And so endeth my Internship. Last day and all today.
At least it ended on a good note. If by "good note" one means "had very little work to do, so spent most of the day messing around on the Internet and chatting with people who came up to ask how I liked my time there. And to compliment my haircut."
(Yeah, I got my hair cut the other day. It is now... much shorter than it used to be. Possibly the shortest I have ever had it. I was going to take a picture to show you guys, but I couldn't get a decent one - as always, I Do Not Photograph Well - so no camwhoring for you.)
Anyway, back to Interning. My supervisor gave me what sounded like a decent enough write-up. And we had an ice-cream party for my last day. No, really - at afternoon tea, someone brought in ice-cream and mini cones, and we ate that. Which was very nice of them.
So now I just need to do the reflective essay, which will be easy. Huzzah!
Also: Have a meme.
Leave me a comment saying "UNICORNSICE-CREAM!"
I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.
I grabbed this from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
robotlove, and she asked me the following questions:
1. All the countries you've been to so far and the one you like best!
Excluding Australia ('Cos I live here), I've been to New Zealand, - I was like a year old, so I don't remember it - Thailand, Egypt and Jordan. And technically Singapore, though I never left the airport.
As for my favourite... While the competition is probably down to between Thailand and Egypt, which both have very, very good points, Egypt most likely wins out on the basis that it's got a wider range of cool stuff. Including resorty beachy things if you go to the Red Sea.
2. Favorite color
Hot pink. Not the pale or salmon pinks, though I still like those, but the really bright, bold hot pink. Yeah, it's one of my particularly girly moments.
3. Least favorite Geass character
Kinda grateful this was phrased as "least favourite" rather than "most disliked", mainly because I don't really hate any of the Code Geass characters. There's characters I love, characters I like, characters that amuse me, characters that interest me (without liking them), and characters I don't care about/find mildly annoying.
Anyway, it depend if we are talking about overall opinion, or at a specific point. The closest I came to hating any Geass character is when the Suzaku-Lelouch meet-up got interrupted just as they were about to work together. I had a moment of ARGH RAGE at Schneizel over that. Overall, though, it's probably... Rolo. Not because of any actual dislike for him, I just didn't care about him at all, and I spent most of the time that was focused on him wishing they'd focus on characters I actually cared about. I appreciate what his death meant in terms of Lelouch's development, but as a character in and of himself, I am just profoundly apathetic to Rolo.
4. Favorite subject
FFFFFF...
No idea. Creative Writing classes are the most fun, even if in educational terms they are probably the least productive; sociology and psychology tend to have interesting lectures, but dull assignments. That class I had a few years back on Cybersocieties was great though. And anything about Media and Culture is good.
5. Why vegetarian, and which of all veg food do you like best? :D
I'm not vegetarian for any particularly moral reason, I just don't like the taste of meat - even before I became a vego, I never ate much red meat - and the idea of eating something's flesh kind of squicks me out. A lot. But because my reasons are so subjective, you'll never hear me try to convert others or anything.
And as for food... maybe a curry. Actually, probably definitely curry. I remember out last day in Jordan, when I'd been away from Australia and my Indian take-away joint for three weeks, and I went to the hotel restaurant and had a veggie curry for lunch. OM NOM NOM! I still don't know if that place actually made amazing curries, or if it was just the joy of having one after living off the somewhat small range of tour vegetarian options for three weeks.
I reserve the right to ask people exceedingly stupid and/or random questions if they respond to this meme.

EDIT: AAAAAAAAAAAAAND in a spur of the moment, I clicked to your ffn favorites and I AM *BEGIN FANGIRL DRAMA* SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT PRIMARY GAIN IS NOT ON YOUR LIST.
THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST OF ALL CHAPTERED GEASS FANFICTION I HAVE SEEN SO FAR (which isn't a lot, but well when you read it, you'll probably see what I mean). I am probably biased because it is a fabulous SuzaLulu AU which starts out with VERY deliciously fun and well-done SuzaKallen, but pairings aside, the plot is marvelous (I shan't spoil!), the characters well-handled, and the scenes simply terrifically orchestrated.
It's going to take you a few hours to plow through what there is thus far though, so provided you haven't already read this, I suggest you settle down with a nice mug of your favorite drink and some snacks when you find the time. If you have tons of paper, PRINT IT TO READ DURING THE FLIGHTS! 8D *end fangirl drama*
asfhajghag sorry for multiple edits! ^^"

(I actually came up with this theory in one of Yami's recent posts that a reason for Lelouch's ridiculous popularity - and the tendency for his fans to white-wash his flaws - is that Code Geass is, to some extent, basically a Draco in Leather Pants fanfic of a stereotypical shonen villain. It's not completely there, but the show has a number of aspects, and so fandom has a distinct tendency to completely fill in the rest of it)
Agreed on the one piece body suit. And, yeah, the BK and Zero are basically proof that the show isn't that far removed from Saturday Morning Cartoons. Which is why complaints about the unrealistic end or surprise that Lelouch and Suzaku ultimately teamed up makes me LOL. It may be darker and edgier, but it's still a freaking cartoon.
LOL, I put off reading Primary Gain, because it was a long WIP and I have been rather busy. And I like reading stories in one big go. But I have time now, so I will probably read it some time this week!
And your list is lovely and I can't see any formatting problems, so thank you very much for that.
