What a day :(

Today was the first day of my school practice - me as a teacher, not a student. I don't know... I kinda liked it. To teach I mean... But... I think it's simply too much for me. The students were really cool and I taught really interesting subjects but... I went to school at 7 am, returned home at 3 pm. That would be all cool and stuff but then I had to translate a bit and prepare stuff for the classes tomorrow... and suddenly it was 8 pm and I still haven't eaten my dinner. And now I feel tired and cranky and I know that even though I teach only 2 classes tomorrow, the first one is at 8 am, the second at 12.30 so there will 4 hours that I will have to kill somehow. And then I have to go to my Japanese class because I can't afford to miss any time there anymore - I missed 5 classes already when I was in Germany. And so, I will return home at 4.30 pm (hopefully). And then I will still have to prepare myself for the classes on Wednesday and since I will have to give an oral exam to one girl, I will have to study the stuff I didn't teach her too... And then there is still the stuff I need to do for my own classes at the U because in three weeks, I will have to take my own exams there...

Sorry, folks... I just feel really cranky. I haven't felt like this for months. But I took magnesium which should calm down my nerves... hopefully, because I don't think I could fall asleep in this state *sigh*

So, please, my dear friends, could you rec me a story - in any fandom - that always makes you feel really good? I will offer one too - [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock's Conflict of Interests in the Smallville fandom. It's a really LONG story told from the POV of Lex's son Conner. A really cute fic.

But at least I can show you my new icon *points*

*hugs you* Sorry to hear things are feeling a bit overwhelming at the moment. I don't have one fic that I always go to when I'm down, but right now I'm reading Pretty Electric by Raletha (http://serendipity.fanworkrecs.com/surrender/au.html) and I can't say enough wonderful things about it! I don't know if you're a 3x4 fan but this is a really original and deeply philosphical fic and the way she writes Trowa and Quatre is just marvelous!


I hope things start to look up for you soon.

My feel-good story would probably be Ponderosa's A Moment of Perfection (http://zerotwofan.com/rapture/romancearchive/Ponderosa/perfection1.html). It's Heero/Duo, of course. I haven't read it in a long time. Maybe I should. ^_^

Hope you feel better soon, hon. *snugs*

*hugs my cranky girl* I rec Wolf Moon (http://www.kikotei.net/gw/dhml/ficarch/karen.html) by Karen. It's a get together 1x2 AU fantasy fic that I'm really enjoying on dhml. It's only archived up to part 13 on the website but Karen just posted part 23 on the ml, if you feel like hunting for more chapters! Hope you feel better soon.

Sometimes a good hummor story works. This one's a personal favorite of mine. It's called The Virus, and it's by Chris Jones. It can be found at http://www.furinkan.net/display.php?pageid=11, and covers a number of fandoms. But it calls itslef mainly a Ranma 1/2 Tenshi Muyo crossover.

Thank you so much! Is there angst in the story? Or some h/c? I have been unable to find any stories where Trowa would be hurt. I found only one where Dorothy poisoned him but that's all :(

Thank you, thank you! I haven't read a 1+2 story for ages. I think I should rectify it :D

*hugs back* Really? I haven't read that one. I love her Murder of Crows and Blood in Siberia series. They are simply excellent! :) I will have to take a peek at her other stories too. Thank you for the tip ;) And for the wonderful beta job too! *smooch*

I loved Ranma and I think I saw one episode of Tenchi Muyo. Then I have to take a look at that! :D Thank you for the recommendation.

BTW - is it Spike in your icon? SEXY!!!

[identity profile] chyna-rose23.livejournal.com 2005-11-22 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
NP. I was happy to give it.

And yes, that is Spike in the icon. You gotta love a sexy Spike

Ah, this is a different Karen, hun... Karen, the Huntress from dhml.

And for the wonderful beta job too! *smooch*

No worries, I enjoyed it ^_~!

(Sorry, just got this ^^;; ) Yup, it's quite angsty! Each chapter really grabs your emotions. Trowa especially just makes me want to give him a hig with the way Quatre treats him. I definitely, definitely recommend it. ♥ ♥
