I've noticed this forum is very quiet!!!
So tell me...how are you doing today? Not just a 'oh i'm fine'....I want to know what is going on in your lives! Special occasion this week? Planning one? Illness? Unexpected surprise happen?
Share share share! :!::!:

I'm terribly bored (I have the week off and I didn't really count on that) and someone is burning something near me, 'cos I see smoke outside and it smells like burning wood. Which doesn't smell too bad, but it's giving me a dry throat somehow.

/me gets carbon monoxide poisoning

Hope I'll find something to do tomorrow. Might take the train to somewhere. Or call a friend and go to the cinema.

Ooh I like.

Well.
Let's see.

I'm in a great mood today because it hasn't rained, and is actually pretty warm.
I've had good lessons & hardly any homework, & am going to my youth group this evening, which always puts me in a brilliant mood because the people there are so amazing.

This weekend I'm going into town with about 8 friends, & two of them are going to attempt to get their tongues pierced, but since they're 15 they most likely won't be successful.

Then I was talking to one of them & got very pissed off so last night I was in a terrible mood. Which is explained here (http://www.isketchforum.net/showthread.php?p=81505#post81505).

But..I'm happier now.
I'm still pissed off about that, but I'm in a better frame of mind today.



Nice thread :biggrin:
oh the lovely teenager stage..lol. I was there not to long ago...but myself!
I had my tongue pierced(I was actually 21 then and going through a piercing stage..had my navel done too). No problems, but it hurt my teeth...a lot. I kept biting on it and chipping my teeth. no matter how short a bar I got, I still kept doing it. So I just finally took it out. I have over 50 bars in my drawer still. I then decided to just get a tattoo and not do piercings anymore. And i did...a large fairy on my lower back.She's pretty
anyway....hope everything stays better for you!

are you near the south anywhere?(sc, georgia, NC,FL?) because we had that yesterday and today from the fires in GA and FL..the winds pushed the smoke up here and it's been awful.
You should go to a park...or go do some grave rubbings(if that is still legal in your state...some it's not). or hop on my bike and we'll ride around together..lol!!!!
I just relized I played with you today. I go by FTMom on isketch because someone else uses FTM.



i guess I can post how i'm doing. Son is still itching to death from a poison ivy encounter over last week. This has been so much fun...our first encounter with the children having this. At least it happened now and not when we head off to vacation.
umm....I rode my motorcycle by myself for the first time this week. Normally my husband rides with me, but I want to be ok on my own on it. I did a 20 min trip to see the husband for lunch. It was fun! I am a lot more comfortable without him there because I am not concentrating on keeping up with him or worried about what i'm doing wrong compared to him(he's been riding a few years now).
ummm....younger son is doing good too. nothing to report there. Kids are out of school next week...tomorrow is my last day of work. Just a lot of finishing up things at work for me. I think that's about it!
I'm in an ok mood for today.

Nah, I'm in europe
It was probably just a neighbour burning something. They do that a lot around here... villages...!

I'd love to hop on your bike though. Never been on one :) I do cycle a lot.

I looked up 'grave rubbing'. I didn't realise it was a common practice. I do like deciphering old writings on graves but I usually trace the letters with my fingers to find out what they say. Bit stupid to forbid that, I mean.. if you clean it off again.

And yeah, I realised you were FTMom. Haha, I always put my computer in sleeping mode and I still have a screenshot of a drawing and you're in the chat window

Oh, you're FTMom?!
Gah, I just saw your signature too. I can't believe it took me this long.. :embarrassed: (lol, my new avatar says it all ;))
/me hugs FTMom!

I'm doing alright i guess. Managed to change the water filter, with much difficulty i mighbt add, turns out i suck at plumbing. But i finished putting the last coat of oil on the table i just sanded down and refinished, and it looks good. Dunno, doing alright i guess.

My new car wasn't ready today as it should have been... but I'm not that fussed as I'm not a bit surprised, and I'm off on holiday on Sunday anyway, so the car would just be sitting around gathering dust. And I live out in the sticks where we have a lot of dust! I only have to work 2 days this week, so pretty much tip top this week in general.

I just started a four day weekend cause of Victoria Day on Monday and a day in lieu for the teachers on Friday. Also, going to a My Chemical Romance concert tonight, but I don't know if I'm that excited cause I'm not a major fan. I only really know about 3 songs of theirs.
Anyways, I have a play coming up on June 7 or something and I'm really worried because we have no props, set or costumes ready and the teacher in charge of it just said today she's considering pulling the plug on it after I have done 5 MONTHS OF WORK!!!! For some reason, she refused to work on entrances, set stuff, costumes and props until everyone got their lines memorized (still hasn't happened). So, I'm kinda stressed right now...

Hey if you are not a fan, send me the tickets and i'll go!!!!!LOL i'm old..but i'm still a fan!(is 26 old? always seems like it in this game)

26 and old?! lol Clearly you've had too many young teens around you in the game. 26 isn't old! :) Get to 99, and then I'll call you old. :P

I'm in a great mood today. Learning new things and feeling smart. Somehow that always seems to brighten up my day. It is pretty lame, but what can I say? I'm easily satisfied. Finally feeling like I'm doing something of myself after lurking around for about a week. God, I'm a goof. :embarrassed:

I am struggling a bit with coding though, and learning a few basics of programming that I need. Which kinda frustrates you and leaves you banging your head against the desk. Btw, can I just say that, that helps take away headaches? lol.

And I'm looking foward to the weekend and chilling with my sisters. Can't say I have anything big planned. But a good time with my sisters is always fun :) (Nice thread, btw. Forgot to say that originally!)

Feeling better today, more positive and quite stinky (due to the huge amounts of garlic and other nasty things I have consumed :P).

Looking forward to the weekend, on Saturday we're playing poker! I have never really played, but a friend of ours likes it and it's his birthday, so we're having a poker evening.

26 is most definately not old because I am 26 and I am only a kid.

Looking forward to Mr. Vik coming home :)

hmmmm, how am I today?

I'm actually in a good mood today for a change. Over the past couple of weeks I've turned into this super housewife, getting all my housework done PLUS being really organised meal-wise and having some really nice home-cooked food. Cooked from scratch, pastry and all! Forgotten what I was saying now :eek:

Oh yes, so I think this is having a really positive effect on me and is improving my general mood :biggrin:

lol i guess i have been playing with too many teens. Although I have now completely filled my buddy list:embarrassed: a few teens on there but gradually making a lot of adult friends.
Ty about the comment about the thread. It always seems if people get to know each other more, they will post more.

I'm having an awful day today. My last day of work with this company and they are treating me like crap. A lot of issues that i'm sure will have to carry over into when I dont' even work there anymore. Thank god I am not with their company anymore (anyone that ever gets into newborn photography, don't work with Growing Family. They screw you over every which way)

i love poker! mainly texas hold em. fun fun!

Maybe it's because I'm a mom that i always feel old. I mention I have an 8 yr old at 26 and the teens in the game go crazy. :rolleyes: not like it matters...i ignore them mainly! there are quite a few cool teens that are very mature in there.

Ooooooooooo trip to the states :biggrin:

/me packs her bags!

I'll come cook for you :D My mum's a fab cook, so was my gran so I think it runs in the family. I spent alot of time in the kitchen growing up. I'm the only one, my sister's idea of cooking is pulling out a sachet of pasta bake sauce :eek:

LOL you aren't worried about me being upset are you? It takes alot to make me mad, hon! :p Seriously...my husband makes fun of my cooking all the time. I'm so used to it! My mother had 12 kids, and still never cooked. From as early as I remember, we always had sandwiches and Mac NChz. So it runs in the family at least!

Nice thread FTM , well I'm very very busy at moment so will pop back when I have more time, just really wanted to say nice thread.

ok! hope you have a fantastic (busy) day!

so sorry for you tasha...that is why i stay to myself.

I'm ok today...no work, kids home so just another day. Husband is working(as always) so it's just another day. Might take the kids swimming today or something. I really need to go to Wally world and get more stuff for our beach trip. I'm trying to span the price of things to buy out so that it's not buying it all at once.
um... not much abnormal going on here. just getting ready for summer!

I feel alright because I found a new path in my area. Haha, it's really close to where I used to live. But there's a fence on one side of it, and the other side basically ends up in a farm's back garden. But it's a pretty cool field road nonetheless and the inquisitive side of me is happy. Now I think I really know all the paths in my area -haha. Time to move!

The weather's nice too.

But anyway, everyone was being nice to each other & then when Sarah left (she got a bus home separately coz she lives in a different area), the ?????y one turns to one of the others and goes "Oh, YES, she's finally gone!" I turned round & gave her a furious look and she went "Oh shut up."

Oh my...
Wow. I know she's one of your best friends and all, but I don't think I ever had a friend talk to me like that... (I assume she said it with an annoyed tone). Still, at least she knows you don't like the way she talks about your other friend, and that in itself is quite a lot. At least she'll cut down (a bit, maybe..?). But most of all, it's nice to see someone have her back.

I find that sometimes when people talk rudely about another friend behind their back, the others go "hahahaha".. and join in. But it takes a strong person to dismiss an attitude like that. Good for you for not tolerating it.

