Comes in and munches on veggie pizza.

How are you all?

The Star Wars themed fashion show was great - May the 4th be with you!
Boo Radley
Ah beautiful, pepperoni is my favourite, and doesn't this tree grow them lovely and hot. *wanders off to look for fruit pavlova tree*
cheeble
I'll take goats cheese and walnuts on my pizza, thank yo... wow, that was weird. My pizza appeared before I'd finished typing.

Ahhhh.... that feels good.

Where's the French Horn tree?

*picks pepperoni pizza off tree...*

Mmm Boo! These are certainly good! biggrin.gif

I've quite happy today, so not so much need for the jacuzzi - more like a swimming pool, it is really warm!

But a bit sad.gif as a boy in our year has 6 months to live

Ohhhh what a lovely feeling when the calming mist and the happy mist meet. Almost like eating one of Nicki's Brownies rolleyes.gif biggrin.gif

I'd like to say that our resident Moo is quite safe in my signature cool.gif

As you can see, Moo is no longer drowning - she is grazing gracefully.

Good smile.gif

Yes, why was I ever so not stressed today? I have so much to do.

Because life's too short to worry about stuff smile.gif

Now you're stressing about not being stressed? Oh dear.

Trebor is right smile.gif

I know sad.gif I need some system that prevents me from worrying...

Aversion therapy. Hire someone to poke you in the side everytime you worry.

Good idea...I'd feel sorry for the poker!

katyjay
that's very sad, Nicki sad.gif
nicki_flute
I didn't know the boy...well I know what he looks like but a friend of mine was much closer - so hard to see his reaction. He has cancer and the doctors can't do any more

Actually, the anti-stress, chill-out and relax room melts pointy sticks, Nicki. But it is in any case impossible to worry or fret here...
*forgot to take book out with me - it needs to be tidied away too*


Didn't you know that things tidy themselves in here?


Why, so they do. Any chance of rolling out this room to my house? blink.gif


That would be a good invention.

It really would...

QUOTE

Time to leave this stress free environment.. the piano won't practice itself....

That would also be a good invention though!

QUOTE(Choddy @ May 4 2006, 05:39 PM) *

Yeah! In fact...

*invites all other violists in and sets up amazing viola orchestra*

Really sorry to hear that, Nicki. That sort of thing is always awful, at whatever age, but it is always harder when you know someone of your own age in that situation.
nicki_flute
I just can't imagine how awful it must be...

anacrusis
*finds very relaxing CD by the hi-fi corner and puts it on*
nicki_flute
Moulding Blu Tack is quite relaxing biggrin.gif

Isn't it?? I keep some on my bedside table for when I can't sleep at night, and I start biting my nails (still haven't actually managed to stop doing that though)

Oooooooooooh what a wonderful room!

It that a bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin I see on that shelf? Mmmmmmmmmmh......anyone (over the age of 18, hehe) for a G&T?
sarah-flute
Another convert to the chill out room! Yay!

*chills in the hot tub with a cocktail and admires the string quartet...*
janexxx
*lights some aromatherapy candles and then snoozes in the corner*
Wobby
Can we revise here? smile.gif

~Wobby~
janexxx
Revising is good here because the atmosphere stops you getting stressed and you are more likely to keep focused and remember everything.

You can take your exams here too!
Wobby
Oh, cool...! biggrin.gif

*Pulls out a library worth of revision guides* - those cost me an absolute bomb! Hope it was worth it! tongue.gif

Hmm... I'm aiming for no lower than an A* - hope that doesn't put anyone off! smile.gif

~Wobby~
Oddball
Well no, if you can do it, do it! smile.gif Best of luck to you Wobster.
Wobby
Aahh, cheers! smile.gif

I've had a high standard set by my bro, you see - 9A*s and 2As... and he's in Oxford Uni at the moment! biggrin.gif

Shame they had to change Humanities into 'Citizenship' now though - it's so much more difficult and obscure, i.e. What is the definition of Rule 21 of Customer Protection and Marketing? Or something along those lines... huh.gif

~Wobby~

Jane, d'ya think we could get Maxim do do some of the Shosti for us in here?
