Hm... That's a tough one. There's Beat it, Thriller, and... maybe Black or White. Oh, and Will you be there. Yeah, I think that's it... The four of them.

I actually tore a muscle and a joint in my shoulder while playing with a dog. I threw the ball a little too hard.

I think mine is a hopeless case...

Other than that, well, nothing new. Still haven't written. But I started a new book series, "The Banned and the Banished" by James Clemens. It's very, very good fantasy, gripping, compelling, all that... I started the first one... and never stopped. If you like fantasy, I strongly suggest it.

I've been downloading Advent Children complete for four days now. I want that movie, badly so, and, being in Europe, I have to wait until november to get it, which is totally unfair. So, being my sneaky self, I decided to download it (I'll buy it in November anyway. I'd like to have the french version). And guess what?

It stopped at 90%.

After 4 days.

And won't start again.

...

I hate my life.

Second day of exams, and I'm here, writing on my journal, which is kinda sad. I'm supposed to be in a classroom writing for the administrative law final, and yet can't find it in me to care...

I procrastinated for so long that I ended up passing the dates, it's too late to start studying now. How pathetic... Does the fact that I don't know what the hell I want to do with my life make me a bad person? I don't want to end up working in a burger joint for the rest of my existence... 

I don't know what's wrong with me, but, I think I'm gonna give up on law studies. Let's face it, it's boring, depressing, and so overly strict it turns me into the kind of person I never wanted to be. I don't even really know why I chose law, really (I plead temporary insanity)... I don't have the right personality for it, I'm the kind of girl who can spend hours working on a piano sheet, drawing, reading, writing, or... anything else as long as it doesn't involve strict rules. I need a job, I know it, and I won't get a good one if I don't graduate in something, but I think I'll give up the law thing, it's just not for me (no offense to the law lovers out there). 

Which brings me to the next big question. In today's society, where the first thing that defines you in people's opinion is your job, is it bad to just want to make enough money to get by, and have time to write and read and draw, and live? I wonder... 
And I think my family will never forgive me if I just give up and choose to find a job. They have such high expectations of me... 

I think I'll graduate as a part time student, and get a job on the side... but what kind of job, that's what I don't know.

But anyway, on a more cheerful note, I'll soon have enough time to go back to my writing, which means that I'll FINALLY update my fics. Well, some of them anyway...

Okay, so, I should probably be working on my paper for civil law class right about now, but I can find it in me to really care. That'll be be my downfall, I'm sure of it, at some point... ^^

I read my previous posts and, Oh-my-fucking-God, did I really go through a Pink phase? Forgot about that... That's really embarrassing you know? I wish I wasn't so random sometimes. I got over it, thankfully, and am back to my usual tastes, Jimmy Eat World being my current obsession along with tons of better stuff, such as New Order, the Strokes, Placebo or the Pixies... Oh, and a little bit of Paramore, because no matter what I do, I'll always be random, and I sort of became obsessed with the songs from the Twilight movie.

And Twilight fics (lots of good ones out there).

And the Twilight way of life (Vamps are the best).

And Rob Pattinson (Lickable).

And I really do have a one-track mind.

Other than that, got tickets for the next U2 concert in France, and believe me I had to fight my way through a bunch of crazy chicks to get them, it was messy. 
Okay, not really. But I did wait in line for 4 hours. And it was cold.

I'm thinking of signing myself up for some writing, would do me some good to get prompts. (Rebecca, if you read this, I do remember yours)^^

Lol, no, thank God. St Patrick isn't that popular in France, though we do go out and drink beer, just because. Not that we really need an excuse anyway... ^^ I'm not even wearing green today, hadn't realized what the date was, that's how out the loop I am these days. Too bad, I have a set of green clothes especially customized for the occasion.

So, happy St Patrick's day to you all, don't get too wasted (it's always better when you actually remember how much fun you had), and if you do, do it with Guiness at least... Kudos!!;)

Ladybugs. Everytime I catch one with seven dots on its back, I make a wish before letting it fly away... I don't know about the US or any other country, but in France at least, they are supposed to be good luck. And there's of course, the shooting star... 

Maybe it's completely useless, yes, and maybe it's a little childish, but taking the time to make a wish doesn't necessarily mean you're weak and won't do a thing to make your own life better, that you'll just sit here and wait for good things to happen. It just means you still have some small measure of hope for a better world inside of you. I used to be a dreamer, and I became so cynical over the years that sometimes I scare myself...

Asking for small favors from the universe can't hurt, right? And maybe voicing these wishes helps us work harder to make them come true. The uiverse probably doesn't care what we want, but as long as we ourselves do, that's got to mean something.^^
 
Anyway, that was the useless post of the day... somebody shut me up please... =)

I just read my previous posts and noticed a sort of pattern... the music.

