drained Music: Take a Bow - Rihanna Reading: The New GirlDay two of NaBloPoMo! So far, so good.
Preemptive birthday greetings to Corinne. It’s her birthday on Tuesday. 
We might get to spend her birthday at Lavo, if we can find enough people to come with.
Right, so all the cramping, sore muscles and general ickiness that I’ve been feeling these past few days were precursors to my crimson wave that my body so thoughtfully decided to start today. At work. UGH. At least I have the next day or two off. I can lay about in my pajamas, perhaps catch up on Torchwood: Children of Earth, and my French crash course that I forgot I had bought, lol. I don’t have to put on a fake smile and pretend everything’s OK.
Shoot, I might even start Deathly Hallows. I was inspired by watching HBP this weekend to read it, haha. I think it’s time to say my goodbyes though. I have to pay my respects so to speak. I can’t put it off any longer. *le sigh* I watched Harry and the gang grow up in the books and in the movies. Humaira and me even included them as characters in our virtual TV series, The Alliance of Destiny. They’re family to me. I don’t want to let them go because their stories end with Deathly Hallows. I can go back and read the series until the day I die, but it’s simply not the same. *grabs tissue box* Talk about preemptive strike. I know who dies, since I’ve spoiled myself silly already. I’m going to need tissues when I read it as they occur in the book.
Like the new theme? I was feeling creative, and colourful. The grey dull was nice for awhile, I’ll be honest. It fit my mood. But this I adore. The girl in the header is Namie Amuro, one of my favourite Jpop artists. She’s done a lot of hip-pop (one of her past albums was even called “Queen of Hip-Pop”) lately, which is what got me into her. Her early stuff was way more Jpop – and I enjoy it – but not as much as her club bangers.
I added all my programs from the Tardis to Torchwood. Well, I’m adding them as I blog, haha. Everything’s pretty much over from the Tardis, except my fonts, brushes & gradients. I’ll get them tomorrow. I figured I’ll get the easy stuff out of the way, the stuff I can download from the internetz.
My little brother’s back from his cruise! Not that kind of cruise. The military one, lol. He’s home, safe and sound with my sister-in-law and my baby girl M in San Diego. I can’t wait to see them in a few weeks. It’s the baby’s first birthday. But they’re holding it in Modesto, our old hometown. San Diego’s only 4.5 hours away. I should jump in my car and go say hi, but alas, I cannot.
Speaking of my car, five more days and I’ll be able to drive her again. Joy! I’m so depressed every time I see the rental. I hope I can get her before I have to go to work that day. I’ll be so pissed if I can’t get her that day. Of course, they don’t have any shop hours on their website. I wasn’t even home when they came to get Sunny. I had to be at work (that last epic 8 days straight mess) so my parents handled it for me.
I think it’s time to relax. But at least I posted on time!
?: “Have you ever been emotionally attached to literary characters before?“
The less that can be said about me, the better.
Oh man, I was so sad when Deathly Hallows came out, but also excited to see what would happen. Haven’t read the books since i said goodbye to the characters, I think I needed to mourn.
I’m still in mourning, because if i start reading again then I’ll just start crying. They were part of my formative years and there’s nothing to describe that excitement when you got your paws on a new book and the excitement, theories etc.
*Sigh* Hope you’re feeling better now, and oh man. Children of Earth will make you cry. Make sure you have LOTS of tissues.
I’d never really been involved with a series and characters like I had with the Harry Potter world. I’m glad I was able to find people to share it with too. Who says the internet is bad? lol.
I am feeling loads better, thank you. Just relaxing, taking my time.
I am stocking up on tissues right now. I know who dies in Torchwood too. D:
Literary characters I’m definitely attached to are the Harry Potter ones, of course. I thought of them as my own friends and family, I cared about their happiness and safety.
Glad you’re brother’s home and safe
I wish men had an equivalent of women’s cramps and overall ickiness at a certain time of the month, don’t you?
