laliandraHow is it July? This is my question to you all. What happened to June. And May, for that matter?
This is a somewhat rushed update/PSO/greeting because I have to go get the train to Derby soon. Why is that, you may ask (and if you know Derby, in tones of Great Bafflement). This is because I am staying there tonight and then tomorrow flying from there to Bulgaria for a week on the beach with my lovely (now sadly ex) housemates. A sort of farewell to uni, celebration and break all in one.
I hope to return to you tanned, but this is massively unlikely. At best I freckle, or go a sort of beige.
But still! So, this is also a post for you to keep me informed of any exciting chatroom happenings. I partly blame the chatroom for eating up all my time. On the plus side, I have found what appears to be my calling in life, the ability to write boomdeyada songs on any topic, given ten minutes or so. Sadly, I am yet to find a way to make this a skill that will pay the bill(z).
You can see some of my efforts in among the EPIC crazy of TDL musical post, over at Boo's...
And a quick Mission101.
I voted! European Parliamentary Elections. It was my first time, which was very exciting, but somwhat marred by the fact that the BNP (right wing fasist party, basically) won a seat in my district. I felt, all kinds of hurt and almost betrayed, because I have always been so proud of my local area and its dedication to intergration. Sigh.
I made Malteaser cupcakes, which are delicious!
I read - The Book Thief by Markus Zuzak. It was excellent, though rather heavy going in some places. And it wins the accolade of being only the fourth book ever to make me cry...
Garden Spells, um, I can't remember who by. Fantasy not packaged as such, basically. It was very cute and had some GREAT minor characters. A smart, sweet, unexpectedly interesting summer read.
I did two more crosswords!
I cooked for my Dad! (more Dad stories later, I promise)
I will miss you terribly! Caro and Colline, your story gifts will get finished while I am away. I have notebooks, I am prepared,also for all the other things I have been attacked with plot bunnies for *shakes fist at enablers* !

Ha, I even have an appropriate icon, for once. :)

Date: 2009-07-05 07:31 am (UTC)I hope Bulgaria is amazing - I have not thought to go to Bulgaria before, but what I have heard of it suggests it might be a nice future holiday. Hmmm. We only went to France but it was hot and sunny and I went red, much of which is now ever so slightly brown. Nobody else can tell, but I know the truth.
Also, I adore The Book Thief. Gorgeous, heart wrenching writing.

Date: 2009-07-09 06:34 pm (UTC)Bulgaria was gorgeous. Sounds like you had fun in France too! There is something wonderful about random times and games played in the sunshine with good friends. I am tanned, well, freckled, but the freckles have joined up in places so I almost look brown. It's a miracle!
Heart wrenching is so right.
