all made up with nowhere to go

(The subject line makes me think that one day I want to title a story "dynamite with a laser beam". Hmm).

So I ended up not working today like I was meant to. Not because I was too ill - I've felt OK all day as it happens (my lip's horribly sore but you can't have everything) - but because the trains got fucked up at Rochdale, meaning no trains to Halifax for a time, and in the end I go told to go home because it wouldn't be worth going in. I feel horrible about it, but there wasn't much I could do, and I did try.

I think I'm going to stop updating my dA. Because, as I said a few posts back, they keep on proving what fuckwits they are, and...I just don't want that in my life. I'm not deleting my account, because I'll keep it to follow what few artists I do like and follow on there, but other than that, I'll just concentrate on the sketchblog for now and think about other options later.

I'm also thinking about stopping updating my LJ, too. I mean, I think three journals is enough for anyone (heh), but again, LJ keep proving what a bunch of dicks they are every time they open their mouths. Also a lot of my friends on there don't update often. Again, as with dA, I'll probably stay on there to keep up with them though. But that one's not as set in stone as my "OMG LEAVING DA FOREVER!!!!1"

I'm reluctant to "leave" both places, as they've been such a huge part of my life for so long (and for nearly as long as each other, actually), but this happens. I can't stand being around idiots, and you've got to move on. Nothing stays the same forever, right?

Need to email peeps about Xmas cards, also. If they want one, that is (I have some awesome ones this year that I actually bought in November, so I am uber-prepared this year. Ha ha).

I started reading A Softer World partly because musesfool keeps being inspired by it for fic, and because I know dingsi has mentioned it before. I am not very far in, but so far, OMG OUCH. But I can't stop reading!

Finally, I listened to Brian May's version of Too Much Love Will Kill You and it is the saddest thing I have ever heard! (Which ties in with the OMG OUCH. I nearly cried on the bus on the way home listening to it, and I'm not even premenstrual! WTF?)

Youtube linkage here (because I can't be arsed to upload). (Not too sure what's going on with that trenchcoat though).
