bending_sickleI went to Rotterdam (flickr) today, mainly staying in the Museum Boymans van Beuningen. At one point I was listening to Jonathan Ross chatting with David Tennant and it was all I could do to not break into a huge goofy grin. "You're a monkey!"
I can't at the moment remember what I did yesterday afternoon, but it was undoubtably dull. My brother called and was actually nice and supportive, which was lovely. There was also some transcribing of The Balloonist's Wife from scribbles to typed. I'm glad I'm still sticking to it, even if I find it much too long and descriptive - editing may fix this - because I'm actually writing again. It really helps that I know where the story's going, but not in so much detail that writing isn't a sort of discovery still.
Soon - for a given value of - I'll be enjoying an episode of Season 2's Lost, Sunshine (it's got Cillian Murphy - that's all I need to, and in fact do, know), and listening to David Tennant read The Stone Rose.
These little things make life good.
Dudes, having internet at home is awesome. I'll be posting photos of all my adventures some other time. (Look, they're over 200, it might take a while.)

Technically yes, but I don't think of it as jewelery. Just Stuff I Don't Take Off.

The people I don't know personally are way funnier than those I do know. (Mainly because that's their job.)

20. What song are you listening to right now?
"Computer fan and keyboard", Sickle
21. Does anyone like you?
I've been told they do.
22. What are you thinking about right now?
This meme sucks. Hard.
23. What does your last message in your inbox say?
How I got a comment to my comment on LJ. These things make for a happy Sickle.
24. Do you call anybody by their last name?
My university professors from Montreal. (The Dutch are more of a first-name-basis sort of folk.)
25. What was the first thing you thought about when you woke up?
Omg this new alarm clock is seriously going to give me a heart attack some day 8heart thumps madly* Aaaand we sleep.
25. What did you do yesterday?
Can't rightly recall, but I'm sure it involved moping. And buying plane tickets.
26. What would you rather be doing right now?
Throwing back the covers. *melts under comforter*
26. What did you last cry over?

Music on repeat.

Life, the Universe, and Everything.
29. Have you ever had your heart broken?
Yes.
30. Have you ever been out of the country?
*laughs unceasingly*
31. Does the future scare you?
My personal future, not really. I either try not to think about it or it depresses me rather than scares. The future in general, well, if we go so far as to think about the end of the universe and all that jazz, then yes, because my frail human brain can't take it.
32. Have you ever had the cops called on you?
No, but the were called to a party I was at.
33. Who was the last person you ate with?
...Elisa and Laura, at ParkPop.

At the airport, some months ago.

Two weeks ago on a Tuesday, last day of Hip Hop/Streetdance.
37. Where do your grandparents live?
They don't.
38. Can you drive?
Nope.
39. Where is your favorite place to be?
I currently gravitate towards the train station's cafe. But ye gods do I miss the concept of food courts: a roof, public toilets and tables at which you can sit undisturbed for ages. I have other favorite places, but going there'd require at least a plane ticket.
40. Where would you like to move?
Scotland, for no discernible reason, or Australia (when I'm really peeved at the world).
40. Do you have nightmares?
Not often.
41. Have you ever told anyone you were okay when you really weren't?
This is called human nature, meme.
42. Do you think anyone out there loves you?
I feel more sure of saying yes in regards to my friends than in regards to my family. Because there's a difference between, "hey, we're related and I'm sort of interested in your general well-being" and "I love you because you're you".
43. What have you done so far today?
Been a cultural tourist. And moped.
44. Ever really liked/loved someone that wasn't good for you?
Yes, but mainly because I started acting stupidly around my crush. Friends, this is where you stop me, not encourage.
45. Do you talk a lot?
If I have the occasion.
46. Can you play pool?
Yes, albeit probably not very well. However, I did get one mean shot of hit-one-ball-so-it-hits-the-other-and-bounces-off-the-edge-into-the-hole.
47. Did you cry today?
Almost.
48. Where were you at 8:00 this morning?
In bed, like normal folk.
49. Have anything you wish you could tell someone but can't?
Nope. Something to a particular someone, maybe.Like, "Take me, take me now!"
50. Do you find it in your heart to forgive?
I forget, more than forgive. Until I start crying, then I pull back all those forgotten memories and unforgive.
51. Has anyone ever told you that you have pretty eyes?
All. The Bloody. Time. Even when I was wee, at stores the ladies wouldn't ask my mom, " How may I help you?" but "Oh, what pretty eyes your daughter has." It's my most complemented feature. Seriously, you'd think I was nothing but eyes!
52. Do you like to smile?
I like the feeling that makes one smile.
53. Last thing you had to drink?
Chamomille tea.
54. What are you wearing?
Pj's of yellow-checkered shorts and what was, once, a yellow shirt. Until the day I washed a red skirt and everything else turned pink.
55. What colour are your eyes?
Apparently, hazel. Which is English for, "We have no idea, see, it varies."
56. Are you tan?
I'm tanned.
57. Do you prefer warm or cold weather?
In extremes, I prefer cold, because at least you can fix that. *misses proper winters* Although I wouldn't say no to a proper summer either. *curses Dutch rain*
58. Where were you three hours ago?
Biking home from the station. Or at home.
59. Are you wearing socks right now?
Nope.
60. When was the last time you went out of state?
What is this thing called "state" and where can I find it? D'you mean, like, mental state? I haven't gone nuts yet, if that's what you're implying... *mutters about stupid Americo-centrism*
61. Have you been to the movies in the last 6 days?
Yes! The Incredible Hulk and Prince Caspain.
62. Have you bought any clothing items in the last week?
Nope.

To quote
active_apathy:People just assume that time is a big wibbly-wobbly ball of timey-wimey stuff, but actually, from a linear, subjective perspective, it's more of a strict progression from cause to effect, meaning that all my clothes are from when I was younger.

But, yes and no. Meaning, there's clothes around from when I was wee, but I don't have them here.
