Good Morning DU!

[BlondieK143]

How is everyone today? I'm muuuuch better! Didn't take those vitamins yesterday and I actually forced myself to eat so YAY! :) On the bad side, my sort-of-sort-of-not boyfriend doesn't get to come in town this weekend and he's going into the field Tuesday for 12 days! 12 days! So basically, this is gonna suck! :(


How are you???

[MichaelUK]

6. Good Morning by 3 minutes

It's a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me (yeah) ...oooohohohohohhoooo... and I'm feelin' good.

Finished my last exam yesturday. Had a cold for last few days, feeling better now...
Life is looking good.

How you doin'? Sorry to hear you've been ill.

:hug:

[tsakshaug]

7. Final - Final exam?

Are you all done with schooling?

[MichaelUK]

8. Yep

As of yesturday, that's it. I'm finished with University.

Unless I get a 2:1, in which case I'm studying at Liverpool for another year.

[tsakshaug]

13. I graduated last week

with my final degree.
unless I go for the PhD

[Political_Junkie]

15. Congrats to both of you on finishing your schooling.

:toast:

[MichaelUK]

21. Thank you

much :toast: planned for this weekend as well!

[Guy_Montag]

22. what did you both study?

Congrats - I've been watching the poor souls waiting outside my building for their exams, and sniggering. I hope I never have to go through that again.

[MichaelUK]

24. Psychology

I am now (subject to passing of exams) MichaelUK MA (hons)

How sweet is that!!!

[Guy_Montag]

28. what are you going to do now?

Any plans for the summer & in the longer term?

[MichaelUK]

30. Summer is planned to mid-july

with graduation, and brief sojurns in Florence and Aldernay. After that, a job (?) in either a bar or resturant, or something and then, hopefully, a bit more study at Liverpool on an MSc, and possibly PhD

[Guy_Montag]

31. where are you from?

& why liverpool for gods' sake? You'll end up on bricks!

[MichaelUK]

33. Currently studying in Aberdeen

but family is from Midlands, nr Rugby.
And Liverpool because it's the only course of it's kind in the world (unless you can get accepted into the FBI)

[Guy_Montag]

34. what's the course?

some sort of criminal psychology I guess.

[MichaelUK]

36. Investigative psychology

www.i-psy.com/index

more science and stat based than other "criminal psyc" courses.

[BlondieK143]

12. Hey Hey!

Where ya been? Missed ya around here! :hug:

Glad to hear you're feeling better and thanks for the thoughts.

Congrats on the exam! Hope all went well! :hug:

[MichaelUK]

20. Been revising...

Exams weren't exacactly fun. But hey, now the partying begins.

Although my father's irritating me at the moment. My sister has purloined my car (since I'm not around to drive it) so my father wants to buy me a new car (MG Bee 2, costing around £1500) for over the summer so I can drive myself about the country lanes where I live.

Only problem is that he's recently lost his job and is still looking for a new one. So I told my parents that, since money is short, I don't want the car and will find my own way around thank you very much.

But my father's now pissed off with me because I think that he thinks I'm being rude by rejecting his gift. So summer will now be a political wrangle combined with trying to tell my father I don't want his gifts but I do want £4500 to study for a year on an MSc course in Liverpool.

But apart from that, I'm fine. How are you? How's the soldier? Had to look for any bombs lately?

[BlondieK143]

25. Damned if you do sorta thing?

That sucks, but hopefully your dad will realize that studying that course would benefit you more than a car. Maybe he'll just give you the money to help you out? :shrug:

Either way, good luck with it. And sorry to hear that he lost his job. Hope he's able to find something soon!

Glad to hear that you're okay. I'm doing pretty good, just trying to keep myself occupied. The soldier's fine. He was in the field for three long days and he is unable to come in this weekend. :( On Tuesday he leaves for the field for 12 more days with no contact. *sniff* I won't get to see him until June 20th, I think. These things suck!

[MichaelUK]

29. Absence makes the heart grow fonder

For example, I haven't been on DU for a good few days, and I started getting withdrawal symptoms. I guess I just missed talking to attractive women.

But never mind... on June 20th I guess you can both go on maneuvers and you might even be able to fire his cannon.

[BlondieK143]

32. Attractive?

Oh I know you're adding MOI to that list! (kidding)

If it makes you feel better, I've been having withdrawls from my studious UK buddy. :D

And believe me, there are maneuvers I'm not so sure that he's ready for yet! Psh. If that fonder thing is true, my heart must've grown three sizes already. :eyes:

[MichaelUK]

35. Soldier, trapped in field with his unit

for 12 days without recourse to a sexy, politically active, intelligent blonde. And you think he won't be ready for the old flank-attack maneuver?

