Whoa, it's a New Year !
Though it still feels like December, so I'm gonna keep deluding myself that it is ;p

Thanks to all the people in the crazy OB-chats, you made up for a lot of dullness. This was probably--- scratch that, it was the best ending of a Year, in many ways ^_^
The room certainly was vibrating with laughter and love ~_^

So… how was my year, in retrospective ?
It was a year like any other – stuff happened, other stuff didn't. Same 'ol ^_^
Let's leave it at that and move on, shall we : )

---

I finished reading "Tale of Time City" (Dianna Wynne Jones) yesterday… It was due back Monday*cough* *lol*

I don't know if it's because I haven't read anything for 6 months, but I actually had to drag myself through the first couple of chapters *cough*

The grammar, punctuations and sentence structure was… appalling. That might sound like a pretty big word, but it just made me cringe reading the beginning.
I was forced to read some sentences more than twice, which frustrates me to no end (particularly since my eyes tend to skip rows of lines anyway and makes me read over, in order to understand anything).

Sometimes things were left out and sort of mentioned in passing, as if you were supposed to know it anyway.

It didn't feel detailed enough, but I haven't read many books lately so I could be expecting too much *shrugs*

But the feeling I got was the same in the original, as when I read it in Swedish.
Now, of course, I have to read it in Swedish again… just to compare ^_^

"Tale of Time City" is the only book that both I and my sisters have read and re-read. When I was younger, I'd try to read it once a year.
That's how much I liked it *lol*

---

Anyway, here come the Skirt ~^__^~
I haven't worn one for quite some time, cause they'd never fit me and only make me grumpy. But yesterday I tried one out and it fit rather nicely ^_^


Yep, she's in a skirt :p


And here's a "full frontal" ~_^


Broody pictures rock ;p
Though my black hair does not ~_^
*makes appointment with hair dressers*

---

Well, I need to go see "Return of the King" and many other movies. (yes, I still haven't seen it *pouts*)
As well as spend some time with my family *lol*



So take care of yourselves, have fun ! And I promise to comment more at your O's, right after I kick my sister out of the computer/guest room ~_^

"I recall Central Park in fall.
How you tore your dress, what a mess, I confess.... it all."

A few people have dropped comments that suggest I have skill with html...
Are you guys trying to tell me something, or am I not listening ? ~_^

My muscles are sooooo sore today, from building the snowfort yesterday. So if anyone wants to give me a massage ^_^

Dad helped me out a fair bit and he actually seemed to enjoy it. Not once did he throw a fit, or get annoyed with my ditzy little self ^_^
It's not like we bonded and had a hilarious time.
There was more of a "you're here, I'm here and here we are" kind of feeling *lol*

Before you gape at the pictures and envy me too much *cough* I would like to point out that "size does not matter". Regardless of what people say ~_^


Yeah, I decided to pull out two buckets of paint and color my creation. White is sometimes an understatement......
And if anyone buys that, I will eat my halo ~_^



Behold, my fort !
I swear it looks more impressive when you're actually standing in front of it *cough*



I persuaded Dad to buy some... marshmallows, or whatever they're called.
He came back with 2.... *pout*

---

My younger sister will be home any minute now and put a serious dent in my internet addiction ~_~
The internet is only hooked up to the computer in the spare guestroom *sobs*
I tried to arrange for my own comp to get in on the internet action, but it'll have to wait until at least Friday *sigh*

And Dagger; I hereby make you my 1st Assistant in the Cookie Mistress wonderful Staff.
Make me proud ;p



I love Ye All !

I am teh Cookie Mistress
Ladies and Gentlemen.

I am barely awake, but the feverish inspiration refused to let me sleep. (the snow plough didn't help either *cough*)

So I shall post my little something, then figure out how to format it into the Introduction.

I hope I haven't built up too much anticipation.... yes, right ~_^
And as always I fiddle around with the color, seeing as I can't .... O_o ... Now that's an idea.... *writes is down for further thought*

.............Carry on !.............

---

"Reflections on my image of myself...."
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

---

All I had in the beginning was "I am a wave" but it called out so frantically to me.... what was I to do, but respond ? ^_^

It is still snowing and I am willing to share any snow that isn't needed for my snowfort ^__^
Yesss, I am seriously considering, when things calm down, to build a little fort-like thing *bounce bounce*


But first I need sleep.
I love you's all !

[insert image of Albert Einstein... or the image of a professor-esque type of person, who has wild hair and eyes sparkling with the knowledge that their brain is working at something magically, bursting to come out and embrace the world and smitting it with gloriousness]

I have a cold.... or something similar to it.
So, take no note of me for the moment.
I have a little poem I'm working on that will probably end up as my Introduction, dealing with... myself *lol*

I'll say no more than that for the time being.

~_^

It is snowing buckets outside.
Or someone has a serious case of dandruff ;p

Reading PT and Mitch's posts feels like listening to my parents argue.
My parents both speak the same language, but somehow manage to not understand a word of what the other is saying.
They don't really speak to eachother when they're arguing, rather at eachother.

And there I'll be, in between.

**********
When I was really young, I would run and hide whenever the bickering started. The intensity in their voices lead me to believe that someone would get hurt.
To this day, I loathe people raising their voices when it is uncalled for.

I'm not sure if I was born with the atmospherical awareness I have today, or if it emerged from those early years of absorbing the world around me.
Either way, I am excruciatingly aware of changes in the atmosphere.
My radar, so to speak, will pick up everything and process it. Sometimes I don't even know I'm doing it.
It enables me to avoid, or take charge of things before they get out of control.
But it is also very draining, to constantly be on guard around people. At least, "irl". *sighs*

It can be really interesting at times, to sit with the two of them (my parents) and translate what the other is saying. Rarely do they listen to what is said, but how it is said.
There's a constant reading between the lines, when in most cases there's nothing to discover.
But because they look for it, they'll assume they've found something.

I'm sure my family would make an excellent case study in communication.
**********
I try to stay out of the "battle" between Mitch and PT, since it's really none of my business.
And yet I feel as though I am betraying both of them.

I don't want to be a tool between them. They are both dear to me, in some way or another.
It's not easy avoiding the mines in a field which is unknown territory, so I fear that I will slip and fall.
And the tension is doing me no good, nor is it nourishing my relation to these two people, whom I am looking forward to befriend further.

**********

So yeah.
I'm open for business, just don't break anything that can't be refunded…
Or something…
