☠THE TOMBSTONE MEME

because morbid is fun, you know how it is >o

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 10:07:00 GMT

stolen from Otter!

You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you *should* already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out :)

1. First Name: Lieke, surprise surprise~

2. Age: 17. I'm rather sick of being 17, since everyone is all driving around and getting into 18+ clubs without any trouble, and I'm left hitching rides and pretending I'm older :(

3. Location: Breda, in the south of the Netherlands. It's an okay city, around 200000 people I believe. We've got a proud history of being awesome and stealing silver from the Spanish and building forts and shit!

4. Occupation: Shoe-salesperson :( Currently looking for another job.

5. Partner?: Nope! Breda is not very cool when it comes to picking up chicks, there's only one gay bar :(

6. Kids: Teehee silly question.

7. Brothers/Sisters: My dad seriously went at it: I've got 4 siblings, 2 from my mom, 2 from my dad's first wife. Though I don't see the oldest, Patrick (36), I do see the youngest, Roy (34), and we get along great. He's an artist/cleaning person and he's got a fantastic sense of humour (this includes practical jokes; even when he's mad he's funny. He once put polyurethane in someone's car. And not a little, either.), so every time he comes over (these days with his equally cool girlfriend, with whom he should get kids asap) it's awesome.

Then there's my full brother Joep, who's 26 now. We share a lot of interests, love anime and manga, the same kind of music, etc. etc.. We used to fight a lot, but we really mellowed out. He's a really cool guy, véry laid-back, though sometimes he thinks he knows a little more than he actually does.

And then there's my sister, Nelleke, who's 15. We've really grown a lot closer over the last few years, since the three years we're apart sort of got in the way before (I wasn't adult enough to let it go, she was too young to understand and just bit back-- we fought a lot). We're not as much alike as me and Joep, since she's much more introverted, but at least we've got the same sense of humour!

8. Pets: 2 cats (Bowie and Charlie, the first small and a bit skittish, the second huge, playful, and an enormous lazybutt; they are both orange), a bunch of chickens, some doves, and fish in the pond :D

9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
Trying to find a good address to au pair at; going through the whole 'graduation' process of going to parties and seeing people I might never see again; uhhh there should be a third here, but all I do these days is laze around.

10. Parents: My mom and dad, Fransje and Henry. My mom's a midwife who's worked insanely hard and still does so. She's amazing at her job, has done it for 25 years already, and basically all women with children in Breda know who she is. She wasn't around much when I was little, because she worked so much, which I sometimes regret when I look at my friends who are really close to their mothers. But it's alright, she's a great mom. She doesn't like to be in the spotlight, she just wants to do her job and be with her family. She's so naive it's funny sometimes, not getting the more subtle jokes and such things.

My dad raised us, basically, while my mom was at work. He quit his job in Rotterdam when I was born (he used to work in the Z, which means taking care of 'mentally challenged' people, such as people with the Down syndrome), so he could take care of me and my brother, and later my sister as well, without having to get a babysitter all the time. He tries to keep up with the times, even though he's 60, and does a pretty admirable job of it. But he's always had problems with his health, and the last few years it's been getting worse. His memory isn't what it used to be, his back gets worse, you know, such things. He gets cranky because of that, I think, and at such times you really notice he's not the youngest in the bunch. He's very protective of his daughters, which is sweet, but sometimes it gets really annoying. If my mom wasn't there to sush it a bit, I wouldn't be allowed to go a kilometre from home at 12 in the night-- and my neighbourhood consists of old people and young people with kids. But he's a good guy when he's in a good mood-- you just gotta know when he is and not speak up when he isn't :'D

that was longer than expected.

11. Who are some of your closest friends? Eva, Camille and Yorna, I'd say; I've known them since I was 11, though we weren't friends for all those years. But still, I'd say 5 years is pretty long. I wouldn't want to leave out my online friends, though, some of which I've grown really close to over the years; Tsu, Victor, Matty, Otter, Pasket, Matt, Ali.... well, I'm a pretty lucky Lieke :3

Leave a comment and I will:
1) tell you why I friended you,
2) associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc.,
3) tell you something I like about you,
4) tell you a memory I have of you,
5) ask something I've always wanted to know about you,
6) tell you my favorite user pic of yours,
7) in return, you may, if you want, post this in your LJ

Stolen from everyone!

