This is the live

♥I signed my lease contract yesterday! So yes, the apartment is officially mine now. Sent in application for the money as well, now I can only hope that things work out there as well. And now I have to start packing and sort things out. Moving day should be in two weeks, have to talk to the former tenant still about stuff. And have to find a new internet provider (this goes out to the German people on my flist: any tips and hints for me??? I have to decide soon).

♥ I've spent my days planning where to put things in my new place and making lists of what I'll need to buy. Man, you never know what basics you have around until you move and need to figure out what to buy.

♥ No news on the job front, which is very frustrating. No one calls back even if they said they will. Sent off another round of applications. I'm in the mood to write more but can't find any job offers

♥ Haven't done much this last week. I felt like death warmed over most of the time and it wasn't a cold or the flu. I jest felt dizzy, tired and achy all the time. No cough or snot or anything. It was weird. Had a doctor's appointment today. Seems like it was a mixture of things, allergy, exhaustion and stuff. I'm better but still so very tired.

♥ Haven't written a single word in days. I have ideas, know what I want and where to go with fic but I can't concentrate long enough to sit down and write. I've read way too much though. But then again, you can never read enough.

♥ Fandom things: J2 is my way out of boredom these days. Fic and SPN eps. Man, I'm kinda looking forward to this week's episode but I'm also weirded out. This could be very awesome or could go very wrong.
Also, I'm only watching "Gossip Girl" for Dan/Blair these days, everything else is so damn boring.
Oh and I need more Sherman/Cooper "Southland" fic, especially after this week's episode. Even the show seems to ship them.

♥ I wanted to say more but I forgot. Couldn't have been that important.

♥ j2_everafter fic has been posted. I'm actually okay with how that turned out.
"A Day in the Life of a Sidekick ", Jared/Jensen, PG-13, loosely based in National Treasure.

♥ I have been working on my new prompt tables and will be using the remaining Christmas prompts as well. I hope to have them done by the end of the months. So I owewhitereflection, Alec/Jared, which is already in work and might be the first one done. Sorry enablelove and akintay for the long wait, but you'll get your fics. Promise.

♥ I'm slowly catching up on the SF con videos and these two here made me laugh so much. I love, love Jared's laughter and the way he looks at Jensen while cracking up and Jensen just follows along.

♥ I also had a good laugh last night while watching SPN. Due to the episode and due to morgentau keeping me company. That was fun. Only, I'm still way too tired after that.

♥ I won't post the spoilery pics here because I'm too lazy to upload them now but OMG I'm so looking forward to that episode. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season now anyway. I think my love is fully back. Not reading any reviews helps so much.

To the random things of the week:

♥ News about apartment. I have to get some documents together and hand them in as well, mainly the termination of my current sublease. Let's hope that's all they still need and that things will go fast from there one.Have to hand it in on Monday.

♥ Went shopping with my bro. I could spent hours at IKEA. Mainly got kitchen supplies, because they are cheap and look very cool right now. And I can put them somewhere if something won't work out. I also bought cute little pillows for the couch I don't have. But I found a couch that looks awesome and is so very comfy. I can't buy it right now because i don't know where to put it. I just hope I'll find something similar and equally cheap when I can buy it.

♥ While being on a tour I discovered that one of the electronic stores has the coffee machine my mum has been coveting over for years as a special offer. And since the price is really, really good I bought one for her and one for me. I usually don't drink coffee but you can make lattes, tea and chocolate with it as well. And really, it was only 39€ compared to the usually 99€, it's awesome.

♥ Also bought seasons 2 and 3 of "Queer as Folk" for 12€. Man, there is so much I don't remember about this show and it's really interesting to watch it all back to back

♥ my muse that is. I have ideas over ideas and I have no idea where I should start. I have a posting date for j2_everafter, so I guess that will be the first one I'll work on. It's finished but I have to flesh it out a little more. I know I owe people Christmas ficlets and since only one of them has a Christmassy theme I think I'll be good.

