CHATTER!

First topic message reminder :

Hola and welcome to Chatter our little common room that needs no real introduction.

So, say what you want, do what you want, and don't forget, there are eyes everywhere.

And ... we are open!

I will come up with some questions for June and for Matthew as well. Vi, if you could PM that person, let me know. If he/she is concerned about remaining anonymous, you could forward the questions to him/her and he/she could, in turn, send them to The Hogwarts Pensieve username.

*edit* Anyone can do editorials, but not every editorial I receive will make it in. Write one and if I don't include it, I'll let you know why.

I was thinking last night, i know Pamela's Editorial touches on self harming and cutting, maybe instead of having an Editorial on cutting we could have an article on Self harm from all sides, why people do it, what to do if someone you know does it, what is self harming etc etc etc.

And again, any takers on interviewing the staff? 3 questions only, no hard work required

I can interview the staff. Would that be a separate piece or part of the one I'm already doing?

Stephy, I'll send you the same questions I did June. That would be quite helpful.

Still trying to come up with something from Matthew. If the truth be told, I'm trying to get past my envy.

I think a separate piece, would probably be best.

Feel free to throw things at Matthew, i do i'm thinking, the best approach with questions for Little Pumpkin, would be what would you do if you were in the same situation as those who are depressed, What do you think of depression etc etc. Things like that.

Right. I totally forgot to do that.

The good news is I've already had two people from Gryffie express an interest in doing an editorial. Of course, I don't know if that means I'll get two editorials or not. At least there's interest, though. Last time it was as if, despite the post in the notice board and in Gryffie house, as well as the blurb in my signature, no one knew about it.

I think people have now had a chance to see the Editorials we used for edition 10 and now know what to do and how to proceed.

Its F1 weekend, and whilst i really can't be bothered to write anything creative or take notes for this race, i am happy, i am mellow, today is the first time in a long while i have felt so, not relaxed, but not on the verge of killing someone ... its so very quiet here, minus Dolce's whining, its a cool crisp morning, Free Practise starts in a couple of hours, and i haven't had a tab today yet, smoking helps me control my temper, so this, this is good.


*enjoys the moment*

I'm depressed. I'm having a baby shower (of course), and I can't invite all my friends. This may have something to do with a lot of them living in other countries. I want my H.E. buddies to be there. *pouts*

I'm there in spirit!

Do you have a webcam? Cos you could turn the webcam on at the shower and we could all watch, and be apart of your shower ... if not, just take loads of pictures and i'm sure we can photoshop them so it looks like we're there

*huggles*

It's an outdoor one so even if I had a webcam, it would likely be impractical. I'll make sure lots of photos are taken, though. I bet I can con my Nikki-friend into taking photos. Unfortunately, my boyfriend won't be in any. He doesn't allow his image to be online. Poo-poo head.

buy him a mask and make him wear it so we atleast no he was there

I think i've just broke something, my friend is here, cos we watch F1 together (her mum banned F1 from their home in 1994, like my mum did, and my friend Jessie isn't allowed to watch it at all, even though she's 26 and engaged, but she still lives at home, so she sneaks over to mine haha) and normally we're throwing inults, well i throw insults but i have to be nice and not say any, whats the word, derogatory(?) comments about Nelson Piquet Jrn, who i absolutely i want to make babies with, but his driving talent is lammmmmme, anyways, i always insult him and i'm not allowed cos i promised J i wouldn't, anyways, i'm lost ... oh yeah broke something, so me and J were watching the tv and the video for Diva by Beyonce came on and we both jumped up and started doing the dance, which by the way i have almost mastered! Anyways, we busted our butts to Diva, then Hoedown Throwdown came on and i helped J learn it, then Jai Ho came on! I was like DANG IT! is there a conspiracy to have me dancing my legs away today? SO we danced the dance to that, then i thought right i'm changing the channel ... and Single Ladies was on ..... and now i'm hurting, because i didn't intend to dance like 4 dances without warming up first and omg i feel like my calf is going to explode!