God, it's good to be free. No guilt when I sneak onto the computer or into town! I can do everything! I'm going to lunch with my mom today, on a Wednesday! This is awesome.

TSU remind me to ask you some stuff, I know I'll forget. And yes, I will remember if you say 'stuff'.

Meme!

What sort of character would you like to see me play? It can be a stereotype, it can be a general description, OR you can choose a specific name (I'd like to see you play _____). Then, tell me why!

So that's week 1 over. 4 more exams to go and I'm done. I'm insecure about Latin and Maths, but the rest went fine. The only thing I'm loathing, now, is Philosophy. And 1 out of 4 isn't so bad, is it?

So how're you?

Thu, 15 May 2008 12:53:36 GMT

Kut. Ik heb langer dan een maand verpest met het praten met deze mensen, en nou kunnen ze niet 2 weken minder doen omdat ze dan nog moeten werken? Jezus christus wat een onzin.

In ieder geval, zal wel weer opnieuw moeten gaan zoeken voor een au-pair familie. Fuck, helemaal overnieuw. En het zag er net allemaal goed uit, leuke mensen, in fucking Rome, geen gezeik, maar ze wilden dat ik bleeft tot 1 augustus, en dat ging er bij mij niet in omdat ik dan maar 2.5 week zou hebben om naar Amerika te gaan. Hoe lang ben ik daar al niet voor aan het sparen en plannen? Fuck.

Daar gaan we weer. En die andere klotefamilie is opeens opgehouden met antwoorden, stelletje onbeschofte klootzakken. Het was ook allemaal te perfect.

Iemand iets leuks te vertellen? Iemand die dit kan lezen?

EDIT: SORRY for worrying anyone, ahah you guise. I was just upset because I'd put a lot of work into negotiations with this family I might be au pairing at, like mónths, and now they weren't willing to overlook 2 weeks that I really couldn't stay. They wanted me to stay until August the first, 2009, but I'd only have 3 or 2 weeks left for my trip to the US. So fuck them, if they can't overlook 2 weeks on nearly a year, it's probably better I don't go there anyway.

Name a character that you know I write or have written, and I'll tell you:

a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
e. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.

So in an hour, I'll be talking to a potential host family where I could be an au pair. The man is Dutch, the woman is Italian, they have three kids (1, 4, 6 years old), live 6 km from the centre of Rome, and seem really pretty damn nice. So wish me luck, I'll be so happy if I can nail this one ♥

We've been working insanely hard on the music presentation for this Tuesday. It's insane, because we've only had a few months of class in this year. First our teacher was gone because a girl had reported him for sleeping with her; she was 15 or something, and had gotten jealous when he said that they couldn't see each other again. Needless to say, he couldn't work here anymore. Then our new teacher flunked out after a few weeks because he was too stressed, and then... we didn't have anyone for months and months, until we got this tiny Croatian woman who really didn't dare to say anything if people weren't doing well. And then our 2nd teacher came back and we finally did stuff, but overall we've had less than a month to do an entire show. Off of which our entire grade this year will be based, by the way, because we didn't have the time for tests or oral exams :'D

RP-ing Meme! Because really, I have nothing better to do.

Part 1: Statistics.

1a) Do you roleplay at all?
. . .

1b) If your answer is no, have you ever thought about it before?
You're kind of bad at thinking up questions huh :(

2) How long have you been roleplaying?
About a year and a half, I'd say? More if you count the self-insert rp'ing I did with my ex on msn... and I really really don't.

3) What types of roleplaying have you been in before?
I guess I'd count the msn stuff for that! And then.. all of it on lj. I did one D&D session, and that's it.

4) How many roleplays are you currently involved in?
Two I guess :o

Part 2: Your characters and you.

1) Name the characters you roleplay (past or present, doesn't matter).
thar.

2) What do you think made you choose those characters?
Tsu once pointed out to me that I'm good at mysterious characters. Basically this means I'm good at talking nonsense, but whatever. I do guess there's a bit of a trend here, though, so it's all cool. Basically, when I think 'wow that's such a cool thing to do', they're on my list.

3) Which of this is more true of you, choosing characters because you can relate to them or they're not the same as you?
Neither, really!

4) Do you make your own userpics for these characters?
I've done so for Spider and Dorian, but only because there weren't any icons. And I did that on like... the cropping thing at lj.

