I went to the doctor again today, because I was prescribed capsules and I just can't swallow them; so I had the doctor prescribe me tablets instead. He was a new doctor at the practice and I really liked him! He made me feel at ease, was very friendly and smiled a lot. He asked about my law degree and I said I wasn't going to continue with it and that I'm thinking of going into Journalism or Web Design. He looked at me, smiled broadly and said, "Oh, that's very exciting!" He looked genuinely happy for me, haha. And I agree, it is very exciting. This put me in a good mood. :)

Speaking of web design, I found a PDA course in Perth College in Web Design that covers pretty much what I'm interested in. It should last only one year and it's a part-time course that runs from 6-9pm, which would be perfect for me if I got a job at Waterstones. It starts quite soon (in about a week and a half's time), but I should still be be able to apply for it. I asked a few specific questions about the course and am now waiting for a reply to my email before I apply. Hopefully there are no major entry requirements for this course, and if there are, then hopefully my knowledge of HTML and CSS, plus the fact that I've been designing websites for years, will help me in my application. But anyway, I'm very excited about it! This way I can see if I would enjoy studying computing, I can experience what working for clients is like, study at least the basics of some programming languages that I don't know very well and even get a certificate for it! :D

I also called in order to apply for a National Insurance number today. My appointment to prove my identity and submit my application for the NINO is on Monday morning, in Edinburgh. I would've done this sooner if I had known I needed one, but hopefully I'll get one before I get a reply to my job applications. From what I understand, I can technically work without a NINO, it just won't count towards my pension? Or something like that. I don't know how it works in terms of benefits and stuff like that. I've always been horrible at understanding this stuff.

That's about it, really. I'll go enjoy the rest of my day, since I feel so cheerful today. :D

P.S. I watched The Lion King II last night and now I have the song "Not One of Us" stuck in my head. XD

The past few days have been... weird. I've been feeling worse than usual health-wise and, because of it, I've missed all my lectures this week. Except reading some material for Property Law, I haven't done much this week. I feel like I should have done more, but I was feeling pretty bad and there's not much I could have done about it, so I'm not going to stress over it. I'm also feeling better today and I'm grateful for that.

I feel like there's a lot of stuff that I want to talk about (real life-wise and fandom-wise), but at the same time I don't know if these are 'spur of the moment' thoughts that will go away or if they're something I should really write down and get them off my chest. I guess I'll just wait and see if I still feel the need to write down this stuff.

Anyway, I watched Inception! Not sure I liked it though. ( spoilers under here, also a long rant )

So yeah... this post turned into an Inception rant, somehow. I didn't realise how much stuff I had to say about the film until I sat down and wrote it. Overall I felt like it was trying to be something 'deep' and 'amazing', but failed to explain its premise and the basics, not allowing me to really enjoy it. Sorry, Christopher Nolan. I love your Batman films, but this one really didn't do anything for me.

Anyway, if any of you guys wants to discuss the film, go ahead! I always love a good discussion. :D And if you have an answer or more to my questions, then feel free to post them! Maybe you'll help me fill the plot-holes!

Hello people from the awesome LJ → DW friending meme! I'm Chibi, nice to meet all of you! My basic info is on my profile, while a (sort of) intro post is right here. :D I also changed my DW layout for the occasion, haha.

This entry is going to be a mixture of fandoms and real life. We've had a lot of real life posts recently, so I want to balance things out a bit.

( real life: back at uni, ereader, computer stuff )

( fandoms: skyfall, the big bang theory, the hunger games, the it crowd; beware of SPOILERS )

And that's pretty much all. I need to start watching Once Upon a Time and finish the pilot of Elementary (but from what I've seen, I can tell I already love this show).

Also, I decided to start that 30-day meme that I posted some time ago, also in the hopes that it will make me update my journal more. Here goes! :D

( day 1: something you hate about yourself )

That's all for today!

Hello, LJ! First of all, new layout! I quite like it, I hope you guys like it too! :D

I cannot wait to see The Avengers. Andrew and I are going to one of these days, at the cinema in Perth. We've gone together to see Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows when it was released, too. Needless to say, I loved it! I liked the first Sherlock Holmes movie, but this one... this is what I was expecting from the first one. It was so brilliant, it seriously filled me with adrenaline and it was such an emotional roller-coaster. I'm a big fan of Moriarty and the rivalry between Holmes and Moriarty, I seriously left the cinema with a smile on my lips. This movie has definitely earned a place in my favourite movies list. ♥

On another fandom note, I've been watching The Big Bang Theory for a while - and by 'a while' I mean... some months. XD I never wrote about it 'cause it always slips my mind, haha. Anyway, I like it :D Sheldon has got to be my favourite character - he's just too funny and rational! Also, on a less important fandom note, I've also gone back to playing Phoenix Wright and Harvest Moon. So much fun!

For the time being, I'll just answer another one of those Writer's Block. damn they're addictive

Well, I guess right now I kind of live in two places - in Scotland and Italy. Which, I must say, sounds like quite a nice combination. :D

Anyway. Technically I'm living in Dundee, as I spend most of the year here to attend uni. My parents and friends, however, are back in Italy. I have to be honest - I've always wanted to leave Italy and I don't regret choosing to study Law in another country. I would have never had the chance of becoming a lawyer in Italy, seeing as no one in my family is a lawyer - and nowadays that's what really matters in Italy, sadly - who you know, not what exactly you're capable of doing. It might sound absurd or overdramatic, but that's exactly what happens. I am ashamed to say this, but it's nevertheless the truth.

I've been living in Dundee for almost an academic year now and I quite like it. I know where all the shops are, I know where the places to eat are, I found an hairdresser quickly, there are a couple of theaters, I know where the medical centre is if I feel sick - I know my way around (I only need to learn how the buses work and I'll be an expert! XD). However, to be honest, right now I can't see myself living in Dundee after I get my degree. I do love Scotland, though, so I might decide to live here, just not specifically in Dundee. But who knows, maybe that'll change over the years? To be honest, right now my goal is to get my Law degree and then we'll see what to do from there. As my mom says, 'One thing at the time'. So I don't want to over-think this stuff now, also because it's kind of pointless to worry about it now, when I've got to spend three more years in Dundee.

Will I ever go back to living in Italy? Seeing the nature of my degree, I think that's a very remote possibility. I've actually been thinking of the possibility of convincing my parents to come and live in the UK. I think their shop would benefit from it, too. But again, we'll think about that once I finish my degree - there's really no rush.

First entry of 2011... and I'm already telling myself I'm an idiot. XD; LMAO what a great start!

( the tale of how Chibi managed to nearly delete all of her files )

On a happier note, I spent two lovely days with my parents. ♥ My mother's cooking was exceptional and we ate a lot of fish, as usual. Then we watched some movies - Benvenuti al Sud (literally, 'Welcome to the South'), an Italian film about a man who had to go work near Naples (my city ♥) and it was really funny! XD My parents and I laughed a lot and we loved it. I also felt a bit nostalgic while watching it - it made me realize how much I miss Naples and how much I love it. ♥ And then today my parents watched a movie with Denzel Washington - Men on Fire. I watched the first half of the movie, but then it got violent and since I don't like violent movies that much, I decided to stop watching it. XD; It was good, though! I enjoyed it. My mother really likes Denzel Washington and I think he did a good job in this movie, too.

Oh, I also watched a movie on my own on New Years! (That was before I deleted all my files. XD) I stayed up late watching the fireworks and after those I kinda felt in the mood to watch a movie and, since I had recently finished *coughdownloadingcough* it... I watched Iron Man 2!! ♥ Oh gosh, I loved it! ( spoilers under the cut! )

And that's all for today! I hope all had a great start of the year! ♥ :D

I has a LEVERAGE ANIMATED MOODTHEME! :D Isn't it awesome? I love it to pieces! ♥ I am using the mood 'amused' because the gif is amusing, lol I am enjoying season 3 a lot, more than I imagined. Thank goodness, Elisabetta Canalis is just popping up randomly every two/three episodes or so, thus she's just a guest star and hopefully she will be leaving Leverage after the end of season 3. This makes me happy. :D

On other fandom notes, I've finally watched The Dark Knight and Public Enemies! Needless to say, I love both of them to pieces. ♥ Johnny was brilliant as always and in my eyes he really looked like he was cut for the part (but then again, Johnny is such an amazing actor, he's cut for all the parts they give him) and Christian Bale was made of pure win as well! In fact, I think I have become a fan of him after seeing those two movies. I am going to check out as many movies as possible with him, because now he's got me curious and I want to see more of his acting! :D And now I can't wait for The Dark Knight Rises! Which will probably come out in 2012, so that's two years of waiting... but it's okay, I'm patient. XD

Oh, and episode 4x09 of Gossip Girl? Win. Pure, utter and total W-I-N. Seriously. Except for Jenny, Vanessa and Juliet, who I found obnoxious as always, everything was fantastic. And by everything, I mean especially Chuck and Blair. Some of the best lines ever. ( cut for possible spoilers + a little video )

I was going to write a much longer entry, but right now I'm half-asleep and too lazy to write anything else. XD; I've also been tagged in a couple of memes, so I shall be doing those in my next entry. Until next time! :D

No school today~ It's Student's Day in Italy, so we students can take the day off! :D

Anyway, I feel really proud of myself. I've finished my German homework. I had to do a research on divorce which I will have to talk about in front of the class. First I wrote it in Italian, then I translated it in German (all by myself!) and I got my mistakes corrected by one of my classmates who speaks German very well - and, much to my surprise, I hadn't even made that many mistakes! I feel so good now that it's done. Well, I still need to make a power point file about divorce, but the most part is done. ♥ I'll definitely get a good mark on this! *is really determined*

This morning I woke up and it was 9 am. It's kind of weird, because I usually sleep until 10 or 10,30. Since I had nothing to do apart from german homework, I watched some films. Two were Italian films with three great italian actors (Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo) who always make me laugh, the last one was The Astronaut's Wife with Johnny Depp. ♥ It kind of scared me. I don't really like films about aliens and that kind of stuff - but Johnny did a wonderful job, as always! :D In fact, I watched it because Johnny was in it. He's so awesome~ ♥

( Tsubasa chapter 189! SPOILERS + CLAMP killing brains! )

Before I go, I must say one more thing - I love this song! ♥
Sugar, ohh,
Honey, honey,
You're my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
It puts me in a good mood~ :D

Yesterday I applied at new_sanctum. Guess which character I chose? (It's not that hard to imagine. XD;) Anyway, since it really does sound like fun, I think I'll apply also for other 2 characters that I'd love to play.

I watched "Moulin Rouge" some days ago and it's really good! The way they mixed tragedy and love with humor is just great! Some scenes really made me laugh, but the ending is so sad... I love that film! <3

Hi. ^_^ Yes, I know, I haven't written here for a long time. School (especially mine) is hard. U_U;

However, I had dinner with my class on Thursday evening. We had a lot of fun. xD But then, the day after we had the German test, which is not really funny. xD; I think I mixed possessive adjectives & pronouns all together. Geez. German is so confusing! ;_;
Today we had the first school assembly for all the morning, which is so relaxing... I really like it. ^^ Plus, we watched an italian film, "Notte prima degli esami" ("Night before the exams") and it was so funny! xD It's one of the best italian films I've ever seen.

Now I'm going to post some icons at afterain_icons. And I was wondering, would anyone be interested in a Sakura (from CCS & TRC) icontest? Since I couldn't find one, I thought I could run one, but it'll need members & banner makers. If you are interested, you can comment to this post. ^_^

Hi, my poor little useless LJ. xD;

I haven't posted a lot, even if I was on holiday. However, I have been busy on my... DOMAIN ^_^! Yeah, a domain! I've bought it on April 15 and opened it on April 25. There isn't a lot, but it's just born, so... ^^; Be patient.
I must upload also Reflection, which is going to be my FLs collective. I've already made a new layout (featuring Haine from Shinshi Doumei Cross *_*), while the layout of E-P features Maron from Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne. Well, I'm a little obsessed with Arina Tanemura. xD;

Uh, I also watched Mulan yesterday. It's one of my favourite Walt Disney films, and... well, I wanted to watch it, so I did. xD; Well, I'm almost 15 years old, but who cares? I love it! <3 (Especially Mushu xD, he's so cool!) I even thought to make the new layout of Reflection with some pictures of Mulan! ^^

Anyway, yesterday I found my old exercise book with my scary (xD;) drawings on it. Well, I thought they were a lot worst, but, more I watch them, more I think that I'm not that bad in drawing. I also found an old page of a manga made by me xD, OMG! It's not completely a disaster, I mean the story was good, but the drawings... not so much. xD; *laughs* But now the problem is: I want to draw! I wanna do it from the bottom of my heart, but... I'm not very good. ;_; Oh, it's such a cruel destiny... And when I see the other people's awesome drawings... I become more and more depressed. ^^;

But now I'm leaving... and I think I'll probably start to draw again. xD;
Bye bye!
