well at least I tried to....now everyone is going to think I am a nice person :( lol

nope, now they'll know it - you are what you eat

:( oh well

my kids just put my powder foundation all over the house :(:( *achoo*

Gesundheit!

Guess it seemed like a fun thing to do at the time...

yeah for them maybe lol

Well, that's what I meant. Parents have to find their fun in the more imaginative messes their kids come up with

lol very true

My little sister got ahold of that shoe powder once o.o She had fun sliding on it while I turned my back for 5 minutes.

Hehe, kids.

Good Morning World!! how is everyone this bright and beautiful morning??

Alright thanks, Heather. Have to do History coursework, though. How be you?

i'm orytee also thanks. and i am in the middle of doing stupid R.E. course work which i am positive makes no sense what so ever. we have to do a peice on The Vicar of Dibley, peice on euthanasia on Holby city and one on specifically religious programmes. i don't have a clue about any of them. all of this bloody course work for only half a bloody GCSE!! apart from that i am good anyway :)

I am in the middle of doing nothing!! It is so exhausting too :D:D:D:D

Well, if anyone can manage it, you can! :D:D

Oh I am not sure if I can Cogito....it is sooooooooo very very hard!

You want lessons? I'm something of an expert :p :D

Sounds good to me Banzai...I could do with some lessons I think lol

How sad am I? Having finished my history coursework, my boredom has led me to wish that I had more of it to do! :p

Hows it goin?

What, life? Very, very slowly :p

Hehe. You need to have more fun then!

slow saturday here in NC also. but that is a good thing. first weekend in months I have no family events, or parties, or anything that will take up all of my only free time...

Today is slow and relaxed, but tomorrow is my Graduation ceremony down in Boston

Oooh, exciting.

Coolies! now I know someone that has graduated... hang on... what you graduating from?

man i feel old. graduated over 15 years ago ...

age is an illusion in the mind

well it is just a number, but lately I actually feel older in certain situations I use to not feel the same way.

It's a pretty good illusion then! hahaha. What time is it where you are?

yup i like illusions

Ug. My back hurts. and i'm cold

Have a massage.


*massages*

God my aunt gave me this amazing massage last night, made me feel a whole lot better.

*sobs*

Aw, what's wrong love?

I want a massage too!

Lol. *gives Dropbear a massage*

Awww. tanku! *Gives banzai a cookie*

Yay! Cookie! Vielen Dank!

Someone sure does crave cookies. Hmmmm...

I bake a killer Cinnamon peanut butter chocolate chip cookie.

But did you steal the cookie? Now that is the question...

Is there any other way to get cookies?

Buy them on the black market?

The only way left to get any cookies is to go and see Hulls Raven. He has got quite a large stash of them hidden away in a back pack that is stored under the floor boards of the admin and mod lounge.

Oh, so that's what that cookie smell is...

So did he steal the cookie from the cookie jar?

We'll never know...

Yes! Yes he did!

Damnit! Corruption in the staff!

yessum

Garbage

yeah you stole that from my house last time

First stealing cookies, now garbage... Is there any logic to it at all?

Not sure really! Bit strange don't ya think!?

Depends. You might have very nice garbage? :p

It is possible

Or maybe it's something more sinister... Like he's trying to clone you!

ahhhhhh RUN!

Lol. We've uncovered Hulls Raven's plot to create a clone army of Toranas, and take over WF!

This poor poor forum, I pity you all.....

Run while you still can!!!!!!

First thing that entered my mind?

DECAF! :D

The new Torana empire will rise up, and take the forums, before overthrowing Hulls Raven.

Nah, decaf is boring.

I don't see the point of decaf... isn't coffee supposed to wake you up?

But Cogito if I decaf i will sleep and and and and then I would not be able to post here and and and i would be boring and and and I like the sounds of domination....first the forum then the WORLD!!!!!!! bahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa

Ok, ok - Have a double espresso :)

(but boring??? I doubt that!)

hahahahaha

coffeeeeeeeee!

Coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

YEAH coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Great minds think alike:D:D:D:D

Ahh thank you! You are a goddess!

Orange peel :D

I have the most amazing smelling orange mist.

Orange mist?

It's a body spray x)

Oh....Cool.

good evening everybody. i've had a god day, looked quite good (i thought) as we went to Newcastle for the day.

Cool. What's the weather like up there?

raining, lol. it hasn't stopped raining for more than five minutes at a time, i mean everything is flooding. it is terible. how about your weather?

i'm off now anyways, getting some hot choccie and watching mile high in an hour or so. have a good night everyone :)
Heather

Goodnight :)

-crunchcrunch- Fresh ice cream, fresh peaches, strawberries, plums and nanners. How could you not like California?

Yeah but do you have....erm....polar bears?

In the Zoo, I erm.. think.

The Roger Williams Park Zoo, in Rhode Island, has a polar bear. His pool has an observation window at the bottom end so when they throw fish to him, you can see him diving to catch and eat them from below.

I have a stuffed teddy polar bear, he's fluffy.

Stuffed fuzzy animals are great listeners

as am i

I try to be

all my friends talk to me and i always listen, they say im their shrink sometimes, except i actually help them lol

My friends aren't really like that with me, just my family. I'm the one they call when something bad happened.

my family i cannot talk to, i always talk to my friends

not sure that I understand my family or my friends

lol they r meant not to b understood

No, it's an unwritten law that family in particular make no sense. Neither do women, actually, come to think of it.

The secret rules of women.

Will never be known by any man.

It's no secret that women rule

The code can be cracked if studied long enough. Although just one flaw can throw the machine into a frenzy.

Not all mysteries demand solution. There is room for unexplained wonder in the world.

Especially when it involves hormones.

ROFL (hrm, that was lame. That's all that came into my mind when I read that.)

Actually, what I really believe is that the differences between any two people are greater than the differences between the thinking patterns of men and women in general.

I really do not like preconceptions about groups of people.

Due to the nature of the cliques that humans feel compelled to fall into, it becomes hard not to label groups of people. I share the same feeling as you do Cogito about labeling groups b/c there is a lot of individuality within the group that is never noticed due to the look/preconception of the group as a whole.

Is it wierd that I don't really fall into a group?

No I don't think it is weird, I'm the same way. I like knowing a mixture of people with different backgrounds, by falling into a group it limits being able to do that.

I always thought the Dr. Pepper commercials were hilariously ironic:

"I drink Dr Pepper I'm proud
I'm part of an original crowd"

lol I just joined that crowd due to my beverage choice with lunch and I feel honored.

*whistles Colonel Bogey*

good afternoon everyone. i hope we are allright today :)
Heather

I'm feeling so much better then I was yesterday. I went to see Evan Allmighty, talk about a spirit lifter. You couldn't help but laugh ever 5 seconds.

is it that good?? i thought it wouldn't be as good as Bruce Almighty. i might go and see it when it gets released in England. lol. i went to see Vacancy the other day and it was soo boring. it was meant to scary but i spent more time talking to Nick than anything else.

I hate when scary movies aren't scary. Yeah, I personally thought it was pretty good. Though at first I was thinking and missed it. When my mind finally snapped out of it's trance, my cousin and I just laughed. When I laugh really hard I get a snort in my laugh x) It was so embarrassing.

haha, my mam does that. i have a mans laugh so you are allright, lol.

A man laugh owns a snort any day =P

lol. my mam just bought Saw the other day but we are too scared to watch it, lol. is it scary??

-shiver- Very much so, though it's not as bad as some I've watched.

lol, the scariest i have seen has to be What Lies Beneath. that terrifies me. The Descent was quite scary and all

Worse I've seen I don't eve remember the name to. It was just so gory i almost vommited.

lol. one i watched and hated like that was Wolf Creek. it wasn't particuarly scary or gory, it just made me feel sick watching it so i went to bed before the end. lol

What your favorite movie? D= I dun really have one myself. I like too many movies.

my favourite movie is . . . erm . . . oh yes, Hanibal and The Silence of the Lambs. they are amazing films, i love them noth, and the novels. truely genious.

Hm, I did like those. Though they were truly scary. Have you seen Hannibol uprising?

i haven't seen that, no, but i have read the book recently. i didn't think they were scary as such, they just made me think.

i have the book as well, i just haven't read it D= ew@me

lol, i thought the books were amazing, and i prefer the end to Hanibal in the book than on the film.

I never read the books -is lame- Never got the chance to. Though we have them around the house somewhere.

lol, you should really, they are amazing i think.

I only read The Silence of the Lambs, which was very well written. It's also the only one of the movies I have seen.

To be honest, I enjoyed Clarisse more than Hannibal as a character.

-has no say in this- Movie-wise though, Hanibol seemed cooler.

now i liked them both, i thought clarise was interesting and it was nice to have a female role, and i thought Hanibal was an amazing creation. he honeslty had me intuiqued all the way through, and still does now.

