73 Questions... Just Like Blake Lively

Gossip girl is over (and we, I mean I am still mourning the loss!), so this means Blake Lively (if you've been living under the rock since 2007, that's the chick that played the legendary Serena van der Woodsen) has a lot more free time on her hands... I guess she's not fond of making a musical carrier, like so many young Hollywood actresses do these days. If you're not a triple threat you're nothing in Hollywood (wait, isn't this a Broadway 'thing'?). Anyhow, she just launched her new lifestyle page called PRESERVE.us and supposedly (according to bunch of internet sites I accidentally saw) it's a Goop-like site (apparently a lifestyle page brought to you by Gwyneth Palthrow), just darker. Translation: it has a black background and Goop has white. Big difference, right?

So, in order to promote her newly launched page, she did a video, where a person behind camera asks her 73 quick questions. I liked the questions, so I thought, why not do them as well.

Good idea, but I'm camera-shy, so I'm gonna do them here... Just so you can get to know me better.

HERE THEY COME...

How are you feeling these days?

Honestly, lazy and excited. It's the holidays, so I don't feel like doing anything productive, but I have some great ideas on how to spice things up a bit...

****

It's over! It took me close to two hours and a fussy toddler that can't sleep to finish this piece.

Now, I'm going to bed, because I'm slowly dying from sleep deprivation that I subject myself to. Better start looking out for myself better. Maybe Preserve.us will help me with that...

And Summer Has Officially Began!!!

Can you believe it? The final's month is FINALLY over and right now I'm having my hard earned holidays! Well, you can hardly call it holidays, since I'm constantly bombarded with demands from my relatives like: Do this... Make sure this is done... Take care of this...

And it never stops! They want me to pick up kids from daycare, to entertain them while they are having a break - which seems like all the time! Sure I like kids, but right now, I can't even look at a picture of one without remembering about how loud and dirty and demanding they are. If someone asked me if I want to have kids, right now, I'd say no. It's not that I'm not capable of taking care of them, I just don't fell like all the extra work that comes with them. Sure if they come I'll be grateful and will love them with all my heart, but I'm not planning on having one for the next ten years... Besides, I'm still young, there's absolutely no need to hurry.

About my finals, so far I know I passed 7 out of 13 exams, I'm still waiting the results on one, and have a total of five to do in the fall. So yeah, these holidays I'll definitely need to study if I want to pass this year. And I do, I have no intention of going through this year all over again! So, wish me luck, and pray that I'll have enough strength and motivation to study, so I'll pass those stupid exams!

Now to more happy news. I decided to do something, besides watch TV shows and work this summer. Not that I already got a job, but I'll probably do some waitressing in one of the nearby caffes. Or something like that. But that's not relevant. What matters is I'll probably open an Etsy shop and start selling handmade traditional Idrian lace. I've learned how to make a lace in seventh grade in the past few years I've seriously considered the option of making lace jewellery and accessories. Maybe one day I'll be good enough to make lace shoes, like the one's Ben Affleck wore on one of the premiers (I think in Venice... Holy guacamoly, that rhymes!)

Let me know, what do you think of my idea (the one of opening an Etsy shop). I really don't want to go through all the hard work the process of making a lace requires for nothing. Because here's an example: To make that small patch of lace you see on these shoes I'd need about five to eight hours to make. Depends on how good my mood is at the moment.

Anyhow (how much I loooove, this word!), I have to get back to my vacation a.k.a. work camp my relatives created. 

God, I missed this. I promise I'll do my best and start writing again (and do all my usual posts about TV, movies and books. Three of my favourite things - if you forget about shopping and food)

Wish Me Luck...

...Because I'm gonna need it!
For me it's this time of the year again. The finals month. Yep, that's right, the college I go to has a finals MONTH! Talk about going overboard =)
Anyhow, I'm not really happy with the way the college I go to teach and the way it forces us to study. Way too much theory and the fact I can only study psychology 24/7 makes me wanna puke. Which I probably will after all the coffee I consumed to make up for the sleep deprivation studying is causing. And for the next month don't you dare to say that studying isn't killing you. Because in my world it goes like this: studying is for exams, exams cause stress and stress can kill you or at least cause some pretty disturbing things (like insomnia, it can lower the ability of your immune system which than makes you more vulnerable to all the germs flowing around, and I on and on...)

And today my one month nightmare starts with an exam on Sociological Psychology. Which I learnt from flashcards. And yes, it was possible, because the professor has this weird thing going on in this exams. It's a Yes or No type of thing. He gives a statement and it's either wrong or it's right. All nice all well but the trick is that if your answer is wrong you get minus one point (if it's correct you get 1 point and if you don't answer at all you don't get a point). So, if you're one unlucky SOB, then you can get a final result of minus 40 points. Fun, ha?

P.S.
For closure, I think I did horribly on the exam, my mind went blank and I was barley able to figure out one right answer (that I'm 100% sure it's correct). So yey, for now my score is only -39 points ;)

The Awkward Obsession

Before you get all worried and run away from reading this blog, I don't have an awkward obsession, I have an Awkward obsession. Still don't get it?
I became obsessed with this TV series called Awkward. I don't know how it happened, or why, I just know I just spend the last four hours binge watching it. I already went through the last and the first two seasons. So, high five for me, I still know how to spend the day doing absolutely nothing productive! God, my life sucks.

But so does Jenna's, the main character in the Awkward series. Except I'm a tad older than she is and my problems doesn't involve guys. At all. Because I don't have a boyfriend or a crush I can do something about. I'm single and it looks like it's going to stay this way for a while. I kind of don't mind, having a boyfriend is hard work and right now, I'm kind of happy I'm single. And this is the end of my pity-party&pep-talk-for-my-better-self-esteem-in-one. For now.
Anyhow, she has tons of problems, and so do I. Even though I am older than her, I can still relate and this is why I got sucked in (and created another problem!) and can stop thinking about the series. I mean seriously it's addicting. And if it will continue this way, I might actually need to go to rehab. Because right now, all my favorite series had a season finale and I'm suffering from a serious withdraw problems. (Fine, I'm having one more minute of this pity party, bu then I'm over!)
Hurahay, I got over myself and party over my obsession with Awkward. Maybe I'll just watch one more episode, or two... Maybe one more season?

Hope you enjoyed the pictures ;) I'm not guaranteeing you that the guys on the pictures are hockey players, but they are HOT!!!

"Man, that girl is CRAZY!!!" - Confessions of Gossip Girl Addict, part 3

Besides the fact, that I (almost) never keep a promise I make on the internet (so yes, this doesn't really counts as a confession, since, let's face it, it's really clear to everyone who has ever read anything on my blog!) there's a few things I thought should make the cut for the part three of Confessions of Gossip Girl Addict thingy I have going on here.

First of all, I didn't really plan on this to go on so long, but this has became my safety net for not going completely bananas for not telling everyone about the latest crazy thing that I did.

Second, I think it's safe to say, I'm a pretty crazy person. I do prefer the term special though, so please, if you're planning on judging me and saying: "Man, that girl is crazy!" please consider replacing the c-word with s-word, and yes I mean SPECIAL!

About my confessions, so you know these people that have way to much on their hands? And they don't know what to do with it, so they go and do something? Anything really? I'm not one of those people. When I'm bored and don't know what to do, I just find somebody, anybody really and start complaining. About anything and everything. Somehow, when everything else fails, complaining never, ever get's old. I absolutely LOVE IT!!!

One down, two more to go. The second one is no real surprise, but I kind of figured out my life is so pathetic, that I spend so much time in front of TV I kind of already seen all the good TV shows international television has to offer. So when I saw some news about Ariana Grande I realized, she was/is on a TV show. So I said to myself: "What the heck Lucy, why not go and check out that Victorious show she was on." And I did. And absolutely fell for it. I know, my life must be so pathetic, but you must admit it, didn't you ever want to go to a high school like that? I'd love to go to a high school like that. This way of thinking resulted in me seeing the entire four seasons in two days... Well, what can I say? I'm nothing if not?!?! SPECIAL!

And the last, but not the least, Wattpad. You might know what it is, but for those who don't, it's a online community of writers and readers. You can publish a book and people can read it for free, they can comment, vote and stuff like that. It also has an app, that got me into trouble. The thing is, I just joined Wattpad like a week ago, and since then I hadn't had a decent night sleep yet. Because I always end up reading these amazing books in the evening and they have me sucked in so much that I can't stop reading until the end of the book. And after that I have to play Candy Crush, because two and a half hours has passed and my lifes are full again. Speaking of which, I'm gonna go now, and get to this next level even if it's the last thing I do before I (finally) go to sleep. Because where I am right now, it's 1.30 in the morning. Oh, the price of becoming obsessed with Wattpad....

Forever yours, special and even a slightly, tiny, little bit (OK a lot) crazy,

Lucy Jane

Ladies and Gentleman, She is BACK!!!

It's been almost two months to the day since I posed something. I could lie and say, I've been busy but this wasn't the case. In fact I'm kind of in middle of a crisis. I have no idea what I want (other than not live in this amazing house I found in the Hamptons. It only costs 5 million dollars - which is like three and a half million euros. It has eight rooms, nine bathrooms, a view to the beach, a private beach with a shed and private pier. To top that off it also has a heated pool and a legally built guest house with two more bedrooms and bathrooms, a pole room and what looks like a home fitness. Too bad it doesn't has a tennis court. No wonder it only costs 5, not 45 millions dollars ;) ) or what I'm doing with my life. So I kind of put my life on hold and (probably out of laziness and mild case of depression) stopped writing all together.
But a week ago, after going trough all the bookmarks on my Suzy (I finally decided on the name for my laptop. And when I get a car I'll name her Betty. Then I'll have Petunia - my tablet, Suzy and Betty. This is what you get for being afraid of dogs, allergic to cats and a growing dislike for pets of any kind.) and I found an Avon Impulse page. Out on a whim I decided to write a series of epic romance novels. So far I've already have the in-detail plot for the first and second book, and a rough plot for the fifth one. Also I just finished first and started on the second chapter of the second book today. Basically, the books will be about five friends, that met in college, bonded over their love of wine and books. Soon they create a book club appropriately called Wine Club. Each girl will get their own book. This is all I'm gonna say for now, but I'm having a lot of fun writing and creating the girls stories. Hopefully, I will finish the fourth chapter by the end of the week and will be sending the manuscript to the Avon Impulse people. Fingers crossed they'll like it. I will keep you posted on the matter.

So this kind of get me the needed motivation to start blogging again, hopefully this time, I won't give up so quickly.
Another thing happened in the past two months, that's worth talking about. The ice skating season is over and I even accidentally saw a real hockey game! The thing is, I was ice skating as a part of a class I choose to take this year (It was called something like: Medicine and preventive in sport) and I had an exam last week. At seven thirty p.m. on Saturday. If I was a regular twitter user, this is how I would capture this event:

#ThatAwkwardMoment when you're having a ice skating exam in front of 40 soon-to-be professional hockey players. At least I didn't fall. This time.

Not exactly what I had to do, but I just love this gif =)

Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but I have confirmed that they were watching me and I felt worse than when I had to preform in front of two hundred people. Seriously, this is this one humiliating moment of my life I wish would happen. That and this one time I was so drunk I kind of screamed to a very hot guy, I know and his friends that I also know, he's really hot. No problem there though, since he doesn't know me and was kind of hammered and probably doesn't even remember. At least I had a good music as a background. My friend got Justin Bieber's If I was Your Boyfriend. Not that I have anything against him, I don't even know the guy, it's just his music is so catchy. It was stuck in my head for the entire evening: If I was your boyfriend I'd never let you go... The good thing is, I did get a 10 (that's like an A+) for my ice skating knowledge. Hooray for me!!!

