This is a scheduled entry to remind everyone (myself included) to watch the first Eurovision semifinal tonight (the second SF is on Thursday and the final is Saturday).
past!me is currently listening to the official playlist of this year's entries and is delighted to conclude that everyone has managed to send the most ridiculous and cringe-worthy productions this year as well. ;P
(just semi-kidding here)
I haven't really been enchanted since Alexandar Rybak won, and now I'm here in Norway where everyone is physically sick of that song already. :D AND I WANT TO GO TO HIS CONCERT BUT HE DOESN'T SEEM TO LEAVE THE OSLO AREA AT ALL WOW ARE YOU SERIOUS, I CAN'T GO HOME WITHOUT SEEING HIM LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, who knows, maybe the winner this year will decide where I'll move next? I've realized a few days ago I don't have any actual plans with my life outside of finishing my Masters and even the place of that is not fixed, especially with the rapid way my country is going downhill...
Alas! Se på Eurovision i kveld!
(Doesn't apply to people outside of Europe because you clearly all suck and can't be part of our epic events)

ETA: okay there are a few I like but I'm not going to say which because then they're doomed to lose bwahETA2: Wow okay I'm cheering for Russia, byeWriter friends, when do you know if a story is worth your time or not? I'm still struggling with my
paperlegends story - one moment I'm excited and full off ideas, the very next I feel it's all pointless and just a waste of time (and let's not talk about it how questionable it is that I finish at all by July...). My muse acts like the biggest bitch about it, refuses to start, but once I do the character breathe by themselves and it's fun it's just ALWAYS AT THE MOST UNACCEPTABLE TIMES.
I only wrote 1k words this weekend and that's really frustrating, even though I can count it up for this horrible cold I had
From which I seem to be getting out slowly thanks to a lot of sleep and intense medication, but today I almost ragequit the entire internet and every single project I have I was so frustrated with just... everything. The funny part of it was how when I Skyped with my father he complained about my quitting of Twitter - he doesn't read my updates, because as he says, he doesn't understand them, but he checks it to say whether I'm still alive / when do I go to sleep. Yep, cool modern dad. I guess.
But I think I have these "omg fuck the internet I'll become a monk" moments every 2 months lately. Which is sad because then I always realize there is nothing left... LALALA I'm shutting up I'm in a funny mood which shouldn't have any signs left.
So anyway, I don't know what to do or not to do with my big bang - when I think about quitting, a horde of ideas attack me always. I think I'll try to last until Merlin and Arthur finally meet up, maybe it'll be easier after that.
In other news, I signed up for
icon_talk battle because it's just 6 icons and fun. Also, I basically wasted every single minute in the past 4 days on drawception, thanks to
ces_1 D:
I also started rewatching the first season of Merlin - this will be the third time I see all the episodes (but some, like 1.01, I've seen so many times I lost count :D). I watched 1.03 and 1.04 today and wow, all the feelings. Such babies. I love the characterization of Arthur and Morgana, how Merlin is being and idiot and Gaius giving useful advice, the palpable Arthur/Morgana and Merlin/Gwen romance undertones (don't even try to deny it jesus the chemistry is blinding in both cases). The Poisoned Chalice of course gave me ALL THE FEELS, even though I read fanfiction regularly, I forgot the canon intensity of this bromance. Also, there was one particular part that interested me and the reason I'm fangirling here now: when Merlin is dying and Arthur is off on the quest, Merlin can see what's happening to him and helps him out. I wonder, is that connection still alive? Would Merlin still be able to see in his mind what is happening to Arthur? I guess it's one of those things which could happen on the whim of the writers, but it'd be certainly an interesting aspect of their connection. It's good to see Anthony Head around again as well.
Also, IDK why, but it's a lot of fun to write rage filled rants on Cultbox's Merlin entries. I'm sad they seem to abandon conventions this year, it'll be a long while until we get some proper teases (I try to avoid spoilers as much as possible, I only know about the returning characters).
WOW okay I should be sleeping because I'm still sick and crazy and I need to rest out this annoying depressed mood because really.
Or I just need a new obsession so that I don't have time wondering about ~life~.

"I'M LISTENING BROTHER-" *WHOOSH INCOMING IRON MAN*
I thought I'd watch GoT tonight as well since there is no work tomorrow (yay!) but I'm on an emotional high I don't want any tampering with. Should go to sleep now and make the most of the day with writing my story but people are partying right outside my window, and as I mentioned, I'm kinda high. Anyway I wanted to record this small scene which happened today, and this was actually like my... 5th conversation about this topic with M (guy who is an intern like me at the company and flirts with everything that has legs and two boobs):
Half of it was joking on both of our parts but there is no denying he just can't, physically can't process the fact that I'm having fun the way I am, and getting drunk & acting silly is not refreshing/entertaining for me. I was drunk, I did act silly, and I guess it can be kind of.. relaxing for my mind which runs on 120% all day, but the experience itself is just not as rich as doing something creative or jumping inside a story. The only thing I kind of regret a bit is that I really don't know and meet that many people but I have a fairly small amount I can cope with at a given time, I just get overwhelmed okay - that's the way I am. And I accept that people like to let loose in various ways and just damn all the consequences around them, so I really don't know why is it not possible to return to courtesy and accept that I have fun in my own boundaries. I did get loose, once or twice, and while I guess in that moment everything is simple and easy because yeah, who cares, and I do sweat about a lot of things pointlessly - but that's who I am.
I saw this gorgeous graphic about introverts the other day; I think I'l buy a poster of it in the future if possible.

