In a way I'm glad I didn't come. It would have been difficult enough, but to get there and not do much? ><;;
I think once you've got the hang of maneouvring in general the rest come easier. I've mastered the parallel park pretty quickly. I'm hoping to take the test really soon (like... mid-July would be good :P)! But need to do this d**n awful theory... D< ARGH.

Thanks, Izy. :) And hope you guys have a good time... wherever you're at. xD;;
Btw, I passed the test! I got 43 out of 50, Kat... ON THE MARK! xDD;; And 56 or something for the hazards. I never finished revising the theory... I'm so lucky. :D I'm going to ask Martyn when I can book my driving test tomorrow.
Worst thing, though! I didn't realise I needed that green paper thing as well as my licence - just thought it was licence and passport (for God's sake, it was really confusing and I'm a moron! xD) and got there and he was like, Uh... you need the other half. I was like, O________O. NOOOOOOO!!!
Basically, got my parents to go home and managed to get back in time to take it. Lol. But Gods that was traumatising, hahaa... I always make things difficult. Story of my life. ^^;;
EDIT: Noooo!!! Dx I can't find the Ravenclaw Quidditch stats for the match! I swear Izy sent me them! Oh wait. She didn't. She did show me them but she didn't send me them... right?
Anyway, Izy, could you send me them when you get back? That would very much helpful, just to give me some time to get the team together. I think holding two matches in the space of a month preferably will be stressful indeed! Kat, if you have could you send them to me, please, and say so, since I'm sure you'll probably see this before Izy, lol.

Well, we're hooooome (well, I am, I assume Izy also is  ) and had a really nice week  . We'll tell you all about it once we see you, I expect. Congrats on passing . That really is lucky! Have you booked your practical test yet? I can imagine the panic with the paper bit though! Now we have to sort Quidditch. And I have to sort out Charms, urgh. Ah well. |

I've booked it for 6th August. :) I'm waiting for confirmation then I'll tell Martyn. He's going away for two weeks on the 7th, and that was the only date before then. ><

Viv, while we were away I managed to get Taylor Swift's CD 'Fearless', which I think has some songs that you like on it, and the entire collection of Simon & Garfunkel songs, so if you want to borrow then let me know.

Post by Ariane Chan on Jul 1, 2009 18:56:15 GMT
:D Ooo yay! Yes please! I've heard all of Taylor's songs but I own none of them, so it would be much appreciated. Ditto for S&G. ^^

Oky dokes!  Also, I'm clearing out all the stuff round my computer and I have an awful lot of free CDs (from newspapers and so on), mostly which my granny hasn't wanted and has dumped on me. I'm looking for a way to recycle them, and I'll probably send them off to a company that crushes them for recycling. I would have to pay for postage, but my mum said when I asked her that she didn't think it'd cost too much. CDs don't decompose in landfill! So if either of you have any CDs (or DVDs) in the same category - that you don't want and charities can't sell because they were free - then let me know and I'll see about adding them to the pile that I'll probably end up sending off to be 'granulated'. Also, in fact if you have any old CDs/DVDs/computer games that you don't want and a charity could sell, I'll probably be taking some to the Oxfam in Chorlton (if we don't get a collection bag any time soon) and I'd be prepared to take yours too. Finally, does anyone want a CD called 'The R&B Collection'? Haha. I will email Jayne and ask her if she would like, otherwise that'll be going to charity too. |

Ooo, okies. I do have quite a few CDs. It is certainly time for a clear-out, what with going to uni (hopefully). When do you want them by?
And no thanks. xD I'm afraid RnB ain't my kinda thing. I'm sure Jayne will appreciate it much more than me. ;)

As soon as you have time to start clearing out, do. I can come by and pick them up if you've got time for a chat as well. I spent some of the long car journeys thinking 'bout Jez and I've decided that it's possible not to break him irrepairably, which I wasn't prepared to do, without imposing on Ariane. So I want to discuss! Hehe and I emailed Jayne just before actually. *grin* |

Indeed! Drop by mine one day and we can 'hang out'. xD The thought of me and you 'hanging out' does amuse me... I'm easily amused. xD;; We do have quite a bit to discuss. And perhaps we can write it down so I don't forget it! ;) I have plenty of time. I'm popping into School tomorrow because apparently it's house plays and I'd like to see those, however awful they are, hahaa. It's Ken's last day as well, he'll be finishing around 12. Um... nothing planned this weekend, I don't think. Chinese School has ended.
I've got Sims 3 now, which is keeping me busy. :D You need to come sample it!

I've been into school today for a piano lesson. It was Citizenship Day, so the school was awfully quiet and younger years were waltzing about in their own clothes... I'm sure that always makes them less considerate of other people!
Anyhow, Mr Leach says that I'm no longer a liability! ie. that he's confident I'll pass now. Hehe. Heh. I knew that he wasn't so sure about entering me. *grin* Anyhow. Some way to go yet... like scales... eeep!
Let me know when you're done sorting out the CDs then. I'm still doing mine...

Yup. That was long. xD;;
Keep in mind I don't really get half of this stuff, lol.
True Neutral Human Bard (2nd Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength- 10
Dexterity- 14
Constitution- 11
Intelligence- 14
Wisdom- 14
Charisma- 13
Alignment:
True Neutral- A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.
Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Class:
Bards- Bards often serve as negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies. They love to accompany heroes (and villains) to witness heroic (or villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A bard casts arcane spells without any advance preparation, much like a sorcerer. Bards also share some specialized skills with rogues, and their knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. A high Charisma score allows a bard to cast high-level spells.
Sounds about right... ^^;;

Izy, I have a question concerning Quidditch... I really need to know this, considering the fact that Trinity is now playing Beater and I'm meant to be taking over at some point!
Basically, I still don't get the 12-hour rule for Beaters... *laughs apologetically* I'm sorry, but could you explain it here for me again and I'll save it somewhere? xD;;
