modus operandi

Nope, I'm not getting a writer's/blogging block. I'm just trying to ease my way back in after my long blogging hiatus. HAI FLIST DID YOU MISS ME? :D

So. I do have good friends that I've made thanks to LJ and nope we haven't met in person. I wish we could meet in person but I'm not sure whether it'll be possible. It will be super awesome if we could, though.

My first few LJ friends were made through fandom (big surprise), specifically the CSI: Miami fandom, in the order of swift_tales, lausi_gm and spilled_notes. swift_tales was kind of unexpected because I was following her Odd Colour Series on FanFiction.Net and it led to more of her fics on her LJ. Thanks to the power of fangirling over the same OTP and fanfic commenting, there came friendship and the joining of LJ communities, which led me to lausi_gm and spilled_notes, who are awesome people who remind me to think more of myself than I do and who reassure me that I'm not as alone as I always think I am.

It's strange yet awesome how just one common interest can sustain these friendships for these past few years, and it's even more awesome that our common fandoms keep expanding to include Torchwood (oh, Ianto *wibbles*) and Merlin. I love it that we have similar tastes in UK series.

Then there's the fandom for w-inds. and WaT, where I've met lovryu, esined_xoxo, tomosuki, chychaai and gn_chan. The first three don't really count since we're in the same country, but I like them and they deserve a mention, especially lovryu, with whom I've shared lots of late-night-early-morning flaily times with over pretty and hilarious Japanese boys, the Merlin cast (Gaius's eyebrows FTW!), cracky British comedy shows, the similarities of our lives having been through the same education system and having enough similar character traits to be LJ-and-MSN-IM twins, and the EPIC FAIL of our fellow Singaporeans.

Come to think of it, the main reason why I know all these people came down to our love for hot and/or pretty boys/men. I love how superficial us fangirls are XD

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!

I'm supposed to be writing a news story by today for tomorrow's class but I can't seem to understand the instructions just recently uploaded onto Blackboard by my lecturer. My brain seemed to have gone offline along with my TwitterFox. Which explains why I'm here instead. Heh.

Anyway, it's September! The month of new and renewed television series! Woots!

9th
So You Think You Can Dance, season 6
Glee, season 1

19th (?)
Merlin, series 2 (?)

21st
How I Met Your Mother, season 5
Accidentally on Purpose, season 1 (not sure if I should watch this one.)
Heroes, season 4
CSI: Miami, season 8

23rd
CSI: NY, season 6

24th
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, season 10

I have so many shows coming up that I want to watch, but I still have a backlog of older seasons I haven't even watched yet (CSI season 9, Heroes season 3 and Chuck season 2). Ugh. I need 48 hours in one day!

( My new obsession )

Because I have an almost 3000-words public relations proposal and a 2500-to-3000-words audience study research essay due in about four and seven days respectively, I am actively searching for ways to procrastinate.

( Cue the run-on ramblings! )

Oh, and regarding the first part of this entry about the Audience Studies presentation and the assholey questions the arses from the other group threw at us? My group got a distinction grade for the whole assignment, anyway. Take that, so there. HAH.

And it's Y.Mei's birthday today! Happy 21^st, babe! Another one of us has become legal!

Yesterday morning, I got up at 6.30 a.m. as usual, and this was what I saw:

I love the views from my house.
