So I should crack open the books and get some reading done today. Two essays are due in on January 17th and I work tomorrow, New Year's day and the day after that.
But this is a very disjointed entry because I keep thinking of things I want to ramble about but don't have the energy to put them in any particular order. Maybe it's the result of staying up until 4am drinking and watching comedy with Skyler and Kye last night, but it's most likely procrastination. So let's not do that.
Errr... Instead, another meme that I meant to start a while ago and just forgot about starting. Watch me not keep up with this every day.

So, this is a post of memes. I meant to make several posts recently about various things including the December 9th protest and vote on fees, Festimas goings on and whatnot, but as with all good intentions these plans went array.
My old laptop died suddenly a few days before Christmas and let me tell you that emergency shopping for a new laptop three days before the biggest international gift-giving day of the year is pretty hellish. But I have a new laptop and it is beautiful, but still very empty.
December 14th was mine and Skyler's first anniversary of our civil partnership. We went to the same restaurant we went to last year after the ceremony and had an amazing meal and bottle of plum wine between us. It was so spectacular, wonderful day ♥
December 24th and 25th were pretty calm and quiet--we opened presents, Skyler cooked a wonderful turkey dinner for us and we marathoned through the LOTR trilogy. They are very much winter season movies, but this time watching them I felt very melancholy, and not over the heart-felt tears and sobbing scenes, it was more the very last scene, the sense of change and it never coming back. I think it's really starting to come to terms with the fact that my life is vastly different to what it was, online and offline, and it will never return to that again. It's an odd feeling because before I felt very stationary, like time had stopped for me. It wasn't really stopped, it was just that I was out of touch and wasn't wanting to move with the real world, didn't want to engage, didn't want to partake in it. Maybe it's just knowing that I really can't be a child anymore, and that's a bit scary and a bit sad, but I'm pretty happy all in all with where I am, where I'm headed. Ahhhhyep. I digress.
Have a few memes instead, this shouldn't be too heavy a post. Yoinked from the
