Big update!

[roguem]

I found this in magikalcrab 's LJ and just had to share it with you guys.
Friendship isn't partying with a group of people to get drunk or chatting with him/her once a week, it's exactly the opposite. Friends make sure you get home safely and they help you when you need it, no matter the scenario. They don't care about what clothes you wear or what you look like, and they don't last for a day. Real friends are more interested in what direction your life is headed rather than your popularity. They care about what you have to say and how you feel, and once you meet this person you'll know it without having to think twice.

Holiday Love Meme (Secret Santa Style!) Okay, so I wasn't really going to do this, but I cracked... please go?

I've been thinking a lot about LOTR lately, and how I miss it, and then I saw a post in cantusnoctum's journal about the very same thing. Am thinking I'll have to buy the 'Ringers: Lord of the Fans' DVD just to get some kind of new feeling about the whole thing. It's been a good while since I've seen the movies too, so am thinking I'll have to have a look at them while I'm home this christmas.
Am thinking they all should have a reunion and make a film together again, doesn't have to be LOTR related, I just want to see them all on screen together again. I still think Billy Boyd should play Driveshaft's managar in "Lost", come on! Who's with me on that one?

Where's Billy Boyd gone anyway? Feel like I haven't seen him in ages.
*runs and posts some billy icons*
I made them ages ago, just haven't posted them yet, they're up now in my Icon journal mukkianglia . Billy  icons HERE.

Some LOTR related comic strips:
  

  

  

  

  

That reminds me, I saw "Everything is Illuminated" 2(!) weeks ago. It was a cute movie, but I thought that Alexander and the dog stole the show. Elijah's character was very calm and didn't really do much. Elijah did a good job, as always, but for me it lacked a little something. Still, it was very sweet and endearing.
Though their representation og helpfulness in the Ukraine compared to USA was totally wrong. My experiance traveling in Poland has taught me that people will bend over backwards to help you, while here in Europe people will barely look at eachother.
It just bugs me when people in Easter Europe are presented as angry and resentful and Americans and Western Europeans are presented as happy-go-lucky people...
I ramble, go see the film, don't listen to me.

I saw "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" yesterday with Sol, JC and his boyfriend Kenneth. It was a cute film, but I'm not going all crazy over it. Did however like it much more than the last Harry Potter film. The youngest girl in the film, Lucy, was such a charmer, so cute. And the oldest boy, Peter, made me wish I was 16 again... *nuff said*
Tilda Swinton was very good as well and I loved her colour-changing-dress, except for the top part, there was something weird going on there.
The CGI was a bit disappointing, the beavers were good. I think the wolf CGI was put over dogs or something... looked good sometimes, and very bad other times. I wasn't impressed by the work on Aslan either, but I seem to be the only one. The fox looked like he'd escaped from the 'Shrek' movies.
It was an enjoyable film, and I can see it turning into a christmas movie for me, time will tell.
After the film we went to JC and Sol's place, pigged out on Pizza and crisps, talked and watched some telly. Was very nice. Suddenly it was half past twelve and I figured that since it took at least 20 minutes to get back to my place I should get going. So I go out, and start walking the wrong way... turn around find out I'm on the right path, get confused and end up hailing a cab and paying 7 pounds to get home, no biggie, it was worth it. :)
It is sad however that I've been at their place 4-5 times now and still haven't gotten the way back to my place figured out yet. Hehe, anyways, had loads of fun.

Think that's it for now. I wanna thank everybody who helped me find info for my essay. I've finished it and all your info helped a lot! *huggles you all*
Now I've started my production essay... 4000 words about nothing. ;P
Got 277 words so far, so that's a start, have gotten Firefly a mention in there so far... with regards to inspiration. Will try to include some of my other favourites, just so I can write a bit about stuff I actually know. ;)

Oh! I almost forgot! Remember that I mentioned that Take That are getting back together? I also posted some of their old music HERE if you want to have a listen.
Anyways, they're going on tour, and I made an off hand remark about it when I was at JC and Sol's yesterday. Suddenly Sol's face lights up and she says 'it would be fun to go', I say it would be fun to just put that 'childhood' dream to rest. I remember being so pissed when my parents wouldn't let me go to Sweden for their last concert... seing as I was about 13 at the time I understand them now. Anyways, somehow Sol and I agree we're going to their concert at Wembley Arena in may! Then I see JC thinking a bit and he mentions he has time off, so we just look at him a bit, and now he's coming too! AH! So much fun! I've never been to a 'real' concert. Just Hit Awards 1999 in Oslo. I feel like a kid again, seriously. I'm still waiting till we book the tickets before I get all fired up, but just the thought is good for now. It's not just the concert, but the fact that both JC and Sol wants to join me! Am very happy.

