  1. I just noticed your 'member description' :D Oh June, you cracked me up! And you are no ugly bag, you're a beautiful bag! :) xo

      Thank you ! I didn't really mean that I was an ugly bag - it's actually a q

      Sorry, hit the return key at the wrong time ! I was saying that it's actually a quote from Star Trek whereby an unknown alien life form is trying to describe humankind. It just seems humorous.

      I haven't been to Helsinki in a year, and then it was only for a weekend... And I haven't been to a cruise as a single gal in about a decade... :D It's going to be a hoot!

      No, wait, I've been to Estonia as a single gal, but those are only 24 hour cruises. The cruise to Stockholm is a two day event! :)

      Thanks everyone! :) The celebrations start on the day before actual May day, but people do celebrat on the actual day, too. They have picnics and parades and such :)

  4. Joining a 'panel' later this evening to write reviews of five songs selected by organizers of a hi-fi 'convention'. Am so nervous, it's going to be so odd and different from writing book reviews.

      Relax and have fun, Frankie.. :)

      Beforehand friend said that reviews are to be written down on paper and I don't have to talk infront of the other people, and that was the only reason why I decided to go for it. And yet they went for oral reviews instead, and it was pretty scary for me, as I've always hated being the center of attention. I survived, though! :D

  5. Making meatballs all by myself for the first time ever.

      Mince meet, cream crackers and onion. Fry onion, whack cream crackers to tiny bits, put everything in a bowl, do the seasoning and mix. In the oven, 200 degrees for 15 minutes. Done! :)

      I add some parsley before mixing the meat with other ingredients. It gives a fresh note. Some italians put garlic too.. but meatballs became heavier. Anyway, well done Frankie. :)

      Hope it's a success!

  6. Today I'm proud to be Finnish. The petition released only today, to advocate an equal marriage law in Finland, has already received the needed 50,000 signatures and so the petition will be presented to the Finnish parliament this year :)

      Will that be the same as in Norwegian law then Frankie or is it just like civil partnerships?

    4. frankie

      frankie

      People have been able to register their relationships before, but this would be an actual marriage law :)

  7. Pinch punch! Did I get it right?

      Woohoo! GG girls!!!!!!!! Ooh, and Parenthood! In a Lauren Graham mood, huh? :)

      frankie

      Not really, but I saw both DVDs on sale and because I've been meaning to get the Parenthood DVD and I've always meant to get the whole set of GG I had to get them both :) Unfortunately I couldn't find the fifth season, I still need that and the 7th.

       

  9. I see you are in the middle of creating your reading log for next year, I wish I hadn't noticed, now I can't wait to see what it'll be like, and I'm supposed to go to bed to read and sleep :D

    1. Brian.

      Brian.

      That's sweet of you :D

       

      You should go and read and sleep because it will take me at least another hour before it's getting anywhere near done. You can have something to look forward to in the morning then :P

    2. frankie

      frankie

      Haha. You're right, I'm going. (It makes it particularly long-lasting a task because you can't post a new post until the 4 minute period's gone, as you know... Well at least you could work on your first few posts while waiting for the 4 minutes to pass, wink wink! :D Okay okay, I'm going! Happy construction :))

  10. Just realised what day it was yesterday: Happy Birthday, Brian! :)

    1. Brian.

      Brian.

      Thanks. I just have to decide what books to treat myself to now, life is tough :D

       

      Another year older though which isn't a good thing.

    2. frankie

      frankie

      If that's your biggest worry, you're well off :D If you get depressed about being another year older, just remember: you'll always be older than me :P

  11. Helsinki was covered in snow today, I cannot believe they beat us to it! Waiting for snow this evening/night...

  12. Off to rock my behind off! :)

  15. Could you read the promotional guidelines of the forum, please? For example, we dot not allow posting links to promotional websites etc. Thank you :)

  16. I've merged your topic on A Confederacy of Dunces with the already existing topic on it.

  20. Hello! Yes, you started your Lovecraft in the Horror section, but I merged it with the older, already existing Lovecraft thread, which happened to be in the Fiction section, and that's why it was there for a while. It'll now stay in th Horror section, and I will go and delete you and I's brief discussion on what happened from there as it's unrelated to the topic, and let people continue discussing Lovecraft :)

  21. Hello Jänet dear! I read your post on the RC thread, concerning voddy's quick question, and I just wanted to come here and give you a huggle and say I hope you feel better! *huggles* You didn't sound patronizing at all or anything :)

      (I wanted to comment on here instead of the thread because your comments weren't directed towards me and it's really none of my business, but I just wanted to have my two cents in anyway, hehe!)

  22. Happy Birthday Abcinthia, have the most awesome day! :)

  23. You're a regular trash lady today from the looks of things on forum! Just goes to show how amazing this place is: even the trash is brilliant and needs to be given back to people! :P Thank you for your utmost absolute brilliance in Moding :)

  24. I don't want to post on your 2012 reading log yet, because I fear you might not welcome any intrusions yet (except for Janet's, that was a brilliant one :D), so I had to come here and say: I was laughing out loud reading the description in the beginning of your posts :D You are one funny gal <3

      Glad I made you laugh Frankie and you're more than welcome there - I've finished blethering now. It was supposed to be serious but it just descended into madness. I was telling my niece about my motivational thoughts and she has challenged me to put them into practice in 2012 ... oh boy .. wish I had just written 'read more Fforde' now :)

  25. Thank you chesilbeach, it was mostly a quiet day, due to the celebrations the evening prior :) xo
