Ninjas STILL can't catch you if you're on fire

Slight progress is also progress, amirite? Failed at getting my cover letters done today, yet managed to send off two applications that didn't need any, so that is a mark in the WIN column. One was one of my favorite ad agencies in Vienna (Draft FCB Kobza, one of their higher-ups actually came to do a guest presentation in one of my WERB ATs, ahhh) and the other was this TUI Travel PLC International Management Trainee thing. Again, the latter is probably one of these fantasy goals a la the SONY EGP, but it never hurts to try! Just reading their program description of all the travel involved makes me kind of excited, ngl.

I did manage to leave the rooms to go drop off that last batch of mail, do some grocery shopping (and treat myself to an utterly delish Kümmelbratensemmel ahhhhh ♥) as well as bite the bullet in getting rid of my old uni notebooks and photocopied study material. It always takes me a while to work myself up to these things, hoarder that I am. Not to say that I didn't flip through everything to look for doodles that I wanted to save (since all my notebooks ended up as sketchbooks, lol I never stood a chance what with my notetaking fail starting with like my second uni lecture ever XDD). It was a bit depressing to read through most of my study notes and not really remember much of what was covered in the classes though, whoops. Still have a shitload of clutter and things that I guess I don't necessarily need, but I guess I'll have to slowly work myself up to purging some things, too. Lol Olga, do you know people who want some cookbooks? WOULD YOU LIKE SOME?? XDD

Oh and speaking of which, here are my meme answers that you tagged me with:
A. List ten habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag ten people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."

1) I literally flinch, turn away and have to close my eyes at even the slightest hint of people doing things to their noses like making piggy snouts or pressing it up again window-panes and etc. I AM TWITCHING IN DISCOMFORT just typing this skjfhaj it grosses me out so much DD:
2) I can listen to the same song on a loop for hours on end, but will still never be able to tell you the complete lyrics to it.
3) One of my favorite things to do is just comb my hair after it has been freshly washed, conditioned and blow-dried. The simple pleasures of vanity lol.
4) There is no current superior sweet sandwich filling atm to me than Carmen's Mom's Jam (blueberry & rum) + Ovomaltine chocolate creme.
5) I always miss being able to lean on or otherwise be touchy-feely and cling on my parents when I am not home, I don't care how old and mature I am supposed to be now.
6) I never seem to be able to come up with satisfying OCs, so one day I will totally snap and just draw gijinka versions of our cats & dogs and use their random anecdotes as plot
7) Sometimes I think I just want a boyfriend mainly so that I can fully live out my hairtouching fetish. Other stuff is of course also appealing, but the hair.
8) When I tend to extremes, I always lean towards too much than too little of a good thing. It's been a project trying to reel this urge back, but I sometimes succeed in not going overboard.
9) I seriously do not think that I will ever be able to do a forward roll. Pigs will fly and ice-skate in hell before I try it ever again.
10) My love for Salami-pralines/mini salamis/Jean Caby's Croc'Sec cannot be adequately rendered in textual form.
...I TAG laulan, mcollinknight and the rest of the spamthread ladies, gwy and WHOEVER WANTS TO DO IT :Db

My days here since Saturday evening have been lethargic and unproductive in RL-terms, though I just finished updating of my icons and did spend Sunday having delicious cookery funtimes with Miss Olga again (mmmh rice with tiny veggie bits, turkey breast and tomato sauce). NEXT TIME: Pictorial evidence! Not that it ends up like October 2009 again-- a month of awesome and being social, but with no pics to back it up lol. But! Carmen is also back today, and I was so excited to see her agaaaaaaain, and also welcome the fact that her presence means I get off my ass and do things like a normal, productive person. She brought me more homemade jam from her mom (plum and cinnamon this time ♥, am still having the best sandwiches ever with the blueberry, rum and vanilla one I got in December when Ines came) and some homemade cookies, too! Delightful ones dipped in chocolate with a walnut and orange marmalade filling and super cinnamon-y cinnamon stars with delicious icing. IT ALL SMELLS SO DAMN GOOD, I could happily just sit here and huff the bag like some crazy addict :D

One of the minor, but personally important things I need to focus on is getting my sleeping patterns back to normal again-- have fallen back to my first year at uni levels of bad habits. 4AM bedtimes and regaining consciousness at 11AM is not a good thing, and the rings under my eyes are approaching panda territory :/ I've managed to dial it back to 3AM last night though, and plan on going to bed at 2.30AM today. Slow increments! THE INTERNET BETTER NOT SUDDENLY BECOME INTERESTING NOW, OKAY.

Also, I managed to drag myself downstairs to check my mail (was too lazy before, for the usual stupid reasons) and lo and behold my mailbox held two glorious treasures:
TREASURE ONE: rainrockstar, thank you so much for the super cute gingerbread-men card! Their wee buttons!And I must say that I am tremendously jealous of your handwriting-- it look so classy and stylish!

TREASURE TWO: nebst, THE PACKAGE CAME!! OH MY GOD ♥. Thanks a milliooooooon, eee! I am super exited to try out the imps now, and have decided to start tomorrow when I am actually gonna be leaving the house and not just lounging 'round in my PJs all day. I just keep opening the little sachets and sniffing them happily :DD. I'll just email you after this post for your German address, eh? My bad for not sending my package off earlier, ahhh.

OH AND HERE BE: another year end meme stolen from mcollinknight
( MMH DELICIOUS WALL OF TEXT. I am so not done with recapping '09 yet lol )

I HAVE FINISHED MY LAST EXAM TODAY AND IF I END UP PASSING THAT AND BOTH OF THE PREVIOUS TWO I WROTE LAST WEEK, THAT WILL MEAN THAT I HAVE COMPLETED MY LAST EXAM FOR MY MAJOR!!
It was a horrible and dreadful exam though, and our mental state could have been best summed up by this pic: TRU FAX.

