NaNo started today and we were in Berne at a meet-up, which was awesome. This time we even actually got to write. :o)
I've exceeded my own expectations by far by writing 7022 words today. Isn't that awesome? I might even actually win it this time... yay! :o)
Anyways, also watched the newest episode of Merlin just now (as a treat for writing so much). And I loved it! It's so awesome! *hug* :oP

OMG OMG OMG!
Has anyone besides me seen the new Merlin episode? It is sooooo good. And cute. And adorable. I almost can't believe that I'm saying this, but I'm almost speechless by the sheer perfection of it. I mean : Major Fangirl Squee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :o)




Loved it. Anyone saw it? I have to talk about it... :o)

So, I noticed the other day that I haven't posted for AGES! I feel guilty. And ashamed. But I do have legitimate reasons. I really do. University semester started again last week. And before that I worked almost full time. And I' project manager for the Career Days at our university. (we're talking about a profit of around 45'000 swissfrancs here...)
So, yes, I guess that qualifies me as being busy. But  I still wrote a little entry here. And maybe next time it will be even a bigger one. (no promises here, though...)
So, off I go again (lunch is over and I have tons of things to do... (around 5 meetings this week... plus university courses plus work... *sigh*)

btw: bought a few new books. One of them is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Yay. :o)

Today we had a funny NaNo meeting. (Thanks again xxxdo !)

And I even did the homework... yay! (I'm ashamed to say that I was the only one that did it... ).

The assignment was "write a hundert words containing 'run and run as fast as you can'".





Hope liked it. :o)


btw: funny Round Robin. :oP

and a train ride which was at the same time hilarious and disgusting... (don't ask...)

Sap- ESFJ

60% Extraversion, 40% Intuition, 40% Thinking, 60% Judging

Aww...you know that sensitive mamsy-pansy sap I was talking about earlier? Yeah. Well, someone had to get it and you pulled the short straw. Now pull yourself together, crybaby.

You are quite possible one of the most sensitive people I know and I don't even know you! You care what each and every single person thinks about you. You're the kind of person who sends around a txt to everyone they know saying "i thnk ur prtty. wat do u thnk abt me? rate me frm 1-5."

That's 1 meaning "I hate you" and 5 meaning "You make me vomit when I look at you." You're still crying, aren't you?

Sure. All you want is for someone to appreciate you once in a while. Aww... Boohoo. Hold a pity party sometime. The garden's free. Lots of worms down there. Big ones. Small ones. Squishy ones.

My guess is you don't understand this test one bit. You can't imagine how anyone could be so insulting or why anyone could find it even remotely amusing...STOP THE DAMN WATERWORKS, WOMAN!

Naive is a word that needs to be branded on your forehead... Alright, now I feel bad. Sure, you do have some redeeming factors, just not many. Sorry.

You Are "enter"

Some people might try to say you're impulsive and rash. You like to consider yourself decisive and committed instead. You don't have a lot of trouble making very final decisions. You trust your instincts, and you don't waver. You just go for it!

Oh no. I always steal ideas and stuff from other people.... :oP

So, my friend has her exams/papers over (yes, enibash , I mean you) and therefore she's bored. As am I since my last exam was today. :o) So I stole another meme from her. With this one, you have to work though. I like it! :oP


YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST, I want to know 28 things about you. I don't care if we've never talked, never really clicked, or if we already know everything about each other. I really don't. You are obviously on my flist, so let me know with whom I'm friends!

You don't have to, really. Though it would be nice. :o)

2. Age:
3. Single or Taken:
4. Favorite Movie:

13. What is your favorite memory of us?

27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together (If you have no idea, just say something crazy, it'll entertain me!)?
28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you?


