But not a real green dress, that's cruel
I miss my RPing. I think the lack of Lucifer is doing something to my personality - I'm looser, more immature, more prone to spontaneous bouts of emotion. But I am also an absolute perfectionist where it comes to work - always have been, always will be - and so the RP will have to wait until assessment ends, no matter how painful it is. I haven't had enough sleep for about a month. I haven't written in my journal for about the same time because I have collapsed into bed every night. I haven't written, properly written, for a very long time, and I am afraid that it will get harder to start again with every day I leave it.
On a slightly more cheery and less self-pitying note,
shoebox_project should be updated tonight :)
30 facts meme, first fact paraphrased from Art for appropriateness:
1. The scar on my torso that I joke is from a knife fight? No. Actually major heart surgery when I was very little. I had two aortas, and they were crushing my windpipe.
2. I got in trouble in kindergarten for showing my underwear to some boys.
3. I had a major crush on a guy in Grade 4, and I even made up a nickname for him (“Ace”) and half-stalked him for a while until I got bored.
4. I adore cathedrals, mostly because I spent an inordinate amount of my childhood being dragged around England looking at them.
5. I broke my arm trying to go down a water slide standing up.
6. John Cusack’s voice makes me embarrassingly turned on.
7. I am trying hard to make myself like coffee. So far I can drink a caramellatte without wincing after every mouthful.
8. I have exactly 15 outlines for novels on my computer.
9. My favourite movies of all time include Buffalo Soldiers and Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil. Also The Saint, embarrassing through that is.
10. I have a phobia of swimming at the beach due to some horrible experiences with jellyfish.
11. I have a vague crush on a girl in Dance Festival who also catches my bus home.
12. I am a massive, massive Shakespeare junkie. I can recite the opening speech from Henry V, most of Miranda’s lines and a fair amount of Prospero’s from The Tempest and huge amounts of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. With a little bit of revision I could also do Marc Antony’s funeral oration.
13. The first movie I ever saw at the cinema was Aladdin.
14. I blame my dislike of pink on one fateful Disney picture that I coloured in almost entirely pink, and found out that it looked truly dreadful in large amounts.
15. I would actually really like to be a chef.
16. I plan to do my PhD overseas, and harbour a sekrit desire to live in America or England afterwards. Or maybe Canada.
17. I really am an incredibly bossy person. I have to bite my tongue to stop myself from correcting people or telling them what to do.
18. I like to think I can cook far better than I actually can.
19. I will probably end up throwing my virginity away because I’m sick of it.
20. At the time of doing this, I have three LJ posts, two Word documents and WMP open. This is why I never get anything done.
21. Animated movies can make me ridiculously emotional.
22. Once I get into it, I really enjoy cleaning my room.
23. I have to have music on when I’m in the car or sitting in my room, or else I get uncomfortable and jittery.
24. Sometimes I am very, very bad at taking compliments gracefully. I duck my head and lose my sense of articulation.
25. I believe in loving deeply but don’t know if I believe in being ‘in love’.
26. People who cannot use punctuation properly piss me off above all other things.
27. At this moment in time the material possessions I most desire are Sandman and Queer as Folk on DVD.
28. I want to get drunk. Because it looks like fun, that’s why.
29. I normally pride myself on not losing my temper, but when at my most stressed I can be very vocal and very violent.
30. Half of me really wants to be able to cry again, and the other half is insane and thinks that six years is a really good record and hey, why not go for ten?

Bah, it is called multitasking. Says I of the two music program windows, one recording window, two LJ windows, one IM window and one Explorer window.
28. I want to get drunk. Because it looks like fun, that’s why.
I BAGS RIGHTS TO GET YOU DRUNK ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, DAMMIT. O_o

But I'll be more than happy to go somewhere with you when I get back. You can take me to Cube, like you keep saying you will.
