It would be really helpful at this point if my Doctor Who shelves would spontaneously become bigger on the inside...
(You can't even see the Big Finish CD boxes down below...)
And, and! When I plugged the camera in to get these pictures off, I found the snaps of our pumpkin from last year:
( And another big image. )
52lb of fire-breathing dragon, ohhh yeah. Drawn by a very talented Jo, and carved by a slightly less talented Andy (he cut himself. "Life is like pumpkin-carving: full of woe and bits falling off.")
NaNo is going well! I took my first round of books back to the ICS library today, and found a Loeb edition of Theophrastus' Characters just sitting on the shelves. I've been looking everywhere for a hard copy - I was starting to think it didn't exist. (It may still be out of print: Amazon doesn't carry it as far as I can tell.) I can now curl up and read about Greek character stereotypes until my eyes bleed XD
Everything else goes slooowly. Bought a pair of professionally tailored trousers. They don't fit. I mean really. I swear, if I ever find another shop that sells any kind of trousering garment in my size, I don't care about the cost - I'll do what I did with my shoes and buy up a lifetime's supply. Why does everyone want to be a size 6 again?
Ran into an old school friend (C) on the train a couple of weeks ago. She seems a lot calmer, although I'm still wary - we always did get along fine when R wasn't around. C's incredibly possessive, and I remember some very cruel things she did to try to break R and myself up. So we'll see. If nothing else, keeping the two friendships separate should be much easier than it was when we were stuck in the same class all day long. The important thing is to not mention the anorexia.
