GENERAL HOUSE COMMON ROOM PART 20

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

eh no!
lol
my parents would know that i use this site and some others aka bebo, but that would be it..... i do have a friendly relationship with most of my teachers but i wont start talking ot them about what video games i play lol....
Im afraid i don't pay video games..... im too mature... but i used to be addictied to the sims 2 which was really fun.. but alas, i broke the disc and well... i couldn't be bothered getting a new one soo lol i landed playing RP and doing stuff like this! lol

University of Leipzig! ... in case you were wondering hehe. Really cool people. ^.^

And you know, I wish more of the adults could communicate with their kids on computer topics .. ah well. Or at least, understand what's going on there - whether they agree or not is their choice.

Online friends - I used to be skeptical about the topic myself (before the "HE-era") but now I've made some awesome friends over here. But ... I have to admit real life contact with all these people would be great because it's true that feelings can't be transmitted well over the internet, it's all much more .. superficial, you know? Well. With some people it's easier, because they are more open, but there are also people about whom I often wonder, "what might they *really* be thinking?". It's often not the same as real life friendship, but I also can't deny the fact that I've grown to care very much about some people here.

at this point .....

*huggles all her lovies* :D

Needed to do that. ^.^

And I'm in a weirdly happy mood. And I'm smiling. And I must be mad. xD


.... and I'm reallllllllllly hungry, too. XD

Well, my day went okay. I just finished my research for a presentation I am doing tommrow (I told yoiu I was a pocrasinator...) on art of the Holocaust. It makes me sick to my stomach, some of the images....
I dont have a video game system, so I dont play video games :/ haha,

Art of the Holocaust? Interesting! .. then I think I might detail about that old guy I was telling you on MSN, after all.



... just remind me to, because I might not remember xD

I also used to think that you couldn't make friends online, but since HE I know that you definitely can

Awwwwww! I hope Aimee gets better (for all of your sakes!) and happy birthday Amy!

I have such an awful sunburn from marching in the memorial day parade. Its all over my back and shoulders (I was wearing a tanktop, which my mom will never let me forget now!)

Other than that, I have a cold which is really weird, I"ve had it for almost a week now and it's really annoying me, though it's muuuchhhh better, thankfully.

School is almost over! yay! I can't wait for summer. This year we are going to Florida: Disney World, Sea World, Aquatica, and Universal. And I'm going to camp again which I am uber exceited for.

Whats up with you guys?

Bow chicka WAH WOWWWW

HI EVERYONE!

Holy cow, did yall change the persons name to username imposter cause they have 2 warnings *looks over at mine* im a good girl!

what are you talking about lesly?!
Anyways!
we started our camain today.... (our school is sending off one person to the artic this sumer) we won a compitision to do so and these alot of work involved with it...... wait for our flashy name. the ground crew!
our school badge has polar bears on it and Captin Crozier lived in our town (captin crozier was a man who died trying ot sail through the artc) so we have a huge link with the subject of saving the polar ice caps...
we started to day by covering the polar berars on the statue of crozier.....
http://www.sebp.org.uk/cms/uploads/croziermonument_banbridge1.jpg
and taking pictures of us around the crozier monument without the polar bears (meaning that in time there will be no more polar bears anywhere).

all in all itr was good fun but really embarrassing because the hole town probibly heard us yelled
'KILL THE POLUTION NOT THE POLAR BEARS!'

Hey there, Cookie :D

I spent this morning sorting out my books and DVDs - I have too many and not enough shelf space. There are about 20 books that I'm not keeping, so it wasn't a total waste of time!

Tomorrow I have to sort out my clothes. Then my desk. Sigh...so much sorting uot to do!

sorting out stuff sounds like horror to me!

... I've been through it once, when we moved, but I don't feel like doing it again too soon xD (and yet I'll have to *sighs*)

lol sounds like mad fun!
im supposed ot be revsing now but eh!
oh and my art exam!
ah well!
ill write soon... have to go do those very important things!

Yup! No one steals my name and gets away with it on my site

lol Elfie. I was just bored last night and that name popped up at me. So I looked at it and I said holy *insert bad word here* this person has 2 warnings!

Thanks for noticing me Amyyyy! And this is sorta late but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Gosh the site has changed... I'm working my way through it still haha I'm trying to figure out where everything is

you must have been off for a long long long time.

Yes, I have... a few months at least. I had had a serious addiction to the site and needed to detox haha

Plus I had so much homework there was really no time to come on

Yall, where has Caroru gone to? She hasnt been on for while.

I'm guessing a lot of people have exams at this time of year, so it might be why some people haven't been on in a while.

Sigh. I have a lot of sorting out in my room to do today. Yesterday I sorted out books and DVDs, today I've got to do my wardrobe and clothes drawers - have a huge clearout so there's room for all the stuff I brought back from France.

I don't wanna *pouts* I hate tidying my room.

