djbjahgdjhsj BFF has started addressing my tattoo as he, his and him and idek, she's just so weird.



In other news I had the Sunday shift yesterday (Sunday shift on a Sunday? WHAT IS HIS MADNESS?) and oh my gawd, customers are just insane. (There's carnival coming up here mid February - all the kids were tearing the toys department apart, I kid you not). We had tons of fun, though, we were two girls at work yesterday, what in the name of everything holy is that fuckery, at least, that's what the guys were thinking, because, holy crap. Anyway, it was all in good fun! We got a shitload of snow yesterday as well, which ensured a rather slow kind of day since everyone appeared to be reluctant to leave the safety of their homes. I make it sound like an epic snowstorm - it wasn't, but still the most snow we've got since last winter and it actually was a fair bit.

We also had -23 degress celsius on the nights and about -10 during the days and skdfhksjdjf SO COLD. Winter has truly begun, peeps, now here's to hoping it'll only last through February and then get lost when March arrives. I am not a winter person, you guys, I'd rather stay under some blankets all winter. I mean, snow is pretty and all, as long as I can stay inside and look outside at it, the moment I have to go out in it, I just wilt and keel over. My head can't handle it, basically.

Now, I've been watching an absurd amount of Project Runway, I think I need an intervention.

I've also been trying to fix the formation of all my posted fics (all my creys, all my frustration) but I've sort of just given up now. I'll porbably move them to AO3 and be done with it. When I can be bothered. All the fics are terribly disorganized now and I don't blame you guys if you divorce me because of the mess, it's fully understandable. My eyes get all twitchy when I look at them now, so I might take them down until I can sort it out.

Only Denmark, seriously, they've already made a documentary about the Danes on Costa Concordia jfc, what is this even, you'd think the Danes were the only ones on board. I mean, this country is so small and so dull that we basically have to make up our own news. That's just so bad.

Word of advice - trying to write super angsty fic while blasting Arashi's Believe is just not helping things along, oh my god, I might need to re-invent my super-emo-angsty playlists from when I was a teenager, holy crap, I was such an angsty kid in periods. Coldplay and Linkin Park, here we go. Any other suggestions? I'm all ears, literally.

My new schedule for classes is pretty awesome, I only have class Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so I have, essentially, a four day weekend. You won't hear any complaints from me, nope, nu uh, none at all. No regrets for signing up for those tedious classes, no regrets, not even half a one. Who knows, I might even find Classic Philosophy interesting by summer (all the yawns, I highly doubt that, huh), but Greek-Roman Archeology sounds verrrrry interesting and I really can't wait for that.

I'm thinking of setting up a Pitch A Fic (see what I did there? I'm so clever. No, really) post where I'll update it with ideas for fics (any fandom) and then... well, if you guys have any ideas for fics (or kinks or squicks) just head over there and comment and I'll... think about it. I'm done promising fics for people, I think, because I tend to fail spectacularly on that account, sadly. So, pitch a fic instead?

I'm also not amused at Glee fandom is reading into everything going on in the show, I'm so convinced that more than 95% of the show has no deep meaning whatsoever. On the other hand, I'm super pleased with the current slow Arashi - fandom has been blessedly quiet. Aaaaah, silence~~~

Now it's time for that stupid documentary about Costa Concordia, and I will just sit here and mock it for all it's worth. Not the horrible event itself, goodness no, but seriously, the Danish media? /facepalm.

I know I ask this every single time, but HOW ARE YOU FLIST? *snuggles*

Oh God, the italian media are doing even worse regarding the Costa Concordia. Morning, afternoon and evening, at every hour some channel will be airing something regarding the CC. Worst of all, my cousin was on the Concordia so my mom feels the urge to watch EVERY FREAKING THING and comment it afterwards -___-

Oh, Glee... are we talking about the return of a certain someone? Because I do have some issues with that, but I'm willing to wait to see what will actually happen in the episode. (I'd love to see a scene between Blaine and the comeback person though >.>). In the meanwhile, I'll just continue watching the performances of Wanna be starting something and I'm sexy and I know it and just be amused by the fact Klaine must have the hottest steamy sex >:DDDDD

I didn't think it could get any worse, but I'm willing to bet you have it worse than we do up here. Denmark had a couple of passengers on board and that apparently means that we have to talk about it around the clock. /dies

well actually, I wasn't singling any event out, I was more on board with the entire "Everything they say and do and what they wear are incredibly profound" thing that's going on at the moment, and it's incredibly tiring. I don't really think that Kurt's clothing holds that much meaning, but to each their own, I guess. Well, I think we can just address it by name*laughs*. I'm really torn about Karofsky, because I was so happy for the character that he seemed to be out of the series without being butchered to death, but it seems that the writers are going to strike again with a case of worse writing than ever. I stand on my right to be incredibly skeptic.

I seriously can't wait to watch Ricky Martin, it's my childhood right there, but I'm super bummed they aren't going to be a little meta and sing Livin' La Vida Loca, because now that would've been epic!

Regarding Karofsky, one thing I'd really love to see is him asking Blaine he is sorry as well, because he has been violent towards him as well >_>

But I liked the theory of Kurt having comfort clothes after Blaine's injury, wearing the bowtie + sweater one day and the Christmas episode outfit at the end xD

Well, to be honest, I'm more bummed out if the recent spoilers about Karofsky and the suicide thing turn out to be true, because wow, that would suck. And really, even though Karofsky was violent, Blaine pushed him in Night Of Neglect, (one more reason that episode was such an epic clusterfuck, I can't even), so both would have to own up to it, I think. I'm not condoning either, I'm very much anti-violence, so. I'm not defending Karofsky, mind you. And I'm also very much on the fence about the anger management issues Blaine seems to have in S3 (even if it's just because the writers suck). I'm not really into canon!Blaine at the moment, I'm living happily and vicariously through fanon!Blaine.

Well, there's that (which is think is adorable) and then to some kind of thirty page novel about which clothes he wears to signify whatever event in national history. Meta is fine, I'm just annoyed that people seem to forget that it's a tv show, albeit an oft provoking and offensive one, but in the end it's about entertainment, it's not trying to give way to enlightenment of the world.

Yes, of course, sorry xD It's episode 3x12, entitled "The Spanish Teacher"! He saves the entire episode. Be prepared for the rest of the episode being pretty offensive from the get go, though.

When I was in the wrong side of the pond, it snowed till Easter. I was not happy at all. I always admire who dare to put up "pitch a fic" things because I can't write things people tell me. Perhaps this is because I do this for a living anyway when I ghostwrite and the clients tell me exactly what they want written and how and where etc.

I don't follow Glee at all, so I can't comment on that. I'm pleased with the "peace" in Arashi fandom at the moment, but I'm getting annoyed with many fandoms (not just J-entertainment) using the words "fierce" and "flawless". Maybe I'm being crotchety for thinking there is no such thing as flawless. Maybe I'm old fashioned for thinking that "fierce" does not mean "of exceptional quality", and maybe I'm weird for disagreeing most vehemently with many fandoms' thinking that "fierce" should be equated with sexy. As an abused person, fierce means a totally different thing to me. And it makes me uncomfortable when any fandom uses "fierce" because they take it to mean something positive and that this "fierceness" is a desirable trait. Whereas to me, "fierce" is fierce, as in as fierce as a wild animal because I associate it with shouting, the barking of vulgarities in a loud, agressive way, beatings, whipping with a belt, strangulation and things for "answering back" or for disagreeing, being fiercely accused of self-inflicting the wounds when one tries to get help. But that's me and what I understand by fierce. It just makes me uncomfortable. It's just me, I know. People will say I should "get with the programme" and accept that this is what "fierce" means nowadays. But I can't condition myself to think it is positive to describe a person's behaviour, performance, artwork, whatever as "fierce" , and I can't condition myself to think "fierce" is a desirable trait to have nor do I think it is a good thing to emulate. I'm not offended. I'm just uncomfortable. So whenever I see any fandom use it, i skip the article/entry.

And other than that, I'm well. Itchy from the thyrotoxicosis flaring up again, but other than that, I'm okay. The lesions from the sun (that were on the arms) are better, and I have plum jellies. I'm mainly on DW these days and only post on LJ when I remember to. I know I can cross post, but I can't be arsed to. LJ has some "surprise" changes slated for 15th Feb, but I'm wary. I'm asking around for ghostwriting and editing projects, but silence so far. And I'm working on a paper for something, and trying to write something I feel inspired to write - but it's slow in coming as I keep rewriting sections I've already written.

Well I agree with you, it seems that the best line of action would be skipping entries and fandoms triggering that squick for you. Personally, I use "flawless" in the sarcastic and/or ironic way that I see it as - of course nothing and no one is flawless, there's no such thing honestly. Fierce - Well, I blame America's Next Top Model and Project Runway (especially the season where the winner was infamous for belting that word more than any other), but I don't mind it per se. Again with the irony and the sarcasm, but I haven't really encountered anyone who used it and meant it quite seriously, which is probably why I don't see a problem with using it, either.

It pleases me to hear that you're doing good these days! I haven't been much on either site - I've been haunting lj most because I've been requiring some assistance in regard to my writing, and these people are easiest for me to catch on lj. Again, I haven't really been on either, but when I'm already here to stalk some people, I just sort of end up hanging here.
