oh my is this a real entry?

Or, hi world. I've been a totally awful commenter lately and I haven't said anything that wasn't memes or random fic in ages but I've had a moment of 'I read everything and I procrastinate on commenting' and then didn't comment at all. Ugh. I just hope it's over. If you get a backslash of comments on old entries from me, don't mind me.

But, heck, at least I have news! Sorta.

1. First thing: happy late birthday [livejournal.com profile] lenina20 ! Sorry for the lateness but I hope you had the amazing day you deserve and that next year is nothing short of awesome for you. Possibly free of most university crap. ♥ ♥ ♥

2. Theen, I sadly go back to school next week. The break was good while it lasted. It'd help if my study plan wasn't made of exactly the same things I had to do in the bachelor's degree with the only exception that it's less exams and that I don't even get to choose with whom I can do stuff. *sigh* I want to be enthusiastic but I'm not exactly there. Then again it'll do way good to me to get back to actually doing stuff, so.

3. But, I'm sooo excited because [livejournal.com profile] wandersfound is visiting next week! :DDDDD it'll be glorious. I know it will. ♥ I can't wait. :D

4. Other reason why I'm not posting lately: every time I opened the page I tried to do a politics related post and then it became a rant that was going to be understandable just to Italian people, and then I quit it and I never posted. But since I'm aware that shit my PM has said lately has been reported everywhere, let me just state that whatever he says, especially about Lybia, causes indecent amounts of secondhand embarrassment here. Please don't think that everyone agrees with him, even if apparently half of this country still does. Ugh. I won't get started on the fact that he's under trial for underage prostitution related matters and he's still there. When do I go voting, again? *sigh*

5. German class is going decently. Yoga classes are as well. And damn but I'm happy I took it up again.

6. I need to stop starting books without finishing them. I realized I have currently like six novels that I started reading. One is almost finished but the rest are all at various points and ugh I really should read one book at a time. Anyway maybe in a short while I'll have a book recs post because some of that stuff I started is lovely indeed. also I generally need to stop procrastinating, but procrastination gets worse the more free time I have. Wanna bet that as soon as I'm back to school I'll be finishing novels and all the fic I'm not finishing?

7. On that, next month my target is finishing everything I have left undone that I think I can have half a chance to finish. Let's see if I manage it, uh? Especially because I realized I have an indecent number of unedited/not posted fic and I'm just procrastinating on posting it. Sloth is seriously my favorite deadly sin.. anyway let's see how good it goes and if I manage to stick to it.

8. Uhm, I have no more exciting news except that I finally got a new camera which was pretty much the only thing I wanted for a graduation present and it's the prettiest thing ever and it's half-professional and I can't possibly learn to use it in a short while. But if I manage to get the basic I'll so take the prettiest con pictures ever. And since long entry is long I'll probably stop here and see if I can go get some of that reading done. *waves*

9. No, wait, I was forgetting. I haven't managed to write anything for this because I spent the last two days in a mad cleaning frenzy in order to make my room presentable (and it really did take me two days -- lately everything is all over the place and I definitely need new bookshelves), but this is awesome and I have some prompts eyed and [livejournal.com profile] ozmissage is awesome for hosting it. And since there's way too little Boone someone go prompt some Boone for me so I can write something tomorrow, y/y? Go!

Well, I hope school is more enjoyable than you think it will be. *hugs* It'll be good!

Yay for [livejournal.com profile] wandersfound visiting! That's so exciting!

I realized I have currently like six novels that I started reading.
ME TOO. I seriously have, like, 6 or 7 in progress, and the other day I was ACTUALLY thinking about going to the bookstore for more. Because I OBVIOUSLY have to spend more money, as if I haven't spent enough this month. As though I don't have enough books to read. As though I actually have the time. In short: I feel your pain.

I want to see what you can do with that camera. Figure it out! XD

Enjoy your visit!

What are you working towards in school now?

You'll have t do a picture meme to practice with your new camera!

I totally understand the political rants. Every time I read something about your PM, I wince twice for you.

I'm so jealous of you and [livejournal.com profile] wandersfound shenanigans. So jealous. I demand hundreds of pictures, thousands. Break my bandwidth, I DARE YOU.

Yoga! I've only done a few classes but really enjoyed, and now I do a few stretches as part of my boot camp, and it's really helping with the soreness, lol. Have you ever tried Bikram? That I couldn't handle, haha.

Oh gosh, I need to stop doing that with books, lol -- I'm loving a lot of them, but I'm finding anything too heavy and slow-moving not my cup of tea at the moment, so they're getting abandoned, at least temporarily. ;P The Passage is giving me the fast-moving action I need at the moment, though.

I totally feel you on the book thing. I currently have Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, The Third Policeman, and Bangkok 8 in progress and I'm really not feeling any of them. But I am patting myself on the back for finally finishing a book I've started reading three times in the past three years. ;)

I hope you have a wonderful visit!

Thanks for promoting the fic-a-thon. <333

I've been a crap LJ friend lately too, but I'm attempting to fix it now!

asl'dfkl;sdfksd I'm so jealous of you and Lauren this weekend! I wish all of us LJ buddies could fly to Italy and crash at your house too! lol. Hope you two have a marvellous time!

I am totally the same way about books lately. Well actually, not lately, for the last year or two I've had like 5 or 6 books on the go and I'd have forgotten I even started them if not for the fact that I keep track of books in my Yearly Entertainment Round-Up post. It's so hard to find time when there's fic to be read and internetz to be surfed!

I've had [livejournal.com profile] ozmissage's fic-a-thon opened in a tab all week and haven't gotten to it yet! *slaps wrist* I have to get on that!

I'm sorry, what? Could you explain that?

*hugs*
