[fumidesigns]

I'm just wonderful. How r u?

[Macfanforever]

I'm just wonderful. How r u?

I'm doing fine here after the fact I lost my dad two weeks ago In the meantime I can't wait to it warms up here also I cant wait for Stevie's DVD to come out.

[Enchanted_Stevi]

I got my very first ever large screen tv and the very first video I watched was Rhiannon from the Midnight Special, 1976. Totally awesome. I'm seeing things I've never seen before on the small screen.

YAY! I love big screens!! When I first met Ashley and saw that they had a plasma in their living room the first thing I thought of was "Man I wanna watch The Dance on that!!!" lol

[Enchanted_Stevi]

I know, I know, don't go clobbering me with anything because I feel like clobbering myself, but I've found myself listening to Taylor Swift's song "Ours" whenever it's on the radio and admit I kind of like it. I think it's the lyrics that sold me.

I love Taylor Swift =)

JTIS...

That I pulled almost 40 hours in 4 days at the salon! And I got time and a half for Sunday working 8 hours....At sometimes the 8 hours or so goes by pretty fast if we're busy but with the snow storm(s) we had this weekend it was wicked slow thursday friday and kinda saturday....Sunday was SWAMPED! It was only me and Sonja so we had to see if the other Kaitlyn could come in and she did thank god!!

I got my first BIG paycheck =) Working at the Rectory I was only doing part time and my checks wer eonly like a lil over $100... So I was pretty stoked about my big paycheck on Friday...I'm gonna try and save as much $$ as I can and pay off my credit cards lol

Since i'm working so much I feel like I dont have anytime to just hang out...I like my job and the people I work with...but im just not used to the long hours! Especially on my feet lol So when I come home i'm like "I JUST WANNA CHILL" and sometimes Ashley gets mad at me cuz it'll be like midnight and we'll be watching a show and I'll fall asleep lol

Today was SUPPOSE to be my day off....but because Kaitlyn came in yesteday she doesnt have to work today...So I had to cover for her 5-9....today was my only day off...so I told my boss and she said she would change the schedule...I NEED MY 2 DAYS OFF lol

Hey .spring is here.Nice weather about 60 degrees and this is early march.Great winter this time around.compared from last winter.Not a good winter for the Ski resort industry though .plus the guys that do snowplowing for a living like my friend does.He said he will make up on a early start with landscaping work.

I am totally mesmerized with her talents. LP is the band name for Laura Pergolizzi. I guess it took me awhile to learn about her because i'm on the east coast, I don't know......I can't stop watching the videos. She found her spot in the world, that is for sure...right in front of that mic.

I posted this on another chit chat thread a month ago, please tell me what you think of LP?

I just watched some of the Largo 1975 concert on my large screen tv and even tho I no longer get high it felt like I was, with the psychadelic colors they used during Green Manalishi. I alos watched Rhiannon and Station Man and a minute of SMAL. I've got to go to work, man!

May I share my dark side?

My ex dumped me, like a hot potato, on Jan 2nd. And the past 69 days have been absolute f*cking hell for me. I've not been this down(with one exception) ever. Absolutely distraught.

So I'm on vacation. Ran into a friend from high school last night(believe it or not, 300 miles from home!). And we had the most AWESOME freaking day I've had in years, today. Partied like rock stars, ALL DAY($200 in bloody marys!), then went to dinner. Had a great dinner, laughing and enjoying each other. Then I go to pee, before we leave the restaurant...

Text pops in from my ex. "I'm so sorry for what I put you through. The guy I left you for, dumped me. So I know how you feel, and I just wanted to say that I'm sorry".

Moronic me...."well, I love you, and............xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"(I only received a text back) "I just need time alone".

So, apparently, reconciliation isn't an option at this point(and I'm fine with that, for now), BUT BUT BUT, I am secretly SO F*CKING happy, that my replacement was the DUMPER. Not the DUMPEE. The DUMPER. And that the ex is so upset. And that they're apart! "So this guy doesn't worship the ground you walk on(like me)?", is what I wanted to say....but of course I didn't.

I KNOW that that is mean, and I'm NOT a mean person, but I'm so relieved. 2012 has been eating me alive. A case of ketchup couldn't fix the sh*t sandwich that 2012 has been for me....

I feel MEAN, and that makes me feel badly about myself. But I'm just so happy that their relationship is over. I guess only for hopes of reconciliation(that, and I completely changed several things about myself....honestly, I became the "best me" that I ever have been(and was happy for the changes), and it still wasn't enough).

I wish I wanted somebody else, but I don't....I have been trying to talk myself into just "having a good time", but I just can't do it. I freaking wanna be married...Sick, huh? But I still feel mean, and feel badly about that...

