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

lol
my eyes are really sore, his new backround is not good for me!
lol
but i still love it duck!

Yay! Nick finally got himself dragged over here xD And he has... LOADS of candy with him - and I mean LOADS OF IT...

Oh my God.

I'll die of sugar-high tonight xD

I'm forcing Nick to watch Ned Kelly and Casanova soon, and maybe even 10 Things I Hate About You - or just randomly Fight Club xD

I watched the BBC version of Casanova recently - the one with David Tennant - and it was really good. A bit weird though, because there were some...ahem, adult themes and seeing what was effectively the Doctor (same accent, very Doctor-like in character) was a bit odd!

Pickles, if the skin is too bright you can use the skin changer in the left corner to choose the dark skin, but it won't match up very well. If you do do that and decide you want the main skin back then you'd have to clear your cache - I haven't got around to updating the code for the new default yet. In fact, I think the skin changer default goes back to the skin before the blue one :D

Haha, Eimi :D I really liked Heath Ledger as Casanova... he's jsut so charming, funny, schmexy beast and....... grrrrr *drools again*

...I need my daily Heath-dose now xD

Yes, I actually started to go over-the-board-fan when he died - I'm weird, I know; old, married and dead guys are my thing :D

Hehe here's DT as Casanova:

http://www.david-tennant.com/temp/id93.html

Dude, he looks weird! :D

I still like Heath more xD

It was a good miniseries - I enjoyed watching it.

Is the Heath Ledger film good?

Woah........I see what happens when I go to sleep. So you finally finished tidying Amy? I didnt...so that means Im gonna get in trouble for 2 minutes before my dad decides that half the stuff in the house is his and my moms anyway

Yup I finished, yay :D Well, it's not perfect but I can't be bothered to do any more!

Ooh, GHCR split itself. *changes name to part 20*

Well, I think it's good! xD

True, I'm not a big fan of Sienna Miller either, but it really doesn't even look like Sienna in some parts :D I ahd to double check that it really was her... xD

And at some parts, it's just... well, badly done. You can tell when it's a stunt double and so on :D

Like... lame much?

But other than that, really great movie :D

(And Lena Olin [Alias, Chocolat] and Natalie Dormer [Tudors] are in it too xD)

Aggieeeee! *hugglessquishes* :D :D :D

yeah, I didn't get to tell you "Hi" yet xD WELCOME BACK! *screams* *hugglessmoochies* Me missed youuuu, how are you?! :D

other than that ....

... today wqas a lovely day. xD Except for the waiting-2-hours-at-the-embassy-to-get-some-stupid-paper-I'm-now-not-even-sure-is-the-right-one -part (one hour until the dude who made it came to his office, one hour until he actually finished it -.-") .... yeah, except for that, it was awesome - sunny 'n warm (even hot!), didn't have time to return home for lunch, so I discovered a lovely new grill terrace next to a park on the occasion (grilled chicken - YUMMM!), took the shortcut through the park.... couldn't have been better! :D

oh and btw.... had my last day of highschool, EVER!

(pshhh, still need to at least pretend to be learning for my oral exam xD)


dumdumdummmm.... and I guess everyone was just dieing to know all these magnificent details, rrright?

ps: once again... I <3 <3 <3 this new skin! Somehow, all siggys look much better on it and it's just so pretty and and and .... Amy, you're my hero! :D

::is squashed::

CRISPY!!!! Hi!!! I've missed you too!

I feel like I should jump up and down or something...

Hehe glad you like the skin, Cris. I think it looks a lot cheerier and more summery :D

Brr, tis cold. I could put my hoodie on but I can't be bothered to fetch it...

'course you should! :D Get a trampoline and ... goooooo!

... just take care not to make a hole in the ceiling, your neighbours might .... errr, worry

oh and I would love to tell you to get your butt on msn xD .... but I need to go to sleep

oh and Amy - it doesn't only look summery and fresh and cute and lovely, it actually fits the colours of my sig, which is an honour to my lovies, AKFG! Therefore, it's double and triple awesome!

*huggles everyone again* nightyyyyy! :D

Who are they in your sig? I don't think I've heard of them...

*looks at your sig*

Ooh, only 10 days til your birthday? Into your twenties :D

Hola everyone! I'm glad it's finally the weekend And we finally turned in the final draft of our research paper today... so I'm glad that's off my back haha.

And yayy for your birthday being close, Cris! But your exam is on the same day?? Ouchh haha

You know what I would do? Walk in saying happy birthday to me. Now what I want from school is not to do my exams, to have someone do them for me. Some girl actully did that...she got send to the princpal

My birthday is in July... so there are no exams on my birthday.

Yay!

But it's also kinda sad because in my school they announce people's birthdays and all day people are like "Happy Birthday!" and so that never happens to me

Then again, I get pool parties...

18 more days til im 15!!!! god, i feel like i just turned 14 though

Ooh really? Yay for summer birthdays haha

Let's see... 29 plus 21 plus 2 is... 52?

My birthday's in 52 days!

Jeeez, that's a long time haha

I don't know how many days it is to my 17th birthday :D

...ages, I suppose xD

Anyway.

