I hate real life...
So, myself and laligin went to the Hub. Shiny. Had a good time. I got my photo taken with Naoko Mori, who is quite huggable.
I also have a Tosh bear, which amused her greatly when I brought it to the photo shoot.
We got back to the flat Monday afternoon - it's reading week for us this week - and I stayed up late because I've not been able to for the past four days and messed around on the net and posted a piece of Merlin fic that I wrote while we were away at around two in the morning.
The next day I woke up with my alarm at nine and lay there half asleep until about 9.40, when I got a call from my mum, telling me that my Granddad, who has lived with us since I was three months old, had gone into hospital, currently catatonic, and wasn't expected to come out again. I was told their was no point in me coming up there (120 miles on the train) and that I should try to carry on as normal.
I cried. I cried lots and lots.
I went out without having anything to eat or drink and wondered around town for about two hours. I bought some nice stuff cheap from GAP, which saw me crying in the changing rooms and then playing Tetris for a little while to try and stop crying.
I bought about four pounds' worth of chocolte on the way back and dumped my stuff in my room, cried hysterically on the floor for a bit, and went through and told what had happened.
Mum phoned again at about five to say that he'd gone.
The funeral's on Monday. I'm being picked up on Saturday.
We went swordfighting today and while I was okay in the morning by the afternoon I was in a really black mood, not helped by the small children who were they having a great time with their grandparents.
We got back, went to a lecture on lost civilizations, and when we came back found that laligin's guider had died at twenty-six due to a gall bladder infection.
We've decided on balance the Hub 2 would not be a good idea.
Just want to say thanks to everybody who commented on Unbreakable - they did make me feel a bit better while all this was going on, and I'm really glad you liked it.
I'm distracting myself with the internet as much as possible and am not looking forward to going home where I'll be without it. I'm trying to write and draw a lot too, so don't be too surprised if there's suddenly a lot of random stuff appearing up here.
