*hugs everybody*

Oliver, is there anything you DO like that lots of people do? Was surprised to hear you don't like HP films.

Nicole, glad you got a worker now :D

dr who?! umm probs not much else, I like lots of things, but most people think they are weird to like!

*hugs all*

Fair enough :) I wasn't attacking you, just wondered :D I don't like Dr Who myself but nobody can like everything ^_^

its ok, fair enough see I don't understand how someone can't like dr who, but then there you go, as you said not everyone can like everything, I just seem to not like things which are popular and like things which are not popular.
Even the guy from the crisis team looked at me really weirdly when I said I like the Tudors.

Oliver: I like the Tudors too - I like history: both in terms of our (human) history, and things like word history. I love being able to tell people the history of the words they use. Like "nice" has gone from meaning "foolish, stupid and senseless" (late 13c), to "precise and careful" (1500s) and now we use it to mean whatever we want!! Nice!! Sorry, I got carried away. The thing is that you are never going to like everything that everyone else likes. To be able to find something in common with anyone is always a challenge.

By the way ... I have to join you in not liking HP films. I wasn't particularly into the books either I have to admit. I think I made it up to about book 4 before I just stopped reading ... but I'm a little fussy when it comes to reading. I tend to stick to my Sir Terry Pratchett (Discworld novels) and IT textbooks. *shrugs* I think I'm a geek freak.

Oliver: it is true. you can't like everything and there is always someone who doesnt have a lot of similar inerests as you have. I love horses, my horse is the most important thing in the world for me. A lot of people I know think that I'm a weirdo, because horses are that important. And probably, because I am not a party person...

*hugs all* sorry I wasnt around much lately.

Personally, I love Harry Potter. It stopped me cutting one night, I read The Half Blood Prince instead and for that I will always love them and JK. Some of my other top loves are fanfiction, writing and acting, a sad existence for a 16 year old girl. Most people think it's uncool to stay in writing rather than go to parties, or that I'd rather go to the theatre than drink. I'm trying to think of something I don't love now...hmmm...oh, Achmed the Dead Terrorist or however you spell his stupid name. Loads of people think it's really funny, but it has never managed to raise so much as a smile from me and I don't get the appeal myself.

*hugs everyone*

*hugs Lore* my teddy bear (William) and french horn (Henry VIIII) are te most important things in the world to me and i love them lots.

*hugs Lia* The harry potter books are awesome, I love them, I thik thats why I don't like the films because they spoil the books for me.

*hugs Kahlia* I never knew that about the word nice. I could never get into the Discworld books, not sure why just couldn't.

*hugs Nicole* how are you?

*huggles all*

I have to draw mind maps tomorrow. Woot!!

*Hugs Kahlia* How are you? Whats a mind map ?

*hugs everybody*

Mark, I know I'm not Kahlia but - A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.

Lia, I also don't like going out. Well I don't mind too much going out with my Mum & her colleagues to their work parties (usually one of a colleague's). But will never ever go clubbing ever again. Have gone 3 times and hated it. Infact the last time I left home early, bit tipsy and didn't even get a taxi. I never go out with my friends during the evening now, because they always want to go clubbing/drinking.

Thanks Helen:) How are you ?

*hugs ward*

My Literary Theory essay is just... wow. super hard. I have to work on it for 10 mins, stop, do something else, return. It's annoying me.

*Hugs Felica*

How're you, Mark?

I'm feeling okay thanks Felicia. How are you ? ( Exept working hard ) :)

I've been pretty low lately, honestly.
And I've not really been speaking. It's odd, and not fun at all.

*Hugs Felicia* If you need a rant or vent or anything you cam PM me okay? Or FB me :)

*hugs everyone* sorry i've been so absent lately... busy, sick, low. combo of all three i guess.

*Hugs Mark* Thanks, it means a lot. <3
*Hugs Laura* Looks like we've been in a similar boat. I hope things get better for you.

