Today has been a day of financial woe, as those of you who have read my entries today have been very much aware of. I promise I'm not usually this dramatic (and I'm still working on that About Me post...) and well... it all started with me showing my grandmother where me and my sister are going to be, at least where we think we'll be, and we started to look on accommodation costs and so forth and therefore, I had all of this economy angst. It's somewhat more stable now though.

And thankfully, fridizh brightened my day by inviting me to her house in Nordmaling on Saturday and those who helped during my panic attack with the tuition fees are complete angels. Without you, I'd probably be sitting in a corner somewhere, crying because I was so afraid.

And because of this mess with the economy, I've decided to structure my life more properly. I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself and try to do something about my situation. I'm going to apply for a job (there's this thing on [insert day] that I'm going to go to). Sometimes when life really seems to attack me on all angles, I get this 'lay down and pretend to be dead' response and sometimes, most often, I get a 'let's do something constructive of this' response. When it comes to getting a job, I'll most likely do the first and feel sorry for myself. When it's uni, I'll get the second response.

As I mentioned before, pre all my financial talk, I've started to watch Boys over Flowers, and I adore it even though I've already seen the Japanese one, and now I've got my sister hooked on it as well! :D Score! :D

I just finished Life on Mars and I have one question:

What the fuck?!

I mean, I always thought that I understood what was going on, and I think I still do but... man, it's twisted. ( thoughts )

Welcome comiskey to my flist :D I hope you'll have an awesome time :D

I suddenly felt like doing a Life on Mars/Doctor Who crossover *grins madly* Rose/Sam unite :D Keepin' it in the family and all ;) For those who don't know; their last names are both Tyler, which I somehow find amusing even though it's really ridiculous.

Seriously, I didn't realize how deep Life on Mars had me until now when I can't stop bloody thinking about it (again, I'm adapting Gene's wonderful vocabulary, I don't usually use words like this lol). I need more british shows to watch. All the shows I've watched are quality stuff, or at least quality entertainment. Doctor Who, Skins, Life on Mars, Torchwood (okay, it might be a bit... off but it's still good :P).

Speaking of shows, I tried to watch Hidden Palms but it's just this teenage drama type A. You've got the Marissa character (or Peyton character if you speak One Tree Hill), you've got the Ryan character (Lucas), the Seth character (Mouth), the Lindsay character (Brooke), the Anna character (Brian Greenberg's character's ex) etc. etc. and it makes it sort of predictable. Also, I hate TV that has perfect people on it. People who look perfect tends to have gotten the part based on their talent, maybe, but at least 50% goes into whether or not they are fit for the part, look-wise, which in my opinion is rather messed up, but that's TV these days...

Anyway, Hidden Palms, not a big hit.

Traveler though - FAN-FRICKIN' AMAZING!!!! If you haven't started watching this show, you're seriously missing out. I love it so bad. The actors are fantastic and the plot is actually intriguing. Let me just ask you this: Who is Will Traveler? (besides the obvious answer, Aaron Stanford *g*). Best show on right now.

I've changed my payment plan (or whatever you're supposed to call it) on my cellphone. Before I had Telia Refill (which any living person in Sweden knows costs a fortune and a half) but now I'm changing to Parlino (I got attacked by a salesman at ICA and then well... it sounded smart but it might end up costing me a lot more than what I have now because I rarely use my cellphone). Feel kinda bad about it, now after coming home and well... have time to think and looked up a couple of stuff that the salesman said that was incorrect. I hate the fact that you have to pay 99 SEK every month to keep that payment plan. Sure it's free to Telia, Tele3Conviq, Halebop and all those but... *headdesk* I rarely use 99 SEK in two months as it is now but then again, I might be rarely using my cellphone because it's such a high price now.

Not that it would make much difference. Well, the guy at the store said I could throw away the card if I wanted. Might do that when it's time to pay or something I suppose.

I was at H&M today (I had a weak moment, I had to shop something after my insanity yesterday *g*) and I found two tops. One of them I'm not sure about. Yellow sort of party top, but the other was this white halterneck that was extremely pretty, or at least it looked pretty on me. H&M doesn't exactly have pretty clothes. Or well, some, but in general things that are there are... well, I was about to use Gene's vocabulary again and say shit but that's not really fair considering H&M is Swedish in origin (lol) and well... they do have nice stuff on occasion.

However, I want to find a nice bag to have for school next year. Which they don't got so I have to go on a "city-wide search" next time I'm in town.

I want to buy a digital camera and rant about the things I see in stores... or rather, I just want a digital camera. *nods* I wanna take pictures and I want a video camera so I can make video clips and stuff. It would be hilarious *dreams*

Posted a new Micah/Molly story, along with a header if you want it, here if you haven't seen it already. Or you will have if you keep walking through your flist, I donno.

Now I've babbled enough. I'll go to bed now. Need to get my sleeping pattern in order.

Huge happy birthday to bluebear_74! :D I hope you'll have the most awesome birthday (I already read a bit about what happened but still).

Today my Easter Break officially began, since I ended school today. Of course I had to go a full day and finish my essay but I say that it's a break as soon as you're "off the clock", sort of say. It didn't turn out well though. It started with me seeing the bus I was going to take slowly drive away as I was probably 200-300 metres away. Not exactly the best thing, mind you. But it did gave me a chance to read some more Harry Potter, a task which I'm totally failing by the way. I'm so behind the reading that it's not even funny.

Also I got to choose my courses for next year. Remember me saying that the Europe class was going to be included in my International Work Profile? (ehm, probably not since I do not believe I've mentioned it) Well, it's not. So apparently I'm going to have to either read 100 points too much or I'll have to cut either Psychology A or Europe class... I don't really wanna cut either because both seem like excellent courses. Psychology is something I've always wanted to take and Europe class seems like a good choice considering the direction I'm heading in (also, I'd have one of the best teachers in my school).

I also joined a RPG board. You know, one of those old school things... I really wanted to RP with someone with stuff, try on new things and such but unfortunately it seems to take forever to get one's biography approved so you can start posting. Quite sad actually, thinking about it. I have all this enegry that I want to put on creative writing but I lack everything besides the sheer willpower. You create your own characters and play with them. If anyone wants to join me, let me know and I'll post you a link :D

This is just one of those quick "before going to bed" entries.

I saw The Number 23 today with my sister and a friend of ours (huge hugs to you sweetie if you read this, I hope you had a lovely time). I recommend the movie. Perhaps not the best movie ever made but decent enough, I suppose.

I also started to read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because that is one of the four books I have in English when it's about Harry Potter. I joined read_hp earlier this month, as you might remember, but I didn't really have the enegry to read it before. I have no idea why but now I'm going to make an effort. I guess I just didn't really feel happy about reading the first book, which I've read 27 times.

Doctor Who started today with its third season. I'm very excited about it even though I won't see it until Monday, I think. But I hope that it will be sooner, but I'm very doubtful.

What else? Not sure if there's much to tell... I'm going to my dad's wife's daughter's boyfriend's birthday party tomorrow. I feel as if I should make an effort to look nice but... I suppose that I'm too tired to think about it right now.

Anything new going on with you? Any exciting things to share? How's your day been?

So I know I've been probably driving you crazy with these small notes of my whereabouts and I haven't really been actively speaking to anyone in the Internet world, save a few people, who are patient enough to poke me when they feel that they have the time to talk. I know I've been neglecting remember_nomore and our RPG terribly (take_meunder if anyone wants to see it, I play Sam, believe it or not). But I hope I'll get better at it, I promise. I just wish you won't delete me because I'm inactive at times (a tend, I don't quite understand - if you want to make your flist smaller, why delete the inactive ones? They create fewer entries) but oh well, let's talk about something else.

I'm getting glasses. There, now I've said it. I'm a bit far-sighted as I suspected and apparently I'm a -1. Does that say anything to anyone? Is it much? I'd really like to know.

I saw Alias season one. Man, I'm gonna have a marathon and watch that all the time. Not only was that TV show the first season I ever bought on DVD (the start of an empire, my friends) but also it's such a FRICKING GOOD SHOW. Sadly, the quality didn't last and despite of amazing cast members such as Lena Olin, Victor Garber, Ron Rifkin, Balthazar Getty, Melissa Geroge (<3) etc. etc. the quality didn't last. That makes me sad. The first episode was so amazingly brilliant. I watched it with my mother and her husband.

The ratings from them?
Mom: 2 (she hates TV shows with a firey passion because my grandmother - on my father's side - was obsessed - I mean insanely obsessed, with soaps)
Hany (mom's husband): 4

We are going to watch it together some other time! Yay!

