How do you feel today?

[Elenwë]

Why? *hugs*

I was supposed to go to Uni today, it's good to have a couple more days off.

[Eowyn]

Well I spent 9 hours answering phone calls .... I think I can so it in my sleep now I know the phrases by heart.... I'm going to have to take something with me to do tomorrow I can't stand the boredom any longer.... well I'm off to te pub. It's quiz night :hyper: oh look my energy is back lol

hope everyone's ok
*hugs everyone*

Elenwe enjoy your time off and I'm glad you like your hair ;)

[Lady Luthien]

Whohoooo I got the rest of the day off, the rest of the day off *starts singing* veryhappy Now if only it wasn't cloudy and raining and depressing out...
:grin: oh well. I guess freedom is worth not having sun. ;)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

I played hooky today for the first time..............I was feeling like absolute ****. it´s amazing how hard it can be to get out of bed......


Little White Pills
They say they can fix the world
from acne to pain to depression to allergies
the little white pill can remedy anything
pop them nightly, the miracles in a bottle

they say they can fix the world
lower cholesterol, solve erectile disfunction
the little white pill can rememdy anything
by the bottle, by the dose, modern day magic

they say they can fix the world
ADHD, headaches, bloodpressure
the little white pill can remedy anything
a capsule, a tablet, prescriptions for happiness

does no one realize the problem here?
I am guilty of what I see
I too rely on that little white pill
the root of my insecurities
swept away in one swallow

just down that med and let the solution spread

no consequences, no blame
simple cures, easy answers
they say they can fix the world
the little white pill can remedy anything

but what about
a dependence on
little white pills?

[SamwiseAtHeart]

I'm tired and my face numb right now, I had my wisdom teeth pulled today :) fun stuff (not really) I'm also in pain despite the mega pain killer drugs but I am lucid and aware of what is going on which I am happy about. Blah, I'm gonna go to bed soon. G'night

[Ice Dragoness]

I'm being brave and putting my photos up....and no my foot isnt in any of them lol

http://groups.msn.com/Pollagog/mesalbum.msnw?Page=4

Theres 2 pages of them, all the ones with Karana Downs Hunter Trial on them, no laughing at the size of the jumps! It was just the confidence boost I needed to get jumping again.

I'm about to go book some plane tickets to Melbourne to see my boy :grin: 10 days to go!

[Tar-Vanimelde]

:grin: say hiya for me....:p hey, I think I go home in 10 days.......countdown!

heehee, good, brave Icey, everyone look at the pics....Rob´s such a pretty horse ;)

SAH- oooch! eat lots of icecream, and remember, the pain will fade, and it´ll all be over soon :smooch:

#Vani

[Lady Luthien]

:elfeek: That's no fun, Sam!! I hope you feel better soon!

Nice poem, Vani! Very true. It's like the pills they make for losing weight! Come on, that's so wrong. Just exercise and eat right :p It seems like society gets lazier every day lol And more dependent on things like pills.

Well...right now I'm extremely excited b/c I just found out who my roommate is!! veryhappy I just wrote her a really long e-mail, but then I just decided, what the hell? I'll call her! But I have to wait till after nine for free long distance. She lives in Alabama! :grin: I can't wait to talk to her!!

[Tar-Vanimelde]

heh, sad but true, huh? :p
mm, sounds cool! I have no idea who mine´ll be yet :o I wish I did, it´d be nice to talk to her.....lemme know if yours is nice and all that ;)

#Vani

[Lady Luthien]

Actually, in typical fashion for me, I chickened out lol. I thought of what I might say on the phone, and then envisioned a long, awkward silence. I think I'll exchange a few e-mails first and then try the phone lol Hey at least I'm taking the intiative! I know she got the letter before me b/c she lives closer to Tennessee. But when I do communicate with her, I'll be sure to tell you how she sounds. At least she has a normal name, and she's from a normal place, and she has a normal sounding street address lol Is that too many normals to make a normal person?? Ok I'm freaking out, but when you talk to your roommate, you have to tell me about her too! Whoohoo, this is so exciting!! Good luck with everything!

btw great piccies, Icey!

[Tar-Vanimelde]

lol awkward silences can be rough...but yeah, emails are still good ;) but work up to it....and after all, you´re going to be LIVING together, so a phone conversation is a minor step lol

#Vani

[Lady Luthien]

lol yea I know I'll eventually call her. I'm shy about people I don't know, ok?? lol I went to a private school where I already had a best friend and didn't have to make new friends because I just automatically integrated into her group of friends, so I'm a bit out of practice I'm afraid lol I really really hope she's nice...I don't enjoy rude, mean people lol

[Tar-Vanimelde]

who does? lol and I don´t know if I was talking to you or myself just then.....I´m hideously shy......lol hey, wanna room together? lol :p

#Vani

[Lady Luthien]

lol sure, why not? Too bad we'll be no where near each other lol But I think we'd make good roommates. Oh yea, I hope she's clean too lol I've heard so many horror stories about nasty roommates, I'm quite frightened of the possibilities :elfeek: And I hope she doesn't steal my stuff or stay up all night and sneak her boyfriend in all the time lol I have to think of all these bad things, because then she can never be worse than what I expected! lol

[Tar-Vanimelde]

LOL sounds like a plan....and man, if I end up with a roomie like you, that´d be perfect! I´m a bit nervous about getting a spaz :p

#Vani

[Catz]

tiiiiiiiiiiired
been tryin ALL day to sleep...............EVERYtime i dropped off someone woke me up..............and its gonna cost me over $200.00 for a new tyre.......and thats without pick up and labour costs............FUN *sighs*
AND my comp chair is busted.............welcome to the wondrous romp thru the lillies of life that is my life ;) lol
:catz:

[Bawax]

sorry dear, i had a good day and whats more i've slept for 10 hours today, normally thats 2 nights sleep for me, i'm gonna be hyperactive later i know it, better get drunk. :thumbs:

[Black Rider]

i'm sad :( my computer won't download those ROTK EE clips for me :( it's rather annoying.

as for sleep... i've had enough i guess. it's summer :p i always sleep a lot in summer. it's just too darn hot to do anything else

[Lady Luthien]

Well, I just found out that I have scoliosis(sp?). My doctor said that b/c I was 18 and had already finished growing for the most part that it shouldn't get much worse, and that she thought it already wasn't very bad. But I'm still freaking out here! I mean if it's severe, I may have to get surgery b/c it could make my ribs crush into my heart! So until I get the results of the x-rays, I'm going to be a nervous wreck!!! And on top of that I have to finish my essay and I'm not getting off work until 7:00 mecry

[Elenwë]

Oh, I'm sorry Lt, I hope everything turns out ok *hugs*

Classes start tmorrow pfbbt please nooooo

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Yikes, LL, that´s horrible *hugs you gently* ;) I hope everything´s ok, let us know when you find out.....:o

B- hey hey hot stuff *buys you a drink* hyper, huh? sounds good ;)

kitz- hey, now you can get yourself a nice new chair, even more comfy than the old one.......and new tires mean you can ride even faster, right? lol

today I feel silly for how I felt yesterday and over the weekend......:p

#vani

[Catz]

im asleep...............at least i am inside *yawns*
im exhausted.......just wrestling with an issue that kinda upset me over the last couple of days........i REALLY should stop thinking
hey LL itll be fine............youve done growing so the chances of complications are minimal girl, but i know how wracking it ca be just waiting to see........been there, done that
yeah, and by the time ive paid for the chair and the bike.............well, food??? who needs it!!! only sissies eat anyway ;)
:catz:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

exactly! see, you got it all worked out.....lol
and yep, stop thinking.....it´s not how you see it.........*hugs* go to bed (lol I know it´s morning for you, but hey lol) and you´ll maybe feel better.......

#Vani

[Tar-Vanimelde]

ok, hate to double post, but no one´s posted since I did last, so TECHNICALLY it´s everyone else´s fault, not mine........:p

and am I paranoid or is this really happening to me......? I think a guy on my bus line is stalking me, he came up to me yesterday when I was going home and started talking ot me, saying that he sees me all the time on this bus and he wanted to know what I´m doing in Merida, where I´m going to school, what I do in the evenings......he even asked me what time I catch the bus in the morning. And I REALLY didn´t like the way he was looking at me.........gah, leave me alone!!!! maybe it´s nothing, maybe he´s just friendly, but after some of the things that´ve happened to me here..........

#Vani

[Night Wolf]

Say something to the people who organise your classes Vani, seriously when you start seeing someone more then a few times in the same places, his talked to you alarm bells should go off...I'll PM you anyhoo...

I feel better now, gonna goto work tomorrow so thats all good :)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

lol I can´t complain if that´s his bus home........what am I supposed to do, say "no, you can´t ride this bus?" lol but yeah, I think I´m gonna talk to someone about it....I´m just so sick of all this crap.......

