Gossip Girl, meme and cookies
THANK YOU for the snowflake cookies! <3333333333 You are all lovely and I am sad that the cookie disappeared before I could reciprocate. :( *sends virtual invisible cookies instead*
I heard somewhere that the free cookie was a glitch and not an intentional present from LJ, which makes me sad. Is that why we are being punished now by not getting comment notifications??? :( Not nice, LJ, not nice! I want my comments!
Gossip Girl left me with mixed feelings, the first half of the episode made me want to punch things, and the second was kind of awesome, because there was some very deserved on screen punching and then the ending was insane!!
So, after a week of shacking up with Serena, Trip is bored?? I hate this storyline so much, who in their right mind would turn Nate down?????
I adore Jenny more, the meaner she gets, even if it makes little sense for her character, as she wanted to end the hierarchy a few episodes ago, but I guess power corrupts, besides she is no worse than Blair and Eric is being ridiculous, it’s not her fault Jonathan dumped him.
Wait, so Rufus, the proud guy who wouldn’t take money from Lily for Dan’s college fees is now a stay at home trophy husband, erm. Awkward
I am loving the little Dan/Nate bonding sessions.
Serena, drop the whiny act, it’s pathetic. Trip, lose the hat, seriously.
And also, how can he care about Serena over his career, that is creepy and crazy.
Ho-ho-homeless. Hi, Bart, hi! That is weird, but whatever, and Chuck isn’t thirty, Jesus.
And Serena, calling Nate to complain after breaking his heart, it’s not on. Poor Nate, he is really decent these days.
And Maureen is kind of awesome. “And you get…whatever you are getting…screwed I think they call it.” Zing! Hahahaha, yeah.
And I don’t believe Lily would suddenly up and cheat on Rufus even with Van Der Woodsen. But the letter was to Serena, so I wonder why he would send that to her. The whole thing is really weird.
So, I did think the new leaf perfect Chuck was a bit extreme, but a ghost!Bart making him mean again is just a little crazy, not to mention out of the blue.
Waaait a minute, please don’t tell me Jenny’s sudden cash flow is from her new status as a drug dealer? Surely she wouldn’t make that much from it that quickly?
Serena, YOU risked everything to be with Trip? Really? And what is everything exactly? Career? Um, no. Marriage? Um, no. You still even have Nate!!!!!
FUCKING HELL, TRIP, DID YOU REALLY LEAVE HER AND RUN?????????
God, I hate that it’s a car accident that is getting them all together, and yet I hope it is the wake up call Serena needs and I am so glad that they are all like a family, that Dan went to Blair and Chuck’s face when he heard actually almost made me tear up.
WAY TO GO NATE, GOD, I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE PUNCHED TRIP IN THE FACE. :D :D
I don’t understand what happened to him, Nate was right, he was the guy that jumped to save a drowning man without hesitation and now he is the biggest arsehole ever, and yeah that is actually realistic, after a week with Serena, the novelty is worn off and he has realised he is throwing his life away BUT he has the audacity of still wanting to see her???
Oh, Blair, I love that you are wearing a mismatched coat and scarf over your PJs!!
And Blair and Chuck <333333333333
And Jenny and Eric <333333333333333 (I hope this is for real)
And Dan and Vanessa?? Or not.
Aw, Rufus, talk to Lily before doing anything stupid, your daughter will not take lightly to being poor again.
And Serena, you do not deserve Nate’s awesomeness!
I guess I was right about the drugdealing. Jenny, what the hell are you thinking??
WHAT??? Was that really Chuck’s mother or just another hallucination??????
Meme time! loneraven asked me 5 interview questions and here are my answers (If you want questions, comment etc.)
1. What do you like about Habermas? :)
I <3 Critical Theory! (capital ‘C’ and ‘T’!) I am not going to babble about this, but he’s had enormous influence on people like Andrew Linklater, who has taken the centrality of Habermas’ theory of emancipation and applied it to international relations with pretty awesome conclusions.
2. Tell me about where you grew up.
I lived in Sofia until I was 12, which is the capital of Bulgaria and by far its biggest city and I had to take two buses to get to my school, which was right in the centre, a stone’s throw away from the parliament building. Most summers I spend with my grandparents in Burgas, which is on the black sea coast and one of my favourite places, with its two pedestrianised main streets, filled with cafes, shops and restaurant, street vendors selling a million flavours of ice cream and popcorn, its sandy beaches and the park by the sea. The summers in Sofia are sticky and dusty and empty, as everyone that can--leaves the city, the winters are cold, with temperatures that are often in the negative for weeks. It snows a lot, and it’s too cold for it to melt fully, but it turns into this horrible grey slush. Sofia is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, so on many weekends my family would go hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter. We lived in an apartment block on the outskirts of the city, so on one side there was an overgrown field, which was the home to about a dozen stray dogs, and also the shortest way to the nearest bus stop, fun times.
At the age of 12 my family moved to the UK, my mother had already lived here for a year when we all moved, because of her job, and we moved to Milton Keynes. Milton Keynes has a lot of roundabouts (Love Actually quote!), concrete cows, the longest shopping centre ever and an indoor ski slope.
3. What next, after the Masters?
Um, a job would be nice! It’s been three months of doing nothing and I am going a little insane and yet I still don’t know what I want. The FCO would be lovely. Ideally something in international relations, but definitely in politics, sadly I care little about the EU or the US, and will fail miserably at an academic career, so choices are limited. I don’t yet want to settle for something I don’t love, and I am not sure what I do love. This creates a problem.
4. What's your favourite silly sticky drink with umbrellas in?
When it comes to cocktails, nothing beats the classics. I knows mojitos don’t have umbrellas, but I do adore a good mojito, unfortunately few places make them. Mojitos aside, I like cocktails in martini glasses, strawberry Daiquiri, chocolate martini, cosmo… as well as creamy/chocolatey drinks with dirty names. And now I am craving a cocktail and totally failed to answer your question. Lets just say it’s a Mai Tai and leave it at that (and I kind of hope no one gets what this refers to)
5. What do you look for in romantic partners?
Physical attraction, intellectual compatibility, fundamental (moral, political etc) views about life sufficiently similar to mine and a willingness to express such views, some sort of artistic inclination would be nice… haha, this makes me seem so awful, it’s not like I have a check list or anything, or that I consciously look for these things in people/don’t make exceptions, but they are pretty important to me (to differing degrees)
