Life is Short

Bleh its that time again isnt it? It´s New Years Eve. (Yeh all of you who´ve been "wishing me happy new years at the strike of "12"... HULLLOOOO... ITS NOT THE SAME HERE, FOOL! ahem. lets continue.) So. Lets make this New Years the groviest, funkiest, most memorable New Years YET!! (and dont worry, if you botch it there´s always next year *wink*). So drink up, wear stupid hats, let off fire crackers, kiss someone (ANYONE) at the strike of 12 (uhhu... right...), swallow 12 grapes on the 12 seconds before the New Years (and try not to choke and die - and if you do dont blame me, I dont want my ass stalked for the next year), and DRINK MOJITOS!! (cuz i wont be able to [cry for me]. The stupid danes dont have mint ANYWHERE!! Believe me, I´ve looked.) Oh and send me unique shot glasses. And lots of cool stuff generally. And come see me after new years. We´ll have loads of food.

Do you like cookies? :D I like cookies... Tho eating cookies at Subway could tend to be slightly embarrassing... I have noooo idea why we did it. Wraf trying to steal our cookies from us... tsk tsk. (Jen, please tell me you get this...)

I got new shoes so i thought Id share the love with everyone... (as you can see I had nothing better to do on a Sunday morning... sigh... such is life. Theres only so much time you can spend on eatting pickled herring before it just gets to be too much)
The boots.
The webcam shot (always has to be one of those... :P)
The smaller but oh so shekshy... proves that size doesnt matter... (where shoes are involved...:D)
Yuh.. trying to look all professional and photographer like (my uncles rantings have really gotten to my head "wow melissa, you look so natural. Wow. Look how you hold that camera. Papperatzi!!!) (how much you bet i spelt that wrong? lol)

Happy birthday Esty... hope you have a good one with loads of super duper awesome stuff and all that. Amazing I just found this video today... i thought that it would be a lot harder to find... BUT.. HERE IT IS!!!
lets do the MOJITO!!

Mishu... this is for you :P

Ozie... I know u´re gona hate me forever for this... but it IS your birthday, so i HAVE to post this, for old times sake. it´s too good, it gave me shivers. The best thing is that most people wont even be able to figure out why the hell im posting The Phantom of the Opera. So... "Sing, my angel of loveeeeee!!" hahaha... it´s me they fear. (shant forgive you... shant)
OHH YEH - 

all i have to say is... ANOTHER YEAR IS PAST!! Wow. I remember last year, the first time i ever saw this song, i was sitting on that big white couch with that colorful thing over it, bundled up against the cold in the non-heated house, laughing my sorry ass off. We proceeded to watch it over and over again till we´d memorized it. (remember, tim... REMEMBER??? lol. those were the days) so without further ado... The 12 Days of Christmas... BOLLYWOOD STYLE!!

A "big" airy day, hot sun, crisp cold air, on the top of a forested hill in the middle of nowhere, where you have to wear down jackets in the shade and nothing in the sun. Into The West by Annie Lennox goes well with days like that - so peacefully sad, and happy at the same time. Sitting in the sun, just looking off into the trees and hearing the wind and feeling it cold on your face, seeming like its the only sound in the world. I could sit like that forever. I think that´s how I´d like to die.

Is it wierd to miss something you are just SOOOO happy is long over? Or even just things that are recently over that were part good, part not so good...? Things that, when you really think about it, were so terrible, nasty, or just downright awkward (on both sides)...?

Yayy!! I´ve got comitment issues!! 

Did this with my webcam. No makeup (except for the lip stuff and white eyeliner) and contrary to what some ppl think, there was no wind (duh, its inside)... it was "glued" into place... lol. long story. dont ask.

You really shouldnt smoke in bed. It´s not safe. You also shouldnt sneak about at midnight on squeeky floor boards searching for vodka, beer, orange juice or water when someone´s sleeping 4 meters away. You shouldnt find people that like to call themselves Edward Cullen if they value their life because someone (you) will get very pissed off because they´re (you´re) secretly obsessed with him and the whole cheesy, but absolutely brilliantly wonderful saga. 

You know what...? My life´s become very booring. This is the path my day takes:
1. Wake up... at whatever time (its getting earlier and earlier. think 6:00 am)
2. Try to go back to sleep for ages, fruitlessly.
3. Get up.. make tea, eat bread and cheese, and try to stretch it out as long as possible. (aka breakfast)
4. Sit at my puter or occasionally clean the house.
5. Sit at the puter for a bit longer.
6. More puter... in a different room this time (change of scenery never did the braincells any harm)
7. Get bored and ask if there´s any shopping to do, any rooms to clean, ANYTHING!!! Nothing.
8. Go back to puter, prolly with another piece of bread and cheese (note, this is lunch)
9. More puter
10. More puter
11. Ask dad whats for dinner and if I can cook (general answer, no - its already half done. GREAT.)
12. Get dragged by my step sister to play ANOTHER game of monopoly.
13. Stop the game half way through so we can go watch simpsons
14. Eat dinner, and finish monopoly game
15. Back to the puter.
16. Sleep.



