I never really had to hide books from my parents; my mother was allowed to read whatever she wanted as a child, and so extended the same privilege to me. Thus I ended up borrowing a bunch of books about sex from the local library and finding out about a lot of interesting concepts before I really needed to. I attribute any and all issues I have to this :D

[entry written on Friday afternoon, offline]

Soooo, today I completed THE PROJECT. I spent the morning beta-reading it (there was a horrible moment when I realised a bunch of tables of figures were wrong and had to be re-copied-and-pasted) (there was another horrible moment when I was given a task I'd specifically asked not to have to do that day because the bloke who was going to do it called in sick) (HE'D BETTER HAVE BEEN VERY ILL) and then I spent, like, four hours printing out ten copies. Because it is 148 pages long and contains images. But yes. I HAS FINISHED PROJECT. (Although it hasn't yet been spiral-bound. But it will be.)

I am now looking forward *touches wood* to a weekend which does not involve projects and just involves me doing a few things at some point. Tomorrow is the fancy dress party, and yes, I am going as a BR schoolgirl. I suspect my weapon may be poison, aka a bottle of Bach's rescue remedy with a skull-and-crossbones label :D

I have stupidly allowed myself to run out of inhaler and my back has been vaguely achy and wheezy all day as my lungs start doing a Tetsuo impression and yelling 'WHERE ARE MY DRUGS?' I hope to sort this out next week. *fails a bit*

( My thoughts on the Desperate Housewives season finale, and the season in general )

Okay. I go make soup and watch JDrama.

***

Last night was the fancy-dress party and I did indeed go as a Battle Royale schoolgirl. Quite a few people knew the movie, which was cool, and it was pretty fun. Didn't get home til 2 a.m., though, and woke up today with a cold. Have spent most of it lurking and sleeping and watching TV. Feel vaguely grumpy now, probably because I am getting even more tired.

Edit: the party cast list, for my own reference and for lulz ^^

The theme was good vs. evil.

Good
An angel
Sgt. Elias from the movie Platoon
Elastigirl from The Incredibles
Violet, from same
Claire Bennett from Heroes
James Bond
Horatio from CSI: Miami
Harry Potter

Evil
Jason Voorhees
Freddy Kreuger
Cruella de Vil
A devil
A pirate
The Joker from The Dark Knight, in his nurse's outfit

Somewhat confused
A jar of Marmite
A devil and an angel combined (in one costume. The angel looks like it's shagging the devil. Yes, it is as weird as it sounds)
A Battle Royale schoolgirl ^^

Also, there were good and evil cookies (some shaped like Batman logos, some shaped like Ghostbuster logos, and some with appropriate quotes on), and though I did not have a gun, the pirate let me hold hers for most of the second half of the evening :D

Just found out we're getting our coursework marks back today. Also was given a general feedback sheet on it. I have a horrible feeling it hasn't gone very well.

*flails, just for the hell of it*

Um, yes. Am currently busy revising. First exam on Monday. Woohoo -_-

Edit: 66%. Could've been much worse. Average was 58% and my last three courseworks have been 60-something, so I'm not really surprised.

One person got 100%, though.

Either they're a genius, or make me look like a party animal.

A few things: I'm having Psychologically Significant Battle Royale Dreams again (as opposed to just random ones); I've decided I don't really like ska music; lycoris has left but we had a really great week (well, I did); I finally saw Jurassic Park and felt I made the right choice not seeing it as a kid as it would have scared the pants off me; I also saw Serenity which I really liked (I liked JP too but it was scarier ^^); I still can't find a song about Kaori (from Akira, not BR); I think my family are getting very tired of me; and I am EMO. EMOOOOOOOOOO.

*cough*

If anyone does know any songs they think might fit Kaori, please tell me! This is driving me nuts.

I also read the first volume of One Piece, watched the original black-and-white version of Little Shop Of Horrors (WTF, dudes. Just... what?) saw some more Doctor Who episodes (yay for the Seventh Doctor!) went to the zoo, saw three episodes of Stingray and could have sworn it was better when I was a kid, and... yeah. Watched/read some other stuff too (okay, the reading was mainly Sweet Valley Twins books, but so what? :p)

Edit: I owe Zarrah a meme, yey.

Here's a twist on the usual letter meme - comment and I'll give you a letter. Come up with ten song titles for it, and explain why you picked it.

( Zarrah gave me an M... )

Edit 2: Got a song for Kaori! Hooray for a brother with an extensive music collection.

.... I like that subject. That has actually made me laugh now. Yay!

Erm, yes. Possibly watching the last ep of Doctor Who (which made my little sister cry and so then made me cry even though I didn't want to bloody cry because it's FUCKING EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION and *dark mutters about stuff*) and then immediately checking e-mails and confirming that Satomi is dead was not the best plan, but... damn, that subject is amusing me.

I am more than a little immature suddenly.

Hmm. Think may call RL friend and see if she's alive and stuff.

Dear Tallulah,

You are a fucking moron.

No love at all,

Your Conscience, who is very pissed off with you because you didn't listen to her and now you are regretting it


( Random facts meme )

Gods, I am not looking forward to this party. A host of drunken males who all know each other, one female flatmate and her boyfriend, Duncan and another friend, and me.
Why did I agree to this? Why? Why didn't I make other plans? Why do people like doing this sort of stuff? Why can't we all just live in caves on our own?

Ugh. Done loads of packing. Ready to go to uni. Sick with apprehension. Will go and distract self with fanfic.
Don't know how well Internet connection will be working at uni, so bear with me.

Went to see War of the Worlds last night...

( WotW Spoilers )

I am determined to keep my LJ updated despite lack of Net access.

All I did this morning was go to town, look at a flat, buy Duncan a cake and a present, get tickets for the local production of Fame and do my shopping, and I'm wilting. I feel like I've been hit on the head, only without the pain.

( Short, not particularly self-hating, but angsting, about my future )

Edit: Hotmail account seems fine now, so feel free to e-mail it if you wanted to, well, e-mail me. Thanks to angrychemist I've set up a Gmail account as back-up, though.

Second exam today. Went better - I couldn't do two of the short questions, but I did the two long ones and I think I got them right. (Managed to detect an error in the second one when I said -1/-1 = -1...) Hardly any time to check, everyone thinks we don't have enough time.
Am a little worried that not doing so good on an exam plunged me into a fit of angst and depression that lasted for twenty-four hours and then doing good on this one immediately lifted me. I do not feel my mood should be so dependent on maths...
