Dum-di-dum

I feel really odd today and there are probably a zillion reasons as to why so let's just leave it at that and not analyze further. Thanks to my younger sister, I was informed that Dominic Monaghan had a (more or less) leading role in "Lost", which has begun to air here now. Sennen's input already made me curious but that piece of information sealed the cat in my comfy bed. Or something. She also said that the guy who played Charlie in "Party of Five" would be part of the cast too, but it took me a little while to realise that he was playing Jack! For some reason he looked a lot less annoying than he sometimes appeared on "Party of Five" >>;;; The pregnant girl looked like Tess in "Roswell", though I can be mistaken. A delightful squee escaped me as the guy who played Mercutio in "Romeo and Juliet" lit up the tv screen. We like him *nods* There are probably more people that I recognise but laziness is kicking in and you don't need to hear me tell you who I can place in a movie/tv series and who looks so familiar I'm banging my head against the wall to remember where I've seen them. Yep. Hevn wondered what Swedish Lessons was. Well, it's basically you people asking me to translate something (a word, a phrase) from English to Swedish. I record it and have SomeGuy host it for me, then linky it here for you to listen to. So have at it. Give me suggestions and we'll see what happens. "Can you see writings on the wall, is the message plain to see? Seek and ye shall find an answer, heartbreaking as it may be. Keep my secret safe and hidden, wrapped inside your heart. Make the world grow a little smaller, the distance less apart." That's what it says on my wallpaper and it was the clue/hint on the 'hidden message' planted somewhere around here. As I said in the previous post, PM me if you think you've found it and you'll Sarah gets a small favour/gift :o Nice work - name your prize ~_^

A friend for Ghoti Bryce

Feedback Hevn: Keeping my head up sounds like a good idea. It keeps me from seeing mah tummy XP Hotness: I drink water but for some reason I am scared to drink too much, cause I think it'll bulk up and cause me to gain more 'weight'. This stems from when I gained all that weight not too long ago, and couldn't get it off, which was because my body ... what's it called ... was unable to properly deal with fluids. Let me tell you, if you've physically felt your skin stretching (and that's quite painful) because you're bloating like a balloon for no obvious reason ... you don't want to ever experience that again. Hevn: I lubs Literati Square and it's great to hear you do too :3 And I'll try not to starve myself :< Mimmi: Bah, you're such a pathetic loser. I'm going to ignore you now >:| Akamaru: Keep her away from me. I've already had a nightmare with her that will hopefully be erased if I forget about it. So don't you remind me ;_; *gives him buns* Angel: YES! That's exactly how it is. Frustrating, no? -.- Mmm, chocolate *nibbles* Azure: I don't like sallad. Or vegetables (except for cucumber). The same goes with fruits >>;;; Good tips though, hehe. And while I may not be obese, I do feel fat every now and then. Mostly it's because I've been forced to miss my work out or if something else frustrates me. I suppose it's a way to channel those feelings. "The world is coming to an end! ... Man, I feel fat." <-- Like that XP .... If you want I could find out my meassurements =X Sugar Lips: ... Now I'm suddenly curious as to how far your imagination stretches .... Badness: Those protein/energy bars, are they by any chance Twix? XD *glomps* But yeah, it's all about trying to be as healthy as possible, not losing weight (a nice side effect though it may be). HC: I've read/heard that somewhere before, so it doesn't sound off at all, heh. Hey, I'm all ears if you've got working out tips for me =) I know working out is something you need to adjust to the individual, but if you've got ideas for when a good time to do the work out would be, etc, then it'd be muchly appreciated. Chie: *huggles* Thanks for your support and suggestions =) Have a great week ahead too! Faroe: Grapefruit juice? Hmm, if the taste doesn't kill me .. I guess I could try it out >>; And the exercise part is already taken care of, but it's always good to be reminded of =) Thanks! Random stuff I had the oddest dream before waking up (for the third or so time) this morning. There was some kind of show, given at a royal festival, and the act that was supposed to perform next hadn't arrived. To disguise this, and buy time for them to get there, a rooster got up on the stage and began to fire up conga music and dance to it O.o The crowd absolutely loved it and danced around to the beat, which suddenly sounded like an alarm clock.... It had gone so seamlessly, between dreaming and waking up, that the alarm clock sounded like that conga beat. Most likely it was waking me up and when it didn't stop ringing, I woke up completely. Freaky, but funny. Mom got a good laugh out of it when I told her. --- I've seen "Master and Commander" and liked it quite a bit. Originally my sole reason for renting it was because I wanted to see Billy Boyd's performance >> A lot of people have said they didn't enjoy the movie at all, but I think my liking of it can be explained quite easily. Solo took me to Portsmouth and we went aboard The Victory, which was Admiral Nelsons' ship, so I know (sort of) what it's like to be on that kind of ship. That made me soak up every little detail about the movie, be it how they managed the ship or related to one another, etc, and thusly enjoyed it a lot more than I might've done otherwise. Hehe. Speaking of movies, I've rented "Calcium Boy" with Orlando Bloom. Hopefully it can show that the guy has some ability to act beyond ethereal elf or swoosh pirate- wannabe :p It's been ages since information about the production of it came out and it's surprising how long the movie has taken to get here. Hm. --- The post office hasn't been in contact with me and therefore I conclude that the package to Badness is on its way. Either back to me or to her. Other stuff will be mailed tomorrow and hopefully they'll arrive in a somewhat timely manner. --- Swedish Lessons. Anyone remember those? I was thinking of doing some more, if anyone's up to contributing and provided Someguy is still up to hosting them _^_ (By the way, is it possibly to fix a full song to mp3 format as well? It's about ... 4 MB. If that's too much I've got another one just under 3 MB, hehe. *puppy eyes*) Dum-di-dum.... can't remember if there was anything else on my mind. Apart from the usual but let's not go there. Oh yeah, there was one other thing. If you've gotten 100% on Final Fantasy X-2, could you please PM me? And the first one to "crack" the subtle hint planted on this MyO and PM me about it will recieve either a favour or a [small] gift.

