It has been twelve hours since I have had a reply to any of my posts...

[fleabert]

I wonder if my luck will continue?

has there been a ban on replying to Fleabert? I didn't get the memo.

:-(

perhaps a good picture will help my pathetic posts be more entertaining.



that's how the lounge feels about me today...and I agree...

meh.

[Lavender Brown]

1. Me neither

:cry: We're being phased out!

[qnr]

9. Don't see much usage of "neither" these days... That's worth a reply! n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. where upstate did you move?

[Lavender Brown]

20. I'm planning to move already

The capital district. :eyes:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. why?>

[Lavender Brown]

30. For job reasons... and out of sheer boredom.

[fleabert]

12. It's a nice boat that we are on together, at least!

how did you pronounce 'neither' when you read it? since it was brought up, not many people use it nowadays, it's one of my fave words. I pronounce it differently, depending on the sentence.

[Lavender Brown]

25. I say it all the time

:shrug: But then, I'm weird.

[gmoney]

29. You say "neether" I say "nyether"

... but I'm in no mood to call the whole thing off...

[xmas74]

2. I'll reply.

I've been posting on Trek nerdom so I've had people post back. Otherwise, no one would love me either.

[fleabert]

13. I am a baby trekkie...

from way back.

ak bak tee bak...

that's all i remember from the klingon my BIG TREKKIE friend tried to teach me. sorry if it's spelled wrong! ;-)

[gmoney]

45. I thought your ears were a little pointy...

Live long and prosper, my dear.

[fleabert]

47. it was really bad at one point in time, but I have recovered nicely.

not so much that TNG isn't on my TV at this very moment.

or was, ten minutes ago...

[gmoney]

58. Did you see the documentary "Trekkies"?

I've seen it on the shelf, and heard a little about it, but never seen it.

And here I thought you were so cool! :rofl:

[fleabert]

61. oh, yeah, of course!

and a lot of was filmed here in Sacramento, but way before I ever moved here!

my dad is way into sci-fi, so I was raised on this stuff. I am a big Douglas Adams fan too.

[xmas74]

81. s'alright.

I was raised as a Trekkie. It's in my blood-but I never learned Klingon.

[BikeWriter]

3. Say what? That's way too long a time!

[fleabert]

14. I KNOW!

you always reply to me, and that is only one of the multitude of reasons I just adore you!

:hug:

[gmoney]

24. New quest...

reply to EVERY Fleabert post, potentially multiple times

[fleabert]

34. Now if I put 'gmoney' in the title of all my threads, I KNOW you'd be

there even faster! How you find me, I don't know, but I kinda like the attention... :-)

[gmoney]

49. You're #1 in the Lounge with a bullet, babe!

Glad you're enjoying the attention... how's the hunt for that cable going? ;)

[fleabert]

51. not well. I have no freaking clue where it is...nt

[gmoney]

62. AAAAGH!!

What kind of memory card does your camera take? I'd be happy to send you a card reader doodad... just say the word!

[BikeWriter]

38. ROFL! Thank you, Dear. :-)

:hug:

[Tafiti]

4. Quit yer bitchin'.

Everyone loves you and you know it.

It's nothing personal, you just haven't said anything remotely interesting for the past 12 hours. :P

[fleabert]

I agree on half of your statements!

Everyone really does not love me! I know I am on at least one person's ignore list! They told me before they put me on it.

and there is another who occasionally pops up and tells me I am a freeper...amazing how long I've lasted, huh? I've got this fake Dem thing down pat! :rofl:

[gmoney]

22. ONE MINUTE

Is this a quick enough reply, you crazy freeper? ;) KIDDING

[Tafiti]

33. Do you spend most of your time...

...in GD? That's the only place I can think of where people are generally disgruntled, paranoid, and snappy.

In any case, fuck 'em! You know the lounge is where it's at! :headbang:

[fleabert]

35. I lurk mostly in GD, gotten my ass chewed one too many times for

too much posting to happen lately. Only if a subject really hits me...

I fucking adore the lounge! :toast:

[gmoney]

52. Boy is that tempting...

"And the loung adores _____ing you, too!"

And don't start me thinking about you getting your ass chewed... no sex threads.

[fleabert]

55. you are riding the fence so hard

it's broken! don't lecture ME about sex threads! :-)

[gmoney]

63. Sorry...

This rapid fire responding isn't generating my "A" material...

[bridgit]

5. here, fleabert honey, i'll reply...

:hi: ain't it getting nice here in the valley that the weather is cooling off a bit these days, we're glad fall is here & i know how much you like skiing which will be just up the hill before too long :thumbsup:

[fleabert]

21. the weather is lovely! and the first rain since April does only mean one

thing!

