Went and watched Battleship tonight. It was seriously amazing. I highly suggest going and seeing it. The characters were great and you got a chance to really bond with them. Then the action was top notch and really believable.

Hello all!

I've been keeping busy, how about all of you?

I read the hunger games books and they were SO GOOD!!! I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY excited about the movie that's coming out soon and already bought my tickets! SQUEEEEE! I redid my profile today to be hunger games =D

It needs to be March 23rd already!!! If you haven't read these books GO DO IT!!! You won't be disappointed!

So it wasn't a terrible day.

Granted my husband is really just shite at romantic gestures. No flowers or gifts, or a card for that matter. Just a quick "Happy Valentines Day' earlier.

I tried (and failed) not to let it upset me. I'm just such a sappy person and I want to be romanced. I love surprises!! However, I've also had those type of boyfriends before and they're really not worth it. For my birthday one of my exes sent me with my bff on a treasure hunt to find roses spread out all over town with some of my other friends. The last clue led me back to my house to find the seventeenth rose (as I was turning seventeen) and a surprise party. Along with that was a beautiful little music box and the most lovely card with his own poetry. It's probably the most romantic and thought out thing someone has ever done for me......and he turned out to be a lying cheating douche bag.

So no, I don't need extravagant gestures anymore, I've learned they're not at all the most important thing, but that doesn't mean I don't miss that type of stuff. I thoroughly embarrassed myself when we out to dinner tonight and was crying at our table. I let my emotions get the best of me and couldn't help being mad at him even though I know he doesn't really celebrate holidays. The rest of the dinner was awkward as neither of us talked to each other. I just kept looking through stuff on my phone until he texted me "I love you <3". And that right there is why I love the man to death. He's an amazing husband. Always there for me, always supporting me. He gets me in ways I never though someone would and calms down my frantic side. He's insanely patient with me and I have no doubt in my mind he loves me just as passionately as I love him. He's my partner in life and that's such a good feeling.

He is taking me out Friday. I think he always intended it to be our Valentines Day, even though that's really unconventional and he just doesn't get girl stuff sometimes lol. Regardless, I bought this beautiful new dress and I'm really excited to wear it. When we got home we rented "Something Borrowed" and snuggled up on the couch together. It was wonderful and just what I needed.

So to my single friends: V-day doesn't really get better when you're attached lol. To my dating friends: enjoy the kiss-up while it lasts haha. To my married friends: if you have a romantic guy enjoy it, otherwise remember there's other stuff that's far more important.

In other news, I'm almost done with my committed fanfic stuff! Games fic is done and turned in and I posted my reversebb fic today! All I have left is the canon fest. I really wanted to sign up for paperlegends as I have this seriously epic fic that would take SO MANY WORDS to complete; however, I promised myself I would stop after canon fest and do the novel thing. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time!

Oh! I've been reading "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. OMG!!! SO GOOD!!!! so so so so so good! I had been reading a chapter a night but then I got to where the games actually started and read it all in one night- staying up til 6am lol. It's really that good. If you haven't read them yet, get to it!!

And that's my life atm. Been a little crazy hence my semi mia status. *hugs* to you all.

Friday I had a blast hanging out with pretty much my only friend down here. We watched our dance studio perform at our local mall and then had dinner at Steak & Shake before sitting around the fire at her house chatting and having some wine. It was heavenly and such a nice release after the long awful day.

Overall the entire weekend was absolutely wonderful because my husband actually had both Saturday and Sunday off of work. He NEVER gets the weekends off. It was so nice to actually spend some time with him! We didn't wake up until one o'clock on Saturday and none of the Merlin streams were working so we just hung out until we went and watched the UFC fights. John Bones Jones kept his light heavyweight title, so that was exciting. Also rather pleased that Machida (sp?) at least went a couple rounds, as I've always had a soft spot for him.

Sunday I got up early and watched a couple movies.

  

Splice was really super weird and I highly suggest never ever submitting yourself to that torture. It was fine until a little over halfway through and the thing starts having sex with everyone. WEIRD. Then I watched Roomate and it was also disturbing, but still a good movie. Was excited to see both Kat and Nina from TVD in it.

On Sunday I watched Merlin finally YAY

Thoughts... )

Finally read one of the books from my stack of 'to read'. Not having homework is making my life so much better!



It was pretty good. The ending wasn't what I expected, but good nevertheless. Actually has a substantial shout out to the stuck in a tree legend of Merlin which had me laughing and then kinda crying. I was all 'NO! I'm reading this book to be good and do something outside of fandom, and then you do this to me!' But still, worth the read. It really just felt good to read a "real" book again =D

Then Sunday night Once Upon a Time happened.

Thoughts... )


Also on Sunday I wrote 2k for my [livejournal.com profile] merlinreversebb fic! SO HAPPY! I've had a serious case of writers block for two weeks. I've had the document open every time I've been sitting at my computer and still nothing. For some reason my muse decided to cooperate yesterday and tada! More than halfway done with the story! Trying to get this one wrapped up so I can start my fic for [livejournal.com profile] merlin_games.

All in all a VERY productive and fun weekend! Now it's Monday and so far the evil guy of doom hasn't made me go through my list yet. Thank goodness. Hopefully it stays that way =D Btw, if you haven't checked out the amazing amazing stuff over at [livejournal.com profile] merlin_holidays, GO DO IT!