[In]visible subtlety

I eat a minimal amount at breakfast, a very moderate dinner and a minimal sandwich snack in the early evening. I work out every/every other day, take walks pretty much every day (often carrying something heavy). I haven't had chocolate in who knows how long, or any other candy for that matter. So why is it that I'm not losing weight? Do I have to completely stop eating or something and work out twice a day? It's not that I want to turn into a psychotic anorexic who works herself out to death, but this is seriously frustrating me. And splurging on a gym card could be a potential waste of money, since the whole moving thing keeps changing. It feels like such a waste to stay off things and trying so hard to be fit when I've got nothing to show for it. EDIT: Have I ever mentioned I don't eat fruit or vegetables? >> Except for cucumber. And orange juice, when freshly squeezed. (And I'm not going near whole grain bread either.)/EDIT "I don't know what day it is, I can't recall the seasons And I don't remember how we got this far All I know is I'm loving you for all the right reasons In my sky you'll always be my morning star" So horribly off. As a lover of squares, it makes me cringe. Hurrah for the modified Literati Square, now up and running. Scroll to the end of the page to see it in all its square glory.

If's, but's and maybe's

Did you know that my older sisters friend goes/went to the same college as Solo? Well, she did/does. First she took some sort of English course, for a degree, and I'm pretty sure she's taking some kind of cookery class now. Ever since I heard of how she made her way over there (and I've known about it for a long time now), I've been thinking "If she could do it then so could I :o". Heh, I've only told 2 people about this but I had some loose plans on trying to make my way to London. With all the plans of moving house it just felt/feels like ... if I'm going to end up somewhere else than here, it might as well be London *grins* If Solo got into that course he is trying for, we could've shared a flat/ apartment. Neither of us likes to be alone so, yeah. 'Twould've been a nice thing. I can't help but torment myself to wonder if the possibilities could make a difference or if there's already someone else? If there was a chance, then I'd want to grab it. Because it'd be worth it. *pause* I'd really like to scoop up Sarah and have a bawl-fest with her. /*pause* My back doesn't hurt too much today and I'm putting that down to the lovely massages people have offered/given me, haha. It's been really hard to stay away from the bike and crunches though. Exercising has been a good venting tool and I've tensed up a bit from not being allowed to do anything too physical =\ Maybe I'll do a light work out later >>;;; Hopefully I'll also be able to figure out how to text people in the states, since the ones people have sent me hasn't come through and mine hasn't either. It should be possible to sort out *determined pose* Hm, once Literati Square is fully sorted I'll show you how very non-aligned the current version is *cringes and irks* H.C needs to find another spot for his word, which I approve of, because it conflicts with "Virtuesque" (which I need a color for, hehe). Once that's done, it'll be Badness's turn.

