Day 2 of the torture known as fall semester. Mandatory OMG I'M ALIVE post and also LOL TIRED WON'T BE ON AIM sorry.

Today was... less bad than yesterday, maybe because I got home at 5pm instead of 7pm. History of mathematics was absolute crap. The professor has about 90 years and is as rambly and unfocused as you expect a 90yo man to be. He spent the first hour or so telling us what to do if we want to teach maths in a middle school. I'm positive maybe 1 out of 20 wants to teach in high school, I'm maybe considering middle school to be a bit worse than scraping paint off walls. I scraped paint off walls and taught to a middle schooler, so. No offence to those who want to get a job teaching children. Personally I don't mind the teaching, it's children I don't get along with. THEN he started telling us about Euclid, then he showed us handwritten slides topped off with a quote and wouldn't go on until someone told him which poet wrote that, then there was another quote from another poet, then got sidetracked and started talking about Alexander the Great. He also kept us way beyond the end of his class so everyone had to hurry to the next one. I thought this course would be about how the Greeks had a certain idea of mathematics and how it evolved through the ages, instead the closest it got to that was when the professor randomly asked if we knew when Gauss and Dedekind and Archimedes were born AND THEN HE WAS UPSET BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW, WTF IF I ALREADY KNEW THIS SHIT I WOULDN'T BE TAKING A COURSE ON ~HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS. Yeah, I think I'm dropping this and taking something else. Anything else.

I had forgotten how exhausting 6 hours of maths can get. I was out of practice with taking notes and my lunchtime my hand was cramping. Plus, I was stupid and got talked into checking out a stats course because E. said the professor was good. (He wasn't. Not taking that course.) Now I ought to check the webpage for the probability course so I can decide if I want to take that, and then start reading the notes since I already missed the first lesson, but I just remembered why I ended up never studying during the semester. I just get home too tired and all I want to do is collapse in front of the last ep of Downton Abbey.

I'm going to be good and at least decide which courses I want to do. Then Downton Abbey.

EDIT:
I'm stupid and forgot why I posted an entry in the first place. ~~No it's not to whine, whining makes me feel even more tired.~~
I was sitting next to P. and she had a neat schedule of her courses (with many question marks ofc) and I asked her if she could show me and then I had trouble not breaking into giggles in the middle of class because she had abbreviated Finite Elements as EL.F. and Functional Analysis as ANAL.
It wasn't intentional but yk I'm easily amused.

Sooo, this is it. The longest summer holiday of my life is over and I'm already making derpfaces and staying up past midnight pretending like I don't have courses in the morning. ~~Whatever, I start at 11am on Mondays.~~
My schedule isn't bad, I have six hours of lessons every day between 9am (or 11am on Mondays) and 2pm, and on Wednesdays I have just 3pm to 5pm which should be a nice break. Obvs this is just temporary and if some of the eligibles suck I can still change them. Plus I need to decide what to do next semester too.

Anyway, tv shows, tv shows. Doctor Who trolled, and it's not even a spoiler. ~~SILENCE WILL FALL WHEN THE QUESTION IS ASKED. THE FIRST QUESTION. HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT. The amounts of facepalms I did, I can't even.~~ Merlin is still very lulzy and I think Arthur and Merlin got married in the timeskip, but that's also not a spoiler because everyone knows it. Also Merlin might have died at the end of the ep, except everyone knows he doesn't really. Props to the writers for shifting to a more serious tone but all I care for is Arthur eyefucking Merlin in every scene they're in. Terra Nova was disappointing, I stopped watching halfway through the first ep. It's just generic characters and generic plot and the dinosaurs aren't enough to get me through two hours of sloppy writing. The Playboy Club on the other hand was lovely. I didn't expect much, but I like all the secondary characters and the atmosphere and everything really. ~~It's just typical of me to end up liking the series I watch at random instead of the series I was excited about.~~

Also now I have internet in my room, which is just as well because when I was in the living room mum kept asking me to move the sofas around because she's still deciding how she wants the furniture arranged. ALSO I'LL GO TO SLEEP FOR REAL NOW. DD:

I promise next time I'll post the fanfic in the fanfic journal, I just need to have all of this in the same place. Also lol I mauled my own mother tongue on the basis that the show would get it wrong because they're terrible with foreign languages.

MOAR CASTLE/BECKETT. MOAR SHENANIGANS. IT ISN'T OVER YET.

