ugh this cooking thing.
I'm hopeless:)
And here in Armenia It's as important for a girl to be good at cooking as having gone to school.

Hi Fab,

I thought you might like to see my two beautiful little canary babies that hatched just 12 days ago. :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ54V1fAdNw

I have 8 canaries - well, 10 now, with these two little unexpected arrivals! I won't sell them or anything - they will live forever with their parents and my other canaries in one big happy family. :)

They have Eurovision names! ;)

Have a great weekend,

Nikke.

a pomeranian)
that goes well with your idea) we can put a + in front of obtaining a dog this year:)

Ah I've got a doggy in the end
http://s53.radikal.ru/i141/1008/90/2aa11514d0bb.jpg
he's 2 months old in this one, now he's 4 months old and is bigger and a little different:)

Aaaaaah! I didn't think you look like this:))
kinda thought you were different:)
You're beautiful that's what I mean:)))
Thank you for congratulations:) It's a bit late, isn't it?
I just realized that It's more than a year we know each other. it seems it was yesterday you congratulated me on my 17th birthday:)
so much happening these days.
life is beautiful almost as much as it can be:)
how are you?
tell me what was goion on while I was away.

Hi Fab, glad to see you back. :)
If you'd like to see some of my photos - both ESC 2010 and wild birds/blackbird ones, visit my flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/anixi17/

Let me know what you think! :)

Nikke.

This is nice as well...

Hey Fab,
Thanks for your nice comment about my blogs. :) I do wish there were more interesting blogs to read rather than the numerous top ten lists. ;)
I will try and write more, but fear at the moment I would go off on a rant about grown men prepared to tread all over you to get a presspack, and fangirls being generally stupid. ;)
Besides, I have loads of lovely photos to put up as well - photography is one of my passions. :)
Re your question below, here in the UK, female blackbirds are actually brown, and they don't have the yellow ring around the eye, nor the bright yellow beak. So if it's the same size and shape as a blackbird, only it's brown....odds on it's a female. :)

Yes, Paula does come second. I wish I was 30 years younger now !!!

Thanks for the add, Fab! Will try and find a photo of my Blackie for you - he currently has three kids so is kinda harrassed-looking and busy whenever I see him. ;)

Nikke.

Oh Fab... wow! Cica mui guapa!

Eh woops I had a crash! Never got to finish my reply!...; )
Smiley Ryan on f.b. if you're tuned in? or even "ollie burke ryan" on f.b....my kidnapped rebel dogs occasional rant!
Great to see some trickling movements here again! Just found a quite sizeable amount in my pocket, oh I love Spain! Have to go n' see if I can see beyond my nose...sod the rain, friends with beer are here.....x

Hello there, Mergim Tahiri is calling!

Check it out, missing you Fabiana:

http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Mergiiiii/blog/?id=43912

Thanks a lot!

Today's the Final. Where are you, sunshine, WHERE ON EARTH...?!
I've been missing you so much all this time and today somehow the AWFULEST of all. :(((((((((((((((((((

Now I know why you are absent. That was yopu on piano, wasn't it.
GREAT PERFORMANCE. I like it more each time I listen to it.
and guess what, Sue likes it too.

http://www.youtube.com/eurovision#p/search/5/3ipN9aqkRlo

Hi Fab
Hope everythings OK with you.
I will do better with my winning prediction this year, because GERMANY does not have to qualify for the Final.
It will be a close run affair with Azerbaijan and Belgium. Well that's my opinion anyway, but what do I know ???
I know what I like anyhow.

The Romanian song......what can I say... PIANISSIMO....should qualify... but won't win. Nice try, but no cigar !!!

Right, now I've upset you, I'll leave now and wish you the best of luck in the final.

Hi Fab!
Hope you're well?
I see I wasn't the only one who'd gone walk about! Back soon, as I hope you'll be too!
Mike

ah don't know about the baby elephant but a cheburashka T-shirt is something real:)

Knock knock.:))))))) ESC time coming soon! What about your favs, hmm???:)))

Hmm... about Latvian national fruit that you have asked here quite a long time ago... I cannot think of such fruit as a national symbol... but my personal memories about fruit, ...or here it will be - berries... bring me back to a sunny afternoon some XX years ago, when I was about 10 years old...
...we (my family and some friends) were travelling by rubber boats, for two weeks, along our River Venta. Spending nights in tents, cooking on campfires, watching sunrises and sunsets..., nearby the villages somebody went to buy ice creams and we ate them standing in the water, only with head (and one hand) above the water... it was hot July.
And so, once on our way we came across a little island in the middle of the river... we stopped our boats there and had a walk around it... and there we found.... STRAWBERRIES!!!!!!! ... oh, Fab, although I know your attitude to them, I think you would still really enjoy this... nobody had been in this island to pick them... so there were millions... and we simply sat down where it was possible on some green place on the ground and leisurely and relishingly had our strawberry supper from the red berry-carpet around... just sitting, within an armstretch around us, it was possible to gather litres of berries ... we didn't talk... we meditated... listened to birds and bubbling water, and occasional sounds of civilization from both sides of the river... we had our ISLAND for this hour....

....check my new image on profile photo...:D taken a few days ago. (I have never before been so "dark" and "short" :DD) When will you place a new pictureeee??:))))))

Heyy:))))))))) At home at home!:)))) OMG I'm soo sorry... I happened to be in unspeaking and unspeakable mood for quite a long time.:( (health + some especially grrrr... work). I have this disgusting feature of solitary sulking and freezing of contacts when things like the abovementioned bother me too much... I'm returning to life now... oww I still hope from the depth of my heart this will still be a life with your faraway presence...:)))))
Time from time I've been listening on youtube to new Euro entries. Now I start reading blogs here, it's always interesting to know what other think about this or that entry.:) I have my favourites already...;) (oh, since my favourite music pieces very often use to be of ballad-type, so I start liking this "year of ballads" in Eurovision. lol)

Hi Fabiana, Just back from a 3 month sea duty which saw me end up in Portland Main, a lovely part of New England. My job has taken me to the walled city of Valletta the Capital of Malta but I will miss this years contest as I am going to be at Sea again. Like Paul I think the entry standard is very high this year. The UK of course has no chance with the limp wristed effort we have entered. I did have the honour of giving the Maltese entry a peck on the cheek when she did a meet and greet just 5 min walk from my front door hi. Sadly I do not think that song is going anyplace soon either. And Paul, I loved that Sax solo too!!!!

Hi Fabi,
Long time no speak!
For the very first time I've been listening to the songs before the actual nights of the contest. To be honest whilst I thought last year was probably the best yet in terms of how good the best ones were (and that there were so many good ones) I find this year is possibly the best overall because I haven't found a song that I just can't listen to again. I know stuff grows on you but even so there are some of last years that I just skip on the CD even now.
I can even listen to the Nethelands entry which I think is wonderfully hideous (or is that hidiously wonderful!!). First time I heard it I was transported back to the early 70s!!!(not an entirely pleasant sensation!) Lol Boy!... the Dutch really know how to have fun, for sure!!
My top two are Tom Dice for Belgium and Lena for Germany but Me and My Guitar is my favourite...it simply hits the parts the other beers just can't reach!! Loool. I also like the Estonian, Lithuanian, Cypriot and Belarussian entries in particular. The Moldovan entry is quite good especially the sax solo which I think is brill. Turkeys entry is pretty good, the video is quite cool and the Azerbaijan entry is the sort of girls song that could even be commercially successful over here if released at the right time (like a year later to lose the connection...you know what the Brits generally think of the contest...I mean look at this years entry...Oh well at least we're consistant!!) Loooool
Disappointed though that Romania didn't chose Lay Me Down by Zero for their entry.
I see that you move in high circles...just spotted that Jon Lilygreen is the latest on your friends list...does that mean that you're going for Cyprus to win. It's a good song and he does come from Wales so if they win Britland can claim victory by connection...it's clearly the only way we will win!! Looool
What are your Faves??
R u going anywhere interesting this year? I think I'll just stay at home, certainly for the early summer.
If this post appears twice (and is slightly (ever so) in its format) then I'm blaming the site...I wrote it once then clicked into your friends page to check the spelling of Lilygreen (knew you'd pick me up if I got it wrong!) and then clicked back and there it was ...gone!!
Take care anyway Fab :) x

hi,

how do you feel?
i feel ok
it almost the eurovion.
good luck

yours shirley

yeah, I've just seen your birthdate, I'll mark that in my diary.
I've heard Romania's entry, a bit dissappointing as I thought last year's was good.

Hi, thanks for email and birthday greetings.
Regards to twins, well I last saw my twin brothers in 1967 and I only met up with them in 1999, and that's when I learnt about the twins of one of those brothers.
I've heard all the euro entries now. I found it dissappointing this year as there are so many bad ones, and that includes the UK. I also didn't like Finland, Spain, Serbia, Greece, Russia, Netherlands, and Norway.
I did like Turkey, Switzerland, Cyprus, Slovakia, Bosnia, and Denmark. Estonia is ok but it needs some work on it as it lacks something after the build up, maybe it needs alot longer than 3 minutes.
ave you heard them all yet? what you like and hate?
Moldova, I'm not so keen, but it is better than 25 other entries.
I think that Sweden will win.
When's your birthday?
Best regards, Ace.

Ah, not yet. I'm working on it))

Hello There, Mergim Tahiri is calling!
Happy Easter to you Fabiana If I am not late :)
I wish you a good time with your family and your life!
how was these days for you? I hope you are OK... :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiypPK2QJ7c&feature=related

best armenian folk song in my opinion, a nice version as well) that's a pity it' not a full one


how are you? I've thoughts of buying a dog and I'm now busy convincing Dad to buy one. He kinda dislikes any kind of pets.) And what about you? dogs, cats, cows?))

Thanks for the concern Fabiana.
Mum got through the operation, but it will be some time before she recovers fully from the effects of the major surgery.

If I'm slow in replying, it is because I am not getting much time to log onto my PC. So that when I do, I usually have at least an hour's work dealing with my Emails. (Oh what it is to be popular......Not)

If you haven't heard the UK's entry yet, you are not missing much. It is what I would describe as a "safe" song. It won't win, but it will probably be in the top ten.

Mind you, it may do better, if all the songs are as ordinary as the few I have already heard. Nothing is standing out yet. How about you ? Have you picked a winner yet ????

that's not only connected with thoughs of motherland and the like..it's just that apricots were here from ancient times

well armenians have such things...apricots, pomegranates...kind of symbols..armenians even call the orange colour "colour of apricot".

I hate our entry, though I think it'll do well(was it "well" or "good"? I seem to start to forget english:) )
apricot? yeah, a national fruit. :)
I like russian entry(the only one I've heard so far)
the guy makes me smile, he has some better songs though.

Hi, I sent you email but I don't see it anywhere so I don't know that you got it.

I like this one very much:)

Hello there, Mergim Tahiri is calling! Fabiana, it seems like you are having a brake this year and that is sadly for me! I miss your blogs cause the only original person for me in htis eurovision community is you. I hope you will return and write your original blogs! Have a great day! xo Mergiiiii

ah, weird
I'm either utterly miserable or quite happy
but it's not the first months of the year. I've always been this way.
I'm so happy the winter is over too(though what we had here can hardly be called winter)

Hi Fabiana, how are you?
Villa are in the semi-finals of the FA cup but will face Chelsea.
I haven't heard any eurovision 2010 entries as yet but I will do so soon.
Uk will be voting on their entries this week..
I hope to hear from you soon.
Ace.

Hi Fab
Long time no speak.
It's great news about Nelly's exam passes and other wonderful experiences she's had (Aah, how I wish I was 17 again - trouble is my memory doesn't stretch that far back yet. Perhaps when I become senile I'll remember !!!!)

My Op went OK and I'm fully recovered.
My mother (88) has just gone through major surgery and appears to have come through it OK. Although her recovery time is expected to be lengthy.
Working and visiting hospital several miles away is taking up just about all my time. Hence my absence from this site.
I am trying to catch up with Eurovision by ploughing through the various country's selection shows. Unfortunately I keep falling asleep before the end of each show and don't know who the winners are. I was impressed by the Ukraine singer though. I don't know which song won, but the one's I heard him sing were well performed. He has a great voice.

I hope you are well, and that you start blogging again soon. They are great entertainment....and I mean that most sincerely (to quote Hughie Green). Who's he ???? She says. - Bye

aha, the same to you...
it's a big deal here too)
I was reading our blogs here.
and couldn't believe so much time has passed you know:)

Em... Am I here or what!)))
I passed all my exams just wonderful..))
Emir Kusturica visited Armenia and I went to his and no smoking orchestra concert two days ago and had a great fun.
And I also fell in love:)
what else happened during this time?:)))
nothing special, besides this))

how are you? tell me some news:)

Hi Fabiana! How era you? :)

I entered Natalia Barbu in this international song contest. She qualified for the final which was good, but did not do too well in the final.
Hello to everyone in Romania.
My football team, Aston Villa have just reached the Carling League Cup Final, and will play either Manchester City or Manchester United, at Wembley in the Final.; So, I'm, happy, roll on Oslo in may.
Ace, UK.

What were you doing in Britland ???

With this I willingly approve the idea of planting a new tree in my happy garden. I have chosen the site - it is a nice place between the Bush of Smiles and the Stream of Laughter. So, come across the Bridge of Friendship and then along the Path of Warm Communication, until you get there. (And don't mind any potential Joke Lizards that may be rushing around and pulling your leg on your way.:)

Lovely to hear she impressed you! ...now that's some achievement ...high 5!.... Check out Damien Rice....Lisa was his backing singer for years. She was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize this year......alas, not to be!
I'm so sick of alcohol, and smoking and so hungover again and NY on Fri...OMG help!

pff, not salda but "salad"

A very late reply to what Latvians (should) cook for Christmas. As to beliefs, on the table there must be a pig's snout (i.e., head or part of the head of a pig - but the snout symbolizes ploughing the ground. Then also peas and beans - and you must eat ALL iof them that are on the table, so that you will not have to cry in he next year (so they symbolize tears). Gingerbread. Fish (so that there be much money). Round bisquits - so that there be much of the sun. Pies with bacon and onions. And yes, you must eat NINE times on Christmas Eve so that the next year is rich!:D
We made pies, gingerbread, pork chop and a salda from nine ingredients.:) And we ate ONE time...... it means, we started and did not stop eating all he evening...:DD

Thanks for the birthday wishes - and the same to you! I had a very quiet birthday.
Now a birthday song for you

Hmm... We have 00:00 here already...

Hey hey hey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY O YOUUU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUU!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR FAAABIII, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUU!!!!
:****
P.S. ...and a happy new year!!!:)))))))))))

Hi Fabi....I hope you have a beautiful Birthday.....and Happy New Year as well xx (one for each...oh and a biiiiiiiiiiiig hug) :))))))))))))))))))))))

I am in the process of getting ready for our New Years Eve celebrations. So I will wish you a Happy Birthday in advance (and a hope of many many more).
I cannot decide what to wear either now.
The choice is Fancy Dress (no theme) or very dressed up (Tux).
I'll probably opt for the Tuxedo as my stand-by costumes (from previous Pantomime appearances) are getting a little too small for me now.
What would you choose ????

have a happy New Year, my dear! and...well we'll leave "happy birthday" congratulations for a little later:))it's only 4 hours left here!

First of all, I can't remember whether or not I thanked you for the carol. It was lovely...Thankyou.
Secondly, wear what you like. I know better than to try and choose a ladies wardrobe. You will make the right decision in the end, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that it was all your own work.
Thirdly, my snowman.........He was gay.
All his partners refused to be shaped like a female. Every lump added, just fell off (This isn't helping the story very much is it !!!)
Anyway, he wasn't lonely. He had three other mates...well acquaintances... Two other flat chested snow people called Holly and Mistletoe, and an ugly looking cat, who left his calling card all over the back of my snowman every time it came into my garden. I christened the cat "Shoo you *#?~*!"
The putrid yellow spray that Shoo you *#?~*! left on my snowman's back, had a tendency to melt lumps out of his back. It also left a not too pleasant smell.
This was one of the reasons why he was not looking too well when I wrapped the scarf round his neck, which resulted in his head falling off.
The annoying thing about this episode is that I had christened Holly and Mistletoe, but I hadn't yet given my Snowman a name.....I'll just have to call him Peter Peedon.
I can't think of a title for the story at this stage. But the category of the book will definitely be in the "Shoo Done it" bracket.

