Procrastination Is Me

featherxquillWow. Once again I have failed to update my journal for over a month. And I'm doing so now that I have a print media piece due tomorrow. I'm attempting to write a travel piece about being in Belfast over Easter last year. It's happening, if slowly. Mostly, it's making me pine terribly for being overseas again. I realised the other night that I could actually look up Norwich on googlemaps and view the place on the satellite. I could actually trace the path I walked from uni to village on a daily basis, and see the building that contained my flat.
I have a few weeks left of my degree. Then I start looking for a real job. I really, really want to be back there. In England. Free and having fun and living my life like I did for those 6 months. At this point, though, I haven't got enough money. I guess I'll have to work here for a year or so before I can start looking for wok over there. Get some experience in the industry I want to work in, anyway, rather than being a supermarket checkout chick. I decided against the honours year, because it just looked like far too much effort, and too much of an excuse to avoid change.
In online life, I've joined![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
road_ahead RPG. This time, I'm trying my hand at muggleborn!Ravenclaw Rita, because the concept of playing her muggleborn is fascinating after DH in a way it never was before. I haven't been hugely active yet, because blargh uni, but I'm having fun so far, and I'm loving reading everyone else's stuff. It's been so intense and so sad these past few weeks, because of all the funerals (the Weasleys in this game are absolutely amazing). It's been overwhelming just reading.
wizardwatch has only one week left. Rita has made it right through to the end. I've taken over modding there, too, which is easy enough but time consuming omg.
Rita and Neville have been at it again. In this one, Rita is bored and horny, and Neville has been ill and takes a nap in her bed, and she comes in and just... convinces him to sleep with her. It was very fun and interesting to play, like that - knowing what we wanted but just putting the two of them in the room together and seeing where they took us. Go read, if you are so inclined, and tell me/us what you think. The game has precious few watchers these days and I am a complete whore for reviews ;).
I'm in love with Ill Will Press Little iLLs, and I'm currently bidding on one of the glow in the dark ones. So cool. It's getting really expensive, and the auction ends at 10am tomorrow, so I don't know if I'll get it, but I'm hoping. There's another one I love as well, though, so I won't be heartbroken if I don't win this one.
All of you should go and watch Albus Dumbledore: The Only Gay At Hogwarts - with music from Little Britain. It's absolute brilliance.
Also, since I haven't posted about it: YEY for teh gay. And absolute fail to those fans that I saw going 'suck why couldn't she have made one of the hotter characters gay'. Because yeah. Um. I think it's far more awesome that a generation of kids have realised that one of the most respected characters in their favourite book series preferred men than the fact that you can now write slashy Albus porn with Jo's blessing.
That is all. I'll go back to my travel piece now.
