My brain's decided it's done enough thinking for the day and has shut off. I really need caffiene tablets!!! Totally did not almost write cannabis tablets just then! I need to lock Eldu in a cupboard again, methinks. Anyway, I have no brain and I also have an English essay to write for tomorrow. Thank goodness I have a free period first which means, if I get up at 6 and do everything else super quick tomorrow I'll have 3 hours to write this thing in the morning. And tbh if I can't finish it in 3 hours then I can't finish it at all full stop. Which means I'll probs be goign to bed in 2 hours seeing as it's 7pm now. Tbh I could quite happily fall asleep this very instant... or I will be able to after I've had dinner.

Looking at this cover: -thinks- Whose device is that? It isn't Fëanor's... I think it's Thingol's. No, it can't be Thingol's... but it has those strange things round the outside; I'm sure they're on Thingol's device. -goes to check on her map of Beleriand which also has various devices- -under a more elabourate version of that one is written 'Elwë' [aka Thingol]- -grins- Me good. EDIT: the more elaborate version: |

Guess that means I lean towards introvertedness

my teacher: Oh, I'm striking. -pause- After all I am French!

Dear idiot in my year,
Before you start slagging off the teachers for striking, may I recommend actually watching/reading the news? You are wrong; their jobs aren't secure even though there will always be a need for teachers and if you think they get longer holidays than everyone else in work I suggest you ask a teacher what they did over the weekend every weekend when cursework's coming in. They aren't being bayish; they are being robbed. They have to work harder for 7 more years for only £5k a year pensions. Do you ave any idea what £5k a year means? You'd probably pay £5k on drums without even batting an eyelid. Being a teacher is one of the hardest civilian jobs. In any other job if someone starts screaming abuse at you that person is removed. If you're a teacher, that person is one of your pupils and you're supposed to put up with it. The teachers are going to be bollocked by the Tories for months if not years over this so no, they haven't gone on strike on a whim. Now piss off.

My dad is paid for a 4-day week. By Friday he had already worked his 4 days and his work owes him for overtime.
Today he had to leave at half 3 in the morning. He shouldn't even be at work!
Tomorrow he's working again, so he has no weekend.
People put him down to be on call all Monday without consulting him.
By next Friday he will have worked 9 days with no break.
Work, stop killing my dad!

I'm getting tired of people all over the place (but mainly on NaNo) saying 'I'm crazy/insane/not normal' No you aren't; by saying that you've told everyone you're as normal as they come. If you were clinically insane you wouldn't broadcast it; you'd keep it quiet and seek medical help. Insanity isn't cool people! Neither is retreiving your nose from all over your face; just fyi.

... and on a nicer note...
Thinking about it I think I've only knowingly met 2 Americans in real life, one of whom sounded scarily like John Barrowman. He's an English lecturer at Aberystwyth and he was so cute! Mind you I think the fact that his name was Kelly had something to do with that.
One of my Psychology teachers spent his teens and most of his twenties in and around New York so he has an American outlook and stuff but he's from Oxford which is about as unforeign for me as you can get.

So I'm going to test to see how many people I know are playing who in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. This is made all the harder because there are pepole missing from the list on this link, namely Benedict Cumberbatch (the Necromancer/Smaug) so it's a case of too many characters for names. White = I got it Grey = I don't got it and had to look it up Black = Can't find anywhere; much confusion Richard Armitage - Thorin Oakenshield John Bell -  Cate Blanchett - Galadriel [not in the book] Orlando Bloom - Legolas [not in the book]Jed Brophy - NoriAdam Brown - ÓriJohn Callen - ÓinLuke Evans - Bard Martin Freeman - Bilbo Stephen Fry - The Master of Laketown Ryan Gage - Alfrid/Drogo [evil OC]/[not in the book]Mark Hadlow - Dori Peter Hambleton - GlóinIan Holm - Older Bilbo Barry Humphries - Golbin-king Stephen Hunter - BomburWilliam Kircher - BifurChristopher Lee - Saruman the White [not in the book]Evangeline Lilly - Tauriel [evil OC]Sylvester McCoy - Radagast the Brown [not in the book] Ian McKellen - Gandalf the Grey Bret McKenzie - Lindir [not in the book]Graham McTavish - DwalinMike Mizrahi - Thrain [should already be dead]James Nesbitt - Bofur Dean O’Gorman - FiliLee Pace - Thranduil Mikael Persbrandt - Beorn Andy Serkis - Gollum Conan Stevens - Azog [should already be dead] Ken Stott - Balin Jeffrey Thomas - Thror [should already be dead]Aidan Turner - Kili Hugo Weaving - Elrond Elijah Wood - Frodo [not in the book]Well I think I failed that.... Two things: 1 - is it bad that I know all the Elves/Men/Hobbits/Wizards and only like 3 of the Dwarves? 2 - who on earth is John Bell? He's not even listed on IMDb |

Mum: -reading aloud from Rough Guide to the USA- 'While the French quarter of New Orleans is safe enough during the day, make sure you aren't on the streets at night because of-'
Me: -thinks- vampires
the actual answer was muggings which aren't nearly as fun. Needless to say we aren't going to New Orleans any time soon

So I'm having... problems keeping LotR and Interview with the Vampire (IwtV) fandoms apart at the moment, not that I'm suddenly writing for IwtV or anything. I really want to write the last chapter of this LotR fanfic while listening to Imaginaerum by Nightwish, which for some odd reason I have linked to IwtV, but, well, I have a problem. I keep writing Thranduil like Lestat DX
Thranduil: I'm... just going to put my hair up. In a black ribbon. Snazzy.
Me: M'okay.
Thranduil: Any, uh... any violins around these parts?
Me: I.... don't think so. I'm not even sure that there are violins in Middle Earth.
Thranduil: No problem; I'll just play a bit of the ol' piano over there instead.
Me: What piano? Oh... nononono! Get back here! ...Ah SHIT DX...
Thranduil no cooperate. -pokes him-
