Did I Mention??

[ILUVSARA]

Did I mention how much i admire Sara? And how she will be my girl one day :p

[NCFreak]

Yeah, ya did. And, no, she won't.

Again, jus' sayin'.

Really, not tryin' to be harsh. Just bringin' a fellow Sara fanatic back to reality. :)

[OrnotMajestic]

Reality? What's reality? :D ;)

[mandofocus]

It's...like...selling a house.
lol :p

PJ :cool:

[ILUVSARA]

:( EASYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! CANT AGUY DREAM!!!! i guess all of oyu live in this reality we call the internet huh??!!??

[NCFreak]

*Combining your response in the other thread*

Yeah, we understand where you're comin' from. I figured (hoped) you were jus' playin'. It's all good.

Besides, there's 3 other members (no introductions necessary) that were here before you, so get in line, pal. [lolol] ;) ;)

[OrnotMajestic]

Hands ILUVSARA a number....

:D

[mandofocus]

Number 4,628,379.15

lol :p
I think I have...Yep...number 7. Lucky number 7.

PJ :cool:

[OrnotMajestic]

*glances at his own number*
Shoot, is that a 6 or a 9?? They need to put the line under it so I can be sure....I'll just say it's #6!! WHOO HOO!! :D

[NCFreak]

[think har Do the #'s go that high??? I was only thinkin' of 3 members. Also, I was basing our #'s on join date:

Me - 5/24/02
Goose - 8/14/02
Ornot - 9/10/02

Maybe I'm just getting too technical when I should really just roll with the joke. [splat]

[OrnotMajestic]

Bah!! Join date has nothing to do with it......the only reason that I've never met her personally, is that I'm trying to give y'all a decent chance before I move in....[evil eye]

*phone rings*
hello? Who's this? Reality? WHAT? Oh.... [bang]

:D

[mandofocus]

Oh well if you want to play that game Bryan...
I would beat you out.

Well it was....wait...I can't say.....By saying so I break my immunity contract.
God thinking back here a couple posts...I should have said what number I have. You live in Corvallis. That's too close for comfort.
lmao.

PJ :cool:

[Goose_17]

hey, i kinda have the impression...we are all at the back back of the line..but in front of many too. if you count who was here first. then again...the line may be designed by some other method...height? oh no..i'm short...well i can see her and Sean eye level so....*whew*. Here is how I see it. I kinda of equate knowing her personally as to me being half as good as Chris is on mando. Won't happen. Only problem is...with practice, I can get better at the mandolin...sadly it doesn't work that way w/the other one..lol. since i'm the cynical one here, i won't go off into our insane unrealistic dreams ..well maybe she'll just appear at my front door.... yeah, what would she be doing? selling girl scout cookies or her things she has knitted? (i'd buy both of course...make sure she was the highest seller in her troop..hehe). I honestly think, they might avoid getting to know us eccentric fans. has anyone else noticed or is it just me that she sorta ducks the personal attn about looks, etc? i mean, i can understand being embarrassed and not responding etc...i just worry some she doesn't like it at all. well of course, she doesn't play fiddle and sing to look good huh...it just happens naturally...so i wonder...is she the type that despies most forms not music related compliments period or is just a conditioning of being Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek? I think there are ppl here on this board who could answer that but won't..and understandably...I wouldn't either. anywho...enough rambling. yeah dude..welcome and all..but..applications are down the hall to the left pass the elevator to the pool on the roof. i can sell you a pass to that pool too if you want?

goose

[GermyNCfan]

... I'm still trying to find the elevator down the hall, let alone the pool on the roof, for which I already bought a pass for an embarrassingly high amount of money ... if only finding the pool was as easy as finding someone who sells the pass! The pool MUST be around here somewhere, I'm even wearing my boardshorts already to speed things along (Hey, I'm in FL, it's still warm nowadays)... ::keeps searching frantically, and ignores the bemused faces of the others in the halls::

[mandofocus]

Ha Ha! Sucks not to have connections to getting free lifetime passes like Goose and I have huh? :p
Geez what's so hard about finding the rooftop pool? It's right there.
Get in the elevator press floor 74. Go out of the elevator, turn right, go thru the gate, take the first door on the right, go down to the end of the hall turn left , go down to the first hall on the right, turn right down the next hallway and left at the next one down there, take the 2nd door on the right, down to the end of the hall turn left, go out the glass door on the left (the right glass door lead to the gym), follow the hallway around the indoor spa area, out the double doors to the outside deck area and thru the gate strait ahead and then take the gate on the right and you're right there.
What's so hard about that?
*cough*newbies*cough*
sorry something in my throat.
lol

(Reads note on roof by the pool...)

