...but I'll learn it, I'll learn it on the way.
It's been two and a half months since I was here. Yeah. I can hardly believe it either. But a lot of stuff has been squeezed into those few weeks, and I have to say that in certain ways, my time in France so far has been more educational than my two years at the University of Academe.
I came to France to teach. But the fact is, I've learnt...

Officially ancient!
Well, September 18th was the anniversary of the day that Mouse Tourmaline first blinked her eyes at this amazing universe of ours.
Specifically, I'm now 21. I know that that is considered a Very Big Thing in America, where I'm not. Over here, there's nothing to make much of a fuss about. I've already been able to vote, marry, smoke, drink and drive ( Read more... ) -
Keyo (a Pokémon fic)
This isn't new; I wrote it a few months ago. However, a couple of people have been having problems getting to it at the forum where I posted it, so I thought I'd put it here so I've got an easier way of pointing people to it.
Warning for those who haven't seen it: this fic may be a one-shot, but it's LONG. I think it's G-rated, though I'm a little ( Read more... ) -
In which I am terrible at updating, and have the inexplicable little-sister blues
Jeepers. It's been an entire month since I posted to this thing. I have got to get better at this ( Read more... ) -
I love my gym!
Some of you might know that, two weeks ago, I was terribly nervous about joining a gym for the first time. I thought I wouldn't like it or be any good at what I was doing, that everyone would look at me and see how unathletic I was. I thought I'd never be able to keep up an hour every couple of days.
Well, it's a fortnight on, and I have a ( Read more... ) -
Changing things. Afraid it won't work.
This summer, I've made a decision. If I can't be happy with myself the way I look, then something is going to have to change.
I've thought about making changes before, but that was back when I had enough to handle without giving up chocolate and ice lollies and all the other things that got me through the day. Now, I can actually make the changes I ( Read more... ) -
Love music? Don't let it die.
If you're American, I need you.
I'm in love with an online radio service. Its name is Pandora, and it can give me more than any other music player I've ever come across. Other radio stations either play a mixture of random tracks, or stick religiously to a few of my favourites. Pandora knows me, and my music tastes, better than I do. It finds new ( Read more... ) -
Oh, parents of mine. How odd you can be.
All names have been changed.
My Dad: "So, when you go on holiday with your friends, will there be anyone else there that's a couple?"
Me: "Well, there'll be me and V, and Richard and Ben."
Dad: "You and V and..."
Me: "Richard and Ben, Dad."
Dad: "Richard and Ben, Richard... and Ben... are..."
Me: "Huh?"
Dad: (after a very long pause) "...are they... ( Read more... ) -
I want opinions!
This isn't an unhappy post, despite it being my final night in this city for over a year. It's more of a reflective, even optimistic thought, although it is about something I'd like to change.
Over the past week, many things have happened. They always do at the end of a term here, and especially at the end of the year. Picnics, clearing-out days at ( Read more... )
