UoC + Gryffindor

Ooow, I haven't been here for a long, long time, haven't I?
I'm so... um... busy, yeah!
I'm not quite sure because you know... I'm not at all times so busy.
But, I'm so tired. 2 days ago I was asleep for 11 hours. And I guess that I would be able to continue if it wasn't for the noise in the building.
So...
My opinions...
My teachers are cool! Lots of them are young, so it's easier for them to understand our situation!
The lessons? Well, the first week went by quite well!
Today was a tough one, though...
The first lesson of Neurobiology was so easy. It was the introduction. But why, why, why does it have to do so much with chemistry?? We talked about water (H2O) and proteins and pH. Bleh!
But ok, I'll survive.
The tests or quizzes or whatever are another matter altogether, though...
And yep, first day of the second week and we already had to choose a subject for a project.
We just hope we won't have to use PowerPoint (which means that we don't want to present it in front of the whole class :p).
Go go John Locke! :D
Psychology and Philosophy! All about him :D
Hmm... Now that I think about it I have to find some partners for an English project, too. But, it's tough. 3 students?? Pff.. And this time we'll HAVE to present it in front of the class... :/
Hmm... About English?
We're gonna study the Terminology of Clinical Psychology!
How cool!
And where the heck is the Computer Laboratory?? I never found it! :p

June 19th

I was surfing to Facebook a little while ago and I happened to find a reference to William and Kate (The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) who got married some months ago. So, I found out through various links that another royal couple is getting married on June 19th.
This is also the date of the release of the next installment on the Bloodlines series, The Golden Lily!
(By the way, has anyone noticed that the blurb on Goodreads isn't exactly giving anything away about the plot? Hmmm....)

Anyway, back to the subject!
Can anyone inform me why everyone picks that date??
I don't even like the number 19 very much! Why don't make it whole? 20, for example!
I 'd love it not because it's a nice number, not because it contains the fine number 2, but also because June 20th is the date of my birthday!
Oh, come on! What would happen if everything happened then??
(Oooh, destiny wants that day to be only mine! Muahahaha! See? I have ways of making me happy again :D)

Any-anyway!
Look at those eyes! Aren't they marvellous? I'd never noticed before that they are like this!
It's actually very nice!

Bloodlines

 I wish to everyone to have a good month! :D

Meanwhile, on the 1st of October I started my university experiences with an exam :/
But it was an english one, which didn't require previous studying on my part.
I did study, on my own way, though.
I decided to restart reading some english-language books. (I had actually stopped reading any books at all, because of the last hard week and a half... Which of course continues. :) )
Anyway, my first option was the book I've been trying to complete for quite some time now (The Sorceress), but soon I couldn't really concentrate, so, after 2 chapters I switched to Bloodlines!

Oh gosh!
I thought I only loved Vampire Academy and Rose but Bloodlines was so good, too!
Sydney was quite a tough heroine, one I enjoyed reading about.
I even actually thought I can identify better with Bloodlines' main heroine and narrator.
Although I'd love to be like Rose and take action, fight for my life and the lives of those I love, respect etc etc, Sydney proved to be a little closer to my personality, or to what I'd like to be. She's tough in her own way. She's even scary without using any physical strength. She can use her brains, and although her means of revenge were quite... frightening, she meant well.
I had actually liked Sydney since we met her through Rose's stories. And, although I don't quite approve of all her superstitions, she's quite the character. And of course she's tough. Richelle Mead has said in one of her interviews that she wouldn't like writing about a weak hero.
Actually I believe that the two main girls of the Vampire Academy and their spin-off the Bloodlines series are quite different!
Well, I can say only one thing about the two narrators. Now I love both Rose and Sydney!

