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!

You're doing great Pamela It all looks brilliant from what i've seen so far.

I think for my Ettie skeeter, i'm going to take a flippant approach to depression, like have her come across a girl crying in the bathrooms who spills her heart out to the not so caring reporter, who simply pats the girl on the shoulder and says "chin it, get over it and move on" something along those lines, before ending with E.S herself being forced by magic to live the life of a depressed person for one day, then having the spell break and have E.S sort of shocked but humbled by this knew found knowlegde, before spinning off into her usual uselessness.

Also, a friend of mine gave me a great idea, you see, i "lighten" his day with some of the stupid things i do, and he said i should write a book on them, but i don't think i can put my own experiences down on to paper in that sense yet, but i thought of doing a mini series in the Pensieve, like taking a general good day like Friday's Karting experience and writing about how it went from being a good day to me running my friend off thr track, breaking his arm, then, whilst everyone fussed over him, i got myself stuck in some tyres, i freed myself and fell forward, landing on my face, i now have a bump the size of Earth on my forehead.

doggie place? what's that? I got two guinea pigs! They're really cute!

... Stephy ... i am speechless in regard to the untimely demises of your guinea pigs. lol poor things.


Don't worry about not having anything written up yet, i'm going slow myself, mainly because i've no energy or brain power, and i'm preoccupied with buying a new car.

*gives Streamies cookies* nice to seeeeeeeeee yooouuuuuu. :D

*pops* Whoah! *dies*

Of all these skin changes, Streamies' new set gave me kind of a headache at first sight. It's just bright, and I seem to be not that used to see bright things now. lol But dun worry Streams, it's uber cool! I think I'll be stalking you, cause yer set brightens up my day. lol That sounds cheesy. XD

*curls up in a ball and pulls Duvet over self*

I feel so ill, its not funny, i have no energy and all i want to do is sleep but i can't cos i can't breath, it feels like having Hayfever and the Flu at the same time.

I'd like to die getting high on paint fumes, that would be cool.

*offers up a spare duvet*

Lets just lie hear and watch everyone do what they're supposed to ... do you want some chocolate to make you feel a bit better? I have Galaxy i always have Galaxy when i feel ill.

Aww I hope you feel better soon! *makes tea and toast* And Ettie, good luck at the hospital!

I've actually written something WEEKS in advance! I've posted it but it still needs editing. It's kind of long.

Lol Sashi, my set IS bright, I confess it matched better to the old colors of the site which weren't so pale, but I was too lazy to make myself a new set so pulled an old one out. xD

I think I may snap and hurt someone tonight.

*sneaks in*

I'm supposed to be in the car, waiting for my friend to take me to hospital but, meh, he's gone round to the shop to stock up on supplies cos we're in for a long day.

Stephy, Galaxy is this beautiful, rich, creamy, smooth chocolate that is to die for.

Pamela, please don't hurt or kill someone today, i'd like to still be able ot talk to you when i escape and i won't be able to do that if you're in prison.

Dum dee dum

Here I are!

Ekk...that sounds sooo not good..

Here i am! better XD

Dudes..I went to bed before sundown yesterday XD these Exams are killing me. Expected it from Monday night to Thursday when I wont be on XD

Poor Lesley and Stephy and everyone who is doing exams!

I escaped the hospital after about 2 hours of waiting, got as far as my friend's car with my other friend's lappy, was quickly posting on Twitter when all of a sudden i saw my friend Adam coming towards me, sooo busted. Anyways, i got seen pretty much traight after that, had my injenction, slept all the way home and woke up 10pm last night only to pass out again at 11:15pm whilst sitting on my puter.

I think there's an abandoned cat next to mine its been crying alot lately, more since yesterday, its really dirty and i wish i could just go down and find it. bring it in, feed and water it, give it some attention and then ring the RSPCA, but i'm concerned that if i ring the RSPCA they might decide to take away Dolce because of how small and thin she is, even though she had kittens in January, she's only just started puttin weight back on, and the vet had said it was normal for her lose so much weight after having kittens and that she'd get bigger, well she's making up for it, John's started calling her tubby again ... i'm worried she may be pregnant.

