    Just got home from a kickass time skating with my fellow fresh meat gals. I've got like three blisters on my right foot, but it was totally worth it. :) My god, I love skating.

    Thanks, we're both really excited! The only downside is that they don't pay for training, which typically lasts for three weeks. However, after he finishes they backpay you for the time, so at least we'll only have to scrimp for a few weeks.

    The fact that somebody actually would type 'please could you give me a recipe for rhubarb crumble ?' into google, makes me giggle.
    But hey, at least they're polite!

    I want to express my gratitude for this site. My enthusiasm for writing has waned in the past few year, and it feels really good to get back into it. This site has helped me realize my goals. I am learning a lot, and I've yet to find a place such as this, where you can communicate with so many writers.

    It's incredible!

    I remember that feeling when I finished my last math class...and now I'm relearning everything so I can do well on the GRE. ;)

    Woohoo! Have fun! :D

    I'm happy because Joel got off early, so now I have someone to sit on the couch with me while I turn into a huge basket case because I'm so nervous about skills tonight.

    And I've just cooked one of the nicest meals ever. Fried mackerel fillet, spinach cooked in butter, and sweet potato wedges. Absolutely gorgeous :D

    Speaking of nicest meals ever, the KFC Double Down is finally available here. It's also apparently among the healthiest burgers available from the fast food giants. I'm excited. I foresee many drunken pilgrimages to KFC in the coming weeks haha

    I won first place in my school's writing contest! :D I got a $100 prize, and I'm so proud of myself -- I really worked hard on my story, and I think I did great.

    Wow, thanks you guys! :D I'm pretty proud of myself -- I worked really hard on my story, and I think it's one of the best pieces I've done in a while. Everyone who's read it has complimented me on it, and I feel accomplished. It's a nice feeling. :) Trying not to get too carried away with it, of course. :rolleyes:

    I'm reading Freedom by Jonathan Franzen, and it's most definitely living up to the hype. I'm addicted to it, I can't put it down. :D
