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

Am making baby-steps in getting all my prep for the start of term done ...and okay if I am QUITE honest I have yet do much yet but by food for this week, which is admittedly a very important thing too! And I paid for my internet! Ahhh ♥ Tomorrow will also be a meet-up with Carmen and maybe Karim somewhere in town, for lunch goodness and some catching-up, which I am already looking forward too. Also, everyone else I kinda talked to about this hasn't been very studious either, so I am feeling better. At least I have my naked!Men calendar to put in all my study dates now though ;Db A+ motivation, that!

And on a more giving note-- here be some mp3s that I've either ripped off YouTube or dled from FST(some seriously great ones this month!)

http://www.yousendit.com/download/LFPiCIx3kY95TA%3D%3D ...The girls choir Scala covering "Something New", originally by Eskobar ft. Heather Nova. LOOOVE this version!

(http://download.yousendit.com/B108FEBA49574A1F ...this be the aforementioned original! Tis actually a vid, but heck the file isnt that big and Windows Media Player usually glitches playing it so you only hear the music anyhow lol)

http://www.yousendit.com/download/LFPiCIA6BId5TA%3D%3D ...Mia.'s "Hungriges Herz", discovered first being butchered by someone at the Soho Karaoke bar and I looked for the orig on YouTube. I just really like Mia., I dunno :D The chorus is certainly hella catchy!

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4j0X1qWbc0&mode=related&search= ...this is how the Scala version sounds like! SO pretty eh?)

http://download.yousendit.com/64C4C40A0E0535BD ... M-flo "Planet earth/ram-jam world". This was just groovy listening during the train ride to Wienna. Ahhh fabulous <3 Recommended if you have to travel somewhere or just wanna chill~

http://download.yousendit.com/9C84079C7772D976 ...Mia Doi Todd "Autumn". Dled off a simply awesome SamCham Character FST a while ago and this is a beautiful song in it's own right, but if you think of Fuu in the last two eps of SamCham while listening to this song? GUUUUH .__. so fitting! And wistfull and ahhhh...

Happy dl-ing and Kat I hope this works for you more than me just posting the Youtube linkses that your net shuns?? :D?

"Is anybody here to play TENNIS?" Tezuka-buchou roared behind them. is an actual quote. Doesn't this already reveal the greatness that lies beyond that link. Also I realize that I am being annoying non-descriptive of the pairings. POTLUCK haah.

_ http://community.livejournal.com/santa_smex/11314.html#cutid1 ...Mhhh Inui/Tezuka fic ♥ Oh and I just love the pic of Tezuka that is the header thingie-- trenchcoats!

Although now is technically Boxing Day or Stefanitag or whatever right? Nonetheless, tis snow out and part of me is going eeeeeee! at that. Eventhough I have like, spent a total of no more than 20 minutes outside until now. Ahhah. Well. I assume that we'll be out skiing at some point though? Am looking forward to embarassing myself on the piste already though XDD

And as usual when I'm at my grandparents place I shall be on and off these next few days, but shall endeavour to be online as much as possible? Was already all twitchy this weekend and I think I read about all my epic Due South fics I have saved twice at least...
Have the pics ready to be uploaded to photobucket, and shall be posting em later in a bout of great spamminess, so haaah.


Had a suprisingly great X'mas present haul from all my relatives though, was positively suprised by that ♥:
_ 60 euros mobile phone top-ups (...lol Silvia knows my fatal weakness XDD)
_ 60 euros Supermarket giftvouchers (scooooore FOOD)
_ a pair o' cute silver earrings
_ stuffed dog!
_ warm socks (practical!)
_ loads of chocolates
_ a cookbook for meals under 2€ (...haaaah XDD)
_ book about Wienna
_ 70 euros bookshop voucher!

_ SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS PLAYING CARDSSSSSSSS ♥ ♥ ♥ (V understands the 8yr old in me lololol)

Ahh, holidays ♥

...man the eMac`s keyboard is weird.

