- waits -

First off I'd like to say to HC that Bachelor #1 was your evil twin brother who mysteriously went missing in the corridors leading to the studio (incidentally they were shooting "Return to Baywatch 4" in a nearby location). Bachelor #3 complained about cramps shortly after your name was announced and never returned from the bathroom break. Does that answer your question? ~_^ Second off, I'm working on putting in the word from Badness and after that it's Iron[ic] Man's turn again. Unless someone shows interest and says so before I give him the all-clear. My incredible tiredness appears to have been a direct cause from lack of sunlight/ light in general. After heeding to mom's suggestion to switch on all the lights in my room, most (if not all) of said fatigue has gone :o I knew I had a severe case of need for vitamin D (sunlight/light in general) but I had no idea it was this extreme >>; Though for some reason my head is hellbent on making me feel depressed and it's annoying me. Mostly because it feeds the chocolate addiction. 'Feel bad? Take some chocolate and it'll be better.' That's how it usually sounds and I can fight that easily enough. But when it sounds like '... chocolate... now ... CHOCOLATE!!!', then obviously it's not as easy to ignore --; *borrows Keilicious' smiley. At least up until today I had stuff to distract myself with. During the time I did said stuff, I realised that it would be a fatal error to ever employ me as a secret agent or something along those lines. My stealth is seriously out of tune, I have a serious inability to keep things to myself (good stuff, anyway) and I'm seriously sure there are plenty of other reasons to keep me away from the CIA/MI5 ... I'm sure the British Intelligence Office is fuming if I got their abbreviation wrong >>;;;; So. My first attempt to be all secretive and send a surprise package went wrong. I ended up having to ask the intended person for the address, thusly ruining the surprise element. The element of '.... is she crazy? O.o;;;' is probably still there *cough* I'm still waiting for that one to arrive. Hopefully it will. Soon. (Suddenly I understand Princess Papaya's relationship with her mailbox a lot better.) The second time around I successfully managed to get a hold of my victi--- recipients address, taking advantage of my connections *winks* But then I got jittery as said person started talking about something that I planned to send. So I blew the whistle on myself. Hence why being an agent is nothing for me. That package got delivered to my mail office today and I don't even want to think about how long it will take for it to get where it's supposed to *sobs* Putting both of the 'surprise' boxes together was immensely fun though. Spreading sillyness was highly enjoyable :D ... But there is still chocolate on my desk! ;-; ... I don't know what chocolate you're talking about >> PS: I'm sorry for not reading stuff and commenting on them. My brain's funky on me lately. But I do love to read everyone's work and think everyone's doing great with their lyrical-ness. It's just that sometimes my commentyness doesn't kick in *ashamed* EDIT: It arrived! It arrived! It finally arrived! *glomps Badness* I'm just as happy as you are, lol. And I love your word ~_^

Burn baby, burn

Aaaah, Literati Square continues to blossom. Waffle w/ dollop of Lust cheered us all up with her word (ethereal) and Bachelor #2 unknowingly donated a word of his own. Shinny pointed out the fact that I had no nick/petname for myself and so the floor is open to suggestions. But 'Cheapness' won't work, because that would be ... too ... obvious. Use your imaginations, people! Now, for those who are new to this place or just unfamiliar with my silly nature, an explanation of Literati Square is in order *clears throat and shoves Shin on the stage to help her with visuals* It all started when Proclaimed Writer Shin told everyone about a game he had been introduced by from Sennentially Sen. The game in question was Literati and resided in the Yahoo's Games section. Apparently it was an online version of Scrabble, a game which I (and others with me) happen to be very fond of. Naturally I asked (read begged) to be initiated and were thusly embraced in a highly addictive circle of Literati Lovers. The idea of doing something interactive with this place came to mind, seeing how everyone was posting lyrics and asking their visitors to identify said words. So I threw the idea out here and asked people who were interested in joining to sign up in the comment box of said post. Then I wrote down all the names on small pieces of paper, forced my dad (who was more than perplexed about the strange names but played it cool and didn't ask) to draw one at a time and I proceeded to write down the names in the order they were drawn. After that I asked the first person on the list to give me a word and a color to write it in. When it had been given to me, I created a blank Square and inserted the word, uploaded it and displayed it in my Quiz section further down this page. The next person was asked to do the same, only they had to make sure it connected with the first word. And so on, so forth. So far there hasn't been any rules that I've had to inforce, nor have I had to turn any words down (phew). The only thing you need to think about when joining in Literati Square Madness is that you make sure to say what color and place you want me to give your word. But the most important thing to remember is: The word has to connect to what is already out on the Square *visual pointer* Look at the word 'prohibited' and you will see that the way it matches up to 'virtuesque', there are no real words created where they meet. 'Iv' 'tt' etc aren't real words. So that's the only thing to look out for. Wherever words meet, real words will have to be made. Or at least funny enough to convince me to go for it ;p Hopefully that clears it up for everyone and if anyone wants to join, please say so now or we start over from the beginning ^___^ Hehe, I got my mom to watch 'Memento' again with me yesterday (even put a seed into my dad about how he should see it *grins*). She liked it and we ended up talking about it afterwards. Psychology, and the human body in general, is something that is a mutual interest for us. For those who haven't seen it, don't worry, I'm not gonna demand you to see it ~_^ It took me until a couple of months ago to see 'Labyrinth' so the phenomena of not having seen an awesome movie isn't unfamiliar to me, hehe. And yes, the magnificant intellectual aspects put aside, Guy Pearce makes it that much more enjoyable *winks* Oooo, a special edition of it would fit nicely in my DVD collection. Must make room for it ~_^ Hmm, that's it for now. Well, there's stuff to take care of *shifty* Hopefully this time it won't take as long as the last one took *grumbles* Oh, and there was that thing I wanted to try out *notes* .... Oh. Yeah, I'm done ^_^; *waves*

