no more school, no more books, no more bodies hung on hooks

[livingdeadgirl]

you know, in times like these I think it is important to look on the bright side
so everyone, please take a moment today to appreciate the little things in life
such as the songs of birds or the music of the ice cream truck
or the fragile warmth and unconditional love of a baby puppy

... or of course the fact that there is *~*~ just one more week till SUMMER VACATION!! ~*~*
who's excited? raise your hand! o/
or don't, since school's about to be out haha

Mmmm, school was always different for me until I came here. I was not used to summer vacation much, being home schooled. It's a bit of a novel thing, though I don't get to enjoy it as much now. Work is work, after all, is it not?

[livingdeadgirl]

oh really? I thought you went to... what was it
lychee?

[true_noir]

That was the last part, and I did, or more accurately High School. I sometimes forget to use the American term. I came here on an exchange program, but I was home schooled until then and worked at my mother's vineyard.

And... before I forget, it's Lycee. Not a delicious little fruit that does not smile at you.

[livingdeadgirl]

oh neat! did you ever get to do that thing where you stomp on the grapes?
that has always sounded really fun to me if a bit messy

also I blame autocorrect haha
actually I didn't know there was a fruit called that
what is a lychee anyway?

[true_noir]

Several times, though mostly for festivals. We usually used a more or less modern press.

It's a red, sweet fruit that grows in china. If you ever go to an import store, they sell lychee sodas. They're light and sweet. I rather like them, though it's expensive to get here.

[livingdeadgirl]

cool! I will have to try those sometime :D

[glaciers]

Finals first.
I'm looking forward to vacation though.

[livingdeadgirl]

hang in there! :D
I actually don't have finals per se this year (yay middle school) but I do still have a couple of tests coming up
that's kind of similar right?

what have you got planned for vacation btw?

[glaciers]

Close enough, I guess.

Mostly work. I have some scenes people need me for.

[livingdeadgirl]

scenes? :o

[glaciers]

I'm an actor.

[livingdeadgirl]

oh wow! that's awesome
do you get paid for that?

[glaciers]

Yes.
Why wouldn't I get paid?

[gnasher]

uni's already out. i'm going to the beach, even if the water's weird.

[livingdeadgirl]

I dunno
I guess I thought acting is one of those fields where you have to do it for free for a long time before you make it big

[glaciers]

No, you need to get paid for your work.
Even advertisements need to pay the actors and other workers.
If they're not paying it's not worth it.

[livingdeadgirl]

luckyyyy :p
I'm going to go too though at some point!
have you ever seen that thing they do in anime with the watermelon?
where they take one out to the beach and then break it open with a bat?
I kind of want to try that sometime
the outside of the watermelon may be gray but the juicy innards will still be pink!

[gnasher]

i'm always up for summer watermelon. you got a mean enough swing?

[livingdeadgirl]

ohh I see
I'm not an actress or anything but I will keep that in mind
also you should let people know when you are performing
I am sure some of us will want to come and see!

[glaciers]

They're tv shows and ads.
I'm probably in the background of stuff more often than I get speaking lines.

[livingdeadgirl]

yes, sir! my noodly appendages are ready!

[that means no. no, she does not.]

[gnasher]

what about a watermelon the size of a meatball, then?

[livingdeadgirl]

aww its cute though
I almost don't want to break that one!
(almost)

side question though do you normally eat meatballs the size of a baby's head

[gnasher]

don't lose sight of the objective. smash it!

as for giant serving sizes, i'm a swimmer. we burn a lot of calories a day. like, a lot a lot a lot. a baby's head worth of meatballs isn't even close to enough.

[livingdeadgirl]

[meanwhile this little twiglet barely has that much meat on her whole body :'D]

ok but have you ever had one single meatball that was that size? that is the question here!
