Ok, so I can't sleep. I have to be at work in 5.5 hours, up in 4.5 hours. So I'm writing on a writer's blick prompt. "What do you listen to/read on a plane, in a car etc."

Just discovered this community, and I'm amazed at the talent there is out there. I do not consider myself a photographer, but I just can't help taking photos of landscapes I find beautiful or intriguing. This is my first time posting some photos I took while on holiday in USA. All feedback is welcome.

I've been a lurker for a while so I thought I should finally post something about me. So here we go:

Name: Danni
Age: 22
Height: 173cm or for the imperical people 5'8
Weight: 81kg or 178 lbs
Clothing size: Aus 12-14, US 10-12
Goal weight: 65kg or 143 lbs.

Am currently seeing a personal trainer twice a week, and am supposed to be using the gym on a third day and running every second day, but my shifts at work change from day to day, anthing from morning shifts (starting at 5am) to day/night shifts (finishing at 11pm) so my exercise has been all over the place. My eathing has kinda sucked too.

I'm going to have to change my habits slowly as I can only cope with changing one thing at a time. I've tried to do too many things at once before, and it worked, for about a week, then everything started going back to the way it was before.

So, my new goal (starting Monday) is to cut the junk food. No more crisps, chocolate, muffins, or candy. I don't need it, and I think my body is starting to reject it.

Wish me luck

Danni xo
 

Ok, so I should be asleep, but I think I'm past tired. So, I was going through my facebook and LJ and myspace pages and I found heaps of questionnaires and thought I'd complete them. Feel free to copy and post your own answers

( Random quizes this way )

I cannot believe that it's been abiut 2 months since I updated here. And I promised myself that I would try to update every week, every 2nd at most. Shame, shame.

It's been a complete roller coaster 2 months, that I can confidently say. And, through the ups and the major downs, I have come to a few realisations. And, unfortunately, as it always seems to be, you need to get to the lows before you can get to the highs and the realisations. If only you could do it without the lows.

ATTENTION ALL SUPERNATURAL FANS:

( Cut for spoilers )

 

I read a quote the other day that said "Good films unlock your imagination." Well I have to say Supernatural has done that. And I know it's a TV show, not a film, but I think you get what I mean.

This is the first show that I have ever really found myself so completely invested in. A show that I have become borderline obsessed with, written fan fiction for, thought up storylines for, and found myself so invested in the characters like they are real people. I have never felt the need to analyse a show the way I have for this one. I have never felt my heart tear up and break so many times in the course of a whole TV show, let alone the way the number of times my heart broke in this episode, completely forgetting the times it has this season.

How can they leave us there? There is no resoluteion. There is ALWAYS a resolution! I need my resolution! I'm not too sure how our boys can come back from this. BUT, I ahve faith in Kripke and co, that there will be a resolution. Whether it's one we want to see, and whether we see it by the end of the next episode I'm not too sure on.

I was amazed, as always, at the acting of both Jared and Jensen. I have long been a fan of Jensen's and always thought he was an incredible actor, but this one really opened my eyes to Jared. Not to say that I haven't appreciated his acting, he almost tore my heart out in Heart, but this episode, to see him shaking and hallucinating, and basically acting like a junkie gone cold turkey was an amazing transformation. The raw emotion that poured from him in every shot had my heart breaking, and to hear his cries, and see his struggle, I just wanted to let him out and hold him til it was over. I just wanted to protect him.

But Jensen, wow. The emotion poured from him as usual, but that last scene, him lying on the floor, broken both physically and psychologically, tore my heart out and stamped all over it. I had tears running down my face. And his feeble attempt to get up, to try and follow Sam out the door, just to have him roll back over in defeat sealed the deal. I was sobbing like I'd had my heart broken. I don't cry very often in movies, never in TV, but tonight, I did. I curled up in bed, with a teddy, and sobbed my heart out. I'm not sure if it was a whimper from Dean in the dying seconds of the episode or an echo of my own.

I couldn't help but flash back to the episodes in season 3 when Sam asked for Dean to kill him when Sam said the same thing to Bobby. We all khew he wouldn't shoot, but to see him standing there, shotgun resting against Sam's chest, I thought about Croatoan, and Playthings, Sam begging Dean in both instances to let him die, one way or another.

I can't help but feel a little like we've lost not only Sam, but Dean too. I feel a little like Sam in that Dean isn't the same as he was before he went to Hell, and really who can blame him, but I want my rough, rugged, wise cracking hero back and I want him back now. I can only hope that the boys can work it out before the end of the next episode. I don't think I can handle a break without a resolution. I'm sure we'll get one, but I can't help but think that it wont be the one we want. I have a feeling we'll be left hanging, rather like Dean at the end of last season, with out boys on different sides of the line drawn in the sand.
 

Thats about as coherent as I can get right now. I'm sure that I will have more fully formed thoughts once I watch it again, and pick up on the details I missed, but right now, I'm still reeling and that last few moments, the fight, Sam choking Dean, Dean not fighting back the way he should to him just giving up, to Sam's hateful words of 'You never knew me and you never will", especially when we all know that Dean knows Sam, to Dean's echo of his father's words about leaving and not coming back. It's all still swirling around in my head.

I think I will sleep tonight with the image of Dean lying on the floor on the back of my eyelidsm and if my pillow is wet before I sleep, well, the episode was just that good.

D! xoxo

As another year starts again, I have given myself time, today, to go over everything that has happened in the past 12 months, and I've come to some realisations.

( Realisations this way... )

Do any other oldest children feel like they are somehow inferior to their younger siblings? Do any of you feel like you are there to pave the way for them, and then they get the easy ride through life? Does anyone feel like they take a backseat to their younger siblings?

( Rant and Rave )
Edit: If anyone needs a reason to get a cat, I have a very good one. I have always, always had a cat, up until we had her put down almost 3 years ago. And tonight, for the first time in 22 years, we have a mouse in our house. And it's decided to take up residence in MY ROOM! Now, while I don't dislike mice, I don't particularly want it sleeping in my room. And, if it is eating or crapping on my framed Tiger in the Wild photo that my sister bought for me for my 18th birthday it wont have to worry that mum may bring a cat or a mouse trap home with he r tomorrow because I'll break it's scrawny little neck myself. I can hear it, but I can't find it and it's a little unnerving having a little brown thing smaller in length than my hand and fingers (including tail) running around in my room somewhere and not being able to find it.

I can't believe that it's been 11 weeks since I've updates this journal. So much has happened in the weeks between.

I know this is a bit late, but I'd like to wish everyone a safe, happy, healthy and prosperous new year and as I look back over 2008, I have come to the realisation that this past year has been a significant learning curve in almost every aspect of my life.
