Long time...

Wow, I can't believe it's been more than three months since my last update! Maybe it's because something finally clicked in my life and took a turn I like. And I plan to stick to it and make sure my dreams will come true.

So, I have a job, kind of. It's civil service for the Red Cross. It lasts a year and earns me a little more than €400 per month. It's all about volunteering and I'm loving it!

About my instructions and plans for my future, I'm trying to dig through several websites to find a university where to pursue a bachelor degree in criminology. I found some very interesting ones in the States and I'm planning on getting as much information as I can, because this is my call and I definitely plan on making it a reality :)

Social life sucks. Since I started the job it got a lot better, but I keep on being upset from old friends turning their back on me. So this topic instantly turns my bitch mode on >.<
Anyway I met some nice people at work, but I've been hurt one too many and I honestly don't know if I'll ever be able to trust anyone again...

Let's talk now about my favourite topic: CRIMINAL MINDS!!!
Ok, season five started with an incredibly fantastic episode! And it just kept on going like that. We had some nice MGmoments! Episode 100 was so amazing! I cried a lot, I was sorry for all of them. All the actors did such an amazing job on that one that it would be a crime if none of them were given some kind of award for it, like an Emmy for Thomas Gibson.

Ok, I think I made up for my absence, I'll stop ranting :)

A cold from the fire!

Two nights ago there was a huge fire that went on on three hills and arrived near our house. There were ashes on our terrace and I could actually see the fire very close, too close.
So we evacuated, which might sound easy, but trust me it isn't. We had to take the laundry inside, take all the curtains that were on the terrace off, turn everything off and take out all the plugs in the house. We turned the gas off and closed all the windows. We dressed in clothes that were heavier than usual, cause the wind was strong and cold. And we each packed a bag, not with clothes, but other stuff. My bag already had most of the stuff I needed, I just threw in my laptop and cell phone, and the money. Then we went down the street with other people who live close to us.
We checked the fire that continued advancing towards our houses for hours. We thought we had to go sleep in the other house we own in the town next door, although I refused to leave until I was sure the fire wouldn't have touched our house. But after some time the fire got far enough that we could at least come back in the house without being intoxicated. Anyway my sister and I spent most of the night on our terrace checking the fire until we thought it was safe for us to go to bed.
And this is when the cold comes in. You see, although our terrace is protected by two walls, the wind was so strong and bone chilling that hit meright in the face when I went to check on the fire. So today I woke up with my chest and throat hurting so much that everytime I breathe or swallowI feel pain.

And there is really one thing I wish I could change about that night. I just wish that the bastard that started the fire would have died while he was at it!

Annabel Lee by Matthew Gray Gubler

Hey guys I just stopped by to suggest you to listen to this wonderful poem from Edgar Allan Poe with the amazing voice of the supermultitalented Matthew Gray Gubler. On season 4 of Criminal Minds JJ recited a quote from this poem.
It just came on my mind tonight during the weekly criminalmindsitalia chatroom so I'm taking advantage of this post to thank the girls there to for having prompted me to remember it :)

Here's the link, I'm not sure you'll get the video through this post so better be safe...

Busy and confused...

Hey guys,

yes I'm still alive!
Sorry, I know it's been a long time, but a got thrown in real life a bit too much for my liking and I just had the time to check for fanfics updates and news, no time at all to write something on my lj or the forum... what a mess!

Anyway now I'm back, and since Criminal Minds season 4 got to an end, a very angsty end, I'm ready to start my quest this weekend... and I'm going to need everyone's help to get it done.

So with this in mind I'll leave you people now and I'll post something this weekend.

Hugs,
Nina

Criminal Minds: A Shade Of Grey


Hey guys! I know I'm incredibly late for this one, but I got really busy. :(

Let me just start with this! Either they are going to give us some GREAT AMAZING AWESOME MG before the end of the season or they totally lost their minds!!!

Anyway, besides the once again unbelievable lack of MG (damn, I'm gonna start to copy this sentence since I use it on every discussion!), I loved this episode!
I loved that the contribution from the team was equal.
I loved when they split and cornered the people involved in the crime (the detective and the family).
And I absolutely loved Morgan's and Prentiss' reactions when they find the child's body, you could hear Emily's voice crack from emotion! Great job Paget!!!
All in all one of the best eps. And that's a great achievement since it didn't have any MG at all!
 
