This afternoon I was working on my essay on Autism Spectrum Disorder while the cats snoozed next to me, and in the living room Mark/

One of my SCA friends added me on LJ, and from his LJ I've been adding a couple of other SCA friends as well ( Read more... )

Today I broke up with my boyfriend.

I was fine for most of the day, only shedding a couple of tears once or twice, and then I got home and my housemates hugged me and brought out this huge stack of chocolate and then I started crying. Partly because I'd been doing my best to keep myself together all day while at uni and in front of other people and ( Read more... )

Okay, so it's already a few days into 2014, but I saw this on a friend's Dreamwidth and it looked fun.

01. What did you do in 2013 that you'd never done before?So many things that I can't list them all here. I have been more outgoing and energetic though. Hmm, I wore a corset, I seriously planned to ask someone out, I started wearing tank tops in ( Read more... )

I am just so proud of my 12th-century bliaut. :D

I organised the College of St Basil's yearly Newcomers' Feast last night (to welcome all the new students who've joined us) and it was a few days of nonstop frantic cooking and sewing to get the food and the dress ready in time.

And some mysterious grazes on my legs despite the 4 pairs of pants I was wearing at the time. I really need to invest in a breastplate; hopefully I can find one that fits.

I'm using ( Read more... )

It's 12.30AM on the 21st of June and I should be going to bed soon (technically I AM sitting in bed...), since I have a flight at 3.55pm to return to Singapore.

It's weird. I've been in Australia for only five months, and only four on my own (my parents stayed here until the end of February) but it feels like so much longer. There've been clubs ( ( Read more... )

I'd often heard of studying or memorising something until you could recite it in your sleep, but I always assumed it was just an exaggeration, a figure of speech. Then yesterday morning I found myself dreaming of a stratigraphic diagram with an intrusion (aka a drawing of the different layers of soil/earth, with a small pit or something dug down ( Read more... )
