MAMA IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA



YES BITCHES IT IS MY MUM'S BIRTHDAY TODAY AND I LOVE HER. <3 She is still fierce and awesome at 59.







ILY MUM <3 even though we both have toe cleavage lol :'(

I spent the day at my parents' celebrating with them - I'll be here tomorrow as well, for my dad's 62nd birthday! So idk, prepare for sparkly font tomorrow as well haha.

The three of us went to the museum together which was fun and omg, remember that time I went to a Christian Schad exhibit? (I should probably warn you that the entry I linked contains a painting of a half naked lady lol.) They had a really big and amazing exhibit catalogue I reaaalllyyy wanted, but it was too expensive for me (40 euros iirc). Today? IT COST 7,50. I snapped that shit up so fast, you don't even know. I AM SO EXCITED \o/

I also found another amazing as hell book that I need in my life:



IT IS SO AMAZING but it was also too expensive. I guess it's on my birthday wishlist now, lol.

I stole some pictures of the content off amazon because it is glorious:











I love this kind of stuff so much SO OF COURSE IT IS ALWAYS TOO EXPENSIVE. Also I'm not LJ cutting this because it's great, you should all see it lol.

I think I was gonna say more but I forgot? I guess this entry is long enough already though, so whatever haha.

Ugh, this week. I DO NOT LIKE THIS WEEK. There's good stuff happening besides the bad, but my mood's been down the drain for days so whatever, I still hate this week.

Good news first so I can remind myself:

I PASSED MY CIVIL LAW EXAM


which means


LAW SCHOOL ISN'T KICKING ME OUT


which... I don't think I mentioned on here, but they were going to kick me out if I didn't pass civil law. WHICH I DID, so hell yes. Oh this also means that I've passed my first year and electricwitch and I are now ~*classmates*~ lol. THIS SHOULD BE FUN.

Also good news is that I BOUGHT THIS BOOK AND IT IS AMAZING:



I don't think you can tell very well from this picture but this book is fucking MONSTROUSLY HUGE. It is also full of beautiful posters and nerdy background history about them and about early cinemas and film promotion and fnfa'sdgjhjsdk this is the kind of book that gives me nerdgasmic pleasure. Also the original price was €75 BUT I GOT IT NEW FOR €25. Fuck yeaaaaah. I am pleased.

On the downside though I'm probably being kicked out of the English faculty for failing at life and my classes (err for all you new frands: I am (soon to be 'was' lol D:) doing a full-time law BA and a full-time English BA.) Ngl it's pretty much my fault since I let my crazy ass sleeping problems and ADD get the better of me and never actually reported that I was having issues on time, so it looks really sketchy to come knocking with all this shit now that I've actually failed enough classes to be kicked out. IT STILL FUCKING SUCKS THOUGH, I really loved English. I guess this is what I get for being all "NO FUCK HELP I CAN FIX THIS MYSELF" lmao because I can't.

I talked to the English students advisor this morning and she basically said "sorry but you're fucked," though she did tell me to try pleading my case with one other person who miiiiight be able to keep me in (but probably not). I had to get up early this morning to go see her even though my sleeping has fucked up majorly again, and she already told me I'm fucked, so tbh the part where I burst into tears (and hopefully gain some sympathy) in that other person's office will probably come easy. fuuuu. I'm already embarrassed and it hasn't even happened yet.

Aaaand then there's the two months plus homicide thing which I don't think needs explanation as to why it's depressing.

The weather is nice though and at least I'm still a student SOMEWHERE? lol.

So after about five years of going "gosh I really should..." I finally read Coraline! I know I know, not like it's even long or anything but idk I just never got around to it ok! Having done so now though I feel that I should mention how it is BRILLIANT. ~*Special thanks*~ to my housemate Jonathan for letting me borrow his copy, because otherwise it would probably have taken another 5 years. Soo yes if any of you are even slower than me (doubtful!) and have not read Coraline yet, do it! Neil Gaiman is awesome and this book is proof.

I only just realised that I accidentally planned basically my entire week to consist of movie marathons with a bunch of different people, oops? I'm watching Bollywood films with my nan tomorrow, as-yet-undecided films with a friend on Wednesday, and having a Harry Potter marathon with friends on Thursday because they will be in Denmark when the next one comes out so they need to be ~prepared~. I was going to go to Denmark with them but then I was short on cash, plus the timing was bad. Sadface! Anyway I'm pretty okay with the film marathon week because even though the weather has been really really good lately, apparently a NEVERENDING THUNDERSTORM is about to start tomorrow, so I guess I'll be safely inside during that mess. This is good!

Also, I am still hung up on MJ. This is less good because it means I unleash my MJ-related emo on the world all the time because I am apparently incapable of shutting up, and I am probably boring people slowly to death with it. But WTF IT SUCKS SO BAD. This is seriously longer than I have ever been upset about anyone dying, including relatives of mine. That really kind of disturbs me idk but I can't stop being sad about it? fnas'dkg I don't know, have a damn video of him with a llama being cute because that is all I am good for right now


OKAY THE END. Cry.

Oh my god, some Russian twat hacked the Shoebox community and deleted all the entries.

What the HELL, NOT ON



... Er. In other news: I am procrastinating on my Nano novel! Surely this is a bad sign. I've decided that clearly mid-November is the perfect time to fall in love all over again with both Buster Keaton and Vincent Price, so am now downloading millions of films and not doing much writing.


ILU VINCENT PRICE ♥


I have also developed an enormous need to reread all my Wodehouse novels, because... um, basically there can never be enough reading of Wodehouse novels. I wanted one of my MCs to buy a newt and name it Fink-Nottle, but it would be tragically anachronistic. Sadface!
