You've got the love!

• My pinky just went to sleep. Goddamnit.
  
  
• Oh hey, it's awake now! That was an interesting sensation; I wanted to capture it.
  
  
• Also, hey, hey, guess who's going to see Florence + the Machine when they come o'er here? That's right: ME! I listened to the album properly for the first time ever two days ago, and now I am so ridiculously stuck on her, her, herrr. Her amazing voice and amazing songs and (crush mode) red hair and jawline, gosh. ♥
  
  
• Plus The xx is opening for her. :D
  
  
• Also coming to Singapore is Au Revoir Simone, whom I know approximately nothing about. I have heard they are awesome though! Thoughts, anyone?
  
  
• I am riffing off kickingrad's resolution to catch more live shows (does theater count? Because they are putting up The Tempest sometime soon, and I should check that out), because! For the first time in my life I have the time and also money to watch more things in general, AND AND AND. Super excited!
  
  
• We had a new person coming in today at work! Dorky and nice and over-eager, I know the feeling, aw man. Reminds me of more than one person I know. Does that happen more often when you move along more? People starting to blur into types. I AM UNDECIDED ABOUT THIS.
  
  
• Things that made me smile: talking with themoononastick about when it is acceptable to use Brit spelling (obviously the answer is when you're writing AUs where a critical mass of the main characters are British), and her telling me about the AU where Z and Charlotte went to university in London. *_____________*
  
  
• I really like the dress I wore to work today, oh man. Dark blue sleeveless and edged with black cotton lace! It is a little bit too big for me (it was my sister's), but I love the skirt. Sometimes I think hey, when did clothes gain the ability to make me happy? with somewhat mild surprise because I never did bother when I was younger, but now they do. I feel my life has been greatly enriched as a result.
  
  
• They have put up Chinese New Year decorations at my estate! Usually I don't like them when they're too much, all that red and glitter and gaudiness and also irritating songs. (This sounds like my unnatural prejudice against Christmas I suspect.) But they've put up fairy lights! This I can get on, it looked slightly magical when I walked my way in.
  
  
• Today and yesterday I was struck by the urge to skip while walking home from the bus stop near my home. I DID NOT DISOBEY THAT URGE.
  
  
• That's how my life is, today. How is yours?

JEALOUS OF YOUR FLORENCE-SEEING. I LOVE HER.

I am also jealous of your awesome-sounding dress. I'm not someone who's really into clothes, and I have no sense of style (my friends consistently asked "Wait, did you dress yourself?" if I managed to throw something together that didn't suck) but I love it when I find something that I know looks good, but that I also feel 100% comfortable in. That is the struggle.

Fairy lights! I desperately want fairy lights in my room...I'll have to purchase some today. I had some in Australia, but the electricity is different here, so...no more fairy lights, at the moment.

Skipping is never a bad thing.

My life today...well, it's still morning, but - there is a light dusting of snow over everything, it is only -7 degrees outside, and the sun is out. I have a packed day - applying to universities, writing a resume, doing reserach on where to go/what to do in New York (8 days!!!), looking for places to possibly submit my resume to, and buying a birthday gift for my mother. So. I am actually looking forward to today!

Oh, and Brit spelling is not something I worry about, but I know nothing about Britain generally...and I am writing 20,000(+) words set there, so...

I AM JEALOUS OF MYSELF ALSO. &florence;

Yeah, that! I wear nice clothes and make them look awkward a lot of the time, but today I liked the way I look. \o/!

That sound like a good day, dude. New York! I am JEALOUS. And also good luck with the resume submitting!

You should also tell me more about this thing you are writing which is set in Britain. *chinhands*

I am jealous of myself, going to New York! So I think we're even. And thank you - I am so terrified of actually submitting resumes, I can't even tell you.

I may be writing for the Holmes Big Bang? tailoredshirt sort of roped me into it, because the prompt was just too good: http://community.livejournal.com/holmes_big_bang/1627.html?thread=159579 (excuse my serious html fail, by the way)

Just drop them off, dude, it's going to be great! I am sure people will be ravening to employ you. :D

Also, that prompt sounds great. Holmes being all, "Blind dates are LAME but let me just be at my most charming ANYWAY" :DDD

Yes, it's my winning people skills that really win people over.

I know, right? Also, we may be throwing in a little bit of crazy jewel-heist stuff. You know, to shake things up a bit.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

You are innately charming, never doubt that. And also you're, you know, competent. Have faith, bb!

Jewel heist :DDDD

[nova33.livejournal.com]

I am charming on here! In RL I am very...awkward.

Jewel heist! Irene Adler, jewel thief!