A Turn To The Crazy

There's a lot of talk about this "new" movie called That Awkward Moment. And I know that because last week I was playing with Google Chrome settings and it offered me to set up an alert for something. The precious and really needed automatic Google suggestions (because let's face it, we're part of the lazy generation, too lazy to type our information into required fields. And why would we, when we have Google auto-fill option?) suggested I set my name as an trigger for the alert, but let's face it, except for what I write about myself, no one will use my full name. It's not like I'm the president or a hot shot movie star or an athlete. And trust me when I say it's a gift you can't hear me sing while reading this. You'd probably run screaming from the computer and never ever turn it back on (BTW, I'm exaggerating to make a point. I'm not that bad, I was in a quire for about five years. But I never really got any important solos if I even got any (obviously my memory isn't what it used to be). So instead of my name I decided to make an alert for a phrase "that awkward moment". I can't wait to see the movie (I've been busy) and it was the first thing that popped into my mind and I knew it would get quite some hits. And I was right.
To get you to the speed in case if you haven't heard of the movie yet, it's about three guys who plan on being single together, but end up in a relationship with what trailer shows as a potential "the one". And in this relationship they each get to that awkward moment.
According to the movie each relationship get to that point once, personally I have no idea, because I've never been in a relationship (more accurately I haven't been in a relationship since I was eleven, which is the same as never).

The alert thing works perfectly. You get an email notice every time someone writes about the required frase on the internet (or once a day/week or something like that). What meant to be an experiment to see how this alert thing works turned out to be quite amusing, but in a strange way.
Maybe you remember, maybe you don't but one of my celebrity crushes is Zac Efron who stars in this movie. I'm not a crazy obsessed fan or something, but I do read all kinds of gossip sites so I must confess I know (probably) more than I should about him (and other celebrities). But with this movie the interviews took turn for the strange&crazy.
According to the internet Zac Efron doesn't have any particular turn offs when falling for the girl. But he does say he hates this movie Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. And that he wouldn't watch the movie even in exchange for 10min of the best sex ever. So ladies if you want to subtly tell Zac Efron you want to break up, just try and make him watch The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Maybe it's just me, or it's just that I'm a female, but I liked that movie. Not to mention that Blake Lively plays in it. I watched far worse movies just so I could see a hot dude that plays in it (like Magic Mike. The story isn't something I'd call good, but the fact Channing Tatum and Matt Bomer strip in it was good enough for me. Adding Alex Pettyfer to the mix was like putting a cherry on the top). And what about Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2? Would he watch that movie? (I just came up with another not so good movie. High School Musical. One, two and three. No questions there of why it was so popular. I mean it had hot guy, cute girl, a relate-able story and catchy songs. What more is there to a good movie?)
I also came across with how Zac Efron looks like when he is in a awkward situation. And yes, he's still super hot ;) The thing I'm talking about are two interviews he did together with his co-stars Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller First was this hilarious game they played in a Cosmo interview, where they had to guess whether the word names a cocktail or a sex position. The second and even more hilarious was the interview they made with Conan this funny talk show host. I re-watch it every time I feel down and/or depressed.
So this is the point I'm trying to make. At one point in the past week I went from a "special" type of person to the crazy with a click of a mouse. I got obsessed with watching celebrities trying to prove they're a normal human beings, which often result in them humiliating themselves. Especially if Conan gets involved.
Have fun people and be yourself (or in my case-crazy).

It's All About: Which Movie Character Are You

I don't know if you remember, but a few years ago (I think it was around 2009) there was this really popular thing you could do on Facebook. You could make and solve all sorts of quizzes. And when I saw a post made by one of my friends, I got this weird déjà-vu feeling, like it was 2009 all over again. Partly out of curiosity, partly because I love quizzes of any type, I clicked on the link and got to a site where you solved a quiz and they would tell you which character from certain movie or TV series you are. There was a Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Mean Girls and few more.

