Alive

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:36:52 GMT

Hey! I've been gone for a while now so I thought I'd say hello and that I'm alive ;) The past half year was just a little to hectic and I barely had time to read fics (think about that, horrible!!) But I think this year will be a little calmer.. Well, I hope so anyway and I started this year with finishing Twisted Fate - yes, people, after pretty much one and a half year the story has come to an end! I was seriously shocked when I realized I posted the story 06/08/2007. Has it really been that long?

Anyway, I just sent the story to my beta and then I'll write the epilogue! Hope someone's still interested in reading :) Oh, and by the way - does anyone know what happened to Squawks? I've been gone for so long that I have no ideas what's going on in the fanfic universe :P Have a great week, people!

Not Fade Away

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 13:47:01 GMT

I watched the last Angel episode last night (I know, can't understand how it took me so long to finish it but what can I say? I wanted to savor the wonderful show lol). I got the same feeling as when I saw Chosen, it felt so rushed somehow... I'm not one for open endings either so I was a bit disappointed but I do understand why they ended it like that.

I thought that I'd feel more sad in the end of the episode, but what surprised me the most was that I almost started to cry at the last sight of Lorne :) His last words on the show touched me more than Angel's. I don't know why really, but I guess it was just the way he said it and how he had acted during the whole episode. Lorne has always been one of my favorite character but I didn't think I'd miss him the most :) That's really weird... I knew about Wesley and sure I thought his last scene was sad but not as much as I thought it would be.

As you may guess I was pretty confused last night :) Sorry for the rambling, just felt I needed to write a bit about it. Will stop now :)

Learning Spanish

Sat, 20 Oct 2007 10:35:44 GMT

Wow, I was so happy when I saw the reviews for Twisted Fate. It had been a while since I last updated and I was so glad to see that people are still reading, so thank you, all of you who are reviewing and reading! I wrote the next chapter last night, thanks to you guys. Just sent it to my beta.

I've spent the last hours studying for two Spanish tests I have next week and I started to become really frustrated when I found this awesome site. The book we have is really not good, there's no explanations for how to use preterite tense for example which is one of the things the test is about. So, when I found this English site where you can learn Spanish through quizzes, texts and such as I was so happy and it really works! I've been sitting her for hours now and it feels like I've learned so much more from this site than the book - pretty sad really :)

For those of you who have the same problem I really suggest that you visit http://www.studyspanish.com, believe me, it works! I will definitely use this one in the future, I have Spanish three times a week in school and the teacher isn't really that great. Also pretty sad because I go to a school that's specialized in languages. Well, I love it anyway. Can't wait till next year when we'll start learning Latin, French, Italian and German. Well, that was me, rambling, now I'll go back to study :)

The Lost Boys and people liking Buffy

Sun, 02 Sep 2007 15:57:20 GMT

Acting on impulse is sometimes pretty good!

Yesterday I bought The Lost Boys just for fun and it turned out to be a good choice! I'm a big fan of 24 so I had so much fun watching Kiefer Sutherland play the blonde (!) bad ass vampire. And I have to say that even if this movie is 20 years old he still looks great! (Not abandoning James, promise!) My second favorite vampire though ;)

The movie itself wasn't that great but it's still a good one I'll watch in the future too. I even got my brother to watch it and he usually sighs a lot, emphasising a lot, when it comes to vampires. He thought this one was pretty good, but he actually admitted Buffy was better *yay*

Speaking of vamps - when I was on my way to school a few days ago I met a guy from my class and we talked a little about books because we have to read one until next week in Swedish. We just happened to talk about other books too and he said I should read one I don't remember the name of right now but anyway... After a while he said: "Oh, I forgot. It's a vampire book. Do you like those ones?"
Guess if we had something to talk about on our way to school :)
He's a really nice guy too, easy to talk with. Fun to know that there's a few people my age out there in Sweden who likes vamps, but he looked a little sceptical when I mentioned Buffy though ;)

I've just written two more chapters of Twisted Fate. Hopefully will my beta contact me soon, I really want to hear what people will think about them! Also, I probably will add a new story, All-human one too, to Spuffy Realm this week depending on if Chriss want another story to beta. That remains to be seen :)

Chapter 25 of Twisted Fate

Sat, 01 Sep 2007 16:33:50 GMT

Finally Saturday. Thank god. After only two weeks in school, I'm exhausted. Wonder how I'll feel one-two months from now...

Yesterday I updated Twisted Fate, a little bit later than I thought I would but I was stuck with chapter 26 and I usually like to have one or two chapters ready before I post another one. I knew what I wanted out of the chapter and yet it was so hard to write, well not hard... I just couldn't get started. But I think it turned out well in the end after all. It got a little longer than the rest too, 5 pages in word.
I also updated the layout here at the LJ, finally figured out how to do it *yay me* :) I'm just not one for reading instructions...

Well, I should go and prepare the dinner so I can watch some Angel season 5 later :) Really love that season... Watched Life Of The Party this morning and my god, I was laughing. Spike is just so funny in that episode. "This might be the greatest song ever written", "What a fantastic entrance!", "Ooh, ooh! Me! Me! I'm your people person"...