WONDERFULLY full day no? I love it.
Not.

Now see a picture of me and my lovely step sister to make your heart and retinas glad.


Ooh ooh... calling for a job today. PRAY I GET IT!!

Well I suppose I shld make a post... I´ve been incredibly blogger-delinquint these last few days. Now for some serious eye candy... well in my opinion anyways. I´m going to get scans of these pix, and more, but I dont have them just yet, and these were just, gah, product of impatience. Heehee.





Yes... I know... I was the most adorable child. What to do? Incredible beauty runs in our blood.

Rowan Atkinson - the bomb

As you can see. I've got movies, and novels, even one in hard cover... but hey, theres internet... lets save those other things for the moments where there WONT be internet (and im sure there'll be many... plus, the connection is free... :D). So this means, you get the latest update on the last few hours. That includes webcam pix... yay!!


my brilliant 9-euro meal... starting to feel a bit worrisom...
But then, I' ve never ate such a wonderful tasting burger. It is fanbloodytastic I tell you...And yeah... vanity on my part. I got jealous thinking that pix of my food were going to dominate this post... but then, if you are what you eat, technically that burger and fries are my future self...

Oh yeah. I'm destined to become one with Burger King. thats what this all is. you can prolly see it on the soda cup ive got there in the last pic...

Right all for now. I'll stop spamming my own blog.
I've just really got nothing better to do...

The first update i wrote in my notebook, cuz i was too lethargic to actually pull out the computer.

12th November, 2008 - 3:25 am

It´s now exactly 3:19 am, the 12th of November 2008. In the next 48 hours (aprox.) I will pass through 5 different countries (Lebanon, Turkey, Spain, England, and Denmark). my first flight is scheduled to leave at 3:55 am. My last flight (arriving in Arhus, Denmark) is scheduled to arrive at 9:50 am, on the 13th of November. Course, that´s not where the journey ends. We´re looking at up to 7 hours, waiting in the tiny Aarhus airport before dad gets off work, that is, of course, unless his boss lets him off early. We can only hope... (3:25 am) God, when will the damn gate open??


12th November, 2008 - 8:15 am

I survived the trip from Beirut friggin tiny International airport (seriously, I dont know how they do it...). It was anything but uneventful... I tell you, it must have been my most interesting/anoying flight yet. First off, I found my seat. I seat myself rather cosily when some random greying man comes and tells me in the crispest english that, I'm sorry, but C26 is HIS seat. I, of course, am rather taken aback and am sure that he is mistaken, while at the same time whipping out my own boarding pass, flashing the very obvious "C26" in the "seats" section at him. He proceeds to do exactly the same to me, producing exactly the same offending number. A slightly awkward silence proceeds, for about 2 seconds, where the greying man makes an atempt at a joke (something along the lines of having to sit on eachother [yeeesh] and how it probably wont be very comfortable). I, understandably enough, hightailed it to the nearest stuardess and told her of our serious problem (I was in no way looking forward to missing the flight - I had far too many connections depending on that one). End of the story... The grey man and I did not have to sit on eachother. I got a seat a row back (yey), next to a window (double yey), next to a man (tripple yey...?) who insisted on talking (ohhh...), about his neice and how the name Sarah somehow meant princess in Danish. He received the usual speil from me (we're volunteers and we help people without pay) wich resulted in the customary worshipful awed silence and a "wow. You're such a GOOD PERSON." (I know, I know). The damned man just insisted on talking every time i was about to fall asleep. He DID give me 4 whole clorette chewing gums though, even though they turned out to be nasty arabic style tutifruti that emphasised the seriously sweet citric fruits (yuck yuck yuck - memories of a decade of christmasses stuffing ones gullet with chewy citrus flavored candy and, yes, clorette chewing gums...). finally got him to shut it though, for just long enough for me to catch a few winks of sleep. When we got to the airport he insisted on thinking I was his personal tour guide, asking me the way around the airport as if I had "security" stamped on my forehead. GB his soul. Finally got away from him, as he had a flight to Austria (yeah. We talked THAT much) and I had 6 hours to wait. Or some such shit. And I'm still waiting..
Oh yeah... something I (believe) esy and ozie will get a kick out of (or at least get very jealous over, unless im completely wrong and I have the wrong book) is that I purchaced myself a copy of Eclipse (much to my horror, I found it wasnt the 1st of the 4 books. It turned out to be the 3rd... damn damn damn!! after all my scrutinization!! I managed to miss the blatantly obvious listing of the books on the back...)
Now for a pensive picture of me and the book at the Attaturk Airport (at least, thats what I think its called. it's in istanbul, WHATEVER the name...)

Yeeeeaaahh... i finally got my rear off the couch and got to a cyber cafe on my OWN COMPUTER. We had the wedding and parrrtay last nite... it was smashing. But I dont have any time to upload pix cuz i just found out that ive got to be home in like half a hour for lazer tag... and ive got too much to do already. so then. I´m just going to post a few pix from happenings about with the family. You´ll have to wait till tomorrow for pix of the wedding. Vale? Be patient. They´re coming.
