My nose is so smooth! ^,^;

I always forget that it's Hallowe'en (mainly because Finland doesn't really celebrate it as such), so I got a freakin' heart attack when I logged in to the blackness of Main street o.O

I had another heart attack yesterday: we were watching a film when I heard a knock on the door. It was dark outside so I looked from the bedroom window before going to open. And omg, it was trick-or-treaters! My first trick-or-treaters ever! I was so baffled and confused that I barely said anything to them, and my roommate gave them the sweets we had left from somewhere (which looks odd I must admit, but we're new to this!) and we were worried that others would come too since we didn't have any more of anything sweet left, and damn what an odd situation to be in. Damn. XD

T.T

Wewt, the student calendar we get from university didn't mention that today clocks go back. Is that some twisted way of making student turn up in time on monday, or are they really such tossers that they didn't include the end of BST in the diary?
*slappage*

The past 5 featured arts have all been nominated by [Lothuriel]... *suspects a conspiracy*
:P
And if you are reading this Loth, feel free to make a feature for the Elfwood selections, too. :P

You know when you have MSN messenger running and you get an email, it kind of makes a little note "you've got mail from suchandsuch"..? You gotta love that. But today was the best ever. I got an email from Opus Dei. o.O
Apparently, I subscribe to the Opus Dei newsletter. I wasn't aware of this. Now I worry I've been subject to a "lets sign iippo up for stuff" -prank. >_>

And as revenge, I naturlich added all of my email contacts to the list as well, so expect to get mail from them soon :P

Other people who send me mail include Paul McCartney and horNy.houSe.WifE. >_>

Right, so I'm doing this art thing for uni:
-I'll do it in Flash, so there'll be some interaction. It'll be one image of a machine that is made up of smaller components. Each of those components is a button, and has an abstract idea attached to it (love, sorrow, faith etc...) The user/viewer selects any two buttons, and a sound will play, which will be somehow related to the combinations of the two abstracts (example: love + self = narcism, sound that plays is the story of Narcissus read out loud by someone). And I want all/most of the sounds to be things read out loud by people.
So if you could, you have the chance to be ever so helpful by either:
-hinting me to texts that could be nifty sound files: passages from books, poetry, song lyrics etc... Must be in English.
-reading a text out loud for me onto a sound file (I will ask some individual people to do this, but if you love me you'll volunteer... :P)

[Skydancer]'s Firefox addment that allows him to use animated gif smileys is pretty cool. ^^

I just ate the world's best bisquit.
It was the first of the pack, from a packet of Morrisons Coconut Rings.

My eye feels so much better now, I'm again amazed at how fast antibiotics work.

Also, I found my dream place:
http://www.britishengineerium.com/
(check out the function room - that's where I'll invite you all to attend my wedding, whether it be me getting married to a man or to [ally]'s nose, but I'm having the wedding there).
I admit that the notice about closing-not-closing makes me go through a number of emotions: "relief: phew, they aren't closing", "shock: what, they were about to sell that stuff", "disappointment: omg, I could have bought awesome stuff", "jealousy: I want to be rich and buy awesome stuff".

I'm sick, now also in the other meaning of the word; that is, I'm not feeling well. My cold is not going away and I have an infection in my eye - I've seen the doctor so the latter should be getting better soon with antibiotic ointment. But since it is in my eye, it means that I am partly incapasitated by it. The ointment gives me blurry vision and generally the sore makes me want to keep my eye closed, which makes using the internet a little difficult. So if there's something you really want to make me aware of, or need to ask something, be awares that I'm not online much, but I do check messages (this, on the other hand, is not an invitation to send me 'get well soon' -messages, because too many messages will make me not want to check them either :P)
Just a general heads up if I seem absent, but don't count on that - if you really want to be rid of me, you'll have to leave ET :P

I love my friends so much. Yes, you guys too, online friends as well as real life ones. You're all precious (even if not numerous). ^^

And I love WritersCo again. Must be the affect of November approaching (=Nanowrimo-time, although I won't participate in it this year). So much writey inspiration around. :)

Am I the only patrollery person who finds it morally difficult to first have a discussion with someone in the wiki (a nice discussion) and then paying their house a visit and finding something report-worthy? I hate reporting people I talked to... >_>

<diary:859415>

And now you'll actually be able to see what was giggles, now that I've stopped being a reftard and managed to link it correctly.