You are not mean. If you were mean then you would have sent the text you describe but you didn't. You are, however, human and it's perfectly fine to feel this way if she dumped you and now he's done the same to her. It's very honest of you to admit feeling like that. I challenge anyone not to feel the same (at least a little) and if they say they don;t for at least 5 minutes and that they're always a "bigger" person, then I may even go so far as to say they're lying.

Well, my heart was completely broken. I'm not a "depressed person", YET I have been, so far this year. I lost the love of my life. And the love of my life doesn't even want to get back together(yet?, I can only hope - why would you text your ex, to tell them that you got dumped???), but I can tell you that my mood for the year, went from ZERO, to about a 4, now, just from knowing that they broke up. Especially knowing that the guy who replaced me, was the dumper.

And I'm not proud of the fact that I'm so happy that they're done. But I am. Because I now have HOPE. I sort of consider that to be a dark thing. The thought of them riding off into the sunset, made me completely nauseous. While never suicidal, I really had no reason for wanting to live, from Jan 2nd until now....if that sounds melodramatic, that's not my intention, but it's honestly how I felt. 2012 - my Sh*t sandwich year. Seriously. I've been so down...like never before. And I now feel like it's over, just knowing that they're over. I'm ashamed of being so happy that they're finished.

Thank you. And it has been anguish. Like I've only known, one other time in my life. But at least I have hope now...and that feels like a lot.:)

Okay, last thought on it - just the thought of them NOT lying together now(as a possibility), feels like someone just lifted a car off of my chest!

Sometimes I kind of buy into all that stuff, other times I listen to others and think it's just the earth ever changing like it always has over periods. :shrug:

I had the thermostat set on 78 and the air kicked on about noon as it warmed up outside. I know though what it's like to have a nice 70-something degree day after winter up north. I can't wait for summer though even if it's hot. I love the sun, the afternoon awesome thunderstorms here. Then sunny again. :D

Yeah, I hope so. It seems really hard though, almost like hitting the lottery...for someone you're attracted to, that you get along with, who's looking for a commitment, who doesn't smoke, and has a job!

And it was like sweet revenge, especially since I didn't do it. KARMA! It was still very strange though, to text me, after 70 days since our breakup, to apologize for dumping me in such a sh*tty way, and to tell me that my replacement did the same thing. I couldn't help but read "possible reconciliation" into that...

We did talk, 2 nights ago, and I'm told that since "we're not perfect for each other", that reconciliation isn't a possibility. That we both need to keep looking for our perfect match. Maybe we're not "perfect". Who is?
I KNOW who I want to spend the rest of my life with. FML.

Yes. I think that's the problem!

That there's some knight in shining armor out there... Hey, I AM a knight in shining(okay, slightly tarnished:laugh:) armor!

I have proposed. Twice.

I know. My hands are tied. All I can do, is wait it out, and hope that we get together again. In August, it will be 3 years of on/off. And I'm sure it's obvious, that I've never been the one to call it off.

I felt like I was dying, when they were together(seriously, dying). At least now that they're apart, I can breathe now. Hoping and praying that our history of reconciliation proves to be consistent.

I see this site is for sale. Hope this isn't the wrong thing to say, but according to The Penguin, the website hosting for this site costs $235 per month. I know a lot of people don't have extra money right now, but would some more people please consider becoming Supporting Ledgies? This is a wonderful site for Fleetwood Mac fans and I don't want it to end.

Of course, someone may buy it and not end it or change it. Still, there's always those possibilities.

I just noticed this today too and funny that no one's talking about the elephant in the room. I mainly have two questions, if this site were to sell it could go either way and be a good or bad thing, depending on whoever gets their hands on it running it. As we know from past antics on other boards over the years. And two, if it doesn't sell, is this site going defunct? I've a feeling if so, Seven Wonders will most likely have an influx of people :laugh:

I've yet to ever say this, and I do seem to have a few friends over here who actually care to chat up and be social with you, but the real reason I've never felt compelled to become a supporting member here is because below the surface, I've never felt welcome here by most. What with little cliques and personal favorites contests always and People's Choice Awards based on popularity, I think it keeps most from contributing. But I do like some of you here and always felt I could post and share anyway if I had something to say. I just hope if the site does sell, it goes in the right hands and someone who knows how to run it.

Yeah, we have roughly 3,300 members... if less than 1/10th of them were supporting members, this site would pay for itself. I believe we have about a dozen supporting members at this moment. It costs $12 per year to be a supporting member- $1 per month. And payment is done through paypal, so your credit card/banking info is 100% secure (all the owner of the board sees is a payment from Paypal).