Give me a break, please

My back is really starting to hurt. It's gone from being annoyingly achy from time to time, to being outright murderous. Yay for more pain being added. A postoffice somewhere called me and said they couldn't deliver the secret package I was sending Badness because they don't deliver to PO boxes. I need either a phonenumber or a street adress, they said. Dad's checking that out to see what it's all about, since that wasn't an issue last time ... Though last time I didn't put my adress down on the package and it took quite a while for it to reach her .... Anyway. Surprise spoiled. The Psychotic Bastard had his court day yesterday and in the newspaper today it said that he would have to go through a phsychiatric evalution before ruling can be done. It didn't say he'd be continued-ly locked up while that happens. Dad won't be home for a couple of hours so I'm left to mill it in my head until then. Why can't they just castrate and lock him up, get it over with? I want my package from Alex and it kills me to know that I'm suffering again because yet another person has a life. What's so great about having one anyway? >>; *doesn't like waiting months for something that won't be coming her way* Tell me for sure when you've actually mailed it, ok? I keep making mistakes with calculating the space in Literati Square, but it's great to have something to take my mind off of things. Oh, the next person to add a word to it is H.C. If he wants to, that is. After him it's Badness and Annie. Then we start over from the beginning with Shin again. What the clean up looks like, so far The words which colors I'm not sure about are: Virtuesque , Liquefiable, and Consulate. Any help from those who contributed those words would be greatly accepted ^_^

Apologies

I'm sorry if people have felt left out lately, especially since I've scattered vague posts around here. But I wanted to deal with the 'situation' by myself as much as possible, because outside interference might've caused more harm than good. Besides, letting others solve the more tricky points in life means that you won't grow as a person. Rough patches are no fun to deal with, but you learn from them and become stronger. I'm not bitter or resentful, which is what I wanted to avoid. Mission accomplished :p The love and happiness lives on, as it should and will =) It warms my heart to be surrounded by so many wonderful and supportive people. Love you guys *huggles* PS: Thanks for the tip Sara! Your orange will be fixed up, hehe. Anyone else want their colors of their Literati Square words snazzed up? PS2: Progress so far. I managed to calculate the spacing wrong, so there's some shifting needing to be done -.-

A place for the soul to softly speak

He was my Geraden and broke through the glass. Beside him I grew stronger, in his eyes I could see my own reflection. The sand ran out before we could finish, leaving an empty frame. Someday the horns will sound again but for now I'm lost in the mirrors.

Oh for goodness sake, my mind needs to make up its ... mind on how it's going to have it *bangs it against the wall* ... Please ignore me now. The poem up there was partly inspired by a book, that's all I'll say because for some odd reason I don't want the rest of the world to get it. I mean, part of it you will get but the other part is mine *clings possessively* *coughs and sneaks away*

