Obviously we're all such nolifes that we do actually post here now, after everyone else has sadly left :sadness: :'(
Soooooo we need a thread for this that works. 
*brainwave* I'll start.
I GOT THE JOB. I START AS A CHECKOUT CHICK TOMORROW. Wow omg so exciting isn't it?
Give us your good news too because we all like to hear it and stuff.
3 bits of good news from me!
First I've actually been able to connect to this site properly - finally!

Not been for a while as it's taking absolutely forever lately, to connect to anything here and I'm just not patient enough!
But today got a suprise package from Arizona! A CD of all the songs Chris Daughtry sung on Idol as well as the album songs on it! With Daughtry stickers decorating it and a lovely letter about being friends and staying that way - from another Daughtry fan I've got to know!
So am quite happy to l sit here listening while I wait to connect here! Loving it - not the waiting , but the singing;)
then there were, thank u for the insight ive got this thing to do and mayb we will say hello b4 the holidays,happy hoilday everyone and remember to have arest c u at big day out i hope...
the lake is flat today and its the first time ive seen colors in the landscape and i feel like a swim....
The Good News is that Alaina's here and going round brightening up the site.
Xmas is coming! Good on you Alaina!
Time to put up the tree I'm thinking!
Yup, I'm gonna put up mine this week I think. Or this weekend at the latest. Got around to it late last year but had it up til about February I think. lol
I must be the last person in the World to buy a MP3 player. went to Dick Smiths Porirua today and bought a flashdrive 1Gb for my sons 6th birthday. it taken me 1/2 hour to try figure out how to drag& drop? tracks across. I spent 1hour looking for the CD driver and then realised it doesnt even come with one Lol
some mothers do have 'em
Something that I feel really good about - rather than good news I've had!
I've just resigned from something I've been committed to for far too many years! Wanted to do it for ages, and finally something happened that made me decide 'that's it'! Sent e-mail letter of resignation just now and feel reallly good now that I've finally done it!
yay i know that freedom feeling especially when belonging to clubs, Groups etc. no more hassle
I'd lke to resign from work and get my Super paid into my Bank a/c. we still have resignation payments on our plan
I'm FINALLY going to university after all that hassle with being ill.
*pumps fist in the air while yelling a very anime-esque YEAH!*
YAY NELLIE!
♥
I'm coming to Wellington on the 15th of december.
Actually staying in Lower Hutt but still. ^_^
Anyone want to be social and grab coffee at some stage? I haven't met any wellington people
DUDE! Why can't you come in the school term XD
How long are you here?
Ummmm not long. Actually at all
I come up insanely early Saturday morning for a wedding that goes like all day, then go home Tuesday afternoon (that was the last flight left before Christmas pretty much).
So like Monday is handy and stuff. Oh we should have like a big IB meet thing. And Jemma and BIMI and Chevy ^_^ If you're free of course
Checkout the Westfiled shopping Complex [it sticks out a mile] in Lower Hutt. if you can make it there on sun16th PM afternoon, i'll try bring the 5winks along for you to see. also my new 8month old baby who has my colour and his mothers european chisel features LOL! quite a see
coooool I shall try
It's not really a question of being free because I do nothing all holidays, it's more a question of excuses XD
say you're meeting a debating friend. Or going shopping? What sorts of excuses do you usually give?
Off on a Pacific Islands Cruise July 23, 2008!!! Woohoo, can't wait!
Nicee! Im jealous.
!
Take lotsa photos to make us all jealous.
Feel like paying for me to go?
Lucky you Firefox. Tell us more!
Good to see you back here by the way!
It's a conducted tour with people my own age - 10 of us going plus the Tour Directors - husband and wife from Christchurch - who do tours all over NZ and overseas - and then there'll be - including us - 1900 people aboard ship - cruising from Auckland - we fly to Auckland the day before and stay the night in Auckland then board the ship at 4pm the next day - 23 July 2008 - cruising from there to Lifou as our first stop - which takes 3 days to get there from Auckland for a start - then on to Vila - Capital of Vanuatu - and then round the corner to Mystery Islands and then 3 days back to Auckland again from there. A 9-day Cruise and HEAPS of activities on board the ship. There's movies, shows, discos, parties, quizzes, karaoke - won't be doing that Ben Lummis hehe! Also Latin and Ballroom dancing - really want to try those - among the many other things - a library and internet cafe on board, ice-cream bar, pools, whirlpools and the list goes on.
I know of someone that went on a different Pacific Islands tour with P&O cruising on the Pacific Star - different ship to ours - and took a couple of books to read but never read them as there was something sun-up to sun-down every day on the ship. I got told to check the ship newspaper - we get one every day in our cabins - either last thing the night before or first thing next morning - to decide on what activities I wanted to do.
I just wish it would hurry up and come now. People are saying to me that once Christmas has been and gone the time will fly. Mind you time flies when you are having fun too
yay for Suzy-Q! hope you meet a nice Islander dude
platonic ofcourse
Why make it platonic Chevy dude when you can go the whole nine yards - jolly good idea of yours by the way - as they say 'Where there's life there's hope' and I certainly live in blimming hope.
I thought of a 'Love Boat' type romance myself actually, when I knew I was going on the Cruise!
I'll certainly be checking out the talent Chev you can bet your boots on that one.
