Katrina:
whoooo hoooo!!
Katrina:
It''s
Sherry!!!
Sherry:
hi!
Sherry:
are you throwing confetti?
Sherry:
for me :)
Katrina:
pfft,
yeah!!!
Sherry:
lol
Sherry:
feeling better?
Katrina:
yep! lots!
Katrina:
like
Katrina:
phreaky lots
Sherry:
excellent
Katrina:
I think the
wood stove is broken and kicking out some bizarre fume
Katrina:
cause I'm
all high and stuff
Sherry:
lol
Katrina:
it's bizarre
Sherry:
you could start a new drug
for people with wood stoves
Sherry:
something you have to bake
into pottery or something, then you just set it on your stove and it heats
up and emits something that makes you feel goooood
Sherry:
or is there already
something like that? I'm not up on all that so much, lol
Katrina:
I..... LIKE
IT!
Sherry:
I have a little gas cast
iron stove, so I'll buy one. You could be rich
Katrina:
cool!
Katrina:
I need to be
rich
Katrina:
but Eric is
all giddy about his jeep, so that buys me a month at least of good vibe
Katrina:
if he gets
all stupid all I have to do is say, "Jeeeeep" and he'll lull back down
Katrina:
AGGGHHHH!!!
Katrina:
A friend
just sent me a Coors game
Katrina:
and I'm not
going to be mean and even give you the link
Katrina:
you count
the bottles of Coors on a wall
Katrina:
and it goes
2 and then 4 and then 9 and then 11 and then someone screams and a big
frickin Frankenstein's Monster jumps onto the screen
Katrina:
and you have
a heart attack and die
Sherry:
lol
Sherry:
no thanks, I'll pass on the
dying part
Katrina:
oh man. I'm
looking at this new Pierce Bronson movie
Katrina:
with Woody
Harrelson
Katrina:
and WH is
trying to be all cool
Katrina:
and he just
looks like the guy from Kingpin
Sherry:
lol
Sherry:
oh your new hotness dude is
quite something, by the way
Sherry:
I've never seen him before
Katrina:
oh he's
amazing
Katrina:
I wish I
could ship my TiVo to you so you could see him
Katrina:
you should
download some of his music
Katrina:
he's awesome
Katrina:
so much the
new hotness
Katrina:
crap, I'll
brb. Gotta go dress Nathan as a ninja
Katrina:
OK, Ninja
accomplished
Sherry:
lol
Katrina:
I don't do
any costumes that take longer than 4.8 minutes to assemble
Sherry:
oh man
Sherry:
I'm still working on
costumes
Sherry:
and it's most definitely
taking me longer to assemble it all
Sherry:
they don't get to wear them
to school though, so I don't have to have anything until Sunday, thank
goodness
Katrina:
see, you're
young
Katrina:
I don't mess
around
Sherry:
and stupid
Katrina:
nah, just
energetic
Sherry:
I got the bright idea to
use white duct tape for the mummy
Katrina:
eeep
Sherry:
well on clothes, not right
on her, lol
Katrina:
oh, ok, I
was thinking it’d be great until time to take it off
Sherry:
I taped up an old sweat
suit, and it worked good
Sherry:
but
Sherry:
I have no idea what to do
for her head now :\
Katrina:
pfft
Katrina:
just use
gauze
Katrina:
clip it to
her hair with bobby pins
Katrina:
and start
winding
Sherry:
yeah, I'm thinking I
probably will have to - gonna have to go buy some
Katrina:
trust me,
toilet paper doesn't a mummy make
Sherry:
yeah, lol, I nixed tp right
away
Sherry:
if it rained, we'd have
quite the mess I figured
Katrina:
yeah
Sherry:
now the spider I have
mostly under control, but I may have to sew a little for that and I don't
have much time
Sherry:
which is why I should
probably be doing that stuff instead of sitting here...but it feels so
good to just sit here for a change, my computer barely knows me these days
Katrina:
you're a
woman possessed
Katrina:
see, next
