Hellew, my freaky darlings!

I'm feeling rather inspired and cheerful right now, so I decided that this chipper mood should lead me to writing a new blog entry.

I'll start this off with a random quote from TwinSis.

"THEY SHOT FIREWORKS FROM THEIR CROTCHAL GROINAL AREAS!!!"

I have no idea what this means.  She just now posted it on my MSN thingy and I'm not gonna bother asking about it.  Caps 'n all.  That's how she rolls, friends.  She's also extremely adorable because she says "cuppy cakes."

So! Two weeks from now, I'll be happily settled into my friends' apartment in Norway.  Prior to that though, I'll be heading to the provincial park of my childhood! Though I'm afraid there will be hordes of black flies, but Dad has those special jackets to keep those off me.  Cuz the last thing I want is to go traipsing about Europe with a neckful of nasty bug bites.

It's gonna be fun.


There it is.  Took that picture last September.  Gorgeous place, really.

I also had a fascinating idea that, quite honestly, makes me want to bust out laughing at the idea of me actually succeeding at it.  I've always wanted to be a published author.  I like to think I have some pretty good ideas and such, but the plots and all that of my stories are intricate.  Possibly, what I should be is a short story writer or a comic book writer (which is still a dream of mine).

But then I had the idea today: Why not write some erotic fiction?The idea cracks me up so bad, I made a horrible snorting sound when I laughed about it.

I could so totally pull this off...
 
It's an amusing thought.  I'll keep it in mind.  Some sort of anthology, perhaps?
 
...who the hell am I kidding? It'd be fucking hilarious for me to pull this crap off.  I'll think about it!
 
I also got a new PC this past week.  Works like a dream! It even has built-in wi-fi capabilities, mua ha haaa!  There's only my Dad's connection available to me in this area, mind you, but it's the thought that counts.  And I'm using it too.  My monitor is 21,5 inches and far superior to anything else I've ever had, so hell!  I'm happy as can be, right now! Less wear on my laptop and lots more storage space (1 TB).

Anyhow, new Supernatural tonight! Smallville ended last week, so that won't be in the way anymore.  I heard they're doing another season of Supernatural, so I'm quite psyched about that.  I also got my hands on the series Angel.  First episode showed quite a bit of promise! Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a very "teenager" vibe to it.  Angel, on the other hand, makes me feel a bit more "adult" versus the Buffy vibe.  I like that.

I also realized that I haven't mentioned a really good friend of mine in my blog yet, either.  This would be Army.  He's picked on me a few times about it and I've shrugged it off but in all seriousness, Army is one of my closest internet friends.

Army is from Finland (of course, Army isn't his real name).  We met on a World of Warcraft server and I'm absolutely delighted that we did.  Army is sensible.  He's funny (in my opinion) and I just freakin' love talking to him.  We have the funnest conversations.  He's also my guinea pig when I need to test something involving my webcam or headset.

This past week, he let me watch him eat sausage.  Of course, being a person with her mind in the gutter of hilarity, I had to make comments.  He didn't seem to mind.  Army seems to enjoy my sense of humor, which is great! He also has a rather amazing voice.  When I first heard it, I decided to start calling him Count Dracula.  Army's voice is very deep and he has a remarkable accent.  Mind you, Dracula (the historic figure) was Romanian, but I still think calling him Count Dracula is pretty freakin' epic.

We're very good friends.  I know he'd do anything for me (within reason, I wouldn't make ridiculous demands) and he doesn't seem to mind at all whenever I go on a rant over something or other.  He makes me laugh, he has good taste in music and even though we don't have huge conversations every day, I really like that we can randomly start up a conversation and then just go our own ways without having to worry about butthurtedness such as, "OMG, you didn't message me right away!!"  We're mellow like that.


So now he can't say I never mentioned him on my blog.  He's helped me a lot and kept me optimistic and positive through some pretty tough times, like a real friend would.  We haven't met face to face (yet?!) but it doesn't matter.  He's one of my closest friends and I live a better life for having a friend like him.

