:paperbag: I know I know, I haven’t blogged in a while, but I was so wrapped up in stuff I’m doing at the moment…
I’m now taking care of 3 categories at TFL.org, I don’t think I mentioned that, did I? The 3rd category being Places. I really need to update that again, too. But we just added subcategories, so that’s a kind of excuse. :yes:
I also made some more fanlistings, I’m now getting very close to 50. Right now I have 47, with one approved on upcoming and 3 more that haven’t been approved yet. Just have to be patient. 🙂
So, about the internship as a webproducer, I had an interview for that on Wednesday. Personally I think it went pretty well, but I don’t know the result yet. They had some more people coming in and the guy who interviewed me said they’d get back to me either by this Friday (yesterday) or Friday next week. Since I didn’t hear from them yesterday, I guess I’ll have to be patient and wait till next Friday. Please keep crossing your fingers for me. Even if it isn’t a paid internship I would really, really love to do it. Obviously it would also help for future applications.
So, what else can I tell? Last night I was at a class reunion, which was kinda fun, buit sadly it wasn’t really many people. 15-20 I think. We’ve had a reunion every year now, so there’s not really anything new you hear from people. Though now the first people are getting married. :shocked: I’m very happy for them (esp two of my best friends who are getting married on Friday!! Yay!:grin: ), but somehow it’s also a bit frustrating. They already found the person they want to spend the rest of their life with, and I’m still sitting here all alone. :bigcry:
I guess this is the cue for me to post the Weekly Wrapup:
1. What is the earliest crush you can remember having? Who was it? How old were you? And what did you do about it?
Mmmmh, I was 11 or 12 I think and it was the son of my mom’s friend. He was way older than me, and never did anything about it. That would’ve been too embarrassing.

2. What celebrity did you obsess over as a teenager? How did your tastes change, if at all, during your teenage years?
Oy, there were several. For example I was soooo in love with David Hasselhoff when I was 12. I swore that I’d still love him when I’m 90. LOL, guess what? I can’t stand him anymore. :rolleyes:

3. What kind of crushes (i.e., real people vs celebrities) do you have now? Are they fleeting or long-lasting? How?
Well, I think everyone knows about my celebrity crush, right? Yes, of course Malcolm Gets! What’d YOU think? 😉 And this is definitely not a fleeting crush! I’m afraid it’s here to stay for a while. His fault really, why does he have to be so damn sweet and gorgeous? :hearts: Yes, I DO realize he’s gay, so what? Should that stop me from fantasizing? Why?

4. What would you do now if you were face to face with your #1 crush from childhood or teenage years?
Ummm, I don’t think that would be a big deal, it’s been a while since I’ve last seen him, but still, I’d just act normal around him.

5. Who is your #1 crush today? Why?
Besides Malcolm? 😉
Nah, ok, I can’t say there is a real #1 crush for me right now. There is this guy who’s kinda cute, but that’s not for here. If you’re reading my LJ you might know who I mean. 🙂

I really couldn’t wait….and so I ordered the second QAF season on DVD *slaps self*. But then again, I really love DVDSoon, DVDs are usually cheaper there, and right now they have free shipping, AND they declare the packages as gifts worth 12 CAD, so they go through customs without problems. Wooo. 😀

Oooh, and another thing, thanks to Eliza I found a place where they are looking for trainees for a web-producer position for at least 6 months. I filled out an online application for that, so please cross your fingers for me!!

How could they have the 1st season of QAF end like that??? I bawled my eyes out! :bigcry:
I wanna have season 2!!! *whines*

I would’ve loved to post a This-Or-That Tuesday, so this post wouldn’t be completely pointless, but well…they’re on hiatus. 🙁

Long time no update again…but well, I do have an excuse. Last week Eliza was visiting me and I was at the skijumping competition this weekend.