5) This is a rather redundant question, but how worried are you about your characterization?
Kind of too much, I'm guessing :'D I'm not always worried, but sometimes fear just strikes. Especially when someone who knows the canon well is watching.

6) Which muses of yours are the most active?
Yuuko and Franziska, I'd have to say. Just... count the journals.

7) BRPS. Are you worried that you might turn up there?
Basically the same as I said in 5; sometimes I see people haet stuff in brps that makes me go 'I-I might have done that', so who knows. But I don't read it, anyway.

8) Have you ever seen yourself in rp_secrets?
I don't read rp_secrets, and I doubt I'm so internetfamous that I'd turn up there. Besides, they're secrets.

Part 3: Games.

1) What attracts you to a particular game?
A cool setting, activity, and good players.

2) What type of game(s) are you involved in right now?
Multiversal Nexus (dear_multiverse) and a Multiversal thing based off Utena (this because some people would classify jardin_du_ciel as a school rp but really it's not. The school setting provides the lulz, most of the plot comes out of the duels and the memory-thing.)

3) In general, how active are the games you're in?
Jardin's just starting up, so it's to expected that it's not that busy yet. d_m is slowly getting less active, but it used to be AMAZINGLY ACTIVE so it's still.. not too bad.

4) How about your relationships with the other muns?
I've made some amazing friends through rp'ing, really truly amazing, so I'd say pretty good. If anyone hates me, I haven't heard it yet.

So I'm doing pretty damn great in school. Just a few more weeks and I'm done with all the monotony, fuck yeah.

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:03:12 GMT

S-o, 85 percent on my Dutch oral, 68 on my Greek test, 80 on my History oral, and between 80 and 90 for my English oral.

I am thrilled. I also have a 5-day-weekend ahead of me that I will be sure to spend well. It's my sister's birthday tomorrow, I have acquired (MAGICALLY) Persona 3, and about 2 seasons of Doctor Who and Torchwood.

ALSO AGAIN. HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLGA~~~~ If you want me to drop by for your birthday.... I will, you know :>>>> Not this weekend, but next, sure >3

to cancel out all the MATHS on my flist

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 09:10:37 GMT

'Happy' Ides of March, guys! The dictator is dead, long live the dictator!

Insert variations of 'et tu, Brute', here. Poor Caesar ;o;

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:57:44 GMT

For those who concerns this (lol rly Lieke): I've decided to take a bit of an RP'ing hiatus. Just for a few weeks, until the most of my exams are over and I'm not stressing so much anymore. RP's been pretty slow lately, anyway, and of course that's mostly due to my... let's just say I've been a little out of it lately. Focusing on school and not having to force myself to RP for a bit should do me good. I'll get back into things on Good Friday, two weeks from now.

Anyway. My dad went into hospital the 26th, a day after his 60th birthday. Got out 5 days later, turned out he had some kind of bowel infection, quite ghastly, but he's okay now.

Went to Ypres (Ieper) on Wednesday; very impressive, if you're ever in the neighbourhood I certainly recommend it. It won't cheer you up, but it'll definitely impress you.

I should update this thing more :>

anon meme.

I'm kind of wary of these kind of things, because A) ALL I DO THESE DAYS IS POST MEMES SORRY GUYS B) lol possible criticism. But I need to learn how to handle it, so don't hold back <:

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:07:53 GMT

Tagged by themodestotter!

a. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
b. Tag seven people to do the same.
c. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it".

1. My handwriting tends to change with my emotional state. When I'm upset, it turns really tiny, when I'm happy I either try hard to make it look pretty (and then I fail) or it just fails in the first place.

The other day, my Dutch teacher was looking at my homework (which was like over 9000 pages so wtf I'd stopped doing my best and it was positively illegible), went 'Oh. It's not so bad. I can read this. *flips a few pages* Look, this, for example, says 'if'.' Turd :(

2. I tend to fit my mood/my way of conversing to the person I'm talking to. This is because I really want to be liked (THOUGH HOW HARD COULD IT BE RITE??), probably, but it's a really weird thing to do! Well, maybe not to do, but to notice it. After yeears and yeaaars.

3. I'm quite blunt, apparently. But I don't realise it when I'm being blunt, people just go 'lol Lieke that was kinda blunt' and I go ':o now that you mention that'. Case in point: I told a guy in my class that his shirt was REALLY UGLY. And it was. It was fluorescent yellow. And he has not worn it since.

