Currently listening to: The low, dramatic dialogue on 'NYPD Blue' on the TV

I understand excactly what you mean . There are just so many idiots that haven't got the foggiest of what they ought to pay respect for... My grandfather, Alan Reginald, also fought in the war. He survived it all but some years later he died of lung cancer - I never got the chance to meet him but my mum have told me all about him. Anyway, there are certain things even I know there's no reason to make a mockery of (Death, war, religion, etc.) I remember once in 2nd grade my class went to a graveyard, and then many of the kids started playing tag - they ran over graves, knocked over flower arrangements ... I got so made I screamed at them and actually wrestled a boy to the ground

Oh, and I also know what you mean with the small seats, long legs problem I have such ridiculous long legs I can't sit by my desk in the regular honorable 90 deegrees position, but stretch them out on the floor. Once Prof. Petter came in with a pile of books in his hands, tripped over my legs, nearly fell to the ground, saved the books he had let go up and straightened up, all in one quick movement . We all agreed that was an impressive feat, so we laughed and gave him a minor applause, and he put the books down and gave us a bow That was a fun class...

Me and Tine went to the city once again today. It rained, so we didn't do much... I hauled her into Tanum, which is one of the biggest books stores in town (one whole gigantic floor) I bought 'Harlequin on the Moon' since it was on sale (It's about the Commedia Dell'Arte - also a thing I've always been very fascinated by I love the characters like Arlecchino and Pedrolino) and she bought a book which, um , she and Daniel will look deeper into in intimacy... Then we went to the really comfy cafe called 'The Ugly Duckling' (only in Danish )

I took a look at your pictures I thought the way you have captured the almost divine lights playing with the detailed sheeps' coat was simply *sniff* too great for words Oh, and the file size actually froze my e-mail account, so I had to direct it to another account of mine. But that's a-okay

Oh, tell me how the Anthony Hopkins documentary was!

I thought that these quotes were somewhat appropriate:

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what."
-Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird, 1960

"Courage is being scared to death - but saddling up anyway."
-John Wayne

Currently listening to: 'Mercy mercy me' by Jeff Golub

The dead should be respected, especially those who gave everything so others could live I don't agree with war, but people who are willing to lay down their lives, so some fat politicians can settle their petty disputes, are worth remembering.
If you take a light hearted veiw then I see no harm in that, being deliberately disrespectful is unforgivable. Good for you on wrestling that boy to the ground, cocky idiot...

Ok, I want you to tell me about that book your sister bought. What do you mean by 'she and Daniel will look deeper into in intimacy...'? I'm so sweet and innocent I wouldn't know what you are talking about..
Commedia Dell'Arte?! We were doing some of that quite recently in Drama. I already knew about it but it was fun to play El Capitano I like the Zani's too, but I like Il Dottore. For no obvious reasons...

It's our school's summer fair on Sunday. Our class is doing candy floss Somehow I got roped into helping, I've never been to a single Summer fair in the 3 years I've been at STAGS. I'm running the stall along with Sarah, we decided we were going to mould them in shapes. We're going to make them in the shape of clouds, rabbits tails, cotton wool and long haired hamsters Entirely my idea... I demand the copy rights....

Arrgh! There are small children running about naked on my front garden! Oh my *looks in between her partially covered eyes* Their Mums are chasing them about, gosh they're fast for 3 year olds

Oops! Sorry, I had no idea it was that big! Next time I will send them to you one at a time. It will take a lot longer but won't freeze your e-mail account. I'm glad you got it in the end though. Oddly enough, the picture of my teacher didn't load And there was me saying 'depends on if the computer will scan in his face. It may object to doing so' and it did object!

I never got around to watching the Anthony Hopkins documentary. My Mum distracted me with questions and I never got to watch it. I'm putting it in the tape player as we speak! I promise to tell you all about it

Currently listening to: That evil kind of quiet ... Hang on a minute *Walks over to CD player* Ah! Now it's 'Hot Stuff' sung by a certain Michael Ball "...Looking for some hot stuff baby this evening! Yeah! I need hot love baby tonight..." Please don't tell anyone I listen to disco

Not much happening here at all I've just watched M*A*S*H on the TV, and I admit the old episodes still makes me giggle .

