New year

Morning all,

I know I haven't done any posts in a while, I guess I just ran out of things to say. Now I seem to have more than enough, a little update on my life;
 - Have all three sopio decks, woop woop.
 - Have a Slytherin tie, yay ebay :D (the tie makes me evil... just saying)
 - Have a top which says House Targaryen, fire and blood.
 - Am attempting to get a agate crystal out of a claire's ring... with nail varnish remover.
 - Am wondering if I should talk about my faith...

So, yer.
I think the first three points don't really need much explaining, but the crystal from a ring... sounds a little crazy I know. I collect crystals, and I use them, I'm a practising witch. No... throwing water over me won't kill me, I do shower. *sigh* Yes I probably have heard all the jokes, and half of them I indulge. But anything, I found a ring in claires, one of those large ones with a massive agate stone in it, heck £2, its work it if I can get the stone out, and if I can't it's two quid. Therefore I've placed the stone and metal holder thingy in nail varnish remover, I'll report back if it works.

My dear best friends, and far too interesting in politics, I don't really give a... I mean I prefer religion as the topic of choise if there is going to be a debate. I'm a... *inhale* Kemetic inspired eclectic wiccan/witch (pagan) *exhale* because I can't seem to find a one word answer that actually makes sense. And I enjoy mindfucking my rs teacther when I explain this :P
My beliefs are a bit confusing, but I think it would be useful to write a few blog enteries about what I believe... and would inspire me to do a bit of work... :D

Anyway, I have an interview in two days, wish me luck.

Of dragons part three

Mornings,

Well I've started reading Game of Thrones again, gosh I love that book. Am asking for the rest of the series for Christmas. I'll admit, I'd never even heard of it until I saw the TV series, and after watching the Borgias, I understand the Guardian quote on the front cover.

I think I've probably already said this, but my favourite character is of course Daenerys Targaryen. Come on, Dragonlady! But even if she wasn't so associated with dragons I think I would still love her. Also second time reading it through, I've noticed the similarities between the Dothraki and the people of the Plains from the Warprize, Warsworn and Warlord books by Elizabeth Vargen... which is kinda awesome and adds to my ideas that all stories are mealy real events from parallel world.

But on my second reading, I've decided I also adore the Lannisters. My gosh, they are evil and awesome. They have a love/hate/ hate to love quality, that is almost reminiscent of the Malfoys from Harry Potter. Also check out the awesome quote to the left. Said by Tyrion the imp. I know the quote is talking about Jon and him being a bastard, but the quote spoke to me. I've been called some pretty mean and spiteful things in the past and hell, hasn't everyone? I like the quote, amour yourself with it and then it cannot be used to hurt you. That's pretty powerful if you can achieve such a state.

Talking about Jon Snow... him I don't like. I don't know why, but I just find him a bit whiny. But what can I say, at least there is a dragon on the wall. That makes my life better. The Starks generally annoy me, I think because they are trying to be the good guys and I have a lot more sympathy for the 'we're going to win and kick small children out of windows...' side. Not that I don't like Ayra, she seems to be the only one with any sense, and I love the idea of Needle. That is brilliant.

On the other hand, I think I love when Jon calls Joffrey a little shit to Ayra, just made me imagine Joff trying to sing about Pigfarts and the lights dying on him... and if he could have rolled on the floor a little more that would have been beautiful.

For now,
Ankh

Oh, woe

Morning,

Tomorrow I go back to school. I'm actually half excited because I want to see my friends again, and being an extrovert and desperate to get back to gossip. But since I haven't done an essay yet that I need for tomorrow... I'm blogging. Yer I know; honestly I'll do it tomorrow afternoon. We go in until break; yay for 6th form. Then we come home again.

I've just got a poster of Daenerys Targaryen that I've been waiting for. I love it, except I would prefer it to have the words 'Fire doesn't kill a dragon' rather than 'I do not have a gentle heart' but it's still awesome.

I had an odd feeling this morning, it doesn't feel like a Sunday. I guess I'm excited about going back; but some of my friends might not be getting back into the next year because they didn't get the grades. I know its selfish but I really want them to stay because it feels likes slowly (and in certain cases spectacularly) I've been losing friends this year... I think I'm down to 1.5 really close friends. Heck I don't know why I'm complaining, I've had less and survived. Shit happens and you throw them back and ask for lemonade... I think I got that saying confused...

I'm really annoyed with Sopio cards. I ordered the first deck and bonus pack at the start of August and I'm still waiting for them to turn up. I know post doesn't come on a Sunday, (thank you Harry Potter 1) but I'm still looking out the window expectantly. Even more annoying, is that next Saturday there is a tournament in Birmingham and I'm going to be in Birmingham but there is no point even looking if I'll be able to get there because the stupid cards haven't turned up. I would have liked to go but instead I'll be looking round the university. Yay, Ancient History!

Just in mention to Harry Potter I just realised there are 7 dragons in it that I can think of... I'll have to dedicate a month!

For now,
Ankh
