So as to not be accused of "lurking"... here is my official "hi, i like you writing blah blah blah " *smile* split-heart - website of choice 2006-01-10 20:40:03

Couple of things, big timer: First off, my entry tonight has some portions revolving around eyeballs, so you must read it. Secondly, I was face to face with the SWAT team in a Milwaukee hotel room in the early 80's. Long story, but it was basically a case of mistaken identity -- there was a cop killer on the loose from Texas and someone spotted my dad in the hotel parking lot trying to open up our station wagon (Texas plates) with a coat hanger (because my stupid brother locked the keys in the car), and this person called the cops thinking it was a crime tip. My dad was down the hall doing laundry, and there was a knock on our hotel door, which was weird because it wasn't closed all the way. (Why didn't dad just push the door open with his foot?) I opened the door, in my 12 year-old pastel nightgown, and came face to face with the SWAT team brandishing guns and full body armor! My first thoughts were: 1) Absolute terror/confusion 2) When dad said don't jump on the hotel beds, HE MEANT IT. The SWAT team yelled "WHERE'S YOUR FATHER??" (they were probably as freaked out to see me as I was to see them). With a quibbling bottom lip, I pointed down the hallway to the laundry room. The mistaken identity was quickly realized, but I was interviewed by detectives and everything! Truly one of my life's most coolest/freakiest moments.

Okay, fine. I'm not lurking. At first, I didn't think it would help to tell you that I fight eyelid twitches as well. Mine are just a fun sidenote to being a diagnosed spaz. It keeps the locals away from me, though. Either that, or the fact that I talk audibly to myself. Mrs. Coble - website of choice 2006-01-10 21:10:57

Ok, I can get behind a De-Lurking drive. Hiya Smoog, love your diary! It's always good for a good giggle and a healthy dose of cynicism and sarcasm! Keep up the good work! **Resumes Lurking** Hexa-chan - website of choice 2006-01-11 09:52:00

Hi there, from yet another Lurker. *prostrates self, and promptly goes back to lurking* skibigsky - website of choice 2006-01-11 11:21:47

I have a friend who IMs me "SCOK" when I make her laugh. It stands for "Spat Coffee on Keyboard." golfwidow - website of choice 2006-01-11 18:42:32

Well, my friend got a twitch in her eye for two days. And i thought that was exciting! Apparently i was very very mistaken. I hope your twitch clears up soon, so life can continue on as normal! Rachael - website of choice 2006-01-12 02:03:20
