How was your weekend?

Mine was great.
No, I didn't really do anything special. I met up with a friend on Friday night, we had a brilliant night out and I came home around 4. I spent a good part of Saturday in bed, having a mother of a hangover, but it got better towards the evening, so I could get up and draw a bit. Today, I had another friend over to see a video, I had baked a cake and I' having another slice of it right now.

Aside from that, I met some guy on a dating page and had some rather dirty fun with him ;) And I'm right at the point where I don't care any more if my relationship is about to end or not. If he doesn't want me any more, good riddance to him! I'm not angry, I'm not hurt, I just don't care either way. Brilliant. :D

How was yours?

Saturday I worked early, came home went to bed early, and got some well needed sleep.

Today I wike up shockingly early, finishe reading a book, hopped on here, watched TV, went to a Hanami ("cherry blossom viewing party" = piss up under the flowering trees with me mates), and back here.

All in all, a nice one. :D

Erm...not so great.
Missed a gig last night because I thought it was today, had to come home from uni today, won't see my girlfriend for a couple of weeks at least, then Arsenal lost to Man Utd today.
On the plus side...there's very little. Someone cheer me up? Please?

Friday I took my 5 year old cousin Austin to a roller coaster park for a few hours. Then, I took him shopping and got the both of us a haircut. Afterwards, we came back to my house and I made him some proper Italian food before giving him a bath. Then we watched The Fantastic Four, I helped him brush his teeth, and I tucked him in.

However, both Saturday and Today have been spent studying for 30 minutes - 3 hours then posting, or swimming, or doing something which equals a break. Then I return back to studying and the vicious loop continues. This on top of having broken ribs, and not moving for a few hours while I study equals stomach muscles falling asleep and an uncomfortable hour to follow. Fun Fun!

It was pretty good. I still have about a dozen hours of it left though.

Friday night I went out with some friends and bought a ridiculous amount of alcohol - 4 six packs, 2 bottles of wine, 1 40oz, 3 20 oz bottles of schminoff ice. And then we proceded to drink until we couldnt feel feelings.

Staurday I spent the whole day with my gf, which was nice.

And I just woke up about an hour ago today.

I am happy to hear that someone had a good weekend. I had a good weekend too. Yesterday I made a breakthrough on my current college project and then went to a Crazy Penis gig with friends.

Today I just juggled and reviewed my stuff.

yay! good to hear you're feeling better :D :fluffle:

i had an ok weekend. amy was away so it was kinda lonely. spent saturday... umm... god i can't remember. must have been exciting :p
i had chips for lunch, and then did some... stuff. went out to novatech (computer store) and got a 300 gig USB2 HD and a 2 gig flash drive... now have over a terabyte of external storage in this room :D
felt kinda miserable and lonely in the evening, watched a load of 3rd Rock From The Sun on my own and played me new drumkit for a while. today was pretty much the same, except glitz got back about 5 so been talking to her since then, and did some work too. had roast chicken for dinner and about to go watch the end of Gandhi (the movie). overall, pretty damn average weekend *shrugs*

Well, the one charity shop they had in town's been closed for a while now.

However, I'm currently writing a song with Power Tab, and I'll study some more Japanese Kanji characters later today (I studied five yesterday, and they're permanently burned in my memory now).

The weekend's not a total bummer, I guess. After all, this song's coming out nicely. It's Prog Rock, and there's very little repetition in the riffs.

My weekend is alright. A friend came over for supper on friday. Then, I spent most of saturday studying, but saw a movie in the evening ("Brick", for anyone that's interested, is really good.) Also, someone called me to give me a job designing costumes for a dance troup and teaching them basic skills for how to make and maintain their own. Today I'm also studying, and plan to totally uber-pwn my vascular plants exam on Teusday.

Friday night I partied for 8+ hours, Saturday was almost non-existent and started around 17:00 and today was way too short to call it a day. Other than that, I guess pretty good. At least I had fun on Friday (and not so much fun on Saturday, but that's okay). Today was boring.

Oh, not too bad. I'm on break from school right now, which is a godsend considering the stress of approaching AP tests and having had to study for the SAT (done with that finally!).

Still recovering from a friend's birthday party on Thursday (all day. Ran 10 hours before his mother kicked us out!). Saturday I had my usual symphony rehearsals, but we made very good progress on the stuff we were working on (considerably ahead of our schedule on all of our music), and we got new audition segments for seating auditions. I finally got my "band" situation figured out and have a bass player and drummer (which technically gives me a whole band, although I'm going to have to work my ass off to do vocals and guitar at the same time). I've been sitting on Power tab trying to express some musical ideas that have been rattling around in my skull for almost a month. I've got my other band on the path to forming (technically have a vocalist and 2nd guitarist for that one, but drums and bass are more an issue of whether I move those two over to their other instruments and find a vocalist, or if I try and find a drummer and bass player).

