Word to the wise - when pinning fabric, don't use your knee as a support, or you will end up with a sore spotty rash thing. Also, when measuring, make sure you're using the centimeters side of the tape, not the inches.

If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Assessments are over, finally. They were actually pretty alright, for assessments - I got to write an essay on the difference between fantasy and fairy tales, and I also then (unrelated) wrote a fairytale. I am celebrating by getting a full night's sleep. :D

And I will. But right now, I just have to say ooowie owwie owie ow, because my face is swollen and my teeth hurt, and I'm hungry and I'm tired and I have cramps and I swear to god, my back feels like it's been hit up and down with a CRICKET BAT. Dear GOD, my back hurts so much I'm actually crying like a baby, and I can't lie down because that makes it worse, and there is no one around to cuddle me because the family has gone out.
Yes, this IS all related to the big tooth op. Is anyone interested in hearing about that? (I promise it will be not-whiney.)

Hey, so guess what I found out this morning? My appointment to go and have surgery to get my wisdom teeth out that I thought was next Friday, or possibly the one after? Is this Friday. Which means I am in a mad rush to try and get everything more-or-less done for uni before then, so I don't have to try to finish assessable work in a haze of pain. Fun week, ahoy!

Dear Family,
What precisely is lacking in your collective mind that you do not realise that when someone, such as myself, puts a bottle of water in the fridge, that generally means they will, at some time in the near future, want a bottle of (chilled) water, and that it is therefore polite that you, should you wish to partake of said chilled water, should then refill the bottle and place it back in the fridge? I Don't Mind This. What I mind, is when someone decides that they wish to partake of my chilled water and thereafter does not refill and replace the bottle, but rather, throws it in the bin so that when I want a bottle of water - for say, my handbag, or a bout with the treadmill, there is none to be found.
Sorely tried love,
Sarah

Fucking hell. Dad gets back from a locum and within three minutes of walking in the door is yelling and criticising in every direction. He didn't even say hello before he got started - which wouldn't be so bad, except I went out of my way to be civil to him when he turned up.

Signs you need to clean, or at least dust your room:
1) Mysteriously blocked nose when in room.
2) Explosive sneezing upon leaving room.

I'm on a fandom roll. Remember how I posted a while back about fake gypsy tatoos for the TS launch? I'm playing round with ideas for that at the moment, and knocked up a quick version watching tv tonight:
It was done in like, ten minutes, so the quality is not fabulous, but it's sorta what I'm going for. I think it needs a lot more negative space between the birds, though. And it was done in acrylic, which, as I should have remembered, itches. I think if this sort of thing were to be done for multiple people, I'd have to go for fake tats, or have multiple people working on it, since it'd take far too much time otherwise. The word in the middle, for the record, is "sentire" (to know) - it's backwards because the only way I could take it was in a mirror. I really need a proper camera.

I neglect to check c.o and ober.net for...okay, like two months, but still...and while I'm gone Penguin announces that there's a new book before The Sending, and that the release dates for both have been pushed back! Seriously, what are the fucking chances. On the one hand, I'm kinda pissed that they're going to be out a bit later than planned, and that I have to read two books to find out what happens - and knowing IC, they'll be fucking behemoths. On the other hand - two new books (fucking big ones) featuring my all-time favourite clueless heroine and her angry cat, and a definite date this year. And new covers? I may have to get a whole new set, if they're nice. (But not if they're like the Ashling cover with the freaky red moon where Elspeth's wearing that giant necklaceand has a fringe*, because there are no words for how ugly I think that cover is.)
In conclusion: Woot! And grrrr...but mostly woot!
*Though it's never stated one way or the other, I feel that Elspeth's apparent aversion to cutting her hair means she WOULD NOT HAVE A FRINGE, Mr Cover Artist. Also, really long hair with a fringe is a pet hate of mine.

NB: Do Not absentmindedly chew on your iron pill until it bursts and the little balls of iron rapidly dissolve in your mouth. It will taste like stale blood, and the taste will not go away.
...Eeew. Seriously, no amount of water is helping with this.

Attention all Isobelle Carmody fans! Okay, so there are rumours that The Sending is going to be released this year (yeah, yeah, I know, there are rumours every year, but this time there's things in the paper and on the penguin website and such), and I was thinking I'd like to make up a version/replica of the gypsy tatoo in the books and wear it to the launch - temporary, natch, body paint or henna or somesuch. And then I thought, hey, wouldn't it be cool if, say, I made up a stencil or something, and a whole group of people could have a tat, to show that we are truly rabid fans, but I have no idea whether anyone (after Kel, who is my testing board for all manner of things) would go for this idea.
So: Carmody fans on my list, what do you think?
1.Fab idea
2.No
3. Screw body paint, we should all go to a tattoo parlour and get real tatoos, to identify ourselves after the holocaust comes.

Comment and:
1) I shall respond with something random I like about you.
2) I shall tell you what song, movie or book reminds me of you.
3) I shall name something we should do together.
4) I shall say something that only makes sense to you and me (or at least me).
5) I shall tell you my first or clearest memory of you.
6) I shall leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7) I shall ask you something that I have always wondered about you.
8) If I do this for you, you must in turn post this on your journal so you can do the same for others. Because I am Queen and you shall.

Suddenly, and just as inexplicably as it stopped working, the network is working again. I'm beginning to think it's all because my puter is a snobby Mac and doesn't like networking with those lowly PCs. Ah well, best get to work on that essay that's due tomorrow...

I had this massive post semi-planned out of rambling about my life in the past little while, but I was lazy today and then babysat the entire evening (oh, the hardship of lying on a couch watching the ABC whilst one's charges sleep!), so I'll post it tomorrow. But I'm still alive, just FYI.
