"Looks like Box had fun last night."

Mmmhhmmm, Box had a lot of fun last night ^_____^

**********

Lea was in a car accident yesterday, but from what I gathered when I spoke to her earlier today, she was alive.
She got a concussion – but she is alive.

Get better Angel !



[Playful Sarcasm]

I hate PT.

He has signed my Guestbook, written an intelligent post in my thread at OB, spoken to me on aim and now.... he has posted a soundfile on his MyO, with the cutest giggle in the world on it.

[insert muffled, desperate scream]

I will make him pay for this – count on that ~_^

[/Playful Sarcasm]



[Found an interesting article in the paper today, so I tried to translate it. Enjoy ^_^]


"Trendsetting psychopath scene"

It's become one of the most copied scene in movie history. An armed Robert de Niro, as the character Travis Bickle, looking at himself in the mirror and suddenly becoming disturbingly playful.

" You talking to me ? You talking to me ? Then who the hell else are you talking to ? You talking to me ? Well I'm the only one here? "

Not only have those exact phrases and the staring at the mirror been stolen since the movie premiered 1976 (lasts I saw it was in Patrice Leconts movie "Man on the train"), but the psychotic playfulness has also had its followers.
Just look at the psychopath Mr Blonde in Quentin Tarrantinos debut movie "Reservoir Dogs", who maliciously dances in front of his victim.

In a decently written new biography about Robert de Niro, written by author John Baxter, it is said that the scene was entirely improvised.
Scriptwriter Paul Shrader, who got inspiration to the script from his own vagabond life, had only written "Travis speaks to himself in the mirror".
There a difference in opinion in where the lines came from, some claim that de Niro got it from a comedian, while Baxter says that it was the improvisation classes with the legendary American drama coach Stella Adler that sprung into De Niros head during shooting the scene.

Either way, the scene is in many ways more frightening than the approaching bloodbaths.

War veteran Travis Bickle has decided to clear the streets from the trash he sees from his taxi at nights. This was triggered by his encounter with 2 women; Betsy, who works for a Presidential Candidate and Iris, a child prostitute in the hands of her pimp.
Travis takes Betsy to a porncinema (where the Swedish classic "The language of love" is shown), which frightens her.
After the miserably failed date, there is nothing left but revenge for the lonely Travis, who sums up his frame of mind like this:

" Loneliness has followed me my whole life, everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape, I'm God's lonely man. "

Today Martin Scorsese's dark vision of a land in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, is re-released in the cinemas.

I apologise if I got anything wrong, I've not seen this movie myself... yet ~_^

Take Care Everyone !

" Run little gum balls! Run! "

Gummi Bear, anywone ? ~__^

**********

I felt the need to clarify certain things, after the massive response I got to yesterdays post.

There is no need to worry about me, everything is fine here. I just felt an overwhelming need to scream at the top of my lungs that I care about people.

That they matter.

And how I wish that I could fly across the world in a nano-second and rid everyone of their troubles and heartaches.

Yesterday was a great day, but maybe it didn’t come off that way in the post =^_^=

I thank you all for the replies about the post and inquiries on how I'm doing.

"Do not fear this unruly cub" – remember ? ^_^
I'll post that at the end of this post, just to make my point even clearer *wink*

**********

I'd also like to thank the people who kept inviting me back into the chat and goof around with me ^_^

I hope Kaisuke got his bath in the end ~_^

I had the pleasure of speaking directly with Molly, an honor – I assure you *nods*

Azure came on briefly and I got to say Hi to him, which was nice ^_^
All the best with your studying Sweetheart ! *waves*

**********

This weekend I will finally get to see Return of the King !!!
My older sister and I will go and dad expressed (with a hint of a pout !) that he'd be somewhat interested in seeing it... O_O

He took me and my younger sister to see the two previous films, but I never got the impression that he actually wanted to see them.
He had the attitude of "Well, I drove this far and have nothing better to do. I might as well see them", so I just sort of stared at him when he dropped that hint yesterday *LOL*

But hey, if he actually wants to tag along – I sure won't stop him ^__^
(*cough*free ride*cough*) ~_^

Apart from the movie going / seeing, there'll be loads of baking happening !
Envy my kitchen ~_^;



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

**********

If ever I knew love, it would be you.
And if I knew you, then loved I'd be.

" Naked Mining guy and Box wake up "

This is the last Naked Mining Guy and Box picture.
It's been a blast sharing these two characters with you all !

As promised I am linking you to the place where I was introduced to the crazy pictures I've put on display here.

Boring3D

For those who wish for it, I will post the odd random picture in the future.
Save you the trip *wink* ^__^



[Personal Rant – A plea for sweet Angels with broken wings]

I wish people would be more responsible with their lives – themselves.
When it comes down to it, there is nothing I can do for you.

It's impossible for me to sort someone else out, no matter how badly I would want to do so. It would be unfair to expect that.

Is that selfish of me ? Am I cruel when I want people to pull together and take control ?

"It's not that easy", everyone says.

I know that ! I was one of those people who would cling to that sentence over and over.
Maybe I still am, to some degree.

