Happy go lucky!
(That's also the title of a great movie. Go watch it!
)
Can a week get any better?
For a start last Monday was a national holiday, so I had the day off of work. Which is a great beginning on a week in itself
Then I got to know I'll be able to go to Scotland for a couple of weeks this summer after all. I'm too broke to pay the tickets myself because I won't get paid in July, so I didn't think I'd get to see *
MysteriousFayth untill October or so. But no, his parents are paying the tickets! o.O Sure, we have to pay them back later, but yey!
The day after I got a new sofa (knowing I had to get this is also part of the reason why I couldn't afford Scotland tickets). My brother came by and had to get the chairs I had borrowed back, beause he has just moved into a new flat. Resulting in me having to sit on the floor for a day. Japanese style FTW!
My new sofa is soooo comfy! And my living room looks a lot better with it! Can't wait till I can afford getting the other furniture I've got planned for this room. It still looks a bit empty... Though that means lots of space to work on cosplays!
Anyway, I still had more good news waiting for me! Wednesday I got a letter saying I got the job I had applied for!
It's in the same nursery as I work now, but my current position only lasts out July (I'm a stand-in for someone on a sick leave), so that meant I would be without a job come August. But not anymore!
I'm so happy! I won't have to worry about saving up for my rents and such anymore *relieved*.
Aaaand Thursday my Mum phoned and said she and Dad will be visiting next weekend. Which is great, as I haven't seen them since the beginning of February ^_^
Now roll on new week!
Cosplays
The past week I've been posting some pics of my Rider and Saria cosplays. I've still to post any pics of my Rip van Winkle cosplay, so that is still to come. And I've got a few left to post from my Saria winter shoot.. I'm just being sloooow
Also I'm waiting for the pics from the Shikatema shoot.
I've also made a start on two of my next cosplays. Meladru is still in the planning and research phase, but Astaroshe Asran have her patterns now. So now I'm ready to start cutting the fabrics and start sewing ^_^
Tag!
Months ago (February I think) I was tagged by *
Adamoluna to do the 8 Truths quiz. And I was tagged by someone (can't remember who, sorry
) to do the 100 Thruths. I've finally done it now, but seeing as I was tagged in two different quizzes, I went for the middleish option and did 50 Truths
Not that I think anyone will be bothered reading all of them
I won't tag anyone, as most of you have done this already.
1. I’m a Procrastinator (yes, capital P ) >.< I never get things done until a few minutes before deadline. *sigh*
2. I love mermaids! And I’m going to make a mermaid costume at some point and have an underwater photo shoot. *dreams*
3. In fact, I love all mythical creatures. And I’m often reading up on, or looking for pictures of them.
4. Thinking of it; myths, ghost stories and paranormal things have always been a big part of my life. I’m terrified of ghosts (yes I’m a believer), but I’m also very, very curious and find the subject very interesting.
5. I also love fairy tales. Have always done. A good thing, now that I work in a nursery
6. I’m very, very easily distracted (unless it’s something I find really funny or interesting). This mixed with #1 makes me amazed that I can get anything done at all.
7. Disney movies! Gotta love them! ^__^ I’m a collector.
8. I love animals. I respect them more than humans. When I was a kid I almost always chose nature documentaries over children’s shows on TV if they were on at the same time. I also recorded them and watched them over and over again. Sir David Attenborough, my hero!
9. I wanted to study biology. But one thing led to another, and I ended up as a nursery teacher. I regret it now as animals is what I really want to work with… I’m hoping I someday will have the energy to go back to uni and do something that will make me able to change my career.
10. I moved away from home when I was 15 and a half. I come from a small town, so I had to move away in order to continue my education. I love living on my own, but I do miss the company of having someone to spend the days with. I miss the family atmosphere.
11. Because of the long trek and the cost (sooo expensive! >.< I hardly ever go home. I love my parents and I get along really well with them, but it’s often about 6 months between the times I see them.
12. I’m a Zelda geek! And I’ll always be a Nintendo follower because of it.
13. I love subcultures, but I like too many different styles to be able to fit into one myself.
14. If you take a hundred pics of me when I’m tipsy and a hundred pics when I’m sober, I’ll most likely like a higher percentage of the tipsy pics. I’m shy so I pose a lot better when tipsy. And I actually look more drunk on the pics where I’m sober
15. I love games, but I hardy ever find the time to sit down to play them
16. I LOVE Scotland! Especially Edinburgh.
17. My boyfriend is Scottish, though not from Edinburgh
18. I’ve been a cosplayer for almost 4 years now (counting from the first con I went to. Not my first lame attempts on making a costume) but I’ve never cosplayed in Norway, which is where I live.
19. I really love my friends, but I live almost like a hermit. Getting out of the door seems to crave a lot of energy. :>.<:
20. Beer is my favourite alcoholic drink.
21. I love reading fantasy novels. Current favourite authors are Tolkien, Robin Hobb and Trudi Canavan. Still, there are so many books I want to read. So the list is bound to get longer.
