Sickle Shows Signs of Life, Fails Miserably:

• I'm on Chapter 7 of 13 in the editing of Nanowrimo 2010. It's actually better than my sleep-deprived memories insisted it was, and there's some elements that keep popping up that give it the illusion of a theme. I'm going to give TfSB an edit as well sometime soon, because a) it's embarrassingly full of typos and b) I want my volunteer internship supervisor to read it first before handing over TWSaM. (I've talked about the book with her a lot, and she's been really supportive and interested in it, and would like to read it, so yays!)


• Watched L'Herrisson yesterday, a French film about a very intelligent little girl bent on committing suicide on her twelfth birthday, the consierge, a quite woman with hidden depths, and the new Japanese neighbour who courts her. It was wonderful and beautiful, even if the ending made me wail against the world.


• On Tuesday, the students of Rome - and the whole country - went out in a manifestation which blocked the whole of downtown and the metro. This resulted in my first staring at the closed metro station displaying schopero, then taking bus one so I could connect to bus two, except bus one never went to where it was supposed to connect because the whole center was blocked so I ended up taking a really long tour around downtown, across the river, through a couple tunnels, until I finally managed to get off somewhere near the Vatican and Castel Sant Angelo. I walked to where I was supposed to find bus two, but that was closed to traffic, pretty much, so I ended up walking all the way home in the rain. I got home 3:15 hours after I was supposed to, and most of that was walking. I was displeased.


• I've been scanning documents like mad these past few days, which while boring and on-my-feet work, it has allowed me to catch up on audiobooks and podcasts. I should probably write this is my profile, but I have mad love for Winchester Radio and Monster Talk (science!) and am currently listening to The Vesuvius Club as recommended by qthewetsprocket


• About a month ago I had a meet-and-greet with someone from Organization, where I basically handed over my CV and met the interns, whom I had lunch with at the cafeteria. I also got chatted up by the security guard during the half hour I was waiting to be let into the Organization (crazy security measures of crazy) and he gave me his number, but I've let that slide. I've been meaning to write about that for ages, so here it is.


• I'm going to Chicago on Sunday - my brother's not coming for Christmas, so I'm the official family representative. I'll be back the 17th and katarinagram's coming the 21st for the holidays, so there is much squee.

I also got chatted up by the security guard during the half hour I was waiting to be let into the Organization (crazy security measures of crazy) and he gave me his number [...]

AND HE WAS RIGHT TO DO THAT! I'D CERTAINLY TRY AND CHAT YOU UP IF I HAD THE CHANCE, SO. WELL DONE, MR. SECURITY GUARD. WELL DONE.

I wanted to add a flirty gif here just because, but I didn't have one, but then I found this and thought maybe this would do as well:

Hurr harr harrr.

Also, glad Nano's behaving! Really very glad. ;) Your progress is epic! ♥ And hooray for your Christmas plans!

*HUGGLES*

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

IT WAS TOTALLY A FIRST, TOO! I don't get randomly chatted up by people! (At least, not by people who don't need directions somewhere or are drunk.)

I has flirty GIFs right here!



and the appropriate reaction



*MAD HUGGLES, YO*

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Aw, those gifs! Misha! *grins*

Have some moar flirting!



And Jack/Nine kissage! :)



If you don't get hit on all the time, I can only conclude that people are blind, because. Whew, girl. ♥ *loves* :)

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

If you don't get hit on all the time, I can only conclude that people are blind - Not if you're walking with me! Then you'd be getting all the catcalls ;)

Also, also, omg, yo! I think I might get you TWSaM by tonight, if the uploading goes well! I'm almost done with the editing! \o/

[seschat.livejournal.com]

So not true! ;) ♥!

AND OMG. SO MUCH FLAIL! I'll probably be going to sleep early because there's work tomorrow (damnation!) but OMG, I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO READING IT AFTERWARDS SO FRICKIN' MUCH YOU WON'T EVEN BELIEVE IT. WHY IS MY WEEKEND MADE OF SO MUCH WIN? MY INCEPTION DVD ARRIVED TODAY, AND NOW TWSAM -- I MUST'VE BEEN SO GOOD.

(Yes, all the capslock was completely necessary, be quiet.) ♥!!
