From the day we arrived on the planet...

Woah, long time no update! Or it seems that way at least.
Well, Christmas was nice - it was lovely to spend some time with the family and all that. Got some nice presents, had a lovely dinner with absolutely nobody being rushed to hospital, went to Dad's, opened more presents, watched Christmas telly, including Doctor Who Christmas Special OH MY GOD!!! They're repeating it on Sunday, so I shall be watching it again. Plus, BBC Three is showing the last series again, two every evening this week, so I'm catching up on some of the ones I missed because of having no TV at uni last year. Ooh, and one of the ones I saw today had Anna Maxwell-Martin from Bleak House in it!
Anyhoo, Boxing Day was the usual family gathering on the farm type thingy, blah. And ever since I've been poorly-sick and pathetic. I did manage to go out and buy a new cardigan and Ladies in Lavender on DVD, but for the most part I've been sitting around watching TV, reading, and putting off revising for my looming exams. Couldn't sleep last night because every time I lay down I couldn't breathe, so I'm a bit sluggish today. Dad went to Co-op and got me about five different decongestant thingies to try, so fingers crossed I'll manage to sleep tonight.
bunnyvon, what time do you want us on New Year's Eve? What are the arrangements? Good God, woman, WHAT'S HAPPENING???
New Year presents for the Archers still haven't arrived... I'm sure you'll get them before I go back to uni, girls, but it may not actually be in time for New Year...

(no subject)

For those who were reading it, looky, chapter two is up!!

The Big Match

Rantage

Why did I do it? Why do I torture myself so?
Yes, I was bored, and I went onto The Pit to search McG stories.
Bad, bad idea.
Would it kill them to write my poor Minerva in character once in a while? 'cold arrogance'? Joining Snape in laughing at Neville?
Not to mention dreadful things that introduce her entire extended family of potential Sues, and totally tread on my toes, since my McGonagall life story is obviously the best. :P
Fics that change tense twice or sometimes three times in a single sentence hurt my brain so bad! And the same fic, calling her an 'elderly lady', at a time when, according to canon, she was only in her mid fifties. That's just mean!
And Frankie Goes To Hollywood songfic?? *has seizure*

Yes, I know it was stupid of me to even try.
But it makes me SO MAD!
