... Arc en Ciel...

Wow, it's a crazy thing to do to pass time , but I'm crazy for it too!
My egg:



Some news from my RL:

My aunt (not really... my mother cousin second grade or something like that!) from San Francisco will be soon at my house, October the 5th. I'm so excited! I will be able to practice my English! In this months I was unwell, but now my life slowly seem to return at the origin. I hope so... really! I'm so tired to be tired and stay in my bed... sometimes all the time of the day! :(

What Erika Means

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

Merry Christmas!
For you and your dears I wish all the good in the world!
A great hug and a kiss!

Sorry for being invisible these past weeks but I had a flu and I didn't stay much time on my lovely pc... but anyway I read the great news: my wonderful Team Romance won again the Gold Medal of snarry_games 2007 and I was so happy! Every bit of art was great in Team Romance and Angst too, I like very much some of those!



Then my English course go very well and I'm grate to my teacher because sometimes my class is really like a jungle full of monkeys... you can read 'my pals are like a monkeys' 'cause I'm my teacher pet... in a good way, lol! Don't think immediately bad... I always do my homeworks, I pay attention in class and I answer well at her questions... I'm a swot... one of her new words for this week!
Ok, I'm tired so I'm going to see a film... Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki, I think.


Stolen from torino10154.

I prepared my suitcase, my train-ticket was in my bag with my English book and a Cathy's Book by Stewart / Weisman too (very interesting until now). I'm so happy! Tomorrow I'll go to my friend's house in Milan! I missed salome_fw very much! I'll stay at her home for three days... so have a nice long weekend to me!
I won't read my journal and emails, it's a holiday for me and I really want to slow down my life for some days. When I will be again at my home I promised myself to finish my entry for santas_lap fest... it's almost completed but I have to check again something, then I cross my fingers that my English beta (I'm sorry rakina for being so slow) find it acceptable at least.
Goodnight and see you when I will be in Rome again!

Salviamo Internet.
No alle Tasse e alla Legge Levi-Prodi.



I really hate Italian politicians!
Now they want to shut up who write in Internet: blog, journal, nonprofit sites, etc...
The Levi-Prodi law will make pay a tax to everyone who wants to write in Internet and every piece of writing will must have the approval from the advisory body.
When do they think to make a law to tax our thoughts?
I signed the petition against this law and I hope our voice make the Italian politicians learn Italian people aren't puppets!

Only 10 wishes. I choose only thing/thoughts/novel or sketch fandom related that can be turned real.

1) More and more sexy, happy, romantic, troublesome, UST rich slash novel and sketch of my favorite fandom! No betrayals, no cheatings, no hate, no blood and no death.
2) A fabulous Snarry dedicated to me: very hot and explicit, some languages and some kinks (voyeurism, dominant!possessive!top!Snape), Romance&AU even Non-Magical.
3) A fabulous Snarry dedicated to me: a seduction story with vampire!top!jealous!Snape and provocative!teasing!Harry.
4) Some good news from Square Enix about Final Fantasy XIII Versus (and Storm, the beautiful guy with silver hair) and Kingdom Hearts III
5) A fabulous Sephiroth/Cloud dedicated to me: hot, UST, deliciously perv but almost peacefully (at the end!). Top!Sephiroth.
6) To be able to write/speak better English after 3 months of school.
7) A new, powerful PS3 (obviously I hope to buy it myself, don't worry!).
8) To be able to write my first long Snarry story.
9) To find the courage to speak casually with Luce the 23th December at his concert.
10) To write the word 'The End' about my original italian novel 'Immagine Riflessa'.

I love it! Thanks to torino10154, I stole that from her!
It feels like oriental poetry and cherry blossom and wind of sea and I love it. I'm a nippon-maniac, ya' know? lol I miss Tokyo, I would love to return there... sigh, maybe next here I will go again!

I chose to reply to cluegirl's challenge: You have a prophetic dream that in twenty four hours, every single HP fanfic ever written will cease to exist, all at once. As part of this dream, you are informed that you may save precisely ten of them. Ten only, not one more, and if you don't pick ten within the time limit, you'll be able to save none at all.

