Just an O-O-O-O-Ordinary Day....

Hello, my duckies! How are you? I hope that you are well and loved.

Guess what? I got a hair cut! 'So what?' you may say. Well, tis an especially exciting since I went from having mid-back length hair to....this!

Bah, this pic thing is retarded. But yes, I have that hair! Except my sides are even and just long enough to tuck behind my ears. And the back is shorter, short enough to be spiky. I LOVE SPIKY!!!! >giggle<>

We are currently sitting and watching an episode of "Legend of the Seeker". Tis a slightly corny show that we like despite it's...corniness. This episode is about the evil flesh-eating monster that was really the king who was protecting his kingdom but got killed and he had killed his queen as the monster so the throne was taken up by his daughter and the evil kingdom of D'Hara will invade and take over the kingdom unless the monster was alive and now that it is dead they have to keep pretending that the monster is alive and...tis just a mess. But they will make sure that it will turn out all right in the end. Of course they will. This is, after all, Television.

Did I tell yall that I really love Taylor Swift's Love Story? I do. She is awesome, at least with that song. I don't know any of her other songs. I have one of her CDs on hold at the library, but I am thus far at least 100th on the list. Go figure.

Saw the Twi movie. Don't tell anyone. Twas good, but I love the book better.

Anything else exciting? School ends in a couple of weeks. I have a job lined up for the summer being a mother's helper for my sister Jenni. I *am* excited about that. I will get a regular income, and Mom is taking half for college expenses. The regular income part is good for keeping up my *new* haircut. :D So all in all, that is a good thing.

I think I have to go now. >sigh<>

Farewell. For now. >impish grin<

Of Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax....

Hello, my dearests! How are you? I hope that you are well, and that you are strong in spirit, mind, body, spirit, soul, and heart-wise. How am I? Well, I am fantabulous, now that I am here.
I have found myself a new fondness for fairy tales. Not the Disney kind, (though you all *know* that I am *quite* fond of 'Beauty and the Beast'), but Irish stuff. Like, O.R. Melling. I recently discovered her. She is an excellent authoress. I like her Chronicles of Faerie (spelling?) series, which isn't lame like it sounds. And I like the Hallowmere series. (OH MY WORD CORRINE SHOULD TOTALLY GO WITH THE PRINCE!!!) Stuff like that.
Music? I still like Blackmore's Night. (The Circle. I love that song.) I still love Joshy and Hayley. I like some Dido. 'White Flag', 'Slide', 'Hunter'. Oh, and Hayley's 'Who Painted the Moon Black?' is awesome. I love it.
OOOOH!!! For books? Tamora Pierce. I am especially fond of her "The Immortals" quartet. You should totally check it out. Daine and Numair rock. And "Trickster's Choice" books. There are only two of those, instead of her usual four. But they are good too. But you should read all of the Tortall books if you want to get the full effect. There are about 4 series-es (???) of Tortall.

The Song of the Lioness quartet.
The Immortals quartet.
Protector of the Small quartet.
(And as far as I know...)
Trickster's Choice duet.

READ THEM!!!

Anyhoo, so, basically, I have been living off books for the past while. At least they were good books, for the most part. And it isn't like living off books is a bad thing. Not at all! But still.
Stink! I think that I have to go. I am having dinner at my sister Jenni's house, and tis time to grace the table. But I shall write sooner rather than later, my love(s). Be sure not to be damp in this somewhat inclement weather that will soon lead to flowers in May. (Lame ending, I know, but I am hungry! Give me a break!) >giggle<
Adiue! Know that I love thee!
Farewell.

Just Random Thoughts

So, it is the New Year now. Mazeltov!!! Sorry to my Russian readers that I flatter myself that I have. Wow, I am getting slap-happy. It is almost 8 o'clock now. Are you suprised that I am tired this early? Are you worrying for my health? Fond readers. >beams< No, tis just that my fam is watching my brother and sister-in-law's kids while they are out of town. For the week. Oi.
Not that they are bad kids!!!! It is just, they are really young and are really highly energized and one of them is sleeping in my room. But I love them. They have their cute moments. :D
So, anyway, after that scenic rabbit's trail, we come back to the original point. New Year. 2009. Does anyone else find that 2009 is more angular, more strict and stern than 2008? Look at them side by side. 2008 2009. See? 2008 seems somehow more forgiving. Maybe you are thinking "???. Why does this matter?". Maybe some of you get it.
Despite thinking that 2008 seems better than 2009, most ways, I am sooo glad to be rid of 2008. 2008 had some of the worst times of my life in it, and I am *not* being melodramatic. The other thing about 2009? It is crisper, sharper, and cleaner. It is all about the homey, sweet/sharp scent of lemon soap that you use to wash dishes or mop the floor with. It is all about making something new. A whole new year. Doesn't that thought invigorate you? Charge your blood with an electricity that pushes you to try something new? Or fix something in your life that desperately needed fixing? It does for me.
Do you think that love lasts forever? A dear friend of mine just learned that in some ways, it doesn't. And she is hurting really badly. And I might as well let you know that the married couples that I know hardly have idyllic relationships. Hahaha. That is somewhat of an understatement. Anyway, for such a romantic that you know all too well that I am, it is sad. I mean, I thought that...well, never mind what I thought. The think about this blog is that I blab way too much. Don't worry, darlings, it isn't you fault. It is me. To go off on another rabbit trail, I am an empathizer. I hear things and I actually get depressed. Tis a trifle lame, I know it! But that's how I am. Anyhoo, but I was just wondering about that.
Love. Eternal or Superficial? The World May Never Know.
>laughs< Otay, tis time for me to get off. Adieu, my loves! Don't catch cold! Be sure to wrap yourselves up properly when you go outside into the bitter cold! Or if you live where it is ever sunny, be sure to put on enough sunscreen! Be sure to remember that my love ever follows you in spirit!

