Ever since my lecturer described the Canaanite goddess, Anat, as 'a bit like a moody teenage girl', I can't see her as anything else.

thank youuu ♥ ♥ ♥ *HUG*

I'm writing my dissertation on the association between Canaanite deities Qudshu and Reshep and the perpetually horny Egypt god, Min XD It's fascinating... Dunno if I can write a whole 10,000 words about it though ;3;

What are you doing about university, by the way? ^w^ You just finished school, right?

AS FOR JAPAN
YESSS omg
I mean... maybe.
My best friend is studying in Toyko for a year as part of her degree and I'm planning on spending just under a month with her in January~! I need to work everything out properly, though, and see if there's anywhere near her I can stay cheaply. Or if the university has accomodation for visitors.
You should go too :D EVERYONE SHOULD GO. It'll be one huge livejournal party in Tokyo!

10,000 words askdjfkasjdf i can barely write more than 1,000 but good luck!! i'm sure you'll find enough to fill it ;3; it does look really interesting whoa i love learning about religions/mythology/cultures, maybe i'll poke around more when i have time *-* thank you for the link!

ah i'm in the middle of my final school exams (which is why i'm up at 1:30am obviously) but idk about uni orz" i applied for biomed but i'm not really interested in it/anything else so i'm a little lost...! such is life. :')

Good luck with your exams!! *pushes luck your way* NOT THAT YOU NEED LUCK, THOUGH. Because you're smart! But luck helps XD

How many more exams do you have? I'm sure you'll do really amazingly~ AND GO TO SLEEP! It's 2:30pm here and I already want to sleep OTL

Biomed? Wow. Sounds difficult ;3; Is there anything else you've had your eye on, course-wise? I still wonder whether Egyptology was the right choice but, when I get all geeky and excited about ancient history and Egyptology stuff, I realise that it definitely was XD;; Dunno what I'm gonna do after university, though. I can't believe I'm going to graduate in around six months.

;3; Ahhhh, yeah, flights are seriously expensive. I've found lots of cheap places to stay but the flights ARGHHHHH whyyyy so expensive?? I went to Japan with my family when I was younger but I can't remember the flights costing soooo much. Maybe because I wasn't the one paying back then....
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR TRIP TO JAPAN! Do you have photos??

SHE'S SO PRETTY. bloody BUT PRETTY. I like your style~ Anat in particular is rendered in a very lovely way~ You have me reaaally interested in this haha. I'm more familiar with Greek mythology, so the possibility of learning a whole 'nother culture's mythology is pretty cool!
