You are Elinor Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are practical, circumspect, and discreet. Though you are tremendously sensible and allow your head to rule, you have a deep, emotional side that few people often see.

 The funny thing is that my (younger) sister got Marianne Dashwood, the younger sister. Funny since the first time I saw the movie-version of the book (well, it was the series actually) I called my sister and told her she had to see it cause we resembled those sisters a lot. And when she saw it, she agreed.

This day starts out juuust fine.

I don’t have the strenght to do the dishes today.
I don’t have the strenght to write a proper blog today.

After sushi I went through some mail and online-stuff. I’d gotten a request to sing  Six Pence None The Richer - Kiss Me. I love that song! It reminds me of summer and long, bright nights. Honestly I have a couple of requests waiting for me, but this will have to pass them. It’s such a great song! Maybe I’ll have time to record it on sunday?

As usual I was craving something sweet, so today I got Strawberries. I love to eat them just as they are (well rinsed, but that’s all I do).

I can never get tired of Strawberries, I l♥ve them. I even wear them on my shoes this summer.

I’ve been buying clothes 2nd hand online and today I picked up the package that recently arrived. My sister keeps nagging me about “going out” only I can’t wear a sweatshirt or hoodie *sigh*

What do you think about this one, think she’ll accept it?
It took some time to get a shot that showed the back, I got a lot of pics of my neck though. You really shouldn’t watch close-up of parts of your body. Now I have weird complex-issues about my neck.

The day ended in a good way with my latest addiction; FruitDanish
M did say it when I brought a bag for the 3rd day in a row:
-The café isn’t good for you, ellen
I’ll be rolling instead of walking before this summer has ended

Please bring it back, pretty please!

Anyways, I’m hearing words about HKO getting closer and closer to opening up again, so maybe I dare start blogging for real again?
 I’m svamped at work though, so I won’t promise to much, but I’ll do my best. I do miss my blogging as well after all.

If you do this for me, I will be so so grateful!
If you don’t then I’m still happy cause you’re here checking out my blog!

Today at 10pm I decided to make me some baking-time. As I had been shopping for a new recipe I’d found a couple of days ago, it was easy to decide what to bake; Geisha & Nutella Cupcakes.

I don’t know if you have Geisha or Nutella where you live, but basically it was a lot of chocolate. Mmm-hmmm…

Ok, so they look hideous, but please keep in mind this was my first try. I’ll make them better-looking next time. And yes, there will definatelly be a next time cause they were extremely tasty!

Now I just need to figure out how to not eat all of them tonight…

Ok, so there were maybe 20 participating, but I was still chocked and I still got very happy! So I had 2 days to find a hotell and get a train-ticket, but somehow I managed and me and my sister headed for Stockholm and Globen.

We had a good view from our seats as we sat straight opposite from the scene.

My favourite was Sarah Dawn Finer with “Moving On”, which was even more “huge” when seeing it live (and feeling every beat through my body).

But the winner was Malena Ernman with “La voix”. I don’t mind, though, cause I really liked that song too.

All in all, I had a great weekend, and I don’t think anyone I would have brought along would have been as happy as my screaming sister.

Anyways, on a happier note, they announced the Happy Hearts Quest Event Winners!
Congrats Kenman, Kaito, Serenity, Miyabi and Yueya!

 Tell me which bloggers have the most screenies of the end hours. I need to see some and pretend I was there!

You might (should) have read about Hello Kitty being out and about in Ripplecloud’s Blog. I have also run into Hello Kitty a couple of times before during FB. At first I saw her running around in Florapolis and later on we (the *Twin Starrs*-guild) caught her on the beach during the end of FB.

But this is different, she actually came to visit me on my farm!

She was all over the place, running around and looking at everything. Who could blaim her with all the pretty roses and fountains to look at though?

And then I started wondering aloud

And I started wondering other things aloud without getting any answers.. finally I started feeling like I had lost my mind talking to myself like that. And that was around the time that she left. She went to the door like any other nice guest and she was gone.

My guildies encouraged me to follow her, but by the time I gout outside she was gone. I saw Kittynator and Bi sitting outside and asked if they had seen her run by. And just then… Hello Kitty appeared again out of thin air! Only to run off and I wasn’t fast enough to catch her or see which way she went.

But it was fun having you visit Hello Kitty, come back again, any time you’d like!

Also, the new farmstyles are so pretty! I knew the instant that I saw GM Abbys blog about her farm that I would never find a more beautiful one, and I didn’t. But then there was the question of $. 20,000$ doesn’t grow on sorosis’s.

So I started of really simple in the Happy Hearts of HKO.

That didn’t stop me from getting nice visitors though. Both Starrfire7 and Bi came to visit my little farm during the first couple of days.

My Guild-mates quickly got their pretty farms though and I felt it was time to speed up on the $-raising.
Ghost made sure she would never have to get water again, by simply putting her farm next to a nice brook.

And Kiui has a thing for the mountains.

So… after a rollback that took the last 6k I had made (I finally reached 20k and then the rollback happened) I pulled my strenght together one last time and finally got my own beautiful farm!

I can’t help but spend a lot of time in there. Especially now with the great new farming-system. This lead to me running into an old friend from another online-game I’ve been really addicted to (I still play it, just not during HKO’s betas), Ceci. It was so much fun talking to her again, it’s been a while since we talked. The perks of keeping the same username in several places online.

I’ll end it with a bic pic of my new farm. My pride and joy! Just click the pic to see it in all it’s amazing glory!

You’re welcome to come visit anytime!

My first hour was full of fun, though.

First thing I noticed; I love being able to quickly see which NPC to talk to on a quest with that helping question-mark leading the way.

After finishing my quest, I run into koray, which very un-characteristicly wasn’t afk but very much there. It was nice getting to talk to him for a bit!

I also got to meet some of the other guild-mates. Starrfire7, Ghost and Tidesong where also online. I never saw Tide, and Ghost was like the wind. I was to busy getting the blowing hair out of my mouth to get a good screenie of her. But Starrs happily took a breather with me.

Hearing from my guild-mates that petcards were now dropping, I quickly ran to my first favourite in HKO, the Skunks. Luckily enough I got a card on my first try. I wasn’t as lucky when I continued to the Fox’s, but I’ve got time to work on them. Anyways, meet my new friend cotton candy!

Now I’ll see if I can catch me some of that sleep I’ve been hearing about. It’s supposed to be good for you, so I’d better give it a shot.

So I’ll just have my own little HKO-wake here in front of the computer. I’ll be in the chat-room incase anyone wanna join me.

At 2.50am I decided to run HKO incase there was a new patch, and there was. Then I couldn’t help but try and login and I got to accept some Terms and Conditions - that’s new. Then - to my utter surprise - I actually got in!

There weren’t many of us around, but I got to see Victor and Tidesong running around in there before GM Neverender announced that the server would go down for 45 minutes. But during the about 15-20minutes I got in there I got to see the moving windows. They weren’t the only things moving though. The windmill in Paris was moving, as well as the water in the London fountain. So pretty!

The Maps looked a bit different

And there where new NPC’s I met (or were they there during Christmas? I might have missed them then)
 

So… 30 minutes left huh? I just hope I can get back in then and not be run over by the crowd.
