You Are the "T" Block

You are very flexible and adaptable. You're able to fill almost any role or do almost any job.

You are peaceful and calm. In fact, you're so tranquil that people often forget you're around.

You prefer to leave the drama to other people. That being said, you sometimes end up cleaning up someone else's mess.

You don't mind doing the dirty work every so often. You're a true team player, and you're always happy to contribute.

So, around the start of June, I moved into the shared flat that Mark was living in. Sometime this month, we're moving to the upstairs flat, where we don't have to share with anyone! Our first proper place! :D Doesn't have the funky kitchen of this flat we're in now, but we have our privacy, so we can walk around in whatever we want, whenever we want, cause we're living together in a flat that we're not sharing with anyone else! :D

Can anyone say, Party?! XD

Ok, so my status on Facebook should be, 'Rachel is making her Pokémon have babies so then she can buy things for her villa.' Cause... that's what I'm doing. I'm making my Pokémon have babies. It's kinda fun actually, cause I just got a Kadabra and a Lopbunny to successfully breed.

And I've just realised, I hate my microwave at the moment, so why did I buy microwaveable eats? I fail.

Who the fuck steals a tin opener? Since I've moved in we (as in me, Mark and Craig, the other flat mate) have lost three tin openers. We've gone out, come back and lo and behold, no fucking tin opener. Who the fuck steals a tin opener? Who steals three? We've spoken to the landlord about the door that doesn't always close by itself, but all he's done is change the lock. It's the fucking Yale lock thingy itself that needs looking at!

And the flat smelt of a deodorant that we've not smelt since I moved in... Since the other tenant legged it... But it could have been Craig and new man'fume... Maybe I should look in the shed for the tin openers... :|

Other news, I drove to Cardigan today after having stupid people in the shop. It was fun and chill outy. Also made me wanna listen to Busted, so I'm reripping my CDs, cause it fucked up the first time but I could never be bothered to redo them.

Urgh.

The remastered version of Children of The Gods is no where near as good as the original. Some of the lines don't even work now that parts have been edited differently. Don't like it.

So glad that isn't meant as a replacement. Having the lols out of it made it really difficult to watch... And Sam seems kinda arrogant at times... Maybe not arrogant, but not so likeable. And they way she was coveting another woman's husband? I know she does it in the original, but I didn't mind cause she basically said, 'Hai, I is a guy even if I has no balls.' Just wasn't as good. :(

What is the dumbest thing you've ever done?

View 560 Answers

Not the dumbest ever, but I will not read eBay orders right. I just had to quickly package up another product for someone because I only gave them 1 of what they wanted, not the two that they ordered... So I'm gonna e-mail the lady now and say, 'Hai, I had the dumb yesterday so you get soaps separately! Bai!' ... Just a bit more formally, obviously.

I once sent a big emergency blanket (those foil things) when they guy wanted the small one with a whistle. Boss wasn't happy.

Ok, not emailed her cause, to my way of thinking, they were posted the same day. :D

So how do I get out of this one peeps?

There's this girl, we'll call her Mary, and she Facebook'd me, asking how I am and what I'm doing for my birthday. Now, I have nothing against Mary, but I haven't invited her to what I am doing (which is watching movies late into the night then hopefully going to the park when it's dark and maybe see some stars) so I don't know how to tell her, 'Yeah, I'm good, and I have something arranged, just you're not invited.' Cause... That's kinda harsh...

So how do I tell her that?

In other news, I get to see Clare tonight for the first time in almost a year! Really happy about that, cause she (and Steff) are like two of my best friends.

So anyways. I'm gonna get changed, watch last 2/3 eps of Supernatural season 3 (which isn't all that OMFGEPICAMAZING but still OMFG EPIC!!!!!) then go to Aber and do some food shopping and munchie shopping! :D

Oh darling people of LJ, I need some help.

My computer needs a DVD drive that isn't region 1. It's region 1 cause my darling other half decided to switch more often than he could count, and as such made it stick to region 1, regardless of my use of DVD Genie (which makes it so then you can switch regions all the time). My question is, if I keep the old drive for region 1, and put in a new one for region 2, would the computer recognise the new one as a new one, thus it has it's five switches, or will it go, 'Ha, no wai!' and make that region 1 too?