I'm sure he would totally go for that. Maybe I'll just cut his head out of the picures. Or, I could super-impose another head onto his neck using photoshop. Hmm...

On a completely unrelated note...wouldn't it be something to lose $22 billion and still be a billionaire?

rotflmao, i'd like 22 billion to start with!

Ah, its time for my worship to begin, excuse me while i go watch Free Practise!!!!

Just my boyfriend's head. Hmm...that's a bit odd. Anyway, I keep trying to tell him that no one is ever going to believe that I have a boyfriend if I can't give photo evidence, but he just won't listen. I prove that I exist all the time by showing up to events, but his friends are all in Indiana. Poopy.

In other news, I think we had a hurricane last night. Yep. In Indiana. There was lotsa scary wind and lotsa rain. I thought the hotel was going to pull a Wizard of Oz. But that would be a tornado. This was just a hurricane. Okay...maybe a tropical depression.

Welcome to life in Wallsend. That's what the weather here has been like for the last few days, the wind was so bad i could barely hear the tv. It all came to head yesterday, i thought the windows were going to break (thank god for double glazing) anyways, the rain and wind finally stopped at 1am this morning and its so calm and peaceful outside right now, i love it.

Actually, I'm being a touch dramatic. I've seen it much windier here. And rainier too. I'm glad it's so much nicer now where you are.

I should let everyone know that brown sugar and cinnamon Pop Tarts are the worst thing for heartburn ever. Consider yourselves warned.

*huggles pammers*

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!


hehe, I decided to be nice and tell you happy mother's day, seeing as you will have a baby next year to do so!

Seee!!!!!


I CAN be nice...when I wanna


*hums*

I WANNA SEE PICTURES OF THE BABY!!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY ULTRA SOUNDS UP PAMMERS!?!?!

i was beginning to think you are all mad with saying happy mothers day but then i remembered we celebrate it in March/Early April, you celebrate it now, lol.

I've been away for a long time, and I don't have enough time to read all of your posts, so I'm sorry.

Anyway, just update me. I have been away for a long time, I missed the release of the paper and I still have no programme to use to make graphics. Catastrophe it is!!

Please, forgive me for not being able to deal with lots around here. Especially to you Etta, I have, I think, swore to give you at least a banner for the internet awareness thing but I didn't managed to. I'm very very sorry.

Well, I have heard at the graphics slaves' office though that we now have to make banners about depression, though. I'd love to help, though I first need to go back home, or at least ask a favor to somebody I know - who has a photoshop or something - to use their computer. Hmmm.. I think I know someone. Though, I'm shy.

So, Etta, everybody, again, I'm so sorry. But don't worry, once I get back at my mom's or if I do get the chance to use somebody else's computer that has a software I can use for these stuffs, I'll do lots. Oh, this saddens me.

The first compy entry is officially here;

Thank youuu Miss Sashi :D

Hold up ... which compy did you enter Sashi?

Because i told everyone they couldn't enter the ones that Matthew posted in his office, the who's who one. If it was the naming of the pensieve pixie or the music compy then we be good, but if it was the other one, we don't.

I'm going to open a new planning thread in a moment, so everyone needs to check there, put your brains into gear and lets begin working towards Edition 11 .... Little Pumpkin can i put you in charge of a major task? i can? oh goody, i lobe you when you agree with me and you'rs not even here, FIND ME SOME MORE PAPERGIRLS!

*scurries off*

Thanks for the Mother's Day wishes everyone. Unfortunately, I don't have ultrasound pictures. I don't know why, but they've come up missing from where I put them. I'll be checking with the clinic to see if I can get a new copy.

Hope everyone's well!

I missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!

And so did .....


*throws Pensieve Pixie at Stephy's bank*

She.

