2006-08-04 [Firenze]: *huggles [shotokan_gal]* Hey Natasha, how are you?

2006-08-04 [shotokan_gal]: I'm great :) *hugs* and you? Love the theme :D

2006-08-04 [Firenze]: I am okay, just getting ready to go away on holiday to Dorset with my family, leaving tomorrow and thanks got the idea of the theme becasue of living near the beach ^_^

2006-08-04 [shotokan_gal]: Ooh enjoy ^^ I've got some pics of beaches nearer to home which I need to go look for too, for possible scanning. This one happened to be on the comp already from a recent trip.

2006-08-04 [Firenze]: I will, that is if I get my new Kite from up there for kite boardin ^_^ Cool ^_^ I shall look forward to seeing them ^_^

2006-08-15 [shotokan_gal]: A-hah, think I found the ones I was looking for (taken last Easter hols, hopefully not too far back >_> ). I've got so many packets of un-albumed photos it's ridiculous >< . Need to get to a scanner now, though I'll admit they're slightly grey British seas again.

2006-08-17 [Firenze]: Awesome ^_^ Mine are the boring British seas again as well, oh well, not participating so not too bothered about it

2006-08-17 [sequeena_rae]: So are mine :( I'm trying to get good ones but it keeps raining here *stabs*

2006-08-17 [Firenze]: It is sunny 'ere at the moment, we have thunder storms on the way though :P

2006-08-17 [sequeena_rae]: I wish it was sunny here xD

2006-08-17 [Firenze]: We have scattered showers at the moment but at the moment the sun is shining and it is too damned hot...had to roll jeans up and now have Dad laughing at me because of my converses...

2006-08-22 [Firenze]: Great photo [G4RR3TT] but need to know where it was taken

2006-08-22 [G4RR3TT]: ok..

2006-08-22 [Firenze]: Um, I mean like where in the world, coast really isn't a good description, anybody can say their photo is of the coast, I want the name of the place, county/state/province and country.

2006-08-22 [Blaithin]: She means where as in location IE England, Hawaii etc. We know it's the coast ;)

2006-08-22 [G4RR3TT]: is somewhere on the texas coast ok? cause I don't know where we were at all I knew was along the texas coast thingy

2006-08-22 [Blaithin]: Do you know what the closest city was too it? It doesn't really matter but that'll help :)

2006-08-22 [G4RR3TT]: No I don't rember

2006-08-22 [Blaithin]: That's alright then :)

2006-08-22 [shotokan_gal]: There is sea in that last one, it just happens to be roughly the same colour as the sky... >_> (british weather)

2006-08-22 [Firenze]: I agree British weather is crap on the best of days, so I understand Natasha ^_^

2006-08-22 [shotokan_gal]: ^^ The uni library finally has a new scanner too, woot! (wasn't a fan of their old ones)

2006-08-22 [Firenze]: That is awesome ^_^ The scanners in my college are crap so I tend to just scan at home ^_^

2006-08-22 [shotokan_gal]: I do normally too, though only been home (don't have my own scanner up here) for a week earlier this summer, so didn't do much then.

2006-08-22 [Firenze]: Suckage, I don't go back till September and am changing courses once again...been offered a job but need NVQ1, 2 and 3 in childcare to do it, then whilst working need to take the teaching assistant course >.<

2006-08-22 [shotokan_gal]: Been here all summer, though not many other students are, doing the postgrad dissertation thing. Roughly another month left, then the job (and house/flat) hunt properly begins! What's the work - primary teaching?

2006-08-22 [Firenze]: A primary school teaching assistant and once I have done that, they are going to be putting me in for teacher training so I can become a primary school teacher ^_^

2006-08-22 [shotokan_gal]: Very cool, good luck for that :) Couldn't work long term with little kids personally, though sometimes gone in to help my mum out, who works at my old primary as a bilingual/classroom assistant. Helped out on a school trip with year 2s once, what a handful o_O

2006-08-22 [Firenze]: I have taught the wildest yr 7 bottom set PE group you have ever met on my own because the PE department lack staff and I offered to help out, was basically given the sporting schedule and was told teach. Those girls acted worse than yr 1s. But in the end they turned out to be okay and helped them out in a big way according to the behaviour support team, as for working with little kids I am for some reason adored by them so shouldn't be too hard, I think it is because I am funny and easy to get along with.

2006-08-22 [shotokan_gal]: Hehe... they were cute and very sweet actually, but after one day of it I was tired out! Well, it sounds like you made a difference there, and that's no doubt one of the best qualities to have in teachers - those who care a lot about the kids.

2006-08-22 [Firenze]: Yeah well I learnt that the best way to make a kid do what you want is to befriend them and then they can feel that they can say anything to you problems wise and you can talk things out. There was a lot of bullying problems in the group.

2006-09-16 [Firenze]: 4 days of voting left so hurry up and vote on Sand and Sea Photography Voting

2006-09-18 [Just.Kate]: Aww I missed it... Can I put in a last minute entry?

2006-09-18 [Kyrinn]: I doubt it..

2006-09-18 [Just.Kate]: I dont suppose it would be terribly fair... But still. -sad-

2006-09-18 [Firenze]: It is in the last 2 days of voting so would be pretty pointless and I don't really want to have to set up re-voting, no offense is meant to be intended here, maybe next time I run this contest you can enter ^_^

2006-09-19 [Just.Kate]: Run it again soon! O_O

2006-09-19 [Firenze]: I won't be running it again till next year sometime, but I will have more photography contests throughout the rest of this year as I like seasonal contests ^_^
