this week

[sarahyyy]

• Week one of exams are over. I can breathe easier now. Phew. I thought I was going to suffocate and die at a lot of points. BUT I DIDN'T. So yay! XD
• I started writing a few Christmas drabbles from the requests that I've gotten. Also wrote a bit more of NaNoWriMo because Reg wanted my help and because I so needed to procrastinate.
• Grimm is awesome. Captain Renard is a total badass (and mad sexy when he's being badass) and I'm so intrigued by his involvement with the whole thing. =D I love how the episodes have been going. I like this week's episode a lot. =D
• GLEE. SANTANA. WHAT. She broke my heart with all the angst etched onto her face. ♥ *hugs* Also, she needs to get all the solos. I'm pretty much in love with her by now.
• I had a breakup scare with Matt yesterday. We've been in a long distance relationship (he's in Singapore, I'm in Malaysia but it's not so bad because it's pretty close and we see each other almost every other week) for about 3 years now and yesterday I found out that he'd applied for a twinning programme with NYU and got accepted and was going to NYC for 18 months. Which then escalated into a talk about how we're both horrid at relationships, how infeasible a NY-M'sia relationship was going to be and how we should take a break. Then, this morning he came back home from Singapore and our mothers wanted to have lunch together and they used their secret ninja-skills to make us stop being stupid and we're okay now. Okay, yes, a lot of our problems are a bit irrational and stupid but. Still. I don't know. I love him and I want this to work (but I keep thinking it won't) and I keep thinking he'd probably have more fun there if he's not tied down to a girlfriend over here (which is a legitimate worry) and just. IDK. Anyone here with long distance relationship advices? 

Have a kissy!Joe, all of you. ♥

I think long distance relationships are possible, but usually it requires spending lots of time online/phone talking keeping up with each other's lives. I would also suspect that its harder whe you are younger. The tempation to see what else is 'out there' probably is especially strong when you are far apart.

I think so too. Which is why I thought a breakup would be more practical. I don't want him to miss out on having fun because he has to worry about what I might think he's doing. >.< *sigh*

Long distance is tough, but I think you can swing it. When I went abroad, it was very difficult, but I think that's mostly due to the fact that our relationship itself was. not. working. My problem was he expected me to stay in and talk to him all the time, when I could be out seeing things -- it wasn't that I wished I could have been dating other people.

From what I can tell about you and Matt, though, is that you're quite strong together and although you may have petty fights, nothing like that will endanger your relationship. Make Skype part of your routine. If you both have smart phones, get WhatsApp. If I were you, I might even look for an internship in NYC while he's there. Good opportunity either way. I think the worst thing you can do, to be honest, is make him feel like he has to stay in and talk to you instead of going out and seeing the city or travelling around New England or whatever.

THIS. I am really, really happy that he got into the twinning programme and I really want him to have fun and see the world and all those sort of blahs. But it's hard to let go when neither of us wants to. D: And we think that we will be able to work things out, but that's easy to say when he's not there yet. *sigh*

But thank you, bb. ♥

Yay! You're almost there! Good luck with the rest of your exams.

I felt bad for Santana too. I like that they're telling her story though. Kurt is my favorite but I do enjoy her sassiness, most of the time.

As for relationship advice. You and Matt obviously adore each other. (moms too :) so I think you'll make a long distance relationship work. They key will be to find ways to stay connected and share in each other experiences.

A few more papers to go and I will sleep forever. XD

I watched this season of Glee mostly for the Kurt/Blaine but dl;kjfdsklf Santana has been awesomeness personified this season! ♥ And they keep giving her all my favourite songs. XD

I dearly hope that we can work things out. =/ I like him way too much for us to fall apart at the seams. (Also, my mum is a ninja when it comes to my relationship with Matt. It's scary. XD)

I'm shite at relationship advice. But ILY and I hope you figure it out. Just go with your gut on this one, I think. If you can figure out what your gut is telling you. :P

So, can I has a kissy!Joe in real life, please?? :3

Heh heh, no worries, bb, that's legitimately good relationship advice. =)♥

If I could make it happen, trust me, I would. XD

IKR? the character went from "meh" to "EXTREMELY INTERESTING" to me in the space of a single episode.
