Friends Cafe - social space for members under 25

[Kazzl]

Hey! Welcome to Friends Cafe.

This is a chill and chat space for young BB members to talk about anything and everything and make new friends.

When school's getting to you, uni or work has got you down, parents, partners, friends don't understand, and especially if you're feeling alone or lonely - come and relax awhile and talk to others who know just how you feel.

Our minds can cause us trouble, but they can also be amazing things that imagine beauty, love and fun. This cafe has everything you can imagine. To start with it's, well, a cafe. So there's chairs and tables, comfy couches for flopping, a big screen tele, unlimited download on computers for games, Spotify (or an old-school jukebox if you prefer), every movie you can think of on instant demand ... whatever you want, it's here. Post and tell us what'd you'd like.

Plus, there's an infinite menu of whatever food or drinks takes your fancy. And it's all free!

To kick it off, today we have a special range of Monster Milkshakes - those thick gooey shakes topped with cronuts, chocolate bars, cake, cookies ... whatever you want. And if you can get through one of them, you're a legend (and probably feeling a little bit sick LOL!)

Welcome friends.

HI

Hi ahw,

I'm glad you're seeing both your school counsellor and GP. It's great also that you are a keen reader! I must say that I do really enjoy watching contemporary dance, especially when you can see the emotions and story behind the movements. It can be very expressive. I've mainly seen this dancing on TV talent shows and on Youtube! 😛 Performing in your school's talent quest is an awesome idea, and will be an outlet to Year 12 academic study.

I finished attending uni classes on Thurs, and yesterday I watched some lectures I didn't get to. Monday is when the break technically starts, but in my mind it starts today! 😄 I had brunch with my good friend this morning, who has been working and living interstate since January. She's lived in my city for her whole life, but moved when she got a good job at a hospital.

It's great that your first set of exams are complete, like Smith's. You two have earned yourselves some nice break time 🙂

Hope you're enjoying the weekend 😄

Best wishes,

SM

Hi SM! I guess I am also quite glad I am seeing my counsellor and GP, because it took me a very long time to decide to see them and find the courage to do so 🙂 One of the reasons I like contemporary dance best is definitely the expressiveness and story telling abilty. Since the movements don't really have restrictions I think it's the best style of dance to express emotions and stories! I totally agree that your break started yesterday haha and I hope the brunch was nice! It would've been nice to see that friend. You must be quite closing having lived in the same city for so long. Hope you are enjoying the weekend too!

Also Becka, I haven't talked to you yet so hi! How have you been? I hope you are also having a good weekend!

And Grace, I know I don't know you that well yet, but I haven't seen you for a few days so I hope you are going ok and enjoying the weekend/start of the holidays 🙂

Hi guys! As it's getting cooler I thought you might like a chiminea or fire pit to sit around on the patio outside. I know the young people in my family like them. So, there y'go, all installed, comfy outdoor chairs around it, ready for cooler evenings. 😃

Hope you're all well and good. I just want to mention too there's been a few new young members join and I've mentioned the cafe. In particular, you might keep an eye out for a lovely person called bc999.

Cheers!

I think this is an excellent idea Kaz, good on you for taking the initiative to set something so nice up for us all and thank you so much. I just wanted to say hello to everyone and that I'm honored to meet you all. I look forward to getting to know everyone. 🙂

Best wishes,

Hi SM,

Thank you so much for welcoming me. You're so lovely. How about some Cassandra Clare books like the Mortal Instruments series or the infernal devices series? I found them to be a lovely read, She's by far my favourite author. I have a slightly different request, I was wondering in this lovely cafe of ours if we could have an animal for all of us to show our love and care to? Maybe a bird, or a dog, something nice we can all share, that's safe to have in the cafe of course. We'd have to train it.

Best wishes

Hey dear ahw309!!

I think you are very brave, I know joining here is not a easy thing to do, and it's wonderful to know you are a reader too! I definitely read John Green, and I've heard of Virginia Woolf but I don't think I've read any of her books before 🙂 I know book thief was made into a movie last year and I've only watched the trailer but it does seem fascinating! :3 Sorry I haven't been around in the past few days! I am alright now, had a really long sleep today and also napped just now, since the past few days have been pretty hectic haha, Friday I moved out of my boarding house as school holidays started, and Sat I've been out and yesterday I have been working! 😛 Thank you for your lovely messages I do enjoy reading them, and very nice to hear about your interests 😛 Glad to hear you go to a school counsellor, I go to our school counsellor as well, she is usually busy but can always make some time 🙂 And I'm glad the GP helped!! Yes a good GP can be soo helpful! And seeing you taking all these moves are great, you really are making a change, that is great!

And I see your hobby is dancing, we should probably make space here in the cafe in case you ever want to show off your amazing skills one day haha, we have an old jukebox here as well as spotify, so pick any music genre you like and we'll play it real loud for you to dance! Of course no pressure, don't have to dance, but if you do I'll try to join you haha!

Anyways, how have you been for the past few days, how did the half yearlies go? Thinking of you!! Thank you for your concerns and take good care of yourself too dear!!!

With Love,

Grace xx

Hey dear Becka!!

Sorry I haven't responded in the past few days as well, hope you have been well!

Hmm talking about food... I like all sorts of food! I especially like anything sweet, so sometimes when having a meal the part I most look forward to is the desserts 😛 And I like Chinese and Thai food as well, or Japanese food--Ramen and sushi are definitely my favourites!! What kinds of food do you like Becka?

It's ok that you are not a reader but yes it's definitely interesting to pick of bits and pieces every now and then, so do you have any other hobbies like watching TV shows, movies, or doing sports or listening to music? 🙂 Hope I will get to know you soon!! You seem so sweet Becka 🙂

Take care of yourself, thinking of you!!

With Love,

Grace xx
