I'm Bored... And I Want Everyone To Know It!

[StarGazr]

Isn't that a great title? I just thought that we don't have a pointless thread... well I guess the Trout thread is in a way... but this is something different.
I can't say I'm bored right now though!! I'm talking to Xaz and he's keeping me entertained! He'll probably keep me up half the night and then I'll be late to class... but I don't mind! :kiss:
So... go at it.. vent, talk, make faces.. be bored!!!

[Xazinon]

Sure, blame me, just cos I'm entertaining! Just remember to set your alarm, dear. ;)

Aww, a kiss! Aint that sweet? :kiss: :D

I'm not overly bored... I have an assignment I have to write this week that I should start doing, but I'll probably leave it to the last minute, hehe! And in case you are all wondering, my finger is healing nicely.. hopefully it will be all fixed soon! :)

Does that count as a rant? Er, hmm, I'll really have to come up with something better next time I rant. Oh well! :LOL:

[Fleur]

I am so bored. Just had a grueling maths exam and now everyone is doing history cept me... pah maybe I should make brownies, seems like a good waste of time.

I don't have another exam until tuesday next week now! Oh the possibilities!

I might read GoF again in time for OotP.. yeah babee... Sometimes I forget all the little subplots in it.. like the blast ended screwkts or whatever they were called! lol!

[Fleurdelacour]

Today was the worst day of exams... Maths and history like Fleur said... *sigh* Methinks, I failed both of them... The Cold War is awfully boring.... And this french teacher Mr Armstrong kept on standing behind me in History...
:rolleyes:

I'm bored, no one is on msn!! Come back! Talk to me! Three exams left!!! I need humans to talk to, instead of yelling at the television!

[lithorose]

What makes you think those are humans talking to you on MSN? *Twilight Zone music plays in the background* Maybe they aer machines. Maybe we're all machines. Maybe there is no reality!

lith flips out

Sorry, I just got out of school!

And now, I get the the reason I'm posting: History is not boring. Only History teachers are.

I shall leave you to ponder these words of wisdom.

I also need some strawberry icecream.

[ChianaWeasley]

NOMORESCHOOL!NOMORESCHOOL!SLEEPINGIN!HARRYPOTTERIN TENDAYS!!!!!!

what else could be better my friends??:)

[DinEdhelwen]

Yay! *Din sings* No school! No school! La la la la laaa la!! :D

No more school for ten weeks!! Whoohoo! Yesterday was our last day, and to celebrate, we played in a pond...

Sorry to all those who are still stuck there. :( If it makes you feel any better, I have ACTs on Saturday.
Then we get to go to the beach! :cool:

Din gets too excited and runs out of the house to frollic in the yard

[ChianaWeasley]

Well...when me and my friend are bored online, we duel. By dueling i mean i pull out a rubber haddock, and he pulls out a sword fish. Then I pull out a tin parrot, and he pulls out a stuffed dog(well that was automatically disqualified). It goes on and on until I win, but i dont think he realizes I'm taking it from the book
:)

Hey no more school!

And to think of it, I look forward to the new HP books more than Christmas or any other holiday. Which I think is rather unique, I look forward to literature more then presents and such.
:)

[Fleurdelacour]

*sings* two more exams two more exams!!

I just buried my maths revision guide in the garden :D

And still... No one on msn, and I'm convinced they're humans! Only humans would have inane conversations about licking Brian Moloko, Seaseme Street, and going "eeeeeek" at odd moments because we're excited about OotP :D

History is not boring. Only History teachers are.

Might be, my history teacher always ignored me in class... She only paid her attention on [i]Kathleen[i]... Kathleen this, and Kathleen that. Oh Kathleen got 98% on her coursework, and a beautiful A*...

Then FINALLY when I get noticed by my art teacher, and selected to go to summer school in the Chelsea College of Art... I'M ON HOLIDAY!!! :mad:

Ooh Friday the thirteenth coming up, last exams on that day too:p


And to think of it, I look forward to the new HP books more than Christmas or any other holiday. Which I think is rather unique, I look forward to literature more then presents and such.

