Inspiration & 100 things

After reading 100 Things o'er on Sophia's Journal I feel inspired to take up the gauntlet and give the 100 things a go. Basically you gather a list of 100 things you care for or love (click the link to the aforementioned blog for a better example). Now that I've finally finished my exams for semester 1 I can update more! (Weak excuse is weak but true...) Especially since I have a spare period coming semester 2 :3 Anyways, I'll give updating Mondays & Fridays a go! But since I've decided this today, the first installment will be- if you can guess- today. So, allons-y! (Ten points to Gryffindor if you get my reference- other then the fact that I live in Canada and we also speak French...)...

1. My family (they drive me ridculously bonkers during holidays, but without them as a support system I would have fallen to pieces loooong ago)
2. My relationship with my parents (I feel this is different from my family on a whole, and I'm really thankful that I'm actually friends with my mum & dad)
3. My teachers, the good ones
4. A good book (this past Saturday I bought a Kobo -an eReader- and am loving the 100 pre-installed books it comes with! Just finished some hot lashings of Grimm's faery tales~)
5. My iPhone (hey, this is my list and I'll get as superficial as I like :3)
6. The BBC. I'm a bit obsessed with the BBC News app for the iPhone...
7. Inspiring/amazing people- like Stephen Fry, he makes me want to be informed and articulate
8. Doctor Who (a recent post on one of my favourite blogger's site was about the show, and I must say, DW- not from Arthur- has been a constant love in my life. Make of that what you will)
9. Nintendo. I have a DSiXL and a Wii.
10. German. History (more then just WWI & WWII happened), Language, Culture, Food (I freaking love Spätzle )

So, after bombarding you with text I shall take my leave. Till Friday!

First post & Chrimble~!

So, first post! Instead of doing a huge intro post I think I'll just do a Christmas (or chrimble as we say in my fam) want post. I highly doubt I'm going to get all of these things (though I am angling to get a few!) but it would nice to be able to look back at the things I wanted when I was 17. So mini, intro then pictures (who reads text anymore? Though I kind of hope you do and I'm not just rambling on to no one...but pictures are good). My birthday is December 4th (making me 17 for those who missed it skimming) and I absolutely love snow. I also live in Canada. Make of that what you will. My parents are from England ergo I was raised in an English fashion (the cause of much confusion and irritation when I was younger and insisted on the 'proper' pronunciation of things...). I have a small Shetland Sheepdog (Amber, she's a sweetheart) and a love for pugs! I also love Persian cats :3 I'm finishing grade 12 and gearing up for Uni, I drink copious (and I mean copious) amounts of tea. Nice to meet you! Now, a picture! *gasp*

1. "Suedette Wedge Dress Shoes" From FF21. I love shoes... especially oxfords, black wedges, lace ups & tanned leather ones.

2. "Leatherette Oxford Bootie" Also from FF21. As aforementioned, I love shoes. However, I hate kitten heels...

3. The Mighty Boosh: Seasons 1- Seasons 3 Oh Chapters, you will quite possibly the reason for my downfall. I absolutely love this show and can recite all the songs by heart! I love Naboo~~~

4. Qi: The Book Of General Ignorance Once again, Chapters! I'm a huge Stephen Fry fan and he hosts this show (simply called Qi- 'quite interesting' I believe- no pun intended) and they have a round where they expose general ignorance. If you click the link they have examples.

5. Henry VIII Disappearing Wives Mug My friends and I make a lot of jokes with King Henry as the punchline. Yeah, you know you're cool when the funny in your joke rides on people knowing the historical facts surrounding a monarch. Yeah... did I mention that the portraits of his wives disapear when the mug gets hot? Should I be worried that it pleases me?

6. Doctor Who Disappearing TARDIS Mug IMMA HUGE DOCTOR WHO FAN END OF STORY. FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS WHEN I VISITED ENGLAND THIS PAST SUMMER WAS BUYING DALEK WRAPPING PAPER AND DWM (Doctor Who Magazine).

7. Sonic Screwdriver Wii Remote Once again, Doctor Who. I heard the game was terrible and it doesn't look like it's going to be released in Canada (or anywhere outside of the UK in fact). They also have a Sonic Screwdriver Stylus for the DS. I kind of need this in my life.

Well, that's it for now. What do you want for Chrimble/Hanukkah /Kwanzaa / Holiday?
