So, I just did a pretty big friends cut. I just don't see the point if I never talk to you or if I don't even remember who the fuck you are. I'm sure everyone says this but, really, don't take it personally.

Oh god, kill me now. What am I doing?

I'm on Twitter!

ADD ME.

So I've got about 60 unread messages and I keep procrastinating the whole 'Epic E-Mail Reading Afternoon Of Doom'... but DON'T WORRY I WILL STILL COMMENT ON YOUR STUFF!

adelate, I hope you are going to survive without Camp Sparkle now... and if you don't, make sure to pay a visit once you're haunting us all. Btw, did you get my card?

Also, I just got my English Exam back... you know, the one I screwed up? Well, I've kinda got 14 points. Aka an A. Huh. And I'm already writing the next exam on Wednesday. Why yes, I'm kinda stressed out right now.

Especially since we're writing a German exam about a book I haven't read yet and I won't find the time to read it today, either. Plus, interpreting Die Leiden Des Jungen Werthers is kinda more difficult than Emilia Galotti. And, quite possibly, I should have just paid more attention in class but you can't have everything... right?

Oh and I managed to get into risu_hime's project about Japan & Anime! We have considered showing some Shônen-Ai images... :D

By the way, I think that (with the exception of risu_hime who is The Awesomeness in person) I get along a lot better with guys than with girls. I mean, I get along with girls just fine but I feel way more comfortable hanging out with guys.

Or, to put it in Merlin's (why yes, that's his real name) words: "Hey, wait a minute... we can talk about girls! She's bi!"
(he also has the habit of calling me bi-girl... while yelling across the street. oh well.)

So we made Saturday our poker night, and although I lost, I didn't lose alone - besides, it was the first time I ever played Poker - and I actually quite like it! :D (the huge amounts of popcorn may have had something to do with it though)

Even though I have virtually no time these days, I've started watching Project Runway, which is better than I thought.

Hey, J2 fic made me do it!

So! This week's stress is over, but next week isn't going to be that awesome either. Got a french and music exam, plus my parents are on vacation now and this house is just so freaking big, which means there's going to be some more work to do. I haven't read my f-list yet, and I don't know if I'll get to do that today cause my sister is visiting and we've got a lot of catching up to do.

Actually, I just had a pretty long conversation with her about work cause, let's face it, I have no fucking clue what I'm going to study or work as. That's what I'm slightly jealous of when it comes to my siblings: they already knew what they were going to do for the rest of their lives when they were fourteen and they went ahead and did it and they are fucking good at it. My brother's doing this whole IT thing and my sister's like the new world's-best-oboeist. Me? I dabble in some stuff but basically, there is nothing I'm exceptionally good at. I kinda feel like I'm walking around with a giant question mark over my head.

The only thing I do know is that I want to do something that involves English. Cause I seem to be kinda good at that as long as I pay attention and don't just write something for the sake of it, like in this blog. (Yes, I know that my grammar tends to suck when I post here). Plus, I seem to have become some sort of walking dictionary at school - or even outside of it. It's always like "Hey, Yoko, what's the English word for xyz?" or "Can you take a look at my homework?" or now a colleague of my mom actually asked me to translate a letter she's going to send to some international i-don't-know-what. Yehaw.

By the way, I'm reading Bill Bryson's "Mother Tongue" at the moment and I can only recommend it - it's about the English language, its origins and compared to other languages and generally a really fun read :)

Oh and I'm going to write an article about Towel Day for our student magazine cause it's like the worst magazine ever and another boring article isn't going to hurt anyone (some 6th graders want to write about a by-now-dead [!] dog, which lead to me and some other guy talking about zombie dogs and I actually suggested writing about zombie survival training and the head of the magazine was just like "yeah, well, why not." I mean, come on!).

So - who's participating in Towel Day? I definitely am :D

Meh, I have this cool plot idea and I also want to catch up on some old fanfics (not to mention all the new ones!) but I don't have the bloody time! Got to do some work for Geology, German and English now and then study for tomorrow's French exam and maybe make a salad for dinner and spend some time talking to my sister who's going to be leaving again tomorrow and uargh, I need a vacation.

