I miss you guys!

Taking a fifteen minute break from revision so I thought I'd come by and finally post that update post I promised a couple of days ago (oops!)

As you can probably tell, things have been quite intense over the last few weeks. I've now handed one of my essays in but I have another one still to write (due on the 25th) and and exam on Friday (eek!). For the moment, I'm focusing on revising for the exam but I really should have started sooner because now I'm really having to cram and it's making me nervous. For those of you who don't know, I'm the type of person who usually does fine in mocks and then messes up the real thing because of nerves so I'm really trying to work on calming myself down. Not sure how successful I'm being though!

I'm so behind on reaction posts! I have half of the one for Supernatural 7.12 typed up so I may try and finish that tonight and I want to get one written for the latest episode of Leverage, too. For now, I'll just say that I loved both of the episodes! What did you guys think of them?

Writing has had to be put on  a bit of a back-burner over the last few days but rest assured, as soon as exams are over, I'm going to start catching up on the fic I owe you guys, as well as working on my challenge fic. I'm currently signed up for quite a few things but I think I can stay on top of it all once I get a bit more free time.

Who signed up for [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang this year? I signed up to write again - I have a pretty good idea what I'm going to do; a Sam/Dean case!fic set in S7, I think (and that's as specific as I'm going into for now!) What are you guys thinking of writing? Or, if you're doing art, what type of stuff do you think you want to claim this year? I'm so excited for this one!

I'm also going to be working on a Leverage reverse bang fic very soon - I'm so, so happy with the artist I claimed and I can't wait to start writing this one - the pairing is one I've never written before, even though I love it, so I'm super excited.

And I'm still working on the Stanford fic (no worries, there, [livejournal.com profile] lightthesparks !)

My top priority writing-wise is going to be working on these three fics to make sure they're all done for the deadlines. And also because I'm very excited about them :)

In other news, my cousin and his family just got a very cute Labrador puppy that we met yesterday - she's very small and very cute and it's just made me want another puppy even more than I already did. It would be so, so good for Kizzie to have another dog to play with. Kizzie's being just as cute and adorable and best-friend-ish as ever. She's been getting lots of lovely walks at the beach etc lately, too.

I was meant to be going to see The Maine and All Time Low on Wednesday with a friend but I've had to cancel so I can revise instead :( We're going to see Panic at the Disco next week, though, so at least there's that :)

Fifteen minutes is up so I should go back to revision...tell me, though, what have you guys been up to? I'm sorry I've not been commenting much!

I signed up for Big Bang again. I just can't resist.
No idea what I want to write yet but I'm collecting ideas in my LJ right now... LOL People should tell me what they think I can write. :)
I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah, I did it for the first time last year and it wasn't even really a decision whether to sign up or not this time :)

What type of thing are you leaning towards? AU, non-AU?

It's kind of addictive.. :)

I usually go for AUs when it comes to Big Bang. For some reason I'm more comfortable writing those in this challenge.

Good luck for your exam and essay, I hope you do well :)

[identity profile] theron09.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you - I'll let you know how I get on :)

[identity profile] heartsonwings.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh and, good luck for Big Bang too :P

[identity profile] theron09.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Hey, best of luck for your exam on Friday! :-)

I've signed up as an artist. Dunno what kind of fic I'm going to claim but it won't be anything too schmoopy, I'm sure.

[identity profile] theron09.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you :)

I'm sure there'll be something non-schmoopy that you can claim XD Looking forward to seeing what you produce!

[identity profile] morgentau.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope nothing too angsty either. I've become so picky, it's bordering on being ridiculous.

Thank you!

How are you at the moment?

[identity profile] lotroth.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh wow, that all sounds tough! Good luck with the essay and exam *crosses fingers*

Your entry for the big bang sounds awesome, can't wait to read it :D

And yay for puppies! \o/ She sounds adorable~

Still jealous of the Panic! at the Disco concert XD They only play in UK, so I've seen :(
Oh well, I'm sure it's going to be awesome!

Take care of yourself, hun *hugs*

[identity profile] theron09.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's been pretty intense...I'll just be glad when it's the weekend and the exam is done because I have most of the essay prepared now.

Eeek, I hope it turns out awesome! I've had the idea for a little while so I'm excited about finally getting time to write it :)

Yeah, I'm really surprised they're even coming to Newcastle, to be honest, because no-one ever really comes here!

Thank you, you too <3

hey you!

sometimes you just gotta focus on RL stuff. It's important. take the time that you need.

I signed up for big bang as an artist of course! No way I can skip such a beautiful event! ;)

[identity profile] theron09.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey! Thanks for being understanding, hon. How are you doing?

Yay! I'm so looking forward to seeing your art again :)

[identity profile] kros-21.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
a bit stressed from work but everything is going alright. :)

[identity profile] trollmela.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
A big bang??

---Eh, better not. I did consider it for like five minutes :D But I really shouldn't and 20k is still a bit too much. However, the Adam Winchester comm is beginning to organize an Adam mini/big bang, which I may take part in.

Good luck for your exams and the essay!

[identity profile] theron09.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no...really? An Adam mini-bang? Do you have a link to the post? I'm, erm, seriously tempted....I should check the deadlines etc first though!

Thanks <3

[identity profile] trollmela.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It hasn't been set up yet, but signs are pointing towards it and there's a poll here. I'm sure they'll announce it at the [personal profile] adamwinchester and other comms once it happens.

So, no idea what the deadlines will be, yet - or even if it will turn into a big bang after all :)

[identity profile] theron09.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, okay...I might keep an eye on it, then :) Thank you!

[identity profile] aznara.livejournal.com 2012-01-17 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
(sorry for the comment I had to delete... I clicked "done" waaay too soon on the iPad)

Anyway, it's so great you're signing up for Big Bang again! =)

Also, I HATE YOU FOR GETTING TO SEE PANIC. I almost wanted to go to one of their UK shows (seeing as I'm in Spain right now, this would have proved difficult...). I hope you'll tell us how it was!

Good luck on your exam!

[identity profile] theron09.livejournal.com 2012-01-18 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
No worries ;)

Yeah, I'm really excited to be taking part again -I had so much fun last time and I think I will again this year!

Awww, it's a shame you can't get to see them at the moment - I'll definitely let you know how it goes

Thank you!

Good luck with the essay and the exam ♥

I've heard about so many awesome fic ideas for big bang already - it's gonna be a good year, I think :D

[identity profile] theron09.livejournal.com 2012-01-18 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you :)

Yeah, it seems like there's a lot of interesting ideas already and a lot of awesome people signed up to take part - I'm looking forward to lots of lovely things to read ;)

[identity profile] beatlette.livejournal.com 2012-01-19 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Good luck on your exam and essay! Be sure to breathe whenever you feel nervous about exams :)

The puppy sounds adorable! <3

The Maine...do you have any song recommendations of theirs? They are playing at Bamboozle this year and I may check them out :]

[identity profile] theron09.livejournal.com 2012-01-19 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you :) Haha, yeah, I think I need to remember to do that!

She was :) It was ages since I'd been around a puppy so it was fun playing with her.

Hmmm, it was really my friend we were going for (I hadn't heard of them until she mentioned it) but they're pretty good, I think. Songs I've listened to and liked are: Inside of You and While Listening to Rock and Roll :)
