here's a big fat rant for ya: i won a trip to the bahamas at a 5-star luxury all-inclusive resort where all the suites are oceanview and all the suites come with your own butler. this is not a scam prize thing either, this is legit. the rant? it will be nearly impossible for me to be able to use this. no, i cannot pass it onto to someone else. no, i cannot sell it. i am so pissed off. dude, least awesome. rave: "Just a Dream" by Nelly ------------------ IP: Logged |

rave: saw HP and the Deathly Hallows today...finally! was very impressed. much better than the other HP films. although there really is no excuse for a crappy movie this time...they have double the time to make it properly now. rant: you know the song and video for 'firework' by katy perry? i know its its supposed to be a happy and uplifting song, but all it does is make me cry and feel more lonely. ugh. ------------------ IP: Logged |

rave: sister is in town ![]() rant: finals week Well actually Helen, I don't know if it's really double time with Harry Potter. They worked on both movies at the same time, that's ridiculous really. That must have been hard to do. And I haven't heard fireworks - katy perry, I'll have to check it out and see if it makes me cry haha. IP: Logged |

Rave: I HAVE A JOB!! Starting Thursday and getting paid literally double what I expected. Awesome. Rave: Can't wait to give the OH her Christmas presents, I'm so happy with them. Oh, and we have been together a whole year as of Saturday, which has gone mightily fast! Rave: job is in Newcastle which means I get to move back there and live with the OH, and go kickboxing, and work at the theatre. Have a life, basically. Rave: graduating on Wednesday and I have a lovely new dress. Life is good again. I saw Harry Potter on Saturday and didn't really like it at all to be honest. ------------------ IP: Logged |

gaddict, double the time meaning they have two movies to put everything into. Or so I assume that's what Helen meant! I liked it, just wish I didn't have to wait until next year to see the next one. Munchkin- I'll definitely be checking it out! Awesome! Muse-Pictures??? IP: Logged |

yes thank you Minxy, that is what i meant.
quote: i thought part 1 of the deathly hallows movie was significantly better than the other HP movies. the only thing that pisses me off is that in the last movie (half blood prince) they made up a scene where The Burrow caught on fire...dumbest stupidest thing ever. and then in this movie the burrow was fine again. i know they are wizards, but really? anyway, otherwise i was happy with it. rant: i am SO ***** !!!! ------------------ IP: Logged |

gaddict123 Member |
OHhh I see what you meant now XD My bad. But yeah that is also true haha. I completely agree! Honestly I didn't remember whether the Burrow burned or didn't in the series when I watched the movie, but since I just reread, I realized that that didn't happen and it hit me how stupid that was. And when I think back to the actual scene, it served pretty much no purpose whatsoever -_- rave: can't wait for winter holidays i'm absolutely tired of school and it's only my first semester! rant: i've got juries tomorrow which means i'll be singing in front of all the doctors and professors that head the music department of vocal performance for my first time. pray that i don't blow it :/ IP: Logged |

rave: for the next two saturdays i will be working at The Fridge. its a store right next to where i work full time (at the travel agency). The Fridge is an awesome store - the lady who owns and runs it is just a sweetheart and she is really the best cook ive ever met. she makes all nice, fresh, homemade lunches and take home meals and treats. and the giftware...oh the giftware. so much fun stuff. i got some "Ninja bread men" cookie cutters for my sister for xmas. gingerbread men in ninja poses. and you make cookies with them. awesome. ------------------ IP: Logged |

WitchBoy06 Member |
ooh, Ninja bread men...sounds kewl. and nice to know you're happy nowadays. ok ok, enough about you: back to me. ![]() rave(slash)rant: okies, ya'lls know about luis and my crushing on him. but i decided her was being difficult so i just moved on. i started talking to my neibhor (she lives three doors down) and we just clicked. she is really shy, i've lived next to her for like years and never talked to her cuz she's that shy. i see on her bike sometimes, which is nice cuz i ride my bike too. so yea, we've started talking a bundle and we kissed which was really special. SHE is special. so she invited me to a family party and i came and it was fun. but when the adults started dancing the girl (her name is maricruz) said we should go to the woods, and some of her cousins came with. (the woods are this fenced-off area of trees and its big and sometimes has dogs) maricruz was talking to her cousin, jasmine, and i was trying to see stars and one of her cousins came over and we started talking (his name was miles). he was funny, and i was instantly attracted to him because of his braces and big blue eyes (and i might have flirted a little bit, but just joking around ya know?). okay and on our way back to the party, miles surprised me with a kiss, and we were straggling behind everyone so i thought nobody saw but jasmine saw and she did not look happy--at all. i was uncomfortable and i told miles "don't do that" and i walked faster. i left the party fast but not before i saw jasmine talking in maricruz's ear. i got a call later from maricruz saying im not loyal and im stupid and confused and i should do something about myself, and i could only come back with "but we're not even dating so how can you be mad?" but she hung up and we haven't talked for like half a week. and miles emailed me his number, which i don't understand how he got my email address in the first place. im not going to call him because he knew about me and maricruz and he did what he did anyway. and now im back where i started, upset and moody. this relationship stuff stinks. and this is half-rave because im happy i could talk to somebody as cool and sincere as maricruz, even though it was short lived. oh yeah, rave: i scored higher than 94% of the eleventh graders on my PSAT. joy. ------------------ [This message has been edited by WitchBoy06 (edited 12-11-2010).] IP: Logged |

