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

(NOTE FROM ELFIE: THIS IS FOR BACKPACKING BADGE IN BADGE BURROW. THE TWO BACKPACKERS ARE WORKING ON A BADGE PLEASE DO NOT DELETE)

"Roasted Honey Turkey?" Stephy asked her. :I'm not going to lie to you I never had it before" she said as she got up and found the plates. "I'm willing to try it though" she added as she walked over to Violet and handed her two plates.

Evening everyone I've just sorted my car insurance out - one less thing to worry about.

*settles back to watch Gok's Fashion Fix*

o0o0o0oh scandelous!
car insurence how many weeks after you got your car?
tut tut!
lol

Nope, nothing scandalous - I had seven days free insurance from the dealer I bought the car from, so last night I was sorting out my proper insurance.

I just got back from my first driving lesson incidentally, it went pretty well - my instructor seems really nice, so we'll see how it goes.

oh nice one,

Summer 'o8 has acctually started, I am off scholl for a whole 2 months!
boh yah!
lol
im a happy perspon now
xD

summer 08 started here in may!! BWHAHAHAHA. wow i would hate go to your school! but yall start after us so i guess it doesnt matter?

Hehe, to me pickles that sounds early for breaking up from school. I know my sister has another three weeks or so before she's out for summer!

Summer '08 is bringing nothing but babysitting my way. Although I do prefer this over school. I have school. So yuppers.

I don't mind getting out so late because then all the warm months we don't have to spend in a classroom. And all the cold months we do. It works for me.

I am bored. Ya'll I get to go see Deirks bentley tonight at summer celebration. **is excited** It means me and mommmy time.

oh my gosh *is jealous* haha. I love Deirks Bentley haha.
and you get seven days free insurance? cool haha.

o0o0o0o0h the boringness of summer already!

im only two days in and im bored!
no not really!
*excitement*

xD

x`(

/\/\/\/\/\ something i just made up there/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/

lol

Woot, Doctor Who tonight! I'm very much looking forward to tonight's episode - it looks like's it's going to be good.

How's everyone today?

I am good.... I am just really tired and distracted.

haha. how is everyone else?

I just read the spoilers Etta posted in the Doctor Who thread...

*says no more*

Good luck in that, polly!

I'm baaaaaaaack, m'lovieeeeeees! :D

Drawing camp was incredible, awesome, wonderful, super-duper-mega-squeeee-y! - will write more about it once I get some stuff done around here, like ... unpacking, uploading pics, getting in touch with reality again (including the parts of reality that I don't really like :/), making tea for my mum etc etc ... and last but not least, studying for my driver's licence theoretical exam which is - OMFG, have barely started working on it XD - on Monday XD XD XD

Yeeeeeeeesh. Talk to y'all later xD

Good Luck Polly! haha. I hope you get the role! That would be so awesome! haha.
Dr. Who scared me : / I watched it once, and... never really got into it. haha.
I am glad you had fun! Can't wait to see pictures!

haha. I have a scary schdule for next year.... It just came in today.....
Here it is! *runs and hides in horror* (Pd. means Period)
Pd. One: Health for semester one and Gym semester two
Pd. Two: German III
Pd. Three: Algebra II
Pd. Four: Biology
Pd. Five: Advanced English
Pd. Six and Seven: Lunch
Pd. Eight: American History
Pd. Nine: Chorus
Pd. Ten: Journalisim

Hello Cris I hope you had a lot of fun which it sounds like you did. Oh and by the way I hope that you do well with the driving thing.

Good luch Polly dear I am sure you will be brilliant.

Biology isn't that bad when I took it but then again all teachers are different. I will be taking German II even though I sucked German I. Honestly though I like Alegebra more then Geometry XD so that doesn't so to bad to me. Oh and Lunch is by far my favorite class. XD You have choir which I think is fun. Journalism? I wish we had that class I love to write. Either way good luck with all that Katherinee.

haha, its just scary. haha. I sucked at German II, and am suprised they let me move on XD
and why am I in Advanced English? haha. I dont get that either..... haha. I am not a good student in English (My German grade was highr than my English grade XD)
haha.

Ohhhh you all think your hard done by!

At least you know whats to come!
I don't!
I could have everything under this sun and they don't tell us until we go back...
I start a whole new range of subjects next year, and im not that happy about it, im too old to learn new stuff!
=[
lol

Oh, I wouldn't be able to stand that! Just like, the kids in summer school don't get their schdules till the week before school starts again. haha. And we all know allready. haha.

*hasnt posted here in soo long*

Gemma, it sounds as if your head is about to explode! Personally, i think if you get the chance to go to university, you should go. You never know if you might find a job in the future you want that might have required you to go to uni. Anyway, why would you think no one would want to room with you? *huggles* i'm sure it will all work out either way.

We get our schedules sometime during the last few weeks of the previous year. That way everyone has time to compare them with friends early xD..mine is actually really good--i have the first 3 periods or so with all my friends!
Since theres too many people in the school though, they split the lunch pds into 3 parts, and they dont tell us which one we have until the first day of school. They also dont tell us where our lockers are until the first day, which is pretty suckish when you think about it.

Katherine how long have you been learning german? I started learning it in school last year, but the teacher doesnt know how to teach and everybody always takes french and spanish so hardly anybody was taking the german class :[

I have been taking it for two years. This will be my third, and we get iPods! haha. We download podcasts to listen to for homework, and it sounds cool. haha. I can not wait!

I have no clue where my locker is either... they havn't told me either! Our homeroom teacher gets to decide, each teacher gets a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 25 lockers, and the teachers all work it out with each other. So i dont know where I am yet! haha

Hey Kate, welcome back

Yay for the new laptop! I'd hate to have to go back to the old desktop that's in the house, it's sooooo slow. I get really frustrated whenever I have to use it and it usually ends with me shouting at it :D

haha. My computer is really fast XD but I still want a laptop :] haha. and thats great! haha.
yeah, an illegal copy of the twilight movie would have made it better : / but ah well.... december will come fast! (I hope!)

