Noooooooo !
Ok.... I checked up on the time the movie would start, right ?
It said in the paper that it would start 19.30, right ?

WRONG !

It began at 19.00, and so when we arrived at 19.25 it had already started -____-

What did we do ? Did we stand there and sulk, shout profanity, vandalize general buildings, cry our hearts out and make complete fools of ourselves ?!

....no ~_^

Instead, we marched to the nearest store, bought "Pirates of the Carribean", all the candy we could carry and got dad to drive us back home - then proceeded to hook up a dvd-player to the bigscreen tv in the living room, turned off all the lights, churned up the volume to earthquake level and had ourselves a merry 'ol time !!!!


Why look sad when you can look at Johnny Depp ? ~_^

This will be remembered as the day Captain Jack Sparrow saved the day !!

High Five !
I have 5 books to read, probably more dvd's to look at, my room to tidy up, a story to read through, my hair to wash, "The last Samurai" tonight to look forward to....

and I feel bored *lol*
I know it's the cold doing this, so I'm confident I'll be energized in an hour or so again *rolls eyes and laughs*

I read Mitch's "The Pig of the Machine" and I cried. The Beauty and Sadness completely took over me and I wept.
The poem did much the same.
(I'm downloading Paranoid Android as I type this, by the way. I shall listen to it tomorrow)


My younger sister came home yesterday, she was down and so dad took the car and drove her here. I'm not sure what's going on, but it doesn't seem like I can do anything to help. So I'm trying to not concern myself too much with the whole situation.

Edit: Took down that quiz image, it irked me ^_^;
I got Protector, which was oddly fitting. Fitting oddly. Or something.

And thanks for all the comments guys ! *huggles everyone* /Edit

But anyway, the song finished downloading and so now I end this rambly post and go off, contemplating what to tackle first on my long list of "things to try and do" ^__^


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

I wuv you all !

[I edited in some stuff at the bottom]
I have a cold, my older sister hasn't called to say when she'll be home

– BUT-

the sun is shining, my inbox had a very nice e-mail in it this morning, I spoke to my oldest sister about visiting her and she can't wait to have me over ^__^

I also did this little message below, using a card I was given a few years back (from my oldest sister actually *lol*). I fiddled with it and put it here – to show my love to all of my fellow Otaku's ^___^

And NO, it is not a Valentine's card. Despite the appearance =P
(I simply had nothing interesting to write about >_>;)




Take care - Lots of Love !

- Mimmi

EDIT

Solo: I need to drool over your cd's O.o

Arcadia: Anything for you Badness ~_^

Rustym: Hehe, you're probably right ^_^;

Dagger: I will see it twice, just for you ! ;)

Liam, Baron & CRH: Tease[es] ! I am so coming over to put you all straight ! ~_^

Anatema: Doesn't it always feel so ?*nods in agreement*

SomeGuy: Tomorrow, tomorrow. I'll see it, tomorrow !!! Ooo, Annie moment there O.o;

Angel: *huggles* to ya ! ^_^

Today Mimmi had an adventure ^__^

Ok, so you all know dad wanted to "hang out" today ? Well, we opted for a shopping spree instead of going to the cinema (since "Finding Nemo" was only available in Swedish dub *cringe* )
Dad wanted to look for an MP3 player and I had nothing better to do *cough*
So we went to this nearby town and obviously didn't find any decent MP3 players (*rolls eyes*), but right next to the HI-FI store was another very interesting boutique ~_^

It had CD's, DVD's and even some books, and it was pretty much dead cheap ^__^
I started off just browsing about (since I can never seem to find stuff anyway) and the more I looked, the more I found *giggles*
But I managed to keep myself in check, even if I saw stuff not only for myself, but for a lot of other people ~_^

PT !

"Reservoir Dogs" DVD + "Pulp Fiction" DVD + a 20 pages long interview with Quentin Tarantino for 16 $ (or there about)


He probably has it, but it made me think of him ^_^
And I saw some Janis Joplin (my sister adores her) and plenty of stuff that I would love to get my hands on *grins* But anyway, I got:

* "Hook" DVD (Robin Williams)
* "Wind in the willows" VHS (Terry Gilliam and Co)<-- is it Gilliam or Jones ? =\
* And I also got 3 books by Stephen Donaldson ("The Mirror of her dreams" series)

