A high school dance- danced with my exceptionally tall best friend to “Stairway to Heaven”. He basically carried me for the WHOLE song.

On a sailboat for both- the only place I can think of that has both pillows and ropes in one easy accessible area. ;)

My sarong

11. If you could have any artist(s), living or dead, design your living space for the rest of your life, who would it be? and what would it look like?

[dinzdale]

Well someone's got to say Hi and tell her we're nice, and fluffy and stuff.

Huh...'um
Hello Childstar, and a profuse and hearty welcome to the Ze-monkey paradise we call home. Please enjoy the fruits of our labours....
Please do not be scared at some of the antics, we are your friends. Clothes optional.

How was that?

[bealeblues]

you have learned well, my son.... so well in fact, that i shall pass on the lil' red welcome wagon to you....

[Deviate]

(sobbing like a wee babe)

beautiful, Dinzdale, just beautiful. that shows what a nice (sniff), sensitive (sniff), caring guy you are.

now excuse me, i need a tissue to dab my eyes...

-st.

[dinzdale]

:squeek: :squeek: :squeek:

.....Oi !! This thing is broken ! What a rip off !!!

[bealeblues]

well, i DID say that it was a "broken down" welcome wagon....

[dinzdale]

So you passed it off to me......bastard.

..and all the shite's falling out of it, and people are looking at me...............oh you just wait Blues Boy, I know where you live ! ! !

[bealeblues]

fantastic... well, when you drop by, be sure to bring a new bottle of absolut or grey goose... i'm running dry

[dinzdale]

Oh I'll show you an absolut goose laddie, and exactly where it will fit !!

...and now Childstar wont think we're nice..and the police are coming to give me ticket for this Wagon of Crap you gave me.....
....what a f**king day.....

:hangs head and sobs:


...alright Officer, I'll come quietly......

[bealeblues]

ok, now see, everyone just wondered what the hell i was laughing about.... great... my cover is blown... they thought i was billing away, being productive, and shit.... my senior partner is creeping up to my door.... thanks a hell of a lot dinz

[Deviate]

ahhhh! finally people are posting and i have NOTHING to contribute.

[red]

http://network54.com/Realm/redgrrl_realm/christmaskun.gif

[lapietra]

ack - red - I can never see what you post. Phooey. I'm sure it's really cool, too...
Think you guys scared childstar away now.... too bad 'cos I really liked his/her desert island music choice...

[bealeblues]

... and here i've been out all night trying to hustle up some bail money for dinz...

and i can't see the photo either red, but i'm sure i looked great....;)

[dinzdale]

Sorry Ms Pietra (nice new hat), but we wouldnt have had that incident if Beale hadnt sold me a broken welcome wagon.
At least i'm back on the streets today, no thanks to him, and I will clean up the mess we made.
Promise.

[AllegroNg]

Hey Dv8 or LaP, please please make me a new avatar!:) Photoshop's on the other puter. And your creativity will never cease to amaze me. And, you're very very attractive. I love what you're wearing today. Did Santa get you that? Anyway, I hope to someday be as beautiful as you. Everytime I hear that song by Christina Agularia, I think of you. Yes.

[childstar]

That was a very nice welcome from all of you. It did appear to take a turn into dysfunction, but that's the way I like it.

why is it so hard to come up with a cool user name? or is that just my problem. There is just too much stigma. I'm certainly not a child, nor am I much of a star. although I'd like to think I am.

[bealeblues]

once you choose your name, you're pretty much stuck with it.... that is, unless you're like deviate and have the number to ze's hotline and convince him to change it....

[dinzdale]

We could come up with a name for you if you told us more about yourself.....though there are some on here, you might not want to know much about (Beale for example), and you might still just want to make sure there are no crazy people on here (Beale again).

See, Miss LaP, I'm playing nice and fixing the hole in the board that Beale made....

:Bang: Hammer: Thump: ...there that should do it......

