3:31 pm - New chapter of L,C,G
|
I abandoned this fic for a long time because I was worried that the content was far too Mary-Sue, and while I enjoyed writing it immensely, I did not want to disappoint anyone reading it.But several elements of HBP (writing style as well as content) made me determined to finish this. So, finally, chapter 20 of Lupus, Canis and Gemini...
( Read more... )

1:08 am - Mmmmmm .... Passoa
|
Well, it's my last Wednesday at Uni before Easter break, (I leave on Friday) so we all went for celebratory drinks at the awesome 'Evil Eye' bar. And I discovered the best drinks...
The Heaven cocktail is exactly that:- Baileys, chocolate liquer (or liquor depending on where you're from), chocolate sauce, cream and chocolate icecream. Oh my, I nearly died. Had three of them in a row - I've put on about 6pounds just from that but my god it was worth it.
Passoa and Orange. I already discovered this on a trip to Poland about 4 years ago, but Passoa is so difficult to find in the UK. It tastes just like Um Bongo (do you remember that drink? Um Bongo Um Bongo, they drink it in the congo apparently...) but you can get through about 5 in a minute.
So, I'm in slightly tipsy heaven, listening to crazy skipping Bohemian Rhapsody and am about to laugh my arse of to Family Guy. Life is so good.

2:32 am - New fic!
|
Well, this one has been playing on my mind for quite some time. Finally got it all out - but I kind of had to be in the mood to write it properly. Because, well, it's quite ... let's say, melancholy. I've never really liked songfics, but this scene wouldn't stop playing in my head every time I listened to the song. But I'm afraid I've ruined it for myself forever.
Title: Half A World Away

8:30 pm - Paid Account
|
Woohoo! Have *finally* got a paid account, but am totally at a loss for how to customize it. Curse my lack of computer knowledge. I will have plenty of time to arse around and generally cock up, though, because I only got up at about 3:30 pm, just in time to see the sun start to set. Hooray for lying in - and locked doors, too, what a blessing - no-one poking their heads round your door every two minutes seeing if you have any money to lend. NO I DON'T - I'm utterly BROKE!
I'm hoping that actually expending money on this thing will make me update more often - and encourage me to update my fics that are currently suffering from dust coverage. The bunnies all attacked at once and left me feeling too lethargic to finish any of them. Damn lack of motivation.
What doesn't help is that I'm currently waiting for mumps to attack ... all my friends from home (and my sister, who I spend considerable time in close quarters with) have had them, and after glandular fever destroyed my immune system a couple of months ago, it's only a matter of time before the horrible germs surface and make me look like a hamster - AGAIN.
C'est la vie, I guess.
Oh, and I love this icon, made by Raelala. They just remind me of Crowley and Aziraphale from Good Omens. Mmmmm, the combination of so many good things at once makes me want to explode. But I won't, because this room is a tip already - policewoman's hat? how do random things just deposit themselves in my room? The mind boggles.

4:21 am - Don't ask
|
Well, I'm in the middle of finishing an essay that is frustrating me no end, when who pops up on my msn? My best friend from home with much gossip and romantic dilemmas. So I promptly leave my work to talk to him. It gets to maybe 3am, and I'm thinking I should probably finish my essay that is due to be handed in in less than 12 hours, when there's a knock on my door, and my very drunk housemate Gary stumbles in - with blood all over his face. I race to the rescue, ring an ambulance, mop his face, stare in horror at the gashes around his eye, try and figure out what the hell he's done and generally Florence Nightingale the best I can while he just sits there bleeding in a very drunk possibly concussed mess. I have to delegate the task of going to the hospital with him to my capable friend Emily so I can think about finishing this essay. I have done, and I'm not happy with it. And Alex went offline telling me he'd gossip with me later. And I feel bad about abandoning Gary for work. And I'm waiting up for them to get back. Not a good start to the day. Not in the slightest.

