Writing giveaway and questions

I've spent the last couple of hours writing my EU essay, fair to say I became really pessimistic about that whole organisation. Now I'm just counting the minutes until my sister shows up so we can watch Gossip Girl because I need to... not think for a bit. Just sit down and relax, which Gossip Girl is perfect for. Anyway, it's in Swedish and the current word count is 1,877. Anyone interested in reading? ^^

Huge happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] bashipforever! I hope you'll have a fantastic birthday sweetheart. Sorry I haven't been such an active commenter.

Also, anyone here ever read Philosophy? I have this essay for English class and I have no clue if I'm doing it right because I haven't had the subject. Help?

TWO DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS BREAK! Woohooo! *dances* Can you feel the joy? In honour of that joy, the first five that comment and say that they want a drabble/ficlet thingy will get one. I sucked at fulfilling icon requests but I'm confident in my writing abilities (sort of)... Just provide me with fandom and prompt. Fandoms I can write: Original (if you just want a short story or something that doesn't have a fandom association), Supernatural, Gossip Girl, Doctor Who, Heroes (with some restrictions, some characters such as Maya I can't won't write) and Dexter (Never tried but I could). Some shows, sadly, I haven't seen in forever (such as Life on Mars) so it would be difficult to write from that.

Not quite an expert on Christmas shopping...

Am I the only one who's not made one single purchase for Christmas this year? Seriously. I have presents to give dad, his wife, my mother and her husband, my grandmother and her brother. My sister knows she's getting a top for Christmas (I promised her that) and my twin... well, we're not giving each other anything this year. I don't know why but Christmas seems so far away, you know? Like it's not for another decade.

Pimping my Christmas wishlist in case you're interested :D

Also, French music is always appreciated :D I need some more (especially since my brandwith dies if I get movies or such, I've discovered *sob*)

Gossip Girl 1x10 Hi, Society! )

Tomorrow - preview of The Golden Compass
Friday - shopping with a friend and dinner with same friend :D

The energy is fading away

I have a headache, feeling tired, no homework for the rest of the week, didn't have the French test and I feel warm and as though I might be catching something after standing outside in the cold (-10*C at least, which is 14 *F for you crazy people who for some reason use Fahrenheit) because I was waiting for a friend because she was going to give me money that she owed me. I'm a money whore, or at least I cling to money as if my life depended on it but with good reason. At least I feel that way.

I have yet to change layout and I probably will once I get my energy back and don't feel like I'm one inch away from fainting out of fatigue (notice me cleverly using some French? :P). Also, do you know anywhere you can get good css codes/communities with nice layouts?

Also about the newest House episode: Wilson so owns House. Fact. Already established by canon so I didn't feel like putting it under cuts.

In 30 minutes (21.30, or 9.30 PM if you're that inclined) I'm officially calling it a day and is going to retire to my bed and spend the following hours trying or successfully sleeping.

Ebleugh. I just wish I didn't feel so nauseated. It's probably nothing though, I hope.

But the fact that I have nothing to worry about for at least a week feels like it's a cause for celebration. I will get right on planning that party after my sleep :)

Just a regular Sunday morning...

I'm listening to the Life on Mars soundtrack and I realized I totally miss my Life On Mars obsession. I need to revisit that fandom soon, because it was so FRICKING FANTASTIC! :D Oh well, I'm being a fangirl I suppose. I have a few episodes on my computer that I'll watch and we'll see where that goes.

Tomorrow I have a presentation on slavery due in my Social Science class and I have to organize and make notes and stuff like that. It's going to be interesting. Also, I need to write a wishlist for Christmas to my mother and find a beta to my Chuck/Blair fic. Anyone interested?

I've been a terrible commenter lately but that is because it seems like the power of words have failed me completely. Most entries are generally about people informing me what's going on in their lives, which is fantastic, but it's a bit hard to comment on on occasion. And it seems like I'm in one of those occasions right now.

Also, I need more Josh Groban music :D Oh, how I love thee. Although my sister is this close to put me in a treatment centre for the mentally disturbed. Even if Josh Groban represents 80% of what I listen to right now, it doesn't mean it's only Josh Groban, right? :P Besides, he's a good singer and it's such pleasant music so I'm hardly complaining.

This is what crack makes you do...

I'm writing a Chuck/Blair fic that is turning epic. Oh, eating-disorder!Blair, how I love writing thee. I really hope they give eating disorders to Blair. It would make a fantastic storyline and I'm sure it would be excellently played.

I want a boyfriend. One of those random wishes I have right now. Anyone know where I can find one? I tried the phone book but it doesn't help me that much :P

New mood theme!

I found this amazing Blair/Chuck mood theme (yes, I'm obsessed with Gossip Girl, but I'm a proud fan - I don't understand why not more people fangirl about this show because it's so dangerously addictive), so now I've changed mood theme! It's so shiny :D I have my two current favourite fandoms on my layout: Supernatural and Gossip Girl. Speaking of, I don't think I announced the change of layout. Kind of funny because they are two completely different kinds of shows.

I saw House. Wilson/House FTW.

And Pushing Daisies (that episode with the dogs). Oh Ollie, how I adore thee. Personally, I can't understand why Chuck is preferred over Ollie but maybe it's just because I have a tendency to root for the underdogs whereas I have a tendency to dislike whoever seems perfect or in control. I've fixed my old computer (thank god!) and now I'm gonna be sitting here a lot more unlike on my laptop.

