This morning I dressed in my new trousers, extra bought for the readings Iām now not doing.
And my best Linkin Park Shirt with my Mike Shinoda hoody all reserved for special days. The hoody I actually did wore last Easter, thatās were my profile pic is from.
Standing in the garden of my mother, the garden pic I also have up.
Yeah, that is the place, I would be without this current events. 680 km further south, the big family Easter party.
The event, my grandmother decided, itās worth to hold up that long.
And now, she is in total isolation, closed off from the world and all people.
We talk every day on the phone. The last days, she was so unhappy, started crying nearly every time.
Then yesterday morning, she didnāt pic up.
I got so nervous.
But in the afternoon, I reached her, she was outside!
They were allowed at this day for one hour out in the garden, paired up in two, no relatives allowed at the fences.
She already had told me about this, but also, that she was to weak to go.
But she did, with her rolla and a lot of breaks. And she sounded so much better, even happy!
Then yesterday night at 10 my daughter asked for the family recipe for Easter egg sauce and after, what I would do today.
I said nothing, besides dropping of my son on their Easter family barbecue. And suddenly, she asked if I want to join.
So, now I have plans for today!
A wonderful day to you all!!!
Thank you for being here!
No tags, you all know it!
Just came here to wish everyone a Happy Easter! Regardless of the circumstances, I do hope you and your family have managed to find some joy and peace today. Eats lots of chocolate! You all earned it!
I know @the_termin8r doesnāt come on this thread often unless tagged, but this goes to you to!
Oh wow, Happy Easter I guess? Didnāt realise itās today till I read your comments. Hope youāre all having a good one at home.
I finished my assignment today, wonāt turn it in till late tomorrow just so I have some time to have another quick look, just in case. Had lots of coffee today, debating if I should another one now. Listening to some music for now (Cold in Berlinās Rituals of Surrender playing now) and will probably play some piano and/or guitar later.
I just posted in the āTag! youāre itā thread and I had a story that I felt was a little bit too elaborate to go into there so I decided to take it here
What you should know first of all I guess is that I use a few dating apps but I almost never get matches. Literally like 2 a year if Iām lucky. A bit over a week ago I got a match and tried to strike up a conversation but it wasnāt going very well, she was pretty short in her responses and wouldnāt really ask me anything back. So I decided āeh, never mind thenā so I stopped responding. The next day she did send me her phone number but I figured like, if Iāve already given up on talking to her then thereās no reason to add her.
Then today after a week of silence she suddenly spoke to me again, just something about her sending me the phone number because she wasnāt always active on the app. I responded with a polite sorry for my not responding, I just felt like we werenāt really getting a conversation going and I donāt know how to improve that. And then instead of being like āoh okay bye thenā as I expected, she talked more actively. So we struck up a bit of a conversation again.
Then she asked me if I wanted to do a video chat, and I said Iām not a big fan of those, but if you want we could meet in a nearby park (she lives in the same town as I do, moved here from Turkey about a month ago). So she agreed and we met in the park (keeping some distance the whole time, of course ). She was very timid so it was a bit hard to keep a conversation going sometimes (also her English is kinda broken ._.), but overall it was nice, I enjoyed it at least so I hope she did too. Interesting how it turned around from nothing to meeting up, at the very least. I donāt expect it to go a lot of places but at least Iām interested to keep talking and see if we have something in common to continue with. I was trying more to connect on a conversation level rather than finding specific things we both like, so I should try to get into that a bit more.
Happy easter everyone!
I made these for todayā:rabbit2:
We also made easter nests by ourselves, as always, itās kind of our traditionā:joy:usually my grandma helps(sheās the one that learned us to do these), but unfortunately itās not possible atmā¦ but they still turned out good ->years of trainingā:grin:
@anna834 the flowers your grandma sent you look beautiful!and good to hear sheās alright now! Itās hard to not have the big family party, something everyone was looking forward to, but we have to make the best out of it. My grandma brought as a basket full of things too, and a letter i really like, itās about what is NOT cancelled in this time, like:
Spring isnāt cancelled
Sun isnāt cancelled
Love isnāt cancelled
Smiling isnāt cancelled
Dreaming isnāt cancelled
Hope isnāt cancelled
ā¦
Love this time - thank you for these pictures dear - I think heās a casanova
they loook delicious - Did they taste as good as they looked?
