That's how I felt with the new Xmas mail shower after my return from London! :D Makes me feel - how do you say that? - all warm and fuzzy (?) ;)

Laura - So sweet Xmas card!! Thank you, corazon! I hope you had amazing time ! :) Incredible how big distance it traveled to get to me! :) Oh, in London I saw many many birds' feathers in natural history museum and immediately thought of you..pity they were not for sale!! :)

Alison - Sweetie, thanks for your lovely card (beautiful!!) and your gift (w-o-w!). It arrived after I've returned but definitely won't be wasted, because I'm already decided to return to UK as soon as possible! And your gift is actually a sign from above that I should! :D If you have read/seen my little travel report, you figured we didn't have a chance to see all of London sights and I absolutely fell in love with the city/country :) I would actually love to return this summer and stay a little longer if possible... I can't wait! *fangirlish breathless excitement* Thank you for you generosity, dear!! xoxox

Lauren - your cards are always cheerful that it bring a huge smile on one's face!! ;) Even the envelope is a little piece of art! haha I love the shiny metalic pen you use... bought one, but it stopped working for some reason... and I wanted one for years|! What a bummer lol Be careful what you wish for... noted :) Thanks for the lovely card and the fantastic Fantales! YAY! They are yummy..and first one I pulled out of the package was of course about Geoffy (what a luck!) :)) They are great for strengthening the jaw. And so tasty... *sigh* Thank you soo much!!

Now I'm pretty much surrounded by Rushie love here... It feels just fine!! Thanks g*d I have a big table!! lol I hope I didn't forget to name anyone!!
Now on a job hunt so I can feed my newly found love for travelling...

Love, Rushies!!

xoxox

song for you

Hello Friends!!! I'm SO home!!
Since yesterday actually, but I was sharing all the London awesomness with family and, yes, after 24 hours in bus I was dead exhausted that I dropped off soon :)
First ...

LONDON WAS AMAZING!!!!!

Sorry if the report is a little incoherent, but I slept 14 hours and am still dead tired :) In 5 days, I slept hardly 8 hours in total :)
Cate - when I was passing France I was waving and saying "hi", I hope you heard me ;)

The bus ride to UK was long and exhausting, but really okay. You might not believe but the FIRST film they let us watch in the bus was ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE!! You can imagine that I was over the moon :D And showing both my friends Geoffrey, but they could not really appreciate him, one is goth and one emo, so... lol You can imagine. We were incredible group. And loud. haha

The control before the Channel tunnel was at around 6am (everyone half asleep) and really... bothering. Both controls. Like the cattle in a tiny room, ick! But then they loaded the train with us and bus (ha!) and we enjoyed being the tube mail ;) It was incredible. I took a walk inside the bus during the ride (thanks g*d I don't suffer the seasickness!!) and it was really fun. Just don't ever think of *where* exactly you are :D
After some 30 or 45 minutes we emerged in Dover (or I think so :)) and I think I will never that:



The hotel was awesome! Check in without problem, very nice personnel (Days Inn Hyde Park/ Sussex Gardens - recommend!). The room was small but nice and tidy :) We got a map for free! And then... yeah, London underground. Jesus!! xD We used that and eventually became familiar enough (hear my pride XD) to travel with it.

First day we've visited Natural History museum. After 24 hours in bus and without sleep, I felt really... hyper :) It was incredible. Especially dinosaur exhibition:





Laso other exhibitions were incredible. We spent long time with stones/minerals; mother nature is really creative. But not always :)



What we really loved was the architecture. The museum after the sunset is breath-taking!





I wish we had more time to see that all. But we were running out of time :(
6th was also the last day when Oxford street was still having this beautiful Xmas decoration:



Its so long that my poor legs suffered almost breakdown during the walk there xD But many shops are pretty similar to those we have in Czech. Many have prizes that must equal the trip to the space o.O I actually didn't buy anything there. Except HMV where I bought in sale "Serenity" DVD! Serenity/Firefly ftw!! :D I also wanted to buy Lostprophets new single, but they didn't have it. Losers!! :( Doesn't matter, I'm gonna buy an album. But still...

