Thanks, Virgil :).

I liked Volpone very much :nod:. There were so many intrigues and secret motives you really had to pay attention to who was fooling whom. What I found the most interesting point to the play is that I think Jonson might have raised the audience's sympathies rather for the avaricious and immoral Volpone than for his more decent antagonists, just because the former is so much wittier :p.

After having survived a couple of interviews and group discussions and a presentation, I was awarded the national scholarship I was applying for :banana: :D

We played Shelock Holmbert in LARP and almost solved the case - that is - we said: it is either A or B, but since it seems that A has a slight motive, A is more probable. Actually it was B who was a gambling addict and killed so that it wouldn't come out that she had taken money from the restaurant budget where she was working, but since everyone who knew the fact were silent about it, and didn't say anything about it, we guess that it was best we could achieve.
Everything else was correct besides that tiny detail.

I held back my tears, when I was feeling I wouldn't be able to live without having a fit of tears. And I survived. I survived better than I would have if I would have let my tears out.

Ummm.....I think it was something to boast about.....

I knew you were a very brave girl, Pensy :nod:. I hope you're feeling better now.
If you feel like it, come over here and we'll have some cookies freshly made by moi (to quote lovely Drama :)).

And I know it's even better than that. I've put on a bit of muscle, and muscle weighs like twice as much as fat. So not only have I lost weight, I've lost quite a bit of fat and replaced it with muscle. I can feel my pants are loose again!:thumbs_up

:( I have to unboast. :( I've put back half of what I lost. I'm still exercising but I've been eating larger portions again. Still my waist has not grown so it may just be muscle and natural water fluctuation. Still, I'm failing...:bawling: :bawling:

Shocks you have to boast something too!

I have not grown an inch in the past decade.

Lol.

Ummm....I got 80% in this very very difficult essay-lots of my peers failed and no one I've spoken got more than 65%. So yayyy!

I saved the world!

Well, I saved some little insect thing, no idea what it was, was on my clothes, normally i just kill them (sorry!) but today I controlled myself and walked to the garden and set them free! So I saved the...insect world!

Oh, I'm sorry about that, Virgil. But isn't it natural that when excercising at first you lose some weight, but will gain a bit (not all of the lost amount, of course !) after a time ? Some kind of levelling off ?
I hope this has not done a lot of psychological damage... Keep it up :).

maybe you put on muscles???? muscles are heavier than fat. also, when you exercise and grow muscles, you need more food because muscles use up more food.
heehee, i wouldn't count on it, though.
have you seen one of those doctors who can analyse how much fat, water and muscles your body's made up of? (what are they called????)

eat smaller portions! :):p
hehe, no offense, I had a tantrum myself this week because i still haven't lost all the weight i put on in England (2,5 years ago!!!!!!)

Yes, I think I'm building a quite a bit of muscle. That's why overall I've been encouraged. I actually lost some weight while building muscle.

Something I need to boast about - I finally found out what a certain technical term meant! (And that is something to be happy about after the two days I spent agonising over it.) ;)

I cut my hair shorter than I ever have before, to my jaw! And that's boast-worthy because I rarely do anything unpredictable. Meaning my hair has, until recently, only gone to shoulder length.

You guys are simply great ! :nod:

I envy you all. I havent made a boast post so far. I live in a messy room, I have no intention of cleaning it, and I have never ever done anything big, grand or great.

I should find something to boast about.

Today I single handedly defeated the Giant Venusian Spider King in glorious combat!!!!! I found it hiding in my closet and smashed it with my newspaper. The evil king was cunning though, and while it managed to evade my first strike, it was not ready for the second deadly smash that ultimately splattered him on the side of the closet! :D

Hmmm....Maybe? :brow:

First of all I am no princess, I am a humble peasant girl who wouldnt mind being swept off her feet by her Prince Schoko :blush:

Err....But, do you really have to carry me? Cant we walk, or take a taxi or something? I am very heavy, you see :p And from what I see in your picture, you seem to be a delicate prince :p :p Its Okay by me if you can, really :D

Btw, you dont plan to make a second or third sweep off? :p

Pah, what kind of prince were I if I wouldn't even carry you off properly ? My armor might be a bit in the way, but ere I fly over, I'll practise some more ;).

Maybe, but all I know is they all cowered in fear behind their teacher, who was just telling them about the benefits of brocolli. That evil woman, planting the seeds of evil in those young minds. Now that I think about it, I think the brocolli had already corrupted them, and that is why they all screamed. Those poor children...

Aw! That damn broccoli! That woman should be reading to her pupils, not scaring them with talk of vegetables!!:D

03-29-2007, 02:32 PM
AimusSage

finally, people who understand the evil that is brocolli!

Turnips on the other hand, as the little Cookie was kind enough to mention, are the best and most valuable vegetable in the universe. Not only that, but they are the ones that will someday safe us from the oppression that is brocolli. :)
