(no subject)
i don't know if i've mentioned this before, but i love how lj comments on my naturally non-social nature: 'you've only made 2 friends'. i feel gutted that they've noticed, and an overall social failure.
in other news, i am now working in an airport bar, which is open 24 hrs, and the shifts are quite bizarre, but i am enjoying myself (we don't have to clean the toilets). although my rather frazzled brain yesterday wouldn't let me get to sleep after a night shift because i kept thinking i needed to get someone a pint or a coffee. had to resort to playing yahoo games til i was tired enough not to keep thinking that we'd run out of filters again. the bad news is that they pay monthly so tay, your bday present will be late until they pay me. on the plus side, they pay pretty well, so don't have too much to worry about, and they give us one meal a day, so yay! and good safety shoes, otherwise my feet would need to be amputated by now (the end of a nine hour shift is a blissful moment, when you get to take off the damn steel-toed shoes and put your feet up. sigh)
in other other news, i got a paper in to the battlestar galactica academic conference at the end of july, so yay! twill be twenty minutes long and about anxiety of identity in the new battlestar tv series, so my days off will be spent at the library. the conference is in buckinghamshire, and i'm very excited about it all. it's going to be a full day of academic sf geekiness, and i love it! yippee!
okay, i'm off to do some research for my day of geekiness before going to Fantastic Four 2, so will hopefully update sooner than i did last time. and for the record, my 2 friends (you know who you are) should update soon as well. coz i like gossip.
yay!!
