Offtopic Sofa Time

[Dr.Valentine]

WOW! Everyone is on vacation hahaha, I will be soon, yay summer time!

[jade.stormcloud]

I'm so sorry, Kayleigh. You have every right to want to throw a fit & scream. That's got to be so frustrating & draining. You know we're here if you want to talk. I've two ears to listen with, two shoulders to lean on, & there's a limitless quantity of kleenex on the coffee table, so fire away. I also went ahead & installed a punching bag over in the corner, so if you (or anyone else) need to vent a little frustration, it's there. For now, I'm just sending you big hugs & support.

Well, I'm always the last to know about these things because I pay no attention whatsoever to celebrity culture, but today I was reading a London newspaper and there was a report that DB was being sued for sexual harassment by a woman who was an extra on one of the shows. The charges are pretty serious and rather perverse. I certainly hope none of it is true and he'll be exonerated. But even if that IS the case, it's got to be embarrassing and stressful for him and his family. I didn't really even know about his marital status or that he has two kids. Very unfortunate. Can't imagine what his accuser hopes to gain from all this if she is lying. On the other hand, if she is telling the truth .. well, I don't even want to think about that right now!

[boo]

Been doing a bit of reading and noticed there were a couple of men posting here before I got here. I haven't noticed them posting any more. That's too bad, it would be nice to hear what some guys say about the show.

Ok so I don't really talk a lot on here or about myself as I'm not to good at it but I thought I'd give it ago.

Today I skipped work To go to an open day and The Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Where I'm interested in doing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film, TV and new Media. I guess starting this course ( our beginning of the year is Late January) would depend on me and how good I am at sorting myself out. I'm only at the beginning stages of this but I have hope and I really want to do this which I guess is the first step to getting things done. So my fingers and toes are crossed that I can achieve this.

I can't remember who they said this quote is from but I really like it.

Hey Kayleigh...

Who would blame you? You know we are here for you, even far away.
Of course you have the right to feel so bad and if you need to shout, do it! Find a desert place and let all go out of your body! Express all the things you need to.

Big big hugs honey...

[hanneDK]

Stehp, have fun on your anniversary trip.. you deserve it..
As for the place, we'll take good care of it..Promise no water fights or anything like that - just the thought of what the place looked like after TJ's B-day party.. it was a mess.. Hate cleaning!

Ang, Have a great time in Florida.

Kayleigh: So sorry to hear what your grandmother is going through, can't believe that the doctor's didn't do any test when she got sick, untill your grandfather got mad at them..
I'm sending you a *huge hug* and you've my okay to throw that fit!!


Simone: cool, can't wait to see you there.. I send you a message on FB.. I hope you'll like Liverpool as I do.. It's a very friendly city...

As for me.. nothing much going on, besides almost my "daily" trips to the gym..

[TJ4ever]

Kayleigh, sorry I haven't mentioned it before. Sending you a big hug! And all the best to your grandmother!


Yay, Liverpool! So much looking forward to it! Gonna need a vacation! Thanks for the message, Hanne. I sent you and Judith one, too.

Nothing else happend. Don't wanna go to work tomorrow.

Hi ladies!

It's been a while since i posted. There isn't much going on in my life at this point. My vacation is almost over, just a couple of days, which i have to spend at my sisters and brother in laws house to watch their dogs, fish, house and turtles (who gave me a scare last night (bc one of them escaped out of their aquarium last night and i thought it was a mouse ).

This past week has been very fun (and busy). I've helped out at a radio station on the biggest fair in the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg). We did an almost 24/7 broadcast of everything that happened at the fair. Reporters went in several attractions such as a large rollercoaster, shooting booth and the haunted house.
About the haunted house: it was located right in front of the studio, and while about 5 colleagues where doing their broadcast at night, some (drunk) guy climbed on the attraction and supposedly fell over a calbe or a rail, and fell 8 meters down.

I had to volunteer the next day and because we were the only attraction that could be reached, (by the press) we were flooded with phone calls, e-mails, text messages etc. Also we (i) had to cut out quotes of a police spokeswoman about the accident. It was all a rush, and now i know i really like working under pressure.

Kayleigh: i'm sorry to hear about what your grandmother is going through at the moment. Big hug to you.

Jenny: congratulations to you and your husband.

For the rest: hope that everyone else is doing well, and enjoying their work or vacation.

Talk to you all very soon!

[Kelly]

Just an update with my Bones marathon to try to catch up with all of you: I'm done with season 1. It was good. I'm looking forward to season 2.

[boo]

Ah, season 2. More Jack and Angela stuff.

[Dr.Valentine]

I'm so sorry Kayleigh We are all here for you, we are, all of us your Squints..or friends, if you like that term better :]


As for the DB suit, WHAT?! Has there been any news regarding the validity of the woman's lawsuit?? OMG, Seriously?! That makes me so mad, people need to realize when they've taken something too far. AKJDSHGLKJHWQEf;kih!

