Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

1. First thing, HAAAI new friends from the lostsquee friending meme! And also the SPN ones that I made in other ways. ;) I hope you will have a good time here! <3

2. Lost speaking, if you're in Lost fandom, the most awesome haldoor is hosting a Lost love meme ♥ which totally made my morning/day/afternoon and is just as awesome as usual, so go play if you haven't already! ♥ And I'm so excited for the luau starting tomorrow. :D [to people not here for Lost: next month will be full of Lost related stuff. Skip it if needed. ;)]

3. I seriously, seriously hope that no one reading this will ever be in a position that implies having to read Heidegger talking about Medieval philosophy. Way to unite my two worse nightmares. Also, that exam will be the death of me but I just need to think that after that it's another two and they're easy. Though damn, I wish I had taken this in the first year.

4. Anyway, on to more cheering things. Uh. That long-ass fic I wrote for spn_j2_bigbang? It... uh. It generated spontaneous art. Which is also freaking gorgeous. I swear when _izu_ linked that to me I stared for a while being like no, I made it up in my head. WHAT. It never happens that people draw something because they like shit I write. It might have totally done my day yesterday. Now I feel like I should make myself an account on DA just to thank them personally because really.

5. That said, I promised wandersfound that I'd upload some Stone Temple Pilots for her so there it is under the cut. Two records and random songs, all on mediafire because it was more convenient for me but I can put them somewhere else if needed.

( music here. Quite a lot. )

6. Right now, I should be writing that pedagogy thing. Clearly I'm not doing that but I'll try to stop procrastinating after posting this. Whyyy do I even need to take that, whyy. /quits whining

7. Also, Misha Collins will be at jus in bello again next year! :D Guess who is going to get herself an early, early birthday present when they sell photo ops? *cough*

8. Aaand okay, this is probably all for now. Will try to write my pedagogy presentation while trying not to fall asleep over it and thinking it's for my own good. *repeats mantra*

This is probably late, but hey. It's still one day, right?

Anyway, if anyone from the FL is coming at the JIB con tomorrow-Sunday and wants to meet, I will be wearing either this shirt or a Woodstock red shirt with the bird on the front, I'll try to find myself a badge with my LJ name just in case, I have long-ish brown hair and I speak English with, as one Internet test said, a New Jersey accent. *rolls eyes* (Or, if you want to exchange numbers, send me a PM and I'll answer tonight or so.) *waves and goes to finish stuff*

1. I'm DONE with exams for this round. FREEDOM! Your taste is a great one. Riight, I should have done pedagogy too but it would have had to be three days after the last one and I figured I'd just do it next semester. Also, I just realized that I have only the next term to go through and then I should actually work on getting the first half of the degree. Oops. When did three years pass? :/ Not that I don't have another two years after that, but still.

2. So yesterday I was all ready to catch up with all the stuff I missed in the last three days of cramming and then Mozilla started crashing as soon as it opened and I couldn't get the hang of it. In the end I used another browser to dl the latest version, then I took it off and reinstalled it and now it's going wonderfully. Except that I lost all my tabs, so... er, sorry. If there was anything I should have seen link me? I'm pretty sure I had a lot of fic opened. Damn.

3. Fic speaking I need to revise the secret angels one asap. And finish my hope_in_sight one asap. Thankfully for the first time in ages I even have four free days before classes start so I hope to use those to do also that. And possibly to read something which isn't textbooks. And I should post some Dean/Cas utter unrepentant crack (or maybe not that much) sometime today.

4. Tomorrow Invictus is out here. IT MAKES ME EXTREMELY PLEASED.

5. Thanks so much to wandersfound for the NJ postcard!!!!!!!!!!! <333333333333333 when I got it I totally started flailing around and I think my mom was like 'what's going on' or something but I HAVE A POSTCARD FROM NJ!!!!!!!! <33 *loves* and uh, fosfomifira, thanks so much for the Christmas card! It arrived some five days ago but I didn't manage to make a proper post *kicks RL*. <3333333333333333 to you too. ;)

6. Random: I think that at least four/five people friended me in the last three weeks or so. Which makes me very happy, but if you're in that group and you did, do you want me to friend you back? Because if you're here just for the fic then it's fine but if you want to be friends then I'm totally okay with it. Just, uh, tell me? Because while this is mostly public I'd just like to know that.

7. That said, I'll go catching up with my last comments to catch up with and to edit the crack thing. *waves*

1. First exam of the round = done and it went a lot better than I'd have figured considering that it was hardest subject #2 and I studied a total of... one week and a half or something, even if I think it was less. Now I just need to get through the one I have on Friday *headdesk* and through the godawful Medieval philosophy one on the 29th and then the remaining two are fairly easier. When February 1st comes I'll be a much happier person though.