Thanks, Army! <3
 
Now Supernatural will be on soon!  Gotta go watch that! Hope ya'll are doing well and having an excellent Friday.
Pip pip, cheerio!

Hoo, it's been a while...

I realize I've been slacking in the blogging quite a bit! This entry might not even have pictures in it sadly, but maybe I'll get a brilliant idea and find a picture for whatever idea pops in my head.  We shall see!

Kinda lots of news to bring up.  I went to my Mom's for Easter.  Sadly, we got some annoying stomach flu and we got sick for a few days.  That was rather unpleasant.  I'm delighted to report that Mom's quit smoking and she's actually drinking a lot less.  Major life changes for her, in my opinion, and I made sure to let her know how proud of her I am.  Seriously, I walked into the house and noticed right away that the smell of cigarette smoke wasn't at all as bad as it used to be.  My stepdad still smokes a bit but he does try to do it out in the garage when he can.

My home situation hasn't really improved (though there is a light at the end of the tunnel).  I've started referring to my grandmother as the rotten old hag.  I realize this might make me seem like an ingrate, but seriously...she's been like this my entire life and hasn't really gotten any better over the years.  Yesterday, as I was getting ready to leave the house to go to the store, she took a look at me and told me to bring her all of my pairs of jeans because she wanted to shorten the cuffs (or is it hems?)on them.  I gave her a look and said, "No.  You're not altering my jeans, they're fine the way they are."  I personally like the slightly frayed look and told her so.  I half-expected to come home and discover she'd rummaged through  my clothes and done it anyway.

It would be just like her.

Anyhow, Dad is heading out to go camping soon.  He'll be setting up at the same provincial park he's always camped in.  I'll be going with him to help him set up, so I'll be leaving on May 25th and back after that weekend.   And here comes the good part...

When we get back from setting up his campsite (he's a seasonal camper, so he'll be set up there all summer and into fall), I'll be packing my suitcase and heading to Norway to visit my glorious Norwegian.  I'll be leaving June 1st and returning July 6th.  It's a long time to be away, but...I really want this.  I'll be starting school in September and throwing myself into it as hard as I can so I don't know what the next five years will be like, so...I'm taking this opportunity.

And the glorious Norwegian is just that awesome.

So I'm really excited.  Though today, I'm quite sore.  Dad's what we call an "old boy" in French.  So since we were preparing his trailer for camping, I went full-on cleaning mode and attacked the place with cleaning supplies.  He was going to cut corners but I wouldn't let him.  His bathroom especially needed cleaning.  He kept insisting it didn't, but I ignored him and did it anyway.  It was kinda pretty nasty in there.


There it is! This picture's from last year, though.  And he flies an American flag because I lived in California for quite a few years.  It's good to be back in Canada, though.

So! Today was quite busy.  We're also slightly annoyed because we went to Tim Hortons to buy some coffee mugs and they only sell the ceramic ones around Christmas time! What the hell is up with that, seriously?  Ludicrous, I tell you.

Can't wait to go to Norway.  I'm so totally going to enjoy myself.  I plan on leaving my laptop behind, though.  My glorious host will let me check messages and such but I don't plan on doing computer stuff while I'm there.  He'll have a lovely stack of Terry Pratchett books I can read! And there's already a movie list cropping up.  And I'm seriously in the mood to watch a certain one over and over.


This has been one of my favorite movies for a while.  No, I won't tell you why.  It should be obvious! Maybe.

I'm so looking forward to this trip.  And now my cleaning antics have finally worn me down and I should attempt that sleep thing.

Which reminds me...the rotten old hag has this daily morning ritual of banging on the front window to scare off cats or pigeons from the bird feeder.  I realized today that ever since I've come to live here, I have not woken up naturally.  I wake up startled and my heart pounding so hard that I feel dizzy.  Seriously sucks...can't wait to get out of here for a while.

Mua ha!