Put me back on as a friend of yours on Bebo. I'm back on there now and be good to keep in touch.
yeah i noticed you just disappeard off my bebo list 5months ago. as soon as i find ur link i'll put you back on.
does anyone do Facebook?
saw you on bebo chev and looked at all of your beautiful kiddiwink photos
thankingyou Ev they're all well behaved most of the times
Sounds awesome Firefox. A dream holiday indeed.
Don't know what you think of Chevy's idea. Never know though.
I think it's a blimming good idea of Chevy's, Loyal, is what I think. I even thought of it myself when I knew I was going on the Cruise, although checking out the men ON the boat rather than OFF it, but you never know one of the crew might be an option, or one of the passengers, I actually thought of checking out my fellow male passengers but I'll make jolly sure first, at first dinner sitting, that any 'possibilities' are dining ALONE first.
Wish me luck on that one my fellow bloggers.
Good on you Firefox!
But stay away from the crew - they'll just want a quick pick-up for the trip.
I'm not SERIOUSLY looking at anyone but if someone decent showed interest and all the lights were 'go' then well and good. Certainly wouldn't consider the crew though.
Thanks for the advice Loyal, and Chevy.
lol reminds me of gilbert o'sulivans song: alone again naturally. Islanders are nice and mainly Christian religion
what to do: start rehearsing topics of conversation without the cheesy pick up lines...
.Hi where in the World are you from
.have you been to New Zealand
.do you like this cruise so far
.what islands are you looking forward to stopping off on
.ive gotten over my sea sickness lol
.do you notice the hot weather
.i think we've been overcharged for this cruise
guys sense if a person is trying to hard and may switch off as theres no challenge. so the basic neighbour/ workmate/ friend chat is an easy way to make people feel comfortable and open up to a friendship with a new person
guys are humanbeing and like the 'everyday normally' type coversations
bon voyage
Thanks for that Chevy from the Levy
How is Levin these days by the way? Still benefitting from your Pool playing finesse no doubt. 
Do you still play or not so much these days?
still a nice and quiet Xtian Taleban/ Exclusive bretheran town
Pool? nah i gave it up ages ago when bebo rolled into town.
say hello on my bebo and i'll add you, i cant find ur a/c Suzy Q
You surprise me firefox!
Loving this - great that you're helping with the pick-up lines chevy and advice from a guys point of view!
You may be right there too - Islanders likely to be nice and friendy, laid back and yes, Christian.
Me, or Chevy, on holiday Loyal, I'm guessing you mean me? Where on earth did you get that smiley from?
I'm wondering if our smileys from here have been imported into Throng and replaced with the ones we now have here on Idolblog, anyone else been wondering that?
I know
i miss the 
and the 
they were the best ive seen on the Net. throng got all those now
Not been here for a while, but my good news from since I last was - is that I met chevy.
Never met him or many other Idolbloggers before!
Hope he didn't think I was an idiot for getting so excited at meeting another Idolblogger.
hey it was great meeting you Loyal. I normally venture in to the lower level Dept store Mens wear Most people i meet in person say 'yep thats exactly how i pictured chevy' Lol!
I hope to meet Alaina, Scap in Feb next year in Aucks Sylvia Park complex, hopefully Blah too
How and where did you meet chevic Loyal ?
Lol Loyal doesnt know it but she has served me before at her work, i didnt even know that was Loyal back then, now i seen her name tag i said ''Oh hi my name is chevy im from Levin, you know the idolblog site'' I was shopping for my sons birthday pressie StarWars darth vader toy
There Ev, Chevy explained it!
Hope I was nice to you before chevy - not in one of my 'fed-up-with-customers' moods'.
And no, you weren't quite how I expected you - more laid back and nicer.
lol fed up with customers. Ive been in heavy industries for 20yrs now and do symphasize and know what its like. it doesnt worry me, mature people are understanding
laid back, its the normal me outside of the Netblog, everyones the same yay!
TC said in Throng that Idolblog is working again - so just testing!
Good new if it is! But no time to say anything more right now! Will be back though!
ATTACK OF THE SPAMMERS!!
But thats not good news. oh well.
Must share the news of an exciting parcel I got yesterday - but first the background to it!
Last week I sent a message to Joe at The Edge asking her to play 'Over You' by Chris Daughtry. Got a phone call and spoke to Joe - on air! Then she played it just for me.
That was exciting enough, but she also said she'd see I got sent something.
Then yesterday I got a package containing 5 CD's.
Included one I'd wanted - 'Who are we' by
Lifehouse. Especially happy to get that because on his last web-blog on daughtryofficial, Chris had said he recommended it and that he's been listening to all the time on the road. Had planned to buy it and love it!
Also got latest albums by Thirty Seconds to Mars, Plain White T's, Sean Kingston and Icky Thump - whoever they are!
Really, really appreciated and I thank the Edge and Joe!
wow lucky you! thats nice of joe
icky thump is a song by The White Stripes. I downl.... it the other day.
The Edge is not my cuppa tea untill they have no repeat workdays so i dont get to hear the same song every hour
The Rock rulz!! Nick and Rodg
Found out about White Stripes now. That it's a group - not Icky thump which is the name of a song.
See they're nominated in the MTV video awards which is on this week under Best Group I think it is.
Daughtry is too with 'Home' nominated for Monster Single!
Anyway, found a happy home for it with my son, who knows all about it and is into it! I played some of it and found it not too bad and better listening that the Plain White T's album which is quite ordinary. But I'd already offered it to him before I played it.
