Y'all. Y'all! I told you I loved Colby. I done tole you he was my new love. (Dameetry or not.)He brought the Texas flag as his luxury item. He said there are two things he's thankful for every morning: First, that he's alive. Second, that he's a Texan.
Allison, can I live with you in Dallas??

By the way, Chris is OBSESSED with Suvivor. I will barely discuss it with him, because I really don't like to watch it. He would be so pleased if y'all would chat it up with him sometime.

You can say this:To: Ray From: Johanna Re: Seafood
Dear Ray,
My name is Johanna Beth Merrill. Like you, I am from the great state of Texas (say is like GWB does and it will mean even more to you, I swear). And like you, Fortuna's wheel has spun me far, far away from Texas. I am in the snowy recesses of the Midwest, and you are in California. You are warmer than I am, for sure, but I have little doubt that the nagging whispers of "Texas..." plague us equally.
So here's the thing: we have several mutual friends who are convinced that you and I are meant for each other. Heck, they've probably been telling you the same things they've been telling me for the past week.
I'm sorry you were not in Vegas, but maybe we will have another opportunity. They say that you're sort of A&M, but I won't hold that against you.
Warm regards,
Johanna Beth Merrill

Let's talk about it.Rudergirl is all about her trip to TGI Friday's for lunch. That ain't right, y'all. And then there is some girl who ahs set a goal of being rich enough to furnish her house care of the Bombay Company.
-- Anonymous, January 29, 2001
Lord. Of course, I can't make fun of her, because all my living room furniture came from Dillard's. I even have this trendy leopard print chair and ottoman that I hate to love, but I sort of do. Three years from now, everybody's gonna come in my house and whisper to each other "How very 'Year 2000...'"
And my kitchen table, that I HATE, came from a consignment shop. Something about it is so "country touch," I hate it.
So, the magazine. We were saying in the SPC thread (should we go there to talk about it? Does it matter?) that we should maybe each pick a section or two and plan it out. Then we can bring them all together and see what works and what should stay and what should go. I sort of want Music (though I think it will overwhelm me) and Travel.
T, Travel could actually be something like Travel & Leisure (shout- out to Trivial Pursuit much) or something, and include food. I just want to do something on travel, people. I know I could probably only update it like, bi-weekly (because what could we say on a weekly basis when we're not actually going anywhere?) so, maybe it SHOULD be combined with food/drink - because I KNOW T's gonna want to write about that.
I was trying to say in the SPC thread how, though my big idea is that we should each pick a few sections and plan them, I think we should all write about whatever we want, whenever we have an idea for a subject. Does that make sense? Like, if AB wanted to up and write something on sports, she should and Mike should edit it. So, we should set it up like we're editors of certain sections, but everybody should feel free to write about everything... can y'all see how I've gone stream-of-consciousness? Sorry about that. I'm just trying to get it down. Am I making any sense AT ALL?

You're right, I would like to write about food and wine. Naturally, I would not be the only person who would write about food and wine, but yeah. What Allison said. I know a little about politics, and Joh also knows a lot, and she's the token R.

I know a little politics, too, and Mike knows a lot, so we have that covered. Who wants to take Politics?
Well, T, let's you and me tag-team on the planning of the Travel/Food/Whatever you want to call it Section.
I told y'all that the MOC and Eric are really interested in contributing, right? They'll probably mostly go for music, Chris might also want to do politics or current events or whatever. I figure we'll ALL write about music, at some point.
Why can't I talk about this without feeling like I'm talking about Trivial Pursuit. I feel like a dork. Y'all tell me if I'm being one.
I also want to do Books/Literature, but I can't do that and Music, so whoever wants to get that started, I'll be happy to pair-up with you on a plan. I have lots of ideas for that, so if anybody really, really wants Music, I'll do Literature instead.
Does anyone else read The Atlantic Monthly? Their site www.AtlanticUnbound.com, is even better than the print pub, I think. Y'all check it out, when you get a chance. That's the sort of thing I'd like to do, except funnier and not quite so white and high- brow and, uh, not Salon.

Oh yeah, movies. You know, Movies should probably fall under something like Pop Culture (which can include tv and whatever else), or maybe we can hook it all into Entertainment and combine it with music.

I did read about the mag...One thing I thought of (and may have said earlier) is that we might want to model the format a little like The New Yorker (but not as highbrow). They have a lot of regular features, but only a couple are in every issue ... everything else runs as news permits. Ergo, "Letter from New York", for example, might run every second or third issue, but not when there's nothing going on.
I also think we need some sort of a back page-esque essay-type feature, either humorous or otherwise.

