            <title>Me oh my!</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>So it seems I haven't posted in a few days? Which isn't entirely true. I have a meme that I have been working on for a few days. It's been in draft and I still haven't finished it. I dunno? I'm doing some analyzing on it which is probably pointless and that unnecessary, but that's what I'm doing and I guess I ain't posting it till I've done it right. Which still doesn't give me an excuse not to post, so with that here is a little (understatement) update on my life... </p>

<ul>
	<li>Things at <em><strong>work</strong></em> are generally pretty okay. My kids (not my literal kids, the children I look after, I don't have kids as of yet) are generally wonderful and lets say a handful of people I work with I can mostly stand. There have been a few times in the last few days where I just wanted to throw a dirty nappy at certain peoples' faces, but you know, I tend to suppress all my aggressive instincts and just either give them the cold shoulder or my sometimes less obvious (I'm sure), penetrating death stare.</li>
<li> I've managed to get James (brother) and Cheryl (friend and co-worker) hooked on Yiruma (new age classic piano music). Now we have "River Flows In You" on constant repeat during our kids' sleep time and my "ATM" playlist on repeat, blaring (wearily) over our speakers at home when everyone goes to bed in the house. While we're talking about it, <a href="http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=rhN7SG-H-3k">take the time to have a listen</a>, it's worth it.</li>
<li> Loki and I are quite the complicated item. We're technically we're not an item, we're just two people who want this relationship to work as badly as we want our lives to change. I think we're quite anxious about the coming date that we come together. Like the day I step off plane and see him for the first time (properly) in years. We're both quite nervous which may be our own faults. If we had planned this trip together as "just buddies" and tried not to come over that "friend line" so eagerly we probably wouldn't be in this little predicament. We've become somewhat expectant of each other, well no, maybe we're fearing there will be expectations from either side that it's hacking at our nerves as a result. LOL, I know I've come to the point where I'm afraid he's going to take one look at me and decide in that second I'm not what he wanted after all (lovely right?) and that I've wasted his time. *screams* I'm going to have to get over it! Because I am not going to lose him this way, our friendship has survived much worse and I refuse to make a big deal out of something as petty as the "I'm so unpretty" excuse... If things don't work out then they don't, we'll be the best we can be for each other and there's nothing more I can ask for.</li>
<li> My Twilight obsession has reached a new high see below. Yes that's right, I'm digitally enhancing pictures of myself either to "be" with Edward Cullen (the fictional vampire) or being a vampire (mwahaha) and you know I've reached a higher level when I start producing visuals of myself in a world that doesn't exist. Yay!! However on that same note, Kitty and I have managed to spread our Twilight germs to Quinton (LMAO) who now wants nothing more to do after work than read the Twilight Saga and share his thoughts on Cullen hotness and Bella stupidness. *Rubs hands together* Next will be Gem and Nat! Mwahaha!</li>
<li> I am currently also spending some creative time working on layouts for some friends, coincidentally, Gem and Nat. Gem's should be up and running very soon at <a href="http://www.neuroticbutterfly.net">NeuroticButterfly.net</a> with the new layout I've managed to bring forth, setup thanks to <a href="http://www.onebadkitty.net">Kitty</a> of course. I really hope Gem likes what we've done, she really deserves this. The woman has been wanting to blog her heart out for ages, she is after all naturally a creative writer, poet and author! 
And there is Nat's new blog layout as well, which I'll attempt if Kitty is busy, today. I also went ahead and gave Nat a nifty domain name for her new and improved reason to be webGeeky. Please visit <a href="http://www.hamstergirl.com">HamsterGirl.com</a> and just watch this space, it'll eventually be loaded with Nathalie's "mindless drivel" and there's nothing more anticipating than that! *gives Nat love*
</ul>

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nymphamadria/2587653914/" title="Edward Cullen bit me! by Nymphamadria, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3055/2587653914_b2687db4d8.jpg" alt="Edward Cullen bit me!" class="image" height="374" width="500" /></a> </div>