I am getting thoroughly pissed off at having to watch my stuff in Mark's room. Hi, let me show all the ways I'm dependent on this room for fucking entertainment! I didn't want to fucking watch the eps of Doctor Who where they reset Donna, but when I mentioned I wanted to watch a Donna ep, Mark grabbed the mopuse, closed things that were running in the background then, even after I said I didn't want to watch that episode, he needled me to put it on! I've had enough of not getting to chose.

I wonder how these peeps would feel about RPS/RPF?

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 13:45:59 GMT

So the boat trip was ok. A two hour drive to get there (and I almost crashed into my dad - mum was distracting me!), seven hours on a boat WITH NO BATHROOM!! and two hours travelling back after testing out Waitrose's loos (very nice, posh shop - they had bagels with cream cheese and salmon that were cheaper than the all day breakfast sandwiches!). I fell asleep at 9:10ish, woke up at 10:20 then went back to sleep till 9am this morning! I was bushwacked!

So today, I'm still in my pjs, but I'm going over to mum's in a bit cause Mark is with his parents until 8:30 (I still don't like them and would rather not spend time with them for the forseeable future. I don't care how nice his mum is being, she and her husband still fucked things over and said that I didn't love Mark as much as he loved me if I didn't move to fucking Doncaster to be with a man who didn't have a job at the time... When I had a job here... I was being sensible and the fucking bastards threw it back in my face... Whatever, I don't like them.) and, even though I'm tres comfy here, I need some company.

Just had some Jaffa Cakes. Yummy! :D My net is still frozen toffee slow though. Like jumpy and shit. :(

Right to Oz mum and dad's house!

Writer's Block: Music for Thought

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:00:27 GMT

When you have to study or get work done, what music (if any) do you put on to help you concentrate?

View 506 Answers

Just normal work, it's anything I can lay my hands on, usually something with lyrics. When I'm writing, it's wordless music (so dance music or soundtracks and stuff like that). It's awesome cause the music influences the mood. :D

So the housewarming went well. Got towels. Twas cool.

Been working all day Monday and Friday for the past three weeks-month and basically dying because of it.

Getting my eyebrows shaped tomorrow. V excited. I can't pluck them as I'm allergic to pain that I cause myself... I should be fine with other people doing it! :D

Getting my highlights Thursday. Should be fun.

Saturday, I'm seeing family. Mark's coming with so it shouldn't be too dreadful.

Had a mock practical last week. Only four serious (two cause I couldn't reverse into a bay, one cause I had my foot on the clutch going round a corner and one cause there was a stupid fucking bitch stood in the middle of the road trying to cross looking fucking stupid making me get a fucking serious which would meant that I would fail if it was a real fucking test and if I see her I will really have to hold back the urge to punch her!).

Drove mum to Llangrannog last Thursday. On a sixty road, a little old fucking lady was doing fucking THRITY!!! Thirty miles an hour on a sixty mile per hour road! I almost rammed into the back of her cause she would almost literally stop to overtake PARKED cars! I wanted to punch the woman or key her car! This is still stressing me out!!!!

So... Sorry for the swearing. I hate idiots on the road. :(

Waiting for ljdq to update. It make I larff.

No, cause animals work on instinct. They don't think about the morals of doing something, they just do it. And to feel regret needs some sort of moral compass.

:: Bangs head against a very hard surface ::

For Thirteen Year Old Slapstick... Of Sexiness! I got:

this is so much worse than the other fan fics i read of yours. so far.

For a Mary-Sue infested fic called, Writing and Dancing I got:

PLESE keep writing it! i LOVE the plot so far!

I can't even look at it, I hate that fic so much. So. Many. Mary-Sues! And calling Draco Dray? What was I on? I mean, constantly calling him Dray. Because obviously he'd be ok with that?! Urgh. And she can't even spell please! Hate this sort of reviewer. :(

Edit: Ok, just read the old fic, Writing and Dancing, and uh... I can save parts of it. If I make it a major AU (like, before we find out that Harry needs to kill Voldie himself sort of AU... Like, anyone can kill him without that Horcrux bs)... But I'd need to nix the whole Ron/Hermione thing, and emo!Harry is a bit too emo... Hmm...

