Wow I have too much work to do.

[clo_again]

I was meant to do my creative writing today - a thousand words of the beginning of a story - but I haven't even been able to settle to fic recently; original stuff was so beyond me today. I'm going to have to fit it in somewhere tomorrow since my deadline is 9am Friday. I've done the easy half, which was to read a short story and write 300 words on my immediate reaction to it, now I just actually have to do the *creative* part. And then I have two novels to read for next week and two reviews to write for the paper. Because I thought hey, I should do other stuff this year! They're only 300 words though and one is on Silence of the Lambs that I can practically recite the script of, so no big hardship there. The reading, now that'll be fun.

scoobydumblonde, I had a go at demarking you wanted, sorry it's not great. -_- Will try to get the other one done probably Friday now, since I think I have something of a crazy day tomorrow.

Journal is blue, because it's getting towards winter and I wanted wintery colours. However the design now bugs me, so I'll probably fix that whenever I get time, which won't be this weekend. I swear, life has gone nuts. I did see an updated Monopoly board in town today, with modern London streets and buildings instead of the traditional ones - and Wimbledon was on it. Must have it because, awesome. Though I'm trying all ways not to go over-budget in my *first* week, so it'll have to wait.

Um. What else is new in my life? Not a whole lot. I've actually held conversations consisting of more than ten words with the new freshers lately, so that's a plus. Had our first false-alarm-fire-alarm this morning, the first of many over the year no doubt. It's got to the point where me and wolves8 wandered casually down the corridor when it went off, to get shoes, jackets and an umbrella before we even thought about running for our lives. They've been 'testing' them all over campus lately and when they go off for real in seminars, the tutors usually wince and sit there for at least four or five minutes before reluctantly deciding that it's not just a test and we should go outside.

Okay. I should go keep being productive now. I haven't done nearly enough today, considering I had the day off. I'm getting there, slowly, but not fast enough. I need to fit fic in somewhere over the next few days. -_- Maybe Friday.

edit: Also, Serenity is not in Lancaster's pathetic cinema yet and if I hear one more person on the radio, read one more review, hear. One. More. Thing. About how great and wonderful and awesome it is? Someone will get something extremely heavy thrown at their head. :(

Eeeef. It's wonderful.

*pets your LJ* It's prettyful.

*snuggles you*

Hey, btw, send me your address at the school!

Hhhmmm, I hate it when they put watermarks by the eyes. There's so many curves and shades. As long as it's okay though. :)

Thank you. :D Prettyful enough for now, until I have time to fiddle with it.

*snuggles back* :)

Dammit LJ! Posting without me even touching anything! Ggrr.

Was about to say, before LJ interrupted, that I'll post it in a locked post for you. :)

[scoobydumblonde.livejournal.com]

Stoopid LJ. *kicks it*

Yay. ;-)

I figured that was a problem, but thank you for doing it anyhow. And he's so frickin' hairy, damn Italian. *pets him* ;-) But it works 'cause Ima make an icon out of it, so it'll be resized. *snuggles you more*

*giggles* I'm tempted to have you make me another banner so I can play with mine again. :-P

*snuggles back more*

It wasn't right over the eye, so it wasn't as bad as some. :) And Getty managed to avoid most of the hair, which was very good since I find hair almost as impossible to de-mark as eyes. ^__^ And I love that icons have to be small sometimes - so much gets hidden in the resizing. :D *snuggles you back more*

*grins* Ask me in a week when I've 'read' *cough*skimmed*cough* the two books I have to read. And after I've finished making you your Pim Pim one. ;-)

*snuggles back even more*

[scoobydumblonde.livejournal.com]

Well, that's good. :-) *kicks Getty* Why can't they put 'em in a nice clean area all the time?? *pets icons* Icons are good. *nods* *snuggles back even more*

*giggles* Cool. *bounce*

*snuggles and bounces and twirls*

Thank you. :) It makes me feel all wintery. ^__^

*snuggles back* At least I was awake and dressed when this one went off, so it wasn't too bad. The ones at 4am, now those can get old very quickly. And me too - though it's only a two screen cinema so things don't stay showing for very long. I'm dreading it showing for a couple of days and me missing it because I don't go into town every day to check what's showing. *sigh*
