I know! I've not wanted two people to.make out more since Castle and Beckett (spoiler alert)

Captain Mal*

Also, I'm glad you guys can't see a lot of the things us shredders say to each other or we'd have lots of making out to do.

I'm about to make more iced tea because it's really hot in this house.

#103

What the heck are shredders?

People who post(ed) in the Shred Room on PA. Despite mostly keeping contact on fb now we still refer to ourselves as such.

I still think we should move to IRC k

But now that they have, it kinda ruined it right? I am still watching, but the show this season just wasnt as interesting for me. Also, you totally deserve that tea and it should be in a happy home.

Looks like a teasplosion happened in our thread. I thought Vomps and Lizzy knew each irl because she seems to travel a lot and be in europe too. Clearly it would be hard to meet AP since he lives in the middle of the woods far from everyone. Or so he tells us...

She's traveled but I don't think ever to Finland. The one who lives closest to vomps is Zebedee, but vomps would probably never meet him because he's not a gril. Also, this is an old pic of my backyard:

Today I got some coffee to help make my dwindling tea supply last longer.

Thoughts

1. Teapigs brand of decaf Lemongrass Green Tea is the bees knees.

2. V&L should meet! Some of my favorite people in the entire planet were ones I met online before meeting in person.

3. I will get all up in your romantic business if you let me, so don't let me. I'm such a meddler. BUT! Two of my friends are getting married Saturday after my meddling! MARRIED!

4. I find Lemon balm mixed with lavender to be an extremely potent all-natural tea for fighting anxiety!

5. I am not wearing any socks right now.

6. You are special to me.

7. Matt's backyard is awesome.

#109

More thoughts:

1) right this second, I'm getting to pet the stand off kittah, Penny. WOOOHOOOO!
2) I shockingly agree with goosey re: V&L (Orange btw - is the color for sarcasm) But in all seriousness. Some of my dearest and turest friends ever are people I met online before I met them IRL, including my current sweetie whom I met on LP 3 years ago. After a year of getting to know each other and doing the "go back and forth accross the country to see each other" thing, we decided we couldn't stand saying good-bye to each other all the time so he came out to Ohio and dove with me and my car back to his home state of AZ where we have lived pretty happily for 2 years now. I will marry this man. He is my one ture love.
3) I can't tell if penny's whipping my arm with her tail because she wants me to quit petting her or if it's because I keep stopping the petting of her to type.
4) I have nothing to say about tea today.

5) I'm not wearing socks either! I am however wearing sandles. I pretty much wear them all the time except when I have to wear other shoes or when I go to bed.
6) You are special to me too.

7) Matt's backyard is awesome. It makes me nostalgic for home.

More thoughts: I miss that 8tracks site everyone was chilaxin' in just before I moved out here. That was a pretty cool site and I loved how everyone could take turns playing the dj. I learned all kinds of cool music from listening and hanging out there.

^You mean turntable.fm? Enrique introduced me to that pretty recently, it's fun

We use Grooveshark for that now. It has a broadcast feature and everyone can suggest songs (as long as they're on grooveshark) and all the broadcaster has to do is ok them all.

That fenced in bit in my backyard is a part of our yard we let our neighbor use sometimes to put his horses (and two(!) ponies) in, because hay is can be expensive in finland.

You and Lizzy should move in with me, we could have horses in the backyard k

That would be cool, riding a horse is more hip than riding a bike.

<3 Finns

Not so much horses though. When I was little, I was about to pet a horse when my grandma came up shouting "Horses will bite your face off!" so now I'm scared of horses.

#118

I don't like horses. I think they have outlived their usefulness.

#119

So have people k

#120

I LOVE HORSIESSSSSSS k

And that would indeed be cool because: 1. Matt is my ideal flat/housemate; 2. the idea of having the wombat deal with two clean freaks is very entertaining.

#121

I kinda live like a boy so probably not an ideal housemate. I like things clean but not necessarily tidy. I have lots of "Artist's Clutter." But I can't abide a dirty bathroom.

