Wishing there was an app so I can put an auto play music player on my FB page. It's a bummer. :/
Oh, and I am having a cinnamon filled cup of coffee, it tastes sandy but it's 'ight. |
The books my mom and I ordered came! Ever heard of The Giver? I hadn't, but my mom read the first one right after it came out in 1993. She knew there was a sequel, but she didn't know there were two, so we went ahead and ordered the trilogy box set. They're so much smaller than I expected, but oh well.
Time to read! |
watching jeremy kyle with my family and my girlfriend
|
Downloaded Setra and a house of 214 mb. Takes forever to place the house.
|
doing a romantic meal for my girlfriend
|
Have a house showing to go to at 1:30. We didn't get the last house because they wouldn't take our dogs. Something about the carpet. Then we looked at another on a different end of town, now we're going to look at this one which is in the same neighborhood as the last perfect house. Confusing? Yes.
I'm trying to decide what I want to do: read my new books or play Sims. My rabbit-millionaire Sims are having their eighth child, but this book is really good. Decisions, decisions... |
Getting an early night. I just want to sleep at the moment. Of course my brother has decided now's the time to start playing his guitar...
|
Watching House md with my girlfriend
|
Just got back from the showing. Loved the house. The owners just have to approve our dogs then we'll most likely get it! It's a first-come, first-serve thing, and we're the first ones since the last person backed out.
Girls, pray for us, please. We need this house. |
Settling in for another marathon of The Office. I've got the period blues and all I want to do is find my own Jim Halpert and drink tea for the rest of my life.
|
My rabbit-millionaires are now having their ninth (and hopefully tenth and eleventh, too..) child(ren). There's a reason I call them rabbits. And a reason I call them millionaires - 1.3 mil and counting, all earned.
I'm waiting for dinner to cook and about to get back to work on the rabbits. I want to see how much money they can accumulate before the husband dies. Oh, and my mom saw the house. Everyone loves it. Eeeeeeee. |
We bought a 24-case cupcake tray yesterday and so I'm turning my lemon-sour cream cake batter in to lemon-sour cream cupcakes with lemon icing
![]() |
making my girlfriend pancakes for breakfast
|
Listening to Vocaloid covers of human songs. Namely Lady Gaga and Katy Perry songs.
I can't tell if it's bad or good when the Vocaloids sound better than the human. I think it's good XD... Also I'm extremely anxious about this house. We're supposed to hear back today whether we got it or not. (And my H key is being annoying.) |
getting ready to have a family day with my whole family
|
I'm torn about being happy about last night because it was so lovely or being sad that I'm not going see him for three weeks.
|
Finished my huge project!
![]() Next up: minor English project and Shakespearean sonnet reading. *cracks knuckles* Let's do this! |
I just finished applying for the residential halls I want to live in when I move to Melbourne next year for university. Fingers crossed I get into my top preference!
|
Updating my Fae legacy blog
|
My mom loved her Nook, and even the journal I got her. Funny thing was, the Nook's case and the journal matched - they were both red, by chance XD.
Now I'm going to celebrate Sims Mother's Day by giving my hard-working rabbit mom a new house. The apartment thing just isn't working out. Don't worry, I'll spend time with my mom... |
Wondering if the boy will get online tonight because I really, really need to talk to him.
|
Well this is my day off in theory. In practice, I'm waiting to go to work. This is the 14th day straight of my working and I now have another two days to go before I get two measly days off. 16 days in a row is very tiring!
|
I know I've always said I think e-readers are stupid (maybe not on Mod, but I do), but...
I want a Nook so bad. Now that I've used one for a day, it's grown on me immensely. My plan is to own a Nook, buy/read books on it, but still collect physical books. Because I still want my big home library, but I just love the Nook so much that I want one, too. I'm kind of sharing, I guess, my mom's with her (that is, she's letting me read a book on it) for now, but I really want one of my own. Maybe it's just the coolness of the new toy talking, who knows, but that's how I feel right now. It's just, it would be so, so nice for traveling to be able to take nearly all of my library with me, then have physical books to come home to and stare at. I know this'll take probably twice as much money (not to mention the cost of the Nook itself) to keep up my collection, but I'm okay with that. Now I have a question for you girls, if you've read this far. Which should I ask for for my birthday - a book shopping trip or a Nook? Thank you for reading this ramble. |
watching sun,sea and a&e with my mum and girlfriend
|
Waiting for my paper on civil disobedience to write itself.
|
Hoping that if I sleep with my notecards under my pillow tonight, the process of osmosis will ensure that by 10am tomorrow morning I'll know everything I need to know for my three hour exam.
