Yesterday my random thought as I was leaving the house was
"please dont let me be hit by a bus today, Im wearing odd socks"
What I was in a hurry and wearing boots*shrugs*
Anyway so I didnt get hit by a bus but just about every other thing that could possibly go wrong did.
I messed up the till twice and I threw up at work. etc etc so on and so forth.
so my random thought today is that age old what is it proverb(??) It never rains but it pours.
I fear the moment when you'll tell me how...:rolleyes:Quote:

Nighty, I have a story about odd socks... a girl who was with me in Moscow decided to wear odd socks on the journey cos she couldnt find a pair in the mess of the luggage... and she thought nevermind, noone will see them, and we all agreed :nod: The funny part is, that at the airport in Moscow in the metal detector controls you have to take off your shoes for them to check them!!! (It was so strange to me ;)) She was kinda embarassed but well, there's worse...
Well I hope today is better for you Nighty... we have a proverb saying that 'it always rains on wet', but maybe it's a bit different, like saying that unlucky things always happen to people who wouldnt deserve them...
OMG I realised now that the above post was my 3000th post!!! Uff, I like to have 2000something... now I have to get used to it and in a few months it'll change again... I think I reached 2000 last May or maybe ven June... :rolleyes: but yeah this summer as been a bit inactive to me... :eek: Oh no *gets anxious and nervous again* I need a life!!! :eek:

i feel accomplished i've never done that before. i usually just stick with a summary after i play around with the characters. when i do write a rough drafts, i use simple sentences and don't vary my style. and though i make notes here and there to "revise sentences" or to "find right word later," i always feel too lazy to go back and make the second, third, and maybe final draft. my attention span is too short and i usually would rather move on with another story using the same characters or come up with completely new characters.
ah, i might have the ability to publish a sci-fi novel if i have the will to do it after all. :p
I hat robbing banks...pistolero
ahh, to quote Garfield, bored, I'm so bored, bored bored borted bored bored.
Well, that made me less bored,lol :D

Charles Schultz Philosophy
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point. 1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world. 2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners. 3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America. 4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize. 5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress. 6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do? The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners. Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one: 1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school. 2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time. 3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile. 4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special. 5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
Easier? The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care. Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life. "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia." (Charles Schultz)
That's no news, is it? :DQuote:
