My own 'Bridget Jones' diary

Oh dear! Has it been 10 days since i last wrote? Shame on me! Abandoning my blog already

Well, I don’t remember everything I did. Mostly worked, I’d guess. Watched too much tv. Watched several Harry Potter movies. Uhm… played FreeCell and Hearts and Mahjong and every other crappy game on my computer while watching tv… At least it’s not as addictive as the FB games that I vowed to stay away from. Haven’t broken that resolution yet!!

Last Saturday I got a new phone! Samsung Galaxy S Plus. If you would have mentioned it to me before, I would have shrugged and thought ‘whatever’. But now that I’m using it, it’s pretty awesome! Too bad I can’t get on the internet yet though, because my little brother secured my wifi a bit too zealously. Hopefully he’ll reset the whole thing for me this weekend. Anyway, after purchasing the phone (for free, with a pretty good deal on the subscription, it’s actually less money for the first 6 months than I’d been paying up until now, and I’ve got the web-access added to it! Oh crap, i’m all over the place again. Can’t even finish my sentences! Anyway, after getting the new phone, I went to my best friend’s birthday. My two other best friends were there already, planning a weekend with the 4 of us! It’s pretty awesome, we’re gonna stay in a bungalow with a private tanning bed, sauna and JACUZZI!!! Isn’t that awesome? It’s just for a weekend, but it’ll be the first time we’ll be staying together for such a long time (except for the festival we went to when we were 18, but that’s a whole different story). It’s gonna be so much fun! Too bad we’ll have to wait 4,5 months

As for my writing … I can’t remember exactly when I’ve written, but I know that I’ve only written on my new One Direction fic, and it’s 22 pages now! Still don’t know where it’s headed, but we’ll see.

And the BMI … I’m not sure! A few days ago it was 29,85! So terrible! And yesterday I caught a very unflattering look of my own arse in the mirror. Accidentally. Looks like i’m bursting from my trousers! Well, it’s not that bad of course, but it scared me anyway. But today ( I have the day off, yay!) i started by having pancakes for breakfast. I was practically craving for them, so I gave in. So, I guess I wasn’t that scared off by the mirror, or i would have eaten something much healthier. Stupid me! Always great plans for my eating habits, and then I’m going the wrong way again in seconds! And I haven’t been to the gym in ages. I just really really really don’t wanna go! I’m just a lazy bum!

Well, on that note, I’m gonna stop writing here. Because I have to put my Christmas tree away ( I know, i’m very ashamed I haven’t done that earlier, like 2 weeks ago ), and tidy up and clean the whole house. Great stuff to do on a day off But i know I’ll be happy when I’ve finished.

GET YOUR LAZY ASS OFF THAT COUCH YOU STUPID BINT!

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a good time and didn’t make too many new year’s resolutions that you already broke

It’s been a while … it seems like when i start writing on my fics, i don’t write on here. But that’s only a good thing, isn’t it? Well, where did i leave off? Right, Boxing day. I wrote the long part on ‘The Closet’, and after that it was all up. All the ideas that i had for that fic, have been written down now. Now it’s just waiting for the new ideas to pop up. Don’t worry, it will happen!

I was in a writing flow though, so i also wrote a little on my sequel to “Mutatio Severus”. I realize i haven’t even put that in my finished/unfinished fics list. Stupid me! I’ve written a few pages on it though, I’m a bit in a sticky patch there.

And then something incredibly stupid happened. Well, it didn’t really happen so much as I let it happen. I started a new fic! Oh no! *groans miserably*

Those yummy, funny, sexy, but way-too-young guys of One Direction have been playing in my head for a while, and i couldn’t stand it anymore! So last week on tuesday evening i allowed myself to write about them. And Wednesday night I wrote a little more! thursday I was knackered, and Friday I got off work two hours early to go to my best friend. We went to a concert at Paradiso in Amsterdam. It was VanDikHout, the band that we’ve loved since we were 15 years old, our first concerts we went to. We thought they wouldn’t be that good anymore, because the last times we heard the singer, he was a bit off key. But this time he was great! It was so awesome! And the location was abso-fucking-lutely fabulous! We were on the first balcony, and instead of making you feel like you were far away from the podium, it made you feel closer! And for the first time in our lives we could actually see all of the stage! (Yeah, we’re both little midgets. Well, not really, but close enough).

Anyway, after the amazing concert I stayed over at her house, she lives a bit closer to Amsterdam than I do. I stayed all of Saturday too, and celebrated New Year’s eve with her, her husband and some of her friends. They’re kind of weirdos, so I wasn’t really looking forward to seeing them again, but it turned out to be all relaxed and fun anyway. So we went to bed both days really really late, and I only got home on Sunday late in the afternoon. I’d spent the early mornings lying in an unfamiliar bed thinking of my new fic, so I wrote down some of it, until I got sidetracked by watching videos of One Direction on youtube. Auditions, behind the scenes, bloopers and their video updates. They’re fucking funny, especially Louis! He can’t stop me from ogling Niall though, because yeah… he’s my secret crush. Very secret though! I admit in Real Life that I’m a fan of Nick Carter,and that I fancy Justin Timberlake and that I’m a huge fan of Harry Potter, but I haven’t told anybody yet how often I listen to One Direction. Because seriously … they’re way way way too young! Even though they’re all legal now, they weren’t when they did X-factor last year, and that’s all the videos and pictures I’m practically drooling over. Bit pathetic, don’t you think?