Glad you´re feeling better, sweets

#Vani

[Night Wolf]

well it could be nothing, but better safe then sorry...guys are disgusting creatures for the most part, and thats what scares me ;)

and told ya i'd get better quick ;)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Heh, I get all jumpy walking around now.......even if it´s not late. Which SUCKS, I hate being suspicious of every guy who walks past me......I just can´t help it. I bet I´m making it all up.........but that doesn´t change how weirded out I feel :(

#Vani

PS...and crazy crazy, my double postes were EXACTLY 12 hours apart ;) shows you how long I can go computerless lol

[Night Wolf]

Suspicion will keep you safe hon, just practice extra caution and dont stick around someplace that you dont feel safe at...and CABS hon, if the bus seems a little weird waiting for just grab a cab home ;) you know we all want you to be safe...

and lol pretty nice coincidence :p

[Lady Luthien]

Thanks guys, for your support :smooch: I just needed to be with a friend yesterday, and hanging out with her made me feel better. If worse comes to worse, I'll just have to get surgery, but that's not very likely. I'm getting x-rayed today, so I'm a bit nervous about that, but I'm not a wreck like I was yesterday lol I realized my life wasn't over ;) And I talked to my roommate :grin: She seems really nice and confident and NORMAL, normal. That puts me at ease lol And we have so much in common...English is her favorite subject and she loves to read and write and watch movies, and she hates math. We couldn't be more alike in that respect lol She also likes fantasy and HP. I can't wait to meet her!! veryhappy
I also met a guy last night, and he was so cute and nice but then I found out that he was 38!! Why does this always happen to me?? lol Apparently he thought I was a lot older than I am :p I won't really know what to say if he calls me...I don't want to blow him off just b/c of age, but I mean come on, we would barely be legal lol

[Ewanfan]

Good luck LL :thumbs:

I´m little bit nervous because my camp begins tomorrow.......a WEEK without TV, computer and WOTR.... :o :elfeek:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

LL yay, I´m glad you´re feeling better about the whole thing.... and as to the roommate, does that mena you´re ditching me? lol lol Cool, it´s nice that you have stuff in common ;)

ef- but we´ll miss you! :o ah well, a week isn´t too long.......heh, or so I keep telling myself....:p

I´m feeling better, I talked to some people about how to avoid the guys here.....pretend I speak only french ;) ........walk around with headphones on, esp on the bus, even if I´m not listening to stuff.....some not-so-offensive words to say go away.....;) so I´m not as freaked out as I was this morning (and last night)

#Vani

[Lady Luthien]

LL yay, I´m glad you´re feeling better about the whole thing.... and as to the roommate, does that mena you´re ditching me? lol lol
#Vani

lol I'm sorry my friend, but I'm afraid I must do just that. However, if you'd like to transfer over to Sewanee, we'll be sure to make room for you in our dorm! lol (if that's possible...they're quite small lol)
And I'm glad your feeling better about your situation. I guess the best thing you can do is just ignore them, and if that doesn't work take the advice of your friends ;)

I got to see my x-ray...there seems to be only a slight curve...I was imagining all these horrible images in my head of some mangled spine in the shape of a question mark lol I'm not an expert in analysing x-rays, but it seems to me it can't be in abosultely horrible condition, and I don't have frequent back pain or anything. But I don't wanna jinx it, so I'm gunna keep worrying till I get the results lol

[LuthienT]

Good luck Lady Luthien! I hope everything goes well! :smooch: Today I am happy and tired. I am getting things done that need to get done. :grin: Have fun at camp EF! We will miss having you around..:smooch:

[Elenwë]

Good luck LL! I hope everything is ok *hugs*

I'm so tired, I woke up at 4:40 a.m. and headed to Uni, it's been a while since I had to go on a bus pfbbt hate it!. It was good to see my friends again and laugh like crazy for every little thing, I had fun today, I missed them.

Hi Lt! Hey Vani! :smooch:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

heh, all I CAN take is buses and cabs...my host family doesn´t have a car......I relish the thought of being back behind the wheel of my own little conveyance ;)

But other than feeling miffed cause LL´s dumped me lol :p I´m excited.....I´m going to a folk ballet tonight at a local theater...coolness!

#Vani

[LuthienT]

Hiya Elenwe! :smooch: I am glad you had fun with your friends today. :trout: Vani I hope you have fun at the Ballet, that sounds like fun! I still feel the same that I did last time I was here. lol pfbbt

[Mirkgirl]

Hope everything goes well LL (:... Dont freak out but keep an watchful eye Vani... might be innocent might be not... and Im sure you'll survive EF... tho I'd swap with you gladly... I want a holiday :P

Im feeling great... had a good night out dancing (tho the music wasnt great)... got a positive reply from one of the unis... Im currently celebrating with beer and chips LOL

[SamwiseAtHeart]

I feel good today, The places where my wisdom teeth used to be are healing well and I'm feeling super.

[Lady Luthien]

But other than feeling miffed cause LL´s dumped me lol :p I´m excited.....I´m going to a folk ballet tonight at a local theater...coolness!
#Vani

aww I was j/k sweets I would never truly dump you lol! :smooch: Even though we'll be at diff colleges, we can always hang out at WoTR ;) And have fun at the ballet! :grin:

ok the guy that's twice my age DID call me...he was like what are you doing after work...what am I supposed to do?? I don't wanna be rude, but I also don't want to go out with someone that's the same age as the couple I babysit for lol..kind of a strange situation there lol But it's so annoying b/c he's pretty cute(I think...I did meet him at a bar and it was dark lol) and he is nice and he doesn;t look anywhere close to his age and he has a good personality. Ooh...and he's in a band :grin: I swear, every decent guy I meet is either too old for me, lives in a different country, gay, or simply not interested in me!!!

[Elenwë]

LL, I know that story BELIEVE ME!... my advice is... give it a try, go out with him and see if he's worth it, it could be weird because of his age but who knows, but be careful 'cause... you never know ;)

I have my first asignment and I'm feeling so lazy! that's not good... at all!

Congrats Mirky ;)

[Aragorn's Hope]

I am really tired today. I can't seem to fall asleep at night and plus night makes me really nevorus. Can you give me any good advice?

[Ice Dragoness]

Drink chammomile tea, that usually makes you sleepy ;)

I'm tired, did lots of shopping today and mum is about to enter me in a few million competitions until the end of the year....this is gonna take a few hours to do lol

[Bawax]

B- hey hey hot stuff *buys you a drink* hyper, huh? sounds good ;)
#vani
hello gorgeous, hows the mid american sun treating you now? have you got the type of tan that will still be better then mine in a years time? :)

today i feel like going to sleep, i got in this morning at 4am, woke up at 11 and was in the pub for 12. at least i'm home and ready for nothing now though, i can hear my pillow calling me and its sounding pretty damn attractive. ;)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

hiya ;) weeeeeell, I´m tan, but it fades as fast as it comes :( :p normally, I´m as white as you lol
Pillows are my best friends......too bad my fav´s at home....but I have a date with it in like A WEEK :whoohoo:

the ballet was awesome, I was completely blown away by the costumes and such.....cool times :grin:

#Vani

[Catz]

up til about an hour ago i felt fine..............now i feel sad
SSDD ;)
:catz:

[Lady Luthien]

LL, I know that story BELIEVE ME!... my advice is... give it a try, go out with him and see if he's worth it, it could be weird because of his age but who knows, but be careful 'cause... you never know ;)

I invited him to come out w/my friends last night(and intentionally did not mention his age lol) and pretty much gathered that there's just nothing there to make me go to the trouble to see him again. I hate it when you meet someone in a dark place and think they're cuter and nicer than they really are lol I hope I didn't lead him on, but that spark just isn't there.

[Tar-Vanimelde]

LL- eh, probably for the best......easier that way, especially with the age thing lol
Catz- *hugs* I know............ wish I could do something more....

#Vani

[Elenwë]

Yeap, if there's no spark there's pretty much nothing to do, it's better off that way.
Kitty, please feel better *hugs*

People like my new hairdo, I'm glad and guess what! remember the guy I had a crush on, the one that looks like Axel Rose? well he's back in Uni and when I saw him I felt reeeeally nervous, I hate when that happens but man! he's cute. Other than that, Uni is going well, teachers are fine and I'm having a good time there.

By the way... I'm melting! pfbbt... but summer is nice :cool:

[Aragorn's Hope]

I'm feeling better :) I will try that tea tonight. :)

[Ice Dragoness]

I have another competition tomorrow, cant wait! It's something I havent done on my horse before, so it'll be a good change for him :grin:

My parents are fighting so I'm avoiding leaving the computer room *sigh*

[Catz]

good luck hon :thumbs: hell be good ;)
im tired..............i DONT wanna go to work.................i DO however NEED to be paid lol
man life sucks at times ;)
:catz:

[Mirkgirl]

at times? I'll take your word for it

*scampers off to write hw*

[Black Rider]

oh man... yesterday i went to the shore, which was lots of fun. but today i woke up and i feel very sore. i kept getting caught in the huge waves and then i'd get thrown around, and all my friends would stand there laughing lol. well, i'll admit it was quite funny... hahaah. i also got a bit of a sunburn... ouchies!

[Elenwë]

That sounds like fun :) (except for the sore and the sunburnt)

Last night I went to see a movie, it was in a park with a big screen, I had so much fun, the movie was sad but I enjoyed it.

Hi Kitty! :)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Icey- what´re you doing? higher jumps? heehee, Rob´ll be good
Kitz- that´s what being up at 4 am can do to you :p not that I was helping :shhh:
Mirks- heh, know that feeling all too well.............and finals are monday and tuesday! :o
br- laughing makes it all good, huh? ;)
elen- ahhh, take me with you next time, I miss movies! lol

and today I feel..................like _________________.................tis true, kinda empty

#Vani

[LuthienT]

Icey-Good luck at the competition!
Catz-life does suck sometimes but they have to suck to have the good days as well.
:smooch: Vani I hope you feel better dear!
Today I feel crazy! I have a lot of things to do! I leave Friday for a trip and I have to start getting ready!

[White Lady of Rohan]

I hope you have a fun trip.

I'm really excited for my trip. We leave on Saturday! :grin:

[LuthienT]

Thanks! I hope you have a fun trip as well! :smooch:

[Elenwë]

Have fun! ;)

Vani, please feel better... what's wrong? *hugs*

I'm extremely tired and it's one pf my friends birthday and she asked me to go out with her and her boyfriend, I'm asleep... and I can't say no... I have to leave in like 10 minutes mecry... I don't want to, I need my bed mecry

[Aragorn's Hope]

Yeah know what you mean. I just need to get a brand new soft bed. lol Guess what my dog is scare of firecracks. My neighbors keeps shooting them off and I read to call Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli to take care of them for me!!! lol I can assume my neighbors will knock it off after our 3 friends get down with them!!!!! :grin:

[LuthienT]

lol I hope it works! *Hands Elenwe some coffee* Have fun at the party and look forward to sleeping later! :grin:

[Night Wolf]

I had fun last night and so did my friend, which is the idea. I danced a lot but I was pretty tired tho. The place was crowded, it was great and the music... brillian!, thanks LT for the coffee, it worked perfectly :smooch:

[Eowyn]

Good luck everyone.

I feel sleepy. I think I shall wash my hair tonight rather tan get up even earlier tomorrow. I've got 10 hours answering calls
*yawns*
It wouldn't be so bad if the calls didn't keep interupting my conversations with other staff lol a bit like how schools are better without the students ;)

[Aragorn's Hope]

Glad the party went well.

[Catz]

im tired............and ive had this damned headache all nite that keeps threatening to turn into a migraine, but doesnt................back of my neck hurts lol
on the bright side tho...........1 more nite and then im off for a few days, so thats good
:catz:

[Aragorn's Hope]

Well wine, beer and other stuff like that will do that to you. :rolleyes: Not that I'm saying you do.