Ooh me too :) Birthdays and Christmas lost their charm after I became a teenager, and after I discovered my parents and the media had lied for me for ten years...

Christmas was much better when Santa excisted... :(

I wonder if wizards believe in Santa.... *ponders...*

[ChianaWeasley]

Nah, I doubt they believe in Santa, especially since every Christmas they get gifts and they know who their from none of the 'From: Santa' stuff

[lithorose]

So, do you think Santa's a house-elf?

You believed in Santa till you were 10?!:eek: I found out for sure he didn't exist at 5, but I'd been suspicious for a long time before that. Maybe it was because we didn't have a chimney.:D

Don't you just hate that word..exam? The word itself is just painful. We hates it, we hatesss it forever!

[Xazinon]

:LOL: You poor misguided people... what do you mean Santa doesn't exist? That's the silliest thing I've ever heard! Though it does make me wonder about the aerodynamics of reindeer.. and how DOES he deliver presents to all those houses in such a short space of time.. and we don't have a chimney either...

:eek: Maybe it is true! Maybe he isn't real! :(

Xaz runs off sobbing into a corner.

You.. you.. meanies! ;)

[Colli]

Santa's as real as those kangaroos that deliver your mail, Xaz!!!! :D

[Fleurdelacour]

Aww poor Xaz, I'vve just ruined his life! Well, you can keep on pretending he exists... Santa still 'visits' our house, my baby brother just turned two on Saturday... Well Kaelin, is actually scared senseless of Santa. Fat bearded men creep him out for some reason! :lol:

Yup until I was ten... Sad isn't it!? I was started to doubt it (we to didnt have a chimmley (my parents left the key under the doormat for him to come in, was their excuse), and all the toys said, 'Made In China', I swear it was Lapland ;)

Dont get me started on the tooth-fairy!! :p

[Fleur]

I believed in the Tooth Fairy for longer than is healthy... She used to write me notes on the back of pastage stamps! In fact, I think I may actually still believe...

Believing in Father Christmas must be harder in the US... I never really figured it out, but from the media it seems like American kids are actually supposed to believe all their presents come from him? Even the big ones from the parents? How does that work?

I love stockings!! They are my number 3 fave thing in the world. I'm so glad I have a kid brother who belives (or pretends to) so I can still get one.

[lithorose]

It varies a lot by family. Some parents let their kids believe in him till they find out on their own, others will still give them presents from 'Santa' but will tell them he doesn't exist, and others (a small amount) won't even allow their kids anything to do with him. Some don't celebrate that aspect of Christmas, others don't believe it's healthy for the kids to believe in characters that don't exist.

What always teed me off more than the way the media presents Santa is the way the media presents Christmas. It NEVER snows on Christmas; people are always happy or they reconcile with their family, when that is totally not the case. 'A Christmas Story' is far more accurate to how things go.

[StarGazr]

There's a thunderstorm howling around outside... the rain is just making everything all muddy and gross... this can mean only one thing... we're gonna have 125 children stuck inside tomorrow... :rolleyes:... There is no justice...
I am so bored... I'm sitting in bed watching CMT's 100 Greatest Songs in Country Music... I totally disagree with the #1 pick which was Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man." I think it should have been something by Hank Williams or Patsy Cline (my personal favorite by the way)... but that's just me.
I'm gonna sign off now... it's really getting bad outside and I don't wanna ruin my computer because I lost power and it shut down :jawdrop: eep... bye!

[ChianaWeasley]

LOL! A Christmas Story, that was a great movie!

Oh my God, I shot my eye out!!!

When I found out santa wasn't real I was very upset, i was little and this girl my sister was friends with got angry at Din for some reason. So she took it out on me and told me there was no santa, I cried and cried. And I remember now, I was hysterical saying "So it was all a lie?!"

Kinda funny now that I think of it.

Actually Im glad I knew early on, because I'd ask my parents for all these things we couldn't afford, and after I knew I always watched what I asked for. Which I think made my parents feel alot better. Now I ask them for books mostly :D

[Fleurdelacour]

I was hysterical saying "So it was all a lie?!"

lol! aww thats so sweet!

