It seems like there's a universal heatwave or something is in the works because whenever you turn, there's people being hot and bothered and computers acting wonky because if it. It's sort of amusing and in some strange way, it makes me want to be outside in it, even though I've had, for as far as I can recall, had an incredible dislike for sunshine and sunbathing. Sure, it's nice when it's warm and all that but I've never understood the thing where you sit in a windless corner and put yourself through sweat and all that stuff. But, the weather is interesting. I approve.

Lately, I've grown sort of 'meh' towards TV shows. There's too much meddling with the product from the fans and stuff like that for someone to really appreciate it. I mean, at least I watch a show to see a story, not watch my two favourite characters fall in love and out again etc. (*cough* Veronica Mars, I'm looking at you) whereas movies and stuff are much more rewarding in that aspect because even though the story doesn't get as much time to develop, it's at least a story from end to finish instead of having anything thrown around to improve ratings.

Am I the only one feeling this way? Or have I been in the sun too long?

And since we're in the subject of movies and whatnot, I thought I'd list my current favourite actors and actresses for various reasons:
Claire Danes, Clémence Poésy, Gael Garcia Bernal, Audrey Hepburn, Hugh Dancy, James McAvoy, Diego Luna... I probably forgot one or two but those are my current obsessions.


Also, Claire Danes/Hugh Dancy is kind of my celeb OTP, if I now have such a thing. Even though I like seeing pics of them floating around, I sort of wish that the paps would leave them alone, y'know? I'm thinking about doing a Claire/Hugh picspam. Anyone would be interested in seeing? I have a BUNCH of pics.

Any recs?

I'm really in the mood to print out some fan fictions and keep it in this folder that I have so I can read good fics without having to go online or such. Or keep like an archive of good fics on my computer. And therefore I'm asking you whether or not you have any favourites in these fandoms that you think I could enjoy:

Doctor Who (Doctor/Rose or gen, Master/Lucy), Supernatural (gen and/or Sam/Ruby), Gossip Girl (Eric & Chuck friendship, Chuck/Blair, Blair/Nate, Vanessa/Dan, Vanessa/Nate), X-Files, Sarah Connor Chronicles (John/Cameron, Cameron/Derek or some sort of triangle), Smallville (Clark/Lois, Lois/Oliver, Lois & Jimmy), Torchwood (Ianto/Jack, Ianto/Owen, Owen/Tosh, Ianto/John - haha, just something I thought of - oh the plot bunnies I just had), Ugly Betty (Betty/Gio), Criminal Minds (Reid, gen), Life on Mars (gen, Sam/Annie), Veronica Mars (Veronica/Weevil, Veronica/Lamb, Veronica/Duncan, Veronica/Piz, gen), Battlestar Galactica (Gaius/Six), Buffy The Vampire Slayer/Angel (I guess I can read anything but Spuffy and/or Angel/Cordelia at this point).

Also, huge happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] missambs :D
starsthatshine: (mars: hello mrs wallace)
Still pulling out a general request of a header to my journal to whoever feels charitable ;) Fandoms: Doctor Who, Veronica Mars, Supernatural, Life on Mars, X-Men, Sarah Connor Chronicles and/or X-Files. I'd love to have at least three different fandoms in the header. (Sorry if I'm being a pain, I hope I'm not :))

Huge happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] feminosity.

I'm suppose to write a speech for Swedish class based on the theme Truth and Fiction, which is easier said than done. I'm in sheer panic-mode. I'm supposed to be prepared tomorrow and I don't even have a SUBJECT. And to make things even more hellish, I'm suppose to use the material which exists in a little leaflet and it's close to impossible.

We had a UN roleplay yesterday at school and I was a delegate for Saudi Arabia and according to various, completely unrelated comments, I was best dressed. Awesomeness.
starsthatshine: (office: the temptation burns)
Sorry for my without-notice absense but the thing is that Internet stopped working a few days back and it hasn't fixed itself yet so... now that I'm at school, I have to do all my Internet surfing and this is the first time I'm able to get online.

