Done with finals!! I'm planning on catching up on everything tonight <333

I'm in love with my default icon right now.

That is all.

Note to self: Get new moodtheme. >.>

*dusts off journal!*

Uh. So, yeah. I went away to IJ for the part of the year that I wasn't here, but I'm planning on at least crossposting stuff more often.

So.

What better way to jump back into this journal than this, right? >.>

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!"
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

( Kiki's questions )

New layout. Can you tell I couldn't decide on ONE pic for the layout? >.> So far I'm okay with the change, but if not then I'll probably switch back to something else. But something is certain: It will most definitely be RDJ centered.

Subject: Robert Downey Jr.
Lyrics: Viva la Vida by Coldplay.

♥ :D

I don't believe in starting bullshit in people's journals/threads when that person has nothing to do with whatever my problem is, so I'll just say this in mine:

( I'm even cutting it, aren't you lucky. )

This started brewing in the wee hours of the morning and I kept myself from exploding because who the hell is rational at five in the morning? But now I've showered, eaten and gotten a bit of sleep, so this is how "rational" I am now.

I'm ranting in this post. I'm not promising to keep this "clean" (language wise), so please read at your own risk.

Oh, and this particular explosion has nothing to do with anyone I have friended here, and no one in the HP comms at all. If it offends you, the ones I have friended here? Then I apologize. But that's really the only apology I plan on making here, I think. The "you" is to the person who pissed me off in a way that I guess I'm hoping they'll read this? IDK. Something like that.

This is canon/fandom related. Because what else pisses me off lately, right?

( cut for...well, lots of stuff. )

I know that Remus has things to tag/respond to (<33 Anna Min), but since yesterday I have been having a horrible time in trying to really 'channel him' properly. I thought it was me being stressed with the homework I was finishing up last night, but I don't think it was. Whatever response I come up with for him, for anything, sounds completely ooc even in my head, and since I'm very picky when that sort of thing happens, for now I'm going to take a breather and let him rest. Or let myself rest, however you want to look at it. I mean, seriously, I tried writing ONE fic for Remus yesterday, got five different beginnings, and none of them were good enough. I just want to clarify that we're not ignoring those tags/posts, I just have Remus!block. Tonight he'll hopefully be better. *plays Remus!playlist on iPod to make him wake up*

Oh, and no nephew yet. That kid has seriously set his own schedule for everything so far, and he's not even born yet!

...there was more I was going to update with but my mind went blank. Sooo, I guess that's it for now. But anyway, my main point was that: Remus tags are coming. Promise.

My internet works again!

The modem from work didn't seem to like it here so we bought a new one. But now it's all installed and yay it works. :D

Things to do for this weekend:

- Watch The Inner Life of Martin Frost ASAP
- Crane's prompt for TM
- Remus prompt?
- check on other muses
- graphics?
- Marauders!mix
- ...oh yeah, homework ;)

and 'kay I have to run for now but I'll be back later. It's ridiculous just how HAPPY it makes me to know that my internet is working again. >.>

My internet connection is being spotty at best right now. Which is reminding me to bring the modem from work that I was supposed to bring on Tuesday but SIGH my memory sucks obviously. :/ I can log on the internet, and I am here, but the connection goes out every couple of minutes for up to five minutes at a time.

Basically? AIM seems doubtful tonight. I might even crash early anyway, so <333 I'll be back on AIM by tomorrow night, I hope. I'll write the reminder to bring the modem home on my hand and with a Sharpie if I have to. >.>

...me, internet addict? Gee, what gave me away? ;)

So what I mentioned in my last post, about the R/S explanation I did? It's done. I'm actually proud of it, too. :D

Okay logging off for a few hours and then catching up with everything I missed. That post took me forever to write, though, so I didn't have time for anything else. :X

I'm still up. I will probably be regretting this in the morning but D: I'm still up. My brother called me a few hours ago that he and his GF might be going to the hospital tonight because she's starting to feel contractions. First baby = her freaking out a lot lately. I haven't gotten any news, so I've no idea what happened. I've got to admit, that was the main reason why I didn't log on tonight; I figured that maaaaaaaybe she was going to start going into labor and we'd rush over to be there. 'cause the hospital where the kiddo is going to be born is less than ten minutes away from here, but... idk. >.>

So instead I just put together some songs for Remus to 'represent' the frame of mind he's in at the moment. Five more minutes left in the uploading. Woo. I left out...well, a lot of songs, but since it's not precisely a soundtrack yet, I think it's okay. Heh, it started with me trying to choose just one to post in his journal, and I kept adding them together, so...yay? ;)

Okay it's almost finished uploading. Now, I'm off to bed. <33 I'll be back later.

So I was reading an email today, and you know how in Gmail they tend to give you links relating to whatever it is the email is about judging by the keywords? (Well, mine does, at least...) This came up. I added the smilie because that's similar to how Remus was after being HORRIFIED. XD Ah, Gmail is so damn weird sometimes with those links.

Now, that soundtrack meme 'cause I'm curious to see what my iPod thinks it should be.

Life is a Soundtrack
Rules:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie.

( And onto the soundtrack! )

I just found this out so bare with me. Er...what? So we're not going to get to see the infirmary scene with Remus and Tonks either?? ACK I wanted to see how that would be portrayed! Unless they just cut out Fleur's part? ... Oi.

