So, here I am, with a midterm to study for and a chapter of French reading to do but watching RDJ clips on youtube and posting on LJ instead. How glorious is my life right now?

The day started off bad. When I opened my eyes it was 12:30pm and I realized that I set the alarm but I hadn't turned it on. So I missed two important classes and I wanted to hit myself over the head. I got up quickly, changed into sweats and headed to Yoga. The weather was awful today and that obviously didn't help my feeling down on my luck and unmotivated. I went into Yoga expecting to do some downward dog and warrior poses but we had a guest speaker who spoke and taught us meditation. I had never tried it before so I thought it might be nice to immerse myself for the class, see what it's like.

It was strange. There were many thoughts and many urges to fidget or itch but I almost felt paralyzed in the pose and it was incredibly hard to move. My mind felt clear and my walk to Personality lecture was crisp and fresh. But there, I immersed myself back into my daily routine of worrying and sorting out what I have to do instead of what I am doing.

I always told myself and other people that I don't worry about things. I wanted to believe that I wasn't much of a worrier but today I realized that I worry excessively. After arriving at Duke, I developed a strange OCD-type attitude towards time and when I would go somewhere, meet someone or do something. If a time wasn't set the day before, it made me anxious and nervous. Yeah. That's what I realized today.

My friend came over and we had some nice bonding time over a pot of hot ramen and it was just what I needed on a shitty, rainy day. I felt a little better and proceeded to procrastinate and do anything else but study for the Italian midterm and read the French reading. Which is what I'm still doing I guess. Not good.

On the bright side, my cold has gotten better and I just have a bit of phlegm in my cough and not much more. I did give it to a couple of my hallmates though and they are now suffering, so I took pity and gave them some medicine. That's what sucks about living in a college dormitory: if one person is infected, the rest of the dorm is soon to follow. This time, i guess I was the perp.


I guess I'm getting back into the LJ groove but I'm going through another diary phase. Wish me luck with this one, maybe it'll last.

And I apologize for the lack of writing tact in this entry. For some reason my ability to write is getting worse and I think it's because I'm not getting much practice anymore. Back when I used to write fanfiction, it was my daily workout but now I don't have any of that. I really need to write more.


Picspam for today:



Try and tell me that this isn't adorable.

Feel free to share your thoughts on the episode. :)

( Synopsis )

PS. I'm probably the only one here that feels this way, but I love the plaid jacket. lol.

I just did a mini friends cut and removed a few names that didn't seem to be on LJ anymore. I feel guilty every time I do this, but I write about my real life and some really private thoughts here (despite the fact that I only update occasionally lol) and I'm not sure I want to expose them to people I don't really know or talk to anymore. I just really needed to do this, and I hope you understand. Thanks for being my friends at some point. My best wishes to you all. ♥

Btw, if anyone wants to defriend me because you don't think we're connected anymore, please feel free to do that. Just make sure you let me know. No hard feelings on my end. :)

Conundrum a.k.a Frame By Frame isn't a great movie, but Marg kicks ass in it...as always. If you haven't seen the movie yet, clips are up on MaMa for your viewing pleasure. Unfortunately we had to leave out the two (HOT) nude scenes for reasons I'm sure you all understand.

Marg's Conundrum

Enjoy.

Four/Three days until Marg Day. ;)

You're only allowed to have 6 mistakes on theory driving exams, right?

I got 12.

Edit:
Thank God for my instructor, because the CBR wasn't much help. Turns out, I was only 1 mistake away from my theory license. The exam is divided in two parts. I was allowed 12 mistakes in the first part, and I had 6, so I passed that (still have to do it again next time, unfortunately). It was the second part in which I had too many mistakes. You were allowed 5, I had 6. So I failed by one.

Am not entirely sure if this is better or worse :/

 Hey everyone,


 Man have I been neglecting it all. Running Two LJs is just not possible! Besides, CSI is mostly out of my life now...it'll always have a special place in my heart, though.

