Thinking about my life
Dec. 9th, 2005 05:20 pmEver since I was discharged from the Army I've obviously a lot of time on my hands, some that I've used wisely (transcribing my poems, going to the gym, dating etc.), some... not so much (spending too much time on-line, probably).
That time has also been used to what I want to do with my life... and I've decided that either this year (or next depending on what happens during the coming months) to study English lit and probably "regular lit" as well at University... it took me a while to realize that this is what I want to do, because I've been so indecisive the past two years (the army really fucks you up) and that my true passion in writing (fiction, non-fiction and poetry) studying Lit is the best for me.
Where and when is still to be decided.
How? My parents has the foresight to open up a fund for me to use for studying, plus the money the army is supposed to hand over for school and stuff.
I feel good writing this down for almost all to see.

Going to see HP:GoF tonight, with Tut and Shimrit.
That's it, because seriously the only good thing about those movies is Alan Rickman *drool*, God that man has a sexy voice...
Plus anyone whose known me for long enough knows... Severus Snape rocks and Harry Potter is a snot nosed little brat.
And Hermione and Ginny are awesome female characters... is it just me, or does JK Rowling have a thing for the tortured male/savior female dynamic?

I just gave my father a manicure.
He came in to the living room, where I was happily surfing and commenting where out of blue he says:
"Melody, file my nails", I give him a "what..." look, but concede, it's very difficult to say no to daddy.
So I sit next to him, begin filing and say "You should really use some moisturizer"
He says "Okay"
Me: "Seriously?"
No answer, once I'm done filing his nails, I ask, "Would you like some nail hardener?"
"Why?" he asks
"To make your nails look healthier and actually be healthier"
"Okay" he replied and I put on the hardener.
I claim success and manicure ending.
He asks "Aren't you going to get the moisturizing cream?"
"You want it?" I ask amazed.
"Yes"
And so I get my Dove and hand it to him.
"No," he says "the whole point os for someone else to massage it in, somebody you love"
"And I'm the only one who loves you?" I ask sceptically.
"Exactly"
I felt squishy, I'm a real Daddy's Girl and am so proud of him... the man has nail polish on his finger nails... he's 61 years old.
This is just a little something I felt I needed to share, now I'm being screamed at to join Shabbat (friday night) dinner.

Yeah! A Real Baby!
Dec. 1st, 2005 08:25 pmI'm proud to announce that my big sister gave birth to a baby girl, just over an hour ago.
She weighs 3.280 kg and mother and baby are doing just fine.
As some of you know my sister lives over seas (in the states) and I will not see her for another three months at least, if I get permission I might post pictures here.
Other than that, I'm an aunt for the fourth time to a first time niece.
I think other than my mother, nobody can be happier than me... the parents obviously don't count :)

A day in the life....
Dec. 1st, 2005 04:18 pmIf you want to read about my date with Tut ( it's right here )
If you want to hear about my less than successful delivery trip for my father ( go there )
All in all, a pretty good twenty four hours... and I haven't done a single quiz or meme is two days.
I'm proud of myself.

"Corpse Bride" and car
Nov. 27th, 2005 01:17 amJust came back from seeing "Corpse Bride"
Awesome!!! Tim Burton does it again.
But I dented the car when I parked in the cinema's parking lot... fucking shit.
I'll deal with it tomorrow... I'm going to bed.
(update)I don't have to pay my parents back for the car insurance, thank god. Minimin wage does NOT cover car costs.

Argh!! *cough*
Nov. 25th, 2005 04:20 pmIn stead of getting better, ( I seem to be getting, err... something else? )
(no subject)
Nov. 23rd, 2005 08:51 amSo I spent the past two days throwing up and feeling shitty in general, I hate having stomach flue. Add to that, that my entire house hold was sick as well!
Remember when I said my sister and her family (husband two kids) came for a visit? Well it was like a fucking slaughter house! Monday night, I got sick, thought it was food poisoning... didn't stop until four-fucking-a.m. Which was when my Mother, my brother in law and my four year old nephew started with the sickness as well.
We're all feeling better now, just exhausted and empty (I could barely eat breakfast), but at least now I can walk, talk (without groaning) and sit in front of a screen without feeling dizzy.