We once made a Commedia Dell'Arte troupe in our class. I played Pedrolino (but I think the only reason I was picked for that role was because I owned an old battered Perdolino-carneval comstume ) and some times I had to play Arlecchino. I still remember some of my lines "Oh! Sweet Columbine! If I can't have you, I swear I will take my life! I will take a knife and cut my throat! Er... That's maybe a bit drastic... Cut my wrist, perhaps? My finger? No, I'll take the hair..." I was really amazed by all the things an audience can laugh at.

Anecdote coming up : When I played in the Aristocats, we once had a really immature bunch of teenagers watching, and all along they made really rude, childish comments. In the big romantic scene where the heroine meets the hero, she mutters "There's all these strange feelings inside me..." and the response from the teenager was "Then maybe it's her period?" and the whole audience laughed . Meanwhile, on stage, we all wondered what she was going to do since her next line would coincidentally be "It feels like the blood is racing about in my body." and there was a slight pause... she turned to the hero... and cried out: "Woah! It feels like the adrenaline is racing about in my body!"
The show went on as normal, but backstage we really were in stitches. We were all expecting disaster and humiliation, but instead the heroine completely altered the whole scene! Oh, I guess you had to be there...

I gotta go now and cointinue doing nothing Tine is somewhere with Daniel, my parents are in a meeting... *Sigh* It's only me, the kitten, a collection of Michael Ball music videos and a box of Afer Eights

P.S: I forgot to congratulate with your SATS score! Congratulation!

Currently listening to: The dialogue to some soap or another... I'm not really paying much attention

Ha ha! Hey everybody, Tilde listens to disco *laughs and points along with a large crowd that has gathered* That's the funniest thing ever...

You are going to have to tell me about the book your sister bought sooner or later I'm a sick individual with too much time on her hands, I want to know all the gory details.

You know what? I STILL haven't gotten around to watching that Anthony Hopkins interview yet Seeing as my mother has plonked herself down on the sofa, and looks like she has no intention of moving, I may have to watch it tommorow. *sighs* I'm never going to get to watch this...

The leading lady handled it pretty well, I would have jumped into the audience and beat the snot out of the little punk, but that's just me I have been known to loose my temper with serious conciquences. I once even made a girl cry for the whole day She had been a complete female dog all day. She went behind my back and was gossiping like an old woman. I HATE people who gossip, which is why I got so wound up.

Thanks for you Congratulations but I am not actually pleased with my results, everyone seemed to do better than me I was hoping for all 7's. I had expected to get all sixes but I'm surprised at my actual results... oh I forgot to ask: What did you make of the test results I sent you back?

Enjoy your time alone. Throw yourself a party, get together some drink and food. Put on Micheal Ball, mingle with make believe guests. Invite Lestat, The phantom of the opera, Hannibal, Me, Francis D, Micheal B (Of course) and Ford Prefect has never been known to turn down an invite
It'll be fun but just make sure nobody sees you talking to us..they'll think you're crazy

Currently listening to: My mother's snoring ...

Okay, okay! I'll tell you about the book she bought! No need to twist my arm like that... Ouch . It's simply a ... it's a ... it's only a... a couple's guide to, you know... Intimacy... Private relationship... Oh, dash it: Kama Sutra! There. I said it. We both were giggling like maniacs when we bought it

Last night my mum, Tine and I had a real girls night. We peeled our skin (ouch ), drank tea and watched 'A.I.: Artificial Intelligence' while weeping like babies . Tine really didn't want to see it ("I'm sure it's boring...") but she was the one crying the most in the end. Such a beautiful ending ... And poor Gigolo Joe ... Though the story-line was a bit far-fetched.

