*tears self away from Skyrates to write this* [26 Jul 2008|04:04pm] zekkass So? So. Skyrates is awesome. I highly recommend playing it, and checking out the radio and forums. (Oh, hey, SC2 fans - it's combat system is similar to the SC2 combat system, and just as fun.) Secondly. I'm going offline for a week or so soon, but I will let you know when I get back. Don't worry about it, I'll be fine. Finally, the big happy news! I've survived another year, and I will be turning seventeen on July 31st! I'll try to make a post closer to the date, but I wanted to say so in advance. :) I hope you all are doing well! ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

[26 Jul 2008|03:29pm] a_midnight_muse Jill found some papers in the printer on Thursday and asked me if they were mine, they weren't mine or Osaze's, but they looked like homework...they might be Jenn's. Jill warned us about doing "homework" at work even when things are slow because apparently a girl who used to work in customer care got ratted on by someone in the office to Mark (the CEO) and was promptly fired. I suppose I've been pretty bold this summer during our slow periods checking my personal email, applying for jobs while at work, and websurfing (sometimes not for work-related things)...I should tone this down...heh. Although really, I need something to keep me busy...my only real vice is having my gmail open if the computer is on...hrm...blah I'm so bored. Osaze and I predict that things will really pick up in September when all our members return from holiday and still haven't received their cheques yet...oh that will be madness! Guess I'll just have one more month of boredom to force myself through...I should be thankful for the downtime, I'll be craving it when things start picking up again. I just sent off my references and transcripts to Jeff, not sure when I'll hear back from him...I want this tutoring job badly, and at the same time, I'm scared that perhaps I'm putting too much on my plate...I just wish I knew my schedule for next year, I want to be busy, really busy...but I know I also need to be realistic, travelling to and from home to work/school/etc. is going to be brutal...I feel like I'm catching up on all my sleep now to make up for the sleep deprivation I'll have starting September...I know the only course that will take up a lot of my outside class time will be the second year EFP class, otherwise everything else should be simple textbook, multiple choice exams, and essays...the former will require filming and editing... Looks like my sister is going to do something nice for me...she's going to buy me my new computer. She said this will cover her half of the phone bill, plus the $120 she still owes me for the stuff she bought using my credit card (because she doesn't have one)...this way I can still afford to pay for school if for whatever reason I am unable to get OSAP. Apparently I'll be getting OSAP this year, but I'm not certain until I can pick up and sign my papers and have money in my accounts...remembering back to last year's mishap, I'm not overly confident about administration as a whole. My sister will be going to Timmins for a week and a half next month...she's going to be doing research for Tarmo, her thesis prof...the girl seems to be going far in the research field...in fact, I envy her. She says she's enjoying the life of research and is more certain that she wants to become a professor...lol...this is coming from a girl who apparently hates school :P I've been doing some thinking...sure, I want to be a writer and I still do...I want to write amazing tv shows and possibly some documentaries, but I think I'm beginning to build an interest for the business side of television. This is strange coming from me, since I've always been so opposed to business in general...might even be a practical solution...maybe learning more about the business side of television will bring me closer to being a writer and producer :) My sister says she'll talk to her friend Omar, apparently I may be able to get on her friend's Internet tv show on enviromental stuff and possibly work for his magazine...speaking of writing, when I spoke to Jeff on Wednesday over the phone, he said that if I was interested he's thinking of putting a newsletter together for his company and wants me to help him write it if it takes off...of course, none of this will happen until it's official...I'm only 50% sure I've got this tutoring gig down...in the meantime, I'll just twiddle my thumbs and wait it out. I don't need to go in for work on Monday...I keep forgetting to call Doy, I'm a bad friend :( Hmm...I'm hoping that second year is going to mean closer ties with people from RTA...David and Teresa are the only people I've spent time with this summer...funny how Nate and I hung out all through second semester and yet we haven't seen each other once since the summer started...we still have yet to go for falafels. I actually can't wait till December...for the first time in a while, I'm excited about my birthday, I actually WANT to turn 24... ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