[LuthienT]

*Hands Catz some pain pills and a big glass of water* Feel better Catz, just look forward to the few days off! :grin: Good luck to everyone! :smooch: *Hands Eowyn some coffee and Ice some Aloe Vera cream* Glad the coffee worked Elenwe and you had fun! :grin: Today I am a bit tired, I was out almost all day long, but doing pretty good! :grin::cool:

[Aragorn's Hope]

Well I work tommrrow. :grin:

[LuthienT]

Hope you have a good day at work! :grin:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Ugh, my brain is mush..........I can´t remember who asked, but I´ve just been feeling really run down lately, plus not sleeping well -> headaches.....*steals some of the meds LT gave Catz* ;) But I spent WAY too much money on myself on silver yesterday, which made me happy lol plus I got the lowdown on my plans for when I get home on Friday....off again on Saturday! :wiggle: I´m gonna be knackered, but it´ll be worth it.

Catz- sounds like you´ll be able to get some much needed rest, hon.........hope the headache fades.....
Icey- coolness! sounds like fun......... :grin: pics? :grin:
Mirks- thanks...:o I´m just a wee bit stressed :p and have you heard from more schools yet?
Wolfie- cool cars, sweets....:thumbs:
*hugs Lt, Elen, Eowyn, and AH*

#Vani

[LuthienT]

*Hugs Vani* It may not hurt to try to take a seista today dear! :smooch: Hope you feel better! Try to enjoy the rest of your time there for it will be over soon. :grin: Spending money on yourself is worth it! :grin: Nothing wrong with treating yourself everyone once and awhile. :cool:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

*hugs back* ;) I think siestas are part of the problem lol I´m so tired when I get home from school, I crash but it´s too hot to sleep well, but then I don´t sleep at night. :blush: Whoops, it´s not like you all can do much..... I´ll stop lol

mmm, and I´m psyched about going out to Washington.....I was really bummed when I thought we weren´t gonna go :grin:

#Vani

[LuthienT]

I am sorry you aren't sleeping well! :smooch: It sucks with the heat added in. Look forward to being home and maybe try of thinking of a cold place! :( Have fun in Washington! :grin:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

thinking of a cold place = washington :grin: so I can simply think about this time next week :grin:

#Vani

[Ice Dragoness]

No pics yet Vani, they had a pro photographer there so I'm waiting for them to come online and see if she got me and my very sloooooooow barrel racing run cuz I was a bit worried about ending up on my butt with the sharp turns we were doing...lol

Cold place= here
It was freezing this morning, so my dad took pity on my aches and pains and fed my pony for me :grin:

I have bruises all over my legs today, its funny poking them....so my brother thinks so....though I doubt he'd think it was funny when I punch him for doing it lol

[LuthienT]

That was nice of your dad Ice! :grin: *Hands Icey a blanket at Ice packs* lol I don't think punching your brother would help though. :p

[Catz]

tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire d *yawns*
should be doing a workout.............heheh guess ill do one tomorrow and one the next day to make up lol
and personally i feel that you should get course credits for being able to understand the course info from most tertiary institutions......leastways you should when youre trying to figure it out when youre asleep ;) lol
tho i suspect being awake wouldnt help much ;)
:catz:

[Mirkgirl]

LOL poor kitster... can't you write to them and ask for help?.... and I know the workouts routine

Not yet Vanster... bloody unis being s_l_o_w... or is it bloody post being s__l__o__w... it takes 5-6 days to get from germany to here. A pigeon would be faster for erus sake. At any rate I'm still waiting.. and waiting... ugh there was the doorbell agian but not the postwoman... :(

I got up before noon today. I really should get some more normal sleeping schedule. I also should get studying. And I should get to buying the stuff for Germany. Ahem.

[Night Wolf]

http://members.cardomain.com/night_wolf_83 <---my car page :p

Today I feel good cause tomorrow I will be taking a car trailor down to pick my car up...after school that is. my teacher is really cool and the work is SIMPLE!!! I mean its oxy welding, silver soldering and brazing...read very easy!!! I feel a little tired getting up so early but its not bad when my teacher took off at 2pm and said do this booklet then go home lol.

I also put my second car in the paper so that hopefully will sell QUICKELY!!! otherwise my car "mary jane" (lol I just wanted to name my car that) wont be able to get worked on till it does...

[Bawax]

today i just feel bland, nothing interesting to say, nothing interesting done, nothing interesting planned.

zzzzzzzz........... :thumbs:

[Catz]

*pokes B with something sharp*
just wondered if youd move
im having a crap nite...........one silly tart that i work with has decided to throw a major tantrum and walk out
so not only do we have to put up with her causing trouble we also have to do her work
grrrrrrrrrrrrrr :verymad:
:catz:

[Bawax]

and theres me off work now until sunday, hehehe.

i had a great day yesterday, we made a pool at work and spent a bit of time in there and then played volleyball and then back in the pool. :grin:

[Catz]

well just to stay on topic right now i feel like *produces her zippo and sets light to a corner of B*.........wanting to find out if firemen burn ;)
:catz:

[Bawax]

statistically on days off were more likely to get burned then members of the public cause we don't worry about stuff apparantly. :huh:

you can try and burn me but i'm hot stuff already so it won't make a difference. :p

damn i'm turning cheesy. lol

[Catz]

*gags and decides she doesnt need to smell burning cheeze*
fine............be like that *retreats to the corner with a bottle of scotch and pulls her blanket over her head*
:catz:

[Bawax]

whats up today dear? you seem in a bit of a funny mood, plus loads of talk about booze. are you drunk and easily swayed at the moment? :naughty: lol

oh and saturday night i confronted a fear of mine, i was friendly with a big girl, she was about 6'1 and had heels on and before you say anything i saw her birth certificate too so i knew what was in front of me. :p

[Catz]

i WISH i was drunk..and that silly tart tonite has really upset my nite........and ill have to talk to the supervisor about it and i dont want to bother and im tired and ................grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
;)
:catz:




you ASKED her for her BIRTH certificate???

and LIVED????

[Bawax]

lol yep i did, she was up for a laugh anyway either that or the fact that shes only been in england for 4 weeks could mean she thought it was a local custom. :huh:

dont get stressed dear, just try and have my attitude to things, if no one gets hurt then nothing matters in my eyes, i ignore most things now. :grin:

[Catz]

sometimes they do tho.....even if no one means to
ok now im raving *puts up her "please feed this woman whisky" sign*
my trouble is everything hurts me..or at least it feels like it at times
:catz:

[Bawax]

awww :cuddles: try and relax honey, a decent nights sleep and a bit of unwinding would do you good, or get a punchbag, thats what i do to de stress. :grin:

[Catz]

you wanna visit?
KIDDING!!!
*looks for someone else to beat on*
:catz:

[Bawax]

hehehe, beat on me if you like honey just leave the soft parts alone and it probably wont make any lasting impact. ;)

[Catz]

ok...............cmere then...*rolls up her sleeves*..............i feel in the need of a little theraputic beating
:catz:

[Bawax]

yes mistress, oops, not in the sauna again am i? :o lol

oh and not the nose either, its been done enough times in its 23 years. :)

[Elenwë]

I have like 1000 things to do... but it's all good, I'll hadle it (I don't wanna tho)

[Catz]

no not the nose....how many times have i told YOU to be careful of your nose?
id hate to undo all the hard work of your surgeon
:catz:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

:grin: kitz........:grin:
lol nice to have you back and posting, B :smooch:

I feel terrible, I´m panicking about my spanish final tomorrow.......some people from my class tried to get me to go out drinking tonight, saying I need to relax....pah, that wouldn´t help me much............*sits staring at spanish worksheets and fretting*

but other than that, something I´ve been concerned about recently might be clearing up...I´m not sure, but there´s hope :thumbs:

#Vani

[Catz]

hey good luck with the spanish Vani............sorry i wasnt on this morning......had a hell nite so i went to bed for once
and ive gotta go in early tonite to see my supervisor about the silly cow from last nite verymad.............why cant people act like grown ups occasionally?
and i dunno.......the underlying prob is still there, even if things do look back to normal
:catz:

[Tirithel]

HAH! I don't have to worry about Spanish again for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time! That is until one of my 80 new cousins sends me an email- my stepmom's got a lot of family, and only two of them talk ingles. *sigh*

Otherwise, if you overlook the funky, smelly mess that is my house (the roomies didn't deign to clean while I was gone. They did replace the shower curtain, which was nice.), the buttload of sweaty laundry that I have to do (everything is uphill in Cusco- EVERYTHING), registering for classes, unpacking, re-packing for the move and actually moving, I'm just peachy. :grin:

*flops over, asleep* :snooze:

[Black Rider]

i really don't feel well today.... well scratch that.... right now.... i have to choose my courses for uni in 15 minutes and well i have no way of knowing whether they are full or not until my "start time" at 8:45 so i thought i'd go there early and see what's left for me but i can't log on to the system until my time so i have to sit here are wait and wait and wait and wait.... for a whole 15 minutes which is not very long but it just feels sooooo looooooooooooong.....

*keels over and dies* there now i don't have to worry about classes, because i'm dead lol

[Night Wolf]

I'm happy :)

[LuthienT]

Vani good luck to you! :smooch: Don't worry Black Rider! Whatever happens it will all turn out! :smooch: Today I am happy, I am going out with a couple of friends soon, not to mention I got a lot done yesterday to get ready to go on my trip! :grin:

[Lady Luthien]

Have fun on your trip, LT! And tell us all about it when you get back! :grin:

Ok I'm really sick of being treated the way I am by my best friend. Yea, she's my best friend and nothing will ever change that fact, but you know what? I don't deserve to be bossed around or pressured into something that I don't feel comfortable doing just so she can have someone to talk to on the way to her little vacation. I had already told her I might not be able to go, and then in her little fake voice she was like, "ok that's fine, no pressure." No pressure my ***! I tried so hard to find a replacement for me so I could go on this little vacation for her...some 2 day vacation...I'm a nanny...there aren't others already available to sub for me and all of my friends have jobs. I called like 6 different people and none of them could do it, so I thought, ok it's Tuesday, I'm supposed to be leaving Friday, if I can't find someone now I'm just not going to go b/c it's not fair to the people I work for(Something SHE never seems to care about). So I call her and tell her I tried really hard to find someone, but no one was available and I'm sorry but I couldn't go. And she acts like I just killed her parents. I wish you could hear how she said it, writing it does no justice. She was like, "what did Mrs Devine say when you told her?" And I said I hadn't asked her yet, I didn't want to unless I already had a replacement b/c that's the responsible thing to do. And she was like "You DIDN'T ask her????" And then goes on and on trying to cover up her b*tchyness but shes such a terrible lier it makes it even worse when she's fake nice. I mean she sees nothing from my point of view. She's being totally selfish, going back on her word, and making me feel guilty for being responsible and doing the right thing. And I'd have to pay my replacement with MY money, while my friend loses no money b/c she's already quit work. So it's not even worth going, really. Until she apologizes I will do nothing. Sorry I just had to get that out. lol It's always been something I didn't like about her and until now I let her pressure me into anything b/c it was easier than hearing her whine and complain. Two weeks ago I would have been on the phone day and night trying to find someone until I was blue in the face, or even asked Mrs Devine if I could have that time off and make HER find someone! But today, I've had enough and no matter how mad she gets, or how bad and guilty she makes me feel, I'm doing what I think is right. She can be a spoiled bratt and see where it gets her.

