... I just wrote loads of stuff here and lost it cause of stupid IE... *gnaws on it*

Okay, so in short. I'm going to my cabin on Monday, where I'll most likely stay a week, unless the weather's too sucky, so I won't be online for a while, and I won't get any art done (I've become rather hostile to drawing without my computer lately)... But, I'll try to get _something_ done before I leave, and get back to work once I return.

I haven't stopped drawing again, I just get distracted and start other things before finishing the first one... I have so many things in the works right now. Yes, I know, I'm hopeless. The only thing I've actually finished is this silly animation: [link] ... Which by the way inspired me to do more animation.

I rather doubt I'll finish all of these (3 of them have been WIP in over half a year...), but, there you are.
Here's an (updated) overview of things in progress:

90%: Portrait of Manley Pope for ~BohemiaLMM, my love.
10%: Surprise animation for ~BohemiaLMM. (Yes, go ahead Lausy, ponder what it is X3)
05%: HP; Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory. (lineart done)
05%: HP; Remus & Tonks. (lineart done)
85%: HP; Marauders group pic.
25%: HP; Remus, Sirius & James. (Sketch by ~hilarity .. Dunno if I'll finish it.)
50%: HP; Sirius, "Drunk guy passed out on couch". (Lineart by ~kokiri85)
40%: Mythbusters; Adam Savage & Jamie Hyneman. (because they're awesome)
75%: RP; Chris & Adam. (yay, slash!)
30%: Portrait of Robert Sean Leonard, from House MD.
80%: RP; Alastair - Blind Beauty. (yay new chars)
85%: HP; Dan Radcliffe as Harry, gesticulating.

Well... Okay. So, first off, some general thoughts on the newest HP book (spoiler-free):

It was... intense. Quite definitely OMGBRILLIANT. You know. So emotional. And the wonderful thing is that I wasn't spoiled AT ALL. Everything was new to me, which made it just... brilliant. I was spoiled about the ending of OotP, and I'm so happy that didn't happen with this one. Really, just... I was sobbing my way through half of the last 4 chapters, and I don't really often cry during books or stories or movies or things like that. But I definitely did on this one. I didn't just cry, I sobbed, and gasped and... laughed of course, and cheered, and squeed and... Wow.

The story's just so grown up all of a sudden. It's much darker than I expected, even though I knew it was going to be. I would so not call this a book for kids anymore. The first book, yeah, sure, but not this one. And I love that. But it's still got all this fun points in it. And... You get to know so much in this one. Questions are actually answered. And it's brilliant. Just... omg, if you haven't read it, then do.


Allright. Next, some pimpin'. Which I never do usually, unless it's for friends, but this thing deserves pimping. The Shoebox Project. The most bloody brilliant fanfic there is out there. It's written in such an awesome way that it's just a joy to read. Only fic I've bothered paying attention to for this long (almost a year now) and I still get hyperly over-excited at every update. It's wonderful, really. If you're looking for a good HP fic, don't go there. If you're looking for a brilliant HP fic, go there right away. Even if you're not looking. Just go there.

The Shoebox Project, best Marauder's Era fic there is: [link]
GO THERE!!!

And now... I shall go get a tinsy insy bit or sleep.... Or draw, because having that chibi-Inferi on my front page is starting to disturb me.

~Krizzie McFizzlebounce

Okay. Okay. Deep breaths. Deep breaths. No, GODDAMMIT I CAN'T DO IT I'M IN LOVE WITH CAPS LOCK OMG!!

No. I'm not. I'm in love with this book.

I've only read one and a half chapter. During the first chapter, I laughed aloud, I squeed, I bounced my feet ALL the time, I cried, yes, I cried, during the first chapter, I paced, I hyperventilated, I tried taking deep steading breaths and failed.

I am... ecstatic. Times a frillion. Now I need to go continue reading.

...I'll warn you if I put spoilers in my journal, don't worry.

Yes. And it's been nice so far. Mostly. A little bored, a little drowned in my own sweat, but that's part of summer too. Gone swimming, bored myself to death at my cabin...

:bohemialmm:, where are yoooooou? ... Okay, so I know where you are... Goddammit, get your dad's comp working and come online, I miss you and I can't afford to call you! Phonecalls to the other side of the world are expensive. ^^"

Okay. I'm off to a party now, with one of my best friends... Yey I'm legal drinking age, bwaha! (not that I drink much anyway, but, you know...) Aaaand, dad's off at the Roskilde festival till Monday, so I have the apartment all to myself...

And... I have a lot of spare time these days, so I'm actually getting a little work done on drawings that have been waiting to be finished for aaaages...

Love ya all!

Go watch trailer: [link]

Well. Happy Norwegian day of constitution and national day and whatnot! Even if I didn't get to say it until now! I know there's at least one of you people watching me who's Norwegian. (*vinker til Linn i tilfelle du leser dette*) Well. Not counting people I know in RL that is. (*vinker til Line og David*)

Anyway. We had brilliant weather down here in Horten. Extremely sunny all day, a bit wind, but warm enough to wear a sleeveless dress, which I just happened to be doing. And then, right now, the next day, 11:30 in the morning, it hails. It seriously hails. My balcony is seriously half covered in whiteness. The weather here astounds me sometimes.

Well, that's all I guess. I need to go do my homework now. *coffcoff* I told AK I was done when I really wasn't, so I need to hurry up and do it before she finds out. *hurries off to transcribe that stupid interview*

& to all!


ETA: Just thought I'd make a note of what sort of art stuff I have in the works, so you know that I'm not completely dead... Plus a way to remind and nag myself.

For ~BohemiaLMM's birthday (which was like... 4-5 months ago...): A portrait of Manley Pope. 80% (everything done but the hair)

For ~zandan's birthday (which also was ages ago): Some Link & cuccoos slaughternation. 0%

Yaaay! WHEE! Happy birthday to me!! *dances*

It's only noon, and I've already gotten 2500kr (390 US$). And I know I'm getting more! Other than that, I've so far gotten kitchen appliances from my mom. x)

But no cake. But ohwell. I dunno, the day isn't even begun yet. But there's no party planned. Well, there's one planned to the extent that there's gonna be one, and only my 3 best friends are gonna be invited, but that's about it. x)

Hah, well, I'm 18, maybe I should go out and get drunk or something. XD I rather doubt that though. I've always said that when I turn 18, I won't start drinking or smoking, I'll start shopping on Amazon. x)

I may be going to a barbeque parteh later, with *Dipliner... One of my previously mentioned 3 best friends. X3 And then I'll throw a party (though that expression is pushing it a rather large bit) later sometime. We'll see. But for right now, I will watch episodes of "A Bit of Fry and Laurie". Which rocks my socks. Which I got from ~zandan. The episodes, not the socks. X3

Luvv you all!!!

Allright. The only reason I'm writing this journal is to rant and rage. Feel free to ignore. Feel free to sympethize, as well. A bit bad language in the rant here, and far less over-capitalisation than I expected. Far less emoticons and smileys as well.


Allright. So, the day started out well enough. Went to school, had a rather boring Norwegian class. Then I went to the cantina, and bought myself a coke. Everything's okay. Then we have a test in English. That I didn't know about. No, that's not why I'm pissed. It was a damn easy test. We could use a dictionary, and I didn't even need it. Anyway. I go down to the computer lab after I finish the test. Answer all the posts in the rpg, so I don't have to worry any more about that.

Then I go up to the classroom again. And here's the fun part. My wallet's gone. I look for it, ask around if anyone's seen it, a few people help me look for it, we look for it in the cantina, we go to the school office and ask if they've gotten one turned in. Nothing. We search the classroom again. Nothing.

Then we have drawing class. 4 periods of drawing class.  4 periods of drawing class with the teacher I like to call Daughter of Satan. No, actually, I don't, but it's the nicest thing I can think of right now. Anyway. She starts bitching me about not having done my homework, the she starts bitching me about disturbing the class, then she bitches me alot about disctracting others who actually want to work. Fine, I didn't want to work. Guess why? I bloody can't work when she's around. Her voice makes me want to slam my head against a wall. And I can't leave either, because the number of times I've been absent is nearing the point where it means I won't graduate this year. A bloody damn don't want that, now do I?

Anyway. Back to the wallet. I don't have any money for the bus, so I have to walk home. Then I remember; my key is in my wallet. Fuck. Yeah. So I'm locked out. Allright. What was in my wallet: 80 kr (not too much, it can be replaced, but it's enough to make me angry just for that), my bank card, my student id, my buscard, my library card, pictures of my friends, and, yes, my key. This is the point where I can't help myself, and I break down crying. Something I haven't done in months. I sit there, on the stairs, crying. At least no one could see me where I was sitting.

After crying for 10 minutes or so, I don't know, I didn't have a watch, I didn't have my cell phone, so I couldn't call anyone either. Anyway, I went down to Lisa, one of my best friends and my neighbour. I ask her if I can borrow the phone, and she says of course, and why? I start explaining, and at the same time, I also start crying again. I sort of half cry for 10 more minutes, then I call dad and ask him to come home and unlock the door for me, and he says he'll come as soon as he can. I cry half cry for 10 more minutes after that, then 10 minutes after that, dad gets home, I can get in, and I go to my room, because naturally, I'm in a shitty mood. So, I cry some more.

Now I've got a headache because I've been crying so much. Dad's out changing the lock, because, after all, my key was in my wallet, and so was my name. Not exactly safe. At least now ~BohemiaLMM is logged on, and I'm talking with her, so she's managing to cheer me up. After she leaves for school I'll probably either go to sleep off my headache, or play some World of Warcraft. Even though I should be studying.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about that. As if this wasn't enough, here's some more for you. My term exam in drawing is tomorrow, and I haven't prepared a shit yet, so I need to go do that. I got a mark for not turning in a Norwegian essay today. I failed on an assignment because I'd forgotten it at home. Yes, evil of teacher of doom was the one that failed me. Then, while I was walking home, two parts of my tooth fell out. This is not news to me; it has happened before. But is still not any less worrying, and I really need to go to the dentist soon.

Right. I think I'm done.

What can I say? I'm bored. And I took this quiz from ~BohemiaLMM.
Otherwise happy. ^^

Happy New Year from Norway everybody!!!

It is, as I'm writing this, 01:20 in the morning, 1st of January, 2005 here in Norway!

Hope you all have a wonderful time!

Merry Christmas everybody!

I finally got the time to post a new journal. I've been busy, away or simply too tired.

So, did any of you get any good stuff? Did you eat lots of yummy food? Were you with your family or someone close? Generally, did you have a good time?

I've spent the last 3 days at 3 different places, and I've had a great time, pretty much all the time.

Ooh, and I know I might be rushing a bit ahead, but considering I don't update my journal very often, I figured I'd say it now. The one that catches the 4000th pageview (or is closest) gets a request.

*hugs and kisses* Again, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

   ~Krissy

Bush won. The end is nigh.
