I never thought this would happen, but I actually forgot my LJ password. And for some reason I just couldn't be arsed to fix it. Lots of catching up to do, obviously, but, um. Hi!

Short personal update: I'm currently doing my internship at NodeOne and it's all kinds of awesome, I'm really liking it there. Will be graduating this spring, which is very much yay. Still not completely over stupid boy :/ (jesuschristcanitjustgoaway) but have met lots of interesting new people this year and that is helping a whole lot. Have tentative plans to move as soon as I get a job, and I think I may have reached the very surprising conclusion that I don't really want a new horse, at least not at the moment. o_O

Otherwise having a very boring Friday (alternating between being horrified about Japan and being bored out of my wits) and hence the fixing of the Great Password Problem of 2010-2011.

I'm off to Boston for a few days! :D:D.d

Flying via Iceland and I MEANT to contact hildigunnur and see if she wanted to hang out at the airport (WHAT. LOTS OF FUN, THAT.) or something for a little while, but I SUCK and FORGOT. I've been a little stressed. I had TWO passport scares. Tends to take your mind off of other things.

(passport now safely packed.)

EeeeEEEEEEEE!! :D:D:D:DD:Slkhs

I just had a wisdom tooth extracted, and while it didn't exactly hurt and was quick and went well and all that, I still DISLIKE the procedure. It was my second time, and - lucky me! - I have two more to look forward to.

So now I'm (1) swollen, (2) still numb, and (3) deathly afraid of the PAIN. Last time, I spend a few hours crying in bed, because the pain was so bad. I've already taken both ibuprofen (which dentist said was The Shit for tooth related pains) and paracetamol. I also have some leftover prescription painkillers ready, JUST IN CASE.

I shall now commence bed rest and fanfic reading. :D Bring it on, pain. I am ready.

Thought they were nice comparison shots.

I've been studying (or rather, fretting over the fact that I was NOT studying...) for an exam this past weekend, and today I took it. And it went ok. And I'm so relieved.

Evidently I'm so relieved that I just HAD to post about it.

RELIEEEEEF. Good feeling.

I have been internetless for over two weeks. But now I have it back. My sweet, precious internet. *holds it close*

HAPPU NOO YEER!

Hopefully yay, anyway. :D

I have neither the means (no TV) nor the inclination to follow Swedish Idol, but a comment made on a forum I visit made me go youtube-ing for videos of the final three contestants. I didn't like any one of them very much. What I am wondering is WHY THE HELL THIS GUY is not one of them?!

Singing You're the Voice, Imagine, The Scientist, Grace Kelly, Baby one more time, Roxanne, Livin' on the Edge, I don't feel like dancing, a bad quality Live and Let Die, and California dreamin.

SERIOUSLY, SWEDISH PEOPLE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. D: D: I especially like... okay, let me put it this way, Grace Kelly, The Scientist and Imagine were good, the others, I kind of almost loved. <3 Okay, so I especially liked his take on Baby one more time, he gave it a seriousness I didn't think it had.

<3 <3

The fan fiction thing? I kind of blew that, believe it or not. I had to use an article about real person fic written about a popular Swedish artist (another Idol contestant, heh) as a starting point, so I kind of went into bandslash (YEAH I KNOW WTF) and LotRiPS, and via a little side trip into Dan/Emma to Harry Potter and TV show fic. But I made the mistake of thinking I didn't have to really prepare this thing, as I know the subject inside and out, which meant I was kind of rambly and unfocused. >.< Teacher said that what I said was good, but it took me too long to actually say it, so I... passed. But that was it. Which kind of sucks, since I've got an A on everything else.

But that's irony for you! Scraping a pass the one time you actually know what you're talking about, and getting A's when you're just pulling things out of your ass.

Now that my iTunes library is connected to decent speakers, I'm going through an Audioslave/Chris Cornell phase (with a leeetle bit of Soundgarden thrown in for good measure). GOD HIS VOICE. It's like. EARGASM.

I promise I'll stop spamming LJ with nonsense entries... soon. ish.
