Deleting old emails, I found this quiz.

( Take a look and see what part of Orlando Bloom's body I supposedly own )

But I HAD to post it! Thanks to the wonderful pair, nikitas_lair and elflady2001 for... Well, click and see. You might want to have a cushion near, just in case. dyoselin, you think you can fit one more person in that padded room you and Carms used to share?

( I've never waited for my birthday with so much enthusiasm! )

Click at your own risk.

( Warning: partially naked and VERY hot Orlando Bloom )

Okay, let me set the facts straight. I try not to act like a hormonal, desperate woman. It's all this man's fault. Damn him. As the caption says, who could be Zoe Saldana, at least for a second???

I didn't made them. I don't claim the own them. I barely got them from nikitas_lair who was kind enough to credit the person who got these captions.

( THUD )

Yes, this man keeps conrrupting me! :P

( Rolled up sleeves )

dyoselin, I'm going through your calendar, I hope you don't mind. ;)

( Interesting )

Meme I got from dyoselin

( The things you do when you have too much spare time in your hands )

To celebrate the new, Kateless Orlando. :D

I started typing this entry about yesterday and the computer died on me. I was so frustrated that I decided to give up and try again today. Here I am.

One thing is for sure: I'm pathetic when it comes to update this thing. It's always in my mind to make at least a short entry, but the most of the times I sit in front of the computer and use my time to do other stuff. Like researching for my fics :)

I've come to the conclusion that I love doing the research as much as I love doing the writing part. You get the chance to learn about many things, especially if you consider my tendencies to put my characters through hell before they get some happiness. :P

I've been doing fine. Besides of four of my cousins from Tandil (and a friend) came to MdP without warning, I'm fine. *LOL* One good thing about living in a small apartment is that you can't have people staying with you. I know they're family and that I should be happy that they came to visit (and above all, that they stayed at my uncle's) but I wasn't. I like them, I love spending some time with them, but that's it. And above all, I guess like pretty much everyone is this world, I hate being forced to spend time with someone I don't want to.

I just sent an email to my Polish friend Mariola. She just got engaged about a month ago, so I wanted to get some updates on how everything's going.

Did anyone catch Orlando Bloom at the Golden Globes? I had my squealing fan girl moment when I saw him there... and without Bosworth. WOOHOO!

Vero, a.k.a. epee_girl is back from holidays, which gave me the chance to post my super homemade birthday card. I can't believe something so simple as what I initially planned to do took me about 5 hours!

Another person who's back... CARMEN! My lovely friend Carmen came back from Italy, where she spent 3 weeks eating like a pig, according to her own words. *LOL* Cold this be the much expected return of the Terrible Trio??? *evil grin* What say you, dyoselin?

I'm back at work. Bye bye to my holidays. But as weird as it may sound, I think I missed it. Especially if you consider that my boss is away and won't be around to stop me spending my time either reading fics, writing my own, or doing covers. What a responsible person I am! *LOL*

I'm thinking about doing some pic spams... Let's see what pictures I can find!

Kingdom Of Heaven's Trailer. I have to say that seeing this trailer didn't help at all. I want this movie out now!

You wanna know what my most recent discovery is? You’re gonna say that I’m dumb, and I probably am, but this is what happened: last Sunday, my brother and his wife (now THAT sounds weird!) came for lunch. Only then, after knowing Julieta for 3 or 4 years, I realized that she has two different colored eyes. She was sitting and the light entering from the window was right on her while I was on the phone and I only saw it then. One of her eyes is brown and the other is green. How come I didn’t notice before, I don’t know. I always thought she had green eyes. That goes to show how much I interacted with my sister-in-law in these past years. :P Oh, and she REALLY has two different colored eyes, unlike someone *coughKATEBOSWORTHcough* who says that a brown spot in a blue eye means having two different colored eyes. *shakes head*

Last night was weird, if that term explains it. Let me tell you why… Since 2000, I’ve been listening to a radio show every night –from Monday to Friday- in Rock & Pop FM. It’s a station from Buenos Aires that has different ‘associates’ in different points of the country. We mostly get the shows done over there, but then each ‘associate’ has at least three local shows. Well, the MdP one has three, and this one, the one my brother got me into listening, is the one which has been on air for the longest time. Ok, thing is, last night was their 1200th show on air and then they said that after the show finishes this December they won’t do it again. It was quite a shock, because they never hinted that this could happen.