Have either of you read the 13 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear?

never heard of it, lol. sorry

Very few people I talk to have =P

lol, ok. what about Stravaganza by Mary Hoffman. have you read or heard of that?? it is a childrens triology and is amazing.

I think I have heard of it actually, though I haven't read it.

lol, you should if you ever get the chance, they are amazing

-munchmunch- Subway is the best.

Dirty urban transit vehicles? Blech!

Yeah, that's why I'm munching on them silly! rid them from the world -munches on dirty metal and wonders how her aching tooth can take the pain-

I guess you have been well trained...

I like cereal :D

I like the warm cereal over the cold cereal.

I just like cereal :D

Rofl, you're adorable =P

Lol. Because I like cereal?

Sure :p It's the way you love it

Hehehe :p

Watch out for the cereal killer!

-hides all of her cereals-

Don't forget to hide the sliced bananas too! Too tempting a cereal topping...

Oh no. :( -hides her poor nanners-

Here, take mine. I hate fruit.

Bananas and sprouts - yum.

*turns green and runs away screaming!* Where's my chocolate!?!

:D:D:D

Sprouts dipped in chocolate spread. YUMMY. (and yes I have done it)

OMG! *Faints in horror.* what did it taste like!?!

Heaven. It didn't taste too good with mustard added as well though.

Ew. Can I ask if you were pregnant or something???? :p

No, just strange in knowing what I like and making the most of it. Needless to say that the rest of the family were gagging slightly at having to watch me eat those things. They had no idea what they were missing.

lol. I bet. I used to eat cucumbers with tomato sauce on the slices. I admit that I still do!

chef boyardee you are not.

I love Chef Boyardee D= It's so fake it tastes like mush. Tasty... mush.

I love bubble and sqeak!

i proper hate bubble and squeak, it's minging.

I basically call it bubble and skeak cause of my mum and dad. It's basically left overs on toast. Yummy. If ya do it right! hahhaa

I prefer Jambalaya for a sausagy casserole.

i've never heard of jambala before, what is it?? and i will be having my crumble tonight. yes, i know i have mentioned it like 1000000 times, but i am proud, it tastes good :D

Jambalaya is a New Orleans dish, with rice, onions,tomatoes, peppers, sausage or ham, and often shrimp or other seafood. It's moderately spicy, and a wonderful comfort food. Everyone has a different Jambalaya variant. I usually make mine with hot italian sausage, shrimp, and often throw in some pepperoni.

I like meat pie. Aussie meat pies. mmmmm. yummo

I wonder if that's like the southern US porkpie.

Hmmm. Maybe. Never been to the US. I love tim-tams. What else is Australian food???? Don't try baked beans.. hmm, u guys probably have that anyways... Kangaroo meat!? Have you ever tried that???? :D

No, but have heard folks sing its praises!

I bake beans with bacon and real maple syrup. Real maple syrup is not overly sweet, and does not brown like cane sugar or molasses.

jambalya sounds yummy, i might experiment and attempt to make it/blow up the kitchen :p and my favourite thing to eat has to be a good old pizza from the local pizza shop. nothing can beat a 12" spag bol.

Blech. Goodbye teeth. bacon and eggs on toast. Yum. Can we stop talking about food now! I gotta go to bed!

some traditional english dishes are Fish and Chips and a good old Sunday dinner. they are the most english dishes i can think of, and i live of them both :p

The best breakfast ever is a peanut butter, honey and banana sandwich. <33 -munchmunch-

I'm told that leftover pizza makes a great breakfast. Trouble is, I don't believe there is such a thing as leftover pizza.

I like homemade pizza the best, although I usually cheat and buy the refrigerated ball of dough.

Mmm, sounds good too :p we actually have some in the fridge right now but I'm full of nanners and bread.

My mum and I make our own dough with my bread machine, which is kind of cheating too x) then we invite whom ever is eating alone and wala, we have a pizza party.

The dough takes enough time to rise and relax properly that I find it more practical to buy it. But actually making bread, I don't take shortcuts with that.

I take shortcuts with the breadmaker when I make bread :p -is lazy- Though I agree on the dough D= it can take up to two hours+ to make enough for a group of people.

Yeah, this took me about 5 minutes to write x) My cousins dog wants my attension and keeps trying to get on my lap.

My only "shortcut" is using a heavy duty stand mixer to mix dough ingredients. I don't own a breadmaker. My favorite rye bread recipe takes three days to develop the sour (yeast, rye flour, caraway seeds, water, and a whole onion) before baking day.

