12:00 am - Facebook
|
A post to let you guys know that I now officially have a facebook. It was something I meant to do years ago, when I came back from my international summer course and that seemed to be the only way to stay in touch with each other. But I just never got around making one. But today, in a huge wave of procrastination of course, I made one. It's probably going to take up lots of time I *should* spend studying, but until know it's proven a lot of fun. I still have to figure out how everything works, but it's exciting, especially having so many friends all of the sudden ^^.
So, check it out if you're interested, ignore if you're not. Obviously with you who read this, I already have an ideal way of communicating.
But anyway; I hope this link works:

9:49 am - The movie quotes meme...
|
Okay, so I promised ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) dark_kana that I would do this meme, and since I haven't done a meme since like forever or something, I guess it might not be such a bad idea. Plus, it's about movies, I *love* movies, so that works too.
Here's the deal:
1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess. (bonus points if you can tell me WHO SAID IT.)
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions. And no looking at the other comments!
Happy guessing!!!
... Is it difficult??
current mood:  okay

11:40 am - I'm still alive and kicking!
|
People may or may not have noticed the fact that my last post dates from July 14. This posting absence may have been scarcely noticed due to my frequent commenting and LJ presence. But yes, it seems that for quite some time I did not find it necessary to actually use my own livejournal. The most important reason is that I realized that a lot of my posts were emotional rants, and I felt it would be better that, whenever I felt emotional, I would prevent myself from posting in my LJ. Because mostly this flaring of emotions is very momentary and it's better not to blow it up and make it out to be bigger than it is. A second reason may also be that I was completely traumatized after I wrote a very long post concerning Harry Potter end of July and by accidentally pressing the back button I lost everything.
But anyway, I feel like it might be nice to start using my LJ again, though I make no promises. This post concerns:
The Golden Compass Movie
It's supposed to be out in the theatre this Wednesday. And since I fell completely in love with the books (I read the Northern Lights [British title, Golden Compass is the American title] over the summer and am currently reading The Subtle Knife) i really want to go see the movie. It also appears to have an interesting cast with Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig.
Because I like going to the cinema with a bunch op people, I made this post to see if anyone likes to join me at the movie theatre this very Wednesday. I haven't found the exact timetable yet, cause the people of the Kinepolis website seem to be very lost on the 'planning ahead' concept, but I expect there to be one around 19u45 and one at 22u15/30.
I know ikiningyo and industrellect expressed an interest to see it, so if they, and other people that stumble across this post and can make it to the Leuven movie theatre on Wednesday like to join me; let me know!! Let me know which screening would be fitting your schedule. The more the merrier! (lhune if you can make it, you can sleep over at my place)
Until my next post... whenever that's going to be...

9:08 pm - Back again!
|
Terug na een weekje weggeweest. Heb het allemaal goed overleefd :) een internetloze, fanfictionloze week. (hoewel ik heb een klein beetje valsgespeeld; ik ben woensdag naar een winkeltje geweest waar ze internet hadden om zo even 48 blz cursus af te printen die de prof pas vrijdag avond op Toledo had gezet, maar gezien mijn mama over mijn schouder mee keek valt dat niet onder de categorie 'internet gebruiken').
Ben zonder gebroken botten terug in België geraakt. Wel een verrokken nekspier. Maar dat zal wel snel overgaan, denk ik. Ik ben een pak meer gevallen op de piste dan vorig jaar. Maar dat was niet zo moeilijk, gezien ik vorig jaar nooit gevallen ben.
En ik zie bruin! Wie had dat gedacht! Dat mijn bleekscheet-pompoen-huid ooit ook 'bruin' zou kunnen worden! En nu vraag ik mij af *waarom* ik bruin wou worden. Elke keer ik in de spiegel kijk schrik ik mij rot. Het lijkt een beetje op dat mislukt bruin-zonder-zon experiment van een paar jaar geleden! (ofwel is het de spiegel) Wat was er nu ook al weer mis met bleek zijn? Ach ja, schoonheidsidealen?
Het was wel leuk op reis. Eenvoudig. Slapen, eten, skien, studeren en af en toe in bad. En voor de rest geen verplichtingen of activiteiten. Het deed wel deugd denk ik. Alleen ben ik wat moe. Vandaag heel de dag in de auto, en in de bergen slaap ik over het algemeen niet zo goed. Het lijkt alsof ik nooit helemaal slaap, omdat ik de hele tijd woelig lig te dromen. En zo, half bewust dromen, zodat je precies nog een beetje controle heb over je droom. Dromen is iets geks. Maar naar het schijnt 'verwerk' je ook bepaalde dingen in je dromen. Ik besef het misschien nog niet, maar ik ben dus nu (als de psychologie correct is) een volledig issue vrij persoon ^^!
Aan iedereen nog een vrolijk paasfeest gewenst! Met veel chocolade eitjes!

