Holy fuck, this year seems not to end. A boy from my school died this morning in a car accident, coming to Tandil from Buenos Aires. He was fourteen years old, and his mother also died in the crash. He had no siblings, and his father was absent since his birth. The only family left are his grandmother -who raised him while his mom studied- and his great-grandmother who suffers from Alzheimer.

Words can not explain what I am feeling right now and I just feel like crying at times, and the whole day has just been crap. I'm sorry for this but I'm really really trying to be optimistic and think that he's already in God's grace -but it's so hard when things like this happen to young people like him. He wasn't my friend, we were just acquaintances, but my school is small and I have always been attached to it as a sort of "extension" of my family, and I have always felt responsible for setting a good example for the younger kids, and supporting them in their projects and stuff, so I really love them all like little brothers and sisters. I may not have known him in depth, but I knew exactly who he was, and when my sister told me what had happened I felt a knot in my throat like I hadn't felt in a long time...

The burial is tomorrow and I'm having a terrible case of insomnia. I mean I guess I am sort of sleepy, but I don't really want to go to sleep. Something about it just feels off, and I know it's totally normal in this kind of situation, but I'm not sure if I should be feeling like this given the fact that this boy and I had probably talked once or twice...

*sigh* I really need to have a coffee or something.

Well hello everyone! I have just a few minutes to post because I am now in my hometown and having some quality family time. I've been coming and going, buying presents and wrapping stuff for the last three days, so really I couldn't come on here, but I just want to thank you all for the patience, and tell you that your good luck wishes paid off because I got B's and A's in my finals. :)

On another note, I want to wish everyone a very happy Christmas!! And since I'm a very spiritual person, I am prone to ramble around and about the true meaning of Christmas and stuff... Which I will not do today. But I have a little story to tell you lol.

Thing is, my mom is a psychiatrist. On Monday, my siblings and I went to the clinic where she works to fetch some things while we were downtown, and when she came out to meet us, an adult couple, maybe in their late 40's, walked out behind her (presumably from her office). My mom smiled and told them she'd see them again in January, and they responded with a rather sad "Merry Christmas", but Merry Christmas it was.

When mom came back home that day, she told us that this couple had lost a 12 year old son to leukemia two months ago, and were left with a 6 year old daughter who is retarded (it was through the daughter's treatment that my mom met them). She felt strange, uneasy, didn't know whether to wish them a Merry X-Mas or not. She was afraid that not saying it would come across as rude, and saying it, as hypocritical. It was while she internally debated this that they wished her a happy Christmas and left.

Two things I highlight from this situation... 1) It doesn't matter what the other person is going through if your wish for love and happiness is wholehearted and genuine. Let's not miss the chance to wish someone something good, even if at the moment it seems inappropriate, because maybe our words could lighten that person's day more than we know. And 2) Regardless of the meaning of Christmas, there are some things that are more important than others... Let's not get them mixed up ;)

----*----

^ Ok, I wrote that today at 5pm and couldn't post it. It's now 3:42am and I'm back from the family dinner with my Dad's side of the family (his new wife and her sisters and their families respectively). I was positively surprised, all my prejudices were washed away, all walls I had built, broken down. It felt so good to be able to enjoy such an important moment of the year with these people, because they showed me that each family is a whole different world, and ironically, that world resembles ours more than we would've ever imagined.

Just in case you can't tell, Christmas and family reunions get me kind of emotional, and I don't mean to be cheesy but it was only a while ago that I realized how thankful I should be for all the things and people around me. (:



MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! :D

Yup. I'm really sorry. I tried to cope with everything at the same time but it's definitely a no-no. I'm sitting for finals tomorrow, Thursday and Monday, and it's really hard to study when all you're really worried about is on Livejournal lol (sad, huh?)

So, I'm gonna make it easier for me and go on hiatus until Christmas. I might lurk around after I watch the new episode (which I'm sure must have been filled with epic flailness and massive amount of squee-worthy moments, but which I can't watch until later on in the week), however I will definitely not be posting, writing fic, making graphics, etc. I intend to wrap up my terribly overdue fic Gorgeous soon, but even if I make the necessary corrections to the last two chapters during this week, I will not be posting it until my self-imposed sentence is over.

On a random note, my art teacher looks exactly like Katherine Heigl, only she's a brunette. And well, obviously, she's absolutely gorgeous. I just thought I'd share that because I've been thinking about it for months and finally told her yesterday, "You know what? You look like Katherine Heigl". Lol. She was happy.


:) Without further ado, I will try to walk away now and glue my butt to the chair so that I actually study properly for once in my life.

(I wanted to use my peace-out!Gillian gif here but Photoshop is acting stupid. Farewell!)

Another steal... Thanks xfirefly9x

( follow D cut )

Stolen from xfirefly9x, fun meme! ;D

( check it out! )

And thanks everyone for the virtual gifts although I really don't understand how it works. I'd love to send one back to every person who sent me one but I just feel lost as regards these pretty snowflakes. So really, thanks! :D

They're amateurs, but boy, did they make my day last week! :D

( My little brother in action! )

:D *happy sigh*

( Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! )

Scratching the Surface, part II

See previous part for info cause I'm late for my bus! lol




( here!! )

Yup. Sorry I haven't updated on either of my stories yet. I seem to have a problem with keeping up with that kind of stuff. But to make matters worse I haven't been online for the past two days and I won't be for the rest of today I guess so this is just a quick detour from "real life" to say, no, I haven't died. I'm still here. Lol.

