sigh, sorta makes me wish I had some snow here.

Your element is Darkness. You prefer to stick to
the shadows and only reveal your true self when
you absolutely have to. You like being alone
and probably don't have a ton of friends, just
a few close ones. In a group you're also
considered the quiet one and not without good
reason. You're not shy, you just don't have
anything to say. You like to think things
through carefully before acting, you know that
you only get one chance at things. That isn't a
problem though, with your intelligence there is
no obstacle that can stand in your way.

Is there any other kind of book to write?

LITERATURE! - You have a story...oh yes, you do!
You are not quite sure what it is, but it
burns! It burns to be poured onto the page!
Write! Write I say! And thrill us with your
unique view of the world. YOU are your own
inspiration!

Why do I feel so lucky to be this:





and not this:




take the WHAT BAD BOOK ARE YOU test.


and go to mewing.net. not as good as reading a good book, but way better than a bad one.


And now for the truth. I managed to get though HS and Uni and never had to read this, or if I did I talked my boyfriend into re-telling it to me so I was spared.

BTW... I have read atlas shrugged and figured that AR must have eaten poo-poo sanswiches and drank pee-pee shakes, because she is vile in a pseudo intellectual way (then again, who am I to talk/write) in short I think she is responsible for much of the evil in our current day in age.

I think I must be THAT girl...

Amazing what google can do. I am indeed the girl that grew up in exotic places. Sometimes I think that this man is the biggest goofball in the world. But it may be the case that I am. I still don't understand what the tension is between this man and myself, but it is still there, haunting me from obscure corners of my subconscious. I know I love my husband, and I wonder if it is a betrayal that I still think of this man. I don't think so... mainly because this man, Andrew, is about as selfish as they come. When we gave our relationship one last try, he blew it. I just wonder why he could never be honest with me, I learned to be honest with him.
Anyway, about those long lost forgotten loves, I will never forget this one... but I am soooooo glad I am married to the man I am as he is honest and somehow manages to complete me in ways I never thought possible. Schatz, if you ever find this and read it.... know that I love you with my whole entire heart and that I am so grateful that I could bear you our lovely and delightful son and that I would never leave you to go back to this man.

I knew I was fast but that fast....

You'd like to think of them as freckles. When others say your name very quickly, you think they're accusing you of something.

You scored as Classical Liberal. You are a classical liberal. You are sceptical about much of the historicity of the Bible, and the most important thing Jesus has done is to set us a good moral example that we are to follow. Doctrines like the trinity and the incarnation are speculative and not really important, and in the face of science and philosophy the surest way we can be certain about God is by our inner awareness of him. Discipleship is expressed by good moral behaviour, but inward religious feeling is most important.

birth day(s)

Me

Your Birthdate: December 2

Your birth on the 2nd day of the month adds a degree of emotion, sensitivity, and intuition to your life. The 2 is a very social number allowing you to make friends easily and quickly. Yet you are apt to have a rather nervous air in the company of a large group. You have a warmhearted nature and emotional understanding that constantly seeks affection. You are more prone than most to become depressed and moody, as emotions can turn inward and cause anxiety and mental turmoil. It can be hard for you to bounce back to reality when depression sets in.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Squink

Your Birthdate: December 22

While sometimes employing unorthodox approaches, you are capable of handling large scale undertakings. You assume great responsibility and work long and hard toward completion. Often, especially in the early part of life, there is rigidity or stubbornness, and a tendency to repress feelings. Idealistic, you work for the greater good with a good deal of inner strength and charisma. An extremely capable organizer, but likely to paint with broad strokes rather than detail. You are very aware and intuitive. You are subject to a good deal of nervous tension.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Schatz

Your Birthdate: August 12

Being born on the 12th day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life. The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental. There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, sometimes "couldn't care less" attitude. You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression. Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing. You are energetic and always a good conversationalist. You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too may superficial matters. Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about. You are affectionate and loving - but very sensitive. You are subject to rapid ups and downs.

I am moving soon

I am so excited to be moving soon!
11 days more and we are in what (up to now at least) has been my dream house!!!!

However, there is nothing like moving to create havoc in a marriage. For example: My husband, who has yet to pack a single friggin box, has stated that "We are 1/3 moved".
I, the one that has filled just about every single friggin box, believe that we are 2/3 moved.
I think I hate him when he complains about things and says he feels overwhealmed... in a normal way.

To give him credit though, he has been the one to lug over all the boxes, with help.... while I get to do it all myself plus take care of our breastfeeding 7 month old.

Fair?

I don't think so

Young Boys Wankdorf erection relief

Please
BERN, Switzerland, July 31 (Reuters) - The supporters of Young Boys Bern have not had too much to celebrate in the 19 years since their team last won the Swiss league title.

Long since eclipsed by the likes of FC Basel and Grasshoppers Zurich, the club from the Swiss capital has even got a reputation for enjoying its status as a perennial loser.

But this weekend Young Boys sought to shake off their old image by officially opening the 32,000 Stade de Suisse Wankdorf stadium -- which cost 350 million Swiss francs ($271.3 million) -- with an uncharacteristically flashy homecoming party.

'I'm extremely happy, because I'm convinced this is the stadium from which Young Boys can finally launch themselves back into sporting success,' Swiss president, and Bern native, Samuel Schmid told spectators just before Saturday's show got underway.

Looking on as acrobats, musicians and dancers took to the pitch, the stadium's private investors gladly shared Schmid's enthusiasm while insisting the financial viability of the overall complex does not depend solely on the team's success.

'We have learned a lot from the multifunctional stadium at FC Basel,' stadium board president Benno Oertig told Reuters.

'When you look at the total investment, it's clear that we had to have other sources of income than just the football, which is why we have a supermarket, shops, offices and even a school included in the complex.'

'But of course the performance of the football club will have an important knock-on effect.

'We have calculated for average crowds of around 15,000 per match and are also targeting at least a third place finish in the league this season. That might put some pressure on the club, but you need pressure if you want to succeed.'

Fortunately for team coach Hans-Peter Zaugg, the club's backers also appreciate the need to invest in players.

Working to a budget of about 8.5 million Swiss francs -- surpassed in Swiss football only by FC Basel's estimated 30 million -- Zaugg made eight pre-season signings.

The most notable coup was convincing Switzerland midfielder and former Basel hero Hakan Yakin to join the club.

Having won both their opening away matches to take an early lead at the top of the Swiss standings, Young Boys already look prepared for their season of change.

'The building of the new stadium certainly played a part in my coming here,' Yakin told Reuters on Saturday.

'I'd already seen what a new home can do for a team during my time at Basel -- so now it's up to us players to put in performances that will bring in the supporters.'

Despite the recently appended Stade de Suisse title, the new Wankdorf does not have any official status as a national stadium and will share the staging of international matches with the other new Swiss grounds in Basel and Geneva.

The future hosts for Swiss Cup finals -- previously held exclusively in Bern -- is also still to be decided.

The Bern stadium is, however, already set to stage three group matches at the 2008 European Championships, marking a return to the international stage more than half a century after the old Wankdorf hosted the 1954 World Cup final.

Back in those days, Young Boys had something of a giant-killing reputation in Europe and even reached the semi-finals of the 1959 European Cup.

A second round defeat to Olympic Marseille in this season's Intertoto Cup reminded Bern's supporters that European glory is still a long way off.

Thanks to the new home, though, domestic success no longer looks quite so impossible.

When we come into contact with the other person, our thoughts and actions should express our mind of compassion, even if that person says and does things that are not easy to accept. We practice in this way until we see clearly that our love is not contingent upon the other person being lovable.

I feel so betrayed by you.

Dear ex tenant;

I feel so betrayed by you.


You promised to take care of our house when you moved in, we severely cut your rent too. You said this in “Jesus’ name” also…

I feel so betrayed by you.

However, my husband and I spent a lot of money just making the house even presentable.

I feel so betrayed by you.

I am using this forum to just express the grief I have over being taken advantage by you.

I feel so betrayed by you.

We found you a cheap car, and sold it to you so that you would not have to beholden to the boss that had loaned you his car and charged you too much… we even made it so that you could pay us back in installments…

I feel so betrayed by you.

Granted, if you offered us anything, we accepted it, but we thought you were a friend of sorts… but after all is said and done I have to say…

I feel so betrayed by you.

You are one disgusting person… why?

• You left food, everywhere
• You had broken eggs in the fridge that had baby birds in them
• The grime in the fridge made anything you kept in is unsanitary and unhealthy
• You had so much garbage in the back yard that you had made homes for pack rats
• You painted around you bed
• You used a writing pen to tell you what was behind every door… as if you were an imbecile
• You ruined the house, it smells horrible
• We found your “French tickler” in the alley… that alone was/is disgusting; I wonder if it was your boss or your co worker that threw it away…
• Your boss and co-workers came to help, but they are all disgusted to, I heard them say that.
• you stole our cutain rods
• you haven't made a car paymennt in two months
• you call us to ask about your fans that you left behind, which was your responsibility
  

I feel so betrayed by you.

I will add more if I feel like it, I just want to get on to the part where I feel so betrayed by your disgustingness

I feel so betrayed by you.

Now… I don’t even think you have any shame; this is not how you lived when you first moved in… so what am I left to think:

I feel so betrayed by you.

You, *freak*, are a tweaker. That rumor came to us as we were presented with the opportunity to sell the house. You call your boss the *freak*, when it is really you.

I feel so betrayed by you.

I denied it, but I had not seen how you lived, I went on the assumption that you were as clean and spotless as you used to be.

I feel so betrayed by you.

I am just feeling so betrayed by you. I have gone through moments where I curse you.

I feel so betrayed by you.

But I have to know that your God is ashamed of you, your ancestors, your grandma that you fondly talked about, them… they are watching you from their place in heaven and looking upon you with disgust… your actions, are what the road to hell is paved with!

I feel so betrayed by you.
