Howdy doo, internets, just dropping in to give a brief update and assure y'all I'm still alive (the hiatus is otherwise still in effect until after my exams are over on Wednesday).

Things I've done in the past (almost) week:

1) Saw Hugo with Le Boyfriend. To copy my brief review from Facebook:

"Just got back from seeing Hugo w/ le boyfriend. Visually stunning, pretty entertaining (if a bit slow-paced) story, all-around enjoyable for movie lovers and those of us with vivid imaginations or especially active inner children. 8/10, definitely worth seeing."

2) Played literally hours of Angry Birds (it doesn't help that a gazillion new levels have been released -- I'm basically doomed to flunk out of university at this point).

3) Lined up a job for next semester (more tutoring stories!)

4) Played with my kitten, also for literally hours

5) Proofread other people's fic (at an inexcusably slow pace -- sorry, y'all)


Things I haven't done:

1) Study in a meaningful way for my finals (first one is tomorrow)

2) Finish my half-completed Strength & Conditioning term paper (due Wednesday)

3) Order my textbooks for next term

4) Call my shrink to sort out this bipolarcoaster mess


...in short, fuck all this "being a responsible adult" bullshit.

Anyway, I know y'all are probably sick to death of memes by now, but I noticed this Holiday Love Meme thing going around and decided to throw my metaphorical hat into the ring (I need all the morale boosts I can get right now *sigh*). My thread is here.

Cheers.

P.S. - My birthday is in a week and I'm torn on what to do as a birthday present to myself. Nose piercing or tattoo between my shoulderblades ("Everyone's heart doesn't beat the same"). Thoughts?

P.P.S. - Does anyone happen to have links lying around to the Idiots getting their carol on from last year? I want to post it on my Facebook as a retort to all the annoying fucks posting mall muzak versions of Christmas songs.

Proofread other people's fic (at an inexcusably slow pace -- sorry, y'all)

I don't know, mine was super fast :) Thank you again <3


And I know it depends on individual taste and all, but since you asked for thoughts - hell yes to the tattoo, hell no to the piercing. IDK, I just don't like nose piercings for some reason.

Really? I always thought nose piercings were kinda neat as long as the stud/ring wasn't too ostentatious. They can look fucking gorgeous in Indian jewelry for instance (when a decorated chain connects the nostril piercing to the ear, y'know?). I appear to be in the extreme minority in that opinion though...

Hey, to each their own, if you like nose piercings then by all means, get one :)

I don't like any facial piercings in general, I don't know, maybe I'm too old-fashioned ;)

For your gift to yourself: I also like the idea of the tattoo more than the piercing. ;)

Good luck on your finals!

Also, I think you should get the tattoo. :)

Good luck on your exams!

I got angry bird for my PC a while ago ... SO ADDICTIVE.

[emerald-skies.livejournal.com]

Dude, trust me, the phone version is even more addicting (I had it for Chrome before I bought my iPhone and it only had one set of levels -- as opposed to the 8ish on the phone version...)

[southoffebruary.livejournal.com]

The PC version has like 3 or 4 chapters, each with about 15 levels or something. I don't think I could handle any more than that. I sat and played it for HOURS. Really didnt help my procrastinating.

Hihi, I'm sorry I've been MIA lately. Life >:(

I can't comment on the thread because it's reached the comment limit, so allow me to say: I LOVE YOU AND YOU'RE WONDERFUL AND YOU DESERVE ALL THE GOOD THINGS. Your posts always make me laugh and your fics are amazing. You're one of my favorite people in the entire world. ♥

Also, HELL YES TO THAT TATTOO. And good luck with finals!!!
