The best part of waking up...is not creepy vampire dreams.

So, is there a secret to writing wedding vows?

Giving me things to read for my birthday is like offering vegans a leg of ham for Christmas.

I'm not sure how it happened, but I don't appear to be grounded anymore. My dad didn't exactly say anything about it, but he'd sent me on a few errands out of the shop and he never does that while I'm grounded. I tested it by visiting Adella. Not a peep. So, maybe I'm only assuming... but I think he actually believes I was telling the truth about what happened after the earthquake. Which I was! I just left out certain parts...

The parts I can't remember either. The missing days.


ooc: you can assume anyone can read this. friends locked really just means her npc!dad can't

Just to touch base, I'm fine. Some weird things happened after the earthquakes, but I'm unharmed. I'm also grounded for the rest of my life. But the joke's on him. I'm not planning on sticking around much longer.

This is insulting and historically inaccurate on so many levels I don't know where to start.

But it's also really, really cute.

I'm so sick of hearing about bath salts in the news. Especially the shitty reporters that think they're being cute.

How does that saying go? After a match is before a match. I know it's only been two days but I already miss it.

Two more weeks of work and then it's finally time to hop on a plane and fly home. Can't wait to see the little ones again. They grow up so fast. One second they want to ride on your shoulders, the next they're having boyfriends and girlfriends and are planning weddings.

Jon sent me the prints of your photo shoot because he didn't know your address. Let me know where to drop them off and you'll have them in the next couple of days.

Location: Black Cat Lounge @ Newport Beach
Date: Sunday, 01 July 2012, 11 am
Occasion: Euro 2012 finale (Spain vs Italy)

Bring yourself, your family and friends. The BCL has room for ~300 people. If you're not into football/soccer, feel free to take advantage of the strip of beach that belongs to the club.

Alla prossima!

P.S. The alien can come, too.

England may have a keeper now but they still can't win penalty shoot-outs.

Evviva! Semi-final against Germany!

Over sharing. A rampant problem? Cause for concern? Source of never ending entertainment?

I dare say my mother never prepared to live in a world like this.

You know that low whistle you make when you're at a loss for words? How would one type that? Wooo? Hooo?

I was up all night. There's lots of stuff out there, on the internet. You know? Stuff you don't even realize. Like this lovely little number I stumbled upon in a darkened corner of the valar network.


Guys. This might be the best thing I have ever seen. I don't know who's been working on it, or if it will ever go to print, but there is no reason to ever buy another calendar ever again.

(ooc: All in good fun! React away! You can treat the images here like photos that were professionally taken, personal photos that were swiped, photoshopped images... Anything you like! I would have made about 100 more, but there are only 12 months this year. So if you don't see a pup you would have liked to seen in this, I'm super sorry. We'll get them next time! Obviously, this wouldn't have worked as well if I hadn't kept it a secret. But you guys like surprises, right?)

When Martin Luther King Jr. said 'I have a dream', I don't think this is quite what he meant.

I want a goat.

Sweet baby Jesus in a hamper, some guy just tried to run me over on a moped.

I have a lot of feelings about this:

A: Who even drives a moped anymore?
B: I was holding my coffee and now it's on the street.
C: I almost got ran the fuck over.
D: Who even drives a moped anymore?

My pants are all ripped, my knees are all bloody and this sucks. Aren't there supposed to be white knights who swoop ladies out of the way when shit like this happens?

Well, my week has certainly been providential.

Although, we've had to get a little creative with the housing arrangements.

Five almost heart attacks later: 1 - 1 against Spain. It could be worse for our Azzurri I guess.

I need to lie down

There is nothing more exciting and exhilarating than wandering through a foreign city, exploring its streets and alleys in search of its hidden secrets and treasures. Not with a fancy technological gadget in your hand that will tell you where to go and what to see or that there is a Starbucks right around the corner.

Leave the familiar behind, all the weight that drags you down, and set your soul adrift.

Giovanna?

To answer some of your questions: Yes, I've been grounded. No computer, no phone. He did, however, forget about my old iTouch. (Never throw anything away!)

I can't stand this. I'm not a child. I never got the chance to be a child. He can't protect me from everything.

Sometimes I really feel like he could drive me crazy.

Look at this stuff?
Isn't it neat!

I thought I saw a mermaid in my pool around 4am. Turns out it's just my neighbour who's decided to take a nap there after the midnight bbq instead of going back to her place. Should tip the pool cleaning people. And cook them breakfast. Or something.

Hello everyone, I'm Elspeth and I've just moved here. Still trying to get on my feet and everything but I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Anyone have tips on how to cut down on smoking without actually stopping? I just need to save some money. I promise I'll get back up to a pack a day as soon as I can afford it.

Dear people handing out crazy leaflets and holding up signs saying 'Jesus is our saviour',

Just because I'm Roman-Catholic doesn't mean I know the Pope or that I'm deluded conservative or that I'm intimately familiar with the practices of the Spanish Inquisition. Which is a good thing because if I were, I'd be calling you heretics and start preparing an auto-da-fé in a public square.

Since Narcissa won't let me work in the bakery on Sunday (it's the sabbath, don't ask) I'm finishing up this huge order at the house in my kitchen. My kitchen is not big enough to make this go quickly, mind you, so it's basically taking all day. Someone remind me to thank God for that one. I'm missing out on family night.