*dodges ducks clothes that are flighing about the place*

awwww!
ragin Amy!

Exams suck!
I know im only 2nd year but they still mean so much to me!
If i don't come in the top half of the class in everything this year i will scream!
ofcourse i always do come up the top somewhere but anything could happen......
Ive spend most classes today revising.... (my exams start next tuesday till firday!)
but i can't be bothered anymore.....
I GOT MY ART WORK IN ON TIME!
it might have sucked but hey! who cares!


Carou?! carou!? where are you?!
heyhey that rhymes!

Good luck on your exams!

I've been working on a new skin today...something a little bit more summery than the blue. We'll have to wait and see what Sharon thinks of it, but it might be changing later...

ohhhhhhhhh! scandelous!
(as i would say!)

thanks for the luck *shoves in pocket to keep t for a later date!*
hmmmm..................
i cant believe its nearly summer!
so what have you all got planned anytone going on holidays? mad shopping outings? or nothing..... lol
wb x

*points at sig*

I have a trip to London in August, where I'll be meeting Marie, Lisa (swifty), Sharon (and probably Mick) and baby Aimee. So I'm looking forward to that.

In August I'm going to the Isle of Wight.

Oh, yall must still be in school. I forgot about that. We get out today, well, my sister does. But I dont have to see her for week and Im so happy.

Schools in Britain don't tend to finish until mid July. I think the date this year is 22nd July - for schools in my region anyway.

All I can say is thank god for long university hols!

I would hate that, alot. We go in August and get out in May, but see, we have 185 days now, meaning we have to go all of May because Bush thought it would be better, yeah better my foot.

lol
we go from september till the end of june!
we'll be off soon!
but alas i wiull miss it for the hole 2 months!
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
drunkerd fun all day every day!
*glares*
ofcourse i wont be really drunk just hiper on ********
*lies*
lol

Schools don't start back until September here - I think it's something like the 5th or 6th this year. It's a six week summer holiday, anyway.

I think that would be one of the better advantages of being a teacher - you get the school hols!

You know whats bad though, the teachers at my school complained more about it then us. They hate us, really.

lol sounds like fun! =]

i love the way the school holidays run over here, plus... i want to be a teacher so i can get those days off... but don't you wonder how they live during the holidays 8 weeks is a long time!

Ehh... I am back

Okay, let me write this übermega long explanation for my veeeeery (atleast I think I was away for a long time o_____O) long absence;

This is where you just shrug and scroll down to the following post...

Anyway.

Personal issues, that are really touchy subject for me to talk about at the moment. I came from the hospital yesterday, and today was "supposed to be" the happiest day of my life - sort of. Last day and all at school... well, let's just say it wasn't that fun.

Okay, so I didn't fail any classes, but still.

I may be on and off, depends how I'm feeling, but for now I'm pretty okay-ish Luckily, I have Nick, and he's been awfully wonderful, and just all-around great! I know this sounds very angsty, and I suppose it is, but problems just seem to be drawn to me.

Annoying, really.

But nontheless - I AM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

So gimme some sugar! xD

*tacklehuggles everyone*

You have been gone since may 13. I know. I checked it. I dont have any sugar. Im not allowed to have much of it.

CAREEEEEEEEEEEEE! *jumps on MSN and hopes you're on*

... I missed youuuuu

*hugglessmoochies looooooots*

huggles!

hello!
as you cansee we where calling for you earlier you mst have heard!
lol
soo have you quit school all together, what are you planning ot do now?

Hey Caro! Welcome back

I'm watching Britain's Got Talent at the moment. I love these sorts of shows :D

I dont. I hate America's got talent, and I hate American Idol ever since Chris Daughtry was voted off and look who is hitting the big shot, not Taylor Hicks

America is just out of talent, Lesley... till people my age turn 16, we wont be able to squeeze too much more out of America..... all of it has been picked through

Britain's Got Talent is just fun when you're watching it :D I don't follow the winners or anything - the fun is in the watching.

Caroru has been taken by the hippos!!!! *speechless*

On the other hand, someone gets to come back in HEBB2!!!! I bet it's Rai......

I'm changing over the skin now - so if you see the colours going weird for the moment, don't worry :D

k haha. I am about to be voted out of HEBB2 it makes me verrrrry sad :[

I didnt vote you.....but Im not saying who I did. Poor Dani, she is on her way to and I wanted her to win so bad!

I know... i feel so bad for her.

OMG IM GREEN AND BLUE!!!! haha, this green is way to bright for me. Yeah I was talking to her last night about it. I told her she was on it and she said what and someone voted for her

:[ I like the new skin, by thwe way! haha. it was time for a new one! The bright colors make me feel ready for summer :]

Eww, the bright colors give me an head ache.

*edit- umm wait, mine not showing the right skin. is it suppose to be gray and weird like. or green??