Anyways, another thing. Since I saw this incredible vid I posted a while ago about Bradley James ("So Macho") I wanted to see the pilot to Dis/connected so badly. So I started downloading it. With sometimes only 1 or no seeds. It took me 1 week and 3 days of online time (and since I'm not that often online.... :o) you get the idea...)
Anyways, I watched it now - since it finally ended - a few days ago. Honestly? I was a bit disappointed. His role is kinda tiny. Well, it's amusing since he's this women-eating jock.  He's gorgeous and a sex-maniac. What else could a woman wish for? :oP

So, it's the week of my exams. Two are already over (Swiss Politics and Comparative Politics) and two are yet to come (Methods of Politics and Methods in Media/communication.... yes, they're as boring as they sound... ) Been studying for a few days now almost straight. tomorrow at 10.30 the agony will be over. :o) Can't wait.

So, anyways. imperatorzlarp left on sunday for england. Specifically Manchester. 12 weeks. That's like almost 3 months! Now I have so much free time (especially on weekends), it's unbelievable... :oP Not that I'd want that. But I'll go visit him next month, so I guess it's almost ok. I will then also be visiting London again. Love the city.

Just found something funny on my friend's page, and since I have nothing else to do (than studying), I'll post it here too. :o)

1. You can ONLY answer 'Yes' or 'No'.

2. You are NOT ALLOWED to explain ANYTHING unless someone messages or comments you and asks—and, believe me, the temptation to explain some of these will be overwhelming. Nothing is exactly as it seems.

( Meme this way )



Let's just not talk about it... :oP
Or rather, if you have any questions, it's not as bad as it seems... o:o)

So, I'm almost ashamed about how long I didn't write anything. I wanted to a lot of times. But oh the time is always slipping away.

I finished about 4 books in the last few weeks. 2 from belenustenebrae . Spindle's End (by Robin McKinley) and Graceling (by Kristin Cashore). I enjoyed both, but Graceling was so exciting that I finished it in about 3 or 4 days. (I did also work then and therefore did not have the time to read constantly...)
Then a very good friend of mine went to USA and got me a book I ordered from him which isn't available here yet. Casual Hex by Vicky Lewis Thompson. It's the third one in a row. I love her books and finished this one in a day. :o)

And now - again - I have nothing to read. But I guess imperatorzlarp will impose some of his books on me... :o) Even though I have exams in like 2 weeks or so.

But right now some other stuff is on my mind. First there's my sister's wedding next saturday (of course I'll upload some pics afterwards...) and then my bf's departure...

But to something more funny now: I was 2 weekends ago at a AIESEC conference in Fiesch for 4 days and it was awesome. We had a lot of fun and also learned a lot. Every evening there was a costume party with a different theme... hehehe...

Of course here some pics...

  

As you can guess, the theme here was pajama party. And yes, I just had to go over the top... :o)
(what you can't really see here is that I wore fluffy slippers and my pink pajama bottoms have little pigs on them... )




Here the theme Jungle & Pirates... (what a stupid combination...) on this pic parts of our LC (Local Committee)... God, I look aweful...



The theme on the last night was anything but clothes... I wore a flag (of Italy). as you can see, we had a lot of fun (the guy in the pic wasn't half as suffering as he looks now... ;oP... )


So, yesterday, my sister's Hen Night took place. We went to the Blind Cow restaurant in Basel (it's the one where it's pitch dark inside. it's impossible to see a thing... ) we had the surprise menu, which was very cool. You couldn't see a thing and at the same time didn't know what sort of food was on the plate. I made her wear a little veil and she had a white t-shirt on which read advice to the bride and then strangers on the street were asked to write something on it.  it was very funny.

Anyways, I think that's enough for now. Will write more next time (maybe...)  :o)

Yes, I'm obsessed. And yes, I'm bored right now. So I made some icons.  :o)
(I know they suck, but hey! Give me a chance! I'm a beginner... )


                                                                       


So, like or not?

I know. I suck so bad. I haven't written anything in what seems like almost forever. But I'm still here and now I'm gonna write a bit about stuff I did or will do.

So, it started with a great and funny NaNo meet in Berne, where we spent time in an italian restaurant (the waitress thought we were childish since we were drawing and stuff... she just doesn't know how to have fun...) and then we got comfortable in a Starbucks for hours. It was great seeing you all guys again.

