lighting trees in darkness
Apr. 25th, 2010 01:13 amFirst of all, thank you all for your comments on my last post, they were very much appreciated, and I am sorry for disappearing for a fortnight.
As for why I did that... well, I'm quite busy, and what with one thing and another I'm suffering quite badly with anxiety at the moment. My workload is building up gradually, I have an interviewing assessment next week (which is haunting me a little), and I keep thinking in spare moments of the whole moving-abroad thing, so, yes, the ground-state is a little tense. Maybe a lot tense, but it's situational. ("Yes, it's your worst fear," said my talk-therapist, "you're normal.")
But, the weather is getting better and better - god, today was lovely; sunlight like golden sugar, there's that glorious sweetness coming back into it - and my life is coming together and anxiety apart, I feel good. Yesterday night![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jacinthsong and I drank half a bottle of wine each and went skipping across London in the last of the daylight, with glitter eyeliner and glitter eyeshadow and body glitter and glittery nail polish and glitter hairspray, and when we got to the venue (it was a club night called Stay Beautiful, and there was a lot of glitter in evidence) there was quite a bit of vodka. We looked awesome. I danced a lot. And collapsed into Laura's pillows at some post-midnight hour and woke up with glitter in my ear.
Today we mostly sat in the sunshine, watched Deep Space Nine and Doctor Who, and I have come back to Oxford and am feeling unaccountably sleepy. Things:
-I just read Blackout, the latest installment in Connie Willis' time-travelling historians universe. ( minor spoilers for Blackout, major ones for Doomsday Book )
-I am, as mentioned above, also still watching Deep Space Nine, and still really rather in love with it. I am four episodes from the end and will wait until I've finished it until I talk about it in general, but more briefly, I was watching an otherwise unremarkable late episode, "Covenant". ( spoilers )
...bah. I am dull. In short: I am well, there is glitter in my ear, I like books and TV.
Tomorrow, law calls. Night night.
