Not knowing, as ususal, where to put my limits, in the end of June (oh gosh, it seems me so long ago!) I decided to go for it, and try completing a craft challenge. I think that for my 30th birthday I should be about done ^^; So here is the challenge, made by :iconjade-xe: ~Jade-Xe

The types of craft included will be knitting, knotting, cross-stitching and papercraft... But as in the next 10 years I'm planning to give a try to the crochet and the sewing, maybe, MAYBE someday stuff like this will show up.
. But really, I'll be doing this slowly. And besides, if I wanna do something and can't fill it in any category, I'll still be doing it.
So, let's get it started! ~29.06.2009~

Current wips
1) LOTR scarf. That's what I'm currently knitting, as I mentioned in my previous post. The Fair Island lines were kinda hard for me to make and I'm not absolutely happy with them. Other than them, I really love it, and love working on it. I even think the stitches are pretty neat (for me). I'm just afraid I'll run out of grey soon. The first ball of yarn has almost ended already, and I knitted only about 40 cm. So I'll maybe add white in the middle... hope it won't look too bad.. the problem is I took the last 2 balls of that grey yarn from the magasine, if I remember correctly. And on the lable, there is almost no info at all and this pisses me off >.<
2) As for the cross-stitching, this one is finished. It was hard to stitch... only because I was afraid all the time that I'll run out of red thread. And it was really old tread, I had it from my great granma... those string I ususally use to make bracelets. But when I started this project, this red was the inly one I had at the moment so I strted with it. And as I didin't know the brand (that probably doesn't exist anymore) it'd be very difficult to find the very same colour... even though it's just red... I hardly made it actually. Now I'm totally out if red. And today, when I went shopping, I forgot to buy >.<

Some impossible goals to achieve
As the titles says, some impssible goals to achieve... that include enumration... and a hedgehog. The goals do not include the hedgehog though, but it's present in this post ;P
And here's the hedgehog! We saw him today when we went to Beglik Tash
Now I wanna have a pet hedghog ^^ this doesn't include counting, but is clearly impsooble too. Btw he ran very fast! At first he walked very slowly so we could make the pictures - for a moment the hedgie even stood without moving and only his nose was shivering. After the photo session ended, it ran away - I could never suppose that a creature with legs this short can run so fast!
Today (after coming home) I worked on the lotr tube scarf. I'm putting him as an entry for the craft challenge too. I knitted during 3 episodes of xxxHolic and half of the movie Johnny and the Dead. It's very pleasurable knitting this, because it's just a tube and I can knit without stopping, especially now, when I passed the first 2 Fair Island lines (they were pain in the *** to be honest). But now my fingers hurt and I can't continue typing >.<
- to watch 50 movies for an year (started april) - 9/50 anime doesn't count, but cartoon and western animation do . Rewatchings count
- to read 100 books (started march) - 22/100 manga doesn't count. Rereadings do
- to listen 10 000 tracks on last.fm (till april 2010) -3389
- to have 2500 pageviews on DA (till February) - 1118
- to make 2 months of anime watching on AP (till the end of 2009) - 1 month 2 days now
- to finish the craft challenge (no timeline) 3/50/100

