Gilmore Girls in South Africa

Okay, so I don't have a giant crazy amazing birthday message for you, because that would just be insignificant in comparison to that masterpiece.
But Happy Belated Birthday!! I know I sent you a message on facebook, but this just seems so much more personal between, well, us three. lol.
I luuuurrrvee you and I'm glad we've been friends for ages and we will continue to do so....OR ELSE.

I wish I wasn't so overwhelmed with schoolwork, I'd stay and visit, but...life is calling my name, and too bad its not catching my drift when I tell it to hold on! lol.

Hey Cody! I am so sorry hun, I cant believe I missed your birthday! I am a terrible friend! I have been a bit preoccupied, got my wisdom teeth (actually 6 teeth in total) out yesterday and im quite sore. I remembered that your birthday was around now so I came on to make sure I could say...

Happy Birthday Darling Cody!!!!

I am sorry it isnt as flash as Chris' I will come along and jazz it up when I am feeling better!

Love B xxx

[Courtney1983]

Now how sad am I that I wasn't even around to KNOW you missed my birthday? lol!
Thank you anyways, I had a great day, lots of fun at a party and such. Friends were very generous, went and saw that Twilight movie too...Meh, wasn't bad. Had a couple lookers in it.   And you know how I enjoy that.

You're not the only one who's been preoccupied, trust me. I've had SO MUCH schoolwork I barely have time for anything. I forget what it's like to watch television, most of my free time is spent out with people or in bed. haha.
And, even though I'm on two weeks Christmas vacation, I have an essay, two seminars and, weirdly enough, I have to write a novella over the break as well, for creative writing. Hmmm... sounds like fun. :|

I miss you both though, and don't worry, since we're on break I'll make time to visit and wish you all both Christmas and New Years wishes.

Love!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY B!!!!
I am at school, so therefore no facebook access, but I thought I'd say a little something while I had the chance. I know this thread has long been abandoned (or, we're on hiatus, rather) but....

It's your birthday and that makes me quite happy!

Enjoy it, lady, have a great one! You're amazing!

Say hey to Jason for me (He better be treating you today!!)

[Courtney1983]

Oh my god guys!

I cannot believe how much has changed since I last wrote here! Of course since I discovered how to log on I decided it would ONLY be fitting if my first post was on the South Africa thread, where I shared all the details of my high school life. Haha.

Wow. Hehe. I hope you guys check this out, but even if you don't catch it for awhile...it feels good to be posting!

How sad is now that I'm an unemployed college graduate who doesn't even have internet at home anymore? Hahaha. I'm not giving up yet though, I found love, so hopefully money isn't too far behind!

Love you guys...yes, STILL! lol.

TRIPLE POST!!!!! IM SO DOBBING ON YOU!!!

Haha!

Well I am back where I was 10 years ago - working for my parents! So bloody depressing! There is NO WAY I am going to my high school reunion this year unless I get a super awesome job before then!

[MasBYUgal]

You should run for some office, that'll show them,;)

Ah really who cares about high school reunions anyways?  Aren't you & Caryn planning for that retirement home yet?

[MasBYUgal]

That made me think, there we never an episode about a class reunion for Lorelai or anyone else on the cast.  That could have been interesting to say the least. 

[Courtney1983]

Haha B!
Triple post! I've become such a rebel in my old age!   
My god, I don't even like TALKING to people I went to school with to have to explain how I'm unemployed! lol. It's ridiculously depressing. I've applied to anywhere and everywhere around here with no luck! I JUST graduated college and sounds like I'll have to go back again soon and take something that is actually going to get me a job!
Or...maybe I'll pack my bags and move somewhere exotic! Haha. (I wish).
I'm still a mommy's girl, I don't know how I'd handle moving. 

I'm planning for a retirement home already...though at this rate I'll never be able to afford one! No pension for me! lol.

Hello girlies!

I am feeling old today so that retirement home is sounding good. Today is my first day back at work after four days on the couch with the flu. Its a good strong flu too that is knocking people down with pneumonia and whilst breathing is hard work I have avoided it sending me to hospital - must be the super potent antibiotics!

Cody what are you qualified as now that you are done with college? Is there nothing in the industry that you qualified for? If so, that sucks eggs! I literally (5 minutes ago) just applied for a job as an office administrator in a real estate agency. Will be easy work, have done it before and I have my real estate certificate so fingers crossed! I am being really picky about where I apply because I dont want to work weekends - I have become so spoiled getting every weekend off with Jason that I cant handle working when he is at home. Nothing worse than tip-toeing around to get ready for work when your partner is having a sleep in, it sucks! I have a few applications out that with any luck will result in an interview but I have applied for three others that I didnt even get to interview stage - I think thats the difference with applying in a smallish area to applying in a large area and competing with 100s of people, you struggle to stand out in the crowd.

Man, I feel like a nap and there is a manager from corporate coming to see us today, nothing like sweeping the floor when it feels like someone is sitting on your chest! He is pretty easy going but I am a bit of a perfectionist. Must be time for a cup of tea and some drugs!!!!

PS - Where is Chris, we have stolen his thread and he hasnt come by to tell us off!

[Courtney1983]

I did it! I remembered my password, 3 years after logging in last! And I felt like this was the right place to post first, since so much of my teenage angst is shared here, lol! I can't believe how much life has happened since we shared so regularly on here. I'm an adult now! I'm married, trying to have a baby!  I'm glad I still get to see your updates on Facebook, but coming back to our starting place seems fun and nostalgic. So I'm happy to do it. What's new???

[QweenB]

Ahh, youre trying to have a baby!!!! That feels so wrong in forum Cody who will always be 16 to me but so right in Facebook Courtney! Haha! Congrats hun! You are Brian will be awesome parents.

Wonder where Chris is? Out taking floaty pics of Rhoda I think

[MasBYUgal]

[QweenB]

Probably in the Australian thread ya ninny! Haha!

But truly, Caryn is a workaholic and Stephanie cant remember her password, haha!!

I tried to find Kristian but that was all too hard!

[MasBYUgal]

This is my mistake for posting on my phone at night. Nice to see ya Courtney....

Yes where is Chris!
