lazy lazy, i just need to start sometimes haha

This is what I did Yesterday








So Cool! the Korean Alphabet is one of the most scientific writing systems! and yet it is Steeped in "Oriental Philosophy" like Yin and Yang, its such an interesting language and alphabet. Did you know the letters aren't just random? So interesting!

These pictures are just what I did yesterday, the consonants and vowels. With each letter I wrote out the strokes and what order you do those in and also the pronunciations, but the ones for the consonants are written in american, whereas the vowels are in whatever I thought was more accurate with my Icelandic and English, since I could actually hear them.

WOOHOOO! now that I have Actually started its a lot easier than i was dreading haha. I am gonna make me some Flash Cards! and download some other help things for the consonant pronunciations. MIRIAM! you are good at studying, Any tips for flash Cards? hehe


Im Off to see a Wizard about a horse

Future Occupation

hahahaha I had an interesting dream last night, i can only rmemeber bits and pieces



So in this dream I am a workin lady, and I have a husband and children. At my job place they decide I am going to be transferred, this transfer is a HUGE promotion, and it is to NORTH KOREA! hahahahahahahahahahhah but before I can be transferred fully (my family and everyone) I have to pass their probationary period (the other company that i am being transferred to, i am gonna be like a consultant or sumsing). I am in a meeting with six or seven individuals, men and women, From this North Korean company, and They are testing to see if I am commi enough (HAHAHAH), They decide i would be an asset and so I go to North Korea for six months, working in whatever it is i am working, and They finally decide that I am satisfactory. My family can now move to North Korea and we can live there. So My family is arriving at the airport and as i wait for them to arrive I am in another meeting, it is similar to the one with North Korea, but these are South Koreans, and I'm a SPY!¨!!!!¨¨¨!!! the purpose of me being in North Korea is to spy and figure out something to do with uniting the Peninsula.


BAHAHAHA before you accuse me of watching too much Alias, I think this dream was inspired by a book I am reading called "The Three Day Promise" its a memoir of a Korean Soldier, its really interesting, and yeah, i was reading it before I went to sleep and so I think it seeped into my dream lands


hehehe I enjoyed the Dream very much.

Lechur

Today I went for a leisurely stroll, because when I walk it is never with the intent to go slow, and that is how I see that Phrase "leisurely stroll", walk slow. It was the perfect weather for it, a mild drizzle that became rain. It was very lovely, I watched a cruise ship disappear into the rain, baby duckies following their mommies, people fishing, puddles, grass, green. My usual apparel for rain is rolled up pants because I hate walking around with wet feet/socks/pants/shoes/legs, but today It was okay, because I realised I will be walking back home, and so I can change. So I walked in all the puddles, I examined all the starfish, all the rocks and grass. Today was a day of exploration and appreciation. I found a starfish, it seemed to be stuck to the pavement, i was a little sad, but then I thought of keeping it, but that made me sad/disgusted, so I plucked it off the ground and looked at it to see if it was alive at all, and then I dropped it into the ocean. They Have Starfish here? I watched it drift to the rocks, it was very pretty. and I could see it the whole time.

I am so odd, like my mamma I guess hahahah. When the Sun shines I am sad, but the clouds can always make it better! hahahaha odd nod

What Do You See?

Yesterday i was lost on the internets, to be more precise i was lost on the WongFu Productions youtube page hmhmhm. I had an interesting time discovering some new favourite things. I think these guys are very talented. They are these three guys who met in college and made videos together and now they are like a real indie thing.

It was so lovely. Yesterday I discovered this Short made by WongFu productions, directed by Wesley, one of the three.

It was so Lovely. I didnt want to share it on the facebook because I am selfish like this, when I find lovely things, I do not want to share, people are not worthy, I dont think they can appreciate wonderful things. its ok if they find it on their own, but I won't help them hmhmhm devilish.










After I watched this I was so ... swept away? I can't describe it, it was Lovely. It made me realize that I am not very creative these days! my brain is not thinking wonderful things that are interesting and colourful. my thoughts are Grey. I want to see colour.

I decided that once a Day I will look Up and ask myself "What Do You See?" .

I'm going to create another blog for this, it will be fun and the colours will pour back into my thoughts, I am sure!

The Ghost in Maliana's Toilet

So, for quite a while (as long a while as 2 weeks can be) there I was terrified of the ghost in Maliana's Toilet, of course I mean the english (or was it Australian) one.

So every time I'd go into the kitchen for whatever task I had planned to accomplish (examples, dishes, dinner, food, etc) after a few moments of being in the kitchen I'd start to hear a noise coming from the bathroom, it sounded like tapping, or possible hammering.

Once I was doing the dishes and I started to hear this noise. Since there is construction going on on the house across the street I thought it was just them hammering stuff, as people do when building a house, but just to make sure I turned off the water and listened; I could only hear the music playing in the other room. so I start to clean again a little wonderment going on, and then i hear the noise again, "taptaptaptap taptaptaptap taptaptap". I am starting to get a little spooked, but I still think its construction, so I turn off the water and listen again, this time I notice that there is no construction noise going on at all, so I go look out the window to see that there are no people out there. I go back to cleaning the dishes a little bothered now since I dont know what this noise is and its annoying. In my head I start making up stories and imaginings of ghosties coming to get me, and making the tapping noise so I will investigate and then they will get me. Obviously after a while I start to hear the noise again. This time I listen intently to try and figure out where the noise is coming from and I discover it is the bathroom. being Aussie, I turn the water off and go to the bathroom to hear the noise better, when I get there I hear nothing. I quickly get back to the dishes and try to finish faster.

When Maliana got home I told her my fearful tale of fear of the bathroom. When I first got here she had told me the bathroom was creepy, but I disagreed and thought it was awesome possum, now i agreed.

so days go by and I am terrified of the ghostie in the toilet, BUT! just a few moments ago I realised what the tapping was HAHAHAHAH

the tapping was the water pipes. whenever the hot water is running(maybe cold too) the pipes make a tapping noise in the bathroom, so every time I turned the water off to investigate the noise would go away hahahahhah so funny, I was scared of the room because I didnt know what the tapping was, and it was just creaky sumarbústaður house hahaha good times in the Iceland

WoW! this Icelandic water sure does make my old bones feel spry

SOOO i think it has been a very long time since the dawn of time, or my last ... whatever this thing is Called hohoho

And since then I might have turned 21, i might have flown over greenland to get to england, i may have even seen heart shaped red lights in Akureyri, I may have taken a 5 hour drive from akureyri to reykjavik, there may have been a miraculous appearance of Brother and sister Koyle, I may very well have been franticly trying to use the retarded public phones at the raykjavik bus tour station, and then as sister koyle tapped me on the shoulder and asked if i was Maliana's sister I may have almost cried, And at that very same moment the pay phone may have begun to ring.

Who knows what could have happened during all this time that has passed:!ÞÞ!Þ as I search for the question mark key, you may contemplate these possibilities
