I should be asleep, or studying, or maybe both, but it's just not happening. Class starts in a few hours, Robin's been asleep for awhile now, and yet here I am, fixed in front of the computer screen, typing away. Been looking over various friends' LJs and realizing just how far out of touch I've become with alot of people who mean quite a bit to me ( Read more... )

You know, it's moments like this, sitting alone in the library, surrounded by people, that I realize how much life has changed in the past three years. Meh. Anyway, not much happening at the moment aside from the usual grind. While there's only a small hillock of paperwork to do this time around, it seems to be the importtant type. That, and I'm ( Read more... )

Essays every which way...I don't know how I'm going to get all of them done. Anyone got a spare skull? Mine's about to collapse.

It's been a good weekend. A really good weekend. Back in Cardiff on Valentine's Day, but got to spend the last few days with Robin and wander about with her. If nothing else, we discovered that St. Albans, in addition to having a passable downtown for an afternoon's wandering (missed the cathedral due to bus times - next visit!)has a rather nice ( Read more... )

Finally, another update. The intervening months have been pretty decent, all things considered. Christmas was surprisingly peaceful, considering the amount of familial angst that got thrown around last year. Managed to track down various family and friends, exchange gifts, renew contacts, yadda, yadda, yadda, good time had by all. Finally got to ( Read more... )

Oh, that's not a good sign...

Miraculously, the flight over to Wales and the arrival went well - no lost luggage, minimal sleep deprivation (what's 30 hours of consciousness, after all?), decent food and fellow passengers, and best of all, no explosion and flaming death following by a 30,000 foot plunge into the frigid Atlantic. Set up in Talybont South and should have ( Read more... )

Okay, so it's been a few months. Suffice it to say that the rest of the summer was relatively uneventful and lazy. Classes were finished, essays written, French spoken and passed (take that, Foreign Language Department!). Managed to start fencing with the SCA, which was awesome. It will be moreso when I learn not to parry swordthrusts with my face ( Read more... )

Ever notice how one conversation can change your entire perspective? A few random observations and anecdotes, and one of the few things I was sure of in my life conceptually inverted itself. If I was in the mood to, I'd resent my personality for shifting so damn quickly. Suffice it to say, if I get this right, I might finally have a little familial

Does anyone out there know a nonlethal, ingestible poison that could be surreptitiously added to either dry foods or bottled liquids? In the next week or so I'm going to try and condition my roommate to stay away from any food he hasn't bought, and as I doubt that saying anything to him will have any effect, something more drastic will likely be ( Read more... )
