I finally got around to finishing off some batches of icons (and remodelling that old journal layout 8|;) I've been working on for the past few months on and off, and posted them up on my graphics comm (purapeagraphics) so if you could check them out if you have a minute that would be awesome. Just some stock icons and some Teen Titans icons, but I'm getting an Axel post together as well as some Young Avengers and Runaways - and on top of that I've been building some profile layouts too - so if you want to keep track of that please watch the comm c:


Other than that I went lifedrawing/shopping with my friend silverbrumby123 today, and bought some new clothes and a dvd. 8) I also got myself an ipod touch which was supposed to be for my birthday so I'm not actually allowed to play with it till Sunday, which blows, but HEY. ipod Touch!

- Also we heard back about the mac and it's not the power cable that's causing the problem but probably the battery, and I don't want to spend £50 fixing that up ontop of what I've already paid when I know its not going to be very useful for me. Sighh. I'll get a mac SOME day. At least I've finally broken my Apple virginity with the ipod, hurrhurr.

Last day of antibotics tomorrow and I'm not feeling any better. Methinks its time to book another appointment. I really hope this isn't glandular fever (or Mono to you americans) because I do NOT want my summer ruined by illness. That and I have a hella lot of deadlines fast approaching and if I'm sick through them I don't know what I'll do. Fuuuck.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to pass out now.

I'm back from that mini holiday with the rents, and its only proved to me just how out of place I feel whenever I go online anymore. Its like I'm an outsider now, looking in on groups I used to be part of or watching old friends leaving for newer ones. I guess I didn't realize how much it was actually hurting me that it took four days of not speaking or seeing anyone to notice.

I just feel that don't fit in anywhere anymore.

ignore me, its probably just a PHASE or something 8|a BLEH. BUT YEAH. Holiday was okay! We went to the beach and I flew a kite and pretended to be an otter for two hours by smashing shells on stones. Hell yes. Other than that we didn't really do much. I started a new game on leafgreen (charmander starter named Axel) but I only got to viridian forest before my battery died 8( I was hunting pikachu too 8(

On a slightly lighter note, I made dinner for my parents tonight since my mom needed a break. I made sushi at my fathers request as well as ginger chicken udon and chicken yakitori. It was really tasty and my mom was all OMG I AM SO PROUD THAT YOU CAN COOK AND NOW I KNOW YOU WONT STARVE. It made me laugh.

The cherry blossom in the garden is just starting to bloom too.. but I'm going to miss it by days I think. It usually blooms around my birthday week which is next week, and I'll be at uni for that. 8(

ALSO: I've had this weird thing for a few days now. Its like a sore throat, except theres no pain. Its just swollen - to the point that it feels like its closing up - and its really hard to breathe. I don't have a fever, a headache or any other ailments, just a swollen throat. Halp? D:
