  1. Well I have some of the OCD things, as in checking several times (when I am stressed like 10 times sometimes) if I have everything with me when I leave the house or some other place.. I check phone, wallet, keys, and even though I have just close the bag, and nothing's on the floor, I have to open it again to see if I do have everything. So annoying, and can get me angry with myself but sometimes I don't feel good when I don't do it. Have been trying to push myself to just NOT do it though. And something else, don't do it a lot anymore these days, sometimes in very stressy times, and it came back a little when dad was ill, but has gone now mostly again.. to write out with my fingers, or in thought, every word I think. When I was younger I used to do this all the time, when I lay in bed mostly, could barely go to sleep. What else? Is twirling your hair odd? I just noticed myself doing it again, I do it all the time, just take a strand of my hair (I have really long hair, halfway down my back) and twirl it around my fingers, feels nice, is such a habit. I'm weird, so I probably have other weird habits.
  2. What is it with you guys and vodka? I can't stand the stuff, not that I don't like the taste (when it's mixed, can't drink it pure, blegh) but my stomach always tells me after half a drink that it's wise to not drink more for risk of extensive vomiting. The sickest I have ever been, well one of the times, was from vodka.. the other times was tequila (baaaaaaaaad drink) and Jagermeister. To this day I can't smell either without becoming nauseous. There were times when I couldn't even stand the smell of lemon because we used to do tequila shots. But so nooooo. I do also like the cherry or berry flavoured beer, the red stuff? We call it "kriek" beer. Yummy. I have no trouble drinking 2 liters a day, I sort of always have a drink standing by, sometimes I drink two glasses every hour or so. Not because I am really that thirsty (hell no, then I'd have myself checked out for diabetes) but because I like drinking yummy things (and I like water too so). Which is why I tend to stick to light drinks too, can you imagine me drinking regular sodas or such then? Sugar rush. However I just usually drink max 4 cups of coffee a day, don't notice the caffeine really. I don't do energy drinks, they're disgusting. No coffee after dinner time for me too, I don't like that. And who was it above that said they drink full fat milk? Yuck! I just drink semi-skinned or non-fat milk, full fat tastes disgusting and is so not good for you.
  3. aww well thankies, he always does seem to be ready to have his pic taken, though when he's playing I'm lucky to get more than his backside on a pic.. ;) but he's still a youngster, a little over 3 months so he's still all cute looking. :)

  4. Hmm. Well I of course have my moments when I do something incredibly stupid and I feel like I should be able to press a button so the earth will come up and swallow me please.. But I found that when you just laugh at yourself at a moment like that, you rule them. Like, the dancing to your ipod thingie? Well, kick it up a notch when they see you, let them see you see them and act sillier, laugh about yourself, and suddenly it's just funny and not so much embarrassing. Tripping over your own feet too, even in a crowded street, becomes much funnier when you laugh about it. These things happen to people, so I try not to let them bother me. Though honestly, I can be so clumsy at times.
  5. Actually I didn't mind the camping bit, was a nice change from the usual decor, I mean Hogwarts is fabulous, but still. And ahhhhh. Buzzkill. I mean.. November? I have to wait till november to see this? *pouts* Always have this when I see a trailer for a film I really like to see, I wanna see it NOW! Might just have to rewatch some of the other films. I have all of them in my dvd cabinet. Or else read some of the books, I have all of them too. Some double even, in Dutch first then in English. Me, liking HP? Nah.

    Tattoos!

    And you want to get the same tattoo as some celebrity? I could never see myself do that, like I don't know if I could just pick something from the tattoo parlor, I'd have to give my own twist to it. The tattoo has to be mine.

    ^You do know this thread is better with pics don't you? I took a new pic two days back, this time I tried for a better shot using the.. don't know what it's called, but with that it automatically takes a pic after 2 sec? Anyway, no bending over backwards to make a pic and it looks gooooood.
  8. Well I haven't read any of those I think, but I picked the next bit off this site: That's just one review though, there's probably more floating around answering this question. Couldn't get on to the official Robin Hobb site because of some database error, so don't know what they're saying about it.
  9. That there's a Twilight Sucks forum. No kidding. I was looking for something that had nothing to do with Twilight (Elvish tattoo art) and somehow I got to a pic that would have to be on that forum, well it wasn't, or not that I could find. But seriously.. a Twilight Sucks forum? People who say how sad it is that people love Twilight? Well I think it's sadder that people bother to make a forum about that. Right?
  10. Does anyone remember the dutch song? It was sooo awful, funny thing was most people in my country hated the song.. it's like, old folklore stuff but none of the good things about that. It's as ancient and not Holland as tulips, clogs, windmills and cheese. The image foreigners may have of Holland but it's just a tiny bit of us that actually like these things. The girl who sung that song lives in my town, actually like 10 minutes from my house, and is related far off to some cousing of mine, don't know if she's related to me, I hope not. Can you believe she's only 18?

    Tattoos!

    Well I can imagine anyone fainting from the way it felt when they were doing my tattoo, you sure it wasn't because of the nerves or anything? I mean, I wouldn't even call it pain really, just like this little bit of burning sensation, not entirely unpleasant either.. But I love wrist tattoos too, and I don't see this one being my last tattoo, people say they're addictive and maybe it's a good thing I can never make up my mind and I don't have that much money, this one cost me 150 euros, so that's not an amount of money I can spare a lot.

    Tattoos!

