Internship and dates
Jan. 27th, 2010 | 11:50 pm
mood:
giddy
Hooray for me!
Finally, after months of proclaiming that this week I am going to make the call, I finally did!
I mustered all of my courage and called PWC in the UK, where I want to do my 5 month internship.
First of all, the lady on the phone (who understood me perfectly fine, yay!) spoke very soft, annoyingly so. Second, and I had been warned for that, she wasn't giving me a direct answer. I asked three times and then she was like: "well... I guess not, no."
Disappointment numbero uno.
They only take interns in the summer and I am required to do my internship in November. Nasty.
Anyway, I have a list of the top 50 accountancy firms in the UK who all have websites. So I am not giving up and if I indeed reach number 50 and he says: "sorry, no"...
I guess then I will give up.
But it won't come to that!
Another nice thing.
I think I have a date planned for tomorrow. You think? Yes, I think.
He's the cousin of a very good friend of mine who I sometimes meet or go out with when said friend is around. He's a nice guy, funny and not all that bad on the eyes. He just never caught my attention.
Now, we both have this week off and we were chatting a few days ago. He was like: "have you seen Sherlock Holmes yet?"
I told him I hadn't, wondering where this was going.
Then he asked me to go with him. I felt giddy, a bit excited and now we are going to the movies tomorrow.
Does it qualify as a date? I'm not sure.
My sister says it does but I'm not getting my hopes up in case he just wants to be friends...
Anyway, L. told me that the movie is a lot of fun and there is a lot of male-smexiness so I'll eat my heart out anyway, even if it isn't a date.
And if it isn't, it's not a big disaster. He'll still be a nice guy to hang out with and I'll still be as single as I've always been for the past 3 years.
That's all for today, need to get to bed on time since tomorrow night I'm also hitting town with a few girlfriends.
Ah, tomorrow will be a good day for sure.

Gosh, I really need to learn to keep this updated!
I'm so bad at such things, certainly when I get sidetracked with a fanfiction I'm working on...
Anyway, I got Love and Some Quite Unfortunate Events updated today! My beta hasn't got a lot of free time on her hands so it is an unbetaed chapter but I couln't wait any longer!
So here is chapter 03:

Love and Some Quite Unfortunate Events
Dec. 14th, 2009 | 05:21 pm
Another new fanfiction, another new project I'm working on.
The list is getting somewhere near endless right now. Stuck with one, busy with the other, waiting for my beta to finish, writing on two others... Really, sometimes I do wonder where I get the time to write as much as I do.
Title: Love and Some Quite Unfortunate Events
Chapter: 01
Paring: ShikaNeji
Rating: T
Genre: Romance, Drama
Warnings: shounen ai
Story Summery: Now that the time for secrets has passed, can Neji and his No Longer Secret Admirer's relationship stand up to the test of their friends and families?

Internet
Nov. 29th, 2009 | 10:45 pm
mood:
annoyed
When do you know when your internet hates you?
I know the answer and boy do I feel happy about that (sarcastic much?).
When every site that is google-related works perfectly fine and everything else, well, doesn't. And if you are lucky and it does work, you are a restart of your computer and twenty-five clicks on the refresh button further.
It isn't as amusing as a friend of mine apparently thinks it is and, as my father says, it can't be helped. But it still ticks me off a lot.
It doesn't make me a very happy girl...
It makes you wonder if internet is a gift of the Gods or a medium created to annoy us...

OMG, a ramble!

grumpy
music: Every time you kissed me - Emily Bindiger
Sometimes you have days on which it would have been better if you had stayed in bed to not view the horrors the day will bring.
Today was that day for me.
I have one of those days at least once a month. When I wake up, I feel something is wrong and, most of the time within an hour or so, I am proven to be right.
Today I was proven right the moment I opened my curtains. It was pouring on the one day I had to take my lap-top to school.
Now my laptop is almost like my child. If evil ever befalls it I will give it a proper burial and mourn for my loss an appropriate time. Rain is evil on all things electronic (and on the head-light of my bicycle which doesn't work when wet) so I fear the life of my laptop every time it rains. Even though I've been told many times that my bag is watertight. Hell, it could be lies for all I know!
But, it wasn't just pouring. It was actually storming this morning. So having arrived at school looking like a drowned cat, and probably smelling like it too (rain can do such things even if your perfume smells great) things got worse.
We work on projects in groups, my group (sorry guys) stinks. One person didn't do her work, two have sat at their computers laughing for two hours, thus not doing anything at all, and one didn't even show up! When the guy was sitting in the next class all he did was smile sheepishly, not even apologizing. What a jerk.
Our Financial teacher is also a jerk. When I ask a question he ignores it. When I say I don't understand something he tells me he will explain it during the next class (which is a lie). And when one of my classmates asks him what he's written down, he tells the guy he doesn't ever say something sensible. That's not a thing a teacher does, right? I will tell you. It is not!
He will go down one day and I sure hope it is before I make my finals because if we don't get another teacher soon I'm sure I'll fail...
When it was time to go home it was still pouring. I arrived home, again like a drowned cat, but was relieved to find my laptop dry, the first good thing of the day!
At least I know one thing for sure, tomorrow will be better. I get to celebrate on of my best friends' birthday and go out for dinner with her and her parents. Just too bad I have to travel an hour and a half first before arriving at her place. But sometimes, sacrifices need to be made. At least I have my laptop with me again. Let us hope I will not see a drop of rain, then.

First of Many or Epic Fail
Nov. 22nd, 2009 | 12:22 am
location: Netherlands, Best
mood:
bouncy
music: None
My first post... how very nice to do that on this night in which I should be sleeping but am refusing to, as always...
And before you wonder, the picture below is not my intention around here. Let me explain (and even if you wouldn't, I still would because you can just skip this part with that scroll-thing on your mouse...):
This is not my first blog. I've had, I think, three so far and none of them ever got further then two weeks and five posts.
After that I tried making a website, which is a serious bitch to do. It takes up a lot of time and I didn't have any time left for my greatest joy in life: writing Yaoi fanfiction. So after having tried to design two websites, and failing epically, I just stuck to writing my gay porn (well, not exactly porn since none of the guys in my fiction ever lost any of their clothing) and was quite content with that.
Then my friend,
paniwi , told me to go ahead and create an account here. At least now I know there is at least one person that will read my posts, since if she doesn't I know she hasn't and she'll hear from me!
So I'll try to avoid another epic fail and let this be the first post of many to come...
