1. I am allergic to the sun. I was always half-joking when I said that before, and I've always said that. But this weekend I went to my cousin's beachfront wedding, burned right through a fuckton of sunscreen (nothing new), and now I am all rashy everywhere I burned (this has never happened before). Which is sun poisoning, apparently, or to be medically correct, PLE - polymorphous light eruption. Which just means that I am allergic to the sun. And apparently those Claritin that that useless doctor told me to take for my throat problems (which WEREN'T ALLERGIES) may come in handy after all.
2. Cousin's wedding was awesome, but upon returning to campus I could feel the stress crashing down like a physical, tangible thing. It hurt. This is probably not helping the rash.
3. I want to draw things, but can't compose. This is just like my desire to write coupled with my inability to plot. Damn it, brain.
4. I read stuff for research today that made me want to devour all the the classic sci-fi books ever written at once. All of them. In my brain. Now. God... I'm so excited for when I'll be able to read again, with no strings attached. :/
5. Doctor Who episode "The Beast Below" was probably good, I'm just finding it difficult to look at it objectively because the Emo McSpacewhale plot feels so overdone to me right now. But I spent almost 6 months last year creeping through China Mieville's second Bas-Lag novel, The Scar, which is basically a 500K-word epic version of that same plot. Also, Farscape, Torchwood, Discworld have all done ii... yeah, it's nothing new.
6. Some more song lyrics that are stuck in my head as being fandom-related, okay? "Can't Let It Go," Goo Goo Dolls. (Why do so many breakup songs work for Tony talking to Steve during Civil War? Oh dear.)
"I was your anger, you were my fear.
And now that it's over, of course it's so clear
That you were no angel and I was no sin.
...
And maybe my intentions have been misunderstood -
I know you feel so beautifully wronged...
Can't we try to win this peace?
'Cause we're never going to win this war."
Oh, Tony. *wibble*
7. I think I am going to vomit if I think about the fact that I'm graduating in a month for one more second. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
8. I'm sleepy.