Am on my second day in Swiiiitzerland now, having a v. fab time of it so far ...with the only cons being the fact THAT MY LAPTOP WON`T PLUG IN and I thus am running with about 29% battery power aaaand thus no awesome wireless surfing for me. Unless I buy an adapter, which I am totally tempted to actually. Also I still need to write 2 pages and send to Georg tonight about Comic Villians ....OOPS.

Soooo, unless I can otherwise ninja on, calling a HIATUS from eljay for a few days!




...gah I feel twitchy already... DDD:

IT WAS ZERO DEGREES TODAY. ZERO FUCKING DEGREES. And I had to brave the throng of other last minute shoppers at the Mariahilfer street, gooood why didn't I just get my ass out of bed during the week? But! Got some retarded kiddie music CD for Sara, a Paris-map satchel for La, wrapping paper, ribbon aaaand legwarmers for me to wear under my jeans because OMG COLD. ...went looking for the other half of what Kat requested but they seem to have JIMI HENDRIX calendars of all things, yet no US5 D: Duuude, whut. Shall check again with La in Swizzieland too then. Menno, that really annoyed me. Decided to get Opa and V's presents there too, arrgh last names to go!

Also discovered that I should probably cut down on the McD's since my stomach doesn't seem to be agreeing with it.(BUT I HAVE FREE COUPONS FOR APPLE PIE)... And actually I should probably just stop eating altogether, as I seem to be cursed ever since I made the mistake of reheating those damn burritos. CURSES. :/

Was overcome with the odd urge to plug in the old graphic tablet and faff about with Photoshop aswell when I came back and thus, I present the results!

( Hikaru no FASHION )

( This one's for you KAAAAT <3 )

( Something from last week )

Tomorrow will be the last gettogether of the year with Anja and Carmen and theeeeen I shall be nervously packing and chugging back cokes to STAY AWAKE until leaving for the airport on monday morning AKA 4.30AM WAKE UP aaah and if I come back from Anja's place at ten I DONT TRUST MYSELF TO WAKE UP IF I FALL ASLEEP aaaaaah... D:

Eventhough I did go to bed at three yesterday! Woke up before the alarm at quarter to nine even! Made it to STEP2 Tut early! But now, tis nearly midnight and I haven't done my damn Forschungsfragen for STEP3 yet. HOW I HATE YOU WALLNER, this really does bear repeating til the motherfucking cows come home, arrrrgh.


BUT!! The day was otherwise sheer AWESOME, all wham-bam thank you Ma'am hilarity, ahhh THURSDAYS ARE LOVE. After my manga presentation with Jenny that went okaaay I think (cons: I apparently talked too fast(confirmed by Georg aaaah I thought I got slower! Why don' t people ever tell me these things); possible unevenness re:knowledge of subject AKA Jenny was a newbie and holy heck you could smell it off her from miles ...she even missread "Osamu Tezuka" to "OSAMA" instead. I mean, ahahaha... >_>;; ; also possible TMI infodump. OOPS... aheh it should be over 90% percent though I hope? I thought we did better than the guys did with US comics, yet not so good as Phil's webcomic one that was just snappy and with pizzazz)
Went to what is basically our regular spot now after the Tut, Ye Olde Highlander Scottish Pub, got cozy in our tiny cubby-room-thingamajigg and ordered the usual Ciders and tuna(Fliiiiipper!!) bagel(=for Horst lol) and assorted cheeseburgers. Thus, the usual mix of funny anecdote trading commenced, reminiscing about inappropiate jokes and TV shows, this time with added picture-snapping as I had schlepped my camera along for said purpose. Got a ton of ooohing and ahhing at my cam too, hee, even at nearly two years old it still turns heads! Eee ♥ Made a bunch of pics that I'll be uploading tomorrow or so, ahh am getting so lazy with this XDD
After that we made our way back to the campus for some MORE alcohol consume(more or less the guys, I just drank one cider, am totally keeping with my budget here, booooyah!) --> GLÜÜÜÜHMOST! Which is extremely tasty and fabulous, was positively suprised. Another pro was that I paid nothing for two, as Florian and Georg both bought us all a round. Florian was very pimping today anhow-- bought his own gummibears(!normally my job hee) AND cigarettes too. Ohoho~
Georg also said that there were a bunch from the first group of the Tut (the 8 o'clock crew haah), but in the end only one girl showed up buuuut we ended up having a great time as always ...or at least until I had to leave for Soziologiiiiiiiiie at 3, waaah D:
And we have totally progressed to hugging goodbye ...or at least with Florian, which is cool. How I long for some dudes to just platonically smack and poke like Frankieeee and Migel~