Now, tell me honestly that being blunt is not sometimes good.

4. I always act very sure of myself, even to close friends, but ssh. I'm not.

5. ...I'm really loud. Which isn't for overcompensating. I just sometimes forget when to shut up, or that not everything I think of is interesting enough to actually say out loud.

6. God, I don't know, I suck at these things D: Uh.... I came out of the closet when I was 13, and then I had a period of about a year when I kept thinking that maybe I was bi. I don't know why. That's not the order you do things in! You think you're bi, thén you say you're gay. B| It's in all the-- the--- gay books. Or something.

7. I have a tendency to REALLY LIKE STUFF and then give up just before the end because I figure I know what's going on by then. Like with PW-- don't worry, I finished it. But only because I kicked myself in the head to do so >:

EDIT FOR DUMB: I tag Tsu, Ali, Olga, Matt, Geerte, Norm and Isamun!

mennybeads: B|
mennybeads: *is a guru!!*
fidchell: OSHI--!
mennybeads: THAT'S RIGHT
mennybeads: If I were dating you you'd sleep on the couch. I wonder what the rp'ing version of sleeping on the couch is.
fidchell: I do not know, but I have an epic couch that folds out into a bed, so HAH.
mennybeads: mý couch.
mennybeads: ......which is leather and is wonderful to sleep on. Shít.
fidchell: XD
fidchell: SOMETIMES, I WONDER ABOUT YOU WOMENS AND YOUR PUNISHMENTZ.
mennybeads: I DON'T KNOW I'M NEW AT THIS KINDA THING.
mennybeads: I wasn't the one who sulked when I was in a relationship, you see. It was my girlfriend.
mennybeads: The only time I ever told her to sleep on the couch was when she poked my breasts, giggled, and said 'It's just like jelly!'
mennybeads: Fortunately, we were at her place and her couch súcked, so thére.
fidchell: ...Lulz.
mennybeads: My breasts aren't like jelly :(
mennybeads: They're wóndrous.
fidchell: So they don't go boin-boin-boing? That's not animu enough. :X
fidchell: ...WAIT, WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING YOUR BOOBS TO ME, I'M A GUY.
mennybeads: ......well, I never know with you!!
mennybeads: So you think my boobs are wondrous, baby? ;o;
fidchell: Sure, they're wondrous.
mennybeads: a little more feeling, pl.
mennybeads: ....plz
fidchell: YOUR TITS ARE LIKE A VALLEY OF SUNSHINE AND WONDER AND HAPPINESS.
fidchell: ...How's that?
mennybeads: I especially liked......all the parts :3
mennybeads: YOU PASSED YOUR BOOBIE-PRAISING EXAMN. Good luck in the world, Mr Tsu!
fidchell: :O!
fidchell: ...This is one of those discussions that should be preserved in a post or something.

Can't argue with that.

IN OTHER IMPORTANT NEWS

Clockwise has had a change of policy. You can check the rules out here, but the long and short of it is this: we are now profiling ourselves as a Nexus sister community AS WELL AS a community where you can put your pup if, for example, your old rp has died! So if that has happened, but you don't want to lose any character development and the like that happened in that game, throw them into Clockwise! All fandoms and all communities are welcomed.

We hope that this will stimulate activity in Clockwise ♥

My school needs to shape up. I'm not mad or anything, but it ís a downer when I've been hoping for months that they could help me with my studies in Italy. They were incredibly positive about it, too, so they can't blame me. Luckily, one of the teachers involved admitted that they sucked. The other one, however, ist still as much of an arrogant tit as ever. He keeps going 'lolol just do the erasmus thing', which means that I have to do one year in the Netherlands, and then I can screw off to abroad.

I don't want to do one year here, I want to get out of here and go to Italy. I don't think he realises how much I want this. I'll get a couple of jobs there if needed, and pay all tuition myself, but I just want to go.

So no, I'm not mad, but I'm disappointed. I guess I'll continue on my search for good courses to follow Italian in Italy. Talk to my friend's mother about being a guide in Rome. Hum.

Oh jeebus, E. invited a mutual friend to her birthday party. On one hand, I knind of hope she won't invite me, because then it'll just be over with. It's so awkward all of the time :'D

On a happier, unrelated note: someone recognised my writing style in the anonymous PW kink meme. This pleased me! People actually reading this: should I post my fic to my journal? Or should I just keep it where it should be: on comms?

