Take me off the market

2 October Pyro - ...Well, I told a lie. It did ORIGINALLY look a lot like Frank, but I had to change it because the placement of the symbols was all messy when the post was "published". Murrr, I still hate my name. When I was a kid, I desperately wanted to be called Sarah or Isabella. It was rather funny. Gagh, organisation angst. This is why I'm always in two minds about planning things that involve a group of people turning up. At least you made a reconciliatory gesture ^_^ Go Mimmi! It's great to know that you have such supportive people around you, and it's even better to know that you're thinking of taking hold of more opportunities. I guess the only thing I can say is to try and keep everything moving steadily, and remember to leave time for yourself to unwind. You're a very capable person. Actually, computers ARE said to have both "male" and "female" ports/features and such. When I picked up a booklet at this digital arts-related place I went to last year, there was some talk in it of gendering computers. *hacks off a nearby bloke's leg and throws it in your direction* Sorry - couldn't resist. … I just realized that our county’s flower is Heather! .... Ok, enough about how I like your name, lol. It’d be cool to learn more about that male/female aspect of computers, though :o You know, for being in what is a very chaotic time in my life, I’m doing pretty ok Whereas before, when things were stable, I’d get rocked very easily. Does life ever make sense? Lol *nibbles on the Man Flesh* Mmmmm, thanks =D Rustym - Good luck with your job situation. Thank you ^_^ It’ll work out, somehow, some way. C’est la vie, and all that jazz 8-) Pyro - Steve Coogan? Entertaining comparison. Solo reminds my dad of Jesus. *laughs* Haha, I can see why the Jesus comparison comes up (with the beard and semi-long hair). The Steve Coogan thought came from buying a movie in which he starred and spotting similarities with Solo. Some of it were facial expressions/ physical gestures (ie his performance), but mostly I just saw things in him that reminded me of Solo. Coogan has this sweet charisma that’s spiked with subtle cheekyness *pauses* and this could be dragged on forever, heh. Another guy that reminds me of Solo is the one in “Relic Hunters”. Nigel, is it? Solo - Steve Coogan? o_O; Jesus? They're two comparisons I'd never have expected, haha. Mind you, I guess I'd be flattering myself if I thought Hugh Jackman or Matthew Broderick (which I often do)[/self-glorification]. I'm a holy comedian! *squishyhugs Mimmi* ^_^ You've all the right to keep flattering yourself *smiles* The only thing I’d strip off of you is your clothes, nothing else *angelically mischievous wink* Sorry, I'm out of line. Again. You do bare a resemblance with Hugh Jackman *nods* Annie - Walrus! :3F >:3F@ Oh how I miss thee, Walrus and Mistress of Walrusses! Liam - Manic Street Preacher: Australia? Hmm, I must investigate. To the maths mobile! -Wait...something went wrong here.. Ooops, forgot an S after Preacher. Manic Street Preachers. But yes, “Australia” is wonderfully uplifting. Much like you ^_^ John - Eeeeww, oysters. :X Don’t think of the mollusc oyster. Think of the oysters in “Alice in Wonderland” =D Sarah - Hi Mimmi ::kisskisskiss:: You sex goddess! Finally I can access your journal and feel part of your life :3 6 October Annie - Yay! *snuggles while shaking a fist at the internet* Oh, I have a picture of Pikachu[s] that I am going to send you via PM on the OB. You're going to go crazy when you see it. It's so adorable! Made me think of you and Jeh ^~^ *shamed shuffle of feet* I forgot my password at OB and couldn’t get it sent to my mail so I’ve yet to see the Pikachu[s]!!!!!!!!! That’s the first thing I’ll do after posting this =D Pyro - *attempts to induce Mimmi's net to work by offering it biscuits* Looks like my net was incredibly picky or very indulgant. Either way, it’s working now! HC - 99% of my internet time is supposed work time ;) Ooooo, way to work it. So to speak :p Shin - If I were working, and I had a computer at work, I'd so use it to evade work. ... Not that I don't do that now, but you know. >_> *giggles* Keep on swimming, you’ll reach a study-free shore one of these days *hugs* John - Ill-gotten internet is the only internet. That has been made very apparent to me now -.-;;;; Pyro - Youch - dramatic it dost sound. Hopefully once you get to the other side things will improve. Don't worry about me ^_^ Ok, I won’t worry but I’ll care twice as much! *hugs* Badness - I HEART THE MIMMI. I HEART THE BADNESS! 