I’ve been meaning to post this for a while, just for one reason or another, haven’t gotten to it before now! So without further ado, in no particular order, the Things That Have Made Me Happy Recently list:

Real life.
1) MY FATHER’S GONE FOR A WEEK, WOOHOO! He’s off on a business trip to the Middle East, flitting from Dubai to Abu Dhabi to other

Watched the vid (because, oddly enough, I was listening to Florence + The Machine on my way home from work) and I had absolutely no idea what was going on :P Is that the Madoka show you were talking about?

Gah, I have to catch up with Merlin! Morganna's gone total badass, hasn't she?

Oh also, you have to take a pic of that dress! I LOOOOOOOVE green clothes!!

[borg_princess]

LOL. Yeah, I was pretty sure nobody would get what was going on if they hadn't seen the show, but it's just so shiny and purty and just really great matching of lyrics to action and all...ILU for watching it, though, even if it baffled you!

I'm going to do a post squeeing about it soon, but basically, it's about girls being offered the chance to get a wish granted, as long as they become 'mahou shoujou', magical girls, and fight witches, who are these trippy, mind-warping beings (the weirder bits in the vid would be these representations of the 'witches'), and they kinda root in certain areas and cause misery and suffering and like, convince people to commit suicide and such.

I'm not usually into animes, but the thing that sucked me in was how it was all cutesy and 'aww, girls in adorable outfits!'

[sapphs]

Ok, that sounds... REALLY FREAKING COOL. AND THAT CHICK HAS A GUN. But, explain to me what is happening in that first .gif? She's transforming or something? That cute gorgeous creature is a bad guy? Look at him! He couldn't hurt a fly! He's all *wriggles and looks cute*.

Gaius always pissed me off. Such a self-riotious bastard. He helped destroy magic in the kingdom and now he's helping Merlin discover his magic and sheltering him? What a HYPOCRITE!

[borg_princess]

YESSSSS. She's so badass, I love her!

Uh-huh, it's a standard thing in the magical girl genre, chicks transform from their school uniform into snazzy fighting outfits!

[borg_princess]

do you still love me?

Forever and a day, my darling! I'm not gonna hold delayed commenting against you, you're usually most prompt and if not, quite verbose. *snuggles* I've been less than stellar in the commenting dept myself, so I ain't throwing stones, lol.

That's awesome! WHERE ARE TEH PICTURES I AM DISAPPOINT.

LOL, I didn't think this one dress would cause so much interest! I'll have to post a pic next time- but it's attained such mythic status, I think people might be let down after it's been built up so much!

That is AWESOME.
Hey I'd display a TG one proudly!

Hee, makes me feel good! :D
Aww, I wish they made TG ones, I'd know what to get you for Christmas. *sigh* WHY ARE YOU SO HARD TO BUY FOR?

I love the "I sit and ponder" Emma Watson icon. ♥

They're all so pretty! I have to make room for them soon, damn it. I hate deleting icons but I haven't used some in so long. *hardens heart*

I wish for a happy ending for that show you like that I have never heard of

[afigureofspeech]

I haven't watched Madoka, but I've heard enough about it that I'm intrigued. Maybe I'll get around to watching it this summer. The vid was very pretty. :) As always, I love that song.

I hear Merlin has a tendency to break people's hearts.

[borg_princess]

Cool, I hope you do and that you like it. ^_^ I adore that vid so much, and I'm a person who sometimes gets sucked into things if I see pretty fanvids, so I was hoping it might work on others, hehe. If it's a well-made vid to F+tM, well, I figure someone's gotta bite! She has the most EPIC SONGS, I can't even. she made me not hate/semi-tolerate/almost like Twilight, omg, so insidious

YES. Don't watch Merlin. Unless you can tolerate the hero supporting and looking after a tyrant who kills innocent people. And condemn the people trying to take him down and kill them and be all judgmental about it. UGH.

Don't even get me started on the ships on this show either. *head!splodes*

Also, your icon is so pretty! I keep thinking it's Florence- OMG, I just looked at your userpics and it IS her! But it didn't seem like something she'd be doing? Is that from a music vid or meeting random fans or what? I thought it was all old-fashioned and like from The Borgias or something, lol!

[afigureofspeech]

Lol well-done fanvids can be really stunning, I have a few favs that I love watching just because they're so pretty. :) Florence + the Machine is particularly amazing, her lyrics are so beautiful and applicable to so many situations. I don't think even she can make Twilight much more tolerable for me though, even if it is a pretty badass song

Yeah, I've really avoided Merlin. Well, I've read some fun fanfic. But otherwise I stick to other shows. Unfortunately, Camelot was pretty disappointing as well. :( Lol and shipping, always the point of contention! I have no particular reason for this, but I was always inclined towards Arthur/Morgana for Merlin. That I heard how butchered it got S2 did not make me more inclined to watching...