Dad got two DVD's ("Don Quixote" and another one with Gerard Depardieu) which I had to pay for, since he didn't bring any money *LOL*
But it all added up to… about 25 $ or somewhere near that. Not too bad, me thinks ^__^
We tore ourselves from the shop (eventually) and figured we'd go to another HI-FI store to see if they had any good deals on dads newest fixation =P.
So we got into the car, drove off the parking lot and up to a roundabout. And what happened ?
The car died !
Luckily we hadn't gotten into the roundabout and could shove the car (and ourselves) out of harms way. Two guys helped with the shoving and an older man offered some advice on what might be the problem and how to sort it.
Dad figured/hoped that we'd run out of gas, and that filling the tank up a bit would sort things out. There was a gas station across the road, so we marched over and got some juice.
After filling the old heap of metal up, we tried to get it started... I don't know how many times, but enough to make you lose hope -_-

( I wasn't too worried though, there are plenty of buses and trains going between my town and the one we went to. So if the car decided to bail on us, we'd get home somehow >_> )

Just as we were about to give up – the car started O.o;

I suggested we go back home and dad agreed that it'd be best not to push our luck.
And that was the end to the little adventure, which wasn't a whole lot but still enough to be called a mini adventure >__>;

And we had pizza ! Always a great way to end an expedition, of any kind ~_^

---

That there is a picture of the Houses of Parliament.. in Canberra, if I remember correctly ^_^;
I was talking to someone on AIM and was shown that and it simply blew me away. So of course I had to put it on display here ~_^

It came up during a conversation about travelling, a subject that seems to be on my mind a lot these days. And upon seeing that picture I realised that I always want to go to another country, but I've barely seen my own. My sister lives in the capitol of Sweden, and I've only seen the train station, basically O_o

Sooo... I'm going to take advantage of having a sister who’s ridden with guilt for not spending enough time with her family and have her escort me about Stockholm ^___^
It'll probably only be a short day-tour, since there is no way I'll spend the night there, and I probably wouldn't have the energy to make a big deal out of it anyway =P
But the camera would come with me and the three of us could have a swell time together, I think ~_^

I'm also going to check up on the whole Northern Lights thing, since that would be such an awesome experience !

So thanks for the inspiration - I'll make sure to buy chocolate with me as a souvenir *wink*

---

"The last Samurai" is coming to the cinema in my town this weekend !!!! Which means I only have to spend money on the tickets (which are way less costly here, compared to other towns) !!!
It also means that I will be able to see it twice as much, if I want to ^_^
Badness Baby ~_^

I shall prevail !
Haha ! I might get another cold from walking around in freezing weather, but I care not !
And if you haven't spoken to me on AIM, I can inform you that I am feeling rather better ^__^
Speaking to you lovely MyO people truly warms my heart *gush gush*

Oh, and if you've not been to the Poetry Forum at OB lately, you need to haul your sorry behinds over there RIGHT NOW ! You would not believe the magic that is being worked over there right now (Arcadia, Shin, Mitch, Dagger, Raiha... to mention a few >_>;)


Who'd have guessed ?
My older sister is now talking about staying 1 year !!!! O_o
That's a whole lot more than 3 months... this is also about all I've heard on the subject matter, so we'll see what's going on.
Hehe, it sounds like I don't want her to stay longer... and maybe I don't >_>;
It's a bit difficult for my brain to apprehend that the sister that's been the farthest away (that I've not seen so much) will be around and for such a long time ^_^;
But I'm not going to think too much about it, since there are no details to this information as of yet.


Hm, my dad suggested that we do something tomorrow. Hang out, if you will. Another weird thing for my mind to grasp *lol* Like I've probably said before, my dad isn't really one to initiative socializing with his kids, so I'd better make every opportunity count.
Maybe I'll help him shop for a new gadget, but I'm hoping to sway him into seeing a movie – seeing as that will take the least toll on him :p

But I can't go see "The last Samurai" with him, because I wanted to see that one with my sister. So it looks like I'll see "Finding Nemo" again, something I don't object to at all ~_^
I should call my younger sister and invite her along as well, she could need a break from her stressed up life, I think.

Wouldn't you all just love to have me as a sibling ? ~_^ Teehee ^_^

Otakuness !
I don't know how many of you have gone through the HTML tutorial that's available now, but I seriously recommend reading it ! Here are some highlights from it:

" james is from australia! he must like crocs!"

"(this font combination of size 3 in red is known as the "kuja" combination - no need to remember that though ^_^) "

"I know this is your favorite part, theory is only so interesting before you want to get your fingers dirty. ^_^ "

"I'm now bold, slanted and tricky!"

"When I first started learning HTML, I dreamed of one day creating a tag that was named after me (Adam). I dreamed that it would be named , which would be the first letter of my first name..."

