I'm not ready to leave 2012.

kallielI'm back, and I had a wonderful time.
Traveled all around Russia, Ukraine, Finland, and the UK (sort of), and got to meet up with![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shaitanah/istne_pieklo TWICE, which was absolutely fantastic.
Traveled a lot, applied to eight trillion doctoral programs, made some of the best friends of my life, all of whom I now miss so much it hurts. Now I don't know how to live my life and I'm being a psychopath and carrying around two phones (both off), only reading my junk mail, that sort of thing. Tried to self-medicate my life by disappearing into television and ended up traumatized by television! Not that that should surprise anyone!
tl;dr Sam is amazing, and I love Amelia. I adored 8x09 and it makes me so excited for the next half of the season--ohhhh, Benny Benny Benny. Law and Order; SVU S14 is weirdly good. And the BBC version of Being Human, which I started watching withshaitanah, absolutely slayed me. Is slaying me. I can't do this. XP
Actually, I think my basic relationship with most TV right now is pretty much "motherfucking vampires!!"
I may need to go read Lestat again.
How are you all? I've missed you. <3

LOOOOOOOOOOOKIIIIIIIIIIIII
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I fangirl them so hard, I'm even reading Space
AUabout them, and my tolerance for Space Adventure that isn't Star Trek or Stargate Atlantis fanfic is infinitely small. >_>(That being said, considering the Gabriel-Loki connection and my love of myth and Trickster characters, this really came as no surprise at all.)

on 2012-12-31 02:58 pm (UTC)VikingSpace Pirates, trying to get back to Midgard/Asgard. (It's taking a couple of years because they don't have the kind of technology/magic to make the journey faster.)Art based on the fic:
It tends a bit towards id-fic, but whatever. :D (Also take a look at this hilarious plot summary (it's a short comic strip))
Canon interactions mostly revolve around Tony offering Loki a drink and Loki throwing him out of a window. Shhh, who needs tons of canon interaction.
I like smart-ass characters and snark, so...yeah. XD

on 2012-12-31 06:41 pm (UTC)REPORT ON THIS, PLEASE.
I've been . . . doing . . . stuff. I graduated and that's about the most fortunate thing that ever happened because I now suddenly have an immense hatred of being inside a classroom.

on 2012-12-31 02:24 pm (UTC)I took the liberty of downloading all of Anne Rice's vampire chronicles, most of which I've read at least in part, some of which I've read many times and deeply, and jesus christ. Sometimes your high school obsessions really don't age that well! Whatever, maybe it'll turn around when I get further in. I feel like I should pay my dues to the character who started all this bullshit. AKA gee, thanks, Lestat. Really, thanks. XP
I really shouldn't be allowed anywhere near fiction of any sort. I really shouldn't. This is ridiculous!
no subject
on 2012-12-31 03:00 pm (UTC)Hahah, I'm afraid to reread her books. I loved them so much but they can be so cheesy... I know I can never reread the Anita Blake series without cringing either b/c I'll definitely pay more attention to the flaws now. XD But Lestat is still pretty badass (when he doesn't fall in love with random people or claim that he wants sainthood. XD)
no subject
on 2012-12-31 03:10 pm (UTC)Also, yes, I certainly have met Cutler! I just failed to register is name, ahaha. Love his attitude so far, and his poor ill-fated focus group. <3
Apologies for derailing your novel thoughts, whoops! BUT SIMULTANEOUSLY THANK YOU FOR RETURNING FEELS TO MY LIFE AS WELL. And for giving me this outlet because all I want to do is talk and talk and talk and my family is beginning to think I'm crazy(ier than they had already accepted I was).
I have this deep, abiding love for Lestat, and I'd forgive him anything--even Blood Canticle--but I read the intro to The Vampire Lestat, where he talks about his band and being a rock superstar and all of his facial features and I was just like, my god, Lestat, if I didn't know that was you, I'd put this down RIGHT NOW. XP It'll be interesting to rediscover him, that's for sure. I think since then my canons have progressed to being about increasingly shitty people (Sasuke, you look so wholesome now! And okay, a little nuts still, but you're in good company, XP) so I'm curious to see if anything's changed.
no subject
on 2012-12-31 03:20 pm (UTC)Haha, Cutler is ultimately a loser. He's got great ideas but they're not so easily put into practice, esp. since everyone around him is blunt, direct and prefers "fists and fangs". I love Fergus too (the one that died in 4x03), but Nick Cutler is special. XDDDDD
Haha, no worries, nothing can derail that train (I mean, if my two works can't...))) LOL, talk to me anytime, I'm always here and my brain always longs for something else to focus on other than work. XDDD Besides, I already miss you so damn much. Whyyyy did you have to leeeeave? Come back! We shall miss more trains!
LMAO, the rock band part is kind of like those scary rock band AUs in the anime fandoms.
Now I'm curious too))) Do share your impressions)))

