My journal is now friends only. However, I was too lazy to friends lock all of my posts, so you will still see some posts before this entry.

Friends only. Comment to be added.

Be warned, I will only friend you if I talk to you on AIM first and get to know you. I like to have friends who actually like to talk to me. So if you've friended me for neccessity's sake or anything similar, fuck the hell off.

Love,
Maren

New lj layout. inkflowers. Plus new icon. Yes, I am a bit Anna Paquin obsessed at the moment. Oh well. :D

Must sleep.

*giggledead*

Instead of writing:
"Shift the pan like this and quickly flick the pan up"

I wrote:
"Shit the pan like this and quickly lick the pan up"

I wasn't looking at what I was typing on the screen as I was looking at the piece of paper upon which my log was. XD!! I think that has got to be a pretty funny typo.

I'm sooo horrible about e-mailing friends. I have a question. Who emails their friends on a regular basis? Am I the only one?

And wow, it started to snow again. It's been snowing on and off this whole weekend. Crazy. I think we got more snow now than in December. Hmm.

Yeah, this is spam-like. Who cares. Last night was very nice.

Tomorrow will be two weeks since the drunken night I want to forget but can't. O_O

I think I'm going to watch a cheesy children's video now. Warriors of Virtue. Yay.

I want to sleep.

Christopher Paolini’s abiding love of fantasy and science fiction inspired him to begin writing his debut novel, Eragon, when he graduated from high school at 15. Now 19, he lives with his family in Paradise Valley, Montana, where he is at work on Eldest, the next volume in the Inheritance trilogy.

I AM SO JEALOUS!!! NINETEEN?? I am nineteen! I guess this means I should start working on my fantasy novel too. Oh, and I really liked his book, too.

But still... so jealous.

At long last, with much delaying, here is the ficlet I promised you, Allie! It does indeed have the three words you gave me. :D It is unfinished, as my fingers were starting to cramp around the pen. However, tell me if you would like more.

( A day in the life. )

There. I feel more creative now. And OMG twenty minutes until I call Mandy! Ever since 7 pm, I have been counting down. I did nothing today, other than buy chocolate and a magazine, take a shower, and write. So nice! XD

The thought of tomorrow doesn't seem so bad, now. Let's see how it goes.

[Insert annoying self pity here that you don't really want to listen to]

I feel so uncreative and boring.

I woke up late today. This is bad. It means I have to go to bed before 12 am and hope that I get up at 7 am tomorrow, because I really must get used to waking up at this time again.

Bleh. Shower time now.

8. And a hint to who you are.

I'll try to guess, if I can.

The trip back from Glasgow with Emma was draining. Enough said. I'm tiiiired. *whines* I have a bit of a rest now, which I plan to stretch as long as possible. But I'm no longer working with Emma! I find that really strange to believe. :DDDD Okay, so I'm just a bit excited to work with Rebekah, but anyway.

Maaaandy, will you be online tonight? *crosses fingers*

I said goodbye to YouRi tonight as I am going to leave for Glasgow before she wakes up and thus will not have a chance tomorrow. I'm going to miss her a lot... Mornings with little Scott won't be the same. I'm happy I got to know her for the five months I did. And I'm not sad thinking of all our memories. I just think fondly of those times. Birgit came back and said hello to me and we talked for a couple of minutes. It was strange seeing her again after two weeks of not seeing her. But it was good. :DD

Mandy, this is for you:

( Part two. Natasha at the party and Colwyn 'Cole' at the band rehearsal. Once again, quite short. )

I have kitchen cleaning tomorrow at 10 am. Which means I have to go to bed within the next ten minutes. On Friday, I have to leave at 6/7 AM to take the train to Glasgow to get Emma, and then come back.

Oh, GIP! <3 to intestinalcrypt. *giggles* yay for Future AUs! :DDD Might I highly suggest the name Mordred for Slatero and Ronnie's son, Mandy. I just can't get it out of my head. I'm hopelessly stuck on it.

I got your package today, dramaturgy! <333 and thank you. :D There's nothing quite like American Original flavoured Starbursts. It reminds me of good times in high school, when either yuhoo or I would buy them and would give each other the flavours we liked.
Thank you muchly to everyone who ever sent me a letter or package. You are the coolest. <3

Oh, Mandy, I was searching through teen actor pictures and I found this boy, Andrew James Allen. He looks somewhat similiar to the picture of Slatero I have in my mind. It might take a bit to load, though.
( Here comes the son. )



Edit: Mandy: she might be too pretty, but I think Madeline Zima might be a good Natasha. Check evidence here.
( And here it is! )

I'm in such a weird mood. I love it. I blame it on the lateness factor, the high!Slatero playage, and my ENRIQUE cd. Muahha!