( 993 PAROLE )

Uhm, so I suppose I should explain ~~and also apologize for botching the cut on the first try~~. You see, Ren has a problem with deadlines. Ren sees them and they're far away and Ren thinks tomorrow is a great time to do stuff. And then tomorrow comes and the deadline is still far away and lol tumblr and kittens and distractions. So Ren had to write this thing for this prompt and I thought yeaaah, plenty of time, I can whip out 3,000 words on Thursday. Then on Thursday there was very important stuff for Ren to do like taking pics and cutting rectangles of plastic to stick on glass doors and quidditch and tumblr. And then it was 9pm. And Ren was like OHSHIT. And then Ren went to make tea and then started writing like a madwoman. And Ren, being stupid, took the prompt a long way and started from something only vaguely related to the prompt, and then wrote like 1,000 words about another prompt. And then it was 11:55pm and it was due on midnight and Ren only barely managed to touch the prompt and then submitted it to the wrong journal and botched the cut and now it's too late to fix it and I can't delete it for the time being. And it's not even 3,000 words because Ren is full of fail. Also Ren likes to talk in third person and writing a lot in little time gives me a case of verbal diarrhea.

SO THIS IS LIKE, CASTLE/BECKETT FIC BECAUSE THEY BELONG IN EACH OTHER'S PANTS. NO RATING/WARNING/WHATEVS BECAUSE I DIDN'T INTEND FOR PEOPLE TO READ IT, IT'S LIKE THE UNBETAED DRAFT OF CHAPTER 1.

( 2249 PAROLE )

My hiatus is officially over now. Life still hasn't got back to normal but I think I'll manage. Right now I'm camping in the living room since I don't have wireless in my room because it's on the third floor and we only have one modem, but hopefully that'll be fixed over the weekend. The house is still a mess, there's boxes everywhere and an upside down sofa and idk when everything will be in its proper place again. It's probably going to be a relief when I start courses again next week, since I'll be out of this madhouse. The only snag is I still haven't chosen my courses because herp derp. IDK WHAT I WANT TO DO.

I'm looking at the program of this semester's courses and torrenting episodes. I want to watch Terra Nova because of all the hype and ~dinosaurs, and then next month there's Once Upon a Time and Grimm, which I'm going to watch for sure because FAIRY TALES! I wasn't going to watch The Playboy Club but then I found out that Sean Maher is in it sooo... yes, watching. None of the other new shows seem appealing, which is good since I don't have time to watch 12863521 shows any more. I'm also dropping SPN because lol no I refuse to accept what you're doing to my favourite characters. Someone give me a shout if by the end of S7 Cas is still alive and well, and then maybe I'll reconsider.

Castle and H50, I don't even. I've only watched the first ep of each ~~because I have no time~~ but ffs all those plot twists. Beckett should just get in Castle's pants already and Steve should stop doing crazy stuff because Danny is going to have a heart attack sooner or later.
( Downton Abbey spoilers. )

Still in a sea of chaos. I'm using the internet at the old place. The phone has been cut but the wireless is still working so I'm taking advantage of it. I'm hoping they won't cut it today so it'll work during the weekend. Conversely if it goes down there's no way it'll be restored during the weekend, so fingers crossed. I can't even give a date for when my hiatus will end, at this point.

My room is a mess of boxes. There's boxes everywhere. Several hundred books didn't even have boxes, they were just bundled up and wrapped in plastic and I cross my fingers that they made it through. The landlady made a scene about the movers using the elevator to move books around. Considering that the elevator barely works in the first place, I don't think she'd have a right to complain even if it did break down, which didn't happen, so idk what she was raging about. She told me we should have called another company because these guys can't do their job... in front of the guys. While I agree that they're terrible and klutzy, you just can't say something like this in the face of someone who's trying to do their job. It's rude.

Still making Hogsmeade tags. Herp Derp.

EDIT because I don't want to make 82651 posts every day but also need to vent. I had an email a couple of days ago from some coursemates asking what I'll be taking next year and idkkk. I'd need some peace and quiet to look at the various programs and decide. I had started looking around before we started moving but I haven't chosen yet. And I need to renew my student bus ticket and enrol an idk what else.

But I finished the tags and Isapony (ILU) is posting them so I'm all set even if I won't have internet tomorrow. Though I might brave the open road and drive to my aunt's so I can leech off her internet at some point. Now I'm going home to take allll of my books out of the boxes and on to the shelves.

