Yay, my old layout is back! 'Unearthed', if you will. That was a scary and confusing evening ::pets the beautiful layout::

Well, I've only been up for 2 hours, but it is already a paying day today. I booked a ticket for The League of Gentlemen in October :D

jekesta convinced me with her words. And I do very often kick myself for missing out on Dylan Moran's Monster last year. And I had to pay an extra £2.25 to ticketzone for their middle-man behaviour, and a pound for postage and packaging, and if I'd gone into the actual Royal Centre I'd have got a student discount - but I wasn't about to do that any time soon. Hopefully I won't have a super important seminar of doom on the same night, but barring that - I'm going to be sharing a room with Reece (Reeson!) Shearsmith! Squee!

Also, I got my bank statement, and realised that deposit for

connotations hadn't gone out - ::annoyed glare::. So I called up to check my booking was alright, because I worry, and I don't want £100 in my account that I can't spend. That's just wrong. All is fine (yay!), and they're going to charge me...something. Half, or one night, or something, and send me the receipt soon.

Which is to say, I have no money, or very little. Dad is talking about me getting a router for my bedroom and paying him half - I am trying to explain that I have no cash and thus this will not happen anytime soon. It has not sunk in yet. I'm applying for a job in a shop in town with a 'student vacancy' though, so hopefully all will be sorted soon enough :) (ETA: daddy has ordered one already. And 'doesn't know' if I have to pay him half. This should turn out interesting.)

In other news: Screencapping perhaps the best hobby ever! Pretty pictures! And you can make up your own stories to them! And by ignoring irrelevent characters (wives, girlfriends, etc), or at least separating them into a 'pretty, but distracting!' folder, you can pretend the entire film/series is a love story between whomever you choose! And looks between them can be as long and lingering as you want them to be ::glories in it::

And finally: the near-ending of Lolita (30 pages to go); ::flails/falls down/cries:: He loves her so!! Even though she is no longer a nymphet, and 'ruined', and pregnant to someone else! Even though she is young and foolish and only cares about money, and didn't even know or care how he felt about her! All the things you hate him for during the book make you feel sorry for him by the end - the reason he can't be with her now is the very fact that he was with her, but if he hadn't wanted her as a 'nymphet' he would never have known her enough to fall in love with her!

Yes, he's still a paedophile, and he broke her life, but he feels as bad about it as anybody (chapter about how he went to see the priest - ::almost dies::), and its still a personal tragedy for him, which you can appreciate while hating what he's done. The tragedy of trying to create an acceptable, accessible 'persona' for a desired person to be, that they simply and stoutly - perhaps stubbornly/unimaginatively, perhaps because they value themselves too much - refuse to be.

Most twisted/most tragic love story ever. ::Flails/dies/cries::
