RL has been keeping me extremely busy, which is why my entries are so late. I will play catch-up now :D

My favorite childhood book is the neverending story written by Michael Ende. I loved the fantastic world he created in this and the duality of the story, making the reader more a part of it. I was also a huge fan of the 80ties movie. Thinking of this I have a huge urge to rewatch.

I've made a friends cut for the first time on livejournal. Mostly it was journals that haven't been active in years or prople I haven't talked to in years and never had much of a relationship with.

What I've been posting lately is very personal and I want to have a better sense who reads it and who is still actually here to do so.

If I cut someone who didn't want to be cut, pleas just tell me, I might have made mistakes here and there. I think I cut about 50 journals.

Time is not on my side this weekend. So many accidents and stupid things. Arg.

I'm leaving out my blogname. Because it's my RL nick. My actual name is Elisabeth.

As for what I collect. I've collected everything from stamps, to miniature perfume bottles, to coral stones, and little plastic figures until one day I sort looked at the stuff and it didn't have any meaning. So I now don't actively collect things.

However I do have a lot of books, cds and a growing assortment of vinyls. Because I cannot live without reading material or without music. I also have a few tv shows and movies on DVD and Blue Ray. But even those kind of are just there and I haven't used them in ages. I've been having this strange urge to downsize for months.

I don't really have a most proud moment. But I'm actually quite happy with all the things I managed to do for my health, mental and physical, this year. I hope I can keep it up :D

At the top of my bucket is to work in another country. I've been wanting today tghat even before I studied grafic design.

So I squeezed the rest of my banana out of it's shell and was a bit to forceful. It catapulted out and ended up in my tea mug with a very loud splash. The odds.

How much money does this even mean ;) I think I would start with buying a loft-like apartment in a city like London or New York. So that I'd be set and didn't have to pay rent. I would also style and decorate the apartment the most awesome ways I could. Especially kitchen equipment.

Then I would take time off to travel all sorts of places all around the world, preferrably with friends and pay that for them if they let me.

I would also give money to some charities, to people in need. And to creative projects that I would love to see realized.

- Bold all of the following TV shows of which you've seen 3 or more episodes.
- Italicize a show if you're positive you've seen every episode.
- Asterisk * if you have at least one full season on tape or DVD
- If you want, add up to 3 additional shows (keep the list in alphabetical order).

( The Shows )

I have added Terminator: the Sarah connor Chronicles, Chicago Fire and Orphan Black.

I'm not sure what my earliest memory is. My memory is very scetchy and episodic. But I do remember saving a hedgehog in the garden once when I was little. But I don't remember details at all.

I also remember I played with playmobil and barbies a lot. But I never actually played with them. I created homes for them and put them in it and took it down again after.

I also remember we were on vacation in Como and we were shopping and I really got on my dads nerves about getting a pink plastic purse (not barbie though).

All the pink, it's quite surprising I ended up such a Science Ficition Geek. But well, I alway wanted to be Han Solo ;)

So I have way too many shows to watch on mondays. I usually don't manage to see all, but I'm still watching The Walking dead, The Good Wife, Homeland and Revenge. I dropped Once upon a Time and I'm really glad about that.

This season of the Good Wife is phenominal. If you haven't you should check out the show without getting into spoilers. Homeland has also improved a lot this season in comparison to the last one. Not sure how I feel about The Walking Dead and Revenge. I'm not enjoying them quite as much anymore.

Also there is a new Veronce Mars feature video. I'm really so excited about this movie.

I've found this blog of a woman who does stamps a while back and have been meaning to do it since I also wanted to write more letters and it's nice to put those stamps on them. I also got her book as a starting point. I've finally started creating some :D Here are my first tries. I'm lacking the finesse a bit but I hope my stamps will become cleaner with time.

( more stamps )

I just read that Jamie Dornan has been cast as Christian Grey. OMG run away Jamie!! Now!

I'm so excited for this movie! Aaaaaahhh!

Last weekend, my friend Yasmin was with me the entire weekend and I cooked and baked for her. We also crafted and talked and it was wonderfully relaxing. It kind of inspired me to make this post of dished I made recently and took pics off.


( lots of pics of food )
