I Was a Dreamer Before You Went and Let Me Down; Now It's Too Late for You  
This is a big world -- 44 Down/8 to Go[me]
[+] SO MUCH NEW MOON THIS WEEK -- it's crazy. I can't imagine modding a twilight-comm these next few weeks. Kudos goes to the amazing mods. Seriously. Vanity Fair + Harper's Bazaar = Fandom Heaven!!!

[+] SO MANY FIC UPDATES!!! The Training, Counterpoint, My Life To Be, Hydraulic Level 5 AND Emancipation Proclamation? YES PLEASE

[+] THANKS SO MUCH to [info]mizramanips for the VGIFT!!! Sweetest thing ever! Here's to more wholesomely awesome PMs!

[+] I am the last person to jump on this bandwagon but I finally succumbed to Taylor Swift's Fearless album and I LOVE IT. I'm such a teen girl. Bring me back to high school please!

[+] Also, I still have the Holiday Card Post just in case you still haven't checked it out! Great week for me, hope it was for you too!

Long weekends are love. Though I didn't do anything productive (no catching up on Vampire Diaries or watching Emma), I did read a ridiculous amount of fic AND was able to start my NTH re-read of New Moon. I wish weekends always had 3 days in them. I just feel better going into the work week with more rest. Having no manager at work (she was sick) is not a good way to start the work week. So many decisions to be made that I couldn't do by myself without approval from her and it was just a tiring day. So many people were still absent from work including crush. Too bad, I wanted to debut my new haircut. Not that it should matter. Fandom exploded with the release of those Harper's Bazaar Rob/Kristen photo shoot outtakes and it was positively excruciating to try and behave at work when all I wanted to do was go home and make a picspam. Still, I managed to make it through the day sans hyperventilation. Success. I opened my inbox to see a Counterpoint update. How awesome can this week be updates wise? I'm too lucky. But the funniest thing was watching Manny Pacquiao on Jimmy Kimmel live. Still the greatest boxer ever, but also the most hilarious in interviews. Too bad he wasn't trying to be funny.

I didnt think this day would come. Went to another presentation this time for a contraceptives company and while we introduced ourselves, we were all required to state our most recurring sexual fantasy. Seriously. Everyone was game so I had to play along. I feel so bonded to the people in that room now. I wish it ended as good as it started though. When I choose my girls (Lee, Iz and Hannah) over the New Moon press junket, you know I love them. I'm glad I went out with my high school friends even if we just had lunch and dessert at Eastwood. We are the most boring people ever but I have fun nevertheless. Every time I see them, I realize why we're still friends after all these years (I've known them since kinder). Ran my first real 3K race after years of not training/running or doing anything remotely physical. I woke up at 4am to go to Roxas Boulevard for the Pasig: A Run for the River with [info]jamypye and my mom (3 of the most unfit people on earth) and it was soooo worth it. I thought i wouldn't make it, but the 3K wasn't so bad after all! I wanna do it again!

ONE HOUR ON SKYPE WITH PB.
Don't worry, for your (and Pamy's) eyes only. I can't wait till you get home dude!

Nicole[info]explainingsound on November 8th, 2009 11:43 pm (UTC)
Ahhh I am simultaneously pleased and distressed that I left my NM copy at home. I did it on purpose because I knew I would be too busy to read it but OMFG I want it. lol
patty: new moon; edward » italy take it off[info]woodycakes on November 9th, 2009 01:23 am (UTC)
haha! at least you made a conscious decision to concentrate no?

David: glee: silliness[info]outofdoritos on November 9th, 2009 04:27 am (UTC)
Oh, Taylor Swift. I don't get her. Very talented writer and performer, but she's not a very good singer in my opinion. She seems like a really nice person - just not sure I understand her appeal haha.
patty: new moon; edward » italy take it off[info]woodycakes on November 9th, 2009 05:46 am (UTC)
I think it's more of the messages her song than the actual singing. the lyrics feel so real to teenage girls and hey i'm not a teenager anymore but it resonates with me so much. i feel like i'm back in high school except i'm working. it's silly but i can relate so thus my love for it.
pineappleluvs[info]pineappleluvs on November 9th, 2009 04:36 am (UTC)
LOL. to your taylor swift comment. my friends and i are all in our late 20's to early 30's and we've all had the same reaction to her album. we don't want to hear it at first cause it's too teen girl. but once we hear it, there's no turning it off. lol.

as for vanity fair/ harper's bazaar... LOVE IT!!! just what we need to get us through the month. 12 days to go. =)

and 3K... awesome! my brother and i went running across town today and i just about died. he wants us to do it again tmrw. i don't know if i'll make it.
patty: new moon; edward » italy take it off[info]woodycakes on November 9th, 2009 05:47 am (UTC)
You can make it! just keep training, i'm sure you're good!

and yes, tswift has the ability to make my inner teenager come out.
Elaine[info]its_elaine on November 9th, 2009 06:12 am (UTC)
LOL SEXUAL FANTASY! Sounds interesting XD

Also; congrats on the run! You are definitely fitter than I am haha.
patty: new moon; edward » italy take it off[info]woodycakes on November 9th, 2009 03:25 pm (UTC)
very uninteresting in reality haha.

thanks sooo much! no i'm not!!! :D you play hockey regularly. i do this once every 10 years :)
acid[info]sassy_semplang on November 9th, 2009 08:19 am (UTC)
Before anything else, I must say I love your daily self-portaits
"I wish weekends always had 3 days in them. "

Oh true. This would be lovely. We need more than two short days to purge all the tiredness and stress accumulated from Monday to Friday. :S

"the 3K wasn't so bad after all! I wanna do it again!"

How exciting!!! :D So proud of you!!! :D :D :D When are you planning to do this again?

-Jeannie :)
patty: new moon; edward » italy take it off[info]woodycakes on November 9th, 2009 03:25 pm (UTC)
Re: Before anything else, I must say I love your daily self-portaits
first off: thanks, you're too kind seriously ♥

i propose ONE long weekend every month. what's twelve more days of weekend in the grand scheme of things?!? i think the business community can do with 12 days less. haha or that's just me :D

thanks! i'm surprisingly still alive the day after and not aching too much. :D i'm happy about that more than the actual surviving the race. i'd love to run again, but i'll stick to the 3ks first :D do you know any ones coming up? haha.
danielle: pd; wake pies and bake the dead[info]honeydewdrops on November 9th, 2009 01:31 pm (UTC)
lmfao SEXUAL FANTASY? haha that is so awesome for an introduction!

yay for your 3k run! i always feel like dying after running for so long but afterwards i always feel like running again too :)
patty: new moon; edward » italy take it off[info]woodycakes on November 9th, 2009 03:18 pm (UTC)
yes, totally totally uncomfortable but now in hindsight, hilarious :D

haha, i'm totally unfit as well and am just happy i survived it :)

and and and... your icon is love!! ♥ i miss the piemaker
I can do anything that's everything all on my own: movie / twilight; first bite[info]echoism on November 9th, 2009 05:19 pm (UTC)
Oooh, just 2 more week till the release here. I can't wait, seriously. I've turned 25 this saturday and I'm excited like a 12 year old who's going to the cinema for the first time.
patty: new moon; edward » italy take it off[info]woodycakes on November 11th, 2009 01:34 am (UTC)
