That is what I say each time I meet new people. Of course I don’t walk around on the street and do it. (Even though it would be really fun to see their buffled faces.)
I live in the middle of a wonderful and lively city! What city you might ask, and my answer would be: Every wonderful city!
At a special corner of your city I have my house, and if you ever find it you are welcome in. For tea or coffee, everything is free! The only thing I ask for back, is that you tell me your hopes and dreams.
I won’t say anything as stupid as I will make your dreams come true or fulfill your hopes and goals for you. No one can give you the life you want beside yourself.
I love humankind, but I hate humans that don’t work for their own future… they are eyesores!
So tell me your hopes for your future if you ever find a small tea shop in a corner you have never seen before. I won’t make your dreams or hopes come true, but I can give advices for you, and since I love all of you, I want to see your happy futures take form too!
I want a lot of new friends!
People to laugh and have fun with!
Let me listen to your hopes, and in the end some of you might help fulfill mine.
~ The dreams and hopes company ~

I am thinking of a new story to write, something that is not as dark and gloomy as what I have been writing lately. But I love that this lead character so far has become a hypocrite XD
I want to try and write a POV story again, I haven’t done that since I wrote Bakura and Ryou fanfics in my teenage years XD When I try to write POV I just usually stop after the first page because it is a little ackward for me, but I really want to try one! A limited view of the story, and the chance for the reader to see the stories completely trough one characters eyes and thoughts.
This is the story that I mentiones earlier that I write on my iPad, I will post more if people like it ^.^ It is a little slow start, but it will start up a little in the next chapter XD The prologue is first, then follow the cut for the 1st chapter.
—————————————————————————
Prologue
What was the first fairytale you ever read or heard? All parents tell them to their children when they grow up.
It is mostly brutal stories. Some of them have moral, while some just tell of how cruel life can be. What is really amusing is that some of the fairytales can get twice as brutal as the things kids see on TV and in games these days, but it seems that parents finds it ok as long as it is considered culture.
It was in late winter that it all started to change, and the countdown to the day the world’s view of fairytales would change forever started.
Enter the small town of Noelle, a small town a long way from everything else. Most of the stuff that happened first happened here. Not to say that weird stuff didn’t happened other places at this time, but if all of it should be covered in this story and to the same detail, we would never get this over with.
Noelle has an elementary school, but above that the children have to leave the town to get to their schools, but at least they had some good contact with the outside world.
This story starts off in the late of winter, just some time after Christmas. The weather had been really bad for a long time already, and the people of the town were trying to cope with it as good as they could.
First the temperature dropped to a low that had never been witnessed in that town since it was founded in the early 1880s. Then the snow came, and even school was cancelled for the time being. People had to stay inside, and there was an increase in deaths of the elderly that was unable to get protected enough from the cold outside.
Then it all happened. Over one night the entire town’s fate was changed as it for one night completely faded away.
For one night the town was gone from our world. A family that had been out of town for the night and just came back could swear that it had been gone when they came back. In panic they alerted the next town, but when the police finally listened to them and came to inspect it, the town was there again.
The people in the town had been sleeping and it seemed that all of them had fallen asleep at the same time, and woken up at the same time.
But some things were not the same.
Some people were still missing, while some of the ones still there could vaguely remember things that happened when they were asleep.
And the only thing to show that the town had been gone was that the houses looked thorn and old when they returned. And even though the town was in the deep snow and in the biting cold, roses had started growing over the entire town, like it had been in a warmer place for a long time.
The mysteries of this day are hidden from all of them, and many people left the town after this for their own safety. But the ones that remained to figure out the mysteries of this day, will not be disappointed.
But the truth might change their lives even further than living in Noelle already has.
Well, I am still just doing all I can to have fun when I should really just be reading japanese grammar each passing second -.-
I don’t know if I mentioned it earlier, but I fell and hit my knee… T.T It was owie… I would share a picture with you, but I am not evil -.- I had to spend almost a entire week home because my knee burned, and my other foot was not good to walk on.
But i am better now, and doing stupid things again ^.^
I am working harder on my japanese now, since I have applied for a japanese University for the next two semesters. But I didn’t get my first choice so I am a little nervous, since Hokkaido that I came into the line for, has the classes in japanese… But I really hope I can go! Together with my roommate!
But it all is a little scarier now, and the day I got the call that I was in line for Hokkaido was the same day that the earthquake and tsunami hit… It has all seemed a little dark after that, and I hope it will go well for Japan, and the ones in my class that was supposed to leave this month and the next but are not allowed.
——————————————————————-
I also bought a keyboard for my iPad! It is really useful! But now I have the problem that when I start to write on my computer I always push my finger at the screen afterward and hope it will work XD I have the manuscript on this, and I have started a whole new story to write on the iPad! It is a story set in a small town in a mordern world, but the backdrop of it is old fairy tales with some extreme dark twists! (I mean it… my hanzel and Grethel didn’t seem that bad until I wrote down for my friend what just happened O.o…)
The story starts off as the town of Noelle suddenly one day dissapears. For one entire day the whole town and the people that lived there were gone. The next day the town is back, and also most of the people living in it. But some are gone, and the lives of the ones that returned will never again be the same. No one remembers what happened, and the town itself suddenly looked like it had been gone for a lot more time than one day. And all around the town, blood red roses grows trough the cold snow.
So far I have three chapters, and the first one starts off around 4-6 years later, as most of the people have gone back to their own lives. First chapter is just a little start off, and the main characters are introduced.
Second chapter is Hanzel and Grethel, and the third is little red riding hood. I have also plans of having Sleeping beauty, and I want a Bluebeard version where Bluebeard wins in the end XD (Or sort of XD) I will also use other fairytales as I go, and if there is any good ideas out there I want to know! Please tell me your favorite fairy tale! Just be warned that I am a sick sick person and it might be turned darker than your wildest imagination XD

Other than that… WAI!!!!!!!!! The trailer for the DVD release of Marchen has come!! WA!!! I want it so much and I want it now!!!
Oh God I will die laughing off the scene where Jimang is dressed up as a woman XD There is just something about that image that is priceless ^-^
But when the movie is done in the 3d theaters in Japan and finally is released, I will buy it! And I will post about it! ^-^
——————-spoilers for Kuroshitsuji manga beyond here!——————————
And the last I want to write about now… OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
I just read chapter 55 of Kuroshitsuji, that just came out, and if it wasn’t awsome enough with Ronald, Lizzie’s family, Snake and a Titanic like ship with zombie and Undertaker on, guess what just jumped on from a iceberg!
*Tries to find words to express the awsome that just made Anki’s head implode on itself*
Wah!! Grell is back!! And the real one this time!! Not the comic relief Grell clone that the anime made us look forward to!! I have a reason to live again!! (Other than waiting for the Grell and Will OVA… if it hasn’t come out yet…?) What I am looking forward to now is to see Grell being awsome! I am already happily suprised to see that Ronald as not as stupid as he seemed in the anime, this Ronald is awsome! And he kicks zombie butts like there is no tomorrow! And he has extra weapons! And he can mock Sebastian too!
I’m so happy now T.T
And I don’t own any of the scans here, they are scanlated over at the Bleach Asylum I think, go there and download if you want to read it all ^.^
And I am looking forward to see how all will go, how Grell and Ronald interact, and also how Sebastian and Ciel will take it if they do meet Grell again XD But since Lizzie is there it might go a little like the anime and they agree to work together since Ciel would work with anyone if he could protect Lizzie ^.^
This will be really fun! It is basicly a blog for the characters from my destiny reapers story, and it will be updated each time that I plot something new for them XD I got some help from some of the characters themselves to write and comment, so Noin won’t have to do all of it alone XD
Noin will draw a lot of things to not leave the blog too boring, and he is really hoping for some comments ^.^
Haven’t blogged for a little while now, and I just want to update with something XD Well, I have a iPad, and also a pogo stylus now! It is really easy to use for kanji practice on the ipad, but it is still a little hard to use it for drawing, but it works better than using my finger XD
It was a lot smaller than I had thought it would be, but that just makes it easier to hold.
