I take the time to say ..... [Edited]

My mom's sister is having heart surgery today. She's had a heart murmur (I think it was) all her life, but for some reason or another the doctors decided that surgery was now inevitable.

She has a husband, daughter and twin boys, and I am certain that her mother (my grandma) would not get by without her.

Hopefully it'll go just fine, but it is heart surgery. It's surgery, period.

Grandma told mom that the surgery went ok and that they're keeping her in a respirator (standard procedure) until tomorrow. So far so good ^_^

Thanks for all the thoughts/prayers. I am beyond grateful to be part of this wonderful community *wipes tear*

Take Care Everyone !

*plots and plans* [Edited twice]

This isn't an actual, structured post. I just felt like posting *bubbly giggle*

About the FriendsTest. There's actually a devious plot behind it, believe it or not *nods halo-adorned head*

Like I said, I gave 5 points to the answers that would come automatically (at least if you've been around me for long enough, hehe).
But I gave 10 points on the answers that were more serious, or part of me that not many have been exposed to.

So this quiz served as a way for you all to get to know more of me, not feel like you don't know enough. Smart, huh ? ^___^
And since I have no life, I shall make another one ! Because I'm silly like that ;)

[EDIT]

It's on the same page as the last one, just scroll down a bit ^_^

"Further Trivial Mimmi-ness !"


[/EDIT]

[EDIT 2]
Nooooo =\ I just corrected some bugs in the first quiz (and the second one, sorry Sarah) but it doesn't look like it re-calculates the results. So if you want to take it again, let me know and I'll wipe the slate clean ^_^
[/EDIT 2]


Oh, and a little shout-out to SKEDY, who was brave enough to randomly IM me ^_^

*shameless plug*
And I posted a short little something at OB's Forum Literature (Thanks Shin for replying *grins*), so if you feel like helping me out with my writing/ grammar/ whatnot, it's called "Tainted Hands"

Bring me that horizon !

I stole this [idea] from Kinetix ^__^

Sort of to celebrate my ability to get over my bad moods *rolls eyes and winks*

And I tried to make it difficult, giving 5 points to the more silly approach and 10 points for ... well, I'm not sure one could call it serious approach ^__^;;
But anyway, try it out and have fun with it !

Habits are hard to break, but I'd rather break them than myself. [Edited]
Bleh, I really don't feel like writing this at all.

As you've noticed (and some have mentioned to me) this place has been lacking in the update department. Or at least it has if you're used to a daily post.

Apart from the fact that there's nothing to update about... well, that's a lie... and a truth... argh, I don't know.

I'm not sick (maybe a minor cold, but nothing prominent) and I doubt you could say that I'm depressed. There's just this feeling of .... not feeling good. As little sense as that makes.
And I know that it'll pass, so writing this seems silly. Unnecessary.

So, that's why I haven't been updating. And my commenting have been/is sporadic.

I've managed to keep a somewhat good spirit on AIM, but I figured it'd be better if I write what's going on with me here (however vague it might be), than to possibly break down on someone. Which makes it sound a lot worse than it actually is, but you know how it is when you take down those protective walls... Things tend to overpower you and become intensified when you unleash it on a person-to-person basis, compared to writing your thoughts down to no one but yourself.


And there you have it. Mimmi is a little bit down – but she'll be fine. No worries.

Not to mention that her raspberry cookies are delicious ^__^

---

MAJOR EDIT
I just want to make it perfectly clear that I was not complaining here. If you think that was comlaining, you ain't heard nothing.
No, I was simply stating the fact that I am a little down, meaning I'm not bouncing off the walls like I normally do. I felt that it was better to put it up here for everyone to see, than to constantly repeat it to people over AIM and possibly create greater concern.

I am perfectly aware of how great my life is and I relish in that fact every single day. Like I said, I know this will pass and so I'm not making a big fuss about it. It was just a way to get some perspective and distance, which we've all done at one point or another.

And Charmi, my thoughts are with you every day. They have been since we first talked and they will always be. Take care Liebling.

EDIT 2
It feels soo much better now. I needed to do this and all of the comments really helped out.

Azure, there's nothing like a ray of sun piercing a cloud-filled sky. Or moonlight on a dark night. *huggles*

Mitch, thanks for offering a point of perspective. It's important to remember the pain of others and help them when they are in need of assistance *nods*

Sarah, thank you too. A little wallowing never hurt anyone. Just as long as one knows when to stop *smiles* And I quite like the sound of Mimmy *giggles*

Angel: I feel a lot better ^_^

CrH: Now you know a little bit more about me ~_^

Kinetix: If you need to get stuff off your chest, I.. won't let you have mine, but you can lean on my shoulder ^_^;

Molly: And pass it does, thanks to the lovely people around here, such as yourself ^_^

Shin - if you won't fear my voice, then can you at least fear/be in awe of my persuasive ways ? ~_^

I got pizza + "The Last Samurai" OST !!!!
(I had to pay for it myself, but that's beside the point *cough*)

And dad invited me along to go see Jayhawks next week. Which means I could catch a movie before the show starts, since it doesn't "kick off" until 21.00 pm or something like that ^_____^
I don't know if he asked me because no one else could go with him, or if he figured it'd be a fun dad-daughter thing to do. Either way, I think I'll take him up on it, heh.

