Wrap your arms around me. Take me bowling till the sun comes up.
I'm home.
I'm in one piece.
I'm unable to form sentences.
I'm not sure what to say anyway.
I'm not bringing plenty of pictures.
I'm truly sorry about that.
I'm sure you'll forgive me after you're done tormenting me (please be gentle >_>).
I'm really missing .... a lot really.
I'm genuinely surprised at how much self-restraint I actually possess.
I'm sure some will fall off their chairs, laughing, when they read that previous line.
I'm ignoring the ones that do :P
I'm thinking Wednesday was the most brilliant day ever.
I'm not going to say more than that now *teases*
I'm dying to talk about it though, haha.
I'm curious to know if it was possible to look up my skirt and now it feels safe to wonder that out loud.
I'm going to stop now before I break/damage something.
I'm almost sure tomorrow will bring a more sane post, one that actually makes sense.
*huggles everyone*

*kills computer* Work ! -edits out all the duplicates-
I'm just loggin in real quick in an internet cafe, getting thoroughly conused by the placement o various keys. Not to mention having to have to hit them pretty hard to get them to work, heh.
Yesterday was wonderful, but I won't write about that right now because it'd probaly turn out ... I don't know, like a love letter or something *giggles and shakes her head*
Yes, it was that good ^________^
In about an hour (2 pm English time) I will be heading to The Globe, which should be good. I'll try to take some decent photos, though there are no guarantees when it comes to my skill with the camera ^_^;;;
There were two rolls in my luggage and I've barely used up one, since a lot of the time has been spent just enjoying being here and the people, hehe. Hopefully the ones I've taken will turn out semi good.
My sister is meeting up with her husband later on tonight, so I imagine I'll have to get back here then and surf the time away, until it's time to go to the airport.
Lonely me ;_;
Ideally I would love to spend the rest of the day on a blanket in Kensington Gardens *dreamy sigh*

London calling !
I should be in bed, so this will be quick >____>;
* Couldn't find the camera I was looking for - have another one that will do just fine.
* I was utterly horrified by my outgrowth - now have only brown hair.
* Opted to watch most of Last Samurai, instead of using the time to pack - hoping there won't be overweight on luggage >_>;;;
London Schedule
Tuesday: Get up at 5 am, reach London around 1 pm. After chucking our stuff off at the hostel we'll meet up with a friend of my sisters (and her baby boy).
Activity: Kensington Gardens
Wednesday: ^______________^
Thursday: We'll have to go to the airport at 11 pm, due to a ridicolously early flight on Friday morning, which I'd rather do than travel across central London in the morning.
Activity: The Globe
Friday: 7 am flight home and hopefully I'll be in my house before noon.
I shall miss you all dearly !

Who would you give your last Rollo to ?
What color are you? (Anime Pictures) brought to you by Quizilla
Hm. Must be the heat, haha. What do you guys think ?
Hehe, I thought I'd be running around frantically by now, worrying about everything. Maybe it's the heat that's preventing me from going too wild, lol. There really isn't that much to take care of anyway.
Unfortunately I'll have to go up to my younger sisters apartment tomorrow to fetch an old camera. (I'm not complaining about that because it'll give me an opportunity to do some last minute clothes shopping, hehe.) My dad was there yesterday but he didn't manage to find it and I'm determined to have that one with me. The digital camera I bought recently is too clumsy to use, both in weight and performance. My older sister has a really awesome camera but I suspect she'll want to use it herself, heh.
Other than that, almost everything is taken care of, which could explain why I feel so calm :p We'll have to take the train to Gothenburg though, since the car is on the fritz. At least that takes away the worry of possibly getting stuck in early morning traffic. Let's just hope the trains don't break down O.o;
Something that's [finally] dawned on me is the fact that I'll have to speak English to be able to communicate with people. That thought had kind of been blocked and ignored, heh. It's been ages since I last held any kind of proper verbal conversation in English (and it doesn't happen very often in Swedish either, lol), so it should be interesting to see how I fare ^_^;;;
*tilts head and smiles*

- pose -
It is hot, my legs are smooth and I will now comment on the comments :p
Solo: Thief ! I shall have to wear the skirt now. Haha, take that ~_^
Sara: You have a wonderful weekend too ! Stay away from the Jelly Man, is all I ask.
DDG: Yes, fear my artistic smiley skill. It is very fearful :D
hEvN: Not you too ! That means I need to find something to match the skirt... I can live with that >:)
Tae: I don't know if I'd like certain attention it could bring about ... but I guess it's nice if guys look at you appreciatively, heh. Great weekend to you too ^_^
Molly: Yay ! Snuggly moment *grins* I will try my best to do the skirt justice *curtsey*
Pyro: It'll be fine once school starts, I'm sure. He needs those bastard kids, lol.
*bins bin bags and plastic bags* Aw, you win ^_^
Rustym: Nasty little buggers, aren't they ? Want to form a secret alliance against them ? It'd have to be secret or they might threaten to completely flip out on us >_>;
Sarah: Teehee, you're too nice to me *hugs* At least the nice clothes look good where they hang and once they get on you they'll look even better ~_^
Chie: Yeah, that's usually the case. Things just need a little time and they'll be fine ^_^ You have a spiffy weekend too !
alwaysxprecious: Good thing us women are around .... right ? ;p
HC: Join the ranks and beat some modem behind ! Or any part of it, really. Hehe.
SG: That's a really good idea ^___^ Ice-cream would certainly do the trick :D
Angel: Hey ! If I can make anything look good, then how come I can't wear those bin bags ? ;p *hugs her*
*rubs tummy* I'll need to do more sit-ups if I'm gonna wear that skirt.
Bah, at least it fits and I likes it very muchly ^__^
Enjoy the weekend, good people !

Ngh [edited]
Bah, I wake up this morning to find that the internet conked out during the night. That means I left the downloads on all night for nothing. Everyone's been messing about with the other computer and I now have no idea how it works (strange feeling since it used to belong to me), so I had to wait for my younger sister to wake up. Turns out she's as clueless as me and even the older sister couldn't help us out.
Meanwhile my dad was throwing one of his bitchy moments (he's been having way too many of those lately) and thus causing my fragile older sister to cry. Too bad he doesn't take out his issues on his students instead of us .... or wait, he shouldn't take it out on anyone. But it's interesting that he's got more patience with complete strangers than his own family.
In the end the internet connection problem was all solved by turning off the modem and switch it back on again .... The wonders of modern technology -_-;;;
My morning round was severely delayed and I'll probably not get around to many sites until possibly later. Bah. At least it's working ^___^
And no, Charmi. I shall not be parading around in anything sexy, because I'm not. If anything I want to pull a plastic bag over my head and paint a smiley on it, lol. Hm, maybe I can get a matching bin bag to strap around the rest of my body *drifts*
*goes shopping for shorts*
EDIT
I'm stupid, stupid, stupid. And very silly. *tries not to burst into a smile*
It's 30 degrees Celsius outside (28 inside) and I went out with my older sister to see if I could find some shorts. Somehow I came back with a skirt that is cut above the knee. Don't ask me how that happened.
Is it cute ? Yes.
Does it look good on me ? Err, I won't admit to anything.
Will I wear it ? *sways back and forth*
Since there's no guarantee I'll ever wear it, am I going to return it ? No.
Don't you just love my logic ?

Uber hotness (No, not me. The weather. Hrm.)
Today's been excruciatingly hot. Standing in front of the stove, cooking dinner, was not much fun. It tasted good though *grins*
Biking in a scorchingly hot and stuffy room was not much fun either, but it had to be done *brave pose* The freezing cold shower afterwards was muchly goodly, hehe.
It looks like I'll need to buy some shorts *dreads* The weather in England isn't that much different to here, so walking about in jeans might prove to be impossible *cries* Maybe I can find a cute skirt ... *doubts* Maybe/Hopefully it'll be really cold on the days we'll be there ^_^;;;;
Speaking of other things, a big Thank You to Mr Azazel for giving me the fright of my life, just by signing my Guestbook, haha. Yes, that made me jump out of my chair, closely followed by a muffled shriek. Ok, so I only flinched a little and stared at the screen. No harm in embelleshing the truth >_>;
(Amazing what kind of reaction some things can evoke *cough*)
To answer the question you posed, I have played the Goonies game. Several times, almost every day. It's really weird to play it on the computer though and I keep mixing up which button does what, heh. Ehm, I haven't gotten very far yet, because I'm not a very good gamer, but it's addictive enough to go back to ^_^
Have I failed to mention anything ? Is there something burning on your mind that demands an answer ? Do you know the Muffin Man ?
See you in the comment box ~_^

