Me me me meme.

I simply cannot resist memes. I guess it's all about feeling interviewed, and if I'm being interviewed it means I'm important, right? Sooo... Memes are one big ego trip. Which is allowed every once in a while.

So I'm stealing Karla's double meme today! Teehee *snicker*



1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was your first thought?
Where did that wrinkle come from? I don't need that! No, not really... I think I was thinking of making coffee. I recently discovered a brand of coffee I can actually brew and drink just like that, so no Nescafé satchets for me.
Anyway, I'm obsessing about making coffee in the morning now, that's my first thought. Yummm... Coffee.

2. Do you read while you’re in the bathroom?
Well, I used to read the labels on shampoo and soap when living at home because there was nothing to read. Nowadays we usually keep a magazine or a catalogue there. Although nothing too exciting because that will keep Love busy for hours. Me, I do my business and get out of there.

3. What’s a word that rhymes with “fit”?
Knit

4. Favorite planet?
Uranus (not really)

5. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list?
Uh... That requires me getting up and getting my cell phone. Too lazy, sorry. Probably my boss.

6. What is your favorite ring on your phone?
Right now I'm using Rammstein's "Zerstören" because it's POW there right on, not some lame long intro. And using "Landing in London" by 3 Doors Down as the alarm signal. Now that's a nice intro to wake up to.

7. What shirt are you wearing?
One with a zipper that turns the cleavage from daytime to very naughty. Together with pretty new bra... Hooray for january sales!

8. What were you doing 20 minutes ago?
Making Mozart kugeln for my mum. It's nougat with marzipan and then rolled in chocolate. Awfully sweet stuff, but she loves them.

9. Name the brand of shoes you’re currently wearing?
Fuzzy slippers. It's cold out!

10. Bright or Dark Rooms?
Depends on the purpose. And how bright is bright?

11. What do you think about the person who posted this survey?
Talking a lot about penises nowadays, but she's usually the evil I aspire to become. Still just an evil trainee... *sigh*

12. If you’re in a room with two beds, which one do you sleep in?
Whichever one fits a warm and cuddly Love and me.

13. What were you doing at exactly midnight last night?
Watching the last five minutes of "Cars"

14. What was your last text message you received on your cell?
No one has texted me in a couple of days now. But I think it was a friend who wanted to know how I was doing.

15. How do you like your eggs?
Very seldom. Omelette with cheese and smoked ham.

16. What’s a word/phrase that you say a lot?
"Yaksblood, yaksblood, woolly woolly yaksblood."

17. Who told you he/she loved you last?
Love

18. Last furry thing you touched?
The stuffed vacuum nozzle.

19. How many drugs have you done in the last three days?
None. Unless you count coffee. You should have asked me on december 26th though. The day before I had tried three different SERIOUS cough syrups and two without prescriptions before finally getting one that worked. I was practically seeing pink elephants.

20. How many rolls of film do you need to get developed?
None. I've gone digital.

21. Favorite age you have been so far?
Well, 23 has been kind of nice.

22. Your worst enemy?
Stupid customers

23. What wallpaper do you have on your desktop?
Right now I have a bright red Porsche Cayman <3<3<3
It's usually Love with one pig, or the road leading to my aunt's house.

24. What was the last thing you said to someone….
I told Love my cd tray won't release. Stupid piece of crap.

25. If you had to choose between a million dollars or to be able to fly?
If I could fly, I'd probably make a million dollars on doing exclusive shows and stuff, so of course, FLY.

26. Do you like someone?
Whaddyamean? Like... *giggle* like someone? Or people in general? I am usually friendly towards most people.

27. If you could punch one person in the face, who would it be?
Punching Paris Hilton sounds like fun. But there are a couple of men I'd love to kick in the nuts. That's more brutal.

28. What is the closest object to your left foot?
My other foot. Sheesh

29. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be.
I'd be less "work the last minute before the deadline".

30. If one thing about you could always remain the same, what would it be.
Don't know. My mind?





The "where were you?" meme....


1) Where were you when Armstrong first walked on the Moon?
Not born yet.

2) Where were you when you heard Princess Di had died?
Still living with my parents, watching the news with my mum.

3) Where were you on New Year’s Eve of 1999/2000?
I don't remember, actually. New Years isn't my thing.

4) Where were you on Sept.11, 2001?
At school. Or on my way home when it happened, that is. Heard it on the news when I got home.


5) Where were you when you first heard about the big 2004 Tsunami?
Watching the news in Love's parents' tv room. I was the only one there, so I had to tell the rest when they got home. At first the death tolls were estimated at 10 000. I remember that being so ironic when it turned out later to be many times that number.

6) Where were you when you first heard that Madonna would go on tour last year?
Eh... Don't know, don't care.

Say what?

I know this is from a humour show and they most likely edited together the worst of them, but seriously? I'm not sure if I find this hilarious or extremely frightening.

I need a penguin! ASAP!

No, not really. I mean, where would I keep it? And it would probably smell like fish all the time and I'd be all "huh, where does that fishy stink come from? Me? I showered this morning! Sheesh... it STINKS in here!"
Then again, it's cold and snowy outside. It could stay outside for a couple of months. After that, I would have to take it to work with me and put it in the dairy fridge room. Wonder how long that would last before customer complaints would force poor Pingu out of there...

Today has been the first really cold day this winter. We had -10 C here this morning, Mum further inland had -22. Brrrrr cold!

