This should probably be more than one post but..



I am starting to really look forward to going home. Will be very nice to see my family again and relax, I can not believe I have not been home since early Jan. Wow. That is over 7 months. I saw my family for a week over easter when they came here. But I have not seem my sister or the spawn, my grandmother,  the dog, cat or horses in all that time. Most of my family I have not seen in a year. I kind of would like to talk to my uncle about the choice to switch to computer science. I know it is not something I will go back on, but his opinion really matter to me.

Talking about Sister and Spawn. The Spawn have been christned. How do I know this? My mom ranted to me on the phone. I am the child's aunt, me and my brother make up half of the child's aunt and uncles. You think my sister had the decency to give me a call or send a post card or maybe even an email, telling me it was happening? Nope. I officially don't know. Mom and I talked about this. I think I will pick up something somewhere, not sure what though (need to talk to mom about that too), so that I have a gift when my sister tells me. That I can deliver with a "Oh, really? That is great!  I only wish I had known so my gift could have arrived on the day." My sister is smart. She understands sarcasm. Not only did she not tell me, no-one else on our side of the family knew. Not my mother until teh day my sister left (she did it up in the north with her father, which I guess is fine), none of the aunts and uncles or my grandfather. This is his first great grand child. Now my close family are not all that big on christenings but it really matters to some of my aunts and uncles. Why the fuck is my sister ruining this child's realationship with her family before she is even one year old?

In more happy news, I found somewhere new I want to work next summer. CERN. Yes. Want to work there. They have a summer student program that had me really exited. My Boss read about it too and agreed with me. I will send in an application as soon as they open the aplications. I'll be working in Switzerland or France (eek, with my French? Bonjour? Qui? Un coffe, sil vous plait). But yes, I really want to go. Never been to either....Oh... If I go to France, I might end up being there during le tour. Squeee!

As for the character I posted about, I came up with something and I really like her. Though she has potential to be a Mary Sue, have to be careful about that. Then again, maybe not. Depends on what side of her I play up. Also I trust my friends to tell me if I start straying into Sue land.I will probably give her her own post at some point. Let's just say, at this point it is too much Devil May Cry, Dirge of Cerberus, Trigun and classic rock that is influencing me. And you know me. I like screwed up characters.

Also my chain arrived yesterday, part of it was brother's b-day gift. I got him 2 lb Galvanized steel rings for making chainmaile with, I made sure it was armor strength stuff as he is planning on doing more real weapons and not boffing stuff. Bare Steel as we call it. I am also pretty sure it was galvanzised I got him for the coif. Come to think of it, I need to make my coif too... I also got stuff for myself. Will take pictures when I get home and start making stuff. Bronze, yellow brass and copper. Pretty colors.

Claire have almost talked me into joining Deadlands. And since this song have been stuck on my mind maybe there is an idea...

1) Choose one of your own characters.
2) Make them answer the following questions.
3) Then, tag three people.
4) Feel free to add some questions of your own.

In other news. Life is good. I am slightly on top of things. Mainly due to not going to practise yesterday. I don't think I will go on wednesday either. I have other stuff that I need to do. Project, paper and one take home exam

So first post of DEE's journal just went up.
It is here.
Feel free to make a character and comment on it. Anything that is not incharacter (ie. notes that is for me and not him)  please start with an ooc notice... Thanks