I played accoustic guitar all day yesterday, after rehearsal, and I've destroyed all the caluses on my left hand, but they're rebuilding. The only problem is that I'm bored as hell right now.

I just had a look at your location... Sol III? Terra? You wouldn't happen to be a Perry Rhodan fan? Or is that coincidence?

Knackered as all hell from a sponsored hike yesterday (doing the first half in drag was good for sponsorship but BAD for going cross-country) and traipsing around in the rain with friends today but man does it feel good.

Went to see She's The Man. It's as bad as I thought, trad girl-masquerades -as-boy routine, this time for the love of football.

Busy, very, very busy. Mainly spent on the phone making hotel and car arangements for my upcoming wedding with my fiancee (as in, she told me what she wanted, I did the work on the computer. The glories of modern communication tech).

I also got to see what my fiancee has registered us for and I'm still trying to figure out why we need a wooden banana hanger once we're married.

I had a good weeekend. :) The weather was nice, which helps!

Went out on Friday night with the girls, had a really good time. Came home to a warm and slightly drunk Canadian and had a very nice ummmm night.:fluffle: ;) Had to get up early to take middle daughter somewhere for 8am, then came home and had a nice breakfast, then we went for a walk around the town, and had a lovely bagette and a fresh fruit smoothie from heaven, sitting in the square in the sun. Wandered home and ummm had a lay down :fluffle: , then decided that as it was such a nice day we should go for a walk, went along the riverbank and then some little country lanes, for about 3 miles or so, came home and spent a pleasant evening at home with the family. On Sunday morning, we got up nice and early and took the boy to rugby on the other side of the Island, then went and wandered around the little seaside town, had a great brunch of a hot bacon and crumbly stilton baggette and then listened to a jazz band playing in the street, went back to collect the boy, and watched him play, sitting in the sun, on a pitch which has the most fantastic cliff top location, with a great view over the channel. Then we came home, and went out for a bike ride...visited friends with a litter of lovely new puppies and then watched TV for a bit before an 'early night' :fluffle: .........

A wonderful and lovingly cosy, loving weekend. Just how they should be.

How was yours?Weeell, I don't have internet on weekends, so I decided to cook and get paid for prostituting my intellect (translating something for a cosmetic company). I cooked, though maybe I used too much ketchup and the fact that my ground beef FROZE in my fridge may have changed the taste a bit. But it tasted good, nevertheless. Then I finally got paid for the work I did. It would have been nicer if I hadn't been thinking about not wanting to see my ex and her new boyfriend together today all last night, and if the kid that seems to have moved in with its parents/mother/father within earshot of my apartment had gone to bed BEFORE midnight, and if this other apartment hadn't been playing music that I didn't want to listen to until midnight.

But in all, a rather acceptable weekend. :)

the people buying my house backed out for stupid reasons. They should have done so two months ago. I've lost a lot of time and money not having it on the market this whole time.
Then as a result, the builder we were buying our new home from put the house we were supposed to close on today, back on the market for $30,000.00 more.
To add insult to injury, I have $4,000.00 worth of appliances and another $800.00 in lighting fixtures in that house and now comes the hard part of getting them-or the $$ back.

Plus-remarket the house I'm in and find another.

Moving house is SO stressful. I do know how bad it can be if things go well...I am sorry for you all, and I am sure that your wife feels horrible. You mentally moved into your 'new' home, and now through no fault of your own, it has been taken away from you. I have to say that I feel very badly for you.

Thanks for your support and encouragement-I do appreciate it.

Well I was just sending a fluffle to show that I felt badly for him, but I do know what you mean, it is a crappy thing to happen.:(

As to how your children feel, its horrible for them, and that makes it worse for you. I went through a horrible and bitter divorce last year, and I am still fighting to keep my home, my ex wants me to give him £50,000 or a third of the value of the house when our son is 16, my children have lived here almost all of their lives and it could mean that I lose the house because I will struggle to get that much money. My daughter took an overdose and the lawyers fees are just mounting and mounting...last time I went to court, I was so upset I was physically sick. I feel so crap for my kids, not being able to reasure them properly is the worse thing for me.

