It's not a cry you can hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light...

Today I went in to visit Ness at her work and I purchased a new phone since my old one was a little dilapidated and the battery was annoying. New phone is wi-fi enabled and snazzy and I downloaded apps for my yahoo!mail and a few other things. It also has a Tim Minchin background (took me forever to find one that worked because it has to be really wide instead of long) and it plays a Sherlock Holmes ringtone when the phone rings. I enjoy this! So farewell to the Barbie Dream Phone. I shall miss you BDP. You were good to me and you rotated pictures of my favourite people (the ones I don't know in person...). Alas, the time has come to part ways.

On the uni front, I have finally enrolled but this is after the head of the program himself had to call me and assure me they would get onto getting me through the approval process right away. US student loans at an NZ university are frickin' FUN, I'll tell you what. But I can't complain too much. Without them, I'd be up shit creek with no degree. Well...with two degrees I don't use, instead of three with one I DO hope to use.

Miss my housemates. They're at Canterbury Faire and I remain home, alone with the cat! Ness came over to watch Sherlock and entertain me, which was awesome! <3 And now, since I spent almost all of yesterday sleeping (I was literally awake for about 6 hours of yesterday in total. and then I slept until 10:30 this morning...), I will spend the night drinking tea from my dragon tea pot and writing things with myself and trying not to panic about poor Queensland and the category 5 cyclone headed towards them :(. Just fuck, man.

Jesus H. Particular Christ, my insides are melting. And yes YOU ALL NEEDED TO KNOW.

At least my back feels better today.

I have 7,500 words left of assessments to write, one mihi to give, and then one exam which I am not worried about, and this university year will be over. Three more days of class. Two if I can't be buggered going on Monday which, frankly, I might not be. All the assessment for that class is over! We'll see. We'll see.

I don't like endings. But a summer of nothing? I might be looking forward to that.

Instead of NaNo, because I don't wanna, I am going to write 50,000 words in my RPGs. Because I CAN. And I am going to learn to play my guitar again so I can do it like I did before, and I am going to jam on my uke with Alison and Ness :D And probably drink white wine in the sun (because all you Minchin fans were waiting for it) though the wine might just be sparkly. Moscatoooooo. And I'll get to revel in the beauty of the place I live in, because it is SO beautiful. And then in December/January, my Jayannpants is coming to visit. Every time I think about it, I just about cry of happy.

Things are wonderful, despite the way I started the post. I don't know. I think I deserve it.