Hope you've recovered from the festivities. We've still got snow, but the snowman I made on Christmas Eve is looking a bit sad. I wrapped a scarf round his neck last night, but he looks even worse this morning.....His heads fallen off. Ah well ! Nothing lasts forever.
Time to concentrate on ESC again. I believe Armenia are due to choose their entry today sometime. So I'll look forward to that.
Don't drink too much on New Year's Eve.

Ok here's my contribution to the carols

Oh....I nearly forgot.....the favourite Xmas song...well I suppose it has to be
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OAUs0rcsA4
which gets played every year in Britland since they wrote it in 1973 and it tends to drive you nearly insane but when you hear this version
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn37nR4j7XM
you realise that although a very simple song it's good enough to be sung several different ways....so that makes it good in my head!! Loooooool

Hey Fabi....it snowed here last night and I went for a walk in it and threw a few snowballs at my shed!! Sad but strangely satisfying!! :)))))) but it's all gone now :(....at least it DID snow!! so we've all seen snow this year! :)))) How's the mulled wine going?? Is it ready yet 'cos I'm dying to taste it!! :D

Hey, sunshine:))))) Your trip to childhood enlivened as I read it... with music in the background i read and saw a cheerful group of persons, and a small kid with biiiig eyes in the centre (of course in the centre, where else lool).:)))) Find an untraditional letter from me in your e-box ..:))) White Christmas Fab!!!!

I've just watched a very nice film, I'm quite happy even without snow now, but if you can do smth about it, I'd be very grateful:)

Sorry to put pressure on you, but Nellie wants SNOW....... or have your powers been exhausted ????

Well Fab
Your powers have again been wonderous (Im not sure if that's a word or not !!!) - You've not only made it snow in Romania, but in YORKSHIRE as well.
How do you do it ?????

Anyway, thanks, it's the best birthday present I've had for years. I love the snow, and all around my house is a luxurious blanket of white. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

Got to go now, Sue is calling. I think she has a snow shovel ready and waiting for me.

Fabi, is it still snowing in Romania?? The weather report looks good for it!! If it is ....then is it 'sticking'...are the snowflakes the right sort..big fat ones that make lovely thick 'carpets' ??

Hi Fab, my real false tree is up complete with lights :P and a very special friend gave me some beautiful decorations which I've put on it :))))) The best one is a very small Angel inside a star shape which is now sitting proudly at the top of the tree!!!! :))) I love it!!! :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) What's your tree like?? What are your favourite decorations???

No, I am copying this better here, in your (virtual) home:
Oww I see (about Christmas tree).:DD But you say "this year",does it mean you still used to put up a real tree years before?? We've always had a live tree at home... poor whales...:((

Hey Fabi, I'm not sure what he's singing about but this is a real good 'toe-tapper'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHSrnyIWudI
and yes I actually really do like it and before you call me cheesey ....I like cheese!! so there!! Looooooool ( Oh how I like a good Looooooooooooool !!)

Some songs are the nicest things:)

Somehow I feel the need to state that I know that 'hear' is spelt that way and not 'here' as I wrote in reply to you....not that I think that you would have taken great enjoyment in pointing that out to me it's just that I KNOW you would!! ...... guess I'm sounding pretty desperate myself now ...huh?? Loooooooooooooool

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG9rsTV9eAo

Hey, here's the big fat liar, and witch, coming (me).:DD I am smiling till cramps while reading what you all write there... here and there...:)))))))) I'll come in the evening to speculate about this winter... Of course I miss our virtual tea parties.:)))))))))))))))

How's the Dykeenies going? I should have worked out how to put my 'false' tree up by sometime mid next summer.....it looks like a fat opera singer at the moment so that's not quite how I remember it!! Looooool Have a fun day Fabi xx

Max Fab!
Ce mai faci? M-am trezit azi vorbind româneşte! Este uimitor faptul că, sau ce! Nu pot opri să mă joc cu jucăria noul meu! (Google traducator) Într-o zi am franceză a doua zi am spaniolă şi acum eu sunt român! Sper ca ai inteles pe mine!
Am putea scrie cateva poezii noi şi de a fi cu adevărat europene! Ce crezi?
Dragostea de la Dublin .....

Thanks Fabiana, I can feel the vibes already. What a powerful chick you are !!!
I'll now have a sneak preview on Nelly's Profile, if that's OK.
Bye for now, Oh Powerful One.

Hi Fab, I've got the Euro Fever building up again. How about you ?
I may even come up with a poem, I'm getting so excited.
Long time no speak. How are you ? Not too overworked I hope.
I'm going for some surgery on Friday, and I may be off work for 2 to 4 weeks depending on how it heals. So be prpared for some mega correspondence ( I might even teach myself how to send things from one website to another - I'm still in the 19th Century when it comes to technology - that reminds me, I'll must sharpen my quills and fill up my inkwells !!!) I can't even get the hang of cutting and pasting - except when I'm decorating, of course.
Anyway, I've rambled on too much, yet again. It's time for my bed - I'm on stupid 0430hrs starts at work this week until I go to the hospital on Friday. They've reserved a bed for me at 0730hrs. I'll be able to have a lie in before I go to bed !!!

HI my dear, dear Fab! How has winter started for you? We'll do smth about it:)) I've just remembered the book club of yours and all the other things and I really miss the time

well in fact that's not quite hay,just can't find a better word)))my life is a single interesting thing now:)

Hey Fabi, I miss you, don't work too hard!! :)

I'll try you out with this one - a great version - if a little different, of a rockin' song
http://www.sbs.com.au/rockwiz/past/156/Penny-Ikinger
The singers on this show don't normally sing together - they are just brought together for the show see what happens! They are usually fantastic.

Hi Fab!
I see your Euro page is still bustling along nicely! Love from Dublin..
MIke

A new photogallery pending.:) We have the "Festival of Light - "Riga is beaming" in Riga now, until tomorrow - and tomorrow is our state holiday - there was proclamation of the Republic of Latvia in the year 1918. I'll tell about this light festival a bit more in the nearest days.

Do you know Fab, sometimes life can be soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!! :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

OK - another Neil Young song!

Great version. We are so lucky to have a classy TV Show like this!

(sitting, sipping virtual cocoa and enjoying Flor-de-Lis):)))))

what do I do to relax? I spend time with my friends, we lie on hay in the secret place of ours near our university listening to music or playing some stupid game:))when I want to relax at home I drink tea with chocolate and once again listen to music...

Hiiii Fabiana here it's Fabio :o)

:)

By the way, I did gate crash your party and had a romantic interlude with Alsou. You certainly know how to throw a great party.!!!!

Nice to hear from you again.
Hope your travels have been fruitful.
Regarding the visit of Ian. Unfortunately, no photos were taken. The episode is imprinted in my memory. though. So until I grow senile, I'l have the pictures in my head.
When I visit my son again in Queensland. I've promised to look Ian up. I'll take my camera then. So you'll only have to wait two more Eurovisions for the pictures.
So to quote Take That -" Have a Little Patience".

So how was Italy?

Sometimes life makes us do a somersault. Mine was unexpectedly and needlessly painful, and after I've grounded again, I don't feel having jumped much higher than my ass. I hope very much, your landing will be on a much higher place.
(looking upwards)

Stranger calling.
Just to update you, Ian found me, but I was out at work (if that makes sense).
We had a telephone chat while I was at work and he was sat in my home. How wierd is that !!!
We met up later and had a couple of drinks at the hostelry where he was staying.
Ian is on his way to the Potteries tomorrow to have a look at the Wedgwood Heritage Site.
That's the news bulletin out of the way.
How are you ??
I'm fine (over worked and underpaid) and getting over the fact that my team failed to qualify for the play-offs.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes
Mick xxx

Thanks for deleting! :)) Have a lovely time in Italy :) Thanks for remembering and stay safe :))) X

...................I'm missing you already :)...........

Hey Fab, enjoy Ancona and don't forget to breathe,......promise?? Noapte buna Princepesa :)

Okay, so how many crocodiles do you actually know then!!?? I know loads!!:))))))))

Sooooooo, what do you want to talk about tonight (nudging you gently) wake up Fab just for a few minutes at least Looooooool

Yes you are!:))))))))))) Quick make some coffee, I just fancy a cup (buy watch out for the crocodiles by the milk, they like to hide behind milk LOL)

Phew!!!!!!! You're back! Left some replies to your posts at my place. So, what are the dilemmas you've been facing Fab? Can you allow yourself to say?? Are you still there???

Te simti bine printesa? Asculta, Voi fi acasa in aceasta seara de 2330 tau, daca ti-ar placea sa stea de vorba cu mine??

Hellooooooooooooooooooooo is there anybody out there???????????? :)

Fab? This isn't funny anymore you're scaring me now, please talk to me:(( :))

Good morning Fabby, gbh I hope you had a nice sleep :) You must’ve been very very tired to be finally, finally ‘almost’ out of words! :)))))) Thanks for the Glenn Miller (a favourite of mine since I was a kid) Perfect!! And, no we don’t need many words to understand each other :)
I think that this is nice to start a day with:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LThpPGHGaXo
Don’t, it will and I hope you are )

make a wish tonight
all the stars are out
its out of your hands but not out of reach

Oh.... I forgot to say.....I like our long 'talks'. Noapte bună, principesă.

Hmmmmm the art of answering a question by not quiet answering it is quite terrifying as well you know. :)

Looooooool Isn't it saaaaad to see a thought process on the move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah....OK ....I don't even know why I said 'is that it??' Now THAT IS why you terrify me !!!! Loooooooooooooool

Do you know what?? Most of the time I am incredibly dim and true to form I've not disappointed myself ...........Terrified of you but not running away ..........is that it??

I think it's lack of sleep but then again 4 pints of Guinness just might have had something to do with it!!!

Na Na Na Na Na, I've got the Dykeenies CD Nothing is Everything and it's 'pretty damn good I don't mind telling you'.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygiKFoD5Mqw&feature=related
I need more of this!!! Looooooooooooooooooooooool

Hey, make sure you tell us the best things about Italy and your weekend, which I hope you enjoy. :)))))))

Do you do it in a dress!!!!!! Loooooooooooooool

Yeah Badiu! How doooooo you do it?? Brill song and vid :))))))) I think of you as having this little cloth bag with a leather drawstring and every now and then , with an enigmatic smile, you put your hand in it and pull out something magic!! :)))))))))))))))))

(with happy tears after watching my musical card)
Ohh Fab..... how can you be so amazingly unique... how can you always find such wonderful, appealing and inspiring ways of encouragement...

Oh and try this next(if it works) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y9aKqawdUQ&feature=related

What we're watching is on my post and if you think for a moment that I'm desperate to explain that there were some typing errors then I need to tell you that I'm a bigger man that!!!! :)))))))))))

Poor Jinxy! Let's drink for the peace of it's saul.................You're a Murderer,Fab:)))

You're good!! So good!!! Is there anything you don't know!!!!!?? Loooooooooooool Yeah well the cat was evil but I'm stuck with having to find a replacement and we know where that leads!! Thanks mate!!!!! :DD

Thanks Fab, that was very thoughtful of you but it's not actually my cat!! I'm looking after him..... sorry, I was looking after him for my neighbour Jack Byrne (maybe you've heard of him). The cat was called Jinxy. Now it's not that you killed him that's a particular problem, I could've explained that away but I'm struggling to explain why on earth someone should skin him and nail the pelt to my shed door!!!!! You really do need to get that 'Warrior' side of you under some form of control!!!!! Loooooooooooooooool

I hope this is not true but one of those ambiguous expressions in English I probably don't know... "I killed your cat"... owww...;((((

Noapte bună Fab, and thanks for my present!:))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hey hallo:)))))) I am just terrible I know... workworkwork, and a bit of ailments.... and every evening before falling asleep I said to myself: "Tomorrow by all means I'll rush to give a biiiig hug to my Eurofamily... !" But the situation (with work) I am in, is really dark and dangerous... but I know I''ll kill the dragon, I''\m an expert in dragon killing.... only a couple of heads left...
Now I read and listen to everything you''ve been doing here, dancers... :))))

Bună dimineața Fab If you’re really worried I WOULD go to Riga. Armed with my photo of Anna’s church I’m sure I would be able to find her in three days. I estimate the mission would take four days in all, the extra day being so I could buy a good quality detective’s coat and a sinister looking hat!! LOL
Maybe she’s just gone away for a few days to take more photos?................it’s possible.................maybe?? But, if she’s in a dark place then we need to shine some light around, what do you think, Liderul mea?. Maybe if we just made nuisances of ourselves on her profile she would come back?? Shall we go there until she does??! :))))))))))))
Oh and thank you for the lovely dance, sorry I stood on your toes!! :D

Do you know you have a really unique way of saying things!! This is now not a 'victory' I feel I should have won :DD You're the only person I know who can eat humble pie and make the other person feel guilty!!!! Loooooool I'm off to whip myself now with fresh spaghetti as a penance!! DOH!!! Thanks Nel for the support I really do appreciate it but it's Fab;s calm, cool reply that scares me!!! What cunning plan does she have??? It's the words 'this battle' that are ominous. The whole thing's a big bag of spanners now and it's all my fault!!!! Looooooool Anyway. anyone know how to get hoof prints out of bedclothes?????

Wow after this one I can't help being on Paul's side, Fab...Maximus, Maximus the Merciful.LOL

Drat!! so you saw through my 'snowy' picture plan !! :))))

Hi Fab, see you had a nice day bouncing on a springy mat (can't spell trampolining), which is nice! Now I'm just wondering if it was something I said as you've mentioned things like 'war' and 'killer instinct' and I'm also reminded of the words "I hear you're kicking ass across the board ...........just in time to save the world from being taken over, you're a warrior" which I know fits you perfectly so I want you to know that you don;t scare me one bit ( two bits yes......and actually you terrify me but I'm not going to let you know that!!) so ....yeah Nick Cave it on sister!!! No matter how you 'destroy' me I will always have that beautiful, beautiful memory of you clawing at your door to get to the computer!!! Loooooooooooooooooooooool You can never take that away from me :DDDD Anyway I am Gluteus Maximus and I shall have my revenge in this post or the next!! ..................................................Do you know I really don't know why I do this !!!! I'm scared to go to bed now in case I wake up with a horse's head next to me!!! :DD

hey I've been doing my homework for a couple of hours and haven't even done the quarter of it! they can't seriously think I'll do it all! I'm here to get a permission to go to bed!(yeah i'm going to bed whatever you say:)) Good night to you:)))

Hey Fab, how's things in your world?? I wasn't too cruel was I ? :))))))))))))))))

Hey! I feel guity for not being here more often, but I seem to need 26 hours a day now)) how's your health?

G'day Fabiana. I'm off over to England for the next 5 weeks, tracing some more of my family history. Will be an expensive trip - but hey - I'll have a really great time too. I'm going to try to find Michael while I'm there too - can't be too hard to find him can it??
Anyhow - thought I would leave you some music to look at and listen while I'm gone. The first one is from my favorite TV show and the guy is an absolute legend of Aussie music. Its an old Neil Young song
http://www.sbs.com.au/rockwiz/past/347/Paul-Kelly
The next one is also from the same show. An AC/DC song and I doubt they could do it better
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgbL2pLaQqI
and try this one - a new song by an Aussie girl and doing very well
http://www.youtube.com/user/katemillerheidke?blend=2&ob=1
Have a good time. Play nicely while I'm gone.
See ya!

Good morning Fab, hope you feeling even betterer!! Thought these might make you smile (even if in bewilderment!)