Oh, whatever:"Hi, I'm Meghan. I love to exercise. I've never admitted this publically before due to the excessive amounts of teasing that I have endured over this little fact over the short duration of my life.
During the summer months, this is the routine that I follow through every evening: five miles of running. Three miles of walking. Every other day: five miles of rollerblading and five miles of biking through wooded areas with paths, or some street biking (i.e. 35 MPH riding through town). Am I insane for doing this every single evening? I spend several hours doing these things and I love it.
During the winter months I will run on the treadmill or walk on the treadmill, lift small weights and ice skate. I use a friend's indoor swimming pool and swim occasionally to tone up. It really is quite fun.

Y'all, if you really want an advice column - and I don't really know exactly what kind y'all were thinking of - but I had already thought of one. My Mother is a GREAT writer. And she knows EVERYTHING. I think she would make a great advice columnist. She's very funny and she learned how to do everything she's ever done because she HAD to. She is so self-reliant and has a lot of ingenuity when it comes to the day-to-day living stuff no one ever tells you about when you become an adult. She is especially brilliant at personal finance, having handled car loans and whatnot for 30 years for Ford. So, if you wanted to make our Travel/Food/Whatev section into a Life/Home section, a "Dear Mrs. Lowe, how do I do this?" column would be so much fun.

And, I've never asked her a question she didn't know the answer to. She cannot be beaten, really. The one thing she might not be the best about is recipe advice, since she's like "You throw in some of this and a little of that and just taste it to see if it's ok."

T-- I just read your entry, and you're killing me. How am I supposed to enjoy Taco Bell for dinner when you're writing about four-course meals? Can you ship some leftovers up here or something?

Ok, am I dumb because I can't figure out how to download a ringtone for my Ericsson phone? It isn't all easy like a Nokia. The better question is: Why do I want to do this at all? Because, two things:
1) I hate the sound of a ringing cell phone and,
2) I never have my cell phone turned on anyway.
But...y'all know I want my phone to ring Brick House, right?

I think you can do that on my phone too. I'll have to break down and look at the manual to figure it out.

Well, it's just your number and your service provider. You have to find out so we can send each other messages...on the phone...from the computer...yeah, maybe it's dumb.

You know, this has kind of been a bizarre (and bad) day, and I thought I had seen it all. But leigha? On the Allison crush thread?What's up with that?

I KNOW. Whatev. Obviously, she is trying to act like she never said she hated my ass. Nice... As IF.
I may appear to be forgiving, but I nevah forget. I think, as a matter of fact, the official MATH flag should have that embroidered on it as a motto. Sort of like "Don't Tread On Me."
Of course, if she wants to be all nice or whatever, that's fine. Any way I can manage to make Mike's nemesis look bad, is fine with me. Down with BM. It is my new goal. Nooooooobody calls me hypocrytical, whether it be true or not. And nobody, NOBODY, brings heat on my MATHertons when I'm not there to deliver the roundhouse. I want him and Jessifer GONE.
Aw, Bermanater. You're having a bad day? Are the office jags dissing your Terps? Do you want me to sing you a song on your answering machine? Because you know I'll do it! I'm about to leave but, whatsamatta, you?

Hey all. TVs all re-runs tonight.I get to work on the girl's beauty/bath products project!! That's what my big meeting was at 1. The head merchant was all, this is a big thing, a lot of time, hire a freelance etc. My boss was like, yeah, whatever, Johanna can do it. And I showed them stuff today, and they know I totally have the voice. I knew my obsession with teen culture would pay off. I didn't want to write about it at work. Although I'll acess this there, so what does it matter...

Let's just say that you know it's not going to be one of those days you want to bottle up and save when your first coherant action involves locking your keys in the car.And yeah, my co-workers are killing me. Kill. Ling. Me. From the first second I walked in. I'm like, "Y'all better hope Maryland never wins a national championship because I will taunt forever, and I'll be justified."
But I won't, really. I'm good that way.
But I won $60 in our office Super Bowl pool, so it's all good.

Oh, and I updated. And really, my first coherant action of the day was writing that, so my previous post was inaccurate.

Y'all around? I'm working on hateyourdaddy, and watching Family Law (mostly out of a an eternal devotion to Dixie Carter).Mike. Keys in the car? Are you the Born Car Loser these days with the scraping and the key locking? Poor thing. It really does make me sad. I should have sung you a little song on your machine. I'm a bad friend. If I could reach my cell phone, I'd do it right now.
Great entry, though. Really. Even though it contained the unfortunate Terp news.
