I'm BORED as heck so I am just going to talk for a while , ok :)

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

So I am I just going to shoot off some random thoughts from my mind :

- Lucky me I get to watch and curse the SOTU during my lunch break tomorrow night . Everytime Bush makes a speech during my work hours , all I hear around me is " WTF is that idiot talking about now ? " - and these comments come from the last people who I thought hated Bush .
- I saw a " Kerry/Edwards " bumper sticker on someone's car the other day . I smiled . The hope is still alive .
- I have CNN International on in the background because I miss it from when I lived in Germany .
- I have the night off from work because I requested it and I don't know what to do with myself .I woke up early this morning to clean the house . And I came up with a revelation : I might be addicted to PineSol .
- I shop at Walmart :hide:
- I think if you stuck everyone in the GD into one room , the National Guard would have to be called in . But the call would go unanswered because thanks to Shrub , they are all in Iraq .
- I wonder if the above random will get this thread locked .
- When I was a kid , I remember wanting to be a foreign news reporter for ABC or some other news agency . My mom says I would be a good reporter because I like to talk . The news is not same without the likes of Peter Jennings in my opinion .
- Anybody but Brazil for the World Cup 2006 Champions :hide:
- Anybody but Duke in college basketball (I went to NC State snicker) :hide:
- I will never ever understand the point of the sport,Curling
- I am currently working on 3 different careers at the same time : music , fashion , and college (Hummanities and continuing my knowledge of the German language) - oh yeah I also work 40+ hours a week - Sleep ? - I don't know what that is .
- I bet nobody here would like to meet me because , I don't know - I am not popular ;)
- Manchmal traume ich auf Deustch . Translated : Sometimes I dream in German .
- I love it when people think they know what I am all about when they first meet me , because I prove them wrong everytime .
- Duran Duran is my favorite band . If you laugh I shall hunt you down while playing " Hungry Like The Wolf " in my iPod .
- I pray that by the time I post this , the DU is back to normal levels .
- At least 2 people better respond or read this thread . I feel lonely when they don't .
- Yes the above statement was a pity plea ;)
- I must be part Vampire , because I don't sleep at night . I am such a nightowl . I don't go to bed until at least 4 am on a good night .
- Growing up I never looked at the color of people's skin . I am 25 years old and I still don't . Its just how I am .
- I did'nt like the person I was until 5 years ago . I did'nt think I would make it to the age of 21 when I was going through my personal hell at the age of 19 . My demons have left me and I have healed .I will be 26 in August , I am the Queen of the World :)
- My boyfriend knows what the Spear of Destiny is , now to me thats cool as hell ! When we got into this topic of discussion I was estatic .This was the sign of a perfect match :) Not many people know what the Spear of Destiny is . Do you ?

Now I wish everyone to enjoy their week and no matter what BS goes down in the world , just remember the fight goes on and one day , victory shall be ours :)

EDIT : I think gosh , that MrsGrumpy is swell :hi:

And I finally found something to do , I need to fix the clasp on my Chakra necklace to ward off the bad karma at work tomorrow :)

1. Hi there

That was very random. I have Rio stuck in my head now. :hi:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

5. Rio is one of my favorite songs .

In fact its the ringtone on my cellphone - I actually wait a while to answer the phone because I like the song so much ;)

[xmas74]

2. I love the smell of PineSol.

I shop at Walmart because they are the only game in my town.
I agree-anyone but Duke in college basketball. I love of hating Duke began back in the days of Laettner and has never let up.
I love Duran Duran and had posters of John Taylor on my bedroom wall growing up.
And I've love to meet you.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

6. John Taylor is just gorg-eous .

Not to mention a kick ass bass player . But damn he is just gorgeous .

I kid you not , I used to be a Duke fan back in the Laettner days . I was around 8 years old then . I changed over once I got to middle school - these days I am more Wolfpack or Tarheels . Whoever is playing that day - but anybody but DOOK .

[xmas74]

8. I used to wear a shirt that said

on the front "Duke Sucks". On the back it said "Laettner Swallows".
He was hot but I really hated him for some reason.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

10. I used to have a crush on him .

Thats why I liked Duke . And now that I think of it , when he left was the reason why I stopped liking DOOK .

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. You forgot the part where you think...

Gosh, that MrsG is swell...;)
Oh, and the Spear of Destiny was (supposedly) used to pierce Jesus' side during the Passion. Do I win? I'm a good Catholic girl.
Thanks for mind melding. :hi:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

7. Yes you win .

And everyone knows you are swell LOL :hi:

[LynzM]

4. Ich traume nicht mehr auf Deutsch :(

When I lived there, I did, and for a while after I get back, but no longer. That makes me sad. But I'm taking another German class in the fall, so hopefully that'll come back some. I know what you mean about school and work at the same time, and I have a kiddo. Makes for a crazy life, but I kinda like it that way :)

Glad to hear that you like who you are, now... it's a nice realization, when that happens!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

9. The knowledge of the German language ...

is something that I don't ever want to lose . I speak it whenever I can - even to people who don't know what I am saying . I worked hard to learn and it would be in vain to just forget it . Yeah doing so much life crazy but I know that one day , all this hard work will pay off into something good :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Haben Sie ein bleischtift??

That's about the extent of it for me...but at least I'll always be able to get something to write with. ;)

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

12. Ja Ich habe ein .

LOL - Its more than what most people can say .

[LynzM]

14. Also, wir koennen natuerlich auf Deutsch reden...

Auch mit MissHoneyChurch, Kellanved, Call Me Wesley, und Heidi, am mindestens! Es gibt noch mehr, aber ich kann alle im Moment nicht errinern...

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

15. Herr Scorpio auch .

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

13. Update : My sleep schedule is out of wack .

So instead of talking , now I can't sleep . Oh dear please let me get some sleep .