Gahh. Teenage girls are stupid.
[I]Sorry - if you're a teenage girl. =]

Like.. Oh Em Gee. Do you realise how offended I am, that you called me stupid? :( Oh wait.. I'm 23. lol

But lovely, you'll come to realise that you'll find people like this in all age groups, sadly. I used to think (when I was your age), that when I get older, I won't come across people like this. But if anything? It's worse. And we all have faults in us, hence why you'll always find it.

As for me.. I'm having a fantastico day today! :D

Great thread, FT, and welcome to the forum, I knew you'd like it here.
I've been partying for two days. My 47 year old girlfriend who has never been married found a man! We had her bachlorette party last night, and I haven't had so much fun in years. We laughed so much I could barely speak today. The 'girls' all got up to dance together in a group (I haven't danced in years) and one of the male patrons came up and joined the circle, we wouldn't let him out. We took pictures of each other's cleavage, and spilled salsa, and...and... We must have been a sight, this group of middle-aged women carrying on like that. And you know what? I'd do it all over again, great stories, and some new friends.

sounds like fun pooter!
The father in law watched the kids for us today, and I did my first long trip on my bike. we did 100 miles in about 2 hrs. up the mountain and back down, stopped at the top for ice cream at the motorcycle hangout LOL. I felt so cool
Very tired now...going to get the kids ready and head out to a pizza buffet and then come home and crash.
Had quite a fun time!!!

today was quite good. well, this weekend has been pretty good. it's a four-day weekend since there's a Teacher's Day in Lieu (whatever that is) and Victoria Day.

had a sleepover with a friend, did a bunch of crazy stuff with her, saw Shrek 3 for free with her friends (we go to different schools) since one of them came back from Calgary (a city south of where i live), is rich and was paying for everyone. even though she didn't know me. it was quite nice.

i went shopping with my mom today, which might be a little lame but it's like having a credit card, chauffeur and valued opinion all packed into one! bought a nice necklace since i lost my last one. bought a pair of nice earrings for formal occasions, which was nice to do since it took me a year to convince my mom to even let me pierce my ears. i finally told her that either i did it myself, or she came with me to make sure they sterilized the needles. she came, and looked like someone was dying while i got them pierced. bought some clothes, too. i have this nice polo i like to wear, but the buttons always pop open, meaning that i show way more skin than i'd like.. heh. i finally realized that i could wear a tank top underneath, and layering shirts is the style right now anyways.

tomorrow is a barbecue with our church, i hope it's sunny. it should be good.

I came last in our poker tournament on saturday night! woohoo! Mr. Vik came first though, so that's ok. We didn't get to bed until 4, and then I had to get up at 8 to listen to 7 hours of a training course... tired? zzZZzZZz

Mr. Vik is in Grenoble today though, he left this morning :( He'll be back tomorrow.

I'm doing awful and it's not even 9am yet. Youngest son woke up with pink eye today. yipee. green gook in both eyes. Not as bad as last time he had it, but still bad.

Aw FTM hope he better soon..

Im doin a lil better, penicillin starting to kick in so fever gone down a bit and can just about swallow now... /flirt ice lollies

I hate to be sickening but I'm having another great day. There's been some financial paperwork that I've been dreading doing and instead of doing it, I've been walking around with my stomach in a knot for the past urrrmmm 6 months! Anyway, I've plucked up the courage to do it today and I feel great :biggrin::biggrin: I didn't think it would feel this good tbh but I'm such an organised person that having that one disorganised thing was affecting me big time.

Apart from that, I've had a tummy bug for the last 48 hours and it's showing no signs of clearing up. Feeling and being sick an awful lot :sad: Nothing too much to moan about though :smile:

Doing alright, lazy day at work, listening to some music, chatting with coworkers... nothing interesting really. Kinda pissed off that i sent a nice shirt to the dry cleaners and they completely ♥♥♥♥ed it up. Oh well, it's just money, i'll make some again and buy a new nice shirt.

Well.started out okay woke up showered.got kids ready for breakfast then school. took car to garage for service and done some banking.walked home chatted to some friends on msn and had aquick game of sketchy,then the garage rung......................£350 for the work on my car and pick it up tomorrow.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa willhve to get mr tupp to drive me to work tonight and get a cab home. not such a good day =()

i'm dead tired. had a hard time falling asleep, then i had some weird dream about the forum involving two men on here having romantic feelings about each other. huge scandal.

i found out that the church picnic was with a chinese church, not our regular one, so i was bored out of my mind. and also, what picnic doesn't have hot dogs and burgers?! there were these pre-packaged, soggy sandwiches with mustard. disgusting. i hate mustard.

got home, lazed around a bit. my mom asked me to fold the clothes. i don't mind doing that since i can watch TV while folding. but then i got into chore mood. and once i get into chore mood, i go pretty crazy. i folded four baskets of clothes, socks, etc. i washed all my bedsheets and more, all my clothes. i cleaned my entire room, and it was soo dusty and gross, and then i vacuumed it. i even dusted the mirror. then i went to the bathroom and started scrubbing at the shower curtain and cleaned the bathtub, and i considered washing the toilet, but didn't. i emptied my mother's hamper. i rearranged my drawer system for my clothes. i changed all the towels. i recycled, took out my garbage can since it was extremely full from all the crap in my room, holy crap. i'm tired now. and grimy.

so i just need to study for two unit exams, write a paper, write a report, work on three projects and practice piano. oh, and a nice shower. ooh, and i need to dry the bedsheets and my clothes. and fold them too.

god, i'm so glad harmony is over for the year.

Actually I'm surprisingly good today. I spent ages on iSketch last night introducing a new friend (well she's been around a while - but I am not naming names) to the joys of 5-Strokes. I had fun playing with the settings in a UC Room - 5-Strokes and a choice of 3 words from UK Easy isn't a bad idea.

I really enjoy teaching people stuff - anything really, which is probably why I like training SES (http://www.ses.nsw.gov.au/) recruits and members in Generel Rescue, Storm Damage Ops, Chainsaw Ops and Flood Rescue. But me being a relatively new (August 2006) player of iSketch - I guess I enjoyed the opportunity to teach someone a new thing even more than actually playing the game. Oh and look out 5-Strokes - she reckons she's crap - but her drawing skills are up there.

I have a stack of complaint investigation briefs to review and will not rest until they are done. But first - I must decide on lunch.:twisted:

I'll second that BM, it was fun playing with you guys. And she's not crap at all!

I'm doing OK today, but I wish I was in the same mood as Gracie so I could get some stuff done here! I'm looking forward to our holiday that's coming up in less than a week! YAY!

Morning all,

Well all is quiet here at the company that employs me Ltd. I get the feeling I'm going to have a fairly dull week. Oh well, am off to Wales on Friday, which will be good. TGI Friday's awaits me.

It's almost 10 already! Time flies like knives, fruit flies like bananas....

Today, yes, I'm going through a very confusing day today. Womanly-wise anyway. I'm normally really in tune but the last week I haven't been and I feel all out of sorts.

Yes maybe a bit tmi but at least I'm not giving you the gory details!

How has my day been? Fine apart from spending last 2 hours in Casualty.

12 year old son took off seatbelt and opened car door while I was turning a corner to enter school carpark to pick up another child. He flew out the door and landed in a crumpled heap on tarmac. I actually thought I had run over him with back wheels but of course he had been flung clear.

He had hit his head and there was possibility of spinal injury so after assesment by a paramedic (in car) an ambulance was called. They immobilised him, gave him entenox and took him to hospital for x-rays.

Fortunately he has been given the all clear and sent home. Nothing worse than a headache and grazes. Could have been a lot worse so we are counting our blessings right now :biggrin: (no I didn't push him out of car!)

You must have been petrified :sad:I'm relieved he's okay though... he wont be opening the car door again I don't think!

/me hugs kissy

I'm okay today... finally starting to get through the mountain of housework that being at uni and work and having the mini-buffs has left me with since Sept!

Fortunately he has been given the all clear and sent home. Nothing worse than a headache and grazes.

Glad to hear!



How am i? I'm sleepy. Can't believe i have to hang around work for another 4.5h.

Fortunately he has been given the all clear and sent home. Nothing worse than a headache and grazes. Could have been a lot worse so we are counting our blessings right now.

Yikes! :( That must have been scary for you, hun. Glad he's okay though!
/me hugs kisskiss
My day has been good (lieeeeeeeess). Being productive with work makes me happy, I guess.. and keeps me from thinking of the other little annoying things. lol, I'd never thought I'd say that I love work this much :P

I actually thought I had run over him with back wheels but of course he had been flung clear.

You must have been terrified at that point! It seems like the accident was serious, but thankfully he's ok.

/me hugs kissy and her son xxx

How am I today? bored to death of uni work, assignment due in on Thursday and I still have 2 and half books to get through before I can attempt anymore questions. My own fault, spent too much time playing a certain game that involves drawing words and guessing drawings :rolleyes:

/slap procrastination

JHC on a bike Kissy. I hope all is well. Hope the other child isn't too traumatised after what happened to their brother.

/me sends a bunch of bloody great hugs and a bottle of vodka to share around.

wow, i hope he's okay, kissy.


okay. currently enjoying butterscotch ice cream. mmmm.

i can't find that thread we had about dreams. anyways, last night wasn't a very good night for sleep, i kept waking up from some weird dream. i remember a dream where someone was staring at my armpits and laughing. i woke up thinking "wtf?" guess that person pissed me off. wish i remembered who it was, though. then i remember at least TWO dreams about failing my harmony exam. i got 73, and i wasn't happy about it, and this girl from school had taken it too but got 100... and normally, these tests are out of 100, but for some reason, it was out of 150 in the dream. so i actually failed it. and for RCM, anything below 60 is a fail. i didn't realize that i was feeling this worried about my test results, but i guess i am. it's all about the subconcious. o_O then, the moment i woke up, the first thought that went through my head was "a comedic stripper." where did that come from?!

anyways. three tests tomorrow, two of them are unit finals. arrgh.

