Introducing Ella the Monster Munchkin

Ella officially became a member of the Rogue household back in January but for some crazy reason I have yet to introduce her to... well... cyberspace. So here goes:

Ella (Photo taken: July 25th 2009)

Born: November 2008 Sex: Female Breed: German Shepherd Character: Over enthusiastic greeter (ie. slobber kiss central), bouncy, hyperactive, ball obsessed, Olympic chewer. Dislikes citrus fruit (but being a dog, happily munches on anything else - including slippers!), feisty, stubborn and, last but not least, mischief maker extraordinaire!!

The day we collected her from the airport (January 9th). Ella soon made herself at home, the lil scallywag arrived with a bone almost as big as her (okay, so I'm guilty of slight exaggeration). However, Ella was, and still is on some level, adorable. See pics below.

Mini Rant

Grr! I'm not a happy bunny! In fact I may be in danger of sprouting horns,... atleast I'm not breathing fire... yet! Now onto the cause of my frustration: my laptop is falling apart, argh! Soon typing will become impossible, "c" is almost dead... thankfully I don't use it that often. Nevertheless I fear my laptop is, dare I say it, doomed! I think it needs to retire, shall start hunting for it's heir apparent.... :-s x Wow! I feel better already... no longer dreaming of taking a sledge hammer and putting my laptop out of its misery. Now that's what I call progress! XD hehe x

My eternally evolving bedroom.

Shockingly, 8 months later, my room is still a work in progress. Although this is not evident at first glance. A couple of months ago I fell in love with a deep grey sofa bed from Harvey Normans, which naturally I just had to have (It was on sale, how's a girl supposed to resist?!) Due to an abundance of cushions, it actually seems more like a chaise longue. Well I like to think so! Either way it is undeniably comfortable and perfect for snuggling down with a good book and a hot chocolate... or it would be if my crazy cats hadn't adopted my entire bedroom! Can you say... "chaos"! :P

Personality Type: The Groundbreaking Thinker

Personality Type: The Groundbreaking Thinker

According to http://ipersonic.com/type/GT.html this is me!

I'd like to think that some of it is accurate... but I'm not quite convinced.

Alas only time will tell.

Groundbreaking Thinkers are charming, enthusiastic persons. They really bubble over with energy and like to take centre stage. They love variety both professionally and privately. Groundbreaking Thinkers tackle changes consistently with their optimism and firm belief in their own abilities; they are always on the look-out for improvement possibilities. Their excellent communication skills are of great advantage to them here. They approach the world with curiosity and openness and master new situations with a great deal of talent for improvising and with resourcefulness. Their spare time is taken up with a large number of hobbies; most Groundbreaking Thinkers like to travel in order to gather as many different impressions as possible. This personality type is unbeatable at discovering new possibilities.In their work, Groundbreaking Thinkers highly rate challenges and diversified tasks. They cannot stand routine and too detailed work. They love to astound others with bold ideas for an original, new project and then leave it up to the others to implement them. Hierarchies, rules and regulations arouse their opposition and they love outsmarting the system. It is vital to them that they enjoy their work; if this is the case, they quickly become pure workaholics. Their creativity best takes effect when they work independently; but they are very good at motivating others and infecting them with their optimistic nature. Conceptual or advisory activities appeal especially to Groundbreaking Thinkers. It can happen that some people feel somewhat duped by their flexible, spontaneous nature.

Sociability and enterprise ensure that Groundbreaking Thinkers always have a large circle of friends and acquaintances in which activity plays an important role. As they are mostly in a good mood, they are popular and very welcome guests. Grumbling and peevishness are unknown to them. However, they do tend to be a little erratic and unstable when it comes to obligations and this makes them appear to be unreliable to some. Groundbreaking Thinkers are very critical and demanding when it comes to picking a partner because they look for the ideal relationship and have a very concrete picture of this ideal relationship. Mutual aims in life are very important to them. They do not like compromising and would rather remain alone. For the partner, it is often a challenge to have a long-term relationship with a Groundbreaking Thinker. Groundbreaking Thinkers need a lot of space and diversity or otherwise they become bored and feel cramped. Types who are rather more traditionalistic often have problems with the willingness of Groundbreaking Thinkers to take risks and their often crazy, spontaneous actions. However, if one can summon up sufficient flexibility and tolerance for them, one will never be bored in their presence and will always have a loyal and faithful partner.

Adjectives which describe your type: extroverted, theoretical, logical, spontaneous, rational, innovative, intellectual, open, independent, curious, enterprising, analytical, clever, enthusiastic, venturesome, inventive, energetic, sociable, optimistic, non-conformist, creative, freedom-loving, charming, able to get enthusiastic, self-confident, communicative, capricious, inconsistent, outgoing

My Room - A Work In Progress

A few months ago, I ranted about my confusion over the direction my bedroom decor scheme was going in. Vintage, leopard print, fashion prints, lace, you name it! Now, however, it's finally coming together. No longer a not-so-blank canvas but rather a work in progress. The walls are the palest grey-blue, with a black feature wall (originally fantabulous, even though I say it myself, now needs repainting, black shows every flaw, grrr! I blame the cats! lol) behind my bed (which seems far too small these days! But still oh-so-comfortable!). Also, for the first time in the history of Rogue bedrooms, my bedside table and chest of drawers (in gunmetal grey) are from the same collection and actually match. Wow! =]

New Philips music centre, I spent ages looking for something simple and elegant, no fancy supersonic boom and chrome. Unfortunately it also seems to act as a dust magnet!

Notice that the Twilight collection matches my colour scheme? Hehe. I know it looks a little cluttered but I haven't invested in a bookshelf yet and I really wanted the jewellery mannequin and chaise on display, they complement my bedside lamp. Atleast I think they do...

For some reason, I seem to have started a collection of mannequins. I don't really need two, well not yet anyway. But I simply couldn't resist this one, it's smaller but what a lush blue! The masks are from Venice, I have a slight obsession with Venetian masks, this is only the beginning of the collection. Perhaps I should have a masquerade ball for my 21st... And then next stop: Venice Carnival.

Still a work in progress.

Thus this shall be continued at a later date....