Hi,
I've had a look at your fave songs over the past ten years. Interesting. I will have to update mine sometime. I have been busy with a holiday, the children, and OGAE ROW newsletter. I have organised a eurovision get together in Bratislava on sunday 11th october 2009 at 14.00 hours at the Bar at the Hotel Baronka. All are welcome.
Ace

heeeeeey!!! I'm dropping by quickly to say hi, yet again lol. And a reminder that I love you madly... there, a public display of love!!! looooooool

hey you're already the second person who got ill these days and he also told me he enjoyed it:))) I got angry with him after he did so:))
Yeah keep calling it "school":))

Heeey a soar throat?!:( Shame on you Fab! :)))drink a lot of tea and eat jam and smile..it always helps:)))
after a week of classes I already love my university! I seem to be too happy these days:)))

I've just read your comment on Anna's site. Did you say 'lacks air or hair!!!?' Gosh the things you say sometimes just turn into blades!!! ...............I know ........ you don't have to tell me ......I've kicked the arse out of it haven't I !!! :))))))))))))))))))))

:P :P

Yeah, but it's beautiful!!!!! Looooool. Do you know what I like most about you Fab, you have a certain way of complimenting a person!!:)))) And yes you are messy 'cos you're style is quite selective but you're mind is rather reckless, bit like picking up trash in a large pair of shorts!!! :)))) What would we all do without you!! (blimey, last time was bad enough!!! LOL

Fabianaaaaaaaaaaa! (I'm singing not shouting.LOL). How are you? What were you doing? Have I missed much? It's autumn and I love autumn!!!!!:)))

(in a doctor's voice)
And so, how is our cougher and sneezer feeling today, mm?
:)))))))))

Ahhh, the ‘end of the world 2012’ so you’ve heard the Olympics are to be held in London !! I love it when ‘the words you write turn into knives’….crippled with envy……CRIPPLED WITH ENVY !! …..yeah ok , I’ll give you that one:DD But I didn’t get where I am today without knowing a thing or two…..you’re going somewhere hot near the sea, aren’t you !! I knew it ! All those years of training paying off, once again! BAAAAH !!!
Btw…….I don’t suck up to anyone!!! Well ………there’s you and Anna and Nelly of course but apart from that ……no one! ……… my Boss naturally …………………hmmm….then there’s that big bloke down the road…………………
Anyway Agent Badiu, I really do hope your disguise gets better, honey lemon tea ….hmmmm sounds so good I think I’ll stand in the garden with my feet in bucket of ice just so I can get the maximum enjoyment out of a cup of that stuff. :)))))))))))))

Oww, PPPPPaul's...

I wanted to copy/paste here what I have written in Nelly's profile but then I remembered how watchful you are.. so, ... to put it differently... if you wish to have a look of a compendium about Latvia, please look what I have left on paul's profile... (and I think, in that gallery there will be at least SOME pictures you haven't seen yet...:DD)

Oooo yes Fabiana - I did like it. And I can hear the The Doors especially at the beginning! And I promise I will share some more! Promise! I need to be educated.
Haven't seen Michael for ages. I hope he reappears soon - I'm off toe England in a week and a bit and I need to get his phone number or address before I head off over there.

Ok Badiu nothing gets passed you does it? Looooooool. Now I was going to start writing excuses for my lack of originality (ouch ! that gauntlet you threw at me stings) but I’ve thought better of it ‘cos I won’t win, will I :))))))
Yes, I have been undercover. I’ve been posing as a ‘hip young thing’ which I can tell you wasn’t the easiest mission I’ve been on, as I’m sure you will appreciate, but keeping the victims in a state of almost permanent drunkenness apparently has helped a lot. So much so that they seem to have overlooked the fact that I’m almost twice their age and started to invite me to various ‘cultural’ events.
The downside is that I have to fake my way through conversations about various X Box games, almost constantly express a huge liking for drinking ‘flaming sambucas’ (which incidentally is not a wise thing for anyone with facial hair to attempt) and feign interest in several reality shows. So far so good, but I’m going to have to watch out for the late nights, they’re killing me, these people regularly stay up after 7pm!!! :)))))))))
Anyway, just got back from a music fest in a neighbouring county and I have to say it was really good. After spending an hour in a queue for what I thought was the bar I discovered that it was actually for the toilets. Doh!!! When I did find the queue for the bar I discovered that I now needed the toilet!! Double DOH!!!
Anyway , there were several queues for a large beer tent and each queue was so long that I estimated that it would take 5 years to get to the counter! Effectively you had to decide you wanted a drink before you’d actually decided you wanted a drink. Second problem was there were so many people smoking some odd herbal stuff that passive inhalation made me get to within 4 people of the bar and suddenly decide ‘who needs beer anyway!’ A passing friend managed to hurriedly push me back into place and luckily the effects wore off seconds later. With queues that long I thought that it would be sensible to buy enough to prevent further queuing. Funny thing though, I never thought that trying to drag a wooden pallet with 64 litres of beer on it 600 metres through ankle deep mud was going to be so difficult. Hmmmmm maybe the effects hadn’t worn off!! Lol.
A good time was had by all and at least my cover is not yet blown. Btw the best Bands were The Dykeenies, Ocean Colour Scene, The Zutons (they’re from Liverpool) and The Doves. Somewhere in their sets they did these songs (sometimes not quite to the same exacting standards but it was live music and it was good)

Ok, I'm here with my bottle of chilled Chenin Blanc, ripe Camembert, Pork and Herb Somerset sausages and a lovely Rocket salad with my special salad dressing (secret recipe). Liked the Jeff Buckley and came across his version of Lilac Wine so here's my favourite version of that song:

Nice choices for the Eurovision btw Wings of Love - how to sound, look and be cool and old. My Star- say no more, Blue Cafe's Love Song -brilliant, little echoes of Joe Le Taxi, Men at Work and Mambo No 5, superb. o where' the gils dancing? :DS

Yep! Sounds great to me. I like your choices from 2000 - particularly Solo and Wings of Love! Really liked them - still do

it was beautiful!!!
thanks for sharin, Fab!
Some wonderful thing happened to me today! I'm amazed and happy...And how are you?
hey you know I may be away for a couple of days, I'm going to another town and I don't know if there'll be Internet there...

(enters the fabulous party place with jars of pickled cucumbers, mushrooms, olives, chilli etc... for anyone's liking)
So, you're back.:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Then I'll just sit down, listen to music, and smile at everybody.... for a while..:DD Some time I'll also speak of course.:loool
P.S. And let us drink for the right choices! In shops, and in life in general.:)))
(Anna starts choosing from sausages....:)

hey there is still one important thing I forgot to say...I missed you!:)))

fine I'm staying but I'll still have to go to my profile from time to time to remove the spider webs...:))
That Lithuania's performance was wonderful especially the moment that guy started dancing:)))

Bine ati venit inapoi printesa (my translation service tells me that that means welcome back princess so let me know if it didn't !! lol). As you will see there has been a certain amount of 'fretting' going on but never mind that now here's a quick contribution to the party:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-fAe7SwdqE
I loved this one the first time round!!:))
Now I've got some goat and herb sausages in the fridge somewhere so I'm just off to find them and have a look at some of your choices from the blog. Coca lumina anyone??

somebody said "party" here?!LOL

P. S. I'm moving, I'm moving...already packing my things, Fab...hmmm...sorry for the mess... that pieces of pizza on the floor and the empty fridge...you appeared unexpectedly and I didn't have time to tidy up.LOL

to my crows: we're going home guys!

Sooooo? What were you doing all this time?

Hurreeeyyyy!!!!!!:))))))))) Thank you, dear messenger-pidgeon for good news and so nice to hear yourself again!:)))))))))))))

All work and no play - that's bad!

Heeeeey Rodrigo! So glad to see you're back! and glad to finally hear from Fab! I hope all that work won't make her too tired!

Hello everyone, after a long long long time I come back, and I have a message from Fab. She says that she's been extremely busy with work, and that she feels terrible of not being able to log in, but that she expects that soon enought she'll be able to be back (Anna, she felt particularly bad about not being able to answer your emails).

As for me, I know I always say I'm not leaving for such a long time anymore and I always do, but now, without promisin, I'll try to be here more often!!!

Nell, French isn’t too difficult, look at me I started learning it at school 40 years ago and I can actually string several sentences together now. Ok, they’re the same sentences and have to be said whilst carrying a town map and a confused look but hey it’s progress. The French can be difficult sometimes and I think it’s the ‘old enemies’ thing. They can smell an Englishman at 600 yards (sorry that should be in metric so I’ll convert it ……600 metres) and seem to enjoy our bumbling Hugh Grant impersonations. At times if I’d had hair I would have been signing autographs!!:D You know one place liked it so much the same people did the Coca Light thing to me twice in the same day!! TIP OF THE DAY: if you ever go to Paris and take a trip on a double decked open topped Car Rouges bus then if sitting upstairs sit on the left side ‘cos if you sit on the right you’ll end up with a face full of tree branch at several points on the journey! By the end of mine the left side looked like the tourists they were but us guys on the right looked a Viet Cong ambush party, bits of tree sticking out everywhere!! :DD Anyway I’m sure that Fab won’t mind, she started it!! :p

Faaaaaaaaab! can't you see that there are quite a few ppl going crazy if you dont appear soon enough:))))the madhouse is waiting for all of us...LOL hey no I have a better idea we'll all go to Romania to your house-warming party:)))))))))

Cuckoooooo!!!!! Faaabb!!!:))))))))
Empty fridge and nice stories are waiting for you here!!:))))))))

Hah! That seems to be quite a nice holiday! Even hough France isn't the country of my dreams you describe everything in such a way that I even envy you a little...Haven't I told you that having bath in kitchen sinks is my hobby?LOL It always seemed to me that French is extremely difficult...so don't worry about your accent, if they don't understand you it's their probem:))))
P. S. as far as I know Fab she'll be happy to see that we had a little fun at her place

Won't be room for her here when she gets back - looks like everyone else has taken over the place! hahahaha

Hi chaps, managed to ‘borrow’ my laptop back from my nephew so voici mon petit reportage de Paris. Saw lots of beautiful architecture, went to the Musée d’Orsay again which is in itself a fantastic building. Did a lot of walking round the back streets which, with it being August (holiday season in France), were really quite deserted. The trip from the Airport was quite simple RER train to Gare Du Nord then the Metro, which seemed daunting at first but after another few trips, later on, was amazingly easy. Some of the stations are like stepping back into the 1940s. Went to Montmartre and had a very nice lunch in the Café featured in one of my favourite films, Le fableaux destin d’Amélie Poulain (it’s where she worked), and sat and watched the world go by.
Hotel was ok but I found a better one 1 street away for next time. In fact it was the hotel I meant to go to but because they both had similar names I booked the wrong one. DOH!!! The room in my hotel was quite small and the bath was the smallest I’ve ever seen. The last time I had a bath in something that small I was two years old and it was called the kitchen sink!! Anyway, space is at a premium in Paris or so the family of three I found in my wardrobe told me. Had a walk along the Paris Plage, that’s the side of the river Seine which they turn into a beach every August. They had several ‘mist’ sprays set up and seeing as the weather was hot and sunny it was great to cool down by walking through them.
The following happened several times though:
Me: Un Coca light s’il vous plait
Them : Un Coca ?
Me : Un Coca Light
Them: Coca Normal?
Me : Non Coca Light (pointing to sign in the window advertising this drink).
Staff then have a brief discussion whilst giving me quizzical looks before producing a bottle of said Coca Light (it was written like that on the label).
I then asked, in French, what they called it in France to which they replied:
Coca Light.
I swear that what we were all saying sounded exactly the same to me but it must be my accent!!
Sense and sensibility.

She IS coming back...I'm just not sure when...two weeks have passed...I think she'll return one of these days.

EEEk....oh the cob webs, the dust, and the eerie silence......Faboulicious come thither!

She's is never coming back as we know her. She will be radiantly sun kissed beyond almost all recognition!
I think she's due...Could be wrong though. . . how mysterious? Umm where could she be? Was that room truly vacant?

Does anybody know when Fab is coming back?

all that bottles make me dizzy!LOL
The video is wonderful, isn't it? I keep watching it all the time:)))

...:)) watched video with Constant Big Smile...:))

I was dreaming about New Year today you know!:)))

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A9pJH0uxe4&feature=channel

for my Anon. Alcoh. friends!LOL

(imagining how all of us - Anon. Alcoh. - are sitting under some exotic tree in Greece or in Italy, drinking Martini and talking nonsense... nice...:))))

I'm back! The South Pacific was sooooo good! The water was great, the snorkeling was out of this world and the food and everything about the cruise was fantastic! I put on 1kg - and I went to the gym on 5 of the days! Others put on about 1.5kg, so maybe the gym bit did help me a bit.
That was my fourth cruise - can't wait for the next one. Still - off to England in about 5 weeks - but I'll bet the weather won't be as good there - and I'll probably spend a lot more money there too! Still I am looking forward to tracing a few family ties. I must contact Michael and see what he is doing when I am over there.

Hey! Martini is the thing that unites us!LOL I like it too! And what about Greece? wonderful place to visit, isn't it?

So I see I'm the only one of us three, two-week-orphans, who hasn't told here about places where I'd like to go... Strange as it is, it's also Italy, but first of all - Israel... for religious motives of course. And - UK.

Well now you've asked I like red wine particularly Merlot, and any red wine by people such as Georges Dubouef, and white wine such as Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. I like most Continental beers and meths and petrol !! :))
Places to go.....I'd like to go to Italy particularly the 'heel' bit 'cos not many people go there. I'm told. Prague, I've always wanted to go there just, if nothing else, to stand on a certain corner and imagine (it's a WW2 thing!).
Oh and I also like Martini, it reminds me of the 70s!!:))

Oh yeah, I'd willingly share... if you appeared there a little bit earlier... However, I prefer Martini, so if there's beer here, then yes, I can still share.:DD
And what will Paul tell about drink favourites to other Anonymous Alcoholics?:))

Yeah Paul, she got that first! we are left without wine! Or maybe Anna will share with us? No favourites, I prefer beer, plainer drink, but anyway... that's like a Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting.LOL
I'd like to visit Italy and Cuba and Prague....
to the rude crow: Haven't I told you to be more polite? put the chicken back to the fridge and stop circling over Anna's head!:)

(staggering further in the darkness)
...what did Paul say... third cupboard on the left....

(...midnight.... Anna tiptoes into Fab's kitchen... hungry)
... aha, what we have here?... let's taste some chicken... oww, strange... why is it not IN but ON the fridge...?
....WAAAA!!!!!! Nell!!!! Your crow was RUDE!!!!!!

Nel, what places would you like to go to??

Well I'll have to bring my search techniques into play here ........mmmmm...... third cupboard on the left or failing that try the wine rack above the cupboards!!:))) Do you have a favourite?:)

do you think we can find the place where Fab keeps her wine?:)))

I was but I suspect that it's too late now!!:)) DOH!!!!

Hi, Paul! Glad to see you too!:)))

(pointing to the plate in front of me on the table and sending a sausage right into my mouth)Are you looking for THESE sausages?

La la la ladeeda dum dum doo dee dee (just strolling in to steal a sausage from the totally unguarded fridge!!) ......What the!!!! Where'd all these pesky crows come from!!!! And whose that spooky figure sitting behind the desk and the reading lamp talking to herself??!! :D

I can keep talking to myself for quite a long time you know!LOL

to my crows: we're moving guys! pack your things! you'll feel very good here!:))

Do you want to say that there are no objections about my office being RIGHT HERE?! So, Fab, that's the way they miss you!LOL no protection from intruders at all!:)))

Do you really think Fab will be glad to see that nobody invaded her commentary booth? I announce this place my office guys! I'm sure Fab wouldn't mind!(or maybe she would...but she is not here, right?LOL)

Hey Fab off to Constansa again?
Goodie more stories on return!
Have a ball, infact have two...one for me!......; }

mmm...pride isn't such a bad thing! Pride isn't pomposity or vanity! if you don't go too far with your pride, it's a good thing! When a person has no pride, no self-respect it won't do him good. mmm... prejudice..can't think of any at the moment....if to return to the book! There is this thing that always made me puzzled...should we believe our first impression? I tend to say no...but still maybe there is something in it...And just one more word about Austen...I like her novels...and most of all 'Pride and Prejudice', but she has that novel called "Emma"...sorry but I hate it!;))))

(aha... a new topic... nice... well well, let's think about it some day.....)

Hey hey hey! I looooooooove the book, the films(the old one and the new one, but probably the old one more), I love Jane Austen! I looove the topic!Now as a good child(LOL) I'm going to bed! wait for my post on the topic...I guess tomorrow!

Right, I've been given my orders from Nel, so I have to come up with a subject. I thought that seeing as this is a 'book club' I should choose something that is actually a book!!:)) So, good or bad, I've chosen 'Pride and Prejudice' a classic by Jane Austin, apparently translated into more languages than actually exist!! Anyway, you can discuss the book, the television series, the film or your own prides and prejudices…..like your pride in your home, family, town or country or other peoples’ (Fab, correct the grammar). The same with prejudices. I myself have one terrible prejudice in that I believe it doesn’t matter what colour, sex, sexuality, religion, political persuasion etc that you are, there are only two types of people ……… nice people and arseholes and both should get what they deserve. As a founder member of the extreme Centre Party I believe that we should all get on together or ‘we will put you against a wall and shoot you’!! Obviously there are some things about the Party manifesto that I haven’t properly thought through!!:D
Apparently the scene in the BBC series about Austen’s Pride and Prejudice when Mr Darcy dives into the lake in his riding breeches makes grown women ‘swoon’ ( I think that’s where they ‘twizzle’ round several times and then fall flat on the floor!!). I’m told that this clip is now being used at security checkpoints to counter female suicide bombers (sometimes it catches a few guys as well!).
So that’s it, I said it would be ‘mooky’ but you insisted!!lol

You can already start celebrating!:)))))))

do you still have so much work?