2. sapphire_child, thanks so much for the card! <333

3. I'm totally excited for the fic battle at lostsquee next week! And by the way, go prompt if you already didn't. ;) and duh, I accidentally read some Lost spoilers that make me very intrigued. I still am not as flaily as I was for S4 but it also might be that I've stayed away from spoilers this year and I don't know zilch. I have hope that it >>> S5 still. *sigh*

4. I'm so glad that Chuck is back!! <333 ( couple spoilery-maybe thoughts )

5. I also signed up for spn_j2_bigbang in probably a moment of premeditated craziness. Dean/Castiel AU of doom which has been in my head for a month, I'll so write you. Or I hope, at least.

6. I think I want to do a very seriousbusiness post about how much I wish I lived in a more civilized country atm, but it'll probably have to wait until Friday.

7. ( movie blathering about Looking For Eric and Dr. Parnassus, plus Italian distributors are stupid. )

8. I'm sure I wanted to say something else but I can't recall, except that I haven't read a proper book in a month and I want to read a goddamned novel, but until the 29th I doubt I'll manage anything not school related. Also, university websites not working has to be a Murphy's law or something. *sigh* And with this, pointless random entry of doom is done. ;)

1. Hiii. _izu_ and marlonob left this morning. :( It was awesome to have them here. Argh, whyy is it that your friends live like half the country away? <33 anyway, sorry for being kind of MIA but I should be more around now. If only because I have exams soon and good luck to me there.

2. Christmas cards arrived!! I've already thanked some of you on Twitter but since we're here, thanks so much to hopelessfangirl (your card was AWESOME and totally trufax <33), wandersfound (and you already knew but THAT DRABBLE IS AMAZING <33), blackonice (THANK YOU!! And the sugar-y drabble was just perfect, I loved it), darknumb (thanks again, I fell off the chair when I opened that card XDD) and eponine119 (the card was great, and I loved the holiday story <3333)!

3. I have an idiotic cold. If my nose manages to breathe I cough, if I don't cough I can't breathe through my nose. I hope the meds I took work fast because it's driving me crazy, ugh.

4. New TV arriving soon! I'm sososo excited for Chuck which will also gift me with two hours of awesomeness on the 11th after my first exam. And for SPN and the vamp porn! Also, Gina Torres is starting on the first vamp porn ep after the hiatus so YAY!!! That thing gives me satisfaction, lol. And I started checking out Deadwood because since I had a bookstore coupon for Christmas I went for the one which sells dvds and I got myself S2 too plus the entire Monty Python's Flying Circus so I figured I'd start it. I've only watched the pilot but for now I LOVE it. Westerns + lack of civilization + great acting + awesome characters = me liking a LOT. Also, yay for Jim Beaver being a regular, lol.

5. Separate TV point: while I do indeed hope that Lost S6 is nothing like S5 (in hindsight, er, S5 really didn't cut the deal for me) and even if I sort of don't want Feb. 2 to arrive because it means that it's really ending and ugh, I don't think I'm ready to give that show up yet, while I completely cut spoilers since the Comicon stuff, my interest is kind of perked up. Mainly because of this not really original Last Supper-like shot which I happen to find pretty interesting. Right, the idea is TOTALLY NOT original at all, but I really like the composition and stuff even if it kind of confirms the only theory I hoped wasn't being confirmed. *headdesk* ( cut just in case ) Even though no, I also have to say that the Dharma cans are made of awesome.

6. Also, I went to see Up again at the movies (hey, the friends hadn't seen it and I had only watched it on a crappy laptop so why not? XD) and thankfully I didn't cry again. I think that the kid in front of me (whose parents were totally into the movie while she was not) would have killed me if I had started bawling like the first time. And I also re-watched A Hard Day's Night which is still so awesome I can't even say. Paul's grandfather = ♥.

7. Random: I want to go see Looking For Eric. I will probably end up going the day after tomorrow even if I should study, but the temptation is there and I'm not sure how long is the not dubbed version going to stay around. :/

8. And since I should reply to some e-mails and then go to bed and maybe watch some more Deadwood or more wisely going to sleep since I'll need to study a lot tomorrow morning, I'll leave you with Bob Dylan made in Eddie Vedder, and since it's a new decade..



I hope the holidays are ending well for everyone! <3

1. So, tomorrow I'll be heading to the grandparents' for the holidays. And this year we're going a day later than usual and leaving one earlier, so you probably will be spared me complaining because whenever I'm there for more than one day while I do love my family they make me go crazy and either I bitch or I want to headdesk. Though it's ALL my dad's side which is better than when it's not everyone. Just hope that my cousins grew out of the singing Christmas songs off-key attitude, even if I'm not too sure. ;) Anyway there's the internet there so I'll be around.