M: So where are you partying tonight?
S (me): Actually I'm going to the cinema. [insert 5 minute debate where M thinks it's not worth the money] Then I'm going to watch Game of Thrones probably. I'm a very busy person.
M: You should try out real life sometimes.
S: I did, didn't cut it for me.
M: Why, where did you go? Have you met new people?
S: I did. And FYI you can meet new people on the Internet, too.
M: That doesn't count, nerd.
S: Yes it does, because I can actually find people with the same interests as me. I love reading and talking about what I read.
M: That's not real life.
S: What is real life then? Getting drunk and talking about who had sex where? (this has been actually the main topic in all the conversations I participated while "out" since I came here...)
M: Yes.
S: Well if that's real life than goodbye to it.

I had a good day. Watching the three episodes of The Legend of Korra which perfectly lives up to it's ancestor and is incredibly funny and lovely and has already made me cry. And I was like, yeah, female character saving the day, that's the shit. Good to know something like this can exist.
Then I watched the third episode of the second season of Game of Thrones and I just marveled, because honestly I think Merlin's greatest fault, one which can't be argued upon because it's independent of our views of the depth of the storytelling, is the absolute mistreatment of female characters (I mean I do love all the ladies, Mithian was a nice break from the princess trope, too, but there is no denying they really don't put much attention into developing Gwen and Morgana, and - despite most people - I actually think it's worse in the former's case; and oh I do understand that they're not the focus and there is not much time for them but still is it too much for Gwen to have a bit more of self respect and not just run after Arthur season 2 on like a puppy). SO BACK. GoT. I've already adored it's female characters very much, because there are MANY with various depth and yeah the show still has too many random boobs but - and I guess what I'm saying is thanks to GRRM - the girls are just all awesome, whether they are kicking ass or trying to find their way or ruling over beloved characters to protect their females. And there is so much subtlety at times, like this. And anyway, this episode it got to the point where basically the only male character I found interesting was Tyrion (mostly I was frustrated with all the Renly I seriously don't give a single fuck about him) and anyway, I thought how you know in our population there's the insult don't be a pussy for someone who is weak and I thought that, in this verse? The insult would totally be don't be a dick. Because oh, of course there are brilliant male characters and the female ones are flawed, too, but most of the male ones are all so freaking preoccupied with war, I really feel like Catelyn understands everything more than Robb or Renly does. Sure she was rash in capturing Tyrion but the things she has in mind are much more sensible than all these made up kings.
Ugh GOT feelings, I didn't know I have them? I still want to read the books (I only finished the first) but so many things going on in my life ugh. I went back home for a two week vacation to see my family and rest, and now that I'm back again in Norway my head is all over the place. Two weeks of doing basically nothing and now I can't go back to having work and life outside it. Well, we'll see.
I thought about joining that "100 things" blogging challenge because the it is true people blog less properly these days, and I've felt frustrated about that, too, but I'm not sure what my topic would be, and I get way too OCD about these things eventually.
Above all, I should be working on my Merlin big bang. I recently got some awesome feedback on a story of mine so I'm a tiny bit more confident in my writing, and I also have 75% of the story panned out but it's such a big thing I'm kind of afraid of starting it? And yeah, story organizing OCD.

I chose Merlin for this month, and half of the icons were done properly but the other half was a rush. Also, lot of extras (some were done because I forgot I was only supposed to icon Merlin).

I really try to contain my excitement (still half a year left) and theorizing inclinations (what is the point when logic is so flexible?) for the next season of Merlin for reasons of health [also I'm kind of channeling everything into this
paperlegends story which is still in awfully early phases of planning because I have OCD] BUT THEN STUFF LIKE THIS COMES ALONG

So yeah, today I learned an interesting lesson about words, reading, cultures, intentions and issues? (also, quotation marks)
Despite my best intentions, looks like I'm not qualified to talk about certain issues online so I'm going to stop doing so. Not being "personally involved", it appears I can say things which have additional meanings without realizing so. I'm sad I lack the ability to express my views with correct cultural awareness.
My conscience isn't perturbed because I know who I am and that I treat people equally with respect and as much sensitivity as I can, and I believe that's what counts.