Today is the day. It's not even midday and I'm already tired and I want this to be over. Also the movers are complaining about how it'll take forever because there's still more than five bookshelves full of books. We can't empty them because the moving company never gave us the boxes that they said they'd give us to pack everything. And there's one guy who said that we'll need 10 more boxes and I think his guess might be wrong because it took me 15-20 boxes to pack all of my books and I only have two bookshelves. SO YES WE'RE A VERY RAVENCLAW FAMILY TYSM now give me those boxes or shut up please. Except he's cute so I'm not telling him to shut up. There's the cute guy, the chubby guy, the guy who reminds me of the stupid kid I used to give remedial lessons to, and the guy who just showed up to say that we should have emptied all bookshelves before this morning and I think it won't be long before my mum goes ballistic on him.

I was told there's nothing I can help with rn (THANK YOU) so I'm sitting on the sofa in my little island of calm among a sea of boxes and people cursing loudly in Italian. Fun times. I think I might make some circus tags.

EDIT: Apparently the only way to have some peace today is to go to wherever the movers aren't. They're at the new house rn so I went back to the old one to take advantage of the internets and also of the fact that everyone's at the new place yelling and pushing things up the stairs. (Except my sister who's sitting in the courtyard with a book.) Still making Hogsmeade tags. At this point idk if I'm dedicated or just plain insane.

The good news is I still have internet. The bad news is I still have internet. It turns out that the telephone company is going to move our phone and internet at some point in the next two weeks and there's no way to know just when, which drives me bonkers because how is this in any way tolerable. Basically my internet is going to disappear at some point and then (hopefully soon) reappear in the new house. And I don't know when. And I signed up for a Hogsmeade stall and now I don't know if I'll even be able to post my catalogue. And I hate everything right now and the ceiling of my room looks yellow because my mum picked this weird ivory tone that looks like shit with the colour I picked for the walls and I'm tired of packing all my books and generally I just want this to be over with.

I think I'll go and pick out stuff I'm throwing out for good. Maybe it'll cheer me up.

That's it. In a few hours I'm going to be internet-less and hopefully I'll have it back once I'm settled in the new house on Friday or Saturday. Meanwhile I managed to catch a cold, which at least allowed me to skip heavy lifting last night. But seriously, so much to pack. :|

I just had the dates for when we're moving to the new house. The moving company will come next Thursday and Friday, which means I'll be gone for those two entire days. There's also the problem that our telephone and internet will be moved later, which means I'll have limited internet access because I'll only be able to use internet if I go back to the old apartment. The thing I'm worried about the most is that there's supposed to be "2-3 days" without internet between disconnecting the old apartment and connecting the new one. I have complete faith that they're going to screw that up.

Trying to decide on which shows to watch next fall now. Everything looks kind of blah, but maybe it's because I'm in a blah mood.

Yesterday's outing was possibly the single most ill-advised trip I ever took. It turned out that my friend was in Milan because he's been having health problems and needed a specialistic medical visit. I was very sorry to hear it and I do hope they find what's wrong with him - apparently he's got something so rare that the doctors he's seen so far couldn't even tell him what it was.
I understand that he wasn't in a good place and wanted to hang out with someone to take his mind off things, but then he started describing his problem in detail and he told me about the doctors he's seen so far, and right after my medical visit I really, really wasn't the best person to listen and be supportive. Basically I just let him talk all afternoon because the only thing I could think of is that if I was in his place I'd be so fucking scared, which isn't really the most comforting thing ever.

From

hiza_chan, as a way of procrastinating on my Big Bang that's due in (eep!) two days.

1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of ~~fifteen~~ fifty words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

01. Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastard)
02. Castiel (SPN)
03. Morgana (Merlin)
04. Jon Snow (ASOIAF)
05. Neal Caffrey (White Collar)
06. Rachel Berry (Glee)
07. Arthur (Inception)
08. The Doctor (DW)
09. Harvey Specter (Suits)
10. Charles Xavier (X-Men)

I'm kind of in a blah mood today. ( Cut for talk of doctors. )

Also, a friend of mine is in Milan and wants me to hang out tomorrow afternoon. I said yes because I haven't seen him in over a year and anyway I've got nothing to do, but now I'm not sure it's such a great idea. We were keeping in touch over MSN but then it got awkward because he made some sexist remarks and I called him out on it, but I don't think he even understood why I was mad. So I stopped going on MSN altogether. Now at least I get to talk to him face to face, but as someone might say, my "people skills" are a little "rusty" after the summer and if he pisses me off I am going to rip him a new one. Urgh, I hope he doesn't piss me off. I've known him for years.

veilingofthesun posted this survey and I thought it was cool because 1) I get to talk about myself, and I like to talk about myself, and 2) I also get to know other people since I realize I know very little about some of my lj friends. Not that there's something bad about that, especially if we met through a fandom, but it'd be cool to find out more about each other, no?

