The awesome: Slowly moving from my flat to my house, which is awesome apart from the weather and the fact that OH GOD I HAVE SO MUCH STUFF. Baco and Emmy are awesome joy inducing people and I love them lots (and the rest of you! Don't worry!).

The sucky: We have no internet at the house yet, but we have a TV license. Jen got a parking fine because aparently disabled badges don't count for parking outside your own house. ... I didn't get the Blackwell's job. ;__;

I passed this year! Scraped through in Japanese, and passed so awesomely in everything else that I don't have to resit the module I failed! A WINNAR IS ME! :D :D :D

The trouble with signing up for FFEX is that I actually put some thought into my prompts this time around and now I want to write them! GODDAMMIT. Oh well, it's not like I'm in any fit state to write fic now anyway - I spent most of last night and this morning scribbling out six or seven little half-scenes, trying to remember how you do it. I think I'm getting back to normal! Currently attempting the one where Rinoa screws the world over by accident, the margin notes are about as long as the fic. :D

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DON'T POST FOR A WHILE, GUYS, I FORGET HOW TO WRITE. Anyway, I've got to go meet my personal tutor (AUGH I've probably failed something, I hope I haven't though! D: ) and depending on how that goes I'll either come back and answer comments from a billion years ago or go round to Lex's to go AUGH a lot (No, he doesn't know about this plan yet, why?) and either way there is barbeque this afternoon, yay! :D AND THEN I HAVE TO WORK OUT HOW I'M GETTING HOME TOMORROW BECAUSE IT IS SISTER'S PROM AND SOMEONE HAS TO LAUGH WHILE GOING "AW SHE'S SO ADORKABLE IN HER PRETTY BLUE PRINCESS DRESS!" AND BY GOD THAT PERSON WILL BE ME!

  • I WENT HOME LAST WEEKEND AND GOT MY LAPTOP! I AM A HAPPY SUSAN! And I saw my little nieces, it was awesome. Mainly because we went to see Becky and Bridget and Aurora with Rihanna (who is one of my little nieces). Rihanna looked SO CONFUSED! Like "OMG, there are people the same size as me! WHAT DO I DO!?" (Hide on your Auntie Susan's lap until they follow you there with balloons to play with. :Db)
  • I'M NOT YOMIKO FROM READ OR DIE, RIGHT? PEOPLE KEEP SAYING I AM!
  • You know what I like about the Cassandra Kresnov series (written by an australian dude called Joel Shepherd! Look it up!) is that yes, the main character is a robot created to kill shit in the face and admits really that she loves having sex - but there isn't a single graphic sex scene. WIN. Also, dude gets points for having the main character's best friend be a bisexual-who-prefers-girls and NOT making them have sex!
  • Also, I read Coraline last night (someone gave me a big bag of books for the scifi library, and I started to read another books but DUDE IT IS SIGNED AND IN PRISTINE CONDITION GETITAWAYFROMME, I need to find this woman and give it her back. If she doesn't want it, she can SELL it and get a fortune, don't give me something that shiny PLEASE.) and I admit that bits of it freaked me out. And my first reaction to those bits were "Oh god who would give that to a kid?!" before I remembered "Oh for god's sake, when I was a kid I would've loved those bits!"
  • I found this on Notalwaysright.com, and I am quite seriously considering encouraging this behaviour in Scifi soc. >D

    (I’m sitting at the reference desk when a lady walks in with a beautiful bouquet in one hand, a bag full of freshly-baked loaves of bread in the other, and a ferocious scowl on her face. She comes to the desk and slams down the flowers.)

    Lady: *growls* “Flowers for librarians!”

    (She slams down the bread, then growls again.)

    Lady: “Bread for librarians!”

    (She then puts both hands on the desk and leans forward.)

    Lady: *snarling* “Now find me a book!”

  • I AM FULFILLING MY LIBRARIANLY DUTIES AND GODDAMMIT I AM AWESOME. I am buying two hundred and seventy quid's worth of books! Thus far I have spent £180! I am petrified because this is mine and my mum's money because they work on a re-imbursal system which is RIDICULOUS, especially because I'm not 100% sure they'll accept the proof-of-purchase I've given them (ORDERING BOOKS ONLINE = DON'T IMMEDIATELY HAVE THE RECEIPTS, SORRY.)
  • The interview went okay! It was basically "Here is a list of questions. Go explore the shop and talk to the people who already work here (WHO ARE MY SPIES, THEY'LL BE REPORTING BACK TO ME ON EVERYTHING YOU SAY AND/OR DO!) and fill in the questionaire," and then the lady gave me an interview in which I babbled in a very panicked manner for about a minute and then the next nine were here telling me "Basically I only need you for 6-8 weeks, but if you work REALLY HARD we might keep you on after Christmas." PLEASE LET ME GET THIS JOB, I REALLY NEED MONEY! I've got £20 to last me till whenever I go home or my deposit on this place comes back!
  • THIRTEEN DAYS TILL I MOVE HOUSE!
  • Yesterday was Can't Stop The Serenity - it's a big event around Joss Whedon's birthday where people host screenings of Serenity (and Doctor Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog) and donate any money they raise to Equality Now and a woman's charity that I can't remember the name of. Scifi soc hosted it - we've never done anything like it before, so eeeeeeek. There were LOTS OF PEOPLE. PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T MEMBERS OF SCIFI AND RPG. This is because we whored it out like NOTHING ELSE, got the women's rights society in on it and the film societies! And we raffled AWESOME STUFF like signed posters and pretty jewellery and tea that looked like weed and places in the global raffle. And sold LOTS AND LOTS OF CHOCOLATE and that was my job, but Mike was there in his awesome purple velvet smoking jacket and green hair, everyone was MAGNETICALLY DRAWN to his side of the table. DUDE WE MADE THREE HUNDRED QUID FOR CHARITY, EASY. IT WAS AWESOME. And and and I always forget how much I like Serenity - Firefly itself I can take or leave, but Serenity I love - and Wash always makes me cry at the end. Although the end itself is AWESOME. And so is most of the one liners. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN APPLAUSE. IT MAY HAVE STARTED IN THE CORNER ME AND MY FRIENDS WERE SAT IN. And when we watched Doctor Horrible, you may have been able to hear one voice singing EVERY SONG and that may or may not have been Lex and his Doctor Horrible addiction. :D TWAS FUN.

Cut for baby spoilers? )

TO SUM UP: It was awesome and while I wasn't as rabid about it as some of my friends, I can see why Lex and Sarah saw it four times each. :D

Many thanks for submitting your application for a position at Blackwell.

I am delighted to tell you that you have been selected for interview.


*DANCES LIKE A FUCKING MONKEY!*

Okay, I need to email the lady back to say I'd like the interview-appointment on the 4th, check that the interview's at the shop (I'm assuming that as there's to be a "shop-floor based task" auuuuuugh what the hell will that be I don't know anything about how they do things at Blackwells!), and then figure out what in the name of god I'm supposed to wear. I guess a blouse would do? But auuuuuugh I hope this goes okay! I WANT THIS JOB! AND YAY FOR GETTING AN INTERVIEW EVEN IF I'VE NEVER DONE ONE BEFORE AND AM SCARED TO DEATH! :D :D :D :D

Q: Did you really get your sister's baby laptop fixed just so you can use it to get online?
A: ... Maybe. Although if it makes it any better this laptop can't run firefox AND a messenger client at the same time if I have more than two tabs open, which is kinda a bitch.

Q: Did you actually get any revision done?
A: Yes! Slightly less so than the day where I got distracted by baking bread, which turned out AWESOME by the way, but there was definitely revision. Done by me. Before I got bored and made bread and pretended to forget it was a bank holiday so I had an excuse to lure Lex to the pub, acquire a Mike and a Joe while we were there, and spend most of an evening talking about Star Trek before we went back to Lex's and ended up watching Detroit Metal City.

Q: Do we even want to know?
A: Probably not, but if someone reminds me I'll tell them. Like I need to tell Baco I now know where her "I have saved the day" icon comes from because Mike took advantage of my heart-on for Warren Ellis and gave me Next Wave to read. Of course, this wont be for a while because CHRIST I WAS GONE FOR A WEEK AND MY FLIST TRACKS BACK ABOUT 1000 ENTRIES, WHAT THE HELL.

Q: Didn't you skive off yesterday too and start reading PSoH: Tokyo to make yourself angry?
A: Well, yes. And now I want fic where Woo-Fei and Leon team up and punch D in the face a lot (But I've started that) or fic where the writer-lady and the cicada-girl live together and writer-lady grows steadily more traumatised and crazy, but I'm not writing that one.

Q: ... Are you writing a crossover of Petshop of Horrors and KINGDOM HEARTS over there?! Just so you can have Sofu D selling Heartless?!
A: ... I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LA LA LA...

GUYS I AM CURRENTLY COMPUTERLESS. I TOOK MY LAPTOP TO STAPLES TO GET THEM TO FIX THE BATTERY AND THE FAN THEY TOOK IT AWAY FROM ME!

THEY SAID TERRIBLE THINGS AS THEY DID IT, LIKE "WE'LL HAVE TO WIPE THE HARDDRIVE" AND "WE WON'T BE SENDING IT OFF FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS AND IT'LL BE A MAXIMUM OF FOUR WEEKS TO GET IT BACK," WHICH WAS JUST UNNECESSARY AND CRUEL!

I don't want them to wipe my harddrive. And what if they're mistreating my laptop!

Basically ;____________________________________________________________; and it's quite likely that I will be completely incommunicado internet-wise for a while! I've got my sister's laptop and I'm going to try and get someone to fix the fact that the password thing is COMPLETELY FUCKED so I can use that, in the meantime I'll be nipping in the library to use the computers there.

STAY THE HELL OUT OF TROUBLE, IF ANY OF YOU AREN'T FINE WHEN I COME BACK I WILL "SUSAN SMAAAAAAAAAAAASH!" ALL OVER YOU. >(

On the plus side, it's forty days till I get my shiny new house?