|
Watching Fractale and waiting for my teacher. Epic show so far, I recommend it!
|
Just watch my middle toe on my left foot twitch for, like, ten minutes.
|
Sitting here with an actual cup of tea - and enjoying it! Dilmah's Exceptional Berry Sensation tea is actually quite nice :P
|
Watching tv with my girlfriend and then going to make us some breakfast
|
Drinking a bucket sized mug of coffee, listening to too loud music and probably will go study history in a minute...or an hour.
|
Going to settle in for a Fractale marathon. It's such a short series, a marathon will conclude it.
|
I just spent an hour re-writing, by hand, my project that the school lost. If this doesn't show dedication, what does?
|
Just finished packing my bag for the trip up north tomorrow.
Bring it on, family road trip! I've got books galore, epic music, a journal, and even some floss. I'm ready for whatever sights and sounds my family throws at me. Now for bed. Night! |
Playing fruit ninja and wishing I wasn't such a procrastinator.
|
Chilling in the kitchen, waiting for my (late) lunch to cook and doing coursework.
|
Watching some of my childhood shows (Totally Spies, W.I.T.C.H,Winx Club, Fullmetal Alchemist) and eating frozen mango :D
|
I'm tucked up in bed with a cup of tea and some lovely music after a long day on my feet. I'll forever be thoroughly convinced that nothing is more magical than the feeling you get when you lie down on your bed after a hard day.
|
Watching Chelsea Lately until I fall asleep . . .
|
Preparing for the trip that was supposed to happen on Saturday. Got the Nook charging (again) and I'm going to pack my bag soon. Gotta wake my dad up in 15 minutes. We're leaving around 9 or 10, going to get there at 11-12, stay for at least 3 hours then start home so we can pick up my mom from work.
Fun day ahead, I think! It's kind of funny, we'll be spending more time in the car than at our destination. Oh well. |
Drinking green tea and watching Futurama.
|

I was stealing my Dad's Kindle previously, and this new Touch is even easier for me to read I've found. Plus it's that much easier to carry around with you when you're travelling. Also, the books are marvellously cheap. I would much, much rather pay $5.50 for a 600 page book than fork out $50 in a book shop here. You get access to a much larger range of titles this way too. Just thought I should write this before I fall asleep. I've just put a dozen titles on to my new 'book' so I now have plenty to read in Sydney and on the flight from there to London in 11 days, and only have to worry about it weighing about 200 grams. Night ladies =^) |

But you're right, Kindle and Nook books are cheaper than a hardback book, usually. I plan on getting a Nook tablet just because it supports B&N, and because I've secretly always wanted a tablet. I've decided I'm going to buy it with my own money, because $250 (for the 16GB model) is way too much even for a Christmas present. Have fun with your Kindle! |
Books are rather expensive here, as you may have guessed, lol. Hardback books are usually closer to the $60-70 range. So $5-10 a book is greatly preferable. The only real downside (which won't actually affect you) is that where we live, we are barred from purchasing e-books online from certain American & European publishers. They claim copyright reasons, but all they're doing is lowering their sales and driving the customers to look for free alternatives elsewhere.
Anyway, enjoy your Nook when you get one ! ![]() Now I'm off to get ready for a long day at work, all the while fighting to not come down with a cold. I don't need this right before I leave! |
I hate Bridgeport, the Late Night city. Why? Because it has precious few gem spawners. My gem collectors are forced to downgrade to Sunset Valley, and I can't have a perfect, mastered-every-skill Sim in Bridgeport because its gem selection is teeny.
Okay, I don't necessarily hate it (I adore it and its views) but this just pisses me off. Actually, can anyone confirm that you can get every non-vacation destination gem in Bridgeport? Because if anyone can, I'll try a gem collector there. If not, I'm not bothering. |
Met Steven Taylor yesterday. He's such a cutie!!
|
I'm seeing my best friend tonight for the first time since March. I hope it's going to be good.
|
My cat's sleeping and I'm just staring at him. His paw is held out in a way that screams, "Kiss the paw."
He's adorable, but I'm still convinced that he's going to take over the world and have dogs and humans as his slaves. Don't question his powers. |
Is it weird that my entire wardrobe, not counting undergarments, consists entirely of gray t-shirts and jeans? That's seriously all I wear. I've been wearing the same stuff for well over 3 years.
