This is the live

* First things first: Happy Birthday silme711!!! Have a great day!

++++


* Nothing much to tell other that I've been really busy with work and helping out with at my grandparents and trying to avoid the summer flu my colleague has been hosting for the last week. So far I've been successful with all but the last thing. I'm on sick leave for the next few days. I feel like I've been run over by semi. I was all over the place on Thursday but was okay for the next few days until yesterday.

* I managed to meet up with sandrine twice and saw "Bastille Day" with her and slippery_fish the week before last. Then there has been football and the office betting game. I actually won a cinema gift certificate.

* I'll be so very lazy this week I'm already back in bed after the very exhausting trip to the doctor's office this morning. I'll have some chocolate (thoughts of food make me all nauseous) and make some tea and then I'll watch some Bollywood.

* Feel free to rec me fluffy feel-good fics... :)

♥ Didn't realize that I kinda went offline here. I've been reading my flist every day but it seems like I don't have to say all that much these days. Right now I'm so busy with packing and planing an preparing for the job interview that I don't really have time for anything else.

♥ Okay, that isn't really true. I went shopping with my grandma today and finally ended up with representable clothes that I can wear to a job interview and in which I don't feel like a bloated pig or 60 years old. I also managed to be very antisocial at R's birthday party but there were children and people I didn't know and everyone else was either not there or coming later. Lucky for me, slippery_fish felt equally antisocial, so we ended up talking (later with a very cool girl and some guys and then again only with the girl) and hiding away moist of the time. The wine and the chocolate cake were good though and we had waffles.. :)

♥ The rest of my weekend was spent fighting getting sucked into a new fandom (damn you, Hawaii Five-0), which was very much useless because I ended up reading way too much fanfic and getting totally immersed in them. That happens when I'm behind with a show that is okay in the beginning but gets kind of very wow once you have time to mainline the rest of the eps you had lying around. Uhm, how did this happen? So SPN is still my main fandom with my two main OTPs but this new fandom sucks me in so much right now that I can't even write the stories I really, really need to finish. One sign that a pairing got to me is the fact that I have icons. *headdesk*
Well, at least I'll have a show if/when SPN is gone (and right now I don't want it to be gone because I'm so back into it that writing Sam/Dean makes sense again). but hey, again a show I've been into from the beginning on.

♥ I'm so very much looking forward to next week. Because by then the job interview will be done, I will have the keys to my new place, I will hopefully have painted my rooms and maybe even half my stuff up there already and most of all I'll finally have time again to actually sit down and write. Because guess what? I fucking love my Big Bang idea now and I want to start writing and plotting and cursing myself for signing up again. I also want to sit down and finally finish all the open prompts and send the J2/FaF fic off to be betaed. I need more time, more hours in a day.

♥ *goes back to slightly freaking out over everything, mostly over the interview*

♥ I saw this around and thought it was a good idea... proof me wrong if you want.

So since I probably won't be able to send any Christmas cards this year (safe for the special snowflakes that always get one and to who I own packages anyway. :)) I thought I'd offer something else for the holidays.

Leave me prompts for drabbles. Can be Christmas-themed or not I don't care (and I only promise drabbles because I still have so many things to write). Yoiu know my fandoms but you can try and convince me to write something else. I just have to know about it (no promises though, leave an Plan-B prompt, too).

So yes, leave me prompts!!! Or you know, I might even try to draw or make icons. Torture me.

Considering how 'many' of you participated last time I think I won't have much to do... so I'm willing to submit to the torture... ;=)

Also this is purely for procrastination purposes and to distract myself from real life.

I have been working on the outline for the SPN RPS AU crossover fic I was somehow tricked into writing. I have some scenes done already and I don't know if I like the tone of the story so far. I like the plot, I like the idea, I like it all in all but I'm not sure about the voice.

The thing is I have this scene where I keep things vague so not to spoil the surprise but I'm not sure if it's working.

So there goes your mission (if you should accept it), tell me if it's working and if not what I should change. Should I use names right from the beginning or not?

This is the first scene after the Prologue, so everything is still new.