So if anyone who is reading this thinks they can contribute $1/per month, please do. I think Michele has been an amazing steward to this site the past several years, and she is an invaluable asset to the Fleetwood Mac community. It'd be great if she could continue as custodian.

:wavey:

Unless things are more clarified, the way I read it they're looking to get out from under it regardless of paid memberships.

[louielouie2000]

Unless things are more clarified, the way I read it they're looking to get out from under it regardless of paid memberships.

That's not the case, I can assure you :). The Ledge is Michele's passion, but she is unable to underwrite the website on her own anymore.

[fringed n fab]

Seems like if anything, someone could've made things more known if the site was in such dire straits, be like "Hey people's, we really need to come together and save this site!" or something along those lines. What's the harm in asking for that? I don't know much about how sites function behind the scenes, but from what I can tell, sites like City Data incorporate ads into their site that I'm assuming help cover operating costs and are on pages viewed but are not intrusive or invading in such a way. Could they try something like that here along with more paid memberships? City Data I see, is also awarding someone 5,000 for the Most Informative Poster right now so I think sites such as theirs are doing just fine. I would really hate to see The Ledge go to be honest despite the little things I sometimes feel about it.

I've yet to ever say this, and I do seem to have a few friends over here who actually care to chat up and be social with you, but the real reason I've never felt compelled to become a supporting member here is because below the surface, I've never felt welcome here by most. What with little cliques and personal favorites contests always and People's Choice Awards based on popularity, I think it keeps most from contributing. But I do like some of you here and always felt I could post and share anyway if I had something to say. I just hope if the site does sell, it goes in the right hands and someone who knows how to run it.


I think every member just has to do what's right for them. No one is going to like everyone. That's just human nature. Not matter what, this is a great site for Fleetwood Mac. That's why I'm a Supporting Ledgie.

[Dodfather]

I've loved this site ever since I joined and have made a couple of good friends directly from The Ledge. I'm a Supporting Ledgie and would hate to see it go!

[PolishStevieFan]

I've got terrible hangover. Yesterday, or should I say just few hours ago I finished my encounter with friends. And I must confess...there was a lot of alcohol. My head is just cracking and I feel like I could sleep all day long, which of course is not possible. I try to eat as much as possible, I heard it shall help...we'll see :)

I would hate it too and will become a supporting member. I would have earlier had I known it was needed. Appreciate Michele and what she's put into it.

[Artemis]

I'd hate to see this place go as well, I'm definitely gonna renew my Supporting Ledgie status when it expires.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know how to hide a love bite? >_>

Makeup or a high collared shirt or sweater or a necktie like Stevie wore during Mirage.
However if it were me I'd want to show it off so the whole world would know I just got some.:xoxo:

[vivfox]

I just deep cleaned the $h1t out of my kitchen and punctured the floor when I moved the refridgerator.

[poetinmyheart]

JTIS that I've just booked my first ever trip to New York. I'm going in August and am ridiculously excited about it.

I have such a good summer coming up. I'll have finished my teacher training, am seeing Bruce Springsteen, I have Olympic tickets and now a week in NYC :D

Granted, my deposit for my flat is now pretty much non existent but I think it's all worth it! You only live once after all.

[estranged4life]

had to 'resign' from the job at the casino since the drive (90 miles roundtrip daily) added to the rising gasoline prices and a bi-weekly paycheck was NOT going to make life easier for me.

Just emailed my tribe's HQ to see if they can help lead me in the right direction so I can move from this HELLHOLE town!!! Wish me luck...

The Brian j.

[Enchanted_Stevi]

JTIS..

that I made an excel spreadsheet on the hours that I work and how much service and retail sales I do and what not to keep track of everything...Plus I need 2000 hours working under someone before I can get my class 1 license and able to rent my own booth...

So now I have 1857.31 hours left LOL

Cant say that I do...sorry! Other then like TONS of concealer and stuff lol

[iamnotafraid]

Peyton Manning stop toying with us and
make your pick! I'd suggest the...

MIAMI DOLPHINS!!!

RATS!!!
Peyton is a Bronco.

[fringed n fab]

I always found something sexy about Peyton, even if he's not the most beautiful man. There's a macho sexiness there and love that deep voice.

