We have snow, and I am damn cold even with a woollen jacket on. These two are not necessarily related. I think I need hot chocolate.

I just played go with a nine-year-old. Heehee.

Happy birthday to Mir! And Punk!

There has been a shooting incident at a school again.
This time, though, it's in Finland.
Apparently there are three dead and possibly more people injured. The shooter is an 18-year-old guy.

This is one of the things you'd never hope to hear from the radio.

edit: The guy is a total nutcase. Egotistical, deluded little shit. I was ready to believe he was merely confused. But no. He planned the thing. Fucking bloody hell. Just see for yourself: http://koti.phnet.fi/pres/a/jokela

_{And, you know, I don't think I'll be able to read Boys don't cry. without getting sad ever again.}

More lyriiiiics.

Icarus Rising

We used to say
humans will have wings
with which to soar one day
laughing, defiant, in the face of
the nonbelieving and everyone else
holding hands with secret smiles

I see you take flight
and think: you're like Icarus,
rising high
where none can reach you
and behind my laugh I pray
you'll never stop flying

All those childhood dreams,
remember, you and me and
the endless skies
you took them in your hands
and made the impossible
a picture perfect reality

I see you take flight now
and think: you're like Icarus,
rising high
where none can reach you
and behind my tears I pray
you'll never stop and fall

Look what [Triola] made for me! :DDDD

Finally I wrote a set of lyrics! It's only been like, ehm, at least half a year. It's for the novel, of course.

Eternity tree

Reaching out for the horizon
it rises from stony ground
knotty branches majestic
even when covered only by the wind
so solitary, out there
standing on the edge of the world

Did you ever experience
that bitter loneliness
of a cold night
enveloped in the dark
waiting for someone
staring out in the wilderness

Such an all-embracing light
still cannot reach far enough
the daystar weak against shadows
gathered around its roots
Only the moon, with its soft silvery whispers
has touched the gnarly trunk

Did you ever experience
that sharp, bitter loneliness
of a cold night
enveloped in the dark
waiting for someone, anyone
staring out in the wilderness

When everything that is
has fallen
it will still stand guard
the eternity tree
watching over all

During this waking cycle:
· went for a morning jog (le gasp!)
· emptied dishwasher
· took out the trash
· REACHED 5-BLOODY-K

Will have to try and update DP, too, on the days to come. And read for the development studies exam in December.

For a moment, before I had to buy a new, better shield in place of the one I sold, my character had 4242 GP. Sigh.

3004 words, kthxbye. Personal goal for this cycle achieved an hour and a half ago. I don't really know what I'm still doing awake _{(catching up on General Debate postings, apparently)} so I'll be going to bed right about now. Byez.

Yesterday:
· planned the novel some more
· continued with first stages of bookbinding
· did some crewy stuff

Today:
· wrote wrote wrote and am now over a thousand words over the recommended quota

Gahgahgah. Done with prologue, 1486 words. Trin, you know where to find it. :P For anyone else interested: my NaNoWriMo project of this year is a Harry/Draco band AU fanfiction, and I'll be posting it on LJ bit by bit as I advance. Link will be shared only after the whole thing is finished.
Yesterday's accomplishment list will be posted at the same time with today's.

Now I go bed. Zzzzzz.


P.S. Stardust was le awesome. They totally raped the ending, though.

I have made a butt ugly stylesheet because I was growing tired of the old one - not sure if I want to use this though xD
You can test it by changing your stylesheet to '_lami2.css'

If you haven't cast your vote in the Tree Contest Voting yet, please do so A.S.A.P. :3

Chocolate frosting = fail. *cries*
Oh well, at least I tried, and I think the actual cake turned out pretty well. I won't know before we try it of course, but I'm hopeful. Because the batter certainly was yummeh.

Read it. Spend a moment simply thinking. Then, post a crane in your ET diary, your LJ, anywhere.

I know I will.
