New Job, Geography and 3D Jensen
A longer than average post, but I haven’t posted in days so catching up :)
Started my new job yesterday, which seemed to be going well. Until Geography was brought into the equation.
Now I am fairly intelligent, I am an Excel whiz, can bend most computer programmes, backwards around my little finger, I am hard working, organised and dedicated, and I'm really good at English and Maths, but Geography!!!!
Geography is my nemesis, it was the blight of my school years, it followed me around like a really mean kid, laughing at me, every time I tried to figure out what the capital of (I don’t know) Spain is for example, and in all seriousness, I don’t know, seriously, I could not name one capital city, except London and Edinburgh.
I am the Bridget Jones of geography, ask me what country sits next to Germany, then laugh as I go red and stutter something about Switzerland.
Now this has never been a problem, because as I never became an explorer or a map maker, I never had much need for geography, so most people never find out about the fact that I am a total dunce whenever it comes to geography (except my husband who can still be counted on to laugh for close to an hour every time he is reminded of the fact that I once asked him which US states are in South America, and which are in North America) Yes I really did !!!!
So why has geography become an issue!!!! because the company I have went to work for is a ship management company, who manage ships worldwide, they want me to learn things like how to price the management of a bulk carrier, sailing with a west indies crew and leaving from port who knows where and travelling mainly through the pacific ocean. Now whilst they were very patient and gave me extremely understanding smiles every time I asked a shipping question methinks their patience might run out if I ask where specifically the pacific is again – No I am really not kidding, I suck, I have a mental block the size of the pacific when it comes to geography (ETA – I now know this much about the pacific http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ocean ) I really need to invest in a good map.
On the up side, job is very interesting, learning lots of new things, my office is gorg, with a wonderful view of Glasgow and the hills from my floor to ceiling window (Yay, seriously, one wall of my office is window!!!!!) the people are lovely and so far things are going great.
Now onto My Bloody Valentine (under LJ cut as I don’t want to spoil anyone, although there is nothing spoilery about the actual film in my post thought it better to be safe than sorry)
A prize of your asking for anyone who can tell me how many times I mentioned geography and 3D Jensen in this post J
Ok first thought, 3D Jensen!!!!!!! 20ft tall 3D Jensen!!!! The guy who came up with this idea is a freaking genius!!! And rather than the large size detracting from the pretty, it actually made him more gorgeous, there is a scene where he crouches on a hill and seriously, it’s almost like you can reach out and touch him (not that I tried it or anything!!!)
Second thought, he was just SO Dean like in this film, now I don’t know if that is because Dean is permeated into my subconscious now, as I saw JA in both Smallville and DA and have watched them since and see very little Dean in him, but in this, it was like fanfic, Dean on a hunt without Sam or the Impala
Third thought – Too Much Gore!!!!!!!, yes I know it’s a horror but 3D gore is just Bleughh I know, I know I went to see it, knowing it was 3D and knowing it was a horror and knowing it was going to be gory, but seriously, those with weak stomachs!! Avoid this film it is really, really gory
Final thought, I wanted to love this film. I really did, when I become obsessed with something I want everything about it/them to be outstanding and I am definitely obsessed with JA, but the film, well thank god it has 3D Jensen , thank god Jensen is in it period, because overall, it was pretty average, average script, average actors, more than average gore. Would I see it again though??? Of course, it has 3D Jensen.

You have a window? Like a real window? *is jealous* All I have is a crayon window that my kids drew me so I could pretend to look outside. No, seriously.
Okay now the South America thing? Come on. Everyone knows that's where you go to get the best tequila. And there's a border patrol and razor wire, so it helps you remember that you're leaving the States.
Mmmmm....3D Jensen and gore. My favoritest combination. I won't be seeing it this weekend. As it turns out we're going to get together with some couples and plan the Vegas trip for November. *pokes you* Come on....you don't have to even know geography to get there. You buy a plane ticket and they take care of all the geography for you.
But maybe next weekend I will have 3D Jensen and gore.

South America thing true story I'm afraid, I also once asked why India and Pakistan were fighting over wool (Kashmir/Cashmere) but in my defence, that day I was very, very, very tired. I really have to stop admitting things like this.
Oooo Vegas, sounds fun
no subject
Vegas IS fun. You should come. Plus I've been there tons and I know all of the geography and can show you around :D
no subject
That actually sounds fun, we're looking to book a holiday this year and I would LOVe to go to Vegas, I'll have a look at flight and hotel prices, plus would help if I was there with someone who knew geography, wouldn't want to end up in Ohio instead of Vegas :)

Lol, for me it's IT and art that stumps me. I don't understand the inner workings of a PC, so long as it works, that's fine with me! As for art, even my stick people seem to come out wonky!
But Geography? Geography was totally my bitch in high school =D
Due to epic coursework FAIL in my GCSE's, the only way for me to acheive an A grade overall in Geography was if I aced my written exams with 100%. I didn't even revise for them but I got my A!!!
MBV doesn't come out in Aus until next month, but I seem to have it on good authority from absolutely everyone I know who's already seen it that GIANT 3D JENSEN ACKLES is totally worth it. Yes, I'm going to watch a movie because I want to see this gorgeous man in giant 3D. That is my only reason, I am that shallow! =DDD

Can we steal their shirts and chain them up???=DYou can't have half of each! I'll take Misha you can have Jensen. Or the other way round. Don't ask me to decide, I can't do it either!!!! Oh boys why must you be so awesome and pretty?!
no subject
keep us entertainedmake Kripke crack, why do you think I chose to kidnap them with you, the evil mistress of Misha torture and pain.They are too awsome and pretty, we'll take turnabout days and when we are done they can comfort each other :P
Need some more Castiel hurt/comfort fic now :)
no subject
entertainmentmaking Kripke cave to our demands!!!I like this compromise!
*needs to write moar fic* I've been a tad pre-occupied lately D=
no subject
ok, so we have agreed to shirtless and / or tortured.
methinks I may be becoming a tad Dean/Castiel obsessed :D
no subject
But whenever I feel too stressed I take a moment to picture shirtless and tortured Castiel or Dean, and suddenly everything is shinier!
I've got one fic still on the go, my Dean/Castiel anonymous fic exchange piece, but I'm pushing dangerously close to the submission deadline. At least I know what I want to write, now it's just a question of finding the time to write it!
no subject
Even better shirtless tortured Dean AND Castiel, double the yumminess, twice the stress reliever :D
How's the uni plans going?

no subject
I'm saving Dean AND Castiel for when things get really crazy, when I'm trying to organise the actual moving part of moving out.
But it's going pretty well so far, I'm choosing my courses at the moment and arranging to view some houses for potential accommodation. I've got to get my student id card and open my online account, but so long as I get accommodation sometime in the next three weeks it should all be fine.
