Ok, ok, I suck at the internet... and communication in general, lately, sorry guys. And I know I keep saying this in each of my sporadic postings, but I'm really going to try harder now to keep up with LJ. I haven't been at all, though, for months, so if you've said stuff I should know, link me!



* [livejournal.com profile] carawj is still my girlfriend, still super awesome. This makes me indescribably happy. We now have a little flat together in Alexandra Palace, and we have board games and a plant and a joint account and everything. :D
* My mother still refuses to speak to me. It's been getting on for eight months now since we exchanged civil words. I'm pretty much gutted about it and I think about it a lot, and however much I think about it, and however much it sucks, I can't think that I would have done anything differently if I'd known it would turn out this way. Not sure what her health is doing, she was on chemo again for a while but I think she's done soon.
* Living in London is still the most fun EVER, especially since now I occasionally have money to actually do things. Plus many awesome people live here and sometimes come to our flat and we feed them cake.
* Jolly excited about going to see Nation soon, and Jim Moray in December. Hoping to get a gang together to go see Camille O'Sullivan, and also have vague plans to see La Cage Aux Folles at some point.
* Finished Unseen Academicals, very much liked it. Nobody writes realer characters than Terry Pratchett. Almost made me actually interested in football for a minute, there.
* Went to Kitezh again for a couple of weeks over the summer, it was brilliant as usual. Kids are over here for a two-week exchange with some Scottish kids, and I got to show them around London because they had a long layover before their flight to Aberdeen! So that was awesome.
* I use the word awesome too much.
* Finally got on the right tax code, had lots of lovely money back just at the crucial moment, so I am spending this month comfortable instead of destitute. Also from here on in I will be £100 a month better off. It was a very wrong tax code.
* My lunch break is ending, so that's all you're getting for now!

Nation review WILL happen, I promise! Excited about that now!!! :D

Haha, is it up yet? Sounds fascinating...

I would love to! This morning on the tube [livejournal.com profile] carawj and I had a whole big conversation about running away to Oz. Then we decided we would rather come on a book tour. But travelling is definitely on the cards generally, so I'm sure you haven't seen the last of me!

Yay for reviewness!

Yes, it's up at the site as of last night. Part 4 is the entire monthly horoscope, which Fernando wrote about 'which is your best football position according to the stars, and which famous footballer are you most like'; Fernando did the work, but his editor came up with the names at his request. They include:



:D

[livejournal.com profile] mogg rang me earlier, saying she spent far too long on the internets last night trying to google for which famous soccer stars of history have names that might match the above, muhahaha. I made it harder by making up about half the names out of whole cloth, but she still didn't get the Beckham reference :P :P :P

You can run away whilst doing</iL a book tour, you know. Hee.
