the first rambling of 2010

I hope you all had a good holiday and New Year! 2010 sounds like a good year :) I haven't really posted in a while because I've been busy with a lot of off internet things since I've not been home in like 2 months and family came to stay from Bermuda and then there was a party and then [livejournal.com profile] otilu was here and it's been a little crazy. The house is back to being empty again, and mom's started to take down all the Christmas decorations (it's kind of sad 8( The house looks so pretty with them up) and I've got one week left before I go back to University.

I'm not sure if I'm dreading it or looking forward to it. I have two projects to hand in a couple days after I get back, neither of which I've really worked on since I've been at home, so I'm not looking forward to the all-nighters and stress that is going to go with that, but I do miss my little room and my friends. I dunno. It's weird I guess. Especially since I'm not really happy with my course and the only bits I do enjoy are the social aspects of it. Euugh. Pura make your mind up.

I think the fact that I'm very sleep deprived because I had to share my bed with my sister last night (since our extended family were still with us) and she snores so loudly that I couldn't sleep and i have work in 10 minutes and my shoulder is killing me from walking around London all yesterday with my father and his brother, it's making me grumpy. I just want to go back to bed, but I know that the moment I get back from work I have to sit down and start school work and keep at it as late as I can. Which means I'll be hecka scarce from the internet for like a week. But if I work as well as doing my schoolwork, hopefully I can finally buy my plane tickets for this summer. I've almost got enough money, just another £200 should do it, hopefully. Once those are actually booked, I'm going to feel a whole lot better.

So yeah! I'm not going to be around much at all over the next couple of weeks. I'll probably still be doing tags, but at a really slow pace.

IN OTHER NEWS I got to meet [livejournal.com profile] countersparking again the other weekend (Maria you are so cute omg), along with [livejournal.com profile] otilu and [livejournal.com profile] ormery, and we all went to see the new Sherlock Holmes movies, which I thought was rather excellent and I'm probably going to see it again sometime this week or next. Derp. I'm also probably seeing Avatar when I go back to uni with one of my friends since she's been obsessing over it since she read about it's production, and whilst I'm a little skeptical about the plot, I'll still give it a go.

(I ALSO SAW PRINCESS AND THE FROG, OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT TO COME OUT OVER HERE SO I CAN SEE IT IN HD AND NOT A CRAPPY INTERNET STREAM. BUT IT WAS AWESOME.)

That is all. Carry on.

PRINCESS AND THE FROG!!! WHERE IS IT??? DO WANT!!!! ;A; Apparently Fitz has it XD

You're not the only one who's done little to no work ;A; I'm meant to be starting my essay today....

I may go and see sherlock holmes tomorrow~ It is meant to be good! :3 Also, Avatar..... it is only me who thinks the blue people look terrifying??!! Why are they so tall and stretched and ;A;

Also, despite all the back to uni work, we shall make sure it's a happy one!! <3

Because I seem to have something with me that you might want....

I watched mine on one of these links: http://www.watch-movies-online.tv/movies/the_princess_and_the_frog/
the quality was terrible, but at least I got to see it!

When is that essay actually due in for? Because I'm not sure if I should focus on all the coloring before I go back and do research on the train, or the other way around. Halp. I'm basically going to do all my colouring and edits before I go back and then write the essay in the 4 days/nights when we get back (after editing the film anyways).

Yeaaah. I just call it the 'Furry Film' because they sort of wig me out. They actually motion-captured the movement and then STRETCHED the models so they would be all gangly and stretchy. Idk. I think the render on it is beautiful, but whenever I see fanart I'm just like euuugh. I'll give it a go though!

fff stop tempting me you foul temptress

tempt tempt tempt

Thankyou <3 I think we shall have to steal princess and the frog off Fitz when he gets back also!!!

And the essay is due on 18th Jan, by 2pm. I shouldn't have looked this up, because i'm fooling myself into thinking I have plenty on time now... >>;;;

D: I didn't expect them to be so stretched until I first saw it. Depending on how I feel money wise, I may or may not come with you, but I dunno :s

if he has a decent copy of it or an HD version, then I'll steal it (its totally unlikely though). IF NOT I'm cool with waiting for the DVD.

Okay, cool. I'm going to go ahead and finish all my 2D stuff before I even consider tackling the essay. ONE STRESS PILE AT A TIME.

Dude, loan payments. How do you think I'm getting the 4th season of SPN. I MEAN REALLY. 8|