10 October Shin - Yes, you spelled 'shoe' correctly. :) I always forget how to spell 'rhythm'... that is a really confusing word to me for some reason. There are a couple of words that are really simple that always gets to me. Can’t remember them now, though, of course. Rhythm qualifies as a sneaky word, absolutely *nods sagely* Annie - Yeah, I can't ever spell 'rhythm' right. (only spelt it right because Shin did...hopefully) Well, we all wait anxiously for your return ^_^ That way, we can play Literati. =D I love playing dirty with you ..... In a very innocent way 0:-) John - Oof, I know right where you are on your internet situation. All I have at home is crappy wireless that I have to sit outside just to get access to, and at school I can visit myOs, but not comments, lol. That’s just wrong *shakes head* We want it to work the way we want it to, whenever we want to and however --- that speech could go on for a long time and would only be a repeat of a single idea, so I’ll stop now and make a face =| Liam - Excellent, the dream-machine working perfectly, gloyven! ^_~ Can you send some more my way, by any chance? *begs nicely* Rustym - Yep, "shoe" is correct. I remember a friend once asked me how to spell "the". Wow O.o Guess I don’t got it so bad, then XD Panda - ::glomps:: I too fear writing without a dictionary since some words just don't look right even when spelled correctly. Love you much Mimmi! Panda!!! Seems like I’ve seen Pandas everywhere lately, that’s how much you’ve been missed :-* Your writing doesn’t tell on you for the dictionary-clinging, that’s for sure. It only tells that you’re an excellent writer ^__^ Evil - I hate when I second guess myself on how words are spelt >_> Drives me mental. Aww *huggles* We miss you. Hope your internet works again soon ^__^ We'll hold down the fort till things are in tip top shape again. And it’s usually the every-day words, too! Rawr. *looks around* The fort looks mighty clean and sparkly, thanks very much ^__^ *hugs* Solo’s Interview Questions and My Answers: 1. If someone were to come to your door asking for help, what would your initial response be? “Please, let me be able to help .... or get them in touch with someone who will be able to.” 2. Hypothetically, if all of your posessions could be put into one shop, which would be the first one you'd buy and why? Wow, difficult one .... It’d have to be the box with photos. Losing my writings and whatever wouldn’t be too bad in the long run but those photos are something I wouldn’t want to part with for anything in the world. 3. What does your ideal landscape look like? It’s funny .... these days I’m really sensitive to looking at landscape images. They all make me feel lonely or in some kind of pain. It used to be that they calmed me. Most landscapes are somewhat bereft of happiness, in my eyes, for some reason. Coming across one that makes me smile is rare. But we’re not talking about landscapes on posters, so enough about that =X Open landscapes are nice. But it needs something to break off that feeling of endless vastness, like a forrest, a mountain range. One particular landscape that comes to mind is that of sitting on the porch of a big wodden lodge, looking out and seeing a big stretch of grassy land that’s embraced by woodland on it’s sides, with a big lake greeting it. And in the distance you would be able to see the sunlight bounce off a mountain[range] where the snow hasn’t completely melted off the peaks..... 4. You have an idea for an invention. What would you like it to do? Uhm ..... Something that, at any given moment, gives me a superbly massage that imitates the feeling you get from human hands_^_ Being a physical person that’d be very handy, since people get tired after a little while or don’t even have time to give you a rub. 5. What do you want other people to see in your personality? This is going to sound so wrong, lol. But I want people to see my faults and remind me of them so I’m aware. Not that I don’t love it when people focus on my positive aspects (such as kindness or generousity), it’s just that oftentimes I’ll feel like people don’t want want to see anything wrong with me, that they’re satisfied with pegging me as the “good girl” and leaving little to no space for other parts of who I am. Which makes me feel horrible if I am struck with a sudden burst of rebellion or bitchyness. Like I’m not supposed to (or even be allowed to) act that way, just because I’m a pushovernice most of the time. Ideally I’d like people to see that my personality is a range of different characteristics =) “I’m the sum of my parts”