Gemma if I had a different class schedule every day of the week I would get so confused. I like having the same thing every week. Although the schedule we get does change 3 times in a year. I really don't get the way German schools work. I was supposed to learn that in German I but I never quite got it. Oh well. I hope you have fun and good luck with whatever you choose. Plus I would love to room with you as long as you don't snore XD Not that I can because I live in the states but still.

We get our schedules a few weeks before school starts. We also get our locker locations. It is all fine and dandy. I don't know if I would like to get it earlier or not because to be honest I don't care during the summer what I have or not and if I did know I would be wasting time stressing over it insteade of enjoying my summer.

Rigby lucky you. I wish I had a lap top. I mean even with my internet I am sure a laptop would be better then what I got. I seriously need to update some software or something. Although Mom says that it is not a priority and if we can afford it we will get a better computer and internet HA like we will ever be able to afford it. She is just feeding me false hope.

Amy hun I don't know if you know the meaning of slow. My computer and I mean this literally goes faster BACKWARDS. I am not kidding I will be loading a page and it will take like five minutes for it to load like halfway and like thirty seconds to go back to nothing. I hate it. I don't yell at it anymore. I just try not to get on that much and when I do it is to do what I gotta do and get off.

I turn sixteen in December so it better come soon. I will be sixteen on December eleventh and where I live the movie comes out in the twelveth. I am so excited. Someone should get me a car for my birthday. Maybe a lap top with internet that doens't take forever. I will be happy with either one I swear XD

I guess I ranted. I give you all cookies if you read the whole thing.

Oh yeah and one more thing. I got to see Merranda Lambert front of the stage and I got to shake her hand a couple times. She smells really good ya'll. Not to mention that she is just an awesome singer and I love her.

I am so done now. Besides I need to go to bed so I can have energy when I see Montgomery Dentry on Wednesday. Even though it is supposed to rain. **cries** I will get wet though. Not to mention that I have to watch Haylee again. I hate having to watch my little sister all the time. It really makes me sad.

Oh yeah I was stopping this now. I love you guys and seriously cookies for all who reads this whole thing.

My computer is lame at home. I often get on at my friends and families computers. They usually have fast internet and such. It is cool. My school computers let me on HE no problem. I love it.

It stormed really bad today. I am supposed to go to Montgomery Dentry but I don't know if we are going. We might just stay at home and out of the rain. I don't know. **sighs** Either way I need to do something.

I guess I could read. I have been reading like crazy lately. I love reading. It makes me happy. I am going to get off now. Love you guys. **hands out cookies to the monster post readers**

The monster post is my post above Polly's.

Oh, your internet connection sounds bad. : [ Mine was like that, but then we got Internet from the local internet provider, not the big one that gives it to all the areas, and it works a lot faster. haha.

Oh myyyyyyyy, HEEEEELP! A mysterious purple person in the GHCR! Everyone, save yourselves! Women and parrots go first!!

... kidding Elfie, I still know who you are! xD - you're The Elf, how could I not know you? :D Plus, you're cute Aimee's mommy, which makes you special and unique!


Weird. I'm feeling disconnected to the internet in general these days. I guess I got out of habit during the drawing camp. *g* .... and got into painting/drawing mania instead xD - went to the park to paint yesterday and sketched today ^.^ <3 <3 <3

Ahhh. I'm also in post-camp-melancholy. I'll miss it so much.

hehe see ive lost my title - im no longer the elf - im the little elfs mummy :D


ooh ooh i took aimee to a baby gym place today about half an hour away from me and as we pulled up in the carpark i saw something hidden behind a trailer in the warehouse carpark!! Its the TARDIS!!!!looklook



Ive seen the tardis!!!!!

Haha, Elfie. Thats cool! I never really could get into that show... they show it on one of the channels here. I watched it once or twice... haha. It kinda freaked me out! Ah well... haha.

I think i tried to watch Dr Who once, but during the 5 minutes i turned it on, some person happened to get eaten by an evil space monster or something. it was a bit gruesome. I didnt really watch it after that..

Doctor Who is never really about the gore and gruesomeness...the message is very anti-violent (kinda...I mean, the aliens get killed and stuff).

And speaking of..

The finale was GREAT!

Maybe I'll start watching Dr who. It's not very popular here, I'll have to figure out when it's on.

Oh my goodness. I'm watching Harry potter and the goblet of fire right now.

...everytime they show Cedric, i keep sqeeing 'Oh-My-God-It's-Edward-Freakin-Cullen!!'
McGonnagal ruffled his hair partway into the movie and i think i started screaming. >.<

but i'm bracing myself for the ending graveyard scene..*edward is not dying edward is not dying..*


EDIT:: oh my god Harry just ripped the shirt half off Cedric/Edward. hehe..

haha, I was watching that last night too! haha. I was like "omg, did Edward really just fall right out of the sky?" haha.
Robert is getting a lot of critticisim right now though : [ I don't know why! It makes me so mad! haha

Ohhh everyone watches and loves Dr. Who ;_;

I wish Portugal would air it, so I could watch it too ^.^

Heh I think you can watch Dr. Who online, too

... at least that's how I watched an eppy at some point :D

..... nowwww, if only I still had the links... :/

Yup, if you know where to look there's plenty of DW online lol.

Oooh only a week and a bit til my London trip. Yay!

Hey guys, guess who's back? :D

...me xD

But I will be gone again on Saturday

*squees*

Me is going to Sydneeeeeeeeeeeeey :D