I also found out that I can use it on my phone, so that was a little fun XD
I have drawn a little with it since I bought it, but not much really, but I will add some pictures drawn on the iPad since I got it ^.^
This picture I drew before I got the pogo stylus, and I am really proud of it! I never really draw people with that kind of hair, but it was fun XD I think I drew a really cool woman XD
The next picture was the first I made with the pogo, and I were trying out the layers and colors a little. It is really easy and fun to play around on the sketchbook pro program, if you have a iPad I do urge you to try it out if you like to draw ^.^
This picture I made yesterday, after I have started on writing my story with Noin as the main again I just keep remembering that he is not always such a nice guy XD He can be really scary if it is asked off him. I will try to draw more of Noin in the future! And maybe start on the reapers comic again, as well as maybe put up some of the chapters here ^.^ I got the Manuscript program on iPad too, and it is really easy to use, I just have some problems with importing and exporting between ipad and computer XD
I really like the things you can do on this. You can make pitches and also arrange a lot of character cards and stuff that is good to have when you do want to plan what you are going to write, and you can just send it over mail to yourself when you want to store it, and everything auto saves!!
Next month I will buy something to put my ipad in, so I can take it to use in school, and I might also buy the keyboard for it in the near future ^.^
In other news I have started to buy a lot of Shiki doujinshies XD I post them on the other blog as I get them, but my collection is growing so much that I had to buy new folders to put more in XD
I and my roommate took a almost two hour walk one day, and we took a lot of nice pictures! It was really fun, and I can’t wait for the spring to come so we can walk around a lot more!
I have been playing some pangya lately, but I will update with that here later, so I won’t say much now ^.^
And the most important news in the end! I have become a aunt again! My brother and his girlfriend just got their third adorable little heartbreaker! Now they have one boy (the oldest) and two girls! I regret not being able to spend much time with any of them when they grew up, since I lived away when the two first were born, and now I only see them around the biggest vacations… but I really love them all a lot! ^-^
Today I went to see the movie “The Troll Hunter” In the theaters in Bergen.
I have to say that I was looking forward for someone to make something like this! I have been a big fan of fairytales and stuff like that since I were a kid! The first story I could remember was the story of the The Three Billy-Goats Gruff that my father read to me as a child. (I even played the middle goat at the school christmas parties when I were little XD)
But over time I think a lot of people have forgotten all the stuff that is here in Norway! We have a lot of scarier stuff than a lot of other contries!
We have the giant trolls of course, that varies from one head to three and the size of a gate and to the size of mountains. And I have to say that our trolls are a lot better than what movies like Troll offers! Those are nothing against our ones!
<— From the Movie Troll. out of all the movies to follow, this was the best one…
A Norwegian forest troll, if you see how small the trees looks, imagine just how big he is…——>
I grew up with a lot of magical creatures around me! The stories tells of Hulders, Nøkken, Nisser and draugen. We have a lot of great creatures for stories, but it is so long since there really was much of it in modern movies and things like that! But I hope that with the new movie a lot of old creatures will start to appear again!
And even if the Troll’s in the movie is scary, Nøkken(Neck) and Draugrs is twice as scary! I think I don’t know of anyone that haven’t been scared by the picture of Nøkken! It is iconic for scary in Norway! (And condoms…)
This creature have haunted my nightmares since I were a kid! You don’t see much of him, but it is scary! Nøkken just wants to pull you to your death! And if you don’t come to him, he will pretend to be a horse and if you sit on him, he will jump into the bog with you.
The Draugr is the same as a undead. There are two versions, one that roams the sea to warn of dangers or take boats to their deaths, or the ones on land, that was often the corpses of kings and people with great richess that remained to keep their treasures from others.
If you see the Draugr at sea, there is not much chance to survive, as they will come after you.
Well, the movie was great! I love the animation of the Trolls, and Otto Jespersen is awsome as the hunter! And to have three great comedians in one movie that also had Gubrandsdalen and trolls? How can you get better than that?!
I won’t spoil the movie, I’ll just say that you should watch it if it comes to a theater near you =)
And for National Novel Writing Month I am writing a story based on Norwegian farytales and stories, so it will be really fun to get it done in time! ^.^
This picture I drew before I got the pogo stylus, and I am really proud of it! I never really draw people with that kind of hair, but it was fun XD I think I drew a really cool woman XD
