Well I won the lotteri once that was a great day

Wait, what? No way.

I was alone for four days, best days of my life

The best? Are you sure? Even if you, I dunno, won the lottery?

I would kill to be home alone for one day Creeper me like Her name is Ellen.

You say that now, but when you actually are it's nothing but one big pile of "what on earth do I do now" D'awww.

Sounds pretty nice though you would be perfect for each other

It's kinda nice, but being home alone all day isn't exactly what it's cracked up to be when you're like me and can never think of anything to do. What's her name? *puts on creeperface*

:lmfao: Number seven sound like you're discribing a typical day in my sister's life

Laugh all you want, but that is literally my exact routine for the past few weeks. Maybe your sister and I should hang.

Okay, so take us through a day in the life of the boss

Okay.

Step One: wake up. Usually around 11:30.

Step Two: go the heck back to bed. BECAUSE YOU CAN.

Step Three: Wake up. Usually anywhere from 2-4.

Step Four: Proceed to turn on your computer, in bed, without even so much as turning the lights on, and screw around on the internet.

Step Five: Eventually get out of bed, go down stairs, and screw around on the internet.

Step Six: Remember to eat something. This is important. You do not want to forget. The boss forgets easily.

Step Seven: Your family gets home from work. Pretend you have done something interesting. Eat with them and give your opinion on the ebola outbreak. They think you have learnt something. They are not very bright.

Step Eight: Eventually, everyone will go to bed. They will also ask you to come to bed. Do not. It is the inherent responsibility of the boss to stay downstairs and pet the cats while googling murder tactics or some other only slightly relevant information.

Step Nine: Now that everyone's asleep, you remember to eat. Eat everything. Leave all wrappers on the dresser, because waking up in the middle of the night to toss them is essential.

Step Ten: At like 4 am, you can go to sleep. You were tired at maybe 1:30, but that wasn't sufficiently late. Repeat.

Can't arguee with that

No, no you can't. Bc I'm da boss.

It is indeed. I adored RW much of my life, through thick and thin.

 

I had a Mork t-shirt in junior high that was him from the waist up, and I liked to tuck it into my jeans and make it look like he was wearing my jeans. I went to my dad and I said "Look! Mork is in my pants!" My dad replied, "You might want to rephrase that if you tell anybody else... " I, of course, had no idea what he was talking about...

Ha! Lemme just say that that is hilarious. My dad is a huge Mork & Mindy fan, and I think that show was my first real introduction to RW. I used to love Bicentennial Man too when I was younger. It sucks that someone who brought so much laughter to peoples' lives had to leave us in such a way.

You mean good night

Shhhhhhh. It's summer. I can totally stay in bed until 4 pm.

Good morning guys~

Okay, you asked for it!

 

I don't know how much of the last few weeks' events I told you before, but things have been pretty stressful and all around crap lately. I'm technically homeless right now, couch surfing at my dad's because I haven't much income when I'm not temping, and work is dwindling down at my current assignment...

 

Well! A declined FB event invitation that I posted led to someone encouraging me to come - someone who then looked at my jewelry that I make, and I am now jewelry designer/director for two local modeling shoots later this month! And connecting with her led to some other leads for potential shop opps here... so I'm pretty hopeful.

 

And I made it official this weekend - I have a new place to live, still going to be mostly broke, but hopefully things will change for the better with all this new infusion of good stuff.

Congratulations! My situation isn't the best either, so I know how it feels to have something like that happen. I'm so glad for you And your jewelry is lovely, by the way.

Having quite the day so far. Want the details?

Oh my gosh, yes. Do tell.

Popping in to say hi, 'cause I've been away until earlier this morning...

Hey bby, how are ya?

Here are some "intresting" names: Jezzie, Tintin, Pippi, Bernad, Dagmar, Nåwa I just want to puke...

Hahaha those aren't terrible. Theyre not good either, though

Ooh, if a grammar book tells you that then it's definitely correct. Thanks for pointing that out. I thought the order of pronouns could be decided by the person using them.

Although there is a possibility there are different rules for British English, since that book seems to be referring to American English. Thanks for letting me know.

I think your mum has the right idea - it would simplify matters.

Who knew our language was so confusing?

I would imagine it's the same for British English, but I couldn't know for sure since I've never actually been outside of the US. Yeah, I think being a native speaker you speak so intuitively that you only realize how weird things are when you're trying to explain them.

Yes a bit actually, people want to bee way too unique this days xD You should hear what people are naming their kids this days

 

 

 

Sounds like me I sleep way too much and I'm still tired

 

If I should hear, you should tell me I'm intrigued

There is often a misconception with regards to pronoun usage amongst native speakers. Children are often told that they must refer to the other person before themselves, and always refer to themselves with the pronoun "I". It's for this reason that "she and I" might sound better than "me and her" to even a native speaker. However, I think this is incorrect.

But I could be wrong.

By the way, I love your siggy.

I'm about 99% certain that the bit about referring to another person before yourself is actually grammatically correct, though, rather than a simple misconception. This is what I learned in school from a young age, and indeed is something that is still being told to us even in high school. And the last I checked, it's also the correct way according to the American Heritage Guide to Contemporary Usage and Style Thanks!

Edit: Also, I've just asked my mom, and she says it would also be better to find a way to use "we" or "us" instead of "she and I" because changing that sentence structure would probably sound a lot more natural. Obviously you don't need to get that far into it, though.

Wouldn't change my last name either, not even if I get married The funny thing though is that the traditional old Swedish -son names are getting more and more rare and will soon be exotic

That's almost sad, actually. The names were a thing that was unique to your heritage. Now not as many people will have that thing in common just because they want to be unique

It should be "me and her", because those are the pronouns you use when you are referring to the object(s) of a sentence. If you can't decide which to use, try using just one pronoun at a time. E.g.

 

Why did everybody do something but she?" isn't right, and neither is Why did everybody do something but I?"

 

But Why did everybody do something but her?" is right, and so is Why did everybody do something but me?"

 

So the correct sentence would be "Why did everybody do something but me and her?"

 

To answer your other question, I'm not sure of the rules regarding "only" and "just", but I think they're often interchangeable. I could only tell you which to use when given context.

I'm not sure about the only vs. just either, particularly out of context, but if what I've learned was correct, wouldn't it be more of

Why did everybody do something but she and I?

Sorry I haven't been here

Love the NEW thread btw

Thank you

And Grace about the name changing thing, people find it boring to have the same name as pretty much the rest of the population in Sweden, that's why people are giving up on the traditional last names and give themselves new more, in their opinion, interesting names

Well that IS boring. But... but...

I probably wouldn't change my last name. Buuuuuut to each their own I suppose.

are you trying to say i don't go out ?

 

I was out during the day yesterday then at the bar last night

No, I'm trying to say that I don't.

Nothing much,trying my best to even stay awake,ive woke up today so drained of energy and now even more cos i went out taking photos at this country park (got food too only then to have a wasp annoy the hell outta me >< )

 

so am pooped my feet hurt D:

That sucks! But hey, at least you've done something today, I've just stayed in and watched a movie.

hai

What's up?

But the old stuff is the good stuff

New stuff is good too though!

Hey :3

Grace, I'm reading out past conversations on the old SSR threads and the nostalgia is killing me

wow the nostalgia's even got to you I feel like we talk way too much about how much we miss the old stuff
