clo_again

So this morning Casper came in to wake me up at half eight. This was odd; I'd left him food and water last night so there was no reason for him to bug me that early. I grumbled at him, turned over and went back to sleep until my alarm went off at half nine at which point I hit snooze, because the only reason you set your alarm for half nine on a Sunday is to feel good that you meant to get up early. Then you just ignore it and sleep in anyway.

Only, it was oddly quiet and oddly dark and I wondered if the cool frost was still around from last night (it made fern patterns across the cars). For no reason I dragged myself out of bed and opened the curtains.

Onto snow. Lots and lots (for us) of snow.

Needless to say, fifteen minutes later I was dressed and out the house with the camera and I stayed out for some hours, during which I took 231 pictures. I haven't uplaoded all of them because lots had wet smudges from falling snow and some were blurry and some were the same thing. But I've uploaded... quite a few. I love snow. I ran around the house shrieking in excitement this morning. Hence, picspam overload.

( LOOK AT THE PRETTY OF MY SNOW :DDDD )



Oh snow. I wish you'd never melt. <3 It's hailstoning/snowing again now so I hope it'll still be around tomorrow. It's supposed to warm up tomorrow but still have snow so... we'll see. :)


edit: I think I finally fixed all my tags. Maybe.

SNOW. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO FLAIL OVER Y'ALL BECAUSE WE HAVE SNOW.

IN OCTOBER.

I LOVE THIS WINTER ALREADY.

Seriously, I'm not talking icing sugar dusting here. There's a good three inches out there and it's still snowing with that fast intent that means there'll be at least an extra inch between me going to bed in a minute and waking up at half seven to go prance around in it like a five year old.

It is of course snowing like this now because I am leaving for London tomorrow- wait, today. I'll have to catch the half nine bus to make my half eleven train and that'll be it for my snow. *sadness* But the next direct train doesn't get me in until like half six which is silly.

Which is why I'll be up at half seven to at least go for a walk in it. It might melt in a day anyway; it usually does for us... but I am not here and so it'll probably stay all weekend. That's how it usually works. They had more snow here while I was in Lancaster than we had in twice the years before it. Bah.

Casper is so not impressed with this cold white stuff that's taken over his garden once again. He twitches every time a snowflake lands on his ears and he's hiding inside even though he really wants to go out. It'd be pathetic if it wasn't cute.

And now I'm going to bed so I can be up early for snow. Hee. I hope when we move to the Lake District it gets more snow than Lancaster did, though that wouldn't be difficult.

I would just like to announce that IT'S SNOWING. I'm far too excited about this because I've had NO SNOW AT ALL this winter and it's really sucked.

So, even though it's well past 2am, have some ( pictures of snow!!! )

It'll be gone by morning no doubt but this is why staying up all night is totally worth it. :D Except I no longer have my snowman kissing icon and that is sad.


edit: And in addition to the snow, checking my email provided me with the shiny news that not only have our Dylan Moran tickets been printed and will arrive in the next two weeks (YAAAAAY!) but my Ghost in the Shell boxset sold on Amazon (I liked it but it didn't have huge rewatching potential for me, it's being repeated on the anime channel all the time and mainly, I need to make some money back after all I've spent recently), which pays just about for my Jareth figure. Also two different people favourited one of my old Bible!slash stories on ff.net on the same day. Which is... bizarre.

But the other things are full of YAY. :D Tickets! Money! Snow! Very shiny.

Mother: The world is ending! Friends are coming over any second and the napkins aren't ironed! *flail*
Me: *is sleeping*
Mother: *idea* HAH! Have indentured servant daughter to iron them for me! HEY YOU! Come and iron the napkins!!
Me: *is woken up* ... wtf?
Mother: Napkins! Iron!
Me: I don't even iron my clothes, that is the stupidest thing I've ever-
Mother: NAPKINS MUST BE IRONED. WORLD WILL END IN FIRE AND SULPHUR!!!eleventy-one!11!!!1! AND HORSEMEN AND HELLFIRE AND--
Me: o_O *irons napkins*

I feel dirty. I'm a student; ironing is against everything I believe in, sleeping all day, wearing the first clothes you find not in the 'dirty' pile, only washing things when you actually are on your last pair of knickers don'tquotemeonthat. Ironing napkins?! That are just going to get all crinkled and covered in food? That people probably won't even notice are neatly ironed at all?

Sometimes I think my mother is going senile. Right now? I *know* she is. My future house is going to be filled with cats and a dog and an iguana and possibly chipmunks; the most effort I'm probably going to make when I get visitors is to warn them as they come in to look where they sit in case they sit on a cat. I don't understand the obsession with having everything absolutely *perfect* for visitors; tidy up sure, make it look a little pretty but I'm sure real friends are there to see you and not the bathroom is took you two hours to scrub to perfection. They won't disown you if the Christmas cards aren't exactly in line either. Crikey.

In other, less-ranty news, IT'S STILL SNOWING. :D However it's going to turn to rain overnight. -_- I'm trying to convince the above crazed parentals to go for a walk in it later but I keep getting told that I'm the insane one. :( This is where I wish my f-list lived just around the corner, so we could have a midnight snowball fight.

Got an absolutely stunning card from eruantale today. *hugs* :D Thank you, it's beautiful.

Whee, snow! :D
