modus operandi

There was a book fair/sale at the Expo a few days ago and Y got me two Merlin novels just because while he was there like a bookworm drawn to book sales. Envy me, for my boyfriend is both nerdy and awesome XD
(Ooh, Colin and Bradley~ *Coos at book covers*)

Anyway. I started out typing this entry with a few things in mind that I wanted to say, but now I've forgotten what I was going to update about. Fail.

It was supposed to go something like: I kept nodding off at work because after years of staying up for uni stuff, I can't seem to keep to my 10p.m. bedtime. Waking up at 6a.m. for five days a week has made work hours very difficult to get through. And I've been packing my own lunch to work since the third day of work because eating outside meant having to endure the heat and the expensive CBD menu. Although I feel so wrung out tonight that I'm not really up to cooking something for tomorrow. I guess I'll just buy a sandwich from 7-11 tomorrow morning on my way to the bus stop. Then maybe I'll mention something about the crazy heat these few days. I didn't even have to switch on the heater for the shower; the water was too warm on the lowest setting. And that my hair's getting long enough to be at that length that its mere presence is irritating, and it sticks to the back of my neck and fizzes when it gets too warm or too humid even though I have straight hair (so totally not true that only curly and/or wavy hair fizzes). Can the rainy/monsoon season be here now? UGH.

Okay. I think my mind just went *kapoot* because it's functioning on a lack of energy while the weather is overheating it. Stupid equatorial weather.
 

VIDEO MONDAY 24

Because I'm geeky and this will blow your mind.

Um. Yes, I have a test tomorrow for my Creativity module (how ridiculous is that? What's the point in testing us about the theories and stuff related to something as abstract as creativity?!) but am digressing from it for a bit. Okay, so not 'a bit' because I've been watching (10 episodes of) The Big Bang Theory since lunch. And I initially wanted to wake up at 8.30am to study but was up at 8am and somehow fell back asleep until 11.30am. Ugh. So much time wasted.

Anyway, hey look it's Rex! Because apparently Y went and spent $4 on those egg toy capsule machines before it rolled out a Rex (or he exchanged with a friend who got the Rex), so... now I have it hanging from my handphone.

(I don't think he remembers/knows that Rex is my favourite from Toy Story, but he picked Rex out of the few other characters that rolled out, so. Yay! :D)

Yes, in case anyone's asking, there's no purpose whatsoever to this entry other than me wanting to brag about how awesome my bf is. HAHA.

Curfews suck. And I really couldn't feel the vibration of my mobile phone through my shorts. Accept that, and shut it. And really, taking away my phone and Internet access for the night? I HAVE SUCH IMMATURE PARENTS (and utterly uncreative ones, at that).

In other news, I finally have my red Converse jacket back. YAYNESS.

( Because I'm an unapologetic MERLIN fangirl )

There are less than nine days left of this year, and considering I'll be working for three days later this week, I forced myself to check off #3 of my last-try-for-2009 list today before I run out of time.

It was super nerve-wrecking since I haven't been posting to my usual fandoms for such a long time that it was almost like posting for the first time all over again, and also I really was posting for the first time ever on new fandoms where there are already lots of brilliant fanfictions and I just felt inadequate and ashamed that I had the audacity to want to exist in the same LJ community as those amazing writers. Oh, crossposting. UGH. What a nightmare. It's the part I dread the most; making sure all the details follow the community's posting rules, that I didn't miss out anything and end up incurring the wrath of the mods, that all my links work, blah blah blah... OH EM GEE. *PULLS HAIR*

BUT. IT'S ALL DONE NOW. UGH. I've been working on this since after lunch and UGH LOOK AT THE TIME! IT'S HALF-PAST-9! I WANT MY TUESDAY BACK! D':

*Huffs* Oh well. Anyway, here are the links:

Next Step
[There was one last thing he needed to do before leaving the past behind.]
CSI: Miami fanfiction; Eric/Ryan; One-shot; Possible slash; Spoilers for season 8 episode 5 (Bad Seed); Dialogue-fic; PG; CBS and the various producers own CSI:Miami. I don't; Thanks to lausi_gm for the hand-holding and the confidence-bestowing! *HUGS!*

20 Tweetfics
CSI: Miami | Glee | Merlin | Merlin RPF/S | Torchwood

THIS. IS OFFICIALY DONE DONE DONE. I can now go shower in peace, then go wrap up the gift I bought for tomorrow's company bbq+gift exchange (ugh I despair at my gift-wrapping skills, or lack thereof. Am dreading the process already).

I hope my work-friends are sensible enough to not buy anything impractical. *Nervous*

Well, before I could even begin to notice, another year is almost ending. And yet I still have some unfinished business left. Like Y.Mei used to say, it's better to settle everything and not have anything leftover to the next year (even though I'm not superstitious, heh...), so here's my very short list of things I want to get done in the remaining fortnight of 2009:

1. Pay the October and November bills for my mobile phone.
2. Get a haircut. No idea where I can get a good one at a cheap rate, though.
3. Post my tweetfics and that short Eric/Ryan fanfic I managed to complete.
4. Clear the backlog of photos I wanted to put up on LJ.
5. Deal with my drama (mama). For good.

Here's to hoping I can get them all done. Or at least three of them... *smacks self* Stop giving myself leniency to back out!