01. If you are Prepared by Cybele
02. The Boy Who Lived A Bit & Care of Magical Teenagers by Barbarella
03. Dance Partners by dementordelta
04. The Paradox of Existence by ze_dragon aka Dragon Light
05. Cambiare Podentes: Invocare & Cambiare Podentes: Madurare by jordangrant
06. The Semblance of Peace by Maeglin Yedi
07. The Istfy's Curse by ptyx
08. The Care Of Infants by stellahobbit
09. The Bartender by sacrilege
10. Commonplace Magic by sinick and ac1d6urn

It was so hard choosing only ten fictions and I ordered them randomly in my list and sticked together stories & sequel. I simply love these stories but I would be so sad if my prophetic dream comes true... there are so many stories and writers I would hate to lose! Two fictions I must absolutely write down here
before I could see that erased thank that blasted dream:

11. To Have and to Hold by Monatana Dan
12. Esse Quam Videri (To Be Rather Than to Seem) by torino10154

Finally I started my English course after so many thought and I really like it very much. I'm in pre-intermediate-3 class and today we broke the ice. My teacher's name is Rosie and I simply adore her. She is from London and had a great theatrical way and I learn so much enjoying my first lesson. Now I fervently desire to return in my class and to learn more. We are only 5 people for now and I'm very happy to know them... almost all of them 'cause I don't like one of the boys: he is very clumsy and pestering, he speaks in Italian very much and talks about himself during Rosie's explanations. I think the next time I don't take a seat near him. In another class beyond the glass door there was another teacher I would like to know: he is very cool and has a great fascinated smile and he directs that to me from his class... great I have a crush!
I don't feel well tonight. Gosh, I hope to not have a fever.

I'm a little disappointed 'cause Writer is 19th, but at the same time I love seeing some of my ideal works in the top ten!
It's really funny to know more of oneself!

Yes, I know... I was mad.
ABSOLUTELY. COMPLETELY. MAD.
I sign for santas_lap and it was very hard to choose a single prompt, they all were delectable.
Finally I opted for this:

#85 Someone helps a lonely student feel a little less lonely at the holidays. Bonus for mistletoe and semi-public sex.

In the end it wasn't choosing the real problem: it's me! Am I truly confident to write something more than a drabble in english? Is my English really that good? Gosh, I don't think that! Ok, I write long fictions in Italian, I even have my little group of supporters 'cause Italian is my native language, very poetic and dramatic, and I use it by natural instinct. But English is another thing!
So please, this is an important appeal.

In this great and wide world is there a kind person, English native, willing to check my story when will be concluded? I found a beta. Thank you very much rakina.

A couple of things before starting:

- Santa's lap is a chan slash fest so if you don't like that, please don't run for this work
- before sending the story to you, my best-friends graduated in language will monitor it with aim to avoid you at least my silly mistakes
- fest submission posting period is from November 30th to December 25th

If you think to be able do it, please let me know it. Thanks.

I love my wand! * evil grin *
I am briskly working to my sketch for the Snarry Art Game 2007 competition despite an unbelievable toothache that has caught me by surprise tonight. As usual these things happen of Saturday and my dentist there is not here... damn! I have almost ended my brief Snarry, I have to pass it for a revision to my best-friend and later I will see whether to publish it.
Mondays end my vacations and I will return to the job, in my office. 
I have finally called the school of English, the British Center nothing less, it was one year that I wanted to do it, and I have taken appointment next Saturday to make the level test and to talk to the teachers. Reading in English absolutely isn't a problem, writing can sometimes become it but above all speaking is the great rock-cliff to overcome. * pout pout *

Yes, I will be soon in bed, then I wake up and go to the airport and finally I will be in Prague!
I will stay there 5 days so I'm not be in touch but I will return soon and immediately start to create my little piece for snarry_games (I'm not sure yet what I chose to do but I have some ideas!).
I hope to enjoy this travel with my cousin and my best-friend.
Goodbye, see you all soon!

I am still vaguely confused by the wonderful relocation of writers, communities and friends from the LiveJournal but I have finally chosen and without regrets.
My official journal is InsaneJournal. If you are reading this post you know where I'm, (lol thanks to mac_tunes for the advice!).
I am still trying to put order among the friend list to know who is on IJ, who is on LJ and who is on GJ but I imagine that sooner or later I will succeed in coming to head of the skein. 

I am thinking about writing a brief Snarry fiction in English. I acknowledge not to be a lot of confidante of my English, but I hope that my best friend graduated in languages can help me to oversee and correct the story before the publication (cross fingers). 
I also think to repost my 3 drabbles and my fanarts, for the one who reads/sees them I apologize but for the new friends it will be a way to know me better. 
And this is all folks.

I am slightly drunk (slightly? Maybe if I wonder I am not too much drunk) and I am happy... if it is for the alcohol or the company of 2 special friends I indeed am happy to have gone out tonight. I love all the world tonight. lol

Sometimes I get the feeling my work is a punishment... insufficient and incomplete information, too much things to do simultaneously, short time because the expirations are urgent, a pc of 1995 and is August... damn, why aren't you all, my dear users, in vacation?

Something is going crazy in the journal world so I open an account here too to stay in touch with all of my friends, favourite writers and communities... but I wonder if I can really take track of everything without split myself...
However I think that IJ is great, I like very much this pink theme!
Time to go home now and tomorrow will be my birthday.
Well, goodbye!