♥ I signed up for spn_30snapshots again. Got two claims approved. I have started yet bit if someone's interested, the Dean Winchester table is here and the Jensen Ackles table is here.

♥ Con this weekend and Jim Beaver tweeted that half the cast is sick. Well, hope the boys won't feel too bad, not cool having to entertain when you are sick.

♥ Feel like drawing again and I thought I'd do it today but since I came home my head's killing me, so maybe tomorrow. But I finished tinkering with my brand-new LJ layout and I think I really like it. I tried to J2-ify it but my graphic skills suck these days and I kinda like the tree there. So after four years of J2 or SPN layouts now a non-fandom one.

♥ Speaking about art stuff, morgentau made a cool banner for my J2/Fast and Furious crossover.
( Look! Isn't it cool? )

♥ The coat I ordered looks good but is too big. I have been thinking about what to do the last two days and I think I'll send it back. I really, really don't want to change my weight so that I can fit into it. No way. The thing is that a size smaller would fit anymore, right now I'm between sizes which kind of sucks.

♥ Nothing else to tell, other than I'm looking for an apartment. Never thought it would be so hard to find one that I can afford but things have been changing the last few years here and apartments are getting more and more expensive. I set myself the goal of finding something by the beginning of summer, the same goes for a job (I just wish there were more real jobs instead of internships).

♥ Sleep is still elusive but I at least found some new jobs I can apply for. I have a whole rant and some whining going on in my head but I don't want to write it down. I don't know why but I rather use my energy to write and get things done.

♥ Thanks blue_ant for the baby otter. He is totally cute. :)
*hugs*

♥ I'm in Dublin! And the house is awesome. My room isn't big but it's lovely and as you all can see I have wireless. YAY. My host is totally great, collected us all from the airport and hosts three of us in her own home. And she left us alone for the night, spending it with friends so that we can settle in. I have every thing (no cat though) and it's nice so far. Sightseeing and trying to find the place where I'll work is on the plan for tomorrow.

♥ The flight was okay, gave me a headache but not too bad. I had the whole aisle for myself and watched SPN eps on my cell. The dirve to the airport though was mean. I admit that I cried in the car. My mum drove me to my grandparents and the four of us drove to the airport. The first time I cried was when my mom gave me a lovely necklace and when my cat cuddle up to me. The second time was in the car. Not at the airport though, that was okay.

♥ Right now I'm tired but excited and we just had dinner with the whole group and out two hosts. I'll figure everything else out later. Also, I'll be able to watch SPN... yay!

♥ I guess I'll need a Dublin icon now. :)

Happy Birthday benitle!
Hope you are having an awesome one!
*huggles and throws virtual confetti for the online party bash* :D

♥ Lecturer apparently is very satisfied with how the course is going and with me especially, that's at least what the project leader told me today. She only called because my job agent called her to cancel on an appointment. Was nice to hear that despite being bored to death most of the time I still manage to act and be alert enough to say the right things. Not that creating sentences with the -ing gerund is so very hard, mind you. But yeah, compliments are always nice.

♥ Got a tentative date for my departure to Dublin, September 5th. We'll see if it stays like this. Would be okay, since it's a Sunday. But dude, just a little over three weeks left to get things done. *flails a little*
It also kind of drives me crazy that I still don't have an idea about the job I might be doing soon. Uncertainty scares me a little.

♥ Got fic done. Yay, although Sam is depressing the hell out of me in this one. Now I only need to type it up properly. But really, BB time isn't a good time to post unrelated fic.. LOL
I actually kind of really love the J2 story I linked in my last entry. It's sort of an unusual style for me and it was so hard to actually start with this prompt but I really like how it turned out.

♥ I want to watch some movies this weekend, any recs?

