| Too much to do -_- |
[06 Dec 2007|01:07am] |
Argh! This illness has really screwed me over so badly -_- I have a 3000 word essay to write for next week, a 15 minute presentation to write for next week, and then another presentation for the week after. Not to mention my dissertation outline for the 19th December as well (why is everything on the fucking 19th?!?!). i'm just glad that my other essay isn't due until January.
And then I still have a film showing for anime next week (eh... I still need to find a copy of Paprika), which I am probably going to spend writing stuff down from books. And Japan society want me to do stuff for the Christmas party (except I don't even know if I'm going to go because hey, night before my presentation, and the day I have to get up stupidly early to book the rooms for next year's anime society.)
Ugh -_- I just don't want to go back to uni this semester if everything is going to be a rush. I haven't even had time to buy Christmas presents at all for anyone and I won't have time the weekend before Christmas because I'm working that weekend and Christmas eve too -_- . Stupid illness making everything difficult!
And the doctor said that I'm not going to be fully better until after Christmas *sigh* So I'm going to be getting tired all the time.

| Character Meme! |
[03 Dec 2007|01:32am] |
Firstly, I now have pretty much no voice whatsoever -_-
Well, since I'm a little bored (and now have no voice!!! :O ), I swiped this meme off ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) jade_pen 'cause it looked fun ^^ and it's also good for finding out about characters ^^
Rules:
1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Tag three other people.
My characters are;
Jack, cafe owner and part time magic-user/exorcist; Emily, manageress of Jack's cafe and sorceress; Max, magic shop owner who knows more than he lets on; Brendan, Max's shop assistant; Cerberus, a demon.
( Meme!! )

Well, almost ^^;
So, went home on Thursday morning when my dad picked me up because I think just getting to the tram stop from the house would hav ekilled me, never mind an hour on the train -_- Had a temperature of about 39.8 C/102.2F) that night, barely slept at all. Was not happy ^^;
However, I'm almost better now ^^; I hope. I have a nasty cough and I'm still quite light headed/fuzzy and I feel dizzy sometimes when I walk ;_; Not to mention the fact that moving my neck at all really hurts -_-
And I'm still really tired and have no appetite for anything other than fruit and yogurt. I don't feel like I could stomach anything else, even if I'd want it.

I feel like a bitch, but I think I may have to e-mail JapanSoc and say I can't sell Xmas party tickets tomorrow between classes. Why? Because I'm not entirely sure that I'll make it to class tomorrow. I did go to the library, and the five minute walk up to the Union was hell -_- I had to stop every couple of minutes to make myself feel better. I did feel better when I walked back and for a while after that, but it's back full force -_- I spent 2 hours shivering under my duvet because I was cold (but still too warm O_o ) when I should have been doing essay.
And now my face feels like its burning and my arms are cold but I don't want to put a sweatshirt on because it'll be too warm -_-
But, there's no-one else to sell tickets tomorrow and what if I feel better when I wake up? I've already had to miss the practice for the dance today, and I'll miss it again next week because my sister has an interview/audition for Salford University drama course so I need to work for her -_-
I wanna' go home ;_; Ack, but anime is tomorrow as well ;_;

Ugh -_-
Feeling worse, somehow. I woke up at 7.45am and then went back to sleep until 11am and then went back to sleep until about 1pm.
And I have a library book to take back because it won't let me renew it because someone has reserved it. Joy. I'm not entirely sure that I'm capable of walking all the way to the library right now -_- My head spins every time I stand up (or move at all)

Ugh, my head feels like its full of cotton wool. Hot cotton wool (and not in the attractive sense of the word either, although I'm not sure how cotton wool could be considered attractive anyway...). I had to come home from work early today because my stomach was hating me and I was feeling kinda' like I was going to keel over. Not a pleasant feeling.
And then I slept, and still feel bad, but at least my stomach is a bit better...
Shall be going back to Sheffield tomorrow morning though. I didn't think a very shaky train was a good idea. I shall just probably be a bit useless during class tomorrow, assuming I make it *crosses fingers*
Random NaNo moment
Jack: (while interrogating a powerful demon) So, how did you get here?
Demon: Plane! :D
Jack: O_o *Demons have pasports?*

| Questions raised by NaNo |
[24 Nov 2007|12:41am] |
Would a bite from a large demonic dog who also changes into a human require you to get a Tetanus booster injection?
Also... if said demon (otherwise known as Cerberus) happened to have come over from Europe, is there a chance of him carrying rabies? Even if he came over in human form?
*snickers*
Ah, amusing questions. They're quite serious considerations for Jack though.

