Aw! I am very not much of one for anniversaries, if anything because I can never remember the dates themselves - that is, I can remember the numbers fine, but either way before or long after they're, like, on - but this is one is kind of special. Exactly one year ago (to the hour) I was reading The Value of X for the first time!

...now, it's not like I wrote it down or anything. I remembered it was one of the first "pub nights" (every year, a group of young people from my village, me included, pull together a pub (a bar in the open, more like) in occasion of the village festival. Which usually means a lot of fun. And near to no sleep. But really fun. And kind of cold at times. But fun!) - but I wasn't sure which one. Until, once I finally got all my lj backed up with LjArchive, I started reading old entries at random and I saw the date mentioned.

(But oh, the real obsession would come later on, with the other three Liquor books - and that'd be around the 10th or 11th of October. I do remember that date. Though for slightly less light reasons.)

Mmmh. I feel like I should have drawn something for the occasion. Too bad I haven't had a single free second to do that, between the pub, the girl I'm tutoring and a thousand little other things that just keep adding up. Technically, I'd also meant to try and lose a few pounds, since it tends to be easier when I'm busy... but being busy 20 hours a day without helping myself to any kind of sweet? What was I in my previous life? Hitler?

Oh man, I really am tired. (Figure that, look at the time.) (My time.) I'd better go right to bed sleep, as I am in bed already. But some music first: The Go! Team - Junior Kickstart. Been listening to this one a lot, recently. That and Cloud Cult have had a laaarge hand in keeping me on track. :D

I think this may be one of the most moving songs I've heard. Probably it's because it's easy enough to sense the lyrics' meaning, or because I know the story behind it, but... oh, it's simply wonderful. I suggest listening to it with headphones and high volume. :)

Well then, today I saw a depressing basketball match at 6 a.m., cleaned the house, in the afternoon went to help at the pub* painting the sides of the drinks stall/bar, then went to tutor the girl**, and all of this on two hours of sleep (8:30am-10:16am, not even in the night) and a single coffee. I'm proud of myself. ;D But I think I may have to go and collapse on the bed anytime soon.


*Some of you may remember that last year, in September, we made a little pub inside our village festival. It went so well that not only we are doing it again, but we're making it much prettier. Although there have also been several fights with the leadership... but it's a long story, and it shall have to be told another time.


**Er, yes, I'm actually tutoring a girl. Have been for something more than a month, in fact. Duh, I don't talk much about my real life, do I? I'm tutoring her in Maths, obviously enough. I'd never thought explaining a sum between numbers in N could actually be hard. :P Now we're going over expressions and linear (numerical, of course) equations, and... You know, I'd forgot how much I liked doing that shit. It was fun.
Tiredness is really trying to catch up with me, and doing a rather spectacular job of it. I'm dead tired. If usually my 3 (three) neurons vary between this and this, now they're not doing anything of the sort. (Did scansion.) (Since I'm rather sure you can't read it, it says: "Wanna play?" "... Naaah.")

I rather suspect I'm going to do more lurking than anything else, today... sorry 'bout that.


Anyone on Y!M?


Anyone with a spare brain?



Yesterday we had the "ending dinner" with all the people who worked at the festival. It was a lot of fun, but now things are really over. :D Well, maybe I had so fun also because between the hors d'oeuvre and the first dish there a lot of time went by. When you're drunk well, me tipsy everything looks funnier.




Also, ETA: 'Just how much out of your mind are you?' test. )


ETA one more thing: is it possible to take photos with a webcam? It should be, right? But how? *blinks*
I just remembered something from yesterday evening.

...I'm the only person in the world older than 10 years old who snickers while writing "cocktail", ain't I?

Oh my, I'm hopeless.