Warning to chani_atreides and morgentau, contains spoiler for fic, but go ahead and yell at me for fucking it all up.. LOL

( Have a 'little' snippet from the SPN RPS (J2) / Fast and Furious crossover fic )

I come bearing... fic:

-> finally managed to finish and post kros_21 birthday present.
Sam/Dean, set during and after 5.14, with spoilers for 5.16. Haven't written anything like this in a while. Not with the Winchesters anyway.
And it's sort of "Fix it" fic, which I don't even know if it is working here... But hey, "30 Seconds to Mars" made for a good title for this one.
"A Warning to people, Good and Evil ( This Is War)"

This also means that I am *this* close to finishing my Sam table.

***
Pictures:
-> silme711 asked for pictures of my new bed and bookshelf. I took some of my sort of 'new' room.
( The bed )
( The bookshelf )
( The rest.. including my new summer dress )

-> Bonus pictures because Kitty was just there.
The video though is for purequicksilver, since catching that on a signle picture has always been hard. Never thought it would work this well though, it was just a try. :)
( Kitty the cat )

***
On to the random stuff:

-> I am missing Southland already.I don't want that to be the series finale because honestly? It let a lot to be desired and I am so not ready to give up on this show.
There is so much more to tell. I want more. More John, more Ben, more Lydia and Nate and Sammy... hell even more Chickie. Just you know, more of it all.
So I hope TNT will be nice.

-> Tweaked my lj-layout a bit. As in taking a really, really old code and making it fit the headers.
I think it works way better now. Now resizing or moving when I have the bookmarks closed.
Nice.

-> Off to get ready and then having drinks with friends.
Hope the weather holds, don't need rain today.

I am not really awake for anything coherent. I had a nice evening out with friends, which turned into a night out and saw me coming home around 2.30 am.
It's amazing how packed the city was at this hour, masses of people and the trains were full.
Anyway, had waffles and caipi's and got to talk to friends, I am glad I went out even though I had to get up at 10am today.

Conclusion: I am tired!

So my Big Bang poll seems to be decided 5:1.
If someone still wants to see the plot ideas and vote, you can do this here

-> Meme # 1
Leave a comment saying, "COMMENT" and I will give you five words I associate with you. Then post about what they mean to you, along with this, at your journal.
enablelove gave me these ( words )

-> I was thinking about doing the VoicePost meme but I think I am too chicken to do it.
I can't really stand recording myself but maybe... so if you want me to answer some question in a voicepost comment and I'll try my best. But no promises.

Last but not least some pimping: There are sparkles... :)

Happy Birthday yume_odori!
*huggles*
Have a great day. :)

Busy weekend it was (and yes my grammar sucks right now).
Met up with sandrine and slippery_fish on Sunday and had one of our typical girl's days. :)
Public transpoirt is rather fucked these days since they are rebuilding one of the major stations and this weekend it was my line that got interrupted.
So I decided to take a different way, which would have taken longer normally but not this time. Ended up staying the night at slippery_fish's place because it was way too cold to be brave enough and wait for three busses.
Anyway, we watched Friday 13th and now I am supposed to write Clay/Whitney.. *lol* I think the thing that made me dream strange thing sthough was the Criminal Minds episode we watched afterwards. Creepy.

I think I am all caught up with my flist from this weekend now but if I missed anything you think I should now feel free to yell at me. :)

So I didn't write a single word this weekend, not for the epic and not for the prompts. Uhm yeah... I think I'll try to at least do something today, besides sending off applications and having to go into the cold.
It's all sunny and blue sky but that's just so wrong when it's -12°C outside.

I had an awesome day.. NOT.
So pain is less, which is cool but it's still there and comes in waves now whcih can be really annoying.
In addition to the ear and throat my nose is stuffed which led to a heavy nose bleed all day. I can't clean my nose without spending minutes in the bathroom trying to stop the blood...
So yeah.. yuck.

I made my day better though. Went home early from work, where I didn't need to be in the first place but had to get some stuff and was scheduled anyway. It was fun with the bleeding. Urgh...
Last day at work will be Friday but my boss won't be there so I have to go next week some day to get some papers and give back the chip and key. I think I am going to miss it, work and the people there.
Anyway, on the way home I got myself chili cheese fries, a salsa chicken burger (damn KFC's salsa is HOT) and a strawberry milkshake. Bought cards and CDs and went home to find cheesecake. So that was actually pretty neat.
Also found the most precious little netbook I have ever seen. Me wants. I even could but I think I shouldn't. But it is pretty.

