I don't deserve you!!

also, you have unfairly nice writing with a mouse :)

[libellum.livejournal.com]

thankyou :) can we see whatever you come up with?

ooo, pixie sticks ...

[libellum.livejournal.com]

isn't it BRILLIANT?

[libellum.livejournal.com]

oh yes. I'm an expert at entertaining yet entirely unproductive procrastination. It only started snowing here an hour ago, but I did get hailed on earlier.

Damnit, I want hot chocolate.

Awwwwwww!!!!

If I hadn't immediately been distracted with scribbling a logo/graphic thingy for the personal website I want, then yes.

I will practice drawing cute fluffy kittens forthwith.

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Dude, I'm all like, moved, and stuff.

The state of my life (http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?i7e9351gvw1o)

[libellum.livejournal.com]

ohhhhh... :( *hugs*

(damn it, you even manage to be eloquent in artpad...!)

[bassista.livejournal.com]

pah. wasn't that eloquent. just how things are.
one of my friends had a stroke yesterday.
and i'm having a life crisis.

[adamw]

Wow - now that is cool.

Now I get this horrible feeling that this is now going to distract me from the rest of the evening - and I was getting stuff done, too...!

[libellum.livejournal.com]

argh, sorry! the procrastinatory genuis of Macromedia Flash has struck again! Do we get to see the results?

[adamw]

hmm, that depends how I get on.

Must....resist...

:-)

[mirabehn.livejournal.com]

Oh, bless!!!!! :)

[mirabehn.livejournal.com]

*huggggggggggs*

Poor you. But well-expressed.

Snow! Snow! I want snow!!!

[duncanneko.livejournal.com]

Look, kittens! (http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?i7eeb18q46g)

(okay, so one of them looks like a devil cat...)

[libellum.livejournal.com]

it has stopped now, and has already melted on the roads. but it will probably last overnight in college :)

I've tried to go to bed twice now, but can't sleep. so instead I'm messing around online. argh. Still, manymanymany Elly-and-Nick comments! you two are remarkably good at comfort. *loves*

[libellum.livejournal.com]

awwww! the devil kitten is the cutest. I think I've met it... :)

[oakwonder.livejournal.com]

Ooh, nice toy. But I can only make dirty scrawls, not real pictures like all the rest of you. *sulks*

[verte.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwww!

Poor H. I prescribe Horlicks and biscuits. I wish I could send you pringles and hummous via the post, but I'm not sure they'd be very tasty by the time they got to Cambridge.

But *hugs* I'm working on an essay, too, if it's any consolation, and have a similarly high pile of books of doom. But I'm still enjoying it, at this stage... We'll see how I feel on Sunday night. :/

[martylog.livejournal.com]

Genius!

[nightkitchen.livejournal.com]

now that was spectacular.

it's snowing in Cambridge? it's so warm in Montreal! something is amiss.

take care! hearts! may you get some sleep too.

[the-lady-lily.livejournal.com]

So, so feeling that... love the vast amounts of DOOM and the realistic sleeping-ness.

[libellum.livejournal.com]

you're calling that a real picture? *amused*

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Horlicks, mmmm. I need to find time to go shopping at some point - top of my list is some Green and Blacks hot chocolate. It's a pity you can't send comfort food through interflora, or something ... :)

best of luck with essay. I've been to the GPs now and he was nice and straightforward and didn't try and examine me, and I have antivirals, and tea, and a cigarette, and. We can do this :) Glad you're enjoying it - I'm just going to rush this one off, because it's all a bit of a farce, and get back to finishing the Extended Coursework Essay of Love as soon as possible, because I'm enjoying that one, even if it is the hardest thing I've ever had to write.

Can I ring you tomorrow evening, or are you going out? *hugs*

[libellum.livejournal.com]

what, artpad? indeed :)

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Yes. remarkably therapeutic. I also drew this one (http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?i7e8313tzz8) last night, which may amuse you. heh heh heh.

[libellum.livejournal.com]

It started hailing about 4pm, and then a couple of hours later was snowing. It's all melted by now, but it surprised us as well - the temperature suddenly plummeted yesterday, it's been fairly mild for most of November. Apparently they're predicting (in England) the coldest winter this century....

I got some sleep in the end. I now have tea. This is good.

[martylog.livejournal.com]

No, you!

[the-lady-lily.livejournal.com]

Heh. I am not allowed to laugh too loudly, but it is rather sweet. And I do like the curiously broad shoulders!

BTW, tea this afternoon is fine, although pref. before 4pm.

[libellum.livejournal.com]

heh :) I'm not going to post the alternative version on LJ, but he did comment that when the form started coming through he didn't expect him to be holding a pipe... :)

I'll see you this afternoon, then :)

[libellum.livejournal.com]

oh! I can't see why, but thankyou :)

[martylog.livejournal.com]

Well, perhaps I'm exaggerating a little, but it made me smile.

[verte.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, green and blacks. And don't you dare buy it without also purchasing some marshmallows and chocolate flakes. This is the stable diet of our living room at the moment.

I'm glad everything's straightfoward at the very least. We can do this indeed. :) I skipped a lecture and have already been sitting in the library for an hour and a half. But! It's on Renaissance courtly love and self-identity, so I'm writing about Thomas Wyatt and his alternately misogynistic/effeminate reaction to women, and then am going to go on to talk about Shakespeare's 'young man' poems and put forward a slightly scary theory that a great deal of poetry written in Henry VIII's court actually has homosocial/homoerotic overtones, hence all the misogyny and fluctuating self-identity, but that it isn't made explicit until Shakespeare. I've never read any criticism that suggests this so am slightly scared, but hey. YAY! What's your essay of love about?

I will be going out, but probably not for all that long so yes. Ring meee! *big hug* xxxxx

[libellum.livejournal.com]

marshmallows and flakes hadn't occurred to me, but now you mention it I agree that they're entirely necessary. Also, I want to be in your living room.

Your essay sounds very exciting :) can I read it? The one I'm doing today could be interesting except the question doesn't make sense. It's on (I think) concepts of self and other under the Imperium Romanum, the tension between the inclusive and transformative nature of the imperium and the continued construction of a barbarian sterotype, and how these are illustrated by the art of the Second Sophistic. The question appears to be asking about the relationship between Rome and Greece during this period, but as it wants us to refer to art and there are very few portrayals of Greeks in imperial Roman art, I'm confused. Am very unimpressed with this supervisor so far in general :/

The essay of love, on the other hand, which I will return to as soon as this silly art thing has been handed in, is all about the accounts of the Essene Jewish sect in Josephus and Philo and to what extent they're consciously Hellenizing. *nods* It's really quite specific and mainly consists of in-depth comparative textual criticism, so possibly wouldn't make fun reading :)

[the-lady-lily.livejournal.com]

he didn't expect him to be holding a pipe... :)

In all honestly, I didn't expect him to be either ;)