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ---- dge >>

A whole lot of comments to get on top of .... Something snapped in my thigh/hip today and it hurts, still. There's also a vertebra that's dislocated in my back, putting pressure on my breathing apparatus and causing general pain. Sleep would be nice. 15 more minutes. Internet isn't restored at home. Dad's being a trooper for hounding the company, though. Looks like we'll go back to the original internet provider. I dunno, we'll see. Any internet will be fine by me, heh. Solo's interview, along with all the comments here, will be answered when that happens *promise* The eldest sister always had hero status in my eyes but these last couple of days have really affirmed what a star she is. It can't be easy to break off a marriage you've worked on for 4 years and ultimately be the one who puts a stop to the mental abuse thrown at you. We can finally see Eleine, in all her former glory. It's good to have her back. (My other sisters names are: Juliette (younger, 21) and Angela (older, 26). So from now on I'll refer to them by name, which should save me typing eldest, older and younger.) I can barely wait for London. Right now it looks like the dates will be 16-19th or 17-20th of November. Eleine will be going with me, so I'm not sure if the classtrip will work (since I'm paying her expenses as well and won't have that much pocket money to spend) but any other day that you can meet up with me will be fine, Badness! Let me know where and when - I'll be there :) Anyone else wants a piece of me? Of course not.

Precautiously fretting
Still no internet. Can't comment from work. (Interview me, Solo *trips and falls on her shoelaces*) .... I'm very iffy on my spelling when there's no dictionary at hand. How does one spell shoe, anyway? I'm pretty sure that's correct but my mind starts to disagree with me. Flubbergum.

The eldest sister is being picked up by mom and dad as I type this. I don't know what to expect. Sure, I can imagine a few things that might happen. Such as my sister not feeling well and her husband reacting badly and thusly making her feel worse.

It's times like these that makes me need my friends even more, which is why is sucks that I've no internet at home and can't take much time from work to sit here and type >>

I love you all and will comment on each and every one of the comments when I return properly!


PS: Liam - I dreamt we met in your old school and you got two serious glomps from me /random.

Buggeriboo

Am typing from work >> Internet being silly at home. Again. Blast the folly internet. *goes back to work .... presumably* Edit 7/10: Ok, so apparently we won't begetting broadband. Despite the company saying we could have it at our new address. But now we can't. Dial-up isn't work either. Wtf, mate? Family drama is on the horizon. We're springing my eldest sister from her marriage on Monday. I'm giving her a Toadstool plushie when she gets here. If I had more time I'd explain the story behind it, but it'll have to wait until another day. As will comments on comments and PM's. Sorry Pyro ;_; I'll make it up to you, somehow *plots*

I keep forgetting to add certain thoughts *shakes fist*

Solo reminds me of Steve Coogan. Only Solo's 10.000 times sexier. I need to listen to Manic Street Preachers' "Australia" more. It makes me happy. Bubble Bobble never gets old. Especially not with siblings. The cops haven't banged on our door yet, either >> The world is an oyster and I'm the walrus 8-)

Just take an aspirin and give it some time

Slick: Thank you, m'dear! 'Twas a pleasure to bun you up, hehe. MC: Bunny! *snuggles it* Yeah, my whole body is a virus. Or so it seems to me x_x Pyro: It's more to do with the provider and its suckiness, then it has to do with my computer. So I keep telling myself, anyway >> "Everywhere you go, always take a Heather with you". I think it's a wonderful name :) Frank! *steals him* John: Excellent point. Unless you're really good at multitasking your problems, which I'm not, it's best to deal with them one at a time. It's just hard to remember at times ^_^; Annsie: You forgot to mention my temperament and angst :P *hides* You're such a wonderful gal >:3F Rustym: Thank you, kind sir. And if I don't solve my computer issues, I'll resort to stealing yours :o *stretches* This weekend has been almost entirely sucky. My eldest sister was supposedly visiting us but, due to her husband stalling, it was too dark outside for her to drive (the lights on the car weren’t working properly, from what I could understand). We tried to figure out alternatives, such as trains and busses, trying to salvage whatever time there was left but in the end she decided to stay put. This incident made her more determined to leave, though. She’s put in notice at work. That's a big step. The only problem with all this, for her, is that she’s gotta keep tightlipped about everything to her husband. Unless she wants the following month to be more hellish than normal. I wish there was more I could do for her but at the same time I realize there’s little to be done on my part. Quiet support can go a long way, anyway. My younger sister caused more sisterly drama when she announced she’d be coming this weekend, changed her mind and then spontaneously decided to come. Her train was delayed, causing her to miss the the connection. It stood between waiting an hour for the next train or ask dad to come pick her up. She opted for the latter. Dad is notoriously annoying when it comes to these situations and he was already stressed up about the eldest sisters’ situation. While he went to fetch her, I trotted off to the videostore and bought “Robots”. Mom saw it with me a couple days back, we both found that is was quite enjoyable, and I figured my sister would find it amusing as well. It salvaged the evening, at least. It just sucks that there has to be so much distress when my sisters try to come over. What else ... Oh yeah, the positioning of my bed has irked me ever since I moved into my room. So yesterday dad helped me with moving it and now there’s a much better feel going on. Unfortunately the sockets are a bit too high up, meaning the bed can’t be completely pushed up to the wall but I’m not too bothered about that at the moment. Tomorrow I’m meeting up with the people in charge of my rehabilitation [into the working world]. We’ve established that part-time is the best approach; now it’s a matter of deciding whether or not I can squeeze out more time at the videostore or if I’ll have to start looking for places that’ll hire me. One of the two people dealing with my case is very sympathetic to me staying there for as long as possible, because he knows it’s good for me. He’s a sensitive person to begin with but it expanded when he lost his father recently, so he wants to do whatever he can to prevent all the hard work I’ve put in to be lost. We all saw/experienced it the last time I pushed myself too hard and no one needs a repeat of that. In any case, things’ll happen the way they happen. Dad called the internet provider and apparently it was up to us to contact them in order to get anything done. Not only did we have to wait 20-30 working days to get it transferred to our current address but it was our responsobility to make them aware of the fact that it’s still not opperational after that time. Bah, I say. Bah. It wouldn’t be half as bad if the dial-up wasn’t so temperamental. You don’t need to gander on what sex it is, based on the fickle nature Although, both sexes have their fickleness and computers are genderless .... so whatever sex you like the least will fit =D Random, I know. Give me some Man Flesh to quench this thirst for physical affection.

