Variety Show

Tomorrow, I’m moving up to my new place for the coming college year! Pretty excited about it, too. I’m renting with two friends who are also studying German, we have a nice place. (It’ll be nice being around other language students again - it’s pretty fun being able to mess around and throw foreign language phrases into my sentences, or even segue into German/Russian altogether, as opposed to holding back for the sake of not whigging people out.) This is going to be my second year of college, but my first ever one of renting my own place. (I stayed in student apartments before.) Exciting!!

Anywho, I’m not going to have internet until sometime next week. Whenever it gets connected after us signing up. So enjoy the queue, which should last until Sunday evening!

Finally concluded all the accommodation search nonsense yesterday, with paying the deposit (and getting a receipt, don’t worry), and agreeing on how we’re going to work things for moving in, and when we’ll be paying the deposit + moving in.

No more stressing over accommodation, at least!

I also went to bed early (midnight!) last night once we drove home, I was exhausted, and then I woke up tismorning at an hour no-one should during summer holidays… 9am. Okay, I’m joking, but I still thought it must be 1pm or something when I woke up all refreshed and everything. Pleasantly surprised.

Alrighty, I did two hours of Russian study (yeahhh!) so I think I’ll play TF2 for an hour (yeahhh!).

Also everyone you better render your steam usernames onto me already. So I can add you. (So I can randomly select the “person who introduced you to TF2” from a list so they can get whatever the reward is.) As well as bug you to play with me.

Also…

The loss of leather gloves is a painful one indeed… I lost my red ones a while back :(

oh gsoh I know the feel of losing perfect leather gloves. :c

Let us join together in the corner of glove-woe. ): No longer shall I be able to just slip ‘em on and instantly feel like I’m somehow an unflappable suave douchebag, without actually being suave or a douchebag. Or unflappable, for that matter.

I come back on tumblr wondering what the heck I’ll do with an extra Pomson 6000 and suddenly BOOM there’s been a Homestuck update.

I think I may want to watch that flash again. (Mostly though I think I may slither off to go and play TF2 some more. Also AHH I was waiting to get the Huntsman, but it turns out I’m kind of way worse with it than the regular sniper rifle.)

(Speaking of worse, I’m tragically rubbish at playing as Scout, Engineer and Spy. Spy especially. I wish I could be sneaky but I’m too clumsy in-game for that.)

Wow, I totally just slept for 13 hours. That is a thing I just did. 
Time to go organising accommodation stuff some more, I guess. 

Just got my hair cut! It’s sort of like a pageboy cut, but without the fringe. I wanted to get it shorter - to my chin - but the hairdresser wouldn’t because my hairline was too low. It’s nice, though, I’m glad I did it.

Oh - and I’ll be going up to Dublin this weekend to meet up with friends + go to the Pride parade, so I won’t be around. (So no Saucy Sunday this week.)

Dang, I sort of cannot believe that I am now 20 years old! Although that’s not an entirely unusual thing, pretty sure that’s something I think about my current age every time I have a birthday, haha.

Anywho it’s time for me to get ready and then scurry off to the National Art Museum. I think they have some Harry Clarke stuff there, so one of the things I want to do is hunt it down and then coo at it… Unless it’s in storage… 

I hope everyone has a great day!

Will be glad to move back home for the summer this coming weekend. Especially since I’m not really too good at looking after myself. 

Plus my parents have held out on going to see the Avengers until I get back, I think partly for my birthday? It was strangely heartwarming to hear that, I must admit. (A certain portion of our family bonding time - or whatever you want to call it - comes in the form of watching TV shows or movies together.)

Have to think up what I’m going to do to celebrate with my friends back home… I’m not always the best when it comes to organising that kind of thing, I must admit. Although I have a fairly neat line-up of stuff I’m planning to do on Wednesday. Lazer tag is always fun.

Anyway, last exam tomorrow.

This jam. Smells so good.

So good.

Seriously anyone with a local branch of Lidl get yourself down there and buy the marlene “brand” 55% (total fruit content) raspberry jam. It’s got vanilla in it, too. 

I may have briefly contemplated committing the heinous crime of eating jam directly from the pot, it smells that good.

Now it’s time for me to go to bed, because I’ve been eating wholegrain baguette slices covered in jam for the last hour and it’s way past my bed time.