It’s going to be so strange to go back home after work and not grab my old, battered walkman to listen to them from 9 to 11 PM! They had been my companions almost each night for almost five seasons… I remember I began listening to them when I first began to write, when I would stay up at night to be alone and write without having people looking over my shoulder. They had been there as I tried my luck writing in English with the very first chapters of ‘Love Bites’… Actually, they have been my background music and general nonsense as I wrote almost every fic I’ve done in my life. It’s gonna be weird next year not to listen to them coming back after the summer.

Then, as I listened the these guys saying that on their show, I found that Locomotion was playing the very first chapter of Robotech. Let me explain myself here… Robotech is one of the fondest memories of my childhood. The first time it got aired down here must have been around 1986, so I was 5 or 6 years old at that time. My brother and I loved that show and watched it everyday until it ended. The weird thing is that they didn’t make re-runs of that one, something completely unusual for some of out TV channels (I’m sure at least one of them is still airing Alf and the Three Stooges). So, after that season ended, we never got to see it again. Until I was 12, that’s it.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Robotech is a cyclical thing in my life, something that only happens every six years. *LOL* I watched it for the first time when I was 6, caught it again when I was 12, then the third time when I was 18 (the time when I taped the last episode of the first part, the one with Rick Hunter and Lisa Hayes, for those who know this show and my brother had the bright idea of taping an Iron Maiden show right in the piece of tape where the episode was). So I guess that the cycle is true, because I’m almost 24 and I get the chance of watching it again, for the fourth time :)

What else?? Oh, I got the chance to chat with epee_girl on Sunday after weeks of not hearing about her… Geez… four hours aren’t enough for us, right?? *LOL* We drooled over Orlando, not to mention the strange comments that come out of our mouths (rather, our fingers) when we see a picture of Sean Bean *blushes*

I got so behind with everything! I owe emails to lots of people (especially my Danish pal Bettina… She’s gonna kill me one of these days!), I have about 160 unread emails from the WDKB yahoogroup, but it’s a pleasure reading them. I don’t think I’ve ever found a group where you can say anything that comes to mind –whether related to Orlando Bloom or not- and no one is going to be bitchy about it. We’ve all had bad experiences in other groups where, only by expressing our opinions on the PR fraud that is O/K, so it’s refreshing to be there.

Talking about O/K… I’ve seen so much hypocrisy around them and their relationship, especially from some fans. Tell me if I’m wrong but… If one of the rules of your group is to supposedly keep Orlando Bloom’s personal life private it’s fine with me, that’s one of the reasons why I like Ka-bloom and why it has survived with a certain level of decency in it. But don’t use that as a shield when someone says something bad about Kate Bosworth, telling me that we shouldn’t talk about OB’s personal life when YOU, either the owner or one of the most active members of the group, sent a link with the paparazzi pictures of them somewhere. It hasn’t happened to me, but I’ve seen it.

I got tired of that crap. That’s why I put up the banner to one of the LJ communities against the O/K fraud. I guess I can say I came out of the closet *LOL* Besides, I don’t think a shipper will come specifically to my LJ and defend her. I don’t allow anonymous posting here, so if someone does, he/she has to show his/her face. I’ve seen dozens of posters bashing the anti O/K comments in sammie323’s journal. They’re all anonymous, though. Wonder why. ;)

Enough rant. Go and enjoy my new layout before I get the time to make the new one I have in mind. :P

Something funny I got from sammie323's journal.

What Orlando Bloom are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

This should have been posted last night, but the connection was being a bitch as usual.

This song never fails to put me in a good mood. :)

Things at work are a lot calmer than last week – at least for now. No unwanted people has shown up, which is a very good thing.

