This is where you'll find the page with my High Tide fics.

I've been so busy studying I forgot to post my weekly fic link, yesterday. Ok, here goes. This is where you'll find my Heroes fan fiction. As usual, don't forget to read the ratings and warnings.

I have found that many of my interests and hobbies are relatively rare. That is, not everyone shares my obsession with them. In fact, many of them never even heard of some of my favorites in a given area of interest.

It's kind of like my favorite types of animals. (Though listing my favorite animals will take time and blog post space. It might be easier to list the ones I'm not too keen on, but I digress.)

So, to get to the point, it occurred to me that my two favorite genres of books are a bit like cats and dogs. Let me explain.

Crime novels, in general, are crime novels, though there are of course historic ones, thrillers, puzzles etc. So that is the same as cats. A cat is a cat, regardless of its breed or appearance. (Though to make this a little more complicated, most people haven't heard of my favorite mystery writers either, so maybe I shouldn't take this metaphor too far.)

Anyway - With me so far?

Fantasy is more like dogs. What's a dog? A big tough, impressive one, like a - Eurasian? Yes. A lively, medium sized one, like a Tibetan Terrier? Yes. A small, adorable one, like a Lhasa apso or a Bolognese? Yes. A - you get the picture. My favorite fantasy books do have other followers, but really not that many. If I meet an average fantasy fan (yeah, I wish), I'm betting he or she might not even have heard of my favorites.

So there you have it. When it comes to crime novels, I like many different kinds. Fantasy, particularly my not so well known authors. 

This time I thought I'd offer you my Hair fic. You'll find it here.

My very own little microcommunity about fandom (fan fiction and fan art/photo montages) and anything to do with fandom - tv series, movies, books and more. You'll find it here.

This is a tv series you might not have heard of: The Eagle - A Crime Odyssey. It's a Danish cop series, but it's more than that, really. You could say it's a drama, and the titles of the episodes are taken from the Odyssey, if I'm not mistaken. If you have heard of it, you might be interested in my page with The Eagle fics. You'll find it here.

I have some news at last. Things don't really happen here, as you might have guessed, but at the moment at least something's going on. I went back to university. One last attempt at getting a degree. Maybe I shouldn't have posted this. Who knows if it might jinx my chances, but they were never very good to begin with, so I'm going to risk it. LOL.

So far I've only been to the introduction and the first lecture (and I won't be able to go to that many), but at least so far, so good. It seems interesting and not as difficult as I feared in my worst moments of insomnia... As for the people in my group, well, at least there are about 14 guys, so that's nice, even if most of them aren't really my type. Too many of them are too young (for me, and that's saying a lot LOL) and the rest - well, I don't know. The majority of the twenty odd students are female and those too are kids. About 19 most of them. Needless to say I was invisible to all my group, possibly including the professor (who wasn't my type either, way too old, for one).

Yesterday started out quite well, but as you can see from my last post, it began to deteriorate pretty soon. Even so I now officially have three nice things to note in this blog post (for yesterday).

1. I woke up at a decent time in the morning and I was fully rested! (Of course I had to go for 48 hours without sleep to achieve that, but still).
2. 1000 people have read my Cold Case fic Winding Road on FanFiction.net!
3. I watched quite a fun movie yesterday (Dinotopia). I love that universe.

Another thing -  I think I might have ADHD. That might explain a few things. I haven't had a diagnosis so I could still be wrong, but so far everything I've read sounds far too familiar. Not sure how I feel about that. In a way, it will be creepy to have a sort of disability but on the other hand, it will be a relief to know that I'm not just a stupid, worthless failure for no reason.

That's all for now. Updates later (if there's anything to update).
