Procrastination with a purpose




amygloriouspond:

My first giveaway! I’ve been wanting to do one since last year, and now that I have some spare time and money enough to make it, I thought it was time to do it. It’s just my way to thank you all for putting up with me and with all my fandoms, which I know seem to be far too many and change from time to time, but the mainly ones are sticking, and they are what this giveaway is about. So, here’s the deal~

The Prizes:

  • 4 handmade scarves. 1 TARDIS scarf (Doctor Who), 1 scarf resembling Sherlock’s (BBC Sherlock), 1 Gryffindor scarf and 1 Slytherin scarf (Harry Potter).
  • The first place will get TWO scarves, their pick.
  • The second place will get ONE scarf, also their pick (between the two left).
  • The third place will get the last scarf.

If this gets reblog a lot I might even try and make Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff’s scarves, I’M NOT PROMISING ANYTHING because I’ll need to buy the material.

The Rules:

  • Only TWO reblogs a day. I don’t want people’s dashboards getting clogged or anything. You may reblog as many days as you like, but only TWO times per day. I will be checking. And likes DO NOT count as entries, sorry!
  • Anyone can reblog this, it’d be nice if you were part of the fandoms though, or at least part of one.
  • I’m willing to ship worldwide. It doesn’t matter where you are from but when I pick the winners the shipping date will be due BASED ON THEIR LOCATION. I won’t have trouble in shipping it right away if the winners are from USA, Canada or even South America (I think) but if the winners are from any other country it might be delayed because of the costs. They will get their prizes anyway.
  • You do not have to be following me to win, but if there are changes to the giveaway (such as adding more prizes) it’d be helpful if you were, just to keep track of them. Plus, I’ll be posting pictures of the scarves as I’m finishing them.
  • You must be willing to share your address with me, and if you must, ask your parents for permission.
  • Your ask box must be open, that’s how the winners will get notified. If the winner (when picked) doesn’t have their ask box open I’ll have to pick another one. The winners will have 12 hours to reply with their information, if they don’t, I will too pick another winner and so on until I have all the addresses of the winners.
  • The giveaway ends on Saturday, June 23rd. I will pick the winners that night, so I will stop counting the reblogs around 9 PM (CST) I might inform the winners the same day if I can, if not, the next day.
  • The winners will be chosen by a random number generator using random.org and once someone has won I’ll remove their name from the list to choose the next winner, and so on.

A huge thank you to Ana for making the cutest drawing for this!

Gonna watch Merlin

Apparently my love for the BBC isn’t deep enough, so I’m gonna watch the first two episodes of Merlin. 

This shit better be be good.

It’ll be difficult to think of Merlin as someone else other than Jethro from Doctor Who, or even a younger Sherlock.

BUT I’LL TRY BECAUSE I NEED TO UNDERSTAND HALF MY DASH.

areyoutryingtodeduceme:

YOU GUYS NEARLY 11,000 OF YOU PUT UP WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS. You guys listen to more of my crap than my own boyfriend generally does. That deserves rewarding. So this is an extra SPECIAL tea give away, and there will be THREE winners. Oh my god. Want a chance to become one of those lucky three people? Read on and follow directions.

THE PRIZES:

  • First Place Prize: A set of all seven Sherlock Shipper tea blends [Sherlock/Moriarty, Sherlock/Irene, Moriarty/Moran, Mycroft/Lestrade, Lestrade/John, Lestrade/Molly, Molly/Moriarty]
  • Second Place Prize: A set of all four* Avengers Teas [Thor, Loki, Steve Rogers, and Coulson *and possibly also Tony Stark if I make a tea for him soon]
  • Third Place Prize: A set of all three Doctor Who Teas [The TARDIS, Amy Pond, and Rory]
  • IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE PRIZE PACKS: Each winner will get ONE blend specially created for them. It can be a character or ship or show or book or whatever that I haven’t done that they’d like me to do. It can even be a blend made based on THEM. Whatever the winners would like. They each get to request one, and they will receive it with their other teas.

I MIGHT ADD TO THESE PRIZES. If this gets reblogged like, a lot, or something, I might lose my head and also send the winners mugs to go with their tea. Or a book. WE’LL SEE.

THE RULES: 

  • Anyone ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD can enter EXCEPT AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND!! I am SUPER sorry for my followers down under because not only do you have to put up with terrifying wild life, you can’t even allow tea to be imported to help comfort you. Sorry, there’s like, crazy laws and stuff.
  • You do not have to be following me to win, but it might be helpful to keep track of updates or changes (if any). Plus I plan to make some blends for other fandoms in the future, so if tea is your thing, it might not be a bad idea?
  • Only two reblogs a day allowed.I did not realize how often people would reblog my last big give away soooo I’m going to enforce this LOL. You can reblog on as many days as you’d like, but yeah, only 2 reblogs a day please. I’ll be checking.
  • LIKES DON’T COUNT. Sorry! You have to reblog!
  • The give away will end and I will choose the winners on FRIDAY JUNE 1STI’ll probably do the drawing late at night on that day, so I’m going to say I’ll stop counting reblogs at 10 p.m. EST. Winners may not be announced until the next day or so, just to be aware!
  • Here’s how the winners will be selected: Just like all of my other give aways, I’ll compile a spreadsheet or numbered list of all of the reblogs, and I’ll use the number generator on random.org to chose a number and find the corresponding username on the list. The first number I draw will win the first place prize (or, if they are more into Avengers or Doctor Who, they may chose one of the other prizes). Second number I draw will win the second place prize (or a choice between whatever two packs remain), and the third number drawn will receive the last prize!

Sheep snatching thing

I just finished watching The Decoy Bride, starring David Tennant.

Super cute film! 

I find it hilarious that Tennant starred in a Scottish film, but once again, he wasn’t able to use his natural Scottish accent….seriously.

I also love that Michael Urie and David Tennant worked together! I fucking loved Ugly Betty, and Michael was great on Broadway.

The scene with the dancing deaf couple….oh my God, too flawless.

I need to watch more romantic comedies.







I’m back in Rome!

Two weeks of reading Johnlock and get into Game of Thrones!

During the 9 hour car ride, I kept having these intense, non-sexual scenarios about Johnlock, and now I want to write some fanfic…I told myself I’d never do that, but it’s so tempting…I think I could be pretty good.

But alas, laziness.

DAT STACHE







Switzerland, you are drunk.

I am sitting in the lobby of my sister’s university. She graduated today. I am here alone because I could not stand the smell and people at reception. I had a nosebleed right after the ceremony, my third of the day. I am wearing a nice dress I got in London, this is the first time in three years I have worn a dress. These random Indian ladies came over while my nose was bleeding, and they poured water over my head, while my parents were trying to find the nurse. It was just as strange as it sounds. Norah Jones is playing and I just want to go home and read Johnlock fanfic.