Your trip sounds like it was an absolute blast; so jealousss. I'm glad you had fun. Which was your favorite country to visit? Did you get any souvenirs? Any embarrassing mishaps?
As for me: Work sucks and I have a cold. Also, the heat light blew on our little snake during the night and he froze :( Still, I'm feeling overall positive. Downgrade in enjoyability of saying the year aside, I always feel refreshed when the new year comes around. I'm making homemade pizza for dinner, and I plan to write something, anything, at the stroke of midnight so I can assure myself I'll be doing it all year. I may even clean my room!
Lol, probably not.no subject
on 2013-01-01 03:04 am (UTC)I got these awkward fish ceramics at a flea market, and I love them:
I get the impression that pic is going to be way more huge than is seemly but whatever. XP
<3333333333 Sorry to hear about work, the cold, and the poor little snake. :(((((( But homemade pizza is wonderful and I love those plans. That's such a great idea! Happy New Yearrrrrrrrr~
no subject
on 2013-01-01 08:07 am (UTC)Oh. Em. Gee. Those fish. Are AMAZING. But do they travel? /dead and buried joke
Thanks. The pizza turned out pretty much awesome, so I'm kinda riding on that. My first time drinking wine to bring in the new year was a bust, though-- the fruity flavor was nice, but I could not with the alcohol taste. Like, wow, I wasted my last five minutes of twenty-twelve to get the cork off this? Bummer. But still. Pizza :d Aside from that, we had a variety of snacks and a pretty little New Year bouquet (so called because it justifies the five bucks I spent on it) and we had some fun making stupid "haven't done x since last year" jokes. I also did get some writing down! Nothing impressive, mind, but still something I failed to put to page for the whole of last year. No room-cleaning so far, but there's time.
Lol, not gonna happen.Now, to write "2013" repeatedly until I'm sure it's stuck...no subject
on 2013-01-02 11:03 pm (UTC)Also, Castiel- I shall not speak of him further because he is the root of all my traumatised-by-teevee experiences :(
no subject
on 2013-01-03 12:20 am (UTC)I suspect we'll be getting a lot more of that as the season progresses as well (not to mention holy shit, Naomi?). And then there's Benny--THOSE LAST SCENES. There are ways to play this incredibly well and I sincerely hope that Show chooses one of those. Finally, I hiatus where I don't mind it ending!
And hiiii you. <3 I've missed you lots. :)
no subject
on 2013-01-03 01:14 am (UTC)I don't like Naomi lulz- she and Daphne are my least fave *pees on everything they love*, the former because she is torturing Cas and the latter because she's so bland even I'm more exciting than her. Also, you better have been staying away from the spoilers, kally! I swears, girl :p
pfffffft, you miss everyone, sweets, and likewise *smishes*
Also, I have been crying, kally :( It's not even over Castiel- I am as surprised as you are! I needs comfort-ing :((
no subject
on 2013-01-03 01:18 am (UTC)<33333333333 Why have you being crying? :(( Crying is sad and everyone/happiness is my OTP.
merlin spoiler in comment
on 2013-01-03 02:00 am (UTC)Well, you mentioned BBC Being Human and yesterday I watched BBC Merlin. I cannot, kally, lookit this-
I shall translate into spn-lang for you, this relationship is like 401/402 deancas being pissy at each other and total assholes and, like, hating each others guttttttttttttttts and then they go through their many divorces, yea, and five seasons later in 922/923, dean dies in castiel's arms his dying words being, 'i know now- all that you've done- for me. i want to say something i've never said to you before, cas- thank you'
and then dean dies his hero's death and castiel is A WRECKKKKKKKK and then there is a lot of shouting at the heavens, and beating of the breast, and forehead-to-forehead kissing like an eskimo kiss but with FOREHEADS, and castiel is truly alone and barred from heaven if that is even where dean ends up, and dean's just gone
i am inconsolable, kally :((
I have also been generally unhappy irl too so this was just like the not-silver lining. And I really want Castiel/happiness but I know I'm not going to get it because Castiel is a punching-bag, y'know, a tinman!angel who's got no heart so it's totally not gonna hurt him if Show rips him a cosmos of new ones *sarcasm*