Today my mum and I went to the big Toys'R'Us headquarter in Oslo. It was fun! We went through the age 3 and up and pressed every button we could find That's my mother allright... We got some funny looks from the staff, as always "Oh, look! This plays "Hey Diddle Diddle" when you pull the horse's tail! " In the end we bought some so-called super-bubbles. They're really strong. You just fill them with air, let them float around a bit and then you can catch them, toss them, whatever you like. But when they finally pop they leave quite a mess . Ah, it's worth it

I looked through the TV guide and I saw that the Norwegian channel TV4 shows 'Silence of the Lambs' tomorrow! That's really amazing, since TV4 in all other cases shows movies I can't stand... No wait - once they had "Hair" and "Hello, Dolly" too .

My party was a success. That was at least what all my guest thought Hannibal says Hi. No, actually "Hello, my dear. Want to join me with some fava beans and a nice chianti?"

I'm sick. I know . Gotta go now - Tine is in a BBQ party and sleepover tonight, so I get all the candy for myself !

Currently listening to: Wimbledon 2002! Venus Williams vs Serena Williams, I'm not sure who just won as I don't really care.

*Jumps into Hannibals arms* Yes! I'll bring the beans!! The documentary on Anthony Hopkins was VERY good. It talked about his life, his period of work in the theatre, his gratitude to Alcoholics Anonymous and even showed some filming from the set of Red Dragon! Yup, they're making it a film! I'm gonna be the first to see it *still stays suspended in Hannibals arms* I'm not getting down you know..

KAMA SUTRA!?! *lowers her voice* You mean to tell me that your sister bought it while she was with you? Surely it disturbs you to think of your sister.... ugh I couldn't stand it! Going and buying a book on... a... a couple's guide to, you know... Intimacy... with your sister for her use?! Are you not even the slightest bit bothered? Gosh you are so relaxed.

So besides the guests, what else made your party memorable? Did Micheal turn up or did he not show? I heard he was terribly excited when he heard that you were having a very exclusive shindig! *hugs up close to her cannibal * I'm very impressed with your party, I thought nobody could do anything this exclusive!

Cake anyone? *offers around * My Mum's been baking again. She's trying to perfect her babka recipe (I'm sure I'm spelling babka wrong) It's sweet bread, with raisins etc in it. *wipes the crumbs from Hannibals mouth* It's not bad really, It's just heavier than I am.

Woah! I want some of those super bubbles! Also: How exactly do you go about 'peeling your skin'? Um yes, poor old Gigolo Joe. Is he what I think he is...? It's the school fair tommorow! I'm selling candy floss, yay! I'm probably going to eat more than I sell. I certainly hope so...

It's time for dinner.*sniffs the air* Smells like spaghetti bolognaise in case you're interested...

Currently listening to: Tine's and mum's howls of laughter They're making balloon animals - and it's not going very well. We've bought 20 ballons and now we've made about 5 animals of them all. We have a poodle without head, a parrot without head, a bee wich looks rather good, a snake without body, and a sword which some of the parts popped, so it looks rather like a part of the male anatomy I really don't want to describe

Daniel just walked in, and he got a bit shocked seing his girlfrend with a ballon hat and making a poodle without a head

Hey, let's bring the party over to here! Why not go crazy with fun things? *Offers some to Erik, the Phantom of the Opera* Michael had to leave early, he's in a West End show after all So I'm with Erik instead. *Snuggles close to the mask-clad psycopath* Are you allright, Erik? No annoying little French hero-wannabes bothering you? *Grabs a piece of the babka *

Those super-bubbles are really fun ! We (my mum and I) was in this over-crowded restaurant when we suddenly started playing with the bubbles on a mad impulse . Problem was, from a distant no one saw the bubbles, only these two girls giggling, boxing in the air and crying out things like "Hurry! It's about to pop on the chair now!" When we were finished, the restaurant was nearly empty

And that book, you know, that my sister bought... I think they (Tine and Daniel) only wanted to look through it to get some laughs. They're very... silly both of them . And yes, Gigolo Joe is excactly what you think he is. Only a great deal more slick and better at dancing. Shocking, isn't it .

And how was the spaghetti bolognese? I really love that sort of thing, too bad I so seldom eat it. But today we're eating meatloaf! Yay! Meatloaf! Meatloaf! (You've heard me going on about meatloaf so I'll spare you this time )

Well, I gotta go. Oh, I don't know when the DNA-documentary is on. Gotta check the programme...

