Okay, here’s my review of Bouncegrrrl has a ball for the P2P Blog Review…
She’s very witty but cynical. Obviously older than teenage, because she writes with some experienced sarcasm at the world. Very amusing how she names all the characters in her blog without actually giving their names; a wise move if you ask me.

There’s not all that much there in terms of content; there is a link to the guestbook, which is sparsely (but sweetly) commented, and the obligatory link to blogger.com. Sounds like this is the latest in a line of experimental web diaries, hopefully this one will continue in better shape and spirits than her previous attempts. The choice of links can show a lot about a person; maybe she’s intensely private and doesn’t want to give anyone any ideas; but then why write a blog?

Regularly updated this blog is not, and it’s quite new. There was about one update a month for a while, and more, now, but the entries that are there are quite dense and interesting. There aren’t any quiz results or daily random ruminations, which is fine, but there’s not much to keep you coming back. But then again, it seems like this is not a blog that’s meant to be very widely distributed. Just a way to put down her feelings occasionally. Is it meant as a release? Go for it then.

Overall I liked what was written; it was personal and funny, sometimes scathingly so. It’s always interesting to get a glimpse into someone’s life, even if it is a small one.
I wonder who had mine? Sure would be nice if you’d comment here on the blog 🙂 Hope you liked it!

Alright! 87, baby! Older than average. And in August! What more could you ask for? *whistles* other than being an elf, and thus immortal…

Etoiline (12:24 AM): started pressing the change return button

Etoiline (12:24 AM): he didn’t really think anything would happen

Etoiline (12:24 AM): and suddenly it started giving back all 38.25

Etoiline (12:25 AM): until there was no change left in the machine

Etoiline (12:25 AM): it just kept clicking until it would have given out all of it

Etoiline (12:25 AM): and everyone started gathering around

Etoiline (12:25 AM): it was hilarious!

Aratlithiel (12:25 AM): oh my goodness

Aratlithiel (12:25 AM): who kept the money?

Aratlithiel (12:25 AM): hahah

Etoiline (12:25 AM): well, I did get a free soda out of it

Etoiline (12:26 AM): we grabbed the change from the slot so it wouldn’t get clogged and put it on top of the machine

Etoiline (12:26 AM): it was of course all gone when we came back from lunch

Etoiline (12:26 AM): we couldn’t stop laughing

Aratlithiel (12:26 AM): hahah

Aratlithiel (12:26 AM): not all people are honest

Aratlithiel (12:26 AM): that was funny

Etoiline (12:27 AM): but that thing had to be messed up

Etoiline (12:27 AM): cause who would a) put $40 into a vending machine in the first place, and/or b) then forget it?

Etoiline (12:27 AM): and later when we walked by it said 7.55

Aratlithiel (12:27 AM): I know

Aratlithiel (12:28 AM): that would be very retarded

Etoiline (12:28 AM): and my other partner Sarah pushed the button and it started clicking

Aratlithiel (12:28 AM): yeah it had to have been messed up

Etoiline (12:28 AM): someone had put a sign up that said “machine is dead, do not use” lol

You have an accurate precise weapon!

You are a ‘bare all’ type person and classical. You love yourself the most. You are romantic and fall in and out of crushes slowly. Your life will be beautiful but sometimes thorny. Sarah is your lucky star and you will become very close friends with Noah. It will take you 7 times to find your true love and you will have a fast-paced wedding.

The Desert Test

Congratulations! The two of you made it out of the desert!

Based on Japanese Archetypes the desert represents a hardship. Each of the animals represents an aspect of your life. The order in which you sacrifice the animals might be said to represent the importance of these things to you. The one that you sacrificed first is the least important, and the one that you kept is the most important.

1 You sacrificed the Monkey. The Monkey represents your children.

2 You sacrificed the Sheep. The Sheep represents friendship.

3 You sacrificed the Lion. The Lion represents pride.

4 You sacrificed the Cow. The Cow represents basic needs.

5 You kept the Horse. The Horse represents your passion.

1. What are the first things that you do in the morning to start your day? Get up or maybe hit the snooze… call the weather line so I know how to dress… actually dress… hop on the internet to see if anyone loves me (aka sent me email)

2. What are the last things that you do at night before going to bed?Shower. Brosse des dents. turn down the AC, turn out the lights, lock the suite door, brush my hair, set my alarm, read something.

3. What daily routine have you recently added to your day? Checking FF in the morning. Gotta see the OT arrows posts.

4. What routine do you wish you get rid of? I don’t really wish i could get rid of it, but the FF obsession is quite time-consuming!

5. What’s the one thing that makes you feel like something is missing if you don’t do it some point within your day? Read something. I hate to eat lunch by myself unless I have something to read, and reading helps me go to sleep.

I know, I know, I didn’t manage to do this on Friday. I almost made it, I’m only 8 minutes late…