Awww thank you for all your kind words and best wishes. Matt had a comfortable night and isn't nearly as sore or stiff as the docs warned us he might be. Huge bruises to be proud of and some nasty scrapes but luckily, otherwise unharmed.

Really touched by your support - hugs all round xxxxxxxx

Ive just read about your boy hun sorry .glad to hear is on the mend tho.xxxx

/me ring social services and childline


xxxxxxxxxxx

Oo Kissy I just read this too, glad he okay. Hugs to you all xxxxxxxx

Oh kissy {{{hugs}}} You must've been out of your mind :sad: Glad to hear he's ok though xxxxxx

Today, I'm tired, very tired, not feeling as yucky as I have done but just exhausted. Very odd :eek: Oh well, gives me more excuse not to do stuff :twisted:

ooo I,m great my new washing machine has arrived, so I will now go and read up on it, so many buttons to press.




((hugs)) to kissy and her son.

Buffers said, "I'm okay today... finally starting to get through the mountain of housework that being at uni and work and having the mini-buffs has left me with since Sept!"

I remember that! You'll get it cleaned up just about the end of August, hunny! At least that's about when I used to! Just in time for the new messes of the new school year here.

My day so far today? Much better than last night! Wasn't feeling all that well yesterday. No worries, just a too tired not enough sleep the night before kind of day. Went to work then came home and took a nap. Got up at my usual time. Made the morning coffee. Sat down at the computer and thought, since Wednesday is my normal day off, I'll go see what's happening on Isketch. It wasn't until half way through the first game and my cup of coffee I realized it was still Tuesday night, not Wednesday morning. This morning is sort of Deja' vu for me then.

But make sure your load is balanced, otherwise it might vibrate too much. :twisted:

Me goes and sits on the washer! Just holding it down!

I am having an awful MONTH! First son gets poison ivy. Then the other one gets pink eye. Now my van is POURING oil and the air conditioning isn't working(and it's already getting into the 90s in SC). We knew the oil pan was bad, but it has finally given out. joy. Thank gosh we already planned to take a rental car on our trip this summer. That van just would not make it! Keep telling myself ...one more year...one more year..then a new car!
I'm so stressed out I could sleep for 5 days straight

ah, okay, today.

got to miss even more class on account of band. it was Volunteer Appreciation breakfast morning. the band played for them, i played background music on the piano, the choir sang, etc.

Kenzie, who's also the band's main percussionist, (which is HORRIBLE since she can't keep a beat and never shows up, yadda yadda yadda) hurt herself skateboarding.. apparently her boyfriend told her to skate down a hill. (the very creepy thing about this was when i was venting about her and how she was playing for the school's final concert and it sounds horrible, i said something along the lines of asking someone to push her down a hill. i never meant it, of course, the image in my head just soothed me. xD) anyways, she hurt her wrist and couldn't play. for the first piece, (Pirates of the Caribbean) she'd been playing the snare. (badly.) Aislinn got to take her place, and it was lovely. (<3) that left no one on the bass drum. which is quite important during the Kraken theme part of the piece. we got a guy who could count fairly well to play it for that morning, and it wasn't bad. he's taken lots of piano stuff. our conductor actually got lost, which was hilarious. we played fine without her, since we're so skilled. xD for the second song, the John Williams movie adventures (there's Star Wars, Duel of the Fates, Jurassic Park and something else in it) he had to go back to french horn because it has a fairly important part. Aislinn and i thought that he'd stay! it was hilarious, because Aislinn was covering the snare part and i was covering the bells. (glockenspiel/metallophone like, only much bigger, louder, and more difficult.) when we saw that he left, we started splitting up the bass drum part between ourselves... whenever we had rests where we wouldn't play... then there was a part in my music where i just kept going from A-flat to B-flat, so i put both mallets in my right hand and played that on the bells, with my right knee muffling one side of the bass drum, (you have to muffle it or it vibrates like crazy and sounds gross) and my left hand was playing the bass drum part, and i was trying to sight-read it frantically... and Aislinn was muffling the other side of the bass drum with her elbow... when we finished the song, we both cracked up and high fived each other. our conductor congratulated us. xD

it was very nice out today. all sunny. my backpack was light, so i decided to take a detour on the bus and stop at the library. first, there was this girl with two lip rings. being as nosy as i am, i started asking random questions about them such as "do they get into the way a lot?" her friend laughed and said "yeah, with kissing." then i saw this guy on the bus that i thought i recognized. he had gone to my elementary and junior high school. he was standing, then some people left, and he sat beside me. i poked him on the shoulder, and asked him if he was indeed who i thought he was... he was kind of confused because he didn't know me, but i explained that "when you were in grade five, i used to watch you and your friends chicken fight on the monkey bars." plus, i had this huge crush on him in elementary. it makes me laugh when i think about it, it was my first ever crush. he's three years older than i am, so he didn't know me. but it was a very nice talk. we discussed the schools we'd been to... it was really quite a coincidence. he got off the bus, then i got off next to the library. and couldn't quit giggling. don't know why, it's not like i know him.

i was also happy because i was wearing a bright purple shirt. i like purple.

then i got a nice bunch of books from the library, and a friend is going to bring her copy of a book that's a sequel to a verrrrrrry good book... i'm excited. :D

EDIT: the following may be a bit uncomfortable. i'll put it in spoiler tags. xD

i've got to add health class too. i'm desperately uncomfortable when we start sex ed. our teacher is extremely frank about it... we were talking about condoms, and she was reading from this article. it said "if you are going to buy condoms, go to a store where you're not likely to run into your history teacher." everyone kind of snickered, then the teacher went "well, if i saw you guys buying condoms, i'd say 'Good job for being prepared!' " which made everyone crack up. the article was basically arguing against not using condoms. one of the reasons is because you don't want to get/get anyone pregnant. it talked about how "pulling out" didn't work, then our teacher goes off about how some guys get so excited that they have some pre-ejaculation before their orgasm (and she added in a very.. demonstrative motion right there) and that could get someone pregnant. she said "some guys have some very eager beavers!" i nearly died.

Whew, was that health class ever uncomfortable. I loved how every so often Aislinn would laugh, and it would make me laugh.

I'm having mixed emotions right now. Firstly, we have this project due on Friday about editorial cartoons that was assigned in March, but I keep putting it off. So now I'm freaking out about that, even though I don't want to do it.
Secondly, it seems we get project after project in Social Studies. This makes it hard to get other stuff done and it's just a pain in the butt in general.
Thirdly, one of my friends is holding a party (sort of a second grad, cause the actual one really sucked). It's on Friday, but my parents probably won't let me go cause we're going camping. I mean, I had a totally good plan about how to get there and stuff. So now I'm really mad at my mom, and also sad cause the party sounded really cool.
Finally, I'm also stressed about our play production coming up. We are performing in about a week, and we still don't have all the costumes, set, or one character filled in. Our last scene really sucks because we keep skipping people's lines and stuff. Oh, and some people don't know their lines completely (starts with a J, and ends with eremiah).

So I'm mostly stressed, not only because of this, but for a few small reasons.

yes indeedy doo. we complain about the same teachers and the same homework a lot. xD

/me mutters feverishly, trying to think of something of worth that she should add in this post...

today. what did i do today?

oh.

i read a 550 page book in four hours. how's that?

Today, today, has been full of busy. Some of you may know that we're moving again *insert long boring story here* and we had a viewing lunchtime today. So, I spent all morning cleaning and all afternoon painting because we haven't got the exact match of emulsion from the builders which means we have to paint whole walls instead of just touch up.

Tomorrow's gonna be the same as we've another viewing. Good news is that the house (remember that if I have another quiz) that we wanted last time is back on the market so we're gonna go for that. It's all go!

/me goes off to start packing...again...:rolleyes:

My day so far has been blooming HORRID.
I went to pay some cheques in to the bank, while there i double checked all my direct debit bill payments, and guess what BT took there payment twice greedy ????wits.
So yes i hadto sort all that out, i was fumeing.
Then on to asda, im in the queue waiting to pay and this man in the next isle is also waiting to pay.
All of a sudden he is surronded by security asking him to follow him, the man went mad all of a sudden throwing himself about shouting screaming spitting i was gobsmacked.
And anyone who knows me and was at the watford meet will know that spitting makes me really feel sick.
So yes i had to walk out and leave my shopping there, GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Tomorrow's gonna be the same as we've another viewing. Good news is that the house (remember that if I have another quiz) that we wanted last time is back on the market so we're gonna go for that. It's all go!

Congrats! That must be exciting for you!


Oh man, I am happier now. Actually, I was mentally slapping myself because my current events assignment was sooo easy.
/me slaps herself upside the head.
And I am happy cause I can go to the amazing party I wanted to go to. Only thing is, my mom wants to talk to the girl's parents, which can be problematic considering she's the one being suprised. I think I have it figured out though.