<p>So yeah- cool. I blogged! Though it shouldn't be too long before the next update anyway. And if I get my arse into gear, I'll try to get that damn meme posted. It shouldn't be too hard right? Yet why is it taking me that long to finish? I think I might have lost interest in the analyzing and therefore losing interest in the meme altogether? Meh. The effort has been made- I have to see it through.</p>]]></description>

            <title>Nathalie, Professional Procastinator</title>
            <description><![CDATA[My hamster loving friend Nathalie (the 'h' is silent okay!) has started to blog once again and in doing so gaining me another site to affiliate with. Yay! Please visit: <a href="http://hamstergirlanswers.blogspot.com/">http://hamstergirlanswers.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />I look forward to reading her future entries. Her previous blog (Eternal Sunshine of the Dirty Mind) proved quite entertaining. The content was in high Nathalie-themed sarcastic banter and generally never lacking in comedy and often insight into her wonderful yet modest life (we all have modest lives right?) Also with nothing else to do in our free time, getting back into the <i>blog</i> of things never hurt anyone (well at least anyone that I know of?)<br /><br />So let's all raise our virtual cups and toast to "privacy", may our inner-most-deepest thoughts and general musings of life never be kept secret again!<br /> ]]></description>

            <title>A little disappointed....</title>
            <description><![CDATA[There have been a few things I wanted done by the end of May, but seeing as I have procrastinated I have only myself to blame. How does one stay focused and on track? I have check box lists, I have reminders and I have tiny little voice in my head screaming out to me every so often, telling me there are things to be completed before I go away on this month long trip!<br /><br />Any suggestions on how I can improve myself motivationally? Think of this as some sort of severe, nearly to the point of mental disorder, condition. Be as brutal as you want. <br /> ]]></description>

            <title>JK, HP: HBP, Twilight + Breakin&apos; Dawn</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Just some stuff maybe you didn't already know?<br /><br />J.K Rowling has apparently hand written a little HP Prequel tidbit? All for raising money for a charity no doubt (like the woman needs to write more HP to earn more money?!) This spontaneous piece of magical fiction is set to be based 3 years prior to Harry's birth and involving Sirius Black and James Potter. Interesting? Shyeah! So it's going under the auction hammer very soon and certainly will be raking in the dough. Fortunately for us non-billionaireth people, apparently the tidbit will be available to read in August when a booklet of Authors' spontaneously hand written pieces become available to purchase (booklet includes this HP prequel bit, if I wasn't clear on that). That or when someone kindly types it up for us poor HP malnourished geeks online. <a href="http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/news_view.cfm?id=106">[Source]</a><br /><br />Semi-related news...The WB Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has finished filming. <a href="http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2008/5/22/principle-photography-on-half-blood-prince-completed">According to Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), filming ceased May 17th</a> and in it's process of post production stuff. Which is cool, but they still haven't released a trailer! A Twilight Movie teaser trailer has already been put out and I don't think they've finished filming everything yet? I think. I dunno? Don't quote me on it. HBP TRAILER! FTW! C'MON!<br /><br />Slightly off topic and yet still quite relative, the Twilight Movie is looking too darn sexy for words. It's killing me that apparently <a href="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/05/27/twilight-stars-to-unveil-first-scene-at-movie-awards/">MTV has chosen Twilight as one of the pre-show movie segments before the actual MTV Movie Awards and that they will be previewing a completed scene from the movie</a>!!! <a href="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/05/28/twilight-fans-rejoice-as-mtv-movie-awards-preshow-coverage-goes-international/">Kindly enough MTV have established that the segment will be airing LIVE including on most international MTV channels, <i>including</i> MTV Australia</a>. Yippee right? No! I don't have MTV and when it broadcasts live at 730PM ET SUNDAY 1st June, 2008, that is about 1030AM EST the following day for us in the Oz (MONDAY 2nd of June). The chances I can get off work to watch it on my Aunt's cable is highly unlikely. I suppose it isn't a big deal? I know most Twilight themed sites will no doubt upload the clips online and all I'd have to do is come home for lunch and download everything. It still sucks though- you know, in all the wrong places.<br /><br />Though you know what doesn't suck? Stephenie Meyers. She is the bomb diggitty! <a href="http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20203238,00.html">The woman writes these amazing books and is constantly spoiling her fans with excerpts and snippets of things that have yet to come when she could so just make us wait painfully for August (or whenever Breaking Dawn comes out)</a>. Plus the woman has great taste in music and vampires too I guess. I'm not going to bother myself worrying about whether I'm able to read that spoiling first chapter of Breaking Dawn in the special edition of "Eclipse". August is so close I can almost taste the cold air (reminder location Australia ok) and no doubt while Loki is driving, I'll be READING BREAKING DAWN (and then get all hot and worked up reading about Edward that Loki might have to pull over :p KIDDIN OMG SHUT UP!)<br /> ]]></description>

