Ever since I joined [livejournal.com profile] rq_version2, I have to go back as far as 200 entries in order to read my Friends' entries. So many people asking random questions. That IS the point, and why I like the community, but it's a touch bit irritating when tons of people reply with "Huh?" "Wha?" or "I dunno." -.-;

I was wondering what you call something that retracts into itself-- you know, like an antenna? Or what do you call the bottom bit that the top bits slide into? Or the indentation made in the (usually metal) material to serve this purpose? Anyone know? If not, I'm sticking with "retractable" object.

David actually called me. I'm kinda shocked. We actually talked on the phone for a good half hour (34 minutes, but who's counting?) about random stuff-- the city, dogs, computers, Yahoo! email, AOL is annoying... X_X How strange. I felt pretty awkward, but talking on the phone is communication, and communication is something I need to work at. ^^; T'will be my major after all, eh?

Anyone here know PHP? My fanlisting is having errors, and I have no idea why. I set everything up according to the instructions, took a horrendously long time making a painstakingly precise layout, and I even got it to work -- but I deleted one entry from my PHPmyAdmin panel, since the entry was a test (and an incorrect one, at that) -- and now the thing won't work! I took the issue to the PHP-Princess Boards, but so far no one's replied with any solid answer. Anyone with experience in this field, please, please, please do me a favor and contact me; I desperately need to get the FL online.

Ah hah! Finally figured out MiRC for Selene_Scans. Yay to that. Thanks to nuri_inuki. More people randomness-- someone from [livejournal.com profile] rq_version2 might know me; he replied to my question saying "Please tell me your name isn't Meredith." o_O He's from New Jersey. I wonder if he knows me through Mike? But I don't know anyone from Jersey named Lloyd... @_O "Curiouser and curiouser."

I need to get Kingdom Hearts and FFX strategy guides. :P Darn forest, darn Al-Behd! Gaaah.

Yeaaah... I should work on WDKY8 and nap some more, and try to clean my room-- 'specially if Joanna didn't succeed in switching shifts with me tomorrow. Or taking my shift, as it were. I need another day off.

I believe the word you are looking for is "telescopic".

Ha. Merriam-Webster gives me a wonderful definition: having parts that telescope. So I think it's going for 'telescope' the verb.

Main Entry: telescope
Function: verb
1 : to become forced together lengthwise with one part entering another as the result of collision
2 : to slide or pass one within another like the cylindrical sections of a collapsible hand telescope

Now who's the geek?
