1. Fanfiction (did you expect anything else?)
2. The latest show I'm into (Supernatural, Heroes, Prison Break, Blood ties, Scrapped Princess, Scrubs, Firefly, Stargate Essgeewon)
3. World of Warcraft (this should be tied with number two. If there's nothing new I will play this first)
4. Other video games (Oblivion, Might and Magic, Final Fantasy, Overlord, Sims (Curse you Steven for hiding it!)
5. Writing fanfiction (but I usually get bored and start reading it again ^^;)
6. Oh, and socialising. But I'm not very good with that, and when I do socialise we usually do number 2 or 4, depending who I'm with. (If I'm combining number 6 with 4 I'll add Kuri Kuri Mix to the list of games)
7. Reading normal books.
8. Movies.

The first four are my main addictions, the rest are substitutes for said addictions. *hugs fanfiction, my one true fix*

So, what am I up to today? Well, the right headphone on my NEW pink headphones has busted and I'm pretty bummed about that. I can only listen to Bob Seger with one ear *sigh*

I'm also partaking in

SHAKAI VS BIOLOGY ROUND (lost count.)

Hence the reason I'm writing this, I'm procrastinating again. Curse you none existent willpower! At least I've been for a coffee today. I think I need to find a guy and invite him for coffee. I love coffee. *loves coffee* See? it emotes so it must be true! (This is really bad procrastination)

My dilemma is this, I can't write a very good LJ post because I'm feeling bad about not doing my Biology. But I can't do my Biology because my brain will essplode all over the library. *sigh* I'll give it another go.

*17 minutes later*

I've done my definitions of the transpiration variables *phew* this isn't going too badly...

*6 minutes later*

Transpiration sucks. It really does. But at least I know what an abscission layer is *intellectual nod* and can apply it to lizards and their tails, which is infinitely more cooler than leaves falling off trees.

*12 minutes later*

Right I'm sick of this. The supply of caffeine to my brain has been exhausted. Now I'm just going to print it off and hope for the best :D it's at least 2000 words long (who knew you could write that much on the transpiration of 2 bloody leaves?! ¬_¬)

I'm also going to have to leave this (Argh! That's it. I'm boycotting all words that sound anything like leaf/leaves/girth ;) /tree/transpire/evaporation/holly/sycamore/biology/Marie the Biology tutor of DOOM AND HATE.

I'm also going to have to *whips out thesaurus* abscond this here, since I have Psychology academy in approximately 15 minutes and I have no idea whether it's in Borrowdale of Grizedale, so I'll have to check both. Then I'm having lunch with Elle and coming back to finish this post off after English. And fingers crossed something amazing and awesome would have transpired (Gyaaah!) befallen me since :D

*Later that day - at around half three*

So, has anything awesomely awesome befallen me since this morning? ...Not particularly. Psychology Academy was really good. We've got a new tutor who's also a Clinical Psychologist (I'm not sure if you are aware but I'm really into Clinical Psychology and wanted to follow it as a career - before my hopes were dashed by a tutor telling me I'd be in education for a further 8 years, which I'm really not willing to do.) Anyway, we're doing Clinical Psychology in Psych Acad and the first thing she asked was "Does anyone know anything about Schizophrenia?" Noone answered, so timidly I raised my hand (I was sat on my own as a billy and didn't really want to attract attention to myself.)
But I raised my hand and told her there were different types of schizophrenia such as Paranoid and Catatonic and the symptoms for both and she actually looked kinda impressed. *happy* But from that moment on she kinda honed in on me and kept asking me questions such as what DID was, (Disassociative Identity Disorder) the symptoms for BiPolar Depression, what Freud was about (I swear she read my mind, because I smirked when she asked the question, because Freud was really about sex all the time, and she said "No... Not sex *sigh*) Then she stared at me for most of the class when she began explaining about the other kinds of disorders. And the thing is, when she explained most of the things I already knew about them. And at the end of the class she said, "And next week we'll be doing about schizophrenia, and you'll be able to tell them all about it, won't you Laura?" I reckon she's been talking to my personal tutor... Or perhaps the Psych tutors just think I'm the resident expert on Schizophrenia because I did a load of stuff about it. They all seem to look at me whenever they mention it.