Oh man, I am happier now. Actually, I was mentally slapping myself because my current events assignment was sooo easy.

current events assignment... easy?! pssh. i've just barely found some editorial cartoons, and i don't understand ANY of them.

plus, i have a certain lack of creativity. i can't draw a bloody cartoon!

plus, i have a certain lack of creativity. i can't draw a bloody cartoon!
I don't either, but I managed to make an amazing cartoon.

Plus, I just got lucky cause my dad has a million papers laying around, so I basically could pick which ones I wanted. Plus, mine were really easy to understand considering I read whatever section the comics are in...lol.

I'm blaming you lot if it's not :P

Sure, I'm good with that. :P I think it's fine what you wrote :) I remember you telling me about her, and how you guys met, and how things are now. Sometimes we do find ourselves parting from people (like a lot), but we still think about each other and get in touch every now and then. And it's always as though we've never parted.

I have to say, personally.. I see/speak to my interent friends more so than I do with all my other friends "in person". I guess it's just a convenience thing where you're online and so are some of your other friends. I've got a few friends that I've kept from yeeeeeears ago. My best friend is someone that I met during college 6 years ago. Sometimes we go months and months without talking to each other (but think about each other), and at other times we'll find ourselves touching base a few times per week. I guess it just depends on how busy we are and when we find the time to chat, etc.

But we always talk like we've been best friends forever, no matter how long we go without talking. I think your email was totally okay, hun. She'll appreciate that you've emailed her, even if she has been busy and hasn't spoken to you a lot. My other friend, who I now consider as a very close friend to me, as you would with a best mate.. I chat with her almost every day online. And it does make me happy when I see her. It's not the same if I don't see her. If that's not clingy, I don't know what is :S I hope you work things out, I know you've been thinking about her a lot.

Errr.. how was my day? I junked out. No work whatsoever. Guess I better work super hard tomorrow.

Today I am feeling old. I played paintball yesterday for the first time since I gave up playing tournaments 3 (nearly 4) years ago.

Had the opportunity to play against a professional paintball team - the best in Australia - and they had a Canadian player who is ranked 11 in the world. managed to take him out as well as the 10th ranked guy in Oz - so was very happy with that. Especially as a number of other pro-players came up to me on the ide and congratulated me with "Man that was awesome", "Do you know who you just took out?", "Dude that was some sweet shooting"

In a later game (not against the pro's} I managed to get three forced surrenders - which is where you get to within 3 metres of an opponent, point your gun at him and say surrender. The first one I walked up behind, put my hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear "Surrender and walk quietly off the field now". Walked up behind the second and did the same, got close to the the third, but the second player yelled out to him from the sidelines (dirty f♥♥king cheat) so because I was 2 metres from him, I pointed my gun and yelled "Surrender" - he said "F♥♥♥ you" and tried to shoot me, which is against the rules, so I painted him royally, with a gun that offloads more than 20 paintballs per second - he had no choice and I doubt he will ever try to cheat again. Then I got shot by one of my players from the top of the hill, who thought I was the enemy - Ah well - At least I took out 3:biggrin:

So today I am a little sore - but not from the dozen hits from paintballs - rather from the tumble I took when some muppet tripped in front of me as we were rushing the left flank and I had nowhere to go but over the top of him and took a flying tumble into the dirt. Shoulder hurts, knee is sore and my thigh muscles are screaming "Why do you do this to us?"

HOWEVER - I am feeling really good about myself having played a pro-team and gained accolades from other professionals.

Sounds good BM! Must be all that 'de_dust' XD lol...

My day was Sugoi! So ner :P

sounds fun, BM. my sister went paintballing the other day and has bruises to show for it. looks painful.

hmm. i think i'd like to try shooting something sometime. and i'd like to get good at it, too.

and tasha, i don't think that's clingy at all. you haven't talked to her in a while so you sent a nice email. nothing wrong with that at all.

Wd to BM for doing so well at Paintball on Sunday. You may ache now but the warm, fuzzy, feel good feelings will stay with you a lot longer, fortunately xxx

May I suggest this camo for next time? http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/7457/girlpp9.jpg

How am i doing today.well ive cleared out one shed and put a freezer in it, i then tidied my bedroom put the washing on .............o i put on weight and i still have a sore throat , mykids ds has broke so they cant play and re now rowing over the game boy,,,, the other shed needs clearing and i have to get in the loft.i cant find my speaker or stereo brackets since we decorated,so will have to buy some new ones,,,BUT when i picked up little master tupp from playgroup he gave me the most enormous hug ever and said i missed you mummy!!!!! that makes up for it xx

I've never been unhappier to be back. Sucks to come back from vacation, being all relaxed and happy to face the ♥♥♥♥ty deal your reality hands you every day of your life. And so it was that i've come back only to see turmoil in the country because of inept government, that someone crashed into our car while it was parked while we were out on vacation, and that our apartment is crawling with carpenter ants.

To the last two there are relatively easy solutions. Car goes to the insurance people and gets repaired. Ants get a hefty dose of deltamethrin (gotta love them synthetic pyrethroids). But government, egh, let's riot.

Overall i'd say i'm OK. Could be better, could be worse.

Hmm. My best friend is someone I've only actually ever met three times. And I've known her for about 5/6 years.

Sometimes you don't even need to meet someone for them to turn into your best buddy.. I guess if you just click with someone, you just do. If it was 5 years ago, I would probably think that I would never become close to someone that I met online (and never in person), but.. I guess it just happens.

Anyway, glad you got a response :) I know being ignored can get annoying :rolleyes: (it does hurt us even if we don't admit it. It's only natural). You may not be in touch with your friend as much as you used to be, but she's replying to your emails. :)

And I'm too lazy to describe how I'm feeling today :P

gah, i feel so gross right now. sweaty and gritty. :|

so i woke up at 5:30 because of the sunlight streaming through the room... covered up the window randomly with blinds and blankets and managed to fall asleep. when i woke up at 7:30, it was already 22C outside.

today, our entire mass band played at Churchhill Square. outdoors. wind blew over music and stands. HOT. buggies. and you still gotta huff into your instrument, making you sweat even more. i think it was 33C? and there were a couple of divebombing mosquitos after me. then for science, our teacher decided it'd be nice to go outside and work. more divebombing mosquitos. i swear, they get bigger every year. there was this one that wouldn't leave me alone, and i swear it was the size of a penny, not including its legs.

i had to bus home today, and i noticed thunderstorm clouds coming out... i got off the bus at the mall's transit center to wait for another bus, and the wind started going nuts. imagine bits of dried, brittle leaves and petals, cigarette butts and other random bits of garbage slapping at your legs. i have a couple of scrapes from them. i was wearing capris. i also got a bunch of grit and dust in my eyes. it was so strong that it was blowing me from side to side; the wind didn't have any set direction, it was just buffeting everyone around.
then, i had to walk three blocks home. the wind is still nuts. i was just in a t-shirt and capris because it was so blooming hot this morning. i had one block left to go when i felt the first drop. i started running before the downpour started so i'm just a bit damp.
i'm pretty lucky for missing it. i just looked out the window, and there's at least an inch-thick stream of rainwater cascading down our driveway.

whoa. there's the thunder.

EDIT: just brushed a bunch of leaves and twigs out of my hair. need to shower ASAP, gah.

EDIT2: holy crap, the last bit of thunder shook the house. the walls were vibrating.

HOLY CRAP. TORNADO WARNINGS. the last tornado here was 19 years ago! almost 20!
okay, i'm a bit frightened. i wonder if we have to hand in homework if there's a tornado...

----
ohhhhhhhhh dear. i just called the weather lines. not good, they're both busy. the last time they were both busy, there was a freak hailstorm accident, funnel clouds, a tornado that touched down on one of the rural areas around Edmonton, flooded streets and a bunch of sinking cars.

getting more worried.



i just realized. tornado WARNINGS. not tornado WATCH. there's going to be a bloody tornado!

***

tornado hit Stony Plain

it's still going.

there are more watches around the area. near people i know. Spruce Grove. aaaaaaaccccck.

oh no. there's a watch for my area of the city.

EDIT: they told us to go in the basement. i'm in the basement. xD

i'm not too worried... i doubt our house will be hit if a tornado even touches down here. apparently there are clouds showing rotational.. tornado-y movements, though. i'm just worried about the people who have a warning. there's a warning for Spruce Grove. i know people in Spruce Grove. :|

Yeah, tornado warning, and then you tell me you're going to the library! :eek: You have no fear, girl. Stay low, be safe. I know it's changed from a Red to Yellow, but still..

And your journey on the way home sounded wild! I've never walked in weather conditions like that before.

And I'm not excited about the tornado. Honest I'm not. (Snap a pic ;) lol kidding).
I know the tornado is hitting in other places where you know some people. I hope they're okay.

ookay. tornado for Stony Plain ended; firefighters are just trying to make sure that trees don't collapse on the road. some people have some damaged roofs.

i wasn't too worried... i mean. we hardly get natural disasters here. we just get snow. and freak hailstorms. just precipitation. anyhow, i need my books. xD

our area is just being monitored. according to one Environment Canada spokesperson, "the eye of the storm has passed."

Oh, today at the band thing, I totally got my pic taken and my name written down!!!! Also, I forgot to put sunscreen on, but I was lucky I'm only slightly pink.
Once again, I am procrastinating with a Social Studies project, but I should start sometime.

i'm going to the pub with friends to watch the England match tonight.
You're all invited btw.

how am I today? Well, today (actually this week) I'm having a bad time. So pull up a chair and get ready for some moaning!