( Cut for BAWWW EXAM BAWWWW )

And now for something else that will make me type a lot! A 5 questions meme from sirdrakesheir~ Just comment if you guys want me to attempt to formulate some half decent questions for you too, eh?
( THINGS YOU NEVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ME?? IDK well there are at least some music links beyond the cut... )

Man you guys are gonna be SO SICK OF ME BLATHERING after these posts 8D 8D 8D

( Questions and Answers LURK BEYOND *danananaaaaaaaa* )

One last thing before I go to bed (finally)-- a good ol' fashioned MEME!

What would you like to ask me? What would you like me to write/blog about? Bring on the random questions, people, I am mostly up for anything XDD.

...and okay, wait I feel bad posting such a short post, so have some vids I have been OOOH-ing and AHH-ing at lately:
'You Make Me Wanna: A Tony and Maxxie AU'(SKINS) by obsessive24. OLGA I THINK THIS IS RELEVANT TO OUR INTERESTS :DD

'Soul of a Man' (SPN) by off_that_bridge. I just love the usage of black and white in this vid, how it ties into the beat of the song AND DEAN AND CASTIEL, GOD.

'Man in the Box' (House MD) by bradcpu. This guy made the creepily awesome Firefly vid 'Tear You Apart', so it's not surprise this is a stunning vid that manages to be creepy, cool and technically brilliant at the same time. AHH.


PS KAT WANN BIST DU WIEDER DAAAAA i miss you already darling ;___;

Man, I really wish La and Angie would be more obsessively addicted to the internet and refreshing their email like yours truly, because there are currently 1€ airberlin flights to München and back and it would be a hella sweet way to travel, especially versus the 4 hours traaaaaaaaaain BUT I need their input that the dates for our March 2009 meet-up are fix. ARGH. I really hope I'll hear from them tomorrow and that the flights will still be 1€=60€ plus taxes etc etc... *CROSSES FINGERS* ALSO: gwy, kann sein dass ich ein batzen früher bzw. länger dann in München bleiben werde, könnten uns ja dann auf delicious fooooood etc mal treffen dann oder?? :DD?

Yesterday was a combination of being really studious and actually getting some uni work done at the uni library with Carmen, and later going to see Joachim's band play a gig. So of course the usual suspects were all there (even if Lis&Nathalie and Harry all came waaaay later) and ohoho how amusing the feeling of a ~*friendship cold war*~ is.
( TBC under the cut to spare the uninterested lol )

ALSO--stolen from RINRINRIN, the following meme: Pick any aspect of my life you're curious about, and tell me to take a picture of it. My room, my car, my closet, the toilet, the fridge, you name it, I'll probably take a picture of it. (And lol feel free to make multiple choices, as I might as well take a few pics while I'm at it)

I AM: Tired! Achy-in-the-brain! Breaking out and looking like crap! Vaguely stressed out due to looming exams! THEO+KPOL on friday with half an hour between them, P+L midterm on thursday, Entwicklungs Psych I the following monday. And sundry uni things to do in the meantime! D-DOOM

ALSO: I kind of want this tee-shirt. And this one.
Who needs to play Dirge of Cerberus when you can have awesome reviews/spoofs/snide and utterly justified commentary like this?!. I hope this picture will succeed in freaking out tutor Georg. Even HP can be improved upon by pictures of awesome SENTAIIII action!

IN OTHER NEWS: I am now going to bed, as my superlong comment to Kat was of course eaten by LJ demons, and no amount of frantic refreshing would save it. OVER HALF AN HOUR of carefully selected squeeful fangirlism, lost in the ethers of the internet, tschaaa ;3; So I will not further tempt the fickle gods of the 'net by posting too much.

Ahahaha, I am an unrepentant GIRRRRL oh noes! But I guess if they asked stuff like 'Do you swear like a sailor' or 'Do you enjoy ACTION MOVIES (seriously, why just the gory ones??)' the scores would've been more dude-skewed than they are now~

Woaaah, I actually got tagged on one of these things (thanks Mone :P)! I remember filling this out as an email fwd AGES ago, haaah wonder how much my answers would have been different... XDD

( THREE THINGS MEME, Shaz style! )

IN OTHER NEWS I feel cranky and vaguely dissatisfied with about everything ever. YAY FOR BEING AFFECTED BY SHITTY WEATHER :/

Also- Olga, if you want, feel free to think of yourself as tagged, too! ;DDb

Numero UNO: "The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi" is an awesome anime. I do not now what it says about how long I've actually been in anime fandom that the crack in it hardly phases me anymore, heeh. Kyon is just hilarious and bitchy, poor booya XDD As for Ms. Haruhi herself? Well she's certainly one of the more memorable and kickass heroines of late~
And the ED should be illegal as for how damn catchy it is!

Numero DOS: I need to rack up the pic count in my cam before I can deem it worth the blank CD to burn the pics to when I eventually connect it to the computer. SO~! I guess this'd be what one calls a 'picmeme'? Give me random things that I should photograph! Food? The mess that is my room? Random anime/manga merchandise? The dog acting retarded? The idyllic countyside beauty of our 'up-county' abode? HIT ME BABY :DD

Numero PEE.ESS: ...there are people in this season of Academy Fantasia that can actually SING! Holy shiiit~ V12(Tui) and V2(Pett)! Best of luck to you guys I guess... and whuut this must ve been a rerun I thought that Bruna got booted off already. but she does sing well, haaah wonder why they voted her off


noooow, off to wait for "TMoSH" ep 10 to finish loading!