[Deviate]

ooh, somehow i've gotten off of Dinz's 'crazy' list. it's all you Beale. see how you can handle it on your own....!

-st.

[dinzdale]

There you are Deev......you've been quiet, and we were worried....

It's "you know who's" birthday, so I gave him top billing. Where's your cruel mistress Peggy these days? You 2 were more managable when she cracked the whip.

[masterofNone]

much of a star


hmmmm... a mystery starts to unfold.

[childstar]

here's the thought process that went into the name childstar.....

I can't describe myself in one word, and user names are like cars - you see a car and you assume what kind of person drives that car. which is why I don't have a car.

Anyhoo, I tried to find a user name that was least like me, but then after it was settled, I remembered that I was in a parade when I was 4, so to the people in Floodwood MN I was a star over 20 years ago.

[red]

I would drop kick my laptop if Ithought it would do me any good. DAMNIT!

[bealeblues]

see, what you have to understand childstar, is that mr. dinz is an uncouth, incorrigible soul, having toured with motorhead and all back in his youth (which explains enough right there), and presently, he is suffering from "heel envy" b/c deev and I have full access to miss nyc's collection of victoria secret stilettos, which she uses on us with reckless abandon.... so don't mind his ramblings, he is currently on medication and the doctors are trying to remain optimistic....

[dinzdale]

...and Ms Star is not fooled at all by your derogation of a caring, sensitive, thoughtful, some say handsome Englishman.

Your own and Deviate's fetish for NYC's wardrobe, probably has a lot to do with your childhood, and Ms Star would be wise to forbid you both access to her personal belongings. If asked, I will inventory her clothing, accessories etc...and keep them safe from those less able to control themselves on this board.

"Yes Doctor.....oh the blue ones, ........4 times a day.....OK"
:Gulp:
:Thud:

[bealeblues]

see..... the meds aren't working... he's still self aggrandizing.....

and the delirium hasn't subsided either.... dammit doc, get your lobotomy tools

[Deviate]

Dinz, if you're going to be inventorying women's clothing please make sure to ask before you prance around wearing the various items on your head? a lot of people have been complaining...

-st.

[bealeblues]

see? see? deev's starting it up again!

don't blame me, it's out of my hands

[dinzdale]

Surely not a LOT of people. Most people would realise that I was only helping out with the laundry as any modern guy, popular with chicks would.....I mean, what sane guy would carry unwashed items of women's clothing around on their head...I ask you?

[bealeblues]

nope, i'm going to exercise restraint, in the spirit of attempting to return lapietra's thread back to it's original intent....

but there was a LOT to work with there.....

[Deviate]

well Dinz,

the security camera in the ZeBoard laundry room tells all. and, although we've been making considerably funds by brocasting the footage on the online laundry fetish site, sooner or later the super is going shut the place down and we'll all be washing our skivies at the Suds and Duds down the street.

if you want to wear Childstar's unmentionables do it in the privacy of your own flat.

(and, if you want to hook up the webcam so we can continue our side business, we'll see about dropping you a cut of the profits).

edit: no restraint whatsoever

-st.

[dinzdale]

There'e a profit in anything these days....just ask Beale.

..and as for Ms Star's unmentionables, I have not presumed that she has any at all, until I have other evidence...it is you who seems to know so much.

Also I suggest a vid cam directed on the Ze-fridgerator, as someone has stolen my Jello sandwich, not naming names, but his name probalbly begins with BealeBlu.....

[bealeblues]

.... do we give ze a list of condiments to buy for the ze-refrigerator? see, i found this jello sandwich, but it's just missing something....

[dinzdale]

It's missing it's rightful owner, you Bastard !!

[bealeblues]

I go to Kyoto for some culture...

return,

and find all the education I need right here on the board.




I wonder how much it would be to go to Okinawa tomorrow...

[masterofNone]

well if no one else is going to say it....



yay! amanda's back!

[red]

I wasn't sure she was gone.

Welcome back Amanda.

[amanda]

sigh....nobody ever reads signs these days.

thanks, MoN and red. It's good to be back.

