There is also this other meme that keeps popping up on my flist

You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.
( things you probably already know, but whatever :) )

Let's start with a laugh, yes?



*hasn't stopped laughing since this afternoon*

A-hem... So, I've been kinda busy with uni these past two weeks, but since most of my courses ended last Friday, I should be somewhat more active in the future :D (too bad one of those courses was children lit. :[).
Oh. Interesting fact: I found out that History makes me emotional. At first I thought it was only when the prof talked about the Constitution, but then we moved on and started discussing about colonialism and imperialism and the ideology behind them and their consequences and I teared up anyway. I thought I had mastered the I-won't-let-reality-touch-me attitude back in highschool. Apparently, not so much.

On a happier note, I'm starting to get an idea of what I want to do for my thesis \o/ I talked about it with my parents (mum:"Cool! And you could tie that up with this other thing! And also this other one! :DDD"; dad:"Uh. Uh. Here, LET ME GIVE YOU SOME TONS OF MATERIAL YOU CAN WORK WITH!" *drowns me under a pile of meterial*. &them;) and with a friend of ours who is also a professor (her face: :DDD), so I'm kind of not stressed about it as much I thought I would be.

Hey, you want to laugh some more? I found a couple of picture of Lara and I goofing with this year carved pumpkin :D
( Our heads are hollow... )

We spent this past weekend helping one of my aunt move. Actually, she moved to the apartament above the one she had been living in till last Sunday (which also happened to be my grandparents' second house. So we had to empty that one first and then bring my aunt's stuff in. It was a sad affair because half of the things there were my grandma's). She lives in Rocca di Papa, a pretty nice place ( as you can see :) )

Anyway. My plans for next week are: catching up with Merlin (I'm so terribly behind D:), tidy up my curtainfic prompt and send it over (because you can never send things too early!), draw something to bribe devilswhore_x with (you have received my email, right?) and come up with something other than housemaid!Brendon/count!Spencer because of course that is not a valid pairing for the Girl Challenge over at rarebandom (do suggest, flist!), buy more yarn, knit more hats, stop listening to Norah Jones on loop (yes, that's a link to dl her latest album), study (ahahahah), tick off some of the things on my to-draw list that keeps getting longer...

In conclusion



I am in love :)

This is for those of you who never got a chance to Trick or Treat, or who grew out of it before your time, or for everyone who has an unnatural affinity for extortion...

So, in the words of the creepy dude on your street who gets his mail in his boxers and robe, "Give me a trick, I'll give you a treat, baby *winkwinknudgenudge*"

Please feel free to put this up in your LJ to invite trick or treaters to your own door. Treats can be anything that strikes your fancy (pics of fave actors, one sentence fics, a few words why you're glad to have them on your flist, etc. etc.). The more "houses" to visit the more fun it'll be, so spread the fun!

...Go wild! I'm up for anything! Doodles, faily drabbles, impromptu picspams, you name it :D (and I have nothing planned for tonight apart the halloween movie marathon on TV - Corpse Bride, Alien vs Monsters, The Haunted Mansion - yes, I'm Lamey McLame so you can be sure that I'll deliver everything you'll ask me :)

Ok, nobody complained for the music dump last week so here, have fun:

The Academy is... - I'm Yours Tonight

Paramore - Brand New Eyes

And my favourite this week, Kings of Convenience - Declaration of Dependence
(How I love this band! "Riot on an Empty Street" was the first album I spent money on :) Ah, the memories...) (Also, if you want their other albums, just tell me and I'll upload them ;])

Oh, hey. You know what's really exciting? MERLIN IS BACK! I've been flailing via e-mail at toodelicious like a spaz. If you haven't watched the first episode yet, GO WATCH IT NOW! OMG! There's jealous!Merlin! And Gaius must have spoken to the slash dragon! And oh the slashiness! I promise you'll love it to pieces (and then come back here so we can flail all together \o/)

RL is kind of boring. I've watched Bambi twice this past week, and I've been trying to find an .avi file of the second one... Bambi II is the only sequel/midquel that's worth watching. I cry harder with it that with the original. Yes, I know I am a total lamer. No, I am not ashamed. How could I when it has gems like ( this: )
(devilswhore_x, we need to seriously discuss this au thingie. I just realized that Brendon is not Bambi, he is Faline!)

So, other than Disney-related entertainment, I've done pretty much nothing apart from sketching things for random competitions (not the FOB one, I don't think I could pull it off), poking WASP (now at the glorious total of 4000+ words of unrelated bits and pieces and no end in sight. Ah ah ah. /o\) and playing Tap Tap Revenge on Katiephone (that game is addicting! I scored 100% on ABC \o/).

What about you flist?