I could never figure out why all the snobby, bratty rich kids got more pressies then me...

I HATE bratty, snobby, rich kids... They get a headstart in life straight away because they can afford a decent education... afford decent health care... afford holidays off to warm countries...

Guess what?

IVE FINISHED MY GCSES!!! WHOOHOO!!

No more uniform! No more patronising eegits of teachers! No more teachers with no qualifications! No more maths! No more Religious edication!

I'M A FREE GIRL!!!

:D :D :D :D

[ChianaWeasley]

Chiana stand up and claps for fleur

Congrats!
Feels good when school ends doesn't it?

No more weekly math tests, no more anotated bibliographies, no more twenty minute lunch sessions, no more pledge first thing, AND no more gym for the rest of my life!!!

Dances around the living room

:D

Touché, Colli! :LOL:

Don't worry, FleurD, I'll get over it: better I find out now than when I'm all grown up, right? ;)

[ChianaWeasley]

And so I am off to the eastern shores!!! To battle pirates, vagrants, and cut throats (which are mostly the same people just different names) I will be gone for a week, so I'll see you all on the 20th, hopefully or perchance the 21st! :)

Off I go to become a cabin girl on the vessel blessed the Kanigget, to seek adventure, squals at sea, and treasures beyond your wildest dreams

:arrr:

When I went to Massachusetts, I was dying to go to the Pirate Museum, but it was closed! I was most upset! :(

Have a great time! :D

[Fleurdelacour]

I need you Chiana! Dont leave me with the H/Hr shippers!! ;)

Tirra! Have a great time! :)


Feels good when school ends doesn't it?


Oh it definatly does! However, I keep on thinking "I need to revise. I must get off the laptop...."

This summer, I shall start yoga, (bending over in the garden! Interesting...) might get a job... Need AUS$5,000 to go to Australia... And I'll learn html!

Lets see in September if I've dont any of it!

[alqua]

Oh, I'm so excited. I'll be going to London on Thrusday 19th and will be there on the Big day. I wonder if I can find myself a copy of You-know-what or if I'll have to wait 'til I get home on Monday. :D

[StarGazr]

I'm ready to rip my hair out... It took me an hour to get online, and now that I'm on... I can't remember my password to access the school's library site!!! Ack!:mad: This isn't happening!!!
Hehe... I beat FreeCell nine times in a row while I was waiting to get online.... go me!:D

[Fleurdelacour]

Sorry, alqua, there aren't any bookshops here ;) Why dont you take a passiving visit to Kings Cross whilst you're in London, or stroll along Charing Cross road looking for the Leaky Cauldron!

OH!

*squeals*

I jst read JKR is being interviews by none other then JEREMY PAXTON! :D It said in the newspaper that she reads a bit of OotP, and talks honestly about fame, wealth and the pressures of writting.

It's on BBC2 at 7.30pm, on Thursday 19th! :D

OK, I'm geneuinely bored....

[alqua]

Sorry, alqua, there aren't any bookshops here

Oh, bummer. :D

I think I will go and check out King's Cross. It's probably on my way from the airport to the hotel anyway. So if you read about a foreigner banging her head in a barrier somewhere between the platforms 9 and 10, that'll be me. ;)

Wow, going to Australia eh? Good choice! ;) What's the occasion? Do you want to just see the place on a holiday, or some other reason?
Allow me to say that Melbourne is of course far better than Sydney... Melbourne was apparently recently voted the world's most liveable city, equal with Vancouver. LOL, I think that's right, but I don't really care, it sounds good anyhow! :)

[Amberion]

But Adelaide is better than both of them

Just ignore Xaz - he's biased:D

You feel the same way I felt about a certain math book I had. It was evil I tell you, born to destroy me!!!!. It was too difficult and even made me cry sometimes. It was awful and I didn't even learn anything from it. I vandilized it writing ' we hates it' and 'evil' and 'errr' marks. But sense school is over I'm going to rip it up and cast into the fire. It was a burden but now its gone.

