Current state of my life.  Also, a belatedly announcement that I have a tumblr?

The prompt was: A lot of Alicia's life can be symbolized by the two men in her life: Peter, her politician husband, the one with whom she has ties, expectations, baggage, children, her pubic identity, etc, and then Will who represents all the what-ifs. She seems like the kind of lady who's stood at the brink a long time before jumping -- what makes her want to, and what holds her back? LOL I think I'm basically asking for a character study with shippy explorations, but just go to town!

I went beyond just the two men, but stayed with the general idea.  Divided into three major areas.  The tracklistings contain spoilers for both seasons.

This is the last one for awhile, promise.

( SMASH FOR FUNCollapse )

"Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no when you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re doing here. Believe in kissing."
— Eve Ensler

( The prompt was: theme of empowerment through not needing love/finding things worth more than romantic loveCollapse )

So I bought my ticket for the FC Barcelona v Manchester United game in Washington, D.C. on July 30th last night.  Now, assuming my funding comes through, I'm also scheduled to be in the Netherlands studying for most of July, which is just a hop, skip and a jump from Munich.  Where Barca just happens to also be playing on July 21-22nd in the Audi Cup.  So my question, oh peoples of Europe on my FL, who wants to go with me?

Also, people of DC, this is your warning.  I am coming. >:D
