    so where's the boast? are you trying to say you ate them exceptionally slowly?

    Congratulations on the chocolate record Scher
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    Oh, did I forget to mention that I had tucked 4 FR into four different corners of my mouth simultaneously???

    I read that one for my Counselling course couple of years ago. Interesting story. Did you read it for your school work?

    nope i read it just for fun. my mum gave it to me to read in german when i was a kid and I remembered i liked it a lot, so i took it out in English from the library.

    it was really interesting, except that it drove me nuts the way she echoed whatever the boy said. but apparently that's how play therapy works...

    erhem, well... it's to do with probabemes (something my prof has made up and isn't quite sure a) what it is and b) if they exist) and "Funktionsverbgefüge" (~support verb constructions), e.g. to raise an objection (vs to object) or in German "zum Einsturz bringen"
    trouble is there are loads of different constructions that are all called "Funktionsverbgefüge", so i need to sort out which of them are relevant for my paper first of all

    thanks
    yep. "great" was what i thought when my prof asked me "Do you know 'Funktionsverbgefüge"?

    i hate German terminology.. Funktionsverbgefüge sounds like a bunch of auxiliaries to me, like "should have" or "must have been" ... my friend who's a tutor too thought the same!

    This isn't really a boast, but I don't know where else to post.

    I bought this scooty today, only the colour is blue. I am really feeling like this while posting



    A shade lighter than the blue shown in this.



    A lot of my commuting problems will be solved now. I will need to practice riding it a little bit, then i'll be fine. I will take litnet members for a ride also, you just need to have your insurance

    Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

    Be the change you wish to see

    hehe, nice scooter Maddie congrats on buying it.


    i went to univ by bike today (from my new flat which is much farther away then my old one)... it's about 15 km one way..
    going there was great but coming back I had to battle against a strongish headwind. i felt like a zombie when i came home...

    I got 1st place in a lip sync contest on Friday.
    After I practiced for an hour, and beat people that had been rehearsing for weeks.
    It was pretty neat.