Grrr ... So, I finally decide to get off my arse and buy a paid account in order to sort out this mess of a page - and guess what? I've lost my purse. Somewhere in my room (I think.) But this is probably all for the best since I only have £50 left at the bottom of my overdraft - eeek!
Went home at the weekend. Very expensive. Mum's birthday (sat) & Mothers Day all in one big expensive weekend. I ended up spending £75 on impromptu Coldplay tickets - on TOP of the presents I'd already bought for her (but at least I'm going, too - haHa!)
Just a quickie because I'm currently lying in bed trying to work up the energy or enthusiasm to get up and write an essay. Oh God, just thinking about it makes me want to go back to sle- zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hooray! I managed to go over 80 hours without chocolate or biscuits of any kind. This is very good for an at-least-12-a-day habiter. Then I fell off the wagon, but I have mitigating circumstances. Anyway, here's the link for the 19th chapter of Lupus Canis and Gemini...

5:27 pm - Update
|
Oh dear - I've been away for a very long time... oops.
Been busy with lots of things, Uni work (or TRYING to do Uni work, at least trying to stay away from the pub so I can THINK about Uni work), finding me a job for Easter, housemate crises, snagging a new boyfriend (mmmm, the yummy Jason who asked me out on Valentines Day - eeeep! I'm so full of good will it's unbelievable!)
Also, had many a family crisis, mainly my dad FINALLY telling the bitch he's GP partners with where to stick her mood swings and demands and insults and having babies all the time ... I really don't like her. The major complication is that her son is one of my very good friends, but she's a bitch to him, too, so I hate her on many levels. It's a good move on my dad's part, but I just hope we don't have to move.
Anyway, the main reason for this post is to say there's a much overdue Lupus, Canis, Gemini update and I'll post the link when it's finally up on (the demonic) ff.net.
Oh, and to remind myself to diet, diet, DIET! No more chocolate for me.
To finish, two really dumb (and one a little unPC to laugh at) headlines...
My friend Alex sent me this one :-
"Pope still breathing by himself, vatican says"
And this one took me a while to figure out what the hell was weird about it

5:10 pm - Time Out
|
Well, work and relationships and house-hunting were all getting a bit on top of me so I decided to take myself off home for an extended weekend from Wednesday til Saturday.
It started off nice and refreshing - just lazing and cooking and playing on the Sims 2 and generally not doing any of the work I'd taken home with me - and I felt heaps better. I had a small cold, which didn't merit at all the pampering I gave myself (Oh, GOD, I LOVE baths) but I defend myself slightly by saying that I had glandular fever barely over a month ago and I'm still recovering by catching every virus going. Oh, and I'm lazy.
Anyway, I got sidetracked from my relaxation when I discovered that there were no plans at all for my best friend from home (Simon)'s 18th birthday (on the 8th Feb) so I took it upon myself (despite being totally broke) to hold a party for him at my house. It was a pretty textbook party - plenty of alcohol, plenty of random games (pin the baby on the chav being a new, thrilling addition), plenty of fun and plenty of drama as the kissing actions of two members sends shockwaves and heartaches round everyone else in my very tightly knit group. Sigh - I happen to be agony aunt and general mother to everyone (although don't be fooled - I have organised matters around myself so this is so), so it's up to me (and my very helpful sister) to pick up the pieces.
In completely unrelated circumstances I got rid of a boyfriend - who, while being one of my closest friends is altogether too much trouble romantically, and long distance relationships often fail anyway - but re-gained a coveted closeness with my other best friend. As Mia Wallace says in Pulp Fiction, you know you've found someone special when you can just shut the hell up. Other than my sister, Alex is the one person I've ever truly been able to enjoy a comfortable silence with. Some of our deepest and most intimate conversations (and we've had plenty - any time (between 1 and 3am most commonly) anywhere (the streets are very deserted early in the morning) have been held with reflective 10 minute gaps punctuating the confessions. Having seen him only twice in the past two months it was great to get away from everyone else and just enjoy each other's company. And it's weird to admit, but in many ways that was far more satisfying than the intimacy (I'm sure I don't need to go into detail) I'd enjoyed with my boyfriend just before. Oh well - no wonder we split up!
Anyway, I've been suffering an overload of inspiration but a terrible lack of motivation. I've got plenty of bunnies just loitering around my back garden, but I've made a promise to myself not to pay any attention to them until I've completed the next chapter of 'Lupus, Canis and Gemini'. Except for the short parody I'm halfway through for Prisoner of Azkaban. Ooops. Since the OotP script went ka-put I've been itching to do something like it... but it's L,C,G and Two's Company I'll focus on from now on - promise!
Don't be strangers,
Sham

