I must have The Avengers at the back of my mind.
I was daydreaming a scenario where Saeros, Thranduil, Galion, Lovai and Hallen are in Thranduil & Galion's muse realm halls and Saeros is like to Thranduil "There's nothing you can do that can phase me!" yardy yardy and Thranduil's like oh rly? And Saeros turns to leave but can't get through the doors because Thranduil and Galion have magicked them shut so he's like "Oh very funny, they must be locked somehow" and steps back. But then Creidhe comes through them fine like "hey what's happening?" And Thranduil's like "oh not a lot, just some casual Saeros torture" and Saeros meanwhile has tried to open the doors again now he knows there shouldn't be anything stopping him but still can't so Galion's like to Thranduil "Cut him some slack; let him out" so Thranduil calls Saeros over on the pretence of giving him the counter spell but really intends to send him to sleep.
So Saeros comes over and Thranduil snaps his fingers or whatever which usually sends people to sleep but because Saeros has similar magic to him he subcosnciously counters it so nothing happens. So then Thranduil, in green robes and holding a staff in one hand, frowns and tries again and still nothing happens. So then Saeros half smiles and says "Performance issues... happens to the best of us."
...thanks for that one, brain.

More problems:
Thinking about this fanfic I've had on the back burner for a while. In one scene Elros asks Oropher to 'hold this for a minute' and hands him Aranrúth, which used to be Thingol (Oropher and Thranduil's old king)'s sword. Thingol was pretty powerful so Oropher's like 'ermergerd; Therngerl's swerd.' Then Thranduil comes over to him all spacey and fey and generally creepy (a facade to make people stay away from him) and Oropher looks at him wide eyed like 'ermergerd; Therngerl's swerd'. And Thranduil's like genuinely wow how the heck are you holding that. And Oropher's like 'I've got chills.'
Then they both stop, look at each other and start singing I've got chills, they're multiplying etc.
...Thanks, guys.

The scary moment when you finally sort out online banking, look at your statement and see that all you have left is £11.33. When you were sure you were still in the 100s.  |

I assembled my bow for the first time in 3 years and I did it right first time! She's so pretty. [LINKY]. And here's a close-up of the riser because the lamination's so cool: [LINKY]Dad says you can get a longbow, string, case and arrows all for just £70 which is really cheap for this kind of thing. If I join the reinactment group at uni and they say I can shoot guess what I'll be asking for  . Then I'll have two bows to name... |

I link characters with songs unintentionally.
I've linked Saeros with When the Levee Breaks
and Thingol with Stairway to Heaven
and I have no idea why!!!
Someone please help me understand my brain DX

One of the guys in the townhouse steals food. And when the others confronted him about it the weekend I went home he just laughed it off. He doesn't steal my food because he has a crush on me* (which I hate; it just makes everything awkward because do I have a crush on him? No way! he's weird) but he does steal my milk. But if he ever does steal my food I'm going to demand he give me a pearl necklace.
*his not taking my food isn't the only reason I think this. Basically the rest of the house were like 'you do know he's flirting with you?' and I was like 'no' because no one's ever flirted with me before so I don't know the signs. But then they pointed everything out to me and it was like oh god why?

It's half past midnight and I'm still wide awake. I'll probably still be wide awake at 2. I'll probably still be wide awake at 4. Why? Because I have a tiny little swelling on the roof of my moth which is making my whole mouth absolutely cane. And my taking as many paracetamol and ibuprofen tablets as I can as often as I can only reduces it to an ache. And none of the health places on campus are open at weekends so basically I'm on my own till Monday. I have to wait until 2 before I can take anymore ibuprofen. That's 1 & 1/2 hours away and I'm already in agony again.

So I have 2 abscesses on the teeth I smashed aged 7 which have got infected and have caused huge inflammation and general ickiness in my mouth and across my face. These teeth also happen to be dead so now I'll have to have root canal surgery when this infection has gone. And I'm getting the impression that apart from my parents no one gives a shit. Which is always a nice impression to have.

People doing ESS, Ecology, Geography, Management/Business or Marketing degrees at Lancaster have the option of studying abroad in New Zealand. As a Linguistics student the closest I can get to is Australia. NZ, I'm watching you...
My options are 4 places in the USA, 2 in Canada, 1 in Australia and 3 on the continent.
These other universities' campuses are so pretty...

I've decided that I can get on with my housemates apart from when they're drunk. I hate being around drunk people - with the exception of my secondar school friends who I've known for at least 3 years and most of them for 7 years so I know I can tell them to get lost and they will actually leave me alone. And this lot have a game of congregating on one of the landings and then bursting into people's rooms. So I always lock my door when I know they're predrinking. And they're on the landing I share with Emmy and the two Katies right now. And they tried to burst in on me but my door was locked so now one of them has a jarred shoulder. And they moaned over it for a bit but now they're talking to one of the Katies who is going out tonight. I don't know; they're fine when sober but when drunk they're insufferable. Happily they don't go out often now that they're running low on money, and I can't really complain because tonight's Hallowe'en so of course they're going to celebrate by getting wasted...