In conclusion, I can't exactly guarantee that I'll be commenting on anything next week either but I'll try. See you guys *hugs*

Oh, fuck, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY adelate!!! Please let me know if that postcard arrived ;)

ETA: So I just ate the most delicious salad, drank home-made ice tea cause my sister is awesome, haven't done ANY work yet (and did i mention that i've got an exam tomorrow?) but I have caught up with my f-list!!! I also have 13 tabs open with stories I want to read. This is going to be a long night...

Happy Birthday risuhime!! *tacklehugs*

Also, I WIN AT LIFE. I DO! Just got a couple of exams back and I got THE BEST FRENCH EXAM WITH 13 POINTS AND THE BEST MATHS EXAM WITH 15 (!) POINTS - THAT'S AN A+!!! *does happy dance*

To be honest, I'm not quite sure how that happened!

I also chose my Advanced Classes for next year: English and History. My final exams in two years will look like this then: English, History, German, Maths, French. I think I'll manage :)

Two recs, cause they just are that awesome:

He Comes To Save The Day by longsufferingly (Jensen/Jared)
Jared is really just an old-fashioned boy out to save the world. With lapdances. Featuring confused Jensen, helpful Chris, receptionist Chad, and pimp Misha.

Love's Not Time's Fool by tigers_prowl (Chris/Steve)
Chris turns up on his doorstep, easy as you please: hair longer, that damn cowboy hat tipped low over his eyes, cocky smirk on his lips. Only sign he’s not so sure is the way he’s standing, the slight slouch, one leg back and foot turned like he’s ready to run away.

The latter is my favourite present-time Chris/Steve fic ever. Seriously. It's the kind of moment that I'd really really really love to happen. ♥

Kinda random, but is it bad if you want someone to be sick, just so that you can talk to them for an hour while everyone else plays Volleyball?

In other news, I've got a written sports exam tomorrow. Yeah. What the fuck?

I haven't checked my f-list in the last 35 hours or so. Guys, I fail. Sorry :(
Feel hugged, cause I've read god knows how many entries in the last hour and I have commented on, like, two of them but that would have been my comment to most. I know, my creativity is gooone and my brain as well, it seems.

( meme )

Mentos "Aqua Kiss" Cranberry is deliiiiciouuuus! Seriously! And the boxes look cool.

Does anyone know what happened to yume_odori? I know she wrote something about maybe deleting her LJ and she's had a whole bunch of problems... but does anyone know anything more specific? :(

Anyway, I don't even know why I went to school today.

First two lessons: Chemistry. And, okay, that was worth it cause we have a new teacher who - unlike the previous one - can actually teach. Sadly, we also have to study for that now.
Then I had a free period because my music teacher was god-knows-where (14 times out of 15 I won at 'Neger'! Yay! It's a card game, in case you're wondering, and I usually suck at those) and then spent the next hour singing 70s-90s pop songs.
Next up, English. And it's no news that we don't really do much in English, but still. We did absolutely nothing today because my teacher's niece's daughter sent her a letter about some school project she's doing (she's in the first grade of some elementary school in Colorado) so we took some picture and wrote a post card, which will probably make her the coolest kid in class cause, well, german students! wooo! Uhm, anyway. That took about 40 minutes cause that's just how slow we are and then we got to go home... 1 1/2 hours early! So I had some time to kill until sports where I obviously didn't do anything again, except journalize whatever we were doing and that's it. Seriously, I shouldn't have bothered. Even though there is this really cute guy in my sports class, and he keeps talking to me now that we've spent two hours talking about horror movies last week :) But I'll see him on friday, anyway.

So, what are y'all doing lately?

So... let's start with the bad things:

The Geology exam was very uneventful and incredibly boring. I'm fairly certain that exams shouldn't be boring. Then again, so was the German exam, so maybe it's a 'thing' now. Who knows.