I don't watch sports much, but when I do it's for different reasons than most people. It's because I like someone. :laugh:

And right now, I just love something about Andy Roddick, my current fave. He is comical on the court and entertaining in between the competitiveness during matches and I just love that about him.

http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee466/fringedNfab/andy.jpg

http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee466/fringedNfab/andy2.jpg


And I don't like him for how well he's playing or who for like most people who watch sports, I like Tim Tebow simply because he is undeniably a fine looking beautiful MAN. :)

And that's why I hate northern weather. The ever fluctuating temps keeping people sick and not being able to plan things outside. Least in Florida, you know pretty much day in and out it's going to be sunny or at least partly in between. Ohio, not so much....

[MacShadowsBall]

Yesterday was Inventory Day at my retail job. I'm still tired after an 11 hour shift. Lots of fun. ;)

I'm still digging a big compost hole in the back yard.Alot of leaves last fall.

[Silver Springs]

Well I'm back from dissertation hell and I seem to have landed in the middle of something big. I feel completely out of the loop, lol. Serves me right I suppose for taking a few days off to be a good student.

[estranged4life]

I lost my Mom and in the process lost a large part of myself that I have yet to recover (Losing Debbie sure as hell did not lessen the weight).

All I can do is hang in there and try to stay above ground because any day above ground is considered a good day. :thumbsup:

[tristanbmusic]

Hey Ledgies- I usually am reading all the dialogue from afar, but I thought I'd share this recording I did awhile back.
I had lost someone very, very close to me.
Usually my own songs help me get through things...
But on this particular night, I kept playing Stevie songs... and happened to record it.
Ignore the sniffles in the background if you can- sorry for those! Her music is so special to me :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PqKyolVybk&feature=youtu.be

Thank you all for keeping her music alive.
Sending warmth,

I have just listened to the first 6 minutes of this. I'll hear the rest later. It was very enjoyable. I really liked your version of Sister's Of The Moon. Is Rooms On Fire on there too?

I worked 3.5 hours overtime today! I was suppose to work 11-6 and I ended up working 11-9:41 lol My feet are KILLING ME!!! I made a good amount of tips today =D My boss said she'd make it up to me for working way overtime today lol

The other Kaitlyn was doing a highlight and a color at the same time so i was trying to control over flow....but a lot of people decided to come back another day...

I feel like I should be wearing pillows as shoes right now lol

It was all done in the moment, so many of my personal favorite songs were left out.
I just played what made sense. A random, but not really THAT random of an order.
It's a shame too, cause it would fit in nicely, seeing as it starts on an FM7 chord. (Most of her songs do.)

[vivfox]

My favorite new song lyrics from a song I just heard today: How do you know I know that I'm Da $h1t?

"Cause I keep clogging up the toilet.:lol:

just felt like sharing new music with the group that i dig, and of course, i got super excited because Stevie's microphone (circa the late '70s-early '80s) made an appearance! i mean, not the literal microphone that she used, but the same model. lol.

I don't think you should remove it. I think you should keep it. It rocks. We have to do what little we can to show the world that Jim Welander was the hottest amateur concert photographer of the twentieth century. Nobody here believes me when I say that.

Forgive my ignorance!Jim Welander rocked our hearts and our souls with his searching, penetrating shots of Stevie dancing across the stages of the world, in this, our life.

Sanne or somebody might have a bunch of Welander photos handy to share with us, to care with us.

I feel spiritual when I see Welander.

I love the fact that the only time my Dad has anything to say to me is when he has something to criticise. He fawns over our Cats, but when it comes to me I get blank expressions and shrugs. Thanks Dad. Thank you for making it so much easier for me to plan my moving out.

I'd always thought I was a disappointment to my Father as well. I share none of his interests or ambitions. I figured I must be a tremendous disappointment to him since I'm the polar opposite of the relentless, workaholic corporate climber he is. I work to live, not live to work. I have no interest in sports or flying small planes either. My little brother has always been his "baby" who shares all of his interests. I never have gotten much feedback from my Dad from my decision to be a career civil servant who spends his time volunteering, hiking, and swimming. I live a very simple, laid back life.

But a couple years back one of my father's female coworkers shared my parents lakehouse with me for a weekend, and she told me about how incessantly chatty my Father is about me.... about how terribly proud he is of the path in life I've taken. She brought all this up on her own, and shared specific accomplishments of mine. I was absolutely stunned. Fathers may not always be the best at articulating their feelings, but I assure you, yours does care & is proud. :nod:

Well, some people are just wired differently. He probably COULDN'T live your laid back lifestyle. It would probably drive him crazy, having that much free time to enjoy.

People think that I'm a workaholic, and nothing could be farther from the truth. I do have responsibilities, and always take care of those, but believe me, I work at breakneck speed, so that I can get FINISHED. Then it's party time! (I'm really weird...a fairly successful lazy ass):lol:

Oh, I'm the same way. I work harder than anyone else in my department (I was recently promoted, and am being replaced by two people), but I've never chosen a job where I have to do any work outside of an 8-5 Monday-Friday schedule. I don't make any money at all, but it satisfies me greatly to commit myself to public service. :)

Stop.being.me.