I'm not ashamed of how I look. To be perfectly honest, I don't give two craps about how I look, as long as I don't look terrible. It just seems like after grade school, I stopped caring about my clothes. Which is probably weird because most girls start caring more about how they look as they become teenagers. I just don't think it's worth my time trying to put together outfits (I have no sense of style, if you hadn't guessed) or worth my money buying expensive clothes when I could be buying books (and I'm a giant nerd). I guess it's just another rule of society that I've never followed. Ramble over. |
Je suis heureux =) I bought a French language skills CD so I can actually put sentences together when I speak the language. I can generally read it all right but at the moment sentences are beyond me
![]() |
I have to leave for work in 25 minutes and I'm having a really hard time not just crawling back into bed. I was not sufficiently prepared for working so many impromptu late/early shifts this week!
|
I got halfway to the mailbox before I realized that today's a holiday... there is no mail. Crap. I wanted my keys -.-... ah well.
Now I'm going to marathon Heroic Age and finish it. |
Downloading things off of MTS for the sims 2 :D
|
So, park day was today at my mom's school. Good god, I've never seen so many screaming kids in one place. Strangely, but luckily, the only time I got freaked out was on the bus to the park. Figures.
I cannot wait until Friday. Why? Not because it's the end of the second-to-last week of school, oh no. Because it's the day we officially rent the house! I wanted to say own, but we don't, so. It's also the day we can start moving stuff over, which means MY BOOKS CAN COME OUT OF THEIR BOXES!! My poor books, all cooped up in the boxes.. I know they desperately want out, and I can't wait to unpack them, even though they'll have no shelves to go on. Can you tell that I'm loopy with exhaustion? Yeah. I can. Gnight. |
Doing a last bit of research on the Kindle Touch. I'm pretty certain I'm going to buy one tonight but I just want to make sure I'm going to be happy with it before I go off and spend $160.
|
^ It is soooooo easy to read, and feels much nicer to hold than the original Kindle. Good, long battery life and room for lots of books.
Just had dinner so now i'm blobbed in the arm chair before I go finish tidying my room at last. |
Writing a paper. Yay.
|
Eating Necco's and waiting for someone to reply to my last post, lol xD
|
Writing a small/might-be-deleted story based on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tktcOUi-x-A. The mutations in it just inspired me to write, so I did.
Probably done for now. Going to settle in to some Sims or anime now. Or actually, probably going to go to bed soon, seeing as I have to get up in 12 hours. |
New day, and I really need to ramble a little somewhere.
I'm totally planning on cosplaying Lucy Heartfilia for Anime Expo 2013. I can't do it this year for a few reasons. One, I'm not the right size. Two, we can't afford to go. And three, I'll be the right age next year. My parents are great at sewing, and my mom's made Halloween costumes for me before, so I'm sure they can make my outfit, instead of buying one for $100+. Another reason I really want to is because of the keys she uses. I have 3, the rest are cheap to buy, so if I get a whip I can totally do it right. Nerdy? Totally. Silly? Hell no. I've (sort of) always wanted to be a cosplayer, and this is the first opportunity I have to do it, so I'm going to take it. Ramble over. |
Longest day ever and I'm too tired to think straight, but I'm finally snuggled up in my own bed which is nice.
|
Filling out application forms and feeling wildly inadequate.
Edit: 'Please give details of any hobbies and interests'... I deeply resent having to provide that information, mostly because I seem to lack any interests that actually sound, well, interesting, but also because it's largely irrelevant to the job. Let's face it, I'm not going to be hanging out with these people in my spare time. |
New day, new projects. Today we're insulating the new house's garage door and moving my books and my two small bookcases over.
This would be tons more fun if it wasn't 103 degrees out. Bleh. EDIT: Okay, door didn't get insulated, but that's on the agenda for tomorrow. Got 3 boxes of books over, though. |
I've been considering exchanging my old and most trusted PC for a laptop, for the sake of escaping my room anytime while browsing. But I can't just let my PC go, it's been with me for over 7 years now.
Playing FB games and being bored. :/ |
Packing my carry-on bag. My suitcase is in the lounge waiting to go, so all that's needed now is to get some sleep and be at the airport in just under 9 hours
![]() |
About to leave for the (outdoors) village Jubilee celebrations. Two years in the planning and it's raining...
|
talking to my bestfriend on skype
|
![]() Yep, two men wearing matching Union Jack printed outfits. Patriotism at its best. |
Just casually sitting in Sydney Airport waiting for my next flight to Singapore. This is so surreal!
Edit: I've been here since 9AM Sydney time and it's now 2:26PM . . . get me on this plane! (Thank goodness for the free wi-fi throughout the airport!) |
Downloading a book to the Nook and craving more chips.