SKIING! I keep waiting for my ski reports to start coming in about the base building up, I am hoping for skiing before Thanksgiving!

I'll be up there this weekend, pining away. :-(

[gmoney]

32. Oooh... Fleabert on the slopes...

Quite a spectacle to be sure... why am I picturing the intro to the old "Wide World of Sports"?

[fleabert]

41. oh no, quite the contrary, I am careful and precise on the mountains!

I respect the mountain the damage it could do to me if I don't! I never ski beyond my skill level or equipment.

Not that I don't do blacks, I do, but no moguls!

[bridgit]

37. omg yes, we just popped into The Distillery for burgers & beers...

when the sky opened up, tim hasn't seen rain in so long it seemed i had to introduce him to the concept all over again but i concur = central valley rain season to follow

[fleabert]

42. that was quite a storm to start the season, right?

felt like I was in Texas for a bit!

[bridgit]

56. yeah, someone @ Pucci's mentioned a house in Woodland...

was struck by lighting & burnt. it's so flat around here, that has to remind you of some parts of Texas, if not most.

[fleabert]

59. the landscape here sort of reminds me of Austin, but the trees are

MUCH taller. The thunderstorm was just like the ones we get all the time in San Antonio. Blue skies one minute, thunderheads and lightning and thunderCLAPS the next, and then a downpour! It was great.

once you drive, oh, thirty minutes, the landscape is like nothing I know in TX, the hills to the west and the mountains to the east and north...totally different

[bridgit]

80. i used to showcase music groups in Austin back when i was...

in the bizz, always liked Austin = great little town.

but you're right about one if i catch your drift = they ain't no state like California. within a 2hr radius from where you & i are now & one can see it all no doubt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. no one seems to be responDing to me either

du'ers all have me on ignore

[qnr]

8. No way! We're just doing it manually :) n/t

[fleabert]

26. I can't read this post, because I have this person on ignore...

:P Just kidding!

have I ever told you that I think you are The Shit? Really, you seem like a really cool person, and I wanted to stow away in your luggage when you went to India... so jealous!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

68. why thanks fleabert...i am not really cool though

moderately hot is what i would go with :P

[fleabert]

70. more than moderately...

I am a very critical judge too...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

75. lol! thanks!

[qnr]

7. 12 hours? That's just a warm-up period for some of us :) n/t

[fleabert]

28. now my hands are loose, after all this typing!

I love it!

[gmoney]

39. Wow!

Keeping up with you on this thread is harder than I thought it would be... might have to start posting blackmail pictures. :)

[fleabert]

44. oh no you don't! we have an agreement! nt

[ghostsofgiants]

10. I just burped through my nose...that was painful.

And welcome to the club. If it wasn't for the response to my band names thred, I'd be convinced that 90% of the people here have me on ignore, haha.

[JimmyJazz]

18. Who are you?

:P

[ghostsofgiants]

40. I'm the guy who has a The Who ear worm thanks to you.

[fleabert]

31. and I (shamefully) did not respond to your band names thread...

sorry mook!

sometimes a self-serving vanity thread will lift the spirits, or so I hear. I wouldn't know myself, of course...

[gmoney]

36. Could that be right?

I've heard you say so many times that you're shameless... :)

[fleabert]

46. and I am also shameless in my inconsistancies and

incongruities!

[gmoney]

54. "incongruities"

Check out the big vocab on the Fleabert!

[ghostsofgiants]

48. The band name thread is doing surprisingly well...

My last thread before that, which was an epic tale of overcoming my usually horrible luck with concerts and going to a Pearl Jam show. Quite a lackluster response there.

I've come to realize that no one wants to read about triumph. They want the down and dirty stuff. They wanna be mean and to complain. Which is where the band name thread comes into play.

So give them something to complain about and I assure you, your reply drought should end.

[fleabert]

53. sage advice...

but I remember Dupe fondly, it was neither good nor bad, it simply WAS.

So tell me the best news you have had lately, and I will reply!

[ghostsofgiants]

78. Well the most recent good news would be the Pearl Jam tale...

I'll copy and paste it from my DeviantArt journal, becuase I'm too lazy to track down the thread.

Part 1 - Friday night
Okay, so there's a Pearl Jam show here tomorrow. I wasn't planning on going originally, because I never got a chance to pick up a ticket and I was low on cash anyway when they went on sale. Today, my roommate told me that a friend of his was selling a ticket if I was interested. I decided to go for it. My dad even said he'd reimburse me the money for the ticket. What great luck.

