I'm sorry for:

- not commenting much.

- not getting back yet to Guestbook signers and friending some new people.

- not commenting on the awesome comments you guys leave.


I have mad respect for:

- Panda. My body is the sorest it's ever been, for the longest it's ever been, and experiencing this kind of pain has quadrupled my awe of Gail.

- Carpenters. They work so hard on our house, are super nice/funny and are great at their craft.

- The Podcast Boys and their grammar skills.


Interesting facts:

- Part of the muscle in my left calf has gone numb. Very strange sensation >.>;

- I think we're moving into the house this week. It's a bit of a blur to me. As is the issue of internet over there.

- The soundtrack to "Sound of Music" keeps me from drooping into a pile of misery.

   All your powertools are belong to Mimmi

Right. You all remember yesterday? About the middle finger getting all caught up in a folding table (used for wallpapering, in case anyone wondered)? Well, the finger hurt for a couple of hours but -wow, I completely forgot this keyboard had batteries in them and that they could die on me- by the time dad headed out, around 6-ish in the evening, I decided to tag along.

While we're out running some errands the following conversation ensues.

Dad: So you're ready to stay until 11, maybe?.

Me: ...... Haha, that was a joke, right?

Dad: .... No? I'm going to continue tiling the utility room and it'll take me a while.

Me: ... Oh.

Seeing as our apartment is across town, thusly dissuading me from walking home,
I begrudgingly prepared for a long couple of hours. But lo! What happens then?!

First I jump into the role of a handy helper, passing dad the tiles. Then the process of putting gunk on the floor for the tiles catches my interest. This looks like it could be fun! While dad is busy aligning a tile I sneak over to the gunk tool and play a little with it. Ooooooooo! Me wants to do this!

It was pretty useless to fight me on the issue, especially since I didn't do much harm in the process, so I got to both slap on the gunk + put down tiles *beaming smile*

Lookit!

Not only did this mean a load was taken off of the old man's mind (the whole of downstairs will be tiled, which is a lot of work if he was to do it alone) but we also used up every drop of gunk and got home fairly early. WooT for team work :D

And today The Stair arrived. Thinking about it makes me purr. That's how delicious it is _^_

---

Ichigo: Eeee, cuddles! *snuggles back* Thanks, I need all I can get these days.

And you won't have to bring divine food to have a reason for visiting :p
Teaching me how to properly use s' vs 's will suffice >.>

Becky: Mmmmmmmmm, much better! It hit the spot ;)

Now I'm thinking about what it'd be like to have everyone over for dinner at my place, lol. The lovely insanity!

Shaow: You sweet rascal *giggles and hugs* Next time I have a dinner party in my dreams I'll be sure to save a seat for you!

Slick: Awwwww *huggles* I should get some bunny ears to put on you, just so I'd have more reasons to pet you XD

Though you're bound to be couddled to death by all the people you'll visit, mwuahahahaha.

I'm still sending Shanny my love!

- I told my parents off for being so quick to pick a fight. It felt weird but good. It's not fair that I work hard to keep the peace when they sieze every opportunity to give the other a poison stab.

- Today my flipping bird finger (*reads it again and dies laughing*) got caught in a folding table. It really hurt. Really really hurt. My fingers were already battered and swollen but since when does that mean anything?! Grrr on it.

- Last night I dreamt that Ichigo and Batou hung out with me. We even went to my old house to have dinner with the rest of my family. It was great fun. Ichigo being cheekily well-mannered while Batou generously served up sweet irony with everything he said. For one reason or another Ichigo had brought a dish that tasted divine, so much so that I ate almost all of it! Ah gluttony, tasty art thou.

- I need cuddles. My energy is at an all-time low. Time to fill up the empty reserves :3

Today I declare Trenchfare on dirt! .... Which day is it again?