Then imperatorzlarp  and me had our anniversary and I got us both rings. No, we're not engaged. They're only friendship/relationship rings.

And then a day later, belenustenebrae  came to visit us for our NaNo meet here. It was a lot of fun and of course we wrote another little story... hehehe...    (btw: Elsa, did you type it yet?)

So, then was Easter and that was like all of it for now.

Except, I saw a pretty new episode of Bones last week.....  Zac, why???????????????

And there was also the Doctor Who Easter special. Yay! Very cool. Hope they get together after all... (nope, sorry, not telling any spoilers... :o)...)

Oh, and btw: enibash made me want to try out picnik too... here the outcomes... :o) hope you all like them... many to follow probably (yes, enibash , it's addictive... hehehe)


                                         

Today, I have been woken at 04.50 am! I had to drive my parents to the train station since there is no bus this early and they have to be at the airport at 6 to check-in. So, we left the house at 5 and I was back here at 05.20. And my alarm clock was totally unnecessary, since it would have started (aka. the cd player) at 05.30. What a waste of sleep. Though I must admit that I was kinda half-awake already anyways since my cat chose to get out at like 4 am. Yes, I'm my cat's concierge. Out of sheer necessity. If I don't let it out, it starts biting and scratching me and terrorizes my dwarf-hamster. And it's not like I could sleep through that. So better getting up and putting a stop to this.

I actually told my parents to wake me like 5 minutes before we have to go since I don't need a lot of time to catch something - anything - to wear and leave the house. Now, my mother came into my room, left the door ajar, told me to get up and left again. Normally she turnes on the light. This time not. So I thought what the hell and started getting dressed in the semi-darkness. When I went into the kitchen my father told me with a smile that I must be still very tired. I asked him why and he told me that I was wearing my sweater inside-out. Oh well. I was glad I was wearing anything sorta normal at all since I didn't really see what I was picking up when dressing. I'm not a morning person. Not at all. Just to have it said.
Gah, I'm still so tired and I have to leave for work at 06.30. I think I have to get 1 or 2 or 3 coffees before I go. Might help. And if not, work will be fun... :oP  *yawn*
Man, I've never been at the computer at this early hour. And all I got from getting up this early is a cold. I have been sneezing quite a few times since I'm back. Great.

Today was one of the worst days. And that actually only covered half the day.
I had to work from 7 am to 1 pm.
Now to understand my work situation: I work part-time as a florist/gardener. We're a team of all in all 9 women, but 3 of us are only part-time. My boss is a 40 something single woman who's not the easiest to get along with. She's very direct (which I have nothing against) and a lot of people have a problem with her. When she's in a bad mood, she shows it straight out. But it always was kind of easy to see when she was in a bad mood and then you can just sorta avoid her.
But since she had a little accident a few weeks ago and had to go to the hospital since she couldn't get up (she lifted something too heavy and got something with her back) she started changing her mood every few minutes. It's very exhausting and we never know if she really means what she says. Sometimes it's difficult not to take it personal.
Normally I let what she says drop off of me. But today I was on the verge of tears a few times. At least not while she was around but afterwards when I was working. Better than one of my colleagues. She's a year younger than me and she was literally in tears for the last week. It's a lot of emotional pressure, especially when you're working full-time. But it was emotionally super-stressful.

Anyways, after work I had to go to Zurich for university and had some time before class. So I went to the comic book store I discovered with imperatorzlarp  and indulged... I bought 4 mangas (of course yaoi). (yes, belenustenebrae , you'll get to read them, too... hehehe... did you stumble on the german? :o) ... )   :o)
Frustration shopping rocks!

And now I'm just relaxing, eating dates, cookies and watching tv... :o)
Let's hope tomorrow will be better. I actually might stay home and clean my room. NaNo this weekend again. Can't wait.

I found this and just remembered why I love Bradley James... :o)
So, I have to see the one movie that is in the clip (Dis/Connected)... wonder if it is available somewhere...

