GENERAL HOUSE COMMON ROOM PART 22

Mweh, reality shows .... I hate the whole bunch o' them! XD

But an anti-partner-searching show would be quite a funny thing to watch xD

...no xD

I don't want to be thankful just because Americans are thankful, like, one day in a year xD If I ever decide to be thankful, I want to be thankful more than once a year, and preferably not include any family to it. Or celebration. Or even name the day "Thanksgiving day"

I mean, seriously.

...anyway. I saw a naked squirrel today. It had no fur. None. Zero. Freaky.

Haha Happy Thanksgiving, Kim!

Meh, not American myself, but nothing against a bit of thankfulness - although I agree with Caree, it shouldn't be only a one-day thing. But as long as one remembers to be thankful also in the remaining 364 days of the year, I see no harm in a celebration of thankfulness. :D

Also, ... ZOMG, that's a creepy squirrel! xD

I know, right? xD I was too freaked out to react in any other way than just stare in shock. Then my friend went "...that was odd", and we just burst out laughing :D

I'm pretty sure it had some sort of disease, or something, because that is so not normal xD It was like a... rat.

Haha so thats what thanksgiving day is about... I'm (obviously) not american, and i always thought thanksgiving was what you guys called christmas... haha whoops

ANd Caro that squirrell sounds super wierd. I'm scared.

Now when I think about it, your Thanksgiving is like our "little Christmas" - kind of xD I mean, in Finland we celebrate something called "little Christmas", which takes place on the last weekend in November.

I think.

See, this weekend was "little Christmas", so... we ate some Christmas food ('some' being the joke of the year - I'm stuffed! xD) and gave presents. See, in our family, we've always given ONE present to those we spend our "little Christmas" with, so...

I GOT A NEW DIGICAMERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD

...and chocolate.

Anyway.

I'm done now :D

You get TWO christmasses?!? A little one and a big one? Thats heaps awesome, but I'm heaps jelous now. I'm considering moving to your country lol. Cool presents though, I need a new digital camera... and now im craving chocolate XD

*goes to get some chocolate cake* mmmmm yum

Well, in our family, it was preparing for Christmas, meaning... preparing our tiny bodies to stuff ourselves into hospital condition. See, our family consists of skinny people with low food-tolerance - and then there's me, who can eat anything at any time xD

I'm not picky.

So yeah, preparing ourselves was a question of life and death.

Yeah, and I also got a new bracelet - it's handmade, it's from Italy

...meaning, my friend bought the stuff from Italy when he went there, and then made the bracelet xD How confusing. And odd.

ANYWAY - it's very pretty

Haha your family sounds like the complete opposite to my family. My family is all greek on my mom's side, so the are all a bit overweight and can eat and eat and eat like there's no tomorrow, and then there's me who doesnt really eat that much (well in comparison to them anyway). SO its probably a good thing we only have one christmas... there wouldnt be any food left after the first one ;lol.

And yeah that is slightly odd, but i think its heaps sweet that your friend went to the trouble of getting all the stuff from overseas and makeing it for you and stuff XD So i think its really nice

I'm not a family person. Never was. Never will be. That's just how I was raised, so...

Anyway, no, my friend didn't go all the way just to get me stuff to make a bracelet off, he was there two months on a "vacation", and came back to Finland last night xD He said something about making it on the flight home... which is understandable, because it can be a bit boring.

Im not really much of a family person either, despite my moms best efforts *shrugs*

Haha but yeah i figured your friend didnt fly overseas to get you stuff to make a bracelt lol but its still super cool, and i think your friend is really sweet XD

Mwahah :D

...anyway, I'm gonna watch some Star Wars, drool over Darth Vader, giggle at Han Solo, and be Team Yoda - TOODLES! :D

Haha sounds fun Darth Vader was wayyy hotter BEFORE he got all Vadered-up. I mean come on, in the third movie? Hello XD. Bye bye Caro

I like the sound of the "little Christmas"! .... actually, cut the masses of food (although it wouldn't hurt - I'd probably just take it and ration it over a week, that way I'd save myself the trouble of walking to the supermarket XD) ... I want a present! XD

... a camera would be nice, seen as my old one seems to have forgotten how to take pictures - I press the button and literally *nothing* happens. xD

Also, how long do you fly from Italy to Finland? I imagine it must be something like, what, 4 hours-ish? :/

I'm not quite sure, actually o.O It can't take THAT long! Although, he had to make a stop on the way and change planes, because there was something wrong with the plane, or whatever.

But yeah, it can't take too long, since... well, it's within Europe :D But still - I get all jumpy and nervous in four hours stuck on a plane.

Urg, i get all funny on areoplanes too. I go al white and shaking and feel super sick. Air travel = not fun i say. But i have to o on one in january... cause i'm comeing to the US of A! Well kinda, Hawwaii is in america right?

...yes, Zig.

I'm fine with flying, I just get super bored xD

Wow, Hawaii, that sounds like fun!

Ehehehe I love flying! :D I love how you can just take time out and read or listen to music, or watch stuff ... 'tis cool - I also love airports and all that excited atmosphere :D

.. only thing I maybe love less is having only 45 minutes between connection flights and having to run through the airport to get to the second gate in time for boarding XD ... had that about 3 times so far, and having it again when I fly home for Christmas, meh...

But yeah, an airport or an airline company is one of my career ideas - it's so tough though, and everything needs to be perfect and on time, otherwise you get angry passengers and all of what comes with that - and with the size of airports nowadays, it's not easy to coordinate everything. That's why I am happy when I see how well the system works, again and again! :D ... 'course, they mess up once in a while, but I statistically, they're doing pretty well (only, when they *do* mess up, the trouble that creates is quite noticeable xD)

Hehe

Urg y'all are crazy. I hate flying lol.

But that sounds super hectic! WHich is good i guess, but gaahhhh stress much lol. Thats why i wouldnt like it but if you can handle that kinda pressure, good for you go for it haha.

Lol, just had the whole "running through the airport" thing again today. .... but at least I had a good reason to jump the massive queue for the security check: "sorry, can I pass, I have a short connection, my boarding is in [looks at watch].... sh****t!" XD

But yeah, other than that my flight was unspectacular.

Am home now!!! :D :D :D :D *jumps* WOOOPIEEE!

... you can't imagine how good it feels. :D


Also, to everyone still living with their parents: treasure it while you still can! ... because a time will come when you will miss the magically full fridge, the mother-cooked food, the luxury of an apartment with proper heating+isolation, where you can have your room as warm as you want to, without dreading the bills that you will have to pay .... XD

... student life is frugal, to say the least lol. XD

I don't miss it, Shekerim, because I never really had all that family-life :D I quite enjoy living on my own - the feeling of freedom

*pops in*

And that's the "Free Owl" talking. xDD

*dramatically twirls out*


LOL

I should be the president of Finland, yes, I know :D

Okay...I gotta catch up on conversation!

Thanksgiving: Yeah, once a year...Americans are kinda hypocritical in that way..they complain all the time about things, and then suddenly it "thanksgiving" and they act like they love life! Grr! See...I'm not like that...but a lot of people are...But most people are stupid anyways...so yeah...

Little Christmas: That's sooo coool! I wish we had that! Haha, but there is this unofficial holiday that sooome cheap, or smart, people go by...they have Christmas in the new year because everythign is so much cheaper from holiday sales..so they just wait about a week for Christmas...haha, sounds like a bargain to me!

Airplanes: Love them!! I always have liked flying! I mean I know how dangerous it is...but everything is dangerous pretty much..it just is higher up on the list...literally, haha. XD And I know the rush that you're talking about Cris! That's nice that you're home! And that's really funny about your little story! haha.

ANd.....Ziggy...when is your Christmas? It's not the same as ours? (Dec 25th..) Or am I wrong and stupid about the world things like that again?

Whew! I caught up now! haha.

HIII everyone! *waves* And Caro...what do you have in Finland? Not a president? ANd if you were president...at least one place would have a decent prez (Don't wanna stir up some drama with that comment...but yeah..)

Ho-ho-ho! Meeeeeerry Christmas, everyone!
Enjoy the cheesiness of these few days, hope you're having a white Christmas, and that Santa brings you lots of pretty, shiny, fluffy things!

Or, if you celebrate anything else other than Christmas, Happy Holidays! :D

We do have a president, a FEMALE president :D Also, I have tiny feeling, that if I ruled in Finland, it'd be scarily close to a dictatorship xD

Woah...that's cool Caro, a female prezzie!! Haha, you got there before us!

And Happy Holidays to everyone!!! Have a great new year! I'm excited to have a neeeew year! Yay!

Our current Pexy is also a female, but most Filos don't like her. Cause she's evuhl. xD
She's the second female pexy, first female prexy was the good one though, the one I put on my siggy the last time. Anyway, we'll be having an election next year, so bye-bye to her. :D

Happy New Year in advance people!

Did everyone have a lovely New Year? I know I did :D Anyway, I just wanna say that... well, nothing, really xD

Except...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! >:]

hahaha, i actually didnt tbh Dx

what did you do for new year caroru? ;'D

Thank you Erika ! (L)
Haven't been on here in ages Dx
Did you have a nice christmas/new year? :}

I celebrated it with my boyfriend - it was also his birthday - and met some of his friends, tried to impress them and all :D But I had a really good time, danced until my feet hurt xD

How was your New Year?

You tried to impress them? I bet you failed xD

Hahaha awhh well im glad you had fun(:
I was stuck baby sitting :|

Actually, Rainman - they thought I was cute, adorable, and very funny... and they kept asking why I was "stuck" with my boyfriend, and "Didn't you find anyone better?" xD

Oh dear I'm afriad of those people now XD

Clearly delusional!!!

Btw Caru how have you been living without awards?

... I agree - they are completely bonkers xD

Well, I've survived... somehow. I just realized there was no point trying to get you to do awards - nothing happened, ever. There was a time I was the only one posting on this site, and no, I'm not counting RPing as posting.

It's not posting in my world xD

I live in a bubble.

ANYWAY!

I simply gave up. There's no point. You're not going to do anything about it, anyway.

Satisfied with that answer? :D

Well, things may change sooner than you expect XD

Yeah, Rai has been gathering his forces of change and rocking his own socks along the way XD

...there's nothing to boast about rocking your own socks, man :D

Other's socks, on the other hand, is a totally different matter xD

Anyway.........


NOMINATE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, VOTE FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! *goes crazy*

Let my rocked socks alone XD

We'll have awards again Caru when we have enough people around again, so start nagging peopel to return XD

Like they would listen to me -.-

I'm sorry, but no one listens to the HE Owl anymore :D

I listen to you Caro XD

But I'm already here, so XD

BUT THE ONES I WANT TO COME BACK HAVE LIVES AND I NEVER GET TO TALK TO THEM >.<

... sad times.

What's even more sad is the fact that I heard today that my dad had a heart attack on Monday evening I haven't been in good terms with him lately, so it's really, really hard right now. I don't want to complain or anything, or be angsty, because that's not me, but I just wish I could be there with him right now