The Dawn of the AniManga
The year 2009 shall be remembered as the one, when the brightly coloured anime sun rised at the massmedia. I think all of the fans should celebrate the fact that we now have a bg manga magazine, anime magazine and the first manga volumes has come out too.
Е, естествено, както винаги ги има и недоволниците. Относно тях моето лично, скромно съветче е "Don't like, don't bother with it!" Иначе жива и здрава да е опозицията!
Аз никога не съм успявала да вляза наъъплон в кожата на персонажа на вечно недоволен и търсещ кусури, и като такава съм абсолютно щастлива от появата на бял свят на тези две издания - Shogun и Animania. На мен лично ми харесва стил, с който са написани статиите, а благодарение на ревютата най-сетне се натутках да изгледам Ouran High School Host Club, което бе представено за моя изненада (приятна, много) още в първия брой ^^ И сега единствено съжалявам, че анимето свърши твърде бързо, като се засмях от първия епизод и този РОФЛ продължи до последния. Мога да кажа, че заслугата, че в момента гледам Code Geass отново е на Анимания, защото Люлю е изтипосан на корицатан а трети брой, който още не излязъл. Още няколко души се обясниха в любов към това аниме пред мене и това ме накара да се впусна да гледам аниме, чието име до последно не знаех как да произнеса. Добре де, честно казано, все още имам затруднения - Лелуч или Рурушу? Но мисля, че Люлю е добър компромис :) Единственият удар, който ми нанесе Анимания, бе (не, не беше Лиско, който подронваше основите на здравото ми съзнание още от първата страница на втори брой), а - да, ест - анемичните ръчички стиснали ябълката. Макар че както казах, за мен корицата си остава най-доброто от тази книга. Особено японската корица... ммм да, беше добра.
Така че накратко за себе си мога да определя Animania като катализатор, който ме кара да извадя от Want to watch листа си някои заглавия на анимета, да ги избърша от прахта и най-накрая да ги изгледам.
Относно Shogun - от 5 предложени манга заглавия, на мен ми допаднаха 2, което според мен си е съвсем в реда на нещата. Аз се зарибих по Vairocana и B.B.Project. И което най-много ме изкефи, бе, че доколкото разбрах, тези манги на практика се сериализират само в товя списание - и във френския му еквивалент. Някои хора се оплакват от затъването в мейнстрийма - е тук той напълно отсъства :D Мен си ме радва мисълта, че си купувам и чета манга, която не мога да дръпна просто така от нета. И че чета история, за която нищо не знам. Защото, честно казано, ако трябва да преживея още веднъж перипетиите на Наруто.... мне май ще пропусна.
А мангите на Джудит Парк - ем, да, сюжетът не блести, а на Любовният квадрат на места нишката на здравия разум я позагубвах. Но стилът на рисуване ми харесва, така че това ми предлага най-вече eye candy и простата радост че държа книжка с картинки в ръка. Все пак се надявам да държа така и да се радвам и на Дистопия. Тя си е една от първите ми манга любови все пак.
И като се подредят мангите на Шогуна се получава картинкааа!!! *total happiness*

Tachi, will miss ya! Tachi, will never forget ya!
So, today, I changed tje blog layout. I got the skin from:
And I'm very happy with how it looks! Although there still are things to be done. But I'll be missing the pic of Itachi up there ;( He's been with me since I started the blog, since the very beginning. Nya, poor Tachi, being forgotten by everyone! I still love ya!
*Trying to get out of the fangirlship mood, but that's hard, especially because I watched anime almost whole day. While knitting. A scarf. Big fat winter scarf while it's fraking hot outside but hey, I want it finished for the winter after all!* Strangely, I'm kinda in writing mood now, but better stop because it's 3 after midnight and I really can't be hold responsible for my orthography, what left for the grammar.

I wonder...
This blog is being kinda dead lately. I'm almost not writing here and sometimes I wonder why I'm not giving up on it.
Actually it is a real miracle that it's stil not completely dead as it has turned clear that I'm not the blogging type. I didn't want my blog to be like a copy of my DA. I was planning to post here all the things I made even those I don't post on Da and speak more on them. And write about other things as well. But due to my constant lack of time my perfect plan has failed. And I'm sure not many people are visiting this lost place, Then why, I wonder, I keep on writing in English. I suppose I'm making a lot os mistakes, at least much more than when I'm writing on my own language. But it is also truth that when on the Internet I'm much more on various international sites than on bulgarian. So the chance of someone coming from there is slightly bigger. Stil, lol, I'm curious if I'm having at least ten random visitors per month. Maybe I should consider putting a counter just for the fun.
But even though there are so many points of " Why I shoul give up on blogging" it still is useful sometimes. Like when I neede to post somewhere Kaena-chan's bday present. And I was pretty surprised when I friend praised me on scype about the stuff on my blog. I didn't give her the link, she has found it herself. Ok, that happened only once but I still was happy.
So the final sentence is: the bla-bla blog ( that changed quite a lot names till now) is to continue living. I'll try going a little more lively. That probably means that there will be several posts one after another and then dead silence again. But oh well, however...
