of real life & fandoms
HELLO, DREAMWIDTH! I'm really excited to be posting here for the first time. :D I've been meaning to write here for a long time, but some things prevented me from posting earlier...
So, first things first: hello to all the new people I friended on DW! ♥ I'm Chibi and this journal is mostly about fandoms and real life. I still don't have an official intro post, although I'm planning to make one soon. If you have accounts on other sites (such as twitter, tumblr, myanimelist, etc.) and if you want to add me there too, just let me know! :)
Okay, so. There's a lot of stuff I need to write, so this entry will be mostly bullet points so I don't get confused. Also, I'm going to divide real life updates and fandom updates. Here we go!
REAL LIFE
▶ University: I did okay on my exams. I missed one due to health issues, so I will have to retake that one in autumn, but I'm not too bothered about it. There's really nothing I can do at this point, except waiting for summer to be over and revise for it (again), so it's pointless to worry about it. It still bothers me a bit, but not as much as it did before. I guess the only small thing that bothers me is that the examiners actually considered my absence an "unauthorized absence", so it still counts as a fail, even though I didn't actually fail the exam, seeing as I wasn't there. I don't really blame the system - it's my fault for missing the exam in the first place, so. I just wish I hadn't missed the exam.
▶ But why did I miss the exam? Well, here come my health issues. This is only me speculating, as I didn't actually go to the doctor for it, but while I was revising for my last exam, the stress really got to me. I think it was a mix between stress, being homesick and generally feeling blah... I tried to revise, but I couldn't do it properly - instead I spent hours crying. Why? I don't know. I spent lots of time on my own (I genuinely couldn't bring myself to go downstairs and see Andrew's family), I really wanted to go home, the exams were stressing me out like hell, at some point I even started thinking that Andrew's family hated me... right now it's a bit of a blur when I think about it, I guess lots of bad feelings just collided all at once. In the middle of all this, I got the exam date wrong and it wasn't until it was too late that I found out I had missed the exam. I felt bad some more, because seriously, who gets the date of an exam wrong? (I can be a very self-loathing person and despite everything I was feeling, I still blamed myself for feeling bad, making myself feeling even worse in the process... yeah, not nice at all.) Andrew and his family were really worried about me and it wasn't until Andrew comforted me and hugged for a good couple of hours that I finally started to get better.
Right now I'm okay. I still can't fully understand why I started feeling like that all of a sudden - I guess all the stress just played some nasty tricks on me... I'm thinking of getting into meditation or something of the sort, so I don't get stressed out next year.
▶ All of this brings me to my next health issue: recently my stomach has been acting weird. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to be sick, but in the end I'm not. It's very weird and I hate it. It's been happening for a while now, maybe more than a couple of weeks, and I'm considering going to a doctor and see if anything can be done about it.
▶ I don't know exactly when I'm going back to Italy... before the end of June for sure. I feel kind of scared at the thought of going back, since there have been quite a few earthquakes recently... I know it sounds weird, but I'm just scared of earthquakes. But I am going back... at some point. XD;
Man, all rl updates seem to be very depressing... XD; But here come the happy fandom updates!
FANDOM
▶ I started watching Revenge. I'm at episode 2 now, but man, it's good. Needless to say, Emily/Amanda is my favourite character. I want to know what happened to her father so badly. I seriously need moar of this tv show.
▶ I went to see the Avengers some time ago. Needless to say, I liked it. ♥ Everyone was amazing, although we all know whomy eyes are set on my favourite actor is... RDJ. ♥♥♥ Also, seeing Tony and Pepper together made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. They're so lovely together, I can't even. ♥ I can't wait for Iron Man 3!
Also, now I have a massive crush on Loki. I seriously need to watch Thor now.
▶ Watching the Avengers has made me like some new ships, such as: Tony/Bruce, Thor/Loki and Tony/Loki (just sometimes). Plus, I'm guilty of shipping some crossover pairings with Loki... Right now my most favourite is Loki/Daenerys (from Game of Thrones). I mean. Those two. They look so pretty together, and they both have brothers and and and... AHH WHAT CAN I SAY, I HAVE WEIRD TASTES.pleasedon'tjudgeme
This video is what won me over and made me ship this pairing. It's all kinds of awesome.
▶ I have a new celebrity crush: Jesse Eisenberg. ♥ It's kind of a weird crush, because I've only heard of him and all I've watched that featured him was a short film (like, 20 minutes short film). I know all the movies he's in, but I haven't actually gotten around to watch them... yet. But I fully intend to! His interviews are also very nice to listen to... not to mention pretty funny! XD Hopefully I'll be able to wach The Social Network soon... even though you all know what I think of Facebook, lol!
▶ I played Final Fantasy XIII some more... now I'm at chapter 12. As I expected, I love all the characters. ♥ And I'm loving the gameplay.
▶ The Hobbit is supposed to come out this December. It's gonna be awesome. Awesome, I tell you.
▶ Gossip Girl season 5 ended a month ago or so. It was the worst season finale I've ever watched on television. I'll write my thoughts about it in the next post... I don't want to make this post longer than it already is. XD
Also, due to my new fandom obsessions(i.e. Loki/Daenerys) I've actually discovered the awesomeness that is Tumblr. I changed my username because I didn't like the one I had before, so if anyone wants to add me, I'm skywinged over there! :D My Tumblr is still quite empty, basically because I don't know what to put there and I feel embarrassed about reblogging other people's stuff... for now XD; I'm hopeless, I know
Well, that's all for now! Expect another update soon. :) Also, I might start a 30 days meme or something... just so I can update more. Until next time! :D
