Possibly but I still wouldn't trust him Inspire. ;)Quote:

I haven't had a coke in two weeks.
I'm proud of myself!
hmm, my 40th post! yay! hahahahah try that for an unimpressive post count. but i'm still happy.. i'm usually terrible at keeping up with forums.
I've had my cell for almost a year now and I still haven't lost it (well, not for more than a day)! :D
I decided to eat less sweets and lost 7 Pounds!!! :D
That is great Baki. :)Quote:

As for me... we had our awards assembly for Semester 1 (as my blog readers would know :)) and I got 5 awards, and am top of 4 of my classes: TEE Art, 1a/1b Drama, History and Media :)
I got my A-Level results last week, and got 4 As with full marks in 9 of my modules.
And I actually got an A in further maths. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That feels better.
Way to go, Lioness! :)
What are your plans for the university?
Very good Lioness. You are a true Lioness. ;)
i painted a picture for the first time in three years! :)!!
i am very proud of myself.
Five Henry James novels in two and a half months... Plus lots of short fiction by HJ and by HP Lovecraft, along with two Roth novels.
Altogether a pretty productive summer. :)

Told my mother about my sexuality today.
As they say, those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind.
That is impressive. I couldn't read James in back to back novels. I would go batty. :DQuote:

Hmmmm a boast....well I admitted to myself just now that I have not got too much to boast about. Can that be a boast itself? :p
Congratulations, that's just amazing! :banana:Quote:

I don't have that fancy accent.
Something to boast about! I recieved post in work yesterday! It was a book and a box of chocolates from an Author with a card to say thanks for everything. Isnt that sweet!

Tal, you can practice the fancy accent. I'm sure you'll get there ;)
Thank-you! and to Virgil and Pensive also.Quote:

there's nothing to boast, really, but I'm glad I'm done with them.
Linguistics (today) was ****e. You can pick from 11 different topics and it's recommended to prepare one special topic plus this one thingy where you have to know bits from all areas and apply them to a text. I'd focused on syntax and studied loads and loads and kept the text thingy as a back-up.
as it turned out, the syntax question was a single essay question instead of 5 or 6 analyses. I could have written lots about this questions, only not from the angle that the examiner had in mind. so I did the text thing instead but was only able to answer 5 out of 7 questions because I had no idea about the other two topics :( :( so I'll probably get a C :( I could have gotten an A if the syntax question hadn't been an essay :( :( :(
but translation and essay writing went fine :)
let's hope Geography (Friday next week and the Monday after that) will be better as a compensation. (slim chance of that, but one can hope).
I have a Geometry class that's like 3 years above my grade level and in my Pre-Alg. year, I failed the section on Geometry. I was sooooo worried about this year, but I have made A's on all od my tests and never below a B on any hoework. Yay me!
My grand achievement today? I did not call anyone a douche bag. Well except for Ming and Flash Gordon. But I mean real people.
This is my 1,000th post! Yay:)
Yay!! Congrats. :DQuote:

Poetess, I think it's North of England (probably very far up north, near Scotland). You can tell by the way they pronounce their o's and say "Our John". - better ask a native speaker, thoughQuote:

It's Northern Ireland - a difficult accent for a non-native to produce, easy to mimic but difficult to get just right, Catherine Tate makes not a bad job of it.Quote:

Today I nearly ran over a squirrel in the park. Squirrels, as it happens, are quite indecisive!
Admirable, Fifth! I couldn't do that - not every day and in all kinds of weather.
thanks kasie, I never knew Northern Irish sounds like this. but I suppose that explains why it sounds a little like ScottishQuote:

Thanks barbara! I've been lucky the weather's been pretty good so far, but I actually enjoy cycling in the rain! My route takes me through a local park and when it rains I get a days relief from dogs, especially those on flexi-leads - a cyclists nightmare!Quote:
