So what's wrong with flying into Cannes? I think any travel is good

Yes, surely.

It won't be that funny. We have to hold out till October - the season will be realy harsh and many things depend on it, aslo we will have 10th anniversary of the channel in September - all the Moscow partners and majors will be here. :x

I'm back aswell, I've gotten quite a bit of my work in order so I've begun looking in on the boards again.

Paint is surprisingly complex.

We got some of our new furniture today! I'm happy to say we are now the proud owners of a sofa, a comfy chair, and a new carpet for the kitchen. Also several bookshelves and things for my parents' room that I haven't been bothered to look at yet. :roll:

This moving business isn't too bad, I've found.

I also went to my new school and was photographed for a student ID and got a locker. I made a friend too, so luckily the whole new school experience won't be so bad!

Other than that I have spent most of my time on msn conversing with my boyfriend. 4 thousand miles is too far away, but we're managing, though my mom has complained about me being on the computer for four hours straight. :oops:

Well, she can hardly ask you to move around the globe with your parents and then complain about the way you deal with it... three words: try emotional blackmail. :p Just jesting.

Good to hear though that you're relatively well.

I'm glad things are going good for you in the US Hex!

Last night was officially the best night of my life. Myself and a number of friends went to a party at another school and I am very proud of myself as I acheived a number of firsts. It was the first time I have actually danced well and not felt self-consious, first time I have been asked to dance by anyone (2 guys asked me) and the first time I have ever dirty danced with anyone! Oh, there was a big fight between a friend and a not-friend but as my Dad said, these dance things are usually equal parts dancing, fighting and snogging. Almost all of my friends got themselves boyfriends by the end of the night and I almost did. Apparently the guy I danced with really liked me but was too shy to ask me again. Doesn't matter, all the guys we hung out with are friends of our group so I can get his email and stuff. Out of all the nerds and normal people there, I managed to get the one with the eyeliner and black lipstick that looked like Brian Molko. Go me! 8)

The amount of injuries I have to deal with, when taking the population of the village into account, is verging on the ridiculous. under any other circumstances, I'd be as happy as a pig in the mud stitching people up but they are putting a huge strain on my swab and Fucidin Intertulle supplies and this is stressing me out.

Hexie, Pepster, Andalusian, glad to hear from you

Welcome back to all the returnees, who will hopefully stick around.

Anyways, one week from now it's back to the ol'e uniform for me. In fact, I need to wash and stich some of it, something I should have done a year ago but have been postponing ever since I came back from boot camp. Three weeks of pacing around with a gun, looking menacing and bored.

Yep, it's a soldier's life.

If you have an excess of cotton wool and tape, carry out a midnight raid and turn them all into Michelin Man. At least they'll bounce next time. Alternatively, use a "Three free stitch-ups per year then it's BYO supplies." approach. That'll teach 'em.

After eight weeks of travellig the globe with only a few days at home in between, my Hubbie is finally home..... for at least a fortnight anyway.

lol! i can just imagine a picturesque greek village populated by big cotton wool-wrapped people, walking stiffly about and bumping in to stuff.

i have no news, apart from an uber paunful hangover complete with random bruises, memory holes and the desire to take my skin off and scrub my insides clean.

free booze is never free. you pay with pain!

now have a long car journey ahead. family function... i'm always hungover at these things. :|


That would also be... CONDENSATION.

Know the feeling! The thought of new schools is always the worst. The thought of having to go in and introduce yourself and give your life story in 2 seconds then meet more people and forget everyones name. Or be me and decide not to bother figuring out everyones name because you will probably just more anyway, then end up staying! (It gets quite embarasing, i would't recoment it)

I am at my second week in a school full of people i need to remember the names of :? I've decided I am going to learn everyones names because if i don't I'll end up staying at this school for IB. Nothing much to say, finished and handed in all my IT coursework so I am a happy bunny

Nice to hear that you are doing fine, friends.

(Andalusian - see, life is beautiful! )

I've seen Mila Yovovich the last week and talked to her agent (one that brought her in Ukraine) 8) . She came to the country of her childhood (was born in Kiev and lived here for 5 years)in order to take part in the anniversary of "Atrek"(international children camp in Crimea) and organiza a charitable organization.

P.S. Been listening to "The Who" for all the day - it helps a lot at work. "Girl's eyes (butterflies)".

Depends on what you consider as the first years. When did Simon write 'T'was A Night Before Christmas'?
Ah, I hadn't really seen the new ones. I thought he stopped writing in 2000. The later ones weren't as good.

I'll read those when I have the time Thanks for the link!