I had a quick glance at the grade outside this morning and suddenly felt a strong urge to skip class. My bed was also begging me to return to its warm, comfy duvets.
But nooo... I did the only decent thing to do. I went to school (well, Love drove me there to be exact, he didn't feel like walking 30 minutes for work today).
I do occasionally skip class on very vague excuses, but there has to be one such as "head ache" or "cough", not things such as "cold outside" or "couldn't get out of bed".
So today, sleepy and cold, I turned up for those two hours of repetitions I was very convinced I wouldn't get any benefit from simply because I was worried the others would think I was a lazy bum who didn't bother to show up for school.

I should have just stayed home. Turns out the professor was sick, so there was nothing going on there today.
And instead of spending the time reading and being a good student, I had coffee and a waffle with some fellow students who also showed up.

Oh well. At least I had some company. And it was, although cold, very pretty outside. Bright sunshine, crisp clear air, frosted trees and snow everywhere. If I hadn't been worried about my hands freezing onto the cell phone, I would have taken some photos for you.

Ehn... Just don't.

I know some of you might not be used to this kind of weather, and that also this year's weather is (a tad bit) wacky, and not all of you may have winter tyres. I also know that I shouldn't be smug in any way about this, because I've had my share of sliding around too.
But to you, person in the first car, who treats this weather as your personal demolition derby: please reconsider driving ever again.
Slippery, no traction or grip at all and then pedal to the metal? Seriously? GAH!

Yes, sometimes a little momentum is needed to get anywhere, but keep in mind momentum is only good for getting going. The safest approach is to snail along as slowly as you can, because you're sitting inside at least a ton and a half of metal and that will not stop when you want it to under these conditions. And if you have to make a turn, too bad... You would have more luck stopping your car completely, then getting out and pushing it into position.
Or better yet, leave the car at home and cancel your plans, have a cup of cocoa and read a dirty book.

Living room version 1.2

Today we got a new rug for the living room. We still like the look of the old one, but it's a cheap, IKEA rug that acts like a sponge on dirt and hair and... it's black. Which means it is impossible to keep it clean.

So I present to you, living room version 1.2. I uninstalled the old one by myself, and installed the new one immediately after.


It has new pillows and table cloths also, installed week ago. It's the first "major" change we've done since we moved in. Changed the rug and pillows from black to these colours that is. Hence the 1.2 name. It's not drastic enough to earn the 2.0 name.
At the moment we also have the expansion pack "Tulips" installed. It's a limited time software, unfortunately, so I'll try to enjoy it before it expires.

Not paying attention, apparently.

Yesterday we had an actual storm here. Guess who didn't notice anything!
The police had told people to stay indoors because of flying roof tiles and falling trees, but yours truly went to work as normal. And on my way home I suddenly noticed broken flagpoles and trees and trash everywhere. How did that happen? I mean, it was a bit windy, but falling trees? Huh?

When re-potting a green plant thingy yesterday, I suddenly had a writhing, wriggeling slimy worm in front of me. Ick! I'm not usually the hysterical type, but the primal instincts kicked in and I squealed like a little girl. Love had to remove it and flush it down the toilet before I could calm down. Geez... what would I have done without him?

Virgin no longer.

Holy cherry, Batman! She's a virgin no more!
A Rocky Horror Picture Show virgin that is.
Love and I watched it on DVD last night. It's been one of those movies I've heard references to every now and then and always wanted to check out. I'm a bit like that, if something is often referred to, I feel obliged to check it out simply to get it too, when someone's talking about it.
And RHPS is such a cult classic, I couldn't resist. Somehow I wish I had though... Because I've had the "Time Warp" playing in the back of my head all day.

So what did I think? I'm impressed! The story is not the best crafted one, and all in all it doesn't really make any sense at all. But the absurdity of it... Oh my! I'm a sucker for absurdity and obscure references.
Watching Love watch Dr. Frank N. Furter in all his gyrating glory was also worth a couple of points. He was half way hiding behind a hand, but at the same time sniggering. I'm not sure if I should be worried or not. He confessed he had watched the "Time Warp" scene a couple of times on YouTube today




It get's even better:



But the thing about this movie is the audience participation. It still runs in several theatres both in the US and here in Europe, and the audience shouts stuff and throws toast and rice around. Not to mention squirt with water guns, put on paper hats and dance. I'd love that. I would wear my Mickey Mouse ears and get really into it, I'm sure. Better practice my gyrating... *giggle*

Still breathing.

I won't whine today, I promise. At least I'll try not to. I don't really have a reason to whine (except I have a cold - bronchitis leftovers), so I'm not going to.
A couple of years back a friend of mine tried to make rules regarding whining. You were allowed one non-important whine each day, but as many important ones as you wanted (important being hunger, cold/hot, sleep).
I could never stick to that. I'm not really a complainer, but some days are just... blah.

But the good news is that I'm fit and jumping around again. Maybe not so much jumping, but at least I sleep well and I can walk around without feeling whoosy.

My new cell phone arrived as well. Love and I ordered matching ones because we found ones that cost practically nothing (but you have to pay so and so much every month for a year, which is still much cheaper than buying one full price). Love's old cell phone had passed on to the eternal cellular hunting fields, but my old was just... old. Still working, still doing what it was supposed to. But I wanted one with a camera that took half-way decent photos, because I always find myself somewhere wanting to take a photo and not having a camera. But a cell phone is always with you.
Soo... The last couple of days I've been playing around with it. Every time I get an SMS message, R2 D2 whistles at me and it's the cutest, nerdiest thing ever. And it has music as well! So today I'll try it on my way to school. Which I should be going now... damn I better hurry or I'll miss the buss!