You crack me up Adam, you really do XD

---

I was thinking about starting a chat called " Got Pants ? " (*coughguesswhycough*) where people could drop by and donate their pants to my poor yearnful self =P
Or generally chat around, you know, whatever >__>;

But I think I'll just surf about, take things as they are and maybe randomly get up the nerve to casually IM people ^_^;

"Sweetness Follows"
I went for a walk, with my camera. The sun was shining radiantly and the wind was icy cold.
There's not a lot to hunt for in my town, but it was the journey to possible prey that mattered.
After a while the chill subsided and my body adapted to its environment. The lens and I bonded.

We strolled down a railroad track, alongside busy streets. Occasionally we decided to befriend a scenery, steal it to our memory.
We smiled at the thought of sharing this ordinary world, this familiar life, to the outsiders and welcome them across the border that differentiates us.

As human legs numbed and raging discomfort subsided, I felt at peace with myself. The confusion had been trapped into a roll of film, unsettling air had been drawn out by sun stained serenity.


I turned in the two rolls of film and they'll be ready next week. It actually doesn't matter if it turns out looking horrible, I only really went out to stress down.
Funny how the town I've lived in for 20 odd years can look different on each walk.
It's the same old houses, streets and corners – and yet I [re]discover places I've totally missed, ignored or even forgot all about.
The town is small, but it still has some charm left in it... to my eyes, at least ^_^


The hardware store is a fun place to randomly visit. My sister has a thingy that flattens hair, but it needed to be "re-plugged" (since Swedish sockets are different to those American ones) so we went there to see if they could help us out.
It's always interesting to see guys who work with electricity run around, consulting each other "Will this work ? What if we do like this" ^__^;


Now it's time for dinner and I'm so calm, compared to yesterday and this morning.
That makes it sound like I've been feeling awful, which I haven't... not really anyway. For some reason my body is just…. out of order *lol*


I truly appreciate all the loving words and thoughts you guys give me. And if you worry about me, then remember this:

I am a wave ...
upon quiet summer mornings, I stroke the sandy shores affectionately
as the winds grow harsh, I am carried to crash into the rugged cliffs

Fear not for this moving water ...
this powerful creature is harmless, desires only to smoothing the edges
simply let it wallow, give it time to fall back to its harboring chambers

I will be fine ...
for I have been born to a lioness, unchallenged in force and perseverance
countless battles made me strong, hones the footprints I intend to honor

Fear not for this unruly cub ...
these battle scars are worn with pride, marking the splendor of her survival
simply let her roam, give her time to grow into the vast space of land uncharted


Take Care Everyone !

" Now come on over and pick me up ! "
I'm beginning to really like writing with just the one shade of color :p

Bleh, my mom and dad both have lumbago (*tries not to laugh at funny word*), but since I don't know if that's the proper word I'll have to say "their backs really hurt and it could be because of a cold".
Not to mention the fact that my older sister has come down with something as well -_-

My own health is going up and down/back and forth. I'll be fine for a couple of hours and then I'll crash and burn.
Lying down usually helps, but it'd be nice if it just went away all together *pouts*


I watched most of Edward Scissorhands today, while washing my feet... (weird how dirty they get, even when you're not using them much :p )
I still have a couple of Disney DVD's that I should get round to, not to mention all the great movies that is due to be released soon *drools*
There's also the book that was supposed to be returned yesterday..... *cough*


As I went to bed last night I was trying to figure out what was going on inside my head, which turns out to be nothing and everything *rolls eyes*

For one, I feel.... clingy ?
I'm not sure that's the right word, although it is. Because I feel a need to be around people, I want their attention.
But at the same time, it's really nice to be on my own - to simply be.
It's what I'm used to and it feels weird trying to change that, even though every [living] cell in my body is pushing me in the direction of ... anyone, really.

(Maybe I should take a class in social behaviour :p )

At the same time as I'm thinking all this, I try to imagine what it'd be like if it were different. You know... if what I want is what I had.
That thought is usually thrown out the window the moment it tries to dawn on me, that's how foreign and rejected it is by my brain *lol*
It's actually not that funny... but laughing at it makes it less intimidating, less scary and hurtful.

I just want to wallow a bit, until I let it go.
Before I remember that life is alright the way it is, and it might change for the better - but it's no use going around wishing for it to happen. Neither is trying to force it to begin.


I have now come to the point where I have no idea what I just wrote, so I no longer feel downed by what spins inside of me.

And so I remind you all of how special you are, for that will never be forgotten ^_^

But I'm equally grateful for you, of course !)

Take Care Everyone !