 One question for today:

 How do people feel about...real-person fanfic?

I started to dislike the old layout, so I decided to get a new one. Credits to milou_veronica for another great layout!!!

In other news, my glorious trip to Los Angeles got cancelled. :( My dad was going to be there to put on a concert and I was simply going there to see him and obviously have some good father-daughter bonding time, but alas...the singer who was supposed to perform at the concert had to bow out because he was diagnosed with H1N1. Psh. Weaksauce. :P I hope he gets better soon.

So my week of ultimate stressful-ness is just going to continue on without that fresh air that LA was going to provide. But that's okay, maybe I'll take some downtime instead of having to worry about working my busy-enough schedule around this whole dealio.

Other than that, nothing much is new. I've recently started Twitter, have loads and loads of work as usual. I am now going to proceed and take a nap. :P 

Do you think I should start a new tagging system? I believe so.

While I anxiously await the batches of icons from Monday's House:

( POLL TIEMS )

Marg's short film Peacemaker is in our vid archive and on MargTube now. She plays a 60s' housewife in this film and looks dang fine. ♥

Marg Says Peace!

Enjoy. :D

5 days till Marg Day!

PCA's nominations for 2010 are out. No Marg. :\

Nominees for Favorite TV Drama Actress are Anna Paquin, Blake Lively, Katherine Heigl, Mariska Hargitay and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Who are you voting? ;)

ETA: Forgot to mention that CSI is nominated for Favorite TV Drama. Although I don't think I really care. lol.

6 days till Marg Day. :)

 
Yay! Made brand new icons for RDJ and feeling lovely about it. I got a new mood theme too! Props!

Still stressed out as ever. Have an interview for a executive position in the Student Government tomorrow. I'll let y'all know how that goes. 


Murphy was a filmmaker. It's so true. Whatever can go wrong, goes wrong on a film set. Especially if it's a no-budget, independent film. UGH.

I feel a bit silly doing this, but the fact is, even after 10 years, I'm still horribly ashamed of this. During my senior year at school, one of the assignments we got at Dutch language was presenting a statement. We were allowed to chose anything, as long as we could find arguments defending our statement.

I chose the following:

"The Dutch people did everything they could to help the Jews during the second World War"

Why did I do this? I don't know, I didn't even believe it myself. I presented the statement, and pretty much blacked out the minute after I said it. It's not in the same league as "The Holocaust never happened", but it's far from the truth. Even know, everytime I see war time documentaries, I cringe at the memory of what I said.

Because, the Dutch people did very little to help the Jews during the occupation. A lot of the things we did actually helped the Nazis. The resistance we did put up was mostly symbolic, and only if we were sure we didn't risk our own safety.

Maybe I'm a product of my education, because when I first learned of the second World War, it was still in the time were teachers told the kids that most Dutch resisted the Nazis, and the few ones that didn't were just a couple of collaborators. Then again, when I made that statement, I was 18 and really should have known better.

I'm sorry.

Just a small update...more pics from last week's The Road screening were uploaded, including some new HQ's. :)

MOAR!

7 days until Marg Day. :)

Summary: In which he carries out a hallucinatory affair with her.
Author's note: I started writing this a few days after the season 5 finale and put a lot of effort in it then, but the more we got to know about season 6, the more rare and sporadic my will to work on it grew. I tend to lose interest in finishing fics when canon renders them completely incorrect and AU. I found this tonight in my folder of unfinished fics and while I actually intended to work on something else, I opened it, read it over quickly and felt suddenly inspired to finish it. Call it serendipity. So while reading this, keep in mind that absolutely nothing from season 6 has happened. I’ve mapped out House’s time in the asylum entirely in my own fashion. Let me know what you think!

Dedicated to laurenzorz, lauriestein and lissie_pissie, who have shown me nothing but enthusiasm and support during pre-reads.