To Sara, with love

Naked Mining Guy and Box is to make a return to the web! I found this piece of glorious news when I randomly surfed back to the website they come from and saw that it had been updated yesterday. The guy is back and dedicated to update more regularly. It has been about 2 years since he last posted something, hehe. So let's hope there'll be plenty of Naked Mining Guy and Box coming our way shortly ^_^ In other news: I recieved the PM I had been waiting for and now it's time to move on. Speaking of moving. We (mom, dad and I) are moving house. I don't know when, I have a clue as to where we'll end up (unless that changes too) and that's that. My broadband is back - it took one week and half a day, almost two handfull of calls to the internet company, loss of sanity on my part and not a single thing was broken/cut or ruined. *cue applause* The new intro image is there to stay. As much as I love the sheep James did, it was time for something that I had done. Not from scratch mind you, but some work was put into it, hehe. I love each and everyone one of you, dearly :-* PS: I'm re-doing Literati Square, to tidy it up a bit. The colors are proving difficult to copy though, so I'd need the codes again or an idea of what color you want (if you want the same color or a completely new one). Thanks =)

Who cut the cheese?

I wonder if my internet had returned earlier if I had posted that last post sooner.... because a couple of hours after it got up, I could get on the internet through dial-up at home. Dad was well chuffed and probably expected me to jump for joy. I had to bite my tongue not to say "It shouldn't have gone in the first place". It would be nice if he had to suffer a little too over something, to even things out, lol. Broadband is supposed to be back tomorrow around 3 in the afternoon. If it doesn't, there'll still be dial-up. Which I'm not paying for. Maybe I won't even pay for this month's broadband.... Heh, who am I kidding. I'll pay like the good kid I am. *tries to think of other ways to make her dad's life hell for a little bit* >>;;; But I want you guys to know that just because I'm depressed doesn't mean I can't handle hearing bad news. So if you've got something to tell me that you think might bring me down, don't be silent on my account. Please. It's not like you'll ruin a great mood, haha. /less than subtle hint in a specific direction. Sennen, Shin, whoever else is going to AX and can help me out: any and all information about/around AX would be good to get. So will you guys pimp me up? I love you all *group hug*

*bawls*

I've written this entry on my computer so that I can just post it up real quick, seeing as the local library doesn't give you much time to do anything. It certainly doesn't give you time to check coding and such, which is why this is just slapped up here, heh. (Please excuse any spelling errors and wonky coding that might appear.) I figure it'll be a lot better than just rushing on and typing "Life sucks, I'm lonely *sob* Love you guys" and leave it at that. The reason I've been absent is due to my father. You see, despite the fact that we've had great service from our broadband company and despite knowing the troubles with switching from it to any other company, he figured that it'd be a good idea to go ahead and cancel our services and sign up with another broadband company. That in itself was never the problem. You see, I wake up Monday morning (last week) and the internet won't work. After testing a couple of cables, disconnecting and connecting, mom called dad up. He informs her that he went ahead with the switch.... even though he'd asked me if we really should and I had said no. First we thought it'd be back by Wednesday (last week), but that didn't happen. Then dad hoped that we could use the modem in my computer while we waited for our broadband connection to kick in. That didn't work. Supposedly it should work today or tomorrow. I don't hold my breath for anything any longer. This just happened at the worst time imaginable. I went from not feeling too hot to feeling seriously messed up. Right when I needed my friends the most, they were cut away from me. Solo was the only contact I had and I asked him to check if anyone wanted to text me, to ease some of the extreme loneliness. Maybe I wasn't clear on how desperate I was, because the message didn't seem to get through *shrugs* It wasn't exactly ideal that he was the only one I could contact, seeing how he's uber busy right now/keep getting sick, and even though it helped to have someone .... it made it worse that he was the only one. Ironically enough. There's little use in trying to fill you guys in on what's been going on, because I really have no idea where to start and since I don't know when I'll be back on a more consistant basis... Yeah, let's just leave it at Mimmi feeling very messed up and lonely. We can all catch up on everything once I get back properly. Something this whole unwanted hiatus did was to confirm my desire to travel and meet other friends, so I'm looking into that. Solo will be busy this summer, which means I can't count on seeing him, thus making Anime Expo pull even more. It would be nice if someone could chaperon me if I get over, because I am a bit wary about being there on my lonesome. I'd still need to look into it more (dates, flights and all that) but it should be possible to arrange. We'll see. Love you guys, miss you loads, see you when I see you *hugs*