I'm definitely going through a P!ink phase these days. And that's definitely not the type of music I listen to the rest of the time... lol, I just love her songs, a nice change sometimes, some sort of shameless guilty pleasure, if that makes sense. Like a sweet, sugar loaded candy that I really shouldn't eat, even if her albums are definitely not of the sugar sweet kind. And damn, the girl can sing.

Besides, Stupid Girls? That, people, is one of the most hilarious songs in the world, at least for me...lol, and, scarily enough, also a pretty accurate view on society.

But, really, now that I think about it, I really do have eclectic tastes in music... it goes from metal, to indie, to pop (especially the british kind), to trip hop (who never heard Glory Box, from the amazing Portishead?). Usually people think I'm weird, I listen to some strange stuff sometimes that nobody knows...^^

What about you people? Your type of music? Come on, I wanna know... 

I might post a drawing later today. I should be working on my fics, but I don't know... I don't really feel like it at the moment.

I'm working on a FFVII fic, canon, set some time after DoC, if that makes sense for anyone here.

Amélie Nothomb, most definitely! That woman is absolutely unique... 

I also would have loved to hear Baudelaire tell some of his poems. I guess reading them now takes some of the magic away.

Well, I'm not american, but I sympathize with you all, really... I can't imagine the lines there must be, it'll probably take you forever to get out of there. What wouldn't we do for our personal and fundamental freedoms, uh?

I can't wait to know who will be elected in the end. With the time difference, I'll be sitting in front of the TV until the wee hours of the morning, waiting to know the results. I'll be a zombie tomorrow...^^

I'm curious though... do you really get free stickers?

Big Blackout today in two departments, we've been in the dark (figuratively speaking, since well, it's day) for a little more than two hours... Which means, no trains, and no trains leads to no school. So, I came back home, didn't want to risk going there anyway and ending up stuck about 80 km away from home with no way of transportation.

One lazy day for me, and it's not even my fault! yay!!

Funny how nowadays, without technology, we humans are just a flock of lost sheeps. Really, it was a small apocalypse, no streetlights, no coffee (ouch), people stuck in elevators, no transports, no internet, no phone, nothing... I say we go back to the old ways, horses and smoke signals. What do you think? Wouldn't that be nice? Almost 100% ecological.

Anyway, here I am, home, with my warm milk and chocolate, about to watch 'Elizabeth'. Cate Blanchett really is awesome...

Ah, I have my special habits for the season... thick, heavy sweaters, a comfy couch with a blanket, and a mug of hot milk with honey and cinnamon. That's what I like best this time of the year. Fall is a beautiful season, red and yellow leaves, rain... What's not to like about it? Though, I'll admit that the short days get kind of depressing after a while, so I found over the years that a fireplace and a good book always help. That, and a warm embrace of course, but I think that's reserved to the lucky ones out there.

I'm from the south of France, so, it takes a while for the air to get cold around here (never before december or january), but used as I am to the heat it's still surprising to find myself getting cold in the middle of the afternoon...

I just realised that I never introduced myself!

So, where to start... My name's Marine, I'm french, and I'm 21 years old. I'm a student in law school, a little lost in life but somehow always managing to keep my head above water (though I have a tendency to sink every once in a while. I'm just a pierced boat, really...).

I like to write, but lately the muse has been a little mean. My fanfics are pretty much abandoned, the novel I'm working on is advancing very, very slowly... I hope it's just a phase, really.

I'm involved in several fandoms, Buffy the vampire slayer for starters, Alias, Final Fantasy VII... I'm a little obsessed. FFVII is my most important obsession these days, but it can change very quickly. B/A shipper to the bone, (Buffy/Angel pairing), Cloud/Tifa, and some others... 

I don't want to bore you to tears, so I'm gonna stop here, I think I told you the essential anyway!

Bon allez, un petit post en français, ça peut pas faire de mal pas vrai?

Je devrais être en train de bosser mon commentaire d'arrêt, mais... arf, c'est dur de se motiver. Je préfèrerais écrire à la place. Mais en français, personne ne lira, évidemment...

It's a dark story, of a world in ruins trying to rebuild itself, of wasted lives and hopeless dreams... with a little bit of magic and a lot of mysteries.

		I will marry Ethan Hawke.
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in New York in our fabulous House.
		We will have 34 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a Red VW Bug.
		I will spend my days as a President, and live happily ever after.

Hey there!!

Well, this is my first post on my brand new LJ... I'm proud... lol

It's a rainy day (which, on the french riviera, is supposed to be rare occurence... but it's been pouring for about 3 weeks. I'm sick of it...), and I was bored to tears, so I decided to get myself a place where I could post my babblings and my writings.

I hope you'll enjoy it here, thanks for reading!^^
