I am sitting at the computer with nothing to do (yeah right) so I thought I should make a little blogpost now that I seem to have some time.
I've been very busy this week and it's not over yet. More stuff is planned and I will not be at home much at all! Very weird. I am not used to a lot of happenings. But it has been a lot of fun! I have met some awesome people and it has been so amazing!
SOMEONE (not giving any names here...She knows who she is...) got me to watch Dr. Quinn a while ago and I am so in love with the series! I have watched it years ago when I was little and I remember that I loved it, so it is so much fun to watch it again. They don't make series like this anymore. If I remember correctly I had a bit of a crush on Sully when I was younger...
Wow... I'm in this mood where I actually really want to blog, but I'm not exactly sure what I want to say. I guess it's just a need to express something, whatever that something may be, and I'm not really inspired enough to try to turn that energy into writing any form of fiction.
I've gotten into another period of reading massive amounts of fanfiction however, ironically enough HP stuff. I am not really emotionally connected to those books att all, but I'll be damned if I'm not consuming huge amounts of fiction based on the characters. Actually just two, Draco and Hermione. Something about that pairing just keeps me coming back for more, eventhough most of the stories doesn't even depict the characters as I remember them from the books at all. I have yet to find a fic where Draco is anything but a creature of sublime beauty and incredible intelligence (this goes for the fics I like too actually)... Not really the guy I pictured him to be. When it comes to Hermione people just seem to have this aversion to the word "brown", her eyes and hair are described with a multitude of words of varying degrees of appropriateness but hardly ever are they said to be just plain old brown.
But I'm not going to sit here and bitch about everything that's "wrong" with Draco/Hermione fics, or just fanfiction in general. People write what they want, and most of the time it just so happens that it's not what I want. Yet another reason to get back to my writing, I suppose.
Therefore, to change the subject slightly: I've gotten myself an account on Library Thing, where you catalogue your books online, and see who else owns the same books as you and stuff along those lines. It is strangely addictive: www.librarything.com
In a few days I will once more try my hand at classic roleplaying, the kind with dices and actually seeing the people you're playing with. Call of Cthulu. I feel sorry for the others in the gang, because I suck at this kind of thing. HARD. But apparently that's ok and they still want me there, so yay for me having awesome friends!
I think I'll actually just wrap this thing up now, see y'all later!
Not gonna say I'm sorry for not blogging, cause then I will just be saying it all the time and you will all get bored. Haha. And probably hate me.
I read all the Twilight books again. I don't know why I did it but I did. And a while ago Twilight and New Moon gave me a heartattack by falling from my shelf in the middle of the night. I was not happy. And they are still on the floor because I am that lazy. They wanted to kill themselves.
Just for the record, I don't hate the books or the movies for that matter. I don't love them either, but I don't hate them. I'm just not a person that hate stuff I guess. I think it's fun that the books create such big emotions in people. And divide people in to two groups. Those who hate and those who love. And they are always fighting!
Okay, enough of Twilight.
Tomorrow my mom has been sober for 21 years. Not a drop of alcohol in 21 years. Pretty awesome, ey? Gonna celebrate that a bit tomorrow which is awesome! And I'm gonna have to cancel on my friends that asked me for a drink tomorrow...I totally forgot that I already had plans when one of them asked me. I so rarely have anything to do.
I don't know if you remember, but a while back I posted a youtube video that was a trailer for an upcoming movie, The Timetraveler's Wife. I was really excited that they'd made the movie, since it is based on one of my absolute all time favourite books.
I tried to keep track of the movie to see if it came here to Sweden and yet I still managed to miss that it was apparently released here in bloddy OCTOBER! I'm pretty sad right now because it was one of those movie-releases that I really looked forward to on a personal level. I don't fangirl that many thing that intensely really, so it was a pretty sad experience for me to realise that when something that really means something to me was coming here, I missed it despite my best efforts not to. I've actually been wondering for months what the hell happened to that movie. Well, now I know.
I saw Twilight four or five times in the theatre, and I don't even like those books (the shock of how much better I thought the movie was kept me coming back, plus, those movies makes me happy), and I didn't even get to see this one once. Speaking of the Twilight-movies, does anyone know if Stephenie Meyers gets some kind of percentage on the movies' incomes? Because then I may have to stop watching them. Apparently SM gives ten percent of her income to her church, a church that works actively to decrease gay rights in America.
The DVD of The Timetraveler's Wife is released tomorrow, so I guess that's something. A friend of mine has said that the movie really isn't that good and that the book is way better, but people tend to say that and often I find myself disagreeing, so I'll keep my hopes up. Now I'll finish off this post with once again posting the beautiful trailer.
Sorry for being a bad blogger again. There has been so much happening lately (hrhm, i wonder if anyone believe me...) Well anyways.
I've been watching a lot of anime lately and one that I really like at the moment is Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. It's so good! I recommend it to everyone!
Hello, dear blog, dear readers, dear Emma. I’m sorry it’s taken me such a long while to get back to writing here, but life has been happening all around me so I haven’t found the time to do this. 2010 is looking to be an odd year, but a good one. I need to cut some things out of my schedule so I get more time on my hands, because I’ve been really stressed out lately. These last couple of days were downright scary. Every morning I went back to sleep after waking up, and kept sleeping all day! Waking up at four in the afternoon, not quite sure how that happened, is not a pleasant feeling at all, I can tell you guys.
Right now I’m waiting for the wife to get home, she’s had a really rough day today, a big test and absolutely no sleep at all (I should know, I was keeping her company). We’re both absolutely knackered so this night’s activities will probably only be us chowing down on some fast-food before falling into a coma.
I’ll start wrapping things up now because I just acutely ran out of things to say. I promise I’ll be more interesting next time. I’ll finish with recommending you a really awesome book: Suite Scarlett, by Maureen Johnson. It’s witty and fun and manages to create characters that are really exceptional but still feel like real people that you can relate to and understand. It’s warm and welcoming and really draws you in. My only problem with it is that, like many books with teenage main characters, a lot of the plot evolves around people getting caught up in their own lies, and I have a real hard time tackling that kind of plot, but that is just personal preference and I still liked the characters enough to keep reading even when all I wanted was to give all of them a good smack. So, Suite Scarlett, check it out!
Oh, and here is a little youtube clip that NEVER fails to both crack me up and piss me off at the same time. I mean, when you actually think about the fact that these lines are meant to be taken seriously, and probably were considered to be romantic at the time, then there is nothing funny about it at all, it’s just depressing. But still… I can’t help but laugh at it, because it’s just that stupid.
First I want to apologize for being away for so long. New Years and stuff just came in the way and I just had to concentrate on life...BUT now I am back again and will be writing blogpost again. Let's be happy about that, shall we! I hope that Hanna will come back too...it would be sad to blog alone, when this is a two person blog...
Just sayin'
So, how was your New Years? Mine was awesome! Even if it was cold and I lost all feeling in my fingers at some point, but I still had a lot of fun with my friends and awesome people. I would not change anything.
So 2010 is now here and it's pretty cool. This will totally be my year (I might say that every year...). But I do really think that this year will be amazing!