But if you plan on holding onto your misery, why do you come to me ? For what reason do you involve me into something I am not accountable for ?

Especially if you have your mind set on repeating your pain...

It makes me furious to see – and maybe I am selfish.
It could very well be that I am looking out for myself first, not wanting to spiral endlessly in black holes.

I've had enough of this with my immediate family – myself, to tolerate any more.

So regardless of how painful it is to write this, I am left with no other option.
Because I want you to try, over and over - beyond and past the things that are hurting you.

Not for me, or anyone else.
For you alone.



"Oh Me! Oh Life!

Oh Me! Oh Life! of the questions of these recurring;
Of the endless trains of the faithless - of cities filled with the foolish
Of myself forever reproaching myself (for who more foolish than I, who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light -- of the objects mean -- of the struggle ever renew'd;
Of the poor results of all -- of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;
Of the empty and useless years of the rest -- with the rest me intertwined;

The question

Oh me! so sad, recurring -- What good among these, Oh me, Oh life?

Answer

That you are here -- that life exists, and identity;
That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse.

Contribute well, O me, O life.

- Walt Whitman

"I think someone should probably wake up Box and Naked Mining Guy"

There is one more picture in this Adventure and sadly that is it.
The artist behind Box and Naked Mining Guy hasn't produced any more.
I've e-mailed and asked if there's more to come in the future, but so far I've not heard anything :/

So tomorrow will be the last picture, along with the link to more random sillyness.
But if you're too lazy to go there, I could always post the odd picture here ^______^



IM and Chat

These past few days I've been a lot on AIM and in one particular chat.
Most of the time it was hilarious, my stomach probably won't recover fully from laughing so hard. A lot of people were on their best behaviour ~_^

Though.... and I hate to say this, there were low points.

I'll not go into detail about it, but I just got really annoyed and felt that it was ruining the chat.
Whoever started it was gracious enough to let everyone in on the fun and it was not respected at times, I felt.

Later on my thoughts spun further and I couldn't help but reflect on how I myself act.

It disturbed me to think that I might fall under the category Cringe.
I try to scope the feel of the room, so to speak, in order to avoid this sort of situation.
And if something doesn't feel appropriate, or someone feels pressured – then I back down and apologise

No worries.

The OB chats should have a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere
So I urge people, who find me disruptive to please say so. There is nothing I would despise more, than to become what I frown upon.

Charles made a really good point about all this. I suggest you go there and check it out – unless you've already done so ^_^

" It looks like everyone is all tired from days of chasing and being chased "

I have no idea who that guy in the previous post was, Arcadia ^__^;
But if anyone would like to suggest who it was, I'm all ears ~_^


~~~~~~~~~~

PT was in my Guestbook.

I feel complete....


~~~~~~~~~~

I've spent most of yesterday / today in an OB chat, so I can't make much sense at this point *__*
And no, I will not repeat some of the stuff that went on – the only thing I will say is that at some point someone started using me ~_^
I said and did things I would never do or say otherwise and I wash my hands off it *cough*




"Donnie Darko" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" came in the mail today !
My sisters and I celebrated by taking pictures of me posing with them ^____^

So if anyone posts a random post in my picture thread at OB, they shall find their way there *cough* >___>

" Box and Naked Mining Guy decide to see where the walkway leads "


Seeing as neither Box or Naked Mining Guy has pants, it's obviously not me coming after them >___>


*Gasp*

Charles was in my Guestbook - I feel dirty ~_^

......*looks at t-shirt*......

I knew hugging the Guestbook was a bad idea




Estrogene badly needs Testosterone -_-
About 2-3 hours after I wrote yesterdays entry, the following happened:

My sisters and I were sitting at the dinner table, listening to music I had found and wanted to share. We talked about books and movies, generally hanging out I guess.

Out of nowhere my younger sisters' face turns sour..... and you could almost physically see clouds forming over her head, waiting to strike someone with lightning.
She got up from the table and went into the guestroom, BLARED Muse songs and refused to say what was wrong.
We tried to gently approach her, but man – when she's in that mood, you just stay away. Seriously o.O

After a while she cut off the music and went for a walk... leaving me with some cryptic "I'm not as changed as I thought I was"..... which made me really confused, but what could I do ? She wouldn't tell me what was wrong, I asked her if I had upset her (because if I had, I wanted to apologise) but she said "no" and took her walk.

*resigned shrug*

Shortly after that, my older sister throws a tantrum – saying "Maybe I should just go back to that stupid island" etc.
We objected, of course, but she just ran back and forth with her stuff and muttered silly things.
But wait, it doesn't stop there ! -_-

My dad came out of his room, after spending a couple of hours playing Super Mario, wondering why we hadn't told him that a certain tv-show had started, 10 minutes earlier.

(This is something that happens frequently in my family, forgetting to notify others that a tv-show has begun. I've been subjected to it a fair amount.)

So I said "Well, now you know what it feels like" and he just turns around and walks back to his room, shutting the door firmly (after muttering some stuff as well).

In hindsight maybe I shouldn't have said that, but aarrrggghhhh !! People were throwing fits all over the place, there was no escaping it !!!

