Imogen
Well, someone better kick start a chat conversation thingy, so here goes
Oi, you! Yes you, the people on the website at the minute (specifically DL and bart cos I know they're around) - why are you not in the chatroom. And if you are, why isn't it showing you on my version. And in other conversational news, nice weather we're having here, how're you?
Yoda, conversation killer or conversation king?
Wasn't aware you were in the chatroom .
Weather down here is pretty good...almost too hot though. You?
Okay, since this is OT rambling, I just thought I'd share one of the funniest and most odd phone calls I've gotten in a loooong while.
I work for the University of Michigan, but my office is in Los Angeles, CA. So, often people will dial our number by mistake and freak out a bit, thinking they've called the state of Michigan instead of a local number. Today, I got one of those kind of calls and after I explained that this office does fundraising for UM, just on the west coast this guy then turned around and asked me out on a date.
1) Never met the guy, had to ask him his name
2) Made me laugh when he said he'd provide me with references as to what a good guy he is
2) Was very sweet . . .
Just had to share this with everyone. No good explanation as Friday the 13th was a week and a half ago, and the full moon was at the beginning of the month.
Just have to say that people will always surprise me!
OK but did you say yes? Inquiring minds want to know.
Robert
Well, I'm kind of playing it a bit safe. Got his e-mail address and I'll get to know him that way first before venturing out of my safety net to an actual date.
That's smart.
Yes... it is indeed smart. I'd rather be on the safe side...
Arrrrrggghhh! Someone catch my head before bart runs off with it! *directs random Force usage towards everyone in general* (at this point we really need a Force lightning emperor emoticon)
Found your head! It rolled around cyberspace for a while. It was finally caught in the following place:

Hope you get well soon. I lost my head once. It didn't grow back for a while. However, now I'm feeling great. If symtoms persist, go see your doctor.
Yoda, should bart's name now be Darth bart???
Now stop trying to shift the blame Drie... We all know it was your idea....

~DL, resident T-shirt finder
DL,
those are great choices! Jennie and I "chatted" this morning and right now her dad still refuses to allow her back on Elenarda although she's got a plan. (typical of our favorite Slytherin)
I sent her a copy of the chat thread and the link to your choice. Out of curiousity, where you refering tot he shirt or the guy?
Robert
I'm so glad that you're keeping in touch with her and can't wait for her to come back...Slytherin plans rock!!
And she can have both if she wants but I was referring to the shirt lol .
~DL
DL, you truly are the queen of all t-shirts! I'm going to have to run to Hot Topic this weekend to get one of those shirts . . .
You ARENT trying to suggest that if i had a choice i would actually go for that guy?
nuhuh....i take the t-shirt then i draw the line! (in chalk on the ground)
HIYA EVERYONE!!!!

Jenni!!! You're back!! FANTASTIC!
Has the ban been lifted once and for all?
Good to see you.
Imogen
Er....well....you see. The thing is the ban is still in place, but ive found a way to get around it
But im not sure my dad minds me coming on here anyways cos he was the one who said to me 'why dont you go on that Elenardy thing you always used to go on' Which left me open mouthed and shocked....
Also i wouldnt be back if it wasnt for a certain friend of mine!!
lol but yeh am back for good. Sorry guys u gotta put up with me now!