I feel better....... Now about a certain test I had..

As you can tell I
HATE MATH

[Fleurdelacour]

Well, I plan to go everywhere! lol, so I'll get to see the best of your worlds ;) I'm going with my best friend in two years, by then we'll have money!

I have a job! Decorating the house... Hey, it money!

alqua, go to the London Dungeons! I went to day for a birthday, and it was great! :D But £11.25 for adults... bloody rip off... But still good nevertheless! :D

[Colli]

:) Math is fun. I got a 489 out of 492 on my Calculus final... if it had been a 490 my grade would've rounded up to a 100.

I am SO bored... someone save me.

[Fleurdelacour]

Maths is evil! Oh well! Never have to do it again! :D

You want to be entertained mother? Well click here! ;) (http://whole-new-light.com/mtf/index3.html)

[alqua]

mmm...London Dungeons. I was actually already planning to go there. :D

But £11.25? Geez....

[Fleurdelacour]

ooh good :) You may be forced to sing Hallelujia though! :p But yeah... £11.25.. :rolleyes: you can pretend to be a child for £8...

[Rivenlas]

MATH IS EVIL. I am also terrible at it. ;-)

[Colli]

LOL, daughter, hilarious. I'm not an active Hr/R shipper, but I know it's coming. :D

Math is fun!!

Ooh, that's what I could do. I'll see if I can beat my best score on Minesweeper.

[Xazinon]

Adelaide is better than both eh Amb? ;)

Well, I do hear that it is quite nice in Adelaide, despite the Victorian predeliction for bagging it out mercilessly. Whatever people think, we have better water, what little there is of it, hehe! :)

All around Australia eh FleurD? Sounds like fun! Feel free to stop by Melbourne and say hello on your crazy travels! :D

[lithorose]

Well, I do hear that it is quite nice in Adelaide, despite the Victorian predeliction for bagging it out mercilessly. :confused: Can you explain to an ignorant American?

Think math's awful? Try reading a 1400 page AutoCAD manual.:p

[Amberion]

Well - I am from ADELAIDE. caoital of the state of South Australia

Xaz is fron Melbourne, capital of the state of Victoria.

There has been a long history of sporting and other rivalries between the two cities

Melbournians like to think they are better than us and we Adelaideans love rubbing there noses in it when we beat them.

Its usually a good natured rivalry though:cool:

[Fleurdelacour]

Oh of course I will Xaz! I just need $4,980 more, and I'm there! (earned £20 today painting the bathroom, only the pipe in our brandnew sink popped, all the water came crashing through the floorboards into the hall, ruined my mum's newly decorated hall and vintage chandiler... Then the water in the chandiler started to boil because of the electricity running through it... fun day...)

Good Natured Rivalry sounds fun, lol, there's a sort of rivalry between the area I live in, and the area half my garden is in (v posh area, my area full of tv actors, lol)

What on earth is an AutoCAD manuel?! Sounds evil...

R/H! Yup! It's coming! :D If it doesn't....

4 days.... 4 days....

[glaelia]

i'm bored ... and i don't want to be bored... am going to south africa the day after tomorrow...

[lithorose]

CAD=Computer Aided Drafting. It's what most architects, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, etc. use for designing everything. It's a pain in the !!! program that leaves you to do half of its math for it. But, for some reason, it's what everyone is still using.:rolleyes:

Good luck Glae! South Africa sounds like fun!:D

Actually, my firm uses a couple of different CAD/D (the extra D is for Design as only early concept sketches are still done the old-fashioned way) programs, the better to be compatible with various clients ...and the one that does some of the math for the user, we're not so sure we trust that far so we always recheck the calcs anyway :rolleyes: but that's civil engineering for you, one mistake can (and has) produce unsafe structures and eventually nasty incidents that kill people, so better to recheck even if it makes for often tedious work. (I may attempt to get my professional registration this year - which would legally allow me to certify the safety of a proposed design; a responsibility I'm obviously nervous about, though it would obviously also be a huge step forward career-wise.)