2. I sent the cards out! Sorry for doing it so late *sigh* anyway, I don't think I missed anyone, some of you who didn't ask for drabbles got some surprise ones and I just hope they arrive at least before the 31st. And cards speaking, thanks so much to mozartfan1313, polvodestrella, haldoor, jaydblu, gottalovev, onlyechoes and pnr! I think I'm not forgetting anyone out of the ones which arrived until now (if I did I'll rectify when I thank the next bunch *wink*) and I ♥ you all. <333 The cards were all so pretty and I ♥ you.

2b. Uh, thanks also to my anonymous stalker...? In the sense, in additions to the ones in point 2 I got this card from Finland without a return address, with a Boone picture attached to the back and signed, literally, creepy stalker. Uh. Well, I figure that if this person has my address then he/she is on my FL but atm I can't figure out who you are so, er, thank you so much? ;) Also the picture was very appreciated. Indeeed.

3. Also, on the 26th I might post a bunch of late birthday fic/Christmas stuff I got from lists/etc. Or maybe on the 25th if I manage but I doubt it.

4. OT: my exam list for the semester is as it follows. Major Hegel exam that implies a lot of studying that I didn't exactly do until this point - Jan. 11th. Not-too-hard exam about some ancient Greek stuff which is fairly easy but requires some studying too - Jan. 15th. Medieval Philosophy exam from hell - Jan. 29th. Dreaded History of Pedagogy exam (which well, after all SHOULD be easy, but I need to prepare a Powerpoint presentation for it and one of the three books I need to read makes me want to tear my hair out) - Feb. 12th. Semiotics (not TOO hard but both written and oral on the SAME day and a lot of stuff to study) - Feb. 26th. Someone SHOOT me. Now. The fact that I actually LIKE the subject of two of these, kind of can work with one even if it's A LOT and that I absolutely and completely do-not-care about the other two doesn't exactly help. Argh. Again, shoot me. The only decent thing is that the exams schedule doesn't conflict too much with my TV schedule.

5. I'm up to episode 14 of Chuck S2!! I love it. So freaking much. I can't even believe how much I exactly love it.

( Spoilers! AWESOME! Mozart! Nerd-y heaven! )

6. Random, because hopelessfangirl linked it to me on Twitter: MISHA COLLINS IS GORGEOUS. TRUE FACT. CLICK THIS AND TRY TO DENY IT. Jesus. Not what I needed to see before going to bed because now I'm kind of NOT sleepy, but still. <3333

7. Last thing before I go. RECS! I took part in three exchanges and I already recced the crossover one I got, but I need to rec also the other two that were written for me because just, YES.

At deancas_xmas: Dean's Favorite Christmas is just lovely and whoever my awesome mystery person is finally went and picked my prompt where Cas zaps Dean back to a Zeppelin concert which I tried to force upon poor anonymous people in exchanges for a good six months and never got picked up. It's totally adorable and heartwarming and just, awww.

At lostsquee: Big Bad Wolf (Jack/Damon from the vamp porn) is... THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER EXISTED. SERIOUSLY. People. If you haven't read it, go read it NOW. Right, it's a vampire porn crossover (which I didn't even ask for but I hadn't realized how much I actually needed it in my life until I read it), but as long as you know that Damon is a snarky vampire son of a bitch with a kinky mind and (mostly) no morals whatsoever, you don't have to know zilch about VD. COME ON. It features an awesome and snarky and deliciously evil POV, CROSSDRESSING which is not just lingerie, delicious crack, hothothothot sex that is just scorching, each voice COMPLETELY down pat, the best ending ever and it's just so AWESOME THAT I CAN'T EVEN FATHOM IT. GO READ IT. I need to spread the love. And even if I have my suspects about who is my mystery author, be sure that I'll worship you again properly after the reveal. <333

8. Random: I suddenly want to watch It's A Wonderful Life. Clearly tomorrow it's impossible because here they don't air it and I doubt it'd be too appreciated. *sigh* I'll bring the dvd and try to re-watch it on the 25th. That said, it's 2 AM and tomorrow I have a suitcase to pack and books to gather, so bye for now!! <333 and have a great 24th everyone!!!

(Even if I'll probably re-post some fic written for other places later or tomorrow morning. *cough* Sorry, I'm really spamming these days.)

1. Okay, so, summer love meme at onlyechoes'. Go play if you can, y/y? ;)

2. Meme speaking, HI new friends from the Dean/Castiel friending meme! ♥ ♥

3. So, I spend April without being able to write a thing and when do I start getting ideas again? When my exams start next week. Ah well, it's not like I don't have stuff to re-post *hides*.

4. ( Half-book recs, two books, both by Michael Chabon. )

5. I can't find Steve Earle's last record to buy anywhere. Why am I not surprised?

6. Tomorrow I'm so, so catching up though. I have at least six tabs with fic opened. I'll give myself a reward from logic I guess, and thankfully next week I have just two classes and then I'll be half-done.