Sometimes, life gives you a kick in the teeth...I have had some pretty big ones that almost cost me my beautiful smile :D ...but I have decided to look upon the kicks as a good way to remember how good my life is the rest of the time. But sometimes, the blow affects people that you love too, and that makes it feel even worse. When I saw your post, I have to admit I wondered if someone you love had been diagnosed with a terrible illness or your marriage was in trouble....so I was intitially pleased to see that it was not SO bad after all...and I am NOT saying that to make you feel better, I am just saying that because that is what I thought. I am sure that right now, you don't want to hear people saying 'it could be worse' and shit like that, as I am pretty sure that to your family at present it feels like a huge disaster. I hope that in the end, that something better will come out of it for you, and if not, maybe we can arrange for something to 'happen' to some people eh? :cool:

Mine was mixed.
I went to see Sigur Ross on Friday, which was ok. They're good, but limited so got a bit repetitive, imo.
Just before the concert, me and a mate stop by Mrs Field's cookie shop and bought some cookies (no, we didn't have the munchies).
Just after the concert, I started feeling a little sick. Within 10 minutes I was flushing rusty water out my arse and within an hour vomiting all over the ferry toilet (most got into the bowl). Spent the night with the heater on full and wrapped in two quilts, teeth chattering - and this despite it being 25 degrees C outside. Mate was also sick, so guess Mrs Field's isn't as thorough cleaning her hands as she should be, the dirty cow.

Still, made the best of it come Saturday and lay on the sofa watching DVDs (Futurama, Simpsons, Alan Partridge, Family guy), eating chocolate and drinking coke.

I know it could be worse and than God that its not. All my problems can be solved with money and those are the only problems I'd choose if I had to.
My family is health yand we're together. I can deal with everything else.
It sounds like you've had your hands full as well-with things far worse than I'm trying to deal with. And yet, you're smiling and making an appreciated effort to boost me when I'm down.
Thanks-I really do appreciate your kindness and support.
And my best wishes to you and your family.

As for the people that have jeopardized my family's well being? I'm different these days. When I was 25,something would have already happened.
Now I'm reconsidering what goes around, comes around.

I'm remembering a line about my past sins coming to revisit me and not being able to bear it. I will though.

Damn... I knew how happy you were that everything had gone so smoothly with the new house and selling the old... :(

Hey, I may not have your experience, but there's one thing I can tell you about incidents like these :
You'll get an even better deal and an even better house. Sure it's more hassle right now, and it's tough that the kids are disappointed (and you just as much, I bet) Just trust fate for a moment... ;)

And I know it doesn't help much, but still :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:

Thanks man. I'm betting a few short months away, all will be well and I'll be glad things turned out how they did.

Yep-things were looking good there for a while. I just hate rude awakenings and especially because I'm usually prepared for them.

I was completely off-guard for this one and had to watch as ech thing went wrong, and making the next step fail as well.

I know it'll work out and I'm sorry to you because I feel like I hijacked your thread. I dont usually hemmorage my angst like this.

And I was happy to hear you had a nice,satisfying weekend. Thanks for your concern, sweety.:fluffle:

You didn't hijack, I asked how your weekend was and you answered. And everybody has moments like that, some people with a lot less reason that you have riht now. Hell, I just had about half a year of moments like this, for no real reason at all.
It might sound sarcastic, but you just can't always control everything... but I know thist will work out ok in the end, and even better than it was before.

Edit: Satisfying... hehe... yep. Yep, that's the right word :D

Sorry about the house thing, Carnivorous Lickers. A similar thing happened to my parents when my brother and me were small. As it happens though, we know the people that bought the house we were going to have and it got some nasty dry rot the year after they bought it, and the garden fence blew over in a gentle storm.

So it's probably just as well we didn't get the house, and so probably will turn out that it's good you didn't get that other house, too.

<<nods wisely>>

As for my weekend, I went over my friend's on Friday night and we got distracted ;)

Went to a birthday party on Saturday of a friend from school which was kind of a laugh, but also kind of depressing because I was the only sober one and they were all fairly stupid.

On Sunday I ran a 10k race and was the fastest girl under the age of 20. So I'm fairly happy.

I spend a great deal of time controlling my situations,wetehr you can tell or not. I learned a lesson in the past week.

And I really am glad to hear you had some quailty time well spent.

I'd love to hear more about it, but its not worth seeing you banned. I'll leave it up to my imagination. ;)

My weekend was quite nice. Faire started. I spent two days wearing Renaissance garb, spinning, dancing, eating and generally playing. For seven weekends out of the year, I am myself.

Yes- things happen for a reason.

Fastest girl under 20 in a 10 K race? Good for you!!
Thats something to be very proud of. :D
And I have a feeling it wont be the last.

Best wishes in your future races-keep the momentum.

I know you like to be in control, so I think this situation mustbe exceptionally difficult for you to cope with... just let go if you can.

Yes, mentioning the word "cybersex" can indeed be dangerous on NS... so I'll just call it smalltalk. But, boy, can that guy talk small! :cool:

it was crazy stressful

Starting Monday night last week I had to be at church every night for rehearsal, then Friday night we had a show, Saturday another, and Sunday another, plus I had to go to church Sunday morning, so Sunday I was at church for about 15 hours.

This week is low stress (for me anyway) I don't have to do much, but next week all hell breaks loose again. :(

Dull and commonplace. I think that I would rather have something horrible happen than nothing different at all.