[lithorose]

True. Accuracy is VERY important. I'm having an extra hard time with it because I started another type of 3-D modelling program first, which was much easier, and so trying to adjust is rather painful.:rolleyes:

And just thinking about possibly becoming an actual architect is a scary prospect!:eek:

[Fleurdelacour]

My mum would love to get her hands on that programme, she was desperate to be an architech, however, Ireland in 1970s didn't allow girls to do mechanical drawing :rolleyes: and didnt allow men to do home studies :rolleyes:

[ChianaWeasley]

I must agree when I say math is absolutely wicked. Not thats its pointless mind you, just that I prefer to work my way around math class...say reading during studies for example:o

But we do need math as a base to economy and such.

But I really dont like math at all, this semester I barely passed by the 'skin of my teeth' thank goodness for calculators ;)

THIS JUST IN!!!!
Someone stole over 200,000 dollars worth of OoTP books, a whole truck load! You've all probably already heard about it, but I simply broke out into laughter when I saw the paper this morning. Someones a bit anxious, and frankly i cant balme them :D Not that I would steal a whole truck load of books or anything.....:rolleyes:

Yes, well, that's fine, on the rare occasions that you beat us, hehehehehe! ;)

*sigh* State of Origin AFL was the best one... do you reckon they should bring it back, Amb? There's been a lot of discussion over here this week as to whether they should or not. I think it was great, and they should! Terry Wallace reckons we've let E.J down by getting rid of it, maybe he's right.. bring back State of Origin so we can beat those Croweaters again, LOL! :) :D

[Amberion]

Of course we hould - and we do beat you over here, its just harder in Melbourne

And I would just point out that at the half way point of the season - every single team in the bottom half of the table are from Melbourne ;)

[jesuisalleeaujardin]

yes! i am here as well as in middle-earth. i've apparated, coz i think i've missed the train. i'm not even halfway in the book. my sister has hogged it all weekend. but it took her only 36 hours to finish it! she was savoring and crying over it so. i have so many theories already. but when i grow up, i want to teach defense against the dark arts at hogwarts... after i travel the world as an auror. :D

:wave:s at Jardin: "Hi! Welcome to the MI!"

Okay, so I'm not really bored now but I am a little HPed out. Spent nearly every waking hour between noon Saturday and now with it, and a lot of my sleeping hours too.

Where is everyone? I assume they're avoiding us till they finish... can't say I blame them, spoilers are nearly bound to leak out....:mad:

[jesuisalleeaujardin]

i actually didn't want to register until i got the book done, but i can't resist it!!! hahaha... last night at about 3 a.m. my mind was swimming in all sorts of connections, machinations, imaginings, possibilities... i was thinking of making notes and putting stickies to mark the page like i do my textbooks... short of writing in the book... no no no write in book, bad bad... but ya, i'm sure they're avoiding this place hahaha. ...

I for one am not avoiding here entirely, I'm just a lil busy this week..

I'm avoiding literary discussion, but not really the rest: I just have exams at the moment and haven't had much chance to post. One exam to go and then I get three weeks off though, so you'll never get rid of me then! Muhahahaha! ;) :D

[lithorose]

Exams? What kind of an excuse is that?:confused: So like, do you think your education is more important than talking to people on a Harry Potter forum or something? Sounds like you need to get your priorities straight, mister!;)



(good luck on the last one!)

[Colli]

Oooh, look what I got in the mail today!! Postmarked May 15th.. but that's what you get when something is mailed from Kuwait. ;)

http://www.geocities.com/beccacollier/IraqMoney.txt

Through a project our school does every year (I was co-captain this year :)), we send out thousands of Christmas cards (and letters) to Military personnel... this year we sent 18.957 (first in the nation! Woo!). Anyway, I continued corresponding with one guy who had been in Kuwait for over a year, keeping an eye on the no-fly zone. :) And as a graduation present he sent me that Iraqi money. Tres cool.

[ChianaWeasley]

That is really nifty Colli!

And his face wont be on there much longer will it?

;)

[Colli]

:) Nifty indeed.