I once worked a real job:lol: where they absolutely refused to promote me, because of my refusal to work overtime. They said, "you're the best in your department, but everyone else is willing to work weekends, and you're not...so your last on the promotions list".

Oh well, f*ck em! I quit soon after, and went back and finished my B.A.
I'm more than happy to work my 40 hours, work HARD, never call in sick, etc.....but you'll never own me. 40 hours is all I want, and all you're going to get from me!:lol:
Actually, that was my next to last real job, and I've been self employed for (ho sh*t).....let's just say close to 20 years now!:lol::lol::mad:

I'm guessing your hubby makes a good income based on the fancy digs you had in N.C. where you showed us pictures of the inside of that gorgeous home. If you were single do you suppose you might work harder at making better money or would you stay exactly the same as you are now?

I worked in the public sector before my partner came along, and I would continue to do so if we parted ways tomorrow (we're both long-term public sector workers- it's how we met). It's what I feel I'm supposed to do. I've worked in the private sector before, and I just didn't feel like I was doing anything worthwhile with my life. We're now living in the smallest space either one of us has ever resided in, and neither of us have ever been happier anywhere. :)

Yes, it is. I love it when it's like this. I decided to get the bus that takes ages to get to town today just because everything looks so much prettier than normal, reading on the bus is also one of my favourite things to do so today was lovely.

Know the feeling none of my work is getting done ahahaha.

[poetinmyheart]

JTIS that today I was observed as part of my teacher training and I received a 1 for my lesson. Lessons are graded from 1 (excellent) down to 4 (unsatisfactory). Am really happy! The lesson took me ages to plan but it paid off :D

I wish I lived in a part of England that would allow me to love living here. But my hometown is anything but nice.

It just feels like something I'm meant to do.

Awww, England is beautiful. On a day like yesterday i just felt all warm inside (and not because of the heat ha!) I feel really proud to be English. I love my hometown too (Birmingham) and the country side is wonderful and nothing makes me happier than the smell of Camden town. The hustle and bustle of London excites me, no matter how many times i go and how long i spend there I always feel like i'm on an adventure. (That sounds lame).

I think if you get the chance you should visit here. There is always so much to do and see sometimes i feel a tourist (because of all the things to be discoveerd) in my hometown where I have lived all my life. I sound like I am doing an England promotional tour speech ahaaha. Seriously though I am incredibly proud of my home land.

Y R U NOT PRIME MINISTER?!?!

AHAHA I think I would be a great Prime Minister, I would have Madonna Monday and Fleetwood Mac Friday and on these days at noon everything stops for four minutes and we all sing a song of these artists on their day. Words like spiffing would be used by everyone on a daily basis and men would wear top hats and ladies nice dresses. Oh and I would drop student fees and slap David Cameron. I don't spend any time at all thinking about what I would do if I was Prime Minister, nope not at all.

P.s I feel so sick right now I want to cry.

I know plenty of people who share my feelings, one being my best friend. I mentioned it to somebody the other day and she reacted with such contempt and disgust. It really shocked me, actually. I can't help the fact that children physically repulse me. It's just in my nature. But this woman couldn't see past the accepted role of women as 'nurturers'. I'm just not cut from that cloth. Oh well. Bugger her. That's her pejorative.

This is interesting. That's such a strong statement; I can't imagine why anyone would feel that way. I think this has been discussed here before though, hasn't it?

Yes, it has been discussed...where were you when i needed someone to defend me?? :laugh:






Agreed, had to make my point against generalization though ;)

It all comes down to the human being and its behaviour, not the age :), in my opinion. So no generalization.

[David]

Agreed, had to make my point against generalization though ;)Did you miss the intended humor (successful or not) of the generalization?

Definitely! I wonder if there's a case to be made for great kids who also have wonderful taste in music ;)

[markolas]

I started a child-free thread on here once, and I don't remember exactly, but I don't think it ended well. :laugh:

Children don't physically repulse me, but I don't especially care for them. I've certainly never wanted any. I greatly dislike certain new parenting trends, and wish that if parents insist on taking their kids places, that they would at least keep them quiet, but so many have adopted a kind of "free-range" philosophy when it comes to children. I've one too many scream in my ear at the grocery store while their parent (usually the mother) looks on obliviously. Some even seem to think it's cute. :rolleyes:

[markolas]

Kids are great--up until around the age of 15.