I study psychology and on one of the first classes I was told those quizzes are bulls**t. I mean the quiz you take in Cosmo which is telling you're into guy with brown hair or something equally weird to predict is about as accurate as me telling you your faith from palm reading (I have absolutely no psychic powers, so I would probably just say you'll meet a men. Or maybe a woman, it's harder this days then it was hundred years ago, when you couldn't miss what a woman wanted to hear by telling her she'll meet a men. I'd be so bad at being a psychic I probably wouldn't be able to get the same person into my psychic office for a séance more than once. Or get them to recommend me to their friends.). But I still love to take them and then make fun of them. I mean I took the Mean Girls quiz and was informed I'm Regina, the main bitch in the movie. Which is kind of cool, since she is hilarious and I did like her character in a movie. But I'm a nice person, I was never a real queen bee in High School and I most definitely wouldn't cheat on that Aaron guy. He was way hotter than the other one.

Anyhow, this wasn't the only surprise that quizzes had in store for me today. When I took the Which Hunger Games Character Are You? I got Peeta. I mean seriously? Peeta? Not my favorite character and I can't find one thing we have in common. I mean the only good thing about him is he's physically strong. Which I'm not. I have problems with carrying anything that weights more than 3kg for more than 30 seconds. But I did get a feeling I'm a lot smarter than him. I mean how blind do you have to be to not realize Katniss is pulling an act just so she could get some food? Writing all that down sounds even more weird that it did in my head. Hope you won't misunderstood me, I liked the movie, but when a movie with a title Hunger Games doesn't have a character that looks at least a little bit hungry. However I do understand why was Jenifer Lawrence against losing weight and looking real hungry. She understands that Katniss will become a role model for a lot of young girls who are unable to understand, that she looks so skinny because she has nothing to eat. Oh, and  all the respect to Josh Hutchersen, because he somehow managed to make his character likeable. I read the books and Peeta looks like a real pussy. He never really does anything. I mean he gives Katniss a burned old bread. But not in a nice way, he throws it to her, like it's trash. In a book/movie, where hunger is the main issue they seem to be real careless about food.

But the biggest surprise of the day was which character I am in Harry Potter. You'll never guess, probably because you'll never get the idea that this character is even an option. Before I tell you the shocking news, let me just say I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter and when I was reading the books and watched the movies I always imagined myself as Ginny. Remember, this was before Ginny and Harry were an item. Way before. I fell in love with that character in the first book, even though she was barely mentioned. And when I read the second one, the one where her role is much more significant I was determent I want to be her. If I'd have a chance to audition for a part in a movie I'd want to be her. The only problem is I'm not really a ginger, but hair color can fix that. Well, if the hair were the only important thing to get a role, I'd probably get Hermione, since they were so curly my mother had to brush them for more than an hour just to get me look like a normal person, not someone who just woke up. They are straight now, thanks to this wonderful thing called straightening iron and huge amounts of conditioner.

 Oh, and what character do you think I got. Well if you figured it out without peeking at the photo, than congratulations are in order. According to this quiz I'm The One Who Must Not Be Named (a.k.a. Tom Riddle a.k.a. Lord Voldemort). Told you, you wouldn't think of that one! Well it's probably my fault I got this, since I clicked on Evil when there was a choice between Good and Evil. 

But evil is what makes the story so compelling, isn't it?

Secret Confessions Of Gossip Girl Addict_part 2

It's secret confessions time! Well, it's Monday and so far I had a horrible day. I had a statistic's exam, and let me tell you, it was hard! I mean I'm not the only one in our class that's complaining, frankly I hadn't heard a person say: "Oh, this test was so easy, I had no problem finishing it!" or "It was so easy, I'm gonna get an A!". The talk was more like: "Well, at least now I now what to expect in June."
But enough about this stupid college, or maybe not. This actually could be one of my confessions. I hate studying psychology. At least the way I have to study it now. I mean the whole programme is designed in a way that expect all the students to become college professors or a researcher. I have no intention of being either of those things. I mean how come US colleges can have a programme where you can take both action and biology without any complications? Is this really something only my country isn't capable of doing? I have no idea how I'm gonna finish first year, let alone another four. But I usually finish what I started (and if it's school related, I finish it good enough to get what I want, like getting into college), so no fear about that. Yet.

