Made some irresponsible clothing purchases, and got myself two Star Wars t-shirts and a Halo one. Now most of my t-shirts are fandom-related, and that makes me gleeful.
(I said a bit back to mum that I love that I can just pretty much go out and buy a thing with something I like on it, because having fandom stuff makes me happy).
I also bought some other clothes, but I doubt you want to hear about that. Maybe apart from the high tops I got that have stars on(!!) and random stripes of fake fur on the back? Like, why? I don't understand. Though I'm not sending them back just for that. I got them in a sale, they fit, they're nice and sturdy, and they have STARS ON THEM. (Their only flaw is that they are mostly white, so I will have to keep on top of keeping them clean).

I could've bought Maggie Stiefvater's latest book, but decided not to because:
a) my reading concentration is still shot to pieces. It has taken me two weeks to manage less than 100 pages in the book I am currently on. I still have three other books unfinished.
b) after all the hoo-haa about how racist it is, I'm not sure I want to.
(I don't know how racist it is or isn't, but the primary complaint is that she's white and writing about Hispanic characters and doesn't know when she's being offensive. Which given how she handled Henry and his mother in TRC, I'm not entirely surprised).
c) I'm not really excited about it. I want the book about the female racing gang, tbqh! But she hasn't mentioned it in a while, as she's working on the sequel trilogy to the Raven Cycle (sighs) right now. And it's possible it may never appear anyway :(
(I would love to write a version of that story myself, but that I know fuck all about cars. I mean, I know some stuff, but I don't know how they work, because I've never learnt to drive. Racing games and a passing interest in Formula One do not an expert make).
(I guess I could learn but ehhhhh. Feels like too much hard work right now).

I am procrastinating from writing by internetting.
I've had a vague itch to write, but nothing's satisfied it. I'm thinking of throwing the short story I started writing in the bin*. The basic idea is okay, but it's too bound up with a lot of real life feelings, and I think that's what's stalling me on it.
Man, I long for the days where I can just write and not give a shit about what goes on the paper. Why don't I have those any more?
(I'm sure I will; I'm just having a dearth at the moment).
Anyway, off to do that procrastination thing and maybe cook some dinner...

*I don't do that. I mean I'll file it away somewhere and forget about it.
