GENERAL HOUSE COMMON ROOM PART 20

First topic message reminder :

HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAAAAY, AMYYYYYYYYY! *screams*

May your 21st year of life only bring you happiness and love and eeeeeeeverything nice!



ohhh and may I ramble a bit about my day? xD (haven't done it in a while now, haven't you noticed? :D)

- I've had an aweeeeeeeeeeesome day today! :D We had this video games project over at our school, that had as a target to create a communication between teachers/ parents and children starting from video games, and have grown-ups understand more of the games of the young generation. About half of our class helped some people from a university in Germany to run the whole thing, hehe. Of course there was a lot of playing and since we had to guide the kids, we got some (well ok - more xD) "training" beforehand, we played: Guitar Hero on PS2, Wii Sports on Wii and Need for Speed (.. latest version, I think) on the computers. SQUEEE! :D It was so much fun! And then the kids and teachers came it was really interesting to see them all play together! Oh and I was the press - shot lots of pics and took interviews ^.^ You know, some of the teachers were really cool about the games and liked to discover what their pupils played, some even suggested to introduce video games in school, hehe. Then again were the more conservative ones, who started playing thinking "I can't/don't want to do it", couldn't do it (see what auto-suggestion can do?! XD) and were eager to stop as quickly as possible. But eh, can't help that, can you? xD
Oh, but one really cool answer I've gotten from a mom went along the lines of "we use video games as a way of having fun with the whole family" - positive surprise for me! ^.^

Now that we're on the topic, it would interest me to find out: do YOU (*points finger towards everyone in the GHCR*) talk about your interest in computer games (because I'm sure many of you play them :D) with your parents/teachers? Do they understand "your virtual world"? :D

Anyone have any award suggestions?

Rai usually comes up with good ones...

Hmm, how about... music genre awards? Like... pop award could be something like "Who is popular among everyone?" or something like that.. have we had tv show awards, or celebrity scandal awards? :D

Let's NOT do the Michael Jackson Award xD

You could always use the old ones again - we have new members on the site now, so it wouldn't be the same, not really... :/

I NEED TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING TO DO RIGHT NOW xD

Lol yeah...no Micheal Jackson award...

He's creepy...

This podcast is now running an hour late :D Oh well, who needs sleep anyway?

I've been wondering the same thing - sleep is TOO overrated xD

...even if I should PROBABLY go to bed now. Mwehh...

I LOVE MY PILLS :D

...they make me happy xD

Is 'happyable' a word? It should be.

Anyway.

When I come back again, you better have some awards for me, Eimi :D

Isn't Finland like...two hours ahead of the UK? :D

Hey, I may not be on too much in the coming days, as the computer has gotten some spywear while I was updating a website for someone who was paying me (makes me mad that it happened that way too)

sorry guys, we are trying to sort this out a.s.a.p!

Yeah, Finland is two hours ahead of UK - why? xD

AND HOW ABOUT THOSE AWARDS, EIMI!?!? :D

Hi, my name is Amy and I am a shopaholic :D

Just got back from town (can I just say - how brill is it that all the shopping centres in Brum are connected? I didn't need to go outside in the rain once!) - spent waaay too much but got lots of lovely stuff!

I bought... five t-shirts, a coat, a hoodie, two bras, shoes, necklace, bag, moisturiser and shaving gel.

Yay me :D

...that's like my worst nightmare, Eimi xD Mutiple shops connected, and NO WAY OUT xD It's like in Helsinki - there's this long tunnel from the mall (which has several shops, duhh, it's a mal!) and leads to ANOTHER mall, and on the way there's dozens of shops - YES, IN THE TUNNEL xD

Worst. Nightmare. Ever.

Oh, and I realized I'm a chocoholic. I ate a whole chocolate bar (a big one, too! xD) while I watched "The Messengers", and then I had a few energy drinks, and then MORE chocolate - if I had ONE normal cell in me, I would be a human chocolate balloon by now.

Eimi, do I HAVE TO remind you about those awards!? :D

I'm still thinking of awards, Caro :D

I'm watching the Eurovision Dance Contest...I didn't even know that it existed :D

Haven't we had Superhero awards? If not, remember to put the Joker up :D

...I want that one xD

Oh, and Eimi - I heard about the Eurovision Dance Contest, but... mwehh, I think Finland sucks, we're not good at that kind of things.

...as has been proved several times xD

Finland weren't bad actually, it was quite a good dance. They're on 39 points at the moment...same as the UK :D

I thought Denmark had the best dance, but Poland are winning at the moment...

Well, I would only assume we suck, because the Eurovisions went bad, and everything goes bad, bad, bad, bad... xD

Omg, did I read something about Poland winning at something?! XD Okaaay, never mind, I don't know what this "Eurovision dance contest" is, anyhow .... xD

Buuuuuuut .... MAMMA MIA! :D OMG, I've just seen the movie and it was aaaaawesome! Brilliant! It made me all squee-y on the inside! That's why I'm so hyper now! ^.^

And I'm in the mood for an ABBA/ oldies in general party - you know, good ol' 70's-80's dance stuff :D Happy stuff that you can just randomly hop around to or dance snazzy choreographies to (not that I would dare to do those, anyhow.. XD)

OH! What about "Oldies but Goldies" awards? Like, with titles of famous songs as awards? :D Someone could be the "Dancing Queen", someone else could make you go "Mamma mia!" ... etc. (ok, those would more like .. the ABBA-Awards xD)

(yessssss, I'm on the ABBA-trip! *g*)

Yay! Everyone should watch Mamma Mia! and see how great it is.