I accidentally kicked Nick out of bed last night xD Apparently, I was having a nightmare xD I can't remember it, though - that's the idea of sleeping pills :D

lol

gezzz its my birthday soon! =]
should be an eventful evening lol
Violet!

annnd yes, into my twenties xD ... I'm getting ooooold

I actually thought of reminding my teachers that it's my birthday before I start the exam and beg them to give me a high mark as a present, but unfortunately, I think I'll leave it be, since ... it wouldn't exactly be the most grown-up, already-20 thing to do. - Need to start behaving like a mature person, y'know? xD

haha, my fourteenth seems so far away!!!!!!! haha. Its a little over two months... i think (June, July, August....) haha. So yeah. But i really cannot wait.
My friend Nichole is turning 14 today, she was like my best friend untill three days ago, when she got sucked into the popular crowd and asked me not to come to her birthday cause she was finally living her dream of being an "It" girl, and I would ruin that. So I just decided to forget her. haha, but it feels werid, you know, cause we have been friends forever and its the first time I "forgot" her birthday....
sorry for the rant :/

Two of my closest friends turn 18 and 29 within a week (on the same day, actually o____O)

Oh, and my mom turns 35 on Tuesday xD I heard dad mention a surprise party, but... I'm not going :D

haha, why wouldn't you go? haha. My dad turns 50 in a year so we plan on getting him with a ig party XD he swears he will go far, far away then though.

1) I hate family parties - especially birthdays!
2) I'm not in good terms with my mom
3) I have better things to do
4) 35 is NOT a special age xD
5) I can't stand with mom's complaining and possible crying about getting old (...like when she turned 33, she locked herself in the bathroom and refused to come out because "she felt so old")

........ *major eye-roll*

So that's basically why I'm not going, capisce? :D

yeppers. haha. sorry for making you explain. I wouldn't go either then.

Where did you read the first chapter?!?!?!?!?

I went to Stephenie Meyer's official site, and then I found the link there :D

I think i just about died when i read that chapter the first time. But then i read it about 20 more times, so now i am able to read it with just minor squee-ing. xD
The full first chapter and preface for Breaking Dawn are circulating around the internet, but I'm not so sure that's legal so i probably shouldnt post the link here..lol

My family doesnt really do surprise parties. We're not exactly the best family at keeping that sort of secret from each other, and overall we just dont get along very well. We tried one for my grandma a while ago, and it was pretty good, but a little awkward..it never happened again.

I read the chapter a couple of days ago - arghhh I can't wait for the book!

Have you all seen the cover art as well? Chess pieces...hmm...

hehe. *has just read the extract everyone is so excited about*

.....

....

...


WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *screams* - 'tis gonna be a cool book! ^.^ *needs to re-read the other three* ... anyhow, I hope not to be spoiled when it comes out xD ... because I think I'm only going to be able to buy it at the end of September/ beginning of October *g*

We're not good with surprise parties either, because whenever my aunt shows up at our door, we just know something's up :D And anyway, we always ruin the parties... well, my relatives do xD I just... hide somewhere with coke or beer xD

Spoiler:

Yeah, I don't know xD

humph!
what did i miss?
*huffs*
i miss too much!
but hey!

so what is the crack with you all now?

...dude, just go back and read the pages if you're curious :D

I can't do that, because it takes an eternity before my computer agrees on my terms.

Stupid, stupid, stupid new connection thingymabob...

Anyway.

I watched American Idol xD

Spoiler:

Yeah, we're a bit after with things :D

I am reading it right now... haha. This is exciting XD

Spoiler:

Oh, btw... just a heads up. At 7:30 eastern time, on MTV, during the pre-movie awards show time, they will show a sneak peak of the Twilight Movie!!!!!!!

I cant watch American Idol..it has no purpose is completely fake once you realize how terrible their elimination process is. I try to see it all every year, but usually end up yelling at the tv so i promise myself i wont watch it anymore xD

have you guys read the entire chapter? --not just the preview

Spoiler:

and i think i just died when i saw that spoiler from the movie. I missed it on tv so i watched it online

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

That said, I need to get to work, and hit something on my way xD

Also, I love American Idol, because they have Simon Cowell, and his comments are just worth watching for :D Besides, Americans can sing better than we Finnish people. Just listen to us talk in English - it's just terrible! xD

Spoiler:

Hey everyone!

I read the extract the other day and saw the clip of the fight scene. Squeeee.

I had to watch alot just to get over my excitment. haha. But that jump looked way to fake...but still it was good. Ok...I;m confused...did she have peper spray in her hand or something??

And we only have to wait another couple of months to find out!

haha. I am having a midnight release party... me and my friend will be getting the book then XD
I cannot wait, too, since its the day before my birthday XD

NOOOOO!!!!!!!
your all talking about Twilight aren't you?
I haven't read one of the books before in my life!
Because i only heard about them about 1 month ago lol!
when it came into fashion here!
i feel sooooo lonly!

thats okay. haha, we can try to stop a bit now....
but I sugest you read them XD they are as (more) addicting than Harry Potter in my opinion.
haha