It was great to have Eliza here! We had a lot of fun, though it was really awful to go outside since it was so hot, and still is for that matter. I hope this heatwave will be over soon, I’m sick of sitting in my room all day long. The other place I would be able to go to is our freezer. 😉
On Tuesday we went to the Corso Movie Theater in Vaihingen (Stuttgart). That’s a movie theater that only plays movies in the original version. I really have to go there more often. There are some American’s stationed close by, could help with my plans of finding an American guy. :smug: Anyway, we saw “Legally Blonde 2” and let me tell you, the movie is just hilarious!! Maybe not as good as the first one, but that’s usually the case for sequels, eh?
While Eliza was there I also got the confirmation that my application for the Greencard lottery arrived. Around November I’ll get the certificate from the USA which confirms that they have received it. It’ll take till April till we found out whether we were lucky or not (Eliza applied too). If I know my luck, I won’t win, but yeah, I really have to start thinking positive. 🙂
Now to my weekend…woah I’m so glad I actually survived that! It was unbearingly hot. Standing in the sun all day long really wasn’t very fun. But seeing Hanni jump kinda made up for that. Mmmmmh, he looked very good, as usual *drools* But….since it was so hot the jumpers got out of their suits after jumping, and woah, Hanni has some very very skinny arms. Almost scary. Never really noticed that before. I mean, yeah, obviously he’s skinny, being a ski-jumper, but like that?? I don’t know…the others weren’t that bad.
Martin didn’t jump on Saturday in the team competition, and we were pretty upset about that. 🙁 But we still saw him, so that was ok. Also looking very good as usual. 🙂
We were standing right next to the press area, so we had a good view of the guys, when they walked away. I only had a small disposable camera with me but I hope the pictures turned out good. Though we will get some very good ones too. There was this one photographer from Uvex (you know, the guys who make the goggles and stuff) and she wrote my friend’s and my address and promised to send us some pictures of our favorite teams (being the German and the Finnish team). I realy can’t believe it. So nice!! Professional pics….for free! I guess I can believe in the good in humans again. :yes:
Hah, a funny thing that happened at a restaurant Saturday night…well, maybe not THAT funny, but my friend and me had a hard time not laughing out loud. My friend ordered Spaghetti and I ordered a Pizza. While my friend was already eating I still had to wait. And my Pizza wasn’t there yet when my friend was finished eating. That seemed really weird. And the folks at the table next to us seemed to have a similar problem. 3 were almost finished eating and the 4th one was still waiting for her food. Well, we both complained about it and they promised the food would be there right away. 2 minutes later they came back and asked that lady what she ordered. :shocked: Well, she told them and soon later she finally got it, as I got my Pizza. Well, apparently they didn’t bring that lady what she really ordered, so he told the owner who came to check if everything was alright. And do you know what he said? He staired at her and asked “So what do you want me to do now? Do you want me to hang myself??” How incredibly rude! But really, it was so funny, I wish the woman had said yes…
We were still laughing about that when we went back to our hotel! :laugh:

One more thing…
….Thank you so much Dennis for copying the QAF episodes for me!!!:kiss: Oh I sooooo love that show!! Can’t stop watching it. I started watching on Friday evening, had to take a break on Saturday and most of Sunday, but until now I already watched 16 of the 22 episodes! :shocked: It’s very very addictive! Now I just wish I could get my hands on the second season too. *sighs* Oh well, I guess I’ll have to be patient. :blank:

Ok, I think that’s it for today. 😀

ETA: Woah I think I got a little smiley-crazy there…sorry about that…

So, I decided to get rid of the Affiliates part on my page. I didn’t have many affiliates anyway, and it just…I don’t know, made no sense at all. I’ll keep the Loved ones though, obviously. But usually I don’t follow requests, I just put people on there when I like their pages and know them one way or another. So unless we know each other, there’s no need to bother asking, sorry. You might have noticed that there are two new people on there: Amy and Lisa. I know them both from the wonderful CodeGrrl Forums.
It is really amazing how many new friends I made ever since I got into this whole fanlisting madness. I’m so glad I discovered that. It’s really addicitive I tell you. I always tell myself, ok this will be the last fanlisitng for a while and a few minutes later I find myself applying for another one. I just can’t stop. Anyone know a cure?
So, I was supposed to pick up Eliza tomorrow, but some things came up, so we had to put it off till monday. Still very much looking forward to seeing her again, though. 🙂

A day late, but whatever…the friday five

1. What time do you wake up on weekday mornings? At around 8:30 usually. Yeah, no job…
2. Do you sleep in on the weekends? How late? Not really. I get up at the same time as during the week
3. Aside from waking up, what is the first thing you do in the morning? I turn on my computer and then go to the bathroom. When I’m back my computer is already waiting for me to check my mails.
4. How long does it take to get ready for your day? Not really that long. Don’t know exactly.
5. When possible, what is your favorite place to go for breakfast? Our kitchen! 🙂
