Chit chat...this & that!

[Melissa]

I just noticed this, but this thread is named after the TV show Phoebe guest-hosted in Season 6!

Anyways, I haven't been here in awhile, so I thought I'd just ramble a bit.

School isn't going so bad for me. This week I get out early on Wednesday for an orthodentist appointment, and then the following day I have a half day! Quite a few quizzes and tests this week as well, so I'm preparing for them as needed.

In other life news, not much else is going on. I'm awaiting spring and just daydreaming about summer... *sigh*

[Dark Witch.]

Haha, it is? I didn't do that on purpose hehe.

Well, life is a little hectic at the moment. I am moving within the next two weeks, have rehearsals almost every day for the next two weeks, and then I have to deal with school, I am not happy with school either. Now i am sick, and it doesnt fit well...oh well. Life goes on.

[Harrison]

Spring break! Yay! It's about time it got here.

I'm sorry about you being sick, Vamp. I was sick a few days ago. It seems to be the same disease circulating around in my area.

Anyways, I made the baseball team and the two choirs I auditioned/tried-out for, so that's exciting.

I'm also seeing the movie "Knowing" tomorrow and it looks very good! Hopefully everything will fall into place - good effects, acting, writing, and directing.

Searching for a new job, especially when you just lost your current job, sucks. Enough said.

Ah! Searching for a job when you haven't found one in over two years and a half, sucks even more lol Oh, and then having to keep searching even though you were 120% sure you had found one and yet no one is calling you to sign the damn contract...

[Nerf]

Oh my god, how are you surviving without a source of income?

I don't think I'll last more than a few months before my money well dries up.

[Terry]

Well, I live at my parents' place, and we have something called a "dole", or "unemployement benefit", which luckily in Belgium you don't have to have worked some bit in the first place to recieve. But that's still not much, so here's to hoping this month I'll have the contract if not an altogether different job.

Edit: Oh, I should have made you believe I casted spells to get anything I wanted Dang. lol

[Harrison]

Wait. I thought you moved to Paris?

Yep, I have. But I still had a right for three months of "Belgian dole", which is why I do need the job right about now 'cause those three months have come to an end lol

[Nerf]

Heh, yeah I was going to ask about Paris, too.

Well good luck on getting that contract!

[Quadquetra]

Good luck Terry, I'm sure you'll find something.

Well I actually went to Kings Dominion (theme park) and last night my body wouldn't cool down and i got sick and still don't feel the best, my mom thinks its sun poisoning. And i cant miss my next 2 days because exams but at least i only have to take 3 out of 8 so Wednesdays my last day yessss

BUt im also happy that my dad gets home on R&R (rest and relaxation) from Iraq the 20th of this month for 2 weeks i havent seen him since january.

[Nerf]

I had no idea that your father was in the military. And stationed in Iraq, huh? Man, that sucks. They send them there for so long. I'm glad you get to see him soon. And I hope you feel better, at least enough to concentrate on your exams. Why do you only have to take three out of eight?

By the way, anyone else here have family members, or friends, in the military? My best friend left for Navy boot camp in February. He got done with that, but now he is still down at the Great Lakes naval base taking training classes. I miss him, but he has his phone back now so I get to talk to him. And I'm going to go down to see him next month. We're gonna go see the new Harry Potter movie together. So excited. ;D

[Quiet Desperation]

That does sound exciting, Nerf. Do you think you're friend is going to be the same as when he left?

I have big exams in the beginning of July. It's pretty important here. I made a schedule consisting eight hours of study (except Sunday, that going to be four hours of study.) Man, I can't wait for this to end. It's endless with my parents telling to study all the time. Hopefully, I'll do well. That is if I study well.

[Nerf]

He will be the same when I'm around. He told me before that he might start calling me sir. I told him that if he did, I'd punch him.

And ew, that's a lot of studying. I'm never good at that. Good luck!

Okay, I am off to the library, my former work place. Hope it's not weird.

[Quadquetra]

Yea thanks for the interest Nerf. But yeah its tough especially since this is his 3rd time in war but you know i get through it for my brother and baby sister. But i got a tape thing to day and its a recording of him reading the first chapter of a book to me and i read the rest he sent one to my bro and sister so it was very....emotional lol i guess but im gonna be strong and keep going.

[Lexi]

By the way, anyone else here have family members, or friends, in the military?

Lots of my friends are in the military. Mostly in the British Army but I also have friends in the Royal Navy and Air Force and a few friends in the Canadian Army. At the moment, one of my closest mates was just evacuated from Afghanistan for medical reasons, which had lots of us panicked until we found out that it was due to an insect bite that he got out there, which became really infected. Thank God it was nothing serious!

I'm in the Territorial Army at the moment, its the British version of the Reservse. I'm joining the Regular Army in September and really can't wait now. I'm going to Sandhurst (which is where most of my friends have gone) and then 44 weeks later I'll have a commission and be leading troops.

It is so tough when people you love are out there and you don't know what's going on.

[Mr Stranger]

Uhh hi everyone. I'm not even going to begin to try to jump into this conversation. Haha. I'll talk about other things though. Maybe it's just because I'm in a lazy mood and don't feel like putting any effort. Go figure.

I'm watching the first episode of Charmed tonight. Woohoo. Just 180 something more to go.

Ask my any questions you have about me. It doesn't mean I'll answer 'em though, but go ahead. I'm bored. Entertain me

[Dark Witch.]

Hello, Mr. Stranger (bizarre name, why did you choose it?)

Well, I am Dark Witch. And this is a great place to get started in my opinion to get to know people. Did you just get into Charmed? If so, that's great! It is a fun series, and though there are some things that many people here don't like about the series, we love it no matter what, otherwise we wouldn't be here to discuss it haha. I won't ask any personal questions, so no worries. If you need to chat about anything, this is the place.

So, to the conversation before. I have no idea what it would be like to have a friedn in Iraq, or family member. I am blessed in the fact it hasn't gotten to me personally, for I don't know what I would do with that much worry. Finals are OVER! One last performance on Friday, and then the school year is over! But sadly, I have to help run auditions for Opera at my school the following Monday and Tuesday, but eh, no big. BIG NEWS! At the end of this month, I plan on auditioning for American Idol! I am nervous beyond all reason, but we'll see how it goes!

[Melissa]

8 hours of study? A day? Wow... It's amazing how other countries have such a high standard of learning compared to the US. For example, I studied for 2 hours last night for my history exam, and then when I saw the exam this morning, I had to keep myself from laughing.

Speaking of, a fight broke out in the middle of the exam. I don't really understand it. There are 1,000 desks set up in my school gym. You come in, find your teacher and the row your mod is assigned and then you sit. You get your exam and take it. How could a fight break out in a room of 1,000 silent people? Sometimes I hate my school...

Dark Witch, American Idol will be so cool! I wish you the best of luck! And make sure you tell us if you make it on TV!

[Dark Witch.]

A fight? That is weird. How can someone get into a fight when everyone is supposed to be focused on a test? That is really weird...maybe a demon did it! lol.

I will let you all know if I make it. Cause it will effect my writing time haha, as well as the job I am looking for. lol.

SUMMER VACATION IS FINALLY HERE! I am soo happy. When do all of you guys have a "vacation"?
