girlofpreyIn one week, I will be going to see the Mighty Boosh with K.
In two and a bit weeks, it will be the end of term.
In two and a half weeks, I will be 21.
In three and a half weeks, my Green Wing DVDs will be delivered :D
It's slightly terrifying that it's already practically the end of term. Although this has been a short term, and we're still having some lectures and seminars after Easter. But we also have a couple of assessed pieces and a Takeaway Exam pretty much straight after Easter. And the fact is, I haven't really been doing any work so far except the basic reading/workshop exercises. I've read no theory or historical/contextual stuff. I've written nothing (I don't think the Craig/Wade angst will count). So I feel like I should be panicking. Or settling in for a stressful Easter.
The birthday thing is just plain odd. I'm going for a meal with the family, and as far as I know they're (well, mum's) still deadset on buying me some fancy lump of gold or platinum 'keepsake'. Which is lovely, and I'll probably appreciate it in years to comewhen I sell it for crack?, but seems like not the most useful thing I could get. Although to be fair, if I was to get what I wanted it'd probably be a short list of DVD boxsets and a trip to Cuba. So usefulness is probably not my key arguing point here.
American Gothic is out soon. AndBarty Crouch Jr Goblet of Fire. Still no word on the Crime and Punishment DVD. I live in hope.
I discovered this icon yesterday. I don't even like it all that much, but all of a sudden I want to write a book about a post-apocalyptic world (or, perhaps, just like our world, but without electricity and cars and such) wherein books are suddenly seen in the same light as drugs - not necessarily illegal or harmful, but just sort of wasteful and self-indulgent now the world's gone to hell. And the library's are now 'owned' by the criminal underworld, and there are gangs of hardcore literature-heads like the Modernists, and the Sci-fi crew, and the Romantics (they will fuck your shit up), and you can get literally stabbed for a book. Also there are some fires. Possibly there are a hundred books like this. Possibly I will write it anyway. Except that the thought of a world without central heating, where you just have to be cold, all the time makes me want to cry a bit. Possibly I will save it and do Nano. Possibly you'll never hear about it again. Yes.

(The Buck/Brady Bunch sounds really awfully creepy, and I'm suddenly (even more) glad I never watched those movies. Ahem.)

Date: 2006-03-08 06:15 am (UTC)You are going to be 21 this is very young, in some ways much more young than 20, although the fact hat everyone is 20 is quite disgraceful. I should make older friends. Yes. I think my mum took me to Greece when I was 21, this was good although it was a blatant attempt to make me talk to her again.
Your book sounds great, I do not know if it has been written, probably it has, write it ANYWAY. There is an episode of Jeremiah where there is a library and a boy who is protecting it because of its importance in their post apocalyptic world, but there are nto different crews, it would be a great book and you write good. Good.

Date: 2006-03-08 06:33 am (UTC)OMG, A BOT! A BOT! HELP, SAVE ME FROM THE BOT!!Ahem.
You LJ-crawler! Get back under the rock you came from!Ahem.
::will stop laughing any second now::
I don't understand about the 21 being much younger than 20
is it BOT-LOGIC???. I can't even pretend I'm vaguely a teenager anymore. But I like the thought enough that IT CAN BE TRUE. But I will be 21 soon, and thus automatically an older friend. In the process of getting older. YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ME THAT EASILY.I may well write the book. Probably I should focus on uni work first. But I already have an icon for it! And I am, omg, in love with the idea, except that the main character will probably essentially be me. I'm not so good at characters. But I do love the plot. Yes.

Date: 2006-03-08 06:37 am (UTC)20 is quite old because you are suddenly in your twenties, but 21 is just that age that used to be 18 so you are automatically younger again. 22 is a proper age and then 24 is old and 25 it turns out is NOTHING because next I have to be 26 when clearly I should have more purpose in my life and I DO NOT.
WRITE THE BOOk. You will be a good character. You should be in it and maybe Craig as well, and Francis, and STEAL CHARACTERS FROM FIC, do that. YAY!

You're not a bot. Totally. I met you. Unless you're a terminator, programmed to fit in on LJ, and sent back to destroy a future leader of the revolution! Who is currently just watching DVDs and blogging, unaware of their destiny. But you'd never do that. Never.
(I think it's
I like your age logic. It is quite true that odd-numbered ages far excel beyond even-numbered ages. I had an annotated list once. But never mind that. Hurray for turning 21! And you totally have purpose in your life.
To destroy the chosen one!;) ::dances you::

Date: 2006-03-08 08:30 am (UTC)TOTALLY IT IS NERDCAKES! TOTALLY. And although the thought of hanging around in order to find out exactly how she will become the future leader and how hysterical it will be when she is the leader and giving speeches and making plans and whatnot, I will kill her anyway because I AM GOOD AT DOING MY MISSION. Also, you seem to know all the secrets; possibly you are a threat to the security of my secret mission which I can't really remember if I am meant to know about myself and stuff. I might take you out anyway just in case. "take you out", see? I am great at being a killing thing. ahem.MY AGE LOGIC IT IS UNBEATABLE.

Date: 2006-03-09 07:48 am (UTC)Would it not be a thing of some glory? I think we should tell her. After I REPROGRAMME YOU, hah! Then you can be a Terminator 2 terminator, and your AMAZING KILLING THING SKILLS will be ours, and all will be well. I'm willing to become Sarah's lieutenant, for the sake of the our futures. And do whatever she thinks would be best for effecting the glorious revolution. Following her orders to the letter, and then coming back for more. Yes.Trees are pretty.
