The Cosmic Doughnut

* can movember be over yet please

* I got a goat for my birthday! both a soft fluffy goat for cuddling and an live hungry goat for eating scrub on wildlife reserves and thus protecting valuable chalk grassland habitat. the big goat (who I only really "adopted" a share in) is called Cassie and the little goat is called Cassis because puns are cute. Cassie is white with one pinkish horn and one grey horn, while Cassis is white all over and wears a tiny goat coat to prevent me spilling chocolate oat milk on her (again).

* Olivia moved back to Bigsock and put her house in the spot I least wanted it but OH WELL I guess I will have to rearrange the flowerbeds.

* I got a jigsaw (not really hard enough but my aunt didn't know I am actually a god of jigsaws) and some nice warm purple clothes and a book about maths that I got halfway through a year ago but had to return to the library. the book is really interesting but I don't think anyone who reads this really wants to hear about set theory so I will spare you.

* I hate getting older and older without accomplishing anything. I want to go to university SO MUCH and learn and make friends and just have a semi-normal life. maybe one day. at least I don't look old I guess?

* I don't want to end this on a downer. lately I've been making more effort to talk to people I like and I think it's going quite well? I've been having problems with skype and so if you want to talk to me it's best to do it through pidgin (which you can use with msn and aim and other instant messengers as I'm sure you know). or email me or message here or something! I like to talk to you, person reading this!

I've been seeing in the new year by sleeping near-constantly and feeling like death while awake so I've been putting of making any resolutions. Then I decided that I hate resolutions because they're so vague, "I will get fit", like HOW fit? If I make open ended resolutions like that I'm just going to beat myself up for not doing well enough. So instead I'm going to make some concrete goals that I want to get done before 2014.

* finish at least 5 pictures off picture list
* do at least five character refs
* reach next city in every pokemon game currently on the go
* get strong enough to do 10 proper push ups in a row without dying
* organise Buck's flowerbed
* do some maths every day, even if it's just going over stuff in my head
* figure out wtf is wrong with my laptop
* figure out wtf is wrong with minecraft forge
* don't cry over computers
* get started on transitioning stuff (weeps)
* make new icons for all tumblrs and dw
* draw at least five ask salamanders answers
* try to stay on top of freerice but don't get sick over it
* stop reading comics I don't enjoy
* set up paypal account
* organise sprawling pics folders into sleek new system
* do stupid breathing exercises every day ugh
* don't die

Welp that's a lot more than I expected OH WELL I GUESS WE'LL SEE

Things that suck:

1. All my disks are full. This means no scanning, drawing or new music till I get a new one, unless I delete stuff first.

2. School is really, really hard work. I don't think I get half the stuff in my further maths class. Plus, half my teachers are borderline jerks? Or maybe I'm just sensitive.

3. I haven't managed to play Sabrous in weeks, I'm barely able to play any games at all actually. I'm squeezing as much drawing and playing pokemon in to the tiny gaps between schoolwork and sleeping.

Things that do not suck:

1. People who I was really worried about seem to be taking a turn for the better, which makes me happy.

2. There is a fox asleep on our lawn.

3.Plusle and Minum in mystery dungeon are unbelievbly adorable. "Please, please save my love!" D'awwww.

I WANT MOOOSIIIC DAMNIT.

Exams are so not fun. I can't take them with everyone else, in case I get something, so I have a speshal room for people with problems. Joy and jubilations, but at least I don't have to put up with Lewis bumbling around falling over desks like a giant orange wombat.

I have to study for an RS PAPER. I do not know why I need this qualification to do pure sciences at A level. It is a mystery to me. But take it I must, and I am not one to hold prejudices, I am as open-minded and acceptant of things I personally disagree with as anyone else. So I open up my (pink, badly stapled) revision booklet, and within five minutes I have learnt:

a) Evolution is only a theory, and should be treated with caution.
b) The universe began as an infinitely compact fireball.
c) The easiest way to understand the expansion of the universe is to see it as a fruitcake in the oven.

There is a fruitcake somewhere here, but it is not the universe. Casting aside my pink booklet in horror and indignation, I seized my physics text book in hopes of finding comfort.

"The first level or shell can only contain a MAXIMUM of 2 ELECTRONS. All the energy levels or shells after this can only hold a MAXIMUM of 8 ELECTRONS."

Going to weep tears of blood now. aguydaajdfsdk
