It is snowing like crazy here. It usually takes me about 20-30 minutes to get to work. Today it took me two and a half hours. I was nearly an hour and a half late. :rolleyes:

Why do people drive so stupid?????

(sorry...just had to vent a little)

Well, there's not a cloud in the sky and the cicadas are chirping/buzzing raucously. It's morning, almost 11, and it's going to be a scorcher.

The more snow, the better! :D

Unfortunately, I only had about an hour of sleep :( because I was closely tracking the "most beautiful woman in NS" thread, then I had to get up early for a 10 am dental appointment, which went pretty good. On the way home, I turned in job applications.
And it's pretty lonely without all those fluffles flyin' around... :D j/k

It's cloudy here with some fog.

My day was pretty good! It's FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!! Woot! Let's start the party! Haha.

The only thing that went wrong was that I thought my psych class started at 9:30 but it starts at 9. So I was a little late. *looks at ceiling* But then again, it's only the second day of Friday classes!

so sick...ruined my day...

It's -38! :(

But I guess the fact that it's Friday is okay. I'm going to see Coach Carter tomorrow night...

:fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:
Thanks ;) :D

Now please pardon me while I go piss off Nihilistic Beginners :D j/k

hey, here's a thought: No one cares about your crappy little lives. Heres another one! No one cares about my crappy excuse for a life!

My day sucked until 2:45p.m.

then it got considerably better......

2:45 was when I got on the road to come here...so it is when mine got worse. I don't think I have ever been so happy to be at work.

My day was awesome. My boyfriends here for two months because he's recovering from surgery and I've taken it upon myself to take care of him, so that's pretty awesome even under the circumstances.

I live in Minneapolis, too, so I can sympathize. :(

It was a beautiful clear day, not one cloud in the deep blue sky. -24 °C, though, without the windchill, I never pay attention to windchill.

Thats cool that you get to spend lots of time with him though. Me and my boyfriend are doing the long-distance thing right now...and it sucks. I get to see him next weekend though, so at least I have something to look forward to.

Just how many NS'ers DO live in minneapolis anyway?

Mistress Kimberly, Bottle, myself...not sure who else. There're plenty that live in Minnesota, though.

i go in for training at my new job tomorrow at 4pm, and it's suposed to start blizzard-ing at noon, we're supposed to get 2 feet

I live in Minneapolis, too, so I can sympathize. :(


I was seriously freaking out...I got onto 100 north and it was going 1-5 mph...then i got onto 55 and it was going just as slow. Then i missed my turnoff, so I had to go turn around. I was so aggravated.

must've been REAL bad if you missed your turnoff going that slow

must've been REAL bad if you missed your turnoff going that slow

I think part of it was that I was so sick of being in the car that I wasn't even really paying attention anymore. Lol.

enjoy those forest fires australian bastard. But seriously, up here in calgary canada, where the weather can literally change in hour + you get 30 C temp changes, right now its -5C, athough its supposed to be fairly warm at about 10C or so on the weekend.

I like when I live in a warmer area here in canadathan northern americans it warms my heart....

Hey, at least in the cold you can put more clothes on; in the heat, you're stuffed. :p Then again, extreme heat tends not to block traffic or stop engines starting. (they just explode later. ;) )

Let me just say I need my dreams.

i like going slow better when there is NO DAMN REASON, oh yeah and i LOVE halogen headlamps on bright in a lgiht drizzle, or at any time at all

I had a History - Elizabethan England exam and did pretty well I think...but not as well as I think I did in the exam yesterday, where I didn't even have to think about what to write.

You're twenty miles away from me, so I guess I don't really need to tell you what the weather's like. It's nice that I can't see the grass anymore, though. It's about time.

You're a snow lover?

I am. :D

It's easy to love snow when you don't go outside. Everything looks so much cooler.

Hmm. I would have thought people in Minn. would have learned by now how to drive in snow. Then again, WTF do *I* know, eh? ;)

My day pretty much sucked, since I've been perforce alone all day. :(

I thought they would know how to drive in it too....i think they drive worse than Iowans do..... (i moved up here in august from ia).

Nah, it always takes a while for people to remember. This was the first snowstorm all season that gave us over an inch, which was a few weeks past the record.

Not very good, :( , i had my german and math finals :headbang: and they took two hour each. One of the teachers is a real fat head and the other is a perky homework lover :confused: . Oh well, not all days where meant to be perfect. :p

Well, the ground is all white. Coniferous trees all have snow on their branches, and they're a fabulous combination of green and white. All of the roofs are white. And at night, the sky is a light gray because of reflections off the snow. Also at night, since the snow is smooth and white, there's enough contrast to see shadows of trees in it from street lights.

In short, it just is.

It is pretty. I just always find it a lot prettier when I am looking at it from my windows at home, not at work.

Yep. That's one of the best things I love about winter :)













Too bad Minneapolis can't see that kind of beauty in the middle of summer... :D
*cough* *cough* Yay "Day After Tomorrow!" *cough* *cough* :D

In the middle of the summer you can go get your picture taken in front of the giant cherry on a spoon. I love the giant cherry on a spoon. I have my picture framed and in my living room, lol.

Oddly enough, I've never been to the Walker Art Museum. I don't know why.

Oh, yeah, that... I've seen that frequently since we moved to minnesota when I was 3, usually when it's to a doctors appointment, and I see it just before entering the Hiawatha tunnel.

EDIT: I think i've been there once... :hmm: don't remember...

I've only been down there one time. I just think its neat.

