That hockey stick was great practice for your lightsaber skills No what she really needs is a fully operational battle station... It was great training, I wish they'd let me have a real lightsaber at the time though I'd have won every game . Imagine the look on her little face when she witnesses its firepower. 13 minutes ago, Ashara_Dayne said: @lord Sidious I wish I could say yes, but with my diagnosis my license was revoked.

I'm currently in the hospital for routine treatment (I'm fine and this treatment is the reason for it). I'm spamming my best friend with memes for the time that I'm here. I am going to spray them with that impregnation thingy. Hope that does the trick. Otherwise, I am going to lose my patience with at least semi-normal-looking shoes and go buy myself a pair of rubber boots. Wellies or however you call them. I hate having my shoes leak through. Another reason why rain sucks. Good luck with the treatment. Memes are also welcome here, in case your friend blocks you for spamming. 1 hour ago, RhaenysB said: Yeah, ones with proper sole. They are really comfortable and I would totally wear the right style to town just running errands or something. Yeah, I've lived here for almost a month now. As soon as there was a mattress, internet and a kettle. I should have my bed in another month. It will be glorious. I'm currently waiting for my desk to arrive. And... blowing my nose and drinking tea and overdosing vitamin c... Okay, I must be the only person who just doesn't like sport shoes. I do not like how they look (not that I care that much about how things look, but running shoes just don't look acceptable for me on myself) and how they feel. Get better! I packed a bit for the trip tomorrow. I am well-versed in it, so that is quick. Just need to decide what to do about the shoes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you? 19 hours ago, RhaenysB said: That sounds cool! What kinda jobs are you considering? Good luck with the application! And good luck with getting into shape as well! I moved house and I'm suffocating in getting furniture and running errands. (and I'm boring people here with my furniture shopping "adventures" ) Looking for a position as a trainee solicitor now... it's ridiculously competitive though. I can try my best! That sounds exhausting.. I mean the moving house thing. Furniture shopping is hardly boring.. when it's for your own place.

Thanks, I'm somewhat better than yesterday, but the day still feels wasted. It's such a lovely weather and I feel crappy and don't really do much all day.

That sounds cool, I hope you find something you enjoy doing. And don't worry if it takes a bit more time than you think, it will eventually be worth it. I can confirm that it's exhausting and shopping for furniture is not fun. I'm terribly indecisive and there's so much to consider, price, quality, aesthetic... and I have had ONE delivery out of 5 that arrived without problems. At least I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel now. Swimming is fun, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhaenysBee Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Ooooooooooh, the arm chair for my vanity arrived and it's so nice!!!! And I finally started lining the drawers too and they are very pretty. The lining material I used doesn't go with the knobs though so I'll have to reprint those. And I'll get the glass for the table top tomorrow and it'll be ready to be finished. If I get a cushion and a little throw for the chair and some pictures and/or lights to hang above the whole thing it'll be the first corner of the flat that's fully ready. This is sooooooooo cooooooool. And I already know what pictures I want, I'll just have get/make/print them. *overly excited* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhaenysBee Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Why is nobody writing anything? Do we really want me to talk about my furniture? I don't think so. A friend and I were going to a park for a nice autumn walk tomorrow but allegedly, it's going to be raining all day, so we'll probably end up in the movies or something. I walked 8.5kms today running errands. According to some random internet trivia, the healthy thing would be to walk 10kms every day. I cannot phantom how that's possible on a daily basis if someone works on a fixed schedule. What else can I tell you to keep the spam going...? A long and edifying story about the gloomy basement, the flower pots, the rat extermination and the hot pink lock to set the mood for Halloween? Or the short and unfortunate story of how I'm going to murder the noisy college students under my window in honor of the 100th episode of Walking Dead? OR. The short and very much convincing story of why you should all go and watch The 100 (or American Gods) right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felice Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 We have an election going on down here. Looks like Winston Peters is going to decide the government; he is unpredictable, so it might be weeks before we find out which way he'll jump. He's a populist who's base is mostly old people.

RhaenysBee Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 So I finally found out where @felice is from. I googled this Winston Peters person, wow he is OLD. Popes are resigning because they are old while politicians run for office in their seventies... weird. I went to see Home Again and it was a very very pleasant surprise. I thought it was going to be a godawful Hollywood comedy with forced and crappy jokes, but it was great in every aspect. The characters are so adorable, the actors did an amazing job and the atmosphere of the film is so warm and cozy. It's been a very long time since I watched anything that good in the cinema.

Ashara_Dayne Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I thought popes resigning was a very very rare thing? It's an office you hold until you die usually, right? Now I've left the Catholic church many many years ago, so maybe someone with current knowledge of the church can fill me in? @felice I guess fingers crossed? Is there any outcome of your election you'd be ok with? We're still waiting for the hung parliament to actually decide to unhang themselves. For now they broke the record for longest period of formation. Far as I know, they're not near a conclusion yet. Yet today we're looking at our neighbours to make their decision, although I think Merkel is quite safe. These are weird political times. PS: I'm not trying to start any discourse. This is as much as i'll say on the topic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
