I blame it on poe_lee and her gorgeous mosaic--I just had to do it afterwards!

Here are the guidelines...
a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Pick an image.
c. Copy each image URL into Mosaic Maker. Change rows to 3 and columns to 3.
d. Save the image and post it.

I had to get a little creative with my answer to #1, so it's an abbreviation of my legit name. As for the rest, care to guess what my answers are?

The Questions:
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favourite colour?
3. What is your favourite food?
4. Favourite drink?
5. Dream vacation?
6. Favourite hobby?
7. What you want to be when you grow up?
8. What do you love most in life?
9. Best self-description?

Comment to this post and receive 4 options (actors/singers/characters, so on, so forth). You must then decide which of the 4 options you would: shag, snog, marry or throw off a cliff.

She gave me Jonathan Toews (!!!), Tomáš Kopecký, Adam Burish, and Brian Campbell.

I would shag Adam Burish like there's no tomorrow. No, seriously.

I'd kiss Kopecký because he's adorable.

I WOULD OBVIOUSLY MARRY TOEWS BECAUSE, HELLO, I MET HIM THIS PAST WEEKEND AND HE'S SUCH A SWEETHEART I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO STOP GUSHING EVER SINCE.

And, as much as I like Soupy, he's my remaining choice so he's gonna have to take a trip down the cliff. :(

Comment for your own four choices (or to make fun of mine!).

I've been gone forever, I know.

My life has been taken over by school and hockey, and that's really all I have to say.

Well, except for one thing.

GO WATCH THIS VIDEO and keep it going so we can keep Kraft's donations rolling in!

(Bonus: my lovely aunt is in it.)

I AM NOW IN LOVE WITH HOCKEY. HOW IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO DISCOVER THIS GAME, I DO NOT KNOW, BUT I AM IN. MOTHERFING. LOVE.

Case in point: I went to the first pre-season game for the Blackhawks, was so excited, thought I'd go to another one at some point. Within a week I was spending money I don't have on a ticket to go see them again. BECAUSE I AM NOT JUST IN LOVE WITH HOCKEY, I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS TEAM.

And I totally cried when I heard Adam Burish was injured (ACL tear) and cheered when we got wind that his surgery had gone well. Someone please explain how I fell in love with this team SO fast.

Also, please to be looking at my icon--third-youngest captain in the NHL, and total love of my life.

'Cause clearly I needed another obsession.

P.S. CONFIRMED: HOLLY IS COMING TO SEE ME IN SIX. DAYS.

It's been forever, I know.

So, things that have happened while I didn't update:

1- Reformatted hard drive.
2- Reformatted it again.
3- Had hard drive replaced.
4- Reformatted that one.
5- Installed drivers.
6- Still have computer issues.

Oh, right, and I've also been drowning in homework and thus trying to organize myself.

How have y'all been?

So I'm moving back into the dorm today, and my computer is exhaling its last breaths so I'm also backing up all of my info while I clean... my aim is to reformat it ASAP so it'll work with my school network 'cause it's messed up right now and won't. D:

In the meantime, I am bored out of my mind, so here's the first 10 songs that pop up on my shuffle:

1- Don't Forget by Demi Lovato
2- The Angels Hung Around by Rilo Kiley
3- Sometimes by Britney Spears
4- The Howling by Within Temptation
5- Así es la Vida by Ricky Martin
6- Eres Libre by Ednita Nazario
7- Waiting on the World to Change by John Mayer
8- Salimos de aquí by Fiel a la Vega
9- Gentlemen Don't by Gabe Bondoc
10- The District Sleeps Alone Tonight by The Postal Service

I think my poor iPod has played too much David Cook, Axium, and MWK to bring it up voluntarily anymore, hahaha.

HI, I AM HAVING AN AWESOME NIGHT, OKAY.

HERE, HAVE SOME OF MY REASONS TO FLAIL:

1- The current Becca!project went fabulously, and things will be mailed out tomorrow if all goes well.

2- ADAM. MITCHEL. LAMBERT, OKAY. Becca (fallenangels607) called me and I got to hear him do "Starlight" and "Mad World," and was reduced to tears by the awesome.

3- I am finally finishing up some of the epic pieces that have been near a state of completion. YAY FOR POSTING SOON.

4- A phone call from the epic rajkumari905, with amazing Nashville-related news. I AM SO JEALOUS AND ALSO SO HAPPY.

5- THIS VIDEO, which requires no explanation.

6- I've gotten to answer comments from some of my favorite people today, clionona and gcaedmon included. ♥

And, finally,

7- RYAN STAR JUST TWEETED AT ME. ABOUT PAULO COELHO. THIS IS MY HAPPY FACE, GUYS.

Hi, my life, it is made.

P.S. One not-so-awesome thing to keep things in perspective: PATRICK KANE IS A DOUCHE. He and his cousin beat up this poor old cab driver for, I KID YOU NOT, 20 fucking cents. W.T.F.

Late to the party, but I wanted to. Took the dating idea from the ridic awesome gcaedmon, whom I adore. ♥

1- I've dated more than 3 guys.
2- My first kiss' name was David.
3- I've already been engaged.

Haha, these are lame, but I couldn't come up with much else.

Okay, just dropping by to check in because I know I've been gone forever and have a ton of comments to reply to, sorry. So, quick recap by the way of random statements:

-NYC WAS AMAZING BECAUSE MY PEOPLE ARE AMAZING. South Jersey was probably my favorite part, and I would like to marry a Wawa.

-Saw David Cook at the Delaware State Fair and even though we were mega far back it was RIDICULOUS. Just, ridic. Probably one of the best times I've ever had, even if it was a sadly Joey-less show, and it was even greater because I had my friends with me. He sang We're Only Honest When We're Sleeping and Straight Ahead, which were both real treats--so I'm not sad that he didn't do Breathe Tonight like he had the other two times I'd seen him. And as for Silver--the mission continues because I still have ONE MORE SHOW this year.

-Have been trying to write, but it's been pretty difficult what with work and trying to pack and prepare because I'm moving again on the 15th and I'm just not looking forward to moving all of my stuff back into a dorm. Le sigh.

I've missed everybody, so please to be letting me know what's been up while I've been hiding away!

Much love,
♥L.

IN TWELVE MORE HOURS I WILL BE ON MY WAY TO THE AIRPORT SO I CAN GO TO NYC. AAAAND I'M GETTING THE NEXT TWO DAYS OFF, BUT GETTING PAID FOR THEM!!

OH. MY. FUCK, GUYS. I CANNOT PROCESS THIS MUCH AWESOME. *FLAILS*

THAT IS ALL.

I can't even contain my joy right now, guys. I just... I can't.

As previously stated, I was having the crappiest day ever today. And then I got an email from Loyola saying that they'd revised my financial aid.

I went to my student center and checked my revised award--to find out that Jesus, Loyola, and Obama have given me enough financial aid to come back to school in the fall.

AND I WILL BE IN NYC ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON, OMGGGG.

TOO MUCH AWESOME, GUYS. MY BRAIN IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE.

TO CELEBRATE, HAVE A MEME:

PICK A WORD FOR EACH CATEGORY AND MAKE IT YOUR TAG/SIGNATURE/STATUS MESSAGE, SEPARATED BY SLASHES.

1-How you're feeling right now described by an object/color/thing.
2-Something that makes you happy in the form of an object/color/thing.
3-Something that makes you feel confident in yourself in the form of an object/color/thing.
4-Something that has a place in your heart in the for of an object/color/thing.
5-Something that's frustrating you in the form of an object/color/thing.

When I first did this, mine was: clouds / books / heart / green / distance. Now it's: stars / words / determination / GOD / time

Show me yours?

So I'm going to rant here before I try to articulate properly at my blogspot--my apologies in advance.

( Cut for angry, angry, ranting. )

That is all.

Yes, you are seeing right; there has been another name change.

Long story short, as much as I liked the thought of my previous one, I actually detested it, and typing it into the log-on box was a painful process. So I have gone ahead and changed it and I swear, I'm keeping it this time!

But yeah, just a heads-up.

♥

Since I've taken out a plethora of personal information, it has come to my attention that maybe the people who drop by won't know me very well. So I've decided I will refrain from posting memes in my other journal and do them here instead.

So, here's one... idk whom I stole it from, though.

01) Are you currently in a serious relationship? No.
02) What was your dream growing up? To write... I'm holding on to it.

11) What is your favorite sport? Soccer and tennis are tied.
12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude? "For a pessimist I'm pretty optimistic."
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Ask you to entertain me so I don't freak out.

15) Tell me one weird fact about you. I am allegic to all insects, ants included. *shrugs*
16) Do you have any pets? Never have!

34) Favorite and least favorite food? I love most Italian foods and dislike most vegetables.
35) Do you believe in God? Absolutely.
36) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you? I have! And if you're the person I took this from PLEASE tell me so I can fix it, hahaha.

Okay, if I had any doubts about staying, the love and support I've received since my previous entry would definitely ease those doubts. Even more, they have been absolutely eradicated by the sheer awesomosity that embraced me upon entering my favorite community. We are not only alive and kicking, we are motherfucking rad.

I love every single one of you, omg. ♥

P.S. I didn't mention this before because I fail at fact-giving, but I have a Blogspot and a Twitter under my old LJ name (and if it appears anywhere around this journal I will screen it because I'm trying to not connect my fandom persona to my real name for legal purposes of trying to get published because I'm crazy), so you can go ahead and stalk keep up with me over there, too.

♥L.

Hi friends!

You're probably wondering several things right now:

1- Why are all my entries gone?
2- Why do I have a different name now?
3- Why is this post even up?

So I want you to know that it's still me here, but I've decided to distance myself from fandom and from this journal in general. Some unsavory situations have occurred recently, and I just need some time and space. I have given too much of myself and there have been situations where it was not reciprocated, and I have decided to remove my personal information and give myself some time to heal.

This journal will remain active for fandom, as I absolutely love my communities and I do not wish to leave permanently. However, I don't know whether I will be writing much more fanfiction anymore, and most of it will come off my writing LJ soon.

Blessings and love,
♥L.