11:01 pm - So much stuff, so little time!
|
OK, so, perhaps not THAT much stuff, certainly not all that interesting, but it's still news!
Finally saw Team America: World Police last week! Hooray! It was sooooo funny, met all my expectations. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are gods. Derka derka Muhammed Ali derka Jihad. Rude, offensive and a totally accurate depiction of how the west sees the east. If you haven't seen it, do. And if you have and didn't like it (like my sister) see it again and love it. That's an order.
I'm so ronery, so ronery, so ronery and sadly arone...
Ahem, I'll move on swiftly because it is very sad to have gotten the soundtrack simply for that song.
What else did I do? Oh yeah, after my surprise from my friends last Saturday I got another visit (scheduled this time) on Weds. 5 of my friends came up from home so I had a fun time showing them round York (student bar, the local pub, then into town to the Nags Head (packed, it was just a big seething people wall) and the Evil Eye (very cool, extremely random cocktail bar)) then we carried on drinking back at my house and at about 2am I could a full roast beef dinner while they went and arsed about on a nearby playpark - my friend Jamie now has bruises all down his left side. Note to all - never, EVER, try and run on a roundabout when drunk. I'm still amazed I fit 6 people in a student bedroom. Huge achievement, I feel, to fit four on the floor and me and my boyfriend in the bed. Although none of us got any sleep.
They took me back with them when they drove home because I went to a concert in Manchester on Friday.
GREENDAY RULE! Sigh, overcome with fangirly adoration. It was amazing, THEY were amazing. I saw them at Leeds festival in the summer, but this time they had more to play from American Idiot, which is pretty good (Wake Me Up When September Ends is fantastic) and Billy Joe is eye-linered sex on legs. I'm claustrophobic so I found a spot at the very edge of the crowd, against the barrier in the pit, which was perfect, and I was only 2m or so from the stage, and Billy Joe kept wandering over... have some awesome pics... and at one point (during Hitching a Ride) I turned around and noticed the lead singer of New Found Glory (who were also brilliant) was watching from the floor behind me! He nodded and took himself and his beer backstage, but cool nonetheless.
I also spent a terrible amount of time playing Sims 2 at home, that game is just so addictive. Fortunately I only have regular Sims and an XBox here, so games don't eat so much into my time - although a game of Zelda on my mate's PC (emulator.. tut tut) is a very fun social event. What a game. Ocarina of Time, naturally.
Anyway, despite all this I've actually managed to update something!
The latest installment of Two's Company is but a clickety click away... (Sorry it's starting at the first chapter - it wouldn't let me link to the latest ... grrrr)

