Teacup Cafe XXX - Page 50

oh me, too! That's what I hate about the boxed chocolates we sell at valantine's day. Half of them are filled with cream that's supossed to be fruit flavored, but taste awful. Give me carmel or chocolate filled or solid anyday.

Midge · 08-27-2008, 09:16 PM

My grandma likes the ones with REAL cherries in them.

Whew.. figuring out a game thread is hard work!

I don't want to read the text for my Communications class, but I guess I will. I'd rather read Harry Potter. It's no way to start off the semester, blowing off readings from what's probably the easiest part of the book, though...

**Mari** · 08-28-2008, 03:24 AM

I start with Psychology, Pedagogy and Communication Techniques next week. Of course I still have to buy the books

I'm kinda looking forward to it, but I'm not entirely sure how I am going to survive the entire year with those people. Though I'm sure they are very nice in their own right. Just gotta get used to all those social people of the scary type around me

My sister starts college again, just a few days from now. All in all, it's been a rather chaotic month, or 2. I got started with the Rpg once again, the Long Lost Leaves one. I added a short post that should suffice humour-wise for now. I noticed my husband's extremely long post and never got to read it. It looked more like narration than anything, and he is a good narrator, just long-spoken.

I've been trying to get my sister back on here but she's been pretty busy with transferring to annother university and she ended up in late registration for courses, but fortunately she got what she wanted for courses. She's been pulling a lot of work lately, with helping me start a new site and spending time on visiting the new university. I really like the new place she's going to, and I think she'll do well there. Fortunately she won't have to take money from Josh or my grandparents for dormitory expenses.

The place already seems emptier even before Josh's vacation ends and Mandy goes to college. It's that deep calm before the ... even deeper calm.

Our first year together, Josh and I, would have started off a lot better if not for all of these distractions in the way. Hopefully things will cool off a little and that deeper calm will bring Josh and I together a little more, without all the little stuff in the way in between.

**Mari** · 08-28-2008, 10:16 AM

I hope it will. ^_^

I like creams and caramels, myself. Hate anything with fruit middles.

Finnish Fazer chocolate is great... with whole nuts in it... ahhh. Damn, now I want chocolate!

Me wants it...

Nah, I've had too much (wait, that's not possible

) candy past few weeks. 4tunately, we had to make up sports programs for ourselves if we took gym this year. I don't really have much endurance...

*flops on couch* repair guys just left.

If you live in your parents' house or a dorm, you have no idea how lucky you are.

Funny thing is, my parents say they're lucky to have me still at home as often as the reverse.

I don't mean at all that young people don't contribute to their households.

But houses are like cars, in the 'on-going bills, insurance, maintenence" respect...except they often represent a large part of one's material wealth. It can be really tense.

I would love to open a refridgerator once and find my roommate had left me goodies.

or even leftovers.

That totally wouldn't happen. For one thing, I have a single.

For another, I'm the only one of my friends who ever buys anything.

**Mari** · 08-28-2008, 05:12 PM

What Gwai said.

Besides, when we had a leak last week I had to get it sorted out because I was the one who wasn't working. The person who doesn't work, does the household stuff. Though as you say I don't have to worry about the mortgage or the bill for the repairs.

***Varnafindë*** · 08-28-2008, 06:41 PM

Yay, there is a Narnia trivia thread here!

*has already posted in it*

Varnafindë was born in Narnia - her parents had stumbled through a portal - so she should know all about Narnian history

And don't you forget it. I'm tired of hearing old people including my own granny say we young'uns don't have work ethics.

Very true. I'm very glad I can go on saving for a little longer without having to foot all the housing and goods bills.

There's a whole sub-section of forum devoted to C.S. Lewis. However, not very many people post in it. I'd love to see more people do so.. I LOVE C.S. Lewis. However, it's not very neat to post in a thread where you're the only one. Anyway.

I suppose I should check whether I find any interesting threads there for bumping

**Mari** · 08-29-2008, 03:06 AM

Good morning!

Only 3 posts left in this thread. Who will start the next one?
And shouldn't we have had at least one big party or war or whatever in here?
We are becoming rather tame these days

And why is no one tackling me?

It got cold again, so I'm back to cat self...

To think I'd still be around here to see the 30th embodiment of the Teacup Café come to an end...

Oh, can I have the honour of opening the XXXI'th incarnation of the thread?
