Dude, winter is vicious over here; we get temperatures well below -10C! It's nothing like the Russian winter, of course, but we do get the weather fronts down from Russia in the north, and let me tell you, it's Not Pleasant. D: I miss the lovely, mild UK winters! )':
My period is ridiculously irregular if left to nature. Ever since I got it in the first place, I've sometimes skipped months. So I'm taking the mildest form of contraceptives, just to regulate the bugger (it's damn useful when your dad is an ObGyn). Thankfully, I'm not having any issues these days, apart from being a hormonal bitch every 28 days (like the rest of the female population of the world).
Re: Big Bang -- Jesus, okay, fine, I'll tell you already, just don't come crying to me when you get hooked and it's not done yet, okay? XDDD Here's the summary we've concocted: Ninjas IN SPACE! Join Soragakure's pirate ship captain, Uzumaki Naruto and his crew of misfits on an epic adventure, spanning whole galaxies as they fight to gain control of a viciously dangerous viral mainframe, parts of which are contained in the partly-cyborg bodies of nine men and women all over the known universe. Enemies become friends and friends become something more in a frantic race to outrun the unscrupulous Akatsuki organisation and the corrupt Alliance of space cities and steal a weapon that may mean the end of creation as they know it. Cool, huh? We have to hand it in by 14th Nov, so I'm spending today and tomorrow writing like a woman possessed, and hoping Ember will have the chance to jump in there and lend a hand! DDD:
Re: the military -- I have a strange relationship with it. See, there was this guy. (Yeah, yeah, I know, pathetic or what?) He was the most ridiculously smart person I'd ever met (at 15); he was two years older than me. (You can see where I'm going with this, yes?) Thing is, he graduated at the top of his class, with a bright future in any field he wanted to go into -- and then turned around and joined the military. For the longest time, I was so damn pissed at him, I thought he was throwing away his life, his future, and for what?? (You have to understand, the military over here is nothing like the Glorious US/UK Military that they base films on. In here, it's mostly 'do as we say, not as we do').
So yeah. In the years since, I've come to respect military men and women a hell of a lot, but there's still that vicious piece of personal history that sours my relationship with it. Yes, I was probably an ignorant kid that didn't know what she was about; it doesn't make any difference. You're quite right, though, I am a tenacious, stubborn biatch in pretty much any aspect of my life (that doesn't have to do with making myself happy -- in those aspects I tend to fail miserably).
So, after this rant, let me tell you that the Duke of Edinburgh scholarships sound brilliant. I still don't think it's anything to do with the University, though.
Re: dimensions -- actually, according to the latest string theory (Michio Kaku is a fucking god), there are twelve dimensions of reality. Read "Parallel Universes" by Kaku, I fucking swear by it. Have you watched "Through the Wormhole" with Morgan Freeman on Discovery Science yet? Fascinating stuff.
Re: Arthurrrrrr. Hmmmmm. I kind of see them switching, much as with any other pairing that I ship. I do not at all support the theory that Arthur is a Bottom, that he is exclusively the submissive partner, because were they watching the same film I was??? Arthur is a freaking BAMF!! Also, Eames is awesome. It's been months now since my phone's background has been anything but Tom Hardy.