Maybe my vocation is to do something in Clinical Psychology and schizophrenia. *sigh* I need to stop changing my mind about the future.

Speaking of which, I'm going to go to the RAF careers office on Wednesday. I'm dead nervous about it and hope I won't make a screw up of myself *fingers crossed* But the problem is I need to figure out exactly what it is I want to do, and become confident and learned in that aspect. At the moment I think I want to become an Intelligence Officer, because they have Officer status which means a lot of money (and my brother would have to salute me on the base *snicker* or follow in my brother's footsteps and try out for the RAF regiment Police (We've talked about it and it does sound kind of appealing) It was really sweet, he offered to come with me when I went to the careers office, but it's only open on weekdays and he only gets to come home at weekends. I love my brother *would hug him but that would be weird*

Yeah, siblings on tv would never act like that in real life.

Peter and Nathan Petrelli are always hugging, and telling each other that they love them.
Michael and Linc (I'll get to them in more detail later) are always hugging and crying on each other!
Sam and Dean hug and tell each other "I'd die for you!" which considering their circumstances I believe that they are the most realistic, because they only ever brother touch when Sam's beaten to hell and/or dead and resurrected.

I think I've hugged my brother once in the past 10 years. And that was June when he moved away to RAF land. I've never told him I love him, although I've told my mum I love him and that I'm proud he's my brother. And he's told my parents that he's proud of me. But never directly. We have an awkward relationship. I never talk to him on the phone, or call him to say hi.
But when we're both in the house I used to spend a lot of time in his room chatting about music, and he used to spend a lot of time in my room chatting about music and stuff. And when we're on holiday we hang out together (we went to a bar once and he did a crazy dance and I nearly died with laughter).
So I guess that maybe our relationship isn't that awkward. *metaphorically hugs brother*

So, Michael and Linc. You probably know who they are if you've watched Prison Break (which thanks to Elle is my new obsession ^_^ I love brothers) *feeding the brothers fetish*

I'm currently mid way through Season 2 (watched in under 24 hours) and I'm completely infatuated with the younger brother (surprise surprise) (The one on the right)

The gist of it is that Big brother Linc (one on the right, also played Drake in Blade Trinity and stabbed Ryan Reynolds in the chest *Whumpage \o/*) is in Prison for killing the Vice Presidents brother. And Michael (the pretty one) is a super genius and gets arrested in order to go to Prison and break them both out :-D

Sounds pretty simple, but there's lots of plot twists and unforeseen turns of events that mess up Michael's plan forcing him to make new ones \o/ and there's WHUMPAGE! and Concerned!Big Brother.

Unfortunately it doesn't happen as often as I'd like but enough to keep me happy. Also? Lots of Angst. Wonderful Smunderful angst that makes little brother cry. ^_^

Elle said that my list of Teh Pretteh is getting quite long. I don't believe her. I think we need visual evidence of this long list? What do you think? ^_^

A smoldering Jared Padalecki (who is top of my list forever!)

A hatted Milo Ventimiglia looking super Cute! (Peter Petrelli FTW)

 

Drop dead gorgeous Wentworth Miller! (Be still my beating heart. Siriusly!)

Adrian Pasdar (Zomgz! An older brother!) So he's an older man, they do say men get better with age, and with him I totally agree! ^^

You know? I honestly can't think of any more at this moment in time. My brain can only hold so much pretty and it just pushes the others out, otherwise I would have a complete mental meltdown. Jensen Ackles is on the Pretteh list as well, but he receives enough love from everybody else, and I feel I'm doing Elle an injustice if I fangirl over him instead of my chosen SPN brother *Jared sized squee*

 

Whoo, my first pic!Spam in like forever. I feel I need to do something to commemorate this... How about a few inside jokes? Will anyone get them all, I wonder...

1.

That's funny, I  recognise this llama, but it seems to be wearing a mask of some sort (and a flag O_o)

2.

Alas, the original has gone walkabouts ¬_¬

3.

It's a Liopleurodon! A Magickal Liopleurodon!

4.

Where is his wife? I wonder...

5.

"I don't like it when you do a Russian voice... It scares me"

6.