I shall resist
I think I've been having some serious allergy problems these past few days. (Add to that the general uncooperative nature of my body and you have an annoying situation.) Even though most of the time has been spent lying in bed, there was still this massive fatigue lingering. Bleh.
Silly body having a mind of its own. One way or another, I'll make it work with me.
Aside from that, nothing much has been happening. "Working out" everyday, eating, sleeping, worrying about small stuff for the trip, having fun with my sisters, craving chocolate, watching movies (agh, need to finish Animatrix *notes*). The list goes on.
I was kind of hoping to be in better shape by the time London came around, but hopefully I'll be ok where I'm at now. There's little that could be changed within a weeks time anyway, heh. Doesn't stop me getting bugged out and beating myself up about it. Silly self-consciousness.
On the bright side I've found that my older sister is paying more attention to this trip than I gave her credit for. Up until now it felt like she was simply tagging along to meet her friends and for the opportunity to travel, so I thought she'd pretty much dump me and not care. But she's interested in what I want to do and tries to make sure that it's all safe and enjoyable.
It should be good ^_^
And it looks like I need to make another Guestbook signing tour, lol.
Thanks to everyone for leaving a message ! I'll be sure to repay your kindness ^_^

Dream from last night
The dream started off in a plane. (For some reason I was going to New York, all by myself.) I came out from the toilet and was heading back to my seat when the seatbelt button flashed above a door. Suddenly the plane went down really fast, giving me no time to go anywhere and all I could do was to try and hang on to whatever was available to grab, bracing for the impact as we landed. Nice way to start a dream ... not.
When arriving at the airport, I spotted a few old classmates. We started talking and I followed them to this desk, because it felt logical to go through the same procedure as them. (Saved me the hassle of finding out myself.)
Apparently you had to show your visum, which I didn't have because no one told me that I would need one. These visums, I was told by the staff, had to be ordered two weeks before you left to New York. There was no way to get hold of one on the spot and if you got caught without it, you'd be deported. (The funny thing was that as long as I didn't get caught, I could stay.)
The thought of spending all that time to get there (not to mention enduring that flight) and then being told at any minute I would be sent home again, was nerveracking. It was also highly frustrating that I'd missed doing something in preperation for the journey. Again.
Seeing as there was nothing I could do, I simply tagged along with the friends for a while. But somehow it didn't feel right. Whether it was because I was on edge about being caught, or because it didn't seem right to force myself on my old friends, I felt really left out. And it wasn't like I had come there with them.
I quickly excused myself and went on my way, not really knowing where to go. The only thought that kept going in my head was that I wanted to go to the park. Central Park ?
Somehow I got talking to this guy, who didn't have a visum either, and we decided to head to an embassy together. The dream skipped a little at this point and the next thing I know, I'm standing at a desk with a paper in my hand. A lady is looking at me sympathetically and I'm crying, doing my best to convince her that the document I'm holding is authentic. Which it isn't, but I know that if she buys it I'll get my visum.
And she does, to my great surprise. The paper is exchanged for a visum and I turn to walk out the doors of the building, still not quite believing I pulled off a stunt like that. Just as my hands reach out for the handle of the glass door, the sun shines through and lights up the space around me. I squint my eyes and the dream ends.
1 week left.

Cinderella Syndrom
If I were eloquent, like Sara or any other person around here (just thinking of how many intelligent people there are in these parts makes my head hurt), I could make a grand post about something that came to me a few moments ago.
But alas, the hour is late and I am of no greater stature than it is possible to claim my existence [scarcely] doth leave the soil.
It has also become evident that I need to assertain some form of textured barb wire, to keep out the evil residents of the garden world. There is nothing worse than to sit peacefully in front of your illuminous screen and have an unwelcomed insect bombard the privacy of your eyeballs. Maybe having a limb cut off would be considered vitally more traumatizing, but I'm not claiming to be adult about anything.
Congratulations to Solo !
You may claim your prize.
Yes, it's late and I promise I'll go to bed now, sleep soundly and wake up tomorrow at whatever hour suits me. Can't promise the sillyness will be gone though. Nor the inability to spell and perform correct grammar.
*smiles and sleeps*