I went to see my doctor and he's sending me for a bunch of tests. I need to pop into the hospital this afternoon. I then need another test in 2 weeks and another one about 4 weeks after that and all this before we actually find out what's wrong. I'm now dreading the outcome, the testing's bad enough. So I'm stressing, big time. And all that on top of being ill in the first place. There are many who are worse off than me, I know this but this year's been hell enough without this too. I'm hoping I've already been dealt my bad hand and these tests are gonna show up with something that's easy to treat.

Oh on a plus side, I have no cooking tonight as we're going out :biggrin: Big happiness for me as we very very rarely eat out!

Aww, hun. Good luck at the docs. I know it's easy to say "hey, don't worry about the tests and what can come of them", but it did help me. I remember when I first started getting seizures, my doctors threw out a list of possible things that could be wrong with me, all of which freaked me out a little. But when it came to getting the tests done and waiting (2 months!!), I chose to forget about it all until the results came. And it did help :) I found it was better to keep an empty mind, than to worry about what *could* come. In the end I found that I was the one marching on, while my sisters and parents were worried, lol. Err.. not sure why i said that, I doubt it's helping. I hope there's nothing seriously wrong with you, hun.
All the best at the docs xx
/me gives Facey a tight hug (and some SPAM!.. :twisted: :razz: )

so far the day is about a 4. its a friday tho.. os i guess i should atleast make it about a 4.8....

ok thats it for now.. ta ta

today: church, mall with a friend.

we were going to see Ocean's 13, but she said that her brother said it was awful, so we decided to wait for the cheap theatre to release it. i got a second piercing on my right ear, which made my mom go off about 'how christians need to be different from the rest of the world' when she saw it. walked around aimlessly, then went to the bookstore and read for an hour together. xD i got halfway through this book i've been waiting for forever. quite happy, ear is stinging a little bit at random times.

fun day.

angry because i forgot a science textbook that i need to study for the test tomorrow. bleeearrrrrrrrrgh.

Aw Facey i hope you ok (me sends cyber hugs)
Right where do i start?
Firstly my 11 year old gone on a week long school camp trip and I already miss him like crazy and keep crying! I cant get over how much i miss the lil fella! (sad i know) Also i have been given some news out of the blue that has made me sad, angry and just blughhhhhhh!Now I have to pass on some sad news to a group of friends of mine and im dreading it!! Feeling really low and lonely!

Well it's been a busy week in God's Garden. Seems we needed a little watering. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article1912979.ece and I spent most of Saturday locally sorting out people with flooded and storm damaged houses. Got home late and spent some time on iSketch. Went to bed about 3am and got called at 7am for a Flood Rescue Team deployment. Nice trip in a Hercules with my boat and hilux - which I left in Maitland with my replacement crew who flew up from home to relieve my crew and I.

Got back to Sydney late this afternoon and crashed out for a couple of hours and now I can't sleep. Went to bed an hour and a half ago - just tossed and turned. So now I am forum surfing.

sat next to some creepy guy on the bus who kept touching himself.. down there. did my best to block out my peripheral vision and focus on my book. it started raining just as i got off the bus to start walking the couple of blocks home. geez.

did the stupidest thing possible to do with a new piercing - i tried to take it out so i could put in a smaller, more comfortable stud. didn't work. it took my 10 minutes to work the original stud back in, and i heard my skin tearing. it also bled a bit.

I just found out today that one of our teachers who is a bit of a perv can't be fired cause of something I now calling "squatter rights" (it's actually that he's worked at my school for 10 years at least, so he is in some sort of contract). Anyways, that really bothers me cause he is very disturbing and creepy.
Also, I'm kinda stressed cause finals are coming up, and I have to finish this project I'm doing by Friday, and it's kinda a once in a lifetime opportunity. I've actually had 3 years to do it, but I am a terrible procrastinator.
On the bright side, my birthday is on Tuesday!

uh oh.
/me makes a mental note to buy a birthday gift over the weekend

today just sucked. early morning science, stupid science teacher... gym was stupid too. i hate the girly girls. arrgh.

so Cara and i are doing an extra year of science.. and the year-end final is on Monday. apparently, we only get one period (50 minutes) to do it. i mentioned that i would have preferred more time to the teacher, and she goes "when did i not give you extra time? i always let you guys finish the tests. give me an example of when i haven't." i thought of one. i didn't say anything because i knew she wouldn't want to hear it, but she was like "well?" so i told her the time we hadn't been given extra time, and then she was all like "you've made me sound like i'm some horrible, cruel woman. i expect an apology." and i was like.. what?!

then i was just in a general bad mood for the rest of the day... mood swings and hormones, i guess. and stress. we had a french unit exam, and i only found out about it yesterday. then i had an orthodontist appointment after school, and that just basically was the last straw. the orthodontist was being really rough, and she stabbed me with some instrument/tool a bunch of times, and it really, really hurt. they put in a stiffer wire so i'm sore, my mom was being very annoying, they're making me wear elastics all the time now, and i just started crying. orthodontist appointments always seem to be the last straw when i'm in a bad mood. when i got home, i just went to my bed and sobbed for a while, then i fell asleep for two hours. now i have to finish my social project for tomorrow since i've procrastinated it so much, and i'm really tired. crying really takes it out of you.

Mines simple..I woke up today smiling for the first time in a long time ..It feels good too..:)

today is better.. thanks, tasha.

so i'm sitting in band right now with nothing to do. i'm on the teacher's computer.. lol. everyone else is doing testing, and i've finished. all we have to do is scales... everyone else finds it hard, but it's easy for me, thanks to piano. xD

i played a game of iSketch.. i'm really out of practice. now she's making me write this business letter since our band got a scholarship on account of how talented we are. xD
i have no idea what to write. i mean, what is there to say besides "thank you for sponsoring this blah blah blah.. " ?!

Hey, the only hard thing is the fingering. And seriously, our teacher needs to get a life. I'm so happy though, cause I finished my giant project that was due so hopefully they will accept me. But I'm still really stressed cause finals are on Monday (starting) and I haven't really studied yet. So guess what I will be doing this weekend?
I too have finished my band tests, and was totally jealous of Gracie getting to be on the computer. I am also sad that a lot of people don't like our bad teacher, cause she is one of my fav teachers.
Okay, so my day was pretty random.

thank god it's a Friday. five exams down, two to go! don't know if my sanity will last.

anyways, exams mean that we only have half days at school if we get our parents to write us a note excusing us from the pointless afternoon "study hall" - where you sit in the gym and "study." of course, some people actually like it because they know they won't study if they go home. anyways, back to the point - my dad, since he works for the government as an accountant, gets these crazy benefits and free lunches at work... they were having an end-of-year celebration, because.. i don't know. something to do with the budget?! anyways, we had a great barbecue, and then went on a "cruise" (nothing major, i assure you) down the North Saskatchewan River. it splits Edmonton, the city i live in, basically in half. (yes, yes. Edmonton is in Alberta. it's still called the North Saskatchewan River. get over it.)

it was fun, though. we've been getting weird weather changes for a while - one minute, it'll be bright and sunny, then the next minute, black clouds start moving in. so we had a couple drops of rain, but then it'd clear up again. it was super windy, which was very fun; i love feeling it blow through my hair. it really reminded me of when i went to France. we went on the Bateau Mouche (a boat) in Paris, and we had a nice ride down the Seine River. we were calling to the French people as we went, just random things like "J'aime notre chien!" to a guy walking his dog, and "Vous courez tres vite!" to a guy who was jogging.. lmao.

fun day. i had my camera, and i got some very cool shots of the clouds. one half of the sky would have these darkening grey clouds while the other side of the sky would still be sunny.

Later: went out for dinner, then we were going to see a show from the Improv Fest. it was sold out and we ended up seeing a Fringe Fest musical. not bad.

I'm very sorry to hear that, hun. As a friend to her, I can imagine it's going to hurt you too. It's not weird that you cried about it. As for your friend and their family, I hope they're all doing okay. I can only imagine that it must have been a difficult thing to go through and watch. She's lucky to have you as a friend. Thanks for letting us know. Big loves xx

Sorry to hear it, Tasha. I know you'll be a great and supportive friend to her when she needs you most :)

/me is in need of a hug someone called her a really bad name on isketch and hes a regular on here

check out the "Hug on iSketcher" thread. i didn't want to double post, so i just edited.. ;) <3
don't worry about it, no one else thinks that's true.

today - study. five exams down, two to go. can feel my sanity slipping away...

i just went and played in a Summer Band! i'm technically supposed to be in university to play in it, but i can pass as being older than i am.

hah, super fun. i haven't played the clarinet for two years, and so i picked off an "easy" 3rd Clarinet part. geez. if the 3rd Clarinets were like that, i wonder what the 1sts have. xD
after hearing some of the trumpet parts, i knew that i'd have to stay on clarinet... or play percussion. i don't mind percussion, it's just not as fun. it was such a huge band, and huge bands pretty much always sound good no matter what, because the majority of the people play the right notes and right rhythms. but it was super fun, a lot better than school band.

i also tried out a new cream because i have really dry skin. another allergic reaction. :(. i have red bumps all over my legs now. :|

* tuppence;87014 is in need of a hug someone called her a really bad name on isketch and hes a regular on here

saw the thickest, clearest rainbow ever. felt like the air was really thin. saw two caribou - had no idea that their antlers are fuzzy, a black bear cub that walked by us on the road and three goats. it was Canada Day yesterday, so there were a lot of lovely fireworks. we got to our tent late that night, and my dad locked the keys in the car. so basically, we couldn't DO anything. the books, the iPods, the cell phone so we could call our car company, ID, wallet, money, clothes, food, EVERYTHING was in the stupid car. anyways, the mechanic dudes came, wedged our door open a tiny bit and used a hook to unlock the car. it was absolutely freezing, camping in the mountains. hmmph.

today isnt a good day for me at all ive got major toothache n one of my close mates lost someone very close to them on sunday night :sad::cry:

It was absolutely amaaaaaazing - we went to the Colusseum, Ancient Roman Forum (or something like that), Vatican City, Ancient City of Pompei, climbed Mount Vesuvius,

/me gasps!
I didn't know you'd be visting Pompeii and climbing Vesuvius. :( Jeeeealous! Glad you enjoyed yourself! Sounds like you had a great time (even though you were sickies.. eeek!). lol @ the teachers being drunk. My teachers always got drunk when we went abroad :S

Oh! Ignore my RH then, it's all here :P

My day was mainly full of shopping and cooking. Oh well!