I love balloons, I just hate it when they pop. It scares me I always used to hate clowns and the balloon animals they made. It wasn't the animals that bothered me, it was the fact that they had been made by clowns *screams as a clown enters the room*
Which part of the male anatomy ? The eyes? Oh, and tell Daniel that I sympathise greatly. It must be awful dating a crazy person, I only know what it's like to be the crazy person

*snuggles up to Hannibal* I never actually got spaghetti bolognaise The mince I smelt was from the burgers I complained to my Mum and I get to have it tonight See Tilly, that's what you get for being an annoying moaner, spag bol!

The Summer fair went quite well. Our History teacher got put in the stocks and people got to throw stuff at him. He looked like a very sick bird had done a nasty somthing on his head The candy floss stall was a big mess, it got everywhere. All over the seats, the table, the customers, us...

There was a book stall at the fair, I was sauntering about along and across the rows of books when I saw somthing that caught my eye. It was 'The Vampire Armand' and it was in great condition! It looked like it had never been read, so I grabbed it and rushed up to the woman and asked her how much it was. She paused, flipped the book over, and finaly said "Um, 50p." WHAT! I nearly cried with happiness From the normal price of £5.99 that's a pretty good reduction. I also bought 'Carrie' by Stephen King for a further 50p. I was so happy I skipped all the way back to our seats

So my day was pretty good, how was yours?

Currently listening to: Some commercial on the TV...

I've just come back from watching 'Silence of the Lambs' . "Quid pro quo, Clarice. Quid pro quo..." What annoys me a bit is that it's meant to end really tantalizing and exhilirating "Oh, he's out and he only got revenge on his mind... and he's coloured his hair blonde! What will happen now? " and originally, it was made that way so the viewer would make his own assumptions and images... And when the sequel comes, it doesn't even touch upon what the original version ended with! Am I the only one that finds that a tad bit annoying? ... Of course, there are a lot more worse out there... A lot.

*Hides behind the tall, strong Phantom of the Opera* There, I hated to do it, but I did it. I love that movie, but I didn't care much for the sequel. Not the movie version anyhow. The book was great though... What?! They're shooting Red Dragon! How can I have missed such important news like that?! I gotta do more research...

How my day went? Lazy. Like a Sunday of mine should be My mum and I first taped the Douglas Adams documentary and then we went out to town. We just wandered aimlessly around without anything to do. The juggler I've allready told you about was there - none of us can remember his name so we wondered if we should go and ask for an autograph, but we didn't (We're chickens, I know )... And then a small bus for guided tours went past us without any passengers - the guide was clearly bored, so he sang "That's Amore" the best he could in the microphone It was really cool. "...When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine, That's amore..."

Ah - this is creepy! You said you were expecting Spaghetti Bolognese, but didn't get it, and I expected meatloaf, but didn't get it. I got some sausages with beans ...

I've been thinking about fears... *Dons a shrink's academic voice * my own and others. I was discussing childhood fears with Tine the other day, and what dawned on us was the total lack of logic . True, we were never treated with tales of the Bogeyman, but ... I was afraid of lot of things when I was young. For instance, I once went through a period where I was convinced someone was trying to poison me - I guess I was about 4 - 5 years at the time - and totally out of the blue And I had these reoccuring nightmares where I was walking along in the attic, and the devil was up there, dancing in the moonlight Scared the willies out of me... And I watched 'Edward Scissorhand' on new year's eve when I was six, and I didn't walk out of the house alone until February .

And you? Quid pro quo ...

It's time to go to bed now . Five minutes 'til midnight... I better watch out for that devil dancing in the attic

Currently listening to: An advert on the tv (sorry, I had to copy you) "A touch can mean so much, now it can mean better skincare... nivea, now celebrating 30 beatuiful years" That sentance made NO sense at all

Devil dancing in the attic? Being poisoned *shakes head* I think the fear you were experiencing is called 'paranoia' So you want to know about my irrational fears eh? I'm not scared of much but:

I hate medium sized spiders. I can cope with tiny ones or great big ones (eg. tarantuals) but I hate the ones with long legs
I also used to be petrified of aliens. I wouldn't sleep with my window open in case aliens came and got me while I was sleeping. I couldn't watch 'Mars Attacks' or even 'ET' Come to think of it, I still find 'ET' creepy...
These really unscary books by R.L.Stine scared me like hell. I read one once and it gave me nightmares for weeks...

