Yes, I'm still alive. :P I've just been busy doing many different things, and so I fell out of the habit of keeping up here. Tch. Have to change that.
Right now I'm supposed to be reading for tomorrow; I've decided to really be a good student for the rest of my time studying, and that involves a lot of reading. Not that I mind; I really like my main class (best class I've ever had here), so I want to stay on top of the literature. :)
I don't have any real motivation for my other class, so I'm trying to see if I can get a work-experience place instead. I keep my fingers crossed! Incidentally I'm currently reading for the class I want to get out of. ;P Hence my lack of motivation to read.

In other news, I turned 26 wednesday. :D My wonderful siblings gave me one Discworld novel and a SG-1 and SGA season, so I'm quite happy. My mom gave me a silk duvet back in August as an early birthday present, which I like a lot! Very different from the feather ones.

I also 'finished' a costume this summer, and I'm looking for the right extensions to it now. (I say 'finished' as there, of course, still are things I want to change). Hopefully I'll find some extensions I will be satisfied with. :)

Now I'd better get back to reading. Serious student and all, y'know. ;)

Promts are taken from Jean's author blog, since I like challenges. ;) Just don't expect these to be good; it's just a bit of late night fun for me.

First one is speech based story telling:
Title: Two goth girls

"Wow."
"Yeah."
"Who would have thought a football jock could look that good without, well, anything."
Serra nodded in agreement. "That is some serious cheesecake, right there."
"I'm sooo putting him up next to my necromancer poster!"


The next is a poem:
Title: The porch

Here I am
sitting in my rocking chair
listening to the sounds
of the wind
of the chair rocking gently
of the bee hive singing


I'll just sneek away again now. I'm in serious need of sleep from my lack of sleep in the weekend, but what a fun weekend it has been. :)

Yesterday we had hail and... snow. o_O Only a little snow and only in some places, but we had snow. WTF?! It's May! We're supposed to have summerlike weather now, not late winter/early spring weather!
But every since hitting the first of May the temperatures have dropped. On the evening of the 1st of May we had hail. And tuesday we had snow, hail, thunder, rain, and the temperature didn't go over 7 degrees celcius here. -,- That's just wrong.
The last half of April was filled with summer weather and sun, sun, sun. So the rain yesterday was much needed, but why did it have to be so cold? I had to put on all my winter clothes again, and was still freezing when cycling home from Carneval Village, where I had been clueing sequins for hours. (In an unheated room, mind you). Getting home was a relief.
I want the summer weather back. Or at least just warm spring weather. I really hope the weather is better in England, where I'm going friday. :) And then it should be good again when I get home. *looks sternly around hoping the weather heard that* Next time I'm in Carneval Village to clue stuff I want more heat!

Hmm, I should pack. I'm leaving for Cph tomorrow and then going to Birmingham from there.

Exam, exam, exam. Bleh. That's really the thing running around my mind at the moment. -,- I have nine days until deadline and I've done zero, zip, zilch work on my paper... Of course it doesn't help that the process got off to a bad start. Actually the semester got off to a bad start, and I'm mostly in a state of mild panic over the paper. I don't want to disappoint neither my teacher or myself again. Meh.
Well, I should get to work. I need to figure out how to get the literature I need for this, when to read it, and then find the time for writing. Did I mention I'm not even home this weekend? Oh, and I need to write an email to my teacher. And stop procastinating.

Hope you're all okay. I'll just mentally smack my head into a wall for a bit and then kick myself into gear.

I can't wait for April to come!

Meh. -_- LJ will only let me go back through the journals on my friendspage of the last two weeks. What kind of crap is that?! Do they honestly think I wouldn't want to look further back under any circumtances? I so hate it when information gets restricted, or someone else decide what and how much information I need, or should need/want. -_-

So, yeah, my planned update has just been cut off by LJ and their 'wonderful' decisions on what I want. Of course, I should still be able to go further back on somebody's individual page, but that will take even longer, and I'm more likely to forget someone or miss out on something than if I could just view it on my friendspage... I am NOT happy!
I have read the entries of the last two weeks, and am now wondering what to do. (Beside getting to bed). Maybe I could write a complain? Two weeks is a ridiculous short time... Meh. -_-

...with my sister and can't remember when I last brought so many things home. :P
New shoes for winter, new jacket(needed says my family(and I)), cycle gloves for winter use, blouses, socks... I have seriously been spending money. Of course my sister bought stuff for herself, too, which is not surprising; she loves to shop, I don't. (Which is partly why I needed her along. The other part being that I'm tired of getting critic for my clothes/shoes not being 'smart enough').

I absolutely love my new jacket! :D It's wool and is made to look a bit like an old military jacket, with silver colored buttons. The shoes need to be walked in a bit, but then they always do.
Can't wait to hear peoples reaction to my jacket. I think it's about a decade since I last bought a winter jacket...! (Told you; I don't like to shop. Only comics, books and other equally geeky things). :P


Now, to bed with me. I'm almost over my illness(I hope), but still coughing and blowing my nose regurlarly. I try to avoid too many nosebleeds, but I just get those from excessively blowing my nose. Luckily I have had the whole week off, and only have two hours of intro to the next semester friday.
And friday I go to Copenhagen to visit trager! :D Yeah! NCIS, here I come!

