In the Mouth of Madness

God, it's so wonderful up here. All the trees are dressed in their best autumn colours (we call them the drag queens of Nature ;) ) and the air is just cleaner and crisper in a way you just don't get in Denmark.

I love being here and getting to hang out with ldybastet all the time, and her mum, is fantastic! We've talked so much, my brain simply melts in the evening and insists on switching from English to Danish in silly ways. It would be embarrassing if it weren't so funny :))

And I have to admit, I've been converted to a new and fresh (for me) and still on-going Fandom. Not rabidly so, but Bleach has definitely captured my interest and attention instantly. We've watched nearly 30 episodes so far of the anime series, and I just want to watch the rest as soon as possible LOL.

So I'll be keeping an eye out for Bleach fic/art to feed my inner fangirl even more.

That's not saying that I'm moving away from HP fandom though. I love it and the characters far too much, and still read as much as I can manage.

This is a fantastic holiday so far, and I'm sure it'll stay that way! I still have 3-4 days with the amazing ldybastet and then I have my birthday party coming up!! Can life get much better than that?

Life is Great!

I love you all, my wonderful f-list.

I really need holiday.

REALLY!

In less than two weeks I've basically (almost) done a month's work. o.o I still can't believe I managed it. Apparently I totally rawk at my job :D

And until monday, I hadn't actually and consciously realised that OMG there's only a week more until holiday. LOL shows just how much brain I have at the moment (Imma-Brain = nada)

But yay!!!! In less than a week I'll be on the plane to Sweden for a near-week of fun, laughter, relaxation together with the wonderful ldybastet, I still can't believe it! I'm so bouncy about it, it defies my exhaustion. I'm going to sleep through this weekend to be clear-headed enough to make at least a little bit of sense LOL

I'll try to log onto Y!M tomorrow and all weekend and basically until I sit on the plane and have to turn off the lappie, so we can sort out the last details and just ... hang out, warming up for the visit. Wheeeeee! Sweden and Sweet Bastet. Is there any better way to spend a holiday? (when you exclude watching and perving on obviously hot and nekkid men in hot places serving cool drinks ;)) )

I really can't wait.

And when I get home, I'll get started on preparing the last things (like shopping and COOKING the food for 40+ guests) for my birthday party. I'm looking so much forward to that. It's a great challenge and I get to make food that's been essential for the last year of my life, and will stay essential for the rest of it as well.

40 different dishes. Okay, so it's 40 different kinds of foodstuffs (salads, veggie mixes, oven potatoes, different kinds of meat, different kinds of bread etc etc) to symbolise the 40 kg's I've lost by now since week 42 2009.

So yeah, high ambitions but I have great help and i'm a good cook. I love cooking. I'd do it for a living, if working in a kitchen on a daily basis together with other cooks can and will drive you insane eventually *G*

Anyhoo... that's my life atm.

Love you all :D

I listened to a man (Simon Steenholm) talk for 2,5 hours last night, and almost everything he said is something I've done subconsciously during the last year, perhaps even longer.

( cut for your convenience because omg, rambling teal dears are all over this post )

Using one of my passages in an old unfinished Silmarillion co-written fic, I got this:





I think I like this result :D

... two drabbles?

15 minutes each, 150 words each. Alright, I admit I had to sit around and think on it for a long while before I even found pen and paper. But still... and my true love really is my brain, these days. *cuddles it*

The prompts are from the ever lovely and ever wicked iamisaac in a post on Livejournal (I promise, I'll get to the last one too, just... argh! Selfinsertion is not my force!)

( Cut for your convenience and sanity )

Started my 2 week holiday today... by waking up at 5, unable to fall asleep again LOL It's the usual time I get up, but still. That unbearably reliable inner clock should have received the memo by now, that the Imma is on holiday and would like to sleep at least to 7 am. Pretty please with sugar on top.

Ah well, perhaps tomorrow.

After trundling around doing nothing other than enjoying I had nothing to do, I finally decided to clean the flat o.o

I know! Crazy!

And then I even sorted two big black bags of clothes and threw all out I didn't need anymore.

And went for a walk, first visiting my dad's house, where my stepsis was, and then out to mum's house for coffee, 3 hours of sunshine (ouch) and talking. It was really nice. I appreciate that the summer begins when my holiday begins. The current weather schedule gets my stamp of approval and I rate it to an A- (because of the clouds).

Now I'm back home, looking through the links I've been given by the wonderful people on my f-list, noting down prompts I'd like to do. So who knows, the next update might be a *gasp* drabble! (don't hold your breath though, I'd rather not have people keeling over on my behalf ;) )

So yeah, a wonderful day so far and not a single thing in sight worth whining over.

That has to be a first O.O

<3

It's almost weird to write a journal entry, it's been so long.

Of course, it's mostly one of those 'I'm alive, don't send flowers yet' posts.

