about this journal
"Define normal."

"Montaigne said obsession was the wellspring of genius and madness."

"Flash, don't heckle the supervillain!"

"I’m just some paranoid megalomaniac with a bloated ego and a victim complex who thinks that everything in the world spins around him. Yeah, that’s the simple answer."

    VACATION YAY! It's finally here! Four glorious weeks of it!

    Off to London in just a little while, where I'll meet Lisa (who I haven't seen in two years!) later today and hopefully can find [info]yavannauk (who I haven't seen in a year!) at the London Film and Comic Con this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing you both SO MUCH! *hugs*

    Also, Scott Bakula! W00T!

    I meant to do a million things this week, like relate the story of the little hedgehog who faked his own death in my backyard, but I just didn't get around to it. When I get back and have DAYS of doing NOTHING I will definitely take care of all the comments that need replying.

    Take good care! See you all when I'm back next Friday!

    Buzzer Beat = \o/ )

    Awesome suggestion, [info]karafuru0409! I understood a lot more than I thought I would. I might even understand more the second time around. \o/

    Now that everything has settled down a bit, I've finally had the chance to finish No Longer Human and I really don't know what to think of it. I'm still really really looking forward to seeing Toma tackle the role and I'm sure he'll do a great job, but whoa!

    Also, poor Yamapi! His boyfriend is going to be a pain in the ass to live with while he's filming this. Or am I confusing the real world with the world inside my head again? *g*

    My reaction to Majo Saiban episode 7: )

    From an earlier episode, but it cracks me up so much because it's so Japanese: bowing to the person on the telephone. Oh, Japan! ♥

    Also: Toma! and Toma! and Toma *sigh (look at that flawless skin!)*.

    And a fic research question: what do you call those giant screen thingies they ride around on during concerts? Car? Cart?

    *sigh* It was expected, I suppose. They are selling my house. I cried for a bit and then I pulled myself together. We'll deal with it when the time comes. For now I'm going to do the unhealthy thing and escape in fandom. So there.

    What is that Chinese proverb about opportunities again? That's how I'm going to approach this. Who knows? I might find a better house. One that actually has central heating upstairs so I don't have to freeze my butt off in the winter. One with an actual decent kitchen, not one so tiny that I have to do all my food preparations on top of my fridge.

    I was supposed to go to my school's proclamation today, but I just couldn't work up the energy. Oh, remember that writing exercise I did on Yamapi? I got a 9,5/10 for it! Hahahaha! *draws sparkly hearts around Yamapi*

    On the plus side, hotel and con tickets are booked, so Lisa and I are definitely going to the London Film and Comic Con next month. Woot! Scott Bakula!

    Also on the plus side, my fic is finally off to beta. Why is it always such torture to click that send button?

    Finally, thank you all so much for the birthday wishes and the good thoughts! It's very much appreciated. I will reply to everyone when I'm not feeling so drained.

    My apologies for not replying to comments yet. Work kind of exploded and then RL sneaked up on me aswell. Long story short: my landlady passed away. Now her daughters are planning to visit with the notary to value the house I live in. What with class and a certain fanfic that ate my life, household work hasn't been on top of my list of priorities, so now I'm cleaning up like hell to make my house presentable.

    Also, if you could send out good vibes that the daughters don't get it into their heads to sell my their house, I'd appreciate it. I love living here. The neighbourhood is quiet. It's only ten minutes away from my work. And aside from all that, if I have to move, again, I think I'm going to go into a depression.

    Oh, and my mom thinks Toma's the prettiest of my Jboys. (She thinks Yamapi's pretty, but (along with the rest of the world) she hates his hair. Hee!)

    I'm off to spend the long weekend with my parents.  I plan to sit in the garden with my editing pen and my fic (printed out at work, because that thing is 100 pages, man!), and hopefully I'll have an edited fic when I get back.

    Exam is DONE!  Pfew!  Now we can get back to the important stuff like catching up on LJ and Toma/Yamapi fic.

    (The writing exercise this time was about our hobby.  I ended up going on about how much I'm looking forward to Yamapi's new drama.  I even wrote his name  山P.   I wonder what she'll make of it. *g*  Well, I could hardly write: my hobby is reading/writing homoerotica about pretty Japanese boys.)

    ETA: Is it just me or is LJ being a fantastic bitch?

    Today was a holiday in Belgium and I've been very productive. Did the dishes, did the laundry, took a long walk (the weather was gorgeous) and...

    IT'S DONE! 47000 words! Officially the longest story I've ever written. Now comes the herculean task of cleaning it up, but that'll have to wait. I really need to start studying for my exam on Tuesday.

    And how do I celebrate finishing this fic that has plagued my existence for the last months? By immediately starting to write the sequel. *facepalm* What is wrong with me? Or should I say, Toma and Yamapi, what are you doing to me?

    So Yamapi's new drama has been confirmed (and about time too) and every one is screaming: "Oh, no, not Kitagawa Keiko!" or "Oh, no, not Aibu Saki!" and my first reaction was: "Ito Hideaki!! Hiromasa!" If it's anything like ProDai, I'll be very happy, because I loved ProDai! (Of course that might have more to do with ProDai being a Japanese romantic version of Quantum Leap.)

    If your fingers aren't otherwise occupied in a few hours, could you cross them for me and my Japanese presentation?

    Last year I did it on Tasogare Seibei, so this year I'm doing it on Nobuta wo Produce. Like I said to my friend, Lisa a while ago: I've traded Sanada in for a model twenty years younger. *g*

    - I can't feel my arms, but I'm this close to wrapping up the plot part of the Fic of Doom. Was hoping to do that this evening, but fell asleep on the couch instead. Woe! But should get that done tomorrow. Which means only the epilogue to be written and some gaps that still need to be filled up. There's light at the end of the tunnel. Yay!

    - No one would suspect that I've got a Japanese presentation (next Tuesday) and an exam (the Tuesday after that) coming up, because every spare moment is spent on this fic.

    - GO, TOMA! OMG, is 2009 his year or what? I'm sure it surprises no one that I've already ordered the book it's based on. And yes, I will definitely be picturing Toma in my head while I read it.

    - The Jin Tegoshi thing cracks me up so hard! I secretly hope it's true, because oh, you little divas! Do we need to get you swimsuits and a mud bath?
