Today...

has been a great day and I just found out that I am going to become auntie Silvara in april. It just makes me feel happy at the same times as old. But I hope people don't take this as permission to badger me about finding someone and settle down and have some kids with. While I may be fond of my friends and families babies and kids, I know for a fact that I am not mommymaterial. Nope I am auntiematerial and now I finally have a legal reason to call myself that. x) I know that I will spoil… Continue

Because I felt like posting this...

You all WISH you had a face as ugly as mine so you could have something to scream at when you looked in the mirror >.> I'm so going to get slapped for that. Continue

Today the world hates me...

And I hate it back so we are pretty even on that point. Nothing works with me today at work it all is against me. I am thinking about hiding under my desk and have a patetic crying fit. Continue

not what I ever wanted

Tomorrow's update will not happen. I'm really sorry. I'm in one of those times where I feel like I'm swimming in a very deep, very wave filled ocean and my head keeps going under water. It's hard when you try to do the right thing and it never is, you know? When all the guns are pointed at you at once, there don't seem to be many options. I'll be back soon. Barb Continue

Comfort cooking ?

Hello everyone ! I just cooked a cake with hazelnuts and apples, and it smells sooo good ! I don't know about you, but I have a hand with cakes, and I think cooking them is a great comfort when I'm lonely or a bit depressed. My great pleasure is when there is someone to eat them, because, even if I like to eat what I cook, I'm not cake-addict, if you see what I mean. I like cakes, but I don't actually love them. My mother does. And when she needs comfort, she likes to eat cakes. So… Continue

Copyright permission

I wanted to add a couple of songs to the Xyliacs jukebox but noticed that you needed copyright permission. I was thinking of adding All About Loving You by Bon Jovi and These Dreams by Heart. Well, I sought out the bands' websites to see if there was a contact us button. But there was nothing there and, for Heart, you have to pay to get in touch with anybody. It felt a lot easier to get hold of someone in book publishing. Then again, I combined the Internet with traditional ways.… Continue

A Meme!

I. RANDOM FACTS 1. Do you remember your first kiss? No...actually I don`t. Is that bad? It`s not because I`ve had so damn many or anything. More because there are a few occasions I would not count. 2. What book was the last you read? 1984 by George Orwell. Its gonna stick for a while. 3. What song are you listening to now and why? Merchant of Death – Iron Man Soundtrack. Because I’m a cool geek. 4. Last CD(s) you bought/got Kamelot - Ghost Opera, and… Continue

Updated list of comics I read

Xylia (yeah, I know lol SHHHHHHHHH!!!), Ctrl Alt Del, Inverloch (Completed, but still fun to re-read over and over and over and over and over and over like a good book :P), War of W… Continue

Grandmothers

After a hard "survival week" at my grandmother's, I had those views : There are two kind of grandmothers the nice ones and the dragon-like ones. Both make you eat too much, but this is the only similarity. The nice ones are cheerful, they know perfectly what you like or hate, they cook wonderful things, they have many things to teach, they take care of you when you are young, and listen to you when you grow up, they never judge you for your tastes or choices, you see them gladly. The dragon-li… Continue

Comfort food!

Well after the days horror I decided to give myself a treat for not running for the hills after taking a first look in to the paperbin with the tobako in it. When i was at the pharmacy at the mall after work I went to the sushiresturant and I bought my self some sushi for dinner so now I am bit happier. Not much mind you but enough to make it through the rest of the evening.. *purring* mmm sushi good. Continue

Sometimes I hate the people at my workplace.

Today I think I made someone mad because I told the boss the truth about who throws disgusting tobaco(is this the right translating, swedes help. What is the english word for snus?) in the paperbin. The paperbin in the library that I have to go through when it's time to throw the paper in it in the paperrecycling bin at the recylingplace at the school. Belive me I almost vomited twice because I found that disgusting stuff among the papers. Ick!!!! So he really doesn't have anything to be mad abo… Continue

No Monday is back and I am pretty sure it's stalking me.

Or maybe not, whatever. It's back and it brought the normal morningzombie routine and whishes for another sunday instead of monday. Well at least this monday seems to be a calm one, no bigger evils on the horizone yet. I am still unsure if I should have left my bed or perhaps relocate to under the bed instead of going to work this morning. Read Barbs update and I totally fangirled over Deimos even if Xylias dad is my favorite bad guy in this comics. Since I am babbling about reading, I myself i… Continue

scrapes of frost on the glasses Cold so cold...mmmm hot coffee

Argh! When I got to work today I found out that they still wasn't finished with changing the windows in the library. So now it's freezing cold there and I can't be there because I would only get in the way. So now I am freezing and I am bored, and not the good kind of bored but the slowly mind killing kind of bored. At least it's friday so I don't have to go to work tomorrow. :) Thinking of skipping the last hour or so at work today, which is odd for me, I never skip work due to my conscience th… Continue

I don't have a snappy titel this time.

So today has been a good day, during one of my break I played around on paint and made some userpics to my Live journal which was rather fun. Plus that I changed my userpic here on Xyliacs. But now I have been booted from my library since they are changing the windows in there. T__T They better be carefull around my precious books. >:( But since I have been booted from the library I have nothing to do so I am headed for boredomville once more so who knows what I might do now. XD Continue

Autumn colds and junk

Beh. I have a consarned Fall cold. Hate them things. Where it feels like you've been in a smoky room BUT YOU HAVEN'T? I'm grumpy. And slow. And tired. Really useful traits. ^_^ In other Barbnews: I have to call a lawyer. My ex's lawyer. I'm now in Latin terms what is known as 'Pro se' a fancy way of saying 'too poor for a lawyer'. After shelling out over a grand to this attorney's office, with nothing to show for it, I now find myself cast into the den of the Wolves of Law. Whatever. At… Continue

Ouchies and I bleeping hate mondaymornings!

Yes my hatred for this cursed day and specially its morning hours has returned from the dead to devour every perky mondayloving fool that steps in to my path. Well it started with that I was a bit behind on my morning rutines but not so much that I missed the bus or anything just enough to make me stressed and when I am stressed I am irritational and cranky. Not a fun combo people so I'm rather happy I am single and live alone except for the cat. But lets continue on with my rant. Well as I stre… Continue

Barb was born in the wrong decade...

I've always said that. My taste in music and movies has always skewed to much older times. And then there's movie stars. Brad Pitt? Uh, no, honey. As far as I'm concerned, they just don't make 'em like they used to...(there is one exception here in my list of Classic Hunks of the Past, and he's only here because he's harkening to someone else!) After I brought up the Christopher Lee thing on another thread it got me thinking about actors, and I realized that all of my favorite actors are eithe… Continue
