come down to lake pontchartrain

SO I'M BACK IN WALES YET AGAIN. After the explosions with my parents I'm sort of glad I left (because the night before I left my aunt decided it was HER turn to make me feel like a worthless piece of lazy ass which is always fun) even though it means the dawning of a new year and the fact that I'm supposed to be graduating in uhhhh 5 months? AHAHA. Fuck my life.

My room is still balls cold, and I have to resort to wearing gloves when I'm working up here on stuff. I actually used the heater for the first time in ages because oh my god I was so fucking cold under a winter duvet and a blanket and hats and gloves and socks and a kigu that I needed the extra warmth.


WHAT ELSE HAS HAPPENED...


OH YEAH

YOUNG AVENGERS CHILDREN'S CRUSADE ISSUE 4 CAME OUT and I was very disappoint. Come on Heinburg, Tommy is not 15, and I know you are fixing that but god. Way to make me feel skeevy about playing him for a second there fdjknhfjknfhd. Other than the horrifying lack of Tommy in that issue, I liked it a lot! Did not expect the ending and was all :O when it happened and blah blah blah everyone who this matters too is already all over this. HERP. Trust me for being late to the flail party over LJ but I assure you much flailing was done over twitter (which I have been using a lot more recently I think I am addicted) and AIM.

ALSO virtualdon gave me my late Christmas present, which is the Axel Formation Arts figure that is only available in Japan and I flipped out. I put him together straight away and oh my god I love his face so fucking much I am actually beside myself. I also got my presents from batfowl (THANK YOU SWEETIE!) She sent me a pretty bracelet and Cupcake rice paper toppers with fucking Shiba Inu puppies on them. They will be the most adorable cupcakes I will ever create I don't even.

And idk if I said this before but my flat mates pooled together and got me a Raikou plushie AND HE IS SO CUTE I DON'T EVEN??? I am forming an electric type plushie ARMY (I have a Jolteon, Ampharos, Elekid, Rotom and Raikou now :D Blitzle and Emonga are on the LIST as well as Luxray if I could ever fucking find it for less than a billion dollars) but I am glad in the knowledge that I'll never be as bad as this even though I am super jealous of like pretty much everything she owns.

Oh I just realised I am rambling. HERP.

ONE LAST THING I GUESS, I was saved today by my tutors who decided to extend the dissertation draft final for another 10 days, as I was really starting to work myself up into a state over the fact that I didn't do as much work over Christmas as I thought I would've. I'm going to aim to try and finish it this week and get a couple people to read it and I'm aiming to do the full 8,000 words to make it easier when the deadline comes around again. And we have deadlines in February and I have to do so much work that I'm thinking about setting up a 9-5 work regime to see if I can actually motivate myself every day to do SOMETHING. Wish me and my procrastinator of a brain luck guys.

It's going to be a bumpy year BUT HOPEFULLY it'll all be worth it in the end and I'll never have to write another fucking essay or use Harvard referencing ever fucking again. >:(


also I promise I wrote this journal not drunk even though it totally seems like I am.

Spent the last two days at squeakyorm's, which was lovely! But apologies to lack of tags over this period of time! I'm kind of sucking with those right now, hurr hurr.

Anyways! A friend of my mom's is a professional photographer, and he gave my god mother an apple laptop for her to use. Of course, she hasn't touched it in the entire year that she's had it, so she decided to give it to me for my birthday since she wont use it. Its an Apple Powerbook G4, about 8/9 years old, stuffed to the brim full of memory and with a lot of decent art programs on it.
The downside is that it only has a 500 megahertz processor (and considering new ones have like 2.4 gigahertz..) so I'm worried that its going to be really slow for what I'm going to need it for - in which case my godmother is going to give it to someone else. Also there's the thing that it probably isn't set up for wireless and I'd have to get an adapter for it if I wanted to use it wirelessly. And the screen is a little loose. BUT. I'm really excited in any case as it'll be the first mac I've owned (I dont care if its a hand-me-down!) and I've always loved their stuff, just been a little too poor to afford it! I'm already in love with it just by looking at it!

One problem though. The battery or the power cable or something is broken, and the thing refuses to turn on! I'm going to take it into the apple store in town tomorrow to see if they can do anything about it and try not to walk out of there with an ipod touch but I don't want to spend a lot of money getting it repaired if it only just turns out to be too slow and in turn useless to me. It'll probably be more cost effective to buy a whole new mac, but I just don't have £700 (at least) lying around. @_@

WE SHALL SEE HOW THINGS GO TOMORROW.

In other news I have so much fucking apps work to do and barely a week left to do it in, and my parents decided we're going away for four days. I don't need this right now auugh.

..and I reserved Chase at ingen_rpg and I have a beast boy app to write. Methinks its time for a hiatus :|a
