... my, I have been neglecting pretty much everything internet related lately, haven't I? Sorry about that, I'll try to get back into things a bit more now.

Usually I don't get sick of stuff this easily, but after the move everything got so chaotic I didn't really know where up and down was anymore. By chaotic I don't mean stressful either, because, well, sadly I'm still part of the unemployed masses, but there are so many issues to deal with, so many minor obstacles to overcome that they may as well be one really bloody huge one.

Anyway, things are sort of looking up and I have decided to tell my pessimistic nature to shove it and try to be positive for once in my life. Go, optimism!

Shortly after arriving in Yaxley I started helping out at a local Bernardo's charity shop. This is officially the best thing I've done in months, hands down. Not only does it improve my social skills and gets me speaking english on a regular basis, but it also makes me feel better about myself in general and gives me something to do.

And the awesomest thing in the history of forever? Kish will more than likely move in with me for a year until she can get into an art/design college! *dances a little dance of joy and happiness* It's gonna be brilliant, let's just hope she beats the evils of her drivers license test soon.

Today I have first been mistaken for a guy by one person and then been called a lovely lady by someone else like half an hour afterwards. This amuses me greatly.

Today there was a BBQ at my mother's workplace, and I went 'round to meet her colleagues and help out a bit and at the end off the day I've been told I can fill out an application form for a weekend job if I want to, and well, of course I want to. Keep your fingers crossed, people, I may soon be working!

Another up-side to us moving into a new house, beside me getting a telly and it being cheaper: it takes only about ten minutes to walk to work for my mum and me (if I get it. *bounce*). Currently it'd be like one hour on foot and twentyfive minutes by bike, which is not a lot, but still, less is better.

Now I'll just put on a movie and then I'll likely fall into bed, g'night m' dearies.

Just got woken up with a bit of a metaphorical slap to the face in form of the information that my graduation is not being recognized in this country.

Instead of whining like I usually would I took a few deep breaths and signed myself up for adult education, now I need to show up to the assesment thingy in 3-4 weeks.

*rubs temples* Ain't like I didn't want to meet new people anyway, so this is convenient... *mantra*

Not much to say, I only wanted to share my new favourite web-radio: Musicovery. It's fun and easy to use, check it out. X)


Also I've completely lost my mind now, because I really did end up cutting my own hair today.

Witness the carnage )

...okay, if anyone has any prompts or fic requests just leave them here now. Multiple prompts per person are totally fine with me, too.

Fandoms I think I can coherently write for: Life On Mars (UK), Cable&Deadpool, Hustle, on a good day maaybe The Dresden Files and very, very maybe Watchmen

But really, request anything you know I've seen/read at some point... just keep in mind that I don't do the fic thing too often, I'm nervous. xD

All ratings and genres are fine with me.

This fridays [info]fannish5.

Name 5 dead characters you'd like to see resurrected.

Mainly being into comics makes this question surprisingly hard to answer. xD And I'm only going with fandoms where ressurection actually seems likely...

5) Ethan Rayne (Dude, he's a Chaos Mage, of course he'll be back in one way or another.)
4) John Winchester (Really, scrap the badly photoshoped photographs, just get JDM back on the show. u_u)
3) Gertrude Yorks (Fuck you, Marvel. Bring her back already!)
2) Sam Tyler (One of the many reasons why I don't like A2A too much, I still miss Sammy-Boy. I don't even care where he re-appears, 2010 or somewhere in the '80's.)
1) Sirius Black (I stopped giving a damn about HP years ago, but still. I was, like, 13 orso when OotP came out, and totally heartbroken. xD)

The only thing I have to say about the last Supernatural episode is that I want Jimmy back, he was adorable. <3

...I just had a 20 minute crying-fit complete with thoughts of 'I'm so useless and a failure and am never going to be anyone', that came completely out of bloody nowhere and finished as suddenly as it had started.

What.The.Fuck.

Am now back to being my normal, relatively-cheerful-if-slightly-confused self.

Mel had a challenge for me today, for both of us actually.

Basically both of us get to send the other a song, the worst, most annoying song we can think of, and the other has to make a fanvid with it, in which that song is used in a way that makes it somewhat more fun/bearable.

Mel now has the questionable pleasure to vid to the tunes of the Sugarbabes, and I'm forced to choose between Aqua, Lady GaGa and Paris fucking Hilton. (..no, not the repo stuff, either.)

Ah Mel, I like her, we do strange things together. <3

02: Do you think that you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?

Uhmn, since my mother thinks having to cycle to work for half an hour a day is way too much (*facepalm*) we might be moving again soon.

Yeah, 'meh' seems quite appropriate.

Also, I've been playing a lot of Sims 2 again recently, with loads of custom content and other fun-yay-stuff. Recently downloaded a Cable skin, complete with TOmesh and everything, now I'll just need a decent DP costume and I can get all disgusting and fangirlishly creepy. <33

What can I say, link spams are fun.

1) First things first; Want to sparkle and glitter like Edward Cullen? Well, now you can! With Edward Body Shimmer you too can have the skin of a killer!

I don't even know what to say, I'll just be over here laughing my ass off.


2) Somewhere a product designer can be very smug about having gotten away with this thing: To use this punching bag Toy you need to blow Wolverine.

This can in no way have been an accident.


3) And this is the big one: Adrian Veidt wears purple eyeliner.

This is what Kish (Prettina Fabulon) and Addy (Awesomesocks) have to say about this totally world moving revelation:

Prettina Fabulon says:
o_____________o
Awesomesocks ^_^! says:
I could not possibly love this guy any more, seriously
Prettina Fabulon says:
style
Prettina Fabulon says:
the purple is pretty and nicely discreet
Prettina Fabulon says:
perfect
Awesomesocks ^_^! says:
did you expect anything less from Adrian? ;P
Awesomesocks ^_^! says:
...I want to buy purple eyeliner now, tell me to cut it out
Prettina Fabulon says:
so do I...
Awesomesocks ^_^! says:
oh, okay then xD

So, just finished my first test paper, now I just have to wait for my next package. (And a grade.. I'm mildly anxious, but not very worried.)

I think next week I'll go to the library to check out some poetry... any recomendations?
