I just realised I haven't shown you guys my new tattoo...

...so here it is:
My right forearm lookin' all cool :P
Excuse the scabbiness of my arm. Here is was only a few days old.

Taken yesterday. My arm is now cured! Click to enlarge.

Story behind it: I'm a Harry Potter fan, always have been, always will be. So of course my first tattoo had to be HP-releated. I love Hermione, she's my favourite female character, so when thinking about what I was going to get, I started googling and this pic came up, and I just fell in love with it:

Love this tat. It must have really hurt!
So, I knew I had to get Hermione's wand tattooed. And then I had the idea to put my brothers in there too; since we all love HP, and I love all three of them (HP's world and my two little brothers) it made perfect sense to me.

I am in love with my forearm. We've been dating for the past two months, and I think I'm ready to make a serious commitment with it, you guys.

This is my first (of many) tattoos. I already know what I'm getting next, and have started saving for it. But I have to wait to get it done, to let the shock of this one wear off of my parents' minds! I'm aiming for a sleeved arm... maybe I'll get there with the years.

I'm bored, yes

So I took the "Which True Blood Character Are You?" Quiz
And I got Sookie!

Sookie was the youngest of two children. Sookie's mind-reading ability was apparent from birth, though most people refused to acknowledge that she was able to literally read minds. Her telepathic powers manifested as a child, and it is indicated in the books that her parents thought she may have been subject to a mental illness, and was treated as such. However, Sookie does tell of one point when her father asked her to "listen" in on a business meeting to discern the true intentions of another person. She told her father the man was intending to take his money and run. Her parents died when she was 7 years old, leaving her and her older brother Jason to be raised by her grandmother.

You are a very strong person and take things as they come, you only worry when you have to and you try to make the best of everything. What people say doesn't get to you.


Take the quiz yourself!

Happy B-Day Hilarie! (and my fav book, Dandelion Wine)

A day like today, in 1982, the lovely Hilarie Burton was born.
From my little corner of the world,
I send you a
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
And may you find what you're looking for at the end of the road.

******
I dunno if I had ever told you, but I have a book that I love very much.
It's not my favourite book of
all times, cause I still have a lot of books to read,
but it's my favourite so far.
And today I found out that it's Hil's fav book too!
That book is
Dandelion Wine, by Ray Bradbury.
(if you've been following me for a while you know I
heart RB)

This is a vlog where Hil shares a bit of the book with us.
Her expresions are perfect, she makes a wonderful Tom and Doug
(Tom is my fav character, by the way).



This is one of my favourite passages of the book,
but since my book is in Spanish, I'm translating here.
Hope I don't mess it up.

"A day like today," whispered Douglas, "I feel like I'm gonna be... alone."
"If you need help," said Tom, "just scream."
"What could a ten-year-old brother do?"
"A ten-year-old brother will be eleven next year. I will unravel the world like the band of a golf ball every morning, and put it back every night. I'll show you how, if you want to."
"You're crazy."
"Always have been," Tom crossed his eyes and pulled out his tongue, "always will be."

Hope you liked it!
If you haven't read Dandelion Wine, please do!
You'll love it ;o)

xo,

Monday Games


Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about library borrowing…

Do you restrict yourself on how many books you take out from the library at a time? Do you borrow books if you already have some out? Do you always reborrow books you don’t get to?

I don't really go to the library. I would if they had more recent books, but the ones they have in my local library are old and don't call out to me.
They do have some new books, but new means last-year-books.
I haven't gone there in a while, perhaps I should go one more time, and see what new book they have.

When I do take books out, I usually borrow one or two. I read in the evenings, or if I've got nothing else to do, in the afternoons. I like reading in bed, especially when I'm too awake, and I know reading will make me fall asleep.
But if I'm way too hooked on the book, I'll read it any chance I can get.

-Musing Monday is hosted by Rebecca at Just One More Page-

What are you reading on Mondays? is hosted by J. Kaye Book Blog to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week.

This week I'm reading Someone Like You by Sarah Dressen, I'm loving this book and can't wait to read the end of it, but it's an e-book and my head is not functioning very well today, so I'm technically not reading this.

Also, I'm reading Betrayed by PC and Kristin Cast, I love Marked, and I'm on the 4th chapter of this book, but Sarah's SLY has me hooked!

And I'm listening to the Audiobook of The Kite Runner. I've heard this is an awesome book, and since I found this audiobook through legal channels, I thought I should give it a try. This is the 1st Audiobook I've heard!

My Favourite Supernatural Character...


... is Hermione Granger!
I've always liked her, even at first, when she was a bit annoying and had no friends, I understood her. I also "grew up" with her -Movie Hermione was 11 when I was 11 too, then 12 when I was 12, and so on... except for this year, when I'm 17 and she'll be 16.
I fell in love with her(in a good way) because of her strong character and determination, which is like the way I am.
She likes to be right all the time, and so do I. Most of the time she is, and I am too. But the thing I like most about her is that she always protects her friends. Even if that means breaking the rules she loves so much.

And the most important thing: she's a WITCH! How cool is that? She gets to perform all these neat spells and brew all of those fantastic potions, she knows more about the magical world than someone who is from a magical family. Her knowledge is very important when it comes to solving mysteries and helping her friends through difficult times.
She's the greatest witch of her age! And she gets to be with Ron, whom I love -more than Harry, sometimes I want to punch Harry in the face for being so dumb. But that's beside the point.

