Okay, so I know its forever since I last actually wrote anything for this but figure its about time I started again.
I've been busy. I mean, really, really busy.
Reasons I've been busy...
1) I finally got Writing Home up and running. Its looks soooo pretty. I just need to get back into the practice of writing original pieces now!
2) New design for Peaceful. Personally I loved the old one but it had been around for ages and then some so I decided it was time for something new. Anyway, I got inspired at three o'clock this morning... yesterday morning... this morning... whichever. So I got inspired and I got around to making a new layout!
3) A new archive! Electric is an archive solely for fanfiction for the pairing of Chloe and Lex on Smallville, which, btw I'm still totally loving despite the almost painful lack of screen time they're getting.
4) Writing... I know, a given for me but I've been doing even more and more recently. Speaking of which, I got nominated at Challenge Me, so go vote for me if you feel like it. lol
5) Absurdly high amounts of uni work. Eeeeeeeeviiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!
If anyone is wondering... yes I still have that Johnny Knoxville wp up.
Anyway I feel like complete and utter crap at the moment because of the evilness that is my period. I hate it. I really do. Its so not fucking fair. I start acting all out of character whenever I've got it because I just feel so shitty. Plus, I have no patience with my mother at the moment and that probably has something to do with it and as much as I would love to I'm not going to go into that at the moment.
I want a domain so badly. Really, I want a really cool domain thats fashionable and shit.
Anyway... gonna go and try and update fics.

Today was fun. I went for a really, really long walk this afternoon because the sun was still really strong and high in the sky and stuff. It really was a wonderful day outside, sort of like an early summer or a late spring one. For once I didn't mind the fact that this uni is out in the middle of nowhere. I even pointed out to Nat where the cows live!
My chem prac went well. The Wanker Dave didn't speak to me which was just great. I was worried that after last Friday's little overtures of friendship on his part he was going to think that everything was back to normal between us. Glad to see he's noticed that it isn't. I pity Liz that she actually has to work with the moron in lab. He's a prat. Today I saw him empty a pipette of Potassium somethings or other solution and Aspirin into a water bath just because he had accidently split some of it. Christ, he could easily have put some back in the flask. They're going to have such crap results from his parts of the experiment. Liz is totally doing all the work as well. She's been coming in on weekends to make up for the mistakes that he's been making. The moron hasn't even offered to help her. And he wonders why she's pissed at him...
Chem is of course my highlight of the week due to extended periods of time with Mr Yummy, aka Tony. Despite the fact it was really warm outside he was still wearing his woolly hat today. He looked adorable as usual. You know, I'm in such a good mood that I can't even complain about my lack of relationship with him. lol.
Its St Patrick's today. Great. Yay. For the first time in five years I haven't been able to go out on it because of my work load. Its my own fault, I should have done it over the weekend but then Liz told me today that we had this other piece that needs to be handed in tomorrow so I can't go out for risk of getting a hangover. I always get a hangover on St Paddy's night. Its like there is this unwritten rule that it must happen. I don't even have anything in suitable for drinking! I mean, I have vodka but nothing to mix it with and I always feel so shit if I drink vodka straight.

For once my biochem prac wasn't actually all that bad. We managed to get done early even though it was with Bitch Woman and I think it might have gone okay as lon as we didn't screw the sample too much by not having enough ice... Hmm... worrying. I was working with lamb's liver as well so I now officially stink of blood and it isn't going away. I kept getting strange looks off the people in the union shop when I went in looking for some chicken - which they didn't have by the way. I was hungry and everything but there was nothing worth buying except for some bread which I'm already regretting getting.
Dave aka The Pillock had the nerve to message me on msn tonight. There I was, happily enjoying my internet addiction and the next thing I know he's whinning on to me again but how sorry he is. Does he not get that I am a girl who DOES NOT DO SORRY? I felt like hitting him and probably would have if I could have. Not doing so well with the temper management recently...
The Johnny Knoxville obsession continues.
I think I'm going to go to the chem party when its on next week. Downside: Dave will be there. Upside: Tony may be there. The 'may be' on the upside of the argument far outweighs the downside argument. I can ignore Dave while I lust after Tony although I have the feeling that Dave may make it difficult. Still not wanting to be around him when he's drunk. Ew! I still haven't got over that night out. I was there last night happily dropping off to sleep thinking of ways to get to Johnny Knoxville in my dreams and the next thing I know Dave's disembodied head was floating around in front of me. EW!!!!
Officially becoming a huge fan of Hell is for Heroes. 'The Neon Handshake' is an album that just keep blowing my mind. Their site is amazing. You should go view. Site.
Still gonna marry a coffee baron. Hmph.

I added a little something to the right that may or may not stay. I only half like what it does to the layout to be honest but I still like the idea. Maybe I should make a page... nah. Anyway, later, when I have my fanart site up and running I may put in a link so that you can actually get at the full sized thing. The wallpaper is of Johnny Knoxville and if you read my previous post then you know who he is... He's all yummy so there! :P
Maybe one day I'll tell you why exactly I think he's so adorable...

Okay, so lack of posting is due to lack of news. Understandable eh? Actually I had something to post yesterday but by the time I got in I was so tired that I couldn't be bothered to update. Last night I finally got to see Jackass: the Movie. To sum up what I though: FUNNIEST FUCKING THING EVER!!!! Seriously, I was laughing so hard that I couldn't decide whether I wanted to burst a blood vessel, puke or pee myself first. In fact, several times I nearly did puke but you probably didn't need to know that... There was this one part when Johnny Knoxville had this alligator (sp?) clamped onto his nipple... jesus. It was so funny. Not to mention the car up the arse and the pandas and a hundred other things... I thought that seeing the movie would get my over my Johnny Knoxville obsession but it just hasn't. If anything I'm even more obsessed now. I can tell that everyone is going to regret letting me see that film. I haven't been able to stop giggling yet. I was sat in my double chem lecture this morning and I just burst out in a fit of giggles. I thought the lecturer was going to kill me...
Went up town today and did my food shopping. I picked up cards for my Dad's birthday, my sister's birthday, mother's day and this cute little one with loads of boxer puppies. Its just so adorable I'm going to keep it in my room. It reminds me of Holly when she was a baby. I also picked up the new LKH Merry Gentry book. I would start reading it right away but The Golden Fool is taking up all my time.
Anyway, going to go and eat. I'm hungry yet again. lol.

I managed to complete 'Being Willow' today and I have to say I'm rather pleased with it. There is something both very serious about this fic and something hard hitting about it that I'm proud of without it being overly angsty. The fact that its a pairing I've wanted to experiment with forever isn't exactly a bad thing either.
I saw the first ep of S2 Smallville tonight. Ugh. Not exactly overly inspiring if I must be completely honest but I think I'll be able to find something in it to use for a fic idea. Hey, I got my Lex fix and thats all that matters right?
Other than that nothing much has happened. Oh, the vomit got cleaned up. I was actually able to shower without gagging this morning...

My evil experiment didn't work. PCR is officially something I'm crap at and it didn't help that I kept calling it PCP... Made me laugh that only a couple of people got it of course.
Not much to say. I looking forwards to a thoroughly boring weekend with my work and maybe a little writing... Actually probably a lot of writing. I'm going to try and update Demons and Dimensions this weekend as well. I can't have people waiting too long. The fact that the first five parts alone have got 800+ hits at Twisting the Hellmouth both makes me feel great and points of the fact that people are appreciating the fic. Yay! I feel all warm and glow-y!
I still want to go out and see Jackass. *pout* Need to see film... I've managed to develop an unhealthy obsession with Johnny Knoxville. 'Nough said.
Ugh. Nothing more to say. Maybe more later or you know... tomorrow...

How to describe today... Hm, well, first of all it was good because I finally got this this up and running again. I've decided that seeing as I'm pretty terrible for filling blogs in I might as well have something pretty to look at while I'm doing it. Actually... maybe pretty isn't the right word.
Three hour chem prac today and I actually made it to my two lectures in the morning. If I make it to the two I have tomorrow morning... well then that will be a miracle. Found out in chem that I managed to get 60% (finally a decent mark!) on something but that it was cut to 40% because I handed it in a day late. Oh well, alls fair and all that. I managed to hand in the lab report I had to do for today on time though and it looked pretty good (please don't let me just have jinxed it) so hopefully I'll have a half decent mark next week as well. The fact that I did the work entirely on my own and got 60% (even if in the end I didn't) sort of makes up for the shittiness of the final mark.
Also, I had a progress interview for chem... I'm not saying a word. Well, okay, lets say I bluffed my way through the entire thing and managed to get out in one piece. Just.
On the upside found out I don't have to do a resit in maths. Instead I get to take the paper home and work through it all on my own, which, admittedly is something like a punishment but hey, its one less exam to worry about. Just have to get 50% on that to pass it. On Saturday I'm going to start revising right away for my retakes. I can't afford to fuck this up this time around.
The big news of today is a little different actually... I've been nominated for an award! Go HERE to find out about it. Take note of the voting dates and vote for me. The land of L/L-ship is not my normal world and I'm a little scared of being left high and dry... You know me, Chlexer at heart and then something like that goes and happens. Very strange.
Still, its nice to be appreciated for my writing. Even if the piece they picked (Haves and Have-nots) is a little strange for an L/L fansite. Huh. I'm not complaining.