            <title>Road Trip Back On</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>I'm thankful to say that I <i>will</i> be road trippin' this August. The previously unfortunate cancellation of the trip had me worrying about how the heck I was getting back to Mount Isa after a month's time of being in another state.<br />For those who had no idea I was even going anywhere, here's the short version of it. <br />A friend of mine (<b>code name: Loki</b> - For any privacy issues concerned with the mentioning of said friend's name) and I decided a couple of months ago that we needed to get away, have a long deserved holiday/break from our tragically depressing lives (hah). A road trip along the east coast of Oz became the initial plan and we had already started planning, however, due to circumstances out of our control the trip was henceforth cancelled. <b>Now it's all good! </b>Things have been sorted out and both Loki and I are able to go ahead with this.</p><p>When we both decided the first time that this was what we wanted, I was determined and excited and all things happy. That was literally 3 months ago. My adventure starts at the end of July, which scarily enough is only a few weeks away. I'm still excited, just jittery now. Most times I have to concentrate on breathing because this whole thing overwhelms me. This is big for me. I guess from an outsiders perspective I would look kind of silly being all worried and all, but trust me, if knowing me at all? I'm feeling a tad bit paranoid. I have no idea why though. Actually that's not true, there are some obvious things to worry about when going on a severely long road trip over three states. But am I really nervous about the trip so much as to what will happen between Loki and I during this wild escapade of outdoor adventure? We should be fine. We've been through worse. (LAUGHS OUT LOUD!)<br /></p>]]></description>

            <title>Radio Blog Addition + Blue October</title>
            <description><![CDATA[After a painful hour of trying to configure my radio blog right, I can finally breathe normally! It's up and sitting to your left. Yay. It's purdy.<br /><br />The track listing on there is my current playlist on Winamp at the moment. The most recent musical development would be "Into the Ocean by Blue October". It's a great track! Hand picked out by Stephenie Meyers when she was being interviewed on The Buzz, a Portland radio station [<a href="http://www.twilightlexiconblog.com/?p=962">Article</a>]. I'm quite taken with the song (and the band) and I think I might go ahead and purchase their album.<br /><br />So yeah, have a listen (if you haven't already?) and let me know what you think?<br /> ]]></description>

            <title>Happy Birthday Bianca</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nymphamadria/2520116135/" title="Dark Chocolate Mud Cake by Nymphamadria, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2410/2520116135_ac00d1c1da_m.jpg" alt="Dark Chocolate Mud Cake" height="211" width="240" /></a><br /></div><br />
Yesterday was my cousin Bianca's 15th birthday. It would have been her first birthday celebration in Australia so I thought I would do something special, something a little extra to make her feel at home. I baked. A cake. A very nice cake actually. Baked, shaped, iced and everything! I was quite pleased with how it turned out and even though I'm not a <em>huge</em> fan of "Dark Chocolate", this cake was wickedly delicious!
<br />
Thankfully everyone enjoyed it. Well they better had! Baking it was fun but sometimes frustrating and my brother James nearly decked me when I had become overly-frantic about how my first attempt at the icing went. Bloody ridiculous! But as you can see, I came through.<br /><br />
<strong>Happy Birthday Bi-Bi Bianca! Love you long time!</strong>]]></description>