But if you've read anything regarding concerts (not counting Wintersleep...they need to come back so I can actually make it to a show again) that I've written here in the past, you know what kind of luck I have when it comes to concerts.

I thought everything was sorted out. I was going to be seeing Pearl Jam tomorrow night. Then I read a review of the Halifax show only to discover that Sleater-Kinney opened for them there, which made me assume that they would also be opening for them here. Fuck yes! Now I'm really excited. Sleater-fucking-Kinney. If you don't know them, fucking get to know them. They kick ass.

About twenty minutes ago, however, my roommate's friend called. It was my roommate's friend's roommate (or some shit like that) that had the spare ticket to sell, and as it turns out he had sold it not even an hour before I found out about it, and my roommate's friend was unaware of this. Christ. I really should have seen it coming. History has clearly shown that concerts just are not meant to be attended by me.

Oh well. At the very least I'll get to skate the new skatepark here tomorrow, and I think one of the guys I'll be skating with is also in need of a ticket, in which case I may have a plan B. So there's still a little bit of hope.

I'm seriously beginning to think that there has to be some rock-n-roll deity up there who like, throws darts at a picture of me on a daily basis or something. Fucking cunt. FUCK YOU, DART-THROWING DEITY!

Part 2 - Saturday night
So around 6:30 this evening, I'm hone alone, rocking out to some New Order and making some french fries for supper. All of a sudden the phone rings. It's my roommate, calling from the stadium. He has a Pearl Jam ticket for me. The ticket was just a few rows back, right along the side of the stage. Spectacular seats. The best part? It only cost me TWENTY FUCKING DOLLARS. So I hop on the Route 3 bus and went downtown.

I missed Wintersleep (who opened the show instead of Sleater-Kinney), which I was pretty disappointed about, but I got there a few minutes before Pearl Jam took the stage. It was so fucking incredible.

I really can't think of anything else to say right now. The concert gods ahve finally taken down that picture and put away the darts. And it's about fucking time, those rat bastards.

[fleabert]

82. that's a great story!

remind me to tell you the story my dh has about seeing pearl jam, I gotta go watch Boston Legal this instant!

[ghostsofgiants]

85. I just noticed something about Part 1...

"(not counting Wintersleep...they need to come back so I can actually make it to a show again)"

I had no idea Wintersleep would be opening the show when I wrote that. Up until the Pearl Jam show, they had been the only band I had seen since like 2002. (But definitely not the only band I had made plans to see since 2002.) Despite missing their performance, that's a pretty neat coincidence.

I really hsould go to sleep. I have a class at 9:00 AM. It is now 3:42 AM.

[fleabert]

86. good to see you hit the 1000's!!!!!!!!!

woot woot!

and that was a cool coincidence, I noticed it too!

[ghostsofgiants]

88. I hit the thousands quite some time ago, ahha

This will be 7591.

[fleabert]

89. sorry darlin' - got you confused with someone else..

it would serve me well to actually READ sometimes! :blush:

I have a bad habit of just reading the message sometimes, and not see the names, shame on me~!

I was thinking of 'leftwinger' and they still have ten to go on their quest for the four digits!

[ghostsofgiants]

90. Haha, it's all good

And since they're not there yet, maybe it's a good thing you accidentally said that to me, haha.

[fleabert]

91. ahem...I thought you were going to bed?!?!!? it's now 3am where I am...

aren't you tired?

[ghostsofgiants]

93. And it's 8:00 AM here, which is what I had my alarm clock set for...

I have a class in one hour. Just couldn't sleep. I have two classes, then I'm coming home, at which point I'll probably end up crashing for the rest of the day, thus further fucking up my sleep habits. Happens every so often with me.

[fleabert]

94. same here, well at least the fucked up sleep habits.

I forced myself into bed at 5 am yesterday, asleep around 6, woke up at 11, you would think I'd be tired now at 330...sadly no.

it happens every few months like this. I hate it. I am about to brush my teeth and lay in bed and see what happens.

Have a good day, hope class goes well and you get some good rest later.

[Left Is Write]

15. I haven't had a reply since last night.

I've had a hard time getting replies lately. I went 19-20 posts without any.

Until I found that smashing dress on eBay last night and posted it here, I thought I might have become invisible.

So...how's fleabert? :hi:

[qnr]

17. What the heck is chiffon, anyway? n/t

[Left Is Write]

43. It's a sheer, floaty fabric.

[fleabert]

50. fleabert is okay, happy when I am in the lounge,

irritated that my house doesn't magically clean itself while I am here...wouldn't that be great?

post a pic of the dress again, I missed it!

