Well the new format is okay I guess but my profile photo looks "squishy" so I will have to look for a new one.

Haven't been here much as I have been busy but I will try and catch a few other blogs later.

So final season of ER is coming up "sniffles" but it is time. Hope some actors come back for finale.

Dexter season 3 is a go and I am so pumped ..can't wait (Yes I am spoiled so i know you know what about you know who and the infamous chocolate pudding scenes)

Cheers Mel

Hi all.

we have just returned from a fortnight in the Alps - first the Jura in France and then the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. What a fantastic combination of relaxation, fresh air and hiking up mountains - with a bit of skiing thrown in! We stayed in a little folding caravan that I bought on ebay last October, which was amazingly cosy, and given it rained most nights, thankfully dry too! The thunder and lightening were most impressive entertainment once I believed that the canvas would hold!

Be back soon!

Well... prom was about 3 weeks ago but i've only just motivated myself to upload the pics and get them onto my laptop!

The night was beyond fantastic! we all got dressed up and looked pretty fanttttastic! and we had champage, photo's and chat at my friends house. Before i post the pics i shall give you a little list of who people are and the colour of their dresses so it will make it easier for you to see who everyone is!

Jenny- in the pink
Nathalie- in the blue
Dom- he has the yellow cravat
Liz- pale bluey,green, minty dress
Nathan- pinky purple cravat
Nina-green dress
Ritchie- shirt and tie
and Moi- Blackkkk dress

So heres the gang together before we left and then we are standing outside the Millenium bridge!

heres a few of just us girls and on occasion dom as well!

And then we had a bit more of a drive round in the limo, and spent a LONG and important time on working on our "Tyra Poses"

Its sad but Nathalie has got her down! mine needs a tiny bit of work..

Now i would never of got to prom if it wasnt for the little gestures i had to pull. It seems i had no points ( we needs 6 ) and i only had a few weeks to make them up! so i did all i could to secure them and even went as far as to bake a chocolate cake! And it brought alot of fun with it.. yes we were slightly bored that lesson!

Heres a picture of the prom king and Queen!

It was a fantastic night, and when the prom finished i ended up going to a house party, but we got there before the host, and his mother let us in.. and well i left prettty swiftly!

And that is all i have children, so go forth and comment! and before its said.. yes i am tall!

Hi everyone!

I took part in Jack Petchey's Speak out! competition at my school it was really good because we were coached in how to speak infront of a crowd. Our body language, eyecontact, pace etc it was really interesting because you could really see people developing throughout the day as we learnt new things!

Well the competition itself came towards the end of the day when we were given the task of preparing a speech about a subject we felt strongly about to present to the rest of the group. I choose the fact that the emergency services are underpayed, it just annoys me that certain porfessions get paid more when the emergency services are so valuble. Anyway I was really nervous and shaking and it soon came to my turn but when I stood up I just thought 'I'm gonna go for it there's no point my nerves getting to me'. So I blitzed through it and it turns out...

I came second Which means I'm through to the Borough final but I'm not sure if I'm a reserve or actually speaking, but it'll be a good experience!

I'm thinking of buying Knocked up and Superbad has anybody seen them and would you recommend?

Hope everyone's had a good week so far

I haven't picked up a person editorship in a long time, so I figured it's a blog-worthy occasion. The ironic thing is, this is one of the first people I submitted trivia for and it took me this long to get 40 points.

The person in mention is Max Kellerman, former host of ESPN's Around the Horn and host of the longe since cancelled I, Max which aired on Fox Sports Net. He currently hosts a radio show on ESPN 1050 in New York.

And a sad note, three years ago today Max's younger brother Sam was found brutally murdered in his LA apartment.

I just posted the news that TNT has renewed The Closer for its fourth season (yee-ha!) and what did I notice but it was post 17,000.

SEVENTEEN THOUSAND POSTS?

Lordy.

Today is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.  This is a subject that hits very close to home since my husband is Armenian.  The Armenian Genocide began in 1915 and was perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks.  More than 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered, including most of my husband's ancestors.  His grandfather happened to be out of the country when the genocide began or he would have most likely been killed as well.  His siblings were killed with the exception of a sister (who only survived because she hid under a pile of corpses) and two very young sisters who were taken as sex slaves by the Turks.  This is why my husband is the only one left to carry on his last name.  I hope that I have a boy first so that the pressure is off! 

Did you know that this is how Hitler got the idea for the Holocaust.  He was quoted as saying, "Who remembers the Armenians?"  Yet most of you probably aren't even aware that this genocide took place.  I never knew until I met my husband.  The worst part about it is that Turkey still denies it to this day.  There was actually a rally in Washington D.C. yesterday, in which Turks held signs claiming that Armenians slaughtered Turks and they are the ones guilty of mass murder.  In fact, if someone in Turkey mentions the Armenian Genocide, they are thrown in prison.  Most countries in Europe have already recognized this tragedy as genocide, but the U.S. has not.  They are threatened by Turkey, and they are afraid to stand up against them.  Most U.S. states have recognized the genocide on their own.  This brings me to the main point of this blog.  We need to support House and Senate Resolutions 106.  This would bring a vote to the floor, and if it passes the genocide would officially be recognized by the United States. 

Please visit the ANCA (Armenian National Committee of America) website.  I don't want to post the link here...not sure if I'm allowed.  Just do a search for ANCA and you'll find it.  They have a click for justice campaign to support the House and Senate Resolutions 106 (if you live in the U.S.).  You just enter some info including your zip code and the e-mail is sent directly to your state representative.  If you can spare a couple of minutes for this cause, it would be greatly appreciated and will surely make a difference. 

We need to take a stand against genocide.  It still happens today, and we do nothing to stop it.  In fact, most of you know that it is happening right now.  Why is this allowed to happen? 

Thank you for reading my blog!  I appreciate your time!!!

ETA:  There was a documentary on PBS last year about the Armenain Genocide and it was actually narrated by ER's own Julianna Margulies.
