He lives in India, I assume pretty well off or decently so but yeah...maybe he missed that lesson, I learned it years ago, I think primary school.

Ahhh I have so much catching up to do here!
I hope I won't forget anything...

So first of all:
mem, I am very glad that your visit at the police station went well!
And of course you should keep on dreaming of becoming an author, especially now that you got positive feedback about your writing style and thesis in general!

You two sound sensible indeed when it comes to financial stuff. And I can totally understand how one can spend much on food (or cake --> Poshi xD).

I realized that I've been spending a little more on drinks lately. Like coffee or iced tea or the like. Because I was meeting quite a few friends in town and it's always quite convenient to go for a coffee to chit-chat and then go our seperate ways afterwards. At least I haven't spend much on anything else. I bought a few things, but they were pretty cheap and I really needed it e.g. a new bra in beige which is invisible and only sticks to your body without any holders. My other beige one is too big for me which I only can admit now (Julez has small boobs). And I bought a new rucksack because my old one was totally torn. Now I also need a bigger handbag for work, but I can't find a cheap, but nice one.. Yet.

Italy:
I have to admit I am not too fond of the language (and language is important for me), but I really really like to see Florence, Rome and Naples!!! Sounds great that you can walk the distances in the center :3 Always nice!
I've been to Venice when I was 12 with my family (for a day though only, visited other things and been to the ocean), but I did not like the city much. It was okay, but there was bad smell everywhere and it was too crowded.

Lady,
what box? Where can I get that box? is it somewhere online?
Do you have any more recommendations for buying fan stuff pretty cheap? I love Harry Potter, Legend of Zelda and the like and lately (literally one week ago) I started to re-discover Final Fantasy for me. Playing FF 9 on the PS1 right now

Hm.. Was there anything else...

My trip was great btw :) We've been to Dresden, a city in the east of Germany, not far from the Czech Republic. The trip itself was great, but we did not like the town much. This city was almost completely destroyed during the WW2, and you really see that all the houses are modern although they are supposed to look like they're 200 years old. And I do not like it. There were a few houses and places we liked. But the dialect spoken there is... a little disgusting and funny xD
All in all we are glad to have been on this trip, we had lots of fun and I got to know this friend even better, but it's also nice to be back home :3

I dream and dream, but no results I should start actually writing again, maybe I'll find some time now.

You know, I wonder if we indeed are sensible as you say. I'm getting the impression we're spending a small fortune for food... because while living with Ash's step-dad we couldn't cook and we got lazy and now we still barely cook ourselves, instead we order >.<; We should put an end to it

I don't really like Italian language either... It sounds agressive, much like Greek x.x At least to me.
And yea, I've heard about the smell in Venice ;/ But I also heard about smell in India, but still have to go there xD

Great to hear you had a good time on your trip, despite some things :)

Well I got it from EB games which is like Gamestop in the US?

But I do like to shop on amiami for figures. They work out the best price for me.

Is said mystery box, I got lightning from it.

Ah I see, Vivi looks so cute ^.^
I am not too fond of figures, I rather collect stuff one can "use" like cups, books, necklaces etc. :)

Ugh I hate my laptop computer sometimes.... Occasionally the connection to the internet ends and I am like "submit" the message and it's gone because I have no connection ._.

mem then you should sit down and start living your dream :P
*realizes what Julez has planned and not done*
.... I should learn playing the guitar. Finally.

YESSS I am SO happy that you agree with me!! Greek and Italian sound horrible in my ears!!! I like Spanish, but Italian.. nope. Big nope. Simply do not want to learn it. Although people are always like "Oh come on, it should be so easy to learn Italian as you speak French and Spanish. No prob" - true, but I simply don't want to xD

You should start cooking, cooking is fun. And this way you can also check on what you eat and cook what you like :3 And eat healthy, too :P

Ah thanks, it was fun :)

They sell things you can use too

@Julez: It seems to me I want many things, but end up only dreaming about them and not taking much action I get the flash in the pan moments when I do take action, but well, it's a flash and I can't stick to it
I need to kick my own butt. Here's the list of things I want to achieve:
regular exercising
(re-)learn Japanese, Hindi, Swedish
write that effing book, dog damn it
write fanfictions in the meantime
take a course in dubbing
But I end up coming here and spending my whole time here even if I'd want to write something. Maybe it's because I don't feel comfortable writing in the office...

I had a few lessons of Italian, didn't study at all and still the vocabulary and all that were staying in my head, like it was coming naturally. But I really hated the sound of the language itself. And my mom was all "ooh, Italian is so beautiful, I wish I could learn it blabla" so why don't you? ;>.> I know you barely speak English, but no one says you can't learn Italian because of that XD Oh well. That's my mom.
Greek I hear at times at my work (boss is Greek) and whenever he speaks it, I can't shake the feeling he's angry, even if he's tone is gentle
But listening to Shakira makes me want to learn Spanish XD
Lol, how funny, here I'm posting about languages and a guy at work began asking me about Hindi grammar and then began about other languages and he ended up being scolded by his supervisor because he's supposed to be calling people XD Yeah, he's young and talkative

I know, but we got so lazy... We were cooking ourselves when we previously were living with my grandma. Then my sister showed up needing a place to live in, so we moved to bf's step-dad's place and there we couldn't cook anything in peace unless we wanted to be criticised for every tiniest thing, so we gave up and got used to ordering food... I should convince bf to make some bigger shopping and food planning this weekend.

Food talk, and it reminded me I'm hungry XD

Haha, I feel you with German. *blames her boring german teacaher from junior high school* I also don't really like the sound of Russian either... It's not that it sounds angry, but it makes me angry when I hear it *blames her first ever Russian teacher*
Lol, Polish isn't the nicest language, I have to admit that, we do have a fistfull of harsh sounds

I like italian, I want to learn it. It doesn't sound harsh to me, but then again, my mother tongue is german ;)
I actually tried to get an italian course this semester (we can attend some for free through uni, which is cool and I wanted to take advantage of it while I still can), but I forgot to check in the morning when enrolling for them opened. When I came back from shopping in the afternoon all the introductory courses were already full :( I enrolled anyway to be put on the waiting list, but I'm not very hopeful...