Rawr

Well, after a great night of wonderful sleep the posting background doesn't look too bad... I still find it a bit too ... I don't know, but it needs to mellow down somehow. I JUST SAW MEMENTO!!!!! It almost didn't happen though, since the video store didn't have it. Luckily there are several stores that rent out videos, so I only had to walk a short walk to the local hot dog kiosk (which is inside a biulding, in case you wondered) and found a VHS copy of it ^___^ Pyro's been talking about it and when I asked my sister I got this excited look from her, so that pretty muched sealed it. lol. It's one of the many movies I've heard about when they get out in cinemas but never get around to watch. The thought of how many great movies I've missed is one I'd rather not entertain ;_; Boy was it worth a watch. It's even worthy of BUYING ON DVD! *swoons* Seriously, I loved everything about it. How they filmed it (both technically and storywise), the actors, the psychology, you name it and I love it! Rrrr, too bad they only let you rent it for 1 day -_- ... I also wish I could do the movie justice when talking about it instead of feeling like a n00b going 'it waz leik so gr8, u havta see it!!!111' *sobs* That's where Pyro comes in. Go to her place and you'll get all the intellectualism you could ever need. And it'll be fun :D Speaking of fun *comments on comments* *does Charmi first because they shared the Anniversary* CHARMI: KAGU!!! It was great to celebrate with you, in true Charmi/Mimmi style ;-* Des: Did you find out why they'd typo-ed the wallpaper? Got any theories? ~_^ Blue Hawk: Indeed, that was the darker side of Pikachu >:D DDG: It's the aura from 'Planet of the apes' getting to you *pats* Pikachu has nothing to do with that :p Sarah: Good thing I changed it so quickly then ^_^ Shanny: Thank you :D Hehe, the new layout is a lot less scary than the quicky ;p Ben: *hugs him* Thank you so much and kudos for your participation in Literati Square ~_^ John: *dances in the confetti* Thanks for the party :D Did you happen to hire someone to clean up? >> Angel: COOKIES!!!! *chomps them* Mmmm, yes. Many more happy anniversaries ^___^ SG: Nah, not an aversion to pink - just the kind that stings your eyes :p I'm very finnicky (sp?) about how things work together and it feels like the color is competing with the background - I'm not feeling the teamwork *gestures* Yeah, there've been hard times that were followed by soft times when I landed on you XD You've been a great rock to lean/land on *hugs* Tack för Gratulationen! (Thanks for the Congratulation!) Your Swedish is wonderful ~_^ Hevn: You're so kind *hugs* Yay for Cherry Blossoms and butterflies! Baron: *pilfers chocolate filled platter* RAWR, thanks ~_^ And I've come a long way - going from constantly changing text color to constantly changing the background XD */End commentary commenting* Hmmm, all that chocolate (and no exercising) made me gain 1 kilo. Not too bad. Easy to work off. If only I stay away from the chocolate. Which is easier said than done ;__; Good news is potatoe season is in full swing and I can eat as many as I like :D Mmmmm, potatoes with meatballs and brown sauce *licks lips* That's what I'll fix for dinner now! EDIT: Angel submitted a stunning word to Literati Square (let me know if the color's ok) and it is now my turn to give it a twirl. Expect to see some typical Mimmi Cheapness ~_^ Unless someone wants in at this point, the list of participants is as follows: 1) Rant Master Shin , 2) Heavenly Paula , 3) Sexyness , 4) Saultry Sarah , 5) Sugar lips , 6) Lady Keilicious , 7) n00b Hunter Alan , 8) Mistress , 9) Shytastic , 10) Babs , 11) Angel , 11) Waffles with a dollop of lust , Myself.

