What's on your mind?

[Iwamoto Yuri]

Eh, I'd go with Scotland, or somewhere near the pennines. England is rather...flat. But that's nice of you to think about your people
"ciao guys, see you never~"

England, flat? *laughs*
England wishes it was flat XD

I think we're having two different point of views here.
You growing up in The Netherlands, and me, not too far from the Alps

OMM: This time I brought my driving license in the UK, I thought maybe I could go sometime for a day near the sea...except that if you're less than 25 there's a massive fee applying for car rentals... urgl, for once I was happy to drive

We're so flat we call this

a mountain

Me: You're a cute puppy, aren't you?
Neo: *tilts head*
Me: ... Aren't you?
Neo: *tilts head even more*
Me: <3 <3 Aren't you?
Neo: *tilts head the other direction*
Me: Aw <33

He's freaking adorable when tilting his head and it's so easy to make him do it <3

Whereas in Edinburgh, I'm pretty sure that the only flat ground we have are the bridges that we built to connect all the bloody hills the city's built on. The city is built into the hills. There are buildings that you walk in a door on the ground floor, cross to the opposite side of the room, look out a window and you're four stories up. It is actually impossible to go anywhere in Edinburgh without going uphill. Even if your destination is two doors away in a downhill direction, Edinburgh will somehow manage to fit some uphill in there for you to climb. Tourists complain about it a LOT, which I can sympathize with, although as soon as they start complaining about how hard it is to get to the Castle I'm just like "...you do know what a castle is, right?"

Although now I'm remembering that line that Frankie Boyle used to trot out about how "we have mixed feelings about global warming in Scotland, because we will be able to sit on the mountains and watch the English drown." Kinda stopped being funny around the time of all that flooding last winter...

Actually, the hills in Nottingham are rather nasty. Like, why would build a road up a hill that's what, 50°? They obviously never heard of going around stuff


Edinburgh is rather cray, it kind of reminds me of my high-school town, but grayer.



I'd love to properly visit Edinburgh at some point (I've been saying that for 2 years now, this needs to stop...), and Scotland in general!

[mangaluva]

Come visit Edinburgh and hang with me \o/ But yeah there's a lot of those crazy steep roads in the highlands as well. Hell, not even that far north. There's this one country road that's the fastest way between where I grew up and Edinburgh, and when my brother and I were kids we called it "The Rollercoaster Road" because of how many steep up-and-downs there were, to say nothing of the mind-boggling number of blind and/or hairpin corners. (When I was learning to drive I drove that road a few times and it always terrified me. I don't know how my parents did it so often.)

I've been to Scotland once... don't remember much about it

If I ever get to go there, I'll tell you


OMM: is tumblr down? when I try to go there firefox says it can't find the link...wh-why?

[Iwamoto Yuri]

I'm not having any trouble with it :V

Dear god, I just got my period T__T Just as I was about to go to bed I felt this sharp awful pain in my abdomen like I had been stabbed
The last few times I've gotten a really annoying headache a day before so I could take painkillers in advance but no, not now. It's surely to mock me since school just started... Stupid life *cuddles down underneath my blanket, hugging one of my stuffed toys* T__T

[KainTheVampire]

Ksin, go to a doctor! It may be symptom of an unpleasant disease, I recommend to visit him tomorrow)

Why do you keep saying I should go to the damn doctor?! I just said I have my hated period! Ugh!

[KangarooGirl]

Yeah sadly the unpleseant disease is genetic and tends to manifest (although with varying severity) from about 10yo up til about 50yo. There is a strong gender link too, somehow only females tend to acquire it. It's so horrendous that we don't even say its full name. Just shorten it to PMS.

*hugs Kain and offers hot water bottle for the cramps*

Edit: ps. I don't really care if it's slightly factually inaccurate I just wanted to take the mickey out of someone not recognising the symptoms :x

[KainTheVampire]

Pfft xD
Sadly that doesn't work for me

[Stopwatch]

Pfft xD
Sadly that doesn't work for me

Hot drinks then...?

EDIT: Whoever was saying about Tumblr being down was right. There was a staff post about it, but for better or for worse it doesn't seem like it'll be a reoccurring thing.

[Iwamoto Yuri]

Pfft xD

Or pressure points... Kain, I sent you a pic about them ages ago, but googleperiod and pressure point and you should find it yourself...
It's actually helped me before, even though I don't get as much pain as you do most of the time.