I think that's the age when most of them start to become mildly tolerable.

[David]

I think that's the age when most of them start to become mildly tolerable.I was impossible at 15. You'd have hated me.

Me too. My cousin has a spoiled BRAT, who's 9 now. A couple of years ago, I politely asked him to calm down, and the little SH*T was demanding that his Mom hit me or something. I can't STAND spoiled brats.

But really...a 15yo, I can tell them why they're being an assh*le, and usually they'll step into line. I can reason with a 15yo. I can't reason with a 9yo(duct tape!).:lol:

(totally joking about the duct tape)

Bro, you have to do it! It could be like a fashion shoot maybe? Or a cultural focus on the different roles of women in WWII across different cultures even? Different age ranges? I love this idea!!

I was leaning more towards doing a documentary project, that's why I can't work out how I could do it. I know I could advertise on the British Legion website so I might give that a go. I guess if I started the idea would kind of just develop itself. Right now for my final major I am doing a documentary style project looking at England now, and exploring stereotypes and what makes us English/British. Hmmmm.

Maybe you could almost transplant your final major idea into what the stereotypes were of that day and what the people of that time feels makes/made them British? Then you could do a comparison or something?
I got a few more roles developed, getting the pics tomorrow!

JTIS...

That I'm thinking about going back to school.....I wanna go for Business Management/Accounting at the Community College we have here...I went to the school before when I graduated high school but didnt finish my degree because I chose to go to Hair School instead...

Well now that I am working in a salon I've come to the conculsion that I do not want to do this as my career my whole life. My mom was right this whole time saying "You should finish your degree so you have something to fall back on" and of course I was like "no mom! I'm fine!" I hate it when moms are always right lol

Anyway, so thats what I am thinking....I figure I'll look for a job and when i get one I'll quit the salon.I cant afford to not work so I have to have a job before I quit the one that I have....then work my ass off and then go to school in the fall and such.

Thinking about going to school actually makes me excited.

YES!!! Her voice wasn't the best but my god she had something else. Those eyes, that figure that accent. Honestly one of the most beautiful people to ever live but she was so much more than her looks. I love how much she did for the troops too.

Did you ever hear about that story of her wanting to seduce Edward so he didn't go with Wallis? Something about doing it for England, a country she loves. No idea how true it is though.

Oh my God no i haven't heard of that, my Marlene fandom is kind of new, but i'm trying to learn more about her. I ordered her daughter's book, can't wait to read it, don't know if you have...
I'm actually more familiar with her music than her movies, though the Blue Angel (especially!), The devil is a woman, Morocco and Judgment at Nuremberg are some of my favorites.
I admire what she's done during WW2, but somehow, it's not what i find the most interesting. Her relationship with her homecountry, however...
Damn i think i could talk about her for hours.

There are loads of stories about her, like a plot she had to kill Hitler. Surely that had to be a myth. Oh no I haven't read it, I have been meaning to get her own book myself though. Aaha I haven't been a fan for that long either, but I have always been obsessed with old Hollywood so i tend to "discover" new people that fascinate me so much. I did a mini spam of her pictures on tumblr earlier.

Yeah i know you love Madonna, i don't post much on The Ledge but i'm kind of...around :D.
I like Vogue. But i think it's hard for ladies of the 30s or 40s to really understand the message of a (provocative) woman like Madonna, who has very different values from theirs. I know Marlene was "avant-garde", but Madonna? Yeah, they are basically from different worlds.

Weeeeeeeeell, after watching her last video for "Girls gone wild", i think that Madonna is still the popular Queen of provocation, along with Lady Gaga (Ooooh Marlene would have destroyed her after watching the "Alejandro" official video). But at least they have something to sell and they are talented, you know, not like, say, Kim Kardashian. Or Paris Hilton. Or whatever..

Damn i was not aware of that mini-war between Madonna and Lady Gaga...or their fans. But that's not surprising since Madonna seems to be a HUGE source of inspiration for Gaga, who, indeed didn't invent breathing, and i'm sure her fans are aware of that. So this vendetta against MDNA is logical, but not very smart.
Anyway i'm sure she'll do great even without Gaga fans :).

ahaha the fan war is so lame. I don't get involved tbh. Madonna did a fan talk on twitter for a day so ask madonna trended and it was full of gaga fans asking stupid questions. It's scary how obsessed they are.

No, i'm sorry, but you won't ever see Stevie live :laugh:. No seriously it might happen but your best shot is to wait for a Fleetwood Mac tour :).

Madonna's main strenght is that she has this loyal fan base (which has probably changed a lot through the years), but she also always manages to gather new fans, and that's just impressive.
As for Lady Gaga fans...i'm sure it will pass with the years. Her loyal fanbase will calm down when she will, i guess :).

