Random non-MCAT and only peripherally related to the MCAT thread - Part 8

[Arsenic]

Members do not see this ad.

how's your studying going guys? are you freaking out? burned out?

this is our stress relief thread....or our group anxiety thread, whatever..... 😀

for those of you that have no idea what the mcat random threads are about, check out molly's explanation:

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.

I am not particularly pale. I don't wear sunscreen and have only had one sunburn my whole life.

Of course, some of this could be because I don't go outside.

 

[pingouin]

I will back JLW on this one...she is pale. Sad part. We have the same skin tone.

MAC cosmetics makes 18 shades of foundation/powder. I wear the #2. #3 if I want to look tan.

 

[Nikki2002]

i'm out of paper plates :-/

 

[deleted106503]

Yes, that is the King of all vacuums. 😀

I have the vacuum type that has the hose with the suction part attached to that. I prefer the single-unit type like that Dyson so I don't have to pull around something with wheels. It gets annoying. 😡

The Florida sun has really messed up my skin, lol. My arms are so much darker than my upper arms. I guess all those years in K-12 sitting outside in the sun (schools required us to keep clothes on) left a lot of tan lines.

OMG Nik me too!!! I NEVER run out of paper plates!

I got home tonight and went to make my hot pocket and was just totally stunned. I had to make it on a real plate which got all hot.

 

[TypeA]

How pathetic are we... discussing vacuums and our degrees of pallor.

 

[beary]

beary that avatar is awesome!!

Thanks! Hopefully that is me this weekend. 😀

 

[deleted106503]

I don't really get sunburns, though. My English friend is pale and gets sunburns a lot. He turns red.

DUDE YOU ARE SO PALE. It probably has something to do with your fear of nudity...or like showing a toe.

I am excessively modest. 😳

Do you really think I'm pale though? This intrigues me. I have always thought I was on the darker skinned side of white folks.

 

[oxeye]

Yeah - so I have a pic where my paleness is definitely on the same level as Ana's paleness. LOLOLOL

 

[deleted106503]

My feet are really white, too. It gets tan right at my ankle and up (always wear shorts).

You have a fever. Your judgement is not reliable and your face is not normal color.

 

[oxeye]

hello friend!! would you like to do some late night stats? 😀

LOLOL, sure - just keep in mind I haven't used my degree for nearly 4 years. 😀

 

[TypeA]

you're cracking me up


Okay - I need to find my most pale pic and send it - who is interested? 😉

I would be, but the pics somehow never actually get to me.

 

[TypeA]

I am starting to think you believe you share skin tone with Halle Berry.

 

[beary]

I am starting to think you believe you share skin tone with Halle Berry.

Nope. I need to find a pic of somebody with my skin tone and post it.

 

[TypeA]

You already did...Snoopy.

 

[beary]

And hey - how do you explain the one sunburn my ENTIRE LIFE??!! I realize now all I do is play WoW, but I used to hike, go to national parks all the time, ride my bike for 40 miles a day, etc. No sunburns and no sunscreen. 😀

That one sunburn I did get was just because I was hiking on rocks all day in 100 degree Nebraska sun and the sun was reflecting off the rocks right back at us.

 

[R.P. McMurphy]

Gmail has a sweet new app for cell phones!

 

[deleted106503]

I can't wait for Casino Royale!!!

 

[beary]

You already did...Snoopy.

Good one.

OK. Seriously. Are you folks joking with me or am I really pale? I don't think being pale is a bad thing at all. I just don't think I am. Now I am confused. 😳

 

[oxeye]

You already did...Snoopy.

LMAO!!!

 

[pingouin]

Nice way to put me down easy. You could've just said "PMing to all except Will."

I think I have olive skin...

[oxeye]

Good one.

OK. Seriously. Are you folks joking with me or am I really pale? I don't think being pale is a bad thing at all. I just don't think I am. Now I am confused. 😳

you look normal to me, though I've only seen pics. I have to defer to those who have met you in person.

 

[deleted106503]

oh for god's sake. do you want the pic?

Let me find a pic of me.

 

[TypeA]

Good one.

Ok, maybe you are not as pale as I have let on...but you are not dark.

 

[beary]

Ok, maybe you are not as pale as I have let on...but you are not dark.

Agreed. 🙂 My brother has darker skin than I do. Little Olivia is so fair skinned! I am very amused at myself that I care if I am pale or not.