Ekk...my cousins cat is like that. Have kittens and then mates again. Cats are the worse with having kittens over and over.

On the good news for me, I finished my history exam in five minutes thats what happens to history geeks XD

On a bad note...I have them tuesday and weds. NO MORE SCHOOL AFTER THAT!!!!!

Ekk..I'M SOOO HAPPY FOR THE LAST DAY!! I'm debating rather I should go just to go or stay home.

In my high school, its an unwritten law that students skip the last day of school, we did it all the time, for everyone. lmao, like my bestfriend's brother was in year eleven and leaving school, we were in year nine and decided, in honour of her bro, we'd skip the last day of term as well, and then we did the same for our cousins, and so on, on my last day of school, the teachers didn't even turn up cos the whole school was empty, no one bothered to go in lol.

Hah I think its an unwritten law everywhere to skip the last day Xd

I use to love going on the l.ast day. But I really want to go because my favorite teacher..my history teacher...is getting let go because a new head coach was hired and is bringing other coaches next year. BOO!!!

And its sad because he has two children and one was just born this year. Just about everywhere here is out of business. People are leaving and soon we will be a ghost town. Walmart is the only thing open. My cousin lost her job and about 2 schools have been closed to save money.

I harmed no one, except myself. I ate a cheeseburger at work Thursday evening. Friday morning, I woke very ill. I won't be graphic, but I'll say I lost a lot of fluids even though I had been drinking plenty of water. The tummy cramps were so bad, I thought I was having contractions. I called my doctor and he said if I'm still sick in the morning, to go into urgent care. I did, and they made me do an embarrassing test and they put an IV in me. Since I was dehydrated, they had a very difficult time doing so. They had to make four attempts. My hands hurt! It doesn't seem like they should hurt so much. Ah well, at least I'm all better now.

*huggles pamela* We can compare IV scars, doctors in hospitals can be evil, very evil, i have a nice bruise on my leg off where i got one of my injections on Friday, it hurts real bad when i touch it, and thats the worst thing, i love touching bruises, even though they hurts, i just have to touch them!

Walmart is Asda here and its not as bad as the US from the sounds of it. We have four major stores like that here, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury's. Tesco and Asda are the main rivals in my area, i prefer Tesco, Asda is too far out of my way and Tesco is just along the road. BUT! There's a new Morrisons opening up as well pretty close to where i live (they won't however be giving me a new job, so i'm stuck temping, although my current boss loves me lmao)and i think Asda and Tesco will suffer a drop in business here, anyways, i'm rambling, my point is, Asda/Walmart may not be directly to blame for the closure of many shops in my area, they are still a major factor, in my town we used to have hundreds of shops, nothing i loved more than walking along the High Street East to High Street West, stopping in at the Forum for more shops. Now there's only the forum and only about 12 shops left. Its so very sad.

And do you know what shop i miss the most? The chocolate shop. heavenly chocs they sold.

Our town is pretty lucky. We've managed to keep a strong downtown despite the Walmart and Applebee's explosion over the years. We have quaint little restaurants where the chef and the owner are the same person. We have cute little shops where you can get damn near everything. And ice cream parlours. We have those, too.

We were fine with our small walmart. Barely anything in it, but it was still good. THEN THE TOWN WATSED MONEY ON A SUPERCENTER!!!!

Worse Idea Ever

We are a small town. We have old shops like from Sweet Home Alabama when she first comes back to Greenville (which isnt that far from here XD they have a sign that said Peterman and Greenville on the square XD)

And all the money they are wasting on building stuff we dont need, they need to be using some of it to help the schools. We already have nothing. And with this new Walmart, we arent going to have much business and everyone is going to end up moving and then guess what? NO ONE WILL NEVER KNOW OF MY TOWN AGAIN!!! hehe maybe thats good. I hate it here.

