Yeah, it only took me one week to update this time! All right, I'm gettin' better!

And what better time to update than when I'm at my busiest? 8D Whyyy do I do these things..

Anywho, I don't find myself posting a lot anymore 'cause, well, nothing really happens in my life. I've been eating mostly healthier for the past few weeks, but I like to treat myself to a little something on Saturdays. So yup, hopefully I won't balloon into whale-sized categories any day soon. xD And besides that, all I do is swim, do homework, watch comedians on YouTube, and read. A lot. I read an entire trilogy in three and a half days, type of lots of reading. Whoa, nerd ahoy!

Hmm, let's see then. What else could I say? c_c Well, there's only 7 weeks of classes for me left, then two weeks of exams. And then it's all over, baby! Until university in the fall, that is, but still! That leaves me almost four months of freedom back home in Canada!

Not that I don't love Europe, because I do, but I just haven't been able to click with Luxembourg. I'm really missing good ol' Deutschland, even Belgium. And, of course, Canada. I really miss the people back home in Canada. But I'll be going there for university, at least for the first year. Then I'm lookin' at going for a year on an exchange program. Yeah, that's right Sydney, Australia! I'm comin' for you in 2009! You better believe it! It's either that or Scotland, but the warmth of Australia is rating a bit higher on my scales right now. Not to mention who lives there. *Raises eyebrows at Hanna* Mwahaha.

Weeeell...yep, that's about all I have to say for now, and-SHIT. My parents are home and I have done no homework. 8| I'm dead. 

 Bye bye~

Harhar, what was I saying about updating more often uh, two weeks ago? I'm not so good with the whole keeping a promise thing, which isn't hard to tell. xD But I have a good reason, really! Well, more exhaustian than anything. Lately, I've been so bogged down with school, swimming, giving up chocolate for Lent (why, God, whyyy did I do that to myself), and just trying to get by without dieing of boredom, I just can't seem to sit at the computer. I sit down, and I'm logged on MSN, but then I just go, ugh, and kind of wander away to do something else, most likely homework or reading.

So yup. Pretty much me being lazy again. Will I try to update again this weekend? You bet. Will it happen? Lord knows, I have a pile of History homework so high I get tears in my eyes just looking at it. D:

Here's hoping I'm a teensy bit more active in the future. Hurrah!

Hurrah! Told you I'd update this thing this weekend. Although I have a million other things I should be doing, I've deicded I deserve the laziness for now. X3

Well, jeez, when was the last time I really updated this thing? Before Christmas, I guess. Well, not much happened since then. The only reason I haven't updated is a mixture of a lot of schoolwork, being tired, being lazy, and good old procrastination.

Christmas went down pretty well, and my sisters are back safe in Canada. Dad's home to stay for at least five months, and there weren't too many huge blow-up fight-a-thons over the holidays. I applied to universities a few weeks ago, hopefully I can get into the University of British Columbia. I'm still thinking that after a year I might try to transfer somewhere new, like Scotland or Australia, just for something to do. XD

I finished two major projects for school this week, but now I have a new one to start, and so the cycle of working my ass off at school starts all over again. Good thing I only have classes until April 19th! But then I'm terrified about exams in May, because the scheduling makes no sense to me and fbgskjdf. But I'll survive, somehow! History is what I'm really worried about. There's just so much boring material to go over. c_c;

Ahh, let's see..other than that, I've been swimming on the swim team here Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays afterschool. That coupled with homework usually has me nowhere near the computer most school nights. And I have band early in the mornings, so no late nights for me during the week. Which is mostly why I haven't been around much, but I don't do much over the weekends. I mostly just recharge my batteries. XD Hopefully I can force myself to update more often than every eight weeks or so. I'll try to bump it up to once a week, and I promise to try to say something interesting.