Nah, he'll be up for it... :-)

[BlondieK143]

37. You're almost correct.

A blondish burnett is more like it. :D And he could probably care less about the politicalness (not that I'd want to discuss politics at the same time I'm helping him to find his unit :shrug:)

I'm just scared he's going to forget about me. lol

[MichaelUK]

38. Men don't have that short a memory

unless it's about anniversaries or birthdays, or stuff like that.
Men normally remember women that they want to see again, and it sounds like he wants to see you again. Especially when they're firing guns...remember, the whole army think is one great big phallus replacement exercise.

There ain't nothing better than taking aim and letting that big ol' puppy fire it's shots!

And, true, politics is not probably the best thing to talk about ("oh yeah, that feels good. mmmm...when do you think Rummy's going to be fired?...oh, a bit to the left...)

.... yeessh, that's an image....

anyway....
but it's important to have good pillow talk. after all, a man will only be interested in a woman as long as the sex is interesting. After that, the woman has to be interesting too. So, frankly, you're set!!

[BlondieK143]

39. Awww, thanks!

You've made me feel MUCH better.

And I'm sure the steamy phone conversations help too? :D

Wow, either that was too much information or a sad self-realization that I've had to resort to phone umm.... talking? *hides in the corner*

[MichaelUK]

40. What are you talking about?

Phone *talking* is great!

There's an old proverb - the perfect wife/woman is a princess in public, a goddess in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom. Believe me, being able to talk dirty down a telephone is a good sign - it show's you're sexually active and aware and know what YOU want.

Kudos to you

:hug:

[BlondieK143]

42. *shiver*

Okay, cold shower anyone? :D

Boy you've just made me feel all kinds of better this morning! :hug:

Anything I can do for YOU?

[MichaelUK]

44. Probably

But I'm the kind of guy who like to leave it up to the woman's imagination. Shows how much she knows me and trusts me if I let her do something that will make me... happy.

But I'm glad I made you feel better.

[BlondieK143]

46. hehe

I can't even comment to that one. :spank:


Thank you again, I was actually pretty bummed until now!

[MichaelUK]

49. Haha!!

Now that (in respect to :spank:) is what I'm talking about.

Damn, I wanna be in the US military.

[BlondieK143]

51. Hmmm...

Why do you want to be in the military again? :)

[MichaelUK]

54. If women like you end up dating military guys

then I'm willing to forget all my reservations about having a job which involves training to kill someone, and following orders blindly from idiots.

However, I think I'll probably stick to investigating the behaviour of criminals. Less likely to get me in the dock of The Hague.

Not that I'm attacking your soldier friend. I just don't agree with the need for an army...I understand the need, but I guess I'm a conscious objector.

[BlondieK143]

58. Trust me..

If this one doesn't work out, I'm thinking of hitting up on the men of DU. :D

And I understand what you mean about the army. I don't completely agree with everything about it, but it's about giving him my support. He does/puts up with more shit than I would be able to. It's all pretty much about me making him comfortable and him having as little stress from a relationship as possible until he's shipped out again. :shrug: Sometimes I think I'm too giving.

[MichaelUK]

62. No, not too giving

Just a really good person.
:hug:

Keep well.

[BlondieK143]

65. Awwww!

Thank you, and the same to you, seriously. You seem like a reallly nice guy. Any girl would be lucky to have you!

:hug: Have a great day!

[cleofus1]

14. hey there

glad your feeling better! Just finished my walk and all is well!

[BlondieK143]

16. Hey!

Thank you! How far did you do this morning? Good for you! :D

[cleofus1]

19. did the usual 4 miles...

Now I get to play guitar for a little bit...

[BlondieK143]

26. Awesome!

Way to go! :hug:

Well get off of here and play!

[Earth_First]

23. GOOD MORNING BLONDIE!

another day, another dollar...

[BlondieK143]

27. :)

Hope it's a good day for ya, maybe you'll find two! ;)

[Champ]

41. That's too bad

A little shaken, just woke up from a wierd dream but I'm doing good. It's good to see you. :hi:

[BlondieK143]

43. Not too bad??

It sucks!

I'm sorry, what was your dream about? Good to see you too! :hug:

[Champ]

45. Yeah It does

Believe me I know, it sucks especially when you may not see that person again.

The dream wasn't wierd but they way it ended was wierd, not sure if you want to hear it, but aw here it goes. I'm going to cut the chase, I was on a basketball team for somebody, hell I don't even know. So I start to catch fire and start making shot after shot, I start getting the other team frustraited. So after I made another shot as I am jogging to the other side of the court one of the opposing players on the other team pulls out a gun and shoots me in the back of the leg, what is wierd is when that bullet hit my leg that same second I got a charlie horse in my leg which woke me up. So is there anything I can do for you? :hug:

[BlondieK143]

47. WHAT?!?!?!

Don't say that! I WILL see him again! Sheesh! Are you trying to make me feel worse????

That sucks, charlie horses bite.

[Champ]

52. Absolutely not

I was trying to say I know how you feel and when I was apart from someone I really cared about it hurt very much for me because there was a 99.9% chance I would probaly never see that person again. I hope you see him again and I hope your happy with him. Please understand I definately will never try to make you feel worse.

