This journal is semi-friends only.

Basically the real stuff is locked but the everyday fluff is public. Comment if you would like to be added. I will probably add you back. I only say probably because sometimes you get a weird vibe from people, ya know?

Hi Everyone :)

I am antsy and fidgety and not sure what to do with myself at the moment.

I was telling Laura how I like to look at _feminissima_ for my "girly fix" but I haven't joined because I am too lazy to fill out their survey.

Here is a cute little quiz we saw in the community.



© What's your Inner Goddess Color?? © Jen
BLUE belongs to the Planet Venus,
the giver of Love, devotion and harmony.
Its stone is the Amethyst, the super-sacred of the seven jewels.
Pale blue in the aura represents devotion,
while dark blue shows fanaticism.

I'm slowly learning to read and write Russian, thanks to a gift from my friend, Gilana. When I say slowly, I mean slowly. Anyway, I was looking at this Russian actor's site because he was in Night Watch and Day Watch. Basically, I just think he's hot, so I wanted to check out some pictures.

I wasn't expecting to actually be able to understand any of the text at all. I happened to look in the corner and saw "Карта сайта". I looked at it for a few seconds and said, "site map". I double checked and I was RIGHT! Not only could I read and pronounce the words, but I remembered what they translated to in English.

YAY ME! I know it's only two words but I'm still pretty impressed with myself!


I sure am posting a lot today. Ah well.

I am watching Supernatural with Luke and it was on one of those tense scenes where you think something is about to HAPPEN. You know, you are just concentrating on the tv screen...waiting:







Boy Scout just sent you a nudge. (Which is a loud ringing alarm noise!)

Penny says:
YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE!
Penny says:
OMG
Boy Scout says:
:-D

Boy Scout says:
:-D :-D

Penny says:
YOU SUCK!
Penny says:
*cries*
Boy Scout says:
*giggles*




hmph.

Woman: Hey! Hey! I know who started the fight! You wanna know?!
Cop: Yeah, sure.
Woman: Actually, I don't know. Hahaha. I'm going home right now to watch porn, I don't even care! Haha.
Cop: Wow.

I am watching Princess on ABC Family and Nora Zehetner is who should have been cast as Alice in Twilight. She actually reminds me of Blaine.

Just thought I'd show you this: Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. It's a prequel. If you're a whack job like me, you've already read all of the books in the series and know that this will feature A LOT of Lucian. \o/

Dear morningstorms,
I don't really know how to tell you this, but our romance is over. I think I realized it when I saw the shrunken head as you ate enchiladas and I saw you sit on the crazy monk. I'm sure you're senile enough to understand that we're cousins. I'm returning your ring to you, but I'll keep your collection of butterflies as a memory. You should also know that I never liked the incarnation of an Eskimo.

Go burn,
-Penny-

( What in the HELL is your problem Penny? )

I'll probably post about the upcoming Twilight movie soon. I think I may be the last person on my friends list (the ones that are Twilight fans) to do so.

I wasn't a particularly HUGE fan of New Kids On the Block but I did like some of their songs. There was, however, one song of theirs that I actually LOVED. I found it on Youtube for your viewing pleasure.

What the French, toast!?

I should've known you'd be here with your little doodoo head cootie queen!

WHO are you callin' a cootie queen, you LINT licker!?

Dramatic student hipster: I'm just trying to get my life back together. You know when you're trying to get your life back together after one of those periods of being away for awhile without contact to the world, thinking about your direction and what you're doing.
Friend: Do you mean your family vacation?
Dramatic student hipster: Well, yeah.
Friend: It was three days.

Does anyone remember this?! I saw her in concert when I was about fifteen, I think, haha. She was touring with...GERARDO. *facepalm* You know....

I am having too much fun on youtube right now, lol.

Oh, lord, now I'm watching Back for Good by Take That.

I'm watching Sense and Sensibility on PBS right now and I got to thinking about the Austen men.

I know that most women favor Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice), and with good reason, but Col. Brandon (Sense and Sensibility) happens to be my favorite. He's just so...wonderful. He is a quiet hero with insane patience! Maybe it's because I identify with Marianne Dashwood more than the other Austen women.

Who is your favorite Austen man?

Which Austen women do you identify with (not your favorites - my favorites are Jane Bennet from Pride and Prejudice and Fanny Price from Mansfield Park) but who do you see yourself in?

I was in here in the computer room and my mother was in her bedroom watching television.

Mom's tv: "No! No! Apparently not."
Me: *gasps!* *rushes into mom's bedroom*
Mom: *shakes head* All you heard was "Apparently not"?
Me: Is that sad?
Mom: Yes, yes it is.

My mother was watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It was the scene where he goes to Ollivander's to get his wand.

Oh and I'm changing my layout theme, just one of the lj ones. Right now there's a cute little Japanese girl in a kimono in the header but it may be changed by the time you read this.

I love books and I love reading, there is no question about that. It's just that I have a tendency to either buy a bundle of them or receive a bundle of them all at once and I can never keep up. I also will start a book and get near the middle and then get distracted by another book. I end up finishing that book and either starting a new one or get distracted by the WoW or the internet in general and I never finish the book that was initially intended. My other problem is I purposely read slowly because I hate it when a book is over (unless it's just a really bad book). Which brings me to my current book guilt issue.

I started Neil Gaiman's American Gods and then happened to make another trip to the bookstore. I came home with these:

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle - I've only ever seen the movie and read excerpts from the book. I figured it was time to sit down with the real thing.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - Look, Rochester is simply misunderstood. *loves him*

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde - I've never read this book but have always wanted to, so *shrug*.

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy - This was my sole New Year's Resolution.

Now, War and Peace being, well, War and Peace, I had already planned on reading at least one other book along with it. It's not like I don't read multiple books at one time anyway. That also could be contributing to my book A.D.D. I guess I will finish American Gods as my first War and Peace partner. Hehe, that is what I will call them, War and Peace partners. I'll be honest, I'm a bit intimidated by this book. But I think that's mostly because people talk about how impossible it is to finish. *shrug* I love Russia and Russian history so I probably won't find it so difficult. However, it might take me a really long time to finish it the way I read!

Anyway, a friend of mine won't get off my back about American Gods so I promised him I'd finish it by Sunday.

-FIN

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 35th
wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.

Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table
saying,

'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving
to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'


Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband.

The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two tickets for the
Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.

The husband' thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very
romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I'm sorry
my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me.'

The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is
a wish.

So the fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! -
the husband became 92 years old.

The moral of this story:
Men who are ungrateful bastards should remember
fairies are female.
