SO, yesterday I was sitting at the bus stop, awaiting my chariot home, whe I decided to have a cigarette.
I took the cig out of the packet, brang towards my mouth, and took the lighter which my mum had bought me back from Corfu to it.
The next thing I know, I can smell singing, and i think, "oh, must just be a bit of hair getting caught - ya know, how it usually does".
This is when I realise that my hair is on fire. In a panic I manically start slapping my head to put it out. As I slap my head and pull my hand away, clumps of hair are coming away with it, and I can see ash falling.
Now any girls, or anyone with long hair will understand how terrifying this is.
That is when i suddenly brush my hand against my eyebrows to realise they feel like they too have been burnt.
The fire has gone out by now, but im still pulling clumps of hair from my scalp, and maddly feeling how far back this has gone.
Some lovely guy at the bus stop tries to take some of the ash out of my hair, and askes if im ok.
Im not entirely sure what happened, it was just a little fire ball.
Forutunately, i have incredibly thick hair, and so you cant really notice it, but all down my left hand side theres little bits of hair where there used to be long hair. My eyelashes which were very long, are now, i guess normal length, and my eyebrow on one side is much thinner and shorter than the other.
Thankfully, my hair grows very quickly, and i have to change the side which i usually have my hair over my face... but fuck me was that scary.
Anyway, thought id share that all with you to give you a bit of a chuckle, and also because im avoiding doing college work, as you may have noticed from my extravagant posting today.
So any other fire related stories of that sort?

Maybe Cheeseman just meant you were aloof, rather than a loof.

Actually, they wernt intentional. I find when i concentrate on getting no typos, i end up having more. very odd.

yeah, i wish i could say the same. i'd rather watch an episode of the tv show than see the movie again. they should have just used a real person. and the split-screen stuff was horrible. totally took you out of the movie.
but i'm not going to argue about jennifer connelly, in anything. |

I personally loved the movie, but I can understand where some people would think it sucks. Most people need an explosion every couple of minutes to keep the happy. I hope they make another, now that they have the set up out of the way they can maybe do something a little more busy. They could lose Bana though. Keep your girlfriend of couse.
Even though I like Janeane's style what's her name is just plain hot!

not fat definitely equals better
so, as a fan of the Hulk tv show, what did you think of the movie? |
| The King Of Karaoke |
Posted - 06/17/2004 : 13:48:13
Playing Atari 2600, watching The Hulk, and eating cheese its were our favorite activities. That and setting each other on fire.
But I hit puberty and overcame. So did my fat little brother. He and I live together when i ahd my first apartment. I was 19 and he was 15. I put him on what affectionately come to be known as the "WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO BUY FOOD!!!!" diet. because that's what he used to scream at me whenever I got home from work. I told him "What are you bitching about? You've dropped thiry five pounds and you have all these hot high school chicks calling here." I'm still not sure how he met all the hot high school chicks bercause he wasn't showing up at the place that frequently.
Tough times yeah, but they made us better men.
You know cause we're not fat anymore.

so would you say you come from a portly family KOK? |
| The King Of Karaoke |
Posted - 06/17/2004 : 13:32:34
Okay, here's the set up:
Once when I was about twelve(and going through bit of a pyro stage) my little brother Joshua, my friends and I, were sitting in my front yard experimenting with Zippo lighter fluid (We were into firecrackers had are own zippos, the works). We discovered that if you squirt a little lighter fluid on your finger and light it, you can let it burn for a bit then shake it out with out suffering any ill effects.
After doing this a few times and having loads of fun, my little brother wants to try. I'm not one to exclude a portly goofy family member from my childhood games so I oblige by I dousing his entire hand with lighter fluid and setting it a flame.
Now picture this:
Brother with hand in flames initially smilling in amazement.
Brother with hand in flames shakes hand but hand is still in flames...still smiling.
Brother with hand in flames shakes hand but hand is still in flames...look of panic overtakes his portly little face.
Brother with hand in flames shakes hand franticly while jumping in circles all around the front yard.
Older brother (and friends) tackle the fat little bastard and smother the flames out.
Result?
No "pudgy hand" harm done, little brother pretending it was fun to hold onto what little cool he thought he had left and Nana sitting inside watching "All In The Family". Older portly brother decides " Lets go Josh, I think it's time for a fudgcicle and Cheese its, break."

Oh. Speaking of bands and fire, we have an Arp 2600 (grey face) that my husband purchased through the classifieds in Chicago from a preacher. The case is all ratty and torn and singed around the edges.
Apparently, in the days before he turned to fire and brimstone, he used to play the Arp and would set it on fire at every show. It's a fine line, I tell ya!
Do you guys know we just passed thru a BLACK HOLE in space? |

Well, at least you don't have to go for the Sinnead look. Maybe you can start a new look altogether.
When you said, "I smelled singing" I read that like vocals singing, and was like, "Huh? What does singing smell like?"

One for Malax: The difference between me and you is that I'm not on fire. Heh heh. Mel, you musta felt stupid...
The first time I tried smoking I passed the cigarette back to my friend and spilled this big pile of ash on another friends lap. He shrieked a little, but nothing too exciting.