***Pool Closed For the Winter***

....

Maybe we should go to the indoor pool on the 75th floor?

And, guys.... are girls allowed? Cause If not, then I'm not allowed, and me will be sad....:(

:D

[desert rose]

I mean the 73rd floor....am I allowed? (gives everyone a puppy face....) please:D

[mandofocus]

Yeah I guess we can allow you in. I'll tell secruity that you have clearance. Make sure you have a pool pass though!

WHOOO!!!! :D

(changes into swimsuit 2-piece)

....everyone ready?

[desert rose]

...I'm going to the snack machines to grab a vanilla coke first. sorta helps me swim.

.....(returns) Alright....hey? is anyone ready at all? are all of yuns gonna make me swim by myself....[sosad] :D

[Ames]

LOL. Vanilla Coke helps you swim? Actually I think you could be on to something. Because at the show before last (that I went to) somebody yelled out I Love You Sara or something and she just kinda rolled her eyes and Chris teased her about all her marriage proposals and responded back to the guy in a kinda cynical way. I could definitely see them getting tired of you're so cute being said to them a lot because what in the world do you say in return? Thanks you're hot too? I could be wrong, but I could see it possibly making someone uncomfortable, especially people as unpretencious as they are.

[Goose_17]

...goes to look up word *unpretencious*....yeah i understand w/fans of course..and how do you respond to that..but i wonder if they are like that even w/like normal ppl..i mean..before they were famous...b/c there are some girls who totally don't like compliments like that seeing that physical is so minor and completely intellectuals, etc...(not that being intellectual is bad..but some might catch my drift). just wondering....

goose

[Ames]

Me personally it makes me uncomfortable when a guy is like you're cute or whatever. It just makes me nervous lol. But that's just me. Sara is very beautiful so she's probably been told that her whole life. I think it would probably be more in relation to a fan coming up and saying something like that. It could make you think people only come to your show to try and hook up with you.

[missem]

Are the Sean Apps available at the same location? And if we are going by height, I might as well start picking a ring. He is the perfect height for me. Just tall enough that we would be eye level with me in heels. Perfect. I'll take a vanilla coke while you are at it. I pay you back later. And being Sean's wife...I don't have to purchase a pool pass.

As for the compliments, some girls just don't know how to handle them. As for Nickel Creek...I would find it really annoying if everytime I was performing my looks got in the way of my talent. You are born with your looks, you have to work at playing an instrument. Which would you rather be recognized for?

[mandofocus]

Hey what is this?
I don't get a Vanilla Coke for clearing you to come in? Granted my best friend Brent works the pollside snake bar so I can get them free, but what's the deal?
No I'm afraid the Sean apps are in the safe-room behind the front desk. On;y a manager can get in the safe and it's the weekend so there are none on duty until Monday at 8am. :p
And what's this about Sean's wife? lol. I don't ever remember hearing anything about Sean being married. I haven't seen him with a ring on (see pic below).
Now back to pool. Anyone seen the 7 ball? We can't have a good game of 9-ball without the 7 (6ball is too short of a game).

PJ :cool:

[desert rose]

How about I get everyone a soda of their choice? I'll be at the snack and soda machines.

(Reading the snack titles)

Let's see....the first snack machine has: butterfingers, crunch, milky ways, bagged popcorn, bagged cookies, lots of gums, granola bars, chex mix in 3 different flavors, gardetto's, and 3 musketteers bar.

(moves to the second one)
This one loks like it has little debbie cakes, hot fries, barbecue chips, regular chips, sour cream and onion chips, jalepeno chips, kettle cooked chips, and kettle corn.

everything's 50 cents. (inserts $1 and gets kettle corn and jalepeno chips.)

Alright......the sodee machines carry coke and pepsi products in 12oz and 20oz bottles. and the other sodee machine carries...sobe, gatorade, and amp.

all sodas are 50 cents. (inserts $2 and get's 4 vanilla cokes for everyone)

....okay, who wants what and I'll pay for it. :D

[asillittle]

Hey can I come? I'll pitch in for food! I promise I dont wanna marry anyone. By the way guys, your queen just emailed me. Super koolness. And do we have to wear bathing suits, or can i just bring some shorts? Hey is there a hot tub? Hey, I'll make cookies!! Horray, anyone want one? I've got chocolate chip and macadamia nut. Help yourself. Hey, time for the diving contest! Come on guys!....


