Dreamland- feel free to stay

so here is a very cautious and spontaneous update on what this cat is doing right now:

• i will start a training to prepare for something bigger comes the 12th.
  i am really excited about that but i also worry quite a bit- but at the moment you caught me in the exciting mood!



• i am doing the getyourwordsout 150k challenge again...
  and at the moment i am only 1k behind- so i might manage that



• i signed up for 2 rarepair_shorts challenges:
  
  
  
  
  1. the number game - and BOY my numbers RULE! and i plan on 5 ficlets out of it!!! its amazing!
  
  
  2. and the rare pair challenge with a nice table for charlie/draco that hopefully will turn out great!
  
  
  
  



• i am still working on my monthly hp_bunintheoven challenge with my blaise/severus pair



• i need to work something out for hp_shoreofangst fest! and make it intersting for you and me!



• and i am working on my 53 wips in intervals and changes and well things are cooking here



• i am also trying to get in shape and working towards getting to be able to do a hand stand and walk on my hands! i never could do that, and that is goal 1 for now - i already know goal 2 too, but that is not worth mentioning it yet



• living on my own has done wonders for my nerves and i am excited for spring cleaning in april and amazing visit at the end of the month! my first non-family sleep over! it will be awesome!

i hope you are all well too - i am not checking my feed as regularly as i used too and i am sure i missed loads of good and bad news from you, but i hope life treats you kind or at least hands you the means to stab it in the back!

because the last furniture has arrived and is set up!

all the boxes are gone, and everything has for now a place- some of the places are not certain yet and my table is still a little bit of a mess but everything is set up and running (except for one thing of course- my net connection is still not set up AND the place i have to set it up sucks and annoys me because reasons!) but yeah otherwise cat has moved and it was a success!

all that is now left is my laundry: i have 2 loads of clothes left and then all my bedsheets (which clock in around 2-3 loads) and my table cloths 1 load and then all is waschend and cleaned.

so cat is living the good life now- LOTS of space like you wont believe it, and all in order how i like it and even better peace and quiet- i am so, so happy.

so now this cat is going to hunt down an amazing job for herself!




( fandom to do list if you want to know )

so maybe you have noticed my absence and short replies and being not really active, posting nothing and writing and podficing even less (at least i partly did my modding duties, right?)
well that was because i was super busy trying to get a new job, which i can now happily state that i have!
yes this cat managed to land herself a nice good and secure new job!
it is still sales, because i like that very much, but i will now sell ppl very nice, high quality bathroom furniture! i am very excited about that!
if i manage to survive the first 3 months- because dont get me wrong it will be a hard job, and once again during work hours i will not be around because i'm neither allowed my cell or internet use- the job will be mine for as long as i want to <3 now what are you saying to that- WITH the high probability that i will become head of the department of bathroom furniture in the next 2 years! it is a fantastic chance for me and a new future and a big step in my life.
it also opens the possibility of me moving by july because as you know i have to be out of the flat by 30.8. so that will be a relief!
so yes that happened, besides health issues with my shoulder, and me finally going home to my cat for some days this weekend.

also i know writers always are looking for inspiration i have to share this with you:
10hours of everything
this is a youtube channel with 10h long sound tracks
i particularly recommend:
10h of nordic music if you are into it, you will like it


and with that i really dont have much to say...because i was busy life happened nearly without me, so yeah...
uhhh- just remembered:

so i had b-day on the 10th and celebrated my last 20 as i am now 29 years old. i'm so excited to turn 30! i know i should not expect much to change but somehow yes i do have expectations for when i am 30. mostly i want to be more responsible and more self-suffciant but that is for next year and this year i shall just enjoy!
as for you all on my dear f-list, you have been absolutely wonderful and amazing to me and so very, very kind!
THANK YOU ALL for all your kind and sweet wishes!
I was over excited for each and every one:
( all the dear and awesome messagesand gifts from lovely ppl i recieved and me saying thank you to them )

and then FINALLY it was monday and my dad, who fell ill the week before, came and took me shopping - my balcony is now ready for full-on spring and summer use (through i will go home for the very hot weekends because you know- pool) - and then he took me for a lovely late lunch *smirks* but before that we went to the STAR WARS IDENTITIES! exhibit which was in vienna!!!
there was stuff form george lucas' ranch!
the exhibit itself was nothing like i imagined it would be. it actually revolved around identities with very little of the social sciences crab but very detailed on biology, psychology and also group think theory and peer-pressure theories in the mix: it showed on the similarities between anakin skywalker and luke skywalker and their similarities and differences how we as a person are a product of the influences we get as a young child AND of the choices WE MAKE! that was really impressive
but not the best part: the best part was that you got a bracelet and could go around and BUILD your own star wars character!!!! that was just too cool!
(through i noticed because my dad took the gungans and i was a kaminoan (because i just adore them and the way the look) that some races where more integrated then others: for example my father had 3 different scenarios for "event of big influence" while i had only one (the destruction of my planet LOL) but that is the only negative point i could find, the exhibit was really interesting and i really tried to be me and still think in the head-space of a kaminoan...

at this point i would rather guess that what you really are interested in would be the nice pictures i took
and let me tell you i took loads of pics so this truly is a picture spam, but these are images form the original story-board- how could i resist? especially when you will later see how stunning they are
sadly most of the time, when my father forgot to remind me i did not take a picture from the description *sorry*
i can add them from the books if there will be a need, but i think most of them are self-explaining