[Black Rider]

it sounds to me, LL, that you are doing the responsible thing. i babysit as well, and if i can't get a cover for me for a social event with my friends, then i don't go to the social event. i hope she understands this eventually. and if she doesn't well then there's nothing really that you can do about it. it think you handled everything well :p

oh, and thanks LT :) i got there early and got all my first choices! what a relief *sigh*

[Elenwë]

LL don't worry, you did the right thing, you don't have to stand her spoilness, you can do whatever you want to, don't let her attitude affect you :)

I had an argument with my parents, I know 'm right... but still they expect me to apologize, i hate to do that when I don't think I'm the one supossed to apologize, I felt offended by the things they said, mostly because it's not true and they know that verymad

I'll get started with my ad work, see ya guys

Good luck by the way Vani ;)

[Lady Luthien]

it sounds to me, LL, that you are doing the responsible thing. i babysit as well, and if i can't get a cover for me for a social event with my friends, then i don't go to the social event. i hope she understands this eventually. and if she doesn't well then there's nothing really that you can do about it. it think you handled everything well :p

Well, I could have done without hanging up on her in the middle of our conversation, and all day I've been in a bad mood and eating chocolate, so...not really but thanks for thinking I did lol

then she has the nerve to sign onto aol and not say a word to me, and then put up an away message that says "ugh, what a bad day". Unbelievable. It's a bad day b/c she can't handle things that don't go her way without making everyone else feel terrible, and then naturally people respond in an unpleasant way! I hope for her sake she will realize this some day. And it's screwing everything up...i just made friends with her friends from work...but she knows them better than me. And when they get back from vacation they'll call her first and then I won't be able to hang out w/them b/c I bet everyone here 10000 dollars she won't have apologized. She's gunna have ME apologizing to HER just so I can get on with my life. I wish she could see the effects of her spoiledness. Yea, I know that's not a word but I just made it one.

[LuthienT]

Bye Elenwe! Try talking to your parents. Lady Luthien I know it may not be my place and I don't know this friend at all but you are doing the right thing and if your friend was a true friend she would not act that way towards you, you deserve better! :smooch: I am glad to hear eveything went well Black Rider!

[Lady Luthien]

Thanks, but you can't say she's not a true friend. But I can understand your advice because you don't know the whole situation. We've known each other forever and know each other better than we know ourselves, and I'll always love her, no matter what! Our relationship is so strong that things like these will eventually pass over and we will remain friends. This is just the way she is, I don't think she does it on purpose. It's just that this time, I didn't take it. I didn't take her crap and I hope that she realized it. If she didn't I guess once again I'll have to call and apologize b/c it's not worth losing a friendship over. I can't change her no matter what I do, and I just have to accept that. She doesn't like this about herself either, and she told me she was trying to change it. I just gave her a friendly reminder that she might want to try a little harder. I think part of the problem is her parents spoil her and she's an only child so she hasn't had siblings to deal with like I have. So it's not really all her fault.

[Tar-Vanimelde]

But today, I've had enough and no matter how mad she gets, or how bad and guilty she makes me feel, I'm doing what I think is right. and here you were talking about giving in to peer pressure! :thumbs: go you, LL, with an attitude like that, it´s easier to do what IS right :grin: :rose:

Kitz- I see....well, from my pov it´s better than before :grin: and don´t fret about not being on, I was just antsy cause of my spanish thing........

...........which is OVER!!! the TORTURE IS OVER........:wiggle: I got an 84.5 % on the final, too (if the oral is worth as much as the written... and who knows :huh: ) but knowing that I got a solid B in the class has me totally happy.............heh, who´d´ve thought I´d be this happy with a B? ( I tend to be a bit more of a perfectionist) :p But I´m even going to the party tonight, which just tells you all that I´m in a crazy mood :p

#Vani

[LuthienT]

Sorry aboutt that. I know it wasn't my place to say that. Your right in the fact that one big fight is not worth losing a friendship over (and marriage is the same way later on) Maybe it would be best if you talked it out a little more. Friendship is all about finding an agreement at both ends and you should possibly explain to her your job situation, etc. I am glad you did not give in to that kind of peer pressuse thought! OK I will stop there. :blush: Congrats Vani! :smooch: We are all proud of you! :smooch: Today I was happy and everything but now I feel pfbbt I have a headache!

[Tar-Vanimelde]

nooope, no headaches allowed! :smooch: have some water, maybe it´s dehydration lol take a break from whatever you´re doing and sit back remembering all the good stuff that happened today :grin:

Thanks! I´m sure it was all your goodluck wishes, sweets :smooch:

#Vani

[LuthienT]

lol Funny because usually I am bad luck! lol Thanks sweets!:smooch: Just need a little get away and that's what my vacation is. :grin: I took some meds and I am starting to feel a little better.

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Nope, you´re good luck for me ;)

and I´m smiling cause the lady who runs this place is being really cute and making faces at me through the window (she´s outside washing it) it´s got me laughing. Heehee, she always smiles and waves at me when I come up......she KNOWS I´m good business lol heh, I´m gonna miss her.....

#Vani

[Lady Luthien]

oh no...I am so weak! lol Everyone was congratulating me for not giving in but I just gave in. My anger/standing up for myself gig only lasted about two hours. I couldn't take it anymore so I called my other friend and asked her to babysit for me, and then I called my best friend and apologized to HER, she didn't apologize, she was just like I was in a bad mood...but there was something I didn;t know at the moment: her bf of two years who shes madly in love with is randomly leaving for the rest of the summer and she's going to college in the fall! They decided not to date while she was in college so they may never see each other again! So she's upset about that and after I called her and said I couldnt come I guess it was her last straw, so I can understand. It just wasn't worth it to stay mad at her...poor thing she almost cried on the phone, I think I'm just gunna go hug her! lol In situations like these, there's always something you don't know that makes it make sense. I'm glad I found out what it is.
LT: don't worry about it hon! I would have said the same thing given the limited info there was!

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Awwww, well in that case I´m glad you said something to her, sounds like she might need you right now.........I´m glad you found out too :smooch:

and I just got a pm from someone I´ve been missing :wiggle: fun fun

#Vani

[LuthienT]

Yes Same here! :smooch: It's not easy when not knowing the whole situation. I hope your friend recovers from the break up quickly It's not easy. Your not weak, your friend needs you and you are a wonderful friend and is going to be there for her.

[Lady Luthien]

Thanks, but I was going to give in before I knew about the breakup. It was only after I called I learned why she was upset. I guess I never find it worth it to stay mad at her, even if it was her fault and she doesn't apologize, I don't care. Our friendship and the good times together make all the anger and drama petty. I knew there was something else missing...it didn't feel right for her to act that way just b/c I couldn't go, so I just had to see what was up. Well, glad this is cleared up lol

[LuthienT]

I still don't see that as weak! I can understand its hard to stay mad at friends. Now its all cleared up! Still feel bad, headache is a bit worse and I found out some shocking news.

[Tar-Vanimelde]

yeah....................:( Catz, you´re going to be greatly missed.....:(

#Vani

[LuthienT]

Yea, Catz we'll miss you lots! mecry You are a wonderful person! May the Valar smile upon you always.

[Lady Luthien]

I know...I was utterly shocked when I found out! But we should probably only talk about it amongst ourselves privately b/c we don't know the whole situation and we don't want to start any rumors.

LT: maybe not weak, it's just that sometimes I do stuff to please people b/c I hate people to be mad at me. Of course if it was something major and I knew I was right, then I would take the anger, but this wasn't the case. I just feel that sometimes I'm a walkover and never let people know how hurt I feel. But I guess sometimes that can be a good thing.

btw Vani congrats for finishing Spanish!!! entdraught to that! :smooch:

[Bawax]

today i feel like i've been handed a major s*** sandwich, yesterday i buried one of my best mates and spent 3 hours trying to comfort his gf who's considering suicide and today another of my mates has been crapped on because of a lot of petty nothingness.

[LuthienT]

Lady Luthien sometimes it is but maybe try to tell your feelings a little more, its not easy to get walked on. *Hugs Bawax* I am so sorry about your friend Bawax. I hope there is a quick heal for you and his girlfriend. It's not easy dealing with death, but there are things worth living for.:smooch: Today, well I was happy due to the fact that I got more done and now I am just relaxing for a bit.

[Tar-Vanimelde]

this is one of those days when I wish this all wasn´t cyber..................there are a lot of people I wish I could talk to face to face :(
*hugs B* you know I´m here if you need to talk, sweets.

#Vani

[Lady Luthien]

I know, Vani. I have a lot of friends that don't live near me and our only way of communication is the phone or im, and it can get so old. I can't wait until I'm living on my own and I could visit them whenever I want.
But today I'm pretty happy b/c I found out the results of my x-ray...I don't have to have surgery! veryhappy
I'm also disturbed b/c in the past two weeks...like 4 guys have asked for my number and none of them I would ever consider going out with. Why can't a normal guy like me??? You don't ask someone for their number at a gas station at night, you really really don't. I saw one of my brother's friends at the club today and he was pretty cute, apparently I had met him somewhere but I didn't remember....he was nice but I couldn't tell if he was into me or not. The only person I would have wanted to have asked for my number didn't. :rolleyes: I hope it's better in college...

