My parents just had an EARTHQUAKE!!!! In INDIANA!!!! And it was a big one!
Everything's okay and no damage at home, though.

Glad to hear everybody and everything is fine
I may just have gotten myself a (summer)job interview. Not sure actually, I just called to ask about the hours and she said "Why don't you come by with your CV?" so I'll print it out and get going now... Weirdness... @_@ Oh, before I forget: Good morning Sis!!! Today I'm not going to tackle you. No. I won't. Must... not... Oh, why do I even try!? *performs a restraint tackle on Sis* There, that wasn't so difficult now was it? I made fresh tea, please help yourself! (And that goes for you too, Rinkë )

Haha! I do recommend you don't encourage me though. I'm not the lightest of persons so you might strain your back

But before that, wazzup?

Nothing "up" here. I'm doing my translation and am actually on schedule
I just came back from town where I saw a bride and cute kids, bought myself an ice cone (which is rare because I don't really like ice cream) and then had to fight with the wind on the way back on my bike. Happiness You have to play as in act/sing in a play, or you have to go out for something fun today?

Beautiful day, AND I'm going roller-blading. I shall give myself the day off...or at least the early part, I'm stuck for the evening.

Roller-blading? That's a while since I did that! I skate on a regular basis, but roller-blading...
Sounds like fun! ^_^ And if you have sun to accompany it... heaven! Have a great time and don't fall now *has obviously no idea whether Sis goes out roller-blading a lot or not and if she's prone to falling or not* *drags Sis into a little dance and makes her do a pirouette before releasing her and bowing* Happy, happy, happy days! *continues singing*

Some folks get together once a month in the winter and rent a rink for a few hours. I'm not exactly getting big air on the half-pipe. But I try not to miss.
I took a course, years ago, to make sure my transition from skates to blades went without incident.

Wait a sec... I looked at your post and it gave me a strange vibe. Rightly so, because when I googled it, it turns out that what you call roller-blading is what we call skating... >_<
Roller-blading as I understand it, is this: Whereas skating is this: EDIT: I don't do tricks or high speed or something though. Too scary! I prefer long-distance

Even in Dutch, what would be a component of "blade" in that toddler's picture?
Is this like that "left", "right" business?

It's more the "roller" part that does it. In Dutch, it's called "rolschaatsen".
And left is simply where your thumb is right and right is where your thumb is left. Simple! What according to google is "skating", here we call skate-boarding. Now I understand why I sometimes got strange replies or looks when I say that I'm going out skating...

I started with the strap-ons, continued with the roller skates and changed to the blades when I was 11 I think. I remember my first pair... the wheels were fluorescent yellow, pink, green and orange and the boots were black with those colours. I completely destroyed those.
By the way, I also learned ice-skating with strap-ons before moving on to normal skates on which you can make pirouettes etc. and from there on to long-distance ones. We call those "noren" here. Aww, drat! You made me want to go out! But it's dinnertime soon... >_<