I hate the internet. And my computer. They're in on this together, I'm sure of it. My brother in law gets the blame too, because he's a jerk.

Computer keeps shutting down. Dial-up is slow ... when it works. My eldest sister isn't coming because her psycho husband foiled things up AGAIN.

So tired. Waiting for the computer to shut down again .... any minute now....

I'm Mimmi. Sometimes I feel great about that, other times I truly don't. Then again, it wouldn't matter what name I was, things'd still be the same. What's in a name when the person who calls to it is the same, eh? Right.

"It speaks to me but that doesn't mean I'll talk back". Thought of that line when thinking about James's comment. Can't be bothered to type anything intelligent now since the computer might shut down any second *waits for it to happen* .... Oh well.

I want a bunny. I like answers. I need to sleep.

I apologize, unreservedly

Kei: If you're a heel then I'm a ... very moldy sole! *hugs* Just remember that you've kicked my butt pretty blue more than a couple of times, ok? :-* Shin: Actually ... you didn't :o It was more of a "bring it on" vibe over it, which made me happy, heh. So basically my mom told me before I posted the last entry that when she relayed information to my younger sister about how I got a bit miffed about her paying more attention to the tv while playing Literati with me some nights back, she (wrongfully) thought I'd meant she was being slow. She said the tv didn't distract her from the game, but that she was incerdibly slow compared to me - the Literati Champ - and how great I was at it .... then she began to cry. Granted, she's not been feeling too upbeat but I made her cry for goodness sake. It made me feel more rotten than when we were younger and I actually did my best to be mean to her. Her speed had nothing to do with the matter. The reaction hit home. When you add to that that people are, more often then not, saying how I'm this Mean Literati Machine ... also taking into account that my sensitivity levels are out of whack (lack of tears whithstanding) .... I just feel really bad for being good at something I enjoy so much. And I do love playing that game, regardless of whether I win or lose. Sometimes it even brings me more joy to be kicked to the curb, lol. Sara has whooped my ass plenty of times (her Queen of Literati title is still intact), as has Kei, Shin and Alex. I'm sure that anyone who's played me (for a longer period of time) has beaten me at least once. When I was first introduced to the game, I sucked. Royally. I'm sorry if I hurt anyone by putting it out there, both the sadness of being viewed as some mighty and powerful God (/Alladin) and enjoying being one (:p), but it doesn't feel too good to believe you're discouraging people to play a game. Is this what people go through when they create RPG's and people say they're not good enough to even play with the idea to sign up?

"You haven't beaten the pants off of me (and stolen them) in a while."

"I have not touched Scrabble in months and months because of Mimmi's Literati mastery."

"Perhaps because she crushed my gaming spirit like so much fragile glass when she did it, lol."

.... *sad silence* ...

Proof that I'm a horrible, horrible person. *hides from Kei*

---

James: Well, basically my immune system got shot to hell due to trauma (about 4 years ago now) and it's been unreliable ever since. Extreme stress seem to be a trigger to it plummeting, though, so it's not unpredictable. *hugs* Your little ramble made perfect sense and it's something I need to remind myself of in these lowpoints, absolutely. A "review" of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will be whipped together some day. *pauses* Seeing it again would be a good idea. To help with collecting my thoughts, mwehehehe. And because it'd be fun, that's why! John: ... If I ever met a psychiatrist that were like the one in Patch Adams, I'd probably have problems containing my amusement and laughing in their face >>;;; *gasp* I hadn't thought of taking pictures .... but I am thinking of it now :p Slick: Awww, you're too generous *hugs* Don't go to any greater lengths for that one, 'cause I'm totally pleased with what you've already got me! Hurrah for the Wordy Bastard *links their arms together and skips down the road to spiffy things to happen* =D Rustym: Thank you ^_^ Sorry for not hanging around your place much these days >> The ghost stuff sort of made me go into hiding. Have you done any more Jimbo and Pepe? :o
