| eledhwenlin | 10:50p | PSA: Backing up LJ. Because of recent events I backed up my LJ today, both using LJ archive and reposting it via LJ-Sec to JournalFen, GreatestJournal and InsaneJournal. Which makes four back-ups. Call me paranoid, but at least I have the entirety of my 2100 posts and about half my comments saved (only 11k of my 20k comments could be archived on LJ Archive, which makes me a sad panda). In case, you'd like to do the same, here are links to two posts which I found most interesting: ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} brown_betty explains how to back up your LJ via LJ Archive here (note: only for Windows user)snapetoy explains how to post to multiple journals using Semagic here Current Mood: accomplished |

| eledhwenlin | 9:01p | It's all "bah, humbug" right now. 1.) I did my Semantics assignment. You know you're having fun when you spend two hours on only one problem. /sarcasm 2.) For the first time in a really long time my inbox count is under 30. 3.) I finished my book today. 4.) I ate really good chocolate cake. 5.) I wrote e-mails to people who should've heard from me a couple of days ago. 6.) I printed out the new ds_flashfiction challenge. 7.) I'm listening to John Butler Trio, which usually never fails to make me happy and relaxed. 8.) I'm currently reading I'm a strange loop. 9.) I did manage to watch something of my ever-growing pile of media. => This was a very productive Sunday. Weekend, actually, as I got some things done yesterday, too. Now, if anyone has ideas for why I'm still feeling down, please tell. *goes away to read more and contemplate plots* |

| eledhwenlin | 4:35p | I'm incredibly hungry. Which is a good thing because this morning I was dying of stomach cramps. Sometimes a consistent diet of tea and gingerbread helps better than medicine. On the downside, I'm only so hungry because I worked for seven hours straight today, did not have lunch, did not have breakfast apart of the three measly pieces of the aforementioned gingerbread and I did not eat dinner yesterday. I'm ravenous, people. And I'm mostly done with work for this week. Now I need to hunt something to eat. And then I might actually be able to work on the DSSS. Miracles happen all the time. |
| Monday, October 29th, 2007 | ||
| eledhwenlin | 10:53a | I feel a bit rambly. * I like Monday, contrarily to what popular culture is trying to tell me. Monday is when I'm full of energy and still quite motivated. Thursdays, on the other hand, suck because it's not the weekend yet. I usually crash horribly on Thursday, but on Monday I still feel good. * I also like raisins. I actually like a lot of food. But raisins in particular are something that many people detest, for reasons unknown to me. What's a food you like that other people don't? - I can understand people not eating something because of allergies or bad experiences (I don't eat squid because I once got some sushi with not so fresh squid on it and I grow sick from the thought alone); eating something because it doesn't look nice, without even tasting it once, puzzles me. I at least try everything. There's a reason why my deathly sin in all those memes is always gluttony. * Nos has had a very awesome idea. I feel the need to read those comments again and again. ♥ * From this week on, I'll take up the chats again. But there'll only be writing chats until Christmas. * My boss told me not to come into work today. I don't mind at all. |
| Saturday, October 27th, 2007 | ||
| eledhwenlin | 2:56p | I'm slightly spammy today, am I not? I have now officially done all items on my to-do-list for today* and it's not even 3pm yet. \o/ I call this a good day. Time management is next up on the poll. I'm trying to do at least one of these every week. * While it is not my goal to do all items on my list every day (*chants* 80 percent are enough, 80 percent are enough), it is still quite satisfying to see everything striked through. It makes me hope that one day I might actually be uptodate and be able to do stuff on a whim without having to consider whether I've got time for it. It's a good motivation booster. |

| eledhwenlin | 8:29p | Back from the bookfair. Am dead on my feet. Was fun. Walked around a lot. Wrote some more of my ds_match assignment. Am pondering "Dear Santa" letter. Am stalking my recipient (in nice and fun ways). Am going to bed soon. Hope to be able to talk in full sentences (with subjects, even) tomorrow. |

| eledhwenlin | 8:13p | I hate getting work emails after 6pm. |
| eledhwenlin | 8:49a | *headdesk* I just managed to enter the wrong PIN on my cell phone. Three times. Darlings, this is why I never shut my cell phone off and why I never let the battery run empty. Except the last thing happened on Saturday. So I just spent twenty minutes hunting through the Big Box of Everything Important to find out that I didn't have the manual and the PIN stuff in there. I've got all kinds of manuals in there - camera, external hard drives, book-binding machine, laminating machine and several I couldn't assign to anything I own. But no cell phone. Cue: search of the Big Cupboard of Everything. Cue finding me the damn box and entering happily the correct numbers to get my cell phone back. Tomorrow I'm getting up at noon. |

| eledhwenlin | 6:41p | Meep. Because of RL issues the chat might start late. To join the chat, contact me (AIM name: eledhwenlin) and I'll invite you in. |

| eledhwenlin | 11:57p | The scoop on today. Cat He's had some minor surgery (one of the pins was shortened and moved back to its proper place). He's fine, but he'll have to stay in the small cage for another two to three weeks. It'll be... interesting. Family My parents both are on vacation for the next two weeks. There are some plans to be social. That will be interesting, too ... Thesis How many times have I already said that I'm almost done with the implementation? I hope this will be the last time. Barring any unforeseen events, like my supervisor being unsatisfied with my features again or computers crashing, I'll have the final results next Monday. Which means that from then on I'll be writing full time. I am kind of very, very, VERY motivated to write. General I did some overdue stuff today, which greatly helped my peace of mind. Still not uptodate, but currently the cat and the thesis are my highest priorities. Fandom I'm thinking Getting Married in Buffalo Jump for the next viewing party. Or Last Night? Hm. There might be a poll. And I still need to explain to people what exactly I mean by writing chat, but at least no one ran away, when I mentioned it on Saturday. \?/ |