And nope, it won't be there much longer. They're changing currency soon... of course. :D

I have a piece of history!

[ChianaWeasley]

Very nifty indeed.

And since this IS the bored and I want everyone to know thread I must throw this out into the great void. I've been searching for an Auryn ring or a pendant. I have had no such luck, so when I sit with nothing to do on a day from work I look. Have had no luck, if anyone has any ideas, send me a kangaroo;)

[Fleurdelacour]

Chiana, please dont buy jewellery online, my very expensive Evenstar which I got for my 16th, is a mess, all the crystals are messed up, they fall off, and the pendant falls off the chain... The backing foil is bronze giving it a yellow glow... So be careful :(

What are they changing the currency to? Dollars? :rolleyes: Nevermind me, I was ambushed by tourists today... Not in a very international mood...

I'm bored... Offically... And burnt, again... I have to take refuge in parks and cinemas when my brother and sister aren't in school... the weather peoples have got the weather wrong all week... They said it's going to pour down and be quite cool! IT HASN'T!! My lower back is burnt from where my teeshirt rode up my back, and I was leaning on my front reading OotP...

Stupid Weather peoples!!! :mad:

[Colli]

FleurD, where did you get your Evenstar replica from? I've been very tempted lately to buy the Noble Collection's Ring of Barahir with some of the money I got for graduation, but not if it's going to fall apart!!! :eek:

[Moxie]

Don't buy sunglasses online either - spouse's Morpheus shades broke practically as he took them out of the box :( and he's still in the process of trying to get a refund or replacement :mad:

poor spouse, he'd been wanting a pair of Morpheus shades since seeing the first Matrix film...

OTOH, less breakable things like T-shirts are fine to get online. spouse's grandma got us some really obscure shirts (well, OK, spouse's mom helped her with the online ordering part) that I've never seen offered elsewhere, and they tend to get almost as much attention at gaming cons as my big black cloak.

My lower back is burnt from where my teeshirt rode up my back, and I was leaning on my front reading OotP...

Been there, done that, except I was doing Computer Science homework on the quad (the program has to be input eventually, but figuring out exactly how to write a program can be done anywhere) on a hot sunny day in a swimsuit and shorts - I was pretty well roasted by the time I got my program the way I wanted :eek: ow, ow, ow....

It's pretty hot and sunny here today, too. I think I'll go to the beach - after putting on lots and lots of the highest SPF sunscreen I can find, thank you.

[Fleurdelacour]

I think I got my Evenstar at the Mystic Caravan, but they all come from the same manufacturer in South Africa. We rang the site up when after a month my Evenstar hadn't been delievered. It came in March, weeks after my birthday... :rolleyes:

Oh clothes are fine :) I've bought tonnes of outfits from Topshop, they're gods :notworthy :p

I hope you get your refund Moxie.

[ChianaWeasley]

Well, I cannot find Auryn in shops no matter how hard I look.
Where else would I get one?

I deal with tourists as well Fleur, in amish country, you wouldn't believe some of them.

:hug: Fleur

tomorrow will be better
:)

Thats dreadful moxie, I'd send an agent if they didnt give me a refund ;)

Geez, I've taken a while to respond to this barb, haven't I? ;)

You're right of course Amb, the bottom half of the ladder does comprise Victorian teams, but the couple that sneak into the eight will have the benefit of home finals: after all, they're gonna hold them all here, aren't they? ;) :D

You just wait and see Amb, Essendon are just about to come good ( I wish! They could at least be consistent, sheesh!)

[ChianaWeasley]

Yay!
Go Essendon!
...or whatever.... sport your discussing!!!
Woo-hoo!

:beer:
:p

[Xazinon]

:LOL: Atta girl, Chiana! Go Essendon! Carn the Bombers is also acceptable. :D

We're playing Amberion's team in a couple of weeks, so that should be interesting! Boo Adelaide! ;)

[Amberion]

You bombers dont scare us

We have premierships that were won over there

Its just them silly Power supporters who are scared of playing finals in melbourne;)

Carn the Crows

[Xazinon]

Hehe!