Yeah, āsportingā is good in these times
Oh yes, youāve that
itās difficult, but I like Thor, Ironman & Hulk more than Captain America for example
welcome here rory congrats becoming an aunt. Youāve got a beautiful niece
but we want you in that t-rex costume
you deserve this 3 days off dear
thatās good, bc the recipes are with black and red beans + peas
so many good childhood memories - I think I should play my old pokemon games again for the 2145565332 time
by the way: itās impressive that you find energy to sort old things - maybe you can send me this energy too?
just interested: Are you that kinda person, like me, that watches a series for the 2143434 rerun before you start with a new one?
be proud of that what youāve accomplished so share, if you want - Yeah, gonna to the runs and walks next week again, so I get even fitter
How was your easter dear?
hi there dear I wish the best, that the lockdown will be end soon!
sending you strength and positivity - hang in there! YOU CAN DO IT!
also that music thing: THIS SONG IS MY #2 from Limp Bizkit . Maybe weāre that āfar away twinsā
take your time - I think it will be awesome again
right here sorry for yesterday but you saw my pictures of pizza and beer and music and our exchange from Sum 41 songs
Whoās this little cutie one?
happy easter to you dear - where do you found this picture? Itās hilarious
Some squishies for you
finally I got time I know itās very late but hopefully the WEP below is good. Iām very positive these days, found my energy for uni stuff and more stuff again and just feeling so good. Hopefully your easter is/was quiet good as mine
back to you dear, so good to read from you
and you too How are you doing? Wishing you a Happy easter too
This is almost the same that Iāve got yesterday also just great that youāre back in here
I hope you had an awesome easter too - Yeah, ābeat these assignmentsā. I love that feeling when you have achieved your daily goal and can be proud of your work. It is so immensely important to reward yourself - so enjoy it. You deserve it dear
Itās the first step that you made - I know these apps, Iāve used them a long time ago but Iām sick of this shit. I would like to go on a date again, but Corona doesnāt allow it at the moment and so itās hard to meet someone in āreal lifeā now. To get to know one new is the best, when youāre in a Pub or a bar for example. So youāve got a good chance that she likes the same music as you for example, thatās important for me . But wishing you the best dude.
so we start with a quite old wallpaper - and no doubt, that evil looking from Rob kills me
and becaus itās easter, hereās a extra one, which Iāve got also as a poster:
Dave or Rob?
these corkona times are so disturbing - and for me THIS SCREAM/HIS SCREAM is still one of these few things, that gives me strength when Iām feeling lonely, weak or just sad. So may the scream also get you positive thing, which it also does for me
I found it very hard to find 2 perfect songs for easter and also for this time, but I think these two are perfect at the moment:
these lyrics are speaking for their selfs - NO ONE AROUND HERE IS ALONE! So if YOUāve got something, which must get rid of your chest, share your thoughts! ItĆs the best thing, what you can do No one is alone in the #LPFamilyand if you need a friend thereās a seat here alongside me + LOVE KEEPS US KIND!
and for a little bit happy and funny at the end:
I know it was his Halloween costume, but itās easter time and heās that funny pink easter bunny
OT: just ate so much food today too ( just love these cheatweekends)
the barbecue was soooooo good so Iām not hungry anymore and will do my runnings and walks till the upcoming cheatweekend.
Also I listen to my special Linkin Park playlist and gonna watch King of Queens later for the 135465894 time I guess
Stay safe and healthy everyone - much love, many squishies and and just the best wishes to you all - keep your heads and chins up #LPFamily
Thanks, I donāt celebrate Easter though And technically Easter is this coming weekend for me, but still, wonāt be doing anything.
Yeah itās good, now I need to move on to the next assignment. You start your classes next week right?
OT: Morning everyone! Itās very windy and kind of cold here today, funny how the weather changes, it was 25 degrees yesterday and itās dropped to 10 today. Iāll start work on my next assignment today, slowly at least, I feel like I need a day to just chill and do nothing.
The good news is that I finally received one of my vinyl orders! It was shipped 2,5 weeks ago, Iām so glad itās here! I hope the rest will start to arrive soon too.
good morning family one more free easter day here in Germany- but it doesnāt make a difference for me in these āholidaysā ( sounds nicer than lockdown ), and itās really the second week of easter holidays here in my country. However, itās free time ā¦ and thatās still a benefit for me
Hope you all have a good Monday, do whatever feels good, Strength and power to you all out there - itās so wonderful to have you guys here to talk to -
@HakManLP you sound perfectly fine thanx for all your good wishes and ofc for the WEP - it was just in time and as always just great input ā¦ and I go for Rob too
@AJ_7 thank youuu how nice you show up always a pleasure to find your posts stay safe
@evowarrior5 WB what a niiiice story good luck and enjoy the experience , so nice you share this here with us - Keeping my fingers crossed that you keep the conversation going
@linkineli awww - your easter lambs are looking delicious ā¦ also thanx for the flowers
@anna834 sooo sweet from your granny and I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday
@evooba sounds good, grats for finishing the assignment Good flow chilling you deserve it
Lol @LP13413ā¦ what a poser - but sooo beautiful cute same timeā¦
This next assignment is giving me (and everyone else in my class) a bloody hard time. It is much harder than expected and it is not exactly clear what they want us to write about and how to present it. Weāve emailed the lecturer and we hope to hear back soon with more insights.
I didnāt do much else today, been a pretty lazy day. I did bake some naan bread though, not sure why, I just felt like baking something
In other news, I had an email come through earlier this evening from the director of our company about a meeting weāre having on Wednesday so I spoke with my manager a bit about it, to see if he knows anything more. We also decided to go in to work on Friday and do some stuff there, should be interesting, he did mention he has a lot to tell me. Itās another reason for me to go out too so why not!
Itās nearly midnight.
Was busy the whole day, but still want to check in here before I crash out.
