All right, so let me tell you about a couple of awesome things that happened in the second half of the year. I meant to share them when they actually happened but then I was busy and... yeah. But anyway.

So, in July, I continued watching Teen Wolf. I'd stopped at some point at the beginning of Season 3A, for some reason, cause I got stuck and had other shows to watch or whatever, but in July this year, I started rewatching it.

I quickly got obsessed with it again and wondered why I ever stopped because Season 3 was so awesome?? Anyway, I had to fill some sort of fandom void because my previous main fandom, Big Time Rush, kind of broke up (kind of not, but really, they're at least taking a looong break), so I decided to fill it with Sterek fanfiction. LOTS of Sterek fanfiction. After finishing the show for the first time, I've also rewatched it like, three times since, so year. Big obsession.

At some point in October, I decided to check out Sterek podfics (and can we just talk about how awesome podfics are?? How did I not listen to these things before?). Anyway, I loved that I'd found a way to "read" fics without actually reading them, so I started listening to them in my car on my way to work, and then in the evenings at home.

Often, I didn't turn them off when my mum got home, and she half-listened, but didn't seem very interested in them.

Fast forward to November. My mother and I were sitting in the kitchen, and I turned on the podfic version of No Homo. And my mum listened. And was interested. And laughed. And seriously enjoyed it. And whined when I turned it off because I had to go to bed. It's a long fic, so we had to listen to it on several nights to finish it.

Then one night, we were about to reach an amusing scene which I remembered from the first time I'd read the fic.

Me: Okay, pay attention now - this part is good.
Mum: Oh, I know what happens. *smiles*
Me: What.
Mum: *keeps smiling smugly*
Me: EXPLAIN.

And that's how I found out that the night before, after I went to bed at 1 am, my mum opened Google. Then she typed in "Stiles Derek fanfiction", and ended up clicking a Tumblr link. Without even knowing the freaking title of the fic, she then just happened to stumble across a link on a rec list to the very fic we were reading. And proceeded to read the next three chapters of the fic.



I just... I WAS SO IMPRESSED?? I mean, there is a lot of Sterek fanfic out there, and the fact that she happened to find the one fic we were reading after like, ten minutes of googling... that's just seriously impressive, right?

So yes. That's basically the story of how I turned my mum into a Sterek fangirl. And at that point? SHE HADN'T EVEN WATCHED THE ACTUAL SHOW. She knew nothing about the characters, didn't even know what they looked like, and she loved them.



After that, it spiralled downward quickly. She started looking for fic to read on her own. She started spending whole nights reading fanfiction when she should've been sleeping. Like, she seriously stayed up till 5 am to finish a fic because she couldn't tear herself away from it.

And then we started actually watching the show together, and she quickly became obsessed with the actual show as well, and today, she's still reading a ton of fanfiction - even during lunch at work! - and adores all the characters, but mostly her "Stilesy".

I'm not sure whether to be proud of myself for turning someone completely uninterested in slash, werewolves and fanworks into an obsessed Sterek fangirl, or feel bad about sucking her into this... heh. :3



Since this post is long enough now, read about what happened next in the next post. ;)

...so of course I feel the need to update!



I've been meaning to update for a while, but since I've been studying for my exams (which I'm in the middle of right now) non-stop, I didn't really feel like doing much in the evening. So I've mostly been lazying (is that even a word?) on Tumblr.



I've just come back from the otolaryngologist's (and what kind of word is that, seriously? In Luxembourgish, it's just called a throat-nose-ear doctor, haha!) because, surprise, surprise, I got sick on Monday. I never get sick. I'm not one of those people who have a cold every other week and run to the doctor constantly - no, I'm one of those who get sick just when I'm not supposed to.



So... Woke up on Monday morning with a sore throat. Got better during the day. On Tuesday, it got worse. Then worse on Wednesday. This morning, I wanted to kill myself because it wasn't just my throat that hurt like fuck, but also my ear and my head. So... yay! Excellent state for someone who has to write an exam. -_- So my mum got called the otolaryngologist and got me a appointment for this afternoon, which I just went to.

Basically, everything in my nose-ear-throat area is slimy and disgusting, haha :P No, but apparently, I have the beginnings of a... *consults dictionary* middle ear inflammation? and the beginnings of a... tonsillitis?



So... yeah. Fun! -_- And I've got three more exams to write tomorrow, so let's hope I don't wake up with a horrible fever tomorrow morning, and that these antibiotics that I'm going to take right now are gonna help. And whoa, these pills are fucking huge! O_o And now I need to put some... drops into my nose that have iodine in them, so that'll probably be really uncomfortable. Ew. *does it now* (yes, I'm liveblogging med-taking *facepalm*)

Okay, that was only half as gross as I thought it would be.

But... anyway. I'll make another post this weekend or whenever. Really trying to get back into LJing. Tumblr has ruined me, though. I've become too lazy to type an actual entry and would rather just tell you everything with gifs.

Right. Now I should get back to studying. Three more. THREE MORE. I can do this. I can totally do this. *nods* But seriously, I've been studying a lotlotLOT these past three weeks, and the four exams I've had so far went from semi-well to REALLY well, so... let's hope it works out this time, yeah? Cause if it doesn't... it's over. And I'll have to start from scratch and figure out what to do with my life and will forever hate myself because any job I could get after this one will be way less well-paid. But at the same time, I'll be like...



So... yeah. Back to studying.
