What a day! It's been so interesting (you wouldn't believe that based on the last paragraph of the previous entry...). Or more like "what a week it's been so far".
On Monday some kid playing in the playground located right in front of the main entrance of the library I was headed acted very weirdly: first he plays there like every other child would play, but the second he lays his eyes on me walking by, he runs to his mother (well, like a toddler "runs") and hugs her legs without blinking like I would bite his head off if he closed his eyes even for a second.
On Tuesday my English teacher hugged me just out of nowhere (might have something to do with me asking seconds before were others freezing, too). It was strange because I had met her one week before and I'm used to no one, including my mother, to hug me more than four times a year.
On Wednesday I had the opportunity to express my X-phile side: I can write my Translation theory I’s multimedia translation analysis on the X-Files. I chose to analyse ‘Eve’, 1st season’s tenth episode if you don’t count the pilot (which is, by the way, called ‘Bellefleur High’). In this certain episode Scully looks extremely attractive for some incomprehensible reason.
Today I had one interesting creative writing lecture. I think that teacher will always remember me as “the girl who suggested that I should write a bestseller about masturbation”. Well, it is a taboo so I did answer the asked question correctly. And besides, someone else suggested that the topic could be zoophilia (sex with animals, that is). Now I have one week to write a masterpiece about anything. I have many ideas but none of them is developed enough to give away for any kind of evaluation, let alone a native English speaker whose primary interest is literature and went to school I happen to appreciate highly (well, not as highly as Oxford, but close enough). In addition to that, he’s slightly scary.
Actually, I think I’m lying (“Saved the best for the last”). I’m not in such a good mood because things have gone the way I planned. In the morning I just received a smile from a woman I’m very attracted to… my impossible love, my Julija Primic… now you know why I can understand France Prešeren so well… god, she’s gorgeous… and intelligent… and kind…
“Just one look into your eyes
One look and I'm crying
'Cause you're so beautiful
Just one kiss and I'm alive
One kiss and I'm ready to die
'Cause you're so beautiful
Just one touch and I'm on fire
One touch and I'm crying
'Cause you're so beautiful
Just one smile and I'm wild
One smile and I'm ready to die
'Cause you're so beautiful”

Yay, a writer's blog. (pun intended)
My personal approach about Julijas is upright queer forward honesty. I just walk to the girl of my dreams, smile and say "by the way, you're gorgeus and your only faulty is that you're not mine". Has worked pretty well this far, I dated the first girl for a few months, the second girl didn't want to abandon her straightness (:<) but our friendship wasn't hurt at all and the third one..well, we're married, one month and a few days now. :D Beats crying your eyes out for something you can't have night after night, imho.
Besides, chicks dig honesty. :P
Anyhow, the reason I'm here is the name of your blog. Where is it from?

Congratulations for your marriage. I may try that line someday (if I'm drunk enough and get rid of my natural shyness, that is).
The name of the blog... well, if you're familiar with the Silent hill games (and the movie, it's still great) you have an idea where it's from. According to the Silent hill series, the world is made of three layers: the so-called normal world, the Other world and a midworld in between. The Other world is the physical form of a girl's nightmares where she can be what she eventually ended up becoming.
I suppose that in a way (in a very twisted way, if I may add) this Other world is where I can be myself since I haven't officially come out yet (to my family, at least). I will when I have a good reason to but until then I have other things to do than have constant arguments with them and these sharp remarks thrown at me (my mother is specialised in them). So there you go, with a lot of other stuff included, that's the origin of the name.

Just realised something. I was commenting the wrong title. My apologies.
"For a ghost you bleed just fine." That's a line by Top Dollar in The Crow. I'm "the number one fan" of that movie. Someone might think Titanic as the ultimate lovestory but to me that place is only for The Crow. I can myself only say I would be raedy to die for Her, but rising from the dead may become a problem.