...I WILL NOT SEE THESE DUDES UNTIL JAN, WOE. (okay I'll at least still see Astrid tomorrow yay fellow STEP3 sufferer!)

Oh and after Soziologiiiiie was another Punschen, this time with Carmen's STEP 2 Tut, also really nice people(I like mine more tho lolol) aaand the damn tastiest Beerenpunsch in what seems to be the whole of the Xmas bazaars I've frequented so far. GO SPITTELBERG GO! And it is alarming to see that 70% of the stuff they are selling as Ramsch and trinkets is crap that you can get assloads cheaper in BKK. THEY HAD THE WOODEN NUT BUG toys FOR 2 EUROS .... 100 baht!! What the heeell >_>;; Pretty pretty lights here too though~



PS TWAS SO COLD TONIGHT. 4 DEGREES aaaaah and sinking D:
PPS ...still dun wanna do STEP3 ahhhhhhhhh

..well it's safe to say that I feel a lot better now re: my superb financial management fuck-up skills. Haven't heard from Dad nor Krimml relatives yet and getting to talk to Ma and having her be not!angry and really quite supportive helped. And ahh everyones comments that I have to get to after this post, I was actually kinda teary-eyed when I read some late last night, curse my shallow tear-ducts...^^

Will be putting together a precise expense/cost overview template later that should uh, prevent this from happening again. Why does Europe have to be so expensive, it boggles the mind >___>;;


Spent yesterday and today in distracto-modus with Carmen, today we went only window-shopping to check out the Donauzentrum Complex(CRAP, but I only spent 1 euro on a McD's coke haah!)on the other side of the river, went back to the inner-city and walked around the Stefansplatz(beautiful lighting), checking out all the overpriced Parfumeries and clothing shops ... I mean, who the hell would pay 200 euro for perfume? And we ended up at the Marie-Theresien Christmas Bazaar, full of tourists and later full of cold and biting rain. Oh how it was cold. To think that we were earlier remarking on how oddly warm it was... Dinner was in the next best roofed restaurant we could find, the illustrious 'Wienerwald'(saddling to space between the austrian KFC and an actual restaurant)... I actually got more than my money's worth as I had my 2 euro soup and half of Carmen's chicken wings that she couldn't finish. Haah, a winner is me?
So a day's entertainment to the grand sum of 3 euros ain't that bad right? And tomorrow is going to be uh, cookie baking at Anja's place which is a free-of-charge event~

Ahh :)

(Oh and the movie watched yesterday was 'The Departed' which was a tour-de-force of awesome. I was blown away and on the edge of my seat with suspense for the better part of it, ahh and they actually did a more than decent job on the german dub voices too. Though it must go against some unwritten rule in the universe anyhow, giving Jack Nicholson a sub-par dub voice... I highly reccomend it! (we had a discount card so I didnt feel so bad about going to watch it? ...would've been moping in my room the whole time otherwise haaah... Frankie gave me a suprise call though, quite lovely and unexpected of him ♥))

Gnaaargh how the day passes by so quickly! And me with all my unsorted thoughts and thingamajigs I wanted to post, posts to reply to (KAAAAAT I shall get back to youuu twofold! but um not noww DD:) ...ahh some can wait for tomorrow/coherancy I say!
But some assorted things first~

( When in doubt, make lists! )

