where will you be when this is through?

Random stuff:

~ You know, I get the awareness for mental health thing, and I appreciate it, but I wish TPTB would implement it in different ways. Also I realised the other day that the BBC are being incredibly ancivilious(sp?) about it.

I know some anvils need to be dropped (thank you, TVTropes), but there are better ways to go about it.

~ Bio-Oil. I've never used it, and I have no intention of ever doing so. But I mean, god forbid a woman goes out of the house looking anything less than perfect (and it is a woman - always - I suppose men don't get stretch marks* and they look all manly with scars**, amirite?) I dislike my stretch marks*** and I'm not proud of my scars, but fuck it. People aren't perfect. Those scars I dislike are there to remind me not to be stupid.

UGH I JUST. I DON'T EVEN. It makes me so angry.

~ I want all Mass Effect all the time. Although currently only the first game because I (currently) don't like what little I played of the second one.

~ Doing some major working out for a painting. This has been hampered, however, by not being able to find and buy a big enough canvas. I probably have one in my room, but it probably already has something painted on it. I'd intended to start laying down the many layers of background while I was working out the main parts in coloured pencil this weekend but, uh, not so much with that.

It's like the universe either a) doesn't want me to make art or b) wants me to recycle. I'm not going to argue with the second, but the thought of painting over a painting, even if it didn't work, fills me with horror.

Even painting over that one cutting-and-sticking that obviously didn't work. *shakes tiny fists of rage and indecision*

~ I have been playing ilomilo a lot recently. I mean, I like puzzle games, but this is an adorable puzzle game. With awesome music. The story is sad, and mysterious, until you get the whole thing. But I like that kind of thing (it's always about the angst. Except for when it isn't. Like Mass Effect. I suspect the angst is part of the reason I am putting off ME2, aside from that I don't like it).

~ I should probably go to sleep. And maybe dream of distant parts of the universe c:

*Except I'm pretty sure they do.

**Even if they were self-inflicted, like the majority of mine.

***Anyone who's ever had the misfortune of seeing my thighs or the back of my knees can testify to this - apparently it's because my muscles grew faster than my skin did. Yes, my legs are weird-looking.