JTIS... Traffic coming back into the city last night was an utter sh**show and finding a parking space was virtually impossible. Could it be because of the dual Christian/Jewish holidays?

It's one thing to go from having #1 hit singles to performing in an upscale retail department store. But Loehmann's is a discount store. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

My FIRST Easter alone. It's kind of strange...my extended family(aunts, uncles, cousins) has always been so close....and it's like we're drifting apart. I have one aunt and cousin(her daughter) that I'm extremely close to, but the rest of them are drifting away. For the first time ever, we weren't(the 3 of us) invited to Easter(which they always host). Maybe they're not having it...we don't know, but it's strange. And last year, they only came to one summer holiday that I hosted(I always host the 3 summer holidays, since I've got the "summer house"). We just wonder if one of us did something wrong, or what. We've jokingly said, "well, f*ck em!", but it's still strange.... Oh well.
Oh, and I'm alone, because my cousin had to work today, and won't get off until this evening, so we just said screw it...

Oh, and I'm alone, because my cousin had to work today, and won't get off until this evening, so we just said screw it...

JTIS.:confused:

I've never had a close family, so I can't relate to having mass family gatherings. My Dad's side of the family will only come around when they decide that they want something from him. My Mum's...Well ever since my Grandad died, my Mum and Aunts have been ostracized by his side of the family. I couldn't hazard a guess as to why. We're probably the epitome of the dysfunctional family. Oh well. It's probably why I enjoy my own company so much.

My FIRST Easter alone. It's kind of strange...my extended family(aunts, uncles, cousins) has always been so close....and it's like we're drifting apart. I have one aunt and cousin(her daughter) that I'm extremely close to, but the rest of them are drifting away. For the first time ever, we weren't(the 3 of us) invited to Easter(which they always host). Maybe they're not having it...we don't know, but it's strange.

It's depressing when families drift apart. Mine totally splintered when my Grandpa died 15 years ago. We went from this amazing, inseparable, crazy, fun group to everybody refusing to see one another. It's all so stupid, too. My Aunts are all just oil & water, but they used to put all that aside for my Grandfather... and had a fantastic time with each other when they just got over themselves. But you can't make people do what they don't want to do. Just gotta get used to the new normal I guess. :(

My nan has spent the day at ours which has been lovely, she has been really really ill again this past few weeks but hopefully things are picking up.

I have also just replied to my university offers, I am so excited for the future. I adore life.

[markolas]

I've always considered family to be a genetic accident. My own "family" consists entirely of people I'd never choose to associate with in a million years. As soon as I realized I didn't have to anymore, I stopped.

I worked today and got an Easter Egg off my boss when I arrived so by usual Easter standards, it went pretty well.

Glad you had a good Easter. I worked today and my day ended off with me in Casualty with two huge chunks out of my thumb (One of the holes still had the lump of flesh attached which was pretty gag worthy) and my arm all scratched up lol. It's what I get for looking after so many Cats.

Ouch! Sounds painful.

[Silver Springs]

Ouch! Sounds painful.

Actually, when it happened I didn't feel a thing. The Cat has a running feud with one of the caged Animals; and because he can't get at him he was taking it out on the others all day and I had to break up numerous fights. He probably had a grudge against me lol. I went to check on one of the poorly Cats and he launched at me, gripping my arm as he bit down on my hand. All I could think was 'Keep the arm away from the face' while I flung him off of me. Then I calmly locked up the building behind me before heading into the main room and waiting patiently for my boss to hoover up before telling her what had happened (She had her back to me). While I was explaining I had the usual 'shocked Frog that wants you to cry' in my throat, which made me feel like an utter prat lol. I'm used to being bitten lightly by animals in my line of work, and usually I can tell that they're just saying 'Leave me alone. I'm not in the mood', so I leave them alone. I could tell this one really wished to hurt me.

That would freak me out. A hazard of the job I guess though, right? Did you need stitches or anything?

[Silver Springs]

I've always been level headed in a crisis, I suppose. I was the one who had to call for an ambulance, look after my Dad and direct the paramedics to our house when my Dad had a heart attack in the garden while Mum panicked. Takes a lot to really tattle me, I guess. Yeah, it is a hazard. Thankfully it's the first time anything serious happened in my 10 months working there, which means I must be doing something right. Thankfully I didn't need stitches. Just had to have a tetanus, an X Ray to make sure the Cat didn't leave any teeth in the wounds, super strong antibiotics, medicated strips on the wounds (I can't remember what was on them but they left a yellow stain) and a heck ton of bandages. I have an appointment Tuesday to check on them and hopefully have more user friendly bandages. These ones are terrible. I had a bath earlier and had to cope with that and washing my hair with one hand. It was hard lol. Rather awkwardly my Mother knocked on the bathroom door and asked if I wanted her to come in and help me :lol: 'Er...No Mum. You're alright.I'd rather drown thanks' :laugh:

Hahaha, rather drown :laugh: You gotta love Mums - you'll always be her little girl. My mum would be the same.

