Where Juniper is made to Gin

Happy Birthday, alisanne!!! I hope you have a great day (and don't let anyone annoy you)!

Yesterday one of our 4 turtles broke out of their fenced area in the garden. Unfortunately we didn't catch him while he did it, but only noticed that he was gone when we did the usual headcount. I found that he escaped through the lavender (over the branches, up, then using some other branches as a slide), but not even a long search in the garden was fruitful. We even borrowed the dog of a friend to help us look.

Now, we found him again. Or rather my mother did - and I would say it is kinda per accident. To cut this short (because I'd be shit at explaining) I give you a drawing instead:



Oh yeah, and the red/green dot is our appartment house/garden. My turtle certainly didn't take that way, but rather went through holes in fences. He had to cross a military (yes, indeed) parking lot before that, though.

Additionally to the turtle tale: My sister had her goodbye party yesterday (she's leaving for France - sadly nowhere near the Merlin crew - tomorrow) and we had a nice BBQ in the garden with her friends.

One of the best things about summer: I wake up and instead of dragging my tired body to the kitchen, I drag it to the garden. And I don't care that the guys from the military HQ next door or the people in the little steel-bending company next doors can see me sitting here in my pyjamas. :D

Yessssss! Team Snitch for the WIN!

Support Team Snitch - Reaching for Gold!

I checked all my .docs save one which I can't open. Of course that one is likely to be my snarry games fic. *is not impressed* Ah well. Coffee now, then writing! Hooray!

O___O I just saw/heard on TV that Rupert Grint had pig flu.

Also: Sorting through my .doc files (OMG SO MANY) to find snarry fic. Found my NoNoWriMo novel! HOORAY!

Edit of course I didn't find the fic. There are some docs that I can't open - will try tomorrow with a computer that has the newest Office programs. Also: I scrolled through the jpegs to see if my pictures were still there and I found some. Good news! Weird news: I also found pics that I have never seen before. Most of them are porn. O___O And pretty dirty porn at that. How the hell did those get on my hard-drive? Additionally I got pictures of people that I don't know and a massive amount of StarTrek pictures (yay, StarTrek!) that I haven't seen before either...

OMG people, there's a light at the end of the tunnel! Well, the tunnel of computer-woes that is. XD My IT-guy had actually found data on my harddrive and we are now copying and restoring it on an external harddrive. It's taking FOREVER!!! but that's fine because OMG MY DATA! We don't know what files survived exactly and there might be some data-loss, but I have hope that everything is going to be alright.

Still rewriting the snarry_games fic though, just to be sure. And apart from some minor things I think it will be even better than the first version. I hope.

And now to celebrate (and round up the evening after stuffing myself) my sister's boyfriend will make a G&T for me! Hooray!

A friend gave me a youtube link to a TV special about HBP. It has been interesting at first, though I feel annoyed that they keep calling Rupert, Dan, Emma & the others 'kids' when they are either bordering to or already are in their twenties. And that the director said that filming the love scenes was easy, because the actors feel exactly like the characters at the moment makes me go O___o because, well, Harry & Co are 16 in the books. And there's a big difference between 20 and 16, if you ask me.

Just now I had to start twitching though, because the presenter of that special introduced the 'evil Draco' and his 'evil mother and wicked aunt'. ... EVIL?! Draco isn't exactly a happy bunny, but to just call him evil... How shallow is that? Hmpf.

I should go to bed. Have to go to work tomorrow, have tons of red tape to look forward to and - ha! - my laptop is still dead. Good news on the fic front though: I already wrote about 1/3 of what I had originally. ... Weirdly enough I'm still at the beginning of the story.

Edit It just got worse. SIBERIUS SNAPE?!?! God, that hurts!

Looks like the hard-drive is dead. I might get something back when an IT-guy that I know comes here Thursday or Saturday, but that isn't exactly a sure thing now. So yeah, no snarry fic, no novel, no pictures from Finland, no bloody nothing at all.

My computer is not starting properly. I see the loading screen and stuff, but when the normal desktop should appear everything is black. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Whyyyyy?! I just finished my snarry fic! And the newest writings are on there! My passwords! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Currently I'm on my mum's tiny little e-pc thingy and we have 4 laptops in the household, so I won't be without connection, but ... but ... MY FILES!!!!

Have to go back and try to fix this. ACK.

Edit Last night I thought about posting my fic to our team comm, but was too tired to do anything. Thought I could do it this morning. You know what I call this? I call it FAIL!!! Utter and horrible fail. *headdesk*

... I think I'm done with the rough version of my snarry_games fic. Now some touch-ups, beta-reading and pep-talk and I might even be able to make the deadline... PHEW!!!

Just came back from watch HBP. It was bloody brilliant, if you ask me. Hooray!!!

I've a drawing with a scowling Snape and a shocked Harry. Need text.

What do you think of:

"what your heart desires"???

Or any other ideas? Need answer quick, cause I got to make this shirt before I leave for the preview tonight (aka in 3 hours).

Edit here is the piccy

At least not now. Because they deserted me! I will be seeing the Harry Potter Preview all alone, because they are wimps who don't want to see the movie in English or are just plain lazy. Honestly, I haven't read the books in German since book 5 came out (though I own the German copies) and I don't know the HP words in German. Meh. Besides, I hate dubbing most of the time.

So yeah, I'm going alone. But I don't care, since I'll be able to see the movie, hooray!

( my comment )

*sobs*

I can only watch bits and pieces of episode 3 of Torchwood's Children of the Earth. Does anyone have a link or something, pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaase? *bats eyelashes* I need need need to watch more!

Fucking HELL! O___O

OMG just started watching Torchwood's Children of the Earth and OMG it's creeping me out. I wish I had BB here so I could cling on him. And yet I have to direct a squee towards Ianto. *goes back to watching*

Did I ever tell you that I have managed to avoid reading anything about the HBP movie or see any pictures or even see any trailer for it? I will not be spoiled in any way!

I just read that Billy Nighy will play a character in the Deathly Hallows. The little news-thingy also said that people believe he'll be Rufus Scrimgeour, buuuuuut I think he'll be Luna's dad. Or is someone else already signed up for that role?

O___O Need to watch more Stark Trek. Need to write Star Trek fic. Don't care that I have fests to finish. Need Star Trek. O___O

... now off to gym to distract me from teh shiny.

[Edit] Back from the gym. I made an icon. And now ... can I please drag off Bones into my bedroom?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, drachenmina!!!

If you'd like to have a b-day drabble just give me a prompt (or several :P).

*throws confetti*

Like BB and I noticed: Gin is having her silly day today! Hooray for being silly and ignoring the shit that the world serves us! Drink more coffee, folks, eat more sugar, let your inner silliness out!!!

I need a pick me up. Can anyone rec me some fluffy (or at least happy) Snarry? Or just something that is not too angsty, not too epic and will help me get into a better mood? Please?

So yeah. Just an hour ago our kitchen-cupboards crashed down from the wall. My sister was in the kitchen, but managed to literally jump out of harms way and into the garden. We lost a lot of cups, plates, bowls, and glasses, but no-one is hurt, so that's okay. Thank God our turtles were also in the garden. God.

Aaaah, I really shouldn't read present tense fics before trying to write fic myself! Suddenly everything is in present tense!!!

I think I'm having a little bit of a panic attack. I was just counting my seminars at uni and I realised that, once the stuff that I did here in Finland gets accepted, I have everything that obligatory to graduate.
...
I'm feeling a little bit lightheaded.