And I hate IV's. I havent had one since last year for some test on my back. My veins are so little that he blew one out and injected the stuff into my arm and it burned so bad that I started crying and screaming for him to stop. I had this huge not full of the stuff in my arm. But it made me feel high when they got it into the vein.

They rarely find a vain on me, last month when i went to hospital for my treatment they couldn't get one in my hand, arm, thigh, so they used my foot, was so very painful it hurts to even think about it.

Good news though! Kate has agreed to join me in a top secret mission to cover Cannes for Celebsville like i said though its top secret but if you remember our "antics" at the Hoscars you can expect the unexpected.

I'm trying to get loads done at the moment, but my energy is starting to zap away, suckies. Rai posted the Pensieve award points in the Pensieve Award Points thread by the way, well done everyone who took part, and for the three who didn't, well your P45s were posted out to you on release day so buh bye. Nah only kidding, the only 3 that got dropped were the 3 who hadn't done anything for 3 consecutive editions, like i had promised to do.

*highlights Streams' set*


Now, it looks....Ravenclawy!!!

I'm in a hurry, that's why I should not be hanging too much in here. Need to go to the bathroom. XD I mean home.

urgh, arg, urgh.

I hate this part, i've been so hyper and happy all weekend and now my downer is here, i'm feeling awful emotionally and physically.

Bad weekend for my sports as well, in F1, Nelson Piquet Jrn got hit and had to retire, and now Renault are going to sack him, and thats not fair because it wasn't his fault, and he was having a good race keeping pace to his team mate, so if he gets sacked its WRONG! *stamps feet* My local Football club, the pride of my city, got relegated from the premireship along with another team from the north-east, oh how we cried, but we still sang for our team, for our city, for our pride. Thats what it means to be a Geordie, you can knock us down, you can batter us to near death, you can hurt us as much you can, but nothing will compare to the pain of watching our team go down, they say Geordies don't have red blood (we do i should know i checked when i first heard someone say i didn't have red blood) that the black and white of the toon runs through our veins. *sigh* i hate football. And don't no-one insult me by calling it soccer, its Football good old football, we don't call American football rugby now do we?

*thinks* i wonder how bad the riots were in town last night, i'd best check in on the news.

I call it soccer if I'm talking to someone from America and football otherwise. I also qualify American football as such in that case. If you called American football rugby, that would be such an insult to rugby.

Lol yeah, my ex used to call American Football "baby rugby" because of all the protective gear they use.

I found a list of things i'd made when i took over the Pensieve of the things i didn't want in the Pensieve, things that would problems, and one of them was religion.

I'd written "its best to leave religion at the door as no doubt someone will get offended." and its true, a few terms back we did a debate on what came first the chicken or the egg and someone used religion as their argument, saying God created the Chicken blah blah blah and whilst i was restrained in my attack, that person complained to another mod to which they were told "you opened yourself up for the attack by bringing your religion into the debate, you showed no respect for other people's beliefs" which is true, if you're going to use your belief as an argument for something then you should respect other peoples belief at the same time. So i figured it best to leave those things out of the pensieve because it will upset people.

I'm so tired, my whole body aches. I think i might settle down today and watch Cats and Les Mis nothing like a good old musical to make me feel better. I might watch Pearl Harbour as well ... and some more shameless

Ooh. Cats. I love that musical. No one I know seems to, though.

Well they're just blah.

Finished watching Rent, cried like a baby as usual, about to watch Les Mis, then Pearl Harbour, thought i'd check my emails first though lol.

I'm going to run a Musical Movie Review thing in the Pensieve, i just decided, trying to educate the masses on how brilliant a theatre production is as well as a movie producation. But it'll be mainly the movie versions that i work with.

*blinks*

Lily is back? For good?

*blinks rapidly*

Lily, lily? Former HoH Lily?

*faints*

*comes too*

Is she really back or are you just winding me up? Cos if she's back i think we need to have a parrrttttyyyyyy.

Coming in as another witness. XD She is back, as I've said at the common room, I personally haven't talked to her before, but I know her - though just through her old posts.