So, there you go Shesten, this is my favourite supernatural character of all time! It wasn't as hard to choose her as I thought it would be :)

PH Results, Music, Books and my LDSs

I ended up 6th! (tied with Jutta and Bradie). yay!!! It was so much fun, I'm thinking on participating again in June :)
***

So, last weekend I went to Bahía to visit my grandma and to try to find The Pillowman. Well, I didn't find it, but I had a great time there, I love going to visit my Abu.
Instead of getting TP, I bought 4 other books:
*Hamlet (for school, I had to finish it by tomorrow, which I will not),
*Eva Luna, by Isabel Allende,
*Let's all kill Constance, by Ray Bradbury
*and The Martian Chronicles, also by RB.

The only one I'm reading right now is Hamlet, because I had begun reading The heart is lonely Hunter last week, so 1st I need to finish those two, before I can start reading the others. I love buying books, my goal is to grow old around them. If someone recommends a book, I won't borrow it, I'll save the money and get it for myself. I dream of bookshelves that go up to the ceilings, filled with books. The same goes for my music and films. I usually download (don't judge me over this yet) an album, I love finding new music. Then I listen to it, to see if I like it. If I do, I buy the original album. I believe in supporting the artist and the music industry, but albums here in Arg. don't cost the same as in, for example, the US. This is because of the money exchange, what in the US costs us$10, here it costs the triple. So, if I think that the artist is doing things right, and if the music calls out to me, I will buy the album, although it may cost me 40 pesos.
I currently own: 58 books and 45 albums. Plus the albums I have in my computer.
There are some bands and artists that are unknown here, and that I was able to find through OTH, SGP, Gossip Girl, and my many blogging friends from all over the world.
A few months ago I went to (in Bs As, I think) Musimundo -a really big music store in Arg.- and asked for Jack's Mannequin's 2 latest albums. The guy whom assisted me, for I couldn't find the albums on the shelves, frowned and I knew he'd never heard of JM before. He searched in his computer, and then he told me that they didn't have that band's music. Then I asked: Taylor Swift? Another no. The National? Nope. The Honorary Title? No yet again. The Fray? No. Kate Voegele? Big NO. What a surprise. They even asked me if I had the names right.
I'll have to wait until they get here.

So I couldn't buy TP, but Elise may lend it to me. yay! I hope she can, if not could someone scan it and post it online? I can't even find the e-Book. I think it doesn't want me to read it. :P
****

Yesterday my LDSs were home for a Mates, Pastafrola and Jodete afternoon (Jodete is played with poker cards and it's our UNO).
We had a great day, we played cards, we had mate, we laughed at Deb... lol

My Favourite 7 Things

So, I "stole" this from Remember Moments, with her permission, so maybe it wasn't stealing, but borrowing thw idea...

My 7 favorite things (right now) are (in random order):

1) Sleeping. I love to take a nap every day (if I can).

2) Reading. If you give me money, I'll most likely spend it on books. Just last weekend I bought 2 Ray Bradbury books and an Isabel Allende one. And last month, I bought The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.

3) Going to new places. London and Wilmington top my list of "Places to go before I kick the bucket".

4) Taking photos, just for fun. I take my camera almost everywhere, and I see a potential picture in everything.

5) Internet of course. Without it I would have no blog and no blogging friends.

6) Music. I don't know how I would live without it.

7) Writing. I recently finished my Fan Fiction, Forbidden Love, and I'm planning to write another one. And I love writing short stories (The Broken Children), I don't see myself writing long novels or stuff like that.

Now, what are your favourite 7 things?

I'm a RED!

Reds (Motive: Power)

Reds are motivated by Power. They seek productivity and need to look good to others. Simply stated, reds want their own way. They like to be in the driver's seat and willingly pay the price to be in a leadership role. reds value whatever gets them ahead in life, whether it be in their careers, school endeavors, or personal life. What reds value, they get done. They are often workaholics. They will, however, resist doing anything that doesn't interest them.

Reds like to be right. They value approval from others for their intelligence and practical approach to life, and want to be respected for it. reds are confident, proactive, and visionary; and but can also be arrogant, selfish, and insensitive. When you deal with a RED, be precise, factual, direct, AND show no fear!


All true...

xo, Ella

Indian Dances, Forbidden Love and Austin's bday!


First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. NICHOLS!
I do hope you have a great day! Look forward to seeing you in "Pedestrian"!

***

Secondly, Forbidden Love is officially FINISHED!
For those of you who are not familiar with this, FL is a Fan Fiction I was writing, until this Wednesday, when I completed it! YAY! A bunch of people followed it, and it was their positive feedback what kept me going. Knowing that they liked what I wrote, and that they wanted to hear more, was (and still is) an amazing feeling. So, I think I can -kind of- relate to SGP. It's our support one of the most important -if not THE most important- things they need to keep on going. Even if you leave a short comment on their blog, telling them that they're doing it right, I'm sure they'll know how to appreciate it. It's those small things what brighten our day :)

Go here to read Forbidden Love.

***

And lastly, today in Chat it was OT Friday, or Random... and we got to talking about dancing.
Indian dances, mostly.
I truly admire those dancers, they can sure move!
