This is the live

♥ ... but I'm still feeling a little out of it. I haven't settled in yet, not completely anyway. I mean it's nice to have all my things back but I've realized in Dublin that I don't really need much of them to be happy. That was probably one reason why I had to rearrange my room again. There was too much stuff and I didn't like it. Life is strange at the moment. I sort of happy that I have classes now. It's hard to come out of a regular daily routine and just do nothing again..

♥ But then, I still have so many things to do. Mainly on the writing front. I finally really started to work on my spn_j2_xmas fic and I like the idea and the way it's going right now. It won't be too long I think.. I don't know. Anyway, I'll need a beta reader after the weekend!! Anybody?? PLEASE???

♥ I'm also working on the drabbles I promised for Christmas. Not sure I'll get them all done before Christmas but I'm trying. Some of them might be a little longer. I'll probably post them unbetaed first and then ask for a beta later.

♥ The J2/FaF story is kicking my but, through coming up with new plots every few minutes. But then I have new inspiration now as well (thanks to the new Fast Five trailer) and it's currently at 13k. I could use it for the xover Big Bang thingy if I should decide to take part in it that is. But I could also try and post the next few parts of my Dark Angle x5!Jared story as a BigBang fic. Decisions, decisions.

♥ Let's not talk about j2_everafter. I watched the movie. That's it. Draft is due January 10th. *flails*

♥ There is not much to tell otherwise. I'm done with Christmas shopping and I have no idea what I'll get for Christmas this year. My mum is not even hinting and my grandparents keep quiet as well, which is really kind of cool. I'm looking forward to Christmas this year. I wasn't last year. It's nice to be home again and to have such things as the holidays so closely after.

♥ Speaking of Christmas, I got a really cool J2 story already as a present. Check it out. It's great.

♥ Thank yous:
- for the cards to akintay, _bettina_ and lizook12! *hugs*
- for the vgifts to joans23 and anisalovesu! *huggles*

Also, hey elless18, I haven't forgotten about the chocolate, but will only be able to send it in January.. :) I have it already.

♥ On a random note: there are Swimming World Championships going in right now. In Dubai. I haven't seen a single race yet and I fear I won't be able to see one. Well, Aaron pulled out and I have idea why but there are still some guys (and girls) I know and would like to see. There is Nathan and then there is RyRy.. no Phelps though. Sometimes I really miss the sport and being able to watch it. These days I have no time and I actually tend to forget about it. That's not so cool. It makes me nostalgic as well.
Also, I can't believe that Ed Moses is competing again.. in Masters Swimming.. LOL

♥ It's too cold!

♥ Thank you guys for all the messages, v-gifts, mentions, Tweets and fic (which I haven't read yet but will in a minute)! I'll reply to the PMs soon. You all made my day, which means a lot because it's the first time I'm not with my family of close friends during my birthday. It's a little weird but the group I'm here with is awesome and I was invited to coffee (tea) after work and got a sheep magnet and flapjacks cake. My colleagues gave me cookies and hugs. So yes, my birthday has been a good one so far.

♥ The package my mum sent arrived on time, today and I even got it without having to figure out where the nearest post office is. I have German chocolate now and a really cool bracelet. My mum also send a card with a Kitty paw print and that actually made me cry a little. I miss my cat.

♥ I actually wanted to make an entry about our Sunday walking tour around the coast of Howth, post pictures and all that but I'm too tired right now. Will do that some time late, because my pics turned out pretty well. I saw a seal that day. My feet are still a little dead from the walk though, 10km in 6 hours isn't bad...

♥ Also got my spn_j2_xmas assigment and I actually am pretty happy with my prompts. I can work wirth all of them but I think I'll pick the one I already have an idea for. If that shouldn't work out I can still try the others.

Happy Birthday toxica939!
Have a great day.

Jensen overload during the last two day, not that I mind.
Bitchy!Snarky!Jensen and awkward questions. So nothing new.
The only thing I actually realized is that it's amusing to see Jared in slightly too small shirt and Jensen in a slightly too big sweater, which then resambles one of Jared's as well.
Clothes get mixed up a lot in the Padalecki-Ackles household as it seems. And it's so weird to be able to say Padalecki-Ackles household when it is not fiction, because really.. it's true.

I am done!!!!
I finished my spn_j2_xmas story!!!
Now I just have to go over a few things and then I'll send it off to be betaed (either tonight or tomorrow).
Yay me, I guess...
I am not really sure what to think about it though, I am not even sure I am close to what my recipient likes.
Well, I did as much as I could without prompts.

Happy Birthday to splashpink!!
Hope you have a great day!
*sends sparkles*

And Happy Birthday to sunnychrisla as well!

I got my assignment for spn_j2_xmas and I think I can do that.
Now I just have to decide which pairing because my recipient likes the ones I can write but has one as a clear favourite.
Problem is I have never written a longer story with one of them. Only with the other pairing.
Hmmm.... But I think I actually might have an idea.

And yes, I am freaking out over the assigment because I actually really like the writing of my recipient and I feel like I can never even come close to that, especially if I should choose the favourite pairing.
So yeah.. uhm.
Meep?

I am actually quite okay with the assignment I just have to decide what to write and right now that's the only problem there.

I have been eating PopTarts for breakfast today and I forgot how much I love them. I just wish they weren't so freaking expensive around here.