I love you all!

October 17th 2003 'twas a slightly dark and somewhat chilly almost evening, the streetlights barely visible in the twi light. befriended by a dim shade of electricity she sat there. and that is how it began. slowly pacing the web that is distant of contact, her feet finding their way across borders. so it was that she ended up here, falling behind the beat. ok, that's about as interesting as I can build myself up to be, for now. I live and breathe, and therefore I believe myself to be. hm, there's still more (of what hopefully will be considered as more than weird) that wants to come out. fine. I decided it had been, that a place to lay would need to be found, here seemed as comforting as nowhere. resting at the side of her winding path, sensing time brushing gently through the space. hands held out, mind tuned on and life floating further, she awaited. ok, enough babble. here I am, and I'm right here. my age is as seen on the left and so is my whereabouts. for those who desire more there is knowledge to attain, for others a way straight past. make your choice, I'm not going anywhere in particular. I wish all of you the best and that you take good care of yourselves and those surrounded by your thoughts. - Mimmi Haha, that was my very first post here. It could've been worse, I guess :p As you can see I was lazy with capitalizing the beginnings of my sentences, but at least there was some form of consistency and grammar, lol. The following day's post is rather interesting: October 18th 2003 Ok, so yesterday I became a member of the Otaku world. For what reason? Because I have talent in drawing – no. Because I know loads about anime – no. Because I have friends here or looking for new ones – not really. Then is it because I want to share my world of thought with people – in a way, yes. But not really, cause I doubt that I’ll be very successful in updating very often, or have anything important to say for that matter. To make it easier on myself (and for those who should stumble across this place) I’ll simply call it an exercise in communication. A department I’ve not excelled in lately. So where to start ? I could go on from here, or go back and continue forward. Neither is easy, but it has to be one or the other. Or I could stay in some vacuum in between, where I said everything and nothing at the same time. Thereby staying true to my “mission” and not put unnecessary pressure on myself. Ah yes, pressure. Compressing me and the life I know now. Confused, I am :P At the same time as I am reaching out, I become more and more introverted. Closing around myself as a shell. Not healthy, I know. But vital to sustain some form of sanity, although alone. Like I said, or tried to say, in the beginning of this blog (I really like that word) I’m not really looking for friends. Mainly cause I can’t give guarantees on commitment. Which makes my signing up here contradictory, since it is a place for bonds to be made. I guess I see this as a space to take a deep breath and let out all the old air that lingers. Also somewhere to be inspired, reading blogs that evoke thoughts and ideas. And be reminded of how I once was, how I belonged and felt connected. I’d really like to get back to that place, and maybe this is how I can go about it. In future posts, I’ll try to be less vague. It’s an attempt in sounding mature, intelligent and interesting. I don’t know if that’s what I am, we’ll see as I go along. We are all kaleidoscopes, in every eye we are different and unique. - Mimmi Can anyone tell how desolutely lonely I was, heh? At that time my reason for signing up was purely out of the need to have some form of release for all my thoughts and emotions, without being bound to something tangible (like a proper diary). I'd visited theotaku.com for years (well before there was a poetry section, which got taken down) and it felt like a good place to 'settle'. Hehe, at first I was adamant about not adding people to the friends list willy-nilly. The case of 'I read this post/I signed your Guestbook, now let's be friends' didn't work with me. Still doesn't *polite cough* I don't know, haha. Besides, at that point in time I wasn't looking for friends *laughs* My opinion was also that there needed to be some time of introduction and getting to know someone (through comments) before it felt comfortable to put them on a list others could see. Adding people to my friends list is still sporadic and impulsive. And there's this feeling of ... if I add you, then I am making some sort of obligation to visit you and comment. That's done easily in the beginning but once the list starts to grow, well ^_^;;; Ok, ok. So I'm a closet lurker >> Sometimes it's nice to just read people's MyO's anonymously, even though I know how nice it is to get comments on your posts *ashamed* Anyway, enough reminiscing. As some may remember I used to have a cherry blossom avi and ever since then I wanted to incorporate cherry blossoms in my layout. Tada! This beautiful background was found by Googling, again. There were many pretty backgrounds, so I might switch now and then. But the theme will remain Cherry Blossoms ... and Pikachu XD I prepared for a matching avatar, though it might be a while before I'll be able to part with that cutie ^___^ Maybe it can be incorporated as a background for my posts, who knows? Comments, congratulations and chocolate, can be left in the comment box ;p Oooo, the groovy Ben has graced the Literati Square with his word so that means it's Angel's turn ^_^ EDIT: Have I been staring at the screen for too long or is the background color to my posts seriously disturbing?

