So, day 3 of using my time well turned more into "Trying to get my shit together to prevent nervous breakdown." Fortunately, due to 40fandoms fics being written that reminded me, I knew a way of curing myself. TO YOUTUBE. TO AFRO-KEN! I had forgotten how well Afro-Ken therapy worked. I think the interview with the creator helps. "Yes, I'm weird, I like drawing dogs with funky hairstyles and I want to go to space!" And why does the narrator hate mayonnaise? Why do all the dogs have rabbit tails? Oh Afro-Ken, I love you.
(minor breakdown was due to messing up a job application yesterday. It was a total overreaction to what happened - I didn't do a form quite right so while they got me singing my praises, they got it in the wrong box - but it was really, REALLY bad in emotional stakes, I couldn't stop crying for ages and it kept coming back to me and making me cry again and leaving me with that sick feeling in my stomach. (I suppose perhaps the reason it was so bad was that this time when I don't get the job I shall "know" it was my fault as opposed to other times when I could say "Well, there will have been tons of applications." and everyone else will know too that it was MY FAULT, as it were.) Today I woke up and just thought "Fuck." and realised that I was doing NOTHING today. Luckily, Afro-Ken helped and then I went to robert_frogg's and she was magnificent and said all the right things. I'm glad I feel like a human again, it was horrendous)
Finished Magician by Raymond E. Feist. I really can't say that I enjoyed it that much - by the end, I realised I could only remember about four of the characters and only cared about one of them - and that was one I couldn't remember! It just wasn't my kind of book at all and coupled with the entire lack of any female characters doing anything (no, shagging a sociopath does not count as doing something, nor does getting pregnant or standing round and making people fall in love with you) left it in the dirt really. It was pretty good in some ways but they were all ways that didn't suit me particularly so no, not an author I will be looking at again I don't think. Anyway, that's 72 of the Big Read done, hurrah!
