What book I am
You're Watership Down!
by Richard Adams
Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.
Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
Simpson personality
You Are Marge Simpson |
You're a devoted family member who loves unconditionally. Sometimes, though, you dream about living a wild secret life! You will be remembered for: your good cooking and evading the police Your life philosophy: "You should listen to your heart, and not the voices in your head." |

January 18
Life sucks.
I had one meal today and way too much chocolate.
I didn't study. I did rummage through a book or two, scribbled on pages, even picked up course notes but I didn't learn anything.
I've wasted a day.
I still don't know weither I'm in love or not.
I had a brilliant idea for the project, unfortunately it happened while I was doing 5 minutes of worthwhile work so I didn't write it down and now I forgot what is was.
I've started my fourth thermos of tea. Or cup number nine.
I have drunk three sorts of tea so far today; Fennel, Caraïbes and Blueberry.
I felt like blogging because it's a great anti-anger therapy but I'm too passive today to have a rant so maybe I had better picked up some knitting. Too bad I don't have my needles and knitting wool here, I could have finished my venom green sweater with all the anger inside me.
As I type Tulsa has come on a visit, dropped off a present (The Body Shop muscle rub cream, which I actually already had bought for myself not two weeks ago) and is now sipping tea and eating pesto sandwiches (my pesto, my goat cheese, my bread, my idea). Time to get rid of her.

Happy?
You Are 24% Happy |
You're not miserable, but you could stand to be a lot happier. Focus on what's right in the world, and you'll be happier than you ever thought possible. |
I'm 24% happy but not miserable well I'm just thrilled to hear that. If I have to be sarcastic then why do I take the test you wonder. Aha. Interesting point you have there. Because I don't really know, I feel well enough but not overjoyed.
Yesterday, while at the cosy home of the cooking coach and her love/boyfriend/winged horse and in the context of me making them happy with home brewed Porto, brownies and the prospect of knitting lessons, tea swap parties and more chocolate dessert, she asked me how they could possibly make me happy. I didn't answer the question. I just blushed and bade them goodbye. It's not because I had no idea what to answer. I could have said that they make me happy just welcoming me in and pouring me a cup of tea. I could have said that there are/were only four things* ( none of which are under her or aforementioned winged horse's control) that could have made me happier then I was at the moment before she asked. Through the weird logic of my mind notwithstanding the fact that asking was very touching and such the moment just after she asked I was miserable and an answer impossible.
* Just in case she pops by this blog; the short list of four in no particular order:
- Becoming an aunt: not unless you're serious about being adopted into my family
- Good results: in my hands only I fear and I'm doing a good job screwing up
- Become a millionaire: won't happen unless you win the lottery and give me all your winnings
- Mr. Way-Out-Of-My-League: well, . . . you have been known to cook for him so maybe if I dropped you a bottle of rohypnol and you accidentally slip it into his pumpkin soup?
Iraq
I just took an action on the internet telling the new US Congress to
stop President Bush's plan to escalate the war in Iraq, and I thought
you might be interested. Please see the email below.
Subject: You Thought Iraq Could Not Get Worse
Dear friends,
Just when we thought the war in Iraq couldn't get any worse - it has.
Last
night, President Bush rejected reality, spurned the American people's
verdict, and announced his new policy: MILITARY ESCALATION IN IRAQ.
The good news is that the newly elected United States Congress can stop
this madness. We're launching an immediate campaign to let the Congress
hear from global voices - placing an ad with the number of signatures to
our petition in "Roll Call", an influential political paper sent to
every
member of the US Congress. Click below to see the ad, and sign the
petition:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/iraq_campaign_jan_2007/
With hope,
Ricken, Paul, Tom, Rachel, Galit, Lee-Sean and the rest of the
Avaaz.org Team

Ramsey Nasr
It's been a while since I provided the female visitors of my blog with some eye candy (I apologise for the term towards the male visitors but they are the words of the love coach and the love coach cannot be wrong). So here is an actor, director and poet who has everything to commend himself- unkept dark curly hair, three day beard, sexy voice, a talent with words, an argumented opinion of his own- safe being part dutch and living in Antwerp.

Not Saddam though
You are the Hanged Man
Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.
With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of
loss from a situation, rather than gain.
The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.
The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

The Book Game
The Book Game.
Here are the rules
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next four sentences on your blog, along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest!
I know I typed six instead of the requested four sentences but now the quote is a complete one. And since I'm in a generous mood the first person who can tell me (in irl) from which book the quote is may join me for a small cup of mexican chocolatemilk at the chocolatebar.
Rant II
* had I written this in full rage I would not have admitted it but fact is this might be true
** superior to theirs at any rate I don't claim geniusness
*** not of course a toothpick but a reputed beauty who has in my opinion all the talent beauty charisma and size of a spaghetti straw

2007: the changing
Edit: To those close enough to know I miss them, love them, miss them more: Even in a crowded dance hall I am lonely without you, but I'm not complaining not being loved is bearable when I know that you are getting the love I'm missing.