But I love the tunnel. The tunnel makes me happy.

(You can totally tell I grew up in the sh!t-middle-of-nowhere)

It's cloudy. And I have to work in an hour. :(

I will be off work in an hour and a half. Tonight is going by fast....(probably because I was so late getting here, lol).

I'm quite the opposite--I grew up in the big city, but now, for the past 5-6 years, i AM in the middle of nowhere :(

*pouts*
And that means fewer ladies for me to look at... :(

And fewer fluffles... :D (sorry, couldn't help myself ;) )

Gee, um, thanks! :D
A guy can blush, right?

I am sorry though that you live in the middle of nowhere. I feel your pain. I lived in the middle of nowhere for the first 18 years of my life.

Yes.

Yeah. The pain was made worse since I had trouble making close friends, and the friends I grew up with were back in coon rapids (i'm in Princeton). Hopefully, I'll have a job soon, and move down to the cities... :)

I started off-season training about two weeks ago, preparing for track. You know, runnin 2-3 miles a day. Haven't had a drop of Mountain Dew since I started. So today, I had the most massive caffeine headache ever recorded in the history of man. I downed two 2 liters of Mountain Dew and a couple cans of Pepsi.

Or, at least I hope it was a caffeine headache....

I hear ya...all my friends are in Ames, IA. I have like 2 decently close friends up here...but its just not the same. :(

I SLAYED my science midterm. I finished within 50 minutes, and then I had nothing to do but listen to my mp3 player and read the newspaper.

Later, I had to get a DVD back from a friend and borrow a USB cable, so that meant walking in 10F weather for about 40 minutes in two t-shirts and a flannel. Whee!

Oh, and what's with this celcius crap? This is America, people.

I agree. [Insert appropriate smiley here]

Fahrenheit! Fahrenheit! Fahrenheit! :D

Maybe I shall hire a band of cheerleaders to cheer for Fahrenheit? :D

It is snowing like crazy here.

Gorgeous 75 degrees here. Little humidity and a slight breeze. Houston in January ... woo!

Fahrenheit rocks the hiz-ouse. :D

Maybe I'll start a new thread..... :hmm:

Nah. Who cares. I started this thread anyway. You can talk about whatever you want.

Judging from my experiences in Iowa, I'd say that you know a significant portion of the state. You might even know my family. Allen Haars? Ask him about the jackass grandson who lives in Connecticut.

Uh.....I definitely don't know a significant portion of the state. I know the northwest great lakes/okoboji area (I grew up there), and i know central (Ames/Des Moines) and that is about it.

I was joking.

Now that I think about it, I think I know some people who moved to Ames. James and Lee Bridgeford, I think were their names. They were more like friends of friends, but I did know them.

I will be off work in an hour and a half. Tonight is going by fast....(probably because I was so late getting here, lol).

I only have a 3.5 hour shift, So I don't know why i'm complaining. lol

i know. :D

Ames is a fun town. I can't wait to go down there next weekend.

Ooh! You get to see your friends next weekend?

My old friends, since graduating hi school, all moved to a college for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in washington DC. 1000 miles of distance.... :(

Yeah I am way excited to see my boyfriend and my friends. My friend Bridget turned 21 this week, so it will be fun to go to the bars with her.

1000 miles is really far away. :(

Good for you! :)
We really need a "thumb's up" smiley of some sort... :hmm:
1000 miles is really far away. :(
Yeah. It is. I have yet to measure the actual distance on my Microsoft Flight simulator :D

I have family in houston. :D

Really? Schweet ... ever visit?

I also stayed up late following the thread. (By the way, I must say that not only do I recognize Mistress Kimberly, but also that she is a very lovely lady.)

My day was wonderful - although my life is riddled with problems that must be overcome (or at least should be), the truly surreal aspect that it manages to maintain is a constant factor in my self-awareness.

Perhaps it might be better said that I smell the rain more acutely after a day filled with trouble; I frequently take great interest in watching a dog go for a leisure walk with its master or mistress; I am almost invariably uplifted by even the faintest hint of a smile on another person's face.

Although I do not presume (as many do) to know myself entirely, I do believe that my ability to concentrate upon idealistic virtues and the wonderful things that constantly present themselves before me makes me a very happy person - I frequently find it impossible to complain about even the most outrageously aggravating of situations that befall me.

In short, I love life and all its beautiful twists, turns, and surprises that make it memorable and worth savoring.

So my day was absolutely fabulous. ;)

I went down there in August of 02, lol. I don't know when I will be going back.

My uncle lives by the med center (he works at MD Anderson), and my aunt and her stepkids live in the woodlands. there are some other random family members down there too.

Ah well ... should you ever find yourself back in this part of the world, I'll buy you a Coke and a pair of fuzzy dice.

How bout a snowglobe that says Don't Mess With Texas. That is what I always bring back as souvenirs for people, cuz they are so tacky. :p

Hey, don't I live in the Middle of Nowhere too? [Checks map] Yeah, I do!

lol ... well ok. A snow globe it is! Don't come in August, though ... August in Houston is what Bible people mean when they say "Hell". 110 in the shade, 100% humidity, not a drop of rain for 8 weeks ... though I suppose if you like sweating constantly ...

My day sucked until 2:45p.m.

then it got considerably better......

That's a curious coincidence... EXACTLY the same thing happened to me.

Curiouser and curiouser.

:)

We have a rule were I come from.

If you want to drive fast stick to the left lane if you wnat to drive slow use the right lane.

How was my day?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? People are such xanthippes and... :( fine thanks.
