I find it faintly disturbing that my very first post of the new year was a frantic cry for academic help. Well, hopefully it is prophetic of the Year to Come -- the academia bit, I mean, not the frantic cry for help. Anyway, it turns out that essays are really fun!, especially when they're simultaneously very fannish and very academic. In fact, ( Read more... )

So, yesterday may have been The Best Day Ever.

For one thing, I got to sleep and nobody woke me up to make me go somewhere. Even when somewhere is an all-day Lord of the Rings film marathon, bed is still a wonderful place. And Saturday tradition dictates that the morning is to be spent in bed with coffee and Weekend Edition and maybe a book, ( Read more... )

So, yesterday was deeply weird. Not because of spur-of-the-moment crazy plans (yes, it really, really was spur of the moment; I think I just had to go and do it before I talked myself out of it): rather, because of The Coffee.

Just a note, if you're planning to drink three cups of coffee in quick succession, take a step back and don't. You will be ( Read more... )

YOU GUYS I JUST STARTED SOMETHING COMPLETELY INSANE PLEASE REASSURE ME THAT I HAVEN'T LOST IT.

...In which I sing for my supper. Pretty much literally. Except for the supper part, because while I may be broke, at least I haven't left home yet, so my parents feed me as they always have.

There's an introduction. I got fed up with saying I was going ( Read more... )

Today I was attacked by my own bedroom.

Sometimes I have these really stupid impulsive ideas. At about eleven thirty tonight, the stupid idea was: My glasses have been missing for a couple of weeks. I am sure they slipped into the terrible jungle that is under-the-bed and I will find them in two minutes if I actually look instead of shoving my hand ( Read more... )

I am beginning to feel as though I have done Evy's vampire wrong, because he isn't doing anything, either in what I've written thus far or in my head. I mean, except for this one flight of fancy, wherein I wondered if maybe Mr Caruthers gets misguidedly jealous of the vampire cos he and Evy are kind of secretive and she trusts him and stuff, and ( Read more... )

The most glorious mess of a thunderstorm just roared over the hills -- all blinding rain and howls of thunder and the thick scent of sweat and dust rising, expelled, from the earth. The sky's been green. I had to light all the candles I could and shrug into my white lace skirt (to go with, you know, my folkloretastic Vampires Beware t-shirt...), ( Read more... )

Talked to parents about The Great Escape last night; it went both better and worse than I expected, but the best part is that it's over and I don't have to think about it (or panic about the bit where I have to talk to people on purpose about a specific thing, which sends me into fits of terror no matter how benign the subject or how intimately ( Read more... )

Jonathan came to church with us this morning, and stayed all day, though I left at four for Alessandra's bridal shower (which was grand fun), and brought a Hannah back with me, where she & Jonathan & I watched The Curse of Fatal Death and did...stuff like this.
