So, stuck without a laptop, you do a lot of reading - for me that's been rereading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (now onto the Half Blood Prince), more Grimm's fairy tales, a book on depression my friend lent me, T.S Eliot collected poems and The Watchmen, which is my first ever comic and I'm really enjoying it, 30 pages in. After that ( Read more... )

Firstly HUGE massive thanks to whoever nominated me for the Children of Time awards. I've been nominated for my first and only fic "Hold on Tightly, Let Go Lightly", so I'm delightfully shocked. I've only just sent my confirmation email so I should be on the list soon enough, not that I expect to win, lol.

Also, to let you know that faithful Wanda, ( Read more... )

The cake was a success! I will post what I made, though it was really a 'guesscipe' becauof se I kind of just dumped stuff in a giant saucepan. Though sexysexy Nigella is to thank for that:

A fuckload of sultanas, dates, mixed berries

Many handfuls of mixed peel and glace ginger

Half a tin of golden syrup

A fuckload of whisky/rum/whiterum and Baileys ( Read more... )

First and foremost, my fandom friends are amazing. Really. Thank you all ( Read more... )

November is the cruellest month.

Obama's speech was fantastic! He left me begging him to be right. He left me saying "Yes we can!" to the TV screen. He left proud to be black and ambitious and hopeful. He made me forget about unrequited love for a couple of moments. He left me close to happy tears. He left me, as a President I look to for some answers. I will listen to him, I may ( Read more... )

I should be ravenous - I've been running round today on just two cereal bars and my medication. But right now I'm So Not Hungry. I've been trying to get ready to let go of Tennant because I knew he had to leave someday and following LLL I look forward to watching all of his theatre plays for the rest of time, but hearing the news, I know that I'm ( Read more... )

Very quick post for me to go EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Becausein 9 hours I will be settling down to my first ever Shakespeare play, and my first ever Tennant play. My own little mad adventure amongst all the work and studying? It's been insane, believe me. And I'm ill. I'm going to try to strike myself out otherwise I'll ( Read more... )

Hello guys.I've managed to have some sembalance of internet by tilting my wireless adapter a certain way. This is very annoying. But soon, I'll be able to buy a new one because I'm starting a new job soon! Front of House staff at the Manchester Opera House. The only thing is that it's four shifts a week, and at least three evenings a week, and at ( Read more... )

At the moment, nowhere really feels like home. Home to me is wherever I can plug in my wireless internet. Where my stereo is set up. Where I've found the most comfortable part of the mattress to sleep in. I'm in a strange mood because everything feels temporary, and so my packing this time has been quite atrocious, and even though most of my ( Read more... )
