will you be my valentine?

I had a lot of lurve to share today.

First and foremost, with my family, without whom I wouldn't be able to survive. I love you guys!

Secondly my friends, the worst, the best, and those with whom I have a shaky relationship with...they have all been my friends at some point, and so I love them too.

Third, to all my readers! I lurve you all dearly! Thanks for being so kind and supporting my blog till now.

A month ago, I went to the library and checked out a book called Blushing, and it is so cute! It is basically a compilation of love notes and poems and reading through them makes you...well...blush :)

Here is my favorite from the whole book, it is a love letter:

"Francis Darling,
Have you heard that I love you? I'm not sure that I made it clear to you, and I don't want any misunderstanding. It's such a young love yet -- just nine and a half months old, born November13th 1928 at about nine o'clock in the evening. [...] But tell me something before I leave. I was told tonight on what seemed to me the best authority that you are fond of me. Con you confirm this rumor.
Then there's another problem. As long as I'm thinking about you, I can't go to sleep; and I'd rather think about you than go to sleep; how am I to sleep?
[...] Good night. I've just sent St. Joseph off to watch you on the train; he has promised that he will do his duty like an honest saint.
I do love you.
Ogden"

Happy Valentine's Day!

So tell me what you did for V-Day!
I would love to hear all your stories :)

bad, lise! bad!

*cough* *cough* *COUGH* *COUGH*

I am so sorry my loverlies. I am terribly sick.

*ACHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!*

But first, I must thank all of my readers for being sho shweet and wishing me luck on my midterms...they all went very well except for the last two because I had a fever during those last two exams. My immune system is fairly strong, but the one time that it seems to lose a bit of its strength I pay the price. And when I get ill, my eyes start to water, and because of my stupidly teary eyes, I couldn't see the exam papers, and couldn't focus because I was coughing and sneezing, and blowing my nose so much, and not to mention the pounding headache, and my hand was shaking and...you get the picture.

So, other than that, thanks to your kind wishes, things were good :)

I send L<3ve to you all!!!!!

Anyways, because of my absence, I was unable to properly thank some very special people...

Loverly Jenna of Oh, Bother and sweet Indie Tea of Darjeeling Dreams tagged/awarded me with the

*drumroll*

AWARD!!!
yay!
Thank you so much!

Anyways, so I need to state 10 honest facts about myself ^_^ and then tag 7 bloggers...

So let us begin with the 10 honest facts things, shall we?

1. This one could be considered *gasp*-worthy, or just, an *oh, i knew that* sorta thang, but i am going to tell you about it anyways...Sammi-Lise is not my real name. *CUE GASP* It is a pseudonym I came up with only because I didn't want to put my true name down at first. But, now it is too late to change it, and I sort of like it ^_^ I apologize to everyone who thought I really was a Sammi-Lise, but to make you feel better, it is not entirely a lie (~.~) Sammi is my nickname, and Lise is my French name, so...yea. No, my name is not Samantha, although that is a lovely name :)
2. My neighbors don't like me because I am "too hyper."
   Their children told me so.
3. I hate phonies. I probably mentioned that already in another post, but yea.
   
4. I wish more people would read my other blog. I need the feedback. Take a look at the sidebar. ---------------------------------------------------------------->
   
5. I *GASP...again* was considering not blogging ever again the other day. I have no idea why. Actually, I was probably going dillusional. I was ill. You can't blame me. And no, I am not leaving the blog world any time in the near future.
6. I want sushi. NOW.
7. I have taken the original one with the "snobby bloggers" out, because I felt it was too mean of me. I am sorry to anyone I already offended. I feel like a horrid person. I don't really think anyone is snobby, I was just feeling a little crabby when I posted that. The thing is, I usually expect something in response when I comment on people's blogs, and most people are kind enough to take the time to respond. And when people don't respond, I get a bit angry, and let down, but it only lasts for like a day, and then it is gone ^_^ I realize that some people may not have the time, or as The Clothes Horse put it, some people see their blog as "a site" and don't neessarily want to communicate with people. I totally understand now, thank you for the explanation Clothes Horse :) I feel like a better person. Anyways, I have a new fact: I suffer from the fear of losing everyone I love, and hold dear to my heart.
8. I have been putting off making a package for two special people. I am sooo sooo sooooo sorry Cait and Emily! I shall send them to you ASAP! (maybe in a month or so? I need to get things organized first.)
9. I have to admit that this tag is getting hard.
10. I have a thing against online role-playing games. If you play them, don't take this personally, it is only my opinion, and there are loads of other people who love them. I am probably the odd one out.
    