I feel so silly...but in a good way
[run]

[asillittle]

Too many Heys! like I've had too many mocha's geez.

[desert rose]

Sure you can come. Just take the elevator up to the 73rd floor, and get Mandofocus to clear you a pass to get in.

(Yes, there is a spa)

(No, you don't have to wear a swimsuit)

(Yes, the chicken comes before the egg)

[mandofocus]

And we're still missing the 7-ball.

I haven't been to this floor before... Why is there someone playing pool in a two-piece... must.. cover.. eyes... I don't have a pass yet, but I stumbled onto this floor, and I was wondering if I could join in the fun...

[mandofocus]

I'm sorry on these premesis, a pool pass is requred by law (unless otherwise authorized or with a surgeon general's official warning that lack of real fun if hazardous to your health).

PJ:cool:

[asillittle]

Hey can I have a pool pass mandofocus? Pwease?
I've got cookies....and a Walt Whitman poem!

1) for those of us who are not famous

i'm resolved not to allow weirdness in my interactions. so when a guy compliments that which is physical (or anything else for that matter), i just say, thank you. all together, ladies, thaaaaank yoooou. if he gets stalkeresque or stares too much, i wear burlap. [shock] if he's in any way a potential regular of my acquaintences, i tell him to stop it.

yeah, objectification is annoying; but you can be objectified (or objectify another) based on anything: brains, talent or physique. i'm sure we've all done it to someone else--which is unfortunate. i guess we just try to be more conscious and change. [think]

2) the famous

the dear members of nickel creek. yes, they are attractive people and are extraordinarily talented. but i doubt they were lauded so emphatically for their physical appeal before major success. now, please don't flame me. [splat] i'm not saying anything to discredit their physical attractiveness and especially not regarding the whole package they each seem to be.

but they don't seem very showy so i can't imagine people following them around whistling when they were teenagers perusing music and book stores. so maybe it seems fair-weathery. i guess it'd also be different if you heard it constantly. imagine it: you are soooo hot! seems kinda icky.

but they're very graceful. i admire the way they've discretely tried to discourage that focus and in many ways to preserve a little dignity :) i think that's what it comes down to when i try to imagine myself in their shoes. ye olde dignity.

as a note of encouragement: if we looked at each other as appreciatively as we do sara, sean and chris, we might see more beauty around us even now.

thaaaaaank yooooou, :cool:

Hey! It's not a 2 piece! It's a...uh...umm...2 halves of 1 swimsuit! :D ...And I'm not playing pool, I'm going to the pool! I gotta get my excersize! (After I drink my vanilla coke, of course!!!)otherwise, I'll get FAT. Then I'll be sosad....:D

Besides, I don't bite! (most of the time...):D

I'm just having fun!

(Heads off to the indoor pool entrance)
Security: Yes, you may enter.

Watch out for the Bellhop. I hear he's been seen hanging aroung the indoor pool area. He has a nasty case of grabass. lol.
If you see him please alert secruity to his whereabouts. Nobody acctually knows if he works here, he may just have one of their uniforms so that he can wander into employ only areas.

PJ :cool:

[desert rose]

I'll keep an eye out for grabass boy. [lloll] [lolol]

J. Marie, let me first state that I love the way you explain your point of view so well. Can I be almost just like you when I grow up? :)

In my opinion, going up to someone and telling them they are hot (which is just about the most objectifying thing you can say) is just... in most cases inappropriate. Sure, telling someone you know or are hitting on in a normal situation it might be ok to say something like You're pretty/cute/beautiful, but yelling it out at a concert only proves to get on other audience members nerves, embarrass a band member (sometimes), and make yourself look stupid. And in conversation with Sara, for example, I just can't imagine that it would make her feel completely comfortable around you. I mean, if I'm ever told that I'm cute it makes me very uncomfortable even if I've known the person my whole life because I don't like for the focus to be on me or what I look like physically. If someone is going to compliment me on anything, I'd rather it be for my talents.

I personally try not compliment on physical things... it just makes me feel like the person will think I'm only interested in what they have to say because I think they are attractive.

Now that that's done...

*invites herself to the party with her nice pass*

I brought some finger sandwiches...