And yep, a party for her come back is a good one, also thought of doing so. Well, a former HoH does deserve a come back party, right? Hehehe.

*throws magic cooler into middle of the room*

Its nice that an oldie has returned, i just hope things don't go back to the way they were, for al our sakes.

Mind to share what was that?

This is one of the longest days I've ever had. I feel like it should be 4:30 PM, not 1:30. Can't I just go home already?

Sashi - I'm going to leave it all in the past, where it belongs, let sleeping dogs lie and all that jazz.

Pamela - i feel for you.

Now, who wants to sing with me? I woke up this morning singing this in my head and i feel i have to share it with EVERYONE! So, clear those throats and sing with me, and try not to cry, then again, who am i kidding, i still cry at the end!

*sighs* i always wanted to be Eponine in Les Mis and now we sing her final(ish) song.



EPONINE
Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You're here, that's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow.

MARIUS
But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above,
If I could heal your wounds with words of love.

EPONINE
Just hold me now, and let it be.
Shelter me, comfort me

MARIUS
You would live a hundred years
If I could show you how
I won't desert you now...

EPONINE
The rain can't hurt me now
This rain will wash away what's past
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
I'll sleep in your embrace at last.

The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed!
The skies begin to clear
And I'm at rest
A breath away from where you are
I've come home from so far
So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius

I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now

That's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close

MARIUS(in counterpoint)
Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine,
You won't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt you now
I'm here

I will stay with you
Till you are sleeping

EPONINE
And rain...

MARIUS
And rain...

EPONINE
Will make the flowers...

MARIUS
Will make the flowers... grow...

(She dies. Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground)

*cries*

Just one hour and ten minutes left. Somehow today went quicker, even though I had less to do and the same amount of hours here.

*big huggles*

I'm sorry Stephy. *group huggle*

If it makes you smile, i'll tell you about what happened last night when i went out with my friend after dance class and we got very merry and started dancing on the tables and her table collapased and i fell off mine cos i was laughing and now i have a bruised bum.

I know the existence of Les Mis's greatness, but never got the chance to see it. Even with the thought that I love Lea Salonga, she played I think I little girl one for about how many times.


Oh well, one day I'll have the chance, if not on stage then in any other place either in person or the net. xD

And, sorry about yer granny Teffteff. *huggles* I feel for you, really. I'm in somewhat a same situation, "somewhat".

I'm very sorry that the two of you are going through something like that. I don't know what I'll do when my grandma passes. She was very instrumental in raising me. I still go to her often when I need emotional support.

I'm listening to After Midnight, a syndicated country music radio show, and studying in that book I was given about six weeks ago. I took a break for too long. Stupid lack of motivation.

I've begged my mum to take me to London to see Les Mis in the West End, i think she will because her other options are a Wii or a laptop and well, Les Mis will be cheaper for her lol.

I finished the book which the musical and film are based on last night, i only bought the cheap penguin classics recycles book for £2 and to say the story is cut is a lie, its been shredded down to fit into this little book, the actual book, all 1200 pages costs £10.99 for paperback so i have to wait until i get paid next month to buy it, but i also want to get this beautiful hardback version for £20 as well, god its divine!

And i think i know which classic i'm going to get next, I'm sticking with Victor Hugo and i'm gonna read The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Also, what do you guys think about doing a Classic book review section? I know we normally have book reviews, but what about doing a classic as a group review? We'd do like Streamies does the Opinions, we all read the chosen classic and then express our thoughts on said classic in the specific thread. We'd have to agree on a book and be reasonable as well, lol, because some of us may not have a copy of said book and whilst i know Borders do the penguin classics here for £2 (and if the guy in the shop was right they also do them in the USA) not everyone can get their hands on a classic cheaply. So its just an idea and as i said, it'd be a group thing.

Oh and its not looking good for me to go on holiday

I would get into that. I have access to quite a few classics. If I don't have it at home, my boyfriend's sister may have whatever we choose.

I has a big sleepy.
