Suggestiveness

Thank you James for killing off any sexappeal I thought I might have as a young woman *cough* Here's your bedtime story:

"Upon a grassy hill, among trees that grow wilder than the waves of an ocean, stands a flower waiting to bloom.
It has never heard its name called, for all we know it has none, nor does it belong to a fauna observed by human hands.
As the sun regally sweeps across the landscape, accompanied by the loyal and mischievous winds, the landscape sways curiously in their trail.

From the blazing light above it, with air so full of life all around, the flower is roused to wake from sleep.
The delicate petals begin to surge with color, stretching out slowly as not to break, absorbing the delight that envelops it.
With a giggle of chiming innocence, carried away on the wind, the flower sends the sun a smile as sweet as its nectar."


It needs another paragraph or two, and I leave those to you (James) to write. See if you can come up with an ending for me :)

Pretty Boy: *hugs* Naruto power ! And the first 20 or so seconds from the third opening (with the high pitched girl singing) sounds like a song from Sailor Moon O.o

CrH: O.o… is that edible ? *stomach turns slightly*

Boba: That is an excellent idea, but I will give it a twist and encourage everyone who have had their pants stolen to give a description themselves ^__^

Kinetic: Uhm… That scared me slightly, care to explain where it came from ? *lol*

Japan: I shall pass that on to Shin, who I believe is more capable in telling the tale of the powers that Des possess ~_^

AJeh: :p

Faera: Nice idea, but it's been ages since I was part of a fire drill… I guess I could always copy one of Arcadia's fire drill happenings and pass it off as mine >___>;

Panda: But then it wouldn't be a deep and dark secret anymore, now would it ? ;p

Shin: Haha, I made a comment at Boba's and Ben beat me to it. I thought I had double posted at first ! It is rather honouring to have Ben steal things from you ^__^


Thanks for all the great suggestions !
*huggles everyone*

I like teh Purplyness very muchly ! >:o [Edited slightly]

My issues from the funky slump are starting to slowly work themselves out, for me anyway (I can't speak for the others involved). The England trip is still on and so is the amusement park visit, which I am really happy about. You see, when my sisters and I were younger, we visited this particular park at least once a year. I have a lot of happy memories of going on the rides and walking around, having a blast with my sisters. It's been a while since we got some playtime together, and I think everyone could use it this summer.

If my sister hadn't wanted to go with me to England, I would've tried to go on my own. Hehe, it's funny... I don't really like big cities. Gothenburg is fine, because it's so friendly. I dislike being in Stockholm, since it feels a bit claustrophobic and chilly. But for some reason I keep wanting to go back to London, which I imagine is bigger than the two previously mentioned cities put together :p
I'm just glad we're going and that both of us are set on having a good time. Now all that needs to be done is getting money and think about what we want to do, lol. All we've decided on is that we'll be going in August at the earliest and visit Kensington Gardens, haha. I guess it's a start ^_^


And speaking of my older sister, I shall have a Naruto Marathon with her all on my own today [because I am the only one awake] !
And speaking of Naturo, I am sooo impressed with all the Genins ;___; It was fantastical to see them in action and get the spotlight they deserve. Oh how I cheered and wept for these guys and girls *sniffles*
I'm glad to hear I'll see more of them, Sasuke-kun ! *waves to Pretty Boy*

On another note, Orichomaru (or however his name is spelled) really creeps me out and I want him taken down >: | Kabuto surprised/shocked me, but I'm still intrigued and want more background on him. That goes for a lot of people though, heh.

