Okay so I had intended to make a small picspam about my theory that Jane and Lisbon were secretly lovers (from last week's episode), but things got out of hand and I made this gigantic thing instead.

Obviously, I don't believe my 'theory' to be the truth. This is just me reading between the lines with my shipper mind. The text accompanying the picspam is either what I 'theorize' that was said between Jane and Lisbon or comments I make about the particular scene/dialogue.

The picspam is big. It's about 800 x 3400 pixels.

I'm a bit behind on the fic and Mentalist recap reading. Now that the picspam's done, I'm hoping to read everything. I'm also behind on fic writing. I'm hoping to get a bit more ahead on those.

I won bids @ help_haiti!

I won this bid by diviniaserit and this bid by lilsmiles86.

I had also bid for not_as_we, but someone bid $40 and since I had bid for other things I didn't want to get ruined and I bid for tromana but hoshinekoyasha clearly wanted the bid so I left it alone. I didn't want to ruin her. I overall donated $40, which is pretty good, I think. I felt slightly selfish though because I'm really excited about getting those fics so I donated an extra £15 to the International Rescue Committee because that's the NGO where my mom works.

I also did some German exercises and Better Off Ted icons today.

I'm still jet-lagged which is completely ridiculous because I got back 10 days ago, but I remember it doing the exact same last year after coming back after Christmas. For some reason, the jet-lag is really not as bad when I travel in the summer.

I posted this ages ago, but had tons of problems with the formatting. I forgot about it for about a while and now I've finally finished putting it together.

Had to wake up early to catch plane back to the UK. I did not want to leave Germany one bit. When I got back, I got a text from my aunt. Her best friend died last night (she was battling cancer). It took me 4 1/2 hours to get back -- Gatwick is a mere 45 minute drove away from here -- because all trains wre running late. Complete nightmare. Should have taken me 2 hours to get back instead of 4 1/2.

I'm tired and cranky. I won't be online from Thursday on as I'm going to Manchester for my graduation (it's Friday) and then coming back here (where half my aunt's family will be there, including my dad) on Sunday before going to Canada on Tuesday. This week will be exhausting.