            <title>Unavoidable</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Okay, here I go.<br /><br />I promised Kitty that I would post something about my latest fantardish obsession on my blog. I was hoping to avoid doing so because I thought by finally blogging about it, I would be admitting to myself utter defeat. However as it turns out a fictional concept has taken hold me (again) and I can't seem to shake it. I'm obsessed.<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://www.sixpastmidnight.com/spm/picture.php?albumid=9&amp;pictureid=105" border="0" /><br /></div><br />I guess I could just completely lay the blame on Kitty (like I have been doing everywhere else) but realistically she just adjusted me into a certain direction and I only have myself to blame for throwing my whole self into it. In my defense- I too (like many foolish girls out there) fell in love with Edward Cullen and it's very hard not to want to know everything about him. Yeah, yeah! I know, it's pathetic! But I can't help it and just like others like me it's hard to stop the inevitable, the guy is dazzling, even for a fictional character.<br />The author of the Twilight series, Stephenie Meyer, is pretty indulgent though. She spoils us "Twilighters" more than we probably deserve. Spoils as in "over indulging in information and extra extras". Which I love by the way. I dare not complain, just in case my words of defiance cause some jinx-iee vibrations and Meyers ceases in the "spoiling" (GOD FORBID).<br /><br />So anyway, the likely chance I go all out on this Twilight hype via this blog, is almost a severe certainty. However don't be afraid to give me a good online slapping back to reality. You never know? I might thank you one day for it.<br /> ]]></description>

            <title>Slowly and Gradually</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>I'm blogging again. <span class="caps">SHOCK AND AWE. </span>ok? Over it already? Let's move on.<br /><br />Thanks to my lovely <a href="http://www.flickr.com/"><span class="caps">FLICKR</span></a> pro account and a daily work out routine- my self image confidence has kind of slowly budded back into life. I'm not saying my daily work out has got me looking oh so fabulous in 2 months (lol I wish), but that I'm obviously feeling some sort of relief if I've started taking more pictures of myself again.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nymphamadria/2515449177/" title="Self Portrait BW by Nymphamadria, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3280/2515449177_e41dab72df_m.jpg" alt="Self Portrait BW" height="240" width="180" align="left" style="padding:5px;margin:5px;background-color:#fff;" /></a>
<br />I'm trying to concentrate on turning my vain hobby into something less webcam-like and more arty portrait-like. I figure if I'm gunna do this regularly again, I may as well do it with the creative flair I had intended for them to possess. <br /><br />I do realise that I do have my own gallery, but until I can find some sort of uploading client for coppermine, I'm sticking to over flowing my flickr account with as many photos as I possibly can and whatever. The nymphamadria gallery is kind of my last resort anyway and mostly contains certain images and graphics I am collecting and that aren't really mine to own. Flickr and DeviantArt would have more of my own work on it's galleries (not a lot, but there none-the-less).<br /><br /><br /></p>]]></description>

            <title>Update (Like OMFG, right?)</title>
            <description><![CDATA[What's new?<br /><ul><li>A renewed domain name</li><li>A renewed layout design (something I had laying about in the web-closet)</li><li>A renewed motivation to update<br /></li></ul>I honestly don't know when was the last time I had actually took some real time for my geeky-self and formed any sort of motivation to work on any of my sites? Alright, that sounds pretty bad, but it's true. With that of course I thought figuring out this new MT was going to be the death of me and yet, it didn't turn out that bad. Actually come to think of it, it's a pretty straight forward thing to set up and I do feel a little silly after all that.<br /><br />So anyway, <b>welcome back to nymphamadria.com</b>! The personal space of "the crazy hobbit girl"...<br /><br />On a sad note, I haven't really advanced in any way, web-wise, so I haven't really got anything <i>very</i> interesting or interactive for you on this site (well nothing more than usual). Not that any parties on either side really give a hoot. Like really, were <i>you</i> expecting anything more than what this is?<br /><br />Many thanks to: <a href="http://meow.onebadkitty.net/">Kitty</a> for her infinite patience. (I really do need a good ass wooping).<br />The usual gang: Gem, Quinton, Andy and Nat - Why? Because without all these folks I wouldn't have wanted to stay connected as long as I have. Thank you for the unconditional friendship (losers)! :p<br /><br /><br /> ]]></description>
