In which Sky tries to think about things other than this whole goddamned situation.
• It's hard for me to update LJ when I'm frustrated with life. It's so much easier when there are good things to say. I almost wish I felt violent and angry, but I just feel sick and stupid.
• I want some "Keep Calm and Carry On" paraphernalia. Like this shirt though I'm considering a poster-or 8. This phrase could totally be the motto of my life. Also, they have band-aids-apparently called "plasters" over there, who knew? It totally took me a moment to work that one out, hah. Adorable!
• Along those same lines... I'm interested in the variants of the "Keep Calm and Carry On" phrase. I've seen "Get Excited and Make Things" in a couple places. And aramly has an icon that says "Keep Calm and Deny It All" which cracked me up. I think I've probably seen some other variants, but I haven't been able to track them down or anything. Seen any other interesting ones, guys?
• My mother has suggested that we could go to Ireland over Winter Break-she found some super awesome deal online-but I... kind of really want to go somewhere warm. Like Mexico. I'd rather go to Ireland for my next Spring Break, or even next summer. Even though that's a really long ways away. Not that we can afford to do tons of traveling, but you know.
• It was cold here today. There was lots of rain, and I actually wore a sweater and a jacket. Maybe summer is winding down? ... AHAHAHA. Yeah, right. Not for a while yet. August will still be stupidly warm, and it'll probably start cooling down in September. Which... is usually when I break out the winter gear, so I'm just going to enjoy my warmth while I can.
• I read a whole book today on the assumption that it was going to be good, and it wasn't really. I kept trying to get invested in it, but I never seemed to be able to. I was pleased to note from the author's bio that it's the first in a trilogy, so maybe something will be explained and the main character won't do things I think are stupid. I might just be curious enough to pick up the next book when it comes out. It does leave me with the question of which of my library books do I read next, though... Or do I reread some Lackey and enjoy the familiar ground? Hm.
And now, because I can feel my depression making me physically ill, I'm going to go write in my paper journal and go to sleep.