Went to our town show, went on the funfair with the kids, had our picnic in the park.
Back to the fair, candy floss ect, me feeling sick.
Then me telling them its time to go, kids saying yes soon ok mum.
Me sitting on the grass smokeing a ciggie, and drinking white wine, kids still not ready to go.
I go find the porta loo,s and they stink, i decide ill leave it thanks very much, kids still chatting to mates.
Ok really is time to go as the kids are tired, and my daughter wants to go home shower and change cause shes going to her mates house, i tell the kids sorry im not ready yet as ive just spotted a mate in the crowds.
Kids kicking off lol saying oh mum hurry up lol poetic justice.
Im home now and going for a hot bath ahhhh peace at last.

I've had no energy for the life of me in the last few days :S
I am like.. the grumpiest person to have walked the planet :( I don't think I've ever felt so lifeless while being ill, lol. Urgh, the migraine is kicking in. I haven't had one in two weeks. I had a feeling that was too good to be true. :(

Not happy with my moaning. lol. :sad: Which is a moan in itself, right?

/me goes to PM tasha. I wanna see!

Aww. That's pretty much how I've been feeling :| I've got a migraine that's been here for over 24 hours too. And let's not even get started on the famale side of things, lol.

/me hugs ICHI.
Hope you're feeling better soon.

I'm craving prawns :|

Very sad :cry: One seriously ill dog, piles of work still to get through and a horrible feeling that things are getting out of my control :S

I had a seizure this morning after a whole year, which was weird. I figured I was "cured" from them. I did good considering I wasn't on meds for the last 10 months. I feel a bit disoriented, and don't remember much. Before anyone gets worried, I'm totally okay! I promise. Just thought I'd mention it, because I'm known for being incredibly dozey at times like this. So.. excuse me, and have some patience around me at the moment. Had some support from a few friends, and I feel great now. I love you guys. You know who you are.

I'm not allowed to work though, and I'm so bored :S

Other than that, I've had a good day. Glad to be alive, lol.

Just a sad day today. My grandfather has been sick and he passed this morning. We knew it would happen but I'm glad he's in a better place. Been sick for years but I'll always have happy happy memories :)

Oh and it's raining too and im exhausted but it doesn't matter.

/me hugs Duckie xx

So sorry to hear that hun :sad: but as you say, at least there's some happy memories :smile:

/me feels good today

im looking after my friends dog for a week he is loverly. and the kids love him
taking him for walks and playin in the garden.

Today was pretty great. Slept in, had a long hot shower. A little sore and itchy from the farm day on Saturday, but nothing big.
My mom has a weird work schedule on Monday, she works from about 12:30-8, and her workplace is right beside a close friend's house. So I can sleep in, then she can drop me off at the house and we can hang out until 8 when my mom gets off work and picks me up. We had lots of fun. Went to Starbucks twice, once because we were really cold and wanted hot coffee, and the other time because we were warm and wanted a cold frappucino. We sort of did nothing and just kind of lazed around for an hour or two at her house, then she wanted to go to the park. We ended up taking 74 random pictures, with props like slides, monkey bars, random poles and this mini kiddie rock climbing wall, and some trees, flowers and dandelions, lampposts, etc... it was a lot funner than I thought it would be. Lots of laughter.

As my mom was driving me home, we got into a great conversation about my future and the sort of things I want to do... I know she's happy to hear from me like that, because I've overheard her telling friends that she wishes that I'd communicate more... and I'm also happy because getting along with my mother nowadays isn't as easy as it was when I was younger. A lot of the stuff she's been saying makes a lot of sense now, even though I rolled my eyes about it and "endured" it before.
So it's been a pretty good day... have to throw a bunch of school supplies together because tomorrow is school registration, and according to my sister, I'll get assigned a locker.

Also, since we took a bunch of pictures today, I decided to try to stop caring so much about how I look. It's hard since the media puts such an emphasis on appearance, but all of my friends have accepted how I look, so why shouldn't I? I myself don't think it's fun to be around someone who constantly worries about his/her appearance and is looking in the mirror. Screw Jessica Alba, her genes are a medical anomaly. xD

That's brilliant, gracie :)
I love that last sentence!

/me gives gracie a fumuminulumulunsomethingating round of applause or hurrahs or something XD



I'm in a fableeous mood todayy, I've just spent the last hour or so in my room, with the CD player up veery loud (*apologises to neighbours!*) & I feel fantastic.

Also to do with the stuff gracie wrote in the last paragraph - something I've been thinking about lately as well. It's come to the point where I like (or can just about put up with...!) most of how I look at the moment. :D

I'm good...

I stood in a gas chamber in Dachau today. Holy cow..

An interesting but hard day.

Got back the results of our mock Critical Thinking exams today. We did the exams in June, had only been doing the course since September, and its an AS level course, so we weren't expecting to do very well in it...

I got a D in one of them... and a U in the other one. For anyone who doesnt know.. a U is the lowest grade you can get. Outside A-G, you just get a U, for Ungradeable or something.
I got..er.. 13/80. :|

I'm not really cross or upset about it.. I didn't exactly revise for it and no-one got higher than a C in either of the papers.
However, we were supposed to take the real exam this coming January, so it's out of the way before our GCSEs. But now I'm not sure I want to. Having a D or an E on my record, although technically still a pass, is not good.

I think I'd rather just have done the course and have it as an extra curricular thing that I've done, rather than get bad marks for it.

=/

Ah we had to do critical thinking but I got to drop it cos my teachers made me pick up further maths a term into college. Critical thinking really isn't something important, but I can see why you'd mind having a D or E recorded.

Our chem teacher told us that some kid got U's (Unclassified) for his A levels and cos his parents were uneducated he told hem it meant for University Standard. So when someone got a U in chemistry they'd yell "Woo! University Standard!" (only after our teach read out all the marks :rolleyes:)

My day was kinda tiring. I was awake at 4.30 and went out at 7.30. I've been in and out the house since. Running around, doing chores and stuff. I'm really tired now actually. We had the noisy builder around and the hole in our dining room floor is a lot bigger.
I hope I can actually sit down to do some uni work tomorrow. I don't like it piling up =/

Today im feeling quiet bright and bubbly, myself and my family may have the chance of moving to the norfolk broads to start our own business.
Im hopeing all the things we need to sort goes well. eg kids moaning about moving and school changes ekks.
Nothing is cemented as yet but it would be wonderfull for us if it went ahead.:razz:

Hows is quiky doing today?

Well have to say Ive been a bit of a cold coming on the last few days (grr) but I got up this morning a felt great <dances around the room>

I cycled the 10miles to work and back almost got killed twice ( thats quite low for a normal day to work and back) maybe the hi viz jacket and the Blackpool iluminations on myself and my mountain bike are helping now.

Have to say a bit sad that summer in the UK is over and the beach are starting to look empty down here in Devon and Cornwall. Must dig the winter wetsuit out soon.

I got out of going to Wakefield next week for Work (Quiksilver gets lost anywere past Bristol)

Just chilling now this evening, watching the sunset out the window

Well I'd say I had a good day. I went to bed pretty early last night, so waking up was pretty good. Then, at school I had English followed by 2 spares and lunch which was pretty nice. In English we're still doing Sophocles so that was really interesting, plus my teacher has much to say.

After lunch I only had two classes- both of which went by fast. Then I got to leave early since I had another spare so I went straight to the gym.

Then it was even before 5 that I was home, and had dinner and such. I love free time! So it was pretty much a relaxing day, plus I got to have lunch with an old friend.

Can't say the same about tommorow, although I guess school+ work until 10 can be counted as fun.. Ha.. Who am I kidding?

Oh boy. Today could not have gone longer.

So on Wednesdays I have jazz band practice... which goes from 3:30 to 5:30. I ended up staying at the school the entire day because at 7, it was Meet the Teacher night and I was playing in the Honour Band for the parents. No point in going home, because I'd have to leave again in 15 minutes. Ended up trying to study for my Chemistry test tomorrow, which didn't work out all that well, so I ended up doing all the formula pattern scales on the piano, because I haven't gotten in much practice lately.

I've been really stressed lately, am quite surprised that I haven't been reduced to a puddle of tears already.

