Potions Class

And so I hit the 'Send' button (thanks for the dose of courage, Karasu!).

I feel weird, but also lighter. I just hope the recipient likes it.

Oh well, we'll know soon enough!

Eight days to the posting!!!

I just came back from seeing New Moon at the theater.

It wasn't as hilarious as Twilight and it was definitely too sappy, but there were those 5 minutes in total that I didn't regret spending 7 € for.

If you are shopping for a Christmas present from me, you should know I wouldn't mind a naked, wet Taylor Lautner under the tree.

Yeah, I know, I know, jailbait... But have you seen his chest?!


Speaking about being too old for those kind of things, my sister today discovered my first white hair Y_Y I feel so old Y_Y

IT'S FINALLY FINISHED.

*faints with happiness*

Dear JKR,

when are you going to publish that so talked about Encyclopedia of yours?

I need realistic timelines for my fics, damn it!

Love always and forever,

Your devoted fan that needs more information to write pr0n about the characters you created

Oooh, so angry right now.

You're right, I'm wrong. I can accept it, I did apologize.

If you start acting all high and mighty, though, you stop being right and become an asshole.

And for a fucking parking spot, no less.

I baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakeed!!!

It's been so long, but I'm back with a vengeance!

Look at my Halloween themed cakes (a day earlier) ( here! )

Aaaah, feels so good to be back!

Mood says it all.

And people wonder why I spend so many times in my fandoms.

Real life fucking sucks sometimes. I wonder why I bother at all.

And I don't even know why I'm in this mood now...

I'm so glad my week of holidays is coming soon.

Maybe I just need to rest.

Ok, ok, this time I have an excuse for beeing away for so long (Glee loving post excluded).

I've had few changes in my life in the last two months, some of which have decidedly cut off my free time.

In the middle of August my Team Leader at work took me aside and asked (read 'politely forced') me to transfer to another service in the call center I work for. Now I'm working for **** Technical Support, where **** stands for one of the biggest computer producers of the world. My job is to fix hardware (and sometimes software) related problems on the phone with the customer. You need a lot of hardware knowledge and a lot of ability when talking to people that usually barely know the size of their own hard drive.

And I don't have any of those skills, yay! So after a three weeks course we were put on line and it's been sort of a struggle since then, to learn the job, because it's full of weird procedures and you have to write everything down while you try to find what the customer actually did to his PC. And did I mention there are so many calls one can rarely breathe before the next one arrives?

But well, where I work it's considered one of the most coveted jobs, because as long as you work for **** Technical Support the job is a lasting one.

Let's hope so!

The thing that irked me most about the change of job is that it came exactly in the same period I finally managed to move out of my house.

Yes, I made it! I actually moved out!

And I had to do it during weekends, since thanks to this new job all the days off I took from work were canceled because they interfered with the course.

I spent a very busy three weeks, but I finally have my own room and the job seems to be getting easier now, and the house is clean and ready for a photoshot!

Hence the title, so beware, image-heavy under the cut!

( My humble abode )

I'm enjoying life 'alone' quite a bit, even if there's more work to do, but finally having a room of your own is wonderful! Not to mention the city is full of nice places and shops to visit, and I can finally invite my friends and colleagues home for a cup of tea whenever I wish.

Well, if the crazy person other flatmate isn't home, that's it.

But that's a story for another time, I think you had enough for today!

Besides, I really need to work on my SnuSa fic... I'm soooooooooooo behind and it's due in about a month >_< Must hurry >_

I ♥ GLEE.

( Under the cut )

( My impressions of HBP, the movie )

Today I wrote 5000 words of fic.

Missed writing very much. Feeling very satisfied with myself now, which doesn't happen very often, so I wanted to share the happiness. Should have been in bed an hour ago, though.

*falls asleep right away*

... to wish you a Happy Birthday, karasu_hime!!!!!

I hope I'm still in time, I'm not sure about the time-zone you're in!

Anyway, here's some hugs and a cake:



I hope you had a great one!

Best quote of the day:

"I'm afraid that you and the point don't seem to exist in the same universe."

I just discovered that Dreamwidth isn't on the list of blocked sites at work... yet.

And that I can crosspost! Sadly it's only to one journal, so I will try with IJ first to see if it works.

