(no subject)

I went to the supermarket and had breakfast again :-)
That's plural weeks now, yaay me :-)
... the person on the checkout remembered my order from the other weeks. apparently I am distinctive. well, I knew this.

My sundays are exciting, eh?

Plan for next week: Get to the library.

Was going to go hat and coat shopping with mum at some point too, but in my head that's kind of stacked behind the library thing.

And the week after next is college again.
Yaays for finally having something to do.

... worries for having done no thinkwork for like half a year now ...

And I recall exactly why I read mostly fanfic

I finished reading the Malloreon.
I can see why I used to like it. I used to believe God had chosen for me a particular future involving a husband and babies. Since I now look back on that version of me with vast bewilderment (and a great deal of relief that I grew out of it) the ending no longer works for me at all. In fact it irritates the hell out of me.

So, anyways. Have finished reading. Books are now on a shelf I have to climb on furniture to reach. They will likely stay there for the forseeable future.

I still like Silk. I could like Velvet if she wasn't so very obviously designed as Silk's other half. If she existed with her own agenda and just happened to catch Silk's eye, I'd like her quite a lot. As it is she was introduced along with the idea she fancies Silk, and that makes her all about him with incidental accomplishments. Which makes her hard to like.


I've got to start writing more female characters. I mean there's ones I actually like in Doctor Who and Torchwood and Buffy and Angel, and here I am only writing about a couple of guys. Granted the bit where they're a couple is a refreshing part of what I don't find in many sources yet, but the bit where there's no women in my story any more isn't cool either. I can write about Tosh and Martha and Willow and... huh, Tosh and Willow would really work...

Anyways. Fanfic. Has more of the stuff I like and less of the stuff I don't like and if I like it not I can hit the back button.
I know it's a theoretical possibility to give up on books too, I just don't seem to have the right mind for it.