So while I was waiting at the school and trying to study, I went up to go to the bathroom... I'm at a new school this year, and I still kinda get lost... because my last school had one hallway, lol.
1. I accidentally walked into the boys' washroom.
2. There was some sort of maintenance guy in there at the urinal.
3. He turned around and saw me.
4. I screamed OH MY GOD really loudly and ran into the band storage room to hide.
Oops.

Haven't eaten at all today either. Had a newspaper meeting at lunch time and didn't have time to warm up my lunch so I didn't bother. Then I was about to eat my sandwich once jazz band was done, but I dropped it and the whole thing opened up and the insides spilled everywhere... and I had to clean it all up.

Now I'm home. I have to practice piano, which I basically haven't done all week because I've been so busy. My piano teacher's going to pissed. Also, I think I lost a CD that she lent me.
I also have to finish two labs, a physics worksheet, math pages, a GYM package (gah, I didn't think we'd get homework in gym!), study for my Chem chapter test tomorrow, finish an English essay, a social paragraph, some Chem packages, and harmony.

Looks like another sleepless night.

Hmm. I'm not sure how to feel today.

Last night I was in a pretty crappy mood due to just being exhausted.. & then one of my friends started talking to me on msn.. and asked whether I want to go in a limo with her to the leavers ball. Whatt? I haven't started planning that yet! (ha ha, no, really I haven't) But she said it's £50 each.. which seems a huge amount of money for it, seeing as how much the rest of it's going to cost. I asked her who else was going.. it's my 3 close friends from tutor (she's one of them) who of course I'd love to go with, but then some other people I've basically never even spoken to.

I can see that we're drifting apart at the moment.. two of them are changing.. one of them quite dramatically it seems.. and I don't know what the situation will be between us in 9/10 months. I figure they'll just be drinking or something on the way home and I don't want that. I don't fit in with some of them at all.

Which I have no problem with. I just don't want to be uncomfortable there. I'd rather go with some other friends. My problem is that I'm friends with two or three people from different friendship groups.. and I've kind of joked about what we might do instead of a limo with a few other people.. not realising at the time that I'd have to choose between them at some point.

I told this girl that I didn't know yet, and did I have to decide right now because it's a long way off, but she said yes, decide as soon as possible so we can book it (£400 for 8 people... seriously! That screams rip-off to me!) and said "Well fine but everyone else is trying to come, why can't you just go and ask if you can?"

I don't want to upset her.. she's sensitive & I fear that telling her I want to go with someone else will set her off. But then I do want to go with them.. because..well, the 3 of them have been my friends for most of the last 5 years.. and in a way it'd be a shame not to end it together, after all that.

Sooo.. I don't really know what to do about that. However, she didn't mention it today so I'm thinking maybe it's just an idea she's had, not something that's really going ahead. So I'm going to leave it. If she doesn't mention it, I won't. I'll just see what happens. (Oh, and it's a pink limo. :rolleyes:)

But then.. I'm reaally happy because I'm starting to realise I'm not the complete loser I was a couple of years ago (Oh shut up :P) and I've got friends, who like me.
...
I think.


*scrolls up*
Oh, this has been a rather long post. =|

/me hits 'Post Quick Reply'

Today, bah.

I was on the phone all morning sorting out work stuff, which right now is NOT my fave subject. Then I went to work. Then I came home and sorted out work stuff for tomorrow. Then I went to college to get a grammar headache and then I came home and answered a ton of work-related emails and made a few more phone calls.

Right now it's almost 22:00 and I've finally got time to eat before I continue preparing for the nice surprise lesson that I have to do really early tomorrow cause someone's sick.

And tomorrow I have to get up at stupid o'clock to get to this damn lesson which is MILES away and I have to take all my props on the bus and underground, which will make me the week's most hated rushhour travellor.

And you know where Mr. Vik is right now? He's making himself sick on litres and litres of beer in a beer tent in Munich for Oktoberfest. Poor lamb.

BAH to today!

Well today is monday... which means it's the beginning of another week. Today wasn't so bad but see Monday has no "insurance". I wasn't late for courses today and I didn't recieve any work but whose to say tomorrow is just as good. If it was a thursday and I had no work then I might look ahead and bet Friday is pretty safe... go ahead roll your eyes at me ;)

I am fine!

how does tupp feel today


quite sad really how do you tell your 7 year old daughter her guinea pig is dead. i went to clean them out this morning and there was daisy dead on the straw,bless her.

/me is not good

Awww, RIP Daisy.

Poor lil Miss Tupp - she'll be sad but she'll get over it. Be honest with her and tell her Daisy passed away and that now she's in a nice place, or something like that.

How am I today? TIRED!

Today: my sister and I saw our parents off at the airport this morning. They're going to be in China for a month. O_O
While we'll enjoy the freedom, it'll mean a lot more work for us to do - meals, chores, car rides (since I've been too lazy to get my license.) Anyways, my sister is already taking the chance to enjoy the freedom - normally, my parents make her get home before 11 pm (which we think is unreasonable since she's 20) so tonight, I told her that she wasn't allowed to come home before midnight. xD

Had a friend over, though - watched a bunch of Disney movies, and we were belting out the songs to Mulan, Prince of Egypt and Pocahontas. xD

And now my imagination is getting to me. I never like being alone in a house for long... I suppose this comes of reading too many crime/mystery/horror books. And it doesn't help that it's pitch black outside... and a call that someone just made to my house.

Man: Hey, is your mom there?
Me: Uh no, she just left for Hong Kong.
Man: Oh, when did she leave?
Me: Uh... this morning..
Man: Okay, bye.

Did I just invite a serial killer to my house? Gahh. He was chinese though, and I thought I recognized the voice... but now I'm not sure.

I'm trying to think of rebellious things I should do while I have the chance - any ideas? xD
The best I could come up was incredibly dorky. I'm just not a party person. I was thinking of getting streaks in my hair (not that coppery colour asians always get, though) but the streaks wouldn't be temporary enough, and I'd have to get my hair bleached before anything would show up... and I don't want to mess with my hair like that.

I wanted to get a haircut today... but my sister didn't want to drive me, even though there was an appointment time that was good for me. Once it gets a couple inches past my shoulders, I get really annoyed and get it chopped off. And it's making my back itch.. and I have a sore scalp from putting it in a ponytail too much. Grr. I think I should just take a pair of scissors to my ponytail.

Oh, and it's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada... so I have Monday off. Tomorrow, my sister and I are going to some relatives' house for Thanksgiving dinner. We haven't seen them for a year, despite the fact that they're the only relatives that live in our city. :/ Ever since the parents in that family got divorced, it's like they've been avoiding us. It hurts because we used to be very close... we lived a block apart, until they decided to move to the other side of the city.

Had to bump up my harmony lesson because we're going to see a comedy show on Tuesday night. Which means I have to hurry up and finish the huge pile of harmony homework I have... and do a Physics lab. Hmmph. I suppose I should be a little happier, because as weekends go, I didn't get too much school homework. And I suppose it's sort of a good thing that a close friend I haven't seen for a while cancelled our plans on Monday because she couldn't make it... more time for homework, I guess. :/ It sucks though - I could've seen her today at the mall, but I'd already made plans with the friend who came over to watch the movies. It was really fun, but I miss the other friend.

Almost a week ago, an RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officer was shot and killed in the Northwest Territories. The killer came all the way south into my province. Then into my city. Then into my neighbourhood. Today, he was finally arrested... and it all took place about three blocks from my house. My neighbourhood has been crawling with police all day. An elementary school about two blocks away from my house was evacuated.

So today, I'm incredibly grateful. Since my parents are in China, I bus home every day now. Luckily, a family friend offered me a ride. If I'd taken the bus, I would've gotten off at the street where all the craziness was happening at the time the suspect was being apprehended. Wouldn't have wanted to be caught in there, though I know the bus driver probably would have decided not to let me off there.

Still, I found it pretty creepy that there was an "armed and dangerous" murderer who was extremely close to where I live. Not a happy thought. Ours is a safe neighbourhood.

Today I'm doing kinda great, considering it's supposed to be family day and no-one's around so I'm just reading my books. Nerdy's gone to Peak District for the week, my other sister has gone to Lake District for the weekend, other sister's whose father-in-law passed away is picking her hubby up from the airport today, other sister is in Luton and will come tomorrow. And my other 2 sisters are at home with me and my parents. Yuh, loadsa sisters, I know.

So anyway, my mum's feeling poorly so she asked me to make her soup, my first time making a "real" soup with meat in it and my dad really, really wants to "help" me. So he's going down the cupboards picking out all the lentils he can see and starts chucking them in a bowl ready to put in the cooking pot without washing them. Thankfully I made him wash them before he put them in. Oh and we didn't want lentils in soup, especially not 6 different types!

Then I was chopping the carrots, and my dad was saying they were too small. So I told my dad to make himself useful and peel some onions for me to chop, but no, he decides to chop them too and into sizes as big as my sister's nose. Well that's what she compared them to O_o

Then I was chucking in a few spices and my dad's standing there complaining about what to put it, what not to put in and how much and then he said "What you need is barley!" O_O Who has a fresh supply of barley in their cupboards??
Then when I went to go grass on my dad to my mum telling her he was ruining the soup he yelled "where's the aniseed?" to which all of us just yelled "No!! omg what are you doing??!"