year you'll be older
Katrina:
and I can
save you from yourself
Katrina:
all through
the year, I amass costumes from thrift stores
Katrina:
and they
just go through and pick
Katrina:
at Halloween
Katrina:
although
Katrina:
Dylan wasn't
into any of the current ones
Katrina:
so I
actually laid out $15 for a power rangers costume
Katrina:
but now he
has ninja envy
Katrina:
and I think,
though he will not admit it, a tad of school envy
Katrina:
the ninja
was his last year
Sherry:
oh yeah, I'm sure the
school envy is there on days like this
Katrina:
yeah
Sherry:
if my kids knew some kids
get to wear their costumes to school (our school doesn't allow it), they'd
be demanding a new school asap
Sherry:
they're all into halloween
this year
Katrina:
LOL
Katrina:
Delena's
middle school gave out a paper yesterday on costume restrictions
Katrina:
and they
were reasonable, no depicting drug or alcohol use, no gory body parts,
still follow the dress code, no dangerous shit
Katrina:
but one
thing that stood out
Katrina:
is they were
forbidden from dressing up as Osama Bin Laden
Katrina:
Eric said,
"It's ON. I'm picking her up wearing my Saudi gear"
Sherry:
wow
Sherry:
that's interesting
Katrina:
yeah
Katrina:
oh
Katrina:
or Freddy
Krueger
Katrina:
it's
actually in the same sentence
Sherry:
do that many kids really
want to dress up as Osama anyway? I'd think it'd be mostly off their radar
Katrina:
for real
Sherry:
my kids don't have a clue
who Osama is
Sherry:
Freddy Krueger and Osama?
lol
Katrina:
these are
middle schoolly kids tho
Sherry:
hee
Katrina:
so they
might
Katrina:
is that so
funny or what?
Sherry:
it's the new axis of evil!
Katrina:
I am
picturing the teachers sitting around the table making these rules
Sherry:
My rule would be no Chuckie
Sherry:
is Chuckie that little doll
freak?
Sherry:
is that his name?
Katrina:
yep
Sherry:
he frightens me
Katrina:
"NO DRESSING
UP LIKE GWEN STEFANI!!"
Sherry:
no Chuckie, no Freddie and
no Osama
Sherry:
lol
Sherry:
Gwen's cool!
Katrina:
"NO AVRIL
LEVIGNE!"
Katrina:
or however
it's spelled
Katrina:
of course,
that breaks dress code anyway
Sherry:
Avril is scary though - I'm
on board with that
Sherry:
add her to the evil axis
Katrina:
lol
Katrina:
agggh!
Katrina:
gotta get
nate to the bus
Katrina:
brb
Katrina:
whooohooo!
Katrina:
packed away
on the bus
Sherry:
off for a ninja good time
Katrina:
yep
Sherry:

My new hotness of the moment
Sherry:
I love him *sigh*
Katrina:
hey, I
already called the hotness!!!
Katrina:
you may NOT
supercede my hotness so soon!
Sherry:
lol
Sherry:
yes well this isn't a world
decree, it's just a personal decree ;) Your hotness is not superceded, I
promise
Katrina:
nice save
Sherry:
He's on Lost (which is the
best ever and you should be watching it) - other than that, he's basically
nobody
Katrina:
LOL
Katrina:
you're
getting all TV bossy
Sherry:
lol
Katrina:
I kinda like
it ;)
Sherry:
oh yay! It's time to start
watching to see if Detroit will burn down tomorrow night. Always great fun
Katrina:
they burn
down detroit?
Sherry:
they try
Sherry:
it's now renamed "angels
night" in Detroit and about a million volunteers go patrol the streets
trying to prevent arsonists
Katrina:
interesting
Sherry:
I used to have no idea that
it was pretty much just a michigan thing - it's a big deal, like if you
live anywhere near detroit you don't leave the house that night - too
scary
Katrina:
wow
Katrina:
that is some
serious indoctrination
Katrina:
so this has
been going on for a while then?