Slick: Juuuuuuuuuuuune! I/we are gonna spoil you rotten. You have been warned :P

Shabam: *blushes* Mimmi is very proud of Shabam, too. You're a real hard working lady and the little I do is nothing compared to your endeavours! :3

Rouge Tigress: XD My subject title for this post is derived from reading your comment slightly off. And Trenchfared I have! Too much, too >.>

Schulzer: Would it surprise you that I'm an IKEA-holic? Just thinking about all those flatpacks makes my eyes sparkle *_*

Shaow: Juuuuuuuune! lol. We'd both better rest up, eh? *huggles*

John: >:-*

Ouchies. My back felt like is was about to snap in half, ala "Species" (only not as high up), this weekend. And today I nearly completed the TRENCH all by myself. Except dad came home early. Bastard ruined my surprise ¬¬ Then he insisted on finishing it. BUT! I can still say I dug half a trench all by myself!! You could even hear my back scream it if you leaned in close enough. Eeeeeheheheheeh.....*

Tomorrow I take it easy and paint the upstairs living room. Hopefully by myself so I won't have to put up with dad's fluctuating mood swings, trigger-happy bickering or general energy-draining presence. If you think I'm immature and impossible .... yeah.



*I know I'm pushing myself way too hard right now, no bashing to the head with blunt or sharp objects >.>
*flees from the overprotective furious mob*

You may call me Bunny. Bulldozer Bunny ~_^



There's a pipe that needs to be put 60 centimeters below the surface of the soil and it will go along the length of the carport and then some. I think dad said it was something like 15 meters, all in all.

Today was another brilliant day for outdoor work so I missed the bus unintentionally, walked the 10 minute walk to the bus central, hopped on line 1 and had resolutely made up my mind I would be digging as much as possible before dad came home from work. Upon arrival at the house it looked like that would be just a .... pipe dream *snort chukle*

You see, for once dad had decided to be responsible with our tools and they were now in the storage part of the car port. Locked in. I did not have the key. There was nothing to do inside the house (that I knew of/could do) and little else to do on the outside. So after doing the little I called dad who tried to think of things to do.

And then! A flash of realization! The keys were within my grasp! Grasp them I did! (Dad believed the carpenters would show up today, in which case they'd need the keys, and had thusly put them in a place where they could be found but not be an open invitation to burglars to rob us blind of power tools. For realz this time.)

With shovel in my hand and a back still sore from the other trench we dug the other day (from house to garage port), I pounced on the earthy soil with a vengeance >:D

We calculated I dug about 1/4 of the way. All by myself. *beams with pride*

It felt like I'd dug a whole lot longer while in the trench, than when I looked at it from the street. Still. 1/4.

I also painted the utility room once, returned to help dad dig, then we both shifted a large heap of wood before painting the utility again, after which we headed home. My back is soooooo sore ^_^;

---

Schulters: Hey hey hey now. I do believe I bothered you about taking pictures already ~_^

*makes goofy faces*

Shaow: :O! *hides Janko* Must feel 100% or bad things will happen! Aside from sore muscles I'm doing pretty well, physically, so be proud ;p

Cheshie: CareBears!!! You're two notches cooler now :p

Jude Law as God? .... I say nay XP *hides from fangirls*

Keiziness: *is without a soul* It kinda goes without saying that a plushie collection of mine would be cute, ne? I bet yours is dripping with suave freshness ~_^

Shabam: *sends out her Plushie army to snoggle aplenty* It makes me more hopeful about the medical profession to know that a wonderful human being such as yourself is going to improve the poor state it's in _^_ It's not all bad then.

MC: Hehe, he does look all puffed up and important XD Schnookums takes the job of Care Keeper very seriously so he'll be happy to hear his status mirrors that ;)

Becksy-roo: *tucks you in* I'd absolutely attempt to sing you a lullaby in tune, if ever the chance arose!

La Cuddly Familia! (Not related to Cuddy in any way, shape or form.) I took way too many and these ones came out best ^_^;



- UBC bear, Frog wallet and "Sooty" are from Slick :3
- Über adorable sheep with black hooves is from Sara :3

- Labrador doggie, sleeping bear with pillow, dopey sheep next to UBC bear, are all presents from Mom :3
- Gromit was given to me from Eleine :D
- Janko was a gift from Angela :3

- All the other sweeties have been picked up by me from various places :-)

- The elephant can be attached to a fridge by the trunk XD!!!! And by its front .... uhm... paws/whatever.

- The lady bug is wearing a bracelet with my name on it. The sleeping bear is wearing a necklace with half of my name on it, lol.



Spotlight on Janko!