*cuddles up to Hannibal* How could you not know that Red Dragon was being made into a film?! I'd expect that sort of thing from my friends not you! I need to lie down, the shock of Tilde not knowing such a peice of valuable Hannibal gossip has made me feel a tad faint *swoons, and is just caught by that strong, mysterious, cannibal*

Oh come on! If this juggler is there next time you go to town I command you to ask him his name! Do it for me, to make up for that horrible little incident with Red Dragon gossip. *shudders at the thought* I need a drink to stiffen my nerves..

Don't get me started on the differences between the original and the sequal I'd never stop! Gosh, I really do hate my friends sometimes. Certain people are being a real pain on IM. I'd rather not have it, they're too nasty on IM. It annoys me the way that people act like complete b******s because they are not talking to me to my face. Oh it's so confusing
Ahh well, never mind.

I've gotta go and measure out my ingrdients for Food Technology (We had to choose between that and Textiles, you decide which one is less painful) I'm making cup cakes. I'll offer them round to your guests when I get back

Oh, I used to collect the books by R.L.Stine, but when I had about 50, it dawned on me I didn't find them scary or even creepy. The stories simply repeated themselves and got more and more obvious... I heard he has a contract to write 3 - 4 books a month, so I guess the quality simply has to disappear. I was about to sell them on a market (I would have gotten a nice amount of money for them, too) but appearantly the cat disliked them more than I did, so she left her "business card" in the box I kept them in .

'Mars Attack!' the movie scared the hell out of me! Imagine, Tom Jones saving the human race! The mere thought gives me the creeps... *Toys a bit with the Phantom's black fedora*

I've sent you an e-mail to make up for the horrible ignorance about Red Dragon Now please forgive me!

"I've... I've recieved my orders from headquarters ... I gotta go to Denmark tomorrow, I'll be gone for three days... Oh Clara, don't look so sad ."

Oh, some movie with Eric Idle is on - gotta go check it out (Idle is my favourite Python, BTW) Ta for now!

Well, I've just managed to steal a little time here (I'm practically folding my wardrobe while typing this ) and now I leave for København, Denmark!

*Sings with a convincing tenor* "Out into the world we go! Planning futures, shaping years..."

Remember that; Three days! And only 10 hours in car to get there . Yay. Anyway - be sure to miss me ! I'm afraid that I haven't got enough to read though. I've nearly finished 'The Vampire Lestat' and can't possibly find 'Queen of the Damned' anywhere !

Currently listening to: The nice, familiar sound of the punch bowl

Yes, believe it or not, I'M BACK!! *Laughs hysterically as the music from 'Psycho' plays in the background* Again, it's irritating to see how the whole world seems to do fine without me Couldn't at least ONE major catastrophe happen when I'm away? I'd appreciate it...

Okay, where shall I start? First of all; Ten hours in a car is not a nice thing... And of course on a recordbreaking hot day And without any CD-player or even radio! Only the old-fashioned audio tapes... We just brought all the tapes we could find before we could set of (How could I know there were mostly Michael Ball-collections? ) And when we arrived in Copenhagen (Købehavn) we started to look for somewhere to stay at night... That's right, we hadn't made any travel arrangements at all, ooh the rush In the end we found a nice, tiny, tiny room with four beds - I had to sleep in bunk hoisted right up under the roof, two metres off the ground!

And I've learned one thing - when you're in Copenhagen, if you want to or not, you can't help but pick up all the facts about the author Hans Christian Andersen... And I've learned some (even though I wasn't interested at first)
He was absurdly long and thin, dressed well, was very good-natured but wasn't good at social events, had a problem with stammering when he got nervous, was very, very eccentric indeed, and of course he wrote some of the worlds most famous fairy-tales... *Sigh* Why are all good men either married, gay or dead by some hundred years? But if he wasn't don't you think it would have been a match made in heaven?

Another thing I've learned: I can't undertand Danish and they can't understand Norwegian We write with a nearly identical language, but the pronouncation is so different none of us can at all get the other's meaning. In the end I faked being English, because that was at least a language they knew. Oh, I'm so bad...

And of course, when it was so cold here in Norway, we didn't pack any clothes for hot weather... And as I said, Denmark was boiling! We had only planned to buy some shorts, but when we were finished shopping, imagine me:
Beige shorts (that was what we started out for), blue sneakers (which I realised was exactly the type of shoes I imagine Ford Prefect would wear ), a thin shirt (which looked rather like a part of the Pakistani national costume) and finally, my beige sixpence cap (which I never part with). I was nearly proud of how silly I looked ...

And then we went to the theme park which is so big it often get confused with a town: Tivoli. It was fun, as Tine and I tried out every rolercoaster we could find (and there are a lot of those there, believe me And what I didn't know, when I arrived, was that one of the themes of the park was exactly; Commedia Dell'Arte! one of us really knew it before we came into the park - So at least I managed to catch a few performances of the troupe...

And then we went to the wax museum by Louis Toussaud's (that's the son of your Madame) But it really wasn't nearly as good as the one in London. But to my delight they had a set from 'The Phantom of the Opera' in the horror chamber . And the Horror Chamber really wasn't scary - red strings as blood, and a really bad recording of a guy crying "Ooooh. Uuuuh." in the background . Even as we went by the guillotine scene from the French Revolution, we started laughing and chanting 'La Marseillase'... There was a big box which was marked 'Pandora's' but we never opened it - just look what happened when she did !

And then, by night, ten hours to get home again. when I got home I must have used hours in the shower, scrubbing off all the travel filth and dried sweat ... I'm really not a travelling sort of person - I rather comfort over adventure any time .

Well, I guess I better go and claim back all my personal possessions from the black market. I was really fond of that chair...

Sounds like you had a great time, but you do go on holidays for a breif period. Not that I'm complaining or anything, just saying.

Okay, I can settle with the knocked drink as a major catastrophe. But only just Did anything actually spill out of it? Just a few drops I mean. Anything will suffice .

Yeah, I agree I go on very brief vacations at a time. We had actually planned some more time in Copenhagen, but we always learn that we all get cranky if we're far from the usual comfort for too long at a time (However much grammatical errors in that last sentence <olnine2long&gt And I can only be parted with my computer for so and so much time... I live on the net, so I think Real Life is too brutal for me By the way, on Monday I'm going to the mountain village Skei, for exactly three days... I really don't usually travel this much in the holiday, but when my parents have time off for work they always want to travel everywhere .

I'm so glad you liked the picture As I said, I really don't know why I had it saved in a folder marked 'Urgent', but it showed to come in handy, nonetheless. And as I sat in the car, I noticed there was advertising for Anthony Hopkins' new film absolutely everywhere I had really planned to rip a board down with a three metres-version of his face, but alas, the street was too busy After I and Tine had danced along the pavement singing 'Poetry in motion' the Danish watched us with a close eye throughout our journey.

The same thing here; I haven't played the Sims in ages! One of the reasons, I think, is because I lose all grip on real time while playing, and I love my time alone simply too much. I find gret pleasure in having nothing to do, to say it that way But don't worry, I'll be bitten by the bug soon enough

I gotta go and clean Roosta's cage. Ta!

P.S: So you can put Latin, Music, etc. behind you at last. Congratulation on growing up

Currently Listening to: Some ad on the radio. "Dinner Jazz tonight, be there..."

Well, one drop did kind of go over the rim. But it sorta dropped back into the glass. Oh! I did drop a piece of paper, it did take me a while to pick it up again too. Does that count? Um, that's it.

I'm 'considering' going to see Sir Anthony's latest film, I might just save my money for 'Red Dragon' when it comes out. Ok, I realise that I'll be waiting a long time but I'd rather see him as his greatest role, Hannibal Lecter , in preferance to some other film. How sad am I ?

Gosh, that Roosta get's cleaned more often than I do! How unfair is that?! My Mum only changes the newspaper every two weeks, along with my water she pushes my food through the bars.. I have to eat everything with a spoon (they won't let me have knives)

I prefer the Internet to real life. You can be interesting on the net, whereas in real life you are stuck as you. It's much more interesting, I mean where else are you gonna be seduced by a vampire ? Or tell people (openly) that you fancy Hannibal Lecter Truely the Internet is a great place... *looks strange*

I never did get around to loading The Sims by the way. I got distracted by somthing shiny... ooh! Purdy lil shiny fing... *wanders off after a shiny bead*

Currently listening to: The low voices on the TV... Or in my head. I'm not sure which

*GASP* I was going through some old conversations of mine, when I found a caption contest I had put up some attempts on... I had completely forgotten about it for a long time - until now. What baffled me now was that I was actually picked out from the lot of them! In both cases, even! Hey everybody! I'M FUNNY!!! I didn't even know... I never though of it. OMG! Recognition on h2g2, who would have thought... Okay, I didn't win the big prize, but my captions was put up with the best! You can find it here:

Okay, maybe it wasn't all that. But still! I had no idea until now! Hmm. Makes you think of what else I might have missed...

Sure. The drop and paper counts. At least I want it to You must excuse me - I'm terribly tired. I still haven't slept ,much since I came home at 2 AM last night... I may get over excited *Hyperventilates*

I came to think speaking of Lecter/Pictures. You know the scene in Hannibal, where he was supposed to lick starlings steering wheel? You know they actually shot that scene, but left it out form the movie? You know I might find pictures of it (tongue out and all)? That's all I'm saying ...

It's getting quite late and my mum is tagging my leg to get me from the computer now (family rule: Grownups won't go to bed until after the kids do) so I'm making everybody very sleepy right now In other words: Gotta go!

Sugar!!! Sugar sugar sugar!!! Bah, I just wrote a really long message here and my computer froze! Can you believe it?!!?!? Nothing is going my way today! Now I've gotta start all over again...

Currently Listening to: Joy and pain by Count Basic

*watches Tilly hyperventilate* Um, shouldn't I do somthing? *pokes Tilly's writhing form with a stick* There, oh. That seems to have made her worse.. maybe if I ignore you and carry on you'll shake out of it So, here goes nothing..

Congratulations on making a funny comment about Mark M and some people eating worms! You are officially a member of 'The Funny Mans Club' (A club of my own devising) Population:1 (now 2!) But seriously folks, it's a big step when a person becomes funny and unique. It makes them just like everyone else...

Oh why didn't they leave in that scene? Didn't they consider all the girls (both of them) who would miss seeing Anthony Hopkins tongue? It's not fair, alas, I shall never see his tongue in motion unless I get really lucky I am doomed to live a life without sunshine and happiness, unless... If you have that picture I may have to hurt you unless you give it to me immediately. PLEASE, if you have it send it to me! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEY PLEASEEE!!!

Ok, you're a great person for giving me that picture of the doctor, but if you were to send me the picture of him licking the steering wheel I would find you as many pictures of Micheal Ball as I could humanly do... I would make him a shrine on the net, I'd make you a shrine on the net if you so desired! Just one condition, send me the picture...

It's my best friends birthday party tommorow. I'm not sure if I can go, I left it a bit late before saying that I could come. I hope she get's my message saying I could go

I'd better go, it's time for me to read. I'm really getting into 'The Vampire Armand' (I think it's so good! I suggest it without hesitation!) and I want to go and read a bit more. I might just prop it up in front of me while I type my Science homework up.

TEACHER: Natalie, I want to talk to you about your homework. Instead of writing a peice on phosphorus defficient plants, what you have written is very.. different.
ME: What do you mean?
TEACHER: "My heart raced as the curtains closed around us. The Master pulled open my tunic, sometimes even ripping it playfully..." and the less said about the rest the better...!
ME: Oh.. heh