( may the picture-spam beginn )

so if i have not lost you now completely to the pictures (and yes i look at them way to often too the art is just catching) i shall finish my report: i got myself a nice lovely t-shirt, and my dad got himself a nice poster and the special edition box from this exhibition (i forgot to take a picture of it when i was at home and had a chance to do so *headdesks*)
all around i had a really awesome day! and it was a really cool b-day gift for me

that week i also had unsuspected leave of work because i had to many hours and so i put my balcony together which i am very happy as i know am growing some tomatos and strawberries and radish!
it took me 4 days and each day up to 5h it really has been a lot of work, but it also was so worth it *happy grin*

and as i am now going to close this entry for certain here are pics from my little furry cat (as themightyflynn asked for that) and one of my roommates cat

( even more pics )

and for the last point:

1. i handed in podfic-fest *go me*


2. i really, really want to do write fests but i cant because no words - but gosh have you seen what all is going to start claiming soon *headdesks* but no i cant and shant because i have a huge- ass to do list for writing and i have not written for over a month at this point


3. i'm healthy and good and due to workout have lost some weight and fit in my old cloths again!


4. i have no news on the job-front through.... my own fault i know but it is rather hard atm


5. i'm working constantly on my thesis so that is progress!


6. i am mostly good and having fun :D and doing a lot of baking and good eating LOL

so- you have done it, this is the end:
May the force be with you!!!

let's talk one more time about last year, and then it shall go down in history and be done with on my part

so really owl-fest this year was amazing and much fun to participate!
i tried to leave a comment on ALL the entries- and i think i only left out 2 or 3 because they had squicks/hard dislikes in for me! i also left comments on most of the mini_fest's entries, as long as i liked the paring and there was no squick- which this year too had an amazing and really looooong run!
i left so many comments through out december that i was starting to think that maybe i spam the posts... and had to fight with myself not to chicken out XD

lets come to the picture heavy part of todays post:

so i've been away for the weekend- back to my paternal home because my mother celebrated her 50th birthday
and loads of stuff happened

( my sleep deprived state of mind )

( my mother's bday party )

( my mother's sister )

( my life alone )

well, my life-rant is over, finally and now that i have written most of it down i feel calmer again *lucky me for having this journal*
on the other hand OMG ppl i'm so excited!!!
there will be hd_owlpost postings starting today - and CAN you believe it i handed it in in time- no extensions - that i managed that is due to awesome beta! i would never have managed it without her!
also saras_girl story will start today too
and there is going to be hd_erised and the slythindor100 advent writings yay for december!

also as time moves forward i have to give more attention back to hp_shoreofangst so that the prompting will go smoothly comes february!
EXCITEMENT!

and because i have some humor left - i laughed hard at this pic:

like butter over too much bread (TLOR I)

so yeah i am back and boy there was drama in store for me...
i havent really the time to go into details now
i have like 3 to-lists with more than 25 tasks that all should have been done at the beginning of september- but no one did them and now i have to taggle them down because... reasons i dont really get myself; when i dont work on them or do writing i am either asleep or on public transport- i was never so happy to have such a long train ride to work- i can read and nap in that time, otherwise my reading list would be exploding again too... also thank the gods for mobile internet!

i have like 20 mails to write- not even counting all my lj- messages i need to reply (which i dont do mobile because the keyboard on my mobile phone sucks)
i only wish my day would have more hours- that that would not help me seeing as how tired i am most of the time

also today i was told- and i am not joking: "You are good in English so of course you are going to help, its the polite thing to do"
if anybody please can riddle me how being good in english is connected to do polite things i would be very thankful- i fail to see the connection and that damn reason was applied for a whole page of to-list - need to learn to say NO
i try and i did- and other stuff gets just showed in the back.... again

best part is a friend telling me: "if you had a man, you wouldnt be in that much trouble" - really how would a relationship- which are huge time suckers and take a lot of work and effort help me at the moment?
but really i am to tired and to busy to get angry about that
i shall report more later - i got loads to tell
and there might not be a list thing this month because honestly i'm scared at looking at what i am all NOT doing *shudders*
but i will return hopefully - well i am positive about it

on a funny end not i found this amazing picture:
i so would like to see that happen in real life XD

so tonight i couldn't sleep i was way to worried about everything and just really on the edge
i looked every ten min at my mobile to check for the time and then my roommate got up- and i waited for her to leave, so i know it was closer to my get- up- time; it took fucking ages!
but finally i got up and went to work
and work in the mornings is really bad and hasty and way to much stress for me- i'm so not cut out for it...
but i survived
but the BEST part was my boss telling me, 'it's all a mistake. i simply forgot to switch the weeks, but yes you are having the next to weeks off', without me having to do or say anything
*is so relieved its incredible*
so yeah, i have time off, and i will try to calm down and relax and unwind and let the things just flow as they go

i find this awesome cake so disturbingly awesome - i have to share it with you to let you away with an disturbing, awesome picture of a cake in mind

first THANK YOU all so much for your kind words!
I really needed to hear them- and i will reply to them, but just not today- not up for it today

because today
as i just did a quick check up of my duty roaster- there was not only my shift changed to a time i would totally miss my train (paid ticked no exchange)
but also a whole week of my holiday was gone
two things which i have to fight over tomorrow...
i'm just shocked and scared and honestly.... i dont know anymore, no clue here

... there still was no mouse to play- because cat came back early!

( real life play-time )

but otherwise i'm totally bouncy and alright and since i am not on sick- leave, and go to work and all that stuff it can't be anything too serious, it's just about time to make my mornings easier for me- so I AM FINE and doing alright (mostly)
well anyways lets do the funny list thing again XD

( lists, lists, and more lists )