Ok, I'll have finish now, have to write a little more, and pack. I'm going home in 4 days!!!
Have a nice one people!

I can't agree with that statement more.

Eeehehehehe! Those comics were quite funny, indeed. *grins*

Narnia! Tim downloaded the video game just so we could watch the movie clips, and I must say, from what I saw, I agree with you: the CGI could have used some work, definitely. But it still looks amazing, and I very much look forward to seeing it. Plus, the boy who plays Peter is 18, so he's legal. I don't feel quite so dirty thinking he's rather cute now.

So, you're going to see Take That? *grins* Make sure to have an extra good time for me. Hehe!

Good luck with your essay, I'm sure you'll have no problem getting it done! And I hope packing goes well, too. I hate packing! I always manage to forget something.

I really liked that quote. I can definetly relate to that. ;)

I love those comics, have some more I'll have to share with you guys eventually. :)

I know he's 18, but still. Hehe.

Try, the tickets are sold out, but am hitting Ebay.

Thank you. :D

We just HAVE to have a LOTR marathon during Christmas. It's what we've been waiting for all year, right??
I'm so with you on that Billy should play Driveshaft's manager. He'd be great at it:-D
Really hope you get tickets for the Take That concert. As the big fan you are, you better get in line as fast as you can:-D
See ya in 6 days!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

True.
I think so.
Working on it, easier said than done.

-Exactly! Friendship is not inviting your friends to the party in the first place. Letting them stay home in their own safe inviroment where your drunkeness can't bother them..

Friends make sure you get home safely and they help you when you need it, no matter the scenario.

-Aww.. yeah. I always point in the right direction and watch them until they're out of my sight. Then I wait til they call and tell me they've gotten home safly. I know that is comforting for them.

Real friends are more interested in what direction your life is headed rather than your popularity.

-You're gonna be famous, that's all that counts!

They care about what you have to say and how you feel

No! Don't cry when I speak to you! How dare you!! No, it's not your turn to speak..you had your go 3 hours ago. It's my turn now!


Aww.. Roguem..we are a match made in friendship heaven!

WHERE IS BILLY BOYD?!? I miss him so. ohhhh man that would totally rock if he was on Lost!!! *squee*

I really miss all the interviews and behind-the-scenes stuff from LOTR. The actors were just so funny and such good friends! Like the pranks and stuff. sigh. Good times!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

I know he was working on a movie, but haven't heard anything else.

I miss it tooooooo!

[magikalcrab.livejournal.com]

I can't wait for Narnia to start here. Am excited!


Mmmmmmmmmm Billy. I love Billy. Speaking of him ...

Thats me with gimlisgloin with Mr. Boyd. *grins*

I loff Elijah. He's adorable. And he did an awesome job in Sin City.

And I'm done. *wanders off*

[roguem.livejournal.com]

That's such a cool picture! Where's it from?
I met him about 3 years ago at a con in London, such a sweet guy. :D

Elijah rocked in Sin City, can't wait for the special edition DVD. :D

[magikalcrab.livejournal.com]

That was from ORC this year. I made a last minute decision at the end of December that I wanted to go - which gave me 2 weeks to organise plane tickets, convention tickets and everything else. Thankfully, whimsicalmusing let me mooch off her, otherwise I'd never have been able to afford it.

He's really nice. I actually had 2 pics taken with him - that one, and another with another friend of mine (they both insisited that I share, because they're both silly) and for the second one, Billy looked at me with this little "didn't I just see you" kinda look. *blushes*

There's a special edition of Sin City? *does happy dance* I only watched if for the first time yesterday, because it didn't play at the movies here for that long. *pouts* But it's awesome!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's so cool!
I just remember that while we were taking the picture all I could think was 'Billy Boyd' is touching me! He's touching me!' Hehe, I was in total fangirl mode.

The special edition of Sin City is released today. :)

[roguem.livejournal.com]

It's a very endearing film.

Not nosey at all. :)
I have many favourite films... but my top list is (In no particular order): LOTR, X-Men, X2, The Boondock Saints & Serenity.

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

Holiday Love Meme has used allowed numbers of comments, so I'll write it here:

My first impression was: she's seems to be nice! And I was right, I know already you are nice, and sweet, and what's more - you have something in common with my country :D

PS. I'm too lazy to log out LOL.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Awwww.
*Feels loved*
The same to you.

Hehe, no problem. ;)
