Definitely feeling something. Doesn't feel like butterflies. I'm not sure where that came from. Feels more like a Flick, Flick, Flick against my insides. Almost like a pulse? But not fast enough to be a heartbeat...

Anyway, there's your pregnancy update.

The weirdness going around didn't skip over me. I just attributed it to what I'm going through. Now I've read online I realize that others have been feeling it, too? Bizarre. Any ideas what's going on?

Thank God we'll be on vacation soon. I cannot wait to go poking around in Alaska.

I'll need a project to keep me warm, and the last of my commissions was delivered today, except for Thor's sweater, which I'm almost finished with.

So who needs something crocheted? I do everything from baby booties to doilies and any size as well. Pricing is flexible, and I'll work on any project you want.

Strewth! I've never been the best with computers, honestly. But a right good bloke I met at the corner bar the other day suggested I hop on here and get to know my new neighbours, and it seemed a good idea as any. Good way to pass the time, anyway, yeah? So, anyway, name's John, and I'm a bit new round here.

Christ Almighty you Californians deal with quite the climate, don't you? Gotta say, might take some getting used to. All this sunshine and cloudless sky is a bit different than my usual stomping grounds in England. Rent on flats is a bit on the higher side, too. But I guess there's no proper getting around that, huh?

Is it just me or is relearning to do something almost harder than learning to do it in the first place? Since I got the okay to stop wearing the sling, I've been at the gym three times a week working on my upper body strength and it feels like my arm is useless, but I know I've just got to keep working on it. I mean, I haven't been able to do anything with my right arm for almost three months. I'm not expecting to be able to do handstands and flips and things right off the bat. It's only been two weeks that I've had use of my arm, so I know it'll take some time.

Question though, has anyone else just known how to fight because of their dreams? I was with Barbara the other day and someone tried stealing my bag and I pretty much took him down without even thinking about it. I've never hit anyone in my entire life and I wound up incapacitating this guy. Am I the only one or has this happened to anyone else?

Okay, someone needs to tell the Northwood guys that soccer is not a collision sport. Everytime we play them, I end up getting injured. It was the knee last time, the ankle the game before that and now I have half a shin less than I started with this morning. It's going to get to the point where the ER nurses expect me whenever Creekside play Northwood. I thought the point of playing friendlies was that you didn't have to win at all costs - costs like flooring the other team's striker and leaving him in a pool of his own blood.

I like closing the shop by myself, in all honesty. I just put my headphones on and go through the closing procedures. With no one to bother me, I can get things done in record time. This is going to be an awesome weekend!

Not that I don't miss having Fred and George around. I hope they're having fun on the camping trip!

But yes. For now it's just me, my headphones, and counting cash. Then home for ice cream and Johnny Depp.

MOVING THIS WEEKEND.

Everyone who volunteered? Wants to help lift heavy things (and not-so-heavy-things) in exchange for fresh pastries, beer, pizza and my undying love...??

PM me for details if you're serious about helping. I'm absolutely serious about free food and drink to whoever comes to help! I've got a whole apartment to move, and Nina and I only have four hands between us! <3

Hullo, all. I just got invited to this network. I'm Sebastian Vael; I'm from Scotland, over in the States working for my father's company. My father is a Scottish peer, but I hope you lot will at least get to know me before writing me off as a complete posh idiot. I'm only half of one, you see. Hehe.

Ever have one of those moments where things just pile on top of one another until you kind of feel like you're drowning in minutia? I'm having one of those lives, I think.

I'm going to hide in bed. Anyone who wants to shirk adult responsibilities can come with me. We can read under the covers by flashlight.

Does anyone else get just exhausted whenever people ask where you're from? I mean, sure, I've got an accent. But isn't it quite obvious I've come from Scotland?

I think all Brits that move to America must be troubled with this too. I feel it's the very first thing I get from people: "Are you from Scotland?" Bloody hell, of course I am. How else would I have gotten the accent? Not exactly the prettiest one, I'd say, so why would anyone just try and learn it?

If the question's just meant to make small talk, it's bad. Small talk is probably evil.

Suppose I've just heard the question so much that I've started to get annoyed.

...And I suppose that introduces me quite nicely. I'm Elissa Cousland, and I'm from Scotland. Where are you from?

For as long as I live I will never forget this match. )

Reminds me of the early days with the lads down the green. Dinnae matter how cold or dark it got you dinnae leave the pitch until the match was set. Playing in the ice slag, using drifts to your advantage even as you would tug a jersey. Bloody brilliant. Playing in the rain donnae even come close.

I envy those lads in Colorado. Snow coming down sideways and I bet nae a one of them ever felt the cold for the passion in their hearts.

I quit stripping and got a new job.

Part of me is sad - I'll miss the girls, I'll miss the hours - but the rest of me is pretty optimistic. And I got a job at the tea shop just down the street from where I used to work, so I can even still park in the same place.

It was just time for a change. And I didn't want to keep fibbing to Gracie.

I'm so exhausted. Maybe it was my dreams last night. Dreamed about quidditch, and the kids at school playing it. I was never much into it in the dreams, as my dad played, so I wasn't really into it. But man, flying around on broomsticks would be really awesome, wouldn't it?

