All of this has happened before

My sensei didn't show up today, because his wife is having a baby.

( In which I show yet more evidence of being a masochist )

day 03 → your favourite television program
This would be Doctor Who, because it is magical and lovely and heartbreaking when done right, and cheesy and silly and hilarious when done wrong. Also, I have met three of my best friends because of Doctor Who. Swear to it.

I fucking love my job.

( Spoilers for Avatar under the cut )

LOOKIT WHAT I MADE.

His name is Gilbert, and he is cuddly. Sewing Soc is fun! I've been meaning to get back into crafty stuff for a while, so this is awesome. I need more knitting needles! I also kinda want to make an Adipose from Doctor Who for my brother for Christmas, as well as a little Doctor, which would be awesome, but is probably impractical. Still, Gilbert only took me about two hours, so I should be able to manage it fairly easily.

ISN'T HE CUTE?

I SAW ROCKY HORROR IN LONDON!!! It was amazing, and the actors were really good, and I dressed up and David Bedella was Frank! Steve Pemberton was the narrator, which made for good audience participation. ("This is a local castle for local people!") There was dancing and men in corsets and it all generally felt like a party. I'm so going to see it again. :D

So we didn't get the flat we thought we would, but this one is much nicer and new. I moved in with wonderm, who is working at the minute. *cheers*

I still don't have a job, but I sorted out my finances, and had dinner with my grandad. I think he realised what he's been missing and wants to set things right before it's too late, which is fine with me. It'll be nice to get to know him after all this time. :) I just wish he'd done it sooner, it's a bit awkward as it stands.

In fandom-related news, I'm trying to write the next chapter of Warning: May Contain Side Affects, but the bunnies have deserted me for now. If anything happens it'll be posted on the kink meme. I'm really sorry, trying to find somewhere to live was killing me. Maybe the bunnies will return now. XD

So, being 19 doesn't feel any different than being 18. I've gotten lots of cards on the post but no presents. I think not anyway, I'll have to check the board when I get dressed. :)

I've never been a major fan of birthdays, they're not as important as the big holidays like Christmas or Halloween. (Yes I think Halloween is important. You get sweets, people. FOR FREE. And you get to dress up like a monster and scare little kids.) I'm not doing much today, just going to Jitsu like usual and having a sleepover with wonderm.

I've done a lot this year, I've moved out, started university, got my yellow belt, figured out my sexuality (mostly) made new friends and been to my first con. XD This has been a good year for me, even if it's been punctuated by bastards leaving my mother and occasional panic attacks. I like life at the moment, even though I'm not where I thought I'd be a year ago. No job, no house and going home for the summer. Still, it could be worse. I could not have come to uni at all, and never done all this. I think it's worth it.

Tl:dr: Sleep deprivation makes Keeva philosophical.

Ha, this is cool. Now I have a backup in case LJ goes down and/or fandom undergoes mass migration. Hopefully I'll be getting a journalfen account soon too.

In other news, only one exam left! Unfortunately it's Intro to Linguistics, and I'm shitting myself because there aren't any practice papers and it's 50% of my grade.

So, I came out as an asexual today, to my mam. Because she is awesome, she took it wonderfully, and has been lovely to me, and left me on the verge of tears in relief.

I love my mother all the time, but it's times like these that make me realise how lucky I am to have the BEST DAMN MOTHER in the whole wide world.

PS: Tried telling my dad, but he didn't believe me. Arse.

Salut! J'ai un examen de francais dans une semaine, par consequent, je revise par ecrivant des choses en francais. Cependant, je ne sais pas ecrire des accents. Est-ce que des autres sur mon flist qui parle le langue? Est-ce qu'il y a un moyen d'ecrire les accents sur LiveJournal?

On espere que cela est bien, je n'ai pas la confiance en mon francais. Ah bien, dans une semaine ce passera.

Dans les autres nouvelles, je regarde Battlestar Galactica au moment. C'est tres interessant, J'aime les mentions de la religion dans les Cylons. Baltar est amusant aussi: il est un lache, mais il est aussi plein d'esprit quelquefois.

So, I went to Twycross Zoo today with Mumsy, Stepdad, and the Things. I didn't post about this, but Mam and Edgar have broken up. He left a week before Christmas to shack up with a tart from karate. He left his kids, before Christmas, to go play happy families with another woman and her kids. As you may be able to tell, I wasn't too happy about this. However, we all put aside our differences to give the kids a good day out.

Then, on the way home, Edgar told Mam he wants us all to move to Portugal together, but not get back with Mam. Essentially, he wants a family, without the responsabilities that come with it. He wants a fucking beard, for Christ's sake.

I despair of humanity sometimes, I really do. Between him and Dad, it's no wonder I have no faith in relationships with men.
