Isn't dreaming of teeth falling out an anxiety dream? Hope you're not overdoing it

Oh dear, I keep having teeth falling out dreams too.

I've had these for years and it hasn't come true yet so I wouldn't worry too much

oh dear I've never had that dream, does that mean I have no anxiety?!

I think you've just answered your own question!

Fresh baker's bread tastes very good

fresh bread.

Fresh bread is often best with nothing on it, I think : you can get all the bready goodness then

Haha, just read the above posts, they made be chuckle Just came on to ask if anyone has ever been "followed around" by weird things? Like numbers? Or words? Or colours? Which seem to be EVERYWHERE.

I'm being haunted by the number 1111 I get so scared by things, and work myself up so much. Like I still won't go upstairs or downstairs on my own after a nightmare I had when I was 4.

But anyway, it follows me everywhere. At first it has just been usually the time. My bedside clock is digital, and I swear that all the way through the holidays, it was 11:11 pm or am. For nearly all of the days, I would lie in late, and I would wake up to bright red 1111 staring at me (next doors alarm clock probably went off at that time or something...) Then when I collapsed into bed, I would turn over last thing, and it would flash at me, 1111. Now at school our lockers are in alphabetical order, mine is 1111, and when I went to thorpe park, there was a ride photo I loved and got, guess what the photo number was...

The time thing still goes on, and last night I fell asleep at 11:11. This morning I was chatting to dad, and was telling him all about it, and he said "Oh, that's when the first world war ended". WHAT? I had absolutely no idea and now it's really freaky because that's a huge event, and it keeps being flashed at me

Now we've got a school trip on the 11th of November and I don't know what's going to happen...

Haha, that happened to me a couple of years ago. What I thought was funny was when it mysteriously became 2222 that followed me everywhere. If it had got to 666, maybe I would have started to get a little bit freaked out.

That's what I thought! But I didn't put it, in case it jinxed it and did turn to 666.

I'm failing at making up songs to remember the maths formulas which aren't on the sheet, and singing them over and over. To heads, shoulders knees and toes. For V= Ah/3, for pyramids.

Veee equals ay aich over three, over three
Veeeee equals ay aich over three, over three-ee
for a pyyyyrrrraaaamiidddd, a pyrimidypoo
Vee equals ay aich over three, over three.

my family love me

Now for pie r squared h, and 2 pie r h... hmmmm

Beethoven's Marcia Alla Turca = - Bizarre fingering but it works... Although I'm only 8 bars in

I used to do that- in fact, I'm sure one of my students (I used to tutor during my GCSE and college years) did use silly songs to remember formulae in her exams!

Is this debuting on Saturday?

Not a chance.. you might get a few bars at the most! Good few month's work at least (if I don't give up before then!) as it's never ending chords from h*ll .

I'm planning on playing 1 Beethoven piece (maybe 2 )

Fair enough : looking forward to it!

Hope you're planning another one. I have a trip to London on the cards early next year, a friend has his first job in the West End!

Hmm...we'll have to see if we can have a gathering that coincides with a Juniper visit...

When the date for Teddington is confirmed I may possibly be able to fit something around that, if I can bring myself to play piano in front of an audience other than my dogs

Wonderful! Katyjay and AmandaL always put a good show on : hope you can make it!

Erm, you do realise they're in the formula book, so you don't really need to learn them? I'm not so sure about the pyramid one, but you can easily deduce the (pi)r^2*h = volume of cylinder and 2(Pi)rh = surface area of cylinder from just knowing the area and circumference of a circle and using a little bit of common sense when encountering a problem requiring them.

I just cried so hard I couldn't breathe. Over a film. Which my tutor made me watch. New levels of patheticness?

Not at all - I still burst into tears at the 'Daddy, my Daddy!' bit in The Railway Children. In fact just typing it made me feel a bit weepy

Which film was it?

The Wind That Shakes the Barley. So sad. I started crying at a sad bit halfway through, and had just about recovered when the end happened, and set me off again. I love the Railway children too.

SNAP!!!!

The only film that really messes me up is The Green Mile.

There are a few others (mostly other Tom Hanks films funnily enough), but nowhere near on that scale.

I don't cry much at films. Grave of the Fireflies got pretty close though.

Me too.

I cried over a film with mwl1 the other night... It wasn't even a sad film.

Have to agree there. I read the book before watching the film and had to force myself not to cry as I knew I'd be howling so much I'd miss the end Shawshank redemption is the only other that comes close.

Was it really that awful?

I love that film.

Last night I asked Mum to get me a bar of chocolate for this evening, as she was going to the supermarket. She came home, and brought the chocolate downstairs to me in the living room. The living room was quite warm at that stage, so when my brother was going upstairs again, I asked him to put it somewhere cooler than down here (meaning in a cupboard in the kitchen).

All is well, or so I thought...


Exam finishes, then I realise I'm not certain where he would have put the chocolate. Hunt around cupboards, can't find it. Mum needs to send him a text message anyway, so asks him where is the chocolate for me is.
Reply comes back: "In the freezer... "


So my lovely soya chocolate bar had been in the freezer for about 20 hours. It didn't taste as nice as it usually does, and was too cold!

I've zapped my lasaugne a bit too long in the microwave.

Today at school, one of my friends was making stir-fry in Food Tech... but she had no noodles so it was just chicken and sweetcorn

The phantom milk thief seems to have decided to stop stealing our milk.

I think it might have something to do with the blue food colouring we put in it.

You're definetely getting the hang of being a student.

A good friend of my mum informed her today:

"We like 'DC'...she's good and solid!"

If I try hard enough I'll find a compliment there somewhere!

I've just had a near death experience with foam.

?????

I went to a foam party at a club... The club is tiny and there was only foam on one dance floor so every body was cramming on - so near death experience number one: I nearly got trampled.
Then they turned the foam on... and I'm 5'2, so it settled on peoples shoulders mostly, but it was basically all around me, and on top of me, so I couldn't breathe... and I couldn't get out. I thought I was going to suffocate. Me and my friend managed to shove our way out, and ran straight to the loo to cough up half a bottle of fairy liquid.

Even though I was basically sober I have to worst stomach/headache in the world right now, and the most horrible fairy-liquid taste in my mouth.

Never again!

A foam party?

Like the suds you get from bubble-bath... they spray it all over the crowd. I never really got the point of it to be honest...

Did you go to Tru? Silly people

If you're blowing bubbles when you speak today I would advise you go to see your doctor!!! You night have swallowed too much fairy liquid!!!

Yes, having been to one, just to see if it lives up to the hype, I don't think I shall be going back to another foam party any time soon!


Yes, but tru is amazing! How was I to know that it would try to kill me? By the way I also tried out Revelation gospel choir last night, and it was awesome! Was it you I was talking to about it? Anyway, when you get better you should totally join.





Haha I'm not quite blowing bubbles, but I can't sing to save my life!

Are you producting some sort of gargling sound now?

I remember having my mouth washed out with washing up liquid when I was about 5 for swearing... I never forgot how disgusting it tastes!

I remember getting that too... some sort of blue bathroom soap

I had that too - a couple of times. I was obviously not a very fast learner at the time!

I bet these days you would be considered a terrible parent (and probably attract the attention of Social Services) for doing that to your child, but I think I probably got what I deserved!

Clarinet practice = lots
Flute practice = some
Saxophone practice = some
Cello practice = some
Singing practice = some
Kodaly practice = very, very little
Kodaly lesson = tomorrow

I just wimped out of doing karaoke at the pub. Shame, shame on me.