Well, when I'm feeling better. I'm just so tired. Hopefully I'm not fighting off a bug. Or, if I am, I have to be better by April First. I've got a Birthday Party to help plan. Strippers and booze are already ordered, thanks to the magic of the internet.

Can't wait to go home from work so I can curl up on my sofa with a pint of Ben and Jerry's.

I got a letter in the mail today from the state of California, and I'm not too proud to admit I wept when I read it. It was about Gracie, obviously, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. This little girl has made a difference in my life I can't even put into words. I was just overcome. I think many would be.

I know some of you expressed interest in news, so here it is.

As soon as the papers can be signed downtown Los Angeles? I have a daughter. And Grace has a father.

I'm so lucky I didn't see my boss this morning. He's got eyes that remind me of like, my dad knowing I went out and got trashed. They make the hangover worse. He'd look at me and I'd like, throw myself on his mercy for being an idiot. Even though last night was really fun, and my beads are now wound around the base of my desk lamp.

What's the hangover cure again? Eggs with horseradish? Eggs with something.

You Yanks have Mardi Gras. We Brits have Pancake Tuesday. Now ask yourselves: which would you rather be celebrating?

If the answer is Pancake Tuesday then - not only are you correct - you should stop by the estate. In the spirit of the celebration I'm making heaps of proper pancakes sun up to sundown. They'll be up for grabs in the cul-de-sac, plenty of lemons and sugar to go round! And if you yanks are confused yet, allow me to clarify: these are pancakes, not to be confused with flapjacks, crepes or whatever this rubbish is.

Oh, and Alice, love, if you have time today, I've set aside a mound of cakes for that shelter you volunteer at. Mind dropping them round?

I'm tired of being a responsible adult. Running the shop for ten hours a day is rough. I'm really pleased the breed I cultivated is selling well, but I'd probably do anything for more than one day a week off.

I don't think I have the self-discipline to be self-employed. I'm tempted to go easy on myself.

Is it at all possible to get a real cup of tea anywhere? I swear, I've been here two years and I've yet to find a place in all of California that can do a decent cup of real, English tea. All of them steep it too long, or not long enough, and it never tastes the same as the stuff we get across the pond.

I may start having it imported, at this rate.

Hi there. My name is Audrey, and I own and run Baxter Bakery. I've been told this is a good place to meet and talk to people. Having a little bit of trouble sleeping tonight, so I thought I'd pop on.

...but now I'm here... what am I supposed to do? Just... talk about my day?

Does anyone else start thinking "if I fall asleep RIGHT NOW, I can conceivably have X hours of sleep." and then just watch the number X go down the longer you stay awake? That's what I'm going through right now.

Anyway, hi.

I can't wait until spring. It feels like soccer is just around the corner. I'm impatient for the season to start up again. Volleyball and basketball just aren't doing it for me.

At least I can look forward to the Superbowl in two weeks. That's always an exciting event. Tons of bad food and great sports. Oh, and I guess the ads are pretty cool, too.

On another note, does anyone on this network go to UC: Irvine? I've got some textbooks from last year's electives that I want to sell.

Ma jolie and me just got back from Mexico, day or so after the cure apparently got found. I'm damn glad for everyone that things is getting back to normal, but I'mma suggest to the network what I had suggested to me.

If you been in l'hopital for a good long while, and you got a significant other? Have sex. Seriously. Ain't much that makes you feel more alive than good sex. Plus, if you been in hospital for three weeks, it's been too damn long for most people.

I'm in so much pain. Now that the gym is open again, my dad had me up before the crack of dawn to make up for the training I missed out on during the flu outbreak. I've been training for the last fourteen hours, almost, non-stop. I just spent the last half hour soaking in an ice bath and it made no difference. Even my coach thought my dad was pushing me too hard and he's one of those Russian coaches who usually don't know what too much is. I just wish this would end. I don't want to quit gymnastics, but I don't want to be forced to train this hard. It's not fun anymore.

Did anyone else watch the sporting events this weekend? My eyeballs have been glued to the telly since Celtic's match yesterday against Midlothian. 4-1 win, in case you missed it, leaving Celtic +9 over Inverness in the league. Love to see the lads on top, even if it's without me.

Thanks to Thor, however, I've gotten more than a little invested in American Football. Nae that bad, if I'm honest, though it's no proper football for sure.

I watched both division final matches today and caught glimpses of a few hockey derbies during the adverts, as well. That's one thing I sorely miss about the BBC; just think about how short an American Football match would be without the breaks.

In any case, I'm thrilled over the 49ers win. Mate of mine back home is a right die hard so I cannae very well support against them. Though, my head nurse is apparently a Greenbay supporter and threatened to cut my meds if I rubbed last week's match in her face again. That's alright because there is plenty other material to rib her over.

Pity about New England's match, though... Sort of fancied a Brady-Kaepernick face off. Instead it will be duelling head coaches. As I understand it last year's Super Bowl boasted the same feat - competing brothers. Let's hope it's a fair fight.