Back in hotel we got a new member of the group (named appropriately "Lost llamas") - Mr.Lemon:

)

We had a lot of fun with him. Don't ask how I cut him, he doesn't like the story. I dont either. Note - I didn't have a knife. lol

The next day was really exciting. We were to go to the listening party for new Lostprophets album at 6.30 pm. But first we have visited Sherlock Holmes museum and British Museum. Yeah, it was busy but definitely worth it! I'm a big fan of Holmes and the museum was my dream comes true :) Here is me with the biggest criminals of the victorian times (doc Moriarty excluded lol):



and :

Bitish museum is huuuge. We've seen maybe half of it. Pity we couldn't visit every exhibition, but we would starve to death before the party itself :) I absolutely loved the egyptian exhibition and, yes, pity I missed most of the asian one!! Impressive collection :D And daaaaamn cold rooms!



Hello Pharaoh!



Its beautiful and hard to believe its so OLD!
Random stuff that made us laugh reall hard :)



From the museum we went for a short "where-the-heck" are we trip, but eventually managed to find ourselves again. Thanks to random lady who stopped by us and asked if we got lost and offered her help. :)

Lets skip the restaurant and pizza (which was tasty) and get to the party.
Lets make it clear - it was cold outside. It was f*cking freezing, actually!! We waited almost an hour there. No real complaints, we were logically b*tching, but mostly really because of the weather because we were honestly happy that we made it there.
Inside we had to show them our ID cards (problems with names - too long too strange, classic!) and got VIP paper bracelet. WOOT! VIP for the first and last time in my life!! :D Then we had to get rid of out bags and everything. No cameras, cell phones, whatever. Check up by the door. Yes, I had the jumper. Bodyguard or whoever asked me to show him what's under it. I did "my little turn on the catwalk" showing him how girl looks like xD He and his colleague turned a little red and went like "wow" geeeheee Guess I got them funnily embarrassed, but they looked honestly happy and sent me in the showroom!
We met two italian girls there, who knew my dear friend. We hit it off right away! They were really fun and made the evening/night incredible fun. THANKS!!
We had some energy drinks there and they really kept me alive. We were sitting on the ground and listening to the Betrayed album and we absolutely loved it!! Its damn well balanced music and everyone will find his fav song there IMHO From dark and gritty stuff to almost (or completely) pop songs - loved them all. And I intend to buy it. I know they say if you download it for free its okay... well, guys, maybe that's the reason why I want to *buy* it. :)

The QaA ... I didn't expect anyone of the boys to show up. Really. When it turned out that at least three of them won't be there I thought the rest wont come as well. Why would they bother? Its not a big show or something. Not US or Japan, either. I came to see London, listen to album and maybe meet some new friends. Mission completed.
Imagine the surprise when Ian Watkins came. HA! To write about the following QA would take long... I loved it. Ian was cool, got my sympathies (I'm afraid I didn't got his with my lousy excuse that I babble just because I'm a foreigner LOL). He choked, he sang, he joked and talked back, he cared and shared (his Kit Kat with somebody's mum) and overall made the evening memorable. Thanks, Ian!
Another one, who got all our sympathies was Julie Weir from Visible Noise company - fun, charming, incredibly fun lady who had a small chat with our little company of foreigners and even agreed to take a photo with us! :) The best, we got a little gifts, too. It was awesome, thank you, Julie, you made our day(s)!!!
The rest of the night we spent chatting with our italian friends in their hotel, had a blast and wasn't really happy we had to leave around midnight to get back to our hotel and at least get ready to leave another day.
The problem was, the underground closed already. Bus is it then.
We couldn't find any that would stop on Paddington. Even better. We got lost. Wandering through the extremely cold night London streets, we met a young man who advised us a little (eventually pushed us a little closer to our destination!). The guy was... from Slovakia!! lol We talked english and when we were leaving he heard us and went like "Hey, who of you talked in czech??" and we "We all do!" xD Incredible!
At 1am we wandered Oxford street from one end to another, unsure in which direction Hyde park is. And still it was too far to make it without public transport. Long story short - a lot of frozen shaking and cursing (not all of us) and two double deckers later, we made it to Paddington and got to hotel around 2 am. Destined to wake up at 7am again and be en route to home for the next 24 sleepless hours. Mucho fun !

It was incredible time and I thaks everyone who made it possible. You know who is it. :)

Sorry for boring you.



I am there (just hidden by another girl lol) !!

xoxoxo

For London!! And because I'm going by bus, I will be there on January 6th... gonna be long and exhausting, but I'm really excited!! Once again thanks everyone who helped me to make the dream come true!! Love love love :)
I hope to share the pics when Im back home.