My second confession is I am a stress eater. To let go of this horrible statistic exam, I went to the store and bought so much candy, I am super sore right now, from getting them from the store to home (it's only a five minute walk). I think you can imagine how much I bought. I came home about half an hour ago and I already ate one tenth of the things I bought.So, please forgive me if I wrote (or will write) something weird, but I think I'm sugar high. Maybe this is the right moment to tell and confess that I'm a junk food junky, because not only I eat a lot of candy, I can also eat obscene amounts of chips and other salty snacks. To tell the truth, the only unhealthy food, I'm capable of saying no to are juices, sodas and other sweetened drinks. I don't even sweeten my coffee or tea. Thank you mom, for washing my brains, so at least I don't drink sweetened drinks.
And I hate Coca Cola. And when I watch movies and everyone is drinking one, I'm like, can I please get a glass of water. Not to mention how hard it's for me to order in McDonald's. Did you know, I never got a bottle of water instead of a glass of Coca Cola? I mean I always have to pay extra if I want one. No wonder there are so many overweighted people on Earth.
And also I could live in a book store and I started kind of loving this new series I wrote about in one of my TV Series Worth Watching In 2014 series. I'm talking about True Detective. I watched last night I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.
Sweet day,

How (Not) To Party

Over the past few years a lot of kind of strange things has happened to me when I went out clubbing. Some of them were funny, some not so much. The worst part is my relatives know about them and they make fun of me every time I say I'm going out (maybe that's the reason I don't go out as much as I could).
So the thing is where I'm from most of the clubs have over 16 policy. This means you need an I.D. that proves you're 16 or older to get into a club. I don't know about the kids from your town, but in my town that means that the average age of people in a club would be about 14. And if the club has over 18 policy, then the average age is 16. You can imagine you could feel a little out of place if you go to a place like that.
Anyhow there are two stories I want to tell you about how my first and second (well technically it was second and third, but the first time I didn't drink a thing and I was back at home by midnight. Not much of a party, don't you think?) time I went clubbing in my life went.
The thing is I'm not really into all the "Lets get drunk and dance and scream to a lousy, super loud music I don't really listen to" type of partying. To me a good party is more like a social gathering where you drink cocktails (not a mix of the cheapest version of vodka and orange juice available in local store that sells to the under-aged) and gossip with friends without a chance of losing my voice for the next week.
So the first time my friends convinced me I just have to go clubbing was for a schoolmates birthday party (she was 18 years old. Where I'm from that means you're finally aloud to drink). So she and a friend of hers hired this (kind of small) place on the other side of the town. I had no idea what the rules of when to show up to a party were. I mean the invitation said from eight pm till five and I had to (very discreetly of course) ask a friend that went to loads of parties before, when was the right time to show up. So you don't look lame for coming too early or disrespectful for coming too late. Apparently in this case it was between nine and ten (I later learned that if you're not going to a private party, you'll be alone in a club if you show up before one in the morning. Lesson learned).

A capture of some of my favourite cocktails: Long Island Ice Tea and some green thing the waiter recommended. The yellow drink in the middle is lemonade. And for the record, there were three of us. 