[Left Is Write]

60. Here is a link to the auction...

http://cgi.ebay.com/PINK-VELVET-GLAMOUR-CHIFFON-vintage-50s-party-dress_W0QQitemZ8337519680QQcategoryZ48868QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I wish I could justify bidding on it.

[fleabert]

64. very audrey hepburn!

you would look amazing in it! c'mon, who doesn't have a couple of hundred just lying around waiting to be spent on dress with no occasion to wear it?

you and me both, babe! I spent some sad time on coach.com today.

[GOPisEvil]

16. Now that's just wrong.

Maybe it's your trashy tattoo. ;)

[fleabert]

57. that's what I was thinking...

That, and the fact that I am only about three inches from being white trash for real!

[gmoney]

19. Now you know how I feel, Fleabert!

The Lounge is crazy infatuated with you, but is giving you your space...

...either that, or we're holding out on you until you find that damn USB cable. :bounce:

[fleabert]

66. I don't know about the lounge so much...

you on the other hand...

(if only I was as great as you imagine me to be!)

[gmoney]

76. Well, you have yet to prove me wrong...

...for one, you have a high tolerance for me, which I think is pretty great on its own.

[Left_Winger]

27. Here's a reply

I'm trying to make it into the four-digit club tonight. So, I'll talk about most anything right now.

[fleabert]

67. fifteen to go? Easy shmeasy....

tell me about your favorite food...

[Left_Winger]

72. Homemade pizza

I make it all from scratch; I just can't toss the dough into the air. Any and all toppings available, excepting anchovies. Once, while living in Germany I encountered tuna pizza (yuck).

[fleabert]

74. ewwww. tuna pizza, gross...

did you get to spend some time traveling in Europe while you lived there?

[Left_Winger]

77. Somewhat, all of it was in Germany and Poland

I spent most of the time in archives and libraries, but they were scattered all over: Munich, Koblenz, Berlin and Warsaw. Then there were the interviews which took me to many small towns in Poland. I was amazed how much I was accepted in Poland. Many of these towns were so small the only way in was by walking. The children were the first to notice me and that I was most definitely a foreigner (because of my clothes, I found out). Then I totally amazed them by being able to speak Polish. At one point I felt like the Pied Piper of Hamlet (more accurately: Zamosc)... I had a long line of children following me. Most of them had never met someone from the USA.

[fleabert]

83. very very interesting!

interviews? why were you there, if I can ask... ?

[Left_Winger]

97. I was working on my doctorate in history

The topic: underground resistance from the common person's perspective.

[fleabert]

98. VERY interesting!

Everyone should read it! We need both an orgainzed underground and above ground resistance!

I bet you got some amazing stories out of those interviews!

Wow, just wow!

[bliss_eternal]

65. Hi fleabert!

:hi:

Just wanted to say hi, before I leave this area for a while. I guess some days it's a virtual crap shoot as to what will illicit a response in others here in the lounge, or DU in general.

It had been about as long for me, too--just prior to receiving a reply about a minute ago.

Hope you enjoy your time here today--and your threads are filled with responses! :hug:

[fleabert]

69. same to you! and thanks for the reply and the hug!

I love me some hugs!

Aren't they the best?!

[fleabert]

73. they are eternally blissful!

I know, lame... but it's true!

[bliss_eternal]

79. LOL!

:bounce:

[NMMNG]

84. I still love you

But don't feel bad, precious few are replying to me. :cry:

[fleabert]

87. (secret--> post a self-serving vanity thread and see what happens)

I feel ten thousand billion million times better tonight, after this lovely loving thread! :hug:

you gotta do whatcha gotta do in this life...

slay many fundies lately? I have been avoiding them like the plague they are...

[billyskank]

92. I know how that feels

How about a :hug: ?

Still, this vanity thread did alright eh!

[fleabert]

95. I will always accept a hug!

:hug: one for you too...

and, yes, I feel much better now, and very loved!

[KyndCulture]

96. I'm barely awake but this thread is totally funny!!

:rofl:

[fleabert]

99. sleep deprivation is anything if not helpful for the sense of humor!

glad you got a giggle! :hug:

[gmoney]

100. Hey Fleabert...

Sorry, I sort of fell behind in my quest to reply to each of your replies. But I'm sure you didn't mind... Sorry to hear your sleep's messed up these days, too. Not sure what's causing mine. I could sleep all day and stay awake all night, but NO, the world doesn't want to hear about that.

Here's to some shuteye... :boring:
