Well, guess we've reached the afternoon slowdown. Time to put on some Bill Whithers, kick off the shoes, put the phone on hold, get a glass of iced tea, then do some dirty work.
It ain't gettin' done by itself.

It's so great to see all the people I've come to regard as good friends still impondering away, with some new faces too that I can't wait to get to know, even after my however many week break!
Have I missed anything juicy? Anyone got a new significant other?
I've been having a manic time! Went to my first nudist event (actually great fun!), came this close to having my first lesbian experience and had a wonderful holiday with my sex buddy without a cross word being spoken! Sadly now it's back to job hunting, living with parents and having no social life!

NVG, a rather shapely midget with fishnet stockings...
Oh, sorry, didn't know this thing was on!
MSG, never been one to leer. Always liked the surreptitious glances, the way the muscles moved as they walked...oy, here I go again...sorry!
Mal4Prez...*ahem* "OHHHH! Happyyy Dayyy!!"
Hey, Ged! Glad to see you back!
RugBug, sweets are one of the food groups, so you'll be alright. 
Emma, I am dying to hear more! Unfortunately, I have a date with my wife...so I bid you all a fond farewell until tomorrow!

Hello! Ok, i've been really bad at keeping up with this thread for the last few weeks, I didn't mean to, but i've been so busy, and y'all move so fast, my lightning in a butter barrel friends.
So, I suppose, straight in with the long and involved detail from the life of Helen....
My siblings an i are stereotypical My eldest sister is put-upon and in my parents eyes the reliable one, I'm middle and most likely to be forgotten about, but i think i have the edge in the academic stakes, and my brother is the youngest and only boy, so he is spoilt rotten by my father.
The fights in our house when we were kids were epic, as was the trickery and ritualised torture (my crimes alone feature throwing an iron saucepan at my sister, climbing the walls and sitting near the cieling in order to dump water on people as they come out of the bathroom, and forcing my brother into drag at an early age) I'd like to say that the urge to fight has gone away, but it hasn't. Not living with my sister has improved the situation We can now make it about 6 hours with out bloodshed. Basically she's nice and simple and honest, if airy fairy and holier than thou and a closet b****, and i'm a complicated, sarcastic and contrary, but much more fun to have around.
I still do wrestle with my brother on occasion, and a swipe around the head finds its way to him sometimes.
My mother, somehow, managed to, as part of some general non-conformism agenda, implant in our heads that drugs, alchohol and petty crime were actually a bit crap and pointless, and ultimitly a bit boring. This was done mainly by granting us ample opportunity to indulge ('long as we never let on to dad)(NOT the petty crime i hasten to add) in anything we wanted, We never did. (ok, we never did much)
Its very hard to rebel really when your mum is happy to join in. And often beating you to it.
So...
Interestingly, mine and my brothers experience tally with Magda's. He always had the problem of not applying himself enough because the work wasn't stimulatin him enough (he's looking at doing a second degree, this time in robotics and AI, and according to his teachers he's always been 'slow')(funny story - my mum got called into his school when he was four, and told that he couldn't do colour or numbers, so my mother asked him to name the colours of things she pointed to, he did everyone right, then counted from 1 to 20 and back down again. When asked why he didn't do it for his teachers, he said he was 'tricking them', fifteen years later the exact same thing happened to my dads sister and her son) And i was always pecieved as brighter, but only in creative area's, and so was miserable with stress for most of school (when i got to college at 21, i found out i was dyslexic, when i told my mother she said she'd told my teachers i was when i was nine, but they'd dismissed her claims as i was a good reader) Despite this, my sister got constant updates on all of my 'achievements', which made her feel great i'm sure.
Though all of this paled in comparison to the trauma of having my dad teaching in my school - and the other kids knowing it.
Other folk love lives, i've resolved to stay the hell outof it, for my own sanity.
(one friend at the m,oment it with a guy, but not 'with' him, they do everything couples do, they both 'want commitment', but he has 'issues' from his last girlfriend, he also believes that she cheats on him, and says thats ok, then cry's about it. She get upset at his not trusting her, and says that she should dump him, but they've just moved intogether. She also doesn't trust him. All the while insisting that they arn't together so its fine to see others.
If i get involved now it will be to grab them by the necks and hit their heads together and tell them to grow the f*** up.
On my brain?
1, sew costumes
2, pack! finish costumes!
3, finish costumes!
4, argh!
5, I hate other peoples small children
6, eat something
7, frickin' costumes!
As of the completion of my last bit od sewing.
!, ahhhhhhhh.... bliss.
2, oh, hungry.

Emma- aside from Mal4Prez snaggin' on a guy she really likes, I think that may be the only new "SO"-ish news out there.
So, almost a first eh? And you got the nudist colony first out of the way. Plus passin' your exam and all. And wrassilin' with the beneficial friend with nary a cross word. Sounds like one hell of a time.
I now envy you.
Sern- Always glad to see ya pop in. I think women subject themselves to such things because of habit. That and there is always the "Just in case" scenario.
As a guy. I'd like to state a very fond thank you from all the guys who appreciate smooth legs and seperate brow. And thank you for the colored toes. Always a pleasure to look at.
Though we rarely show it, we thank you.

Mmmmmm! Thanks Arcadia!
I really empathise about the whole "Why do I bother!" cry of the despairing singleton. I am currently all hairy and flobbly and feeling frumpy but have decided that a bit of primping the next time I go out and meet people (possibly as far away as September at the Serenity3 event) will be in order, not to conform to some sort of society ideal of femininity (God, if a man would only stay with me if my legs were perfectly smooth I'd cast him away in disgust!) but as a morale booster to try to bolster my flagging ego. I've also put myself on a strict diet (too much binging over Uni work!) on the theory that if I can get myself feeling good about me I may be more likely to attract more flattering comments and create a positive feedback loop of self worth!
Hmm, where did that long spurge come from?! I've obviously been suffering from withdrawal symptoms here!

Really? Must have been a much delayed double post!
Anyway, much respect for the dating thing! That takes courage, and skill to even arrange. How do you go about finding people worthy of dateage? (Or was that the problem, did you set your sights too low?)
