Under A Wandering Star

Writing

2015-05-23T09:38:11Z

I haven't written anything substantial in forever. I've only written a few drabbles in the last months (fewer than I should've). But today I got it into my head to read a story I wrote years ago, and before long, I had read through most of the stories posted on my FF account. And you know what? Although I now see a lot more spelling mistakes than I thought I would, I'm actually a pretty good writer. Some of my stories are *good* and it hurts sometimes that they don't get recognised. I don't write for the reviews or likes or anything like that, but it would be nice to know if people are actually reading my words at all and at the very least, appreciates the effort I have put into the story.

Travelling the World

2013-12-29T02:32:46Z

I'm not, obviously (no money!!) but I would love it. I think everyone wants to, at least at one point in their lives. Even if it's just a fleeting dream, a general sense of "seeing what's out there", but no idea what beyond maybe one or two places.

I've been feeling the travelling bug for a while now. I always do when there's a major change in my life - the major change now was the end of my two month assignment. I think there's also a touch of my new life choice - to become a teacher - and being impatient for it to start (the earliest I can start is next fall).

So I made the mistake of reading a bunch of travel blogs. But not just travel blogs, oh no, that would be too easy; I've made the mistake of reading blog posts by people who travel the world permanently. Who work "on the road" and go where they please.

I kind of hate them, I have to say, but only because I'm jealous. I wish I had the guts to try it.

But as it is now, now that I've made the life altering choice of becoming a teacher and finally feeling as if I have a purpose to work towards, it's not exactly the right time to decide to try and travel around the world on no money and work as you go.

That said, I hope that I will be able to travel during breaks, even if I have to work on location when I do. It would be nice.

Hazzah!

My main concern about going to school to become a qualified teacher (years 0-3) was the amount of time it would take me. I got it into my head that it was 5 and a half years. But it's actually 4 years. And although that is certainly still a long time, and certainly would have caused me some anxiety if it was the only time I'd heard, now that I know it's 4 years instead of 5+, it feels as if I've "won" a year of my life back, and it makes it that much easier to accept the 4 years.

Of course, to make it work, I have to have a job that allows for very flexible hours (which I currently do, if I actually accept new assignments) where I can make sure that I don't work over the "free limit" that would otherwise diminish my student aid. It's a tricky situation, made worse by the fact that I have no idea if I get in (I hope so!). But I like to plan ahead, so...

Other than that, I worked my last day at the school with "my kids" yesterday, alongside their teacher. It was kind of weird, but good to meet her and have a chance to say goodbye to the kids properly. You can tell that they are so used to having me there that they turn to me to ask things instead of her, but I'm sure they will soon get used to it again and forget I was even there!

Hopefully I will be able to return in January to work in another class (I worked in 2A, and it's 2B that might need me - I've had them in two different subjects over the two months I spent at the school) for a few weeks before their new teacher is available.

Things are sort of looking up, actually. It's weird to find the drive and realise what you want to do with your life. I've always wondered about it in other people, but now I get it. I get it much more beyond the dream of publishing, or a desire to have a job where you're not working even on your off hours. But even though I kind of did now, at least mentally, it is still something that I want to do. I was tired as all hell, but I enjoyed it so much and I didn't feel tired when I at working.

Now That I Have Something To Update

2013-11-22T16:51:19Z

So. Ok, my last post was just after I returned from Edinburgh (such a fun weekend!) and just before I started working as a substitute teacher. I started off in one school, where I worked for two days with multiple classes (of kids from fourth to ninth grade) in a "speciality class" (sewing). I liked it just fine, but I realised I hated working with teenagers (one girl called me a "fucking whore" for giving her a piece of paper) so I contacted the place I work for and asked to just work with pre-school and up towards third grade.

The next week I worked with a third grade, but only for one day - the rest of that week I didn't work at all, as I was doing other things. This job was only supposed to be extra while I looked for work - and great too, since I'd be able to just "not be available" for a particular day if I had an interview (or I didn't want to work) -- unless I was already booked for an assignment on that day (but usually you get the assignments in the morning).

Well, that Friday - the week after I started working there, I got a call from them about working all the following week (week 40) as a second grade teacher. I jumped at the chance, and I'm so glad I did. Now, 7 weeks later, I'm still there. I love it a lot; the kids (I've got 16 kids, which is at least 5 less than most classes have in other schools), the other teachers and the school itself (the food is made in the school, they often have *two* vegetarian options!). The teacher that I'm substituting for injured her back quite badly, and was waiting for her surgery (so we never knew how long I would be there for).

