Tuber Mirum 125 Posted February 13, 2005 Just looking at their front page, it looks pretty horrid. I should keep away from that kind of thing, it doesn't improve the balance of one's mind in my opinion. You don't want to end up like Mrs. Trellis. One way of knowing if it's real or not, is if you see the same person getting killed twice, then at least one of the clips is a fake. Good luck for your first day in your new job!

Amanda 3 Posted February 13, 2005 Yeah it was pretty bloody nasty, though there were a couple of amusing things. I really want to discuss what I saw, but it's not really a top discussion topic is it? Let's talk about something good! Thank you for your good luck wishes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josco 49 Posted February 14, 2005 Good luck for your first day in your new job! May I join Mr Notapotato in wishing you 'bon chance' in your new job. Do let us know how it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda 3 Posted February 14, 2005 Thank you! It was pretty crap! Hate being the new girl and nobody really wanted to take responsibility in giving me any work, which isn't such a bad thing, but like to keep brain active. Maybe tomorrow will be better? This is what happens when you do things spontaneously and up-sticks within 24 hours of having the idea. And seeing as this job was given to me without actually being interviewed (because my sister works here) then I suppose I've done pretty well. Keeps me out of the dole queue! Novelty of living here is kind of wearing off though as living with sis and boyfriend at mo, and am very much the gooseberry - particularly given that today is the day of lurrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeee. Oh well, gonna nip out and buy myself some heart shaped chocs and some pink champagne (or maybe some smarties and a bottle of £3.99 pink wine!). Bye for now!

Amanda 3 Posted February 26, 2005 I'm afraid that I have to agree with you there ... it's bloody sad. Repeat after me: Amanda is a loser Amanda is a loser Amanda is a loser I clearly have too much time on my hands and not enough to fill my mind! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IYG Posted February 26, 2005 Don't be so hard on yourself, I guess I was a little out of place seeing as your life is kind of in shambles right now. I apologize. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted February 26, 2005 Amanda is a l***r You aren't doing yourself any favours saying stuff like that about yourself. Even flippantly. Repeating affirmative statements about yourself (however silly they sound) can make them come true. The same is true of negative ones unfortunately. The human mind is extremely malleable. Now repeat after me: Amanda is really great Amanda approves of herself Amanda is big and strong and grown-up or whatever Notice what a difference it makes.

Amanda 3 Posted February 28, 2005 Wow! Thank you both of you!! I LOVE all that stuff as above!!! It really does work!! My self-opinion is slowly improving... just had too many knockbacks lately - work, money, car, men, but life's too short to obsess over these things. What to say about my car? My car eats oil (a litre a week) My car overheats My car makes grinding noises if people sit in the back My car keeps getting flat tyres My car looks bloody cool though!!! Still haven't done anything about my avatar, but I really will next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanda 3 Posted February 28, 2005 *gasps & hyperventilates* How can you say that???!!!! Corey (the Corrado - not very imaginative I know) is a collector's car - a rare breed!!! It would be criminal to take him any where near a scrap yard! He's a beautiful, sleek, joy to own (when he works) and it would be like taking a member of my family to be put down... NEVER! As it happens, I'm having him put in for a service on Friday and hopefully this will resolve all of his issues and have back to being a proper car again. Honestly, he's a beautiful dream machine and if you saw him and drove him, you'd know that he's a superior breed of car. I've been thinking about joining the VW Corrado Great Britain Club so that I have like-minded people to enthuse of my car with me, as my friends and family really just don't get it. I'll have my Corrado 'til the day I die! (Or probably will actually die in it, it's such a deathtrap!!!) *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanda 3 Posted March 1, 2005 Oh yeah?! Says who?! My car is DEFINATELY a boy. I couldn't drive a female car and he needs to have a personna to motivate him to work, go up hills etc, so I can assure you therefore that he is 100% male, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Anyway, he's not machinery, he's .... ... and you'd never believe it ...... ....... but it's true .... ... he's God, in car form. So there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josco 49 Posted March 1, 2005 The passing petty pedant posts a punishing riposte and parts company. The term parts company has a decidedly inhospitable ring to it. Remind me never to accept a dinner invitation to Josco's house. The alliteration came to me during the journey to work but it petered out towards the end. Regarding an invitation to dinner, I'm afraid that all guests have to be vetted by Mrs Josco as she does the catering. My sole responsibilty is bacchanalian buffonery.
