My so called life

This journal is for my personal posts and it' friends only. There will be some public entries as well but mostly it will be friends locked. Please feel free to browse around the public entries.


If you are interested to read my fics a better place for those is my fic journl fanfic_by_piksa. I don't really post fics here anymore. They are all posted at the fic journal. This is just for my personal entries.

This is mainly for my own entertainment and reference. Feel free to skip this post.

Below the cut are all the books that have been read at the community my_book_nook. I'm using it as a reference list for myself when thinking about new books to loan out. I'm also dating this to the last date for the current challenge at the community so that I can find this at the top of my journal when needed.

( Booklist )

Before anyone panics didn't make any big edits. I just mainly removed some users and communities that hadn't had any activity in recent years. Of course this also includes me assuming that there's really people who want to read my journal *g*

Just felt like cleaning out a bit. In case I accidentally unfriended someone who is still active and wants to stay on my f-list, please comment here and all will be corrected.

Now it's sleepy time. I do hope I will sleep better than last night. For some weird reason I woke up at four am and stayed awake for about three hours after that before again falling asleep for a few hours.

*puts the pimp hat on*

A good friend of mine and a faithful supporter of my fics is doing her thesis at the moment and needs your help. She has created a separate journal for the questions regarding the thesis. The questions can be found here

The questions are about giving and receiving gifts and the meaning gifts have for people. All comments are screened so your answers won't be seen by anyone else than her.

It only takes about five minutes to answer the questions so please take this short time of your day and go fill it out. She needs to get as many answers as possible.

One of the questions asks you to specify your country so it would be good if people from different countries answered the questions so that she could analyze that in her work as well.

Thank you!

*bows out*

Doing my school assignment and need your help. Does anyone on my f-list have a plus-account? Or know someone who has one? I'm doing my marketing assigment about digital marketing and would like to see what kind of adds Livejournal puts on the plus-account pages.

Also feel free to tell me how the process goes? What do you think about the adds on your LJ page and anything else that comes to mind. Anything you tell me will be treated as confidental

Thank you for any help you can give me!

Narrow-minded people piss me off.

That's all.

Went to see Grudge yesterday. There were 26 of us "Buffy" fans there. It was scary. Really did like it though. The suspence had been made really well. By boyfriend kept laughing at me when I startled in some scenes. I think this was the first movie I saw SMG doing a good job and being in a role that suited her. I've pretty much hated all the other movies she has done.

After the movie we went for drinks with a small portion of the group. It was nice too. Now that we've become to know each other better it's nice to socialize with the people too and talking is so much more free nowadays than it was before.

Today I've just been catching up with my flist. You guys write a lot! Had to skip 120 messages before I got to messages I've already read.

Have been trying to write a little. My muse still isn't back and that sucks. Oh well, maybe she will return some day. I at least hope.

Next on the list!

*waves to averine*

Welcome!

Now I better go back to staring at blank pages that for some reason don't want to fill up with words.

Just needed to try this out.

Your EQ is

113 50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

Saw this in julissak01's journal and decided to pass it on to spread the word.

Look here

There are two fics. At least the second one (Remembrance) is stolen from preetybird. Her orginal story can be found here. It's practically word for word except for the title.

Don't recognise the other one but it may as well be stolen. Check out and spread the word.

Can't understand why people would copy other people's work! The chance to get caught is quite big.

I'm cranky now!

Just booked my ticket for "Prime" in September. I'm gonna see Nick! Now I can't back down anymore. Just have to start saving up money for the trip. Donations are welcome *g*

Having trouble concentrating at work. Nothing really inspires me and I just drift around here. I should have estimates of the December billing ready tomorrow but somehow I can't feel bothered. A dangerous attitude.

Oh well, I guess I have to try to do something.

I actually did it. I can't believe it. My first WIP is finished, at 70 chapters. I posted the first chapter on June 4th. Of course I still have chapters to post, at least 15 and it is possible that my beta is going to crush the whole idea I have for the ending *g*

The whole fic is at least for now out of my hands and with my beta.

I'm proud of myself!

I just sent a SMS to a service which tells you if the relationship you have will work out. I tried it with Angel and Spike *g*

The result was 40% so not very good but there was also a text that goes roughly like this (translated from Finnish):

"If you both want this it can succeed. Your honey is just a great guy!"

So now we have proof that the relationship between Angel and Spike really has hope.

Don't know if this is a good thing or not.

In the year 2005 I resolve to: Generate more bad karma. Get your resolution here

If something bad happens to you this year, you can always blame it on me now *g*


My real New Year's resolution is to exercise more and loose weight before the London gig in April. I know I've promised to loose weight before too but hoping to make it this time.

My year has not began too well. Have felt really down today and really tired. All I've done today was to go eat with a few friends. They all probably thought I was really dull when I had no interest to do anything.

At home I've just slept and watched a few episodes of Angels fifth season. It feels that the best place to be is under covers on the sofa. Wondering if I'm coming down with something or what's wrong with me.

The final update on my writing goal. I actually did make it even if it looked bad for a while.

52,022 / 50,000 (104.0%)

Did this meme by pet_23 and it looks like I'm not a very good Spangel-whore. Got only 7% on the scale of how much of a Spangel whore I am. The need for therapy was 98% so that's at least true...

Poor me!

Took this from jstabe

This explains it all. *g*


You're a Slash writer!


What kind of writer are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

I'm bored to death. I'm sitting at work and I have absolutely nothing to do. I've written now 20 drabbles for the 2005 challenge (not all today) and I feel I can't write more right now. Writing anything else doesn't appeal either. Could someone please tell me what I could do?

Tried to buy the ticket to Prime today but they are closed for the holidays. Have try again next week.

I think I will go and annoy my colleagues for a while. I still should stay in the office for 1½ hours before I can leave.

I'M BORED

Anyone going to the Prime Convention in Blackpool in September 2005?

On their page it says that it will be the last Buffy Starfury Convention held in the UK.

I really want to meet Nicholas Brendon so I'm probably going. I know I'm crazy but I'm happy so who cares!

So Christmas is over.

I have to return to work tomorrow which sucks. I already know now that the next week will be total hell and I'm going to loose my nerves many times. There are some really stupid people at my work who think that I can work miracles. Maybe it's fitting during Christmas time but I really can't do them so they just have to deal with it.

I think I will head for bed now and have some nightmares about the coming week.

Finally at home! Got a lovely neclace from my BF. It looks really great!

Got rearended today, or my father but I was in the car too. Nothing really happened. Wasn't a hard one. Not a mark on the cars. It still gave me a scare.

Have eaten way too much today. Feeling quite bloated. I think I will go to sleep now and see what tomorrow brings.