Sherry:
yeah, in the 80's, Devils
Night was huge - hundreds of fires (above the normal however many) set -
like whole houses (mostly vacant) burned down, etc
Sherry:
they have like 40,000
people patrolling the streets now all night that night, and there's always
a curfew for under 18
Katrina:
that's
really damned freaky
Katrina:
we just go
get candy
Sherry:
lol
Katrina:
ONCE I had
my jack-o-lantern stolen
Sherry:
even out here, the night
before Halloween is a big prank night - mostly harmless. Lot's of tp'ing
peoples houses, smashing pumpkins, etc - people just pretty much stay in
after dark because you never quite know what will go on
Katrina:
y'all are a
violent bunch
Sherry:
People used to actually
flee Detroit though, getting hotel rooms and staying out of the city
Sherry:
pfft yeah, lol
Sherry:
we're all pyromaniacs and
pumpkin haters ;)
Katrina:
lol
Sherry:
now on Halloween itself,
everybody puts down their lighters and propane torches and we just hand
out candy, having wreaked enough havoc for the year the night before, we
take let the little kids have peace for trick or treating
Katrina:
that's sweet
Sherry:
we think so
Katrina:
:)
Sherry:
we might burn down your
house, but we'd never ever deny a kid his candy - that's just wrong
Katrina:
I am totally
on board with that
Sherry:
plus, we're one of the
fattest states, and we'd never jeopardize that
Sherry:
speaking of candy
Sherry:
the new snickers crunchy is
just awesome
Katrina:
yessss?
Katrina:
yeah?
Haven't had one yet
Sherry:
better than the original
(but I prefer crunchy to chewy so I'm biased I suppose)
Katrina:
I'm a chewy
folk
Sherry:
oh then you might not like
it much
Katrina:
I love the
original, though
Katrina:
mmmmm
Sherry:
that commercial campaign
they did awhile back about a snickers being like a meal? That was
effective because I still think about having a snickers instead of
breakfast
Katrina:
LOL
Katrina:
definitely
Katrina:
to show what
kind of town I live in
Katrina:
there is a
raffle at the fall festival tomorrow night for a cord of wood
Katrina:
lol
Sherry:
lmao
Sherry:
yep, that says it all, lol
Katrina:
I imagine it
will get a lot of attention
Sherry:
I'm sure
though, so that works out fine
Sherry:
I almost killed several
wild turkeys with the truck the other day
Katrina:
that must
have been an experience
Katrina:
I saw a
little herd of them last weekend too
Sherry:
turkeys tend to strut
around all entitled like - which is odd for something that has an entire
holiday centered around eating them
Katrina:
yeah, they
got issues
Katrina:
James
Marsten is so much the total and complete bomb
Katrina:
Marsters
Katrina:
whatever
Katrina:
Spike
Sherry:
but not to supercede The
New Hotness
Katrina:
lol
Katrina:
nope
Katrina:
I want pizza
hut buffet
Katrina:
*pout*
Katrina:
All I’ve had
is eggs and chicken
Katrina:
I wont' tell
you which came first
Sherry:
lol!
Sherry:
when we were dating, Scott
and I had this big argument about the "if a tree falls in the forest and
no one is there to hear it does it make a sound" thing
Sherry:
it was nasty
Sherry:
now we avoid such
conversations
Katrina:
you fought
over that?
Sherry:
yes!
Sherry:
it's because he's so
illogical
Sherry:
it's all his fault
Katrina:
I must know
what side you were on
Katrina:
dammit
Sherry:
;)
Katrina:
I demand to
know
Katrina:
*stomp*
Sherry:
honestly, I can't even
remember - which is sad
Katrina:
oh you do
too
Sherry:
but, if I were taking a
side now…
Katrina:
ok
Katrina:
that will do
Sherry:
I'd go with sound being the
manifestation of the eardrum, so no, there's no sound if no one hears it
Katrina:
lol
Sherry:
don't know if that's true
though - and honestly, I might have been on the other side
Sherry:
because I've changed my
entire outlook since I was 19, lol
Katrina:
that's funny
Sherry:
you know, I need a
drumstick
Sherry:
not the turkey kind either
Sherry:
and you? is there a sound?