Gah, what am I thinking?

NCIS - Semper Fidelis and Aliyah

Wed, 20 May 2009 21:46:24 GMT

OH MY FREAKING GOD!

TONY KILLED MICHAEL! HOW FUCKING HAPPY AM I????

So anyways. Semper Fidelis? Uh... The whole, 'OMFG an agent died?!' and everyone but CIA playing? Didn't like. Didn't really like the ICE agent (Tim is meant to be mostly with Abby... Sometimes with Ziva... Depending on fic writer/my mood) or the whole plot up until we get Tony investigating further (yaay Tony!) and doing stuff. Then it got good!

I mean, ok, so we know Rachel has a thing for Tony/Ziva, but I'm so glad that he was willing to trust his co-worker to ask her, and not just take her to headquarters for questioning. But his reaction to Michael? Brill. And Michael was kinda goading him, then tried to kill him, so the whole shooting him or being stabbed was ok. Cause he does actually say that they should stop, but Michael went on... Does he actually tell Ziva, or anyone, that detail?

So anyways, Ziva breaks down the door in a move of super woman-ness, and points a gun to the alive person - Tony - then sees that Michael is dead. End ep. 3 out of 5, only cause the last ten minutes made up for the whole 32 minutes before it.

Aliyah? The way Ziva just gets all, 'Damn you Tony for killing him!' cause she was gonna get someone from Mossad to take him made me sad. But how she assumes bad stuff before reading his report is kinda harsh. I know she loves/d Michael, but there would have been good cause for Tony to be on the floor with a dead dude next to him, and not just cause Tony has a thing for Ziva and Michael didn't like it. Tony wouldn't kill a person if he didn't think he was gonna be killed by the guy. He seems to have been brought up right.

So yeah, my fave song on the NCIS soundtrack - Fear by Stop Making Friends - was used brilliantly. The intro was used as they carried Michael's case was lush, cause it's electro sounding and lush, and the chorus being used as the Israel flag was unfolded over his coffin was brilliant and made the bit before meeting Imhotep so cool. And you just felt so sorry for Ziva cause she looks so sad. :(

Then Imhotep is like, 'Oh hai thar!' and we get intros and then Tony is thrown to the pit up against Eli David, Ziva's daddy. And everyone, except Gibbs, seems to have forgotten that Tony can actually be a fucking brill agent, and he gets right under Eli's defences. So much so that he gets a hand around his neck (with Tony then looking at the camera as if to say, 'See? Told you.').

So fast forward to the fight between Ziva and Tony and I just want them to either brawl or bang. Seriously it was amazing. And Tony's realisation that she did love him and her saying, 'Now we'll never know,' was just sadness inducing. But the pressure her dad puts on her, 'Make this your Aliyah, stay here with me,' was harsh (Wiki being kinda lush, says that Aliyah is when Jewish people return to Israel... Like, immigrate... It means Ascend, which is all kinds of cool - I love languages!).

But to end with Tony missing her and Ziva being a beat up in a terrorist place? And getting her Star of David necklace being ripped off her? I had no words to describe how I was feeling. I want Tony and the team to save her even more now. And I hope they save her before her spirit is broken.

Interesting to see that family is so important to Ziva, but with Eli it comes second place (another picture is before it, as if to say, 'My public life is this and is important, family can come second.') And who were the two kids in the pic? I can figure one to obviously be Ziva, but the other two? Michael and Ziva's sister? Cause I'm pretty sure Ari was sent away with his mother...

All that crap happening to Ziva though? Not happy with it, but that episode was amazing! And I can't wait until Mark watches it so then I can squee and stuff. 5 out of 5, just for the fight between Ziva and Tony in Tel Aviv. Such a great ending to a season that went a bit flat and soggy in the middle (wtf was with Knockout and Deliverance? Seriously?!) but ended and started fantastically! :D

In other news, I have cold hands and I'm kinda hungry. Hmm...