Now to list 7 lucky bloggers who must get this award!

Enjoy!

I must go now....dance class. I feel like this post is incomplete, which it probably is, but I am too tired. I must go. BYE.

she's got a body like an hourglass...

yo.
Ok, so maybe "yo" is not my thang. Maybe "thang" ain't either. Fine, I'll drop the ain't. Ok, I am finished.

Anyways, that was just a random, sporadic (yes that was redundant), hyper, weirdo outburst. I have them sometimes.

Well, I don't have much time this week, with extra long dance lessons, the Alchemists (our school's theater company thing) going crazy about Theater Revue, and make-up singing lessons. And oh yeah, that one thing that we call school. It is such a pain.

Bottom line is, I did update bittersweet whim, since it has been over a month or so, and would absolutively lurve it if you were oh so kind enough to GO there, and share your comments. I need all the feedback I can get.

So head on over, NOW.

please?

listening to:
everything i ask for -- the maine
the adventure -- angels and airwaves
helena -- mcr

a peek into the mind of lise...

Ok
So I finally found time to answer these loverly, and actually quite interesting, questions that everyone has been asking me. Of course, you can still keep asking me questions, but it just wont be answered in a formal post like this one. It will be answered though, just randomly...hope you don't mind. ^_^

Some of the questions I did not answer for privacy purposes, but I will gladly email you the answer....if you don't mind. So, if you find that I have not answered your question, leave your email address and I will get back to you on that.

Alright then, off to the Q's :

Which came first the chicken or the egg?
Hmm...what should I say. This is a very controversial topic, in my opinion, but I believe that the egg came first. I mean, sure, the chicken had to lay the egg, but where did that chicken come from? An egg, no? Well then, there is your answer...
Wait, then, that chicken that egg had to come from somewhere too, so is the answer a chicken? I dunno, what do you all think of this...very difficult...question?

Who is your ultimate style icon?
Um...I don't have one. I just get inspired by fellow bloggers, street style sites, and certain eras, like the hippie times. Sorry for the bad answer...but really, I do not have a style icon, I just like to be myself. I know that was cliché but, it is true!

Why do you blog and for whom do you blog?
I blog because no one that I know listens to me, and I need to let my thoughts out, or I will explode. So I write things down. And since blogging is more convenient, I post my thoughts, ideas, feelings, etc. I don't really blog for anyone. I blog for myself, for my own satisfaction. The only reason I apologize for not posting in a while and whatnot is because I have a few readers who are truly kind enough to bear with me while I rant, and actually sometimes like it. So just in case people are disappointed, I doubt it though, that I have not rambled about nonsense for a while, I apologize. Other than that, I blog for myself, and anyone who wants to listen to me talk.

What book/song/movie has affected you the most, and why?
Great question. I think that I have been most affected by the movie V for Vendetta, way to awesome to describe. It just showed me how corrupt politics, and the world can really be. As for the song, I have to say "A Lonely September" by Plain White Ts is very dear to my heart. Not only is it a great song, but the lyrics speak to me. The entire song, except for maybe two lines at most, depicts things that have happened to me. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is the one book that touched me the most. i never really sympathized with a character that much before, not even (*gasp*) the characters from Harry Potter. The ending brought tears to my eyes.

What cheers you up when you are feeling blue?
There are a lot of things that cheer me up when I am feeling down. Music is definitely one, just as long as it is not a depressing song that I am listening to. I love to sing when I feel upset, it just lifts my spirits. But I must warn you, if you happen to be strolling along while I am singing, please do not sue me for any bodily injuries that occur. It is not my fault I sing so horribly that your ear drums break, or you get into an accident, or whatever. Maybe it is just your bad luck.
^_^
Another thing I do to make me feel a little happier is daydream. I love to daydream about dancing and twirling on a hill of candy grass, singing while the cotton candy sheep bloat away, adorable little cows moo to their hearts' content, and white, fluffy, marshmallow clouds float above my head. Another dream is the one that I mentioned here and here.
Going to dance class also cheers me up. There is something about that pain, the sweaty smell, the complicated routines that just hypes me up.
And how could I forget eating gummi bears? It is my favorite cheer-myself-up activity!

Well, I hope that I answered your questions satisfactorily, just tell me if I didn't.

I will get back to normal posting soon enough, especially since a holiday break for Thanksgiving is coming up.

P.S. I had the most amazingly funny, yet stomach tingling dream ever. In fact it was so wonderful, it inspired me to write about it...maybe I will...