[Tar-Vanimelde]

It can´t help but be better if that´s what you´re working from lol

and :hooray: on the x-ray!

#Vani

[Elenwë]

LL I'm glad about the results.

I know what you mean, I wish a normal guy or at least one that I like back would sk for my number, men are so darn weird!.

I'm exahusted, thank God tomorrow it's my day off. I went to a mall with some friends today... I need money, I saw the most beautiful corderoy jacket, it made me wanna cry... I guess I'll have to borrow some money... from my parents *gets on her knees and die*

[Lady Luthien]

lol that will be me all year long at college...i have so much more stuff to buy its not even funny...and I'm not good at saving up so go figure

[Ewanfan]

I´m back!!! :) I´m sooo relief now......... :grin:

[Bawax]

today i think its time i took a break from this site, no kitty means the site is diminished from my point of view as she was one of the few to tolerate me. :)

i, wont say goodbye cause i could be back some time but me posting when i'm annoyed isn't a smart idea cause no one like poorly spelt swear words, least of all me.

Vani, i'll email you as soon as i can and i'll try to keep in touch, i'll catch any of you others about whenever i next pop in unless you want to msn me but if you don't know it then tough, you'll have to guess.

Bonjour! :p

[LuthienT]

Welcome Back EF! We missed you! :smooch: Bawax we'll miss having you around! :smooch: Come back soon! On that note I am off too on Vacation! ROAD TRIP! :grin: So Today I am exicted and neverous. See you guys when I get back! Bye! :smooch:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

B- you´d better :( It´s not gonna be the same here without you two around......for your hilarious posts and just for being yourselves. Don´t lose track of me ;)

ef- hiya hiya, how is you be?
Lt- aahhhhh, bye! have an awesome trip!

Today is my last day in Mexico, I leave so early tomorrow I can´t even say bright and early lol............I´m a bit sad, there´ll be things that I´ll miss, but over all it was an awesome experience but I´m glad to be going home :)

#Vani

[Elenwë]

You had an awsome experience Vani, I'm happy you're going home :smooch:

B and Lt, I'm gonna mis you two :(

Welcome back EF ;)

I feel exahusted, last night I didn't get rest, I had two nightmares and in both of them I was being killed, maybe I shouldn't watch ER before going to bed. Besides that I has to sew all day, my sister's flower costume looks cool but my back is killing me and it seems like I forgot to type... so I'll just go to bed, I'm sick of pressing the backspace key, good night... darn!!!!

[Ewanfan]

thankee Elenwe, Vani and LT......I missed you too......I really hated that camp....it was horrible :angry: ....I´m soooo clad that I´m now home :cool:

[Lady Luthien]

Today I'm excitied cause I'm going on a little vacation until Monday :grin: I'm going w/my friend to a lake house where they have boats and jet skiis and we can go tubing! I can't wait!! veryhappy

goodness everyone is leaving...B, I hope you come back and visit

[Abendstern]

tired, but happy... my exams went well so far :grin:

[Elenwë]

Congrats Abendstern ;)

My neck sores, sewing is not that fun you know. Tonight I'm staying home, I'm a bit tired and none of my friends is going out anyway... one more reason to stick to the ASL club lol

Have a fun trip LL :)

[Mirkgirl]

I went out, it rained and I got back wet.
Gimme an ASL badge... I'd rather stay dry on the outside ;)

[Tirithel]

I was a little hungover earlier...it's my last couple of days at my current job before I move, so we decided to celebrate by getting trashed while we closed up. :) It seemed like a good idea then...today, not so much. ;) lol

[Abendstern]

Congrats Abendstern ;)
:grin: thank you!


still tired... got up way to early... *yawn*

[Ewanfan]

u are not only one......I´m too tired..... :snooze:

[Elenwë]

I went out, it rained and I got back wet.
Gimme an ASL badge... I'd rather stay dry on the outside ;)

Welcome Mirky! here's you badge and don't worry, I do that aaaall the time, if I see a drop coming down, forget it, I'm not going anywhere.

A friend of mine asked me out tonight, honestly, I don't wanna go, I feel so tired and my freaking neck hurts like crazy, another reason to stay at the ASL club.

[Mirkgirl]

Well I don't mind rain all that much but when it's coldish and you get makeup in the eyes it's a bit awful.

ohhh neck pains aren't fun... massage it a bit and tie something to keep it warm

btw it's been raining like ever since yesterday :( I felt down and decided to sleep in severely even though I wasn't all that sleepy... having forgotten Ive got a bloody german class... not my day today heh

[Elenwë]

I couldn't get out of it, she's really counting on me, but last week it was the same story, still... I don't wanna let her down and I'm not a promise breaker (is there such thing?)

Don't worry Mirky ;)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

ASL...............oooooo, can we explain that to my family? just cause they haven't seen me in 6 weeks doesn't mean I want to spend every waking moment with them lol that sounds so harsh, but I'm TIRED lol traveling for the last 48 hours.......and what time zone am I in? lol But I'm finally back in the US and, while not home, I'm in a place I love and that is soul therapy :grin: now if I could only figure out how to get my host to let me call Australia, things would be perfect..............

#Vani

[Abendstern]

I've a major headache... no more alcohol! ... in the next two days... lol

[Mirkgirl]

Well just say you'll pay Vanster... and as to the family... they always want you to be around when you don't want to... it's a parent thing

awww poor Abendstern... I'm surprised I don't have any headache actually... I got into a fight with my parents and drank like everything I could get my hands on (3X0.5 beers, like 100 vodca and more of whiskey) and didnt even get to feel drunk.... I guess it's worryingly actually when alcohol doesn't seem to work (and DON'T TRY THAT AT HOME or other place heh)... I got a big bruise on my hand from slamming the door tho, but that was done while I was perfectly sober.

I guess I better shut up before I incriminate myself even more heh

[Abendstern]

uh, that sounds like a deadly mixture... :cuddles:
well, I'm better now - I cheated :grin: I took an Aspirin lol

[Ewanfan]

I feel good now.......I got cash card where is Frodos picture :cool:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

heehee..............I missed my sister.......she totally tortured me this morning (ripping off blankets, tickling me awake, all that- heh, she's 21 in case you're curious) and it just made me smile......I'd missed that kinda thing being all by my self in Mexico :p

oh, and Mirks....I gots your email :grin: and I'll reply soon as I can.....heh heh heh

#Vani

[SamwiseAtHeart]

I'm excited tomorrow I get to go to Girls camp. I love camp and i have been going for a long time, this is my sixth year. I get to be in charge of a group of kids and my sister is gonna be in that group. I am very excited. I'll be gone til Friday.

[Cassandria]

We'll miss ya SaH! But it sounds like fun! :hooray: :wiggle: :whoohoo:

I feel so lazy today. I need to clean my house! lol

[Aragorn's Hope]

I need to clean my room too so don't feel bad. :( :grin:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

We're having a TON of people over for dinner since we know lots of people here and we're only gonna be here a few days....eep, I HATE having lots of people over......and I had to help clean lol so I feel your pain, you two :p

I am also cracking up because I got an email from this guy from Mexico.....we talked because he helped translate for me one time (so he knows I don't really speak spanish) yet the whole email was in SPANISH!! lol I think I got the gist, though :p

#Vani

[Lady Luthien]

lol that's like when the head of the German department sent me a letter all in German... I was glad I could actually understand most of it but it was tougher writing it back in German lol I hope I didn't make a bad impression w/all of my mistakes lol

anyway today I'm happy b/c I just got back from a really fun trip :grin: During the days we tubed and laid out and got tan, and at night we partied :p What could be better? lol Except today my arms are really sore and I have to get up at 7 tomorrow to babysit :rolleyes: I really needed that vacation and am extremely glad I could go. And I think my friend finally understood how hard for me it was to come, bc the whole night she was like are you having fun?? Because you had to do so much to get here I hope youre having a great time! FINALLY she understood...alcohol can bring out the truth in people they say lol and in this case a little more sense lol

[Tar-Vanimelde]

heh, anyone here wanna volunteer their spanish skills to help me? lol or better yet, where's the spanish table? I can't find it :p

sounds like an awesome trip, LL....and I'm uber glad she was finally appreciative of you :smooch:

#Vani

[Ice Dragoness]

I feel happy....and sad today.

I just got from visiting my boyfriend and everytime I have to come back it gets harder and harder. I actually nearly stayed in Victoria with him...but he's only got about a month and a half to go so it'd be silly for me to stay....especially when I have so many competitions coming up.

AND I got a digital camera....its so tiny but I love it :grin: going to go take pics of my extremly fat mare today to show the world how huge she is lol

[Ranewen]

I feel a little daunted, this is a huge site and I'm kinda new... Everytime I post for the first time in a thread, I kinda feel like I'm busting into a conversation. :blush: Pretty sure that can't be normal, lol. Other than that, I'm feeling happy! :grin:

[SamwiseAtHeart]

Well welcome to WOTR and don't feel to wierd it would be nice to have you in our conversations. I think it would be nice to here your views.

I'm tired, bedtime and I'm excited I'm leaving in the morning for camp :hyper:

[Lady Luthien]

It's ok, Ranewen! Everyone feels a bit awkward when they're new, but people are for the most part really nice and welcoming here, so you shouldn't have any trouble fitting in around here! As long as you love LoTR you're cool, so just keep posting and joining in and eventually you'll feel more stable and a part of the community ;) Hope you like it here, and don't hesitate to ask people who know what they're doing(not me lol) questions!

[Ranewen]

Haha, thanks guys :)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

hey hey there.....people, not that you need to be told, but be nice to Rane, she's cool :thumbs: heehee, I don't know much, but yep, ask away! and this kind of thread is hard to interrupt.....it's a constant interruption of one sort or another. lol

Icey- oh yes! gotta see this poor pregnant animal lol I'm curious as anything :p
and ain't the wait only til November or something? that's not too bad :smooch:

I'm feeling stuffed, I ate a huge dinner, but it was delicious and I'm just happy it wasn't mexican lol

#Vani

[Abendstern]

I'm currently grumbling about my brother calling me at 7:45 am! :o *yawn* lol

[Ewanfan]

I feel now lazy.....only 2 days holiday mecry mecry mecry

[Ice Dragoness]

Yup she's due in November...we think

I took photos but the battery died and they came out really weird cuz my brother is a retard and warped them somehow....but you can see her big belly in most of them lol plus how much of her nice bum she's lost

I'm possibly getting a miniature pony as well :grin:

[Ranewen]

I'm cool! Yay! :cool: Haha, anyway...Ice Dragoness, so totally awesome about your horse and I'm jealous about the miniature pony. November seems like a long time to wait!

