  • I got myself a bit more organised yesterday, need to keep that and the productivity I managed to find up over the next couple of weeks,
  • Adam bang draft is due on the 14th. I'm hoping I can finish the draft because, man, I love this fic - it's been so fun to write and take part in the challenge and I think there should be so much more Adam fic in the world than there is because he's wonderful, especially when he's with his brothers and they're a family.
  • avengers_land is continuing to be fun - looks like it's shaping up to be an awesome mission, all the teams seem really lovely and I love my Sidekicks! If you haven't signed up yet but want to or are thinking about it, I can reassure you that it's brilliant fun. And please put my name down as your referral XD
  • Lectures etc are winding down now, means the only thing I'm going in for today is a seminar on a book I'm not even using in my essay which is kind of irritating but I'm going to meet a friend for hot chocolate beforehand so it's less pointless than it would have been. Then I'll come back and work after lunch. Reading The Penelopiad for one of my modules right now - it's interesting so far and, luckily, quick to read I think so I should get it finished today. 
  • It's not long until A8 now at all and I'm very excited and very nervous all at the same time - anyone got any convention tips for me? Dos and Don'ts? Things to make sure I take with me? Newbie here!

I go back to uni today. The thing is, I like uni but I have exams in May and essays for May and I know for a fact that the next month or so is going to be soooooo hectic. So I'm kind of eek about going back today. But then, I also get to see my friends who I haven't seen for aaages today so I'm conflicted. Makes a nice change today though because I don't have to have my study group meeting so I'll actually be able to have lunch.

In other news, I've been having all the Adam Milligan feels lately and they HURT. I watched Jump the Shark yesterday and I just kept thinking about what would have happened if Adam had survived and then I started to think about him still being in the cage and, yeah. Anyone have any fic recs for me where Adam survives Jump the Shark or gets rescued from the cage or something? Or even an AU where he meets his brothers in a different way, John optional. Gen or I pretty much ship anything. (Also, I totally know what I'm spending my summer writing now, lots and lots of Adam fic)

Seriously though people, ADAMMMMM. 

It's not long until my birthday now - it's on a Friday which is nice because I have that day off uni anyway. Then, on the Saturday we're going to see Avengers. So I'm looking forward to that (even though people keep asking what I want and I can't think of anything!)

Still having fun over at leverageland - have a few challenges to catch up on this week but I love my fellow grifters (and even a few people from other teams, too *g*). 

Also, I figure this is about the time to ask if there's anyone on my flist who is going to be at A8. If so, shout up because it'd be awesome if we could meet/look out for each other :)

*hugs you all*

It's my day off today! *dances*

Yesterday seemed really busy (hence why I just did a bullet post) - had lectures and a seminar and then helped out at Brownies - have two extra things from next week too so I think Thursday is going to be my tiring day!  I'm trying to have a productive day today - going to read some Chaucer later for next week and right now I'm doing some writing. Speaking of, I'm going to be messaging the people I still owe fics to later today so look out for those. 

I've started watching White Collar - I'm about five episodes in now and I'm really, really enjoying it - I like the characters and the plot and Matt Bomer...basically, it's fun :)

Apparently there's new A8 news coming soon...a male guest who is a Winchester...I'm excited! The thing is, I don't know who I'd prefer it to be because it'd be amazing if it was Jensen but then JDM would also be really cool, as would Jake Abel if they're calling him a Winchester...eeek, can I not have them all?

I feel like I haven't spoken to that many of you recently so ask me any question or whatever :)

I have a mock exam tomorrow so I've spent the morning revising; going to have a look at some practice questions after lunch and then leave it at that because it's a mock and I have seminar prep to do, as well as prep for Brownies tonight, as well as needing to have some sort of a break. It's strange because everyone I spoke to was all 'uni is so much easier than A-levels' but it really isn't!

Jason Manns has been confirmed for Asylum 8 :) I kind of knew he would be there but it's so awesome to have it confirmed! It's going to be so nice to finally get to see him live (and thank him in person, hopefully, for being so nice about sending out the free cds and the autographs and stuff.) I was listening to him on the bus on my way to and from uni yesterday and just couldn't stop smiling (think I also danced a little bit which is embarrassing but never mind) :)

I really miss being able to sit down at a weekend and write for hours and hours;  at the moment I'm just snatching time here and there and my output is so much slower than it used to me. I'm hoping to get the Stanford fic finished/at least almost finished by the end of the year so that I can focus on big bang from January (need to think of a plot or even a vague idea, first, of course!)

I'm not going out for pizza like usual tomorrow but I do have plans for Sunday. Me and my SPN uni friends are introducing someone to the show with a marathon in the afternoon and then we're all going to the pub quiz in the evening which should be fun - going to make an effort to spend time with my Mum on the Saturday because I miss doing stuff with her!

How are all of you guys? Up to anything interesting today/over the next few days?

Hey all! Time for a bullet post because I'm in a bullet-y kind of mood today!
  • 9am lectures on Mondays are actually the worst thing ever, especially when they're the only thing I have all day! However, I'm feeling brighter now that I'm home again (and hyped up on sugar) so I guess it's okay.
  • I wrote a couple more thousand words of Stanford fic yesterday which always makes me happy - there's something about this fic that just clicked for me and it feels fun whenever I'm writing on it (which is obviously a good thing.)
  • I have a mock exam on Friday, two essays due in at the end of the month-ish, yet I spent half of yesterday solving a logic puzzle for leverageland . I have no regrets. I love my Grifter team <3
  • Things seem to have calmed down at home today - things aren't back to normal but they're much less tense than they were. I'm also pleased to report that Saturday night was AWESOME. Me and my friends got a take-away and watched Ten Inch Hero and finished the night off by watching Changing Channels and it was kind of perfect because it was the first time we'd watched SPN together and we sang along to the theme song at the start and it was awesome :)
  • Jared Padalecki is going to be at Asylum 8. Have I mentioned my excitement about this because I REALLY AM VERY EXCITED!
  • I need to start Christmas shopping properly. I got something for my Mum the other day but that's all I've got. Usually, I wouldn't be bothered but my friends will be going home earlyish December for the holidays so I need to make sure I have their presents by then.

Hey guys, how are you? I have some VERY exciting news!!!!

I think I'm going to Asylum 8!! We haven't booked our tickets yet but there's a group of us who are pretty much set on going. One problem, the con ends the day before our exam period starts. Now, the chances of us having an exam on the Monday are probably (hopefully) low so I think we're going to take the risk and then just either leave early or sell our tickets if we really have no other choice.

Guys, my first convention! I NEVER thought I'd get to go to one! Misha, Mark S, Mark P, Jim Beaver and Steven Williams are all scheduled to be there! I am so excited!!

In other news, I had a super busy today. I:

- squeed over the convention, decided to go to the convention, panicked about exam season, decided to risk it, got permission to go from Mother dearest (although she couldn't really stop me, it's still polite and nice to ask and check)

- Had three lectures (the most I've had so far.

-Sat in A and E for two hours with a friend who sprained her thumb.

-Squeed some more.
