Contradictio in Terminis

Ho-leeeee shit.


One week. One week, OMG you guys, where did the time go? This time next week, instead of answering questions about vacation accrual or filing invoices, I’m going to be in Holland, trying to catch a train from Amsterdam Schiphol airport to Groningen.


I leave on Sunday. I can’t even.

Um, you guys, we interrupt this broadcast to tell you that Jack Layton is dead. WTF. Hello, mindfuck. It somehow doesn’t seem possible, and yet. :/






(My flight doesn’t seem possible either, but man, I gotta start packing.)


PLUS ONE REC: Can't Go Back The Same Way You Came, Thor (movieverse), by Pell on AO3. THIS IS PERFECTION. IN WRITING. It is at once understated and heartwrenchingly brilliant, and you all need to read it yesterday. Like, it'll make you cry, it's so good.

1. Saw Billy Elliot: The Musical last night with Mom, Dad and Oma. OH MY GOD IT WAS FANTASTIC. OH MY GOD. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it, since I'm not really a musical theatre kind of person but ;LKAJSL;DFKJA;SLDK IT DESERVES ALL THE PRAISE EVER. I know squat about music, but everything sounded awesome and the entire thing was just so well done. No words! The set and costume design was amazing; the story was funny in parts and sad in parts, and just beautiful all around... and the dancing. Oh my. The choreography was absolutely brilliant and incorporated a range of styles a;sldkfjalk I still can't get over it. I loved the first scene with the cops, and the background dancers in Grandma's Song, but my favourite part (ok, aside from all of Expressing Yourself, because goddamn, the kid who played Micheal... just, damn~) was the dance with young!Billy and future!Billy. Beautiful, flawless, fierce, wonderful perfection; cue me writhing and dying in my seat. Ballet, guh. And the boy playing Billy was absolutely phenomenal; how so much talent fits into one body, I have no idea but it was wonderful.

2. I mailed my exchange paperwork yesterday. *FINGERS FUCKING CROSSED*

3. I want a boyfriend.