A recommendation about the digital camera, use lithium batteries, they last a looooonngg time, and those cameras suck normal batteries so quickly. :grin:

As for how I feel, I'm hungry! :chef:

[Night Wolf]

I feel good, just had a shave and shower so I feel very refreshed...its like 12:30am here so I'm gonna have a milk then get some sleep soon :p get up and work on something I wanna send out by wednesday ;).

Hopefully will wake to a nice message ;) hehehe

[Mirkgirl]

The only productive thing I managed to do today is order my glasses. So it's not altogether lost day is it? hehe

[Lady Luthien]

Let's just say that I am NEVER nannying again...at least not for these people that I did it for this summer. The kids are unreal...I'm so nice to them, I take them wherever they want to go, stay as long as they want to stay, I hardly ever raise my voice to them...and then the younger one goes and tells his mom that he doesn't feel safe with me driving. Unreal, and I mean UNreal!! Maybe I'm not miss soccer mom when I drive by myself, but with those kids in the car, I drive no more than a few miles over the speed limit and am VERY careful. I can't believe he told his mom that! She said she wasn't worried about it b/c he could just feel unsafe with the fact that hes not used to my car(I have a Jeep...very bouncy lol) or just having a different driver. I just really can't handle kids, I guess...I couldn't be nicer or safer and they tell their mom all this **** about me and I don't think I should have to put up with it. Next summer I'm revoking my membership at my Yaght(sp) club and working there.

[Ranewen]

Sound like lovely children :rolleyes: ...I babysat once for this little terror. I was basically paid to play with her. But after being licked and screamed at and told on and bitten a few too many times, I quit.

[Lady Luthien]

lol yea...and its funny cause these kids are older. Its not hard to babysit for them, but when they tell their mom things like that...I just really don't appreciate it. They fight a lot..and when they start screaming, slamming doors, or hitting..I go break it up. Otherwise they're old enough to work it out. But sometimes they call their mom when they argue and it makes me look like I'm not doing my job...I mean I didn't think I needed to say anything when they were arguing over a TV show, there was no yelling or anything but they just had to call mom and make me look irresponsible. I don't know what else to do...besides never do it again. At least there's only one week left. And tonight I'm gunna see Hidalgo, so that makes me happy :grin:

[Ranewen]

Boy, I love children *shudder*

Yay for Hidalgo! :)

[Lady Luthien]

Yes...remind me never to have kids...or if I do not to spoil them lol

have you seen Hidalgo? I haven't yet...I hope it's good

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Heh, old babysitters always have well behaved children lol and But sometimes they call their mom when they argue and it makes me look like I'm not doing my job... I've had kids call their parents and say I was sleeping.......when I was in fact slaving away cooking them food, not even sitting down :rolleyes: kids are twits lol

Icey- so, if you took pics, they're where, exactly? :huh: lol and ooo, I liked Hidalgo....but then again, I like every movie :p

Wolfie.......:smooch: sleep well, sweets ;)
heehee, I'm happy today, too.......lots of fun today, and I'm going out with a friend tonight, I haven't seen her in almost a year, so that's going to be a blast

#Vani

[Elenwë]

Ooooh Vani! I'm happy you're home AND happy *hugs* :smooch:

LL, I'm with you on that, I've been babysitting forever, I have 2 younger sisters and believe me, sometimes I just wanna throw myself to a bus lol

I feel fine, just did some work, I need money and I need it baaaaad, other than that... everything is just ok, trying not to think much about silly stuff like 'when the hell I'm gonna find someone that I like for real'.... etcetera lol

Greeting people ;)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

:smooch: I like you for real lol not the kinda thing you're looking for, I know, but hey lol *hugs*

Oh, and I'm not technically home....lol I'm in the US, but in Washington.....heh, a vacation from my summer :p I'll be back in my state of residence on the 16th ;)

Ooo, wanna help me with some spanish? I got this email I can't read, can I pm it to ya? *grins hopefully*

#Vani

[Elenwë]

Ok Vani, I'll take it :smooch: lol ;)

Absolutely, send it and I will help you with it :)

[Ice Dragoness]

http://groups.msn.com/Pollagog/mesalbum.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=1138

Theres the fat lady lol theres 3 pics of her. The quality isnt the best, I have NO idea how my brother messed them up. I'll take some more when I go feed her today.

Hildago is a cool movie :grin: I cant wait to get it on DVD. I want to put my mare to a stallion with markings like Hildago, paint horses rule!

I've done something silly....again....lol I used to have a kid I taught riding on a very badly behaved pony, they got someone else to come teach her and they've had nothing but troubles with it since. So the mother rang me this morning BEGGING me to give the kid lessons again....plus I opened my big mouth and now I'm competing the pony as well as working it 4 times a week, plus giving the kid 2-3 lessons a week. Cant complain about the money either...plus I'm getting a few other people to teach soon hopefully.

I'm gonna be a busy little dragon lol

[Ewanfan]

Now I´m depressed....I must go to school tomorrow......bye bye freedom mecry

[Lady Luthien]

lol Yea sometimes we blindly make generous offers just to seem nice, completely sure that the other person won't accept...but when they do accept...boy do you learn your lesson lol *right before we're about to get in the car after being out at a boring place for hours and hours* "No! You guys don't have to go home, you can stay as long as you'd like!" *Six hours later*..."um...are you sure you don't want to go home yet?" ;) lol

well today should be a really bad day seeing as I'm grounded(yep...my mother still treats me like I'm five when I'm an adult now,well legally...mb not mentally lol), and the kids refuse to go to the pool so I'm stuck here for eight hours...but I don't care! veryhappy I'm in a great mood...anything can happen to me and I'll still be happy b/c I'm leaving for college in less than two weeks where I'll be on my own, and I won't have to see any of these people ever again! (hopefully...lol)

[Ranewen]

lol, me too! I'm leaving in a couple of weeks and my mom treats me like a child as well. She said that if I get anything pierced or tattooed, she'll know and practially excommunicate me. *sigh* and that's what I was going to do too...I almost was brave enough a couple of weeks ago but I chickened out, didn't want to face the wrath of the mom.

[Lady Luthien]

yea she always gets to you doesn't she :rolleyes: As much as you swear she won't she has some evil spell that makes you do whatever she says. Except when I don't and get away with it :grin: I have a lot of practice now lol But as much as I'd like to, well how shall I put this lightly...physically harm her? lol I'll try to be nice to her...after all she is paying for me to go to college...oh wait that's dad....but she's the one with the authority to take it away since she's established herself as the boss of the family. ;) I'm just kidding I love my parents and I'm greatful(no matter what my mom thinks in her little negative infested thoughts of me) that they have provided me with the opportunity. But that doesn't mean that I'm just gunna take all of her uninhibited screaming and yelling with a smile! Ugh I guess I can for these last two weeks though. She always wins.

Anyway, I didn't know you were going to college too, Ranewen! Where are you going?

[Ranewen]

So excited about going! Small private college, less than 2000 students. How about you?

[Lady Luthien]

ha! My college has about 300 people per grade lol It's tiny...it's also private(much to the grief of my parents lol, but they were so excited I got in that they were willing to pay for it). So I'm very lucky in that respect. Now I feel bad for being mad at them...but it's so hard not to when she can't let go...I'm the youngest and she'll always treat me like a baby no matter how I act. I guess I'll just have to accept it.

[Ranewen]

Maybe it's the same for the oldest, b/c they hold tight to me, but not as much my sister.

[Lady Luthien]

We just can't win, can we lol Some parents have my favorites, *coughmybrothercough*, some are possessive of all their children, etc etc. We just have to deal with it, so I'm just glad my temper is no where near the boiling point of my mom's lol

[Mirkgirl]

WEll Im only child... I get to be the oldest and the youngest at the same time heh lucky me er?

I'm feeling alright... I'd be a bit better if it wasnt raining all the time

[Tar-Vanimelde]

I'm a younger sister....and I'm going to a school of 40,000 students...in my hometown........sucks all around, huh? lol nah, I'm happy........

though my mom kicked me off the computer for the week (it's a FAMILY vacation pfbbt) but I'm home alone right now so I figured I was safe to get on for a sec lol

I'm happy, I'm going to have a picnic on the beach tonight, it's the most beautiful place in the world in my mind.....:grin: so I can't help but be happy right now

#Vani

[Lady Luthien]

ooh have fun w/that Vani...sounds like it will be a blast!

It's amazing how one small thing can make you forget about all the **** in your life and make it seem worthwhile...to anyone out there ready to give up...just hold on and something will change for the better, I promise.

[Ranewen]

Well said!

I personally love the outdoors. It always makes me feel better, just sitting out there. Does anyone like camping?

[Elijah's Girl]

Well said!

I love to camp....the prob. is here there are skunks everywhere...and its not too pleasent being there for long lol
I love fishing and the sound of crickets while camping :)

I am sad at the moment.....I just found out that Elijah lost to Brad Pit for best male actor in a drama :(

[Night Wolf]

I'm happy, I'm going to have a picnic on the beach tonight, it's the most beautiful place in the world in my mind.....:grin: so I can't help but be happy right now

#Vani

:cool: and thats whats most important, glad your smiling hon ;)

Today I feel pretty good, slept in till 11am, had chinese for lunch, watching Pirates of the caribbean right now and then tonight its off to work. AND I got my pay rise and promotion at work instated so I'm on a 1/3 more pay then I was, so work doesnt seem so bad as thats more money for next may :p...

:wiggle:

[Red Lady of Rohan]

I feel like arse :(

I was at the gym at 5am and I hurt my hamstring some how and now my nose is stuffy and I can't call in sick to work cause my boss is on vacation.

But it could be worse :grin:

[Ranewen]

Aww, I hope you feel better!

