L'orange de chocolat est tres bonne :)

So lately I've started a new project for myself. I'm making desktop wallpapers based on characters from films/tv shows, without using their faces, their clothes, any of the things they say, or any other really obvious way of showing who it is.

It's quite difficult, but I've managed three so far. Take a look!

Hermione Granger (Harry Potter):


Morgana (BBC Merlin):


Mrs Lovett (Sweeney Todd):


The last one is my favourite, and also the first one I made. It was made before I'd decided on the rules for myself though so it does feature a little bit of Bellatrix which I would change if I could be bothered but I can't.

I suppose that next I should tackle a male character... but that will be extra difficult for me. I haven't decided who to make next yet, so if you have any ideas drop them by me. I thought about doing Merlin or Arthur but ended up staring at the screen for a while before giving up & making Morgana haha.

Oh by the way the writing on Morgana's wallie is 'dierne dryicge', which (hopefully) means something like 'secret sorceress' in Old English - which is what the writing team use when they write spells in the show. I think that's just about obscure enough to get past my own rules lol.

Anyway I was thinking maybe Captain Jack Sparrow next? Ooorrr Robin Hood?

EDIT:

Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean):

(Second attempt)

Pirates Four?

Plans for a fourth pirates of the caribbean film recently came to my attention (yes, I get my news from CBBC Newsround..)

Another PotC film? Are they going bonkers? The third one wasn't as bad as people say, but it really wasn't good enough to be getting more sequels, surely! I'm also feeling slightly let down by Mr. Depp, who despite his usual claims of freedom and artistry seems to be tying the everlasting knot of "oh, that's that pirate bloke!" and "isn't he that one what had dreadlocks and eyeliner?"

After all the diverse and different films that he's made over the years, surely he isn't really doing a fourth film with exactly the same character. It can't be just for the money, as Depp is fortunate enough to be perfectly wealthly (to the extent that he has somehow purchased an entire island, an accomplishment that I did not know was possible until he managed it). I can't imagine that it is for love of working with his fellow actors either, for despite their pretty faces and lovely personalities, Knightley and Bloom hardly match up to his level of acting ability.

I'll probably still pay to go and see it though. Even if I'm just going with some equally silly fangirl and we just natter about how pretty he is for the whole film.

Hallo, hallo! Ich bin dein Ohrwurm, dein Ohrwurm.

Hee. German songs are like way awesome.

Just realised that there is a massive picture of Orlando Bloom on my Pirates of the Caribbean calendar, and that it's the first thing that you see when you enter my room lol.

I hope nobody thinks I'm a little Orli Fangirl hahahh.

Moving on.

So we were at church, but it was a communion service so there was no sunday school for the kids. Cue me, at the back pretending that doing the wordsearch is the same as making sure the kids are okay. Anyway, there was this bit of the service when all the kids were supposed to hand out flowers to all the women (it's Mothering Sunday, for those of you completely in the dark) - but I was completely caught off guard when some kid hands me a bunch of daffodils.

I'm like "OMG AM I A MOTHER? WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS? AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Then I remembered that they were just giving them to females, not just to mothers. So I composed myself and took the flowers with a little baffled smile.

I suspect that one day, when I am a mother, it will suddenly hit me and I'll have a similar reaction. And I'll just walk around for the whole day like "omg.. I'm a mother.. nggghhhh... :|"

Hahh. To mothers! (mine in particular) *raises glass* Cheers!

Arrgg!

So I was thinking what I should have for lunch.. then I remembered, I got mum to buy me some Pirate Pasta shapes from ASDA :D

So I was like, yeah man. That'd be an awesome lunch.

Look at the cool shapes (sorry about pic quality lol)
I poured it into the tin and - oh no! What is this rubbish?
Cannon balls?! Clearly some ridiculous attempt to fit something healthy in there or something. I eat pasta shapes all the time, but I'd never had this upleasant shock before.
I ate half of one.. But - as my dad would say - the royal nose was turned up. Ate the rest of it though lol.

It looked a bit more appetising in real life lol, promise!

Then I thought I'd play a quick game before starting on my English coursework. Now, I don't know if I've mentioned this on here (I think I might've), but I'm a very old user on a website called Neopets, which I used to play when I was supposed to be doing Homeschool back in Turkey.

Anyway, the aim of the website is that you have these pets, and you look after them by buying food and toys for them etc. and you earn the money ('neopoints') by playing games. I usually only ever go on there to play games (I think all my pets are actually dying of starvation lol) which is what I was going to do today.

I didn't realise it would take me an hour to get anywhere with the one that I picked. I'd never played it before, but it was the featured game (so I'd get double the money that I could usually get). You have to keep finding two tiles that match until there aren't any tiles left, but some of the tiles are underneath other ones and you can't always use all the tiles. If you end up without being able to click on anything then you have to start all over again. I had to reset five or six times in the last round :(

Anyway - to Hamlet!

Last minute preparations...

..for International Talk Like A Pirate Day!!!!!!


You've got to be excited. Siriusly.

If you don't join in with the celebrations...


YE WALK THE PLANK, MATEY.

Pirates don't go to the bathroom in twos

lol I know it's anti-girls, but I can't help but find it funny :P

*screams and runs away*

Soooo remember when we were in Year 9, all those people were like "oooooh it's your GCSEs in the next 2 years! THAT's going to be stressful :D " and we were all like "shut up."

Turns out -they weren't just taunting us for the sake of it...

Oh crap.


Tomorrow I'm going to see a play in Birmingham called "An Oak Tree". What's it about? No idea. It's probably about an oak tree. Then again, maybe not. Psh. It's like Pirates of the Caribbean 2 all over again... I mean, seriously. When was there a dead man in it? (other than at the end of course *sniff* RIP Cap'n (even though we all know that he won't rest. Or be peaceful.. bloody pirates..))

Then I have non-uniform day on Friday, and a week after that all the madness begins.

Friday 23rd March - Full dress rehearsal for drama piece. AHHH.
Monday 26rd March - Perfomance of drama piece. AHHH.