I GIGGLE AT LIFE. AND IT SMOOGAS ME BACK.

Okay, that nonsense was on purpose. But still. I feel like... dancing. or sleeping. or ogling at hot fictional characters.


Right, I am done now. YOu can go back to your regularly scheduled thing now.

Okay, I am SO going to NY, SO going to get that damned letter from the office.

But. WHAT THE FUCK.

First I hear my Allie could be going to NY. FIVE DAYS TOO EARLY. And then I find out that Brandon is taking a road trip. ON APRIL 10, WHEN HIS SPRING BREAK STARTS. Damn it, fuck it, shit it, aargh!!! Why does life suck so? Why can't I meet two cool people whom I desperately adore?!!!

On the plus side, I think I might be able to stay longer in NY... Hoh hoh. Am SO looking forward to spending time with you, yuhoo and weasleyluvr!!

Tomorrow, I'd better get that letter from the office or else I'll just have to storm into the travel agency and buy my ticket! If it's over three hundred and fifty pounds, I'll be very sad. So... yes, I will have to go tomorrow or Monday. And tomorrow I have to do cleaning of the washhouse and watering the plants and cleaning the fridge. (I'll split it over two days.)

Later today there's a Three Kings celebration/pantomime. I will go just to keep Sachiko company, as she doesn't want to go but is supporting Valera. So, yeah. Hopefully it will be nice.

I don't have much else to say, really, other than I am going to go out on Saturday and take nice pictures, and hopefully get started writing that fantasy story I have been planning for ages.

Today, I spent an hour and a half (at least) reading a book. That was strange. I hardly do that nowadays, because I just don't have the time. And can someone tell me why all the books I buy are women's fiction, aka romance novels with a "quirky" heroine who has a happy ending? Escapeism? Wishful thinking? Oh, and why do they put single apostraphes instead of quotation marks? I just don't understand.

What is nice about right now is that I am talking to Dorthe over MSN. She's not talking at the moment since she has an important im, but still. She just signed off right now, but I got to talk to her.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to have a new bank account starting tomorrow, depending on the time that I get a letter from the office. So, yeah. Thus, I get to cash my cheques and get enough money for a plane ticket to NY. Hooray.

I just can't get over the sexiness of my icon, which means I either have a unrequited obsession with Johnny Depp or I am getting slightly desperate. One can dream, eh?

Today I talked to fallingracefuly for the first time on AIM, and she totally rocks my socks. We have much in common. And I have appointed myself her fangirl, just because.

Tomorrow. Plan "Get Plane ticket and hair cut if possible" will commence. I have a bank appointment at noon. I just hope I can open it for real this time. I hate having to get a proof of address. I have a letter from the office, and I don't want to do any more.


Hee, such a cute icon.

Ooooh, Allie.... Check out the icon! :D It's what I imagine a mid-late twenties Theo would look like. Delicious, isn't he? *dies*

raven22 and nomkaz are online again! *hugs them both*

Okay, I have to go to bed earlyish because I have to wake up at 6 am to leave for Scotland. Yes, and then I have a week of nothing except the odd cleaning to do. I must get a bank account.

And hello to new people who are reading this, aka the cool Hana. I had a fun conversation with her, talking about inside jokes. WESOROCKOHYES.
Quote of the day:
Maren: Aww, I just realized how much I
miss(ed) talking to you.
Hana: :-D aww
Maren: Jason: CHRISILOVEYOU!
Maren: Jason: .....*returns to his
knitting*
Hana: Chris: Jason! Hem hem. Cease the
public display of affection. This is MANLY radio.
Hana: Manly men only. Haha
Maren: Jason: But this is off the record. Isn't it?
Hana: Remember M....
Hana: ...A...
Hana: ...H...
Hana: ...R...
Hana: TOTALLYMENRADIOMENONLYHEMHEMHEM.

Lots of caps were used in that conversation and made me realize how great our inside jokes were. We were so inventive, really. XD I feel bad for not keeping in contact with some of my good friends so often... Argh I suck at that. But I hope to be better. That should be a resolution of mine.

Along with, I should work hard at college, meet new friends, keep the old ones, and have as much fun as possible!