| eledhwenlin | 10:21p | I can't believe the weekend's already over. Things I loved: + The viewing chat. I had a blast and fell in love with Wilby Wonderful. Duck FTW. + People are interested in the writing chat and didn't consider me a weirdo for suggesting it. \o/ More on that tomorrow. + I wrote 1k of fic. Things that didn't go so well: - I didn't work on the thesis at all. Neither on the programming nor the writing. - I didn't do so well on most RL stuff. - I'm totally overanalyzing whether I can or cannot say that I'm not okay without coming off as a) a drama queen, b) an attention whore or c) a whining spoiled brat. I'm also overanalyzing whether telling that makes any of these things, too. But sleep makes everything better, so I'm off to bed now. |

| eledhwenlin | 10:58p | I promise this is my last entry today. Posting ficlets is good for the soul. I also wrote today, only a couple hundred words, but I wrote! For the first time in weeks! I've managed to get uptodate with the editing for the reviewing page (why must those people write so many reviews? And so fast, too?) AND tomorrow I can start the test phase of my thesis, so I can start writing tomorrow afternoon and, darlings, the end is near. I'll register the thesis first thing tomorrow morning and the next time I meet my prof I'll be able to say stuff like: "I've entered the last phase of the project!" Strangely this means that I don't hate my thesis anymore. It's interesting to see how one's opinion changes, when the damn thing actually starts working. ;) I see all of this, today's productiveness and verve and the fact that I did not freak out once, as a sign that I made the right decision on Monday. I actually only vacated my bed for about two hours, when my mother came home and there was dinner and then I watched CSI:NY. And then I went back to bed. \o/ |

| eledhwenlin | 10:42p | Drive-by post. Happy birthday, resonant8! |
| Sunday, March 18th, 2007 | ||
| eledhwenlin | 11:52a | One of these days I might actually be able to write a post with, y'know, segues and stuff like that. And I can't even write lists because I just keep mentioning the same things over and over again. So, in short: I'm still alive, have gotten a lot of work done, am still not done with my harlequins, am still tired, am (again) mopey and hermit-y, will eat chocolate, will be back later. Am only posting because of internal urge. |
| Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007 | ||
| eledhwenlin | 10:02a | It's Tuesday morning, not quite 10am yet. I'm showered, dressed, caught up with my flist, emails and comments and I still have almost an hour to spare before I leave. If I went my bus, I'd still have 15 minutes to spare. This hasn't happened this year yet. I feel strangely good. The only problem is that now I'm ready to go, I also want to go. *twitches* Anyway. Good Tuesday to you! I'll be back tonight, hopefully bearing fic. |
| Saturday, April 9th, 2005 | ||
| eledhwenlin | 11:00a | The Numb3rs fic has been reworked (wordcount was doubled!) and it's off to my beta. *whimper* For the past few days I've been really tired. I chalked it up to going to bed at midnight and getting up at roughly 8am again. On the weekend I wanted to sleep for as long as I wanted/needed and thought that I'd probably get up at noon. It is Saturday and I woke up at... 8.30am. I was up and awake at 9am. This amuses me a bit, but it's okay, because I can get stuff done now (first load of laundry is being done as we speak - there are actually two loads, but then all my stuff is clean). My sunburn is gone and my arm is now slightly tanned. It is, of course, mostly non-recognisable, but hey. Spring just started. I'll get some more stuff done now. See you later. :) |

| eledhwenlin | 9:14p | New friends. I noticed that there's some new friending going on (caused by April Fools) and I have a message: I'll check out your journals, but might not be friend at once. I hope you'll understand that. Note to self: finally update my bio! I got a nice shiny entry about my journal politics somewhere... |
| eledhwenlin | 3:44p | The normal entry. Happy birthday, macfey! *throws confetti*Today also marks the start of April Fools. I should get my daily writing... My feet officially hate me. But it's either the bus or walking and I'm saving money, because I have no idea what bills I'll have to pay and how high they'll be. Too many unknown variables for me to rest comfortably. My downloadrates suck. - I just checked, they don't. Just the one for Lost 1x17. Bah. I bought pencils. And a sketchblock. I am doomed. |

| eledhwenlin | 9:40a | Good morning, world. Happy birthday, chibineko! I hope you have the bestest of all days and that you'll receive lots of love (and presents). *hugs*I'm trying to keep away from the word association thread on AF. There a lot of things I should be doing, so I'm going to tackle them one by one. I think I need a time-table... I'm going to be home all morning, so this won't be the only entry today. ;) This afternoon I'll go to a second-hand manga store with Anja. Be prepared for squeeage. If I find the Kizuna manga there... I'll buy them without a second thought. I think I'd better get some money from the ATM... [just for random: ATMs in Japan suck. They have business hours. Yes, you heard right. Business hours. Damn things are closed at the weekend, on holidays and are open 9-7 (but that's the one on campus and hours vary according to the bank). Kinda puts a damper on the whole reason for having ATMs IMHO. But nobody asked me.] ( So I watched CSI yesternight. ) |
| Tuesday, March 29th, 2005 | ||
| eledhwenlin | 9:57p | TV. I'm done with my Japanese today (although I must admit that I didn't really get done a lot... but then I didn't expect me to either). Now I'll watch CSI 5x17 "Compulsion" and then I'll go to bed. Or I'll spam the boards a bit more (I've licked blood). See you all fresh in the morning! |
