Which Disney Princess am I? (Stolen from ladyxmoonlight ;)

(Real post that isn't a meme coming up soon. I promise. No really.)

Cinderella:
[] One of your parents is dead
[] You are expected to do a lot of chores
[] You love to dress up
[x] You love animals
[] You are waiting patiently for your Prince Charming (Oh I'm waiting, I'm just really not that patient about it)
[] Your mom is really strict
[] You have sisters who seem kind of jealous of you (I don't have any, but they would totally be jealous if they existed)
[] You’re afraid to speak your mind sometimes
[] You have left your shoes at a friend’s house before
[] You have blond hair
TOTAL: 1

( Saving your flists! )

And I'm Belle, it seems! That should fit pretty well, I think. XD
I probably would be the one to fall for the beast...who is a rather good looking beast as far as beasts go really. I mean. he could've had tentacles and slimy skin and 5 eyes. That'd be more beastly. Instead he's like... a cute lion on two legs.

yes, it's late, why do you ask? -.-

I still feel a bit tired, but not nearly as much and not to the point of not having any energy at all. I feel pretty good, except I get tired pretty early in the evening which is unlike me.

In other news I've come up with a plot for the Hermione Big Bang Challenge... aaaand:

1274 / 20000 words. 6% done!

:D :D

Also, please excuse my squeeing:
Football season starts up again tomorrow!
I caaaan't waaait. We're so damn excited :D

Heeeee!

I know it's not cred to like Coldplay anymore. What is now cred and popular is to be all 'omgz Coldplay is FAIL, y'all'. And I haven't even liked Coldplay that much before. But Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends is a damn amazing album. I love the stringarrangement on it, but I'm a string-lover in general considering I've played the violin for 12ish years.

I'm sitting here trying not to seat-dance too much and bring attention to myself. I failed a moment ago and I got some strange looks.
But seriously. I'm supposed to be writing my paper and it's not going so well.

Instead I sat here realising that Coldplay's song 42 should be my theme-song! For obvious reasons. And besides the obvious reasons it should be my theme-song because it's awesome and the lyrics are:

You didn’t get to heaven 
But you made it close, 

Which is what I suspect is my fate. I'm going to make it damn close, though, I'm sure. It'd be just my luck.

Oh dear Merlin, what you do to avoid working on papers.

I'm currently using a picture of Eddie Izzard as my display picture on MSN.
Today, I logged on and suddenly a window popped up and it turned out to be my cousin who lives in Sweden. I haven't seen or spoken to him since Christmas. The convo went like this:

Tord@work says (16:04):
cake? or death!!!!!!
-- Ingeborg -- says (16:04):
Cake, please!
Tord@work says (16:05):
I'm sorry, we're fresh out of cake
-- Ingeborg -- says (16:06):
So my choice is 'or death'?
Tord@work says (16:06):
chicken?
-- Ingeborg -- says (16:07):
Thank you for flying Church of England, cake or death!

I love my family.

Mia:
How does it feel to have protons colliding under your feet? *geeky grin*


Thanks for all the comments to my last entry everyone. I feel heaps better today.
One of the reasons is that Jen (woobiewoobywoo  <33) fixed me the CD! So, it's an illegal download, but when iTunes want to be bitches then that's how it has to be. I'm going to buy it and get him some well-deserved income when the CD comes out here, though.

He's amazing. I swear he's a God of some sort. The God of whispery acoustic songs and hushed goodness.

Dear Joshua Radin: I love you unhealthily. Please be immortal.

Reasons why you know you're studying pedagogics:
1. All gatherings where everyone are present for messages or special lectures has to involve a musical performance of some sort (preferably a mediocre one)
2. As much as possible must take place outside, cause teachers apparantly love fresh air above everything else.
3. Phrases such as 'building relations'' and 'bonding' is used in every other sentence.
4. Your introduction week consists of playing games (to build relations), sing/learn how to use your voice, draw leaves and cut them out on coloured paper (to build relations and learn problem solving), playing more games (this time outside) and telling stories.
5. Lectures in introduction week are always extremely wordy without actually saying much ("The term freedom, is neither here nor there. The freedom to...? The freedom from...? Either term connotes something different. blabaFREEDOMblabla")
6. You find that you actually enjoy doing all this (perhaps except the wordy speeches) and find your place in the group remarkably fast.

Who comments the most on my journal? :O

( We love stats! )

Random shit:

1. I could kill a man with the book we have to read on Judaism. It's obese and about 500 pages with tiny print. Ironically, Mette and I were pointing at it and laughing, feeling very sorry for the poor bastards who had to read that book...until we found out that would be us...My flatmate found this hysterically funny.

2. I read a little fic yesterday that was fucking hilarious without meaning to be, and that's always the funniest ones. I've been falling into fits of laughter periodically whenever I remember it, and I can't seem to stop. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a bad!fic in my entire life. I'm laughing so hard I can hardly type this. Oh god >.<

3. Ever since Christmas I've had Achmed the Dead Terrorist's version of Jingle Bells (Jingle Bombs :P) stuck in my head that I just keep randomly singing to myself. I just hope I don't sing it outloud without being aware. People will think I'm a nutcase. "Jingle Bombs, Jingle Bombs, mine blew up you see. Where are all the virgins that Bin Laden promised meeeee".

4. I decided to read 50 books in 2008 - until I thought it through an realised that's almost 1 fucking book a week. I'll never get that done, considering I have like a billion and 94 books to read for class. I've read 1, though. 49 to go XD

5. I'm gutted that it's 2008 cause I realised today as I was taking notes in a lecture that my 8s are really ugly. My 7s were so much prettier. That today is January 8th didn't help.