Now it's a good thing we won't have anymore breaks before the end of the season so I'm really looking forward to watching a new ep, hopefully with some good MG! :)

Morgan/Garcia shippers' group on Facebook!

Hi everyone!

I've got a surprise for all those who watch Criminal Minds and ship Morgan and Garcia. I created a new group on Facebook to gather all MG shippers, "Morgan/Garcia shippers: the Wednesday night girls".  I'll post there episodic discussions, pictures and links to videos and you are all invited to do the same joining this group! I hope we can gather enough people to maybe one day make the producers realise that they should really get them together on the show. I think it would be one of the best gifts ever made to the fans!

So I hope I'll see you all on "Morgan/Garcia shippers: the wednesday night girls" !!!!!! :)

Yet another tragedy

Here I am again. I decided I would write something about what happened last night in centre Italy. The earthquake was terrible and has been felt in Naples too. I haven't felt it, but I guess it's only because I was sound asleep.
Sadly I got kind of used to this scenario, because even though I'm only 22 I remember the earthquake in 2002. I was at school and I felt it and still remember every bit of it, as I remember the little tremors when I was a child. I also remember my parents' memories of 1980's earthquake and what it destroyed!
My thoughts go to the poor souls that have left us, to all the people who lost their dear ones and have nothing left, to all of those who are still fighting to get out of the rubble and to all those people who are working around the clock to help.

I'm worried

Hi guys!

This week CM has been a rerun so I was waiting for some nice spoilers for the best show ever, BUT I only got bad news. I mean, I went to the criminalmindsfanatics blog and found out that because of this damned economic crisis CBS has fired five writers and is thinking of maybe cutting on the cast!!!! WHAT!!!!!???? Are they totally gone out of their minds!? You can't cut the best cast ensemble on tv!!!!!! You simply can't!!! And if they keep on cutting writers who's gonna be there to write the lines???!!!! I mean, if you want to do some economy then don't hire famous actors as guest stars!!! As much as we love to watch them on the show, I'm sure everyone would understand given the motive!

Plus, why don't they get rid of that Lynch character!!!!!!!!! He's such a cliché it's almost embarassing to watch him on this show!!!!!! I mean, I have nothing against the actor, actually I liked him a lot on BTVS, but c'mon guys he's ablosutely not believable as a character, he's just been placed there as Garcia's boyfriend and, poor Penelope, she could do soo much better!!! *hints*

So I guess I put it all here. Sorry if I offended anyone, it wasn't my intention. I just tried to express my opinion and I needed to vent!

In the next days I'll try and write again not only about Criminal Minds, but, you know, that's my obsession ;)

Last but not least I'd like to send a HUGE THANK YOU to scoob who wrote a wonderful fic for me. Girl you totally rock! Everytime I think you do perfect you do better! Thanks, thanks and again thanks!!!

Criminal Minds: House On Fire

Hi everyone!

This time I'm only 2 days late, not bad! :)

I loved this episode!!! I loved the story, the role Garcia played in it, Hotch and Garcia confrontation and finally that MG banter that was SO missing, even though it wasn't so much because she wasn't in the mood! I hope we can get more of that in the next ep.

I was so sorry for what happened to the unsub, for the way he was treated. I mean, I obviously don't justify at all his crimes, but I understand his anger, because I live in a small town too and it doesn't matter which part of the world you live in, small towns are all the same, I could totally see the same thing happen in my hometown...

Past this I absolutely LOVED  Garcia crossing the line!!! She kicked the local police chief and local doctor's asses!!! Go Garcia! I loved that Hotch was trying to stop her and tell her to back off but the further she went on with what she found out the more he let her talk. I liked the fact that they showed the team's reactions to Garcia's outburst and to what she found out and then later try to calm her, specially Morgan, when she was worried that Hotch would have been mad at her.

I loved Hotch pushing Garcia to do something she had never done before. Considering the fact that there were so many victims in a small town and everyone had a certain type of connection with each other, being the one to gather information firsthand, Garcia was the only one who could have found the unsub. And I liked the fact that Hotch was there for her in the end, just like he or Gideon or Rossi have been there in the past for the others when they took the case hard. It was just another confirmation of the fact that she is a part of the team.

And YES they indeed are back!!! The best couple ever in the tv industry has finally showed us a bit of their famous lovely spicy banter! I totally loved the way Morgan greeted Garcia on the phone! "Hey, how's Miss Smart and Sexy doing today?" Oooh we really missed that! And I loved that he was the one to stop her guilt talk and soothe her and talk her back to the case.

