5 words meme

I got 5 words from [info]kayen, he wants me to talk about and here I do :)
If you want to have 5 words from me, write a comment and ask for it.

Cats:


My cats are my world and my Family here in Bremen. After my flatmate and best friend here moved out and married, they're all I have. They're annoying, cute, destroying, lovely, hairy, cuddly and they have character.
The parents of my first bf had two cats which got panic when we were in the same room. So when I met a cat which slept the whole first meeting on my lap (it was love at first sight and he still loves me) I did not think and immediately agreed when they offered to take him with me.
Number two came back from a bad family (which is why she has a little mental problem, nobody knows exactly what they did with her...) and would have been drowned if my flatmate hadn't brought her home and number three was actually only a temporary guest - for 5 years now ;)
Number 2 + 3 actually belong to my ex-flatmate, but his wife is allergic, so he left them with me. Some days when I'm in a depressive mood, I start to cry when I realize that they will die some day... But thats hopefully not so soon (approx. 10-15 years)

Gaming:


Actually, I'm not a classical gamer.
My dad had a C64 when I was young but even my mom played more often than I. When I got my own PC, all I played were different versions of MahJongg. Later, when I moved together with my boyfriend, I started playing Games like Tomb Raider or Gothic. But never finished one without a walkthrough, which actually kills a lot of the actual challenge. I loved simple racing games where you have nothing else to do but being the fastest. But even on those I cheated and made me infinite health packs, for not having to drive precise.
In 2005 I watched my flatmate creating a dwarf and running through the World of Warcraft and after a few weeks I wanted to have my own little toon, so I entered the game I play until today. But even there I don't follow the classical goals to see the high end content and manage challenges with other players but I prefer playing on my own... A singleplayer game with a built-in chat and the possibility to get help when needed.
And why do I play? Because there is either nothing better to do (no new book available) or somebody wants to play with me. I was addicted in the beginning, when everything was new and thrilling but in between its a nice distraction to play some pc games and not more.
Sorry, not a good explanation why somebody is playing...
Oh wait, I have a Wii now and it's a lot of fun to use it together with friends. Making yourself an idiot and waving around like stupid ;) I played HP on it and its cool to use the remote as a wand or stirring potions etc. In general I use it mostly for the Balance Board and a bit sports (way too seldom)

Slash:


I LOVE it! Gay men always fascinated me. Maybe that's like the lesbians fantasy for many men...
No, actually I have no idea where this comes from, but even with 13 years a friend and I slashed boys we knew... 2003 my sister [info]numsi sent me a story with a kiss between Harry and Draco and I was immediately addicted. I have a thing for those love-hate relationships, so they were perfect. My OTP forever <3
I also read other pairings and fandoms but nothing is like them. I'm still RP'ing a lot of H/D and just recently started to read and write again.

Work:


I'm a programmer and work with plsql (oracle) and C# (.net).
Sometimes I think I took the wrong way when I had the choice, which is why I'm a programmer and not a classical singer, which I'd planned until I was 19. I was very good back then, but during my exams in school I realized that I will never be a famous opera star and so I quit this dream.
Since I had no idea what to do else, the job agency sent me to a computer seminar. I've worked with PCs for years and really enjoyed the seminar, so I joined two of my classmates and wrote an application for becoming an IT professional. That's what I am and most time I like it. My colleagues are great and our customers all over the world.
Only sometimes I get nostalgic and whine about my missed chance as a great singer. After 10 years of not singing, all technique is gone... But I plan to take lessons again in autumn... Together with getting a drivers license ;)

Twitter:


Twitter is a microblogging system and comparable with LJ. Everybody writes entries (max. 140 characters per post) and there is a time line with all your friend's entries, like the flist. And it made me a better person *nods*
Many people (incl. me) are skeptic in the beginning and can't imagine what 140 characters are good for - its not even a sms. But depending on your friends you have brilliant jokes, intelligent remarks or interesting news.
I have to admit I'm completely a-political and never watch / read news. Via Twitter I learned i.e. about the Iran election and the net censorship in Germany. I'm still not a news junkie but I'm not entirely ignorant anymore. So its not only "im eating tuna salad- yummy" but also quite useful or amusing stuff.
There are even a lot of celebs on Twitter, but often they aren't half as interesting as "normal" people and do a lot of self promotion *yawn* Some positive examples are:
Tom Felton
* Is it true you can buy practically anything from vending machines in japan? I'll report my findings x
* Thanks for all your HP6 reviews, very happy 99.9% of you seemed to enjoy it! Anyone feel sorry for Draco now??! fragile little child x
* Your eyebrows looked kind of odd though, because they didn't match your hair,(via @Jabogan)trust me,we died them blonde once....it's odder!x
Stephen Fry
* Speed bumps are evil: they stab your bladder and say "Nah"...
* Still in cab. Clenched thighs so hard my testicles have shot up my neck. Dear me.
* As for all you wicked people who tWEEted "sssssssss" and "tinkle"and "fountain". Shame on you. Home now. Made it.
Kevin Smith
* Hey Tween girls! At my panel today I will re-enact Edward chest-reveal moment a'la NEW MOON. Fair warning: my boobs are bigger than Bella's.
* Missing my euthanized 30k in porn bots and spammers. Twitter saw them as purge-worthy, but to me? They were solicitous, repetitive family.
* Oh the irony of Hall H-ers booing TWILIGHT fans. Like a Trekkie passing a JEDI fan and muttering "Loser." Embrace next gen of geeks, people.
And there is even H/D porn *giggles* I mentioned it a few entries before and its nicer to read it bundled in [info]dysonrules' journal, but its Twitterporn.

pre-writing on paper = bad

I have the habit to write long entries or stories or whatever first on paper. Of course it's easy during workhours with nothing to do or in the bus, but in the end you sit there with 5 pages small written text and have to type it. *baaaah*
But I have a nice new smartphone with a keyboard, so maybe I can type a bit of this in the bus... I wrote sooooo much text for [info]kayen's 5-words-meme...

Memo to self: use smartphone in the first place and not the paper!

Does anybody of you ever use the LJ messenger? I have it integrated into my Miranda, but the only contact I ever see, is Frank, who publishes my entries directly (like this one). Actually that's quite nice from him ;) Thank you!

[Drabble] Parseltongue - H/D - PG13

  • Jul. 26th, 2009 at 4:01 PM
H/D shiver
This is a plotbunny I carry for years... it was just reactivated, when I read a story today.

Maybe I'm going to make this a story one day, but now it's a Drabble/Ficlet and you know how serious to take my plans to write something *g* (not at all) But this topic is worth a full story *sigh*

Title:
Parseltongue
Disclaimer:
The characters aren’t mine, but the plot is mine, mine, mine!
Pairing:
Harry/Draco
Rating:
PG13
Summary:
Draco is always distracted when Harry starts to swear.

Parseltongue


He was doing it again. Draco sighed and tried to concentrate on his book, but he couldn't. All he could do was listening to Harry, who stared at the questions they got from Snape, and swore. At least that was what Draco guessed, because every time when Harry was annoyed, he switched to parseltongue so nobody could understand what he was ranting about.
Actually, Draco didn't care what he was saying, it could have been the menu card of the Three Broomsticks. Whenever he heard Harry making these sexy hissing noises he got instantly hard and aroused.
Which was why he loved to annoy Harry in the first place.

Realization!

H/D on the broom
I can't write anymore, because I'm RP'ing H/D all the time. All fantasy and creativity are absorbed by the RPs and my urge to create some H/D situations is sated by that.

Now my partner is unavailable for a while and I feel the need to write and to create some stories... Sounds logical, hu?! Maybe it's also because I'm back here and read a few very nice things, but in general I guess that that, in fact, is the reason.