[BlondieK143]

53. Don't worry about it.

I know, but I'm pretty sensitive right now and I took it the wrong way.

I'm sorry that things didn't turn out for you, but I'm sure that girl for you is waiting patiently.

[Champ]

56. Don't worry about it

Sometimes it's easy to take what someone says the wrong way in plain text because everything is so.... bleh(can't think of anything else to say) and sometimes the smilies exaggeratte the emotion behind a post. I don't know if this is making any sense. :) I don't really know, maybe it wasn't meant to be. So anything fun or exciting going on today?

[BlondieK143]

59. Not really.

Have to work twice and have to clean. That's about it. You?

[Champ]

63. I'm going to kill myself(not literally)

I'm just in the mood to be active today so I'm going use the energy I have and just run, workout, swim, run some more, routes, anything I can do. I hope I am sore tomorrow, if not I didn't work hard enough. I'm really sorry about not being able to see him this weekend, when is the next time you might be able to?

[BlondieK143]

66. Be careful!

Don't work yourself too hard. :D

June 20th hopefully!

[Champ]

68. If I do....

I'll just feel better, sore but I'll feel better. So many choices... I'm pretty much decided on the pants but not sure what kind of shirt to wear, or should I just go out nekkid? :shrug: I hope it works out, long distance is hard. The jobs that require people to be away from alot usually have the higher divorce rates and then usually isn't because of the people. It's having to deal with the stress of always being away from your spouse. Like I said I hope it works out. :hug:

[BlondieK143]

69. The whole effin country is a big divorce rate!

Not going off on you in general - but 49% (or close to it) of marriages end in divorce. I'm soooo sick of hearing these dadblamin things! Why, for once, can we not all be positive about something?!?! Why not work 4 times as hard to make every EFFORT known to man to not let it end up that way? Why can't, for even ONE small second, America PRETEND that fairytale happy endings DO exist?? For the love of ALL that is HOLY! I just want to have my moment without worrying about everything else! I want to be kissed like I'm the only thing that matters. Wait, HE does that. WHY CAN'T I ENJOY IT WITHOUT HAVING TO THINK OF HOW HARD IT WILL BE AND HOW MUCH EVERYTHING IS WORKING AGAINST US?!?!?!?

*steps off soapbox*

:hug: I'm walking away from this now.

[Champ]

70. You know what?

You nailed my exact thoughts on the subject down to a T. I don't what else to say because you nailed it. well... I just want someone I really care about and vice versa to spend both the good times and bad times together because either way they are much more enjoyable when someone cares about you. I don't know, maybe it's cause I grew up wondering who the hell cares?

[BlondieK143]

71. It's because we know nothing different.

We're so adapt to hearing all the negative in the world that it's hard for us to accept the good when it DOES come along.

:shrug:

[Champ]

73. That makes sense

You see, if I do marry and maybe have kids I want to give them something I never had. A happy home and 2 parents that are always there for them. *sigh* I'm just tired of endless struggle you know what I mean? Thank you for talking to me, I feel somewhat better. :hug:

[BlondieK143]

75. No problem.

I want the same exact things. It takes work, but it also takes believing that it CAN happen. :hug: Gotta run before long. Have a good day.

[Champ]

76. Alright :)

I hope you have a good day as well. :bye:

[Brewman_Jax]

48. G'day, Blondie!

Glad to see that you're up and about again. Sorry to hear that your man is going to be incommunicado for almost 2 weeks.

[BlondieK143]

50. Hey Hey!

Thanks for the Coke! How are you this morning?!?

:hug: Guess that just means you'll have to occupy my time?

[Brewman_Jax]

55. Looking forward to the long weekend

:thumbsup: A nice free day coming up, and another hot weekend. What happened to spring?

[BlondieK143]

60. Hell yeah!

Long weekends rock! :)

I don't know. :shrug: That's what I've been asking myself! We had some really bad storms here yesterday - a few tornadoes touched down about 20 minutes away from me. Don't know what mother nature is thinking.

[Brewman_Jax]

64. How have the workouts been going?

That long weekend in the woods is coming up very soon.

[BlondieK143]

67. Ha. They're nonexistent right now.

Since I haven't been feeling well, all I did yesterday was sleep. But maybe I'll get my butt into gear today? :D

I know, I know. And I'm not getting any closer to winning the challenge. :(

[Brewman_Jax]

72. You caahn do eet, Waterboy!

Sounding like a trainer, "Get that butt in gear and go! go! go!"

[BlondieK143]

74. That's what I need.

A PeRsOnAl trainer! I'd pay good? :D

[johnnie]

57. Good Morning!

I feel good this morning so I thought I would jump in the thread and say good morning to you. The weekend is almost here, it's sunny and I got enough sleep finally. It's gonna be a good day (unless someone screws with me B-) )

[BlondieK143]

61. hehe

Glad you stopped by!

Hope that you have a WONDERFUL day! :hug:
