Currently listening to: Bubbles. Nothing but bubbles...

*Put hands over head* Yes, thank you: I do NOT want to hear what you and Francis Dolarhyde were doing in your dirty little mind.

Anyway... Yes, I'm lucky I've celebrated to be 15 - or else they wouldn't even let me rent Monty Python Imagine that! How will the fresh blood learn how to be vulgar if not from Monty Python?

I'll be gone tomorrow *sniff* We're going to Tønsberg for the day to catch the show "Back to Broadway" with the singer/entertainer/royal best man Kåre Conradi. You remember mr Conradi right? I told you of the time I was lucky enough to be in his dressingroom while he was, um, undressing
But he's not the only performer in that show. There's also a singer I really can't stand, Jan Werner. He got the body and intellect of a bull and he's going to horribly attempt to sing the part of the Phantom of the Opera! Oh, the horror! Look after that in the newspapers, hm? 'Girl gone wild in small theatre in Tønsberg, Norway - She was reported ripping the mask and cape off the famous singer Jan Werner while screaming over and over, "You're no Phantom! You're no Phantom!" Fellow entertainer Conradi says, "I can't get the feeling out of my head that I've seen her someplace before".'

Oh, and I've sent that petition over to a couple of friends of mine - I don't know if they'll answer, although it's such a, um, worthy cause.

I better go now and have some breakfast

SIGH, I FEEL SO LOVEY DOVEY TODAY

Currently listening to: Me, myself (and Irene, hahah) whistling "It must be love, love love.. nothing more, nothing less.."

Ahem, I think what you said about my mind is rather unfair, it is not little. Sure it's dirty but that's what makes me so loveable If I didn't have such a dirty mind, I'd be a librarian. And you know how mean and unfunny librarians are.. Besides, I wasn't going to tell you anyway, I'd rather just keep it to myself and Francis Dolarhyde

I'll teach the fresh blood to be rude and vulgar! I'm the perfect candidate! Pick me!!

*looks sheepish* I did end up renting out 'Interview With The Vampire', it was either that or nothing. I also got Monty Pythons Killer Sheep I met a few friends on the way down so I went to the movie rental place with them and my Dad went home (anything to get out of exercise) Ok, I'm 14. This woman let me rent out an 18, with my Dad's card Two crimes commited on the same day. I didn't know that it was an 18 when I asked if she could find it for me. It must be my mature manner

Well, the film crew are gone. I never got an autograph or anything To be honest I didn't really want one, but it's the principle of the thing. My Dad pointed out that if it were Anthony Hopkins I'd be out there lying down on the pavement

ME: CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?
AH: JEEZ! EVERY TIME I'VE WALKED BY YOU'VE ASKED ME FOR ANOTHER AUTOGRAPH! I'VE GIVEN YOU 579 SO FAR! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME GIRL!?
ME: *winks suggestively*
AH: *runs away*
ME: *runs after*

But back to your celebrity stalkings. If you attack Jan Werner I'll make sure your Mum takes away all your internet privilages for a month. And just because you've seen Kåre Conradi semi-undressed once before, it doesn't mean you can go wandering into his dressingroom. Ok? If I hear anything about a young girl harassing poor celebrities, I will be pretty darn peeved Celebrities should be able to live without fear of Tilly!

Thanks for passing my petition on, I can't understand why my Dad doesn't want to take me to an operating theatre. Full of old torture instruments and cranial blades etc
When I asked why he said somthing along the lines of: This obsession is becoming unhealthy Natalie() and I wouldn't feel safe taking you to such a place ()

Currently listening to: Some soccer game on the TV

Ah, so I hear young Natalie is in love Does he know? Do I hear the bells ringing? (Nah, I think that's just in my head ) Shall I hire Michael Ball to sing 'Love Changes Everything' as you walk down the aisle? (Better yet - just let me talk to him about anything <lovestruck&gt ...

Okay, enough kidding: Who is he? I'm dying to know! I see you've allready let down zell, that poor guy Who, then?! Who have swept you off your feet?

Have Hopkins finally found you? Or has that vampire you've been seeing proposed or somethin'? Okay, I'll stop now, this can look a bit obsessive... So, has the infamous Nate abandoned cynical for lovestruck?

Moving on... Have you watched the movie yet? I must let you in on a little secret of mine: I never watched the whole movie - I missed half of it because Tine wouldn't watch it The parts I saw looked pretty impressive though... So, how is it?

Well, I really can't write much now - I'm eating dinner (fish sticks ) So, Toodles!

P.S.: Of course you would be the perfect candidate to learn youngsters vulgarity - what about starting a school?

Currently listening to: Buffy The Vampire slayer on tee vee. Buffy's beating up some vampire or another, that's orignial *sigh*

Have I abandoned being cynical for running around in his and hers matching outfits? Nope, nein, nil, non, NO.
I'm not going to tell you who it is I have fallen for either.
I will tell you who it isn't though:
Mysterious Stranger- methinks he's run off. Haven't talked to him in ages
Zell- only known him 5 mins
Anthony Hopkins- Still haven't met him
Micheal Ball- He said he's waiting for you and there's nobody else he'd rather be with..
Fish Stick- He smelt too bad, I couldn't go near him

Sorry about not being able to tell you, besides, if my bad luck is still up to scratch I should hate him by tommorow And the way he's going about talking to me, I'm right on cue. Sounds like I may have to take Zell back up on his offer...

Ooh! You're so lucky! I didn't have dinner tonight, couldn't be bothered to get up. Hmm, that may be considered unhealthily lazy. I'm too lazy to argue my point against that statement... *falls asleep*

The film was pretty bad actually. I'm considering writing to Anne Rice and demanding she get them to remake it, the chosen actors are nothing like Lestat and Louis. It's my new life mission. That and getting Anthony Hopkins to marry me (I think the latter is less likely to happen) I prefered the book, but that's just my opinion. Other people liked it.. other strange people..

I've gotta go, I'll speak to you in a few days then. Farewell Tilly,

Currently listening to: Mum and Tine discussing who's going to cut the grass.

Ugh, I'm not having a good day I couldn't sleep, it was too hot, it was too cold, mum went ballistic when I borrowed a blouse of hers, Tine can't stop talking about Daniel, my stomach hurts... There's much more, but I don't feel like typing it

Okay, so I wasn't away for long.

The show was pretty great though. Conradi is still like a study in style, and Werner is still a study in elephants trashing about Lisa Stokke pleasantly surprised me (I didn't know she was THAT good) and Benedicte Adrian still can't sing, can't act and can't dance: A triple threat
Conradi looked just as handsome as ever, and he made a rather nice Gene Kelly - although he isn't feminine enough, and he clearly can't tap dance (he obviously used "double-tappers" under the shoes)

I haven't laughed that much in a long time They all did a parody/summary of Sound of Music where the four of them played all of the characters. Conradi, I think, played a nun (quite impressing, really), Mr Von Trapp, the four year-old Von Trapp child (even more convincing) and Rolf (with a horrible "Stavanger"-dialect)

"Stavanger"-dialect contains a lot of rolling R's, and I can't understand half of it. I myself don't have a dialect, I'm told - probably because I read so much

There was a couple of slip-ups throughout the performance, though, that made it all hilarious. When Maria (Lisa Stokke) sang "My favourite things" she started the song by saying, "When you're afraid, it helps to think og something real nice" and at that moment, Conradi (as the child) was lying with his face very close to Lisa's... er... It made the scene look rather intimate instead of charming, and then all the actors on stage got a laughing fit It's the funniest thing I've ever seen; Four professional actors signalling to the crowd to stop laughing and cheering while they're choking to stop laughing themselves! It took several minutes to calm everything down.

Pity they're having the last performance today - it was a very exclusive thing. Only five performances, I think. Conradi will probably return to another hit season of "Stones in his Pockets" (which is the funniest play I've ever seen, I must add)

Oh, you think the Interview... wasn't any good? As I said earlier, I didn't see everything, but I though Tom Cruise was a rather good Lestat Probably because Tom cruise finally managed to not look like himself. How much sense am I making? Not much I'm afraid.

Well, Tine will be gone the whole day to meet Daniel's parents (they don't even know she's half his age! ) and I'm going downtown to do some favours.

Toodles!

P.S: Maybe we should make a similiar petition: "Anthony Hopkins for Nate's husband!"

Currently listening to: some boy band performing on the tv I swear, music is getting worse and worse these days. Hmm, that makes me sound really old doesn't it?

Aww, poor you Don't worry, as they always say: http://www.montypython.net/cgi-bin/dl2/brian.cgi?bright.wav

*gets excited* Yeah! Yeah, yeah! I like the sound of that petition! Yeah yeah! I actually had a dream about him the other night, this one wasn't adult it was just very weird

I dreamt that I was going on a 'Get To Know The Simpsons Course' () with my entire class and the teacher was none other than.. Anthony! It gets a bit blurry but I can remember crawling towards him on my stomach quoting shakespeare outside my schools PE department, and then I can remember him dying my hair orange/red and telling me that I will be popular () Also I remember him handing out.. *laugh* shrubberys to me and other members of the class And then my Mum woke me up, all in all it was a pretty good dream..

Sounds like you had fun! I always say that don't I? So you didn't see Conradi naked then? Oh well, still. Sounds like you had fun none the less

It wasn't a bad film really, I just thought the casting was a bit dodgy Antonio Banderaz was a good actor, but seeing as Armand is meant to be an eternally young 20 somthingyear old vampire, it was somewhat strange. Brad Pitt looked like he had the mumps, his cheeks looked puffy and swolen He looked quite ill... or like he was trying to pull an orr Orr from catch-22, he put crab apples inside his cheeks to give himself apple cheeks... hmm, it's funnier in the book

I'm going swimming now! Wahooey! Shame my cape is at the laundrette, that would have been so much fun You're a trend setter Tilly, maybe we could market a brand of waterproof cape. They'd sell like hotcakes Tell Tine I wish her Good luck

Oh, look; They put your posting up again. I think that link hads something to do with it (although I can't open it )

Um... That sure was an interesting dream Orange hair? Shrubbery? The Simpsons? Shakespeare? Boy, you do have stranger dreams than me. Last night I only dreamed that the world was drowning in gooseberry jelly Oh, and that my fianceè Philip () died a horrible death in it...

Don't get me started on Antonio Banderas! I can't stand that guy! Okay, he was quite handsome in "Philadelphia", but his career has gone down-hill ever since. He's certainly no Armand And do you know what he will NEVER EVER be? The Phantom of the Opera! (Although Andrew Lloyd Webber is thinking of casting him in the upcoming movie) No way!! He can't sing, can't act, he can't even speak properly!
(This is why I spend so much time at http://www.phantommovie.com )

Ho, I'll calm down now Mum is taking us to the cinema today. I'm not sure what we gonna see, we'll probably just be impulsive (Yeah, right)

You know what I did today exactly one year ago? *Gets even more excited* My family and I was in London and shocked a cab driver named Solly when we asked him to drive us to Essex (he nicknamed us "The Crazy Norwegians" ) That's right: The second Michael Ball concert I ever went to! It was an outdoor concert at Audley End, and I was seated (standing actually) right in front of him the whole time! I can remember it so clearly - him in a delicious beige suit, the grass full of insects, the whole audience getting nice and drunk Here's a summary of a conversation that was going on behind me the whole time after they we're both pretty drunk:
He: He's boring!
She: He's divine!
He: He's boring!
She: He's divine!

Ah, the memories Solly (the cabdriver whom I had a rather long conversation with both to and fro the venue) couldn't understand why I wanted to go and look at a gyuy he had never heard of "Why, if it'd been that crooner Frank Sinatra, I'd understand..."
Me: "Yeah, but he would have looked pretty mouldy by now..."
Solly: "The more reasons to go! Concert and horror in one. Blimey..."

Ah, I better go take a look at some pictures now Usual services will be up in no time...

Currently listening to: The Complete 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' song, I'm so very sad. You do know that I was a ex-Monty Python fanatic? I had kicked the habit, but you started talking about it and now I'm sitting here alone listening to Monty Python songs

The link was to a recording of the line 'Always look on the bright side of life.' Seemed quite apt as you were feeling terrible. I was only trying to cheer you up Sorry Mr/Mrs/Miss Moderator..

I was singing Monty Python songs all day yesterday, my friend pushed me under the water in the swimming pool to shut me up. The odd thing is, the lifeguard let her. In fact, all the people in the pool were holding me under. You'd think they didn't want to hear me sing The Accountancy Shanty Odd that..

I was sleeping round at my friend Jessica's house last night, we slept in the same room on the pull out bed. Anyway, while I was asleep somthing rather funny happened:

ME- *moans and groans* Scratch my knee...
JESS- I beg your pardon?
ME- My knee's cold..
JESS- Um.. *covers my knee with the cover*
[silence]
ME- Eyebrow!!

I wonder what I was dreaming about? I knew I talked in my sleep but I had no idea that I said such weird stuff! The last time someone told me that I was talking in my sleep, it was my Mum. And I apparantly said: "I know where you've hidden the glue you know..." My friend screams and swears in his sleep, it's rather worrying when he starts screaming at you to off in the middle of the night

So you thought that my Anthony Hopkins dream was 'interesting'? Ha! I told you my dreams were good! That was one of my more pleasant dreams, I quite liked that one. If I was to ask Freud what it meant, what do you think he'd say? Do you think sex might come into it ?

I remember dreaming about an alien spaceship landing outside my house (by the big tree to be precise) I went outside with my old Nanny (don't ask) and started hurling abuse at the spaceship. It went somthing along the lines of: "Why don't you just off to where you ing came from you ing s!" I have very violent and abusive dreams..

Who's Philip and why haven't I been informed about him before? You'd think to remember to tell me about such a small thing as your engagement, I am obviously very unimportant

I can't imagine why anyone would term you guys 'The Crazy Norwegians' Considering all the things you've told me about you and your family, I'd say you were all pretty normal and sane *crosses fingers*

Okay, when I said "Usual services will be up and running in no time" I guess I was kinda lying - I was busy at Daniel's house all of yesterday and couldn't find time to log on. Drownin' Ducks were having their second annual BBQ. It started at four PM and ended at midnight. It was a blast, though. We had a big, silly contest - the "duck-atlon". The different contests were darts, badminton, paper-tossing and shooting-small-plastic-duck-over-pond-with-water-gun Tine won, and was awarded the Mother Duck of the Year. I came in last and is merely a duckling. I got a diploma though - with Daniel's drawing of me as a duck. Weird thing is, with a bill, feathers and all, you can still see it's me! I guess the ruffled hair, trumpet and sunglasses is a give-away, but still! Dang, I didn't know I looked that good as a duck ...

I wonder if I have ever used the word "duck" more times during a text

Okay, *Sigh* I guess I better tell you about Philip sooner or later Philip , appearantly, is my fianceè. You may rest assured I've never seen him except in dreams. I can sit through the whole dream gazing into his eyes, yet I have no idea what he looks like - except I know he's dead gorgeous

You know I'm the only one in my closest circle of family without a tattoo? It's getting rather worrying.
Trude got a dagger with a blood drop.
Robert (Trude's boyfriend) got a scorpion holding a rose
Tine got a red heart pierced by a note
My parents got matching blue butterflies
And I know Truls has one, but I've never been allowed to see it
Yes, t'is rater worrying ...

Most bleeps during a posting? That would be interesting ... Makes me wonder what smileys I use the most...

Well, gotta go to the *evil* library to return the Monty Python video

Toodles!

I've been told to read Nietzsche, but I refused to until I found some quotes by him. A man is as good as his quotes, as I always say, and so far I like what I see... I'd better start saving

Wow, my parents would run a mile before getting a tattoo! I quite like tattoos so long as they're done nicely, I'd quite like one myself. Maybe a celtic symbol or a dragon... but then again, I could just get someone to draw one on with a biro A lot cheaper and no pain.
Why is it worrying that all your immediate family has a tattoo? It's not like they're gonna grab you and force you to the tattoo parlour, *laughs nervously* hah ha, would they?
Hmm, if you're not allowed to see Truls tattoo, does that mean it's on his... um, arm?

Mmmmm, BBQ'd duck *drools* So you think you looked good as a duck Why don't you make it a permenant change? A trans-species reassignment programme could be the way to making your life that of a duck! With that small operation you could become a real duck But how would you be able to use the computer? We'd have to give you a pointing stick thingymabob to poke the keys with. Plus there's a lot of discrimination against ducks these days, you ever seen a duck being allowed in a book store? I think not. People say they're open minded these days, but I think thats a load of pants My advice is don't become a duck..

Phew, this heat is frying my brains

Lucky you! I don't have any reoccuring people in my dreams, you have a fianceè and I have a runny nose. I always have a cold in my dreams, is that normal? No, didn't think so.

I'm going completely hyper because I didn't get any sleep last night! It was so hot I stayed up till 3 drawing, lying face down on the floor. The heat makes me produce some pretty good stuff! Sheesh, I'd better go lie down before my head explodes

Well... Could be? Anyway, as a member of my family I will get the choice when I'm 16. If I choose to do it, I'm sure it won't be a usual image. I mean, no Chinese sign, rose, heart, blood, butterfly, etc. I'm not quite sure what I would choose, though. I know I ought to have some colours, though, since my skin is so light. What about a cute little phantom? http://www.angelfire.com/ri2/phantom_art/gallery/toon_phantom.html

Talking about Truls... Red alert! He's thinking about calling up on an ex-girlfriend I can't stand! Not only does she job in kindergarden and treats everybody under 20 as 4-year-olds, she actually saw a video clip of Michael singing, and her first reaction was, "Oh, he's a poof, right?" Are you sure you don't have any more relatives to match him up with? Anything will do. No, actually, something of our same species would be rather nice

I had a rather nice dream last night - it was just me snuggling up to Kåre Conradi I think I better stop thinking about Conradi - it's starting to annoy even me I rather that Philip anyway. I'm getting much more used to snuggling up to him You know, perhaps my dream last night could be classifie as cheating on Philip? Boy, I didn't think about that one This is getting too weird...

It's so *incredible* hot here! It has been record-breaking warm all over thew country this last few days. Today Tine and I went for a swim at a new pool some way from here - it was very nice there, actually. I broke my own record: I took a dive from a board 3 1/2 meters above the ground! My old record was at about 3 1/2 centimeters, so... I'm content

I haven't slept for three days! It's too hot!! Last night I tried to read a bit, listen to some music, draw some, study the fish in the aquarium (yes, the punch bowl is sadly unhabited now), study the pattern in my bedroom carpet... You know, all the tradition fall-asleep-fast tricks. Appearantly I slept some, since I even commited some kind of dream-adultery

I better go now. 'Soap' is on tonight! My favourite show! Yay!!

Currently listening to: The opening song to Octopussy.. "doing so much more than falling in love.. on an all time high..!" I must have seen this film a 100 times, it's not that I like it or anything. It's just one of those films everyone has seen.. ooh! Dinner Jazz is on! This is when they play the best jazz..

I've finally gotten around to putting up links on my space! Today I put up my friends on h2g2 list, and of course, you were at the top (for fear of verbal abuse ) It made me realise that I should try to be much more sociable in order to have more links to post.. *considers this* nah! I prefer being my usual unapprociable self

We were going through a heat wave over here too, it was the hottest it's been since the 80's. But all of a sudden, the heavens opened and it's been raining for, pretty much, 2 days solid. It's still hot, but only when I'm trying to go to sleep I managed to get such little sleep last night I woke up at 1 in the afternoon, I got rather confused throughout the day and asked my Mum why it was getting so dark at 3 (when it was actually 7) The whole concept of time gives me a headache

Are you implying that my family are of a different species? It's only me.. I'm the black sheep of the family I'm the one everyone doesn't like to talk about, I'm the one people try to sweep under the carpet (often literally), I'm the one people don't mention in front of the old folks for fear of heart failure, I'm the one who people try to avoid at family get togethers for fear I will mention somthing 'abnormal', I'm.. [dramatic chord] Nate Wood!

Noo! We can't let her have him, if not for Truls' sake then yours! I bet she's never even a fan of The Silence Of The Lambs either I don't have many other female relatives of that age.. *thinks* if Truls wants a change of pace maybe he'd be interested in my other cousin Ivan? Nah, didn't think so.. *thinks* I'm the oldest single girl in the family, but I don't think Truls is up for that. Truls should have moved in on Nina when he had the chance.. or maybe we should have actually told them?

I was so bored today, I decided to investigate h2g2 in a little more depth. I found the h2g2 post and ended up reading every single Wowbagger cartoon there was in the archives, Spimcoot too. As you probably know, there are an awful lot but each one was brilliant. I was in hysterics at most of them.. read many of them?

I say stick with Philip. I know it's hard to let such a man as Conradi go, but at least you can say "I saw that guy semi-naked" That's worth somthing in itself. Oh, and it's not really adultery until you get married. Oh yeah, forgot to ask. Can I come to your wedding? And could I possibly get off with the best man? And could the best man possibly be Anthony Hopkins? Now that would be some wedding..

I found a really funny site, it's 'Tender Russian phrases for your loved one' I was looking for a Ukrainian phrase site (I'll explain in a min) and came across that one
What was the address again? Ahh yes: http://www.meighan.net/alexander/
I was looking for handy phrases because I'm considering having Ukrainian lessons. It's just one of those things I'm going to have to learn sooner or later so I decided on sooner rather than later..

*sniff* My fish died today, he was 9 years old so you can't really blame the guy.. although he did have to do it minutes after my Mum (for the first time ever) cleaned his tank. She thinks she killed him now I noticed as I was cooking my lunch, he's in a plastic box waiting to be buried in the other room. We would bury him but we decided to wait until my Dad gets back, I get carried away when I bury the pets (insist on a preist and sandwiches etc)
I ran some coldish water into a bowl, in a desperate attempt to resurect him, and propelled his body in circles hoping that somehow this would accomplish somthing. But no, it just made me look like a fish killer...

Well, since you wrote such a long posting, I can make it up by writing a (I think) rather short one now. I only have a couple of minutes before dinner

Ah, so you've found the Post? Good for you. A wicked/weekly mag to keep you updated each Thursday... Oh, isn't that today? Unbelievable! Why aren't I over there right now reading every word? Oh, that's right: You
Spimcoot's Paper Cuts have been a favourite of mine for some time now - I even remember when he started up (the long discussed 'Hamster Flambe'-joke) Nice drawings, wicked and discreet humour, and he's really fun to talk with too
I believe I have read each single cartoon made by Spimcoot and Wowbagger. You could look at the discussions the different drawings have started too - they can get really funny!

Today I went to the shopping mall to do some serious shopping. You know what I got? Three pencils I guess I won't win the 'Shop-oholic award' of the Year. Ah well. Mind you, I guessed the pencils would cost at least half of what I eventually had to pay for them. Either I was had or the clerk was speaking the truth when she said they were pure quality...
I bought them because I suddenly was overcome by a passion for drawing The minute I had the proper equipment, I of course couldn't think of a single motive In the end I took a random book ('Phantom' by Susan Kay) opened up at a random paged and drew whatever it was about. I managed to make two drawings: Erik standing by the fire place weeping, and Christine singing Aïda in a wedding dress. I were very proud of the first, though. I actually took time to do some details and shadows.
The drawing-passion lasted for almost exactly one hour After that I got tired and bored and cleaned up all the sheets I had made scetches on...

Well, gotta have some mashed potatoes now. Toodles!

P.S: Well, I guess we all gotta learn Ukrainian sooner or later

I found out somthing very shocking today. I found it while looking for a picture of my schools sheild (long story) Basically a man in 1998 set up cameras in some girls changing rooms at several schools, to look at these teenage girls while they got changed. One of the schools was my school! He's got 10 years in prison for taking indecent photos of girls under the age of 16. Is that creepy or what?

This one featured a young man called Bob, I do know someone called Bob but this wasn't him (the Bob in my dreams was clearly of china descent) Anyway, it was rather bizzare because I was staying over at his house (sleeping over ) and I was falling in love with him. It was really weird because as soon as I asked him out I was transported to my friends house, and she and her sister were helping me redecorate. I was going to sleep in this conservatory thing, in my friends garden..

Speaking of redecorating, my rooms next! Yay! I've gotta go and start clearing some of my stuff out, I have too much stuff! Enjoy your mashed potatoes

Currently listening to: The OLC Phantom of the Opera recording. This is where Joseph is found hanged - cue maniacal laughter

Today I am all alone. How great! How relieving! Mum and dad will be at work all day, Tine is sleeping over at Daniel's (appearantly it's his birthday) Of course, I had planned to finally, completely sleep all day. The heat, of course, put a stop to this After that I planned to take a nice, long shower... But of course, my father had accidentally let the kitten Missy out, so I had to sit in the livingroom with the doors wide open in my dressing gown chanting "Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty-kitty...." If the neighbours didn't think I was crazy, they do it now. Of course, running out into the storm in my jammies with Tine crying out "Nah-nah! Thor, is that all you can do?" probably didn't better their image of me (It was a very, very warm day, and we both felt rather silly )

Actually, I was very concerned when Missy was out. Up to that moment she probably thought this house was her universe and that the wondeful colours and shapes outside the window had nothing to do with her. She hadn't gone out in a year (because cats really aren't welcome in this neighbourhood ) and I feared that a cruel neighbour or an ignorant child would hurt her (There's plenty of both around) Thank God she lurked back in, unharmed, after a couple of hours She still hasn't forgiven me for closing the doors and windows, but I think I'll win her back over after some tummy-rubbing

A man did that at your school? Dang, that's not a nice thought. There are so many perverts around...
On a funnier note, that reminds me of my old school's shower The boys' shower and girls' shower was only a locked door apart, and that door had a rather big crack at the bottom It was not unusal when the girls in my class brought small make-up mirrors to catch a glimpse of... well, ya know. They looked really funny lying on their stomach, furiously waving the little mirror under the door Of course, the boys quickly found out and did the same thing, and all the girls got furious and started filling the crack with paper towels.
Okay , so the story realy didn't have a moral, but it was an hilarious war for a spectator. And NO, I never pulled that trick, thankyouverymuch

I just found a transcript of a hilarious scene in Lord of the Rings, it really made me giggle when I saw it first at the cinema:
Frodo had chosen to do the really dangerous trip to destroy the ring:
MERRY *Runs in*: We're going, too! You'd have to send us home tied up in a sack to keep us away!
PIPPIN: Anyway, you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission... Quest... Thing.
MERRY: Well, that rules you out, Pip!
ELROND: Nine companions. So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring.
PIPPIN: Great! ... Now, where are we going?

That last line is soo funny! - Especially when you haven't slept for three days

You know, I really can't remember what I did yesterday - it seems like the whole day was wiped from my memory It's not unusual in the summer though - all days seems the same.

Well, I better go now. Toodles!

P.S: Nice website

Currently listening to: Um, well, my rocks humming a bit. Oh, my Mum came in. Does that count as a thing to listen to? Well she's gone now I think it's time I put on the radio...

WHAT!? Am I hearing you correctly? You had a chance to peep at boys in the shower and you didn't take part. I'd have been up there with the best of them. Sure I don't have a makeup mirror but I may have bought one for the occasion If any of your male classmates looked like Hannibal or say, Anthony Hopkins I may have wrestled girls to the ground to look. I really am that bad but then again some may say I'm just sick.

*breathes a sigh of relief* So Missi is ok? Aww, what a terrifying experience it must have been for her.I remember the first time I left the house since getting broadband internet *gets emotional* It was so sunny, and my skin was so pale. It burnt so very much

I went to the Duxford air museum today, I had quite a good time. Me and my friend Chloe decided not to get on the mini bus, that took you all the way to the top part of the airfield, with our parents (rather stupidly) and had to walk the 3 mile runway trotting in the general direction of the bus We had no idea where we were going and we couldn't walk fast because we were in fits of hysterics and were unable to walk in a straight line let alone sprint

I'm so sorry that this posting is short, I am so tired it's unbelieveable Me go sleepy sleep now.. *falls asleep and hits her head* Ow! Better go to bed...

Currently listening to: 'A Little Less Conversation' on the radio...

Calm down, I can assure you that NONE of my former classmates looked anything like Dr Lecter. There was one guy though, that looked like a 11-year old Adonis. I swear, he's the only guy at that age I've seen with real muscles I think I was the only girl in class that never had a crush on him - I like to be abnormal

Duxford air museum? Forgive me: You go to a MUSEUM to look at AIR? I bet you had to pay money to come in, too. Why, I just raise my eyes from the screen and keyboard and I see air all around (no, not actually 'see') I can just guess how the guided tour was "And here you see some bottled air from 1805, it's... - No! Don't touch that!"
Sorry, I'll stop now

I've taken up a new hobby, by the way - from now on I collect music boxes. And not just any music boxes, I want beautiful boxes with beautiful tunes! How, many I got, you say? Er, none That doesn't make it a collection, right? Actually, I got the motor from one of my sister's earlier, only I can't find it

But I'm going down to the mall with my family now to take a look at some very nice Victorian ones. Which is exactly why I gotta go now! Toodles!