[Tar-Vanimelde]

:cool: and thats whats most important, glad your smiling hon ;)

.......thats more money for next may :p...

heehee, yep. and I took a picture :shhh: And what's going on next may, I wonder? lol lol

aw man, though, the sunset was so amazingly gorgeous, it was bright pink and just stunning. I was sitting on the rocks right by the water, freezing my butt off, watching the clouds as they turned darker and darker pink until the sky was black, then the stars came out and there wasn't a single light anywhere, I could see every star...................... heaven on earth :grin: especially the cold lol (no sarcasam, I adore being cold)

and I talked my way into half an hour computer time...I'm such a good girl, how could the mother say no? lol

#Vani

[Ewanfan]

I feel now tired.....it´s 9.05 P.M. and today was my first day at school...only 2 days anymore and then weekend :p

[Mirkgirl]

I'm annoyed. I cant find shoes which was expected, but I wouldn't have thought its THAT hard to find a decent normal pair of jeans... the day is going better and better with mother screwing up dinner, after me telling her it's not going to work this way and how she should do it, but what do I know.

[A! Elbereth]

I'm feeling very tired today... as in 'forehead meets keyboard' tired. I went to a party and went to bed at 4:30... and woke up at 9. :mmmm:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

*makes a huge blackberry pie and shares with everyone* it's ok, people, things will look better tomorrow *hugs*

I feel good today, I bought two new books and had a fun morning walking around with my mom and sister looking at huge, expensive boats...so fun to lust after lol And tonight I think the sunset will be as pretty as last night, so I'm planning to make a big mug of hot chocolate and to go sit on the deck in a warm jacket to watch it......you're all invited ;)

#Vani

[Ranewen]

You NEED a warm jacket?? *is very jealous*

[Ice Dragoness]

I need a warm jacket but I'm too lazy to go back to my room and get one lol plus the heater is right next to me but it takes soooo much effort to plug it in.

I'm tired and achy today, rode 3 horses yesterday including my new pony I have on lease.

Plus I'm going to be a busy little dragon soon, I'm in hot demand for lessons at the moment and I better go buy a diary so I can fit everyone in somewhere lol

[Abendstern]

....like somebody grilled me.... ouch....

[Mirkgirl]

I feel strange... choosing bites... you know my uni replies... I actually got 2 today (one has travelled 8 days..... honestly I want to know where our dear beloved post lost it... the other 3 which is AMAZINGLY fast)... anyways... one cuts me off for a place and offers some extremely expensive prep course and ofc I can only laugh back... it was like the least attractive for me anyway so see if I care... tho the other has accepted me and its pretty cool... but I'm REALLY confused as now I have 2 positives and both have their pluses and minuses... it's hard to decide reallly :(... I'm still waiting for one more so if it gets to be positive too my head's prolly going to explode. FUN er?

[Elenwë]

Don't over analyze Mirky, it would propably make it harder, just think in which of them you would feel more comfortable, off course knowing the academical aspects. I hope you get to figure it out.

I'm so upset, I'm tired of everything and it's been only three weeks of Uni, I already hate everything, sometimes I wonder if I chose the right thing, I'm a designer, not an advertiser (or publicist), am I doing what I want?, I graduate next year so all I have to do is finish this and think about starting over... I'm still young... right?, I'm so confused and I can't tell my parents, my dad is being so annoying and my mom is worry about other stuff, I don't want to put more pressure on themselves but man! I hate this.

I'm going to a cottage with some friends for the weekend, let's hope it'll clear my mind.

[Lady Luthien]

I'm sorry Elenwe...I hope everything works out for you, hon! :smooch: I guess now is not the time to say I'm excited about college lol I know it will be tough

But I'm excited cause tonight I'm gunna hang out w/my beach friends that I haven't seen all summer! We're gunna have a sleep over(I sound like a 13 year old when I say that lol) But it's more logical for us to spend the night...we live in all different places. :p

[Keverzwijn]

Have fun with your friends Sara! Hope to talk to you soon. grin

[Elenwë]

It's ok LL, I was beyond exciting when I started, it's different for each person.

[Lady Luthien]

Have fun with your friends Sara! Hope to talk to you soon. grin

aww thanks...that might be possible if you SIGNED on :grin: lol j/k Btw I don't know if I'm going now...a lovely little hurricane has decided to come frolicking our way :p

[Ranewen]

And another behind it too...hopefully it'll clear out for your sleepover.

[Lady Luthien]

it did...but I still didn't go, I didn't feel like it...which resulted in a million other things that went wrong. I just didn't want to go! I wasn't in the mood! Why must I be punished for it??

[Ranewen]

Awwww...mondo hugs!!! I'm sure everything will get better! If you want to spill, feel free to send over a PM :)

[Elenwë]

I don't know what to do anymore, I try to be positive and stay calm, but it's impossible, why eveyrthing has go wrong at the same time. My dad is mad at me, let's hope it won't last much, I have to away for the weekend, if not, I'll just probably end with my existence. I have a presentation tomorrow and the teacher is a... well, let's say his mother is not a decent lady... I have an ad work to do pfbbt and I'm hungry and there's nothing to eat. God! I hate everything!

[Ranewen]

Huggles! I hope everything gets better soon! I've had some days like that. If I can help with anything, let me know!

The sun will come out....to-mor-row....bet your bottom dollar that...tomor-row...there'll be sun...

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Aw, Elen, I wish I could do something...:( it's so hard when you're confused and can't talk to people like your parents about it. And as for teachers of questionable heritage (lmao)...they're very temporary *hugs* know we love you and we'll do anything we can..... :smooch: rant all you need to, sweets. Don't forget, you're a petal of sweetness and honey :grin:

Mirks- so, I only need to buy you one drink so far, huh? :p knew it! and yeah, making decisions is really hard........don't be too impulsive, but it's not the end of the world, in the end, just pick one lol You'll chose right, I know you will :rose:

Icey- indeed, you are in hot demand....don't do so many lessons you forget to ride yourself (fat chance, I know)

Today I feel very good- yep Rane, I need a jacket here......not in Florida, but I'm not going home til Sunday, and out here, it's COLD at night, yay! Today we went on a trip to another island and it was just fantabulous, but the best bit was on the way back, we had to brake so about a dozen TINY quails and the two parents could cross the road......awwwww! Dinner tonight= on a tiny little island only accesible by boat...picnic around a campfire. Brrr, sounds wonderful already.
yesterday I went out kayaking after sunset, it was breathtaking to see the stars come out (best night for the meteors, so I was told- and I believe it!) and the biolumenescence in the water left a trail with every stroke of my paddle.....I'm in heaven

*hugs for everyone*

#Vani

[Elenwë]

Ranewen you're so sweet :smooch: thank you, yes, I hope tomorrow gets a little bit better. Nice song by the way :)

Vani, thanks, if I can only take this out of my system, then I will be ok *hugs* :smooch:... I'm glad you're having so much fun ;)

I'm going to bed now, thank you guys.

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Only wish I could do more, sweets. Goodnight, sleep well, may good dreams grace your pillow tonight

#Vani

[Mirkgirl]

awww that really sucks Elen... parents can be so supportive sometimes, can't they... I don't usually give advices, but IMO you better finish this one first... at least you'll have something finished and some future with it... and then you can always study what you want you have time (:

ohhh Im jealous of you vanster... sounds like paradise alright (:

Well actually two beers with one pending... the weird answer from Bonn would better be counted as negative LOL... anyway I think I desided from the two positives so far... I mean it's:
gorgeous tourist town (around 100k) vs normal town (around 150k)
Very close to Benelux (nice visits) vs closer to home Bulgaria (less travel time)
don't know anyone there vs have a few acquaintances
Tourism vs Sociology (subjects... tourism would be more interesting at any rate)
should be there end of october (lotsa time to prepare; but not-so-good lang course and first placement test) vs should be there 8 sept (hell for the preparations, almost impossible; but longer and better lang course w/o placement test)
higher rent, but prolly better job chances (being tourist town and me studying that too) vs lower rent

[Lady Luthien]

Aww poor Elenwe!! I hope everything works out!! :cuddles:

Vani: that sounds like fun!! Dinner on an island...wow, I wish I were there lol

Today I'm excited b/c
1). It's Friday veryhappy
2). It's my last day nannying :grin:
3). I'm going to college in a week! :p

[Eomer's Mistress]

:wave: LL, Vani, Mirky, Elenwë, Icey, Ranewen! *hugs* :smooch:

I feel great today even though I only had about 4 hours of sleep because I was in a chatroom all night talking about my beloved, Karl! ;) I'm with you LL, I'm happy it's Friday, my favorite day of the week. :whoohoo: BUT, I am dreading going home from work today, because lots of streets here in downtown are going to be closed off for the Lance Armstrong parade. I may leave early so I don't have to deal with the chaos!! Yikes!

LL, yay for your last day of nannying and that you'll be off to college! You're going to do great! I know it. :thumbs:

Mirky, you are one lucky girl. Whatever you decide, do it for you and go to the place where you think you'll get the most out of it...maybe even something out of your comfort level, because you will surprise yourself at what you will achieve. Go Mirkgirl!!

Vani, dear Vani! How's it? It's been a while. Sounds like your trip is amazing, just like you! It does sound like heaven! College bound also I see. That's awesome! :rose:

Elenwe, I hope that you are feeling better and that you have been able to talk to someone just to get it out and off your chest. You don't need the burden right now. As a parent, I say talk to your Mom, but be prepared and be very honest. If you don't want to, it's cool, we're still here...like Vani said, rant all you want, everyone here is on your side. Everything will work out. It usually always does in my experience. :grin:

Icey, you busy dragon, you. I wish I could ride. Maybe one day.

And, Ranewen, I don't think we've met. You are such a sweetie. It's always nice to meet someone new. Take it easy! :)

Well, have a wonderful Friday to start off an even more wonderful weekend! I know I will.

*extra hugs all around*

[Elenwë]

Aw thanks you guys, I'm glad I have supportive people to turn to *hugs*.

I would be happy if I didn't have to go to Uni tomorrow pfbbt, darn saturday classes. I'm a bit happy 'cause tomorrow I'm going on a trip with my friends, it's gonna be cool, don't have much expectations but hey, a little fresh air won't hurt.

Mirky, you are a lucky girl, whatever you choose make sure you really want it. Good luck, you're gonna be fine ;)

LL, college... you're gonna have a lot of fun :)

Vani :smooch: thanks

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Ooo, EM! *hugs* Haven't seen you in too long :smooch: I'm doing just hunky dory :grin:

Mirks.....hum, I dunno where I'd even choose, and it's not my life lol but it looks like whichever you pick won't be bad, it's just a matter of what's more important to you. You'll be able to make yourself happy wherever you end up, I know it :)

LL- college'll be fun.....I hope lol but last day with the kids sounds nice, oh yes it does

Elen- anytime, sweets :grin: fresh air does marvels....don't even let yourself think about anything but what makes you happy.....