My brain is waking up though, after several years of hibernation due to stress/depression I was hit by in 2007 (omg, has it been so long?), and finds itself somewhat ... empty? LOL Creatively at least, since I miss writing and drawing so much it hurts. And yet I can't truly find any inspiration. It needs kick-starting I think, and even though I've tried several times already - and thus owe several fics/drawings/creations all around (which will get done, I promise!) - I think I've not been really ready before now.

I tried to start up RP'ing again in a LoTR game, but sadly ... it's dwindled to non-activity, which is the fate of many games *sighs* It's even more sad though, since my LoTR muses were clawing to get out and were bouncing about with ideas. So much, I even thought it could inspire me to actually start writing fic again in that fandom (or finish fics that have been dormant for years). But then the lack of any playing (and a few other issues) just slapped them down again. Perhaps that's a bad excuse, but when you end up playing with the same 2 (absolutely wonderful and incredibly creative people) while all others more or less ignore you or start up playing only to abandon the thread after 4-5 comments, then you get really discouraged :/ and start to wonder if you really suck that much.

Which is bad for those budding creative urges, we all know this.

I've then been looking at the old fic-prompt communities of the Theatrical Muse kind, but am somewhat dismayed to see them nearly empty, at least compared to back in 2005/2006. And I'm rather sure I'll need a very active community as inspiration, in order to get anything done at all.

Anybody got any ideas?

(x-posted on LJ)

Is facebook down or am I being blocked? O.o I haven't been able to access the site since last night :(

We interupt the usual programme of Emo for this important announcement:

Smile!

Thank you, tarotgoddess108 for sending me this link today, and making me smile.


You, dear F-list, are amazing and wonderful! You are great and beautiful, and the world is a richer place because of YOU! Yes, also you in the back.

So, my cell phone was stolen this morning. Yay! Just what I needed. It had pictures of my family, friends, London..., numbers, old saved text messages... in short, a lot of memories stored over the last 2½ years. And now it's gone. *cries*

I want it back, damn it!

I have a new one though, and this is a bit amusing.

It is pink.

Chart, you know this colour tone... it would go marvelously, no SPLENDIDLY (this is my new favourite word *g*) with your hair <.< In fact, I think I could hide it in your hair and nobody would see it.

I have never in my life owned anything pink voluntarily, unless it was given to me. 

The things you do to save money, huh?

I have pictures from London Zoo. Especially some rather adorable Red River Hogs and ... now now , children, be calm... a SLOTH! There's also a melted Bean, but that requires a longer explanation *g* I'll upload them the moment my brain actually functions again from this hell week of getting back to work.

And I miss you all! It was such a good time in London at the tiny-con... I want to do it again next year...and the year after! And you have to be there! Or I shall cry *wibbles with puppy eyes*

Mwahahahah

It's a REALLY long time since I've laughed this hard.

I'm extremely glad I moved to InsaneJournal. It's a lovely site with a lot of great features and a wonderful admin who understands the value of open and honest communication. I can definitely live with the small glitches and downtimes now and then and mistakes, because I know Squeaky (sys.admin) will be on the case in a matter of hours and keep us all updated on the progress.

This only makes me more happy to have left LJ behind. It's very clear LJ's new owners have nothing but contempt for their users if we do anything other than pat their backs or keep our mouths shut.

We've never been good at keeping our mouth shut :D

So, to repeat what's in my info page on LJ. I've moved all my words and content and opinions to Insane Journal and I'm not coming back. I've loved LJ dearly for a very long time, but since 2006 that love has faded into annoyance and low grade resentment.

I still love all my friends there, and I wish they would all join me on the bright side (on IJ), if they haven't already.

If you're still present and posting on LJ, remember there's a small posting boycot coming up on Friday the 21st March. No posts and no comments for the entire date, in the hope (considering the owners' general attitude, probably a slim hope, but still...) it will make a difference and make LJ realise they need to please their users and be happy for the content they provide, not disregard and betray them.

And that was the last post I'll ever post on LJ, and hopefully only one of many posts I'll provide as content to Insane Journal.

Love, Imma

I has the flu. Let me show you it.

It's been ages since I've tried one of these. Poke me and I might ask back :D

( The answers to Elf, Kabal and Bastet - cut for your convenience :D )

I'm an extreme Sci-fi Geek, according to this test. And no, I'm not wearing my own home-made Tron costume right now <.<

	I received 92 credits on The Sci Fi Sounds Quiz How much of a Sci-Fi geek are you?
Take the Sci-Fi Movie Quiz canon s5 is

This is what happens when the mind is bogged down and only is capable of accessing totally pointless knowledge

And just to be Miss Spam-a-lot,

I notice a disturbing pattern in my posts <.<

That should change.

At least I can look forward to a week in England *bounce* I can't express how much I'm looking forward to that. Apart from the thought of driving a car over there... without crashing or driving in the wrong side *bites nails* :D It'll be sooooooo great.
