girlofpreyHello! :)
I am randomly happy today. Hurrah.
Also I just had some pick'n'mix. Mmm.
Went out for halloween, after much self-debate/overthinking. Was a doll. Which essentially meant I got to wear a nice dress and coat and put a bit (lot) of white make-up on my face, and lipstick. I tried to do the scary blinking, but it didn't really pan out. But flatmates and I had fun, and made some random movies on K's phone (I'm a star!). Oh, and small people came to the door, in costumes, with lights, and I gave them galaxy ripples, and I was filled with the halloween spirit, and yes. We did not have a pumpkin. J carved an orange. I was not amused. But it was fun. Yes :)
Past halfway with Lemony Snicket 12. It has gotten dark again. I like it best when it is dark. You won't know what I'm talking about but Chapter Nine! Justice Strauss and Jerome Squalor! Everyone is a treacherous person! Count Olaf is an orphan! Carmelita is a dyke! Carmelita/Violet and Esme/Violet like woah! And 'Hooky' and Fiona double-crossing and double-double-crossing, and omg! He went to find Hector, slash-OTP VINDICATED! Yowza.
And Dewey dead. Dewey shot with harpoon gun and had a weird, stabby/drowny death in front of the Baudelaire's very eyes. Omg. And I have a horrible feeling he is the father of Kit's baby, which is even more omg. But it is good. I think I can imagine Violet/Hook-Handed Man better when all is dark. It is yummy and yes :)
But I am getting slightly worried about how ASOUE will end though. Because I want to believe the children will live, and all will turn out for the well, as with general kidlit - but it's looking more and more like Lemony is writing this rather a lot in the future, and isn't terribly impressed with how it all ended, so oh no! But he hasn't finished the finding out yet. I rely on that.
I don't know why I'm not hearing more about the 12th book from my ASOUE comms, but ah well. Maybe they've all lost interest - I'm the last safe fan! Ah well.
In other news, I want to live on a pirate ship.
And I have learned how to put text on icons using Microsoft Paint. Which inexplicably looks much more indistinct when saved than it does in the paint programme. But anyway - as such, behold my crappy text icons! Which I'm inexplicably proud of! You'll probably be seeing a lot of them in the weeks to come :)
I'll download Photoshop someday. Probably.
And; people are doing Nanowrimo. People are freaking out about Nanowrimo. ::Hugs/valium:: to them. I am thinking about Nanowrimo, if it is even possible, and despite the catch-up I would have to be doing. My old plot, which I actually had and everything, is haunting the back of my head. But I'm actually enjoying writing plain old fanfiction at the moment. And making crappy icons, which have a wordcount now! So hmm. Yes.
::love::
