::blushes more, just for Myrr::

(You know, if anyone else did this, I’d have made puking noises, rolled my eyes, yelled that there were minors present, etc. But for you, dear, I’ll do anything!)

Happy 1000 posts, by the way! Let’s celebrate!

Nice to know that I’m exempted from the standards of gratuitous flirtatiousness 😃

Wow, I didn’t even notice I’d hit 1000, but seeing as the thread’s here already, celebrating sounds good to me 😉

:😊:

Why thank you! I’ve got a silly grin on my face now. 😃

I was up till 3am (9am EST)! Bad! I can’t keep doing this when the semester begins in a couple weeks. I’ll be in class, wasted. And that’s REALLY bad, 'cause I’ll be the TA!

Join the club…here’s your membership card 😃

3 AM isn’t so bad…depending on what time you have to get up. Of course, this is coming from me (I stayed up until 6 AM playing \* very \* low-stakes poker the night before a 6 hour drive home. The sun was up long before I went to sleep!

You’re doing that cute blushing thing again… 😉

Six hour drive, huh? If I were to drive for 6 hours here, I’d have circled the island twice! 😃 You’re in… Baltimore now?

Well, not in B-more yet–I’m going back this Sat, then flying off to Californ-i-a. I was referring to recent trip…

Twice around, eh? You could go around one direction, turn around, and go back the other way for variety’s sake 🙂

I know that always gets me–there used to be this white limo that occaisionally would go past my house, and then I’d see it going back the other way a little while later…on a one-way street! Creepy…