Omg, I so wish my mum cooked like you :p Or I did, but that's a fat chance.

I've had plenty of time to practice.

i made a pizza last year in food, it was quite nice actually. i have like a list of ten things that i can cook, lol. that is it. haha. i want to leanr properly though. and pizza is the best. i had pizza earlier (i made my mam buy me one after we were talking about it) a nice spag bol one, and there is a slice or two left over so that'll be my breakfast tomorrow. :)

I tried to get into the colonary arts class we have, but i'd have to take some nutrition class first. It also teaches me stuff I already know.

My daughter was in culinary arts (in a Cordon Bleu school), but switched out to major in Graphic Arts.

lol, well our food GCSE class looks at both nutrition and how to cook the foods. on our double lesson (wednesday afternoons) we cook, and on friday mornings we write and learn about the foods.

I really want to go to a culinary arts school :p But then I don't know there are other things I really enjoy too.

what are you doing at the moment like?

Hooray!!! Hull's Raven will be fine!

OMGOMGOMG, really? How did you find out?

haha, i know what you feel Cogito. i am soooo releived. ino, we should throw a party!! :D

Bick, Julia posted an update in the Lounge

We'll save the party for when he returns here - a hero's welcome!

Yeah I ran to it after i thought about it. Gah I'm so relieved.

Glad to hear Hull's Raven is ok!! Great news for the day.

A hero's welcome is definitely in order.

For sure. I'm trying to draw a raven for him on this computer :p but it's turning out really really bad.

Hehe. I'm sure it's better than I'd do.

More power to you, Heather!

"power" to Hulls. bahaha I just wanted to be involved in the pun making....(looks around ashamed)

well I hope he returns soon cause stealing cookies isn't anywhere near as fun without him around to help me mwahahahahahhahahahahahaha!

and it was him that stole them by the way!

Um humm. Isn't that a cookie crumb I see at the corner of your mouth?

what!? never.....I...I...I am innocent I tell you! Innocent.
You did it Cogito, I know you did!!!

Innocent I'm not. But cookies? Not my vice, truly. And the cookies were vanishing long before I was on the scene.

Yes because Hulls Raven was stealing them lol

deep dark dank daydreams

wow, that's sad

sadness demoted happiness

huh.

(ha ha I'm not even sure the words just came out.)

waiting for solitude...

haha, ur not gonna get it for another ten mins!

i'm talking to my boyfriend on MSN for the first time in like a week. he is on holiday and i am proper missing him :( how's everyone anyway??

that must be hard. I am tired, haven't slept in a week! :S But home again now so fingers crossed aye!

god, long time ot go without sleep, lol. and it is hard, literally a week after i started seeing him he went away!! he will not be back till next Wednesday and 'cos he lives like an hour away i won't be able to see him till Friday!! :'( lol

well that bites then.
and I am used to no sleep so don't bother me that much. Although I'd love to sleep, just gotta keep an ear out for the little one :)
Well I am sure that when he gets back you will have a wonderful time together!!!

i know, i cannot wait till i see him again, lol. and how is the little one doing?? any better?

I bet you can't lol
She is no better but not worse and full of smiles so can't complain, although I'll be glad to have her get better soon and she will be I am sure!

well i wish her well and give her a big kiss from me :) (K) how has your day been apart from that?

thanks heather.
My day has been wonderful apart from that really. Spoke to a good friend on the phone most of today and catching up with a really great friend of mine on the weekend. So yeah everything is great lol

Hey Torana. Glad to hear your daughter isn't any worse :) You haven't been online for ages. Was it something I said? :p

probably, lol. nah, o.j. how are you then??

suddenly light burst through the window, although it wasn't the typical sunlight he was used to in the morning...

ermmm, good morning?? lol. you seem in a good mood

Certainly a poetic mood.

how about you??

moonflowers wept their spring perfume throughout his house.

and the smell of freshly cut grass infected his nostrils

Suddenly the putrid smell of death overcame his senses

he lept from his seat by the window and peered into the blackening garden

And then danced a jig :D

you just killed it!!! you little bully!! i bet you kill ants in your free time aswell don't you!!

Rusty corpses ambled to the window

their heads rolling and tongues spilling fomr their mouths

Crimson filth splashed across their open maws, creeping towards their next meal

he ran from the window in an attempt to flee the room, but found the door locked shut from the outside
