All of this has happened before

My exams are over! The one I've just had was really easy, as it's intended for second year French students learning English. Pretty sure I passed it. A big part of the essay was writing a diary of the events in the Man Who Would Be King. (I was so tempted to write in a million Very Secret Diaries references.) Gotta love fanfiction getting you marks.

So now I have a whole weekend to chill, watch a load of Dollhouse extras, and knit. Or something, I don't know what, I'm kinda between projects at the moment. I have a plan for a blanket for my mother but I have to learn how to make granny squares first. And then I'd have to hide them somewhere all summer until I got my own place. I'm considering just making hats for my brothers, since that's easier.

I'm so glad to be through all the exams, you don't even know. And it's only five weeks until half term! Good times.

Not posted about France in a while, so have a picspam!

( Squid under the cut )

I'm going to my nannan's tomorrow for the week. :) I've not stayed at hers in about a year, and I missed it. She doesn't have the internet, but Em's taking care of the archiving, so don't worry, it's all sorted!

And I might get to see my youngest cousin, Token Boy Child. He's a cutie. :D He threw up on me the last time I saw him.

So, I am moving out of my flat, and living with my dad for the summer. *fanfare* This did not go that well last time. Now, I have a social life (even if most of it is online) and my own stuff to do, so it's going to be interesting to see how Dad copes with that. I think in his heart I'm still ten and coming over on Sundays to go on an excursion.

Still, at least while I'm here I can take advantage of his massive scifi collection. :D

JITSU!! It was my first in at least a month, and I got to learn some new throws, and I'm finally figuring out Koshi Guruma properly, and we did underarm body grabs and I got to knee people in the crotch, which was fun. :D I got kneed a lot too, but I was with these two people I get on with and we just were in fits of giggles the whole time. And one of them kicked me like five times in the exact same spot, so now I have a bruise. *beams*

And we learnt about kidneys some more, and exactly why it is so useful to punch people in them if they grab you. :P Problem is, I'm so short I often can't reach round to get a good strike, so I compromise by kneeing or headbutting instead. Sensei didn't seem to mind. :) He made me do it to J repeatedly as a demonstration, so at least I know I'm doing something right.

I'm so grading this term.

*sprawls on bed* I think my addiction to the Internet is showing somewhat in that as soon as I got in I plugged the computer in. On the other hand, NO MAM LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER WHEN I'M TRYING TO READ PR0N!!!! And my essay is done, so now I can spend tonight bingeing on TGWTG and Avatar. It's gonna be awesome.

Also, never look up bizarre sexual practices on Urban Dictionary to traumatise your mother and cousin. It's hilarious but makes them suspicious when you're the only one not cringing.

(And yes, I did quote Jar Jar Binks, I know I need help.)

Yeah, I'm going home today or tomorrow, and my laptop had issues with the internet last time, so this is just a quick heads up to let you know that I may be offline for a week or so. Hopefully the internet will have fixed itself, or I can reload the thingy *fails at tech*, but if not, have fun without me and I'll see you guys soon!

Because I've just had two theological students from there try to convert me. O_o

Tangentially related (I was doing my Japanese homework at the time) but this is why I love learning languages. I can say stuff like this:

私のホバクラフとは　うなぎで　いっぱいです。

It means my hovercraft is full of eels. XD XD XD

THERE'S GONNA BE A SEQUEL TO HOTEL DUSK AND POKEMON SOUL SILVER IS OUT ON 26 MARCH.
