Buhfly and Hedda: I have received your cards! Thank you. They arrived whilst I was in New South Wales.

Buhfly: my New Year hasn't passed yet, as Samhain's in April in this hemisphere.

FUCK.

I just checked the uni's website, looking for the dates of withdrawal and so forth for this year.

I didn't realise the Summer Term had already started. I didn't think that I'd be taking the subject, frankly, due to RMIT offer. I didn't realise it started so early. Last Monday, in fact.

FUCKITY FUCKITY FUCK FUCK.

So what do I do now? Try to catch up? Drop the subject? I didn't bloody know. Stupid Unimelb. Aren't they supposed to warn us that uni's starting again?


[Edit: Wait. According to the subject timetable, it doesn't start until February. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE DATES ON THE WEBSITE WERE CORRECT, AND DIDN'T SAY "5th January" WHEN THEY MEANT FEBRUARY. SOME OF US HAVE HISTORIES OF HEART PROBLEMS IN OUR FAMILIES, THANKS.]

Whizz for Atomms

So. Today I received Radish's package (a "wintergreen" candycane and some very cocoaish organic chocolate with almonds in it, of which there is little left. Wintergreen is odd and tastes like listerine). Thank you very much, deary. *squathes*

I bleached my roots and became even more blonde than I was yesterday (I frightened most of my friends yesterday, I think). I lost my hairdye and remained blonde. I found my hairdye. Hair now purple and blue.

I made two animated LOTR icons, from the screencaps here: worth looking at just for the screencapper's anguished cries.

I also started making a Molesworth icon set (this fabulous idea was brought around indirectly from my reading Neil Gaiman). Glancing through the net to see if I could find any decent Molesworth pictures to save my scanning them all (I couldn't), I discovered a glorious fanfic: ho for hoggwarts!. I'd recommend it to you, as it had me screeching hysterical with laughter, but unless you've actually read Molesworth I don't think you'd get it. The idea for this particular icon is filched from it unashamedly.

I also found an amusinge comic parodying the various LOTR fans here.

I have seen Return of the King three times since it came out. I have read The Hobbit and two thirds of The Fellowship of the Ring. I have been to two LOTR marathons in the last few weeks. I'm so Tolkiened out it's not funny.

Conversation earlier tonight:
Sister: So, you going out this Friday night?
Me: Nope.
S: Oh.
M: Why?
S: I was just going to have friends over--
M: And you're afraid I'll cramp your style?
S: No. It's just that I thought you had Cox's party. Isn't that this Friday?
M: *pauses, panics, runs to room, checks invite glued to door*
M: *runs back* Yes. Yes, it is. Thank you for that.

Whelp, back to FOTR. I want to get this finished, dammit. And I'm not admitting to the fact that I translated my name into Elvish (Quenya specifically, not Sindarin). Nope. Because that would be terribly geeky. I didn't use one of the many LOTR fonts on my computer to write it in Tengwar, either. Nor did I wibble about whether to use JRR or Christopher Tolkien's standard for writing vowels.

...

*hangs head* I'm such a lost cause.