Take Care Everyone !
Remember that People and Objects are only as much fun as you make of them ^_^

EDIT:

Baron - The reason I go to England and not Australia, is because it's closer and less expensive. Sure I could wait and save up, but sometimes it's nice to not having to play the waiting game *tilts head and smiles*

Solo.... you'll know when I'm in the country.... (wow, that was obscure)


James.... don't make me come over there ~_^

In all fairness

It's not fair that I have to wait 2 months until I can get The Last Samurai !! ;____;

What ? >:o

You were expecting an update, or something ? *glares*

My desperation for this particular movie aside, I'm doing pretty good. The weather is perfect (sunshine and pleasant temperatures, with a little bit of wind) and I feel positive ^__^

I'll use the rest of this post to comment on your comments from my last post :p

Shin: Very good approach, I must remember to adapt it *nods*

Queen Asuka: Aww, that is quite common among professional dancers, isn't it ? *gives her an ice-cream bucket* It'll cool your knee down and you can eat the ice-cream ! ^__^

Panda: That is positively sweeeeeet !!! *giggles*

DDG: Hehe, while some of those games are fun to play.... yeah, the pain afterwards is not very fun -_-;;;

Rustym: Yes, computers are evil when they're evil. All the other time they're pretty nice to hang out with ^_^

Kinetic: We must not forget to stretch !

Des: Uh-huh ~_^

Juuthena: That seems to be case for everyone ! (the bowling alley being at least 1 hour away, I mean) So not fair ;_;

And yeah, I would've taken several long baths... but we don't have a tub =\

Baron: You are evil for not getting sore :p

My overall physical condition is a bit weak at the moment. I've lost loads of weight, but haven't spent that much time on getting my muscles back. So any kind of physical activity will get me sore. Vrooooom ^_^


So. Have I forgotten to include anything that you wanted to read here ?

*huggles*

Oh, right. Update ^_^;

Eh, my body is a bit sore. I completely forgot to stretch before the bowling and obviously I didn't stretch enough after *groans*
Not to mention my fingers hurt if I type too much. It dawned pretty quickly on me how much I use my nails and not my actual fingertips when I hit the keys *lol*


I'm slowly catching up on Naruto, but my computer is being a bit naughty and it started to stall a lot for some reason *grumbles* It's probably because of a few factors that I can sort out though.

Episodes 51-60 is up next. But I was thinking... Instead of downloading that batch, I could buy the DVD box (with episodes 50-76) and begin downloading the ones after (77 and onwards). Because at this rate Naruto is really growing on me and it'd be fun to have all those DVD boxes, hehe. Feel free to give me your opinion _^_


And just now my brain stopped working, haha. I could sit here for a while longer, stare at the screen, think about all the things I'm thinking of and attempt to write it down... but I won't :p

Take Care Everyone !

This is Dave Gahan. He's a member of Depeche Mode, but has a solo career too.

*lol* Also a way to start a post, I suppose. Haha.

Yesterday was wonderful, just like I thought/hoped it would be *beams* Hehe, I'm so giddy typing this *spins in chair* I'll try to keep it down to a minimum, so not to scare you :p

The morning started off great, though I was a bit worried it would rain. But the sun pierced through the clouds and made the bus ride very pleasant. Apart from my cd-player running out of batteries less than halfway and having to run to catch the connecting bus *lol*
I had some time to kill when I arrived, since my sister had gotten some hours as a sub of all things. There were plenty of shops that were suitable for browsing, so that solved itself.

I looked at some stickers (which made me think of Sara) with butterfly people on them. They were the only stickers that came off as somewhat original, though there were some pretty ladybug ones *smiles* In that part of the shop was also all the stationary stuff, books and so on. For a moment I toyed with the idea [I've had for years] of having some kind of guestbook, or friends book, sent around to various people to sign and scribble in. Hehe.

My next stop was the cd store that was closing down and had a sale. Massive Attack popped into my head and sure enough, they had a copy of Mezzanine. As I waited for the guy to find the cd, my eyes landed on a wall with a couple of postcard sized images. Mr Dave Gahan posed on one of them (it was the same one I posted at the top). I immediately thought that if everything had to go, surely that included those postcards ? Mimmi is not usually a cheeky person, but yesterday was an exception :p

So I left with Mezzanine and Dave Gahan >:D

The only thing I didn't pick up, that I sort of wanted to, was this huge teddy bear in a toy shop. It has never occurred to me how expensive those things are. I mean, sure, they're given away as #1 prizes at those lottery/knock things down- booths, but is it really fair to cash in on peoples want to cuddle such a cuddable thing in the privacy of their own homes and not in the toy store ?..... moving along.


