There are so many things that I could say to this...just can't pick :D




Sabre: Nice picture! :) *hug*

@Vivien:
Allow me . . .

So, Mr Sleep, I hope you had pants to go with your outfit.

Ack! Ties! I can't stand ties, they make me feel like I'm choking.
**Hopes Georgeous doesn't read this and sadistically force him to wear a tie**

Well, you are an odd one so they'd probably sound complementary to you :D

What ever gave you the notion i was odd ;) Everything is a complement in it's own way, it is just down to interpretation ;)

I am many, many things right now. :)

Getting close to moving beyond being frustrated with my job to actually looking for another job...
Maybe I should start a posting asking for help with my resume ;)

Other than that pretty good :) How are you? :)

I would be more than happy to help, i have always been good at CV's :cool: The trick is to be speicifc to the job one is looking for, an employer hates nothing more than a person who seems to excessively diversify. Always be as specific as you can be :) Also make you application something different, far to many applications and CV's are exactly the same and uninteresting to the employer ;)

:) I am okay, i have been a little bit tired of late; i am not sure why. I think i need to start doing my stretches again, but i just keep forgetting to do them :o

Do you wear a tie while doing these 'stretches'? :D


My problem is not in finding a job, it's in finding a pleasant job :) So hard to know exactly what a job will be like...

What are you good at? Perhaps you should go for something in the therapy deparment, like massages? :)

Okay, well I have a four year degree in 'The Classics' (ancient Greek, it's a long story).

On second thought, I'll pm you (There could be company spies who will then beat me for my disloyalty) ;)

I'm pretty sure there are UK retailers of that kind of thing.
Although if they check to see if you're responsible enough to sell a sword to, you're probably screwed :p

Isn't there a 2-week waiting period before any great sword can be purchased, and don't they have to run a background check? :p

Remember: "If catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults!" :D

A bit late to respond, but better late then never.

Well, I don't like going to large social gathering and that sort of things, so I don't think I'll enjoy it as much as you did.

I agree that it does look good, but it's a pain getting ready for school in to morning, especially when you woke up late. Also, it feels really weird when we have casual days - no uniform, for fund raising - since you're used to seeing everyone wearing the same thing (although there are small variations).

I'm not a big fan of large soial gatherings either, but I really enjoyed it. However, the whole point is to have fun, so if you don't think you would then don't go. :)

Beware, Viv's hugs are addictive! ;) She's already enslaved Beldin, and came close to getting me too.