Hi Fab, hope things are good with you. Thanks for the steer to the Mraz 'kid' the guys a poet (nah! a genius!) still, still listening:)))))

I want a new topic for the book-club........................don't you?

Fab/Anna ....Orders for the ESCPF (Eurovision Song Contest Police Force) sequinned latex uniforms,special powered laser guns, & faux rubber truncheons have been cancelled due to the latest revelations!
It was all beginning to look and sound like a bit of a gay parade I suppose!

As long as I cannot add a comment to TWW profile, I write it here, Fab, you'll let me do that, willya?;) So, I don't know about ESC police, but the blog was deleted by myself 'cause it was meant to be there only for a short time, just for my friends to read it, and find out some news they understand. I'm surprised about anybody else having made effort.:)

Ok I don't feel so bad now. I was flicking through the blogs and it's all gone really quiet! No Fab ,No Mick the van for a while, no music, no me, and no controversy! I was in Ibiza for a few weeks..... omg! What a place!
So I'm back in the land of grey cloud again for my sins, & I was just wonderin' have I missed a funeral or have you passed out with the heat?....; )

DOH !!!!!!!

Hey Anna has already told us! so in the end you turned out to be the only person who doesn't know:P (that's the way I thank you for crossing you ears!LOL i should be more polite to you, don't you think so?:))))Take a look at the blogs!

Okay, so I lied, I haven't got a clue what it means!! I need to sleep at night so will someone tell me please !!:D

Hey Anna saved you Paul! Now all of us know what it means! And you don't need to think of excuses for Fab! Have I just given you away?!LOL
and just some abstract tought: what a wonderful day!

Bună dimineaţa Fab, it's not that your mornings will need any brightening up these days but I just thought this sounded nice and 'morningish' (I think I just invented a word! :D)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXgVev93kq8&feature=related

So go on, what's MSitD
(I know :P)

Yes, don't pretend you haven't noticed MSitD, aha, aha, what is it, hmm???:)))

Hey Fab, is there actually anything you don't kick ass at !!:Looooooooooooooool

what was the MSitD thing? nobody has as many fingercrossers as I have!LOL

Faaa-a-ab, we miss youuuu!!!:)))))

How's my favourite Romanian ??
I'm still here, but sad. My weekly ritual of watching my favourite Rugby League team has turned into a wake.
They do not seem to be able to win a game, even when they are well in front.

So I am in mourning until the next win.

You could try crossing your fingers and toes, arms and legs for my team if you like !!!!

I have been keeping all mine crossed for Nelly.

I have a suggestion, to Fab and to Paul!! Let us crossfinger, or fingercross, about Nelly's exams, of course all of us about all three exams...BUT! Let us each cross fingers about one of Nel's exams especially strongly! My suggestion is, I'll be expert fingercrosser for the 21st, - Russian ('cause I know Russian). Then Paul could logically be the expert, the fingercrosser guru for 23rd, for English exam. And Fab could take Maths, in 26th, in her powerful hands. Then we'll see who'll get the award in fingercrossing! What do you think of this? Any objections? :)))

I don't believe you!:P:P:P

I know what it is!! But I'm saying nothing!!:D

hmmm...what is it? what is it? what is it? I'm curious! :))))

Aoh so that you guess easier - more correct will be : MSitD.:)

And I wish you niii-i-iiice second part of the weekend, you MSiD!!!:)))))))))))
(......Anna is watching whether Fab will guess what the abbreviation stands for?:)))

Hi Fabiana!

Tanx 4 the add.
How are you?
Did you like Ireland's song?
Greeting's from the R.O.I.(Republic of Ireland)!!!!

21st - Russian
23rd - English
26th - Maths

Yeah, I know what you mean 'cept it's still hectic but should taper off soon!! I hope!:))) Pls stop taunting me with the sunny weather!!:D If you're into waterskiing this is the place to be at the moment!!!! LoooooL

i'm going to tell you something Fab...but first sit down...breathe in and breathe out...LOL
I-w-e-n-t-t-o-a -c-o-n-c-e-r-t..........again!LOL
but let us be fair...I spent 2 and a half hours at my math lesson and an hour and a half at my English lesson today, and only after doing so I thought nothing stopped me from going there.

I'm hungry! LOL

in spite of being a maths person I hate schedules, planing things and other things like that...that's why I'm so surprised at this newly developed habit of mine.:) anyway i'm leaving you now, my friend...So good night and happy dreams to you...
P. S. I dislike almost all kinds of coffee :p

mmm that is goood!
do you think it's normal that I drink tea at quarter past 1 every night? :)))

I have heard a few of their songs including the last two links and I'm now listening to the first one... I'd also advise "world looking in"...they are good, aren't they...

soooo?:)

it's horrible, isn't it? I've FALLEN in love with it...I knew what I was saying when I said that this studying does me no good.LOL

hey do I really have the nastiest attitude towards life?:))))
Have you heard the song "otherwise" by morcheeba...I've fell in love with it...

And what about an award for me? "the best worst-studying-university-entrant 2009"?:)))))))))) Just joking...just joking...there's a pile of books on my table Aunt Fabby.LOL

I went to my Doctor the other day.
She said,"What's the problem?"
I said," It's odd, some days I feel like I'm a Wigwam and then other days I feel like I'm a Teepee!"
She said,"I know what's wrong"
I said,"What? What is it?"
She said, "You're too tents!!"
:)

yeah by the end of the exams I'll give you an award(not an oscar, but...) for being the best finger-crosser of 2009.LOL

everything is alright...I'm very busy these days...so I don't have time to read either...slightly afraid of the coming exams, but maybe that's even good...aren't you going anywhere on holiday this summer?

I'm off for two weeks cruising the South Pacific. Looking forward to it. 26-28 degrees everyday - FANTASTIC! Anchors away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forgive me if I've said this before:) The answer is ....the Penguin. Penguins can eat Flying Fish, Flying Fish however can't eat Penguins.

Apologies, I was just 'nosing' around when I saw the reference to Isaac Asimov. I read this when I was slightly younger than Nelly....'The Last Question' and it's stayed with me all this time... it's really good :))))))))))))))

i'm just interested...My brother and mother are very fond of science fiction and I never really got what was so interesting in it, but recently I've started to get interested in it too... today I've read "The End of Eternity" by Isaac Asimov and liked it very much and so I just wondered whether you like such literature...

Fab what kind of literature do you prefer? Do you like science fiction?(As among everyone here you are the one who has a book-club I'll address the question to you:))

Ok, the subject is traditions etc! Problem is that we don't have that many very interesting traditions that you guys have, and that's not sarcasm it's fact!! So, listen, don't hold your breath, but there's something coming about 'cheeserolling' and the slightly more exotic ' Swan Upping'. Gosh we English know how to live!!!!!! Looooooool

Ok, I've missed a few days but that melon must have been well fermented cos I can't follow the posts anymore!! Maybe it's the 'machine' it seems to have done that to me in the past Hope everthings ok in your world. Nuapte buna princepessa

Fab is your birthday really on the 1st of January?

....I mean, happened not HERE, but in my commentary booth. :D)

3) and what about Dragobete.../! The forst thought when reading this was - but what if that year there is NO SNOW on the ground anymore (or yet) on that date in February?!!!
4) We also, we also have waterpouring on each other, in May - only not about the rain goddess but it was initially done with shepherds in the countryside, so that gnats do not bite them in the summer to follow.
5) once I'll tell my great-grandchildnren that I have known the legendary Fab, the Tradition Inventor. :)
Good night at last, indeed now!:)))

the button pushed itself too soon, I was not finished yet! So...

Lovely blog, just in time to carry me away a bit before night sleep.:)
1) Feel safe, we'll not tell anybody!!!
2) Oww, about this grasshopper... but.. I hope that until next year some other, gentler tradition will appeal to you more... or the Prince on the White Horse will ride into your yard before

Hi Fab, well this is just to say guess what? No don't bother I'm telling you anyway! Nice shy French person who communicates in writing? Hey I found one! She's very nice and wrote me a lovely note (or something) inviting me to pay some money for parking somewhere I shouldn't have! I know that she likes to communicate only in writing cos I saw her putting more 'notes' on other peoples cars when they weren't around either! That's how I know she's shy, well, that and the fact that she ran off when I chased her down the street!!! Anyway,I know I won't have to post this on the 'Girls' sites as you will tell them, won't you, you sneak!!! :DD Ok Badiu, your name's going in the 'book' now!! :pppP :))

Yeah, I'm also looking and looking and looking.... forward to some nice Romaniaan tradition!!:))))))

And what about you Fab? What about Romanian traditions?

hi.

there are art that i make lately.
http://cid-f70e9dfacd8f88e5.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/%d7%a2%d7%91%d7%95%d7%93%d7%95%d7%aa%20%d7%90%d7%95%d7%9e%d7%a0%d7%95%d7%aa%20%d7%a9%d7%9c%d7%99%20-%20%d7%a9%d7%99%d7%a8%d7%9c%d7%99

oh Fab, I wanted to reply to your post, but deleted it by chance! I:(
I guess I'll reply to you here:
It does make sense, just good old Ernest could formulate it better(Am I critisizing my favourite writer?LOL). Life breaks everyone,makes people stronger in the broken places, and those who won't break, who never give up are broken in the end too, but this time life doesn't make them stronger by breaking them, it ruins them it destroys them completely! And refering to the last part...who is a brave person? is it the one who's afraid of nothing? No! A brave person is the one who does the thing he considers right in spite of being afraid! Cowardness is something I can't blame people for...It's not their fault, that they aren't strong enough to do some certain things. Meanness and complete egoism that is what i consider the worst thing in the human beings...But who knows what is really right and what is really wrong? Everyone lives the way they choose!

So I'm here to say a proper "thank you" this time...Just wanted to say that among lots of presents I got today, there were three of them I liked most of all, and none of them cost a penny...One was a poem, my friend dedicated to me, the other was something some person told me when he congratulated me(too many "some"-s hah?) and the third is your present which made me smile after an avarage beginning of the day! And can there be a birthday without miracles? Life gave me another present quite unexpected one, which made my day...but you know it's really strange there were a few very unpleasant things that happened today besides the good ones..but anyway I think I'm pleased with my birthday!.

Will speak in a week if I can't find an Internet cafe in Normandy. Have fun:)

Hmm, I've seen wild sparks in my cat's eyes quite often, and between sleeps she is grrowlllling at every bird that flies over the house within 50 metres. And my dog which uses to be sweet and funny to us becomes a snarling strained antenna when she sees an unknown four-legged creature within 50 metres. Do you still want to send your animals to my Zoo?:)))

Hi Fab, listen this 6th language thing is killing me. I'm actually writing this from the roof!! So I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark, just off the top of my head ......It's Spanish...it is isn't it?:p Oh and I'm glad you're seriously happy:))))))))......not having fun but seriously happy...you're being ever so slightly mysterious again Mr Jones:P

See the typings no better !! :(

Well, thank you Fabiana:))) (is there a sign for pushing one’s chest out with pride!!!)lol. I had put my reply on my profile but then due to being at work and trying to sort all manner of things out before going on holiday I gad a moment of panic. Had I read the signs correctly? Was I saying I was unhappy or even angry when it was quite the opposite and was it the same with you, was I reading that you were sad when in fact you were happy? OMG she’ll think I’m an imbecile (see even now I’m not thinking straight because you already now that I am!!) lol. I know, I’ll delete it then she will never know. So I hit the delete button and as the box came up with its ‘ok’ and ‘cancel’ buttons I’m thinking press ‘ok’ then NO press ‘cancel’ so I press …’ok’ and it’s gone. DOH!!!! So now I will go with the original which is how I started this…if I say something again that makes you look THAT sad (they were :(((((( weren’t they ?) then you will tell me won’t you? :) Oh and P.S. So am I in your good books now ?!! :) :D

Oh THANK YOU! I just don't have time to say a proper "thank you "...but I will...so wait for me and I'll come.:)))))

I'm shocked! Michael jackson died
:((((((((((((((((((

So, "maybe we could divide it in two".. or in five... or in more.. :))

Ok, now it is official I'm a simpleton!!!!:D How on earth do you invite someone to be 'your friend' on this thing, I'm definitely missing something!!! Help!!?

Ok so I need to brush up on my counting skills lol. Just sitting here in the garden chilling out over a beer and looking at my fat cat, well actually I haven't got a cat but it's sort of mine because it sits on the roof of my shed on warm days and looks at me indolently then after a few hours it gets up and looks at me as if to say "well your not much in terms of entertainment" and slowly walks off along the wall into an adjoining garden. I call 'it' Homer because a more intelligent cat might have come to that conclusion a lot earlier. I tried doing cartwheels once to spice things up between us but the six hours waiting in Accident and Emergency put me off doing it again!!:) Anyway I feel the need to open the envelope so are there any other Mraz tracks from Mr A-Z you particularly like? Oh and by the way.... it's Russian isn't it!! I knew it!!!:D

Hey girl!! How did you like yesterday's confession looooooooool!!! Well, since I intend to keep my promise (even if I'm going to stick to your suggestion of not using words as ever, always, never, etc), I'm here yet again... not with cynical comments that will unleash the beast loooooooooool (oh, come on, you know it's a joke). I'll email you later today, I just wanted to remind you that your friendship is very important to me... and I wanted to do it all out in the open.
Actually, I'll leave here a comment for all of you guys... I treasure each and every one of you... and I really hope we can keep this pen(sort of)-pal thing... or as one of you wisely put it, just to remain friends for a very very long time... that is, for EVER (shit, I did it again, I used the E word!!!).

Hi, Fab. I think we're starting to worry a bit about you cos you don't seem to be there but didn't mention anything, which is your perogative, but what are friends for if not to be a pain in the butt. Hope your having fun anyway:P

I am mi-i-i-issing you!!! Hope you are happy somewhere...??? :))))))))))))))))))))

Of course 'Life is Wonderful' is a song we like as well !! :p

Thanks for cat feeding,
And for path weeding,
I roam and roam,
And when I come home,
What do I see?!
A beautiful tree!
My friends have brought
Some happy thoughts
And sprinkled with care
So funny and dear!
:)))))

Just had a great idea (stay with me they don't happen too often:p) Now I'm making a massive assumption that if you like 'Love is Wonderful’ that you have 'Mr A-Z'. Now I’ve just received my three Jason Mraz CDs that I ordered a while ago and have spent the time since my return playing then, so, I've written my favourites from this CD onto a piece of paper that I’ve sealed in an envelope. Now all you have to do is tell me what your favs are then I open the envelope and compare! Just like magic! So what are your favourites from this CD? Oh and what’s the answer for the ‘penguin v flying fish’ question?:p

Hi Fab, back from where I've been. How's life, love and the World?

I love dogs, they are better than cats...cats get attached to your house and dogs get attached to you... But you know from what you told I guess I'm in the position of the puppy in my case:D

Well my dear friends, after a long long looooong absence, I'm finally back... and to my surprise, to discover that the book society has changed its location... I really don't care that much, as long as we all promise to keep it alive... plus I tend to be a terrible host, so I think it's best if Fab entertains us from now on.
After this has been said, I'll get to reading all your posts (I hope there'll be many, since I've been absent for quite a long time now), and then get back to sharing a bit more of what's been going on with me lately.

Until then, my love to you all!!

Well I havent decided which song yet? But then Im starting to get fascinated by the Phantom of the Opera, and I love the song Wishing you were somehow here again, so Ive added that to my list.

Which song do you think I should sing?

Yeah I should stay at home and study, then I won't have time to think of anything and to get upset...still don't have any thoughts...wanted to write a blog yesterday, I just felt like writing something, but all my ideas left me as soon as I saw that blank page...

didn't see him yesterday...but my depressive mood is almost gone, didn't go to any concerts yesterday(imagine that!lol), didn't even go to the centre...just went to my maths lesson, then for a short walk with two of my close friends...yesterday I found out that our school-leaving party is on 27th, that is a very important event here every pupil waits for...with evening dresses, high heels and lots of other unnecessary things...

yeah it is...:)

I got it, Fab...You're waiting for someone to leave for some time and form something on his or her profile while he or she is away...It is mean of you!!!!!! Who is you next victim Fabiana...i'm getting frightened.LOL

I've not gone missing. I'm just too exhausted to write anything after reading your quckl fire interaction.

