Andrea Corr Album Sampler by Andrea Corr

{{ mizuki }} I might be slightly mad but...

... I just bought this online.
This is the Deluxe version of Andrea Corr's new album (out at the end of May). It has fan goodies too:

- The full length album and the dvd of exclusive performances, interviews, behind the scenes, promo video and gallery in unique sleeves.

- 20 page colour booklet with sleevenotes from Andrea

- Set of 4 postcards

- Deluxe hardbox outer, numbered

- Instant grat track received upon order (it was 'From the morning').

Why is this deluxe version special? Well, there is going to be a total of 650 copies of it worldwide!!

I have been a fan of The Corrs for more than 10 years now, and I always adored Andrea's voice.
To be honest I started liking Ireland because of the Corrs to begin with. And my dream of visiting Ireland will come true in the same month as I'm going to visit Ireland with my Mom and Dad this May (6th-15th). I think I'm going to think of this album as a souvenir... a slightly expensive souvenir if you like.

PS. Tomorrow is Saint Patrick's day.. which is not only an Irish holiday, but our 3rd year anniversary of learning Japanese with Nyekk :)

Hey,

A friend of my recently suggested to read The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. The book itself is really interesting, but the thing that fascinates me the most is that in the world Pullman created, every person has a so called dæmon. A dæmon is a a manifestation of a person's soul.. just imagine an animal form, that is constantly with you. So you are never alone, there is always someone who completely understands you and your feelings. A companion that helps you through everything.

So I've been wondering what my dæmon would look like, what kind of animal would it be, and found these tests online that you can fill out and get an answer. Those two I picked were focusing on your own personality... so basically on what animal would you be.

Both of these tests showed the same result: a rabbit.
Which is funny why exactly? 'cause my chinese zodiac is also the rabbit :D and 2011 is the year of the rabbit. :D

Your result for The Golden Compass Daemon Test ...

Shy Loving Soul

You are a sensitive and shy person. You want to be loved and liked, but you don't think people actually like you very much, and that hurts to think about. You like to be with your family and friends, who care about you. When you are with them, you can open up and talk and be yourself. Among strangers, however, you are nervous and tend to clam up. People are often surprised at how talkative you can be once they get to know you, because you appear to be so quiet and bland at first. You hide your feelings from people whom you do not know well, because you don't know if you can trust them. With your loved ones you can be more yourself.

Your feelings are easily hurt, and you tend to be easily embarassed. You are sensitive, and your loved ones may even tease you about being a little TOO sensitive at times. When your feelings are hurt, you don't always let on. You don't like confrontations, and you are not the sort of person to throw a melodramatic hissy fit. You just tend to fret over it for a few days, until eventually the misunderstanding is cleared up, or time heals the wound.

Your daemon would represent your shyness and sensitivity, and your love of family, and your tendency to hide your feelings from strangers. He or She would probably hide in your pocket or sit on your shoulder where he/she would whisper comfort into your ear.

Suggested forms: Rabbit, Dormouse, Dik-dik, Sighthound
