Standing on the rooftops, everybody scream your heart out

Hello everyone, I'm back from the dead. I've been crazy busy for the past few weeks, and, surprise surprise, now I'm sick. I had fever last night, but no fever today (?). Not feeling too great anyway. But, as I'm kinda tired and so, and I have absolutely no idea what to write about, I decided to continue my challenge.

Day 05 - A Moment

Okay, so I decided to bring up a moment which happened a couple of years ago, autumn 2008 to be exact. It was the national championships, and relay. I had hurt my knee the day before, and it was all swollen. I was very nervous.

Well my performance wasn't exactly the best, and I wasn't feeling good about it. I thought I had done a bad job. But when I got the exchange, I heard I was at the top with a bunch of other teams, not far behind the leading one. I went to the shower, and when I came back I heard we had changed third. Though the girl on second leg was almost crying because she wasn't happy with her performance either.

So we went to the finish line, very excited. We knew we stood a good chance to even second place. So there we were waiting. Then, all of a sudden we heard another team start screaming. We thought that alright, here come the winners. But, when she came around the curve, we saw our team a few steps ahead. It was absolutely surreal. We - the national champions. That moment is a definitely memorable one, and one of the greatest ever. I can't describe the feeling then.

Anyhow, I'm tired, and I going to see whether there are any good movies somewhere in the house. So the title: lostprophets - Rooftops.

P.S. It's holidays again, ha ha. A whole wonderful week of absolutely nothing to do.

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day -- gotta live like we're dying

As I had five minutes to do something useless, I decided to log on here. And then I thought that I could just as well continue the challenge. So here we go...

Day 04 – Your Day

So today started, surprisingly, with school. I had German first thing. Nothing special. Then my mother tongue (not revealing what it is, ha ha), and then maths, which was nicely interrupted with dance practice. Which was a fiasco. Like not missing maths, but the practice.

We were supposed to practice our final surprise dance to the show next week, but it was a total disaster. The girls teaching it couldn't teach at all, and besides, it would've been kinda hard as they hadn't even finished the dance. Anyhow, it ended up with enormous frustration and anger and irritation and, well, you know. Everyone was just completely pissed off.

And added to that I'm suffering from great stress too. We have piles of school work to do (essays and projects and little quizzes plus normal homework), next week's going to be a mess, and I have way too much to do. This week I've been working again, and haven't had too much extra time, next week is going to be even worse. But then, thank god, a week's holiday!!! Can't wait.

Anyhow, after the practice I quickly went home, ate, and left to work. Nothing special there. I just wonder how come people send so many Valentine's Day cards. And besides, most of the cards seemed to be sent by women age 50+ to their children. Not really how I see Valentine's Day.

But, as I was supposed to only have five minutes, I'm really behind my schedule now. Shower, homework, food, chocolate (oh yes, please), maybe TV and then bed. So good night everyone!

P.S. I hope to write again as soon as possible. But it might be a week. But then I have lots to talk about!
P.P.S. I love the song. I know it's nothing new but it still is awesome.
P.P.P.S. Leave a comment. Haha. But seriously. Comments are always fun.

Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up,

we're hiding behind skin that's too tough.

How come we don't say "I love you" enough

'til it's to late, it's not too late.

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come,

and we could make a feast from these crumbs,

and we're all staring down the barrel of a gun,

so if your life flashed before you,

what would you wish you would've done..

Yeah, we gotta start,

looking at the hands of the time we've been given,

if this is all we got and we gotta start thinking,

if every second counts on a clock that's ticking,

gotta live like we're dying.

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to

turn it all around or to throw it all away,

we gotta tell them that we love them

while we got the chance to say,

gotta live like we're dying.

And if your plane fell out of the skies,

who would you call with your last goodbye?

Should be so careful who we live out our lives,

so when we long for absolution,

there'll no one on the line.

Yeah, we gotta start,

looking at the hands of the time we've been given,

if this is all we got and we gotta start thinking,

if every second counts on a clock that's ticking,

gotta live like we're dying.

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to

turn it all around or to throw it all away,

we gotta tell them that we love them

while we got the chance to say,

gotta live like we're dying.

I'm lost and I'm found

It's been a while. I'm sorry. But I've been busy. And I am busy. So this will be another "I'm not dead just busy" post, but forgive me. It'll probably be like another two weeks before I'll have time to post anything else than "I'm busy". And those posts are totally, completely, worthless, so I (hopefully) won't be posting them. With these words I'll return to the miraculous world of probability.

You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

Day 03 - 25 random facts about you and your friends

1. I'm an incurable romantic. I won't admit it to anyone I know, but I am. I love all love stories; even the worst romantic comedies.