Or, is it because I can't get a word in edgeways.

Or the garden fence is too high.(that'll test you !)

Or, someting completely different.

Well the real reason is - I hope to have a new central heating system boiler fitted at home, but because of the the extensive work involved, I have to clear my loft (junkyard) and the spare bedroom (storage room, well, junkyard also). All my life I have never been able to throw anything away if it has any use left. I've now got a week to clear 30/40years of junk, so the engineer can come and measure up properly for a quote.

Although I'm busy, busy, busy, you are all never far from my thoughts.

I'm also into a new book entitled "Do Bats Have Bollocks?", which is a second volume of utterly stupid questions by the authors of "Do Ants Have Arseholes?" - Jon Butler and Bruno Vincent.

I hope my intellect doesn't astound you too much.

I forgot to answer a question last night. You said "we still have to see about my trip to Oslo. And then "Should I go?" Yes, of course you should, then you can tell me all about it, it’s another place I’ve been thinking of going to for some time but as I didn’t know of any sad, tragic things to visit there I’ve always put it off!! :d Perhaps you’ll be able to convince me it would be worthwhile’:p

btw I'm away now for three days, back Weds night, won't have access to the internet. Noapte bună, dolcis somnium:P

1. sorry about the typing errors.
2. Which would you rather be:
a penguin which is a bird that can't fly but it can swim or
a flying fish which can swim but which can also fly (slightly)?

So it's an 'interrogation' is it? I must warn you that I have had training in this sort of thing and can resist, unless of course it involve s any pain!! Check the answers:p

everything is possible...you'll never know...:p
i'm going to bed Aunt Fabby!:D good night

Right that's your questions answered now you answer mine (all of them would be nice but I won't hold my breath):P You in a skirt hey, somehow I had you down for combat fatigues:):P

What I saw there was even worse than yesterday's news, but I'm fine already and the concert was really nice...and there were cool people gathered there...
so I guess I can say that I enjoyed it...

You sound just like my mother...LOL
I can't sleep these days

by the way do you know it was the international day of music today...I went to a concert(yes another one.LOL)

Yeah I've read it...I love the book...the problem isn't only becoming frined, it's too complicated...Anyway you really cheered me up...though I didn't get how.:) so thanks...

You know, you never disappoint me:D Yes I did sprinkle parmesan on it and yes it was even better than without! And see! I said she was like you:p Well at least you only speak Latin in your sleep (Phew!! Mental note to cancel those classes!) Don’t ever stop annoying me, I like it. I will however try, and I only said try, to stop annoying you. So, you haven’t answered the question – is it German? Or are you going to torture me for weeks on end (another mental note – if this goes on beyond a month must get timetable for the buses, don’t want to have to walk far and hang around before I fling myself under one!!) Do I still like you? Of course I do, if it were possible, more than before:p:p

I know! I know! And it's the worst thing that I understand it but can't do anything with it...Hey I've been in the complaining mood for about a week already...I really seem to have problems with myself... I've been thinking all day today "I'm such an ideot!" and now I understand nothing...I don't understand others and I don't understand myself which is even worse...And I tell you nothing as I don't want to speak about it and as it is too difficult to explain the situation, but still I want you to comfort me and it's so selfish of me...And I hate myself for such a silly behaviour...

Hope you won't mind that I copy my info I've just written in Paul's commentary booth:)):
And I wanted to inform my friends that I'll be off until Wednesday. We have sort of small holidays in Latvia... in fact, not so small, since it makes five days this year, counting together with this weekend. Because on Thuesday, June 23, we have our Midsummer Night Festival (folk traditions since ancient times, beer and sausages, dancing around, jumping over the fire, singing folk songs and all that). In the present crisis situation of Latvia it is very necessary for people to feel our Latvianness alive... I'll write a blog about this when I return.:) June 23 and 24 are state holidays in Latvia (the latter date is a free day evidently in order that people can get some sleep after the dancing night... and yes, to sober up lol). And since this Monday (June 22) is in between the weekend and the holidays, then the previous Saturday was a working day for this Monday so that there are 5 days in succession.
Have a great time and please do funny things there so that I can after that read your traces and lol lol:)))
I love you all.:)))

omg I've just found someone on this site you haven't yet written to :D

Haven't given up the guitar idea yet... I must learn it sooner or later...:) I'll feel that something is undone if I don't...:)))
You know I really don't have problems with my close friend... I feel quite comefortable with them, I mean I say what I feel and I do what I want...But I'm bad at getting close with people I like... I mean I have so much to say but can't express even half of it... I'm sure of my views and convictions, I'm always ready to stand for them, but I'm not as sure of myself....It always seems to me that the ones I like might not like me...I really don't care what people think of me, but not the ones I'd like to be close with...

Fab, Thought I’d keep the Italian theme going so meatballs in home made tomato sauce (herbs garlic that stuff) on pasta. Yum!! The little girl Razieh? She’s like you because although she’s very slightly annoying :D she’s also utterly adorable. I think if you saw the film that you would agree that that is what she’s like.
Wikipedia says this about it and I couldn’t do any better: Razieh wants a fat goldfish for the Iranian New Year celebration instead of the skinny ones in her family's pond at home, because the fat fish looks like it's dancing when it swims. After many attempts, she and her brother convince their mother to give them her last bit of money. Between their home and the fish store, Razieh loses the money. She finds it, but it is temptingly just out of her reach. The money has fallen through the grate of the entrance to a store which has been closed for the New Year celebration. Razieh and her brother make several attempts to retrieve the money and receive assistance from many people, including the owners of nearby shops and an Iranian soldier. The money, however, is always just out of reach. Finally, the siblings receive help from a street vendor selling balloons. He carries all of his balloons on a wooden stick, and has only one balloon, a white one, left. The group attaches a piece of gum to one end of the balloon stick, and with it, they reach down through the grate and pull the money up……. And to say anymore would spoil the ending :p
Btw liked your advice to Nelly especially the very last bit. Oh, nearly forgot….is it German, the other language? …………..(making mental note that if it isn’t I should enrol in such classes straight away no matter what the cost).

I’m sure you can have anything your soul and mind needs at the present life situation. There are evenings when people need playgrounds. There are others when serious talks seem more desirable. And those cases are wonderful when there is – click! – and several strangers in train can suddenly share the same level of wonderlanding.:)))
I’m exhausted, this was a long day for me. I’m boring and grown up now:DD Sweet dreams!:))))

1. Glad you had a nice lunch
2. Yeah, you're right I think I do think too much (see what I mean).
3. Now listen surely you can allow me this - it doesn't necessarily mean that because you have Romanian, Hungarian and Italian blood that one can assume you can speak all those languages? No okay it's official then - I'm a simpleton.
4. Given that you are already winning in the English speaking sector it would follow that you'll be perfect at French as well. But can you make French people fall over laughing when you speak it (mental note - she's probably done a comedy course in French -damn!!).
5. Yes it probably will kill me not to know !!!!
6. Why do you want to see my cat dead!! Is this the Italian thing coming out? My god you’re not in the …Meowfia are you?
7.Broooomstiiiiick, …….sorry just crossing that of my list of things I thought you would have.
8. Same reasons you won’t get one :p Goldfish are ok though ‘cos you can buy things with them over the internet and they fit just nicely in your wallet.
9. Speaking of Goldfish, have you ever seen a lovely Iranian film called ‘The White Balloon’ it’s about a little girl who wants a Goldfish (bit like you really!).

...well I was just waiting for something and it turned out not as good as I thought...I really don't think I want to be more specific...But it's really nothing special...I'm going to bed now...Good night...dream of something nice

Glad you have such friends, nothing is better than good food, well there are some things but not many of them.LOL
It wasn't really a concert, more like a meeting with a member of a Russian legendary rock group,which I'm very fond of...And he sang a few songs too...Learned some disappointing news today, nothing serious, just a little disappointing and so I'm.....mmmm.....disappointed right?:)
That's why didn't enjoy it as much as I should have...

:D just forgot a smile.:)))

I'm here! I'm here! I've been out at a concert... Have just come home...And thanks to everyone who's appreciating my skills.

Do you know, you wrote something last night and I couldn’t work out where it had come from but I just went with it anyway. You wrote “Paul, you are a gift connoisseur! If I want to plan a vacation somewhere really depressive, I'll sure ask you for some tips”. So I’m still thinking about it this morning (in between thinking about other things) and whilst having a cuppa I started to read some of your old blogs and read ‘Lost in Translation, Please Help’ and there it was, you chirpily saying ‘I would much appreciate if you could help me out with the translation of their lyrics. English or French will do’. So that explained it. You speak French as well. Any other languages? Is there anything you can’t do?
Well anyhow, I then started to look at one or two more one of which was ‘Blue Monday’ and the comments about ‘La Voix’ had me going looooooooooooooool, no I wasn’t ‘laughing out loud’ for a very very long time, I was choking ‘cos I’d started to laugh and swallowed my Hob Nob the wrong way (it’s a type of biscuit in case you’re wondering). Anyway after the paramedics had left I read some more and do you know, I’ve had a really nice day!! At times I’ve been howling (there were strange men in my garden and I haven’t got a dog!).

I've just found out the mark of my History exam ! And guess what I got 18 points out of 20. That's what is really psychedelic.LOL
I told you everything would be fine!

Hey! This is not fair! This is my topic, but I miss the most interesting things all the time! Do you wait till I go and only then start speaking?LOL
Mmmmmmmm...sausages ! I love them!:)
And this latest blogs of you all they took all the words from me, I don't know what to say...I just love you all!
This was not a psychedelic one...

Oh and another thing, you left an 's' off something in a blog, so there!

Err, was it something I said?!! A wise man would give up now, knowing that a severe thrashing was on the way. Hmmmmm (thinking) ......NAH!! Oh and by the way, your fridge light isn't working.

:DDD good night you both

:DD I don't know whether I'm good at, say, inventing kicking techniques... but maybe I can contribute to the creation of the plan otherwise, say, now and then running to the grocery for some sausage...:)

I'm reading this you know!!!!

(Anna raising her hand)
May I.... may I contribute to Nelly's theme tomorrow, with a new blog instead of a commentary, hmmm??:) I mean today already, but ... many hours later. Pleease allow me!:))

Fab, I've just read your entry on Anna's profile.Sausages !! Sausages !! Are you serious?!!!!

God you make me laugh!! You want a competion then go for it sister!!

Hi Fab, my answers on my profile. I'll get the hang of this one day. Talking of hangs hows your over after last night. What on earth were you guys on!!! That's the only party with a truly authentic feel I ever seen carried out by people hundreds of miles apart!!!

Nay, not sausages... ;) Sooner... er, maybe this climbing on chairs to get reach of... you know, these awfully important things!XD

AWESOME !!!!!!!!

YES, I am a nutcase, but I've got my serious head on now.

By the way, what was your thought ?

Are we still on psychedelia ?

Just a minute, I've just realised you've added another blog. Bye for now while I read it.

It's my typing, I've got to sort the damn typing out!!!

Hey listen, I don't want you to think I'm a bad spoller, I meant to say Cavalry Choirs and not the reference to a Canadian singing ensemble (but is they're nice people they're welcome).

If you're there, the reply is on my profile.

Oh, Fab, I keep thanking God he has allowed me to know a person like you. You know about the previous Woods of mine from our private communication, and I've been proud telling you how I managed to escape then and declared everything's ok in my life now... we both agree about the fundamentals... and yet you have managed in a way to shatter my world, from the deepest depths, for which I am greatly thankful...

oh I haven't seen the movie, I looked up the trailer in youtube and read about it in Wiki... i'm sure i'll get and watch it.

Aha, so it's mamy's fault, sure she did a good thing for a good reason... lol.
1 week vakation to Sweede. Will stay with some friends of mine.. See you when i have went back home.
Take care..!

Who can tell that Nelly's has no more exams for a while.

..................................................................no really...........................................................

somebody! stop me me from posting comments!!!!!!!

,.....................................................,
chickens crawl into the house
mighty giants kill us all
Fabiana loves tomatoes
sky is blue it makes me howl?!?!?!?
,.....................................................,

well something like that...LOL

ah yeah and really psychedelic:))))

Wow, my friends, you are more psychedelic than I thought...
"I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together."
Has anyone here seen "across the universe" movie, based on Beatles' music? It's a new one...shot in 2008 if I'm not mistaken...It's really worth seeing!

Ohhhh, I love this atmosphere.:)))) I'll make some contribution today when my hectic working hours are over, I promise (regretfully, the work is real, my psychedelic friends...:)

Blimey!! There really is a real party atmosphere going on here, or should I say having looked at the time , went on here. No matter what, does anyone mind if I call the cops?

I think I'm Hallucinating. I sure I've just repeated myself

Well, I was psychedelic on Nel's profile so there ! Na Na Ne Na Na (I needed that) Tongue now back in cheek Aunty Fab

Well, I've been psychedelic on Nel's profile. Na Na Ne Na Na. (It's back in my cheek now)

Fab I'm back but not yet, have been on a roll....eek!
It was a pinky kinda grey...and it's all good!
Have guests so have to dash......will pick it all up again promise!
Hope you're hangin' in!
Big hugs ....Naroc!

At the moment I'm reading "Do Polar Bears Get Lonely ? (and 101 other intriguing science questions).
One of the questions it poses is as follows:-

The mineral water in my local shop has a label telling me it is from a 3000 year old source, yet there is still a "Best Before End" date on it approximately two years in the furture.
If the water has been in its aquifer for 3000 years, why should it go off in a sealed bottle ?

Any thoughts ladies and gents ???

oooh! You'll regret it. I'm really bad at choosing topics for anything...
You know the first thing that came to my mind is our psychedelic experiences...I'm so fond of psychedelia in music, literature, art, movies, well just in everything that I can't help choosing it as a subject for discussion... Hey but I'm still against drugs!:)))
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" comes to my mind and Pink Floyd music... And the impression that "The Wall" made on me, I'll never forget it...sitting in my armchair in silence under the impression for about quarter of an hour after the film had finished...Radiohead videos... all this music and movies and everything else are the things that impress me most of all and that I like most of all...
I also have psychedelic dreams from time to time... :)
Hope you share my love for psychedelia, though I don't think any of you has ever experienced hallucinations, have you? :)))

(Anna is sneaking around waiting for the topic to appear).
:))))

What about a new topic for your book club? Or are we waiting for Rodrigo to come?

You were right I really liked it:)))))

(Anna sitting and polishing her magic stick)
By all means!!:))
kisses and hugs

You know when I said G.night I wasn't actually going to bed!!!

I'm starting to regret your recommendation of Jason Mraz. I can't stop listening to him now. I've found a vid where he looks like he should always be in Paris. Speaking of that what's your favourite artist, as in painter? Mine's Vincent. Musee D'Orsay Paris has some fantastic paintings by him, I can't pick one out over another because they are all so good, but to stand mille-seconds away from the last strokes of paint that he laid on a canvas (or whatever it was) is ………………… (I defy anyone to spell that sound !!)
I think that's what it is with Mraz, echoes of Don McLean and 'Vincent'. Anyway, I don’t know why it matters, but it does, I didn’t just ‘cut and paste’ the Romanian this morning. It took me 200 hours of finding the ‘squiggly’ things to put on top and bottom of all the letters (okay so I exaggerate sometimes) and I even listened to the pronunciation bits, and I must admit Romanian does sound beautiful, I mean that. I’ve always thought that there was a connection somewhere between Romanian and Portuguese; maybe we’ll explore that later.
If someone wanted to visit Romania and stay somewhere, where, they could get a few good walks in the country and a real taste of normal 24hr life where would you recommend?
Spoke to Anna today, nice of her to invite me in, I’ve enjoyed reading the interaction between you all ‘Aunty Fab’. Take care out there. G.night.

You're not angry with me anymore, are you?

Nah! You hadn't wished me to have a good time, so I didn't, I was bored, didn't dance at all...There was just that 2 or 3-year-old child I fell in love with, he was running all over the place and he was sooo sweet with his curly fair hair...:)))

Sweet lord no lol I would die on my own but yes heavy partying ahead for me =D

Yes ... I'm going to Ibiza, Spain in 17 days :)

Expialidocious!;)))))

'Fun in the sun' lol - You have a funny way to say things on or when you are expressing things. Do you know that,.?
You make me easily, to laugh..!!
I am missing smily's here.... Hmm

Aah .. I just got it lol silly me!

Nothing new for me, I'm going on holiday in 17 days woo! Who's Rodrigo?