You know, I like the idea of that, Cris. I'll have to think on it some...

Car I would like to inform you that it may not be easy being small it isn't easy being big either. lol By the way I just pictured you as a big chocolate ball XD It looked like a whopper, you know the candy not the sandwich. I made myself laugh.

Amy I say that you can do whatever awards you want, because I won't win at them. I never do XD but I am not sour about it at all. XD

Cris I do indeed want to watch Mama Mia, but I will wait until it comes out on video and make my mommy and daddy rent it for me.

I must agree with Car on the whole shopping thing. I hate shopping with a burning passion. I think that the only way you can get me to go shopping is by promising me a book of my choice, or maybe a twilight shirt or something. Or even better a laptop...but who would pay that much to get me shopping.

I am so tired and it is quite early in the day. I went to my school dance last night and had fun that I didn't think I was going to have. I originally wasn't going to go to it, but my friends convinced me to go. I went shopping yesterday also and got an amazing phone that I love!!!

Besides all that my life has been boring. Today I did my homework for pete's sake. I did my homework on a Saturday. How lame can you get???

How are the rest of you?

~Traci~

Well, I realized I'm only small in Finland - according to the measurements in the States, I'm "semi-big" :D

...I don't know if it's the right reaction to be happy right now xD

Anyway, in Europe my shirt size is 34, s or xs, depends on what kind of shirt it is - well, apparently it's semi-big in the states xD

Oh, and I bought two of the most random DVD boxes; one had three DVD's in, and they were "She's the Man", "Alex Ryder and the Stormbreaker", and "Candy" - the second one was "The Abduction Club", "Bride & Prejudice" and "How To Deal" I MEAN HOW RANDOM ARE THOSE!? :D

...lol xD

Haha :D Lucky me saw it long time ago xD *does a happy dance*

...ugh, school tomorrow.

...

No wait, I DON'T HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW :D I have... work instead. Oh great.

Anyway, I only have Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday school, and then I'm eight weeks in a hospital. Awwwwwesome.

...it's not xD

8 WEEKS IN HOSPITAL?!

oH yea cus your a nurse that's write lol sorry i was worried there lol

Well, yeah :D But 8 weeks would still be a short time for someone like me at a hospital xD I would try to escape the darn place after three weeks - naturally - and then get locked in an isolated room and soft walls

lol car. I would like to say that I have no idea that there is a size change inbetween countries. I really did think we all ran on the same lines. So now I can just add another reason to the whole america trying to starve our girls, so they can feel good about themselves list. It is getting quite large.

Um......I would like to say that the most dancing like show we have in the good old USA is dancing with the stars. LAME. Well that is what I know of and I usually don't spend a lot of time in front of the t.v.

I also was about to freak out when Car said she was going to be in the hospital for 8 week. I was like What! Why? What did she do? You know the normal and then I was reminded that she was a nurse and my brain went DUH! I felt kind of silly and I thought that you might think I was silly also.

Car the rooms with the soft walls are kind of fun actually. I mean you can jump up and down and run into them and you wouldn't get hurt. See I would have fun in one of those rooms which would probably make them put me in longer **sighs** Oh well.

I got to go to church **happy dance** I got embarassed at church to. I can laugh at it now, but it still makes me slightly angry that I blush so easily. I got a hug from the guy I like at the church picnic **does another happy dance** Now I am home and kind of bored.

Oh and good luck Car.

School tomorrow. **sighs** I am so looking forward to it. **sarcasm**

Love
~Traci~

It's not fun to be in a soft room - not when it's round, and someone tells you to go stand in the corner xD You circle the room like a complete idiot!!

Aww, why are people immediatly being all "WHAT!? WHY!? WHAT DID SHE DO!? OH NO!!!!" whenever I mention myself and a hospital!? xD I'm a bit offended here! It's not like I ALWAYS have to go there - I try my best to avoid them, which hasn't been such a successful little thing lately :D

Anyway.

I need to rant in my diary.

Maybe later. When I get home or something... now I need to figure out a way to get to work before 8:30am - Mission Impossible xD

Uh, did you read ANY of the posts above, Polly? I'm studying to become a nurse - or whatever :D So it's pretty much my JOB to work at a hospital.

...I wouldn't tell anyone if I was going there over something health-concerning xD Too embarrassing.

I'm sick

I have a fever - or whatever you call it when your temperature is bellow the normal - and I do mean BELLOW. It's dangerously bellow, and my teacher sent me home, because he was afraid I would go in hypotermia, or something like it.

But still, I had to go to work, and tomorrow I have a maths exam to do - it takes three hours.

I feel... awful.