1 Yuuko (dimension_bitch/seenit_before)

2. Amélie (petitsmiracles)

3. Franziska (whipit4justice/perfect_steel)

4. Aziraphale (lostmysword)

5. Dante (son_of_madness)

6. Spider (a_nansi)

7. Adrian (blindingmonster)

8. Dorian Grey (youthforever)

9. Hijikata Toshizou (soldierchimney)

10. Melusine (derniere_dragon)

Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? (Spider or... no one)

I don’t have an 11, but I’m guessing they’ll be better than Spider regardless of who they would be.

2. Do you think 4 is hot? How hot? (Aziraphal)

Aw, no. Aziraphale’s just cute.

3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed? (no one and Dorian..?)

Whatever they would send him on, if it’s not ‘preen’, he’d fail.

4. What is or would be 9's favorite book? (Hijikata.)

’Haiku’s for dummies.’

5. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around? (Amélie and Spider)

.....neither. They both have their soulmates already D:

6. For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10? (Dante, Hijikata, Melusine)

Melusine. Definitely. First, she’s a hot chick, which is always a plus. 2nd, Hijikata is a grumpy old man who would order him around, and that’s just not cool. Melusine is laid-back (though she’d take up all of the hot water), so they’d go pretty well together.

7. 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss? (Amélie, Adrian and...no one?)

Adrian would let himself be dragged anywhere, the way he is at the moment. Amélie would prefer a nice, small, probably ethnic restaurant with candles and gréat food and artists. They could talk about illusions!

8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens? (Franziska and Melusine.)

Well, Franziska’s good with a whip, but Melusine is like.... a bloody android. Probably, Melusine would try to talk Franziska out of this at first, but the woman doesn’t know how to stop. So she’d probably fight her, and it would result with Franziska unconscious but with very little bodily harm.

9. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would s/he get it back? (Yuuko, Dorian)

If Yuuko stole Dorian’s portrait, he’d be píssed. Sadly, though, she’d probably trick him into making a wish to get it back, but the price would most likely be his beauty.

And then where would we be.

10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire. (Adrian and no one. Geez :< )

I doubt whoever 12 is would also desire Lawrence. And I’m crap at titles D:

11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together? (Yuuko and Aziraphale)

Crowley doing something stupid, and Aziraphale having to wish their way out of it. They’d probably be stuck in Japan.

12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along? (Adrian)

Ahaha god no I wouldn’t. He’s kind of psyched-out right now, so no. As he was before, though, we could’ve made small-talk.

13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be? (Franziska)

Now that’s improbably. Um... Get me her outfit...?

14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?

Crap, you guys, I don’t have an 11. But I don’t have many artist on my flist!

15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be? (Amélie, Aziraphale, Dante)

Probably Aziraphale, because he’s not as crude as Dante. Actually, he’s not crude at all. And he’d flatter her.

16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle? (Melusine)

I’m crap at these kind of things, but it would probably be something exceedingly silly.

17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose? (Dorian.)

I feel pretty!

18. 1, 6 and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it? (Yuuko, Spider and no one.)

Yuuko. Because she’s scary when it comes to good food, a witch, and she has really nice tits. Spider would really put the tits first.

19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10? (Amélie and Melusine.)

I cannot imagine Amélie using pick-up lines. Amélie does elaborate things like make posters and put them all over town. Or make a route for her with hints that would eventually land Melusine at something amazingly romantic and personal. That’s the kind of think Melusine would like too, I imagine.

20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for? (Dante)

Killing things? Illegal possession of weapons? Excessive drinking? ...it’d probably be a bar-fight.

21. What is 6's secret? (Spider)

UH that he’s a god?? Nowadays, anyway. That didn’t use to bother him.

22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first? (Hijikata and no one.)

I actually don’t know. Hijikata ís pretty fast, but he’s not superhuman or anything.

23. 3 and 7 tell conflicting versions of events. Which is more reliable? (Franziska and Adrian.)

Franziska, because Adrian is on the legal version of crack.

24. 1 (Yuuko) and 9 (Hijikata) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4’s (Aziraphale) sinister secret organization. 11 (/) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 (/) is actually a spy for 4 (Aziraphale). Meanwhile, 4 (Aziraphale) has kidnapped 12 (/), in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Dante), they seek out 3 (Franziska), who gives them what they need to complete their quest." What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it?

