NaNoWriMo - diddly squat
Charlemagne essay - 500 words
Good mood - still high!

I'm going to bed in a minute. However, I spilled tea on my jeans and have no replacement (laundry day tomorrow) so I am revelling in the novelty of updating my LJ whilst in my underwear. Alas, this is somewhat nasty underwear, but if you'd like to imagine a lacy red number, please feel free to go ahead. The red might clash with my Dalek t-shirt that I'm still wearing, though. Sorry. Maybe the Dalek could be in sexy underwear too?

Ugh. Weird thought train, all bought on by a sudden boost of self-confidence. And wearing naught but my pants. I am not in a good enough mood to dance in them, but you never know what the morning will bring.

Finally, I have listened to Teardrop by Massive Attack eight times today. This is possibly a bad thing, as I will now have slow and lazy dreams of an abstract nature contemplating the meaning of life. It's just that kind of song, but there we are.

Had a phone conversation with my mother today. Any conversation that begins with "You know, your grandfather wants to meet Simon" makes you appreciate the time you have left. And is also guaranteed to cause me heart failure. Dear god. It's a terrifying idea.

Also, I quoted Virgil in Latin today.

It's been that sort of day. But a better day. And tomorrow will be a better day, and so on and so forth. Yes. *nods*

My grandfather met adelpha in August, and didn't die. This is possibly because he'd more in denial than a tenny goth with naturally frizzy hair and a straightener...

My grandfather and Patrick were best friends within minutes. Amazing, but true!

Hah. I updated in my underwear, left the door open (because I am a rebel, oh yeah and lazy, too), wrote about it and now uni people know about LJ and may read that. The embarrassment.

I also have no clean jeans, and must wash tomorrow. Pants.

*g*

My grandparents met Adam, although only briefly, and both parties are still alive and apparently untraumatised. However, this was my dad's parents, who have lost their marbles in a good way. I dread tpo think what would happen if I introduced a guy to my mum's parents. Probably he would run and never come back.

Hey, I was a teeny goth with frizzy hair and a straightener!

...

Now I just accept my hair as curly and wear colour. *grins*

Size 12 and Not In The Slightest. The comfier, the better. All the pants in St Andrews are designed for prostitutes or OAPS. THERE IS NO INBETWEEN.

I think my Grandad will be okay. It just led to the terrifying prospect of my other set of grandparents (boh on my mums side, divorces, long story) and then it Fills Me With Fear.

My housemates have walked in on Things They Should Not. We have all learnt to knock if the door is not entirely open...

I can appreciate how you're scared of that thought.

My Nain is staying at mine at Christmas and will meet Adam. She is like my mother, but much much worse. Adam and my mother dislike each other.

It does not bode well.

Oh, forgot about this. Virgil in latin is impressive. What did you quote?

I can quote bits from the Odyssey in Ancient Greek and some of Aesop's fables Unfortunately due to the nature of the people in my class/the teacher. The only bit from the Odyssey I can remember is

'Tell this to Melanthius, the goat herder of goats'
