Five hundred

[raven]

I am home, courtesy of Alex and her family. I may have mentioned before what nice people they are, but I'm doing it again because they really are. They made it their respsonsibility, for some unknown reason, to make sure I didn't have to walk home in the rain/cold/wind/freakish weather conditions, and now Alex is a friend. After all of that.
I'm bored still, but glad to be at home. I am trying to download the live version of Konstantine, but after making me happy for a few moments by leaping up to 30kb/s, it is back to 2.5 and will take another hour. It's not as if I can't leave it going until then, but this is still irritating.

We leave in four days. Farewell to all creature comforts for a while... and I am such a comfort-loving person. I should be the Kitten, not snowdrop24 - I love my bed and my pillows and I love hot water and blankets and hot coffee with sugar.
And carrion. Mmmm.
In fact, the only person I know of who could really live without this stuff is Clare - osiris13. She's talked about joining the army later... she could, methinks. In the meantime, I will have to rough it and smile about it for the next fortnight or so. In Chittaranjan Park, I may be comfortable... Dadu (my great-uncle, who calls me "Lady Iona" because of my accent) says he is looking forward to learning all kinds of new things when I camp out in his study and revise.

And there's another thing - there will be no journal entries from me for two weeks. I may, however, reach my five hundreth entry before I leave - that is, my five hundreth entry as loneraven.
It seems like I've been here forever - after all, my friends list has multiplied five-fold, I've been reviewed, I've bought my own paid account and I've been given a paid account, I've bought one for someone else, and I'm now a part of eighteen communities.
How odd. This journal is only five months old, although I've been on LJ since April...
Oddness indeed.

Golly. Well, it'll be warmer, at least. I hope your card arrives in time!

Yes, four days, and it hasn't sunk in yet. So much stuff to do before we go...
I'll let you know when the card arrives... I'm looking forward to it...

I have a sense of adventure, but no guts. Its a bad combination. I think part of me wants to join to prove to myself that I can, but thats not a good enough reason. The rest of me wants to do something that will actually make a difference on the grand scheme of things. My mum hates the idea of me joining the army. Quite a lot of people do.

I've been depressed for too long. Days.