Time had come to bowl. My sister finally got off work and we made it to the bowling alley. It was still a few minutes away from when our lane would be accessible though, so we sat down at a table and chatted away. Almost simultaneously we noted that they had an Air Hockey table tucked away in a quiet corner and it was decided that it should be thrashed after our demolition of the lane ~_^

And you'll never guess what we called ourselves *grins* It was my sister who came up with it and I thought it was brilliant ! I thought we'd just sign up with our names and that would be it, but she reminded me that we used to put really silly ones down. Of course, my brain was empty, so I left it up to her. Are you ready ?

Fritz (sister) and Pommez (me) ^_____^

That might not sound very funny to you all, but what if I tell you that French Fries is called "Pommes Frites" (pronounced fritz) in Swedish ? *giggles* Yesh, it all went to Giggle & Lol Town after that ;p

There were of course the mandatory jokes about 'balls'. Like when the kids on the lane next to us were trying to steal ours: "Hey, keep your hands off my balls !". Or the reference to FF X: "Wakka - Weapon = Balls". And what about "I've got my balls, do you have yours ?" as it was time to put them back *LOL* Ah, so many to mention. Hehehehehe.


We both got a few [and embarrassing] gutter balls, which were blamed on a disturbance in the force/atmosphere *cough*. There was enough strikes to save face, 8 strikes for me *celebrates* ! And plenty of laughs and high fives, naturally. It made me wonder how I could ever have forgotten how much fun bowling is. We played 3 series, but I could've easily gone on for much longer ^_^;;;

There will definitely be more scheduled days of mayhem in the bowling alley !!!

Playing Air Hockey after that was devastatingly fun, mostly because of all the hyperness (which bore a strong resemblance to times when Bubble Bobble has been in play). I laughed until I cried and I think my sister had a good time too _^_
It was nice to treat her and have a relaxed and fun day. Yes, I paid for everything.... feel free to adore me some more :p

Then it was time for me to catch my bus home, so we hugged our goodbyes and decided that we had to do this again sooooon *grins*
All the while home, I sat next to a sunsoaked window and played through Mezzanine, relishing in the wonderful day I had *happy sighs*

And now that it is time to end this post, I leave you with a warning that if I ever meet you, there should be bowling of some sorts going on and what might've been the highlight quote on Wednesday 12th of May:

"I think I just pulled my ass O.o" - Me

Hark ...

To take the edge of the previous post and to assure you that I am doing muchly better, I am putting this up. You can either answer in a way that reflects back to me, or just in general. It'd be fun to see your answers though, if you've got the time ^__^


~ Tell me something I should know.

~ Tell me something I need to remember.

~ Tell me something I would believe.

~ Tell me something I could keep.


~ You should know that you are all wonderful

~ You need to remember that you matter so much to me and other people

~ You better believe that you will always get a big dose of sillyness and love from me

~ You can keep this place in my heart

Ute

I'm feeling so much better now, which should be noticeable by my comments (yes, you're going to wish I never recovered *grins and spins on her chair*). Your support really helped to speed everything up !

