Good God, it's been awhile. Longer than awhile, actually...a loooong while. *rolls eyes* I've been meaning to update you guys on my life for a couple months, but for one reason or another I never manage to actually get anything written. I've mentally written a dozen or more entries when I've been in the bath (I do most of my best thinking in the bath) but by the time I get out and get dressed - or undressed - I've forgotten the details of what I wanted to write, and by the time I get into bed and read for awhile I've lost even the gist of it.
I got too much sun today. I'm sitting here in my little pink sundress, which I don't wear much because it started off as Mom's and it's too big and doesn't hold my boobs in (so I have to wear a bra, which I hate in the summer) and for once, I'm GLAD that it's too big because it doesn't rub my back, or have any material over the shoulders, which is where I'm burnt. I can't believe I burned just walking up to the Co-Op and around the car boot sale at the church for a few minutes. It was a tiny sale (although somehow we did manage to pick up a load of semi-nice-semi-junk) and we can't have spent more than twenty minutes walking around, so I don't know how I managed to pick up pink on my shoulders and some very obvious strap marks. I suppose I should count myself lucky that I was wearing a low dress with just two spaghetti straps on, rather than one of the halternecks. *shrugs*
Anyway, that was around midday, and I didn't realise I was burnt about eight this evening - but it certainly explains the tiredness and headache and stomachache that's been plaguing me this afternoon and that I'd assumed was just general me. (Or general M.E., take your pick.)
The TV is on, and an ad for one of those mobile apps just came on - touch free fart control. Get this app for your phone, and leave your phone on the table, and whenever one of your friends walks by it'll make a farting sound. So stupid, so why is it so hilarious? Or is it just me?
...You don't really need to answer that.
I've had an odd couple of weeks. Lots of visions, both pleasant and unpleasant. I've been dreaming about the Ainu more, too, and that's not a good sign. I know that chances are, nothing will happen and the dreams will go away after a little while, but until they do I know I'll be just slightly on edge, wondering every night when I go to sleep if I'll wake up to the same world in the morning.
The other dreams and visions...they're not public. By which I mean they're not anything that will affect anyone other than a few close friends. I don't mean they're not for public consumption. Consumption? That doesn't feel like quite the right word. Public appraisal? Public entertainment?
Mmm...Alicia Keys is on Channel AKA now. If there were one woman who could turn me, Alicia Keys would be it. Especially in that purple catsuit in the "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" video. Just thought I'd throw that in there. ;)
Most of my weeks are fairly uneventful: I go to class, I work, I take walks, I sleep, I eat, I read romance novels. Yet uni is over, has been over since the end of May, and I'm mostly off work for the summer, so how the heck is it that with all this free time, I'm getting less done than ever, and feel like the days are passing far too fast? Oh, I've DONE plenty of things in the last month, but nothing of any real value, aside from seeing a few friends. I went shopping with Chrissie twice, and saw the family for lunch twice, once at Tony and Debbie's, and then on 4th of July we did lunch here. (I got conscripted into making tuna-pasta salad and cornbread, which were both pretty good.) I'm happy to say it did NOT repeat the several 4th of July disasters that I've had in the years since 2005. I went to London last week to see my Dad and Jackie. I had dinner with Becki, which seems like only about two weeks ago, but must have been 6 or 8 weeks in reality. I had dinner with Curt two weeks ago (two real weeks, LOL).
I bought the first two new Vampire Diaries books (which are actually books 5 and 6, since she wrote the original quartet back in 1992 or 1993) and the first two Twilight books. I'm reading the first one (just called Twilight, I think) right now, started it this morning after getting sick of people telling me to read it. I didn't expect to like it much, but it's actually very charming. Not as slick and sexy as the Southern Vampires books (which became TrueBlood when they made the TV series) or as emotionally involving as the original Vampire Diaries books - or, for that matter, as terrifying as the new ones - but it certainly has its own brand of charm, and I can understand why people like it, if not quite why it became such an overnight sensation.
And no, despite buying the new Vampire Diaries books, I still don't like the TV series. With very few exceptions (TrueBlood being one of them) I hate TV shows and movies that don't remain true to a book - I think if you're going to make it, you need to make it right, otherwise you may as well just make something else.
I also got a couple of new summer dresses - three, actually - since I've grown so much taller that none of my old ones fit me anymore. Unfortunately, one of the new ones was great until I washed it, and now it doesn't suit at all - argh! Hopefully when I lose a bit of weight it'll be good again. The other two are very good, though - one of them is strapless (or has detachable straps) and is white with little purple flowers and a lilac ruffle round the hemline, and the other is loose and cream with red flowers in a line down the front, and unlined, and blessedly cool. And best of all, they're both cotton and loose and LONG, right down past my ankles. I had to get them in a 14, so they're both a bit tight in the boobs, but they look pretty good. :)
And also quite a lot of underwear - a black and red lace and satin chemise with black panties (which you can see in my photo album, LOL) and a sheer black robe and a pale pink and black cami thing, and a black and pink peekaboo bra with black and pink panties, and this amazing sheer white mesh bodysuit (with a little ruffle that makes it look like a tutu) which I sadly have to lose a little bit of weight to wear, because at my current weight it's just a little bit too short in the body.
I think that's probably all the news I have to offer you right now, except that I've been to the gym three times this week (and swimming once) and my muscles are killing me. I'm going to go swimming every Wednesday night, though, if anyone wants to join me. :) (Ladies only - it's ladies' night, although if any guys want to go sometime I'm up for suggestions!)
