Tuesday night, feeling really chatty.

enamouredWhat is up with me:
1. Finished my French homework. Verbs and tenses are ridiculous. I'm just having a hard time with them. I think I'm pretty much going to dedicate at least a half hour a day through next week to reviewing passe compose and everything else so that I don't bomb my test. Also, I missed a few assignments from the last chapter, and I'm hoping that if I pull up my test grades and finish the rest of the homework, I'll do okay for the rest of the semester.
2. OH MY GOD, HOW IS THANKSGIVING NEXT WEEK?!
3. NaNo is coming along slowly! I'm almost 3000 words behind, but I figure I can make it up tomorrow and Thursday. Hopefully I can switch shifts with someone so that I can pop in to the Night of Writing Dangerously for a little bit. That's always fun to go to. Also, I can't wait to incorporate self-written cheesy boy band songs. [dances]
4. I also want to write ALL THE FAN FICTION all of a sudden, too. I still have that Avengers boy band AU that I need to really get into, plus sequels to various things I wrote, plus a continuation of a 5+1 thing I started this summer and got really, really stuck on. I know how I want it to end, but I'm in the noveling phase right now, so it will have to wait 'til I reach 50K.
5. I know exactly what I'm getting my mom for Christmas already. Usually I have the hardest time picking out things for her, but everything's planned out so far. I just need to buy it. I'm going to get her the first season of Dallas (original recipe Dallas) on DVD, and also a piggy bank for a vacation fund with $25 in it.
Everyone else? I have NO IDEA.
6. I'm going to make my Christmas card post tomorrow. Stay tuned.
7. I spent the better part of this morning watching The Lizzie Bennet Diaries on YouTube. I watched the first ten episodes during the summer and lost track, but everyone else has been buzzing about it lately, so I figured I'd catch up. It's fun!

Date: 2012-11-14 08:56 am (UTC)Everyone in my life is getting homemade jam this year. Everyone. Because I have jars and sugar and a bunch of last season's fruit taking up room in my freezer that I need for this season's fruit that is about to start. And because I don't have money to blow trying to buy things for people I see maybe a dozen times a year at most.

Date: 2012-11-16 06:37 am (UTC)I haven't tried weaving yet, but I am seriously interested. And I got a cheap lap loom for like $3 from a charity shop, so I have the equipment. I think it has all the pieces, though I might have to buy myself a shuttle, I don't remember if it came with one. I even found a copy of the Ashford book of Weaving from ANOTHER charity shop for under $20, so I really have no excuses. I do pretty much everything else fibre arty, so I'd like to teach myself if for no other reason than to fill the gap in my skill set.
Advantages of living away from home - I don't have to hide things. Though, often, I ask people anyway, about their colour and style preferences, so the chances of something actually being useful to them are higher. I don't like the idea of making something that just gets shoved in a wardrobe.