Work tomorrow too... Although, there is ONE good thing about this all; I got Thursday off from school, because the teacher I had today thought it would be best if I got myself healthy before next week xD

Hehe, atleast someone's happy! :D

Question to all you English smarites out there; What doy ou call the opposite of high fever? Is it... still fever, or is it like... under-feverish? xD I know what it is in Finnish and Swedish - and I wrote a paper of it last week, but I'm too tired to check it up

Talk about lazyness... xD

Anyway, I need to take my shots now.

Btw, has anyone EVER tried to stick yourself with a energy drink shot? I think it would be pretty freakin' awesome - probably dangeorus, but I got a bit bored a moment ago and started thinking about... a lot of stuff xD

THIS WAS NEVER WERE THE WAY I PLANNED, NOT MY INTENTION, I GOT SO BRAVE DRINK IN HAND. LOST MY DESCETOIN. IT'S NOT WHAT I'M USED TO, NOT HOW WE SHOULD BEHAVE. MY HEAD GETS SO COMFUSED, HARD TO OBEY!!!!

I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIKED IT// TASTE OF HER CHERRY CHAPSTICK... I KISSED A GIRL JUST TO TRY IT/// I HOPE MY BOYFRIEND DON'T MIND IT!

Awh lol... I'm so bored i just hada write that out... awh!

oh and it's just a fever Caro, as far as i know

Aww darn :D I thought it would be something cool... oh well.

Anyway, I can cheerfully tell you all about fever xD Okay, so, if you have a high fever for a long time, you can get some serious brain damage, and die. If you get a low fever, like I just happen to have now, you can go to hypotermia, shock, coma, etc etc.. anyway, a person with low fever should never go to sleep, not if it's dangerously low, because then you could get unconscious, and die.

Scary stuff.

Luckily, I'm not in the danger zone, just barely above it, so I can sleep all I want xD Besides, I have three hoodies on, and two pairs of sweatpants, and my awfully cute bunny slippers xD ...oh, and I have a space blanket - well, that's what I call it, since it's all sparkly and stuff, but it keeps my body warm. Very cool :D

So all in all - I look like a stuffed up owl with bunny slippers all wrapped up in folio.

Nice.

Aww hope you feel better soon.

And O.O...I totally forgot that you were the HE owl :D That last sentence in your post reminded me haha

Yes, every now and then I have to REMIND people about it - very, very, very disturbing, actually.

I used to be so loved back in the old days xD People would go all "CAROOOOO!!!!!! OUR FAVOURITE OWL!!!!!"

...now I just get "Hi."

WHERE DID THE LOVE GO!?

...and I want/need awards *hint hint*

.........that's more like it xD

I'm still waiting to get my own title, and the Modlike status - that's the only thing I'm asking.

GIMME ATLEAST THE TITLE!!!!!!!!!! xD

...or my own place where people can confess their undying love for me :D

I shall give you the title of - My Favourite and By The Way ONLY One SHEKERIM! *hugglesmoochiessquishes* Get well, Shekeriiiiiiim! *clings*

Luff ya!

CAROOOO!!!!! THE *ONLY* BUT STILL WONDERFUL AND FAVORITE AND SLIGHTLY-CRAZY OWWLIIEEE!!!!!!!

*tacklehugglespounces*

*tacklehuggles everyone*

A bit creeped out by the way people decided to attack moi... :D

Ask and ye shall receive .

...

Yes.

xD

Meep! I walked against a wall today xD I'm THAT sick, that I walk against completely still objects... it hurt, though.

So now I have tomorrow off from school - and Friday, naturally.

Mwehh, bored... :D

How did you manage to walk into a wall?

I'm sporting a very low temperature at the moment - I can do anything xD I could even convince myself that I'm able to fly! xD

I believe I can fly...I believe I can touch the sky...

Ooh, that'd be a good one for the awards I am currently thinking about.

Yes, Caro, awards are forthcoming! Sometime...today...maybe...

TODAAAAAAAAAAAAY!?!?!? :D OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE EIMIIIIIII xD That woudl totally save my day - literally! I'm trying to keep myself awake as long as possible, before I freeze or something of the like xD

What type of awards are they gonna be? Hmmm? ... are you thinking what I'm thinking? :D

Oh and I'm signing the "Please, Amy, put the nominations up today!" petition - for Shekerim!


Ladeeedaaa......



Btw. Ow. I think I have a slight backpain - which translates into big OWWWW when I'll be 50. Go me. XD

AWARDS! *drools, not due to new braces though xD*

Gimme some... I've been here nearly a year now and not one sodding award have i won apart from that \/\/\/\/ Huffie of the month :D love it xD

Haha :D

I hope there's a "Shake it up, Shekerim!" Award - it will be a tight fight between the two Shekerims, eh? :D I think we should share it xD

...and now I'm bored again.

Although, I did find out something rather interesting xD Did you guys know that you can make yourself sick? Well, kind of, atleast. If you're stressed or just have a tough time in your life, you can become sick.

Well, I'm really starting to think that's how I became sick - it's not like I ran around in bikinis in THIS weather or anything like that...

Personally, I blame Nick.

Award nominations post is now up :D

I's cold.

Meh.
