So, I've not updated this journal recently as we all know that I am STP (Susceptible To Procrastination).
My Tab key is on the loose again after finally wearing out the double-sided foam tape I was holding it on with, and I found it stuck to my ass yesterday. The Saga resumes.
I am now using the journal to procrastinate on getting my stupidly huge assignment done. I should stop doing that now.

P.S. The day before yesterday I finally paid that overdue payment I blogged about two months ago. I'm actually amazed that I ever do manage to update this journal.

I can't get my friends list to load. Emo emo emo.
My search shows that the fault lies somewhere in Kansas, which given the current(9pm) time over there means they should have had it fixed already. D:<

I've managed to get the post page working, so at least I can vent my frustrations in a peaceful manner.
Also, this is the perfect excuse to procrastinate from putting up [info]kinkfest prompts, which are proving to be much harder than expected (no puns, please.)
Goes something like this:
Fandom: Okay. Uh, Baccano!.
Character I like Luck. /pairing What? Why does there have to be a pairing? Isn't Luck good enough?
Kink Okay. Kinky Luck. Well, he, uh. Might. Um. Okay, Luck. Cards! Luck likes to play cards! Only that isn't really kinky. Unless it's strip poker? Does strip poker count as a kink?! WHY IS THIS SO HARD?! *Sobs, gives up, draws comfort porn.*

Poor Paddy-puss had/has an abscess on his chest, which meant he had to stay the night at The Vets. He's back now, with a drain stitched in, and pitifully waving his paw in the air in order to get scraps off peoples plates. Veto is being over-protective of his brother, and consequently whenever another of the cats steps within a ten foot radius of Padung, Veto is up in their face, all fluffed going "What? What?! You wanna piece of this?!" Which is both cute and somewhat scary at the same time.

Time in Kansas is now 11:15pm. Still no friends list.

Tab key still not attached, despite many efforts. I think it's possible part of the tab key is still missing. How complacated can a tab key be?

There were warnings all over the papers for today concerning a 1100km long storm about to hit the islands, and really, I wouldn't have known about it just by looking out the window.
Pfff, I had my chips and blankets and hot soup all ready, and nothing happened.

My artistic ability sort burned hot and fast, which means I'm left with a couple of half finished pictures and no inspiration to finish them. And I hate colouring. And I hate humidity. And I hate being mildly sick. But on the other hand, my sister has been made of awesome the past few days, looking after everybody and fetching things and stuff. And I hate homework.

HULK SMASH PUNY PAPERWORK!

Okay, I think I'll take that fever medicine now.

Tab key still not attached, but at least sitting in vaguely the right space.

Renji's tattoo's are awesome, in a way I hadn't truly experienced until I tried drawing them.
I mean, my sketchbook is just going to be full of Renji's tattoos for the next month. I'll be dating my old artwork and I'll be, oh, that was the week I discovered Renji's tattoos. There'll be tattoos down the margins of my lecture notes.
I need an excuse to draw more of Renji's tattoos. Porn. Porn will do.

Also, tab key is found, but attaching it seems to be another matter. I don't think duct ta - Oh my god, Renji + Duct tape = Renji in shibari bondage! All [info]cadence's fault. Anyway, I don't think my tab key can be fixed with duct tape, in this instance.

My tab key is still missing.

I'm not well again, suffice to say there is an internal infection and bleeding and ridiculously strong antibiotics. The usual, really.
This means I have an immense craving for fruit -last time it was berries, this time it's apples. Given that it is autumn, I'm really in luck. The rest of the family have gone out on their weekendy type errands and have been told not to return without apples.
My mum says that my on again off again love affair with apples has been going ever since I first tried them -she can remember a knee-high blond girl clinging to her skirts and hopefully asking "Ah-pull?". :D I was such a cute kid. My dad says that the apple tree in our garden ended up being held together with bits of string due to the fact they left all the undersized fruit on because they were kiddie sized. Once the string broke and a section of the apple tree fell off, much to my amusement at the time.

[info]no_true_pair Has just released the prompt list, and I am both relieved and annoyed that I didn't sign up. Relieved, because I would have had so many awesome prompts that there is no way I could have done anything but sit in front of my computer all day, and annoyed because, well, now I don't have awesome prompts.
Still, I am continuing with my [info]roads_diverged prompts, and have nearly finished the lineart for 'Gangsta'. The title is a working title, I wish to point out, and is purely to amuse me.

I would have the lineart finished already, but [info]porn_battle prompts got in the way, even though I only finished one. But I'm going to post that separately because I don't like posting porn in the same post as childhood memories, for some reason.

Also, I have lost the cap for my tab key. I think I left it in Melbourne. Hmm.