Pics from Buffyworld.com

Spike: "You pissed in the big man's chair? That's fantastic!"
Gunn: "Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy?"
Spike: "What, the Lorne thing? Wore off. I just think that's bloody fabulous."

I could watch it all day long :) Anyway, food calling...

Longing for England

Sun, 26 Aug 2007 14:41:13 GMT

I'm currently trying to convince my parents and brother to go to England. I just love it even though I've never been there. When two of my friends went there this summer for three weeks I was even more tempted to go but I had no money at the time so I couldn't.

I was watching the movie Driving Lessons (starring Rupert Grint and Julie Walters) and that was it, I so wanna go there! I love the nature, the cities... Everything :) I talked to my mom about it and she just frowned and said we could go to Norway instead. She said that if it was the nature and so on that was the most important thing to see, going to Norway would be as going to England - only much closer.

But it's not only that. I love the English language and I want to get better so that's one big reason. Well, I think I convinced her. So, now my dad and brother remains... :)

Ideas Thanks To...

Sat, 25 Aug 2007 22:31:44 GMT

Oh, I'm still alive! School and real life has just been a little too busy lately - almost so busy I haven't had time to write. But I guess the first weeks will be the most hectical. Hopefully it will get a little calmer later on.

I do enjoy going to school though, believe it or not. I'm reading a lot of languages and I'm having so much fun. Latin, Frensh, Spanish, English... Who knows? Maybe I'll start writing fics in Spanish? :) No, not anytime soon at least. But it's a real good training.

Speaking of languages. I had this English essay last week. We got to read the headline of a text, but not the text. Just four words and then we were going to write a story about what we thought it could be about. At first I thought it was impossible and I had absolutley no imagination. Then wops!
I just started to write to get it going and it turned out to be a five pages essay (and it was supposed to be 2!) The best part though was when I wrote it, I couldn't help but picture Spike and Buffy in it. I even named the main character William and for a while I let the main character go by the name Buffy, though I changed it later. My teacher would probably wonder what I was thinking about... Anyway - I got this whole new idea about a fic that I will start to write as soon as I have finished Twisted Fate.

Speaking of; chapter 22 is up at Spuffy Realm!

Twisted Fate

Sat, 14 Jul 2007 20:20:27 GMT

Yey, finally and update of Twisted Fate! Hope you haven't gotten tired of it, I took sometime I know. But I got sick and went on vacation, and my beta had a lot of work going on so... Now, I got two chapters though :) Just posted chapter 12, the next chapter will be up in two days or so. Thought I should say that :)

R.I.P Bia

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 12:16:13 GMT

I feel that I need some time away from all of the dust in my room and spend some well deserved time with my computer ;) I've done some serious cleaning of my room and it was really necessary. Since my dog sleeps in the room (usually in my bed!) it gets dirty pretty fast. Now, it's better though.

Speaking of the dog; we're going to the veterinary surgeon tomorrow. I think he's got an infection in the eye. He's been peering for a few weeks now, now and then. I really hope it isn't something serious...

Well, I think I'll go and write chapter 14 of Twisted Fate. I just sent chapter 13 to my beta so soon people, you'll be able to read more :) I'm really grateful to everyone who's been reviewing, I really didn't think that so many people would read my fic!
Btw, we're can I get those incredible icons? :) Or are you doing them by yourselves?

Oh, well, seems like I will have to write on the new chapter later since we're going to the graveyard now. My grandfather passed away a year ago today and we're inviting my grandmother over here after we've been to his grave. It's weird how fast this year has gone... I can't believe it was a year ago since I saw him for the last time. Yesterday I saw a man who wore a similar jacket like the one my grandfather had and I got all teary. Guess I'm a bit oversensitive lol, but we were really close, him and I. I really miss him.
So, I'll write something later ;)

First entry

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 22:07:57 GMT

So, my first entry here! I decided to get a LJ while talking to some people at Spuffy Realm, what can I say? I just went with the flow :) Thanks to Pet, Jadangel2001 and Smlcspike for getting me here!

Right now I'm pretty bored though so I won't bother you with a long entry with me complaining. I've been sick for a few days but it's getting better! I really don't want to be sick right now... I have to meet up with some friends I haven't met in like... forever! It's really weird how fast time goes by...

Since I've got nothing better to do I did a test at blogthings.com which I found at Pet's LJ, which language I should learn. It turns out that I should learn... Swedish! Ironically huh?

You Should Learn Swedish

Fantastisk! You're laid back about learning a language - and about life in general. Peaceful, beautiful Sweden is ideal for you... And you won't even have to speak perfect Swedish to get around!

What Language Should You Learn?

You Are a Cappuccino

You're fun, outgoing, and you love to try anything new. However, you tend to have strong opinions on what you like. You are a total girly girly at heart - and prefer your coffee with good conversation. You're the type that seems complex to outsiders, but in reality, you are easy to please

What Kind of Coffee Girl Are You?
Well, that's pretty much right :) One of my favourites anyway.

Well, I see that I won't stop writing if i don't stop now so I'll just go and work on chapter 14 of my Spuffy story Twisted Fate. You can find it here.

So... :)