Also waiting for me when I came home was a postcard from _bettina_. Sheeeeeeep!
*hugs*
And my first birthday present. Yes, slippery_fish, it is here and I will not open it until Monday.
I promise.

acityofwonder, sent off a card. I hope this time it makes it and I think you might actually like the stamp more than the card.. ;)

Edit: I know I owe people fic. And I should be working on the prompt tables as well. Right now though I don't really feel like writing or even reading. All I want to do is sleep, which is rare due to pain and a stuffed nose.
Sorry guys. You are not forgotten. I know it takes me longer than usual this time... And I have started all the prompts already.

Still sick but no real fever anymore. My voice is almost gone, this will be so much fun during the next days.
I have a cough now (which I usually get) and it sort of hurts.
So maybe cleaning my room after work today wasn't the wisest idea but it had to be done. I feel kind of dead right now.

Instead of working on my thesis I am writing fic which so isn't good but I couldn't concentrate on the paragraph I was writing anymore. I need to start with the spn_meanttobe fic if I ever want to have a chance of finishing it.
I am also working on a sequel to the last college!AU thingy. I have no idea why I am doing it, probably to keep my mind off of things. I am also procrastinating like mad which is bad.. really, really bad.
I hope I'll be able to get some things done during the next days. No idea how often I'll be online though.

Man, I can't believe Asylum is a week away already and I am a day away from seeing anjaliss. I also can't believe that there isn't that much time left to finish my thesis anymore.
And on Monday the posting for Big Bang will start. Where did all the time go? How do I get it back?

Won't be able to see the race tomorrow since I'll be at the airport. But after this qualifying I sort of don't get why Ferrari wants to keep Massa and diss Kimi. It was sort of of obvious who is the better driver in this year's car.
I just don't get it.

Last but not least my sibject lines will be quotes from Asylum for a while. just because I like them.
This one was Misha to me and then to some others in the customer service line around 11.00pm on Friday.

No one but me will be excited about it but I just an email from Brendan Hansen.
I giggled hard.

***
One thing I took away from Asylum I could have gone without.
I have a cold. I am feeling sick. I think it's a mixture of allergies and maybe the damn cold AC in the hotel room one night.
Bleurgh.

***
I think I won't write a real report about the convention because everything has been said and pics have been posted all over the place.
Instead I'll just take my fave quotes out from my notes and post those. I still think some of them are hilarious. And well I'll say something about my experience with the guest.

( Maybe report but not really.. just notes and things I remember )

***
I am alone at home until Sunday when anjaliss will finally be here. After that I'll be alone until the 18th.
Right now there are some things going on and I am not sure I want to be alone with them.
I should be working on my thesis but right now I just feel sick.

Yes, I am alive.
No, there won't be Asylum updates from me today.
Just so much, seeing them (all of them) live and in person, seing them interacting and so on... yeah it left an impression. Mostly a good one and I am glad I have that.
I really have to go through my notes and I sure as hell won't repost any panel stuff since it has been done and I'll only use my own fav quotes.
I am still kind of dead, exhausted and really tired. But, despite the organizational chaos and whatnot I can say that I had fun (at least for during the things I wanted to do, and trying not to get too worked up over things).
Met really cool people and I am glad that I had the chance to (btw sorry peaches that I couldn't say bye, had to catch the cap *hugs*).

I am also rather happy with my photo ops with the guys, and I am still hoping that they'll really send my Jason pic via mail, otherwise there will be an email next week.
Report, or whatever it will be, depends on what I remember, and everything else later. I just have to settle back in.
It's still all so fresh and pretty overwhelming.
As for pics, well some of mine turned out okay and with my cam rows 2&3 were necessary. Lots of blurry crap though, no flashes doesn't really work.
But I am okay with it because I know where to get them anyway.

One thing though, I find it really amazing what people can come up with, like con report wise and so on, when they weren't even there.
You really interpret a lot into things, I realise that, but hearing it live is complete different.
I can't really believe what I have read in the last ten minutes I have been online and who actually complained about what.
People? Next time go there, be there, experience it and then you can complain...