FTP server for mood themes?

Can anyone host my mood themes? Preferably someone who has an FTP server because I'm extremely lazy about uploading it to Photobucket and I don't want to install Flock on my laptop. I have all these mood themes I wanna use. I found some great ones.

I'm really proud of some of the icons I made today. This one for example. I thought it was really pretty. I had originally planned to use a SPN icon but the prettiness of this killed me and I had to use it. I'm still two episodes behind on Moonlight which would be distressing if it wasn't so that I hadn't done it intentionally.

Is anyone interested in an icon post? I've also made Gossip Girl, Heroes, North & South, James McAvoy ♥, Supernatural etc.

Sorry for the lack of quality in this post. And my previous. But... y'know.

University research

Gossip Girl owned everything. Heroes, not so much.

Heroes 2x07 Out of Time - at least I think it was called that )

Gossip Girl 1x07 Victorola, Victorola - again, I think it was called )

Yesterday I spent most of my free time doing research on universities abroad. I'm setting my goals high but that is only because I know no other way to aim. I really really want to go to either Cambridge, Oxford and then there was another university which name I can't remember. By the way, do you know anywhere you can search/find universities in Britain by region?

Apparently the universities in America are very nice (I've heard) but I absolutely refuse. It's just the accent and the culture in the country that I really don't want to be a part of. But I might look at universities there as well, to broaden my horizons at least.

To be honest, I'm really looking forward to the whole paper "searching scolarships" part of the application bit. Even though I'm deadly nervous and a part of me is certain that I won't get any funds nor a place at any of the universities I wish to attend. Sure, this might be true about Cambridge and Oxford since they are apparently REALLY good and I'm sure millions of people apply every year.

Spanish Essays & Gossip Girl

I'm sitting here in Spanish class (technically not a class since our Spanish teacher is away on business but whatever) and we're supposed to write this essay about a Spanish singer and I chose Shakira (okay, she's Columbian but whatever, that's like Spanish, right?) and the essay thing is supposed to be aprox. one page. I mean, if I've written about half a page with a really big headline - that's still aproximately one page, right? ^^ Be honest.

I'm using this icon because I feel like I haven't been loving Master/Lucy as faithfully as I can. Sad but very true. I miss Doctor Who. I think I should do that marathon really soon. As well as a Supernatural one (still need to buy season two, I haven't gotten around to it yet).

Also, I just turned in my paper so I might be able to go to Ghana. Keep your fingers crossed that I and everyone else who applied (or is it whom? I don't know when to use what most of the time. Explain s'il vous plait?) are allowed to go. I know some people are applying and it would be great to go to Ghana with them!

GG, Pushing Daisies and school

I have my day off today from school, but as usual that doesn't mean I get to rest or do something fun (heaven forbid!). I've seen the latest Heroes episode which was... well, personally, it was good - the cast is amazing and always does a fantastic job so it can never be bad persay - but a bit disappointing because I had high hopes for this episode. Anyway, that wasn't spoilery was it? Felt a bit unnecessary to cut.

Is it wrong of me to think that Gossip Girl is one of the best new shows this season? I think the new episode airs today in Canada which means tomorrow - GOSSIP TIME! - but well... that was just a sidenote. Sticking to the topic. I mocked Gossip Girl first, with all the interviews and its cast, I secretly laughed every time I saw someone mentioning them. But I like the show. I think it was better and in a way more realistic than the OC or One Tree Hill. Well, season one of OTH was gold, then it was just crap. Pushing Daisies is good, but it feels a bit... I don't know.

Chuck's innocent attitude was adorable the first episode whereas she was close to annoying throughout the latest episode. Lee Pace is adorable as always and I think he and the PI do a fantastic job. But I don't know... it just seems like the colour's gone from the show a bit? Maybe it was just that one episode that I didn't like all too much.

Anyway, Gossip Girl might not be groundbreaking and some characters are extremely annoying (Jenny Humphrey, I'm talking to you) but some are absolute gold (Blair, Dan, Chuck) and those who aren't gold are at least acceptable (Nate, Serena).

Also, I love the clothes in that show ♥ And sort of how appearance seems to be the main theme throughout the show. Life isn't as... well, glamorous as in The OC because... well, in a way GG seems more grounded in real problems and real situations.

Anyway, I'll go and read the Tenant at Wildfell Hall or The Poisonwood Bible soon. School owns me. Sad but true.

Bonne Chance!

A big happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] stephie04 and a huge welcome to [livejournal.com profile] sazzlette and [livejournal.com profile] guest_age :D

I have a French presentation today as well as a Spanish test. Keep your fingers crossed for me?

Gossip Girl soon down. I shouldn't love this show but it's growing painfully addictive. I absolutely love Blair. I'm not much for Serena but Blair, Dan and Chuck. I love those three. And I wouldn't mind writing fics about them. Speaking of, I'm writing one Chuck/Blair and one Blair/Dan. Anyone interested in reading?

Also, Pushing Daisies is the cutest thing ever. I just thought I'd get it out there. I just love that show... Everything about it. I can't wait till Thursday. Lee Pace is such a cutie.

The new crack

I shouldn't like Gossip Girl. But man, I do! Blair/Chuck is the best kind of crack ever *happy sigh*

Am I the only that's feeling the love for this guilty pleasure? :D

Off to Malmö, I hope you all have great days and I'll see you again on Wednesday. Sorry for my unactiveness but internet is slower than a snail *cries*