Plotting

Hehehehehe, no. This isn't the actual layout I was planning on putting up. Once again I've evaded going through with it and brought you more Pikachu! This was found when I was Googling for Pikachu images. The original looks like this: Dirty little Pikachu It was simply hilarious and so therefore I share it with you all until I get my ass in gear and actually put up the layout that was intended as this whole layout shift started >> Any guesses on what it will be, lol ? :o EDIT: I've been here for a year ?! O.o Wow, I really tormented early visitors with my constant color changes ^_^;;; By the way: If you're missing the old Pikachu background, it's available HERE

Magnificant Shy has done his duty to the Literati Square (I hope to his satisfaction) and appointed Ben to carry on the proud tradition. Angel gets to join the merry Literati troup after that ^_^ After feeling low for almost a week and being horrible to people for a while (*apologises profusely*), things are starting to turn. My body is probably adjusting (though rather poorly) to the whole seasonal change. Not to mention that eating chocolate instead of facing my issues ... well, the only thing it does is put more weight on the scales. Nothing gets solved, lol. (Except the craving, for a short period of time >>) Wheee, earlier I played Literati with Lady Asphy and Alan. It was mucho fun ! Getting to talk to Asphy was great (I got it into my head that I wasn't worthy of conversing with her and had therefore not added her name in my buddy list *blushes*) and I bang my head for being so AIM shy of some people >> It also amazes me how bold I can be with others O.o;;; Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I want to change to the actual layout... but what do you guys say ? If I promise not to change it after a few days again, would you guys give me the ok to go ahead ? ^_^;;;;

Singing in the rain (with Gene Kelly)

I'm singin' in the rain Just singin' in the rain What a glorious feeling I'm happy again. I'm laughing at clouds So dark up above The sun's in my heart And I'm ready for love Let the stormy clouds chase Everyone from the place Come on with the rain Have a smile on your face I'll walk down the lane With a happy refrain And singin' Just singin' in the rain I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain...

The chocolate is being too addictive to me. And my sister was too tired to come over today. The day before yesterday mom had bought a cinnamon bun. The smell of it was fierce and made me want to bake some buns so that the whole house would be enclosed in the wonderfulness of cinnamon. Sheep will return soon. Double whammy return, if I can get my fellow Sheep animator to help me again. It feels really rude to ask since the last animation was only up for a day or so. But this one would be permanent. No matter what the layout, the sheep would remain in its place. Dinner is ready soon and I'm hungry. No chocolate for dessert. Just Darren Hayes and maybe some cottage cheese. Or chocolate. Chocolate it was. My older sister is here, the one who's becoming a baker. I hope she makes cinnamon buns. The stupid mail didn't do what I wanted it to do. More waiting. And chocolate. Maybe I should put away the pile of clean clothes that's draping my armchair ? Hm, staring at it doesn't seem to solve anything. Time to socialize with the family and eat sandwiches. Behold the lovely contribution by Mistress. Not only did she give us a new word in a lovely color to gaze upon, but she chose Shy to be the next to add his vocabulary to the Literati Square. After him it will be Ben's turn and if no one else wants in, it'll start over from the beginning. I know Sexyness wanted to add a word, but I don't know if she wants to add it NOW or wait until it's her turn again ? Let me know, ok ? Otherwise the turns are as follows (*lazes out on the plugging*): Shinmaru hEvN Queen Asuka Sarah Solo T. Lady Kei Alan Sara Shy Ben Angel

Stupid dreams mirroring stupid reality

The lovely Lady Katana submitted her cool awesome word (I command everyone to say it out loud at least once and possibly use it in a sentence) and now it's time for ALAN to join in the fun ! (And join in the fun he did at a record speed :O!!) Next up is Sara, also known as 'Queen of Literati/Scrabble' ~_^ Aside from that, there's much to talk about but I won't. Hurrah. Give me a cookie, Alex. Or a thesaurus and a dictionary. .... is my computer the only one crashing when trying to access the greetings and wallpapers ?