Hey Amb, do you Adelaide supporters really hate Port Power as much as everyone says you do? ;)

You're certainly better than them in finals.. it's great fun every year to see them go so very well in the regular season and then choke spectacularly when it gets to finals time. :D :LOL:

Carn the Bombers! :)

[StarGazr]

*jumping up and down* Ack!! I am so freakin bored... I think I'm going to go outside and announce it to the neighborhood!! This is insane!! I've watched four movies... listened to a dozen radio stations... and God help me I've eaten too much sugar and I can't stop shaking.... AHHHHHH... bored bored bored... I think I'm going to go drink some water to balance out the sugar.. I've heard that works... or maybe it's drink milk.. ew

[ChianaWeasley]

Your as bored as I am Star. None of my chums have been on and theres nothing to do about the house. Enough to drive a girl with no license nutters, I can tell you. I listen to music, download music, play pool online. Post, and then sit and become even more bored. Gah!!!

I'm as bored as you two, as well....

Went to a concert yesterday... It was an outdoor one, in Hyde Park, 100,000 people... Got there at 6am... I STOOD FOR FOURTEEN HOURS!!!

Bloody wrecked... I feel asleep watching Six Feet Under yesterday night when I got back...

Oh well, Beyonce, Daniel Beddingfield and David Gray rocked me rocks! And I got on telly again (teeny me according to me mum)

Now concert aftermath leaves you bored...

Not even aloud online during the day...

I'm refusing to read OotP until I get to a beach next week...

Lalalala.... Still in me Pyjamas! bored out me bloody mind...

can anyone think of anything for a 16 year old with no money?...

[ChianaWeasley]

I have an idea!!

Post on the informer!

:rolleyes: ;) :D

well....thats what I've been doing

************

bought myself a 'How To Draw Manga' book today, hopefully I'll get some time consumption out of that. And i got to go to the library today, which was nice.

Got me a copy of Willow by Drew Wayland, which is out of print. Got it from another library, yep, thats how much time i have on my hands when im not working.

Problem is, all my friends are away, and it takes people what feels like ages to post on the informer.

The potions thread is alot of fun, should have more of those we should. :)

***********
Well heres to being bored
:beer:

cheers mates!

[Fleurdelacour]

I bought myself a How To Draw Faces book! How weird!

We can always debate why Ron has a cockney accent when he lives in Devon (he says mate and bloody all the time! and he says bang out of order! People in Devon dont say that!)

I could get a burnt nose... Wait already did that... Look like bloody Rudolph! :rolleyes:

Or we can always decide whether Ron and Hermione should be together ;) Harry can't be the only one who gets a snog!!

HEAR HEAR!!!

Bordem! What a wonderful feeling! :beer:

[ChianaWeasley]

I thought everyone in England said mate and bloody...hmm...well i must say it fits his character

and yes, Hermione and Ron should and must be together!
:D
:beer:

DANIEL was THERE???????????

[Fleurdelacour]

Daniel Beddingfield lives near me, my little sister has met him tonnes of times, and I saw him across the road when I was waiting for the bus, and he is AMAZING live!! :D

I never knew he actually got around to breaking America! (did he then? or are you in the minority?)

Yes, Ron and Hermione are just destined for each other!! :D

I have a funny feeling I wont be bored this summer... I had a Welcome Day at college today... and I've been given a book list of 86 books to read... I've only read two... And that's Harry Potter and To Kill A Mockingbird....

[Severus Snape]

I've met Andrie The Giant (before he passed away), Garth Brooks-my high school auditorium before he became famous, Alan Thick (Stood next to him for 30 minutes), sat with Sam Walton owner of Wal-Mart at all my bro's base ball games (before he passed away), Clint Black, Aron Tippen, Lori Morgan, and the list goes on!

I've only one thing to say... autographs aren't all that important in the grand scheme of things.

[ChianaWeasley]

YOU actually make Andre the Giant, infamous for his role in Princess Bride as Fezzik the giant who liked to rhyme?! Im very jealous I would have enjoyed meeting him, consider yourself lucky mate.

