A Glorious Moment

I got the call on one of my lazy mornings in. Well, almost all my mornings are lazy mornings in considering my work can only start once my students are done with school, i.e. in the afternoon after I've had a nice lie-in, but I digress.

A good friend called while I was looking for comfort of the Tumblr kind after watching the make-me-want-to-tear-my-hair-out season finale of Arrow. I know I used to hate it but somehow the writers have me intrigued now. In other words they've enslaved me into the 'tortured without it, frothing at the mouth for more' kind of addiction. I mean it can be crazy dramatic most of the...okay ALL the time but I just...

They have me shipping Olicity, okay? There. I said it.

They're just so cute together!! I don't know why I have such a thing for emotions that so often GO UNSAID and longing looks and angst ridden "I could never be with her/him" moments which pretty much make up all my favourite unlikely as hell couples. Exhibit A, I'm embarrassed to admit, would probably be a certain Original Hybrid and perky blond vampire.

Then there was, quite briefly (thank goodness) the Queen of Scots and the King of France's bastard son.

And now the devastatingly gorgeous CEO billionaire slash superhero and his geeky tech support slash superhero teammate. Something is quite seriously wrong with me but then again, I already knew that.

Gahhhhh THE WAY HE'S LOOKING AT HER!!!!

Anyway, they're so cute they make me want to laugh up a lung. And sometimes cry my tear ducts into dust. They were hilarious before she found out that he was the Arrow cause he kept coming to her for tech support that he didn't have.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!

Is that not the best first meet ever??

LOL let's all pretend the BS story was more bull than usual because he was under the influence. And the way he laughed...be still my beating heart. Okay it's not listening, or still.

The first time I watched this scene I had to pause so I could laugh til I didn't feel like dying from gasping for breath or choking out yet another bout of uncontrollable laughter. It went on for at least 5 minutes I'm sure.

They're really heartbreaking in Season 2 though :(

This one was when he slept with this woman who turned out to be evil. I soooo knew she was evil. She looked like she was constantly trying to sniff out a bad smell.

Okay I hated him a bit for this during the episode but then he had to go and break my heart with that speech at the end. Idiot. And in the very next episode (the writers are totally trying to kill me by overwhelming me with all these emotions I can't name) this happens and I want to kill myself but can't help watching it over and over again.

THE WAY HE KINDA SMILES AT HER WHEN HE SAYS IT'S NOTHING!!!!! *burst into tears*

Later in the same episode...

I both love and hate the way they look at each other. It's monumentally sweet and utterly heartbreaking at the same time.

Oh. Oh. Jealous Oliver.

Jealous Oliver is the BEST. Jealous Felicity was heartbreaking but jealous Oliver?? The. Freaking. Best.

So. The season finale that had me stumbling over to Tumblr for some much needed emotional support.

Obviously when it happened I started squealing (out loud). But wait, that's not all.

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME????

It was all A TRICK??

You can't DO that, okay?? Having there be no confession at all would have been better than just giving it to me freaking halfway!!

Then came the final nail in the coffin of my overload of Olicity shipping. The moment I started to seriously contemplate suicide by sobbing.

Aaaand I kill myself. Gahhhhhhh the way he looks at herrrrr!!! Just one more look...

*sigh*

There is hope though.

Okay, first of all, what is up with that beard? Even though he kinda...pulls it off.

And second of all, please tell me Season 3 of Arrow is SOON. Like two months at the most soon. Please?

Pretty please?

And wow. How I have digressed. A lot. Again.

Back to my once upon a time story that I began at the beginning of this post. So I got the call. Results were out. For finals. As in, my last final before I graduated. Uhhuh.

I had thought to myself after the paper that I didn't do too badly in the final. But in that moment with my phone to my ear and my heart racing as I scrolled down the UTAR portal, I couldn't help but offer a much too late prayer which probably got some chuckles from The Guy Upstairs. Somehow I had myself convinced that I had failed and that I would stay in UTAR forever, never passing this one crucial paper.

Then I found those fated, long-awaited words.

Status: Completion of Study.

It. Was. Glorious.

So yeah. I'm graduating!! Yayyyyyy!!!

Although I think I reacted with way more emotion to the Arrow finale. I'm gonna take some wise advise from Ronald Weasley and get my messed up priorities straight.