Speaking of interesting! I read the first three of the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, and I'm a total fangirl. And she's coming to Germany! Close enough for Blythe and I to go fangirl crazy and hop on a train to see her in March. Woo! The only bad part is that we were planning to go to Köln to see her, which would be the closest for us as well as the most familiar area, but the tickets to see her sold out less than a week after they started selling them. So now we have to go to some..other place she'll be at, but it's a little further away. But no bother! I'd go all the way to Berlin to see her. XD

Aaaand not much else has been happening. I've been reading quite a bit, including Patricia Briggs' new Mercy Thompson novel, Iron Kissed. I'm telling you, that book series needs more fans. A coyote mechanic girl, a sexy alpha werewolf, and vampires driving Scooby-Doo vans. What's not to love? Go out and buy Moon Called right now, it's the first book. DO IT. :B

Oh, back to the other books I've read since after Christmas..here's a list, and my thoughts briefly on each one:




And to wrap things up, I just got a phone call from my mother in Germany. My momma can be awful silly.

"I found you a boyfriend, Hollie!"
"Oh, yeah? *Eye roll*"
"Yeah! He's from Scotland, and his name is Graham! He's such a nice boy, so I gave him your MSN e-mail. :)"
"Great.." 
At this point, I can just imagine the awkward MSN conversation that will ensue once he adds me. Fun times! XD


I'll be baaaack~ Bye for now! 

SKIDDLY DOO.

WHOA, IT'S BEEN TOO LONG. :C

Argh, I feel like a total dick for not updating my journal in so long. But for the last while I've been doing nothing but swimming, going to band practice, and doing homework. I am so drained, I just can't even stand to be on the computer most days. XD; But I promise! Promise! To update with shit that's been going on in my life sometime this weekend. Promise! Even if it kills me. But right now, it's Friday night and my brain is totally fried. I mean, Goddamn. So I'll be back. ♥

Also, after watching Dane Cook I seem to be swearing a lot more. Oh Dane, you're a silly bitch. 8)

Random, Almost Winter Break!

  • Dec. 13th, 2007 at 9:31 PM
Well, I haven't had much of a chance to update lately, what with all the pre-Winter Break work being piled on at school. D: So here's a quick update, just until next week when I'll finally be finished school~ :3

Sooo, my birthday was on Tuesday. 18, baby. Let's porn! 8D It's good to be legal. My Mom and I went out to dinner with the Whittingham family, and we had a feast of Indian proportions. Mmm, yummers. I got a giant sheep teddy from the Whittinghams, a tea mug from Raylean (a random friend of Mom who came along XD) and a popcorn popper from Mom. Awesooome.

And my two older sisters came in from Canada today~ No fights yet, just happy times until they get settled. I'm enjoying the laughter. XD It's so loud in the house now! And next week my dad comes home from Kandahar, and the family will be together for the first time in two years. :3

Other than that I'll just be working on homework and projects. x_x Yup. Once I'm done everything, I'll just make a post going "WOOOOO" for an extended period of time. xDD

Until then!  ♥

O:

  • Nov. 28th, 2007 at 1:57 PM
 ..Dude, I could KICK SOMEONE IN THE FACE RIGHT NOW. Not because I'm angry, but because I'm SO DAMN HAPPY THAT I FINALLY FINISHED SOME THINGS FOR SCHOOL. XD I'm currently at school right now, and I just finished all of my homework along with finally finishing the rough copy of my last project due before Winter Break.

*Kicks the air* YES. YES. YEEEES. I've been working on projects since school started, and even if it's not completely finished yet, IT ALMOST IS. I feel like dancing, but that kick already got me quite a few stares from the students here. :x

JUST IN CASE YOU WANTED TO HEAR GOOD NEWS. THIS IS GOOD NEWS. This means more updates, and more of me annoying my friends to get LJ so I won't be such a loser on here. xD;

:3 Oh, the hell with it. I'm gonna dance out of the library after posting this. I deserve it. I'll be finished everything before Christmas Break!


P.S - Better update tonight, or tomorrow. I have a band concert tonight. Cool kid, away!

~Dear You~ ? Anyone? XD;


And here's the meme Hanna tagged me with~




Well, in other news! The other day we had Julie Bertagna come to our school and give a presentation. She wrote a lot of novels, including a series of books called Exodus and Zenith, which I LOVED. So I was really excited to see her. And I wasn't dissapointed! I got to talk to her privately afterward, and she's such a nice woman. @.@ She answered all my questions about being a writer and having things published, and asked me questions about my writing when I told her I would really love to have a novel published one day. She was very supportive of my ideas, and she told me it sounded like I had some really good thoughts I could write down! And then she signed my books and wrote in a little personal message in each. Eee. >w< It's inspired me to try my best at writing again, which means actually writing what I have in my head. Woop!

Ehh..not much else has happened. I started knitting a scarf. It's perdy. XD The end!

Luurve, until next time~

Meme Stole'd From Hanna 8D

  • Nov. 16th, 2007 at 11:51 PM

Yup, had to steal this meme 'cause Hanna did it so cute. >w< Except I just had to host it on another site. So here's the link, I hope it works. :D


http://www.filefactory.com/file/b27fd6/


Voice posts are fun, right? You get to hear funny accents if your friends are from far, far away. All we really want is to hear your voice, we don't care what you're saying. So here's a list of typical meme questions that would otherwise be boring, but when communicated aloud - well, it's entertaining. Answer these questions in your post, and encourage others with voice-posting abilities to do the same.

1) What's your name?
2) How old are you?
3) Where are you from? Are you living there right now?
4) Is it cold where you are?
5) What's the time?
6) What are you wearing?
7) What was the last thing you listened to?
8) What was the last thing you ate?
9) What was the last thing you watched on tv?
10) What's your favorite tv show? Why?
11) Quick! Find a book, or something with text on it! Flip to a random page and read some of it! GO!
12) What was the last movie you saw? How was it?
13) Do YOU think you have an accent? Talk about that.


I just realised I mumbled parts of my German story. XD I was like, "Er sieht fnjkdf.." I should..work on that.


Hey San, you do it to! Find a way to get your voice recorded. ;;

ASDRaoibjksdglfn GOD I'M LAZY. Sorry for not updating this sometime this week, after I got back from Spain, but..I dunno, I've been pretty much doing nothing all week. ;-; But today I've dedicated to cleaning the house and getting my personal life back on track. So I'm starting with LiveJournal, 'cause I've missed posting in it~

Well, like I said, I was in Spain for my October Break. I got back last Sunday, but I haven't been doing much since then. So lemme tell you 'bout Spain, and we'll take it from there!

Spain was awesome. Mom and I went along with this family we've become friends with; I really only like the mother and their daughter, Blythe. She's much fun! But more about her later. The weather in Spain was perfect, because it wasn't too hot but I could walk around all day with just a t-shirt on. The first few days we walked all around the town, shopped, and went to the beach across the street from our hotel. Here's just some general pictures of the trip, and some beach pictures.



We went to Gibratar one day while we were there, which is like a British colony. It's just a big..rock. With a lot of people on it. But it was really fun, 'cause we got to go up the mountain and see the wild monkies! And afterward we went on a dolphin watching tour. And we could see Africa across the water. It was really neat, and I just has to scream, "HEY AFRICA!" when I saw it. XD



And then one day, which I think was my favourite, we went to a crocodile park and saw..a lot of crocs. Including Big Daddy, the biggest crocodile in Europe! Yeaaah, Blythe and I..made a lot of jokes about Big Daddy. I scared a few of my guy friends about how "huge" Big Daddy was. XD; And I got to hold a baby croc, which was one of the best moments of my life. ;-; It was so cute.