7. The more I think about the European elections (and politics in general) the more I want to crawl into a fandom-filled bunker where ponies charge my computer and get out of it four years from now. The day the switch in my head flips and I decide who the hell I should vote for you'll probably hear me in trans-continental relief. To think that two years ago I'd have been excited about it.

8. Since I haven't inflicted my random music uploads in a while... music meme! From lasamy and at least four other people, can't recall who. ;)

( 12 random songs )

9. And since I can't seem to be able to make this entry constructive, new Vampire Diaries trailer just for the kicks. The trailer makes it look way less lame than the preview, which just makes me confused even if I don't give a damn about the lame. But, His Prettiness has a couple of lines which weren't in the preview which are seriously worthy of flailing. And with this wonderful thing, I hope that you all have a good evening, you who are in saner time zones. ♥

1. If you like My Chemical Romance, I really advice to skip to the next point. I don't care about them and I don't like them either, but what's under the cut wasn't definitely good. This is not nice.

( this is NOT pretty. It's also rant-ish. )

2. Meme, tagged from reckess and pnr!

( the twenty questions I'm too lazy to change )

3. Dear Bruce, your new record is the awesomeness.

4. Thanks so much to sapphire_child (aw, thanks so much! ♥ ♥ right back at you) and fosfomifira (what a pretty card! And 1) thanks so much ♥ 2) LOL for Mariana!Saywer and 3) definitely hope that the FSM's tentacles inspire TPDB well) whose cards were probably screwed by my postal service since they arrived together a couple of days ago and to siluria for the card (thanks, the mail was indeed brightened!). ♥ to all of you. ;)

5. Random because it has shown up on some fic hearders in some fic communities, thankfully not Lost ones: people, it's canon. Not cannon. CANON. *sigh*

6. That said, I'll be around editing stuff or trying to write something. Aargh, I'm spent. I guess I'll whine until Wednesday when I have that exam out of my way.

... but then a friend called me last minute, I left and came back home at four A.M., which was good. I mean, I hadn't done it since years or something and we just went around for half an hour and then spent the rest of the evening/morning at her place so nothing major, but still. Then I woke up at 12 A.M. and there was the lunch with family and I swear I'm not touching food for three days at least. And so, since I couldn't do it last evening, I do it now. ;)



May it be filled with happiness, good luck, as much money as possible and be better than 2008 however 2008 was for you. ♥

I think I'll be recovering from the food overload and from yesterday's evening alcohol with two cups of tea, fic and probably trying to write something. Not that I feel up for anything more refined. ;)

1. So, I did most of the editing for my Hohoho assignment. I cut stuff I wasn't convinced of, the sea of empty brackets I left when I was missing some specific words is almost gone, when re-reading it holds up better than I thought while writing it and I probably need to give a certain part a bit more of editing but it's mostly done. What's the problem? It's 17500 words. I don't have an idea of how I should even post it, especially since I won't be around for Christmas and I still don't know if I will for New Year's. Should I split it in three and post one before I go on Tuesday, one when I'm back and one after New Year's? Should I split in two and post one now and one when I'm back for the first time? Should I just go and post it all at once? *ouch, head hurts*

2. I'm sending my cards out on Monday. And meanwhile, thanks to reckess, ladymacbeth77 (it was lovely! And since Samy has Dean mine is Sam ;) ), gottalovev (what a lovely card!), onlyechoes and zelda_zee for the awesome Mexico postcard! Why, yeah, today my postal service decided to be generous.

3. I realized that this year my Christmas shopping was kind of nonexistent. I still have some to do though, even if not much. Oh well, stress saved I guess.

4. This morning I was in some store doing some Christmas shopping with my mother and had the wonderful idea of falling down five steps of stairs. Ouch. My head hurt for one hour, but thankfully it wasn't nothing serious. ETA: see my moodtheme? That was exactly my face this morning, except that Jack wasn't patching me up.

5. I still haven't watched Pushing Daisies. I probably will tonight since if anything else which should better not happen happens today I'll close it on some good note.

6. Regarding Christmas stuff, I need to have links! I probably should have done it before but I'm better at doing it all at once.

a) falafel_musings made me a lovely His Prettiness stocking here! Mm, lots of nice and pretty things in there, including the only video that will ever make me listen to Whitney Huston for four minutes.

b) zelda_zee made me and halfdutch extremely happy with the hottest Jack/Boone as pirates ficlet which I've probably read a bunch of times and will be happy to re-read as soon as I post.

c) isis2015 wrote me the loveliest Boone/Claire drabble which is just so IC and well done.

7. Between tonight and tomorrow I'm taking care of everything else that was at my Christmas post which I haven't taken care until now. Or I'll try at least.

8. Should be all for now? Now I guess I'll go to finish said Christmas shopping. And probably study something of that whole pack of photocopies I was talking about earlier.