I cannot even tell you how much I love this icon. x) It's actually from behind the scenes of her video shoot for Rabbit Heart. The vid's pretty gorgeous, scenery and costume-wise. :)

[borg_princess]

OMG, I don't know how I lived prior to hearing F+tM, I adore songs that have universal appeal and applicability and can mean different things to so many different people and be so intimate and meaningful across a variety of personalities and situations. That's such a gift, to be able to reach people like that.

Haha, I will refrain from linking you to those Twilight vids, then, because OMG, I was the hugest anti back in the day and now I'm more indulgent of the series. *facepalm* Because of the power of Cosmic Love! There's this theory where you can't hold two opposing views/emotions at the same time- so there I was, watching the vid, filled with SO MUCH LOVE for the song and DISDAAAAIIIIN for Bella and Edward, and the song love won out and thus, my hatred was diminished. It's not that I was weak, it's science, okay?! :P

[kat_rowe]

yay, father!freedom ftw *hugs you* enjoy your week of freedom :)

your cousin sounds epic and sweet

mmm, reeses... *drools*

i just love your snape and snape/hermione fixations. alas, I'm very firmly into hermione/magnus territory these days. I've even threaded it (don't ask. just don't... it was late, we were both tired, punchy, and in need of incredibly hot femslash involving wands -- no, not for THAT, ewwww. the wand was for the levitation spell, starting the enchanted fire, and conjuring this really hawt silver smoke stuff that... *runs off for a quick cold shower* did I mention i was sleep-deprived and on painkillers? yeah... *squirms guiltily*)

*scampers off before she can humiliate herself worse*

[borg_princess]

I have, I did! And now it's overrrr. *sads* Still, he's gone for a month in July! *anticipates eagerly*

IKR? She's the best, for real. I wish we got to spend more time together, but oh well, a few days like this a year should do me fine. ^_^

Reeses are so awesome! I wish they weren't so hard to get here. *sigh*

i just love your snape and snape/hermione fixations

HEE, thanks, that's sweet, I'm glad my fangirlishness is endearing. *snuggles you*

Haha, don't feel guilty! I totally get the Hermione/Magnus appeal, 'tis a great crossover ship! I could see that happening. ^_^

*pounces on you and holds you tight so you can't flee* :D

[kat_rowe]

yay, a whole month sans him :) *snuggles you*

absence makes the heart grow fonder. I certainly find I get along better with my sisters when I see them a couple times a year rather than all the time ;p

is it hard to get them there? *pets you* that's too bad. granted, they're as calorie-packed as all shit, but they're definitely yummy

your fanishness is very endearing *snuggles more*

in my head cannon, Hermione had a summer internship with the Sanctuary and, during that time, she and Ron parted ways (he's kind of inconstant and known to simply flee rough situations, so i can totally see him breaking it off with her overseas). Magnus, naturally, offers her newest protege tea and sympathy, and things develop from there. Hermione is, of course, both nervous and bold and Magnus is her loving, teacherly self *fans self*

gah! not too tight! my painkillers just started working for the day and I can't take another dose for hours *snuggles gently, then turns you into a human body pillow*

[borg_princess]

Totes excited for this July, ngl!

Yeah, when he was away in Tasmania and rang up a few times, we had much nicer convos long-distance. It was so much better than in person, lol. Obv the best thing for our relationship is for me to be far, far away.

They're tough to track down here, and when you do, they're really expensive. I'm not sure how much it is overseas, but I'm not paying $5 for two Reese's, y'know?

he's kind of inconstant and known to simply flee rough situations, so i can totally see him breaking it off with her overseas

This is my head!canon for Hermione and Ron breaking up. I see it happening when she goes to Australia to restore her parents' memories. He gets frustrated that she's left, she needs to work on rebuilding her relationship with her parents after that massive breach of trust, and while she's gone, he moves on.

Lol! I'll be your human body pillow any time, bb! *smooch*

[ecchipiro]

Woohoo, free time! \o/

Is that you on the pic? If so, DAMN! You're pretty! ♥
Fangirl away. I'm a terrible fangirl myself. Haha!

Ah, I'm not going to watch that video cause I might watch that series, too. A few people on my f-list are in love with it. XD

[borg_princess]

I'm so thrilled! He went for two one-week trips to Tasmania, and now this massive one overseas? Please to be sending him off more, work! :D