OK, I have to think about how to handle that ;)

Twitter + H/D = love

In one of my recent (cough) entries I mentioned Twitter. Yesterday I learned that [info]dysonrules aka SlytherinSexgod and [info]byaghro aka Aurorsupreme write some nice H/D Twitterporn ;)

In [info]dysonrules' journal you can follow the tweets with a bit of delay. Part I (there are 22 until today). It's definitely readible and a lot of fun :)

Enough advertising today, I need to find a sitisfying design now.

When I sat in the tram, I saw a little ladybug which who was fallen on his back and struggling to come back to his feet. I felt very bad for the poor little thing and almost got up to help him. With a little bit of luck, he managed it himself and I watched him searching for the exit. I was really relived that he got back to his feet and still worried when he never flew out the doors when they were open. When I left the tram, I suddenly felt something weird on my finger and shook my hand. When I looked down, I saw that I carried the little ladybug outside the tram and smiled.

I have a H/D idea *excited*

  • Jul. 23rd, 2009 at 10:21 AM
Victoria Francés Angel
Yes, it's unbelievable, but true: I have an idea (my prrrrecccccciousssss). Some H/D smut with a hint of plot even ;)

Yesterday I finally removed the info page at my website (about closing te archive and a link to a new site) and it was sad, again. I remember I was very sad when anouncing it the first time (2007) and now I'm sad, again. But since I'm not working on it aymore, it does not make sense to keep it on my primary webspace...
I'm going to start a blog for "normal" things instead, since Twitter does change my view of some things and I want to write about it.

Gimme more H/D love

  • Jul. 22nd, 2009 at 8:26 PM
H/D stay close to me
I'm sneaking in, again. And I want to see a lot of H/D porn, but my flist only shows WOW entries or multi-chaptered stories, which I don't want to start. *sigh* At least there were the challenge results from [info]harrylovesdraco *yay*

So if you read some good and not too long smut lately, tell me, I'm starving for nice H/D sex.

But back to "normal" things: how are you, guys? I'm fine - nothing exceptional... just work and work and sleep and my cats *boring*

Twilight the 2nd and Twitter

  • May. 24th, 2009 at 4:53 PM
Vampires
In between I've read all 4 books and... uhm... what shall I say? Honestly I really don't know what to say about them... They're... funny. Let's say I read them in a few days, because they're really entertaining. But the plot... well... as you can see I lack on words to describe my impressions.

Vampires, oh excuse me, sparkling vampires, werwolfes, superbabe... As my sister, [info]numsi, said: "it's a huge Mary Sue" and you know that's not exactly a compliment ;)

Do you know Twitter? I think it't a nice idea and very entertaining, but you know me... I lose my interest sooner or later, so let's see how long this will last.

My Twitter )

Twilight

  • Apr. 18th, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Victoria Francés Angel
Yes, I'm going to write about Twilight... I bought the book around Christmas for my flight from the US home, because I was in Vampire/Fantasy mood, after reading the first Dark Hunter stories. And since the bookstore didn't had more of them, I decided to take Twilight instead. Actually I haven't read it until this week and it was only because I ran out of other books ;)

But I have to admit that I enjoyed it. I'm not exactly a faaaaaan *squee* but it was nice to read, even if the idea of a sparkling vampire is really hilarious!

The actual problem was, that I've seen so many pictures of Robert Pattinson, I was automatically imagining him, while reading the book and I'm sorry, but he definitely does NOT match the description of a beautiful angelic guy with an inviting voice... that was a bit annoying.

Besides of that, I'm fine. My living room got a complete make over <3 and work is not too stressy at the moment. Weather is nice (not too warm and sunny), my cats irritating as always, but I love them to death!

Some days ago, I realised that I don't feel... final. Sounds odd, but I explain: I've never had the feeling that I'm a grown up, although I'm also not a youth. I hated being a teen even when I was one and was always more sophisticated somehow. But still I'm not an adult, or, at least, don't feel like one. I'm living on my own, I have a nice job, I have a life I really like, but still I don't have the feeling, that this is the end. Sure, life is never at it's end and you always develop and change, but actually I'm in a status, which will be most likely stable for the next 10, 20, 30 years. And I feel totally comfortable with my current situation, but there is a feeling deep inside, that this can't be it... that this is temporary and will change soon, and I have no idea why.

