And I believe in reinvention

I have been absolutely horrible at both checking my flist or updating this journal lately. Um. Oops.

Partially because I have been mostly crazy dull, or away, and when I haven't been crazy dull or away, I've been dealing with family sadness, which sucks and you all shouldn't have to read me talk about that any more than you already do if you're following me on Twitter. Also partially because I seem to be getting sidetracked by other online things a LOT lately.

But! Getting back into the swing with good stuff I hope, starting with Saturday, when my parents are coming up for a BBQ and I do believe we are getting a new kitten (name is tentatively Paige) and so, I show off what I already have elsewhere, but AWWW.

( KITTY! )

I'm bored with revision and I feel pretty rough today, so DISTRACTION.

Which in this case, means mini PHOTOSPAM time! I haven't done this in a while. Too much work, too little decent internet, etc.

Anyway. This time we've got Fandom related, avant garde photography, pretty views, and... other things that simply entertain me. La.

( A little bit of everything, all rolled into one )

And now, I go back to studying for my finals. T MINUS TWO WEEKS. D: D:

Okay. Before I forget. It's THAT time again! fandomhigh Summer applications are open!

The fact velocityofsound talked me into this game three and a half years ago and I'm still there has to say something, right? Something GOOD.

From the extra encouragement side I can but point you at a couple of recent shoutouts of love. Gremlins, and zombies and voodoo. We've had a busy couple of weeks.

I know I still have a few roleplayers and fic writers on my flist who I haven't tried to drag into this awesome crack yet!

*tempts to the dark side*

(One day I will have a life worthy of a real update.)

Snagged from half the flist. Look at me distracting myself from writing my dissertation!

( That meme thing! )

One day I will do a proper update. Probably when I have something to say that can't be summed up in 'Oh God, make this semester be over already!'.

So, since everyone else seems to have done it, and I just love to be a lemming...

Give me a character of mine and I will list for you their:

( QUESTIONS! )

I... may or may not actually get around to this before I go to bed.

A Happy Birthday to ladybug218!

( Caaaaake! )
You gave me an excuse to stop being lazy and actually post something.

(Yeah, in other news, flist: I am still alive, even if I never update.)

I meant to post about this the other day, then totally forgot. I'm lame.

Anyway, those of you on my flist last year, might remember I did the Birmingham Race for Life event. I couldn't walk without pain for about a week afterwards, but it was totally worth it.

Well both jakoby and I went and signed on again this year. In case you weren't aware, it's a yearly all female run with events all across the UK. All the proceeds going towards Cancer Research UK, one of those charities I'll always support after going through it all with my Mum over the years.

So, here would be my requisite sponsor me? bid (yes, totally went with reusing the username they gave me automatically last year from the email I signed up with, shhh).

This year, I even intend to TRAIN. A little bit... Maybe. I said this last time, and did nothing, so we'll see how that works out.

Anyway, YAY FUNDRAISING.

I am on a mission to waste time today. It's a Monday. I blame that. Sooo:

( THAT ICON MEME )

(and hush up, FH IS TOTALLY A FANDOM)

I have real live speedy broadband internet, and heating, and my double bed back, and by god it is GLORIOUS.

And, my first week back consists of one lecture. Next Friday.

*flops*

The things you discover thanks to the BBC.

Apparently, the end of Eastenders coincides with a dramatic increase in power demand in England. It happens nowhere else in the world. Only England.... because 50,000-odd kettles get switched on as the credits roll.

I have no explanation for why this tidbit amuses me so much. It just really, really does.

And it is is Christmas day over here, so while I have the time, computer access and presence of mind, here's wishing you all a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS/HOLIDAY/WHATEVER THE HECK ELSE.

You're all awesome and deserve it.

I imagine I will be spending the day eating and getting drunk with the neighbors. Not a bad way to spend it, I say!

Oh, and I have no holiday themed icons, so you're stuck with highfives. Woo.