So *sssshhht* Secret crush! Don’t tell anybody!

Where was I? I’m all over the place Right, I’d written some pages on Sunday. I don’t remember what I did yesterday evening. I know I didn’t watch tv because I wanted to write … Oh yeah, I got stuck reading short stories online. * rolls eyes* But today I’m off work, and and I went right back to work on the fic! Result: 6,5 pages up until now. I hope to write some more this evening, but i’m not sure. The story’s on a total of 14 pages now. It’s a good start, but I don’t even know where it’s heading to. We’ll see!

So, that’s it. No, wait. I stepped on the Wii yesterday morning, for the first time in a while. 29,25! Damned, still over 29! I shouldn’t be surprised though, we snacked a lot over the weekend and I drank waaaaaaaaaaay too much on New Year’s Eve. Didn’t get hammered, but got very close. Guess that’s why we had so much fun

Other than the late night snacking on two special occasions, I haven’t broken my 1st December resolutions. Yet.

Keep calm and carry on writing!

Oh yeah! I rock! Big time!

Okay, enough with the self-applauding. But … I finally wrote again. For real! After my last (drunken) post where I promised to start writing, I only wrote barely one page before I – I don’t even remember why I stopped writing. I went to sleep, I think?

But “The Closet” has been gnawing on my brain for some time, and yesterday in church ( I know, i’m horrible!) another rush of inspiration hit me! Of course I spent all day with my family, it was Christmas after all. But today, Boxing day, I had the whole day to myself. And I’ve been writing all day long! The result:

10,5 pages!

Ten-and-a-half pages! I can’t believe it!  I’m done writing for the moment though, I finished the part that I had in my head. I think I’m gonna go to sleep early, and secretly hope for another rush of inspiration so that I can’t sleep

Night night!

Okay, so we just had a … I don’t even know what the word is! Christmas drink? Anyway, right after work we went to a bar with all colleagues (minus 2, but I never expected them to come anyway). Can you imagine it? After working for a week in the busiest week of the year, we go to a bar without having dinner first. And then I take one glass of wine. Oh yeah! Fun! Feels like drinking a whole bottle! Just got home, and I don’t think I’m gonna have dinner at all! Just loads of snacks and some more wine.

So … I’m gonna write now! Still have to figure out which song to write on, because I’m nice and buzzed, but I’m gonna write for sure!

Cheers!

Well … what to post? I haven’t written in a few days, even though I promised last Saturday that I would. Well, here I am! Last Sunday, I wrote on my Cedric/Harry fic. Yep, you’re reading it right. I wrote! Only 2,5 pages, but still. It were 2,5 important pages. I had an idea and now at least I know where the fic is headed. After that I started reading the Half Blood Prince, to get the story straight (no pun intended), and I’ve almost finished it. Can’t wait till i’m not over-worked anymore and relaxed enough to write on!

What else have I done? Worked! Working overtime, it’s terribly busy and one assistent is down with the flu. The typical December situation. I’ll live. I hope.

Tomorrow morning I have to get up really early, because a mechanic will come to fix my glass sliding doors. At 7.30AM!!! Nutter! I told him I’d have to get out of bed much earlier than I’m used to, but I think he thought it was funny. I didn’t intend to be funny! I guess I’ll just go to sleep early now, and see if my wake-up-light can work miracles.

Oh! Of course my BMI post: 28.99.  Gosh I hope I’ll stay under 29 now, but this evening I ate a lot. If I’m higher again tomorrow morning, I won’t dare to post the score. Someone please kick my ass and tell me to stop eating! Oh and I didn’t go to the gym. Again! My excuse? Yesterday I had to work late and this evenign there’s a rainstorm. Good enough? I did get to see Jackson Rathbone in an episode of Criminal Minds though! Me like! Although the split personality isn’t much of a turn on

Off to bed! Pip pip!

Oh bloody hell!

I have a fucking headache and it’s my own fault! Sorry for the language, but I could just kick myself! That would hurt even more, so I won’t do that of course. Let me start at the beginning. Early this afternoon one of my colleagues picked me up to go over to another colleague’s house for a drink. We would just spend a few hours chatting. So after the first 2 cups of tea/coffee we weren’t done chatting yet, so she brought out a bottle of white wine for me and a red one for the other one. Of course that’s about where I lost track of what happened (time-wise of course), but then suddenly her husband came home and we discovered it was 9.30PM. We hadn’t had dinner, and I have a sneaking suspicion that I finished the bottle of wine all by myself. Luckily I also got dropped off at home again, but then just now I realized that my stomach doesn’t agree to an afternoon of boozing without eating, and my head doesn’t either. As if I knew this would happen (seriously, I didn’t!) I bought bananas yesterday. Yay! I hardly ever eat bananas, but they’re supposed to beat off hangovers. Let’s hope it works! Because … this morning I had serious plans to write on my HP/Cedric story. I’m not sure if it will work with a headache though … bummer!

So right now I’m trying to decide whether I should watch HP 6 again, read book 6 or start writing anyway. ‘Cause I’m writing canon and I’m at the story behind book 6 now …. hmmmm. Watch the movie is the easy way out, but there’s the risk of falling asleep or not having inspiration afterwards anymore. Reading the book might take a looooong time … and writing right now might get the time-lines mixed up. Crap! My head hurts too much to be thinking!

I’ll give a decent update tomorrow!
