I'm sorry for not updating sooner, but the Sherlock Holmes fandom and one certain actor have completely eaten my life. And I mean completely.

But it's not like any of you care about my RL shit anyways, so all's well ;)

Anyhow, guys, I FUCKING PASSED THE FUCKING DRIVING EXAM!!!! Excuse the language but... damn! Fucking finally. It was my 6th and last attempt too, so I cannot take much credit for passing it, as the instructor probably bribed the examining guy or something. Seriously, it wasn't even my best attempt. But whatfuckingever. So, I should have the driving license by the end of February. And then I'll never drive again lmao

Also, I passed my last two uni exams as well! I passed Latin!! Thank you God! lmao Well, the test wasn't all that difficult, but still. And I even got an A on the Theory of literature exam. Good times :)

So, with all exams over, I don't have school 'till the 15th of February :) So if anyone is bored and wants to come visit me or invite me over or smt I'm totally game ;) Because I have nothing planned. Well, other than reading Holmes porn and watch RDJ movies, that is.

Okay, the end of this entirely positive entry. Doesn't happen too often over here, eh? lol

Okay, a list, 'cause I don't feel like making up whole meaningful sentences.
  • I've passed 8 exams so far, all at the first attempt, yay! :) Kinda good grades too, just one B and C. I have 2 left, Theory of Spanish literature on Monday and Latin attempt vol. 2 on Wednesday. Dunno how that'll go though.
  • I've already put together the timetable for the next semester and I have school just till Wednesday! Fair enough after the terrible timetable I had last semester. However, on Monday I've signed up for 'movie screening' (yes, it's a subject for credits) so I have school from 8am to 8pm, ew.
  • I called my driving lessons instructor and on Monday the 25th I have the LAST attempt (6th? 7th?) at the driving exam. If I fail, bye bye a driving licensee AND about 770 euro/670 pounds/1083 dollars. I don't really think I'll pass it, just sayin'. After that, bye bye all of you too, because my mother will murder me.
  • I finally got the second book in the 'Chet and Bernie' series by Spencer Quinn :) The first one is called 'Dog On It' and the second, which I bought from Amazon, is called 'Thereby Hangs a Tail'. If you ever stumble upon it, read it! :) It's really great and refreshing, one of the best books I've read in a long while.
  • Yesterday, I ordered all 11 seasons of M*A*S*H on DVD! For just 68 pounds, how cool is that?! So, for the rest of the year, I think I'll  be watching M*A*S*H :)
So that's about everything that's going on in my life right now. If I pass Latin on the 27th I'll won't have school till the 15th of February, so yay! :)

Okay, so I can take a little break from studying today afternoon as I don't have another exam till Wednesday :) However, it's from History of Spain in Spanish, so I'd better start, as my Spanish is just getting worse and worse, eh. However, only 3 exams left (hopefully, depends if I pass them or will have to repeat some of them), and so far I passed 7 of my exams at the first attempt, so yay :)

Anyways, I've stolen a meme from
[info]seether_79 to procrastinate


1. Bold the names of guys you'd definitely sex it up with.
2. Italicize the names of guys you might do after a little persuasion.
3. Leave the guys who don't do anything for you alone.
4. Put a question mark after the guys you've never heard of.
5. Strike the guys you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.
6. Add three more guys to the list.

Do you love me?  )

Okay, so thanx to the wonderful and awesome [info]seether_79 I now have a paid account :) However, I've no clue what the actual benefits of that are (yet), apart from being able to upload more icons :) I'm sure I'll figure it out somehow one day though lol

I know I haven't been around much lately, but school caught up with me and I had to actually study, gosh. However, that's nothing compared to what's to come in January, seeing as I've like 10 big exams. Oh the joys of university studies *weeps*

Also, Ive failed my driving license exams five (5) times so far. Yes. And no, no comment. On Monday attempt no. 6 will happen. I have no expectations whatsoever anymore. 

Hm, what else. No Christmas mood in here. I have yet to send a few cards. And I have no presents. And I probably won't get any presents either. And we're not having a Christmas tree this year either, partly because of the cat.

Okay guys, hope you're all enjoying the holidays :) More than I am, that is.

So, I decided to finally do at least a couple of the memes I've been planning to. Both are stolen from [info]seether_79

1)List 5 celebrities you would have sex with without even asking questions.
2) Put all of them IN ORDER of your lust for them [5 - 1, 1 is the hottest].
3) Say which movie/show/thing it was that hooked you.
4) Supply photos for said people.
5) Tag five friends to do the same.
click for the pretty  )

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!
icons! )

Okay, so I guess there's been enough whining in this journal to last at least a few more days, so it's time for smt different! :)

My LJ and RL friend
[info]wierush (yes, RL friend on LJ, the horrors! lol) wanted to see some more pics of Marla the cat so here you go :) They've been all taken a week ago or so.





On another note, I'm going to the cinema today to see 'Antichrist' :) There's some festival of French movies, so they're showing each movie once only so I was kinda lucky to get tickets for this one. It'd better be good lol


Other than that, nothing too exciting happening in here.

Today it's exactly 20 years since the communist reign in Czechoslovakia ended and we became a democratic state. So that's why I don't have school and can procrastinate and watch House. Speaking of which, I loved the latest episode :) Speaking of the Velvet Revolution (fancy name, eh?) I guess I'm glad we don't live in communism anymore (now, not that I ever have, but that's beside the point) but I cannot say the political situation in here is much better. But I don't care about politics in general, so back to whining.

Sometimes it feels like I'll probably have to quit facebook. Or just go there much less than I do now. If you've read my latest post, you know why. If not, then just know that I'm a pathetic jealous creature. Initially, when I decided to make this post, I wanted to talk about that a bit more, but I've decided I won't bother you with my insecurities and make an even bigger ass of myself. So let's change the topic again.

Erm, driving lessons. I failed the practical exam again. Don't say that surprises you. However, this time, I didn't make any big mistake so the guy was just an ass. But I'm getting kinda tired of it, really. The next time will be the fifth and I'm not sure I wanna bother again. It's not like I need a driving license that much.

School's been okay. A lot of lessons were canceled lately so I didn't have to study much. However, I should look at Latin today, ew.

I wanted to post some new pics of Marla but I'm too lazy now. Maybe sometime later, if anyone would be interested.

So that's about everything that's going on in my life now. Yes, terribly exciting. Hope y'all doing much better <3


PS: to explain the title of the entry, it's in Czech obviously. A line from a famous song sung by a famous singer on the day of the Velvet revolution in Prague for thousands of people. The line roughly says 'Let peace continue with this country...' If anyone is interested, you can watch the video here 'Modlitba pro Martu' :) There's an english translation too.

You know, I hate myself for being insanely jealous of other people's lives.

The worst thing that can happen to you is to get a taste of what life could be like and then get thrown back into your own pathetic day to day reality.

And I hate myself for thinking that too.

I just plain hate myself, I guess.

The first ten people to comment give me a request for a picture to be taken of something in my life.
Then those 10 people who requested photos have to post this same challenge in their own journal, with 1 additional rule (of their own choosing). The 10 people who comment on that entry, have to add ANOTHER rule of their own, and so on and so forth.


My rule....nothing super creepy. ([info]chickloveslotr)

My rule...that requires me to pack extra stuff for my trip ([info]rusted_halo)

My rule... nothing pervy ([info]captainmarveljt)

Yeah, I know I haven't updated in ages (again) but I will soon :)

Anyways, I'm posting this to plug a lovely writing community [info]writing_weekly
It's not about any specific fandom, so if you're interested, have a look :) It's currently being revived and a new prompt is up :)

That's all for now but I'll be back lol

You possibly cannot imagine my surprise, when, searching for some info on my homework to intro to literature, I stumbled upon 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' by Beatles on wiki and found out the poetic metre of the song was dactylic tetrametre. It made my day like a hundred times better, seriously. Sad, eh? Yeah, that's where I've ended up, counting syllables in English and Spanish poems, trying to decide if they're stressed or unstressed and if they follow some pattern. If so, then which? Iambic? Dactylic? Trochaic? Probably needles to say I've no clue most of the times. But, I have what I wanted so I'm supposed not to complain, right?