The fact is that my opinion is still a little weird about all the other characters. Ahem...
Adrian was never my favorite. And while he's still not, I can say that he's made considerable steps of progress.
Eddie, on the other side, has fallen in my eyes. I wanted him for myself, but well, if he wants someone else, so be it!
Jill... Well, that's a tough matter. I've never really liked her. In the first book of the Bloodlines series I even found myself feeling a deep hatred for her. I don't know exactly why. Probably because of her overall attitude. Somewhere towards the end, though, my opinion of her slightly changed. And I don't even know how that happened. Well, I just hope she'll stop talking badly about Rose, or I'm gonna get mad every time she does otherwise. Adrian will get over his broken heart eventually, I'm positive, so she doesn't have to be like that. Pff...

Generally, it was so good and refreshing to have back this amazing world. One full of Moroi, Dhampirs, Alchemists and even Strigoi. I just can't wait 'till the next book gets published. I just wish the publication would be one day later, so that it would come out at my birthday. But one can only hope. For another book, maybe, but  as long as we have the same world and characters, I'll be happy!

Timbaland - Apologize ft. OneRepublic

Ok, ok, I know I should absolutely go finish all the work I have to do, but I just couldn't not post this song. One of my faves too. How many times have I listened to it??
Uuu, uncountable. :D

So, enjoy...



Oh, and what I like very much is that Timbaland has made many songs with other artists. I just love that!

Go go Timba!

Uh-oh, I'm in the verge of posting more videos. :/

Cloudy yes! Colder nope!

The weather is supposed to get "worse" for these 3 days (today and the 2 next). Although, I peronally prefer it that way!
By the way, it's quite busy today for me. I have packing, emailing, editing, finishing-jobs to do. Pff..
And I also want to just stop and stare at the clouds.



This song was always one of fave. It's so moving and I just love it!

Anyway, I wonder if our trip will be easy or not. I have to not forget anything here, because I can get crazy if I don't have all my personal stuff with me. Also, will the weather be good? I won't mind if it starts raining, though.
I love rain.
And I'm rumbling... :O

The stress we've been talking about, huh??

Gosh, what am I doing in front of the pc?? :O

Uh-oh.

Emily Browning - Sweet Dreams

It's impossible, but I like every single cover I listen of Sweet Dreams.
I'm guessing Eurythmics' song has written history.

And, anyway, in case you didn't guess, yesterday I watched Sucker Punch. Well, although the movie wasn't anything extraordinary, I liked the songs. So, I'm looking them up today!

Oh, and by the way, I've found an excellent site for storing the movies I've watched or I want to watch. IMDb.com

(Different websites for anime/mangas, books and movies... Pfff :D)

Married, deceived, dead

Yesterday the new books I had ordered arrived and I'm ultra-happy, although I've decided to -force myself to- take a break from reading so many books for the time being (this summer I've been reading a book every couple days). So, altough among the books arrived are many that I can't wait to read, I decided to start that one, which cannot be read in the original way.


Being Elizabeth Bennet - Create your own Jane Austen Adventure is exactly what the title suggests. A "Create your own adventure" book. I just LOVE those kind of books, because I like interacting with the heroes like I'M the actual star.

I've always seeking books or stories with this particular style of writing. I've found many through internet, but it;s just so much better to actually have an interactive book like that.

The only disadvanatges were that in some points I couldn't quite focus to what I was reading, because I couldn't really understand everything. It was written in Jane Austen's language, as it's very natural, but to which I'm not very used. And in some points I got the impression that the author -through "my" unconsiousness, I guess- was a little too mean. :/ Last, but not least, I lost many presious INTELLIGENCE points, just because I didn't know some stuff from that particular era.

But anyway. The thing is, that I actually took the adventure an overall of 4 times. Everytime I got to an end, though I cheated. I didn't go from the beginning, because that would require too much of time of my part, I just chose the other selection. So! My results??

1. Got married because I couldn't take anymore the behaviour of that person, and then realized I had been deceived, so I died shortly afterwars because of my distress. Failed my misson.

2. Got murdured by a jealous rival who didn't want me to get married to the person she also wanted. Failed.

3. Got married to someone whom the author -supposedly my unconsiousness?- obviously didn't approve of. (She made it pretty clear, with all that "your average wedding" stuff. :/). Nonetheless, I achieved my mission.

