Scotty, you can't use sarcasm against J. It's simply not done.

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=blue,left,300]then can we use it against you?

[/shadow][/glow]

You can try, and it will be funny and amusing. Then we'll laugh at you and you'll be confused and oblivious.

-It's very cold today.
-You can hear about my day here.
-Eh, I always say that, and I bet no one's interested anyway.
-I wrote a brief account of my day and then ten facts you're guaranteed not to know about me.
-Most are weird, I assure you.
-Tasha sent me a song by River Dance (celtic chill-out music) and it's really beautiful.

My sister and I are both sick.

I took some tylenol. I can't take another until 10.

I prefer ibuprofen but we don't have any.

I wish we had some dayquil.

What should I take for a sore throat and runny nose?

I have tea and I'm heating up some lentils.

I need some water.

My parents went to Madison to drop some stuff off for my sister, and now they're in Tuxedo, NY to see my dad's friend's band and to eat.

He was in Chicago from noon ish on Thursday til noon ish on Friday.

Yesterday I had a burrito at the Mexican restaurant along with some Mexican soda.

It was good.

-I've heard of The Brave Little Toaster someplace.
-I think I heard the title but wasn't sure if it was a real movie or not.
-That was the same experience I had with Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, which I've seen, some time ago.
-Both "Toaster" and "Tomatoes" certainly have great titles.
-My mother says that things like the Nameless Novel thread glitch have happened a lot on a Proboard she frequents--large portions of a long thread just vanish.
-I don't think I can come up with ten facts that no one's guaranteed to know about me.
-I'm really not entirely sure how much a lot of people know about me...
-We've decided that we're going to the new Italian restaurant that replaced the one we really liked.
-If it's really good, I'll probably decide to go there for my birthday.
-I find that when I have a sore throat, sucking on a hard candy helps.
-I like Jolly Ranchers.
-I can't stand those menthol/eucalyptus/whatever losenges, though.

My sister told me to drink orange juice since it has viamin c.

My lentils were good.

I need medicine. srth4t6j

-Now I really want to eat out at a restaurant.
-I can think of two which were really good.
-The sky is really blue outside.

-It's in the distance, hidden by trees, and I have to twist my neck to see it.
-So I can only see a cloud in the sky if I try really hard.
-Oh, and the sun's shining really brightly.
-Hm, I wonder what kind of bird that was.
-Looked like a crow, or something of the family.
-A virus checker window just came up, saying that no viruses had been detected.
-Maybe I'll do one of my occasional full virus/spyware checks this morning.

-I might as well.

[Antenora]

-I enjoyed my dinner at the new Italian restaurant last night.

[Dante]

-Our antivirus program used to take around twenty minutes to run, but I think it takes longer now.
-Oh, and I was about half-an-hour off in my estimated times of departure/arrival.
-We left at about half-eleven, and returned around half-three.
-But I had to look at some photographs and sort them out first.
-Speaking of which:



-A path in the maze.



-A view of the maze from "Victory Bridge."



-In another photograph, somebody was standing in that archway.







-It is odd how a building ruined can look more beatiful than the building intact.

-I've seen a lot of Canada geese, and the geese at the zoo didn't look quite like that.
-My parents are going out shopping to buy something for my father's mother.
-She wants posters to decorate her new house.

[Dante]

-Strangely enough, the geese near the maze were mostly Canada geese.
-Now that I think about it, they're the only sort of goose I've seen for a while.
-I feel a little ill, too.
-Yeah, it was a pretty cool maze.
-It was actually mostly shaped like an owl.
-It must have looked pretty neat from directly overhead.
-My father's reading right now, but I can't tell what book it is.
-Oh, it's A Hat Full Of Sky.
-He got that quite a while ago, but I'm not sure if he read it before passing it onto me.
-Ever since he started reading it, he's been saying "Crivens" a lot.
-I wonder what lesson I have tomorrow afternoon?
-I think it's Economics, but it might be Maths.
-I'm pretty sure it's Economics, though.
-In fact, yes, I'm almost confident.
-I'm using my semi-photographic memory to try and recall what the options sheet said.
-That had the days on it.
-Economics was in Block A, which I think was Monday afternoon and Thursday morning.
-And I do have Economics on Thursday morning.
-I'm very confident that it wasn't Tuesday and Thursday, anyway.
-And I don't have Economics on Wednesday.
-Mystery solved.
-I like reading extracts from book reviews on the back of books.

-I'm starting to feel rather tired.

No one wants to pay to see your happiness.
I want to go to the Coldplay concert just to see Rilo Kiley.
We were standing on the corner on Friday, after the art fair deal, and a car of people invited, well there were two I think, invited us to go see their band play at the coffee shop near us.
I like that we have a coffee shop, it gives the illusion that there are cool people in that town.
The band had the name of Ashlynns former boyfriend, which as it turns out was Ashlynn's former boyfriend which is weird because he went off to college but apparently he comes back to play in his little band.
We asked the lead singer why it couldnt have been named after him and then there was a green light so they drove off.
It's insanely fun to sit on a bench and talk to people in their cars.
Except Paul won't let us bark at the dogs in the cars.
If you bark at a dog you don't know they always bark back.
I like my friends because Megan is the only other person I know who will bark her lungs out with me.