This is just really weird. Um. “I did it for the scones.” Pasket, Matt though he doesn’t know half of the canons (ilu matt), Isamun. Otterbeans!

25. If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8? (Adrian or Dorian)

.... what. Adrian is the guy you don’t want to meat in a dark alley, and Dorian would scream like a little girl at this rate.

26. Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to? (Spider/ no one)

IT’S IMPOSSIBLE. EVERYONE WOULD DO SPIDER COME ON.

27. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four to deflower One? (Aziraphale/Yuuko)

AHAHA shit what?? Personality changes. Some major ones.

28. What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant? (No one/Dorian)

If anyone got Dorian pregnant, ever, he’d maul them for making his perfect stomach look bad ):

29. Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine? (Hijikata.)

Oh, man... I once read this fan-tas-tic fic of Hijikata, but it’s been a really long time and I’d have to dig around in the Peacemaker comms. If anyone wants to read it, just ask me and I’ll see what I can do. It’s a fic that made me cry, though. Big crocodile tears.

30. Would Two and Six make a good couple? (Amélie/Spider)

Not really. Spider’s too... Spider.

31. Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why? (Dante/Hijikata or Dante/Melusine.)

Definitely Melusine. She’s not an easily ticked-off old guy, for example. That always helps.

33. Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic. Franziska/Melusine

It would be really cute, for starters. Melusine would leave little cute tidbits of love around for Franziska to find. And she’d show her that she accepts her all the time. And then Franziska would break :3

34. Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff? (Yuuko/Dorian)

....if there was, I’d tap it so hard.

35. Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic. (Adrian/ no on)

Yeah, that probably works. I don’t think anyone would like to do hurt/comfort with Adrian :/

Happy New Year, everyone! ♥♥♥

I will be so glad when I'm done with high school. It's not school itself, it's just the rhythm, the same routines, same building, same everything... I'm really rather sick of them.

However, there are bright spots in my splendiferous education, such as the books we read for French. That is to say, the first, since the 2nd is Sartre which is tedious in any language. Let us hope French will brighten it up.

Anyway, La Cantatrice Chauve. Everything has been said about this play already, so I'll kindly shut up and just show you some excerpts. I'll translate the text for all you cuties. Pasket, try to do it without and I'll be ever so proud of you :3

[extrait 2 : Tiens, on sonne.]

On entend sonner à la porte d'entrée.

M. Smith - Tiens, on sonne. (There, someone's ringing the bell.)

Mme Smith - Il doit y avoir quelqu'un. Je vais voir. (Elle va voir. Elle ouvre et revient.) Personne. (There has to be someone. I'll go see ....No one.)

Elle se rassoit.

M. Martin - Je vais vous donner un autre exemple… (I will give you another example...)

Sonnette.

M. Smith - Tiens, on sonne. (there, someone's ringing the bell.)

Mme Smith - Ça doit être quelqu'un. Je vais voir. (Elle va voir. Elle ouvre et revient.) Personne. (There has to be someone. I'll go see. ....No one.)

M. Martin, qui a oublié où il en est - Euh!…

Mme Martin - Tu disais que tu allais donner un autre exemple. (You said that you were going to give us another example.)

M. Martin - Ah oui… (Oh yes...)

Sonnette.

M. Smith - Tiens, on sonne. (There, someone's ringing the bell.)

Mme Smith - Je ne vais plus ouvrir. (I won't go to open again.)

M. Smith - Oui, mais il doit y avoir quelqu'un! (Yes, but someone has to be there!)

Mme Smith - La première fois, il n'y avait personne. La deuxième fois, non plus. Pourquoi crois-tu qu'il y aura quelqu'un maintenant? (The first time, there wasn't anyone there. The same with the second time. Why to you think that someone will be there now?)

M. Smith - Parce qu'on a sonné! (Because someone rang the bell!)

Mme Martin - Ce n'est pas une raison. (That's not a good reason.)

M. Martin - Comment? Quand on entend quelqu'un sonner à la porte, c'est qu'il y a quelqu'un à la porte, qui sonne pour qu'on lui ouvre la porte. (What? When someone is ringing the ball at the door, there is someone at the door, who is ringing the bell for someone to open the door for him.)

Mme Martin - Pas toujours. Vous avez vu tout à l'heure! (Not always. You have seen it just a moment ago!)

