EXACTLY! Oh man, at the end of the day, when they asked who was carpooling home, I raised my hand in the most excited fashion. And then I always wondered why I wasn't picked to ride in the special roadworthy pool. I felt snubbed.

Somewhat related to that... when I was in elementary school the "walkers" were dismissed from class five minutes early. I loved school but this was the last class of the day - it was time to go HOME and I was so jealous of them. I hated that I "had" to ride the bus. nevermind that i lived five miles from the school I wanted to be a "walker."

I don't think we had that option. I could have walked home, I guess. Not sure it would have been worth it, what with the hills and my lazybones.

Think of the stories you could tell the whippersnappers if you'd walked home! Uphill both ways and all that jazz.

I'd love to tell them what life was like before the internet, but honestly, at this point, I'm a little bit foggy on that myself.
I also wanted to add that I am enjoying your outfit. Such industrial elegance. Or at least that's how I seem to be interpreting it.

The bit about life before the internet made me laugh
...and then think. And then weep.

Not really.

Still quite frankly, I can not recall life prior to the 'net.
I do remember not having it. Our neighbors got that there fancy enter-net before we did
and I remember being amazed by the whole thing when the neighbor kid showed me how to "go online"

Thank you for the compliment. *blush*
I like your avvie as well. She reminds me of Aladdin's "Genie" of the lamp.

I do remember spending time in the library for reports. I think I became aware of the internet at around fifth grade. And back then, it wasn't anything to right home about.

Yeah, I'm going for a genie look. I don't feel it's quite finished, but I don't know what else to do with it, exactly.

I can't help you there, I haven't a clue about what sort of items are out there. I just know there's a lot. Haha.

I remember thinking the internet was magical. Just amazing.
We still had MSDOS in most of our classrooms until oh, around fifth or sixth grade. It was a really big deal when we got windows.

I had hoped to find some turkish slippers, but they don't have any. And if it turns out I do want a hairpiece*, I haven't found one that seems right for it.

Was it the Easter Bunny? The Beast of Caerbannog?

*not... not like a toupee. Like, an ornament.

Non-splattered is generally the best variety of everything.
I love wild creatures. Also wilde creatures.

@HIM the non-splattered is.. whole and hopping I take it? Or do you mean the pattern on the fur?

Could be. I was actually just referring to the chap in the picture, Mr. Oscar Wilde. Incidentally, that's one of the most flattering pictures I've ever seen of Oscie, and it quickly found a home on my hard drive. I wonder how it is that I'd never come across it before.

Ah sorry. I'm on the work computer and most pictures people post are just red X's to me. I'll have to check this thread when I get back home so I can see the image in question.

Let's hope it stayed non-splattered then, given it's dangerous surroundings.

No, it's okay. -sigh- I'm not sure how often it's shown over here, anyway. I wonder how it would turn out. They're still making that additional series of Red Dwarf for Dave. That's another one of those iffy things.
here's a tiny bit more on it, plus some unexpected Who stuff:
Mr. Bean retires at 21, etc. | Tellyspotting
doctor whom, heh.

I also found this, and found it to be enjoyable:

I miss fall now... Florida just has blistering hot, rainy and hot and slightly chilly. :(

Also, isn't there some sort of elfin slippers that have the toes turn up?