However, I haven't spent all my time doing nothing. I have in fact been watching Veronica Mars season one again and I've forgotten how incredibly awesome this show was. In season one though, I must admit I'm all about Veronica/Duncan (or Veronica/Weevil) but in season two I didn't have a ship and in season three came Veronica/Piz :D

Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to be online more and hopefully my Internet starts working soon :D
starsthatshine: (vmars: chillin' like a villian)
I officially have no idea how to work the tumbler (?)! I always end up getting the opposite effect of what I want - meaning wet clothes. *headdesk* I love being in charge of laundry. Doesn't at all put any kind of pressure on me that if I screw up, I'll have two sisters who will be very pissed because they'll be clothes-less... Oh the joyous day when my mother returns...

I'm in such a Veronica Mars mood that I'm thinking about rewatching season one, although I probably won't until I've read through The Golden Compass (aka. Nothern Lights).

Also, as much as I adore the English language (I'm an English junkie), I'm not so sure I'm looking forward to English class, which is incredibly weird. I probably just really need this break that's coming up. At least I have French tomorrow, which I'm oddly looking forward to.

Reading Schedule:
Pre-break reading: The Golden Compass
Break reading: Atonement
If-there's-more-time-during-break reading: The Golden Compass

Also I'm thinking about rereading the Fearless series by Francine Pascal. I remember being such a huge fan a couple of years ago. Gaia is like Veronica Mars, totally kick-ass. *sigh* Such a wonderful series of books. Need. to. buy. more. I think I've read up to 13 but... for some reason some of my books aren't where they're supposed to be, now I notice. Oh woe.

Edit: Are there any extra material on the season one DVD of Veronica Mars? If so, what? :P Commentaries? Interviews?
starsthatshine: (vmars: always on my mind)
I'm sitting in French class right now trying to memorize Le Loup et L'Agneau and La Cigale et la fourmi. Not the easiest task in the world. It's kind of annoying how our French teacher always have sleep-in mornings on our Tuesday lessons. Seriously. Every. fricking. time. And she complains (or well, she doesn't say it aloud but you can see it in her eyes) that we know too little in order to be on the fourth step. How are we supposed to learn if she's away 50% of our lessons? How are we supposed to learn to understand what things mean if we're just supposed to memorize them? We're not supposed to understand it, or it's not necessary anyway and I feel that even though I love French (and hate the lessons), it's impossible for me to learn anything under these conditions. Am I just being picky or do you agree? I mean, we have two lessons a week (sometimes three which is a lot more than the other languages) and she's always away on one of them these days.

I miss those lovely days when you had workbooks and had to fill stuff in and translate and whatever because then you actually learned a thing or two.

I don't know why but I suddenly miss Veronica Mars for no reason at all. I think it was because I uploaded this Veronica icon not too long ago. It makes me nostalgic. Man, I wish I had season one on DVD. And possibly three. And two. Although the latter seasons don't live up to the excellence that was the first. However, season three had Piz ♥ which is lovely. I didn't become that big of a Logan fan after season two. It just felt like they were trying to make a relationship that was doomed stay alive a little longer and ultimately, it wasn't a healthy relationship for either of them. Logan needed to sort out his issues and V needed to find a guy that didn't make her cry all the time. Maybe the Logan/Veronica/Piz thing was like a human Angel/Buffy/Spike thing. L/V was this whole epic thing but ended up being disastrous for both parties. Ish.

I'm saying that my Peter/Nathan/Sylar fic was a success. I'm so happy people liked it. I've written about half a page and I'll continue later tonight to write it finished or I'll rewrite what I have no far. Not sure if I like it though.

I just saw the Piz/Veronica scene in 319 or whatever the episode number is and all I have to say is ♥ I will say no more than that.

Now I can officially never have multimedia again. I've finished the course and I would get a sleep morning tomorrow but we're having national exams, so I have to be there at 8.25 any way.

Now it's back to flist checking time :D

Now, I started 10.55 today. I was at English class, was confused, and after that I got a free facial (I might buy a facial cream from that place, the woman who did the facial said it was good). What is funny is that the facial was a commercial thing so therefore it was free. With me, however, she said I could take the facial once or twice if I wanted to but she recommended this cream instead. It was sort of funny in a way.

Also, I've started to listen to The Gathering and Within Temptation today. Found a bunch of songs that a friend of mine had sent me ages ago.

Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] prettygood! I hope you have a good day.

Back to my day, after the facial, I went back to the optician (third time in three days) to return the glasses I had tried and ended up walking home with two new ones to try out. They were more me. Also my mother took a picture of me today with her cellphone, and I hope she'll do so I can show you guys. Also there's some beautiful pictures of the snow today which I hopefully will show later on.

So expect a picture filled post later.

The new Veronica Mars episode. One word: Finally! Oh well, perhaps not the newest episode, it was the one with the pregnancy and the determination pills (can't remember the real word, or rather, the one they used in the show). Hope there will be some Piz in the next episode.

(Yes, the entry title makes me very clever ;))

I'm beginning to see a trend in the Veronica Mars fandom that scares me to death, similar to an existing one in the Harry Potter fandom. This trend is Mac/Dick. It just annoys me to see how people are into this pairing so bad and so it would create some sort of 'one big happy family' scenario and it just sickens me. The worst thing about it is that before the idea was just annoying - now suddenly - people have acutally something to base it on *headdesk* (talking about that minor actually pretty insignificant scene between them in 3x01). Reminds me so much of the Ron/Hermione/Ginny/Harry situation in HP. Someone please pull me away from this fandom? Seriously. I should probably defriend all Veronica Mars related communities (besides [livejournal.com profile] rack_of_lamb because that's probably one of the best communities ever), so I can still watch the show without being horrified.

And speaking of all things random:

Shonda Rhimes -
Please give Addison a happy ending. Preferably with Mark. She deserves it. Or with Finn. But she shouldn't have to take from 'The Meredith Trash Can', so preferably with Mark.
With much love,
A fan.
PS: If Mark/Meredith happens, I'll hunt you.

Seriously, Grey's Anatomy is turning into One Tree Hill... with scaples. And GA is actually good. Everyone is basically sleeping with everyone. So much drama. Good drama. But that kind of drama makes me nervous, makes me wanna go and puke and fast-forward the entire show till the end so I know how it'll end.

Back at mom's now. I'm thinking about ditching Microsoft XP completely and go SuSe on everyone. What do you think of that? My dad has the latest - 10.0 (or at least it was the latest) - but there's only a major problem: IT CAN'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO PLAY VIDEO FILES. LIKE... NONE. WHICH MEANS NO EPISODE VIEWING ON MY COMPUTER. OR MUSIC VIDEOS. I'D DIE.

Sorry for the caps lock. But this is important - if anyone knows a solution - please - I'd give birth to your children just if you let me know what the solution could be.

Also, I'd be saying goodbye to Photoshop but my sis promised I could use hers.

Also, I figured out a completely new hair style. I own. :D

I'm still being a bit MIA when it comes to LJ and I'm horrible at keeping this journal updated it feels like, even though I updated like... yesterday. I'm in a huge mood for sort of non-girly shows like Supernatural, Bones and all CSI spin-offs. Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls, [insert other girly shows with too much drama for their own good] are just shows I'm bored to death with. I'm in a violent mood *lol* At the moment.

I'm currently writing an essay with the question: "The state appeared in the first highcultures. What is a state? How come it was created? Which functions did it fill in the highcultures?"

And it's offically kicking my ass. Badly. Anyone got any suggestions?

I'm going to this party tonight with a few friends called 'Insparken' and I'm a bit dobutful but I'm sure it will go well. Talk to you all later. Take care and sorry for the lack of comments ;)

Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] charmedslayer27, I hope you'll have a great birthday.

I just read this amazing interview with Michael Muhney, Jason Dohring and the dude who plays Dick (fandom: Veronica Mars) at Neptune Pirate Radio. Michael Muhney is awesome, but most of us already knew that (some has yet to be exposed to the awesomeness that is him). I realize I pretty much stay out of fandom for like... ages, but that's because I find the fandom sort of scary. So many ship Veronica/Logan so deadly, while I in a way couldn't bring myself to care after the prom episode. I'm still hoping for Lamb/Veronica LMAO.

Also, I'm thinking about kicking it old school and watch some Buffy episodes. It's so sad that my journal is overloaded with X-Men and Doctor Who. *nods* Yes, very sad indeed. If I could find some Veronica/Weevil icons and some Veronica/Lamb, it would be awesome. I just wish I could hype about Veronica Mars these days.

I'm going to do the remaining header requests later, because my sister woke me up too early and I'm all dead. You can request more headers on my previous post.
starsthatshine: (veronica mars // bff)
Watching Veronica Mars on my computer right now. It's Plan B. One of my favourite season two episodes. I realized I need some Weevil/Veronica icons because they are well... OTP. Finally I've decided my OTP - Veronica/Weevil and Veronica/Lamb. Veronica Mars makes me on occasion very nostalgic.

Now I'm going to read the third book in the Sister in Jeans series. Gonna be interesting.
starsthatshine: (x-men // i'll protect you)
I just realized just now that.... I miss Queer as Folk terribly. I have just watched the first season and random episodes of what seemed good in the show but darn it - I wanna watch the entire show even though I just watch for BJ... sorta. And Deb. But still, I miss the show.

Veronica Mars got renewed (everyone's been saying it and I thought I had to so people won't think I'm crazy) and One Tree Hill as well... I don't know if I should laugh or cry - OTH is serious crap besides Sophia and the rest of the wonderful cast, the storytelling completely stinks. Now I'll just wait for it to be cancelled, because if it doesn't - I'll still be watching... I need someone to pull me away from OTH. Fast.

X-Men is complete love. It's not too long now till the new movie and I encourage everyone to see it. I am. Pretty pleasers, it would make me so happy. I hope that Anna Paquin will be in the Wolverine movie. "Wovo"/Rogue owns at life.

I still can't comment, other than a few lucky chances, but as soon as I sit on another computer - I will. Promise. I don't ignore you.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] jadedmisery if you ever feel like making more X-Men icons - I'm right behind you - supporting you as I go ;) You make the prettiest X-Men icons I've seen.

Mulder/Krycek fan fic thing that I'm bothered about )

Still no television for me, mainly because the timing has been generally off lately and I haven't even seen Bones this week. I partly regret it. It was beginning to be good. And if Booth had a character development/revelation episode, I'll die.

I'll kill my sister for just letting me see teasers of the VM finale because she has made icons *serious anger* A ship spoiler but still. I still think that those icons should be under complete cuts with no teasers. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE FINALE YET.

I should probably read the Da Vinci Code soon *groan* Not a good book so far.
starsthatshine: (vm // veronica smiles)
I'm actually writing Veronica Mars fan fictions.... I'm probably going insane. And I'm not doing a LoVe one. Well, I'm not totally bashing them or anything but I'll try a different pairing, just don't know which yet. I'm terribly excited to do a WeeVer one. As far as LoVe concerns, it won't decend to anything other than friendship. It's based on that last scene in the prom episode, although the scene looked a bit different.

Preview of my fan fiction )

Please let me know what you think. I have one friend who says it will just be perfect friendship between LoVe - I don't know.

I'm offically stuck with it.

I actually feel like writing Alias and Prison Break and Supernatural too... Although I have no idea how. Maybe make an OC in Supernatural in stead of Prison Break? It wouldn't be the same thing, but it would be a lot easier. Although a OC in SPN wouldn't be a good idea. Fic ideas? I was thinking that maybe I could write Meg/Daddy Winchester but I hate Meg so... I need ideas. Even though Sam/Dean has their subtexty love, I just can't bring myself to actually read anything where they actually do something. Maybe sort of a family fic with Mama Winchester/Dean? That's a pairing that has never been explored much in canon other than mentionings.

Guess where I'm typing this? I mean, not pain old Windows - nooo - I've finally understood the shiny of Linx/Suse or whatever you cool people call it. Anyways, the font is like mega tiny and the icons are like a centimetre each side but it's mega awesome. I think I might start use this more. Bad thing? No MSN or AIM here, but I'll live.