Of All Things.

Once upon a time, there was a fat bunny. His name was Pumpernickel. Pumpernickel loved carrots. Pumpernickel ate too many carrots. That was why he was fat. Pumpernickel the Fat Bunny lived out his life, eating too many carrots and being happier for it, and then he died.
The End.
Don't you wish that you could live as simple a life as Pumpernickel? I must confess that sometimes, I do. But then I realize, if that was all that happened in my life, eating too much of my favorite foods and being happy, wouldn't that life be boring? I mean, think about it. Think about a book. What is it that makes up a book? Yes, I know words, smart-aleck. ;) But it is conflict. If you don't have any conflict, than you have a suckumentary. Life is like books that way.
So, Barack Obama was voted president a couple of days ago. Now, I shall take this opportunity to horribly OFFEND some of my readers. I was totally rallying for McCain. >dodges flying debris< YES, IT IS TRUE!!! But I mostly did it for Sarah Palin. I must confess, that I reallyreallyreallyREALLY like her. I hope that she runs for president next time so that I can vote for her. But anyhoo, Barack Obama. I cannot like him. And I know that this will be taken as a racist comment even though I really couldn't care less whether he was black or white, but he looks rather like a monkey. I mean, look at him! His ears are what do it. They stick out just enough, and they are roundish. Thus, a monkey. But otherwise, I cannot make myself care about him. In truth, I can't abide politics. Do you? Maybe. But I just want president-elect Obama to GO AWAY. Along with all the other stupid, self-important people who are into the political scene. Just fade into the background and do your job, instead of worrying about dumb things and worrying ME about things I presently do not need to worry about. There.
There was something else I was going to write about. Let me think. Ah. I love this song. It is 'I'm Kissing You'. I haven't heard it in forever, actually. But it is so pretty. This is going to sound *SO* stupid, but hey, what are blogs for? Anyway, (grr.) I feel like I am ready to fall in love. There. I said it. it is probably my liking for such songs as 'I'm Kissing You' that do it. But, nevertheless(spelling?), that is how I feel. Lame, huh? If I have/had any male readers, they are probably gagging now. Heck, I would be. Alright, on to the next subject.
My feet are freezing. Oh no. Dinnertime. >sigh<. I must go. Farewell, my loves. Know that I love thee, despite all that part us, etc. :D

Long Time No See

HELLO, MY LOVES!!!!! I am back!! I am soooo sorry that I haven't written in forever, but my Dad had grounded me, and so I couldn't get on, but, here I am! Yay!!! >does happy dance<
So, anyway. Basically, my life is fine. School is going okay. No great tragedies have happened. Just monotony.
What to write of? Oh, I am claiming temporary insanity for when I started that knitting blog. Urgh, how pointless! Others can do it and get away with it, making it nice and everything, but me? NO. I would be bored stiff. Now to figure out how to delete it. :D
Hmmm. Books? Same ole, same ole. Music? I have discovered Blackamore's Night. I like Ghost of a Rose. Listen to it. It is like a fairytale set to a song. Very cool. Movies/TV? Burn Notice. An awesome show. Michael is hot, in a sarcastic, I-know-everything-and-it-only-makes-me-hotter way. Especially when he has the sunglasses. >blushes and moves on<
Oh, Josh Groban sings like a demi-god. Just so you know. I am listening to his live version of So She Dances. Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. >drifts for a moment in Happiness Land<
My little sister is annoying. Wow, do I sound like a pre-teen with a SUPERSECRETDIARY!!!!! or what? But honestly, she reads what I have written and then proceeds to critique. "You think Michael's hot? He looks like a monkey!" That was an actual quote. But I love her. >rolls eyes at self<
Okay, this version of So She Dances is not as good as his non-live one. Sorry, but the truth. Oh well. At least I have the other one on my MP3 so I can listen to it again, and again, and again, and again, and oh my word, did he just try to do a weird Elvis-did-this-but-I-do-it-better thing? No, not him. And who put Charlotte Church on here?!?! She is a nasty nasal Welsh little thing, and I have NO opinion of her. Sniff.
Okay, on to lighter things. OH! I have started my Christmas knitting. Did you think I would give that up so quickly? Ha! No. I have officially finished one (1) Christmas gift. I cannot tell you whose it is or what it is yet, because that person might read this blog and that would RUIN THE SUPRISE. No RUINing of THE SUPRISE. But it is beautiful. I am so fond of it.
There is no justice in the world. I have an operatic soprano voice and I have to like all of the people who have alto and tenor voices. There is no way to sing along. I weep dreadfully at the meloncholy idea.
I think that is all for now. I know, I don't want to go. But I have nothing sane to say. Nothing insane either. :( Oh well. I will be back soon. I am confident of that. Weep you not, my fairest ones. Know that Hannah love's thee!! Adieu!!!
