Reasons To Be Cheerful
1. I went into a toy shop to look for Christmas presents and decided it would be a good idea to rearrange the Doctor Who figures so that the Doctor and the Master could stand next to each other. And if pairing-coordinated toy displays can't make me happy, nothing can.
2. Today is Oscar Wilde's 156th birthday. Happy Birthday, Oscar!
3. I now own a huge copy of To the Ends of the Earth with a beautiful cover.
4. First Men in the Moon! Why can't it be Tuesday already? I think, in the spirit of H. G. Wells, the BBC should bring Tuesday forward by a few days.
5. I am going to the London MCM Expo after all. :D I know I said that I really didn't have enough money to go, but then gargantsurprise said that if I couldn't afford it, she'd jolly well pay for me. I didn't want her to do that, so I thought of whether I could do it, and then I received payment for some illustrations, and the whole idea started to seem more feasible. So I'm, supposedly, working this to a budget. Except that I got a bit over-excited and bought tickets to see Design For Living at the Old Vic as well. (Maybe I could have a stricter budget...) Hopefully, I'm going to be in costume as Nina Einstein from Code Geass. Those of you who know my opinions on Code Geass may be wondering why I am doing this. Well, it may be an awful series in general, but there are some good characters within that awfulness. And gargantsurprise, withintent and I wanted to do a group that we all knew and liked. So we're going to be Nina, Milly and Shirley. If I can sew fast enough. My back up plan is Arthur Dent. If you're going to be at the con too, look out for either this:
Or a female version of either one of these two:
And I will say, "Hullo!" and smile inanely at you. :3
6. I applied for a proper, paid job at the Tate St. Ives (as a 'visitor assistant'). There's no saying whether I'll even get an interview at this point, but let's hope!
7. I have lots of things that I could put here, but I can't think of any one thing in particular to interest you. (As if the other things were interesting...) I just wanted to finish here because I like the number seven.