Today I feel like a zombie and want to crawl back in bed. Four hours of sleep just doesn't cut it. In happy news I got an A on that project I was working so hard on and an A in the class WOOT!

Finally, as if I haven't spammed my poor f-list enough with all the cross-posting: Go read my new little 4x7 magic reveal coda.

I had such a marvelous weekend! Minus feeling panicky over homework again of course.

Friday night we played beer pong and my husband and I totally kicked ass. We won a total of ten games, seven of them in a row. We were a "dynasty +2" so that was pretty cool. I actually prolly played the best I ever had-got on fire and then made two more cups after yippee!

And of course Supernatural was Friday night!! I haven't actually done any reviews yet for the season so here's my thoughts to date:
Supernatural )
Saturday night I went and saw Paranormal Activity 3. It was really good! My spoilery thoughts are behind the cut.
Paranormal Activity 3 )

After we watched the movie we went out to a club for drinks with some friends. I hadn't had a really good vodka cranberry in SO long- made me so happy. Once we left the bar we were supposed to all meet up at ihop but our friends ditched us. It ended up working out perfectly though cus my hubby and I sat together at IHOP and talked about all kinds of stuff. He's not really a talker and I am (I was in debate in h/s and college if that tells you anything) so it was wonderful to have some good conversation with him.

Sunday I did a little homework and reached my 5k goal for my Merlin Holidays fic!! YAAAAYYYY!!! It's nowhere near being close to done, but I'm still happy I hit my goal. I also watched Once Upon a Time. My thoughts:

Once Upon a Time )

And that was my weekend! I hope you all had a good time as well!!

Mondays are exhausting in general, but yesterday was a dousy -.- (is dousy not a word? ppl say it--maybe not my generation--but I've heard it before. Maybe I'm horrible at spelling, idek)

My co-worker didn't show up AGAIN!!!! This is the fourth Monday he's called in sick and I've had to do all his work. When the newspaper s on deadline you can't just not get stuff turned in. My kind heart is about to run out of understanding and I'm going to start demanding asking them to give me his accounts, cus this is just freaking ridiculous. On the up side, him calling in sick means he's not there to bother me. *sigh*

Also had some drama at the dance studio. We have a new girl is awesome- I mean seriously awesome!!! But she's upset cus she feels like all the studio focus is on a different girl- who had always been one of our best dancers. So I had a straight forward talk with her that included me having to tip toe around subjects I couldn't talk about, but still reassure her that I don't play favorites. Which I don't. Everyone should have equal opportunity to shine and we're not a competition studio. I think we're good now, but man it was kinda crazy.

Watched the movie "Arthur" last night. It was HILARIOUS!! I highly recommend it. Super funny with just the right amount of plot and feel good ending. Go rent it if you haven't seen it yet!

And lastly...I STARTED MY MERLIN HOLS FIC!!!!! YAY!!!!!! Oh man, this is gonna take all the four weeks and be so ridiculously long, but I'm really excited about it *eek* =D
happyevraftr: (eric closeup fangs)
so first of all- True Blood isn't on right now, but after finding the icon I have I couldn't NOT set it to my default. Vampires and magic have always been my favorites things. I mean--I liked vampires BEFORE it was a cool thing. And man this icon- fang porn. NO ONE does fang porn like Alexander Skarsgard. *swoon* the fantasies those blue eyes and little fangs bring to mind are downright sinful. Doesn't help that True Blood fandom has some of the most graphic, kinky porn fic out there. AHHHH! I LOVE FANG PORN!!!! Anyone else as addicted as I am?

Ok, now that it's hotter in here....let me voice my thoughts on the latest Merlin episode:

Merlin 4.2 )

Been a good weekend in general. Got all my homework done and my free for fall stuff completed and ready to send off. Now I just have to focus on the two fics that have to be done by this weekend. Once I get through this week I can start to write my Merlin Hols fic-- YAY!!!
Got our prompts for teamcanon today. We did super great in the prompt race and it was a ton of fun GO TEAM CANON!!!!

Hope you guys all had an awesome week too!

Weekend!!!

MERLIN WAS SOOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!! Ahhhhhhhh!

Sadly I'm on my phone ATM so I'll have to wait to post anything more detailed than that. I have to say that there's few things I love more than the Merlin Tumblr aftermath. The gifs, convos and things ppl point out just warm my heart and make me want to go rewatch the episode over and over and over!

Went and watched Dream House. It was not at all what I expected, but it was brilliant nonetheless. I would highly recommend u see it, especially if you like psychological thrillers. Now my hubby and I are at BWW watching the UFC paperview. No one I really like is fighting but they've been good in general.

Finished my fall exchange things today. Happy with how everything turned out :) I'll be sending them off Monday!!!!  Completely forgot Monday is Columbus day and while I don't get it off work, all government businesses like the post office are closed :(

Tomorrow is the prompt race for [livejournal.com profile] merlin_gamesand I'm crazy excited!! I love my teammates like whoa - GO TEAM CANON - and can't wait to get this party started! On that note, I have two fics I MUST finish this weekend. If I can manage to get them written and get my homework done I'll be a very very happy camper.

I have honestly been WAY to busy to write any comments/thoughts, but I'm going to start this week! Click under the cuts to see my opinions and discuss =D

Spoilers, obviously!
