1. Don't eat the paint
2. Paint does not make a good skin moisturizer, despite the fact that it REALLY DOES SEEM as if it should seal in the moisture, and help prevent sunburn. But apparently not.
3. Couches are violently allergic to paint splatters
4. It's not okay to try to paint your pet, even if they would look fabulous in the shade of green you bought
5. Painting naked is only okay if you remember to lock the door before you start.

Just remember these five handy tips, and all will be well!

**Mari** · 04-14-2007, 10:23 PM

or better yet: get someone else to do the painting for you.
You can repay them with cake and coffee or something. Works for my grandmother. Spend my whole summer repainting her rooms >_<

Yeah I know, It was my first attempt, and I got impatient, but it was fun.

Nerdanel · 04-15-2007, 02:14 AM

It's good to be back. I missed this place.. A little.

Has there been any major changes around here?

***Tessar*** · 04-15-2007, 03:44 AM

I am such a pompous ass for even asking this, but if I'm able to make a brief recording of one of my new arias tomorrow, would anyone be interested in hearing it?

I have a friend who'd like to hear it, and...

Okay, I lied

. I totally just want to record myself tomorrow to see if I'm any better than I was a month and a half ago, and since one or two people have asked me in the past what my voice 'sounded' like, I thought I'd let my inner Diva fly free and offer to post a link to the clip

And not to mention: while lavender is a wonderful colour, it pays to have a washing facility on the premises. People give such strange looks to people crossing streets with lavender smears all over.

And pick something that doesn't need five layers, your sanity will be very grateful afterwards...

Sure, just as long as you never ask to return the favour.

I don't mind hearing it, I might ask you to join my chorus

Allthough you would have to commute quite a distance for that, but where there is a will there's a way right?

I hope it's in some format this stupid tin box feels like accepting.

PAY SOMEONE ELSE, IT'S WORTH IT!!!

really though, have at least one friend or some such individual to help. otherwise, it's tedious and boring...oh, and put on music...and make sure to have a roller (just to through in an actual painting tip, if you have a brush, hold it like a pen or pencil

)

***Tessar*** · 04-15-2007, 05:02 PM

Ouch. Never mind--not happening, at least not today. *wince*

My voice sounds pretty horrible today. I think the allergens are getting to me. Blech!

sisterandcousinandaunt · 04-15-2007, 05:06 PM

tease.

Grey_Wolf · 04-16-2007, 04:50 AM

I got the burning working!!! Yahoooo!

durinsbane2244 · 04-16-2007, 06:27 AM

as do i, but i'd imagine we're talking about different things, eh?

Grey_Wolf · 04-16-2007, 07:52 AM

I finally found a program with which I can burn playable cds - Now i can listen to all my favo 60s tunes (which was in computor-playable form only b4) and b4 that on a cassette tape.

**Mari** · 04-16-2007, 10:07 AM

Acalewia · 04-16-2007, 12:03 PM

Congrats, Doc!

*Tackles Bal*
See if I believe anything you say again!

Grey_Wolf · 04-16-2007, 12:18 PM

Thanks Acally!

**Nurvingiel** · 04-16-2007, 12:33 PM

I hope those allergies get better soon Tessar.

Hey GW, I learned a couple new Swedish words, which I really like, "cocosnus" and "pumpa". Aww.

That's 'coconut' and 'pumpkin' for the non-Swedes.
