So, for those who are in [info]runaway_tales, or anyone who is just curious about my writings, I has a meme for you!! (that I stole from [livejournal.com profile] sirwynai and didn't rephrase at all)

Choose a fandom from the list below, and if you want, some characters as well. Then pick a prompt from one of these three websites; fml.commlia.com or tfln.com (FMyLife, MyLifeIsAverage and TextsFromLastNight) and I will write you a drabble concerning that prompt and characters.

In return, post in your journal.


Drabble = 100 - 500 words

Fandoms I will do: Misfits, Outsiders, Cruel, Finding Me, Letting Go, ABC, Young Guns, Devils in Cellblock D. Yeah, pretty much the Misfits U, I just listed it as more stuff than it actually is.
C. and I have been talking about poetry over the last few days and he sent me a ton of his to read. I have read bits and pieces and I actually like it which is quite a feat to accomplish because poetry and me have never really been friends. Yesterday, he told me to give it a try, start with something fairly simple, namely the haiku.

Now, with sixty-six under my belt, I'll move on to tanka and see how that works out for me. It's actually a lot of fun. And from reading some of his tuff, I leaned something really, really cool: it doesn't have to be complicated and convoluted. It can be fairly easy and about the silliest things. I'll probably post some sooner or later.
 I applied to Bayreuth, Erlangen, Heidelberg, Konstanz, Mannheim and Tübingen.

As of now, I got prematurely accepted into Konstanz which is like ... whoa, how the hell did that happen? And while I'll only get the official acceptance in August, I have an email that says that it's binding and that they can't just take it back if they find people who are more awesome than me. This is not a usual thing but I sure as hell won't complain. I was having this mopy "they're not going to accept me anywhere anyway and I'll be lucky if any of those schools takes me" attitude and then, boom, about an hour after I applied for Konstanz on Sunday I get that mail. I was .... I have no idea how to describe it but it was the best confidence boost ever.

Now I'm done with my applications and it's basically wait and hope. My dad is pretty confident that they'll all take me although he is a bit disappointed that I ended up not applying to Freiburg, another really good school that my uncle happens to teach at. I was going to but dropped it from my list because there was nothing remotely interesting for me to apply to.

Also, we've been joking about what I need to do in my first week of university once I get there: find a male student who is good at math and preferably bad at languages and latch on to him. I was telling a friend about  this yesterday and he immediately asked why it had to be a guy. Obvious answer: The likelihood of a guy being bad at languages and good at math is a lot higher than with a girl.

I still haven't seen Transformers 2. I tried on Sunday but I was too tired. Nevermind that Luke then kept me awake for ages. i have however watched Torchwood: Children of Earth Day One last night and it's interesting. There's the whole conspiracy angle to it with this, the notion that they will recruit new members and Jack, Ianto and Gwen work really well together even without Tosh and Owen but it's not like they pretend they were never there. Also, there is this really interesting concept of Jack and Ianto being a couple now and there's something really interesting about it because there are pairings that I feel get stale once they get together but at this point, it's not all lovey dovey (yet), so it's cool to watch that. Let's see if it lasts.

I need to catch up on my smut challenge really badly. I still have to write affection (Tim/gf), doubt (Zach/Janna), anguish (Wes/Hobbie), ambition (?), enthusiasm (Kev/Lara) and suspicion (?). And I have to catch up on JulNo. I don't know what my current WC is but with applications and such I'm probably behind by now. But I want to get some writing for both the smut challenge and JulNo done today along with my other prompts I still have.

happy hour + evening + pint
too much information + it's about time + tablespoon / teaspoon
solid gold
primordial
historic
bedtime
dab
pinch
dash
scoop

That's basically my to-do list for this month. I just want to finish those, hit 50k on JulNo and post as much as possible.
 So, this weekend has been relatively sleepless and I haven't gotten all that much done. I saw this in someone else's LJ and I'm not afraid of copying, so bullet points:
  • Yesterday was WriDay. I had signed up for 10k and hit it last minute although I would have been able to write more hadn't it been for more attempts to finally get the application process going after lots and lots and lots of technical difficulties.
  • to bed at around 4am on Friday and Saturday, up at 8am and 9.30am respectively. Not tired.
  • booked flight to Berlin for July 19 (Sunday), returning on July 23 (Wednesday).
  • fleshed out list of schools I want to apply to and what I want to major in.