4. Finally, after completing all 5 stages of the book, got married to the one everyone approved of, although once again got the impression that Emma Cmpbell Webster would give a totally different ending -but not The End- to Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. Achieved.

Τρίτη + 13

Συνήθως δεν μπορώ να πω ότι οι Τρίτες ή Παρασκευές και 13 είναι ιδιαίτερα γρουσούζικες μέρες. Ίσως επειδή αυτά είναι προλήψεις και προκαταλήψεις, βγαλμένες από τους ανθρώπους και μόνο. Τα νέα μου έπιπλα τα αγόρασα λοιπόν 2 μέρες πριν. :D

Όλες αυτές τις μέρες ακούω πρωινιάτικα τα παιδία που σχολάνε από τα σχολεία (έχει και κάμποσα η γειτονιά μου, οπότε θέλοντας και μη, με ξυπνάνε τα χαράματα -10 η ώρα- που σχολάνε... Είναι οι πρώτες μέρες ακόμα, γι'αυτό τόσο νωρίς :ρ). Τέσπα. Δεν είναι αυτό το θέμα μας, αλλά το ότι τέρμα το σχολειό για μένα. Χιχιχιχι < έβιλ γέλιο.

Οι εγγραφές στα Πανεπιστήμια έχουν ξεκινήσει εδώ και... 3 μέρες, και τα μαθήματα ξεκινούν 29 -στις σχολές που δε θα έχουν κατάληψη, δηλαδή-. Έχω βρει και το πρόγραμμα και τους καθηγητές και τα πάντα, σαν καλό πρωτάκι.

Τέσπα, επειδή ΠΑΛΙ ξέφυγα, ο κύριος λόγος που ξεκίνησα αυτή την ανάρτηση -μία από τις τελευταιες που γράφω στην Αθήνα- είναι ότι ήθελα να πω τον πόνο μου. Πάω λοιπόν σαν κυρία να αγοράσω τα έπιπλά μου και μετά τα αξεσουάρ, τα απαραίτητα για κάθε σπίτι, και διαπίστωσα ότι ακόμα και για τα πιάτα έπρεπε να κάνω αγώνα να προλάβω κάνα καλό χρώμα. Λιγότερο από μια βδομάδα πριν που είχα πάει για window-shopping ξανά στο ίδιο κατάστημα είχα δει πολλα μωβ και πράσινα. Και για μαντέψτε ποιο χρώμα προτιμάω από το background του blog... Μέσα πέσατε :ρ ΜΩΒ!

Πάω λοιπόν, καλή ώρα παρόλο που Τρίτη και 13, και έτρεχα σαν το μανιακό πέρα δώθε να βρω ίδιες ή παρόμοιες μωβ αποχρώσεις (μην το κάνουμε και τσίρκο το σπιτάκι :ρ). Τελικώς έκανα κάτι συνδυασμούς και τα κατάφερα.

Και για να περάσω και στην πολυαγαπημένη ψυχολογία για την οποία έκανα τόσο κόπο με το διάβασμα και, μετά τα αποτελέσματα, με το ψάξιμο για (το) σπίτι, το θέμα είναι ότι προφανώς στο ίδιο κατάστημα είχαν αποφασίσει να ψωνίσουν και πολλοί άλλοι φοιτητές. Εκτός του ότι το διαπίστωσα, ήταν ολοφάνερο και από την ξαφνική έλλειψη του μωβ. Το συγκεκριμένο είναι το χρώμα που συμβολίζει την παιδικότητα, την αθωώτητα ενός προσώπου που αρνείται να μεγαλώσει και παραμένει στην παιδική πραγματικότητα. Δηλαδή χαρακτηριστικά που, αναπόφευκτα χαρακτηρίζουν μεγάλη μάζα των φοιτητών, η οποία δεν έχει βγει ακόμα στο σκληρό χώρο της εργασίας και της επαγγελματικής απασχόλησης και η οποία δεν έχει φάει ακόμα τα χαστούκια που θα την επαναφέρουν στην -σκληρή- πραγματικότητα.