    So, the day did come today, and I got pics. The tattoo still looks a bit scruffy, of course it still has to clear up, not to mention the one pic where literally just took off the wrappings.. For those of you who don't know, the name's my dad's, he died of cancer in october. I loved getting it done, honestly, it didn't actually hurt a bit. Was a weird feeling, like burning pressure a bit, but i could barely feel he punctured my skin with the needle.
  13. ^Ditto, sort of. In that genre I just read Laurell Hamilton, but I haven't read the last two books yet because honestly, I think 15 to 22 euros is too much money for a bad quality paperback. And I don't miss it. Might pick it up again, her books used to be my comfort reading, I loved and knew the characters so well. Now, it's more Jacqueline Carey, because her world is so vivid to me, and her books are very emotional, and full of wanderings to far off places, guess I need that now. I can pick up her books anytime, and I always love them.
  14. Anita Blake? Avoiding Dominga Salvador? Can't remember which book that was in though, the Laughing Corpse?
  15. Non-alcoholic, is some sort of tea, or coffee, just plain coffee with milk and sugar, or cappucino or latte machiato or something. Sweet anyway. Fruit juices I adore, preferably with mango or pineapple... my fav fruits. Alcoholic, I love some sweet or semi-sweet white wine, can't stand the dry kind. Not a fan of red wine. Maybe some cider, can be good too. I don't do stronger liquors anymore, not worth the hangover really, and i get those when even drinking a little liquor. But I love the white wine. However, I rarely drink. I live with mom, and she hates alcohol, her dad was an alcoholic and, at some point in the past so was dad. So her tolerance is low. So when going out, birthdays and holidays, that's all.
  16. Michael Ende's Neverending Story, Garth Nix's Old Kingdom trilogie (think these are YA books), some Thea Beckman books are great even when reading them now. Harry Potter obviously. "Torenhoog en Mijlen Breed" by Tonke Dragt, a Dutch writer, havent read it in a while but it's just a lovely book, taking place on Venus, but a Venus different than what is, a Venus covered in high, lush forests that break down anything sythetic, and believed to be inhospitable to men too, with a native intelligent species living in these woods. I don't know IF it's been translated, it probably has cause it's not a new book (read it when I was little, that's 20 years ago or sth) and it's quite famous. But there are some more, can't think of em now.
  17. Listening to Brian Tyler's OST of Children of Dune, it's awesome too, how could I forget that.. amazing music.
  18. Any Wheel of Time book, by Robert Jordan, generally towards the 1000 pages, but at least something like 800. Am going through them too fast still though.
  19. Sisters of Mercy - A rock and a hard place
  20. 75% first time, wasn't paying much attention to be honest.. second time 100%, what they should do though is have times in it when the color IS what is written, from what I can remember it's always not the color spelled..
  21. Well, guess I am part of the undead. Come here so I can eat your brains. But that book by Dan Simmons sounds definitely worth trying, though I can't imagine it scaring me. I do picture everything vividly when reading, so that's not the problem. Sometimes when I read a scene, I just sit there staring into nothing picturing it. But I don't know, it has never scared me since being a kid. Also I can have dreams that would be nightmares normally and just wake up to find them fascinating. Blood, gore, ghosts etc.. I am just usually loving the detail I dreamt those dreams in. I am no psychopath, I swear. But like I said before, not even horror films scare me most of the time, so can't imagine a book doing that. Will look into "the Terror" though. Edit: Yes, my local library has "The Terror" in english. And I must add too, I loved the Hyperion series, at least what I can remember of them, think I read them somewhere around age 13??
  22. Okay, wow didn't see this before. But yeah, EC is disturbing and quite explicit in its sexual and other (torture, cannibalism, necrophilia?) descriptions. But Lost Souls isn't a bad one, I mean it revolves around sex a lot, because it's vampires.. you know, exchange of bodily fluids.. but the sex scenes themselves aren't bad, they're not very descriptive or anything. It's a mild book, but well.. it's quite sexual all over, if that makes sense? Everything is described like everyone in the book just has one thing on his mind (sex that is) when you scratch a little deeper than the surface.. and for me that's fine cause I sort of think like that too. Ehm. Anyway, if this doesn't bother you, you should read this book, to start reading Poppy Z. Brite I'd start with this one, OR Drawing Blood. The sex scenes are more descriptive there (and pretty much just between men) but this book definitely has got more surreal imagery in it, a thing PB is very good at. Things I remember most from her books are the colors, the way she describes them. Colors and the feel of different places. So, well, I love Poppy Z. Brite, but I think that with her books it's love or hate, pretty much. No middle way. There's also some books out there with short stories she's written, so if you doubt about reading a full book, try one of those?
  23. I was gonna say I always use photobucket too, just tinypic for images that are random and I don't want to clutter my photobucket albums with them. For resizing, ehh I just use photoshop? Unless you just mean file size resizing and not pic dimensions resizing. Okay, you know how when you say a word too many times it can look funny? I have that with resizing now. Anyway, if it's for making the dimensions of a picture smaller, photoshop works too, and it's not that difficult to use, some of the finer editing stuff can be a , but image resizing is easy.
  24. Lord of the Rings! Amazing music.
  25. Hee hee then you're smarter than me, I had to wait ages for the Shadow Rising, thought I'd buy it at our local bookstore, but it kept not having it in stock, the problem with english books there is they only order new ones when they've sold the last copy.. so ended up having to order online, which takes about a week to deliver. It's a pain in the *ss getting books that are not Dutch here.

    But I managed to get my hands on two lovely hardback editions of the 8th and 9th book in the series at some secondhands store, now I just need the three books in between. This large a series isn' t good for when you don't have much money, but it's worth it. ;)