Another thing that has been rocking my boat recently is another Ryuuken/Rikuou CFUD (smut) AU ...They moved up from 'just' kissing, guh so HOT (and IC!!!11). Man I swear if they ever move up to fullblown sex I shall possibly make bats deaf with my gleeful squeaking eeeeeeee-noises ♥ ♥

`Twas quite a lovely reward after dealing with the constant assery that is getting ones laundry done here(bedsheets, double wargh!) ... I mean, have finally figured out the key to getting the washmachines to work is to just stubbornly keep pressing the ON button til the damn thing decides to get it's ass into gear(was srsly poking it for 5 or more mins, v melodious 'beepbeepbeepBEEPBEEEPMOTHERFUCKINBEEEPbeep beep KACHING ...fucking finally!!' etc etc), but this time the dryer decided to uh, not actually do it's job 100%, so now I have about six shirts hanging around out tiny cramped bathroom and my jeans crammed over my heater on high--- very ghetto dryer of me, yessh I know >_>;;

Oh and I got to eat Sabrina's quite tasty leftovers(some kinda rice and curry thing with coconut milk and prawns, ahhh the flavours of Asiaa), quite right actually, since she kinda used MY POT to cook it in... Tcha, my pot is just that awesome~

Shall post some pics and be all reply-y later ...*checks watch* in the morning lolol

Like, actually getting work done before 10PM for a change, especially since I'll be needing to get up and about by 8AM so that I can HEAD OVER THE FUCKING RIVER to try and get those damn books and head back in time for STEP3 in the PKW-Institute at 12AM. Sounds like plenty of time, but there will be asstastic suck factors like a)where precisely is this magical library?(website was v unhelpful grr) ; b)how long does it take to get to Floridsdorf and most importantly c)WILL I BE ABLE TO TAKE THIS CRAP HOME? ...and I bet some are only for the weekend aka the whole shebang journey on monday and the next friday since I won't be able to finish reading all three 200+ page books GAWRSH, rinse and repeat DIE DIE DIE.

Fucking literature research :/

Ooootherwise Thursday was enjoyable as always and I am full of fuzzy joy for STEP2 Tut and the places we go afterwards to chill and talk ♥ Ahhh this is what uni life should consistently be like!



Aaaand I made first steps in relative X-mas presents, blew 10 euros on an impulse buy for Cousin Robert(REM LP ...that he better not already have dammit I hope!) and I sent off the start for Oma's super special pressie.
Ain't much more embarrassing than handing an envelope addressed to the 'Hansi Hinterseer Fanclub' to the post lady ...XD (My master plan=as per website sending an adressed and already paid for reply envelope with the mail means that I will hopefully have my hands on an 'authentic' austrian folk song HERO of all little old ladies and housewives everywhere autographed card soon. SOOON! >_>;;)

OFF TO kinda WORK NOW!

(just a quick one, as I have to be awake in 5 hours lol)

...I never thought I'd say this given the movie and the new actor but:
HOLY SHIT SO HOT

BEST FUCKING BOND MOVIE EVER. From the starting credits, to the opening scene(THE CHASE SCENES. RUN BITCH RUN ♥!!) and the rest of the whole shebang. This 'new' Bond(or actually the old Bond, as the movie is chronologically THE first Bond movie ever) is still a cocky-ass bastard(none of the slick debonair charm yet), ooh so snarky and HOT. Daaaaamn, Daniel Craig really blew me away in this movie, the man OOZES charisma. For all that he's not so good-looking at first in the pictures...you really gotta see him moving about and in action for it to really hit you. ALSO: BUFF and toned bod and killer baby blue eyes. Mmmmh~ ♥
And it was frequently laugh out loud hilarious, something I can't remember the other ones being (at least not on purpose lol) The Martini line! Hee~

Definately purchasing the DVD for this one!

(Went for a drink and some chatting later with Marie and am now 'fully booked' this weekend(Christmas bazaaaars~) haaah and here I was wanting to save some money XDD STUDY? WHAT STUDY? lolol)
