Wow, I haven't posted in a ridiculously long time. I wish I could say that that's because I've been busy having ~thrilling exploits~ but mostly I've just been doing fuck-all enjoying my last few weeks as a student (sob!). And also doing things like spending entire evenings revisiting ridiculous 90s pop music via Spotify and YouTube. Speaking of which, OMG, THE BODYSHAKIN' DANCE. LOL FOREVER.

Also, writing. My [livejournal.com profile] thelittlebang fic is nearly done; all I need to do is take a look at my betas' comments and try to stop myself from printing it all out and going through it with a red pen again. (I've already done that, like, twice.) I'm posting a preview on Tuesday and then I guess the whole thing goes up in ten days? I reeeally want to know who my artist is. And, um, I hope I haven't fucked things over for them by ~reworking my fic a bit since the first draft. It's nothing too major, I've just cut a scene or two and shifted a section around, so I'm hoping it won't be a problem. :/ I guess we'll see!

... there was something else I was going to say, but I've forgotten. It was fascinating, I'm sure.

I just spent SIXTY POUNDS on train tickets home for next weekend. SIXTY POUNDS. And it's entirely my fault for booking so late that all the cheaper tickets had gone. Fail, self. See, this is why I never usually go home to visit my parents during term-time, but I have to go next weekend because it's my mum's degree show (she's in her final year of a part-time Fine Art degree) and I really want to see it. (Incidentally, my brother is also graduating this year - he's been doing a four-year course - plus I am, obviously. We're all going to be so fucking sick of graduation ceremonies by the end of the summer.)

In completely unrelated news, I got my special shiny Bandstock-holder-only copy of The Bachelor yesterday. Even though I still think the cover is unbelievably fug, all the packaging makes me kind of unreasonably gleeful, and it's signed! (#16! So I can only assume they've done in alphabetically by surname, because no way was I the sixteenth person to buy it.) It took me ages to find my name in the list of Bandstock investors - although I spotted [livejournal.com profile] michaelbush almost straight away - but I'm about two-thirds of the way down the second page. And apparently the album might actually chart? Awesome.

YAY, Patrick's new album leaked for real this time! I'm only on my second listen, and my first listen was under non-ideal conditions (i.e. on headphones, walking into town, so there was a ton of annoying background noise) but my initial opinion is: AWESOME. \o/ Like, I-might-buy-another-bandstock levels of awesome. I think my favourite thing is that there are no pointless little non-songs shoved in the middle of it like there were in The Magic Position.

Also, I'm feeling pretty great because I had a really productive afternoon writing (~2250 words), the sun is shining, and I'm going back to Exeter tomorrow. :D :D :D
