The organisation of the DVD collection

My dear readers,


This is the second update in the new year. So a few days ago I decided to organize my DVDs. And you may be thinking, that's not so hard. Well, to be honest, it is for me. I have almost 260 DVDs. No, maybe more, I've not checked everywhere, but they where all stacked neatly in cabinets made for them and a gigantic closet. But every time I searched for one, I could not find it. The longest search I had was about an hour and I was looking for a Harry Potter. So now, I have decided to organize my DVD collection. And I did it as this. I first took out all the DVD's. Saw if the boxes where filled (which where not in 12 of the cases) and then wrote them down in Excel. 


Then I decided what genre I wanted to put them in. You see if you have a movie like Harry Potter, what genre would it fit? Well, It would fit Drama, Fantasy, Family and Romance. But I put them in Fantasy and in stead of writing down for example; Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I wrote Harry Potter 1, Harry Potter 2, Harry Potter 3 etc. and for the last two movies I did Harry Potter 7.1 and Harry Potter 7.2. 


Not only will this make it easier for me to find out where I've hidden away my movies, it will make it easier for my friends and family to search one out, when they are here, if I told them; "Well, there is the romance section, and over here, that's horror." And if they did want to borrow one, well, I would write their names on the excel list, so I would know which person has which movie! It's easy. Maybe I will even make pictures and show them to you. Can't promise, but it is something I am very proud of.


Love,


Aledawn

2011 in a nutshell from me and my good intentions for 2012

Happy New Year! I wish you all the best, love, joy, health and happiness you can cope with. 


So to not make this post extremely long and boring, I will sum up 2011 in a nutshell making little dots and notes where I feel I should mention something. 

• I started a new school - doing the lesson pack for secretary.
• Started VERS training (to cope with my emotions etc.)
• I did not once try to kill myself (Giant Highlight)
• I fell in love 3 times. (One did not work out, one I'm still dating and the other was a big mistake.)
• I bought an E-reader.
• I found out I have fibromyalgia.
• I did not win any big prize money.
• I found out I am happy being me.
• I started writing, sometimes big pieces sometimes nothing at all.
• 
  

Now for my good intentions for the year 2012. I have decided to read more, to write more, to have more fun. To at last quit smoking and to lose some weight.

I wish there would be more to say but for now, I''ll leave it at this.

Driving home from the parking lot

I have been driving today. Not far and not even in a real car - but it was very much fun to do. My friend, R. has a car that can only go 45 kmph - and he let me drive a round around the parking lot at our back. He's my neighbor from 4 up. We had C.'s dog Freddie and my dog Princess in the back of the car and the nerve's where spiraling out of control. But I did it. I drove! It felt amazing and it wasn't even illegal. He told me I could 'practice' driving in his car until I was going to start up for my real driver's licence. And actually there is not much more to note to you right now. Except for the fact i'm still pretty mad at Dave (my "boyfriend") for not calling me and not responding to any of my text' or calls.


Love,


Aledawn


P.s. it's cold in here.

Three new pairs of shoes - Glee and the meeting

Today, the fifth of December - my very good friend C. gave me three pairs of shoes. It's so sweet of her - though she wore them a few times, I can't say no to good shoes that fit me. Awesome that we have the same shoe size... I totally love them - the shoes - I'm wondering what Dave thinks about them - the shoes - and about the fantastic gift of my friend C. 


I promised to 'babysit' her dog, Freddie, next Saturday. Not really looking forward to it -but a promise is a promise. I'm currently on the way to watch the season final of Glee season 2. Tomorrow at 8.30 pm starts season 3 of Glee on our national cable station.


I also just heard my to be 'mother-in-law' is coming to school for a conversation with Dave and some people - SCARY! seriously, it's terrifying me. Especially for me, seeing as they need to be there by about 8.30 and usually i'm at school at about 8 pm - I can't skip school and Dave promised me I would meet her - yeah - not really - as I said before - SCARY! TERRIFYING!  HORRIBLE! For me it would be like a horror movie nightmare where you find you can't run - you can't hide and the only thing you have to do is stick through it, until the very end. 

I Love This!

The Smell Of Joy

Life as I knew it totally changed. I found myself being gloating with happiness and joy. I would wake up in the morning, early, and ready for school. I am getting amazingly good grades. Which is amazing, even for me. I mean, especially for me. I usually fail in almost everything, most of the time, lagging behind in school work. Still I would wish that I would get some of my inspiration back. It sucks not to be able to have good dreams and write about them. Most of the time now, I would be to tired to dream - as is normal for me - and when I go to bed, I fall asleep at once. Actually, because everything goes so well, I have little to mention. I got the new Nightwish album - I love it! Also i'm trying to concentrate on Harry Potter a little more, just to write some fan fiction. Or to continue Dark Star. But as I mentioned above, it just does not work. 

Love, Aledawn.

P.s. Information about my Boyfriend is behind the break!

The Death of Innocence

I've been busy alright - though sometimes I feel like I might be used for things - babysit my children, babysit my dog. Buy me diner - etc. But no more. This is the end of it! No more innocent little miss nice. I'm gonna be honest about my feelings, so I painted my nails black and watch True Blood with a bucket of Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough. And after that, I'll fall asleep with an empty feeling of loneliness. It's wonderful - especially when I know i'm gonna have the half day of tomorrow!