Mom and I just sort of sat there, looking at eachother. We both found the situation[s] ridiculous and since there was nothing we could do, really, to sort things out (younger sister still taking a walk, older sister running around and dad being notoriously bad-tempered) we decided to shake our heads and try to keep calm ourselves.
Which I did surprisingly well at, considering how sensitive I am to the mood fluxing like that *triumphant pose*

Now it's early next morning – Today.

I stayed in my room for most of the remaining evening, so I still have no clue as to what happened ^_^;
My younger sister was in a crappy mood when she arrived, so I guess it was bound to explode sooner or later.
The older sister is very... how to put it... high strung at times, so her throwing fits is to be expected ~_^

*throws arms in the air, exhales loudly, then tilts her head and pouts*

I baaaadly needed some testosterone to focus on yesterday, but I was unlucky in my hunt--- search >__>

Hopefully things will be sorted (whatever it is that's going on below the surface), so we can get on with it already ~_^

" Box and Naked Mining Guy find the top of the ladder after months of climbing "

A big round of applause for our two heroes !


Sweetness

Thanks for wishing me better health everyone, it makes me feel even better ^_^
It's funny, because I feel fine.. it's just that my head hurts and wants to trick me into thinking that I feel really bad *rolls eyes and makes twitchy faces* :p
I'll be a lot better once my body gets accustomed to the medication, so don't worry about me.
And there's lots of water bottles in the house, so I'll fill myself up with that (Thanks Juuthena) ^_^

Sisters are doing it for themselves ~_^

My two sisters (out of three) came home yesterday and the house was… energetic, vivacious, giddy – all in all, it feels great to have them here ^_^
In some ways it was as if no time had passed since we dropped my older sister off at the airport (which would be May, of last year) and there was no awkwardness at all. Whee !

She gave me "The Never Ending Story" (in English), a Baby Ruth ( "Goonies never say die !" ), a t-shirt with Son-Goku/Krillin on it and she also brought with her some bottle of chocolate scented bathing oil ^___^

Then of course there was lots of chattering and laughter, eating and trying out old pairs of pants ( I almost fit into a pair that's 1-2 size[s] smaller than the ones I recently got into ^___^ )

We're trying to make some sort of schedule on our movie expedition. There are so many movies to see and we'll probably spend many days going back and forth to the bigger cities, in order to see all the old ones ( Rotk, The last Samuraj etc ).
Not to mention the ones that'll be coming out while she's staying here ( Big Fish etc ).
My bills will suffer…. But it's for a good cause >___>



Clarification

About the "M likes to swing" picture…
It had a lot of hidden messages and I figured I'd list them all, just for fun ^_^

* First and foremost, it was a reply to PT's guess in Arcadia's poetry contest. I didn't want to clutter up the thread with a simple "teehee, yeah", so I put up that picture to subtly *cough* affirm things =^_^=

* And yes, Mitch came to mind as well. I had read his story, but not commented on it. Couldn't find a way. So it applies to him also.

*Lastly - A swing is something that reminds me of childhood and I'm still a very silly girl, so it was somewhat of a reflection of myself. And as we all know (which Mitch so acutely pointed out), a swing goes back and forth………

rocking us all
(sorry, I couldn't resist >__> )

" The wing walking hoola ball ladies must be what has Box so excited "

An aeroplane is pretty much a big fish-thing, flying in the sea of clouds…
So Arcadia gets 1 point ! ^_^



Generality

I had quite the headache last night, due to my medications getting stronger every month or so.
So my brain had me do all sorts of strange things: posting on OB, going to bed early *gasp* and posting a weird picture in here....

For those who didn't catch the hinted message behind that picture (which is close to what it states and yet not), pm me or something and I might enlight you ~_^

I went for a bus ride yesterday, to the town my younger sister lives in, to catch up with her and break the cycle of monotonous everyday life.
As I was walking past the town square, a young girl approached me. She said she was an intern at a radio station and wanted to ask a few question.

The thing is, rarely do they say beforehand what they want to ask about and so it's very easy to feel like a complete idiot when they ask the simplest of things >__>

Basically she wanted to know if I wore a cap/hat (which I don't, I use earmuffs) and why I wasn't wearing anything on my head at that moment (it was -10 Celsius and freezing).
The reason I wasn't wearing them was that I had spent most of my time inside the mall, 2 minutes prior to meeting her ~_^ 2 minutes later, they were comforting my ears :p

The sun was shining… which it has these past 2 days, but yesterday it was truly shining !
Which makes me very happy ^_^
So I met up with my sister, had some pizza and went home again :p




" Naked Mining Guy Goes Sky Diving "


And would you know...

Yesterday I posted at OB about communication and later that evening there was a documentary about … communication ~_^

There is another post that I'm working on and this morning there was a smaller article about…. stuff relating to the post in question ^_^;

Beware the Muffins

Once again, this is a site my sister talked about ages ago – today I browsed it…O_o
Check it out… If you dare ~_^

In light of things that are perhaps not evident, I give you this


" M likes to swing "

That's all I'm going to say…

I'm sure those with a figment of imagination can hear everything I withhold from this post ~_^
