back from the dead [Apr 23, 2009 * 7:47pm]
i now usually blog on my french blog, and i also tweet at twitter.com/annakarenine...
but i still read my lj friendlist everyday!

anyways, you must all see what's coming : i have a favour to ask.

i've entered a contest : to put it shortly, nissan is giving away 50 cubes (yes, 50 actual cars) to canadians. i've been chosen as one of the 500 finalists, and now i have to get people to vote for me! i've been doing quite well so far, as of right now i'm rated 32rd, but i need more votes!

the contest aims to find 50 creative, enthousiast, original canadians... and i'm pretty sure i can be one of them!

one of the aspects we'll be rated on is peer voting, so here's my cry for help.

here is my profile/canvas :
http://hypercube.ca/en/Canvas.aspx?id=218a82b2-5a8d-43f5-bb61-0294492e9b06

the thing is, you have to register before you can vote : that way they can ensure that ppl are not voting for themselves everyday... i know it's annoying, but it only has to be done once!
here's the link to register : 
http://hypercube.ca/signup/en/signup.html?id=218a82b2-5a8d-43f5-bb61-0294492e9b06

once you've registered, though, you can vote for me once every day until may 15th!

i'm working my ass off for this contest and i'd REALLY like to win a cube.
i've put some wallpapers online with creatures i've created in illustrator, the cubicorn and the cubicherry, and i think they're pretty amazing..

sooooo... thank you?

my roommate's cat gave birth to kitties!

she had two, waited 24 hours and had two more.
i actually was there when she had the two latest ones!
it's kinda gross but amazing at the same time, how she eats everything and you wouldn't be able to tell there had been blood all over one hour ago...

so i'm now going to flood you with pictures. Lots of cuteness.

i haven't been able to take a pic of all of them yet, so here's pictures from before the second batch

[ mood | accomplished ]

i just made some cupcakes and thought i might share.
my mad icing skillz are still not perfect, as you can see, but the taste makes up for it.
(vanilla cake with lime icing and sprinkled lime zest. yum!)



And here's a macro shot (cupcake pr0n! with a cat-bonus.)

is it the end of the Anna Nicole saga? I certainly hope not. [Apr 10, 2007 * 4:00pm]
Anna Nicole Smith's babydaddy is NOT Howard K. Stern!
It's Larry Birkhead!

Hilarity ensues.

Thank you TMZ.com for updating frantically.

The Everything Test

There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.

Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-)

Personality
You are more emotional than logical, more concerned about self than concerned about others, more atheist than religious, more dependent than loner, more lazy than workaholic, more traditional than rebel, more artistic mind than engineering mind, more idealist than cynical, more follower than leader, and more introverted than extroverted.

As for specific personality traits, you are greedy (77%), slutty (74%), romantic (71%), intellectual (67%).

Stereotypes
Emo Kid100%
Punk Rock93%
Prep92%
 
Life Experience
Sex45%
Substances53%
Travel21%

Politics
Your political views would best be described as Socialist, whom you agree with around 94% of the time.
  Socioeconomic
Your attitude toward life best associates you with Upper Class. You make more than 0% of those who have taken this test, and 65% less than the U.S. average.

If your life was a movie, it would be rated R.
By the way, your hottness rank is 60%, hotter than 85% of other test takers.

TAKE THE TEST

poo, i guess i won't have the job now since he said ne needed somebody to fill in thursdays and i have school on thursdays.
but he said he had a good feeling and that he'd probably call me back for xmas time, around mid-october. so that's cool i guess.
anyways it's not like i'm starving or anything, i still have money left...
so maybe i'll be a lush employee someday. i certainly hope so, with 50% off on everything... it'd be heavenly!

I have an interview for a part-time job in less than an hour, at the Lush store 2 minutes away from my house (walking distance, litterally!) and where one of my friends works.
Wish me luck!

We also have a kitty! His name is Grégory Charles (those outside Québec won't get it...and many people don't even think it's funny, but still. Me and my roommate think it's hilarious.) and he's about 7 weeks old and he's to die for. He's a kitten with mittens! He has 6 claws on each front paw. too cute. Oh and he's black with little white hairs sticking out from his legs and tail. I'll post pictures later.

annstarlett is emotionally distant.
I bet no one's surprised that you never post your current mood. In fact, I bet most of your friends are so sick of you locking them out of your life that they hate you behind your back. Shame.
