It's been approximately a million years, but since I've actually posted a couple of comments and replied to goss ' poll, I thought I'd post this to say I'm still here.

So... I have an exam this week. Of course that means I'm writing again. Enola Holmes anyone?

Hmm

So it's been almost three years... how did that happen? So anyway I have no idea if anyone is even still here, but if you are I have a question!

Is there anyone who's read the Mahabharata about? Or who hasn't but wouldn't mind reading a piece of drivel I can't get out of my head? :D?

This is a post

How long has it been since I posted anything? Anyway, torachan asked me about some of my (DW) icons, so here they are. If anyone else wants to ask me about other icons, go for it.

This one's been sitting in my pile for a long time. I don't use it all that much any more, and I can't remember in what context I picked it up, but I love the colours and the way there's a mask painted on her mask.

This bit of the anime made me laugh out loud so I was really pleased when I ran into this icon. Basically, Ichigo is an idiot, and I use this icon when I'm being silly or I think someone else is being ridiculous. Also, I think about Rukia's 'Ichigo, you dumbass' face everytime I see it and it makes me happy.

Aww, box-robots holding hands. This is my 'being supportive' or 'offering advice' icon. Also, I think it is adorable.

Mostly this icon is still in rotation because the colours are pretty. Also, I like the parallel tracks converging in the distance, so it gets used for 'travel' and 'togetherness'-type comments. When I comment at all...

Oh, hey, an icon I actually made myself. For a value of made that means 'cropped'... From this webcomic panel, which was lots of places on the interwebs for a while. It's still ridiculously cute and makes me smile so it's basically going to be in use forever. Firefox has all the cookies!

It's been five months since I posted anything, and I still have nothing coherent to say except that I've been listening to this acapella cover of 'Landslide' an awful lot in the last few days.

Foray into BPAL

2010-10-11T17:13:35Z

I recently got my first order, along with some freebie/trade imps. And since I know some of you are devotees, I thought I'd pop a list of the ones I didn't get along with here, if anyone's interested.

For the moment, two GC imps and two limited edition decants:

Ode on Melancholy: 'Lavender and wisteria, heart-wrenching pale rose, desolate white sandalwood and thin, tear-streaked white musk.'
To a Woman: 'Benzoin, cassis bud, patchouli, rose otto, and petitgrain'

Litha 2009: 'Golden honey and moss, with honeysuckle, chamomile, parsley, white gardenia, frankincense, carnation, vervain, gum arabic, yarrow, and liquid copal.'
Ode to Aphrodite: Morpho 2009: 'Jasmine, honey, labdanum, rosehip, ambrette seed, delphinium, and white ginger'

Will swap for foodie scents or anything with sandalwood, or just tell me you want to take them off my hands!

Suggestions please

What should I do with the £15 iTunes gift card I got as one of my early birthday presents? I'm thinking a movie but I have most of what I want on DVD already.

ETA: Audiobooks for my long drives! Rec me audiobooks. I prefer non-american accents (:|) but anything well-read would be great.

Failure

2009-09-30T19:51:10Z

So I managed to accidentally order two copies of the Tokyo Dome DVD, and they've both shipped. Is anyone interested in the spare copy?

In other (belated) news, I moved a couple of months ago, so I've got a new address. Leave a comment if you want it!

Just finished a pair of lacy ankle socks that I designed... for a value of designed that means putting together odd elements I like!

Mood of the day: A healthy dose of the pre-new job jitters, coupled with a sprinkling of temporary accomodation sucks.

(No showers! I feel dirty already.)

Winding Down

2009-07-17T15:21:27Z

I just handed in my bleep. I've got no more days left as an F1, and just four more nights. In a week I'll be officially done with my first job.

Some ways, I can't believe that it's already over. In other ways, I'm more than ready to move on.

Pirate Queen

2009-07-04T10:55:21Z

I'm calling this my Pirate Queen shawl-scarf-thing, because the pattern's called Juno Regina, and the colour of the yarn is Rum Point. Also, it is about a thousand times more soft than it looks. Mmm, cashmere.
