Oh hey

Been a while.

I'm in my new place. It's pretty cool so far. My housemate's kind of nuts, but in a very friendly way. Reference only Jim will get: She's sort of like an older Nic. She's also not here a whole lot, either, between work and spending time at friends' places or her parents'. So I pretty much have the place to myself for the majority of the time. I'm all unpacked, all my figures and books and CDs and consoles and the rest are neatly put away or on display.

It was weird the first night because of the strange noises and the strange room. I'm settling down though. There's some demolition work going on nearby so I got woken up the first morning by the sound of creaking, twisting metal and crumbling bricks, but it was off in the distance.

You know the noise Pyramid Head makes as he drags the great knife around behind him? I pretty much got woken up by that, which was FUN.

With my new free time to do what I like I've re-read the first two Harry Potter books. I forgot how god damn cute they were. Also, the first book is weirdly like the final piece of a jigsaw puzzle slotting into place if you read it already knowing how the full story goes. And it's weird being able to understand what Dumbledore does at various points because now you know the conclusions he's come to, whereas the first time when you read them, he seemed mysterious and otherworldly because he always seemed to Know Shit, now his thought process makes sense because you have all the information he does.

I've done nothing but work this week. I pulled a night shift last night, on short notice, and it was horrible. There's a bad case of diarrhoea doing the rounds and OH GOD SO MUCH SHIT OH GOD. It was... unpleasant. Between that and the woman who took forty five minutes to get cleaned up... Yeah, fun night.

I am going to sleep so well tonight.