So I dressed up and made myself look real good (I'm still not sure why, since I knew there'd only be people I already knew and went to school with, Which meant they saw me when I was sick, And let me tell you, I look horrible when I'm sick. Imagine normal people look like vampires from The Vampire Diaries or Twilight. In comparison to that I looked like a vampire from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. They saw me when I looked that kind of horrible.). When I came it was just like I imagined. Loud music and people drinking and smoking outside the club. I didn't really like it but at the time I was an OK friend with the birthday girl and didn't want to ruin her big day. I knew she was worried, because a lot of people cancelled on her the last minute and I had no intention of telling her the truth. Just when I got into the party mode people started throwing up. Which happens if you drink more than half of bottle of vodka. And then some tequila to wash that down. The thing is, one of my former friends (we kind of lost contact after high school, not that I tried to stay in touch) got so drunk she didn't know what is going on around her. She threw up every five minutes even when there was nothing to throw up any more. And this is when my maternal instincts decided to kick out. I was with her for more than an hour, outside holding her hair while she threw up. Around two we decided it would be the best if we send her home. There was just one small problem, she lived on the other side of the city and she was in no condition to come from the taxi to her place without passing out in some ditch beside the road. I couldn't left her in this condition, but I only had enough money for the taxi to drive us to her place (I live in between the place where the party was held and her apartment), not to get back home. So I had to call my parents at two o'clock in the morning to let them know a friend is so drunk I have to get her home (thinking back it would be easier to just ask my mom to drive us to her place and then go home). My mom is a doctor and her first reaction was:"Do you need me to come and take a look at her, she might need to get her stomach cleaned." I knew she was OK, so I just told her to pick me up in an hour at her place.The next day I had to listen to my entire family (we celebrated my cousin's birthday) making fun of me because I took care of my super drunk friend. So much for being proud of me for caring. Next time I'll just leave the drunk person behind. Maybe they'll like passing out in some ditch or under the bridge.
The teasing about how I party might not be so bad, if the next time I went out I wouldn't end up in a hospital. Yes, that's right, in a hospital. And what a coincidence, the next day we celebrated my grandfathers birthday with my big loud family. But I should probably start at the beginning. Two more of my schoolmates had a birthday and decided to have a party. I said I'd go, but when it was time to get ready, I didn't feel like it (again!). But a promise is a promise and at ten (I learned my lesson about when to show up) I arrived at the club. This time I had to pay to get in, but the drinks were free. Never mind that they were gone before midnight. I decided that this time, I'd have fun and wouldn't let some drunk friend to ruin everything. Unfortunately for me, this time, it was me that got in trouble. Some time after midnight when people started to get seriously drunk and the throw up feast begun, the bathroom became flooded, because some drunk idiot forgot to turn off the water. I was wearing high heels and I felt a bit tipsy from all the alcohol I consumed. Around two o'clock I overcome my completely rational disgust that kept me from going to the bathroom and went in. When I tried to turn and leave the stall, I slipped and fell with such force, my elastic bracelet with fake pearls broke, and I cut my lip pretty bad. There was blood all over the place. But after I cleaned it up it looked more like a minor bruise. So I decided it was nothing and continue to party (at that time all my close and sober friends already left, so they couldn't convince me it would be a good thing to go home ad get my lip fixed). After an hour when almost everybody left, my schoolmate, who was claiming he's totally sober (he wasn't) decided to leave and since he was going the same direction as I was, we left together (that's the other guy who walked me home, the one I wrote about in How To Meet Guys post). When I came home I woke my mother up, because I'm unable to walk quietly. When she saw my lip, she got super upset and we just had to go to the emergency room. I ended up having three stitches. But not before the good (and slightly overdosed on caffeine) doctor declared I'm sober enough to undergo the stitching. I have some great pictures from the next day, with my family and the cake and my three stitches and a lip that looked like I got into a fist fight (I also had this big violet circles around my eyes, the one you get from not sleeping enough).
I must say, the next time I went out, I didn't told my parents I wouldn't be home until the next day, I just told them I'm going to the party. When I went to this concert I got super drunk and talked to everybody there, introducing myself and telling them how much I love them. I still have no idea who most of those people were. And if they are reading this, please note that I'm sorry, it wasn't on purpose.
So trust me when I say there's probably no one else on this world who'd managed to get in so much trouble the first two times they went out to party (and almost every other time I go out). No matter what the TV and movies says, I'm probably the last person you'd want at your party, since it's almost guaranteed something will go wrong, and I'll end up being the guilty party and my family will have another embarrassing story to tell to whoever is ready to listen.
So kids, if you're reading this, please remember, you don't need to set your house on fire or stole Mike Tyson's tiger and get into trouble with local Mafia like the guys in the movies like Hangover do, to regret the moment you decided to go to that party. In my experience the combination of flooded floor, high heels, some alcohol and my legendary clumsiness will do that just fine. Actually, scratch the alcohol, the good doctor declared I'm not drunk half an hour later and since I don't know anyone who'd be capable of sobering up in 30 minutes, I think I can safely conclude I wasn't that drunk.
Party safely,

