Semi-friends only.
In this journal I talk about the things I've done, the things I will do and the things I want to do. I also tend to fangirl about the beautiful game or other sports, my favourite TV shows and awesome people. If we have something in common, comment and add me, I like meeting new people.

Okay, maybe it's just me, but I find this damn amusing.

And it's my favourite commentator today! I wish he would commentate on MU games as well, he is the best in Hungary. He calls Schweinsteiger Schweini and he usually says things like: "Well, Valdez didn't have much to do today, in the second half he could have read a newspaper or take his dog for a walk."




I think I miss Dead like me the most. That is my 'mostest favouritest' TV show and it's such a shame it was cancelled. It was funny and serious, clever and silly, incredibly witty, incredibly original and just the type of show that makes you laugh and cry at the same time. Brilliant. Hey, it was created by Bryan Fuller, what did you think? :D

Shows I also miss: Firefly, Wonderwalls, Angel, Veronica Mars (though I didn't really like the second half of season 3). Oh, and I've watched the first episode of Pushing Daisies the other day and I know already that I'm going to miss that too.

I've been neglecting LJ for some time, but I'll really try not to do that anymore. It's just that a whole lot of shitty things happened all at once and I didn't feel like going on LJ.

City vs MU is on, which means I'm multitasking again, I still have a History essay to write, 15 lines in English on Hitler and the reasons why there was so little resistance to his rule in Nazi Germany. Fascinating, no? It would be actually, I'm just not in the mood right now.
God, not again, annoying commentator is annoying, he tries to pronounce all the names properly in English, but he fails miserably almost every time and he can't even speak Hungarian normally (dropping certain letters, which makes him sound like some uneducated arse from the countryside (I almost typed Countrycide XD), not that I have anything against people not living in cities, this is just something we say).
Ooookay, guys, why so aggressive? Second yellow card of the match, both to MU players and it's only the 32nd minute. I know, it's a derby, but still... play nice, guys. And Evra, keep it up, you are fantastic.

I baked this week as well, brownie this time for my sister's birthday (or rather it's light-brownie, I didn't have enough chocolate at home and I didn't feel like going shopping, because it was cold outside XD). Sadly, I fucked it up a bit, because of the stupid recipe: it said it should be in the oven for 20 minutes and it doesn't have to be all dry inside (you know, when you stick that needle in it). I baked it for 30 minutes, just to be sure and it still wasn't enough. It tastes awesome anyhow, so it was very much worth it.

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL WAYNE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!!!!! PARK WE LOVE YOU TOO GREAT ASSIST!

Run by Addison Road
Addison Road is a Christian alternative rock band (according to Wikipedia), so not really my type of music, but I adore this song. It's the kind of song that helps you feel better when you're going through a crisis.

OMG TV SHOWS ERIC CANTONA GOALS. OMG ERIC CANTONA IS ON TV TALKING!! (And OMG oldschool!Keane and his curly hair! XD)

PS: Don't kill me, but I do NOT want Cristiano Ronaldo to win the Ballon d'Or. DO. NOT. WANT. KTHXBAI

List of the awesome (1st edition, 6 November 2008)
- in no particular order -

1. Yesterday. I've been to the uni I'm going to apply to: that place freakin' rocks. I got excited just by walking around on campus (I wanted to sit in for a lecture, but in the end I couldn't, no time), which looks great, most of the buildings have this very-old-and-serious-and-very-famous feeling to them (if that makes any sense XD), I love it. And there's this one building called 'Gólyavár' (means stork castle, freshmen are called storks in Hungary, I have no idea why whatsoever), where the freshmen have most of their lectures and it ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A DAMN CASTLE. No kidding. XD I also had a coffee there, found out that the husband of an old English teacher of mine teaches there (he's British actually and I've met him before - I'd love him to teach me, if I was accepted) and I met some old friends I didn't expect to. All in all, great day. (It's doesn't matter at all that before all this I've had the worst, most boring Physics lesson of my life and after this I had an awful waltz rehearsal in the school's way too overheated gym.)

2. New How I Met Your Mother episode. I love angry!Ted. Angry!Ted is almost as funny as drunk!Ted. Plus, almost everybody was swearing in this episode, which was equally awesome. I don't know why, but I love it when English-speaking people swear. It's just... awesome. (And it is official: I am weird. But at least I'm proud of it.)

3. OBAMA WON. OBAMA WON! I quite liked his speech too, I watched it yesterday morning on CNN. To celebrate: OBAMA DANCE VIDEO! :D


This one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

4. JOSE WON. JOSE WON! I knew he would, I voted for him too (3 times, actually XD). Jose > Cabbageman Capello. Jose > all. To celebrate: JOSE'S PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH!


I love this show to bits.

5. Next week is the week of my szalagavató! Although I'll have no rest whatsoever for those 5 days, I know I'm going to enjoy every single minute of it.

I'm only writing this, because I don't want to fail at NaBloPoMo so early. I'm barely awake, I had a terribly exhausting day. It was great, I want to tell you all about it, but now I just can't. I'll also reply to all the comments and read my flist tomorrow. But right now my mind is shutting down. In 3... 2... 1...