[Hissyspit]

17. I don't go to sleep until 4 a.m. either. All the good movies on TV are on

after midnight.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

19. I should be asleep by 3 am EST .

Which is less than 30 minutes and counting .

[Hissyspit]

21. Can you do something repetitive while lying in bed?

(no, not that!) Repetition can tend to make one drowsy.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

23. LOL !

Yes often times I sing myself to sleep .

[Hissyspit]

25. Are you in NC? I am.

Near Fayetteville/Fort Bragg.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

27. Yep I am in the Piedmont

Right in the Triad :hi:

[Hissyspit]

30. I think we may have talked about this before. I go up to Greensboro

/HighPoint all the time. My best friends are there. We all went to UNCG.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

31. I should have went to UNCG .

I was too chicken to audition for their music school . I was accepted but no , I wanted out of Greensboro ASAP LOL . I was 17 at the time - I did'nt know any better . Instead I ran to Raleigh and went through one year of NC State . Now I want to go to UNCG or either Guilford College - at least I know better now lol .

[Hissyspit]

33. Guilford is Quaker - progressive, but so is UNCG in its own ways.

I don't know much about their music departments.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

35. I wanted to change from Politcal Science into Hummanities .

[Hissyspit]

37. I AM off to bed now. I am actually drowsy now. Talk to you later. n/t

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

39. I am sleep too . Good night :)

[Heidi]

16. One small point about reporters.

Good reporters listen more than they talk, and then they report accurately on what they heard. In any event, I think you'd be a good reporter. :pals:

[Hissyspit]

18. One small point about ABC anchors specifically:

As Olbermann talked about yesterday. Tragic things tend to happen to all of them. Frank Reynolds, Max Robinson, Peter Jennings, and Bob Woodruff. It was years after Max Robinson died that I found out what happened (AIDS).

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

20. True but I tended to like the reporters from that network .

I don't know why .

[Hissyspit]

24. They tended to be good and objective. Max Robinson was the first

African-American anchor. He was a hero of mine. I liked both Frank Reynolds and Peter Jennings, too, so I know what you mean.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

29. Since I am never home at 6:30 PM EST due to work hours

I don't get to see the network news like I did when I was younger .I missed out on Jennings' last years due to the fact that I lived abroad and once I came home , my job hours were in the way of being able to watch the news . But I really enjoyed Peter Jennings' ABC 2000 - New Years 2000 show .

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Guten Morgen

at least for me :)

you know you can always talk German to me. Or write for that matter. I like that you keep speaking it, that is what I do with my English. Reading, speaking, writing, listening. Helps a lot :)

:hi:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

26. Ich bestelle Deustche Buecher um mehr zu lernen .

Nur weil ich habe nicht's anders zu tun am Mahlzeit bei meiner Arbeit . Ich denke mein Deutsch ist besser jetzt dann es war wenn ich in Deustchland lebte .

[MissHoneychurch]

28. Ich lese auch viele englische Bücher

es gibt eine englische Buchhandlung hier, die bekommt jede Menge Geld von mir :)

Do you have the chance to watch movies on DVDs in German?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

34. Oh yeah I have digital cable and sometimes there are German movies .

A while ago there was one movie from the 1950s I believe and it had the old STRONG German - the kind that I liked . " Das Boot " which is a classic comes on from time to time . One night my little brother left his TV on when he went to sleep and I knew that I heard German coming from somewhere . I thought I was hearing things . It was " Das Boot " .

In December I was up at 5 am and there I was flipping through the channels and I found the movie " Rosenstrasse " about the group of German women who fought and protested for the release of their Jewish husbands who were taken prisoner in Berlin during World War II . I really enjoyed this movie because it was in all German (I did'nt bother to read the English subtitles) , it was filmed in Germany (all the memories of my time living there came back to me and calmed me down) - and the story of the women who stood there day after day waiting for their husbands to come back . It also may me think because of my past and current involvements in interracial relationships , how much I would fight for the one I loved as these strong women did .

Of course Lola Rennt has been played . I have never watched it though - if I catch it on again I will .

I just don't want to EVER forget any German whatsoever :) I never thought I would ever go to Germany , I thought maybe England or France first - but now I consider Germany mein zweite Heimat ;) :)

[MissHoneychurch]

38. You definitely should watch Lola rennt

great movie.

Do you know that the German movie "Die letzten Tage der Sophie Scholl" got nominated for best foreign movie at the Oscars? YAY. I saw that movie. Very impressive. I hope it wins. It deserves an Oscar.

I know how you feel when you say Germany ist deine zweite Heimat. I feel the same about the U.S. Funny, isn't it?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

40. I miss it a lot . I will probably dream about it tonight LOL .

Guten morgen MissHoneyChurch - Ich wuensche an dir a ein Gute Tag - Ich muss jetzt ins Bett gehen . Ich bin sehr muede :)

[nemo137]

32. Good for you. I'm also in the ABB '06 club

I'd love to see America win one, but part of me doesn't think we deserve it.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

36. But if we did , oh man - can you just hear the international soccer press

Oh man if we when I have LOTS Of friends in Germany to gloat too - sigh . I was in Germany when the World Cup 2002 was taking place and I just knew that Team USA were going to be Germany - USA went so far that year .

[nemo137]

42. they'd bitch up a storm

I still like to remind Kiwis that we're the reigning Olympic Rugby champs (yeah, 1932 was the last time rugby was an Olympic sport. So what?).

[lildreamer316]

41. Want some remixes?

Remember hubby is a Dj and also we hunt down killer 80s remixes for fun. We have several Duran ones (yes using the original songs). Let me know and I will put together a cd for ya..we live close so shipping wouldn't be prohiative.
Sorry; my mother went to Duke. We'll have to argue on that one.