1:42 pm - Whiii
|
Due to being constantly annoyed by the construction noises, and lack of sleep, I probably don't even notice the throes of happiness and relief; I got my grades and they're really good!
Philosophy:
History of Medieval Philosophy: 18/20
which is amazing; the exam wasn't difficult, but I haven't heard anybody with such high grades ^ ^
Religion etc: 17/20
which is basically what everybody got if their exam went well; so my exam went well, and I'm happy
Philosophical Text from Ancient Greece (Aristotle's Biology): 16/20
yay! professor liked my paper (and the exam went good too)
Anglo-American Philosophy: 12/20
I'm a little disappointed here. I actually put quite a lot of effort in it. Though I greatly dislike analytic philosophy, I thought the paper was tolerably well... But I trespassed the word limit, and apparantly the professor's really strict about that. Plus; he didn't like my perspective on Wittgenstein. Ah, well, it can't be helped.
Law:
International and European Law: 15/20
whii that's great! the exam was quite difficult!
Procedural Law: 13/20
for those reading my livejournal; I *hated* the subject. It was pure hell. The exam, multiple choice, was horrible, every year tons of students fail the subject, this year as well. I survived it. And 13/20 is actually quite good, considering the circumstances of the subject.
So, I'm quite satisfied. I'm especially happy I finally got some 'really good' grades; 16, 17, 18: they are all very new to me. My maximum was always around 14 or 15 before.
New term now... I'm having some fight about some study programma issue. They are forcing me to follow a completely useless subject. I'm quite upset about it. I won't go into detail, because it would bore you tremendously.
Also, I should really update my fanfiction.. Someone, force me to do it! I'm lazy!

3:18 pm - 2007
|
Happy New Year to everybody.
For me; 2007 begins rather ill; literally. I've been suffering from all sorts of small health problems for the past week or so. Among them; dizziness. Constant lapses of dizziness while I was trying to study. Really annoying. Went to the doctor from blood tests; I'll have the results tomorrow. They're probably not going to find anything. Besides, the dizziness is better. It was replaced with a terrible cold. And when I say a cold, I mean a cold; some people refer to colds from the moment they sneeze once or twice; I mean soar throat from coughing so much I can't talk; red, painful nose from to much sneezing, headache... It's miserable. I'm beginning to think something in this world does not want me to ever celebrate New Year's Eve.. The past to years, I've spend it with my grandparents; going to bed at 11 and waking up at 7 to study; as if nothing happened. So this year; I wanted to do something special and of course I turn out ill. I spend New Year's Eve with my parents; watching one of many many BBC mini series I got for my birthday and christmas. I forced myself to stay up until midnight even though my eyes were red from tears and my throat was so soar I couldn't even swallow. Right after midnight I went to bed; not being able to sleep of course, from pain. It's only this morning that my mum went to the pharmacy to get some decent throat tablets. *Sigh* I barely got any sleep tonight, and I'm trying to study but thus far I've studied less than 3 hours, which is an absolute disgrace; it's already four in the afternoon! Usually by this time I've done 6 hours at least.
But anyway, I still felt like updating my journal.
Quick overview of 2006:
- big events: passing my second year of university, turning 20
- best memory: still fresh; my small birthday party on the 23rd
- worst memory: being in absolute panic for a couple exams: Modern Philosophy, State Law and Epistemology
- best decision: organizing trip to Edinburgh (though I actually made that decision in 2005, the event took place 2006)
- biggest mistakes: not going on a summer course, getting an ECI membership
- best movie in cinema: La Tourneuse des Pages
- best movie on video/dvd: Fingersmith mini series
- best book: The Curious Incident with the dog in the Nighttime
- best song: The Best is yet to Come (Stacey Kent), Riders on the Storm (The Doors)
- worst song: 9 Million Bicycles (Katie Melua)
- favourite uni subject: Religion (professor's quite crazy)
- things I will remember: stacking books in a distribution centre for days, standing on the Athenian Ancient Agora (philosophy's practically born there), breaking up with my boyfriend,
Other than that, what have I to say? How's pre-exam life treating me?
- I hate procedural law (why did I ever chose to minor in Law)
- Satie is great exam music
- I shouldn't be updating my journal right now, I should be studying
- I wish mother nature would give me good health for 2007, starting today... quit the coughing already!!!
- check out Ikiningyo's story she wrote for my birthday: http://ikiningyo.livejournal.com/51931.html#cutid1
- I got two pairs of gloves for my birthday; last year I got two hot water pitchers; I need to stop complaining about cold hand and feet :)
- wish you all the best!
Greetings,
Lily

12:10 pm - Exam Results
|
Everybody got them on Tuesday... Except for me, who got them yesterday. ^^ They just had to get me nervous...
But it's alright. They're pretty good:

Metaphysics: 12/20
Metaphysics Seminar: 12/20 (total Metaphysics: 12/20)
Criminal Law: 14/20
Philosophical Antropology: 14/20

Well then... On to next term it is... I think I'm going to be ill now... It's the time of the year, really. And now exams are over, I got my grades, term started, my body feels like 'yes! now it's payback time' or something.
Anyway, I'll live ^^

10:39 pm - New Term
|
Yep. New term started. One week after last exam. It's cruel.
I had *one* class today. And *still* managed to study almost two hours on this 7 pages f new course material. Can anyone please tell me how the hell that is even possible? I mean, either I must have slept the whole time (okay; that's a possibility because I really was tired) either this course is going to be f***ing difficult :(. And that can only get worse. First classes are usually the *easy* ones, like introductionary or something.
Well...*sigh* at least I only have a little more than 13 hours of class per week this term. Last term van 20 hours. That was hell.
So I'll live.
But for now, I'll sleep ;).

11:04 pm - update
|
yeah, it's been a long time...
just a short update on my life:
- I'm supposed to be studying, since exams are approaching; I'm sooo gonna fail!!!!
- I fell off the stairs a couple of days ago and I just have the biggest bruise imaginable; it looks really ugly. My mum almost got a heart attack seeing it. Since it's my low back, she had to apply the ointment, because I couldn't reach it myself; she closed her eyes the entire time; she just couldn't stand the look!
- I'm depressed right now, because I have too many subjects in this exam period.
- I am going to bed now. And forget about ever posting this useless livejournal update.

10:41 pm - What I think about love?
|
Hi there!
Life is stressy. Studying is stressy. So sometimes you need to do something relaxing.
This 'test' was actually quite accurate this time. This is really what I think/feel when it comes to love.
Though I haven't really been in a relationship before, so, well... time can change that :).
So what do I think about love? Interesting :) hehe!
Cynical Cupid
You Consider Love To Be 57% Idealistic, 28% Positive, and 71% Important. |
You are the Cynical Cupid! You view love as idealistic, yet your
attitude towards it is also rather cynical. You tend to consider love
to be something more than just a physical emotion. You also probably
feel that sex without love is rather disgusting. Of course, despite
your idealism of love, you are also very cynical, seeing love as
composed of misery and suffering that far outweighs anything positive
that stems from it. Most likely, you have been hurt before in a
relationship. Your cynical attitude is in stark contrast to your other
views of love. For instance, you consider love to be one of the most
important things in the world. You would give almost anything to feel
genuine love, but you also feel very cynical about ever finding such a
love, knowing how painful love can be from your experiences.
*
To sum up:
You think love is more IDEALISTIC, NEGATIVE, and IMPORTANT than others.
Please note that your percentage scores for each variable (found at
the top) are a much more accurate reflection of your love attitude than
this category description, which is highly speculative.
*
The other categories:
Anti-Cupid
Jilted Cynic
Realist
Loving Realist
Cynical Idealist
Idealist
Cupid |  |
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 32% on Idealism | | You scored higher than 11% on Optimism | | You scored higher than 44% on Importance |

current mood:  stupid cold!

1:28 pm - Bored again ;)
|
Just finished my mock exam, which went great; so time to relax:
(When you look at the results;note, English is my second foreign language :).
English Genius
You scored 100% Beginner, 92% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 100% Expert! | You did so extremely well, even I
can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon
intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You
have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly!
Way to go!
Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!

4:45 pm - Hi everybody!
|
Hey!
I'm totally new here. This is just one of my flings; I woke up this morning and decided I should try this 'livejournal' thing.
So, here it is; my very first journal entry; cool, ne?
I have absolutly no clue WHO is actually READING this ^^. Probably NOBODY but me :-).
So, what do I have to tell you guys??
I have no clue.
What should I tell myself today?
You've been a LAZY girl!!! I've done practically NO studying at all... *looking guitily*
PLUS instead of just hanging around, being lazy; you could have just as well UPDATED one of you fanfiction.net stories...
For the record; I'm a fervent author on fanfiction.net. Same name; Lullaby Lily. Bascially; Harry Potter, LOTR, one Star Wars and several Beyblade fics.
So; this will be how my very first journal entry ends.
Hope we'll be great friends! lol ^^
Hugs,
~Lily~