P.S.
Do not party the way I do if you want to meet a guy. Trust me when I say that a broken lip doesn't look attractive ;)

I watch Too Much TV a.k.a TV Series Worth Watching In 2014 (part 2)

As I struggle to decide which series are worth watching, this is what I came up with so far (the promised part two. I didn't plan it this way, but I'll probably also add part 3 and maybe even four for all the sereies that were awesome, but got cancelled).
The brand new 2014 series:

TRUE DETECTIVE

Out of curiosity (and because Matthew McConaughey plays the lead) I decided to watch the pilot episode of HBO new series True Detective. I can't say I was disappointed since I did get to watch McConaughey for 60 minutes.

The series follows two former homicide detectives who are interviewed by another two detectives about a murder of a  former prostitute named Dora Kelly Lang from 1995. They each tell their side of the story, not just how the investigation went, but also all about their relationship. The murder is highly unusual and very specific (it looks like some sort of ritualistic, satanistic killing or sacrifice) and at the end of episode we found out another murder with the same specifics was committed and they are trying to find out how this is possible since they already arrested the guy responsible in 1995.

The series is different from the usual series that are sporting police enforcement of any kind (from local P.D. to FBI, CIA or Texas rangers). There is no real action (no car chase or fighting), just a lot of long shots of Matthew thinking and watching the murder scene without saying a word. Also the story is jumping back and forth between past and the present and between both of the detectives stories (the actual story isn't repeated, they just each tells something about what happened). This means this series will be loved by those who are ready to think and really watch what is going on (because this is this type of series you watch for 20 minutes and nothing happens, than you turn to answer a short question and everything happens at those 30 seconds).  I haven't decided if I love it yet, but the writers definitely got my attention with the story so far.

BITTEN

Sci-fi brings you yet another TV series with werewolves as main protagonists. After seeing the pilot episode I can safely conclude that this series isn't meant for teenagers. It's like a werewolf version of True Blood. Lots of sex and nudity. In fact the first thing that happens in the movie is a sex scene. And then when other werewolves were presented there was more sex scenes and nudity. Which made me question if the creators wanted to turn it this way or if it was accidental, but it looks like werewolves are a very horny creatures.

Anyhow the series centers around the last female werewolf Elena. In the pilot episode we find out she has a life in Toronto and also that she is in a serious relationship with her best friend's brother. She is a photographer (she makes artistic pictures of nude human body. Anyone else picking up a pattern here?) and is about to have a huge show. Besides Elena there is another werewolf in Toronto (a very hot shrink, who helps her deal with all the werewolf stuff). Out of the blue Elena is called beck home (to  the place where all the werewolves hang out), because a girl was murdered by a werewolf just outside the house Elena calls home. We also find out that she had some sort of fall-out with one of the werewolves, I'm guessing they had an affair and then things went South and she ran away.

Overall, I did kind of like the series (except for the part when the painful transformation into werewolf is shown. Not my cup of tea.) and I kind of want to know what happens next. So they must of done something right?

Recap of an "old" series that just started a new season:

SUBURGATORY

The third season continues where the second ended. Ryan left for college which makes his mother turn into even more crazy version of herself. George and Dallas broke up and Tessa moved in with her mother, so George gets himself a dog and when Alex (Tessa's mom) leaves again makes up with Tessa. Also we found out Lisa isn't capable of keeping secrets, because she has a condition when her body forms a certain smell. Doctors can't explain it and neither can I, since Lisa was perfectly capable of lying when she knew about Ryan (well at least she was capable of lying for a while before she accidentally  told him). It's not my favourite series, but it's a good way to pass twenty minutes of your time if you have nothing to do and you watched all the other series (besides Ryan and Tessa broke up. I hate that. If you haven't figured out that yet, I watch most of the series just because I like the couples in them. And then they broke up and I get mad and continue to watch the series because I want to see them get back together. And most of the time is for nothing since they end up with someone else. And then I am both mad and sad).

Today my finals had begun and I might not post anything big for next couple of weeks. Or maybe I'll realize I don't want to study and I'll post something new every day. You (well, I) never know,
