I raised him before we even established the rules of the game. I believe you can see why I avoid gambling.
Either that, or you’re so good at it you should be splitting your time between Las Vegas and Monaco…
Kid, I’m depending on you to help me cover that bet!
Yeah lurker…you better help drop out, since lord knows I won’t help him win the bet… 
Gah! I am stuck offline for a couple days and see what happens!? I miss out on everything.
dropzone aww c’mon I’ll be 18 in about 4 days (less since it’s the night of the 14th) I so want to meet a nice guy. Maybe I’m too shy or not sending out the right signals or something but I never seem to meet any guy who might be interested in me… and all the guys I get interested in seem to have g/f’s too.
Irishman how old are you and how tall are you? smiles I don’t think I saw that when I scanned the messages (I might have missed it though… I’m running short on time and couldn’t read everything completely)
GAH! Um gotta go sighs I have a bedtime… (living with Grandparents sucks sometimes) though I don’t often fall asleep right away. I finally got my hands on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and I want to read a chapter or two.
Umm, Topaz? Here is some unsolicited advice from a wise older woman: If you’re trying to get a date, avoid saying “Gah!” so much. The last thing you want to do is to imply that you have an easily provoked gag-reflex. I’ll tell you why that is important in 4 days. 
YEA!

Must have scanned pretty quickly.
OOh, that sounds familiar. 'cept with gender roles reversed. Or something like that. You know what I mean. Or at least I do. I think.
“Bedtime”… “living with Grandparents”… “Harry Potter”… Maybe I am robbing the cradle.
Actually, I have a bedtime too - self-imposed. Work tomorrow.
Don’t worry Dropzone, nothing’s going to happen in 4 days. This is me we’re talking about. I’m surprised I got noticed in 4 days.
You're right. You ** SHOULD ** avoid gambling. You stink at it. You have a much better shot with Falcon.
And for Handy to not post for 12 hours he must have a ticket on a NY-Sydney non-stop and a busted laptop. Is it true he had his 100 and 1000 post parties the same day? :D:
Do you think I’d do much better?
" Is it true he had his 100 and 1000 post parties the same day?"
Nope, never had a post party ever!!!..
dropzone, Im not negotiating the hours, I have a message posting schedule to keep here until July 2001…one date, both parties must write about the date seperately so we know they actually went on it.
Works for me.
Hi, I know I have a BF but I am a hockey and NFL widow and the season is underway.
Okay (ahem!) I am a 24 year old living in Winnipeg currently dealing with another winter underway (I hate being cold). I am 5’9” and somewhere around 130lbs give or take. I am a heightist. I like my men, virtually or not to be taller than me. I have long blond hair and green eyes. If you want to see what I look like, I am on the People Pages. I love to read and write. I pursued acting and modeling for a time, but now just do a little modeling on the side.
I love animals. My dream home is to own a hobby farm just outside of the city and have horses. I once spent two hours in the freezing cold waiting for a scraggly abandoned puppy to come to me. I have a pretty close family, with two older sisters.
I am a Christian, but am somewhat non-traditional in my belief system. Hmmm, what else? Everything I have ever read about both my conventional zodiac (Aries) and my Chinese zodiac (Dragon) fit me to a tee. There, that’s about it.
Poysyn, huh? looking at her picture
Hey! I’ll fix you up with ME!
Wife? What wife?
Oh, THAT wife!
never mind
Ahhh dropzone, my virtual affair!
A fellow could do a lot worse.
[noble BS]
But you deserve better than a cad like me.
[/noble BS]
I thought I ran Anamorphic off! Excellent! Of course I dunno what he’s talking about with the whole flirting bit. I’ve never been known to flirt. There aren’t even rumours.
But if it works…LA isn’t very far away at all. One date, eh? Looks like I’m free this weekend.
I don’t usually say that that much. I guess I just picked it up and it’s my word of the week. rereads the last line Hmm I think I can figure it out from what your implying (my mind isn’t as innocent as my parents think)
Actually I’m generally more mature then I was in that post. Sometimes I get goofy though and end up being childish. Remember “You can only be young once but you can be immature forever.” Bedtime is something I need to have… even if I lived on my own I would need one because otherwise I would stay up all night online and sleep all day. Also I’m living with the Grandparents cuz my Dad doesn’t have room and I don’t have the money for my own place. grins Harry Potter is just cuz I like to read kids books. I usually pick them up as something interesting to read. But considering the age difference… yah I think your a little too old for me. It’s a shame cuz you seem to be a nice guy.
Personally, I prefer the more defiant “I may grow old, but I’ll never grow up!” At times most guys can be like a big 12 year old. OK, a REAL big 12 year old. (insert joke about difference between men and government bonds)…but if you let the child within die, it’s a sad day. Just being able to control it is enough.
Hmmm… do I detect a psychological ploy, making them feel sorry for him so he gets a pity date, or is it just fishing for compliments? Must observe behavior for possible personal usage at a later date…
OK, here goes:
I’m another SWF from the Bay Area. Live in Alameda, work in San Mateo, go to school part time in Oakland, like to hike up in the Berkeley hills when time is limited, or head up to Point Reyes when it’s not. I’m 29, I work as a quality engineer at a startup, but generally make a point of avoiding computers when I’m not at work or school. All my friends are married, and so are all their other friends, so they can’t introduce me to anybody. I’ve done the match.com thing (and talked a bit about it here) but don’t have time to sort through that volume of emails a day at the moment, although I wouldn’t mind a small volume of emails from here.
Some other random stuff about me…
(Entertainment Section)The tape sitting in my car stereo is an old Bad Religion compilation, the CD that has been stuck to my stereo at home for a while is the new Joan Osbourne. I love old Jethro Tull, I just threw out my old 80’s hair metal tapes last weekend. I watch Buffy religiously, Law and Order when I can, and will go out of my way to see Raimi films if they are playing in 2nd run theaters locally. (Groovy)
(Hobby/Life Section) As I referenced above, I like to get outside and walk around whenever possible, however I am not into camping for weeks on end. I am not in great shape. I am not even in good shape, but I’m working on it and would like to be with someone who is supportive of that pursuit. (My last BF was an olympic caliber couch spud.) I am never sure if the period goes before or after the parentheses and quotation marks, even though I have a degree in English. (I realize that this doesn’t really belong here, but I just noticed and it bugged me. I also seem to have become a big fan of parentheses in general today.) I get together with a group of friends every couple of weeks for stitch-n-bitch, which is pretty much what it sounds like. I tend to sew or knit when I’m channel surfing. I’m not religious. My father is of Jewish descent, I was raised loosely protestant. I think some of the basic ideas behind Buddhism are pretty cool. I am tolerent of religious people as long as they are not trying to convert me or debating with circular logic.
Right now I’m wishing I knew where pricciar’s watch is, and wondering where in California he is. I too like green beans (and Grean Bean) and bacon, but not together the way my grandmother used to boil the life out of them when I was a kid.
I think I have a photo to email, and will do so happily. As soon as I stop posting here I am going to go join the Tribes server that one of my co-workers set up. (Gotta love the T-1) In fact, I think I’m going to do that now. 
Period after parentheses and before quotes. As I recall, you did fine.
Have I mentioned to you folks what a FINE selection of eligible singles you are? I could make some REAL money setting you up with Normals!
