Look at how not dead I am!*

Hi, I'm not dead, etc. Gods, has it really been a month since I last waves at LJ? Nothing's really changed since the last entry, although a few things are a bit clearer. I've decided to concentrate my efforts on moving to New Zealand, because *waggles fingers* I don't even know, y'all. But yeah. Look at me wax poetical about NZ.

I've also tried to figure things out by makings lists, such as shit i can see myself doing and not dying in the process (as for whether these are possible well nobody asked you so shush), shit i want out of life and i’m not even going to ask for much, and body alterations list (i.e. things i would do to my body if the idea of change didn’t make me curl up and die).

So I'm looking up NGOs and other conservation type thingies there and getting ready to dust off the CV and hit up some folk. I still haven't completely discarded the PhD idea, but, y'know, the whole soul-sucking misery of a PhD is a bit daunting. I've also checked out OpenCulture's free online university courses and decided on a few, so as soon as I can kick my ass into gear, I'll be doing these suckers.

I've been trying to finish more things, which is why I made a to-do list long enough to make me weep and cower in fear. I've also stacked up all the books I'm reading (also not pictured: North and South, which I started a few days ago because I can't stop starting books) and by gods, I will read those fuckers or so help me.

Also I've baked things, like Carrot Cake Cupcakes and Banana Bread Cupcakes.

And I've done a shit-ton of fandom stuff. ( I am so not kidding about the shit-ton )
