laliandraHey!
I haven't updated in a little while because of ARGDISSERTATION. But that is done now! So I bring you some 5 things memes, plus a really, really late Mission101 update.
Take a meme, if you like. I am feeling meme-ish and in a picture taking mood, and they are pretty fun ones!
5 things that have made me happy this week
1. Handing in my dissertation! YES! I WILL CAPSLOCK WITH GLEE ABOUT THIS!
Look it is a thing that is bound, like a book, with my name on it!
2. The new shoes I bought myself in celebration.
They were remarkably cheap (oh H&M, how do I love thee) and are massively comfy. Plus, you know, purple...
3. POST! THank you fabulous ladies of Spam (FLOS?). I got pretties from Kaz! And a special politics geek-y wordsearch from Colline!
Look how spifftastic it is! And what a lot of work it must have been! <3
4. Dancing every day. I love to dance, and I'm going to be in the university dance show next week, so we are practicing like crazy. Samba, salsa and reggaeton! It's so much fun, plus I get lots of endorphins without having to go to the gym or anything unpleasant like that. Or worse, jogging *shudders*
5. A copy of The Official Secrets Act Album! Finally. I am mildly obsessed with the song Hold The Line... A song that magages to be sentimental, but in a really good way? While referencing silly eighties bands? That you can dance around the room to? A total winner in my book.
Five things I would take with me in a fire.
1. My small but lovely collection of jewellry I inherited from Mum.
2. My snippet book, full of cards and tickets and souvenirs.
3. My notebooks, full of stories and journal type things.
4. Edward bear. I've had him since I was 2 weeks old.
5. My copy of The Demon's Lexicon, because its signed and kind of orreplacable. Plus I've made notes in it because I am a dork.
5 things I keep in my handbag
1. My shiny blue phone. Which is very tempremental but so pretty I forgive it.
2. My cheap Primark purse that I thought would fall apart in a month and has lasted years.
3. Notepad and pen. For to do lists and epic romances.
4. Lal's Diary. Lal's life would fall apart without it, sadly.
5. My passport. Unusual in its markings, my only proof of age and I can run off to Mali instantly should the mood take me.
Mission 101
In the last month I have
Baked a delicious malteaser cake!
Completed the crossword 2 times!
Handed in a piece of work I started more than a month before the deadline.
Read TDL! And Red Seas Under Red Skies! And The Thief! They were all absolutely brilliant, I would highly recommend them all. My books of the year so far, get out your monies if you can.
I saw The Official Secrets Act. I know, again. And The Specials! Who were surprisingly awesome.
Raised £35 for The Motor Neurone Society by dragging 4 of my friends along with me to a fundraiser quiz supper thing which was £7 each. The whole night raised over £1000, which is excellent.
Taken lots of pictures of the Isle of Man.
Watched the sun rise after staying up all night reading.
That's all folks!

Date: 2009-05-03 11:24 am (UTC)I do have the gold bracelet I got as a 'Whee you are now born and may walk this earth' present that has my name on it though. Ma gave it to me the day I graduated high school, all 'now you can ostentatiously wear gold on a daily basis'. It's kind of like my very own pimped up version of an ID tag, I guess?? XDD
And the purple shoes were H&M??? And they are comfortable?? H&M SHOES?? Holy crap dude, way to rock my previously sound assumption that H&M shoes are to be treatedly warily as they always seem v. suspicious in the Viennese stores, at least.
YOUR PASSPORT IS AWESOME LOOKING, I LOVE THE GINORMOUS EMBLEM/LOGO/CORRECT WORD FOR WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY. Mine is all faded and has a dorktacular pic of me inside ffffff I need it to be 2014 already so I can get a new one :(

Date: 2009-05-03 03:12 pm (UTC)I KNOW RIGHT? I was like, well, it's not like they are going to fit nicely or anything because H&M shoes never do wait a second oh my god they are the comfiest shoes EVER. It's weird. They come in black too, I am very seriously considering getting a pair.
My passport picture is also very dorktacular. My poor 16 year of self looks like she has just been hit over the head with something.
And it is the Crest! There is a lion and a unicorn! And it says all sorts of pompous stuff inside.

Date: 2009-05-04 03:14 pm (UTC)Will wonders never cease! Heh, I doubt H&M'd have my size (ginormous feet ugh), but dude you should totally get that second pair!!
CREST! DURRRRRRRR SELF DURRR *headslap* We Austrians have our Hawk-eagle thing that doesn't look like the German one at all, noooooo >_>;; Also it is printed so small, boo.