All in all, it was a really fun trip. The only part I didn't like was the little boy named Tate. He's extremely annoying and babyish. I wanted to strangle him by the end of the week! XD;;



And then there's the week that just passed, and when I think about it, a lot has happened. Well, first Blythe let me borrow the first two books of the Mercedes Thompson series. The first is called Moon Called and the second is Blood Bound. And..oh good Lord..I'm addicted. I've become a raving fangirl about these books, and the worst part is that Blythe and I are the only people we know who have read these books. I read them both in less than three days, and I've already pre-ordered the third that's coming in January. If you like books that have sexy werewolves, vampires, and walkers (someone who can turn into a coyote at will), along with a love triangle, then you will love these books. And here I go on a rant about it. XD I'll cut it, 'cause most people might find it a little boring. But you wouldn't if you read the books!




Ahh, Blythe is a cool girl. My first real friend in Luxembourg, and we both moved from the same place before~ We both rant about the Mercy Thompson books, how Mercy should be with Adam, and how we want to be werewolves and make our own pack. 'Cause we're so cool. XD I'd be the alpha, and Blythe would be my second! Come and join our pack. Joooin us~


Aaand not much happened today. I got lost in the woods for about an hour when the sun was setting and I was walking the dogs, but luckiy I kept myself calm. So no damage done there, only a few cuts and scrapes on my legs. That's what I get for wearing short-pants in the woods when I'm hell-bent on finding my way out of there. XD So, I'll update more often, so it won't be..such a huuuge post next time. o_o Wow. Yep. I've missed you, LJ!

I'll be baaack.

Oct. 29th, 2007

  • 10:59 PM
It's been a while! :B Just a little note to let you know that all's well, and...I'm in Spain right now. XD Yeah! It's October Break, so Mom and I decided to go to Costa del Sol. Beaaaauuutiful. Will upload pictures later~

Aaaand..that's all. Exhausted. *Dies*

Oct. 10th, 2007

  • 8:50 PM
 Dude, I am getting shit DONE this week. Yeah! This is just a "Done" and "To-Do" list to keep my shit together, you can just pass this and read onto the next part. ¦3




Ohhh, I have an idea. If anyone likes getting letters in the mail and don't mind giving out your address, you could e-mail me and we could be penpals~ It's much fun, I've done it with a few of my online friends now. 8D I can give my address, too, but I'd rather not post it up on LiveJournal..too many creepers, and I'm too lazy to make things Friend's Only.

So now I'm..trying to figure out what I should..do with myself? I guess. X3; I thought I had more to say, but not really. I've started ranting on MS Word about how my crush is driving me nuts. It helps. XD So until I find something interesting to say, I'll be lurking!

I'm always too laaazy to write anything worthwhile. Here's a meme I stole from Hanna. 8)





Now, bed. *Crawls to her fluffy bed*

  • 9:46 PM
I'm baaack~ but am not bringing sexy. So sorry.

I had a really good time in Germany~ I showed up at Kristi's Friday night, and Alexia, Shaylene, Marit, Lydia, and of course Kristi were all there. We all played with a Wii for the first time! Too much fun, really. Kristi's lil' brother Brandon was playing Pokémon on it later, and everyone was saying I was way to into it. XD;

I'll upload pictures later, but I'm too lazy right now and I should get some homework done.

Oh yeah, and PAPA'S COMING HOME FOR A WEEK TOMORROW. AND IT'S THANKSGIVING AND I GET TO MISS SCHOOL TO EAT WITH HIM AND MOM. DFOIBHSEIUGBFDGK. He's been in Kandahar since mid-July, but I haven't seen him since June. ;-; I'm so happy and excited..


P.S - Vielen Dank für die guten Wünsche, Hanna! Ich hatte vielen Spaß, und ich hatte du vermisst sooo. X3 


Edit~ I did this and it was..interesting? XD Go Greek.

Your Score: Dionysus

0% Extroversion, 46% Intuition, 100% Emotiveness, 76% Perceptiveness

Although deeply emotional, you are extremely lacking in self-knowledge. You are somewhat needy, and when bored, may become very hedonistic. Your life is a quest for meaning, above all else. You are most like Dionysus. You are primarily interested in serving others, but your efforts are almost always unappreciated. You aren't confrontational, you're often out of tune with your own needs and unaware of the consequences of your own actions.