I'm going bowling with my younger sister today, so I expect to have some fun ^_^

And as promised, here follows an explanatory word document that I put together last night.

~~~~~~~~~~~
I realise that you guys might be expecting my troubles to stem from something gargantous, so I don't know how you'll react. But there was this huge chain reaction going on, making everything spin a bit faster than normally. So, had this happened any other day or week… *shrugs* This post will deal with most of why I was in the state I was.


The week started off fairly decent. Monday was good. Tuesday started out alright, but I was really tired and had invested too much energy in things that weren't going anywhere. Then when Wednesday rolled by, I was sort of in between feeling ok and being a little downy. I was sitting in front of the computer and heard my older sister shuffling about, going back and forth from the computer/guest room and the rest of the house. After a while I figured I'd go out and ask how her day was going (since dad had teased me about how she and I can spend the whole day in the same house and never say hello). She was in the kitchen. Crying her eyes out and shaking like a leaf.

I ran over and hugged her, a little confused as to what was going on. She was so upset and I had no idea why. After holding her tightly, I let her go to catch her breath and asked if there was anything I could do. She just pulled away and shook her head. It still kills me to remember how absolutely devastated she looked. I didn't want to pressure her into talking to me, so I just watched her collect her things for work. All the while she tried to avoid talking to me. (I did ask her if she really should be working when she was this upset and she said she had to.)

Dad came home and I told him that she had been really upset, but I didn't know why. I figured that it'd be better if he talked to her, since they've always been close and he's the only one that can get anything out of her. A couple hours later, she returned home and dad confronted her. I was sitting in my room and couldn't hear much, aside from her sobbing.
So I put my headphones on and listened to music, not wanting to disturb or intrude.

Later on, dad came into my room and broke the news to me. Her husband had cheated on her. I though it was another one of his bad jokes, so I almost laughed... At least until I saw the look of utter hurt when he told me. It felt so absurd that the guy that had taken such good care of my sister; the guy we all got along with, that we least expected to do such a thing; would do something like this to her. What was even more painful was to know that she was going through hell and wouldn't let me be there for her.

That Wednesday night, when I was sitting out on the porch in the rain, she went out into the garage to get something. When she went back into the house, she closed the door (which can only be opened from inside the house) and in essence shut me out... she knew I was sitting there and maybe she was so distracted by everything going on, but she shut me out.


In order for you to understand why this is affecting me so much, I guess you'd need to know about my oldest sister. She married this complete jerk and for a while we were scared we'd lose her, because he'd gotten her down with what was basically mental abuse. A couple of times we undertook the 4 hour journey to ask her to come home, so we could take care of her and help her heal up. Each time we went home and she stayed.

So while that horrible nightmare was going on, it was really nice to know that the other married sister was ok. It balanced things out.


There are so many thoughts ignited by all this, locking into other thoughts and feelings, memories and dreams. All I've managed to get down is 'What happens to all the fun plans I made up for summer that was going to help me feel so much better ?'. Everything else is a blur. Most of it centres around trust and love though.


It's been an emotionally draining week. And that's only saying half of it. But talking about it is helping. With time and action on my part, it will all get even better *nods and smiles*

A little bit closer to home

[This is a further attempt to 'get myself sorted' and arriving at a place where I can talk about last week more openly. Bare with me.]

Eh, I took the post down because it felt seriously disoriented. Maybe I can salvage something from it and put up here again. Let me see what I can do.


"Anyway, I am slowly trying to get over last week. My habit of recoiling from people worked a little too well. Missing everyone only added to the miserability, heh.
In retrospect (which I expect to start any day now) I will kick myself for having gotten so down about it. But when you're in the middle of an emotional storm ... it's hard to think ahead to the point where the dust settles.

*inhales and exhales deeply*

Maybe I complicate things too much, but there are certain issues that will really make me react violently. And I don't mean that as in physically lashing out, but more along the lines of messing me up inside. Most of the time it can be related back to an event (or more) from the past, that traumatized me. I'd rather not go through those kind of moments again, even though I have experience and technically should be able to handle history repeating itself."


There, that's what mattered. I think we're getting somewhere. Eventually, haha. Thanks everyone for your patience *huggles*

EDIT: Hahaha, I've been seeing these quizzes all over the place and I just had to take a few. To lighten up the mood ^_^;;;