On another note, Marla is the sweetest little thing that exists :) Well, when she wants to be. She can also be a pretty mean, annoying cat. I don't care really, but she already damaged like 3 plants and my mother keeps making some crude comments like 'if she does it again, she goes'. I mean, come on, she'll do it again 'cause she's a stupid cat! The point is, I'm not sure if my mother would actually follow through with her threats, but I already know, after like a month, that I can't imagine not having her around. The cat, I mean. So every time I hear some angry shrieks I always anticipate that it'll be the last straw. Dunno what I'd do in that case.

Also, I got an email from my father on Friday. It was just a few lines, the usual 'what you've been up to blahblah' and then he just casually informed me that we won't be going to my aunt anytime soon 'cause she's been sick for a long time and thinks she has cancer. Oh and could I translate these two sentences to English for him? He's not sure about the articles. Okay, so... Wtf just doesn't cut it anymore. I mean, it's his sister for Christ's sake! And one of the very few relatives I actually love. So, I have no fucking clue what to write back to him.Or if I should call/write to my aunt, but she wouldn't tell me anything. So, I guess I'll just wait 'till somebody bothers to inform me she died, because it works like that in this family. Fuck.

But, to make this post not so whiny and pathetic, I've decided you all need to see my new bag which I bought the last time we were in Prague, like 2 weeks ago maybe. So, follow the cut if you want to :)

Okay, so I came to school today, before 8am no less, just to realize the first 2 classes were canceled. So now I'm sitting here in a public comp room with two hours on my hands and reading fanfic. I could probably study or smt. but I'm too lazy for that.

So, about school. After the 2 weeks I've had I can say it's not too bad. Not great, but not terrible either. There are classes I like and some that I know will be a problem probably (like phonetics, ew). English is better than Spanish so far, but only because my English is much (and I mean much) better than my Spanish, for one, and also, half the Spanish classes are essentially Czech grammar and linguistics. Now I'm waiting for history of Spain, which is also in Czech. But I don't really mind, 'cause at least I can understand it lmao

Also, I've met some nice people, girls mainly, as there's like 98% of girls in my classes lol Well, I don't wonder really.

So, I'll cut it short, as I've only limited time on the comp. Over all, uni has been okay so far. Good, but nothing life changing.

I'll post something more soonish, I don't wanna neglect my poor LJ anymore lol

Okay, I know I've been a very bad LJer lately and I'm sorry :( I can't say I've been exactly busy, but there's been some stuff going on in RL. And I haven't been feeling too well either, but that's another story.

So, what's new. First, I'm going back to school on Monday, after 4 months of doing literally nothing! Apart from that, it's a university, so something totally new and different and... I kinda dunno what to expect. I have a timetable already (but it's a subject to change) so I know what classes I'll have and I can't say I'm really thrilled, but I guess I'll have to wait and see what it'll all be like. So, that's the end of the longest holidays in my life I guess. However, I must say, I've had a really great time during those 4 months (mostly) and I think I'm ready to go back to routine stereotype and exercising my brain again :)

Also, I failed my second attempt at the driving exam (surprise, surprise) so I'll have to try for the third time (and it might not be the last) at the end of September.

But, here it comes, the biggest news I have - I HAS A KITTY!!! =) Yes, really, no kidding, I have a cat! Long story short, my uncle persuaded us to take the last of their kittens (under the threat of just letting it go on its own somewhere if we didn't take it!). So it was a rather spur of the moment decision and here we are, with a little devil on our hands:) I have the bloody scratches to prove it! Really, she's cute and everything, but she can also be pretty wild and mean. But I guess that's a cat for you. Oh and not to forget - her name's Marla:) Yup, the Marla Singer from Fight Club:)

So, without further ado, I present you
Marla the cat :)  )
So, I guess that's all from me for now:) But how you've all been? :) Feel free to rant or whatnot here, I wanna get up to date with y'all!