6. I feel like I just tricked Murphy's Law. I didn't have a pic for my new buspass, so I'd have to go downtown and get a picture taken, instead of just buying the thing at school. BUT now I managed to get my picture out of the old buspass, so I can just go up tomorrow at uni to get it done. MUWHAHAHH in your face, universe. (with my luck, they probably won't be there tomorrow. Maybe I should hold my laughter -.-)

Especially when exams keep closing in I'll get random panicky moments wishing someone would just run over me and spare me the feelings of hopelessness, the random screams when I realise I'm way too far behind and the beating of my head against the desk for being an imbecille.

Yet, there are always things worth living for. And no, I'm not speaking about the normal stuff; friends, and family and LOVE and PEACE FOR ALL.
This is just a very honest and somewhat random list of what frequently makes me think 'damn' it's good to be alive.

5. Cocoa (Hot Chocolate) on a day where cold reached 'hell freezes over' kind of cold
Hot Chocolate is just amazing all on its own, but when the temperature outside (from which you just came, most likely, considering the world likes to hate on you and the coldest days are always the ones where you simply cannot stay inside and mock from a safe distance) is simply out of this world. May also be mixed with one, several or all of the next items: a fire place, books, a blanket, a movie, MSN (might as well be social, right?) and other people.

4. The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)
Perhaps a very personal point from my own experience. There is hardly anything that reminds me more about how extraordinary the world and its strange quirks really are than the Northern Lights. I suspect this is the profound portion of this journal entry, cause what I'm about to say is that there really is something about walking outside in the dark while the green light literally dances across the sky. Pictures can never do it justice; and I'd be as bold as to say videos don't either. It has to be experienced. You have to be there, see it flicker, move, grow and decrease, intensify and then eventually disappear. It is truly one of the most beautiful things I know.

3. A gutshaking laugh
And I'm not thinking about the odd chuckle, or the appreciative 5-second laugh. I'm talking about the 'double over, clinging onto your friend to keep standing upright, wheezing uncomfortably from lack of air, stomach hurting, tears streaming, 'cannot take another breath, suffocating from the constant muscle work', full-blown work out' - kind. If this laugh appeared at random, for not apparant reason what so ever it is eeeven better.

2. Music
It makes you shake your booty, tap your foot, hang your head, think about profound thoughts of life, cry, smile, jump. Nothing controls the mood like music does, and it's wonderfully unique; no one reacts to the same songs the exact same ways. So when I hear that gituar riff that makes me go 'HOW DID I EVER LIVE WITHOUT THIS?' and leaves my stomach in an upproar of euphoria, there's no way in hell I'd leave this earth. I'd fight tooth and nail if Mr. Death came for me a bit too early. SHOO, I say!

1. Harry Potter
No honestly. I am not joking. What would our modern  day be without the phenomenon of Harry Potter? Yes, we would probably have been spared from Emma Watson's 'eyebrows gone wild', but we would all be oblivious to the world that goes beyond our own! There'd be no connection between us; whether you're a crazed fan online writing fanfiction until your hands bleed, an avid book reader getting in line for a midnight launch, a head-shaking bystander enthusiastically debating how much of a loser these rabid fans are or a conservative christian ready to whipe out anything even remotely interesting from the face of the earth.  The world can hereby be devided into three specific parts:
Those who love Harry Potter
Those who don't
And those who have wasted their lives refusing to open the books or watch the movies, living a life in horrific oblivion.

And lets face it... we wouldn't want to miss the dear souls who, for once in their life, comes upon an owl and runs after it screaming for it to come back with their Hogwarts letter.



:D
Happy living!

I'm sitting here at 3:30 AM eating chocolate pudding with vanilla sauce.
Man, my mum would so yell at me if she was here.

EW, drunk blogs. I need to avoid that in the future :| Makes me look like a pathetic ass. Last night wasn't all shit, I just make it sound like it was. We had fun, danced and stuff.

But before I went out Rosemarie and I were out shopping. I love meeting her and just shop/see a movie/have some food. We spent most of our time at H&M - more specifically their jewelry/hairstuff/make up department - and I got some hairbands and clips and stuff. I'm going to have to put my hair up more, it looks like such a bird's nest when it's down.

We had pizza at Dolly Dimple's (YUM) and then we went to 'Dromedar' for coffee. The coffee was super good AND the barista made nifty shapes in the foam:


That's Rosemarie's.

and this is mine:


Snagged the photos from her. The pictures I took with my phone came out really dark. :(

At least I'm not bored!
BUT I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO WRITE ON ANY OF MY FANFICS :( I've been neglecting them :(

My brother loves weapons. Not guns, though, but more medieval type weapons. Old looking knives and swords especially. So when we found these really medieval looking bows at a rennessance fair type thing, we just had to buy it for him. They were pretty expensive, but we got the cheapest one so it didn't turn out too bad.

Today we tried it out - cause he just came back from the second swimcamp yesterday - and it was loads of fun.
I've only tried it about twice before, and then only for a few minutes, but today we spent a good half hour just shooting towards this very homemade target.

The funny part was that my brother ended up getting annoyed cause it turned out I was better than him. I spent a few shots getting into it, but then he was completely stunned by the fact that I seemed to be better for some reason. I remember being surprisingly good at it the previous time too, now that I think back on it.

He just ended up shaking his head at my odd natural ability for archery, and it made me laugh about secretly being an elf. You know the Lord of the Rings type elf.

I told him I was known for splinching my own arrows (like Robin Hood) and that I was married to movie!Legolas. He just laughed at me. pft.