It's not storming tonight. Nope. No scary storm to growl at me. At least I have a boyfriend now to protect me and growl back at the storm.

Lol well thats good to hear!

I woke up this morning beside a handsome boy who wasn't my boyfriend. He had lush silky hair, and a long body, he loves to snuggle and has an obsession with my ear, he like to stick his nose in my ear. Yes Ladies, he is the perfect man and he is called Dipstick. Now i just need for him to cook and tidy up.

Haha...THE PIXIE RETURNS!!!!!!


*hugglespixie*

NOOOOO!!!!


*protectsthepixie*

owww...mommy...you hit me head...

*tearsup*

*goes off to change this background*

Now i've looked at it properly, well USED the forum to post and PM, i can safely say, i really HATE THIS GREEN! and is it my computer or has the forum lost alot of lines, like on the outside .... i'm totally not getting my point across.

Someone, please, TELL ME HOW TO CHANGE THE SKIN! please. I don't think i can do another day of this.

*runs away fast*

Psst...I'm dumb. Who are all the mods? I may know the answer, but I don't want to miss anyone.

um, Rai, Elfie, Amy, Me, Herbaceoustraitorous, Gemma_Cullen-Malfoy, SlytherinPride7, RhiannonMei, Elana, Rigby, running_swift, Ellemanae .... thats as many i can see, may be some more.

I didn't really know if heads of houses would be included or not.

some should be, like me for example, i'm a HoH but also a mod around the site, you could always ask Rai, Amy or Sharon for a list of staff to be on the safe side.

Urgh this colour is driving me nuts.

Hey, now that is a good idea.

It's such a pain in the neck to be a control freak.

There use to be a thing at the left hand corner at the top that had a thing where you could choose. But I guess it got moved. When they had that light green that was soooooo bright, I would change it cause it was soooo annoying.

I liked that one. This is the first one I've actually not liked. Others took awhile to adjust to, but I think this one is going to take a little longer.

Well i can't take anymore of it, if anyone needs me i will be on Twitter or Facebook or email until Sharon/Amy/Rai can tell me how to get rid of this colour because i can not concentrate on writing my Editors babble here.

I feel like i'm going to fall over board, erlack. Its not so bad on the main forum, i lobe the banner, but the green for posting, yucky....and no borders .... *groans and leaves*

I changed the green to grey yesterday and there have been no borders removed. Actually, there was no green at all in the original layout.

I think it just looks as if there's no border. I can barely see it, but it is there.

I don't see any change .... And i'm with Pamela, there doesn't seem to be any borders, on the outside at least....and i have to highlight the entire forum cos the clickables can't be seen ... that makes no sense to you all but it does to me xD

Right, everyone to work, we have about 6 weeks (why have i been telling myself its 4?) and we'll get nowhere if we just keep sitting in a coffee shop with a coffee checking out the hotness of the guy sitting beside you whilst you flick lazily through Cosmopolitan Magazine. So chop chop. i need updates on how things are coming, i need some pain killers because my head hurts, andddddddd not to freak any of you out, but i need an update by the weekend because i'm going back into hospital on Friday, and i'll be leaving on Friday night as well, they just don't know it yet, and because i know whats going to happen while i'm there, i want a stress free Saturday and Sunday of rest, i want no drama, i want no worries, i want happy happy happy, i also want Nelson Piquet Jrn served to me, naked preferably, on a plate ready to do my bidding, *sighs* i also want a new siggy avie set ... anyone want to make me happy?

Remember, keep me stress free please, i don't think i could bare it if i was dragged back into hospital for 6 weeks and unable to get online again .... i'd rather not have treatment then go through that again.

So far I've gotten three replies from members who've directly dealt with depression and two from the two I asked about friends with depression. Three staff members have replied to the three interview questions I sent off. I've been looking at statistics of teens facing depression, trying to organize my thoughts, etc. I have a feeling this piece is going to have the level of dedication I should have put into my high school term papers but never did.
