and isn't it me? putting pain in a stranger.

I am back in the UK! Back in my regular room, and one hundred percent unpacked for once. This is a Rare Feeling. I even have all my postcards and photos up on my notice board, and have gone grocery shopping. I have - get this - decanted my (uncooked) pasta and rice into separate tupperware containers. This is an indication of how organised I intend to be this coming term. Also of the fact that I have Visitors coming tomorrow - well, just one, [livejournal.com profile] forochel, who wants to visit Tolkien's grave here in Oxford, the geek. We will be frolicking around for three days, and then I am going to follow her back to London to meet [livejournal.com profile] laiqualaurelote and also see [livejournal.com profile] kickingrad's art show! Then another friend is coming down to visit me again, and we will do the whole frolicking thing all over again. Think picnics.

Not unrelatedly, I had cause to link to Bowie's Sweet Thing on youtube just a couple of minutes ago, which means that I had to listen to it, which of course means that I had to listen to the whole album. Man, that is a good album. I had nearly forgotten.

It's nice to be back in the UK after three weeks' holiday, even if I had a moment this evening when I didn't quite know what to do with only myself for company. I suspect I used to read fic.

Also, in conversation with [livejournal.com profile] forochel:

[4/13/11 PM 09:01:41] [livejournal.com profile] extemporally: although right
[4/13/11 PM 09:01:45] [livejournal.com profile] extemporally: you know what i would so read
[4/13/11 PM 09:01:52] [livejournal.com profile] extemporally: I WOULD SO READ AN ANDREW-NARRATED FIC
[4/13/11 PM 09:01:59] [livejournal.com profile] extemporally: where he is all precious and earnest about things
[4/13/11 PM 09:02:24] [livejournal.com profile] extemporally: because like i definitely identify with jesse eisenberg and the 'lol not a real person' feelings, in terms of social maladjustment
[4/13/11 PM 09:02:36] [livejournal.com profile] extemporally: BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I OVERWHELMINGLY OVERIDENTIFY WITH. FEELINGS ;_____;

... I realise on rereading this that that doesn't quite make sense. I MEAN, overwhelming, unabashed, sentiment! As narrated by Andrew Garfield! Does such a fic exist. :|

Mostly, though, this evening is all about slow conversations and slow washing up, and also chilling in my room feeling good about life.
