Sometimes sanity takes vacation, time on leave; I'm beginning to understand
Ahh, poor neglected LJ. What have I been doing to abandon you so?
Unfortunately, not much. Not in the scheme of things, really.
If you put it in a list it seems like a fair amount since I last posted. That's if you dont take in how long it's actually been and how many hours there are in a day.
This is a very convoluted way of saying I've been really fucking lazy, lately.
It's practically criminal. I'm not sure if a lot of it is because I'm ill, or still getting over being ill, rather.
Or what.
But in the scheme of doing nothing to uni work, doing nothing really fucking wins.
I have actually done some things though, like been disgustingly ill for a bit. That was fun. I had a really good night on Saturday. Started with Sarina and I going out to see Pirates 4, which was actually really good. I really enjoyed it.
Oh Geoffrey Rush, I should have known you wouldn't have signed up for a farce of a sequal, not after that utter shambles of 2&3.
Also, Johnny, brilliant as always. Penelope Cruz? Gosh dagnammit, PHOAR, please and thankyou.
I was worried. Adding the love interest is always A VERY BAD THING. This wasn't quite. it certainly wasn't as bad as it could have been and it won me over.
Then we went and had dinner, and there was sadness on the Sarina is allergic to tomato and nearly everything on this menu has tomato stage of the evening. Then we went to Laura's 21st, which was actually quite good in the end. I drank cider and quite liked it, even though I hadn't before. It went delightfully to my head and gloriously quickly, actually. There was another period of sadness with the ordering of the taxis to get home, but I did it in the end. As a whole the night combatted fairly well against the factor i wasn't actually invited. Sarina dragged me along anyway, and there was cake and glorious people.
Then there was the work times on Sunday, and I got a new phone because I have no sense of control over my finances. But I HAVE been meaning to upgrade for a while to this particular model, and I've been keeping my eyes on the prices, and the boss was desperate because we were three hundred bucks below budget for the month or something and this hasn't happened IN MONTHS DDDDD: so he did me a good deal.
AWWWW YEAH.
Then yesterday i tried to get my new card as a means of avoiding an assignment I'm actually avoiding RIGHT NOW, but that didn't happen, sadness, so then i went shopping at Borders one last time and got a few books and notebooks, BECAUSE I CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH BLANK NOTEBOOKS. SHUSH NOW. Ummm, yeah.
Also, on Monday there was the Fit Of Assignment Apathy that struck and I was at the point where I was almost willing to risk failing the subject as long as it meant I didn't have to do the assignment. The one I'm avoiding now is for the same class. WOE.
Anyway, I got it done in the end, which is the main thing.
I dragged myself to uni today. And when I say dragged i mean it, because I HATE getting up at 7am. I know there are people on my flist who have to get up at stupidly earlier times, and I dont envy you. I think you're crazy. Though, the fact of this is that I generally stay up until 2am, and my body's reached a point where even if I do TRY to go to sleep earlier it wont let me.
Therefore, 7am? HELLISH.
But on the plus side, i actually did an entire major work in one three hour class.
Motion Capture, I love you.
Seriously, if I could spend my entire degree picking things out of Adrian's head, I would.
Then After that class I went back into the BIM studio and started working on my group major project we have to present on Monday. It's going well, actually. We've had about a month or so to work on it, and our group's only done anything in class and even then we get Majorly Distracted.
But I think that's half the class. Adrian was watching clips on youtube the other day with silly music to distract us just because he could. That is my teacher. I love him a bit.
Anyway, half my group's graphic designer's, while the other half are Animator's. There's Chelsea who's the New Friend and is actually a bit shit to work with in a Group. Very My Idea Is Better orientated. but she's fun to fandom squee a bit over. Especailly Doctor Who. (HOW EFFING GOOD WAS THE DOCTOR'S WIFE. UJGDGJGADKGHDGJHJKHDGS) The point of this is to say now after a month of the Graphic Designer's doing their thing, I have a week to Animate the whole thing. FML. It's fun though. I'm actually really enjoying it again. Flash <3
Also, it was a blast in the BIM studio today. I was there and my group's actually really easy to get along with. I could actually genuinely assosciate with them/work with them if i could. Especially Ruben. He's the other Powerful Personality in the group. I quite like him.
Then there was the other girls I hesitantly made friends with last year Victoria and her group in a different timeslot for the same class and we hung out. It was actually really fun. I had a really good time today. it's a nice chance.
Also, Hercules has been super affectionate the last few days. I feel very loved. It's good.
I was cleaning yesterday and I found a box of all my old Original Fiction notes. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh man I'm SO DETAILED.
World Building. I does it.
I could actually see potential in some of it too. Even now. Or rather, especially now. Before when I was thinking it all up I was So Sure I had a winner. XD They wouldn't be winner's, but I like to think a fair amount of it would be publishable if worked at properly.
I'm trying to type up the pages so I can throw out all this random paper, but i know where my procrastination fuel is coming from now. All my old fantasy fuelled scribblings.
I guess I'm in the mood for a bit of nostalgia.
I downloaded Xena last week.
Well, I realised quite quickly where my Thing for dark hair and bright blue eyes came from. >.< Oh childhood.
Lucy Lawless though. Oh please and thankyou.
Also, Joxer the Mighty is still Amazing. I love him to bits.
I want to squish him.
Also, also on another fandom note, TWO WEEKS TO NEW WHITE COLLAR, AND I'M STUPIDLY EXCITED. The new promo's make me happy. But at the same time, Promo's LIE.
I can just tell all the juicy brilliant distrust is going to be 'solved' by the end of the first episode. LOL, JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING NEAL. BFF'S AGAIN?
BORING.
As much as I love Peter and Neal's camradery, I LIKE THE DISTRUST MORE. I want the Con Man. If I wanted a normal buddy buddy procedural, I'd watch reruns of Criminal Minds.