I am drinking leftover iced tea. I left a lime wedge in it overnight so it tastes super citrusy.

I love them clean, but I suppose I'm not the tidiest individual out there either. My desk at the moment is a complete and utter mess.

I just finished drinking some ice tea, too, but it's the crappy bottled Lipton kind. It's my only caffeine source at this hour.

I love Thai iced tea so much <3 (Went out for Thai food last night, mmmm green curry)

#124

Oh, I don't think I like it clean, if you know what I mean.

#125

I think if Matt, Lizzy and Nervous Horse were all roomies -- that could be the best sitcom ever.

And then a Very Special Episode where all their American friends come to visit!

#126

It's odd how we kep meeting up on sites populated by Finns isn't it?

YES! And black and red motif again too.

So JEALOUS

I wish I could make a less fattening iced Thai tea, but it tastes so good with creeeeam.

#129

Llama and Mongoose and anyone else who has read the epic llama story, do you think it would be a horrible idea if I attempted to publish it in four (4) parts (because it's very long)? (This would mean that there would have to be at least four (4) more issues of Nervous Horse.)

I don't think it would be horrible to bifurcate or trifurcate the story as necessary. That said, I think you definitely need to keep putting out issues of Nervous Horse! Is it semi-yearly or quarterly, or what?

It has no schedule, but it seems to take months to gather enough stuff for one issue.

I say do it! More issues is always a good thing.

k, it shall be done!

#134

the problem is that i'm worried there won't be that many issues.

#135

I think Llama and I will be both giving you lots of goodness. I bet if you keep soliciting people on here, a lot of other players will send you stuff too. Have you asked Epi?

#136

I haven't k

Do you think I might have to ask people directly instead of posting in the tea thread?

#137

Maybe start a Nervous Horse thread? Then its direct to not directed at anyone in particular.

I think a lot of players don't tend to play around in the OT forums as much as others. Epi is often in the gameroom, but I'm not sure I see him in some of these threads as often.

I know you are shy, but the worst they could say is "Oh man, that's so cool, but I am slammed right now, dude." Since everyone talks like me obv.

Ture

I know Epi from PA though, so I'm assuming he probably knows about Nervous Horse already.

Ture, I think I might do that k

#140

I am somewhat certain he posted in your Nervous Horse thread but I can't remember.

#141

Oh I always forget all y'all each other from elsewhere.

#142

He didn't k

Also, that thread died quickly k

ho, maybe i just imagined he'd be interested since he writes

#144

Yep, that was what I was reckoning too, Vompers.

#145

that's what i figured k

i made a thread k

#146

Maybe ask epi in a pm k? I know he writes, but if I'm remembering correctly, he was working more on novel stuffs last time we talked about it. He may have or be willing to do something short if asked. It never hurts to ask. The worst thing you hear is "I'm sorry, I don't have the time right now."

Also - I remember rey being in on that convo - I can't remember if he's a writer as well or if he's more like me and a reader.

Also also - I have not written anything in a very long time, but if I do get something that I think is good enough for you to look at - you'll be the first place I send it.

also also also - if you ever get to the point where you need help managing submissions or if there's something bts I can do to help, let me know. Like I said, these days, I'm more of a reader than a writer, but I love your site and would like to help it in any way I could.

#147

omg k :O

#148

And I can always help edit. I used to do free lance editing and I have my college degree in journalism. Feel free to put us to work, dude!

Your Editrix awaits!

#149

Yup - I've been a first reader for more than one person. I'm good at that sort of thing. - also I like new stuff. There's never enough things to read. My bff guy version and I lived with one novel that got abandoned for like 10 years or something. I can't tell you how many rewrites I read of the exact same 3 chapters.

#150

I greatly appreciate all the help offered, but I'm not sure how I feel about editing. I do mess with the quotation marks, but anything beyond that makes me uncomfortable.