Oh. My. God. A guy who I don't know wrote me a poem. Or something like that.

And then sent it to me on Facebook.

Seriously.

"DEAR Linda,
The most beautiful girl and softest that I ever saw in my life…
I am filled so much of you.
That I do not remember any more ego.
My eyes, even concerned of thousand darts,
Cannot close itself in front of your glance."

I laughed so much. Why, yes, I'm evul. XD

Not much happened today that is worth mentioning, maybe one, but I'm not telling that, it's too disgusting. Instead, here's a video which is just too funny not to be posted. Star Wars, but it's not a problem if you haven't seen the films (although you should definitely watch the original trilogy, it rocks).

Election Day in the USA tomorrow and I'm actually quite curious about the outcome. And who would I choose? That's easy.

Sadly, nowadays most of what happens in the US, affects in one way or another most parts of the world (see the financial crisis - for example my country, Hungary has to face some serious problems because of this, it was announced last week that we will get a more than 10 billion dollar rescue package from IMF), so the Americans better elect a good president.

Also, McCain's vice presidental candidate is Sarah Palin. All I have to say about her is DO NOT WANT.
"Current Governor of Alaska. Palin opposes the theory that global warming is man-made. She supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and to build a natural-gas pipeline from Alaska's North Slope. Palin sued the Interior department over its decision to list polar bears as an endangered species."

Oh, and a fun fact: in Hungarian Obama's first name, Barack means peach. XD

Not much for today, I still have to study for a Lit test and blow-dry my hair; also I want to go to bed earlier than usual. Actually, I'm trying to make this the new usual, because I have to get up at 5:30 am to catch the bus and as I go to bed after 11 pm most of the time, I'm always half-asleep in school.

So anyway, I baked again today, it has really become a new hobby for me, especially after getting so much praise. My mum's birthday's today and because I'm really bad at choosing gifts for people (OMFG it's almost Christmas), I decided to bake her a cake. So last night I spent some time with my friends, Google and Wiki and I chose the perfect one. It turned out great. \o/

Okay, here's the recipe, if you have some free time and feel like eating cake, I suggest you bake this. It's easy, quick and delicious.


Madeira cake with cream and jam
(serves 10)

Ingredients:
250 g butter (at room temperature)
220 g (caster) sugar
zest of a lemon
4 eggs (at room temperature)
250 g flour
baking powder (the original recipe said 3 tsp, but as I didn't have the faintest idea exactly how many grams that is I used one packet of baking powder which is 12 g)
250 g mascarpone cheese
200 ml cream (to be whipped)
jam (I used strawberry, but I guess you can use any kind)

Preheat the oven to 170°C. Beat the butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer or hand beaters on high until smooth. Add the caster sugar and lemon zest and beat until very pale (almost white) and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well, on high, after each addition. Sift together the flour and baking powder. Gently fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture with a spatula or large metal spoon until combined. Be careful not to over-mix or the cake will develop a tough texture. Spoon the cake mixture into the loaf pan (greased with melted butter) and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon. Bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until cooked through. When ready, the cake will start pulling away from the sides of the pan and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake will come out clean. Stand the cake in the pan for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack. Turn the cake the right way up and cool to room temperature. Cooling the cake on a wire rack will prevent it from steaming in its own heat trapped by the pan and will encourage a crisp crust to form.
After it cooled, slice it into two horizontally. Mix the mascarpone with the whipped cream and spread over one half of the cake. Spread over the jam on the other cake half and then sandwich it on top. Some icing sugar on top and voilá! (I would post a picture of my cake, but I took it with my sister's phone and she's already asleep. I'll edit this post tomorrow.)

I'm participating in NaBloPoMo! I have a new layout! I have Elle Bishop/Kristen Bell hair (kinda, but I still love it)! I've almost finished all of my French homework!

But why does calendar!Vidic look so angry? He is November in my official MU calender and I just can't figure out why would they choose this picture of him.

IOSS was so good yesterday, Sven organised a Halloween party, all footie fans who watch the PL, go and check it out on Youtube.
It's not only Sven who organised a Halloween party, it seems to become a custom here in Hungary as well. I'm not against it (Halloween seems to be a lot of fun in films or in TV shows), I just find it weird. Not to mention that some people in our neighbourhood didn't do it on Friday, but a day late, which is the Day of the dead here, not a happy let's-have-a-party kind of day. Still, there were children dressed up and they screamed "sweets or life!" instead of "trick or treat". They couldn't translate it better I guess, but this way the Hungarian sounds exactly like what bank robbers say to people, you know "money or your life". It's probably just me though.

No How I Met Your Mother this week. I'm angry. Oh, and I officially stopped watching Heroes. I always read a recap or something like that to know what happened, but I'm not going to waste 40 minutes of my life for that crap (even if it's getting better now, I'm done). Instead, I'm trying to get season one in English for a rewatch and I can finally start watching Pushing Daisies. I seriously need Bryan Fuller in my life.