Today I'm off to pick blackberries.....the scratches sting like anything and no one to kiss 'em, but ah well, the berries and pies will be well worth the labour.....I adore it, actually, I love having my fingers all dyed purple (and my tongue, too, not that I eat while picking, of course!)

#Vani

[Ice Dragoness]

Oooooh pie! Yummy :drool:

I'm tired....went and looked at this horse I'm teaching another person on. Lovley horse, but its only 3 and has only been off the racetrack a few months. I rode her and despite the wind and her paddock mate carrying on she was fairly quiet. Did a massive spook and jumped sideways, I didnt even realise I wasnt sitting on her until my bum hit the ground lol

I'm going to go watch the Opening Ceremony for the Olympics soon....it's being rerun this morning for people like me who didnt want to stay up til 3:30am to see it :grin:

[Elenwë]

Olympics... I get so excited that it even makes me cry, it's beautiful.

I went out with certain friend to have an ice cream, today's his birthday and he wanted to spend it with me, man! the confusion began all over again, I just have to make a move and that's it, but I can't, what we have, which is a beautiful friendship, is precious to me and I don't want to jeopardize it. I know I love him, but I don't know if it's the kind of love you need to build up a relationship.... arrrgghh!!!! why now????

Good news on the other side, my presentation was delayed so I have more time to prepare it and I got to work things out with my dad, talking can do a lot.

Good luck with the blackberries Vani ;)

(Don't know what I'm gonna do, I'm going on the trip with THAT certain friend... why me???)

[Ewanfan]

I´m now sleepy because I watched TV last night....I waited Finland too long....but that seremony was sooooo beautiful :grin:

[Naru`vatar]

Im pretty tired right now. Ive been helping my dad washing the car......that was not fun at all.

[SamwiseAtHeart]

I feel good today, I got to sleep in my own bed and have a good shower too. I was at camp sleeping in a tent and the showers were horrible so I am happy and in a super good mood. I'm excited too, I'm going on vacation starting tomorrow. :hyper: :)

[Ice Dragoness]

Camping is fun! I think I'll be camping overnight at a competition soon because it's a 2 hour drive there.....I just hope this nasty cold weather doesnt keep up.

I'm excited today, the equestrian is on and the Aussie's are going to win our 4th gold medal :grin:

And of course in 4 years I'll be out there competing my little bum off and waving to everyone as I gallop around with MY gold medal ;)

[LuthienT]

Good Luck Icey! :smooch: *Hugs Everyone* I am happy to be back I missed you all but I am sad that the trip is over! I had bunches of fun! Oh well life goes on! :smooch:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Yep Icey, you're gonna be my famous Aussie friend :p so get your butt in gear, stop teaching so much lol lol

LT- hiya! :wave: how was it? tiring?

I just have to make a move and that's it, but I can't, what we have, which is a beautiful friendship, is precious to me and I don't want to jeopardize it. I know I love him, but I don't know if it's the kind of love you need to build up a relationship.... arrrgghh!!!! why now???? when would be better, elen my dear? :smooch: just know that telling him how you feel doesn't have to change things if it's not the way they should go.....making a move and having it flop doesn't spell disaster for the friendship unless you let it. You're a mature person, and I'm sure if you love this guy then he is too, you two can deal with this.....talking won't hurt as long as you're completely honest.... *hugs* don't push but don't hold back, and remember that you're wonderful no matter what :rose:

eating the pie right now....my hands are all scratched up, but it was well worth it.....went to the beach again for a picnic tonight, watched the sun set over the water, all that postcard scenery stuff......:grin: but I don't want to go home tomorrow.......

I forgot to say in my post above Good Luck in college LL and Vani! (and anyone else going to college) College is soo much fun! :smooch:
Vani, thanks for asking I had fun on my trip! Good and tiring. (I slept a lot on the trip thoughlol) Sounds like you are having fun! :smooch: lol
Elenwe it is hard when dealing with a friend you love, decide if you are ready to take it to the next level or not. If you are, go for it. When in a relationship it is also based on friendship as well. I think should tell him how you feel and see what happens. You can work it out between the two of you and decide what to do if you want to stay friends or be something more. It is good to tell people how you feel and have it out there in the open. Even though you do love him you don't have to take it the next level, remember that too. It's ok to make a move if you love somebody. :smooch: Good luck!

I'm ****ed as **** at my mom and sister right now, they TOTALLY don't understand that you guys actually are my friends, they've been really dictatorial about letting me get online recently, and it's so frustrating......:( I can't wait til I move into my dorm room in a few days.........[/rant]

on a happier note, i got my dorm assignment, and my roommate is a girl I know from the Mexico program! crazy odds for that to happen, but I'm happy :grin:

I also got my scores back from IB tests (the program I did for High School) and I not only got the diploma (yay!) I also got a 7 out ot 7 on the calc exam (like 5 hours of testing and portfolios and stuff, lots of work) which is really hard to do.....I'm ecstatic :whoohoo:

The same thing happened to me w/my parents. It seems more people of their generation, since they didn't grow up w/the internet, can't quite understand that it IS possible to have an online relationship w/someone. I mean it's hardly any different than talking on the phone. And you really can get to know someone by talking w/them, it shows a lot about them. Just b/c someone's not standing right in front of you doesn't mean you don't know them at all, and that's hard for my parents to understand. I think they gradually have come to accept it. I don't spend all that much time on the computer anymore, so they don't complain that much about it. Yes it's annoying, but they're only concerned that you're missing out on real life things while you're on the computer and they just want what's best for you. I understand that it means a lot to you to chat with your online friends, and it does to me too, but when my parents started questioning me, I really considered the importance of real life vs. a cyber one. The less I started using the computer, the more I went out w/my RL friends and made new friends. But you can have a healthy balance of both. I only come online to post here for a while, or to talk to someone that I really care about, like Kev. Otherwise, real life is just something that shouldn't be sacrificed for the computer. And I'm sure you know that, but I think it's important for there to be a healthy balance between both: no matter how much you care about someone you know online, you should never spend MORE time online than living in the real world. It's simply unhealthy. If I hadn't considered what my parents told me then I'd be spending way more time on the computer than is necessary, and wouldn't have a healthy balance of both.

My parents don't mind me being on the internet...well, they rarely complain about anything I do, they give me alot of freedom. As for friendship on the internet, I only know one person that I met on the internet (the lovely person above me ;)), that I can call a friend. :smooch: I'll get my butt online in a minute,but first I have to pack. Packing and trying to talk doesnt mix remember lol

[Elenwë]

I will Kev :)

Vani, just explain the fact to both on them easily, don't burst out or yell or anything, try to take it easy, most parents get worry about us contacting people like this, but wotr is the most nice place I've ever known, there's no such thing as mean, weird, perverted people, which is the most important thing for me. We ARE a community and here you can meet really wonderful people. Maybe they'll understand if you show them what we do here, which is being supportive with each other *hugs* I hope everything get better ;)

Ok, my turn to complain. I guess I told you about going away for the weekend with my Uni friends, and that certain friend of mine was going too... well... how should I put this... I gave the guy a chance, I'm very nervous... I'm not sure if it's gonna work out, the good thing is that we've been friends for almost 4 years and he is really sweet and funny, I have a ball everytime I go out with him and deep down, it makes sense, but I don't wanna hurt him and I don't want people gossiping, I hate that. I'm confused and honestly, I didn't want a "boyfriend" in Uni 'cause everything gets too complicated but I have to take risks, I never do and this is my chance to be at least a little happy with someone. Well, whatever...

I had to take it out of my system :)

I can see where parents and friends are coming from in worring about their kids and the interent. Things aren't what they used to be, it used to be that you could walk anywhere outside and not have to worry about people kidnapping you. (lets name them nicely for now) There are a lot more of the kidnapping type people out there now. They are very sick people who stalk and hunt young people and later get that person's trust then kidnap them. Also a lot of missing people have had links to the net. (Ex:The girl in England who claimed she was 19, talked to a man who was much older than her on the net, then went off with the man and it turned out she was like 13 or so) It's a very sad world out there full of sick people now a days, but there are still good people out there. (Like here) There's my little tibit on that subject.
*Hugs Elenwe* Good luck Elenwe and if you aren't ready don't push it. You'll do fine! You are a wonderful person!
Today I got a nap in so I am happy! I was pretty darn tired! :p

[Ice Dragoness]

Agreed the net can be a scary place sometimes....when I was younger and more stupid I met a guy off the net who turned out to be about 40, instead of being 20. Luckily I had a mate with me and we managed to make an excuse and went home. I just blocked his email and never answered his calls after that either.

But then again I've met some wonderful people off the net. Wolfie, Kitty and Beleg from here, I'll never forget getting drunk in Sydney with Kitty and Beleg :grin: So we're not all stalking psycho's on the net.

Vani- good luck in the dorm arena. My kids both had amazing experiences in their dorms, without knowing a soul! You'll have a great time, and you'll grow immensely!This is a great time for you, don't let anyone make it negative. Dorm life can be tough, but I know you'll do great!!!

LL and Vani.....Sadly, I am of the same generation as your parents, and I too was able to roam the neighborhood after dark, ride my bike everywhere, had no cell phones, played outside for hours without checking in, and never, until my children came along, bothered with a computer! We had a different life! But I will say this...you all believe (and rightly so) that I'm a mom in her 40's (that's my story and I'm sticking to it lol ) with a great love of LOTR, and everything about it. You have NO IDEA who I really am, or what I'm really about. While I am what I say, not everyone is. This is a scary world we all live in, and the internet is not making it any safer! Your parents, altho they may be a drag, are truly looking after you and your safety. Give them the benefit of the doubt...surprisingly, they DO know a lot. My favorite Mark Twain comment..."I was appaled at how stupid my father was when I was 16. I was amazed to see how much he had learned in 5 short years when I was 21" I have a lot of faith in your generation (auugggghhh....that sounds sooooooooo bad "your generation"! I CANNOT be that old!!!) lol As I always have told my kids, you'll be fine, in spite of your parents ;)