For some unknown reason, there are several huge cracks in my mp4 player which means the touchscreen isn't working anymore. Argh! I need my music! :(

Also, sleep seems incredibly rare these days. Oh, well...

Moving on to some nicer stuff... welcome quartetship, evenstar_1203, maximilian_x, griva_x, hoveringon and dandies4ever! And, wow, that's a whole bunch of new people. I hope you don't get traumatized here or something ;)

Nooow, I've got a question. Does anyone know where this picture is from? O:



Yes, I know, unbelievably interesting post. One of these days, I might actually have something to write about. Or a fic to post. I do hope it'll be the latter. Anyway, got to run again... see you guys!

So... what am I doing today?

Still voting for "Jenson" - seriously, how difficult can it be to at least google someone before putting them in a freaking poll? *rolls eyes*

And studying for a really awful biology exam.

Speaking of exams - good luck tomorrow, popeiathehippo! *hugs*

Time is definitely going by too fast, considering I feel like I just woke up...

And I know that my posts are incredibly short lately - sorry! I'll post more soon, school is just kind of stressful right now.

1) Write your lj username
2) Write your two favorite bands/artists at the moment (not overall, just currently)
3) Draw a heart
4) Write the name of your favorite person of all time
5) Right down your recently favored person
6) Tag 5 people to do this meme

Also, should I watch the new Supernatural before my Maths exam, or after?

I think it's inevitable that as we read each other's journals we create mental pictures of each other. Post this on your own journal to find out who your friends see when they read about your life.

Two Rules:
1) The person must be in the movies or on TV (but doesn't have to be an actor/actress). The person can be specific to a role (e.g. Jennifer Elhe's Elizabeth Bennet) or just the person.
2) Post a picture!

I think most of you don't know what I look like anyway, so this is going to be interesting! :D

Guys,

I haven't gotten any e-mails from LJ for over 24h now, so if you have replied to something and I didn't answer... could you please tell me? I'm going through my f-list again now, but that could take a while... 

ETA: I am starting to think that it's not actually LJ, but my e-mail client that's gone insane. damn!

( Spoilers for the latest Leverage episode )

Oh, by the way! Hi the_milky_way and xo_disaster_ox

So I'm reading Effi Briest now. See, that is all corchfalas' fault.

My libary (as in the one I sometimes work at) has this pretty old, gorgeous copy from 1959... I adore old books!



Oh and I'm writing an English exam tomorrow! Wish me luck!

seriously, all those memes? completely adelate's fault! blame her!

( under the cut cause it's looong )
woo! 99 comments, corchfalas :D

Hey f-list! (and everyone non-f-list, just in case anyone actually ends up here)

I've got a very important question. Since there will be fewer exams from now on (well, okay, three next week, but after that only two exams each week) and I really want to write again, not to mention original fic hates me right now, and I love Merlin - I wanna write an Arthur/Merlin fanfic!

They're pretty much canon anyway. The producer or writer or something even said that there was always something homoerotic in those kind of stories. And Bradley likes it! Yay! :D

No, seriously, I LOVE that show. Plus, it's cute!

Thing is, I really want to torture my characters again. It seems that I'm quite good at that. So! I want to write a Merlin/Arthur rape!fic! Which, in the end would be quite long, at least I hope so.

I've got a total of 48 words now (yeah, I know, wow!), just to see if I can still string a proper sentence together, which, apparently I can! Now, do you think it's worth it? Or, rather, would anyone want to read it once it's finished? *makes puppy dog eyes*

Speak up!

Strangely enough, I more and more find myself drawing during the few minutes I like to call "free time". Which, usually, means "time that I should spend working on that politics presentation...but I'll do that later - maybe". But, hey. It's a lot of fun lately! There are two fanfics and one original fanfic I kinda want to be done writing in two weeks but I really doubt I'll get around to do that.

But anyway! New picture. This is for corchfalas by the way. You're still getting a real picture, though!

Reading for corchfalas :)

So! risuhime is THE awesome!




So this is me, in the middle of Liv Tyler, Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. W00t!
