*cough* Ahem.
This is just a notice that my friending policy is thus: friend me, leave a comment/send me a PM explaining who you are and I'll friend you back. Apart from that single comment/PM, you're under no obligation to interact with me, although I do appreciate comments and the like. This is because I am terrible at commenting (although I am getting better!), so please don't be offended if you haven't received a comment from me on an entry. I will try!
Thanks,

As you may have gathered, I have signed up for NaNoWriMo.
...This was such a bad idea. However, I am determined to see it through- at the very least, I will have made a good start on the second Magnum Opus.
My profile is here, if anyone's interested. If you're doing it, let's be writing buddies!
*excited*

- 18:39:58: Making mochi!
- 18:41:14: A word of advice: reserve about 3-4 hours for making the koshian paste. It takes FOREVER, mainly because of all the boiling.
- 19:57:06: The an paste tastes nice, but I'll need to remove some more of the water. The less said about my attempts with the dough, the better.
- 20:04:27: So yeah- tomorrow, Jai and I are spending the afternoon in the kitchen! XD

So, Grace got bored. And decided that, hey, she hadn't heard how her voice actually sounded to other people recently, so- why not use her nifty new microphone and record it?
The results were...surprising, to say the least.
1. I SOUND SO YOUNG. I've always been told that I have a mature tone, and maybe that's true when I'm fully warmed up and singing at full throttle (neither of which I am on those recordings), but Christ, I sound prepubescent.
2. I'm still working out the optimum mouth-microphone distance with this thing, so there are a few bits of static- although on the plus side, the sound quality is clear as a bell.
3. One day, I will do this when I am fully warmed up and will compare the two versions. One day.
The RAR (if anyone is interested in the fruits of my labour) contains four British folksongs: Danny Boy, She Moved Through The Fair, Siuil A Ruin and Wild Mountain Thyme.
Get it here.

- 19:57:28: Had an asthma attack today. Rather surprising, since I last had one when I was five. I'm better now, though.

Jai (
kirai_kioku) should be coming down to Leeds in a couple of weeks- I can hardly wait! We can talk about lolita and fandom and music and films and tea and enjoy ourselves on this sleepover until she has to go back up to Cumbria *excited*.
In other news, I haven't been writing/posting much lately and I'm sorry- I've been buried under piles of bloody coursework; as I type this, I have Spanish coursework and a Greek translation awaiting me. But never fear! For half-term approaches (HALLELUJAH), and I will finally be able to get stuff typed up and on this blog.
Also, I now have a Twitter and a Delicious- links to them can be found in the sidebar, if that's your thing.

- 18:05:36: Feeling much better today- had a chat with Amy, who is very sensible, and came to the conclusion that some of my friends can stfu & gtfo.

- 19:56:21: It has just occurred to me that a boy in my Greek class bears a certain resemblance to Lord Byron. How did it take me this long to notice!?
- 20:00:54: @TooMuchTooLttle S'not your fault- Chandan gave it to me Fri. When they phoned me from the loos Mon, Becky hit her when I asked her- bless.