Well, she had her surgery on Tuesday, and hopes to be back on the 9th (of December, obviously). Most of the people at the school doubt she will be able to, as she's been unable to do anything so she will need rehab, but she's hopeful.

Anyway, where I was going with all of this was this; I love it a lot. A lot more than I thought that I would (as much as I do know I love working with kids). So much in fact that I'm going to apply to University and become a teacher (for 1-3 graders). If I'm lucky, I will get in (next fall). Then it's 5 and a half years until I'm a qualified teacher, but yeah.

I do have one class I need to take (Math, ugh) and I have to do an entry exam, but after that I have a few options on schools that I can apply to, and hopefully move in a new direction with my life.

I'm unsure of how long I will continue to work as a substitute teacher - I think that once this particular assignment is done, I will take a break and apply to jobs in the reception/hotel field, while I wait to take the class. The positive thing about working as a substitute would be that I could study at the same time easier than if I had a "9-to-5" job, but that would earn me more money (plus save me the hassle of working in different schools with different people every day).

But yes, that's it for me at the moment!

Fantastic Weekend!

2013-09-17T13:48:50Z

I went to Edinburgh last Wednesday, as I was going to the Harry Potter Meetup through the hp_uk_meetup on Saturday (at Riddle's Court!). It was a fantastic meetup, and I made a lot of new friends. Hopefully that will inspire me to be a bit more active on LJ, as I want to stay in touch with them.

I didn't take many photos - in fact, during my 5+ days in Edinburgh, a city I love, I took maybe 7 photos - the majority of them inside the bathroom of the Elephant House, of the Dumbledore's Army wall(s).

I had a fantastic time though and I can't wait for the next meetup.

It was a small gathering (I believe we were 19 people in total) but that just made it all the better, as it allowed you to talk to people. We also had some food-meetups both before the dinner and the following day, that people could join if they wanted to.

It was a great weekend.

And one thing that I found incredibly funny; a small gathering, in another city, in another country - 3 out of 19 people were from Sweden (and I miss you guys!). :P

I feel as though I should update

2013-08-10T18:03:21Z

But quite honestly, I'm not sure what to say. I want to be more involved again, but yeah, anyway.

No job yet; it's getting me a bit down to be honest, but I'm not desperate yet. I'm considering going back to school to further my education, but I've missed the deadline and I'm not sure exactly which hoops I have to jump through, not to mention if I do get a job I would only want to take a few choice classes (language, writing, reading, not sure) in the evening or online, but if I don't get a job, I would need to consider earning a "proper" degree within my field of study (so probably something like 'hotel management' although I've sort of gone off working in a hotel, I much rather work in the reception of an office). So we will see.

I need to sit down and write down all the things that I need to look up and then look those things up - and set up appointments, like with a guidance counsellor at the university and that sort of thing.

As for my writing, I've not done much of it - most of what I have written has been Darcy/Elizabeth of, of course, Pride and Prejudice, but nothing has been shared yet. I might soon though.

I hope others are well! At least the weather here is great.

LJ Has Updated

2013-06-27T18:38:24Z

And now you can see who has visited your journal, and when. Greeeat. Completely and totally not at all pointless/annoying.

What else is new, but with you?

So Long

2013-02-19T11:24:12Z

Excepting my posts regarding the Holiday Drabbles, I haven't posted since September. SEPTEMBER! It is quite shocking.

A lot has happened since then, though things have pretty much remained the same. I got my tattoo, I went to Edinburgh and Glasgow and not only met up with Chiara (chiaw) of pips_n_chiaw but also met another friend who was in Glasgow visiting some family. I got to see Mumford & Sons live (it was completely awesome! I can't wait until April, when I get to see them again - this time in Stockholm). I finished my schooling, of course, and I technically have a job.

I say technically because I don't consider it to be a job, because it's only maybe two-three hours per week (one hour per shift, starting at 7am) and even if I were to work every day (seven days a week, as I have done) I would probably still not really consider it to be a job because I wouldn't really earn enough from it to have that as my job. So I'm still looking, but if nothing else, this particular job will be something else to put on my resume and I get some exercise walking to and from it (one hour there, one hour back home). It's at a hostel, so I do have some receptionist/administrative duties, which is why it is ok enough for me to stay with for a little while longer - it'd look good on my resume, as I am looking for work as an hotel receptionist or as a business receptionist.

