♫ you make my heart beat faster

Hello guys! I'm writing from Andrew's house. Nothing super exciting has happened this week, but I thought I'd write an entry anyway. Much like the last entry, this is going to be divided in real life and fandom updates.

real life: andrew being awesome, my nausea coming back, more computer stuff )

fandoms: more big bang theory and mockingjay (SPOILERS) )

And now it's time for a meme! I saw everyone doing this, so I thought I'd give it a shot, too. Here goes!

meme )

That's all for today. I know it isn't much of an update, but I just wanted to write a quick update. I hope you're all doing well! ♥

I'm back again! With more good news!

Surprise, surprise! An LJ post from me, FINALLY! :D Gosh, why do I always tend to disappear once March comes along? Mh, maybe it has something to do with spring? You know, I actually wrote two entries that I meant to post here, but I didn't find the time to and then they just got old and I had to edit them, but I couldn't, so in the end I didn't post any of those two entries. D: And then it suddenly hit me that it's MAY and I should really update my LJ! Not to mention I've been really missing you guys!! So here I am! ♥

I've got lots of news - mainly great news, with a few bad news. I'll start with the great news first - I'll try to give you a short summary... though it might not be short at all. XD;

Good news! University! Scotland! New computer! /insert keyboard smashing happiness here )

Bad news: can't work at my family's shop anymore + other info on what I'm doing right now )

And... yeah, that's all I can think of at the moment. I wanted to keep it short, but instead I rambled a lot... and I don't think I've said all the things I needed to say. XD; I need to catch up with all of you and start re-using twitter (I forgot to install TweetDeck on my new computer and thus forgot again about twitter /fail orz). At least now you know what has been going on in my life. I'll try to keep you all updated, if not by LJ, then at least by twitter. :)

What else...? Oh, right. I can't wait to talk to all of you again!! ♥

good news!

Problem resolved, guys! :D This morning I called UCAS's Customers Service Units and after a couple of minutes I was able to solve the problem and now my application is being processed! ♥ I was so scared/nervous of calling, but it didn't go that bad! XD The guy who picked up the phone was really nice and polite (which to me is a big pro, because sometimes when we phone to some Italian customer service the people who pick up the phone don't act professional at all). He even pronounced my name right (foreign speakers also have trouble with my name)! Ohohoh~ *thumbs up* 8Db And asdfghjkl THAT BRITISH ACCENT. ♥ I had to make an effort in order to listen to what he was saying, 'cause that accent was distracting. XD After the call, I wanted to call Customer Service Units again, just to hear that accent over the phone, hahaha~ ... wait. Am I fangirling over a phone call? XD

Anyway. Sorry to make you all worry. ♥ Everything's okay now. :D

And nowww... meme time~ (as always XD)!

Ten Days Meme )
day six: five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever) )

Oh, by the way, if any of you wanted me to give you five fandoms on the last meme, then just tell me and I'll gladly do so. :D Sometimes I'm so absent-minded when it comes to memes. XD;

joyful joyful

I am feeling really good right now. Today was a really nice day. :D However, I'm too tired/lazy to write about it right now, haha. XD The only thing that I'll say is: IT'S SNOWING AND EVERYTHING'S WHITE AND ASDFGHJKL IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. ♥ I'm finally feeling the Christmas spirit! =D

(I have never been so excited about snow in all my life.)

And now, let's do a meme! :D Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] winged_requiem and [livejournal.com profile] knightess:

Comment with one (or more) of your fandoms that I’m NOT in, and I’ll attempt to summarize it to the best of my ability.

This meme amuses me so. It's going to be fuuuuun~ 8D

♫ i feel the sun creeping up like tick tock

Hiya, people! As you can probably imagine, I spent a lovely weekend! :D My mother got to spend some time with her cousin and I met a new girl (her daughter). She's a really nice girl and, to my surprise & joy, we have a lot of things in common: we both love Jane Austen's books (especially Pride & Prejudice, which makes me really happy, because I don't know that many people who love P&P), Johnny Depp, Lord of the Rings, listening to music every time we can (again, I know very few people who listen to as much music as I do) and we generally agree on anything that concerns school/university! XD It was really nice getting to know her and talking to her. Refreshing, somehow. Also, she didn't have any problems with her allergy whatsoever. My mom and I did a fine job cleaning the house, hehe. :Db

