Must mean I'm a well-adjusted nerd. :P
Poor Josh has such a hard time with the english language.
We went to the store and got him a pillow he's been wanting...Steve said it was a plush toy. Well, Joshua calls it his "Blush Pillow".
The other day, we went and got donuts, you know? Well, whenever Joshua asks for a donut he says "Got any blazed?" LOL
And he never says "Yesterday"...he always says "Not today, but the day before this day." Then we say "Yesterday?" and he says "Yeah." Every single time. No kidding...it's a hoot.
Are you likely to get any house-help?
This will be my last free weekend. I think I'm going to sit around and watch anime the whole time, moving only to go up to school and run the backups.
Should get some. But not necessarily a lot.
If I could find a coupla willing guys and a pick-up, this could go much faster, but...
Still, I'll get there! And Stephen is definitely an ally. He's the one that talked the others into coming over. He may wrangle some more work out of Margaret and the others yet!
Have I mentioned I'm really gonna miss him? *sniff*
The day before this day...heh...
Tell him he can come out and visit any time! Look, you could end up being a magnet... if your sibs can't find jobs near home, are they more likely to want to move somewhere with family, or on their own? And Colorado is a lot more friendly toward young starting people than the West Coast where your brothers are.
NOT TRUE!! You fit right in here! I got a Nerd Score of 62, so I'm just middlin when it comes to nerdiness, but I have lots of other good qualities, as do you. ;o)
Yeah...Jim has already expressed interest. He wants to get out of here in the worst way, but doesn't want to go anywhere near CA. And he's kinda nervous about heading out alone. If he had a place to stay, he'd likely give up his job and come with me when I went.
The others...well, Bill and Stephen want to go to a music center of some sort. Probably not Colorado. And Margaret...I dunno! She's pretty happy with where she is, I guess. Maybe the only one who really is.
But in any case, if I pull this off...it will likely motivate some of the others to move on as well.
theboy has seen the ROTK EE, and he had this question:
Frodo was wearing the mithril shirt that Bilbo gave him, that was hard as dragon scales and turned the pike that the troll was using... so how did Shelob's stinger get thru it?... the stinger wound you see on Frodo in Cirith Ungol is on his right breast...
theboy sends
See, you're not just doing it for you, you're doing it for your siblings!
Hmm, unfortunately I only have one couch so I'm not sure about the brother... he could certainly crash for a week or so but that would make things awfully tight. What's Jim's job, anyway? Something he can find out here?
It's a mystery to me!
you fit in here... or on theRidge... anytime...
I think Jim needs to make up his own mind and get his own place - without my help. Otherwise, he's likely to blame me if anything doesn't work. However, I did tell him he's welcome to caravan with me when I head out - I'm assuming he'd want his car.
I think he'll hedge on things for a good bit longer, though. You think I'm hesitant...I've got nothing on him. It's like we got all the caution that was left completely out of Ben and Bilbo's makeup.
hmmm... yikes...
I was thinking that shelob got him low on the abdomen, and the stinger came up under the shirt. The wound I thought was the unhealed wound from the Nazgul sword on weathertop.
Hmm... but now you got me thinkin'.