But this is also why things don't feel as if they are any different; it is technically a job, but I'm still searching for a proper job. Even if it's not full-time, there's got to be something better than this. The job itself is... fine for the most part, but could've been much better.

I got a new cellphone, I got a big separate computer screen (my little laptop is 10 inch; great for travel, hard on the eyes) and behind the cut is a instagram photo of my tattoo, for those who wants to see it (and didn't see it on facebook). Speaking of which, any one of you on facebook and wants to be friends there? I have to admit that I'm much more active there these days, because although I do check my flist often, I am obviously not very good at all at posting.

So, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year and Happy Valentine's Day.

It might not be entirely clear where it's located; it's on my left arm, on the "over side" of the crock of my elbow. And that said, I have to say, it looks much better for real than it does in the photo! (And not just because the hair on my arm looks really dark in the image, but you can barely see it on my arm.) Anyway. There it is. I'm quite happy with it. :)

Journeying Away

2012-09-11T00:06:53Z

I have been back in Sweden for three months now, but not really been very active. I've tried to check LJ as often as I've been able to, but I've spent the majority of these past three months out on the island and often, the only internet connection I have had has been through my phone. And my phone hates LJ. I can't even use the LJ app for phones. It got to the point where I had to email my drabble for one of the months at dmhgchallenge to the mods (it won third place and mod's choice) because I couldn't post it myself.

As a result of that, I've not really been updating or commenting as much. I have tired, more or less, to catch up since then though. I suppose it might be a combination of things; of vacation, of back from vacation, or just new things happening in the lives of people, but it seems as though LJ is not as active now as it once was. There's not much difference in the communities I'm a member of (maybe a little, over the summer, but the communities that post fanfiction often has fluctuating amounts of posts, unless there's a fest going on) but in the posts made by the people on my friends list.

I suppose I shouldn't say anything, considering I so very rarely post, but I wonder if people truly are moving away from this site. It seems like it has been happening for a while, but it's only when I've come back to it and seen how "little" people have been posting in my absence, that I have truly noticed it. Where does people go?

To me, LJ has been almost synonym with fanfiction. This is where I have read a lot of stories. This is where I have shared my stories. This is where I have felt a part of a community. It's funny, because even though I know that LJ is so much bigger than fanfiction, to me, this has almost been like a fanfiction archive, with a very active and personal forum where readers and writers can interact - either in communities or in the relative privacy of their own f-locked posts. I would hate for that feeling to disappear. LJ has been a huge part of my life for the past nine years. In fact, it was around this time nine years ago, that I first visited LJ. It was through a Buffy/Spike fanfiction, and the author posted on LJ. Another author whose website I visited recced the story with a link, and here I was.

LJ gave me my writers name. LJ gave me friends I hold very dear even today, and it was through LJ that I developed and grew as Ree. As myself, really.

I think that's why I feel the way I do (or, at least, did) about LJ being like a forum or an archive, because so much of my interaction on LJ has been about fanfiction.

It would be sad to see it disappear.

Valentine

2012-02-14T18:40:24Z

Thank you every one for the lovely hearts. Most of them I didn't get the notification on, so I was very happily surprised when I saw my profile and the more hearts than I expected. :) I am horribly sick today, so spending the day in bed in a not fun kind of way, but I wanted to send some love to you all.

So Happy Valentine's Day lovely friends!

Number of dmhgchallenge: 10 (January 2011 had no challenge, and I dropped out of October)

Save for counting NaNoWriMo (which is not finished, not by a long-shot) I have only counted writing that is completed (and save for the "deleted scenes" posted somewhere online). Until I remembered that, I thought I must've counted wrong, because I distinctly recall writing on a few different Edward/Bella stories. All in all, I am quite happy with my result, especially because at the start of the year, I was struggling with my Draco/Hermione muse (as I had been for some time before that as well) and I thought I was coming to an end with my writing for that pairing.

Goals 2012:
Finish NaNoWriMo 2011 and 2012.
Not join any fest/challenge/exchange with a deadline (save for dmhgchallenge) under the next six months (as forced by shag_me_draco).
Write 7 000 words per week (save for week one, because I need it to get myself organised).

