Massive update - Oh I missed you LJ
# School
YAY! 3 exams out of 4 done. Now I just need to survive until July 13th to do the oral. And then I'm officially ready to become a university freshwoman! I've got an English test on September 1st and if I pass that, I'll be in! *_*
Naturally I'm trying out with other tests, hoping I get in in at least one university! And if I don't, well, I'll have to search for a free-signing university, and I so have no clue of which city I should pick! Any advices, Italian members of my f-list?
# Memes
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.
jate92picked these for me...
Doctor Who | Tenth Doctor byelleaime
I'm quite sure I added this userpic right after the Christmas special "The Next Doctor", and though I've got plenty of icons with Ten saved on my HD, this is the one that I prefer, cause it totally expresses the Doctor's emo side :D It's a very sad icon, the Doctor's surrounded by darkness and he's alone, just like he's destined to be, at least until he meets another valuable companion...
Heroes | Sylar/Elle bymata090680
Also, thanks togaspilycause I've first seen it among her userpics and I stole it :P Well, there's nothing to say, my OTP fucking rocks and I thought this was a good icon to show it. I love the grey tones, it makes them appear as protagonists of an ancient story, it gives them a sort of epical touch... right? Or am I just delirious? It's just that I love everything as long as they are in it!
Lost | Jack Shephard bysuzyx
This is fromsuzyxand that explains everything. Cause if you've ever taken a look at this girl's icons, you must have noticed how bright and amusing they can be. And I love Jack, plus I like when they take fun of him. So why not?
One Tree Hill | Lucas/Peyton byeleblack
I made this crappy icon myself, and I'm using it cause so far I've never had the chance to search for a proper Lucas/Petyon icon - actually I have, but I ain't found any better, believe it or not. I like the colouring though, and the 'finally together' is a sentence that's always working for the two of them. Cause I actually made the icon when I watched season 4 and that must have been ages ago. The two of them keep having on-and-offs and I'm so eager to watch season 6 to see that they finally reached a stable status. Just saying.
POTC | Will/Jack by anonymous
Oh God this is from centuries ago! I found it days before I signed on LJ, and when I did and I was searching for userpics to put into my account (yeah, figure, at the time I didn't know how to fill the empty spaces among my userpics, oh, madness) I found this one stored into my HD. So I added it and since this is one of the funniest scenes ever - and it features Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp - I never took it away.
Twilight | Bella bymirandel
From the very first moment I saw this icon, I thought the 'OME' thing was brilliant :D Also, I was looking for a 'omg' userpic at the time lol

# Random facts
- EDITED my profile. Something minimal, but still clearer than it used to be. Y/N?
- Started to write my very first Sylar/Elle fanfic last night. In English. Though I'm afraid it's going to turn out a Sylar/Elle/Adam thing. Bad fangirl I am, screwing up my OTP like this.
- Watched S. Darko, and liked it pretty much. It's a sequel to "Donnie Darko" but it was produced by a total different director. The original one said he wasn't anywhere involved with this new film, and he actually intends to produce another sequel, but I don't know anything else about it. And though many people criticized "S. Darko", I'd say it wasn't a complete waste of time. I like that they used a larger cast (in "Donnie Darko", Jake Gyllenhaal was the only one you could actually appreciate) and, above all, that they put together Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl, James Lafferty from One Tree Hill, Jackson Rathbone from Twilight and Briana Evigan from Step Up 2. I really liked the plot and all the stories beneath/between the characters. So if you watched it, let me know what you think.
- Still working at the Top5s. Sorry babes, long process.
