Back home and reasonably unpacked. Even more convinced my father is an idiot. How can a bloke who's refused to work in the UK for 14 years now be convinced that immigration is sucky and bitch about the...now I'm just knackered, so I'm going to do *nothing* this evening (apart from read Eclipse, because I hate myself). I can barely even type this without a severe amount of typos. More than normal, even
Two things I said today in a presentation I did at a meeting: "Uzbekistan is also rated exceptionally poorly for human rights and democracy, and is therefore not the sort of place where you'd take a..." "Post-Soviet era Russia's attempts at economic reform left it suffering from high levels of inflation, therefore it would have cost far more than tuppence to feed the birds." Yes, really
I am tired . I was up until 1:30am writing fic, because I really wanted to write. And so today was kind of a struggle. That said, it was also my leaving do. Well, leaving mean in a pub. Which was fun...money in < money out. Also, if anyone wants to, then: Request any fic of mine and I will provide you with a commentary/annotations, like a DVD extra. I always like to ramble about stuff, after all
Oh, I love life. My landlord just visited, since I'm moving out on Sunday. *Apparently* I owe him £400 rent. I don't know the exact amount, but I was expecting it to be closer to £50. Tomorrow is...of the Sequel o' Squee ( jabberwockypie 's suggested nickname for the sequel to the fic o' doom). In 3k words, the Universe o' Doom (as in, both TSoT and sequel) will be 100,000 words long.
Thanks to the genius of ginamak , I can now experience New Orleans in the summer. Unfortunately, it involved finding a sauna that will let me enter it fully clothed and carrying several cocktails...third night in a row and I still haven't remembered to take a torch once .) Now I'm off to bed, since I have a headache. At twenty five to midnight, this is the earliest I've been to bed in a while
To anyone who thinks clumsiness is an adorable not-fault: TRY FALLING DOWN THE STAIRS AT HALF SEVEN IN THE MORNING. OW. *Is limping, can't lift much with left arm and can't look to the left* *Is also...have hit my head.) (Also, the thing I was most worried about was becoming a poster child in my company's Don't-wear-high-heels campaign. Yes, we really have one. Yes, it is as bad as it sounds.
alexiscartwheel : I got your letter! Thank you! I have stuff to post this weekend. I write stuff, but I am *so* bad at actually getting to the post office. That said: SNAIL MAIL PEOPLE , I love...I may have just suddenly decided I like Paris Hilton. "I'll see you at the White House, bitches." Her energy policy actually makes sense as well! XD It's like my world is falling down around me
I'm off to London today! :D I shall keep my eye out for aliens and be back on Sunday afternoon. Well, I may be back before then because I'll have my phone and LJ is far too compelling. If I never return, I may well have been eaten by a giant spider (*is a temp, after all*). *SMOOCH*
I am so clever I just deleted my own post. Yes, even with the warning LJ brings up. Fortunately, I type all long posts in WordPad, so it still exists. 1) I may or may not have gone slightly barmy. This...D Donna: Shut up, you turnip, and let me go so I can breathe! Doctor and Rose: *SMOOCH* Opal: What do you mean that's only one of the Doctors? *Sticks fingers in ears* LALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU
Hard work and I do not go together, it must be said. However, I am kind of awesome at meeting deadlines. I will expand or contract the time it takes me to do work so I meet the deadline. Which means...that, my friends, deserves a freaking MEDAL. *Uncrosses eyes and goes back to writing* (Also, on the writing front, in seven days I've written 25k. Would anyone care to remind me what sleep is like?