plans for the rest of the day today:
  • get printer to work
  • fill out more applications
  • write 6k (Sunday word wars), at least 3k for JulNo, one smut piece and fotd
  • go to bed earlier
  • watch Transformers 2 (either today or tomorrow)
  •  
I'm pissed at those idiots who ask me to lend them stuff and then throw it away only for someone to have to rescue it out of the trash. Especially if it's stuff that's really important to me like my notebooks that I was hesitant about giving out in the first place and the quotes that I collected for five goddamn years. They mean a lot to me, so throwing those out pisses me off big time and I love Vanessa even more for noticing them and preventing the assholes from throwing them out. That's how you repay people for lending you stuff?! Sorry, but that really gets me worked up because I was hesitant about giving them to anyone who I'm not really close with and I did and that's what I get from it and I'm so fucking angry about it.

I felt utterly pathetic crying my eyes out about missing AC today and I really can't explain what the hell happened. I just miss her. and I can deal with hit. If I'm a baby for missin her all of a sudden, then so be it. If I'm too emotional, fine. I just missed her and still do a little but it's fine. And I'm glad I had someone to tell me it was okay because I honestly didn't feel like it was until I was told so.
i like bananas and grapefruits and cherries and I had cherries today. My dad picked them from the cherry tree int he garden. Not big and dark like the one they sell but smaller and only reddish but still tasty and sweet with yellow flesh.
It's funny how often I was told not to drink alcohol today. Do I look like a girl who drinks that much?
I think I miss my mommy sometimes.

incoherent

donating blood tomorrow.
had a really awesome time this evening. *pokes the person responsible gently* It felt really good.
need to write FotD. still not completely coherent, I'm afraid. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. I guess I can be incoherent every once in a while although there's probably no need to share it XD
enough insanity.

bad day

May. 25th, 2009 11:19 pm
from 10am to 8pm, I just lay in bed, trying to read or do something but unable to because of really bad cramps. Guess my body felt like making up for being nice to me last month and letting me have those days of the month without PMS. I kept having hot / cold phases that followed each other in brief succession and were a pain. It's 11.30pm and still fucking 27°C. Today was hellish with those high temperatures because there's nothing worse than cramps, period and high temperatures combined. Still haven't fully recovered from the cramps but it's a lot better than it was earlier today, so I might just take another painkiller before going to bed soon. weird day today. and really bad at that. When I had coherent thoughts, they focused on really silly stuff I shouldn't be thinking about becuase it's really none of my business. oh well, tomorrow will be better.

and happy birthday to silly. i wanted to call her but I was incapacitated D:
I went to get food about an hour ago. As usual, they took way longer to get it done than originally said, so I waited for about twenty minutes, getting into a conversation with the guy who was waiting as well. Less handsome, younger version of Mark Pellegrino.

When I came in, I took a few furtive glances because I was like, "WTF, he looks like Jacob" and he noticed and I guess he assumed I was checking him out. We started talking about food and some random meaningless stuff while waiting. We agree that Northern Hemisphere is way more awesome than Southern Hemisphere for one. How 25°C is too much but at least better than -25°C. After a while with no food materializing for either of us, he asked if I was getting food at all or if I was planning on just going along with him and eating from what he was getting. "Nah, not today. My dad's waiting for his dinner."

When he left, he gave me his name, I gave him mine and got a "nice name" to go with the "you're funny" I had gotten before during the conversation. And "Am I gonna see you next week?".

So, what else is there to say? mid to late twenties, works, studied something, dunno what. owns a car and a scooter, has a friend who lived in Hawaii for a while, thinks Alaska is cool (he brought it up), bad cook. There's more but I need to do real things. I just thought it was weird that he looked like Jacob. Wouldn't have started a conversation if it hadn't been for that.

nice

I hate writing nice things about people. Or being forced to come with nice stuff about a bunch of people on the spot. It's a pain and I don't feel really creative. But I need to get this over with.

holy shit

May. 8th, 2009 05:29 pm
141 emails back and forth with Wet Sponge today. i know we're crazy and it's not unusual to get over 100 regularly when I'm around all day (on weekends for example) but whoa, 141 without getting dirty, that's an accomplishment. And i still got stuff done :D
not all I was supposed to get done but hey, usually he distracts me a lot more.
