1. Do you ever get the feeling that you're not one of the cool kids? I say this in relation to a community who shall remain nameless.

2. On the subject of communities and fandom, the thing I like best about Sherlock Holmes fandom is that everyone I've met is really intelligent and good fun and generally very friendly. What a relatively wank-free fandom we are, we don't even ship wank! The same goes for The Ladykillers but as there's only three of us that's not surprising LOL. I love my itty bitty fandom! *hugs it*

3. Bad news. J.G. Ballard died yesterday. 2009, you really suck, all you've done is kill really cool people! Ballard was a brilliant writer of all those dystopian, angst filled, psychological, bleak novels that I love so much. I adapted one of his short stories for my Lit and Film assessment and it scored me my highest marks to date.

4. Was surprised to discovered that I found Aldous Huxley quite hot.

5. I've had a really brilliant idea for a book. I'm very excited about it! One more distraction on the road towards my degree.

I'm gonna go now.

Why is it so difficult to concentrate on your work when it's sunny?

I think I'm gonna go out when I've finished updating this. See if anyone wants to go out for a drink. Pint anyone?