Jenni xXx

Yep am back! hehe n btw i missed you all too! (including hockeygod...i suppose lol )
But now im back its red heads all the way!
imogen - look at my last post for the answer to your Q!
I just realized that exactly six months from now I will turn 17.
Uh-oh...
What's that supposed to mean DL? Aren't you turning 15 this year? Scary thought!
I guess your right...
Watch out world 'cuz Della's almost on the road
At least it's not a http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=260947
Think I could put a perscription in them?
It seems even in my absence some things dont change! the domination of the chat thread are still done by hockeygod!!
Ok...who played pranks today?
Nuh-uh!!! I'm barely ever on!
yeh yeh whatever HG. hehe.
Is anyone brave enough to say theyve been to see Agent Cody Banks 2?
Has anyone seen Gothika? I went with a group of 13 mates and most of them found it scary. Im not easily scared, but i did find a bit jumpy lol.
Anyone?
Nope, notmy cup of tea (or soda in my case)
I've got to work, what're your plans this Easter Weekend?
Robert
Food and then some more food.
Do all the homework that I should've done last week. Yep, that's my plan.
I got a 32 on the ACT!
Congrats and glad to see you back around here!
All right! Good job, HG! Now start looking at those colleges.
Robert
Thanks guys for the compliments. I either want to attend U of M or MSU.
I suggest, for obvious reasons, UM!
Depends on which colleges do courses you want to do, and then where your heart lies.
I am a true U of M fan through and through and they have a wonderful program, but at the same time, MSU has perhaps the best physics program in the country.
....where we shall meet....
Maybe, just maybe we will. If we're lucky.
So you wanting to do Physics then?
JenXxX
P.S if in doubt of which one to chose, i say flip a coin!!
Random diversion:
IT'S OVER!!!!!!!
I just finished my project on 'The Longitude Problem' after a few months of hard work. Now to get the exams out of the way and I'm free...to get a job and enslave my mind
Yoda, taking a break
For the next two weeks I am an acting Senior. then I get to take exams and actually become a Senior. I can't believe that I have a little over a year left of high school.
Which means that for one year, you are at the top and then you got back to the bottom of the food chain!
Enjoy the feeling, HG! It will never come again!
Robert
Ah, senior year of high school. May I caution you against "senior-itis." That hit me before my senior year of school even began!
Alas! My 10 year high school reunion is this fall . . . tempis fugit.
Hey, don't feel to worried Drie. My 20th is this fall and I'm planning to forget it.
Robert
It just makes me feel so, well, like my parents! Wish I could forget about it, but I think I'm on the reunion committee with some girlfriends of mine.
Robert, you should go to your reunion!
Why? There are only a couple of people I'd like to see again.
Also, I've got the MARBLEHEAD reunion in San Antonio is September and I'm trying to swing a trip to LA the weekend of my birthday (Oct 3rd) for some thesis research as I want to spend my birthday at Disneyland.
As for you feeling like your parents, at 28 you are still a young and beautiful woman, so dont let it to until your 25th!
Robert

Aw, ickle hockeygod, I like to think so!