:whispering: it's so quiet today. Listen.... you can even hear the the mold growing in the zemonkey fridge.... it's so peaceful.

[red]

It IS quiet. I'm not sure where everyone is.
Amanda, I wasn't sure if you had been back for a while or what. I've been to here so infrequently what with vacation, holidays and job hunting. It takes a lot of time to read all the posts from that time.

[amanda]

oh, hun... I know. It takes me a while to read just a daily run of posts. No worries. really. I just had "gone" as my custom text while I was away. I just thought it was too funny.

It reminded me of my days in the art museum. Right next to my head was the sign pointing the direction of the bathroom, and I'll give you one guess what the most frequently asked question was.

so, red...How IS the job hunt going?

[lapietra]

Sorry to interrupt before red's had a chance to answer -
but I just wanted to say "Tanky!!!" for the smoogies & compliments. Can't get too many of those...
I'm at my mom's for the w/e having a second Christmas... excellent memorable time.
And... Yay! Welcome back to Amanda. I would love to read a 'chit chat' post about Kyoto....

[amanda]

as you wish, lapietra... I'm on it

[red]

To answer your question, my job search has been terrible. I think the worst time to be out of work has got to be around holidays. Everyone you need to talk to is on vacation.
My resume is done and online. I have to start networking with my local ad groups and find out who's needing production work. Maybe volunteer to do something for them. I can't just wait around for someone to realize what a jewel I am.

[amanda]

love the new sig, nyc

[red]

Yes, I've been checking them out along with my other job search web sites. You were right, it IS a good source. I just need the right job in my area.
Thans nyc!

Forgot to say "welcome back!" to rmr too... good to see you & your answers! (I love these question thingies... hope someone else asks some more...)

ham/salami, cheese, butter, milk, mayo, ruccola salad, tomatoes..

2. What's the most outrageous thing you've ever done in public?
well..... Do I have to? Ok, here goes. This goes back to when I was younger, 17/18 yo. It was summer and my friends and I have partied all night. We ended up on a beach where an unlucky friend of me fell asleep. Morning came, and the beach was starting to get filled up with people in all ages. We decided to do a prank on the poor sleeping bastard. First we stripped him naked. After he had been lying there naked for a 1/2 hour frying in the morning sun while people were swarming around, we got a good idea. Shaving.
Carefully (as careful you can be with a dull pocket knife) we shaved off all his pubic hair and scattered all the hair onto his naked and once hairless chest. We kept on laughing and drinking for a good while before the poor sod woke up and tried to scream. He couldn’t because he was too dehydrated. He didn’t speak to us for weeks after that. Some people are really crap taking jokes, aren’t they?

Skiing across greenland or to the North Pole.

Glycerin

A stylish woollen sweater with a full front zip. I knew that you wouldn’t understand.

11. If you could have any artist(s), living or dead, design your living space for the rest of your life, who would it be? and what would it look like?
Who is into functional and minimalist stuff anymore? I wouldn’t know.

12. Your bed: firm, medium, soft, or water? [/B][/QUOTE]
A hard man on a soft bed is a good combination.

[rmr]

Deviate - I'm so glad you like B & S. I have to admit that I did not discover them an old boyfriend of mine turned me on to them and well I just fell in love....with them not him.

