Where I'm at

2 min read
So I guess things are working out pretty well for me. I graduated from my Master's course, moved back home, got a volunteer job at my village shop, and suddenly found a job at a publisher's in my village! I didn't know we had one - turns out the little business had actually moved here to take advantage of the cheap rent only a week or two before I stuck my CV through the door. So I'm the office manager now, not that I have to manage anyone just yet. Mean's my free time's pretty thin on the ground, but I love my job, my boss is a great guy, and it rocks so hard to be able to afford things again! I've got some interesting cosplays planned for October in London. I don't think it would be much of a spoiler to suggest that me, KyuuketsukiNousagi and NekoCharlotte are looking forward to meeting the London Homestuck crew again. I've already bought a wig and a crapton of fake hair! Bet you're wondering who I'm going as now, right? I'm going to do one classic anime costume alongside the two Homestuck ones I'm planning, too. It's really more my forte, but it's great fun to cosplay in a group, and my HS buddies did come up with some really interesting ideas with me - I doubt there'll be anyvody dressed like me even in a massive group like that one. I mean, I did get to be the only Peregrine Mendicant last year!

Back to work, I guess!

Seems like everything I add lately is fanfiction. *shrug*
Well, I guess at least it's practice for my current course? It's always useful to be able to write in different styles.
Just updating because it's stupid that it's been two years since my last. Still alive, pretty happy, currently obsessed with little chickies going "PEEP!"

HANDS UP IF YOU WANT TO CLAIM THE KIRIBAN. D:

I know I've had very little time to post lately, especially with my scanner out of commission and all, but rest assured (those who care) I'm not abandoning DA! With that said, I'd like to point out that my pageviews have quietly been accumulating, and offer up a kiriban for my 10,000th. Anything goes, even if I haven't drawn for it before. Might take me until I get back up to Aberystwyth to get started, but I'd really love it if somebody called me on it, since nobody wanted my 5,000th (boo-frickity-hoo).

I've been busy charging about all over the county with my friends and family, and job-hunting. I've seen Prince Charles, I've dragged my fifty-year-old mother across every inch of Worthy Farm, I've watched the balloons go up from the Bristol Fiesta, I've watched the complete series of Invader Zim, I've perfected my recipe for sweet potato curry, I've been to the wedding reception of a schoolfriend, I've laughed my ass off at Bruno, I've met :iconultimalestat: irl, I've endured the homophobia and right-wing assholery of my mum's friends, I've started research on my dissertation, I've been to a WI talk on bees, I've handed out 160 CVs and had only ten replies, and I've started a job washing up in Cheddar Gorge. Amongst other things.

tl;dr hope everybody's still alive. I am. :love:

Omake: Guess the lyrics/iTunes shuffle. You know the drill. Have fun headscratching! :D

1. It was starbright, combat, corazon long shot on the rear...
2. Singing - come out upon my seas; curse missed opportunities.
3. Oh, your body is the same, and your face ain't changed, but your mind ain't where it's at.
4. On the other side there's an endless life to brighten the way.
5. Oh, the razorblade - wish it would snap this rope.
6. Set up for a letdown, open my eyes. New name for the same town. It's no surprise.
7. When my eyelids close after a hundred weary years, let me down easy.

Apologies to those of you who already know this... but my sweet little university town where everybody knows each other has clearly gone mental.

A fortnight ago a body was found in a shallow grave, in the village of Llanbarden, just outside the town. This... was somewhat cool, in my book. I figured it wasn't anything bad, just suspicious as fuck.

But last night I think was a little out of the ordinary for this little place.

There was an attempted murder in Pier Street, just round the corner from the little flat where I live.

And right below me, two floors down, in front of the tan shop which my landlady runs? Two guys had a fight and one threw the other clean through the shitting window.

What the fuck, Aberystwyth?
