I heard it because it was in the movie Tropic Thunder. Tom Cruise''s dance to it was...horrifying.

Oh yea!!!!!!!!! That''s when I last heard it actually.


He actually made me laugh in that movie. With his big, hairy arms, and chest.

well now i need to see that movie!!

I usually have a hard time keeping up with this thread, so I have a hard time posting on it... but THIS SCENE WAS HYSTERICAL. I am not a big Tom Cruise fan, at all... but this scene made me like him. And wow - yeah - that song is horrible.

 

[princessplease]

That sounds awesome elle!!!! So exciting!!!!!
502 people....it was a complete madhouse. They hosted it on the entire 2nd floor of the Hyatt in Philly, right on the water. It was beautiful for 502 people, lol!!!
All you tall girls....lucky lucky lucky!!!

I''m a mere 5''2".....
I have cheesy 80''s music in my head now
You make me promises, promises
you knew you''d never keep
(I think there''s a line in between, but I just added the proverbial hums in there, lol)

glad it''s all better

and one of the sororities on campus here has a dance to it and i was first introduced to it at my department''s formal, and later at the university''s formal. i haven''t figured out when to start it so it lines up just right at the big chorus section that starts slow and speeds up, but that''s the most fun part. it''s also a great workout and hard to do in heels, like the cotton eyed joe dance

80s music is the best!

 

[jcarlylew]

i agree (80''s)
I mean, common, there has to be a reason why everyone is covering them, right?

 

[Squirrly]

exactly! cavashawn came to campus and they covered I Want You to Want Me. it was wonderful

and the band stuck around after they were done singing autographs and shaking hands with anyone that came up to them

 

[Squirrly]

well it''s lunch time and i''m hungry but nothing particularly sounds good. maybe a quesidilla...

yum.. that sounds good!

i had salami and cheese and some lettuce. which means i will have to run for longer today! i thinking of doing the stair stepper machine. besides good for the bottom, any one know if it works the thighs as well?

 

[jcarlylew]

today is one of those days i am counting down the minutes. i wish i could forgo lunch to leave earlier

 

[Squirrly]

i''m sure it does depending on how much resistance you''re using. you can always play around with the angle of your feel and how bent your knees are and see where it hurts ^^

quesidilla was good but i probably shouldn''t have had the chips and salsa. i swear if you gave me a lifetime supply of tostitos and some hot salsa i''d be positively giddy for the rest of my earthly days.

today has been such a nice lazy day. maybe i can get some exercise in while waiting for graduation to start tonight. my lil sis gets her certificate and we''re getting there early so they can get seats and i can stand with the tickets and wait for the grandparents. whee

 

[star sparkle]

So I''m late to this party, but I''m 5''4" and would love to lose 10 pounds. If I could do that, I''d be thrilled.

BF is 6''1," which I absolutely LOVE! All of my previous BF''s and ex-FI have been on the short side (like, I was taller than them when I wore my cute heels), and I''m just so positively tickled that I can wear my 4" heels and BF is STILL a lot taller than me! He''s about 200 pounds, which I think is absolutely perfect for him, but he thinks he needs to lose 5-10 more pounds. Silly boy.

 

[Squirrly]

boys are silly, but they wouldn''t be near as entertaining if they weren''t!

 

[Squirrly]

it got stickied!!!!!
or maybe i''m just slow in noticing but i swear this wasn''t stickied earlier today

Ok I have to admit, I TOTALLY didn''t recognize Tom Cruise in the movie. BF had to point it out to me. I''m not a big fan of him since he went off on his anti-depressants thing and the couch-jumping incident, but he was hilarious in TT.

Oopsies double post

I would say good, but i feel like i am going to pass out. I did the stair stepper, and i pretty sure there is no devil, only the stair stepper.

So yeah, good morning everyone! Did everyone get a good night sleep?? Certainly not me...

 

[Lauren8211]

Whoa... almost didn''t find you guys stickied all the way up here!

Good morning!

 

[jcarlylew]

me too! go figure


i am soo tired today. i really could just put my head down on my desk....


ZzzzZZZzzzz

 

[Lauren8211]

So I found out what the private number was that called me twice in a row on Friday. They called again yesterday, and I still didn''t answer. This time they left a voicemail.

It was my doctor with my blood test results. Now I think something is wrong, because they never call if things are OK. Especially multiple times.

She said she was out of the office tomorrow but would try to get ahold of me. It sucks I can''t just call her right back, now I might have to wait until Wednesday. Blah!

I''m in a pissy mood this morning too. I think my new BC is making me crazy. I started bawling last night while FF and I were making dinner because a couple walked by with a puppy. I said "I want a puppy!" and burst into tears.

Srsly?

oh my! well i hear ya on feeling bat crazy. i went off on e yesterday 2 times in under 2 hours. although it is that time of the month, and E argues like a jackoff. so usually i dont bother unless its uber important. however, i won the argument! (by the way, it was about prenups. again, i hate male talk radio).


eta - i wouldn't worry to much about the blood test. they never left me voicemails of the results, but would call saying that have them, even when the only thing wrong was my vitD count.

Hahaha, what was the argument about? The pre-nup thing is such a ... tricky area.

Usually in my experience if everything is "OK" then they just don''t contact you. They just tested hormone/metabolism levels in me. Although it would be a relief if something was off because then I would have a reason for feeling the way that I do.

 

[jcarlylew]

okay, so i wrote out the whole night, and while i feel better for doing so, i also realized that i was being a crabby pants.

long story short, we suck at arguing, E can be a jerkface and not listen, and i automatically assume he's doing it on purpose.<-- yeah, we WILL be going to some sort of counciling in the future.

eta - prenups are tricky and it honestly is a "to each their own" situation. although E tried to give this huge visual on why it was a good thing and forgot he's not allowed to use the devil as a bad reference around me, becuase i always win that visual conversation.