As far as the "eventful" weekend goes, let's just say I just found out one of my best friends is going to live in an ecovillage in Tucuman, 1200km from Buenos Aires, and he's leaving tomorrow. Heh. So who knows when we will see each other again. He's coming for dinner, that's why I won't be online tonight.

On another note, I finally spoke to a friend whom I had had a fight with over the summer (January this year) and hadn't seen since. It's really a long story, but I'm happy. Everything's fine. We've given it time and realized that we missed each other ridiculously, and that there's a connection between us that, no matter how much we hurt each other in the past, it made us both grow and we still want to keep this relationship going. We've admitted to our mistakes, apologized and forgiven, too. So that's that. And we spent both Friday and Saturday together. In fact, we were stargazing on her terrace last night and woke up today at 7.30am because it was raining. So yeah, I got home at around 8am today. I'm knackered. But happy. But exhausted. Very. Exhausted.

So now I have to tidy up before my friend arrives! *runs around in panic*

STS part II due tomorrow. CROSS MY HEART. Don't let me break my promise. Leave a thousand messages if necessary! (Comments are always ♥ love)

*does peace-out!Gillian thingy*

Okay, here goes another fic :) This one is specially dedicated to bevfank , who I must thank for the awesome ideas in her season 2 prompts list. Click here to see it!

Title: Scratching The Surface
Summary: Gillian needs help to move into her new house, and Cal is obviously willing to give her a hand. Just good, harmless fluff.
Spoilers: Season 1. I imagine this would take place before S02E01 because spoiler alert for those who haven't watched season 2 yet! in episode one she tells Cal that she's single and free and I guess that means she's already moved out too. I guess she would've done that even before the divorce papers were finished.
Rating: PG-13, nothing to worry about.
Characters: Isn't it obvious, now? ;)
Disclaimers: None of this is mine, sadly, not even the idea haha. I'm just putting it into pretty words. Or something.

Enjoy!!!!

( I trust you )

***

Promise part II will be longer ;)

( And I might still crash, but I still believe )

♥♥♥♥♥♥

Everything about her is so beautiful!

Changed my layout (still needs a little tweaking though!)

Changed my computer server (which is a pain in the ass).

Changed my default userpic lol (I love pink!Gillian but I just think Idina looks so flawless in this one! *sigh*)

Will very probably be changing university for the start of next year! *cry*


Other than that... I'm downloading the new Lie to Me episode and writing a Cal/Gillian fic involving lots of boxes and quality time at home ;) Wink wink bevfank. Lol. This one's for you.


I don't know if I should go to sleep or wait until the download is done while I write. Of course the latter is terribly tempting, but I do need to sleep at some point. Suggestions? (Cause of course you guys aren't biased. lol)

See? This is why I didn't want to start watching Glee.

I knew it.

I knew this was gonna happen.


I'm adding one to my list of addictions. *cry*

I just got my computer back yesterday afternoon but I didn't get to post or anything because I WENT TO THE JASON MRAZ CONCERTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT OMG DAHSGHGTYHXDHZSBXBCYAGLÑ

Yeah, anyway. I'm in love. He is the cutest thing on the fucking planet, and he moves his hips and his butt like you seriously wouldn't believe. He's sexy as hell, I want to marry him!

Gah. I'll write a decent review with pictures and video and everything when I get some more sleep. I also need to catch up on all the fanfic and stuff, plus watch the 2xo7 that's waiting for me still!! :D It's downloading.

I'm gonna crash for a few hours now and then I'll see y'all.

By the way, how've you all been? :)

Story: Gorgeous
Chapter: 11/12-13(?)
Rating: Well it's still a sorta PG-13 but it will get better in the following chapter ;)
Summary: See previous!
Disclaimers: Of course nothing belongs to me and this isfor entertainment purposes only.
Spoilers: Season 1 only.

ENJOY! (Oh btw, wankered = knackered. You'll know when you see it. Just to avoid misinterpretation lmao)

I loved writing this chapter in particular, so please review if you liked/disliked/whatever :) I'm interested in what you think.

( Do you oliver? )

I'm so sorry guys that my story is yet to be updated. My computer crashed Thursday before I got a chance to post. I left it on and when my sister arrived at home something had happened and it just died, lol. Shame on me for not updating before leaving, for the chapter was this ( ) close to finished. Anyway. A friend of mine lent me her computer for today, so I'll try to update it today, but please be nice and bear with me since I'll have to remember everything I had written (I really do want to get it done today because my PC won't be returned until next Wednesday at the least).

Sorry again!!! :(

YAAAAAAYYY :D The day has finally come!
Though, as my luck would have it, I have a big test tomorrow, so I can't stay up to watch/download it... So I'll just have to download it when I get home from university and watch it a couple hours later when it's done.

Oh, btw! I went to the movies the other day with my sister to see Surrogates, and guess who was in it?


IT WAS THE HONEY GIRL!!!!

She didn't do much other than sit there and be pretty, same as she did in Honey lol. Though there was this funny part where she told Bruce Willis' character: "We're not doctors". And he replied: ( under the cut for language, just in case! )

Either way, Honey girl made me think of Cal *trails off* Mmmm. ^_^

On another note, it's rainy today and for some weird reason it feels so good! Sometimes I just LOVE the rain! Some other days it makes me depressed... But today, it's beautiful. *sigh* I'm going off to my art class now =P So see y'all later and hopefully I'll have another chapter of Gorgeous up tomorrow if I do well in my exam (otherwise I'll just spend all my time studying heh).

Cheers!
