I'm torn between going on staying...
Mar. 31st, 2003 06:19 pmElfwood has pissed me off majorly over the last few days. They told me they didn't have my last name but just now when I checked it was there, in the right place, in my private information, just not in the public info, so they hadn't even bothered to look. Not only that you have to go through the Inqusition to join and it can take up to a fortnight for new pictures to be uploaded, and Elfwood keeps breaking down ALL THE BLOODY TIME. So at the moment I'm a milimetre away from deleting my account which I filled in 30 questions for and waited a week and a half. In fact a minute ago I clicked on 'Leave Elfwood' then hit 'STOP' when I remembered how long it'd had taken me to get in. So I'm wavering. I don't know. Maybe I'll upload some more pictures.
A guy was rude to us in the library today. I've got Christine onto Greek literature and she's reading 'The Illiad' but she asked me how Helen ended up with Paris in the first place so I started explaining the whole Judgement Of Paris thing because we'd learned it in Classics. Then this guy sitting behind her said "Can you be quiet?!" and we said "Yeah, sorry," because we had been talking for about five minutes. Then the guy adds "There's no need to shout," in this PATRONISING tone of voice and if there's one thing I can't stand it's being patronised. I nearly threw something at him, and seriously considered turning my music onto full volume (which through my headphones is LOUD) but reluctantly realised it'd disturb other people so I settled for drawing daggers and hoping he'd leave before us and I could give him a nasty smirk, but he didn't. We apologised already, there was no need to piss us off! Honestly I hate people like that. If we'd been bikers in big leather jackets and chains, bet he wouldnt have said anything. And if he had we could have scared the crap out of him. *snickers* So if I ever actually become a published author, a certain patronising guy will have the piss taken out of him. In the words of Paul Bettany, "I was naked for a day, you shall be naked for eternity." Or something to that effect.
I've been reading
ladyjackyl's views on RotK and I realised she is utterly right: (beware spoilers for RotK in the next sentence) Eowyn is "given" Faramir as a consolation prize. The whole thing makes me want to read the entire trilogy over again just so I can cry at the end. I think Tolkien, incredible writer thought he was, made a bad decision there. We can't even hope Peter Jackson'll change the ending and Aragorn to Eowyn because he'll be lynched by angry Tolkien purists. *sniffs* WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO SAD?!!
I get to write about fanfiction for my Media project so I'm looking for information to take in for tomorrow. *grins* I need to get people to fill in a questionnaire on the Internet but I'm considering doing one on fanfiction as well because it'll be more fun. *smirks* "If you ever wrote LotR fanfiction would you consider pushing Arwen off a very high cliff..... if yes reward youself with a cookie...."
All Lucy's fillings fell out last night. >_< And I'm going to this dentist next week! *cries* I HATE DENTISTS! Don't make me go!! *sniffles*
I'm making another attempt at Elfwood. If it fails this time I'm giving up because I've had enough. So nerh Elfwood. *giggles8 I've just sent about three tickets then discarded them in the last five minutes when I kept remembering things I wanted to change so I think I'me getting revenge, inadvertantly. *grins*
I suddenly have the urge to play on Sleuth. I should upload it to Planet Helen actually. Ooo I wonder if I could? I'm off to try.
*waves* Keep smiling everyone,
Clo
