Home again, home again. Jiggety jig. Internet, yay! Hopefully it will not prove too distracting. Already I am hours on the internet DOING NOTHING!

I have pretty much done one of my essays. Apart from the fact that there is still one more paragraph I want to write and simply am not doing, and it is 3,700 words and counting and should only be 3,000, and I haven't done all of my footnotes yet, which are also counted in the wordcount. And I'm not sure I've actually said anything of particular use or question-answering-ness. But it is mostly done. So I have only 3 more to do now. I think I will be reading this week, and then start writing after Christmas. Yes.

( Victim of credit fraud! Omg! )

My flatmates and I had House Christmas yesterday. I did not go to bed until 4am (the suicide hour! I did not commit suicide. I think I should have a badge). We had a lovely ham, and lovely gravy, and parsnips and yule log and After Eight mints. And my flatmate, who had already bought me a Bad Girls Guide calender weeks before and given it to me because I'd had a shit day, had bought me a beautiful handheld mirror from Oxfam which I'd noticed and mentioned and mourned when it was gone the next day! Am love on her! Also we played Atmosfear and I BEAT THE GATEKEEPER!!! With some cheating I think. But still. Colour me victorious :) And we played charades until long into the night/morning, and I did a very good Napoleon. It was all very good.

Things which make me happy:

• The Philadelphia Story slash! Connor/C.K. Dexter Haven! With drunkeness and you-read-my-book! and everything it always should have been, Jimmy Stewart eeee...


• Blackpool slash! Which made me feel like I know the characters inside-out with a mere this and brief show overview found on virgin.net. And was scaldingly hot besides. Detective Inspector Tennant, omg. I must watch Blackpool now. Must watch.


• I am insanely jealous of all my friends who got to see Barty Crouch Jr DI Carlisle Tenth Doctor YOU KNOW WHO cook and be lovely. Omg ::hates::


• I ordered my CD from draco_malfoys! :D Which an e-mail to tell me they hadn't got a billing address from Paypal told me will be sent out between today and Monday. Hopefully shipping will be Short and Sweet and I will have it before I go back to Nottingham.


• I am reading House of Leaves. I have an icon I think is suiting. I read extracts for my Mythologies module and fell in love and am going to try to read it all this week along with my reading for two other essays so I can write my Rewriting Myth essay on it. I am not sure what this will say, but House of Leaves omg. I love it and fear it. I fear my walls. Like, all the time. The thing about House of Leaves is that it makes you fear your walls whether they shift or not. Time will tell what all this will do to my brain.


• Internet, yay!


• Dad took me to Pizza Hut for dinner, and the waitress got a piece of my pizza on her shirt, and went off to get me 'another slice', and I ended up taking a free pizza home! Even though it was not cooked to beautiful browness, and stone cold by the time I got it home. Still - score!


• I went to see King Kong!

( King Kong spoilers )

Sigh. There is a community. Which welcomes slash. I watch it with interest. Yes.
