GIP!

Looky looky! Isn't it pretty?

Huge thanks to autumnchestnut and Gigi for the *beautiful* iconnage. *hugs*

I'll be going back to Cardiff tomorrow.

My mother has had a huge strop at me- apparently I'm not welcome in the house again until I have a job. Thing is, I *do* have a job, every time I'm back in this country I can get casual work straight away. And I had a job in Cardiff, too- the reason I gave up was that they hadn't paid me for three months. I think that's a reasonable enough reason.

My first reaction was to just pack up and move out while she is at work today, but I realise that's immature and I'd regret it. Still terribly tempting, though.

I know intellectually that she has reason to be stressed, and reason to yell at me. It's difficult to cope with in the state of mind I have at the moment, though.

Damn.

GIP again

THanks so much, Alysun! I now have photoshop at home, and it's beautiful. :D

Ya know, Andromeda is really quite abysmal. The music is absolutely terrible, and the acting is... questionable in places, and the storylines don't seem to be realised as well as they possibly could be.

On the other hand... Harper's really cute. *g*

Just lost a huge entry. DAMMIT!

Okay- try again.

Basically, I was attempting to justify my complete failure at my New Years Resolution so far. =) I haven't written anything in a couple of days, but I have posted a drabble to hpsquick100, a tiny ficlet to 12am_nosh, two fics to inkstained fingers, and plotted a SS/SB story I hope to write sometime in the near future.

It's very odd, because I've been turning this fic around in my head for a *long* time- 6 months at least, but no matter how I tried it it never seemed to work. Now I've changed the pairing from SS/RL to SS/SB and suddenly it makes sense. The story works so much better with that pairing, and I have no idea why it took me so long to see that!

I haven't actually started writing it yet, as I'm not entirely secure about my Sirius voice. I've only written Snape and Lupin in fics so far (unless you count a really lame-ass parody fic at the SSFQF ;)) and no one else. I've written pretty much everyone in drabbles, as I am a drabble-whore... feel free to check out my memories and if I haven't drabbled a favourite character of yours then request one. ;)

I guess I should work on my various character voices- I really need practice. Anyone have any suggestions on how I should do that?

On the home front, there is a fragile peace reigning, since I'm packed and leaving tomorrow morning. Neither of us wants to part on a row. I can deal with that. What she said still hurts, but there will be no apologies, so I'll take what I can.

*ahem*

Blaise is a boy, dammit!

And I still haven't written anything today.

ETA: My dad just brought me a fig roll for no apparent reason. I think he carried it home from work in his pocket.

I love my dad. =)
