I just realized exactly how long it had been since I opened up lj and posted or read anything . For all my complaining this summer 2007 was a pretty good year overall .

I ' ve just emailed Virginia Ironside to tell her how much I ' m enjoying her book - I ' ve told her about my blog so I hope if she visits , she 'll leave a comment - would n't that be exciting !

I 'd meet my friends at the same place for lunch every day and one day she was with them . She just kind of appeared , and no one bothered to introduce us so it was over a week before I learned her name . She had a crazy sense of humour , and because she had foreign parents her stories always seemed more interesting than ours . In high school we 'd leaf through Vogue , Elle and GQ with the metro guys and commiserate about our IB assignments .
Answer the following question: What may not happen if I did n't eat lunch at the same place ?

I may not hear stories about another culture from her .

I even used two other phones to make sure the phone buttons were working for the eppicard system ... no matter what phone I tried , the card number is invalid .

Answer the following question: What may happen after trying to gain access to my eppicard account ?
I would have problems with every phone i tried to use .