[Dr.Valentine]

And, as for Kelly, Season two is still my ranking favorite :] I absolutely LOVE the "almost" spotlight on Hodgela, ooo, the romance! He makes it so easy to feel like you're the one he loves!


Note to self: Tonight's agenda- Man in the fallout shelter, Girl with the Curl, and Aliens in a Spaceship...mmm, I love me some TJ hahaha

[Akarana]

And I'm done! Meaning I'm back here.

Had my last exam today and still can't believe it that I'll find another A on my magisters degree. If they won't grade my magister (master) thesis with something worse than a B then I'll even graduate 'magna cum laude'. Can't believe it really. When I started writing my thesis I was so sure I'd fail every damn exam and here I am.

And now I can write again. I am so..glad to be able to do what I've been thinking about doing all along. (Beside work that is). But first I'll go and take a long shower, scrub the stress away with my moroccan spa olive soap and the new fancy hair products I bought in celebration and then I'll crash into my bed, set up my laptop, switch on the TV, relax, don't study and just WON'T think.... for the first time in at least 10 weeks when i've been torn between two jobs and my finals and thesis. Can't say it often enough: I'M DONE WITH UNI!!!!

(Ok, my prof tried talking me into writing my dissertation and I have to say it doesn't sound as bad as it still did while I was studying.... I might even think about it.. in a month or so )

[cutenebula]

Ok, here are some little news from France

The weather is really cool, fresh mornings and warm afternoons. It would be great if mornings were warmer so we could have breakfast in the garden, but well, summer in France isn't supposed to be like Polynesia

For my personnal situation: holidays are very close!!! Tomorrow is my last day as an assistant and I'll finish at the pool next week! Yeah!! So I may say I'll be on holidays from next monday to the 22nd of August!!! Ah!!! Long sleeps in the mornings!!! ... Errrrr... Well for me a long sleep in the morning is till 9am I'll surely enjoy it!!!

My holidays program?... Mmmmm, let me think about it... I have 3 weeks off (actually only 2 real weeks off, but it's great though!)... I don't have money to travel or do anything, so I'm going to enjoy doing more sports with the kids!!! Run in the woods, more Pilates at home, PLUS some more exercises I've seen on Internet... Aaaah... Internet... It's like a huge library where you can find soooo many things!!!

Talking about Internet, I think it will be a good time for me to spend some more time here and chat with you all, feel free to say hi and let's have fun together!!! Maybe I'll do some waffles... Just for fun... :whistle:

Ah! Gardening of course!!! I have vegetables on the way!!!
Can wait to eat them now (^_^) They're growing!!!

So, nope, no suntan for me this year, I won't have any good occasion for that and to be honest, I have no regret! I'm getting red, but really red, and never have something close to suntan, so I don't mind People will say once again: "oh! it's been raining at the place you've been on holidays?" I also often hear this one: "so, when are your holidays???" "Hahaha... It's over..." lol Well, this happens all the time, I'm used to it

So, in 3 weeks I'll be back at work, I'll be an assistant again and work at the pool again... Unless I find another work We'll see!!!

Ah! It's so good to feel holidays are so close!!!! I haven't taken any since september, I really really need this break!!!!

Oh... Plus I have a break with my man too. He was supposed to have holidays but will finally work and have his days off in september. In August he will work in Paris and as he barely never replies to my messages, I'll be really single for 4 weeks... --> maybe... Let's say he's honest, we'll see how it turns in september...
There are things which never changes...

Ah! Almost forgot something! I may go through some pretty bad moments as there's a jugement coming along in my family and I would probably have to go with my kids at the Court in August or maybe in september...Not very funny but some things have to be done. So, if I stop writing for a while, once again, I'm sorry, don't be mad at me

Mmmm maybe this message is long enough... I'm not supposed to write as much as in a snail mail!!! Though I love snail mail too (^_^)

I'll be back soon!!!

Véro

[Sinkwriter72]

My class is done! My class is done!



*collapses, exhausted*

And how are all of YOU?

Don't mind me -- I'll be over in the corner, taking a nap.

[skftex]

*sneaks over and throws a roll at sleeping Sherry.

[Sinkwriter72]

*stealthily pulls out a water gun from under her pillow and squirts the very sassy troublemaker named Sharon* :violence-guntoting:

Isn't it exciting!?!? I just got my final grades, and they're not too shabby!



*falls back down* I have no energy today. I am so tired. That's what happens when you stay up until 5 AM one night, 4 AM another night, and 2 or 3 AM for many nights, studying and working on a class project. Ugh.

And....

[skftex]

WOO HOO WATER!!!!

Grades? You got more than one?

Staying up til 1:30 chatting with crazy people doesn't help either does it?

[Sinkwriter72]

I got my grade for the final project, and one for the presentation of the project.

Staying up til 1:30 chatting with crazy people doesn't help either does it?

I didn't mind that, Sharon! I was wired after completing my class last night, and it was really nice to sit and chat with you.

But I will say that I slept HARD when I finally did go to bed. It's been a very long week.
