Which Neil Gaiman novel do you like best, oh mighty flist?
Concentrating is HARD. Despite the poverty and the joblessness, writing out my entire job history endlessly (even though the majority is cut and pasted from other applications I have filled out) is SO BORING I could cry. And then I have to try and explain why I am fantastic which takes quite a long time, and a lot of rewriting.
This is going slowly. Although later on after my cinema trip I intend to stay up ALL NIGHT if need be to finish the next couple of applications. Although experience has taught me to wait until the morning to proofread and send because 3am does terrible things to my typing.
But I'm listening to Led Zep, which was always what I listened to whilst doing my homework as a kid, on my dad's old records or the tapes he made me from those records. I associate it with knuckling down to something and it does sort of help, weirdly enough.
I also have a Cadbury Apricot Crumble Crunch bar to eat in the cinema later. Which is exciting me because I think it is new and I haven't eaten it before and it intrigues me.
Yes.
Oh, and I'm reading Neverwhere at the moment, which is actually my first time reading a Neil Gaiman novel. Yep, that's right. I love his short stories, and enjoyed the Sandman comics I managed to get my mitts on, but I have never read his novels (I'm not counting Good Omens here, which I have read LOTS). So far I'm... not masively impressed. It's all silly names and London Underground gags and whilst that is all pretty good fun, especially seeing as I live in London, it seems to lack... depth? I have received conflicting advice too, with one person saying this is their FAVOURITE Gaiman novel and others pale in comparison, especially American Gods, which is a bit rubbish towards the end, and another person saying that this is their least favourite and that American Gods is amazing.
So I thought I'd ask you lot...