You are, at heart, a good person. You are very affectionate, and you are very loyal to your friends and family. You are very reluctant to burden others with your own problems, to the point that this in itself can become a problem for the people who care about you. This is a particular of a more general problem. Dionysus sends wave of ruin throughout his personal life. He is the photographer who seduces his subjects. He is the teacher who seduces a student. He is the art student who paints nonrepresentational splashes of color, he is the poet who rejects meter and content. You seek sexual partners more than anything else (this is to exploit the nurturing side of others to help fill your own void). If not sexual partners, this desire to become the object of sympathy with other people can manifest itself in other destructive ways. Stinkfist by Tool explains your condition pretty well. It's very likely that you haven't had many experienced mentors. You don't want them either, because you're the sort of person who rejects criticism and boundaries, but they're also your only hope for reaching any kind of emotional maturity.

Famous People Like You: John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Marilyn Monroe, Hugh Hefner
I'd tell you to stay clear of Hermes, Icarus and Apollo, but you could probably learn something from them. You're least likely to hurt The Oracle, Atlas, Prometheus, and Daedalus, but Atlas and Daedalus won't like you very much.
Seek out: The Oracle, Prometheus

I just feeling like writing. So I'ma go on a typing spree of nothing of particular importance. So once again I'll cut it up into pieces so you can just skip whatever's boring and read the juicy bits, if you like~

*Twirls* Cuaaan aaaalto el arbol sera? Si lo cortas hoy, nunca seeee sabraaaaaaa!





Yup, I'm done for tonight. I need to get up early..and feed the adorable horse, pony, and mule next door~ *Wiggles off*

 Yay, I made a new friend today. Welcome, [info]ladylightning! You seem like a pretty cool girl, hope we can get to know each other more~ 8D

Anyway, I can't believe I forgot to put up these links for videos in my last post! They're not on Youtube, but I reccomend Derrick Comedy in general. All of their videos are hilarious, I especially like 'Jerry'. You might, too..if you don't mind crazy toilet humour, yeah! XD

I'ma go now, have fun doin'..stuff. Whatever it is you people do to get your jollies..D:

Big Bunch 'a Stuff 83

  • Sep. 24th, 2007 at 10:10 PM
Well, I've decided just to do a big update with a whole bunch of stuff to keep people occupied (invite your friends to be my friends! I..need more LJ friends XD).  Since It'll be a bit of a long entry, I've cut it up into convient little parts, so you only have to look at what you want. Aren't I nice? Aww.







  
And that's generally it. I've also started drawing again, and I'm trying to get back into writing very badly. I'll post up any decent drawings I finish, and I'm trying to write that Yami Malik/Haruhi drabble for Hanna. Ahhh! XD

Talk to yous guys later!

Sep. 20th, 2007

  • 2:19 PM
 Hey hey! 

I'm in school so this post must be very hush-hush. The librarian might maim me. D:

So, I've decided just to put in a lil' update right now 'cause I am very bored, have no classes all afternoon, and am waiting for school to end so I can go to fitness swimming. :B Apparently there's a movie night at school tonight playing something like "Knocked Up" or "Disturbia". I'm still contemplating on whether or not I want to go. Hmmm. I heard there's free popcorn, so that makes me want to go a lil' more. I guess it all depends how tired I am after swimming, 'cause I'm already HALF DEAD. I don't even know why. OH NO.

Other than thaaat...here's a meme! 8D Yup, I'm actually gonna do this, considering that I only have two people on my friend's list at the moment, so..I won't be getting too many replies to write about. HUR.

Drabble Meme

Pick two numbers, and in return I will reply with a drabble with those two characters, in return, you must do this on your own journal. Do not look under the cut at a sneak peak of those characters.


There's only ten choices, so just pick 1-10. ♥



P.S - HEY AFRICA! Are the lions real scary?
