 How's me?

Me's pretty good laterly :)

Had my very very VERY last exam. No more exams after this, EVER! Well, depending on extra schooling when I'm working, but no more university exams. Still have to do my thesis during the summer holidays, but in a few months, my university carreer is over.

In exactly two weeks we get the keys to the house. The ( Read more... )

KES! *tacklehugs*

You're almost done with university? You will (eventually) move into an awesome house with a pool? You have a great summer job? And I'm so happy for you that you have all this awesomeness in your life! :D

I don't really know any of the shows you mentioned. LOL. And everything I'm watching is on hiatus too... well, summer is for other things like, I dunno, getting sunburned and eating ice cream.

Never read Neil Gaiman. Should I? (Translate: I need to buy summer books soon, and will have a lot of time for reading, so has he written much?)

SO GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU OMG! :D :D

HANNA! *hugs back*

I am! I am! I have! Thank you!! :D

You definitely should! He wrote Stardust (as in, movie based on?), wrote an episode of Doctor Who (brilliant one, srsly). Other than that, he's written loads, yes. Definitely recommend him as summer reading. And esp if you've got loads of time (you're not gonna want to put the books down, guarantee it). He calls his writing "urban fantasy". Like, stuff based in strange places in the US, or a secret world next to the London underline,... Absolutely brilliant stuff!

I've been so completely AWOL from LJ, it's not even funny. It's mostly Twitter for now, as you know :P

OHHH, he's the guy who wrote Stardust? Well, then, I definitely HAVE to read some of his stuff. *bounces*

Well, I have been absent from LJ myself for a ridiculously long time, but now I need it again for fangirling over Glee. I tried tumblr for a while, but that place is, like, batshit crazy, and on LJ I have better control over what to read and what not to read. Plus, I kind of like LJ, I guess it's just a habit or something...

Oh yeah, twitter. I'm slowly getting into it. There's SO MUCH now. Facebook, Twitter, LJ, EVERYTHING. It's awesome, though, isn't it? And a little scary at the same time. So many ways of connecting with people. (Yes, I'm still adjusting to the 21st century. I'm sloooow.)

DEFINITELY! *is secretly trying to make everyone read him*

Thing is, I don't fangirl anymore. At all. I love watching tv shows and trying out new ones, but I honestly don't fangirl anymore. I have friends on Tumblr. Looks too... bright. and from what I hear, it crashes more times than not. Too many people posting too many files. Server can't handle that.

It's basically just Twitter and Facebook for me. Resisted Twitter for a long time, but it's kinda fun now seeing famous people (the real people, not fanbases) posting stuff and pictures. Plus, Twitter just invites sarcastic comments ;P

Firstly, I LOVE YOUR ICON! I need to get some HTTYD icons.

*squishes* So gald you're done with uni. Can't wait till thats me but I still have two years left.

I'm supposed to be watching Game of thrones but I haven't had the time. I'll get into it eventually.

And I have never read Neil Gaiman. I have a couple of his books. I'm assuming he's good?

Not done yet. Still have a thesis in August. THEN I'm done :)

Neil Gaiman's BRILLIANT! Basically think everyone should read him.

Definitely should!

And about Game of Thrones. Watch it. I guarantee you'll keep watching. I now understand completely why a channel such as HBO felt it good enough to air.

You're right, looooong time no see. How's your Dutch? ;)

Just finished American Gods. Read Neverwhere before that. LOVED it. Currently reading Anansi Boys :) Was planning on buying Smoke and Mirrors, but I'm not really a big fan of short stories, so don't know yet.

Don't have time to enjoy my time :( Still working on my thesis, looking for a job and starting July we'll be painting the house (which is fun, but still, busy busy busy).

Ooh, you watch Eureka too? :) New season starts in July. Primeval sort of lost the real Primeval. It's now more CorporateEvil...

that's like my french :P

Stardust was the first I read It's actually really different from all the others. More fairytale fantasy. Not so urban.

Very aware that this is my very very last long summer holiday for the rest of my life. It's not all thesis and summer job, promise :)

True. It has gone down hill a bit the last season and I wasn't the biggest fan of the Christmas special, but it's been keeping me entertained for 4 seasons. Not many shows can do that, so it's something.
