I went shopping with my mother today and she said, "Go pick out some clothes, you never treat yourself. I'll buy." She held up a dress and I shock my head, I held up a black snoopy shirt and she asked why I couldn't just be a girly girl once in my life. I simply state, "Because that would be a lie, and you told me I shouldn't lie."
I myself can be pro shoes...I have a couple of pairs right now, and i just bought some bargain ones the other week for £8 they're like strappy wedged platforms in black and i plan on having them for my birthday
Clothes most of the time don't agree with me, but when i find something i really like i'm just like "YEP, MINE." if daddy has dat money yo, and i really feckin' need a job tbh but i don't just lazy about the house and get spoiled, i like to do chores and work etc etc
Black snoopy shirt sounds amazing btw, needs teh pics!
but over all...in order of what i most like...makeup, clothes, shoes and then bitchy on the side eh? LOL
also, games come somewhere between all of those.
i remember going food shopping once with my mother, i rly enjoying embarrassed her after all those time she's done it to me while i was growing up.
i decided to just burst out dancing in the middle of the supermarket with her. She quickly left me for some other part of the store. i also enjoy singing too while out with her, even though i'm the worst singer you could meet
i know she's going to get the picture out of me when i was small the next time i get my self a missus.
They're good for sleeping, but not much else.
Crap. Now I want it. Buy me one, I shall pay the shipment!
I was pretty tempted to buy a Legends of the Hidden Temple team shirt awhile back, because, man I loved that show when I was a kid, hehe.
Last edited by Digglett; 2011-05-28 at 10:21 PM.
Looked for one quite intensively myself a few months back but couldn't find any that shipped to Portugal. :| It's awesome. I have way too many shirts already but long as I have drawers they just keep finding their way over here.
i think i'm going to head for my bed if thats okay with you lot?

Why would anyone believe...
Submitted by Mark Hanson on Tue, 03/12/2013 - 11:34. Permalink
what anarchists say? They believe Ron Paul is an anarchist even though he never admits this to the vast majority of his supporters who want limited gov't, not anarchy. So anarchists believe that their leaders should lie about who they are because it's a legitimate means to an end. And of course they have to lie because the vast majority of people reject the notion of anarchism.

The Beauty of Real Mountains
... br>
Yesterday we took a field trip to the French Alps. It was by far the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and I had one of the best days of my life there! I never truly understood why everyone was so in awe over the mountains (all of them, not just the Alps) until I got to see the sunrise come up over the tips while climbing up the side of the mountain range. It was so breath taking ...
Day on the Slopes
... hill, so much so that I ended up walking down that hill and picking up from there (I have awful form but my method was working most of the day). When I made it back down the hill and stopped, I decided it was time to stop doing things that could potentially hurt me and my clumsy self so I took my skis off and sat down in the town for awhile to just enjoy the scenery.
The resort has wifi surprisingly so I texted a few people to let them know I made it ...
(White?) Christmas in the Alps
... markets are in full swing. We were lucky that the largest Christmas market in Lyon was right outside our doorstep. The market is based on the Christmas markets of the Alsace region and is the realization of every child's fantastical idea of what a market should be. Logan had fun running out to buy maple ...
One week, two hangovers.
... so I will work abroad until those are done with, as I somehow need to pay to get to NYC and back for one wedding! After that is when the travelling really begins! And I cannot wait. I HOPE and PRAY that my best friend is able to join me in Italy next year and we can travel the world like we have said we will do for the past ten years! And to the boys who inspired me to get up and go, THANK YOU! I'm not quite doing it on your level yet but, I'll ...
... longer, eat more courses, drink more coffee. Bad, bad, bad!! It is not a tourist town, despite having quite a few attractions, but it obviously has a lot of grandparents who care for grandchildren in the school holidays given the number of kids pouring off the trains into the arms of older people! The city was the capital of Savoy from the 13th Century until 1563, when the capital was shifted to Turin (apparently the Dukes were having trouble with the French, and could get help ...

The article reads like a "we've got a bigger car" argument. The comment cited in it only refers to the fact that China is well on its way to becoming rich without democracy and its great news that a billion plus are. Also lets examine some governance stuff:
1. the US, EU are chiefly responsible for protectionist policies in agriculture and some industries (like the multi-fibre agreement was dismantled 15 years ago and looks how things hve changed already). This limits demand and pushes down prices affecting investment and development.
2. the high per capita income is linked to barriers / exclusions of movement of people.
Thus while rich democracies, many with a recent colonial history (60 years ago) freely export products, technology and capital where free access has been negotiated courtesy WTO etc where their strengths lie while protecting agriculture, services and movement of people that say a China and other poorer countries may have an advantage. The latter is what is contributing heavily to sustaining the prosperity. Let's level the playing field and see how it all pans out economically, willing to bet that China will be a serious contender for the title.