Veronica Mars shows season one right now on Channel 2 (swedish) and I'm a bad fan for not watching but... computer time!! I'll make sure I'll get to watch the last 30 minutes. I don't know what episode it is (I never get the chance to watch since I always forget when it's on) but I'll definately make a habit out of watching now. I have to make sure. *nods*

I'm just typing up my History thing and my dad thought I was assuming too much but I tried to explain that it wasn't the point of the essaything *thud* It's like talking to a wall - impossible. Well, well... Whatever. I've learned that I probably shouldn't ask dad's opinion unless it's a REAL paper because he cuts it into pieces. Whatever ;)

Well.... What to say? My mother comes home tonight. Not gonna see her until tomorrow though, and I'm not sure how to react. Well, denial's pretty. I want Grey's Anatomy on DVD....
starsthatshine: (Default)
I have yet to check everyone's entries right now but I thought I'd post my thoughts of the latest Veronica Mars episode:

Veronica Mars latest episode in the US )

I better stop now. My little sister wants the computer. Peace y'all :)
starsthatshine: (vm // lazy stupid)
I have a feeling that my sister knows me a little bit too well when she sends me this and says I'm going to squee myself to death. I have no idea why I think Michael Muhney is so brilliant (other than the fact that he is) but well... I always think it's so awesome to read articles and so with him in them. He's different from all the other actors in the business and I like that.

What do I need to say? I've stuck myself in the Disney swamp and I'm desperately trying to pull myself out of it as soon as possible. It's not good for my poor poor brain. Especially making 50 icons in like three hours. Not at all pretty. It took me about 3 minutes on each icon, I've calculated. *drops dead* I'm so never making an icon again.

My dad came by today and drama was major. Avoided it for the time being and my nerves will stress themselves to death tomorrow again. I'm not a fan of this. I'm wondering when exactly I'll get my holiday, since if this continues I'll clib up the walls because I'm becoming so majorly stressed about this. Well well...

Let's just think of how brilliant Michael Muhney is and then maybe I'll stop to think about strange family situations. Yes, I'm fangirling him like a little but I'm really trying to like... be normal about it. Well.... I decidate this entry to Michael Muhney because well... he's teh awesome.

Btw, I saw there's no Bedford Diaries second episode anywhere. I have an itch. And I can't do stratch. [/Dark Angel reference].

Btw, having Amber Benson on Veronica Mars would be the best thing ever. I mean, like totally. She could play like a shopkeeper or maybe someone at college or something. It would be just so completely and utterly awesome.

Also, one thing about Veronica Mars; she's gratuating this year yeah? In case, I'm so happy that the makers didn't do it like she went on the first year of high school. That would've been boring.

I ramble. Watch me soar. [/Firefly reference]

I wonder where I could get a normal brain.....

Welcome [livejournal.com profile] sassy_mouth to my flist. I hope you'll have a great time here.

Today totally... was weird. I was armed and ready to tackle the class with my greatness and show Serenity for the poor uneducated minds that haven't watched this movie. I'd even printed out pictures on all the characters in question and all... But since apparently the Serenity disc was burned as a CD I couldn't play it. I guess those minds have to be blown away at a later date.

So on Tuesday, I'm going a little bit early to school to get my DVD player from home and then lock it into school. I'm a bit nervous about that but I don't have to think about precausions for another two weeks since there's her holiday and then there's Easter.

I totally joined [livejournal.com profile] rack_of_lamb today. Why? Because Michael Muhney owns. And Lamb too. I wanna write Veronica/Lamb fan fictions so badly but unfortunately, I just don't have the creative enegry, the spirit or the well... *hides from Cami and everyone* talent. But I'll see if I can't watch Veronica Mars later and maybe then I'll get one good idea.

My mother is now officially either on a plane to Egypt or she's in Arlanda. I'm always nervous when she flies because what if something happens to the plane? I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I just hope everything's OK with her.

My Watching Plan For This Weekend:
Belphegor, Phantom of the Louvre
Serenity
Veronica Mars
Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire
X-Men 1
A Very Long Engagement
Serenity
Firefly
Maaaybe Gilmore Girls
Rewatch The Bedford Diaries. Miiiiiiilo.
