Seventy things
Feb. 5th, 2006 07:45 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
seandcSo this weekend I've been recovering from a pinched nerve in my back - it just went as I was rifling through a box. But eh, it's getting better, before it was giving me a limp, but now there's just a slight delay in standing up or bending over. Still, it really made me realise just how much I bounce up and down from my chair every day. And how useful icepaks are.
And I've run out of orange juice again...
Not too much else happening right now. Am flat-chat doing boxes and boxes of files (hence why I was going through that one to remove any metal - it's a better haul than ordering from the stationer's!), the corellas are making a comeback, and I'll remain pretty chuffed if they continue doing Rachel-centric stories in Uncanny X-Men... *shrugs*. Like I said, not much happening.

That's a pretty good fear to have, if the aliens ever decide to invade. :D
18. HOW MANY LICKS DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO THE CENTER OF A TOOTSIE POP?
I don't know, we don't have those down here. Wouldn't it be easier just to bite?
From what I understand, if you bite them you can shatter teeth. I don't eat candy, so I don't know if that's true or not.
69. DO YOU SHOP AT AMERICAN EAGLE?
Never heard of them...
I don't think they're around here either. Even if they are probably only located in the U.S.

Hey! What about Canada?
Okay, in my case it's artificial intelligence...
32. WHERE DOES THE OTHER SOCK END UP?
In a pile of all its ancestors with similar holes at sole and ankle.
Yup. I have one of those piles too.
39. DO YOU LIKE TO BE KISSED?
I... um... I might need a bit of a reminder... ;) *thump thud thunk* OW! Kidding, kidding... (medic...)
Was that a request? *evil grin*

Date: 2006-02-06 03:00 am (UTC)We have them here in Canada, too. At least, in Toronto. I don't know about the rest of Canada. (I don't shop there, though. If I'm absolutely forced to go into a shop like that, I go to Gap.)
no subject
Date: 2006-02-09 01:27 pm (UTC)Ok, Canada too :lol:
And artificial intelligence means the perfect excuse to be dumb is but another colour away... *thinks* and the aforementioned Kiwis keep this option open too.
Was that a request? *evil grin*
:lol:
For a medic - you saw what happens with the tempting LJ (again) [Prof. Frink voice] with the shoving and the throwing and the ducking away and the hurt me... mm-heyven!

Okay, now you're frightening me. I'll have that voice in my head for the next little while whenever I read one of your posts. :P
