Chris Marquette Message Board

Hope you recover well, Mel. I had all 4 out only a few months ago. Swollen and bruised, but all in all not too bad. But the pain killers they prescribed me were fantastic. I only took about half of what they told me to though. They were strong enough like that! Hope the swelling doesnt last too long, and you dont end up with a thumb shaped bruise on your chin like me.... Get well soon

Very intersting article Deb, and its true. You cant just choose to ignore what your customer wants. That just ends with the customer going elsewhere...

I have seriously never felt THIS excited about a movie....

Deb, you dont ever want to break down in Australia then. $150 to fix your breaks here would be CHEAP! I had my car serviced, with brakes fixed and it cost me like $500. And the service was nothing special. Its just like a once over, oil change, spark plugs type stuff. But if it keeps my baby running, had to do it.

I am not sure if I say "Tomorrow series" if anyone on this board will have a clue what I am talking about. But say that in Australia and everyone knows the books. If you havent read them I would recommend finding them. John Marsden is the author and WOW. I have met him twice and spoken with him and I am just in awe. His books changed my teenaged years. Anyway, they have made his first book of the Tomorrow series "Tomorrow when the war began" into a movie. I actually starting tearing up when I heard I was so excited.

The story is basically these highschool kids go on a camping trip just before they go back to school. They come home and everywhere is deserted. No family, no friends, not even strangers. While they were camping the country has been invaded (they never say by who in the books, so I'm curious how they will show this in the movie) anyway its their story as they attempt to survive.

I have never NEVER cried so much over ANY movie or book as I did over this series. Just WOW. I am a little nervous that the movie wont be as good as I am expecting...but there is no way I will miss this. I have been waiting for this for the last decade.

The trailer is out!!!

Though I feel like crying....so far the release date is Septemeber 2nd, but only lists Australia and New Zealand. I was hoping against hope that I would be able to see this movie in the cinemas, but unless it gets a later release outside of Australia I wont be back in time to catch it at the cinemas.

Hahaha I had a giggle to myself. Its good to see so many actors still have a sense of humour I love anyone that can make fun of themselves.

Oh NO!!! Cant the world just cure sickness already Sorry to hear that. Thats really sad. Young lives lost are so terrible

Ha! Cant make things too easy for me There is SO much that I want to do but only so much that time and money I can afford.

That would be brilliant Mel. Should be such a good gathering!

I still have a fair bit of leeway in my travels. I am trying to not have anything set in stone. I like to have a framework and solid IDEA of what I want to do. But Cologne was one of those places that I wanted to see if I had time but unsure if I could fit it in. I actually have a friend originally from Melbourne living in Bremen at the moment that I wanted to visit but because I told him the rough timing would be around Christmas this year, that was also the time that he was planning on travelling. Its still 9 months away right now. I would love the opportunity to travel the world catching up with Dorquettes though! I will have my laptop with me throughout my travels so I will no doubt be keeping everyone posted.

For those of you that were around the message board a few months ago you may remember my rambles about visiting the US. Well its really happening. I applied and have a placement at a Girl Scout Camp in Wisconsin. I will be there 3 months from May 16 till Aug 17. After that so far the plan/want to do is Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Savannah, Louiville, Memphis, Nashville, Miami, New Orleans, Dallas, Austin, Phoenix, San Diego, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle. From there its heading north into Canada. Vancouver, Jasper, Winnipeg, Toronto, Niagra Falls, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. After which I will fly into Europe. London, Bath, Oxford, Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Inverness, Glasgow, Dublin, Blarney, Belfast, Kilkenny, Cardiff, Bruges, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Munich, Zurich, Lucerne, Venice, Verona, Florence, Tuscany, Rome, Pisa, Nice, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, Casablanca, Bordeaux, Paris.

HAHAHA If you couldn't tell this is going to be a massively expensive and long trip and I am SO excited to begin in 2 months time! I plan to be finished by Feb 20 next year. I may have to miss some of the places that I have listed but this is the ultimate list which I am going to try and do and see everything. I also plan to be visiting both Deb and Moon while in Atlanta, and Breeza in California. I would LOVE to visit more of you if I have the chance  TeeJay and Samsy where abouts in Germany are you from???

I would also appreciate any tips or comments about the places I plan to visit. Something I have overlooked or something that is overrated. I am so excited right now. Almost wanting to go home and pack, but that's just silly 2 months out.

NAWWWWWWWW I love the ewok dog!! Hahaha I have a dog like that and was very close to calling him Ewok, but I didnt want to be quite that much of a geek.