i hope i didn't offend you witchboy. i was joking around - i do understand that you have a dilemma on your hands there. i just dont know what to tell you. the universe has a funny way of leading us in the right direction. maybe this incident was the universe leading you away from something that was not meant to happen in your life. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Rave: My birthday was this week. I got a pretty necklace from Michael and a song and a home made card from Emily. Brittney sent me a very, very, touching birthday card with a generous gift in it. Rant: The day before my birthday (Thursday) I had these wicked awful side pains. Finally, after a few hours of rolling around in bed or taking trips to the bathroom to vomit, I decided to go to the hospital. Called an ambulance and went, by my self, and a few hours later found out that it was kidney stones. Rant: Spent my birtdhay, and every day since, sick and trying to pass the kidney stones. Rant: Michael had some special plans for my birthday which I opted not to go to because of my physical illness. I wish I hadn't though, becuase he's been down about it for a few days. I wish I had sucked it up for him. Rave: Michael and I had the biggest fight of our relationship on Thursday, which is why I went to the hospital alone. (Though, he didn't know I was going... I just kinda walked out and spent the day away, he didn't know why/where I was.) Anyway, the rave is that we're even closer than before. I mean, I really *love* that after-fight stage when you realize how stupid you are and how much you love each other for a few days. Of course, I think it helps that I went to the hospital. I think once he realized that I didn't come home because I couldn't... it kinda scared him. Rave: The wedding is in... *counts* 17 days. IP: Logged |

rave: you guys might start thinking im fickle because there is a new kid at our school...and i adore him. please dont think badly of me! i just came late to school (like always, i needs to get my hair and eyeliner right okay) and saw him checking in in the office. he has a mohawk and his voice cracks... *sigh* maybe the universe wants me to calm down. i dont know why its so important for me to have a bf or a gf anyhow. anyways, i haven't talked to him yet but we have four more days till winter break. rant: ap history is taking. over. my. life. all these darn projects and chapters and stidying and yada yada. im tired ya'lls. :P IP: Logged |

witchboy, i want you to stop crushing on everyone and start having a crush on yourself. you need to love yourself and see how cool you are. then you'll be able to properly be with another person and be happy about it. oh and by the way...this process takes a long time. i'm right there with ya! LLK - oh my gosh! do you remember a year ago when i had surgery to have 3 kidney stones removed? ya man...i know how you feel. except most people dont have to have surgery. most people dont have kidney stones the size of peach pits. so listen up now! drink lots of water and lots of cranberry juice now and for as long as you both shall live. make it a habit to always have cranberry juice in your home. and also, cut up some lemon and put the pieces in a ziploc bag in your freezer. when you have one of your many glasses of water that you will be drinking, take a slice of lemon and stick it in the glass. the acid helps break up/prevent clacium build up. i have lots of other info i can give you, but ill have to find the stuff from my surgery last year. you'll be fine and just remember...if you can pass a kidney stone, child birth will be a breeze. YA YA YA...i know all the moms are going to disagree with me, right? "oh have a child first and then tell me that!". you know what...pass three sharp, jagged peach pit sized kidney stones through a tube the width of three hairs and THEN tell me about pain. uh huh!! thats right...i went there. word. ------------------ [This message has been edited by helenbooktrip (edited 12-13-2010).] IP: Logged |

Yeah, well... I can't wait for it to be over, for sure.I'm sorry that you've gone through this or that anyone has. The pain was/is unreal. I know it'll only get worse and I'm just wishing to have it behind me. As for the childbirth/kidney stone debate. I dunno which is worse, but at least the childbirth is worth it. You get a child out of it. This... you just get your very own pokey rock thing. IP: Logged |

ya kidney stones are deifnitly not worth the pain. you are right, at least after cold birth you get a nice soft cute baby. i was paralysed (sp?) with pain for a good 5 hours last time a kidney stoned went from kidney to bladder. oh god, i will never forget that pain,i never even saw my THREE kidney stones because i was put under and when i woke up they were gone. anyway LLK i hope it passes soon. rave: tomorrow is pay day! rant: most of it will go to christmas shopping, but still...cannot wait to have some money in the bank. even if it just for a short while. ------------------ IP: Logged |

(hmmm, maybe some shoes too...) oh and on my bday, january third, im going to--*pause for suspense*--Disneyland California! i know right, ima walk around with that hat on and everybody has to say "happy birthday". yup, but i hope it doesnt rain. :I IP: Logged |

Rant: I had bone surgery 10 days ago and I am more or less unable to walk. I am rapidly growing bored and blue from sluggishness and an overactive mind that needs exercise to calm it down. Also, I fell off the stage during a choir performance two nights ago (crutches gave way) and possibly re-injured the bone that was just operated on. Rave: Spending Christmas Eve with the boyfriend. He keeps managing to make me forget I can't walk. [This message has been edited by newbreed (edited 12-23-2010).] IP: Logged |

newbreed, i'm really sorry to hear you're feeling yuckers. but its nice that your boyfriend is so supportive and makes you feels better. i am trying to think of things to help keep your brain busy... do you have any books you can read or re-read? you could make a blog about your experience before, during and after your surgery, with photos to accompany your thoughts! i would read it. rave: 4 day weekend start now! ya ya ya yaaa! rave: little sis arrives in less than 24 hours. woot woot! ------------------ IP: Logged |
