I need some happy-related icons...
This entry has no real purpose, I have nothing in particular to say, except it's been a while since I've updated, and I've learnt through experience that the less you update, the less you have to say, because trying to sum-up the last say, two months or whatever of your life is just too fucking hard. Which is why this journal annoys me when I'm trying to find out the dates of things and shit by looking back on it, because most of the major events are skipped over because there's just too much to say. (And yes, you did hear right, I have such a bad memory that I have to use my livejournal to recall when/how things in my life occurred)
So,
1. I have a new obsession! The T.V. show 'Torchwood'. Any of you in the UK will already know what this is, most likely, but for those who don't it's a Doctor Who spin-off which is about a group of people whose job is to investigate and manage this thing called the 'Rift' IN CARDIFF (OMG SO MUCH LOVE FOR THE WELSH-NESS) which spits aliens and time-travellers and crap out into the world. It's sort of X-Files meets Buffy or something. AND, a very cool theme is that the writers deliberately decided to make sexual-preferences a bit of a non-issue, so like, most of the main characters have shown interest in both genders by like, the 4th episode. It's neat. [By the way, if any of you people don't know what Doctor Who is... FOR SHAME. go and find out. I don't watch it but it's like, bricks. Bricks which your life and concepts of the universe is built upon. No one should live without having seen one episode, at LEAST of Doctor Who. No one should ever be able to see a trashcan on wheels without having some tiny, subconscious, primordial thrill of fear.] Anyway, I think it's bringing out my hidden Englishness quite a bit, it's funny. I started talking with a Welsh accent yesterday then had to laugh at myself. (Had a bit of a laugh! WHEE!)
2. Uni is HARD! I had forgotten. There is so much WORK. *stares at text-books in horror* I don't know how I was able to be so LAZY last year, even trying a tiny bit to do well is driving me nutso, and I'm not even taking any language papers this semester. }:( Got my marks back for my creative writing paper though. A+. Sweeeeeet. Piss-easy course though, don't feel like I earned it tooooo much. Only went to about a third of the classes.
3. I'm a God-Mother! One of my friends got her baby baptised on the weekend and I'm the God-mum. Bit freaky. Nice though. The baby is cuuuuuuute!
4. My kitty is getting better! Yay!
5. Four weeks now till my parents begin their move down south. So excited! already making plans to go shopping and stuff with my Mama.
Lastly, just wanted to let people know, the draft of the next chapter of Dry My Tears is done. In all it's 34 hand-written pages of PAIN. At this point I'm still undecided about cutting it in half, so I'm just continuing to try and type it all up, then it will need editing, BUT, it's close. (really trying to get it done before the one-year mark for that one, too! -_-;;)Also started work on BTS_09 the other day, so despite CRAZY levels of busy, things are being processed. Where possible. }:/
Love love!
