There's no way I can ever quit Criminal Minds when they keep churning out photos like this from the set:

This journal will be on a small summer hiatus for the next month or so, since there are so many things going on (only four days left of Madrid, omg), I'll be all over Finland, and time will be quite limited. I'll still be reading my flist, of course; God knows I couldn't possibly go cold turkey when it comes to LJ. Yes, I'm a LiveJournal-holic ( Read more... )

Berlin was ridiculously awesome; the weekend basically consisted of one history orgasm after another (Ishtar Gate! The history nerd in me wept). I really didn't want to leave so soon, although it was oddly disconcerting that everyone around me was speaking a language I knew next to nothing about (what I did learn, however, was what "ausgang" means ( Read more... )

Guess who's going skating tomorrow? Yes, it's been years since the last time I skated and I'm so chuffed about going again that I even have to mention it here. As a former Ringette player (I know, I'm such a stereotype), it's embarrassing that I don't whip out my skates that often anymore. Anyway, it'll be fantastic ( Read more... )

Yours truly. Going to Berlin. In January. Wah! Excitement. \o/

And speaking of matters of excitement, it's November 12, which means three things: 1) new Criminal Minds episode (we'll get to that in a minute), 2) my turn to present a dossier for a sociolinguistics course I'm taking (okay, not so much exciting as insanely headdesk-worthy), and 3) I' ( Read more... )

So my boss asked me last Saturday whether I'd like to work some extra shifts this week. Obviously, I immediately jumped at the chance (MONEY OMG), but working every single effing day of the week was hardly what I had in mind. I might just keel over before the week is over. Where's the hot security guard when you need her ( Read more... )

The other day, I realised that I've posted nearly 10,000 LJ comments since creating this account many, many years ago. And you thought I was kidding all those times when I said I have no life. But...ten thousand? That's simply insane, because the number of received comments is significantly lower. Fandom is responsible for everything!

I am back. \o/ The weekend was fantabulous, and I even found my way back to Finland eventually. Although, I was, once again, reminded that you really haven't lived until you've been on a bus in Wales; I love roller coasters, but even I felt queasy & all shaky on my legs when the bus finally got to Aberystwyth on Thursday morning ( Read more... )

So, the ceiling lamp in my room went *pop* the other day and I can't change it myself because of the screws & other lovely things. Such a blow to my butchiness, let me tell you. Anyway, I need to wait till Monday until I can report it, which is fine, since I can easily get by with my table lamp alone. Except that the light bulb of my table lamp ( Read more... )

I have a cold! \o/

Just my luck, really. I always get it when the first flu wave hits after the summer months. Fortunately, I didn't have any classes today, so I could simply stay at home coughing, sneezing and nursing countless cups of tea.

What's worse, the newest episode of Criminal Minds didn't appear online earlier as I'd assumed it would ( ( Read more... )