---

Keilicious: As always you hit the nail on the head ^_^ "It's useless, isn't it..." was mainly what I was looking for but it's good to have the other alternatives for future reference :D

*Janko blushes and wiggles nose at Kei*

Faroe: She's talking about DaggerIX1, also known as Sarah, who's a news reporter here on theO. She's also very prolific in Japanese, manga, manwa and many other areas ^_^

Awww, that's sad about your sis. Hopefully it'll heal up nicely. And in the meantime she can play the pity card to get attention/yummies ;D

Schults: What dreams? Nani? :p High fives for naps as well as resting up!

Cheshire Madness: Hmmmm, stairs are always interesting in dreams. Both in themselves and the environment they're in *nod nod* Man, I could spend hours looking into what dreams may or may not hint to ^_^;

Moneys for the win! It'll work out somehow, hopefully. In the meantime I just gotta crack down on my expenses *steers clear from DVD sites* >.> Lemme know where you upload your bunny picture, though, so I'll have somewhere to visit instead :D

Liam: ;_____; I'm sending mucho love over to you. Why is it that all the lovely people get sick?! It prevents you from spreading happiness to the rest of the world =(

..... You'd better seize the opportunity and get people to take good care of you in the meantime *stern look*

Shabamalamarama: Not to rag on the whole medical field but yeah, there aren't many that don't suck :x And at the same time you learn about new, fantastic, ways to help the human body. It's all very conflicted :-/

Besides the cold? Well. I'm hanging in there. One of these days I really need to get my act together or I fear Slick will hide in my closet and come charging out in full-protection-frenzy-mode whenever the blues strikes a note on my heartstrings ;p

Beckaloopa: Ooooo, Arigato! It just hit me that I'm terrible at spelling in any language XD!!! But I get by with a little help from my friends ;3

Hey! Why bother with clothes when you blind people with your wonderfulness anyway? *cough* Am very much looking forward to pictures from the con you're going to :D (Not that I expect you to be naked in them, that is.)

- I FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLL!


- Turns out I [might have] had a chest infection that put pressure on my breathing apparatus. Apparently it could be easily solved by going to the pharmacy and buy a medication that contained ibuprofen. So basically my visit to the doctor, the money and time I spent there, was utterly pointless. Whoppeee. Oh well.

- How does one spell "Mudane, deska"? This is pretty much pointed at KEI <3, because she's got some killer Japanese talent on her side. And she's also superbly amazing with deciphering my poor attempts at explaining what I'm trying to write XD!

- Dreams have been weird lately. Yesterday it was mainly about me putting up ceiling tiles in this really cool building. Talk about dreams mirroring reality. It's a good thing that's not always the case, though. Especially not when you dream your dad's killed your mom and then commited suicide, and then you spend the rest of the dream trying desperately to go back in time to understand what happened/try to prevent it (only to learn more disturbing stuff). Ack. High time for some love-love dreams, methinks!

- Been thinking about going to the social wellfare office to mooch moneys off of them. I've still got some income but nowhere near enough to live on. Will talk it through with mom and dad to see what the best course of action would be *nod nod* (And no, the place where I got a call from hasn't been in touch with me. Dunno if that's some sort of sign on their part or just a fact that I won't be interesting until summer starts kicking in for realz *shrugs*)

- I don't want to think about when the time comes for my "adopted" family to move. Specifically because I know in my heart communication will be non-existant. It already is with the guy (Tobias) who moved recently. It'll be no different with the rest of them, even though the parents might indulge the poor little sap that I am for a while.

- My sister Angela (1. Eleine 2. Angela 3. Juliette) bought me this little knitted bunny recently. It's white with brown eyes, nose... Eh, instead of trying to describe it I'll just take a picture of it soon and show you guys. I call her Janko. She sits on one of the computer speakers.

- L.

Schultz: Check! I've tried to re-incorporate afternoon naps, but right now they're renovating in the apartment directly under ours. Naps will conquer!

