:eek:

:swoon:

Well, not so much about the eyes or the hair, and my jaw isn’t particularly visible underneath the facial hair, but otherwise…sure!!

I repeat: :eek:

You just made my week, darlin’.

Pretty much dead on, except it’s more of a gangster-style suit, and I’ve been unsuccessful in locating a leopard-skin hatband (I am in Montana, after all).

**trose:** Plants? BWAAAAAAHAHA!!!

Sorry. I have a black thumb. I killed a cactus once. Haven’t owned a plant since. And as for the long flowing gowns…wrong on that one, too. I’m also short, and a major klutz. Gowns and I don’t get on well. 😃

**Arden:** The Chosen What?!?!? :eek:

I believe that **TubaDiva** looks kinda like…well, a member of a marching band. But _this is a good thing, I swear!_ Because she’s got great rhythm, and people feel compelled to break out into song and dance wherever she goes.

I believe that **Lynn Bodoni** is tall. Really tall, and svelte. Like a Goddess. I believe she has a bolt of lightning in one hand, and a box of chocolates in the other. And she will smite you if you mess with either one.

I believe **Upham** is a fourteen year old girl I know with the same last name.

I believe **Nocturne** (aside from beind totally damn cool) is someday going to make her way north, so as I can express my deep love for her.

I believe that **Fenris** and I would make great drinking buddies, and end up talking about food for hours on end.

I believe that **Monster104** is really Matt Damon’s stunt double. Wait. I’ve met **Monster104**. Feh. That doesn’t count.

I believe that **Chef Troy** has this hot-sex-vibe thing going on that makes the ladies swoon when they’re in the same room as him.

I believe that **Rasa** can stand on her head.

I believe that **Hamadryad** could finish the entire _New York Times Sunday Crossword_ without cheating.

I believe that **LindyHopper** can execute perfect Babydoll Drops, Jersey Jumps, Waterfalls, and Hell Dips without injuring his partner… and looks dapper and dashing through it all.

I believe that **Biggirl** is someone I’d like to meet, too.

I believe that **SeaDiver** isn’t the kind of gal you’d want to piss off.

1. Low self-esteem, thy name is iampunha. After many years of hearing less-than-charitable remarks about nearly every facet of my existence, I believed those who said them. It’s getting better. I even have occasional moments of “I look not altogether too bad”.

2. Ad\_Noctum is Dave Barry?😃

Ah yes, but how FAR north?😃

I believe that . . . damnit, I can’t think of anything.

I believe Kricket is mistaken. K-baby, you burn in my heart as much as ever… but I’ve been so _ **busy,** _ you simply can’t imagine. Plus you’re the only one of my friends that is on MSN Messenger these days and I keep forgetting to turn it on.

Okay, my turn. I believe that **Eve, SaxFace,** and **Ukelele Ike** are just waiting for tragedy to strike my entire family so they can take advantage of my weakened, grief-stricken state to get me to move to New York, whereupon they will draw me into participating in their twisted Dark Mass of Editorial Hell.

Guys, can’t I please telecommute?

You got that right, baby. Awwww-yeah. **Grace** and **Zyada** can confirm it; **Palmyra** is still in denial about needing a big galoot that’ll make HER look good instead of always chasing young prettyboys.

And I do it the same way you enslave men: by being a damn good cook.

**Warning** … **Warning** … **Warning**  
Unabashed and somewhat icky inappropriate hijack-style flirting ahead. You have been warned.

So, iampunha, it seems to me that it might help to be worshipped like a god for at least an equal amount of time.

Let me know if you need any volunteers.

That’s right. It’s all I can do to stay vertical when he’s around. Must be those really intense looks he gives you sometimes…you know?
