Geekery
This is where you will find my current and not-so current loves and infatuations. Mind your steps, now. Don’t slip on the superficialness, please.
Starbucks
Their coffee is expensive, yes, and they probably have a massive evil campaign to take over the world. But as long as they continuously supply me with soy upside down caramel macchiatos, world domination or not, I’ll most likely still go there and spend my meager earnings every morning. I mean, tell me: what can be better than soy caramel macchiatos, with a side order of a really hot emo barista boy? None. Except maybe an NSYNC reunion.
Jensen Ackles
Oh, Jensen Ackles - my future husband #4. Also more popularly known as Dean Winchester from the show Supernatural and as the guy with the really fit arse. Ahem. He’s a good actor - charming, funny - what more can a fangirl ask for? Oh, and he’s really, really, really not ugly. Like, really not ugly. At all. In conclusion: Wincest. And JSquared. That is all.
Death Cab for Cutie: Transatlanticism
I had this album on repeat during my seven hour train ride from Amsterdam to Berlin. What an epic album. Truly. It’s very understated - simple melodies, simple rhythms - but the mood and tone that the album presents is haunting. I especially love the transitions between Tiny Vessels, Transatlanticism, and Passenger Seat.
iPhone
My iPhone, lovingly called Seth Cohen, got me through some pretty rough patches. It filled my ears with music, when douche bags would heckle and follow me, while walking through the streets of Amsterdam. It gave me directions to find my hostels, without fail. It showed me my emails when I got homesick. It connected me to AirTransat, when they suddenly decided to hate my guts and change my flight times. Seth Cohen the iPhone and I? BFFs, I tell you. BFFs.
Before Sunrise
This is one of those rare movies that actually makes you want to believe in serendipity and in romance. Probably some of the most captivating dialogue I’ve heard in a while. Though, I’m not going to lie - I’m pretty bitter that I never met an Ethan Hawke look-a-like during my train ride from Budapest to Vienna.
Torchwood
Torchwood is like a conglomeration of CSI, Dr Who, and X-Files. Except better, because John Borrowman is the lead, along with the awesomesauce Gareth David-Llyod. And, of course, man kissing. Because man kissing trumps everything. Do you hear that, Kripke? Man kissing trumps everything.