Hey! this is not fair! First tell me you don't mind my going and tell me you hope I'll have a good time!LOL
I can't go knowing that you're in the MIDDLE of a nervous breakdown!

no way! I won't open my History textbook even if I don't go to the party...So I'll go. Everything will be OK tomorrow I'm sure...don't worry(I'm the one who is supposed to be worrying, but I'm not)

* "too angry" not "to angry"

I'll tell you something, but don't get to angry with me:) I'm going to my cousin's birthday party today...don't think I'm irresponsible, I'll go to my English lesson first...Everyone is convincing me to revise some History(the exam is tomorrow), but I've come to the conclusion that my case is hopeless, I'll forget everything as soon as I close the book:))))

Oh YES!!! I'm fine. Weather's a bit cold though brrrrrrr. I've been doing a bit of historical research and cruising around Youtube listening to music vids. Went to the flicks the other day too - saw Star Wars! Yep - a Trekkie!
And you are right - no crocs down here! Too bloody cold mate! hahahaha

Well. I did say that I wasn't that perceptive. G. Night

Similarities again: 1) my Monday was also by no means nasty, the good news and 2) headache. :/

Fab,by the way, I always admire someone who can spell the word 'shitty' - it's a boy thing!!!

I guess I'm insane too, I have a headache and I'm listening to venetian snares...LOL

If only I knew... maybe I'm falling in love or maybe I am not...I don't know:) You'll have a headache if you try to understand me, I already have one...;)

Well most of the time is too much for me too...:)
How is my day? Really how is my day...don't know...something is happening to me and I can't understand what...there is a mess in my head...:)

I mean the ones I'm taking now are easy... Just wanted to make it clearer...

Oh come on! I can't study all the time...I still have a little more than a month before the main exams...these ones are easy so I can allow myself to relax a little... I study! I just don't spend all my day on it...I told my brother you were wishing him happy birthday...

Favour carried out. Hope Rodrigo doesn't mind his profile being used as your Book Club.

Humble apologies. Been away with heavy work commitments. I don't have a laptop, so I can only log on at home if there are no internet cafes available.
Got your request about the book club and I will contribute when I find the correct page.
Prior to joining MyEurovision, I was on Facebook, but since joining my favourite people on MyEurovision, I've neglected Facebook. It took me almost a day to catch up when I logged on yesterday, and it's now tomorrow. Work in 5 hours. I must be mad, but you're worth it. Hope you missed me as much as I've missed you !!

It did, right.:))) Just returned, tired and happy. Story is already fidgeting in the ink-bottle, but now I'll go to sleep and let it out tomorrow, no, already today, .. nasty Monday again.:) Good night, Stargirl.:))))

I am very good thank you, Im just busy with a lot of exams thats all!
I agree with you on the songs that you loved. Norway and Iceland were beautiful singers and the songs were amazing. Portugal was such a soft song and it was so sweet, but Estonia was mesmerising. I think it did very well and the singers dress was amazing!

Not yet, quite forgot about it...but I will...
The guests are gone and my brother went out with his friends, and I'm sitting right now wondering why I didn't go with them...I could....

Why do I keep swollowing letters?

the exam was OK, I just didn't know what he word "errand" ment...and so I might have made a mistake...
Oh no I just quietly came up to his bed, but at the moment he tured round and i saw that he wasn't sleeping...So my cruel plan was ruined...

Imagine Rodrigo's surprise when he sees our posts...

With this I,
Anna the Bookworm,
gladly accept the invitation to the book club.
The first contribution has been made.
The first suggestion: what about the name of the club??
/signature/
:^)

Hey Fabiana .. My internet has been offk now =D

Hey girl, I'll try and email you later today, but for now, just a quick drop by to say hello... and to say that I'm impressed by your knowledge of Spanish sayings... but it'ts true, we all say, all the time, Mi casa es tu casa, My house is your house, so, I guess, you can all post whatever comes to your minds in my message board... I actually love it... since I'm never a host in my house (that's a talent I just don't have), I guess I can be a host here!!!
Love you all guys, I promise to come back more often... it's just been crazy these days.

No, no, thanks God it's English, I don't even want to think of History exam...
I guess everything will be OK with English...And guess what? I'm studying now...You can be proud of me!LOL

My drawing skills don't go beyond sketching some abstract circles, spirals or sometimes when inspiration comes flowers, separate eyes, skulls, knives and ugly faces, and all this is usually done while doing something else, like listening to something boring.LOL

(with last effort)
....Do-o-ooone.....

Loooool...Nah he's too lazy to run after me early in the morning, but I guess I can still get a blow with a pillow ..

my allowance?!!! No way, no way! I need it myself!LOL
But you are a huge box of ideas... i thought of CDs or books before, but it's too ordinary. But I'll certainly sing for him...I have an exam on 13th, so I'll have to get up early, I'll crowl to his bed while he's sleeping and I'll start singing at the top of my voice, a perfect beginning of a perfect birthday!LOL

Fine, fine I'm studying...:)
Fab, help me, it's my brother's birthday on 13th, but I don't have a present and have no idea what to give him...Do you know what 19-year-old guys like?:)

I missed you too!!!
Nothing special, but it really did me good, I finally finished the book I was reading and watched a couple of movies, don't even hope that I was studying, I'm in the "we don't need no education".mood.:) I'm going to bed right now, tomorrow is Maths exam.

A complete recovery!!! Without any loss of memory! What else could I dream of! My PC is well again!
Did I miss much? How are you?

I'm multi-skilled! hahahaha - washing, ironing, cleaning - will the list ever stop!

Phew !
I was sweating cobs reading your latest blog. Not because you're hot stuff (cos you still are), but because I thought I was going to get a wacking bill.
Phew ! again (that's relief)
All I can say now is Hello.

Fifty-fifty.:) One day grand (of my weekend), but the other one - low key. And yes, you may take any fragments of the wows (I guess, about that cucumber peel will be useful, as far as I remember about bookstore-grocery business).:)

It's often the little things in life that matter. They can make you feel so happy - and for others - it's the little things that get them annoyed! The big issues - we ignore.
Well when you talk about storm music - I think of Riders of the Storm by the Doors
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house were born
Into this world were thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
Or Knock on Wood - by Amii Stewart -
It's like thunder and lightning
The way you love me is frightening!
hehehe - have a good weekend - and like you - I have to do my washing!
See you there.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I've been toiling in my garden, but the back ache's worth it when my garden looks nice. Trouble is things keep growing,especially weeds.
I've replied to your curiosity on my page, but answer one question. In your photo, is that how you wear your hair normally? Is that a photo of you? Sorry, that's two questions. Now I.ve forgotten why I asked. Never mind, it'll come back to me later.

PS What do you think of my WSC suggestion ?

And... to tell the truth I wasn't studying! :)And made a lot of mistakes today... But next one is Maths, and that's where I have nothing to worry about! That's what I'm good at!

Me too Anna, I'm talking about the centuries.LOL So you beat us all, Fab!

I believe that to God every person on the Earth is very special, every one of millions. I must humbly acknowledge that for me some people are still more special than others. And I could never imagine that I would find such special spiritual kinship with my dear Fab-ulous virtual friend, in a virtual site, one of millions...:))
Oh, but... btw, speaking about beating you in smth... I not only hated to memorize dates in History at school... I more than once managed to mix even the CENTURIES!:p:) (in entrance exams to the University I told them everything about a revolt.. persons, events in details.. even leader's granny's eye colour... but I was absolutely unaware of the century).

Oh, Fab, You'd be a perfect girlfriend for Che! I guess you could have changed the history if you had been with him!LOL

Yeah it is, English, Maths and History(the most difficult subject for me, just can't remember all that dates...) for now, and then in July one more English exam, one more Maths and Russian....
Haven't read your replies yet...I guess I'll do it right now...;)

I don't dream about anybody famous, I make tea first thing in a morning and I don't have a problem with my hair (I haven't got any). Mind you God only made so many perfect heads, the rest he put hair on !!!

However, I can feel a blog coming on during the next few days. You might have done the trick girl, without even knowing it. God, you're wonderful !!!

Thank God you've chosen incredibility and outrageousness... I mean, in this way not only you yourself have fun but also your environment.:)
Have an inspiring continuation to your dream series tonight.LOL:)))

My my, so now I've become a heartless, souless, whinny guy? Well, the marriage issue is well affected... let alone the cow, I might now think twice before sending it to you lol!!!
Anyway, I still like to propose business to you... I'll join your doing-nothing crew!!! I'll even offer myself for partnership right away!!!

Saturday, it's Armenian, I don't think it will be too difficult...

Hmm, I don't think I can beat THAT... but be careful not to overdo to remain credible...;) to write about 1001 ways of doin' nothing - that is hard and lengthy work!! Who would then believe that you yourself have time left to practise these ways!:))

yeah, me too, I can even do without wine, anyway if it was up to me I'd choose beer:))))It's so hot here, I want some ice-cream, but I need to go out to buy some and it's so hot that nobody can ever make me go out, so I don't know what to do;)))

Yeah, btw I love cucumbers.LOL. I'va got Che's poster on my wall next time I look at it, I'll think of you..LOL And than when we have a band we'll go to ESC and we'll win it as we'll have a huge army of fans supporting us:))))))) But which country are we going to represent?:))))

hey do you know what I was thinking about yesterday? It just dawned on me that you are a born leader, I mean people gather around you, you're like Che Guevara.LOL. So let's start a revolution together.....well let it be a music revolution at first, just like Beatles...))))You'll be the songwriter, and as I don't play any musical instrument (there were just a couple of attempts to learn how to play the guitar, but not successfull ones, but I still have a plan to do so), I'll have to sing, let's forget about my poor vocals 'cause the important thing here is to make people believe us and follow our cause.LOL I'll overcome my shyness and we'll organise a tour around Europe and then we'll go to the USA...That will be great, we'll sing about your cow(your fans will buy you a cow when we become popular) and about any crazy thought that occures to us.LOL So what do you think?;))))

Hey, I've just read the blog... Thanks sooo much for those words, you can't even imagine, what I felt reading them... Now I'm really sure I'll pass everything... Don't even know what to say. So happy i've met a person like you and am happy that you really understand me...
P. S. nobody has ever quoted me before....))))))

Don't know the mark yet...) I'm just sure I've passed, but I think the mark will be not so perfect, but enough for me, these are not the main exams, the great trial is in July...How are you? I guess I'll go out for a walk now, to relax a little after the busy day(had to go to my math lesson after the exam...)......
P.S. I guess I put too many dots........LOL.......

Now it's Tuesday. Are you feeling better.
We are experiencing a heat wave here in blighty, but the weather forecasters (pessimistic sods that they are !!!) are telling us it won't last. Why can't they just let us enjoy the sunshine.

I'm struggling to dig up ideas for a blog worth reading. The heat has seized my brain or shrunk it. That is of course if I ever had one in the first place.
I need your genius to stimulate the grey matter. Any suggestions ?

Are there any openings for the stripper position in your bookshop? I'll gladly take one if you have enough nepotism so as to hire a friend when he probably has no qualities for the job at all lol!!!

Hmmm - getting wet and having more fun than being in the sun!!! Well glad you enjoyed it!!!! haha That's how we feel over here after it hasn't rained for a long time.

Oh don't even know what to recommend...It's easier to make people cry after watching the film than to make him feel really amused or happy...I'd recommend you to watch Love Actually(it's a romantic comady)...I love this film...

It being Monday (although it's nearly over now) I'd better not mention strawberries, if I know what's good for me.

You keep blogging, respect.:))
I decided to know better the music you like. In the list you mention here in your profile page, even without loooots more, there are some that are... hmm not so well known to me. So, for a start, I devoted this evening to Jason Mraz, we met in youtube, he and me..:D About myself I can tell, I like him.:)

Oh, but there is so much kindness in the film, I mean you start to feel every moment of your life after watching it, you start to take the most you can from this life(at least I felt like this after watching it...)
Oh I love Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks is such a brilliant actor...Have you seen the Green Mile? He's starring there. Once again it's not the most cheerful movie...And Amelie is also a masterpiece...I have seen some other film's among those you've mantioned but not all of them...

As to the song, I think that Bob Dylan's version is best of all...And as to the film, you know I think that it's one of the films that is really worth seeing...It's a German film and Til Schweiger is staring there...It's about two guys having lethal diseases and they are supposed to die in a short time and so they decide to go and see the sea before they die and while going there they get into some trouble with gangsters...The film has many funny episods but on the whole it's very dramatic...

Having read your latest rendition, I am impressed by your initiative in a given situation. You are a girl after my own heart. Where ever possible I always try to look on the bright side of any situation. Even pessimists are never dissappointed lol.
I'm glad you enjoyed your break.
I've now dried out my awning and other camper van equipment, spruced up my garden (doesn't rain make things grow quicker !!!) and even had time for a spot of sun-bathing. Cos, as soon as we came home, the sun came out and we've had two of the hottest days of the year (24-27 degrees, which is hot for here at this time of year).
I'm now going to work tomorrow with a tan, so my coworkers will think I've had a great sunny holiday.
The Rainbow in Every Teardrop thing was by Slim Whitman. Now you nearly know everything. He also does a nice Love Song of a Waterfall and yodels alot.

Ahaa, my dear Stargirl, I gladly accept your offer of being a partner, I can act, for example, as a dark, reading figure, being vaguely seen through the shop window. You know, I can do this job all day long, you'll not be disappointed in me, I'll demonstrate such an absolute submerging into the process that anyone will realize that reading is the best choice in the world! Oh yes, and OF COURSE, I'll advertise also the deliciousness of cucumbers (by eating them expressively).
:))) I'm so glad you had such a grand weekend.:)) Good night, Stargirl, I'll also keep my promise tomorrow.:))

Oww I'm rushing to read your blog:))), I've just crawled into my house and collapsed in front of my comp.

Heeey! Look who's back!)))))
I guess I'll have to use Internet Explorer instead of Opera, but anyway I finally see your commentary booth! There is still a reply on my page...I posted it before...

Mmmmmmmmmm - do tell!

Hi Fabiana,
I'm back, refreshed in more ways than one (it rained alot !!!). Your blogs had a bit of a depressing tone. Have you missed me ??
Well, you can cheer up now, because, "There's a Rainbow in every Teardrop Your Crying." to quote one of my favourite Country numbers, which is far too old for you to remember or even know.
I hope that's got your grey matter working.

hi,

today we had the feast. I made a Salad and we had lots of food.

it is good to be with friends and not only with your family.

good day to you
yours Shirley

All work and no play is no good for you!

It's solved. Semi 1, 25th may.
Semi 2, 27th may and finale 29th may.
Telenor arena OSLO.

I don't know if it's a big deal to handel it out between the Champions League and EBU who sat their finales to same date and same hour. Some representants from EBU are in Oslo today. Sure we will know more in the end of this week.
You know some like football and other like eurosong and then what about those who like football and eurosong..(both things) They don't know what to watch.. Haha..Thats the one and only problem.. SEE YOU..!

Hi again.
Sorry but i have not spent much time here lately. Saturday and Sunday i did spend on a beach very close to where i'm living, and i was very tired when i went back home.
Haven't been here for 2 -3 dais, i think.. About eurosong next year i don't know much yet, because of problems between CL and EBU. I think eurosong will be moved til the end of May. Think EBU and NRK wil have a discusion about it on Wedensday. Tings will not be a secret, not at least for so long.
Will take a look in here sometimes.
HUG.

I hope your blues get blown away!

A hug from me also.:))

Hey, pretty girl, I'm so glad you have such nice co-workers who make efforts to rescue you from yourself if necessary.:))) I hope the actual problems that caused your bad mood will vanish like ghost at sunrise, or at least, settle somehow... And I'm writing continuation, yes...

Coucou Fabiana !

Je sors de ma retraite spirituelle pour te demander "oh please Fabiana write me some more Aahhs and Oohhs in my personnal commentary space !!!". Comment va my Balkan girl préférée ???

hahaha - noooooo - I'm still around!

Oh, I see u having become unrivalledly popular.:)))

LOL LOL Dear Miss Fabulous, oh honored genius! I have just burst from laughter reading your blog, Michael's masterpiece, and ... emm... reports from your creative laboratory with Romero.:)) Now I must first glue myself together to be able to put down some serious things I wanted to tell u, and it may take some time.:)))

I did my worst, now I'm eating humble pie!

Can I be the guy behind your ESC work?? That means, you put the words, I'll throw the music and the staging, and we'll surely be a fantastic team. I have some wonderful ideas already for your words. At first I thought of making it a ballad lol, but then I thought twice and probably a really hot couple on stage, with backup dancers throwing rum to the audience... I mean does it get any better than that?

