There is no spoon.

Do you ever have days where you become conscious without actually waking up, and get an earworm of the sort used in theatres where one of the stars is ill and will have their part played by an understudy? "Today, the part of $my_full_name will be played by A. Zombie."

Been having that a lot, lately. Work has eaten the rest of my life. Things will be easier after today, as it was the AS chemistry exams this morning, so I've "got rid" of all those students for at least a few weeks (most are continuing next year, and will restart lessons in July). Things will be much easier after 19th June, when I'll have got rid of everyone and plan to go to Iceland for my birthday. I've wanted since my 21st birthday to go as far north as possible, to a place where it doesn't get dark all night. Looks like it may actually be achievable on my 32nd birthday. Many aspects of the trip are completely up in the air due to a total lack of spoons for organising, but I'm hoping that it'll happen even if it does end up as just me & Richard. Also, if things go well I won't be able to randomly take off for holidays when I want to for the next 5-7 years, instead being constrained by term times imposed externally, so it had better happen or else.

Feeling very disconnected from people. Too tired to be online even when I do have spare time. Been playing Dragon Quest VIII: The Journey of the Cursed King. Not doing much cooking. Eating lots of takeaway. Spoons do not exist.

Somehow I did not expect you to use that title for a journal entry. XD

Oi, DQ8. That game's art style makes my eyes bleed - Obvious (and badly) Cel-Shaded CGI with native 3D backgrounds causes my head to lapse into extreme vertigo. And if that's not enough, it's Toriyama style. x-x

At least the humor is worth it. And it IS a decent to good RPG. ^^;

... Yeah, I've been wondering where have you vanished to lately, but I theorized it had something to do with lack of spoons. (hug)Good luck with everything.

... Also on a completely different note, Katie and I finally have pictures together (two of which posted on my LJ, in case you haven't seen them yet.)

... I completely didn't notice I have a new comment on the post involving the pictures when I sent this comment. XD

Heh. I've always loved the artwork style. It was the first thing that made me want to play the game.

I especially like the fact that the cut scenes look identical to the rest of the game. I *hate* Final Fantasy's super-glossy cut scenes with a passion!

And hey, it's localised into British English ;)

They actually localize some games into British English? I had no idea o.o

Something tells me they're even more entertaining that way than the versions we receive :P

I've been noticing more lately in myself that the rainy, gloomy days we've been having a lot this spring are starting to get to me. It always makes me think of you because of the SAD issues you've mentioned having in the past. Taking a vacation to a place like that for your birthday sounds awesome, so best of luck finding a way through all the chaos to plan it out.

As for you being busy for the next 5-7 years, still think you'd have a spare day or two if me and Stel ever finally do manage to crash London area? ;) After the last discussion I had about it with El, Alex, and Rach, I think they'd kill me if it didn't happen >>;

I'm not non-stop busy for the next 5-7 years, dear gods, no. But I won't be able to take holidays whenever I please, like I do at the moment. That's all.

[maniackatie.livejournal.com]

You realize I was joking, eh? I think I need to work on that... ^^;

I just saw artremis's post! I'm pretty broke at the moment but your 2^5 birthday seems a good reason to buy you a drink this weekend ;-P