Lublex: Which is why you shouldn't leave me alone! And also why I continue to jump into your pocket _^_

Slick: ..... Hm, I wonder where the ones you've been told about exists. *pinches mouth shut* Maybe it's just my very bad experience with doctors talking but finding a really good doctor is an undertaking out of this world. One that I'm not gonna take up -.-

So next time I feel ill, I'll just go to the pharmacy and buy some Ibuprofen stuffs, go home and stuff myself with that + goodies + anime! A miracle cure D:

Molls: *melts* Just thinking about that spa makes me feel all relaxed and fluffy inside _^_ You treat me and I treat you in return :3

Becky-Boo: ..... *GETS WORSE* >___________________>

Becky: Silly school gets all the good slices of Becks before me ;_;

BUT! I get "Catalyst" >:D!!! Expect a comment of lurb within the next day or so ~_^

Le Tigress: Oui, it was very weird. And you know, my first thought was "Hmm, maybe one of the neighbours got tired of our diligent work ¬¬" XD

Keiplosion: "I've been pissy". It will never get old *giggles*

And thanks for helping me out with my Japanese ^_^; I couldn't remember the word for welcome so I said good morning (right?) instead XD;

Cheshire Madness: *giggles* Yeah, it's nice to spend some quality time with the old man, provided he's not pissy ;p

*makes note to self* Return the very nice Guestbook entry Cheshire Madness left :D

Slicky: I know! It takes way too long for shows to get over here :< (Doesn't help you gotta sift through the really bad ones too to get the gems >XP)

Hmmm, the idea of putting up a sign saying "Ninjas will [insert horrible things here] if you enter this house" on the door makes me giddy. Very giddy ~_^

Schultzer: Hoorah for picatoors! :D And have a great time at the con :3

*hums together a theme song for Slick and Schultz to kick some ass to* 8-D

---

- I'm having fun leaving endearing messages at Adam's myo. Way too much fun.

- Am really, really, really worn out. Spent most of today resting.

- Might've contracted an infection in a muscle situated close to the heart. Makes deep breathing difficult =.= (This has happened before, though in the past it's been related to heavy bouts of anxiety. I'm guessing stress + lots of physical labour is the culprit this time. It should straighten itself out.)

- Zzzzzzzzzzz.

   Welcome, Willkommen, Välkommen, Bien venue (?), Youkoso, etc.

Yes, you're all very welcome. Wink wink, nudge nudge ~_^


Commentary comments returneth :o

Becky: I need more Becky! Is school nibbling away at you really badly? :<

Molly: *cancels funeral* You're Love, you know that? And even if you did know, it doesn't hurt to state the obvious ;)

Schultz: In return I expect to see pictures from the con you're going to ~_^

Shaow: *massive hugs* I wuff you :3 I wish I could bottle up the positive vibes you're all sending and make myself feel better from them when sickness strikes!

Evilicious: *snaps fingers* I'll raise you 2 snogs and 5 snuffles! Love-Love to you!

Rouge Tiger: Hewwo there! :D Your powerful presence scared away the last of the icky sickness, I bet ;o

Sorry for not appearing much here lately. Suddenly dad's letting me work more at the house and it's been a great distraction from missing people, as well as a great learning experience. Power tools are fun *grins*

Though we had a break-in two days ago. The only things they took were two screwdrivers, which suggests it was kids with no brains - if we were talking hard-core criminals there wouldn't have been a single power tool left. No damage was done either, except for dad and his mood. It swung pretty rapidly, dragging me down with it. It's hard to feel upbeat when someone's being pissy, lol.

(After watching House MD this week I'm in love with saying "I've been pissy" XD!!!)

But yesterday he'd cheered up, so working with him was ok again. Juliette (youngest sister) came by to help out. She surprised me by picking up the art of putting up ceiling tiles really fast. Though her balance was as bad as mine XD It's not easy keeping track of getting the tile in the right place, not falling over, making sure it's correctly positioned and then securing it to the ceiling; all on a narrow piece of board placed between two supporting supports.

Yay for us :p


What's not so yay is that earlier this week I managed to drop my phone from the second floor. It broke into a couple of pieces while my spirit crumbled quickly. With my finances not being set in stone right now I really didn't want to fork out money for a new one. HOWEVER! I put the broken pieces together again, they clicked into place and the phone still works O_O

Thank you Nokia D:


And that's all I've got time for right now. Dad's ready to swoosh me away to the house for some more child labour power-tooling.

<3 to Everyone!
