Happy: Holidays & End of the Year & Possibly the end of the World & etc.

(Wee!Jensen hugging Mooseling!Jared, brainchild[ren?] of applegeuse :>)

I spent all morning reading Yuletide fics and nomming on bits of turkey. Now my choice is to either take a nap or to make like Rodney McKay rip someone's article to shreds (metaphorically). I've been avoiding posting on LJ for the past while because actively refraining from posting makes me feel less like a procrastinator...or something. I refresh my LJ flist and my Twitter feed every ten minutes, though, so. X3;;;

This is the first Christmas in the past three years that we didn't go down south somewhere, but that's probably a good thing because I had 150 exams to grade (I'm...60% done? or 70%, maybe? NO MORE TA-ing NEXT SEMESTER), 1 paper to write (umm...I'll get to this soon? Or beg for an extension ;;;), 1 paper to review (most professors find reviewing to be a burden, but as a lowly student, it is an ~honour. However, it means that I need to actually work on it), and lots of studies to work on (I don't even know anymore... /o\). I think school is making me lose weight again. \o\ I should do what my younger cousin did and go marry a fisherman so that I can play with dogs and lobsters and go boating instead of write papers.

I watched In Bruges with my parents last night. Nothing made sense in that movie! \o\ It just made me want to say the f-word a lot, afterwards. Tonight, we're going to watch something more brainless and action-y -- Red. Either that or Midnight in Paris, but shit blowing up sounds more fun.

I'm going to NYC for a few days with lilie_charlotte next week -- we have no idea what the heck we're going to do while we're there. We'll probably plan tomorrow night. Or at the airport the next day. :>;;; (such a contrast from our UK trip, where we would message back-and-forth on Facebook, with links to hotels/tours/passes, for 4-5 hours per day, weeks before our trip -- well, planning was a heck a lot more fun than studying for comps. XD)

In a week (+ a bit), I'm going to turn old. :( I keep forgetting this fact. I WANT TO STAY YOUNG FOREVERRRR \o\ At what point would one be considered to be in one's "mid-twenties"? Concerned minds wish to know.

NEW YORK. Eat lots of food. :)

Also I think 24-27 is probably mid-20s. I am already there. :(

[fishpatrol]

Okay, will do! I understand that the pizza there is good...or something? XD

Haha, I like how 27 is (still) mid-20s, but 23 isn't. I'm almost as old as you. :(

[postingwhore.livejournal.com]

Aww, what a cute drawing! :)

And wow, you get to review a paper? What a big-shot you are ;p

I wanna marry a fisherman, if that's the case O:

Enjoy your time in New York! :D

(Also yay for letting us free users edit comment, too, lol. XD No more deleting or adding another comment...hopefully XD)

[fishpatrol]

Thank you! :D

I made it sound specialer than it is XD There's this mentorship program for one of our top journals where professors can suggest their students to review a paper, but while the student's review will be taken into consideration, the student's review would not replace a regular (faculty) review.

Haha, idk, her photos are up at my grandparents' QQ account, and her life looks so much more relaxing than mine! XD She has dogs! And her in-laws have boats! And there are massive lobsters!

\o/

Mooseling! omg that is adorable, awwww.

RED IS SUPER AWESOME, I HOPE YOU WENT FOR THAT. ;D

Have fun in NY! That sounds like it will be amazing.

[fishpatrol]

Thanks! :DDD

My parents watched it, but I bailed out and attempted to work, but ended up on LJ and Twitter more frequently than not. XD;; They said it was good, though, so I'll probably watch it when I go back to their place next week!

merry christmas!

I really kinda love In Bruges. But i'm not really sure why.

Have Fun in nyc and good luck with grading.

Moosling!Jared is adorable.

[fishpatrol]

What was the, idk, main message of the movie? XD I was so confused throughout!

Thank you<3!

[weimar27.livejournal.com]

If you kill a child you should die. Even if its accidental or little person. That's what I think the main message is. I mostly like the performances and the dialog.

[sharona1x2.livejournal.com]

Awwwww, that's such a cute picture! I hope your holiday was nice, in spite of all the work you have to do.

[fishpatrol]

Thanks! :D I slacked more than I worked, which is not unexpected. ;) I hope you and Jay had a good Christmas! :DD

Have a fantastic time in NYC! I don't imagine that White Collar is filming just now, but I think that you should take at least one photo in a location they've used while pretending to fangirl hard/swoon because you've just seen Matt Bomer.

Stop fussing about the numbers! I've got a few years on you and I'm not old. My grandmother, who is 87 and demented? She's old. But you and me? We're babies.

[fishpatrol]

Ahaha, I don't think I'd be able to locate/recognize any of their filming locations! Suits films in Toronto and I still haven't been able to figure where the heck their "law office" is.

SEE YOU WHEN I SEE YOU <3

[cantarina]

The law office itself is probably a standing set... but as for identifying other locations? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

SEE YOU WHEN I SEE YOU <3 (Sometime in January though, yeah?)

[fishpatrol]

The exterior of the law office looks almost like the Pharmacy building, but going by the surroundings, it looks more like, idk, King Street? Does this mean you're going to watch Suits? :D You can have fun playing "figure out the location".

When are you back? I'm prooobably coming back the weekend before the 9th.

[cantarina]

I'll beat you back for a day or two, then. Want to plan something in that first week of classes?

[fishpatrol]

Possibly? Let me get back to you on that XD; (idk what my schedule will be like yet \o\)

[silverraven.livejournal.com]

Aww, that picture is SO CUTE :D

YAY New York trip! Are you going to be there for New Years Eve?

I would put mid-twenties at 24-26, which I passed years ago. Poo getting older, just poo it.

[fishpatrol]

Thank you! :D

Nope, we're coming back on the 30th. XDD (I'm not sure if I'd want to face the crowd that would be at Times Square!)

\o\ We'll be young at heart forever~

[akintay.livejournal.com]

Have fun in NY :D

The drawing is super cute btw! <3

[fishpatrol]

I am ba~~~ack :DDD

Thank you! <3

[applegeuse.livejournal.com]

YAY MOOSELING!JARED! ♥___♥ We never wrote that fic! We should still do it. :3

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE YOUNG IN MY HEART~~~~~~

Talking about marrying a fisherman only makes me want to J2 fishermen stories. >.>

[fishpatrol]

We should! If we finish in half a year, we can post it for ~Christmas in July~

AREN'T YOU SWEET <3 (but you are secretly twelve, what do you know of being ooooooold~)

Ahaha, omg, yes, do want! (speaking of J2 stories that I want, I saw Avenue Q in New York and now I really want a J2 AU version of Avenue Q!)
