THE MEME OF SHARING

Day one: a song
Day two: a picture
Day three: a book/ebook/fanfic
Day four: a site
Day five: a youtube clip
Day six: a quote
Day seven: whatever tickles your fancy

Hmm, this was a tough decision. XD As I'm back in Michael Jackson mode, having watched This Is It (which is awesome btw), I thought I'd go for this:



( And like 5 more under here XD ):3 Something for everyone!

Current Mood: cold
Current Music: Kanjani8 - Explosion

Not had a poll for a while, so thought I'd ask a Very Important Question.

Poll #1479260
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 35

If you dig a big hole, where do you come out?

If you dig a big hole in your contry, where do you come out?

I eagerly await the results!!

The older I get, the less I find myself wanting to talk about Intellectual Things. Maybe this is how we all die get set in our ways. XD I want to talk about frivolous stuff and have a laugh! Lol well I guess I always have, lol, but now even more than before. Must be cos I've actually had to do work and start really thinking about my PhD (had a huge breakthrough today - I keep forgetting about it, then remembering and having this big rush of relief!). Problem is there's no-one around anymore who shares my frivolous interests. ;_; *clings to internetz* XD Never leave meeeeee~!!

Oh yeah, meme too:

I always enjoy There, I Fixed It, a photo site collecting 'Epic Kludges and Jury Rigs', lol. This is my favourite recent entry. XD

Oh man I hate lazy inaccuracies, especially from people who should know better. XD Like, King Knut was not trying to hold back the waves, the whole point was that he was demonstrating that he couldn't! I feel like a university professor should know this, even if he is a linguistics professor, lol. Plus in the same lecture he gave the impression that Ypres was given the nickname 'Wipers' because of some colonial-type Anglicisation, but I'm fairly certain all the top brass would know the real pronunciation full well, and it was more likely the ordinary Tommies in the trenches who didn't know a word of French who'd come up with that one. But that's just my own assumption (which I love making, in historical contexts XD).

Life continues to be busy. @_@ But that's OK. I packed up all my unnecessary clothes today in preparation for moving. On Friday I go cat-sitting in the Peak District, which will be fun but add a lot more commuting into my life, lol. Tomorrow I have to see my supervisor and then I'm meeting one of my students who says she's finding classes a bit hard, bless. I hope I can help her. :X

I don't like this grey weather. I keep having these awful little D: D: D: periods. Maybe I should write about them sometime, because I feel like my experience of depression is really different to everyone else's. Lol I always want to make sure things are represented accurately, haha. Plus it'd be nice to meet some people who understand. I keep thinking I should go to some uni meetings (like about environmental issues, postgrad groups, mental health...) but I already feel so busy, I need my flopping time, lol. Once I get in at night I don't want to go out again. ^^'

I've been wondering what to do for the next thing on this meme:

I wanted to rec a fanfic, but I just didn't want to favour one when I know so many great authors - plus, chances are everyone's already read everything. ^^' But I also don't read many fiction books anymore (that's what academia will do for you, lol, plus I'm *extremely* picky). I do, however, enjoy history and biography, and a few years ago I read this excellent biography of Oscar Wilde. Oscar Wilde is someone whose legend I find more interesting than his work, but I get really involved in a tragic life story like his. Also explains my recent fascination with Michael Jackson. (Quite looking forward to This Is It, I have to say. :3)

I want choc. But I don't have any, and I shouldn't go get it. XD I'm gonna have some tea and a chocolate-coated rice cake instead. :9

I could've hunted and looked for something more obscure again... but nah. *__________* This is definitely pic of the day, week, and probably month too. :9



I like that my mood icon for 'flirty' is Yasuba. :D

Today I finally bought a winter coat! I haven't had one for a few years, haha. And it was mother's birthday so we went for champagne afternoon tea (which was free cos I had a voucher, lol). How do half a dozen finger sandwiches and a scone make you incapable of eating anything else for the entire day?! It's inexplicable really, haha.

Also!! Finally put the rusty, grinding wheels in motion for the purchase of my house. @_@ I have given the command to transfer huge sums of money to my solicitor, haha. Hopefully we should be able to start moving after the 5th of November. ...Is the last I heard, so... fingers crossed, eh? Longest house sale process in the history of the world! XD