Katrina:
i think that
since sound is measured in decibels, which are capable of being measured
with machinery, with or without an ear present, I'd go with yes, it makes
a sound
Sherry:
woo whoo!
Sherry:
we can have our first big
argument!
Katrina:
but
Katrina:
I won't
fight you over it
Sherry:
lol
Katrina:
nah, Bush
and Kerry
Sherry:
actually, I won't fight
over it either since I think I'm on the wrong side :(
Sherry:
oh yeah, we'll always have
the presidential race!
Katrina:
I'm not sure
either on the tree thing (as opposed to the Bush thing)
Katrina:
since the
machinery probably (and I dunno) measure decibels by mimicking an eardrum
Sherry:
oh and see
Sherry:
if that machinery is there
to measure the sound, then there's a sound, but if it's not...is there
still a sound?
Katrina:
what?
Sherry:
lol
Sherry:
like if no ear, and no
sound measuring machinery is present...then can it still be a "sound"?
Katrina:
yeah
Katrina:
just no one
hears it
Sherry:
lol
Sherry:
see? this is how the
argument went I believe, lol
Katrina:
I’ll have to
call in the big guns
Katrina:
and ask Eric
Sherry:
it's as big as the abortion
debate - when is a sound, a sound? when it is made or when it is heard?
Sherry:
we can start pro-ear and
pro-actual sound groups and burn each other's headquarters down
Sherry:
we should headquarter in
detroit - so it'll fit right in
Katrina:
that's like
saying if a person is born, lives 80 years in a cave, then dies in the
cave and their bones decompose to powder, did they live?
Sherry:
well sure they lived
Katrina:
the ever
present arrogance of humans that they must personally experience something
(or a representative of their species) for it to exist
Sherry:
but sound is only waves
until it hits an eardrum type device, so are the waves "sound" or is that
not what it is until it's "heard"
Sherry:
lol
Sherry:
I think you just called me
ever presently arrogant! I'm stomping off now ;)
Katrina:
nah, not you
specifically, just humans in general are just arrogant
Katrina:
and vision
is only light variations until it hits a retina
Katrina:
so does
something really exist if it's unseen?
Sherry:
well no, it exists, but
it's not seen
Katrina:
like "we
MUST be the only living things in the universe"
Sherry:
like sound isn't sound
until it's heard
Sherry:
hee hee
Katrina:
and sound is
still sound, it's just not heard
Katrina:
right
Sherry:
lol
Sherry:
nah, it's waves, it's not
sound
Sherry:
this is the stuff
presidential candidates should debate though
Sherry:
this is the important stuff
Katrina:
we need to get
you a separate off topic column
Sherry:
yeah maybe
Sherry:
it's all stormy and rainy today
Sherry:
very fitting for Halloween
weekend, I must say
Sherry:
at 10am it looked dark enough to
be 8pm
Katrina:
we could go back to
mercurial mercurio
Katrina:
someone was just
mentioning that they miss that title
Katrina:
and loved it
Katrina:
I can't remember who
it was
Sherry:
yeah! I miss it too a bit
Sherry:
it was a good title - you have a
good title mind ;)
Katrina: :)
Sherry:
I so don't
Katrina:
we can use either for
either
Katrina:
they both work well
Katrina:
I still like Pop My
Sherry
Sherry:
yep
Katrina:
It was Kate, I think,
who mentioned missing the title
Sherry:
lol
Katrina:
who said she missed it
Sherry:
Elton John and Madonna are
spatting?
Sherry:
I'd pay to see them throw down in
a ring somewhere
Sherry:
Elton can be a bit scary when he's
pissed
Sherry:
but Madonna has more muscles
Sherry:
should be a good fight
Katrina:
oooh
Katrina:
two bitches going at
it
Sherry:
exactly
Sherry:
we can change the phrase "the
bitch is back" to "the bitches whack" and use it as the fight slogan -then
turn them loose in front of a crowd, money going to charity (and 10% to
us). It's a good strategy.
Katrina:
lol
Katrina:
love it
Sherry:
I gotta go get the kids
Katrina:
okey dokey, bye bye |
