Yet more things

[mymetalphantom]

I got given a Guinea Pig for my birthday (even though it isn't actually my birthday...hooray for early presents!) He is lovely and his name is Monty.

I made a front cover for my novel, ready to be handed in as part of my Creative Writing module.





I started reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Serious mind-fuckery going on there. I love it of course.

And yesterday I officially started learning Russian. Yay. I'm fed up of being terribly British and only knowing one language and expecting the rest of the world to understand me. The reason I'm learning Russian is that I mean to visit at some point when I have, you know, some money. It also ties in to the long standing, and I mean very long standing, fascination I have with Russia.

Other than those things, life isn't so good at the moment. Still though, I have wonderful people, online and offline to help me through.

P.S, you know, I agonise for ages over which of my fifteen icons to use in my posts. What a loser! I have no idea why I chose this one, other than because I love it.

Brave New World is quite the experience, isn't it?

I'm trying to learn Russian too ^_^ But I'm not patient when it comes to online things and I don't have the means to take any classes, so I imagine my learning will be quite slow.

I'm learning with this special programme by Michel Thomas, in which you basically learn another language in the same way your learned your own, by learning the parts to create your own sentences.

I've completed the first two hours and...well I can speak Russian like a toddler. LOL

Neat! I should look into it :)