OMG, how self-centered can you be?? You thought the idea of the kidnap was in reference to you???? loooooool!!!!!
I'm sorry, but I just couldn't help it, and both when I wrote it and when I read your comment i laughed a lot (does is seem that all I do all day long is laugh??? well, it might be true).
I'm planning on another one about the jury vote, particularly since Finland had the decency of actually publishing the whole results, even how many votes got every country on the televote and how the jury voted, so it might be a fun thing to see how results might have been altered. What do you think?
On the Oslo-Bucharest thing, well, I woulnd't mind going to Romania, but I kind of planned my whole trip yesterday (obsession?), and I'd have to change everything!!!

Hey Fabulous!
Multa mesc mult!
That boss got you working again?

I win. Hard Luck

You are obviously blogging while I'm blogging.
My latest is just for you. It's meant to please.

Oh, and what did you mean by "Trust Me" ?
Am I going to have to search for an Internet cafe in the wilds of Cumbria ???

Ok, I admit being stupid enough so as to post my previous comment before reading your blog... now I understand... and no, it's not undiplomatic, I just f*ing loved it!!
BTW, hate your boss if he stops you from going to Oslo... on the other hand, it would actually make me go all the way to Romania to kill him... ever so softly!

Ok, I didn't get your last post? What did you mean??!!

:))) Glad to hear the link came at the moment you needed it.:) I'll see about the story publishing... First I'll tell it to YOU till the end... though there is never an end until we're alive and even after..:). And then maybe some part of it.
I'm sure that your boss will keep putting up with anything as long as you manage to accomplish your cool projects. Even if you all of a sudden appear in the doorway of your office with a cow leashed.

Ok, now I'm really beginning to panic. But let's agree on something. You come to Mexico, we have a blast, and then, just before you live, then you kill me, not softly, not anything, just plain kill me... does that sound appealing to you?? lol.
BTW, I've started to look up for prices to go to Norway next may, and I think I will be able to afford it, so I'm starting to save immediately, and well, be a doll with my bosses so that they'll allow for a really long vacation (is this too much of an obsession?? in my house everyone's starting to judge me lol).
Well, I leave you for now, tons of work ahead, so until tomorrow, this is it from me!!
Love from Mexico

Oh, he's lovely.:)

are you blackmailing me on the cow issue??!! Hmmm, let me think, how could I get back at you??? I don't know, for now I think I just don't remember anything... but what if my mind became awake suddenly???!!! lol!!!!!
(ok, I'll stick to the incredible works of the diplomacy lol).

Hi Fabiana - never mind - guys can't resist a gorgeous girl either - look at my selections - Iceland and Estonia - say no more ;-)!!!

well well, aren't we the diplomatic kind?? lol official and unofficial answers... believe me, the smile on my face right now is huge!!!
I'll post something not at all related to the contest, but that has had me awfully sad all day long. Mario Benetti's death. I just don't know how to start, I might again cry (and on a Monday afternoon in the office it would speak horribly of me if I blamed it on the alcohol).

jajajajaja I'm burstin to tears laughing at your reflections on your options for a pet. Well, in my post I surely presented you with a much more tempting offer lol.

About your blog, well, yet again I'm flattered, and btw really sorry that Mexico can take part. I'm sure we would only send amazing songs (not lol), but it sure would be nice to see how I'd manage all the bitching I'd have coming!!! Especially from you, of course lol.
I share the feeling of everything that you wrote, so I'll kind of just adhere myself to it.
I thank you especially for making this season incredible.
We'll of course keep in touch.
My email, just in case, is rodras29@hotmail.com
Cheers

Well, this time it really took way too long to answer... but I'm having a near-death experience with my hangover and I didn't seem able to put two ideas together.
First of all, I'll gladly give you Alexander to take home and pet forever. Just one question, though... how on earth will you beat to death the other million girls who actually want to take him too???!!!
As for my girl, what can I say, she really did make me proud (I admit to being close to crying, but then again it probably was the alcohol taking control of my emotions lol), just once more I think she came close to perfection.
As for the show, I'll try to post something later, or tomorrow, but well, I too think Turkey should have scored a lot less and Malena, Chiara and Soraya a lot more.
Cheers, I'll get back to you when I'm feeling better and sound-minded enough to comment your latest post!!

Yes, the same was here (hangover.lol). So I escaped today from the world and myself and went ... fishing. Well, not quite alone. And u know, spending half a day by the river, with the only music of bird voices and water bubbling, with the final catch that was hardly sufficient for kitten's supper... it was exactly what was needed to change rails. A new life starts from tomorrow. I am so glad to have met a person like you here, Fab.:))) A moment ago I read your last blog and swallowed a tear (...although I don't know how is possible for an object to travel from eyes to throat...).. I really do hope not to lose contacts.. well, at least the fact that next spring we'll probably anyway meet in this site warms my heart. I don't know whether they leave this site open for all the year. But just in case they don't... can I find you in facebook or anywhere? I'm not there but I can be. At least to be able to send Christmas greetings to you.:))

Hi Fabiana
I agree with most of what you said in your "believe in" blog, and feel honoured that I have come to make your aquaintance. Unfortunately there will be no rendezvous in Ireland or Estonia next year. If I win the lottery, then I will arrange for a private jet to take you, me and your Irish friends to Norway for a Euro-Scandinavian SC Party (tell your friends to bring the Guiness and I will bring the strawberries lol).
I have been working hard, whilst I've been away, but this time for charity. I have a camper van which I used as a refreshment point on a charity cycle ride. Afterwards, I raced across England to attend a Eurovision Party, which was great. I then finished off the weekend by watching my Rugby team lose to the bottom of the League club. So, it's been a bit of a roller coaster weekend. I'm now cheering myself up by writing to you. Hope you don't feel too used !!!
Anyway, it's back to work in six hours, but I do have a weeks holiday to look forward to starting next Friday. Hope you're not jealous. Bye

Coucou Fabiana !
Merci pour ton dernier blog qui résume totalement mon état d'esprit. Alors oui rendez-vous à Oslo !!! J'ai moi aussi quand même quelques interrogations sur le concours quand je vois la Suède, l'Albanie et l'Espagne sans point des téléspectateurs ??? Enfin I have a dream...

Oh well my curse works again. I keep picking the second song! That's the last three years I have had a song do that. I remember in 2000 I liked Alsou for Russia - she came second too! hahahaha
Still it was good to watch - now I've just got to wait for another year for the next one. Till then I'll enjoy the CD's and DVDs.
The winner was good - just a little too cute for me - but a catchy song!

Oh yeah, I'm also so happy about Alexander.:))) I can only imagine how happy HE is now. If even victory was predicted then not with such enormous predominance of points..:) Yes, let's see, and why not a trip to Oslo next year.:)))
(Anna is singing in Fairytale's melody)
...Now good ni-iight
Fa-bi-aaana,
It is ve-ry late!
I don't care if I lose my miiiind
I am haaalf asleeep!....

Hey I'm back, with ice cream and 10 ingredients ON IT.lol
I hope you're also seated yourself comfortably, with your friendly company, popcorn (and else), excitement, smiles etc.
Happy watching! I'd like to vote for you, just because you are as you are... but since it's not possible, I'll vote (also) for Romania tonight.:)))

Yeah, I might just end in The Hague for crimes against human kind lol. But well, it will be for a good cause, I think, so I'll probably be able to take it.
I hadn't explored that possibility when it comes to my hating Alexander, but I'm not ready to discard it (regardless of what I wrote in my blog)... after all, why should one guy alone get everybody's attention... boy, leave some for the average guy!!!
Well, happy eurovision, we'll surely get back with comments (and a lot of bitching) on the final!!!

Thank you so much Fabiana!!!

Coucou Fabiana !!!

Merci pour ton dernier pti message qui me touche beaucoup. Je vais publier mon TOP 10 et malheureusement je n'ai pas réussi à y mettre la roumanie... C'est trop dur cette année, j'ai jamais vu ça ! Cependant tu es my number one et si je devais voter pour la meilleure blogueuse du quartier, ce serait toi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ENORMES BISOUS

Yeah, at last all this nightmare will be over.:D I am really interested in the outcome, it cannot be predicted with much certainty this time...
Oh, I am going to the theatre this evening. Bullets over Broadway by Woody Allen, a musical comedy, in Latvian of course. I know that I'll return home just 10-15 minutes befor the FINAL. So... this time I'll drop into some shop instead of fairycooking. Ice cream... Tiramisu... I'll see.:))) Are you a large company who use to watch E-Vision together at your home?:) There are five of us... all ages, all tastes..:

Thanks! If i don't watch it tonight, I'll watch it tomorrow morning, so don't worry!

I hope I'll be in time for the final and I hope I won't be too tired, so that I can watch it. It starts at midnight here. Still I'm not sure I'll succeed.

you're right! Wow! the day has come! I mean it's my best friend's birthday today...Ah yes and the final is...today too. Are you going to vote?

G'day mate! hahaha
How are you? I'm looking forward to the final tomorrow - getting up at 4am and all that! Still I want to se it happening - so that's what I have to do!
I still like Iceland and Estonia. Beautiful songs! There's lots of other potential winners too. I like Spain, Germany and I was impressed by Greece in the second semi! Who are you tipping?? Roumania?
I think it's going to be a good one - but there is going to be only one winner.
Enjoy!

Bonsoir Fabiana !
J'ai beaucoup ri de ton commentaire sur Zoli Adok fashion pants... Un peu de plus et ta future vache l'aurait mangé ! OUI le chanteur croate a une trés belle voix et finalement ils ont réussi à me convaincre que la lumière est plus forte que les ténèbres. Tout va bien à Nantes, je t'embrasse
PS : je vote pour que tu deviennes le coach personnel d'Alexander

Hmm, I liked them... imperfections did not hit my ear so badly as to spoil it..:) Besides that, I liked Sasha Son's performance, even more than before, from the videos. And Nelly Ciobanu was almost perfect to me. I loved Sakis eyebrows. And I hope Alexander will by some miracle give a natural and fascinating performance tomorrow...:)

I'm fine now. Oranges are my best friends, they make me happy! LOL. And you're right no more depressive music(I just love it so much).

To tell the truth I'm quite blue.... I hate this feeling when you are sad and you want to cry without any reason, I was as joyful as ever only a few hour ago, but now I'm sitting listening to Plant screamin' "It kinda makes my life a drag..." and doing the thing I hate most of all (I mean complaining;). Hey but you know your blog made me smile. Agree with every word and hey I noticed that shoes too)))

I agree with everything you have written. Exactly the same thought about gun pointing at Alexander as he started to sing. Hmm, and how did you like Aysel and Arash??

I really think it's time we took matters in our own hands and do what we should have done months ago with Alexander lol!!!! But really, he is so annoying to look at, everything about him seems fake, plastic, like his every move, his every smile are rehearsed a thousand times. What leaves me a little bit more peaceful is that after yesterday's performance I certainly don't see him as a winner. The jury will certainly work against him!!
I can't wait to read your semifinal 2 title frenzy... that will surely be hilarious!!!

Thank you very much.. Was tramblin, for hours yesterday . Envelope number 8.. The whole thing maked me really nervous, but happy now..Hoping for top 10 for us in the final... See you later.

Well I guess it was fair, Christina didn't perform well enough... Estonia and Moldova were great. But on the whole the show wasn't so impressive. Let's hope the final will be better.

....and Moldova is in, too.:))

Agreed! Let's cobtact EBU lol!

Oh yes, I was just waiting for the meal to jell and chill and then I'll send you a portion.:) It is a mix (in layers) of 1) vanilla pudding, 2) chocolate biscuits, 3) peaches, 4) bananas, 5) kiwi, 6) raisins, 7) ground chocolate 8) almond slices, 9) walnut crumbs, 10) caramelized hazelnut crumbs, 11) rum essence,... and you know the last... emm... 12) strawberries! But you know what... i'll put instead of s***s something else on top of your portion... THREE LARGE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES!
(....then I'll know that you'll like at least the top:)

I really don't understand how Elena could be chosen, I mean you are right any of them would be better.

haha that was reincarnation's music that made us dance in the street that day.LOL.Yeah you are right, but that's a real pity that all those crappy songs are loved by everyone, and a lot of talented guys just don't get the attention they deserve, but that makes me like their music even more.;)Glad you enjoyed it.

I've just watched Dalma's video, And you know this song is far better than Balkan girls.

Thank you, Fab:))) And good luck to your three 2nd-semi faves from your top-7!

Sometimes it seems to me that music is dead in Armenia, I mean there are some really good bands but they are not for the public, so few people appreciate them, they just give concerts in some clubs for the people who do not want to hear the awful music on TV. So you'll hardly find anything in the Internet, I guess you can watch some videos by Bambir in youtube(that's the folk-rock band that failed to win the pre-selection, love them) and Dorians, their song Fly was in pre-selection too, it's not a masterpiece, but the vocalist is a new Freddy Mercury)))), hah I mean he's really great, and Reincarnation(it's a reggea band). I can give you some links in youtube

Hey, I liked 'Purple', I haven't heard the other song you meantion .. I actually really liked some of the songs from the national final .. I like "Dear Mama" & Don't Leave" too.

Well, there's certainly nothing wrong with your Spanish (well, one or two details, jaja, but it's certainly easy to understand).
So now I'm troubled, I don't know whether to write in English or Spanish (given that my Romanian is limited to peo-margine de lume jajajaja).
Well, first of all, before I forget. 'amigo del alma' would translate as a really good friend, alma=soul, amigo=friend.
Of course I agree with you in your excitement with Romania being in the final (I secretly, deep deep down inside, feel glad too, just because of you, although I'll never admit it publicly... fuck, I just did jaja).
And thanks for the quotes, now you've touched my heart and I won't sue you for copyright infringement!!!
Well, hope to read you soon again, I totally loved your last post (yet again)

Fabiana - my selections for the first semifinal were ( in no order!) Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Finland, Malta, Iceland ( my fave in this section), Israel, Montenegro and Finland. I had a competition with someone at work to see who could pick the most - and I won - she only got 5! Yay! hahaha. Lets see how I go tonight.

Hello again..

Feeling pretty nervous now, but i hope it goes well tonight though. It's so pity to get the favorite stamp, when it looks like alexander is pretty tired of whole the circus.. Maybe not, i don't know.. lol.
Anyway i wish you the best of luck on Saturday. SEE YOU!

Haven't listened to a single Brainstorm song today, but it's only 14:40 so I have a lot of time to correct this mistake. I used to listen to their songs all day long for weeks when i first heard them. Can't say the same about venetian snares but I still love them. Ready for the show? I think the second semi-final should be better than the first one.

Hey girl!!! Congrats on Romania making it to the final... I still think that the jury will smash Elena, but hey, as you say, let's hope you get back on your feet in no time to start preparing for 2010... hope you bring something as fantastic as Peo-Margine de Lume, or Let Me Try!!!
Still, I love your references to my comments ono your posts (I feel important jajajajajajajajaja)

Hey Balkan City Cowgirl haha XD

ROMANIA GOT THROUGH- Whooooo!! :P

Aw thank you hopefully they'll get through *fingers crossed*

Enjoy tomorrow night eh ;)
xxx
P.S those presenters and drugs LOL!!

Jahaa, except for Switzerland's non qualifying, I had no special disappointments from the first semi.:) Only I was a bit surprised that Johanna obviously managed to get in not from televote but only thanks to jury. A pleasant surprise was the guy from Belarus, I liked him much more than before that, from videos. And of course, Israel... Sooo appealing.:) Hmm, I read your blog... I somehow did not notice their dresses at all... oh, I did not mean to be ambiguous LOL ... But I agree with everything you write there. As you said, strange similarity of thought between us.:)
Heyy, second semi tomorrow!:)) (ohhh... I start imagining Romero's smashing expressions concerning Latvian performance after that..:(... but regrettably I already know I will agree. This is not our year.
But this does not prevent me from finding pleasure in many other things about this.:))
A genius. lol

I was eating strawberries while writing the blog.lol. I feel so perfectly happy these days, I wish everybody was that happy.
Hey thanks for appreciating our sisters, it seemed to me they were a little nervous...But the cameras were so bad that I didn't see half of the performance!

Salut Fabiana !

Trop de bonheur hier en voyant la Roumanie qualifiée, ce qui est bête c'est que nous n'avons pas pu déguster ni petits suisses ni yaourt... Par contre j'ai compensé par une méga glace car l'Islande m'a fait une forte impression (c'est peut-être à cause de la chaleur dans mon salon).
Bises Kisses (Pupic ? ;-))

hi,

how was the show, did you like it?

good luck
shirley

Well done Fabiana and Elena - She was FANTASTIC Last night. I am so happy you are in the final. I will be voting for sure for you

Good Luck from Ireland

Cheers
Gary

Yeah, it was unexpected but I liked Belarus and Sweden too. I think Petr should have qualified!