If it does... well, I might be tempted to post more often from here to relieve some of the stress so run for your life :P

This link contains spoilers for episode 4x26, but if you have already seen it you really should click.

Sweets is so cute #>_<#

I don't wanna write too much because it's late and I'm quite sleepy, but I just saw the season finales of Bones and Supernatural and... well, GUH for both of them.

Neither one of them was what I was expecting. Both were amazing, though, and they didn't left me with the 'OMG WORST CLIFFHANGER EVER' feeling the previous season finales had. Still, I can't wait for the next seasons.

I just have a couple of requests for the screenwriters, ( which of course are spoilerish, so... )

Now I can't wait for The Mentalist and Criminal Minds season finales! Especially CM, it gave me such a scare with the last episode, I thought we were gonna lose another one from the team... I hope not, we already had to get Rossi to replace Gideon, and I'm still crying about that. I shudder to think what they could replace the current characters with.

I've spent the last week with constant nausea and a general sickly feeling, which has happened at random intervals since last November (io insisto che è stato il kebab che ho mangiato a Lucca che mi ha dato il colpo di grazia....), and I'm very tired about the whole thing.
I'm trying to find a reason for it and the only logical thing seems to be the abrupt weather changes, but it doesn't make much sense when it goes from cold to warm...

And speaking of warm, we've gone from coat to sleeveless shirts in the space of ten days. Today's so hot that I had to change from black to light blue jeans because the heat was killing me. And of course, being that I have the afternoon shift at work, my mother just decided noon was the best time of the day day for me to take her grocery shopping and wait in the car under the sun. *barfs again*

Anyway! Tv show seasons are ending! House already had, and OMG why does it always have to be angstyyyyy!!! *sigh*
That doesn't exactly bode well for bones or Supernatural, especially seeing how the last episode of both series went ^^; Oh, I started watching another one, and at least with it I'll have no fear of possible bad endings. Harper's Island IS a bad ending. But it's also very interesting *_*

Still no news on the house front, the ones we find are either overpriced holes or too difficult to live in (six stores with no elevator, just imagine the fun with grocery bags and water). But I can't wait >_<

This is all for today, I really have to get moving, work starts in about an hour and I need to be there a bit earlier because my computer takes at least 10 minutes to get ready...

Let's hope the heat will sto people from calling!

Gaaaaaaaaaaahhh you know when you discover something and desperately want to talk about it with someone but you realize no one's going to understand your glee about it and it just feels pointless?

Well, that's me at the moment.

Damn, I wish I wasn't so damn excitable.

Lazyness strikes again!

It's almost time for me to go to bed, but I realized it's been a while since I've updated my journal, and I sort of miss it..

I don't have photos to post today, even though I made a lot of cakes and weird food, but the pictures are all in cameras that aren't mine, so I can't show them at the moment. Well, you'll live.

Nothing very interesting happened; still working, still sleepy, but I did finish Resident Evil 4 and I started the Separate Ways spin off, although I'm going to finish that only after I've finished The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, which is, so far, quite maddening. I knew I was clumsy with gamepads, but not THAT much! But I'm having loads of fun, I love Zelda games!

I also FINALLY finished Phantom Hourglass. I only had the last monster to beat, but I'd set it aside for a couple of months and the urge to see the end came only last week. I can't wait for Spirit Tracks to be out, hopefully by then I'll have caught up with both Wind Waker and Twilight Princess!

Oh, I'm looking for a room near my workplace, so I'll probably move before summer. I'm still looking and I'm not really that sure I'll find something that suits my tastes, but I really want to move, have a room just for myself and live in quiet and relax. My family drives me mad more often than not.

Tv shows keep rocking, and help me cope with work and family-related stress. Seasons seem to be coming to an end, and I'm very afraid of withdrawal. Can't wait to see how Supernatural comes out, though. And Bones. And I'm still hoping Kyle will one day get a decent ending (DAMN YOU ABC!!!).

Meanwhile, I'm being smothered by the tons of fics I still have to read. I don't even want to know how many tabs I've reached, just thinking about it makes me want to cry. Still. I love my fandom.

Oh, btw, does anyone have an invite for Dreamwidth to spare? I'd like to create an account there, since I've seen most of the people in my flist already did. Or is there a way to open a free one without having an invite? A drabble/ficlet will be written for those who help! All done!