Currently listening to: Atomic Kitten karaoke on the tv. It's incredible what rubbish people will watch in order to be 'entertained'

Maybe I should have maybe pointed out that Duxford air museum also has a plane runway in order to make it somewhat clearer. It's an aeroplane museum silly not a AIR museum, even I'm not that boring. They also had tanks, jeeps, weapons of mass destruction etc I managed to get a picture of me standing by a dummy of a sniper, with his gun pointing towards my skull. That's one to send to Grandma..
I asked a rather cute looking tank driver if I could borrow one, but alas he refused. I suppose I'll have to take over the world another day

*sigh* An 11 year old Adonis? I would have been even more disappointed in you if you had a crush on him, I don't think I ever would have been able to talk to you again. After all I have taught you about acting weird it would be a shame for you to go and fancy a popular. Ha, bet he was a complete idiot anyway. I prefer to go for the intellectuals, don't ask why but I think it's opposites attract or somthing

I beg your pardon, did you say.. *cough* Music boxes? What an odd child you are, but in your defence I used to collect keyrings (booring) stamps (more booring) and paper (mind blowingly booring) I guess that makes me even more weird than you... ah well, I knew the day was coming. I'm not that surprised really

I had to get up REALLY early this morning to do my paper round, and now I have to help my Mum deliver leaflets to the entire neighborhood In the words of that brave explorer who's name I can never remember.. "I'm just popping outside, I may be sometime..."

Boy, I've had a weird morning I think I'll take it from the beginning:
There's a CD. Not just any CD, it's the Original London Cast Recording of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, of course At this time it's only obtainable from the theatre itself. So we called a coworker of my mum (Francois, who, BTW, have no linking to France whatsoever ) who often takes a weekend or two and spend it in London, and ask him to go and buy it for us. He says yes
During the call we joke about joining him on this trip, but he doesn't see the joke. And Wham! we're going to London!!

We haven't decided on a date yet (sometime during the next two weeks) and we're only going to be gone a couple of days, but WE'RE GOING!

Wow, all this spontaneous activity makes me light-headed I think I better have a little lie down somewhere...

Paper? You used to collect paper? Okay, suuuure I'm the boring one And by a coincidence, Tine happens to collect keyrings and I, a long time ago, used to collect stamps (I was 13 and needed something to do, all right?! ) Yesterday I bought a kind of musical doll. I love to make everybody frustrated because it's a melody everybody have heard before ("Oh! I know that one!") but no one can remember where it's from or what it's called I haven't got a clue myself, I only bought it because I liked the melody...

I gotta go now, it's our weekly Sunday brunch of the family Toodles!

Currently listening to: Scooby doo the cartoon on the tv. This is soo annoying. It's one of those ones in which they got rid of Fred and Velma and now Daphne (*cough* slut..) and the others are the only ones left.

Yay! You're coming to London! Woohoo! Good for you, tis a lovely place. I should know, I've lived there for 4 years (I live in a village on the outskirts now) A little tip from a paper collector, go to paperchase, go to paperchase, GO TO PAPERCHASE! It's got the prettiest paper and lots of other stuff.. blah.. but it has paper! Maybe I'll try and plan an accidental meeting with you in paperchase..

We had a carboot sale today, I impressed my parents by making £45.80 without a float Most of it is going towards the redecoration of my room, I think I'm going for pale blue and white, but we have to have another sale next Sunday to make even more money

I found a tiny article on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the FunDay Times today while at the bootsale ( No, I don't read it normally but I was bored). I'll scan it for you, it's very boring but there's a tiny picture of Micheal... The entire thing is about this very ill child.. blah blah.. who got to ride over the audience in the car with none other than.. Micheal Ball! I'll bet you're jealous

You were 13?! I was somthing like 10 when I started collecting stamps, you certainly are sadder than me. Actually no, I wear an anorack to do my paper round, in fact I have three anoracks. I'm definately saddest Do you think that could be my title? Nate the Geeky? Do you think I could be a muse of all geekiness? That would be nice *snorts with laughter in a dorky fashion* Ow, that hurts my nose. I'd better laugh normally now. As you can probably tell I'm so excited for you I'm not making sense

Somthing really funny happened last night. We had just finished eating our diner (twas a proper Chinese meal) and I said: "Momentous day people! I am just about to have my very first ever fortune cookie! I have never ever had one before! What pearls of wisdom could this mystical cookie hold..the ultimate question to the anwser of the ultimate answer 42? Here goes nothing *breaks open cookie*... 'Take more fruits to avoid indigestion.' " Needless to say I wasn't impressed...

I'm going to watch Family Guy now, that darn Stui. What mischeivous escapades will he get into next