In other news (and I've already told a couple of you but I'm saying it again just for reference <3) my nephew's not born yet. They were able to stop the contractions, but judging from how close it was the doctor told them to be ready to go at any given moment. I'm still crossing my fingers for a March!baby, or at least a cusper and he can be more Pisces than Aquarius, but it's all just wait and see right now. :)

*goes back to work before jumping into character journals*

*points to icon* That is now my favorite picture of Thewlis. Just... Wow. That man pulls off B&W pictures AND turtlenecks remarkably well. As soon as I can toy around with the icon at home with the Photoshop "toys" I have there, I'll probably make it my default. 'cause...wow.

Okay never mind. While writing this I couldn't take my eyes off of it even without me toying with Photoshop toys, so yay? ;)

I have so many fic ideas rolling around in my head, it's ridiculous. Ha, and I have all those but when I try to write them they all go quiet. My muses are as random as I am, I swear. -_-

I have a bigger update coming with personal stuff (OMG SHOCK) but I'll do that later, 'cause it's going to be f-locked and all. :D

Oh, and another PSA? I <3 Hinder. Heh, my iPod seems to love them too, because it's on shuffle and this is the third song it plays this morning.

*goes back to admiring teh pretteh icon*

Harry Alastor running around in my head, posting and tagging and such? Always equals to me getting a bit hyper as well. I swear, that kid's energy is...contagious. His father just went to headdesk a little after this post. But Harry is still going *BEAMS*. That's my random fact of the day. ;)

Ha and I honestly and truly FAIL when it comes to me sitting down and doing homework. This weekend should be...fun. >.> At least the BF is going to be working nights both Friday and Saturday, and my parents are going to be out of town, so I'll be able to concentrate. ... Hopefully. Next week is going to be busy at school.

Oi, the weather around here is wonderful, FINALLY. It's kind of cold still, but nothing how it had been the past few days/weeks. There's no strong winds, no storms, no gray clouds... It's sunny, and the air is so crisp that it's just wonderful. I love the weather here at school when it's like this.

You know, I kind of prefer all the wind when it's stormy. When it's sunny and EXTREMELY windy it just seems...unfair for some reason.

A friend sent me a link to all_unwritten and, if you're interested in writing random drabbles every now and then just for exercise? That seems like a pretty good community for it. I have a small handful (...well, relatively speaking) of original characters and I think I'll use those prompts as writing exercises for them just to not lose their voices since the one I used to play them with isn't around anymore. :)

I have tons of reading to do today. Yesterday I didn't have enough time to do it, and by the end of the day I threw myself to RP-land so I could de-stress myself so today I'll need to do it. :X The book I'm supposed to finish and have a report for in one of my classes? Is due on the 22nd. I'm on the first chapter. >.> It seems interesting enough, at least, so that's good. There's a quote in it that I want to share but I'm at work (and pretending to be typing up a letter that I already finished yesterday XD) so I'll do it later.

Sigh is it Friday yet? x_x

...I need to make myself new icons. I'm not entirely happy with mine ATM. Haha, something else to add to my list-to-do. *g* Ah well. At least I know I won't give myself a chance to be bored. ;)

Haha I'm such a procrastinator. The only thing I managed to do from my list was...nothing. I did make an icon for myself *hearts Thewlis* and set up a layout for this journal (Heroes! but I might change the banner at some point if I get bored...) today, so I guess that counts for something, eh?

Oh, and I watched Juno over the weekend. It was a really good movie; the BF and I liked it a lot. I <3 the dry/sarcastic humor it had, and you end up really caring for the characters, and it was just a really good movie.

School starts tomorrow. Earlier I was excited, right now I'm just so very ARGH about it. Maybe my mood will change again later? Heh.

Sigh, back to work. It should really be the weekend all over again. Minus the rain and all. ;)

( That typing thing is addicting!! )

...yeah, I'm a dork. ;) In my defense, I had a class in middle school where I was taught how to type 'correctly' and quickly.

I really need to get started on fics I need to do. >.> I'll try to do that for as long as I can 'til the company we're having over for dinner comes over, I think.

Today the BF and I had our Christmas day since he works both the 24th and 25th, and is going with his family out of town. So he brought his presents over, and the ones that I got from his family.

I got the Heroes DVDs!

XD The BF didn't get the hint. But he did mention it to his dad, apparently, when he asked what I liked, and out of the things he mentioned he got me the first season. *G* YAY! I'm watching the first episode right now. He says his dad's gift outshines what he got me (a new messenger bag and a Hogwarts poster because he has noticed how THAT obsession heightened lately ;) ), and... Well, I won't say it. But c'mon, it's HEROES!

Okay, I'm heading out for a bit. Probably to watch an episode or two, and write at the same time 'cause I have fics to write.

Yay, Heroes!

I am honestly far too hyper for my own good. But the hyper!smilie rolls around like it's on crack, so I'll stick with bouncy.

Srsly, though. Hazelnut coffee + Coffee Mate Irish Cream = <3. It is NOT helping my coffee addiction but yum. Just. YUM.

Christmas is a few days away and I'm still not done shopping. I just need...four presents left, I think, but dude. I'm supposed to be done by now. And the presents I DO have are not even wrapped. -_- Oi. Oi, oi. I seem to procrastinate more and more as I grow older. I also need to write tons of fics, but the muses have been iffy until recently. So I'll try to get that done over the weekend, which I think I'll be able to do since I have ideas for all the ones I need to do. :D

...there was a purpose to this point. Honestly. I just... Forgot. If I find it later I'll post about it. >.> Meanwhile, I'll just leave a song that currently owns me and I constantly have on repeat.

( Well, the video from YouTube because I can't upload the song from work. )