M. Martin - La plupart du temps, si. (Often, yes.)

M. Smith - Moi, quand je vais chez quelqu'un, je sonne pour entrer. Je pense que tout le monde fait pareil et que chaque fois qu'on sonne c'est qu'il y a quelqu'un. (Me, when I go to visit someone, I ring the bell to enter. I think that everyone does the same thing and that every time the bell is rung there is someone.)

Mme Smith - Cela est vrai en théorie. Mais dans la réalité les choses se passent autrement. Tu as bien vu tout à l'heure. (That's all good and well in theory. But in reality, things happen differently. You have seen it just a moment ago.)

Mme Martin - Votre femme a raison. (Your wife is right.)

M. Martin - Oh! Vous les femmes, vous vous défendez toujours l'une l'autre. (Oh! You women, you are always defending one another.)

Mme Smith - Eh bien, je vais aller voir. Tu ne diras pas que je suis entêtée, mais tu verras qu'il n'y a personne! (Elle va voir. Elle ouvre la porte et la referme.) Tu vois, il n'y a personne. (Well, I'm going to see. You won't say that I have fainted, but you will see that there won't be anyone!)

Elle revient à sa place.

Mme Smith - Ah! Ces hommes qui veulent toujours avoir raison et qui ont toujours tort! (Ah! The men who always want to be right but are always wrong!)

On entend de nouveau sonner.

M. Smith - Tiens, on sonne, il doit y avoir quelqu'un. (There, someone's ringing the bell, there has to be someone.)

Mme Smith, qui fait une crise de colère. - Ne m'envoie plus ouvrir la porte. Tu as vu que c'était inutile. L'expérience nous apprend que lorsqu'on entend sonner à la porte, c'est qu'il n'y a jamais personne. (Don't send me to open the door again. You have seen that it is useless. Experience has taught us that when the bell is rung, there is no one at the door.)

Mme Martin - Jamais. (Never.)

M. Martin - Ce n'est pas sûr. (It isn't certain.)

M. Smith - C'est même faux. La plupart du temps, quand on entend sonner à la porte, c'est qu'il y a quelqu'un. (That's wrong all the same. Most of the time, when someone is ringing the bell at the door, there is someone.)

Mme Smith - Il ne veut pas en démordre. (....I don't know I don't know what démordre is .-. )

Mme Martin - Mon mari aussi est très têtu. (My husband is very stubborn as well.)

M. Martin - Ce n'est pas impossible. (It's not impossible.)

M. Smith - Il y a quelqu'un. (There is someone.)

Mme Smith, à son mari. - Non. (No.)

M. Smith - Si. (Yes.)

Mme Smith - Je te dis que non. En tout cas, tu ne me dérangeras plus pour rien. Si tu veux aller voir, vas-y toi-même! (I'm telling you no. Anyway, you won't bother me for nothing again. If you want to go and see, go yourself!)

M. Smith - J'y vais. (I'll go.)

Mme Smith hausse les épaules. Mme Martin hoche la tête.

M. Smith va ouvrir - Ah! How do you do! (il jette un regard à Mme Smith et aux époux Martin qui sont tous surpris.) C'est le Capitaine des Pompiers! (Ah! How do you do! It's the captain of the fire watch!)

So, anyway, there you go. Later the captain reveals that he had been there the whole time, and the first time there was no one. The second time, there was no one either. But the third time, it had been him but he had hid in the bushes because he thought it was funny.

If you want, more later! ♥ I quite enjoyed this play. We read it in class with an audio tape of a performance, which made it much more lively.

I, for one, got 70 percent on the German test that I had failed the first time (44 percent). S-so I am jazzed, people!

I'm taking Camille out for ice cream come christmas break because we said we would if we both had good grades. And my sister is going to pay for it because she got me that (also a ticket to a cabaret show [Guido Weijers, who rocked], because she's a doll) for my birthday.

And I am totally gonna rock at my English tests this year. Nothing but 90 percent and up.

S-so I guess I'm in a better mood??

Aaah Ali, remind me to send you that picture of that barber's in Barcelona that had your name, okay?

I got 75 percent on that interview-with-a-philosopher thing. Could've been better, but hey, take what you can get, right?

I have the following few Thursdays off, which is a blessing. I might go to Berlin this christmas break! Pick up the kids who'll be coming over for 10 days or so. That would be fantastic. I hope it'll be okay.