Ramon Stoppelenburg - Letmestayforaday [26 Jul 2008|09:29pm] gerbie Ramon Stoppelenburg - Letmestayforaday (08-038) Soms is er een boek dat je al een tijdje wil lezen, maar op de een of andere manier komt het er niet van. Dit is zo’n boek. In de handen gehad in de winkel, toch weer laten liggen, over gelezen op internet, weer voorgenomen het te bestellen en uiteindelijk komt het via een boekenring in mijn handen. De naam Ramon Stoppelenburg kwam ik voor het eerst tegen in de statistieken van mijn web-log. Blijkbaar staat mijn blog in zijn lijstje. Of hij het zelf is, of iemand die via zijn site op de mijne kwam, is mij niet bekend, maar het is wel een leuke manier om sites te ontdekken. Ik las dus over zijn verhaal en was onder de indruk. Er zijn namelijk genoeg mensen met goede ideeën, maar de meeste hebben het niet eens door. Doe maar eens wat met een idee. Dat is precies wat Ramon deed. Hij had het idee voor de website, maar ging toen ook meteen door. Site bouwen, publiciteit zoeken en ook daadwerkelijk op reis gaan. Zijn site van de reis was er dus al ruim voor het boek. Wel is het grappig dat er dan een boek komt, uiteindelijk kon dit idee alleen werken dankzij de kracht van het web, zijn verhalen en foto’s staan daardoor natuurlijk ook op de site. Maar een boek blijkt uiteindelijk toch onvermijdelijk. Of hij het idee nog even wil melken of dat hij zelf het idee heeft dat het boek iets toevoegt, durf ik niet te zeggen. Ik vind een boek altijd tachtig keer beter te verteren dan een website, dus ik was blij dat ik het boek kon lezen en niet al die losse verhaaltjes op zijn site hoefde aan te klikken. Natuurlijk ben ik ook wel jaloers. De eerste maanden van zijn reis vielen samen met de laatste maanden van mijn lange reis. Ook ik reisde anderhalf jaar door allerlei landen. Ook ik heb aan de kant van de weg gestaan met mijn duim omhoog in Honduras, Nieuw Zeeland en Australië. Maar aan het eind van de reis was ik een spiksplinternieuwe auto armer (niet eens een kleintje) en had Ramon niet alleen geen cent uitgegeven, maar er zo veel contacten en contracten aan over gehouden, dat die reis hem uiteindelijk nog geld oplevert. Aan de andere kant zie ik ook de nadelen wel. Zoals hij zelf ook aangeeft, je wordt geleefd. Je reisschema wordt bepaald door overnachtingsplekken en sponsors van diverse vervoersmiddelen. Eigenlijk heeft Ramon gewoon een aantal vakanties gehouden, iets anders dan met een rugzak de wereld rondtrekken. Maar goed, dat is het gevolg van zijn keuze, zeker geen verwijt. Zijn boek is een leuke samenvatting van zijn reizen, van zijn avonturen, van de manieren waarop hij weer naar de volgende plek reisde. Hij heeft geweldig veel meegemaakt, veel gezien en een aantal prachtige landen doorkruist. Mijn complimenten! Quote: “O nee toch, bij die gekke goudzoeker? Heeft hij je verteld over zijn ontmoetingen met de paus? Of over zijn ruimtemissies die op het laatste moment niet doorgingen en over hoe hij de Koude Oorlog beëindigde door op tijd de juiste telefoonlijnen met elkaar te verbinden in een diepzeeboot in de Atlantische Oceaan? Hij schijnt trouwens ook te weten waar Marilyn Monroe en Elvis Presley zich ophouden.” (Blz. 79) Nummer: 08-038 Titel: Letmestayforaday Auteur: Ramon Stoppelenburg Taal: Nederlands Jaar: 2004 # Pagina’s: 320 (7193) Categorie: Reisverhalen ISBN: 90-413-5052-7 ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

Hotel Rwanda [26 Jul 2008|07:26pm] the_doro [ mood | crushed ] I just sobbed my way through Hotel Rwanda. Jesus, that was the most intense movie I've ever seen. I've read a lot about Rwanda and the issues of the poor, overpopulated countries of the third world lately and I'm more and more convinced every day that this is something I would like to do in the future. I want to educate myself more on these issues and hopefully one day I will be able to make some kind of difference. There are many good things happening, but at the same time there's so much horror, so much pain and suffering in the world. I want to do something about it. I want to make use of the privileges I have been granted in life (access to education for instance) to help these people. We all need to be aware of what's happening in the world and stop pretending that we don't see it. ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

I am conserving energy [26 Jul 2008|08:08pm] sheldrake OMG so hot! (The weather). I so limp and weak and noodle-like! Best I don't try to do too much, for the sake of my health. I'd better just sit here on the sofa, sipping cold drinks and rewatching seasons 3 & 4 of Due South. IT'S FOR MY OWN GOOD! lazlet is once again to blame for this, btw (dS, not the weather). Verily, she is a menace to society. ♥ 4 went to bed with Stephen. ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

on death [26 Jul 2008|01:54pm] cjel Looks like the funeral is on Tuesday so I'll be taking the day off work and probably missing my church study because we're going out to dinner afterwards. I'm kind of disappointed about that, but whatever. On the bright side, work said I can take a floater day so aside from work not getting done when I'm not there, it'll all be good. Now I just have to figure out what one wears to a funeral (I've forgotten what I wore last time), 'cause unlike the guys I don't have a suit. ♥ 2 went to bed with Stephen. ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