'tis sent! Now I just sit back and try to stop myself shaking -___-
You know how I said I should go to the counselling service when I was panicking so bad over going to Y-con, I should probably actually do that. I could do with dealing with my fear of contacting people. Except I'll get to the door and then stand there wavering for half an hour before failing to go in -_-
Anyways... back to NaNo!

There's something seriously wrong when you have to spend a week psyching yourself up to send one damn e-mail. Even if it is a rather important e-mail. Especially if its a rather important e-mail.
Basically, dissertation this year. I have yet to find myself a supervisor because the guy I wanted to supervise it has too many people already, the other guy who covers my topic (Japan and the War on Terror) isn't even in the country until after Christmas and is apparently rarely around anyway. And I have to e-mail him in Japan and ask if a third lecturer can be my supervisor even though he's not on the list of people who can supervise and did I mention my title was meant to be in last Friday? (I actually just sent it in but I don't know if I've done it right or anything -_-
And I'm sitting here, staring at the blank e-mail page and trying to will myself to write it -_- But every time I think about it, my brain seizes up and I feel panicky. It wouldn't be so bad, but this is for other e-mails too. Most e-mails in fact. If anyone ever e-mails me and I don't reply quickly, its because I've had to work myself up to doing it.

15,000 to go!! And I really need to get back to the main plot rather than scaring Brendan ^^;
I also found out that Max listens to The Archers religiously. He has a radio in his shop and grouches at anyone who dares to come shopping while he's listening ^^; He also makes the best cheese and ham toasties in York, as he insisted on telling me.
ANyways, I should really go to bed. It amuses me that as soon as I'm getting really into NaNo, I start getting fic ideas like I haven't in a long time.
Weirdly, the main one eating me is another het smut one O_o Been playing Persona 3 (and adoring Akihiko and Junpei), and everyone in the dorm is totally Mitsuru's bitch! So what I've started is MitsuruXAkihiko rough sex after the first Shadow Attack ^^
And Akihiko has the sexiest gloves ever <3

WELCOME TO HELL.
WELCOME TO LANDEL'S.
Your character wakes up in the white room of a mental hospital, their items taken, their powers dampened, and their clothes replaced with a strange grey uniform. A nurse comes in and tells them that their entire life is the product of insanity, a fabrication of their imagination.
However, hushed conversations with other patients soon make it clear that to believe such a claim would be idiocy, and that Landel's Institute resides far from the realm of normalcy that it so zealously advocates for. The days--with kind nurses, friendly announcements, and activities for patients to participate in--disguise a sinister side that remains clear to those entrapped by it even as its purpose remains a mystery.
The sinister side manifests as a dangerous reality when the lights go out. The doors unlock and the patients find themselves faced with nighttime incarnations of daytime entities: Animals grow in size and acquire a taste for blood, nurses become hideous abominations that attack unruly patients, and the man on the intercom reveals his true nature as a sadistic ringmaster who taunts those who would dare mock his power.
It is under these conditions that your character must do whatever it takes to survive. Fight monsters. Look for items. Make alliances. Break alliances. Make enemies, and perhaps attempt to break those as well.
The patients of Landel's aren't insane.
But at this rate, they will be.
CROSSOVER BY DAY. CROSSFIRE BY NIGHT.
APPLICATIONS OPEN DECEMBER 15TH.

Trying to do that Voice Post meme and I tried both of the UK phone numbers, but they cut me off before I could finish what I was saying saying that the phone number could not connect!! *shakes fist* Stupid thing. And Gizmo project hates me (or my computer may just not have a microphone) so I can't post that way ;___;