Sad, huh?

Nothing else this time, I'm sorry.

I'm not a supermodel, I still eat McDonald's

Hey. I've calmed down now, and I thought I could continue my challenge. It's not going to be long though, as the topic is what it is.

Day 02 – What you ate today

Well, I started my morning with yummy blueberry yoghurt. I also had rye bread with cheese (mmm my favourite) and a cup of tea. Yes, I drink tea. I think coffee tastes terrible.
Next I had lunch in school. We had this meat-dish. I didn't really like it. It tasted weird, it had strange spices in it. I also had a little bit of salad, two slices of white bread, and a glass of milk.
In home I ate sausage soup, and another rye bread before practise. Just now I ate porridge, two slices of bread and a cup of hot chocolate (which actually was a glass and it was cold).

So nothing too interesting about it. I eat pretty much anything, but today the school lunch wasn't exactly tasty. I don't like beetroot, that I can say. But anything else goes. Almost. But I suppose this just became a short post, because I still have loads of homework to do.

I'm sick and tired of your attitude

Okay, not going to continue the challenge today. I'm too annoyed. Annoyed of negative people. I can't just stand it anymore.

There's this girl in my class. I don't know what's her problem, but she's seriously got some issues. She's complaining about everything and all the time. She's never happy. She's complaining about winter and wants it to be summer, but she's complaining about the sun shining. Excuse me? She's down all the time, and it's as if nobody would be allowed to be happy or in a good mood when she's around. I'm not going to pretend everything is crap just because she thinks so. God, she annoys me.

I can't stand these negative people. Life may not be great but you don't have to spread your bad mood on everybody else. It's not the fault of the rest of us. You can be negative, but if you are, please stay home or at least somewhere you can be alone. I don't want to hear how everything sucks and you don't want to do anything and you want this and that and when you get it you don't want it anymore but something else. I won't feel sorry for you if that's what you want. I won't come comfort you with "oh poor you, life's been so hard, I feel so bad, I understand you" because I can't stand it. The I'm negative for the sake of being negative. F**k negativity. You could try positivity for a change.

Besides, complaining is like arts. You don't take it too seriously. I myself complain a lot, but people have learned not to take me seriously. But this constant negativity is driving me mad. Nobody has the right to complain about everything 24/7. And this post makes no sense but I'm just... furious.

Day 01 - Introduce yourself

Okay, so I am a 17-year-old girl from... Haha, thought I was going to reveal it? Not quite yet. You can keep guessing. I have blond hair and green (or I think so) eyes. I'm about 170 centimetres (or around 5′6″, I suppose) tall. I use glasses. I have two younger siblings, a brother and a sister. I live in a row house, close to the city. I like the place.

I'm a complicated person. I'm kind of perfectionist, as much as it kills me to admit it. I want things to be done my way, as I - way too often - think it's the best. But don't get me wrong; I actually listen to others and cooperate with them. Often I have to ask people to tell their ideas, for example in school projects. Way too often people are just happy when someone says something. And I do, when I'm with people I know.
Getting to another thing. I'm not comfortable around big groups of people. In those cases I'm perfectly happy just hanging around and listening to others. It's completely opposite when in smaller groups; then I'm the one who's constantly talking and never shuts up.

I'm not one of these people who stand up for their thoughts or, well, anything. Still, I have (very) strong opinions, and quite a lot of them relate with fashion, looks and the whole society focusing on looks. I don't understand fashion. I don't know how to dress: my wardrobe consists of jeans and T-shirts, and a few hoodies. Okay, I might have a few other things, but hope you get the hang of it. I don't use jewellery, nor too much make-up (I'm perfectly happy with a mascara and a foundation. I'm not a tomboy, but I'm full of how women are told how they should look like, and normal, comfortable clothes mean that you don't try. I mean, what should I be trying??

I'm also quite, well, not independent, but somehow yes. I enjoy being alone, I don't need people around me 24/7. I don't actually want people around me 24/7. Whenever I'm home alone, I enjoy it, very rarely ask anyone to come over.
I'm like keeping things to myself. I don't like to share my dreams or such with people. Everything else, no problem. But personal things stay personal in my case.

Well, right now I can think of nothing else. I guess I'll just go upstairs and continue my Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows. For those of you who don't know, I had this project of reading the last three Harry Potters in English (I have read them before, but I didn't remember too much of them), with the translated copy in the other hand, and trying to learn good words or phrases and such. And I've actually learned, and I'm really happy about it!

Anyhow, this time the title has little to do with the text. It's just a song I hears when I was shopping with a friend of mine yesterday, and it's been stuck in my head since. So: The Saturdays - Missing You
