What's it a recipy for Crimson?

mexican lasagna.
it's mostly vegan friendly and delicious. if you substituted something for the ground chicken you might like to try it... it's quick and easy and should work fine to make a whole pan and put it in serving sizes and freeze some for later dinners. I was considering making 2 and freezing one but only had enough meat for one... maybe next month *nods*

I Could totally adapt that recipie ! We don't really have Taco sauce over here but I could check for an equivilent. Cool Crimson :)

*hugs all*

that looks like a good recipe Crimson, I may adapt it and try it soon.

I had a really hard counselling session today. *hides in a corner*

*Hugs Oliver* You want to talk ?

*hugs Oliver* I'm also here if you want to talk.

I just used a can of tomatoes when I did it, it works just fine, enough liquids and I like having the chunks of diced tomatoes in there :)

*cuddles Oliver*
*hugs Mark and Lindsay*

my counsellor is trying to get me to express my emotions to people who have hurt me and started it through writing. started writing stuff to my father and it was tough remembering all the abuse. brought back hard memories, glad I'm at my friends for a few weeks, as the next few counselling sessions will be the same.

*hugs*

Oh Oliver that sounds rough, I'm sorry you have to go through that , Did you find it helpful at all?

*hugs Mark* I'm not sure really, my counsellor said it will take time to help, but I took the first step today.
how are you Mark?

Bit flat today Oliver if I'm honest , My washing machine smelled smokey and when I got the door open a cloud of smoke came out :S and then One of the hinges came off a cupboard door so I took the door off. This on top of injury being practically my first thought when I woke up...*sigh*

*hugs Mark* that sounds crappy.I hope you can sort your washing machine out soon and I'm sorry your flat, *extra hugs*

*HUGS Oliver*

*Spots and Hugs Louise , Charlie and Felicia :)*

hugs everyone, sorry i am quiet

*Hugs everyone*

It's okay Louise :) *Hugs*

Would everyone think i was crazy if I decided to walk a marathon? lol

Of course not :) I was thinking about doing race for life but decided against it because of the amount of people. :)

Lol , Not really hun but thats quite the distance to walk ! Are you doing it to raise money for a good cause ? Or just for the fun ?
What Marathon do you want to run?

*hugs Mark and Charlie* Thanks guys :)
Well it'd be my first event like that of any kind so jumping in at marathon level is kinda scary (rather than 5k or half marathon) but I walk all the time so I figured walking it instead of running, I should be okay, right? I figured this one for fun (its summer for this one) might try one to raise money for LLS later but last time I tried I got literally no donations so I refused to go to the actual event because I felt crummy for not raising anything at all... :(
I was thinking of doing this one or this one. I want my MIL to go with (she walks a lot too) to keep me company and to keep my mind off the people and the distance... maybe bring an MP3 player to help too if I get new ear buds...
I also figured at marathon level there's medals for finishing so it may motivate me to do another one later lol I like shiny things and rewards!

RUN IT Crimson , get $5000 . and YEY! for shiny things :)hehe

lol i'd never make it running lol

*Night Time Hugs My Wardies*

Of all the songs to make you cry...

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRFHiBW9RE8"]YouTube - Noisettes - Never Forget You[/ame]

Hardly the saddest song in the world...

*hugs Lia* how are you?

Probably will be better if I stop listening to that song. You feeling any better?

*Squishes Lia*

*Hugs Charlie* :)

Guys, do any of you ever feel utterly convinced you're going to completely fail at something, even if there is no rational reason why you would?

*Hugs* All the time Lia. All the time -.-

And are you usually wrong?

That depends. If I stick with it and carry it through then yeah i'm always wrong, I never fail. But sometimes I freak out so bad that I give up, and therefore I was kinda right. Moral of the story-never give up :)

Well on the plus side, I can't give up :) My drama teacher would hang and draw quater me and so would the rest of my group. I'd be really in the **** if I didn't turn up, so I have to,I'm just convinced I will fail despite that I knew my lines, I know where I'm meant to be and when. I know my cues and what to do if something goes wrong. There is absolutly no reason this exam shouldn't go fine, I'm just terrified I'm going to **** up. My group don't want me with them, they haven't said anything but I can tell I'm just an annoyance to them, they wish I was with someone else.

Why do you think that Lia? *hugs*

Lia hun, remember a few weeks ago you were worried about another performance? It went really well though. You just need to beleive in yourself. I know it's hard but I also know You are so strong honey and I know you can do it and do it well :)

It's the same one :) The one a couple of weeks back was for our parents, this one is the real exam, but it's the same piece. I know, there's no reason I'm going to fail so I honestly can't answer your question Crimson, I just feel hopeless, like there's nothing I can do about it, I'm just going to mess up.

Just try and ignore the fact it's for your exam, You have a good imagination, try to imagine you're just doing it for your parents again.

Or no one at all and it's just another rehearsal. When I get on stage I am totally fine. Even if I haven't spoken all the nerves go away. I feel safe on the stage, despite the fact it's what I've been dreading. What's weird though is I know I am being irrational, but I still can't talk myself round.

You're not being irrational at all though. That would scare the crap out of me. Even having to do a 2 minute role play in group today was hard. You will be fine when it comes to it though :)

But I've done drama for years. I'm used to this kinda thing. I just can't shake the feeling I'm going to screw up and let everyone down. Drama is both the bane of my life and one of the best things in it. It's nerve wracking and horribly stressful, but the feeling of europhia if you manage to pull of a piece and do it better than you've ever done it before is one of the best feelings ever.

It's like an adrenaline rush. I don't really have much experience :/

It lasts for days though, espeically if you've been worried about it, it's a great feeling :) I just hope I have that on Friday evening rather than gutted that I ****ed up.
