Couch to 5k in 9 Weeks - Wish me luck!

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 9 Dec 08

It's been a long time Mylot, but I'm back with a vengeance. (At least for the next month.) So, in case anyone is curious I was off of this site for a while finishing my Associates Degree, now I'm headed to a four-year college to...

Need to make Payout?

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 13 May 08

Have any of you ever really felt like you -needed- to make payout? I am for the first time ever. I actually have something I'd like to spend the funds on, and the fact that I'm a little shy of 75 cents away is absolutely...

Cosmetics

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 8 May 08

I'm just curious as to what you guys think. (Well, I guess not guys so much as ladies. :P) I've always been a bit of a 'tom boy', and while I'm all about dressing up/looking good now that I'm older, I can't really get cosmetics...

What Not To Wear... When You're Answering the Phone...?!

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 7 May 08

So, I work in a call center. We answer phones. We dispatch calls. We put people through to voicemail. The job is strictly over the phone. On occasion (once in a blue moon.) A customer will come in to pay a bill, or dispute a...

Applications?

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 24 Apr 08

So, what are your thoughts on Myspace's new application abilities? I haven't added any yet myself, and I don't believe that I will be in the future. I tend to shy away from adding apps on Facebook, because I know [from bad...

Sunburns. Ow. ;.;

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 10 Apr 08

I've been lucky, I've never gotten a sunburn [that I remember] until today. It's really bizarre because I was only out for a little bit, working on some homework [because it was too nice a day to be inside at a desk] and when I...

San Franciso, Open Your Golden Gates...

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 10 Apr 08

So this summer I might be able to spend a week in San Francisco, CA with some friends. I've never been, and I'm not sure if the people doing most of the planning have an itinerary set specifically day by day, or if we'll just try...

Voltaire

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 2 Apr 08

Does anyone here listen to music by Voltaire? I love the use of violins, cellos, the energetic drums, and of course his voice and lyrics are absolutely amazing. I'm intending to go see him this May when he's rounding out his...

Is it Worth Saving?

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 27 Mar 08

Probably not. That won't stop me from trying. I'm just curious if anyone has any insight into what's wrong, specifically. There's a super-old desktop at the call center I work at that's running an OS in the range of Windows 98....

Do you have any suggestions or kind words?

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 26 Mar 08

My Mother has Multiple Sclerosis and is really negative. I inherit that from her, and find it hard to give her any comfort or solace when she's really negative about having the illness because most of the time I mostly agree with...

Glasses?

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 26 Mar 08

So I went to the optometrist today and learned that the reason why I've been getting headaches when I'm in bright light is in fact not because I'm turning into a vampire. [a running joke I had with a few friends] It was discovered...

Music or Lyrics?

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 19 Mar 08

Which is more important to you when you're listening to a band or new song? I'm more of a lyrics fan. Why? Well, I usually like to sing along to songs in the car, and I don't like the thought of singing something that doesn't make...

The Flu Strikes Again... Or Does it?

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 17 Mar 08

I've never called in sick to work unless I was legitimately sick. I live 30 minutes from my job in the middle of nowhere [basically, though I know it isn't the longest of commutes, I have an hour trip to classes] and I have never...

Working Hard for Nothing

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 11 Mar 08

So have you ever worked really hard for something, only to have it blow up in your face? Recently I spent hours studying (intently, beyond regular material review) for my history midterm, I spread it out over the course of a week...

Is HD necessary?

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 21 Feb 08

I'm just curious what you guys think. I see all these HD tvs and Blu Ray commercials, but is it really necessary? I mean, I don't really watch tv, just movies, so maybe I'm not the ideal target market, anyway... but I can't help...

How would you react if...

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 19 Feb 08

I have a friend in South Carolina that has more or less become more of a pen pal than the confidant that she used to be. (We were really close, but now the reality that she's a few hundred miles away makes it difficult to really...

What inspired your user name?

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 14 Feb 08

I'm always curious when I join sites as to why people have titled themselves the way they do. I know that my screen names on sites I'm on are numerous and diverse, but all have little bits of me in them. This one, for example,...

Gauging?

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 13 Feb 08

I did a few searches on Mylot and didn't see any results on the subject. Does anyone here gauge their piercings? (Gauging = stretching them, if you aren't familiar with the term. Google 'gauged ear' and you should get a few images...

Phone Features - Must Haves, Unnecessaries, & Beyond...

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 5 Feb 08

It seems like every day more and more options are added to what was once the general, practical 'mobile phone.' Now not only can you make calls, you can send texts, pages, e-mail, pictures, play music, navigate around town and......
