If I am able to lose the weight I want I have promised myself I will get a rather large one I want down my side.

I don't want to get it if I am not in shape.

And I got lost while walking. Well, basically, I knew perfectly well where I was, but I couldn't find the building I was looking for and which I had been searching for over half an hour.

I got lost in Bucharest twice before - on the subway and while looking for a post office and when I ended up to some part of Bucharest I'd never been to. Almost got to the fields outside town!

Oh cool! What can you do with that? I'm imagining like an FBI badge. In 30 days, I'm going to start calling you Special Agent Marina. You should get one of those wallets for it and flash it before you start doing your octilingual thing.

I can translate for notaries (contracts, diplomas, any legal paper) and interpret whatever at the Ministry of Justice, Courts of Law, City Halls, like trials, weddings, divorces etc. Of course I won't be doing that for a while, I don't have the expertise yet, but if they summon you you're pretty much obliged to go. So fingers crossed I don't end up intepreting trials in the near future.

I got a first for my scriptwriting monologue assignment. I'm really surprised! I worked so hard on it and when I first handed it in I thought it was worth a first but since then I'd convinced myself I'd only scrape a 2.2. I'm pleased but really confused! It doesn't seem anywhere near the quality of the story I only got a 2.1 for.

Creative writing degrees: bullshit.

But yay!

Exactly. Neville had nowhere to go but up, and I'm happy he did. It'd be kinda shitty to start with such a degrading role, and then never work again because it's no longer cute. Now I think he'll be able to find work again. Good for him.

Hermione pretty much had nothing else to do but fill out, but not too much, cuz then she'd be over-sexualized in a pretty distracting way for the final movie. So... yeah, things went just fine. So now they're on the same level, and if I can't have her, I'd like it if he they ended up together. That'd be more of a story of hope than any of the movies.

That would be perfect! How do we go about making two human adults fall in love with each other? There must be a romantic comedy about this. We need to find it, study it, replicate it. Minus the bullshit ending where the characters playing us see the error in their ways and stop manipulating others for their entertainment.

You guys know it's a book for children. Right?

Life and love are not children's books. It ain't always easy (or even pretty) creating the perfect ending. It's not just thinking of plot twists and writing shit down. It requires cunning, manipulation, forcing "chance" meetings, spiking drinks with extacy, and perhaps even murder (but jes can handle that part).

Got some chores I have been putting off for a while done today.

Gabriel had a half day due to finals, and got a bug and cleaned the heck out of his room, rearranged it and scrubbed all the walls to prep for painting them. Put then he hung all his posters, even though I said not to so we could paint tomorrow.

I think Lily might have a tree nut allergy and I am freaked out about it.

several months ago my good friend, with whom she is good friends withs daughter, switched to using coconut oil for all her cooking.

Every time Lily has been over in the past several months, and eaten there, she has tossed and turned all night, threw up in the morning and had a fever and complained of pain all day the next day. But then it goes away and no one else gets sick at all.

After brainstorming with my friend we realised that is the only thing that is different from what she eats at home regularly, the coconut. I looked it up and sleep disturbances, vomiting, fever, all of these are symptoms of a tree nut allergy (which coconut classify's as). Other symptoms are also anaphylactic shock, et cetera. (she hasn't had that symptom) I don't want her to be allergic to something with that bad of a possible symptom.

Making her an appointment.

What does "in quarter time" mean? Like in "She drifted towards me, strips of wet light shining from her skin and I saw her every movement in quarter time."

I'm thinking it means slowed down. Either that, or it's a musical reference, as it he saw her moving with quarter time tempo. Every movement she makes falls on a quarter beat. Does that make sense? That's all I can think of.

I used to get bored at work and tally people. Like this one dumb lady who used to work here. I tallied one day how many times she went to the bathroom and it was 21 times. Then i spent the day tallying how many times people said "like" and it was a lot.

I hear lot of "Don'tcha know?" and "For sure." from my friend from Minnesota. She doesn't have too much of an accent, but every now and then with sayings like that it comes out really strong and is funny.

Another friend of mine used to severely overuse the word "Frankly". Never once, as "Frankly my Dear, I don't give a damn." which is a shame.

This book came in the mail today:

:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Controversy_(book)

I had to look it up online to figure out who sent it out. Okay, I spent five minutes flipping through it, but after five minutes it wasn't obvious from what it said on the back, in the copyright, in the first part of the introduction, not even the email adress 'for more information" held a clue in it's name.

These things annoy me so badly. That sort of deception is purposeful (though one of the big themes of the book at first glance seems to be between truth and deception, what the spiritual source of each is) yet after five minutes where and who the book came from was no obvious, as it should have been. There are so many people (I know some of them!) who won't even attempt to think critically at all to question where this sort of thing came from, just delve right in and be awed by things.

Write a book with a theme of truth and deception (claiming to have the answers) and then hide and omit the source and writer as much as possible.

I realize now why shitty movies are so popular. After a long day of doing speed-dating-like interviews with 20 different companies, trying to act interested/interesting, selling myself, and generally putting on an act of positivity, all I wanna do is watch a Nicholas Cage flick. Knowing, specifically.

Oh, and don't. I mean, it introduces you to some interesting stuff we've learned, like wave-particle theory, but it usually goes off on these ridiculous, ill-informed blatherings about metaphysics. Then I found out it was made by some spiritualist group.