It's good you are cool, calm and collected in a crisis. I'm the opposite. I panic.

[Silver Springs]

[/B]

Got to love Mums, even if they're genetically designed to embarrass their children; even without any intention. But Dads can be like that too. Saturday my Dad decided to accompany myself and my Mum for a pub lunch. He looked at me for a while and then said really loudly "She's getting very pretty, this Daughter of ours". I didn't know what to do with myself as people were looking at me by then. I was like "Hey! Is that a drink?!" and proceeded to gulp down the scolding hot Tea my Mum had just brought back from the bar for me, just so I could avoid the subject haha.

My Mum's the same. She'll panic too. It's probably just a temperament bred through necessity, as I've always been the one who was rather 'forced' into cleaning up the mess and coping with the dilemma's. But hey, if there's ever a Zombie apocalypse, look me up. Might be useful, haha.

[poetinmyheart]

Awww - that's nice. A proud dad :) But yeah, said in front of everyone, kinda embarrassing.

Haha. So you'd have a plan, Shaun of the Dead style. "Go to Mum's. Kill Phil... grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over." If you haven't seen Shaun of the Dead, ignore my random quoting :lol:

I've seen Shaun of the Dead multiple times and love it, so I approve of the reference. There might even be time to pick up a Cornetto before we reach Mum's :lol:

Yeah, it's weird, though, because nothing bad happened....my aunt and I keep analyzing the situation, trying to figure out if we did something wrong.

That said, my family is not one to argue, ever. So if there is a problem, they wouldn't say anything, just avoid us...

Still this is the first easter of my life, that I've not spent with them. Oh well, I guess. Life goes on.

I love that film. Tempted to watch it this evening now.

Do it! Do it! Do it for the both of us. I haven't been able to watch it in ages because a friend borrowed it and I'm still waiting for it to be returned. I'm stuck at the moment watching a truly terrible film on the horror channel. 'Hell Comes To Frogtown'. My eyes are hurting from rolling so much.

My sister has left the dvd at uni. Am unimpressed. I may or may not be watching clips of it on YouTube. Hilarious. Love the part where they think the girl in the garden is drunk - "Oh my god. She's so drunk!" :laugh:

And he makes them wait and pose for a picture! Love it. I adore the use of foreshadowing. When you first watch it, you don't notice it. But then you begin to realise as you repeatedly watch it that alot of the events were suggested in the beginning of the film. For example, when Shaun and Ed are messing around in the front room before having an altercation with Pete. As soon as he leaves, Ed mutters "The next time I see him, he's dead". And he is! That's one of the most obvious examples, lol. Also, I love the scene in the car when they hit the zombie. They're taking off bad American soap opera's when Ed says "Maybe we hit something"....Shaun looks off into the distance and says dramatically "Or someone..." before hitting his head on the window when Ed presses the horn lol. :D:laugh:

Yes you're right. The film is far cleverer than it initially appears.

Horrible weather today in London. Must be a bank holiday Monday :thumbsup:

[wild-heart]

Attempting to do college work and watching Ninotchka. This is my favourite Garbo movie. What a wonderful actress she was!

[wild-heart]

I always watch clips of what's my line on youtube. I was defiantly born in the wrong era. Does anyone else ever watch it...and practice the voice that they would do? no just me okay.

[beccamorrisfift]

Off to a job interview. For a job I'm not even sure I want. It's shady stuff.

[estranged4life]

NOT!

Had to drive for pre-employment drug screening, which went as usual but I was sick as hell that whole morning so I was nauseated when I took it, add to it the agency gave my directions to the facility that went the opposite direction from where I needed to go, so by the time I was done I was a nice shade of pale green in the face :laugh:

[vivfox]

We often say we hate something because we really don't understand it. I often say I hate cell phones. I called my cell provider and ordered a new phone because I couldn't get the mute button to cooperate with me. So they sent me another phone which is exactly the same one as the broken one and not until I have the new one in my hand do I realize there are volume buttons on the side of it and obviously on the original one also. So I grab the original and turn up the volume and then realize my phone was never broken. It was just me who didn't know WTF I was doing.:lol:
