*is in America*

*but still has a little bitty flight on a little bitty plane (

) left before I'm really home. The transatlantic flight was good though - I slept most of the time and it was entirely uneventful.

~~~~~~~~~

There should be enough dry land...Louisville is a decent sized city.

So far my flight is on time. I hope it stays that way. I can't bear the idea of spending much more time in the airport. I'm so exhausted I'm not sure how I'm keeping myself going, to be honest.

~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, it looks like we're supposed to be getting that crazy weather soon, but not until I'm safely at home, I hope. I think it's supposed to hit the Louisville area tomorrow night.

Well, boarding is supposed to start in fifteen minutes or so, so I'd better put the computer away (battery is getting low anyway). So I'll talk to you all when I get home tonight!

Aiya!

This is Aika and Rinkë, having a great time in Derry.

Spent Tuesday in Derry, Wednesday in Belfast, Thursday, Friday and part of today in Clonmany, and then on Monday and Tuesday we're doing some stuff too.

No, I'm not drunk but this post really sounds like it.

And no, we did not actually LARP with Aika's 12 year old cousin last night.

It's a lie.

~~~~~~~~~~

Because it would be a special type of psycho to do something like that.

We should be around most of the evening, feel free to drop us a line.

All my exams are over!

*jumps for joy*

And I've got my room all neat and I'm just waiting for my laundry to be done, and then I'll be ready for Aika's visit!

~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for the song, GreyWolf, and thanks everyone else, too.

Now I just have to write my thesis, and I have my master's...

Listen to me...just write my thesis.

I have my last exam today at 9:30. Then I will have no more exams.

Hopefully ever.

God, what a blessing that will be.

~~~~~~~~~

After this exam, I'm done for the year so I should have some time to catch up on RP's. We'll see.

So, one more exam tomorrow morning, then Aika comes to visit me. Her plane arrives early Tuesday morning, so I get to spend tomorrow cleaning and doing laundry and starting the nightmare that is packing to fly back to the States.

I can't believe I'm going home so soon.

Is it possible to be sad and excited at the same time?

*loves her user title*

My first exam is done.

Meh.

Not sure how it went - the questions weren't what I was expecting, but I think I pulled it off.

~~~~~~~~~

*whines*

My sunburn HURTS.

Argh, I don't want to study anymore!

Yay on the passport, though, Aika!

*back to reading*

~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, I think I'm more easily distracted during this period than just about any other.

But I'll make it through, and then Aika comes to visit!

Yay!

Hamsters are adorable.

~~~~~~~~~~

*gently pulls Vlad away and pets him some more, quite used to this, as she had a vicious cactus rat for a pet as a little girl*

~~~~~~~~~

Er, it's not really a good idea for me to wear green or orange in Northern Ireland.

Can I just wear blue or pink or something?

~~~~~~~~~~

*waves at Aika*

*smirks that here, it's cool and rainy*

*will wear Black* I think that's more or less neutral here.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, but you see, to us above, oh, 52 degrees north, 74 is sweltering. I was dripping sweat on Thursday because it was 74.

~~~~~~~~~~~

*steals rain back and hoardes it*

Ireland doesn't have enough, after all.

~~~~~~~~~~

Nah, 300 days of rain a year is plenty for me, thanks.

~~~~~~~~~

We're not low, thanks.

I was in Seattle in '98. Couldn't believe the rain. Loved Seattle, though. Had a blast. Was there on a tour with my choir. Fantastic place.

*drinks tea*

I have to head into town later today. No point yet, though. Nothing will be open until at least noon on a Sunday.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Northern Ireland dies on Sundays.

When I was in Belfast, I couldn't even find anywhere to eat before about 5pm.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, a lot of it has to do with Ian Paisley and the DUP...they pushed hard a bit back to get everything closed on Sunday. Didn't work, but did quite a good job.

Thankfully, I live in a Nationalist area, so more stuff is open.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Argh, the stores don't open until 1pm!

*waits another hour*

Sorry, I'm excited. I haven't eaten out in more than a month.

Yes, I am a she.

It's okay, though, it's what I get for liking male characters better than the female ones.

EDIT: Oh, and Varna, I just saw your post. I downloaded it from http://www.pidgin.im

~~~~~~~~~~

It's all good.

I'm actually rather flattered that you figured I was a guy when you read Abasi's posts.

I must be doing something right!

Why in Eru's name am I still awake?

Oh, and BTW, I just downloaded pidgin. It's cool.

~~~~~~~~~~

It's an IM program that combines all your IM accounts into one nifty program where you don't have to have a bazillion things open at once. Very, very nice.

~~~~~~~~~

*has cookie*

I like cookies.

I think I'm going to go read for a few hours, though.

See ya later!

~~~~~~~~~~

Ooh! I have a reply to make in Not for Arda.

*will go do that, then return to reading her trashy, but entertaining, historical romance novel*

To Angband with this essay!

Of course, it may be the last stupid little essay I shall ever have to write in my life. Should I be sad about that? Well, I'm not.

711/2500 words. Getting there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love it, Willow, and sis is right - I am thinking that academia is a bit like Mordor right now. But this is the LAST ESSAY I SHALL EVER HAVE TO WRITE (well, of little essays anyway. I still have a master's thesis and a doctoral dissertation in front of me...)

1277/2500. More than half!

~~~~~~~~~~~

1908/2500.

Just a few more and I can write my conclusion and be done!

~~~~~~~~~~

DONE! And e-mailed to my professor.

2024 words...

~~~~~~~~~~~

All done. Finally.

Not bad, but maybe not my greatest essay ever.

It should be fine, though.

Argh, paper due tomorrow, and like usual, I've procrastinated until the last minute. Well, maybe if my professors would stop rewarding me with really good grades for doing it this way, I'd actually take my time and start writing weeks in advance. But as this seems to work...

~~~~~~~~

Well, I'm off to the library. Wish me luck!

~~~~~~~~~

I. Do. Not. Want. To. Write. This. Paper.

It's too shiny and pretty outside to be thinking of Orangeism in Diaspora and its effects on the Home Rule Movement of 1885-1915. *dies*

~~~~~~~~~~

Nope, no all-nighter yet, anyway, although it may happen.

I'm in Northern Ireland - on GMT, and it's 5:45ish in the afternoon here, I've been working on it since about 7:00am this morning, and I've still got a couple of articles to read before I can really get started.

So it'll probably be close to an all-nighter, but I can always hope.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Yep, I've been here on and off all day, although there hasn't been much posting.

Although I will keep the RP posting up. I'm having a lot of fun in Not For Arda, and it's about to get quite interesting...

Must go back to reading! I'll be back in five pages...(yes, that's the way I get through.

)

~~~~~~~~~~

Argh. This paper is not moving.

I think I really am going to be up all night.

Ah well, I'll be checking in here every once in a while (looking hopefully for RP posts to ease my mind and have a little bit of fun with

).

~~~~~~~~~~~

It's only 1. Don't be stealing my hours.

~~~~~~~~~~~

551/2500 words...I give myself a mini-break every 500, so see you all again around 1000 words...

*goes back to writing*

~~~~~~~~~~

1034/2500 words.

I'm going to die of exhaustion, I think.

~~~~~~~~~

1553/2500!

I know it's my fault, but I just can't seem to get motivated before the last possible minute. And it is now most certainly the last possible minute. It's 4:00am and this is due at noon. Today. I'm more than halfway done, and I just have to write one more section and then my conclusion (and I left the easiest section for last), so I'll make it, but god I'm tired.

At least tomorrow's Friday and I don't have any classes.

~~~~~~~~~

Maybe the cheering will keep me awake.

I am both nearly 45,000 (as of the end of the Third Age, based on the idea that a Valian year is 144 sun years), or 29, turning 30 in July. Your choice.

Are you saying that Tolkien is more important than us!? How could you! *hits Rinkë with a glove on her right cheek*

Answer: Yes.

*reaction* Well, there are two possible reactions to that.

29 Year Old Human Rinkë: *cries hysterically*

Ñoldor Rinkë: *pulls sword and plunges it through your stomach, laughing as you die, teaching you that's what happens when you insult a Son of Fëanor in such a manner!*

Quote:

Slapping someone with a glove on his/her right cheek is challenging them. The challenged person gets to choose either the place and date or the weapons. You do NOT just stab through them! Have you no honor? ARGH!

Of course I knew that. Just thought I'd skip a few steps and make it easier for everyone.

My parents just had an EARTHQUAKE!!!! In INDIANA!!!! And it was a big one!

Everything's okay and no damage at home, though.