For those who read AYTM, you will be happy to know that I’ve finally recovered from a light case of writer’s block. I don’t think it was literally a writer’s block, but maybe more of a necessity to step away from writing for a couple of days. Believe me… I tried sitting down every night and write something, but no words came out. Not even a crappy sentence. About two days ago, I wrote about four paragraphs of the new chapter, but it let it rest until yesterday. I began typing what I had so far and then words began to flow, just like that. Of course it still needs improvement, but hey, it’s something! :) I should warn you all, though. Brace yourselves for what’s coming. *evil grin*

I’ve discovered a special connection with my web design teacher: she’s a fan of Orlando Bloom too. =D Browsing through her picture folders, I found a special one called ‘Lord Of The Rings’ and guess who I found there? Orlando, Viggo, and even Hugh Jackman. Now I know why we get along so well. =D

Has anyone ever heard a song called ‘Photograph’ by Def Leppard? I think it is the perfect song for, at least, a songfic. I got this CD when I was still in high school, but only recently did I discover the potential of this song. What can you do with lines that go like this: ‘I see you’re face every time I dream – on every page, every magazine – so wild and free, so far from me – you’re all I want, my fantasy’? What do you think, Jocelyn? *wink-wink* I think it would make a great Orlando fic.

Guess what? I just got paid. *jumps around in joy* The thing is… let’s see how much money I have left by this time, next month. *LOL* I have to buy the clothes for the wedding… the shoes… It’s my mom’s birthday this Sunday… Then comes Santy’s birthday in September 24th… Not to mention Mother’s day in October… Get my point?

Monday was a hard day at work. One of the teachers called my boss while I was out and told him that she had fallen and had broken her shoulder. *shudder* I have never broke a bone in my life and I pretend to stay that way, considering everything she told me about the pain she felt. So you can imagine me calling all her students to tell them that they wouldn’t have classes that day. It took me about an hour and a half to call them all and by the time I was done, I had a huge headache. See why I don’t pick up the phone at home, Jocelyn? *LOL*

*chants* Must remember to tape the concert, must remember to tape the concert */chants* My brother asked me to tape him the Ronnie James Dio concert from the radio. Don’t know if any of you has ever heard of this guy – he’s an amazing singer with a powerful voice, all bottled up in a rather small form :P He’s playing in Buenos Aires, but there’s a radio station that usually airs the shows for the rest of the country, either through the other stations it has in other cities, or through the net. That’s good considering all the artists seem to believe that Argentina is only Buenos Aires…

Exciting news: if I didn’t read the wrong thing, Nightwish is coming to BA in November. I tried to convince my brother to go, but with the wedding and all I don’t think he’ll be able to do it. Still, I have to check if tickets are sold here and maybe, just maybe, I might be able to go. Usually, when some important band comes to BA, there are certain companies here in MdP that hire buses to take the locals over to the venue; they wait for you outside and then drive back to MdP as soon as they show is over. If there’s something like that this time – and if I have the money :P- I’ll give it a go. I have to see them live. I have to see the ‘green eyed sweaty boy’ ( Tasha *LOL*) with my own eyes!

Jocelyn, I still haven’t got your ‘package’, but I’ll be calm if I were you. Everything you have sent me before has arrived without taking too long, so it might take one or two days more than they told you over there. Either way, don’t worry, I’ll let you know as soon as I get it, ok? You got me all curious now, and you know how impatient I am! *LOL*

BTW, have you read AYTM 21? Please feel free to comment as much as you want, for I’m not quite satisfied with that chapter. Writing transitional chapters is much harder than writing eventful ones, dammit. :P I’ll send you TT tomorrow, couldn’t finish commenting today. :(

Ta!

New Murphy’s law: If you take a CD to listen at work because you think you’re gonna have an easy day, everyone will come in asking for information whenever you’re listening to your favourite song. That applies for the damn phone as well.

I know, I should NOT take CDs to work, but Tuesdays and Thursdays are usually very calm days. And if you consider that my stereo hasn’t miraculously repaired itself yet, :) then I have to bring them to work with me if I want to listen to them.

