Thinking of you.

I'm so very sorry!!


Try and remember that s/he is going to a better place, and be free from suffering.

right now I'm still telling myself that there's still a tiny chance that he'll be fine.
clinging to hope until the end

Tumblr actually boggles my mind. Also, my laptop finds it really difficult to cope with, not sure why. And I don't care enough to try and fix it.

I would actually love to see you climb into a box. I think I found that statement far too amusing.

Where are you going again now!? Lol. I'm glad your mum took it well. You must be relieved about that.

It's up to you and Isa if you wanna expand. That could be cool. If I were you though, I wouldn't want the extra work and possibly actually having to moderate. But I'm really lazy.

One, day... if you find a suitable box... I'm sure I can oblige

I'm going to Argentina and then I'll travel around S America for a couple of months.. I do need to find out whether I need to sort out visa's etc though? I should prob go and look into that..... I have a valid visa's for other countries, but that doesn't help me lol

Btw.. if anyone knows any good bars (straight... I'll be with a load of bikers) in Buenos Aries, please let me know. The only job I have been entrusted with this trip is to organise the party. Yep, they do know me too well.

I'll let Isa decide then I'm very indecisive...

I want your life. Lol.

I'll start box hunting now then.

You're so mean. I can't concentrate on things like that when I have someone on the phone telling me the wind blew their roof off. Lmao.

I recently bought a book called Ammonite on my Kindle but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I also have the Girl With 'blah, blah, blah' books on there which I haven't actually read either. All I've done recently is watch TV.

What do you plan on reading later?

I'm not mean.

The book I brought is "New Grammar of Contemporary Portuguese". Sounds like fun, right?

I should probably change that and make this place more accessible... but I guess if I do that I might actually have to do some sort of moderating... and that sounds a bit like work lol. What do you guys think? Should we try and make this thing more public?

Nah... I like the way it is now.

I was just joking!

Uh... I'm fascinated by language so I'd probably be into it.

Dina, hugs and thoughts...

I just had a 30 minute conversation with this Scottish lady. By conversation I actually mean she was ranting at me. Anyway, I think I only understood about 20% of what she said. Lol. If you want me to help you then please speak coherently... Jeez.

I have received news like this more times then I'd like. My thoughts are with you.

You don't need a visa to come to Brazil if you are staying less than 90 days.

Awesome! Just checked and it's the same for Argentina, Chile and Uruguay so I'm a happy little camper! lol

It's pretty good yeah but it has it's pro's and con's believe me.

I would just try to ignore the cons as much as possible. But yeah, I can imagine.

So Scottish people are hard to understand for you? I've only met 2 and I had trouble understanding the accent but I figured that was because it was a different accent than mine in general. Would my accent be hard to understand in other English speaking countries? I've never really thought about that. Hmmm....

Me after this phone call I just got

Stupid people.

Diiiiiiiina!!!

Spent $200 on ties in the last two hours. Like a boss, a boss with a recently developed tie fetish.

I totally understand! I had to spend 5 minutes explaining to a guy today that if he spent $32.66 and paid with $40 that his change would be $7.34. He didn't understand why he didn't have more than $7 in bills in his hand. I sort of wanted to punch him.

Yes, they're mostly difficult to understand. Especially on the phone. But in all honesty, and this will sound horrible, it depends how 'common' they are. Lol.

LOL! People are so freaking stupid!!

I work at an electronics store, can you guess what the most common(and stupid) question I answer on the phone is?

I have a tendency to run away from stuff. I do try to ignore the cons, and I do quite well at that.

You'd be fine... you don't have a strong accent. . I don't either.. if I did have a scouse accent I doubt you would have understood a word I was saying lol

People like that irritate the hell out of me... I just don't get it? I never flip out at people for stuff like that, and I don't understand why anyone else would?

How do I call people!

I'm glad. I think I have a fairly flat accent but I talk fast which can get me into trouble.