Fabiana my congrates! Romania did it!!!

I know .. well I was a bit worried because if I'm honest Elena's performance wasn't amazing, her vocals were but the actual performance wasn't.

Hey I love Israel's entry now. didn't quite get it at first, but when I heard them tonight, they were beautiful!;)

Congratulations.. I knew it..!!!
Hugs..!

Hey, Switzerland out! Hope you're not too upset! But Armenia and Romania are in the final, so congratulations to both of us)))And Regina, too. I'm very happy...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!:))))))))

Lovebugs were really good tonight!!!

:))) I admire Johann Strauss and waltzing my head off, although the opportunity to waltz comes not so often (only in weddings, and besides that, every June when Latvians have our traditional Midsummer Night Festivity with open-air parties and dancing until morning. I like dancing in the rain, too.
But then, as I read your blog, I peeped in the youtube to crib some dancing-related titles so that to write such a comment here as to seem a very erudite person...lol.. but the first one that caught my eye was this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvW6nuQ2B0s
It appealed to me and made me serious, since I was taught to dance by my father when I was a little girl... he passed away more than ten years ago.
So I'll stop flashing with my musical knowledge at this.:)
Three hours left to wait! Hey, don't dare to fall asleep during the semi, no matter when you went to bed last night!! The Earth would become a miserable place if you shoot yourself!

Salut Fabiana !!!!!
My answer is CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Au fait je vois que tu n'épargnes pas la chanson des Pays Bas et bien tu as raison ! Jamais entendu un truc aussi no taste at all !
Pour ma part ce soir j'aurai une pensée évidemment pour le yaourt mais surtout pour la Balkan's girl que tu es : Alors moi je dis ROUMANIE qualifiée, big bisous

Nah, not crazy at all, or well maybe just a little))))))) And which type of dancer r u? dancing and singing in the rain sounds as good as dancing in the streets or supermarkets)))

Hey Fabiana..!

Thumbs up and Good Luck to Romania tonight..!!

Fabiana - I call the Estonian song - hauntingly beautiful!

I wish everybody did!)))

Yeeeha!:))) May 12 has buzzed in. Hey, don't sit and work too late, the next evening will be long and thrilling!:) Good luck for Romania on this evening.:)))

what do you think about armenia?

Already done, I guess he's the one pushing me away. I'm still resisting though)))))

I'm here. I've been out all day, dancing and singing right in the street))) People looked at me and my friends as if we were crazy! LOL. I wanted to write another blog about it, but my brother hardly lets me near the comp today.

surprisingly, yes haha. I can't seem to get it out of my head... now I fear of losing my job, since my performance this week will probably be far from good (kidding).
No, really, I'm very excited.
BTW, again, I've loved your latest posts... and even though it probably had nothing to do with it, the reading between the lines part, I almost felt it mine (now I'm probably reading between the lines way too much), but as usual I agree with you, and really hope to keep in touch after the contest, via email, msn, facebook or whatever.
And your last one, I really laughed a lot.
Well, the time has come, let's see what ends up happening tomorrow!!!

LOL, cowgirl.:))))

No, the title is great!)))))) I wasn't expecting to read about such a desire when I read it. You're making ppl happy with your blogs)))))) I just can't stop smiling....Hey I've told you that I don't like Romanian song, but you never said if you liked Armenian entry...I'm eager to know.

A cow?!!!!!! Hey, Fabiana, you are a real genius! You should have seen me laughing))But if it was up to me I would choose a pig, pigs are much sweeter. LOL. especially piglets...........

alright I won't:) This thoughts occured to me while watching a Radiohead video. Don't even know why, the video had nothing to do with all this. it just seems to me that they really understand the concept of music... Do you watch the rehearsals?

Nice to meet a person in whose mind ideas are swarming in their multitude instead of cheeping solitarily.:)
Yes, this coming of ideas „out of the blue” and words „falling into place” in your case is probably a talent, i.e. a gift from the God. But you have more than that – personal attitude. Some awesome inherent goodness. Despite your tirade concerning „I’m not a polite person” :)
I totally agree with your last blog, Miss Inspiring.:) I’ve sometimes thought that the concept „friend” has been in a way depreciated in the internet space, in sites where you make personal profiles and „make friends” – often it is just a convenient and attractive word heading the lists of names that are added by one click. In reality the essence is actually deeply and highly something else.
I’d like to add that, like Latvians say, probably „you’re the kind of person with whom one can go together on a reconnaissance patrol”. (I don’t know whether it is close by meaning to Michael’s cited „Baby you can drive my car”, but anyway.:D)
Have a great Sunday!:)

Just caught up with your last six blogs and all I can say is "Baby you can drive my car"
You really are astounding.
Keep up the good work.

I've now blogged chapter one of three.
Chapter two in about 24 hours time and Chapter three before Saturday Night.
Hope you're keeping well.
love Mick

What a nice surprise.. i'v got so many friends here but no one from Romania.
Have to tell, love your song this year.. i am going to vote for it. I'm sure you are going straight to the finale... Sorry, am a little bit busy but guess i see you later here.. Take care..!!!

Just now drone Anna is sitting here after a busy day, drinking peppermint tea with some strawberries (sorry for mention!!;) and at last glancing through what bees have produced during the last 24 hours. And yes, if space and time could be overcome with one step and one second, I would gladly go out with you and drink tea, coffe or anything and even abstain from strawberries (lol).
btw, couldn't it be so that in your person we encounter a professional writer here...? ;) I admire everything in your blogs starting from the captivating way of expounding on the subject, ideas, attitude, sense of humour, language... Respect (especially for one particular blog) and hugs.:) Good night!

Hey, yeah i love the song and i hope it does well but i think that normal songs, good songs don't fair well in eurovision. Hope it does well though!

Thanks! Hearing it from you is the best thing I could think of. I'm not saying it to be polite I really think so(hm in fact I almost never say anything just to be polite). I was a little unsure if my ideas are interesting to anybody)) Liked your blog too, you're quite right about the jury and the voting.

just Icelandic people don't like having opera in eurovision, but i like it and the rest of europe, of course, Marija Selikovic won with an opera song in 2007

Hi again Fabiana
Thanks for the encouragement to blog. I will seriously think about it. (I'm a bit like a good malt whiskey - I need a good long rest in a barrel before I can reach my best) Hope you can wait that long. Or to quote Take That - Have little PATIENCE.
On the other hand, I'm getting a bit of an urge now. See you !!!
(Hope I blog on the correct site !!)

Salut Fabiana !
C'est un grand bonheur que de te lire, merci de comprendre mon franglish. Je sais que tu es dingue des p'tits suisses (tiens une autre spécialité culinaire). Moi je préfère les yaourts made in bulgaria surtout avec de la confiture ! En dehors de plaisanter je suis triste que La Suisse abandonne ses trois langues officielles pour Shakespeare depuis maintenant trop longtemps, surtout qu'elle met en avant ses sacro-saints particularismes. J'aurais préféré Goethe c'est tout surtout que la musique est géniale !

jajajaja, I'll elaborate a little then... and btw, I'm not taking my compliments off the table hehe. I think you have a great sense of humor, with a perfect touch of sarcasm (ok, I think you are pretty sarcastic and I f'ing love it!!!), and reading between the lines you seem to be a really sweet person.
There, I said it, that's pretty much why I like you so much!!!

well you just make a guess! alright I confess it's me!)))

A gladiator's salute from Latvia! Thanks for commentary, Fab.:) Hey, btw have you ever participated as a live eyewitness in an ESC? Oh, I hope you could do that some year, and write "war correspondent's" blogs here... :))

Hehe - still in Norway. Going to Moscow this Sunday, looking forward to that. Should be good! :o)

Yeah I agree! Maybe it's natural, though I always thought that these guys would stay young and crazy even at the age of 80.

P.S. to my last comment... other reasons exist, I'll just keep them to myself for now hehe

Loved your two latest posts btw. Particulary the surviving tips, and even more so number 3. I coulnd't stop laughing.
As for the rehearsal videos, so far I've been able to resist and not watch them at all. I know that might lower my possibilities of adjusting my predictions, but this year I want to be surprised on the very night of the party (battle, and please don't accuse me of plagiarism).
The very last comment that you left for Shirley Shomron is widely shared by me, and it truly makes me even surer that I actually want to keep your frienship!

Well, I did say that the song is likeable, and what makes me hate it at times are the guys. Still, what really makes me want the Netherlands in the final this year, more than the song itself is the fear that they might withdraw in the future. I know this should (and I hope it will) be all about musical quality, but only for this time, I do hope that they'll somehow manage to sneak to the final. And well, for some the cheesiness might be funny, so I don't know, probably that'll do.

Well it isn't that horrible... if it wasn't Brainstorm, I'm sure I'd love it. But I expect smth different from them. This one is kinda ordinary... Where r the emotions, the crazyness... Where r the guys running after the girl on the bike(hope you've seen Under My Wing video)))). So u feel just the same way as I do.

good day,

this is my e mail if you want to write to me.

nona1968@walla.com
nona1968@012.net,il

Shirley Shomron

good day,

thank you for the letter.
keep in tuch.

yours Shirley Shomeon

Ah yeah it started as cool as Monday! Hey have you heard Brainstorm's new album? I'm kinda disappointed(

Salut Fabiana !
Moi aussi je suis près de l'attaque cardiaque, je suis nerveux et les chansons m'envahissent la tête. Merci pour tes précieux conseils de santé
Bises

Hey ho, Fabiana. thanks for remembering.:) The photo session was successful, my friends were pleased (which was gratifying for an amateur like me) and I hope the poster and booklet will look nice (oh yes, apart from pictures there will probably be also some insignificant text, about their coming concert or somewhat :DD).
(Before going to bed Anna reads the last blog by Fabiana and then furtively clicks into the world of a couple of her ESC2009 favs... probably for more than a dozenth time...:) Maybe I'll blog myself about my top, when else if not in one of these days. Good night, Fab.:))

Oh I had such a wonderful day! U can't even imagine. Everything was so perfect even the weather... Wish u a great week too!

yeah, speaking to people from different parts of the world is great, maybe that's the reason i'm here. I've met quite a few interesting people here. Anyway I expect smth different from music, I consider it good if it's driving me crazy, but nothing drives me crazy here))) It's probably not that bad, but surely not good either. There r quite a few songs that r OK , but... that's not what I really like u see...

that's awesome, www.myspace.com/agentfresco check this band out! it's better than Sigur ros on my opinion =D
i'll do few more blogs for you, haha

Bonjour Fabiana

Merci pour ton petit mot et pour tes blogs que j'adore ! Je suis vraiment heureux de te compter parmis mes amis sur ce site. En effet je vois Chiara en finale (Malte est toujours bien soutenu et Chiara a une véritable aura) mais pour ma part cette année je trouve cette chanson sans ambition. J'aime avoir des nouvelles de Roumanie, je connais la région de Constanza et le Delta. A bientôt

Bises de France

hehe! don't worry! I'll tell you smth, that's kinda my secret. In fact I don't like eurovision)))My faves r just the ones I consider better than others, at least most of them. That's really strange, if I don't like eurovision what the hell am I doing here? sometimes I ask myself this ques.

Hey, well, I really don't know about Israel and Montenegro, as I said in my post, the Israeli entry will be one of those love-it-or-hate-it ones, but my hunch is that it'll just miss it, plus Montenegro has more friendly vote to rely on.
As for Romania and Macedonia, again, in the past Macedonia has seemed to be, together with Turkey, the one which most benefits from the neighbour vote, plus Romania has now lost the vote of Spain... I don't know, you might be right about this one, but I honestly hope you're not.
Thanks for your comments, and hope to keep in touch!

I've just had a thought, Fabiana,
I visit Ireland fairly regularly, usually the County Cork area, but I also like Belfast.
You have lots of Irish friends. Lets all vote for Ireland, then when they win we can all have a party at the 8th Irish ESC.
I've never had strawberries dipped in guinness before. You'll have to make do with just the Guinness.
Top of the Morning to ya
Mick

Back to brilliance I see. Sorry I haven't got back sooner. I've been like a bee.
See my reply to your latest communication on my profile.

(under the impression of you're last blog)This one was really great one. You just can't imagine how much I agree with every word in it))

Ah yes Cyprus is great! I'm so dizzy, I've just woke up after 3-hour nap... Hehe maybe I sleep to much...Oh u know I'm sorry to tell u but I don't like your entry this year. Romania could do much better(((

May your day also be expialidocious! :-)

Funny blog.:D) Your blogs are like CIPELAS in the uniform BISTRA VODA of the usual propaganda writings here.:)

Hey, hey, hey, what a wonderful day!:) Many friends to meet and the Sun over my head and many suns at my feet, dandelions so to say, and and I was offered a photojob today, not for money but for honey... my friends musicians are going to have a concert and they asked me to make photos for the posters... and the sky is blue and I send Thursday greetings to you!:-)

Don't believe there's anybody who hates them)) ahhh I like Norah jones too, she has such a beautiful voice...

Hey fabiana! Thanks for addin'! How r u? I like your blogs)))

...I am becoming dependent on your blogs.:) I'm sure you're loved not only by your would-be goldfish, your parents and Carmen, but by many many friends and acquaintances.

Oh, Fabiana (the name suits you well... association with fabulous... I mean your writing skills:-D). When Miss Inspiration came, I was probably not at home.. Blog writing needs motivation for me, while reading in its turn is a pleasure by itself so that I more often choose to be rather a drone than a bee.:))
A starry smile from nightly Latvia.:)

Hi again Fabiana,
I am now late for work, having peeked at your blogs and found they were like a good book. I couldn't put it down !!!
Your writing craft is second to none. Your sense of humour abounds. I found myself excited at the anticipation of reading the next line. You have captivated me with your writings and I can't wait for the next series.
I knew some good would come out of my association with Eurovision for so long.
My top 7 consists of 16 plus 3 not sures.
I am sorry to say that after one listening, Switzerland doesn't figure.
However, how many times have I first heard a song and not liked it ? Then it's grown on me after several more listenings...... Countless times !!!
My 16 in alphabetical order are:-
Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belgium (Yes Belgium - it entertains me), Estonia, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Lithuania, Malta, Moldova, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Turkey and Ukraine.
My not sures are:- Isreal, Latvia and Sweden.
I've probably given the kiss of death to them all qualifying now. (and OK there were 17 - Maths was never my strong point !!!)
I'm definitely going to work now. Hope to communicate with you later. You will no doubt have lots of constructive criticism about my choices and ommisions. There's nothing like a good argument !!! Is there ?
Love, Mick.

Thankyou for requesting my friendship..
I am just on my way to work at this moment in time. So I will have to speak to you later.
I have listened to all the songs only once so far. At the moment Ireland is my favourite followed by Moldova and Ukraine. But that may change as I listen to them over again.
Normally I would have listened to all the songs several times by now, but I have been away in Australia for a month visiting my son and his family. He had a limit on how much he could download, so I could not listen or watch the videos there.

I'm sitting and laughing here,reading your blog.. I admire your style of writing and sense of humour and am really looking forward to the ESC time, and to interesting blog stories with fresh impressions by you, Romero... and many others.:) I myself am more of a reader, not a writer.:)

It is our main monument - in the centre of Riga (capital of Latvia), Monument of Freedom.
See in the Internet also: http://www.shutterpoint.com/Photos-ViewPhoto.cfm?id=604486
Sculptures at the bottom, then 19 m high obelisk and 9 m high statue of woman's figure (symbol of Latvia here). I zoomed in, and by chance caught a moment when a bird was just sitting on one of the three stars she holds (although I know that the authorities have put some anti-bird device there.:D)

No torn jeans or howling stomach can prevail over an opportunity of a great shot.:)

Hello, Fabiana, thanks for adding.:) yes, and I see another common interest - coldplay.:) About photography - in the meantime while I am not hunting for the right moment or lighting, or crawling on the ground for some macro shot, I wander about photo portals, and also deviantart..:) Goodluck Romania in the ESC 2009.:)

Hi There Fabiana. Thank you for adding me to your friends. I have to say thank you to Romania for the Blakan Girls this year. I love the song. It makes me feel happy every time I hear it. I hope you get to the final so I can vote for you.

Good Luck in your Semi Final
Greetings from Ireland
Cheers
Gary
