Hello! :)

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 Spoilers )

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::

Downloaded RealPlayer in an attempt play Jekesta's Drop the Dead Donkey DVDs, after an attempt to watch an episode on Paramount was cruelly thwarted by the rest of the family. Well, it downloaded fine, but sadly it still won't play them as DVDs. All I get is the sound. It said something about downloading something to play the content, and then that it couldn't download that particular something. All I know is I can't watch lovely Damien 24/7. Growl.

Does anyone else think that (B&Q?) advert almost ordering you to 'tell (B&Q) what happens in your kitchen' is slightly frightening and 1984-ish? Hmm.

I screencapped the last half-hour or so of Die Hard. It turned up some suprising discoveries and some lovely shots of McClane's hair. Tiring though. And my stupid DVD player keeps shutting itself off at the critical moment! Just because I want it to stop going backward at 1/2 and start going forward at 1/4 so I can pause it and take a screenshot! Growl!

I hearby rec [livejournal.com profile] guede_mazaka's Divinity series. It's a Boondock Saints/Once Upon a Time in Mexico crossover with plenty of Norse myth thrown in, and my head's in too much of a funny place to read it but it looks damn good, and she's a great writer anyhow, so if you're into the fandoms check it out.

I've had an idea for a Nanowrimo novel, which I think could easily stretch to 50,000 words if I gave it a go. The problem is if I can set enough time out of studying and, y'know, sleeping in November. But I really am quite taken with the idea, and if it was Nanowrimo and the challenge was just to get the damn thing out on the page, I think I'd probably have a fair whack at it. Hmm. Details, details, cut in case you're not interested in the least )

Today was pretty bad family-wise. I'm pretty close to posting all the sordid details just so I don't have to keep making veiled and I'm sure annoying references to 'family drama'. And partially so I can stop worrying anyone reading thinks I'm whining about a few arguments. But I don't want to dump it on anyone either, and make them uncomfortable. And I don't want an excuse to go on and on about it here. Here is the place for joy and laughter and squee, and...pretty icons. Sigh.

It's really hot. Really hot :(
