tickled were my sisters trying to torment me, stuff like that.
            • Ah sisters, yes we, um I mean they have a tendency toward tickle torture. I am the oldest of 4 girls (no brothers) and yes; we got carried away at times. But we did make it to adulthood and are all friends, so it wasn't anything irreconcilable (ooo, look at that, I just used a double negative :)~
              • I have three sisters also, but i'm the youngest, and only brother. When it comes to gramatical abuse, I prefer the comma, ah yes, the comma. To abuse the comma one must first, I say is that more comma abuse, make interjections. It also makes a good one eye winking smiley , that is if you want to pretent you only have one eye. ,-) I of course have two, but they only amount to one good eye, what with them both being nearsighted. Especially since you can't use 3-d shutter glasses with prescription eye glasses and so you're left with polarized 3-d effects.
                Hmm... now how did i get to talking about myopia when i started replying about tickling?
                • Hmm... now how did i get to talking about myopia when i started replying about tickling?

                  No worries, I am at one with the seemingly random topic changes.

                  That's gotta suck not being able to see 3D movies. You miss all the wonder of the Michael Jackson 3D space spectacular at Disneyland. Wait, that's not exactly a bad thing, is it. Maybe you can lead the market in 3-d glasses for the myopically challenged, now that would be cool. Then you could adapt the Matrix movies to be viewed in 3D and set off a new fad of the computer enhanced tactile motion picture experience. But then you'd eventually have to involve the 4th and 5th dimention in your productions to beat out your competitors, and everyone *knows* how tricky the (n+1)th dimention can be, so you might as well just leave it be.

                  • I can see three dimentional movies, as long as the device fits over my prescription glasses. places like disney land use polarized lenses for the 3-d and they no longer need to have red and blue to do polarized 3-d effecrs. I was refering to electronic shutter based 3-d, which is primarily for PCs. Because they electronically prevent you from seeing with the left eye when the right eye fram is being shown they need to be able to cover the entire viewing area. if they're in front of the glasses though they don't and they don't fit behind my glasses, either. not to mention even when I've tried wearing them over my glasses they pushed my glasses down into my nose in a painful way.
                    So I can see 3-d, as long as the device comfortably fit over my glasses. I was able to see the 3-d effects at honey i shrunk the audience, and the bugs life 3-d things at disney world. However, I can't play quake 3 with 3-d shutter glasses that are apparently only made for people who wear contacts or have 20-20 vision.
                    Anyways I hope this clears up everything.
                    • Anyways I hope this clears up everything.

                      Yep, cleared it right up and took the wind out of my joke. Bye bye sarcasm, you were nice while you lasted ^_^

                      It's all right. Just remember to put down the technical glasses and pick up your rosy pair once in a while.

                    • Just remember that sarcastic tone of voice doesn't carry very well across the internet.
                      Either that or I couldn't tell a sarcastic joke if it bit me in the ass. Now puns, those I get, In fact there is at least one in this post. :)
                      They get a little pungent if used too often though.
                    • Ah, the puns. Hence, the Piers Anthony reference in your journal (Feblueberry).

                      Yes, I would have to agree that there is much lost in the translation of human conversation boiled down to a text only format. You miss the non-verbal cues, the vocal inflections, and all the little nuances that being in the presence of another allows for. Online is nice, you have access to many more people than your specific geographic location, communication doesn't have to occur at once, conversations can spread across numerous days. But actual face-to-face interaction with people can never be replaced.
                    • Pardon my interjection in the conversation at this moment but I thought you would be interested in the reference at NewScientist [newscientist.com] I also have "irrationaly tickilsh zones " and myopia correcting spectacles, would I accept correction free vision if it forced me to come out from behind the ramparts of -ve diopter specs?