I spent the weekend delivering pizzas to drunk bikers & biker chicks. The good thing is that since the NAACP started its boycott of SC, the crowds coming to Black Biker Week now are really pretty nice and they tip! (in 2000, you were literally taking your life in your own hands walking through those crowds!)
The only redeeming feature is the "scenery" on display when stuck in traffic.
Robert
I wonder if that kind of "scenery" can be found where I live.
I didn't do anything for Memorial Day except a parade went out in front of my house.
Probably, HG, just don't let your girlfriend or Mom catch you looking at it!
Robert
Robert! Guess who started reading yesterday and was extremely confused by the chapter gaps. *raises hand*
The story (as I'll say again...and again...and again) is AMAZING!!!! If I had half of that ability I wouldn't be afraid for my english final...
I'll get back to you in more detail when I'm done.
I hope Robert replies to my e-mail...and forgives my lack of here-ness and just plain nice-ness. I feel bad.
Ill await the email....
And omg!!!! France 2...England 1? noooooooooooo
But just think English people here....we beat the best team in the world for 90 minutes....cant we beat the swiss for 93?
jen XxX i like to think that and its totally random...
WHEN DID ENGLAND LOSE?!?
And who is on top of the Premiership Standings?
Arsenal finished top of the premiership, if you go to the bbc sports pages they'll probably cover all the details.
England lost to France 2-1 in their opening group qualifier last week, Sunday 13th if I recall. However, since then, we hammered the Swiss 3-0 and France drew with Croatia leaving the standings as such:
France 4pts
England 3pts
Croatia 2pts
Switzerland 1pt
With tonight being the final lot of matches, England vs. Croatia and France vs. Switzerland. To qualify for the next round England need a draw minimum although if we win & France draw/lose this puts us top. I don't think France will draw/lose though, so England will probably finish second
Thanks Yoda. Arsenal is my favorite team, but being in the U.S. we don't get many international games.
Does Croatia have a strong side, or should at least a draw be a walk in the park? And where are they playing the match?
well, it was actually a close game but we won 4-2 in the end, the Croats didn't give up though until the last five minutes (and almost made it 4-3 then!) the game took place in the stadium of light in Portugal (not Sunderland) and our next game is against the Portugese so will probably be in the same place!
Yoda, hail the mighty footballers!
Thanks Yoda. You'll keep me posted right?
Well this isn't exactly keeping you posted (sorry) but here's a semi-informative update.
Over four consecutive nights of competition last week: Italy (groups), Germany (groups), England (semis) and France (semis) all exited the tournament!
We lost on penalties to Portugal after a bout of dubious playing by both sides and dubious refereeing on part of the Swiss ref. That said, on the night, the Portugese were better - and we lost Rooney early on when he twisted his ankle, so that didn't help England. All credit to Frank Lampard though, he equalised in extra time so that we at least made it to the penalties. Final score, England 2 (5) - 2 (6) Portugal (penalties in brackets)
Yoda, now rooting for the Czechs who are completely demoralising every opponent they face
Realising that Yoda's info, though correct, has yet to be concluded. He isn't around much, so I'll finish off the Euro '04 details.
The semis went well if you're Portugese or Greek, as they won against the Netherlands and Czech Republic respectively.
Portugal 2-1 Netherlands
Greece 1-0 Czech Republic (silver goal)
Thus, the final was exactly the same as the opening match, where Portugal played Greece. It was tense, but Greece, as before, emerged victorious. Not only did Greece win against Portugal in the very first match in Euro 2004, they also won the final match, too.
Alanis Morissette and Barenaked ladies was an awesome concert!!!!!!!!!!! I had so much fun!!! The best part was that I bought the tickets myself!
I had a very bizarre and hilarious happening today, so I thought I'd share it.
I went to buy a can of carpet cleaner today. I browsed through the shelves and found something. (I won't mention the brand.) I look at the front and it says "Carpet cleaner". I look a bit more on the side, and it says "great for carpets, too!". I turn it over and on the bottom it says "for use on carpets: test first on an inconspicuous area". Thinking I need a higher prescription on my glasses, I go to the clerk to pay for the product. She takes one look at the thing and says, "This isn't for carpets! This is a roach killer!"
I nearly fall from laughter and manage to ask, "Then what the heck does it say 'Carpet Cleaner for?"
"It's a typo", she answered.
Ahh, I had a very productive day today...
I can understand it being a mistake spellingwise, but carpet cleaner out of roach killer?
I have no idea, Ignotus. Either the brand was crazy or the store was crazy or the clerk was crazy . (Of course, there's always the probability.. uh, possibility that I'm crazy... )

Is Arsenal still in the lead in the standings?
Yes and Tottenham have started playing silly twits again!
Chelsea are closing on you guys though, and one win would take us up to 4th (soon, please Spurs)
Man United beat Arsenal, i was sooo happy. I didn't want Arsenal to get to 50 games unbeaten and they didnt ! woohoo
Whats up with Tottenham?
We're 10th / - we were first for two weeks! ARRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!! /
Chelsea won't catch the Gunners. They are too strong on offense. And Man U is really kin=cking themselves for letting Beckham go.
I just realized I've been neglecting my HP Hot Topic item duties!
There are lotsa http://www.hottopic.com/store/nodePage.asp?LS=0&BRAND_ID=51things...my favorite is http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=127520