Till then, take care and keep the Rushie spirit alive!! ;))

Ava
xoxox

PS: Only thing botheres me, that I'll have to wait fr the rest of my mail for one more week :(

Just a short squeee-ing entry to announce that I won two passes to the London album listening party in January! Thanks everyone who helped me with clicking those annoying links and helped me to make it possible! ;) My dear friend, who goes with me, was so kind to lend me the money for bus ticket - all the more reasons to finally find a good job in the next year!
I'm over the Moon!
Lostprophets, here I come! (hopefully)

xD

Love, apples, squees !!!

I'm really uninspired lately! As you all know, I haven't find a job yet. I spend a lot of time sitting in fron of the laptop screen, browsing the HR websites and so. Its hard to find enough enthusiasm for anything else these days. But I know Im not the only one...
I've considered return to writing. Its been always a hobby and haven¨t had enough time for that. And also would love to send a note to Geoffy! I didn't have a chance to thank him for the lovely Exit the Kind card and I feel like it would be a nice thing to do. It really made my summer, when I was all stressed because of the RL issues and mostly the graduation... :)
Talking about it, I have a grad ceremony tomorrow. I should get a diploma. But I strongly consider not going there. I mean, I dislike these actions... many people and stuff. We are not even having the clothes and hats like we suppose to have. How stupid!
Plus, not sure if parents will be there ... so really waste of my time. :/

Oh, and out of boredom I've started to attend the japanese course in university again LOL My teacher was very nice and welcoming . AND preparing for CAE - language certificate from English. I have lots to learn o_O My grammar sucks and my pronounciation is ridiculous *runs around in circles, panicking*

That would be randomly all from me.

Oh , and Lostprophets have a new singl - yay! I like a lot! :)) I send a song before, now you can check the vid, which is really apocalyptic ;)

Was my studies wasted time? I hope not. I really hope. Because I can not find a job. One month after graduation from university and I'm desperately unemployed. I know the risks of living in almost completely industrial area. When you are no engineer its really hard. I was ready to take any good job. Even assistant or receptionist. But everywhere its the same story - lack of professional experience. But where am I supposed to get it?! When uni never cared and employers want experienced employees?! Its frustrating the hell out of me. Currently I'm on a walfare and... well, its a terrible feeling. All I want is a well payed job so I can help family. Is that so difficult? Obviously yes.
I was ever ready to accept a job where they wanted me to work over-time and weekends, but they didn't get back to me, though they've showed interest...
:'(
But what would you expect when their personalist didnt even have a degree. She tested me in English and started "So say me..." Meh. Give me a break.

Okay, sorry for the renting. Just needed to get it off my chest... I hope you are well, people!

For those my friends who don't know it yet - yesterday I passed the graduation exams, defended my diploma thesis and ergo earned my university degree :D

Exhausted, happy, proud... all in one :)

Thanks for the support! :)

Love,

Hello Rushies!

Long time no read! Miss you all terribly. SO much!
Just wanted to little update you on situation in Czech.

On 25th August (ergo next week, Tuesday) I'm taking graduation exams. *full blown panic attack*
The diploma thesis I'd been writing for so long is suggested by opponents on A and A- (WOOT and GO me!). Depends on how well will I defend it.

I have here over 500 of text I've been trying to stuff in my head and now I feel like its all running through my fingers (and brain cells) and nothing remains. :/ Yes, anxious, big time.
However, I will try my best to eventually earn the degree I've been working on for five long (or?) years.
Please, keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Love you all!! Can't wait to return to the Rushland :)

Take care
xoxo

song for you

YAY!! Finally its summer! (looks out of the window) Well... at least astronomically :/
I haven't posted entry for so long. But now looking at the lovely new decor (dweedie, thanks!! xoxo) I feel inspired again! :)

Its been long and exhausting time, but I already finished my thesis. Done and done, ready to print out and deliver. Im so relieved now! First thing I did was I took all the books to library, returned them and then borrowed 600 pages thick book with horror stories *big grin* Yay me!
So now its only graduation exam for me in August :)

What next? I need to re-take my "technical maintaince of car" exam on 13th July (how come I gotta wait that long?!). This time I have time to study for it so its gonna be okay :) Then I get my driving licence finally (eh, I dont hae a car so that makes no difference but what the heck :))

Slowly getting back to reading, drawing and writing again! :) Yay for you, real live! xD
I want thank all you lovely Rushies for moral support and lifting my spirits with your awesome entries all the time! *Hugs* to all of you!

So what is everyone planning for the summer??! :D

xoxo

and song for you

		I will marry Geoffrey Rush.
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in New York in our fabulous Apartment.
		We will have 7 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a silver SUV.
		I will spend my days as a writer, and live happily ever after.