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Draco/Hermione Writing

2011-11-09T19:23:19Z

Earlier this year I signed up for not one, not two but four different challenges/fests; deflower_draco, dramione_remix, dramione_duet and luciusbigbang. They have now all been posted - all are Draco/Hermione, and the luciusbigbang also includes Lucius/Narcissa.

deflower_draco - Master List
To Have & To Hold - NC-17, 13 800 words
Summary: Draco is getting married. The only problem is, his intended bride is not a virgin and he doesn't love her.

dramione_remix - Master List
Treasure Island - NC-17, 8 913 words
Summary: Hermione falls off a ship and lands on a mostly deserted island and Draco finds her. Inspired by/based upon the Tarzan books by Edgar Rice Burroughs as well as the Tarzan (1999) film by Disney (which in turn was based on Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs).

dramione_duet - Master List
I Want You So Bad - Hard R, 3 000
Summary: His life had turned more dangerous than ever; because of her, he had someone to lose.
Warnings: non-graphic DH torture, somewhat suggestive dominant/submissive, possibly non-con (not written as such, but could certainly be seen in that light if one chooses to do so).

Darkest Side of Me - NC-17, 4 071
Summary: A potion accident goes wrong, and Hermione is on the hunt for the cure; what she doesn't know is that Draco is also on the hunt--for her.
Warnings: This story contains Dominant/submissive, as per the recipient’s request, which includes spanking as punishment. Though Hermione is not entirely willing, Draco does not actually hurt her physically and there is no non-con, but if you wish to read it as such, feel free to do so. It also contains werewolf biting in a sexual setting.

luciusbigbang - Master List
Stand By You - PG-13, 11 201
Summary: Lucius and his relationship with Draco through the years, from infancy to parenthood.

All told, 40 985 words of Draco/Hermione (plus a little bit of Lucius/Narcissa), that I have written between August and October of this year. And here I'd thought my D/Hr writing days were mostly over.

I Want You So Bad
Rating: Hard R
Word Count: 3 000
Summary: His life had turned more dangerous than ever; because of her, he had someone to lose.

Two Flower Bushes

2011-05-08T09:18:43Z

I took these yesterday when I was walking towards a mall (to buy a new, small, computer). While there (while sitting in an IKEA cafeteria actually) my dad called and asked if I wanted to come over to my sister's and have dinner out with them, which I did. Luckily I had brought my jacket (despite the warm weather) although funny enough, I hadn't gone for more than four minutes before I went "maybe I should've left it at home, because it's just taking up space in my bag", because I didn't come home until close to 11pm, and while not cold, I was only wearing a tank top and it was a little chilly. I can't get sick right now, not so close to the surgery.

Happy Spring!

Writer's Block: It's always summer

2011-04-30T10:04:13Z

I love the changing of the seasons. I love summer, because it's warm and it's bright and everything is green.

I love the fall, because the air is crisp but not often very cold, and the trees turn vibrant with deep red, bright yellow and darkening green leafs and I love walking through the leaves that've fallen, because they crunch so wonderfully under your feet.

I love winter, the first snow fall and watching the fluffy flakes fall gently to the ground and covering my world with a blanket of white.

And I love spring, because it's a new beginning and it's warm without being horribly so, and the trees and the grass turns green and the spring flowers bloom beautifully.

But, as much as I love it all, I also don't like the end of autumn, because once the leaves have fallen, the trees are bare and depressing. I don't like the end of winter, because the novelty of the snow has worn off, and it's either cold and wet from the snow, or cold and dark and brown because there is no snow.

And summer, as much as I love it, remains fairly much the same through-out. The only one truly changing every day, in a positive sort of way, is spring. New flowers, new buds on the trees, warm one day and a little chilly the next, spring is ever changing until it turns into summer. So if I had to pick one season to live in for the rest of my life, I would pick spring, most definitely.

Voting at dramione_awards!

2010-09-23T16:38:18Z

Oh but hey, happy news; my ficlet Diagon Alley was nominated in the 7th round of dramione_awards in the Best Romantic Ficlet category, found HERE.

I've not yet gone through and voted on the many other categories, but I will over the weekend. Some great author's and their even great works have been nominated and it should be fun.

On the off chance that the person who nominated me is reading this, I want to say thank you. :)

2010-04-05T05:08:57Z

Well, now that's over. 36 560 words, done and posted; Don't Stop Believing (Finn/Rachel) if anyone is interested.

I can't believe it's over. I can't believe that after nearly eight years of writing (two months over eight years of being a fangirl, actually!) this is my first fully finished multi-chaptered story. I'm amazed. It took me way too long to get to this point. It feels great. And hopefully I'll be able to write more of these now - though perhaps not all of them in the Glee fandom. After all, I have a whole lot of old HP ideas I've been wanting to write since 2006 lying around collecting dust. I should see about those first - I think they've waited for my attention long enough.
