Hmm...I suspect it's an acronym.  Something like, "Sensual, Not Upleasant

perhaps, "Start Nuzzling, Until Getting Slapped"...

Any other ideas?

I have a question to ask all of you:

My mom is having a baby in @ 2 weeks (a definite oops kid: my little sister
and my stepsister are both sixteen), and in my family we have the tradition
of getting something for each sibling.  Normal.  Only problem is, I don't 
know what to get a 2-3 week old kid for Christmas.  

If anyone out there has any ideas (male/female/unisex; doesnt matter) for me
I would be most appreciative.  I need to keep it @ $20-$25 for budgetary 
reasons (Another stinking tuition increase a'comin') and I'm not really into
giving practical things, but that isn't a big deal, really.

Anyhow, must get home--- I feel a need for a chocofix really quick....

Well, it kind of struck a chord in me when I read it.  I met a very special
person on my way back home from the BeaChat back in June.  We actually
met on the plane, rather than in the airport, but it's still very

Well, lessee...

I spent most of today lying in bed.  I woke up a few minutes ago to come down
to the university computer lab, to work my five-hour shift as a lab assistant.
This entails baking my brains underneath the flourescent lights, punctuated
with occasional questions from those lab users kind enough to acknowledge my
existence.  When my shift is over at 23:00, I'll go home (I live alone) and
watch TV for a couple of hours.  Then I'll log into the school's computer
every fifteen minutes or so, hoping against hope for some electronic mail to
arrive in my box (it won't).   The last few weeks, I've been getting to sleep
around 5:00, and I don't see why tonight should be any different.

Tomorrow, I might do any number of things.  I could go on a joyride around the
state of Oregon.  Alone.  I could drive up to Portland and shop for books. 
Alone.  I could go to the laundromat and wash my clothes.  Alone.  I could do
what I've been thinking of doing for months--go to the airport, plunk down my
credit card, and buy a ticket to some faraway place where American Express
won't find me after I fail to pay the bill (I'm thinking of Togo--American
passport holders don't need a visa to go there, and the yellow fever
certificate which I got for my African travels of a few months ago [alone] is
still valid, so I shouldn't have any problems).  Needless to say, alone.

I'd say my social life is in a shambles, except that I haven't got one.

Apparently, it's not that I'm unattractive (although my pupils are dilated
from the 20 milligrams of Prozac I take daily, for my dysthymia), or
unhygenic, or unkind (I'm told that I'm a very compassionate man, and
sometimes I belive it), or unintelligent, or uninteresting (I do tend to be
pretty colorful, when I'm not feeling sorry for myself), or anything like
that.  What I am, apparently, is unapproachable.  Almost nobody realizes how
fuzzy and affectionate this kitty really is, beneath his sarcastic, mocking
exterior.  I have a total of two close friends.  In my nearly 20 years of
existence, I've never been anybody's best friend.  Nobody has ever sent me
flowers.

And I am alone.

<Martin, somewhat baffled, walks along the edge of the Vat O' Chocolate ... 
too close ... Kylie pauses in her tickle-attack of Tauther in the Vat, to 
reach over, grab Martin by the leg and pull him into the Vat!  She then 
stages a two-pronged tickle assault against Tauther & Martin!  Two grown 
men, giggling helplessly in a vat of chocolate!  All the result of a 6 
year-old girl!  Have you ever seen such a thing!>