Got my Studio Foglio package today! It's less than a week ago since I ordered it, so when I saw the package I actually didn't think it could be from them, since they say it can take up to 4-6 weeks for international customers.
I'm happy to now have Buck Godot in my collection as well as the GG sketch books. (I want to color some of those sketches...).

Now, when do I have the time to reread Buck Godot? Oh, and I still haven't read Top 10...

That was the best thing to happen today. Now I will sleep and prepare for a long day tomorrow I have read nothing for and a meeting I don't know when starts. :~P

How long has it been since I last checked up on LJ? According to myself(and the lastest entries I read until today) was the 23th... Of course that only means I spend most of the evening finding interesting stuff on my friendspage. :P

So... what have been happening here? Quite a bit, actually.
Since last sunday, I now have a pair of budgies/budgerigars in my living room, more exactly on my dinning table. No, not for eating. I simply concluded that was the best place for their cage. The other option was my dresser in my bedroom, but since I spend almost all walking(and at home) hours in my living room I thought it better to keep them in here. The birds are currently resting and so completely quiet. (Until they decide to wake up again...).
Poseidon is finally starting to act like a male, not a chicken, and Persefone is responding to his courting. Well, at least when there's a possibility of getting fed. :P They have also discovered that there is two feedingbowels, one for each!
They are in no way tame, but I intend to work on that. So far they have pretty much gotten used to my presense and don't mind eating when I do, but they fear 'the hand'.

On the less than exciteting things, I've been to IKEA with my sis, bought a new 'office furniture', got it assembled(well, my sis did it; I sewed her stuff), and I have even started putting things into it. :) We also replanted a few potted plants that was growing out off their pots(at least mine were) the same sunday the birds got moved to my apartment. Her roommate can't stand them(thinks they are noisy), so they are 'vacationing' with me. I have no idea how long they'll stay here. I think that depends on how things work out between them.
But I think the birds enjoy the calm here(even if they don't really like mucis that much). I have certainly observed a difference in behaviour in just a week of having them here and continue to do so.

I have the usual school business to attend to, of course, and I have been on a weekend trip that I think was fairly good, but I could really do without the 'interest' from a couple of guys... Not that they aren't nice, but I'm just not really looking for a boyfriend and I know I'll probably be impossible if you aren't a fan. So, yeah, not quite sure what to do about that. It's one of those things that appearently comes with being a tomboyish, but girly looking woman. Fascination. But that doesn't really mean we will make good matches. *sigh* What is wrong with just being friends? I like friends...
Anyway, it was a good trip, even if it came with some emotional confusion and ackwardness.

I am, (of course?), hopelessly behind in reading for my classes. I'll never catch up before the classes are over, mostly due to simple not having the motivation to read (school stuff) every day. But at least the headache I've had since sunday evening seems to be letting off.
Finally my (other)sis and BiL plus kids where here on sunday, to visit my sis and me. That means I went strait home after the weekend trip to having guests; only stayed in my apartment long enough get my luggage out of the way, the birds moved and the worst mess moved, before I went over to my sis to join the others. My sis og BiL brought the dinner since I hadn't had a change to shop for it as they didn't inform me of their plans until saturday... ;P

And now I'm tired, but somewhat content. I think our(sis and me) birds will appreciate it if I go to bed soon, and so will my head. :)

I should probably head to bed, but! First I post.

I went to Århus today to talk with one of my bankadvicers, which became a nice little chat that lasted about half an hour and resulted in a change in account(that one I had to do due to bank rules) and getting a new netbank code so I can try getting it to work this time. Last time I just gave up. :P
Before I made sure to visit Komics, a local comic shop, chat a bit with the owner and buy a new omnibus. I did have my eyes on a couple of other things, but I have to keep myself from spending too much at one time. I might have to buy new books for my study! Maybe. Still waiting for some information on my semester. Any information, really. (Oh, the irony of studying information science).

After my little chat with my advicer I met up with Perial for the first time. :) It was great meeting him(hi!) and walk around the inner part of Århus while talking about all sorts of things. I love meeting new people, I just tend to be really bad at actually doing it. :P It was 'hyggeligt'(I'm just going to steal Perial's idea and export the word, so there you have it) even if the wind was really cold and harsh today. Oh, well, that's one of the things that comes with the autumn.
I wanted to write more, but my brain doesn't seem to want to work with me(maybe because it's 2.25 am), so I think I'll just find that bed...

Well, that was different. Something I should probably get used to now. Or maybe not.
Got woken up by my little sis walking into my bedroom singing 'Godmorgen, godmorgen, til hele bondegården'(goodmorning, goodmorning, to the entire farm.(Yes, sounds ridiculous in English)), and then laughing 'cause I had ended up lying on top of my duvet rather than under it. ;P
She then informed me she was going to borrow my bath, since they were going to work in hers later that day and she didn't want it moist.
I'm not used to people wandering into my apartment, but lately there have been a lot of going back and forth, while hers was(is) being renovated/painted. Yesterday I had only just gotten out of bed before they rang the bell. (I think she only rang the bell due to having her roommate with her).

Oh, well, it's a funny way to get woken up even if it's unexpected. Now I think I have a rather long list of things to do calling my name. *waves goodbye*