Την ερμηνεία φυσικά την έχω βρει καλύτερα διατυπωμένη, αλλά τώρα όλα τα βιβλία ψυχολογίας μου δε βρίσκονται κοντά μου, ενώ στο ίντερνετ μπορεί να το ψάξει όποιος ενδιαφέρεται για μια εμπεριστατωμενη άποψη επί του θέματος.

The Sims 3 Pets

I remembered my obsession with The Sims franchise while playing The Sims Social, the new EA game played on Facebook. So, deciding to go back to playing the games I've already installed, I realized that while I was busy all year long studying and didn't have any time to play -or do anything fun, for that matter- new expansion packs came out. An example is The Sims 3: Pets. Take a look for yourself.



Wow, you know, I can't wait for it to be published -or, whatever word we use for the games... Launched?? :D- so that I can enjoy having my own pets, once again! You know, I've been used to saying that one of the few disadvantages of The sims 3, when compaired to The Sims 2, is that it doesn't contain pets. But all that changes from now on! :)) Or, at least, from October 18th! :D
I'kll have cats, of course at the beginning. And then, hooorses! Wow ^^

Patch Cipriano - Run Devil Run

Hehe, I liked Patch (although from what i've read about the sequel to Hush Hush, I'll probably start disliking him... :D), and so I like this video of the tribute to him.

I like especially this image of him with the upside-down V on his back.
I liked the idea of it when I was reading the book, actually.

Anyway, the funny thing about this video is the fact that on the recommendations on its right side there are only mentiones of Crescendo, Silence, Becca Fitzpatrick, and none about Ke$sha and that -probably new, 'cause I've never heard it before- song of hers. HUH!

Crazy Frog - Last Christmas

Ahahaha!

And, OF COURSE, I wouldn't lose the chance to put a version of Last Christmas. Even with Crazy Frog. He doesn't make this song any less..... awww..... dreamy perfect than it is. Owww...

I can't stop listening to it -the original version, mainly-. Whatever month it is.
I-just-don't-care!
I LOOOVE Christmas! So, I celebrate them aaaall year long.



P.S. Do I have something for puuuulling -see? Like that :D- the syllabs today?? Or, more appropriately, tonight??

Merry Christmas! (A bit before Christmas :D A tiny bit, of course :DD)

Axel F

Wanna hear something that will probably surprise you?? (Or, I'm just waaaay too behind. And I haven't even entered in my third decade... Tsk tsk tsk... :p) Anyway, back to the point:

Crazy Frog has VEVO...... :O :D

Bwahahahahaaa! Ok ok, I guess animated artists are considered artists, but I just didn't know it. I would never even imagine it. O.O''



Don't get me wrong. I learned Axel F from Crazy Frog. Back when super duper modern mobile phones were considered the ones with these stupid ringtones. The ones I HATE. The ones that don't have lyrics, and make the sound sound like some sort of alien. But, you get my point. Probably in the years to come will talk badly about mp3s. Or, again, I'M just bugged by ringtones and their sound. :D



To be honest, just today I found out where they got the sound from. Harold Faltermeyer's Axel F in Beverly Hills Cop, huh? To be honest, I don't like the whole song. Just when that sort of beating sound starts. Tum tum tum-tum-tum tum tum... Or however you make it sound right, anyway. :p

I'm realizing I start liking more... instrumental-like songs... tunes... whatever.
I don't know why. I want them to make my hair stand -in a good way, though- and without lyrics, although that's not forbidding them entirely... I don't know if you get what I mean. I like some soundtracks TV channels use in their trailers for movies they want to advertise. But I never seem to find them... Pfff...

I REALLY need to get some connections on greek TV channels! :D

White Shorthair Cat

Well, I've always wanted a pet. At first a dog. But then I got obsessed with cats.
So, right now @ Facebook I have adopted Aura, a female White Shorthair Cat, who looks EXACTLY like showed on this video. But fo course, it's usual, since it's a game.

Let's hope I will have one day a cat like Aura. A real one, I mean. Preferably Black, though.
