Post the Twenty-Ninth: Simplicity

Hello~

I'm longing for some simplicity right now. It seems like there's so much going on, I just want to sit and relax...

I know it's bad, but when some of your friends are having difficulty with their own social life, with frenemies and drama and all that, it makes you appreciate just how easy and simple your own friendships are. It also makes you miss the ones you've been neglecting and call them up. (Sarah. <3)

Winter has struck and I am honestly caught between loving it and hating it. I'm usually a fan of winter, but it happened a bit suddenly this year... It must also be said that SFU is colder than the rest of the city, being on a mountain. The pond in the AQ was frozen over fairly thickly today. That is what really made the fact that it's winter cement in my brain. (That, and the fact that when I saw this, I was trying to bury my face into my scarf against the cold.)

NaNoWriMo is a struggle right now. I have like NO free time, and the free time I do have seems to slip away really quickly. I'm about 10k words behind now... Sigh. I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish the 50k goal by the end of the month. :| I'm really happy with how the story is going -- I actually skimmed through the whole thing yesterday and was incredibly pleased and surprised with it. It was a definite ego boost. I'm a funny person, it seems. xD;

School... school. I'm just waiting for term to end. TWO WEEKS! Unbelievable but true, and coming right on time. I have 6 more tests and 1 more essay to conquer and then I'm done for the term. I had a test today that I probably did not do well on, which kind of sucks because it's worth 35% of the term. But, y'know, I was averaging 91% before that, and there's still another test. I figure I can pull out a solid B of the class.

I've been thinking about love and wondering about various menfolk in my life... The problem with me is that I'm very suggestible; that is, if you say to me, "I think you two would make a good couple," I think about it a LOT, and more often than not end up having a bit of a crush. This also happens if I think that to myself obviously. But yeah. I don't know. I guess I just would like a boyfriend who I really like. That would be nice. Winter always makes me a bit lonely. I think it's because so many holidays happen, and I think of how I might spend them if I had a boyfriend. Also because I get very cold, and it'd be nice to hold hands with someone to warm them up instead of jamming them in your pockets.

I've been enjoying music a lot lately. A particular favourite is Fuck You by Cee Lo Green. It's such an upbeat song. I absolutely love the music video for it too. We need more 3-girl backup singers. :3 (I'll admit the line "I guess he's an X-Box and I'm more of an Atari" is also pretty win.)

I went to go see Harry Potter 7 on opening night. It was... well. It was concentrated win. As you guys know, I am a pretty big Potter nerd, maybe more than I ever really let on in public. So, y'know, being with a bunch of other people who were similar... yeah. It's really special. I guess it's a similar sort of feeling that you get at anime cons: that you're surrounded people who won't judge you, but will embrace you for things you love; that even though you've never talked to these people, they are similar to you. I'm not a spiritual person, but honestly (and you may laugh at this) when you realize that strangers aren't so different from you and that these are all people you could be friends with, it's... well, it's sort of a uniting thing.

Anyways, it's getting pretty late and oh myyy I have class in 9 hours, have to wake up in 7 hours, and have to leave the house in 8 hours... Good night.