Ok so I guess you guys got it, I totally loved this ep!
It's a shame that we have to wait 2 weeks for next one, then other 2 weeks for another one :( 
But hey I can always make up with it watching the 3rd season's dvds :) I'm going to buy them next week *bounces*

Criminal Minds: Omnivore

Hi guys, I know I know I'm so late for this one, but I've been quite busy. So let's talk about this week's Omnivore a bit, shall we?

Well, being a Hotch centric episode it couldn't have been less than a great episode. Add that it ends with suspence and the feeling that maybe the unsub is gonna come back like in No Way Out (hopefully with better consequences) and you have one of the best episodes of the season so far.

I liked Rossi talking Hotch out of feeling guilty and the banter at the end of the conversation.
I liked seeing Reid back in action.
I liked the idea of Morgan getting tackled just because I thought it would have finally got us some good MG, but NOTHING! Seriously guys! How's that even possible?! At least they were together watching the news at the end *sighs*

Anyway it was a great ep except for the LACK of MG!
And I'm so looking forward for next week's ep. We'll finally see Garcia in the field! YAY! And wait... I watched the promo, are they in danger? Why does she say "I wanna go back to cyberspace" in the end? Well I guess we're gonna have to wait for that :)

Til next ep!
Oh and we want MG!!!

Criminal Minds: Demonology

Yesterday I watched Demonology but wasn't able to post this so here i am now.

Except for the extreme unacceptable lack of MG *sighs* it was a wonderful, wonderful episode.

Great way to show us glimpses of Prentiss' past (now we can understand more of her previous behaviours) and they treated the exorcism thing without being too scary, I think.
The thought of the father being there holding his son and watching him die left me disgusted towards that character.
The exorcism thing were no news to me, as I posted in the comm discussion, but I was relieved that, as I said, the ep wasn't too scary. I mean, in terms of paragon, Lucky was much scarier to me without showing much on the video, because of what the words suggested.
And watch that! Rossi and Morgan had a similar conversation on Lucky, indeed!
I loved the team's different point of views: they all had different opinions and different reactions, but they all agreed to one thing, protecting their team member, like family. I totally loved this ep!

But wait this isn't over, because I watched next week's promo and I expected it to be full of Hotch images and then... WHAT!?!
Morgan's taken down by the unsub and we see a fight, we hear a gunshot and then Morgan's unconscious body and the unsub by his side saying "wake up, Derek, it's time to die" .......
....... I think I was spechless for minutes!
Of course we know he isn't going to die and to that soo many of us sigh in relief. But man, I really hope this is gonna give us some serious MGmoments, please!!! They practically got us craving them since the season premiere, which BTW indicated so towards the opposite direction!
Maybe they'll give us some next week. We can only hope!
One thing I know for sure. Omnivore is gonna be one of the best episodes, it's gonna be great! I mean, Hotch centric story and Morgan's attacked!!! It has to be great!

Wow, I really enjoyed writing this. I think I'm gonna do it next week, too. Now I'm off for some breakfast ;)

ciottolina e bambam, pebbles

Free to go out!

Well my darlings, I finally managed to get out of home even though is freezing cold down here.
Next week I'll be able to go around looking for a job. Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky and find something :)
All in all this week wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Plus, now I'm translating a fanfic for IsisIzabel and I'm soon going to post it on the italian forum of Criminal Minds *bounces* and I really hope it will be the first of many...

P.S.  I'm constantly receiving messages from people who wish me a happy women's day (I hope this is how it's called in English). Now it is not my intention to disrespect the memory of what happened this same day many years ago, because that tragedy should never be forgotten. BUT I do want to say this. I don't think we should save one day to celebrate just women, one to celebrate fathers, one to celebrate mothers etc. Maybe if we would consider everyone equal we wouldn't need to save just one day to celebrate each "category", we could celebrate every woman, father, mother etc. by respecting them everyday. But this is only my wish, the rest is up to you...

Wow my P.S. is longer than my post, mmmh...

In the waiting room

Tonight Criminal Minds is going to be a rerun and us fans need to wait until next week for another episode (specifically us MG shippers need to wait til next week and hope for some more interaction)...
Plus, the weather here sucks, I got a bad cold and flu and I'm so sick and in a very bad mood, because I'm currently looking for a job  and being stuck in bed isn't really helping! :(
So what do I do? I guess there isn't much more I can do other than waiting for a change...