And the thesis from hell will be done and ready to hand out!! Yippieeeeee!!
I SO missed my online time (I'm such a geek) and my friends.
No more sleepless nights, no more nausea.
Can life be that great?!

I'm looking forward to the full Return of the Rushie XD

Missed you, guys!

the title says it all...

Love
xx

Happy Birthday, Rushie mate!



Have a great day! All the best, Cate :)

Love and hugs
xoxo

Hello Rushies!

So it's here. Ava's last semester officially ended yesterday. Last semester EVER. I need to hand out my thesis/diploma work in a month now (that is going to be a hell!!) and in June grad exams. I still consider to move my grad exams for August so I would have enough time to learn it all AND look for a job.
Great thing about social work is that you can not even look for ajob, until you have a degree earned. Pffft. I love that new law...
Anyway. Wow, I cannot believe it! Those five years ... it was so quick! :/
I dont feel ready ! xD

So these days Im only reading book about domestic violence (theme of my thesis) and curing my poor sore throat. Damn that weather change! Plus 15 degrees in two days! It's nice and sunny, warm outside and Im ill. Because I had to go to school when it was cold and windy. Ick!

What else? Hmm... everything looks fine. My dad had those health problems but it seems to be quite okay now ...mmmm.
Maybe I wrote that I got a cool stargate cap signed by Robert Picardo :)

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j140/rommie2006/ruzne/DSCF0835.jpg

And I may get some more from Christopher "Teal'c" Judge, Connor Trineer and Colin Ferguson (Eureka) ...

Anyway... Oh! That is on a diet! Right! I bought him this little piggy that yells everytime you open the fridge :))
Heh, and my mom made some yummy homemade donuts. We put them to the bowl over the night. And because I KNOW my dad, I took the piggy from the fridge and put it to the bowl with the donuts as a warning sign... Well. I woke up the next morning and I found this :

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j140/rommie2006/ruzne/DSCF0851.jpg

No worries. Piggy is on the way to the full recovery. Fears the dark though.

I made something for you too:

Ya, what a waste of time!

If anyone's interested in what I do now, Im working on my diploma work and it's shaping up nicely. The main theme settled to domestic violence.
Except that my crappy Movie Maker quit and I gotta find new softwear. But when I think about it... what is it good for?!! Idiots from Youtube blocked my best vid because of the song !!! Grrrrrrrrr It had 83 000 views and they block it!!!
*sigh*
That's better.

Now Im working again on my story, it has over 50 pages now and looks just fine. But it will take some time to finish and ... brush to a diamond LOL And before you ask, yes, it's the one where is Geoffy insired major character. I was tired of pretending it's not him so I named him Rush eventually. *copyright anyone*

Im now a Mod on website with Stargate Atlantis RPG game, so if anyone wants to stop by and take a look at my crappy character writing : http://z10.invisionfree.com/SGAThe_Lost_Season/index.php?

That's it!! I passed again! With another 'A'!!! I caaaaaaaaaaaan't believe it!!
Honestly, I expected I might 'hardly pass' or fail. But not this. But I was lucky and got the best possible question and it took a lot not to jump up and down in excitement!! XD
This is so so COOL!!! I'm over-happy.
And over-exhausted too.
LOL
I just need some sleep and it will be okay again.;)

wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowow XD XD

Okay, mm, ease down, babe ... I gave myself a gift and bought me over internet cool dress .. and one for my mom so she won't be jealous hehe :)
My father gave a gift to me and bought me a new table and wardrobe, w-o-w !! (well my current desk is my father's old desk and my current wardrobe is my parent's old wardrobe soooo ... LMAO)

Half battle won.
Yuppers, today I passed first of those 2 exams left for January. AND for some strange reason I got 'A'.:) Unbelievable!
I pray for tomorrow... Im not that well prepared for that other exam, not at all!! :/ But Im gonna give it a shot.

Except that, I hope you are all well, my beloved Rushies!!
I promised myself that if I pass all my exams and graduate on time, I will give myself a present. A trip to London or Paris. Not sure yet. But I will!! Try to stop me!!! :)

This reminds me ... I would like to try and enter a competition... it's about translating english text to czech. It has to be popular/educational text from 7-10 pages or prose - 7 to 10 pages again.
Don't you people have something in pdf or doc ???
I know Im not really good translator, but Im pretty good in czech and that's also what they consider so ... why not? :)

Please please??

Hugs!!!