1:49 pm - Yawn...
|
OK, so I had a random surprise last night...
I was getting ready for bed at about 1am (it was so early because we'd gone for a meal for a housemate's birthday and the Chardonnay had made me very drowsy) when the phone in my room rang. I didn't recognise the person squealing on the other end until the voice went 'It's Rachael!'
Rachael is my younger sister (by a little over a year) but also my best friend. Sickly awwwws may be inserted [here]. Anyway, I'm surprised but pleased that she's ringing me, but even more shocked when she announces, 'be up at 4, we're coming over'.
'Over' is driving for 3 hours in my (psychotic) friend Jamie's car from the other side of the country to find me in a place none of them really know how to get to. However, as promised my sister wakes me up again at 4am, ringing my phone from outside. Other than my sister and driver Jamie, my friends Emma, Aaron and boyfriend Ben had also come. I showed them round my room and house, and my dirty stopout housemates Emily and Gary joined us as they came in from a party. In total, they stayed for just over an hour and a half before making the 3 hour journey home again. My sister got an hours sleep this morning before she had to be off again to a gig.
Taking Back Sunday rule - I wish I was going...
Anyway, my new timetable means I have Friday off, so I'm using my 3-day weekend to do bursts of ff.writing in between many hours of drudgery over French translation. Sigh. Oh, and going out. :)
So, back to slaving away...

So, went home at the weekend... (home, incidentally, being Blackpool for those of you who know England) ... as Dorothy says, there's no place like it.
Going back was fun, especially as it was very impromptu - I'm given to impulse and rash decisions. But here's how it came about...
Friday
I'd been desperate to see Team America: World Police for, like, EVER, and we'd finally arranged to go see it on the 14th - the day it came out. To get myself in the mood I dragged myself out of bed at the ungodly hour of 8 o'clock and got into town for 10am, and bought myself the South Park the Movie on DVD. Here I must make a confession, I am a scarily huge fan of Trey Parker and Matt Stone (creators of South Park for those of you who don't know). I started watching South Park from the first time it was aired on British TV (to impress a guy I knew) and have seen every episode ever made (I know because I went through them all when I had nothing to do in September - all 120+ I have watched and loved. Except for the Jackovosaurs episode, that one sucks. Yes I am a very scary, very thourough geek). I love Baseketball even if they didn't write it, they play up the surreal, often immature, humour brilliantly, Orgasmo was amazing and I'm desperately trying to get a hold of Hannibal: The Musical. Anyway, you may be wondering (among other things, most of them possibly to do with my sanity) how I can call myself a huge SP fan and not own the film. Well, ner, I DO own the film, twice actually, but I have no way to watch VHS at Uni. But I digress, a lot, so I bought the film and sat with my crass friends to laugh my ass off at satirical, scathing and silly humour.
By the closing titles I was all ready for puppet sex but my housemate Iain wanted to come watch the film with us and had ordered us to wait for him while he went to the pub to celebrate the end of his exams. So we waited. And waited. And called him - no reply. And waited. And waited. And eventually got pissed off and went without him, but of course we were too late for the film. Gutted is probably an accurate description of how I was feeling. But then I got over it (obviously, I mean it was only a film, which we're going to see tomorrow anyway) with the aid of some delicious Italo-American food... mmmmmm .... and political discussion (my friend Emily is borderline Commie, my friend Emma is on the fence and my friend Jake is more right-wing than he lets on. I'm a disputist, whatever anyone says I'll argue to the death about it. People hate me.) .... and alcohol. Just a bit.
The drinking carried on as we met friends in town. I was tee-total for a year, but now I'm at Uni I'm back to my old drinking habits. Which are actually very responsible drinking habits, just the few drinks every now and then. And Friday was one of these now and thens. After town we carried on drinking at someone's house. It was then my friend Emma went off for bed early because she had to be up at 4 am to get her train that I decided that staying up til 4 to get the train would be a great idea. Which it wasn't. I was knackered when I finally got home at 9am and went straight to bed. But at least I got to see my yummy boyfriend ...
Anyway, now I'm back at Uni and have a new total of 6 work hours a week! Hooray! So I've got plenty of time to update things and get my own business sorted out.
There's no place like home, there's no place like home...
Oh, and check this out... the world is such a weird place...

