Well another day surfing the org. Doesn't seem like a whole lot of people here. my lovely daughter got off at the wrong bus stop and luckily a friend drove her to her destination, swimming lessons. I wasn't at the bus stop because my sister pays for her to go to swimming lessons on Friday. The child knows this. I love this kid, I tell you. I had her yearly parent/teacher meeting today. She's making progress. She has a iep in reading/writing/spelling and they explained that because of this, the school can't hold her back because of her horrible grades. She still doesn't recognize all of her kindergarten sight words yet and she is in second grade. I just don't want her to suffer the stigma of staying back. Because they think she has a learning disability they don't believe that staying back would do her any good anyway.

nahh....I do music. the comedy connection does specialize in comedy. but here open to letting music shocases perform there...what ever makes them money.

keep ur haed up about ur daughter. this is the case with many children.

nyse said:

That's what I thought. When I read that you were at a comedy club I thought maybe you were trying to diversify your entertainment skills. There aren't many that can do both comedy and music well.


My daughter's learning style can be very frustrating. She can learn the words to a song faster than most children and even learned how to spell her name once it was put to music. However it is seemingly impossible for me to put every sight word to music; and the whole point of sight words is that you recognize them by sight, immediately (spelling?)

She does have a very pretty singing voice and she practices singing on her own alot, she loves to make people laugh and maybe will do something with these skills someday. I regret that her skills are those in entertainment since it's not an easy road and few can truly live off of it. However I don't want to discourage her. I had interests in acting the first 18 years of my life and I was strongly discouraged and felt like an embarassment to my family so I stopped pursueing it. I now wish that I had failed rather than quit. I guess if my daughter takes that road I will feel the same way towards her; don't take away her success or her failure. It's her life.

I am sure that older she gets the more difficult it will be to let her make her own mistakes.

I bought a new car today. Wasn't planning on buying a new car today, but somehow did.

I feel a little overwhelmed at yet another one of my impulse buys.

JustErin said:

That's pretty extreme. I once went into town to buy, if I recall correctly, a pair of shoes, and ended up buying a $500 leather jacket instead.

Fauxie said:

I bought a motorcycle once, then once I bought a suv. I hope this works out ok.

JustErin said:

wow, that's pretty cool. what colour is it?

JustErin said:

A car?????

Couldn't settle for a pair of shoes or something?

My last impulse buy was eight t-shirts on the internet for less than half price than here

connorhawke said:

interesting. what kind of T-shirts?

christ, i'm nosy tonight. i hope you all will tell me to fuck off if i ask too many questions.

whistle said:

connorhawke said:

Ya, I almost had an anxiety attack when I realized what I was doing.

I wish it would rain.


I love the smell of the rain.

DesireeNevermind said:

whistle said:

i wish it would rain for 17 days straight!

DesireeNevermind said:

whistle said:

ooh i love it. i love to walk in the rain. i love to keep the windows open so the sound and smell can come through.

okay maybe not 17 consecutive days but definitely 17. Ooohh...and with some lightening and thunder.

DesireeNevermind said:

JustErin said:

Is it a nice car?

whistle said:

I'd never tell you to fuck off...unless you punched me.

They're those American Apparel ones....sooo comfortable. They charge $32 over here but I got 'em for the equivalent of AUD14 each!

connorhawke said:

I wouldn't buy a car if I didn't think was nice.

why the fuck would a band tour with THREE openers? ugh

evenstar3 said:

nyse said:

Living Color toured here with Cosmic Psychos, boy was that obvious, open with horrible buzzing noise so main act sounds AMAZING

JustErin said:

Well,did you have any regrets about the motorcycle or the SUV?

nyse said:

When I lived in Atlanta, I lived near an old Cemetary and went their quite often; interesting landscaping. I loved it most of all during and after the rain because of the smell and the way the light played on the cemetary stones. I have yet to fall in love with another cemetary like I did with that one.

Deadflow3r said:

Motorcycle, no. SUV - yes x a million.

JustErin said:

really? why's that? gas guzzling?