At Hoss's [26 Jul 2008|02:01pm] carnivalesque [ mood | happy ] [ music | dead finger ] We're skitching off the wifi here and I'm on Randy's iPhone posting. As I squeed about before we saw Batman. AWESOME. It's finally nice weather - two days of sun in a row! It's hot today and we're going to jump in a lake tho I have already done so this morning. :) Oh btw. Randy woke me by flipping me out of bed this morning. Soooo uncool. Lolol. Tatas for now. ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

"Now take yourself hostage and see how you like it." -Andy Zaltzman. [26 Jul 2008|07:44pm] thymeth [ mood | very warm ] [ music | Sneaker Pimps ] Well, it's 28 degrees C here and hardly any wind. That's a bit much. Apparently it'll continue like this until about half-way through the week. I've spent the day watching 'This Life', reading Lynn Flewelling's Shadows Return and crocheting (not all at the same time, obviously). In a couple of days' time we'll probably go cloudberry-picking, and the blackcurrants are almost ripe too. Jolly. ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

skip reading this post. [26 Jul 2008|11:42am] snowrabbitses Things were not going well even before I read this and became very sad. I don't think I was the only one harbouring the irrational hope that he would just keep living forever. Although one of my coworkers is back so we can spend hours trying to decode blind items from Defamer and gossiping about pop culture celebrity crap- although we tend to more gossip about the gossip reporters than the actual gossip. And the extent of my romantic life is discussing with rara8777 whether or not Jim and Pam did it on their first date (the one he asked her out on in 'The Job'). lol. ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

Funny, but Real, Wikipedia Entry [26 Jul 2008|11:05am] bucksatan73 Found this entry under Cleopatra VII: In all, Cleopatra had four children, one by Caesar  and three by Mark Antony (Cleopatra Selene II, Alexander Helios, and Ptolemy Philadelphus). Her unions with her brothers produced no children. It is possible that they were never consummated; in any case, they were not close.  Really, they were not close?  They may or may not had incestuous relations and they were 'not close'?  Oh how I love you Wikipedia!! ♥ 1 went to bed with Stephen. ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

[26 Jul 2008|08:58pm] towerkeeper Фик по "Сакуре". Интермедия тепла и ветра. Сплошной флафф и никакого сюжета. Еще один абзац переживаний, но автора надолго не хватило. Зато рейтинг R, но все равно лирическая чепуха. ♥ 8 went to bed with Stephen. ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

Incorrigible [26 Jul 2008|12:26pm] alpheratz Here's a bit of contextless dialogue for you: "Incorrigible!" John said. "Did he tell you why he has been sent down?" "Yes, there was a performing bear," Carlyon answered absently. "I suppose that is sufficient to explain all!" "Well, it was sufficient to explain it all to me," Carlyon admitted. "Once the performing bear had entered Nicky's orbit the rest was inevitable." --Georgette Heyer, The Reluctant Widow ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

A case of artistic license [26 Jul 2008|09:35am] bucksatan73 I rent video games on-line through Gamefly (Kinda like a video game Netflix) and I have been playing the game Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution for the PlayStation 3. As you may or may not know, this game allows to play a historic power. The artistic license comes in with the female leaders of this game. Here are a few examples: Cleopatra from the game: Wood carving of Cleopatra: Catharine II The Great of Russia from game: Painting of Catharine II The Great: Wow, I can really see the resemblance!!!! Bless 20 to 30 something computer programmers and your huge repressed libidos!!! ♥ 4 went to bed with Stephen. ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

[26 Jul 2008|10:11am] sebastienne [ mood | restless ] Oh, but I do love my co-workers. "A Teaspoon and an Open Mind - The Science of Doctor Who" was one of my leaving gifts. And when I let slip that it was only my second-favourite Doctor Who quotation, and that I in fact preferred "Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea is getting cold" - they decided that they wanted it on a t-shirt. Right now, I am very sad to be leaving this job. But I have to put these feelings aside and make a start on packing up all of my possessions. Urk... I know, by now, how to do these impossibly-huge-seeming tasks; a little at a time, manageable chunks, regular breaks (real breaks, not just sitting down to write an LJ post). It worked for finals and it can work here. ♥ 5 went to bed with Stephen. ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥

[26 Jul 2008|11:24am] towerkeeper Мне очень стыдно. Но я сделала себе аватарку с кадром из "лавлесс". Ну вот так. О___О Я даже бабочек туды приделала... и подпись.... мне ОООЧЕНЬ стыдно.... ♥ 9 went to bed with Stephen. ♥ "I want to go to bed with you." ♥