I got a new rolling bag thing from my mom today. It holds sooo much stuff.. great for hauling things to do to the new house. Can't wait to use it tomorrow. Off to read! |
watching Hocus Pocus with my mum and girlfriend
|
On a mad NerdzRL vlog-watching marathon to catch up on a week of videos before tomorrow morning, when she uploads her 1000th video.
Hey, don't judge, I've been at this for like eight months, trying to catch up. I've gone from 5 months to one week. I'm doing this, no matter how tired I am. |
Killing time by playing every single game I know on Facebook, oh look my friend is online. :D
|
Getting ready to go out and visit Oakley and see my old house. I get to meet my friend I haven't seen since I was five today!! After years of correspondence I'm so excited! :D
|
Trying to decide whether to go to a party tomorrow evening or not. It would be nice to get out of the house, but the party's in London and the only person I'm going to know there is the host unless I can persuade a friend to come along.
|
I have just now conjured a new expression to replace a very stupid expression. Goodbye, YOLO. Hello, Living Like Larry. I'm such a child. :3
|
Listening to Miku and being tired.
Long day was long. |
Drinking tea and watching Numb3rs. I've had such a lovely weekend so far.
|
Reading Hyperbole and a Half because I'm feeling sad and tired and useless today.
|
Singing and practicing, I don't why but whenever I start singing I start shaking so bad, it's upsetting, really.
|
I think I'm going to go bug my dad to start working on a test for making a temporary tattoo. I want to see the Fairy Tail symbol on my hand so bad. And I want to know if it's possible to get it there at all.
Also, we're having pizza for dinner. Yummmmmyyy. |
Trying to get this red juice stain out of my shirt. I just bought this shirt yesterday, YESTERDAY, and my boyfriend spills juice all over it.
|
So the tattoo thing didn't quite work. Phooey. We have other methods in mind, though.
Right now I'm listening to Linkin Park and probably about to go to bed. Tomorrow I need to start finishing packing my room. I also need to do some US History homework, some Rosetta Stone, some translating, some reading... Damn moving, I HAVE NO TIME TO DO ANYTHING ELSE. I'll be glad when all this crap is over. And I have to start like 3 other subjects for summer school this week, too. I'm so glad I'm getting a 3-week break between bouts of summer school, because I'll need to get caught up on what I can't do this week because of moving. Did any of that make the slightest bit of sense? Probably not. Goodnight. |
Nibbling on some grapes and listening to records and planning my week. Work all day tomorrow, coffee and catch up with friends on Thursday, relaxation/pampering on Friday, working all day again on Saturday, then my best friend is coming to visit me on Sunday so I'll be busy all day.
|
Posting this post and waiting for my tutor to come and do the register.
|
Trying to decide whether or not England is going to rain on me again and if I should brave taking a walk to the local post office to buy some stamps.
|
Posting this post and thinking on what I am going to do to night, do some revison for my maths exam tomorrow or write on either witch queen or my big story which is close to compeltion.
|
Just finished my English final and walked home from school with a very nice girl who lives a street away from me. :3 One down, three to go!
|
Trying to think of a decent haircut to get if I ever manage to go to the coiffure tonight, which probably won't happen, but I am sick of how my hair looks and besides, I am going out tomorrow and I want to look good. And I am basically counting the minutes till I go wake up my dad so we can go. :3
|
Looking up who was born on the same day as me (not the same year). I have some pretty good people born on my birthday!
|
Eagerly waiting for the steak to be ready. It appears I'm having lunch at 12 am again.
|
Eating garlic bread and pasta. Holy crap yum!
EDIT: In fifteen minutes, I managed to eat six pieces of garlic bread and a bowl of pasta. Oink, oink. |
I just came back from a failed shopping trip, seriously, why is everything so...yuck? Anyway, I am checking out a few sites before I go to bed, got a big day ahead of me.
|
Trying to cool off before my teacher gets here. It's so hot, the heat gave me a headache.
I don't want to do school.. but I have to because we have precious little time (less than a week) to get this stuff started. |
Chewing bubble gum and surfing in the Internet
![]() |
Drinking a latte, listening to some tunes on Youtube and being generally bored.
|
Just got back from setting up internet and cable at the new house.
HOLY CRAP I've never seen such fast internet. A 7:25 Youtube video on 720p loaded in 22 seconds. I'M SO AMAZED. And it's my birthday and shit. :D |
Looking at this site. Holy crap, this is hilarious!
|
My birthday dinner won't be ready till almost 9...
Oh well. It'll be delicious, so I don't care. Also, I'm listening to a really upbeat song. I don't think it'd be possible to feel down with this song. I'm just so happy today anyways :D |
Writing and listening to my playlist entitled, "Writing Music". It has been a good day so far.
