Update

Now watch me forget half of what I wanted to say, so, in no particular order:

1. I just wrote two thirds of my assignment today, after putting it off all of yesterday (okay, so I lifted 600 words directly from my research proposal, but it's not like they're irrelevant words!)

2. My cat does not like this whole 'work' thing; she keeps coming and staring at me and meowing until I play with her

3. I want to ask out this girl? To see The Last Waltz, by The Band, possibly my favourite film ever, but one no-one else has ever heard of? Tell me encouraging things, or funny stories about dating please? I've never asked anyone out before!

4. Thinking about signing up to a match making service (in person, not online) as I promised my friend I'd go on one date a month - she's decided it's time I dated, even if I don't meet the love of my life. Has anyone ever tried one of those? How did it go? I've done online dating before, with mixed success, but I thought I might try something new.

5. Survived christmas without murder and with my sanity intact - apparently that whole ignore and change the subject approach really does work, who knew?

Coming up next: half of the Christmas ficlets (I said they'd be new years, right?) Other half to come.

Oh, and before I forget: thank you, somehowunbroken for the card, it was waiting for me when I got home!