♥ Saw this screen cap from Comic con and wanted it bigger because I thought it would be good for icons or something. So I played around with my video player and the capping feature. Well yeah, turned out it gets bigger, like really huge.
Not that I mind, because ( J2 in huge on my screen can never be bad. ;) )

Happy Birthday peaches!!
*hugs*

This entry will be full of cuts.
Spent yesterday buying new pillows for my bed and ended up getting 2 new sets bed sheets as well. I mean for1.99 it's not like I spent big money there.
( I think they look neat )
But I got Swedish licorice and strawberry flavored Snörren (laces) as well. Even my cat got stuff since she needed new toys anyway.I almost bought three Veronicas Mars boxsets a 10,- but thought about it and let it be. It's nopt like I need it all that badly.
But SPN is on sale as well and I was tempted even though I already have those, the only difference would be the languages on the boxes.
Oh, bit I got a new bag and I am sort of in love with it.

( All about the maybe job/interhsip news )
It's sounds exciting and scary at the same time.
It might mean a job afterwards or just something to put on my résumé and I'll have to looking for a job anway.
I'll keep on looking now because yeah, am not giving up just yet.

Spent today at my grandparent's place. Had awesome asparagus soup and helped my grandma with her new flowers she received today.
I got a new sheep. ( Look! ), which they bought for me in Hamburg.

Managed to get the podfics I wanted from my grandpa's PC and they work. I still don't get it why it doesn't work with my laptop.

Hehe, NBC is still sending me mails about Aaron. Which is sort of nice because I get all the info, can still put them on the blog and don't have to looking for them myself.
Speaking of swimming, I don't know what to think about the rumors that Ian Thorpe wants to try a comeback.

Tried to add more scenes to Big Bang and failed spectacularly. Seems like I need a longer break before I go back to this story.
I am all blah about it and I don't even really care that my fic isn't claimed yet by an artist. If it ends up being a pity claim, who cares...
Didn't even have time to go through all the summaries yet. Wull do that later.

( 30 Day meme )

( Day 05- A thank you letter to someone who has changed your life )
( Day 06- Earliest thing you can remember )
( Day 07- Favorite cover of your favorite song )

My feet hurt!!!
Ouch.
I got some more books for my thesis, got my new public transport ticket for the semester and managed not to fall asleep while trying to finish a story.
Those are my accomplishments for the day. Nothing new on the job front, and yes I am getting tired saying that (so I guess I'll stop with that until there is anything to tell).
But hey, I left the house today. I am proud of myself.

I wanted to check out some shops but I didn't feel like it today. But I want some new skirts and maybe some new tops. I am on a skirt trip these days.
I just don't have the money to buy some new things and the way things are going I might new things anyway since I am kind of losing weight in places I never knew I could lose weight.
But then again in other places it's just hopless.

****
On to even more random things:

Changed some things with my layout, changed them back, tried new layouts, changed those and in the end I am back to the beginning with new additions.
I think I might like it this way even though it's still dark.

Today made me realise that the new F1 season isn't that far away and that I kind of miss Kimi... or your know, I miss seeing Kimi on my TV screen.
The news today even did me a favour and showed some Kimi and some Fernando.

And the new Fast and the Furious movie will be out on April 2nd around here, which is pretty cool since I am planning on seeing that one.
That and Watchmen some time soon.

Speaking of movies, I kinda of made myself watch "MBV" again (mostly because I was bored and wanted some Jensen) and again I just want more MBV/F13 crossover fic.
I really, really want more Tom/Clay, because yes it works so much for me... or you know anything involving any character played by Jensen and Jared because I kind of picture them together anyway.

Oh and I am soooo looking forward to the DVD releases of MBV and F13.
MBV will have both the 2D and the 3D version and a GagReel. Me wants... NOW!

Anyway, I was going through my picture folders for good icon pics or header pics. I didn't even know I had this ( one in bigger ) ... and I realised how much I kind of like his hips. And his hip hasn't really changed over the years. ( See? ). I just wish I had this one biger.
Yes, this is just a sorry excuse to post Jared pictures.
Just felt like it.
