Sep. 22nd, 2015 10:47 pmSo I went on Polyvore and my account is still active. (Which; yay!) Not sure whether I'm actually going to use it. It's a good creative outlet though for when I'm feeling like I need something, so I'll keep it in mind.
I've been attempting to get back into story writing. I have a story all plotted out and I'm determined to write it. I'd forgotten how hard story writing is. Except I don't actually remember it ever being this hard. It really does feel like pulling teeth.
I've also been working on my TAFE course during my break. I'm going to need to start my uni assignment soon. Should probably get on that tomorrow.
This makes me sound like I'm a very productive human being.
That's nice.

I think I need to get back in the habit of using my lj. I kind of replaced writing in my diary with writing on lj and then I stopped using lj and now I just stay up scrolling through Tumblr till 2am which is just. not healthy.
Also I'm finding Tumblr feels very isolating. I'm there, surrounded by heaps of other people all having their own conversations, and it just makes me feel really lonely? I'm also thinking about maybe using my Polyvore account again (which I haven't actually been on for several years and I have no idea whether it's still active) becasue I actually made friends there? Which was nice? Tumblr's fun, and addictive (so addictive) but not actually very conductive for creating friendships.
One thing I've learnt about myself since leaving high school is that I'm not actually very good at making friends. What no one ever tells you about finishing school is the sudden cut down in social interaction. In school, you're surrounded by the same people every single day and you're forced to interact with them. Which sucks if you don't like them, but it's also guarenteed social interaction five days a week. And becuase you're around the same people five days a week for somewhere between six-twelve years, you get to know them. And then when you leave school, you just lose that.
It's not that I miss the people from school, because for the most part, I really don't. It's that I miss the regular social interaction with people that I know and am familiar with. It's really isn't the same in uni.
In uni, say in one of your classes there's one or two people you meet and get along with and talk to in class. That's great. The problem is, you have one or two classes with that person, which adds up to seeing them around three hours each week, and during this time you're focusing on the class and what the tutor/lecturer is saying, because you want to pass this class and you're actually interested in the content, and it's just not very conductive for getting to know someone. Unless you make an effort to see these people outside of class, they kind of just become that person you had that one class with, who occasionally you nod to when you pass them in the food court. Which is nice. But doesn't really help with the feeling isolated thing.

Late night ramblings.
Feb. 10th, 2013 12:08 amI've just spent a plethora of time on the Internet (btw, 'plethora' is my new favourite word. It sounds so nifty. Plethora. I want to name a child Plethora. No, that would be cruel.. But just listen to it, how awesome does it sound; ple-thor-ra. Plethora. It means an abundance (a word I'm also fond of. Makes me think of a bun dancing), A quantity in excess of what is actually practical. Anyway, back to what I was saying), mainly on Tumblr, and I've been coming across a lot of posts talking about Destiel becoming canon sometime in the near future (like maybe this season). I don't know how I feel about this. On the one hand, I've been wanting this to happen ever since I realised I shipped it for real over a year ago. On the other hand... I feel like its all happening too suddenly. And I'm really worried they're going to screw it up. And, i mean, the amount of fan fiction of them getting together there is out there, the writers are going to have to be really creative to make it original.
Plus on top of this, I don't even know whether I should believe these rumours, only to have my hopes crushed when it doesn't happen. So overall, I'm hesitant, although I'm pretty sure when it happens, if it happens, I'm going to be overjoyed about it and completely caught up in fangirling bliss.
Although, that said, I am really eager for Dean's bisexuality to be addressed. And hopefully, the state of Cas' virginity. Cos part of me really wants him to have done it with Balthazar,or Crowley. Or even Daphne. I don't know why, but I feel like he needs some sort of independence from Dean and losing his virginity elsewhere would help that.
Also, on an almost unrelated note, what is this I keep hearing about Cas' feathers being in the trunk of Dean's car? I haven't actually seen the episode yet (is it an episode or just a really popular fic? I'm pretty sure it's an episode.) Why are there feathers in Dean's car?! Where did they come from? Why are they there? What was Cas doing for them to end up in the boot??? And why haven't we heard about them before now?? Mainly, just, what is going on?!??? I need to know. It's literally keeping me up at night. I need to go to sleep. I need to see this episode. Why must I wait till Monday? Why must Aust tv be a few weeks behind American tv. Do they just enjoy torturing us that much?
I think I should turn off my iPad and go to sleep now. Good night all.

Dec. 27th, 2012 02:39 pmI've decided that I'm going to use my Lj to post links to things that I find cool and/or interesting, and which will most likely be fandom related. To start, there's this, http://girlalive.com/unlinked/spn_map7.png
which I found when reading the Supernatural page on TvTropes.
On a different note, I am saddend by the lack of Dexter fanfiction there is out there. I guess with all the fandoms I've followed in the past being BIG fandoms, I've just come to assume that there is a large abundance of fanfiction for everything. Which there isn't.
I've just finished painting wood slat things with stain and varnish for my dad and now I have it all over my hands and it won't come off.
Just washed it off with turps. Am going to go watch more Dexter now.
