Hannah, Ashley
Hellooo. I have reopened, but have not switched to Wordpress (I couldn’t be bothered in the end). Though that wasn’t the actual reason I closed. A family member found my blog through Google and I just didn’t want my offline friends/family knowing about it. I deleted the offending entry and now I don’t appear in the search engine results for those words. I just hope they didn’t bookmark or remember the name of the site.
Anyway, so an update on my failure of a life. My birthday was pretty good. I can;t actually remember what happened on the day but I remember it was nice. 
I had my party with my brother’s girlfriend, it was a nice evening but I ended up not feeling too good. 
I completed NaNoWriMo, yay! 
Here’s my winner’s badge:
My courses are going pretty well, one actually finishes in a couple of days—I can’t believe how quick the time has gone. 
They weren’t actually a week apart (see last blog), but a day. 
I have three essays due in within the next week, which is a little overwhelming when you go from nothing to that. But I think I’m on top of it.
I might be moving in with my brother and his girlfriend, as their ‘roomie’. They only live down the road so it would be ideal. I just hope I can afford the rent, I don’t know if I can yet.
I have opened two new fanlistings and a new site. I say ’site’, but it’s a directory—for doll tutorials: Doll Tutorial Directory. The fanlistings are Read All About It for Mock the Week, and Three Talents for Mr. G, a character from Summer Heights High.

*sigh* I’m not even entirely sure why I made a blog, to be honest. I mean, I wanted a place to write about my life (lulz), but nearly everything that happens I deem too boring to blog about.
I have ideas for “articles” but when I get the chance to write them I can’t be arsed. I will write them one day.
Anyway, at the end of this month I will be starting my first Open University course, then on November 7th I will be starting the other two. I just looked back through my entries and I haven’t actually blogged about them yet. </idiot>
OK, so I’m going to do three starter/openings courses, just to get me used to studying again, and to get an idea of what they’re like. The first is one to help me with essays, because I was terrible at them at school. That one starts on Oct 31st. The other two (starting on Nov) are starter courses for law and psychology, so I know which of them I’d like to study further (if at all).
I could have started them all in October, but I thought I’d start one a month earlier so I had a month to get used to doing it. But the actual start dates are just a week apart, so that’s that out of the window.
So they will keep me busy over the next twelve weeks.
I’m also doing NaNoWriMo again this year—my third year. I don’t think I’ll manage to complete the 50k this time around though, but I’ll give it a go.
Oh, and it’s my birthday in November. I may be having a joint “party” (meal) with my brother’s girlfriend, whose birthday is also in November. She suggested it, though really I need to ask her if she still wants to do it.
I’ve started looking for a flat again. Everywhere I’ve found is either a) too expensive, or b) too far. I want to live as close to here as possible so I can still pop round to see my family (though mainly the cats ). I found a perfect place a while ago: quite below my price range but really nice—but I hesitated a bit because it was kind of far, but looking back it wasn’t really. By the time I arranged to view it it had gone.

Finally, a new skin. Click here to set it if it’s not already set.
I wanted to do a black and white “sketch” type layout for a while but never actually got around to do it. Then I was doodling a few weeks ago and drew this cat peering over a bowl, and I thought, “Perfect!” Not only was it a sketch but it was of a cat, and I love cats (zomg really?!). So I copied it, as best I could, in Photoshop and voila!
Admittedly, the actual drawing is miles better. And the title is kind of crappy—I wanted it to look “sketched” but honestly: must try harder. At first I wanted it to be quite neat, but after failing to get it right I settled on going for something rougher. It actually turned out neater when I didn’t try so hard.
I am fairly pleased with the whole thing though.
I have now been approved for three of the fanlistings I applied for, and they’re all up:
ICE FISHING!—for Scottish stand-up comedian Frankie Boyle.
MY Sandwich?!—for series five of Friends.
You BUMDER!—for the sitcom The Inbetweeners.
