Right now I wish I could skip my group meeting tonight and visit Jean instead. We're planning for a big, scary presentation tomorrow that'll be the educational equivalent of standing in front of a firing squad.

*feels like she needs to go to the bathroom just thinking about it*

That's kind, Chuck! Saxy was referring to her and her group, though, not to her and me.

Right now I'm feeling fortunate that I'm not actually involved with Saxy's presentation, though it would be cool if she could come visit.

Remember, Saxypants! It might feel like a firing squad, but you're not going to die! A few years from now it'll be a trivial memory.

Awe, thank you Chuck! And BTW--welcome back! It's good to see you around again. (Oops, the "we're" is my fault. You were correct in thinking it was referring to Jean because that was the last noun mentioned in the previous sentence. But it's actually my group at school.)

Jean, you're totally right. No one is going to die, and I should remember that the only opinion that matters to me is my professor's. And although he can be intimidating and scary at times, his bark is worse than his bite. He's actually a really nice and forgiving guy grade-wise. I'm still a little nervous, though!

Right now I'm trying to get work done, but being less than fantastically productive.

About 50% of my brain is otherwise engaged trying to remember the dances my folk dance ensemble is supposed to be leading/teaching at a downtown pub tonight. We've only done each dance a time or two, but they're not super-complicated, so I'm really hoping my kinetic memory is going to kick in. Wink

I think it's going to be fun, assuming I don't make a total fool of myself. Well, maybe even then. Smile

I just hope people 1.) come, and 2.) actually dance. This can sometimes be a problem on pub nights, so I hope people will come through for us. If not, I suppose "leading" will become "have fun dancing all by ourselves while people stare awkwardly." Good times! Very Happy

Right now I was just "wandering" around here and I'm amused as always..lol... Wink

Right now I didn't find a better place for the post I'd like to drop and
so I'll do it right here right now... Very Happy

Hello, my Sweethearts, (hope it’s ok to call you like that lol / comes from within the heart) Smile

I’ve already apologized within a PM to Marten, that I didn’t talk to you all, yet.
In December of 2006 I found new friends in UU and went to their forum since then…
Now, that my life has totally changed, I decided to leave the cavern and the forums
as well and to do different things and jobs on the surface…
I think this will be good for some time. Maybe one day I’ll come back and I hope and
I’ll go on praying very much that our wonderful MOUL will firmly establish in the world
and among the other MMOs… Razz

I’ve always wanted to post something but until last week everything wasn’t so very
clear and I really don’t like vague statements…

You are such a wonderful community here and so I thought you could very well
live without me…lol… that’s why I didn’t think too much of it, not to come here
for some time etc… Professor Askew declared this once at a wonderful THM as
a “hive” – “We are like a hive” he said…that was so sweet and true…*hug* Wink

(btw, I love the D’ni Network – great idea, congrats and wishing all the luck…)

Ok, my friends, what more is there to say… of course, we’ve had great and funny
times in UU and here in the forum, too, and I’d like to thank everybody of you for
her/his part on it…*even more hugs*

As I’ve told Marten already, I’ll translate one more Episode, means the 4th one,
but for the future ones I’d like to please you to find somebody else.
(In case, you really don’t find anyone, please send me a mail, of course.
In general feel free, anybody of you, to write to me, if anybody likes to… )

Also, I won’t be available as an “actor” anymore…lol…but I’m very sure there will
be enough people having a lot of fun to participate…

I wish all of you a wonderful, challenging and adventurous time in MOUL
full of fun and everything anybody of you might hope or expect of it…

Blessings, Love, Light and Peace to all of you

Jana Very Happy

edit: Saxy, I really love your sig Wink

Right now, I'm sorry to see Jana go and I hope she finds time to come see us again! Take very good care of yourself, Jana! Thanks for all your help with the translations.

Right now, I've just used up my quota of cheerful positive rah-rah, and I am in serious danger (ooh! as opposed to flippant or silly danger, LOL) of laying a fierce smack-down on the next person to cry foul over the closing Until Uru.

So right now, I'm going to stop checking the Uru Live forums... at least until tomorrow. Wink

Jana! I'm so glad you've returned even to tell us the (sad) news you'll be leaving for good. We were worried about you! I totally understand about surface obligations, though. I hope your new job is treating you well! Please come back and tell us how you're doing every once in a while. You're such a sweetheart and will be missed. Smile

Right now I'm double poasting.

Right now I have to get this off of my chest because I feel HORRIBLE about it.

So I was driving home tonight on a pitch-black road at 10:30 PM going about the speed limit, 35 MPH. About 20 feet ahead I saw something that looked like a plastic bag in the road. At about 15 feet... I'm sure you see where this is going... I realized it was a opossum as it was slowly turning in a circle to look at my oncoming headlights (although I think opossums are blind; don't quote me on that). At this point I was going too fast and the animal was too close for me to slam on my breaks and miss it, and even if I tried to swerve out of the way I'd still hit it because it was in the very center of the lane and approaching fast. The best I could do was move my car directly over it so that it could fit between the wheels without getting hit. Unfortunately my car is only about a foot (and a half?) off of the ground and I think I braised its back because I heard a light thump under my right foot at the center of the car. It wasn't a dramatic bump by any means but I'm sure it was enough to kill the poor thing. I don't think I've ever killed an animal before. I feel horrible, and now I'm looking over my back for Karma.

Right now I'm thinking today was a relatively eventful day.

Right now I'm relieved to find out I don't have a case study to read for tomorrow after all.

Right now I'm glad I have this forum that I can mind-dump onto.

Right now I hope all of my posting isn't driving some of you nuts, but right now you're the only people I can talk to because Kev is out of town and no one is around.