the closest i could get to the guy i had a crush on was to be asked to dance by his best friend (in 9th grade). that was my first slow dance and i was SOOOO embarassed! didn't know what to do with myself (and the guy i liked wasn't even AT the dance!)
6. What would you ask for for your last meal?
a smörgåsbord.
7. Favorite place to make whoopie?
outside in the dirt and leaves and grass and twigs and rocks.
8. Best beloved toy when you were a kid?
i had a white stuffed dog with multicolored spots on it when i was 4. otherwise, i'm like Indigo: Jigsaw puzzles and TREES (all the way!!!!). not to mention mud and leaves and, well, all the stuff i like to "make whoopie" in!
9. Most memorable party you've ever attended or thrown?
i really don't like parties for some reason, but, i do remember one where my best friend karina and i LITERALLY
laughed for about 40 minutes straight when we were in high school. people came up to us asking what was so funny, and left disgusted because we were just unable to explain. it just made us laugh harder!
10. What's your favorite clothing item?
right now, a pair of green levi's i got for 5 bucks that fit perfectly. oh, and a black pair of pants with a leaf print all over them that someone made (wow, i'm realizing there is a LEAF theme spinning through my answers).
11. If you could have any artist(s), living or dead, design your living space for the rest of your life, who would it be? and what would it look like?
i like a lot of artists, but i would have to design it myself. if i could afford anyone, then i could also obviously afford any item, etc. SO.... i'd design (hi indigo again!) a bunch of funky lamps and candles, i'd paint the walls some kind of cool colors. one room would be a deep greenish blue, one room would be a deep reddish orange. you know, new mexico colors. i'd have some huge paintings on the walls, or downright murals. i'd have secret hiding rooms, stairs leading to doors with a brick wall behind it. stuff like that. it would be fun. kids would BEG their parents to let them come over. it would be outrageous but also cozy and warm. it would have a beautiful garden with plants EVERYWHERE!!!! and the wildlife would be screened OUT (as opposed to my living conditions now) so that they couldn't EAT all my beloved plants. but they could be viewed from the garden, and i'd grow them a wildflower field to roam in. oh, lapietra, it would be great..... sigh....
12. Your bed: firm, medium, soft, or water?
i'd have a firm bed (i like futons) with soft fluffy pillows! (kinda what i have now!)

WHEW!!!

I want you guys to know - Jen makes a mean red cabbage/feta cheese/oil & vinegar salad... ohhhhhhman it's good.

And baby - you're *definitely* gonna have that garden someday soon - if a certain someone we both know has anything to do with it... :)
By the way, does the aforementioned party know about #7? hee hee... I'm gonna tellllll....

[Indigo]

you won't believe how i just redid my bedroom a couple months ago. a beautiful dark red-orange wash on the walls (very relaxing) - candles, funky lamps everywhere - old funky chests - the ceiling is gold, like a donegal gold - well, its kinda hard to explain the rest, but i LOVE it. maybe will post a pic when i get a digital camera.

leaves rock!

[jenschka]

YEAH, INDIGO!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!

Your place sounds great! What else have you done to it? (where are you, anyway? East coast, west coast?) and leaves do rock! thanks! and by the way.... i just got a digital camera at samy's called a FUJI BIG JOB for $119 AFTER TAX!!!!! it's a great buy! it looks like a REAL camera too, not those tiny shiny silver thingies that you can't grasp. my kinda camera! anyway, if bucks are an issue (it was my b-day gift to myself!) you can't go wrong. 1.5 mega pixels i think.

and OOOOooohh! Lapietra! you tryin' to get me into trouble?!!! he was sittin' right here while i was typin' it, then i read it to him. but too bad he didn't offer to take me outside! heh heh. we've yet to do it thatta way..... oh well.... no one is PERFECT (although he's close!)

and when we gonna git together for some cabbage salad? i have to make it up to you..... that last dinner was kinda lame. but, i'm no gormay.

(don't worry, i know how to spell).:rolleyes:

and what's huzzah mean anyway?!
jen

OH YEAH! INDIGO, I just remembered something else. Haha... when i was in high school, (you know how letters get passed in class all the time), my friend Rochelle and I would always draw a little pile of poo (practically our logo!) like your avatar with the little steam lines on it and everything! What a crackup!

[lapietra]

Jenschka - you just say when you have time & I'll be there -
I LOVED what you made last time! (I mean - I made a total pig of myself :D) I'll contribute this time, tho' - cwoll meeeeeeee....... we'll make plans...

indigo - you've inspired me - I know I only rent but I bet my landlord wouldn't mind if I spruced the place up a bit... hmmmmmmm.... let's see....