So I copied here my answers, feel free to post your own survey in the comments. You can delete the parts you don't feel like answering, I left out some too because I didn't have anything interesting to say. :3

( My survey here! )

I feel much better now that I dropped one big bang, and after the change of plot the SPN one is going way more smoothly too. I just have to stop procrastinating and get some writing done. :| Sadly it's all in Italian and it's a crossover so I have little to no hope of finding a beta who will trudge through the 10k for me, it's though to switch back to Italian after years of writing everything in English.

My sleeping patterns have been hopelessly fucked up. Right now I go to sleep at 3:30am and wake up at 2pm. So I decided I'd stay up all night in the hope that tomorrow (or rather, later today) I'll be so tired I'll do to sleep at a reasonable time, and then wake up at a reasonable hour.

Also I planned to write stuff, but I keep getting sidetracked. I stopped writing because I needed to make up a surname for Castiel and all the other angels, decided to look up French surnames for no reason, got distracted, read my mail, got back to my word document and realized that yeah I stopped writing because I needed to make up a surname.

GEE IDK.

Ok I just decided they're called Milton. All the angels. Fucking huge family.

I'm still the worst LJ friend ever. Urgh. Sorry about that! I'll try to comment more on your entries from now on, it's just... uhm... I'm me. And I forget things. Also I haven't forgotten about the tropes meme, but the big bang takes priority.

( Read more... )

...There was something else I wanted to say, but IDK.

I'm in a crappy end of summer mood, mostly because I wasn't able to write anything for all these months and I'm sure I'll regret it as soon as uni starts again. Right now I'm considering dropping out of my two big bangs... I wrote only 5,000 words for the SPN one and the first draft if due in two weeks, and I'm thinking even if I submit something it'll be crap and nobody will comment on it. IDK

( Cut because if you're not in HiH you might not care, and even then you might still not care. )

Now... uuuh... MEME! Stolen from

hiza_chan who has all the memes worth stealing, because it's been a while since I've done one of these.

Tropes fic meme: Below are some fandom cliches - pick one and give me a pairing (and some details if you want) and we'll see what I can come up with.

Each trope can only be picked once; pairings and fandoms can be re-used.

Preferred fandoms: Doctor Who, Torchwood, Merlin, Sherlock, SPN, Glee, Rizzoli & Isles, Castle, Hawaii Five-0, Suits, Inception, X-Men First Class, ASOIAF/Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Locke Lamora and other minor fandoms, feel free to order off the menu though you might end up with a big OOC clusterfuck if it's a fandom I'm not confident writing in.

o1. genderswap (Charles/Erik for the crazy kitten person)
o2. bodyswap (Jean/Locke for Hiza)
o3. drunk!fic (Charles/Erik for Hiza)
o4. huddling for warmth
o5. pretending to be married (Jaime/Brienne for Iris)
o6. secretly a virgin
o7. amnesia (Steve/Danny for Iris)
o8. cross-dressing
o9. forced to share a bed (Castle/Beckett for Isa)
1o. truth or dare
11. historical AU
12. accidental-baby-acquisition (Ryan/Esposito for Isa)
13. apocalypse fic (Jon & Arya for Hiza)
14. telepathy
15. high school/college AU

ETA: feel free to request more, usually what happens is that I fill 80% of requests and then get distracted and wander off and never finish, but I'll try to at least fill one request for everyone. \o/

No I didn't get my letter.

BUT.

I think it's coming? Because I kept trying to log in to see if my account had been activated and my letter was just late.

And it just happened.

So.

Aside from the fact that I flailed like a 11yo and still can't think straight.

Leave me your names and I'll add you?

I'm trying to be a good girl and actually wait for the letter, plus there's stuff I needed to do.

The long LJ entry to catch up with what's going on in my life will have to wait, though.

ETA: I'm SkyLight32 ~~since apparently I forgot to say in my excitement~~
