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)

I realise that I'm slightly mad.

I made a doll. From three matchsticks, some blu-tac, and some thread. It's now 2:30am.

I know, I know. Buuut I like playing!! Take a loook:


She's not great, the hair was a ridiculous affair, but look at the little matchbox bed! I put feathers in it as a mattress. I was too scared to give her a face, but I might ask what my mum thinks I should do with her. I still have to confess to her that I nicked the white thread from her.. she probably won't mind though hehe.

She so far has no name - any suggestions?

Right, okay, I am going to bed! (well, soon)

Merlin was awesome. Teehee!

"My name's Lancelot, I break-dance a lot"

This basically just made my life awesome.

Also I went to see this Romani (Gypsy) music thing this evening and it was really brilliant :D I'll probably spend all of tomorrow trying to find their music online hehe.

MERLINMERLINMERLIN.

Meeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrliiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn.

I watched it last night when I got home from the wedding. I wasn't sure if I was awake enough to watch it because it was getting on to like 1am but as soon as it started my eyes were wide open & I was so excited lol!

Also, today I discovered this 45 minute documentary thing about it!! It's called Merlin Secrets and Magic. Lovelovelove. Apparently there's going to be a little 15 minute one every week after the episode like Doctor Who Confidential. So awesome. It's on tonight at quarter to eight, so I'm going to have to get those boys I'm babysitting into bed quickly! Haha.

There's a bit in the Secrets&Magic show where Colin Morgan and Bradley James are singing along silently to a song and someone awesome on youtube worked out which song it was xD Looooook:



If you haven't seen the new episode yet GO AND WATCH IT NOWWW. NOWWWW.

I don't want another preetty face..

Yeah, that's right kids. Jesse McCartney. Hahaha.

So it's 1:12am and I'm chewing on a ruler as Jesse goes on about beautiful souls or something.

Katrina can't sleep.

Well that's just grand.

I'm feeling fidgety and inquisitive, but I'll go and have my bath in a bit, and maybe that will calm me down a bit.

Our shower recently died (while I was in it) and since then I've been taking baths every night. Now, other than the last couple of days, the only baths I ever really take are right after Christmas so that I can quickly use up all the glittery rubbish that people I don't know have seen fit to grace me with. But baths are a bit strange, aren't they? I realise that people have been taking them for ages, but essentially you're silently lying naked in a bowl of water next to the loo. Weirddd. Hahha.

So on Wednesday night I had my first bath adventure in a while and I was a little rusty on how the whole process works. I spent a while playing with the taps, not really doing a great job of getting the water at the right temperature. I've even started stirring the bath with a shampoo bottle so that the whole thing is about the same temperature xD

Eventually, I got in the flipping bath. It was quite hot (despite my stirring technique). I sank my head under the water to get my hair wet, but got distracted as hair gets all swishy under water :) lol. Then I started thinking about mermaids.

I mean, they're pretty awesome, right? The Little Mermaid was a cool film, we watched it in year 10 for the fairy tales project (which, by the way, I got an A in :D) but then my English teacher started telling us about the original story by Hans Christian Anderson, which was rather gruesome. As I washed between my toes I thought about how the girl in the story felt like she was walking on knives with every step she took.

By this point, I was in my own little Kingdom. I spent about ten minutes thinking about stories. Princesses, knights in shiny armour, fairies, unicorns, mermaids, goblins- you know, the works. Wait, rewind- unicorns?

It's at this point when I completely forget the bath story and start going on about Merlin!

Right, so, today (or.. yesterday) I watched yet another fabulous episode of Merlin! Right, okay, so it wasn't the best one so far, but we got lots of very pretty shots of Arthur! :D

*melts into a puddle of incomprehendable gloop*

Hahha. If his acting career falls through, I might hire him as a spider catcher xD (that spider is SO massive!)

Alright, alright, I'm going for my bath.

I hope you can tell from the pointless length of this post how ridiculous this mood I'm in is.

If you're still reading AND you clicked on the link and watched it, you've earned a gold star.

The rest of you can go hand your head in shame

Nah not really. We can still be friends even if you don't have the courtesy to click on the links that I provide for you.

Gosh, I chat such rubbish.

RIGHT YES BATH TIME YES OKAY BYE THEN.