Fleur harry potter is on the required reading list? How interesting...:D

[Severus Snape]

I do feel lucky! I remember that he was having a terrible time with his back and he wasn't permited to stand for long periods of time so.. they had him sit in a comfy padded chair while he gave out autographs. He didn't look cheerful that day but he was fun to talk to.

Wow, Andre the Giant: that's totally cool! Can you tell I'm a wrestling fan, hehehe? ;)
The WWE did a show here in Melbourne last year, and they had an exhibit where you can measure your hand against Big Show and Andre the Giant: those guys are big fellas! I think Big Show's hand was actually bigger, but Andre's was very impressive! Some wrestlers were there.. Lance Storm, Christian, Hurricane, Jamie Noble, Randy Orton, Nidia: it was pretty neat!
Christian was my fave, with the Hurricane a close second: I have a photo with the Hurricane, as I'm sure I've probably mentioned before. :D

Er, I'll shutup now... ;)

[Colli]

Daniel Beddingfield lives near you? :eek:

Man, he has awesome range. Some guys tried to see "If you're not the one" at the talent show at the camp I was at... that was amusing. :D


But I'm in awe. I'm moving in with my daughter!

[Fleurdelacour]

lol, Nicole Kidman also lives near by and James Nesbit (dont know if you know who he is) lives down my road, and my mum has met him in the shops millions of times :D

He did a Raggae version of Gotta Get Thru This, and it was just, wow. Although, some little tarts kept on standing on my toes to try and see him, so I got squished and missed him singing his new single...

If You're Not The One is one of my songs for Remus, god I'm sad...

Andre The Giant? A Wrestling bloke... right... Never heard of him, sounds like a large animal you'd see at a circus!

[Severus Snape]

My last name is Nesbit! How enteresting! The Nesbit Clan can be traced all the way back to Adam De Nesbyt and Robert De Bruce!

Neat - spouse's family doesn't descend directly from Robert, but is officially part of Clan Bruce (we just found that out last year at a Highland Games; looked through some tartan vendors' books of family names and tartans.)

Well... think before you speak! How can you say something like that about Andre. Did you know that he was so grief stricken about his father's death that he died at his father's funeral.

My own father was murdered a year ago this month and i'm so grieved about his death... I sometimes feel like Harry when he looked into the mirror and kept calling for Sirius. When I dream about my father... I beg him to come home.

[Ollie Loop]

:beer: :beer: here's to being bored
can i join guys in this..............um........ boring thread?! i'm bored almost all the time. even when my friends are over.

[Colli]

Andre the Giant was a sweetheart. :D He played Fezzik in the Princess Bride... but didn't even have enough strength to do any of his own stunts. :(

((((((Andre the Giant))))))

Well yeah? Sir Ian McKellen answered one of my questions on his E-post last year! :p That would be my only brush with fame..

Although some people at my church ran into Naomi Judd Sunday and ended up eating lunch with her... weird.

[Ollie Loop]

what?:confused:

[ChianaWeasley]

:eek:
Who doesnt like Andre the giant?!

Ge was the sweetest none violent man I've ever known abnout, well other than martin luther king and Ghandi.

But yes saadly he did have troubles with his back. Did you know he had surgery right after filming princess bride? What a brave fellow, he was in quite alot of pain during shooting apparently:(

But he shall always remain in my meory as the cheerful,friendly giant who was buddies with Domingo montoya. And he loved to rhyme
:D

three cheers for andre!!!!
:beer: hip hip
:beer: Hooray

[Fleurdelacour]

How am I meant to know who Andre the Giant is Serveus? I already said I never heard of him, and I was joking, I thought that was obvious, evidently, it wasn't.... But you don't need to insult people in return.

Oh Ian McKellen rocks :D He had the best shoes when I saw him at the local flower show a few months back. He and Ala Cumming, during their spare time during filming X2, went on nude beaches, you had to be there watching it to appriate how funny the way Alan was explaining it :D :notworthy Sir Ian!

[Ollie Loop]

i have no idea what you guys are talking about...:confused:
