I have Keane in my head...
Well, the tune to 'Bedshaped' (or is that Snow Patrol?), anyway. I phoned the welfare people at college today. Have to wait until next week to possibly get an appointment. Bah.
On the up-side, I might be getting casual work from next week, because Mum says they're swamped and need more people. This is a major bonus because I wasn't expecting to get anything from them for a month, if at all. So, that's all good.
I had an...enlightening conversation with Nic the other night. She was talking about message board/fandom communities. Now, she's pretty well known in her 'neighbourhood', so to speak. I'm more of the mostly harmless lurking/observing type (most I comment on is TheOtaku stuff). I told her I was thinking of going to a convention, and when I told her about cosplay, she suggested I should dress up as an 'anime girl'. Bad mental image, that. I guess I should be kind of flattered... ;)
Being alone in the house has its advantages. I can play my own music on the stereo, and watch my DVDs on the big TV. And play my fansubs through my laptop and old speakers. Managed to get through two Mai HiME and three FMA yesterday, simply because they're the ones I have on my HD.
With ZoneAlarm effectivly down - and me relying on various other programs for security - trying to get BitTorrent to work simply for my own geekish entertainment is not a good idea.

Quotation:
“No matter how good someone else says you are, no matter how good you may THINK you are, you will nevertheless be a lonely orange when X person or Y person is shopping for apples.”
