I'm baaaaaaack!

[Vorchia]

Yes I'm back. I see the board is more or less in one piece? Good.
I only have an old fashioned camera so the pictures have to wait untill they're developed and scanned. Salamanca was a lot of fun. The sangria was really good too. *hiccup* jkjk
The trip home was interesting. I only barely managed to get from the airport of Amsterdam to my home!!! You know you are back in Holland when the trains go boink!

[sil]

Great to see you back Vorch. The Board just doesn't seem to have the same feel without an hyperactive Oviraptor running about. Azzy has no one to yell at!

[Vorchia]

Well contrary to popular belief she doesn't scream at me muchly. Just the usual exlamations of amused horror whenever the background has been, eh, made pretty.
Where did she go anyway? It seems the board has been rather quiet. My mailboxes and PM box are pretty empty too.
College is starting for me again too so soon I'll be swamped in study.
I dropped the photorolls off, they should be done in a few days.
I have good news btw: my stephdad bought a SCANNER. I'm a very happy girl.
On another note, my stephdad's liver has been swelling partially as a resulty of the cancer and partially as a result of the treatment and is squeezing his vena cava inferior almost shut. (The huge blood vessel that carries blood from the lower body back to the heart). The swelling should decline on its own, lets hope it does so.

I'm glad you're back, Vorchia! The ToP just isn't the same without you.
I'll be starting school soon as well, ugh, but that's life.
I can't wait for the piccys.
I really hope your stepdad gets better.

VORCHY!!!!!!!! *pounces the returned Oviraptor* Great to see you back! Missed ya. No, really, I did! I've been keeping myself busy with art. So far, I've created two new sculptures, done some pretty fun photographs of dinosaurs in the park (some are located in the Haven of the Muses), finished that story for the Dinotopian Telephone game (post on the OMB; will post here later), done more work on the Registry (that new opening page, and have worked out how the art galleries will be arranged), and started working on that wonderful surprise that will be at the Registry once I get it done. I plan to have about a half dozen editions created before I even begin posting the first one! Let's just say... I love Illustrator;) That program rocks. To top it all off, I had my labor day flea market and got rid of three huge boxes of stuff! made about $350, so I'm happy

Got the postcard. Thankies for the lesson in Spanish;) I had to look up a few words after I couldn't figure them out. Sangria.... ICK!

I currently don't have any plans for Monday morning. I can be on then to chat!

[Vorchia]

Sangria is GOOD. Its almost lemonade. They just ought to make it illegal to make it with BUBBLE-water!!! That really doesn't work.
For the record (and my reputation), I did always manage to get back to my own 'family', did not have hangovers nor did I get any memory gaps.

*hb* I missed you too. I don't get around to art, college started with maximum workloads, they know no mercy whatsoever.

You. Are. Scary. Where did you find the time? I don't think I know this illustrator programme of yours. Telephone game? Hey didn't mr Gurney once say Dinotopia was most like PR? If we take the analogy literary it might as well be assumed the main tongue is closer to Spanish then to English. So study your darn Spanish!!! Does mr Gurney speak Spanish? I considered sending him a postcard but I didn't have the adress with me... I can still send it because I have postcards left...
350 is a lot of money for one fleamarket...

Did I mention my college knows no mercy? Here's my Monday: 0900 start labclass. 1600: end labclass. Of course it usually runs late so it ends up closer to 1700. Officially there is no break but its possible to sneak out for half an hour of lunch, immediately punished by running LATE. Yes Monday is evil. Suffice it to say we have to create a DNA probe for Bordetella parapertussis from scratch then use it to test for aforementioned bacterium. So I won't be on on Monday I think... But you can always email me.
I'm planningw riting a letter in Spanish too. I'll have to convert one to footprint alphabeth for Vira.

My pictures are developed but they're kinda bad... Lots of red eyes and overlighted/underlighted parts on the pictures of people and the architectural details I tried to photograph are mostly out of focus or too far away. Suffice it to say I only have a really OLD camera. I really want a digital camera... Why are those things so expensive??

[Christopher]

What? Awww, darn school! I didn't even notice the ToP had no admins watching it. Sorry to disappoint, if I knew you were gone I would have raised hell for ya.

[Vorchia]

Yes I was wondering how come you had NOT been raising hell... I expected at least one attempted coup!

[Dakota]

LOL WB

I've been really, really terrible at answering PM's and e-mails lately>_< It's something I'm trying to work on. That and letter writing. Ooh, I can't send you that surprise I was working on, Vorch. I found out that I could send you Mountain Dew, but then there was that whole air plane terrorist thing about liquid explosives, so I can't send it now=(

Glad to hear you had a great time! I'd love to see some pictures, even if they didn't turn out too good. I'm planning to buy a digital camera if I win a photo contest at the Conservatory. A GOOD one. I'm tired of one that has to be held together by tape >_<

Now, off to post more! MUWAHAHAHHA! I wonder how many posts I can make in one night....

Why yes, there used to be a time when this would have been an email conversation...

Yes a can of mountain dew could indeed freak out your homeland security... Lets not try it. Besides, I can squeeze my butt into a size 6 now and would like to KEEP IT THAT WAY.
But thanks for the thought. Just put the 'surprise' in the Christmas box, bulk-shipping is cheaper.

>That and letter writing.
Yes, when was our last letter anyway, aside from birthday and Christmascards? I don't think we've written letters muchly the past... year...? Longer? I can't remember writing you recently. I think your postcard from PR in December '05 counts as your most recent 'letter'. Did I ever reply to that in snailmail or just through email?

Oh my little brother (Little? He's 5'1', I'm 5'2'...) just looked at my screen and really likes our smileys. He especially likes the .

Fine I'll scan the pictures in the weekend or something... Maybe I'll even post a few.

Did I mention my stephdad came by his digital camera by winning a slogan contest? I forgot what the slogan was of course (my bad...) but he's really happy with it!
I hope you win the photography-contest. My photo´s sure wouldn´t!!!
