When I was six I did a drawing combining the Santa Fe Superchief with a tri-wing, thereby designing the space shuttle-have I received any residuals? Hell NO! :x

I created a comic strip back in 5th grade, and started making them again in high school. They were called the Scavenger Family.

I was a weird kid.


I miss Emotional Leper.

I also miss Big Chief tablets.

I think thinly sliced ham, American cheese, a brownie, nacho cheese Doritoes (all laid out on a plate) and tall glass of diet coke with a lot of ice is the perfect meal on a summer day.


I also designed the head for the Wizard in my 5th grade Wizard of Oz play. It was based/copied from those long headed aliens seen at the ending credits for Star Trek the original series.


I have to put my left foot sock on first.
If for some reason I put my right foot sock on first I almost fall down trying to do it.
(most people, without even knowing, always put their socks and shoes on the same foot first for most of their lives)

When I clasp my hands together, the left thumb is on top. I am currently training my right thumb to be on top instead.

Hmm. It feels weird to clasp my hands the other way. Same deal with trying to cross my arms the opposite way -- requires too much thought.

That's why I have to train myself to do it instead of just doing it. I've been practicing for a few months now and it's almost--but not quite--natural.

I need at least a second person to txt with.
Fist totally justifies the $20/month I pay for unlimited txting, but more buds would be welcome.

Some of you may be pleased to know that international txting is soon to be part of the normal contract plans etc (or so I have been told)

I get international txt and call time added on to mine for next to nothing which is great as I txt abroad often.

I cannot read text messages. The abbreviations make no sense to me.

20 was the highest, come to think of it.

Usually around ten bucks.

Auleliel - I tend not to abbreviate actually- txt speak annoys me!

drew - I do hope you use predictive txt for that though? Without it I would probably message less!

I was just listing that as a little known fact about me. I also cannot understand many of the abbreviations used here on the Watch.

Actually a lot of my txts are work related.

"pu 4 me?"

Translation:
"pardon me, fellow driver, I'm running a little behind schudual right now, and was wondering If you'd be kind enough to get a pick-up for me?"

Then I'll get a

"ok. where?"

To which I'd txt the address.

When I do chat; i usually use full words though