The Gunners will finish the season strong. They have Henry, the best striker in the league in my opinion. They will win the Premiership this year.
Here's the current table (points: wins/draws/losses). Teams with a * have only played 15 games as of today - all others are sixteen.
1. Chelsea 39: 12/3/1
2. Arsenal 34: 10/4/2
3. Everton 33: 10/3/3
4. Man Utd 30: 8/6/2
5. Boro' 28: 8/4/4
6. Villa 25: 6/7/3
7. Liverpool 24: 7/3/5*
8. Bolton 23: 6/5/5
9. Portsmouth 21: 6/3/6*
10. Charlton 21: 6/3/7
11. Man City 20: 5/5/6
12. Newcastle 20: 5/5/6
13. Spurs 19: 5/4/7
14. Fulham 17: 5/2/9
15. Birminh'm 14: 2/8/6
16. Crystal P 13: 3/4/9
17. Blackburn 13: 2/7/7
18. Soton 12: 2/6/8
19. Norwich 12: 1/9/6
20. WBA 10: 1/7/8
Most Wins: Chelsea (12)
Least Wins: Norwich/WBA (1)
Most Draws: Norwich (9)
Least Draws: Fulham (2)
Most Losses: Crystal Palace/Fulham (9)
Least Losses: Chelsea (1)
yoda, your friendly-breathmint-premiership-update-jedi-master-type
I liked it much better when Norwich were the top of Division 1 - except its not called that anymore, I'm so comfused!
HG, you appear to think arsenal will win? Henry, took that free kick when the ref hadnt stepped away. In my opinion thats cheating.
Chelsea to win...but u see...? Everton are coming up behind arsenal aswell, and dont they have a game in hand? Im not sure but....
How was everyone's Christmas and New Year? I have missed you all ever so much. I hope all is well around here. TTYL
X-mas was good as has been New Years. Me and the kitties have had a good day of lying around watching Band of Brothers and playing on the computer.
I had a very good Christmas - got me Mumakil Also got to see me wonderful grandparents and the rest of my crazy relations. Ended up with a gamecube at the end of it all - and the two Star Wars: Rogue Squadron games. Am currently stuck on a planet called Kothlis in the first one - most annoying. My family liked their gifts, Mum was especially happy to receive 'The Box of Delights' from me, which she hasn't seen since I was 6 months old. Awwwwwww.
New Year was also fun, got back today from our party in Shropshire, saw all my old friends and there was an abundance of small children that I'd never seen before. It was also scary to see the ones I've known since they were babies at ages of 16 - especially when I still normally picture them as small kiddies in me head. Anyhow, it was all good, I ended up playing ping-pong/table tennis until 4am on New Year's Eve, with a bit of Scottish/Country dancing in between
Yoda, noting the rapid dustcloud of fellow Elenardians running from the word 'dancing' in association with me.

Has that happened to you Drie? The little ones that you baby-sat are getting married?
Some of the older ones, yes. Or they're headed that direction.
Sheesh. I'm getting old.

Jerry's bang on with that assessment, I myself will be celebrating turning the approximate age of this emoticon soon:
And in other news
THE BALL WAS 3 FEET BEYOND THE LINE!!!!!!!!!
It was Spurs vs. Man Utd tonight - and we (should have) won 1-0. But nooooooo, 3 feet beyond the line does not constitute a goal for the visitors at Old Trafford. Gnash.
The good news is that we did hold them to a draw, and Arsenal were also held to a draw - while Chelsea won 2-0 at Middlesborough. This puts Chelsea 7 points ahead overall - a 2 point increase on their prior lead. And more good news - Spurs are back up to 7th! That's something at least! Man Utd. are within thrashing distance - wiv a stik!

I saw the Man U v Spurs. It was shocking, but i cant say i wanted spurs to win, i cant turn my back on alan smith, who came from leeds. Rooney whos just awsome. Anyone see Man U v Arsenal, a great 4-2 win for Man U.
I dont support premiership teams but my faves are man u and blackburn. Anyway....
Hows everyones weekend going?
Yay! It is finally FRIDAY!!! Woo hoo! Anyone got any good plans?
Well... I guess everyone had so many plans that they must have been out doing them. How about for this weekend? I'm having a BBQ, and hopefully going horse riding, but that might have to wait till next weekend.
That sounds like fun! Me, I'm getting up at dark:thirty (read that as 5:30) to meet a friend and go to a major electronics sale to get a jump on Christmas shopping. I'm already sleepy!
I have to work on a paper, do math homework, study for my exam on Friday, and work. I have a busy weekend.
