Welcome to Gaia! ::

i wish i had some proper spare time, instead of just sitting here.
but i live in a small rural town which has little to offer, plus i'm on a low wage and many activities cost you money!

something i find appealing is just wandering around with a camera taking pics of whatever catches my eye. i see a lot of websites that are full of lovely shots that other people have taken, just of their daily life more often than not, and i really enjoy looking at them, little glimpses ito other people's lives 3nodding
but to do that i'd need a far better camera than the one i have one my phone, you can tell by the pic of my mouse that that's not very good quality sweatdrop but i would like an excuse to get myself off my butt and outside more 3nodding

i read, nowhere near as much as i used to though, before the internet entered my life i'd always have my nose buried in a book.
now imy main reading time is usually when i'm in bed and should have been asleep for at least an hour rolleyes

yes... You need help with something?

...mmm a good book in spanish... I can tell you a couple but I don't know if you got access them... are you going to download it or are you going to get it in a library or from a friend???

i did it! ninja

i ordered a digital camera today biggrin

Poppetta and myself are the same person incase you were getting confused sweatdrop

should have my camera by Friday anyway, then i shall stalk the unsuspecting public with it twisted

well... eragon it's a good book and I heard that the sequal just came out Eldest (Well here anyway) if you like fantasy. but you probably read them anyway. if you haven't read Da Vinci Code I recomend it
Jelly: jellysundae it's your main account or popetta?? Great outfit by the way. it's great.

don't worry Drago! i live in England, so you can leave the trench-coat in the closet ninja

jelly is my main account, but i'm the most active mule cool

i've read Eragon and Eldest, both enjoyable books, even though it's very obvious that the author is rather young, i wish i was proficient enough in another language to be able to read foreign books, but being British i'm not redface
it's an embarrassing fact, but few Brits can speak any other languages, such an arrogant country, we seem to expect everyone else to learn English instead neutral

i did Spanish at school(long time ago now sweatdrop )only for 6 months though because we moved away.
i really enjoyed it, was very good at it too! British schools teach French as a default foreign language, usually from when you start secondary school aged 11. you then learn it for 3 years.when kids start their 4th year at secondary school they choose the final subjects they want to study, many choose to drop French then, i wanted to but my Mum wouldn't let me mad
But the way it's taught is dull, verbs and more verbs talk2hand
The Spanish i learned was more conversational, aimed at tourists. We learned to ask and give directions, to tell the time and various other things like that, one of the first phrases i remember learning was donde esta la playa cool got to get your priorities right blaugh but i never got to continue my spanish lessons sad
it's a shame, personally i'd have thought it would be more sensible to teach spanish in British schools rather than French. Surely far more countries speak a variation of Spanish than are French speaking?
In my opinion, British schools only started teaching French simply because it's the nearest 'proper' foreign country, as in outside of the British Isles. i suppose i should be grateful that they don't make us all learn Welsh eek
Here's a sentence in Welsh just so you understand what i'm getting at lol

Rydw' i'n dysgwr newydd o Gymraeg, ac rydw i'n gobeithio byddwch chi'n meddwch y croeseiriau hwn.

i've no idea what it says though!