And all the leaves on all the trees...

7.

What am... I?

8.

Are the hand and the dog really that well acquainted?

Oh dear, this pic!Spam has gone on for far too long, I was just having too much fun with the inside jokes and mentally guessing who would get them all.

1. Bernie. 'Nuff said.
2. That fantastic science lesson where Clarky boy let us use the computers.
3. Chaaaaarlie!
4. She's out at IKEA getting a new pink moustache.
5. Ptikobj!
6. Are spoons!
7. I... Am a potted plant!
8. The dog gnaws him like the back of his hand.

So, who got them all right? Oh yeah. I did ^_^

See, this is boredom in it's highest form. I've talked about nothing for jonks and had two picspams.
What did I get up to this week? I had a migraine all of Monday *sigh* so I was in bed all day again, then Tuesday I went to town with Spooks and she persuaded me to purchase a WoW giftcard which will last until Christmas. Then I created a new Tauren Character called Jakazaloony. which is an odd name.

Shakai: Jakaza... I'm not sure what I think of it...
Mum: Laura! Can I borrow you a sec!
Shakai: *leaves Spooky alone in the room*
Shakai: *comes back* *Looks at screen* Jakaza... Loony? Meh *clicks create*
Spooky: I didn't actually think you'd do it!

So now I have a character called Jakazaloony, but in my head I pronounce it J'Kahza which sounds much cooler. *misses WoW* I really wish I could go home and play it right now.
Instead I'm going to watch Prison Break \o/ So I can catch up with Elle in Season 3 and anxiously wait for the new eps to come out, and I can talk about it with her, because she knows Spoilers and I'm being spoiler free.

Supernatural and Heroes? I don't know anything, only murmurs and rumours, and very brief plot lines. Not enough to ruin surprises, but enough that when plot lines come into play I can go "Aaaaah!" Like in BDABR where I knew it was a rabbits foot with bad luck, and when Dean opened the curse box and Elle was all "It's a demon! It's a demon!" I was like *snerk* because I knew.

Speaking of which, I may go and spoiler whore right about now ^_^

O_O! I take back everything which I said about very brief plotline spoilers. ZOMGZ for next esipode of SPN! *dies a violent flailing death* No seriously, OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG (Is that enough to convey how awesome it's going to be?) (And no, it's not whumpage related... Unfortunately)

Heroes ep doesn't sound too awesome just yet, but knowing Peter Petrelli. Everything he does is awesome. Like last ep! *has totally become a Peter/Caitlin shipper*

And I know this may sound completely out of character for myself, but in the last episode of Supernatural, I found myself wanting Sam to get together with Ruby. *audible gasp* I know, weird huh. She's a Mary-Sue and he's celibate-in-grief, but I just thought it would totally be hardcore of him to kiss a demon (God knows Dean's done it enough times.)
It reminded me slightly of the 5YGverse in Heroes where Peter (overall good guy) gets with Niki (Bad Assed killer) and it shows just how far he's fallen.
If Sam got with a demon it would show how far he had fallen. Just for one episode maybe, in an Alternate verse. I don't want the relationship to be "Oh noes! Ruby's in trouble, I will have to set aside my brother and the main storyline of the entire show to go and rescue here" but rather "Sam likes Ruby and Dean hates her but when Sam is totally about to go evil and die or whatever they realise they have to work together to save him and show him the light, which would mean that Sam and Ruby couldn't be together and she goes back to hell and Sam is back to being Celibate-in-grief. And if he could spend some time in a coma that wouldn't go amiss." That actually sounds like a pretty decent plot line. :D *is going to go off in search of fanfiction for that later*

For now though, I might pack up my folders (in an effort to look like I'm attempting to do homework, when it's obvious that I'm not) and catch the bus, telling Elle which one it is because she's catching it too ^_^

Oh, and do you reckon I should rename my LJ "Something to read when you have absolutely ridiculous amounts of time free with nothing better to do?" Because my posts are becoming unfeasibly long, and Kudos to you if you're actually still reading this *gives Gerard Way of applause* *shock! another inside joke*

It'sa quarter past four now.

Toodles! (no wait, gotta follow on with tradition)

Goat and scurvy
