OH BOY
So, it takes this to make me update.
I'm in the apple store in Covent Garden, waiting for my genius bar slot. My stupid clicky bar bellow the touch pad has finally given up the ghost. It's been dying for a while, but it totally crapped out on me today (thankfully after I'd finished writing my essay but not before I'd printed it out :S), and got stuck on 'click' thus RUINING MY LIFE. Luckily there was one slot left today so I jumped on the bus and ran over. Because I'm about 1/4 of my way through yuletide and this is KILLING ME.
I'm on their flash macbook pros atm and I want one, obviously, but I don't have my usual crap to hand (and gmail is letting me sign into gchat but not gmail??? NOT PLEASED), so, shock horror, I'm updating. Apparently only to rant about my misery.
That has been rather a theme lately. Not abject, just low boil, pop up at random moments Hatred of everything. Mostly this is brought about by ohgodfinalyear and whatdoIdonext. I don't really have an answer, but I think I have an idea? It's a silly idea and involves leaving the country some more. If not now, when? But there are some things going on down in Australia, that I think I'll get on, while the UK sacrifices its young people on a giant bonfire to keep the Tories warm through the effing Snow apocalypse.
Various life updates: I didn't finish nano this year. I was writing about Japan, and it caused me pain, so I layed off that. I have been making up by writing a monster of a Yuletide (in my first year) which has consumed my brain.
As has Sarah Jane Adventures because hot damn do I love me cracky kids sci-fi. It's caused me some emotional pain, too. Because that's how I roll. But it's been pretty good to have some of my Issues poked, and forced to be worked through. I think it's doing good! It's very much all a Turning Point feeling atm. I can definitely mark off 2006 as my last crazy year like this (except I was more out to lunch then. I'm working hard not to be like that now?). Trying not to make the same mistakes. Har har.
I have been procrastinating with my dissertation, naturally. But I have actually done some, and have a giant pile of reading for the hols. I am trying to just throw myself into this, and make it my project. There's a lot I want to do, even though it's not quite the thing I was hoping to write. With this at least I can get the whydidn'tIdolit voice to shut up. Maybe.
Bit of a lonely christmas this year, just me and mum. But out last in London together. She is officially moving to Wells, which is a west London suburb in Somerset. Close to Bath and Glastonbury. Moving to a v swish nice house with an Aga. All change.
Well. Maybe next year I'll update more? Perhaps?