@evowarrior5 happy you came here. I find your story very inspiring! Thanks! And all fingers crossed!
To you all:
I know, I said it before, but I am so greatfull for this place and you all in it! You are my home!
I feel it especially strong, when I did some adventures on stranger grounds. Here, I am rooted!
Thank you for that! Love to you!!!
Good morning family.
A quick visit. Easter is over and back to work.
So itās busy again. Strange timesā¦
Hey buddy! I found it on Google. Easy one to find.
How are you? Did you do something with Easter?
Please keep it that way. Im positive to the last weeks and i can see it ad myself that im doing better. Even some of my coworkers told me, that i smile more and that im better. A coworker told me that i was a little flower in the beginning and that im now a hugh flower that shines and is strong enough to grow without help. It was a great compliment to get
I hope that the call with family made it a litle better
Oh wauw, they are beautiful. Very lovely. How did they tast? how long did it take to finish it?
How are today love?
Those pictures where nice. And youāve got a nice tattoo awesome! Ask him for the pictures, or did you already got them?
Oh yeah Pokemon!! Gotta catch them all!
When i was young i played pokemon yellow and red on the Gameboy. It was the greatest game.
i read it and i hear Chester singing it in my head.
Yeah he is awesome. I watched Venom a couple of months ago. He was so good in that movie. I like the aquarium scene. just sits in it and eats a lobster
Oh wauw. That nice.
I would love to. Just the quarantine time wonāt help much when all of this is over i will check on it and make it happend to go and visit one.
When it comes to animals and nature im very protect.
In the beginning, when Mike started, i thought exactly the same. But now i take my laptop and stuff and work with him. I kind of see it as a teaching experience. He sometimes tells what he is doing and how he does it. Iām always interested in how the sounds are made. So this is for me a good way to learn. And yeah sometimes i donāt watch it to anymore. 1,5 hours watching someone, itās pretty long. I check in on the livestream watch if for a couple of minutes and then clean the housse and in the meanwhile hear Mike in the background.
Love and bonecrusher back
Not for me. still got to go to work.
I only celebrate first Easter day.
Im currently home. I have a evening/night shift today. Im gonna eat my ālateā breakfast. Finally i had a day to sleep out. im getting old.
We love you to and im very happy with this community. I hope they never take it away from us. i love to be here and not to feel alone. My loneliness is going better. Feel less and less lonely but it depends on the day and my mood about how i feel. But it is good to have this community
Itās been the third time to me to write this postā¦
Donāt even ask. Itās Day 34 I guess. Iām going slightly mad. Soon Iāll put a bunch of bananas on my head.
Iām happy that this weird Easter is over. In fact I had no Easter at all but I mean I couldnāt go anywhere because even shops were closed.
Iām not really fine but I donāt like to interfere with all the good vibes and positivity in here to talk about it.
Iād better think of a new forum game to entertain you and myself.
Oh sad to hear that things are not going good. If you want, but thatās up to you, if you want to talk about ,we will be there for you. We all have our ups and downs. I had a very down moment just a couple of weeks ago. But , this maybe sounds crazy, but never stop believing. Believe you can make it and believe that there will be good times. The facking virus is infecting everyone global and thatās fucked. Again im happy i still work. I canāt imagine how you all feel right now, beeing quarantine for facking 34 days! Holy shit. Thatās a lot. More then a month. What Iām trying to say isā¦ donāt give up. Show us your weakness so we can help you. That is what family does. Helping each other
Thanks! I have the photos, canāt upload them though cause both me and my flatmate are in them.
It is week 4 over here, still feels weird.
OT: Slow morning over here, kind of hoped Iād get more of my vinyls in the mail today but nope. Iām glad our usual postie is back though and it appears that service is somewhat going back to normal (aka getting mail every day instead of once every 2 weeks).
Lots of coffee for now and trying to work on the assignment, might do a few skype calls later this afternoon to catch up with family and friends.
Just wanted to start out with ā¦ Today is the day!!
Will be doing it this afternoon so hopefully we get a few photos!
(Iām betting there will be at least a few)
Just checking in this morning, today is a bit more busy than usual, we had 3 people take a leave of absence until this is all over, so means about the same amount of work but with less people
Thanks for your care.
Itās not even about my work which I donāt really like (not the tasks Iām expected to do but the atmosphere around).
Even if Iām a bit afraid that I may lose this job, I realise that to lose this job means a chance to get a better one.
Staying at home makes me think too much and these thought are not really nice. Itās not like that they revolve only around my corona-related hopelessness but also (or even especially) - for example - around a family conflict I am part of.
Off course, there are ups and downs, as you said. And now Iām preparing myself to bounce off the bottom part of this sinusoid.
Just like this:
all reserved for special days. The hoody I actually did wore last Easter, thatās were my profile pic is from. 
- I think heās a casanova 
And technically Easter is this coming weekend for me, but still, wonāt be doing anything.
), and itās really the second week of easter holidays here in my country. However, itās free time 
Rob too 
that you keep the conversation going 
Good flow chilling 
you deserve it 
( still