Your personality type is playful, charming, open minded, and energetic. Only about 7% of all people have your personality, including 9% of all women and 5% of all men You are Extroverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Perceiving.

I feel kinda sad. The last few days I have thought a lot about my grandmother who passed away february last year. I really miss her. Especially when I listen to a certain song I listened to the week she was dying. It's weird since she was Italian and the song is in english.
I heard it for the first time on Bones and it stuck with me.
It's Poco's 'Keep on trying'. It always makes me very sad when I hear it.

On a happier note: NaNo next weekend! Yay! :o)

So, the last few days were eventful and somehow also stressy.
I went with a few people (imperatorzlarp  and enibash and 2 more) like last year to an awesome concert. Lord of the Rings symphonie orchestra and choir with the movie playing in the back. Looks like this. It's very big and ubercool. This time it was The Two Towers. (pic from last year) It's very impressive and goosebump-ish.



Now we're excited for Return of the King next year. Yay.

Anyways, we came home at 2 am and I had to get up right after 5 again and take the bus at 6 to go to work. I was soooo tired. I had to work from 6.30 am til 5.10 pm. And then my sister and me went to a concert close to us. She got the tickets and her fiance didn't want to go there so I went with her. Lovebugs. A famous swiss band.
The have a song called Avalon (Merlin! Yay!)

( Avalon - Lovebugs )
There's also the old song Angelheart by them. I love it.

There was a very cool supporting act. The Rambling Wheels. A band from Neuchatel (I think) who won the mycokemusic.ch award last year. They are crazy. And I mean it like that. Very funny. Check them out.  (www.theramblingwheels.ch)

And now I'm still very tired. *yawn* Oh well.

So, this morning, when I went to university, I arrived at the main station. There I saw a guy who looked from far away like Colin Morgan. Close up not so much... :o)
Then, when I walked underground to the moving staircase and went up, a man was coming down, whistling all the while 'America' from Westside Story. That so made my day. I couldn't help but smile.
Finally arriving at the university, the day took a weird turn when I hit my head really hard on a bathroom door. But hey! That's just my life. I got used to it. :o)

So, anyways, this lunchbreak, I had my laptop with me, but the login did not work. No clue why. And I just finished my book I had with me ('remember me' by Sophie Kinsella?. What else to do then but write. And so I did. I wrote 2 chapters of my fic. Yay. In one day. And too early. So technically I wouldn't have to write a new chapter until friday in two weeks... Not that I could resist continuing the story. I must say, I rather like it myself if I may say so... :o)

Warning note though: This is totally un-beta'd.  I'm sorry if you find many many mistakes, I just did not have the time or energy to let someone else prove-read it... so, sorry. :o)







And since I was soooo productive, here also Chapter 5. Hope you all like it.





Now to something entirely different.

Got this from belenustenebrae . She knows me so well. :oP


Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

1. the color Pink

 

Anyone who knows me knows that I love pink. But if you think this is just another colour, then you’re wrong. Pink is a statement. Pink is an attitude towards life. It’s like Aerosmith sang in their song ‘Pink’ (yes, even ‘tough’ guys like them can sing about it… :o)…). They practically sang a song for me. And I think it’s so true. That’s why it has to be on here.

 

Pink it’s my new obsession
Pink it’s not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover, ‚cause
Pink is the love you discover
Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink ‚cause you are so very
Pink it’s the colour of passion
`Cause today it just goes with the fashion
Pink it was love at first sight, yea
Pink when I turn out the light, and
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
You could be my flamingo
‚Coz pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink like a deco umbrella
It’s kink - but you don’t ever tell her
I want to be your lover
I wanna wrap you in rubber
As pink as the sheets that we lay on
Pink is my favourite crayon, yeah
Pink it’s like red but not quite

 

Well, I think that already says it all. Pink is cool, no matter what people still say. I used to love it when I was a little girl. Now I’m back to love it. And I can. Even if people tell me it’s just for girls. It’s not. You all know I’m right.

