I am so freaking pissed right now... stupid freaking room mate... I swear to god... two and a half hours to clean two little things..... so she says.. hardly nothing is done... and now she's trying to guilt me into doing shit.. (which i had ALREADY planned on doing anyways) freaking c**t erg! she never knows when to keep her mouth shut... its one thing to ask nicely.. its another thing to try and guilt me into doing something I am exhausted. I haven't slept well, and she's complaining that she "pushed her self so hard" OMG it was ONE hour worth of work. if it took her two and half hours, she's a dumb @$$ I am so sick and tired of living here. so sick of her bull $h!T. so tired of it.. sadly I have to continue to put up with that crap because I have no where else to go. jesus... its like its my house and they are the lazy ones.. they are constantly asking me to do things.... because me not having a job is their excuse to do nothing.. seriously... they expect me to pick up after them (I'm talking the trail of clothing they leave in the living room, among other things.. I don't just mean "my share" of the household chores... OH, and one only works one day a week, because his hours got cut and the other one doesn't work at all anymore, not even her. um... "hanging out with friends" job lol) I'm the only one that will clean the bathroom and they use only bleach cleaners in there which gives me a raging headache every time, because I'm mildly allergic to the crap... granted I haven't been able to do much since I hurt my wrist, but seriously. I've done TONS more than they have.. *rips hair out* I'm so pissed... there are no words to describe how mad I am right now.... yeah, two hours worth of work... whatever... she hardly did anything at all... what a loser and a freaking lair. I'm sick of this...

i sure hope that the washer and dryer people get back to me.... and I hope that lady who's getting the loft bed show up.. a lot's riding on the fact that they show up today. There's quite a few things I need that are counting on this sale (like a mattress and frame, and a small desk as well!) *sigh* I wish I could find a damn full size mattress soon. this is getting rediculous also.. if you are going to talk to a friend about something you are wanting to sell, don't put it on CL! stupid! >.<

StormKnight, your job seems very fascinating and every time you post about it, i want to know more. lol yeah, I'm a geek and a nerd

i wish my bed wasn't so empty... i need a snuggle

i once made a cd case out of duct tape.. that was many years ago. sadly I forgot the line each pocket, and so the tape resiue would stick to the cd's.. it held 8 I think. it was similar in design to a file box. you know the ones you open the flap and it sort of fans open as each section expands

its so funny to click on the topics that guests are supposedly looking at, sometimes, cuz its crazy/silly/cute/amusing what you all were thinking/doing back in 2005 lol

i am thinking that i found Jynxxxy a washer and dryer but don't have the means to get it to her.. anyone have a truck??? anyone willing to transport a washer and dryer for her?! PLEASE PM ME!!!I emailed the people seeing if its still available and if they'd at least meet half way.. just waiting to hear back.. you guys know she needs a modern washer.. that things from the 20's or older.. it doesn't even have a spin cycle and have to be roller rung out!!!! lol (yes I was really thinking all that!)

being wubbied by a certain hairless kitteh

too bad that site's jacked up.. that could have been cool.

Already talking about getting flyers sent to me and DeathFearsNone lol

Thanks Hille! I am thinking: "I wonder if he's pulling his jack-assery on purpose"

i am thinking that DGN is turning into a regular love nest LOL everyone's hooking up, or getting engaged, or getting married, or something!

OMG!!! YAY!!!!! Congrats!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! (it took me freaking 3 times to post this damn thing, as it wouldn't let me... hopefully it works this time. three times a charm... jeeze) Edit: "charge" and "charm" are apparently interchangeable now LOL (or NOT)

annoyed that feelings of the past could still get to me now (not the lovey-dovey ones, but the anger and the reasons for feeling pain) I HATE that I rememeber what those were like. Let the past be the past damnit! ugh stupid brain.. anyways I am feeling loved tired lonely confined cramped (this room is entirely TOO small!) broke hopeless hopeful not looking forward to leaving the house tomorrow, but its a must. I NEED to fill out the aps and turn them in! I need to! (I gotta get them first lol)

Before Lucy came Ardi, new earliest hominid found By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID, AP Science Writer Randolph E. Schmid, Ap Science Writer Here's a link to the pictures. (<---Clicky) WASHINGTON – The story of humankind is reaching back another million years as scientists learn more about "Ardi," a hominid who lived 4.4 million years ago in what is now Ethiopia. The 110-pound, 4-foot female roamed forests a million years before the famous Lucy, long studied as the earliest skeleton of a human ancestor. This older skeleton reverses the common wisdom of human evolution, said anthropologist C. Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University. Rather than humans evolving from an ancient chimp-like creature, the new find provides evidence that chimps and humans evolved from some long-ago common ancestor — but each evolved and changed separately along the way. "This is not that common ancestor, but it's the closest we have ever been able to come," said Tim White, director of the Human Evolution Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley. The lines that evolved into modern humans and living apes probably shared an ancestor 6 million to 7 million years ago, White said in a telephone interview. But Ardi has many traits that do not appear in modern-day African apes, leading to the conclusion that the apes evolved extensively since we shared that last common ancestor. A study of Ardi, under way since the first bones were discovered in 1994, indicates the species lived in the woodlands and could climb on all fours along tree branches, but the development of their arms and legs indicates they didn't spend much time in the trees. And they could walk upright, on two legs, when on the ground. Formally dubbed Ardipithecus ramidus — which means root of the ground ape — the find is detailed in 11 research papers published Thursday by the journal Science. "This is one of the most important discoveries for the study of human evolution," said David Pilbeam, curator of paleoanthropology at Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. "It is relatively complete in that it preserves head, hands, feet and some critical parts in between. It represents a genus plausibly ancestral to Australopithecus — itself ancestral to our genus Homo," said Pilbeam, who was not part of the research teams. Scientists assembled the skeleton from 125 pieces. Lucy, also found in Africa, thrived a million years after Ardi and was of the more human-like genus Australopithecus. "In Ardipithecus we have an unspecialized form that hasn't evolved very far in the direction of Australopithecus. So when you go from head to toe, you're seeing a mosaic creature that is neither chimpanzee, nor is it human. It is Ardipithecus," said White. White noted that Charles Darwin, whose research in the 19th century paved the way for the science of evolution, was cautious about the last common ancestor between humans and apes. "Darwin said we have to be really careful. The only way we're really going to know what this last common ancestor looked like is to go and find it. Well, at 4.4 million years ago we found something pretty close to it," White said. "And, just like Darwin appreciated, evolution of the ape lineages and the human lineage has been going on independently since the time those lines split, since that last common ancestor we shared." Some details about Ardi in the collection of papers: • Ardi was found in Ethiopia's Afar Rift, where many fossils of ancient plants and animals have been discovered. Findings near the skeleton indicate that at the time it was a wooded environment. Fossils of 29 species of birds and 20 species of small mammals were found at the site. • Geologist Giday WoldeGabriel of Los Alamos National Laboratory was able to use volcanic layers above and below the fossil to date it to 4.4 million years ago. • Ardi's upper canine teeth are more like the stubby ones of modern humans than the long, sharp, pointed ones of male chimpanzees and most other primates. An analysis of the tooth enamel suggests a diverse diet, including fruit and other woodland-based foods such as nuts and leaves. • Paleoanthropologist Gen Suwa of the University of Tokyo reported that Ardi's face had a projecting muzzle, giving her an ape-like appearance. But it didn't thrust forward quite as much as the lower faces of modern African apes do. Some features of her skull, such as the ridge above the eye socket, are quite different from those of chimpanzees. The details of the bottom of the skull, where nerves and blood vessels enter the brain, indicate that Ardi's brain was positioned in a way similar to modern humans, possibly suggesting that the hominid brain may have been already poised to expand areas involving aspects of visual and spatial perception. • Ardi's hand and wrist were a mix of primitive traits and a few new ones, but they don't include the hallmark traits of the modern tree-hanging, knuckle-walking chimps and gorillas. She had relatively short palms and fingers which were flexible, allowing her to support her body weight on her palms while moving along tree branches, but she had to be a careful climber because she lacked the anatomical features that allow modern-day African apes to swing, hang and easily move through the trees. • The pelvis and hip show the gluteal muscles were positioned so she could walk upright. • Her feet were rigid enough for walking but still had a grasping big toe for use in climbing. The research was funded by the National Science Foundation, the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics of the University of California, Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and others.

I am so jealous of you two right now. you are right next door to my home state. Welcome to the south, y'all! and yeah, I haven't seen the bread in SC since I was too small to talk... so wow! that's a sight! Hope y'all are having a great time! (by the way, I'm the only southern person who spells "y'all" correctly. LOL... at least, that I know of LOL)

Congrats to the new couple. I'm honored that I could spend such a blessed day with you all.. The DGN tern out was so amazing! I got so many little skeletons, it was great! LOL I hope that you guys have an awesome life together!

I quoted something I had posted in here, earlier. as I said earlier, he's ok, now. Still worried about him though.... but he seems to be getting around alright....

I am feeling really grateful for having friends who are willing to help. Thanks Enishi for helping me with Ryuu's crisis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you will never really know how thankful I really am. Confused: where the heck did the spell check button go? o.O I know there use to be one (I know firefox has an internal spell check, but when that one fails, the old DGN one would catch what I missed.. I haven't really needed it until now, though.. and its gone... ) anyways Ryuu is ok, and the proud wearer of a soft blue eCollar (that's the medical cones to keep em from licking themselves...) its rigged so he can't push it forward to scratch his neck. its a puncture, but it didn't hit anything vital. He's on antibiotics, and soft food. *sigh* I'm still worried about him, though. I won't feel better until the hole closes up.... which hopefully is soon. thank goodness he's got a high metabolism, and wounds heal almost twice as fast as regular breeds. he's not happy about the collar, and he keeps trying to rub the collar off lol

like no one cares.. he is just a cat, after all... nothing special, right? there will be others..... that's like telling a mother, who's child just died, that "its ok, you can have more" seriously.... I feel shitty...