We didn't do anything particularly exciting while they were here. On Friday evening we went out and ate at a restaurant. Of course, being the southern-Italy people we are, we ate pizza. XD Which was really good. We went to a restaurant owned by people who are from the south, like us, and we even paid less, haha! Then, on Saturday, our mothers cooked the entire morning while we daughters just took it easy. She (my mother's cousin's daughter) had to study for an exam, so I stayed in the kitchen and watched our mothers cook (that way I learned how to make a tart, yay self!). We ate an Italian dish called Parmigiana (according to the dictionary: slices of fried aubergines seasoned with tomato sauce and grated Parmesan cheese baked in the oven), which was really good, along with a pie/tart. Then we spent the whole afternoon talking. I heard some very funny stories about various members of my family (my father, my many uncles and cousins and my grandma (my mother's mom), too), and other stories that I had never heard before. This is probably the part I love the most when people from my family come to visit. I can always listen to their stories and I never get tired of them. It's the only time when I can get to know my parents (and other people) better, since they don't talk much about their life before they had me. After talking, we went out again and just walked around the centre of the city and took a hot chocolate, as well. Then, before going to sleep, we all watched a movie and ate strawberries with lemon and sugar (it might sound weird, but they're really tasty!) and pastry for dinner! XD Not exactly what you'd eat on a daily basis, but that's another fun part when family members come to visit, right?

And then, on Sunday, they had to take the train in Mestre. We said our goodbyes, but promised to see each other soon and that we'll go to Pescara one of these days. They even wished me good luck for my applications on the universities I chose. And they told me to choose a nice place, so they can come to visit along with my mother and we can have lots of fun in England! XD And they kept saying I was adorable and lovely. (Everybody calls me adorable, hehe.) Awww. ♥ Also, we gave each others presents! My mother gave her cousin a bag and we both gave her daughter a new ipod, since hers is broken, while they gave us two bracelets. I love mine! ♥ It was so nice of them, really.

Final thoughts? Being part of such a big family is great. ♥ Also, this song, Please Don't Go by Mike Posner is lovely and catchy! :D He really does have a nice voice. Now, I believe my bed is waiting for me~

just a year older, I guess?

Well, the day has almost ended now, but I thought I'd write an entry on my eljay anyway. :D

Guys. Guess what. As of today, I am officially 19 years old! Yay! I sure sound like I'm very excited about it, haha. I guess I'm one year older now, eh?

I spent a nice day and, to celebrate my birthday, my mother and I went on a shopping spree! XD Usually my reaction to going shopping is, 'oh no, boooooring!' but this time it wasn't. My mother and I actually had fun, haha. We just bought some stuff to put on this winter. I bought some shirts and pants, while she bought a pair of gloves, a scarf and a few hats. So, this year I will be going to university with some shiny new clothes! Haha, I probably make it sound more exciting than it really is. XD

Hmm. But, I'm nineteen. That means I'm still a teenager, right? That means I can be irresponsible act crazy goof around do stupid stuff ... err, do what teenagers do? XD

(lol, I'm joking, guys. I would never do any of the things above. ...maybe XD)

*cough* Anyway! This post is for whoever wants to wish me 'happy birthday' or throw some candy/cookies/pies/love/whatever you want at me! Although it's actually an excuse for me to tell each and everyone of you guys on my f-list that you are some pretty awesome people and that I love you all. ♥ (Mmmh, being older somehow has made me sweeter~ Or, as dear Sara would say, more adorable. XD)

(I do realize I might not be making any sense now. Blame it on the shopping, it has probably melted my brain.)

no guys, this is not an hallucination

GUYS I'M BAAAAAAAACK! YES I AM ALIVEEEEEEEE!

Gawd, what a LONG hiatus. I have been very, very, very, very busy with very important final high school exams that I kinda need to pass so I can go to university this year. You have no idea how much stressed and busy I've been during these months. I knew they were going to be stressful and all, but I didn't expect them to be so stressful. Seriously, at one point in May I thought I was going crazy.

I was finished with all my exams exactly on June 30, which is a week ago. So yeah, June was spent revising rather than relaxing. Bu that's okay now, because I can finally say that...

HIGH SCHOOL IS OVER FOREVER!!!

Can you believe it?! :D I won't be complaining about school anymore (in fact, this is the last time I will be using the tag 'school'), I won't need to study 15 subjects anymore, I won't have to put up with stupid teachers and annoying people anymore (well, at least I won't be forced to 'because we are in the same class' or stupid stuff like that)... IT'S OVER.

I seriously can't believe it. I've been waiting for this moment the whole year and now I... can't quite realize I'm free and that everything is over.

That school... I've spent 5 years there. 6 days a week, from 8 in the morning till 6 in the evening every day (well, except Saturdays) for 5 years. That school, it... took away many things from me, but it also gave me something special, something that another school could have never given me. The trips, the exchanges, the new experiences, the things that made me grow up, the things that made me cry, the things that made me angry and those things that made me laugh like crazy. I've met both bad and good people there. I mean, it's... it's weird to know that I won't have to go to that school anymore. I feel happy and relieved, but at the same time, I feel... kinda melancholy. I mean, it's understandable. I spent more time at school than at home during these 5 years. That school had become... my second home, in a way. So leaving that school is like leaving a place that has been my home for 5 years. I'm happy and sad at the same time. It's a strange feeling.