I don't want to change anything. I'm actually wishless happy. You know those moments when you see a falling star or a lash and you should make a wish? I never know, what to wish... I have none of those wishes. I maybe wish that I have a driver's license, but that's nothing you can wish when watching a star... I don't wish for Mr. Right, a family, becoming a superstar, loosing 80 pounds, a pony ;) That makes me wonder, if something is wrong... it is healthy to wish and to dream and everybody should have dreams!

Yeah, I know... I always post some creepy philosophical stuff. You don't have to answer anything of that ;) Just tell how you are and maybe your experiences about Twilight or whatever comes into your mind :) I'll go now and look for new icons.

Taken from [info]verschreibsel, who has an amazing userpic:

1. Take four books off your bookshelf.
2. Write the first sentence
3. Write the last sentence on page fifty
4. Write the second sentence on page one hundred
5. Write the next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
6. Write the final sentence of the book
7. Tag four people (as if I have so many readers left ;) )

The Wonderful Wizard of OZ by L.Frank Baum )
Wow that were long sentences...

Death du Jour by Kathy Reichs )
quite the opposite *g*

Night Play by Sherrily Kenyon )
This could have been a PG16 part, but they picked the harmless sentences ;)

Zen and the Art of Vampires by Kate MacAlister )
I haven't even read this one, but bought it for my last flights; together with Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, which I haven't read either.

My own veela try

  • Feb. 10th, 2009 at 8:33 PM
H/D Scar touching
About 5 years ago (what an awful long time Oo) I was deep in my HP Fan fiction obsession and read a beautiful story from [info]michaelmalfoy about the topic Draco = Veela, Harry = his mate. I have no idea if this is still around in the current stories, but back then it was very popular.
Inspired by his story, I started one by myself, I actually really liked, but never published. Suddenly I hated to be author no. 7820455 who writes a veela story and was looking for a different background. some people offered me nice ideas, but nothing fit for me, so I never finished the story.
Through the years I was reading my (3 chaptered) story every know and then and still like it, so today, I decided to go back to the roots and make it a veela story, again, so that I can finally finish it. Opposite to my usual stories it has a plot and not that much sex *g* . So far it's only in German, but when I was talking to Michael about it, I promised to translate it for him, since he was my inspiration. For him it's too late, but I'll translate it anyway for making it more public (yes, I love to be read by as many people as possible *g*).

This decision was partly made because of a mail I got from [info]angelsanny, who asked for my first story.

Hey,

as you might know, with a paid account you automatically get an e-mail address. And no surprise, you automatically receive more spam. And what are there annoying spam mails about? Gay live cams. I really laughed hard when I saw this. Usually I get gazillions of viagra, casino, girl chats and similar useless stuff, but here, I finally get something that might interest me ;) The bots for analyzing the key words are really good here *g*

Last.FM and creativity

Victoria Francés Angel
Hey,

I'm at work and feel bored... it's not that I don't have anything to do, but I'm terribly unmotivated and want to have weekend.
A few days ago I remembered last.FM and reactivated my account for listening to music at work. Usually I hate working while listening to music, but when I'm like today it's ok ;)
It's nice... you can hear you own collection or start a station with a special tag or artist.

Creativity is a tricky thing... either it comes to you when you have no time at all and doesn't leave you until you write something, or it's totally absent when you have loads of time. Or, as it is at the moment: It's under the surface and makes me wanting to write, but I have absolutely no idea about what. There is a huge urge to write something very dirty, but my mind is empty. *grml*

Ok, I better get focused on my work and try to leave early. Tomorrow some guys are coming and gonna remove the last hint of my ex-flatmate... the bed which was still in my living room (it's a loft bed). It's good for me, but my cats will hate me for that :( They love sleeping up there and there will be a lot of space lost for them *sigh*