If you haven’t ever listened to Nightwish, do it. It might take one or two times listening the CD until you can finally ‘digest’ it, but once you do, you won’t regret it. I personally recommend ‘Wishmaster’ if you are in a Conan The Barbarian mood *LOL*, ‘Over The Hills And Far Away’ (Gary Moore’s song) if you search for some ‘familiar’ territory and ‘Dead Boy’s Poem’ if you want music to give you goose bumps. ‘Swanheart’ is beautiful too. The combination of Tarja, an opera singer, with melodic metal music is just great. Not too heavy that you’d run away scared, though. :P

Enough music. Now to the question that’s been nagging me all day: how can one man (as in Orlando Bloom) make me step out of the shower, dripping water and shampoo to watch some five-second clip about him? Because I’m nothing but a teenybopper, I guess. Hormonal? Maybe. Obsessive? Definitely! I guess I have to make clear that my mom shouted ‘ORLANDO BLOOM!’ in first place, which made me rush out of the bathroom, barely stopping to grab a towel. :)

Jocelyn, I’ve been meaning to ask you… How do I change the font of the entries without messing everything up? And how can I change the link so you don’t have to host the layout? Not that I mind, I just don’t want to steal your Photobucket space unnecessarily. :) If I get inspired (and if I have the time) I might try my luck at making layouts with Corel one of these days.

I might post ‘Wynter’ in MITM this week if I get to type all the chapters I have written until now. I also have to figure out how to continue ‘AYTM’ from now on. Not that there are many options *grins* but what I’m actually trying to decide is whether the next chapter should jump forward in time to a couple of days before Tina gives birth to her baby and briefly tell what happened in between, or write a couple of chapters about the in-between itself. I’m almost set on the first option, though. Oh, I also came up with the ending, that was quite blurry in my mind. :P I know what you’re thinking: how can she write something without knowing the ending? I actually knew what I wanted, but now HOW I wanted it to happen.

In the meantime, there is this story line that’s been going around in my head since last year, helped a lot by a Darkness’ song called ‘Love Is Only A Feeling’. It has slowly taken shape, going in one direction at first and then in the other, but now that the most of it is more or less settled, I still don’t know whether to write a main story and a sequel, write three kinda short stories, or make one long one. Decisions, decisions… I might need your advise, dyoselin :) I really like the idea of the three stories, though. They would be mostly inspired by three different songs: HIM’s ‘Wicked Game’, The Darkness’ ‘Love is Only A Feeling’ and Bon Jovi’s ‘Wild Is the Wind’.

Gotta go now. Gotta email my boss… although whether he’s actually going to read it is something else. I guess my email will vegetate in his inbox until he gets his computer fixed…

Bye!

Yes, I'm officialy on holiday and boy it feels great! I have no idea what an I going to do with my life for the next two weeks.

For starters, I've visited a forum I hadn't checked in ages: The Darkness' one. There's a thread called 'The Fittest Person'... Do I need to say how many times Orlando Bloom has been seen there? *LOL* Of course I contributes a couple of times as well.

The second thing I want to do is to catch up with the movies that have been released in video lately. Yesterday I saw the Ned Kelly's poster and I almost jump out of the bus. *grins* That one is at the top of my list.

Third: I MUST GO TO THE GYM. Desperately. I need to lose weight and I feel like doing it, so I have to use that. It's a pity gyms are mostly a temple for egotistical people who wants to be seen which ruins it for me. If I go to the gym, I don't want to be seen by other people just because they think it's cool. I'm there to do something for me and my health, not to meet guys. Although it wouldn't be a bad idea...

Fourth: I must catch up with emails that had been laying around waiting for a reply for ages. It's a miracle people still emails me, considering how long it takes me to reply sometimes.

Fifth: carry on writing. I'm on a roll. I can't stop. I'm working on AYTM and I just can't let it go, although I would really like to work some more in 'Wynter'. I also have a story line going round in my head... It has actually been there for months, since I saw ROTK for the first time. It was a bit blurry for a long time, but I think it's the perfect moment to start working on it. I have to do some research, though... One of the main characters will be an addict and that's something you just can write without thinking about it or, at least, read about it.

Sixth: Help my mum to put some order in our house. There are tons of things that I've put away because I didn't need them that need to be put in the trash, but I can't let my mom do that. She'd throw everything away without asking first. :P

Seventh: update my LJ more often. *blushes*