Lots of stuff happened during these months. The Americans from our exchange last year came here for 10 days and we had lots of fun. I did go to Sicily in the end with the theatre group and... I kinda wish I didn't, especially when we were stuck there because of the volcano in Iceland. Then my little cat was seriously ill to the point where she nearly died, but we managed to save her in time. And then, well, just the usual - school getting in the way of free time and teachers stressing us about exams and exams being... well, exams.

I think I'll stop here for today. This is just a post to celebrate me graduating from high school. I'll know the final results of my exams on July 10. According to my calculations, my final score should be around 75-85 out of 100. Either way, I'm really pleased with my exams. :D

Oh, and by the way... I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH GUYS!! ♥ ;_; *clings to everyone* Now that summer vacation has finally started, you'll definitely hear from me more! Love you all! ♥

OMG BIG NEWS TIME!

OMG I DID IT! I PASSED THE CAE EXAM!

ASDFGHJKL I feel like I want to scream, SCREEEEEEAM. But I won't, because I can control my emotions.

...asdfghjkl I was kidding, I CAN'T CONTROL MY EMOTIONS. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT, BUT I PASSED IT. ASDFGHJKL I feel awesome all of a sudden. :D

Score: 75/100
Grade: B

ONLY 5 MORE POINTS AND I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN A. But I totally don't care about that now, because I'm too happy about the fact that I actually passed to be annoyed at something so stupid like that. I know my English is good, many people have told me this already, I don't need a stupid A to confirm it. All the examiners can get lost, for all I care right now. :D

Also, to celebrate, here is the first spam post of [livejournal.com profile] starlightbox. Go and mess around with my muses, I mean it. ♥

EDIT: On the certificate is stated that: "Grade B indicates the range of good achievement up to Grade A, which indicates a very strong performance at the level." That means they're practically the same thing, seeing as Grade B goes from 75 to 79 and Grade A goes from 80 to 100. So there! /incoherent rant

Finally, happy post!

HAPPY POST. :D

Today there was no school, but we had to go there anyway because it was FestUccellis! :D What is it? Well, it's a special day where there are no lessons and there are lots of things going on instead - theater, chorus, dancing... and basically anything you can do at school that isn't lesson. XD I don't think the other schools of my city do this, we are the only ones. I love this day, I find it very unique. ♥ Hence the name - "Uccellis" is the name of my school, "Festa" is the italian word for party (and, well, since "u" and "a" can't be close in Italian because they're two vocals, it becomes "FestUccellis", but that's grammar. XD;)

Happy!Chibi under the cut. ♥ )

Well, that's it. I missed my happy posts. XD;

forgive me if i sound terribly crazy.

I feel rather happy. It rained all day, I had 8 long hours of lessons AND I have a cold, but YES, I'm happy. XD; I'm crazy.

I'm quite surprised to be still alive after today's schedule. Oh, and I love annoying people. :D )

Oh, yeah, I had two super scary dreams last night, but right now I'm just too tired to write about them. Will do that some other time. Goodnight~!

P.S. I LOVE THESE SCANS. ♥

i shall help you to find the compass if you'll do strange things to my dog - his name is tim.

Probably you're all like, 'Where the hell did that quote come from?!?'. XD; It's from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest bloopers. I bought the DVD some days ago, with the bonus features, and, gosh, they were hilarious! XD Orlando's laugh is so cute <3! Keira, too, laughs most of the time, and Johnny says so many funny things! XD They make me laugh so much everytime I watch them, really, I can't stop laughing! XD

You should probably have a laugh, too. You know you want to. :D

Anyway... today I talked with Ondy-san ([livejournal.com profile] guide_light) after what seemed ages, and Mao was online, too ([livejournal.com profile] indelible_scars), and we had our little three-crazy-girls talk which made my day. ♥

So, basically, I wanted to post because right now I'm happy, and I wanted you to know. XD; Oh, yes, I've almost finished Harry Potter. Spoilers. I bet you already know everything, anyway. XD ) Must keep reading!

Dinner with school-friends xD!

Hello, dears. =^^= It's been a long time, eh? xD; Sorry, anyways.

I'm happy. I've just had a dinner with my school-friends. First, we met at school at 6:30 p.m. and then we went to a restaurant to eat pizza with cola. It's my favourite food, I just love it! <3
And then, guess what? We went to a pub (or something like that, I didn't really understand xD) to...drink! Well, I didn't drink a lot of alcohol. I took a Bacardi Breezer, but I didn't like it very much. ^^; So I took something called "Fresa", that was not 'pure' alcohol. It was a 'mixture' of strawberry, pineapple, peach and cane sugar. It was delicious! *_* I really liked it.
And then, we came back to school, and now I'm so tired...
Well, I'm always tired in this period. xD; But it's normal.

I'll write more in the next post. ^^
Bye bye! =D
