Made my first two rings ever :D
Was inspired upon leafing through a jewellery instruction book in a bookstore, memorised the method, hit the craft shop... and here you see what I accomplished.
Gold plated wire (0.8mm), glass beads, plastic beads.
In the pictures I'm fitting them on my left ring finger, the brown one being a bit loose. Anyone wanna buy the blue one? (The brown one I'm keeping as an example of what's good and what's not) :P
I think I really should clean up more often. Nothing quite hits the point home like spending roughly an hour of one's life cleaning the wheels of one's chair, tugging out years' worth of fallen hair along with a whole lot of small dust clouds. With nose pliers.
Yup. Lesson learned. I should hope.
Went to attempt blood donation. Attempt being the operative word here, as my hemoglobine level was just an itty bit too low - automatically three months more to the next try. Kthxbye, gotta remember to pop those iron pills more often.
Well, at least I know my blood type now. B+ apparently. I would have liked to be O - much more useful - but s'okay. I finally get to mark it down on my tissue donor card thingy, which I've only had for, oh, over four years now...
It's weird how your blood type is never marked down on any medical records that you get to keep for yourself. And even if we did do a self-test back in ninth grade biology, it was of no use to me. Bah at poor blood circulation.
You know that annoyance of recalling a really good book you want to read again, but not its title or author? Well, I'm currently having that, except with a fanfic. I can't remember its title, its author, or where I found it - so I can't backtrack my steps either. I only remember the pairing and generally what the fic was about. For this, I need stronger Google Fu than my own. Bah.
Oh well, maybe I'll just wait for it to pop up somewhere. I'm fairly certain it was on FF.net... maybe.
edit: Nevermind, I found it by googling after all xD
It's probably going to be an eternal dilemma for me, whether to love Jukka - or loathe him from the bottom of my heart. He's so fucking infuriating sometimes that it makes me want to beat him up and rip him to pieces. Never mind that he's now an ex, he's still a close friend and gods do I hate him every now and then. And get reminded of why exactly he is an ex...
I've really let myself into a crappy shape. Rode back home the meager two or three kilometres from the anime evening, and my breathing squeaked.
Well. That's what you get for neglecting medication. Again. Gods, when will I learn? xD

I think I might need to work on self-restraint some more. I like to think I made an honourable effort in Dutchieland, but... Yeah. Today, when I was (theoretically) supposed to be getting supplies for [Iuna]'s Portfolio Contest prize, I ended up buying a collection of jewellery instruction cards instead. Sigh.
Oh well, Friday is payday. Until then, I can just do some planning.
While I try to gather motivation to actually start jogging and stuff, I've found a foolproof form of exercise.
Dancing at 2 a.m. to anime music in your dark bedroom with nothing but panties and maybe a morning robe on is good fun, and I do believe also beneficial. Aside from the fact that it is, eh, rather late. But nothing stops me from doing it in the morning, either. :P
Wheeeeeeeeee.
Been totally negligent towards ET - and teh internets in general - for a couple of days now. Reason being that I'm on an anime binge. This will probably continue for a while, but I'll try to be around. Especially since I promised to get the judging of a contest done by the end of this week, and there's my 10 Days participant wiki to fill. Sowwy to everyone who may or may not be inconvenienced in any way, or, heaven forbid, miss me. <_<
I found lyrics :O
They are very angsty and teeny, but what more is to be expected from a socially retarded, depressed 17-year-old hopelessly in love? xD
I really don't know what's with the repetition of the same line at the end of every verse...
1.
As I sit here
in my messy room
I wonder what would happen
if I told you
that I truly love you
In a way have loved
ever since we met
This is all I know and I will say it
I love you
Chorus:
Would you be shocked?
No, I don't think so
somehow I think
you already know
although in my confession
I didn't say it all
2.
I fear the future
what it holds in for me
will you be my friend
or will you be my foe?
'Cause you never know
what will happen
in this game called life
Yhis is all I know and I will say it
I love you
Chorus
3.
These feelings of mine
I cannot hold secret
it's just too painful
and maybe you'll hate me
but my heart is full
Please understand
I don't mean any harm
This is all I know and I will say it
I love you
Chorus
And I just want you to know
that all I really want
is to be close to you
and see that you're okay
Blame Trues for this, he resurrected it xP

Here's an idea, and I'll blame it entirely on [Teufelsweib]...
My NaNoWriMo project for this year will be a children's book. :P
In a moderately rare silly mood. Allison, who has a habit of getting me to do stupid stuff, challenged me to write silly poems. And so I shall. xP And it will be extremely juvenile. Oh dear me.
Once there was a gentleman
of quite the tiny size
called by his neighbours
the charming Mr. Ant
one who with his six legs
helped all the ladies carry their bags
(and quite the ladies' man he was, it was said)
and was very much liked all around
-- until one day, venturing outside the nest
he climbed the wrong kind of tree
indeed, Mr. Ant, to his great indignation
ended up inside a farmer boy's pants!
*hides in shame* xDDDD
Have got to be tired to cry over what is most probably nothing. I guess smilies do make a huge difference online.
Meh. I need sleep.