[EDIT 13 March]
He'd already planned to go with my older sister, which means I can settle for tagging along in the car and go see a movie instead. I wonder which one I'll see ~_^

The place where they'll be playing allows people to smoke and I doubt I could stand being attacked by that revolting smell for +2 hours >__<;;
[/EDIT 13 March]

And I've been meaning to bake cookies all week, but tomorrow it shall be done !

[2nd EDIT 13 March]
First batch of cookies are done. MMmmmmmmmMMM ~_^
I think I'll do another one, with raspberry jam in the middle ^____^
[/2nd EDIT 13 March]

I made a couple of silly sound bytes (as Azure called them)(hah, you're not the only one who can linky-link *winks*) for a few people, but since I'm to lazy to host them anywhere... I'll have to send them by e-mail or something >__>
It was immensly fun doing them, however odd it was hearing the sound of my voice :p


Sorry about the randomness of this post, but I am high on The Last Samurai OST _^_

Commenty comments

MC : I highly recommend seeing it, but then again... I'm completly and utterly in love with it, so there's some biasy here ;p

Shin : Ah, thank you ^__^

CRH : Rawr and squiggwy ~_^

Dagger : I learned a new word there, heh. And pizza never killed anyone.... the pizzas, sure. But never pizza ;p

Juuthena : *giggles* My family is pretty cookie-mad, so I've had years of practice. But if you can't make cookies yourself, then there's always the possibility of having others make them for you ;)

James : *munch* - *bats eyelashes and smirks* - *munch*

SomeGuy : You're a pal ! When I get something worthy of your hosting space, I'll come running and trip over my own feet ^____^

Solo : Cookies are not only fun to eat, but also to make *giggles*

ssj3borjan : I think I'll call you Bo from now on *nods* Cookies Rule !

Kinetix : That's a really useful tool when it comes to language, yeah. At least it should be when you overcome the fact that you're looking at/hearing yourself >__>;;

Unknown person : ... yes, do that *confused*

Pex : I feel for you =\ Do you have any other media-playing device ?

Testing, testing. One-two, one-two....

I've been hanging around Shin's myO too much. His lame ass-ness is rubbing off >>;;;

Ehm, so yeah... Some of you already know this, but others don't...

*whisper* I have a mic */whispers*

So if you have any requests, be it English or Swedish, lemme know and we'll see what happens :p

PS -

Azure: You're so sweet ! *huggles*

*giggles innocently*

So when I first checked, it looked like this:



then yesterday, I think, it looked like this:



So ... right now... I'm on top [of things] ~_^

Sorry, I couldn't help myself ;p


I've come to the realisation that I have a horrible Swedish accent when I speak English. But hopefully I will be able to work that off, with some practice ~_^

So I figure....
If life is adamant about giving me a hard time, I'm gonna have as much fun as I can.

Just to spite it ~_^



That's the amusement park in Gothenburg, Liseberg.
I will try my hardest to make sure that my sisters and I all go there together this summer. It might not happen, but I won't know until I've tried.

I will also save up and go places. For sure.

Spite away !!

"Though I am Young"

Though I am young and cannot tell
Either what love or death is well,
Yet I have heard they both bear darts,
And both do aim at human hearts;
And then again I have been told,
Love wounds with heat, and Death with cold;
So that I fear they do but bring
Extremes to touch, and mean one thing.

As in a ruin, we it call
One thing to be blown up, or fall;
Or to our end, like way may have,
By a flash of lightning, or a wave;
So Love's inflamed shaft or brand,
May kill as soon as Death's cold hand;
Except Love's fires the virtue have
To fright the frost out of the grave.

- Ben Jonson


I'm in an odd mood, so I'm avoiding writing here and talking to people. Sorry.

.... I'll be fine, as always ....

I badly need the OST to "The last Samurai" ;_;

Hehe, my younger sister loved the movie ! I wasn't quite sure she would, but she did ^__^
You all know how I feel about it, so I won't repeat it ;p

So yes, I'm sitting in front of my computer - very dizzy and delirious, with a silly grin on my face _^_


And I have to say that watching The Matrix again brought about a similar reaction.
I forgot to breathe a couple of times, which always indicates that the movie is good. It means that I'm so ingulfed/involved with the movie, that my brain puts all focus on taking in everything ... forgetting to send signals to other parts of my body ^_^;
Watching it also helped me with certain thoughts on "Reloaded", so I can't wait to see "Revolutions" now ~_^


But right now I'm feeling far too spaced out to make any sense, so Good Night/Good Morning and Auf wiederlich XD

.... I was about to say something, but I'll pretend that I forgot *shifty*
