Heh, we had a Spring day today. After a week of rain
So maybe it will be coming your way soon too!

I should be off to Confirmation class in 10 minutes, but I don't really feel up to it. School can be draining. We had to do lots of self-evaluating today, which is okay, but I don't like the sharing part, so I have to word my responses carefully. And then there's the emotional responses of others. Heavy, but necessary I suppose.

It is yet to be proven that reponding to other peoples' emotions, even correctly, has any value, at all.

It's one of the unquestioned assumptions of nice people, but it's not science.

Oh, I meant your own response to your evaluation. We did some sort of game first in which you had to 'award' people with appropriate character traits and some people got traits they didn't want, or did want. After that you had to discuss why you did(n't) want it and why.
Lots of bully-stories, mental health stories, etc. came up.

And no, it's not science, but I do believe self-evaluation is good Though perhaps not this open in class...

Gotta run now, if you want to discuss, I'll be back later
*hugs Sis* (It's been a while )

I have homemade chocolate cake sitting on the counter, with homemade vanilla frosting too. It turned out pretty well! Quick, eat it up before I eat it all and get the fatties.

Ah! How noble of you! It's good to see that there are still those knightly enough to save poor old ladies from the terrors of the fatties.

Yeah, for the first time since we moved here, I feel better about Arizona You wouldn't believe how much lead was flying! My daughter turned to me and said, "What's stopping someone from just turning around and shooting people?" I said, "Nothing! But they wouldn't get too many shots off ... "

There was a lot of security, and the gun reps walked the gun you chose to the shooting line, loaded it there, stood next to you while you shot, and took it from you at the shooting line. Still, someone certainly could have gone rogue. But hey, gotta get out and do things!

Eh, I just didn't like how the Glocks looked, and I didn't like the sight on the one I shot.

Taurus is just as good as a Glock; slightly safer, lighter and mechanically tough as nails. Also, about half the price of a Glock too. I have both, among others. My CC of choice is Taurus though.

"I HAVE THE DAY OFF!!!!" she yelled before getting back to her chores...



Hey Lief! It's been a while!
Hiya Acally!
No cookies or cakes or whatever for me. *sigh* Though it sounds delicious. *drools*

You know, it's so weird to read about people owning guns like it's the most normal thing in the world. Which it probably is for you guys. Here you are barely allowed to own a kitchenknife

No, among the folks I see routinely having a personal gun would be signficantly stranger (and less desirable) than having a carousel in your yard.

That's what I'm saving up for. And a small scale train.

Carousel! Me likes.
A friend of mine from a different forum has miniature Dutch trams in his garden. Not the same as a small scale train, but nice too ^_^
My dad used to build miniature trains as well, but he sold them years ago.

Noble! Long time no see! So you more or less survived your exams?

Was it such a long time? I guess my current location explains it...

Today, I finished one of the projects I have to do to that design school, a jewel. Well, it doesn't have any jewels in it, but it's a pretty piece of wood with light brown and silvery strings on it. Don't know the real name, but in Finnish the wood is "red beech". It gives a nice touch to the surface, with those red stripes on it.

I also made the sound box; a (fake) sponge with wood pearls in it and a thin piece of wood covering it, attached with a strong taping. Maybe not very pretty, but I consider the use of a (fake) sponge to be creative, when the paper says it's supposed to be a sound "box". Tomorrow, I'll make the floating item miniatyre, and maybe even put together the two files I'm supposed to send. (Two schools, two files.)

I also finished the last two pieces of lyrics to the record me and my best friend are doing. The other one I wrote using the haiku- poetic meter. I'll post it in the WW.

How have you been? I've been sneaking around the cafe, but didn't really wanna log in. My exams... went worse than I expected, but not that bad really. Let's see, all the used grades, from the best to worst: L(über), E, M, C, B, A, and I (failed). My grades: L/E for English, B for Geology, C for Swedish, Philosophy and maybe Mother Tongue.