*Hugs Laura*

*spots and Squishes Sarah* How are you this evening ? :)

*hugs felicia* uni is exhausting isnt it? heh. sorry you're struggling so much too. Always around if you want/need to vent.

*hugs mark* how r u doing?

*hugs kahlia, helen, sarah, oliver, julie, lore, ian, and everyone else* hope everyone is okay.

I'm technically on thanksgiving break right now... so no school for a week... but... 4 papers and 5 graduate school essays= no real break for me. This is probably the worst time ever to get sick.. boo.

*Hugs Laura* I'm feeling okay , just a bit ....bleh . I'm sorry you're sick :(

*hugs everyone*

Sorry I've not been around, not been feeling that great. How is everyone?

*Hugs Claire*

*hugs everyone*

*Squishes Nicole*

*hugs everybody*

*hugs all* how are you?

I went Christmas shopping today and then went to the gym so i've kept myself busy which has helped my mood. I'm just not looking forward to going to the Prince's Trust tomorrow. The team members keep 'bullying' me.

How is everyone else?

*Hugs Lindsay* I was bullied my whole school and college life and some of my work life too and know how that feels . Is there anyone you can talk to , someone in charge?

*Hugs Sarah*

*Hugs Helen*

*Hugs Lore*

*Night time Hugs my Wardies* :)

Laura, I am convinced we have practically the same life. I have 4 papers, a news story, a creative writing story, and a project to do this week.
Anyway, I'm tired... and off to take a nap before resuming work.

Hi guys
 

Well, I'm back. I'm sorry if you worried about me at all. I know I've been gone a few months. But you'll never guess what! I haven't ... harmed ... myself in ANY way in 1 month, 3 weeks and 3 days. Are you all proud of me? Did you miss me? Do you remember me? :sohappy:

Shad, of course I remember you (lol, wouldn't that be one massive fail if you weren't Shad now)! And well done, that's brilliant! I can't remember how long I've gone, couple of weeks I think. Other than that, how are you?

Hey everyone :)

*Hugs Mark*

:D
 

I'm totally fine! I can't believe you remember my nickname! *is grinning like crazy at the moment* OH! I've just missed talking to you all SO much! I'm so incredibly happy~~~~!!!!!!! *dances* :sohappy:

Well glad to hear it Shad. Any reason you're so happy? Is it a mood or are you happy in general?

Hey Ian *hugs*.

why?
 

I'm happy because I finally have the time to talk to you all again! You have NO idea how much I've missed you! :hehe:

*hugs Shad* good to have you back, and congrats on being free for so long.

*hugs all*

today was tough, yesterday it was transgender day of remembrance and today in manchester there was a vigil.
the names of 650 trans people who have been murdered, that we know off, so many of them were un-identified people and at one place 18 un-identified trans people were all murdered together.
This list didn't include the many trans people who have been abused and who have comitted suicide because of transphobic hate crime.
It was so hard listening to name after name of people who are like me and have been murdered for something that is a part of them.

*Hugs* I'm sorry Oliver, that must have been hard to hear. I kind of know how you feel, being 90% gay/lesbian, a lot of 'my kind' have been killed too.

I'm glad Shad :) We are fantastic, I'm not surprised you're so happy to talk to us. Especially me.

*hugs oliver*

I have to agree with that statement :hehe: you totally are.

I have just noticed I've been standing up this entire time. *Goes and sits in the middle of the ward and stretches out, falling back as she does so* I'm home, guys, I'm home. *curls up on her side* I missed you all. *starts to drift off* night <3 *goes to sleep with fellow wardies*

*hugs Oliver* I don't know what it feels like t be transgender, but I know someone who changed and I like her not more or less than other people, just because she changed.

Well I'm off to bed now. Goodnight ward.

*Curls up next to Shad, for once craving the comfort of physical contact to sleep*

Sorry shadow i forgot to give you a hug. *Hugs Shadow* I'm quite proud of myself :) to save me typing it all out its explained here http://www.recoveryourlife.com/forum...d.php?t=151217
