6,000 posts wohoo!

A very good plot indeed, aye? It took a while for you to get stuck with it but eventually I succeeded! Happy tunes

Aaa, it seems like you've been having a fabulous time, seeing your favorite band and all Don't be a stranger on the forum though

Actually I haven't read Hunchie yet and I voted for it cause I've got it on my bookshelf to read at some point. Had forgotten about it though, but I'm thinking if others are reading it too I'll be more motivated to start it

Ah yep and yesterday when I was going to a bookstore (just for a quick look, hehehe), the shopping mall was playing The Beatles song Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da, I thought it was so funny to be reminded of the Australian Mistress of Books just when I'm about to enter a bookstore :DD

Ah, I read your last message first and then noticed the previous one. Are you sure you got the name right because Markuu is not a Finnish name? Perhaps you mean 'Markus' or, more likely, 'Markku'? If the latter, I don't blame you for not getting it right, the kk's are both pronounced and English does not have any word that would have double k's.

Ah, so there is! Holly is really cute

Ah, thanks for the notice, I might not have discovered your post on the thread for a while, not having had that much time to spend on the forum lately. I'll be posting on the thread now

All them restrictions and matching curtains make me think of an X-Files episode where some people on a similar kinda suburb died under suspicious circumstances. There turned out to be some kind of a monster who killed the people who didn't live according to the many, many various rules and restrictions.... so good look to the people of Celebration

Almost forgot that I want to consult you on a very particular matter. Now, I know you are somewhat of an expert on reading in the bathtub. I've only ever had one bath in my entire life (!!) (I do use the shower, it's not that I'm a bloody cavewoman you know, and shame on you if you even considered me being one!) but I'm about to experience my second bath probably tonight. My friend moved to an appartment which has a bathtub and naturally I want to take advantage of the situation! So, how do you read in a tub? Do you have some sort of a tray for the book and other things? Because I can't see myself risking it using only hands to hold the book up.

And congratulations on the anniversary! 20 years is sure long, it's amazing! I can't even grasp it Wee mini celebration sounds nice, bottoms up! And remember, when the bottle's cracked open, then it's just you and him, and you'd better keep off the forum and posting!

Are you sure you meant Andy, the annoying passive aggressive guy when you said he really grows on you?? I can't imagine that, I've never liked him. Well I never liked Dwight or Michael either but now I've become to understand them a bit better and empathise with them so I guess all's possible... Yep I saw the ep where he punched the wall It was so funny when he came back and Dwight pepper sprayed him (he'd sprayed Roy too, for trying to attack Jim. Another epic episode!) Oh one of my fave episodes was when Holly came to work there and Dwight was doing a little hazing and told Holly that Kevin's mentally challenged. Poor Kevin thought she was totally into him and he was like I'm totally gonna bang her I love Kevin, he's one of my fave characters <3

As for the Pavlova, I asked my brother if he knows it and he does but he doesn't like merengue so it's just as well I didn't make them, and he doesn't like marshmallows either. Anyways, I just noticed that there's a new dachshund in the neighborhood, I'm excited!! I hope you've had an excellent Xmas, from the snippets I've read here and there I think ...

As much as I would love chatting to you more, I must be off, it's 4 AM here and I need my beauty sleep (to be able to compete with the ****** Swedes!!) Good night to me, and a great day to you my dear <3

Aww I had no idea you're ill, have you been to a doctor? Is it still at it's worst or are you feeling at all better? I really hope it goes away asap, it must be tiresome. Dylan is such a wonderful companion, taking care of his Mum <3

Aww, thanks I can't say yours is pretty, but I can say that it is pretty handsome! That's a new one of Ian Rankin isn't it, this picture is so much better. In the other one he looked older, this one shows he's actually quite young and not bad to look at

Awww Kylie! *huggles* I haven't been on the computer that much lately because I'm at BF's and BF's always on the computer and I've just been too lazy to get my own laptop out of my backpack I've been mostly reading and watching The Office. Now BF's in school and I'm sneaking a peek at the forum *giggle*

Awww, I'm sad about the pieru I think my friend must've remembered wrong. Maybe you could start circulating the word pieru as an alternative for bestia?

Awww, such a lovely dog! Is that your own dog? Welcome to the forum by the way!

Bananas are good! My BF can't stand them, I think it's weird. But hey, more for me! I've never tried Weetabix, are they sweet or savoury? The "normal" ones I mean. I can't remember the last time I've had cereal either. It's always rye bread for me at breakfast, or porridge if I'm feeling crazy

Bloody hell! The first person to come to the house is from Joensuu, where I live! Too bad she's like 50 years old, I don't know her.

Brother cut my hair, about 30-40cm of it, and I now have the shortest hairdo since I was a kid, and I never thought I'd look good with short hair but I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror, bro made me prettyful

BTW, have you considered keeping a reading blog here?

BTW, I was googling for Emazon and ended up on this girl's book blog and she mentioned The Williamstown Literary Festival and I was thinking, are you going? It's on 29.4-1.5, around the time you're going traveling all over the place.

But why does he have to live in Minnesota? The plane tickets must cost like a fortune for you and besides what's in Minnesota? He could be more considerate and move at least to New York or something like that if he has to live in the US. You're lucky btw that he's not bad to look at. Oh my, I was going to google for an ugly male writer for comparison but then realised how superficial and mean that would be