22. There is no better feeling than the first time you read a really good book and can’t wait to turn the page to get to know what will happen. Finishing a good book makes me sad, as I know I will never read this book for the first time ever again.
23. I’m also a bit afraid to finish reading books, as my favourite characters almost always seem have something horrible happen to them and thus will have to lead a sad life after the book is finished. Or they die. It doesn’t seem to matter if my favourite is one of the good guys or bad guys. I’ve often been seen crying when reading. They are evil those authors! XD
24. When meeting new people I seem to get to know guys before girls, and get better along with them as well.
25. I HATE smoking. The smell of cigarettes is one of the worst ones I know. And people smoking nearby me when waiting for something, like the bus, makes me annoyed. Can’t they at least stand so the wind takes the smoke away from the rest of us, instead of TOWARDS us! Grrr! Please show some consideration!
26. No matter how much I try to get used to going to bed early and getting up early, I never seem to manage… No matter how long I try I generally feel awake at night and really sleepy in the morning. Even if I did manage to fall asleep early, I’m still really tired in the morning >.<
27. My current best friends are mostly the same as the ones I had when I was a kid. I got to know them when I was about 4 -8 years old. The fact that I’ve still got them is quite amazing as we’ve had to move two times in order to attend high school and go to uni. But we always ended up in the same place ^_^ It’s going to change soon though
28. I hate asking for help and money. Be it from friends, boyfriend or parents.
29. I can’t stand watching movies where someone is being tortured. I can almost feel what’s happening to them myself. Not the pain itself obviously, but my body feels all weird and uncomfortable and I feel sick to my stomach. A lot more so than everyone else I know.
30. I’m also terrified of setting fire to my apartment. Even if I know I haven’t used my stove that day, I still have to check if it’s turned off before leaving the apartment. Same with lights, toasters and so on. This combined with #28 makes me wonder if I was tortured and burned alive in some previous life
31. Reincarnation fascinates me. And now that I’ve read a fair bit about it, and tales about small children who proved they’ve lived before it’s starting to makes sense. Yet I can’t bring myself to believe in it...
32. I’m an agnostic.
33. Like most girls, I have a huge issue with the way I look. Especially my skin.
34. I’m a comic book geek. But it’s in my genes. My whole family is.
35. I love to grow plants. The only thing I currently dislike with my apartment is that it has so few windows. Meaning not much daylight get in here, so I won’t be able to have living plants in most rooms.
36. I love doing memes and quizzes. But I try to post them as seldom as possible, as I doubt more than a very few people bother to read my posts.
37. I can’t think of a single thing I think I’m good at. There are things I’m ok at. But nothing I’m really good at. I just get mediocre at everything I try.
38. I usually don’t care much about pairings. I don’t mind them, but I don’t care much. But there are three pairings I REALLY love: Shikamaru x Temari – Naruto, Akkarin x Sonea – Black Magician trilogy by Trudi Canavan, Fitz x the Fool – The Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies by Robin Hobb.
39. I love getting emails and comments on stuff I do and post. But I find replying to them boring XD I do try to get it done, though sometimes people will have to wait a bit before I get around to writing the reply. Sorry >.<
40. I suck at math. As in, I’m
really bad at math! I’m lost without a calculator, even on the easiest of tasks. Troublesome.
41. My favourite sweets are salt liquorice. I had a hard time liking in the UK because they didn’t sell anything like that over there. Not that I could find anyway. I had my friends and mum to send me supplies every so often.
42. I use smilies and emoticons way too much. I’m trying to cut back on it.
43. I get easily obsessed with things. Meaning I’ll watch movies, play games, look for pictures or fictions relevant to what I’m obsessed with. Atm I’m in a Zelda phase again
44. My favourite time of the year is summer!
45. I’d love to move south (and probably will do shortly, as I’m getting restless up here), but I’m pretty sure I love the midnight sun, the northern lights and the sea too much to be able to grow old somewhere else. Meaning I’ll probably move back north at some point.
46. I get really happy if someone invites me over to build their IKEA furniture. I think it’s really funny, and look at it as a big 3D puzzle. The more pieces the better
47. I go way too often too long without eating. I’m not on a diet or anything, but if I’m not eating together with someone I end up going “Meh… I can’t be bothered making something to eat.” And so I might end up going a full day without eating. It’s bad, I know >.<
48. I’ve got a driver’s license. But I haven’t used it in years… I hate driving!
49. I love nature, and can lie for hours on the ground just listening to the sound of the forest or sea, and watch small bugs walk by me.
50. I really want to own a dog once I’ve got my own house, and know I’m going to be living in the same place for a while. I’m also going to get a pet rat, and maybe some mantis, hopefully not long from now. Atm I have not pets.
That was hard!

Life and a pleasant surprise 
She based it one this picture:
Tired
Speaking of which, anyone going to start playing Aion? I'm wondering wether or not to get the game. It's looks great, what keeps me from running to the store is the monthly fees. And I'm trying to save money for moving next year, and possibly going back to uni... Gah! I hate thinking of money! >.< But.. knowing me, I'll probably end up buying it.. Sooo, anyone playing it? 
Happy
Gloomy
