After one year and a half, I changed the layout of my journal. I blame [livejournal.com profile] scatteredintime. But not really, because she's the one person who won't judge me whenever I flail and rage about Pottermore. Which happens embarrassingly often. At least I don't flail on the Pottermore tag on Tumblr. Urrgh, srsly, the Pottermore tag on Tumblr. Just... no.

Works in the new house are progressing... probably. IDK, there seems to be a never-ending list of things that weren't up to safety standards and need to be replaced. Plus, the electrician is the father of the guy I used to give remedial maths lessons to. That guy was so stupid and arrogant. From what mum tells me, it might run in the family.
I'm faking enthusiasm every time mum talks about the house because she's worrying so much. Hopefully everything is fine and we can move next month as planned. I got the single room, even though the plan is I'll only stay there a couple of years and then move away when I finish uni. This means I can't paint the walls purple because my brother will get the room next. I told my mum I was fine with whatever she wanted to do, then I took it back when she said she wanted to do one wall in light blue and the other three white. She's been reading too many interior decorating magazines.
Last weekend we cleaned the basement. There was so much dust and cobwebs everywhere, I ended up trying a bandana in front of my mouth to avoid breathing in dust. I found out it doesn't work as well as in movies, because it kept slipping and felt suffocatingly hot. Also, there was no way to stop the dust from getting in my eyes. At least the basement is clean now.
The tiles in one room are red. They used to look grey from all the grime. I remember the previous owner said that we could use the basement as a bar, which only increases my suspicious about his non-existent hygiene standards.

I should get my shit together and do stuff for [livejournal.com profile] hogwartsishome. The thing is, as much as I love most of the people there, the keyword is most. There's a couple of people I wouldn't mind avoiding for the next forever. Plus I have no idea what to do for the Hogsmeade tags, and Hogsmeade starts tomorrow. AGSHASGAHGSHASG;;

Speaking of ASGAHGSHASGHASG;;
WHY DOES WHITE COLLAR HAVE A MID-SEASON FINALE. I HATE THAT. It's already bad enough to wait for Doctor Who. :(
Plus I don't like this season's plot. I don't even ship anyone aside from Neal/Sara, they better bring her back.
Anyway, now I'm left with only Suits. It's sad that all the shows start in September, when I won't have time any more.

I should also write Dean/Cas instead of ranting, but Dean/Cas eludes me. Urgh. I'm only at about 5k, how am I supposed to finish a big bang by the end of the month.

So I spent yesterday afternoon and this morning in the new house, cleaning up. Yesterday we all went (minus my dad who's in Israel for work this week) and me and my sister brushed away tons of dust from four floors while my mum and my brother cleaned all the rotten leaves and branches in the courtyard. We threw away so much junk, it's ridic. The previous owner had some pretty low hygiene standards, by the way. We were all wearing plastic gloves because everything was so filthy and there were cobwebs everywhere. Also it was. So. Damn. Hot.
Aaand today I woke up early to do stuff so my mum recruited me to go and cut off some more ivy from the courtyard. There's a wall that's almost covered with ivy, which is pretty, but nobody has cut it for years and the ivy was spreading across the pavement, which is less pretty and more wtf how am I supposed to walk here. But we cut it back a lot and cleaned away all the dry leaves and now it looks way nicer. Aside from the... you know... HUGE AMOUNT OF DRY LEAVES AND DEAD BRANCHES NEATLY PILED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COURTYARD THAT WE NEED TO GET RID OF.

Not much else to say. I should write my big bangs, but CERTAIN OTHER STUFF holds me back. Also the stupid kitten story has passed 4,000 views on AO3 and officially ruined me. Whatever else I write, no matter how much I like it or how well it's received, I'll always look back and be like YEAH BUT REMEMBER WHEN ONE NIGHT YOU WROTE A FIC ABOUT CHARLES AND ERIK AND KITTENS AND IT'S THE MOST POPULAR THING YOU'LL EVER WRITE. Kittens, man. I don't even have a cat.

Also I need to figure out what to do with those kittens links but later because now I want to be lazy.
