hey Jen...enough talking about Brad and Angie. Really enough. Go make a movie that people want to see.... -- (link) - Remlik Dec 11, 14:12 8
- Eh - considering the fact the two of them have been publicly discussing how they fell in love on the movie set while he was still married - I think - kelly Dec 11, 14:20 5
  - yeah but in every article or newsposting I see of her that's all she talks about.... - Remlik Dec 11, 14:22 4

Mop...did you ever find that mickey mouse watch? Is that the watch you were talking about yesterday/earlier? -- nm - oblique Dec 11, 14:07 5
- Sadly, that's the watch, yes. -- nm - Mop Dec 11, 14:08 4

Now, the real question is when you tap your desk, fidget, etc., do you do it in rhythm, keeping a beat, or just randomly? - znufrii Dec 11, 14:02 15
- uh, I 'think' I'm doing a rythym but, like folks singing in the shower is just a dull monotone drone, I'm sure listeners think its random -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 11, 15:37
- I don't really fidget much. I just get very focused and intense. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 11, 14:23

- Keeping a beat. I'm always tapping to a song playing in my head. -- nm - Subversive Dec 11, 14:03
- yes. I try to have music around me always. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 11, 14:03
- err, definitely keeping a beat, it should say in my IM -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 14:03 1
  - (although I do like to syncopate) -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 14:03
Diva - if they do stray far from tradition, I'm sure you will be able to hear me screaming from your place. :) -- nm - kelly Dec 11, 14:00 2
- "Hark - what is that sound from the South?" "It's as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced." - Diva Dec 11, 14:06 1
  - *laughing* -- nm - kelly Dec 11, 14:06

- Left, 100%. Like, in every way. - Subversive Dec 11, 14:04
- Right for most things. -- nm - krusty Dec 11, 14:03
- Right, but I'm pretty dextrous with my left hand as well (likely due to video games and keyboarding) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 11, 14:02 2
  - you realize that "dextrous" means "right." :) -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 14:04 1
    - You're so sinister. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 11, 14:06