I gotta admit, cooking with my dad is nice but when he has crazy ideas and takes over the kitchen and makes mess, it's a nightmare. When I told him I was making the soup he went "no, me and you are making it" and now that my dad has filled the pot with water and put in on the boil, he turned and just went to me "see, we did it :)" so I said "nuh-uh dude, you made this!"

This soup is gonna be a thick soggy, lumpy, lentilly meaty stew thingy with huge chunks of onion, no way am I taking credit for that! :eek:

/me ran straight out the kitchen before something exploded
Yeah it was fun and kinda funny, but I really hope no-one gets ill tomorrow.

Today ive got a steaming headache, im tired due to lack of sleep, im moody as hell, have tons of ironing to do before i pack cases for holiday, and im just really peed off.
Roll on my holiday i need to rest.:rolleyes:

/me books herself a flight, on Cunny_Lingus best airline ever !! :smile:

Holiday? I got back from holiday in UK 6 weeks ago - and when I saw you you'd just come back from a holiday.

/me wonders if he's in the wrong job:sad:

/me feels great cos he received a Birthday Card today signed by loads of iSketchers.

Thanks everyone - even though the bloody snails in my letter box got to the envelope and a little of the card.

How am I doing today? I'm doing great! :razz: Today I went to give blood for the first time and although I was excited, when I got there I was a bit nervous and scared cos there were so many people.

It was kinda funny when the nurses had to check my blood to see if I was anaemic cos she had to prick the end of my finger and squeeze the blood out but she couldn't get it into the pipette and in the end the other nurse had to do it for her. She was like "We'll end up taking all your donation out your finger!" Was kinda cool seeing the blood sink like that cos if it floats it means I am anaemic so I can't give blood. Although the first few drops floated they said that was probably cos they got air in the sample (Phew!)
I really wanted to know what that blue liquid was that they used to test for anaemia but I thought that would be a bit of a nerdy question to ask :smile:

I even had a screen around me when the blood was being taken out unlike everyone else, so it felt like I was hiding, hehe.
I filled my bag of blood quite quickly too compared to everyone else there; not that I was competing with the lady lying down in the bed next to me or anything! ;)

Ooh and I watched the needle go into me for once, woohoo, that didn't hurt but it did when the nurse took the needle out of me. Still hurts now and I can't really bend my arm properly, but that's normal for me and typing with a plaster on my index finger is a bugger an' all :p

I advise that if you can give blood, go for it! It's such a good feeling... unless you help save the life of a serial killer or summat :eek:

Woo, well done AJ! You've done a good thing!

I'll just combine RC & RH since I'm here anyway.

Just did my Grade 5 theory exam.. Stared at the first two pages for like 5 minutes going aah, ahh, I don't know any of this!

Really mean questions to start the paper off with but the rest of it wasn't too bad.
Answered all the questions anyway but I know some of them are wrong because I literally picked a random answer to put down. Paper's out of 100 and you need 65 to pass.. which is quite low I suppose but the questions are hard. And it's a 2 hour paper.
Don't know when we'll get the results but fingers crossed I passed or I'll have to retake it =/

Aside from that, got back a media essay today which we're using for our exams, & had v positive comments on it, which was good. And got "Potentially good" on a humanities practise exam which I'm not sure whether to take as bad or good.. but I'm going with good. Got a B in that I think, not sure.

It's been a longggg day.

Sorry..almost 24hrs and I'm going out in a minute.

My tutor is leaving at Christmas, because she moved over the summer & it's way too far for her to come. It's really messing us around, because the new tutor will be our 5th in 5 years. And our longest standing will have been yr7 & 8, so there hasn't exactly been any consistency. It's a shame she's leaving but she's probably going to come back for when we leave etc. And on the verrry bright side, our new tutor will be the guy who was head of our department since we came to the school, and left just over a year ago.

He's awesome. Sooo glad we're getting him and not some random stranger, albeit only for just over a term.

im sick:( i hate being ill:( but hey i'm getting organised for my xmas shopping trip next weekend working out what im buying and for who so thats keeping me busy my daughter has a list as long as my arm lol im worried im not gonna be able to get her nintendo wii i no i have to order it but does anyone no how long it will take to get it or even if i will get it?

/me hugs tasha

Woke up to the sound of the wind going insane this morning. I woke up around every ten minutes because it was soooooooo loud, and I could hear our lawn chairs falling over and I think that at one point, I heard something big and wooden splinter across something. Called the weather line - the wind speed was 90 km/h.

When it was time to start getting ready for the day, my dad had a temper tantrum. For some reason, he thinks that there are chinese books out on my library account. There aren't. I told him that last week. He called me stupid and crazy. Today, he asked if they were due, and I told him that there weren't any of his books on my account. Then he got all angry and said that I'd told him last week that I had his library books on my account. I hadn't. I guess he grabbed a bunch of books to return, because we stopped at the library before dropping me off at school, and I noticed that he was returning one of my books... I'd finished it, but I would've liked to re-read it, so I said "oh, you're returning this one?" And he turned to me, face furious, and spat out "I'M NOT GOING TO TALK TO YOU."
At that point, I nearly burst out laughing. He was acting like a three year old who was about to have a temper tantrum. Not the first time, either.

The rest of the day pretty much has gone by in a blur - weighed the precipitate from a Chem lab, Chem test was cancelled (whew), did a Physics test, scale testing in Band, a former student with a heart problem came in and visited us during English, did a Social test thing involving lots of writing ...
Came home to the smell of baking. My sister volunteers for this program where they teach inner-city kids how to play piano for free, and they're doing a bake sale to raise money. Mm, cookies. I helped out a bit with posters and such.

Head's about to explode. Too many people I dislike keep coming up to me and bothering me almost to the point of yelling. Something's gotta give or I'm really going to lose it.
And to top it off, I'm a little worried because recently, my circulation has been horrible. My vision goes all fuzzy and black if I stand up too quickly. Just crossing my legs causes both of my feet to fall asleep.

It was nice of you to offer to type it out again for her. Honestly, it was her problem, like you said, you made a genuine mistake. I personally feel it was her responsibility to deal with it, her being the teacher and all - I hope she was grateful for your help!

My day - kids and snow. Then pensioners and snow. Then home, then snow. Then more kids - and snow. Then home and... snow. That's about it, really. I've kind of been on a mystery downer lately so I gave myself a good talking to today and I think it's done the trick.

Oh, and I just googled someone (no-one on here) and found out something really funny which I just wouldn't share with anyone but it's made my day. HA!

Oh, btw, there WAS a good and valid reason I googled them in the first place! I didn't just do it out of nosiness, lol!

I remember doing French Oral once or twice, but I don't recall needing cards and making notes. :razz:

Head is full of rubbish at the moment because I just sat in as an independent witness for an interview of an Internal Witness. Some people really can't let things go, and hold grudges forever. Glad it's not my complaint to deal with.

I am totally heartbroken and griefstricken :'(
My gorgeous lovely bubbah rabbit Dave died on Saturday. He went peacefully in his sleep. It was a complete shock because although he was never the healthiest of rabbits he was actually doing really well. Poor baby was only 17 months old and I feel as tho a human member of my family has passed away. We've buried him in the garden and I'm hating it so much because he hated being outside. I know some ppl wont understand how I can be so upset at a rabbit dying but he was my constant companion while I was stuck at home recovering from my operations. I don't think you could ever get a rabbit more loved than Dave was. He cost me an absolute fortune in wires and vets bills but the cost with him was never an issue despite how broke I was at the time lol He was worth every penny and more.
I just feel like I have a gaping hole in my life now and I can't bear the thought of him not being here. I keep hoping that this is all a dream and I'm going to wake up and he's still going to be there :'(

RIP DAVE 1st June 2006 - 24th November 2007
Sleep well my gorgeous lil bubbah rabbit

/me gives Tink a HUUUUUUGE hug
I'm sorry about Dave. :(

It decided to drop 20 degrees overnight. I finally got into the house after walking home from the bus stop and decided I wanted some hot chocolate. I reached into the fridge to grab the milk, and the refrigerator felt warm.
Been a bit busy lately. Mostly because I procrastinated things wayyy too long (like a month) and because I've been giving some feedback to a friend about a story he's been working on for three years. I've read through about 42 pages (on Word.) It's actually not bad at all.

Oopsy bumpsies!

How am I doing today? Well, I was looking forward to my driving lesson after I was a bit dozy from the heat yesterday. Thankfully today I was back normal and my lesson went really well... until the end.

I stopped at the traffic lights on a 40mph road and there was a stupid white van man who thought it'd be good to go at 40mph (or above!) so he went past me really fast, breaking the mirror on my side and jumping the lights. What a numpty! >_< I had to straighten the mirror as best I could whilst at the lights but the guy had broken it so it was impossible to seen anything on my right. I'm pretty sure my driving instructor was gonna swear but I called the guy a clown and she said the same ;)

Good thing is I didn't freak out or anything and it's not the first time I've had an idiot do something stupid. The other week a motorcyclist was driving towards me on my side of the road! :rolleyes:

Good things about today are listening to Ken Livingstone and being able to download his podcasts for free! :o

P.s could the mods please re-reveal the Arsey (RC) thread? Muchas grassy-ass!

lol AJ, wow, that's freaky XD i wont be able to drive for awhile.. but meh. seems like a good thing after hearing that :P glad you're ok though.

hm, my day is all....weird....ups downs and upside downs. :) but it all ends pretty well i guess <3