I'm going to look at glasses with my dad tomorrow and with my mom on Friday. I have such mature parents *snort* Not. My mom is actively avoiding dad because he was mean one time and they are sort of having a power struggle between them.

The others (my sisters) are fine but since I live 50-50, I'm caught in the crossfire. For example, my mom didn't go to my parent-teacher talk. I think it's called something along the lines of evaluation talk here in Sweden.

Anyway, I have to go. I didn't think I would have much to say, surprisingly, but I managed to get some stuff said. I'll try and check flists tomorrow, between Alias and school and glasses.

Found a pretty BSG Gaius/Six icon that I just had to use for this entry (hope you don't mind my obsessive mind ;)).

I'm pretty sure that I won't be watching Battlestar Galactica today which is probably the first time in days that I haven't. I'm quite proud of myself, honestly. ^^ I'm not sure that I can realize how obsessive I can be at times.

Back at school now and gaaah. It didn't start out well, but ended better. You see, I went to bed at 22.30 (11.30 PM for those who don't use normal "time-telling") and at about 4.00 I watched the moonlight for a while by my window to approximately 4.20-4.30. Oh, and I went up at 6.00, because you know - a girl has to look her best *cough* or rather, not go to school with dirty hair ;)

Well at school things ran pretty smoothly. I found out that a classmate of mine, ehm, rather my sister (lauren_sark, my twin and partner in crime for you who haven't made her acquaintance), bought me a Christmas present. Completely unexpected but extremely lovely. However, it makes me feel a tad bit guilty because I have nothing to give her. Also it was quite a shock because we don't talk too often, even though we have quite a few things in common. I really can't wait for tomorrow when I'll see what she's given me. She said she'd bring it to school tomorrow. I'M REALLY EXCITED. And curious. Very curious.

Oh, and my laptop (which I will borrow from the school for free!!!!!! Squeee!) will arrive probably in the middle of next week. And we get a backpack with it with our school's logo on it. *evil smile* Kind of geeky but in a way kind of stylish ;)

My body feel pretty much exhausted (and as if I've run a marathon) and that couldn't make me feel better. I'm happy about that. I feel as if I've accomplished to something today. My body is aching and I'm happy about it. Hmm. Strange world ;)

Edit: Btw, does anyone happen to have Stars Avenue - Fairytale Gone Bad?

So what is new? I went on a major spree impulse with my friends and coloured my hair brown again so now it doesn't look red. My hair needed the colouring although I'm not sure what my hair-dresser will feel about my coloured hair. LOL. I coloured it yesterday and I have an appointment the 21st. It will be interesting.

I saw the second episode of Battlestar Galactica (they are showing it on Channel 5 here) and I'm a bit confused and I don't really understand the hype. Well, I adore Gaius because.... le hot! And him and that strange girl that only he can see.... love them. I didn't understand much of the show since I haven't seen the pilot and I aren't allowed to watch it for my sis. But I'll watch it, you see, because he was hot and they were a cool pairing. I'm so desperately shallow, help me!

Also I nipped my eyebrows for the first time (ehm, not a day too soon). A friend of mine did it on me and I think it made it really pretty and I still got my eyebrows left, not like a thin line like most people have but actual brows. It felt as if the nerves in my eyebrows died there a while ^^

I wanna write Prison Break fics (even though I don't like the second season, at all. I hate when fandoms becomes OTH:ed) and Supernatural fics. Seriously. I so very much want to. I had a story once, a gen one, but I deleted the information and sort of... lost interest.

Now I'm gonna see 1x22 because that's the only ep I have :( I'm so envious on all of you who have the DVD. I refuse to give up on Amazon. And I need to look for a American Eagle bag. The perfect one that surfaced ages ago got sold before I could place a bid.

Also, I'm going to write a Harry Potter fan fic with a friend of mine. Muhaha.

I'm back from my hiatus btw :)

I'm gonna write a crappy Cedric/Fleur thing, then an just as crappy Snape/Narcissa. Ehm... I feel like giving Snape a daughter. Like, with Narcissa. Born in secrecy and all. Who would look like Summer Glau (she sort of looks the part, Snape's black hair and Narcissa's look, although Narcissa's somewhat more harsh).