2. Lolcats

 

Ahem. If you read my blog or just occasionally zoom in to look at the many pictures, you’ll find that I like making lolls of my 4 cats. It may seem like an obsession. Actually, maybe it is an obsession?

I have a dream, that someday one of my lols will be accepted into their hall of fame. That would be the greatest. And until then, I keep spamming them with all the lols I’m making. I simply love my cats and think that they can be hilarious. A lot of times. So, don’t expect me to stop soon. :o)

3. Yummy Cakes

 

I think I got that one because I brought this cool cakes to the NaNo meeting in December. Yes, I was maybe a tad pretentious for doing such a cake, but it was worth the effort and time I think. It was awesome. It rocked. And everyone who doesn’t know which cake I’m talking about, its picture is in one of my first posts.

Oh, and btw: I also love yummie cakes in general. I like making them, I like eating them, I like bringing them, … But I guess that’s not what belenustenebrae  had in mind… :o)

4. Spamming me with talk of Bradley

 

I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. The first time I watched Merlin, I fell in love with Bradley (sorry imperatorzlarp , but that’s different… :oP… ). So, of course my mission now is clear. I have to spread the word and get him to be known. Also Colin, if you have to know… :o) But that's just a side effect... :o)</lj>

I already converted one and a half people to love it. Yay! And of course my mission does not end here… muahahahaha! Ahem. Anyways, go Bradley! And I will always spam yours all comments with them. Ahaha.


And just something else: everybody go and read my fic. ;o)

 

5. The merry elf

 

Aw, I’m touched that you remember my little story and my pic. Well, I guess it is hard to forget after all. It practically burns a hole in your retina… Never to be forgotten again.

It all began in Paris. (I always wanted to start a story like that… :oP… ) We saw a sticker of an elf riding on a dolphin on a window at New Year Eve’s in a little street in Paris, and it developed from there.

For the next NaNo meeting, I wrote a story about this merry elf. I had to get it’s story out. I had to be its spokesperson to the whole world. I must say, this elf touched me deeply. And when I saw next to it the Santa Clause also riding a dolphin, I was a goner. :oP

Now, that's it. I think it was long enough anyways. :o)
And I'm tired now too. :o)
</lj>

</lj>

I am the bestest girlfriend - ever. imperatorzlarp  would probably second that. (or I hope so)
I took him for a surprise to watch Watchmen yesterday in the movie theatre. Even though I wasn't really interested.
But now, I must say that I actually really enjoyed it. Yes, sometimes it was REALLY bloody (well, duh!) but it was also very impressive.
Especially the music was made of win. They took all the music from the 80ies since the movie plays then. So at one time there's also a piece of Mozart's Requiem - Rex Tremendae. And it sooo fit at that scene. Awesome.
There's also 2 sex scenes in the movie. One was very funny (duplication for you - belenustenebrae ) and the other one really steamy and beautiful. And quite long. People in the movie theatre already were starting to laugh a bit embarrassed because you could see a lot. Really. But it was very tasteful.
Anyways, I can actually recommend it. Yay.

Well, it snowed again yesterday and today... ARGH!!!!!!! I'm really getting sick of it being so freaking cold.

Anyways, a few days ago we had a visit from 2 people from Jehova's Witnesses. Well, basically they were flashing their fake and 'happy' smiles at me and shoved a watchtower into my face. To which I said no thanks and closed the door into their happy faces. Yay! :o) Aren't I just so nice? I even almost let them say what they wanted to say... :oP But I didn't want to talk to them about God and the World. No thank you.

Anyways, the third chapter of my fic is up. Yay!!!! Finished it just now. Am so excited that I actually managed to have it done by friday again. I'm so good. :o)





And now to something different. Yes, I'm guilty of making yet even more lolcats. Many many more. :o)



            


      


Yes, I know I suck. But I tried. And now I've already made 9 lols....!!! Yay!!!  :o)