1:21 am - Resolution
|
OK, New Year, new start.
Resolutions:
1) Will regularly update this site.
2) Will regularly update stories and overcome writer's block.
3) Will keep resolutions.
There, they're written down which means they can demand, in strict black and white, that I stick to them.
Right, so, obeying resolution 1 :- What I did today...
Sadly, not much. I'm in my first week back at Uni after Christmas break, so I don't have anything to do this week, and only about 6 hours contact time per week after that (I take English Literature... what a subject, I highly recommend it for those inclined towards late nights, later risings and free time.)
However, by a cruel twist of fate I had a supervisory meeting this morning. In a random place I didn't know. That happened to be very far off campus. And involved waiting for the bus, a 15 min bus journey and then 20 minutes wandering about in the freezing can't-decide-if-it's-hail-or-sleet rain and freak winds in the middle of town looking for the damn place. Turns out my 2 minute meeting was a pointless waste of time and wasn't worth getting up at 7am for. Honestly, I haven't seen 7am from this side in two years. Staying up til 7am is a feat, but a regular achievement. Waking up at 7am is pure torture and I vow never to do it again...
Oh! Resolution 4) Never, ever get up before 10am, EVER again.
Well, after that I was totally disheartened for the rest of the day and frittered the hours away with a selection of dossing about, hanging around, chilling out and making rude sentences on the fridge with the erotic word magnet kit I bought yesterday. I won't repeat any of the sentences adorning our fridge, but rest assured they are the filthiest, most crass phrases that a group of 7 University freshers can come up with. Time well spent, I feel.
Such strenuous activity has left me exhausted, and since everyone else went to bed unusually early I'm going to hit the sack, too.

Oh and, Jaded Waterfall - thankyou for your comments - but, which story did you read? I'm afraid the Phoenix shows little sign of rising from the flames as yet, but 'Lupus' is alive and kicking.

8:04 pm - Back from the dead
|
Huzzah and all sorts of jolly English celebratory phrases! I am back in the world of the internet, praise be to laptop manufacturers everywhere and the fathers that pay for them!
Months after my original posts I am back and writing to the very small (ergo very select) audience of this journal and my fanfics, after many traumatic months of no computer, then no internet, then no damn MS Word, and finally arriving at University with a brand spanking new laptop with very cheap internet - so huzzah once more comrades.
The move has been the one occasion worthy of particular note - yes, I have flown the nest and moved across the country to the University of York. Those who don't have a clue about British geography please hold up your left hand in front of your face... This is Enlgand - with Scotland and Wales etc lopped off because unless your hand is extremely deformed they won't be represented by your palm. Now the outside of the knuckle of your index finger is Blackpool, where I used to live and the top joint of your little finger is York. Helpful? Totally pointless? Unnecessary information? Whatever, it filled a few lines.
I won't tire you with accounts of my Uni escapades so far, except to say we have called out the emergency services five times in as many weeks. Two ambulances - one for a panic attack, one for someone who accidentally put his hand through our kitchen window, two fire engines - one totally accidental, one by coked-up Geordies who invaded our house for no reason, and then a tow truck for when one of the fire engines broke down. I have also knocked myself out twice with giddy antics and am generally having an awesome time. One piece of advice to everyone - go to University! Do it! Cheap drinks and general irresponsibility!
Anyway, onto more business-like matters:- *fan fiction section*
The stories ...
OotP - Trying to work up the energy to have another stab at this... but am failing miserably. It WAS fun, but is just turning into hard work, and I don't want to post the same old gripes and sarcastic comments. Am considering turning this into a fan fiction parody, but am concerned that such a move would be intensely hypocritical until my own writing improves.
Lupus, Canis and Gemini - I'M very sorry this had such a big gap - I'm really enjoying writing it. Promise regular updates from now on - will try to manage one a week! and be patient - all will be revealed... oOOOoooOOOoooh!
Draco - Have a good feeling about this, but am trying to figure a definite plot or angle before making this a permanent project.
And now, a plea!
If anyone is reading this with ANY drawing talent, I am looking for some companion art if any scene strikes you as draw-able, I have been doing some myself but nothing worthy of the internet yet - I'm just starting.
Oh, and if anyone has any requests for stories/plot lines/one shots I'm looking for some inspiration for some side-projects. I have ideas of my own, but wanted to know what 'the public' (if there are any of you) wants.
Ciao, and once more huzzah!

5:38 pm - First Post
|
Well, this is my first post, the previous entry being a sort of pre-post post if you excuse the diabolical phrasing.
Where to begin. Te beginning would be favorite, but there isn't one really, as there's not really any plot, but people like to see a beginning or a starting point or they get uncomfortable. And I just get plain confused.
Some background then,
In the real world I'm Sarah Cook. 18, British and suffer from having an absurdly perfect life. This is a terrible affliction, as it means I'm always absolutely happy and never have anything to complain about and am consequently an emotionally stunted person as it is suffering that causes us to grow. I am stunted to such an extent that in experience and maturity I am less than 2 inches high. In physical form I am a little bigger.
Seeking greater satisfication from something other than absolute perfection I spend much of my life in my imagination, using books, films and, most often, my own head as an escape. However, this is supposedly a waste of valuable time, so I now transpose my thoughts to paper, where I can provide evidence of time wasting. I have also taken refuge in the internet, which is marginally more acceptable than retreating to my mind.
And so, I have created my alias, Sham Harga. (Stolen from Terry Pratchett, in whose Discworld I spend most of my free time) As Sham I submit to not only this site, but fanfiction.net, fictionpress.com (very little stuff is on there at the minute as most of my original fiction is still very much a working progress) and hopefully soon Deviant Art.
Any other information about me I'm sure can be gathered from whatever entries follow. There's not much, but I shan't insult your intelligence by spoon feeding my personality and interests to you.
To the present day, am currently sat at my extremely temperamental computer in my home in North West England. Am pleasantly surprised that the sun is shining enough to reflect off my screen, but annoyed at the headaches this gives me. We are expecting a return to normal dull and rainy tomorrow. My ready-meal sweet-and-sour chicken is overdone because I forgot about it, but still edible. I'm sure I'll have to eat worse at Uni.
Uni - I'm very nervous. I got my confirmation letter for my acceptance at York University this morning - after results day on the 19th. Was highly relieved to get 4 As so I got my required grades to go study English Lit. Sadly, going to University inn October I'm sure will eat into my time for fan fiction and the like, so I'm full steam ahead trying to round stories off in a month. The trouble being said stories so far only have about 7 chapters online out of the 35 or so that are in my head. Not good odds really. Hence my need to abandon this to give attention to one entitled 'Lupus, Canis and Gemini'...
Sarah.
I suppose I could use this spot to give updates on such stories' progress
L,C,G - Storyline absolutely worked out, all glitches solved. It's just a case of writing it, and I'm trying to force myself to do it in order instead of the interesting chapters first...
OotP script - Erm, it's a bit on hold still, as I try to figure a better way round this 'no script' rule. But I'm working on it.
Sham.
current mood:  determined
current music: Weird Al, James Brown, Chili Peppers

12:48 am - Bad start
|
It has been said that you should start as you mean to go on. I say rubbish, because if that were true then anybody reading this would be instantly deterred by both the lack of quantity and quality of this entry and I don't want to scare off my two readers. As it is, this wil be an INCREDIBLY bad start, but if you point out that something will be bad in the beginning then it negates its badability and nobody can complain. Or at least that's the way the world seems to work.
I have nothing really to enter at the minute, but I spent long enough setting up this damn thing on my damn slow computer then I'm damn well gonna write an entry. Damn. Ahem. Having not slept properly in a while, and needing to be up at the ridiculous hour of 7 in the am tomorrow I'm about to go get some well earned zzzz s in. And by tomorrow I shall be fit and ready to grace these virtual pages with carefully crafted anecdotes and witticisms. Or something along those lines.
current mood: tired
current music: The sweet sounds of silence & the irritating 'bings' of msn.
